Sizes of Being, and the Instrument of Time
This is part a continuation of the Quantum Mechanics and the Macroscope chapter that appeared in Filters and Reflections: Essays on the Nature of Reality.. On consciousness and Myth.
human consciousness has shown not to move and steady, regular paces - but instead to contain periods of rapid growth and change, which frame those times or moderate development. These periods of rapid acceleration of associable to catalyzed reactions, where a series of events is triggered in relatively rapid succession. With chemicals in the lab, controlled conditions are used to guide this process. In the case of social systemics, we have no similar framework for control except for self-consciousness, social identity, and other facets of collective perception.
Without such self-awareness these rapid growths in human consciousness can lead to unbalancing situations such as border conflicts, market [pro-?]collapses, technological obsolescences that can lead to complicated systematic turbulence. In order to address these scenarios, there must be a methodology for investigating growth. Since this growth is the nature of human consciousness, the investigation must address the mythological foundations of the subconscious and unconscious mind.
A systemic association of myth contains the roots for developing frameworks capable of understanding rapid accelerations in the growth of human consciousness. Such growths would then not be without informed awareness of their nature, since they would follow a patterns inherent in the system, whether they be represented directly or indirectly.
§Envelops of Scale, and Beingness
§Lethe and Rebirth
It has been told that whimsical and irresponsible gods would bath themselves in the Waters of Forgetfulness (Lethe) in order to renew their virginity after fornicating with those they should not have been. This model seems to go further, though, to the general notion of the renewal of virginity. Mortals entering the realm of the underworld would pass through the river Lethe to wash away their memory of life past so that they would not be unhappy in the underworld and could go on to lead a new life. This is the process of rebirth and is another indicator toward the necessity to integrate and shed some portion of the former self in order to move on to a new way of being.
§Time and Timelessness
You are an anchor for every God. There are many of them, and they have multiple physical anchors. Minor demons and spirits have fewer, but they all “ride” on top of the physical world. You are a medium for those higher astral intelligences
do you have more model/idea for how/why we anchor so broadly, and how/why others do not?
I think the main divider here is that Gods are eternal, that is atemporal. They ride on top of the entire brahma cycle. They are divine thougthtforms.
While spirits are temporal. They are within creation. A spirit can be any number of things, and it is a very large category. The dead, animals, your own personal guardians and shadows etc.
Djinn are clearly spirits. as they are they in-time, and not timeless. because they can be killed (even though effectively immortal)
Angel means messenger. And they seem to act within time. But this can get muddled, because the arch-angels may be what I would refer to as Gods
are ‘chthonic’ beings gods? or are the some kind of ‘lesser god’ in the sense of how Titans were different than gods, in the Greek pantheon?
Osiris is a minor God, and he is definitely Chtonic.
There are several layers here. So i will have to do some exposition. Odin, is the highest God. But he isn’t the One. He is low, middle and most High. His sacred name is Third. He is trinitarian, as seen in his symbol, the valknut
yes, which includes time/#eschatology and also outside of it. I just try to model which kinds of beings++consciousness are within/without of each ‘level’. level===envelope, really, IMO
it does, but not demons and other in-time things that are not ‘thor like’
i’d liek to see more of how they are different ‘the semantics of how they are different’
the name of Odins father is Caged. As in unmoving. Locked in the ice. He is the king of the dwarves (chtonic deity). The dwarves are the mental shapes that shape the material world.
Nice symbolism for the Monad i think
The spiritworld is the inbetween. Time in fairy land passes at different speeds.
opportunity to think through the relationship between Thor and time though
§of Names in Time
it helps to remember that words are powerful yet imperfect because they are situated in the maya of time. Therefore they can never be complete, yet they can be instruments of wholeness. This is part of the mystery of the angels’ names.
“The Ancient One is hidden and sealed; the Short-Tempered One, revealed and not revealed. Revealed, written in His letters; concealed, sealed by letters unsettled in their places, for about Him above and below are unsettled.60”
Excerpt From: Daniel C. Matt. “The Zohar (The Zohar: Pritzker Edition) vol 5: Exodus.” Apple Books.
§The Void and its Relations
the name of Odins father is Caged. As in unmoving. Locked in the ice. He is the king of the dwarves (chtonic deity). The dwarves are the mental shapes that shape the material world.
Nice symbolism for the Monad i think
interesting, because ‘the mental shapes that shape the material world’ is very semantic. it is like qlippoth shadow form toplogy
In latin myth, the dwarves have tiny daggers from which they carve the world out from the nothingness
“Rabbi Shim’on said, “We have learned that when the blessed Holy One created the world, He carved engravings of mysteries of faith within radiancies in supernal mysteries. He engraved above, He engraved below, all in one mystery of engravings of the Holy Name, יהוה (YHVH), ruling through its letters above and below. Through this mystery worlds were consummated, the upper world and the lower world.”
“when the blessed Holy One created the world…” means that in the beginning of the process of emanation, God engraved the forms of the sefirot, which are symbolized by the various letters of the name יהוה (YHVH)”
Excerpt From: Daniel C. Matt. “The Zohar (The Zohar: Pritzker Edition) vol 5: Exodus.” Apple Books.
interesting the qlippoth make sparks in the void and it tears apart the plenum to structure the light that precedes the merkabah luminefourous aether
scene in avenger’s movie where dwarves make Thor’s stormbreaker (new weapon in marvel uni)… the forge of the dwarves is epic. Just what i always wanted
I think the sound of the horn-resounding ‘bounces off’ these sparks in the void-plenum i think the dwarven blades are making rune-marks that change the structure of the aether-resonance that makes the eschatological world
i knew the runes - the great runes of the logos - were semasiographic
under/in material world, but outside monad and such the demiurge seems like some ‘monad of shadow-forms’
§Techne and Envelopes of Being
I think tech also relates to the envelopes-of-scale fractality. “what are you going to do when you land on mars? Build a house, and garden?”.
