On the Nature of Centreship

A Message to India

Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet

Director, Aeon Centre of Cosmology

11.1.2013

‘The vehemence of the Amnesty report at this time is what made all this come into greater focus. Secularism…The point is, secularism might indeed intend to give equal rights to all religions, and all the other slogans that go with it. But this is precisely the point: the real battle, the real element being worked out for the Earth is just that: Is it to be the religious consciousness, or the spiritual. This is what ‘Hindu Dharma’ is all about. The Eternal Dharma, that ‘core’ means a SPIRITUAL foundation rather than religious. The West upholds the religious, because that is all it knows, that is as far as it has gone. India alone in the world upholds the Spiritual and not at all the religious. For the past 2000 years, and particularly the past 200, and particularly the past 20, this struggle has been the real motivator of all our problems.

‘Let me put it more clearly. The only way to a world of unity and harmony—in other words, exactly the opposite of what we have—is when the basis of the Order is the Spiritual. Unity can only be achieved if that consciousness is the determining force. On the other hand, the religious consciousness is the force of division and disunity. If we want to perpetuate that old world, then we must cling to the religious consciousness, we must ‘protect’ all religions, we must ensure that our nation is founded on that ‘right’, because then we will ensure that it is the religious consciousness which governs India and therefore the world.’ (PNB, extract from a letter to Girilal Jain, 11.5.1991)

Once again hostilities have erupted on the border between India and Pakistan. There is no need to discuss the causes of the recent turmoil; periodically, for one reason or another, this does come to pass. And if we scrutinize these happenings in the light of the new Indo-centric cosmology, it will be clear that such periodic upheavals will continue. The issue is therefore to examine the causes of Partition – the root of it all – in a manner unknown to our contemporary disciplines. The tools I use are cosmological, just as India has done since this civilisation began a slow and steady evolution across the astrological ages. It is as if a building plan had been drawn up using these tools to help the civilisation transition into the time-edifice of our current 9^th Manifestation, a period during which India is to become established as the accepted centre of the Earth – that is, the planet’s soul-centre.

A Centre defined: superpower irrelevancy

It is appropriate at this point to define centreship, if it may be so called. It is not to be confused with the term superpower. Though this may cause disbelief in many on the subcontinent, it needs to be stated that the destiny of India has nothing to do with being recognised as a superpower. On the contrary. Even to apply the word today to the United States of America is inadequate because the presence or even the necessity of a superpower implies a global society poised binarily – the unavoidable end-product of what I call the Binary Creation. This condition – or affliction, if you will – collapsed in the 1980s when the Wall came down and the Soviet Union, one of the extremities of the binary superpower polarity, fell apart. We refer to what happened then as a ‘velvet revolution’ because there does not seem to be any clear root-cause for such a colossal and relatively peaceful remaking of the world order. But the truth is the dismantling was the first visible effect of what I call the Aquarian Wave which came about due to a set of conspiring circumstances with that singular objective. Everything and everyone then converged to further the operation, to bring an end to a world poised on a binary pole of tension.

However the truth be told, it was the Time-Spirit in control of the play of circumstance and who brought the Wall down and did away with the binary condition that had produced two superpowers wedded to interminable hostility. Or rather, that decade marked the beginning of a process of transition to a true new world order based on unity and a perceived oneness governing our societal exchanges. Therefore I stated that the issue of superpower does not exist in the new order that is already evolving in our midst. It was the correct nomenclature for the Binary Creation – i.e., the linear structure based on a fragmentary, divisive outlook ruled by Mind as the highest principle influencing the evolving species. If we wish to understand the limitations of a species under the aegis of Mind we need only observe the world the human being has created. Our societies across the globe have clearly reached a point of near collapse, the finality of just such an incomplete condition.

