The Time of Death

Image
We all think about death from time to time, especially when there are far more years behind us than in front. What happens to us when the reaper finally takes our hand and leads us through the mysterious door that separates life from not-life. Do we go to heaven, Hell, The Summerlands or some place else? Perhaps our energies blend into a Cosmic One-ness. Maybe we are reincarnated into another body? Does any of it make sense to a mind that cannot comprehend the possibility of non-existence? I became a Buddhist for about 9 months back in 2013 and worked with a group of Tibetan Buddhists of the Vajrayana sect and one of their techniques was a meditation practice called Phowa which is defined as 'The practice of conscious dying'. Although I never went on the course designed to teach this, (It cost too much!), those I spoke to who participated always said that the technique removed any fear of dying that they had previously had. That it was a method of transfe...

Movements of Darkness and Light part 2

My recent journey through the vastness of consciousness has prompted me to continue to write down the results of my inner babbles. Please join me and feel free to throw in an idea or two, or even call me a mad dreamer. It’s all good! Many of you will be familiar with the Flower of Life and its development from the One. The above image is meant to represent the ‘complete’ FoL in a 3 dimensional sphere and it contains many secrets. More on that later. For now let’s look at the Vesica Pisces. This is the first movement of consciousness as it starts to experience itself.  This is formed when Oneness projects its consciousness away from itself and creates a second point of awareness and although this second point is still part of the One, it thinks it is separate and individual as this is the only way to obtain perspective.  If you imagine that the point of consciousness in the centre of the circle (really a sphere) is a pebble dropped into a pool of water then...

Reiki

Image
Reiki is a hands on healing technique. The word ‘Reiki’ means ‘Universal life energy’ in Japanese and can be broken down into ‘Rei’ meaning spiritual awareness and ‘ki’ meaning the life energy which runs throughout the Universe. Reiki utilises the Universal life force that is present in and around all living things and channels it through the practitioner to the person receiving the treatment. It is not associated with any religious beliefs and only requires an acceptance of the intentions of loving Universal energies and a desire to heal others with an open heart. The practitioner does not need to purposely channel the energy whilst practicing Reiki as the healing energy automatically goes to where it is most needed – the Universe know best! This means that the practitioner is not actually a healer but merely a willing channel for healing energy. This also means that since there is a mingling of energies, the practitioner will themselves benefit from the healing. It also means tha...

Sim City 42

Image
The programmer sits at the keyboard and types, Creating the code with his bits and his bytes. The Avatar moves with a simple command, Creating its world with the move of a hand. It moves and it thinks as it lives day by day, Dreaming the dream; the American way. But it's all just a scam; a hoax of a kind, Dreamt up from the depths of a programmer's mind. The Architect sits with her keyboard within, Creating the world with Her Yang and Her Yin. With Ten Thousand Things She spreads out Her waves, The world of the Quantum; strange how it behaves! In the blink of an eye, come atoms and cells, Myriad things filled with heavens and hells. And a man working hard in the days and the nights, Creating the code with his bits and his bytes....

The Illusion of Movement

Image
On a number of occasions I have come across the argument that movement is impossible. It goes something like this: In order to move ten feet you first have to move half that distance which is 5 feet. But in order to move five feet you need to move two and a half feet. But in order to move……etc. So in order to move any distance it follows that yo u must always move half the distance first and since you can go on infinitely having the numbers it follows that you can never begin to move so movement must be impossible. Is this true or is it merely a thought exercise?  Maybe movement itself is a thought exercise! So I ramble on, as is my want… Imagine a lighted candle. Now, with a small pair of tweezers on which is fitted a small wick, you snuff out the flame. As this happens the small wick catches fire producing a flame which you carry over to a new candle. The flame lasts just long enough to light this new candle then extinguishes. So to the observer you are mov...

Thanks for the Memory

Image
What is the nature of memory? We can lose it, temporarily or permanently. We can become confused as to what happened when and we can have false memories implanted. How much of whom we are as apparent individuals is the result of our memories? All good questions and I wish I could recall the answers! That said, I find the need to express some m ore of my inner ramblings.  Now I’m no expert with regards to the workings of the brain where memories are concerned, or where anything is concerned as it happens, but I can think about these things, and this is what I am thinking right now: What if our memories are not stored in our brains but in the place where they are created and the way we recall them is through quantum entanglement? Perhaps our brains actually store a large lookup table which contains entangled particles which in turn lead to the actual memory.   When our memories become confused it may be because some of these ‘lookup particles’ have thems...

Ever since I was first introduced to the subject of entanglement I have been enthralled by the possibilities it presented regarding the nature of reality. In a post in a Facebook group I was told by someone who appeared to know about these things, that entanglement didn’t really exist as such and anything like it only applied to photons. This led m e to think about it and, along with other ideas I had been playing around with concerning the nature of things, my thoughts came out thus: If entanglement were true and all matter (energy) in the Universe originated from a singularity the size of a pea (ish) then all matter is already entangled and so wouldn’t be identified as a phenomenon.  If not true then there’s something else going on and I need to look deeper. If true, but not all matter is entangled, then there is matter in the Universe that didn’t come from the singularity so maybe the singularity is actually a doorway through which matter (energy) is constan...
