The great tragedy of modern times is the excessive fragmentation of our knowledge. Inundated and confused by fascinating and frightening bits and pieces, we drift and suffer because we don't understand who we are, where we are, or why we are. "Existen- tial" bravery in a meaningless universe or "scientific" narrow mindedness in a dead universe are poor replacements for a com- prehensive, life-respecting, and sensible view of our identity, our world, our purpose. Will Big Science give us the integrated world view we need? Unfortunately most scientists are really just technicians, elaborating small fragments of reality. We need a "visionary." But most people labeled "visionary" are fanatics who have become entranced by some small portion of the whole and mistakenly blown it up to cosmic proportions. We need the challenges to wholeness that come from competent visionaries, people who have depth as well as breadth, enlivened by a love for life. Jose Arguelles is one of that rare breed, the competent visionary. He is master of the verbal arts, yet his vision goes beyond them and is expressed herein by his extraordinary artistic talents. Any single one of his holonomic maps can lead the thinking/feel- ing reader to new insights into himself and his world. That there are fifty holonomic maps presented is remarkable! I wholehear- tedly recommend this pioneering book to anyone willing to be stimulated and chal- lenged by a marvellous New Age vision of our Selves, our Earth, our Universe! Charles T.

sets of correspondences present themselves: heaven, earth, and man; and heaven, earth, and weather. Accordingly ch'i, the universal life- force or energy, is subdivided into heaven ch'i, earth ch'i, and weather ch'i. Of the weather ch'i it is written: "Weather ch'i of which there are five mediate between heaven and earth much in the same way that man is midway between heaven and earth," (Skinner, 1982). Like man, the weather ch'i participates or partakes of both the earth ch'i and the heaven ch'i. Given this correspondence, it is easy to see why geomancy may be a supreme science for man. Both man and weather— the changes of the phenomenal world available to our senses—are unified by revolving about the same axis—the tran- scendent axis alluded to by the phrase "heaven, earth, and man," the self-existing natural hierarchy of the universe. Not only in China but in the traditional preindustrial West, geomancy, though often disputed by Church orthodoxy, held a high position among the arts and sciences of man. This is particularly evident, for exam- ple, in the work of one of the last great synthesizing philosophers preceding the triumph of scientific materialism, the seven- teenth-century English physician, Robert Fludd. Even by his alias, de Fluctibus, with its connotations of fluidity and dynamic movement, Fludd allied himself with the unceasing and interpenetrating movement of forces set in motion by the unifying laws that underlie the order of the universe. Thus it was that Fludd applied himself to a central study, "Cosmic Meteorology" a natural counterpart to the feng shui of China, with its designations of winds, earthquakes, rainbows, etc., and their correspondences to psychic conditions and stages of develop- ment. Even more significantly, among his diverse cosmic diagrams, one finds that geomancy was preeminently placed. These diagrams include: 1) "The Mirror of the Whole of Nature and the Image of Art," 2) "The Liberal Arts," and 3) "The Microcosmic Arts." In "The Mirror of the Whole of Nature," among the arts and sciences, geomancy is placed clockwise in the highest position just above astronomy, adjacent to arithmetic or number. Similarly, in the diagram describing the liberal arts, geomancy finds its place between as- tronomy and music, indicating its role as an art of harmony. Finally, in the diagram of the microcosmic arts, the psychic aspect of geomancy is emphasized by its placement between prophecy and the arts of memory. In all of Fludd's diagrams, geomancy is designated by the heraldic design format displaying the binary permutations of the order sixteen. It was investigation of the geomantic permutations that also led Fludd into a study of binary numbers and

The warp represents the celestial, heavenly, the electromagnetic weave of the psi bank as distinct from the latitudinal woof, representing the terrestrial, biological, and historic pattern (see Map 37). Both warp and woof each consist of eight sections for a total of sixteen mutually interfacing parts. While the warp has a pattern identifiable as a repetition of eight of the 260-unit (20 rows across x 13 vertical) Tzolkin or Tonalpohualli, the Sacred Calendar of ancient Mesoamerican civilization, the woof is based on the progression by eights of the sixty-four kua or binary linear patterns of / Ching. Encoded in the psi bank warp are four sets of binary triplet configurations set ninety degrees apart, conjoined at the zero latitude or equatorial line. The four ninety-degree divisions encom- pass the surface of the earth. The ninety-degree divisions also correspond to the progression of the seasons in their north/south polarity, for a total of eight sets, each defined and charac- terized by a binary triplet configuration. The primal symmetry and primordial order of the warp pattern of the psi bank matrix distinguish it as the aboriginal generative field from which all other patterns, systems, structures, and orders of being and knowing are derived. The most primary of these structures, of course, is the binary triplet configuration itself.

