An artifact recently uncovered from ancient China, the NOW clock, will revolutionize our perspective on life and our experience of time.

The evident truth that all time is present Now can be directly experienced by everyone contemplating the NOW Clock.

Realigning with the natural cycles, NOW time fosters presence in awareness, allowing us to recognize, acknowledge and show gratitude for our true human nature and Nature with a capital N.

The High Noon controversy arose from the introduction of a standard linear time for railway schedule convenience:  on the “day of two noons” (November 18, 1883) all clocks in the United States were stopped in order to align to the new standardized time. Local and state laws soon ratified the new standard, but as late as 1915, citizen challenges to the time standard were still being considered by the courts.Many Americans, particularly those who continued to mark the passage of time by the natural rhythms of the sun, resisted the efforts of railroad officials and scientists to impose standard time on the nation.

Today, we are proclaiming the End of the exile of natural time from our life and reclaiming a new Beginning of freedom for all to organize their own true time, universally known as NOW time, from Now on.

INTRODUCING CITIZEN 4D AND FREESPACE 4D

INTRODUCING CITIZEN 4D AND FREESPACE 4D
A pioneering agency and surface for global communication and co-creation [in 4D]tm

“Shocking as it may be what we’re up to at CITIZEN 4D is unlocking the secret of time. Once and for all it is an evident truth that in 4D all time is present NOW”

CITIZEN 4D is the agency responsible for the design, development and management of FREESPACE 4D. Moving from Fuller’s findings on the practical applications of the 4th dimension and integrating our own discovery on the nature of time, we define 4D as dimension in which time is always present as NOW TIME.

FREESPACE 4D brings the Internet to its ‘Fuller’ potential, integrating the discovery of 4D as time always present to make the 4th dimension accessible, productive, and profitable, based on a renew sacred partnership between Nature and Humans.

We explore the power of the 4th Dimension to synchronize Nature and Commerce and help solve the world’s most urgent challenges through our product: intuitive transparent communication.
By taking down the 4th wall between man and nature (what Fuller prophesized and did in architecture) we are signaling the advent of a new era of regenerative, sustainable free energy and communication.

FREESPACE 4D is a Surface for developing and experimenting visions, prototypes and solutions for a thriving and sustainable future on planet Earth.

FREESPACE 4D helps the world realize the dream of a common language, setting the table for peace in our time and evolution on our watch.

FREESPACE 4D is a virtual platform for encounter, exchange, co-creation, learning, storytelling, team and community building, grassroots decision making and management, direct show and marketplace of talents, arts and crafts.

The conversation

Introduction to FS4D and Librarian-Evolution by Jane Oberg

Chapter I

In the beginning…  I first saw/met  G on July 4th, 2010, standing in the corner of his sister’s beach house kitchen. It was one of those across-the-room introductions when I hoped to remember names since we were all going out on a boat to watch Nantucket fireworks from the harbor.  But I do not recall seeing G again that night; in fact, I did not speak to him for weeks. That night, invisible behind his camera, he took a photo he showed to me months later:  “Oh you took a picture of me.” “No, I didn’t; I took a picture and you just happened to be in it.”   At the end of July I met him at Bartlett’s Farm where we re-introduced ourselves (yes, I forgot his name), and he engaged me in a conversation about his “Project.” After telling him I was a college writing teacher, he told me about how his teacher-friend Brooklyn-Howard developed  the FS4D theories which H later developed into a Masters thesis. He then offered to send me a newspaper article describing details of the educational experiment.  I gave him my email address and, shortly after, received the promised article.   My response began a series of brief email exchanges leading to a lunch invitation to Sconset: “…there's [sic] really so much a bite at a time for good digestion come out to Sconset and visit for a bit.”   Not taking it seriously, I thanked him for the invite, assuming I would not hear from him again. But I did, accepted, and found myself driving 6 miles to Sconset, wondering what I was in for. There was no lunch, but lemonade, cheese and crackers,  along with meeting  teacher friend from NYC (a bright articulate woman who had successfully used the Freespace “syllabus” in her classes) made for an enlightening visit.  Her enthusiasm about using a picnic basket to engage her  students’ interest in learning, along with G’s stories about the basket’s place in his “project” proved provocative. I left intrigued, but convinced the encounter was simply a one-off, that I was just another member of a large audience for G’s project pitch. Only part of my assumption turned out to be true.  Early in December I once again ran into G, and since a friend and I had just planned a holiday party, I invited him to come. He accepted, showed up in his then trademark patch-tartan trousers, and told us an amusing story about their history.  From this event began a series of six-mile visits which would draw me more deeply into the world and concepts of FS4D.

