Sitting here at home tonight, internet service down, time expands. And so does my appreciation for this stunning home I have been blessed with. This home speaks to my heart and to the heart of almost all who visit. It’s an answer in the form of a dwelling place to the yearning that is welling up inside so many of us for simplicity, nature, harmony, and peace.

The “smart world” with its tech-buzzing homes insists on faster, evermore connected, AI, and “convenience”. Life is reduced to services delivered through buttons and buzzes, devices and data. But much of humanity is saturated to the point of indigestion. The thought of even one more “byte” is repugnant.

Many people don’t realize they’re over-consuming. It’s the norm, what everyone does. But when people enter this home, my sanctuary, I sense in them a palpable sigh of relief. Time slows down, and they begin to see once again: Irregular shapes and textures, the varied forms of nature, replace insistent angular forms and synthetic materials of mass-produced homes. Heavy stones reminiscent of times long gone, reclaimed wood, and boards from fallen trees, each one conveying a unique life story, all meld together to form a tapestry inside that reflects the varied textures, colors, and forms of the exquisite and open surrounding landscape. This home feels different, strangely different, yet so familiar. Entering this home is not stepping out of nature but rather transitioning to an enclosed nest that is nature.

Designed around the natural sunlight of the seasons, the passive solar orientation with a wall full of windows on the south side of the home provides sunlight in the winter throughout the day. And in the summer, when the sun is high in the sky, an overhang above the windows ensures the home stays temperate. So, the energy required to heat and cool this home are but the finishing touches. The bulk of the “work” has been accomplished by nature — a stark contrast to “smart” homes, which ignore the natural world and superimpose draconian measures to replace what has heedlessly been discarded.

The workmanship of this home is exquisite. It’s difficult to find words for the perfection of the imperfections. Edges and corners are seamlessly and intentionally woven together without harsh, machine-generated definition. Colors that mimic nature blend, complementing one another with no single one claiming sovereignty.

In typical homes, the dulling of our senses is only surpassed by the assault on our health from toxic materials, not to mention the embodied energy needed to manufacture all the so-called “smart” features of newer homes. But with this home, enormous care has been taken to ensure that all materials (to the degree possible) are free of toxins and ethically sourced. Solid oak doors reclaimed from an estate in Connecticut lend beauty while escaping early retirement to a landfill. Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities give seasoned barn wood a new lease on life.

Thankfully Satiety Cove is situated far from cell towers and for the time being has not been targeted by Telecom for a 5G “small cell”. Minimalistic but wise use of technology untethers this home from the energy grid, smart meters, and the attendant electrical pollution. No dimmer switches, internet of things appliances, or other such gadgets that proffer far more than they offer. 

Outside, chirping birds replace the incoherent sounds and electromagnetic frequencies so unavoidable in urban living. A tree, brimming with activity and life, lovingly offers herself as a dwelling place for squirrels and other little critters. Why on earth are humans trading these treasures of nature for radiating antennas outside of homes?

We all consume…it’s a reality of being alive. The only question is how to do so causing the least harm to other beings and to our shared planet. Though certainly not perfect, this has been the aim in building Satiety Cove. It is a precious and cherished “understatement” that embodies the sweet point of satiation – thus its name, Satiety Cove. I feel blessed and truly satiated, and I pray that our civilization comes to value the preciousness of “less”, simpler, and so-called “dumb,” so Earth can regenerate and we humans can once again experience the beauty of being fully alive.   

The ability to see things from another person or animal’s perspective is known as Theory of Mind and is a skill we humans presumably develop over time as we mature.  I thought I had it down pretty well until this morning when I read through Patricia Burke’s fascinating Substack which weaves together cosmic current, Arthur’s legacy, EMFs, meridians, time, and more, and I realized just how far from understanding theory of mind I was in terms of dimensional thinking.

Immersing myself in the teachings of Barbara Hand Clow, coupled with a few awkward interactions I’ve had recently, and then this morning reading Patricia’s tapestry of thought, all converged within my being and helped me awaken to a better understanding of the Ninth Dimension – that of Time and the role it plays in navigating the different dimensions.

Recently, I have noticed in myself a deep yearning to share with others exciting revelations or insights I’ve had, but these are often received with a blank expression, downright skepticism, or simply an honest, “I don’t get what you’re talking about.” 

Seen through the lens of what Barbara Hand Clow delineates as the Ninth Dimension, Time, why should they get it? 

“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under Heaven.“

I’ve heard this saying many times throughout my life, first when I was a teenager from the Byrd’s rendition of Pete Seeger’s song Turn, Turn, Turn, and then from the Torah’s teachings from the period during which I immersed myself in Orthodox Judaism. But until today, I had never thought of it in terms of dimensional thinking and consciousness evolution. 

I understood intuitively that when a fruit is ready for harvesting, it seemingly offers itself as if to say, “I’m here for you. Please, enjoy in the service of all Life.” And having raised four children, I knew to wait until a child is ready before exposing them to “adult” concepts or such. And I could see that we humans are often hit with the same life challenge in different garbs until such time as our vessel (i.e. mind and body) is ready to receive life’s lesson. But what I didn’t get were the “seasons of time” in terms of dimensional development – each person’s individual timeline and trajectory in their ability to perceive the world through different dimensions. 

Most of us reside in the third dimension, the workaday, physical reality of thoughts, speech, and actions emerging from conditioned or habitual patterns, customs, and norms. But there are other dimensions that offer different lenses into our understanding of reality. More and more people now are beginning to move in and out of these other dimensions – dimension hopping, so to speak – as new insights and experiences inform their consciousness, and as scientific materialism begrudgingly gives way to an understanding that consciousness, not matter may be the foundation of all existence. (See for e.g., the paradigm shifting Telepathy Tapes or Mark Gober’s book, An End to Upside Down Thinking: Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life.)

Theory of Mind Deficit Disorder

Sometimes a parent is inordinantly excited to share things with their child that they (the parent) have found enjoyable. So, for example, a parent may take a toddler who can barely walk, on a day’s outing of snow-boarding when a “pony ride” on their father’s back with a game of hide-and-seek would have been so much more fun for the child. Or they’ll waste heaps of money (and stress the environment needlessly) taking a baby to Disney World when a few rounds of “boo”, coupled with cuddles and warm smiles would have been far more meaningful. These parents are lacking theory of mind.

But so was I when I was trying to share thoughts and insights cross dimensionally with people residing primarily in the third dimension. I realized this morning we must meet others in the dimension through which they see the world, perhaps periodically inserting a taste of other dimensions, a kind of appetizer providing evolutionary micro nutrients so to speak for when their perspective is ready to open to further growth. 

This understanding helped me to feel less judgmental or disappointed with others who may not see things the way I do. For how could they and why should they? Their window into reality has a different filter, illuminator, magnification, aperture, focus, and resolution than mine. And anyway, all windows into reality are perpetually in flux, so who knows what tomorrow may bring.

To everything, there is a season, and a time for every purpose under Heaven. – Ecclesiastes 3:1

“The field of chronobiology is rapidly expanding around the world. Medical professionals, researchers and the general population are beginning to see the benefits of using chronobiological principles in everything from medication administration to determining the most effective time of day to exercise. Chronobiology is being used in the study of genetics, endocrinology, ecology, sports medicine and psychology, to name a few.” – Chronobiology
