In 1993 he discov- ered what he calls "the core Arkhom geome- try of the Gaia Matrix" in western Massachusetts (corresponding with the cen- tre of the North American tectonic plate), and extrapolated the geometry to take in all that region and beyond. In Gaia Matrix, Champoux defines Arkhom as a geometry that comprises bio- logical elements and embraces human cul- tural and geographic parameters. But he also sees these landscape geometries as res- onating on a grander scale, inviting humani- ty through their harmonic resonance to embark on a new renaissance in religion, science, art and politics. This concept may not be easily grasped but it is intriguing, as he shows that the locations of key events in pre/post-Columbian history have surprising relationships with the geometries he delin- eates; indeed, such concepts were quite familiar to America's Masonic forefathers and Sinclair's Templar Knights who preced- ed them hundreds of years before. The "geomantic corridors" and chakra points Champoux identifies through much of the eastern North American continent are inspiration for other ley hunters and dowsers who are also attempting to make sense of the geometric overlay of their land—a matrix that is fundamental to all life, nay, Gaia her- self. With contributions from friends including Dr Bethe Hagens (of "Celestial Basket" fame), this book is food for thought, exploration and expansion. lhe pace of technological advance is so rapid that it leaves our ethical and social systems, not to mention the average person, struggling to catch up. The problem is amplified when the technologies developed by the military-industrial complex are kept secret under national security laws. Fellow Alaska-based activists Dr Nick Begich and Jim Roderick, authors of Earth Rising, have presented papers to the European Parliament, resulting in the EP calling on the US to reveal its true intentions for the HAARP ionospheric installation (which it hasn't, as yet), but their example shows that like-minded, well-informed, determined individuals can make a differ- ence in getting ethics put on the agenda— and will need to, if we're going to have any personal freedom in the future. The array of high-tech weaponry that is in existence—and which, because it exists (yet is publicly denied or downplayed), is being used against unsuspecting populations and environments—is mind-boggling: weapons employing lasers, electromagnetic pulses, microwaves and acoustics, psychotronics to effect mind/behaviour control, and ionos- pheric beams to alter the weather.
