ForewordThe great tragedy of modern times is theexcessive fragmentation of our knowledge.Inundated and confused by fascinating andfrightening bits and pieces, we drift andsuffer because we don't understand who weare, where we are, or why we are. "Existen-tial" bravery in a meaningless universe or"scientific" narrow mindedness in a deaduniverse are poor replacements for a com-prehensive, life-respecting, and sensibleview of our identity, our world, our purpose.

Will Big Science give us the integratedworld view we need? Unfortunately mostscientists are really just technicians,elaborating small fragments of reality. Weneed a "visionary." But most people labeled"visionary" are fanatics who have becomeentranced by some small portion of thewhole and mistakenly blown it up to cosmicproportions. We need the challenges towholeness that come from competentvisionaries, people who have depth as wellas breadth, enlivened by a love for life.

Jose Arguelles is one of that rare breed,the competent visionary. He is master of theverbal arts, yet his vision goes beyond themand is expressed herein by his extraordinaryartistic talents. Any single one of hisholonomic maps can lead the thinking/feel-ing reader to new insights into himself andhis world. That there are fifty holonomicmaps presented is remarkable! I wholehear-tedly recommend this pioneering book toanyone willing to be stimulated and chal-lenged by a marvellous New Age vision ofour Selves, our Earth, our Universe!

Introduction to the Second EditionIt is characteristic of the visionary processthat a book or vision may appear ahead ofits time. In the alembic—the inner alchemi-cal furnace—of the visionary psyche, cer-tain processes may need to be distilledbefore others may congeal. To the everydayconsciousness of the visionary these occur-ences may be unconscious, mysterious orboth. However, the visionary acts accordingto a morality that presses onward despitefull comprehension. This is because theeveryday consciousness of the visionarymay still be anchored to a past version ofthings, while the information being distilledin the alembic of the visionary psyche mayhave its origin in some future or dimension-ally distant point. Indeed, it may be to theadvantage of the information beingprocessed that the everyday consciousnessof the visionary have little inkling of thesource or full meaning of the information heor she may be processing. All that isrequired is fidelity to the pattern or designof the information. In this way purity ofinformation is maintained.

What I am describing is, in retrospect,the process and appearance of EarthAscending: An illustrated Treatise on theLaw Governing Whole Systems, whichpoured forth in a six-month period betweenJanuary and July of 1983. Appearing in printJuly, 1984, it was out of print a year later.Anyone familiar with The Mayan Factor:Path Beyond Technology published in thespring of 1987, will quickly realize that thislatter book actually provides the context forthe former. By giving a complete descrip-tion of the Tzolkin, the Mayan GalacticCalendar Code which is also the key har-

monic informational unit of the Psi Bank orplanet memory field, The Mayan Factor isessential for contexting Earth Ascending.Furthermore, in describing the processesleading up to the critical planetary shift ofHarmonic Convergence, The Mayan Factorhas helped shape that leap in consciousnesswhich now makes a planetary design man-ual like Earth Ascending a must for envision-ing the evolving field of Earth in relation tothe galactic whole.

The reappearance of Earth Ascendingin 1988 fulfills R. Buckminster Fuller's timeframe declared in 1978: that if a design revo-lution were not completed within ten yearsit would be curtains for humanity—and theplanet. It is not only Fuller's Synergetics thatEarth Ascending invites into its design per-spective, but also Walter Russell's wondroustext, The Universal One, as well as JamesLovelock's Gala Hypothesis and RupertSheldrake's A New Science of Life. Weavingbiology and mathematics into a unifiedplanetary model, and bringing the work ofthese thinkers in its wake, Earth Ascendingannounces the manifestation of the newparadigm, the resonant field paradigm.

The first premise of this paradigmasserts that everything is in resonance andthat the primary nature of reality isresonance—vibrational frequency—and notmatter. Thus, the new paradigm transcendsin a stroke the Newtonian atomistic materi-alistic model. As paradigms go, so do waysof life and whole civilizations. If the Newto-nian model helped contribute to a fantasticglobal civilization of materialism and war,the new paradigm will contribute to aninterplanetary civilization of harmony and a

multidimensional metaphysical potentialundreamed of in the old.

The gravest limitation of the Newtonianscience, and the one accounting finally forits self-destructive tendencies, was its exclu-sive, materialistic one-dimensionality. Thenew paradigm will make possible participa-tion in fields of reality long excluded from"normal" consciousness by the unidimen-sional institutionalization of reason. In thisway not only do we witness the return of thesacred to everyday life, but the purificationof habits which have kept us enslaved to amindlessly wasteful lifestyle that has donelittle to elevate us spiritually. As is fastbecoming evident, the relation between ourfall from spiritual realization, our blindacceptance of one-dimensionality, and ourdegradation of the environment, are of awhole piece. Thus, foremost in ourendeavours for the next generation is thepurification and regeneration of the Earth—a collective commitment to an Earthascending.

This leads to the second or holonomicpremise of the resonant field model: thateverything is governed by a single lawwhich accounts for the co-existence of dif-ferent fields, each functioning as a wholesystem reflective of all other whole systems,no matter what scale—or dimension. Fromthis perspective, Earth is the immediatewhole system of which each one of us is ahologram. Of course, each one of us is alsoa hologram of the whole species human-kind, whose totality represents the planet'satmospheric sensory-neural membrane. Inthis understanding we have a primary rever-

IX

sal of the old paradigm view that assertedthe uniqueness of humankind in theuniverse and which at the same timeproclaimed humanity as the supreme rulerof the Earth. From the holonomic perspec-tive of the resonant field model, since intel-ligence is a universal property, humanity isnot unique, and indeed it is Earth, in galac-tic resonance, that is evolving us and not theother way around.

Following the purification of the effectsof the old order, organized as a Campaignfor the Earth, and responding to the sum-mons of the Psi Bank or higher conscious-ness of the planet, humanity will embark onits next mission: preparation of the Earth forgalactic link-up.

It is in light of this mission that EarthAscending appears as a manual and work-book in the ripening field of planetary design.A few clues may be offered. If the planet is ahologram, it both models the solar andgalactic process and yet, in and of itself, isits own completeness. Thus, if the Psi Bankprogram can be seen emanating from itstwo poles, so also can the same program beseen emanating out from its resonant crys-talline core. As a unified resonant field inte-grating electromagnetic, biopsychic, andgravitational circuits of a universal designprinciple, the Earth is in actuality a radioreceiver, transformer, and transmitter. Whatwe refer to as geomancy is the act of balanc-ing the energy received and transmitted atkey points on the planet's surface. Thesooner we understand the reality and impli-cations of this process, the sooner we wil lexpand into a practical management ofspaceship Earth and the rightful re-orderingof society on a natural and galactic basis.

In paying tribute to the pioneers of theresonant field paradigm and in the interestof furthering planetary harmony, I wouldalso like to mention the Soviet contribution.Eleven years before the publication of thefirst edition of Earth Ascending, the Sovietscientist, I. Laptev, published his transforma-tive visionary text, The Planet of Reason.

As Laptev demonstrates, it was not Teil-hard de Chardin who coined the term Noo-sphere, but the little-known French discipleof Henri Bergson, Edouard LeRoi. Nor was itTeilhard de Chardin alone who first under-stood the full implications of theNoosphere—the precursor term for the PsiBank. Soviet biogeologist, V.I. Vernadsky, innumerous works including BiogeochemicalEssays, The Chemical Composition of theBiosphere of the Earth and its Environment,and Introduction to Geohygiene, was, asearly as 1940, using this term so long solelyassociated with Teilhard de Chardin.Indeed, Vernadsky and his pupil Laptevingeniously show how the Marxist dialecticprepares the way for the return of human-kind to a conscious, spiritualized nature—humanity's larger body. As Laptev's lastchapter declares, it is the future of naturethat holds the future of humankind, and notthe other way around.

Used as a workbook side-by-side withThe Mayan Factor, Earth Ascending showsthe universally intelligent design principleoperative throughout our planetary field aswell as in its historic particulars. Thus, inrelation to The Mayan Factor, the historicalphase, "Man Transforms Nature," refers mostspecifically to the 5200-tun/5125-yearGreat Cycle. At the same time, since theEarth Ascending grids are holonomic,

inclusive of other times and dimensions, thereader and user of this text is encouragednot only to find applications for these gridsin the current information and presentlydeveloping psycho-solar technologies, butthrough them, to discover and embrace theexistence of other civilizations includingthe Atlantean and the intragalactic. Estab-lishing as it does the properties of universalresonance as the design constituents of ourplanet in relation to solar-galactic fields,Earth Ascending should also reveal itself asa primer for the creation of those synthesiz-ing and synaesthetic interdimensional com-munication bridges between ourselves andthe star people.

May this new edition of Earth Ascend-ing inspire and evoke the genius of theplanet to sing and to speak its voice throughthose receptive vessels of the human racewhose destiny it is to guide us to the stars!

Offered in the spirit of universal com-passion and unconditional love.

Geomancy is to history, What grammar is to language

Two Introductory Essays

Two Introductory EssaysI. The Rootsof Unity: Geomancyand World Order

By common dictionary definition, geo-mancy refers to a form of divination ororacular demonstration derived from "read-ing" lines or signs of the earth. According tothis popular, if naive, definition, geomancyis akin to those low-level divinatory arts thatinclude palmistry and crystal-ball-gazing.

Yet to read a description of geomancywritten in the ideological turbulence of themid-sixteenth century one might get asomewhat more expanded, if not moreelevated idea. This is what ChristopherCattan had to say about geomancy in 1558:

Geomancy is called Gy a Creek word,which signifieth earth:and Mancie, whichis to say knowledge. Cr defining it moreproperly, it is derived of Gyos and Magos,which signifieth knowedge of earthlythings, by the power of ye superior bodies,of the foure Elements, the seven planets, andof the twelve signs of heaven.

Such a definition is cosmological, tosay the least. And it is undoubtedly due tosome lingering recollection of such a de-scription of geomancy that nineteenth-cen-;ury European thinkers employed the term,to translate the Chinese feng-shui, when itwas first introduced to he currents of West-ern thought.

Though sinologist; have carped at theuse of the term geomancy to describe feng-shui, literally meaning 'winds and waters,"

nevertheless the usage has stuck. As a result,geomancy is now acquiring a potentiallyeven more cosmic, or at least dynamicallyinclusive, definition. Thus, in his study ondivinatory geomancy, Terrestial Astrology(1981), Stephen Skinner cites at least fourmajor applications of the term geomancy.These include forms of divination commonto Arabia, Africa, and Medieval Europe;telluric methods for determining the energyflow; of the natural world, exemplified bythe Chinese science of feng-shui; the leylinetheories associated with the siting ofmegalithic and other notable ancient ar-chitectural monuments; and seismography,the science of predicting earthquakes andother major geological movements andrhythms.

To these one might add three otherappli:ations: atmospheric sciences, ar-chaeoastronomy, and the fundamentalprincples of bio-aesthetics. The first ofthese includes the study of the nature andmutually interacting effects of the atmos-pheric strata from the electromagnetic fieldto the daily weather reports affecting theimmediate biosphere. Archaeoastronomy isthe interdisciplinary study that investigatesthe formative role of astronomy andgeomancy in determining the architecture,urban planning, and artistic expression ofearly civilizations. Finally, bioaestheticsencompasses any and all processes dedi-cated to the harmonic expression of man'srelationship to the environment—in otherwords, the laws governing all modes ofartistic behavior.

It was in 1949 that a Frenchman, ReneBertholet, designated to the whole complex

The daily arcs of the sun in the geographical latitude of Puebla (19° N.L) at the time of thesolstices (June 21 and December 22) and of the equinoxes (March 21 and September 23). Thetimes of sunrise and sunset in the horizon on the days of the solstices define, with zenith andnadir points, the six cardinal directions of Mesoamerica. P: Observer's point.Franz Tichy, Order and Relationship of Space and Time in Mesoamerica: Myth or Reality?From MesoAmerican Sites and World views (Dumbarton Oaks).

of ideas signified by the term geomancy, thecosmically provocative name astrobiology.What Bertholet meant by astrobiology was asystem of thought based on an actual corres-pondence between "the mathematicallyexpressible regimes of the heavens and thebiologically determined rhythms of life onearth."

According to Paul Wheatley in hismonumental Pivot of the Four Quarters: APreliminary Enquiry Into the Origins andCharacter of the Chinese City (1971), it wasprecisely this cosmomagical conception—geomancy/astrobiology—that attended thebirth of the urban revolution and helpedform the order of civilization wherever itappeared around the world.

Following the line of thought suggestedby Bertholet and embellished by Wheatley,Maurice Freedman, in his 1968 presidentialaddress to his colleagues of the Royal Insti-tute of Anthropology, put forth the definitionof geomancy as a "mystical ecology."Pursuing the notion of a subtle nexus ofrelations connecting mind and environ-ment, Steven Bennett, in his 1978 article,"The Chinese Science of Applied Cosmol-ogy," coined the phrase "astroecology."

By the late 1960's geomancy, howevervaguely understood, had joined tai chichuan, acupuncture, and / Ching in givingthe counterculture its Chinese ambience. Infact, it was as "earth acupuncture" that thecountercultural press described feng shui orChinese geomancy. While at first the phrase"earth acupuncture" may conjure up aseemingly fantastic image of the planet as abody analogous to the human body with itsvarious meridians, its circulatory, digestive,

respiratory, skeletal, and neuromuscularsystems, not to mention its sundry "powerpoints," upon further reflection, the analogymay not be so farfetched.

In yet another quarter, in outlining the"Ten Aspects of Knowledge," the traditionalBuddhist scheme for the organization ofhuman intellectual endeavor, T'ai Situ,Rinpoche, in a 1982 seminar, clearly indi-cated the feasibility, as well as the logic, forconsidering the earth in just such a manner.I refer specifically to the second aspect ofknowledge of which he spoke, "Astrology."Defined as the science of clarifying anddetermining the relation of the individual(human) body to the body of the planet, andthe body of the planet to that of the solarsystem, and to that of the universe entire,this view of astrology clearly includes in itwhat we have been defining by the termgeomancy.

Given the foregoing perspective, wecan now more precisely define geomancyas the knowledge of the earth as a planetbody, a complete living organism whoseelemental processes and rhythmic cyclesare intimately connected to our own percep-tual structures and biological functions.

As a science, geomancy describes thestructure and functions of the planet bodyearth in relation to the individual body man,and to the celestial regions, heaven above.Yet as much as geomancy may be referredto as a science, it may also be described as abasis for the practice of art. As we know, sowe act. If we understand the relationshipbetween body, mind, and environment, andif we acknowledge the earth to be a livingorganism, then our efforts at adjusting and

harmonizing ourselves according to thisknowledge will be inherently artful. Definedas the skill of consciously bringing oursenses into harmony with our environ-ment—from the kitchen sink to the starryblaze of night—art naturally falls under thedomain of the geomantic compass.

The astonishing thing in even such abrief consideration of geomancy is that wefind in it the basis for unifying art and sci-ence. Could it also be that the study ofgeomancy could provide the key to under-standing why science and art became in-creasingly separated following the scientificrevolution of the Renaissance? Or to put itanother way: Could it be that in the zeal toassert the superiority of the "new science,"the seventeenth and eighteenth centuryrationalists, in disposing of all that seemedirrational—including geomancy—threwaway the key term for understanding experi-ence as a unified whole? In so doing, notonly did science seem different from, evensuperior to art, but as science becameentrenched, its supporters became indiffer-ent and even opposed to art. On the otherhand, divorced from science, art has seemedto offer less and less to the beneficence ofthe/common good, until we arrive at thesorry state of things as they are today.

Letting these speculations be, at leastfor the moment, we may return to the fortu-nate circumstance of the survival of Chinesegeomancy, feng shui. Through it, we mayenlarge our sensibilities to again perceivethe structure of geomancy as it may pertainto the current planetary crisis. Certainly theorder of the world and the universe remainsfundamentally the same today as it was

sets of correspondences present themselves:heaven, earth, and man; and heaven, earth,and weather.

Accordingly ch'i, the universal life-force or energy, is subdivided into heavench'i, earth ch'i, and weather ch'i. Of theweather ch'i it is written: "Weather ch'i ofwhich there are five mediate betweenheaven and earth much in the same waythat man is midway between heaven andearth," (Skinner, 1982). Like man, theweather ch'i participates or partakes of boththe earth ch'i and the heaven ch'i.

Given this correspondence, it is easy tosee why geomancy may be a supremescience for man. Both man and weather—the changes of the phenomenal worldavailable to our senses—are unified byrevolving about the same axis—the tran-scendent axis alluded to by the phrase"heaven, earth, and man," the self-existingnatural hierarchy of the universe.

Not only in China but in the traditionalpreindustrial West, geomancy, though oftendisputed by Church orthodoxy, held a highposition among the arts and sciences ofman. This is particularly evident, for exam-ple, in the work of one of the last greatsynthesizing philosophers preceding thetriumph of scientific materialism, the seven-teenth-century English physician, RobertFludd. Even by his alias, de Fluctibus, withits connotations of fluidity and dynamicmovement, Fludd allied himself with theunceasing and interpenetrating movement

of forces set in motion by the unifying lawsthat underlie the order of the universe.

Thus it was that Fludd applied himselfto a central study, "Cosmic Meteorology" anatural counterpart to the feng shui of China,with its designations of winds, earthquakes,rainbows, etc., and their correspondencesto psychic conditions and stages of develop-ment. Even more significantly, among hisdiverse cosmic diagrams, one finds thatgeomancy was preeminently placed.

These diagrams include: 1) "The Mirrorof the Whole of Nature and the Image ofArt," 2) "The Liberal Arts," and 3) "TheMicrocosmic Arts." In "The Mirror of theWhole of Nature," among the arts andsciences, geomancy is placed clockwise inthe highest position just above astronomy,adjacent to arithmetic or number. Similarly,in the diagram describing the liberal arts,geomancy finds its place between as-tronomy and music, indicating its role as anart of harmony. Finally, in the diagram of themicrocosmic arts, the psychic aspect ofgeomancy is emphasized by its placementbetween prophecy and the arts of memory.

In all of Fludd's diagrams, geomancy isdesignated by the heraldic design formatdisplaying the binary permutations of theorder sixteen. It was investigation of thegeomantic permutations that also led Fluddinto a study of binary numbers and

mathematics. As an oracular system,whether Chinese, Arabian, European, orAfrican, geomancy is uniquely charac-terized by systems of binary progression.

It is impossible to conclude this briefintroductory essay on the topic of geomancywithout some reflections on the relationbetween geomancy and sacred world-view.

Geomancy ipso facto assumes thesacredness of the world in which we live.Because it posits hierarchical order asself-existing, the sacredness of geomancy isultimately a nontheistic, organically man-ifest, sacredness. This sacred outlook isdemonstrated in the natural simplicity of thegarden and landscape arts to whichgeomancy gave birth in China and thatflowered in Japan, as well.

Thus, the principle of heaven-earth-man underlies even an art as deceptivelysimple as flower arranging. Once we recog-nize and extend this principle, then thearrangement of our total environment, Dothwithin our homes and as the texture of our

civilization, assumes that quality of univer-sal harmony that traditional flower arrang-ing exemplifies. Geomancy is at the root ofall expressions of harmony, and harmonyboth at and science. Yet, without the viewthat the phenomenal world is already sa-cred, there would be no geomancy at all.

The current interest in the study andpractice of geomancy, both in its indigenousfeng-shui form or as a model for unifyingwhole systems, attests to the fact that theneed to experience the world as sacred is agrowing factor in the transformation of thepresent stage of civilization. Surely as weconsider the timeless compass of geomancywe may again begin to see the possibilitiesof the emergence of genuine world order,one based on the inherently harmonizingprinciple of heaven, earth, and man.

II. From Geomancyto Holonomics

The Discovery of the Psi Bank

As a model for unifying art and science andwhole systems in general, in the context ofour natural relationship to the earth and itsenvironment, geomancy—the primordialscience of harmony and orientation—pre-sents itself as a prelude or foundation forayet more refined and all-encompassingdiscipline: holonomics.

First used by George Leonard in TheSilent Pulse (1978) as a term defining entities"in the nature of a hologram," holonomic isa term descriptive of holistic knowing, i.e.,knowing that is simultaneously intuitive andrational, scientific and artistic. Thus,holonomics describes the order of reality aswell as the way we come to know andexpress that order.

Derived from holo-, "whole," and-nomy, "law or principle governing or

pertaining to," holonomy refers to the lawor principle governing whole systems,while holonomics describes the study orinvestigation of this law or principle. As adescriptive term, holonomy ultimatelyrefers to the universe entire as a dynamicinterwoven web, transcending partial oranalytic definition. If the universe isholonomic, the composite subsystems ofthe universe, from atomic to galactic, arealso holonomic. Each level or subsystemcomprises a synthesis or holarchy ("wholeorder") that reflects the order of the totalsystem universe expressible thereforeby a single holonomic model or unit of

information. By contemplating and under-standing this holonomic model one maycome to understand the whole, as well asthe different subsystems, as facets of onemutually interacting, interpenetrating set oforders and operations.

As a way of knowing, holonomic refersto the capacity for self-transcendent knowl-edge. To use the traditional geomanticterminology, this is the knowledge by whichthe subsystem man might come to know themore encompassing system heaven-and-earth. Thus, as a holistic knowing,holonomics depends upon a self-reflectiveconsciousness, a clarity of perception, andan ability to account for and create order—aprocess culminating in the intuitive ap-prehension and expression of the wholesystem of order of which one is a member.

Being holistic, holonomy of necessitybrings into play areas of knowledge hithertoknown as paranormal, supernormal orparapsychological—i.e., the specificallynonrational realm of knowing—which, likethe science of geomancy itself, becamehighly discredited following the eighteenthcentury triumph of materialist science.Hereafter referred to as psi, this aspect ofmind or knowing, like geomancy, is cur-rently in a process of rehabilitation. Thestudy or investigation of psi may accordinglybe defined as psionics. As will soon beevident, the establishment of the holonomicmodel will greatly facilitate the develop-ment of psionics, long under the paralyzingrestrictions of the materialist reductionistparadigm.

Finally, holonomy is the name of the"new science": that which proceeds from

wholes to parts and in which consciousnessand psi factors play a formative role in boththe structure and evolution of the universe,as well as our understanding of this processand our role in it. As the "new science,"holonomics plays a key role in unifying thevarious strands of thought that have comeapart during the grinding war-torn course ofthe twentieth century. As the law governingwhole systems, holonomics accounts notonly for the interrelationships betweenfields in the phenomenal world, but for theinteraction of man with this world—manwith all of his cumulative history, thought,and forms of expression inseparable fromthe planet upon which he finds himself.

For a complete theory of any complex socialphenomenon one requires a full-blownphilosophy of history and theory ofman . . . this will he a nonlinear and wholis-tic interpretation. In that more completestatement two facets will receive furtherelaboration: (1) there will be an organismictheory of the earth as a living entity, withhuman society as a part of the evolving giantcreature; and (2) the radiation belt (or psi-field), the two poles, between them generat-ing the "world sensorium"—the guidingfield which controls the psychosocial evolu-tion of mankind.Oliver ReiserThis Holyest Earth

In considering the provocative but com-prehensive guidelines for a "complete

theory of any complex social phenome-non/' as set forth in this statement by thelate physicist Oliver Reiser, we find thatholonomics fulfills in every respect therequirements of this complete theory. Pro-ceeding from its geomantic roots,holonomics encompasses a full-blownphilosophy of history and theory of man.Being intrinsically holistic, holonomics isnot therefore, only nonlinear, but bestpresentable in a non- or paraverbal mode.

As for the facets requiring further ela-boration, holonomics contains a thoroughlyorganismic theory of the earth as a livingentity, with human society as a part of the"evolving giant creature." This understand-ing is contained in the geomantic equationheaven, earth, and man, as well as in thehermetic dictum, "as above so below/" bywhich it is understood that the macrocosmis reflected in the microcosm and vice versa.Anyone familiar with the holographicparadigm will understand this, i.e., thatinherent in the hoof of the horse is not justthe model for other hooves, but for thewhole horse as well.

Second—and this is the most provoca-tive aspect of Reiser's requirements for anintegral, unified theory—we find thatholonomics also contains as thorough andcomplete an exposition of the radiation beltor psi field, the two poles or binary elementsof which generate between them the "worldsensorium," what Reiser refers to as "theguiding field controlling the psychosocialevolution of mankind."

As we have seen, modern historians, intheir attempts to understand and explaingeomancy, have resorted to terms like

astrobiology, mystical ecology, and as-troecology. All of these terms have implicitin then some idea of a terrestrial psi field bywhich the human mind and the environ-ment are connected and can actually oper-ate in harmony. In the geomantic paradigm,of course, there is no question that the earthis a living entity of which man is an insepara-ble member. From this it allows that thereason there could be a system of astrobio-logy a mystical ecology is precisely be-cause the organism—man—provides thegrounding and means of expression foraunitary planetary mind or consciousness—Reisers psi field.

Several years before Reiser was explor-ing and defining the nature of the psi field, acontemporary and compatriot of Berth-olet—paleontologist and Catholic mysticPierre Teilhard de Chardin—was also usingthe term astrobiology. In the case of Teilhardde Chardin, the use of this phrase was inreference to his since-then highly toutedword—the noosphere.

Defined by Teilhard de Chardin himselfas " . . . the thinking layer formed by thespreading of the human groupabove(and discontinuously with) the bio-sphere," the noosphere also refers to the"probable place and disposition of thethinking element throughout the universe."Thus, given the universality of mind or thethinking element, according to de Chardin,"planets with noosphere, far from being acuriosity in nature, would quite simply bethe normal and ultimate product of mattercarried to its completion.'

Teilhard de Chardin's supposition ofthe noosphere, an "additional envelope

thrown like a very thin but superactive flowall round the earth," marked a highly signifi-cant, yet logical development in Westernevoutionary theory. What it pointed to wasthe recognition both of mind and man as acritical factor in the development of a planetlike the earth. Indeed one of the conclusionsto be drawn from the existence of the noos-phere refined stage of biogeologi-cal history is the corollary of man as theorganismic means providing for a planetiza-tion of consciousness. As Teilhard de Char-din makes clear, the manifestation of thenoosphere is dependent upon the appear-ance of man as a self-reflective being uponthis planet. Thus he wrote:

In fact with the sapiens type (I was goingsay bread) at last found, the noospherebegins for once and for all to be woven; .anoosphere still loose, of course, but onewhich we already recognize the strongenvelope of thought in which we existtoday: that of humanity finally joined to-gether at all its edges and traversed by anetwork of links which, latterly becomingaerial and ethereal, more and more literallypresent, in the immensity of their organismthe image of a nervous system.

From this highly pregnant description of thenoosphere, Teilhard de Chardin could goon to speak futuristically of' " . . . a geo-technology extending a closely interdepen-dent network of its enterprises over thewhole earth . .. "

Teilhard de Chardin was a genuinepioneer in articulating the concept andreality of the noosphere, a concept and areality whose implications have extensiveand devastating ramifications for thematerialist foundations and nationalisticintentions of the ate industrial world. How-ever, given the explosion of knowledge,information, and politics that has occurredsince Teilhard de Chardinrs death in 1955,his description of the noosphere is basicallyembryonic.

It was Oliver Reiser, longtime physicistat the University of Pittsburgh, who was tosynthesize more recent developments ofscience into the fundamentally sound butundeveloped structure of the noosphere.What Reiser ended up calling the psi field(1966), the equivalent of de Chardin'snoosphere, integrated two basic scientificbreakthroughs into the terrestrial mentalenvelope: the Van Allen radiation belts, andthe genetic code with its binary double helixsystem. The former, consisting of two"belts"—a heavy proton inner belt andlighter electron outer belt, straddling theearth at two and eleven thousand milesrespectively—functions as both a shield andas an electromagnetic membrane recharg-ing and recirculating the atmosphere of theearth. DNA, of course, has proven to be thedecipherable code common to all livingorganisms, from protozoa to protean man.

Both the genetic code and the radiationbolls wore "discovered" in 1 953. WhatReiser did was posit the noosphere or psifield is functioning in conjunction with theradiation belts, and, like DNA, operating in adouble helix manner. He further envisioned

cerebral cortex, the two hemispheres ofwhich somehow corresponded to the twohalves of the brain in man and their corre-sponding functions, as well as to the twohemispheres of Western (rational) andEastern (intuitive) thought.

There is no question that Reiser's daringassertion of a relationship between the VanAllen radiation belts, the DNA double-helixbinary movement, and the split-brain ana-logy connecting universal humanneurophysiology, the hemispheres of theplanet, and the bipolar psi field, was anamazing step in giving further elaborationand substance to Teilhard de Chardin's"super-active film," the noosphere. Point-ing further to the actuality of a planet mind,with the obvious implication that humanitycomprises a single organism, was Reiser'ssuggestion of a complementarity of thoughtby which the intuitive systems of the "East"and the rational systems of the West com-prise a global totality, two sides of the globalbrain, as it were.

