SOLVING THE ULTIMATE PUZZLE

 

SOLVING THE PUZZLE OF LIFE

“The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” – Niels Bohr

 

Introduction

What’s it all about? Well, actually, it is in fact, about YOU! But don’t misunderstand; it’s not about the little egoistic you, sometimes feeling befuddled, struggling like a hapless worm to survive in a hostile environment. It’s not about any of the fake personas that we have created over the course of many lifetimes to cover up the horrible fear of oblivion that grips every emerging conscious lifeform, and from which every ego so desperately desires to escape. No, not any of that nonsense. The real reason that this planet, our solar system, and the billions upon billions of galaxies and stars of the physical universe, expanding into the cosmic majesty of Infinity, and all of the experiences that are available in life, death, and beyond, exist at all, is for the sole purpose of providing you, me, and every soul in existence with opportunities for the real “I Am” to emerge from the muddy darkness of material existence into the Eternal Light of Spiritual Reality, with the full realization of our true nature as bright-shining Immortal Spiritual Beings, filled with the Love and Light of God.

In previous posts, I have taken great pains to point out that the real geniuses of science, the paradigm breakers, Albert Einstein, and Max Planck, have actually agreed with the transcendent realized masters of spirituality and believers in the perennial philosophy, when they said:

 

“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. … We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind.” And “Space and time can claim no existence of their own. … What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to a point of visibility. There is no matter. …Time and space are not conditions of existence, spacetime is a model we have developed for thinking.”

 

In this post, I will carry this line of thought further, going beyond the limits of the binary thinking of contemporary science, into the tertiary quantum logic of  the Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm (TDVP) and the Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions (CoDD). It is high time for humanity to break out of the materialistic binary thinking of dimensions of space and time, common for the past 3,000 years, and expand into the three, six, and nine dimensions of the quantized reality of Space, time, and consciousness in which we actually exist.

 

Let’s think about this for a minute: When we realize that science is just beginning to emerge from a period of time that included the very lowest point of mental and spiritual virtue on this planet during the last 24,000 years, as explained in The Holy Science by Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, it becomes apparent that binary thinking is a natural mode of thought and communication for the citizens of the planet when the ability to see any deeper into reality is lacking in the consciousness of human beings in general. As thought began to progress beyond the basic requirements for physical survival, and spoken language was slowly developing again for person-to-person communication, drawing, and marking on clay tablets, wood and stone was a natural way to record and supplement memory, which was unreliable and often distorted. Even up to the present time, communication is mostly two-dimensional, whether displayed on the printed page or the screen of a computer. But binary thinking and two-dimensional visualization leave a lot to be desired.

 

The low point in the current planetary time cycle of Planet Earth occurred in 499 AD, but some of the knowledge from the highest point of mental and spiritual virtue in this cycle, which occurred in 11,501 BC, was preserved in stone monuments and recorded in multi-dimensional forms of communication, the remnants of which barely survived in ancient libraries to be interpreted by a few advanced souls who reincarnated for that purpose during the darkest period of planetary time from about 700 BC to 1700 AD. Binary logic is sufficient for mechanical calculations dealing with the concepts of mathematical singularities, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional conceptual domains, but it is woefully inadequate for dealing with the realities of three or more dimensions. The science of the future will have to operate on the basis of tertiary logic and the most basic fundamental operations of arithmetic, i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, that we are taught as children, will have to be redefined for consistency with the multi-dimensional relativistic quantum calculus that is needed to describe the quantized reality in which we exist.

 

This transition to tertiary thinking is never easy in any time cycle, but it will have widespread application in logic, mathematics, and every field of science. It will also prove to be a necessary transformation in the thinking of the average citizen of human society before we can move beyond identity politics, tribalism, and bloody warfare. Current materialistic binary thinking is not only holding scientists back from even realizing that there is a need for a fundamental change in thinking, but it is also threatening to divide us in a way that could set civilization back, at least temporarily. all the way back to the stone age.

 

Fundamentally, we have to get beyond the barrier created by Bertrand Russell when he broke away from the deeper spiritual thinking of his mentor, Alfred North Whitehead, and promoted binary logic in the theory of types, with the axiom that a statement had to be either true, false, or meaningless. Ironically, the theory of types, even though it identified three types of statements, actually locked us into binary thinking because the third type was discarded as ‘meaningless’. The British logician George Spencer Brown corrected this error and published it in his book Laws of Form in the 1960s. He introduced the fourth type of statement, reflecting the self-referential imaginary numbers of pure mathematics. He described the situation as follows:

 

“In ordinary algebra, complex values (which include real numbers and the square root of minus one) are accepted as a matter of course and the more advanced techniques (of science and engineering) would be impossible without them. In Boolean algebra (and thus in all our reasoning processes) we disallow them. … At the present moment we are constrained, in our reasoning processes, to do it the way it was done in Aristotle’s day.” Brown included complex values as fundamental in the development of his calculus of indications and showed how complicated logic problems could be solved much more easily with application of the primary calculus he developed, than with contemporary binary thinking.

