dawg Posted March 1, 2014 MALIKSHREDS... Not to rain on your parade, but have anyone ever certified that you are enlightened? Since the Buddha went into Nirvana, it is important to be certified if your enlightenment is true or not, otherwise you're merely in a Demon State. Don't worry about me, worry about yourself...

dawg Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) A YIN / YANG UNIVERSE …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… THE YANG & THE YIN AS THE ACTIVE & PASSIVE FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… When I first wrote this description of the universe I was thinking strictly in terms of western physics. It was only later that it dawned on me that the universe I had described was also a “yin-yang universe”… and I then realized that the ancient Chinese of the Zhou dynasty who founded Taoism knew what they were talking about… not only did they get it right, but they did so in such a simple and elegant way… I also realized that Taoism was probably originality considered “pure science”, or simply “the truth of our existence”… not a “religion”, as we think of religion today… that “yin-yang” was simply an accurate description of the universe… So I have added this yin-yang introduction of my original description of the universe. To show how my original description of the universe in terms of western physics, is also a description of a yin-yang universe. ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………… The Tao is the “something” that existed before time and space, about which we can know nothing… As a word the Tao literally translates as “the path” or “the way”, and refers to the natural laws of the universe, and the natural flow of change… We call it Tao, but we cannot correctly name it, because names define and limit, and the “something” which we call Tao is indefinable and limitless… This “something” called Tao is the origin of the universe and its working… The Tao is the unity that is the mother of the duality of forces (“Yang” the active force, and “Yin” the passive force) that is the physical universe and all things in it. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… In western physics the yang force (active force) is “Energy”, and the yin force (passive force) is “Gravity”… Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion states that, “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction” … the “action force” is ENERGY (Yang, the active force of Tao), and the equal and opposite “reaction force” is Gravity (Yin, the passive force of Tao)… they are equal and opposite… one cannot exist without the other… This is the duality of the Universe. In the description of the universe that follows, I will describe how Yang/Energy and Yin/Gravity are the active and passive forces that create (the illusion that is) the physical universe that we know… And how Yang/Energy and Yin/Gravity (Yin) are simple Electromagnetic Forces… Energy (yang) is the force of “expansion”, a flow of force out from the center… Gravity (yin) is the force of attraction, a flow of force in towards the center… When you read the description of the universe below and read “Energy”, think “Yang”… and when you read “Gravity”, think “Yin”. ENERGY = YANG = ACTIVE FORCE = NEGATIVE CHARGE GRAVITY = YIN = PASSIVE FORCE = POSITIVE CHARGE …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… PROLOGUE ASSUMPTIONS, LOGIC, and CONCLUSIONS Neither classical physics, nor relativity physics, nor quantum physics can describe the “unity of the universe” (a “Theory of Everything”); and in addition they are mutually contradictory, so it is impossible to unify them in their present form. This situation can be considered to be “evidence” that some parts of each theory are correct, and some parts are not; that all three contain faulty “assumptions” and/or “conclusions”, even though the “logic” of their mathematics is correct… And that these faulty assumptions and/or conclusions are what have blocked any further development of these theories, thus blocking our understanding of the unity of the universe… It is not possible to “prove” theories of physics or astronomy with mathematics alone. Mathematics can only “describe the logic” of a theory, and the logic is based on “assumptions” that are “assumed to be true”. No matter how good the logic is, if the assumptions are wrong, the logic will produce a wrong conclusion. At best, mathematics can only show that the logic (based on the assumptions) is valid or “true”, but mathematics alone cannot prove that the “assumptions” or “conclusions” are valid or true; or that they are even possible. For example, I can “mathematically prove” that a human can reduce themselves down to a point. Because I have observed (observational evidence) that a human can lose 10 pounds in a month. So if a 180 pound human loses 10 pounds a month for 18 months (mathematical logic), that human would weigh zero pounds and be the size of a point. The “observational evidence” is true without question, and the “mathematical logic” is unassailable; but my “mathematical proof” proves nothing, it only describes the logic of the “theory”. It is mathematically possible for a human to reduce themselves to a point, but you have an abundance of other “observational evidence” so that you know that it is not possible in reality. It is the “assumption” that a human could reduce themselves down to a point that is wrong, so the conclusion is wrong. It is this kind of “mathematical absurdity” that has corrupted the logic of modern physics and astronomy, blocking our understanding of the universe. If all of the “false assumptions” and “false conclusions” were weeded out of “classical physics”, “relativity physics”, and “quantum physics”; they would fit together seamlessly. The problem is not the mathematics; the problem is the false assumptions and false conclusions associated with the mathematics. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… GRAVITY 1)… INTRODUCTION… To understand the universe, it is first necessary to understand why and how gravity is an electromagnetic force of attraction; so that you can then understand why the universe is an electromagnetic universe. It is for this reason that I begin this paper with a brief description of electromagnetic gravity. Sunlight… The speed of light takes approximately 8.3 minutes to reach the earth, so that when we see the sun in the sky, we are not seeing the sun where it is now, we are seeing the sun where it was a8.3 minutes ago. Sunlight does not point back to the sun’s true center of gravity, whereas gravity always points back to the sun’s true center of gravity. So if gravity is radiation it is instantaneous, propagating so fast (infinite speed) that it reaches the earth instantly, before the sun moves in the sky. The Equation for Sir Isaac Newton’s Inverse Square Law of Gravitation describes “gravitational radiation” that propagates at “infinite speed”; and his equation gives an accurate answer, so it was considered