47 Excellent Dartboards: All White Males except for 4 women and 1 token Black Man.
I’ve been toiling away in relative obscurity trying to manifest Project ALTER MAN 47 for the past 7+ years. One of the main stated goals of AM47 is a very unusual diplomatic mission through Iran, which is one of 4 main destinations on the visionary voyage of an alt-fueled ship on a unique mission to circulate *alt-tech+culture* around the world.
The mutinous actions of these 47 US Senators borders on Treason which is punishable by death. And although they will surely slime their way out of their ultimate and well-deserved Justice, please SIGN THIS PETITION to begin the process of their punishment. This may be our chance to Alter the USA forever, or at least show our numbers in opposition.
The dire problems of this age can NOT be solved by the means that created them, and it is past time that this *civilization* began to take alternative solutions seriously. I propose one of those solutions to be Project ALTER MAN 47 and other things like it. I don’t need your advice… I need your help. In the meantime, join me in a round of darts.
Wild Wishing!!!

Project ALTER MAN 47 is the visionary voyage of an alt-fueled ship on a unique mission to circulate *alt-tech+culture* around the world; Borne of a dream & guided by astonishing Synchronicity to include an ancient Alchemical process within humankind’s emerging potential to truly change. The AM47 crew aim to further generate Synchronicity and help alter earth’s destiny by circumnavigating the globe to exalt *The AM47 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 these magical forces into Awareness by completing *The AM47 Pentaform: A psycho-cosmic pyramid crowning Gaia*. The cycle of project AM47 annually begins again on 02 Sep 2013 (& 01 Sep 2014, etc.).
Gonur Tepe, the birthplace of Zoroastrianism is in Turkmenistan, next to the AM47 Point of AIR.

Four locations in perfect cross-quarter formation around the world are naturally manifesting the characteristics of the 4 Classical Elements of ALCHEMY. The mission of Project ALTER MAN 47 (AM47) is to film the journey of an alt-fuel ship that will circumnavigate the globe to connect all four of these points, one every three months, over the course of a year (the timing of the voyage is strictly set to the ancient Egyptian/sidereal astrological year). In so doing this will further generate Synchronicity and help raise the spiritual Awareness of humankind. Departing from the Point of FIRE in San Francisco, to the Point of WATER off the coast of Japan, to the Point of AIR in Turkmenistan/Iran, to the Point of EARTH in the Azores, and back to the Point of FIRE in San Francisco to complete the circle.
When the Sun aligns with the direct center or “Angel Point” of sidereal Aquarius, the Point of Elemental AIR (PoEA) can be expected to manifest in the vast, barren Kara Kum desert of Turkmenistan (just north of Iran). The next PoEA is on 29 Feb 2012 (and 28 Feb 2013, etc.). The AM47 ship was scheduled to have sailed from the Point of WATER off the coast of Japan and have docked at the Iranian port-city of Bandar-Abbas in the Straight of Hormuz by mid-Feb 2012. The crew of AM47 was then to travel north, overland through central Iran to Turkmenistan and into the Kara Kum desert to arrive at the PoEA at 37.47 N, 64.03 E on 29 Feb 2012 (and 28 Feb 2013, etc.). This point lies just east of the ancient city of Mary and the very ancient site of Gonur Tepe. Gonur Tepe is the recently discovered 5th center of world civilization of the ancient world (side by side with Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China) that was the birthplace of Zoroastrianism (and hence Mithrasism and all monotheism), a religion based on the opposition of good and evil. There, the overland crew of AM47 was to generate, observe, dedicate and send Elemental AIR into Awareness.
The AM47 ship was then to continue its circumnavigation of the globe to the Point of EARTH in the Azores and then return to the Point of FIRE in San Francisco. After a successfully documented and magically transformative journey around the world, the ship was to again set sail north in late-Sep 2012 for Alert, Nunavut, the northernmost inhabited city on the planet near the North Pole, for the Point of Elemental AETHER and the Gateway of Arcturus on 17 Oct 2012 (and 16 Oct 2013, etc.), thus completing The Pentaform: A Psycho-Cosmic Pyramid Crowning Gaia. Although funding for the journey was not secured for this years attempt, the cycle begins anew each year and Project AM47 will try again for a scheduled departure on 01 Sep 2012 (and 31 Aug 2013, etc.) from San Francisco’s FIRE to the WATER of the Japan Trench.

