A Unified Science Approach Nassim Haramein has spent over 30 years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, chemistry, as well as anthropology and ancient civilizations. His work has led to new theories, published papers and patented inventions in unified physics—which are now gaining the recognition and acceptance they deserve. His findings are focused on a fundamental geometry of space that connects us all; from the quantum and molecular scale to cosmological objects in the Universe. This unified view also begins to bridge the gap between spiritual concepts and science. Our society has traditionally kept these separate and we were forced to believe in one or the other. In this new frontier of research, study and application it is natural to start seeing the connections and begin to incorporate both perspectives into a new understanding of the universe and our place in it. Over the years Nassim’s research as also lead him to extensively explore our ancient past. He believes we must look back and recover vital information contained within ancient sites all around the world in order to reach the next level of consciousness and capacities that will help guide us into the future.

First Annual Delegate Gathering
EGYPT 2017
“We are exploring sacred sites as a community” To support this important area of research, The Resonance Science Foundation and Resonance Academy are now bringing Academy Delegates on research trips to key sites around the world to look deeply at what has been left behind from a unified science perspective. Our first journey was to Egypt in the Fall of 2017. The itinerary was filled with illuminating discussions, archeological and cultural visits, and culminated with explorations of corridors and chambers inside the three Great Pyramids under a full moon. Delegates on this trip were the first to receive and work with the ARK® Crystals. In this mystical environment, Nassim had us considering many questions, such as, “Did an ancient civilization have knowledge of the structure of space and apply this knowledge, including energy generating and gravity control technologies to build massive structures?” He had us set out to gather fresh perspectives and insights by abandoning our tendencies to filter all we sense through our current understanding of the world. He invited us to open our mind, remain curious, and simply consider, “what if, why and how?” This trip was life-changing for the 180 Delegates attending this inaugural trip.

“Now we move onward to Peru and Bolivia” The next location on our multi-year adventure trail is Peru and Bolivia. Like with Egypt, these locations have not been chosen simply because they are incredible milestones in the human record. These places are not isolated; there is a specific relationship between the sites. Both are part of a larger network that covers the globe and each year we will be connecting the dots between locations that may have been chosen for a very specific reason by an advanced civilization prior to our written history. “If you understand the relationships, and you know that we went to Egypt last year and we’re going to Peru this year, then you should be able to define we’re going to go next year. But that’s another story,” teases Nassim! (see the back cover to see where we are headed next!) Nassim elaborates on why Peru, “The temples found here used to have a type of technology in them, a technology that taps into the structure of the vacuum, which taps into the structure of space-time. Archeologists all around the world are starting to become more vocal about this, that there’s evidence of a pre-cataclysmic era, which is a pre-ice age era, in which there was clearly an advanced civilization on our planet that had capacities that exceed what we can do today.” Evidence for this is the existence of massive stone blocks, often polygonal in shapes that fit together so tightly that you cannot fit a human hair in the joints. Such workmanship was far beyond the capability of the Bronze Age Inca. We also see strong evidence of cataclysmic damage to these precise stone structures. This clearly makes Cusco and the surrounding Andean sites far more fascinating to explore than the Spanish chroniclers and modern academics would leave us to believe.
As a community we will search for evidence of these past, advanced civilizations, and explore the relationship between the evidence we saw in Egypt and the evidence we will find in Peru and Bolivia and beyond. Nassim urges us all to be prepared. “We’re going to places where initiates were brought to achieve galactic awareness, to achieve higher perspective, to connect with deeper, more profound truth about themselves, about their environment, about the universe as a whole.” He advises us to come with a healthy skepticism that the orthodox theory of human prehistory, the one that is taught in all our schools and universities, may be a bit erroneous. Nassim asks Delegates attending this trip to be aware, self-responsible and in resonance as a group. “There will be about 150 of us traveling through these sites and our presence will have an impact. What kind of that impact is directly related to the quality of our presence and purpose individually and collectively.” “That is why it is important for each person attending this trip to show up with an open inclusive, attitude, and foster a resonant connection to all we encounter. I don’t want us to feel abrasive to anyone. At the end, I want our hosts to say, ‘Wow, look at this amazing group. Look how coherent, loving and powerful this groups is.’ That is how I want us to show up.” “This is going to be an life changing adventure for all of us,” Nassim reminds us. “We are all going to come out transformed from this Delegate Gathering. This is an important step in our journey of having a positive ripple effect in the world. We are embarking upon an incredible transformative journey and again, I’m humbled to be able to be on this important mission with you.”
“This is not a vacation, we are on a Mission!”

