The Enneagram is a nine-pointed star polygon, also known as a nonagram, that is often associated with certain esoteric and mystical qualities. First introduced to the West by George Gurdjieff, a Greek-Armenian mystic and spiritual teacher, it was the symbol of universal harmony used in his Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man and what later became known as The Fourth Way school.

The established presence of Romans and probably Phoenicians in the Canary Islands off the coast of West Africa has led some researchers to suggest the islands may have been used as a stepping-off point for pre-Columbian journeys to the Americas... Read More...

It's Maundy Thursday once again and time to celebrate the Eucharist of The Last Supper where Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying, "This is my body," and wine, saying, "This is my blood." But, what is this really all about? Read More...

Most think of Easter as the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As this post explains, it is actually a very ancient fertility rite associated with the Venus Transit. Read More...

Mona Lisa was Leonardo da Vinci's symbol for the sacred feminine, which is defined in ancient mythology as a duality between Venus and the Moon. The two Biblical Marys were an instance of this feminine duality, which is described in this post. Read More...

The out-of-India theory suggests the cradle of civilization is not ancient Sumer in Mesopotamia, but instead located in India. These underwater ruins at Yonaguni Jima lend support to the theory. Read More...

Modern day religions are descended from a long lineage of personifications of celestial objects, namely the Sun, Moon and Venus. In particular, the orbit of Venus creates a geometric pattern recognized in ancient times as proof of a divine ordering of the cosmos. This post summarizes the evidence for harmonic physics as the founding principle behind religion. Read More...

There is a single thread to be found in all religions based on the annual death/ rebirth cycle of the Sun during the Winter Solstice. This has been personified from culture to culture using solar deities, each described as the Son (or Sun) of God. This post lists out the striking similarities. Read More...

Those who have followed my writings may have stumbled on an article entitled The Harmonic Messiah.  In it I found calendar evidence that Jesus was probably prophesied as a new serpent deity due to replace Bacchus / Dionysus... Read More...

I think we have a problem in defining consciousness. Does consciousness require language or can it exist without internal dialogue? Is consciousness the same as self-awareness. Is it on/off or a gradient? Read More...

I’ve written a lot about Rosslyn chapel and have found it to contain a wealth of ancient knowledge about acoustics. This post describes my latest findings on how its design maximizes resonance and sound propagation in the horizontal directions while suppressing vertical standing waves and echoes. I can only wonder how much they really knew. Read More...

Received an official coat-of-arms document for Christmas explaining the history of my namesake "Merrick". But, it didn't say anything about Merukh-t or Merrut being related to an ancient name for Egypt or the Vedic legend of Mount Meru... Read More...

While it is now known that the designers of Rosslyn chapel, William Sinclair and Sir Gilbert Hay, were Ebionites, I have remained confused about why Rosslyn was dedicated to St. Matthew. So I did some digging and found some very enlightening connections to India and the Vedas. Read More...

I think someone has been reading my website (or my mind). The crop circle on July 6th at Danebury Hill near Stockbridge, Hampshire looks like one of the poster graphics from the Musica Universalis area of my website. Read More...

Here is proof that music tuned to A-432 using my 81-AET temperament is uniquely synchronous with both Rosslyn chapel and the Schumann ELF frequencies (Earth resonance). Indeed, Rosslyn chapel appears to be a 9X amplifier for Schumann resonance. Read More...

Ancient temples were probably intended as a reproduction of the human cranial chamber. The StarKey geometry seems to support this and other connections to religious tradition. Read More...

To really grasp the magnificent musical symbolism of Rosslyn chapel, please take some time to read and absorb the following. Beginning with the harmonic theory set forth in my first book Interference, I am now 100% convinced that Rosslyn chapel was designed as a symbol for the Music of the Spheres and temple to celebrate the Venus Transit.

My trip to Rosslyn chapel in April 2010 triggered a new flow of discovery and artistic inspiration. For background to this post, take a quick look at this and this, then read this post. Read More...

I’ve been trying to figure out Solomon's most famous grimoire for a long time. As it turns out, I had solved it more than 2 years ago when I used a series of nested pentagrams to approximate the geometry of an egg. Read More...

I recently made a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland with my family to meet some friends and visit the mysterious 15th century Rosslyn chapel. In the process, I discovered something very interesting.

One of the things I came to understand during the writing of Interference was the association between the Fibonacci series ( 1,1,2,3,5,8, 13, etc., spiraling toward the golden ratio) and the mythology surrounding dragon-serpents. This post describes how this was symbolized in ancient Hindu mythology and connected with the planet Venus. Read More...

Our schools and churches do not tell us everything. They don’t tell us even the simplest things; things like the Earth-Moon system matches the geometry of a hen’s egg and that both are a containment property of the golden mean, Φ = (√5 + 1) / 2. Read More...

I have just had a very interesting insight linking the Moon and Venus related to August 13th. It may represent an additional important date relative to Rosslyn (its Venus symbolisms) and the Mayan calendar year of 2012. Read More...

