van Tassel's Legacy

It was a rough Friday morning getting to the Integratron. I got a bit turned around on the drive, hit traffic and had to speed my way down the open roads to make the sound bath. When I arrived, I immediately felt like I was in a sacred space. I walked towards the large white dome and let myself in. I walked upstairs and saw that the whole class was taking pictures, minding the view and getting settled.

Our leader, had acquired the Intregratron back in 2008, if I remember correctly-- just before the stock market economy crisis went down! Encouraged by Huell Howser and her sister felt in their hearts it was where they needed to be; they wanted to preserve van Tassel's legacy, hard work and intentions. They opened it up to the public a few years after and have been able to sustain it in turn. I found the scandals around George van Tassel, the inventor of the Integratron to be the most fascinating thing our leader told us. He worked closely with genius and inventor, Nikola Tesla to design an electromagnetic space that would reenergize the mind, body and soul.

Below is a photo of Tesla and his coil.

Tassel's sudden death seemed quite odd. Especially when his family returned to find that all of his research and planning, including Tesla's notebooks, had vanished and the Dome was stripped of its parts.

What remains today is a simple wooden dome, comprised of 18 pillars built by ship builders in Washington, the rounded pillars are faceted together on their own-- no nails or glue used! Most interestingly in the center is a cement circle, which was recently verified by an architect to be capable of holding up "a school bus for a 100 years, at least." The sacred geometry within in the buildings physical form are no secret. And when one stands at the center of the room, just below the circle, they hear sound in a way that they have never heard. The room harbors and spirals sound vibrations so amazingly-- our sound bath was rejuvenating and soothing, you could feel the vibrations all around.

Our guide also spoke of the location, how the building stands just above where two rivers converge and there are other natural hotspots nearby, making it prime real estate for anything electromagnetic.
Though the Integratron is still much of a mystery, it is a beautiful notion that it is still being kept and shared with the world. Anyone and everyone is invited to see and experience the magic of van Tassel's legacy and we were beyond fortunate to have gotten to go. I certainly plan on visiting when I am next in Joshua Tree and continue to share it those that I meet.
