NEW APPROACH PART TWENTY-ONE: THE SEEN AND THE UNSEEN

 

HAPPY EASTER

THE NEW APPROACH, PART TWENTY-ONE

The Seen and the Unseen

© Copyright 2022, Edward R. Close, PhD

The theme of this blogsite is displayed every time this site is visited, right above every post. But does every visitor see it, or is it largely seen but unseen? Look up, and you will see it. However, so that I am sure you have seen it, here it is, please read it again:

The integration of natural science and spirituality is accomplished by putting consciousness into the equations of the quantized relativistic model of reality. This approach, with a quantum calculus based on the precise empirical data provided by the Large Hadron Collider, leads to the discovery of gimmel, the non-physical third form that must exist in addition to mass and energy, in order for there to be a stable universe.

My point is that we are programmed by today’s electronic media to look for, to see and hear sight and sound bites consisting of only what “they” want us to see and hear. But in this series of posts, twenty-one of them so far, I am attempting to make a series of points designed to help you become more aware of the whole picture. This is what the expansion of consciousness is all about. As consciousness expands, it becomes clear that reality is much more than the sum of the parts. Arising from the simplicity of drawing the distinction of self from other, the reality we experience quickly becomes very complex, consisting of the subtle integration at the quantum level of both the seen and the unseen.

When we are in a normal state of awareness, our minds are focused on the finite localized objects of daily concern, but when we are transitioning from wakefulness to sleep, we exist on the threshold of expanded consciousness for a quantum portion of a nanosecond, whether we are aware of it or not. It is possible to learn to pause there,… and look at that which is normally unseen.

Last night I went there and this morning I remembered what I saw. It was the content of this post. – There is so much to tell, and so little time to tell it! However, in God’s time, one quantum portion of a nanosecond contains all of eternity, and when across that threshold, in turiyananda, (in the joy of the fourth state of consciousness) I am sure the whole truth shall be told.

 

The Greater Perspective

In the last post, the major events in the history of the discovery of gimmel, the non-physical part of reality, were outlined, revealing the fact that a major part of reality is unseen because it is not physical. Among the unseen non-physical things, is a lot of evidence of the non-physical essence of your soul that exists even when you are not associated with a physical body, either in an out-of-body experience (OBE), or between lives.

There is now ample evidence that your soul and mine, existed before we were born, and will continue to exist after we die. See the e-book version of the prize-winning essay, We Definitely Live After Death: The Scientific Proof, by Dr. Vernon Neppe, https://www.pni.org/groundbreaking, and The Best Evidence for the Afterlife by Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD jmishlove@newthinkingallowed.com. I also have a new book on proof of survival with a publisher that should be coming out soon.

The reincarnation of human souls is not a debatable question as far as I am concerned, because I have distinct memories of a number of past lives and of meetings with spiritual advisors between lives. These memories, while fragmentary, are of the same quality as my early memories of events in this life. What some readers might not know is that I am far from being the only one with such memories. The list of famous writers and thinkers who remembered their past lives and/or accepted reincarnation as fact, is lengthy. Many modern Christian church doctrines reject reincarnation even though clear references to the immortality of the soul and reincarnation existed in the earliest scrolls and translations of the Christian scriptures that became the New Testament of the Bible, but were removed from Christian theology in 553 A.D., not by priests or scholars, but by a Roman Emperor for purely political purposes. As a result, Western civilization has nearly lost one of the greatest spiritual truths. 

A recent survey by the Global Research Society and the Institute for Social Research, of more than 18,000 people in 23 countries, reveals that 51% of the people in the world believe in reincarnation. And even though there is far more scientific evidence for reincarnation than for the existence of the Higgs boson, and a majority of the population of the planet accept it as real, Western scientists, because of belief, not science, still largely reject it.

The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said:

“Were an Asiatic to ask me for a definition of Europe, I should be forced to answer him: It is that part of the world which is haunted by the incredible delusion that man is created out of nothing, and that his present birth is his first entrance into life.”

Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Missouri (1835 -1910) said:

“I have been born more times than anybody except Krishna.”

I won’t take the time and space to go into more detail here, but, if you want more detail, please see The Book of Atma, Libra Publishers, New York, and Secrets of the Sacred Cube, A Cosmic Love Story, Part VI through Part X, Outskirts Press. Also, the largest body of well-documented scientific evidence of the reality of reincarnation is found in professional papers and books written by Dr. Ian Stevenson (1918-2007), who was professor of psychology and psychiatry, and a research psychiatrist at the University of Virginia. Dr. Stevenson documented more than 3,000 cases of children around the world who remembered previous lives, many in enough detail that he was able verify the accuracy of their memories. His books for the public, including Children who Remember Previous Lives, are available on Amazon.

