   ‘At present mankind is undergoing an evolutionary crisis

     in which is concealed a choice of its destiny…’

          Sri Aurobindo

The malaise of our civilisation is not an inchoate or unpredictable development. Rather, it is the logical, foreseeable result of thousands of years of partial and ineffective spiritual visions and incomplete philosophical systems. These have always been the driving force behind the evolution of higher mental forms. Therefore, if our civilisation stands at a critical juncture at present, it is not in the secular and scientific domain that we must search for the cause of the decay. We must discover what has been lacking in the dimension of existence that moulds the more external and material patterns which condition life on this planet.

Once the root of the problem is located in its true area of causation, necessarily a change must be introduced in that sphere before the more external levels can be influenced. Thus if we can locate the root cause of the decay in that more essential domain, our task of bringing about a change in the individual and in society and of establishing a new world order on Earth is greatly facilitated.

Indeed, the crux of the problem lies here: for thousands of years sages, saints, yogis, philosophers, and men and women of wisdom have described the purpose of birth on this planet as simply a passage to a reality beyond not only our planetary home but entirely out of the cosmic dimension. The course our civilisation has taken can therefore be directly connected to this factor. The influence a vision of this nature has wielded has been devastating—for it has carried the planet and its multiple societies to the brink of total annihilation.

We may call this development a conspiracy of the spiritual elite which gradually influenced the whole tenure of life on Earth, spreading its tentacles of influence through religions and philosophical systems during the past several thousands of years, but now through scientific, political and socio-economic systems. The latter can invariably trace their inspiration to some spiritual or philosophical source. For even our most material ideologies that apparently deny the higher realities of existence and focus entirely on the physical dimension, have done so by virtue of a reaction to these more metaphysical postulations.

Many profound thinkers throughout the world have perceived that it is only a spiritual renaissance that can save our civilisation. Only if we attain a different consciousness, rooted in some higher seeing, can there be any real change, they feel. This may well be true, but what is not appreciated is that the present chaos is a direct outcome of our past mystic and spiritual perceptions. There are two aspects to this development. One is the course spirituality took in the West, which founded itself on a certain form of negation of life; and the other is the Eastern orientation, in its own way equally a denial of life.

In the West, out of denial and suffering there developed a certain strength. Believers had been encouraged to accept suffering as a way to God and the means to attain a heaven beyond this life. Indeed, life on Earth came to be considered a prison and the fall of the soul. Salvation, through negation of life, could only come in a beyond, namely in some transcendent Heaven. The final outcome of this negation has been the materialistic philosophies and political ideologies which the West has given to the world. Presently there is a clear dichotomy on the planet, whereby western civilisation has aligned itself clearly and decisively with what has come to be called in spiritual circles the ‘materialistic consciousness’.

However, in the East we find a similar denial of life, also as an outcome of its spirituality. Interestingly, this negation took hold of the consciousness of eastern wisemen at about the same time that a similar denial caught hold of their western counterparts. About the end of the first millennium Indian spirituality veered fully toward a quest for otherworldliness: the philosophies of the day made the conclusive proclamation that all creation in matter was an ‘illusion’, a deceptive veil that seekers of Truth must tear through in order to reach the immutable, immobile, trans-cosmic and static Brahman; or a Self devoid of all relations in this material web of time and space.

Thus at approximately the same period in history, the stamp of other-worldliness and denial of life and the planet’s own truth of being and purpose as a home of an evolving species, became firm pillars of our civilisation. This conditioned everything. This denial coloured all our perceptions and gradually moulded every pattern we evolved for the regulation of our individual and collective life. And what we are faced with today is simply the ultimate display of that denial and negation of life. The human being has carried the formula of this negation to its fullest extremes: What was seen as the highest spiritual poise has been carried over to the material realm, or the stage upon which all the ideals and more ethereal concepts of humankind are played out; with the predictable result that now science has furnished the race with the ultimate powers for its own destruction. If the only purpose of life on this planet is to escape it somehow, never more to return, then we are wholly justified in seeking means to destroy this springboard base as the ultimate and conclusive ‘solution’.

It is important to see clearly that the root of this problem is directly connected to the religious dogmas and spiritual visions that have conditioned our living since time immemorial. Spirituality is not a static expression. It has evolved pari passu with the material evolution. In fact, there is only ONE evolution, one principle evolving through the myriad forms that constitute our world. This ‘consciousness’ has two facets—material and spiritual. But both respond to the same underlying energy and drive.

