Gaia Satellite Scanning
I recently discovered this awesome documentary showing the systems of the Earth as revealed by hundreds of satellites scanning on almost every frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum. As they say near the beginning, this is the age of discovery, nearly every day new aspects of how the Earth works are being revealed!
This surely lends even more credence to the… Continue reading

The golden ratio (phi), and its associated Fibonacci number sequence, are extremely important, but not for the reasons many people imagine. The most important attribute of phi is that it is the MOST irrational ratio. It tends to be used by living processes BECAUSE it is as far from the whole numbers and octave ratios as possible.•••••• MIRROR: vimeo.com/9953368 •••••• A movie inspired on numbers, geometry and nature, by Cristóbal Vila · Go to www.etereaestudios.com for more i...

Totally radical yoga pants design made from overlapping triangles of the primary colors. Available here sacredgeometrical.com/products/spectral-triangles-yoga-pants - The relationship between red, green, blue, and cyan, magenta, yellow, is a very interesting one. The study of light and the theory of color has been one of the most fruitful areas of science, and yet there are still many mysteries as to why and how and even 'what' we are perceiving! Perhaps the colors you perceive are totally different from those I perceive, and yet, to a large extent we can agree that some colors go better together than others.

My posts of 3D fractals lead me to this interview of the late father of fractals Benoit Mandelbrot and his protege in the application of fractals to economics Nassim Taleb. Personally I think the catastrophic collapse of the money system might be a very good thing ! 'Black Swan' theory, and 'Anti-Fragility' are very interesting conceptsBenoit Mandelbrot thinks the global economy is in dire straits.

Many have been introduced to the work of the Persian mystic poet Hafiz, and become devoted fans, because of the 'translations' of Daniel Ladinsky. If you are one of these, you may not realise that you are as much (if not more) a fan of Ladinsky's work than of the work of Hafiz, as this writing below from Ladinsky explains, they are certainly not translations, but interpretations, versions, inspirations, transmitted across the centuries. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That Sounds Wonderful
Good poetry
Makes a beautiful naked woman
Materialize from
Words,
Who then says
With a sword precariously waving
In her hands,
If you look at my loins
I will cut off your head,
And reach down and grab your spirit
By its private parts,
And carry you off to heaven
Squealing in joy.
Hafiz says,
That sounds wonderful, just
Wonderful.
Someone please--start writing
Some great
Lines.

Re the cocreation of these poems by Hafiz and Daniel Ladinsky ...
by Daniel Ladinsky
I thought I might step into the middle of a blurb/reader's review war that seems active, at times, around this book.
There is an essay I wrote and published in an earlier edition of the The Subject Tonight Is Love: Sixty Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz, VERSIONS by Daniel Ladinsky, that was called -- My Portrait of Hafiz, as that is what I feel my work with Hafiz really is, my unique portrait of him. A portrait based on my study of thousands of pages of stories and poems that are attributed to Hafiz. And this book The Gift was first offered to Penguin with the word VERSIONS on the cover rather than the word translations, for I have never claimed my work with Hafiz is a traditional -- scholarly -- translation, for how could it be for I do not know or speak Farsi (Persian) at all fluently, though at times I have worked with several translators who do know Farsi as their first language. Though once the book (The Gift) got to Penguin, that is into the hands and minds of the very literate, some there saw and knew -- as any good dictionary will tell you -- that a primary definition of the word translation is: A written or spoken rendering, an interpretation of the significance of a work in another language... And thus the word VERSIONS was changed to translations. Also, I feel that the deeper one gets into the study of Hafiz the less of a scholarly foundation there really is to have any intelligent debate about what he may or may not have actually said; thus all we truly have of Hafiz in ANY language is a VERSION. We unfortunately don't even know when Hafiz was actually born or when he died. No doubt there is the establishment's view of Hafiz, but I have never been one to fully trust a bunch of religious or cerebral conservatives. My great research into Hafiz has revealed, what I feel, is enough genuine DNA to reconstruct Hafiz if you will into a more astounding, brilliant man, into a more wild and vital life giving -- encompassing sun. I love these words that are attributed to Hafiz, I have found them so encouraging in trying to do justice to this world-treasured poet, those words are, No one could ever paint a too wonderful picture of my heart or God.
I feel there are saints in this world, and I feel I have walked with one for hundreds of miles in India, and on many occasions he would listen to me recite my renderings/versions of Hafiz, as a matter of fact this teacher choreographed my coming to work with the poems of Hafiz. And if this man had not sanctioned me in the most remarkable of ways -- not one single book of mine would ever have been published. Hafiz is not only one of Islam's greatest literary wonders, Hafiz is also one of history's most vital poet-seers. I feel I have shown the greatest of respect to his work. I have prayed hundreds of times for help to try and reveal something of Hafiz's soul & beauty.
Hafiz has no peer. Said Goethe. And Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, Hafiz is a poet for poets. I hope you find some REAL POETRY in some book of Hafiz, for then you will agree with Goethe and Emerson. Then, in that book, you will find a great teacher and lasting friend. And then ... you can be saved by a poem whenever you want. But remember, any verse that cannot flirt with the sublime and comfort you -- or lift the corners of your mouth with delightful humor -- has really nothing to do wtih HAFIZ. Anything mediocre about him is really fraud.
Thanks for your time here. I hope what I have written may help the review-war ebb. I hope this book aids all wars to realize the insanity of their being. With that in mind why not end with this verse I bet Hafiz might feel just fine in having his named pinned to by me.
I think this old great Persian Master and I once shared some bread together, and some magnificent wine he poured into me, that is still there and fermenting ... and caused all my words, vision, and (hopefully) sacred needed mischief. Millions have now come to hear his name through my work. This is profoundly humbling. Still though, I -- we -- should rise and dance.
I have come into this world to see this:
The sword drop from men's hands
even at the height of their arc of anger
because we have finally realized
there is just one flesh to wound and that
is His, The Christ's -- our Beloved's.
From my Hafiz chapter, in my Penguin anthology, Love Poems from God.

Why are people attracted to sacred geometry designs? Tens of thousands of people wear Flower of Life and Merkabah pendants. There's a whole industry in geometrically patterned clothing. - I believe it is that whether we consciously understand it or not these patterns are resonant with the energies of creation. They strengthen our connection back to our source in the infinite mystery. - - - Have you checked out the dozens of designs in Sacred Geometry Web's online store at www.SacredGeometrical.com

This very entertaining 20 min video by Quantum Gravity Research Group reveals the higher dimensional implications of the Flower of Life design. The 2 dimensional pattern of circles in a triangular/hexagonal array has equivalents in all higher dimensions. In each higher dimension there is more 'wriggle room' between the spheres, until in the 8th dimension something very special happens as more 8 dimensional spheres are able to fit between the gaps. In the movie you will hear this referred to as the 'E8', and there are quite a few recent physics theories that are based on its special symmetries. Interestingly it is also relevant to information compression used in communicating with our space probes over such vast distances. - Enjoy the show :-)
