Vitruvian man (Da Vinci) overlayed with the flower of life, followed by the merkaba, and the green waveform which would be the 6th octave of the root (if you imagined one big swoop starting at his feet and ending at the top of the green waveform). Many sacred western classics put geometric center in the navel (Eastern imagery often lands in the heart).
In the imagery of Eastern mystical traditions the geometric center is most often found in the heart. In this case I used the red waveform to represent the lowest octave (64 hz), the purple is 128 hz, and the green is 256.

Do you ...432(hz)? The Bhajans have been tuning our instruments and writing our music in 432hz for quite some time. While we have not released any of this music, our entire live set is composed in this tuning. There are correlations to 432 throughout nature and we uncover new ones every day. They appear in the relationship between objects that are small and large and harmonic relationships based on 432 are everywhere. Since music is about harmonic relationships between frequencies (vibrations), we choose to tune our instruments and write music that harmonizes with frequencies found in nature. Here is today's finding pertaining to the harmonic of 432 in nature - this time in nautical miles. Each nautical mile originally referred to one minute of arc along a meridian around the Earth. Think of a meridian around the Earth as being made up of 360 degrees, and each of those degrees consists of 60 minutes of arc. Each of these minutes of arc is then 1/21,600th of the distance around the earth. Thus, a nautical mile is 6,076 feet. Minutes of arc = 1/21,600th of the distance around the earth. For harmonic relationships we need to make the numbers a little smaller, so we drop the zeros to find a lower harmonic at 1/216th. 216 is 432 divided by 2, and as such tuning an instrument to 432hz is tuning it to harmonize with a unit of measurement around a sphere - in this case, our planet. Do you 432?
Sensuality means being completely at home in one’s body, trusting and living through the senses. Tasting-savoring the flavors that life offers through touching, exploring, the body, the tongue, feelings… Seeing-recognizing the beauty in all that is beautiful-animals, flowers, trees, people, symmetry and asymmetry. Inhaling the fragrances of all and enjoying each. Listening to the voices of all living things and reveling in the uniqueness of each. Sensuality may be enthusiastic, even athletic, but it is always in unison with another. There is no sensuality if each does not experience the overwhelming passion of total surrender, a voluntary experience of worship and the relinquishment of the center of one’s own ego; the placing of the fate of the self completely in the hands of another. It is a selfless experience of unity; two become one and then two. Surrender is rebirth. A mortal experience of reincarnation, it is the “little death” of the self in total trust that strengthens all aspects of life. It is an affirmation of life. In the surrender is the return to the self, yet it is also a return to the more perfect awareness of the sanctity, the beauty, the whole being of another. The desire to adore the other remains, sensuality lingers to fill up the heart, embracing each other even in dreams. The absolute revelation of each others scent, taste, touch, sound and sight is the perfected worship of the Divine life that lies within each of us. Sensual awareness does not confine itself to one person, or to people in general. One may share the totality of surrender only with other people, yet the sensual awareness of all is also worship. We can experience the softness of a cat’s fur, the rough aliveness of a tree, the taste of the salty ocean, the panorama of a sunrise, all with the sensual reverence inherent in Divine awareness. A Sensual individual is aware of all people, irrespective of gender, as being the Divine Other. It is not a sacrilege to desire the sharing of love with more than one partner, many partners, or with more than one gender. A truly sensual person understands her/his own nature first and respects the choices of all others, whether they be bisexual, heterosexual, or homosexual. Sensuality heightens the awareness of life, relaxing the inhibitions perpetrated on the innocent by patriarchal society. A sensual person reveres the integrated Divinity of Others, even those to whom she feels no physical attraction. This is the ultimate lesson of the archetype of Aphrodite; to trust the senses and when drawn to another to experience the worship of the Divine.

Correlating Sacred Intervals (4 foto's)
Getting Deep into correlating mystical traditions :

And in the Eastern school of thought we have the corresponding chakra centers situated at octave intervals throughout the human body. The center of the geometry is the heart - whereas the... center of the geometry in Davinci’s Vitruvian man (and many other sacred works of the west) is in the navel (where the umbilical attaches to the mother). This image is overlaid with the 7th octave waveform (green) in the musical structure.

My recount of BassCoast festival last weekend - such incredible vibrations there. Thank you all so much!
Such an incredible life!!! This is a real cute story about the past weekend and ends with a bang. It's long and worth it.