 

Russell acknowledged Brown’s discovery, but unfortunately, the scientific community was not ready to accept it yet, and  Brown suffered a fate somewhat similar to that of Georg Cantor, mentioned in my last post. The fact that people like Ram Das, Timothy Leary, Alan Watts, Charles Tart, and Ed Close were interested in what Brown had to say in the 1960s and 70s, caused most mainstream mathematicians and scientists of the day to shy away from his monumental work as “too esoteric” to be considered seriously. I have relied on Brown’s brilliant work and acknowledged his influence many times, from around 1980 until the present. When my research partner, Dr. Vernon Neppe tried to contact Brown to explain how we were using and extending his work in 2013 or so, he was uninterested. He was busy watching the Wimbledon tennis finals at the time, and asked in an irritated tone; “How did you get this number?” I decided to try to contact him later, in 2016, only to learn that he had passed away in August of 2015, at the age of 93.

 

I need to point out that Laws of Form did not deal with the physics of extra dimensions, even though the similarity of ‘the Form’ to atomic structure was noted, and it was suggested toward the end of the book, that leaving and reentering the form at deeper levels of dimensionality might open the door to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality. But an even more important implication of the quantum calculus of TDVP based partly on Brown’s calculus of indications, with the discovery of gimmel, is the way every conscious being may understand the mystery of life and his or her place in it.

The Puzzle of Life

In one of his most popular songs, John Denver sang a catchy line that goes like this: “Up in the morning, I’m as fit as a fiddle; coffee’s in the pot and cakes on the griddle. Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny, funny riddle! Thank God I’m a country boy!” That expresses one attitude toward life, but of course there are other possibilities. But I submit to you that this is what life is all about: solving the riddle of life and existence. What does it mean to ‘solve this puzzle’? It means resolving the paradoxes and the many polar opposites presented to us by reality, like existence and non-existence, the infinitely large and the infinitesimally small, consciousness and oblivion, stupidity and enlightenment, and life and death.

 

At some point, we have to realize that solving the puzzle of life is what we are here for, and clearly a single lifetime is insufficient for anyone to accomplish this. Many well-known people, and millions of ordinary folks, have memories of past lives that have been verified, I have memories of several, myself, but, despite the fact that the majority of the human beings on this planet profess belief in the transmigration of souls in some form, Western Civilization labors under the delusion that we are given only one life. While it is true that while portraying a specific role scripted by the DNA in the bodies we currently occupy, we have this one life to live, our souls are immortal. This truth was contained in many ancient records that survived the dark ages in the form of what we now call gnostic religious scriptures, but the Roman Emperor Justinian I forced the Bishops of the Catholic Church to remove all explicit references to the immortality of the soul from their teachings under the threat of death, for purely political reasons in his Anathemas against Origen in 553 AD. I have written about this in some detail, partly from past-life memories of that time, in Secrets of the Sacred Cube, a Cosmic Love Story, published in 2019.

 

As most of my readers know, I began my academic career as a student of the basic science of physics at the age of fourteen, inspired by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. I found the undeniable utter simplicity and experimental validation of physics totally captivating. Fortunately, as Einstein and Planck did, toward the ends of their lives, I outgrew that fascination with physicality very early in this life, realizing that there is much more to the reality we experience than matter, energy, space, and time. About a decade ago, a vocal critic of my work developing the mathematics underlying the simplicity of physics, because he was impressed with the way I applied the principles of relativity to the dynamic physical characteristics of the electron, declared that “You may have been a physicist once, but you are no longer a physicist!” Of course, he did not mean it as a compliment, but he was right. I had moved beyond the simplicity of materialism in my thinking, long ago.

 

“A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself.” – Niels Bohr

 

Laws of Form, Mathematics of Consciousness, and the Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions

The way I expanded my thinking about science and life in general, already many years ago, was by embracing the logical paradoxes and contradictions of mathematics and resolving the epitome of the opposites listed a few paragraphs above: “existence and non-existence, the infinitely large and the infinitesimally small, consciousness and oblivion, stupidity and enlightenment, life and death.” The logical method of the resolution of opposites is something I wish to convey to you in this blogpost. In other words, I would say that in order to solve the puzzle of life and existence, one must adopt the attitude of the Danish Quantum physicist Niels Bohr, who said:

 

“How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.” He also said: “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.”

