“The process of making a work of art is that of creating a center around which
the energies and forces of the larger life of the soul gather. Thus, the process,
and the painting itself, begin to heal the split, the lack of connection with the
divine, which is the root of all disease."
Lee Lawson. (83)

"Earth Shall Bloom Again"
In the late 1970's, whether I’m painting outdoors or in the studio, the phrases, “Now is the Time” and “Earth Shall Bloom Again” keep intruding into my mind and artwork. I’m inspired to paint a series of works on a Regeneration theme. My favorite subjects are abandoned apple orchards, whose unattended twisted stumps and mutilated limbs continue to burst into bloom every spring for years.
The Lost River Valleys of central Idaho are filled with old cabins, barns, deserted ranches, and vast fields and mountainsides carpeted with wild flowers. As I paint the charming, old abandoned places on location, tears spring up into my eyes. I’m opening to something dearly and lovingly cradled within the valley’s mountain arms__ something nestled deeply and poignantly within myself as well. I sense Earth is entering a crucial phase in Her history.
A large watercolor from the Regeneration series__ a gnarled apple tree in full bloom __is later purchased by the Pocatello Regional Medical Center. Soon after, a young neighbor stops by to thank me for that painting. Her dad was rushed to the Pocatello hospital after a severe heart attack. She and her mother sat in the waiting room, growing more distraught and anxious as the hours inched by. Near midnight, with still nothing new on her dad’s condition, she suggested a walk down the hall to distract her mother.
They came upon the Apple Blossom painting in a dim-lit corner with a tiny lamp above it. Her mother recognized the artist as their neighbor. She gazed at the artwork awhile, then began to weep. The daughter, fearing for her mother’s welfare, asked if she was all right. "Oh”, said her mother, “I‘m fine. I just realized that if God and artists can create such beauty as this, then I know Dad will be all right, too”. When they returned to the waiting room. The doctor had glad news: Dad was out of danger and would make a full recovery.
Sensing the power inherent in artworks to affect mind and body__ energy artists enter higher dimensional states of consciousness wherein they can affect the physical realm. As Truly Enlightened individuals, an energy transference from the pineal to the pituitary gland occurs as we ask ourselves, "Where is this Higher Self coming from?". Egos then retreat, leaving us in control of our minds, rather than enslaved by them. This energy transference affects our physical bodies and touches others as well. (1)
Water’s Creative Power
Masaru Emoto tested the effects of human thought and emotion on water crystals. After a temple priest prayed for an hour, the mis-shapen, sample lumps of water crystals became transparent, hexagonal “crystal-within-crystal” forms. The frozen samples had changed even at molecular levels. (84)
Water will absorb information. The purer the water, the better. “Water from clear mountain springs and streams has beautifully formed crystalline structures, while the crystals of polluted or stagnant water are deformed and distorted".... "Distilled water exposed to classical music takes delicate, symmetrical crystalline shapes".... "When the words “thank you” were taped to a bottle of distilled water, the frozen crystals had a similar shape to the crystals formed by water that had been exposed to Bach’s “Goldberg Variations”__ music composed out of gratitude to the man for whom it was named".... "When Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel” was played to this water, the resulting frozen crystals split in two." (84)
When water samples are bombarded with heavy metal music, or labeled with harsh words, or when negative thoughts and emotions are focused upon it, the water does not form crystals at all and displays chaotic, fragmented structures. When water is treated with aromatic floral oils, the water crystals tend to mimic the shape of the original flower: rose oil added to water will cause its crystals to form the shape of a rose. "Oddly, when the words ‘Do it’ were taped on the water's container, they, did not affect the water at all, but ‘Let’s do it’ formed crystals like beautiful snowflakes.” (84) Human bodies and Earth are both composed of over seventy percent water, suggesting that the positive thoughts and emotions we imprinted into our bodies' water have power to heal people, animals, plants and perhaps, our planet.
