Here is a special photo, taken in 2004. Zee is sitting in his big recliner chair, spending an afternoon with his youngest son, his second wife and her friend from 'the Domain era'. They made a huge effort to come up every summer to spend time with us in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada, before venturing further north to visit other family members.

Zee entered architectural school at the age of 13, and became a very successful architect at 16. Here he is in the mid 1950's, with his Abe Lincoln beard, in Salem, Oregon. He wanted to design and share excellence. When he could only find people who wanted 'the cheap and the familiar', he went into the ministry (to restore what happened in the First Century) and then into physics. He was always willing to be the one to reach. He kept asking, what more do I need to learn, need to try, need to explore, to bring about change?!

His long hair was often a point of contention and for business he was often forced to keep it short. But during the whole 24 years I knew him, he only allowed the ends to be trimmed a few times. Eating potatoe peelings did not produce the effect sought. What he had in length made up for what he didn't have on top. His hair was so soft and fine. As a child, one aunt lovingly called it 'purr-fur'.

Another one of my favourite photos. Graduation photo from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We still have his gown from graduation day. Zee's 1,356 page thesis: Language, Literacy and Intelligence: Made For Each Other ! ? is available online, for free. He took three days to present his thesis to the United Nations' think tank: The Ecology of Knowlege Network (E.O.K.). Zee went on to chair the E.O.K. for five fall sessions. Zee applied for Ontario Graduate Studies, however, the supervisor for his B.I.S. thesis, Dr. Kiyoshi Izumi, was forced into retirement at age 65. Being as he was the only professor who knew enough about the subject to supervise Zee, Zee left school and founded the Domain organizations. Zee and Kiyo understood each other so well and loved each other so much. When Kiyo passed away, in the 90's, Zee mourned the loss of a very dear friend and allie. One can only hope that they are together now.

Zee's mother prepared authentic Mexican food, during part of his childhood. Chi Chi's Restaurant was as good as it got in Canada. The sombrero signifies that this was a birthday photograph (Dec. 13th), sometime in the 90's, during the "Domain era", no doubt with the Domain group gathered, in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Some of Zee's family's earliest photos: 1. Posing with his parents (His mother was a singer on the radio, his father was a very capable mechanic and drove trucks. He had Zee disassemble a car and put it back together again); 2. A toddler with his dog, Taffy; 3. Standing in the wading pool; 4. Posing with his parents again, at a later age; 5. riding his new bicycle with his foster-grandfather - Zee lovingly referred to him as "Dad". While traveling through the tunnel, during his near-death experience (NDE), in 1966, Zee reported meeting his foster-grandfather. Tractor beams of love, liquid love, flowed between them. During World War II, when it was difficult to buy a bicycle, his foster-grandfather found parts, assembled and painted a bike for his grandson. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, L.A. became the next obvious target, so the family moved frequently.

Dr. J. Gross listened to Zee speak at a conference, in Virginia Beach, in the late 1960's. Following the presentation, Zee and Dr. Gross became fast friends. Dr. Gross referred to himself as a 'hippie psychiatrist'. He supported many of Zee's technological ventures through 40+ years of friendship. Zee was able to be with Dr. Gross one last time, for Dr. Gross' 80th birthday, this past summer. These two had so many thoughts and ideas to share, about a wide range of academic, spiritual and technological topics. In addition to his Double Dorje pendent, Zee was buried with a photograph of the Buddha, supplied by Dr. Gross.

I am amazed I was able to catch this adorable moment. I was admiring the lake at Frontier Lodge, north of Elliot Lake. When I turned, there was Zee, having a conversation with an insect, on his T-shirt. Zee honouring, respecting and loving all life.

