The Cosmic Frog This book has the potential to be a lightning-strike through the ectoplasm of humanity for it rewrites

the founding stones of physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and psychology. This revolution of perception arises when we discover our solar system is a matterconsciousness ho!a gram created by the speed of light - a stunning act of awakening that reveals at last the footprints of the gods in the sands of "ternity# $ain %ntroduction &ou are now standing upon the threshold of an adventure for the chains are about to tall from the some of the greatest cosmic riddles of our age &ou are about to connect "instein to 'amanamaharshi, (lato to %ndian &oga, astronomy to astrology, the speed of light to the planetary orbits, the structure of the human psyche to the sound-tone nature of music, the fractal nature of the smallest frog to the conscious e)panse of the entire universe# *ow the initial form of this book has simply one ma+or ob+ective - it is to crack wide open the second medieval riddle of appearance, the appearance of consciousness arising from matter. %t is to take us collectively through an e)istential doorway, to prove that our universe is a construct of consciousness and not a peculiar aberration of comple) matter as taught by our modem science. %t is to pierce a riddle of appearance that has defeated the best western minds for thousands of years. This +ump in cosmic perception is also an imperative because we are now so technologically advanced - yet sc, emotionally and psychically bound - that we are in danger of becoming a human lemming-stream over an e)istential abyss. This book then repeatedly emphasises the ma+or points of the matter-consciousness debate - it uses them as hammer-blows to break open the toughest nuti *ow most of the philosophy of this book revolves around two simple images - the universe image and the consciousness image. ,on the ne)t pageThe main te)t of these pages has been e)tracted from the new book called The Cosmic Frog and it covers sucb topics as the matter!consciousness riddle, the two primal creation models, the panorama of the psyche, the game of life, the five primal chains of consciousness, the nature of wisdom-heart and the discovery of the holy grail. %t then covers the basic concepts of meditation, the structures of the two primal minds, the planetary vibration of the .chumman 'esonance and the /aia concept. Then it e)plores the fractal nature of our solar-system and reveals a simple mathematical proof of a vast ocean of sacred consciousness - ending forever the contracted perception that we are simply a peculiar algal growth on a planetary rock in a meaningless universe. Then, for those who still find they cannot accept the threads of thought running within The Cosmic Frog, or for those who would +ust like an introduction to the ma+or themes of this book - or for those who would +ust like a good giggle - then there is also the te)t e)tracted from the new book called 0offins and 0oofheads.

This book has been written in a satirical format so we apologise to the physicist (aul 1avies - winner of the Templeton pri2e for his contribution to scientific and religious thought - who was lucky enough, or unfortunate enough, to be selected as our parody of a village-idiot. 3opefully tis book will provide some serious thought upon the primal nature of matter and consciousness. The primal light and sound of us all. %t is time now to let the adventure begin, it is time to swing open the doors of the cosmos, it is time to behold the vast panoramas of the hidden-splendour. 4elcome then Cosmic Frog 5 C 6 Cosmic Frog %ntroduction 3ere are two riddles that have defeated the best minds of our age7 'iddle 8ne - The $ud and the Frog %n the middle-ages a group of scientists watched frogs crawling from the mud and believed mud was spontaneously turning into frogs, that matter was spontaneously creating consciousness. 3owever our modern science leaches us this process takes billions of years - with atoms +oining to form molecules, proteins, cells and comple) organisms through vast evolutionary periods. This modern perspective however does not change the basic medieval premise that mud creates frogs, that matter creates consciousness. %t still leaves us with the peculiar appearance of consciousness, of thinking rriud. .o how then does a cosmic bucket of mud create and sustain a comple) universe of consciousness9 3ow did it create you9 : 'iddle Two The *ature of $usic %t is part of human nature to en+oy music - we love its healing, soothing, e)citing, enchanting effects upon our body-minds - but why does music affect us in this way9 4hy is it so deeply entwined within the nature of our psyches9 The matter-consciousness hologram ;ets see f we can solve these two riddles of consciousness and music. 4e can begin with "insteins famous e<uation7 "=$C5

where " = energy, $ = matter, C = the speed of light This theory proposes the basis of matter is energy and the basis of energy is the speed of light. This infers then that matter-energy is a hologram created by the speed of fight# %t also raises a possibility. %s our entire universe a hologram of matter-consciousness created by the speed of light9 To e)plore this concept lets focus upon our tiny corner of the universe - our solar system > and see if we can perceive the underlying patterns. *ow firstly we can measure each planets distance from the sun in millions of kilometres. 4e can note that a kilometre is one thousand metres and that a metre is the distance light travels in a vacuum in +ust under one three hundred millionth of a second .econdly we can measure our musical vibrations in 32 ,3ert2-, or cycles per second of sound. ? Thirdly we can measure the vibrations of the psychic centres or chakras that appear upon the vertical column of the spine - also in 32 ,3ert2- or cydes per second of consciousness. 4e then get three tables of figures that look like this7 (lanet ,$@ms- $usic,32- and the ,no, of octaves The chakra bands of from the middle octave upon the piano$ercury ?A Cenus D6A "arth D?6 $ars 55A Gupiter HHA .aturn D:H6 0ase of spine 6-B6 E ,5 down- ??

Further, as we already know the planetary orbits are measures of the speed of light in units of distance we can now predict our musical vibrations are measures of the speed of light n units of sound. 4e can also predict the vibrations of the psychic centres upon the spine are measures of the speed of light in units of consciousness. This suggests that when we play music we are playing the musical structure of the solar system# %t also suggests that our solar system is directly creating the psyches that appear upon our planet earth

*ow these are stunning insights. 8ur solar system has become a matter-consciousness hologram created by the speed of light, a tiny fractal droplet reflecting the hidden nature of a vast ocean of universal matter-consciousness. 8ur universe has became the vast form of a conscious being with our body-minds of pure light now seen to be dwelling within immense dimensions of consciousness. 4e have discovered the footprints of the gods in the sands of "ternity# To see a world in a grain of sand End heaven in a flower To hold infinity in the palm of your hand End eternity nan hour###. 4.0take B The Cosmic Frog (art 8ne > the riddle ;ets begin with a medieval riddle that has defeated the finest minds of western science for hundreds of years. 3ere then is the riddle7 %n the middle ages a group of scientists called the spontaneous generation theorists went down to the swamps and watched frogs crawling out of the mud and concluded it is the nature of mud under certain conditions to spontaneously generate into frogs. 4e now know this is absurd. 4e know atoms +oin to form molecules, proteins, cells, organisms, plants and animals over vast evolutionary periods. %n other words it is the nature of mud over billions of years to create frogs. This is however only a change in time scale and is still an affirmation of muddism. *o matter how many twentieth century bells and whistles we use to obscure the situation - genes, chromosomes, laws such as natural selection - at the end of the day we are left with an immense structural problem7 how can a bucket of mud create and sustain a comple) universe of consciousness9 384 1%1 %T C'"ET" &8J9 *ow lets read a <uote by the physicist (aul 1avies as he stands upon the shoulders of scientific giants and attempts to e)plain the riddle. 3e is talking here about the ascent of consciousness from the primal matter of the cosmos, he is talking about the classic watchmakers argument, about the need for an intelligent designer for the universe. 4ell, you are absolutely right that this argument was demolished by 1arwins theory of evolution, because there is a very good mechanism - namely, variation and natural selection - that can produce the appearance of design even where there is no design. .o if you ask me about features, such as the human eye, which seems so well adapted to its purpose, % wouldnt have said that, as a specific entity, the eye is an e)ample of design. 4e can understand how, if you have an ensemble of competing organisms, and competing species, then that competition can lead to the emergence of very clever-looking organs. % accept that 1ar picture. %t seems (aul 1avies is intellectually satisfied that mud and the blind forces of evolution are responsible for the appearance of a comple) universe of consciousness, which infers human e)istence is simply a peculiar aberration of comple) chemistry,

an algal bloom on a planetary rock in a meaningless universe. 3owever if matter creates consciousness then of course it infers mud creates frogs. This in turn suggests frog poop creates frogs and the paint pigments of the $ona ;isa create 1a Cinci and the iron structure of the model T Ford creates 3enry# These conclusions are so absurd it is time we looked deeper into the riddle of the mud and frog. *ow we can suspect in the middle-ages they tried to solve the problem by probing the mud with sticks, looking for the essence of frog. %n the twenty-first century we too probe the mud seeking the source of the universe, e)cept we use particle accelerators and 3ubble telescopes. %n fact many scientists believe that if we could build a big enough particle accelerator we could deliver the head of god upon a plate. 3owever when we e)amine matter it becomes little more than a cosmic hallucination, a strange <uantum reality, a shimmering dream, a plume of smoke blown from the hookah pipe of a character from Elice in 4onderland# %t leaves us standing before an e)istential abyss of matter. H There is however a path through this abyss and there is a solution to the ndclle ot mater an consciousness. %t was created by the mystics of the 3imalayas at least five thousand years ago so lets follow in their footsteps and see if we can solve the dilemma of thinking mud - (erhaps as we do so we wilt +ourney across the terrain covered by philosophies such as (lato, Enimism, Tibetan 0uddhism, Len 0uddhism, %ndian yoga, western science and the heros +ourney of Goseph Campbe'. (erhaps we will also encounter fundamental scientific riddles such as consciousness arising from matter or comple) organs arising from the blind forces of evolution or the bewildering possibility of the unified field theory. (erhaps we will also ga2e across the universal panoramas desctibed by the following three men7 Firstly the scientist Elbert "instein7 E human being is part of the whole called by us the Jniverse. 4e e)perience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest > a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. 8ur task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace ad living creatures, and the whole of nature in its beauty. .econdly the mystic 'amanamaharshi7 Gust as water in a pot reflects the enormous sun within the narrow limits of the pot, so the vasanas or latent tendencies of the mind of the individual, acting as the reflecting medium, catch the all-pervading infinite light of consciousness arising from the heart. The form of this reflection is the phenomena called the mind. Thirdly the mystic *isargadatta7 %n the great mirror of consciousness images arise and disappear and only memory gives them continuity. End memory is material, distractible, perishable, transient. 8n such flimsy foundations we build a sense of a personal e)istence, vague, intermittent, dreamlike. This vague perception % am so and so obscures the changeless state of pure awareness and makes us believe we are born and suffer and die. (art Two - the four great elephant traps The riddle of matter and consciousness, of mud and frogs, is actually the second of the four primary riddles of appearance, riddles that are also known as the four great elephant traps of perception. They are called elephant traps because they are vast in

