David Childress compiled this now classis collection of works relating to the geometric structure of the planet, the "world grid". Ancient civilizations knew about this geometry and sited their monuments at its points, including the Great Pyramid, Easter Island, and the Chinese and Maya pyramids. The Bermuda triangle is one such point among many. Many unusual natural features also occur at points which correlate with the earth grid geometry. For example, the Hawaiian volcanic seamount occurs at a 'tetrahedral' point which will be of interest to readers of Hoagland's Mars materials and followers of Drunvalo's flower-of-life work.

The book includes, among others, articles by Bethe Hagens & William Becker, who designed the EarthStar globe; Barbara Hero calculates and explains the musical equivalents of globe distances; Bruce Cathie's early method of detecting grid patterns through UFO sightings, and anomolies at other points, including nuclear testing.

A.G.W.G. shows many maps of the geometric relationship of sacred places, including the world, Europe, Afica, and Cairo. Also shows the maps of sites in Somerset England in the pattern of the costellation Canus Major. I highly recommended it for students of Earth Mysteries, Sacred Geometry, and for alchemists.

This was a decent book. There certainly are Energy Grids on Earth, but I question some of the author's opinions on them. One article in particular that I felt was pretty good is "Diamagnetic Gravity Vortexes", however, I do have a criticism of the author.

Dr. Richard LeFors Clark wrote "Diamagnetic Gravity Vortexes", which is in this book. It is an interesting article, but the key points he makes, such as the fact that the North and South poles of magnetism reverse their polarity in the Bloch Wall (at the exact center of the magnet) in a broken figure eight pattern (he calls it a 'bow tie'), and that each magnetic pole has the opposite vortex spin (North pole spins counterclockwise, South pole spins clockwise), were all discoveries first made by Albert Roy Davis, yet Clark doesn't even mention Davis in the article. That particular information and diagrams 5, 6 and 7 on page 63, and diagram 8 on page 65 were taken from "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System", written by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls, Jr. Clark's article is also mentioned numerous times in "The Shift of the Ages", by David Wilcock, but again, no acknowledgment or credit is given to Albert Roy Davis, the scientist who actually made those revolutionary breakthroughs. David Hatcher Childress did give credit to Davis and Rawls on page 10, the entire contents of which came from the above mentioned book, but he surely must have known that Clark was using their work and not crediting them for it because diagram 5 on page 63 is the exact same diagram on page 10, taken from Davis and Rawls' book.

It's interesting to note that torsion fields are said to have either a left handed or a right handed spin, or "torsion". They are also said to have either a pushing or pulling effect in the universe. Is it just another coincidence that Davis and Rawls discovered that North pole magnetism CONTRACTS (attraction) matter, while South pole magnetism EXPANDS (repulsion) matter? In fact, they wrote in "The Magnetic Effect" that the North pole has a pulling effect and the South pole has a pushing effect. So which is it, the chicken or the egg? Are torsion fields the more basic, more important energy? Based on the discoveries of Davis and Rawls the torsion field proponents have it wrong. MAGNETISM is the most basic energy, not torsion fields, nor electricity or gravity for that matter. And the evidence of this is that magnetism/electromagnetism PRODUCES "torsion fields", it isn't the other way around. Of course, those espousing the importance of torsion fields don't mention magnetism too often because the parallels between what they are saying and what Davis and Rawls stated in their books many years earlier would become quite apparent. Walter Rawls has stated that magnetic fields change form, so even if they can't be measured with current technology, they are there nonetheless. Here is a related quote from Rawls. "The search for the ultimate nature of reality has to come from the acceptance and development of the two different controlling energies of magnetism." Magnetism is THE FOUNDATION of physics. Going back to at least the 1970's Davis and Rawls foresaw that the Russians (among many others) would try to take credit for some of their discoveries, they just hadn't yet figured out how. Now we know. They decided to give them a new name and use synonyms to describe them. It's the Russian "torsion physics", or "torsion fields".

To quote Davis and Rawls in their first book, "Gravity is a form of electromagnetic and physical magnetic results." In other words gravity is the RESULT of electromagnetic/magnetic energy, it is NOT a separate form or force of energy. Knowing this, we can see that anti-gravity is truly possible. In describing the center of the broken figure eight in the Bloch Wall, Davis and Rawls wrote "This is the center of the 180 degree phase change. This line indicated by the letter O further indicates that we have no magnetic lines of force that carry either the negative or positive pole effect at this position. Instead, we have a division or zero point of energy radiation."

Davis was well known to the U.S. government as early as the 1940's, for example, he was an aeronautical electronics engineer during World War II when he worked on top secret aircraft. He wrote what was very likely the first scientific paper on the danger of radioactive fallout, in 1946. Congressman Bennett secured the government's acknowledgement in 1962 that Davis was one of the first to recognize the danger. In the 1940's Davis also informed the government that North pole magnetism could be the answer to cancer, which he and Rawls have since proven correct. Prior to meeting Davis, Rawls was an advisor to several U.S. Presidents, he worked with the CIA (he was even offered the position of Deputy Director of the CIA in the Nixon administration, which he declined a few months before Watergate), he was a UN consultant, and last but not least, an attorney. Davis and Rawls were "unofficial" consultants to the United States government on the use of magnetism. Many famous researchers have had a keen interest in their work including Buckminster Fuller (inventor of the geodesic dome), Harold Sherman (whom they worked with on ESP research), Dr. Robert Yerkes (founder of the Yerkes Primate Research Center), and many others.

