The Bridge Between Man And God: Mind And the Nature of Reality — Answering a Subscriber's Questions
This edition of Beyond the Cosmic Veil is a special one. In the previous article, fellow reader Nicholas Presberg asked some absolutely fantastic questions along with some great challenges in the comment section and I felt that it would be an injustice to all of you to merely respond in the comment section where not that many people would see it.
Before we dive in, I will post the link to the article below so you can read over it. Afterward, I will post the axiom in question and then go through Nicholas’ questions one-by-one.
AXIOM
The REALITIES of life are BALANCE. LOVE. TRUTH. ENERGY and the LAW. This is what God IS. These are the QUALITIES of MIND which you cannot SEE. You can only KNOW them. The unrealities of life you can alone SEE, for they cannot be KNOWN.
The REALITIES are QUALITIES of Mind at rest.
The UNREALITIES are QUANTITIES of sensed bodies of matter in motion.
It should be noted that this axiom was originally coined by Dr. Walter Russell, who during a 39 day and night period of cosmic illumination was made to know God’s processes of Creation. He would go on to re-write the periodic table and predict 5 unknown chemical elements which would later be isolated by attendees of his lectures on them.
I added the line: This is what God IS — as it was repeatedly uttered by Dr. Russell in his writings and I felt that it would add more depth of meaning to the axiom.
Let’s take a look at Nicholas’ challenges and questions:
Comment 1
A few comments. First, the terms you use in your axiom are rather vague: what is 'love,' or 'truth,' or 'energy'; what 'law' - is not your axiom the law?
No, this axiom is not the law which is referred to alongside Truth, Energy, and Love. There are in fact more, some of which I will state here: Balance, Idea, Desire, Purpose, Knowledge, Beauty, Rhythm, Inspiration, Light, etc.
Before we define what these terms are at the end of this section, it would be prudent to briefly describe what the God-Mind is and how it simulates our material universe.
Mind is not the brain and Mind is not thought. Thought is the product of Mind, and the product cannot create itself. Likewise, the material universe cannot be the creator of itself.
MIND is the dimensionless, vibrationless, motionless still white LIGHT of CAUSE.
The material universe is the dimensioned, vibrating, ever-changing divided spectrum lights of EFFECT.
Because Mind is dimensionless it has no form, and because it is vibrationless and motionless it doesn’t move. Because it doesn’t move, it doesn’t change. Because it doesn’t change, it Eternally IS.
In other words, Mind is the still fulcrum and the material universe is the moving lever.
This is an important analogy to keep in mind.
A lever cannot move on its own. It MUST have a still fulcrum so that it may express movement. The energy-power of the lever to move therefore must reside in the still fulcrum and not in the lever.
This is true everywhere in the universe. All motion is centered by and controlled from points of stillness. Your body could not move it it weren’t for the fulcrum points at each of your joints.
A hurricane is motion centered by a point of stillness. The closer the motion gets to its centering fulcrum the more it is able to express the power of its centering fulcrum by increased wind speed.
So what is Love, Idea, Truth, Energy, Law, Balance, Beauty, etc.?
They are the eternal, unchanging Qualities of Mind at Rest.
Mind is a dimensionless, undivided equilibrium of rest — it is a UNITY.
Being a unity, all of the above words, in actuality all mean the same ONE thing, but you and I, require different connotations in order to function in daily life.
We have all heard the sayings: Love IS Power, Beauty IS Truth, Truth IS Power, Knowledge IS Power, Love IS Law etc.
We intuitively know the above to be true, but couldn’t explain why.
Let’s perform a thought exercise.
Try to imagine a wheel. Each spoke of the wheel being one of the qualities mentioned. The Reality is that all of these seemingly separate qualities extend from their centering hub (fulcrum).
That unity of all of the seemingly separate qualities of Mind are ONE in their dimensionless crucible — which we simply refer to as God.
These qualities are IDEAS or IDEAls — for the only tools Mind has to work with are Ideas and thoughts.
In order to understand how God simulates his Idea-qualities we must have a basic understanding of the wave.