 

The same attitude was expressed  by G. Spencer Brown, a British author and logician while discussing his book Laws of Form and his calculus of indications at a meeting in the Esalen Institute in Big Sur California in 1973. He explained to a small group of people on the leading edge of modern thought at the time that the major theme of his work was that the imaginary numbers of Boolean algebra are not really imaginary. Instead, the square root of minus one is a mathematical paradox that expresses the self-referential nature of reality and provides a way to formally expand logic beyond the limitations of simplistic binary thinking. One of the people privileged to attend that meeting, Cliff Barney, pointed out the fact that the square root of minus one is a paradox similar to the self-contradictory statement “This statement is false”. He explained it this way:

 

“The square root of minus 1 is a logical paradox; if the "1" is negative, it can't be a square, and if it's a square, it can't be negative. Nevertheless, designers use √-1 in equations while building space ships that real men then fly in. Brown, in his days as a computer engineer, used the imaginary Boolean values to devise a safety system for British Railways that operates by counting and uncounting the number of wheels passing a given point. Real trains use this system, big wheels run by faith and little wheels run by the grace of God.”

To be clear, the Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions, the mathematical heart of the TDVP of Close and Neppe, is the logical completion of the transformation from binary thinking to tertiary consciousness, that was started by G. Spencer Brown in Laws of Form. The triadic connection between physics, conceptual modeling, and consciousness was completed when the mathematics and physics creating the stability of the proton and the development of the TRUE quantum equivalence unit based on the mass and volume of the electron led to the discovery of the quantifiable existence of consciousness in the form of a new form of reality that is neither mass nor energy, that we call gimmel. Consciousness, at long last, has been included in the equations describing the reality. Let’s look at what this means in regard to the experience of life and death and the existence of individual conscious beings like you and me.

 

There are three ways, at this time, that individual conscious beings are reacting to being alive: 1) Some assume that life is an accidental by-product of material evolution, and that consciousness is just a temporary freak of nature. Believing this, they try to get through life with as little pain and suffering as possible and welcome the oblivion of death when it comes. 2) Some accept life as a strange, undecipherable puzzle that can’t be solved. Their mantra is: just accept it and enjoy it as much as you can whenever you can. 3) Others see life as having meaning and purpose and as an opportunity to learn and expand consciousness through the experiences of physical existence. If you’ve been reading and understanding my posts, you will know which attitude is the correct one.

    

Once we realize that the sole purpose of everything that exists, from the smallest quantum of mass and energy to the wholeness of the entire cosmos is for the spiritual development of consciousness from the bare awareness of being to the complete enlightenment of Cosmic Unity, the way we look at existence, non-existence, matter, energy, space, time, consciousness, and our own life and death, changes forever. The logical paradoxes, including the paradoxes discussed earlier, and the mathematical paradox of the square root of minus one, when resolved by growing and expanding consciousness, become doorways to the additional dimensions of reality.

 

Solving the Puzzle

When I first read Niels Bohr’s statement quoted at the beginning of this post (“The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.”), I couldn’t think of a single truth, profound or otherwise, that had an opposite that was also true. But once I accepted his statement that paradoxes are opportunities for progress in the expansion of consciousness and began to resolve the paradoxes of contemporary physics and mathematics, examples of what he was talking about popped up like flashes of gold nuggets in the black sand at the bottom of a prospector’s pan. For example, resolving the expanding universe paradox and the God paradox (See my July 16 and July 27 posts.) revealed the fact that the finite mind of an individual could be expanded into the bounded infinite series of the uncountable infinity of infinities of the mind of God. This meant that consciousness, in contrast with the quantized nature of physical matter and energy, is infinitely continuous. That, in turn, implies that, as conscious beings, we are all connected through the infinite continuity of spirit. Thus, the profound truth that in Spirit, we are all one and the same, and the opposite of that profound truth, the fact that every soul is unique (in terms of where that soul is on the journey from minimal awareness to Cosmic Consciousness) is also true!

 

Finally, if we adopt the attitudes of Niels Bohr and G. Spencer Brown, that logical paradox is the doorway to an expanded awareness of reality: accept the conclusions of Max Planck and Albert Einstein that matter, energy, space, and time are human ways of thinking about reality, not reality itself and that the conscious intelligent mind of God is the reality behind it all; and consistently adopt approach number 3, based on the knowledge that life has meaning and purpose as an opportunity to learn and expand your immortal consciousness through the experiences of physical existence, then, with focus, concentration, and will power, you can expand your awareness of reality by resolving the opposites of every logical paradox as they arise, see beyond the limitations of matter, energy, space, and time, and move forward during this lifetime on your own unique path to Cosmic Consciousness.

CONTINUING WITH THE ANALYSIS OF INFINITY AND TIME

Resuming the Discussion After a Brief Pause

Dear Reader: Last Sunday I took a break from discussing the a priori assumptions underlying our beliefs about time and infinity to celebrate the anniversary of the launching of the Science and Spirituality YouTube Channel and this blog site ten years ago, and to honor the memory of my late beloved wife, Jacquelyn Ann Hill-Close, who was my greatest supporter and helpmate for more than forty years. I also mentioned the important work of my good friend and colleague Dr. Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD, who has contributed so much to the development and promotion of these ideas. My blogposts reflect some of the work we have done together that led to the formalization of the scientific paradigm shift we call TDVP, and the philosophy of unified monism. Several others have supported this research, including people reading these posts. I want you to know that I appreciate your interest, questions, and comments very much.