I have noticed frequently that whenever there is the physical loss of a person upon our planet; the echoes are there long after. Zee is such that person. I have never physically met him, but during the term of our written friendship I feel that I have known him for millenia and in the manner in which I believe - I know this to be true. With both he and Jennifer I have always felt safe in knowing that I don't HAVE to agree 100% in what they may say and write, but I always know they respect my opinion, and furthermore ALLOW me to have my opinion. That to me is a sign of greatness - and Zee has so many signs of greatness and he lives on. He dwells in our hearts and minds, and sometimes right along side - this is just a step on that long journey of time. Till our paths cross again amigo... Frank

In a period of 2 weeks my two greatest living heroes died, Steve Jobs and Zee, who I often wondered if Zee could equal Steve Jobs creativity if not add dimensions to what is already there. Jobs got international attention, Zee deserves as much and always chose to serve in secrete not to be seen by others and I know only a fraction of what he has done. Knowing Zee has been very exciting, an honor, and I don't know by what good fortune it has been that my path crossed this great man's. The world has suffered a great loss and we here are the few who know it. The world is lost, we all are, and looking for spiritual answers on how to follow our destines to be ready for that ultimate day. Zee gave us a direction and better yet an example to follow. Zee was ahead of his time, to put it modestly. He tried to teach quantum physics and spirituality to our present day world that could intrinsically improve it with information that he initially knew in the 1950's. He brought other world vistas, difficult to open to because of the everyday needs of our physical bodies. He wanted to free people's spirits by allowing us to see clearly and let go. Honesty, coherency and completeness we're Zee's hallmarks. He was an exemplar of one of his many axioms that made an impression on me such as "a half truth is a whole lie". I knew Zee to be sincere, sentimental and tributary. Although I spent relatively little time with Zee, he recognized what little I had done for him and I'm honored that I can be here today with the immediate family of a man that had impressed me so much from the first time I met him. The best way that I can summarize Zee's role as an inspirer is to quote a pop opera song by Andrea Bocelli called Rhapsody. I would like to liberate your heart, and I would like to pretend to fall, so that you could shine brighter, so that you could be closer, and in this way my spirit soars towards eternity Rhapsody. Zee made us all closer together in a beautiful way

This was the evening of our 14th anniversary, 2004. He had lived in Nova Scotia, in 1969, and ate lobster with butter all day long, while lecturing and attempting to begin what I refer to as 'Harbinger II'. Frozen lobster in Elliot Lake could hardly be compared to fresh lobster from the ocean, decades earlier, but he savoured every bite. It went very well with the cranberry juice he was drinking. He was rather disturbed that I had taken these photos, after he became vegetarian, but I thought the expressions on his face were just priceless. Oh, and the corny bib - so cute.

Such fond memories. In the fall, while living in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada, Zee and I would drive to Mississauga Park. It took quite a while to inflate the green chair, find the ideal location, drag the perfect rock over for his foot stool, arrange drinks and books and markers and pens next to him. And then to don that special sun hat. But it was so worth it. He was so so happy to read next to the water, while I took a walk along the beach.

Zee's photo was taken during the plenary stages of the Glastonbury Festival, in 1971. Zee was one of three directors, with Arrabella Churchill, Winston Churchill's granddaughter, and Andrew Kerr. Nick Roeg filmed the festival. A video of the festival is available online. Numerous musical groups performed, six sides of an album were cut. One of the performers was David Bowie. There was a pyramid stage built in the midst of the Glastonbury Torr, in the Vale of Avalon. In order to provide funding for the festival, Zee sold rare artifacts that he had found in Costa Rica, to Desmond Moriss, author of The Naked Ape. Some of the details for this festival are available at Wikipedia. Here is a link to one website, hosted by Bill Harkin, which does provide some explanation of the Festival and Zee's involvement in it. http://www.pyramidstage-glastonburyfestival.co.uk/section418508.html

(The photo provided was taken at the Ottawa Tulip Festival, Canada, around 1993. Zee and I were involved in business negotiations regarding concrete supplementation and completion, as well as multiple other life essential technologies, attempting to keep Domain Ecodynamics Research Foundation afloat. We were traveling back and forth between Domain, in Maryhill, Ontario, and Ray Jackson's home, in Ottawa, Ontario.) In 1966, a non-judgemental being of light met Zee, after he had died and passed through a tunnel. It asked him one question: "Did you do what you intended to do?" And today I say, "Yes you did, Zee. Yes you did!" There were so many aspects to Zee's life, so many contributions that he made, so many contributions he could have made, had an opportunity been provided. There is nothing available that can do him justice, however, here are online links to 21 GB worth of materials (writings, audio recordings, photos, artwork, etc.) that we have been able to access and preserve for your interest and benefit.