This past weekend I went solo to a music festival in Canada where I was invited to give a presentation on quantum physics, sacred music, and cymatics. Since I'm deeply passionate about this stuff, loving wife Sara was supportive of heading out of town on a weekend where she wa...s planning a major fundraising event - the Funhouse Gala dinner auction.

I was on the fence about going to the festival because my travel buddy couldn't make it, and Sara was working really hard on this event - but I also know that it is important to get my new work out there. Sara suggested that I donate an item to be auctioned off, and she suggested that it could be the co-creation of a custom signature cocktail to be formulated by myself and the winning bidder, which they would get to name and would be featured on the list at The New Leaf Cafe for one year (a very high honor if I do say so myself!). I agreed and figured if I wasn't going to be there in person at least it would go for a couple hundred bucks for the charity.

I went to the festival and had more fun than I can put into words. I met some people there that I sense I will be close with for a long time. Cosmic family - straight up!

Saturday morning at the festival I had an inspiring conversation with someone I just met, Jules Marie - she told me that for 7 years she had gone door to door as fundraiser for something she deeply believed in, and also told me about a recent experience in a foreign country where she was alone, facing challenging circumstances, and knew the only way she was going to be able to get through the day was to get to a state of gratitude. As she was telling this story, my own perception of my own experience began to shift into a state of humble appreciation. Here I was at a beautiful event, in a different country, being embraced by people that I sincerely adore, invited to share my passion with a receptive audience - while back home on the following day, at an event hosted by the astronaut who took one of the most important photographs in history ("earthrise"), someone was going to bid on the opportunity to sit with me and create a signature cocktail in a charity dinner auction for a cause that I believe in. All the sudden it hit me....

I am an incredibly fortunate human being...

...and I operate in a realm pregnant with infinite possibility and opportunity.

Now some of you who know me might think I'm a fool for not recognizing that sooner, and for any missed opportunity to appreciate the abundance that comes my way I am truly sorry. I am learning to see more of the truth every single day. I'm laser focused on some contributions that are going to raise the roof - and if my mind sometimes clouds the lens of appreciation I ask you for the gift of patience... I'm catching on

Saturday night at the festival, I gave...Ok... I ROCKED an epic presentation - complete with coreography from mother nature in the form of a rainstorm, lightning, and a "full on double rainbow" at the end of the discussion immediately after I lead the crowd in a kirtan of "Ganesha Saranam". We were flying!

I stayed up all night on Saturday dancing, laughing with friends, and trading massages with the Producer/Director of "Who Killed The Electric Car" (Chris Paine) who I had just met.

I had planned on sleeping all day Sunday and missing the fundraiser happening on Orcas... until I remembered the story that my new friend told me about going door to door. I was so touched and inspired. I figured that if I showed up at the auction in person, I could talk about how we would create the cocktail make it an expression of the winning bidder and probably make an extra hundred dollars for the charity. It was so far away and I hadn't slept, there were significant timing obstacles and I might not even make it back if I tried... but Sara would love for me to be there and if Jules went door to door for 7 years for something she believes in, than I need to step up and go raise some cash at this event. I figured if I skipped sleeping, drove the 400 miles to get home, had no wait crossing an international border, and raced to catch the 3:50 ferry to Orcas I could sleep 45 miuntes on the boat, have 20 minutes to shower and put on a suit and tie and I would make it to the gala. "I can do this!"

Well.... the ferry to Orcas was overloaded so I had to ditch my wheels and walk on the boat. I hitch hiked to my house (lost 15 minutes), shower and suit up (4 minutes), then run to the neighbors and ask if they can drive me to the gala (they say "yes"!).

I did all of those things - and I made it! Totally decorated airplane hangar, antique planes to check out upon arrival, cocktails, decked out cool people, and Sara

Then things got awesome....

I was lovingly embraced by my wife and a whole host of amazing people when I got there - everyone was genuinely happy to see me and so impressed that I wore my slick summer suit (complete with blue pinstriped wingtips). I realized how blessed I was to be there. It was an amazingly well produced event - people were having such fun!