Finally, we should note Reiser's notionof the "world-sensorium," the controllingmechanism of the psychosocial evolution ofmankind. From this functional descriptionof the noosphere or the psi field we mayinfer the existence of a much larger evolu-tionary mechanism: a morphogeneticmoderating factor that, because it is reson-antly keyed into the whole process of theplanet as a living system, may accurately bedescribed as a holonomic recollectionprocess. By holonomic recollection processwe mean not only a resonantly form-generating (morphogenetic) matrix, but alsoa purposive mechanism of adjustment and

regulation based on the inherent needs ofthe planet as whole evolving system—ofwhich man is but a member.

Meanwhile, while Reiser was providingfurther levels of refinement to Teilhard deChardin's noosphere (1966-74), a Germanphilosopher Martin Schonberger publishedThe Hidden Key to Life (1973). The pivotand sensational summation of Schon-berger's book was the discovery of theabsolute one-to-one equation of the sixty-four kua, or hexagrams, of the ancientChinese system / Ching, and the sixty-fourDNA codons of the genetic code. Schon-berger's discovery that / Ching and thesixty-four DNA codons are exactly the samewhen written in binary order provided thetopic of the funeral address given by Carl G.Jung in honor of the great German translatorof / Ching, Richard Wilhelm.

"It can't remain in the dark forever,"declared the eminent psychologist of thearchetypal unconscious, "that we are touch-ing here on an Archimedean principle, withthe help of which our occidental thinkingcould be unhinged." Indeed, in Schon-berger's estimation, "that is precisely whathappened by the manifestation of / Chingcode in genetic code."

Thus, in the exact binary equivalencebetween / Ching and the genetic code,Reiser's idea of a global brain distinguishedby complementarity between Eastern andWestern modes of thought found an unex-pected yet highly convincing vindication.

From the provocative but vague notions ofastrobiology and mystical ecology to thenoosphere and the psi field, finally emergedwhat can be referred to as the discovery ofthe psi bank: a planetary information storageand retrieval system whose primary functionof holonomic recollection operates ormanifests through the simplest code imagi-nable: the binary code.

Based on a twofold on-off, positive-negative division of whatever form or pro-cess it is operative in, the binary code notonly underlies the code of life—the geneticcode—but all electrical, electromagnetic,and neurological functions as well. Thesebinary operations range from the move-ments of sunspots (which regulate theearth's magnetic field and the appearanceof the aurorae) to the synaptic leaps ofneuron information processing as well asthe programming of computers and, mostminutely, to the factors governing the stabil-ity of atomic structure in terms of the i nterac-tion of electrons and protons. That an an-cient system like / Ching, which figures soprominently in the geomantic systems of theFar East, is also based on a binary operationindistinguishable from the genetic code,also points to the binary nature of the mostprimordial functions of the human psyche.

That all of these binary operationsfigure in the composite description of the psibank only gives further weight and sub-stance to the conceptualization of the psibank as a holonomic mind or brain giving atthis point in time an actual conscious direc-tion and purpose to the evolution of theplanet.

Furthermore, as evidenced by the

separate-in-time but identical-in-structurebinary read-outs of / Ching and geneticcodes, the psi bank obviously functions as aphenomenally simple yet all-encompassinginformation storage and retrieval system, aholonomic or planet brain. Thus, givenwhat we now know of the psi bank as acreatively evolving data-base, the nature ofwhich seems to manifest itself the moreglobal or comprehensive we make our owncollective intelligence or view of things, weshould also be able to construct a moreaccurate read-out of history.

This read-out—by nature, global andholonomic—would provide us with notonly an ideologically sanitized nonsectarianguide too our psychosocial evolution as it hasdeveloped thus far, but also with a gaugeand map of our future as well. In this way,the psi bank presents a full-blownphilosophy of the history and theory of man,while providing a completely nonlinear,holistic interpretation of man's relationshipto the organismic unfolding of planet earthas a conscious member of the universe.

In addition, because it is holonomic innature and function, the psi bank should befound to operate on the same model thatgoverns the operations of all systems in theuniverse, from the atomic to the galactic. Infact, as the very key to understanding theholonomic process of the intelligentlyevolving structure and purpose of this plan-et, we should be able to find woven into thepsi bank the binary configuration that un-locks the primary holonomic model—thatmodel upon which all dynamic and organicsystems and levels of understanding, fromthe micro-to the macro-, are based.

The Search for History

In discussing the discovery of the psi bank, itis important to keep in mind that, like manysuch discoveries, this one was largely unin-tentional. This fact is of tremendous impor-tance, for such a phenomenon as the psibank would have little meaning if it weremerely the invention or contrivance of asingle human being. The fact of the matter isthat the psi bank is "uninvented," or beyondinvention. Its discovery, however, couldonly have come about through the varioussearches for truth which have always il-lumined the seemingly blind course ofcollective human existence with the visibletracers of genuine seeking.

It is with the sole intention of sheddinglight on the mysterious and unexpectedworkings of the total holonomic recollectionprocess that expose the manner in which Imyself stumbled upon the wondrousphenomenon of the psi bank. Indeed, inretrospect, the beginning point of my searchmay be of more significance than the searchitself, for in that beginning point, like aninvisible flaw in a plate of glass—so insig-nificant at first—lies the whole secret.

For me, that beginning point was rootedin a resolute dissatisfaction with themethodology of the academic discipline ofthe history of art. So profound was mydissatisfaction that I felt that the only remedywas to try to discover a more just and com-prehensive approach. The crux of the prob-lem, as I saw it in the fall of 1 1969, was to be

found in the fact that all art historytextbooks, and hence all art history coursestaught in this country (and Europe as well),presumed that the high point of and eventhe reason for the history of art occurred inthe European Renaissance. To correct thisbias, I endeavored to establish a methodo-logy that was genuinely global. In the courseof attempting to do that, I slowly realizedthat I had seized upon a thread that un-raveled not only the methodology of arthistory, but the entire tapestry of Westernhumanistic and scientific thought as it hadbeen woven at least since the time of theRenaissance.

While my positive pursuit in the pastfourteen years had been to educate myselfabout aesthetic systems, philosophies, andthe artistic histories of the major civiliza-tional regions, cultural episodes, andspiritual traditions of the various peoples ofthe world, in so doing I had inadvertentlyfound myself pushing against a barrier ofresistance. In my efforts to put together avolume describing whatever method I hadcome across, two obstacles confronted me;the one of my own making, the other of ahardened institutional nature. The formerobstacle was inherent in what I had attemp-ted to do—that is, present both a globalmethod for understanding the history of artand at the same time an actual history ofworld art that was genuinely global. Thisdouble task was herculean, not to mentionencyclopedic, and certainly not within theprovince of a single human being to ac-complish, at least not with any hope of doing

justice to the scope of it.The other obstacle, the institutional

factor, kept impressing me with the fact thatnot only was I a Don Quixote tilting atwindmills, but that the educational systemitself was so hardened that it was incapableof accepting the challenge posed by myefforts. This is understandable, for from theestablished educational system's point ofview, what I was attempting to communi-cate would ultimately have spelled thatsystem's death.

Despite such psychosocial hazards, Imanaged to remain constant to the thread Ihad begun to unravel, for it was precisely inthe course of following that thread—as wellas the pressure I experienced in my pur-suit—that I stumbled upon some of thecomponents essential to the structure andfunction of the psi bank.

It may be helpful to review here someof these components, since they may notnecessarily be familiar to many present-dayeducated people. The three principle com-ponents include: / Ching or the Book ofChanges; the Sacred Calendar of ancientMesoamerica known as the Tzolkin amongthe Maya and the Tonalpohualli among theAztecs; and the resonant field model ofCharles Henry.

/ Ching or Book of Changes is undoubt-edly the most widely known of these threeprinciple factors. Based on the binary systemof broken (yin, negative) and unbroken(yang, positive) lines, / Ching has assumedgreat popularity as a book of divination. Thedivinatory aspects of / Ching, however, aspopular and perhaps even debased as theymay be, obscure for the most part the actualnature and structure of this text, which is notreally a book.

As we have already pointed out, as a

binary structure I Ching is a system no

different from the genetic code. Because of

this equivalency, we can say it is only an

accident -- perhaps a cosmic accident, but

an accident no less - that I Ching isconsi-

dered Chinese. I Ching is no more Chinese

than electricity is American because Ben

Franklin or Thomas Edison were pioneers in

the unde rs tand ing o f i t s use . Based on

binary permutations of eight primary tripletstructures, thus yielding a total of sixty-foursix-lined structures, kua, or hexagrams, /Ching may be considered to be the code ofbiopsychic transformation, much as theDNA codons are the code of more purelybiological transformations. Finally, the useof / Ching solely for personal divinatorypurposes is somewhat like using electricityonly for the provision of light.

The Tzolkin, Tonalpohualli, or SacredCalendar of ancient Mesoamerica has longbaffled archeologists, scholars, and histo-rians in general for the simple reason that asa calendar it operates on a 260-day cycle.The permutations of this cycle are broughtabout through the combinations of thirteennumbers—one through thirteen—andtwenty symbols, thus yielding 260 pos-sibilities. This perpetually repeating "calen-dar" was found to mesh with the solarcalendar every 52 years and with solar andVenusian cycles every 104 years.In general, the sacred calendar playeda highly significant role in both the everydaylife and high cultural affairs oof ancient

Mesoamerican civilization, from its incep-tion some three thousand years ago to itshistorically dramatic demise less than fivehundred years ago. Most enigmatic aboutthis perfect form of permutations was thatno known organic terrestrial cycle could befound to which the 260-day cycle had acorrespondence. Hence the questions:Whence came this 260-day calendar? Whodevised it? Why? When?

As shall be seen, the Tzolkin, like /Ching, is ultimately uninvented. Its prove-nance in the Mesoamerican heartland is asmuch a cosmic accident as that of / Ching inChina. One further word concerning theTzolkin or, at least, the Mayan system ofnumerical notation. This system, based on adot and bar notation, is highly efficient. It isalso vigesimal—based on counting bytwenties as opposed to decimal, countingby tens. The dots are units, the bars equalfives. The figures are computed from bottomto top. Place is indicated by awhich signifies zero. I have used this systemof notation in the presentation of the Tzolkinbecause of its abstract purity and its obvi-ously binary nature. Furthermore, by em-ploying the dot-and-bar notation system inthe presentation of the Tzolkin, the patternof pulsations is much more immediatelyapprehended. This is important, consideringthe relation of the Tzolkin to the binarysunspot cycles.

Finally, there is the resonant fieldmodel of the French scientist, mathemati-cian, and philosopher, Charles Henry(1859-1926). First presented in his sum-marizing opus, Generalization of the Theoryof Radiant Energy (1924), Henry's intention

in presenting this spherical model was toindicate a condition of dynamic equilibriumotherwise known as the "atom of life,"consisting of three intersecting fields ofresonance: the electromagnetic, the gravita-tional, and the biopsychic.

Although I had come upon this modelin 1967, it was not until late 1982 that Ifinally understood that it was not meant tobe the model of a particular atom or ofatomic structure, but of the three primaryresonant fields by which our experience ofreality may be defined. To the elec-tromagnetic field corresponds the heaven ofthe ancient oriental geomantic equation;this is the world of the senses, as well as allthe sensations comprising our experience ofthe phenomenal world. To the gravitationalfield corresponds the organic grounding ofour evolving terrestrial-physical experience,otherwise known as the earth factor of thegeomantic equation. Finally, to the bio-psychic field corresponds the DNA-origi-nated aspect of man, both biological or-ganism and self-reflective mind, knowerand joiner of heaven and earth.

The important point in this model isthat the three fields are mutually resonant:they do not exist apart from each other.Though the resonant field model resemblesthe common model of atomic structure, inreality it is the model of atomic structure thatis derived from the prototypical field modelwhich I variously came to term the "primarymodel of the holonomic topocosm," or the"primary holonomic unit of information."As I was to learn, this model itself is a three-dimensional representation of the binarytriplet configuration, the basic code figure

itself by which all other phenomena andexperiences are sewn together.

I mention these three componentsbecause I had been separately familiar witheach of them since I had initiated my searchin 1969. Yet it had never been my intentionto marry them, merge them, or in any othermanner try to piece them together as parts ofone whole. Rather, it was only under ex-treme pressure that these three seeminglydisparate systems suddenly began to appearunder a common, unifying light, and thenonly as I began to piece together a muchlarger puzzle—that of history.

This brings us back to the beginning ofmy search, that of an historian of art inpursuit of a global method. In my wander-ings through time, I came to see that theartistic expression of a people was insepara-ble from their world-view, and that beneaththe bewildering array of names, styles, andcultures there lay a common psychoculturalroot and civilizational structure. While thecosmomagical attitude of shamanism pro-vides the common psychocultural root ofhuman social development, it is the univer-sally perceived and expressed correspon-dence between mathematical heaven andbiological earth that invested the emergenceof the seven pristine streams of civilizationwith a common geomantic world-view andhieratic structure.

The term pristine has been used withincreasing frequency to describe thosecivilizations which appear to have emergedand developed quite independent of each

OTHER. Those include: Egypt (Nilotic),Mesopotamia, India, China, Mesoamerica,Andean (Peru), and lastly, Nigeria (WestAfrica). Overtime, geography has conspiredwith cultural isolation and elitism to pro-duce ideological strands which, to thosepeople whom these strands possessed,seemed altogether unique and absolute. Inreality, the seven pristine threads of civiliza-tion, though assuming hues of local geo-graphical color, are variations of a commonglobal phenomenon.

Emerging at different points in time, asa whole the pristine streams comprise ageochronological totality, unfolding as thehieratic octave of civilization. While theybuilt on different economic and ecologicalbases, the overall sensibility and forms ofexpression of these pristine streams aremarked by a uniformly shared degree ofsophistication. What is most compelling,however, are the many common artistic oriconographical similarities that deeply unifythe otherwise often geographically andchronologically disparate streams of pristinecivilization. It was the effort to find a com-mon underlying principle and cause for thesimilar forms, symbols, and techniques ofexpression in these widely separatedgeocultural zones that led me increasinglyto considerations of a mental or psychicmedium of diffusion.

If civilization were a unitary function ofglobal unfolding, and humanity in reality asingle organism, then the underlying causeand principle for the diffusion of commonideas, motifs, and symbols would be in thenormal course of events and would notnecessarily depend on material diffusion.

Confirming this organismic approach wasthe advent of a common third stage ofhuman psychocultural development en-compassing the rise of the cosmopolitanreligions—Buddhism, Christianity, andIslam—and the consequent creation of themedieval world.

Though rooted in the preceding latehieratic imperial social structures, themedieval societies and their motivatingspiritual forces also shared much in com-mon. More important, the cosmopolitanreligions served to increase the tendency ofhumanity toward expanded common basesof communication. That the forms of artisticexpression developed by the spiritual forcesof the medieval world continued to possessmany common qualities and characteristics,again not necessarily explicable by meansof material diffusion, continued to point to auniversal mental factor operating throughand yet beyond the structures of civilization.

Whatever common aesthetic, spiritual,or cultural language was being forged in themedieval world was swiftly undone with therise of the fourth stage of psychoculturaldevelopment, the global-industrial. In fact,the relentless triumph of materialist scienceand industrial technology seemed to havethe effect, through the rise of a "publiceducation" based on pragmatic literacy andeconomic efficiency, of creating an almostuniversal condition of holonomic am-nesia—a forgetful ness not only of the wholenature of things but of the greater commonpurpose. It is this factor—holonomic am-nesia—more than any other that I foundinstitutionalized in the teaching andmethodology of history, artistic or other-

wise. Instead of creating a global perspec-tive, these ethnocentric ideological forcesstruggled with and combated each othernot only in the academic arena, but unfortu-nately also on the world stage as welI.

What the condition of holonomicamnesia amounted to, with its patriotisms,racial bigotry, and ideological chauvinismsof every kind—dominated by an unbendingallegiance to and faith in the alleged prob-lem-solving power of materialist science—was a destructive prohibition against seeingthe wholeness and unity that is at the root ofall things human—and indeed, of all thingsglobal.

Nonetheless, though the global-indus-trial world had fractured and splintered theancient traditions of thought and culture, ithad at the same time created the conditionsfor that global nervous system of whichTeilhard de Chardin wrote, and whichMarshal McLuhan dubbed the global vil-lage. For indeed electronic communicationshave now brought all of humanity to acondition that, for all of its chaotic fragmen-tation and nuclear foreboding, possessesthe characteristics of a new aboriginalcommon ground.

The global-historical model that beganto emerge from my intensive investigationsof the artistic development of the world wasactually a rather elementary one Its essen-tials can be stated in the following manner:history as we know it and as it affects us islargely coincident with and actually afunction of the present geological era—theHolocene—which dates back scarcely

more than 12,000 years. The preceding latePleistocene era could be referred to as theaboriginally emergent breeding ground ofhuman culture. Civilization itself, however,may be viewed as the unique geologicalunfolding and most distinguishing charac-teristic of the Holocene era.

Given the psychogeological perspec-tive, human historical development haspassed through a four-stage planetary pro-cess: a primary, preliterate, cosmomagicalaboriginal stage; a hieratic stage—civiliza-tion proper, manifest as seven graduallyexpanding streams; a spiritually renewedstage of culturally transcendent religiousactivity—the cosmopolitan medieval era;and the fourth stage, the current global-in-dustrial. Assuming that nuclear holocaust isnot our destiny, it is necessary to envision afilth or future stage of genuinely globaldevelopment.

As my work proceeded with ever-greater accumulation of information, visualmodels began to present themselves inorder to synthesize and simplify the data.I hose models, based on the spherical formof the earth as seen over a great period oftime, i.e., the Holocene era, came increas-lgly to fashion themselves into a geomanticdescription of human planetary experience.The visual process naturally called into playformulation of a kind of archetypal transmis-sion bell straddling the globe, a primitiveversion of the psi bank.

However, it was the rediscovery of theresonant field model of Charles Henry, theprimary atom of life viewed as the earth andits electromagnetic field, that catalyzed a

more definitive description of holonomics

and the psi bank itself. The results of thatdescriptive investigation comprise the coreof this presentation.

If our purpose in this brief narrative of aparticular quest has been to shed light onthe mysterious and unexpected workings ofthe holonomic recollection process, thenthe only thing to add at this point concernsthe role of art and artistic thinking. All alongin my search I had been acutely aware of theterrible discrepancy between the lack ofsignificance assigned to artistic activity inthe present, fourth, stage, and the formativerole it played in all of the preceding stages.Never had the role and purpose of artseemed more diminished and degradedthan in the present era. This being the case,perhaps the very nature of coming to termswith holonomics will naturally arouse in usthe awareness of the high priority that artmust be given in the dawning fifth stage ofglobal civilization.

The Holonomic Equation:Art, Science, and Sacred Order

An equation represents a process of differentparts balancing each other, thereby creatingan equilibrium. To define the totality ofhuman experience—the phenomenal worldinseparable from our senses, not to mentionthe history we have made of that world—asa holonomic equation, implies a process ofvarious cumulative stages finally balancingeach other. The shifting contents and ac-tivities of these stages provide the dynamicvariables of the equation. Such an equationwould be at least the prelude to, if not thedescriptive outline of, a unified theory of

human experience. To be completely un-ified, no field theory deserving the namecan be of a whole piece without taking intoaccount the totality of human history andexperience that has preceded and shaped itsnecessity. Yet human history itself is cradledin the immensity of nature. And this nature,an all-pervading, ever-changing dynamic,an interpenetrating web of energies andforces, is ultimately and intrinsically bothinseparable from our own nature, and yetvastly, superbly beyond it.

Viewing history as warp and woof ofthe unfolding biogeological process of thisplanet we may then formulate the Holo-nomic Equation. Encompassing both thebiopsychic operations of the human or-ganism and the laws by which the pheno-menal world makes itself known to us, theHolonomic Equation establishes a frame-work for giving ourselves a genuinely globalbearing on who, where, why, and when weare, so that, if nothing else, we might actu-ally proceed beyond the nuclear impasse ofthe late twentieth century.

We now present the holonomicframework in written form with the intentionof preparing the reader for the maps, as wellas to indicate the structure that the flow ofthe maps possesses. This five-partframework may be taken as the actualstructure of the holonomic equation. Thevariables of the equation are represented byman's ability to know—science—and toexpress—art. The sum of the equation, themeaning of its different parts, and the pro-cess by which the equation is resolved, all

comprise nature. Ever-changing in its ap-pearances, yet indestructible, intrinsicallyunified throughout, from the atomic to thegalactic orders, this universal nature isnothing less than the sacred order of thecosmos itself. And we, mankind, humanity,represent but a few brilliantly coloredstrands woven into the tapestry of this ulti-mate immensity.

The five-part structure of the holonomicequation can be defined in the followingmanner:

7. Nature presents itself: The teemingpristine condition of earth, from its primalchemical soup to its elemental atmosphericrhythms and biological hierarchies as wellas heaven—the sky—with its divisions ofday and night and the mathematical regimesof the cycles of sun, moon, and stars.

2. Man learns from nature: In the evolu-tionary framework, this represents the longlearning process preliminary to the esta-blishment of civilization. Once civilizationis established, it also represents the continu-ing capacity to learn from our effects—thenatural feedback process.

3. Man transforms nature: This representsthe intensification of civilization known ashistory, the gradual radiation of humanityover the planet, culminating in the industrialtransmutation of matter and the establish-ment of the global/electronic nervous sys-tem.

4. Nature evaluates man's transformation:Nature's feedback, including the manifesta-

tion of the psi bank as well as the naturalalterations and adjustments brought on byman's disregard of the inherent sacrednessof universal order.

5. Man and nature synthesized: The man-ifestation of an aesthetically directedgeotechnology that harmonizes the intelli-gence of man with the natural energies ofthe environment for the purpose of creatinga fully conscious planetary organism. Inother words, the planetization of man thatfollows the hominization of the planet.

What lies beyond this description ofthe fivefold structure of the holonomicequation is entry into the community ofgalactic intelligence. For ourselves at thispoint, in the entire process, the communityof galactic intelligence, however inspiring,is mere vision. What we must understand isthe fact that we are at this moment transitingfrom phase three to phase four of theholonomic equation. Since there is nocompletely clear demarcation betweenthese phases, in some regards the evaluationprocess is well under way. What appears tobe the established order of present-daycivilization is actually only the inert butspectacular momentum of a high velocityvehicle whose engine has already stoppedfunctioning.

From the perspective of holonomicrecollection, we are in a stage of massivemolting and unprecedented transformation.In this situation, there is nothing that can bedone—that is, if doing something meanstrying to salvage relics of thought and waysof life that are the products of partial and

limited past conditionings. However, if weunderstand the holonomic equation ascontainining the absolute truth of the relativeworld, then there is the possibility of attun-ing ourselves to the entire process of recol-lection. With attunement conies knowledgeof the time and of the necessary proceduresto follow in order to make the most of thetime. And, as we know, right timing is thekey to effective action.

With these thoughts, let us return then ,to the fivefold structure of the holonomicequation. As we have seen, there are threevariables: art, science, and sacred order.Since sacred order represents the underlyingstructure of nature, it precedes, underliesand postdates the human historical process.

Through our senses we perceive andexperience this order as the biologicalrhythms of the earth and the mathematicalregimes of the heavens. In the initial phasewhen nature presents itself, the precisenature of the rhythms and of the mathemati-cal regime remains hidden or latent. Yet it isthere—a magnificent warp and woof await-ing man's self-reflective intelligence inorder to be translated into conscious form.Through observation and intuition, thisorder is first felt and expressed as myth. Eventhe psi bank, as Teilhard de Chardin ob-served, is there from the initial emergence ofhomo sapiens. In its mythic form, the psibank is heaven or the heavens, the upperworld, the realm beyond, the dreamtime,the home of the ancestors, the mysteriousrealm.

So we read in the Celtic tale "TheVoyage of Mael Duin,"

They rowed after that until they came upona great silver pillar with four sides, each sidebeing two oar-strokes of the boat length, sothat its whole circumference was eightoar-strokes of the boat; and there was not asingle sod of land around it, but only theboundless ocean, and they did not see thenature of its base below, nor of its apex tothe top. There was a silver net reaching farout from its top and the beat came under sailthrough the mesh of this net and Diurangave a blow with the edge of his spearacross the mesh of the net. "Do not spoil thenet," said Mael Duin, "for what we see isthe work of mighty men.'" "For the Glory ofthe name of God," said Diuran, "I do this,so that my tale may be the better believed,and I shall lay it on the altar at Armagh, if Ireach Ireland . . ." After that they heard agreat bright clear voice from the top of thatpillar, but they did not know what languageit spoke nor what it said.

The voice heard by Mael Duin is the voiceof holonomic recollection. The net is thewarp and woof of the psi bank itself. In-vested with the pattern of sacred order, thepsi bank reveals itself according to thenature of the intelligence and imaginationof the seeker. To some it is myth, to others itis number, hardly ever is it solely one or theother. And the act of Diuran in cutting apiece of the net, so that his tale might bebelieved, is the primordial act by whichhistory is initiated as the cumulative progres-sion of man's naturally rebounding, self-re-flective actions.

So it is in the presentation of the mapscomprising Earth Ascending. Commencingwith the "silver net," the primary matrix ofthe psi bank warp demonstrating the genera-tion of the binary triplet configuration, thekeys, the code, and the model are thendisplayed. Following the presentation ofthese primordial givens, we are shown theplacement and function of the psi bank inrelation to earth's magnetic field, as well asthe fundamental holonomic clue: the one-to-one equivalence of the binary order ofthe genetic code and / Ching. A key exampleof "random'' psi bank diffusion, the BenFranklin magic square of eight, is followedby the Tzolkin, the Mayan Sacred Calendar,to which the Ben Franklin square has aunique numerological relation.

The second stage of the equation,"man learns from nature," demonstratesknowledge through attunement. In thisprimal process of knowing, information isgathered through biopsychic resonance.This can also be referred to as "passiveknowing," and is a natural function of theintrinsic unity or harmony of man andnature. Because of its ultimately harmonicnature, knowledge through attunement canalso be defined as artful knowing—knowingthat is inherently aesthetic and hence ex-pressed through primordially artistic means.This is the knowing of shamans; it is cos-momagical knowing, which is intuitive,organic, and paraverbal. The stage of theequation in which such knowledge occursis literally prehistorical and historicallypreliterate. Accordingly, the maps compris-ing Part II of the holonomic equation are ofan inherently visual, paraverbal, aborigi-

nally evocative nature.Though this knowing is paraverbal and

prehistoric, without it there would be nofoundation from which anything furthercould develop. Knowledge through attune-ment represents the direct index of com-munication between our various senses andnature. For this reason the concluding mapsof this section describe the evolution of thesenses from the primordial synaestheticunity, through the process of elaborationand specialization, finally returning to acondition of holonomic synaesthesia. In thisway we can see history not as an ideologicalphenomenon but as the process of psycho-sensory unfolding—a psychogenetic feed-back loop.

This brings us to the third stage of theequation, "man transforms nature." This isthe stage of complexification. Through ahospitable host environment, DNA hasripened and matured into an intricate,sensitive, self-reflective, culture-creatingorganism, man. Like the DNA from which itevolved, the culture manifest by man'spsychosensory unfolding exhibits its ownbinary double helix pulsation, the binarypulse of history.

The structural dynamic of psychocul-tural development may be envisioned astwo helical currents corresponding to thetwo DNA strands in which information isprocessed according to the binary law ofcrossover polarity. Psychoculturally, thismeans that one strand processes informationfrom the future to the present, the other fromthe past to the present. The former, thestrand of vision, is referred to as the AC(aboriginal continuity) current, the latter as

the CA (civilizational advance) current. Thedynamic interaction of the two generateshuman culture.

This dynamic is universal and constant,and for this reason each of the seven pristinestreams of civilization comprising the Oc-tave of Civilization exhibits the same under-lying structure. The elements of time andgeography represent a discontinuity of theoverall web of global civilization, andhence, create the geocultural, ideologicalpatterns known as history.

The maps of Part III demonstrate theflow of civilization and the pattern of historywithin the context of plate tectonics, geo-graphy, and the electromagnetic field, i.e.,within the governing geomagnetic featuresof the planet as it has come to be in thepresent, the Holocene era.

However, if we were to rely simply onhistorical information and materially gener-ated means of information analysis, likepresent-day civilization itself, we wouldmerely be allowing ourselves to be swayedby past conditionings. As we have alreadynoted, these past conditionings are provin-cially flawed and biased. Thus we arrive atthe fourth stage of the holonomic equation,"nature evaluates man's transformation/'Opening with maps of the psi bank as de-rived from the flow of history itself, Part IV ofEarth Ascending presents a graphic descrip-tion of the complete process of man's know-ing and doing, otherwise known as theholonomic recollection circuit.

