Description:

Outline of certain ideas


Revelation

  • Responsible universal laws; contract & change => our world
  • Events influence
  • Crystal - emotions
  • Coherence => G-d
    • in physical
    • in spiritual => miracles

Choice

  • Freedom to choose → affect the system
  • being constrained by yourself → expression of sovereignty (not necessarily individuality!).
  • no choice - being constrained by another.
  • (Free) choice → turning away => Infinite removes Itself?
    • forget, as if asleep => as if living in a dream
    • lucid dreaming => as if awake
    • entheogens => awaken → addiction

Mitzvot

  • to bring greater coherence into the system
  • Will of G-d
  • Universal laws

Prayer

  • heart => influence events
  • cured from sickness
  • ask for grace
  • change in network
  • re-arrangement

Evil

  • disruptive (to life)
  • what is it?

Transgression

  • shock, short circuit
  • increases klipot

Thought, feeling, deed
Scriptures → personal
Description (prophets) allegorical

Understanding

  • moving from observer to participant

“Dream”-like state

  • space and time not significant
  • everyday reality inadequate
  • hesitate
  • underground pools of reality
  • “Dreamlike state of physics”
    • state & process
    • quantitative vs. experiential view
    • 2 descriptions of nature
    • Heisenberg → “Consciousness behind symmetries and other laws of nature”
    • The Human Soul
    • Schrodinger → “Ghastly silence”, Universal Intelligence
    • Physics, soul (psychology), collective wisdom = shamanism?

World Soul Time

  • World
    • (Sense) some perceptions correspond to each other (Consensual Reality), others do not (Non-consensual Reality).
      • CR → impersonal, authorised, fundamental
      • NCR → personal, individual, subjective, less fundamental, less consent, less authority
    • Impersonal sense perception authorised by science (or psuedo-scientifically based beliefs)
    • “Real” → not necessarily “true” → some objective facts, some matter of opinion, based either on faith, or on a limited understanding.
    • Truth
      • Problem → absolute truth
      • experience of real vs. “not real” → mad, marginalised → discriminated against
  • Time - spiritual progress
    • ability to raise self to level of identification with a higher mind.
    • beyond that of contact with mind and spirit
      • spirit (ruach) → higher soui (נשׁמה) –> Chaya => prophecy, revelation (rare)
      • (Chaya) receives power and plenitude directly from the world of emanation.
    • more one rises, the closer to realisation of the highest purpose of one’s being
    • few achieve this, for the most of us we are blessed with only occasional flashes of awareness (and insight), though one such event can change one’s life (הנני moment)
    • Life is lived in the realm of action
  • Soul
    • functions through its instrument or vessel (body)
    • fulfils its function → after all, it is a creation created before you existed, too.
    • to perfect the world → Nay, to bring about the Sovereignty of the Divine.
      • To realise one’s spiritual potential
      • to achieve the realm of the Divine
      • to always remain connected to the realm of the Material
      • part conscious, part unconscious