So now it is time to get back to the current discussion. Our latest findings require some radical changes in human beliefs about the nature of time and infinity, so I want to discuss what those changes are, how they necessitate re-assessing the basic assumptions about the nature of reality, and how those changes will affect the way we do science and the way we live our lives. A brief re-cap of the major points of the last few posts will help us get back on track.   

Reality is the ultimate logical system that all scientific theories seek to model as accurately as they can. Paradoxes arising in any system of logic are evidence of either incorrect or incomplete a priori (self-evident) assumptions. While applying the methods of TDVP to develop and test our model reality, we reached some conclusions that are consistent with statements made by physicists Albert Einstein and Max Planck, the architects of relativity and quantum physics, toward the end of their careers.

Max Planck said: “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force … We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind.”

And Einstein agreed with Planck. He said: “Space and time can claim no existence of their own. … What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to a point of visibility. There is no matter.”

These statements about what is behind the appearances of the physical world are, in my opinion, more important than all of the technological advances their work has inspired because they actually link modern science with ancient wisdom. In brief, that is what my posts are about: putting together the pieces of the puzzle of existence that are left over from the last high point in the natural cycles of human mental and spiritual virtue that barely survived destruction during the dark ages of materialism that lasted about 2,400 years, reaching its lowest point around 500 A.D.    

While investigating assumptions and determining how conclusions consistent with the quotes from Einstein and Planck conflict with current common beliefs, we uncovered two very interesting conflicts: The “Mind of God” paradox, described in the July 7 post, and the “Expanding Universe” paradox, in the July 16 post. Niels Bohr, another important physicist in the paradigm shift of the last century, observed that paradoxes in scientific theories are not game stoppers; they are actually wonderful opportunities to advance, because the paradoxes are only in our theories, not in reality, and paradoxes in theories can be resolved by making appropriate changes in the a priori assumptions of the system of logic supporting the theories and expanding the area of research accordingly. That is the process I am trying to articulate in these posts. The first step in this process is examination of the assumptions behind what most people believe about consciousness and the nature of reality.

In my preliminary analysis, I identified the a priori assumptions relevant to the mind of God paradox to be assumptions about the nature of time and infinity. The a priori assumptions about time and infinity are relevant because the mind of God is generally assumed to be infinite and perfect, and time is generally assumed to be flowing from past to present, to future, uniformly throughout the universe. The statements by Einstein and Planck, based on their research, as well as results of our TDVP analyses, directly contradict these assumptions.  

I began the analysis by identifying the set of axioms related to the existence and nature of infinity first, in the July 7 post. The analysis of the axioms related to infinity revealed the mind of God paradox. The relevant assumptions that led to this contradiction were identified as 1) the assumption that the perfection of the primary form of consciousness, i.e., the mind of God, the ultimate logical system, is infinite, and 2) the assumption that God is perfect. These two assumptions may both be true, but the problem that gives rise to the paradox, is a third assumption: the assumption that perfection is marred by incompleteness, i.e., that infinite perfection must be complete by definition.

If the mind of God is a consistent logical system, which it must be for science to be possible, then application of the incompleteness theorem implies that the mind of God is incomplete. This conclusion is consistent with the empirical evidence that the universe is expanding, but a 3-D universe cannot expand indefinitely unless it is expanding into absolute nothingness. But the statements of Einstein and Planck, as well as the conclusions of TDVP, imply that there is no such thing as empty space, which is the actual definition of nothingness. This is the second paradox, which I have called the expanding universe paradox. Incidentally, I touched on this paradox when I applied the primary calculus to the Olber’s paradox in my second book, Infinite Continuity published in 1990 (now out of print).

In the July 16 post, I suggested that the expanding universe paradox will not be resolved quite as easily as the Mind of God paradox because it involves expanding the axiomatic basis of the scientific model of reality to the extent where we can understand why the speed of light is the upper limit of relative motion, why there have to be extra dimensions existing beyond the three dimensions of space and one of time, and why time and space, like mass and energy, must also be quantized. This is why I referred to the resolution of the mind of God paradox, by proving that infinity is incomplete, as a potential resolution, pending the analysis of the assumptions underlying the common understanding of time. In that post, I also suggested that expansion of one’s personal consciousness to encompass the understanding of new a priori assumptions about time and infinity has interesting practical applications.

Before I can finish the analysis of the concept of time and connect the dots of the logic that leads to practical applications and resolves both of these paradoxes, I need to describe the metaphysical framework of the TDVP unified monism that became clear to us (Dr. Neppe and me) as a result of the discovery of gimmel, the empirically measurable link between the realities of spiritual consciousness and infinity to the zero-point quantum field of the physical universe.

