“…the first prophecies were the words of an oak.” Plato, Phaedrus
FATHER OAK
Throughout the old European world, Oak has a principled reputation as the king of trees. But this ancient and pervasive attribution does not stop there. Greeks, Romans, Celts, Slavs, Germanics, Luwians, Hittites, Hurrians, Jews & Vedics all considered Oak to be an altar of the Sky Father: what we in the West call God. Indra, Thor, Zeus, Perun, Jupiter, YHWH and Taranis were all thought to “inhabit” the oak. Even the Sioux peoples of South Dakota have legends of a Thunder God within the Oak. As a keystone species supporting over 500 other creatures, Oak is a teacher of what it means to embody divinity, integrity, power and responsibility, in service of community.
THE DIAMOND TEMPLE
The Diamond Temple is a sacred structure nestled atop Sulfur Mountain in upper Ojai, a place where ancient and modern wisdom converge. Perched high above thousands of acres of undeveloped land, it offers breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset, surrounded by majestic oak trees and the profound stillness that is so rare in today’s urban world. This sacred space is dedicated to deep connection with the intelligence of the natural world, while also serving as a hub for integrating science and technology to create new tools and skillful means.
The Diamond Temple is more than just a physical structure; it is a birthplace of creation and a sacred space of unification. Here, individuals come to uncover and experience the power of their inner essence and to bring it into form. It is a place of discovery and transformation, where all parts of the self unite. As an anchor point for the elements, the temple bridges the unseen with the seen, merging inner and outer technologies, as well as the feminine and masculine forces. It represents a union of the earth’s ancient wisdom and the ever-evolving technologies of the present, creating a sacred nexus that serves as a catalyst for personal and collective evolution.
