Near-death testimonies often include an encounter with a heavenly "Light." But to my
knowledge, no experiencer other than Lynnclaire Dennis (
www.mereon.org) has ever
brought back a detailed scientific description of the Light's complex geometric
structure and movement. First presented in her 1997 book entitled The Pattern,
Lynnclaire described in detail her amazing NDE and description of this Light. Many
years have passed since I first learned of her profound NDE and it remains one of the
most transcendental NDEs I have ever come across. Her NDE testimony has graced
the "Notable NDEs" section of my website from its very beginning. We continued to
stay in touch over the years and I continued to follow her work hoping what she
brought back from her NDE would develop into the scientific discovery we now know
it is - the very science of life and living. So when she invited me to write the Preface

to her new book, Discovering Your Youniverse and Living Plan Be, I jumped at the opportunity.
From the very beginning, despite her religious upbringing, Lynnclaire courageously refused to give this Pattern of
Light the ambiguous label of "God". She prefers to simply call it "The Pattern" and describes it as an all-connecting
pattern of Light - a three-dimensional mandala representative of time and space, and the energy generating
matter. Because she experienced The Pattern as pure Love, she has always maintained this to be the reason why
Love is all that matters. In simple terms, The Pattern is a knot; but not just any knot. The Pattern is the simplest
and most profound knot as you will discover in this article.
While Lynnclaire was still investigating The Pattern, she met Nechung Kuten
of Tibet who is the spiritual advisor to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He told
her The Pattern is a "terma" - a Tibetan word for "a hidden treasure meant to
be disclosed to the world at this time." Following his advice, Lynnclaire
published her NDE testimony and then took this geometric Pattern to the
world of science. Nechung Kunten knew scientists would have the knowledge
to confirm what the Pattern might be - a viable candidate as "the Source of all
creation" leading to a possible solution to the Theory of Everything - the
unifying principle of the realm of quantum physics. So without denying her
otherworldly experience, Lynnclaire placed The Pattern's geometric structure
into the hands of such scientists as a gift to humanity and the world. I have
done extensive research into The Pattern and what follows is my perspective on how this gift is currently changing
the world.

1. Lynnclaire Dennis' NDE and Mission in Life as a Catalyst for Change, for Love
On January 15, 1987 while hot-air ballooning in the Swiss Alps, Lynnclaire Dennis along with her fiancée and a
friend who was piloting their balloon, unwittingly climbed to an altitude of 17,000 feet causing Lynnclaire to lose
consciousness resulting in perhaps the most important NDE ever documented. During her NDE, Lynnclaire
encountered an incredibly beautiful and loving Light she instinctively understood to be "The Pattern" of all life. In her
book, The Pattern, Lynnclaire explains what she saw:
"And then, in one ephemeral glimpse, I saw the Pattern, the single strand
of the tapestry I knew was the essence woven through matter in every
reality. Its design was so complexly simple that I knew it could only have
been fashioned in the exalted intricacy of infinity. Seeing the Pattern, I knew
I was looking at life itself. It was light; it was time and space. It was the
energy of all matter, the heart of all that mattered. It was the very essence
of all being. It emanated from Source, illuminated to my mind by "the
Source behind the sun" as it moved in perfect harmony with all the
universe. As I prepared to meld into the Source of Light and absolute Love,
I knew with all my being that the Pattern was the core of all substance. I knew that the MUSIC
emanating from the Pattern was the song of my heart, a testament of unconditional Love. The
single step I had taken was the first in a dance that would take me into the single point of Infinite
Light, which contained the power of Love that would forever illuminate my mind and heart."
During her life review, Lynnclaire was informed of her mission in life - a rare occurrence in NDEs - because often
the experiencer is told they cannot know it or that they will be made to forget it upon return. In Lynnclaire's case, a
Being of Light she refers to as "The Presence" reveals to her a special mission she was to perform:
"The last person to walk on the stage of my life was a man unknown to me ... Although I was
certain this was not someone I knew, I could feel him at the depths of my soul. He began to speak,
communicating directly to my heart. The message he shared that day was engraved on both my
mind and my soul."
