If we want to understand the thinking of peoples with different mental lives to our own we have to empathise , where the logic and reasoning comes in is dealing with the dodgy stuff not dealing with the earlier concepts .Whatever may or not be dormant the extreme “I” s , who also tend to be more vociferous have had plenty of opportunity to provide the goods ,they get away with it in religion , new prophets etc starting off their own sects etc , you don't need much evidence for that , but what have they produced in our sphere ?

The problem with 'our sphere' is that we are not equipped to produce the goods are we. We are not privvy to the equipment or authority to excavate to try and prove a point and lack the knowledge if we did. Human behaviour doesn't seem to change much so much of what we surmise or 'feel' is founded on practical ways of looking at things which often seem to be the opposite to other views. Something along those lines anyway :-)

According to themselves the extreme types don't need equipment or authority ,all that is missing is the results . Anybody could have guessed that there might be something worth having a look at at the Ness of Brodgar , amazingly none of the dowsers or seers told us about it .

Punters with can be involved in excavations and field walking , they can actually produce results , it may only be a bit of pot but it is at least real .
Most people have feelings at ancient sites and modern ones too , and they may differ , what's new ?

Me and my friend stood there in 2003 and we both said there's a bigger settlement than the nearby one at Barnhouse here, and just because we didn't say anything to others doesn't make this any less true, some things are meant to be found when the time is right, that's what real seers know, your very clever in one way but this seems to make you a bit lacking in others.

Anybody and their totoise could see and say that , just as there is eventually going to be a big exciting new find from the Stonehenge landscape it's hardly a prediction to suggest that .The point was here was an opportunity for the dowsers etc to actually put into practice what they are always claiming i.e. finding the walls etc , as is always the case they didn't .