Sound, Shapes and Light can affect us positively or negatively. Everyone feels the inspiration evoked from the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, the Sidney Opera House or the grand cathedrals and pyramids around the globe; but the shapes of a swastika, a vulture or skull can bring feelings of fear or disgust. For many artists, the very act of painting is therapeutic during troubling times, improving mentality and lifting emotions. Art heals the split between the old and the new realities when it affects bodies, minds, emotions or spirit within.
Sports and Movement
Zen spiritual practices use meditations and disciplined body movements as methods for emptying the mind and body prior to embracing that emptiness of self to move into higher consciousness states. Sports can be a westernized version of Zen, producing similar effects. Most innovative people pursue some type of sports or physical exercise. Jogging or brisk walking are favorites. Aerobic exercises, breathing techniques, swimming and Tai Chi or yoga clear the head, unite body, mind and emotions and help one to center within Spirit.
The body movements of dance, sports and martial arts are combinations of discipline and meditation that can bridge inner and outer realms to bond 3-D with higher dimensional states of awareness. Commitment is vital. When the creative skill of Self-Discipline is applied to the body, it also structures the mind, freeing it from inner “mind noises”. Rather than focusing on perfecting postures or positions, encouraging energy flow within the body and keeping the mind pure while performing, assists the athlete to calm and stabilize both inner and outer selves. Otherwise, it’s like trying to expertly maneuver a well-tuned car through an obstacle course while the driver is drunk.
Many sports can keep us in the moment where we can access mind and spirit. J. La Croix, athlete, coach and teacher, tells how runners “hit the wall” at certain distances, but if they push on in spite of mental and physical fatigue, they move into higher modes of awareness which feed the body the energy it needs to perform extraordinary feats.
C. Canine, black belt holder and former teacher of the Korean martial art, Tang Soo Do, says when she gets into the Zone during a sparring competition, she suddenly feels as if Time no longer exists__ past, present and future are one __ and she anticipates her opponent’s next move even before he begins to execute it.
Anthropologist Felicitas Goodman noticed a similarity of body positions depicted in the arts of indigenous cultures of the world__ many from times and places that could not possibly have had contact with each other. When she and others adopted those postures in meditations or ritualistic trances, they all had similar experiences of altered states of mind. (85)
Physical movement to Music can further accelerate consciousness development. In the Flower of Life workshop in Texas, 1994, a hundred students danced in the dimly lit ballroom. Without partners, we simply moved to the rhythm and emotion of uplifting live music played non-stop for hours. Suddenly, some other force began moving my body__ it was as if Spirit were “dancing me”.
As I slid out of bed next morning, the sense of extraordinary forces controlling my body was still there; I was walking several inches above the surface of the floor__ levitating. Asking the class facilitators about this phenomenon, I learned it was a natural consequence of combining sacred music with years of meditation.
The Power of Sound
When we move to Music__ the heartbeat of energy__ a resonance develops between rhythmic sound waves and rhythmic body waves. Dancing allows energy transfers to occur. Rhythmic dance music has been shown to perform powerful healing and balancing functions. It charges the lower energy centers, grounds the physical body and vitalizes it by pumping energy into it. (12)
Consciousness evolution, music and mathematics are closely interrelated. Mathematics__ the physicist’s “language”__ links everything in the universe, as does Music. Even hyperdimensional (dimensions beyond 3-D) realms follow the laws of musical proportion and harmony. Shakespeare's works have special powers because the words and rhythm of the words dictate Breathing, and the breathing dictates Emotion. (Mel Gibson).
Aware of ancient peoples’ practices of aligning sacred site and monument orientations with astronomical constellations, archaeologists researched the placement of the Aztec temple pyramids at Teotihuacan near Mexico City. They found the pyramids located according to a musical pattern replicating the exact proportions of the spacing between planets and asteroids in our solar system. (86) One researcher likened the processional to a huge guitar with frets along its neck, with the pyramids and temples marking planetary positions, at those frets where fingers are placed to produce the string vibrations matching exact musical scale tones. He then transposed this planet-fret-spacing to musical notes on a printed music staff. It made chords which reproduced the opening tones of Strauss’ composition, “Thus Spake Zarathustra”, used by Stanley Kubrick as the opening theme for his film, "2001: A Space Odyssey".
