Cosmic Metaphysics Course (Part 1)

Either approach or a combination of both will work. The Interpreter recognizes the benefits and drawbacks of each approach and how a combination can sometimes be better even though more time consuming. Attunement at the word processor allows greater time for more detailed and specific information, but trance level channeling often gives greater insight into new and deeper concepts even if the wording is less than precise and specific.

By combining both, by channeling through trance level, then re-channeling through the keyboard editing process, the additional details and specifics can be included to enhance the original message. This Awareness will work through both processes to assure accuracy and insight. This will also allow the interpreter to research and include references contained in the messages. Therefore, this
course in Cosmic Metaphysics will be given mostly through conscious attunement, or channeling at the computer, with trance level attunement or verbal channeling into a tape recorder, and used at the discretion of the interpreter as needed, or a combination of both.

This Awareness offers the term, Cosmic Metaphysics, as meaning a thing in the full range of studies from mystical philosophies through occultism, positive thinking, legends, myths, allegorical writings, comparative ancient or contemporary religions, and the world of strange and unusual phenomenon such as Big Foot, ghosts and UFOs. For anything out of the ordinary that entities wish to believe in, or explore, they might refer to as metaphysics. But its classical meaning is "physics above the physical".

Today, most people believe that if they hold positive attitudes, or believe in guides or guardian angels, space brothers, ufos, inter-dimensional beings or channeling, that they are into the field of metaphysics. But unless they grasp the full meaning of their real nature in a living universe, they have barely begun to understand the higher physics.

For others, the word metaphysical is associated with something vague and mystical, or perhaps is confused with occult things, which in turn may conjure up images of something evil. There was a time when metaphysical concepts were secret or hidden from the masses.

The term "occult" simply means to hide or cover up; it refers to something secret or hidden. The word, occult, has also been used as an astrological term relating to one heavenly body hiding, or eclipsing another, such as to say that the Moon occults Mars. It is seldom used in modern astrology. Recently, people think of the term occult as being associated with evil beings, spirits, witchcraft and even devil worshipping. Secret or occult, information may not have any such negative qualities at all. For example, Jesus explained to his disciples that he was giving them secret information the masses would not be given. (Matthew 13:10-11).

Just because something is hidden or secret (occult) does not in itself mean that it is negative in origin. Since many people today think of occult as relating exclusively to evil, one can avoid hassles from intolerant neighbors by avoiding the occult label and sticking to more acceptable labels, such as metaphysics or esoteric Christianity in describing one's interests in such secret or hidden teachings.

Occultism

The term "occultism" is a Latin word commonly used to signify the study of astral and spiritual planes hidden from view of the masses and those uninitiated to such realms. This is where taboos against occultism began developing since such studies often led to dealings with astral beings and spirits of the dead, which in turn led to a wide variety of unhealthy and negative experiences.

The Meaning of the Term "Esoteric"

The term esoteric means "inner" and frequently refers to the "inner circle of initiates" of an order, teaching, or discipline. Thus "esoteric Christianity" refers to the inner teachings of Christ, or that which was taught to the disciples and others in secret.

Esoteric means "outer" and refers to the teachings, members or masses that are not part of the inner circle, but which lie outside. Thus esoteric Christianity refers to that which is the commercialized version of Christianity designed as an "outer teaching" for public consumption.

This outer teaching is that which has been given by the churches to the masses for their more superficial or shallow understanding of the teachings. In the recent past, the belief prevailed that everything evolved out of physical matter. The scientific approach moving away from religion began to presume that physical matter, not spirit, was the base foundation from which life sprang and that life came into being from an interaction of chemicals and their general reaction with the environment and that from these chemicals evolved life forms.

This has been the basis of material science or physics for at least the past century. Material physics has undergone many changes since it began with Galileo, to where it now stands on the threshold of a new era of physics that will surpass quantum physics and will likely move toward traditional metaphysics as it discovers that matter is created from the information, or the Cosmic Mind of the universe.

The great problem for science will be in finding ways to disguise its metaphysical findings in new scientific terms, so as to appear to be original discoveries.  This new evoking science will not likely speak of Cosmic Mind, but of information systems of the universe as creating things. But the message will closely parallel that of the traditional metaphysical teachings and behind the words the truths will be much the same. For as concepts become better understood, the nature of physics begins to change and take on new meanings and different paths of study move toward a common truth that must eventually come together upon reaching that truth.

This evolution in scientific thinking has moved from the early science of Galileo, Keppler and Newton, on through the works of Einstein into what is now termed quantum physics. This Awareness suggests that quantum physics is unique in that it takes into consideration that the mind of the scientist or the observer of physical matter may have an effect on what is being observed. Therefore, the idea of traditional science as being objective is questionable, and the laws of pure material physics may not be as useful to science, for the mind of the observer may be affecting the scientific experiments.

