‘Crystal of Time’ (COT) is the first of the 3 pictures that make up Susan’s Series II, Photo Collage Art pieces, the other two being ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ and ‘Tunnel Vision, Eye of Eternity’– picture.
These 3 pictures have been encoded in her latest Kaleidoscopic Film, ‘Tunnel Vision, Eye of Eternity – film’ that may be viewed at:

General Description of ‘Crystal of Time’:
The symbolism and outline shapes within this picture resemble the Tibetan Master’s ritual object, a 5-pointed Vajra, commonly known as a ‘Dorje’, or ‘Thunderbolt’.

Crystals:
Eight small white crystals run along the whole length of the picture, representing one octave of harmonic resonance, an octave being 7 different notes with an 8th and final one that has the same tone as the first, but in a higher scale of pitch.
Two large, light blue crystals cap each end of the picture, extending the number of crystals in ‘Crystal of Time’, to 10.
While the blue colour of these larger crystals represents the fifth element of Space, their shape indicates a 4-sided based pyramid with 2 of its 4 facets facing forward. The pyramids that cap both ends of the picture thus create a closed circuit of energy along the axis as well as indicate an amplification of the energy contained within it.
The Axis:
Right in the centre of the axis we can see a golden circle with 12 surrounding ‘petals’ that are indicating the array of harmonics that are actually being played out inside the central golden circle that we find expanded into a magnificent toroidal field in the second picture in Series II of Susan’s Photo Collage Art, ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’.
Along with the 8 white crystals, the golden circle brings the number of items sitting upon the axis to 9, an important number relating to a sequence of frequency intervals known as the ‘Factor 9 Grid’, as well as to ‘Naga Beings’ that are the overall theme of the photos covering the cloth covered cardboard shapes in this picture.
‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ is showing the cascade of harmonics flowing within this central core, emanating out from the golden circle in the centre, extending out along the axis to each end of the picture to become visible as light forms of shape and colour along the axis of ‘Crystal of Time’.
4 other Elements:
Designed in perfect Fibonacci golden ratio proportions, weaving throughout the picture to create a dancing, looping effect, these pincer-like, spiralling coloured shapes that are placed along the whole of the axis and in effect form its outer part, represent the 4 elements of Air – Green, Fire – Red, Water – White and Earth – Yellow.
However, these 4 elements that are considered as female in the highest yogic tantric traditions of Tibetan Buddhism have a male counterpart that are the 4 mental aggregates; form – yellow, feeling – white, perception – red, mental formations – green, that coalesce as a 5th, fully-fledged egoic consciousness – blue, that corresponds to the female, fifth element of ‘Space’.
Yet, as we see here embedded within each of the pincer shapes, both of these female and male attributes symbolise just one whole unified state, representing that of Supreme Consciousness, commonly referred to as ‘Awareness’. Interacting with each other, they create Appearance that is continually being judged by itself, then subsequently adjusting itself again and again to fit the result of this perceptive interplay, until a spark of Awareness may cut through the surface to shine on the illusion of it.
Here in fact, we see this meaning embedded in the precise curving of the pincer shapes, resulting in self-reflection that can only occur at these specific angles, and in this case points to the very way that egoic Consciousness becomes self-aware.
The Pythagorean Tetrad: 4, 3, 2, 1
We have already seen that there are a total of 10 crystals (8 small white and 2 large light blue) placed along the axis here in ‘Crystal of Time’, but now we can also find the Pythagorean Tetrad (Tetractys), a gem of hidden symbolisms carrying the important meaning of ‘harmonic resonance’ that is at the very basis of all rhythms of Time, with its ten points arranged as 1 upon 2, upon 3, upon 4, also embedded here.
Pythagorean Tetractys
In this way, in ‘Crystal of Time’ we may find:
- 4 places on the picture where the curls of the Fibonacci spirals meet,
- 3 x 4 element figures of ‘8’ in their active, neutral and passive roles,
- 2 extending arms of the picture, out of the golden circle at the centre; one representing form (gross) and the other, energy (subtle)
- 1 whole octave of harmonic resonance.
The Central Golden Circle:
The central golden circle is the heart and mechanism of the piece and is fully described in the symbolism of the second picture of Susan’s Series II Photo Collage Art ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ that here is only showing its outline features; the golden coloured circle representing our supreme essence of pure Light and 12 hexagonal shaped petals surrounding it.
Magnifying this essential space, ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ acts like a wormhole, allowing the 12 (petals) + 1 (golden circle) = 13 dimensional levels to emerge and disappear in a self-generated, toroidal movement, an eternal mechanism of perfect, self-referral that rises and falls along the natural imploding and exploding of pathways set in Fibonacci ratios.
