Secrets In The Fields: The Science And Mysticism Of Crop Circles Kindle Edition

If you've never heard of crop circles (where have you been living? On Mars?) or you've been fascinated by them since the 70s, like me, this book is by far, the most thoroughly researched and well-written book on the market. Originally published in 2002, Freddy Silva delves into the history, the mystery, the links with higher mathematics, sacred geometry, musical harmonics, and the crop science around these incredibly beautiful designs. He shares his own and others' introductions and experience with crop circles over the years as the number of designs increased along with the complexity.I first read this book in 2003 when I discovered it and have read it easily 4 times more since then. The chapters on mathematics originally went over my head; math is not a language I've ever understood well, but Freddy patiently explains the sacred geometry and why it is so amazing and proves that there is an intelligence behind them, even though he openly admits that he, nor anyone else, knows what intelligence that is. He also shares his own awe and spiritual awakening with the reader without beating one over the head or proselytizing. He gives educated guesses and speculates on what may be creating these, but also leaves it open for the reader to make up his or her own mind.The pictures of designs and the geometrical analysis is excellent; you can literally see why most of these could never be hoaxed by human beings. Especially not in the 10 seconds to 20 minutes in which many of them have suddenly appeared, sometimes in plain view of guards and tourists at historic sacred sites in Britain. Freddy does write in depth of the hoaxers claims and also covers the ongoing organized effort to discredit anyone who studies or researches crop circles and then has the audacity to say or write anything about them.I've read nearly all of the other books on crop circles and this is definitely the best. Freddy's tone is both serious and light; his love and admiration of the designs themselves and whoever creates them shines through on every page. I give this book away as gifts every year because it truly is a delightful one!

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

As a photographer, I've always enjoyed the beauty of crop circles, but haven't noticed much about them in mainstream media since the mid 80's, except a blip when the movie "Signs" came out. Thanks to Google's wonderful graphics around the anniversary of the "War of the Worlds", I came across sites with photos of recent crop circles. I've always wondered at the nay-sayers commenting that "9 out of 10 crop circles are hoaxes". So ... what about that other ONE? If it's not a hoax, what on earth is it? Freddy Silva apparently dedicated years of his life (not to mention his marriage) in search of meaning behind these anomalies; this book is a treasure trove of knowledge from a wide variety of scholarly and personal research. I personally know many artists who use the environment as their canvas, yet none could pull off such elaborate patterns in the dark for years on end without someone else discovering them (inadvertently or through boasting) let alone with such finesse as I've seen exemplified in numerous crop formation to date. Regardless, this book contains many thought provoking concepts as to be wonderful for anyone interested in crop circles (historic and modern) as well as music, light study, geometry, philosophy and mysticism. "Secrets in the Fields" portrays a wonderful examination of existence within the vast cosmic dance of light, sound, and the extraordinary beauty abounding on Earth. Buy this book, read it all, and wonder: what do the crop formations imply to you?
