UNFOLDING RHYTHMS

                  Someone challenged us when he wrote: ”Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges as the infinity in which he is engulfed.” Fractal cosmology, and the fractal consciousness that comes from it may be just the passage we need to bridge the gap between the nothingness from which we emerge and the infinity in which we are engulfed, says Gary Z McGee, a former Navy Intelligence Specialist turned philosopher. He is the author of Birthsuit of God and the Looking Glass Man. His works are inspired by the great philosophers of the ages and his wide view of the modern world, and may I add: his wide-eyed view of the modern world. 

                 McGee considers that each and every conscious observation is a microcosmic butterfly that has macrocosmic consequences.  Conscious observation to him is a water drop interpretation. There is merely an infinite wavefunction with only the potential to be collapsed into an objective reality, giving us perceivable objects.  Consciousness, the “the infinity in which we are engulfed” is the medium by which reality as we know it, exists. But it goes beyond this. Each and every unique conscious observation creates a domino-effect of alternate realities which he perceives are collapsing and re-collapsing ad infinitum throughout the fractal universe (or multiverse).  It’s enough to make our brains backflips in our skulls.

                 Hard to believe, but I can see the beauty of fractal cosmological perspective through the eyes of McGee, I am happy to say suddenly with my eyes sparkling in awe and wonder of a child that I have this unspeakable understanding of the infinite interconnectivity of all things that McGee says can be explained in a multitude of ways: from mathematics to geometry to chaos theory, while it is elegant enough that it correlates with such far-reaching scientific ideas as Hugh Everertt’s Many-Worlds interpretation of the quantum enigma, Canter’s Set Theory, Godel’s Incompleteness theorem, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty principle, and Zeno’s Paradox. But modern scientists have noted that in the midst of climatic chaos, there is a Method.

                  And it is personal enough that it resonates strongly with what’s occurring during acts of meditation and other altered states of consciousness.  When in stillness, quietness, ineptness, one finds the answer to today’s screaming anxieties.  About chasing cancer for example.  Or why excessive screening in medical centers  can cause unintended harm, stress and waste, says a surgeon who is trained to crush cancer. New research finds that some health screening efforts have gone too far, and a 2012 Institute of Medicine report concludes that Americans spend as much as one-third of their health care dollars on tests, medicine, procedures and administrative burdens that do not improve health outcomes, writes Marty Makary, a cancer surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in commentary, Time magazine, March 10, 2014.  So it is the delicately balanced metabolism of Nature that responds to match the incoming celestial influence after 2012, that we see in a whole array of plants, animal and human beings; each species and type absorbing and covering a particular range of vibration, showing how the celestial world influences the current terrestrial situation that’s calling for change.  We have to appreciate that behind the physical World manifestation is the subtle World of Formation based on Astrology and the Kabbalah.  Herein we see the term ‘sidereal’ or ‘starry’ level is used, remembering that to the ancient and medieval mind this meant the planetary level of existence or the ‘astral’ which has exactly the same meaning. Notice that I didn’t mention ‘modern mind’

                   A more important point however, says Zev Ben simon Halevi, author of Anatomy  of Fate, is to perceive the fact that the physical is dependent on the subtle World of Change, which denotes changing the approach to healing from the physical to the subtle or unseen world  and not the reverse.  Meaning, the modern art of healing is dependent on the physical alone, and thus incomplete.  Dr Makary met a patient who taught him another negative outcome, one that does not show up in the  national statistics, that of emotional trauma from false alarms.  The patient recounted feeling tormented by the idea that he might be harboring a precancerous time bomb.  His distress arose not from cancer as Makary says, but from medicine’s limited ability to interpret a normal variation of anatomy discovered by new technology.  Change due to climate aberrations like winter storms getting more frequent and severe in cold countries  after 2012  help point this out, something is very wrong in the modern mind’s way of thinking. It is tormented by too much desire to control fate, money, disease, mortality, wishing to be immortal, but nonetheless freewill does not succeed, no matter how chaotic things turn out to be, because the Will of the Divine predominates over the will of the non-divine.  The good news says Makary is that a grassroots movement within medicine is identifying unnecessary tests and procedures to educate doctors and the public about them. 

