12.3 Ley lines and earth lines
Strictly speaking, a distinction must be made between ley lines and
earth lines. The earth lines make roughly a square grid that we
have just described. They are the ones that have been incriminated
in the genesis of cancer and several other diseases. These earth
lines, which many people call earth-ray lines, are sometimes also
referred to as the Hartmann network or the Hartmann grid.
The ley lines, on the other hand, are also lines of telluric energy,
but of a different nature. They do not make a square grid and
there is much more distance between them: ley lines are
sometimes up to hundreds of kilometres apart. Ley lines are not
noxious to health. They are more like lines of spiritual intensity
all over the planet. Holy places such as Glastonbury or the
cathedral of Chartres for instance, are said to be located on ley
lines.
Yet in practice, many dowsers tend to use the same term, ley line,
for both the ley lines and the earth lines.
In this chapter, we will deal with the earth lines of the Hartmann
network, as they are found everywhere and concern everybody. It
should be understood that there also exist other grids of telluric
lines apart from these; but to simplify things we will not concern
ourselves with them in the beginning.
12.4 What are these lines?
Nobody really knows the exact nature of these lines. The term
‘earth rays’ is misleading: even though the whole phenomenon
appears like a kind of telluric radiation, no actual ‘rays’ have ever
been identified.
On the level of clairvoyance these earth lines do not appear like
lines, but like walls. This could also be deduced from the fact that
a line found on the ground floor of a building will be detected at
the same place on each floor above it.
From the third eye, these walls can be seen as a kind of smoky
energy. The more toxic a line is, the more smoggy, dense and
thick the smoky energy appears to be. For instance, in stormy
weather or around the Full Moon the walls appear significantly
wider and murkier.
The more toxic a line is, the more it gives a nauseous feeling when
tuning into it.
The lines, and especially the most noxious ones, seem to
concentrate negative energies. This effect is maximum at the