As stated in the previous post (Part Twenty) of this series: 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.

Here we see the paradoxical result of being identified with a physical body. You are subject to the frustration of experiencing the relatively rapid entropic decay of the organic compounds that make up the human body, because they are not as stable as the proton. So now, the problem for your soul when associated with a physical body is how to expand your consciousness as much as possible during the short window of opportunity in this lifetime and escape the misery of the glacially slow passage of planetary time. We seem to be swept along with the innate evil of the world, but, fortunately, we have some choices.

In the physical world, the choice always seems to be binary, with the forces of good and evil competing for your energy and commitment. But that is part of the illusion. Whether you fight for good or evil, you are still trapped in duality. In Part Nineteen, discussing the difference between the calculus of dimensional distinctions of TDVP and G. Spencer Brown’s calculus of indications, we saw that excluding consciousness from models of reality makes the logic systems of those models binary. But with the inclusion of consciousness in the quantum calculus of TDVP, its logic becomes triadic. This is a reflection of the fact that the real world is triadic: Everything, including your body, is mass, energy, and consciousness, and you may choose to join the forces of good or evil, or you can choose to transcend. That brings us to the question of how to transcend. What are the ways provided for us to expand our consciousness and transcend pain and suffering by identifying with spiritual reality instead of a physical body? There are many, but they all involve the expansion of consciousness into awareness of the non-physical. Every soul has the potential of doing this and associating with those who have succeeded to some extent, is helpful.

As a practical matter, however, I recommend avoiding institutional organizations as much as you can, because the larger an organization becomes, the more likely it is to be predominately evil. People are quite naturally drawn into groups of ostensibly like-minded people, but then will do things in the name of an organization, especially a political organization, that no one would ever do alone, as a compassionate, intelligent human being. Unfortunately,  both religious and scientific organizations are easily converted into political organizations by Luciferian forces. The slow conversion of organizations from good to evil is one of Satan’s favorite tricks.

World-wide religions are generally based on the teachings of an Avatar of God, who is one with Christ Consciousness, but within a couple of generations after the departure of the Avatar, in order to survive in a changing world, the organization starts modifying the teachings and then slowly degenerates into thinking that their way is the only way, making it all about the Transcendence of God and a few Special Beings, who just happen to be the administrative heads of their organization. Similar to the way religious organizations become the opposite of what they were meant to be, scientific organizations also become political and unscientific very easily.

What I am trying to do in this series of blogposts, is to help further awaken as many readers as I can to the rare possibility of individual consciousness expansion offered, by the grace of God, through the auspices of the few Self-realized beings (Avatars) who have reincarnated from the past and future Sat yugas (times of highest illumination) to help us through these dark times. The evil of this world, Lucifer, if your like, is doing everything in his power to hinder their efforts by using deluded egoist “elites” and politicians (“but”, as Mark Twain said: “I repeat myself!”) to pass out misinformation and lies for truth. This hinderance includes making us believe that spirituality, especially in the form of organized religion, is evil, and that evil, especially in the forms of Marxism and materialistic socialism, are good. This reversal of good and evil has affected the world more dramatically for the past fifty years than ever before, and it has become especially bad during the Covid pandemic.

The infiltration of evil, in the form of various versions of self-destructive Marxist atheism, into the  institutions of mainstream science, education, healthcare, news outlets, popular entertainment, and social media, started in earnest in the 1960s, and was almost complete by 2015. God used people from outside the established elected and non-elected evil elite, like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and President Donald J. Trump to disrupt and expose the almost totally corrupted world governments, including the US two-party political system. As he has done many times in the past, God used imperfect human beings. Of course, all of us are imperfect, except for God-realized spiritual beings, who are very rare at this point in planetary time.

You may be asking what gimmel and TDVP have to do with this. Recall that Serbian technical genius Nikola Tesla (1856 -1943) famously 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.”

