                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Kia ora everyone, I’m Luke Tomes (Ray's Son), a 52-year-old music producer, audio engineer and technology entrepreneur based in New Zealand. My career has taken me from producing and engineering music for artists including Stellar*, Bic Runga and Pluto to building software products and leading technology teams.</span></p>
<p><span>I helped start </span><a href="https://www.inquisitive.com/"><span>Inquisitive</span></a><span>, an education platform, and </span><a href="https://www.voiceq.com/"><span>VoiceQ</span></a><span>, dubbing and dialogue-recording software for film and television. My background spans product design, technology strategy and project management, with a practical focus on turning ideas into useful tools.</span></p>
<p><span>I work with Ray Tomes at CRI, supporting his cycles and harmonics research on the technology and project-management side. This includes helping develop research tools, organise projects and make the work more accessible to others. Coming from music and audio, I’m particularly interested in the connections between the harmonics theory and music, sound synthesis and rhythm, harmonics and patterns in the natural world.</span></p>
<p>Definitely keen to investigate the WSM further, although my maths and physic skills and knowledge are not up to the level of my Dads.</p>
<p><span>I’m looking forward to exchanging ideas, learning from others and contributing to the CRI community.</span></p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aloha from the north shore of the island of Maui in the Hawaiian archipelago, where next door is the largest mountain on Earth from its base below sea level to its summit — Mauna Kea. Which quite intriguingly is located precisely at 19.47° north latitude, the same degree where the base points of a tetrahedron with its apex point in the south pole would touch the Earth's surface.</p>
<p>I founded <strong>Harmonic Science Alliance</strong> two years ago (under the umbrella of a private non-profit spiritual association called <strong>Harmonic Alliance</strong>) so as to coalesce, organize, formalize and promote the field of Harmonic Science. I feel it is imperative that humanity embraces this paradigm as it offers the best and most viable path out of the messy phase we're in and into a truly harmonious one.</p>
<p>HSA's flagship offering is a general-audience journal called <em><strong>Harmonic Science Perspectives</strong></em>, made available to read online for free at <a href="https://www.harmonic-science.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.harmonic-science.org</a>.</p>

<p>(I'll post about the journals in the Harmonic Science Alliance topic as well.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2019 I published my book called <em>Cosmometry – Exploring the HoloFractal Nature of the Cosmos</em>, which you can learn about at <a href="https://www.cosmometry.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.cosmometry.com</a>.</p>

<p>As for my bio otherwise, simplest for me at this moment is to paste in here the bio from my book, with a few modifications.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: center"><strong><em>“Intrepid Actualism Will Exist Forever...”</em></strong></p>
<p class="p1">Marshall Lefferts has been a student of Nature since the age of five when he made his first trip to a remote cabin in the deep wilds of the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York state with his parents and brothers. Sixty-two years later, he still goes to that cabin and listens intently to what Nature wishes to teach him, and much of what is shared in his book, <em>Cosmometry</em>, has come from those magical and insightful experiences. He also began studying music at the age of eight and is now a multi-instrumentalist, performer and composer.</p>
<p class="p1">In his first year of college in 1978, following a spontaneous epiphany of awakening (where the quote above came from), he began studying the martial art of Aikido and became inspired by the writings of R. Buckminster Fuller, having the good fortune of meeting Bucky the following year. Veering away from traditional academia into the indigenous education of the great Universe-ity, Marshall has traversed an unconventional path in service to the bigger picture of what’s going on here on planet Earth during this time of critical transition.</p>
<p class="p1">Along the way he became a Producer of media projects, starting with <i>Star Trek</i>® CD-ROMs in the early 1990’s, then co-producing a short film about Mars Pathfinder for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1997. In 1998, he met Barbara Marx Hubbard and subsequently became Co-Director of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution from 1999-2004, launching evolve.org in 2000. During these same years he produced internet media projects for the Buckminster Fuller Institute, then located in Santa Barbara, CA, where he was living. From 2005-2009 he lived on the Big Island of Hawaii, immersing in the study of “pod consciousness” while swimming with the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, and composing, recording and producing a collaborative album of original music, called <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1W2xa08zmXPjBvSJi7fw0Y?si=e1nZlqsXTB6QoKmrBuw31Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mystery of Souls</a>. </p>
<p class="p1">Marshall served as Board President of Nassim Haramein's Resonance Science Foundation from 2006 to 2019, as well as co-designing, writing curriculum for and launching the Resonance Academy in 2014. From 2007 to 2012, Marshall served as Associate Producer for the documentary film, <i>Thrive: What On Earth Will It Take?</i>, which is one of the most widely viewed long-form independent documentary films, and collaborated again with the Thrive team as Co-Director of Visual Effects and Post-Production Supervisor for <i>Thrive II: This Is What It Takes!</i></p>
<p>N.B. I also had a hand in launching a fascinating and insightful system for self-reflection called the Gene Keys, having collaborated with its creator to publish the first edition of the <em>Gene Keys</em> book in 2009.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Born in 1947 in Auckland, New Zealand and lived here all my life. Have developed interest in cycles in bursts in 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and then continuously since then. In the late 1980s developed Harmonics Theory which reached its final form in 1990. Developed CATS free package for cycles and time series processing available at CRI. In 2025 wrote a book "Wobbly Universe" with help from Luke Tomes. Made a cycles forum decades ago and spammers crashed it. Now in 2026 with the help of Luke Tomes and David Katzmire we have made it again.</p>