In recent times, within the past decade or so, many scientists have moved to a new way of thinking, realizing that there is within the nature of the material universe something more subtle at work than mechanical and chemical action and reaction, something which creates systems that process information. And that these systems may evolve and form still greater systems which in turn may create more recognizable life forms. And these life forms may be interconnected with still greater information processing systems.

 This has become a problem for those clinging to old forms of science and physics, and is opening the door to those areas which closely parallel concepts associated with metaphysics including the activities of the supernatural and spiritual and those things associated with religion, such as divine beings or forces and energies that are essentially intelligent and which lie beyond the realm of physical beings.

In the past, science has ignored such things as were not explainable in their model of a materialistic universe, such things as spirits, ghosts, psychic
and supernatural events and happenings with those things that lie beyond the senses or their sense enhancement instruments, such as telescopes and microscopes, because such things could not possibly fit in their materialistic model of the universe.

Rather than change their view of the universe to accommodate all the data, they would rather ignore the data and preserve their model. But too many questions needed answers, and many new scientists came along with curiosity and the desire to explore the unknown. Rather than rest on the answers of their predecessors, they pioneered the borderlands of science and founded quantum physics that opened up new, previously taboo territories for further exploration. With deeper probing into Quantum physics, scientists may have finally cracked the lid on Pandora's box to let loose the psychic, metaphysical research, and other unexplainable phenomenon to be fair game for scientific research.

For these mysteries can better fit in newly emerging science which is beginning to view the universe having a primary function or behavior geared to processing information. With the new physics developing through and beyond quantum physics, these are now being given fresh consideration. With the quantum theories it becomes possible for science to acknowledge that there may be something more happening in the universe than material physics and that there may be an information based universe rather than a material based universe.

It is seen that the information processing that suggests a universal intelligence may actually be the Prime Creator of material images and their behavior in the universe just as graphic designs, images and pictures can be created on a computer screen from the pure information acting from electronic "on/off" signals carrying the properly encoded information needed for that creation. As this quantum theory develops further and is better understood, it will lead to a totally new science which then begins to explore the nature of the mind of the universe. This then moves into the study of Cosmic Biophysics or the science of a living universe.

Cosmic Biophysics, the Science of the Future

For these discourses now, we will jump into that science of the living universe focusing attention on that future science which may or may not be termed Universal or Cosmic Biophysics or what this Awareness now calls Cosmic Metaphysics, for they are the same thing under different names. Whatever it is named, it will deal with the information systems actively and willfully used by nature and the universe.

Words

Words are sound or written patterns which are used to represent an action, state, or something, abstract or concrete, or which links, modifies or describes such. Words are real, but they are not the things they describe or stand for. A rose as a rose, is not just a word, but the flower that blooms. Yet by the law of substitution, the word can have an indirect effect on the thing the word symbolizes in some cases, it can have a more direct effect, as happens when one's name is called.

The importance of the role words play in metaphysical teachings cannot be overstated.

It is in the power of words to substitute for the real thing that words have meaning. Some people think words make reality, and in some circumstances they can influence the creation of a different reality, but not in all circumstances. When something is final and irrevocable, all the words in the world cannot change the fact that it is final and the deed was said and done. One might still manage to use words to change the perception about a finality, but the fact would remain that it was finalized and done. When a deed is done, it is indeed done in the way it is done, regardless of future denials.

But when a process is not finalized but is still in movement, still becoming, when something is an ongoing thing, then words may still have the power to influence the outcome, and all the words in the world cannot not deny the possibility of change until the process is completed. Words can change processes, but cannot change outcomes…though they might alter the perception of an outcome.

The Limits and Power of Words as Creative Tools

It must be understood at this time that words are not the things which they attempt to describe and that entities in attempting to understand reality must look beyond words to sense or feel what the words are attempting to display. Words are like containers that carry something; you must look into the bucket, or word, to see what is really being delivered, for different containers and different words can carry the same thing. On the other hand, different things can be carried by the same word or container so it is truly important to inspect the contents of a word, or container, used in conveying the thing you wish to express.

How many, for example, know what they or others mean when speaking of God?  Do they all mean the same thing when speaking of God? One believes in God, the other doesn't, but are they speaking of the same thing? Or are they merely using a word without mutually sharing and understanding a common definition? Usually the difference in definitions lies behind differences in beliefs.

 Any entity who is studying any meaningful discipline, who becomes fixated on the superficiality of words and terms instead of their actual meanings is missing out on the actual message. It is important to look beyond the words and terms to the energies and meanings being labeled by the words. What, for example, is a "Christ"? What is a "Son of God"? What is meant by the "Sons of God" as mentioned in Genesis 6:2,4? What is the difference between the "Son of Man" and the "Son of God"?

