I am really just beginning to grasp the importance of what is happening. Now I truly feel I have the new paradigm. How to bring this to the world?  Honestly, I see no point in having received this light if it must remain occulted. What would be the point? In what way would that help to change the trend of destruction the world is on? And what good is the Avataric descent if its light must remain hidden? Yes, there is an occult action occurring with each such act of seeing. But at a certain point we must reach a threshold, like now, when the plant pushes up above the ground and becomes visible.

... I do feel that the Formula in its application is complete. I feel that just yesterday a crucial element was unveiled precisely for application. It had been withheld until now. Why? Surely it was waiting for this critical moment, this crossroads of destiny.

I know physics stands on the brink of a complete collapse. One little nudge is all that is needed. But are we to wait for three decades like cold fusion before its collapse and the real Formula is known? Do we have the luxury of so much time?

Dark energy or matter is not to be uncovered as we would in ordinary circumstances. This is a property of the Zero. It is ‘dark’ because like the compacted Sound in the Zero, which we cannot hear, we cannot ‘see’ this energy – which is actually not an energy at all. It is an all-pervading cosmic direction or alignment. It ‘holds’ by virtue of this contracting direction in counterbalancing the expansion on this side. Clearly the wrong tools are used in measuring because they do not know what it is exactly. And they apply the laws of physics which hold for the One and its expansion. But this is beyond that, beyond those laws. It is the origin of gravity on this side. And certainly gravity is the force that resists integration. It must because its own root or origin on the other side is unknown. To understand the origin of the gravitational force we must know Time. That knowledge lies ‘on the other side’ – hence it eludes the physicist.

Time is ‘measured’ on this side through the process of birth measurable by the calendar which is a faithful reproduction of the harmonies of our solar system. The December Solstice is the doorway to ‘the other side’ when perihelion occurs and there can be contraction to a point; hence in all advanced cultures it was given prominence, like the temple in Karnak, Egypt, when the Sun rises on the December Solstice exactly between two pillars/walls. How exquisitely the passage to the other side is portrayed.

A calendar like the current one used by Hindus completely distorts the experience. According to the Nirayana astrologers that sunrise would be measured 23 days AFTER the event, and of course the synchronisation would fail.

OM, like the raga/Shruti, also provides the correct understanding of the origin of things. And the three stages of contraction (in the primordial vibration) leading to a Zero/One fourth. So accurate, yet so unproductive in this science-maddened society that has lost all touch with its ancient wisdom.

Thus, the harmony of our solar system, and the Earth’s contribution to the composition, is the display of what lies beyond. Our solar system is unique because it faithfully transcribes in space the grand harmony of the other side. And the contribution of the Earth is to offer the key through the December Solstice of the portal that can carry us beyond. Not to heaven or hell, or into the extra-cosmic, but rather into the deepest dimension of our material reality. We are contracted to a ‘point’ in the deepest recesses of the soul where we experience the very same 9, 6, 3 – or Transcendent, Cosmic/Universal, Individual. Only birth on Earth allows us to do so because the soul is the special attribute of this third planet. We can make of our sojourn an Underworld where the Dark Lord Pluto reigns; or we can, thanks to the supramental Truth-Consciousness, bring what lies in the core of ourselves to the surface and then to establish life on Earth according to those triadic principles of the New Way Formula. The Vishnu Avatar comes for this: to open the way by his birth and death and connected rebirth for this foundational experience.

The embellishment continues on the theme of the ‘cosmological constant’.

I understand the difference between this side and the ‘other’ and why Number is used differently here and there. In the other the issue is essentiality of Being. Therefore whole numbers are used as the measure and the system used is the mathematics of unity. We apply the same system on this side by reducing sums to a ‘seed digit’ in order to arrive at the essentiality.  It is the way we connect to the ‘other side’.

The proof of the system, on this side, is reached through application of the Formula 9, 6, 3, 0-1. This is done by following a series of births equalling those essential numbers. The avataric emanations of Vishnu take birth according to that harmony because they serve as the bridge to the ‘other side’. Without their births we have no non-speculative proof of that essentiality or the bridge linking Essence to Form of this material universe. [See The New Way, Vols. 1, 2, 3. Aeon Books]

The number system universally in use is superbly suited to bringing the highest truth within the easy grasp of humanity. The Zero is of course the prime innovation. When that was ‘seen’ (in India) that seed was planted and the manifestation of Supermind was inevitable. The Zero, like the Shruti, holds the key.

On the ‘other side’ whole tones (in a sequence of triadic quanta) describe accurately the Essence which is carried over to this side in the manifestation of the universe. There is really no separation between the two – essence or essentiality and form, or a creation in matter. We ‘see’ only the latter; the sage ‘sees’ essence or originator and then upholder of Form without division.

