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.
