CONSCIOUSNESS, LIFE, AND INTELLIGENCE

 

NEPPE and CLOSE

CONSCIOUSNBESS, LIFE, AND INTELLIGENCE

These three words, each meaning something different, are intimately related. Do they, or can they exist separately? Or do they only exist in some kind of triadic union? As human beings, with physical bodies, thinking minds, and some level of awareness, to some degree we experience all three of them, and together, they comprise the experience of human existence.

 

Reality, for each one of us is what we experience directly: a dynamic combination of consciousness, life, and intelligence. To conserve space and time, let’s abbreviate this as CL&I. Each human being in existence experiences reality from the perspective of a combination of different levels of CL&I. The reality we experience comes into being with our conscious drawing of the first distinction: separating self from other, and the spectrum of finite reality stretches from the electron to the whole Cosmos, while our individual experiences of reality range from minimal self-awareness to Cosmic Consciousness.

 

In previous posts, based on years of research, I have laid out the thought processes, mathematical proofs, and discoveries, that have allowed us to express a number of conclusions about the meaning and purpose of human existence. In those 500-plus posts, the progression is from a single quantum bottom of reality, the elementary perturbation of the Source Field, the electron, up to holistic Conscious Cosmos. In this post, I will try to look at reality from an awareness more complete that that of the average human being, perhaps even from the top down, where the top is defined as the state of Cosmic Consciousness, which is the infinitely expanded awareness of everything that exists.

 

At this point in planetary time, very few conscious living beings on the planet have attained Cosmic Consciousness, and it is impossible for most of us to even imagine what that state might be like. But, given that even one such being exists, how would that being see the things we are experiencing? To begin with, that being would be aware of everything: all things, all space, all time, including the content of the consciousness of every finite being. I hasten to add that I am not such an ultimately enlightened being, but I am confident that they exist. I have experienced evidence of such beings, showing the way to the positive goal of human existence.

 

You may consider my remarks about what reality looks like from the viewpoint of states of higher consciousness as speculations, because indeed, that is what they are. However, these remarks are based on actual experiences, some of which I have written about in earlier blogposts and publications. Relevant experiences include significant personal glimpses of expanded states of consciousness from a very early age, meetings with people far more advanced than me, initiation into spiritual practices that help expand consciousness, and in on-going inspirations that are both intellectual and spiritual in nature.

 

It is clear to me that those who have ascended to the state of Christ Consciousness (the Son/Daughter of God state) are aware of the 3, 6, and 9 dimensional domains of finite reality, and are in contact with the Infinite; and those who have ascended to the ultimate goal of existence, the state of Cosmic Consciousness (the Mother/Father God state) are fully aware of the entirety of Cosmic Reality, because everything is contained in the infinity of their Being. The magnificence, joy, and ecstasy of these ultimate states of expanded consciousness are so far beyond the experiences of the average human being today, that they can only be expressed by conceptional extrapolations from the average human being, to most advanced person of our experience, and beyond.

 

These conceptional extrapolations in 3, 6, and 9 dimensions can be expressed minimally in a self-referential model of mathematical logic. The Neppe-Close TDVP is such a model. This is possible only because reality is structured logically, like an infinitely expanding mind: The Mind of God if you will. What follows is a brief description of conceptual extrapolation through 3, 6, and 9 dimensions and the infinity of infinities, and my attempts to express them in the inadequate finite terms of human language.

 

In the mathematical model of reality, human experience can be represented minimally by a functional expression of CL&I, where each of the three components, i.e., consciousness, life, and intelligence, are described by quantifiable variables of extent, content, and intent/impact in the quantized finite dimensional domains, and by qualifiable variables (called “qualia”) in the infinitely continuous domain, the infinity of infinities. The variables for C, L, and I can vary from one quantum equivalence unit to infinity. With this generalized conceptual model in mind as background, I will try to describe experiences along the path of consciousness expansion, without resorting to abstract mathematical procedures any more than appear to be necessary for clarity.

 

As individual consciousness expands from bare existential awareness to self-awareness, the realization dawns that all real objects, events and thoughts are at least three dimensional. Single dimensionless points, extended to one-dimensional lines, and two-dimensional planes have no potential for substantial content. They are over-simplified conceptual models of real things, all of which have both extent and content.