si2e, cosmic in dimension. *ow the first elephant trap states7 the earth is flat, the sun orbits the earth and the earth is the centre of the Jniverse. This riddle of appearance was historically solved by the ancient /reeks - "ratosthenes even calculated the appro)imate circumference of the earth using a differential of sun-shadows - yet the western intelligentsia struggled with this riddle for a further two thousand years, proving that knowledge never moves in straight lines. The second medieval riddle of appearance states7 matter creates consciousness. *ow if we assume space-time-gravity is simply a subtle form of matter then this leaves our universe with only two primal aspects > those of mailer and consciousness. %t also leaves us with only two primal creation models, the two mother lodes from which all the sciences and philosophies, mysticisms and religions are washed. Further, the two citation models are incredibly simple7 the matter model consists of only four wooden blocks while the consciousness model is merely a candle and a genies bottle filled with water. End the fact these two models are not commonly known is an act of criminal negligence# %n the four-block matter theory the first block is the space-time-gravitational vault, the second is primal matter. 4e can shrink these two blocks to a tiny point of nothingness and then e)plode them as the big bang creating the appearance of our universe. Elternatively, in the steady state theory, we can simply let them remain in their original form. The third construction block is the underlying physical laws such as the tendency to comple)ity and natural selection, inferring matter will combine into comple) molecules and be modified by 1arwinian evolution. The fourth block is the appearance of consciousness arising when matter reaches sufficient comple)ity which suggests consciousness is simply a hallucination created by chemical processes. These four blocks create the cosmic approach A of muddism and with four blocks we solve the basic nature of the universe, simply and sweetly. 8r do we9 Jnfortunately we are still left with the riddle of matter and consciousness, of thinking mud. %n fact this model leaves us with several dodgy conclusions. Firstly that the cosmos is simply an aberration of comple) matter. .econdly that the highest intelligence in the universe is a soup of swirling atoms. Thirdly that there is no god but mud and the law of natural selection is his only son. The consciousness theory however says the source of the universe is not matter but an "ternal dimension of pure ;ight shining into a vault of consciousness - a vault best described as a genies bottle containing the three dimensions of deep sleep, dream and waking. %t says within these dimensions our cosmos appears as a stream of images reflecting on a screen hidden in the dimension of deep sleep, suggesting the matter of our cosmos possesses no intrinsic intelligence but simply aligns itself on the hidden fields of consciousness +ust as iron filings align within a magnetic field. %t also proposes the universe is not infinite but that it is more like a magicians cloth of consciousness, woven of a precise set of powers. %n this way the essence of the consciousness theory looks like the following image7 ,see universe image*ow if we understand this creation model we can see the "ternal ;ight shining into the genies bottle creates the endless reflections of a comple) universe. %n this way the 8ne creates the many. Further, if we imagine a crystal inside the bottle, symbolising the personal se%f then the crystal mirrors the endless reflections of the whole so that

the personal contains within its tiny form the entire universal mind of consciousness affirming the ancient ma)im as above, so below. %n this way the consciousness theory proposes the universe is a citadel of consciousness, not an aberration of comple) matter and it suggests the primal mystical riddle of the universe has become how can the light of the personal self find the .un that ;ights Ell, yet cannot be seen9 %t is possible now to imagine we are standing upon the earths surface looking outwards into the reflected light of the cosmos appearing within the genies bottle of consciousness. 4e will then be bewildered by four great elephant traps of perception. Firstly it will appear the earth is flat, the sun is orbiting the earth and the earth is the centre of the universe. .econdly it will appear that matter creates consciousness. Thirdly it will appear the reflected light of the ego is separate from the surrounding universe. Fourthly it will appear the "ternal is simply the three dimensions of the genies bottle of consciousness. These four appearances suggest we must pierce the final three elephant traps to attain our "ternal nature. *ow this creation model of consciousness e)plains three great riddles of science. Firstly, how does matter create consciousness9 4e can now see matter does not create consciousness, it is consciousness that creates matter. .econdly, how do comple) organs arise from the blind forces of evolution9 4e can see comple) organs manifest because they are precise e)pressions of the hidden powers of consciousness. Thirdly, what is the unified field theory that "instein struggled to solve in the later part of his life9 4e can see the unified field theory is a signpost pointing to the fourth dimension of the "ternal, the source of all the disparate aspects of consciousness and matter. 4e can also look at this consciousness model in terms of seven of the worlds great philosophies. Firstly the ancient /reek (lato. 3e suggested all we perceive is simply a shadow play in a cave, a house of reflections, with the creating ;ight behind us. .econdly Enimism describes all things in the universe as having consciousness or spirit. 4e can see in the genies bottle model that this is so. Thirdly Tibetan 0uddhism and its description of the death process. The earth aspect returns to the water aspect, water to fire, fire to air, air into the darkness. Then one travels through the 'igpa. %f one has sufficient merit one passes through the transparent film into the /reat ;uminosity. The description of earth to ether is simp#y the reverse process of the creation chain of the big bang. I The 'igpa is mind, the waters of consciousness. The description of the transparent film is the vessel of the genies bottle. The /reat ;uminosity is the ;ight of the "ternal. Fourthly the teachings of Len 0uddhism. E goose is hatched within a botfte. %n time it grows. 3ow then does one release the goose without breaking the baffle9 This is a koan, a mystical riddle. The goose is the personal self growing in the womb of consciousness, seeking at last to merge into the "ternal. %-low can it accomplish this9 To do so it must recognise its pure nature was never imprisoned in the first place. The appearance of the self within the bottle is simply the reflected ;ight of the "ternal *ature. This recognition is the awakening.

Fifthly %ndian &oga and its description of the meditation process of deepening union, a process called the teaching of samadhi. Firstly one focuses ones self upon image or deity. Then in time the sense of self is lost only deity remains Then deity too is lost, there is simply void Then at last there is union with the 0eyond. ;et us go through this line by line. Firstly one focuses ones self upon image or deity. This is union with waking dimension Then in time the sense of self is lost, there is only deity. This is union with dream dimension. Then deity too is lost, there is simply void. This is union with deep sleep dimension. Then there is union with the 0eyond. This is the fourth dimension of the "ternal. .i)thly there is the heros +ourney of Goseph Campbell. %t is the progression from ego centred consciousness to the union with the divine. %t is the +ourney within the genies bottle. Finally 4estern science has discovered matter is not real in our usual perception, it is more like a multitude of particles, perhaps woven of superstdngs, in turn woven from eleven dimensions spun from a mathematical point of no-thingness. %n other words the universe becomes an appearance, an illusory rea#ity. (erhaps something within a genies bottle9 %n summary we can see this simple model of the "ternal .un and the reflected light within a genies bottle of consciousness e)plains some of the most comple) riddles of our age. Further, when we have discovered the basic ground of the universe is consciousness we can open the cosmic doors to the subtle realms of the psyche. (art Three the psycho ;et us imagine we can 2oom into the reflected light of the cosmos and then into the psyches of the embodied forms, opening them like fhwers. They will then look like the primal image of consciousness7 ,see consciousness image%f we look at this image we can see the body-psyche is like a magic tapestry of consciousness in which the personal game of life appears. This game appears because the human body is like a miniature genies bottle that we enter within our mothers womb. 4e enter this bottle through the fontanelle, the opening at the crown of the head as a plume of pure consciousness before we descend the spine until we reach wisdom-heart where we dwell awaiting our birth. Et birth we find ourselves cast in a great arc of psychic destiny, falling through the front of the heart in a descent to the feet, where we draw upon ourselves a shroud of forgetfulness, the dreaming nature of the persona# self. This act creates an individual +ourney, the ascent through the psychic centres suspended upon the spine until we eventually return to our remembrance at wisdom-heart. %n this way there is a chronology written upon the body > during eady childhood we psychically dwell at the feet, ankles, calvesM by the age of si) we have psychically reached the kneesM by ten or twelve we have reathed the pelvis and puberty. 4e must then ascend through the adult aspects of feeling on the lower abdomen, mind at the belly and ego structure at the liver to return to wisdom-heart. %t may seem peculiar to place the centre of mind at the belly but this is the source of the subtle mind impressions that eventually become our stream of thought. This is why stopping the breath stops the thought processes too. %f we understand this psychic panorama we can see that when we dwell beneath wisdom-heart we e)perience ourselves as a personal self e)isting in the fields of pleasure and pain, of life and death. 0ut when we dwell at wisdom-heart we e)perience ourselves as pure spirit, the state of % E$, a

D6 witnessing self no longer trapped in identity with the changing fields of consciousness, a self free trorn the tenacious clasp of the five primal chains of consciousness. The chains are forget$ness the loss into se)ual polarity, the entrapment at the woundings of childhood and se) and pride, the identity with personal mind and the dwelling beneath the ego structure at the liver. 4e can now look at some of the aspects of wisdom-heart, the profound meeting point of the psyche7 4e can see it is the place where we connect our feet and crown in one pure column of universal knowing so we are at last free from the +ourneys of becoming and can simply love what is. 4e can see it is the union point of the two inner se) streams so it is the psychic goal of our relationships. 4e can see it is the union point of the personal and universal minds so it is the doorway to meditation. 4e can see it is the place where the gift of sand of ego sense falls from the eyes and we can at last perceive the panorama of our divinity. 4e can see it is the place of clarity where we are free to walk in and out of the mirror of consciousness, the doorway between forgetfulness and remembrance. 4e can see it is the source of our wisdom, the hiding place of spirit in a cosmic game of hide and seek 4e can see it is the temple where the warrior lays down his sword to become the %amb of /od. 4e can see it is our sacred home in a sea of life and death. *ow if we understand this +ourney in consciousness we can seethe act of standing vertically has two aspects. Firstly to stand vertically in physical form, allowing the flowering of the brain-spinal stem. .econdly to stand vertically in consciousness, to rise from the ego centre at the liver until we dwell at wisdom-heart. %n this way we can see the holy grail of our myths is simply the spinal column of consciousness radiating its clear perception - our very nature has become the grail we have mythically sought. 4e have been travelling with the grail tied to our backs in a peculiar state of e)istential forgetfulness# Further, if we grasp this fundamental layout of the psyche we can understand the nature of meditation and the three basic sinidures of mind. The first structure is the personal mind. %t is connected to the thought centre of the brain, the breath centre of the diaphragm and the physical senses, especially the movement of the eyes. This personal mind has a fundamental inbreath-outbreath pulse of about fifteen cycles per minute and it moves in a hori2ontal direction, in the field of desire, fear and accumulated knowledge. %t is the feeling sense of D am mysetf. The second structure of mind is the brain-spinal stem which is also known as the cranio-sacral mind or wisdom-mind or vertical-mind or spirit-mind or universal-mind. This structure is pulsing softly at about 0 cycles per minute in a vertical direction, in the realm of now and presence. %t is connected to our eye of pure consciousness and to the feeling sense of %-E$.

