Welcome to Destiny. Now, here's your host, Cliff Dunning.

Well, hey, how are you doing? This is Cliff, your host of Destiny, and welcome to the program. I think that this is one of these synchronistic weeks where everything seems to flow off pretty well. And I say that because I just finished quite a fun chapter on Archaeoacoustics. And I mentioned this last week a little bit and how this unusual architectural feature at Chichen Itza and the Great Pyramid, when you clap, it comes up with a bird chirp, known as the Quetzalcoatl or the Quetzal bird chirp. And it's reflected on the Kukulakan Pyramid, also known as El Castillo. And what's interesting is that it's not just that effect, it's a bunch of other effects. And right now, as of this recording, there's three major Mayan cities. It's Chichen Itza, Palenque, and Edzna. Edzna is in Campeche, and Palenque is in Tabasco, Chiapas. Or excuse me, it's in Chiapas. And what's funny is that when I was reading the details of our guest today, he had done, and today's feature is all about acoustics, healing acoustics. And when he was visiting, the tour guide took him to a portion of the ruin, Palenque Ruin, and entered one of the rooms, and they did some interesting sound healing techniques.
And we're going to hear about that today. I'm not going to talk about it right now because it's pretty fantastic. But I was thinking, well, how perfect that we have somebody who's done acoustic experimentation at Palenque. Now, Palenque is a huge ruin, and like many of the ruins that we visit today, only a small percentage has been excavated, and it's the pieces, and typically it's the buildings, pyramids, temples, and ball courts that are exposed to us. If they're really heavily covered and entrenched in foliage, trees, and bushes, and moss, unless there's a lot of money to excavate it, it's not done.
And so when we go to Palenque, when I was just there about a year ago, you're seeing consolidated ruins of temples. We were there, we went to the temple of the inscription, temple of the sun, temple of the moon, and it's a beautiful ruin, but you don't see the buildings, the pyramids as they were created and erected. And that's because the stucco has been worn off over hundreds, if not thousands of years. And so this is a big factor when you're a acoustic engineer trying to do testing to determine the reflective qualities of buildings. Anyhow, long story short, I have made some significant discoveries using Watson. Yes, and remember Watson is my AI assistant. And Watson has uncovered some phenomenal research into how the Maya projected sound.
And this is again a wonderful discovery. Because not only does it help and strengthen the interviews that I'm doing, and today's one of them, but what's really amazing is that we're finding out that the Maya actually developed some form of science around buildings and temples, probably even platforms, that shows a way to enhance and reflect sound. Now, we don't know to what level they developed this art because we don't have any documentation, but it really does look like they had some important developments, important discoveries, and what it shows is that they were working on shifting consciousness. Now, this is a significant discovery. The other thing that has come to light, and this is in the chapter as well, is they use psychotropic drugs to shift the consciousness during meetings, during gatherings, and on an individual basis.
Various types of plant medicines and seeds and tinctures.
So, this work is fun and expansive, and an eye-opener on so, so many levels. So, we're going to hear about this today with my guest, who is presenting a way to heal yourself, a way to understand your physiology, and ultimately to raise consciousness. So, today's program is Ascension Harmonics, and my guest is Jonathan Goldman.
We've got a fun one this week. I have just finished a chapter in my book, The Maya Controversy, that deals with archaeoacoustics, which is a new field that's just arisen in the field of archaeology. And it's funny because our guest today is a sound healer. And the book we're talking about today is Ascension Harmonics, which has to do with sound, obviously, but more than that, the qualities of sound and what sound can do. My guest today is Jonathan Goldman. He is the founding pioneer and international authority in the field of sound healing with more than 50 years of experience. And he facilitates healing sound seminars throughout Europe and the United States. He's a Grammy nominee with more than 10, or excuse me, 30 Best Selling Award winning recordings. He's coming to us today from Boulder, Colorado. And I got to tell you, it's great to have him on the program because it's synchronicity.