That day is here. And the focused use of the scientific methods taught by all God-realized Spiritual Masters can lift human beings from suffering and despair into the ecstasy of expanded consciousness and eventually, Cosmic Consciousness. Was Nikola Tesla a God-realized Soul? Evidence from what we are told about his life do not suggest that, but his intellectual achievements do suggest that he was well ahead of most on the path of positive consciousness expansion. He also said:  

 

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

The quantum calculus of TDVP has revealed that reality is triadic. There are three forms of the essence of reality, and the number 3 is repeated through the patterns of reality when assessed in quantum equivalence units (TRUE). There are 3 forms of the essence of reality: mass. Energy and consciousness content, 3 dimensions each of 3 types of finite dimensional domains (3x3 = 9) that extend in opposite directions along each of 3 orthogonal dimensions, so, there are 2x3 = 6 cardinal directions. And that’s just the beginning. The magnificence of everything that decorates and illuminates the universe, from the smallest crystal to the largest galaxy, is built on patterns of 3, 6, and 9! Tesla clearly understood a lot beyond the world of his time. About his obvious genius-level intellect he said:

 

“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration.”

About the human body, he suggested:

“Everyone should consider his [or her] body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it.”

His is a far better assessment than that of mainstream physicians and scientists who are predominantly materialists. I would add to Tesla’s assessment that the human body is so sensitive that a thought may also heal, strengthen, protect, and even transform it, and for fully enlightened beings, it is a temple filled with light.

THE IMMORTALITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

It's a new day! In fact, every time the planet turns on its axis, making the sun appear to rise in the east, we, each and every one of us, have another chance to become more aware and improve on what and who we are. In my posts on this blogsite, a lot has been said about transcendental physics and the new science of TDVP. During the past 10 plus years, Dr. Vernon Neppe and I have discovered many new, exciting applications of the quantum mathematics of TDVP that have solved problems and answered questions that mainstream science, still based in the mis-leading assumptions of materialism cannot touch. Most of these, including the discovery of gimmel, the non-physical part of reality at the quantum level, have been published in papers in journals, in books, and on this blogsite. It is now time, in my opinion, to talk about what these discoveries mean to the average person. How can this new knowledge improve our lives?

I want to focus in this post on what, in my opinion, is the most important aspect of our discoveries: There are three aspects of life and existence (thus the Triadic term of TDVP), they are physical, mental, and spiritual. This is of course, not a new idea, but the application of quantum calculus has revealed why we have a stable, conscious life-supporting universe. It is because the driving force behind all meaningful evolution, even all progressively complex physical evolution, is spiritual. The existence of stable structures of energy and what we mistakenly think of as matter, is the result of spiritual evolution, not the other way around, as assumed by mainstream science. With TDVP, this is not just a philosophical or religious theory, it is scientifically and mathematically provable!

Don’t make the tragic mistake of believing that you are the physical body and nothing more. The death and destruction of the physical body that you currently inhabit is part of a natural process of spiritual growth. You existed before you came into your present physical body, and you will continue to exist after you leave it. We now have overwhelming scientific evidence that individual consciousness survives the death and destruction of the physical body. It’s just part of the process, like the dawning of another day. This knowledge is liberating. Once you free yourself of the illusion of dead-end materialism, and begin to actually remember that you existed before, during, and after birth and death, you can say with the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, echoing the prophet Hosea: “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”

So, if this was known at the time of Paul, an Apostle of Jesus, and even before, what’s the big deal? The big deal is that now, something that has necessarily been a matter of blind faith and belief for people of the modern world, has been proved scientifically and mathematically. Understanding that, as a conscious being, your soul is immortal, is no longer something you can chose to believe or reject. Discovery of gimmel, the non-physical part of reality, that has to exist in order for there to be a stable, life-supporting physical universe, changes that! The development and application of a quantum calculus appropriate for the quantized physical reality discovered by Max Planck and amplified by Albert Einstein, using the meticulous data from the Large Hadron Collider and the Hubble space probe, has proved that reality is primarily spiritual, and that energy and the illusion of matter are epiphenomena of conscious spirit, not the other way around.

We must wake up to the truth being taught by Neppe and Close, the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences in the US, and Academia Ars Moriendi in Europe: Death is not to be feared. It is part of the natural process of spiritual consciousness.

It’s truly a new day! Now that we can prove that we are immortal spiritual beings, temporarily wearing the disposable garments of physical bodies so that we may grow spiritually, we can be thankful for the opportunities of each new day for greater awareness of who and what we are, in the context of spiritual immortality.

A SCIENTIFIC MYSTIC'S MANIFESTO

DEATH AS AN ESCAPE? THANKS BUT NO THANKS!

I am not an average human being. Nowhere near the mean. But is that really a good thing? That’s for you to decide. I have been ill for several days now, nearly three months after being on a crowded flight from Eastern Europe just after the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, followed by months of almost total isolation. I finally came down with the flu, at least a flu; I’ve not been tested. But here are some thoughts about what I’ve experienced.