The Classic Maya spaced their buildings along the Yucatan processional in similar musical-plantary fashion. They even included several then undiscovered planets__ one closer to the Sun than Mercury, plus Pluto and one or two others farther out from Pluto. Pluto was unknown to modern day astronomers before 1930. (86)
Music is perceived as originating from an outside source like a TV, a babbling brook or someone singing, but few people realize that sound impacts the body internally. The voice especially, has power to influence internal organs. Catatonic patients have been known to respond to poetry. When we speak aloud, our diaphragm vibrates with the sound, and we feel these word-vibrations resonating throughout our bodies. This idea is behind the use of affirmations, mantras and chants.
Sound Healing is a new science. "The body responds to high intensity vibrations in a musical, unified-energy field environment".... "Music can set up a chain reaction that begins as sound, passes through your feelings and thinking, and" ... :influences your current state of health".... "During the first five minutes the body is becoming entrained to the vibrations of the music." (12) Indigenous people say that the musical tones of F#, G and A are the most sacred sounds.
Sound and music bypass intellect to directly saturate the emotional nature, releasing blocked feelings when body parts synchronize with each other__ suggesting drug-free therapies. Intention (a creative skill) can ride on a sound wave, and Rhythm (creative skill) serves as “an energy pump through time.” The same vowel sound of “ah” can make a plant shrivel up or thrive, depending on the Intent of the speaker in that moment. (12) (See "The Power of Sound" in Archives )
Physical 3-D dimensional sound directly impacts other dimensions. The sound of a drum or rhythmically struck object acoustically alters both the physical and energetic bodies’ responses to the various dimensions. Cultures throughout history have used music and sound to train mankind’s consciousness, whether by the ringing of a bell, a voice echoing from a minaret to call the faithful to prayer, the shaking of the shaman’s rattle during a healing, the cowboy crooning to restless cattle at night, the swelling tones of a massive pipe organ or the soothing balance of Pachabel’s “Canon in D”. All can float us into other worlds, introducing us to a sea of alternate realities. (6)
Not only human beings and birds sing, but so do whales. They can even memorize and repeat musical phrases. Mozart, fascinated by birdsongs, found they produced basic rhythms similar to human music. He once composed music based on a starling’s song. Starlings (western blackbirds) have great vocal talents, being able to imitate human sounds and musical creations. (89)
The Blackbird Serenade
Our California study group met in our RV one afternoon to meditate with Tom Kenyon's “Wave Form” audio cassette which was inspired by the sounds of nature and designed to help us attune to Earth. (39) After twenty minutes of meditation, the tape ended, but although we turned off the stereo, the sound continued. Then we realized the music was coming from outside. About forty western blackbirds had gathered in a small tree just outside the open door. They imitated the “Wave Form” music perfectly for another five minutes.
While writing or painting, I like loud music. Not strong enough to injure eardrums or annoy the neighbors, but loud enough to vibrate my physical and energy bodies to higher frequencies. The kind of music we choose is important. It must be emotionally positive, lest we negate our emotional body while trying to vitalize the physical. Our intuition knows what music is uplifting. Music can even enhance our spiritual path when it inspires us positively. When classical or good music makes our heart sing, our entire being feels ecstatic. Certain patterns of sound induce states of mind that aren’t otherwise easily accessed. When uplifting music moves our focus toward Creator Source, we’ll resonate more closely with The Force's vibration.
But if it’s “dark” music, we begin to feel uneasy, then irritable, then angry, and the body will sometimes even produce physical pain. Most of us have seen people dancing to music so disturbing, so discordant, that the only way it can get people vibrating is by deafening them. The dance then becomes a sort of beastly orgy in which we see the participants’ faces... “contorted with weird expressions midway between a snarl and a smirk.” (12) Remember__ when we express a word or thought audibly, we project it out to the world in a standing wave. It begins to outwardly manifest__it becomes our physical reality. (39)
A Flagstaff Live news brief, August, 1997, reported on the first place winner of the Virginia state science fair. David Merrell experimented with mice and music. First he built a maze that took the mice about ten minutes to negotiate. Then he played classical music to one group of mice, and hardrock to another group for ten hours each day. After three weeks, the mice exposed to classical music made it through the maze in ninety seconds. The rock music mice took thirty minutes. Merrell added, “I had to cut my science project short because all the hard-rock mice killed each other. None of the classical music mice did that.”
