Bio for Jacob Aman
January 1, 1985, Seattle, Washington
I am a musician, artist, gardener, environmental scientist and ecological designer. My heart feels a deep connection to the vitality of this planet and its inhabitants, and I am moved to tears regularly. I consider this a hallmark of being on a pathway toward sanity.
My music background began as a youth playing viola / violin, then later keyboards, drum kits and hand drums. I started making electronic music in 2002.
From a dream that I had in January 2017:
I had one of the most beautiful and memorable dreams of my life last night. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been going to bed at 8 PM and waking up at 4-5 AM, with a lot of dream sequences, some of which have been bizarre and unpleasant (the psychic milieu of this time). But when I awoke from this dream I had a huge smile and a sense of kinship with all of humanity and earth.
I was at a celebration in Santa Cruz, California, near the beaches of Aptos. There were a couple hundred people, old and young gathered together; people I knew and completely unfamiliar. Later in the day the wind began to pick up, and the group ventured east into the Santa Cruz Mountains at some participant’s huge tract of land.
The land had a great open field, with huge redwood trees encompassing. The couple hundred of us all gathered into a big circle and we began dancing and doing tai chi type movements, and moving about the circumference of the circle. As we moved the wind began to pick up, dust swirling around us, and spiral wispy cloud formations emerged in the sky above. Children were laughing and no one was alarmed. Then some of the group started to dance into the sky, climbing above into the spiral with epic strides, moving dust and wind and casting gentle showers outward. We were airbending and moving charge, and it was rising from the earth. Spiral lightning was exploding from around us, but scintillating delicately around our forms. The entire scene looked like a Quidditch game, but without the brooms and with great body form moves and elemental response. I joined in and experienced great elation, which I even feel now as I write.
As the dream faded, a mixed-race asian and black man asked me, “When will we do this again?”.

Celestial Guardians: Arcturus and Antares
Arcturus in Boötes and Antares in Scorpius represent profound cosmic polarities that have captivated civilizations across millennia. These brilliant stars, among the brightest in our night sky, embody the eternal dance between opposing yet complementary forces.
In Western mythology, Arcturus serves as the guardian of the Great Bear, eternally pursuing Ursa Major across the heavens. The Greeks called it “Guardian of the Bear,” while Antares, the “rival of Mars,” glows with fierce red intensity at Scorpius’s heart. This crimson giant was named for its resemblance to the war god’s planet, representing passion and transformation.
Eastern traditions reveal deeper spiritual connections. Chinese astronomy places Arcturus as the Azure Dragon’s horn, symbolizing spring’s awakening and yang energy. Antares anchors the Black Tortoise constellation, embodying autumn’s yin wisdom and the cycles of death and rebirth.
Together, these stars represent the balance between creation and destruction, light and shadow, growth and decay. Arcturus’s golden light speaks to aspiration and spiritual ascension, while Antares’s ruby fire teaches us about embracing transformation through life’s challenges. Their eternal opposition across the celestial sphere reminds us that wholeness comes through integrating both illumination and mystery in our spiritual journey.
