The latitude of the Alchemical Elemental points of Project AM47 are shared by almost all the power centers of this modern world.
Don’t You find it just-a-little-bit-strange that almost all the major power centers of this modern world lie on the same latitude as the Alchemical Elemental points of Project ALTER MAN 47? Curiously astonishing, don’t You think?? The Modern World: S.F. (Silicon Valley), New York, D.C., Rome, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Tehran, Beijing, Tokyo… ALL within a few degrees of the latitude of Project AM47. Striking. Not to mention the fact that the cradle of civilization as we know it; the 12,000 year old astroarchaeological site at Gobekli Tepe, Turkey is DIRECTLY on the latitude and just west of AM47’s Alchemical Point of Elemental AIR. Hot Stuff. Planet Earth is a Magic Item! She’s an altar with all the instruments of The Art built-in. All she needs now is the master ritual of The Alchemical Great Work, and AM47 aims to do just that.

AM47 is the visionary voyage of an alt-fueled ship around the globe; Bourn of a Dream & enhanced by astonishing Synchronicity toward a far more Magical view of humankind’s capability of true change. AM47 aims to further generate Synchronicity and help alter the world’s Destiny by exalting ‘The Pentaform ※ : A psycho-cosmic pyramid crowning Gaia’.

{ The Alchemical Great Work has remained an elusive spiritual mystery. It is the core of an evolutionary metaphysical experiment developing right now. Central to the Great Work are the 4 Classical Elements and the 7 Inner Planets. Four locations in perfect formation around the globe are naturally and profoundly manifesting characteristics of each of the 4 Elements. This Elemental pattern is found no where else on the planet and is in the correct ordering of Alchemical transformation. A voyage is being organized to circumnavigate the globe and link these locations in order to generate, observe, dedicate and send the magical forces into Awareness by completing The Pentaform: a psycho-cosmic pyramid crowning Gaia. Project AM47 begins on 02 Sep 2013. }

AM47 is both an ongoing project of extreme collaborative creativity and an upcoming experimental film documentary. We are going to chronicle a voyage aboard a 300ft. decommissioned military ocean vessel transformed into an alternatively fueled and Maker Faire equipped, Burning Man styled ship of dreams to carry us on this unprecedented circumnavigation of the globe to help raise the Awareness of mankind.
The Alchemical Great Work, Basil Valentine
As Evidenced* throughout AM47, much fascinating and undeniably meaningful Synchronicity is associated with the development of the project thus far and we fully expect this to continue and evolve into truly legendary experiences, captured and broadcast on digital film and otherwise. Both the 2008 bio-fueled race around the globe called Earthrace and the annual Burning Man pilgrimage (and Burning Man Project!) were major inspirations of Project AM47, and in many ways AM47 is like the Alchemical progression of Burning Man taken to The 4 Corners of the Earth via The 7 Seas.
The 4 Elemental Points of AM47 by Jack Foolman
The project was induced and is influenced by Synchronicity, Vision Dreaming, Alchemy, ancient Egyptian/Sidereal Astrology, and even inter-special cetacean-human communication. AM47 is providing evidence that these ‘fringe sciences’ are not only real but crucial to the future of mankind. AM47 is documenting the current effect of these spiritual techniques and developing ways they can be used together to improve our inner reality and our outer world.
Activated Point of ALCHEMY, Unknown
The trip will take one full year to complete on a very particular time schedule set to the ancient Egyptian Sidereal Zodiacal year, on a very particular course, connecting 4 destinations spanning the globe. These 4 Points have been found to have a profound Alchemical significance, each relating to the 4 Classical Elements: FIRE is in San Francisco, WATER is at the Japan Trench, AIR is in Turkmenistan, EARTH is in the Azores and also AETHYR is above the North Pole. Together they make The Pentaform: a psycho-cosmic pyramid crowning Gaia.
This Cosmate, Unknown
We aim to provide tangible innovative knowledge along the way including alternative energy demonstrations, sustainable agriculture models, and all manner of alternative living technology that we can fit aboard the ship, in addition to performances and entertainment. We are currently seeking a crew of filmmakers, artists, musicians, writers, scientists, mystics, freaks, lovers, fishermen and perhaps most importantly, benefactors to depart from San Francisco by 17 Oct 2012 (or 16 Oct 2013, etc.).