Golden and Dark Blue Lines:
The golden and dark blue lines swirling around both sides of the golden central circle represent the mechanism of electro-magnetism, whereby the dark blue lines – male pertain to ‘electricity’ and the golden lines – female, to ‘magnetism’.
Each golden line touches the extremities of the small white crystals positioned along the central axis and move outwards in 5 stages that are measured in golden ratio increments, whereas the dark blue lines, which are made from a precise 3D mathematical expression, pierce through the crystals, as well as hug them with their shape.

Transformation of transverse/Hertzian waves into longitudinal/scalar waves:
On the one hand the entire shape of ‘Crystal of Time’ is objectively expressing a process of transformation from Hertzian Transverse waves to non-Hertzian Longitudinal waves that occurs when electro-magnetic waves overcome the speed of light and enter an entirely different dimension and manner of manifestation.
On a subjective parallel, this also points to how Consciousness itself is manifesting; as ordinary Hertzian Transverse waves experiencing various ordinary human mind states such as Anger, Desire, Jealousy, Pride and Ignorance that operate within certain bandwidths of wave frequency lower than the speed of light that are confined to moving along a timeline from A to B, taking time and effort to arise and then subside.
Finally, when Consciousness passes through the centre of its own vortex through perfect self-reflection, its Transverse waves emerge as Longitudinal ones. Now Consciousness experiences aspects of Universal qualities ‘beyond’ those that belong to the electro-magnetic spectrum, as properties of Light itself (Wisdom, Compassion, Bliss, Clarity, etc…) that manifest instantly as a mere pulsation, reaching everywhere without any effort, movement or time factor involved.
In this way, the shape, form and different aspects of ‘Crystal of Time’ dynamically show how we may transcend ordinary states of Consciousness through riding upon a correct series of harmonics that are capable of perfect self-reference from circumference to centre during which they accelerate, gathering momentum and charge, to finally implode and effectively get booted out of this particular octave of resonance at their central place.
The Circle of Immortality:
This process of dissolution to centre that is displayed in ‘Crystal of Time’ is also demonstrated in Susan’s first installation art piece, ‘The Circle of Immortality’, the structure of which is embedded inside the 3rd version of her film ‘Circle of Immortality’.
The process of the making of this film may be read in Susan’s book, ‘The Living Pyramid’.
‘The Circle of Immortality’ art piece
A full description of the meaning of ‘The Circle of Immortality’ art piece may be read in ‘The Pyramid Spiral, Dance of the Five Elements’.
Two conjoined Circle of Immortality art pieces, creating infinity
Here, the two ‘The Circle of Immortality’ art pieces resemble the ‘Crystal of Time’ picture in the sense that its slope angle is 60-degrees, which is necessary for Transverse waves to vortex to centre upon and become Longitudinal waves.
Here, where the apexes of the 2 imploding spirals meet at the centre, a pulsation of energy as displayed in ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’, comes into being, resembling the outline of ‘Crystal of Time’.
Photographs:
The theme of the photos is ‘Serpentine’ or rather, ‘Naga’ Beings that match the meaning of the sound, resonance and human subtle energies being symbolically explained here. For this reason, there are photos of dragons, snakes and creatures considered as Naga Beings taken by Susan all over the world, particularly in China, South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand), India, Central and South America, Egypt and the Balkan region, as well as ley lines and ancient stone circles of the United Kingdom.
The two extra lines down the centre of the picture:
Having completed ‘Crystal of Time’, in March 2019, Susan sent the final version of it to Dr Ibrahim Karim, founder of the science of Biogeometry that is a modern version of Ancient Egyptian temple science, who measured its energetic value and subsequently recommended her to add 2 small lines along the central axis of the picture.
He replied,
“In order to raise its overall vibration to a higher level, so that energy vibrating from the combination of shapes and lines in the picture is harmonising the time energy pulse at all levels of biological functions, achieving a holistic healing effect, by adding the two strokes, the reflection of the time pulse radiating towards the viewer is balanced, achieving a centering spiritual energy quality, as in sacred power spots.”
Subsequently, Dr Ibrahim Karim invited Susan to attend his Special Topics Conference at Victoria, Canada, in June 2019 and give a presentation about how she made ‘Crystal of Time’ and its meaning.
64 squares:
These are perhaps the most intricate of all symbols in the picture as they occur at the centres of the 2 smaller 4-armed pincer shapes, whereas the larger holds the central golden circle in its midst.
The number 64 is both 8 squared as well as matching the number of 3 lettered sequences that may be formed out of the 4 letters ACGT of our DNA, but also pertains to 9 octaves of Harmonic Resonance, (9×7=63, +1=64) where the 8th note of each overlaps as the first note of the next.