In this process, which represents afurther stage of learning, we see that the psibank consists of two templates, the AC andthe CA. The process of history—or actually

of man's psychocultural developmentunderstood as the gradual planetization ofconsciousness—is articulated into threebroad phases: the prehistorical, the histori-cal, and the posthistorical. These threephases are further broken down into eightstages of holonomic recollection. The firsttwo stages, comprising prehistory, are afunction of the AC template; the next four,comprising the growth of civilization andhistory itself, are governed by the CAtemplate. The final two stages mark a returnto the AC template, but obviously at a syn-thesized and planetary or global level ofdevelopment.

As wi ll be evident from a study of themaps and information comprising Part IV ofthe holonomic equation, Hiroshima marksthe limit of man's transformation of nature,and, in a very real sense, the end of history.Thus it is that we find ourselves crossing thecorpus callosum of history for the secondtime. The first crossing marked the passagefrom prehistory to history, symbolized byDiuran's taking the piece of the net andlaying it on the altar at Armagh. In the return,we take that piece of net from the altar andweave it back into the psi bank itself. Thus,the concluding map from this section de-picts the primordial image of the historicalcircuit of man's knowing, Quetzalcoatl orthe Plumed Serpent who, like the alchemi-cal Ouroboros biting its own tail, completeshimself against the matrix of the woof ofhistory. Born of myth, history passes againinto mythic structure.

The final section, the holonomic equa-tion, Part V, represents man and naturesynthesized. Here the key is given for com-

pletely deciphering the codes. The patternof history, the genetic code, the psi bank,the solar and galactic pulsations, geomag-netism and man's own heightened bio-psychic operations are synthesized into ablueprint or template/matrix in whichchromatics, the science of color and ofharmony in general, represent the emergentgeotechnology. This geotechnology isreferred to as radiosonics—a functionaltechnology based on the biopsychicallyactivated synthesis of geo- and elec-tromagnetic energies.

Though the final stageof the posthistor-ical process—preparation for entry into thegalactic community—is still quite distantfrom us, nevertheless it is good to have somekind of map indicating the nature of theterrain and the quality of the journey. Yetthere is no ultimate goal. Transforming earthiito a luminous and purified orb is itselfonly preparation for another stage in ajourney that, for all practical purposes, iswithout beginning or end. Nevertheless, bythe same token that we can say there is nogoal, we can also declare that the goal isalready present. By the logic of holonomics,the whole is in the part, the end is in thebeginning, and for those of us in midstreamthere is only one imperative: to properlyjoin heaven and earth, beginning and end,alpha and omega.

The foregoing narrative should not betaken as anything more than a prelude to the

flow of maps that follows. It is in the visuallogic of the flow and the accompanyingglossary and keys that each person maydetermine for him or herself where he or shestands in the holonomic equation.

From the whole to the part,The whole is in the part;Every part is holy.

The Maps

I: Nature Presents Itself

Prelude:The Code,The Key,The Model

Earth Ascending is not speculation, but aprecise set of keys, a code, a matrix, andultimately a display of the underlying pat-terns governing the conscious experience oflife on this particular planet. Since the earthitself is a functional aspect of a larger order,the solar system, in turn an integral memberof the galaxy, what is true for the functioningof this planet is inalienably affected by andresonant with the functioning of the largersystems of which it is a subset.

Put in simpler terms, everything isresonant with everything else. Within thetotal field of resonance, universe, differentlevels of order or systemic subsets may bedistinguished. For ourselves these levels oforder may be described in the followingmanner, going from the micro- to the mac-rocosmic: 1) the radiogenetic or atomic/cel-lular, the primary formal structures andsystems of matter and life; 2) the subtle,complex organism comprising the indi-vidual human, structurally no different fromevery other human; 3) the total organismhumanity considered as a single multimem-bered body, the purposive, self-reflectivemembrane of the planet; 4) the planet bodyitself, with all of its palpitating concentriclevels from dense hot core to ethereal

magnetic field; 5) the solar system with thesun at its core, as the heart is to the humanbody, or the nucleus to the atom or the cell;6) the galactic field; with its virtually innum-erable star systems; and finally 7) universeentire with its equally innumerablegalaxies.

What is important to keep in mind isthat we are defining levels of order, holar-chic systems, each inclusive of or includedby other holarchies. In order for mutuallyresonant, and hence interdependent andinteractive systems to function, i.e., possessholonomic reciprocity, there must be auniversal resonant mechanism. The namegiven to this common structural resonantmechanism is the binary triplet configura-tion. This configuration represents bothprimary structure as welI as primary process.Though primary, it is also the prefigurationor map of the whole process any system isdestined to undergo. As such, the binarytriplet configuration is the pattern underly-ing the psi bank matrix, the key resonantpattern for all life, purposive intelligenceand conscious behavior on this planet.

We first presentthe primary warp or longitudinalpattern of the psi bank matrix in all of its simple,inclusive majesty. The warp represents thecelestial, heavenly, the electromagnetic weaveof the psi bank as distinct from the latitudinalwoof, representing the terrestrial, biological,and historic pattern (see Map 37). Both warp andwoof each consist of eight sections for a total ofsixteen mutually interfacing parts. While thewarp has a pattern identifiable as a repetition ofeight of the 260-unit (20 rows across x 13vertical) Tzolkin or Tonalpohualli, the SacredCalendar of ancient Mesoamerican civilization,the woof is based on the progression by eights ofthe sixty-four kua or binary linear patterns of /Ching.

Encoded in the psi bank warp are four setsof binary triplet configurations set ninety degreesapart, conjoined at the zero latitude or equatorialline. The four ninety-degree divisions encom-pass the surface of the earth. The ninety-degreedivisions also correspond to the progression ofthe seasons in their north/south polarity, for atotal of eight sets, each defined and charac-terized by a binary triplet configuration. Theprimal symmetry and primordial order of thewarp pattern of the psi bank matrix distinguish itas the aboriginal generative field from which allother patterns, systems, structures, and orders ofbeing and knowing are derived. The mostprimary of these structures, of course, is thebinary triplet configuration itself.

The binary triplet configuration is a wholenumber code and visual construct. From thisconfiguration as it manifests in the 260-unitmatrix of the Sacred Calendar, one-eighth of thepsi bank warp, all other structures and processare derived. In this regard the binary tripletconfiguration is the primary resonant structurecommon to all processes and systems. It is thevisible form of the cosmic code.

Its bilateral symmetry defines it as binary ortwofold. It will be noted that the symmetricalfold of the configuration is defined by the centralor seventh of the thirteen columns in the struc-ture of the Tzolkin. This central column is the"mystic column" or the "axis of the eternalpresent."

Its triplet aspect is defined by the twentyhorizontal or latitudinal rows. The top andbottom five rows are perfectly symmetrical toeach other. The more complex pattern distin-guishing the ten central rows (again divided intotwo five-rowed parts each perfectly symmetricalto each other) is the critical third zone of transfor-mation. Due to the latteral symmetry of thecentral zone, the entire figure can also be viewedas four-part configurations of five rows each.

Each side of the binary pattern consists of26 units, for a total of 52. Adding the numbers insets of four, beginning with the corners andworking inward, we find that the sums arealways 28. This figure times 13 (the number 52divided by 4) gives us a total of 364, a lunar year.This is a numerical key to the basic calendricalnature of the structure.

If the left side of the configuration represents

a negative flow of energy, and the right a posi-tive, then we have a basic image of polar electri-cal charge and flow. Further, if the left side flowsdownward and the right flows upward, then wesee that the central zone of transformationrepresents an area of crossover polarity. Themechanism of crossover polarity is the funda-mental dynamic without which there would beno energy and life. In the center of the mysticcolumn—which also represents the space thatmakes possible the transformative dynamic ofthe crossover polarity—we see the numbers thir-and one , the omega and thealpha, the end joined to the beginning.

While we speak of this configuration interms of negative/positive electrical charge, italso represents the basic dynamic or mechanismof the double helix, of the genetic code, i.e., twostrands of DNA crossing and winding aroundeach other. As the basic code of life containingthe information governing both the replicationand auto-regulation of all living organisms, allDNA is based on the binary triplet configuration.The basic structure of DNA is as follows: of thetwo strands, one contains the template of theother. In the case of the binary triplet configura-tion, assume that this is the left-hand strand.Further, each strand processes information in adirection opposite the other.

Translating this process into terms of thebiopsychic situation of human life and con-sciousness, one information flow moves fromthe future to the present, the other from the pastto the future. The former is the flow or current ofvision, intuition, dream. The other representsinformation as it is manifest and codified intosymbols, written forms, material structures,books, libraries, and so forth. The current ofvision moving from future to present is the AC(aboriginal continuity current) the latter, the CA(civilizational advance). The former moves fromthe synthesized future to the particularizedpresent. The latter represents analytical methodsarticulating specific action modes built uponmodels of past behavior and knowledge.

The Primary Matrix One-Eighth of LongitudinalPsi Bank Warp (Tzolkin).

The primary matrix containing and defined bythe binary triplet configuration is a wholenumber model consisting of the numbers onethrough thirteen repeated on a lattice of twenty,for a total of 2(>() permutations (13 x 20). Amongthe Maya and Nahua of ancient Mesoamerica,the twenty lattice rows were represented bytwenty symbols suggestive of the most primaryaspects of the life/death process (see Maps 9 and30).

As already noted, the seventh or middle ofthe thirteen longitudinal columns represents the"mystic column" with the omega and alpha,numerals 13 and 1, joined at the very center ofthe entire Tzolkin. Among the Nahua and Maya,the 260-unit permutation device was translatedinto the so-called Sacred Calendar of 260 days,which coincided every 52 years with the solarcalendar, and every 104 years with the solar andVenus calendars. Subtracting the number ofunits represented by the mystic column leaves240 units, a figure divisible by 16, 12, and 8, theother key calendrical and geotransformativenumbers.

Sixteen of the 260-day cycles add up to11.3 solar years, the average time for a binarysun spot cycle to attain a crossover polarity.Since the primary matrix represents the one-eighth longitudinal warp or electromagneticmatrix of the psi bank, we may relate its deriva-tion to the electromagnetic pulsations of the sunspots in their binary movements (see Maps 4,10,29, and 30).

While the numbers 1 through 13 havevarying and multiplecalendrical/cyclical associ-ations, the number 20, inclusive of the numbers1 through 20, can be genetically associated wiiththe twenty amino acids constructed from thesixty-four DNA codons (see Maps 7 and 32).

As noted, the fifty-two units comprising thebinary triplet configuration may be reduced tothirteen sets of four units each, beginning withthe four corner units and moving inward in aconcentric manner. When this numerical move-ment is considered as a concentric resonancepattern, or waves of sound emanating from acentral point (the omega/alpha juncture of themystic column), they may take on a three-dimen-sional or spherical form.

Spherically generated, the binary tripletconfiguration becomes the primary resonantfield model, the holonomic topocosm (topomeaning "place," cosm meaning "order,"hence "place of order"), defined by TheodorGaster as "the entire complex of any givenlocality conceived as a living organism."Whereas the binary triplet configuration is aprimary information structure, the resonant fieldmodel or holonomic topocosm represents theprimary space/time matrix of any whole struc-ture. As such, it is the schematic model of theatom, of a living organism, of the planet, of thesolar system, or of the universe itself.

Consisting of three mutually intersectingfields of resonance, the electromagnetic, thegravitational, and the biopsychic, we may viewthis model most immediately as a primary imageof planet earth as a total organism, or holon. Atthe same time, it is the model that defines ourtotal experience as a self-reflective evolvingorganism upon host planet earth. Thus, themodel is both the structure of nature and themodel for knowing that structure.

As an image of the total organism planetearth, the electromagnetic field finds its actualcorrespondence in the Van Allen radiation belts.The gravitational field finds its physical play-ground in the geomagnetically evolving andshifting tectonic plates which compose thesubstructure of living earth. Finally to the bio-psychic resonance field corresponds the psibank, the earth's brain, the guidingfield control-ling the conscious evolution of the planet'sdirecting organism, humankind.

While the electromagnetic field corre-sponds to the upper part of the binary tripletstructure, and the gravitational field to thesymmetrically reflected lower part, the bio-psyc hie: field, represented by man, correspondsto the dynamic zone of transformation, pivot ofthe crossover polarity mechanism. The nucleusor core of the model represents the living evolv-ing heart of any process brought about by thedynamic equilibrium of the three fields of reso-nance.

Each of the three fields has its own positive/negative polarity and charges, yielding a six-partdivision or structure. This may be related to thesix-line structure of the binary order of the DNAcodons and kua or hexagrams of / Ching. Interms of the traditional geomantic equation, theelectromagnetic field corresponds to heaven,the biopsychic to man, and the gravitational toearth. In a psychological sense, the elec-tromagnetic field corresponds to the sensefields, the gravitational field to the sense organs,and the biopsychic to the attendant internalstates of Consciousness generated by the match-ing of sense field and sense organ.

In an informational or material sense, boththe binary triplet configuration and the resonantfield model may be understood as generatingfrom beginningless space, and hence themselvesbeing without any real beginning or end. From apsychological point of view, however, thesemodels are self-existing manifestations of mind.Quite simply, all phenomena are dependentupon mind for meaning and mind, like space, isinfinitely extensive and pervasive. From theperspective of holonomic logic, the structure ofnature and the model of knowing are holonomi-cally indistinguishable, and since knowing is afunction of mind, all structures are mental innature.

Here the psi bank, an evolving planetary struc-ture dependent upon man's own consciousdevelopment as a total planetary organism, isshown in its most primary condition: a doublehelix binary matrix generated by the two radia-tion belts.

The inner belt, consisting of trapped posi-tive cosmic radiation—protons—and the outerof trapped negative solar radiation—electrons—provides the binary field for the rudimentary psibank matrix. The positive/negative polarities ofboth radiation and psi belts are sensitized to thenorth/south poles of the geomagnetic (gravita-tional) field. The simple helical structure of thepsi bank matrix as the biopsychic resonancefield of planet earth is obviously attuned to orresonant with the primary double helix config-uration governing the operation of the geneticcode. This is to be expected since the spectrumof the biopsychic resonance fields runs thegamut from the most simple cellular organism tothe most refined levels of mental activity.

There is no life without purpose, no purposewithout some kind of governing intelligence, no

intelligence without a field of consciousness. Asorganisms grow in neurophysiological complex-ity, so too the field of consciousness evolves,and with it the purposive intelligence of theorganism, finding its culmination in man, inwhom there occurs, finally, the possibility ofself-reflective mind.

As it is evident that mind and consciousnessare not the sole possession or invention of anysingle individual—though possessed by all—and since the human organism in its entirety isan evolutionary function of the earth, the mentalconfiguration of this organism, possessing thequalities of purposive intelligence, may also beviewed as a property of the earth itself. Hencethe psi bank: earth's brain or mental field inwhich resides the guiding autoregulative patternof the inseparable, conscious evolution of manand planet.

The geomantic flowchart corresponds to theprimary geomantic perception, heaven above,earth below, and man in between. As we haveseen, these three designations correspondrespectively to the electromagnetic, gravita-tional, and biopsychic fields of the primaryresonant field model. The geomantic flowchartemphasizes this three-part relationship as anorganismic cycle revolving about the centralaxis which divides the model into two halves:man and weather.

As the two volatile variables betweenheaven and earth, man and the weather com-prise a unique binary relationship, the mutualinteraction of which has long been a recognizedfoundation of all systems of geomancy. Moregenerally, the weather or left-hand side of thegeomantic flowchart represents the total spec-trum of the phenomenal world known to man,the so-called objective world. The right-handside, representing the biopsychic spectrum ofinternal and external sensations as well as allpsychic impulses, corresponds to the so-calledsubjective world of mind. The totality of thesetwo halves, with all of their mutual correspon-dences, comprises the binary structure of natureand the holonomic model of knowing.

The facing model of a holonomictopocosmwith evolved psi bank rings depicts a con-sciously harmonized planetary field structure,the primal model of which is represented by thegeomantic flowchart. The horizontal ringsrepresent the motions of the planet in time—thegravitational field—while the vertical ringscorrespond to the cumulative articulationsof thedifferent psychocultural stages in the planet'sevolution toward a consciously harmonizedcondition. The lotus, from which emerges this"planet with noosphere," to use de Chardin'sphrase, is the age-old symbol of purity andawakened intelligence.

Just as the patterns of atmosphere and the wea-ther are continuously recirculated between thesurface of the earth and the radiation belts of themagnetic field in a series of increasingly rarefiedlevels, so psi information structures—psions—are continuously recirculated between theorganism man and the psi bank or holonomicbrain of planet earth.

This simple, straightforward operation ofthe primary resonant field model is the mainfactor in accounting for the diffusion and dis-semination of archetypal images and processesamong the scattered members of the humanrace, particularly during the course of the firstthree stages of psychocultural development—the aboriginal, the hieratic and the medieval. It isbecauseof such recirculation that there could benot only diffusion of key information over vastgeographical spreads, but over time as well.

This phenomenon is demonstrated in theillustration of psion transfer and transformation.In this example we are not deal ing with a one-to-one correspondence of image or symbol, but aresonant equivalence of psychocultural intent aswell as the means of expressing that psychocul-tural intention. The two terms of this particularresonant equivalence are early hieratic China3700-3100 P.A.* and mid-hieratic Nigeria1000-600 P.A. Both of these pristine hieraticcenters specialized in the creation of ritualbronzes, to a degree unexcelled by any of theother five pristine civilizations. In both cases theritual bronzes were manufactured in the contextof a highly developed system of ancestor wor-ship.

In China, the ritual bronze production wasfirst ful ly realized under the aegis of the House ofShang, the first so-called historic dynasty ofChina. Among the Yoruba-lfe of Nigeria, thebronzes were wrought under the tutelage of thegreat ancestor king and sky god of thunder andlightning, Shango. The Chinese bronzes—created on the early end of the hieratic civiliza-tional scale in China—are brilliantly abstract ina style that is late shamanistic animism. TheNigerian bronzes—created at the opposite endof the scale of hieratic emergence—are a sum-mation of the purest idealistic naturalism,exemplified by late hieratic civilizational style.

The dynamic that connects the Chineseritual bronze complex with that of the Nigerianalmost four thousand years later resides in thecommon practice of ancestor worship. Throughthe transcendent catharsis that took place in thegreat Chinese rituals in which the bronzes wereemployed—rituals that invoked the energy andpowers of the ancestor figures—a particularquality of psion unit was released, to be kept instorage in the psi bank. Some twenty-fivehundred years later in Nigeria when bronzecasting, already accorded great cosmomagicalsignificance, was linked with ancestor andsky-god worship, particularly of the great kingsof Ife, the quality of energy contained in theoriginal Chinese psion was released or precipi-tated.

Of the great center of Shang it is written:

The Capital of Shang was a city of cosmic order,The pivot of the four quarters. Glorious was its renown,Purifying its divine powers manifested in longevity and tranquility,And the protection of us who came after.

Of Ife, Nigeria, where the sixteen gods ofgeomancy descended, it is said that there thegods came down from heaven on an iron chainto create and populate the world.*ln the dating system of the Earth Ascending, the followingdesignations are used:P.A. = Pre-atomic,AH. = After Hiroshima. August 6,1945therefore is the zero point in this chronological calculation.In the Chinese calendar this date marks the germinal point ofautumn, midway between the summer solstice and autumnequinox. In the temporal version of the arrangement of theeight kua of / Ching it corresponds to the K'un, the Recep-t i v e T h e date August 6 also signifies the beginningpoint ottne present Mayan calendar cycle, August 6, 3114B.C., or 13.0.0.0.0, Mayan, or 5059 P.A.

While the example of Chinese and Nigerianritual bronzes and ancestor worship is a de-monstration of a mutual configuration resultingin a unique cultural resonance, the exact identityof the binary system of / Ching and the geneticcode is not only an example of psi transfer butalso a key to the entire biopsychic unfolding ofthe planet.

It was the first of the five "legendary"emperors of China, Fu Hi (or Fu Hsi), ca. 5000P.A., who is credited with the discovery of thebinary system of l Ching. Based on the primordialbinary elements, yin and yang, dark and light,the individual lines of the eight kua or binarytriplet figures are designated — — and _____or yin and yang respectively. These two Iines arethen arranged in three line structures read fromthe bottom up, for a total of eight kua or binarytriplet structures. From these, Fu Hi constructedthe early heaven arrangement of the eight kua byplacing each of the binary triplet figures diamet-rically across from its polar opposite.

Toward 3000 P.A., some eighteen hundredyears after Fu Hi and at the point between thedecline of the House of Shang and the rise of theHouse of Zhou, King Wen, while imprisoned,came up with the second arrangement of theeight binary triplet figures, the so-called laterheaven arrangement. King Wen's supplemen-tary arrangement, reflecting the commencementof the historical process, allowed the kua to beread in a sequential or temporal fashion, asopposed to the purely cosmic arrangement of FuHi. Further, while Fu Hi's totally symmetricalarrangement corresponds to heaven or theelectromagnetic field, King Wen's correspondsto the earth or the gravitational field rotating intime.

Most important, with two sets of the eightbinary triplets now in place, King Wen was able

to combine them, thus producing the sixty-foursix-line permutations known nowadays ashexagrams. These sixty-four six-line structuresor kua comprise the changes and correspond tothe biopsychic field, man. Through the work ofKung-fu-tze, Yang Shao, and many otherscholar/scientist sages, / Ching became one ofthe classics and a bedrock of Chinese scienceand philosophy.

Through Jesuit priests in the seventeenthcentury who brought / Ching to his attention, theGerman Philosopher Leibnitz was able to con-firm his system of binary mathematics, the basisof present-day computer science. Less than two

hundred years ago, another Germanphilosopher, G.F. Hegel, familiar with thebinary system of Leibnitz, constructed thedialectical theory of history, a theory that had agreat influence on the social philosopher andfounder of communism, Karl Marx. In the pre-sent century, / Ching attracted the interest andattention of the psychologist Carl Jung, forwhom it confirmed many suspicions concerningthe "archetypes" of human consciousness aswell as the notion of synchronicity, the idea thatthings or events gain significance from theirhappening at the same time. In 1949, Jung wrotehis foreword to the most valuable of the present-day European versions of / Ching, the Wilhelm/Baynes edition. In 1950, this text, first translatedinto German in 1923, saw its English languagepublication. In 1953 two scientists, JamesWatson and Francis Crick, announced to theworld their discovery of the genetic code,consisting of sixty-four binary triplet figurescalled DNA codons.

The genetic code is written with four nuc-leic acid letters, each one represented by the twobasic linear units of binary language ( — ,— — ), yielding a total of four two-line pos-

sibilities. Any three of these two line structurescan combine to create a codon, represented as asix-line structure. Like the hexagrams of / Ching,

there are sixty-four codons, and only sixty-foursuch structures possible. From these codons, thetwenty amino acids are derived.

The exact correspondence between thebinary language of / Ching and the genetic codeof life, first put together by Martin Schonbergerin 1973, acquires an even more uncanny twist inconsideration of the three "nonsense" codons.One of these begins every genetic "sentence"; -either one of the other two i nd icates a stop to anygenetic sentence written in the nucleic chromo-some of every cell of life. The / Ching hexagramcorresponding to the alpha or start of everygenetic sentence is 56, usually translated as TheWanderer, and depicts fire on top of the moun-tain. Like DNA traveling across the cosmos inmicrogenetic fragments, the idea implied by theimage of fire on top of the mountain is that of lifeor vitality constantly moving from one place toanother. The hexagrams corresponding to thestop codons are 12 and 33, Standstill and Re-treat. Both of these describe situations in whichthere can be no further development, and hencethere is a separation of the vital elements indicat-ing death or a drastic disruption of the equilib-rium of life.

The "coincidental" identity of the binary orderof the sixty-four kua of / Ching and the sixty-fourDNA codons is of such magnitude that theguiding mechanism of the psi bank becomes anintelligibly helpful force, even to those who hadnot previously considered it. But, as we havealready indicated, it is not just coincidence thatis at work here. With the DNA codons we aredealing biologically with the very code of life;with / Ching, we are, at the very least, confrontedwith an equivalent biopsychic code, a map ofthe development of intelligence itself. Thus,these are not just two casual systems that find ineach other a complete identity of structure, buttwo codes that underlie, determine, and describethe complete development of life and intelligentpurposive behavior upon this planet.

G i ven the enorm ity of what the two systemssignify, it is not in the least an improbableconclusion to suggest that we are also dealingwith a basic coding structure inherent in the psibank as well. To verify this intuition, we mayturn to another "random" psi manifestation: theBen Franklin magic square of 8 with an array of260, i.e., an 8 x 8 or 64-number set of permuta-tions, every vertical and horizontal row of whichadds up to 260. This particular magic square,like a number of others, came to Ben Franklinquite gratuitously towards 1750.

For Franklin, the manifestation of thesesquares in his conscious mind was a matter of ahighly curious but ultimately innocuous pas-time, which seems to have led nowhere beyondmathematical parlor games. On the other hand,Franklin was not aware of / Ching, nor did heknow anything about DNA. The fact that theTzolkin is a calendar count of 260 days wasanother fact of which Franklin was totally ignor-ant. Finally, Franklin had notthe slightest inklingthat the first magic square in history is attributedto none other than Fu Hi, the first emperor ofChina, the person who brought the binarysystem / Ching into the world.

What we have done with Franklin's magicsquare of 8 with an array of 260 is write in thesixty-four /kua/DNA codon figures that corres-pond to the numbers. The resulting pattern isnothing less than elegant. Throughout the wholesquare we are confronted with the primordialdynamic of the crossover polarity. In fact, thepattern underlying the square comes across as ahighly intricate and integrated weaving, dividedinto two equal sections of four parts, each partcontaining eight squares arranged into two rowseach. Each of the eight sections or plates exhibitsthe exact same symmetry pattern, consisting of acentral section of four squares, the numbers ofwhich all relate to each other in the perfectcrossover polarity pattern, and two side sectionsof two numbers each, each opposite set of whichalso relates to each other in the same crossoverpattern. /

Reduced to its most basic essentials, thecrossover polarity pattern of each plate, as wellas of the overall pattern of the total sixty-foursquares, results in a simple figure that is the mostprimary binary crossover pattern. That this is thesame general pattern exhibited in the psi bankwarp (Map 1), the binary triplet configuration,should not be too surprising, since the psi bankwarp is based on the Tzolkin matrix of 260, thesame number as the sum of each of the rows inthe magic square of 8.

Finally, it should be noted that the primarybinary crossover pattern, the double helixstitching motif, besides exhibiting a similarity tothe t'ai ch'i symbol of yin and yang

actly the same as the Nahuatl symbol forOllin. This symbol, the seventeenth of thetwenty sacred signs in the Tonalpohualli, theNahua or Aztec variant of the Tzolkin, besidesbeing the only really abstract symbol in theNahua version of the Sacred Calendar, signifieschange or movement. Ollin also is the symbolfor the present age or sun, and figures as thecentral matrix figure on the famous and prophe-tic Aztec monument, the Sun or Calendar Stone.

To complete the first part of the holonomicequation—"Nature Presents Itself'—it seemstotally appropriate that we return to the figureindicated by the Franklin square, the Tzolkin or260-unit Sacred Calendar of ancientMesoamerica. It is this very same calendar thatprovides one-eighth matrix of the psi bank warpwith which we began this section. It should berecalled that this same calendar matrix alsocorresponds to one-sixteenth of the 11.3 yearbinary sunspot cycle.

Here we present it in horizontal arrange-ment with the twenty Mayan sacred daysigns orglyphs written across the bottom of each of thetwenty vertical rows. At the top of these sametwenty rows, we have indicated the movementof cardinal directions associated with each ofthe glyphs. In this way, we can see that althoughthe calendar is presented as a grid, in actuality talso accounted for the rotation of time in relationto space. In this larger, basic version of theTzolkin, we can observe the progression of thenumbers one to thirteen in their continuousrepetitions, with the purpose of indicating thebasic staggered or step pattern that distinguishesthe calendar grid.

It may be noted that the numbers of each o'the twenty rows add up to 91, for a total of 1820,the same number that is derived by adding thesum of the numbers of each of the thirteen rows.The sum of the numbers of the mystic column,the seventh horizontal row in this arrangement,adds up to 140(7 x 20), which, multiplied by13, equals 1820. If 1820 is taken as a count ofdays, then it establishes a figure that is less than.03 percent short of a period of five years. Thisand many otier provocative figures and ideasmay be derived from a study of the SacredCalendar.

The point, however, in presenting it here, isto demonstrate that like / Ching and DNA, theTzolkin or Sacred Calendar is a representation oia fundamental pattern of natureand not a humaninvention orcontrivance. Nature presents itself;man follows and learns.

//: Man Learns from Nature

Prelude:From Primary Attunementto Psychosensory Elaboration

The Sacred Calendar of ancient Mesoameri-can civilization, like I Ching of ancientChina, points to more-than-remarkableinstances of systems too perfect or tooingenious to be merely the product of mindsstruggling to invent a conceptual structurethat could represent or contain the order ofnature. Instead, as indicated by the congru-ence of these systems in both the geneticcode and the curious but highly integrativeexample of the Franklin square, these sys-tems are not man-made at all. Rather, theyare representations of the order of naturemade manifest to the minds of men, often ina past so ancient or dim that at best, as in thecase of / Ching, they can only be attributedto legendary figures like the first Emperor ofChina.