proof that gravity was “radiation”, and that it propagated at “infinite speed”. Newton lived before Coulomb’s inverse square law of electromagnetic force (attraction of unlike charges, and repulsion of like charges”), so he could not consider that gravity was an electromagnetic force. Albert Einstein knew that gravitational radiation could not propagate at a speed faster than the speed of light. And even if it propagated at the speed of light, gravity (like sunlight) would not point back to the sun’s true location; and as a result the planets would drift away from the sun and leave the solar system. So he said that gravity could not be a force. And because he knew that the gravity of a massive body (star) could act as a “gravity lens”, and that it was the curvature of a lens that focused light; he proposed that gravity was the curvature of 4-dimensional space-time around a body, and then he developed the mathematics to describe it. But he was never able to describe how the curvature was created, and how it worked… 2)… But Consider What Happens if You Simply Reverse the Direction of Gravity… Then gravity no longer needs time to propagate from the sun to the earth. Because then, Gravity is always flowing in from outside the solar system, flowing past the earth to where the sun’s center of gravity is now. It is only because gravity was considered to be radiation that it appeared to propagate at infinite speed. Gravity that flows in towards the sun’s center of gravity does not need to propagate at an infinite speed to be instantaneous, gravity is instantaneous at any speed, because it is always flowing pass the earth now, flowing to where the sun’s center of gravity is now. 3)… If Gravity Flows in Towards the Sun’s Center of Gravity, Gravity must be an ordinary simple electromagnetic force of attraction of “classical physics”, with “finite speed” (speed of light) in accordance with Einstein’s Relativity. And note that Sir Isaac Newton’s gravity equation (inverse square law) is only measuring the “strength” of gravity, not the “direction” or the “speed” of gravity. So the mathematics remain exactly the same even if you reverse the direction that gravity propagates. This is why Sir Isaac Newton’s gravity equation gives us an accurate answer, even when he wrongly assumed that the sun’s gravity was a form of “radiation” that propagated instantaneously at “Infinite Speed” to the earth… It has been the “accepted assumption that gravity radiates out from the sun”, that has corrupted our logic, and has blocked our understanding of gravity, since Sir Isaac Newton published his “Principia” in 1687… 4)… If Gravity is an Electromagnetic Force of Attraction… the sun which radiates (repels) electromagnetic energy, must have a negative charge (in proportion to the size of its mass) which acts through its center of gravity, so that its center of gravity is a negative mono-pole. And gravitons must have a positive charge so that they are attracted to it, and flow to the sun’s center of gravity. And because gravity can pass through all matter, gravitons must be tiny enough to pass through molecules and atoms, so gravitons must be positively charged quanta. 5)… How “Mass Attracts Mass”… Gravity is a force of finite speed (speed of light) that is propagated by gravitons that are “positive quanta”; that flow in towards a center of gravity because it is a negative “mono-pole” and they are attracted to it. But note that two masses are not attracting one another directly. That the negative mono-poles at the center of gravity of each mass are attracting the same positively charged Gravitons that are between them (the two masses). And as each mass pulls the same Gravitons in towards its center of gravity, they are pulling themselves together. It is a 3 way attraction. The center of gravity of one mass (negative charge), is pulling in Gravitons (positive charge), that are being pulled in by the other center of gravity (negative charge). The attraction between two masses is, “negative charge”- “positive charge”- “negative charge”. 6)… Sir Isaac Newton’s inverse square law of gravity is essentially identical to Charles Coulomb’s inverse square law of electromagnetic attraction… The only difference is that Newton is using the sum of the masses and the distance between them squared, while Coulomb is using the sum of the charges and the distance between them squared; but both are measuring electromagnetic attraction. Newton is indirectly measuring the charge (of the masses which is in proportion to the size of the masses), while coulomb is directly measuring the charge. So gravity is unified with electromagnetism in this way, as a simple electromagnetic force of classical physics. Newton’s Law is a specialized law, intended only to measure the attraction of two masses, while Coulomb’s law is a universal law that measures all types of electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. 7)… When Einstein said that e=Mc2, Einstein said that energy must have MASS… translated into simple English grammar, this means that he said, “energy” = “mass” x “the speed of light” x “the speed of light”… this means that every “wavelength” on the “energy spectrum” has “mass”… you cannot have “energy”, without “mass”… because “energy” is “mass” in motion… this means that every “wavelength” on the “energy spectrum” is a moving “particle” or “quanta”, creating a wavelength… energy has a “negative charge”, therefore “energy” is “a particle or quanta with a negative charge”… 8)… Why there must be a GRAVITY SPECTRUM… Sir Isaac Newton’s “third law of motion” states that “for every “action”, there must be an equal and opposite reaction”… this means that, for every “moving negatively charged flow of energy particles or quanta” (with negative spin), there must be an equal and opposite flow of “moving positively charged gravity particles or quanta” (with positive spin)… this means that there must be a “gravity spectrum” that is equal and opposite to the “energy spectrum”…ENERGY IS THE ACTION… GRAVITY IS THE EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION… this is the whole basis of the “conservation of energy”… 9)… What generates Gravity…The earth is orbiting around our star “Sol”, our sun… our sun is orbiting in our milky way galaxy… our milky way galaxy is orbiting in our galaxy cluster, which is orbiting in our galaxy super cluster, which appears to be moving towards the “great wall of galaxies”… all mass in the universe is moving out from the center, as the energy of the universe expands …so that all masses have this “kinetic energy” as a result of all this movement, in proportion to the size of their mass… this in turn induces an equal and opposite flow of “kinetic gravity”… that is a flow of “moving positively charged gravity particles or quanta (gravitons), in proportion to the size of the mass… the “kinetic energy” and the “kinetic gravity” are both acting through the center of the mass… THE KINETIC ENERGY IS THE ACTION… THE KINETIC