I spoke with Bora and got a reservation to attend his lecture on traveling to Turkmenistan (AM47 Point of Elemental AIR) and Iran/Central Asia to be held at the Fisherman's Wharf Marroitt in San Francisco on 26 Feb 2012. AM47 was scheduled to be in Turkmenistan, just north of Iran on 29 Feb 2012, but is now aiming for 28 Feb 2013. And at just 3 days off the mark!, I suppose this will have to suffice in place of traveling there this year 
Synchronicity is magic. Yet again, I must find a way to incorporate Alchemy and metaphysics into a threateningly mundane public forum...Let it be. I'll need to revamp the presentation of the AM47 website and update all the pertinent info in regard to the Point of Elemental AIR... the opportunity is exciting! I've been looking for a contact in Central Asia for quite some time, and to have found one in my backyard is magic. And he's a folklorist too!!
This is from somebody who constantly posts about something called "sidereal astrology," and has a blog devoted to the subject. He's always talking about this grand yachting adventure he has planned, in which he will sail around the world with a bunch of Burning Man type artists and mystics to the Earth's various energy vortexes, where they will perform "magickal" rituals. Also, a documentary will be filmed along the way.
The only problem is that no millionaire has stepped forward to loan him a boat and finance the "expedition."
I have no idea what "AM47" means, but he's constantly talking about it. The AM part apparently stands for "AlterMan," but I don't know what the 47 is for.
He also uses the phrase, "AM47 point of elemental air" quite often.
