Science & spiritality and aging.
One of
the most inviolate notions in our life is the sense of time. Life is linear, as
an progression that we can measure, clocks, calendars, milestones and history.
Birth, growing-up, getting married, having a family, accumulating possessions,
aging and death. The most tangible evidence of time is our own ageing. For most
of us, it is difficult to image non-linear time, people 800 years old and still
healthy and active. Most scientists dispute these claims, although one of them,
C. Edward Burtis, had to admit, after a life-long study, that the age mentioned
for Moses was correct. Most modern scholars argue that the
Genesis stories are just myths and should be looked upon in an allegorical
sense." I disagree, not a myth nor fanciful but the repository of ancient
memories; the Bible should be read literally as a historic/scientific document,
a historical document just like the writings of Herodotus or a text of Rameses
II." If so strong a tradition
evolves out of the past, it is likely to have a genuine geographical
setting." In addition, that in
general ancient civilizations are older and greater than assumed, there are
many more old civilizations lost due to climate change accumulating in the Big
Flood.

People
who are born healthy can grow very old and still remain in good health. Most of
them will however, die long before their potential Biological Old Age is reached.
You have to put aside the things as pestilence, violence, and
pollution/environment and will find that despite the multitudes of experiments
tried, and all the medical marvels of the last 100 years, the real potential of
the human lifespan has not been lengthened at all. Still today, the oldest
people on earth live traditionally in environments that are clean, clean air,
good water, quality food, a tribal communities, low on stress, and within
unspoiled nature. "Nature is not matter only, she has a spiritual
dimension also." |
Christianity & time.
One of
the oldest books we can use is the Bible.
Eden, Adam and Eve were in principle
heirs to natural bounty. ( Nature). They had everything they needed, living in
the “Garden of Eden”, the name of an area in the pre-Flood world and part in
the original story of Creation. Portrayed as a place of peace and were human’s
could become immortals, the world as a beautiful and perfect paradise. “God
planted a garden in Eden”. It was a real place, not mythological and it was
here that God put Adam and Eve, as the first two humans. Eve and her son Cain
who are now regarded as the true father of humankind; obsessed with the
material world, to prefer and choose material goods above spiritual
enlightening, a major defect as far as the Gods were concerned, the “ Fall” and
subsequent removal of humans of the garden. End of the experiment intended to
collectively redeem the human race and enter the world of the gods. The
ascendance of the self, associated with arrogance and self conscience. The
story of Man’s emergence from total integration with nature and replaced by a
dependence or perilous self-reliance, with all the man-made dangers/risks
incipient therein.
Symbolized by the names; progress and liberty. There is no record of what upheavals
that revolution did cause, the questions about traditional values and
life-styles abandoned, the dislocations of clans or tribes. These
agriculturists were innovative folk who did settled down, started planted
seeds, harvesting and storing, who invented the tent, musical instruments, and
tools to cut brass and iron. But leaving there natural environment, shaping
there own world conflicts emerged with others, and soon afterwards wars did
break out, about
land, crops, power, religion, influence in the region, tools, for loot and
slaves.
There lifespan started do decrease, the recorded life-span of the
players; Adam 930 years, Seth 912, Enosh 905, Kenan 910, Mahalalel 895, Jared
962, Enoch 365, Methuselah 969, Lamech 777 years. |
Mesopotamia
The
Sumerians, living in the same area, are another society who left us with a lot
of records, this time in the form of baked clay documents (cuneiforms).
The
Mesopotamians were the first known civilization that did start to build Cities.
Not only concerned with flood control and irrigation but also with urban water
supply and the creation of water highways for there boots and barges. The
Euphrates and Tigris are unpredictability and vary a lot, a major problem. The
system of canals, dikes, reservoirs more complex than most people do imagine.
During 3000BC, every major Mesopotamian city was the centre of a canal network
reaching to the outermost limits of the city authority.
They
recorded most of the reigns of the different Kings in the area and when we look
at them we find:
Kisj, 23
kings, period 24510 years, 1065 years average. Kisj no 2, 8 kings, period 3195
years, average 399 years, kisj no 3. 1 king, average 100 year, kisj no 4, 7
kings, average rule 97 years.
Time and
space are aspects of the material world and when you look at the stars you can
see what is happening, new worlds get born every day and others die out. Even
our Earth and our Sun have only a limited period of existence! Within the
material world nothing is permanent, (flux) therefore human existence is
limited and there is no way in which you can deny or escape it.