GRAVITY IS THE EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION… 10)… Einstein’s “Curvature of Space” Gravity… The “gravitons” (positively charged quanta) flowing towards the “negative monopole” at the center of gravity of a massive body, are Einstein’s “curvature of space gravity”… the strong flow of positively charged gravitons flowing towards the negatively charged monopole, attract and pull the negatively charged photons of light towards the center of gravity of the massive body… bending the path of the light, and focusing it like the curvature of a lens would do… this is the curvature of space that is continuously updated as the massive body moves through space… this is the 4 dimensional space-time of Einstein’s gravity, 3 dimensions moving in the space of “time” (the 4th dimension)… ____________________________________________________________________________ AN ELECTROMAGNETIC UNIVERSE Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac… 1902 – 1984 11)… Dirac’s Quantum Field Theory… Paul Dirac is considered the father of “quantum field theory”… quantum field theory originated from the “Dirac sea”… the origins of the Dirac sea lie in the energy spectrum of the Dirac equation, an extension of the Schrodinger equation that is consistent with special relativity, that Dirac had formulated in 1928… the equation was extremely successful in describing electron dynamics, but it possessed a rather unusual feature, it described “anti-matter”… because for each quantum state possessing a positive energy “E”, there was a corresponding opposite state with a negative energy “-E”… The idea of the Dirac sea implies an infinite negative electric charge filling all of space… and in order to preserve symmetry (the conservation of electric charge), there must also be an infinite positive electric charge density which is exactly cancelled by the Dirac sea… because the two electric charges are equal and opposite, the Dirac sea is neutral and unobservable… only changes (particles popping in and out of existence) in the Dirac sea are observable… this is the original concept of the “quantum field theory”… When Dirac published his work in 1928, the established world of physics ridiculed him and his work, calling him an “ignorant crank”, and dismissing his work as “rubbish”, because it didn’t agree with their work… but in 1932, another physicist proved by observation (beyond doubt) that Dirac was right… and in 1935, Dirac received the Nobel Prize for physics… But in the late 1930s when Dirac’s original equation became widely accepted, it was “reformulated” (changed) by others… Dirac’s sea became a vacuum, a state in which no particles existed, instead of an infinite sea of particles whose charge was equal and opposite… this destroyed the original integrity of Dirac’s equation, eliminating both “causality” and the “symmetry of electric charge”… the infinite energy of the quantum fields now came out of “nothingness”, and returned to “nothingness”… the conservation of energy and charge was completely ignored… needless to say, Dirac was not happy with the “reformulation” of his quantum field theory, and he never accepted it… he continued to maintain that empty space “must” be filled with an equal and opposite sea of negative and positive electric charge, to preserve the symmetry of electric charge so that the mathematics of his Dirac Equation would give accurate results in all situations… The reason that Dirac’s original equation was reformulated was because it had a unique feature… if you tried to use his equation to calculate something it wasn’t intended for, you would get an answer of “infinity” meaning that what you were trying to do was impossible… this is why it was reformulated by other physicists, Dirac’s equation told other physicists that their theories were impossible… so they reformulated his equation to make their theories possible … This is why Astrophysics has been lost in the woods since the late 1930’s… burdened down by a lot of dysfunctional theories, and has degenerated into a herd of squabbling competing theories, none of which can credibly describe the universe… Quantum Mechanics is the only area of Quantum Physics that has any credibility… All through science, we observe almost total symmetry between positive and negative… Dirac’s original equation validated the conservation of charge, which means that charge can neither be created nor destroyed… charges come in positive and negative, forces come in positive and negative, particles are symmetric between matter and antimatter. This last came as a great shock to physicists when Dirac’s equation first predicted it, but after it was proven by observation, and was accepted, symmetry became the justification for many of our theoretical structures… now it is only in energy that physicists deny that such symmetry exists… 12)… The following model of the universe is based on Dirac’s original quantum field theory. It is a universe where empty space is filled with a Dirac Sea, a neutral sea composed of equal and opposite negative and positive charge. It is a universe with total symmetry. It is the symmetry of energy, and gravity. It is the symmetry of NEGATIVE CHARGE and POSITIVE CHARGE. It is the symmetry of Dirac’s Sea. It might at first seem that the universe is far too complex to be built up of nothing but two simple electromagnetic forces of classical physics. But the complexity of the universe is an illusion. Think of the complexity that your computer and the internet have generated in just a few years, which is based on a binary code of “1” and “0”. The universe has been generating complexity for hundreds of billions of years. Also consider that the universe is built up of nothing but 3 types of particles : negative particles, positive particles, and neutral particles. But the neutral particle has charge, it is only neutral because it has an equal balance of positive and negative charge. So the universe is made up of nothing but kinetic and static “negative charge” (energy) and “positive charge” (gravity). The universe on every scale is a electro-magnetic structure, an electro-magnetic hologram illusion built up of nothing but negative and positive charge. BINARY UNIVERSE – GRAVITY & ENERGY http://theuniverseandman.