Many think they understand the Bible because they can quote passages
and words, but too often they miss the true meaning because they worship the superficial names and words instead of their deeper, sometimes hidden or symbolic meanings. An entity is not his or her name, but simply wears the name as one wears clothing without being the clothes.

Yet, labels and names too often prevent one from seeing the entity behind the label or name. A truly wonderful person given a horrible name or label will surely suffer from that name regardless of his or her inherent goodness. If entities do not understand this and speak superficially of individuals as names or numbers or as that which they have labeled, they are missing out on the reality of the essence of the beings which lie behind those names, numbers or labels.

It is the same with concepts, slogans, labels, and accusations. One can hurl an accusation and entities not knowing the facts, will tend to believe it without much further evidence. Words seem to convey reality, though they are almost always false to some degree. Entities often struggle to memorize words and slogans to quote, but it is better that one seeks to understand the reality of what is being said, and then struggle to find the best words to describe what one has discovered.

Understanding comes not from quoting verse and remembering the words, but from grasping the non-verbal meanings behind the statements. One then can find his or her own words to best express that new understanding. Do not become superficial by thoughtlessly parroting the ideas, words, concepts and teachings of others just because they appear to know what they are speaking of, but instead, probe behind the idea, word, concept or teaching for any meaningful truths or possible mistakes. This helps one to think for oneself instead of merely being a parrot or echo of another's mind.

Equally disturbing to reasonable behavior is the one who superficially and thoughtlessly disagrees with others' ideas, and thinks that by so doing he
or she is thinking independently.

A pugnacious reaction does not indicate individuality of thought, but merely a mechanically reactive pattern of opposing another's idea, whatever it may be.

On the Use and Abuse of Words

Words can be used for many purposes. An understanding of metaphysics cannot ignore the purposes for words since metaphysical teaching relies heavily on the importance of words to influence reality. This in itself could be the topic of another course in helping entities to have influence through the use of words. But for a brief overview needed for this discussion, here are a few purposes for use of words:

-- to convey truths as they are perceived by an observer.
(As when one defines or  describes a person, place, thing, event or concept as accurately as possible.)

-- to alter, color or modify the truth so others perceive it differently from its actuality. (Such as exaggerate or emphasize certain insignificant qualities or traits while downplaying the important ones in describing a person, place, thing, event or concept.)
--  to negate a truth or create a claim that is not true. (Such as when one deliberately lies to another.)
-- to alter the course of events in process by redefining or redirecting the progress occurring. Such as to say the right thing to encourage one who was discouraged so the entity changes attitude, behavior, or methods to move toward a successful outcome.)
-- to influence an action that would not have otherwise occurred. (Such as organizing a movement that changes the course of the event.)
-- to heal or destroy another by labeling, placing, defining, or otherwise influencing the way the entity or others perceive the entity. (Such as publicly praising or slandering another.)
-- to lead, direct, manipulate, influence, and persuade the behavior, motives, values or movement of one or more persons. (Such as directing an entity on the path to reach a destination or goal, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, social, mental, financial or vocational.)
-- to confuse oneself or others. (Such as when one disrupts agreements with distorted meanings, interpretations, directions, names, instructions, or values.)
-- to free or to restrain self or others. (permitting, inhibiting, as in the making of laws, rules, or policies.)
-- to attack or defend against attack.
-- to question, inquire and to gather information.
-- to entertain oneself or others.
-- to credit or discredit oneself or others (as to praise or to condemn someone.)
-- to acknowledge, (to respond, recognize, reply, or perhaps comply)
-- to choose by selection as in accepting or rejecting something.
-- to request (such as to beg, plead or seek something).
-- to issue warnings, express concern or apprehension.
-- to express demands, commands or directives.
-- to express gratitude, appreciation, affection, or encouragement.
-- to oppose, quarrel, argue, or reason for one or both sides.
-- to suggest, create, or change the perception of things.

(These are the more common purposes for words, but there are many more which are often combined from one or more of the above.)

The Limits of Word Power to Redefine a Reality

A few entities think that words make reality and that the words they speak must make their view of reality a fact, but words may or may not influence or reflect reality, depending on the relationship between the words and what actually is. The lesson here is that one must be careful about attributing too much power to words, or one can become a total liar who is out of touch with reality.

Metaphysics practitioners are often prone to this outcome if they rely too heavily on the power of words. For truth more often than not is obscured by words, especially when entities look to the words for the truth. Like signposts they can at best only point the way to truth, they are not that truth.

To clarify a common error in metaphysical thinking about the power of words to change reality, this Awareness wishes to repeat the importance of realizing
that an event that is already concluded cannot be truly altered simply by using words to deny the already-concluded outcome, even if words could change the way, the event, person or thing perceived.  (Such as when the public is told and believes a lie told about an event.) But where an event is still in process, still changeable, words can conceivably alter the direction of movement and change the course of events.

