         Chapter 1.  The Holographic Psyche: A Transpersonal View of the All-Possible Human
        
  
        The holographic psyche is a  transpersonal state—a state beyond the personal three-dimensional reality that  we experience conditionally on Earth. The shift from a personal toward a  transpersonal identity brings one into a life-path trajectory that aligns with  the highest levels of human destiny.
         
 
         Chapter 2.  The Mythic Landscape of Healing: A Multicultural Perspective
        
 
 
        This chapter shows how the natural world reflects the  movement of mind and spirit. It describes six traditional systems of healing  that recognize spirit as the predominant influence in healing and well-being.
         
 
         Chapter 3.  Plants in the Light of Healing: Aligning Mind/Body/Soul
        
 
 
        The reader journeys into the mystical  nature of plants—how they heal and speak to the human mind/body/soul. This  chapter also highlights practical plant preparations for maintaining health and  wellness in life.
         
 
         Chapter 4.  Gems in the Light of Healing: Accessing Cosmic Intelligence
        
 
 
        Though gems are created on Earth, they resonate with stellar  points of origin throughout the galaxy, interfacing with energies that empower  their healing properties. This chapter describes how gem elixirs work through  the chakra system and subtle bodies, how gems enhance the light within our  electromagnetic body, how they’re made, and how to apply gems as color/light  therapy.
         
 
         Chapter 5.  Sacred Geometry and the Mystical Power of Gems
        
 
 
        Sacred geometry is a mathematical language that reveals  information about how creation unfolds, understood by the ancients to be the  “language of the Godhead.” This chapter looks at the primary organizing  patterns of the manifest world known as the
        
         Platonic  solids
        
        and how each of these evolutionary mathematical progressions  is directly expressed through gems.
         
 
         Chapter 6.  The Twelve Zodiacal Archetypes: Nature’s Blueprint of Our Holographic Psyche
        
 
 
        The astrological archetypes form the  energies upon which all mystical gnosis is built—from the runes to astrology to  tarot to aspects of Vedic science. Knowledge and mastery of these archetypes  form the foundation of all our aspirations, the place of residence for all our  potential. Flower essences and gem elixirs associated with each archetype are  provided to help the user embody the higher-dimensional attributes and forces  of Nature.
         
 
         Chapter 7.  The Seven Chakras: Dimensional Bridges
        
 
 
        The foundation of both our humanity and our divinity, the  chakra system clothes us in light. It gives us the fundamental tools of  reckoning between our environment and ourselves. Flower essences and gem  elixirs associated with each chakra are offered as illustration and vehicles  for entry into the sacred fields of the chakras.
         
 
         Chapter 8.  Higher Technology for Higher Consciousness: The Birth of Bioactive  Techno-Intelligence
        
 
 
        This chapter looks at the extension of the natural world  into the world of technology for higher consciousness: specifically, the birth  of techno-intelligence. How do we live in harmony with technology and preserve  our humanity? This chapter explores this question and looks at how the  functioning of human beings is changing to equip us to handle the speed, efficacy,  and neural challenge of modern technology.

        The human race is at the tipping point  of disaster, desperate for transformation. Crises of every kind—social,  economic, political, ecological, and spiritual—pose seemingly insurmountable  challenges to mankind. And as if the stress of watching the evening news  weren’t enough, we’re all forced daily to deal with our own social, economic,  and spiritual crises.
         
 
        Overwhelmed by everything from the  pace of technology to too much to do in too little time to expenses that exceed  our income, we long to reconnect—with sanity, with nature, with ourselves.  We’re turning by the millions to spiritual practices, such as meditation, yoga,  and mindfulness. We’re choosing alternative medicine, such as mind-body and  energy medicine. And we’re realizing that the madness within humanity—which is  both accelerating and intensifying—can be transmuted by only one thing: a shift  in consciousness.
         
 
        Such a shift in consciousness is the  topic of
        
         Awakening the Holographic Human: Nature’s Path to Healing and  Higher Consciousness
        
        . In this book, I have attempted to articulate the  state of beauty that resides in every human being, the state that can be lived  by anyone as limitations are cleared. This infinite, supernatural state is a  state of higher consciousness capable of anything—cognizing, healing,  manifesting, understanding, and compassion—all beyond our ordinary  comprehension of what it means to be human.
         
 
         The true glory of this supernatural  state is that it allows us to shift from a personal state of reference to a  transpersonal experience of living, one that is not limited by the conditions of  our personal reality.
        
        Transpersonal living allows us to view our lives from a more objective  perspective; as we grow in the ability to allow and accept, we are no longer  bogged down by our personal “stories.” We no longer fall victim to our beliefs,  thoughts, and reactions—are no longer enslaved by them.
         
 
        To go beyond the personal is to go  deep into the Mystery, the Sacred, the Sublime. This state has been revealed to  me over the years through Nature, through experiences of intimate communion  with what I call “the personal cosmos.” Mother Earth is generous in the tools  she offers us humans, and my own revelations have been well served through the  experience of flowers, herbs, gems, colors, and energy when applied within the  universal templates of the chakras and the stars—blueprints of Nature that  contain codes for us to enliven and elevate our consciousness to that of the  “holographic human.” I joyfully share my experience and knowledge of these  blueprints and gifts with you in this book.