Consequently, to posit the ultimate solution in either the spirituality we know today or in materialism, with its own brand of denial of life, is inadequate. Indeed, such attempts have consistently failed. Spirituality can only offer old solutions which were themselves largely the causes of the decay. Likewise, materialistic answers are prisoners of the same insufficiencies; and continuing as we are, they will drive us to a total destruction in order to play out the drama of denial of life that spirituality has constantly espoused in one form or another, under one disguise or another.

To accurately assess the situation it is required that we examine the problem deeply, in an effort to reach the core of the matter and discover the fount from which both science and spirituality receive their driving force. Therefore, it is necessary to perceive what stands behind the play of forces; and to do so we must come to a more enlightened understanding of the evolutionary process itself. This will provide us with a more holistic assessment of the condition of the highest instrument nature makes use of for the purpose of the evolution of the species, in order to effect this upward march to ever better forms of consciousness and life: the mental human being.

For this is the self-evident purpose of evolution. It is to bring forth evermore perfect forms in order to create more complex and sophisticated networks or patterns of structured energy that can express more harmonious states of consciousness-being. Our present stage is merely one step along the evolutionary way, albeit a decisive one. We have reached a major evolutionary turning point. There is a choice: Before us lies a totally new way of life and by consequence a new world order. For this, a finer, more refined instrument has to manifest. And this is the major focus of the present crisis. We are in the process of evolving a human instrument capable of sustaining the greater cosmic forces at play through life and matter on this planet, without experiencing destructive collapse of energies or succumbing to the old ways of escape through outdated solutions and methods the world has known until now.

The human instrument as it is presently constituted pivots a void. At its centre lies a ‘black hole’ into which energies collapse, cave in, dissolve; resulting ultimately in decay and death. And out of this condition of the instrument, through which the human consciousness perceives the reality beyond, came the projection of a world in chaos and collapse and hence the perception that salvation, of whatever order and under whatever guise, lay beyond this material universe and, above all, away from this woeful planet Earth. The demon of the drama was seen to be the senses, which wisemen understood to be the limiting factor which distorts a reality that somehow could be disconnected from the body and experienced separately, free from our physical organs of perception and hence disengaged from the world of material creation, out of which and within which these senses have evolved. Thus, ways were devised to liberate the seeker from the physical, sensual instrument, limited by its own apparently untransformable insufficiencies.

To be more specific, such projections and perceptions of our condition are the logical outcome of a species ill-poised, but for reasons quite different than those given in current religious, mystic and spiritual explanations. The human being has an off-centre pivot of his bodily instrument, which results in a distorted perception of our world; but which is, paradoxically, caused by the perception itself. Consequently, to alter that perception it is required that concurrently we shift this axis of being—in the species—and allow evolution to carry us to a new and higher destiny.

The human instrument, an intrinsic part of the solar system and the universal harmony, is structured energy just as any other microcosmic or macrocosmic body. The human being has its ‘axis’ also, around which the individual frame is organised and because of which a separate entity can come into existence and sustain itself without dispersion, adding to this magnificent display of multiplicity within unity, which is the key feature of our material world. But because we are as yet merely a transitional species, albeit evolving to a higher form, the present ‘axis’ and its location within the body, which has come into being in accordance with certain evolutionary laws, encourages atavism as the single most important driving force of the species.

Over the ages, wisemen, philosophers, seers, mystics, have sought through various means to alter this condition. In place of the inertia of atavism they have sought to install a higher purpose. But the inadequate condition of the instrument through which perception is made, provided only a partial understanding of the problem; and hence the techniques which were devised in order to help the human being to find release from this limiting function were in themselves inconclusive and did nothing to alter in any way conditions on the planet. Matters progressively worsened, until finally, seeing the gravity of the situation, all those who in some way have been concerned with this problem, came to a dramatic impasse. Finding that it was apparently impossible to change this evolutionary determinism, all spiritual and religious paths proffered methods of escape from the ‘coils of this corruptible flesh’ as the only way to salvation, and to seek dissolution of the consciousness in a transcendent Beyond or a nirvanic Void. Not only has this done nothing to change conditions on Earth, it has complicated the task of discovering the solution. And finally we find ourselves, as a species, facing possible annihilation.

Let us demonstrate the subtle ways in which this notion of irredeemability has penetrated the thinking of even those philosophers whom one would expect to perceive the position differently, primarily because they are indefatigably engaged in the task of instructing men and women the world over on the ways to a better life. But a better life where? If it is here, on this planet, then the flaws that emerge in these teachings must be pointed out, which will serve to expose the fact that on the basis of just such erroneous visions the human condition is what it is and cannot hope to change. Rather, the condition becomes compounded.