If the structures of individual consciousness (like yours and mine), the visible finite universe, and the entire cosmos, are all subsets of the logical structures of the infinite mind of God, then a consistent unified metaphysical basis for explaining all of the conscious experiences of reality emerges, in which the infinite cosmos is perceived as identical with the mind of God, and all things that exist within the expanding universe are thoughts in the mind of God, thoughts that appear to us to be finite physical objects, materialized in the 4-D domain of spacetime.

In this philosophical and metaphysical framework, the on-going expansion of the universe is evidence of the long-term purpose of existence, which can be characterized as the opportunity for the progression of conscious beings toward physical, mental, and spiritual perfection. But for finite conscious individuals, infinite perfection in three dimensions is a forever moving target. An attainable goal, however, is the actualization of finite living organisms of mass, energy, and gimmel serving as vehicles for consciousness expansion in the nine-dimensional self-referential cosmos. These entities are expanding consciously into the nine-dimensional domain of space-time-consciousness in relatively perfect physical, astral, and causal bodies.

Spiritual Implications, Yoga Siddhis, and Remote Viewing

Quantum-level phenomena exist far below the threshold of visibility for the sense organs of human beings, but they are visible to us in astral, causal, and spiritual perception by means of the latent innate abilities of consciousness in its more advanced states. These abilities are called siddhis in the Sanskrit writings that survived from the ages of higher mental and spiritual virtue before the dark ages of materialism. At this point in the current cycle of planetary time, the average individual conscious being has not reached the level of excellence in physical, mental, and spiritual development to be able to use enhanced capabilities of advanced forms of consciousness. We may, however, have momentary glimpses of quantum and/or cosmic reality when these abilities surface in OBEs or NDEs, either spontaneously, or in meditation-induced states of altered consciousness. References to these abilities can be found in all of the ancient scriptures of the world, described as spiritual gifts in English, or as siddhis (Sanskrit), ruach menachot (Hebrew), geistige gaben (German), dons spirituels (French), daruri spirituale (Romanian), etc.

 

It should be noted that states of consciousness expansion with enhanced perception can sometimes be accessed temporarily by the ingestion of hallucinogenic substances. But this approach is NOT recommended and should be strictly avoided by most people because without proper precautions, it can lead to uncontrollable negative states of mind with serious psychological problems, even long-term debilitating mental illness. At this point in time, individuals who have succeeded in advancing permanently by interrupting the natural progress of their spiritual evolution with drugs are extremely rare. I know of only a few, and they were already significantly advanced spiritually before they used mind-altering hallucinogens.

 

On the negative side, I have personal experience with at least a dozen cases of serious psychological disorders resulting from the use of hallucinogenic substances. I was able to study two of them in some detail, and in those cases, their spiritual progress was actually reversed. Their lives were so negatively impacted that one spent the rest of his life in a mental institution, and the other died. Very sad and tragic results underlining the dangers of drug use.      

 

Remote viewing is another form of heightened extra-sensory perception worth mentioning because considerable scientific evidence is available documenting the practice of remote viewing, especially in applications developed for military surveillance (See e.g., the publications of Stepan Schwartz), and also for police investigation of difficult missing persons and murder cases. In addition, there is important new scientific evidence documenting remote quantal viewing coinciding quite well with some scriptural descriptions of spiritual powers or gifts. For more information on this, see the published report on the scientific analysis of the Besant-Leadbeater meditation viewing of atomic structure:

 

https://www.pni.org/groundbreaking/Neppe-Pokharna-Close-BESANT-IQNJ-11-3-2019-190901.pdf

 

There is evidence of people who were born with extra-sensory abilities, or who have developed them as side-effects of states of expanded consciousness achieved by practicing certain types of meditation techniques, surfacing now in popular books, as well as in scientific studies by pioneers in the fields of bio-psychophysics and other post-materialist sciences.

The Discovery of Gimmel and Verification of the TDVP Model

As explained in previous posts, gimmel, the link between physical and non-physical reality, was discovered while applying the calculus of dimensional distinctions (CoDD) and TRUE analysis within the metaphysical framework of the TDVP, in the mathematical application I call dimensional extrapolation, to determine why the proton is so stable. (TRUE is the acronym for triadic rotational units of equivalence, also called quantum equivalence units in some of our publications.)

 

Detailed TRUE analyses of various combinations of sub-atomic quantal energy vortices, - called elementary ‘particles’ in mainstream physics - have also yielded resolutions and explanations of more than fifty paradoxes, problems, and previously poorly explained processes in particle physics and quantum mechanics, with results matching experimental data. The details of some of these cases have been documented by Neppe and Close, peer-reviewed, and published. Thus, TDVP escapes the common criticism leveled at multi-dimensional theories like the ever-popular physicalist string theories that are internally consistent but produce no new information that can be tested against the empirical evidence of observation and experimental data. The proof of the existence of gimmel also improves the advantage of TDVP over other theories by providing the practical applications that I am discussing here for the first time.