This is important because what may appear as a lie to one observer may become a truth if events follow the direction of the words which are spoken to change that direction. For example, if someone is dying and another lies and speaks convincingly: "God will heal you" or some similar suggestion, and if this willful statement influences the person to believe strong enough in their recovery, it could work as a powerful suggestion that helps promote their recovery. The recovery, or non-recovery, will determine whether the statement issued was truthful or was a lie. If the entity recovers because of the suggestion encouraging the patient to live, then the statement will have been spoken in truth.

 The words in such a case may act as a self fulfilling prophecy, creating a truth only because they were spoken in the first place. Such power of words can only have this type of effect when they can influence an ongoing activity.

The Significance of Understanding the Use of Words

Thus as a general rule, words can sometimes alter what is observed if the reality seen is still in process and is still changeable. An event that has already occurred and is no longer changeable cannot be altered by words, though the perception of that event may be altered. When a deed is done, it is done indeed. But you have a saying, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings" which was used to suggest that until it is truly done, there is still time for a turn-around in the course of events.

This Awareness suggests you let this become your first rule in cosmic metaphysics, to not become obsessed with words or names or labels or sentences or messages, but to acknowledge and understand whatever essences or meanings lie behind the words and messages whether spoken or written. For words are not the things themselves.

 Words live only when filled with meaning, and when the meaning fades away, words like dead or dying leaves fall that from grace, to rot and fade themselves away. This Awareness suggests you not let words, names, titles, or labels be your master, but let them be as servants to carry information to others, or others information to you. When you speak an entity's name, feel the entity, sense the entity.  Do not simply grab the name and presume you know the entity because you have met and recognize the name.

This Awareness indicates it is the same with concepts and ideas. There are many entities who grab a word or name, and in using the dictionary defined the meaning of the word, believe they understand the terms being used.

Understanding Love

One may speak of love, and analyze it, intellectualize it, discuss its many expressions, but does the entity truly experience love, or just intellectualize and talk about it? Is it felt in the heart as compassion or affection, or is it just a concept that is linked in the mind with other concepts such as compassion and affection which the entity likewise does not experience except as an intellectual concept? Many know much in the level of thought, but are afraid of reality, are afraid of the experiences about which they talk and think.

They know but the superficialities, such as the face or idea of love, but not of its substance or experience. They may even understand the meaning of true love, and may want to receive the real substance of love, which is heart-felt compassion from mother, but may be willing only to pay for it with lip service and verbal gratitude, while withholding the substance of their own love by giving only words, but no display of active heartfelt compassion.

Entities too often present and accept the substitute for the real thing and unable to give or receive, will settle on the words, "I love you" while taking or giving out hateful abuse in other areas that deny the reality of that love. Too often the tug of war is not between the players, but is caused by the conflict that exists between the substitute and the genuine substance, the counterfeit words, and the precious reality that entities seek or withhold from the other.

This Awareness suggests that entities in dealing with reality must learn to look
beyond the face, the label, the name and superficialities and touch the essence which lies behind that face, behind that name, behind the superficialities. And give to and expect from those precious relationships genuine affection…and nothing less.

How to Channel or Experience Something Other Than Self

In the preparation for Basic Development Classes, this Awareness has offered the means by which entities may experience beyond the surface, beyond the superficial, into the essence or heart of the thing. This was given briefly and in a limited context in the Transpersonative Experience, in which entities attuned to each other to psychically read or experience each other.

It has also been expressed by certain writers under other names as in the book, "Stranger in a Strange Land" in which it is called "groking". To grok something is to experience it psychically. This principle has also been expressed in the television and movie series called "Star Trek" in which the entity Spock does his "Vulcan mind meld" and attunes to something in order to understand it.

This Awareness suggests you need only to match your frequency to the frequency of the thing with which you wish to join in consciousness.

To experience a tree, a river, a rock, a mountain, a concept, an event or another person, simply "feel" yourself being that object, and your frequency will begin its movement to match the frequency of the being or object. Hold and concentrate and you will suddenly "know" the essence, feeling, experience of the being or object as the attunement locks in at the proper frequency. This Awareness indicates that essentially it is not unlike tuning a radio to match the correct frequency to receive a broadcast.

Thus, one sees a universe that has all characteristics - chemical, material, and mental, in its makeup, but every particle follows programmed information originating from a central source. This accounts for the truths found in material physics, but also allows for the information that passes itself off as intellect as found in living beings, ghosts, cosmic forces, divine interference with mankind, psychic phenomenon, instinct among all insects, birds, mammals, and reptiles, and other activities of nature.

