Before we map Singapore, we must understand the mechanics. Watkins noticed that ancient churches, standing stones, holy wells, and hill forts in Britain fell into perfect alignment. He theorized that prehistoric people had surveyed the land using a straight-line navigation system. Later, author John Michell (author of The View Over Atlantis ) co-opted the term for the New Age movement, suggesting these lines were not just roads but conduits of “telluric” (Earth-based) energy.

The focus in Singapore is heavily on the practical application of these lines, using them to understand, or even improve, the "spiritual state" of the urban landscape, rather than merely identifying ancient stone circles.
