THE HARMONIC His latest book, The Cosmic Game, is a CONQUEST OF summary of his philosophical and spiritual insights from his journeys into the "unchar- tered frontiers of the human psyche". With humility he admits that his insights were enriched by many thinkers, visionaries and spiritual teachers over the years—including David Bohm, Joseph Campbell, Michael Harner, Ram Dass, Rupert Sheldrake and Ken Wilber. He notes that the profound sense of cosmic unification, reported by many of his patients and experienced direct- ly himself (originally via an LSD experi- ment in 1956), has much in common with ancient mystical and shamanic traditions. Dr Grof reiterates that all life, all con- sciousness, desires to be reunited with its Creative Source, but the prevailing material- istic paradigm makes it difficult for this desire to be creatively expressed and inte- grated, especially in the Western world.

To recap, New Zealander Bruce Cathie is the (now retired) airline captain who iden- tified a world electromagnetic grid, based on plotting UFO sightings on a map, and devel- oped a system of harmonic mathematics to describe it. He has written many seminal books, including Harmonic 33 and The Bridge to Infinity, and has described how the speed of light is not constant at every point on the Earth's surface. The new material in this edition covers the link between atomic tests and volcanic activ- ity—that both are influenced by the geomet- ric relationships of the Earth and the Sun at any given time, and directly associated with the electromagnetic and unified fields inher- ent in the structure of the planet. To back up his argument, Cathie has calculated the geo- metric/harmonic relationships linking the French nuclear test at Mururoa Atoll on 5 THE HARMONIC CONQUEST OF 74 © NEXUS DECEMBER 1998 - JANUARY 1999
