Namaskar – The central position is occupied by the sacred Aum – emanating from this are aspects to the 12 Rashis. Then the constellations are as they appeared in relation to the Vernal Equinox (VE) at the time of the formulation of the Vedas with Krittika occupying the VE and the 108 Padas followed by the Meshadi version of Nakshatras where Ashwini occupies the VE. Outward from this are the corresponding 27 Nakshatra Deities. The outermost circle contains the Nava Grahas. As both starting points for alignment with the VE are now superseded by the reality of the mystery of time, Uttara Bhadrapada now occupies the VE.
The great mystery of the Divine Science of Light is overlooked by both Lord Vishnu (who looks somewhat suspiciously like a Siberian shaman) as well as Lord Ganesha. In the bottom right is the Dendra Zodiac from Egypt (circa 2500 BC). Bottom left is Lord Hanuman who should serve as a perfect example to all of us as one possible way to serve the Supreme Lord.
This is an astrological mandala – not an Astrolywood UFO. If it were a creation of Astrolywood, there would no doubt be a couple of Zodiac Gods watching over the 26,000 round from the position of the VE, partaking of the delights of Soma. After many centuries of viewing the same Nakshatra, we hear “Man, I am so looking forward to seeing my loving friend Lord Pushan again,” then “Woman, will I ever be ecstatic to see the tail end of that Goddess Niritti.” Uh oh, now those Astrolywood Gods are beginning to chant. “More Bhakti, more Bahkti, more Soma, less Youtube, More Bahkti”.
All Glorious to the Supreme Lord! Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
(Mayan Zodiac Totem Animals)
82" x 92" (208 x 234cm) / Mixed Media on Canvas (Colour pencil, pen and ink)
The sacred 13 moon calendar has been in use for over 5000 years on this planet and followed by such legendary cultures as the Incan, Druids, Essene, Mayan, Polynesian and Egyptian.
This form of the 13 moon calendar is based on the Dreamspell calendar and uses as its totems the animals from the Mayan Zodiac. The essence of each of these spirits most closely resonates with the theme and feel of each of the 13 moons we all pass through each year on this planet as we journey around our Sun.

After 37 years of surfing the planets oceans and thousands of increasingly intimate contacts with the Sirians (Dolphins) I continue to be amazed by, in awe of, and opened to a deep reverence for these original and awesome soul surfers.
For me they are the teachers of love, joy, play fullness, curiosity, group consciousness, the sacredness of life, courage, flow and the pure beauty and mystery of the divine creation.
What unfolded during the first contact with these beings at South Golden Beach (near Byron Bay) upon completion of this painting is beyond anything I could put into words and would stretch most people's credibility and faith beyond anything they could presently conceive of.
To attempt to convey to you this experience would only detract from the sacredness which occurred within that infinite and eternal time frame.
The Jewelled Flower of Convergence(Blossoms Within your Heart of Light) a Galactic View of Planet Earth's Religions

"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All of these aspirations are directed toward enobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom." Albert Einstein
The Vision for this Painting came into my Consciousness during my 4th journey to the sacred island of Bali (which many claim to be the Heart Chakra of Planet Earth) in1977. This was the year of the Blue Planetary Storm in The Dreamspell Calendar. As the tone of the year was 10 (planetary) it gave the creative power to perfect manifestation and had the action of producing. As the seal of the year is the basis of Life Destiny, with the Power of the Solar Tribe, that year was Cauac (Blue Storm). Blue Storm Catalyzes and emphasizes Self Generation. With the passing of time How True all of this has proven to be for me personally. As an instrument of God the Prophetic work of the Visionary Jose Arguelles never ceases to amaze me.
96 x 72" (244 x 183cm) / Colour pencil on Canvas
Based on the Dreamspell Calendar as outlined by Jose Arguelles in "The Mayan Factor". This painting is a fusion of science, mythology and art.
The original idea was to create a mandala that reflected god's consciousness as mirrored in the heavens for the period 2000-2012. (Terrance McKenna called 2012 the "transcendental object at the end of time" and also "the strange attractor" because we are being drawn inexorably to this point in time.)
Consequently each of the colours were specifically chosen to symbolise signs of the zodiac and in fact it is a precise planetary ephemeris for the above mentioned period. One is able to read the location of any planet in any sign for this period. Consequently an enormous amount of time was required to calculate and position the central colours. On top of this I overlaid the Dreamspell Calendar entailing the Tzolkin, Haab, Galactic Seasons, Castles and 13 Moon Calendar.
The View of the 13 Moon Goddess from Western Man's Cave Window
58 x 92" (147 x 234cm) / Mixed Media on Canvas (Oils, Pen and Ink)
This painting was inspired by the need for the European races, who think of themselves as “modern man”, to come to the realization that in terms of their calendar they are in fact living in a cave. They blindly follow the Gregorian calendar, revised in the medieval times from the Julian calendar which originated in Rome, and was used by the conquering Romans in their newly acquired lands to subjugate and alienate the Tribal Peoples following Moon based calendars.

As part of my spiritual search I have made a number of extended trips to the Himalayas. During a year-long journey in 1980 I immersed myself in the sacred spiritual tradition of the pilgrimage. One of the most revered of pilgrimage sites in India is the sacred cave, Amarnath reached after a moderately long walk (70 miles return) through the mountains of Kashmir.
This painting is a reflection of my experiences as I undertook that journey. This walk passes through a land immersed in Islamic culture, as the Kashmiris are Muslim. As a consequence I have used as the etheric web of the painting in the form of the white dots a traditional Islamic pattern.