If each system, genus, species, concept, idea, group, civilization, unit, cell, planet, galaxy, etc. contains its own energy-information-processing arrangement, as a kind of oversoul, then the tribe, colony, civilization, collection, and species will behave as directed by its own oversoul that serves as the unit's information processor, which is designed to work with the information available in that unit or which may be added from outside the unit from time to time.

The Universe as a Gigantic BioComputer

The Universe operates much as does a living being, aware of itself and of all its parts. It is essentially a living computer, a Cosmic Mind.  Many scientists are beginning to find this analogy as one that allows answers to questions that were previously unanswerable when contemplating a dead, materialistic universe. The computer puts together pixels, or dots, on the screen which turn on or off in varying degrees to form an image or character. The universe puts together subatomic parts on its screen which turn spirit into matter in varying degrees to form a substance. Both the computerized image and physical matter play out on their respective screens, and where  created by unseen powers of electricity or spirit as the case may be for each.

One could compare these subsystems in the Universe to subdirectories in a computer or different rooms in a building.  The Ancient Egyptians used the onion as a symbol of the universe because it contained many spheres within spheres. The computer's root directory contains many subdirectories of information which may contain unique information of a general nature leading to other, more specific, subdirectories and files.

The file of the computer compares the life form or information system created by the cosmic biocomputer. Each is made from processed information, created by or springing from previous processing systems of their own for their own particular functions. In the universe, each such system usually processes itself into a system that perpetuates and continues its own existence, even if that existence must change or adopt to new data and input in order to survive.

For the computer, the energy comes from the electrical current, which in turn is used to process information that in turn allows information within the subdirectories and their programmed systems to be processed.  For the Universe, the energy comes from its inherent energy, often called spirit, which activates the universal information processor that, in turn, controls and activates the subsystems.

This essential energy springs from the Universal or Cosmic Mind into the multi-faceted subsystems which perpetuate their own essences as nearly as possible, without interruption or change, unless or until a new force is brought in to alter the original system. Then that new force will either clash in conflict or will somehow be harmoniously incorporated into the original energies and be processed into something that allows both to coexist or blend together into something new, into a single synthesis from many parts.

The origin of Evil

As energies, substances, and information all being the same can be combined, likewise, energies, substances, and information can be extracted and separated from a unit leaving parts isolated as parts taken from the synthesis by the process of analysis. This separation and isolation results in an ignorance of the whole; such ignoring gives rise to error, which in turn has been called evil.

This is the origin of the concept of evil, it is ignorance and is often personified as a being such as satan, the devil, lucifer, or kal. This does not deny that each thing is in contrast to some degree with all other things, but that contrast does not create separateness, unless the relationship that binds all together in a whole, holy, holistic, or wholistic way is ignored. Separateness has to do with a perception that ignores the whole, while focusing only on the self and its interests. It is unwholesome or unholy to ignore the whole of things. The degree of that unholiness is a matter of how far one is separated from the whole of the Universal Mind.

Subsystems

The universe itself being an information processor, holds ultimate control over universal affairs, but within that greater framework, there are subsystems which have their local rulerships that control them. A subsystem maybe ruled by an idea in the mind of a head ruler who directs the generalities so that specifics are attended so the subsystem mirrors the idea that is held by the ruler.

In such a case the idea is the heart of the subsystem's information processing method. Universal Consciousness is not limited as to how many subsystems it can create, and subsystems can be created within sub-systems so that they continue perpetuating themselves in ever-repeated fractured expression so that there are fragments that splinter off and perpetuate themselves as individual sub, sub, sub, sub, subsystems ad infinitum to the smallest subparticle ever. Even the smallest subparticle has, within limits, a mind of its own, which along with its own oversoul, or superior information processor, helps in the subordinate information processing.

This Awareness suggests, incidentally, that when all is said and done, it will be discovered that "God" is the most minute and tiniest thing in the Universe, and is everywhere present; a Universal Information Processor.

The individual insect, the colony of insects and each species of insect is essentially a subsystem operating under some other higher overseeing intelligence or information processing system. How else can you explain the total co-ordination of an insect civilization that operates without directors giving orders? How else is it possible that termites could form a network of cooling vents in a great tall cactus that allows a termite at the top to open a vent for cooling, while simultaneously at the bottom, another termite co-operates by closing off another vent to help direct the air toward a chamber in the center?  Who or what but an "Overseeing Intelligence" directs these things? Such a Collective Superconsciousness guides each subsystem and in turn, is itself directed by an Overseeing Intelligence.

How else can you explain the flight of birds which shift in perfect and instantaneous unison without any pre-rehearsal, order, command, or signal to alert the group? This Awareness indicates these subsystems that hold the insect kingdom themselves are subsystems of still greater information processing systems within the mind of the universe.