Dinner was served and the auction began. My item was the third item to be auctioned off. As the auctioneer was in the middle telling the audience about the item I was inspired to get up and get on the stage and ask him to let me speak about it. I was riding on a wave of gratitude and apparently my sincerity came through. I told the audience what an honor it is to create something that represents someone else and I told them the story of another cocktail that I made up called "Ralph's Sangria". I thought someone might throw in an extra hundred bucks if they liked the person they were going to make it with (me). Then the bidding starts.

Do I hear $100? Yes... $200? Yes, thank you. $300? Yes. $400? Yes, than you very much. Do I hear $500? .... Again, do I hear $500?... pause.... $500 YES!

The audience goes wild. I blush, and am totally amazed. The bidding continues...

Do I hear $600. Yes! $700... yes! Do I hear $800?.... pause.... tension.... YES! Do I hear $900.... thank you - yes! Ladies and Gentelmen do I have $1000?!?!?

Boom ! Yes!

I blush and I'm nearly in tears with appreciation. The room erupts and everyone claps.

This goes on until the bidding gets to $2000! I'm looking at the two contenders bidding against each other, both are couples and one lady is sitting at the next table over. We're looking at each other and I am just saying "thank you" and I know that I want to have a session with this lady and her husband.

$2100 goes to someone in the back who I couldn't see. Going once, Going twice. Sold for $2100.

Crowd erupts. I stand to thank the couple in the back who won and I look over at the lady who was a contender. We smiled and I could tell she still wanted in. A man approached me and whispered in my ear "tell the auctioneer that you'll do 2 drinks for $2000 each".... I stalled because I was overwhelmed and was having a hard time accepting that someone just forked down over $2K so they could make a drink with me.

I let it go. Then I looked over at the woman who didn't win and I knew that I really wanted to have the opportunity to know her and her husband. Here is my chance. I shout to the auctioneer - "I want to offer 2 drinks for $2000 each!" He clarifies with me. He announces and the other lady raises her paddle.

Sold! ... 2 signature cocktails with Adam for $2000 each! The crowd erupts and I shed a tear - crying is a rare occasion for me.

Both of the winning parties are incredible people and I am truly inspired by their generosity. It was so inspiring to be the catalyst for such amazing gifts to our community.

To all who embrace me on my journey, who offer their support of my endeavors, who give generously to charity and to each other...

Thank you so... so... so... sincerely. I will give too

Sensuality means being completely at home in one’s body, trusting and living through the senses. Tasting-savoring the flavors that life offers through touching, exploring, the body, the tongue, feelings… Seeing-recognizing the beauty in all... that is beautiful-animals, flowers, trees, people, symmetry and asymmetry. Inhaling the fragrances of all and enjoying each. Listening to the voices of all living things and reveling in the uniqueness of each. Sensuality may be enthusiastic, even athletic, but it is always in unison with another.

There is no sensuality if each does not experience the overwhelming passion of total surrender, a voluntary experience of worship and the relinquishment of the center of one’s own ego; the placing of the fate of the self completely in the hands of another. It is a selfless experience of unity; two become one and then two.

Surrender is rebirth. A mortal experience of reincarnation, it is the “little death” of the self in total trust that strengthens all aspects of life. It is an affirmation of life. In the surrender is the return to the self, yet it is also a return to the more perfect awareness of the sanctity, the beauty, the whole being of another. The desire to adore the other remains, sensuality lingers to fill up the heart, embracing each other even in dreams. The absolute revelation of each others scent, taste, touch, sound and sight is the perfected worship of the Divine life that lies within each of us.

Sensual awareness does not confine itself to one person, or to people in general. One may share the totality of surrender only with other people, yet the sensual awareness of all is also worship. We can experience the softness of a cat’s fur, the rough aliveness of a tree, the taste of the salty ocean, the panorama of a sunrise, all with the sensual reverence inherent in Divine awareness. A Sensual individual is aware of all people, irrespective of gender, as being the Divine Other. It is not a sacrilege to desire the sharing of love with more than one partner, many partners, or with more than one gender. A truly sensual person understands her/his own nature first and respects the choices of all others, whether they be bisexual, heterosexual, or homosexual.

Sensuality heightens the awareness of life, relaxing the inhibitions perpetrated on the innocent by patriarchal society. A sensual person reveres the integrated Divinity of Others, even those to whom she feels no physical attraction.

This is the ultimate lesson of the archetype of Aphrodite; to trust the senses and when drawn to another to experience the worship of the Divine.

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe ...in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