 

The average person on Planet Earth today is minimally aware of three dimensions of space, one moment in time, and consciousness from one single individual point of view. Within this conceptual domain, the individual experiences the changes of content and intent/impact as events happening in 3D space along a personal timeline. Thus, time is experienced in a linear fashion, and may be represented by a line connecting remembered past events with present experience, and an anticipated future. The contents of these events impact the body and mind of the individual conscious being in a variety of ways. Most people today are only aware of this five-dimensional domain, consisting of three dimensions of space, a one-directional dimension of time, and one quantum of consciousness for most, if not all of their lives.

 

Please bear in mind that in this discussion, all measurable variables are not dimensions. Dimensions are only measures of structural extension in the field of existing objects. Only three things have extension: space, time, and consciousness. Other variables, like matter and energy, are measured in variables of content. They may occupy measurable volumes of space, time, and consciousness dimensional domains, depending on density, but they are measures of content, not dimensions.

 

Without going into the details of how and why individual consciousness may be expanded to experience more dimensions of reality, I will attempt to describe what experiencing that is like. My descriptions are based on personal experiences, explanations from spiritual guides who are now living or have lived on the Earth, and inductive and deductive reasoning.

 

If the domain of awareness of an average conscious being is uniformly expanded, that being will have complete awareness of the domain of five contiguous dimensions, three of space, one of time, and one of consciousness. That person would have total awareness of all events, past, present, and future on his/her personal timeline. Please note that the average person today has only partial awareness of five dimensions.

 

Parallel universes, while possible, are not available to the expanding consciousness of entities existing in this universe before achieving expansion to the level of Christ Consciousness, because all universes of finite dimensional domains are quantized relative to the volume and mass of the smallest quantum object and the speed of light in that universe. Universes may exist parallel to ours, but those that do, exist at different vibrational frequencies, created by different multiples of the speed of light as experienced in our universe. This means that the energy necessary to project from our physical universe into a parallel universe is infinite. However, Christ Consciousness, the goal of individualized consciousness in this universe, is a state of awareness of everything in this universe, and Cosmic Consciousness, the Parent of Christ Consciousness, is aware of all possible universes.

 

Consciousness expansion from an average state of awareness toward Christ Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness is actually the definition of spiritual evolution. Human evolution is not just the improvement of physical health or mental efficiency, because the goal transcends the finite limitations of body and mind.

 

Spiritual evolution, unless accelerated by focused spiritual practices, advances slowly over a number of lifetimes, and even the expansion of individual consciousness to include complete awareness of the extent and content of the first three-dimensional domain of this physical universe is rare at this time. However, I understand that even though we are barely out of the dark mechanical age, the first 1200 years of the ascending 12,000 years of mental and spiritual virtue in this planetary time cycle, complete enlightenment in this lifetime, while extremely rare and difficult to attain, is possible.

 

Awareness of an n-dimensional domain is only possible from at least a partial awareness of an n+1 dimensional domain. This is an innate structural feature of conscious spatial awareness that is a geometrical invariance relating any two contiguous dimensional domains. This becomes obvious when projecting a quantum point from a plane into a volume or projecting from the three-dimensional domain of space into the four-dimensional domain of spacetime by the mathematical process of dimensional extrapolation. But it is one thing to perform calculations demonstrating this relationship, and quite another thing to experience it as an expansion of consciousness.

 

The mathematical projection through 3, 6, and 9 dimensional domains requires the progressive change of units of quantification from integers to “imaginary” numbers, and from those numbers to complex numbers. This reveals the fact that the logic of pure mathematics is not a human invention; it is discoverable as the logic of the dimensional structure of reality. The corresponding expansion of individual awareness brings profound differences in the state of consciousness of the individual at each three-dimensional expansion. The level of knowledge and understanding increases exponentially at the inter-dimensional junctures of 3, 6, and 9 dimensional domains.

 

As pointed out above, the expansion of individual consciousness within the spatial domains of one, two, and three dimensions, from partial awareness to the complete awareness of the dimensional domains and their relationship to each other, brings with it the profound difference between an average “normal” individual and an individual with a complete awareness of his/her past, present, and future timeline. Such an individual is said to have a “photographic memory” and precognitive “psychic” abilities.

 

The uniform progressive expansion of individual consciousness proceeds from three of space, adding three of time, and then three more of consciousness, but non-uniform and partial awareness expansion is possible, producing a range of individuals with a variety of cognitive and so-called “psychic” abilities. When individual consciousness is expanded to encompass complete awareness of five dimensions of reality, and the fifth dimension is one of time, the individual becomes aware of portions of two or more individual timelines, with knowledge of specific events on those timelines.