AIRy Facts about Turkmenistan/Iran. Here is a chronological history of all the potent information, news and events from this location, most of which have obviously uncanny Elemental AIR connotations:
1. 4,000 years ago, the “lost civilization” of the Margiana built a great city at Gonur Tepe (just slightly west of the Point of Air in Turkmenistan) which sat at the hub of the crossroads of many cultures. There they invented Zoroastrianism (the first recorded monotheism/dualism which also venerated the 4 Classical Elements and Alchemy) and presided over this vast network of cultures during what was called “the happiest time in the history of the world”.
The Yaz culture is an early Iron Age culture (ca. 1500-1100 BC). No burials related to the culture have been found, and this was taken as evidence of the Zoroastrian practice of excarnation or so-called sky burial.
2. (Ancient) There is a temple in present day Ashkabad in Turkmenistan with the inscription “mehriyan” or “place of Mithra”. The Mithraic Leontocephaline figure has remained enigmatic. But if you consider it’s origins being in the 4 Elements and the 4 Persian “Royal Signs” of the zodiac, it is clear that this lion-headed figure can gracefully represent these: Leo, FIRE (lion head), Scorpio, WATER (serpent coiled – Scorpio was also symbolized as a serpent in Egyptian, Babylonian and Persian myths), Aquarius, AIR (angel body), all standing atop Taurus, EARTH (as a stylized bull’s head/globe/earth). The Leontocephalous/Mithraic symbology is an ancient embodiment of the 4 Elements precessing through the equinoxes and hence, of sidereal astrology and Alchemy itself! Did the Leontocephaline symbology originate in the land that is now modern day Turkmenistan? The figure is of course standing or hovering in the AIR over the EARTH globe.
The Mithraic/Zoroastrian figure of the Leontocephaline: the gatekeeper of the zodiac.
3. (Ancient) The border between Iran and Turkmenistan was determined by “a supernatural arrow shot through the air” as documented in Persian antiquity. Did this “arrow” land on the AM47 Point of AIR? “When Manouchehr and Afrasiyab determined to make peace and to fix the boundary between Iran and Turan (Turkmenistan), ‘it was stipulated that Arash (Erekhsha) should ascend Mount Damâvand, and from thence discharge an arrow towards the east; and that the place in which the arrow fell should form the boundary between the two kingdoms. Arash (Erekhsha) thereupon ascended the mountain, and discharged towards the east an arrow, the flight of which continued from the dawn of day until noon, when it fell on the banks of the Jeyhun (the Oxus).'”
The archer Erekhsha, firing the arrow into the air to determine the border between Iran and Turkmenistan.
4. (Ancient) Historically, the favored funerary practice of the peoples of this vast Central Asian region was excarnation (open Air disposal) on “Towers of Silence” (just like Hanging Man!).
A modern-day Tower of Silence in India.
5. (1800’s) The society of modern day Turkmenistan is considered one of the most repressive on earth. That stands in diametrical opposition to the very essence of the AIR Element, it can be considered as ‘the shadow of Air’. Elemental AIR represents the intellect, communication, planning, organizing, writing, languages and teaching, as well as commerce and travel. Ancient Turkmenistan was a major trade hub on the old Silk Road linking the East to the West.
Totalitarian repression in Turkmenistan, making AM47’s journey here problematic to say the least.
6. (2008) Gobekli Tepe, the very recently discovered 12,000 year old catalyst point of civilization is just west of the Point of AIR, and at the exact same latitude!!!!! As far as we now know, human civilization was based on the observation and agreement of the stars above and what the movement of space-time really meant to the human experience.
Gobekli Tepe, the 12,000 year old earliest known archaeological origin of human civilization based on the stars above.
7. (2008) A team of international surveyors determined Turkmenistan to have the second or possibly first highest natural gas reserves in the world! (AIR, the gaseous state of matter!) .
The Darvasa Gas Crater in Turkmenistan spewing natural airy gas and burning since 1965!, just slightly west of The Point of Elemental AIR.
8. (2008) Turkmenistan is now beginning to enter the news due to its vast energy reserves and because of it’s strategic value as it borders both Iran and Afghanistan. Also because of Turkmenistan’s stance of political neutrality, which is a very AIRy aspect indeed.
Strategic geographic location.
9. (2008) Both the Aral Sea to the north and the Caspian Sea to the west of the Point of AIR are drying-up… point of fact.