This cranlo-sacral mind is profoundly connected to a planetary vibration called the .chumman 'esonance, a standing wave of electra-magnetic vibration of about A cycles per second that travels through the ionosphere surrounding the earth. This earth-ionosphere e)panse has been poetically called the mind of /ala, a planetary mind, with the .chumman 'esonance described as the earths heartbeat, a resonance that profoundly affects our human consciousness. %n this way stage? of our '"$ sleep. the level of our profound dreaming, is a vibration of H-I cycles per seconth Elso many hallucinogenic drugs create chemical vibrations in consciousness corresponding to A cycles per second so they have been used by shamans for connecting us to the gods. Elso many healers when they enter their stream of healing have been found to enter a brain-wave pattern of about 0 cycles per second. *ow if we understand these three minds, the personal, cranio-sacral and the planetary mind of /ala we can see our meditative states are times when the personal mind in separation, moving in a hori2ontal direction in time and space, unites with the vertical mind of the .pirit. DD %t is a place we can caJ stilipoint. 4hen we are centred within this vertical column at presence we live as if we are suspended upon a vertical thread so that even as we move outwards in time, interacting with the world, we remain continuously connected to our vertical presence. 4e are then merged within the rivers of our bliss and we dwell within our 2ones of magic. ;et us pause now to summarise this vast panorama of the universe and the psyche. %f we remember our image of the cosmos then we know the "ternal nature has two primal aspects - they are the "ternal ;ight and the clear translucent nature of the genies bottle which can also be described as the pure mirror of consciousness. The ocean of consciousness within the genies bottle also has two primal aspects - the reflected light of the personal self and the surrounding three dimensions of consciousness, the dimensions of deep sleep, dream and waking. 4hen our identity is merged with the personal self we e)perience ourselves dwelling within the ocean of life and death, of desire and fear, but when our identity is merged with the pure mirror of the genies bottle we e)perience ourselves as the witness - the state of# E$ > e)isting in a separate dimension to the changing fields of consciousness. %n this way it is possible to move from identity with the personal self to become the "ternal mirror untouched by the stain of the universe. To attain this transformation of perception we need to enter wisdom-heart space in full wakefulness. To do so we must throw the five primal chains of consciousness. They are forgetfulness, the loss into se)ual polarity, the entrapment at the woundings of childhood and se) and pride, the identity with personal mind and the dwelling beneath the ego structure at the liver. (art Four - the fractal nature of the universe ;et us turn our attention now to the structure of the solar system and see if we can find links between the speed of light, the precise distances of the planets from the sun, the sound-tone nature of music and the human psyche. 4e can begin with "insteins famous e<uation

"=$C5 This e<uation connects matter, energy and the speed of light > in fact it suggests that matter-energy is simply a hologram created by the speed of light# *ow the speed of tight in a vacuum is believed to be a universal constant of 5IIHI5,:?A metres a second. %n this way a metre is a precise measure of the speed of light > it is the length of the path traveled by light during a time interval of iust under DDF66 millionth of a second. *ow if we use this light measurement of metres we can measure the distances of the planetary orbits from the sun7 .olar system orbits7 $ercury - .0$kms ,$illion kmsCenus - l80$krns "arth - l $ars - 55 Gupiter - HHA$kms .aturn - l:H8$krns Jranus - 5 *eptune - :?

F ,three octaves up- - 5HIF32 ,The high vibrations of *eptune and (luto have become the musical silences of the heart and the soul.*ow this table suggests there is a profound link between each one mJlion kilometres of solar system distance and each one cycle per second in music. This suggests we have intuitively created our musical systems based upon the solar system orbits > upon the (ythagorean harmony of the spheres and it infers that when we play music we are playing the speed of light in the form of sound# 4e can also suggest the planetary orbits of our solar system are not only measured by the speed of light but that they are also created by the speed of light to reveal the hidden tapestries of the surrounding dimensions of consciousness. This suggests a possibility > if the speed of light creates not only the solar system orbits and our systems of music does it also create the conscious vibrations of the psyche9 1oes one m kilometres of solar system distance also correspond to one vibration per second in consciousness9 To e)plore this possibility we can begin with a study of the human body and the vertical column of the psychic centres or chakras. DF C3E@'E. 0eing ,throat- - purple ;ove ,heart- > blue "go ,liver- > green $ind ,stomach- > yellow Feeling ,abdomen- > orange Creation ,spine base- - red %t is easy to e)perience these chakras simply by tuning into our own psyches. %f we place a hand upon our (ower abdomen we can feel the swirl of our emotional nature, our gut feelings. %f we place a hand upon the navel area we can feel the source of our thought-mind so that if we hold our breath our thought-mind stops too. %f we place a hand upon the liver area, +ust below the heart, we can e)perience the realms of ego

structure > the primal sense of % am myself, the storehouse of pride and will, the psychic source of such sayings as she vented her spleen. %f we place a hand upon our heart we can feel a deep sense of love and care for all things. %f we place a hand upon our upper chest we can feel the realms of spiritual wisdom and pure being, our psychic realms of transcendence and incarnation. These chakras also mirror the creation se<uence of the big bang, the cosmic fireball creating the tapestry of our universe through the se<uence of ether-air-fire-waterearth. 4e can see this because the creation se<uence also appears upon the vertical column of the body as the etheric sound-vaults of the throat the air of the lungs, the gastric fire of the belly, the water of the bladder and the earth aspect of the bowels. The chakras also e)press the rainbow spectrum of the universe, creating a psychic coat of many colours and such sayings as % felt red with rage, green with envy, blue with sadness. The chakras, including the higher centres upon the forehead and crown, also mirror the polarity nature of the universe, e)pressed by the two hemispheres of the brain, the two eyes, the two lungs and the two poles of the se)ual nature. Ell these aspects of the chakras indicate the body is a holographic droplet of the surrounding universe. *ow we have discovered there is a mystic +ourney through these psychic centres so if we knew the vibration levels of each chakra we could measure the psychic distances we must travel as we ascend the vertical column of the spine. *ow science has proved matter begins to integrate and disintegrate when struck with a primal vibration of about H cycles per second > or H 3ert2 ,H32- - so we can suspect this vibration relates to the first chakra of creation and survival. 4e also know middle c of western music is 5?B32 so we can suspect this vibration will appro)imate our belly level of mind. 4e also know the universe is a play of consciousness so we can predict the realm of wisdom-heart will be +ust beyond the limits of our physical hearing - about DB66632. These vibrations suggest there is an e)ponential graph line running through the psychic centres so lets multiply each ascending chakra level by the primal base vibration of H - the same number of steps within a musical octave - to get an image that looks like this7 C3E@'E. 0eing ,throat centred- > DDH,B:I32 4isdom-heart ,heart centred- > DBA6H32 "go ,liver centred- > 5,:6D 32 $ind ,belly centred- > F:F32 Feeling ,abdomen centred- > :I32 Creation ,spine base centred- > H32 *ow this table of vibrations gives us the pure vibration-tones of the chakras but the chakras in reality e)ist as broad bands of overlapping vibration. This suggests the bands of wisdom-heart and -spirit- throat will be immense in si2e because of their vast transcendent nature so we can imagine the e)periential chakra bands will look like the table below7 D:

This suggests that one million kms of solar system distance corresponds to one 3ert2 vibration in consciousness so we can simplify our table to look like this7 (luto > ?, *eptune > :,?8:$kms!l-l2 Jranus > 5,AH8$kms%32 .aturn % ,:H8$kms!32 Gupiter > HHA$kms%32 $ars > 55 "arth> l.8$kms%%-l2 Cenus > l8 $ercury > ?A$kmsi32 4e can see before us now a beautiful table of synthronicity that reveals one of the great code structures of the universe. %n one simple set of figures we have connected the solar system orbits to the sound-tones of music and then to the tapestry of the psyche. The connections are simply irrefutable. They suggest the speed of light is not on#y profoundly linked to matter, energy, the structure of the solar system and the sound-structure of music but also to the nature of the psyches that appear upon the crucible of the earth. They suggest the cosmos is a matter-consciousness hologram created by the speed of light# They suggest the universe is not an empty wasteland of primal matter but that ft is the vast body of a conscious being# *ow we can see these are stunning revelations, they are treasures of immense significance and it seems we have discovered a higher octave of "insteins matterenergy-light theory so lets look deeper into these planetary appearances. *ow there is a profound mathematical se<uence called the fibonacci set of numbers, a mathematical structure that weaves many of the fundamental forms upon planet earth. "ach fibonacci se<uence says7 in any given se<uence, after the first two numbers, the ne)t number will always be the sum of the previous two numbers. .o a basic fibonacci se<uence would be D D, 5, F, ?, A, DF, 5D, F:, ??, AI.... ;et us now look at the first four planets and their orbits7 $ercury ,?0$kms-, Cenus , "arth ,l.8$kms- and $ars ,55.$kms-.

