The Emerald Modem: A User’s Guide to Earth’s Interactive Energy Body [Paperback]

Richard Leviton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 4, 2004

Twenty years ago, in England, author Richard Leviton “discovered the planet.” Following quite specific guidance, he began a long process that amounted to an apprenticeship. “My mentors dispatched me to various specific locations in the Somerset landscape, and at all hours of the night and day. I sat on hills and valleys and rocks under sunlight, moonlight, rain, snow, and fog, and had visions. I started to see another landscape behind the apparent landscape. It was an apparitional landscape with stars, planets, galaxies, angels, spirits of Nature, mythic deities, divinity.” As time went on, he found himself talking with angels, visiting celestial cities, and following gnomes. He came to understand that at one level we are the planet, and that both we and it have an intimate relationship with our galaxy.

“I found myself living inside the myths of the world as if they were expert scripts for real-life inner adventures. I never once thought I was crazy. Why should I? Quite the opposite. I believed I was finally getting grounded in something real. But it would take me twenty years to make sense of it. That sense is embodied in The Emerald Modem.”

The Emerald Modem includes:

• direct correspondences between human chakras and the Earth's energy features—and the galactic originals
• tables listing locations of sacred sites around the planet where you may experience this relationship
• explanations of world myths, which provide clues to this unsuspected visionary world around us

This is the first book to synthesize all the fragments of geomantic perception (sacred sites, energy points, vertexes, etc.) into a global interactive model that ties human consciousness directly to it. Leviton describes 85 subtle features in the planetary landscape, places you can go for mystical experiences. They are features of the Earth’s energy body, almost all invisible to conventional sight. But psychic cognition can be trained, and you can usefully interact with any of these types of sites today without seeing what you’re doing. Your intent to interact for the benefit of yourself and the planet is all that’s required.

Just as modems dial us into the Internet, so the features of the Earth’s energy body described in The Emerald Modem help us get online with the galaxy. You can learn to visit Grail Castles, experience a Mount Olympus, or walk through the stars in a landscape zodiac—and you can learn enough to become confident that you’re not traveling alone.

I've heard Leviton lecture, he packs his speeches with fascinating information. His books are the same way. He has some extensive and unique knowledge of an area I've been fascinated with for a long time. I wish he'd talked a little more about sacred geometry in ancient temples, it would have added to his book, however his book was one I found fascinating. Not for the light reader, though.

This review is from: The Emerald Modem: A User’s Guide to Earth’s Interactive Energy Body (Paperback)

I've held off reviewing any of Leviton's books on geomancy, as they are very inter-related, and what you say about one, you can generally say of his others. They address an evolving viewpoint of Earth, Gaia, Albion, Adam Kadmon, humans, and other star systems, as being related in an integral cosmic connection and karma. That is profound enough, but where his books excel are in the details.
There are many authors who have written bits and parts about this connection, as it is an emerging understanding - that we are more like a giant organism than separate parts. We are each important, even vital, literally. Leviton shines in the fact he synthesized and connected the dots more extensively than other current writing on the subject. If you are interested in sacred sites, earth energies, and our connection to them; mythology and its relevance for modern life; its meaning and connection to Gaia and our destiny, I would highly recommend starting and ending with Richard Leviton.
Several have commented his books aren't easy, and are somewhat bewildering and dense. It is true - they aren't a light read. But in the end, you'll save much time and energy by reading this series. As I said, many books have bits and pieces of the fascinating puzzle of sacred sites, mythologies, ancient ruins and enigmatic markings. But Leviton synchronizes and makes cohesive these many bewildering parts. I would start with his earlier books and work up to the latest. They do tend to build on each other, even though he attempts to make them stand alone. There is just too much material for one or two books though. And his is an evolving understanding, so by starting with his earlier ones, you can evolve with him. His later ones are more erudite, catalog more sites and energy features, and are more encyclopedic in content. The latest books have the newest research of his investigations, but may not be the best place to start, if you are new to this field. His earlier works establish a ground floor.
He speaks with authority on the meaning of sacred sites, and with a great deal of facility and ease. What he does is not easy to pull off, and great scholars have been wrestling with this subject since the last century, including but not starting with, Joseph Campbell. To tease out the common threads of world myths is very difficult, let alone recombine them into a coherent and plausible system of universal meaning. He has done this very credibly.
The Emerald Modem of the book title is an important feature of the geomantic layout of Earth, and has a counterpart in humans, the connection between them granting access to a larger connection to Gaia and the Cosmos. The understanding of this Emerald Modem is both profound and meaningful. This book in his series focuses on this aspect of visionary geography, yet at the same time connects it to the other subtle energetic aspects of ourselves and the planet.
If you are drawn by a sacred site, if you have concerns about what is happening in the earth, with Gaia, or wonder about UFO sightings or alien visitation, you owe yourself the treat of reading this and any of the others in his geomantic series. All these issues are addressed, and put into a larger picture than merely "Have we been visited?". They are fascinating, and you will come away from it with a perspective that encompasses the earth and beyond. You won't look at the world the same after reading this. I have been drawn to sacred sites and this author's books are the ones which gave me the best understanding, greatest insight and broadest view, without new age rhetoric, inflation, or lack of research. Saying that, his premise goes much further and takes you to an answer which is more mind-blowing, as it treats humanity as a vital, important part of this picture. Highly recommended.

This review is from: The Emerald Modem: A User’s Guide to Earth’s Interactive Energy Body (Paperback)

There must be a nexus of authors out there, all trying hard to communicate an important truth: we are all connected. Read "Modem" and then pick up "The Song of an Emerald Dove" by Xanna Vinson and be prepared to sit back and think about an awful lot....

Richard and Xanna address tghe same truths from very different platforms, both trying to show us the inter-relatedness of all of us and everything about our big blue marble home.

Worth every penny!
