This is a US Navy JHSV Fast Catamaran Ro-Ro (roll-on roll-off accessible cargo bay) Ship with the AM47 treatment!
24 July 2013
The Project ALTER MAN 47 ship needed a proper name so I used 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 aka The Mantra. The name of the AM47 ship is EL MANTRA 47.
The USN JHSV class ship featured in this post is a perfect canditate for the AM47 ship: ex-military, ramp accessible cargo bay, multi-hulled for stability (no sea-sickness), new, fast, big enough, and ALT fuel/energy conversion ready! This ship seems to have everything we’d need for a successful Alchemical voyage around the globe!! Now what we need is for folks to open their minds and give this wild idea a serious chance because NOTHING ELSE IS WORKING!

(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.

After writing an initial grant proposal on 01 Dec 2012, we are ready to begin submitting more and also start crowdsourcing campaigns to make this dream real. You can help AM47 immensely by taking a quick look at the project pages and leaving a thought in the comment fields that are located at the bottom of each page. We’re working hard to help make this world a better place and we’re making progress too. Many Thanks in advance for your help and participation!
Today I submitted a grant proposal to BRAF that required a 300 character intro, a 1500 character summary, a 1500 character validation and 2 media files. Here it is:
‘AM47 is a project of astonishing Synchronicity. We need a 300ft decommissioned military vessel w/an alt-fuel conversion and a BMan styled & Maker Faire equipped retrofit. We’ll fill the ship with all manner of interactive alt-living tech & culture exhibits and tour the globe to a set host of ports.’
‘AM47 is an ongoing project of extreme collaborative creativity. We are going to chronicle a voyage aboard a 300ft decommissioned military vessel that’s been altered into an alt-fueled, MakerFaire equipped & BurningMan styled ship of dreams on an unprecedented circumnavigation of the globe to help raise the Awareness of mankind.
The trip will take 1 year to complete, set to the ancient Egyptian/Sidereal Zodiacal year. In addition to set ports of call AM47 will connect 4 specific points discovered to have profound Alchemical significance and order, each relating to the 4 Classical Elements: FIRE = San Francisco, WATER = Japan Trench, AIR = Turkmenistan, EARTH = Azores & also AETHYR = North Pole.
Remarkable Synchronicity is associated with the development of the project thus far (documented @ AM47.org) & we fully expect this to continue & evolve into truly legendary experiences. The 2008 biofueled race around the globe called Earthrace & the annual BurningMan pilgrimage were major inspirations in the development of AM47. In many ways AM47 is like the Alchemical progression of Burning Man taken to The 4 Corners of the Earth via The 7 Seas.
AM47 grew out of Vision Dreaming, Alchemy, Sidereal Astrology, & even inter-special cetacean-human communication! AM47 is demonstrating that these spiritual techniques are crucial to the future of mankind by documenting their effects & developing ways they can be used together to improve our inner reality & our outer world along the journey.’
‘The ship is a platform for alt-fuel, tech, art & culture featuring fellow creative visionaries from the BMan & MakerFaire community. The cargo bay will be transformed into a kind of Alchemical chamber with a tour path for visitors to be immersed in all the interactive exhibits & be Altered coming out the other end!
I’ve been developing AM47 since 2007 & the Synchronicity w/the BManProject’s mission is uncanny. The BMP has stated goals “to grow the BMan cultural movement by facilitating the spread of the BMan ethos around the world & around the year!” with “sites for ritual & (FIRE!) ceremony” here in S.F. In fact, all the necessary components to make AM47 a reality are in the Bay Area!
In addition to the Alchemical mission of AM47, we will also be visiting receptive & developing ports (S.E. Asia, Myanmar, India, etc.) along the way for alt-fuel demo’s/providers/sponsors, BMan coastal regionals, etc. BRSolar could provide some of the ships solar energy needs as well.
Due to the scope of AM47, we’re looking to BRAF for partial funding toward a better website, better video, better design, scale model of the ship, business plan, editorial development, crowdsourcing campaigns, preping for other grants & general publicity. I’m guessing a fiscal agent will be required as well. We are seeking a crew of filmmakers, artists, musicians, writers, scientists, mystics, freaks, lovers, fishermen & perhaps most importantly, benefactors to depart from San Francisco to Japan by 16 Oct 2013.’

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.