'Lynnclaire, you will be a catalyst for change, for love. You will bring forth, hold, and honor
remembrance. You will bring to conscious awareness the realms, realities, and remnants in
order that the spirit may remember the dance.'
"I knew this was Truth ... Yet, when he turned to leave, instead of following the others and walking
off the stage through the door to my left, he turned toward the right. As I watched him return
through the doorway from which he had entered, I clearly recall thinking this was important. Since
that day I've identified him as 'The Presence.'"
When Lynnclaire was resuscitated from her NDE, she knew this Pattern of Love and
Light had changed her life forever. But what she did not yet know was how this
transcendental Pattern was going to change the world.
On February 7, 1987, three weeks after her first NDE, Lynnclaire had a second NDE
that was more profound than the first. In her first NDE, she was "hauled back" to Earth
"against her will"; but In her second NDE she was allowed to make a choice while in
eternity. At this juxtaposition of time and space, she made a conscious decision to
return to her body, having no idea it would take four long and arduous years to remember exactly what it was she
had seen. Over the years she would have to put all her pre-existing beliefs on the "back burner" - the most difficult
belief to put away was her reluctance to trust the mystical aspects of her own being.
Then in 1991, Lynnclaire began having exceedingly clear, vivid and absolutely real recurring lucid dreams that
would propel her back the Other Side to view The Pattern again and again. This brought more subconscious
memories of The Pattern into her consciousness. She writes:
"Through my dream state, I had again made a sojourn into another realm, a dimension that usually
remains invisible unless a divine light illumines its presence... In my dream, I moved toward the
light, heading for the end of what I knew was the same tunnel I had voyaged through four years
before... Leading me gently by the hand she (her guide) assured me that I had nothing to fear and I
knew that I was not going to die... Hand in hand, my guide and I ventured to the end of the tunnel
where we looked out into the universe. It was there, standing on the precipice of eternity, that I saw
the fields of time and space merge. There, poised on the edge of infinity, I again saw The Pattern - a
matrix that was somehow singular yet as vast as the stars."
Lynnclaire's life review and aftereffects of her NDE indicates she is on a mission to be a catalyst for Love. Her
NDE validates how positive change is the by-product of this Love. I have no doubt her role in the future of this
planet will be significant as it is already turning out to be the case. For several decades now, Lynnclaire and her
team have spent time understanding how The Pattern can solve problems in quantum physics, mathematics,
psychology, politics, and education. There are also implications of other possible solutions that are, quite frankly,
mind-boggling.
2. The Geometric Shape of The Pattern as the "Mereon Matrix"
In developing the science behind The Pattern, Lynnclaire and others gave The
Pattern the scientific name of the "Mereon Matrix", hereafter referred to as "Mereon".
The source of the word "Mereon" was derived from "Mer-eon" where "eon" is a
reference to "epoch" - a measure of time. "Mere" in English means "small" and is
French for "mother" which gives Mereon a feminine connotation similar to "Gaia".
Implicit in "Mereon" is the word "merry" as in being full of joy. "Matrix" is a
mathematical term referring to an array of numbers, symbols, or expressions.
While Lynnclaire’s NDE is remarkable in and of itself, what is even more remarkable
is how she was able to accurately map such a structure as Mereon in its complexity
as visualized in 3D animations. Her experience with Mereon is unparalleled in how
scientists have reconciled it with proven laws and theories of mathematics and
physics. Their conclusions suggest the potential of a unique energy source arising
from Mereon's toroid field.
In 1995 Lynnclaire's description of Mereon's geometric structure became of interest to top scientists around the
world who were interested in its unique knotted topology and the geometrical structure it generates. Dr. Louis H.
Kauffman, the world-renown mathematician and knot theorist from the University of Chicago, joined Lynnclaire as
the second principle investigator. Dr. Kauffman’s research includes knot theory's relationship with quantum theory,
statistical mechanics, algebra, and combinatorics. He and others view Mereon as an algorithm that can used to
generate a large number of both living and non-living systems whether they are physical, mathematical, or
philosophical.