Anyone who has had a serious bout of the flu, regardless of which one, knows that you reach a point where you feel that you would have to get better to die! You will shout out to God, whether or not you believe there is one, with something like: “OH God! Why do I have to suffer like this?

When I reached this point, I dug in my heels, and said: “NO DAMN WAY! I am not going out this way! Nowhere is it written that I have to leave this world in mind-numbing pain and suffering! When the time comes, if it must, to leave my body, It is my intention to leave it consciously, in peace, without pain, suffering, or remorse. I intend to leave with a clean slate, an honest report that I have done with what I was given, the best I possibly could. That I reached my earthly potential, and am ready to move on.

Is this arrogance? Must I surrender to the fate of nearly everyone else? Is that the will of God? I don’t think so! Would a loving Father want pain and suffering for his child? I think not! Especially when I am told that He, in the form of a special incarnation, has done that for me. Must we surrender to the will of the author of this creation? Yes, of course, but in my opinion, it is much better to do it before you find yourself at Death’s door in pain and suffering.

He sent me here with specific things that I need to do. And I’m not leaving until they are done! Even when my beloved wife Jacqui had to leave, she said to me: “You must finish our job!” She even found a way to send me that message after her dear body had been cremated. In a message delivered through a triple-blind scientific experiment, she declared, with a statement and a promise: “Yes, I came to help you while I was alive, and I’m not going to stop just because I died!”

So, I’m sorry, Death Angel, thanks, but no thanks! I’m not ready to go yet. I’ll let you know when I’m ready to cross over to that other shore.

SURVIVING THE CORONAVIRUS CRISES

Romania 

THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS

I spent most of the day yesterday unpacking dishes recently moved from my home of 28 years in Jackson Missouri. But, while doing that, I was thinking about a suggestion made by Grig Oprea of Academia Ars Moriendi in Bucharest Romania that she would like to see me offer some positive words of encouragement to the people of Romania and the rest of the world, to help us get through these worrisome times of the coronavirus scare. America, and most, if not all European countries, are virtually shut down now because of the coronavirus pandemic, and I have just returned from Romania a few days ago, just before travel bans were imposed.

My experiences with international travel at the time of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic provides a relevant background for this post. Like virtually everyone else in the civilized world, I have been directly affected by the shutdown, and like many, I am under a self-imposed 14-day quarantine because there is reason to suspect that I was probably exposed to the virus. My 10.5 hour flight from Istanbul Turkey was filled with people fleeing Europe and the Middle East, trying to get to America before the travel ban was to be imposed one day later. The plane was a Boeing 777, packed with families, people of all ages, crying, coughing, sneezing children, parents, grandparents, etc.

Many people think that mathematical models of reality, including TDVP, the model developed by Dr. Vernon Neppe and me, are theoretical constructs far removed from the every-day problems affecting real people. This is certainly true of string theories and any of the so-called Theories of Everything (TOEs) developed by theoretical physicists, but it is not true of TDVP. TDVP is the only model among potential TOEs that is fundamentally tied to physical reality and our consciousness of it. It utilizes a quantum calculus with the smallest mass of stable physical reality as the basis of all measurement, and it highlights the role of consciousness in the equations describing reality. This makes it unique: It is a model with a practical framework for solving real problems for real people. This is why Ms. Oprea suggested that we might be able to offer some practical insights into the coronavirus problem.

Conclusions about the nature of reality provided by application of TDVP principals tell us that, even though negative chaotic forces may invade our world from time to time, the real situation is that this universe of ours is a logically ordered system designed to support life. For billions of years, e.g., this planet has been circling a life-giving star, our sun, with the precision of finely-tuned clockwork. In a purely physical reality, this would not be possible. The physical law of entropy would not allow a logically structured universe to develop from a big-bang explosion in the first place. This bubble of meaningful information and purposeful order that allows conscious life to self-organize, flourish and evolve spiritually, has been protected from devolving into chaos by the logic and will of Primary Consciousness and is reflected in the will of the conscious beings currently populating our planet.