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/edit-for-electromagnetic-universe-1.jpg THE ACCELERATING EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE 13)… Why the Universe Expands, and why the Expansion is Accelerating… In 1998, astronomers discovered that the universe is expanding at ever faster speeds. The accelerating expansion of the universe is currently one of the most famous, and most embarrassing, problems in physics. It’s an “effect” still searching for a “cause”… Until 1998, everyone thought the universe’s expansion was slowing down after the “big bang”. The universe expands because the energy of the universe flows into the lower potential that surrounds it… Even if the universe expands uniformly, it is still a mass, and as such it has a center of mass/gravity… and everything in the universe is moving and being carried out from that center of mass/gravity as the universe expands… the motion of the orbit of the earth (and our star the sun, other stars and planets, moons, galaxies, and other heavenly) is not powered by the “momentum” of the big bang… all motion in the universe, the motion of atoms, the flow of electricity, the metabolism and movement of living creatures, the motion of all orbiting masses is driven by the flow of energy out from the center of mass of the universe to the edge of the universe, as the universe expands… this is why the expansion of the universe, and the motion of heavenly bodies do not experience entropy… The energy of the universe is an electromagnetic force. All energy has a negative charge. A negative charge repels other negative charges, so energy repels other energy. This is why energy radiates and flows to a lower potential. This is why the universe expands. The universe is surrounded by a lower potential, therefore the energy of the universe flows or radiates out into this lower potential that surrounds it. The drawing below, of the “inverse square law”, clearly illustrates why the expansion of the universe is accelerating. It shows that even if the universe expands at a constant rate of speed, the ever increasing volume of expansion is an accelerating geometric progression; and that the exterior surface area of the universe exposed to the lower potential is also an accelerating geometric progression, giving the universe an ever increasing potential for expansion. http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~barnes/ast110_06/hfts/1109a.jpg This drawing of the inverse square law explains why the expansion of the universe is accelerating, even if the speed of expansion is constant. ____________________________________________________________ NOTES 14)… “Dark Energy” and “Dark Matter” are the universal Dirac Sea that fills all space. Because of later revisions of Dirac’s original quantum field theory equation (made by others) that changed the Dirac Sea into “empty nothingness”, the “negative charge” (energy) that makes up half of the Dirac Sea has now been mistakenly assumed to be “dark energy”. And the positive charge (gravity) that makes up the other half of the Dirac Sea is now mistakenly assumed to be gravity that is generated by “dark matter”. 15)… The Quantum Field… When particles pop in and out of existence in the “quantum field”, they are popping in and out of existence from this “Dirac Sea”. This “Dirac Sea” can be considered as providing credible causality for the “quantum field”, and it restores the conservation of “energy”, and “electric charge”. 16)… All Heavenly Bodies… Galaxies, stars, planets, moons, comets, etc, are charged masses immersed in, and moving through this conductive Dirac Sea. ____________________________________________________________________________ TIME 17)… “Time” is the flow of “Energy”… We experience time as “motion” and “change”… “Motion” is the flow of the energy force, while “change” is the result of the energy force flowing… The flow of Energy is driven by the expansion of the Universe… Energy flows from the center of the Universe towards its edge, for this reason time flows in one direction only. The past is gone, and no longer exists, and the future does not yet exist except as a probability. We exist and live in a “now”, the present moment… The “past” and the “future” are only “intellectual concepts”, they are not “existing realities”. Without the flow of energy, there would be no motion, change, or time… Time is measured in units of Motion… The motion of sand through an hourglass… The motion of a shadow on a sundial… The motion of a pendulum swinging back and forth… Time is measured as units of the Earth’s and Moon’s motion… The “day” is “one rotation of the earth”, the motion of the sun across the sky, day & night… A “lunar month” is one cycle of the waxing and waning orbiting moon… The “year” is one orbit around the sun, one cycle of the changing seasons… These are arbitrary local (Earth) units of measurement… The Motion of the Earth is very erratic… Because the orbit of the Earth is an ellipse and not a perfect circle, the earth speeds up, and slows down as its distance from the sun varies… and the other planets in the solar system exert a gravity pull on the Earth, depending where they are in their orbits… so the length of both the day and the year varies… The solar system does not keep “perfect time”… Atomic clocks use the vibrations of atoms (motion) to keep “perfect time”, but atomic clocks get out of sync with what the Earth is really doing, and have to be adjusted to match “real” Earth time which is erratic… the metaphorical “beginning of time” was when energy started to flow. The “end of time” is when energy stops flowing. 18)… The speed of light is a constant in any frame of reference, because “time” and “light” are both the “flow of energy”, so propagate at the same speed. If they slow down or speed up, they do so in tandem. ____________________________________________________________________________ EPILOGUE ASSUMPTIONS, LOGIC, and CONCLUSIONS Newton’s assumption that gravity was radiation, that propagated at infinite speed was a “false assumption”… but because he used the “inverse square law” which only measured the strength of gravity, not the direction or speed of gravity, the mathematics still gave him an accurate answer… and because the mathematics gave an accurate answer for the strength of gravity, it was considered “proof” that the “assumption” (that gravity was radiation) was true, and that the “conclusion” (that gravity propagated at infinite speed) was true… and so it was considered a “proven fact” that gravity was “radiation” that propagated at “infinite speed”, until Einstein declared that it was impossible for gravity to propagate at “infinite speed”… but Einstein still accepted as a fact, the “false assumption” that gravity was “radiation”, and so he reached the “false conclusion” that gravity could not be a “force”… instead, he said that gravity was the “curvature of 4-dimensional space-time”, and so he then created the mathematics (true logic) to describe gravity as the curvature of space-time… and so our understanding of gravity was still blocked… and even today as you read this, it is still considered a “scientific fact” that gravity is “radiation”… it is this “false assumption” that has made it “impossible” for physics and astronomy to understand “gravity”, since Isaac Newton published his “Principia” in 1687… and unless you understand gravity, it is not possible for you to understand the unity of the universe… it is only by questioning the “assumptions” and “conclusions” of contemporary “scientific wisdom”, that physics and astronomy can remove the barriers (false assumptions and false conclusions) that impede further understanding of the