Interfering With a Subsystem

This Awareness indicates that in reference to plants, animals, insects, reptiles, fowl, fish or human beings, wherein subsystems become intermeshed with each other, or when an outside fragment of information energy is introduced, a new genus, species, subspecies, variety or variation of a creature or thing may be born. Amending something original with new information is not limited to creatures alone and may occur with other material or non-material substances such as emotions, concepts, designs, values, principles, images, objects, agreements, landscapes, geographical or even planetary and cosmic designs. For example, two intermeshed ideas, or an idea coupled with a fragment of other information may create something quite unique to its genus, species, subspecies or class. It is also possible to create principles that merge together resulting in a third and separate offspring of the originals.

Subsystems Have Limits

This Awareness suggests that within certain bounds the subsystems can create their own particular behavioral patterns, essences and information processing methods in a manner that develops a movement of its own, an inertia that becomes such that the subsystem can be made to be diametrically opposed to another that has developed. This may create sub-systems that oppose each other so there appears to be a war between them. To the Cosmic Mind, this is nothing more than what you would experience as opposing thoughts in your mind, a dilemma of inner conflict or inner turmoil that just needs time to process itself toward harmony. But to those entities involved in the conflict, it can be experienced as a life or death struggle. This kind of conflict between subsystems may occur on many levels, between heavenly bodies, geological, chemical, cultural, social, personal, political, ideological, or any other subsystem set as polarized conflict.
 
Subsystems Can Evolve

This Awareness indicates that as the information processing continues, if it continues long enough and receives proper stimulus, it becomes possible for new intelligence to develop in a subsystem such as in a species or subspecies of life form to such a degree that its members begin to understand the way things work in the world of information processing. Thus, it has been for the human race and as entities become aware that they exist and can change their existences by the influence of the information being processed for or by them, they learn to direct their destiny based on Cosmic Law.

There have been those cultures which have been diametrically opposed to each other in which wars of religion, wars of political nature, wars of opposing values between individuals or cultures, nations or groups has given a history on the earth of great violence and conflict. But the development of information continues to process and human thought evolves to where it now approaches a new understanding, allowing people to begin to look not only at how information is processed and how instinct is programmed, but also how to alter a programming for individuals and for entire societies.

A truly New Being and New Society will emerge from the New Physics, the New Cosmic Biophysics that is emerging even now. In this New Physics, harmonious information processing will be developed which will allow entities to agree on things, agree on working together for a common cause, agree to protect each other, agree to serve each other, and in serving others, being served in return. As this occurs with humans, it also occurs with other elements of the Universal Mind, the forces of nature often clash and create great chaos, but they sometimes work together to pool their resources and energies for special and unique creations.

 In certain areas in Costa Rica where the earth is of poor quality, the trees themselves have created a lush and fertile hanging garden that at about forty feet in the air is known as the "cloud forest". Here, hanging from tree to tree for miles around, vegetation grows thick in deep layers that support a fertile garden of unique and unusual flora, plant, fowl, reptilian, and animal life that may never touch the outside earth itself. Here exists the world's only butterfly with transparent wings, so upon observing you may see only a crawling insect…until it flies away.

Here and only here lives the golden frog, for it has taken countless centuries to develop so that it lives not in ponds or streams upon the ground,
but in the wide leaf plants high in the trees that collect the proper amount of water to allow it a place to lay eggs; and only in that proper temperature and the proper dampness can this creature exist. If things were to alter even slightly, such as an unusual change in seasonal temperature or rainfall amount, many species would disappear forever.

Likewise it is with the human race, there is a delicate balance in the chemistry of nature that must be maintained for human life to survive on this planet. All of this is created and managed by particular subsystem information, an earth-being intelligence factor that guards life on earth, maintaining its information processing system. This Cosmic Information Processing System that maintains the delicate balance of life on earth continually works to accommodate new input of data, events, or changes; or it will act to erase a cosmic file/life, species, idea or civilization; or will function to invent a new creation, a new life/file, a new directory or subsystem to alter things.

One may ask how is it possible that all this can occur without an individual to direct these many processes that are occurring from cosmic levels down to the most minute subatomic activity? It is the nature of Cosmic Mind to constantly adjust itself to whatever is occurring and to create some kind of balance out of chaos. This goes beyond survival of the species to survival of harmony within systems.

The Eternal Here and Now or the Illusion of Time and Space

This Awareness reminds you that in the previous introductory discussion of Cosmic Metaphysics, quantum physics was explored briefly with its relationship to the idea that the universe is an information processor, and that matter, as presumed to be, is but an illusion. In reality, matter is as the poet said, "such stuff as dreams are made" or in other words, matter itself is mind stuff, or images in the Cosmic Mind. All is Cosmic Mind, and that those things which appear separate are but fragmented portions of that Cosmic Mind of which all matter and all beings within the universe are made.