In order to rectify the situation adjustments are brought about. To this end there is a yogic process behind any given break-through, particularly when a monumental transition to a new spherical order of unity is the objective. Indeed the current passage was preceded by just such a breakthrough. It occurred in the first half of that singularly-important ennead of the last century, 1980-89. What occurred in 1983, to be precise, was a process of centering and consequent re-alignment, the outcome of bringing into being, through yogic processes, the Centre that fills the Void. It is to be noted that the breakthrough, though yogic and unknown to the layperson, had a cosmological foundation. It was the first step on the road to establishing a new world order with its accompanying revolutionising paradigm, a product of a faculty higher than Mind.

The binary see-saw

What relation does this have to the current disturbances on the border? The question is pertinent because the issue underlying the trials and tribulations of the past 100 years on the subcontinent is society’s determined refusal to eschew the now-surpassed paradigms of the 8^th Manifestation and to give way to the new unitary order. The goal of the process is for India to take possession of the world’s cosmological centre; that is, the geo-cosmological Centre as presented in The Partition of India (2009). That document describes the cosmic properties of centrality upon which the new world order is based – but it is more than that. This new Indo-centric cosmology finally and conclusively inserts our very planet into the cosmic harmony in her rightful place; thereafter she can contribute legitimately to the overall Harmony on her own terms.

This issue demands an in-depth analysis because the hostilities on the subcontinent will not come to an end unless India updates the vision of herself and cosmos that she carries over from the now-concluded (1926) Age of Pisces. We note that it was precisely around the end of Pisces and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius that a definitive consolidation of the Hindu/Muslim divide became established. This was made possible because India had lost her cosmic moorings. By the end of the Age of Pisces she roamed anchorless in the cosmic sea and could therefore be held captive in the binary epistemology of the former Age. To do that Hinduism had to allow itself to be treated as a religion, a categorisation Bharat’s ancient roots could never allow. In the Vedic Age and even in the pre-Christian Old World, exclusivist religions did not exist. They are products of the so-called Kaliyuga which is purported to have begun at Krishnavatar’s demise. And I have pointed out in earlier publications (The Gnostic Circle, 1975, Aeon Books) that the famous kali darkness lasts only until the new light of a principle higher than Mind can effectively take over and begin to re-mould the species in preparation for the new times ahead.

Those times are upon us. First of all we need to dismantle the binary polarity of Hindu/Muslim because it is illusory. Hinduism cannot be accommodated within a linearity of this nature, something entirely foreign to its essence. But the next question to ask is how did it factually happen that the ancient pre-religion civilisation of Vedic origin became trapped on this see-saw finally resulting in Partition?

The answer lies precisely in the fact that India lost the anchor she had securely maintained in the cosmic surround. Despite protests to the contrary, her renowned ‘cosmic connection’ became disrupted during the Age of Pisces when the rise of Religions took centre-stage and moulded the world we know today. The multi-faceted constellation of beliefs enjoyed in the pagan world – that is, the situation prevailing in every society and culture across the globe – could not be accommodated during the Age of Pisces, an astrological period known for its self-undoing propensities. The limitation of Exclusivism was the required instrument of the time.

In the extract of the 1991 letter quoted at the beginning of this message, the issue was religious or spiritual. This conforms to the terminology the world was familiar with at the time; if we were to use different terms to express the newness that was taking shape, hardly any would be able to follow. I have included the extract precisely for this reason: to reveal the limitations that closet India in a pattern inherited from the former Dark Age. In clinging to the old formulas India is found to be as rigid as other conservative and even fundamentalist societies, though Hindus believe the contrary. Fundamentalism has many guises; precisely for this reason it is so hard to eradicate.

Much yoga has passed under the bridge of time since 1991. The breakthrough of the 1980s discussed earlier set on its way the first concrete attempts at a very different understanding of the matter. The unitary consciousness being established since then could not occur on the basis of spirituality as its supporting pillar. In fact, the dichotomy Religion or Spirituality, as it has reached us in the Age of Aquarius, was the result of passage through an age of darkness. This binary terminology did not exist in the Vedic period. Then it was Dharma and a society faithful to its dictates that was the sustaining pillar of the civilisation. Contemporary thinkers have translated the word as religion because when this came about we were in the thick of the Binary Creation, moving toward a definitive collapse that would begin with the onset of the new age in 1926.