 

It is worth noting that, while it is possible to conceptualize more than three dimensions of space, our finite universe is structurally limited to three for individuals whose consciousness is not expanded to and/or beyond Christ Consciousness, because of physical relativistic and vibratory limitations, as mentioned above. The same is true for time and consciousness dimensions. The three dimensions of time and the three dimensions of conscious extent can be visualized as analogous to the three dimensions of space. But this analogy is only structural. The detail and complexity of the expanded state of consciousness associated with each additional dimension, is literally mind-boggling.

 

Knowing that knowledge is power, and power can be used for positive or negative purposes, we can understand why physical, mental, and spiritual reality is structured the way it is. Effective methods of consciousness expansion are difficult to learn, and cannot be accessed or understood by an individual until the soul’s consciousness is pure, purged of negative tendencies and capable of relating all activities to the positive goals of spiritual progress. The ability to gain true knowledge of reality and use logical reasoning to focus on understanding how to limit actions to those that will promote individual, group, and cultural spiritual progress, is known as wisdom.

 

By applying inductive and deductive reasoning to the parameters and characteristics of the state of consciousness we experience as human beings aware of the existence of three dimensions of space, part of one dimension of time, and one distinction of consciousness, we can conceptualize what the state of consciousness of an individual with full or partial conscious awareness of 6, 7, 8, and 9 dimensional domains of reality might actually be like.

 

Based on firsthand experiences of expanded states of awareness and information from individuals who have reached expanded states of consciousness that include the additional dimensions of reality totaling from six to nine dimensions, I can offer descriptions that will provide some idea of what those states of consciousness are like. But before I do that, it may be helpful to answer some relevant questions that people trying to understand TDVP have had. Perhaps the most interesting and puzzling conclusion of TDVP is summed up in the statement that Reality consists of all things existing and occurring within the structure of three dimensions of space, three dimensions of time, and three dimensions of consciousness. The most relevant question is generally expressed something like this:

“I know what the three dimensions of space are, but exactly what are the three dimension of time and the three dimensions of consciousness?”

My next blogpost will be devoted to answering this question.

THE MIRROR OF CONSCIOUSNESS

 

THE DREAM WEAVER AND THE MIRROR

What do you see when you look into the mirror upon waking up each morning? Do you see a façade hiding the real you, or do you see the state of your soul? What does one see upon looking into the depths of one’s heart when approaching the end of a life? Has one learned anything? Your progress and the state of your soul are reflected in your face and in your heart. You are a work in progress.

Whatever you see, it is what you have constructed for yourself. The substance from which you have constructed it is pure consciousness. That is the same for everyone; and, likewise, when we have become what we are being created to be, we are again equal, this is the way in which all human beings are created equal. It is blatantly obvious that we are not equal in every way in this world. We are not physically, mentally, and spiritually equal at any given point in life. We are all part of a work in progress.

So think carefully about what you are creating, and chose well: Don’t choose to create a place where malevolent thoughts lurk in the darkness of a hovel of depravity, dissipation, and defeat. Create within your consciousness, a temple of love and light, a palace for the Infinite, an edifice of brilliance, victory, transformation, and transcendence, because the world of your conscious construction is your home as long as you are a work in progress.

For analogy, think of the world as the canvas, and your actions as brush strokes, and the painting as the soul you are creating. Eventually, you must realize that you are the canvas, the brush, the paints, and the painter. But for the time being, the inescapable now, you are a work in progress.

Your consciousness is like a reflection of the moon on the surface of a pool of water, the slightest breeze ruffles and distorts it. It is only when you still the pool deep within your heart, that you can begin to see the real image. And that is just the first step on the journey of a million spiritual miles, to not only see a clear image, but to find the source of the image, the moon, the sun, the universe, the cosmos - and beyond. You are a work in progress.

You are the Dream Weaver. You will eventually learn that you are not just the fleeting persona that you have created through your actions and reactions, whether it has taken one or many lives in this and other worlds to create, you are the Reality behind your consciousness at any and every point in the process. Only when you realize this, will you fully understand that time and space are illusions. Space-time, as Einstein showed us, is not a universal framework within which everything happens, as it seems, it is just a reflection on the illusory surface of the pool of consciousness, an interface between your finite consciousness, that which you pretend to be, and the Infinitely Continuous Reality from which you have consciously separated yourself. It is malleable and insubstantial. It is an illusion reflecting the image of a work in progress.