Creativity contains intellectual energy. Applying it not only relieves boredom, but can also make us smarter. There’s a direct link between hearing and learning. Children hear while still in the womb. Mozart’s music, played at low level, stimulates and integrates the brain, improves learning capacity, overcomes learning disabilities, enhances creativity and spatial intelligence, reduces stress and even raises IQ for both children and adults, as evidenced by “The Mozart Effect” and “The Mozart Effect for Children”__ CDs produced by Don Campbell from research of the French physician, Dr. Alfred Tomatis. (92)
In western society, we move from activity to activity, insensitive as to how nearby sounds affect us. Music helps us to draw images from within. We can watch our individually unique pictographs emerge, discerning shapes and colors suitable for healing mandalas or collages, for murals, fabric arts or for hanging art when ill. To Be Human, then, means to have inherent gifts for influencing natural processes through the arts.
Visual Influences
In late 2005, the Gooding, Idaho, School District, due to lack of funding, had to cancel art and music classes in the elementary grades, and use the money for academic subjects so students could raise their standings in the Bush Administrations' "No Child Left Behind" program, requiring children to be regularly tested, and produce test scores showing improvement every year. If not, the school would lose federal and state funding.
This was particularly difficult because in this area of Idaho, classes consist of one-third hispanic students__ many with little or no English language skills__one-third mentally, emotionally or physically challenged students, and the other third ordinary students. The Idaho State School for the Deaf and Blind exists in Gooding, and its students are also mainstreamed through the public schools. Very little improvement was shown in the test scores, which had the school board, administration, teachers and parents greatly concerned. Not only were the scores disappointing, but with academic subjects only being memorized and not requiring original solutions, the students were either mentally over-loaded, bored or both.
An after-school-enrichment program was formed for the elementary grades starting January, 2006. Using both teachers on staff and community volunteers, several classes were made available, including one on drama and another on drawing__ this last taught by members of the local art guild. The drawing class became so popular, they had a waiting list twice as long as the number of desks available in the classroom. Parents, students and teachers soon began praising the results of this new program, particularly the art classes, which were at first limited to 2nd through 4th graders.
The next testing period, academic scores rose and continued to do so, showing a 37% increase at the semester's end for the elementary students. It seems that creative challenges and problem-solving activities actually do raise IQs and keep both sides of the brain interactive.
Plans were made to offer the after-school arts, music, dance and/or drama classes all year long, and to increase the time from 2 to 4 hours a week. Middle School students would also have their specialized creative arts activities, and even the month-long summer school would offer similar choices. For further information on our children's current leaps in IQ, refer to Dr. P.M.H. Atwater's website, the lower right side, and click on "Beyond the Indigo Children" . www.pmhatwater.com
Most innovative people are well-balanced psychologically and soon discover how visual images can be transformative. Even simply viewing art changes attitudes and physical conditions by altering brain wave patterns, affecting our autonomic nervous systems, hormonal balances and brain neuro-transmitters. (93) Paintings and sculptures have been placed in hospitals and institutions where the sight of them lifts thoughts and emotions and precipitates healing energies not only in patients, but also in friends, families and staff. Attuning to Spirit/Creative Force by any means, is the most healing thing we can do for ourselves.
Our energy centers transmute energy from higher levels down to the physical. (Figure 2) As beings of light, our auras/energy fields glow with color. Each major center resonates with a certain hue. The lowest center at the base of the spine corresponds to the color red and the musical “Middle C”. The tone of “D” resonates to the reproductive 2nd center and the color orange. The brow chakra holds the color indigo and vibrates with "A", and so on up the scales. Depending on the state of our etheric energy body, each of us beams our personal vibrational rainbow to the world at large. A photo of an aura appears in Chapter 1: The Creative Modes.
