The Source Field Investigationsby David Wilcock Reviewed by Theresa Welsh In this long rambling march through well-trod paths of alternate history and science, David Wilcock presents a grand theory that the universe is filled with an energy field that is the "source" of everything that exists. This field, which is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum, is instead a field of pure energy that connects everything living and non-living, and creates what the author calls "coherence," a tendency of entities to come into harmony with one another. It operates on its own rules outside mainstream physics and connects two co-existing realities, which the author terms "space-time" and "time-space." UNIVERSAL ENERGY FIELD HAS HAD OTHER PROPONENTS NOT REALLY ABOUT 2012 I doubt that Wilcock got it all right, but he certainly took bold strokes in these pages, and he certainly may have gotten some of it right. I had never heard about the Russian experiments with pyramids that he discusses at length. Somehow, the pyramid shape affects the Source Field in a way that brings beneficial results, including better health, plants that grow bigger, and even a decrease in violent acts by human beings. Objects kept in a pyramid for even a short time seem to have magical powers to affect growth and well-being. Many authors have written about the Earth data built into the Great Pyramid of Giza, but these effects of the pyramid shape on living matter are a startling revelation, at least to me ARE WE LIVING IN A TIME OF CHAOS, BETWEEN WORLD AGES? Mass extinctions appear to be happening in the present time, with animal and plant species disappearing at a rapid rate, yet Wilcock states that the new cycle represented by December 2012 will bring a "Golden Age." He seems to imply this Golden Age is imminent, but that hardly seems to be the case. On the contrary, we are looking at a world where polar bears, pandas and tigers could disappear, and cities could be drowned by rising sea levels due to polar ice melting. Our nation is hopelessly divided on important issues and the world is full of violence and war. Not exactly a picture of coherence. Wilcock presents data from NASA that appear to show climate change happening on all the planets in our solar system, not just on Earth. According to his interpretation, the planets are becoming brighter and more energetic. The sun too is in an active phase. We are just beginning the Age of Aquarius and are at a transition point where our solar system lines up with the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The Mayans marked December 2012 as the end of a world age, but what does that mean for us? RETURN OF A GOLDEN AGE? How does this alignment with the center of our galaxy affect the energy from the Source Field? This energy, according to the author as well as other researchers who have postulated such an energy field, is contained in vortices (like little tornadoes) in the field. When these are more energetic it means more coherence which is supposed to cause greater cooperation and harmony among living organisms, including us. Possibly it affects human consciousness through opening of the pineal gland (found inside the human brain, and long considered by seekers as the connection point with the spiritual body). This may awaken psychic and spiritual faculties we once had as our planet returns to a previous position, when mankind supposedly enjoyed a Golden Age. This book is full of pretty sweeping conclusions. The concept of two co-existing realities, with one being the "spirit world" and the other our own waking reality, is most interesting. Wilcock says these two intersect most strongly at geometrically determined points in the energy field where you reach "zero point." where gravity weakens, then ceases. This means objects lose mass and begin to levitate. And with that, we have a working hypothesis as to how the ancients moved those massive stone blocks found at sites around the globe, like the Giza Plateau in Egypt, Baalbeck in Lebanon and Sacsayhuaman in Peru. Were those monuments built during a prior "energetic" period? Are these sites located at energetic nodes based on the geometry of the universe? Did the ancients learn the secret of making these huge blocks of stone lightweight so they could be floated into position? LESS ABOUT THE MAYANS, PLEASE But, as with Richard Noone's book, 5/5/2000, about the supposed global disaster scheduled for a rare planetary alignment on May 5 of 2000 that was a no-show, I would not assign Wilcock's book to the trash can. I still have Noone's book on my shelf, where it will remain because of the many useful and fascinating facts, illustrations and speculations in its pages. He was wrong about doomsday, as were the many prophets of gloom surrounding the alleged Mayan "prophecies" for December 21, 2012, but there is still value in the research and interviews he did for his book. My own take is that, despite the shortcomings of the man and the failed predictions, David Wilcock has assembled a wealth of sources and ideas that are worth reading. As I made my way through the pages, I kept running into references to other books I have read and other authors and researchers with whom I am familiar. Clearly, Wilcock has covered the major bases of alternative ideas and he pulls together a lot of threads here, creating a big picture of a universe that functions through a field of energy and two intersecting realities. He covers more ground in this book than the average purveyor of doomsday warnings, making this book a keeper for me. There's plenty of ideas here to explore further.
