Subtle Agroecologies
I was raised therefore with an understanding that all of nature is, at source, a vibrational, interactive intelligence, with our physical, experiential world being a refection and expression of that
vibrational content and tone. My own subsequent experiences, experimentation and observations
have, to date, been consistent with that premise.
This fundamental awareness – of the impact and interaction of our own consciousness, heart and
mind, with the surrounding intelligence of our landscape and environment, has underpinned human
understanding, attitudes and practices in agriculture during 6,500 years of land management.
It seems wise to bring our awareness and focus to a fully contemporary engagement with the
sustaining, benevolent and extraordinarily generous intelligences and life forces that we are in daily
contact and communication with, and on which we rely and depend upon absolutely.
The quantum model includes the inevitable effects of our human observation, attention and
intentions on any given outcome, and so is a good basis for analysing and interpreting the observations of the effects that our ability to interact that our consciousness allows us. Perhaps simple electromagnetism and wave physics, which includes the wave frequencies and waveforms of our own
thoughts and feelings and their effects on other electromagnetic felds, is also richly informative.
Our honest science is tasked with the creation of evolving hypotheses to accommodate all observable phenomena. Perhaps if we can understand the core processes and translate the language of our
traditional agricultural spiritual traditions as being simple and effective applications of consciousness, then we can bridge the span of time, language and belief, and bring the best of all things into
our own contemporary present.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE ‘SPIRIT REALMS’: FROM HUMAN
AND ANGELIC TO ELEMENTAL AND NATURE SPIRITS
Plato tells us that ‘the Gods are Numbers’.
Number expressed in time is music, frequency, wavelength and waveform – number expressed in
space is structure, architecture, physiology.
Each level of intelligence has its own frequency or band of frequencies – in traditional understanding, the deepest are the dragons – the earth meridians – pathways of energy, chi, electromagnetism –
telluric currents. 1
These perhaps are the pathways of current and fow in the sustaining and surrounding planetary toroidal feld 2 – analogous to the meridians of the human acupuncture system, and traditionally worked with
on the earth using needles of stone, wood and metals alongside many other techniques and practices.
Within the stable toroidal magnetic feld, elemental consciousness can establish an experiential,
3D world of elemental form – substance within the realms of earth, water, air and fre – each with
their own dynamic and interactive intelligence.
Within that elemental world, a population of nature spirits flls the environment with spectacular
diversity, creativity and adaptation – shared by we humans, as one of the natural spirits of the ecosystem.
In addressing landscape, it is good to consider the health and vitality, awareness and engagement
of each of these levels of vibration intelligence, and of our connection and engagement with them as
present members of an interactive system.
The stories and refections that follow explore each of these vibrational realms.
UNDERSTANDING DRAGONS/EARTH MERIDIANS
My engagement with holistic environmental practices started with an awareness of geopathic
stress – always perhaps recognised, but brought back to contemporary awareness by the work of
Bavarian water dowser, Baron Gustav Freiherr von Pohl, who published his observations in 1928,
1 A telluric current is an electric current which moves underground or through the sea.
2 In mathematics, a toroid is a surface of revolution with a hole in the middle, like a doughnut.
