Pete Hulme,
This morning after writing to the Bahai publishers I found your website, and would love to connect. This spring, World Scientific will publish “The Mereon Matrix: Everything Connected through (K)nothing,”, 1,000 pages with 400 images, 36 animations / videos, and 750,000 words that explore the dynamic Pattern —the simplest known knot—showing how it connects natural, living systems, and non-living, life-like systems, the social relationships we build.
http://www.mereon.org
For the first time, all the fundamental polyhedra are united, not once, but three times and sequentially. Universal, this matrix has been modelled and animated, and when the frequencies derived from the mathematics were used to resonate a small visualising cell, the complexity and the simplicity of this matrix are observed in water as well.
http://www.mereon.org/silent-resonance-1/
The Mereon Matrix is a profound demonstration of Unity through Diversity, a system where Diversity is revealed to be the only product of a sustainable system, one that is free to transform and evolve over time. The progressive nature of this system shows us how we can and must rebuild our lives inside out, and only then can we co-create healthy, joyous and sustainable relationships and a civilisation that works for all.
The education system I designed using this matrix, http://www.BELONGING.life, apologies as it is undergoing a renovation at this moment, has one message; Everyone matters. Everyone counts. This of course resonates with your blog, ‘Everybody means something’.
Next, there is a somewhat mysterious connection with my work and the Bahá’í faith. Twenty years ago I was speaking in Boulder, Colorado, and was invited to have dinner with a friend of friends. To my surprise, two people met me for dinner that night. A young man —whose name I cannot recall— told me he wanted to ask my forgiveness as he had done something without asking my permission. He then showed me pictures of a spectacular table he’d been commissioned to build. Carved on the surface was a perspective of this Pattern. He shared that this table sits in an important room at the gloriously beautiful Bahá’í center in Haifa, and when I was in Israel several months later I visited, but was, of course, unable to see this work of art.
Dr. Hume, as a scientist I do not believe in coincidence, but rather have a clear understanding of spatial-temporal co-incidents. And while I choose not to participate in any organised religion, as too many seek to separate when the word itself means to ‘reconnect’, I am profoundly spiritual and feel at home in any space where I am free to go inward to contemplate the gift of life, and the opportunity to live my Purpose on purpose, making what is meaningful measurable. Should you choose to look any deeper into what I am up to, it will not take you long to realise the spiritual nature of this work, given that it was ‘recovered’ following a radically life changing event; 3 near death experiences. Every scientist who has seen this matrix expresses how its wholeness feels nothing short of ‘miraculous’. It is a template that provides us with what one called the logic of love, a science of spirit that redefines spirituality.
Thank you for your work in helping people patch and pave their life path with love.
In grace and with gratitude,
Lynnclaire Dennis

Many thanks for sharing these deep reflections. As soon as I am back at my desk with some time to spare I will explore further. Warm regards, Pete.

Thank you Pete. And how interesting to note that while I live in Marbella, Spain, our nonprofit is based in Herefordshire, Hay-on-Wye!

I’ll try not to add that to my list of evidence in favour of synchronicity!

Dear Lynnclaire, I have at last found some time to dig more deeply into your model. I started with the links you gave me (the patterns formed by the water drop were stunning), and then shifted to an article at the following link which has even more links: http://www.near-death.com/science/articles/science-of-life-from-an-nde.html. I judge the value of what I find as high when both my mind and my heart respond strongly to what I find. That has been the case so far with these ideas, diagrams and videos – though I’m a long way yet from really grasping anything remotely close to their full significance. All I am sure of so far is that I resonate to them. Just thought I’d let you know. I’ll be sharing the article at the link with some close friends who share my interests – or should I say obsessions. It may be some time before I report back further. With deep gratitude for alerting me, Pete

Thank you Pete! My friend Dr. Hami Erdemli here in Marbella is the amazing soul who gave me ‘cookie crumbs’ that led to you! He will be on your blog later tonight! And yes, the cymatic experiments are astonishing, more so when you realise the blue sphere of light in the centre is plasma —acknowledged as such by NASA scientists…. inaudible sound birthing Light. There is a stunning, never before seen image that will be in our new book. If you’d like to communicate via email, I’d love to send it via email. Let me know. I’m easily reached at L.Dennis@mereon.org. Have a wonderful evening, as we both continue with our obsessions! I’ve thought of you often today while working on my upcoming book for kids, “The Joy of Why’ning”, out this Spring. Thank you for your resonance and receptivity! Lynnclaire. P.S. I only saw the connection with Penny Sartori this afternoon! More small world, synchronous ‘stuff’!

Just tried to reply twice as below. It bounced. Not sure why!
My first attempt to send came back undeliverable – here is attempt two!
Thanks, Lynnclaire.
Happy to email.
I’d love to see the image.
BTW as the comment was approved your email is visible. Would you prefer I delete it?
Warm regards
Pete