What the existence of / Ching andTzolkin implies is the necessity of consider-ing a basic way of knowing or learningabout things: knowledge through attune-ment. This may also be described as learningthrough resonant receptivity, intuitivelearning, or at its most exalted, learning byrevelation. This mode of visionary learning,corresponding to the AC (aboriginal con-

tinuity) current of the psychoculturaldynamic, happens primarily both in abiological as well as an historical sense.

What makes knowledge through at-tunement most effectively possible is adirect, unfiltered index of communicationbetween the sense organs and the environ-ment. This points to the necessity of reflec-tive silence, quiet, contemplation, andmeditative states of mind and being. It is inthis sense that knowledge through attune-ment is biologically primary or ahistorical.Knowledge through attunement is histori-cally primary in that it precedes civiliza-tional modes of learning (CA) such as writtenor mathematically encoded forms or pat-terns. Because of this it is most easily as-sociated with the shamanistic, aboriginalpsychocultural conditions. Because of itsbiological primacy, knowledge throughattunement also points to the continuingnecessity of the existence of aboriginalsociety and modes of knowing side-by-sidewith the growth of civilization proper.

As we have seen, the Tzolkin or Sacred Calendaris based on a set of thirteen numbers sequentiallyrepeated twenty times for a total of 260 permuta-tions. When we consider the Mayan notationsystem and the pattern created by the numbers1-13 repeated sequentially in the Mayan nota-tion system, a purely visual pattern is clearlyevident. This visual pattern can be abstractedeven further in the manner presented in this map.

What we see is a matrix of thirteen rectan-gles within which a heavy line rhythmically risesand falls repeatedly, twenty times. Above andbelow the row of rectangles curved lines relatethe odd and even rectangles to create two furtherrhythmic patterns corresponding to the fact thatwhen the numbers of the thirteen rows areadded up, the sums of the even rows differ byseven, while the sum of the odd rows differs bysix.

When we contemplate the Sacred Calendarin this purely visual manner, we can appreciateall the more that we are dealing with a patternintrinsic to nature, and not a man-made inven-tion. Knowledge of such patterns results from acombination of observation and total body-re-ceptivity. Also, as indicated in considering therole of the 260-unit matrix in the psi bank weave,we realize that we are dealing with anintuitivelyperceived celestial pattern—in this case, onebiopsychically associated with the rising andfalling pattern of binary sunspot movements.Evocative of the celestial scanning of the intui-tive eye of the primary process of knowledgethrough attunement is the Navaho sky-windowdiagram depicted beneath the rhythmic patternof the Sacred Calendar. The shape of this patternprobably corresponds to that of an observatorywindow in one of the Anasazi (Colorado Riverregion, North America) ceremonial centers, ca.1000P.A.

The basis of knowledge through attunement isthe ability to allow whatever factors or forces ofthe environment are present to penetrate andenter fully and completely the entire field of thesenses. Not only are we biopsychically a man-ifestation of the complete order of nature, butthrough our ability to be completely open andreceptive, the order may further imprint itselfupon us so that what results is a self-reflectiveinsight and understanding of the holonomicprocess. This is the foundation of knowledge,both biologically and historically.

The name given for the aboriginal—mean-ing innate, always beginning—capacity for theattainment of knowledge through attunement isshamanism. As a personality type, the shaman isthe primary creative dynamic in the humanrealm. Again we speak of both a biological andhistorical primacy. As a creative dynamic theshaman's powers are fundamentally those ofhealing and making art. To make art one mustknow how nature works; the same is true ofhealing.

The shaman magic shirt within theholonomic model represents the capacity to dieto oneself, i.e., to become selfless. This is rep-resented by the schematic skeletal pattern,symbolizing both the vision of one's own death,and at the same time the attainment of transcen-

dent insight and power. Thus, through thetransformative experience, the spinal column isunderstood to be the mystic column of thecosmic axis, and the skeletal interior madevisible as a reflection of the tree of life. Growingfrom the darkness of the earth toward theheavens, the tree is earth's elemental ambas-sador to the celestial zones (psi bank) where theshaman must go to obtain vision. Returning toearth imbued with vision, the shaman possessesthe power to heal and make art; with his powersof transcendent insight, he or she may also seeand locate those sites and places, often desig-nated by rocks, springs, or caves, where thepower of heaven and earth are mostauspiciouslypresent, thereby capable of being joined. Every-thing is sacred, and the power of sacrednessmoves through everything, circulating truththrough the least element of nature.

Here we present visual patterns, originally andtraditionally drawn upon the earth with sand.The pattern on the left is from one of the mostaboriginal of all traditions, the Australian. Itrepresents "Carpet Snake Dreaming/' In thecenter is a "waterhole"; the circles at the sidesare snakes turned into rocks. The overall effect isof an intensely vibratory, highly geometricpattern. The title of the painting indicates thatthe total image is a psychic map, which, throughits primordial patterned abstraction, is capableof linking terrestial, animistic, and mental eventsinto one whole. Hence, the painting or iconicimage may be referred to as an attunementtemplate or memory plate, for its function isfulfilled when it recalls in the perceiver the totalfield of events, images, and allusions.

Depicted within the holonomic model, theAustralian "memory plate" is shown to be aresonant pattern generated from the psi bank,earth's own memory field. One of the mostdistinctive features of the Australian Aboriginalculture is the role played by Aljira or Aljeringa,the Dream-time. This primordial zone, home ofthe ancestors, mythic and timeless, is also thegoal or state of mind that a memory templatesuch as the "Snake Carpet Dreaming" helps theviewer to regain. As a mythopoetic term for thepsi bank, the dream-time exemplifies the prelit-erate regard with which this repository of bio-psychic patterns was held.

Placed alongside the Australian image is aNavaho sand painting, "The Sun's House." Aswith the Australian "template," the Navahoimage represents a highly condensed store ofinformation contained within a single integrativepattern. The four bands, beginning at the top,represent the four houses of the sun, and may be

linked to the fourfold binary triplet patterns ofthe psi bank weave. The top band representsdawn; the one below, night; the next, blue sky;and the bottom with the circles, representing thefour cosmic winds, evening.

Each of the circular symbols of the cosmicwinds is surrounded by a rectangular rainbowpattern and a snake guardian of contrastingcolor. Above the four houses of the sun are cloudsymbols, and above those five celestial birdguardians. The painting, "The Sun's House,"derives its significance from the fact that it wasone of the first three paintings that the Sun Spiritinstructed his earth children to paint. It is alsonotable that the Sun Spirit's first teachings to hisearth children were in the arts of healing, ofwhich the sand paintings were an integral part.

Beneath "The Sun's House" is anothersky-window. This one shows the departure ofHoly Man from his father's home. The featheredtail patterns at the bottom indicate the "flight oftime," and the crossed pattern at the far left, theMilky Way. "The Sun's House" and the sky ingeneral may again be taken as images of the psibank, the repository of the patterns of learning,healing, art, and knowledge.To the right is another Navaho sand painting,"Emergence of the Medicine People." While thepreviously depicted sand painting displayed thesynthesis of the stages of the sun's relationship tothe attainment of knowledge, this one is agraphic demonstration of the intuitive, preliter-ate perception of geomantic order.

The central square represents the darknessof the earth from which the four sacred medicineplants and the medicine people emerge. Fromeach side of the square, the heads of twelve ofthese medicine people appear. Representing thefour directions are the figures of Holy Man andHoly Boy, Holy Woman and Holy Girl, which,together with each of their twelve correspondingdirectional medicine people, comprise a total offifty-two. From the corners of the earth square,four sacred medicine plants grow. Surroundingthree sides (the eastern side is open) is a celestialserpentine rainbow guardian being. Protectingthe eastern gate, open because it represents theplace where the sun dawns, are two otherguardian beings, the Sun's Tobacco Pouch,above, and the Big Fly, below. Above is anothersky-window design.

To the left are two traditional Yoruba(Nigeria) geomantic divination boards. In itspurest sense, divination is a means of directknowing by which the diviner (man) resonateswith a spontaneously generated pattern, in thiscase sixteen palm nuts (earth), which correspondto a particular binary psi bank pattern (heaven),the whole configuration of which resolves itselfin the mind of the diviner in an answer to aquestion or inquiry previously formulated.Divination is intrinsically geomantic in that it istotally dependent upon the primary relationshipconsciously established between man, heaven,and earth. From this comes an even more pri-mary definition: geomancy is the binary relationbetween mind and environment. As such itunderlies and informs all patterns of knowingand working with the world.

Among the Yoruba, geomantic divination isknown as Ifa, because it originated in Ife, theplace where the sixteen gods, symbolized by thesixteen palm nuts, descended to earth. The chiefdeity presiding over the divinatory arts is Eshu,whose visage we see in both of these divinationboards. The primal double-helix pattern of the

lower board is richly improvised upon in thrupper board, there representing a traditionalweaving pattern. Also in the circular rim aredepicted wild goats, porcupines, and tortoises,ambassadors of the animal world to the humanpsyche.

Within the circular board we have indicicatedthe primal model of the holonomic topocosm,earth itself. The two straight lines going out fromthe earth to the psi bank, represented by thecircular coil pattern, signify the divinatoryprocess, connecting the diviner and the patternof the palm nuts, shown in the lower board, wilhthe archetypal binary configuration of the"heavens." The model of the geomantic divin.vtion process is primary, and should be kept inmind when considering the maps of Part V,"Man and Nature Synthesized."

In Plato's Symposium, Socrates asks theprophetess Diotima to speak on the nature of thedaemonic or divinatory element, personified aslove. She replies:

He interprets between gods and men, conveyingand taking across to the gods the prayers andsacrifices of men, and to men the commandsand replies of the gods; he is the mediator whospans the chasm which divides them, thereforein him all is bound together, and through him thearts of the prophets and priests, their sacrificesand mysteries and charms and all prophecy andincantation find their way. For Cod mingles notwith man, but through the daemonic element (orLove) all the intercourse and converse of Godwith man, whether awake or asleep, is carriedon. The wisdom which understands this is .spiritual.

While the biological primacy of shamanic visionand geomantic knowledge remains constant,thus accounting for the AC current and theongoing capacity for renewed insight in humanhistory, its prehistorical primacy gives birth tothe process of history itself. In this sense historyis understood as the diversification of know-ledge. Yet diversification into different fieldsdoes not necessarily mean loss of unity. In fact,this is virtually impossible. A basic holonomicaxiom states: "If it works, it is related to every-thing else that works." The notion that there aredifferent fields of knowledge that are unrelatedto each other is fundamental ly the resuIt of a lossof sacred view.

At the core of the holonomic model ofknowledge is shamanism, representing theprimordial undifferentiated synthesis of know-ledge and experience. From shamanism arisesthe mother science as wel I as the mother of thesciences: geomancy, the science that investi-gates the relation between man, heaven above,and earth below. Given the three hieratic coordi-nates contained within this definition ofgeomancy, knowledge can be understood asthree mutually evolving and intersecting fields:heavenly sciences, earthly sciences, and humanor biopsychic sciences. Seen as a whole, thethree fields of knowledge and their "celestial"and "terrestial" subsets comprise the science ofunity or holonomy itself.

All knowledge is strung along the thread orplumbline of transcendent insight, which corres-ponds to the mystic column or axis of the eternalpresent. This plumbline provides the ground forthe development of contemplative spiritualpractices: meditation, prayer, vision-seeking,fasting, and ritual exercises. When there is acommunity recognizing the necessity to con-tinue to develop such practices, usually withinthe context of a religious or spiritual beliefsystem, then the result is unity of vision. Knowl-edge in all its diversity is then viewed as so manyfacets of a single sacred prism. It is only when theplumbline of transcendent insight is "cut" thatthe center no longer holds, and knowledge issplintered into a Tower of Babel of specializedfields. This occurs when there is a loss of sacredview, as exemplified by the present stage ofcivilization.

In speaking of knowledge and the learningprocess, we have mentioned two determiningfactors: the element of biological primacy, andthat of history. Applied to the human organism,the biologically primary factor refers internallyto the innate structures of the neurophysiologicalsystem, including psychic or mental factors, andexternally to the sense organs and correspondingsense fields. History is derived from the feedbackloop created by the simultaneous unfolding ofthe sense organs in response to the environment,as well as the folding back upon the senses ofwhat has been expressed through them. Thetotal internal/external factors comprising thebiohistorical or psychocultural field may becalled the system of psychosensory organiza-tion.

This organization is not a static condition.Impressions and information from the environ-ment, both natural and artificial, are continu-ously streaming into the organism through thesense fields. Mind and the neurophysiologicalsystem continuously process this informationand put it back out into the environment in theform of activity and transformative modes ofbehavior. What is put out, literally expressed, iscalled culture, which, as it accumulates, be-comes an increasingly significant artificialenvironment factor in the total psychosensoryprocess.

Turning to the synaesthetic field map, wesee that to the far left are indicated interdepen-dent and cumulatively progressive stages of theinternal psychosensory process. The internalstages of sensory information processing foreach sense organ may be divided into fivestages: 1) form, referring to initial sensory con-tact; 2) feeling, which relates to attraction orrepulsion; 3) perception, referring to qualitativeand quantitative discrimination; 4) formation,which indicates complex thought/emotionalreactions, including previously conditionedresponses; and finally 5) consciousness, thedegree, quality and kind of awareness sustainedduring a given experience.

Expanding out from the internal psychosen-sory process, the synaesthetic field map de-scribes the cumulative development of psycho-sensory elaboration in terms of the unfolding ofthe sense organs, key psychocultural sensorydeterminants, and the overall drift away from theprimary condition of aboriginal synaesthesia. Inthis context, synaesthesia may be defined as thesense fields mutually interpenetratingand actingin harmony with each other. This is the aborigi-nal psychosensory condition—literally prehis-toric and biologically unramified. This conditiondefines the initial stage of psychocultural de-velopment dominated by a "ritual round" ofmultisensory activities intended to conserve theprimal vision.

The subsequent stages, ancient world,medieval world, and modern, all describe theincreasing psychosensory elaboration thatmarks history as a play of forces and ideasever-more divorced from the original harmonywith the environment. As a result, the sum totalof educational techniques, aesthetic forms, andgeneral conditioning processes become increas-ingly encoded in forms that must be learnedregardless of the primary biological tendencies.This entire process accounts for history as"fixed" second-nature habitual tendencies.

This process reaches its culmination in thepresent or modern era, in which psychosensoryelaboration has become so intense that a condi-tion totally opposite of the aboriginal synaes-thetic condition has been reached: mechanisticpsychosensory alienation. This corresponds tothe breaking apart of the holonomic model ofknowledge, the loss of sacred view, the splinter-ing of knowledge, the divorce of art and science,and the general collective confusion caused bythe current explosion of information without acoherent knowledge structure to contain it. Asindicated by the spherical model at the right,there is a next stage, the holonomic, wnichsynthesizes the previous stages of psychosensorydevelopment into a heightened, posthistoricsynaesthesia. To understand, much less toreach, this stage requires further learning, espe-cially with regard to the psychogenetic nature ofhistory itself.

In discussing and contemplating the synaestheticfield map or history of the senses, we can beginto appreciate the psychological complexitiesinvolved in the bewildering process known ashuman history. Yet, we are not separate fromnature. The intricate structures and processes ofour neurophysiological system and the environ-ment it creates may be understood holonomi-cally as yet another expression of the mostprimary dynamic, the crossover polarity.

Genetically, this polarity manifests in thedouble helix. Historically, the crossover polaritymay be referred to as the "psychogenetic feed-back loop." Just as the maker of history, man, is abiopsychic organism, so the psychogeneticfeedback loop has its root in the DNA doublehelix pattern itself. The two strands forming thedouble helix are information processors. Theone is referred to as the AC—aboriginal con-tinuity current—the other, the CA—civiliza-tional advance current. To the AC currentcorrespond innate psychomental forms, internalsensations, and the sense organs themselves. Tothe CA current belong the cumulative culturalforms and eventually, the civilizational sensefields inclusive of the planetary environment.Psychogenetic feedback refers to the continuousinterchange between the biologically innate andthe increasingly elaborated psychoculturalfactors.

In the total psychogenetic feedback loop,there are three factors: 1) the innate psychosen-sory system itself; 2) the creation of culture or thepsychocultural environment as the expression ofthe different sense organs; and 3) the continuousimpacting of the artificial psychocultural envi-ronment upon the psychosensory system.

The totality of this process/situation is whatis usually called "history." From the psychosen-sory perspective, history is also a threefoldprocess. First of all there is the stage of bio-psychic emergence, characterized by the aborig-inal synaesthesia of prehistory. The secondstage, history proper, characterized by psycho-sensory elaboration, is also the stage of the

hominization of the planet, i.e. the radiation ofman across the planet. The third stage, that of theplanetization of human consciousness, "re-turns" to a posthistoric synaesthesia.

Graphically, history is the loop between thetwo stages of synaesthetic unity. What is true atthe historic level, i.e. at the level of the collectivetransformation of the total organism man, is alsotrue at the individual level. That is, through theprocess of growth each of us emerges from acondition of synaesthetic unity—the womb andearly childhood—into a stage of expansion,growth, and experimentation, in which we aretested and formed only to return at last to a morehighly synthesized condition of fulfillment andrealization. At least, this is the model presentedto us by our innate holonomic patterning.

As shall become more evident, the "prob-lem" of history is that the total psychogeneticfeedback process tends increasingly to preventor short-circuit the individual, and hence thecollective organism itself, from attaining that fulllevel of realization. Belief systems becomehardened into ideologies that are attempts atstandardizing the psychosensory reactionsthrough controlled psychogenetic feedback.

Once the overall process of history hasbeen engendered through full activation of theCA current, the phenomenon of psychosensoryelaboration is set in motion, a process thatcannot be fully comprehended and transformeduntil complete hominization has occurred. Thushistory becomes the record of the human or-ganism's increasing reliance on artificial culturalconditioning independent of innate and naturalenvironmental factors.

So we see that what began as a process ofknowledge through attunement becomes,through the relentless transformation of thepsychogenetic feedback loop, a dense atmos-phereof psychosensory elaboration. Yet, as withart and healing, knowing how something hasbeen done, it can be undone, and all elementsbe fashioned anew into a creation of radianceand beauty.

///: Man Transforms Nature

Prelude:Of History,Harmonics,and Holonomic Recollection

In the second stage of the holonomic equa-tion we saw that the basis of man's learningfrom nature is dependent upon the interac-tion of the sense fields with the environment.From this perspective, history appears to bea process that moves from a condition ofaboriginal synaesthesia to an ever morecomplex situation characterized by increas-ing stages of psychosensory elaboration.

This is a brief summation of historyfrom the purely psychosensory perspectiveof the most intricately evolved life-form onthe planet, the life-form that has takencharge of reshaping the terrestrial environ-ment. Yet this complex transformativelife-form, uniquely endowed with self-re-flective consciousness, is ultimately a pur-posive development and conscious growthestablished in the simple but infinitelycapable crossover dynamic of DNA. Be-cause of this underlying fact, we can beginto unravel the fabric of history in an orderlymanner and show it to be, in all actuality, anorganic function of the total planetaryholonomic recollection process.

By this statement we mean that thestory of the emergence of man—the bio-

psychic factor—on this planet must be seenin the totality of the fields in which it occurs:the terrestrial/geomagnetic/gravitationaland the celestial/electromagnetic. Untilthese factors are taken into account, norecount of history will be just or creativelyproductive, much less complete. In thecontext of the resonant field model, historyis the process by which man transformsnature. This process begins with theemergence of man—homo sapiens—insmall, often highly isolated cultural en-claves—to the final hominization of theplanet, i.e. the complete spread of man andcivilization over the entire face of the earth.This is the situation at which we have arrivedtoday.

However, while we can say that thehominization of the planet has been com-pleted, we must also now begin to speak ofthe planetization of human consciousness.This stage takes us beyond history, at leastinsofar as history is now defined. For if wedo not go beyond history, there will be nofuture of which to speak.

From an ocean, itself evolved from the stars, thecrossover polarity dynamic of the double helixemerges: two currents of energy simultaneouslyprocessing information in opposite directions;two strands of information, the one containingthe template of the other, a mere microscopicfragment—yet encompassing the pattern of thewhole process of growth, evolution and univer-sal order itself. Alive, therefore pulsing; arhythmic counterpoint of negative/positive—positive/negative pulsations. Everything pulsing.Sexual, dynamic, throbbing, full.

And history, so completely a manifestationof this primal processes no different: a binarypulse, a back-and-forth sweep of vision, transfor-mation, and synthesis, the interweaving ofaboriginal continuity and civilizational advance.

As a magnification of the binary tripletconfiguration exemplified in the primal patternof DNA, history—the process of planetaryhominization—remains obedient to the funda-mental principle of crossover polarity. With thissimple image in mind, we may begin to probebeneath the conditioned words, the slogans, thecompeting ideologies, to the actualities of theholonomic process of planet earth. In so doing,we may discover that what we call history hasbeen only a dramatic instance of transformation,resulting from a moment of utter uniqueness inwhich man, in crossing heaven and earth inhimself, jump-started the consciousness of theplanet.

In viewing the earth as a space/time matrix, thefirst thing we must grasp is the inherent unity ofearth, space, and time. Within this unity, theemergence of man is also a unity. Just as theelement fire is the same all over, though kindledby different means, so human culture is one.And as the wave of hominization gathers itsstrength and rolls from the late Pleistocene intothe Holocene or present era, so the advent andemergence of civilization is equally a unifiedglobal phenomenon.

As the rings of a tree tell us its age, so maywe view the different stages of human psycho-cultural development as successions of ringsemanated by a planetary core. To date theserings are four in number: 1) the ring of theaboriginal emergence; 2) the ring of the ancientworld, with its seven streams of civilization: theNilotic, the Mesopotamian, the Indian, theChinese, the Mesoamerican, the Andean, andthe Nigerian; 3) the Ring of the medieval world,with its three cosmopolitan religions: Buddhism,Christianity, and Islam; and finally 4) the ring ofthe modern global-industrial world.

These four rings, or stages, of history mayyield further insight when seen as the doublehelix weaving of the AC and CA currents com-prising the binary pulse of psychocultural de-velopment. In this image the psychoculturalprocess is depicted as an interchange of AC/CAdominance. Since the AC begins and ends at topand bottom left, the stages in which it dominatesare the first and the third, the aboriginal and themedieval. Stages of CA dominance are theancient (hieratic) and modern, the second andfourth respectively. Running along the right-hand side is a relative time-scale giving dates inthe P.A. code.

Continuingtoemploy the double-helix model ofthe binary pulse of psychocultural development,this map demonstrates more completely thenature of history as the process of psychosensoryelaboration. Of special significance in this mapis the graphic display, through the horizontallines within each of the four stages, of thecumulatively steady increase in psychoatmos-pheric density (PAD). A direct function of psy-chosensory elaboration, psychoatmosphericdensity refers to the increasing incidence ofartificial conditioning factors in the planetaryenvironment. Thus from bottom to top there isan increasing darkening of the historic field. Thefirst stage, corresponding to the mythic GoldenAge, is the clearest, most open, and psychicallyreceptive field. The present stage is the darkest.While the darkness of the fourth stage couldrefer to the physiochemical pollutants of theindustrialization of the planet, it may also beseen as a psychoatmospheric air-inversion—anoverdensifcation of conditioned informationthat obscures the possibility of clear vision.Finally, it may also refer to the darkness thatprecedes the dawn.

Psychosensory elaboration may be ab-breviated as PSE. As such, it is the opposite ofESP. While ESP as the incidence of psi pheno-mena is most common or prevalent in the firststage, its opposite—PSE—dominates the fourthstage. This factor accounts for the almost com-plete denial of the validity of the AC current inthe end phase of the fourth stage of the binarypulse of psychocultural development.

Though the biopsychic factor of civilization andhistory is defined by the psychogenetic feedbackloop and the process of cumulative psychosen-sory elaboration, the emergence of the humanorganism and, indeed, the ability of DNA toflourish on this planet, must take into accountthe evolving gravitational and magnetic fields ofthe earth itself.

The gravitational factors of the earth mostaffecting the emergence of civilization and theradiation of man are the forces of geomagnetismand the vital tectonic plates underlying theocean and land masses. Geomagnetism and thetectonic plates are to the visible terrestrialgeography what the primordial, aboriginalforces of consciousness are to the superficialmanifestations of culture and civilization. Whilegeomagnetism refers to the vital inner energiesof the earth, the terrestrial ch'i of Chinesegeomancy, the tectonic plates provide both thebuffer and means of ventilation between thebiospheric supporting surface of the earth, andthe uninhabitable interior.

There are seven major tectonic plates andthirteen minor ones, including the Chinese,sometimes considered a portion of the Eurasian.

The major plates are: the Eurasian, North Amer-ican, South American, African, Antarctic,Pacific, and Australian. The minor plates includethe Adriatic, Aegean, Turkish, Arabian, andIranian as buffers between the Eurasian andAfrican; the Chinese, Philippine, Bismarck,Solomon and Fiji as buffers between the Austra-lian, Pacific, and Eurasian; and the Cocos,Nazca, and Caribbean as buffers between theNorth American, South American, and thePacific plates.

In contemplating the emergent pulse pointsof civilization in relation to the tectonic plates,consideration should be given to the proximityof these pulses to plate boundaries. Only theChinese and the Nigerian pulses appear to besignificantly distant from a plate boundary.

Just as there is a unitary atmospheric system, sothere is a unitary civilizational phenomenon.Though the emergence of global civilizationoccurs at seven points, it is no less a unitaryfunction of the overall holonomic evolution ofthe planet. In fact, we may actually see a purpo-sive pattern to the seven pristine centers inrelation to each other and as they comprise awhole process.

The term "pristine" is used to describethese seven centers indicating that, by-and-large, they represent "independent" develop-ments. That is, although the seven centerspossess many common traits, these were de-veloped without significant influence from anyof the other centers. The civilizational centersare referred to as pulses, with specific geo-graphic place names to indicate the dynamicshift toward the dominance of the CA current inconfluence with geomagnetic forces whichmade possible the emergence of hieratic civili-zation.

Hieratic formally refers to an aestheticdistinguished by a pronounced bilateral sym-metry, hence balanced order. The deeper rootmeaning of hieratic however, sacredness, orsacred quality, is also intended, for hieraticcivilization is simply that conscious ordering of

experience everywhere imbued with sacredmeaning. It is notable that there is a hieraticzero-degree longitude that runs through thecenter of the Nilotic pulse. This hieratic zerolongitude is occasioned by the site of the GreatPyramid at Giza, the earliest and perhaps thegreatest geomantic monument of the entireancient/hieratic world.

Owing to the singular presence of the GreatPyramid, the Nilotic pulse signifies the begin-ning or initiation of the hieratic or first wave ofcivilization, this despite the fact that to manyarcheologists, history begins at Sumer, the nextpulse East of the Nilotic. The culmination of thehieratic wave occurs in the Nigerian pulse,immediately to the west and south of the Nilotic.

The seven centers of civilization beginningwith the Nilotic and proceeding eastwardaround the globe through the Nigerian omega,to return again to the alpha point—and a newoctave—in the Nilotic pulse, may be comparedto the notes of the musical scale. Hence we mayalso speak of the octave of hieratic civilization.

The image of the octave of civilization acquiresfurther meaning or substance in the geochrono-logical flow map of global civilization. Here wesee the seven streams of civilization flowingupward from the pristine geomagnetic pulses ina scale that shows the actual chronologicalrelation of each of the streams to each other. Themusical analogy of the seven streams represent-ing the seven successive notes in the scalecorresponds to the gradually later emergence ofthe seven civilizations beginning with theNilotic and ending with the Yoruba/Nigerian.Thus the alpha and the omega of the circuit orscale of hieratic civilization are conjoined just as" t i " precedes "do" in the musical scale. In thiscase, the return to "do" represents the com-mencement of the medieval phase of civiliza-tion.

These observations aside, the elements ofthe map are self-evident. The time scale in P.A.dates is to the' left. The bottom of the map repre-sents the prehistoric aboriginal zone precedingthe emergance of urban agricultural hieraticcivilization. The spirals indicate the geomagne-tic pulse-points of the seven pristine centers.

Names of major dynasties, cultural phases,invasions, and'imperial intrusions are clearlyindicated to show tie relative relation of themost significant of ihe civilizational transitionsand transformations in time.

It will further be noted that whereas theseven streams each begin in relative isolation,by 2000 P.A., the conclusion of the hieraticoctave, the Nilotic,Mesopotamian, Indian, andChinese streams are virtually confluent, thussetting the stage for the rise of the cosmopolitanmedieval world. By 0 (1945 A.D., Hiroshima)there is a complete confluence, if not chaoticintermingling, of al of the seven streams. Thisrepresents the condition of global industrializa-tion and represents the culminating point of theprocess of planetary hominization—the climaxof history. Beyond this line, in the not-too-distantfuture, the posthistoric stage begins.

