Consciousness as energy

            I have always accepted consciousness as an energy, but passed it off as an intangible energy separate from what we can call “measurable energy”. I still believe this is true, but I have a theory and clues to where it could be hiding.

            If you imagine the entire electromagnetic spectrum, you have radio waves on the far low end of the spectrum and you have gamma rays and cosmic rays on the highest end of the spectrum. Visible light would fall right clean in the middle of the chart. So infra-red, microwaves, and radio waves exist under the red range, and ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma, and cosmic rays exist past the violet range. With reference to the chakras, the violet ray is the energy of the thousand pedaled crown chakra representing consciousness in its own pure formlessness and desirelessness.

            So it is known that cosmic rays contain a massive amount of energy. So much energy, we don’t have a way of reproducing it yet on earth. We can only observe cosmic ray energies that come from supernovas, supermassive black holes, etc.

            What if consciousness is an energy frequency so high that the massive amount of energy breaks the event horizon of light itself? In other words, thought would be the only thing capable of escaping a black hole. Because of this, consciousness exists outside the rules of space-time. This would fit in with the chakra model because the third eye is represented by light, but consciousness itself in its raw form is represented of the seventh chakra, the crown.

            The interesting area is the boundary; the quantum world. The x-ray, gamma, and cosmic ray range all interact with particles and subatomic particles. This is also where we see the interactions of observation affecting matter (the double slit experiment). It seems to hint that thoughts could be carrying energy at a high wavelength similar to subatomic particles which is why it interacts with them. Making that inference you could throw the theory out there that thoughts are actually objects in a higher dimension but we just cannot see them. It would give a lot of meaning to how karma really works. Your thoughts are literally creating equal and opposite reactions of cause and effect through the functioning of higher dimensional constructs.

            Linking the quantum world with being the boundary of matter and mind proves a lot of areas of interest. Phenomenon like quantum entanglement and superposition begin to show the boundlessness of consciousness. Perhaps when the event horizon of light is breached, consciousness reaches a state of ultimate superposition with all particles of the universe. Maybe that’s why the crown chakra is associated with unity, completion, and the worship of the “is-ness”. It is a state of connection with all of the universe and the Creator himself. Everything is perfect just as it is because it is all a reflection of this grand state of cosmic consciousness.

            In the end, we don’t know what consciousness is, but I think this is an intriguing theory to explore further. Perhaps when we have control over cosmic rays, we will unveil things even more boggling than the double slit experiment did. Until then, the only tool to reach the state of pure consciousness is consciousness itself. This is why no one can ever “show you the truth”. This is why all scriptures stress direct experience and the importance of meditation. It is only through deep meditation that you can have a direct experience of consciousness itself, for even words cannot describe what that is.

Alchemy and Organic Chemistry

            It is known that there are five essential elements required for life, organic chemistry, and to form DNA: Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus (H,C,N,O,P). These five elements are essential to the construction of the double helix DNA molecule. There is a strong correlation to Alchemy among this simple organic chemistry though. This concept was originally proposed by Hippocrates in ancient Greece as the theory of four bodily humors affecting personality (melancholic, sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic) but I thought I would break it down with a little more detail.

            We have mapped out many elements across the periodic table and we understand most of their properties very thoroughly. We do not know WHY the elements have their specific properties though. It has always been a mystery of chemistry. I want to propose an interesting spiritual observation about five of these elements, and perhaps why they are so important to our biochemistry. This is all just theory and I could actually have some of these elements mixed up, but I’m convinced in some order or another they represent the five elements of all creation.

            The five main organic elements are actually direct correlates of the five elements. Carbon is earth, hydrogen is air, oxygen is water, nitrogen is fire, and phosphorus is ether.

Carbon is easiest to see as earth. Carbon is what most of the planet is made of. It is the foundation of all life. In actuality, the carbon atom itself is really black. This shows the density of carbon and that the color black is just the beginning of the movement of consciousness. This seems to link with the denseness and solidity of the first charka, the root.

            Hydrogen can then be seen as air. Hydrogen is a seemingly simple and free element. It needs only two electrons to be stable. Hydrogen pairs and breaks away like the coming and going of wind. It is the least dense of the elements, and it is actually white or colorless in appearance.