So, to discover essential Being in this material creation we reduce sums to their seed digits. That then tells us the Note that resonates through the object or person. But the single-most important aspect of the New Way is the Solar Line. This is how we prove that this harmony, the magnificence of the Formula, originates on ‘the other side’. Without the existence of the Line, falling within the structure of the Formula, or striking these whole tones on this side, in the expansion of that essential Being, there could be no proof of the accuracy of the new cosmology. We do not require complicated mathematics to understand.  We ‘see in understanding’ because we realise the function of the Vishnu Avatars’ periodic appearances to be the proof. With that key alone the proof is presented. Supermind not only creates its own conditions of manifestation, it provides its own proof through the simple understanding of the oneness of 0 and 9.

We ‘see’ the Zero as the womb of that essentiality of Being. We ‘see’ that very same essentiality extended in the universe from that Zero via the reversal that carries the vertical into and through the horizontal. We ‘see’ the Zero as rest, the 9 as motion – but rest born of compaction; and motion born of extension. We ‘see’ both directions as simultaneous features of our universal manifestation – one without the other is separative and delusional. The void, the nothingness, the static peace all describe incomplete perceptions which when the full Truth-Consciousness is unveiled, when the lid of the Sun is finally removed, constitute the Falsehood. They prolong the reign of the Ignorance and the Lord of Death.

That India lies at the centre of the Age of Supermind cannot be doubted. Her role was revealed when the sage first ‘saw’ the Zero. With that, Fullness was ‘seen’ as the womb of creation. The reign of the Void had come to an end in that flash of Seeing. For the rest the 9, on the power of Time, gestated that new creation whose birth occurred in this 9^th Manifestation.

The entire drama is explained by the analogy of music: Over there the 9 notes exist as (triadic quanta) whole tones. In that essentiality they are like pulsations – indeed the pulsations of the Sun, 9 in our 24-hour day. The Sun carries this harmonic pulsation into and through its planetary body. But only the Earth, third in the system, is equipped with the mechanism to render the tones/pulsations struck on the other side audible, measurable. After the reversal, because of movement harmonies are possible based on the 9 ‘tones’. The Zero never ceases to be the upholding Womb – even as its tones/pulsations expand in a ceaseless display of Harmony.

Only in the classical music of India of the Carnatic tradition do we find the most faithful expression of the Supreme Truth. Only in Carnatic music of India can we ‘hear’ the oneness of Essence and Form.

Contraction, the Zero and the Speed of Consciousness

From the December Solstice to approximately January 5^th –  or 0  to 15^th degree Capricorn – Thea introspects. She reviews the year that has passed and prepares for the one that opens after these days ‘out of the calendar’ have passed – the five days over the 360 of the complete zodiacal/calendrical circle, days which the Ancients always considered especially important as a ‘seeding’ period. In the New Way this period completes a cosmological process that  embraces the last three months of the closing year, leading to this Seeding (of Time). One truly plants a ‘seed’ in Time, the power that from the December Solstice onward can carry it to fruition over the months that follow.
This year the Seeding was undertaken by a reading of certain important journal entries, those that marked especially significant turning points in her cosmological work of the past year. One was the revolutionising vision of the nature of Contraction – in our material world this is experienced as gravity. With that yogic breakthrough, the formulation of the new cosmology was completed by this cosmological constant which is the basis of a new paradigm.
As a tribute to the 2012 that we leave behind, with its share of near apocalyptic episodes such as Hurricane Sandy as well as the turmoil across the world in so many walks of life that affect the common people, we see just how the Aquarian Wave is transforming life on this planet. The entire world is marching toward a great Unknown, understandably with a certain amount of trepidation. It is therefore timely to present a series of excerpts from Thea’s journal where she records her yogic experiences to demonstrate that while the world seems poised for catastrophe or collapse of some sort, be this in the political, economic, or social sphere, there is another work going on which indicates that the new world Sri Aurobindo announced is in preparation. The new paradigm beyond science and spirituality – both examples of the old creation that is being surpassed – is solidly taking shape and will soon displace the old models on which a world in collapse had been built.
The New Way promises a future that would seem unrelated to what the human being has known until now. Everything we know and have cherished is being carried away on the Aquarian Wave, while at the same time the new is introduced. There is never a void: one leaves as the other fills the space – but this time with foundations that can support a true new world order of justice, of benevolence, of compassion and of love.  (5 January 2013)