The drying Aral Sea
10. (2008) Wind Man, a film about an AIR Elemental and Madar, the Angel of Death from ancient Persian myth, played for the first time here in San Francisco. Wind Man was filmed in 2007 right near the Point of Elemental AIR in Turkmenistan!
Wind Man film soundtrack poster.
11. (10 Mar 2010) An unprecedented super-novae event (a nova-level flash event where none was expected) was detected in Cygni V 407, which shares the celestial longitude of the center of sidereal Aquarius. The Sun had aligned with the center of sidereal Aquarius and the Point of Elemental AIR just 10 days earlier on 28 Feb 2010. Though this super-novae event was detected on 10 Mar 2010, it is easy to surmise that the actual event (perceptible to earth) occurred closer to 28 Feb 2010, which was the direct center or “Angel Point” of sidereal Aquarius!
The Cygni V 407 unprecedented super-novae event occuring within the orb of the Point of AIR AND sharing the celestial longitude of the center of Sidereal Aquarius!!!
12. (Late 2010) The film Black Sands was released – a new documentary about Gonur Depe, Turkmenistan and the deep roots of monotheism. “There is a previously unknown Bronze-Age civilization deep in the cobra-infested Kara Kum (Black Sands) Desert in Turkmenistan. Battling sand-storms and intense isolation, archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi uncovers a city where the dead were disposed through ritual excarnation and astrologer-priests consumed hallucinogenic ritual drinks over 4,000 years ago. Is it the motherland of Zoroastrianism (or Mithrasism) ~ an ancient Indo-Iranian religion that was later to strongly influence Judaism and hence Christianity and Islam.?.” Gonur Depe is just west the Point of Elemental AIR!
13. (13 Jan 2011) The TAPI natural gas pipeline (short for Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India) has finally been ratified and is expected to bring energy security to the entire region. Turkmenistan is said to have the world’s third or fourth largest gas reserves (although “this could be much higher”), and is of course the Point of Elemental AIR of Project AM47. Plans to pipe natural gas from the region are also in the works for Iran, China, Russia and the EU and the US. This could truly be be one of the harbingers of peace and energy security that we have been waiting for!
The leaders of Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India make peace.
16. (14 Jul 2011) Faith met a crossroads in ancient Rome. Christinanity beat-out Mithrasism by an inch, leaving us with the C-grade reality we share today. Christinanity was simple, while Mithrasism required a process. The Mithraic Leontocephaline figure has remained enigmatic. But if you consider it’s origins in the 4 Elements and the 4 Persian “Royal Signs” of the zodiac, it is clear that this lion-headed figure can gracefully represent these: Leo, FIRE (lion head), Scorpio, WATER (serpent coiled – Scorpio was also symbolized as a serpent in Egyptian, Babylonian and Persian myths), Aquarius, AIR (angel body), all standing atop Taurus, EARTH (as a stylized bull’s head/globe/earth). The Leontocephalous is an ancient embodiment of the 4 Elements precessing through the equinoxes and hence, of sidereal astrology itself. Christinanity empowers from without, thereby weakening the spirit of man: The Christinane symbol of the crucifixion is mundane death. Mithrasism encourages from within, thereby strengthening the spirit of man: The Mithraic symbol of the Leontocephaline is magical life.
The Mithraic symbol of the Leontocephaline is magical life.
The Christinane symbol of the crucifixion is mundane death.
17. (14 Feb 2012) Today, the Sun entered sidereal Aquarius (AIR: intellect, innovative communications). In a letter, Iran says it’s ready for nuclear talks. For the love of godz and all existence, let’s not fuck this up mankind, okay.?. The AM47 Point of Elemental AIR is approaching on 29 Feb 2012. What’s going to happen? Something Wonderful… or else.
18. (21 Feb 2012) Today in Afghanistan, deadly violence broke out after U.S. military servicemen disposed of several copies of the Quran by burning them. Afghanistan is just south-east of Turkmenistan. A top Iranian military commander responded by saying “The Muslim world should not accept an apology issued by U.S. President Barack Obama over the burning of Korans in an American base in Afghanistan, and that nothing short of burning the White House can relieve the wound of us.” Speechless. This idiocy by the USA is fucking catastrophic. Unbelievably stupid behavior… I Support Troops Who Break Ranks!!!
