Harness the Elements, Bring Spirit into Power

The hypnotic swish of water spraying out, liquids under pressure, releasing. Tension, release. From a seed of potential, we spring forth and grow, we push up, and through resistance, developing the plot, the structures and colors of the story. There is rising tension, build up, excitement, anticipation, drama, action, crescendo, climax, breakthrough, concrescence, awakening of magick and creation, the full discovery of Self, Spirit, stepping into embodiment -- and in that space, we know, and then relax, let go, sink down, release, and ground this remembering of spirit, into being.

A column of water holds energy, it holds the tension of knowing the mystery of the journey back to source, down to the earth, back to the outbreath, the relaxation and parasympathetic equilibrium, releasing into God. The water flows down, it spiral vortexes around, moving through form its structure reflects the memory of motion, through proportions of force, sequences and patterns, the sacred rocks imparting messages, and wisdom from the powerful elementals of the earth. This great return to source, of releasing into the flow, cascades over us, and the holy water’s healing essence, rejuvenates the open kundalini pathways, for the double helix serpents, to spiral and rise.

A clear cylinder, on a speaker, with a vibrating membrane over the top - how can light, fire, and floating vapor, be integrated? How can we amplify vibration - vibrating membranes, impart waves to the medium around them. The waves from many membranes in a circle, meet, collide, interfere, and create new collective forms, reverberating back, imparting the sounder with new information, which is again fed back.
Sound is color. How can the color of light change according to the sound. How is color responsive to vibration?
How does the size, density, and geometry of particles, vibrating on a membrane affect, the patterns?
How can the cymatic patterns be captured, burnished in stone, frozen into an alter of ecstatic vocal exclamation?
Drawing sound, sculpting sound, shaping sound, building sound, and riding the sound waves.

Acoustic interference: two sources playing the same note. They bounce off each other, creating a wavering, muffling effect. It modulates between loud and quiet as you walk around. It makes you hallucinate an object blocking the sound.

“Not only does music making reveal the first and most palpable filling of the empty form, it also provides direct experiences of the contact between matter and spiritually significant sound, because this sound also sets the body of the singer in perceptible vibration. In wordless song, and in playing musical instruments, primal energies become transparent through matter in the purest conceivable form. Music making is a borderline occurrence between the tangible and the intangible, whereby the intangible is actually produced out the tangible.”

An interval has to go through an acoustic trip from the ear up into the brain and the mind to be interpreted and felt.

Brain coherence unifies diversity.
Amplified sound - voice sent through a megaphone, the sound is concentrated in a given direction and the coupling of its energy to the air optimised. The megaphone matches the acoustic impedance of the voice cords to the air. Narrower horns compensate lower wattage by concentrating sound much sharper than wide horns. The flare rate and the mouth size determine the low frequency limit.

Vedic sounds described in Veda and the Vedic Literature are the fundamental frequencies in their subtlest forms which emerge from the Unified Field, and which structure the individual and the universe.

Findings indicated that at 110 hz the patterns of activity over the prefrontal cortex abruptly shifted, resulting in a relative deactivation of the language center and a temporary switching from left to right-sided dominance related to emotional processing.

How to alter perception? Change the relative sizes of objects in various parts of your visual field. Make objects farther away, smaller, to impart distance illusion.

April 11th: Arrival of deep novelty, unexpectedly, lovingly bursting forth. The visions of simplicity, of power, effective communication at last! Mobile ceremonies, portable temples, emanating ecstatic being, knowing through symbols and theater, at last, the dynamic interaction that is the joy of unfolding the mystery. Creating, seeing and courageously stepping into the fresh robes of destiny.

We exude ceremony, we carry it with us, and at a moment’s notice, we are there, already, in our magickal garments, with our healing tools, and stand firm, holding the ritual space for mystery, unveiling, unfolding, seeing the mystery....

With mirrors reflecting the flickering spirit, dancing, the plants and trees and rocks and beings, waving, the colors rising up, into the clouds of beauty, sacred wisdom, eternal divine. We are pillars, experiments, and we seek joy, through our passion, discovering the vast mysteries within. The visions are clear and they are here, flowing through us now. It is the rhythm, we feel it through our love, the beat of creation, sings through our hearts. We are the geniuses of trance, the Hero’s with the gifts for the way back in and through our being, the visions, creation, and magick flows.

