Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00002)

Based on the below quote... With reference to the ABC model of the zero-point 
as the center of consciousness (awareness, will) and its abstract motion, 
angular momentum, or "spinergy" as the source of the force or substance that 
composes the "fields of consciousness"... Wouldn't it be reasonable to say that 
consciousness radiates and matter emanates? 

If so, wouldn't it also be reasonable to conclude that the zero-point of 
universal origin (and its ubiquitous reflections or radiation's throughout 
dimensional or phenomenal space) is the Absolute, and that the substantial fields of 
consciousness emanating from the spinergy (that grow out of each other, and 
therefore, evolve and differentiate) are the Relatives? 

Doesn't this mode of thinking give us a handle that might link the 
theosophical metaphysics, which considers consciousness as immaterial and outside of 
time and space, with physics theories such as Superstring/M-brane, quantum field, 
holographic paradigm, implicate-explicate order, etc. (Ref: Greene, Pribram, 
Bohm, etc.) -- so that such theories can eventually be consolidated into a 
single Unified field theory of everything -- which also includes and explains the 
nature of consciousness and its relationship to matter, as well as the 
binding of mind to brain? ("Hard problems," incidentally, that conventional 
reductive science is completely baffled by.)

Incidentally one of the keys to the ABC theory of visual perception is the 
"holographic paradigm" of Pribram, which hypothesizes that the brain creates an 
electromagnetic hologram of the images focussed on the retinas... That, 
according to ABC, then transfers "coenergetically" (i.e. by inductive-resonance 
processes) through the astral fields to the mind-memory fields -- where that 
hologram can be reconstructed (and reflected back to our point of awareness) by a 
coherent beam of astral light radiated from our zero-point center of 
consciousness, wherever in that hologram we intentionally or willfully focus out 
attention. (Binocular depth perception is also related to this process -- since a 
higher order hologram can be created of a hologram... But, that's another 
story.:-) 

To understand how Pribram's "holonomic brain" theory works, and its 
relationship to conventional holography, as well as brain neurology, see:
