NEW APPROACH PART TWENTY: WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

THE NEW APPROACH, PART TWENTY

© Copyright 2022, Edward R. Close, PhD

‘God doth not need
Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed
And post o’er Land and Ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and wait.’
- John Milton, “On His Blindness”.

 

Looking Back

The discovery of the existence of a measurable form of consciousness, now known as gimmel, the third form of physical reality after mass and energy, has a well-documented history. Important parts of that history reach all the way back to the works of the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat with his famous Last Theorem in1637, and the German mathematician Georg Cantor with his Infinity of infinities, around 1900. The discovery of the existence of gimmel about a decade ago, led to the formulation of the Neppe-Close Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm (TDVP) a major paradigm-shifting model. A brief summary of that history is an appropriate background for this post. Here it is, presented in reverse order:

I have posted a link to the most recent presentation of the basic ideas behind TDVP and non-physical gimmel on my FB page. It is an April 2022 YouTube video of a zoom recording of Dr Neppe addressing a group of scientists. Here is the link again: https://youtu.be/TTwDgR50DMY. Major parts of the derivation of gimmel have been posted on this blog site. You can search the site from 2019 to the present to find them. Also see  www.brainvoage.com.

The most recent publication of the complete mathematical proof of the existence of gimmel, the non-physical part of reality, is an important part of my chapter in the book IS CONSCIOUSNESS PRIMARI? – Volume 1 in Advances in Postmaterialist Sciences, edited by Gary E. Schwartz and Marjorie H. Woollacott, 2019. It has also been published, with more detail, in Part II of SECRETS OF THE SACRED CUBE, a Cosmic Love Story, Close, E.R. and J.A., Outskirts Press, 2019, available on Amazon.

Dr. Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD, and I have been working together for about fourteen years now, and we have published scores of peer-reviewed papers, and five editions of Reality Begins with Consciousness, explaining TDVP and the mathematics behind it. The fifth edition of the book is currently available at https://brainvoyage.com/shop/catalog . Other relevant links can be accessed through https://www.pni.org/groundbreaking .

I published an infinite descent proof of the existence of a non-physical final receptor in the process of human perception in Appendix C of : A CALCULUS OF DISTINCTIONS PROOF of The Existence of Non-Quantum Receptors, in my third book, TRANSCENDENTAL PHYSICS, Paradigm Press, Jackson Missouri, 1997, and I had previously published the basic development of the calculus of distinctions seven years earlier, in my second book, Infinite Continuity, A Theory Unifying Relativity and Quantum Physics, released in 1990.

Prior to that, in 1965, I used the basic reasoning of infinite descent to prove Pierre de Fermat’s Last Theorem (FLT), which became an important part of the logic leading straight through the calculus of distinctions to proof of the existence of gimmel, the non-physical part of electrons and quarks, the building blocks of the atoms of the periodic table.

The 1965 proof of FLT, with documentation of its first submittal to mainstream mathematicians, was published in an appendix of my first published book, The Book of Atma, Libra Publishers, Inc, New York, 1977, and the history of the various reviews and unsuccessful attempts to disprove FLT65 since then is available in the archive s of this blogsite.

 

Disclaimer

In this series of blogposts, I am discussing science and spirituality from the viewpoint of biopsychophysics, a new scientific discipline initiated by TDVP, with its own system of mathematical logic. Major paradigm shifts of the past have always required new mathematics. Relativity, e.g., required the new mathematics of four-dimensional spacetime, and quantum physics required new geometric and probabilistic interpretations of matrix algebra and probabilistic wave equations. TDVP requires the complexity of quantum equivalence units, a quantum calculus, dimensional extrapolation, and a new interpretation of Diophantine equations. It should not be too surprising that a paradigm shift from the simplicity of materialism to the hyper-dimensional complexity of biopsychophysics, encompassing non-physical phenomena, would require some pretty complex new mathematics.

In this series of posts, I will be making some predictions, but I am not claiming to be a seer, prophet, or spiritual guru, inspired by visions from God, I am simply reporting here on some of the more significant findings resulting from applications of the quantum mathematics of the calculus of dimensional distinctions to human experience. My role at this point, and the purpose of these posts is to explain, to the best of my ability, the mathematical logic of TDVP and the proof of the existence of measurable non-physical gimmel and its relationship to the expansion of consciousness in a way that almost anyone can understand.

 

Looking Forward

In a very important book, The Holy Science, by Paramahansa Yogananda’s Guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, written in India in 1894, copyrighted, and reprinted in the US by Self-Realization Fellowship in 1949, the periodic astronomical movements of the planet Earth are meticulously traced and correlated astrologically with the historical advancement of science and civilization, reflecting the advancement of mental and spiritual virtue from the time we exited the Kali Yuga (the lowest age of conscious virtue) in 1599, and moved into the Dwapara Yuga, an age of expanding consciousness, until the time the book was written in1894, and beyond, all the way to the next high point of consciousness expansion, 10,477 years in the future.

Please don’t be put off by my use of some remnants of Sanskrit terminology from Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. It is the most expressive way of conveying knowledge from the last apex of human enlightenment in 11,501 B.C, and an important part of what I am trying to do is to facilitate the integration of the core truths of all human efforts to understand the nature of reality, both scientific and spiritual. It is only that kind of integration that will counteract Satan’s devious efforts to divide and conquer the spirit of the human soul.

The group consciousness of sentient beings on this planet will expand into the great understanding of Cosmic Consciousness in the fullness of God’s time, some ten-thousand years in the future. There is nothing the forces of Evil can do to stop it. But, for those on the threshold of true awakening now, that is too long to wait. Even though it may be said by a talented poet who was slowly going blind, that “they also serve who only stand and wait”, God’s Love has provided wonderful ways for beleaguered souls, those of us who do not want to stand and wait for ten thousand years, to forge ahead of the pack. Be forewarned, however, that Satan’s minions will spare no effort to block and throw doubt upon those wonderous ways and those who pursue them!