In order to further facilitate contemplation of thegeochronological flow of civilization, the samemap is provided with a color coding that corres-ponds to the chromatic scale as read frombottom to top. The chromatic hues correspondto the psychocultural vibrational tones of eachof the phases of the historical process. This givesus the following key:

Aboriginal Phase: Red, orange.

Red signifies the most primary life-urge, body-warmth, and fire, the aboriginal basis of allhuman culture. Red is blood, the emergence ofculture, and life energy. It is completely aborigi-nal, passionate, nomadic.

Orange represents the stabilization of aboriginallifestyle, the tempering of fire. Though it stillsignifies warmth, it is less passionate and moreconservative than red. As the sedentary aborigi-nal phase, orange is generative, and representsstable prototypal culture from which civilizationproper could spring. It is also historically concur-rent, running alongside civilizational growth.

Hieratic Phase: Yellow, green.

Yellow represents the brilliant, luminous, solar-oriented, harmonious initial phase of pristinehieratic civilization. It is the triumph of light, thebursting forth of number, measure, agriculturalstability, divine balance, astronomy and geo-mantic prescience, artistic regularity, and scien-tific order.

Green signifies the ripe, fecund, expansivephase of later or imperial hieratic civilization.While it represents a deepening and maturephase of the hieratic, there is also to it a certainrecklessness, speed, and overconfidence.

Medieval Phase: Blue.

This is true blue, the color of the pure cloudlesssky on an October day. It is celestial, spirituallyripened, insightful, mystical, synthesizing. Itperfectly symbolizes the renewed and reinvigo-rated spiritual idealism of the Medieval era.

Modern: Indigo.

This highly refined vibration is deeply intellec-tual, powerfully vast in scope. Yet it is the leastluminous, and darkest of all the colors. It repre-sents the pure intellectuality of materialistscience and the industrial age. As the firstgenuinely global phase of civilization, it alsosymbolizes the fulfillment of the process ofplanetary hominization.

Posthistoric Phase: Violet, purple.

Violet is even more refined than indigo, andwhile the latter is intellectual, violet represents amore intensely psychic and spiritual vibration.Its luminosity is a necessary antidote to the darkdepths of indigo. Containing an element of redin it as well, violet points to a phase of reintegra-tion and synthesis, hence it denotes the adventof radiosonic synthesis.

Purple, containing more-or-less equal mixturesof primal red and intellectual blue, representsthe phase of genuine planetization of conscious-ness, a quality of heightened intuitive perceptionand insight into the laws of nature and the placeof the planet in the galactic community—trulyholonomic.

Beyond the purple sky of the holonomicposthistoric future stretches the planetary rain-bow, a celestial guardian being. While repre-senting the cave and sacred-site-guardingrainbow serpents and dragons of aboriginal andearly hieratic civilization, the rainbow guardianhas always been with us. Like the psi bank that itsymbolizes, its chromatic pattern has alwaysbeckoned us to fulfill our potential. As thesymbol of realization, bliss, and completion, itrepresents the "end-condition" of humanitytotally attuned to and operative with the spec-trum of environmental energies. Such an expres-sion suggests a complete synaesthesia, a condi-tion of complete planetary synthesis almostunthinkable today. Yet it is a condition to whichthe logic of the holonomic equation inescapablypoints.

The structurally inherent musical and chromaticoctaves not only enrich our perspective on thegeomantic/biopsychic pulsation of civilization,but, through their intrinsically harmonic nature,help us begin to understand the emergence ofcivilization and the radiation of man as aspectsof a larger global harmonic—the holonomicequation itself.

With these considerations we may turnagain to the relation between the geomagneticstructure of the earth—plate tectonics—and thecurrent of civilization, the natural flow thatconnects the different pulses in their geochrono-logical order. We see that civilization itself, thematrix of history, is a harmonic developmentresonant with the field of the tectonic plates.Recalling that we are dealing with the elabora-tions of a resonant field model, we may alsoconclude that the pattern of history and thecurrent of civilization are also resonant with theelectromagnetic field, the heaven element of theholonomic equation.

In fact, the civilizational factor in resonancewith the geomagnetic and electromagneticfields is nothing less than the biopsychicdynamic that springs into being the psi bank, thethird term in the global unfolding of theholonomic equation. As we begin to follow theflow of h istory as a function of resonant magneticharmonics, we may then begin to construct amap of the psi bank as the mechanism guidingthe psychocultural evolution of man.

The beginning point of the construction ofthe confluent history/psi bank map is hieraticzero longitude. From this line the globe is natur-ally divided into ninety-degree sections, or fourlongitudinal divisions that run from pole to pole.However, since the magnetic flow is reversed atthe poles, the equatorial midpoint provides themajor latitudinal division. As we know, northand south of the equatorial line the seasons arereversed. Combined with the ninety-degreelongitudinal division, we now have an eight-partdivision of the globe into seasonal psi bankmemory plates. They are referred to as memory

plates in deference to the psi bank's function as aguiding mechanism. Just as the seasons follow ina natural pattern, according to the holonomicrelation of earth and sun, so too do the seasons oihistory unfold according to an underlyingholonomic pattern. And just as the seasonsexhibit irregularities due to shifting weatherpatterns, so too does history.

Thus, in renewed geomantic fashion, wemay now identify the confluent psi bank/civiliza-tional flow divisions of the globe. Beginningwith hieratic zero in the northern hemisphere,we move from spring across the Eurasian plate,through summer in the Pacific, autumn in theNorth American plate, and finally throughwinter in the Atlantic plate, returning again tozero hieratic longitude. The pattern south of theequator is literally reversed, again exhibiting anexample of the cosmic dynamic, the crossoverpolarity.

At the arctic zone of the northern hemi-sphere are indicated the kua of / Ching in the FuHi or celestial, early heaven arrangement, eachforty-five degrees apart. Thus absolute yang isassociated with the summer solstice, absoluteyin with the winter, Li or fire with the springequinox, and K'an, or water, the autumn.

Corresponding to the celestial arrangementin the Northern hemisphere we have indicatedthe earthly or temporal sequential arrangementin the Southern hemisphere. The dates accordedthe kua, however, are those pertaining to thesolar pattern in the Northern hemisphere. As isindicated by these dates, the year is divided intoeight parts, the median points between solsticesand equinoxes, signifying the germinal begin-ning points of the seasons. Thus we see that thecurrent of civilization—the flow of history—ischromatically, resonantly, and seasonallyarticulated.

The basic pattern of the current of civilizationand the psi bank plates was established with theemergence and flourishing of hieratic civiliza-tion from its seven geomagnetic pulse points.Reaching its peak at the completion of thehieratic octave, somewhere around 2000 P.A.,the imperial world of the late hieratic phasebegan to give way to the emergence of a newpsychocultural phase, the cosmopolitanmedieval.

The posthieratic phase characterized by themergingofcivilizational streams in the AfroEura-sian landmass is most distinctively characterizedby the unprecedented rise of three spirituallyreinvigorating forces: Buddhism, Christianity,and Islam.

Given the civilizationally transformativepowers of these three forces, the founders ofthese religions must be ranked among the mostinspirational and influential figures in humanhistory. The three figures of course are: LordGautama Buddha or Sakyamuni Buddha, 2500P.A., Jesus the Christ, 2000 P.A., and Mohammedthe Prophet, 1400 P.A. These three religions arecalled cosmopolitan because they were notbased in tribal or geocultural customs or ways,but appealed to the individual regardless ofculture or race. Hence their spread and functionas a cosmopolitanizing medium for bringingtogether peoples and forces previously separatedby geographical isolation and cultural ideologyor chauvinism.

Graphic indications of the growth andspread of the three cosmopolitan religions is setwithin the context of the psi bank plates andeight seasonal divisions. Here the four longitudi-nal plates are accorded geographical names:AfroEurasian plate, 0-90 degrees; Pacific plate,90-180 degrees; American plate, 180-270degrees, and Atlantic plate, 270-360 degrees.Within these, then, are the flow of the seasonaldivisions in their northern and southern polaritypattern.

What is of significance in contemplatingthis particular map is the observation that, for allintents and purposes, the medieval psychocul-tural phase was basical ly a function or activity ofthe northern spring division of the AfroEurasianplate, hence the designation, "Medieval Cos-mopolitan Complex, from Lindisfarne to Kyoto/'

While the civilizational pulses of the Af-roEurasian plate had engendered the cosmopoli-tan force of the medieval world, with Buddhismspreading into the Pacific plate and Christianityand Islam into the Atlantic plate, the civilizationsof the American plate were experiencing theirperiod of late hieratic synthesis and imperialism.

By 450 P.A., when the Europeans reachedthe late hieratic Mesoamerican and Andeanzones, medieval Christian civilization hadalready begun its rapid transformation into the-modern global-industrial phase. In fact, the swiftconquest of the Mesoamerican and Andeancivilizations were taken as proof of the powerand superiority of the new emerging world-view.As a result, the American civilizations went froma late hieratic to a twilight zone, neithermedieval nor modern, known as colonialism.

Similarly, in Africa, the youngest and last ofthe hieratic pulsations, the Nigerian, hadscarcely attained its pristine golden age whenthe self-transformative forces of the latemedieval and early modern accelerated thepsychocultural process. The period dominatedby the Benin in West Africa, 450-150 P.A.,corresponding to the Aztec and Inca inMesoamerica and the Andes, was the very ast ofthe late second-stage hierati c flowerings. WhenBenin was brought down, Africa, like Centraland South America, entered the twilight zone ofcolonialism.

While the medieval phase has passed, theforces engendering that phase have not. Thus,Christianity has enjoyed a late planetary expan-sion brought on by the rise of global-industrialEuropean imperialism. Buddhism, following thecathartic Hiroshima-point, has begun to spreadfor the first time since its high medieval consoli-dation in Tibet ca. 700 P.A.T he fact that this highmedieval Tibetan stronghold finally collapsed inthe decade following Hiroshima, along withJapanese technological expansionism, has beena major factor in the Pan-Pa cific spread ofBuddhism to North America, as well as toEurope. Finally, in reaction to the enforcedcolonialist policies of Europe, Islam has beenspreading anew, especially in Africa.

Here, as with the preceding map, the flow ofcivilization has been reduced to its essentialmovements within the simple skeletal structureof the eight (4 x 2) seasonal psi bank plates.Whereas the previous map outlined the hieraticyear with its principle CA and subdominant ACflows between 6000 and 2000 P.A., this mapdescribes the posthieratic world. Included arethe principle movements of the three cosmopoli-tan religions, indications of the late hieraticflowerings in Mesoamerican, Andean, andNigerian pulses, and the spread of Europeanglobal-industrial imperialism.

While the hieratic year could be dividedinto four one-thousand-year seasons, the post-hieratic year may be divided into four five-hundred-year seasons. The reason for the shorterseasons of the posthieratic year is to be found inthe acceleration of the information-communica-tion process, which is a direct function of theaccelerating psychosensory elaboration thatcharacterizes the medieval and modern phasesof the historical process. The result is a psychic,if not a real compression of time.

The posthieratic year begins one octave upfrom the hieratic year at longitude zero. Thismarks the commencement of the medievalspring period, running from 2000 P.A. to 1500P.A. While the birth, life, and teachings of LordBuddha, the first cosmopolitan figure, occurred

some five hundred years earlier, such an eventcould appear to be an anomaly were it not forthe appearance of a second such figure, theChrist. Thus it is that posthieratic spring emergesexactly one octave up from where the hieraticyear began. By the end of this period, ca. 1500P.A., Buddhism had spread throughout India,central, and Southeast Asia, thoroughly penetrat-ing late hieratic China as well. Christianity in themeantime had begun to consolidate itself in theold Nilotic/Roman Mediterranean, an easternarm established in Greece, a western arm look-ing toward the barbarically plundered heartlandof Western Europe. ^

During the posthieratic summer, governedby the Pacific plate between 1500 and 1000 P.A.,Buddhism had reached into Japan, and wasbeginning its medieval consolidation in Tibet.The last of the three major figures, Mohammedthe Prophet, had given his word, and by the endof this period a new synthesizing civilization,Islam, had brilliantly transformed the ancientheartlands of the Mesopotamian and Niloticcivilizations. In the Americas, this period markedthe end of the golden age of hieratic civilization,though in Nigeria it saw the emergence of thelate winter flower of the Ife/Yoruba.

The posthieratic autumn, 1000 to 500 P.A.,saw the glorious climax of the medieval civiliza-tion in China, Tibet, Japan, the Islamic MiddleEast, and Gothic Europe. In the Americas at thesame time there was a last brilliant burst of latehieratic imperial splendor in the rise of thesynthesizing Aztec and Inca empires, while inNigeria, the wondrous blossom of the Yorubaexpressed the summation of hieratic idealism inthe bronze foundries of Ife and Benin.

The posthieratic winter solstice 500 P.A.signals the dramatic transformation of themedieval psychocultural pulse into the modern/global-industrial pulsation. Within threehundred years, to ca. 200-150 P.A., Europeancolonies for the acquisition of raw materialgoods had all but put an end to the late medievalor hieratic traditions around the world. Duringthis time the most significant of these colonies,the North American, broke away from the oldEuropean order and established the first indus-trial democracy. This event engendered thepattern of revolution, colonial wars for indepen-dence, and the communist and socialist counter-revolution and guerilla warfare that have sun-dered the world order ever since. The culminat-ing point of the fiery process of global industriali-zation and the consequent hominization of theplanet occurred at Hiroshima when the verymatter of matter had been penetrated, releasingthe awesome luminous vision of the alpha andthe omega of all things. It is in the ashes ofH iroshima that we may begin to find the seeds ofposthistoric vision.

In this concluding map of Part III of theholonomic equation—"Man Transforms Na-ture," we return to the holonomic model of theearth and its electromagnetic field. Here the fourplates and their division into eight seasonal partsare depicted in their actual resonant sphericalrelation to the earth and its magnetic field.

The more detailed map on the left depictsthe flow of civilization within the context of themajor longitudinal divisions, the AfroEurasian,Pacific, American, and Atlantic plates, and theircorresponding fourfold division in the psi bank,located within the radiation belts. The actual psibank plates are referred to as holonomic recol-lection plates, while their corresponding geo-graphical equivalents are referred to as psiseasonal resonance field memory plates. Alsoindicated in the left-hand map are the geographi-cal sites corresponding to the temporal or se-quential arrangement of the kua of / Ching,starting with the spring equinox, northern hemi-sphere, along hieratic longitude zero. In thediagram to the right, which shows more fullyand simply the relation of earth to the elec-tromagnetic fields and psi bank, the kua arearranged in their earlier or celestial/elec-tromagnetic relation to each other.

As we have seen, what we refer to as historyis actually a function of a much larger, integra-tive global harmonics. The guiding factor of thishistoric harmonic is the psi bank with itsholonomic recollection plates. Each of theseplates may be envisioned as carrying and/orsimultaneously containing levels of informationthat connect stages of organic/cyclical seasonalgrowth; geocultural information—psions—aswell as information concerning successive andcumulative stages of the psychocultural pro-cess—history itself.

What this points to is the study of history asa geological subfield in an overall study of

psychoatmospheric harmonics as monitored bythe guiding factor, the psi bank. Thus, in order tobetter understand and evaluate "what happenedin history," it is best first to understand theguiding function, structure, and nature of the psibank itself.

IV: Nature Evaluates Man'sTransformation

Prelude:The Psi Bankand the Codeof History

Having seen that man's transformation ofnature is nothing less than the process ofcivilizational advance, history, we reachthat moment—some four decades after thecommencement of the atomic age—whenwe may declare that the purpose of historyhas been fulfilled: the radiation of man, thehominization of the planet, the establish-ment of an actual global electronervoussystem—and the means for total destruc-tion—all have been achieved. We mustthen ask: What next? Where do we go fromhere?

Before we attempt an answer, weshould consider the following: civilizationwas no calculated plan; history was never astrategy. Yet there is purpose in all that hasoccurred; in everything accomplished therehas been a sense of some kind of order, of adirection to which it has all pointed. But thepurpose, the order, was always much larger,much greater than any single human oreven group of humans could envision. Thesame holds true for the present moment, theend of history.

If we say it is beyond any single orgroup will to determine "where we go fromhere/' that is not to say that there is nodirection or purpose. In the logic ofholonomy the purpose is already providedin the natural—the sacred—order of things.Civilization as a global phenomenon wasengendered by the natural conditions of theplanet as an already unified but evolvingfield. History has been but the middle termof an equation needing a fully consciousbiopsychic organism—man—to fulfill theonce-unconscious imperative of planetarydestiny.

We have thus reached the end point ofhistory, and nature provides the evaluation.This evaluation is the conscious articulationof the psi bank. Learning once again fromwhat is presented, we advance to the post-historic condition, the synthesizing ofhuman culture and natural order, the plan-etization of consciousness.

Thus far we have seen how the natural flow ofthe seasons, in conjunction with the geomagne-tic structure of the earth and the electromagneticfields of the heavens, describes both the psycho-cultural field of civilization and the basic struc-ture of the psi bank. We have also seen how theprogression of civilization (history) through thehieratic and posthieratic stages is an organicco-creation of the basic matrix pattern of the psibank.

In its essentials, the psi bank consists of fourlongitudinal holonomic memory plates, equato-rially divided into eight seasonal memory plates.This gives us the basic overall design. It shouldbe recalled that the psi bank warp (Map 1)consists of a fourfold longitudinal pattern aswell, corresponding to the pattern/image atwhich we have now arrived through followingthe course of history. We then see that thegeochronological flow of civilization, runninglaterally as it does, provides the basic woofthread to the psi bank.

Further articulation is provided to the psibank when we divide each of the eight seasonalmemory plates into three parts each, for a total oftwenty-four sections of psionic nimboid mem-branes. Nimboid refers to precipitation-bearingphenomena, like clouds. The nimboid mem-brane divisions, occurring at the thirty- andsixty-degree latitudes north and south, corres-pond in atmospheric studies to the tropopauses.

The function of the tropopause is the gener-ation of jet streams responsible for dramaticalterations in weather patterns. North and southof the sixty-degree latitudes lie the arctic andantarctic zones, just as the areas between thethirty-degree latitudes are the generally tropicalzones. Between the tropopauses lie the temper-ate zones. In atmospheric studies these zonesacquire the term "leaves."

The term "psionic nimboid membrane"has the following meaning: high saturation, psiinformation-bearing, biopsychic "weather"

patterns. Encoded in these membranes are thefundamental genetic memory patterns of thetotal holonomic recollection process—thosepatterns responsible, for instance, for the identi-cal coding of / Ching and DNA.

In our discussion of the atmospheric corres-pondence, we may speak of psychopauses, andof hieratic and shamanic/aboriginal leaves. Justas the jet streams cause dramatic shifts in theweather pattern of the lower atmosphere, so thepsychopauses may be viewed as the zoneswhere major psychoatmospheric weather frontsare generated. These are of two kinds: theshamanic or aboriginal, and the hieratic, i.e.either of the AC (shamanic) of CA (hieratic)currents. The leaves or psionic membranes, inaddition to possessing information storagewhich can be biopsychically precipitated (hencethe term "nimboid") represent general charac-teristics that moderate and control psychocul-tural conditions.

There is not necessarily a one-to-onecorrespondence between psionic membraneand geography. Rather, we can speak of direc-tions or tendencies of AC and CA currents. TheAC tendency is to flow from the direction of themagnetic poie toward the equator; the CAtendency is to flow the opposite way. Thus it canbe seen that in the twenty-four-part structure ofthe psionic membranes, eight of the leaves arepolar or aboriginal/shamanic, eight are purelyhieratic or equatorial. The remaining eight, theextrahieratic leaves, signify the temperate zonesof psychocultural development, i.e. zoneswhere the essential crossover polarity of AC/CAcurrents operates.

As an expression of resonance with the morerarefied factors of the terrestrial atmosphere, thetwenty-four-part psionic membrane structure ofthe psi bank reflects the coding pattern of earth,the gravitational field of the holonomic model.Functioning within the two radiation belts of theelectromagnetic field, the psi bank is also reso-nantly determined by extraterrestrial factors,most important, the sun.

As the source and sustainer of life, the sun isso obviously fundamental to our existence thatits actual influence is easily overlooked, espe-cially as the process of psychosensory elabora-tion becomes the major conditioning factor inour experience. Sun worship, which so univer-sally characterized the pristine hieratic stage ofcivilization, was not a fearful, superstitious act,but one grounded in a meaningful perceptionand experience of the role the sun plays inrelation to the earth.

As we now know, the sun is also a star, amassive furnace of energy with its own intrinsicinternal organic cycles. The most significant ofthese cycles, the patterns of which have anactual, visible effect upon us, are the so-calledsunspot cycles. The movement of these magneticspots, which continues unceasingly, producescumulative electromagnetic effects upon theradiation belt expressed periodically in theupper atmosphere as aurorae, and in the loweratmosphere as disruptions of radio waves.

Given the holonomic principle of mutualresonance, we may be certain that there areconnections between the magnetic fluctuationsof the sun, the radiation belts and atmosphere,and the psi bank. The image on the left-handside depicts the solar orb divided like the psibank into thirty-degree latitudes. Within this orbis a graphic description of the movement of thesunspots in their cyclical periodicity. What isimmediately striking is that the total movementof the sunspots is a perfect mirror of the cosmicdynamic, the binary crossover polarity pattern.

Moving in binary pairs, beginning at thethirty-degree latitudes north and south of thesolar equator, one spot is positively charged, theother negatively. Over a period that averages11.3 years, these two binary spots slowly pulseinward until they meet at the solar equator.When this occurs there is a jump, the polarity isswitched, and the spots—now in oppositeplaces—begin their movement at thirty degreesnorth and south through another approximately11.3-year cycle.

Though the complete cycle is about 22.6years, it is at the 11.3-year crossover polaritypoints that the effects of the sunspots attainmaximum effect in the earth's magnetic fieldand upper atmosphere. As the cycle runs itscourse, the outer radiation belt becomes satu-rated with negative solar electrons. Correspond-ing to the moment of crossover polarity, theoversaturated outer belt rains solar radiationdown upon the earth. The most visible effect ofthis unique solar-terrestrial synchronization isthe manifestation of the aurora borealis and theaurora australis in the vicinity of the north andsouth magnetic poles respectively.

The right-hand diagram shows the psi banksuperimposed upon the earth, with the notationsof the Mayan calendar in the magnetic field.Translated into terrestrial terms, the 11.3-yearsunspot cycle reversal represents a leap from thetropic/hieratic leaf to the arctic/shamanic zone.Psychoculturally this event corresponds to aninfusion of shamanic AC currents into the temp-erate zones in exchange for a rush of hieratic CAcurrents. Though such an exchange, amountingto a biopsychic aurora, may go undetected, wedo have resonant clues for where such occur-rences might have been monitored and regu-lated in the earlier stage of history when knowl-edge through attunement was still a dominantmode. A civilizational pulse operating in thetropic/hieratic leaf, i.e. within thirty degrees ofthe equator, could track the resonant binarypulsations and be the direct recipient of thecorresponding psi precipitations and periodicbiopsychic auroral jump-starts.

This points directly to the binary hieratictwins, the Mesoamerican and Andean civiliza-tional pulses. Among the Maya north of theequator the tool developed for recording thebinary pulsation of the sunspots was the sacredcalendar, with its cycle of thirteen units repeatedtwenty times for a total of 260 days. Sixteen ofthese Tzolkin cycles comprise an 11.3- yearperiod, the time for one major binary sunspotcycle to complete itself. The pulsations of eachof the binary spots would account for eightTzolkin apiece, the same number of Tzolkin thatcomprise the psi bank warp (Map 1). From thisinformation it is possible to conclude that theMayans, expert calendar makers, sun worship-pers par excellence, in devising the sacredcalendar for whatever purposes, were actuallyrecording in binary code form both the pulsationof sunspot cycle activity and the warp texture ofthe psi bank.

The Mayans and their Mesoamerican kin,through precise attunement and devotion to thesun and related celestial cycles, represent theterrestrial correspondence to but a single sunspotmovement, the north equatorial one. As thesunspots are binary, operating within thirty-de-gree latitudes north and south of the equator, sowe should anticipate a complementary bipolarsolar calendar south of the terrestrial equatorcorresponding to the southern sunspot move-ment.

This south equatorial solar calendar is to befound on the Gate of the Sun, the chief feature ofthe site now known as Tihuanaco, the mysteri-ous high region of the Andes. Like the 260-daycalendar of the Mesoamerican civilizationalpulse, the monumental stone-hewn site ofTihuanaco has long baffled and mystified arch-eologists, giving rise to numerous fantastictheories. The principal reason for the mystery isthe altitude of this site. At 12,596 feet above sealevel, Tihuanaco is unique among man's arch-itectural efforts. Little grows at this altitude, sothe idea that Tihuanaco was an urban center inthe usual sense of the word presents problems.

However, if we consider Tihuanaco as ahieratic solar research center, then its altitudemakes more sense. The altitude, for an erapredating satellites and rocket ships, is perfectfor solar investigation, particularly if the chieftool of study isthe finely tuned human organism.The results of the high-altitude solar investiga-

tions are carved into the monolithic Gate of theSun, the single most outstanding artistic/scien-tific monument of Andean civilization.

The information presented on the Gate ofthe Sun is intensely synthesized and simply,undeviatingly symmetrical. By commonacknowledgement, the carvings represent acalendar. As we see on this map, there is amonumental central figure, often identified withthe solar-creator-deity culture hero, Kon TikiViracocha, holding two serpent-condor scepters.He stands on a bilateral condor/puma/serpentpedestal that surmounts a horizontal meanderband whose folds enclose eleven heads, quitesimilar to the head of the chief figure. Theserpentine meander form is a variant of thecelestial feathered serpent, with double condorheads at either end. The two trumpet-blowingfigures enclosed at either end are often inter-preted as representations of the solstices, an-nouncing the sun's turning points. The elevensmaller figures along with the twelfth larger oneare usually interpreted as signifying the twelvesolar months. Whatever the particulars of in-terpretation, the calendar of the Gate of the Sunat Tihuanaco is singular, if only for the fact that itis the most remarkable monument of the Andeancivilization, the only hieratic pulse south of theequator.

It is precisely this south polar aspect that isof importance for this map. Integrated with theMayan Tzolkin, six columns each of which areon either side of the central Tihuanaco figure,the two calendars may be understood as a singlebipolar calendar matrix reflecting the cyclicalpulsations of the sun and its binary sunspotmovements.

While the Mayan calendar presents thesimple repetitions of thirteen units in cycles of

twenty, the Tihuanaco calendar emphasizes thelarger rhythmic pattern of thirteen. Thoughcomprised of twelve main units, the centralfigure counts for both one and thirteen, alphaand omega. Reading below this main figure tothe left, we have, in alternating units figures two,three and four, the solstice. Returning in alternat-ing manner are the figures five through nine,arriving at the next solstice figure, ten. A finalreturn with figures eleven and twelve brings usagain to the large Viracocha figure, thirteen.

It is to be noted that the seventh figure isdirectly beneath the central alpha and omegafigure, signifying numbers 1 and 13. The centralaxis thus corresponds to the mystic column, theseventh of the thirteen columns in the Mayancalendar, which we see slipping down behindthe head of the central Tihuanaco figure. Likethe central solar figure representing 1 and 1 3,these two numbers are at the very center of themystic column. In the bipolar calendar matrixonly thirteen units of the mystic column arevisible, the other seven being within the centralsolar figure.

Finally, since it contains the matrix fromwhich the binary triplet and the crossoverpolarity are derived, the bipolar calendar servesas an integral description of the holonomic codeof time. What it also demonstrates in com-prehensive manner is the way in which the keyprimary numbers seven and thirteen "fit" withbinary progression figures and their multiples,including two, four, eight, twelve, and sixteen.

The bipolar psi bank calendar matrix describesthe code regulating the equatorial binary sunspotcrossover and the consequent polar activitymanifest as the aurorae, considered as a singleunified phenomenon. The result is theholonomic code of time, an effect that could notbe predicted nor predicated by either theMayans or the Tihuanacos alone. This is not tosay, however, that their work did not occur inbiopsychic conjunction, since the building ofTiahuanaco and the golden age of Mayanmathematics and astronomy were coinciden-tal—2000 to 1200P.A.

That the Mayans and the Tihuanacos werepsychomathematically monitoring the relationsbetween solar activity and the equatorial/polarrelation that underlies the structure of both theelectromagnetic field (radiation belts) and thepsi bank is a vital factor in considering thestructure of the psi bank.

Historically, the next link comes throughBenjamin Franklin and the magic square of 8.When we consider Franklin's pivotal role inestablishing the industrial democracy ofAmerica—Francis Bacon's "New Atlantis"—and that Franklin was the first Grand Master ofthe first order of the mystical Free Masonsestablished in North America, not to mention hisinterest in electricity and electromagnetism, it isnot so surprising that the magic square of 8 withpulse of 260 should have come through him.

