THEORIES ON THE STRUCTURE OF LEY ENERGY
by Rienk Noordhuis

For some years now I have been using the system and theory of ley width and I have found it to be highly consistent and valid. I have been wondering what could be the significance of ley width. I would like to add to the discussion about leys with the suggestions that are following. I suggest that ley width may not only indicate the actual size of the ley but may largely depend on its position in a vertical direction. I would also like to suggest that leys are flattened enormously in the vertical direction, but contain a more dense core with the highest intensity of energy of about 6-8 paces wide. Obviously I have no proof and I only want to add to the discussion.

From reading and experience it became clear to me that important ley centres often have wide leys such as those of twenty paces. Hence, it could be concluded that these are important on a regional, national or even larger scale. My experience of these leys in the landscape is that they give you a sense of space and timelessness, and they run along places of beautiful scenery. Apart from a general sense of well-being, I have not experienced vibrations, that I have sometimes felt on smaller-sized leys, such as those of 6-8 paces.

In Beginnings (by Jim Goddard), overground leys are mentioned as suggested by Tom Graves, and also the ley detector gave various reactions at different heights in buildings. Observing the behaviour of swallows made me believe that overground leys may indeed exist. Flocks of swallows were usually associated with 10-25 pace leys when in the sky. Nesting and sitting swallows were also associated with more narrow leys, e.g., 6-8 paces wide.

The 6-8 pace leys could be the ones closest to ground level with their core -30 to +30 metres below or above ground level. When their core is near the ground it can be felt as vibrations or with the detector. These leys will be good leys on the map because they are related to ground level. 5-4 pace leys (and narrower) are running below the surface making them important to nature spirits as etheric underground tunnels, and to ruminants because they depend on a strong earth influence for good digestion. Leys of 10 pace and wider are completely above ground level and their energy reflects like a shadow on the landscape beneath and it is this shadow that is measured ("sparks" may be spread over a very wide area).

The wider the ley, the rarer. Overground leys then are a fairly unusual phenomenon (could these keep mountain chains together?), and underground leys are innumerable but become more important to us when near the surface. The deeper in the ground the lesser the influence.

The above are only suggestions and I realise that when leys run through hilly country and mountains their width should perhaps vary more than one or two paces (this depends on the distance they are flattened in the vertical plane).

Finally I would like to illustrate my model by proposing a ley that is at its thickest 6-8 paces horizontally with a dense (but flattened) core and stretching over about 180 metres in the vertical plane. I have included doubling at sunrise and sunset for leys that are on or overground. What happens at ley centres? Perhaps the leys cross at different heights through a vertical cone of energy that is receiving and giving away both cosmic and earth energy. This is open for discussion.

Also, the actual width of the ley could vary, of course, as well as its stretching in the vertical direction. Is the ley system and perhaps other systems (such as grid patterns) the "saving work" which keeps the earth together? Weakening it could cause severe disruption.