To illustrate, we may quote a statement of one of the most eminent thinkers of our times, the late J. Krishnamurti: ‘Truth cannot be exact. What can be measured is not truth.’ (Krishnamurti’s Notebook, Harper & Row, 1976, p.24)

This declaration is sure to appeal to all those who have become disenchanted with life in the body and in the material universe of which measure is the salient feature, and who have subsequently posited the goal of their quests in some extra-cosmic heaven or transcendent Beyond. For, what is Krishnamurti really stating?

It is simply this: the higher reality is not of this world, measureable in time and space, and any such attempt to find truth within this material (measureable) universe is futile. Hence this statement is a denial of life and fosters a totally divisive consciousness (certainly not the aim of his teaching efforts on the surface), whereby truth is OUTSIDE of time and space and hence beyond our world. God, the supreme Reality, or Truth is not, according to Krishnamurti, found in what is measurable.

It is this sort of postulation that has carried us to the point of such a tremendous evolutionary crisis. And lamentably, it is men and women concerned pre-eminently with the spiritual well-being of humankind who have contributed most to this situation, either by encouraging the faithful to live rightly and morally—but only for the purpose of reaching ‘heaven’ after death; or else by subtly and more often unknowingly, as in the case of Krishnamurti, consolidating the perception of an untransformable, irredeemable material creation, into which the soul and spirit of the human being has fallen and out of which some form of escape must be found in order to know truth in its transcendent, pristine and uncontaminated purity.

Krishnamurti provides us with another example of the way in which this vision has permeated the intelligentsia, in quarters that one could not have anticipated. Of late two books have appeared with transcripts of his conversations with the physicist David Bohm. It is interesting to observe that Krishnamurti succeeds in carrying Bohm, a physicist and hence a person supremely trained in the art of Measure, into his vision of a featureless void, in which time is an illusion and there is no becoming. A portion of their conversation will suffice to illustrate the nature of the problem:

JK: I am asking you as a physicist, is this universe based on time?

DB: I would say no, but you see, the general way…

JK: That is all I want. You say no! And can the brain, which has evolved in time…?

DB: Well, has it evolved in time? Rather, it has become entangled in time. Because the brain is part of the universe, which we say is not based on time.

JK: I agree.

DB: Thought has entangled the brain in time.

JK: All right. Can that entanglement be unravelled, freed, so that the universe is the mind? You follow? If the universe is not of time, can the mind, which has been entangled in time, unravel itself and so be the universe?

And further on, Krishnamurti makes this revealing statement:

‘…to be free of becoming? That is the root of it. To end becoming…   Of course, there is only complete security in nothingness!’ (The Ending of Time, Harper & Row, 1985)

This clearly, is the perception that must change if at all a new species and a new world order can safely take their place upon the planet for which they are destined. This calls for a complete readjustment in the ‘lens of our seeing’, precisely our ‘instrument of measure’, whereby the Earth comes into focus not as some eternal, irredeemable Hell that a chastising Creator has condemned us to, but rather the planet that serves a noble purpose in the cosmic order. This purpose is to evolve continuously higher and better forms of life. At present the human being is in transition toward a new condition. The breakdown we witness about us, inclusive of the marvels of technology that the human mind has brought into being, is an indication of that new order that is arising. The axis of the human instrument is being encouraged to shift to a higher pivot, whereby the present atavism is no longer a rigid cross to which we are nailed as a race. Rather, the new species is liberated from this compelling drive and begins then a more conscious participation in this grand act of Becoming through which a new instrument is being wrought. But for this to occur, the orientation of our quest and its consequent goal, based on a truly new perception of the higher reality of existence, must shift. The direction must cease to be otherworldly, no matter how camouflaged this may be, as noted by the example furnished above. The answer lies here, on Earth, in the body—but transformed by the power of a new seeing.

How is this achieved? The new axis is not metaphysical. It is a pivot that comes into being in accordance with precise evolutionary laws involving time. By working with time in a particular manner, it is possible to restructure the consciousness, and ultimately the physical being, around a higher pivot. This cannot be accomplished while religions and the old spirituality block the process by emphasis on a metaphysical experience that disengages the human being from any spiritually and materially meaningful contact with the physical world, and consequently absolves him from any responsibility therein. According to these now outdated ways, the purpose of life was to somehow find escape from it, it either expiate one’s sins and reach heaven, or to work out a karma and thereby become freed from taking birth again on this woeful planet. In the midst of such a conditioning, it was not possible to alter the evolutionary pattern, insofar as the means to do so, in particular a conscious work with time, were denied their truth and the part they played to attain a higher reality.