            The hydrogen and carbon pairs combine to make Hydrocarbons, a large area of our organic chemistry. This is the battle of earth and air; yin and yang elements interacting as opposites which complete each other.

            Oxygen is representative of water. We are made of over 60% oxygen atoms by mass (because of all the water in our bodies. H20 = 16 out of 18 g/mol oxygen.) Oxygen is a fuel to the body and to the emotions. It’s light blue color also seems representative of its water nature.

            Nitrogen is the fire element. Most explosives are actually made with nitrogen. Nitrogen has a role with the solar plexus charka and its mental function because nitrogen is very important to the making of amino acids and proteins. These are the mental constructions on the cellular level of how the body will build itself.

            Nitrogen and oxygen interact a lot as well. There are many different oxides of nitrogen. They too, are engaged in a battle of bonding and breaking. Oxides of nitrogen are frequently used as explosives. The rapidly escaping oxygen molecules usually cause explosive reactions. This is the yin and yang of water and fire interacting. The water element is the storage of energy while the fire is the catalyst of burning off the stored energy. Just like nitrogen holding oxygen in place until it is agitated to set itself ablaze as the rapidly escaping oxygen is burned off.

Phosphorous now is left, and it serves an interesting purpose. All of the above molecules are also needed for the DNA molecule but phosphorous is equally important too. Phosphorous actually holds the DNA molecule together as it composes the strands which hold the base pairs. In addition to holding DNA molecule together, 80% of the body’s phosphorous is found in the bones to help hold bone structure together atomically. One of the signature traits of the element ether (not to be confused with the compound ether), is to hold the other elements together while also keeping them apart at the same time. If ether didn’t exist, everything would be stuck together, or everything would fly apart. Some other hints about phosphorous representing the element of ether is its conductivity and it’s gentle, pure, white luminescence. It also burns at an extremely high temperature of 5000 degrees, much like the element of plasma. This seems to reflect the 5^th chakra Visshuda in Sanskrit and how it translates to “perfectly pure”, and also how the element of plasma/lightning is associated with it.

So what does this all mean? The five elements are the primordial source of creation everywhere in the universe. You are made in the image of the cosmos. Also, the balance of these five elements in your body may also affect your entire energy flow. Your entire personality could be based off the amounts of these elements in your body. All matter is vibration, and vibration creates frequencies of consciousness.

On that note, why are the five elements so important? It is because they exist everywhere in the entire visible universe. Millions of planets out there all have solid rock, atmospheres, water, and fire. They may not have the same balance of the elements as here on Earth, but the mental archetype of earth, water, fire, wind, and space (ether) are known to all souls that have ever lived anywhere in space and time. They are a part of the collective universal unconscious. Because of this, they carry a dull energy of consciousness. It isn’t self-aware consciousness like us, or animalistic consciousness. It is an existential consciousness because those archetypes help build life, and are thus exposed to the consciousness they created through the long process of evolution. There is a vibration of “is-ness” with the elements because are all vibrating in unison across everywhere in the cosmos. They are the elements that make the body of the universe. Do you see the fractal image of creation?

Shielding

            We all have had days that seem more stressful than others. Days where things just don’t go the way we like and our chi is scattered. Psychic defense, or aura shielding, is a very effective way of dealing with situations like these. When the body becomes stressed, the aura shrinks away and diminishes leaving us even more vulnerable. Enforcing this barrier helps to ward the stress away and keep away negative energy. This field is actually measurable using a scientific technique called Gas Discharge Visualization. It measures the charge of the electricity surrounding the body, and research proved that a brief meditation will actually expand and balance this field to remarkable extents. I will go over a few common and personally developed techniques for shielding now.

            Before I do so, I must say a disclaimer. Psychic defense is the working of magic of Light. Psychic offense is NEVER a good idea, because then you are tapping dark forces and reaping bad karma. Remember that like attracts like. Working with light will draw the attention of angels, working with the dark will draw attention of demons. Remember to always keep love of others and the Creator in your heart.