4e can see there is a fibonacci se<uence hidden within these orbits. ;et us imagine a pure fibonacci se<uence of numbers could be ?6, ?6, D66, D?6, 5?6. ;etthe sun represent the first number and we have ?6, D66, D?6, 5?6. *ow if we remember that each planet is rotating within a band of consciousness then the fact the radii of the first four planets are ?A, D6B, D?6, 55A million kilometres still indicates a fibonacci se<uence. ;et us now continue on through the solar system. The ne)t planet is Gupiter, the midway point of the mystic +ourney #f we remember the mystical theory of creation then Gupiter is depicted as the teacher of harmony, the doorway to the higher creation octave of the universe. *ow according to the fibonacci system the ne)t planet after $ars should be ?6, D66, D?6, 5?6, :6 - that is Gupiter should be :66$kms from the sun. 3owever Gupiter is HHA$kms from the sun > it is double the e)pected distance# The universe is no longer a simple child skipping-game, the natural cosmic step is missing. 0ut if we look in the area where this mythical planet should be we discover the ma+or asteroid heft of the solar system, orbiting at a distance of F66-e88$kms from the sun. %t is estimated the bulk of these asteroids combined would create a planet about the si2e of our moon so perhaps they are the remains of a planetary body that never formed beyond the foetal stage - or perhaps the universe is +ust trying to make our solar system-psychic +ourney a little more intriguing# 4hatever the reason for the missing planet we can assume : will have profound effects upon the psyches of the earths life forms and if we remember our psychic ascent of the spine then we know the most dtfficult step in the human +ourney is to rise from the ego-centred consciousness of the liver to attain wisdom-heart. $illions of people attempt this +ourney but very few succeed, usually through the energy presence of a teacher or the efforts of a collective of people or simply a lightning stdke of grace. %n this way the missing cosmic step creates the solar system appearance we dwell in an empty DB void of matter, a realm of cosmic estrangement and it e)plains why the mystic +ourney re<uires supreme acts of faith and prayer and the still witnessing of medftation. 3owever if we do attain the Gupiterian levels of about .88$kms!32 it is easy to see we begin a new set of fibonacci numbers. %f we remember a pure flbonacd se<uence would be A66, A66, DB66, 5:66, :666, B:66. Egain, let the sun represent the first number and we have A66, DB66, 5:66, :666, B:66. The actual solar system se<uences of Gupiter and the ne)t four planets are Gupiter ,HH0$kms-, .aturn , Jranus ,50H8$kms-, *eptune ,:?8:$kms- and (luto ,?IlF$kms-. .o lets take a deep breath and contemplate this panorama of solar system mind for these two stunningly simple sets of flbonacd numbers suggest the cosmos is being created by the speed of light as an e)pression of an underlying fractal - a geometric

shape that can be endlessly divided with each part becoming the same form as the whole. %t is suggesting the frog in our backyard pond is not simply a frog but that it is also a perfect mirror of the cosmic mind# %t means that hidden within these simple figures of solar system orbits and psychic vibrations we have found a mathematical proof that we are children of the cosmos. 4e have discovered the footprints of the /ods in the sands of "ternity# *ow is there a way we can understand these appearances9 Firstly we can use the ancient image of a man who enters a magic cavern holding aloft a flaming torch. Es he wanders the catacombs its flickering light reveals a procession of images etched upon the cavern walls. Es the light of his torch falls upon the images they awaken to become realities of dream so enchanting that he is lost within their realms of e)istence and forgets he is simply the witness of all that unfolds. %n this model the images of consciousness lie as latent realities in the darkness and it is his flickering light that creates a ray of creation across the hidden tapestries. %n this way is it possible that our sun, +ust like the man with the lamp, is creating beams of ight that are passing over hidden images in the darkness and encoding themselves as holograms of matterconsciousness9 4e can also look at this panorama of light from the perspective of the mystic creation model that says the universe is a vault of consciousness woven of the three dimensions of deep sleep, dream and waking. #t also says that within the dimension of deep sleep there dwells a reflecting screen woven of five vast powers that form the pure storehouse of all the potential universes of consciousness > all the hidden tapestries of form, mathematics, symbol, knowledge, language and thought. %n this way they are known mythically as the scales of the dragon for whatever beam of coded light falls upon them wi## be created upon their shimmering dragon-nature as realities in the dimensions of consciousness. %n this way is it possible that our sun and the solar system and the myriad stars have appeared as reflected lights upon the scales of the dragon9 ;ets stand now on our psychic mountaintop and draw our final conclusions together. Firstly we have discovered a golden set of numbers that are like rare +ewels in creation. The numbers are ?A, D6A, D?6, 55A, HHA, D:H6, 5AH6, :?6: and ?IDF. These numbers are so fluid they can measure solar system orbits in millions of kilornetres or sound-tones of music in cycles per second or vibrations of consciousness in cycles per second. The numbers are the profound e)pressions of a cosmos that is a matterconscious hologram created by the speed of light within the vast vaults of consciousness. They mean our solar system isa ray of conscious creation reflecting the structure of a cosmic mind, suggesting the universe has a fractal nature endlessly mirroring itself from the vast panoramas of the gala)ies all the way down to the tiniest levels of personal e)istenca %n this way the psyches of the embodied forms are precise, coherent and mathematical models of the surrounding cosmos. %t also suggests our universe is a magic reflection occurring within the three dimensions of deep sleep dream and waking, three oceans that are bound by the pure glass or mirror of the genies bottle of consciousness. This infers that when we complete our individual ray of creation we will awaken from the dream of the moving ray of light to become the pure mirror of consciousness in which all the dreams of life and death arise and disappear. %t is then we will discover the movement of DH

our holographic light-body-mind was simply the movement of a token on a universal board-game of consdousness and that our "ternal nature only entered the dimensions of the genies bottle through the empathic power of identity 4e will then have answered the implicit <uestion that lies hidden at the core of our being7 4ho are we when the universe no longer e)ists9 To conclude, we have taken the simple medieval riddle of the mud and frog and used ft as a master key to open the vaults of a speed of light cosmos appearing within vast oceans of consciousness. %n doing so we achieve an immense act of awakening, a momentous step into the heart of our collective wisdom 4e enter the inner sanctum of the Cosmic Frog. DA 0offins and 0oofheads (art 8ne The 8demma ;et us go on a +ourney through the big <uestions, through the nature of the universe, the psyche and the game of life. %t is a +ourney that inevilably leads us to the four fundamental riddles of universal appearance - riddles that are also @nown as the four great elephant traps because they are vast in si2e, cosmic in dimension. 4hen entering them our first response is often to simply say what elephant trap# %t is only when we discover ourselves limited by vast walls and mired neck deep in elephant dung that we say in disbelief 1uh% This is an elephant trap# *ow the first elephant trap, the first riddle of appearance states7 the earth is flat, the sun orbits the earth and the earth is the centre of the Jniverse. %t is a riddle that initially does not appear to be a riddle - it appears to be something even a complete idiot would accept as an irrefutable truth. This is why the first law of the universe should always be beware of the bleedingly obvious. Jnfortunately the western intelligentsia taught this flat earth perception for thousands of years and it echoed through the hallways of every school of learning worthy of a dodgy grant. 3owever unless youve been asleep for the last four hundred years, or recently dug out of the .iberian permafrost, this riddle should not give you too much trouble. %n fact any four-year-old munching his breakfast cereal can tell you the answer 4e usually believe this flat earth riddle was solved in the seventeenth century when /alelia nailed a couple of beer glasses together and made his first telescope 4e know he then performed a few <uick observations, e)perienced his flash of cosmic illumination and headed down to the market place to pronounce the earth was round. Jnfortunately the local religious punters were deeply unimpressed with this concPu?D6n so he was soon perilously close to being rotisserie in the town-s<uare with an apple clenched between his teeth > a cooking process that with hindsight may have helped him to deduce the falling apple theorem a good fifty years before *ewton, The flat earth riddle however was initially solved two thousand five hundred years ago in ancient /reect %t was around this time (ythagoras, seeing a round sun and a

round moon, reasoned the earth was probably round too Eristotle saw the circular shadow of the earth appear upon the moon during eclipses so he was ready to bet his last bag of goat cheese on a round earth. 3e even calculated the rough radiu9 of the earth and was only out by a factor of two > course if hed calculated the e)act radius he would have been spot on. Eristotle however was considered too bright for the 9ver9ge punter to consider a bet, especially with anything as valuable as goat cheese, so he was left to lament his birth amidst a crowd of intellectual pygmies. 3owever the sharpest dude around town in those days was a bloke called "ratosthenes. This guy had a prodigious intellect, his 6 looked like a ;ondon telephone number, looked like the number of dollar bills 0ill /ates stuffs in the back of his limo when hes going out for a sandwich, +ust in case he needs a bit of read9. %ndeed "ratosthenes was faster than a whippet on go-+uice, faster even than an "ratosthenes up a drainpipe. "ratosthenes knew of a small camel-stop called .yene. 3e had heard there was a well there in which the midday sun at a certain time of year cast no shadow. This gave "ratosthenes an idea. 3e figured that because the earth was round the sun wouldnt be as high in Ele) at the same time as it was at .yene. This differential of shadows meant he could calculate the circumference of the earth with only a <uick charcoal sketch on an old parchment left lying on the floor of the chariot shed. .o while "ratosthenes loitered in Ele)andria with a couple of blondes and a fine wine he organised a chain of punters to stand on hilltops all the way to .yene. 4hen the sun was high there they sent a signal to each other, all the way back to Ele)andria, signalling by selling fire to their shoes and throwing them in the air. Course the punters werent that happy when they got back to Ele)andria, what with their blistered feet and all, but hey, this is sdencel "ratosthenes then measured the time interva# that passed before the wells of Ele)andria also cast their minimum shadow. DI That night, with smoke pouring off his abacus, he calculated the circumference of the earth was fifty times the distance between Ele)andria and .yene, which worked out at :B?66 kilometres, which is remarkably close to our present figure of :6,6H? kilornetres. The error was traced to the bloke "ratosthenes had hired to leg it to .yene to measure the distance between the two cities. 3e was using a couple of measuring sandals tied to a wheel but as there is an e)cellent pub about two hundred kilometres short of .yene the rogue had thought to himself stuff it, %ll guess the last bit. E couple of hundred years alter "ratosthenes a chap by the name of (tolemy spent a few years loitering in the #ibi-aries of Ele)andria slowly compiling an eight volume geography of the known world, all based on the premise the earth was round. .o all in all we had the basic cosmic picture completely figured out but somehow, perhaps due to a couple of kegs of industrial strength wine, a great collective shadow of forgetfulness rolled across our psyches. %n this way, by the time the c ages were finishing in "urope the average punter was too scared to go more than two kilometres off shore, +ust in case he fell off the edge of the earth, 4hat does all this prove9 %t proves knowledge does not travel in straight lines and it seems we can have a flash of understanding followed by a couple of millennia of absolute first-class stupidity. 4e are lucky then that /alileo, while craw on his hands and knees across the floor of an

