b'Jonathan, well known overseas as a gifted metaphysical artist and cosmologist, creates computer graphics on the big screen presenting leading edge mathematics and geometry, unveiling to us both the unity and diversity of existence including the majestic tapestry of universal patterns. Today our world is in a flurry of a hurry, with survival and the outside world impinging on our everyday life - finance, crime, war, job, family, housing, weather - that so much information is being pumped in to our living rooms and lounges, that for many of us, we are in information overload. Time to take an in-breath and inhale the invisible that we all share and which keeps us alive. It has become very noticeable over the last 20 years that the pace of life has left us little time to catch up on what constitutes existence and to figure out our particular place in the world. Where once we seemingly had more time to read a book, and contemplate the meaning of life, the situation has morphed down to a quick squizz of a magazine, and now to a 5 minute You Tube, to even quicker, hasty texts and tweets. However, at another level, discoveries into the makeup of existence are still being made from understanding more about holography and that the universe appears to be holographic, to morphic resonance, the emergence of form, to quantum -everything- and interconnection and from chaos theory, to the fact we can - spontaneously evolve - on towards behavioral insights, teleportation and telepathy, whilst unknown to many - the evolution of consciousness continues unabated.'