The new world is a world in which both the being and the becoming are harmonised in the vision. Therefore Sri Aurobindo describes the choice of destiny that faces mankind at this crisis point as an accepting and embracing precisely of the becoming, as the means to attain the ultimate apotheosis, an evolutionary leap to a totally new status:

‘The significance of our existence here determines our destiny: that destiny is something that already exists in us as a necessity and a potentiality, the necessity of our being’s secret and emergent reality, a truth of its potentialities that is being worked out; both, though not yet realised, are even now implied in what has been already manifested. If there is a Being that is becoming, a Reality of existence that is unrolling itself in Time, what that being, that reality secretly is, is what we have to become, and so to become is our life’s significance.’

                        (The Life Divine, Chapter 28)

While the old degenerates into chaos and begins its collapse, there is simultaneously a work in progress to evolve a new species. The process entails, however, a laying of correct foundations. That is, a new ‘blueprint’ is being evolved, the lines of which are drawn by time, the power of evolution for the gestation of any new form.

The new ‘blueprint’ being established at present is a pattern of harmony. Indeed, its inspirer is the closest, most complete pattern of harmony that we can observe and of which we are an intrinsic part. It is the solar system—seen with a new eye and an entirely new and different instrument of perception and measurement. This blueprint of a new consciousness-being will provide the basis for a new world order. The outcome is a planetary society, inspired in its governance by the very harmonics of our System and in particular founded upon a vision that sees and accepts the Earth as the place where upon this progression is destined to occur.

But foremost in this evolutionary leap is the question of the purpose of evolution; and by consequence the purpose of our planetary home within the scheme of the cosmic order. It is clear that while we continue to turn to the old spirituality for solutions to our present state of collapse, we are only compounding that collapse, insofar as all spirituality considers life in this cosmos to be a fall and posits salvation in some form of a Beyond, unevolving and static. The dramatic shift that is required is then the complete refocusing of the lens we are provided with for evolution on Earth, and the resultant consciousness that introduces an entirely new direction in our perceiving. We cease to deny life and material creation as channels for expression of the highest truth principle. Rather, we see these as instruments on Earth of what Sri Aurobindo has called, the ‘life divine’.

There is a tested method to establish this new blueprint. It utilises time as the creative power for this revolutionary activity. By a specific knowledge of the mechanics of our solar system and the relation of the planetary harmony to time, as experienced on Earth and in the human body, a shift is brought about in the consciousness-being of the individual practitioner, whereby a new pivot is established in the body, no longer prisoner of atavistic drives but responsive to a higher purpose. On that basis a truly new harmony establishes itself within the individual and his society. There is no longer a collapse of energies but rather a sort of mini-solar system manifests as a nuclear compound from where new influences emerge. Gradually these accumulate and extend and eventually draw into the orbit of the new System an increasingly wider sphere; until finally the entire planet becomes the home of this higher planetary society.

What evolves is therefore neither a new spirituality nor a new science or material ideology. It is something beyond all these known methods but that miraculously harmonises and integrates all the expressions of mind, life, and matter in a splendid act of synthesis. The truth of our world is a magnificent manifoldness, expressing an exquisite diversity. But this multiple diversity is upheld and sustained by a power of integration and arises in a field of oneness—just as our solar system is an expression of a superb manifold harmony within an integrating oneness.

This is an evolutionary process which respects the being as well as the becoming. Hence it does not seek to obliterate the cosmic harmony which is rooted in time and is the instrument for the Becoming. Rather, it evolves by the aid of those laws. Thus we can applaud Ilya Prigogine when he declares, ‘I want to feel the evolution of things. I don’t believe in transcending, but in being embedded in a reality that is temporal.’ (OMNI, May, 1983)

The critical crossroad we have reached is mirrored in the expansion of this very solar system to the observing eye of humankind. During the past several hundred years we have seen the System increase by three planets. While over this same period, pari passu with this expansion, the consciousness of the species and the condition of our civilisation have also undergone singular alterations. An acceleration in the evolution of consciousness never before witnessed has set in during this period, particularly heightened in our century. But what is required now, that ‘choice of destiny’, as Sri Aurobindo has called it, is a conscious collaboration with this process. Prior to this critical juncture the human being was carried along on the crests of the evolutionary wave in an unconscious fashion. But now, with the birth of a new consciousness and species, poised differently, centred on the higher axis of being, the possibility arises that we may collaborate consciously, guided by the harmonics of the very cosmos we inhabit and stand in awe of: an applied cosmology, not another speculative theory.

