Beautifully put, Lee. To me Zone 00 seems an "internal" one and Zone
6, an "external one", both "non material". Someone suggested Zone 6
might be considered the human consciousness "edge zone" - this may be
a new twist on an old theme but it also may have tangible meaning
imparting considerable enlightenment. You mentioned "resonance"; I
would suggest that the word "induction" might have some meaning too as
far as energy transfer is concerned: from the "out there" through Zone
6  to Zones 5 - 1 and finally to Zone 00. 

Rich has made a good point that 00 and 6 should not be added to 1-5
as they may be very difficult for many to utilize as they learn and
practice permaculture. I tend to agree but one has to start somewhere
and 00 and 6 were originally conceived as zones. Could they be renamed
and placed in the permaculture literature as additional concepts,
along with zones, patterning, etc.? What could they be called? These
concepts really need to become part of permaculture. Someone should
write a book on this (quick, before it becomes doctrine or religion:-)