Just as Sharry Edwards heals with her voice by replicating missing tones from the client’s voice, we too can meditate on colors and colored light to foster regeneration and wellness to our physical bodies. The effect is amazing when the personal color vibrations of the aura and the astrological planetary positions are formed into a mandala ("Uranus Rising").
In the distant past, art and healing were one. Art was used as a transformational tool. About 16,000 years ago, hunters drew animal shapes on the cave walls at Lascaux, France, to entreat the spirits of those they needed for food. In 2001, another cave was discovered near Cussac in the Dordogne Valley of western France, once a stronghold of the Knights Templar. It held drawings of... ”wild animals, hybrid bears, birds and women and erotic imagery” (94) and is believed to have been made between 22,000 and 28,000 years ago. Experts are still analyzing drawings and engravings found in 1994 in a cave of the Ardeche region of France, dating back 32,000 years.
Scientists examining some of these caves. noted there were a series of dots on many of the animal's bodies. One fellow who had musical training, saw how these dots corresponded with musical notes. Later, when they brought musical instruments and played those tones, the hoofbeats of the animal bearing the matching dots could be heard galloping through the cave. This astounding phenomenon indicates an extremely high level of technological development in what we used to think of as "primitive humans".
Medicine men and women used rhythmic sounds and sand painting images to heal. Agricultural peoples drew or molded fertility figures, and sang and danced to encourage bountiful harvests. Spiritual groups all over the world still use art and music to attune to the Creator for healing. We are now recovering this ancient wisdom. Many artists are developing spontaneous powerful paintings holding regenerative energies, relying on their intuition to guide them..
The shaman in tribal cultures sees the hidden worlds and shares his visions with the people, bringing them out as art, music, dance and storytelling. By his healing imagery and sacred rituals, the shaman brings the visions into manifestation. Jade Wah'oo Grigori says a Shaman is he or she who "has the ability to explore with consciousness the non-linear worlds that surround and pervade our physical reality, and the ability to act within those worlds. "This is ancient, magical healing__ the way the world was created from Spirit’s vision. We are all Creator's great vision. (33)
Artists producing transformational sounds and images are the shamans of our time, experiencing their own lives as vision quests, seeing and hearing the images and voices of the living Earth. “The first artist and the first healer were one__ the shaman__ so the concept itself is deeply rooted in history". ...(It is)... "about you going inward to your source of power. It does not need a teacher or a trip to India, it only needs you where you are now, and the Earth around you". ... "The first step is the making of the shaman, which involves surrender to the Earth” (33) Seeing all Earth as sacred, the next step is re-framing your whole life as sacred and healing__ evolving into a "Human Masterpiece".
“The third step is the healing"... "which involves doing rituals to heal yourself, others and Earth. In the moments that you do this, you will be found, and know who you are, because the living Earth gives you the gifts of who you are and what you are to do. This will lead you to the place on Earth where you will know that you are perfectly loved. It will bring out your inner artist and healer. It will let you be yourself. For all we are is her most beautiful aspect, her artist and healer, her visionary dreamer.” (33)
Sacred Geometry
As I photographed, sketched and painted from nature, I began to see and feel a basic pattern running through all visual forms. This pattern also resonated with musical notes and harmonics. It was as if I could “hear” light, texture, color and form, and “see” tones, harmonies, rhythms and whole passages of music and sounds as they fit into that great pattern. I began using this matrix as an underlying foundation for my paintings. I built up shapes, colors lines and textures of trees, people, mountains, flowers, buildings, birds__ everything visual__ based upon this underlying blueprint__ realizing how everything is interrelated with everything else.
And then I invented and inserted shapes and colors not actually perceived with my physical eyes__ images only sensed as inherent to that pattern I saw in both nature and myself. My work became a combination of abstraction, impressionism and realism all in one composition, giving it a mystical quality. Attunement to the unseen energetic forces of nature renewed my childhood and youth relationship with nature spirits, auras and energy fields.
