Here we go...post number four, and I can feel myself warming up nicely for the task ahead.
In my third blog, I attempted the difficult task of explaining exactly how and why the golden mean proportion and the enlightened state of consciousness have an intimate relation. Tonight I want to examine some of the things that appear to be wrong with the state of modern scientific thinking. This provides an alternative perspective that helps to set the stage for a new model of universe itself, that I intend to present more fully over the days and weeks ahead.
One question I would like to address is: Why is this relationship of consciousness and the golden mean important? Why does it matter? Who cares if consciousness, especially in the enlightened state, is related to the golden mean proportion?
Probably the first reason that it matters is that this information destroys the basis of modern science and reduces its overall credibility to zero. Scientific knowledge, as we understand that term today, is exposed as limited by its false paradigms and its inability to incorporate the fact of consciousness into its deliberations.
Even if science is correct in a limited sense, we must still grapple with the fact that the Absolute, the One, holds no place in science. Analysis is the method of science but it always involves studying the parts of universe in relationship to other parts. These parts are always considered to have an arbitrary and inanimate existence that does not depend in any way upon consciousness itself. Yet if the fact of consciousness were incorporated into the deliberations of science, this may change them in a fundamental way. Therefore nothing that science claims to be true or otherwise may remain that way once consciousness is factored into the equation.
The self, the true presence of consciousness itself, has two aspects, which we may call higher and lower, or inner and outer, and these two aspects ultimately correspond to two of the three fundamental divisions of the universe. These divisions are truly one and the same with religious and philosophical notions of a divine trinity, or a union of three forces or energies in one. Of course this understanding that the self has two aspects is very ancient, but the knowledge has gradually been lost. People talk about the soul but they have lost connection with what it means. The rise of the scientific method since the Age of Reason arrived at around the beginning of the 1600's has gradually diluted and weakened the awareness of the soul. Today we have arrived at a point where many people despair because they have lost this connection and no longer believe in the possibility of eternal life.
The arising of this disconnected state is paralleled by the rise of scientific theories that have reduced universe to an inanimate functional system in which life is characterised as a purely physical and chemical mechanism. From this distorted point of view, everything developed in a completely linear way into the forms we know today through the chaotic interaction of random elements and by pure chance, with every cause producing a subsequent effect in an endless chain. This makes it necessary to continue looking backwards in time and space for more causes, but unfortunately and regrettably, the ultimate cause – pure consciousness – can never be identified with this method, because consciousness itself is regarded as an eventual result of these same cause and effect mechanisms. This is a fundamental error.
Science has certain limited practical benefits; these benefits involve the analysis of cause and effect mechanisms. The use of our reasoning faculties is important. However, the typical approach is too linear and fails to see the cyclical, “whole system” complexity of all situations. Most importantly of all, it completely fails to understand that the analysis of cause and effect takes place within the field of universal consciousness that is the ultimate generative cause of all things, including time and space. This kind of analysis is what Plato called, “particular knowledge”, which is knowledge of particular things without understanding of their essence and without knowledge of the eternal principle of order and harmony that is the golden mean proportion. When rational analysis is embedded into an understanding of the world that incorporates the golden mean proportion, a balancing can occur between the left and right sides of the brain. This enables the reasoning faculty to find its true home as a useful intellectual tool that isolates individual elements and studies their relationships, even though these elements are also understood to be interconnected in the holomovement. The mechanisms and processes identified by science, explained in strictly rational and arbitrary terms, are the result, and not the cause, of consciousness.
This means that the ability of consciousness to directly influence these mechanisms vibrationally goes unrecognised and unacknowledged by our sciences. Consciousness can influence any physical mechanism through its coherence. This enables it to alter whole systems vibrationally; those who are curious might refer to Hans Jenny's Cymatics
experiments, in which it is shown how the Platonic forms produced out of vibration of the diatonic tones can be rearranged into new ones simply by up-stepping the rate of vibration. This latent ability in all human beings is not recognised by our sciences, but everything I have learned about the vibrational basis of physical forms has convinced me that human beings do possess this ability. It can be accessed by improving the coherence of our consciousness and our potential to do this is unlimited, but it can hardly happen when most people do not even try to become more coherent.
