How Earth’s Magnetic Field Influences Consciousness | Nicolas Rouleau
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fHAvfGQkHY

"Dr. Nicolas Rouleau is a neuroscientist, bioengineer, and Assistant Professor of Health Sciences at Wilfrid Laurier University. He wrote the award-winning essay, ‘An Immortal Stream of Consciousness: The scientific evidence for the survival of consciousness after permanent bodily death,’ in which he argues that the transmissive theory of consciousness may actually be more consistent with emerging scientific insights than the dominant assumption that the brain generates consciousness.

In this conversation with Hans Busstra, Rouleau shares the main arguments from his essay, which touch upon his collaboration with Dr. Michael Persinger, the inventor of the ‘God Helmet,’ and his work with Michael Levin on ‘mind blindness’—the idea that science may be searching for mind in too restricted a place by focusing almost exclusively on neurons.

Effects of Acoustic Waves on Microtubules and Cells | Jack Tuszynski
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGfEBo7p3g4

Sound waves, especially ultrasound, can mechanically affect cells by shaking key internal structures such as microtubules and cell membranes, sometimes at their natural resonant frequencies. Jack Tuszynski describes experiments and models showing that carefully chosen ultrasound settings can disrupt the microtubule “skeleton” of dividing cancer cells and arrest them in mitosis without immediately killing them, and he discusses how the mechanical properties of cells, the surrounding fluid and the exact frequency and pattern of the sound (including more exotic Fibonacci based signals) may open paths to new, more targeted cancer therapies, particularly for solid tumors.

Experimental Evidence for Long-Distance Electrodynamic Intermolecular Forces | Marco Pettini
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IHPdRtGwOU

https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=uG58WXoAAAAJ&hl=it

Marco Pettini reviews theoretical and experimental work suggesting that biomolecules can interact over surprisingly long distances through electromagnetic forces when they vibrate coherently at the same frequency. He explains why random Brownian motion and short range electrostatic forces are too slow or weak to account for the speed and selectivity of reactions inside cells, then builds on earlier ideas by Fröhlich to show that energy input (for example from light) can drive proteins into collective vibrational states and generate long range attractive forces that change how they diffuse and form clusters in solution. Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and terahertz spectroscopy on proteins like BSA and phycocyanin, he presents evidence for these coherent vibrational modes, for “phonon condensation,” and for associated changes in diffusion that support the existence of long distance electrodynamic intermolecular interactions, and he closes by outlining open questions about how such effects might operate in real cellular environments and help cognate molecular partners find each other.

Goethe's Problem with Hegel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXMbbLqHOi0

"Goethe was friends with Hegel, but held a negative opinion of Hegel's philosophy. In this video, we discuss the comments Goethe that made about Hegel, and the numerous interactions between the two men: such as when Goethe invited Hegel over for lunch in order to see what his daughter-in-law would say about him. She concluded that he was either brilliant or a madman. Goethe also asserted that Hegelian philosophy and its ponderous, complex language was ruinous for one's writing style when adopted as an influence. This tension culminates in a conversation at a tea party when Hegel, who has a tendency to monopolize the conversation, is finally shut down by Goethe, who coins a wonderful phrase: "Those made ill by dialectics would find healing in the study of nature.”

Primer Fields Remastered (4K)| David LaPoint
"The video introduces the Primer Field model: a proposed electromagnetic field geometry using opposing bowl-shaped magnetic arrays that confine and shape plasma in ways that closely resemble structures observed throughout the universe—from planetary nebulae to radio galaxies to the plasma formations at galactic centers.

What began as laboratory experiments has developed into a broader framework that questions the necessity of dark matter, dark energy, and black holes as explanatory constructs. This is where it started."

ILA 2009 - Brian Breiling - History of Light and Color Therapy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zijpAurIpI

"Lighting The Way Ahead: Ancient and Modern Pioneers in Light and Colour Therapies.

Since the dawn of human history, civilizations from around the planet have had a deep fascination with the healing powers of Sunlight. From ancient sun temples and solar observatories to the earliest traditional medical practices in both the East and West, light played a central role in religion and the healing arts. Likewise, thousands of years later, at the inception of Modern Medicine, Sunlight and artificial light therapies were routinely used in nearly every specialty of practice.

Brian will take us on an entertaining visual journey highlighting the therapeutic breakthroughs made by historic pioneers who used Light and Colour through the eyes or on the body in medicine, optometry, psychology, chiropractic, education and subtle energy healing. Finally we will celebrate our modern day pioneers, key ILA members, who practice and teach at today’s leading edge of Light and Colour therapies. There is a bright future ahead as more light therapists begin to realize the immense transformational potential of light and consciousness on all levels of our being."

