Book Description

June 1, 2010

For over fifteen centuries the mysterious crop circles have been mentioned in academic and religious texts. In the 1890s farmers and military personnel witnessed them being created in seconds by tubes of light and other luminosities.

But around 1980 the phenomenon went into overdrive and exploded worldwide, with some10,000 reports spread over 29 countries. A major controversy erupted followed by a pre-designed debunking campaign through the media. But the 80 eyewitness accounts clearly tell another story that a genuine phenomenon is at work. So what are crop circles, why are they here and what is responsible?

This book by veteran researcher and international best-selling author Freddy Silva is the most comprehensive account of the mystery ever published, much of it from personal and hands-on experience.

Written at enormous personal sacrifice, Silva brings you the complete history of the phenomenon, the anomalies that defy the present boundaries of science, and the deliberate official efforts to discredit it and manipulate the public s opinion.

Copiously illustrated with over 400 images and diagrams, he delves into the hard evidence and describes how the designs may be created by sound, plasma and the manipulation of local magnetic fields. He dissects their sacred geometry, their known meanings, hidden messages, connections with ancient symbols, and how they are energetically linked to ancient sacred sites such as Stonehenge and the Giza pyramids.

Ultimately he comes face-to-face with the source of the real crop circles including a photo of a Circle-maker and discovers how the glyphs are associated with the upcoming cycle of earth changes, and how they are working energetically to influence the future direction of human consciousness.

The message in this comprehensive and critically-acclaimed work will surprise and humble you. For the crop circles are a guide to where we have been, and a signpost to where we are headed.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Silva, who has worked in graphic design and advertising for most of his professional life, conveys his keen passion for earth mysticism in this probing examination of crop circles. He examines the history of crop circles, human interactions with them, their probable implications, and, in a section that is alone worth the price of the books for supporters, their effects on our current worldview. Silva also delves deeply into the evidence for crop circles' authenticity. In arguing that they are transhuman events, he discusses the role of electromagnetism and its effects, UFO phenomena and their relation to crop circles, the relationship between crop circles and healing, evidence supporting psychic ability, and language's ability to affect information consciously and subconsciously (this section is sure to stimulate those who suspect that crop circles are a hoax). Readers may be inspired to reexamine preconceived ideas, as Silva's explanations are detailed and well researched and avoid technical jargon. Footnotes and an extensive bibliography encourage further exploration. Recommended for psychic phenomena or metaphysical and New Age collections in public libraries, and for collections including contemporary works on controversies in science and mysticism.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE SPIRAL CONNECTION April 13, 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Browsing in Borders last October, I pulled this book off of the shelf - flipped to the amazing color photos - and was, in turn, literally pulled INTO one of them! This very surprising physical reaction led me straight to the cashier and on a mad dash home to devour the book. I just ordered my 4th copy, to replace the ones I've given away already!!

For me, the true value of Silva's meticulous scholarship lies well beyond the drama of information conspiracies (puzzling and amusing as they may be.) This book is a must for anyone involved in energy / lightwork, IMHO. If you've begun to discover our basic energetic connections to the Earth, simply looking at the pictures will affect your resonance!

Crop Circles weren't really of more-than-passing interest when I encountered "Secrets In The Fields". And, like other reviewers here, Silva's detailed mathematics left me more mystified than edified. BUT so many other bits of the information offered here are immediately relevant to the shifting frequencies around us - and connect sychronistically, on numerous levels, with ALL of the information (re)surfacing now to assist in humankind's evolutionary transition.

Silva doesn't try to ram his own conclusions down the reader's throat - a refreshing approach that lets the information speak for itself. My 'advice'? Buy the book for yourself - show the pictures to everyone you know! There's a primal healing energy here that speaks to the subconscious Self in an ancient, timeless whisper of renewal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Broadens the mind. June 29, 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In the past I've had various crop circle photos and calendars put to me but its never raised much more than an inaudible grunt. But after listening to Silva on Mysteries of the Mind radio, I didn't hesitate in going on-line and getting his book. Regardless if you believe crop circles are made by ET's or not, the consciousness that is behind them is intriguing to say the least. How is it that tests of the soil inside the circles show no moisture yet soil outside the circle does? Why do compasses not work? Why do people feel nauseous and experience time loss inside them? Why does it take the fakers two days instead of the minutes the real ones take to make and even then they still look forged?

In terms of value for money I give Silva's work 5 stars purely because of the depth of material and glossy photos. There are interesting connections made to sacred geometry which after trying to digest Drunvalo Melchideks Flower of Life manuals I found quite useful. But those readers with more advanced knowledge of geometry may find it superfluous, but thats what fingers are for - skipping the bits you might already know.

Personally I'm ambivalent if the maths and geometry formula's don't stack up to what's conventionally accepted. Quantum science at least shows we are energy based beings and our reality reflects our consciousness. Its quite apparent these designs are energetic in nature and hopefully will bypass the rational mind and speak directly to the Spirit.

A very interesting book and I'd also recommend his DVD "Stairways to Heaven".

Regards,
Daniel John Hancock

5.0 out of 5 stars on point October 19, 2003
Format:Paperback
I must recommend this book. Do not let the 'controversy' of said agriglyphs influence your judgement. The proponent explanation is one of extra terrestrial intelligence whereas the skeptic ascribes the phenomona to human hoaxers, but to sit and debate with oneself or others clearly misses the point.

These stigmas are unfortunate.

Indeed, this book is unequivocally the most interesting and awing I've owned. It is not merely about "crop circles" and their stigmas. It is in its essence a spiritual book because the majority of it deals with the meanings, both factual and speculatory, of these phenomenons (I interpret said meanings as spiritual although you may not). Not stuffy, boring maxim type of spirituality but such that it is revealed through advanced (sacred) geometry, allusions to Human DNA, and references to our own primeval cultures.

Any inclination to believe 'where they come from,' in whichever form, is not needed to be awe-struck and moved by this book... in fact, such a preoccupation is completely missing the point.

Freddy Silva is not a charlatan nor does he present his material in such a way. The supposed complexity of any material is no excuse for a simple mind to deride it or its expositor. Ignorance never appologises for the lack of effort involved (wink, wink).