The Bubble

This is the most simplest of shields and the template to work upon. Close your eyes, relax and take a few deep breaths. Imagine a bubble surrounding your entire body and protecting you from harm. You may imagine it starting from the top and forming down the body and eventually the feet too. You may also imagine a sphere starting from the heart and expanding outward to surround you. Do what feels comfortable. This field is also programmable. After practicing the basic bubble, you may start to program the energy to do more specific functions.

The Filter

This is one of the most useful shields. Start with the bubble shield but concentrate on the chi of shield to be strictly pure positive energy. This is a useful shield because you program the energy to only allow positive energy in and out. Negative energy will be warded away and not allowed in.

The Mirror Shield

Imagine a perfectly glossy and flawless mirror coating your aura. This is a more advanced shield that copies the nature of the energy that hits it. Positive energy will be reciprocated with positive response. Negative energy is sent back to where it came.

The Stone Wall

This usually isn’t necessary unless one is under severe attack or about to sustain a physical blow to a certain area of the body. Imagine either the body as a whole, or an area of the body to be completely rock solid, or even metal. Imagine that you are as immovable as a mountain. Nothing can penetrate, not even a bullet. You’d be surprised how effective this can be. This is a similar mental technique to what karate masters use.

The Marshmellow Shield

This is a more advanced shield but useful to the adepts who are skilled with energy work. Imagine a viscous fluid surrounding the aura. This fluid “catches” energy signals and slows them down. While transgressing, it converts negative energy into positive energy which is sent to the user and then reemitted and radiated back out. This one can be tricky because pacing the flow is important, and changing energy polarity is more of an advanced technique. Once mastered though, it gives one strength to work through situations and turn any bad vibes into good ones.

Other pointers

 Also, always begin and end any energy working in the name of the Creator, so that no open channels are left open and unattended.

Timeframes may be set on these constructs. You’d be surprised how accurate your circadian rhythms are with your intent.

Discarding the barriers when done and sending them back into the light as pure energy is also good so that the constructs aren’t floating aimlessly in the astral once abandoned. It also leaves less clutter in your aura.

Scan your shield for holes or cracks. These holes may signify chakra blockages and need energy work. Focusing a little extra protection in these areas helps, but don’t over focus because then it will be lopsided. Balance is key; for it is lack of balance that usually is the initial cause of blockages.

"A Wanderer's Handbook" by Carla Lisbeth Rueckert

Being Here Now.

There comes an unspeakable joy in giving love and thanksgiving to being alive in this exact moment.

To just be.

To just exist.

Purely and clearly like a crystal.

Not dwelling on the past or dreaming of the future, but focused clearly

on

right

now.

To just do what you are doing and nothing more. The mind becomes clear as the sky. The heart fills with love and light in adoration for the moment in all of its beauty, no matter what imperfections.

No words can describe this experience for it transcends words. It must be experienced directly. That joy is a timeless prize of consciousness. Because Zen is learning that emptiness is fullness. It is learning to find joy in the moment with empty hands, because we enter and leave this world, carrying nothing in our hands.

Peace and Truth

I really believe there will be a day where the world not only knows peace, but truth as well. No more lies from governments trying to control our private lives, no more materialistic illusions of purpose, but a simple truth that we can all rejoice in. A drive to find the inextinguishable light within us all to guide us to a higher reality of light and love.

Patterns in the Chakras: Geometry and Complementary Colors

I have perceived a couple of interesting patterns in the flow of prana through the chakras. To prevent over elaboration, I’m assuming the reader is already familiar with the seven chakras and their associated attributes.

            Firstly, one must understand that the heart is our electromagnetic singularity. The heart’s EKG readings are 10x stronger than the EEG readings of the brain. Like the saying where there is smoke, there is fire; whenever there is electricity, there is magnetism. This forms a tube torus figure around the body similar to what you would imagine a donut to look like.

