This quantum nonfiction narrative trilogy chronicles the author's personal evolution as literary impresario. Guided by the Aquarian icon of the hieros gamos, the author began the inner/outer journey inventing a quantum literary style of inner/outer reflection, culminating in nonfiction narratives smashing the. boundary between disciplines.
Journey to the Hieros Gamos was launched as a public project in 2006. Then author received the Margaret Fuller UUWF Award to write a hieros gamos handbook. The unexpected outcome was Woman in the Twenty-first Century: Margaret Fuller and the Sacred Marriage, involving a three-year OMBODIMENT™️ process inspired by an excavation of Fuller's literature to discover sacred geometry symbols of the hieros gamos.
This led to the mining of the author's own literary corpus exploring a quantum style marrying past/present/future. The embrace of Uncertainty led to a personal invention of a quantum style sourced in the hidden hermeneutics in the literary corpus of the Mother of American Literature.
JOURNEY TO THE HIEROS GAMOS consists of three volumes covering three decades of experimental underground writing:
-
ANATOMY OF AN ICON: A Sexual History is the premiere experiment of quantum nonfiction narrative smashing boundaries with auto-ficiton and metafiction. Written as the origin of the AQUARIAN GESAMTKUNSTWERK at the fin de seicle two decades prior to her formalization of the Science of Magic. The book details the inner spiritual evolution of a reluctant icon by an invented form of narrative connecting inner and inner experience through the hierarchy of vibration manifest in the seven chakras. The book is organized in to seven chapters, each chapter devoted to a love experience reflecting a stage of evolution indicated by the chakra. This early experiment in organization of quantum life experience chronicled in literature influenced Dr. Streitfeld's invention of the Science of Magic methodology utilizing the occult sciences as apparatus of hermeneutics both in interpretation and co-creation.

MISSING JAMES FRANCO 3.0: Nine Days at Berlinale 65 explodes all publishing genres to create a quantum narrative of a grail quest bookending the limited chronological time frame of the Berlinale 65. This experiment in quantum narrative chronicles the emergent icon of the hieros gamos entering the medium of international film. The ubiquitous presence of the film superstar eluding the critic's personal gaze results in surprising discoveries regarding the unknown Aquarian co-creation of the ultimate meta personality of the post-postmodern era. The physical "so near, yet so far" absence of the screen projection creates a void in which past loves churn up the quantum narrative propelled by desire. Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben provides a running commentary on the yet unamed contemporary quest.

AQUARIAN QUEST: HOLY BRIDE/HOLY GRAIL "co-creates” a hermeneutics integrating inner/outer into mythic spiritual adventure interweaving arts journalism and scholarship with a personal grail quest tracking the universal icon emergent at the twenty-first century dawning of the Aquarian Age. The final volume of the Journey to the Hieros Gamos trilogy formalizes the Aquarian grail quest into a pioneering new form of "quantum literature" as a pioneering style of inner/outer narrative. A literature sourced in the universal desire for perfect union beyond projection was the very theme certain to be rejected by the kulturindustrie. Yet, this final nonfiction volume rfeveals the actuall quest was not publication, but the construction of a sovereign architecture of an alchemical alembic of quantum literature ready for release under the Grail configuration (known as the Barbault Basket) catalyzing the 2026 Cultural Renaissance. At this time, the former stack of unpublished manuscripts (The Philosopher's Stone Series 2026) were sculpted into the phenomenology of a new holistic art theory in the yet-to-be conceptualized AQUARIUS RISING scholarship trilogy, Philospher's Stone premiered in the 2007 Alchemy of Love: In Five Elements, the pioneering project supplying the art for the AQUARIAN GESAMTKUNSTWERK as phenomenology producing an ontology of a unified hieros gamos co-creation between Heaven & Earth.

JOURNEY TO THE HIEROS GAMOS chronicles the inner/outer quest for the holy wedding of divine masculine & divine feminine realizing the Aquarian icon of Self. The series "co-creates” a hermeneutics integrating inner/outer into mythic spiritual adventure supporting two decades of arts journalism and scholarship tracking the universal icon emergent at the twenty-first century dawning of the Aquarian Age. This literary experiment is a non-fiction quantum narrative spanning two decades of creative transition—from literary impresario to art critic and curator (1990-2010).
HIEROS GAMOS is the Aquarian Age icon manifest in Dr. Streitfeld's multimedia as a corporal experience in a seventies encounter group. The mystic passage as adolescent evolved into the adult quest for the Twin Flame Union. Inspired by the sacred wedding of form/content in the Sumerian language, the Aquarius Rising exploration of a new universal form of holistic literature organized by a central holistic icon is the foundation of the interactive multimedia enterprise, Aquarian Gesamtkunstwerk (1997-2025).
The Journey to the Hieros Gamos Project applies Science of Magic apparatus of hermeneutics into non fiction quantum narratives incorporating interdisciplinary explorations interpreting the twenty-first century icon in the contemporary consciousness.
THE HIEROS GAMOS was forecast as the Aquarian Age icon emerging from under the crashing quantum wave in a historic twentieth-century collaboration between quantum physics (Wolfgang Pauli) and archetypal psychology (Carl Jung). As the Aquarian daughter of the founder of the Human Potential Movement catalyzing the sixties sexual revolution, Dr. Streitfeld initially experienced the icon as an encounter group peak experience.
The mystic opening evolved into the adult quest for the Twin Flame union, placing the author's mystical personal of SHIVA LISA PAUL as the interpreter of the global twin flame movement. Ultimately, the immersive exploration inventing a new universal form of holistic literature organized around this central icon was inspired by the Sumerian language reflecting the religion of the Sacred Marriage of Heaven & Earth at the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia.