 

TRUE Analysis and the Speed of Light

With many decades of training in, and practice of consciousness-expanding techniques as a Kriyaban yogi (I was initiated by Sri Daya Mata, President of Self-Realization Fellowship, and direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda on September 17, 1960), I have personally combined methods of practicing inner objectivity combined with the external objectivity of the scientific method to investigate reality at the quantum level. Because of this training and practice, it came as no surprise to me that there was an extremely high level of correlation between the results of the Besant-Leadbeater atomic clairvoyance experiments carried out in England between 1895 and 1932 and recent TDVP TRUE analytical results. (The Pearson-r correlation coefficient was 0.9996, with the probability of occurring by chance of less than one in a trillion.)

 

Using the yoga siddhi of making anything appear as large or small as needed, and the quantum calculus of TDVP with TRUE, to investigate the relativistic speed of light limit on acceleration, I saw how to prove the fact that, not just mass and energy, but also space and time are quantized at the quantum level of objective reality. Here is the multi-dimensional CoDD logic of the proof, reduced to contemporary mathematical notation:

 

The speed of electromagnetic radiation (light) is given by c = ∆s/∆t = 1, where ∆s and ∆t are quantum equivalence units of space and time, respectively. As we descend to the quantum level, we see that because the speed of light is constant with regard to any observer, regardless of relative motion, ∆s/∆t is equal to 1 at every level of measurement. This means that, as the observer perspective is reduced to magnify quantum phenomena, and the measures of ∆s and ∆t become smaller and smaller, they cannot shrink to zero, because the end result, 0/0 is not equal to 1. As any high school math student knows, it is mathematically undefined. Therefore, the smallest value ∆s and ∆t can reach, preserving the constancy of light speed, is one quantum equivalence unit, where one TRUE of space divided by one TRUE of time equals one: 1/1 = 1. Therefore, space and time cannot be infinitely divisible as most people assume, they are quantized at the quantum level, just like mass and energy.

NEW APPROACH PART 22 ACCELERATING CONSCIOUSNESS EXPANSION

 

THE NEW APPROACH, PART TWENTY-TWO

Accelerating Consciousness Expansion

© Copyright 2022, Edward R. Close

 

ESCAPING THE DELUSION

There are as many methods to accelerate consciousness expansion as there are people who have done it. However, that’s still a very small number, relative to the number pf people who claim to be enlightened. There are many fake gurus. That’s part of the evil side of human consciousness, call it duality, Satan, Lucifer, or whatever. How can you tell a real spiritual teacher from the want-to-be gurus? By the fruits of their actions. If a self-proclaimed know-it-all’s personal life is a mess, why would you take advice from him?

Fortunately, there are a few who have already expanded their consciousness all the way to the Ultimate goal of Cosmic Consciousness, either in this life, or in previous lives. Yes, this can happen even during these dark times while the mental and spiritual virtue of the average inhabitant of this planet is very low; and when you are ready, it will happen to you.

I have been blessed to meet a few of those who have expanded consciousness beyond the current prevalent level. One began a talk about the Ultimate, saying: “The Spiritual Masters of all ages have reached the Ultimate, but there is a problem: how can it be explained to those who haven’t?” No word can describe the Ultimate, no group can achieve it, and those organizations that aspire to achieve the ultimate, quickly become subverted by the innate evil of this world lurking in our minds, unseen in plain sight! This is why I recommend avoiding becoming involved with institutionalized organizations as much as possible. It is best to embark upon the path of consciousness expansion without pre-conceived religious, philosophical, or scientific notions, because they are effective mental barriers to spiritual progress, blocking the direct experience of reality. Adopting someone else’s belief system is like trying to see the sunrise while covering your head with a blanket.

Before I write about practical techniques of consciousness expansion, it is incumbent upon me to try to dispel the popular delusion about science and religion, if I can. As they exist at this time on this planet, organized science and organized religion provide fertile grounds for the trickery of the forces of evil. Both mainstream science and world-wide religious organizations entail belief systems that invite you to blindly engage in unquestioning acceptance. Real science and real religion do not require mindless compliance and they are not antithetical. Both should be dedicated to finding the truth about the nature of reality. When fully integrated, they will comprise the one and only true religion. But right now, this world has many false religions.

There is one very powerful false religion griping the world today, and it’s hidden in plain sight. It’s called mainstream science. That title is very misleading. Big science is no longer real science. It has been politically corrupted and turned into a money-making, brain-washing scheme for the ultimate social evil of soul-destroying dialectic materialism. Like any other religion, natural science started off with honest inquiry and good intent, but in just a few hundred years, it has become the opposite of what was intended. The more powerful mainstream science becomes, the more it works to undermine and shut down any thinking that is not consistent with its paradigm. It especially deplores the objective investigation of non-physical phenomena and spirituality.

