JACINTA TOBIN is a Darug Woman who believes music is a wonderful form of education and life. She has been writing songs for the last five years and is currently releasing her first debut CD 'Yarramundi and the Four Leaf Clover' which is a musical story of the Darug People. Jacinta was born believing she was an Australian/Irish with Spanish descent, now knowing that the Spanish descent is infact Aboriginal descent.
In early childhood, Jacinta lived in areas such as Ballarat which is her place of birth in the year 1969. Jacinta's family then moved to Nullumby and Darwin in the Northern Territory. Due to Cyclone Tracy in 1974, Jacinta moved to her Mother's home, the Darug land where her family still resides.In Jacinta's life she has been a bartender, fishingwoman, manager and then was incourage to get a formal education. Jacinta now has a Master of Social Ecology and has been lecturing at University of Western Sydney, for the last three years in Aboriginal Studies. Jacinta is also trades under the name of "DARUG ALLOWAN" sharing Aboriginal knowledge in schools, private functions and community events.
JACINTA'S THOUGHTS AND THEORIES:
All my life I have had strange and wonderful phenomena's happening to me. At the time I thought I was non-indigenous and you will notic that alot of my thoughts and theories have been influenced by my past. I have include these pictures for hopefully they will be able to say the thousands of words I wish to tell you.
I beleive that we live in a Multi-dimesional reality. This can also be veiwed as the "Dream Time" it is the past, the present and the future. This reality has constanly given humans signs and signals on the basic shapes that create the complexity that we live in. As Aboriginal people we have an understanding that the land was created in true perfection and you should leave the bush the way you found it.
Below are a few pictures from Nature showing the complexity and the beauty of a beautiful science made by the Creator.
The repetition of these sacred geometries are subtly placed in ceremony and ritual either design of ceremonial space or effects of energetic fields from the earth, moon, sun and stars as above so below. Keppler and Mandelbrot have both tried to capture this complexity.

A knowledge has been held by the ancients for 40 - 60 thousand years placing signals and signs encoded through ancient writings. These writings can be found around the world on what is known as "Gridlines" or in Aboriginal terminology, "Songlines."
I used electro-magnetic fields in discoving my songline connections for many reasons. Animals follow electro-magnetic fields and Aboriginal People followed those animals, which were the totems and signalers of ceremonial times. These songlines of the electro-magnetic field phenomena coincide (even today) with mining sites and Aboriginal Sacred Sites. Furthermore, these electro-magnetic fields match up with places like the Flinders Rangers, Stonehenge, The Great Pyramids, The Bermuda Triangle and many more. These places are also areas were people believe that sound waves or mantras or chants have the most powerful effects.Lorraine Mafi Williams (Aboriginal Shaman) from the Bundjalung Tribe, it is a plea to scientists to help stop the mining. Aboriginal Elders will teach scientists the secrets of how the cosmic energy comes to Earth and how it effects the Earth and all on it.
"The story of the Green Ants Dreaming tells of these green ants that live underground in the areas where the Uranium belts lie. They are considered cannibalistic, they're supposed to feed on meat. So they must never be disturbed...Now the mines have started they have left huge gaping holes in the ground where the fumes come up. The earth is so dead around these mines, there's no life, nothing! When the cosmic beams come at certain times there is no Uranium left to receive and radiate it...I think the Elders were more worried about the circle of energy around the Earth than the mining itself. They saw there would eventually be a breakdown in this earth-grid with the energy all gone and eventually the whole Race would be gone." 1986 - pp24 - quote from Lorraine Mafi Williams...

In "Singing the Land, Signing the Land," Watson and Chambers write about sacred sites and provide Aboriginal meaning by saying, "A path might be symbolized in other ways, the flight of a mosquito, a bird or a bee, the swiiming of a shark or a fish. In social terms a journey links the groups of people in whom the Ancestoral beings vested land and it links them in particular ways. Each land owning group is linked with others by at least one major songline, two such songlines are usual and more than two frequent. These journeys are routinely re-created in narrative song and dance in Laynhapuy. The metaphors which form the foundation of the social order are common and everyday knowledge amongst Yolngu. Ancestors also created the form of the gurratu recursion by which all people are connected to each other and to the land. Using gurratu and the narrative metaphors, ordered and patterned life is maintained in the Laynhapuy, in the same sort of way that it has been maintained for possibly forty thousand years" (1989, pp49 - 50)
CONCLUSION:
Maybe by this stage of the game, you are wondering why a musician would be telling you about these theories. The reason being is that music is part of the big picture. Music not only affects the body, the mind and the emotions but it also has a great effect on the earth itself.
"August 87's Harmonic Convergence was such an international sacred sitess festival. Millions of people world-wide helped physically generate a geosynchronous network of light, re-aligning the crystal web of the planet so that it could be fully empowered by the rising energy from the Galactic Centre (the Heart of the Galaxy, home of a billion-billion suns). The crystal network controls and regulates the morphogenetics field. DNA and the evolving form of human conscious on the planet. The Harmonic Convergence began a five year period of RESONANCE whereby the Earth and its life forms being to reconnect with the galactic harmonics as the vibrational frequency of the Earth rises. At certain key energy points, sacred sites in the Earth's energy grid network, an influx of light began on August 17 activating specific energy fields as outlined in detail in the Hopi Prophecy. As these "chakric" fields accelerate their rotation, increasing the harmonics of the earth's frequency, we gradually merge with universal harmonic order." 1988 :27 - Arguelles, J.

* THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A MAP FROM "ACCELERATED LEARNING" by Colin Rose - Dell Publsihing New York 1985...
The idea of this page is to introduce an old but new way of learning. Being a child diagnosed with dislexyia, I know how it feels to be excluded in the classroom. With music, it incorporates both sides of the brain therefore, not being predjudice to those receiving the learning. Traditionally in Aboriginal culture, music was used as a form of education and I choose to use that form today. May my songs ring in your heart and in your mind and may this create true and lasting reconcilliation with the both the land and the universe.