19. (22 Feb 2012) The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s IAEA ended its latest mission to Iran after talks on Tehran’s suspected secret atomic weapons research failed, a setback likely to increase the risk of confrontation with the West, not to mention making it nearly impossible for AM47 to complete it’s future mission of global Awareness.
21. (26 Feb 2012) Today in San Francisco I had the good fortune of meeting with Bora Ozkok, an expert on the mythology, shamanism, religion, folklore, culture, language and travel of the region around the AM47 Point of Elemental AIR in Turkmenistan (just north of Iran) and Turkey (Gobekli Tepe). It’s funny that what was shaping up to be the most difficult point of the AM47 journey is now the one that I have the most help with. AM47 was scheduled to be in Turkmenistan on 29 Feb 2012, but sadly the required publicity and subsequent funding for the project was not secured for this years attempt. Yet that this most fortuitous meeting should conspire to occur on 26 Feb 2012, just three days before the target date, is of course further evidence of the Synchronicity and pure Magic at work in the project. AM47 is now another step closer to the reality of a 01 Sep 2012 (or 01 Sep 2013, etc.) launch date. Wild Wishing…
The bullseye’s on the Point of AIR.
22. (28 Feb 2012) Today is the center of the ancient Egyptian/sidereal astrological sign of Aquarius and the AM47 Point of Elemental AIR. Yesterday, an “Era of Happiness” was declared by the president of Turkmenistan’s totalitarian regime!! His slogan “The happy epoch of the mighty state” is a “call for our future achievements and great deeds”. “In Turkmenistan a new era has begun/ All the Earth is lit up by the light dawn/ The glory has enveloped the heart with an aura of greatness/ And in the mighty state a happy time has begun!”
Meanwhile, the Turkmen Prez. enjoys some groovy 3-D.
23. (28 Feb 2012) AIR In Effect: A new round of nuclear negotiations with Iran is likely to be agreed in the next few days… Iran has not yet decided to produce a nuclear weapon, in part, because there are deep-seated disagreements among its leaders about whether it is the right thing to do… Iranians prepare for the most important holiday of the Persian calendar, Nowruz, an ancient Zoroastrian festival of Spring… Can’t the Iranian Zoroastrians mobilize and take back Iran from the Muslims and lead the world in nuclear disarmament?? C’mon now, let’s see some MAGIC!!
An Iranian Zoroastrian FIRE ceremony.
***THE FOLLOWING ENTRIES ARE UNDER IMPROVEMENT & EXPANSION***
25. (09 NOV 2013) Drinking Soma, the potion of immortality at the AM47 Point of AIR! “In the Vedas, the drink, and the plant refer to the same entity. Drinking Soma produces immortality (Amrita, Rigveda 8.48.3). Indra and Agni are portrayed as consuming Soma in copious quantities.” Cheers!
26. (11 DEC 2013) Flying cockroaches originating from Turkmenistan are invading America and ousting the native species by flying, breeding more and faster, heat and cold tolerant!
27. (20 DEC 2013) The new Wikileaks film “Mediastan” offers a rare glimpse into Central Asia – The AM47 Point of Alchemical AIR In “Mediastan,” produced by Julian Assange, Rebecca O’Brien and Lauren Dark, a group of underground journalists test the impact of the leaked documents as they travel through Central Asia in search of local media outlets willing to publish Cablegate files. Their journey follows the ancient Silk Road traversing Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and US-occupied Afghanistan.
36. (14 MAR 2014) Today is the last day of Sidereal Aquarius 2014, and there is more to add here over the past 2 weeks but I need a break now. See you then…

This is the route through Iran to the AM47 Alchemical Point of Elemental AIR in Gonur Tepe, Turkmenistan! Note how the route is almost perfectly in-line with the longitude of the AM47 Point of AIR!! Wow.
AM47 is about beginning to restore the Alchemical Magical Balance of humankind by, for one, re-equating the AIR Element that was exalted by the Zoroastrians and then torn-asunder by the monotheists.
And to all the mundane humans who still refuse to acknowledge AM47, Do enjoy your waking sleep… I’m sure titties and steaks and bands and gossip and egos are much more important than this, Right.?.

The Elders, formed in 2007 (same year as AM47!), is made up of 12 global leaders who try to promote peace.
(27 JAN 2014) Just 4 months ago we were on the verge of war with Iran, aka WW3. Now, after 30 years of frozen relations, the fragile chance for Iran to actually become an ally is finally here. That’s a pretty incredible turnaround and fantastic news for AM47! A crew of 12 global leaders known as The Elders are on their way to Iran!!