The appearance of separateness is also illusion due to the ignorance or ignoring aspect of that fragmented part. The fragmentations which make up these apparently separate entities and partitions of Cosmic Mind are as subsystems in the information processing and contain within themselves certain amounts of information sufficient to maintain aspects of their own subsystem for a time.

Thus the fragmentation, as creature or individual, culture or species, concept or idea, whatever its nature, persists for a time as an entity or subsystem within the Cosmic Mind until a new concept, energy or force enters to alter its nature and cause it to grow or otherwise evolve into something else. To cite an example, you the reader are a subsystem of the Cosmic Mind, and as such, are information processing under other information processing systems that are happening within the Cosmic Mind.

The Illusion of Time and Space

This Awareness indicates in this  discussion, this Awareness wishes to discuss the concept of time and space as perceived by entities on your plane as being illusions fostered by the illusion of matter. There is a misperception of reality that holds true on one dimension, but when viewed from another dimension, is seen as totally false or as an illusion.

 In such a dimension, things are experienced subjectively as reality, but when one steps away to view the same situation in an objective approach, it is seen not as a reality but as an illusion, dream or hallucination. A particular phenomenon which would fit this criteria is such that almost everyone agrees is both real in the one sense, and unreal in the other sense, for entities are able to move easily from one reality or dimension in consciousness to the other with little trouble.

This Awareness suggests you consider that which is a bardo, or gap in consciousness, and understand the bardo of which this Awareness speaks is commonly known as the dream-state. There are not only different kinds of bardos or gaps in consciousness, but are also degrees and mixtures of those gaps or bardos. For example, one may speak of the day-dream which refers to a blending of two bardos: the dream state and the so-called normal consciousness state. These gaps or bardos are states of consciousness that vary from experience to experience from one degree to another in a continual motion as certain as the movement of waves and tides of the sea.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead refers to what you consider as your physically living state as actually being a spiritually dead state of entombment within the body as though bodily entombment is a form of existence for the living "dead".

It lists six bardos, while ignoring the ultimate state of Cosmic or Universal Consciousness, since there is no gap or incompleteness in Cosmic Consciousness. Even the Clear, Pure Light at the Moment of "Death" is incomplete in that to be clear, it ignores or shuts out the lessor bardo states, while Cosmic Consciousness includes the totality of all bardos in its essence.

Even the galaxies, the heavenly bodies and gases that fill the universe formed their degree of materiality because of some amount of gap in the cosmic information that makes them what they are. Were their information to be completed without a gap, they would merge back into spirit and be without form.  Nothing physical exists without this error or gap.

Yet, think not that you can become one with the spirit simply by destroying your physical body, for it would simply leave the spirit with its gap seeking to find a home, body, housing, or material domain to use to continue its formalized existence. Until Consciousness becomes at-one or attuned with the Universal
Deity, form is needed to hold the incompleted consciousness.

Being Born in Sin

In Greek, the word sin means to miss the mark. The Bible speaks of all beings as having been "born in sin" and of having "come short of the glory of God". All entities who are born into the physical must by natural law, be polarized or "out of balance" with the Ultimate Harmony of the "non-polarized" universe in order to achieve physical embodiment. This then is the meaning of sin, or of "missing the mark" of total Universal Consciousness. Becoming less polarized in the manner to be described in future discourses will allow one to be one with God, or a God-Realized Being.

There is no great need to be ashamed or to feel guilty for having been born in the flesh and out of the spirit,

As many preachers might suggest, being in the flesh carries sufficient disturbance without added guilt or shame, though if one enjoys such guilt one may indulge in the guilt of having been born, but it only adds to the imbalance of the soul. Often some benefit may come even from this, wherein the soul becomes unbearably imbalanced with guilt and the entity seeks to throw it off to become guiltless and feels better sooner than he or she might have had the guilt not built up so quickly as to become unbearable. In other words, one may jump in and wallow in negativity in order to get finished with it, so one can more quickly start glowing in a more positive light, but wallowing endlessly in guilt and shame does no good for anyone.

Recognition that one has come short of the "glory of God-hood" is helpful to inform the entity that there is some higher state of consciousness toward which the entity may aspire. Being ashamed of coming short of the "glory of God" without effort to overcome the shame…is pure waste.

Gaps in Consciousness

Regardless of claims to the contrary, all physical beings experience, to a greater or lesser degree, gaps in "Cosmic Consciousness" or "God-hood" origins. Otherwise, they may not be able to remain physically alive, bursting instead into spirit and disappearing from your reality of time and space into the pure essence of Cosmic Consciousness.

The Measure of What You Are

No living master is totally attuned or God-Realized, though he or she may occasionally touch to a greater or lesser degree, some level of "God-Realization" or "Universal Consciousness". Entities are not measured by their good deeds nor their evil deeds, but by the totality of their full range of deeds and intentions. Every entity has an individualized range of both a higher level and a lower level of development,and the degree of difference between the two is the sum total of the entity's True Self.