Application of the quantum logic of TDVP tells us that every process, event and change occurring in our reality always conforms to the all-encompassing logic of Primary Consciousness. In traditional spiritual terms, we might say: Even when things seem negative and chaotic, God is still in control. It may not seem that way, when we think that we are about to be overwhelmed by negative conditions like a viral pandemic. But in the final analysis, negative forces can never win. Not only because Primary Consciousness is actually in control, but also because we know now that, as conscious humans  beings, we participate in that control. What this means, is that your state of mind matters. The state of the consciousness of each and every conscious being contributes to the totality of the state of the logical system we call reality. Keeping a positive mindset in alignment with the innate structure of Primary Consciousness, manifesting as meaningful order (what Dr. Neppe and I call “ordropy”), is extremely important for our spiritual, mental and physical well-being,

So what can we do to make sure we survive the coronavirus pandemic scare? If you find yourself slipping into a negative state of mind, like the fear engendered by the coronavirus, turn your attention to your connection with Primary Consciousness. Primary Consciousness is present everywhere as the very fabric of reality, the logical consciousness substrate from which everything originates. Your connection with Primary Consciousness is to be found within you; it is your “I am”, the most intimate part of your being. If a feeling of negativity, like fear of the coronavirus persists, through your connection with Primary Consciousness, ask that that your attitude be changed. When that change occurs, you will realize that the logical structure of Primary Consciousness is the essence of reality shining forth like a bright star, and that negativity is like darkness; it has no existence of its own. Just like darkness is simply the absence of light, negativity is the absence of the innate logical structure of consciousness.

Finally, in the worst-case scenario, suppose you succumb to fear, you are exposed to the virus, you are among the one to two percent of those contracting the virus who will die, and your physical body ceases to function. The quantum logic of TDVP tells us that the conservation of mass and energy, one of the most basic laws of physics, extends to consciousness. So, as an individual manifestation of consciousness, you will not cease to exist. Because TDVP is not a theory, but has been verified by experimental data and unique experience, this conclusion that your consciousness will survive the death of the physical body is not a theory, it is fact, and your consciousness is immortal. Thus, we can say: “Death, where is thy victory, where is thy sting?” As the World War II leader of Great Britain famously said: “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!”

EXCERPTS FROM SURVIVAL, A WORK IN PROGRESS

 SURVIVAL

Jacqui

The Question of Survival

The question of whether the consciousness of a living person can survive the physical destruction of that person’s physical body arises because of the assumption that no one really knows what consciousness is. Clearly, mainstream science does not; and most mainstream scientists today accept the assumption that consciousness is epiphenomenal, i.e., a strange, insubstantial something that arises when matter and energy reach a certain level of complexity; although no one seems to know exactly what that level of complexity is, or even whether the complex structure must be a living organism or not,  This position is consistent with the metaphysical belief system now known as physicalism, a updated, scientific version of materialism.

Beyond the Quantum Veil

It took a while, but eventually, I began to get over the intense heartache that came with the realization that the life Jacqui and I had shared so joyously was over, gone, and that I would never again in this life, feel the smoothness of her skin and the warmth of her physical presence. We were now separated by an invisible curtain that I knew I must somehow part. Fortunately, I also knew that I had some advantages that might make this possible: First, I knew that Jacqui was probably working to do the same thing from the other side. Her message through the medium had been loud and clear: She had been a tremendous help to me while alive, and, as she said, she was “not going to stop just because she died!” Second, we had meditated together for more than forty years.

What is beyond the quantum veil, beyond the physical universe, and beyond the land of our dreams? Based on Sri Yukteswar’s cyclic concept of time and the development of mental virtue, G. Spencer Brown’s Laws of Form, and the esoteric teachings of all the mystic geniuses of all of Earth’s history, - almost all of reality! The reduction valves of our senses only allow us to see a fraction of it. But, even that fraction reflects a bit of the wonder and bliss of Reality. That is why we can be enthralled by the majesty of a mountain range capped with snow, the exquisite beauty of a rose, or the wonder of a starry night. The rest of this book is dedicated to the chronicling of part of our journey together, Jacqui’s and mine, with Jacqui in the spirit world, and me incarnate, working together to do our part to help humankind reach our goal: The goal of all existence, Cosmic Consciousness!

The beauty of the paradigm shift my research partner and spiritual brother, Dr. Vernon Neppe and I call the Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm (TDVP), is that it provides a logical theoretical framework within which to explain the experience of working with someone who has gone beyond the quantum veil into the greater reality of the Spirit world, the so-called “other side”. Within that framework, we can see how the Spirit world is not something wholly apart from physical reality: In the dimensionometry of TDVP, the spirit world and physical reality are not disconnected realms, separated in a way that ‘never the twain shall meet’. On the contrary, the physical domain of three dimensions of space and one dimension of time is a sub-domain existing within the spiritual domain of consciousness, in the same way a line exists within a plane, or a plane exists within a volume.

