  ENDNOTES

  Chapter 1

  1. The Venus day is longer than its year and revolves only once every two-thirds of an Earth year, forming the musical interval of a perfect fifth. As a result, Venus revolves exactly twelve times over its eight-year pentagonal period while aligning with Earth five times. In this way, the Venus cycle is analogous to the musical Cycle of Fifths, which traverses all twelve tones in an octave.

  Chapter 2

  2. First, we need to know the speed of sound. At a room temperature of 20°C (68°F), sound travels 1,126 feet per second. From this we can find a frequency near A-440 that will divide evenly into the length of the chapel. The best fit is 422.25 hertz because this divides exactly 2.666666666 times (the wavelength in feet) into the distance sound travels in one second. So, when we divide the seventy-two-foot chapel length by the wavelength of 2.66666666 feet, we find the prime resonant frequency of the entire chapel to be twenty-seven hertz.

  3. Here are some examples of Classical tunings near A 422.25:

  4. Here is a table showing how well A-432 would fit at this higher room temperature:

  432 Hz / 18 ft. = 24 Hz / ft. // Choir width

  432 Hz / 48 ft. = 9 Hz / ft. // Choir length

  432 Hz / 36 ft. = 12 Hz / ft. // Chapel width

  432 Hz / 72 ft. = 6 Hz / ft. // Chapel length

  432 Hz / 44.5 /Ф = 6 Hz / ft. // Choir height (golden ratio of length)

  5.

  6. Equal to 8.1 * (1.3 + 0.012345679) = 10.63 English inches

  7.

  Schumann Resonance Frequencies

  i.33 Hz Undertone (-6.5 Hz) equal to a 4:3 perfect fourth

  7.83 Hz Fundamental

  i4.33 Hz First overtone (+6.5 Hz)

  20.83 Hz Second overtone (+ 13 Hz)

  27.33 Hz Third overtone (+i9.5 Hz)

  33.83 Hz Fourth overtone (+26
Hz)

  8.

  9. The square’s perimeter can be calculated as 92’ x 4 = 368’, and the circumference of the circle is 2p x 59’ = 370.

  10. Lingam is a celestial phallus, and yoni is the celestial vulva.

  Chapter 3

  11. Lord Kubera was revered as the chief of the Guhyakas and considered a “king of kings,” a “god,” and the “guardian of the north.” The word Guhyakas comes from the word godha (root gudh or guh), meaning chameleon or dragon-serpent. The etymological root of Kubera is kumba, meaning to conceal.

  12. Some believe this story to be the prototype from which the Greek mythology of the Golden Fleece was based. It too was protected by a dragon-serpent.

  13. Associated with the actual island Sri Lanka at the southern tip of India. The legend claims that it was once the top of Meru that fell off into the ocean to create this island.

  14. The Fibonacci series converges to the golden mean by dividing adjacent diagonals in Mount Meru as 1 / 1 = 1, 2 / 1 = 0.5, 3 / 2 = 1.5, 5 / 3 = 1.666, 8 / 5 = 1.6, 13 / 8 = 1.625, 21 / 13 = 1.615, and so on toward the infinite golden mean constant Ф = (5 + 1) / 2 1.6180339887.

  15. Budha (Mercury) is Vishnu, the younger brother of Indra, the great god, the Sun who is also later represented by Shiva; whereas Shukra (Venus) is the teacher of the asuras (demons).

  16. Coincidentally, 432 divided by (4 / 3)2 is equal to 243, the Venus double cycle in Earth years.

  17. Shukra is also described as being born on Friday, the fifth day of the week.

  Chapter 4

  18. Adding the orbital proportions of Venus-Mercury with Earth-Venus creates the Fibonacci proportion: (Semi-major-axisVenus / Semi-major-axisMercury + Semi-major-axisEarth / Semi-major-axisVenus) / 2 = 13 : 8. (108.21Mkm / 57.91Mkm + 149.6Mkm / 108.21Mkm) / 2 1.625 = 13:8

  19. The average sum of distances between every planet’s semi-major-axis is equal to 1.61813, very close to the golden mean of 1.618033. This is why a theoretical solar system model that spaces the planets at ninety degrees along a golden spiral from the Sun approximates the actual spacing of the planets.

  20. The solar golden mean is measured logarithmically between the Sun and outermost planet Eris. It occurs around 138.5 million kilometers from the Sun or 11.1 million kilometers inside the orbit of the Earth, which can be expressed as RadiusSun *F11.

  21. The Fibonacci and square-spiral symbolism of Meru made its way to Greece in the myths of the “Black Sun” of Shambhala and Hyperborea. According to W. H. Muller in his book Polaria, “The Black Sun is the Beacon of the World [and] Mountain of Meru spinning in the Space of Spirit.” Symbolized by a wheel with swastika-like spokes, the so-called Black Sun has numerous esoteric meanings taken from the Meru legend.

  The Black Sun swastika is found in many cultures around the world, such as the Roman swastika fibula worn on Frankish and Alemannic women’s belts. Some connect the Black Sun to the Thule Society and the Order of the New Templars, thus revealing their roots in the Rig-Veda.

  In the early twentieth century, the Black Sun returned in Nazi mysticism to represent the “Center of the New World.” Today it is believed by some esoteric groups to have been a source of power for the Aryans in some distant past, again suggesting the existence of a secret wisdom of harmonics.

  22. Interestingly a dripping of the honeycomb was also reported in Rosslyn chapel whenever the stone beehives on the roof would seep through and drip down the Prince and Earl Pillars.