We build holographic temples, the microcosms that are the whole, complete and perfect, archetypal mandalas of perfected being. And through the symbols, the patterns, the light, the drama within the divine imagination, we activate our being, we know deeper -- from within the swirling vortex of unknowing and seeming chaos, we find the dymanic stillness, the powerful center of creation, within our being. The clear hypnotic, effortless flow of feedback information all around us, returns us to the primal cause, the world of light, the mysts of magick, permeates the landscapes of our awakening. We are those central columns and totem poles of being, multi-dimensional, effervescent seeing...

A portable interactive temple, with a tin can spinner, hung from a tripod, with other candles and lanterns hung, spinning, with tin can spinners hung between the tripod legs, and a central metal disk for the magnet figures to dance and move on, and spin around a central candle, throwing light on the hanging mirrors and reflective symbol cut outs.

Temple Brainforming and Researching Out Loud

Pareidolia -- a phenomena involving a seemingly vague or random stimulus, often an image or sound, that is perceived as being significant


Apophenia -- the experience of seeing meaningful patterns or connections in seemingly random or meaningless data


How can we creatively utilize the properties of physics, such as spin, vibration, inertia, oscillation, resonance, and gravity, in an alchemical synthesis with the elements (earth, fire, water, air, wood) to open a dynamically living portal for spirit to speak through?

How can we increase the potential for uncertainty and mystery in our temple environment? How can the sounds, smells, tastes, textures, and visuals in our awareness, first come from worlds beyond, from the unknown chaos of creation, from unmanifest spirit, into this world, as messages that flow through and speak to us?

In essence, how can we combine forces and elements, in ways that allow spirit to easily interact through these mediums? What are the most subtle of forces, that come from uncertain processes, which can be amplified and apprehended?

Communication through Art
Out of the Studio, Into the World
Catalyzing this Energy
Echoing, Feeding Back
A Catatonic Catalization of Kosmic Being

Wireless microphones hang on adjustable arms spinning around a central axis or hanging as a chandalier, spinning, catching the drift, the essence of the soundscape, and reflecting it back to people, amplified through surround speakers.

Any place, any sound, can be enhanced and looped back, carrying us along the journey, to organically build the trance from and through our own being. We are leading the ceremony of our own healing and initiation by stepping into the role of embodying our fullest spirit beings, through magickally, hypnotically guiding ourselves into the sacred ceremony that is arising for us now. As we build the trance, reach into the mystery, and come full circle, we channel this energy and love, into powerful and dynamic performances that co-create and concretize the new pathways through spirit worlds. As we explore the infinite mind, we send our new awareness into tracing out roadmaps, recalling clues, recalling totems, revealing symbols, and developing our astrally aware navigational instruments, rhythmns and melodies to follow back.

A cleansing bath with sacred plants and ceremonial action, intention, sound and light, is a powerful healing gesture. Water steeped in the necessary plants, imparted with healing and upgrading intention through sound, and swirled in a vortex, is poured over an initiate, as they step into their new being -- perfect, whole, present, aware, awake, alive, and rebirthed into spirit.

When many small or large distinct objects reflect or oscillate the light coming through or bouncing off of them, the entire scene can merge into one vibrating, formless, witnessing of the infinite light pulsing through it all. This effect can immerse and bath one’s awareness in the fluttering, flickering, boundary dissolving, and awe in-spire-ing wonder of creation. It says, reality is not this or that, it is all of everything at once. As the wind moves through the trees and spins the mirrors and leaves, reflections of being are seen everywhere. There is a fuzzy warm glow that emanates from this non-dual real-eyez-ation. It envelops one in a world of light.

To help usher in this being that we are, we design a temple space, complete with thrones, to magickally magnify and give sacred power to our words, thoughts, and creations. We are shamanic priests, with royal wisdom to share, and our temples reflect and amplify the magnitude of our vision, and the with the fullness of multi-dimensionally embodied being.

Upper world moon energy of celestial light, heaven in the night, the wispy kosmic spirit light, drum journeys into caverns of the moon, I retrieve the flowing wisdom, see living temples, breathing light. The symmetry of being, ancient winds are blowing, through this landscape of infinity, perfections, divine proportions, and harmony of sight. Feeling the earth beneath my feet, I gaze into the clear spring night, with lunar dreamtime awareness, I yurn for the drum, the journey, the spirit moves me, and in one union of worlds, I drum, I sing, I dance and breathe of the mystery of hypnotic rhythm, by the praises of ancient fire light.

This temple, arena for action, and performance of destiny, of the one perfected God-Self, embodied here and now. We stand tall and proud, beholding the mystery and gazing with our 3rd eye open wide, inward we go, and coming through the light, we know, the single vision, the pure awareness of the heart, radiates through all. Reflections of being, of seeing, vision coming back, through trance ecstacy we find healing, through being. Embody this light, sing it loud and clear, here is magick and novelty for all to hear. Return to the source, through the senses, we feel, connection, used for creation, conscious, divine collaboration, through the ancient ones, the wisdom keepers, seers and healers that we are.