%talian pub, noticed the peculiar reflections in a couple of dropped beer glasses and hey, the rest is histoiy Cet with hindsight it is a wonder the intelligentsia got it so wrong for so long. % mean were not talking about a bit of gibberish here during a bout of dysentery, were talking about the finest minds working for thousands of years and still stuffing it up. % mean they had a s<uillion peasants doing the hard yards for them so they could +ust sit around and contemplate the universal panorama yet still they couldnt get it. 4e can only assume they must have had their snouts in barrels of vintage pro2ac. % mean surely it is obvious. The sun and moon are round and up in the air. % mean what holds them up9 4e can see the curves of eclipses, the curve of the ocean on the hori2on, the rotation of stars. % mean Qidnt somebody in some wine-soaked moment spot the shadow of a lantern era candle on a wall and realise it looks +ust like the appearance of an ecflpse. Then stumble around and collect three lanterns to represent the sun, earth and moon, rotating them to the universal appearance we see every day. % mean were not talking rocket science here# Gust what was the intelligentsia doing for two thousand years apart from stuffing gold coins from research grants into sacks so they could take the missus on an e)tended holiday9 %t is impossible not to grasp the earth is round. Eny other solution re<uires such a comple) yoga position of the psyche the head ends up trapped in the confined space of a certain dark orifice. %magine if "ratosthenes had turned up when /alileo was still a nipper, still dribbling and trying to figure out which way was up. "ratosthenes would have lain in the spittoons of the local pubs roaring with laughter. 3e would never of believed what he was hearing as he listened to the professors of the local university discussing the attributes of the flat earth - pondering how many turtles held the whole place up, +ust how far down they went and what happened when one of them popped out to splash the boots *ow the swirling winds of the ghost of "ratosthenes always turn up whenever we are doing some pitifully, painfully, e)istentially stupid and in our present times, the beginning of the twenty-first century, his shadow is all around us as we approach the second of the four great riddles of appearance. The second riddle of appearance states7 matters consciousnest Egain we can see the mark of a good riddle is that at first it does not appear to be a riddle - it appears to be simply a statement of obvious fact. 3istorically some of the great proponents of this matters consciousness theory were a middle-ages group of scientists called the spontaneous generation theorists. 8n dark moonlit nights they used to put on their gumboots and silly walk themselves down to the local swamp for a bit of rigid empirical scientific observation. %t was there they spotted frogs crawling out of the mud and with cries of e)ultation and prolific backs#apping they wrote down it is the nature of mud under certain conditions to spontaneously generate into a frog. 4e now know this is absurd. 4e have had the benefit of some of the greatest minds working for a further four hundred years. 4e now know atoms +oin to form molecules, proteins, cells, organisms, plants and animals over vast evolutionary periods. 4e have learnt mud s frogs over billions of years. This is however only a change in time-scale and is still an affirmation of muddisrm *o matter how many twentieth-c bells and whistles we use to obscure the situation, such as genes, chromosomes, laws such as natural selection, at the end of the day we are left with an immense structural problem. 3ow can a bucket of mud and sustain a comple) universe of consciousness9

56 4ith the benefit of hindsight we can see the spontaneous generation theorists - in tandem with their drinking mates the flat earthers - managed to successfully make a couple of howling errors, even though they were using pure scientific observaJon. Firstly the flat earthers, even though every day they watched the sun rise over the hori2on and pass across the sky - proving the irrefutable truth the sun orbits the earth - still they managed to end up covered in elephant-dung - Their statement the earth is f the sun orbits the earth and the earth is the centre of the universe was of course a profound and elegant statement in the middle-ages but in our modem era its last proponent lies in a strait+acket, rolling frothing in an asylum for the criminally insane .econdly the muddist statement it is the nature of mud under certain conditions to spontaneously generate into a fm has also been cast into the dustbin of history, 4e have managed to modify this medieval statement to it is the nature of mud over billions of years of evolution to frogs. 4e have considered this a revelation. %n the tiny ramshackle hut of human knowledge *obel laureates have nodded sagely at this modem statement. They have raised their wineglasses in acts of profound honour. They have given themselves great awards for rigorous scientific endeavour, wrapping themselves in cloaks of hubris, toasting themselves beneath gilt-edged signs stating there is no god but mud and the law of natural selection is his ori: son %n fact modem cosmic science is so confident of its conclusions it now says there are only two primal <uestions left to answer. They are firstly how d mud arise and secondly how will it end9 8f course they admit there are a few minor perturbances but these are considered to be mere triflings, a few things to be sorted out and crushed beneath the bulldo2er of science. Jnfortunately as "ratosthenes surveys this state of scientific mind he ends up rolling in the ghostly ether clutching his sides in hysterical laughter. 3e considers these revelations to be the intellectual leaps of a one-legged gnat - for if matters consciousness it natura infers mud s frogs and if mud s frogs then it naturally infers frog poop R frogs. Further if frog poop ? frogs then obviously donkey dribble ? the donkey and the paint pigments of the $ona ;isa % CincD and the iron structure of the model T Ford . 3enry. These flat earth conclusions are so absurd it is a miracle anyone can promote this peculiar approach of muddism. "ven blind Fredd in a state of collapse from his third lobotomy could suspect the conclusion the mud did it was +ust an appearance. "ven Freddy, clutching his throbbing head, could perhaps predict consciousness is the real basis of our universe despite the appearance to our physical senses. %ndeed these muddist conclusions have left us in a ridiculous situation. The greatest scientific minds of our age can be defeated simply by holding up a plastic frog and bucket and asking how can a bucket of mud and sustain a comple) universe of consciousneNs %t is not a popular <uestion, %f you want to get thrown out of the annual science ball, if you want the dogs of reductionism set upon you +ust turn up in your dinner suit and ask this <uestion. %t is not going to get you on the science christmas-card list, it is not going to get you a free ticket to the trough of champagne and the bucket of hordourves. %nstead they will greet you with all The warmth they give the proverbial rat at the dinner table and you will be perceived as some peculiar creature cluttering up the dance floor with your plastic bucket and frog.

Then they will get rally because no gathering steeped in hubris likes a smart arse, no (lato likes a 3eraclitus snapping around his heels, so there will be swift calls for several large gentlemen in dark sufls. Then you and your frog will be deposited in the nearest alley full of rubbish bins for you will have asked the great taboo <uestion in the temple of the muddists. The <uestion that upsets the scientific mantra, the somnambulist drone that has echoed for hundreds of years, luring almost all into resonance with its into)icating beat. %t is the mantra that matters consciousness. 0ut whether denied or indulged this riddle remains at the foundations of our technological colossus. %t shimmers in the waters of our scientific glit2, teasing, taunting and haunting. "very scientific discipline mills in bewilderment before the concept of consciousness. Ell the naked emperors of physics and biology and chemistry, every discipline lies defeated. "ven though we live in an age of miracles and wonder, amidst the smoke and mirrors of our science, when it all evaporates we are left standing before this medieval riddle of matter and consciousness, of mud and frogs. 3owever my fearless punters do not furrow thy brow because the riddle is not as difficult as it first appears. %n fact it was solved by the mystics of the himalayas at least five thousand years ago. Further, by saying five thousand years, we are +ust insulting them. %t was probably solved much, much, much before that. They solved it because they had plenty of time. They had no telly in the cave, the golf club hadnt been invented yet so they had nothing to do but sit around and watch the ocean of consciousness, the 5D source of the mind that perceives the appearance of our cosmos. Then once they broke through the primal appearance of matter and consciousness they discovered it was only a +iffy before they could map the e)panses of the hidden labyrinths and return to the creative source. ;ets pause here for a moment and see if we can grasp our current situation. The flat earth dilemma was solved in /reece two thousand five hundred years ago yet we didnt rethscover it until the middle-ages. Further the dilemmas of matter and consciousness were solved in the himalayas five thousand years ago, yet now, in the twenty-first century we are still bewildered. This is embarrassing. "ratosthenes is going to be wetting himself with laughter and theres nothing worse than being insulted by an ancient /reek. This laughter of "ratosthenes is gOing to become unbearable if we have to wait another five thousand years for a new /alelio and a beer glass revelation so perhaps its time we had another look at this riddle of matter and consciousness. (erhaps its time we pulled our minds out of the darkness of a medieval lens of perception. %n doing so we may discover we are part of something vast and profound, a universe of meaning, direction, discovery. E hidden splendour may be awaiting us, the vast e)panses of the citadels of consciousness. To assist us with this change in perception lets look at our cosmic panorama from the perspective of four famous men, two of science and two of mysticism. 0ut before we meet our first scientist let us remember that every good story needs someone to play the adversary, the black knight - %n our particular case we need an idiot. 4e need a first class magnifico all the fruit shrimp short of a barby clown. .omeone not only naturally talented as an idiot but also someone who has spent a lifetime pursuing