Like any other corrupted belief system, it has become a powerful mechanism that is used by the egoistic tyrannical elite to control the masses through the carrot and stick of material rewards and fear of annihilation. Like any other false religion, it has to put down free thought. An enlightened proletariat is a threat to the ruling class today, exactly the same way it was in 553 A.D., when Justinian I subverted the real spiritual content of the teachings of Jesus in early Christianity by crucifying its Jewish leaders and putting what Justinian saw as a growing cult threatening his absolute authority, under the control of the Holy Roman Empire. See Secrets of the Sacred Cube, A Cosmic Love Story, Part VI, Patterns of Good and Evil, Outskirts Press, 2019 for more detail.

I have spent a large part of my life studying to become a scientist, earning degrees, teaching math and science, getting science-related jobs, and working as a scientist. The biggest mistake that honest people who identify themselves as members of mainstream science can make, is to allow themselves to fall into the trap of believing that no one knows more than they do. The moment you fall into the delusion that no thought has any value unless it is recognized by mainstream science and fits into the mainstream paradigm, you are no longer likely to make much real progress, because you have become a member of the religious cult of scientism. Just like members of a religious sect who believe that only they are going to Heaven, members of the cult of scientism believe that only they have found the real path to truth and utopia.

Like every religion, scientism, had exciting potential for doing good when it began with the magnificent discoveries of a few very brilliant people. But the light brought into the world fades when the geniuses are gone, and lesser beings take over to institutionalize the teachings and discoveries. Just a few years ago, I realized that the science I was enthralled with when I first found Albert Einstein’s relativity, had been subverted by the evil of egoism. The realization struck home when I heard a leading scientist seeking publicity say: “We are nothing but debris flying away from a big explosion!” And I heard a young woman in an interview on national TV, say: “I am a scientist, so of course, I am an atheist.”

When I decided to become a theoretical physicist, I didn’t sign up to be an atheist! Far from it. On that summer evening in 1951, standing on the bank of that farm pond less than a mile from where I now live, I called out to God, and He answered! Suddenly, my consciousness was expanded beyond my comprehension, and immediately I saw the Holy Spirit glowing in everything around me and heard the sound of silence reverberating in my soul. You can read my account of that experience on page 43 of my first book, The Book of Atma, Libra Publishers, New York, 1977, if you want. From that moment on, I knew that real science and real spirituality are actually one and the same thing. There’s only one reality. It is not in conflict with itself, and your consciousness is designed to experience it directly, not through the filter of crafty word salads prepared by the minions of evil.

I am not against science. I am against the use of science for political gain. When politicians say, “We’re following the science”, they are relying on the likelihood that listeners have bought into the lie that science is always right. Politicians who say that they will always follow the science are lying to you. They will only follow “the science” when it agrees with their agenda. And science is not always right, because the very meaning of science is to probe, hypothesize, test, and falsify or verify. Science is constantly changing as consciousness expands to discover new aspects of reality.

So, what are some of the ways that might be helpful if you want to try to expand your consciousness? Self-inquiry, science, prayer, religious ritual, seeking the fellowship of saints, practicing the presence of God, meditation techniques, mental exercises, psychological analysis, positive thinking, affirmations, mantras, spiritual pilgrimages, Yoga, Buddhism, Christian mysticism, Sufism, fasting, mind-altering substances, reading the Bible, asking what would Jesus do? All of the above, some of the above, none of the above? Actually, the approach that will work best for you depends on where you are in your own personal spiritual journey. Perhaps I need to elaborate on that briefly.

AN OVERVIEW OF REALITY AND OUR PLACE IN IT

People alive on the planet at this time, tend to gravitate toward one of two states of mind: the giver or the taker. Th taker never has enough, and the giver can never give enough, so both are in a perpetual state of need. But reality is not binary, it is triadic. The third choice is to realize that in reality, we possess nothing, and have no need to give or receive. Possessing nothing, we have everything. Trying to possess something, we have nothing. To be clear, I am not advocating communism, where the state owns everything, or capitalism, where the banks own everything. Whatever the form of government, preferably somewhere between the extremes, the individual should realize that ultimately, no one, and no organization of people can ever possess any part of reality. Even your body is a gift from God, not a possession. It's a gift over which you are given responsibility, not ownership. The third way is the royal way: the way of the observant, benevolent king. And the triadic nature of reality is important to keep in mind for many reasons.

Recall the quote from Nikola Tesla in the last post:

“If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6, and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.”

The magnificence of the 3, 6, and 9 is displayed in the symmetry and grandeur of the repetitive patterns in the kingdom of creation. But reality can only be understood from the point of view of a conscious observer. Conceptualizations that do not include consciousness in its three forms: primary, secondary, and tertiary, are incomplete and misleading. An overview, from the primary, cosmic, or galactic point of view, is one of a smooth, infinitely continuous progression from the simplicity of the first binary distinction to the infinite complexity of God. That smooth progression is not linear, but increasingly exponential and multi-dimensional as galactic time goes on.

