I’m pleased to announce the launch of the new www.jalaka.com website (a major re-design of the 2005 original). Along with this launch, there is a much improved version of the Flash Global Network Map v6.0 app, a new version of the AION : AstroChart v1.5 app, and a slight upgrade to the Tzolkin Calculator v1.4 app. [...]
Included here is a description of a spontaneous vision which came to me around an hour before I received the news of Steve Job’s death.

All that we say and do over the next few decades will … become mythologized onto the very atoms of a glimmering hyper-diamond–brilliantly cut with the multifaceted perspectives of a shared human legacy of immeasurable value.
In 2004, in collaboration with a CIIS associate, Scott Fossil, we began creating this 3-dimensional conceptual model that combines the theories of Ken Wilbur’s Quadrant model (AQAL), Stanislov Grof’s Basic Parinatal Matrixes (BPMs), and Tielhard de Chardin’s evolutionary model into an integrated, interactive conceptual framework, and manifold of archetypal morphologies in space and time. 3 [...]