The Pattern
by Lynnclaire Dennis
Lynnclaire Dennis learned from a near-death
experience that within the Light exists a
geometric structure she refers to as "The
Pattern" - a knot of Light representing pure
love. The Pattern is the essence of all being
and represents all time and space; it is the
energy of all that matters. Lynnclaire learned
this Pattern of knotted Light is the Source of
all creation and the Love which generates the
forces holding everything, including atoms,
together. Lynnclaire's book will lead you
through her extraordinary journey of bringing
The Pattern into this world: through her three
NDEs and subsequent lucid dreams which
helped her to perfectly visualize the nature
and geometric structure of this amazing
Pattern that is the Light.
The book The Mereon Matrix: Unity, Perspective and Paradox is no longer available.
A scholarly book about the
Mereon Matrix: [Unity, Perspective and Paradox] written by Lynnclaire and her team was published in Elsevier.
In this book, the authors presented the "First Principles",
Mereon translated into twelve functional terms. Their goal was to define a rigorous General Systems Theory and in
the process demonstrate it to be "universal". Finding a connection between Mereon’s geometry and physics is
remarkable, especially because it originated from Lynnclaire, an individual having no knowledge of geometry, knot
theory or science. The Mereon knot's polyhedra structure originating from her NDE reveals Lynnclaire's greatest
ability is in Pattern recognition; In particular, the Mereon Pattern.
In general terms, Mereon has the shape of a trefoil knot which "lives" on a torus (a donut-like shape.) In specific
terms, Mereon as a whole is a dual polyhedra: one polyhedron inside another. The inner most polyhedron is
diamond-like; has 144 triangular faces and grows to 300. In its dynamics, light emerges from 48 vertices. The
outer polyhedron is watery, akin to a bubble; it has 120 triangular faces and grows to 180 faces. In the space
between the two polyhedra, the energetic interconnection between the two, ties into multiple Pattern knots.
The 120/180 polyhedra Mereon defines 10 tetrahedra; five cubes; five
icosahedron; five octahedron; one dodecahedron; five rhombic
dodecahedrons; one rhombic triacontahedron; and one scaled
icosahedron that "hides" the entire Matrix. With every "breath" Mereon
produces ten dodecahedra.
In my view, much of this is compatible with the knotted pattern
believed to define 10-dimensional space in Superstring Theory which
is one of the candidates of the so-called Theory of Everything.
Furthermore, Mereon unites all the building blocks of nature – not just
once as described above - but twice. It is also noteworthy how one perspective of the Pattern resembles the atom
as drawn and described by the great Danish physicist Niels Bohr. Mereon instantly transforms the concept of the
awesome power of the atom, which the world has long feared, into the Source that generates the forces we know
that holds everything, including atoms, together. That this Source can be called Love is truly remarkable.
There is an overwhelming consensus among experiencers, including Lynnclaire, that Love is supreme. Love is the
Source we came from; and where we return to after death. As Lynnclaire says, "Perfect is what we are, not
something any of us can do. Learning to be loving is, for me, what life is all about." I couldn't agree more. I view life
as an opportunity to understand divine perfection, goodness and love in action. Life is certainly a "school" and the
important lessons are learned through understanding relationships as the Mereon Matrix makes clear. Think about
how a simple smile has the power to start a chain reaction that changes the whole world. Lynnclaire has learned
that Love defined as "Understanding realized through diversity" is essential to Unity. It's product is how we can
spread love throughout the world. The opportunity to spread love to others is to understand that transformation
begins at home by first loving ourselves. The principles defined in the Mereon Matrix can help us learn to love
ourselves and others while improving our lives and changing the course of history for the better. The simple secret
to improving humanity is to make "loving the Universal" the measuring stick to measure our attitudes and actions.

Lynnclaire Dennis' Geometry: The Pattern.