The tech for home/garden is the first 2 envelopes of scale. Traveling between planets is tech of the 9th envelope.
Part of the issue with technology is mis-applying tech of one envelop to problems of another envelope. It may trigger and ‘immune responses’ from a larger envelope, or warring from lower envelopes.
We can think of this as heading toward a definition of mis-applied technology, ‘not in the image of the divine’. But moreover it may indicate a relationship between technology and a scale of beingness - and their role in identity. Identity may inimically define itself regarding ‘what it wields’. Technology, being many things, has as much been about weapon that defend the self, one’s family, etc.
A standing army is the technology of the State - a weapon through which State-scale Identities maintain their self definition. Similarly, this relates to the plasma clouds that Robert Temple mentioned. They would seem to represent ‘boundaried things’ (big bodies) at 9th-envelope scale. So they would have self-identity of that scale. And as Temple suggested, use tech at that scale (changing earth rhythms, making crop circles, etc).
IMO techne and levels of being-ness are interconnected. Our body has techne going on - the biophoton repeater/resonator process. The enslavement/symbiosis with gut biome. The symbiosis with placental DNA. For each of these ‘lower’ organisms / processes, they integration of them to be the human body is techne. Just as is villages, city governments, an the processes that support their existence.I think there’s a number of kinds of technology that we ‘wield’ individually as single humans. Those distract us from the role that techne plays in the formation of higher bodies. Sometimes, the single-human technologies are symbolic of integration of the higher bodies. Like the dorje, which is dagger and spiritual lance for piercing many dimensions of evil (the dis-integrations of the higher body(s))As we integrate more, and become whole beings of these higher bodies, we become the rulers of such domains: cities, states, nations, planets?, etc. And maybe this isn’t the only ideal model. “Can a city have more than one person who is whole and just in their integration of the spiritual techne of a city-scale body?”
Can every person in a city-sized domain have their body-identity-techne-consciousness integrate the same scale? Or are these ‘cellular’ in some way?
§Ego as Bounded to an Envelope of Scale
((.. other examples of ego, identity and suffering))
Per Aaron Hicks model, “the devil” may likely be a superorganism of microbial species that exist within the human organism. A couple points to this - we know that biofilms are polymicrobial - so they do work together. Also, in watching a lot of YouTube exorcists, there is clearly a hierarchy of demons, with the devil at the top. What I’m wondering is, maybe the hierarchy isn’t one species over another species, but a superorganism containing organisms - so the superorganism group consciousness would be the “boss demon” of its constituents, and the devil would be the top layer superorganism consciousness of all pathogenic microbes working for the downfall of the host
This matches the ‘envelopes of scale’ model I push, where each envelope is, or can be, associated with an identity or ‘ego-center’.it could align with the idea that emotions related with different envelopes of scale. And that ‘hate’ maybe a lower-order enveloped, than ‘love’This may also align with a merkabah model of angels — being ‘operators’ for certain scopes of the universe. I’m betting that these ‘scopes’ are within a single envelope of scale, and do not cross envelopes of scale.
In the ‘envelopes of scale’ model, there are many various states and each of them has a ego identity, for each envelope of scale.
- Awareness of self (envelope 0)
- awareness of family (envelope 1)
- awareness of tribe
- awareness of town/community
- awareness of city (envelope 4)
- awareness of state / region
- awareness of nation
- awareness of continent
- awareness of earth (envelope 8 )
- (envelope 9 is the lunar orbit, whatever to call it)
We name those things. People are defensive of them. Patriotic to them. Give up themselves for them. Actually any ‘smaller’ (inner) scale might give up of itself, for the integrity and health of the large scale - the ‘superorganism’ which it is within.
§I of Many
In the gurdjieff / ouspensky “the fourth way” model - a human is a collection of various “i”s … the I who likes to smoke… the I who likes a coffee.. the I who likes to run… not all I’s are compatible…. the I who wants to quit smoking at night, is not the same I who wakes up in the morning craving one… the morning I over-rules the night - time ‘i’. The system develops a mastery of I’s. Likewise, you can overlay it with a system of micro biota that are friendly/ not friendly and each have their own demands / “i” requests. We can see this also in the wormpill model, where cravings, akin to sins and demons, are analogous to gut and other microscopic aggressors attempting to disrupt the balance of the whole-body. Without surprising coincidence such model positions that cancers are other diseases are the macro-effect of these aggressors and stresses.
Here we also see the ‘envelopes of scale’ / ‘envelopes of being’. The next-scale of envelopment is all of the vices/demons/etc of the scale(s) within it, tempered and industrialized as organelles — or discordant into disease.
The Scale of Social work
We may consider that ‘indigenous cultures’, and ‘social work’ are a sustainability pattern focused on the 1-3 (or 4) envelopes of scale. Regardless of whether either is ‘ancient’ to the area, or ‘recent’.
| Likewise, ‘decolonialization’ relates to the 5th - 8th envelopes of scale, and those that have internalized the | 5-8 | scales of identity. Such people are ‘alien’ to the indigenous / social-work scale of identity, in the same way spacefaring beings with the 9th-14th scale of identity are what our post-industrial (globalized) fiction stories call “aliens”. |