There are some articles in this book that are worth contemplating. The books by Davis and Rawls though, are ESSENTIAL reading. And their discoveries on how North pole magnetism affects animals and humans are even more exciting, such as the fact that it can extend our lifespans, increase our intelligence, and increase our psychic abilities! I'm interested in Coral Castle too, but you will learn a lot more about magnetism from reading books by Davis and Rawls than you will by reading "Magnetic Current" by Edward Leedskalnin. In addition to their books I highly recommend reading the article titled "The Scope of Biomagnetism", written by Davis and Rawls. It is on the Teslatech.info website. Walter Rawls has described biomagnetics as "the Shangri-La of Nature", and it is!

I was very excited about this purchase, but felt cheated when it finally arrived. I had hoped for a serious, systematic, scientific overview of the World Grid, and was sorely disappointed.

This book contained numerous grammar and punctuation errors, and shoddy images. It is difficult to take any book produced so unprofessionally seriously. If an individual does not attend to such details, how fastidious can they be about their scientific research? I try not to be completely superficial on this count, and have overlooked modest errors in small-press books that cannot afford top notch editing, but this level of incompetence is simply unacceptable.

I gave the book two stars instead of one because it does contain some useful information. For example, it includes a map of the grid as postulated by innovative Russian researchers, and correlates the locations of ancient monuments such as the Pyramids with node points. However, most, if not all, of this information can be unearthed with rudimentary web searches. The book does little more than make a flimsy circumstantial case for the existence of the Earth Grid, and most of the articles seem like drivel or filler.

I think the Earth Grid may exist. I was eventually able to find coherent descriptions that were not absurdly vague and are not the ramblings of lunatics. Not like most of Anti-Gravity and the World Grid, in other words. Books like this are the reason so many esoteric/alternative scientific theories have a bad rap.

One final note. I would exempt some of Bruce Cathie's work from these criticisms. The book contains articles written by different individuals, and Cathie is one of them. Cathie doesn't usually do a very good job of explaining things in laymen's terms, but I believe some of his claims/theories are correct.

The book is a group of essays really on the world grid. Some are good, most are not. I thought the book failed to give a coherent account of the world grid and the demonstrable lack of precise alignments of important ceremonial sites with earth grid points. Besides the grid itself the book also did a very poor job of articulating how the grid might be used.

Aloha - after studying Bucky Fuller geodesic geometry for 25 years, i found AG & WG best explains how cosmic energy works thru our 'crystaline' earth evolving with multi dimensional systems of fractal geometry. David compiles a great collection of new science articles that support further research, i do with astrology, cosmic weather & geospasm of earth-changes. Its the best intro to the multi-energetics secrets that big $cience & military been using for centuries to access & channel earth energy for power controls. We can use eco-energy for positive,
growing, creating & healing functions, when we feel it flowing around us!
Could the geodesic earth-grids be what guides the formation of mountains, canyons, cataclysms, etc? evolving our infinite variety of bioregional terrain, species & cultures that rise & fall with astrological patterns of power. Like the current shifting of Pices/virgo into Aquarius/leo age now opening us up to cosmic consciousness of energy flows thru our earth grids!

I was given this book as a joke, and indeed it is laughable. I've read some ridiculous books in my time, but a greater load of tripe I have never encountered. And the worrying thing is, it's all written in deadly earnest, by borderline lunatics.

So what is this book about? It's a collection of essays by various authors about the 'World Grid', a mysterious grid of lines covering the earth and which are (inevitably) 'energetic' or something. Of course, the various authors don't agree with each other on just where these lines are located or what they are or do, but that doesn't seem to deter them.

The book relates the world grid to phenomena as diverse as anti-gravity, UFOs, the Philadelphia Experiment, acupuncture - I didn't spot crystals or rainbows but maybe I'm mistaken. Of course, this is mixed up with much misunderstood pseudo-science to lend it a veneer of credibility. Disingenously, the celebrated engineer R Buckminster Fuller is repeatedly cited simply because he invented a new cartographic projection (he did grids of lines covering the earth, see? QED!)

The quality of the reasoning in the book is best illustrated by a couple of examples:

The chapter 'International harmony based upon a music of planetary grid systems' presents the theory that political 'harmony' between nations is related to the 'harmony' (geddit?) of musical notes whose wavelength equals the distance between them. As if an extremely low note was resonating between the two nations, or something.

Apart from its patent ludicrousness, fully apparent to any sane reader, this theory raises numerous various questions which the author fails to address. E.g. Which part of the nations in question should the distance be measured from? (The pitch of the 'note' connecting New York and Moscow is very different from that connecting Washington and St Petersburg.) Are some of these individual notes meant to be harmonious and some dissonant? (Doesn't work musically as musical harmony requires more than one note.) What makes the sound wave reflect at each end?

And is she claiming that something is actually making these notes? If so, what? If not, are we meant to play these notes (with some vast foghorn or something), and if so what will then happen? (Actually she does give some advice on this last point: the note F 'represents the distance between Gomel in the Soviet Union and Sebha in Libya. Therefore [sic] the musical sound of F might be accentuated for harmony between these two countries'. Or then again, it might not. Probably not, actually.)

As another example, turn to page 46. Here we have a diagram of the 'Sefirotic Tree of the Kabbalah', which is a presumably ancient and mystical diagram of lines connecting virtues labelled Understanding, Mercy, Beauty etc. Then (inexplicably) we see the same diagram superimposed on a map of Europe and Africa, demonstrating how the lines intersect at various important locations such as Mecca, Rome, etc. Except that they don't. On closer inspection, the lines mostly miss these places and instead intersect in the sea or in the middle of nowhere. Never mind, eh, the theory still holds.

Basically, the authors of this book are extremely unintelligent (being unable to reason their way out of a paper bag), misinformed, and in many cases simply looneys. Buying their book will only encourage them.

Should I need to write anything else as a review?

I have read better con books in my life.
