and other practices in many cultures plays a vital role also in our relationship
with our surroundings.

NOTES ON OUR PLASMA UNIVERSE. 2007

THE PHYSICS OF QI , 2006
A brief summary of the Physics of Qi DVD. Acknowledgement that qi energy has a physics, and lies outside of the boundaries we've asserted that our universe has, profoundly alters our sciences and our culture.
Our places can be profoundly empowered, and affect our lives in totally different ways, when we understand the separate (yet of course, connected!) primal consciousness that links every fiber of all things through the faster-than-light media of qi energy.
SACRED ART, SACRED SPACE, 2006

THE CAVE TEMPLES OF INDIA, 2004
Embodied in these rock-cut temples and sculptures more than 1500 years old is a knowledge of how our universe operates that dwarfs our present comprehension and opens the door for our culture's next stage of growth. The sculptures in these temples employ an unlikely palette of tools empowered geometry, intention, passion, stillness, and coherence to access and work in the realms of life-force energy (chi or prana). These elements enable the sculptures to act as sophisticated tools for chakra opening, healing, and direct connection with the sacred and other consciousness.