Beyond what we normally perceive through the physical senses, the spiritual domain with its embedded physical world is immersed in, and surrounded by the infinitely continuous matrix of Primary Consciousness. In the same way physical reality is a sub-domain, embedded within spiritual reality, the logical structures and patterns of the physical universe, which we call the laws of science, are a sub-set of the greater logical structure of Primary Consciousness. That part of the logic of the greater logical structure of Primary Consciousness is conveyed down into the physical domain by the existence of gimmel, the non-physical, organizing aspect of physical reality, found in every discrete, spinning vortex-like (vortical) particle, viz., quarks, protons, neutrons and atoms, that make up stable, life supporting physical reality. With this link-up of experience with the mathematical logic and science of the TDVP, Jacqui and I will continue to tell our story.

ON THE VIRTUE OF PATIENCE, FERMAT’S LAST THEOREM AND DYING

ON THE VIRTUE OF PATIENCE, FERMAT’S LAST THEOREM AND SURVIVAL

© Edward R Close 2019

“…at length, the truth will out.” – Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice.

Dear Reader, I want to ask you to use your imagination. Please imagine that Pierre de Fermat, a Jurist who worked in the Parliament of Toulouse France in the middle of the 17^th century (1630-1665) is speaking:

“From childhood, I was fascinated by numbers, and mathematical propositions often came to me quite as naturally as breathing! But, alas, it was not my fate to become a professional academic. My father, Dominique Fermat, prevailed upon me to study law in order to have a vocation that would enable me to support my family. While my law degree did enable me to become a productive member of society, I was often bored with legal work, and turned to musings about numbers when not occupied with my duties as a juror. I had studied Greek and Latin while at University, which allowed me to have access to the works of natural philosophers and mathematicians of the past. Around 1625, I began working in my spare time on reconstructing the works of the Greek geometer Apollonius, having to do with loci and planar surfaces.

Because I was not an academic, I had no ready institutional support to publish my findings, so I saved my mathematical musings in the back of my desk and tried to correspond with professional mathematicians as I could, on occasion. Rene Descartes, the recognized genius of the day, dismissed me as an amateur, derided my use of “obscure notation” and called my demonstrations “lucky guesses” when I proved to be right. I was able to calculate areas and volumes under various curves using the process of diminishing infinitesimals, something which Descartes declared to be “impossible”. We also had disagreements about the mathematics and geometry of the refraction of light and the construction of tangents to curves, and even though he was wrong, his inflated ego would not allow him to see the truth! Later, I found more favorable reception of my ideas with the eminent philosopher of natural sciences, Blaise Pascal, especially regarding the calculation of probabilities, but it was number theory that was my first love; especially Diophantine equations and infinite descent. The acme of my mathematical musings was my proof of the following proposition: 

Xⁿ + Yⁿ cannot equal Zⁿ, when X, Y and Z are integers and n is an integer larger than 2.

It was well-known from the time of the Greek mathematician Pythagoras that the sum of the squares of two whole numbers can equal a larger whole number squared. In fact, there are an endless number of such triads, XYX, such that X² + Y² = Z², as is demonstrated in the Pythagorean Theorem. But no one was able to produce a set of numbers satisfying this requirement when n is larger than 2. In 1637 I found an elegant proof that the equation Xⁿ + Yⁿ = Zⁿ has no whole-number solutions when n is greater than 2. I penned a statement to this effect in the margin of my copy of the book Diophantus’ Arithmetica, but the proof was a little too long to include in the note. However, the whole proof scarcely covered a single page, and I placed it among some other short notes in a cubbyhole of my desk for safe keeping.”

▬  ▬ ▬ ▼▲▼ ▬ ▬ ▬

Now, as the reader may know, Pierre de Fermat’s proof that Xⁿ + Yⁿ ≠ Zⁿ, when X, Y, Z and n are integers and n > 2 became famous as “Fermat’s Last Theorem”, because Fermat’s proof was never found and the world’s best mathematicians were unable to prove or disprove it to their satisfaction for more than 300 years. Because of that, mathematicians came to believe that Fermat was probably mistaken about having a proof. What the reader may or may not know, is that I proved Fermat’s Last Theorem in 1965, 30 years before Andrew Wiles’ proof was finally accepted in 1995. My proof was short, unlike Wiles’ proof of more than 200 pages, and in Fermat’s notation it would probably fit on a single page. 

All attempts to refute my proof, which I call FLT65, over the past 50 plus years have failed, but it still has only been accepted by a few mathematicians because of the general belief that a “simple” proof of FLT is simply impossible. The whole history of my attempts to get it accepted and several of the attempts to refute it are posted on this blog. Just search for ‘FLT65’ if you want  to see them.