our guide
Moises Aragon
Born in Cusco, the capital of the Incas, Moises Aragon is an archaeologist, author, adventurer, Andean priest, therapist, life coach, international speaker and accomplished photographer. His destiny was almost pre-ordained as he was born into a family of academics. “My father is an anthropologist and also an Andean curandero, a third-generation healer and scholar,” reflects Moises. “As a child I was mesmerized by all this knowledge. I also discovered then my sensitiveness and intuition. I always felt there was more to what we could see and imagine. So now I am honored to be sharing my experiences with Nassim and his entire Resonance family during the 2018 Resonance Academy Delegate Gathering. I am committed to share with you the very best!” At a young age Moises was initiated into the ancient arts of the Incas. Since then he has dedicated his life to recovering, translating and sharing with all of humanity, ancient Incan healing knowledge and wisdom. This interest drove him to earn a B.A. degree in archaeology from the University of Cusco and a M.A. degree from University of California, Berkeley.
Moises has worked and consulted at Machu Picchu and is credited with discovering more than forty new, amazing sites there. He has developed an intimate understanding of the ancient technologies that were used at various Andean sites and has lectured on this topic for the past 35 years. He also trained in the remote jungles of Mantalo and Shiva Koreni, with the Machiguenga and Ashaninka tribes to understand their use of plant-based medicines. You will be energized by Moises’ sense of wonder and curiosity as he mixes wisdom of ancient technologies and plant medicine with some surprises and even magic during this year’s Delegate Gathering. “I’ve helped design this tour to allow us to connect with all that is important to us—in Cusco, in Sacsayhuamán, in Chinchero, Maras, the Sacred Valley, Písac, Ollantaytambo, and of course, Machu Picchu. These are amazing locations that together we will explore and see close-up the remains of this ancient technology. Like Nassim said in Egypt last year, we are going to find more things here because there are still discoveries hiding, waiting for humanity to come and uncover them. I cannot wait to experience this with you as we reconnect with this ancient vibration and technology.” RESONANCE ACADEMY

special guest
brien foerster “When most people think of Cusco and the Sacred Valley of Peru they of course discuss the Inca civilization that existed there from about 1000 to 1535 AD. However, when one delves deeper into the story, with the assistance of local wisdom keepers we find out that about 1000 years ago the Inca found an abandoned megalithic center and adopted it as their capital.” Brien Foerster is an author and adventurer who has spent more than two-decades exploring Peru, Bolivia, Egypt, Hawaii, Easter Island and other exotic places. Brien has embraced the notion that limited thinking has been one of the greatest hindrances that has prevented breakthroughs in theories and innovation. He believes you need to move beyond these limitations to inspire better thinking — thinking that challenges the status quo. Throughout his career he has had the courage to expose gaps and perceived flaws in conventional archeology through his own unique perspectives, emphasizing that some advanced technologies and human history are at least 10,000 years old. Born in Rochester, Minnesota, Brien grew up on the west coast of Canada. From an early age he was fascinated with the art of the Haida and other native people, and began carving totem poles, and other related art forms. After completing an Honors Bachelor of Science degree, from the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, he took up carving and sculpture full-time. In 1995 he moved to Maui, Hawaii, and for two-years acted as assistant project manager for the construction of the 62 foot double hull sailing canoe Mo’okiha O Pi’ilani (Sacred Lizard That Pierces the Heavens).

FACE the CURRENT MAGAZINE
His interests then shifted to Peru and the study of the Inca culture which led to writing his first book, “A Brief History of the Incas.” Since then, in addition to numerous television and radio appearances, Brien has authored more than 25 books on megalithic sites, hidden history and travel including, “Aftershock: The Ancient Cataclysm That Erased Human History.” He also writes articles for Graham Hancock: www.grahamhancock.com, and is associated with Lloyd Pye of the Starchild project, whose geneticist is analyzing the DNA of elongated human skulls of the Peruvian Paracas culture on his behalf. Brien now divides his time between Paracas, Peru, and Cusco, where he continues his study of the perplexing ancient elongated headed people of the area as well as researching megalithic works throughout South America. We are thrilled that Brien will be part of the 2018 Resonance Academy Delegate Gathering where his knowledge will be indispensable as we explore and learn about the regions ancient technologies, sacred sites, temples, and ruins.