Babbitt's Atom: Key To The Secret Teachings of All Ages
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ls3ZxOp134
https://weare1.us/The_Divinity_And_Unity_Of_All_Life.html

"Manly P. Hall, founder of The Philosophic Research Society, has been called the “Dean” of American Esoteric Studies. Centered on the very first page of his magnum opus, The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabalistic, Rosicrucian, and Symbolic Philosophy, is an illustration of Babbitt’s atom. In the caption under this illustration he describes Babbitt as a “genius.” This illustration in the center of page one of Hall’s magnum opus, with Babbitt introduced as a genius, indicates that Hall felt that Babbitt’s atom was the “Rosetta Stone” of Hermetic understanding—and the key to the secret teachings of all ages."

Babbitt was reputed to have an expanded threshold of perception of micro-clairvoyant vision through which he could see energy fields on an atomic level and observe molecular dynamics. Writing in the 1850s he discussed left and right brain differences and theorized an “atomic bomb.”

Babbitt presided over The New York College of Magnetics, which had branches in California and abroad. The college offered courses in healing based on an exact science of “Magnetic, Electrical, Chemical, Solar and Spiritual Forces which underlie everything. His home study courses in “Chromo Therapeutics” (color therapy) and natural healing had a large following. Through his influence color therapy was widely practiced as a healing modality until its demise under attack by antiquackery laws with the rise of the medical industrial complex.

In his The Principles of Light and Color Babbitt unveils “The Harmonic Laws of the Universe.” He explains: "The lines of atomic forces, are doubtless not in circles, this being contrary to the general untrammeled movements of nature, as the pathway of missiles, cataracts and planets is in the sections of a cone . . . atoms are in ellipsoids, or rather in the modifications of this form in the ovid . . . One thing in proof of this is in the fact that atoms combine and polarize better by having a smaller end, while, as we have shown, the law of positive and negative action forces one end to be smaller than the other". ...

Anu or Ahh-No?

In Charles Leadbeater's Occult Chemistry, the claim is made he clairvoyantly identified "quarks" in the late 1800s. It is a fascinating story, worth telling on its own terms, but the direction it points is the problem. Leadbeater looked into matter, past the threshold of the normal senses, into what Steiner called the subsensible realm, the death oriented polarity. Steiner consistently pushed research outward toward the cosmos and the supersensible realms, the actual source of life energies. The theosophical conceptions of the ether is simply rarefied matter, degree after degree of finer substance. Steiner's ethers are something else entirely, non-spatial formative moulds that give context and shape to substance from outside in. Theosophy's model is rehashed atomism dressed in spiritual vocabulary. That Leadbeater's clairvoyance was sourced from black magic and pederasty, as Gregory Tillett documents in The Elder Brother, makes the orientation all the more troubling. Steiner's Agriculture lectures say it plainly, over and over: orient research in the wrong direction and you corrupt the results.

Steiner saw the atom as a monad mirroring the organization of Earth's etheric layers, much as human blood corpuscles reflect cosmic forces. Atoms are bubbles in the ether, hollow spaces filled with Ahrimanic substance, the source of repulsion and attraction at the physical level. Matter is shattered spirit; matter is congealed light; substance is frozen cosmic process, the last step in creation; substance is the hieroglyphic writing of the universe; substance is cosmic process; the atom is coagulated electricity (but not of the current conception); electricity is decaying light; electricity is light being destroyed in matter; and human thought and the new concept of electricity are one in the same.

Leadbeater's whirling atomic structures, like the materialist picture, may be projections of the nervous system's onto nature resulting in a reductionist view, not a genuine perception of reality. Atomism holds only on the physical plane. Steiner's formative ethers work in the opposite direction entirely, shaping substance from the supersensible periphery, not drilling inward into dead matter.

Goethe's Phenomenological Optics: The Point Where Language Ends and Experience Begins in Science

https://www.academia.edu/164551605/Goethes_Phenomenological_Optics_The_Point_Where_Language_Ends_and_Experience_Begins_in_Science

"In the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, Goethe, himself an established scientist in the fields of botany, mineralogy, osteology and optics, rejected the mathematical approach to science and sought instead a theory of colors founded in the Aristotelian tradition of physics. Why then, do we hear so little today of phenomenological science? Does it not "work"? No, indeed it does work, and it also functions in practice as seen in Pennsylvania's air pollution regulations. Ironically, it is traditional quantitatively-abstracted science which can be taken on board without the engagement of experimentation. Indeed that is one of the beauties of abstraction-- one can simply consume the reduced product without having undergone the process of experimenting. By comparison, Newton's theorizing, without repeated experimentation, has less to do with what is "really going on out there" than Goethe's experimental engagements. Thus the appeal of quantitative optics lies elsewhere; it lies in the ways in which it can be employed precisely without engagement.