AM47 Point of AIR 2014 in Turkmenistan/Iran
Expect a major positive development in humanitarian communications on the Iran Thaw just 1 moon from now, during mid-Sidereal Aquarius/The ALTER MAN 47 Point of Elemental AIR, when 6 out of 10 Planets will be in Sidereal AIR signs, and 3 out of those 6 will be in Sidereal Aquarius! This is a great window of opportunity for unity!!
The ALTER MAN 47 Alchemical Voyage is impossible without peace with Iran as the AM47 ship must dock on the southeast coast of Iran and then the crew must travel north, directly through Iran and into Turkmenistan.

(13 JAN 2014) It looks like the world has finally been tainted by a touch of sanity on Iran’s nuclear program, and that’s great news for the AM47 Alchemical Voyage. Without some kind of peace with Iran, AM47 will be impossible as the AM47 ship will need to dock at the Iranian port of Bandar-e-Abbas and then travel straight up through the center of Iran and into Turkmenistan to the ancient site of Gonur Depe: The birthplace of Zoroastrianism & 5th center of civilization.
The AM47 Point of Alchemical AIR (Mid-Sidereal Aquarius) manifests in Turkmenistan-Iran 1.5 months from now, and hence the AM47 ship is scheduled to arrive in Iran exactly 13.5 months from now. At that future date, the crew of the AM47 ship: The EL MANTRA, will generate, observe, dedicate and send the AIR point of the AM47 Pentaform into Awareness. If our so called “leaders” can hold it together , then The Alchemical Voyage might just have a chance after all.

The circle represents God, the original unity, from which arises the trinity or triangle and then the square, God’s manifestation in the material universe.
“What you are about to read is the groundwork for an evolution in broadcast and feature infotainment. Alter Man is the working title for a visionary media project so original and evocative it could be described as The Amazing Race meets Nova and Myth Busters. In fact, an apt subtitle for the “Reality” segment of Alter Man would be MYTH HUNTERS. As intriguing as this concept is, the projects “pseudo-documentary” & multi-medium elements are even more innovative. Utilizing free-role-play of open scripted scenarios inspired by a true life voyage of discovery, Alter Man promises to produce episodic metafiction with an X-Files meets Jacques Cousteau explosive potential.”

I was considering Burning Man, yet how I would probably never venture out to it’s dusty desert location due to my chronic bronchitis. This project actually grew out of my desire to bring the culture and spectacle of Burning Man into places where I could enjoy it as well.

Four locations in perfect cross-quarter formation around the world are naturally manifesting the characteristics of the 4 Classical Elements of ALCHEMY. The goal of Project ALTER MaN 4 7 (AM47) is to film the journey of an alt-fuel ship that will circumnavigate the globe to connect all four of these points, one every three months, over the course of a year and in so doing raise the spiritual Awareness of mankind (the timing of the voyage is set to the ancient Egyptian/sidereal astrological year). Departing from the Point of FIRE in San Francisco, to the Point of WATER off the coast of Japan, to the Point of AIR in Turkmenistan, to the Point of EARTH in the Azores, and back to the Point of FIRE in San Francisco to complete the circle.
When the Sun aligns with the direct center or “Angel Point” of sidereal Aquarius, the Point of Elemental AIR (PoEA) can be expected to manifest in the vast, barren Kara Kum desert of Turkmenistan (just north of Iran). The next PoEA is on 29 Feb 2012 (and 28 Feb 2013, etc.). The AM47 ship was scheduled to have sailed from the Point of WATER off the coast of Japan and have docked at the Iranian port-city of Bandar-Abbas in the Straight of Hormuz by mid-Feb 2012. The crew of AM47 was then to travel north, overland through central Iran to Turkmenistan and into the Kara Kum desert to arrive at the PoEA at 37.47 N, 64.03 E on 29 Feb 2012 (and 28 Feb 2013, etc.). This point lies just east of the ancient city of Mary and the very ancient site of Gonur Tepe. Gonur Tepe is the recently discovered 5th center of world civilization of the ancient world (side by side with Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China) that was the birthplace of Zoroastrianism (and hence Mithrasism and all monotheism), a religion based on the opposition of good and evil. There, the overland crew of AM47 was to generate, observe, dedicate and send Elemental AIR into Awareness.
