Lokāḥ Samastāḥ Sukhino Bhavantu

The Wheel of the Year

The four albums correspond, not by accident, to the four seasons of the temperate year, the four directions of the medicine wheel, the four classical elements.

Walked across one calendar year, the cycle teaches the body each season's medicine in the album that names it. Walked as oracle, the right woman finds you on the day she finds you. Both are real. Most readers, in the long form, walk both ways.

The world has 64 cosmic gateways.

The Meta Pets map sixty-four archetypal pathways from Shadow through Gift into Essence — sixty-four ways consciousness moves from constraint to freedom. Each woman in this cycle carries one of the sixty-four cards. You will see her cosmic creature beside her.

This album cycle embodies all sixty-four in the lives of sixty-four women from sixty-four cultures. Maya, Tibetan, Yoruba, Sami, Maori, Wixárika, Ainu, Sufi, Kabbalist, Druid. Each one carries a mantra — Sanskrit, Tibetan, Sufi-Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Lakota, Yoruba, Pali, Hawaiian, indigenous — chosen because it is the phrase she would actually need the morning her ticking clock starts ticking.

Each song fuses one lineage instrument — kora, ney flute, didgeridoo, charango, shakuhachi — with the hypnotic Deva Premal lineage of pristine female voice and breath-paced repetition.

This is not music about culture. This is culture singing itself awake.

And this work is not for women only. The cycle is built for every body that breathes — for women, for men, for every gender that has ever held a shadow it did not know how to put down. Men, in particular, walking this cycle apprentice themselves to a receptive intelligence the modern world has long undervalued. The work begins with honoring the mother — biological, ancestral, planetary — and proceeds through the deliberate listening to the silenced voices these sixty-four women carry: indigenous sacred wisdom, the inner voice within the intellect, the war-displaced feminine, the extracted-from caregiver, the child and the Earth, elders and the memory of the beyond, the channeled, the complicit, the artisans of quiet infrastructure, the erased mystics within science. Men will completely evolve when they begin, deliberately and at scale, to listen. Not as charity. As an act of completing themselves. The Sixty-Four are sixty-four teachers in audibility. The ear is the first organ of justice.

A Lineage of Lineages

Sixty-four is not arbitrary. It is the number of hexagrams in the I Ching, the number of codons in the genetic code, the number of Yoginis around the Goddess in the great open-air temples. The Sixty-Four Women cycle, the Meta Pets system, and the World Happiness Foundation honour an ancient lineage of sixty-fours.

Modern contemporary expressions of this lineage include Human Design (Ra Uru Hu), the Gene Keys (Richard Rudd), and the Dream Arc (Rosy Aronson). The Sixty-Four Women cycle is, in essential structure, a sister work — each archetype embodied in a real or composite woman, in a real culture, with a tuned mantra at her heart. Walking both deepens both.

Honoring the Three Kingdoms

Each woman walks beside three orders of being. Her Meta Pet — a cosmic animal, a synthesis of three real creatures. Her flower from the Mother of Auroville's catalogue. Her stone from the lithotherapy lineage.

A council of 256 beings walks the cycle — or 384 if you count each cosmic animal as the three real creatures it integrates.
64 women · 64 cosmic animals (192 real creatures integrated — birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, insects, marine beings, every order of the kingdom) · 64 flowers · 64 stones. Each Meta Pet is a chimeric synthesis — a cosmic animal in the lineage of the Greek chimera, the Persian simurgh, the Aztec Quetzalcoatl, the Vedic Garuda, the Chinese dragon, the Australian rainbow serpent, and the Mexican alebrijes dreamed by Pedro Linares in 1936. The medicine of the archetype is held by three creatures together. Especially close in spirit to the Meta Pets are the Mexican alebrijes — the brilliantly-colored dream-creatures first conjured in 1936 by the Oaxacan-Mexican carver Pedro Linares, who in fevered illness dreamed of impossible animals being shouted at him by a forest, and woke to carve them in copal wood. Each alebrije a unique synthesis. Each one a guardian. Each one carved with attention to the dreaming.

Tap any woman in the explorer to see her sacred kin. May all the kingdoms be honored. May all the relatives be greeted by name. May all beings be free.

How to Read This Cycle

The architecture, named clearly

64 Women
Each from a real culture, walking a real shadow→gift→essence pathway, carrying a real mantra in her own language. The human family teaching by example.
64 Cosmic Animals
Each Meta Pet is a chimeric synthesis of three real animals — in the lineage of the Greek chimera, Persian simurgh, Mexican alebrijes. 192 real creatures integrated across the 64 cosmic animals (three per archetype).
64 Flowers
From the Mother of Auroville's catalogue of more than nine hundred flowers, each given a specific spiritual significance. One flower per woman, chosen for the alignment of significance and essence.
64 Minerals
From the lithotherapy lineage. Most chosen from the woman's ancestral land — Lakota Catlinite, Maori Pounamu, Bhutanese Lapis, Diné Turquoise, Hopi Petrified Wood. The slow consciousness of the planet itself.
To walk one woman is to walk her flower, her stone, and her cosmic animal — and inside that animal, three real creatures. Tap any card. Sing the mantra. Sit with the four kingdoms together. The cycle is yours.

The Foundation

A gift from the World Happiness Foundation

The World Happiness Foundation holds UN ECOSOC consultative status and works toward the mission of 10 Billion Free, Conscious & Happy by 2050.

This mantra cycle is a companion to the metaphysical novel Nine Paths to One and to the broader Meta Pets contemplative practice. Each woman, each mantra, each instrument is offered as a doorway. The album travels with you. The cycle continues after the song ends.

Lokāḥ Samastāḥ Sukhino Bhavantu May all beings everywhere be happy and free.
May the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life
contribute in some way to that happiness, to that freedom, for all.