In the midst of the chaos we see about us a sublime cosmos emerges. Its life does not depend upon the old in the midst of which it stands. It emerges as the old crumbles, uncontaminated by the morose suggestions of purposelessness that vitiate the atmosphere of this dying world. It emerges because conditions for it are determined by higher evolutionary laws, and is hence a thing inevitable in the history of our planet’s time; even as the present mental being was an unavoidable and necessary circumstance, a step along the way but nothing more, and nobly played its role in the evolution of consciousness. The foundations of this new and higher species are solidly laid in the stratum that is indestructible. But not disengaged from material creation. Rather, these new foundations are rooted in matter and they form the basis for a new species and society.

Beyond Contemporary Scientific Paradigms – an essay on ‘End Time’

Introduction: Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet wrote the following article 24 days prior to CERN's announcement that they had observed a new particle 'consistent with long-sought Higgs boson'. In 1993 Leon Lederman (director of Fermilab from 1978-1989) dubbed the predicted Higgs boson particle 'the God Particle' in The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?. In the article, Lederman asserted that the discovery of the predicted particle would help explain the structure and creation of matter. The Higgs boson particle has been sought after to supposedly 'complete' the Standard Model of physics, which is based on special relativity and quantum physics.

In May/June 2012 Atlantis Rising magazine published an article about Nikola Tesla, who at the age of 81 challenged Einstein's theory of relativity (including special relativity and general relativity). So if Tesla's disregard for relativity and his 'obsession' with the number 3 (and 6 and 9) are ever properly understood in terms of a unified cosmology such as Ms. Norelli-Bachelet has developed from her explorations into Vedic Science, then the Standard Model of physics will be proven to be flawed and partial and must be cast aside in favor of a new and more inclusive model. As this more inclusive model establishes itself, the billion dollars of research done on smashing particles together at high speeds in attempts to prove or complete the Standard Model will be seen as a colossal waste and an unnecessary danger to all life on Earth. The following is from the Atlantis Rising article:

'After the Great War, Tesla was a changed man but not for the better. Specifically, he began to display clear signs of obsessive compulsive behaviour, focussing on the number three. In the early twentieth century, OCD was seen as a sign of insanity, so Tesla was now catalogued as an insane genius…It is clear, however, that neither old age nor OCD could temper the audacity of his mind. At the age of 81, he reported that he had completed a ‘dynamic theory of gravity’. Though he said the material was to be published, it never was.'  – Philip Coppens, ‘The Tesla Legacy’, Atlantis Rising, May/June 2012, p. 47. [bold emphasis added]

Despite the fact that this important Tesla material was never published, the Vedic basis of the new model of physics which he intuited and discovered is discussed in the written works of Ms. Norelli-Bachelet. Her recent article, published below, discusses the limitations and failures of modern scientific theory and the 3, 6 and 9 as the numerical seeds or basis of a new understanding of reality (a unity consciousness) in which a bridge is created between the seen and the unseen, matter and energy, matter and spirit, science and spirituality as well as between all perceived opposites.

Beyond Contemporary Scientific Paradigms

an essay on ‘End Time’

Recently the head of OPERA, a collaborative effort between the 10 billion-dollar CERN nuclear research facility near Geneva and Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of Italy, announced the preliminary results of the team’s findings. They were startling: the speed of light might no longer be the constant for energy equations, as in Einstein’s famous formula E=MC². It appears that there is a faster speed – unnamed as yet.

This revelation set off an instant furore throughout the world of science; if true, it would naturally cause scientists to rethink all their theories. In a word, it was a devastating piece of news. Ultimately, the head of the project had to resign, which seems to be the customary means of dealing with inconvenient data that threaten the status quo.

To the sage and the seer the news was not at all surprising. It has always been held in certain arcane traditions that the speed of consciousness is the true constant – faster, of course, than the speed of light. But the real question is how can it be measured? It is certainly not dependent on billion-dollar projects. Consciousness is the property of every human being; therefore each individual has the potential of proving the theory. The ‘laboratory’ for the purpose lies within one’s own consciousness. If contemporary research is focussing more and more on new alternative energy sources, which would free the human being from slavery to certain vested interests who do not look kindly on such inventions for fear of losing their control over the energy market, what would be the case when every person on the planet would potentially be equipped with the key factor for understanding the workings of the universe? We would no longer be subjected to dogmas and sacerdotal impositions that today have lost their meaning and purpose, precisely in view of the strides science has made in encouraging rationalism and a free spirit of enquiry. But still the question remains: What is the method of discovery and of subsequent measuring in a dimension so foreign to most?