The picture above shows difference between the Sidereal (star-based & Babylo-Egyptian)) and Tropical (season-based & Greco-Roman) Astrological Signs. Sidereal (star) reckoning was the basis of all astrology before it became divorced from astronomy thanks in large part to a fractured torch-pass from the Babylo-Egyptians to the Greco-Romans (thankfully with some Arabic sanity in between). The history of astrology is the history of civilization itself! We’ve been in a “Dark Age” (essentially the entire Age of Pisces) since the fall of the Babylonian and Egyptian empires.
A more detailed version of the differences between the Zodiaks.
It’s shocking to me that humankind hasn’t demanded the total excavation of the magnificent astro-archaeological find at Gobekli Tepe, Turkey. Clearly a highly advanced “international” agreement of the stars above… 12,000 years ago! Mind blowing. I think they buried it on purpose as a Time Capsule to be found in the future… Now. (BTW, the Gobekli Tepe site is just west and on the EXACT latitude of the AM47 Point of Elemental AIR! When the going get’s weird, the weird start hiring!!)
The 12,000 year old astro-archaeological complex recently discovered at Gobekli Tepe. Turkey. Quickly! Before the Monotheists pulverize it!!
When working with a system as comprehensive as Astrology, it is easy to reach confounded ends. For instance, ‘I wonder if Eric is a hot-head because his Sun is in Aries or because he’s got Mars on his MC?’ There is no way to answer this astrologically until you run his chart. The ultimate question is, how can 2 differing systems (Tropical & Sidereal) both be right? They can’t. It’s one or the other. There is no fuzzy thinking here. Astrology is far to important to be mistaken. For instance, the star Antares is the Heart of the Scorpion. This is an unalterable factual agreement from antiquity. If Mercury was conjunct Antares (Scorpio, Fixed WATER) when I was born, how on earth can I expect to interpret it accurately if I think that it is in Tropical Sagittarius (Mutable FIRE) as 97% of Western Astrologers will tell me so.?.
Mercury conjunct Antares in SIDEREAL SCORPIO.
To put it bluntly, Sidereal Astrology is scientific, tropical astrology is arbitrary. Luckily, I got seriously interested in astrology @ 18 years ago when there was ample info available about ALL the known Astrologys. As I had nothing invested in any of them (apart from being told for years from flaky people that I was a “Sag”), I was discerning enough to measure which one was both historically and empirically The MOST accurate: Sidereal Astrology. Sure, things that folks believe in collectively have great power. But when you can align those “beliefs” with what’s actually going on, then you have just MAXimized your power. 97% of Western Astrologers and Magicians use Tropical Astrology. Look at the world, do you see any spiritual mechanics functioning properly in this mess? I don’t. But I aim to walk this earth and fix it.
The Sun entered Sidereal Aquarius with a BANG. On the first day of sidereal Aquarius, and DIRECTLY ON the longitude of the AM47 Point of Elemental AIR,
The trajectory of the Russian Meteor!!!
the Chelyabinsk Meteor shifted the focus from earth to sky, from below to above, in one long moment, and gave humankind a Celestial Symbol under which to organize away from the destruction of each other and toward the creation of a Global System of Defense for the Deflection of Asteroids.
To complete the ALTER MAN 47 circumnavigation of the globe, the AM47 crew must travel directly up & overland through central Iran and cross the border into Turkmenistan to reach Gonur Depe and the AM47 Point of AIR. This portion of the journey is scheduled to take place NEXT YEAR at the current time of THIS post, in late Feb-early Mar 2014! The recent Nuke Talks regarding Iran’s nuclear program saw the FIRST POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT in the entire 20 year nuclear impasse DIRECTLY AT THE ANGEL POINT/MID-SIDEREAL AQUARIUS and Point of Elemental AIR of AM47!!! Unless this issue is resolved, AM47 will be impossible. It’s an incredibly brilliant influence of celestial timing & Synchronicity… A glimmer of hope against WWIII sparked the kind of shine that is expected during Sidereal Aquarius.
The Pope’s unprecedented resignation hit at the Mid/Angel Point of Sidereal Aquarius, too. This resignation of a major “spiritual” leader effecting millions of “souls” is highly indicative of the revolutionary/shocking humanitarian influence of Sidereal Aquarius and Uranus/Prometheus. The Pope resigned at the middle of Sidereal Aquarius and a successor has yet to be named. I hope that the psycho-cosmic force of this most wonderful celestial influence will dismay the Catholic Church to the point of utter collapse… A highly Aquarian development, indeed!!!
