All the rest is either unknown yet or.. magic :-) It's interesting to google 'mathematics of crop circles' since you find they're almost all based on very complex geometry that also contain musical forms. I'm getting more interested all the time.<br /><br />belette - The more I read about the subject the more fascinating it becomes. The fakes are apparently quite easy to recognize but at the sites of the 'real' circles, the plants and the ground have all been studied for more than 20 years and found to have changed at chemical and atomic structural levels.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-86149814534613078302009-11-18T14:24:15.560-08:002009-11-18T14:24:15.560-08:00I suppose I don't believe in a magic that can ...I suppose I don't believe in a magic that can create crop circles without people. I do believe that people/animals/elements can create things that are read as magical.Actually, our existence is magical so whatever comes out of that is also magical.

What is real...As you ask at the end of the post... What is real? What is art?<br />I ask, what is magic? If we don't have an explanation for something based in science? Sure, I believe in magic, whatever it is. What intrigues me, (and does not make me a believer or a disbeliever), is that the crop circles are recognizable shapes and contours. I've never seen one that isn't a shape that is different than what we know. I wonder if that means anything.<br />The farther I travel on my life's journey, I understand more and more about my connection with nature. I especially think in terms of the wild animals and how they adapt to mankind and the changes in the natural he has come up with. As I look to the universe, it seems all the answers are there. They don't make any sense and aren't understandable on my level, yet they are there.<br /><br />Peace.Spadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-34379847296120096202009-11-17T21:16:47.209-08:002009-11-17T21:16:47.209-08:00i think it would be fun

Maybe it's not always people or aliens; it might just be the planet showing her stuff. I walk a fine line between scepticism and whimsy.<br /><br />lindsay - It's certainly true that all our accomplishments are based in some alternate reality we tap into now and then. I've been interested in physics and quantum mechanics for long enough now that I know we don't see what is but instead we see consensus reality. Even there the magic still appears.<br /><br />lisa - I do too.. at least I try to be open to it :-)<br /><br />nunly - The tree really is extraordinary and I'm sure your granddaughter will be intrigued. I'm glad you watched the video and were as impressed as I was at how intricate they are. You know the stems of the grains are rarely broken. Within a few days it's returned to normal. That's pretty neat.<br /><br />jams - In't she lovely?susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-78356737149005591292009-11-16T14:00:06.289-08:002009-11-16T14:00:06.289-08:00I do love your dryad!I do love your dryad!jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-37476445419014584782009-11-16T10:28:12.062-08:002009-11-16T10:28:12.062-08:00First of all...I absolutely love that tree pic...h...First of all...I absolutely love that tree pic...have to show it to my granddaughter who claims to be an expert on all fairies.

I am highly skeptical about crop patterns which seem to be more the province of the Northern Hemisphere that anywhere else – but if there is an explanation it’s likely to be quite difficult to understand just as quantum mechanics is beyond the reasoning of most of us today. <br />Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-69587704976293704022009-11-15T21:20:29.800-08:002009-11-15T21:20:29.800-08:00i barely understand what i think i know, so it'...i barely understand what i think i know, so it's not surprising to me when i feel less than semi-aware.<br />i'm skeptical of many things, including crop circles and cattle mutilations. <br />i used to be skeptical of global warming, fifteen years ago, but i've changed my mind about that. i'm not skeptical anymore.Seraphinehttp://encoreseraphine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-90094611922265608652009-11-15T11:54:42.605-08:002009-11-15T11:54:42.605-08:00Symbols are the shorthand for our unconscious and ...Symbols are the shorthand for our unconscious and for the cosmic consciousness.<br /><br />That tree is something!Life As I Know It Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733963455243806298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-25922218755561707582009-11-15T11:15:29.343-08:002009-11-15T11:15:29.343-08:00(heart) braja - Perhaps good questions need no ans...(heart) braja - Perhaps good questions need no answers :-) Nice to know you came by to visit.<br /><br />pagan sphinx - I feel the same way which often makes blogging difficult :-)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-727118751210297752009-11-15T10:54:41.728-08:002009-11-15T10:54:41.728-08:00As is my wont, I always have more questions than a...As is my wont, I always have more questions than answers. At the same time, I don't feel a pressing need to answer them all at once, instead to remain always open to the answers as they reveal themselves. <br /><br />I am one who values symbols and images over words. I've become a person of few words.