But more importantly, Goethe's phenomenological science provides a possible case by which one can escape the trap of dichotomous thinking which grows out of Cartesian science, and perhaps provides a case-point where upon one may place
minimal realism between absolute realism and so-called radical rhetoric. As epistemological certainty continues to erode, and as the guarantor of certainty, mathematics, no longer carries the day, we are reminded that it has been at just such junctures in history that the discipline of rhetoric has been called upon to facilitate "getting on with public business," such as environmental regulation, an enclave traditionally held in the empire of epistemological science."

Archetype, Urphänomen and Polarity: Aesthetic considerations on nature, art and life between Goethe’s morphology and Taoism

https://mimesisjournals.com/ojs/index.php/aesthetica-preprint/article/view/1672/1328

"In his scientific works, Goethe elaborates a morphology of nature based on a dynamic, organic and anti-essentialist conception of life and its forms. To clarify what Goethe means by “morphology” in both natural and artistic spheres, I mean to show the specificity of such fundamental notions as “archetype”, “original phenomenon”, “form” and “formation”. I will then explain how Goethe’s morphology is closely linked to the notion of “polarity”, referring in particular to Faust. In the second part of the paper, I will develop a cross-cultural comparison between Goethe’s morphology and Taoist thought. Then I will highlight some similarities and differences between the ‘classical’ Chinese landscape painting of Shitao and the and the Goethe-influenced painting of Carl Gustav Carus."

Platonism in the Phenomenology: Genealogical Reflections on Goethe and Heidegger’s Visions of Dialectic and Mathesis

"This essay examines the metaphysical foundations of Goethe's phenomenology of nature through its relationship with Platonism and modern mathematical science. While Heidegger's critique of mathematical science bears insight into our historical condition, his misreading of Platonism leads to fundamental misunderstandings of both Goethean and mathematical approaches to the study of nature. I argue that Goethe's work represents not a rejection but a revival of classical philosophy in response to the univocal-nominalist-voluntarist turn of secular modernity. Through Nicholas of Cusa's Christian Platonism, I show how a consummate integration of theological thinking into natural philosophy yields a methodology remarkably similar to Goethe's, while offering a systematic reconciliation of quantity and quality that influenced yet was never fully realized in modern science. Goethe's phenomenology, I contend, requires engagement with its transcendent dimension, as the modern alienation of science cannot be resolved through Heideggerian phenomenology alone. Rather than interpreting Goethe primarily through Husserl or Heidegger, I propose reading him through his own distinction between transcendent and immanent, with Cusa's framework providing both historical precedent and systematic foundation. This theological turn in Goethean science reveals a path toward reconciling phenomenology with mathematics while transcending the limitations of both Heideggerian critique and secular modernity. The draft presented here still requires much work and there are some very notable blind spots. I provide virtually no treatment of Goethe's direct reception of ancient Platonism, whether Plotinus, Iamblichus, or Renaissance Platonists such as Giordano Bruno. I also avoid discussion of Goethe's relationship to Spinoza, a figure of great importance for understanding his vision of the transcendent-immanent relation. Moreover, I also do not treat Goethe's reception of the Hermetic tradition which is of great importance in understanding the history of science. There is, therefore, much to be amended but, at the very least, the current form presents what I take to be a coherent argument and a kind of double-advocacy for both Goethean science in general and a Cusanist interpretation, appropriation, or elaboration of Goethean science."

Intro to Matter and Memory: Henri Bergson's Theory of the External Image| Pure Memory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLmvc6p5CB4

Henri Bergson proposes in Matter and Memory that matter be conceived as an aggregate of images, exactly the point of view of a mind unaware of philosophical and scientific theories of matter and perception.