Uncanny.
Here is the Sidereal Chart at the time of the Chelyabinsk Meteor. The meteor literally hit right as the Sun entered Sidereal Aquarius! AND directly along the longitude of the AM47 Point of Elemental AIR!!! 7 0f the 14 major astrological/nomical planets and points are in the AIR element. Rather striking, YES.?.
Lots of activity focused on Sidereal Aquarius and the AIR signs in general.
The most recent episode of the adult cartoon Archer , “Once Bitten” (21 Feb 2013), helped provide a little comic-relief with their current episode which just so happens to take place in Turkmenistan, with Sterling Archer in heavy hallucination and alternate reality mode!
Archer get’s bit on the hine by a Caspian Cobra in Turkmenistan and hallucinates Big Time!
There are still 13 days left in Sidereal Aquarius and I expect more drift toward the visionary and the humanitarian. Visionary and revolutionary, unexpected societal shifts are now happening in spades, and will continue to do so! From the Russian Meteor, to the Iranian Nuke Talks, to the unprecedented and shocking resignation of the catholic pope, to Bradley Manning’s revelations of the criminality of the US Military, to the encouraging visit of Dennis Rodman to connect with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, to the unprecedented relinquish of media control by The president of Turkmenistan… ALL OF THESE EVENTS are on AM47 Point of Elemental AIR latitudinal and/or longitudinal activation points and ALL are highly indicative of the AIR element!!!
I’ll bet he’s a Sidereal Aquarian!!
The leaders of these “dangerous” nations must feel INCLUDED before any progress can be had. Part of AM47’s mission is to include all nations around the globe, Iran and Turkmenistan being the most daunting. I’ll be contacting the Iranian embassy next week to begin the process of permission to travel straight-up through their country this time next year.
The president of Turkmenistan just relinquished control of the state media. (My Dude, I want that robe!)
A Babylonian King circa @ the time of King Nabonassar, 747-734 BCE.
The history of astrology/nomy is the history of civilization itself! Hipparchus (Greek, @ 147 BCE.) used the precise astronomical records of Babylonia and adapted them to use in Greek systems; His extensive use of Babylonian astronomical observations extended back to 747 BCE., the 1st regnal year of Nabonassar, King of Babylonia (747-734 BCE.)!! So, apparently, our current history of the development of sidereal astrology/civilization began in 747 BCE. under the reign of King Nabonassar!!! The history of astrology and the #47 are powerful and strange… Brilliant. Presidents Preside, Kings RULE. dEVolve.
The Fool to the 4 Corners of the Earth via the 7 Seas!
This is the past flat month of my webpage in Sidereal Capricorn (Earth). Notice the spike on 15 FEB 2013 as we entered Sidereal Aquarius (AIR)! Don’t you feel more visionary and hopeful right now?!? We are now under the futuristic influence of Sidereal Aquarius! Enjoy the next 30 days of space and pursue your idealistic goals!!
And we shall stride across this earth/ Dealing the frenzy of it’s broken sky/ And we shall land within this place/ Healing the destiny of it’s open eye.
The Russian Meteor Chart. The Sun had just entered sidereal Aquarius and the meteor struck at dawn at this location no less! And directly in line with the AM47 Point of AIR!! Astounding!!! Look at the planetary grouping @ Aquarius… A definite portent to take up from the skies!
This meteor cut the atmosphere in half directly along the longitude of A Cosmically Superimposed Alchemical Point I’d nailed 5 years ago: The AM47 Point of Elemental AIR!!!!
The Sidereal Age of Aquarius is still 360 years in the future and I’ve been writing about that a lot lately. If humanity doesn’t heed these portents and get passionate about ALTERING ITSELF, humanity dies. PERIOD! So let’s see this event put AM47 on the map and get to the business of changing this world!!!
I’m covering a piece on the unprecedented mass Dolphin migration currently going on in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, CA, and all Google gives me under a “dolphin” search is goddamnmotherfuckingshitstainedbitchbastard American Football!!!… I’m about to vomit a rib. It’s things like this that make me think that the bottom corner of the last page of an ancient litanal tome chronicling mankind’s obstentious relicing reek couldn’t even begin to do justice to the LEVEL of utter despise that I hold for most of humankind on this day! REEK!!!!!!
