earphones recommended to listen to the Schumann Resonance. 


“Tessellate” 

on the surface
it’s easy to see
we tessellate

inadvertent 
decorative ostentatious
flirtatious lives taking risks 

with the other sides
planned strategic functional 
quantity rich quality lacking

Human

our words our ways
opposites 
like magnets attract, it all fits 

we think it doesn’t, yet
from the beginning of time 
it has been like this 

adam and eve
right and wrong
black and white

scales, 

like severed lizard tails grow
and overtake – the sweet taste
of those red apples

thin skin cuts deep, yet,
like a poet, 
we keep imagining

our large and small stories,
inside us the music of life
keeps beating like a dirge drum 

the distant beat 
nearing, closing in,
a promised requiem;

opposites

some of us give in,
rocks in pockets we 
dive full throttle in

some of us, 
rise from the great depths
we never give in

underneath 
the weight of scales, 
a little light slides in

our lives morph to change
the inescapable 
the karmic repeat;

like music scales
we sync together like a symphony
humming reptilian in our circadian dreams

our tales rattling 

like puzzle pieces, 
flight or fight again 
is setting in upon us, 

we’re bit, 
the poison takes,
we are overcome

in our words and deeds
we succumb, to some 
Milkwood good gentle night

some find a way to right it

we write new prescriptions 
for antidotes, like a drug 
we take it all in

the meaning of “It” all

we are all pre-determined
we are arranged into place
to meet the already unknown

in each the other;

in each the other
we want that - that,
which we do not possess -

it’s a catch-22;

mere unforseen adjustments, 
the primary puppet-master
considers us secondary

the peacock tails, 
like fables, 
are regrown;

without gaps?

oh there are gaps 
you state, 
clear cut

that suck you back in 
like a black hole
it’s a necessary sin, 

the transfiguring -

but in the grand review, 
still everything fits,
perfectly and absurd

the universe 
hears
everything

and it responds
gaps, or no gaps
and swallows us all back in 

holy unwhole

like we are two 
dimensional nothings
openings and closings 

like origami puzzles dancing
exploding and imploding 
shredding confetti, 

a marriage of sorts

something to chew on, 
and spit out,
papier-mâché,

we are all looking 

for ourselves -
each piece of us is found 
in the opposite of ourselves puzzle

the majority, 
to be arranged 
neatly back into place

like a torn photograph
with different people 
matrixed in time and place -

not that simple;

hidden in the abstract
we are priceless 
bent works of art

unable to be forged
to exist forever man-made
in our counterfeit lives -

there is still some time -

we are still in kindegarten,
we can see patterns forming
through the old-soul eyes of a child 

that take us away from the norm,
the expected maturity 
the constraining boundaries;

we are part of a great myth
that finds amusement and succour
in our existence, it is ever-watching 

our fragile selves
holding the signed contracts
somewhere imprinted deep within

we are consistent 
in our openings
and foldings 

breathing out and in
breathing out and in
breathing in and out ...

just as in a game of cards
the origami of our 
many sided vessels

clearly seen 
in a brief moment
for what we truly are,

our days are each numbered
we are all each numbered, 
eventually the roulette wheel stops 

on past tense, read,

Black Jack 21
we fold, 
we cave in

our souls turn our face upwards 
to the universe of all things
It hears everything, 

all seeing I that It is

and It throws Its bowling balls
and we, its pins, stand sentry 
patient and impatient collectables

watching others
trying to learn 
from their experience

waiting our turn,
some nervous
some begging

to be scooped up,
ushered in, and yet,
on grand review 

one piercing truth -
the World 
never stops for us;

on another level,
the World’s heart beat
escalates

The World
continues to spin


Candide Diderot. ‘25


inque tuo sedisti, Sisyphe, saxo
"and you sat, Sisyphus, on your rock"



"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light." 
(Excerpt: "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night"/Dylan Thomas)

"Brain Waves: The Schumann Resonance is believed to be in sync with the brain's alpha (8-13 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) waves, which are associated with relaxation, creativity, and meditative states. This may be related to the phenomenon of entrainment, where one object begins to resonate or oscillate at the same frequency as another object.

Immune System: Exposure to the Schumann Resonance is thought to enhance the immune system's functioning, increasing effectiveness. This also may be related to the entrainment of the body's sympathetic nervous system and its relationship to the immune system.

Mood and Emotions: The Schumann Resonance is believed to have a positive effect on mood and emotions, promoting feelings of well-being, calmness, and inner peace. This could be related to an entrainment effect on blood pressure, and in turn, its effect on dopamine and serotonin neurotransmission in the brain.

“The alchemists, who in their own way knew more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail.

The Ouroboros has been said to have a meaning of infinity or wholeness. In the age-old image of the Ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the more astute alchemists that the prima materia of the art was man himself. The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This 'feedback' process is at the same time a symbol of immortality since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself, and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and he, therefore, constitutes the secret of the prima materia which ... unquestionably stems from man's unconscious. “ (“Ouroborus” - Jungian Philosophy).

“On March 7-8, 2025, observers of the Schumann Resonance system noticed something unusual—an apparent total blackout in readings. However, rather than a true absence of frequency, it is more likely that the resonance surged beyond the system’s ability to measure it. Similar anomalies have occurred in the past when intense energy spikes exceeded the sensitivity of the monitoring equipment, resulting in either incomplete data or automatic filtering of extreme fluctuations.”

“The Earth has a heartbeat—a natural frequency known as the Schumann Resonance. This electromagnetic pulse, typically hovering around 7.83 Hz, serves as a key energetic signature of our planet, resonating with human consciousness and the rhythms of life itself. In recent years, we’ve witnessed unprecedented spikes, anomalies, and now what appeared to be a complete blackout of the system that tracks this frequency. But was it truly a blackout, or did the frequency surge beyond measurable limits? What does this mean on an esoteric and metaphysical level? How does it connect to the Age of Aquarius and humanity’s awakening?”

"To truly see the world, one must first unsee the illusion. In an age where men chase reflections on glass and shadows on screens, I ask—do you still hear the whispered secrets of the wind? Do you trace the spirals of seashells and know them as echoes of the cosmos? Do you gaze upon a river and feel the pulse of eternity within its flow? Once, I filled pages with the wings of birds, the curls of waves, the sacred geometry of flowers. Not to capture, but to commune. To see is not merely to look—it is to unravel the language of the universe, written in light and shadow, form and void. Look upon the world with the eyes of wonder, and it will reveal itself to you.” (Leonardo da Vinci)

decorate or cover (a surface) with a pattern of repeated shapes, especially polygons, that fit together closely without gaps or overlapping.

"In sacred geometry, tessellations, or patterns formed by repeating shapes without gaps or overlaps, are often used to symbolize the interconnectedness and infinite nature of the universe, with specific shapes like triangles, squares, and hexagons holding symbolic meaning."

"The fact that the Earth’s natural resonance aligns with our Theta and Alpha states suggests that humanity and the planet are deeply intertwined. Many esoteric traditions believe that shifts in the Schumann Resonance influence human consciousness, emotional states, and spiritual awakening."