3. Mereon as an Archetypal Solution to the "Theory of Everything"
When viewed from multiple perspectives, The Pattern reflects mathematical symbols and the iconic symbols of
the major world religions. According to Dr. Kauffman:
"The fact that you can see many different forms in it as you turn it around
makes it very beautiful for teaching purposes. You can say to people, 'Here
is something that if you look at it one way shows you the Star of David, and
if you turn it another way shows you the Yin-Yang, and if you turn it again you see the crescents
sacred to Islam, the symbol for infinity, and the conventional image of an atom. And they're really all
the same thing.' Mathematics is slowly teasing out those kinds of patternings by stepping carefully
and slowly through various structures that give rise to puzzles. Those puzzles become centers of
attention for people, and from them we begin to understand how everything is knitted together in the
universe."
Lynnclaire's revelation of Mereon as a pattern of love and universal connectivity is certainly proving to be true. Her
long assertion that "spirituality and science are one and the same" is in accord with other NDE experiencers who
are also returning with scientific discoveries. Indeed, Mereon is a catalyst for bringing about spiritual and scientific
unity. The co-authors of The Mereon Matrix published by Elsevier consider Mereon to be a bridge linking physics
and metaphysics, human conscience and consciousness.
Historically, one of the most significant mathematical discoveries was the Platonic
Solids, a well-known class of geometric shapes and polyhedra named after the
Greek philosopher Plato in whose writings they appear. These Platonic Solids, along
with the Kepler Solids, are the fundamental geometric solids for which all other
geometric solids are subsets. Researchers discovered that all of these solids are
also fundamental to Mereon's structure.
The science behind Mereon is in harmony with Pythagoras, perhaps the first great
mathematician, who believed the cosmos is divided into 10 heavens based on the
perfect number 10. In Jewish mysticism, God's entire creation is composed of 10
emanations of Light from the 10 utterances of God "Let there be" to create the world
by the perfect order of 10 along with a hierarchy of 10 angelic realms and the law of
the 10 commandments. The Biblical prophet Enoch in his writings (2 Enoch)
mentions that he ascended through the 10 heavens. In Buddhism, there are 10
levels of realization toward enlightenment and 10 directions of the Buddha's light to
ten Buddha-realms. Christian Gnostics believed in a cosmology of 10 heavens which they based on information
from the NDE of the Apostle Paul which they recorded in their scriptures (see The Apocalypse of Paul). In Islam,
an oral tradition exists where Muhammad journeyed through 10 heavens which was more than likely a NDE
because of his wife's statement that Muhammad's body remained with her the entire time. America's so-called
"sleeping prophet", Edgar Cayce, learned from his thousands of self-induced out-of-body journeys how our solar
system's 10 major spheres (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are
three-dimensional representations of invisible higher and lower dimensional afterlife realms.
4. Mereon and the Pattern of Synchronicity
When I wrote the Preface to Lynnclaire's book, "Discovering Your Youniverse and
Living Plan Be," I decided to give it the title of "Synchronicity" for two reasons. The
first reason is because Lynnclaire's life is filled with synchronicities; and from my
perspective, this reveals she has a continual connection with the underlying
Source that gives rise to the forces of nature. It reveals she is "caught up" in the
flow of an intelligent and benevolent universe. The second reason comes from a
personal and deeply meaningful experience I had involving a synchronicity
intersecting my life with Lynnclaire’s.
For those of you who are not aware of the term "synchronicity", it is a concept
developed in the 1920s by Carl G. Jung, the famous Swiss psychologist and NDE
experiencer. Synchronicity is an experience of two or more events that are
meaningfully related, but are apparently not causally related; and are viewed as a
meaningful coincidence. Jung developed the phenomenon of synchronicity after
meeting with Wolfgang Pauli - a Nobel Laureate who made important
contributions to the development of quantum mechanics. The physical basis of
the phenomenon of synchronicity is that time can be viewed as a dynamic connective link of patterns expressed
every single moment with equal patterns around the world aligning with each other. Pauli extended this principle to
the whole cosmos which can be perceived as one great system of patterns at equilibrium. In theory, whenever you
move an object, you change the entire universe in all-encompassing synchronicity.