If you feel proud or angry, or uncomfortable, or disappointed; perhaps even ashamed of what you think you are, remember that you have created what you are yourself, and that you can change it within the bounds of the laws of nature, if you want to. Recall that you are potentially perfect. You are a work in progress.

At some point, you may come to realize that there is nothing to be concerned about. Reality, and everything within it, is evolving according to universal laws, whether we are aware of them or not. At any point, the universe, and your experience of it, are exactly what they are supposed to be. Whether you know it or not, the universe is evolving toward an unimaginable goal, through a series of necessary steps, whether you know it or not. The universe is a work in progress.

If you just came into being when your body formed in your mother’s womb, you are a rarity. Most of us have been around much longer than that. The biggest secret of all, in this world - a secret willfully hidden and passively accepted - is the fact that we are immortal souls. We are born and die again and again, with memories of many lives and many loves, that fade like dreams in the harsh light of this life, as we embark upon another opportunity to be a work in  progress.

There is considerable shock and trauma when your soul is being born into, and confined in, a helpless little body, and after a while expelled from a sick and dying body, as the stuff of which that body is made is destroyed, or begins to decay and be recycled. That is what causes most of the forgetfulness. Most of the superficial details of the persona associated with a given body effectively dies with the brain cells of that body, but the lessons of the spirit remain with the soul to become the core of the next cycle of your work in progress.

For now, many, if not most of us, are enthralled with the drama of life on this planet. It is a captivating story, and even the misery and suffering of physical life, providing contrast, as it does, with the joy and ecstasy natural to Spiritual existence, are endurable. In fact, in my experience, the worse the suffering, the greater the joy of winning victory over that pain, against all odds! And once we realize that every new victory can be greater and more important than the last, we actually enjoy the drama of being a work in progress.

However, if we eventually tire of the endless cycles of physical reality, and begin to want to transcend the cycles of birth and death, of alternating pleasure and pain, then we begin to identify more and more with the eternal spiritual reality at the core of our existence, and less and less with the physical, mental, and astral personas of the ever-changing reflections on the surfaces of Reality. If we can see that the most important lesson to be learned is how to be truly free, and that the goal of existence is to wake from the dreams of our own making, then our lives will be transformed, the work in progress will be on its way to completion, and you, the Dream Weaver, will at last transcend your dreams.

SECRETS OF IMMORTALITY

THE SECRET OF IMMORTALITY

I don’t usually post on this blog unless I think I have something to say that I think may be of general interest. Since returning from Eastern Europe in mid-March, the task of moving from my home of nearly 30 years, out into the Ozarks and working on some short presentations about the immortality of the soul for Grig Oprea of Ars Moriendi, have kept me pretty busy. But when I sent presentation number 14 to her yesterday, Grig, saying that she wants me to stay healthy, suggested that I should take a vacation. I am now living on the edge of the beautiful Ozarks area that has been my favorite vacation spot, my recharge area for many years, and all I have to do now is step outside, and I’m on vacation! I feel so blessed!

I cannot think about how blessed I am without being eternally grateful to Jacqui, the love of my life for more than 43 years. In so many ways, she made who I am now possible! As some of you may know, she let me know, with clarity and certainty, after she left this earthly stage a year and one half ago, that she is still conscious. I am working toward getting a small book, simply called “Survival!” published soon. It contains the details of the double-blind experiment set up by Dr. Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona, during which Jacqui proved that she still exists. This may be the most definitive scientific documentation of the survival of the consciousness of a departed soul yet produced. I think it will give many doubters the evidence they need!

I have written about memories of past lives recalled by Jacqui an me in books and papers, and for those who don’t think that reincarnation is Christian, please read Secrets of the Sacred Cube, by Jacqui and me. Jesus taught about reincarnation, and it was removed from the scriptures by a Roman Emperor, not by spiritual Christians.

So, what is the secret of immortality? Live life as if you knew you are immortal, - because you are! You are your immortal soul, not the body that you now inhabit. That is not to belittle the importance of your bodily existence. This life is a gift from God, meant to give you an opportunity to learn and grow spirituality. Without an awareness of the reality of that opportunity, life is meaningless: “Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”! With that realization, life is wonderful.