Our sciences are blinded; they are founded on this notion that causes can be identified and analysed in an absolute way. This is why science continually looks for causes in an endless linear chain. This is evident, for example, in medical science, where researchers believe that the causes of disease come down to physical mechanisms that can be isolated and identified. In medical science too, the idea that consciousness could influence the outcome of disease is regarded as pseudo-scientific. Science is influential in conditioning the thinking of the rest of our society, and given that it is based on this linear view of reality, it is difficult to see how society can widen its perceptions of other important matters at the collective level until science comes to understand the absurdity of its position. In truth there is only one Cause, just as there is only one reality and one consciousness, and they are all the same.
Of course what I am suggesting is deeply problematic for science. To accept the miracle of universal consciousness means understanding the limits of the rational approach that is inherent in science, upon which the foundations of its entire methodology are built. This has some serious personal implications for any individual scientist who has not previously acknowledged to themselves that the miracle is real and that it is beyond any possibility of rational understanding. It undermines the credibility of the entire scientific enterprise, and demands a reassessment of one's own investment in notions of knowledge, in the methodology that looks away from the self, and in identification with science as the only valid methodology for the discovery of actual truth.
The true understanding of the golden mean proves that universe is based in and maintained by a form of consciousness alone. It does this by demonstrating that creative activity occurs only through a point of conscious focus, and could not be the result of any chance or random accumulation of forces and energies. It shows us that consciousness is only a phenomenon of self-organised coherence that uses the mathematics of the golden mean. It demonstrates that all physical and non-physical forms are a logical and understandable development of vibrations out of a base of pure principle. This is the blending of polarities that produces a new result in the middle, which in wave mechanics results in geometric forms that are the structural basis of physical things, and in music results in harmony, and in human consciousness makes the state of enlightenment.
Consciousness is the foundational substance of universe, all “physical” matter being nothing more than an extension of it into greater apparent complexity. It becomes the only viable explanation. Any scientific attempt to ascribe fundamental universal processes to a wholly mechanical, arbitrary, chaotic or random action of forces and energies cannot succeed, just as Big Bang theory fails to explain what caused the Big Bang and is therefore not a theory of ultimate origins. There is no way to account for the existence of the energy without postulating a form of consciousness. It does not matter how many theories science comes up with. It cannot escape this thought cage that has been built around the idea that everything has a further cause, and that everything is material, mechanical, and arbitrary – until and unless it recognises the true Cause of all things – the existence of the eternal pure consciousness of the Infinite Creator and the miracle of life itself.
There are numerous signs of the presence of the golden mean that are discussed in the mainstream and on the so-called fringe of physics. The evidence is everywhere. Our current models are about to be transcended, because the logic of introducing consciousness to the equation cannot be denied for ever. But why is the golden mean always present? The answer to this question can only lie in the fact of the universal priority of consciousness, which needs a consistent principle at its basis to flower into form. The mathematics of the golden mean are all we need for an understanding of gravity, the existence of all forms and consciousness itself as a phenomenon of wave coherence. There is nothing else that can be said that will make it any clearer. No-one can simply demand that our scientists awaken to the truth. Everybody must find the revelation on their own. The ideas I present here are just signposts pointing at an experience.
A postulated foundation in pure consciousness does provide many avenues to coherently explain the subsequent development of phenomena into greater complexity. It might be difficult to see why the “big explosion” hypothesis is preferred by science. If we exclude consciousness itself from our scientific models we exclude any possibility of a truly rational explanation. We derive meaning only from separative concepts and have no way to unify them. The scientist comes to resemble a modern day priest relating some strange new religious dogma that excludes the very thing – the only thing – that can bring meaning to life, which is the knowledge of the oneness of all phenomena and the divine agency revealed in the mathematics of harmony. An abstruse technical language has created a situation where any non-scientist who tries to understand quantum physics comes away with the impression that our universe is a sort of multi-dimensional, scalar, time-reversed, ultra-relativistic mad-Einsteinian hell-hole. But why should the universe be so complex? We all belong in it. Common sense suggests it will have simple, consistent principles at its basis, as Richard Feynman also knew intuitively.
There is no rational explanation for the oneness of universe, because the unity of all things, all people, all consciousness, all force, all energy, all reality just is. This is the only realistic common sense explanation. Physicists can try to define physical things without reference to consciousness to whatever degree they like, but at the end of it the model I am presenting here, based upon consciousness and the golden mean proportion, will be all that remains. Physicists will one day be left with a bunch of boggled and discombobulated minds, staring into the face of the divine and wondering why they could not see before the obvious need to include consciousness in the models. Physics cannot arrive at a rational model of the universe without allowing consciousness into the equation. Only the knowledge of the Infinite Creator, the mystery of of the three-in-one and the self-referential golden mean can provide this model, in which the rational and the divine both have their place.