Spirituality, ideas and dreams do not
contain matter and are not ruled by Time. (Infinite) The ancients people did
associate Time with; corruption and destruction, saw it as important to reduce
the impact of materialism on your life and lifestyle. Key to a long and healthy
life are spirituality and consciousness. |

Alchemy.
The
alchemists were well aware of the different way in which time could revile
itself, using ‘chrono-logical’ and ‘Syn-chronic’ for it
description/differentiate.
The alchemist were involved studying, "the individual who is confronted with the abysmal contradictions of human nature in his life, thereby helping them come to a fuller understanding of the vastness of the Self, the totality of our being, which includes both light and dark. To the old alchemists, the essence of their art as both analytic and synthetic, as it involved separation, discrimination and analysis on the one hand, and synthesis, consolidation and integration on the other (psychology). Dissolving and regenerating elements of their experience and their identity both over time, as well as in each and every moment, to use the potentially present to distill, re-constitute and create something new within themselves. (Individual Transformation)
One object/ encounters studied in full was the concept of time, ‘chrono-logical’, represented by Saturn-Chronos, the dark father, "Father Time," is to be entranced and absorbed in linear time at the expense of the timeless dimension of our being. Symbolized by a weak and infirm old man, the mythic dying king, or "senex," who has lost touch with feeling, with eros, with relatedness, with creativity, with compassion, and with love. This figure of the rigid-old-man-negative-father is symbolic of a calcification of consciousness which, out of fear of its own weakness, holds onto and becomes addicted to power and control. The dying old man who has outlived its usefulness, and thus becomes an obstacle to the growth and development. Creating a world of rules and regulations, restrictions and suppression. Reduction in consciousness, associated with secularization and commercialization, pollution and bestiality. The archetype of the dark father, has to do with domination and force over others, (slavery en dependence) as compared to being in relation, of feeling, of spontaneity, of life itself.

The synchronic order, whose timing frequency (waves) are universal of nature and part of the energy field present within the universe or “ The resonating universe”, infinite interconnectedness and inter-resonance between everything and everything else. In the synchronic world view the microcosm and macrocosm (universe) are synchronistic, mirrored reflections of each other, (holistic) eternally unfolding in endlessly diverse and novel patterns. For the alchemist a way to connect with our intrinsic, God-given power present. True power is a power infused with the spirit of Eros, with relatedness, feeling and relationship, with love and connection, all of which are elements in the magic elixir. In the resonating universe, humans have an extended mind and are able to tap in and connect with the energy field..

Science, Newton & Descartes
Until
now the biological and physics were products of the view of Isaac Newton, theories that present all the elements of the
universe as isolated from each other, divisible and wholly self-contained. A
material world in which individual particles of matter follow certain laws of
motion through space and time like a machine.
Life as
an progression (linear) which we can measure, clocks, calendars, events and
major milestones. Time and space (matter) as finite, universal orders, not to
be questioned. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of
light. These paradigms, the world as machine and survival have led to a
technological advance but little real knowledge about any central importance
for humans as being. By excluding spirituality & religion this have led to
the most desperate and brutal sense of isolation in human history, harsh and
nihilistic. Anyone seeking a spiritual life had to wrestle with it two
completely different world view which could not be reconciled. A lonely and
desolate place. This self-centered way of perceiving and
treating the earth has led to a global crisis that threatens the very
possibility of future life on this planet for all beings. Our reality is a
projection of our inner reality, which comes from our past actions, a world
view or culture of dis-ease, based upon
the exploitation of the earth and other beings. Making it is easier to harm or
exploit another being or entity by seeing and portraying them as disconnected
from you, as your possession rather than an extension of your being.
Basically,
the humans being seen & put down as a survival machine largely powered by
chemicals and genetic coding.
The
brain too seen as a discreet and most important part in the human body, home of
the consciousness, again largely driven by chemistry including the
communication between cells and the coding of DNA. 
Newton
and Descartes plucked God and life from
the world of matter, and us and consciousness from the centre of our world. Our
self-image further reduced by the work of Charles Darwin, the evolution as life
at random, predatory, purposeless and solitary, an evolutionary accident
stripped to central facet; survival. Genetic terrorists, efficient disposal of
weaker links, no connection with sharing and interdependency. Most of the
important changes in nature brought about by leaps and not gradual evolution,
external factors leading to the extinction of the dino not evolution. Not able
to bring about a closer understanding of important mysteries of our being, how
life begins, how we think, why we get ill, transformation of a cell into a human,
human consciousness and dead.
Einstein.
