The Sacred Sphere

ExpLoring sacred concepts and cosmic consciousness through universal symbolism

In 2003 I discovered a previously unknown Native American medicine wheel at an elevation of over 10,000 feet in the mountains of Wyoming. Although intrigued by the discovery, I didn't anticipate the revelatory impact the encounter would have on my life. Nonetheless, within days I found myself beginning a fascinating journey into the realm of Ancient and Indigenous sacred symbolism, leading to what I believe is the answer to the question, "What is the meaning of life?" in four dimensional spacetime.

I was to discover the vital, sacred, and previously unrecognized symbolism expressed by the medicine wheel, even though the symbol is often encountered in archaeological and anthropological investigations; historic ethnographic records; world mythologies; ancient, indigenous and modern architecture; the greatest of megalithic monuments and the most personal of artifacts. It can bee seen everywhere in the traditons of all Ancient and Indigenous cultures. It pervades the universe. And yet, until now, it was unknown to the general public, has not been discussed or published, and was unrecognized until now.

Why?

More importantly, what can each of us do to learn more and help spread the word about this symbol - this structure - that is about to result in the intersection of Science and the Sacred?

I'm honored to bring you the history the Sacred Sphere, a spherical geometry buried in mythology, pictographic symbols and meanings, hidden from the unknowing, yet found everywhere if we simply pay attention, and listen for it. Personal experience, with patience, an open heart, and clear mind, can provide the ability to recognize it.

After 9 years rigorously and objectively exploring sacred symbolism, researching documents from around the world, conducting interviews, performing numerous field investigations, and presenting papers at professional and academic meetings and conferences, I conclude that  the Sacred Sphere is the most important symbol humans have ever known, and perhaps ever will know. Its numerous facets have been applied by shamans, priests and visionaries throughout history, people who opened themselves to communication with the cosmic consciousness that fills the universe. However, it is so much more.

The Sacred Sphere is about relationships - sacred relationships - between you and me, us and Earth, the Cosmos, the Creator and all of Creation - vital relationships understood by Ancient and Indigenous cultures. Those relationships create opportunites to experience and understand the meaning of life from both physical and metaphysical perspectives. Those relationships are now impacting the path humanity is traveling.

Recent investigations by physicists studying the two and three dimensional geometries expressed by 95% of energy in empty space - throughout the universe - are identical to the geometry of the Sacred Sphere. And as described in the book, based on current astrophysical data and numerical modeling, it is quite possible that the same geometry represents the 4 dimensional shape of the universe itself.

At the same time, the journey is very personal.

It is difficult - very difficult - for me as an engineer and environmental geologist to admit to an experience that I can only describe as a one way communication - a confirmation really - one morning in May 2007, while camped on a glacier on Mount Baker in Washington state. It was a vision.

It was not a dream. I ingested nothing that would have 'raised my level of consciousness' - I never have. My mind was clear. I felt vulnerable yet comforted. Then, without warning, my consciousness lifted and was directed toward . . . a place. Somewhere in time and space. It seemed so far, far away, and required some time to arrive there. Communication upon my arrival was intimate, buried deeply into my consciousness, became one with my heart. I was introduced to the consciousness of others, and I was told why I was brought there, what I was to do upon returning home - on that glacier where my body awaited return of my conscious self . . . "Pay attention. Listen". This I was told twice before my return.

Now, years later, I understand. And I realize that my journey is never ending. The story of the Sacred Sphere begins more than 1.5 million years ago and it, too, is eternal.

In The Sacred Sphere, you will discover:

• the oldest symbol drawn by humans is the circle. (Independent confirmation is here)

• the purpose of many Ancient and Indigenous stone and wooden structures built with a circular design

• a sacred prehistoric symbol over 500 miles in diameter, the largest sacred symbol ever constructed on Earth, built by the Lakota

• evidence for world-wide use of 7 as the number of physical and metaphysical items common to world mythology, ritual, architecture and other Ancient and Indigenous traditions, with many cultures recognizing that we live in a time when the number will increase to 9, a number esoterically yet universally understood to represent completion

• the mythic Ark constructed for the Great Flood, prior to  the biblical story of Noah and his ark,was designed as a sphere

• spatial symbolism expressed in numerous well-known two dimensional artworks is intended to represent cubic geometrical symmentry and a specific spherical form

• this cubic and spherical geometry is expressed by the nine worlds and 'nine skerry maidens' described in Norse mythology

• the Temple of Solomon, with its cubic design based on Ancient Egyptian temple architecture, likely included domed rooves.

• interior and exterior geometrical and architectural evidence demonstrates that the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza symbolizes the rebirth of all humankind - in the past, present and future

• the same cubic and spherical geometries expressed in Mayan and Aztec artworks and architectures are identical to those of many other Ancient and Indigenous cultures from across the world, throughout time

• the text of Ezekeil's biblical vision of God's chariot (Merkaveh) describes the mechanics of the  25,800 year cycle of precession

• the Tree of Life diagram of mystical Kaballah is a sacred two dimensional representation of a three dimensional spherical structure

• the Magick Circle is geometrically equivalent to sacred circular symbols found in almost all historic and modern religions and lifeways

• symbolism depicted in temples and degrees of Freemasonry expresses the same geometry as that of religions and lifeways practiced around the world

• all 2d sacred circular symbols are facets of a specific and unique 3d spherical geometry, unrecognized until now

• this spherical geometry, and its equivalent polygonal form, are the fundamental geometrical configurations that describe each of the five Platonic solids, Vesica Piscis, Flower of Life, Tree of Life, and many other structures of sacred geometry

• the Megalithic Yard, a fundamental unit of length associated with Ancient megalithic monuments in Europe, Africa and Asia, was also applied by prehistoric cultures in North Amercia

• and much, much more - all described in detail, with sources fully referenced, 170 illustrations, 21 color plates, and a bibliography to encourage further study.

The Sacred Sphere is a story of sacred geometry, fundamental aspects of energy and matter, spacetime, and the eternal human quest to know and appreciate our relationship with everything we experience in the universe. Indeed, it represents what is the meaning of life.

It is a story understood by shamans, priests and priestesses for many thousands of years. It is universal, and timeless.

Most importantly, it is a story about you and me, and every person who has ever looked up to the sky and wondered, "Who am I, and why am I here . . . now."

In a vision experienced while on this journey, I was told, "Pay attention . . . Listen." And now, with The Sacred Sphere, I will tell you what I've heard . . . .

Please Note:  The first step along this journey would never have been made if it was not for the Lakota people and a medicine wheel they constructed all those years ago, and continue to maintain today. I am donating 10% of net sales of 'The Sacred Sphere' toward the health, education and welfare of the beautiful Lakota children living on Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota. They need us. Please help. Thank you.