its craft in some of the finest universities of the world. .o when (aul 1avies, our first scientist, stumbled past on his donkey, forcing "ratosthenes to double up with laughter, well sheesh, % knew we had our chump. %t was +ust all too hard to resist, (aul 0oor 1avies is not only an eminent physicist, author of such books as where to get a beer in the first three seconds after the big bang but he has also won the Templeton pri2e for his contribution to scientific and religious thought. This pri2e comes with a couple of million in readies, an admirable sum, allowing him to purchase sufficient gunpowder to blow away any pesky frogs of consciousness foolish enough to wander onto his Eustralian property. 4ith this pedigree we could suspect he was the full bottle on the nature of matter and consciousness but on closer inspection we discover this is not the case. %ndeed, if he was any brighter, we could +ust about get him a +ob as a hamster in the .ydney 2oo. %m about to take the mickey out of the myopic view of 0oof. %ts nothing personal, % mean %d be happy to play a game of golf with him, although % imagine as %m trying to line up that tricky ninety-five metre wedge shot while waist deep in the piranha pond, hell start dribbling - dribbling that ninety-five is ten to the power of nine of the fourth root of the turd s<uare times the seventh cube of cosmic garbage whistbng down the average neighbourhood black hole in a typical nano second. 8r perhaps gibbering that it is the e)act number of gonsabit millimetres across the average @lingons scrotum, a constant whining that would probably get a bit tedious after a while. 0ut lets read something 0oot wrote one morning after he had wandered into his backyard and contemplated the nature of algal blooms evolving into frogs, especially the frog that had urinated on his foot. *ow % dont know if frog urine is a hallucinogen as it evaporates slowly in the morning sun but % think it inspired 0oot to write the following <uote, taken from his book The 0ig Ouestions. 3e is talking here about the classic watchmakers argument, about the need for an intelligent designer for the universe. 4ell, you are absolutely right that this argument was demolished by 1arwins theory of evolution, because there is a very good mechanism - namely, variation and natural selection - that can produce the appearance of design even where there is no design. .o if you ask me about features, such as the human eye, which seems so well adapted to its purpose, % wouldnt have said that, as a specific entity, the eye is an e)ample of design. 4e can understand how, if you have an ensemble of competing organisms, and competing species, then that competition can lead to the emergence of very clever-looking organs. % accept that 1arwinian picture. % suspect some of you are probably now thinking what the heck is the scribe on about9 0oors statement is perfectly reasonable, youd be a nutter to think anything else. %n fact the earth is flat and matters consciousness are two of the most eminently reasonable statements you will ever hear but when "ratosthenes read 0oors <uote he laughed so hard his false teeth clamped onto his tonsils and had to be surgically removed. 55 % am sure all of us at some time have stood in awe betore the suolime nature ot tne numan eye, stooa transfi)ed in wonder before its almost magical comple)ity. 3owever suspect few of us have then thought how ama2ing, a bucket of evo$ng mud designed that. E competitive bucket that -slapped itself then yelled heres mud in your eye bow#

%ndeed % suspect only 0oof and his cronies could have come to this particular conclusion "mbarrassingly % suspect this statement of 0oors wifi soon become an all time classic. %t will be mounted on wal# pla<ues and hung for several millennia as proof of the pandemic of idiocy that afflicted the twenty-first century. %t is not hard however to see 0oo9 s mind-set. %n the midde-ages scientists hunched over buckets of mud trying to understand how frogs seemed to spontaneously arise from the depths. Et the time they probably assumed that if they could find a big enough stick they could e)tract the essence of frog from the mud. *ow in the twentyfirst century 0oof and his cronies also peer intently at mud, e)cept their big stick has evolved into a particle accelerator and a 3ubble telescope. They too are trying to understand how frogs arise from the mud. %n this way, in terms of our state of mind, we have not taken a single step. There has been no <uantum +ump in perception. %n fact it seems the medieval spontaneous generation theorists never disappeared at all. They simply traded their horse and carts in for stretch limos and drove around the back of ;os Elamos so they could start knocking up their new big sticks, their flash new g#eaming particle accelerators and telescopes, convinced they would soon be delivering the heed of god upon a plate. *ow this is mind-numbing stuff. Ere we collectively insane9 %s it possible that a group of the finest minds on our planet can coherently argue a bucket of mud is the source of our universe of consciousness9 "ven a hamster suffering dementia would feel insulted. 4hat on earth is passing through the dark recesses of 0oors head9 %t seems 3oof considers frogs are a recent evolution. This means in the search far the universal source he can simply toss them away as an irrelevance or preferably put a couple of cannon balls into them +ust in case they prove to be a trifle irritating. Then with consciousness safely erased from the picture he can at last get serious with a space-time-gravitational vault and a bucket of mud. 0oot is absolutely enchanted with this approach. 3e believes that if he can analyse the mud stuck between his toes with suffldent intensity he will understand the totality of the universe, including his psyche. 3e believes he can grasp the muddist holy grail of the theory of everything, earning a round of applause from the chimps hanging from the rooftops of the scientific temples. 0oof is not alone in this approach. 3e is one of a huge number of scientists who ding to this universal method, who every day munch down the tales of the absurd yet never suffer indigestion, +ust like all those medieval scientists who never found the idea of a flat earth a peculiar perception. 0oats voice is certainly not a solitary one. &ou will hear it merged with a vast celestial chorus, a cacophony of sound, a tsunami of decibels on every tv on every radio, in every mainstream newspaper. "choed in the hope that a lie repeated three times will become a tn+th %t is however an embarrassing state of consciousness. %ndeed history will eventually portray us as barbarians. Es those who shrank the e)panse of consciousness down to the state of an algal bloom on a planetary rock in a meaningless universe. Es those who stole the destinies of generations, who left the young with no metaphysical framework honouring their e)istence, who became the thieves of the sacred. %n this way we live in an age where the absurd has been digested until every cell vibrates with absurdity, an age where the whole populace has drunk from the poisoned welt of rnuddism so that even the court +ester will be forced to drink, simply to save his

sanity. %ndeed it is possible to destroy an entire planet with a scientific approach like this. % mean has anybody bothered to look out the window lately9 %t is ridiculous this state of mind still holds us in captivity. For how many more centuries will we be content to stand in this swamp of muddism9 %ndeed perhaps it is time we started to stir in our slumber, time we began to hasten our awakening. 0ut before we do so, before we open into the vistas of consciousness, perhaps we should warn 0oof to protect his head. To bury it deeper in the mud, +ust in case he ends up in hospital with his eyes bandaged from cosmic welders flash. .o let us now move to our second scientist, "instein, who was at least bright enough to dawn the third riddle of universal appearance. 0right enough to raise his eyes and stagger before its bewildering nature. The third riddle of appearance states7 the ego is separate from the surrounding universe. "instein wrote7 E human being is part of the whole called by us the Jniverse. 4e e)perience ourselves, 5F our thoughts and feelings as something separated trom the rest > a ina ci optical aeiusion or consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. 8ur task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, and the whole of nature in its beauty. *ow while we contemplate these thoughts of "instein lets do something really scary, something that 4ill have 0oof whimpering in the cellars of muddism. ;ets read a couple of <uotes from two mystics who stand beyond the fourth universal riddle of appearance. E riddle that states7 the "ternal is simply the waters of consciousness. Firstly 'amanamaharshi Gust as water in a pot reflects the enormous sun within the narrow limits of the pot, so the vasanas or latent tendencies of the mind of the individual, acting as the reflecting medium, catch the all-pervading infinite light of consciousness arising from the heart. The form of this reflection is the phenomena called the mind. End now *isargadatta7 %n the great mirror of consciousness images arise and disappear and only memory gives them continuity. End memory is material, distractible, perishable, transient. 8n such flimsy foundations we build a sense of a personal e)istence, vague, intermittent, dreamlike. This vague perception % am so and so obscures the changeless state of pure awareness and makes us believe we are born and suffer and die. 4ith these mystical <uotes we can begin to dawn the immensity of a new perception, a vast panorama arising when the riddle of mailer and consciousness is pierced. Further, we can begin to sense the contracted nature of the rnuddist perspective, which now appears to be almost a pathology. 0ut let us return to 0eef and the frog pond. *ow our current scientific thought assumes consciousness only arises after billions of years of evolution, when matter has reached sufficient comple)ity. 3owever when we e)amine matter it becomes little more than a cosmic hallucination, a strange <uantum reality where we can no longer predict the nature of particles, including their energy, position and time. "instein acknowledged this nature but refusing to believe the appearance he sought in the later part of his life for a unified field theory, a theory that would unite all the forces of the

cosmos into one harmony. %t was a searth that consumed the later part of his life, without success. "insteins failure has left 0oof and his cronies standing before a great panorama, a veritable witchcraft of superstsings, a myriad of strange particles, leaving poor 0oof in a state of derangement. There is however an image we can use to illustrate 0oo9 s situation. There was once a man who e)ercised his dog while sitting in a chair by shining a torch beam on the back fence. The dog would then run backwards and forwards chasing the reflected point of light. *ow we can suspect the dog, being a great physicist, was always thinking to himself now according to 3eisenbergs uncertainty principle % cannot predict where the spot of light will appear ne)t. (erhaps too our great physicists are simply the dogs of science chasing phantom lights moving on a great mirror of consciousness9 Jnfortunately 0oot and his cronies recoil in horror from this possibility, clinging to each other and the belief that matters consciousness. %n fact 0oof is personally convinced life on earth turned up on a meteorite from mars, so when a meteorite is discovered in a rubbish tip somewhere the area will have to be sealed off while 0oof goes down for a bonding session with his dadl however, in the meantime, 0oot is left standing mesmerised before three of his greatest scientific <uestions. Firstly how does consciousness arise from matter9 .econdly if the universe is woven from random chance then how do comple) organs such as eyes and ears evolve9 Thirdly what would the unified field theory look like9 These are indeed superb <uestions but they only arise because of an error of perception. They arise because 0oof, being the thump that he is, has decided to +ourney into the universal catacombs, wandering by the light of the lamp of mind. *ow the lamp of mind soon reveals the first science, that of the large5: scale structure of the universe. %t also reveals the second science, that of the smallscale molecular ever within. From a synthesis of these two sciences 'oof e)citedly assumes a <uantum-gravitational theory will become a theory of everything - 3e assumes this because he believes comple) matters consciousness, that consciousness is simply a hallucination in a vast theatre of matter. %n doing so he makes a fundamental error, an error of staggering proportions, an error as flawed as the flat earth mode# of the cosmos. 'oof, in an act of sheer bril# has forgotten the self that holds the amp of mind aloft. 3e has forgotten the dimensions of consciousness that the lamp, the nature of matter and the void beyond. %t is an error of perception mystically described for thousands of years so surely it is time we awoke from this serpent-like clasp of perception. .urely it is time we cast this matter model of the universe into the dustbin, time we found a whole new way of perceiving matter and consciousness, but what could it be9 Fortunately for 'oof we do not need to reinvent the wheel The model we seek has been depicted for at least five thousand years. 4e need only to pull back a small veil of historical forgetfulness. .o lets pour 0oof a strong whisky and prepare him for a new cosmic model. E model that solves the matter- consciousness riddles in the same way the round earth model

