I was alerted to this book by a reference made to it in the manuscript that Suzanne Thomas is preparing for publication in the next little while, called Who’d Have Thought It. As a major portion of her work is a reprint of Colin Bloy’s work, the passing remark about Michael Bentine’s novel having Colin in it sparked my curiosity.
Here is precisely what Michael wrote starting on page 85:
I quickly outlined our dowsing procedures, as they had once been taught me by my friend Colin Bloy of Brighton, a scholarly protagonist of ‘ley’ theories, and added, ‘Every landscape generates its own atmosphere, as we know only too well in the case of the Marsh. Your instincts told you that certain influences had been at work, terrorizing the area. All we had to do was to pinpoint where these actions had affected the ethos of the Levels, to find the negative centres of force.’
My friend hung on every word as I went on, ‘Colin has done some similar research on the Templar sites around south-eastern England. He showed me how these knightly ritual magicians of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries learned to manipulate the ethos by constructing abbeys, fermes, granges and manors, all laid out to precise formulae and using étangs (ditches) and other waterways as their boundaries, to channel the power.
‘Apparently, the Templar system was based on a deep knowledge of earth-magic, and depended on the exact pinpointing of springs, holy wells and other sources of underground water. Their knowledge, which was derived from the “gnosis” of the ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians, Chaldeans, Greeks and Chinese before them, was part of the arcane wisdom. The secrets are contained in the system of “ritual-manipulation” of these subtle forces within the landscape. The art of earth-magic is still very much alive.’
A Novel of the Paranormal

(From the back cover:) The Department of Parapsychology at Wessex University was held in disdain by more conventional faculties, but when a hideous evil reared up from the desolate Romney Marshes, the varied psychic talents of Professor Daniel Fortune and his team were able to fight fire with fire.
But amidst the pattern of desecrated churches and ritually sacrificed animals the hand of a more contemporary evil was discernable. Hard drugs were being smuggled on the marsh. Soon the three academics were pitted against a deadly force that would test their extraordinary abilities to the outer limits…
Meet Michael Bentine

(According to Wikipedia🙂 Michael Bentine, CBE (born Michael James Bentin; 26 January 1922 – 26 November 1996) was an English comedian, comic actor and founding member of the Goons. He was a Peruvian Briton. In 1971, Bentine received the Order of Merit of Peru following his fund-raising work for the 1970 Great Peruvian earthquake.
Of note for our present review was this little tidbit: “Bentine’s subsequent investigation into regulations governing private airfields resulted in his writing a report for Special Branch into the use of personal aircraft in smuggling operations. He fictionalised much of the material in his novel Lords of the Levels.”
In Suzanne’s book, there is a sequence where Colin and Michael enact a ritual at Arthur’s tomb in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey. The information contained therein will make all this ‘stuff’ clearer for the interested reader.
In the meantime, have a laugh or two, watching this video of a children’s programme featuring Michael:
On the eve of the Canadian election in 2015, my wife was at the Fredericton airport, checking her bag, before her flight back to Toronto. Off to one side, she noticed a small gathering of people. The person at the ticket counter told her that they were preparing to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Susan expressed an interest in meeting him, too, and she was told to join the queue.
Long story, short, she got to meet him, and this picture was taken by the Conservative Party photographer.
The next day, Harper lost the election to Justin Trudeau. Did she jinx him?
“Merkabah, also spelled Merkaba, is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. “Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.” {Crystalinks)

Does it not look like our concept of a UFO?
Ezekiel’s Wheel
(From Crystalinks.com) According to the verses in Ezekiel and its attendant commentaries, the analogy of the Merkaba image consists of a chariot made of many angels being driven by the “Likeness of a Man.” Four angels form the basic structure of the chariot. These angels are called the “Chayot”.
The bodies of the “Chayot” are like that of a human being, but each of them had four faces, corresponding to the four directions the chariot can go (north, east south and west). The faces are that of a man, a lion, an ox (later changed to a child or cherub) and an eagle. Since there are four angels and each has four faces, there are a total of 16 faces. Each Chayot angel also has four wings.
Two of these wings spread across the length of the chariot and connected with the wings of the angel on the other side.
This created a sort of ‘box’ of wings that formed the perimeter of the chariot. With the remaining two wings, each angel covered its own body.
Below, but not attached to the feet of the “Chayot” angels are other angels that are shaped like wheels. These wheel angels, which are described as “a wheel inside of a wheel”, are called “Ophannim” – wheels, cycles or ways).
These wheels are not directly under the chariot, but are nearby and along its perimeter much like the wheels of a car. The angel with the face of the man is always on the east side and looks up at the “Likeness of a Man” that drives the chariot. The “Likeness of a Man” sits on a throne made of sapphire.
The Bible later makes mention of a third type of angel found in the Merkaba called “Seraphim” (lit. burning) angels. These angels appear like flashes of fire continuously ascending and descending.
These “Seraphim” angels functioned somewhat like pistons in that they powered the movement of the chariot. In the hierarchy of these angels, “Seraphim” are the highest, that is, closest to God, followed by the “Chayot”, which are followed by the “Ophannim”.
The chariot is in a constant state of motion, and the energy behind this movement runs according to this hierarchy. The movement of the “Ofanim” is controlled by the “Chayot” while the movement of the “Chayot” is controlled by the “Serafim”. The movement of all the angels of the chariot are controlled by the “Likeness of a Man” on the Throne.
Fixed Signs of the Zodiac
The four directions as noted in Astrology are:
Aquarius – the Water-Bearer
Taurus – the Ox
Leo – the Lion
Scorpio – the Scorpion
Scorpio is also called the Eagle, which brings us back to the four faces as listed above. It implies that the ‘wheels within wheels’ are actually astrological patterns formed by aspects between the planets. Here is a chart which demonstrates this:

Conclusion
This image of interlocking triangles has been with us for a long time as the Star of David. Sometimes we need to look for hints in plain sight. Not everything is hidden.
But if you do not have the awareness, the information will remain an enigma.
We all have the ability to access our own light vehicle. In order to do so, we must reconnect with our true being. Light+Spirit+Body = Merkaba.

Its symbol is possibly an emblem representing the phallus, as used in ancient Dionysian mysteries. It is also an emblem of the Sun’s fire, heat or creative energy.
The Sun is in Leo annually from July 23 to August 22. Astrologically and astronomically it is the second thirty-degree arc after the Summer Solstice, marked by the Sun’s passing of the Tropic of Cancer and occupying a position along the Ecliptic from 120° to 150°.
It is the Fixed quality of the Fire element, conferring an internal will motivated by an impulse of the heart. It is positive, fortunate, strong, hoarse, bitter and violent.