Against the materialist view, which treats the perceptual image as a kind of hallucination constructed from movements of the cerebral substance and mapped back onto the world, and against idealism, which cannot account for the autonomous, law-abiding structure that is seemingly indifferent to subjective experience, Bergson proposes that the image of the object exists right where it appears, not generated by the brain, but external to the body and belonging to the world itself. The brain is strictly a center for the redirection of movement, an organ of possible reaction. Living bodies are zones of indeterminacy: unlike inert matter, they receive movements and return them in ways that cannot be fully predicted. What we call subjective perception is, in fact, virtual action, the movements that the nervous system expands into possible reactions, reflected as images organized around the body as a center of action.

Affect, or sensation, arises when those movements overload the threshold of indeterminate response and become real action, as when a sound loud enough can no longer be expanded into possible reactions and becomes pain felt in the ears. This model explains why perception appears to be constructed by the brain without conceding that the brain constructs it: damage to the visual cortex affects perception not because the image is created there, but because the movements concerned can no longer be expanded into voluntary action. Bergson calls this distilled account pure perception, a simplification that sets the stage for chapter two's reintegration of memory, through which perception as it actually is, always infused with duration and the contraction of the past into the present, can finally be addressed.

Bergson's Holographic Theory - 1 - The image of the external world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtuxTXEhj3A

Stephen Robbins argues the real hard problem is not simply the origin of qualia but the origin of the image of the external world as a whole, since forms fully populate that image and forms are qualia themselves. The standard model, in which receptors transduce light and sound into a neural code, runs straight into what Robbins calls the coding problem. That code looks nothing like the world it supposedly represents. No proposed solution, whether higher order thoughts, synchronous oscillations, enactivism, or integrating magnetic fields, explains how it unfolds as the image of the coffee cup sitting on the table. Bergson's answer, anticipated fifty years before Gabor's discovery of holography, is that the photograph of the external world is already taken, already developed in the very heart of things and at all points in space. The universe is a vast interference pattern in which each object transmits the whole of what it receives. The brain is not an encoder but a modulated reconstructive wave passing through that external field, specifying a subset of its information relative to the body's action capabilities. The coffee cup is right where it appears, not inside the brain. Perception is virtual action, not a projection from within.

Advanced Psychotronics - Mind Control, DEW + Neural Interfaces
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxcmocAFBDg

Psychotronics operates across three generational systems spanning decades of classified and commercial development. Generation 1 devices, traced to Czech researcher Robert Pavlita's generators and documented in a 1975 Defense Intelligence Agency report, leverage electromagnetic and acoustic energy to disrupt fundamental brain rhythms, heart control, and biological clock mechanisms, while also demonstrating potential for healing and relaxation. Generation 2 systems add directionality: the Moscow signal used against U.S. embassy staff is one documented case of microwave and acoustic energy focused on distant targets. Patents from the 1960s onward describe electrical stimulation of auditory nerves via modulated electromagnetic waves, subliminal acoustic signal masking systems, and brainwave entrainment through modulation of a building's AC power line. NASA-funded research confirms that time-varying electromagnetic fields at 0.05 to 0.5 gauss, values within the range of the Earth's own magnetic field, can alter gene expression, regulate ionic concentration, and modify cellular differentiation. Synthetic aperture radar combined with time reversal signal processing allows satellite-based directed energy systems to build three-dimensional maps of structures and focus microwave energy on arbitrarily small volumes within them. That capability is consistent with reported incidents of anomalous thermal damage and the ongoing global phenomenon of Havana syndrome.

Transhumanism: Spiritual Insanity (Bergson 109) | Stephen E. Robbins, PhD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qI2N-wzGx8

The human brain is not an inferior neuronet waiting for hardware upgrades. It is a tunable biochemical system, specifiable to different scales of time within the holographic field, to different dimensions of reality, and to higher states of consciousness that AI defined on Turing machine computation cannot possibly achieve but that silicon chips and artificial neurons can disrupt or disable. LSD, acting on the 5HT2A receptor via an electronic induction effect, raises the oscillating frequency of the entire affected neural mass so that time slows: the fly's wings drop to heron-like frequency, the swirling coffee decelerates, conversation spreads out in time. Each altered state points to the same conclusion from a different angle. DMT tunes the brain to what appears to be an entirely different channel, a limited but consistent set of shared realities reported across subjects with the convergent agreement of witnesses observing the same coffee cup. Zen satori, produced through years of concentrated koan work, short-circuits the neurodynamics underlying the sense of a self separate from the world, dissolving the subject-object boundary that Bergson locates not in space but in the specification of a scale of time from the holographic field. Kundalini, documented by Gopi Krishna as a biologically precise living fire working organ by organ through nerve fiber and tissue, demonstrates an intelligence operating within the biophysical substrate. It permanently transforms consciousness. Against this vast biochemical complexity, the conception of mind as computer is trivial. To graft chips into the brain before understanding what this architecture actually is and what it makes possible is, in Robbins' terms, absolute irresponsible spiritual insanity.