One more thing: Love is the most real of all real things! If you love someone, and are loved in return, you are blessed. Love makes life worth living. It is such a blessing because it is a foreshadowing of God’s Love. To love someone unconditionally, body, mind and soul, and have the same unconditional love returned, raises your vibrational energy above that of this earth. It is preparation for what is to come: the ecstasy of Cosmic Consciousness. True Love allows you to live life as if something miraculous is about to happen every moment, - because it is! True Love is the sweet nectar of life, reflecting God’s eternal Love. I have been blessed to have that kind of love more than once in this life.

So, the secrets of immortality are open secrets, hidden in plain sight! All you have to do is open your heart to giving and receiving love. Then, every leaf, every blossom, every cloud frolicking across the blue, is filled with wonder. You behold God’s presence smiling at you from every rose, every daisy, and every daffodil. Identify yourself with that Love, not the frail, ephemeral vehicle of muscle, blood and bone that is your temporary covering in this life. But don’t denigrate God’s gift to you of a wonderful, beautifully functional body, honor the earthly vehicle of spirit that some think of as you, renovate it, clean it out of the dust and cobwebs of negativity, shame and doubt, use it as a Holy Temple. Dedicate it to the Loving Source of Reality. Light a candle of reverence to the Spirit that inhabits it, and live life to its fullest. This is the message from Grig Oprea and me on this beautiful day of our Lord, May 29, 2020,

TIME TO MOVE ON

IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON

People are tired of hearing endless analyses of the evil they are experiencing every day. So I will move on. Let’s talk about Life. I hear someone say: Boring! We all experience life every day. But do we really? Or do we just go through the motions of living, on auto pilot until we are eventually faced with the reality of our own death? Somehow, we don’t seem to realize that birth, life and death are all part of the same thing. Is the experience of birth is deliberately forgotten because it was awful, with traumatic pain and suffering, and is death feared because we think it will also be an awful experience of traumatic pain and suffering?

What if we could become a dispassionate witness, watching the whole process, without being emotionally identified with the physical form, which we imagine to be experiencing severe pain and awful fear of what may happen next? What would we learn? I have come to believe that we would learn that we are not just the physical bodies that we currently identify as ourselves. I think we would come to realize that we are actually immortal spiritual beings that happen to be inhabiting physical bodies for a brief time on this planet. And we might even learn why this is happening to us, and what the purpose of the whole process may be. If I am right, then our fear and worry about death and dying is a waste of time. There is no reason to fear death and the pain we associate with it. They are just part of the whole process of spiritual evolution.

So, let’s get on with life. No one, not even the rich and powerful, or the government, have the right, or the power to bully us into submission, unless we give it to them. We are Children of the Most-High, the Primary form of Consciousness, and responsible for our own fate. So let’s get on with it!

WHY DO WE AND OUR LOVED ONES HAVE TO SUFFER AND DIE?

WHY DO WE FACE A DEATH SENTENCE FROM THE DAY WE ARE BORN?

A Facebook friend has asked a question:

“Maybe you can explain the reason for the mandatory death of a person – you, your parents, your children and all others?” - Valery Chuprin

I Believe that this is an important question, and that there is a good answer to this question. Here’s my answer:

It seems that we enter this world through pain and suffering, that of ourselves and of our mothers, knowing not where we came from, or why we are here. But we soon see that other people, like mother, father, sisters, and brothers, relatives and non-relatives, all die sooner or later, and by inference, we come to realize that our ultimate fate will most likely also be death, by some form of bodily destruction: accident, disease or old age.

It seems that we are painfully born into an on-going story - not of our making - but in which we must act and interact, and over which we have little or no control, and from which we will depart in pain and suffering again. It is reasonable to ask: what is the reason for this? It seems very unfair.

One answer, put forth by some, is that there is no answer, no reason. Our existence is an accident brought about by random events, and our experience of the world is ultimately meaningless. Examples of this thinking:

Shakespeare’s Macbeth (Act II, Scene I) : "Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

About the fate of man, based on the second law of thermodynamics, the British philosopher Bertrand Russell said he believed that: “…his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling can preserve an individual life beyond the grave; that all the labour of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins.”

The attitude of Shakespeare’s character and England’s Nobel laurate philosopher, is echoed and updated to modern physics in America’s Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg’s statement: “The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.” This is by far the dominant hypothesis of modern science.