I would learn about his FS4D 10/10/10 exhibit at the Sconset Casino (an extension of his and “Brooklyn”  Howard’s collaboration) which  featured the appearance of George Mercurious, a persona G assumes to introduce and promote FS4D concepts. The art/i/facts from this exhibit would gradually introduce me to some of the project’s “simple complexities.” I learned not only that this has been a twenty-year preoccupation, but also more about the persona of the aforementioned GM, developed by G to play a major role (in a cast of many) in other productions, exhibits, and promotions.

Of course, I had many questions: How, when, and where did the FS4D project begin, and what keeps it going?  How and why did GM develop, and what were FS4D’s major influences? Before I learned any answers, however, I found myself re-invented as Molly (Jane) Madras, “cast” as a librarian (G’s former position when working with BH), and carrying responsibility for “work” I barely understood, often found confusing, but nonetheless enjoyed.   One of the key concepts of FS4D is the significance of living in the present/moment, the NOW (yes, E. Tolle’s books figure into this). Maintaining one’s focus in the moment opens up and accesses “freespace” allowing the “flow” of creativity, thus producing open/transparent communication. Other relevant thinkers whose work influences FS4D include:  R. Buckminster Fuller, P. D. Ouspensky and Joseph Campbell. Their work on 4D reinforces the concept that 4D includes all time:  past, present, and future. It represents time as a natural phenomenon, a part of nature determined by sunrise and sunset, before humans, attempting to control  “it,” divided “time” into seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years, consequently printing it onto calendars and clocks.   Other aspects learned via the 10/10/10 artifacts were the significance and roles of “surfaces,” which  neatly accommodate almost every concept FS4D promotes:

1) Green felt represents Nature (with an always capital N).

2) Wood-grain, usually represented by printed-contact paper,  represents the tree- of-knowledge, more specifically, lost or hidden knowledge that impedes intellectual progress.

3) Red-check gingham signifies people, the picnic aspect and food, and perhaps even intellectual nourishment.

4) Clear-plastic transparent surfaces, including magnifiers, suggest how truth ultimately permeates.   Other prominent motifs/symbols include:

• Ying-Yang watch faces that may also incorporate longitude and latitude grids; compasses and keys

• “Annotated” art works including DiVinci's  “Last (ing) Supper” and “The Creation of Adam” include FS4D  surface: between G-d’s finger and Adam’s is a green “felt” spot and the Apostles’ table includes touches of red gingham among other “alter/ations.”

Using “found” objects, G also creates miniature “assemblages” as responses to Joseph Campbells’s appeal for new mythologies:

• Annunciation Tryptich>a Renaissance Annunciation image that integrates several of G’s family photos

• Monarch Nativity> miniature nativity set upon which G has placed a monarch butterfly

• Geode Resurrection>A plastic form of Christ, removed from a Crucifix, leaning against a fragment of tree branch, and a Buddha image set into a purple Geode

• Mermaid Ascension> a composition form of a mermaid  carrying the plastic form of Christ

Most significant to me (as Molly-Librarian) is the vast collection of book that serve as both inspiration and validation of FS4D principles, philosophies and concepts. The predominantly non-fiction categories include: philosophy, art, religion, history, poetry, photography and pop-culture among others. From where they have been accumulated I have yet to learn. Whatever G’s focus, it can almost always be verified in one of these books. As I read through them,  I often find page corners turned down at the most relevant passages. Tucked inside some of them are bits of paper markers, many covered with G’s writing and symbols (wave-like swirls, figure eights, and “stars”).

As a writing teacher I would be remiss not to mention that part of G’s engagement with FS4D is daily “automatic” stream of consciousness writing that pours out onto pages and pages—some legible, some not, but always re/presentative of key concepts. My/our goal is to organize it,  especially what is included in piles of notebooks as chronologically as possible.  Once organized the material will included into a “guide/source/reference” format and become the basis for projects.

After nearly a year, my knowledge and fascination about FS4D continues. Every day I either learn something new or find another way to apply the knowledge to how I experience the world.  As G has taught me, I try to stay in, not stray from, the moment, especially when stressed; if I lose the moment or if it leaves me, I immediately attempt to reclaim it, and re/turn to the nOw, the present. And this is making all the difference.

An Early Freespace Definition

Ours is a Facebook Story

I first met Greg about two years ago online, he would give feedback on my poetry and prose on my Facebook page. He was one of those who just truly appreciated whatever I had to say, I would ramble on about things , express feelings of frustration and anxiety, still he appreciated it. I am blessed to have friends and readers who see through my work, and put their faith in the message of hope I convey.

It was only after early this year that I was introduced to Greg the artist. He gave me this task of creating a blog for Freespace 4D, and I bravely took it. I did not understand it at first but at the days went on I found comfort in knowing that I do not have to be alone in this, I can involve as many people as I want to involve. Freethinkers, Artists, Revolutionaries, Health Nuts...Dreamers. 

