Macrocosm...Microcosm...

Macrocosm...Microcosm...We are both Reflections for each other...We are all responsible BEings and it is our flowing with our intuition that helps us along the way. Caroline Myss, the medical intuitive and author once mentioned that the Macrocosm or the world outside of ourselves, is simply a reflection of our own inner BEing, our personality patterns...and what we really need to evolve and forgive in ourselves...and others. What is that old saying, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones...or he who is without sin cannot throw stones. The Macrocosm has been teaching us to throw stones, which is totally unproductive towards a Peace loving society. At the same time...this is a time that we have most Gratefully Greeted, we have long awaited this opportunity to be free of negativity and seeing the end of wars and destruction, hunger and poverty, Environmental crisis...This is a time to find SOLUTIONS and Love for one another. Not carry on old traditions of greed, corruption, pollution...and the list goes on...

Thankfully, there has been alot of Disclosure and Transparency in the world the last decade and many seed planters for progressive, productive thoughts and ideas.

The motives, the secrets, the agendas have actually shined a Light on our own Microcosms as well, I know this has been my own experience and in observing life all around me. At the same time that the Light has been blinding and bright, I am most grateful for this illuminating of all the Dualities on Planet Earth. May we NOW KNOW a TIME when all is Transparent, so we can move past this old crumbling paradigm of dysfunction in dealing in our own individual lives...and dealing with other countries, cultures and religions...without the judgment and throwing of stones. Honoring Diversity as our brother and sister...and a gift for Transformation. We are all in this together.

I am feeling, like many of you are feeling, like we are in a new time of LIGHT...we ALL feel it, which is so totally awesome. I remember in the seventies, while I was in my twenties, how I hoped that the world would come to a more peace-ABLE way of BEing. Now, dualities revealed, we reconcile them more than resent them. We welcome our own changes, we are in perpetual change. We are Loving it more and more...now we really KNOW, this is our Freedom.

Now, when the Macrocosm reflects our MASSES of LIGHT in the GRID... NOW...we can SEE great Grassroots Change...It is already happening....it is happening in every moment.

So deLIGHTed to be on this Light beam with all of you...Just going with the Flow in every moment...as best as my own process, I ALLOW. Allowing more in mySelf...Allowing more in others...I am FREE-er than ever before!! <3 <3 <3 Thank you macrocosm for shining the Light, so we may SEE ourselves in the lesson or INsight <3 <3 <3

Our Geodesic Dome ~ From the Ground UP!


   DREAMHILL DOME PROJECT
Construction History


In the year 1999 walked up this hill of raw totally undeveloped land and decided this was the place
There was no roads, no nothing here. So a road was made up to the top of this hill called "Dreamhill"
The view from the top of Dreamhill in 1999

Pad cut into the top of hill in 2000

2004 Construction begins with laying out house orientation

Proper soil compaction is done and then footings are put in place

Then insulation and plumbing are installed

Under the slab insulation is then installed to prepare for radiant tubing

Then steel mesh is laid over insulation

Radiant tubing is then tied the steel mesh and connected to manifold

Concrete is then poured with pump by Ron & Rosie

The monolithic slab is now complete with all under slab conduits in place

Dome kit arrives in Oregon on truck all the way from Florida

Then transferred to land and stacked awaiting assembly

Riser Panels are first put up

Then the first level of framing rib system is erected

Then the second level is connected

Then Bill McGlamery (he built 43 of these - would have been very hard without him) connects the final rib to the pentagon at the top

Now the Hexogonal and Pentagonal triangles go into place

Mortar (the mud) is then placed into seams of wire mesh

Table setup in the dining room as we work

Bernie operates the 90 foot crane and picks up the last of the 300 lb triangular panels



Thomas guides crane operator for placement

then shoves it into place

Eric finishing off the top of the dome

Support structures kept in place in picture window while cement hardens

View through the large 20 foot picture window from the inside

Finally all 65 triangles are in place awaiting cement in the seams

On 5-30-2004 Rebecca stands in front of the dome with all triangles put in place


A specially constructed cement bucket tram is made to get cement to workers on the top

After all seams have been C-clamped and mudded with corner beads

Final steps are completing the skirts at the bottom and the dormers before sealing the dome
The next step would have been sealing the dome for leaks with bonding agent
then cement sealer and then painting before winter hit
Cement Sealer - by Sherwin Williams
Paint - Outdoor Acrylic Latex - off white color to reduce heating
We didn't make it in time so to protect the drywall from mosture and then freezing
we put a 150 foot trap and roped it down to keep the rain and snow from penetrating the dome
Of coure the worst winter in years hit in 2004 with a couple feet of snow so nothing will happen until Spring

In Summer of 2005 we completed the dormers ready for painting.

In September of 2005 the sealing and painting were done by Rich Cassidy and crew

The end result turned out great


We love the color and now the next step is the Interior Framing