As you zoom in on a segment of the progression, toward the lower end, where we are today as human beings on Planet Earth (Planetary Time 2022 A.D.), the progression begins to look grainy, composed of objects that are composed of elements that are composed of quantized matter, energy, and consciousness. Matter is spatial, energy is temporal, and consciousness is the self-referential aspect of quantized mass, energy, and consciousness. But the essence of reality is infinitely continuous and non-physical. As pointed out in the many previous publications and posts, reality is mostly (about 95.1% at present) non-physical. Recall that Tesla said:

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena; it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

As part of humanity, you and I, dear reader, are part of the science of the future that Tesla refers to. We will become experts in consciousness expansion by trying all of the methods listed in the last paragraph of the previous section of this post over many lifetimes. Experts are not necessarily special or gifted. An expert in a given endeavor is just someone who has made pretty much all of the mistakes that can be made in relation to that endeavor. Here, I would like to paraphrase Nikola Tesla:

The human brain is a receiver. The transmitter is the heart of reality, from which love, knowledge, strength, and inspiration radiate. Everyone should consider his [or her] body a priceless gift from one whom we love above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate … an antenna capable of tuning in to the thoughts of G0D!

It is incumbent upon each and every human being to do everything within our power to determine exactly where we are, singularly and collectively, on the spiritual journey, and find the perfect method for our individual advancement toward Cosmic Consciousness, as kings and queens in the Kingdom of Heaven.

 

ESCAPING FROM THE PRISON

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! – Matthew 6:22-23

Your body can be a dark prison of despair, or it can be a temple/laboratory filled with light. Which do you want? It’s your choice. We have to admit, however, that, for most of us, making our eye single and turning our bodies from dark prisons into divine laboratories of light is much easier said than done! In fact, it is so difficult that most people don’t even try; most prefer to relent, rather than repent, sink into habit, and think of the scripture above as only a metaphor, and the forces of evil rejoice.

APPROACHING THE THRESHOLD

Flashes of Light

After practicing consciousness-stabilizing meditation techniques for a while, or when in a deep state of relaxation just before going to sleep at night, you may see flashes of light or swirling whiteness behind the darkness of closed eyes. I am not referring to light flashes that may form in the optic nerve or brain from the random activation of light receptors and firing of synapses in the brain that sometimes occurs just after you turn the light out and your physical eyes are trying to see when there is nothing for them to see. I am also not talking about the circular light images caused by the light pressure of your finger tips on your closed eyes in yoga practices like Yoti Mudra, that are designed to create light images to focus your attention.

I am talking about the light that exists beyond such physically generated images, the real light from the threshold and beyond. That light comes into your consciousness through the spiritual eye, the single eye, located slightly above, and in front of the two physical eyes. Our physical eyes are limited to reception of only a very narrow band of electromagnetic radiation, the spiritual eye is not.

 

Objective Self Inquiry

Many people are drawn to the guided self-inquiry of psychoanalysis, and they generally enjoy it, as long as it is comfortable and reassuring to the ego, but they often recoil and avoid the real, objective Self-inquiry that I am talking about here, because it exposes the ego as a fraud. When the ego begins to dissolve, fear of oblivion comes to its rescue. Believing that attachment to the body is the only reality, the ego sees death of the body as the end of everything and tries to hold on as long as it can.

It is to the ego’s advantage to hide the existence of the threshold from you by promoting the lie that nothing exists but matter and physical force, that physical forms of organic life are the only venues of consciousness, and that death is the scary “undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns”. If you never experience consciousness outside of the body during this life, the lie might as well be true. But escaping the physical and intellectual traps of life on this planet will take considerable effort and then an effortless effort on your part.

Being aware that there is a threshold, upon which moving forward into a more expanded state of consciousness may be possible, is a start. But the negative forces of duality have given your ego a lot of tricks to employ, including the ability to conjure up attractive images and fantasies. So, care must be taken to develop a strict discipline of internal objectivity; otherwise, a lot of precious time and energy can be wasted reacting to imaginary demons and chasing false flags, all designed to distract and hide real spiritual phenomena from you. The key is to cultivate a calm, expectant, but patient awareness. Then, Primary Consciousness, the higher intelligence behind all things, will reveal itself to you when you are ready.

The natural entropy of the physical form and your attachment to it makes it seem that your hair is on fire, and that you must act. “Do something, even if it is wrong!” but that is the illusion of time that comes along with attachment to a physical body. Physical time is quantized, but spiritual time is infinitely deep and continuous. An important part of the spiritual journey lies in developing the patience to be able to surrender to the will of God and allow yourself to become aligned with the natural patterns of reality and the logic of Primary Consciousness. When you are aligned, your consciousness expands, and you begin to see the whole picture, you realize that that everything is exactly as it should be. Then life is no longer the weathering of a storm, you can dance in the rain, see God’s love in a wild flower, and eternity in an hour. Once you are fully awake, you know that your body is a truly a temple of light; you know that the darkness of sleep and death can no longer touch you; you know that you are immortal, and you know that there is nothing, and never was, anything to fear.