The new cosmology of Aeon Centre of Cosmology provides some answers, primarily by constructing a bridge to ‘the other side’. This bridge is described by a simple formula: 9/6/3/0-1. However, the mathematics science uses to prove its theories do not hold where the Bridge is concerned. As science rightfully states, our mathematics break down ‘on the other side’.

But, what is ‘the other side’? Again the formula comes to our aid. The first two numbers, 9 and 6, are fully expressive of that ‘other side’, whereas the 3 is the link between this and that. The 3 provides the bridge at the end of which stands the Zero. But when the 1 emerges out of the 0, then we find ourselves fully on this side of the divide that separates materiality from a subtle essence, commonly known as the event horizon. The 0-1 is the description in the formula of our material universe. In the realm of the 1 the current laws of mathematics apply. However, while this is true and has served humanity well for the past three centuries, coinciding with the discovery of the three outer planets beyond Saturn, we have now come upon a stone wall. Science is blocked at the Zero threshold; it cannot penetrate or cross the bridge to the other side because it lacks the tools to do so – or should we say, the speed?

The speed of light as the reigning constant informs us that relying on it for solutions reminds us that we are thoroughly closed within the boundaries of the material universe; whereas, the speed of consciousness knows no such limitations. The formula uses the latter to investigate and to establish what lies beyond our dense physical world. Science as we know it today can only carry humanity (and the planet ultimately) to a final catastrophic destruction. As time moves on this is becoming increasingly evident. The partial vision, distinguished by the accepted constant, the speed of light, must cause a breakdown when a certain threshold is reached. Either we progress to an integral vision, or we must accept that the world as we know it, the world of the technology we have created, will perish. This is the meaning of 2012 – or, as some call it, END TIME.

Time does not exist only in our material universe. It is synonymous with consciousness. It is the ‘stuff’ of creation itself. Our material universe is the product of Time, and the formula describes the entire operation. No complicated, arcane mathematics are required to understand the process. It is simply an appreciation of Number and its unitary, unifying essence. Thus, 9/6/3 are the numbers that reveal the foundation of our material world. They describe what stands on the other side of the Bridge. In most schools of philosophy and metaphysics the three digits are numerically expressive of 9=Transcendent, 6=Universal, 3=Individual. But more importantly, what this simple string of numbers conveys is that the trinity lies at the root of creation. The formula indicates that in a descending sequence the numbers are a triadic configuration moving from 9 to 6 to 3. Only when we cross the Bridge and, via the Zero-womb, we witness and experience the emergence of the number 1, do we proceed by single consecutive digits but in the reverse direction.

This shift tells us something essential: on the other side, upholding or giving birth to our material universe stands the trinity. Moreover, the descending sequence distinguishes the quality of the operation ‘on the other side’. It indicates compaction. The descending triad of 9,6,3 is compacted in the Zero, from where the spatial universe begins as the horizontal field within which to extend the components of the Zero, or of compacted Time reversed to extended Time. Thus, we understand that this triad of number – i.e. Transcendent, Universal, Individual – is the very essence of our material creation. The origin can be discovered when we cross the Bridge – by and through consciousness – into the realm of essence. Our universe can rightly be called a display of form; but when its own essence is overlooked or ignored, disintegration and destruction must ensue because the limits of the separative consciousness are reached which can be described as a consciousness that sees only half of reality. A partial vision is what plagues our civilisation. Spiritual and religious leaders proclaim that a new consciousness is the answer; however, if we continue to make a separation between the spiritual and the material as is presently the case, the desired integration cannot come about. And only such an integration, out of which evolves a consciousness of unity, can solve humanity’s woes on all levels.

To better understand our creation and its mechanics, or how the formula can be made relevant and applied in our material dimension, we must seek for the answers employing more familiar terms. Thus, compaction would be another name for contraction, which in turn is another name for gravity. On the other hand, extension (from the 1) is another name for expansion. These are the principal features of our world. They are, properly speaking, cosmic directions; in symbols, for instance, they have been expressed from time immemorial as the cross or the swastika and their variations. Contraction and expansion are the binding forces of our material world. Their constant, simultaneous interaction is what keeps the universe of form together and does not allow particles to spin off randomly. Without the triadic principles as the foundation of contraction/gravity there would be no universe as we know it.