While, as a physicist, I respect Steven Weinberg and agree with some of his views, I do not agree with this conclusion that reality is meaningless. My reasons for not agreeing are both scientific and experiential. The scientific reason first: In 1989 I developed a system of mathematical logic I call the calculus of distinctions. Applying it to certain popular scientific hypotheses, like the big bang, expanding universe theory, and Olber’s paradox, I discovered some logical contradictions that led to the realization that the calculus of Newton and Leibniz was inappropriate for application to quantum phenomena. Deriving a three-dimensional quantum equivalence unit that I called the triadic rotational unit of equivalence (TRUE), and using it as the basic unit of a new calculus, I developed a quantum mathematics that I call the calculus of dimensional distinctions (CoDD). In this system of quantum mathematical logic, all descriptions of physical phenomena are in the form of Diophantine equations; i.e., equations whose meaningful quantum solutions are integral.

In 2008, I joined forces with Dr. Vernon Neppe, a true polymath, who, among other things is a neuroscientist, to develop a comprehensive new paradigm we call the Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm. In 2010, we began explaining some experimental observations that have no viable explanation in the current mainstream physical paradigm, such as why the elementary particles that form the atoms of the periodic table, have a ½ intrinsic spin, why the quark “mixing angle” is exactly what it is, and why quarks combine in threes to form protons and neutrons.  

Applying the CoDD to the description of known atomic structure in 2012, I discovered there would be no stable atoms without the existence of a non-physical form that organizes otherwise sterile physical particles into meaningful structures consistent with the logic of consciousness, supportive of organic life, the vehicle through which consciousness expresses itself in the physical universe. This was something new, something unknown to modern science to this point, so we had to represent it unambiguously, and Dr. Neppe suggested calling it “gimmel” the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet, for a number of reasons. The discovery of gimmel changed everything. It reveals that consciousness is just as much a part of reality as matter and energy; in fact, it is not only fundamental, it is primary in the formation of the physical structures of the universe. Importantly, as the primary form of the triad of mass, energy and mind, consciousness, like mass and energy obeys the law of conservation of the substance of reality. This means that consciousness, like mass and energy, can undergo changes, but cannot be destroyed. With consciousness as the primary form, guiding elementary particles to form meaningful physical structures, all evolution is driven by the mathematical logic of consciousness, known traditionally as spirit.

Now, I can introduce the second reason I cannot agree with the hypothesis that existence is meaningless: the conscious experience of spiritual phenomena. Many people, including me, have had near-death experiences (NDEs) out-of-body experiences (OBEs), and pre-birth memories that have been corroborated and validated by objective observation. Some have had transcendental or mystical experiences. The discovery of gimmel and its mathematical relation to consciousness provides the scientific basis for the study of such experiences and the functioning of consciousness in the physical domain, including real NDE and OBE experiences such as seeing objects and events while outside the body, that can be validated later, and the reality of the survival of consciousness beyond the experience of the death of the physical body. The discovery of gimmel puts consciousness into the equations of physics. Thus we have a new science that transcends physical science. Such studies and experiments are being conducted in a few laboratories around the world now.

So, to answer my friend Valery’s question: I explain the death of the physical bodies of our loved ones and our selves as part of the spiritual journey of individualized consciousness. I discuss this in some of my posts, and in  much more detail in Secrets of the Sacred Cube, a Cosmic Love Story, the forth-coming book by my late wife Jacqui and myself. The book is in the final stages of production and should be available shortly.

Why do we have to suffer and die? To learn, and grow spiritually, to transcend the physical. You may not remember, but you chose to be born, to experience the dualities of pleasure and pain. the one does not exist without the other. Identification with the physical body brings both pleasure and pain, Through this process, we learn that we are not the body, we are eternal spirit, growing from the confinement of the finite body, through Christ Consciousness, to Cosmic Consciousness.

TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS

To Know What Love Is

When you see the sunshine in the rain

And remember pleasure when in pain,

Behold the ancient in the new,

The clouds forming in the blue;

The brightest day in darkest night,

The warmest calm in horror’s fright;

The seed of hope in a babe’s first breath,

The warmth of love in a dear one’s death;

When you can see the spark that lives

In everything, 

You’ll know what love is.

ANSWERS TO THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

With the answer to the question: “Where did everything come from?” and the TDVP inclusion of quantum field theory (QFT) mentioned in my last post, we have the basis for explaining virtually everything about the physical universe, and are now ready to answer the even more important questions: questions that relate to the rest of existence, beyond the approximately 4.9% of the cosmos that comprises the physical aspects of reality.