My synchronicity with Lynnclaire came about in 1997 after reading her first book The Pattern (which I highly
recommend reading.) Her book and experience so astonished me, I spent a lot time afterward talking about it with
my parents. They were more than skeptical about NDEs at the time and concerned about my obsession with
them. Shortly after talking with them, they went on vacation to Monterey Bay, California. Upon returning home, they
sat me down and told me about an incident that occurred while they were there. The incident they described was
as stunning to me as much as the incident was stunning to them.
\While shopping in the city of Carmel they wandered into a book store and there, to their great amazement, was
Lynnclaire getting ready to make a presentation about her book The Pattern. Their vacation intersected with
Lynnclaire's one and only book tour. Their experience of synchronicity was a turning point for my parents as they
began to take seriously what I had been telling them about NDEs.
5. Bringing Mereon Into Scientific Reality
Lynnclaire first experienced the Pattern during
a NDE in 1987. She spent the next four years
struggling to regain her health and remember
The Pattern she experienced. This culminated
in a lucid dream (auspiciously on February 14,
1991, Valentine's Day) after which she was
able to fully recall and draw the Mereon Matrix
as a Trefoil Knot. That same year she began
using the knot as a model to understand the
flow of time and to gain perspective relative to
relationships and social organizations. Through
a series of amazing synchronicities, she spent
the 1992-1994 living in a monastic retreat
where she was able to fully reflect upon Mereon and her purpose in life before setting out to do what would seem
impossible to most people: launch a scientific investigation into Mereon. In December of 1995, Lynnclaire began a
quest to recruit scientists to quantify Mereon which she knew had important scientific implications. She sent
letters to the directors of every supercomputing center in the U.S., one of whom was Dr. Tom De Fanti, an
internationally recognized pioneer in visualization and virtual reality technologies. As the director of the pre-eminent
supercomputer center at the University of Illinois, the Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL), he recognized the picture
she sent was a special knot. De Fanti then contacted Dr. Louis Kauffman who became captivated by Mereon as a
knot he had never encountered before. So he contacted Lynnclaire and after their first meeting the scientific
investigation began.
In March of 1997, Kauffman and Lynnclaire presented Mereon at the University of Illinois before the American
Society for Cybernetics. According to the imminent cyberneticist and systems theorist, Gregory Bateson,
Cybernetics is a branch of mathematics dealing with problems of control, recursiveness, and information,
focusing on forms and the patterns that connect. Dr. Bateson, whose lifelong search for the pattern of patterns
connecting all other patterns, once said, "The pattern that connects is a Pattern of patterns." One of the most
profound discoveries of Mereon is that it is indeed "the Pattern of patterns."

6. The Sequoia Symposium: Calling the First Scientific Dialgoues to Explore the Pattern, the
Mereon Matrix
When the scientific investigation grew to a critical mass, Kauffman and Lynnclaire and
three others co-founded the Sequoia Symposium. In March of 1998, the Sequoia
Symposium's first formal conference was held in the San Francisco Bay Area to
investigate Mereon. An impressive group of fifty scientists and theorists from many
disciplines came from around the world to attend the conference. The meetings continue
to this day, although the last "formal" Sequoia Symposium was held in 1999.
Robert W. Gray is a mathematician, physicist and recognized expert in the geometry of
Buckminster Fuller, the renowned architect, systems theorist and futurist who coined the
term "Synergetics". Gray immediately saw a correlation between Mereon's system of
complex polyhedron and Fuller's geometric forms and designed software that generated
animated proofs validating Mereon’s geometric precision. Since 1998, Gray has modeled
thousands of images revealing how Mereon unites the fundamental, geometric building
blocks of nature. Lynnclaire's book, The Mereon Matrix, shows specifically how the core
center of Mereon matches the theories regarding the atomic nucleus.
