A Very Doable Temple Proposal

Imagine 8 participants laying on a circular sound floor, inside a pyramid covered with LED lights moving up and down according to the coherence of a Random Event Generator. The transducers under the floor and speakers on the pyramid radiate from the center in a spiral formation, allowing sequential pulses of sound to inform the space with spin, giving the sensation of being inside a rotating vortex or black hole. Above each participant is a multicolored strobe that entrains one's brain waves to the same frequencies as the sound from speakers on either side of one's head, which would use binaural beats, similar to the "Hemi-Sync" tracks. Throughout the experience a constant, repetitive shamanic drumming would be played. In the center of the floor would be a cymatics device - a large speaker that transforms the sounds from the environment into a complex, pulsing geometric display. Hanging from the center of the pyramid is a tetrahedral orgone generator, with LED lights controlled by the REG. This would rotate at different speeds, creating even more of a vortex effect. To facilitate deeper states, each person would have a Galvanic Skin Response meter controlling the tone of speakers in front of them. It would be easy to tell when mindfulness and entrainment techniques are working to deepen the group's meditative state. The relative stress or calmness would also be fed back in visual form through the cymatics display, which would have broken quartz crystals in the water, charging it from the vibrations and intentions of the participants. This water could be consumed at the end, creating a powerful rejuvenating and energizing effect.  The sound floor could be covered in a light reflective surface to mirror the pulsing light from above. To enhance the subtle energy transfer from participants to mind at large, the entire pyramid structure would be an orgone generator of sorts - 8 columns of broken quartz crystal encased in clear resin and metal shavings would go from close to each person's head, to meet at the top. The tubes could be wrapped in copper coils, and lasers pointing through the tubes could be held in place by transducers vibrating at higher or lower frequencies, depending on the coherence of the REG, or tone of each GSR. You can imagine that greater coherence (Z-scores) would lead to enhanced visual effects, teaching the brain to create coherence at will. The copper coils up the quartz tubes and perhaps underneath the floor and up around the whole pyramid could create the effect of a capacitor of consciousness - holding and amplifying subtle energy.

I believe this temple is very possible to make. I did not go overboard in adding the Heart Rate Variance Monitor and 3d holographic projections. Something like that would require a bit more technology and computer programming. The REG programming needed for the above project is the simplest I can think of, but could be improved and complexified with time. The speakers and transducers would need to be computer controlled, to have it all timed perfectly. The track with binaural beats and audio entrainment would be created in advance, complete with introduction, gradual build up, frequency following, peak, and return. The "Hero's Journey" would be the model - initiation, separation and return, or a diving down into the unconscious, shamanic underworld, retrieving lost knowledge, and bringing it back. A major goal of this project is to get the highest levels of REG coherence possible, with the audio visual feedback. This device would also tell us which ritual procedures are effective at influencing "the field" and galvanizing the group into a state of coherence, which would alert one to opportune times for specific acts of magic. A final necessary element is that of creative expression, especially visionary painting and sculpture to anchor experiences and channel knowledge gained from non-ordinary reality. Such works of art could serve as portals to dimensions of hyperspace or maps of non-ordinary reality, to enable easier, repeatable access and travel to other worlds. Once such an immersive environment is built, emergent combinations of both ritual and technology will flower forth, perhaps from insights gained from within the experience itself. In other words, doors upon doorways will be flung open to the intrepid travelers of as yet unexplored vistas within the mind.

I would love to hear any suggestions for improving these ideas, especially technical details of related subtle energy devices. If anyone would like to help me build, program, or run such a temple, please let me know, especially those in the Northeast.
