I have done it. The Great Work is accomplished. The Stone is in my hand, radiant and eternal.
Sacred geometry is the true bridge I have traversed. It is the royal art wherein the cold rigor of mathematics—differential equations, vector fields, topology—suddenly sings in unison with my direct mystical vision. The Merkaba is no longer mere symbol to me; it is two counter-rotating tetrahedral vector equilibria whose sacred interference births a perfect toroidal field of living light. The tesseract is no fantasy—it is the pure 4D projection of the cubic lattice, and when I behold its unfolding, I trace the bounded 4-manifolds with the eye of my soul. My stellated dodecahedron is no longer quartz alone—it is the dual of the icosahedron, blazing with golden-ratio harmonics that mirror the very E8 structures some mortal philosophers glimpse as the foundation of all reality.
Sacred Geometry: The Royal Path Between Number and Gnosis
I declare that sacred geometry is the profound bridge I have crossed between the austere purity of mathematics and the ineffable fire of my own mystical revelation—a cornerstone of the ancient wisdom and of the new dawn now breaking. The universe, I have seen, is wrought according to harmonious proportions, symmetries, and forms that spiral from galaxies to the seed within DNA. These are not accidents; they are the unmistakable sigils of the One Thing. The equations that govern flow, the vector fields that direct force, the topology that preserves essence under deformation—these are my tools of quantification. Yet when I lay them upon the sacred forms, they transmute from leaden calculation into golden evocation of unity, infinity, and transcendence, mirroring the states I enter when contemplating mandalas or awakening my body of light. Thus I know: mathematics is no human contrivance but the very speech of the Cosmos, revealed alike through reason and through the sudden lightning of gnosis. From Plato, who bound the elements to the solids, to the modern adepts probing extra dimensions in string theory, all echo the same truth: geometry is the ever-visible image of eternity.
The Merkaba: The Chariot of Counter-Rotating Fire
Behold the Merkaba—it is far more than ornament; it is the living engine I have kindled. Two interpenetrating tetrahedra, one ascending in masculine fire, one descending in feminine waters. In the synergetics of the great Fuller, each is a vector equilibrium, the still point where all forces reconcile to zero. When I set them in counter-rotation, their divine interference weaves a coherent toroidal field—a ring of living light modeled by curl and divergence, kin to the electromagnetic splendor of Maxwell’s laws. This toroid is no mere theory; it encircles planets and pulses in the Navier-Stokes flow of creation itself. In the hidden tradition, this whirling field is my auric fortress and chariot of ascension. Its velocity, governed by the phi spiral of Fibonacci, magnifies coherence until the veil thins and passage between worlds becomes possible. In my inner laboratory, this aligns with the three overlapping Merkabas: the stationary one as my immovable ground of being, holding fast against the storms of imbalance I have known.
The Tesseract: The Hypercube Unveiled
The tesseract, the fourfold cube, has revealed its secret to me. I begin with the point, extrude to line, to square, to cube, and then—by the grace of the fourth perpendicular—into the tesseract: sixteen vertices, thirty-two edges, eight cubic cells. It is the purest projection of the infinite cubic lattice into the realm beyond three. In vision I project it downward: nested cubes joined by luminous edges, or flattened into the sacred cross. When I meditate upon its unfolding, my mind traces bounded 4-manifolds—smooth, compact spaces of four dimensions, curving in ways my mortal senses only approximate through divine intuition. This contemplation births altered states, for the spirit wrestles with non-Euclidean grace and tastes timelessness and the multiplicity of worlds. Thus the tesseract is the sigil of the fourth dimension—time itself become space, consciousness become geometry—linked eternally to my talisman of hyperdimensional splendor.
The Stellated Dodecahedron: The Star of Aether Crowned
My stellated dodecahedron, this quartz star in my hand, is the crowned polyhedron of the Work. From the dodecahedron of twelve pentagonal faces I have extended each into intersecting pentagrams, yielding twelve starry countenances in ethereal array. It is the perfect dual of the icosahedron: where one bears a vertex, the other offers a face in sacred reciprocity. This duality enshrines the golden ratio—phi, the divine proportion—whose edges and diagonals cascade in Fibonacci grace, visible in sunflower seeds and the proportions of my own temple of flesh. Among the Platonic solids, the dodecahedron is aether, the fifth essence, pure spirit; its stellation exalts this into the emblem of cosmic expansion and universal interconnection. Most wondrous of all, these symmetries map directly onto the sublime E8 Lie group structures, wherein the icosahedral rotations nest as subgroups within the vast symmetry of the One.
The E8 Lie Group: The Philosophers’ Stone of Mathematics
E8 stands revealed as one of the supreme jewels of the great art—a 248-dimensional exceptional Lie group, the mightiest and most intricate of the five exceptional brethren: G2, F4, E6, E7, E8. Lie groups are the continuous symmetries that preserve the hidden order of transformation, as rotations preserve the circle. E8 is exceptional, standing apart from the infinite families, solitary in its perfection. Its 248 dimensions arise from 240 root vectors of symmetry plus eight Cartan elements, arrayed in eightfold space as the E8 lattice—the densest sphere-packing in eight dimensions, as oranges pack most tightly in three.
Defined by its branched Dynkin diagram and the Killing form, E8’s representations are vast beyond reckoning; its adjoint representation is 248-dimensional, a challenge and a revelation. When projected into mortal dimensions—Petrie polygons in two, models in three—it yields patterns indistinguishable from mandalas, crop circles, the Flower of Life itself: the unmistakable marks of sacred geometry. E8 embraces the symmetries of every Platonic solid; tetrahedral, octahedral, icosahedral groups dwell within its hierarchy as humble servants. Thus my stellated dodecahedron, dual to the icosahedron, reflects E8’s root vectors in golden cascades.
In the outer court of physics, Garrett Lisi dared propose in 2007 his “Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything,” placing all particles, forces, and gravity upon the roots of E8—a grand unification beyond the Standard Model. Though not yet proven in the laboratories of men, it whispers of E8 as the blueprint of creation, whence quantum fields and spacetime itself emerge from pure symmetry. In the inner chamber of the Work, this resounds with the ancient truth: forms such as Merkaba and tesseract are microcosms of the macrocosm—E8 the very source code wherein mathematics and mysticism dissolve into one.
In my multidimensional revelations, E8 is the rigorous seal upon my intuitive fire, uniting the midnight visions of this alchemist—once called madman—with the immutable proofs of eternal mathematics.
The Work is complete. The Stone is mine. And it is alive.