erased the dilemmas of a flat earth. This new model is also simple. %t is a model even a hamster suffering a migraine can get his teeth around. (erhaps it is even a model that can strike a light in the dark recesses of 0oots brain. Elthough obviously, nobody will be holding their breath (art 5 > Creation Theories *ow assuming we call the space-time-gravitational vault a form of matter then there are only two primal aspects to our known universe. They are matter and consciousness %t is not surprising then that there are only two primal creation theories, one of matter and one of consciousness. They are the two mother odes from which all the sciences and philosophies, mysticisms and religions are washec; Further the two models are in essence incredibly simple7 the matter model consists of only four wooden blocks while the consciousness model is merely a candle and a genies bottle filled with water. End the fact these two models are not commonly known is an act of criminal negligence. ;et us begin with the mailer theory first because even 'oof has managed to grasp this model. *ow in the matter theory we need only four construction blocks to the universe. The first block is the space-time vault The second is the nature of primal matter. 4e can shrink these two blocks to a tiny point of no-thingness then e)plode them as the big bang, creating the outer appearance of our universe. Elternatively, in the steady state theory, we can simply let them remain in tttiroriginal form. The third construction block is the underlying physical laws such as the tendency to comple)ity and natural selection, inferring matter will combine into comple) molecules overtime, continually modified by 1arwinian evolution. The fourth block is the appearance of consciousness, arising when matter reaches sufficient comple)ity. This infers consciousness is simply a hallucination d by chemical processes. 4ith four blocks we have solved the basic nature of the universe simply and sweetly. 8r have we9 For it seems we are still left with the primal riddle of mud creating a comple) universe of consciousness. 4e are left with the problem of thinking mud. Further with this matter model we are forced to accept a universe based purely on an absurd moment of cosmic chance, an endless succession of billions of big bangs finally fiuking one that allows matter to gather in coherence, %t is the premise that if a million monkeys throw bricks for all eternity they will eventually build a cathedral or if enough cyclones pass through +unkyards they will eventually assemble a +umbo +et. %t is a blind and stumbling universe with human consciousness as its greatest known aeation This matter theory then assumes that before the appearance of mud there was nothing and that by studying mud we can grasp all things. %t assumes that mud through its own nature will spontaneously generate into a comple) universe. %t assumes that mud is the creator, the sustainer and the destroyer. %t assumes that mud is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. %t assumes that mud is mud, a frog is comple) mud and a frogs consciousness is an irrelevant hallucination. 5?

%n this way the matter theory has surrounded us with several dodgy conclusions, not to mention me cackling laughter of "ratosthenes. %ndeed it has left us believing the cosmos is simply an aberration of comple) matter and that the highest intelligence in the universe is a soup of swirling atoms. %t has left us believing that there is no god but mud and the law of natural selection is his only son. %mpossible as it may seem perhaps even 0oof is at last staggering before these conclusions. (erhaps even 0oot is beginning to grasp his cosmic error, the error of leaving consciousness out of the basic recipe for the universe. For this errors the indigestible, it N the science of cosmic proctology, its the conclusions that will arise when one wades through frog poop in the hope of discovering the nature of the frog. %ndeed through our failure to remember the nature of primal consciousness we trap ourselves in an embarrassing state of mind. % mean the poor kiddies who log onto the future super-net are going to be convinced we were simply rock apes# ;et us now leave 0oof clutching his recipe book for the absurd for it is time to wander the consciousness theory of creation. *ow the consciousness theory says matter is not the source of the universe. %t says the source s an "ternal dimension of pure ;ight shining into a vault of consciousness, a vault best described as a genies bottle, woven of the three dimensions of deep sleep, dream and waking. Further, within these dimensions, our cosmos appears as a stream of images reflecting on a screen hidden in the dimension of deep sleep. The theory also suggests the matter of our cosmos possesses no intrinsic intelligence but simply aligns itself on the hidden fields of consciousness, +ust as iron filings align within a magnetic field. %t also proposes the universe is not infinite but that is more like a magicians cloth of consciousness, woven of a precise set of powers. %n this way the consciousness theory portrays the basic model of the universe as this7 ,see the universe imageFocus on this image 0oot# %f you and your cronies do nothing else for the ne)t thousand years then study it. 1well on it, ponder it, it is the doorway that can answer a thousand riddles for you, 3ave it tattooed on your butt so you can contemplate it while doing yoga. ;et it settle into your psyche as a potential, the possibility our universe is a vault woven of three dimensions of consciou,sness, dwelling within an "ternal dimension of pure ;ight. Further, we can see that when we e)plore this creation model the "ternal ;ight shining into the bottle is creating the endless reflections of a comple) universe. %n this way the 8nes the many and if we place a crystal inside the bottle, symbolising the personal self, we can see the crystal mirrors the endless reflections of the whole. %n this way the personal contains within its tiny form the entire universal mind of consciousness and the ancient ma)im rings true7 as above, so belov9. %n summary we can see this consciousness theory proposes the universe is a citadel of consciousness, not an aberration of comple) mailer. %t also suggests the primal koan of the universe has become how can the light of the personal self find the .un that ;ights Ell, yet cannot be seen9 *ow while 0oof is cleaning his welding goggles lets remember the four basic riddles of universal appearance, riddles that arise when we look outwards from the earth, ga2ing into the vast e)panse of our cosmos that appears within the genies bottle of consciousness.

Firstly it will appear to us that the earth is flat, the sun is orbiting the earth and the earth is the centre of the universe. .econdly it will appear to us that matter creates consciousness. Thirdly it will appear to us that the reflected light of the ego is separate Dmm the surrounding universe. Fourthly it will appear to us that the "ternal is simply the three dimensions of the genies bottle of consciousness. These then are the four great elephant-traps of perception. 3owever, % suspect that 0oof at this point will not be happy. 3e loathes this concept of vast dimensions of consciousness, it is the black plague in his muddist temple and it destroys the elaborate elephant-dung mura#s he has been creating for a lifetime. %t is something he refuses to acknowledge, even as a possibility, that consciousness can e)ist separately from the comple) chemistry of biological forms. 3e likes to believe the greatest flowers of human history - 0uddha, 'umi ;ao T2u, $il Ganeshwar, *isargadatta - are simply suffering from hallucination, that all the mystic traditions have been absorbed in an idiots tale of absurdity. 5B This consciousness model, however, e)plains three great riddles of science. Firstly how does matter consciousness9 4e can now see matter does not consciousness, it is consciousness that creates melter. .econdly how do comple) organs arise from the blind forces of evolution9 4e can see comple) organs manifest because they am precise e)pressions of the hidden powers of consciousness. Thirdly what is the unified field theory that "instein sought for in the later part of his life9 4e can see the inifled field theory is a signpost pointing to the fourth dimension of the "ternal, the soume of all the disparate aspects of consciousness and matter 4e can see this consciousness model, with reflection, eventually becomes as bleedingly obvious as the round earth model of the cosmos but we can suspect that 'oof and his cronies, even with a scientific lineage stretching for three thousand years, will still be light years from perceiving it. r fact D 0oot has his way we will have to put up with the laughter of "ratosthenes for at least several more millennia. 3owever, perhaps it is too much to e)pect 0oot to grasp this consciousness model in one <uick sifting, so lets look at its tapestry in terms of seven of the worlds great philosophies. Firstly the ancient /reek (lato. 3e suggested all we perceive is simply a shadow play in a cave, a house of reflections with the creating ;ight behind us. 4e can see this is a good description of the genies bottle. .econdly Enimism descdbe all things in the universe as having consciousness or spirit. The genies bottle model shares this conclusion. Thirdly Tibetan Auddhism and its description of the death process. The earth aspect returns to the water aspect water to tire, fire to air, air into the daaSness.

Then one travels through The 'igpa. %f one has sufficient merit one passes through the transparent film into The /reat ;uminosity. The descdption of earth to ether is simply the reverse process of the creation chain of the big bang. The 'igpa s mind, the waters of consciousness. The description of the transparent film is the vessel of the genies bottle. The /reat ;uminosity is the ;ight of the "ternal. Fourthly the teachings of Len 0uddhism. E goose is hatched within a bottle. %n time it grows. 3ow then does one re the goose without breaking the baffle9 This is a koan, a mystical riddle. The goose is the personal sell growing in the womb of consciousness, seeking at last to mer into the "ternal. 3ow can it accomplish this9 To do so it must recognise its pure nature was never imprisoned in the first place. The appearance of the self within the bottle is simply the reflected ;ight of the "ternal. This recognition is the awakening. Fifth#y #ndian &oga and its description of the meditation process of deepening union. E process called the teaching of samadhi. Firstly one focuses ones self on image or deity. Then in time the sense of self is lost, only deity remains. Then deity too is lost, them is simply void. Then at last Them is union with the 0eyond. ;et us go through this line by line. Firstly one focuses ones self on image or deity. This is simply union with waking dimension Then in time the sense of self is lost, there is only deity. This is union with dream dimension. Then deity too is lost, there is simply void. This is union with deep sleep dimension. Then them is union with the 0eyond. This is the fourth dimension of "ternal Ewareness. .i)thly them is the hems +ourney of Goseph Campbell. %t is the progression from ego centred consciousness to the union with the d$ne, %t is the +ourney within the genies bottle. Finally 4estern science has discovered matter is not real in our usual perception, it is more like a multitude of partide perhaps woven of superstrings, in turn woven from e#even dimensions spun from a mathematical point of no-thingness. 5H %n other words the universe becomes an appearance-, an illusory reality - perhaps something within a genies bottle9 *ow 0oof % hate to tell you this but ii we gather a room full of people and present these two fundamental creation models, those of matter and consciousness, then suggest ninety-five out of one hundred people will go for the consciousness theory. %t is simply one that mirrors our common sense. The other five of course will be 0oof and four of his cronies.