Given the nature of the bipolar calendar matrixand its key to the number 260, it is also importantto note that Franklin himself conjectured that theaurora borealis was the result of electrifiedtropic air carried to the north pole, becomingvisible as light in the vacuum above the pole.

Here we present again Franklin's magicsquare of 8 with the corresponding / Ching/DNAcodon designations accounting for the twentyamino acids. Possessing a pulse of 260 (20 x13), the key number of the Tzolkin, the magicsquare provides a link between the two keywhole numbers, 8 and 13, the number of theoctave, 8, and the number of the chromaticscale, 13, contained within the octave. As wehave also seen jMap 8) the magic square of 8also possesses throughout its structure thedynamic of the binary crossover polarity. Finally,consisting of eight leaves or templates of threeparts each, we note that the magic square posses-ses the exact same structure as that of the psibank with its leaves and bipolar division bythirty-degree latitudes.

Thus we find the magic square, besidesproviding the code number structure for / Ching/DNA, also conforms to the global structure ofthe psi bank with its four longitudinal plates,eight seasonal leaves and twenty-four psionicnimboid membranes. That the magic square of 8also contains the pulse number 260, with itsbase of 13, further connects it with the bipolarpsi bank calendar matrix, the holonomic code oftime.

If the 260-unit Tzolkin or Sacred Calendaris the key matrix to the warp of the psi bank, thenthe 64-unit matrix of the magic square is a clueto the nature of the psi bank woof. Reduced toessentials, the number 13 is the key to thevertical, or longitudinal psi bank code, and 8 thekey to the horizontal or latitudinal code.

While 13 is an irreducible prime number, 8is derived from 2 and 4, and so therefore pro-vides great flexibility in being connected to allmultiples of 2 and 4. These include numbers 12,16, 24, 32, 36, 48, 64, etc. Thus we see that theintegrative quality of the bipolar calendar matrixis derived from the combination of the base-13Mayan, and the base-12 (8 + 4, 3 x 4),Tihuanaco calendars.

Finally, in consideration of Franklin'sinestimable historical position as a psi banklightning rod, we should mention the Masoni-cally inspired Great Seal of the United States, inwhose design Franklin had some role. In thedepiction of both the great pyramid and theeagle, the number 52 (13 x 4) comprises theunderlying structure and symbolism. That themystical 13 appears so prominently in theofficial seal of the bastion of industrialmaterialism is a matter that can only provokefurther reflection on the nature of history and

inquiry into the psi bank itself.

Evidence of the latitudinal or horizontal functionof the pattern of eight—the magic square of eightas the psi bank matrix—becomes totally manifestwhen we demonstrate the underlying relation-ship of the numbers in sequential relationship.What appears is a pattern of perfect symmetry inevery respect, the template of psychoculturaltransformation, the holonomic recollectioncircuit itself.

The bilateral division into northern andsouthern hemispheres is accomplished in thefollowing manner: the numbers 1 through 8 andthe numbers 9 through 16 clearly form twodistinct weaves in the northern hemisphere ofthe total circuit. A major crossover occurs to thesouthern hemisphere, consisting of four distinctpattern-weaves: seventeen through twenty-four,twenty-five through thirty-two, thirty-threethrough forty, and forty-one through forty-eight.The crossover from forty-eight to forty-ninecomplements and reverses the flow that occursbetween sixteen and seventeen. Also, by thetime the pattern reaches forty-eight, the entireweave of the southern hemisphere has beencompleted. What follows then are the twopenultimate and final stages, pattern forty-nineto fifty-six, and the final fifty-seven to sixty-four.

What is clearly manifest is that the totalstructure of sixty-four units of the psi matrixdivide perfectly into eight distinct subweaves.The second feature is the overall process: thefirst two stages are completed in the upperhemisphere, then the next four comprise thesouthern hemisphere, fol lowed by a return to theupper hemisphere, where the last two weavesare finally finished. In other words, we have athree-stage process completed within twosymmetrical mirror-reflected patterns—thebinary triplet pattern once again.

Keeping in mind that the pattern providedby the numbers is the matrix of the genetic codeand / Ching, as well as that of a psi bank/elec-tromagnetic global field, all cued and integratedthrough a primary binary triplet configurationwith its dynamic—the crossover polarity—we

may develop a more comprehensive descriptionof this pattern as the template of psychoculturaltransformation.

To begin with, there is the DNA doublehelix analogy. Like DNA, this template consistsof two strands, one of them possessing theinformation pattern of both strands. This corres-ponds to the upper template, which containsboth the beginning and the end—1 and 64—thealpha and the omega of the process. It is alsonotable that the alpha and the omega, beginningand end, conjoined, are right next to each other.Given the dynamic of the binary pulse of history,comprised of the interaction of two information-processing currents, the AC (visionary corre-sponding to the primary DNA strand) and the CA(derivative/cumulative) we may define theupper or northern hemisphere as the AC

template and the southern as the CA template.Given that the CA current is responsible for thephenomenon known as civilization and theprocess of history itself, we may conclude thatstages one through sixteen (AC) correspond tothe prehistoric stage, seventeen through forty-eight (CA), the stage of history, and forty-ninethrough sixty-four (AC), posthistory.

Like the tri-part kua of / Ching, this three-part division of history unfolds as eight distinctweaves, the eight stages of holonomic recollec-tion, consisting of sixty-four kua, in eight con-secutive series of eight kua each. From this wesee that the upper template, the AC, is thetemplate of pre- and posthistory, and the lower,that of history itself. The eight stages ofholonomic recollection break down into thefollowing arrangement:

Prehistoric1-8 Aboriginal emergent: the deep past.9-16 Aboriginal generative: the near past and historically concurrent "aborigines,"

i.e. Australians, Eskimos, etc.Historic1 7—24 Hieratic pristine: the seven pristine civilizations in their pure emergent development.25-32 Hieratic imperial: the expansive later stage of the ancient world.33-40 Medieval Cosmopolitan. \41-48 Global-industrial: the modern world.Posthistoric49-56 Radiosonic: sensory fusion technology—the near future.57—64 Holonomic: protogalactic community, the distant future.

In our brief consideration of the template ofpsychocultural transformation, we see that"history" representsbreak away from theprimal pattern, completing in the southern orlower template what was only suggested in theupper template. Remembering that the spread ofcivilization and the process of history are actu-ally descriptive of the radiation of man/homini-zation of the planet, we see that the return to theprimary template—posthistory—is the inevita-ble evolutionary stage that occurs once homini-zation is complete.

Since the two templates bear a generic, ifnot a holonomically genetic, similarity to thetwo halves of the brain—the two cerebral hemis-pheres joined by but a slight strip of connectivemuscular tissue, the corpus callosum—it seemsappropriate to refer to the two crossover pointsof the psychocultural transformation templateby a similar name: the corpus callosum ofhistory.

Corresponding to hieratic zero longitude,the corpus callosum of history represents thetwo critical crossover points in the hominizationof the planet—the radiation of man: the passageto history, initiatio, and the passage from history,return. It is notable that the alpha and omegapoints are also on the same longitude as thecorpus callosum of history, the hieratic longitudesignified by the Great Pyramid of Egypt.

The corpus callosum initiatio represents theactual jump-start of the CA current, civilizationaladvance, and refers to the means by which thehominization of the planet was to be physicallyaccomplished. This is not to downplay thespiritual elements ripened and refined duringthe process of hominization/history, but merelyto point to the fact that the radiation of man hadfirst to become, through material diffusion ofcivilization, a physical reality.

Once the process of hominization has beencompleted, the CA template woven altogether,the "end" of history is reached. This is the mean-ing of the twentieth century. With the crossing ofthe corpus callosum, return, the true radiation ofman can begin. This is the meaning of the returnto the AC template, which is about to com-mence.

Having accomplished a physical transfor-mation of the planet through the culminatingmaterial intensity of industrialization, the costhas been high: holonomic amnesia, loss of theinherent sense of unity, forgetful ness if notignorance of the fact that, although the CA hasbeen completed, the AC is still to be finished.Because of this loss, the imminent process ofbiopsychic radiation begins with an imperativerestorative healing process—hence, holonomicrecollection: the recovery of the sense of unityand wholeness—sacred order—from which weactually never departed.

The fulfillment of the whole process isv

described by the right-hand image, theradiosonic template, the whole pattern com-plete. We may get a more precise understandingof the corpus callosum initiatio and return from abrief reading of the kua or hexagrams corre-sponding to the numbers 16 and 17, initiatio,and 47 through 50, return.Hexagram 16:Enthusiasm shows thunder rising out of theearth, and represents music, order, mass move-ment to accomplish great ends in a highlyorganized manner—as befits the commence-ment of the actual civilizing process.Hexagram 17:Following shows thunder beneath the sign for abody of water, joy, and metal; indicates that theactivating power is now within, the tools andattitude for accomplishing the process are on theoutside and ready; thunder as sunrise (east) andmetal as sunset (west) also indicate vision ofbeginning and end.

While the jump from prehistory to history isaccomplished in two movements going frompole to pole, the return requires four movementsto transit from CA south to AC north pole.Hexagram 47:Exhaustion shows water draining out from alake, the sapping away of vital energy. Thus, itdescribes spiritual exhaustion, holonomicamnesia. Since the upper image also signifiesmetal or weapons, and the lower, danger, thekua points to a warlike situation.Hexagram 48:The Well. At the beginning of the return, the lastimage of the CA template describes the necessityfor providing spiritual nourishment, which isalways present. It also points to the fact that youcannot go halfway.Hexagram 49:Revolution (Molting). The first image the otherside of the crossing to fhe AC template describescomplete revolution, setting the calendar inorder and making the seasons clear. This isrevolution that functions as the purifying, cleans-ing, restorative aspect of holonomic recollec-tion.Hexagram 50:Transformation (The Cauldron). The return tothe AC template accomplished, the image ofwood giving off fire signifies the transition tomore purely psychic and spiritual forces as thegoverning factors in the radiation of man, thecosmic consecration without which the processof hominization would have been a meaninglessexercise. This also signifies the stage at whichthe radiosonic template can be implemented asthe basis of a new technology.

We are now ready to present the code of historyas an orderly sequence of biopsychic transfor-mation. Each of the horizontal rows representsfrom top to bottom one of the eight stages ofholonomic recollection, indicated along theright-hand side. On the left-hand side are indi-cated the three general stages marked by themovements from AC to CA and then back to theAC template. Thus the first two rows representthe prehistoric stage; the next four rows theactual stage of history, and the final two rows thestage of posthistory.

The entire code is vertically defined by fourprogressive stages: 1) genetic presentation, 2)learning pattern, 3) application/transformation,and 4) evaluation synthesis. Thus, though eachof the eight stages represents a unique set ofcircumstances cumulatively built up from thepreceding stage, each stage may also beanalyzed in terms of the common four-partprocess. It will be noted that the stages of verticalanalysis proceed through movements of binarypairs, which also provides the basis of definitioninto a four-part progressive process.

To aid in contemplation and study of thecode of history, we give here a brief definition ofthe four vertical stages of analysis. Derived from

the geomantic description of the process of"nature-evolving—man-transforming-into-higher-nature/' this four-part formula proceedsas follows:

/. Genetic presentation. The first binary pair ofany stage represents the basic material andinformation configuration that must be de-veloped. This binary pair defines and limits theparticular historic stage, yet carries within it thepotential of the total process.

2. Learning pattern. Indicates what to learnfrom, how to learn, and what to expect.

3. Application/transformation. Indicates thenature of what actually occurs through applyingwhat has been learned.

4. Evaluation synthesis. Indicates the results ofthe transformation as well as the seeds prepara-tory to the nex: stage of transformation.

While the preceding map gives a very precisedescription for the code of history through thesixty-four stages of binary language of biopsy-chic transformation and is intended as a guidefor study and contemplation, this map presentsthe sequence in the more simple and synthesizedcode of Mayan notation.

It is described as a holonomic field patternbecause the sequence of the notation subsumesthe biopsychic, genetic/historic patterns. As aholonomic field pattern, it is the code and imageof an all-encompassing matrix. What seems realand important to us in the present moment, is,finally, the scintillating blip of a pattern that is atonce enormous and beyond any scale that mindcould grasp, and yet fantastically, humiliatinglysimple. Omnipresent, transparent, showing inand through everything, the holonomic fieldpattern requires but one condition for its com-prehension: an awareness stripped of anypreconceptions, a mind that is totally void of egoor selfishness.

At the edge of timerain comes, clouds hover

then dissipate—above the mountains, starsbeyond the stars

ten thousand thousand dreamsburst through a crystalline nettoo wide to measure—

Presented here is the complete psi bank woof,the lateral pattern of base 8 running perpendicu-lar to the warp of base 13. While the four longitu-dinal patterns of the warp are resonant with thebinary solar magnetic pulsation, hence its matrixbase as the Tzolkin—Mayan calendar—thewoof is resonant with the binary DNA/biopsy-chic pulsation, hence its matrix base manifest as/ Ching.

In this map, the sequence of sixty-four kuaoccurs in blocks of eight, corresponding to theeight stages of holonomic recollection or codeof history. The two lateral divisions with fourblocks each correspond to the AC upper, and theCA lower, templates. The first stage, aboriginalemergent, is top-left of center, and the last stage,holonomic, is adjacent to it, top-right of center.Thus the movement begins with A (alpha) top ofcenter and proceeds counter-clockwise incircuit fashion to omega, just above the center ofthe entire woof matrix. At the far left equator isthe corpus callosum initiatio, far right, corpuscallosum return.

Each block of eight is divided into fourbinary stages corresponding to the four geoman-tic stages of progression. The t'ai ch'i or yin/yangsymbol is derived in a fashion that runs polar tothe total order of movement; that is, while thegeneral movement of this arrangement iscoun-terclockwise, the t'ai ch'i runs clockwise. Theyin, or AC, half circles down on the right side, its"eye" consisting of a CA pulsation. The yang, orCA, circles up on the left-hand side, its "eye" anAC pulsation.

The unique aspect of the psi bank woof isundoubtedly the manner in which each of thesixty-four kua comprising the code of historyruns through thirteen permutations. As can beseen, the same kua stands at the beginning andend of each row. The manner of transformationis simple: beginning with the left-hand side,each line is transformed into its binary opposite,moving up one line each per vertical column.Thus, the kua within the seventh vertical columnis always the exact binary opposite of its originalform. The process of changing one line percolumn continues until the original kua isachieved once again in the thirteenth column.The seventh column in this arrangement, as withthe Tzolkin, is thus the mystic column thatprovides the line-up key for weaving the warpand the woof.

The kua in the mystic column of each of theeight blocks or stages of holonomic recollectionprovide further critical information regardingthe inner nature of each of the eight stages ofhistory. Thus, for each of the four binary sets ofeight kua in the mystic column of ̂ adroftheeight stages of history, is written in Mayannotation the stage to which that binary pair isnative. Furthermore, the four derived numberseach correspond to the four stages of geomanticprogression. This gives us an inner readingof theparticular historic stage. From this inner readingwe determine whether that stage was conserva-tive, progressive, or retrogressive.

What follows is a read-out of correspondinghistoric stages of the inner column of each of theeight stages, as well as a qualitative evaluation.

7. Aboriginal emergent 1,7,5,2 Progressive2. Aboriginal generative 2,2,1,2 Conservative3. Hieratic pristine 3,5,6,6 Progressive4. Hieraticlmpgrial . 6,4,4,6 Progressive5. Cosmopolitan religious 3,1,5,5 Conservative6. Global industrial 4,3,4,3 Retrogressive7. Radiosonic 1,8,7,8 Progressive8. Holonomic 7,7,8,8 Conservative

A study of the pattern presented here isproductive of numerous insights regarding theunderlying nature of the historic hominizationprocess. The first stage, aboriginal emergent, forinstance, is quite visionary, with its secondbinary set, 49/50, corresponding to the learningstage, leaping ahead to the seventh or posthis-toric radiosonic stage. Also of significance is thefact that the global-industrial stage alone is bothretrogressive in its inner core, and without abinary set based in its own stage. All the otherstages have at least one binary set representingthat very stage. This accounts for the totallydissynchronous nature of the present or cul-minating stage of the historical process, which,as we have observed, represents both holonomicamnesia and a loss of sacred view.

Of all of the mythic patterns generated duringthe emergent hieratic phase of global civiliza-tion, none so clearly typifies the pre-vision of thetotal process of "civilization/hominization/re-turn" than that of the feathered serpent, Quetzal-coatl/Kukulkan, of ancient Mesoamerica.

From earliest times the serpent (representingprimary genetic emergence, power, and know-ledge) has gripped the human imagination in amost powerful manner. Combined in somefashion with feathers or celestial attributes, theterrestrial reptilian beast is transformed into adragon, symbolizing thunder, electrical energy,the power of change, and transformation itself.Finally, the rainbow, equally universal, hasforever inspired the mind with premonitions ofsynthesis and a blissfully dematerialized, lumin-ously complete condition of being. Manifestingas the rainbow feathered serpent, these elemen-tal images in combination comprise a completepsychogenetic pattern/symbol of the process ofhistory and evolution.

This particular pattern, its color-codingchromatically keyed to the geochronologicalflow (Map 23), is derived from the ancient site ofXochicalco (ca. 1000 P.A.), where it adorned theside of a pyramidal temple structure. The mythicpattern of Quetzalcoatl, whom this image-pat-tern commemorates, is essentially as follows:Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent, is both acelestial pattern of totality and a temporal,historic hero-quest. As celestial pattern, thecosmic Quetzalcoatl may be equated with thetotality of the primal psychogenetic loop formedby the double helix, the crossover polaritydynamic, or the symmetry pattern of the EarlyHeaven arrangement of / Ching. As temporalhierarchic hero-quest, Quetzalcoatl representsthe organic pattern of DNA in its evolutionaryprocess, or the Later Heaven arrangement of thekua. The purpose of the historic hierarchic herois to become one with the cosmic template. Inthe effort to become at one with the cosmicpattern lies the heroic unfolding of history. Let usrecapitulate here the mythic stages of the hierar-chic hero, Quetzalcoatl.

1. Primal knowledge bearer, culture hero,practitioner of the arts and sciences, healer,prophet, spiritual sage. In this preliminary stage,Quetzalcoatl corresponds to the prehistoricaboriginal shamanic figure as an embodiment ofwisdom.

2. Quetzalcoatl, founder of the primal hierar-chic urban center, Tollan. Here Quetzalcoatl isthe hieratic civilizer, the high priest; his city isbased on the pattern of heaven, the cosmos—itis fourfold, with fourfold palaces. This representsthe golden age of hieratic pristine civilization.

3. The temptation and fall of Quetzalcoatl.Quetzalcoatl is overcome by dark magicians,priests of time, who trick and deceive him,representing the decadence of the hieraticimperial stage.

4. The awakening and departure of Quetzal-coatl. Waking up from what has befallen nim,Quetzalcoatl purifies himself, issues a call to hispeople, leaves Tollan, spreads his messagewherever he goes, arrives at the place of dawn(wisdom) and departs. This represents themedieval/cosmopolitan stage.

5. Prophecy of return. Before departing, Quet-zalcoatl prophesies that he shall return, that onthe day sacred to him Tollan shall be redeemed.Then he departs on a raft of serpents sailing easttoward the sun. This represents the global-indus-trial stage, which is without the actual presenceof Quetzalcoatl, i.e. without sacred view, in acondition of holonomic amnesia.

6. The return. Signifies the process ofholonomic recollection engendered at thecritical point in the imminent fu:ure when thereturn of Quetzalcoatl manifests as the reawak-ening of sacred view and the reestablishment ofsacred order. This corresponds to the movementfrom kua 48 to kuas 49 and 50 in the returnacross the corpus callosum of history to the ACtemplate.

In the presentation here against the psi bankwoof we see the rainbow feathered serpent, hishead and tongue in the prehistoric aboriginalphase, his body proper extending across the CAtemplate of history, his tail curving back aroundthe AC template, feathers touching his bifurcated,tongue completing the circuit of nolonomicrecollection. Like the Ouroboros, the serpentthat bites its own tail of the Pythagorean tradi-tion, the rainbow feathered serpent is self-healed.

V: Man and Nature Synthesize

Ancient Science,Future Magic

"Nature Evaluates Man's Transformation" istraditionally the last stage of the geomanticdescription. However, in view of the factthat nature is ongoing, and that what hasthus far presented itself as history has inactuality been the hominization of theplanet, we still have a final term to d e a l ,with the future, posthistory.

Essentially the future lies in the radia-tion of man. This refers first of all to theprocess by which each individual assumedresponsibility for all of his or her actions,and with a heightened awareness partici-pates in increasingly integrated group effortsto establish a consciously-oriented relation-ship between biopsychic energy factors andthose of the environment. In the most gen-eral way this describes the new symbiotictechnology, radiosonics, the basis of post-historic synaesthesia.

While such ideas may seem to lie far inthe future, the present process of actualevaluation having hardly begun, it isnevertheless important to lay out theguidelines at this very moment. Anythingthat has ever been achieved has begun witha thought, an idea, a purposive impulse. But

even before there could be an idea pointingout a new direction for man, there had to bea receptivity, and an attunement in thedirection the idea has pointed. Only in thisway, with the proper attitude established,could the right resonant factors be in placeto precipitate both the new idea as well asthe willingness to go along and work withthe new idea, making it an actual reality.

Consider electricity. Through themanifestation of lightning, awareness ofelectrical energy had been present since thedawn of culture. However, electricity be-came channeled only after the efforts ofmen like Ben Franklin opened the way tothe possibility that it could be of everydayuse. The same is true with radiosonics. Psifactors—coincidences and syn-chronicities—have always been present.But to channel the information patternunderlying these psi factors for everyday usehas rarely been considered. It is in theinterest of helpingfosterthe mental receptiv-ity to consider the possibility ofradiosonics—the synthesis of man andnature—that the concluding maps of theholonomic equation are presented.

Over a mountain landscape, beneath the starryfield of endless sky, rises the spirit figure ofbinary unity present upon so many of thesepages, a playful form—haunting, mocking,timeless. To the left of him a floating grid inter-sects a circle, transparent, abstract, yet im-mediate. The grid contains—in Mayan nota-tion—the psi bank matrix arrangement of thecode of biopsychic transformation. The circle,an echo of a smaller galactic pattern to the rightof it, is theresonantfield model. Moving laterallyacross the grid and resonant field model is thelooping, loping pattern of the civilizational flowprocess of a single planet of an otherwise ordi-nary star-system in a far-flung arm of a typicalspiral galaxy, in an intermediate zone of auniverse, simultaneously expanding and feedingback upon itself.

As we have already suggested, theholonomic recollection process is withoutauthor. All that appears is self-existing; all thathappens is self-appearing. At the point in historyin which we find ourselves, we are driven byleaders who have little inklingthatwhatappeaso solid and worth fighting and even destroyingthe world for is but the terminal residue of a

single stage in an evolutionary process that is farfrom complete.

To see things whole, to participate in theself-healing cf the planet polluted by the oftenmad and ruthless hominization process, requiresa deliberate act of selflessness. In the space ofselflessness, the space of the mystic column,which like the ancient tao allows both the lightand the dark tointeract, we may glimpse theholonomic field pattern, infinitely greater thanourselves, yet indistinguishable from the leastsubatomic particle, a pattern that is order andorganism, future and past all at once, yet slow,steady, measured—as slow as the rocks of themost ancient nountains.

Giving ourselves up to the reality of thispattern as it unfolds within and without in thedynamic of all life and energy, we may open tothe possibility of our own radiation, not figura-tively, but actually. And in the seamless interac-tion of ourselves and our environment we mayfathom the basis for radiosonic synaesthesia.

At the heart of the holonomic equation is theprinciple of universal binary resonance. From avery simple, practical point of view, this is howthings work—from the double helix of DNA andthe positive/negative attraction/repulsion ofelectrical force, to the mutually interactive fieldof man/mind and nature (heaven/earth). Know-ing itself is written into the primary process ofuniversal binary resonance.

For this reason, man has always known; hehas known that life is fundamentally good, thatthe universe, the stars in the sky, the animals,plants, minerals, and elements of earth are notmalevolent, but cosmically saturated with thepurpose that gives order. This purpose is theinherent sacredness, the order of the universeitself. As long as man has kept this sacrednessbefore him, indeed, as long as he has woven itinto the pattern of his heart through humility andspiritual attunement, the pattern of humansociety has also reflected the sacredness andorder with which all things are endowed.

Despite the youthful folly of the mad rush toclaim the planet as the domain of man's ignor-antly playful intellect, the universe, the stars, theelements of the earth, and man himself are noless sacred than they were when the process ofhominization began. Though we feverishlygather more facts and information, genuinesatisfaction escapes us. With our sophisticatedtools, radio telescopes, and electron micro-scopes, all that we are able to produce arefurther rationally taunting enigmas andparadoxes: quarks, quasars, black holes, andgluons, to name but few.

Numbered among the new discoveries ofthe past few years are the dozen or so "gyro-scopic galaxies/' discovered via radiotelescopeat the "edges of the universe/' From the tradi-tional scientific point of view, these galaxies arenovel in that they possess vertical rings as well asthe horizontal spiral arm/rings of more orthodoxspiral galactic formations. From the holonomicperspective, however, these gyroscopicgalaxies, perhaps examples of highly evolvedmutually coordinating star-systems, are on amassive scale only simple manifestations of theprimal resonant field model of the holonomictopocosm.

Distinct from the gravitationally mag-netized horizontal rings that manifest even at theplanetary level, as in our neighbor Saturn, thevisible manifestation of vertical rings corres-ponds to the full activation of the biopsychicfield, in binary resonance with the elec-tromagnetic field. In holonomics, by virtue ofthe principle of universal binary resonance,what is true of one system is true for all.

Because our minds perceive only that towhich they are attuned or ready to perceive, the"discovery" of the gyroscopic galaxies providesa clue to the radiosonic unfolding of the nextstage of planetary development. At the very leastthis next stage, the posthistoric, is dependent notupon further material exploitation, but uponproper activation of the planet's biopsychic fieldof resonance.Stars Open

When we speak of the activation of the planetarybiopsychic field of resonance, we refer directlyto the psi bank. Though the psi bank might havebeen at best but a fragmentarily glimpsedphenomenon during the headlong race towardcomplete planetary hominization, the next stageof development, the radiosonic, would beimpossible without the full conscious activationof the psi bank. This is what underlies the phrase,the planetization of consciousness, i.e. makingconscious what had once been unconscious.

Though the majority of the human racemight have been unconscious or unaware of thetotal field phenomenon of the psi bank, this doesnot mean that the psi bank had not been fullyoperative. It had. Whether as the Dream-Time,the Houses of the Sun, the White Isles of theBlessed, the Elysian Fields, Valhalla, Tir-na-nog,and all manner of heavens, paradises and hells,or even as the collective unconscious, the psibank has been ever-functioning.

As the network repository of cumulativehuman thought, and as the guiding psychicfield—the holonomic recollection circuit—ofplanetary hominization, the psi bank has alwaysprovided the matrix of vision inseparable fromthe primordial wisdom and goodness manifestin all human beings. Since its operatingmechanism is located in resonance with theradiation belts of the electromagnetic field, thepsi bank is thus globally accessible. Becausehumans possess the qualities of self-reflection,the conscious manifestation of mind, and be-cause mind is without measure—limitless andinfinite—all humans are capable of tuning intothe globally present psi bank. Indeed, and intruth, the psi bank is the planetary mind, andhumanity but the single multimembered body ofthat mind.

The visions, the chromatic patterns, theweavings, the bipolar calendars, the templestructures, the pyramids, the myths and legends

of heros and heroines, the ascents to the rainbowdomains, the successions of oracle/healer/seersthe geometries, number formations, musicalarchitectures—all are engendered from thematrix of vision through the primary principle ofuniversal binary resonance. This matrix of visionsis the psi bank itself, both spontaneously pro-duced by and coproductive of the binary reson-antfield, man and nature.There is no longer anyreason to be surprised by our capacity to know,nor by the coincidence that the ways in whichwe know follow the same patterns of binaryprogressions.

The scientific mind has sought to perpetuatethe myth of the mystery of things in order to giveitself authority and power to continue to expendtime and energy in pursuit of the unattainable.We need no longer succumb to the fatal attrac-tion of this myth. In the activation of the psibank, the planetary biopsychic field, we shallsee and understand the connectedness of things,most important, of ourselves as a unitary or-ganism. Yet, in the synergistic workings of theresonant field model, it is only by coming toknow who we really are that the psi bank can befully activated.

Nevertheless, though the imperative re-mains with us to radically alter the direction ofpresent-day civilization—to call an end tohistory, no less—we may also give our attentionto the mechanics of the psi bank and appriseourselves further of how we may accomplish thedouble-end—individual realization and collec-tive harmonization—by completing the historicprocess and initiating the posthistoric.

This map shows the complete interface betweenthe psi bank warp, the longitudinal matrixpattern provided by the arrangement of the eightTzolkin, emphasizing the mystic columns, andthe Franklin square/holonomic recollectioncircuit, which provides the key to the biopsychichistorical woof or lateral pattern of the psi bank.