To rid the world of the Binary, a faculty considerably higher than Mind had to be introduced in the evolutionary matrix through yogic means, precisely because Mind, dualistic as it is, was the begetter of the religious consciousness. We can go further to state that the spirituality inherited from the former Age bears all the limitations of a mental constriction. Finally, it has become the staunchest propagator of the strategy of escape and therefore the primary cause of the Earth’s woes. This statement will be found disturbing, but if one has the courage to probe the matter deeply, there can be no other conclusion.

When the motor of evolution reached the point when it was ready to carry the species up the ladder to a higher level, the mental constriction breathed its last, but not before energetically leaving its stamp on the species in the form of a distortion of the very element that would be its sustenance in the new order of unity. Therefore, through yogic methods the 9^th Avatar (not to be confused with Gautam the Buddha) did succeed in imprinting the principle that would displace Mind and cause the earlier dichotomy to be superseded – that is, the truth-conscious Supermind. The decades following 1926 consolidated this imprinting, and gradually with Mind superseded the higher principle has been able to create the conditions for its complete emergence.

Consequently, at this point we can no longer revert to the old nomenclature in the effort to convey the contours of the new world order.

Sphericality defined

While the political/diplomatic binary world of superpowers has collapsed, the linear hold of religions is merely at the initial stage of responding to the Time-Spirit’s pressure for change. An unmistakable indication is the intransigence observed in a rising fundamentalism across the globe. No society is free from this type of reaction to the Aquarian Wave whose intent is to do away with the Binary Creation under whatever guise it presents itself. The goal, I repeat, is a Unitary Creation, spherically poised around a centre, no longer linear. This will be completely set in place when India agrees to accept her centre-ship, when, in a reversal of the poet’s words, the Centre WILL hold. She will then abandon the mesmerising aspiration to become a superpower, for that simply indicates a clinging to the old binary formulation with its now outdated nomenclature that does not express the true reality of the new world order she is destined to facilitate. It indicates her reticence to move ahead on the crest of the Aquarian Wave and to be the channel for the ‘waters’ the Water Carrier dispenses upon Earth from his cosmic kumbha or jug. Millions of Hindus celebrate this astrological event at Allahabad precisely during the month of the Aquarian Kumbha. But the point is missed when the oneness is overlooked between the ‘water’ he carries in his kumbha and those the heavenly Ganga releases periodically upon Earth – provided the correct anchoring is done in calendrical/zodiacal time to permit reception of the River-Goddess’ boundless grace, just as the myth describes. The ‘jug’ is filled with her beneficent, re-vitalising energies; therefore her sign, Capricorn, precedes Aquarius in the wheel and the celebration should rightfully begin in her period – more specifically, when her sacred Source is reached in our annual zodiacal time-journey. This is January 3^rd in calendar time each year, or when the Sun is seen to occupy the 12^th degree of the sign. As centre, India can bridge the heavens to engage in this replenishing directly from the Source. (The New Way, Vol.2, Chapter 9, Aeon Books, 1981)

Pervasive senselessness: a civilisation without ‘purpose’

We have discarded the true Harmony. We have pulled up the Anchor from the ecliptic wherein we and all the planets orbit the Sun, the Anchor which should serve to steady us in the cosmic surround. For instance, we have allowed the split between astrology and astronomy to rule our lives and to limit this ancient civilisation to a binary shadow of its former unitary poise. What we fail to realise is that the split between the acknowledged mother-of-all-sciences and the contemporary discipline we call scientific cosmology, which is based on an astronomy devoid of sense and purpose, is the root-cause of much of the pain the Earth suffers. Indeed, astrology’s primary aim is precisely to offer sense and purpose to life on this planet. In this view evolution is part and parcel of the cosmic harmony which, through the zodiac or the Vedic journey along the 12-stage ecliptic plane, that sense could be known and consciously lived in a progressive evolution to ever higher plateaus of consciousness-being. It is this divine Purpose the enriching waters of Ganga nourish.

