What is Truth?

I felt this excerpt from a letter to me by a thoughtful philosopher and
author* -- in response to my answer to his question about what was the general
response by scientists and philosophers to my Astro Biological Coenergetics web
site and postings -- would be of specific interest to students of occult
metaphysics or theosophical science, and other wonderers of what is truth?
I hope it gives us much food for thought. I know it did for me. :-)

Thanks, I suspected as much, but, as usual, want to be sure, or
something. And Oh, Yes, All I get is silence too, but they listen
allright. One may detect it by certain rhetorical shifts in emphasis.

There's some interesting stuff you might like on: and more on trufax.org

There's now also a vol 3 out. dd 2003.
I'm still worming my way through this as a second reading reveals more
stuff between the lines.
May I present you with one of my burbles to Karl Jaspers Forum, run
by Herbert Muller where academics are still playing gods to the
illiterate hoi polloi. Might give you a good laugh. HM has the fondness
when stuck in a corner, as I regularly do to him, to use foreign
languages and words he imagines us folks don't understand. BTW I've not
read Rilke either, don't need to.
THE IN-VERSE"
With ALL eyes sees the Creature openness.
Only OUR eyes are As[IF] turned about,
and quite around Them placed, like waterfalls
ensphered, inhibits their free doings.
==My rendition of a verse from Rilke in German
<1>
We should be quite careful in rendering languages, f.i. German, insists
on particles where English allows more of the dynamic ambient or
gerundial. The only model we can use here is the astral where such
things do happen, for which see Robert Monroe and many others. Rilke
calls us creature, as in creative & created and not Mensch. "our" makes
clear he could have written 'Mankind's eyes', but that would ruin the
metre and rhythm as well as the conjointness. In 3-D 'surround' would be
Spherical as for feng shui and astrology, which hails back to medieval
medallion mapping and older. It is like waterfalls because the aura is
conventionally rendered in single colours, where in effect they
coruscate and interlace quite dynamically, in quite unearthly colours.
Rilke is a mystic and to mundanise him into the linear quite distorts
the ideas he expresses. 'Umgekehrt' is as for the Looking Glass, a
topological inversion rather, not a linear one. Dalton's atom is a
reasonable model of the interlacings, all done in spirals or Fibonacci
modelling.
<2>
In a spherical & topological sense this inversion comes, as from a
centre, in many symmetries and for each an enantiodromic asymmetry,
which for the astral is many dimensions as 360 x 350 x 360 by degrees =
some 46 million "dimensions" or directions, let alone including minutes
and less. For this we can aver to the Sepher Yetsirah [The book of the
Points, Mantua, 1612 AD] where there are points within points and points
without points, and each point being "free" or open to the East, West,
South, North and centre and circumference, not unlike Ezekiel's wheels
within wheels. It is perhaps best imaged as like a flower exfoliating
from a bud or a body from an egg and plant from seed. Chladni figures
and after are relevant here. The astral, using the word best known,
comes as phenomenal for the psychic and unformed or void and formless in
the mystical where alone we can "see" its infinite potential, which to
actualise is quite something different again. Con-text as surrounding is
best rendered as IN-text here since in the astral any there is always
here, as made clear by the Red Queen to Alice whom she tells that merely
to stay "here" one has to move faster than light. Alan Aspect's research
here reveals telepathic contact between particles because they are only
particles in 3-D illusory land. It is rendered graphically to assist our
physical senses although it is a quite aniconic *flux*. Dynamic flow
process cannot be rendered in images. In the astral unprepared visitants
make the raw experient (1) try to dive back into the body, (2) fancy he
is going crazy, where in effect he is going sane. This happens when we
live IN fear and suffer from expectations, if not silly hopes.
<3>
The best current model for all this is the hologram. The reader may
google "hologram" and spend a few interesting hours. We see a pixel in
an unprojected holograph but this is false since every such "dot"
contains the information OF [not ABOUT] its wholeness and its wholeness
also about every part. The Information is infoliately spread everywhere
and exfoliately a hologram; all at once and together. We have not got
into multi-frequential holograms yet, but we will. A first sound
hologram has been made. An old saw has it that: the ALL is in the all
and the all in the ALL; Whence to speak linearly of an inverse for
umgekehrt is quite false and too limiting. The action is as from an
always *here" - and NOW - as our experiential focus, but as we change
the in-text the ex-texts change their demeanour. Neither the here nor
now are quantifiably limited except by our choices. It is not the ego
thought i/c for the Intellect's word factory, but Freud's ID he feared
so much where experience turns about the UN-conscious into a
super-conscious, where at higher levels of the mystical one *knows* the
relation between what is projected as a seed of our hologram, which
again, experience can learn to choose. This is shown in Dante's Divine
Comedy, when we change from being subject to the material senses in
Purgatory and Hell, to DO-ing this in our own right, so to speak, as a
co-partner of God's Thoughtings. To reach the heights search the depth,
after which, the journey completed we are and know beyond good and evil.
Deus diavolus inversus est, also implies diavolus depends on god's
grace, to be the Father of Lies. Tibetan Yoga is quite emphatic that we
learn the gods - archetypes - both good and evil - are but our
projections, indeed of our multifarious potentials. Again here we have
the Lama who can do this and the Geshe who just knows about it. Lamas
don't teach, Geshes do; at least not until you've grown out some. Geshes
are more verbally dynamic and flexible, as was Carroll's Father William.
<3>
Thus from a centre, that is but a spark of The Univeral mindings, we get
both an individual centre AND a collective which together with this IT
[IN-tell_ i_gence Transcendent] are enabled to act when this is in
harmony, which comes as for the individual, the collective AND
[inclusive] IT. "in the beginning is the thought, and the thought was
with god and the thought was god, all at once and together OR ISOLATED<
as you like. Sanscrit for "word" is VAC as in vacuum and emptiness. In
the beginning was desire" it says too. The game rules change as we
escape from the witches' cage, Where in the mundane it is our con-text
that prescribes to us,or presumes to, in the astral -Purgatory- we CAN
experience our hidden beliefs as the correlation of in-texts with
ex-texts phenomenally, and in the mystical we have learnt this so can
use this more wisely transcendentally. Graphically and topologically put
thus, from the causal or seed centre projects a 3-D hologramic illusion,
within which we can move and have our being in 2 and 1-D abductive
modes. This is made quite clear in the Sepher and other Talmudic
writings, although within the 3-D and linear this is quite confusing and
paradoxical, being stuck in space and time, where location governs. We
need not, as does the human law, BE responsible for what happens to us
in ignorance and innocence, but we CAN take responsibility, which
changes the nature of the Game and Player as well told in A.E. van
Vogt's Null-A SF stories, by Albert Goseyn, pun for Go-sane. It is truly
as St Paul has it where perfect obedience to the laws is perfect
freedom. Those laws are both simple and infinitely complex in their
outworkings, After all ***IT *** being immortal, boundless and eternal
may well seeM quite devious in its ways to the uninitiated. But once
In-IT-i-ated it is a fun game. Jung, about the collective is quite right
when he mentions that what the experient cannot or won't acknowledge as
IN himself, is that IT comes as Fate from an outside. I find the ego
notion that we each project THE world quite funny. Besides it is
contrary to Ockham's razor. We DO project our individual worlds which
vary everywhere, as, so to speak, our choice selections from an infinite
potential. By this the collective current world condition is a
collective. God seems to like specialists but not the narrow-minded.
He's also very good with logics.