The geomantic flowchart corresponds to the primary geomantic perception, heaven above, earth below, and man in between. As we have seen, these three designations correspond respectively to the electromagnetic, gravita- tional, and biopsychic fields of the primary resonant field model. The geomantic flowchart emphasizes this three-part relationship as an organismic cycle revolving about the central axis which divides the model into two halves: man and weather. As the two volatile variables between heaven and earth, man and the weather com- prise a unique binary relationship, the mutual interaction of which has long been a recognized foundation of all systems of geomancy. More generally, the weather or left-hand side of the geomantic flowchart represents the total spec- trum of the phenomenal world known to man, the so-called objective world. The right-hand side, representing the biopsychic spectrum of internal and external sensations as well as all psychic impulses, corresponds to the so-called subjective world of mind. The totality of these two halves, with all of their mutual correspon- dences, comprises the binary structure of nature and the holonomic model of knowing. The facing model of a holonomictopocosm with evolved psi bank rings depicts a con- sciously harmonized planetary field structure, the primal model of which is represented by the geomantic flowchart. The horizontal rings represent the motions of the planet in time—the gravitational field—while the vertical rings correspond to the cumulative articulationsof the different psychocultural stages in the planet's evolution toward a consciously harmonized condition. The lotus, from which emerges this "planet with noosphere," to use de Chardin's phrase, is the age-old symbol of purity and awakened intelligence.

This mode of visionary learning, corresponding to the AC (aboriginal con- As we have seen, the Tzolkin or Sacred Calendar is based on a set of thirteen numbers sequentially repeated twenty times for a total of 260 permuta- tions. When we consider the Mayan notation system and the pattern created by the numbers 1-13 repeated sequentially in the Mayan nota- tion system, a purely visual pattern is clearly evident. This visual pattern can be abstracted even further in the manner presented in this map. What we see is a matrix of thirteen rectan- gles within which a heavy line rhythmically rises and falls repeatedly, twenty times. Above and below the row of rectangles curved lines relate the odd and even rectangles to create two further rhythmic patterns corresponding to the fact that when the numbers of the thirteen rows are added up, the sums of the even rows differ by seven, while the sum of the odd rows differs by six. When we contemplate the Sacred Calendar in this purely visual manner, we can appreciate all the more that we are dealing with a pattern intrinsic to nature, and not a man-made inven- tion. Knowledge of such patterns results from a combination of observation and total body-re- ceptivity. Also, as indicated in considering the role of the 260-unit matrix in the psi bank weave, we realize that we are dealing with anintuitively perceived celestial pattern—in this case, one biopsychically associated with the rising and falling pattern of binary sunspot movements. Evocative of the celestial scanning of the intui- tive eye of the primary process of knowledge through attunement is the Navaho sky-window diagram depicted beneath the rhythmic pattern of the Sacred Calendar. The shape of this pattern probably corresponds to that of an observatory window in one of the Anasazi (Colorado River region, North America) ceremonial centers, ca. 1000P.A.

Seen as a whole, the three fields of knowledge and their "celestial" and "terrestial" subsets comprise the science of unity or holonomy itself.

The subsequent stages, ancient world, medieval world, and modern, all describe the increasing psychosensory elaboration that marks history as a play of forces and ideas ever-more divorced from the original harmony with the environment. As a result, the sum total of educational techniques, aesthetic forms, and general conditioning processes become increas- ingly encoded in forms that must be learned regardless of the primary biological tendencies. This entire process accounts for history as "fixed" second-nature habitual tendencies.

By this statement we mean that the story of the emergence of man—the bio- From an ocean, itself evolved from the stars, the crossover polarity dynamic of the double helix emerges: two currents of energy simultaneously processing information in opposite directions; two strands of information, the one containing the template of the other, a mere microscopic fragment—yet encompassing the pattern of the whole process of growth, evolution and univer- sal order itself. Alive, therefore pulsing; a rhythmic counterpoint of negative/positive— positive/negative pulsations. Everything pulsing. Sexual, dynamic, throbbing, full. And history, so completely a manifestation of this primal processes no different: a binary pulse, a back-and-forth sweep of vision, transfor- mation, and synthesis, the interweaving of aboriginal continuity and civilizational advance. As a magnification of the binary triplet configuration exemplified in the primal pattern of DNA, history—the process of planetary hominization—remains obedient to the funda- mental principle of crossover polarity. With this simple image in mind, we may begin to probe beneath the conditioned words, the slogans, the competing ideologies, to the actualities of the holonomic process of planet earth. In so doing, we may discover that what we call history has been only a dramatic instance of transformation, resulting from a moment of utter uniqueness in which man, in crossing heaven and earth in himself, jump-started the consciousness of the planet.

In viewing the earth as a space/time matrix, the first thing we must grasp is the inherent unity of earth, space, and time. Within this unity, the emergence of man is also a unity. Just as the element fire is the same all over, though kindled by different means, so human culture is one. And as the wave of hominization gathers its strength and rolls from the late Pleistocene into the Holocene or present era, so the advent and emergence of civilization is equally a unified global phenomenon. As the rings of a tree tell us its age, so may we view the different stages of human psycho- cultural development as successions of rings emanated by a planetary core. To date these rings are four in number: 1) the ring of the aboriginal emergence; 2) the ring of the ancient world, with its seven streams of civilization: the Nilotic, the Mesopotamian, the Indian, the Chinese, the Mesoamerican, the Andean, and the Nigerian; 3) the Ring of the medieval world, with its three cosmopolitan religions: Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam; and finally 4) the ring of the modern global-industrial world. These four rings, or stages, of history may yield further insight when seen as the double helix weaving of the AC and CA currents com- prising the binary pulse of psychocultural de- velopment. In this image the psychocultural process is depicted as an interchange of AC/CA dominance. Since the AC begins and ends at top and bottom left, the stages in which it dominates are the first and the third, the aboriginal and the medieval. Stages of CA dominance are the ancient (hieratic) and modern, the second and fourth respectively. Running along the right- hand side is a relative time-scale giving dates in the P.A. code.

