ISBN:

PRICE: A$ 25/=
I confess, I have a
bad habit of yellow high lighting documents whenever I find some thing important
or interesting for quick future reference. I read this book few times from cover
to cover and discovered the whole book has become yellow.
Another excellent
feature of this book: the book has been well presented using many small
articles, each 2 to 3 page long. Therefore, when you complete one article
quickly, you are automatically encouraged to read the next. He has used good
number of photographs and sketches for easy explanation. He has used many
valuable phrases from his experience.
David has presented
very difficult aspects of metaphysics in easily understandable way. Some of my
earlier confusion in some area became very clear.
This book is very
useful companion, if you want to be a healer or would like to receive any kind
of spiritual healing from a healer. It will help you to attain a spiritual
receptive state.
My notes for
future reference:

Immediately surrounding our physical body is etheric body,

is not a substitute of medical treatment.

Book Review: Secrets in the Fields,
The Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles, by Freddy Silva
Freddy Silva is one of the dedicated crop-circle researchers. Being a resident
of England, he could actively participate, photograph & enjoy them for many
years. He has discussed in-depth, when, where, what, why & how crop-circles are
formed and has enclosed many colourful photographs of beautiful crop-circles.
Some of recent crop-circles are in 3D. Crop-circles of recent years are so big ,
elegant and complicated that it is humanly impossible to generate them overnight
by hoaxers. It is a must read book for any crop-circle enthusiast. He has also
explained many metaphysical aspects in modern scientific terms . Following
notes from different pages of the book give many clues how to identify a genuine
crop-circle - Here are just a few that I found fascinating!
Watches, pocket
knives, bicycles get magnetised inside a crop-circle. Power from battery
cell get depleted if you place it inside them
Camera electronic
circuit boards get fried if it taken inside a crop-circle. Grains inside
crop-circles get altered DNA. Some times Silver disc hover over the field
before crop-circle formation & luminous orange objects are found to fly at
high speed over field before formation of crop-circle. A dramatic increase
in radiation is very common inside a crop-circle.