This is a site with all the characteristics of Inca urbanism distributed in several sectors within a large space. Nature is in harmony with its buildings, and we will observe the religious, urban, agricultural sector as a series of elements typical of the Inca architecture. Ollantaytambo is the only town in which the indigenous peoples are still living in constructions of the Inca time. Here, we have many examples of the incredible stonework—gigantic carved rocks —some of which were never finished. In other sectors, we will see perfect cuts in the bedrock, showing this magnificent work with unknown ancient technology. We’ll enjoy the whole day exploring this unique Inca jewel.

Its location, and also its climate, contribute to and create the atmosphere of mystery and legend that makes Machu Picchu a truly mythical place. It is built on high hills with vertical walls (Batholit of Vilcabamba) with the Vilcanota River below, like a silver snake taking care of its boundaries. The Citadel looks untouched by the world of humans, rather a place for the gods themselves. We’ll have the whole day to explore and feel the powerful energy. Then in the evening, we’ll connect as the Full Moon is rising for a very special private ceremony on Machu Picchu with our ARK® crystals, during which Nassim will lead us on a powerful journey of activation.

Local Culture Visiting Perú and Bolivia is like going back in time.You will be immersed in rich culture, and every archeological site awaits your inquisitive mind. As you walk through the streets of Cusco, you touch our past in this present moment. What an honor this is! Our ancient and beloved Perú and Bolivia are located in South America. In spite of its size, Perú has a coast, highland and jungle. Without traveling long distances, an hour flight can take you over our highland, or in 90 minutes you can be in our precious jungle. You will experience the same in Bolivia, except that Bolivia is a landlocked country. Sadly, due to a war with Chile, Bolivia lost its access to the Pacific Ocean in 1904. ENJOY OUR CELEBRATIONS Jubilant celebrations occur almost every day, especially in Cusco. Life is celebrated with a variety of events. Cusco still celebrates Inti Raymi, a ceremony to our Father Sun. You may experience a celebration of saint day, a virgin celebration, or even a parade around Huacaypata Square (Plaza de Armas). LOCAL CURRENCY Our currency in Perú is soles and bolivianos in Bolivia. You can exchange your currency at the airport in Perú and Bolivia. Never hesitate to give some soles to sweet old ladies, gentlemen or children who sell fruits, candies and souvenirs on the streets.You will definitely make a difference in their lives! LOCAL FOOD AND MUSIC Vist our restaurants and get ready to eat a variety of tasty Peruvian dishes in like cuy, chicharrón de chancho, trucha, cebiche, ají de gallina, and more. Be adventurous and try it all! You will also have the opportunity to listen to some local musicians in restaurants, hotels or sometimes on the streets. Be sure to support them by purchasing a CD -their music is music for your soul. TIPPING Tipping will always make Peruvians and Bolivians happy since it is not mandatory to tip. A ten percent tip or ore will be received gratefully, just follow your heart and PLEASE ask permission to take pictures of locals BEFORE you click and always give a tip.

Local Culture WHAT TO WEAR There is no dress code for walking around Perú or Bolivia; just wear anything that makes you feel comfortable. Wearing hiking or walking shoes is not a bad idea since Cusco’s streets are quite hilly. Perhaps you will choose to pick up some local wares and add some rich colors to your dress! COCA LEAVES & ALTITUDE SICKNESS While traveling through Perú’s iconic landscape, some people may experience altitude sickness. Each person experiences altitude differently, and while some only experience mild symptoms, others may find it more challenging. The local coca leaf* has many properties that have been utilized for centuries by the native people of Perú and Bolivia, and it is highly recommended to travelers in Perú’s Andean highlands. Coca leaf is a mild stimulant that works to suppress symptoms of altitude sickness such as headaches, nausea and fatigue. These leaves and coca tea will be available at most of the locations we visit, should you wish to use them for their benefits. If you choose to chew the leaves please be mindful of where you dispose of them. Either have a pouch with you to put them in during the day or find a trash can. We also highly recommend everyone avoid alcohol during the trip, as its use can increase the chances of altitude sickness. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water and getting enough good quality sleep. We know many of you have travelled very far to join us on this adventure, and we want to make sure you are all getting the rest you need to resupply your energy stores. We’ll need it for our mission! *Disclaimer: The Resonance Science Foundation & Resonance Academy will not be held responsible for any adverse effects from coca leaves, coca tea, or any other substance during the Delegate Gathering that you choose to consume. EMBRACE YOUR JOURNEY! There will be plenty of surprises as you travel through Perú and Bolivia. Embrace and enjoy the journey with an open and loving soul as you experience our beloved and sacred lands. Article by:

Resonance Discovered
The Unexpected Journey in the ® Creation of an ARK Crystal Have you ever looked at an ARK® crystal or seen the hashtag #whereistheark and wondered “ What does it take to put the power of the universe in the palm of your hand?” To the naked eye, an ARK® Crystal is uncomplicated. It’s a clear, precision cut quartz crystal encased in a titanium saddle, nestled safely inside an elegant pendant. Though the design is clean, beautiful in its simplicity, the journey from seed crystal to resonance technology is deep and complex. Before an ARK® Crystal finds its way to you it has an extensive journey. It all begins with a scientist in a lab and a crystal seed. Once the seed is sown, through a molecular process of hydrothermal synthesis, it grows into a slab of the highest-quality optical grade quartz. laboratory grown crystals are 99.99% pure; a level unheard of in natural quartz. From planting to harvest, it takes several years for a hydrothermally synthesized quartz to reach maturation. Once the crystals reach the specified size, they are harvested and inspected for quality and handed off for further cutting and use. It takes as many as 90 steps to properly cut or grind a precise tetrahedron according to ARK®’s standards. Each step is fine and precise, taking into account the molecular alignment of the quartz which must be constantly marked and verified with each step to ensure the crystal is cut according to specification. After the crystals are cut, they are sent to the ARK® headquarters in Orange County California, where a small staff hand inspects each stone for accuracy and quality.

If the crystals pass inspection, they can move on to the next phase of their journey; the saddle and pendant fitting. Each saddle and pendant are expertly crafted from titanium using a technique called titanium metal injection molding (TMIM). TMIM allows for the production of the small finely featured titanium parts, which are then sent on to be hand polished and assembled.
the ARK® crystal to the vacuum energy which drives coherent electromechanical oscillations of the quartz resulting in a constitutive field of interaction emanating from the crystal. Once activated by the HFR, ARK® crystals can be used to increase coherence and vitality in almost any system when placed in their resonant field of interaction.
After everything is inspected and up to ARK®’s rigid standards, each crystal is fitted with its own, individual saddle and pendant. The pendants are outfitted with a special set of magnets, designed to keep the ARK® crystal safely in place. After meticulous assembly, each ARK® crystal is charged in Torus Tech’s Harmonic Flux Resonator (HFR). The HFR creates a circularly modulated electromagnetic field that oscillates the piezoelectric axis of the ARK® crystal generating a unique resonance and energetic pattern in the crystal’s field. This couples

Science In Resonance Welcome to your next adventure as a Resonance Science Foundation delegate. You are here because you believe, like Nassim Haramein, that all things are connected, and the world can be a better place once a tipping point of people recognize that we all live in resonance with the whole of creation. With deep gratitude, I am happy to introduce myself as the new Executive Director of the Resonance Science Foundation. My name is Brian Anderson.