Fermat’s Last Theorem proved to be important in the development of the quantum mathematics I developed, called the Calculus of Dimensional Distinctions, which Dr. Vernon Neppe and I applied in our Triadic Dimensional Vortical Paradigm (TDVP), a shift to consciousness based science. However, the TDVP does not rely on my FLT65 proof at all, because it only requires the the validity of FLT for values of n from 3 to 9, and it has been known that FLT is valid for n=3 to a much larger value than 9 for a very long time.

It would be nice to be recognized for being the first to prove FLT since Fermat, and it would restore Fermat’s honor and reputation as a first-rate mathematician, but I’m not holding my breath. I’ve learned to be patient because I believe at length, the truth will out!

On a deeper level, I was beginning to feel depressed about the loss of the physical presence of my soulmate Jacqui. I am fortunate to have evidence in the form of a meticulous double-blind experiment that she still exists as a conscious entity, able to communicate with me and help me as she did while alive. But that evidence is of an indirect nature. I would like the communication to be more direct and personal, just between the two of us. I am becoming impatient for that to happen, and impatience leads to disappointment and disappointment breeds depression. 

Today is Black Friday, the seventh anniversary of the day Jacqui suffered acute kidney failure in Tucson Arizona, and I had to rush her frantically to the ER at St. Joseph's Hospital,

a black day indeed. Jacqui’s birthday is coming up in two weeks and the first anniversary of the day she died is only three days later, so during the first holiday season without her, it’s easy for me to become depressed. But I must be patient.

SURVIVAL!

An excerpt:

Proof of the Continuation of Consciousness

This book presents, perhaps for the first time in the current period of development of empirical science and ascending mental virtue, indisputable scientific evidence of the survival of human consciousness beyond the destruction of the physical body. For years, many people have reported near-death experiences (NDEs), out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and evidence that the consciousness of loved ones who have died survives, but the evidence is usually very subjective. The evidence reported in this book goes beyond subjective feelings, dreams. Imagination, or seeing visions of smiling departed loved ones, assuring those left behind that they are happy in a reality beyond the pain and suffering of physical life. This book contains proof, in the form of the results of a double-blind scientific experiment, that Jacquelyn Ann Hill-Close, known and loved simply as Jacqui by thousands she helped during her all-too-short lifetime, survived the funeral pyre and still has the ability to interact with those of us she has left behind.

This is not a ghost story. It is not an account of a faint voice in the darkness or an eerie apparition. It’s not based on dreams or wishful thinking, it’s a report of credible scientific evidence of the continued robust existence of Jacqui’s consciousness, still functioning in much the same way it did when she was moving among us in a physical body. This book is a sequel to the book Secrets of the Sacred Cube, A Cosmic Love Story, written by Jacqui and me, her husband of more than forty years, and published about nine months after she left her physical body for the last time in this life.

JACQUI

             JACQUI

"You're Ed Close!" she said,

All those many years ago,

And a bell rang inside my head.

What it meant, I did not know.

"Yes, I am." I said, "Do I know you?"

Within a few days, I went from

Knowing nothing at all about her,

To realizing the simple fact

That I couldn’t live without her.

…Now she’s gone.

Her appearance in my life that Day,

Was a touchstone to the past …

An echo from an ecstasy,

Found again, at long last,

Washed up on a distant shore,

She knew, for her dreams had long foretold

The way our lives would morph

And intertwine, to fit the Master‘s Mold.

And now she’s gone …

As time went by, I came to know,

We had a crucial part to play

In His plan to make our Spirit grow,

And help others along the way.

He sent His sweet Blessings from above,

A perfect life, completed with her Love.

But, what am I to do, now?  I cry a thousand tears!

Must I wait for her return, another thousand years…

Now she’s gone?

I miss her so…

Then, miracle of miracles, words came from the other side:

"Do you know who this might be?" He asked,

"She says she helped you with your work!" "Oh Yes!", I replied.

Doubt faded, like a late Spring frost, as I basked

In the warm glow of Jacqui’s love,

Her wit and humor could not be denied!

"She laughs", he said, and tells me:

"I'll not stop now, just because I died!"

Oh, … she’s not gone!

So now, that soul who was so sweet,

Who made my life and work complete,

She is not gone; her love still flows within my heart;

And lifts me like a rising tide.

When He says "Come Home, you‘ve done your part.“

I’ll join her on the other side!

"You're Ed and Jacqui Close," she said.

"Yes, I am," I replied.

"That has not changed at all", she said,

"Just because I died!"

No, Jacqui’s not gone!