Were it not for the mystic column, it wouldbe difficult to accommodate the square of 8. Butas we have seen, just as the octave (8) containsthe chromatic scale (13) so obviously must theTzolkin, base 13, contain the / Ching, base 8.The mystic column allows 20 units to be sub-tracted from the total of 260 units of a givenTzolkin segment, leaving a total of 240 units.While 260 is not divisible by 8 without a remain-der, 240 is. Thus each of the 64 units of theFranklin/holonomic square is allotted 30Tzolkinunits. Brief observation shows that each of theeight plates comprising the Franklin square/holonomic recollection circuit coincides com-pletely with one of each of the eight Tzolkin.Furthermore, it should be noted that the cross-over polarity segment of the central section ofeach of the binary triplets in each of the eightTzolkins corresponds completely to the four-partcentral crossover polarity section of each of theholonomic plates.

For example, in the northern spriig plate,the central square overlaying the crossoverpolarity of the binary triplet is comprised ofnumbers 1 and 2, 63 and 64, related to eachother in the manner of crossover polarity. Thesame pattern of relationship holds true for all ofthe leaves. Thus the principle of crossoverpolarity is consistently matched in both theFranklin square/holonomic circuit paitern andin the psi bank warp, Tzolkin/solar pulsationleaves.

Such an exact correspondence and match-ing of the / Ching system of 64 and the SacredCalendar of 260, like the matching of DNAcodons and / Ching kua, are beyond humancalculation. To discover and appreciate theflawless congruity of these fundamental patterns,however, likeall laws and principles of nature, isnot beyond the grasp of the receptively attunedhuman imagination. Having been glimpsed,grasped, and graphed, such patterns may thenbe comprehended. Once comprehended, theymay be applied. The application of the pattern/principle of the psi bank, containing as it doesthe code key to all living processes, electromag-netism, and the psychocultural evolution of thehuman race, can be of enormous consequencefor the planet of which the psi bank is the govern-ing consciousness.

Here in schematic fashion is a total read-out ofthe psi bank components, a map of the psychoat-mospheric matrix of planet earth. To begin withwe should note that the numbers of each of theeight seasonal plates comprising the 64-unitholonomic recollection circuit add up to 260,the number of units in the underlying Tzolkin/solar-pulsation plate. The mystic columns of theTzolkin plates are indicated, the four suchcolumns providing the center of the four psi-tec-tonic plates: AfroEurasian, Pacific, American,and Atlantic.

The equator provides the primary bipolardivision into northern and southern AC and CAtemplates, as well as the division of the longitudi-nal plates into the eight seasonal plates. Each ofthese eight plates is then divided into threepsi-nimboid membrane leaves, and eight psimatrix units. Corresponding psychoatmosphericdivisions are indicated along the right-hand sideof the main matrix.

The diamond formation patterns enclosingeach of the mystic columns suggest the Tzolkin/solar-pulsation matrix that underlies this pattern.These refer to the primary structure of the binarytriplet configuration. The looping pattern of thecivilizational flow is also evident in this matrix.Keeping in mind that each of the eight seasonalplates is superimposed upon a 260-unit Tzolkin/solar-pulsation matrix, the total underlyingmatrix contains 2080 such units. Since the 260units refer to units of time, the designation"psi-chrono" has been applied to the individualunits of the total eight Tzolkin psi bank matrix.

We may regard a psi-chrono or psi-time unit inthe following manner: just as there are fourseasons per year, each with its unique qualityfollowing upon another, so there is a cycle of260 days, each of which contains its particularquality, which, synchronized with the flow-pat-tern of days in their seasonal succession, ac-counts for the richly diverse, seemingly unpre-dictable changes that accompany each day,both atmospherically and psychically.

It is in such manner that we arrive at thethreshold of psychoatmospheric studies. Interms of the holonomic equation, psychoatmos-pheric studies are to the binary resonant unfold-ing of man in relation to the environment whatphysics is to the study of the laws of the pheno-menal world. In this regard we may also speak ofpsychoatmospheric weather fronts. The patternof major fronts is to the far right of this map.Corresponding to the major transitions of psy-chocultural development, the psychoatmos-pheric weather fronts can thus be plotted on thepsi bank flow key.

The first major front moving from square 64to square 1 corresponds to the emergence ofman as a psychocultural organism, possessor ofthe knowledge of fire. The second, from square 8to 9, corresponds to the stabilization of aborigi-nal society in social units devoted to the protec-tion and maintenance of a particular geographi-cal site. The third major psychoatmosphericweather front, from 16 to 17, corresponds to the

corpus callosum of history, initiatio, the passagefrom the AC template to the CA that inauguratesthe civilizing hominization of the planet. Thefourth, from 24 to 25, and the fifth, from 32 to 33,pertain to the shift to imperialist expansion of theancient world and the spiritual renewal of themedieval world respectively. The sixth psycho-atmospheric front, from 40 to 41, marked therapid passage from the medieval world to theglobal-industrial world.

As we have already indicated, we are nowexperiencing the onset of the seventh psychoat-mospheric weather front, the return-crossingfrom the CA back to the AC template, that whichtransits from 48 to 49. This will prove to be thestormiest front of all, as it means for those now inpower and hooked into the outmoded materialistbelief-system virtually the end of everything.The nuclear impasse of the present time is themost obvious sign of the perilousnessof thepresent weather front. As with all weather frontsit is important to know the nature of the pattern,and the kind of meteorological conditions thatwill follow. The eighth front, from 56 to 57, willmark the achievement of a major stabilization ofplanetary conditions, the planetization of con-sciousness; theconclusion of that phase will nrthe actual manifestation of the biopsychic forcefield.

On the left-hand side we see the pattern of theholonomic recollection circuit, the AC and CAtemplates derived from the sequence of theFranklin square, as well as the vertical/longitudi-nal mystic-column patterns with their enclosingbinary triplet configuration forms. What resultsis the complete pattern of the psi matrix, theradiosonic template itself.

In the preceding section, we spoke of thenecessity of knowing the nature of the currentpsychoatmospheric weather front as well as thekind of meteorological conditions that willfollow it. The radiosonic template is a clue toboth. In being complete as well as making itselfcompletely known, the pattern suggests whole-ness and healing. Such is the vision necessary forthe return crossing of the corpus callosum ofhistory. As a complete circuit, the template is aharbinger of psychocultural stage seven, posthis-tory. Horizontally and vertically connected, theradiosonic template is an actual description ofthe planetary points linking flows of geomagne-tic, electromagnetic, and biopsychic energy. It isboth a model of the whole system as well as atemplate for smaller localized radiosonic sys-tems.

A localized radiosonic system, like themacroplanetary one, involves the linkage ofgeomagnetic, electromagnetic, and biopsychicenergy flows. This is the primary or horizontallevel of synthesis presupposed by radiosonictechnology, a presupposition made comprehen-sible and realizable by the synchronous meshingof these fields of resonance in the resonant fieldmodel and in the binary triplet code of the psibank itself.

The vertical level of synthesis is provided byman,, the attunement rod of the biopsychic field.This level of synthesis is attained through anactual deployment of synaesthesia, a congru-ence and matching of the sense-fields. Theprimitive technology pointing to the radiosonicsynnesthesia is to be found in present-daytelevision or video. By affecting at least twosenses at once- the visual and auditory—pre-

sent-day video satisfies the minimum require-ment of radiosonic technology. Unfortunatelythe maximum dynamic effects of this sensorymatching are short-circuited by the devastatinglybarbaric programming of contemporary video.

For that reason it is necessary to con-template the second diagram of this map, "TheRadiosonic Template as the Temple of Man." Byvirtue of holonomic consistency, the universalprinciples of binary resonance and crossoverpolarity link the individual human organism tothe same pattern governing the total planetaryflow of energy, the holonomic recollectioncircuit. Thus, when we place this circuit on itsend, the corpus callosum of history at the bot-tom, what appears is the radiosonic template ofthe temple of man. The foundation of the templeof man is the body of the individual humanorganism, one and the same for every humanbeing. In the radiosonic template, the humanform is binary or doubled, indicating that inactuality there is no such thing as human exis-tence without relationship.

In reality, the radiosonic template describesthe energy body of the human organism. Thisbody may be envisioned as a psychomagneticcircuit resonantly connected with the nervousand glandular system, and the vital organs.

The key features of the energy body aredefined by the five centers of biopsychic activa-tion, located in the head, throat, heart, navel,and a primal center midway between the naveland the genitals. In the construction of theradiosonic temple of man, it is the energy bodythat is the vital system or circuit connecting theelectromagnetic and geomagnetic forces in themanner of a conduit or transformer.

Located along the axis of the body's ownmystic column, the five centers of biopsychicactivation are nothing new. It will be noted thatthe body's mystic column corresponds to a linedrawn through the center of the four centralcrossover transformation templates of either oneofthe two templates comprising the psi matrix.I ikewise in the energy body these centers mark

the points of crossover polarity that allow for afree flow of magnetic energy—the basis ofvitalization—through the body, and that alsoallow each center to express its particular levelor kind of energy in specific fashion.

A consideration of the relationsh ip ofbiopsychic centers to each other and the stagesof psychocultural development is useful inindicating the nature of the functions of each ofthe centers, as well as their cumulative effectupon each other. To the primal center corres-ponds the prehistoric or aboriginal phase ofdevelopment, the aboriginally biological found-ation of all attunement, the site of the dynamicvital urge that pervades all of life. The next threecenters—navel, heart, and throat—correspondto the stage of history. The navel as the body'scenter of gravity, as well as the omphalos, thatpoint from which the cord of life originallyextended, corresponds to the hieratic civiliza-tional stage, the foundation of all actual civiliza-tion. The heart center corresponds to the spiritu-ally vitalizing forces that became paramount in

the medievall phase; and the throat to the modernglobal-industrial, which provided the communi-cation network globally linkingthe entire planet.

The head center, at the topof the skull,corresponds to the posthistoric phase. From itthe lines of energy lead out to the psi bank, thesixth center, which cannot be fully activatedwithout proper synergistic activation of the fiveenergy body centers. Linked intinately to thenervous system and hence to the psychosensorysystem, the centers in relation to the sensescomprise the total psychogenetic feedbackloop. It is because the centers are neurallyconnected with sense-fields that there could bebiopsychic activation in relation to the geo- andelectromagnetic fields. The chief clue to theactivation process lies in the study of chromatics.

In considering the nature and function of theradiosonic template as the temple of man, wesee that the energy body corresponds to the formof the psi matrix considered as the planetarynervous system. Likewise, the five centers ofbiopsychic activation within the individualenergy body contain a corresponding recapitula-tion of the stages of psychocultural develop-ment. Finally, the biopsychic centers and thesense-fields as a total system comprise a psycho-genetic feedback loop. In terms of the holonomicequation, the individual psychogenetic feed-back loop is based on the same pattern as thepsychocultural or historic feedback loop, itselfbased on an even more encompassing universalmodel.

As we have seen, the stages of historic orpsychocultural development defined by theeight stages of holonomic recollection and thesixty-four stages of biopsychic transformationcorrespond to both / Ching and DNA codons,hence the qualifying phrase psychogenet/cfeedback loop.

The process of history, the radiation of man,is itself based upon and/or is a function of bothoctave and chromatic formulations (see Maps23 and 38). It is for this reason that the study ofchromatics is the key to biopsychic activation.Chromatics, or biopsychic chromatics, musthere be taken to mean the investigation of theinterrelation between the various spectral scalesor units of information to which each of thesenses is responsive. To the ear, this spectralscale is known as the octave; to the eye, thechromatic spectrum; to the nose, the olfactoryscale, and soon. Because the visible spectrum iseasy to reproduce in terms of color, it provides,in this instance, the base analogy for a prelimi-nary consideration of the total field of biopsychicchromatics. In the "Psychogenetic Chromocellu-lar Activation Chart," the historic psychogeneticfeedback loop in all of its permutations as the psibank woof provides the matrix for the pattern of

chromocellular activation, the total interwovenspectrum of the color scale. The lead color ofeach of the eight stages is keyed in at the upperleft-hand corner of each of the psychogeneticcell-blocks. Thus we have the chromatic patternalready established:

Red and orange: AC template, aboriginal emer-gent and aboriginal generative, blocks one andtwo respectively, corresponding to primalcenter of the energy body.

Yellow and green: CA template, hieratic pristineand hieratic imperial, blocks three and fourrespectively, corresponding to the navel centerof the energy body.

Blue: Medieval cosmopolitan, block five, CAtemplate, heart center of the energy body.

Indigo: Global-industrial, block six, CAtemplate, throat center of the energy body.

Violet and purple: Radiosonic and holonomic,blocks seven and eight, AC template, corre-sponding to the head center of the energy body.

Since each of the-chromatic cell-blocks (it isimportant to remember that these code figuresalso correspond to the flow of DNA codons) isdivided from top to bottom into four binaryparts, to each of these sections corresponds asingle color. Also, since each of the chromaticcell-blocks is divided into two by the mysticseventh column, there are a total of eight two-line parts of six kua each for each chromaticcell-block. As a result, each cell block can

accommodate all eight colors of the spectrum,but in a different pattern of arrangement, de-pending upon which color is keyed into the"start sentence" in the upper left. Finally, thecolor itself moves spectrally by binary pairsdownward in the manner of the crossoverpolarity pattern exhibited in the psi bank warp.In this way we may account for the particularpattern evident in the "PsychogeneticChromocellular Activation Chart."

It should be noted that the overall pattern ofcolor relationships to each other correspondsexactly to the crossover polarity dynamic exhi-bited in a single seasonal plate of the psi matrixflow chart. Thus, the central block of four isdesignated by a crossover between blocks oneand five, four and eight. This central crossover iscomplemented by the complete crossoverpattern by which blocks two and six, three andseven are related by the same process of inverse

Symmetry.Viewing this map as a psychogenetic

keyboard, literally as the chromatic spectrum ofour chromosomes, the carriers of DNA coding,we may begin to sense how profoundly theinherent harmony of things is inscribed in us.We may also begin to contemplate the pos-sibilities oftranslating this inherent harmonyoutward through our senses transforming oursense-fields—the planetary environment itself—into a true synthesis of man and nature.

In the preceding map we considered the funda-mentals of biopsychic chromatics as achromocellular activity, an inherently genetic aswell as psychocultural function. Here we con-sider the chromatic code in its electromagnetic/celestial presentation. The pattern of the colorsin the chromatic code is derived from/corres-ponds to the matching of the psi bank matrix ofsixty-four with the psi bank warp (Map 42).

The colors themselves are coded to the foursets of polar binary triplet configurations that arethe key matrix pattern, the psi bank warp (Map1). Thus, the color formulations and correspond-ing psi bank matrix numbers are as follows:

Colorredorangeyellowgreenblueindigovioletpurple c

Binary Codenumbers 1 to 8numbers 9 to 16numbers 17 to 24numbers 25 to 32numbers 33 to 40numbers 41 to 48numbers 49 to 56numbers 57 to 64

Psychocultural Stageaboriginal emergentaboriginal generativehieratic pristinehieratic imperialmedieval cosmopolitanglobal-industrialradiosonicholonomic

Remembering that the sequential pattern ofthese numbers in this arrangement gives us theholonomic recollection circuit as well as theradiosonic template, the chromatic code couldnot be more harmonious. While the totalchromatic spectrum is manifest in each verticalarrangement, the horizontal arrangementsmoving in eight sets of binary color pairs corre-spond to the woof of history.

In the information processing of the geneticcode, the pattern also holds true: one strand oftwo holds the template of the other and theentire pattern of both. This is demonstrated bythe far left chromatic strand's correspondence tothe movement of color to the left of the mysticcolumn dividing the spring (north) and autumn(south). As one can see, this strand is not only thepattern of its counterpart strand on the other sideof the mystic column, but as a single strand itcontains information of the entire chromaticspectrum as well.

Thus, not only is there a complete equiva-lence between chromocellular and psi bankchromatics, but the chromatic code is writteninto the most primary structures of life andenergy. The purpose of radiosonics is to releasethe radiant chromatic structures containedwithin the dynamics of life and electromag-netism through biopsychic activation. This is atask comparable to, though infinitely morebeneficial than, the release of energy throughsplitting the atom. This and other maps presentedhere are keys to the attainment of that end.However, thatend will not be attained at all untilthere is a complete reorientation—one is temp-ted to say complete repolarization—of thedirection in which man thinks he is going.

This reorientation is not simply a matter ofthinking that there are alternative routes bywhich energy may be released for the purpose ofmaintaining a presumed mastery over nature.What is actually required is a kind of revulsion inthe deepest levels of one's nature, a turning inthe deepest seat of consciousness. Such revul-sion, a turning away from base egotistical andaggressive drives, must be followed up andsupplemented by spiritual attunement practicesthat continue to foster a realization of the ulti-mately selfless nature of oneself and all beings.Such selfless realization is the breeding groundof selfless behavior, that behavior alone that canproperly activate the biopsychic centers and,linked with the template of electro- andgeomagnetic flows, release the temple of man,the planet-mind made not only conscious, butfunctional and visible as well.

By its nature, synthesis implies a joining ofbeginning and end, a harmonizing of what wasactive at the commencement of things with whatwas only potential. This is what is described bythe holonomic recollection circuit: a movementthat originates in the AC template, crosses overto its polar opposite, the CA template, andcompletely fulfills the pattern there. OncefuIf Iled, the movement of thought-energy andconsciousness must return to the template oforigin, the AC, and complete the synthesis,bringing together what has been aboriginallypresent with what has skillfully developedthrough the civilizing hominization of theplanet. In this process, history is but the middleterm of an equation that is as mythic as it ispsychogenetic in its dimensions.

Myth differs from what we know as sciencein that it is based in a synaesthetic mode ofknowing and being. Thus, in passing back to theAC template, we leave science and pass again tomythic consciousness, but a mythic conscious-ness empowered and enlightened by our peril-ous crossing through history. The new and

synaesthetic mythic consciousness is activatedby the recognition of and attunement to theguiding global reality of the psi bank, the vision-ary matrix common to man, the mental envelopeof planet earth.

In this map we see the psi bank matrixactivated according to the chromatic code.What appears is a resplendent set of four feath-ered rainbow columns, the four rainbow housesof the sun. The mystic columns running downthe center of the four rainbow houses of the sunare nothing less than the four rivers of life,burning with the purity of emptiness, for empti-ness alone makes possible the primal binaryalternation providing the heartbeat of the princi-ple of universal resonant polarity. These are thehouses of vision. These are the rivers of paradise.These are the palaces of wisdom. These aresignposts of our collective destiny.

In the holonomic field pattern, art, science, andsacred order are unified into a single image, aprimary configuration that nonetheless containsthe whole story.

Accommodated by the psi bank matrix is asingle binary-triplet configuration. Chromati-cally keyed to the colors of the alpha and theomega, red and purple respectively, the centralportion of the binary-triplet configuration opensout on either side of the mystic column into twosymmetrically inverse chromatic polarity cir-cuits. The result is a complete binary configura-tion of sixteen parts.

The total sixteen-part binary figure cannot,however, be understood as an independententity, for brief examination shows that the sideportions corresponding to the colors blue,green, yellow, and indigo are actually right andleft halves of two other binary-triplet configura-tions. Thus, our own psi bank matrix is interde-pendent with and a function of a much largermatrix pattern, that of the solar system, and thesolar system itself is but a single matrix in animmense galactic field.

It is also notable that the sixteen-part config-uration floats over a field that consists of a micro-and a macroconfiguration of the primary reson-ant field model. The microconfiguration com-prises the core of the macroconfiguration, whichresonates outward in concentric waves, reach-ing its climax in an intense ring of radiation thatunites the alpha and omega ends of the spec-trum. The center of the microcore correspondsto the center of the greater mystic column,comprised of the numbers 13 and 7 repeated.The sum total of these numbers, forty, corres-ponds to one-half the total number of unitscomprising this greater mystic column.

We may ask: Where do we go from here?Once we have comprehended and mastered thetwo-template, eight-plate operations of our ownpsi bank, obviously leading to the code of 16 (8x 2), what next? Once again the genial BenFranklin has provided the clue. No sooner hadhe completed te square of 8, than Franklin.

triumphantly brought forth the square of 16,providing the numerical clue to the decipheringof the sixteen-part solar/galactic microchip ofour collective planetary destiny.

The pulse of the magic square of 16 is 2056,a figure that is the multiple of 257 and 8. As anirreducible prime number, 257 is neverthelessintimately connected to the sets of binary prog-ressions, as it may also be written: (162 + 1).Yet, in relation to the code of 8 and 13 withwhich we have been dealing, with their multi-ples of 64 (82) and 260 (13 x 20), 2056 as (162

+ 1 x 8), represents a major leap in the qualityof our knowing and being.

By analogy, we may view the differencebetween where we are now, and where we mustbe ?in order to become properly galactic, as thedifference between 13, the prime number baseof the magic square of 8, and 257, the primenumber base of the magic square of 16. Theinterval between 13 and 257 represents nothingless than the interval between the fragmented,incoherent, individual, and sociopoliticalconsciousness of the present day, and the com-pletely unified field consciousness of human-kind functioning as a single planetary organismin conjunction with a totally visible and operablepsi bank.

At this point we need say no more. There ismuch to be done. Let this pattern, the sixteen-part polar binary circuit configuration, theholonomic field pattern, suffice as an inspira-tional guiding image of wholeness, a resonantfield vision, a radiosonic glimpse of our poten-tial, a radiant call to realize our nature fullythrough realizing the nature of all that is aroundus.

Afterword

To Cross the Great Water of History

A Prelude to Map 49

The number of maps comprising this rendi-tion of the Earth Ascending is forty-eight.That is the numbersignifyingthe conclusionof the completion of the CA template, thehominization of this planet. It also corres-ponds to kua 48 in / Ching, Ching, The Well,the kua that provides the key for movingacross the corpus callosum of history, re-turn.

The kua, the other side of the returnpassage of the corpus callosum, number 49,corresponds to Revolution (Molting). In asense we have provided all the maps neededfor the moment, and so each reader mayconstruct Map 49 from what has beenpresented, according to where he or shemay find themselves. In fact, the entire set ofmaps and text comprising Earth Ascendingmay be taken as an incentive to "cross thegreat water," and in so doing instigate theglobal revolution necessary to place usonce again on a firm footing with theevolutionary process.

In order to better prepare for thismomentous crossing and the revolution thatit entails, we should consider more fully the

Commentaries to this critical kua, number'49.

'The Sequence: the setup of a wellmust necessarily be revolutionized in thecourseoftime. Hence there follows the kua,Revolution/' This traditional commentplacing kua 49 in relation to its predecessor,number 48, is instructive, as is the miscel-laneous note appended to that comment:"Revolution means removal of that which isantiquated." Revolution, 49, stands be-tween the only two kua presenting man-made objects in / Ching, The Well, 48, and

The Cauldron, 50. Thus, revolution is ntransformative bridge.

The Well represents the necessary, butat the same time artificial, structure of civili-zation; The Cauldron, the means for ulti-mate transformation. What is antiquated,requiring removal, are not physical ormaterial encumbrances, but attitudes thatare no longer attuned to the actual situationof the time. That the attitudes blockingproper use of the well are entrenched in thematerial trappings of power and conventionis precisely the reason why revolution iscalled for. A consideration of the enormityof the task, passing back from the CA to theAC templates, from history to posthistory,indicates that we cannot be dealing with asituation in which one set of power-holdersis toppled to be replaced by another. Rather,we are deal ing with total holonomic revolu-tion, revolution by attunement.

A commentary on the Judgement of the kuaprovides further insight into the carrying out ofthis kind of revolution, revolution by attune-ment:

"Heaven and earth bring about revolution,and the four seasons complete themselvesthereby.

'Tang and Wu brought about politicalrevolution because they were submissive towardheaven and in accord with men."'"The time of Revolution is truly great."'

Like the natural process by which theseasons complete themselves, revolution byattunement is carried out first of all throughbeing submissive to heaven—to the sacred orderof things—and thereby placing oneself in accordwith men. The true needs of humanity withwhich one must align oneself are not furtheredby ideology or war, ambition for power, orsenseless material glut and exploitation. Thetrue needs of humanity are furthered throughcompassionate consideration of the profoundlyselfless and spiritual nature that binds us notonly to each other, but to all that is.

The comprehensiveness of genuine revolu-tion, carried out by men and women in accordwith mankind and submissive to heaven, ismade clear in the Image of Revolution itself:

THE IMAGEFire in the Lake: the image of RevolutionThus the superior manSets the calendar in orderAnd makes the seasons clear.

Through the presentation of the holonomicequation and particularly the holonomic recol-lection circuit we have the means and thepattern for setting the calendar in order. In thepsi matrix underlying the holonomic recollec-tion circuit, we have the key to making theseasons clear. Here we refer to the seasons ofpsychocultural development. We are now in aposition to pass from an autumn/winter ofhistory, to the spring of posthistory.

In making this call for total holonomicrevolution, revolution by attunement, we can

not deceive ourselves. The well of civilization asit is today is rife with antiquated material. Theremoval of that material is no easy process. Thegreatest thing going for us, however, is thepurposive force of evolution and the basicgoodness and intelligence reposited in thehuman race.

Nonetheless, to face things squarely, whatholonomic revolution implies is nothing lessthan the total transformation of the existingorder: socially, politically, culturally, andeducationally. Even if this crossing is ac-complished in the next generation, the processof cleaning up backwaters, and even more/theprocess of education and construction ofthefoundations of the new, will be at least severalmore generations in the making.

For this reason, it is imperative that thematrix-or seed-template of the future ordercome into being at the present time. Based onthe premises oft he holonomic equation, such aseed-template would be the most importantforce in the incipient global revolution, a revolu-tion brought about by intelligent attunement tonatural (holonomic) factors rather than by thewillful intent of a few clandestine groups totopple the powers that now hold sway over theworld.

Organized into a network, the seed-templates of the radiosonic future, besidespossessing common spiritual respect, must bebased on nonaggressive means, or else default tothe underlying egotism of the present order.Since traditionally the practice of art has beenthe most effective means for the nonaggressivetransformation of energy, both external andinternal, art must play a key and major role in thepresent global revolution. But here art must beunderstood in its aboriginal sense of healing,purifying, unifying, and bringing people together

into coherent purposive groups. It is in thisregard that a cal I is issued for the formation ofthe"Planet Art Network" as the means of imple-menting revolution by attunement.

Grounded in the principle of holonomics,spiritually attuned, nonaggressively oriented,artistically skilled, capable of utilizing the vastpanoply of tools made available through theprocess of civilization, the Planet Art Network asa cohesive matrix of geomantically sited groupscould provide the global seed-template neces-sary for crossing the corpus callosum that returnsus from the troubled dream of history to a futurethat is properly ours.

In the meantime, let the reader ponder themaps and follow for him- or herself, according tohis or her own skills and knowledge, the logic ofthe holonomic equation, logic beyond humanwhim. Having done so, then consider whatchoices there are to be made. If Earth Ascendingis to be of any use at all, it will show itself as aguidebook to the dawning age. May those whohave followed to this point find in themselves aseed, and make of themselves a path releasingthe light, so that others may know.

Postlude: Synergy and HolonomicsOn July 1,1983, two days after I had com-pleted the manuscript of Earth Ascending,R. Buckminster Fuller died, less than twoweeks before his eighty-eighth birthday. Itwas through correspondence I had with Mr.Fuller in 1969 that some such notion as thepsi bank was first confirmed for me. Ourcorrespondence, subsequently published inMaincurrents in Modern Thought, dealtwith the postmortem transmission of theconcept of synergy from Charles Henry,who died November 3, 1926, to Mr. Fuller,who received great inspiration in 1927following the birth of his daughter, Allegra.

A chance meeting with Mr. Fuller in1980, following a synchronistic sequenceof dreams and other life coincidences, evenmore profoundly established for me thereality of a vast psychic network againstwhich our individual egos struggle in vain. Itwas shortly after this chance encounter thatI most earnestly began to explore and articu-late the reality of a "planet art network/' asthe historic/tangible manifestation of theglobal psi bank.

With all due respect to Mr. Fuller andhis tireless zeal to imbue the consciousnessof humanity with a dynamic, optimisticview of the integrity of the planet, ourselves,and the universe entire as whole, knowablesystem, it seems proper to include as aPostlude a holonomic map illustrating the

intimate relationship between synergy andholonomics.

The key units in this relationship in-clude the binary triplet configuration, thetetrahedron—the staple of synergetics—andthe resonant field model, an image origi-nally derived from the fertile mind of CharlesHenry.

In all three images, the key is the wholenumber three: the threefold dynamic of thebinary triplet, whose middle unit can besymmetrically divided so that the synergisticaxiom 1 + 1 + 1 =4 applies; the tetrahed-ron, whose base form is a triangle, three ofwhich joined together produce an "invisi-ble" fourth; and the resonant holonomicfield model, consisting of a radiant elec-tromagnetic field, a concentric gravitationalfield, and a synthesizing biopsychic field,the mutually resonant interaction of whichcreate a fourth, the total field-sphere ofongoing consciousness, which is all-inclu-sive and accounts for sense of time andduration.