The Universal Current Devices | L.G.V. Rota
https://rexresearch.com/rota2/rota.html

Luigi Gino Valerio Rota (1886–1951) was an Italian-born physicist whose four decades of largely self-funded research placed him at the outer edge of what mainstream physics was willing to consider.

Working from Lord Kelvin's telluric current theory and early ground radio experiments, Rota found that signals transmitted through soil behaved differently depending on which metals formed the buried probes. He concluded that ordinary electricity is only a degraded, five-component subset of deeper cosmic currents, with two combining into electrostatic force and three into magnetism, while standard instruments remain entirely blind to these internal structures. He called the underlying energy the "Universal Current." He argued it flows a few meters below the earth's surface, generates a corresponding atmospheric field, and sits at the root of all physical phenomena including gravitation and life itself.

He identified 361 distinct current types, each with a fixed direction, periodic cycle, and affinity for specific metals. To capture them, he built laminated "blocks" of iron, tin, lead, zinc, cadmium, and nickel, buried them at depth, and waited roughly four years for a process he called "synchronization," a slow awakening of the metals into coherent tonal energy pulses audible through headphones. That slow awakening carried real consequence: once synchronized, instruments connected to the blocks read several amperes where unsynchronized ones had shown only milliamps. From this, Rota pursued three distinct practical results. First, a publicly demonstrated seventeen-foot, 200-pound levitation device called the "Stabilisiteur," which he claimed rendered itself weightless by opposing the earth's magnetic and electric field. Second, patented antenna arrays for secure communication and submarine detection via telluric magnetic vortices. Third, portable block-charged krypton-neon lamps whose cold white glow he attributed to universal current excitation rather than conventional ionization. After his death in 1951 his laboratory was destroyed and his archives scattered, though later investigators recovered block fragments, lab notes, and a key amplifier called the "Transducteur," reproducing partial detection results that neither they nor mainstream science have fully accounted for since.

The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology | Jose Arguelles

Digest this extended passage from José Argüelles through the lens of what we've been exploring: Physical Radiesthesia, BioGeometry, Radionics, Shape Power, Plasma Cosmology and even Steiner’s formative forces. His treatment of the 260-symbol Harmonic Module as a resonant field, a vibratory tapestry woven from archetypal number and form, maps surprisingly well with the concept of shape being an etheric interface as well as of the dual etheric currents that run through all of those disciplines. I drifted away from Argüelles' broader cosmology for a while, some of it stopped resonating, but the core principles around symbol, form, and resonant structure keep showing back up in the work we discuss here, and I think this passage is worth a close read.

What hits home with me is his implicit treatment of these archetypal pulses as emissions from the galactic center, plasma-like informational carriers that interact with biological light structures, geology, and even collective human behavior. This also resonates deeply with the concept of formative forces streaming in from the cosmic periphery, providing context for morphology, psychology, and form itself. And it connects strongly with Buddy James' work on the Dougherty Set geometry of Birkeland currents and their possible role in driving morphology. The idea that cosmic-scale electromagnetic filaments could imprint structural patterns into living systems is a thread that connects Argüelles' "radio-pulses" to some emerging concepts from plasma cosmology.

"... Number, representing sensory as well as symbolic mental qualities, is vital, possesses multiple overtones of depth and meaning, and is capable of expressing the whole range of universal possibilities ... a very limited range of numbers can
accomplish all of these ends.

This woven matrix is a texture of 260 components or symbols that inform our senses and mind with the informational keys necessary to relate to and work with the larger world around us. While these 260 symbols describe the larger world as a cyclical composite of symbols, they also define our internal capacity to perceive this world as being of the same nature as the world we perceive.

But what then are the threads woven by this Loom of Maya? The vertical threads are represented by the thirteen numbers, the horizontal threads by the twenty symbols. But what do these represent? As I have already suggested, the thirteen "numbers" represent primary patterns of radiant energy, which we could call radio-pulses. The twenty symbols represent the cycle of frequency-range possibilities for transformation or evolution that each of these radio-pulses may undergo. The combination of any one of the thirteen numbers and twenty directional positions creates a symbol or radiant pulsation pattern that contains a particular kind of information. The 260 symbolic pulses woven by the Loom of Maya create the entire resonant field which we experience as reality.