Alternately, read a transcript of the visionary dream that really kick-started this entire project here:Delta & Dawn Dream
Clearly this project is a logistical nightmare and a sunken juggernaut without the right team to manifest it. As it stands, the dream swings on a threadbare shoestring over the Abyss. We need all kinds of folks willing to contribute their time, expertise and passion. We need a professional website and video. We need web help, coding help, production help, marketing help, crowdsourcing help, editorial help, research help, and probably mental help. If you’re interested in being involved in a visionary project that will challenge you on every possible level, you’ve found it. And Intent is crucial… so clear a path in your soul and jump on-board!
* This is an experimental work of Speculative Fantasy / Metafiction: Dreaming-up wild yet tangible and evidenced ideas, and following the Synchronicity that flows from them. It is metaphysically blending dreams with currently developing reality to alter the course of Destiny.

(08 June 2013) Today was the New Moon in Sidereal Taurus and the first organizational meeting of the San FranciscoHoly Grail Society: a social club organized around the exploration and practice of occult mysteries including Rosicrucian, Wicca, hermetic sciences, Qabalah, Tantra, Gnosticism, & Shamanism.
We explored the notion of how Sacrifice for the future is necessary right Now. Sacrifice in it’s extreme form is physical death. We would rather see sacrifice as Change. Unless this change is identified and rapidly embraced, the necessity of physical death as fertilization is inevitable and welcome.
We must sacrifice our old self. We must break down our old selves and assemble someone new. We have the wrong diet, the wrong currency, the wrong governance, the wrong calendar, the wrong zodiac, the wrong energy, the wrong beliefs. Virtually Everything in so-called modern civilization is completely backwards leading us to have a wrong identity that must be sacrificed. We need a radical departure from the habitual waste of everyday existence. But just changing ourselves isn’t enough. We must quickly find new ways to gradually layer this process of sacrifice to make it appeal to others as well.
The past strangles the future. Society must adopt a vegetarian diet, a Bitcoin/Silver/barter based economy, 3rd party governance, a lunar calendar, the sidereal zodiac, a culture based around what alternative energy can provide instead of a runaway culture fueled by petrol, and direct spiritual experience instead of traditional belief. If 23% of the passionate population took to the streets and demanded these Alterations, we’d be living in an Alternate reality by 2014.
Folks need fresh, living myths in order to become more willing to change. They need evidenced stories of the power to manifest dreams and demonstrations of the work it takes to do it. They need stories of proof of non-localized consciousness and the value of seeking out such things. They need Destiny Journalism, Metafiction, & Speculative Fantasy. And they need ritual, ceremony, counseling, education, and initiation rites to inspire personal & cultural revelation.
There is evidence in literature and archeology of a Golden Age in earth’s past. After The Flood, coastal civilization would have been all but wiped out (which makes us largely the descendents of hill-billys). What were they doing differently in the Golden Age that we no longer do? One thing we know is that much of the remaining architecture is focused around the live observation of the heavens. Very few people take this seriously today and through all the smog and light pollution, there’s little desire to do so.
12,000 years ago atGobekli Tepe, Turkey, civilization was founded on an agreement of the stars in the heavens, and the future of civilization is no exception. Sacrifice is needed Now if humankind is ever to see The Age of Sidereal Aquarius, still some 363 years in the future.
The SF Bay Areais the once and future capitol of counterculture. Here are just a few of the currently active occult organizations in and aroundSan Francisco that wemight like to explore bridgingto build continuity and the alignment of disparate intent:
The Temple Of Set is an institution designed to encourage the cultivation of self-Awareness in life transcending death. “The Temple of Set seeks above all to honor and enshrine consciousness. We wish to apprehend what makes us each individually unique and use this gift to make ourselves stronger in all facets of our being. To do this we preserve and improve the tradition of spiritual distinction from the cultural universe.”
The Holy Grail Society is a social club “organized around the exploration and practice of occult mysteries – Rosicrucian, Wicca, hermetic sciences, Qabalah, Tantra, Gnosticism, Shamanism. The Holy Grail Society is devoted to liberating the individual from the bondage of external morality, cleansing the doors of perception, revealing the true will of the divine Self.”
The San Francisco Astrological Society “serves as an educational, professional and social networking resource to the Bay Area (Tropical) Astrological community, providing an *affordable* monthly forum for people interested in astrology to gather and explore this *ancient language*.” Though the SFAS are still Tropical and not yet Sidereal astrologers, they do have a large participatory base primed for Alteration.
The Burning Man Project “is establishing an Urban Cultural Center in San Francisco that will provide collaborative gathering and gallery spaces, classrooms, workshops, a library, archives, sites for ritual and ceremony and shared office space for multiple community-based non-profit organizations.”
The Mission Astrology Group was founded in San Francisco and is the longest running gathering of Western Sidereal Astrologers in the world, currently active in various occult groups in SF.
Project ALTER MAN 47 is essentially a Synchronicity Generator and an experimental quest to help reset and raise Global Awareness. One tangible goal of AM47 is to provide an extreme example of creating culture around what sustainable, alternative energy can support as opposed to mindlessly fueling a runaway culture of excess.
All these and more to be added soon, so stay tuned!