AaUuGgHh!!… What’s notable is that this mass-migration of 100,000 Dolphins south is Directly along the longitude of the AM47 Point of Elemental FIRE! This in conjunction of the Russian Meteor that just blazed down the longitude of the AM47 Point of Elemental AIR may well be significant beyond this authors rattled mystical sensitivity. But rest assured that I’ll be following this whale-tale to be sure.

Prelude “shot across the bow” to Asteroid DA14.
The Sidereal Age of Aquarius is still 360 years in the future and I’ve been writing about that a lot lately. If humanity doesn’t heed these portents and get passionate about ALTERING ITSELF, humanity dies. So let’s see Asteroid DA14 put AM47 on the map and change this world.
The Alteration of Diet and Time are The Keys to the Survival of Humankind.
Diet is simple: refuse to support anything that isn’t organic and (mostly) vegetarian.
Time is complex. Ancient Babylo-Egyptian astrology was essentially lost and dormant from 75 ce until 1881 ce when a German-Catholic Priest was assigned to decipher some ancient carvings. Father Epping published “Astronomy aus Babylon” in 1889 which lead to the rediscovery of the Babylo-Egyptian Sidereal Zodiak: True Astrology.
99% of astrologers today use the False Greco-Roman zodiac, and have been for the past 2,000 years: essentially the entire Age of Pisces, with still another 360 years to go. Humankind will not see through this massive Dark Age to the Age of Aquarius if it doesn’t Alter Diet & Time.
Once Again, the global latitude of the ALTER MAN 47 Magical Circumnavigation Ritual goes right through the border of N & S Korea, as well as virtually EVERY OTHER major power/trouble center of humankind around the globe: Beijing, Kashmir, Islamabad, Kabul, Tehran, Armenia, Baghdad, Damascus, Ankara, Athens, Tunisia (Sparkplace of the Arab Spring), New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco (The Once and Future Capitol of CounterCulture), Tokyo, and Seoul/P’Yongyang North Korea.
How much longer can humankind afford to ignore this Magical Working called ‘ALTER MAN 47: The Alchemical Voyage’?? <¿Alter or Oblivion?>
The USA and Israel seek to Fist-Fuck Force False Prophecy by destabilizing Syria and then on-into Iran for the ARMAGHASM. <US and Israel out of Mid East… NOW!!>
Why is violent imposition always the default force when confronting these global problems? Is the world’s imagination really so deadened as to consider no other way? <AM47>
In 1947, Israel was “created” as a “return” of those of Semitic ethnicity to their “ancient homeland” after **1,309 YEARS**!
The creation of Israel was designed to essentially reignite the conflict between Judaism/Christianity vs Islam.
The Jewish leaders of the day engineered the sympathy of the United States to achieve this goal of the Jewish state called Israel.
One likes to think that as “humans” “evolve” that they realize that there is no turning back, ESPECIALLY after a thousand years.
After a certain point, too much time has passed and we simply cannot open the old wounds of our long dead ancestors and must MOVE THE FUCK ON.
The Jewish/Arab Conflict is like South America rising to conquer North America and restoring the USA to the Native Americans… in 1,000 years! (Not a bad idea, mind you).
By reigniting these old wounds in the modern era, the USA/Israel are literally HOLDING A GUN TO THE WORLD’S HEAD.
This is a level of Criminal Insanity and self-centered negligence punishable by OBLIVION!!!!!
What’s the answer? The answer is the Ultimate Return to the birthplace of all monotheism at Gonur Depe in Turkmenistan; The ALTER MAN 47 Point of Elemental AIR, and to perform a powerful Magic Ritual there, unprecedented in recorded history.
So much needless suffering and confusion from being divorced of the earth and sky. What are we without the apprehension of the Alchemical Waves that permeate all things? For lack of better words we use Fire, Water, Air, Earth (each expressed in a trifold quality) & AEthyr as the *13* intra-ex elements which our bodily Awareness interfaces with *reality*. Very rarely souls come along that recognize this eternal pattern as manifest in the physical world. This usually occurs at a time ov great change within the Dreamer’s world, and serves as a hyper-beacon reminder indicative of the greater occult reality that shapes the course of the future. AM47 is just such a thing and I am a Dreamer. You are a Dreamer too with a fierce imagination & an empty heart that desperately needs filling.
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.