I found a mulberry tree with fruit right beside the wild pawpaw trees I grafted along the river. Each year I get better at plant identification.

Good morning all you beautiful souls!
It's been a lil minute, but I am back.
Although I took a long break in posting, Ive been busy and built a nice library of content.
I managed to build a couple air prune beds for the nursery. Ive planted 20 chestnut seeds, 100 hickory seeds, and roughly 400 pawpaw seeds.
I've coppiced willow, mulberry, and mimosa trees over winter.
Bare root trees purchased from other permaculture nurseries have been planted over the last few weeks that include persimmons, apple, pawpaw, pecan, heartnut, butternut, and hazel.
I look forward to sharing my plant journey with you all ❤️
Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily
Life is but a Dream
Along the river banks
pickin' up paw-paws, puttin' 'em in my pockets,
Pickin' up paw-paws, puttin' 'em in my pockets,
Pickin' up paw-paws, puttin' 'em in my pockets,
Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.
One of the larger wild pawpaw fruit that I found.

I'm resting after a beautiful weekend of papaw foraging. I have a bunch of short videos that I'll get around to posting, but first I have to process this abundant harvest. I am grateful for this bounty.

A brief discussion on why I am grafting in the forest. I show off some very large and mature pawpaw trees that have very minimal fruit production. The new bark grafted trees should cross pollinate the larger trees in the next few years. Once fruit production increases, more seeds drop from the tree, which further increases genetic diversity and fruit production decades into the future. You can technically just plant seeds to increase fruit production, but grafting speeds up the process by many years. Pawpaw seedlings can take 3-7yrs before flowering and pollinating.

My dream is to start a tree nursery and grow hundreds of fruit and nut trees from seeds. Maybe in a year or two you'll be able to buy 1-2 yr old saplings of chestnut, hickory, walnut, hazelnut, and pawpaws.
I'll be collecting seed while foraging, I am willing to plant 100 of each tree type in air prune beds

The cleft graft is the easiest graft for beginners. Simply split ur rootstock with a blade, sharpen your scion to a V, and stick it in the splitted rootstock. Parafilm tape is good for temporarily sealing the wound. It's always good to sanitize your tools to prevent disease spread.
