Allen ("PlayaPhi") and Holisys - "The Secret Is Terrain"

"Terrain is all" is a statement you may have heard said before. It is both little understood and historically controversial.  Why?  Because a lot of money is made keeping this awareness hidden from your view.  Learn how to apply this hidden Gnostic truth - from growing food to living your life in perfect harmony. See how the elements of terrain, such as Sacred Geometry, the "Feng Shui" of time and place, and our collective consciousness effects everything - and most importantly, what you can do about it!  Prepare to have your world view widely expanded as your tourguide, PlayaPhi, weaves a tale of the seen and unseen in our world - from Earth's landscapes to our local soil, our bodies and our communities alike, the application of scientific fields such as cymatics, Emoto's work on water, and how many other dots connect up.

The Holographic Living Model featuring Matt Atwood and David Fulton of Entheon Village

The Holographic Living Model is an information-intensive, multi-dimensional, blueprint of life energy that reminds us, or awakens us, to the realization that:

• Everything in creation is energy vibrating at different frequencies, from the pure ethereal light of our souls to the material density of our physical bodies.
• All expressions of life, from microcosm to macrocosm, including us, are holographic in nature (holo, whole; graphic, made visible).
Everything is multi-dimensional, can be viewed from many angles, and contains the blueprint for the whole within each of its parts. The tiny acorn is encoded with the ability to become a magnificent oak, and a tiny piece of cell tissue contains the blueprint for the creation of a whole human being.
• Life is an elegantly ordered energetic tapestry of interwoven, interrelated, inseparable energy elements.
•The whole of existence is a dynamic, inherently ordered continuum that is simultaneously the structure of our consciousness and the reflection of it.
• The cosmos, from the Greek word kosmos, is order operating as both structure and process.  

 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.      

Brad Templeton of the Electronic Frontier Foundation - "Protecting the American Dream"

Thanks to contests run by the U.S. military, computer-driven cars that can move on ordinary city streets are closer to reality Brad Templeton, who is chairman of the cyberspace civil rights organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation and also a director of the futurist Foresight Nanotech Institute, has been investigating some of the consequences of self-driving cars or robocars.

Those consequences are remarkable, and developing robocars may be the greatest computer project of the early 21st century. Human driving kills a million people every year, with accidents costing economies trillions of dollars. But the fact that robocars can park, deliver and refuel themselves has other remarkable consequences. Such vehicles can result in highly marketable electric cars which are several times more efficient than today's cars or transit systems, solving a serious component of the world's energy and pollution problems. Computer driving will result in revolutions in manufacturing, energy and cities, not just transportation.

5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.       

The Resonance Project - "Crossing The Event Horizon: Jamie Janover presents the Grand Unification Theory of Nassim Haramein"

Learn about Nassim Haramein’s lifelong journey into the geometry of spacetime, which has lead to a coherent understanding of the fundamental structure of the universe and our existence in it. In this presentation, Jamie Janover will take you on a journey through humanity’s evolution, exposing the changes necessary to produce a Unified Physics; a unification of not only the four forces of nature, but also evolution and the occurrence of consciousness. Haramein's theory demonstrates as well a parallel between ancient codes in documents and monuments. This all-encompassing theory may prove to be one of the most important discoveries of our time.