We can also see how the ancient system of the Chinese ‘Book of Changes’ or ‘I Ching’ with its 64 versions of trigrams that may emerge in any one moment when called to reveal the current situation and what may evolve out of it, as a tone within a range of 9 octaves of harmonic resonance, or 64 notes that through resonance may access that same tone in every octave, an infinity of seed sounds weaving the tones into appearance, solidifying into a certain manifestation through the dance of the 5 elements with their male mental counterparts, while absolutely changing its relative meaning with the subtlety of every tiny adjustment of input from multiple dimensions.
A series of presentations on ‘Crystal of Time’:
In a series of presentations to a Biogeometry group near San Francisco during February to April 2020, Susan describes how ‘Crystal of Time’ and ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ emerged over several years and how she subsequently embedded them into the timeline of the first version of the movie she was making about the Pyramid Complex in Bosnia, at that time.
In chronological order,
1. ‘Visions of Bosnia 2’
Synopsis:
At Susan’s 2016 ‘Universal Osmosis’ exhibition of her photo collage art in London, UK, a participant asked Susan what her next picture would be, to which she spontaneously replied, “A Dragon Face”.
She took various trips during 2016-2019 to prominent ‘Dragon’ places; Michael and Mary Ley Line, Cornwall – Devon – Somerset – Wiltshire – Oxfordshire, UK, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, India and Bosnia.
For a presentation at the 2017 Kailash International Conference, Susan wrote a paper on Naga Beings and their relationship to Mount Kailash/Manosarovar in particular.
Spirals; as a symbol of the dragon, her art piece ‘Circle of Immortality’ in relation to Perception, Awareness and Appearance, Time, the toroidal shape and golden ratio Phi angle regarding self-reference, figure of 8 as infinity.
Other aspects of ‘Crystal of Time’ described here include the Number 9, double tetrahedron and 5 elements, 4 of the elements being mixed up to represent the 64 possible combinations of ACGT as triple codons in DNA as the inner energies or ‘Nagas’ within, Pythagorean Tetrad, Octaves of harmonic resonance, Consciousness as Awareness and Perception, Fractals as thumbprints of creation, a fractal process becoming a 3D dragon shape, which also looks like The Caduceus.

Pythagorean Tetrad containing many key 3D shapes
Another Photo Collage Art piece emerges
From 2020 until 2024, Susan worked on bringing forth the third and final picture of her Series II of Photo Collage Art, ‘Tunnel Vision, Eye of Eternity’.
This is like the glove, or container that ‘Crystal of Time’ holding ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ at its centre, fits into and we see this meeting of these 3 shapes coming together in the main section of Susan’s envisioned installation device, ‘The Magician’s Jewel’.
As described in the Mayan Calendar and elucidated in the works of Jose Arguelles, here we see two different rhythms of Time, as ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ runs on the mechanistic, Babylonian Time structure of 12:60 that we still use as our global method of keeping time today, whereas ‘Tunnel Vision, Eye of Eternity’ runs on that of 13:20.
This means that when ‘Crystal of Time’ fits inside ‘Tunnel Vision, Eye of Eternity’, the latter acts like a Time Converter causing an entire consciousness shift as the rhythmic pulse of Time actually changes from operating at a rhythm of Mechanistic Time that distorts and stunts our full range of Perception, whereas that demonstrated by the Mayans and other earlier traditions brings us into full sync with all Cosmic Rhythms of Universal Harmonics, empowering our multi-layered system to operate correctly within its full range of harmonics, rather than being confined to the mere several that Mechanistic Time allows us to enter.
Although not really knowing the details of it at the time, as early on as 2019 while she was giving a talk about ‘Crystal of Time’ at the Summer Solstice Festival, Visoko, Bosnia, Susan had asked the question as to what a 3D working version of the Crystal of Time may be like.
‘Susan speculating about ‘Crystal of Time’ being
a potential ‘Time Healing Capacitor’ at 2019 Bosnian talk’
Having jotted down a rough sketch that Susan had labelled as a ‘Time Healing Capacitor’ in her notebook, ‘Crystal of Time’ was already revealing itself as having some sort of role to play as a mechanism of time conversion!
The main facets, symbols and shapes of all 3 pictures of Series II, ‘Crystal of Time’, ‘Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity’ and ‘Tunnel Vision, ‘Eye of Eternity’ are embedded into the timeline of the movie Susan made about the Bosnian pyramids at Visoko, near Sarajevo that is also entitled, ‘Tunnel Vision, Eye of Eternity – film’ (2024).
Next steps for ‘Crystal of Time’
A 3-dimensional version of ‘Crystal of Time’, as ‘The Divine Vajra’ has already appeared as the axis of Susan’s envisioned installation device, ‘The Magician’s Jewel’ that she predominantly designed to describe the meaning of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol).