(14 June 2013) Just 6 days after I posted this, a brilliant interview aired on one of my favorite news shows (no, Not the Daily Show) with Dr. Rushkoff about Time and so much else. There are many fascinating parallels between my article “Bridging the Occult Societies of San Francisco” and this one on Thom Hartmann’s excellent show: The Big Picture. The interview: “Conversations with Great Minds: Dr. Rushkoff – When Everything Happens Now” is included here in 2 parts. Take a look at it and tell me what You think!!
I worked with the Speakers at the O’Reilly Fluent Javascript conference the other day in SF and a group of the speakers began talking about their love of ships and meeting up later at the SF Maritime Museum. The conversation quickly turned into how they’re all just really moonlighting coders but sci-fi writers at heart. So I jumped on the opportunity to chime-in and share my Alchemical Project AM47 and hand out my card. AM47 is of course all @ ‘sci-fi’ (or more appropriately, Speculative Fantasy / Metafiction) and, well… Ships! I’ve probably flat-blasted the poor bastards. Ah well.
Max sportin’ the Google Glass that he let me wear.
As a caveat, @ 47 minutes later, a speaker wearing prototype Augmented Reality glasses from Google asks me if I want to try them on. As soon as I put them on and swipe my finger at the temple control, the time [ 4:47 ] pops-up!! This type of Synchronicity is common for me, and increasing all the time, but it’s nice to have actual witnesses, not to mention potential new contacts. It’s a sad state of affairs when you can’t simply come out and say things like “Sidereal Astrology“, “Alchemy”, “Synchronicity”, “Vision Dreaming”, and the like without being ridiculed or disregarded out-of-hand. But I’m learning to take every chance that comes, damn the consequences… By Any Means Necessary!

Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi broadcasting pure magic from their ship of serpents.
(30 May 2013) Today I decided that the Project ALTER MAN 47 ship needed a proper name. I figured a good place to start was to make an anagram of ALTER MAN: a a e l m n r t
El – the one (Spanish), God (Semitic)
Mantra – a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of “creating transformation” (Sanskrit)
EL MANTRA or just The Mantra. The name of the AM47 ship is The Mantra.
This mantra, the Moola Mantra, evokes the living God, asking protection and freedom from all sorrow and suffering. It is a prayer that adores the great creator and liberator, who out of love and compassion manifests, to protect us, in an earthly form.
Uhh, okay. Well that was easy! And of course a perfect fit. Not only is it precise, but also multi-cultural and perfectly aligned with the Intent of Project AM47. The Mantra will be equipped with a highly advanced sound system with a wide range of vibrational capabilities including Cetacean interaction, meditational attuning of the crew and broadcast sonics with a variety of wonderful and strange applications.
Concept yacht of a voyaging island. Although The Mantra will look nothing like this polished dreamboat, it does have obvious Elemental aspects: FIRE = volcanic tip, WATER = waterfall pool, AIR = central thoroughfare, EARTH = volcanic base. Magic!
The Sound of God.

Get Hot, Stay Hot!
The Sun and Mars were conjunct as they entered SIDEREAL Aries on 15 April 2013.
Sun + Mars + Aries = FIRE, heat, anger, violence, explosions, confrontation, etc.
1. Boston Bombings on 15 Apr 2013
2. Texas Fertilizer Explosion on 17 Apr 2013
3. Alabama Shipyard Explosion on 24 Apr 2013
4. Detroit Refinery Explosion on 27 Apr 2013
5. The giant early Southern California wildfires crowned this Firey episode coast to coast by igniting on 01 May 2013, the center of Sidereal Aries. The Fire’s relatively early ignition was as the Sun conjunct Mars hit the center (or “Angel Point”) of Sidereal Aries (Cardinal FIRE)… This is just the tip of the inferno.

Jack F. is a hippie samurai Zoroastrian swimming to Atlantis.
His story really began in 2006 when he had a Vision Dream involving a voyage around the globe by sea. Since then, most of his free creative time (aka. Real Life) goes into producing the story of this dream and cultivating the astonishing Synchronicity bourne of it.