Light-waves are God’s sole tool which is used to construct the material universe.
God-Mind is still unconditioned WHITE LIGHT. The purpose of Mind is to Think and Thoughts are light-waves. When God thinks, he divides his stillness (fulcrum) into oppositely conditioned spectrum lights which comprise the red and blue half of the electromagnetic spectrum (the lever). This creates polarization along with MOTION, and with it, all of its opposite expressions. I will name some:
positive-negative, male-female, compression-expansion, heating-cooling, polarization-depolarization, gravitation-radiation, etc.
God compresses light waves into small volumes to simulate corpuscular matter and expands light waves into large volumes to simulate space.
In other words, God, the FATHER-MOTHER, divides the UNITY of the ONE ETERNAL IDEA of FATHER-MOTHER love into father AND mother unit pairs which eternally interchange with one another electrically in order to simulate their UNITY in Cause.
We Define God:
God is Light; God is Love. God in inexorable Law. God is the invisible, motionless, sexless, dimensionless undivided and unconditioned WHITE magnetic Light of Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent MIND.
— Walter Russell, Atomic Suicide pg 106
Love is the ecstasy of peace and rest in the balanced LIGHT of all-knowing, which IS God. The EXPRESSION of love is balanced giving and re-giving.
God has One IDEA, DESIRE, PURPOSE, ACTION and LAW:
His one IDEA is His unity in FATHER-MOTHER Love
His one DESIRE is to think action, and rest from action, in sequential intervals
His one PURPOSE is to think his Knowing of what He is, and what he Knows into imaged forms
His one ACTION is to Give
His one LAW is that what he gives MUST be BALANCED by equal re-giving
Question 1
If God is the Realities, and the Realities are qualities of Mind at rest, and these are the things which are known, and all Mind is one, then, since God know this of himself, there cannot be unknowing. As it is clear from your argument, we, like Jesus, must come to know, must learn, and thus we do not yet know: we are unknowing. Therefore, by your own argument, both your axioms and arguments are refuted.
The connotation of the above question in the phrases ‘must come to know’ and ‘learn’ imply an adding to of knowledge from an external source. This thought pattern arises from modern neuroscience and psychiatry which thinks consciousness and mind is located in the brain. We need to understand what consciousness actually is before continuing because modern science confuses consciousness with the electrical senses of the body.
What is consciousness?
Consciousness is the Mind-Quality of awareness, or more specifically Mind-Awareness or recognition of its qualities. The Buddhists call this mindfulness.
We are not unknowing as was claimed.
Every human on Earth is conscious of the Mind-Qualities of Balance, Idea, Desire, Purpose, Knowledge, Beauty, Rhythm, Inspiration, etc.
In fact, this awareness of that spirit within us is the one thing which differentiates between us and animals.
No human is unknowing of them as was said — for to be unknowing of them they would have to have absolutely zero concept of them. God’s omniscience centers us in all of its fullness — it is our birthright. The only difference between us lies in our varying degrees of awareness of them — but we are all aware of them. This is the difference between the average person, the genius, and the mystic.
Question 2
It does not follow from your axioms or your subsequent argument that at the level of causality all difference fades and unity incurs - furthermore, if this is the case, then you have this problem: how can one Mind be united and not united at the same time and in the same respect. This is an assertion, i.e. having no conditionals statements. This is, again, an unsubstantial claim. Moreover, on the level of definition, cause implies something prior and then something coming forth from it: how can Mind, as all Mind is one, be prior to itself.
Now, there is an argument to be made here, but it will cost you something more than your system can withstand. In order to save yourself from this, you need to say that our minds participate in Mind, thus still being one. However, participation implies potential; but your argument rests on Mind being full act. Moreover, in order for there to be participation, there must be, by necessity, multiple: thus you run into the same problem: how can multiple be One in the same way and in the same respect?
How can one Mind be united and not united at the same time?
This is a fantastic question which was answered prior, but I will briefly summarize it again.
There are no separate Minds, there is only One Mind.