My friend Melissa, knowing of my interest in nature’s patterns, sent copies of pages from Lawlor’s Sacred Geometry (then out of print). In it I recognized the Golden Mean Rectangle and Spiral forms (Figure 6-A). as part of my compositions. The Golden Mean proportions were used by Renaissance and Old Master artists, and are still effective in today’s art and architecture. Geometry, Sound and Light are the foundation of all 3-D physical things.
Years later, I opened to past lives, and worked to release their “traumas” through Basic Inner Technologies. Then Melissa sent video tapes from one of Drunvalo Melchizedek’s workshops. “It’s so much like you’ve told me about your past lives and bizarre experiences”, she said. The renegade videos had been taped by a student in one of Drunvalo’s early Flower of Life seminars on Sacred Geometry.
And there was my Oneness Pattern in its entirety__ the pattern I perceived as underlying everything in Nature and upon which I composed my paintings: The Flower of Life. And yes__ it IS the universal matrix through which everything in 3-D existence manifests. (Figure 5.)
In April, 1994, I had the privilege of taking the ten day intensive Flower of Life seminar in Austin, Texas with one hundred students from around the world. Drunvalo has now written The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Vol. I & II, based on these workshops. He presented ideas astonishingly similar to what I’d experienced in past lives, and in this life, since the NDE at the dentist's__ the "pop" which awakened me to the inner path twenty-nine years earlier (a Saturn cycle). He also presented a profound and expanded exposition of Sacred Geometries and how they assist us to raise our consciousness. (95) Sacred geometrical shapes can raise our consciousness when we simply view them!
The Flower of Life symbol is found world-wide and is “the primal language of the universe; pure shape and proportion.” Reality itslef is created through the proportions of its geometry. It is a language of a very high and extremely precise level. This design contains the Kabalists’ Tree of Life and another important shape “formed when the centers of two equal-radius circles are placed on each other’s circumferences. The area where the two circles intersect forms what is called a Vesica Piscis (Figure 6-B). Shaped like a human eye, it symbolizes a Womb. (45)
Certain geometric designs affect both consciousness and physical states. We feel this when we view the architecture and art of the Renaissance, the Great Pyramids, the statues and structures of ancient Rome or Greece, Stonehenge and Mayan, Aztec or Egyptian monuments and temples. Claude Monet knew that when a particular flower was blooming, it would be at a peak of Harmony (a creative skill) with every other blossom, bud, leaf or twig in his garden, no matter what its stage of growth. He expressed that in his paintings.
An ancient truth says that... “all life emerges from the same blueprint.” Deonarine Gopee, when reviewing Robert Lawlor’s book, Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice for Amazon.com, tells how scientific tests found that any set of chemicals arranged in the same geometrical order as found in a rose will smell the same. Exploring Sacred Geometry, we can see that... "life springs from the same source__ the intelligent force some call ‘God, Spirit, Creator''. We gain an expanded perception of the universe: all of reality is sacred” (96)
The Flower of Life pattern, considered sacred among both ancient and modern cultures around the world, holds all the Sacred Geometrical building blocks of the universe__ the Golden Section, the Platonic Solids, the Circle, Square, Triangle, Spirals, the Vesica Piscis, the Tube Torus and many more. It symbolizes the inner-connectedness between all that exists. The Platonic Solids: Sphere, Tetrahedron, Icosahedron and Dodecahedron, are ...“important because they are found in the rudimentary construction of organic life, as well as in music, art, language and in consciousness itself.” (45) They affect us on subconscious levels.
The Golden Mean has been a standard of beauty for artists for hundreds of years, and both the Golden Mean and Fibonacci Spirals are the primary energy patterns for all vortex formations. The Golden Mean Spiral is formed upon the Phi sequence of numbers and the Fibonacci Spiral upon the Prime Numbers sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is Nature’s way of creating the Golden Mean using whole numbers. These two spirals were important to the great cultures of history__ and still are today.
Viewed from above, a Golden Mean Spiral (Figure 6-A) appears as the layout chosen for the Giza Pyramid location in Egypt and also for the Glastonbury plain (Avebury, Silbury Hill and Stonehenge) in England. If we place a Golden Mean Spiral above a zodiac chart wheel, the shadow of the tight, center spiral falls upon the cusp between Aquarius and Pisces. Astrologically, humanity is moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius at this time.