THE GOLDEN BIRD OF SCIENCE HAS ESCAPED THE DEADEND CAGE OF MATERIALISM

DEATH IS NOT THE END OF CONSCIOUSNESS

This is a follow-on to my last post: WHY DO WE AND OUR LOVED ONES HAVE TO SUFFER AND DIE? In that post, I tried to explain why and how birth into a physical body and the eventual death of that body is not the end, but  just part of the duality that allows the soul to grow from minimal self-awareness to the eventual goal of Cosmic Consciousness. This post is a glimpse into this process in a more personal way, made more real to me by the recent passing of Jacqui, the love of my life.

In the previous post, I expressed the view of many at this point in time, the view that death is simply the end, in the following way:

“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 … 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:”

Of course, the point of the post was that this is an illusion, that it is not true; that consciousness cannot be destroyed. It is what Eastern philosophies call “Maya”, what Christian mystics call ”Worldly Delusion”, and the realization that it is untrue is enlightenment, and the basis of “being saved”. Unfortunately, it is the dominant belief among scientists today, most of whom are either atheists or agnostics.

It is important to understand the difference between atheism and agnosticism. Atheism is the arrogant belief that there is no higher intelligence in the universe, no reason beyond the finite logic of the physical brain, and when the electro-chemical functioning of the brain ceases, consciousness is gone. Agnosticism, on the other hand, is simply honest skepticism, an attitude that a scientist should have about any question -  until there is evidence to the contrary. And there is evidence to the contrary of the shallow belief system called atheism. Let me amplify this with some personal experiences.

In 1996, Jacqui and I attended the “Toward a Science of Consciousness, Tucson II” Conference at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where I did a poster presentation of my paper “The Case for the Non-quantum Receptor”. After one of the sessions, I asked a well-known physicist if he had started meditating yet. He answered: “No, why should I?” and walked away before I could reply. If I had had a chance to reply, I would have said: Because you will never understand consciousness until you do!

It is also important to understand what meditation is not. It is not the various practices called meditation techniques, like physical postures, exercises, breath control, and mental focusing methods, etc. It’s not prayer or ritual, either. These practices and techniques can only bring you to the threshold of meditation. Meditation is direct contact with Primary Consciousness, the spiritual essence that underlies all reality. The practice of meditation techniques is like diving for pearls, diving deeper and deeper each time, until your consciousness merges with the “priceless pearl” of Primary Consciousness. No one can adequately describe this to you, it can only be understood by direct experience.

I could describe for you the serious scientific studies being carried out today by members of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences, and other academic groups, that strongly support the reality of the existence of consciousness as spirit independent of bodily physical vehicles, but those descriptions are available in papers and publications by scientists like Dean Radin, Gary Schwartz, Marjorie Woollacott,  Imants Baruss, Stephan Schwartz, Mario Beauregard, Neppe, and Close, and many others. Just google these names and read their books and papers. For now, let me return to my personal objective experiences of spiritual reality.

We live in a world of life and death and seeming uncertainty. But, anyone who has even glimpsed the priceless pearl, the blazing gem at the heart of the lotus of the human mind, knows that the experience of the uncertainties of life and death is just a very persistent illusion meant to challenge us to go beyond appearances and become the spiritual beings we are meant to be. One evening in September of 1960, I experienced what Jesus meant when he said; “The light of the body is the eye; If, therefore, thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be filled with light.” I’ve written about it in Chapter 8, The Doorway of Light, in my book Transcendental Physics, readily available from Amazon and other sources on line. In this experience, one that happened during Kriya Yoga initiation, the energy centers called “chakras” converged to form one brilliant light. From that point forward, my life changed. I knew the purpose and meaning of my life. I’ve shared some of this realization on this blog.

Recently, I experienced the loss of the presence of my soulmate Jacqui’s physical form, but re-confirmed the survival of the consciousness of our loved ones beyond their brief tenure in physical bodies. In our new book, Secrets of the Sacred Cube, a Cosmic Love Story, Jacqui and I describe some of our first-hand experiences of the existence of consciousness beyond the physical body. This book should be available soon.

Since the new book went to press, I have had even more evidence of the reality of spiritual life beyond the grave. In a double-blind experiment arranged by others, Jacqui produced undeniable evidence of her continued existence as a thinking, loving being. Because it is in the form of data from an exploratory double-blind scientific experiment, this evidence will probably be published in a future paper and/or book.

The bottom line here is: Spirituality is no longer a subjective belief. With the discovery of gimmel, the existence of spiritual reality behind the appearances of the physical universe is measurable, and spiritual experience can now be studied by applying the scientific method and mathematical proof. The golden bird of science has at last escaped the dead-end cage of materialism!
