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.’
This is a new version of a 47 second video explaining what Project AM47 is all about. I’ll be using it for grant proposals, business plans and publicity, etc. A longer video is in the works, too. :

‘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 September 2nd, 2013. Learn more at alterman47.org‘
(‘Who can imagine the possibilities of a Master Synchronicity Generator on an Alchemical voyage around the world? And what fool would deny it??’)
The Edgar Cayce Earth-Change map of the west coast.
The Earth has a thin skin/
And the Ocean is her tear/
The lady shed creation/
And lost the MonkeI’s fear.
So, it’s no secret that I see the # 47 – All..The..Time – like, ridiculous amounts of the time. With the supernatural frequency of sighting 47, am I telling Me that I should move to New Mexico (the 47th state) before the real rock n’ roll Earth Change begins? I’ve had dreams (before I ever really looked at the above types of maps) of being up at my folks place in the hills west of Sebastopol, just north of San Francisco, which is right about on the coast of one of these supposed new islands of Kalifornia. In the dreams, the sea was either licking at the deck of their house from the valley below or some kind of dark deluge was overtaking the entire place. My visions and dreams have proven correct before, in nauseating detail… but when does one really pay heed to such visions and phantasies and stay sane in the *real* world.?. It’s enough to burst one’s brain all over creation. Still, if I can’t trust my instincts, then what can I trust??

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.