“We believe that everything is connected and have the science to prove it, and the tools to experience it.” A little bit about me A question echoes in my mind: “Are you ready to serve?” I know that answering with a “no” will mean that my heart will cease to beat at this time, on this plane of existence, on planet Earth sitting in an inipi, a sweat lodge, in Laguna Beach, CA at 2:30 p.m. on March 10, 2012. Somehow, I know that I will physically die. So, why isn’t it easy for me to just say “yes” and truly mean it? The short answer, and ultimate dilemma, is that by saying “yes” I am acknowledging that the last 50 years of my existence must be left behind. I was actually born at this exact time on March 10, 1962 and it seems that I have found my crossroads between two simple words: “yes” or “no.” I was able to answer “yes” and mean it. I am here on earth with the desire to be in service for the greatest good for all with what I have and can offer…a bit poetic, a bit philosophical, a bit artistic, a bit scientific, a bit altruistic, a bit spiritual, a bit gourmet, a bit pragmatic, but filled with love. Love of life, of family, of friends made and yet to make, of community and the worlds we inhabit on this and all other planes of existence. So, who is Brian Anderson? I am a businessman and Forbes columnist with a track record of success, but more importantly I am of source, as WE are of source and WE ARE ALL CONNECTED seeing wonder through each other’s hearts.
What’s next for Resonance Science Foundation? I can promise that you will see amazing new exciting things from the Foundation in the coming months. We will be upgrading our brand image, website and global presence as well as launching a new app in order to significantly expand our community. We will leverage and comarket heavily with our sister companies Torus Tech and ARK® Crystal. We have codified how we describe ourselves:
“Resonance Science Foundation is the nonprofit leader in Resonance Science. Based on Nassim Haramein's Unified Physics Theory, we bring resonance to the world by unifying science, social consciousness and spirituality. We are building a leading-edge learning community of students, scientists, independent researchers and curious minds of all ages exploring and manifesting a thriving world in resonance. Founded in 2004 as a 501(c)(3), the foundation sets a new standard for connectedness, humanizing physics and improving the human condition through our academy courses, library of research scientists' publications, travel and unique offerings such as the ARK® crystal.” Yes, you read correctly. Resonance Science Foundation will now expand our focus from pure science, to the intersection of science, social consciousness and spirituality. We believe that a social/ scientific movement of likeminded people can and will unify science, social consciousness and spirituality. We are engaging in positive change in the world while credibly righting long held misbeliefs in physics. We believe that bringing resonance to the world will set a new standard for connectedness, humanizing physics and improving the human condition. You can expect more content, served up daily, on impactful issues around resonance science, unified physics, social consciousness and spirituality. We will make it easy for you to share your experiences, science and thoughts on our connected universe as we expand our community globally. We will be adding localized content in French soon, followed by Spanish and other languages in 2019. We will add more opportunities to meet up locally, as well as in important scientific and sacred places around the world, such as Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the Spring of 2019 and Mexico in the Fall of 2019. I look forward to the journey ahead and your part in expanding Resonance Science Foundation’s impact on our connected world.
In resonance & gratitude,

OUR research TEAM is growing Much like our Universe, the exploration of knowledge–otherwise known as science–is continuously expanding at an exponential rate. The unknowns and questions are endless, so we will never be short of work, but the more minds the merrier and the faster. The expansion of the scientific research team is therefore very welcome and hopefully this is only the beginning. The focus of research at the Resonance Science Foundation and Torus Tech Laboratories is centered on a common unifying element across all sciences. That fundamental unifying factor is SPACE along with the understanding that, unlike its namesake, is a plenum of energy which all matter emerges from and returns into. When we understand this, we begin to see a world where forms take familiar shapes and patterns are repeated across scales. This never ending ‘fractal’ pattern is what unifies science across all scales, from the simple to more complex systems spanning from physics to chemistry, biology, psychology, neuroscience and beyond. The new science team members add to and reflect this unified and interdisciplinary approach.
WILLIAM BROWN is the resident biophysicist with a background in molecular and cellular biology, quantum biology, neurobiology, microbial genetics, genomics and epigenetics. His work at the Resonance Science Foundation includes theoretical work linking the dynamics of the spacememory network to biology, evolution, and consciousness—expounded in the manuscript the unified spacememory network: from cosmogenesis to consciousness. Additionally, William performs experimental research of vacuuminterfacing technologies to assess their functionality and effects on the living system.
DR OLIVIER ALIROL is the resident nuclear physicist with a background in both physics and chemistry, and also as a scientific adviser for startups and medium size companies. With the Resonance Science Foundation team, he will be focused on writing equations and understanding how to unify the infinitely small with the infinitely large. This next year his contribution to the team will be on scaling up the holographic model from the proton to bigger atoms and molecules.
DR INES URDANETA is the resident chemical physicist with a background in theoretical and experimental chemistry and physics, in the domain of light-matter interaction at the atomic, molecular and solid state. Together with the members of the team her work at the Resonance Science Foundation will focus on describing and developing physical-chemical models in the frame of the holographic model and unification theory. She will also focus on consciousness and quantum information theory.
DR AMIRA VAL BAKER is the resident astrophysicist with a background in experimental atmospheric physics and observational, analytical and theoretical astrophysics. Her work at the Resonance Science Foundation has focused on cosmology and sub-atomic matter with the connecting factor being blackholes. This next year with the help of all the team members her work will focus on dark matter, star formation and electron orbitals.
DR JOHANNA DEINERT is the resident medical doctor with background in microbiology, cardiovascular prevention, as well as hepatobiliary and transplant surgery. She is a German board-certified General Practitioner with focus on holistic healthcare, functional and energy medicine and is specialized in complementary electrophysiology (acupuncture point and meridian diagnostics), utilizing homeopathic preparations to detect silent inflammation or toxic influences on the bodies system of ground regulation.
