the secret order of the saffron adhara
The Saffron Adhara is an esoteric name for the life force of the human soul and the mysticism connected to it. The Science of Noetics has described the existence of a particle secretion of sorts that can be stimulated by a master yogi’s state in meditation. In The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown this idea is very accurately described in a dialog between Robert Langdon and Katherine Solomon, “The human brain, in advanced states of focus, will physically create a waxlike substance from the pineal gland. This brain secretion is unlike anything else in the body. It has an incredible healing effect that can literally regenerate cells.” I call it the Saffron Adhara. Saffron is taken from the Saffron robes of an ancient order of monks and the color of a special Rose Madder type color that you only see at certain sunrises and sunsets at particular times of the year. Adhara is derived from the Adhara star, Canis Major- one of the most fascinating stars in the universe distinguished by its mystical pre-biblical and contemporary scientific history.
I believe the Saffron Adhara to be the ‘God Particle’ and the color and energy of anti-matter. It’s the Brahman and the Unified Field, the Holy Science and the XOI Principle. It is the integration of these components rooted within such profound contexts, that has become a reoccurring theme in my work that alludes to the idea of connectivity and universality as it relates to various ideologies, including nature’s degrees of separation, mathematical aesthetics, and the collective unconscious. This body of work is meant to weave through such subject matter, connecting facts of history to the mysteries of the heavens and my search for real magic.
