Space Travel for all Free Peoples

As a writer and symbologist -- and as a person who has worked in high tech for my entire adult life -- one of my primary commitments is to help sponsor and promote the construction and launch of the world's first privately funded space vehicle that is capable of true orbital space flight. Interorbital Systems of Mojave, California is presently finishing construction on the Sea Star TSAAHTO space demonstrator as seen above.

I became the first official sponsor of Interorbital System's Sea Star because I believe in the mission of the company to open up space travel to the common person. Except for Interorbital's Sea Star, the big governments of the world own the rest of the orbital rocket ships and spacecraft. Of course, there are a few private companies that can get small rockets just to the edge of space in suborbital flights and then glide back down to Earth, perhaps like a shuttlecock. But these glider rides are simply an expensive amusement that promise only a few minutes of weightlessness at best. These up-and-down hops are not true orbital space flights, i.e., capable of going into low Earth orbit, to the Moon, and beyond. Interorbital Systems sees suborbital space flight as a dead end. IOS’ mission is strictly orbital and interplanetary in nature. I find this far more compelling than any glider ride could ever be. I am proud to be able to display TechnoMysticism's majestic signature symbol, the regal Purple King onboard the Sea Star TSAAHTO space demonstrator vehicle:

Rod and Randa Milliron, the owners of Interorbital Systems, are space pioneers who want to make privately-funded space travel a reality for humanity. Rod and Randa are personal friends and I have deep and abiding respect for their work and integrity. I share this respect with so many other people who are committed to the IOS vision in various ways. I am also more than a sponsor, for I am a project volunteer. As a 20+ year technical lighting professional, I am designing the lighting system for the Neptune manned capsule.

At this writing, the German philanthropic group VisionOne is raising funds to help make the Sea Star Microsatellite Launch Program happen. The Sea Star launch is phase one of a Lunar photographic mission. The purpose of the Lunar mission is to investigate anomalies in the NASA Clementine Lunar Mission photographs.

In the same way that Interorbital Systems wants to open up space to all people, TechnoMysticism seeks to open up the Higher Evolutionary Realities latent in the human psyche to people. That which is Ultimate can be accessed, it does not not belong to religion any more than space belongs to the governments of the world. IOS is working to make space travel a reality for anyone. I certainly look forward to reaching the Moon in my own lifetime aboard an IOS space vehicle.

The IOS rocket ship -- and its larger planned series of manned space vehicles, is a necessary next step the Technological evolution of Humanity. The future space vehicles planned by Interorbital Systems embody massive implications for Human Consciousness in that they will allow private citizens to travel into space. Because space travel is one of the ultimate Mystical Experiences, I consider that the mission of Interorbital Systems is TechnoMystic in nature. On this basis, I am creating a Special Edition of my new book to help fund the work of Interorbital Systems. Here is the front and back cover of the IOS Special Edition. This edition will be available in late 2008:

My latest book is entitled, TechnoMysticism: A New Reality for a New World. You can see the new website at TechnoMysticism.com. TechnoMysticism is the fusion of human technology and mysticism into a powerful new approach to life. TechnoMysticism transcends religion as I discuss in my new book and will begin to discuss in a new blog that will replace this blog.

Updates:

1. The Origin of the Universe and the Masonic Pyramid has been revised to include fifteen new symbols to expand my symbolic conception of The Disunification of Energy and Awareness (DX). The DX is the cosmological alternative I offer to Biblical Creationism and a materialistic Big Bang. I use words and symbols to describe the event because words alone are not adequate.

An image, a picture, a visual referent can be far more powerful than words because we see before we think. Zen is the art of looking. To look without adding mind is the essence of being in the present moment. A symbol is Zen-like in that it must be viewed and cannot be read. A symbol may communicate its true essence if a viewer looks at it without adding mind. Alternately, the viewer needs a teacher to decipher the symbol. I intuited the true essence of the Masonic Pyramid and have communicated it in The Origin of the Universe and the Masonic Pyramid by the use of symbols and words.

My book is complex. However, it is also rewarding. If you like an intellectual and spiritual challenge, you will like my book.

2. masonicpyramid.com is my latest domain acquisition. It is a mirror of jeffreyaugustine.com

3. My earlier book Pyschic Architecture is being retooled. If you want a copy, I can make it available on lulu.com.

The debate between Creation and Evolution is like the trench warfare of WWI. Both sides are dug in for the duration, they gain a few feet only to give up their gains, and neither side will ever see any other possibility except that they are right and everyone else is wrong. I created a cartoon for this:

One of my latest graphics: The Masonic Pyramid imposed over a solar eclipse. Copyright 2006, Jeffrey Augustine:

The following are the opening paragraphs of The Origin of the Universe and the Masonic Pyramid and are copyrighted 2005 by Jeffrey Augustine.

From it’s beginning, the Universe has been turning simple things into complex things. The human body, for example, is a highly complex structure made largely from water. To water is added carbon, calcium, and small amounts of other trace elements. All of these simple things summate to DNA, that wondrously complex encasement of genetic information. The DNA in a single human cell can be stretched out to a distance of about 6.5 feet. An entire human body contains about fifteen billion miles of DNA in its one hundred trillion cells, making it a data rich platform that has allowed humans to become the dominant species on earth.

Just as the Universe has turned water and trace elements into human beings, human have also changed simple materials into complex structures such as computer chips. Computer chips are made from an extremely pure form of the element silicon. Computer semiconductors begin life as silicon wafers that are grown on "seeds" in clean rooms. Wafers are grown under highly controlled conditions in order to achieve precise crystalline structures and avoid any contaminants. Part of the technique of making wafers into semiconductors requires introducing impurities into the wafers by a process called "doping." Because chips can turn electricity into intelligent sequences of 0’s and l’s, they have made possible the world of digital computing and digital communications.

Humans have created complex digital computers and the internet based upon simple silicon and electricity in the same way that the Universe synthesized humans from water, calcium, and other basic elements. Humans are one of the myriads of complex patterns that arise from the Universe. And because we also refine raw materials into complex forms, we ourselves follow the pattern of the Universe. One of humanity’s apparent purposes is to extend and improve the universal pattern of changing simplicity into complexity. Yet how can this be? How can such an extraordinarily complex physical structure as the human body with its magnificent brain be made mostly of simple things such as water, carbon, and calcium? And how can computers be made from silicon, and element that is, for all intents and purposes, is nothing more than sand? How does simplicity synthesize or transform itself into complexity? To ask that question is to ask how our Universe began, and that is the main question of my book.