When this center spiral is laid upon Earth’s North Pole, the curving line points directly to the Four Corners area of the U.S.A.__ where Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico meet__ long held sacred by southwestern Native Americans. I used a similar Spiral to locate the Idaho Stargate and the “eye” of its vortex, by laying it over a map of the three buttes in the Arco High Desert which reflect Orion's belt, as do the Giza Great Pyramids. See Archives for more on Sacred Shapes)
The Phi or Golden Mean ratio is crucial to our consciousness evolution because it has been found to exist in the harmonic frequencies of our hearts at the very moment we send Love to another being. Called “nesting”, it occurs when electrical and sound fields around the heart form “loops within loops, within loops” as they converge according to this Phi wave ratio. (90) It mathematically and musically demonstrates the Oneness phenomena.
Pyramids have been shown to produce measurable changes in the human brain’s electromagnetic behavior. Dr. Patrick Flanagan’s famous book, "Pyramid Power", interpreted the energy of particular geometric shapes. Dr. Nicholas Begich and Dr. Reijo Makela carried this research further, seeking correlations between geometrical shapes and sound waves. They found that an object's shape could intensify the transference of energy. This energy exchange took different forms... “including electrical energy, heat, light and sound”, confirming that geometry combined with sound has definite effects on people and plants. (82)
Flanagan's, Begich's and Makela's researches show that there really are no mysterious “pyramid powers... "if any kind of cone or pyramid is placed at the center between two poles in an electromagnet, it will increase the magnetic flux lines both in volume and flux density".... "The angles of the pyramid"... "form an axis in which an electromagnetic wave is propagated without double refraction, thus the waves are separated from each other and each frequency or rotational force works independently, until it meets another wave with the same frequency and thus, the same rotational force. When these two waves (or a large number of similar waves) meet, the force formed is that of resonance; not the sum of waves, but the sum of the waves squared (multiplied against themselves). That means that at the top of the cone or pyramid, the rotary force is very high. This can also be measured as marked increases in the magnetic fields.” (82)
A Tube Torus is a donut-shaped, geometric form. If you wrapped yarn around and around a donut to entirely cover it, with each cord of yarn passing through its center, until at that center, every cord of yarn would exactly touch all the others, you would understand the Tube Torus__ the sacred geometrical shape of the energy field around a human being and around Earth. It is the energetic shape of our Milky Way galaxy. Its form suggests tremendous possibilities for communication within and around it. To see an animated image, go to www.harmonicresolution.com/Toroidal%20Space.htm and scroll down to "The Torus in the Harmonic Resolution Therapy".
Geometry is now a major tool for understanding the new physics of time and molecular bonding. (97) The Flower of Life symbol CONTAINS ALL KNOWLEDGES, and illustrates the CONNECTIONS underlying all life everywhere. This fascinating field of study is an amazingly vast subject, far beyond the scope of this book. Drunvalo Melchizedek has studied Sacred Geometry for over 30 years and his books (95) can open you to worlds of wisdom you never knew existed. These are the books to read to learn more about human consciousness evolution and sacred geometry forms.
We've mentioned how the creative potential of humans is so profound that Hitler and Stalin feared it, imprisoning the intellectuals and creative people from Germany and the countries they invaded, and exterminating millions. Therefore, it was a shock to hear a participant on CNN Live Talk Show, May 11, 1998, announce that some fundamental religious groups had succeeded in banning even the use of the word, “imagination” in New Hampshire schools. A similar effect is developing in the U.S. where schools focus on math and science, dumbing-down our children by eliminating classes in creativity, imagination and discussion, preventing integration of right and left brains.
Creating with energetic as well as with physical mediums, artists can now express through profound processes, integrating the common bonds of Art, Science and Spirituality for the 21st Century. Edgar Cayce said that Light is the medicine of the future: “As art and healing merge, the field of art will be changed and the field of medicine will be changed. For many of us, healing art is a spiritual path, a transformational process, a way of being.” (93)
