My work in the scientific domains of mathematics, physics, astrobiology, and social science had a surprising genesis; a Near Death Experience in 1997. In 1996, Dr. Kenneth Ring, then professor of psychology at University of Connecticut and leading investigator into this phenomenon, wrote, "This Pattern may change your life. It may change the world."

Investigators today express that my experience is unique in the annals of NDEs as I didn't come back with dogmatic assertions, messages from God, or 'new news' about heaven or hell. Instead, I was able to remember and accurately draw the complex structure that I heard while clinically dead. It wasn't an everyday sound that this system of embedded geospheres was 'singing'. It was a universal 'song' that moved in a way that wove a single strand of light that I called 'The Pattern". This experience instantly shattered 'laws' I'd been taught were 'true'; rules my teachers and preachers, including my Father, said were 'The Truth'. As connections were found and inner and interconnections were made, this Pattern of light began to sever the heavy ropes others had long used to bind my body. The noose religion had placed around my heart was lifted as the shackles of assumption that gagged my intellect were released. So too, the manacles that had kept my spirit hostage since childhood fell away. Determination led to my making a full on effort to defy the doctors prognosis and reclaim my health. After recovering from the serious consequences of a hypoxic journey over the Austrian Alps the next task was to 'self-form' my world and reform my life. This meant reclaiming authenticity and breaking every rule I'd sworn allegiance to, realising that they kept me enslaved, my focus on meeting or exceeding others expectations.

Having escaped three decades of religious indoctrination, it was essential to cautiously but respectfully avoid all things 'New Age' seeing so much of it as 'reconstituted religion' that had been established by other fugitives from organised religion. The next step, unexpected by everyone who knew me, was deep into silence; two years spent in a monastic retreat. This catalysed an investigation into philosophy, considering forms and symbols. From there I headed into the lofty regions of science in a quest to link meaning with logic. Finding curious open-minded investigators in mathematics, geometry, and physics, my promise was to quit the moment they proved any aspect of the system I delineated was incorrect.

The Pattern, a polarised, geospherical expression of the Trefoil knot, the simplest form of connection, was one that mathematicians and knot theorists had never encountered. With no background in art, music, mathematics or any other science, my ability to accurately draw the complex resonant harmonics was and remains, inexplicable. More than twenty years later, every single detail I've retrieved has proven accurate demonstrating that the Pattern brought back from my adventures into death is knowledge that comes from someplace other than from the realm of wallpaper. This cosmic blueprint reveals fundamental links between human conscience and universal consciousness. It demonstrates why and how diversity is absolutely essential to unity. Furthermore, it shows how equality/multiplicity is the only product of accord.

Three NDEs are the story behind the complex scientific knowledge that was published by the world renowned academic/scientific publisher Elsevier in 2013: "The Mereon Matrix: Unity, Perspective and Paradox". Frankly, this 600-page book, a quarter of a million words, 1500 illustrations, and 30 animations describe, the snowflake on the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Even more significantly, there is now observable evidence that you can watch to see how a particular frequency generates the precise Pattern in both its simplicity and its complexity.

The Mereon Matrix is a game changer; not just for scientists and positive change agents in social sciences, but for science itself. Mathematically verified, this knowledge requires a serious examination of what we think we know about death and dying. More importantly, it begs that we rethink our assumptions about the human brain, life, relationships, living and the quality of life.

My desire is that as you cross the threshold of these pages, attend a workshop, a webinar or a course, or gaze through the universal windows of art, that you'll join me on the Path. Through revisioning our lives, sometimes with every breath, we can begin to walk and work side-by-side as we bring a Dream to Life in real-time.
