First Look at the NeoShamanic Tuning Temple!

The long awaited Tuning Temple is miraculously manifesting from the dreamtime depths of my mind! The structure slowly took form, after consulting helping spirits in drum journeys, gaining from synchronistic discussions with fellow researchers, and after mysterious bouts of inspiration from brainwave entrainment sessions, it's finally in full form... well, almost. I've posted two new videos on youtube, laying out the vision and testing some biofeedback -- a combined Galvanic Skin Response meter, Heart Rate Variance monitor, and Heart Beat monitor, relays data to the Mind Workstation program, and sends it to the projectors, speakers, and 4 tactile transducers mounted on the floating floor of the temple.
The more information and feedback we get -- audio, visual, tactile -- the more we become aware of our thoughts, emotions, minds, bodies, and our effect on the seemingly outside world. This is the essential teaching I have gained from psychedelics -- that they let us see past our ego and normal perceptions that put things into hard categories (inside and outside) and instead let us see the manifestations of our mind on the world, and ultimately the world AS a manifestation of MIND. This is the final REVEAL-ation at the end of the age -- that matter is simply mind in disguise.
In this sense, I have attempted to create an environment that is literally psychedelic, where participants are enveloped in the contents and processes of their minds. The element that takes it all one giant step further, is the Random Event Generator. Numerous studies have proven that consciousness significantly affects the outcomes of these devices. The more the outcomes deviate from expected chance, the more it reveals the coherence of the field of consciousness around it. I'm presently trying to convert this data into visual and auditory feedback, so the temple space will reflect changes in subtle energy and group coherence. Feedback like this could be tremendously helpful in seeing what kind of entrainment or ritual practices, are truly effective at producing Gnosis, heightened awareness, and focused intent. This meditative power could be used for healing the earth, encouraging other trance-formative causes and projects, or propelling the imagination of humanity to dream up novel solutions.
This is what this time of crisis and transition is letting us see -- the imaginative solutions within non-ordinary states, waiting to be realized on earth. I hope this temple will let each of us see and know the power of the mind, to access the creativity and divine inspiration within, and help it manifest heaven on earth. There is a beautiful, magical world out there; I've seen it in my visions, and it's just a few timewaves, and one raging hyperdimension away. It is my hope that as I have brought forth this vision into reality, so too can others enter this temple, connect with the source within, see the power of the mind, and feed novelty back upon itself -- driving evolution and awakening ever faster, through the eye of the spiral, to infinity.

I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions! I'm especially looking for a programmer to write a simple driver to take data from the REG, compute a Z-score, and send it to another program, (BioEra) to be displayed. Contact me if interested! jedimindtraveler at gmail
