Secrets in the Fields: The Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles [Paperback]

From the text, crop circles emerge as a highly specific language that naturally unifies the findings and efforts of a diversity of subjects, and specialists. These activating phototonic imprints kick us into a realization of multidimensional intelligences, structures and interests. Their puzzle sounds a shrill trumpet call for greater public awareness and exploration, and this book prepares an answer to the challenge.

Cymatics , ancient prophesies , and ancient languages , electromagnetics, sacred geometry, music , geodetic lines, mathematics , history, science, electronics, meteorology, metaphysics , natural phenomena , dowsing, psychics, and sensitives are all employed in solving the CC mystery.

The story unfolds from deceptively simple glyphs to increasingly complex forms.
Anecdotal stories and accounts, exert a pull that draws the reader right into the back and front stage of a drama that grows and outgrows the forces of conflict and dis-information.

The prose is easy and accompanied by about 38 full colour pictures which tell their own silencing story. There are over 160 black and white pictures and illustrating diagrams through the book.

The investigative work seems to have ferreted out at least one of the sources of the CC mystery.

What makes the book interesting is the wide range of edifying information it packs into its pages.

The story continues to enthrall us as much as it overwhelms our 3D institutions.

There have been several glyphs since 2002 when the book came out. Hopefully, other investigative efforts will at least emulate the standard set here.

 "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... 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 " - Ric Kelly, San Francisco
 
"Were I ever to bump into one of my old science teachers and was asked to recommend a book on the subject [of crop circles] this would have to be it. Sometimes the difference between a great holiday and an average one is down to the local tour guide and the facilities on offer. You get the impression on reading Secrets in the Fields that Freddy Silva would make a great tour guide in the land of crop circles.
The thing I like most about the book is that it seems to be designed and written for those who are not necessarily familiar with the history, the complexities, and the countless theories and explanations that make the crop circle subject what it is - absolutely fascinating. The history reads like a detective story, with Silva leaving no stone unturned in preparing the reader for what lies ahead. Hundreds of interviews, field trips, photographs and diagrams later, you are suddenly invited to take stock of what has thus far been presented, and what conclusions can now be drawn. Silva says that the crop circles remind us that we are not egocentric, but cosmocentric. I just love that. And you will love this book - Kate Miller, Magazine Reviewer

"A masterwork! An excellent job of integrating so many different facets of this complex "mystery" and its relationships to other fields of study." - R.T. Randall

"The result of Silva's research is a book that makes bold to grasp the mystery of the crop circles through the competing methods and worldviews of both science and mysticism. "Secrets of the Fields" is possibly the most comprehensive and graphically beautiful book yet written on the circles, providing the basic information needed to assess various approaches to understanding this complex phenomenon, and more. Extensively referenced, it has the best bibliography of any book on the subject now in print, a testament to Silva's ability to link seemingly disparate fields of inquiry. All of the controversial aspects of the phenomenon are covered in depth: reports of flying balls of light; pathways of energy reported for centuries by dowsers; the relationship of crop circles to underground sources of water; and the remarkable consistency of many circles' geometric patterns with ancient number mysticism, the same principles of harmony and proportion used to build the Parthenon, Chartres cathedral and found throughout classical Islamic art. Silva also provides a fair overview of the research undertaken by scientists and their theories. We learn how the nodes of plant stalks in crop circles are found to have been exploded by heat and pressure, and of the strange energetic qualities of circles that, shortly after appearing, can make electronic equipment malfunction, even stop harvesting combines straight in their tracks, only within the bounds of the circle. To Silva, there is a deep connection between authentic crop circles and music, as sustained tones reveal geometric patterns in standing water. His chapter "Acoustic Alchemy" is the most intriguing in the book. Most of all, Silva is to be credited for taking the risk of discussing the role of human consciousness in the phenomenon, as some circles have apparently appeared in response to questions from people." - Ed Conroy, development director, Southwest School of Art & Craft.
 
"For anyone trying to figure out why our governments and the general media are suppressing information from the public , this book is a masterwork. Crop circles embody a form of communication as old as recorded history and more modern than our current level of science. Mr. Silva and his associates have done an extraordinary job of lifting the veil if ignorance. Easily a five star book! - JFG, St Charles, Illinois

"I have never felt the need to follow up the reading of a book with any correspondence no matter how profound the book, but you just pulled everything together... My husband bought it for me as a gift and he is now reading it, although I read so much out to him he wonders why he needs to bother!" - Madeline Richardson