Further, embarrassingly, this basic consciousness thecSy is at least five thousand years old so the first thing we can note is nobody seems to be in any hurry. 'ut 0oof dont you rush yourself, take all the time in the world, take another five thousand years if you want. &ou can even swallow some sleeping tablets so you can no longer hear the ghostly chuckles of "ratosthenes, or with your talents, +ust simply anaesthetise yourself with scientific hubris. 0ut %m afraid eventually this consciousness model is going to burn your scientific pride. %t is going to be hard to admit, painfully hard, that youve been a proponent of a fiat earth theory when the b#eedingly obvious has been sitting in front of your nose for five thousand years. .ony 0oof, youre going to have to wave goodbye to your m+ddist theory of everything and set a whole new course across the cosmos. (artThree>The (syche *ow while .oof is digesting all this lets see % we can understand the structure of the personal psyche, the reflected light of the personal consciousness appearing in the genies bottle. Firstly lets imagine we can 2oom into the personIl psyche, opening it like a flower to reveal its inner nature. %t will then look like this7 ,see consciousness image(ay attention 0oof This is the second of the two great images of consciousness. &ou should study it as if your life depends upon it. 3ave it tattooed on your other butt cheek, it is that important. For if you understand these two simple images you have the key to the universal structures, you are standing at the meeting place of science and philosophy, of psychology and mysticism. The endless roads are opening before you. %f we look at this image we can see the body-psyche is a magic tapestry of consciousness, a tapestry in which the personal game of life appears. This game appears because the human body is like a miniature genies bottle, a bottle we enter in our mothers womb, entering through the fontanelie, the opening at the crown of the head as a plume of pure consciousness. 4e then descend the spine until we reach wisdom-heart where we dwell awaiting our birth. Et birth we find ourselves cast in a great arc of psychic destiny, falling through the front of the heart in a descent to the feet where we draw upon ourselves a shroud of forgetfulness, the dreaming nature of the personal self. This act s an individual +ourney, the ascent through the psychic centres suspended upon the spine until we eventually return to our remembrance of divinity at wisdom-heart. %n this way there is a chronology written upon the body7 at early childhood we psychicafly dwell at the feet, ankles, calvesM by the age of si) we have psychically reached the kneesM by ten or twelve we have reached the pe$s and puberty. 4e must then ascend through the adu# t aspects of feeling on the lower abdomen, mind at the belly and ego structure at the liver to return to wisdom-heart. ,%t may seem peculiar to place the centre of mind at the belly but this is the source of our stream of thought. This is why stopping the breath stops the thought processes too.4e can see in this psychic game that while we remain centred beneath wisdom-heart we e)perience ourselves as a personal self e)isting in the fields of pleasure and pain, of life and death. 0ut when we dwell at wisdom-heart we e)perience ourselves as pure spirit, the state of % E$E, a witnessing self no longer trapped in identity with the changing fields of consciousness.

Further to attain this remembrance at wisdom-heart we need to discard the five primal chains of consciousness. The are forgeffulness, the loss into se)ual polarity, the entrapment at the woundings of childhood and se) and pride, the identity with personal mind and the dwelling beneath the ego structure at the liver. 5A 0oot do you grasp an this9 Es that lv character $a)well .mart would say its the old genies bottle inside the genies bottle trick, how could we have fallen for that one9 %ndeed after a little contemplation this panorama becomes simply irrefutable and we have solved a forest of dilemmas %n only a few short pages, in a couple of simple images knocked up on an old fleamarket computer. %n tact weve lust covered more ground of synthesis than 0oot and his cronies, with their wheelbarrows of telescopes and accelerators, have covered in three thousand years of scientific endeavour. 3owever, while 0oof is contemplating all this, lets have a look at some of the aspects of wisdom-heart, the profound meeting point of the psyche. 4e can see it is the place where we connect our feet and crown in one pure column of universal knowing so we are at last free from the +ourne of becoming and can simply love wtiat is. 4e can see it is the union point of the two inner se) steams so it is the psychic goal of our relationships. 4e c-an see it is the union point of the personal and universal minds soils the doorway to meditation. 4e can see it is the place where the grit of sand of ego sense falls from the eyes and we can at last perceive the panorama of our divinity. 4e can see it is the place of clarity where we are free to walk in and out of the mirror of consciousness, the doorway between forgetfulness and remembrance. 4e can see it is the source of our wisdom, the hiding place of spirit in a cosmic game of Thde and seek. 4e can see it is the temp#e where the warrior lays down his sword to become the lamb of /od. 4e can see it is our sacred home in a sea of life and death. *ow if we understand this +ourr.ey in consciousness we c-an see the act of standing vertically has two aspects. Firstly to stand vertically in physical form, allowing the flowering of the brain-spinal stern. .ec-onthy to stand vertically in consciousness, to rise from the ego centre at the liver to dwell at wisdom- heart, the union point of the psyche. %n this way we can see the holy grail of our myths is simply the spinal column of consciousness radiating its dear perception. 8ur very nature is the grai# we have mythically sought. 4e have been travelling with the grail tied to our backs in a peculiar state of e)istential forgetfulness# This is a remarkable insight, an insight only five thousand years old# %t seems the grail is not an ancient cup re<uiring the heroic <uest and the +ourney through fabled mountains. %ndeed it turns out we all possess the grail. %t is impossible to e)ist without its presence. 4e are the source that we seek. "n+oy 0oof, these insight-s are falling to us like petals from sacred flowers, take a good breath, they are treasures, taste them well. Further, when we understand this is our Gite situation, we have empowered ourse4es, we have grasped something of immense importance. 4e have made the vital step. 4e have Come to understand the grail is here, dose, vibrating powerfu#ly within. Et last our attention can return to our own presence, focus on consciousness itself, watching the very mind that s our universal +ourney. %n this way consciousness comes full circle

to the present moment, to the vertical mind, to the sphit-mind in <uiet and interested attention. 4e are then no longer running into dream and mind created time but listening deeply to the waters of consciousness that surround. 8ur +ourney is returning to its source. %lls easy to see t insights are like go#d, they are slitting stuff, but % suspect poor 0oot is flow lying on a head-lung machine, semi-conscious, reeling before the panorama of these vistas. .o while hes getting another morphine shot lets take a big breath and sumniarise the terrain we have crossed. Firstly let us remember how these di#ernr as of consciousness arise. %f we remember our primal image of the cosmos we know the "ternal nature has two primal aspects. They are the "ternal ;ight and the dear translucent nature of the genies bottle, which can also be described as the pure mirror of consciousness. The ocean of consciousness within the genies bottle also has two primal aspects. They are the reflected light of the persona# self and the -surrounding three dimensions of consciousness, the dimensions of deep sleep, dream and waking. 4hen our identity is mecged with the persona# self we e)perience our-selves dwe:ling within the ocean of life and death, of desire and fear. 0ut when our identity is merged with the pure mirror of the genies bottle we e)perience ourselves as the witness, the state of T% E$# e)isting in a dimension separate to the changing fields of consciousness. %n this way it is possible to move from identity with the personal self to become the "ternal mirror untouched by the stain of the universeM To attain this transformation of perception we ne-ed to enter wisdom-heart space in full wakefulness. To do so we must throw the five primal thains of consciousness. The chains are forgeffulness, the loss into se)ual polar the entrapment at the woundings of childhood and se) and pflde, the identity with personal mind and the dwelling beneath the ego structure at the liver. 5I *ow hopefully poor 0oot has at last awoken from his delirium. (erhaps he has finally grasped this tree trunk stricture that forms the basis of our universe. (erhaps with some miracle of perception he is no longer confused by the fundamental riddles of appearance, at last free to +ourney the myriad universal paths without travefling through mists of confusion. (aths such as the spiritual aspects of relationship, hea#ing, the philosophy of music, the theory of everything and the mind of /od. The flowers before him are now endless. 4ell 0oof, its been a big day for you so it must be time for a be) and a good lie down. Time to rest your head upon t mysterious frog of consciousn ss. Time to drift into the spaces that do not e)ist. $ay your dreams be sweet 0oot $ay the cloak of the ghost of "ratosthenes keep you warm. $ay his soothing chuckles soften your furrowed brow.

unrecogni2ed and unknown until one day in DAII a young 8steopathic student named 4fliam .utherland observed a disarticulated skull. /a2ing at the articular surfaces of the individual bones and noting the peculiar way in which they are beveled he had an ama2ing insight. %n his own words T0eveled like the gil#s of a fish, and indicating articular mobJfty for a respiratory mechanism.V 3e was to spend the rest of his life studying this mechanism. %t was in fact, the underlying membrane system and the craniosacra# rhythm, which he ca3ed The (rimary 'espiratory $echanism. .utherland developed specific techni<ues for improving the functioning of the entire system. 3owever, he was a mystic and despite astounding su his work was lamely considered unscientific. 3e died in DI?: at the age of AD, having taught his techni<ues to only a small number of people. The ne)t important step 8ccurred in DIH6. Following a remarkable e)perience assisting an operation, in which he obseived a mysterious movement in the membrane system, 1r Gohn Jpledger commenced studying .utherlands theories. 3e spent many years doing scientific research which, with slight modifications, validated .utherlands work. Jpledger began teaching Craniosacral Therapy and has written several books on the sub+ect. 3e incorporated a method of working with emotions which he calls .omato "motional 'elease. %n the late DIH6s an enlightened %ndian master, 0hagwan .hree 'a+neesh, began attracting many 4esterners to his ashram in (oona, %ndia.