universe… ____________________________________________________________________________ Dawg Edited June 30, 2014 by dawg 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawg Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) THE YIN AND YANG OF MALE AND FEMALE THE ELECTROMAGNETIC NATURE OF OUR BODY 1)… NORMAL SEXUALITY… Everything concerning gender, sexual attraction, sexual intercourse, orgasm, and conception is a function of the second “chakra”… and is driven by the electromagnetic attraction between a negative charge (male/YANG), and a positive charge (female/YIN)… A man whose second chakra is “negatively charged” (YANG) is sexually attracted to a woman because her second chakra is “positively charged” (YIN)…. A woman is sexually attracted to a man because her second chakra is “positively charged” (YIN), and his second chakra is negatively charged (YANG)… This is because opposite electromagnetic charges attract one another, and similar electromagnetic charges repel one another… Note that each chakra spins in the opposite direction of the chakra directly above or below it… also note that all of the chakras of a men and women, spin in the opposite direction of the other sex… http://www.solara.org.uk/userfiles/images/CHAKRAS.jpg 2)… CONCEPTION… The life of our body started with the union of an egg from our mother, and a sperm from our father… The egg and the sperm each had a single strand of DNA, but neither could survive for very long by themselves, each would have died without the other… It is the union of the two strands of DNA (one from the egg and one from the sperm) into a single unity that created a “life force”, activating the single cell of the fertilized egg, causing it to divide and multiply, growing from that single cell (the egg) into a full term baby… The DNA of the egg has a positive charge (YIN), and the DNA of the sperm has a negative charge (YANG)… the egg exerts an electromagnetic attraction on the sperm (in the same way that a positive pole of a magnet attracts the negative pole of another magnet), this is why the sperm is attracted to the egg, and knows where to find the egg… this is why the sperm when it reaches the egg, enters the egg, and joins its DNA to the DNA of the egg, forming a double helix… this is how the life of our body began. The fertilized egg now has 2 strands of DNA forming a double helix… the mothers’ DNA (from the egg) has a positive charge (YIN)… the fathers DNA (from the sperm) has a negative charge (YANG)… THIS DOUBLE HELIX OF THE TWO DNA (with one positively charged coil, and one negatively charged coil) IS NOW A TINY “INDUCTION COIL”, GENERATING A SUBTLE TWO WAY (positive and negative – yin and yang) FLOW OF ELECTRICITY (this is the Qi force) THROUGH THE MERIDIAN OF THE UNITED DNA, THAT ACTIVATES THE UNITED DNA (making it alive), AND GIVING THE SINGLE CELL OF THE EGG THE ENERGY FLOW THAT STARTS THE SINGLE CELL DIVIDING AND MULTIPLYING, GROWING INTO A BABY… this flow of energy goes from cell, through every cell in the body… If the negative charge of the sperm’s DNA is stronger than the positive charge of the egg’s DNA, the baby will be male… If the positive charge of the egg’s DNA is stronger than the negative charge of the sperm’s DNA, the baby will be female. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Caduceus.svg/299px-Caduceus.svg.png 3)… THE CADUCEUS… The two snakes represent the Yin and the Yang… if there is a black snake and a white snake...the black snake is called “Ida, and is the YIN, and the white snake is called “Pingala” and is the YANG… they form a double helix spiraling around the staff which represents the spine or central meridian of the body. The heads of the snakes represents the two lobes of the brain. The flow of YIN-YANG (the two snakes) spiraling around the central meridian (or sushumna) is inducing “Prana” (Qi force) in the central meridian which is rising up through the spine. The wings at the top of the staff represent the enlightened soul taking flight… The double helix of the snakes also represents the YIN-YANG of the two strands of DNA of the fertilized egg, while the staff and wings represent the life force (the Qi force) that the two strands are inducing… Showing that the body itself is a larger “fractal” (same geometry on a larger scale) of the single cell… Edited June 2, 2014 by dawg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawg Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) “Adam” and “Eve” in the “Garden of Eden” The story in the Bible of “Adam” and “Eve” in the “Garden of Eden” is grossly misunderstood… the Garden of Eden was not a “place”, it was an enlightened innocent “state of mind”… the Adams and Eves had no concept of “good” or “evil” (“like” and “dislike”), and everything just was, simple cause and effect… they made no value judgments and accepted everything just as it was... but once they ate the fruit from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil ”, their state of mind became deluded and dissatisfied… the Eden in their mind was corrupted and no longer existed… they were not driven out of the Garden of Eden by some wrathful god, because the garden of Eden was not a geographical location… “original sin” was simply the knowledge of good and evil which allowed them to make “value judgments”, which created more and more delusion, making them more and more dissatisfied and unhappy… and because each generation teaches their children what is good, and what is evil (mundane reality), “original sin” (dissatisfaction and unhappiness) was, and is passed down from generation to generation… the “wrathful god” punishing Adam and Eve for their “original sin”, was just one more product of men and women’s delusion, which was added to the story later to explain why all the later men and women were so dissatisfied and unhappy… When you meditate, and successfully reach enlightenment, you have gotten rid of “original sin” (good and evil)… you do so by walking the “middle path” between “good” and “evil”, as described by the Buddha… you realize that “good” and “evil” are just cultural value judgments that our culture has “conditioned” us with… both "good" and "evil" are "clinging"... you realize that “good and evil” are what generates our “delusion”, and is what generates all of our dissatisfaction and suffering… so that you realize that you must be totally neutral, totally indifferent, and walk right down the middle between good and evil… and have no good intentions, and no bad intentions, so that you cling to nothing... everything just is... there is only indifferent cause and effect... if you do this, this happens... if you do that, that happens... you do this until delusion is destroyed, so that you no longer have delusion or make karma… so that you (surprise, surprise) return to the “Garden of Eden”… Edited June 30, 2014 by dawg 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Answers Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I like it...but one criticism: If being in the Garden of Eden requires a state of not knowing good from evil, that is essentially the same as not knowing right from wrong. If that is the case, it would be impossible to live in such a state among society, which has its own set of rules, some of which are likely to clash with your unbiased actions...