The Postlude map also demonstratesthe correspondence between the octahed-ron and the eightfold division of the binarytriplet into four positive and four negativefaces, as well as the correspondence be-tween the six-vector tetrahedron and thesix-part binary triplet configuration. Thesix-vector tetrahedron is comprised of twotriangles, each of which equals one-halfunit of quantum. The whole six-vectortetrahedron is therefore the equivalent ofone unit of quantum. Since there is an exactcorrespondence between the six-part binarytriplet, with its positive and negative sides,to the six-vector tetrahedron, the binary

triplet configuration becomes another wayof representing one unit of quantum.

As can be seen, each side of the binarytriplet configuration also contains threetriangles each, the number needed to createone tetrahedron. Since one tetrahedronconsists of thirty-two inventory items—ang-les, faces, vertices, etc.—and since there aretwo tetrahedra contained in a binary tripletconfiguration, there are then a total ofsixty-four inventory items contained withinone binary triplet configuration. The relationof the number sixty-four to the genetic codeand / Ching should be obvious.

Finally, as the base structure of thecube, the tetrahedron, like the cube, isshown circumscribed by the sphere com-prising the resonant holonomic field model.The sphere may be considered the perfect,featureless geometric form from which allother forms are gyroscopically derived.

By showingthe mutual in-folding of thetetrahedron, the binary triplet, and sphericalfield models of holonomics, one may furtherappreciate the intuitive magnanimity of thepioneering genius of synergetics, R. Buck-minster Fuller.

Appendices

Appendix I.Magic Squares of Eight andSixteen, Benjamin Franklin'sContribution

These images are self-explanatory. Howeverit should be noted that the other example ofa magic square of 8 also has a pulse of 260.There is a simple explanation for this. If youadd the numbers 1 to 64 in a sequentialmanner, i.e. 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . . 63 + 64,the sum total is 2080, the number of units inthe psi bank matrix, which divided by 8yields 260.

Appendix II.The Planet Art Report forDesperate Earthlings of Ihe Past

This document first served as the secondhalf of an essay, "Planet Art and ParadigmShift," published in October, 1980. It wasfirst published in this broadside form in thesummer of 1980, and has since been re-printed twice. Included as an appendixhere, it outlines basic principles underlyingthe establ ishment of the Planet Art Network,suggested in the Afterword. The Planet ArtReport was presented as a document at theFirst Planetary Congress, Toronto, June,1983, and, along with the program pre-sented by the Center for Peace throughCulture, provided the basis for the actualestablishment of the Planet Art Network.Dedicated to the promotion of the principlesof Peace through Culture as initially articu-lated by Nicholas K. Roerich (1874-1947),the Center for Peace through Culture andthe Planet Art Network have as a primarymission education about and disseminationof the Banner of Peace as a single powerfulmeans for unifying artists on a planetaryscale.

Here is the 2080-unit psi matrix based onthe eight Tzolkin grid. Readers of EarthAscending are encouraged to study this voidversion of the matrix and make it their ownby discovering and coloring in the psi warppattern for themselves. Doing so would bethe first step in creating a holonomic color-ing book. With a set of colored pencils,anyone can do it!

The beauty of the psi bank and thevarious patterns and binary permutationsderived from it is that it belongs to no one.As the radiant archetype of archetypes, itspsychic structure permeates all that livesand every dynamism that we may come toknow. Its accessibility only increasesthrough opening oneself up and attuningoneself to its inherent, radiant order. Thepatterns and the visions contained in thistext are testimonies to this process. They aregifts to all humanity. And as gifts, they arekeys and tools. Not only is there aholonomic coloring book to be discoveredamong these pages, but, depending uponone's individual talents and skills, there isvirtually an inexhaustible fountain of pos-sibilities in the application of many of themaps comprising Earth Ascending.

Thus, in addition to the coloring book,other recipes include: new systems of musi-cal notation, new interpretive sludies and

Appendix III.The Holonomic Recipe Book:Void Psi Matrix

architectural forms based on / Ching, ex-tended investigations of the genetic code,and any variety of explorations based on therhythms of binary permutations. More thananything else, however, the holonomicrecipes contained herein should lead tonew synthesizing and synaesthetic forms ofknowing and expression. Beginning withcomputer graphics, the art of binary permu-tations can lead to hitherto undevelopedforms of synthesizing light and sound struc-tures. Calling for the coordination of differ-ent skills, these new forms inevitably lead tocorresponding social development of newartistic cooperatives, art spores, in whichthe talents of artists and technicians arecombined with those of scientists andphilosophical thinkers of all kinds to createthose environmental situations that conduceto new levels of public inspiration andupliftment.

Central to the new holonomic art sporeorganizational structures is the therapeutichealing and purifying component. Massesof humanity now deadened to the livingvitality of the natural world may be har-monized and resensitized through synaes-thetic experiences that are as profoundlytherapeutic as they are uplifting and ennobl-ing. Such synaesthetic baths would not bemerely passive experiences, but wouldcontain the evolutionary imperative thatunlocks the highest purposive instincts sothat, through synergistic unfolding, furthercooperative ventures would naturally pre-sent themselves: eco(logy) squads purifyingand studying the natural harmonies of the

terrestrial environment, psychoatmosphericinvestigation groups, geoeconomic re-source arbiters, therapy theater units, and soforth.

Thus, the void psi matrix is but a minuteinvitation for each person to explore for himor herself the vast possibilities inherent inEarth Ascending. Compassionate coopera-tion and skillful play are but some of thequalities that may inevitably be developedas a result of forging new recipes from theinfinite relational structures contained inthe vast and harmonious reaches of thisbook. Let us go forth. Beginning with one-self, extend to another, and then throughtwo become four . . . ever more inclu-sive. Do not cease until the world and .oneself are no different.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSA hook such as this is a bursting forth, anordered density harbored within the pain,struggle, and chaos of everyday life.Squeezed out from, hammered and refinedin the laboratory of my own life experiences,this book nevertheless owes its existence tomany others who loved, cared for, andsupported me during the period of time inwhich this particular volume was in itsgestation, as well as during its actual forma-tion. Foremost of these is my wife, LloydineBurris, whose unerring insight, intelligence,and tremendous encouragement weresometimes all it seemed that I had. Mentionshould also be made of the children in mylife, whose cajoling and ready curiositywere always an inspiration: Josh, Heidi,Paul, and Tara.

Any book or work of art is a callingforth, an evocation. In this case, those doingthe evoking and providing the audience andstimulus for many of the ideas and imagescontained in these pages were my manystudents at both the University of Colorado,Denver, and at the Naropa Institute, Boul-der, to whom I express my deepest apprecia-tion.

Beneath the surface of words andimages there must be vision. True, vision is apersonal responsibility. But even whenvision comes, in order for its meaning to becommunicated there must be the tools andguidance of others more experienced. Inthis regard, I am most thankful to myteacher, Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche,whose example and wisdom subtly informthe current of spirituality underlying EarthAscending.

A book is not just an idra, but an actual-ity. That Earth Ascending has a worldly formis due to my old friend and publisher, SamBercholz, a man of vision and inspirationwho unhesitatingly told me to go for it!

There were special people at Sham-bhala Publications who deserve praise andthanks for their care and concern in theproduction of this book, most notably myeditor, Emily Hilburn, and the productionand design manager, Eje Wray. Also assist-ing in the design process were Gail Renlundand that cheerful genius of synchronicity,Howard Wapner.

Finally, I must express gratitude to themany people not only in North America butaround the world, who, when I was indifficulty, gave me the encouragement andinspiration to pursue my dream. Amongthese especially, I would like to mention:Dane Rudhyar and Leyla Rael, Jack Burn-ham, Francis V. O'Connor, Charles andJudy Tart, my brother, Ivan, and of course,my mother and father.

All that is left to add to these is the vastweb of the living and the dead, of the nearand the far, of all those who have touchedmy life and made more luminous and clearthe vision that heals.Thank you all.

UPDATE 1996

UPDATE 1996:TIME AND THE BIOSPHERE, THE FOUR YEARS OF THE FIRST WORLD PEACE

Earth Ascending was first pub-lished in 1984. Four years later, in 1988,came the second edition. Both editionswent out of print. But the vision andtruth contained in this unique book havepersisted. Now, in a binary doubling,eight years after the second editioncomes the third. Its visionary, scientifictimelessness is now more applicablethan ever before.

The first edition of Earth Ascend-ing was written without benefit of expo-sure to the thought of Vladimir I.Vernadsky (1863-1945), pioneer Russianscientist whose elaborate investigationsin the realm of geochemistry resulted inhis pioneering work, The Biosphere(1926). As proof of the existence of asynchronizing mechanism, Vernadskyand I had both arrived at the same con-clusion: in light of the transformation ofnature wrought by human effort, it isnecessary to view humanity as an entityof geological significance. In contrast toVernadsky, I had arrived at this view-point from integrative studies in art his-tory, comparative symbolism, the IChing, and, of course, the Tzolkin, thekeystone of the Maya calendar code.

Earth Ascending provided thereason for this common conclusion,

coming from two distinct avenues ofinvestigation in two separate places attwo different times: the discovery andexistence of the psi bank, the guidingauto-regulatory mechanism of the evolu-tion of intelligence on planet Earth.According to Earth Ascending, the psibank remains an unconscious phenome-non guiding the development of human-ity until a point in the imminent futurewhen the historical process is completeand humanity becomes genuinely plane-tized. This moment is described as theadvent of the noosphere and is signaledby the conscious manifestation of the psibank.

The fact that Vernadsky had alsoelaborated on the nature and advent ofthe noosphere was accounted for in thePreface to the second edition of EarthAscending. At that point in time, myown investigations in the Maya time-science had advanced significantly sothat the Tzolkin code underlying the psibank was further demonstrated to bethe same as the thirteen baktuns-260katuns of the Long Count. The thirteenbaktuns provide a precise measure ofthe cycle of human transformation, thethird and most critical term in the five-part holonomic equation. However, in

1988, my exposure to Vernadsky wasstill second-hand, coming through I.Laptev's Planet of Reason; also, my owninvestigations into the Maya time-sci-ence themselves had not yet come to adefinitive conclusion.

In December 1989, while devot-ing myself completely to the final stagesof research into the mathematical systemunderlying the Tzolkin, I was in theMuseum of Time in Geneva, Switzer-land, with my wife, Lloydine, and wediscovered the law and principles of thetiming frequencies. This discovery wasby far the most important point in all ofmy years of research. In essence, thisdiscovery demonstrates that humanityhas developed and produced a geologi-cally impactful transformation of natureby following and adopting itself to anartificial timing frequency. As a conse-quence of the unconscious acceptanceof, and adoption to, this timing fre-quency—an error in time—humanityhas accelerated itself within the naturalfabric of the biosphere, multiplying,propagating, and escalating the velocityand volume of its mechanistic civiliza-tion to the apocalyptic point at which itnow finds itself.

According to this discovery, the

artificial timing frequency is referred loas the 12:60: twelve-month calendar,60-minute hour. This timing frequency isartificial because the twelve-month cal-endar is an irregular adoption of thetwelve-part measurement of a circle inspace, whose 30-degree arcs conform tono natural cycle; and it is mechanisticbecause its source, the circle in space,also provides the basis for the mechani-cal clock, whose division into seconds,minutes and hours, also conforms to nonatural cycles. Because time is a biologi-cal phenomenon, experienced subjec-tively by the mind, the consequence of -following—and allowing to become assecond nature—an artificial, irregular,and mechanistic timing frequency couldonly result in the transformation of civi-lization into the phenomenon that it istoday: a suicidal nightmare, whose one-sided administration according to mone-tary values alone plunges it headlonginto biospheric catastrophe.

The discovery of the artificialtiming frequency which sets humanityapart from nature while driving it farfrom its original course could only havebeen made because of my own experi-ment in living the Maya cycles of time.My wife and I both embarked upon thisexperiment in order to arrive at both aphenomenological and objective under-standing of the mathematics underlyingthe Tzolkin or Mayan Calendar code.

The astonishing result was thediscovery not only of the 12:60 timingfrequency, but also of the natural timingfrequency, 13:20. Astonishing becauseeven more profound than I had evenoriginally hypothesized in The MayanFactor (1987), the underlying mathe-matic of the Mayan calendar was indeedthe mathematic of the fourth dimension.Programmed as the Tzolkin matrix (13 x20 = 260), 13:20 refers mostgenericallyto thirteen moons, the 28-day mooncycle of woman as the measure ofEarth's annual orbit, and 20 solar fre-quencies, biologically encoded as our20 fingers and toes. (See Map 2.) Hence,the natural timing frequency is onetotally encoded into our own biology.Time is biology, not mechanization.

From this discovery came threeconsequences:

• the need to replace the irregulartwelve-month Gregorian calendarwith the biologically accurate thir-teen-moon calendar (1990), and thecreation of the Thirteen MoonCalendar, 1992, inclusive of the rev-elation of the thirteen-moon calen-dar prophecy, Telektonon (1993-95), all giving rise to the WorldThirteen Moon Calendar ChangePeace Movement, 1994;

It was only after completing theDreamspell codes in 1992 that I wasfinally exposed to the primary works ofVladimir I. Vernadsky. These includedhis pioneer work, Biosphere (1926), andhis final summary work, Problems inBiogeochemistry II (1944). Astonishinglyenough, Vernadsky's investigation intothe distinction between organic, bio-inert, and inorganic bodies within thebiosphere ends with one unresolvedissue: the lack of proper understandingof the nature of time and its function inthe biosphere. Vernadsky was virtuallythe sole major modern scientist to recog-nize that time is not a function of metricgeometry and that the fourth dimension

is not just a minor adjunct to the otherthree dimensions of space. At the time ofhis death, 1945,, Vernadsky left open thevital need to consider the question oftime fresh and apart from the considera-tions of the physical sciences and theiraccompanying mathematics, right downthrough the theory of relativity and therise of quantum mechanics.

The Call of Pacal Votan (A Trea-tise on Time) supplies the theoretical andmathematical answer to the problem oftime and the biosphere left unresolvedby Vernadsky. Now the proper fourth-dimensional mathematical analysiscould be applied to the problem ofhuman civilization within the biosphere.For it was not just the issue of time thatVernadsky left open, but also that ofwhich he described as the biosphere-noosphere transition.

In the holononic equation ofEarth Ascending, the geologicallyimpactful issue of civilization—thehuman transformation of nature—is fol-lowed by the fourth term of the equa-tion: nature evaluates the humantransformation. In Vernadsky's analysis ofthe biosphere, this fourth term is theadvent of the biosphere-noosphere tran-sition, which, according to the Mayatime-science analysis, began in 1987and follows a number of distinct andexponentially implosive stages.

First of all, what is the biosphere-

noosphere transition?The biosphere-noosphere transi-

tion is that moment when the cumula-tive impact of human thought and itsprojected mental form of industrializedmachinery, the intermediate technos-phere, reaches a point of maximumexponential entropy, known as biogeo-chemical combustion. This biogeochem-ical combustion—the livingtransformation of matter and consequentuncontrolled liberation of free energypaced by the machine-induced popula-tion explosion—triggers the evaluationof nature. According to the Maya time-science, this evaluation manifests itselfin two forms: the ultimate insanity of thehuman species trapped within its artifi-cial 12:60 time bubble and incapable ofresponding to, much less recognizingand owning, the biospheric crisis whichit alone has created; and the revelationof the laws of time, conscious accep-tance of which alone can trigger theadvent of the noosphere and the mani-festation of the psi bank.

The key point concerning theadvent of the noosphere is that, beingthe planetary mental envelope and thetelepathic web of unified consciousness,it could only come about through a con-scious act collectively undertaken by adetermined mass of humans. If the prob-lem of human thought and machinery inthe biosphere is due to an error in time,

then its solution can only come aboutthrough correcting that error in time. TheBabylonian-generated, mechanical, arti-ficial error in time clearly placed thehuman corpus within the biosphereapart from all other species, to the detri-ment of the existence of many otherspecies, including itself. The responsibil-ity of the rupture of the biosphere is withhumanity alone. The only species liter-ally out of step with the natural timingfrequency of the biosphere is the humanspecies. The analysis is very simple andunquestionably obvious and true: nodolphin is wearing a wristwatch speed-ing to work in a carbon-monoxide-producing machine.

The conscious choice of correct-ing and returning to actual biologicaltime is represented within the biosphereby the rise of the World Thirteen MoonCalendar Change Peace Movement. Thismovement has a two-fold nature. On theone hand, it augurs the conscious com-mencement of the biosphere-noospheretransition. On the other hand, based as itis in the mathematically accurate timingcycles originally registered within theTzolkin and known as the Mayan calen-dar, this movement, which is now dis-persed and spreading throughout theplanet, demonstrates the beginning ofwhat is prophetically referred to as theMayan return.

Sparked nine years ago during

the Harmonic Convergence and first pre-saged in The Mayan Factor(1987), theMayan return and conscious entry intothe biosphere-noosphere transition wasformalized as the The First PlanetaryCongress of Biospheric Rights, Brazilia,Brazil, Solar Moon 11-15, White ElectricWizard Year (Gregorian: March 17-21,AD 1996). Timed exactly 26 years to thedates of the First Whole Earth Festival,1970, and coordinated with the SecondAnnual Worldwide Mayan Solar Cere-monies for Planetary Awakening, SolarMoon 15 (March 21), this planetarygathering was an event of unprece-dented historical significance: thechoice of a critical mass of humanity toadopt a new calendar and thereby enterinto a new human covenant with theconsequent establishment of a newhuman community, the rainbow nationbeyond boundaries, money, and tech-nology.

The formalized existence of thiscritical mass has also prepared a newlevel of intelligence to understand andapply the holonomic principles of EarthAscending through a scientific experi-ment called world peace. The BiosphericCongress has proclaimed the four yearsof the First World Peace—Blue Self-Exist-ing Storm-White Resonant Wizard years(July 26, 1996-July 25, 2000)—as thetime to consciously bring about the bio-sphere-noosphere transition, and therebycomplete the fourth stage of the holo-

nomic equation: nature evaluates thehuman transformation.

The first two years of the FirstWorld Peace are for social-biosphericconversion according to the laws oftime. The second two years are for thebiogeomagnetic realignment of thehuman species within the biosphere andfor the consequent stabilization ofEarth's electromagnetic and geomagneticfields.

Also referred to as the magneticre-education of humanity, the FirstWorld Peace at its core is a scientificexperiment resulting in the telepathiccreation of a rainbow bridge connectingthe north and south magnetic poles ofplanet Earth. This event, to occur on thedate White Resonant Mirror, July 25,2000 (conclusion of the White ResonantWizard year), is the positive counterpartto the creation of the atomic bomb,White Galactic Wizard, July 16, 1945.This experiment involves a precisely cal-ibrated program utilizing the instrumentsof the new time, Dreamspell and Telek-tonon, over a four-year activation cycle.Earth Ascending provides the blueprintsfor this four-year, polar-magnetic,biotelepathic activation cycle. This is thetrue purpose for the publication of thethird edition of this book.

The telepathic experiment—demonstrating the thirteen-moon, 28-day circuit to be the means for returningthe species to universal telepathy—is

keyed to the simultaneous activation ofthe four quadrants, or seasonally codedplates of the psi bank, provided in EarthAscending maps 1, 29-30, 32-35, 3 7-39,and 42-48.

Timing is everything. Map 49,Revolution, which also corresponds tothe first stage return beyond the corpjscallosum of history to post-history,quotes the I Ching, Hexagram 49:

The IMAGEFire in the Lake:the image of Revolution

Thus the superior personSets the calendar in orderAnd makes the seasons clear.

The "calendar set in order" is thereplacement of the Gregorian by theThirteen Moon Calendar. The "seasonsmade clear" is the biosphere-noospheretransition, which, according to Vernad-sky, will lead to a new earthly season orgeological epoch, the Psychozoic era.This era—the advent of a humanity aspsychically impactful within the bios-phere and on the planet as it has beentechnologically impactful—correspondsto the telepathically activated radiosonicsynthesis which brings on the holonomicfield of galactic culture. The "calendarset in order" also refers to the establish-ment of the 13:20 timing frequency as aconscious act of collective intelligenceamong the human species. Only in thisway can the biosphere-noosphere transi-tion be activated. Why and how?

The four quadrants of ithe psibank, the noospheric regulator, are gov-erned by two sets each of polar-alignedTzolkin grids, eight Tzolkin grids in all.These Tzolkin grids maintain the biopsy-chic (DNA) field of resonance in har-mony with the electromagnetic fieldwhich, in turn, is in mutual resonancewith the gravitational or geomagneticfield. The geomagnetic field, charged bythe giant octahedral iron crystal atEarth's core resonates at a frequency of7.8 Hz. The Tzolkin grids govern thebiopsychic field according to the naturaltiming frequency of 13:20. The 7.8 Hz isalso a fractal function of 13: 7.8 = 78 =(13 x 6). Precisely because the Tzolkingrids function at 13:20 timing frequency,they can only be consciously activatedby a collective mental field operating ata 13:20 timing frequency. This timingfrequency is supplied by the criticalmass attuned to, and following, the Thir-teen Moon Calendar.

In the telepathic experiment ofthe four years of the First World Peace,one each of the four years correspondsto one each of the four psi quadrants.Each of these plates or quadrants isdivided into a northern hemisphereTzolkin grid and a southern hemisphereTzolkin grid. These two grids yield 520psi chrono units, or 260 (x 2) per plateper year, 2080 psi chrono units in all.(See Map 43.) Each perfect thirteen-moon year is divided into 26 weeks or

182 days each; each half-year corre-sponds to one each of the Tzolkin gridsper psi plate.

The telepathic experiment called"Turning the Magnet of Be-Ness," callsfor two sets of teams, one set in thenorthern hemisphere, another set in thesouthern hemisphere. Each year, eachset of teams switches its polarity at theprecise midpoint of the year, so thateach half of a psi quadrant also switchesfrom being either a transmitting field ora receptor field. Both sets of telepathicteams model a code of instructions thatfollows the Telektonon calendar playingboard in such a way that over the regularcycle of the thirteen-moon year, the 260(x 2) psi chrono units are telepathicallyactivated. Both sets of teams also followinstructions for aligning the human withthe planet holon by activating the 73annual overtone chromatics that main-tain the biomass constant—the value bywhich life in the biosphere retains its sta-bility of quantity and biodiversity.

The crux and essence of thisexperiment is this: through centuries andeven millennia of 12:60 maladoption,humanity has become magneticallydestabilized; it has ruptured its magneticresonance, the principle by which anorganism maintains its bond with itsmedium, the biosphere. While the birds,whales, and ants, for example, all main-tain their biogeomagnetic resonance,and hence remain stable in their com-

munities and navigate the Earth instinc-tually, the humans have replaced thisnatural resonance with technologicalelectromagnetic contrivances of allkinds. The sum effect is a disastrousmagnetic destabilization. Airwaves areinundated with staggering amounts ofrandom and incomprehensible informa-tion bits; HAARP and GPS satellite sys-tems interfere with the electromagneticradiation belts and ionosphere; andeverywhere, urban humanity expands innumber, becoming more lost in the madrush of cities whose lifestyles resemblemore and more the sciencefiction land-scapes of movies like Blade Runner andClockwork Orange.

The collective experiment intime, the Four Years of the First WorldPeace, is meant to correct this situationas soon as possible to forestall evenworse disasters by calling an end to civi-lization as it is now constituted. In aword, humanity has exceeded the bios-pheric norm, broken the biomass con-stant, and now needs to restabilize itself.All of this, too, is a function of the bios-phere-noosphere transition, the adventof the psi bank: nature evaluates thehuman transformation.

Indispensable to this experimentis an understanding of the nature andfunction of the four double-hemisphericpsi plates described in complete detailin the maps of Earth Ascending, notedabove. In re-establishing human telepa-

thy, the psi bank will progress throughfour stages to its point of ultimate climaxand manifestation: the telepathicallyactivated rainbow bridge which utilizes,extends, and connects the aurora bore-al is of the north pole with the auroraaustralis of the south pole. Following thisexperiment rigorously over four years,humanity will witness each year its con-sciousness altering, its telepathy increas-ing, its capacity for self-healingreturning, its simplicity of being and nat-ural order occurring evermore sponta-neously, and its sense of harmony andinstinctual artistic behavior becomingthe norm. This, in essence, is the natureof the experiment to actively trigger themanifestation of the psi bank. To under-take this experiment is an heroic act ofcourage. Yet it is the only option for sur-vival. By not taking this opportunity,humanity seals its own doom.

It is for this reason that the thirdedition of Earth Ascending is the indis-pensable textbook of the invisible col-lege administering the Earth-ethicalcurriculum of the biosphere-noospheretransition. May this also be the last andmost definitive edition. Beyond the mil-lennial flash point of the manifestatioof the psi bank, the galactic future willbe reinscribed within our very cells.Telepathy will provide the knowledgewe now lack. Spiritually one, we shallturn as one into another vast cycle ofevolving intelligence, Earth Ascending.

He directs the affairsFrom the heavensTo the Earth, thenIt Ascends unto Him, on a DayThe measure of which isA thousand yearsOf your reckoning.

About the AuthorJose Arguelles, messenger of the newtime, born in 1939, received his Ph.D. inArt History and Aesthetics from the Uni-versity of Chicago in 1969. His distin-guished career as an educator began atPrinceton University in 1966, and con-tinued for the next 23 years at the Uni-versity of California, Davis, TheEvergreen State College, The NaropaInstitute, San Francisco State University,San Francisco Institute of Art, Universityof Colorado, Denver, and the UnionGraduate School.

His pioneering books, translatedinto many languages, are the result ofhis own artistic activity and scientificinvestigations into whole systems:Mandate (co-author, 1972), CharlesHenry and the Formation of a Psy-chophysical Aesthetic (1972), The Trans-formative Vision (1975, 1992), TheFeminine Spacious as the Sky (co-author,1977), Earth Ascending (1984, 1988,1996), The Mayan Factor (1987), Surfersof the Zuvuya (1988), The Call of PacalVotan, Time is the Fourth Dimension(1996), The Arcturus Probe, Tales andReports of an Ongoing Investigation(1996).

As one of the original foundersof Earth Day (First Whole Earth Festival,Davis, California, 1970), Arguelles is alifelong activist for peace and the plane-

tary transformation of consciousness.With his wife and partner, Lloydine, hefounded the Planet Art Network (1983),promoting the revival of the NicholasRoerich Peace Pact and Banner of Peace(1935). Working with prophetic informa-tion received from Tony Shearer in 1970,Arguelles distilled his lifelong study ofthe mathematics and prophecies of theMayan Calendar into the HarmonicConvergence, August 16-17, 1987, theinfamous global meditation and plane-tary peace event.

Following his unraveling of theMayan calendar code in his interna-tional bestseller The Mayan Factor(1987), Arguelles, with Lloydine contin-ued his scientific and mathematic inves-tigations of the codes of time underlyingthe Mayan Calendar system of ancientCentral America. The result of their jointresearch was the discovery of the 12:60and 13:20 timing frequencies and thebreakthrough set of tools and proofs ofthe mathematics of fourth-dimensionaltime, Dreamspell, The Journey of Time-ship Earth 2013 (1991).

In 1993, 40 years after he hadhis first knowledge of the mathematicsof the Mayan Calendar, Arguelles begandecoding the final prophecy cycle ofPalenque, the "Telektonon of PacalVotan/' This prophecy gave birth to the

World Thirteen Moon Calendar ChangePeace Movement (1993) to whose causethe Arguelles' both devoted their lives.As planetary peace pilgrims their mes-sage has taken them around the planet.In 1996, they convened the first Plane-tary Congress of Biospheric Rights(Brazilia), and conducted the Four Cor-ners Boundary Dissolving Ceremony.Telektonon, The Game of Prophecy wasproduced in 1996. Arguelles is presentlycoordinating the Invisible College of theFirst World Peace, 1996-2000.

Earth Ascending is a workbook for human and planetarysurvival. This collection of fifty holonomic maps and compre-hensive text is based on a resonant field paradigm whichtranscends the Newtonian materialistic model. Each individualmap is a work of art unto itself, encapsulating a world of insightarid consciousness, and bridging the gap to an integrated,galactic worldview.

In 1978, Buckminster Fuller said that it would be curtains forhumanity if a design revolution were not completed within tenyears. It is now ten years later, and as a convincing response tothis challenge, Earth Ascending postulates a planetary designwhich envisions the evolving field of Earth in relation to thegalactic whole.

Earth Ascending demands a stretch of consciousness. Our fallfrom spiritual realization and our degradation of the environ-ment are the result of a blind acceptance of one-dimensionality,and a paralyzed, complacent acceptance of impending doom.Only a rebirth into the numinous world of multidimensionalinterface will give us the vision to create a new future. EarthAscending offers this vision.