To summarize the last post, “where did everything come from?”: Everything has always been there/here in some form. There is no evidence to support the idea that everything arose from nothing, or is dissolving into nothing. There is no absolute beginning or end, only change that happens in conformance with a system of logic that we call the laws of nature. The idea of nothingness comes from the mistaken concept of the absence of something; but there is no evidence that the stuff of reality has ever been absent. In fact, the law of the conservation of the substance of reality (an extension of the law of the conservation of mass and energy) excludes that possibility. Therefore nothingness is an illusion, and, like space and time, has no existence of its own. There is not, never has been, and never can be a state of absolute nothingness. It is now clear that nothing does not exist.

We are now able to answer the more important questions of existence, including: What is consciousness? What is Life? Why and how does it arise? And what is the meaning of life and the purpose of existence? These are questions that are of utmost importance to us as human beings, but that cannot be answered from within the logic of physical theory. These questions are examples of logical questions that cannot be answered within the axiomatic system within which they have been formulated. The fact that such meaningful questions do exist was proved by mathematician Kurt Gödel in what is known as Gӧdel’s Incompleteness Theorems. Because of the quantization of the stuff of physical reality (mass and energy), the logical structure of the physical universe is finite, and a finite logical system can be investigated using an axiomatic basis and deductive reasoning. The cosmos, however, is far more extensive than the physical universe. The cosmos is actually infinite, as can be demonstrated by the mathematical process of dimensional extrapolation. [An n-dimensional domain can only be observed from an (n+1)-dimensional domain.]

The logical structure of the physical universe is embedded in the infinite cosmos, and the logic of integral number theory reflects and/or is reflected in the structure of the cosmos. Without further ado, I will present the answers to these most important questions, as revealed by the Calculus of Distinctions of the Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm (TDVP).

What is Consciousness?

Consciousness is Primary. It contains within it the logical structure of the cosmos. It is infinite, and everything arises from it. Consciousness cannot, therefore, be unambiguously defined in terms of finite words or forms because such words and forms will always be contained within it.

What is Life?

Life is the manifestation of the logical structure of consciousness in the mass, energy and gimmel of the physical universe. Gimmel, the non-physical aspect of structure, is the organizing principle that allows matter and energy to reflect the logic of pure consciousness.

How and Why does Life arise?

The emergence of living organisms is as inevitable as the existence of quarks, protons, electrons, neutrons, and the atoms of the periodic table. Their forms are dictated by gimmel, just as the structures of elementary particles are. The different life forms reflect the range of logical possibilities existing in the structure of Primary Consciousness. The answer to why they arise lies in the nature of the logical structure of Primary consciousness.

What is the Meaning and Purpose of Life and Existence?

The meaning and purpose of the existence of finite organic life forms and individualized consciousness on this planet, and elsewhere, is the reproduction of Primary Consciousness. If you can think of Primary Consciousness beyond names and forms as God, then you are God in the making. Life and conscious experience are the processes by which this is accomplished.

GIMMEL, LIFE AND CONSCIOUSNESS

Copyright © Edward R. Close 5/10/2018

Reflections on Gimmel, Life and Consciousness

Windows are so very nice, for looking out at trees and sky,

But they present a hazard for our feathered friends who fly,

And may mistake reflections there for part of their reality,

And try to reach and perch upon a branch of an imagined tree.

I heard an impact on the glass, and looked, hoping not to see,

A small body lying on the ground, alas, another sad fatality.

As I watched this little life depart,

It took my breath and broke my heart.

Why God, I asked, why must this be?

Why do you brook this cruelty?

I imagined the small egg within the nest,

The feathered warmth of mother’s breast,

It seems so similar, you see,

To what happens to you and me.

This happy little winged thing

Left the nest, his song to sing,

To spread his feathered wings and fly

To know and love the earth and sky.

But, suddenly, he’ll sing no more,

He flutters now, at death’s dark door.

In a moment this spark of life is gone, - and so,

I must ask from whence it came, where did it go?

As I lay his lifeless form to rest,

I have to ask: God, is this a test?

And when my body turns to dust,

As nature’s laws decree it must,

Where does the ‘I’ that I am go?

I’m asking and demand to know!

That little bird then spoke to me,

Not in words nor in bird chatter,

But in a flash of clarity I see:

Life or death, it does not matter.