                    The World of Creation, it will be remembered, is the cosmic factor of Existence.  By this is meant the grand design of Existence as it unfolds the Will of God.  Citing Halevi again, this is the gradual descent of the creative impulse out of the Perfect world of Divine emanation to its most physical manifestation and back again in the impulse of evolution that brings the Universe and its inhabitants into the Divine Presence again.  How long has it been since the term ‘divine presence’ has been mentioned by people all around us, including those who often go to church to hear mass? In terms of the horoscope the state of Creation and the state it has reached are only perceived by those with the longest sight and deepest visions.  The good news is that a number of young people including my daughter Georgette Joy is going to join a southeast asian convention on Creation Care this week march 17- 21 in Clarke airbase, Pampanga, on a scholarship, meaning she has to pass its requirements being in a managerial capacity in her company to enroll in it. Talk about evolving consciousness in humans.   

                   We might have a glimpse the scale of Creation if we could see the motion of the Milky Way galaxy where our solar system hangs in a little nook of its vastness, but no one lifetime is sufficient to detect the basic shift of even the nearest stars except by very old records contained in libraries of antiquity or powerful instrumental magnification.  Thus a sensually based man when confronted by this level of existence cannot begin to comprehend the great movements in the Universe.  He only sees a vast stillness that overawes and frightens him into clinging on to the known patterns of Nature and his own tiny life and preoccupations. But sometimes you meet a man of considerable sensibility like the time a close kin told a group of friends how he quietly wept when he was engulfed by the great immensity of the sky in the desert of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia where he managed a project of cleaning up the environment around a new city Yanbu al Shinaya.  Not everyone bothers to notice the immensity of the skies though, and even such terrestrial events such as earthquakes are deliberately ignored in a self-imposed psychological sleep of not recognizing planetary activity, again observes the jewish author Halevi in his classic book, Anatomy of Fate. .

                    The San Andreas fault under California is a kind of impossible myth, Halevi agrees with a whole lot of nature observers, as belonging to another world to most of its inhabitants, and he avers, it belongs to another World, the Subtle World (of the soul) and it will be so until triggered into its disastrous earthquake by the tension of the solar system action upon that part of the Earth, noting the word ‘disaster’ means also ‘of the stars.’

                      In the World of Creation, we can detect its physical aspect of the horoscope in factoring the Milky Way, the constellations, and individual stars.  The Great Year of the precession of the Equinoxes known to astrologers (and astronomerts) which generates the Age of Aquarius indicates the Earth’s response to the grand design which the galactic and stellar Worlds implement.  The Earth in the solar system therefore, follows the giant cosmic impulse of evolution so that creatures that are born in certain epochs relate to the current stage of the Galaxy whose stellar emissions, at varying frequencies of wavelengths, and rhythms produce particular mutations in organic life on Earth.  Each species and type are absorbing and converting all the colors of the spectrum, except one, which it rejects, in the form of display, like the red of the rose, although mutations have been done to the rose to come up with other colors, but you can never remove the thorns.

                  In the animal kingdom, each creature’s organism absorbs a particular quality of the total energy and expression in its life the reflection of that quality until the last of its species no longer meet the cosmic requirements.  Man, the spearhead of physical evolution containing all the other kingdoms, is the most versatile of the terrestrial creatures, and is rapidly extending over the Earth’s surface, almost eliminating the less efficient levels of life.  The cosmic intention is clearly indicated to make it aware of the aberrations of existence as part of man’s education into learning about its conscience and responsibility as the Steward or commissioned protector and preserver of the earth’s resources, to make it the terrestrial paradise of the universe.  And how about the care of its own children?  Marriages have so deteriorated in the belief of the sacredness of family life and values that because of wanting to keep hunger away from our tables, we have or some of us have allowed dark shadows of evil to roost in our midst.  The UNICEF Fund is asking us to learn the signs to end trafficking of children, or minors who have gone out of parental control and so thousands of children are victims of trafficking in countries well known to us as advanced in economic or technological progress, and where we may wish to migrate.