Continuingtoemploy the double-helix model of the binary pulse of psychocultural development, this map demonstrates more completely the nature of history as the process of psychosensory elaboration. Of special significance in this map is the graphic display, through the horizontal lines within each of the four stages, of the cumulatively steady increase in psychoatmos- pheric density (PAD). A direct function of psy- chosensory elaboration, psychoatmospheric density refers to the increasing incidence of artificial conditioning factors in the planetary environment. Thus from bottom to top there is an increasing darkening of the historic field. The first stage, corresponding to the mythic Golden Age, is the clearest, most open, and psychically receptive field. The present stage is the darkest. While the darkness of the fourth stage could refer to the physiochemical pollutants of the industrialization of the planet, it may also be seen as a psychoatmospheric air-inversion—an overdensifcation of conditioned information that obscures the possibility of clear vision. Finally, it may also refer to the darkness that precedes the dawn. Psychosensory elaboration may be ab- breviated as PSE. As such, it is the opposite of ESP. While ESP as the incidence of psi pheno- mena is most common or prevalent in the first stage, its opposite—PSE—dominates the fourth stage. This factor accounts for the almost com- plete denial of the validity of the AC current in the end phase of the fourth stage of the binary pulse of psychocultural development.

While the preceding map gives a very precise description for the code of history through the sixty-four stages of binary language of biopsy- chic transformation and is intended as a guide for study and contemplation, this map presents the sequence in the more simple and synthesized code of Mayan notation. It is described as a holonomic field pattern because the sequence of the notation subsumes the biopsychic, genetic/historic patterns. As a holonomic field pattern, it is the code and image of an all-encompassing matrix. What seems real and important to us in the present moment, is, finally, the scintillating blip of a pattern that is at once enormous and beyond any scale that mind could grasp, and yet fantastically, humiliatingly simple. Omnipresent, transparent, showing in and through everything, the holonomic field pattern requires but one condition for its com- prehension: an awareness stripped of any preconceptions, a mind that is totally void of ego or selfishness.

These images are self-explanatory. However it should be noted that the other example of a magic square of 8 also has a pulse of 260. There is a simple explanation for this. If you add the numbers 1 to 64 in a sequential manner, i.e. 1+2 + 3 + .... 63 + 64, the sum total is 2080, the number of units in the psi bank matrix, which divided by 8 yields 260.

It was first published in this broadside form in the summer of 1980, and has since been re- printed twice. Included as an appendix here, it outlines basic principles underlying the establ ishment of the Planet Art Network, suggested in the Afterword. The Planet Art Report was presented as a document at the First Planetary Congress, Toronto, June, 1983, and, along with the program pre- sented by the Center for Peace through Culture, provided the basis for the actual establishment of the Planet Art Network. Dedicated to the promotion of the principles of Peace through Culture as initially articu- lated by Nicholas K. Roerich (1874-1947), the Center for Peace through Culture and the Planet Art Network have as a primary mission education about and dissemination of the Banner of Peace as a single powerful means for unifying artists on a planetary scale.

A book is not just an idra, but an actual- ity. That Earth Ascending has a worldly form is due to my old friend and publisher, Sam Bercholz, a man of vision and inspiration who unhesitatingly told me to go for it! There were special people at Sham- bhala Publications who deserve praise and thanks for their care and concern in the production of this book, most notably my editor, Emily Hilburn, and the production and design manager, Eje Wray. Also assist- ing in the design process were Gail Renlund and that cheerful genius of synchronicity, Howard Wapner. Finally, I must express gratitude to the many people not only in North America but around the world, who, when I was in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS difficulty, gave me the encouragement and A hook such as this is a bursting forth, an inspiration to pursue my dream.

Any book or work of art is a calling forth, an evocation. In this case, those doing the evoking and providing the audience and stimulus for many of the ideas and images contained in these pages were my many students at both the University of Colorado, Denver, and at the Naropa Institute, Boul- der, to whom I express my deepest apprecia- tion.

It is for this reason that the third edition of Earth Ascending is the indis- pensable textbook of the invisible col- lege administering the Earth-ethical curriculum of the biosphere-noosphere transition. May this also be the last and most definitive edition. Beyond the mil- lennial flash point of the manifestatio of the psi bank, the galactic future will be reinscribed within our very cells. Telepathy will provide the knowledge we now lack. Spiritually one, we shall turn as one into another vast cycle of evolving intelligence, Earth Ascending. About the Author
