Theos-Talk Archives (June 2006 Message tt00356)

Dallas & others,

To aid in one's careful study, and to help avoid confusion... 

Please note that the connection between the different states of consciousness 
described below -- as seen by the Theosophists or Esoteric Buddhists (7 
chakras) and the Vedantists (4 Koshas) -- is clearly shown in the symbolic 
spherical cross section diagram of the primal field's fractal involution's after 
initial radiation and expansion out of the absolute zero-point's "abstract motion," 
or angular momentum ("Spinergy") at the primal beginning, or cosmic 
"Singularity" (before the "big bang" -- in accord with Einstein's theory of 
relativity).   See: Universal Field Energy Diagram at: 
How It All Began  
http://members.aol.com/uniwldarts/uniworld.artisans.guild/chakrafield.html


Incidentally, this geometric visualization of the primal beginning and its 
cosmogenesis arising out of a previously contracted and sleeping universal 
zero-point singularity and its spinergy, should be sufficient subjective proof (for 
anyone willing to examine it carefully) that the Cosmos and all that is in 
it, requires no separate "creator" in order to involve and evolve in accord with 
the fundamental laws of karma and reincarnation (while obeying every law of 
physics) to its present state of spiritual, mental, astral and physical 
complexity... With all its intelligence contained as holographic interference 
patterns (akashic record) on its Spinergy (infinite force or angular momentum 
spinning clockwise and counterclockwise on infinite potential spherical axes) that is 
in and surrounds every zero-point field center located everywhere, on every 
level of consciousness throughout infinite space and time. 

Thus, also, accounting for the intimate connection of and linkage between 
everything in the universe, from the largest galaxy, down through the smallest 
particle, to the zero-point itself.   "Universal brotherhood" between every such 
point of "entangled" consciousness, therefore, being the natural law of life 
that governs the true evolution of all sentient beings throughout eternity.   

Let this be the mind blowing thought image that every one of us carries with 
us when we next go to sleep... And, each night thereafter, until full 
enlightenment is reached.   If each one of us passes this thought image on to ten 
others, and they each in turn to ten more, it wouldn't be long (relatively) before 
the entire world is enlightened and universal brotherhood along with 
consequent ethical altruism and harmonious relationship becomes the active (self 
determined) governing rule of law behind all human behavior before the end of this 
cycle of man's evolution.   Just "Imagine..." As John Lennon sung it...

Best wishes,

Lenny