(unless your bliss is beyond prison to the point that it wouldn't bother you having to spend a lot of time there...I could even say, that I understand such a thought, but you'd miss out on a lot) For example: I know the concept of wearing clothes doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, besides from to keep warm, but I still wear clothes for the most part of my awake hours, even at home...because I also know that people would be worried if I started walking around naked. In every action, I still know right from wrong and that each have their time. (or is this what you mean by walking the middle path? Knowing the rules and playing the game without letting either side touch you.) Knowing and flowing, never showing. It reminds me of when sages wrote along the lines of not fooling ourselves by spending the rest of our lives doing nothing in the mountains. I think such a Garden of Eden would have been possible literally at the beginning of man, when you were unlikely to step on anyone's toes. However, humans have now evolved beyond that point, there's no going back to the garden without a huge catastrophe...not because we can't get there mentally, but because it's not practical. (This path was inevitable from the beginning, spirituality also evolves.) Instead, we have to walk the middle path, like you say...but still maintain an understanding of what we can and cant do/good and evil, so as to know how to flow along without creating any ripples.

Anoesjka Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks so much for posting this Dawg. I'm in this process, but haven't finished yet. It's a bit slower then with you, or maybe not. Sometimes my subconscious, my Animus, tells me what to do, for instance in a dream. But I have to pay great attention, because he talks in symbols and metaphors. The other day he showed me he had a window in his head and I had to study what was inside. But besides this holy marriage you talked about, I was also shown a marriage of three. I do not understand yet. Or maybe I do, it may be just real simple. You have given me confidence to continue on my path. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow cool thread. You mention purifying the 7th before purifying the 6th? Dont most people operate bottom up instead of top down? Its interesting to me because the western hermetic tradition operates top down instead of bottom up. How would you go about purifying the 7th before the 6th anyways? After all, they are levels of concentration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Answers Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) A) I have not expressed myself very well, because you have totally missed the point… which is, “you still know what mundane reality is, but it is no longer controlling your mind”… you are no longer a puppet on a string… you realize that the only reality is that there is no reality… that what we call reality is totally man made… that “reality” is just a social agreement that allows us to co-exist with other humans… a survival mechanism for the human species of animal… C) and you realize that the duality of “good & bad” and “right & wrong” are arbitrary “value judgments” that are the source of delusion, which is the cause of dissatisfaction and suffering… D) so that you automatically walk the middle path… or as you said, “Knowing the rules and playing the game without letting either side touch you.) Knowing and flowing, never showing”… Dawg Thanks for the reply. A) I don't think I totally missed the point as we seem to completely agree at the end. B ) Reality isn't man made, Earth was here before we rolled on the scene as was pretty much all of the known Universe today. Even if you consider reality to be just an illusion of Tao, if reality in that sense is an illusion, then we too are illusions - to an illusionary figure the illusionary world is quite real...similar to how 2 negatives make a positive. While we may be able to expand our minds into other realms, we can't deny the importance and existence of our physical bodies) Society, while man made, is also very real and essential. That doesn't mean the big company society we live in today is a good version of society, but a form of society is inevitable in humans and most other species. That's why I said that the Garden of Eden state of mind is somewhat pointless today. It's like trying to use the wrong charger for an electronic device - it'll probably catch fire. But here we agree so lets move on to.... C) I disagree with you here. What is good or bad maybe determined by the rules of the society that we live in, but the same basic rules apply to any society. If I do something that you don't like, and I know it's going to upset you, but still I do it anyway for my own benefit - this is universally bad, no matter what the action itself may be. The only time "good" and "bad" don't exist is when there is no interaction with any other living thing...and we know this is not what the ancient adepts promoted....We could talk about this in more detail but this pretty much sums it up for good and bad: It's not any specific action, it's the decision making process and the effect it has on others. D) See, we agree - I told you I didn't totally miss the point. Edited July 14, 2014 by Silent Answers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its interesting to me because the western hermetic tradition operates top down instead of bottom up. How would you go about purifying the 7th before the 6th anyways? After all, they are levels of concentration. we use the unpurified 7th chakra which is the conscious mind, to purify the 6th chakra which is the subconscious mind because the conscious mind can think outside the box of our conditioned behavior... so it is the only tool we have that can purify the 6th chakra... then when we purify the 6th chakra, our subconscious mind, it stops dumping delusion into our conscious mind... so that our conscious mind is automatically purified also... dawg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddie Posted July 14, 2014 Hey Dawg Latest development in my meditation practice. I've lately noticed that I've begun to hear my subconscious speaking more often and more clearly. It's actually disconcerting how irrational it is. Pretty much everything it believes to be true is obviously a delusion to my conscious mind, yet when I ask my subconscious why it thinks what ever its thinking is true or right usually the only answer I get is "its just the way it is, why don't you get it" in a kind of annoyed tone. The thing is, now that I'm hearing it more clearly its hard to ignore, in fact it can be rather loud at times. So what's going on? and what can I do about it?

juliank Posted July 15, 2014 Ever since reading this thread I am going through the same issue as Matthew. I don't know if dawg's insights made me more aware of my subconscious mind's voice, (i dont think so since I have come across this subconscious/conscious dichotomy in many other readings before) however, the way he expressed it certainly had a stronger effect on me than my other encounters with it. My one way of dealing with is has been laughter, treating it like a silly child, as to how effective this tactic is at neutralizing it im not so sure. It certainly does stop the torrent of it's nagging stupidities. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your last line sums it up... because dictating a specific action is what reality is all about, and it controls your subconscious mind... and by extension your conscious mind... it controls you at least 95% of the time... so when you destroy "mundane reality", you take control of your actions... then you control the decision making process, and the effect it has on others... when you destroy mundane reality, you destroy the hypnotic trance (the conditioning that controls you)... you see reality for what it is, a culture based "social contract"... and for the first time you see and know the truth of your existence, and have control over it... you know you will reap the fruit of your actions, so you choose good actions instead of bad actions... It is our intention that makes an action good or bad... only intention is "good or bad" , everything else is neutral, just "IS"... there is only "cause and effect"... "intention" is "cause", karma is "effect"... the universe is totally impersonal... if you stick your hand in a fire, you get burned, does that make fire bad...? no...! you can cook your food with fire, and warm yourself when it is cold... does that make fire good...? No!... fire just is... Dawg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawg Posted November 15, 2014 THE “ALPHA MIND” FOUR CONCEPTS THAT WOULD MAKE PSYCHOLOGY A CREDIBLE “SCIENCE” There are four related concepts that most psychologists might find difficult to accept as being a part of psychology, but they are necessary to understand “the true scope of our existence”... and so are thus necessary to understand “the true scope of psychology”... because without these four concepts, psychology is just “wandering aimlessly lost in the wilderness… burdened down by a lot of irrelevant Freudian baggage”… searching for answers in all the wrong places… 1)... Reincarnation… it is impossible to die, even if we wanted to…when our body dies, we wake up in the spirit world with our conscious mind, and our unconscious mind which is also our spirit body… our conditioning (karma) in our unconscious mind (which is our spirit body) determines the length of time we spend in the spirit world, and where we spend it… and then it determines where, and in what situation we are reborn in the physical world, with a physical body… we also carry past life conditioning (karma) with us in our unconscious mind (spirit body) when it “reincarnates”, which is why newborn babies are so different... 2)... The spirit World… The physical universe is a reality, it exists, it just is, it is the “truth”… no nation or man “owns” the physical universe… science is just man’s feeble flawed attempt to describe the physical universe… the “physical universe” and “science” are two completely different things… In the same way, the spirit universe is a reality, it exists, it just is, it is the “truth”… no god or religion “owns” or “controls” the spirit universe… religion is just man’s feeble flawed attempt to describe the spirit universe… the “spirit universe” and “religion” are two completely different things… 3)... What part of our mind reincarnates… we have two separate minds… There is a conscious mind that can think freely and create new ideas “outside the box” of our conditioning... Then there is the unconscious mind (also called the subconscious mind), which is basically a super computer loaded with a database of conditioned behaviors, some of which we carried over from a past life, most of which we acquired as small children, below the “age of reason”... because once we reach the age of reason... our unconscious mind (subconscious mind) will only accept conditioning that agrees with the conditioning it has already accepted… so although the unconscious mind is very powerful, it has the conditioned mentality of a small deluded child (arrested development)… it is only the conscious mind that can think outside of “the box of its conditioning”, that grows up into an “adult”... The conscious mind is able to process approximately 40 bits of information per second. But the unconscious mind (subconscious mind) is able to process approximately 40,000,000 bits of information per second... (these are conservative estimates from current brain research)... The unconscious mind (subconscious mind) cannot move outside its fixed programs, it automatically reacts to situations with its previously conditioned behavior responses… and it works without the knowledge or control of the conscious mind. Studies from as far back as the seventies show that our brain begins to prepare for action just over a third of a second before we consciously decide to act... in other words, even when we “think” we are conscious, and in control of our actions, it is the conditioned responses in our unconscious mind that are actually making our decisions for us… essentially we walk through life in a hypnotic trance, because we believe that the voice we hear in our conscious mind is us “thinking” and making decisions, when in fact it is the voice of our conditioned responses… it is the voice of all the people who conditioned (controlled) us, when we were young children, telling us how to act and react… what to believe and think… what is good, and what is bad... etc... The unconscious mind is controlling us 95% of the time!...Neuroscientists have shown that the conscious mind provides 5% or less of our cognitive (conscious) activity during the day – and 5% they say is for the more aware people… The conscious mind cannot cope with