  Chapter 5

  23. This connection is further revealed in the word parth, which is a Sanskrit word meaning “the person who never misses his target.” It originates in the Indian epic of Mahabharata in which Krishna fondly calls the warrior prince and great archer Arjun by the name Parth. Like Arjun, Athena was a warrior figure and protector of the Athenian people. Like Vena, she always hits her target in the sky, never missing her pentagonal alignments with Earth or transiting the Sun once a century.

  24. Acacia plants are one of many different species of psychoactive plants that when ingested crosses the blood-brain barrier to alter brain function. Such plants can dramatically affect perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior, and have a long history of use in different cultures to induce religious visions.

  25. Vaticanus is also known as Vagitanus, the god “who presided over the beginning of human speech” and the first cry of an infant. In this way Vaticanus is the analog Vena as a fertility figure in the Rig-Veda.

  26. The Babylonian name for Noah was “Nu.” Thus the name for the Hindu god Vishnu, the Hindu Redeemer, simply means, “the man, Noah.” The biblical legend of Jonah being swallowed by a whale is based on Hindu depictions of Vishnu as a man being swallowed by a fish (or “vish”). The Fisherman story of Christ is a variation on this.

  27. Catholic meaning “catharsis,” from the Greek word katharsoi.

  Chapter 6

  28. Within the Sun-Moon circle is the Altar of the Chair of Saint Peter, placing him at the rocky summit of Meru (Hara Beresaiti) and equating him with Mithra.

  29. The Ark is in fact a reference to two drums—one ceremonial drum kept in the Holy of Holies of the temple and the other used to lead men into battle.

  30. Interference distribution for twelve is expressed as:

  f(12) = 122 / (Ф12 / 5) 1.

  31. The root of swastika is swasti, meaning “it really is!” or “shine.” This was the symbol of light and enlightenment for Lord Vishnu and his serpent.

  32. A formal proof for this can be found in my book, Interference.

  Chapter 7

  33. This legend parallels a flooding of the temples there. In 2002 a theory proposed by Graham Hancock led a joint team from the Scientific Exploration Society and marine archaeologists from India’s National Institute of Oceanography to the discovery of ruins submerged off the coast of Mahabalipuram at Tamil Nadu. Out of what was probably a seven-temple complex, only one Meru temple remains on the shoreline at this location. Some suggest the sunken complex was the source of the legend of the lost continent of Lemuria.

  34. These include the following: (1) Indo-Aryan beliefs and practices; (2) a musical-astronomical religion founded on sruti and shabda in the Rig-Veda; (3) the study of harmonic patterning in nature, known as the Sound Current, Audible Life Stream, and the Word; (4) the communal ingestion of entheogenic plants to elevate consciousness; and (5) pyramidal temples modeled after the Vedic cosmology of Mount Meru.

  35. As the Earth spins on its axis, the entire sky rotates around the pole star like a giant cone or Christmas tree. Above this pass the Sun, Moon, and Venus.

  36. The word “lily” is from the Babylonian word lilu. The Easter lily was a phallic symbol sacred to Astarte or Venus (Walker, Woman’s Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects, 428).

  37. Asherah was also called Astarte and Ashtaroth.

  38. The dawn goddess was always worshipped on hilltops and mountains, such as Mount Heron—a memory of the role of Vena as protector of Mount Meru in the Rig-Veda.

  39. According to the prominent French geologist Jules Marcou, Vespucci’s Christian name was originally Alberico, which he changed to Amerigo (also Americus) after sailing to the New World. He speculates that Vespucci did this to claim the discovery for himself and the Church.

  40. Modern name Koh-i-Mor located in the Paropamisade region between river Kunar and Swat in the land of Ashvakas. This name, however, refers to the Meru mountain of Chitral, Tirich Mir, distinct from the Deva-Meru in modern Diamar.

  Chapter 8

  41. Since Merou or Muru was synonymous with Dagon, the Peruvian Amurru god would have been a serpent king. As an embodiment of this deity, Tupac Amaru would have also been considered a solar serpent and Son of the Sun.

  42. This is further confounded by a similar pair of carved entrances and caves near Cusco known as Amaru Machay, the Temple of the Serpents.

  43. All living things contain DMT (DiMethylTryptamine), though some more than others. In humans it is believed to be a produ
ct of the pineal gland located at the bottom center of the brain. In addition to being the most psychoactive molecule in the world, it appears to be related to dreaming and near-death experiences.

  44. Machu Picchu translates as “Old Peak” in Quechua, and Mashu translates as “Twin” in Akkadian.

  Chapter 9

  45. Kilili might also be the namesake for the pre-Incan civilization of the Killke.

  46. In the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, Lilith is associated with a serpent and a “zu bird.” This bird is an owl that makes its home in a huluppu or willow tree that grows in Inanna’s garden in Uruk. The willow mentioned refers to a mimosa, a psychotropic acacia tree, the sacred tree of Inanna or Ishtar.

  47. Some equate the tresses of Lusasset to the Greek’s Golden Fleece.

  48. Many of the religious stories around the Mediterranean may have originated in entheogenic visions, such as the burning bush of Moses and the transformation of his rod into a serpent.

  Chapter 10

  49. Alcmene overcame the spell of goddess Lucina (Lusaaset), sent by Zeus’s wife by Hera, to give birth to Heracles. In this way Alcmene is superior to Venus.

  50. The Koh-i-Nur diamond was once the largest known diamond in the world and belonged to various Hindu, Mughal, Persian, Afghan, Sikh, and British rulers in the state of Andhra Pradesh where Mor Hill is located.

  51. Another Mount Meru is Mount Kailash Parvat near Nabhi Dhang, on the border between India and Nepal, where there is an actual town named Kubera after the lord of the mountain.

  52. The term “messiah” originates with the Egyptian god Sobek, the crocodile musuh. Interestingly Sobek wore a headdress in the shape of a Meru tower.