What is a symbol? A symbol is a resonant structure, the reverberation of a particular quality of radiant energy that takes form in our senses. Obviously, our sense faculties possess a form-receiving capacity; that is, the sense organs function as reverberatory receivers. Like different kinds of radar stations, the senses continuously receive the in-rush of resonant wave-forms that comprise our universe. It is the purpose of mind to "make sense" of the symbols or resonant structures informed by our sense faculties. Our various conditionings further affect the "interpretations" of the mind. Plato and Jung called the resonant structures "archetypes," form-constants that exist in and define a field of consciousness that transcends both time and the individual.

According to the Mayan Factor, these form-constants are the stuff woven on the Loom of Maya, while the Loom of Maya itself is the magically self-existing instrument created from the stuff it weaves. Self-created and self-creating, the Loom of Maya weaves the symbols into the whole tapestry which we experience through our mind and senses as our mind and senses. Not just as metaphor, but in truth, the world is a weave of symbols, and it is through symbols that we weave our understanding of the world.

When we understand that symbols are actually resonant structures, vibratory formfields, and that we ourselves are resonant to our very core, then we can see that symbols are not something aery-faery but are completely vital to our functioning as whole beings.

Asleep and unconscious to the potency of symbols, our dreams become nightmares, and we live hostage to a world which is in reality the eclipse of symbolic knowing. As we know, we do not live by bread alone. Though we may feel that spirituality is a vague concept and transcendence a remote aspiration, it is really our own belief in the separation of science, spirituality, and art that keep us from a full comprehension of symbols and symbolic knowing.

As resonant structures, symbols literally create, work with, and inform our light body. The light body is the electro-resonant galactic code bank that informs the genetic code bank. It is the stuff of imagination, insight, all true understanding—and more! While the foundation of our light body corresponds to the vibratory infrastructure of the DNA, it can only be activated through a knowing use of symbols. Nor should this symbol-thriving light body be seen as separate from what we call our physical body. Rather, the resonant light body underlies and interpenetrates all of our functions. It is not poetry alone that commands us to declare that just as a flower cannot live without light and water, we cannot live without symbols.

If the thirteen numbers are the light that arouses the mind and body, then the twenty directional positions are the water that nourishes this very same mind and body. In the interplay of thirteen numbers and twenty symbols lies the in-dwelling galactic code-bank that informs the resonant structures comprising the symbol-woven tapestry of our reality.

The Loom is the analogue or hologram of the operating principle of the galaxy itself as a total self-contained system. Keeping in mind that the numbers represent symbolic qualities which describe the potential of our reality, then we see that everything is interactive, interdependent, that all cycles feed on themselves, that nothing can really be described without describing everything, that the whole indeed is contained in the part. The Loom of Maya and the Harmonic Module woven by it comprise a genuine resonant keyboard for our use in toning or dialing up galactic frequencies whose wave formations lie within our very being.

A brief review of the qualities represented by the numbers reveals a progression describing the formal nature underlying the appearance of things. If 1 represents the inherent unifying principle in all manifestations, 13 represents the dynamic of movement present in everything and by which everything is ever-changing and at the same time vivified by the universal force of Hunab Ku. The numbers 1 through 9 represent the nonmaterial principles of coherence immanent in and governing all phenomenal experience.While 10 represents the principle allowing manifestation to occur, based on the coherence of the preceding nine numbers, 11 represents the dynamic of dissonance accounting for randomness and non-stability. 12, on the other hand, represents the principle of complex stability which accounts for the conservative organizational force in nature.

Such, in brief, are the meanings of the numbers in their complementary relation to each other. Obviously, there are many more relations that can be explored intuitively through playing with the radially reciprocal relations the numbers all have to each other. Suffice it for the moment to say that the descriptions give some idea of the progression of the structural cycle underlying the operation of the galaxy—or any of its constituent members—as a self-sustaining, self-organizing whole. The numbers take on a richer meaning when combined with the twenty positional symbols which describe the horizontal lattice of the Loom of Maya.

If the thirteen numbers are pulsation-rays, the twenty Signs are the frequency range possibilities that allow for the primary harmonic structures to come into existence. While in Earth Ascending I compared the twenty symbols to the twenty amino acids which comprise the DNA, the nineteen intervals between the twenty symbols could also be compared to the nineteen twists that the complementary DNA strands take in order to complete a codon, one of the 64 six-part structures that constitute the genetic code. On our planet, the Maya translated these twenty positional places into the twenty symbols known as the twenty Sacred Signs." - Jose Arguelles, Mayan Factor