Ancient collective vibrations, emanations of spirit sound, meeting and building, resonating through the vessel of trance-formation, the steam rises, the alchemy of the healing trance, circles and brews, the cauldron of our love, the sonorous rising of our ecstatic being, rippling and waving into seeing, this being, the feeling, of heaven in this now.

Sending vocal vibrations down tubes, into a chamber, with stretched rubber over the top, with sand particles bouncing and forming geometries. A four person tin can telephone, sending voice down the wires, vibrating and light, thin clear disc of quartz crystal sunlight water, bouncing, reflecting and refracting the circles of candle light, through lenses, amplification of light, through shadows of particles and vessels floating and ecstatically vibrating on the water, to project this harmony of form, above and all around, to be mirrored and enjoyed.

Through the awareness of the one energy, the tension of the movement, sensitivity to the pulse of creation, we feel the presence moving through us. Singing, dancing, rattling, emoting ecstatic trance union with the all.

The symmetry of being, activation of seeing, birthing, being. Stirring, bubbling, twinkling with light, dazzling ancient delights. The watery songs of the jungle life, patterns of energy, waving in the night. The trance masters sing their power songs, awakening, communications, journeying through the stars.

We build environments and stages for consciousness. Our creations are lenses to see spirit, footholds to launch worlds into being. A fine tuned temple, lights the way. All night sigils, veils are pierced in the light of day. The clouds burst open wide, sunlight pouring on our faces, waves lapping on our shores, we stand on the earth, we are this land. Jubilation, it’s all true, the spirit dwells in me and you and through it all. Listen as the journey carries you along, flowing on a lotus flower, essence of light.

The temple spires upward, through our being, springing from a seed, rooting in the earth, bursting toward the light, fractal branching through the heavens, celestial wings take flight. Challenges of awareness, meditative reminders, focus and flow, the determination of vision, now see it all go, into the kosmic mystery pot, the cauldron, the ancient brew. The plants they speak, they know.

Syncopated Toning -- When toning vocal sounds toward a waterfall, the air filled with the sound of the rapids creates an interference pattern with the tone you're emitting, and a staccato vibration in the diaphragm is created by the interference pattern of the merging sounds. The effect of toning is greatly amplified in the body when it is directed at the noise of the falling water.

We send a healing tone into the world, and it is reflected back through us. Vibration of air, mixing with water, building a living field. Swirling, a vortex, healing from beyond. Feel the warm waves of light, echo through your being -- feel the pulse of laughter, high fidelity seeing. We tone down a tube, into the water, over the diaphram, exciting the mediums, the breathy channels, forming into patterns, of unity crystal clear, of knowing the source and center, is every when and every where. Synchronized together, the dream dances, and taste the songs of the ancient tribal night. Awakened vision, waves of novelty, plucking the strings of destiny, letting the spirit flow.

Temple of Being: The Activating Catalyst is Here

Image
Through worldly discipline, inner resolve, and genuine love, we have cultivated our consciousness to be open to the fullness of spirit flowing through us. Synchronistically, the opportunity is also here for us to embody awakened presence, through this temple, in the performance of the final ceremonial healings, ritual initiations, and magickal activations of divine being. Image
With clarity and power, the visions are flowing forth, in this auspicious time of manifesting our destinies. Through journeying into spirit, we discover a confidence, a knowing, and a remembering of latent potentials. As the spiral of time tightens toward the in-phi-nite space of ever present creation and dreamtime awareness, we return to the elementals of nature, in our quest to unlock the awareness of ourselves as architects and creators. 
Image
The key components in this immersive sacred space, are the abundant materials all around us, ready for our inventive integration and dynamic play. As we dance with the forces of the uni-verse, we reveal the spirit in matter — we find our sensitivity to that deep essence of creation, reflected in the energetic forms and new technologies of ceremony — as creation is conducted through us, novelty is revealed. 
Image
The great mind-manifesting real-eye-zation, is that we can know the Self, through the world — by engaging the process of perception, of seeing, we unravel the mystery of creation and magick within.
Image
In this One, Eternal Moment, this Temple and Sacred Space, for Channeling, Reflecting, and Real-Eyez-ing the Manifesting Power of In-Spired Vision, is Inaugurated as a Monument, to Honor, Explore, and Embody, the Divine Essence, the Radiant Light, and In-phi-nite Source of Being.
We are that Being. This temple flows through us. It is our Destiny.