In other words, your measure is what you are, not what is perceived about you by others, nor even by yourself, for you are not a fit judge of yourself. Your measure is taken by your full being, not to judge, but to digest the essence of the true you. It is not some arbitrary sentence handed down to you that determines your future karma, but it is determined by the essence of what you are. Karma is enforced by the attachments established by deeds, intentions and attitudes which mirror the essence of oneself. What you are is what reflects upon you as your karma. As you change, so does your karma.

Doing the best one can to be in total attunement and harmony with the highest and the best that one can perceive through one's religious, philosophical or intuitive studies helps to create a bridge from the gap or bardo in which one is trapped to that which is Cosmic Consciousness or the Divine Mind of God. Overcoming one's lower qualities while improving higher ones raises the entire being. Thus one moves to become "One with the Divine Father/Mother/God in Heaven".
 
Vibrating with Absolute Deity in the Mind of God

Now moving beyond the Cosmic Mind's subsystems that make up information based materialized bodies and beings, one can look at the invisible energies of the universe, at the Mind of God, so to speak. The Mind of God, simply put is: the frequency at which Universal Consciousness vibrates. Just as heat, sound, radio waves, color, brain waves, and even physical objects vibrate at their own special frequencies, so does consciousness. There are higher and lower frequencies of consciousness.

High Speed Vibrating in the Mind of God

In the New Testament, this frequency or vibration, for want of such terminology at the time, was called the "Word", for words are made of sound having a meaning, purpose or intention of Will contained and carried within the sound vibrations. Thus it was said that in the beginning was the "Word", the Vibration of God, and the "Word was God", was "With God" and without the "Word or Vibration", nothing that is created would be. The writer of this passage understood that the Universe is in constant vibration and that vibration created all things.

Looking at this concept of the "Mind of God" as being the "Universal Vibrator", you may recall that this Awareness has previously indicated that the universe appears and disappears every four quadrillionths of a second. But what does this mean to say that the universe appears and disappears so frequently?

This Awareness suggests you imagine consciousness being visible as a strand or wave of energy, and imagine you are able to observe somewhere in the universe such a strand or wave that is vibrating at four quadrillionths of a second. Now understand that this wave of consciousness contains the frequency that carries the same data or information enjoyed by the entire universe. This strand of "Ultimate Frequency" mirrors or reflects all of the infinite number of similar and parallel strands throughout the universe.

Visualize the molecule of ocean water or the frequency of the television broadcast energy or the wave of Universal Consciousness as reflecting perfectly as many counterparts scattered elsewhere throughout. This Awareness suggests that like the wave of water or the frequency of the broadcast, the movement of Cosmic Consciousness mirrors the rest of the ocean of Cosmic Consciousness on the same frequency, and therefore carries and contains the same information throughout the universe at that frequency associated with Cosmic Consciousness. Anyone able to attune to that frequency at any place throughout the universe, will attune to the Cosmic Consciousness frequency and thereby attune to the entire Cosmos.

A Glimpse at the Mind of God

Returning to the concept of the strand of consciousness, this Awareness suggests now that you look at the nature of a frequency. Though in reality it is a vibration going in all directions or in specially channeled directions, your electronic instruments shows it up visibly as a kind of horizontal zig-zag line across an oscilloscope screen. In reality it is a pulsating wave sphere oscillating from a central point rather than a line, and frequencies pulsate at a faster (higher) or slower (lower) rates.

Though the frequency is not actually moving as it does on the oscilloscope screen, for purposes of visualization, this Awareness suggests you visualize consciousness as if it were such a stand that vibrates so as to appear and disappear every four quadrillionths of a second. As it disappears and reappears, it brings its particular information back into existence with it. Remember that this Awareness has indicated that All Is Consciousness and All Is Information being processed. Visualize that this repeats four quadrillion times a second, minute after minute, hour by hour, year by year, through centuries, millennia, and eons of time into eternity. You will have a glimpse of the makeup of a strand of the universe with its universal information at work.

A Universe of Vibrating Strands

Now in visualizing this strand being paralleled by infinitely more similar strands so thick as to fill all of the universe with strands of consciousness with all of them doing the same thing: appearing and disappearing four quadrillion times each second, throughout eternity. Remember that these strands are processing information as the Mind of God, the Universal Consciousness.

If you can glimpse this image, you may glimpse the everywhere present, omnipotent Mind of God, the Ultimate and Primordial Vibration, appearing everywhere at once, and imperceptibly disappearing everywhere at once, every four quadrillionths of a second. This Ultimate, Omnipresent, Primordial Vibration is the Consciousness of the Universe, it is the motor of Life, the sound of Om, the Universal Creator, the Ultimate God.
And no, it is not anthropomorphic (man-god).  It is the God of Universal life.