Einstein
saw Time as relative, space-time and in quantum physics as some vast ‘here’
where here represent all points of space and time at a single instant.
Quantum
physicists had discovered a strange property in the subatomic world called
non-locality. The ability of a quantum entity such as an individual to
influence another quantum particle instantaneously over any distance despite
there being no exchange of force of energy. Albert Einstein disparaged this
‘spooky action at a distance’ and it was one of the major reasons he distrusted
quantum mechanics. Non-locality shattered the very foundations of traditional
physics. These subatomic particles had no meaning as isolated entity and must
be understood in their relationships. | |
The new science, quantum physics,
Science
born by the emerging of new ideas that challenge everything we believe in, how
our world works and how we define
ourselves. The new science able to answers questions that have perplexed
scientist for hundred of years, some called the science of the miraculous,
whose results fly in the face of current biology and Physics.
The
universe connected by an underlying energy field. This field is responsible for
our mind highest functions.
The
information source guiding the growth of our bodies, representing hart, brain
and our memory. Humans beings and all living things are a coalescence of energy
part of a field of energy connecting to every other living thing in the world.
This pulsating energy field is the central engine of our being and our
consciousness, the alpha and the omega of our existence. We are attached and
engaged, indivisible from our world, and our only fundamental truth is our
relationship with it.
The
world of separate (Newton) is laid to waist once and for all by the discovery
of “quantum physics”, proven faulty. It did start with the discovery that atoms
could be divided and subdivided. When the pioneers of quantum physics peered
into the very heart of matter, discovered that the tiniest parts weren’t matter at all as we did known it.
But even more important, these subatomic parts had no meaning in isolation but
only in relationship. It could only be placed within a universe as a dynamic
web of connections. Time and space themselves appeared to be arbitrary
constructs, and not applicable at this level of the world. Time and space did
in fact not exist here only here and now. This Zero point Field the
underpinning of our universe, a heavenly sea of energy, one vast quantum field,
connecting everything present as an invisible web. Living beings can best be
seen as packets of quantum energy,
constantly exchanging information with the invisible energy field. We literally
resonate with the world, changing the most basic laws of biology and physics.
Time and space themselves appeared to
be arbitrary constructs, and not applicable at this level of the world. Time
and space did in fact not exist here only here and now. Time-space in the
future already exist in the realm of pure potential and seeing into the future
or the past we assist in shaping it and bring it to live, just as we do with a
quantum entity in the present with the act of observation. Subatomic waves or
particles not only know each other, but are highly interlinked by bands of common
electromagnetic fields, and can communicate together. They are like a multitude
of tuning forks that all begin resonating together. As the waves get into phase
or synch, they begin acting like one giant wave and on gigantic subatomic
particle. Many of the weird quantum effects seen in a single wave apply to the
whole. Something effecting one will effect all. Playing together but as
individual parts. When you are listening it is difficult to pick one out. An information transfer via
subatomic waves does not exist in time or space being an ever-present. The past and present are
blurred into on vast ‘here and now’ and our future already exist in some
nebulous state and can be actualised in the present. Our brain can ‘pick-up’
signals and images from the past and future.
Time-displacement,
The
universal zero point field containing the electromagnetic waves has his own
substructure. The secondary fields caused by the subatomic particles
interacting with the field are however not electromagnetic, do not have direction
or spin and travel faster than the speed of light and holding/storing the
information of space and time into a timeless, space less quantum of
interference patterns. Pure energy as it exist at the quantum level does not
have time or space but exist as a vast continuum of fluctuating charge.
Quantum
physics like many revolutions did start with small pockets of rebellion with
the mainstream science, which did gather individual strength and momentum. A
breakthrough in one area, a discovery somewhere else. Although aware of each
others’ scientist in the laboratories often dislike venturing beyond
experimentation to examine the implications. Many scientist had to fight a
rearguard action against an entrenched and hostile establishment. There are
many attempts to discredit the ideas by scientists with good credentials and
testing methods but not successful.
Acknowledging
the new ideas means scrapping much of the modern science believes and starting
from scratch is proving difficult. The now old science was based on assumptions
and half true, not knowledge but
authority, self-centred, power or standing. The centuries dominated by
the dark father and dark ages as predicted by the Alchemists. Eventually, the
now orthodox science will start to adapting to the new world view.
The believe that Science can only be a process of
understanding the world and ourselves, rather than a fixed set of rules for all
time. It is wise to keep in mind the well-known dictum that a right idea can
never get definitively proven, the best science can do is to achieve is to
disprove wrong ideas. | |