This makes of Rilke someone who would be passed as a Zen Master and Lama
both. I won't speak of gurus or wiseacres. Nor will I include any
details from Quantum findings the reader should best explore himself. Of
necessity much of what is written for the benefit of the sense & word
bound somewhat distorts all this but that too is part of the game rules.
It is and has been the best advertised secret ever. One has to learn to
sort the gold from the dross, both in and outside in this resthome for
Angels. It's Your choice, as Hamlet has it, whether it is nobler to
suffer the slings and arrows of Outrageous Fortune, or do otherwise.
It's your free choice, and all roads ultimately lead to Rome, and aye,
away from it as well.
<5>
I shall now for contrast and confirmation, cite from Zen>> As
serendipity will have it, this just popped up.
" Hardly anything is known of Yangqi (Yangchi), despite the fame of his
school and the powerful influence of the line of teachers descended from
him. Yangqi said that the condition of the environment depends on the
individual and collective mentalities and actions of its inhabitants,
but the individual and collective mentalities and actions of the
inhabitants are also conditioned by the environment. From inside, this
circle is the suffocating wheel of bondage itself, but with
extradimensional consciousness able to deliberately transform thought
and behavior it becomes a field of progressive action."
" Detachment from the images formed by the process of conditioning,
Yangqi said, undermines their spellbinding power and enables the mind to
recover the autonomy that makes fresh progress possible. Nothing is
destroyed by this experience, however, except the force of illusion;
Yangqi taught that there is still human feeling, corresponding to the
design and reason of the natural world." Zen Essence, Translated &
Edited by Thomas Cleary pg. 103
<6>
To summarise, the steersman is then an individual, conjoint part with a
collective, which should be "demo-cratic" and co-active in the IT. But
all which it varies with one's chosen perspective on the situation and
condition. In stone age rock carvings the "Ship of the Dead" is shown
with seven occupants, archetypal of what is built into our being=ness in
varying proportions and redolent of the seven veils of our aura. This is
ante-diluvial where people lived in Grace and were not very interested
in temporary visits. The oft repeated call is "sleeper awake". It's
quite indifferent was to whether we call it a who or a what.
"When Buddhas meet, they nod and pass, what is there to say?".
"Why are people called Buddhas after they die?
Because they don't grumble any more,
Because they don't make a nuisance of themselves! --Ikkyu
OFF course because they are mythologised and not kept humanised.
I hope this very brief KISS exegesis is of use to people.