We are not alone. We are ALL ONE. 

This is Greg in March, something was said about this photograph "Mind moves faster than pen then tries to slow down to accomodate pen and loses the trail ... writing is such an experience of being so lost then found..."  and this is true. 

We are still on the beginning stages of this project, but I can see so many possibilities, and see YOU in it. 

Working on Freespace has been a mixture of fun and bewilderment and confusion, and I sometimes find a need to step back and yet it always brings me back to this space. 

It's like being asked to describe the shape or color of AIR... how can we even begin and end?

And yet we see possibilities....because our imagination can lead us to creation... We let our hearts work... and the universe responds. The work of heart is a work of art ... Through art all things are possible.

A Gateway to Freespace

It was the morning of April 11. Greg posted this photo with caption "just painted the gate"... and went on saying... "we cleared this path in one month 2 of us creating 7 huge bonfires we lit all at once... 30 foot flames rising up int he middle of the summer scorching the encompassing canopy tops will look for images...."

He was going to show us where it leads to. But right now, I don't really care. I'd be happy to set up a tent and live there, where there seems to be an endless road of mysteries. 

My gypsy soul is nourished.

THE LAYER THAT IS FREESPACE by Yves Musard

Image Source

I feel Free Space as a layer  that's now fused within what I am what I do.

Sometimes I return specifically to this layer as I do to others like the period of Solid Air in the 1990s

I feel particularly moved by the clock , the blue clock bought in Geneva with the world...

I remember when you removed the hour needle. I feel that is so significant now so much in sink with the world and I have it on all the time. I hope that can be a big landmark for you and Free Space.

The notion of Free Space added to the Bolide 2000 to 2003 as i used to call it or the Minimal Movment Space until I met you and called it the Free Space Unit/Unite de Libre Espace 2004? It is a tool for me like a support for the body and it is as I always conceived it a sacred space of sort, like an extension of the human body, untouchable space, an universal space of freedom, a piece of earth, a "house "for everyone defined by this rug.  In  a symbolic way it can have a lot of variation material and spiritual.

I would love we meet again on the Free Space Unit now sometimes in the future when we are both free.

Love to you in Free Space

EXPLORING FREESPACE by Tess Wonson

Image Source

Freespace is a concept that I’ve been exploring ever since meeting Greg at the grilled cheese joint on Ludlow Street six years ago. We played ping-pong out back and discussed the nature and invention of time, how people collectively manifest versions of reality, and how to reawaken a long forgotten universal language. There are infinite tangents to explore in Freespace and yet they string together to form the most perfect and beautiful web of conscious vs. subconscious, collective vs. individual, reality vs. fiction. It instantly made sense to me.

Greg decided that I was supposed to help introduce the concept of Freespace into the world. We would brainstorm for hours, delving into details of different components but where to start? With the script? With an art based social networking website? With a Freespace live exhibit? With the journal, or the picnic basket, or maybe a workbook of sort? His enthusiasm was contagious, our exchanges charged with unmeasured potential. It was like he'd brought me to uncharted territory that he found for us to map together. It felt like such a failure to lose the thread when we did, at least for me. It's obvious now that regardless of our deadlines or projections, the organic evolution of  Freespace is taking place in its own way, in its own time.

I think everyone can agree that art is an integral part of every society to develop since the beginning of civilization; one of our tag-lines was ‘join the conversation.’ If you don't already, start with journaling. Toss it later if you don’t like it but get it down. Where you go, who you meet, the connections made and how you feel about them. This is how you can start to find your own voice. You'll know when it’s time to start sharing. It took me years of developing and re-evaluating my perspectives, tone, and language before I could transcribe my own freespace with any confidence, and am always developing techniques and vetting myself - while I can share my thoughts and ideas more readily, I've still only just scraped the surface of deciphering which are worth sharing. I try to be patient with myself. After all, we are our own lifelong works in progress, but I’m getting off point. Creating our own process is a fascinating and an incredible journey. But use discretion, before a certain point of development it’s generally not very interesting to other people. Once you don't have to think about it anymore, your own process almost becomes a performance in and of itself; do the work and before long you will start to recognize the kernels worth more attention. Provocative, golden nuggets that enhance the world, inspire, activate and broaden perspectives.

I think of Freespace as a suggestion, an idea, a dimension of self-discovery through any medium of artistic approach. Anyone can utilize it. And regardless of whether you consider yourself to be an artist, exploration of your own Freespace is an admirable and supremely enjoyable endeavor. One that if followed will add value to all you put into the world, and besides, the personal benefits are extraordinary.

Such is the power of Freespace.