The ancients did not revel in the observation of phenomena as an end in itself. Their goal was simply to preserve the Anchor intact and to assure that the individual and society would never lose the cosmic connection by an incorrect positioning in the ecliptic plane in orbit of the grand luminary, a misplacement the currently-used Nirayana system of astrology and ritual timings promotes. A ‘dark age’ or a Kaliyuga is defined by that loss: the light of the Sun is eclipsed and an all-pervading darkness chills the mind and spirit of humanity, allowing for all sorts of distortions which blot out the soul’s luminosity. But exposure to the light by yogic processes is the key, failing which the Harmony continues but the perceiver can no longer find his place therein. The vision of Oneness is lost and the result is pure and simple chaos.

That is the definition of our present collapsing world. It is being carried away by the Aquarian Wave as by a veritable tornado, but no one really knows why and when the disaster began or what its finality will be. The Anchor is pulled out of the cosmic sea and like a rudderless ship civilisation meanders aimlessly toward a sombre unknown. This is the inevitable end to a world where sense and purpose have been lost, to a world beholden to the rule of Mind.

Is a total devastation to be permitted? One thing above all else is certain: the emergence of this new creation is under the complete control of the Time-Spirit, more apparent now, on the basis of the new paradigm, than ever before. But it operates with an impeccable control when order prevails; chaos is its enemy and therefore the task we are set upon is to re-establish that Order, but now in the new mould provided by the truth-conscious Supermind. Therefore, to know the goal of the Zeitgeist’s pre-planned new Order we must turn to the cosmic harmony itself to discover the nature of the anchoring that can create order out of chaos. We must have the courage to discard the cosmic formulas of the Dark Age and, above all, to realise that India cannot pretend to re-shape herself and re-fashion her destiny in any manner other than what the Indo-centric cosmology establishes. She must do away with those time-bound formulas that are carrying this civilisation farther and farther away from consciously occupying the geo-cosmological Centre that is her dharmic right.

Centreship as ‘cosmological constant’

It needs to be emphasised that the role of a planetary geo-cosmological Centre is to serve as the bridge to ‘the other side’ for the entire planet, as defined in the new paradigm beyond science and spirituality. (See: Beyond Contemporary Scientific Paradigms – an essay on ‘End Time’) That is, the Centre provides a direct connection to the source of those ‘heavenly waters’ of the sacred Ganga that the Water Carrier dispenses upon Earth in this Aquarian Age. For this reason her astrological ruler is Capricorn/Makar, the zodiacal sign that opens before us with the December Solstice each year when the Light begins to increase and when, in a direct connection, the Earth and the heavens can be bridged to receive the grace India deserves when she consciously embraces her role as cosmological constant for the world. India as geo-cosmological Centre is to the Earth what the soul is to individual incarnation. The soul contains the individual’s private portal to the Source. Similarly, India, as the planet’s own soul, is the link or the portal to an ever-replenishing, eternal fount of light and power and bliss. Unique among cultures she is the cosmological constant that connects the comity of nations to ‘the other side’ where the source of Light and Power is found.

In the effort to encourage a dismantling of the old and the definitive unveiling of the new cosmology that establishes India as centre, I am presenting once again The Partition of India wherein that geo-cosmology is clearly defined – and with it the understanding that the end of all conflicts will come about when the updating is completed and India re-anchors herself in the cosmic harmony she lost touch with centuries ago and which then left her vulnerable and empty. This emptiness permitted the possession and ravaging of the body of Mother India time and time again, leaving her subject to lesser effete formulations, in contrast to the robustness of her Vedic Soul with its anchor in the true Zero of the cosmic surround. In that Zero lies fullness. An exuberance of its multi-faceted Self that does not fear diversity because as Centre of a circumscribing firmament it can accommodate all and everything in the periphery it holds to its bosom in the true expression of oneness and unity that destiny demands of this sacred Bhoomi. That true ayanamsha, or the 0 degree beginning of the zodiacal wheel on the March Equinox and no later, is the means to enjoy stability in the midst of an evolving world.

The great secret is stability and change, rest and motion, or 0 and 9, as a simultaneous experience of unity and oneness. This new Order can become a reality on Earth but only by and through India because of her destined ‘centreship’, because of which she can bring Swar to Earth.

Contraction, the Zero and the Speed of Consciousness - Part III

I should have known that such a seeing would extend itself to perception after perception. The latest is perhaps the best of all.
We always marvel at the perfect harmony of our solar system, particularly displayed in the phenomenon of eclipses. But we must always remember that the 9 functions there as well – the cycle revolves around 18. The space phenomenon simply displays then the harmony of Time from the other side – whole tones transcribed here.
The exquisite harmony of our universe has no non-speculative explanation. We invoke ‘God’ to settle the matter, which explains nothing. It is all far more ‘material’. We must only re-focus our lens to carry us into essentials and not take refuge in speculations and abstractions.
The universe is what it is because the creative upholding Womb is what it is. Therefore our solar system, for example, can only carry that essentiality into the extension of Itself in space. When we stand in awe of the harmony that surrounds us, we are standing in awe of the face of God. The materialist and the spiritualist will argue the issue forever and the twain shall never meet. Both are right – yet, both are wrong. They have, neither of them, gone deep enough. The cosmologist believes that in the depth of space he will find the answer. Thus he penetrates ever deeper into the past – moving thereby farther and farther away from that portal through which he can gain entrance to the secret chamber of his own soul and touch the essence of Harmony.
Of course the upholder of Intelligent Design must sustain that only a Godlike intelligence would create the perfection we see about us. Out of that equivalence, however, he must exclude the human being because his imperfections are anything but Godlike.
It is all far more ‘mechanical’: whole tones of contraction – the contraction of the original triadic building blocks – become the universe. Holding within that compacted seed,  the essence of Harmony, when expansion takes over only that triadic harmony can become the material universe.
There is no division – cut and dry; there is only reversal of the 0 to the One which is the fourth principle of integration. Indeed, without that 0 to 1 there is no universe, nothing binding and integrating.

[8.1.2013, at the time of posting: It is to be noted that an extension of this avataric formula, which ends in 0 to 1 and is such a significant part of the process of material manifestation, lies at the basis of all computer science and technology. A similar example of application of the avataric formula would be the structure of Carnatic music. I had written in my journal (7.4.2012) that the ragas can be infinite because of the triadic compaction, on the other side, in the Zero. But this is not entirely accurate. The collection of ragas encapsulates the LAWS of universal manifestation which are determined beyond the threshold of the One, to be ‘extended’ on this side of the material demarcation. That is, the ragas will, in their totality, necessarily be multiples of 3, 6, or 9, according to the measure of our solar system at any given point in the precessional movement of the equinoxes – i.e., the passage of the astrological manifestation/ages. Presently they are 72 it appears, 6 x 12 (or 9x8), indicating an incomplete formulation as yet. The raga structure provides the cosmological foundation directly from the Zero/compaction as experienced on the other side. When the System expands it is reflected in the laws which provide the foundation for expansion in the material universe of 9. Therefore, the drone/Shruti is the single-most important element in classical music, without which order, cosmos could not exist ‘on this side’. And hence, the embellishment/ improvisation on any raga is equally an exercise in supreme order or cosmos – never chaos. There is no other music found anywhere on the globe today that so faithfully transcribes the entire philosophical/cosmological perceptions of the Ancients as the classical music of India. By this simple, single element – the drone – that perception has been encapsulated and HONOURED across the Ages.]

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?

   

12:20 PM

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.

23.15 PM

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....