A deeper question I must ask:

Beyond a bird or human mask,

What are the subtle links that tether

Gimmel, life and mind together?

The message that experience imparted was: It is time for me to move on. For more than 30 years, I’ve worked to perfect the mathematical proof that there is a part of reality that is non-physical, a real component beyond mass, energy space and time, that integrates the experience of consciousness and spirit with the awarerness of the physical universe. With the calculus of dimensional distinctions, the true quantum math, and dimensional extrapolation, linking Plato and Pythagoras, Cantor and Fermat, Planck and Einstein, the proof is complete. A handful of professional thinkers have confirmed this. But materialist mainstream scientists will try to disprove this until they draw their final breath. I’m through with trying to convince them. As Planck so correctly pointed out many years ago: “Science progresses from funeral to funeral.” We can’t expect many who have devoted their entire lives to materialism to be swayed even by mathematical proof. 

Gimmel, the third form of reality, is neither matter nor physical force, but it is a fact; it is real. There are those who will understand it, and those who won’t. As my son Joshua likes to say: “It is what it is!” So, we must move on to the more important deeper question: What is the relationship between gimmel, and the realities of human experience: life and consciousness?

I held that tiny body in my hands and watched the spark of his life fade and flicker out. I’ve experienced the same thing with other animals, including human beings, when vital organs are damaged beyond the possibility of functioning as they had when in good health; but his time was different. I realized that after the signs of life as a bird were gone, gimmel still existed in the atoms of the body; otherwise, the cells, molecules and atoms would all decay into the mass and energy of sub-microscopic quarks, and the body would disappear. Of course, this does happen over time, as various stages of organic decay proceed, but life is still there, many days later, it’s just no longer the life that expressed itself as a bird. Many of the cells of various parts of that body are still functioning. What if, I could bring together the quantum units of gimmel remaining in the body to reassemble the broken bones of the neck, or the crushed muscles of the heart, would the bird come back to life and fly away? Or is there a way to add units of gimmel to a finite physical form by the power of thought?

I have proved that gimmel, like mass and energy, is conserved in any process, and that strongly suggests that consciousness survives physical death. 

There is no doubt in my mind that gimmel is the connection between consciousness, life and the atomic structure of the physical universe, and that the potential for conscious life existed in the mutable mass and energy of quarks even before they became the first protium atoms of physical reality. The important question now is to determine exactly how consciousness works through gimmel and the dimensions of space and time to form life-supporting organic structures. If we can answer this question, we are not only on our way to knowing God’s thoughts, as Einstein wished to do, but we will also begin to know how the mind of God works.

If this of interest to you, then stay tuned, because this will be my focus henceforth.

THE GIMMEL RING

THE GIMMEL RING

You’re born, you live, you strive, you die.

A few years, one or one hundred, - why?

Is there something you can learn about?

Before the flame of life burns out?

To save you from ignoble strife

That seems to be your lot in life?

Is it written that you must strive,

Work, eat and sleep to stay alive.

But, there must be something more than this,

Is there Love or Peace or Joy, -  Eternal bliss?

If not, then why waste our breath

To chase a dream that ends in death?

But, what if I could prove to you,

Through sweat and tears and drops of blood,

That hid beneath life’s residue,

There is a diamond in the mud?

What if I could prove beyond a doubt,

That in every atom’s murky quark,

Lives something none can do without:

The Gimmel Ring’s eternal spark,

shining light upon the keys

That open up the ancient doors,

Beyond which lie Eternities’

Peace, Love and Joy forevermore –

Would you be surprised?

LIFE, DEATH AND ETERNITY

LIFE, DEATH AND ETERNITY

Who, or what, and why am I?

Why must I live, feel pain and die?

Drawn by the magic of desire,

To feel the sea, earth, wind and fire,

I dream in space, in ice and stone,

I wake in tissue, blood and bone.

And physical forms do decay,

So, born of flesh, they pass away.

The abyss of nothingness we do fear,

As life fades away and death draws near.

But, from fear of death I rebound,

For in the depths of me I’ve found:

‘I am Conscious’ does persist,

And nothingness does not exist!

I’ve chased the quark into its lair,

And found that Spirit does not expire.

As cyclic as electron spin

Consciousness will rise again.

So, Death I no longer fear,

I’ll shed not one single tear.

I’ll endure life’s every daunting test,

I’ll love and laugh and sleep and rest,

Until God’s Love embraces me

-- In the bosom of Eternity.