Insofar as gravity is a part of the energy base that continues to defy integration, for which reason the unified theory of everything has eluded science, it is clear that we must understand what the real nature of gravity might be. Since it is alternately described as contraction or compaction, the formula tells us that gravity is a property belonging to ‘the other side’; so naturally science cannot make the conclusive discovery that would explain everything. It attempts to do so via the mathematics of this expanding, extending universe of the 1 – whereas gravity/contraction is experienced through processes involving consciousness alone. When that exploration is done the results can be brought into our world and applied. Through such an application, however, there will be the emergence of a very different world than science has given us today.

We find that gravity is the carry-over, or itself the bridge between subtle and physical, it is the real constant because it links the two dimensions in a continuum that can be described as the cosmological constant. Einstein called this his ‘greatest blunder’. On the contrary, it was his greatest intuitive success, except that mathematics of his world of the 0-1 were unable to provide proof of operations at the origin – ‘on the other side’ beyond the event horizon. When ‘this side’ is separated from ‘that’, the result is a world of relativity, just as Einstein formulated. This stamp of relativity has plagued the human mind since then; it explains our civilisational crisis. Relativity was not incorrect; it was only the result of an incomplete vision and process.

It appears that the genial scientist, Nikola Tesla, stated, ‘If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.’ In view of what is written above, his statement was not an exaggeration: everything essential that we need to know about life is contained in the formula 9/6/3/0-1. But the key to the discoveries, clothed in this extreme simplicity, is a consciousness of unity. This is what is lacking in our world today, in our science and in every aspect of life we have created for ourselves. Clearly, based on the formula, it is a new world that is seeking to be born. ‘End time’ can really be the portal to a ‘new time’ and the experience of an entirely different life on Earth. For that to transpire, for heaven to descend and to convert our planet into the paradise it rightfully can be, science must accept its limitations and allow for a new way to take the lead, carrying civilisation across the Bridge where unity and oneness are discovered to be the foundation of all material creation.

Einstein’s general theory of relativity explains that light from stars is bent by gravity. The theory holds that space and time become curved near a mass, and that the larger the mass the more they are curved.

This caused me to reflect on the extraordinary properties of the Gnostic Circle and how perfectly it describes the law but applicable to human consciousness and therefore how right it is as a symbol – applicable in the sense that the symbol is the thing symbolised – of the processes of consciousness and a tool to unify macro- and microcosmic bodies. Because of this oneness the Gnostic Circle is the description of the movement of consciousness in large and small bodies – i.e. how it is all one, how that very same Divine Consciousness moves in the vast and in the small.

Finally the Gnostic Circle proves the truth in the general theory of relativity with the difference that the individual is not excluded from the law. With the Circle we can know the solar system’s organisation but never divorced from human awareness. We see the same process or organisation reflective of the movement of consciousness in the individual as well as beyond in the entire System. The Gnostic Circle reveals that indeed the individual is intended to become THAT which is mirrored in the Circle – or the structure and organisation of our very own solar system.

The Gnostic Circle

If light bends due to gravity near mass and the greater the mass the larger the curve, this is portrayed in the Gnostic Circle at its most critical area: its nadir. There, in order to avoid exiting the solar orbit (ecliptic plane), human consciousness must curve when that nadir is reached, just as the larger System portrays by its very structure. It is essential to complete the Journey (across the 12-month year) – that is, to avoid pressure to exit when it is exerted to its maximum; the pressure required to curve, precisely. This is accomplished by the solidified powers of contraction and expansion in unison – i.e. Mars and Jupiter. Our solar system as reflected in the Gnostic Circle simply enacts the effect of the two cosmic directions, but not just in the larger movement of the planets of our System. More importantly, the same Circle and System describe how those interacting directions play out in the human consciousness for the purpose of carrying the individual on the same journey as the cosmic bodies.

To be borne in mind is that the physical universe, and in this case our solar system, is the densification of what lies beyond, what supports, sustains and gives purpose to creation. Thus each physical component of our material universe densifies an upholding truth to which it owes its life and ability to carry forward that abiding Intention. In simple terms, light serves as the current constant for speed in the material universe. On this constant we base all our theories. But having stated the above, we must see what it is the light ‘represents’. The Vedic Rishis gave us the true position: Light is Consciousness. And so, we cannot allow that denser quality to govern our lives once we realise that it is merely a representation of what lies beyond, what gives it its own life and relevance. When humanity matures in its collective Journey to the point where it can digest these sublime Vedic truths, then light must be seen for what it is, what it represents, and we must honour that which supports its existence: we must turn to the speed of consciousness as the determining law of our existence in a material universe.