There is really something quite profound about how digital media technology is changing human society. We can never be sure that what we see in a magazine, on TV or at the movies is real or synthesized. Now more than ever, people have to choose which illusion they want to believe in. Seeing is no longer believing.

After finishing my last article Eleven that described my experience (and apparent widespread phenomenon) of 'seeing elevens', I watched this excellent video about this same subject. Avia Venefica's comments about the symbolic meaning of the double ones of eleven and its duality are right on target, which prompted me to further connect this phenomena with the physics and mythology of harmonic resonance.

How many times have we heard the story of brave knights riding off to slay the fire-breathing dragon? How many mythological gods have had to battle the hydra, slay the python or behead the serpent-headed gorgon? And how many movies have depicted the same dragon slaying theme with slithering monsters or fanged aliens from another planet? Even in the Bible...

Ok, here's something for all you 2012 fans out there. We all know that the Mayan calendar ends then and that McKenna's timewave theory derived from the IChing ends too. And we know there is a Venus crossing on June 6, 2012 and that a solar maximum is forecast as well, but did you know that 2012 as a number has certain harmonic qualities? Read More...

There is a very important octave relationship between the Moon and Venus that was well understood in antiquity and anthropomorphized as complentary goddesses in mythology. Read More...

Ever wonder why people put a 5-pointed star on top of their Christmas tree or why we celebrate three wise men from the east who followed the Star of Bethlehem? The answer lies in the importance of the planet Venus to pre-Christian theosophies in proving the existence of a cosmic harmony and intelligence in Nature. Read More...

In my travels this Summer to Greece and Italy, I became more aware of how spirals were associated with the Underworld in ancient mythology and symbolism. In this post, I explore the correspondence of female deities of the Underworld and the ancient swas-tika symbol to an apparent knowledge of the physics of harmonic damping.

There has been a long history of disagreement concerning the location of god. Some would claim god is a distinct personality that lives in a separate place called 'heaven' while others would claim god is in nature and inside ourselves. The way I see it, this is a crucial point that determines a person's entire world view and any sense of spirituality.

While visiting Barcelona a week ago I visited Gaudi's famed basilica. This building was absolutely stunning and was packed with symbolisms, such as a Christmas tree stuck onto the top of the front steeple and fruit on the top of other spires. I also found an interesting magic square on the side that got me to thinking... Read More...

In the mid-1990s, I was involved in developing the Quest for the Holy Grail CD-ROM game with Monty Python. If you lived in Germany, you would not have known it under this name since the concept of the Holy Grail was not as well known. Instead, you will remember it as "Kokos Nuss" or "Coconuts," named after the low-budget clip-clop gag in the movie. The most challenging and memorable puzzle in the game involved the spanking of the Naughty Nuns of Castle Anthrax by Sir Galahad The Chaste. Needless to say, this was a fun game to play.

But while it was only a silly satire, it did get me thinking seriously about what the Holy Grail once signified and why it was so important in medieval Europe. This post describes my most recent theory about all that... Read More...

There are many harmonic properties of the solar system, but perhaps the most amazing is this:

Sun radius / Mercury semi-major axis = 12 / 1000
695,000km / 57.91666Mkm = 12 / 1000

That is, the ratio of the Sun's sphere to Mercury's sphere measured from the center of the solar system is 12:1000.

In general, the Gaussian Interference function introduced in the book (which also balances at a resonance value of 12) can also be found to describe the cycle of sun spots. We are currently in a solar minimum with the fewest sunspots since at least 1913. Many of the intersection points of the sunspot cycle happen to correspond to recent events and may offer a broad predictor of future novelty events. This analysis uses the Reflective Interference function to compare the solar cycle to our social cycle, suggesting a causal link between the two. Read More...

The golden ratio, golden rule, golden apples, golden pillars, golden fleece - everything was once modeled after nature and its perfect harmony.  Take a look at the attached analysis of Solomon's Temple by Issac Newton. It's all golden too. Newton believed the temple was a template for a chronology that didn't come to fruition in Western history. I think he was right.

I was recently asked if I felt the photographed anomalies on Mars, such as the humanoid sculpture, clear tubing and apparent trees near the ice caps, were empirical evidence. The only way for me to answer this was to create a ranked list of criteria by which I construct my own personal belief system and world view. Here is my reply... Read More...

I have always wanted to take the time to understand how a highly variegated leaf, such as those on the post oak tree native to north Texas, grows the way it does. This analysis helps explain how this occurs as a balance between resonance and damping, which by inference helps explain how plants and all life grows. Read More...

During the first year of working on the book, I had a lengthy email correspondence with an ER doctor. This is one of the many exchanges. Read More...

Towards the end of the book I finally realized how gnostic ("sacred") geometry was at the root of all religious symbolisms. Unfortunately, I did not have room in the book to add it, so thought I would do that here. Read More...

I'll begin by stating that I have never believed in astrology. The reason is I could never rationalize why planets or stars would have any measurable effect on us from such distances. This said, I have recently begun to understand this ancient craft from a different perspective.