Thea’s Journal

6.4.2012

I have finally seen something that I have been missing since the beginning – contraction and expansion are indeed simultaneous. This was a most accurate perception. But they are not happening here at the same time. Contraction is a property of the Zero, not the One. This has been my mistake, and it is a serious one. Contraction is on the other side; and it is constant. It is that cosmological constant Einstein finally disowned. He had the right perception but since laws of physics and mathematics break down in the singularity, he could not ‘prove’ the point. Indeed, he had always to deal with the Point. He could not even conceive of the Zero. Therein unity holds – i.e., the mathematics of unity. There number IS, whole and complete in itself. Physics, math as we know them cannot explain – much less prove – the elegant simplicity of that Unity. Whole numbers, as number-powers, alone ‘explain’ reality.
The zero/contraction is what holds the universe together. It is the binding force – the eternal Centre. Without that there is no universe at all. And those number-powers encapsulate the Transcendent, the Cosmic, the Individual/soul. These are the triadic principles of all creation, of each created thing. These principles through the 0/1 are at the root of our universal manifestation – they are the components of the individual soul, our vahana in this material creation of 9.
This is the magnificence of the 9 – the number-power of the Divine Mother as India has long understood...
Everything I have perceived is true. But now, 36 years after the most important breakthrough of the Avataric Descent, the final ingredient has come, which has eluded me all along. Yes, contraction and expansion are indeed simultaneous. But I could not formulate accurately and completely how this simultaneity is experienced – factually – in the universe. Now it has come 36 years after the first Seeing. It has come.
On this side we experience expansion. It cannot be otherwise given Time’s ‘arrow’. But contraction is ever present here also. It is not that it ceases at the threshold and expansion takes over. Indian music expresses it perfectly: the Shruti never ceases. It upholds the expansion of Sound that arises from the Silence – silence to us because it is on the other side of our material threshold. Therefore to our senses it appears as Silence. But really it is sound compacted – all sound in seed. We have no faculty to ‘hear’ sound compacted. And this is the marvel and the beauty and the grace of a material manifestation. And more particularly of our Earthly evolution. Here, perhaps unique in the universe, we can see and hear along with the Supreme. To see, to hear his own essence the Supreme requires a creation of the 9. Otherwise IT just IS. But IT cannot know that Is-ness. It is therefore impoverished, incomplete, diminished – unembellished.
Like the raga that compacted Silence experiences itself as embellishment, raga, melody. Therefore there can be an infinite number of ragas because everything is contained in the Zero. That is why nothingness is the falsehood supreme. Only Fullness describes the true reality of our world.
This is a glorious day. The Christians celebrate it as the death of the Son Crucified. They have not gone far enough. They have not seen the Son Victorious. Only India has...
It is curious how this tiny missing piece, just a more finely adjusted, focussed lens can make all the difference in the world. Now perception is whole and sound, and indestructible.
Everything was correct all along: the One is that Fourth of the Solar Line where reversal takes place. Indeed – contraction and expansion, vertical to horizontal. It has all been true, been seen for the past 40 years, but this small element can make all the difference in the world. It alone is victory – the Victory that ever IS.
Yes, the Becoming is the most blessed component of Reality because it allows the Absolute to see and to know his essential Being. Therefore Being and Becoming too are simultaneous because it is that Being that extends, and in the extension of Itself, knows and sees, and experiences Itself.
Einstein caught the tail of it, but the limitations of his discipline would not permit him to ‘cross the threshold’ to the other side. Indeed, that discipline broke down and he had to retreat, calling his cosmological constant the ‘biggest blunder of his life’. Whereas, all he had to do was to take the plunge and discover the essential and complete nature of Reality. But he was trapped by the limitations of his dis-cipline, trapped in the Becoming alone ignoring the oneness of Being and Becoming, of the 0 and the 9.
Today April 6 we reach the bottom of the Core’s Pedestal [of the Mother’s original design] – the point of the Return, of the reversal from the vertical of the descending Ray to the horizontal base of the Mother’s symbol. Truly the inner chamber holds all the secrets of the future realisation. And the future today becomes the present – if we but see.
This is the secret of Oneness. Indeed all is one – there and here. The separation exists only in our limitations, our divisiveness. We must SEE and LIVE that Oneness. In it lies the key to salvation.

Already I am feeling a sort of shift after this morning’s seeing. Somehow this little piece of the puzzle or mosaic had been withheld. I am not foolish enough to believe that all this, especially this breakthrough, depends on me. It is the Divine Grace – indeed Jupiter in this Jupiter year [2012=5=Jupiter’s orbit] we have entered. Its presence has kicked in after the Equinox. Now 36 years after that wonderful birth of the New Way, the final piece has been set in place...
...It is so clear: Einstein’s cosmological constant. So clear. Of course he saw it as a blunder because he could not use the speed of consciousness to cross the threshold via contraction. That’s the key: contraction to a point where maximum speed in this material universe is reached.
The speed of light as constant condemned us to this material universe and kept us from the experience of Oneness. Light is part of this universe of 9, so light speed as constant meant that we always had to function in the One disconnected from the Zero. When the speed of consciousness replaces light as constant, only then can that threshold be breached because we are not confined to expansion, extension of the One. We do penetrate that Zero, just as The Magical Carousel (Chapter 9) describes so beautifully. We have to penetrate the Point right within ourselves. That is the only way. We cannot extend our vision into the past as astronomers and physicists do. In the Point we have Simultaneous Time – time in the seed of itself. Our grace is to be able to experience that essence as it evolves in this material creation of 9 and thereby know the Transcendent, Cosmic and Individual Divine as within our very being, not out and beyond.
What a falsehood spirituality of the Age of Pisces has been. Only Supermind can describe the true Reality....