Mind is the undivided, uncreated changeless qualities of God’s eternal equilibrium — the undivided white Light of Cause which constitutes the spiritual universe of REST.
Mind-thinking seemingly divides this equilibrium into two equal and opposite conditions of polarized pairs of male and female bodies which constitute our universe of Motion.
The word seemingly is very important. A unity cannot be divided but it can seem to be. Balanced-Unity cannot be divided, but it CAN be simulated in motion. When we stand erect, we are simulating undivided balanced. When we begin to walk, we divide that balance into two equal and opposite unbalanced conditions which interchange with one another to simulate the unity of their Cause.
The question which was asked was how Mind can be united and not united simultaneously. This question arises again, from a currently held wrong definition by neuroscience of what Mind is. It assumes that Mind is a physical thing and has some ‘form’ that it can be ‘united’ or ‘combined’ with another to merge into a unity.
The mistake lies in the belief that thought is the Mind when it is but the product of Mind.
The Thoughts of God are electrically polarized male and female pairs which unite in order to simulate their UNITY which is forever at rest.
…cause implies something prior and then something coming forth from it: how can Mind, as all Mind is one, be prior to itself.
This question eludes to time. Time is a function of motion. Without motion there is no time.
Mind is dimensionless, vibrationless, and motionless — which means it is TIMELESS and ETERNAL.
Mind simulates Eternity by eternally Thinking in concentrative-decentrative pulsations.
The answer to the second paragraph comes from the misunderstanding of Thought and Mind being One instead of Thought being the ever changing Effect and Mind being the unchanging Cause.
There is only One Mind in the Universe, there are, however an infinite amount of thought-expressions which extend from that Mind.
I will endeavor to answer this geometrically. A point on a paper symbolizes a dimensionless point. Geometrically and mathematically one can draw an infinite amount of radii to the circumference of a circle from that point.
Similarly, an infinite amount of radii extend from a point to the outer shell of a sphere.
As such, an infinite amount of thought-expressions are able to be extended from their dimensionless source to simulate their source — but the thought simulations are not the REALITY of the QUALITIES which they simulate.
The Mind-Idea of Beauty for example has an infinite amount of expressions in painting, sculpture, architecture, music, etc.
The Mind-Idea of Love is expressed in many ways such as man-woman romance, a woman caring for a child, a neighbor helping neighbor or a soldier reaching into a foxhole to help a fallen friend.
When you say: “In order to save yourself from this, you need to say that our minds participate in Mind, thus still being one.” — it would be correct if you meant thought instead of Mind.
In other words: Our thoughts participate in THOUGHT, but are One in their Mind-Source.
Question 3
The axiom allows for mind and body (or, if you will, spirit and matter, form and matter, etc.), but you present no possibility of them interacting - you again just assert this, but it is entirely unclear why such an assertion is justified. Now, since the sense-stuff cannot be recognized by mind, it has nothing to do with mind. If God is Mind and nothing can exist outside of God, Mind, then, since sense-stuff has nothing to do with Mind, and thus exists outside of Mind, it cannot exist. Therefore, matter is non-existent. And, therefore, your axioms are self refuting.
If God is Mind and nothing can exist outside of God, Mind, then, since sense-stuff has nothing to do with Mind, and thus exists outside of Mind, it cannot exist. Therefore, matter is non-existent.
This is Correct, and based on the above explanations, it does not refute the axioms.
Question 4
Also, you mention "early thinkers," but never mention which ones. I think it only fair to your readers to provide the names of these authors and their texts so that they might go on to investigate for themselves. Furthermore, it is always easier to argue against ghosts than actually take their works seriously and take their texts apart piece by piece.
This question is in reference to this in the article:
Jesus' illumination into full god-awareness as Mind, was misinterpreted by early thinkers who heard Jesus’ story via word-of-mouth. The misinterpretation by primitive and superstitious thinkers was that the mortal body of Jesus was divine, instead of His immortal Mind.
By early thinkers I meant the men who wrote and codified the Gospels.
Nicholas, I hope that this answered your questions, and I have no doubt that it probably created many more!