            This presents geometry to the flow of kundalini and the chakras. This first sections purpose is to discuss the geometry of the electromagnetic field of the body. All of the chakras of the body spiral outward except the root and the crown. This is because they are “portal” chakras linking us to earth and the infinite celestial bodies above us. This is also why disturbances in these chakras are usually the most drastic because it leaves us farthest from our center. At the same time, these two chakras both contain very strong powers as they draw energy from Heaven and Earth. These are the energies of creation and destruction; light and dark. This too correlates to the visible spectrum as darkness would be below the red range and brilliant light would be past the violet range. The parallel of these are like that of two sides of a magnet. Negative being service only to the self and positive being service only to the Creator. Both of these are radical extremes and thus are balanced in the most sacred place, the heart.

 

            The heart is one of the most important chakras though. It is our singularity, like the center of a brilliant sun. Perhaps it’s a riddle of physics that stars only become black holes once they stop giving off electromagnetic energy and so they collapse under the force of the gravity energy. Likewise, the human heart must give constantly, because shining our love onto others is what keeps us happy deep down. A heart that wishes not to give will slowly collapse under its own weight. Love truly is the strongest force and the strongest magic.

At a singularity, space-time only exists in a moment of now. All laws of physics break down on the way into a singularity. Science actually doesn’t know what happens in the dead center of a singularity. We theorize that a black hole just leads to a white hole in another universe, but what happens at that perfect middle point? It’s no coincidence that the Anahata heart chakra is a tetrahedron (Star of David). This hexagonal pattern is the simplest geometry which creates vector equilibrium. It’s a pattern which creates a fractal on all scales of the universe demonstrating “as above, so below”. The reason why our singularity and our heart are important is because it is the balancer between the physical/emotional body and the spiritual body. Another hypothesis is that if all singularities go down to a small enough level of existence, then all singularities would have a quantum entanglement of data transfer and therefore imply that we all are One.

What this all means is simple. Love here and now. Not in the past, though those memories should still be treasured. Not in the future, though it is good to have faith and hope for a good outcome. Right now is when love happens and when it is truly felt. So do it from moment to moment, regardless of circumstances.

Stemming out from this singularity is the Throat chakra and the Solar Plexus chakra. These two are the ones funneling in on the tightened curvature of space-time. These are why they are both very powerful chakras. The Solar Plexus is known to be associated with power as it is the seat of the will which either observes or forges reality based on our perceptions or will. The Throat chakra is also very powerful because it contains the essence of vibration. Vibration is the key to movement through space or the assembly and disassembly of matter. Anything if vibrated at the right frequency will either begin to break apart or harmonize flawlessly.

The last pair remaining is the Sacral and the Third Eye. These two chakras are “storehouse” chakras. The Sacral chakra, also referred to as the Dan Tien, stores the Kundalini force and vital energy that is drawn from the base of the spine. Like water, it rests until told to move. The third eye and the mind’s purpose is to store all our memories and thoughts stemming from the Source. Navigating both of these chakras are similar in the aspect that there is much to explore in them because many things are stored there.

Complementary Colors

Red and Green: The bodies. Red is the basis of your physical body in all of its solid form. Green is the basis of your spiritual body in the aspect of your EM field energy. Both of them are the most basic forms of what you would call a “body”. One is physical but the other is spiritual. They also contrast in intent. Red is the energy for the physical body to sustain itself at all costs. Green is the energy of giving to others unconditionally. Therefore they are somewhat polar opposites in this fashion. Elemental attributes are also opposites being Earth and Wind.

Orange and Blue: The communicators of emotion and knowledge. Orange is the center for everything that we feel deeply with our emotions. Our throat chakra is associated with knowledge and our ability to rationalize and communicate. Both of these are communication chakras though. Our emotions communicate our primal energies while our throat chakra communicates the in-streaming of intelligent energy from our mind. Elemental attributes are Water and Ether. (Ether is similar to vibration and sound, both of which have been proven by Dr. Emoto’s research to affect the crystalline structure of water.)

Yellow and Violet: The will and the mind. These two are also very intricately linked. The will is used to direct the power of the mind. A distracted will, is a distracted mind. When focus is attained, one-pointedness of mind is attained. Both of these chakras are over-seers. The will is used to direct and control primal and emotional energy. The mind is used to direct and control intelligent energy. Elemental attributes are Fire and Light. Both of which give off light, but fire is the light of the personal ego, and the other is the true intelligent light energy of the Creator.