Mars 4th Planet; Jupiter 5th

and the 4.5 Orbit (Asteroid Belt)

At the nadir and enclosing the cosmic ‘birth canal’ (the 4.5 Orbit) there is Mars to one side and Jupiter to the other. Mars is the extreme essence of contraction, while Jupiter is expansion. In planetary terms of function, these are the representatives of the two cosmic directions. Jupiter’s mass is what does indeed curve the movement of consciousness in the trajectory of the Year as if it were taking over the role of the Sun. Therefore I have written that Jupiter ‘aspires to be the Sun’. Because of its actual physical mass the formidable thrust and impulsion of Mars is contained by the Jupitarean mass and it is curved so that the individual on the path can be assisted and ultimately compelled to experience the curve at the 4.5 nadir and not to exit there but to continue the journey. Jupiter pulls the consciousness to itself by its mass and thereby prevents exit. So massive is the power required to counter the thrust of Mars with its extreme impulsion that often a shattering (of encumbrances) is the result – be this either in one’s consciousness or in the solar system. We see this clearly reflected in the Asteroid Belt.

What prevents shattering? Disintegration? Chaos? It is the strength and stability of the axis of consciousness-being. I had written that this is forged also by the cosmic directions, contraction and expansion, similar to the birth process. It is clear that the formation in the Asteroid Belt had no axial balance and therefore could not survive the rigours of thrust and pull exerted by the 4th and 5th planets. Hence, poise around a central axis is the key. Suppleness of consciousness, plasticity born of surrender to the Sun of our inner Truth is the way.

Science has failed because it describes properties of the macrocosm (general theory of relativity) and, separately, the microcosm (Quantum). It is unable to link the two because the way to do so is through the laboratory of human consciousness. That is the link, the harmonising quotient that stays entirely ignored by science; therefore, science has created a world in its own image which is devoid of oneness and unity. To serve as this essential link is the purpose of human existence. We serve the Great Architect by willingly and in full awareness offering our laboratories for the alchemical process that can unify the vast and the small. The Gnostic Circle indicates the path to accomplish this noble task.

Our children must be taught these fundamental truths at the earliest age. We presently set them on the journey of life ill prepared. We provide them with tools to cement the separative perception of creation rather than the simple and elegant truths of the harmonies of the cosmos as they truly are so that the unity and oneness of Reality – from which their own consciousness-beings must not be separated – can be the firm foundation in face of all the vicissitudes that lie ahead, all the crossings of the Asteroid Belt on to the completion of the Journey.

Given the true harmony of the solar system, uncomplicated by mental formulations, we must reveal to the world, and especially to its youth, that escape through the enticements a corrupted world offers all constitute escape strategies. These strategies of vested interests of every hue that plague our world are the bane of human existence. They have carried us to a decisive turning point. We must reveal to the world the disharmony fostered in our beings by all religious and spiritual disciplines that promote otherworldliness as the panacea, that encourage escape to ‘heavens’ beyond, thereby withholding from the Earth the store of creation’s most precious energies. The war to fight is expressed by Mars and Jupiter – or the distorted vision that has been conveyed to our children and to society as a whole of these powers of contraction and expansion. One, Mars, has been distorted to epitomise violence in all its forms, be this physical or moral; and the other, Jupiter, in its degenerate character stands as the opposite of the Divine Grace the planet truly stands for. Presently we know ritual and dogma and we parade these as the saving grace in times of dire need such as ours.

Contraction and expansion thus hold the key: Do we cling to these concepts in their degenerate form, or do we complete the Journey by their aid – Mars providing the impulsion needed to pass through the Asteroid Belt with a fury of speed that only Mars can provide; and Jupiter as the saviour by its very mass which can tame the fury of Mars and draw the human creation up and out of the Asteroid Belt, its very mass providing the thrust to complete the Journey. For after all, that is the essential purpose: to complete the full Circle and not to succumb to lesser enticements that hold us prisoners by the illusions they foster. Truth lies here, on Earth and within our solar system which, as a harmonious whole, explains better than any scientific discipline our sublime purpose as a species and as individuals.

The world needs the new cosmology to see what is actually self-evident – once the veils are lifted.