the simultaneous "multiple images, feelings, and thoughts” of the unconscious mind, which is the reason why the unconscious mind is “subconscious” to the conscious mind. The conscious mind is simply not able to process and "be conscious" of the unconscious mind, because of its speed and complexity… Telepathy is the universal language of the spirit world… whatever language we speak, other spirits will hear us in their language… it is “perfect communication”... another spirit will know exactly what we mean, and we will know exactly what they mean… it is impossible to lie… The unconscious mind (the spirit that we are) is “telepathic” and can hear the thoughts of other people, and communicate with the subconscious minds of other people and spirits, without our conscious mind being aware of it… it is in this way that our awareness is connected to all other awareness in the universe, so that our awareness is part of the larger universal awareness… this is what creates what the psychologist Carl Jung called the “collective unconscious mind”, a larger human mind of which every individual is a part… The voice of our karma, is the voice of our conditioning… our karma is simply the conditioned reflex responses in our subconscious mind that we have been taught to believe is “reality”… the voice of that conditioning that is always talking to our conscious mind, is “the voice of our karma”… this is how our karma controls our life… the voice is always telling us to act in ways that lead us to produce results that “are our karma” (conditioning)”… for example, if it is our karma to be rich, the voice of our subconscious mind will lead us to riches, because that is how it is programmed… if it is our karma to be poor, the voice will lead us to poverty, again because that is how it is programmed… if it is our karma to commit suicide, the voice will convince us to kill ourselves… if it is our karma to develop a fatal disease, the conditioning will act on our subconscious mind (we are the author of our own health or disease) to produce the fatal disease… We are a spirit with a body, not a body with a spirit… our conscious mind (and personality) is just a temporary superficial interface that allows our spirit to reincarnate in a physical body, and survive in the physical world… while our unconscious mind is the eternal spirit that we are… when a person reincarnates, their past personality and past conscious mind becomes a permanent part of their unconscious mind (which goes from life to life), and a new conscious mind and personality is created… Delusion is what happens when a newborn baby is taught (conditioned) how to survive in the physical world (physical survival), and taught (conditioned) how to survive within the context of the culture that it is born into (personality, mundane social reality)… then when that baby reaches the “age of reason” it is trapped in a “box of reality”… and if that person tries to escape the delusion of that “box of reality”, they are considered “crazy”, and punished… It is the unconscious mind that attains awakening (enlightenment), not the conscious mind… the unconscious mind attains awakening, when its mundane reality (conditioned reflex behavior, karma, and delusion) that it is conditioned with, is permanently destroyed… then after its awakening, with all delusion (conditioning) gone, it becomes like a very gentle and brilliant simple minded giant with magic powers that knows absolutely everything… it is completely reliable and trustworthy, our best friend, our soul mate… with the destruction of “conditioned reality”, the voice of the unconscious mind in the conscious mind is gone… the two minds become one, giving the person a sense of “wholeness” or “completeness”, “lacking nothing”... and there is no longer any conflict, so that all turbulence in the conscious mind ceases, and it is now “empty”, and serenely peaceful… 4)… The “alpha mind”… The mind that was once called the “subconscious mind”, is now properly called the “unconscious mind”... but considering that abundant research has shown it to be the dominate mind, controlling the “conscious mind” at least 95 percent of the time… and that it is an immortal mind that survives the death of our body… and that it is our awareness (consciousness) in the spirit world… and that it is the mind that reincarnates in a new body… and that it is the mind that attains awakening (enlightenment)… calling it the “unconscious mind” is a gross misnomer… I call it the “alpha mind” because it is the “dominate mind”… and because it is us, the eternal spirit that we are...

Maddie Posted November 15, 2014 Hey Dawg Thanks for the feedback. I'm very glad you replied at the time that you did because I have a question about the Budo mantra. I've been using two mantras primarily the "Budo" mantra and the "Zhunti" mantra (which is about a paragraph long). What I noticed sometimes when trying to do that Budo mantra is. 1. My mind becomes extremely busy when I try to do it often. 2. Sometimes in addition to becoming busy when I do it my mind becomes somewhat anxious when I do it. So my question is is this normal? and if so what is going on? And what advice do you have for this and for doing this mantra in general? Are there normal stages of progression in doing the "Budo" mantra? Is there a lot of resistance at the beginning? ect..?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dmattwads, just sit as relaxed as possible, breathing as relaxed as possible, and observe (be aware of) your breath... don't try to control it, let it do whatever it wants to do... just be relaxed and at ease... if you need to block out the voice.in your mind, use the word Bud-dho...hear the sound of inhaling as "Buuuuuud", and hear the sound of exhaling as "dhoooo"... it is just something neutral to focus on, if you need it to block out the voice... be completely indifferent to everything, just observe your breath... just let go of everything... if your attention wanders, just calmly bring it back to your breath... if you can maintain this, it will still your mind and put you into samadhi... reciting a whole paragraph is not likely to still your mind...