In future blogposts, I hope to be able to focus on some of those wonderous ways that have been provided for us by God’s Avatars (fully enlightened souls), who have gone before. For now, please receive the waves of Love that I am sending from my heart of hearts, embedded in the substrate of Primary Consciousness, to your heart, embedded in the same pervasive extension of the Great I Am. Shalom, Shanti, Peace. Aum, Amin, Amen.

MEMORIES: ANCIENT SITES




MEMORIES 9th Installment

AFTER ENJOYING INDIA, WE RETURN TO YANBU
©Edward R. Close 2018 

Our visit to India was, for us, far more than just a vacation. We were on a spiritual pilgrimage. I had been a member of Self-Realization Fellowship, practicing Kriya Yoga since 1960, and Jacqui and I were married in an Indian Fire Ceremony at SRF Lake shrine in Pacific Palisades California by an SRF monk. Our primary point of pilgrimage in India was the burial site of Sri Yukteshwar Giri, author of “The Holy Science” and the guru of SRF Founder Paramahansa Yogananda. Swami Sri Yukteshwarji’s burial site is in an ashram in the city of Puri, on the Bay of Bengal.

In Delhi, we spent some time at the Vedanta Ramakrishna Mission, where we were able to meditate in the temple, a rare privilege for westerners. At one point, I opened my eyes and the stature of Ramakrishna appeared to be alive, turning to look at me, nodding and smiling. I blinked, and the smiling saint became the statue again. Daydream? Imagination? It seemed very real!



From New Delhi we flew to Bhubaneshwar, arriving there in the late afternoon. We enjoyed visiting the many ancient temples there. We also attended an all-night-long spiritual celebration with devotees of the Hindu Saint Bhaduri Mahasaya, also known as the Levitating Saint. I participated with sadhus (Hindu aesthetics) in circumambulating the ritual fire while Jacqui and Joshua sat and watched. After the ceremony, we visited with the Rani and her son, the ruling Brahman family of the area.

Bhaduri Mahasaya

In Bhubaneshwar, we hired a car and driver and traveled to Puri by way of Konark. In Puri, we stayed in an Indian hotel near the beach, and paid our respects to Sri Yukteshwar by meditating in front of the Mandir for several hours.

Back in Yanbu, I found my transfered to the Engineering Department to be a great improvement. Instead of environmental planner, I was now environmental engineer in charge of over-seeing all environmental subcontracts, I Also continued to try to find ways to solve the many environmental problems that the Company had created. Daily confrontations with an incompetent supervisor were, thankfully, a thing of the past. Instead of being housed in sweltering boxcars, the Engineering Department occupied an actual building, part of the permanent buildings of Madinat Yanbu Al-Sinayah.

The Chief Engineer, a large, imposing man of Greek descent from New Jersey, was a competent manager. He commanded my respect, even if I did not agree with some of his policies. On the first day, he sat me down and said:

“I’m told that you are a trouble maker.” He peered at me over half glasses with dark rims. “I don’t want any trouble in this department. Understand?”

“I don’t want any trouble either, Sir” I replied. “All I want, is to do my job.”

“And I’ll decide what your job is.” He said pointedly.

Apparently, my former supervisor had filled his ear. In spite of this, we developed a reasonably amicable working relationship. That is, it was amicable until the day he asked me to investigate a possible archaeological site in an area designated as a sub-contractor lay-down zone near the northeastern corner of the Industrial City property.

“Eddie,” (No one had called me Eddie since I was a kid back in Missouri.) “the sub-contractor has reported finding some bones or something out there. I want you to go out there and investigate. I want you to write me up a report so that we can go ahead and rough-grade that area.”

When I arrived at the site, the subcontractor showed me what he had found. He had bulldozed a three-foot deep, twenty-foot wide cut in the bank of a ravine in order to gain access to his designated lay-down area (a staging area for construction materials like pipes, caissons, and concrete blocks, prior to their use building the industrial city). Rib cage bones were hanging out of the side of the cut.
“Do you think they’re human bones?” He asked. He looked worried.



It didn’t take me long to find a human skull, a stray mandible (jaw bone), a femur, and assorted other human bones. The bones were bleached white, but so well preserved, that I thought at first that they must be recent burials. But as I explored the area beyond the ravine, I found rectangular groupings of stone and coral rock, marking the locations of former buildings, littered with pot shards. As I looked farther, I found a few stone implements among the potshards, indicating to me that the site might be very old. This was to be rough-graded to be used as a lay-down area!

There were dozens of building sites, and a hand-dug well near the edge of the ravine. I sounded it to find that it was about twenty feet deep. It was dry, either filled in by blowing sand, or perhaps it no longer intersected the groundwater table. Across another dry wash was an extensive cemetery, rows of mounds of black rock and sand. I estimated at least thirty or forty graves.



I was not able to write the report that the Company management wanted. So, I was on their not-so-cool employee list again. I didn’t trust them not to destroy my report and precede to rough-grade the site. The bones and traces of the village site could be buried quickly with the efficient earth-moving equipment they had on hand. Concerned that this might happen, I went to a senior British engineer I knew to be one of the organizers of the local Historical Society. He advised me to call the Ministry of Antiquities in Jeddah, which I did. They sent a team of two men out to Yanbu to appraise the site.
The men from the Ministry told me that the site was pre-Mohammedan, and probably an important stop on the ancient Spice Trail (Frankincense Trail) that ran from Southern Arabia (now Yemen and Oman) to the Nabatean site called Petra, in Northern Arabia (present-day Jordan). The village was to be protected as a historical site. The lay-down area had to be relocated.
