In 1994 I was a member of the Mochin List for a while. We had quite a few exchanges and discussions. I think the list orginated in Irael and was promoting Project Mind. I have no idea how I joined that group - maybe I was invited or smiled at. Everybody always wanted me to join Project Mind. I bought the book Project Mind by T. Kun ~ Excellent book but very intellectual ~ ! I refused to join Project Mind !

Matter in various traditions is a relative term and is classified, in cosmology, according to levels of materiality or essence or "lack" or "desire to receive." Essences are classified according to a number of factors including the degree of separation from the root from which they were created. You say, >Matter in and by itself does not exist! I am not sure that this is a helpful approach. The Creator made matter not only as an instrument of obscurity but also as an ultimate instrument for our pleasure. When all this earthly abode is rectified and suffering is abolished, it is my belief that matter will remain but will give expression not to lack, as is presently the case, but to unlimited abundance. Then, when we bite into a cookie, we will taste a multi-layered ecstasy corresponding to all the worlds. Kun calls matter "the thin crust" of an otherwise spiritual reality. In this scenario, all levels of materiality accommodate and integrate the light of reality. Were all levels of materiality to collapse into a primrodial unity with only the Creator remaining, then what will have been the point of Creation to begin with? In Judaism at least, we are told that the purpose of Creation is for the Creator to give endless pleasure to His creatures. You also say, >Consciousness is the Essence of the universe and this Essence is >the creative force of the universe. This can be misleading. All created essences are lack or "desire to receive." That is what distinguishes and separates them from the Creator. Without this separation and the obscurity and the suffering that goes along with it, there could be no Creation in which we humans are to be co-creators (to use a term coined or at least used a lot by Barbara Marx Hubbard). Consciousness is what happens when essence fuses with the specific grade of light meant for it to accommodate. This is realization and is never totally complete since no part of Creation can be totally realized in the absence of completion in the other parts. The creative force of the universe is the light that emanates from the Creator. It finds expression in the substance of our essence as the "image of G-d" stamped upon it. Existence is conscious in potential and will be conscious in practise when we have completed our role at the end of the Sabbatical Millenium known as "Gmar Hatikkun" (the competed emendation). Although everything, as you astutely point out, is an expression of energy and thus of higher, creating Mind, it is usually useful to recognize that our mind and that Mind are presently incommensurable and that physical reality must be addressed through the highest level of creativity if the gap between the actual and the possible, waking sleep and consciousness, is to be narrowed. It is my experience that eating cosmic cookies without engaging ourselves in cosmic acts aimed at narrowing that gap leads to spiritual indigestion. Now, Gerardus, that you have acquired Project Mind, perhaps you could bake us a PM cookie? Blessings to all, David S.

We have done this on purpose in order to experience our matter creation. We as human beings are the creative force in human form and we are in the process of experiencing our self created reality. This means naturally that if we do not like it, we can change it! All of us are the creators of our own reality. Few of us however know this to be so!

The spaces between > matter-forms are illusions because the energy between objects exists > but does not vibrate within the range of our senses or instruments. Not knowing how to provide good Eliza sounding responses like <morales@PANAM1.PANAM.EDU> I will attempt to address the phenomonology and not the phrenomonology which you incite with these comments. Consider the physical models of matter, realizing none are even remotely removed from the assumptions of the underlying theories which develop the models. That is, the model representations show all of the artifacts of the mathematics of the underlying theory - hmmm, coincidental? Discounting this chicken and egg nuance and accepting that the measurement of physical phenomenom meets the empirical evidence (usu. measures derived from an acquired energy metric through calculations based on accepted theory - hmmm, again?). Well, neglecting again the smell of rats spinning this way or that when held by the tail based on genetic determinism let us proceed further into the tiny, whiny islands of sub-atomic particles. How did we get so small? Is it likely that we will get smaller still? I think so. So, where is this leading? Back to One Energy as Gerardus proclaims. The make-up of our physical matter is mostly a field of variable density. Aaah, but there are those "real" things, right? Wrong. The "real" things in the atom are mostly a field of variable density. Aaah, but there are those "real" things, right? Well, enough of that for now (especially since it is "speculation" that those sub-atomic "real" things are mostly a field of variable density). So, matter is energy, nothing new here, right. But energy is organized in ways we cannot see. We can see big material things, but we don't see big energy things and we can pass right through them as if they had no influence, since usually they do not; like a fast neutron passing through your body. How many people know about how many fast neutrons have passed through their body in the past five minutes? I agree the spaces between matter-forms does not exist because the spaces between matter-forms and the matter-forms are the same thing. Of course, energy-forms which are not revealed to us are things we don't know, therefore these illusions can not hurt us, right?

Message-ID: <08080094021637@HUJIVMS> ================================================================== To One and All... (Including all Spooks and other temporary Apparitions and/or Realities) Thank you David for sending me a digest of some of the action on Mochin. I had no idea that so many "thinkers" were contributors to this Network and I'm glad I have the privilege to be a beginner among you. It's good to mingle minds! I would like to **loosely** go over some of the questions and or remarks and presents my humble and not so humble views about all these queries... David S. D. : The idea of PM is not to "get people interested in deeper aspects of themselves." I consider that a fairly hopeless task and leave it to the missionaries. Our plan is far more modest. We wish to "save the world" as you put it. Then people will wake up of themselves. And for that we must rely on "Old Souls" as you put it. Is your soul old enough to help in this? Your help on the list is already a step in the right direction. Gerardus: Where did I say "save the world" ?? The only way to save the world (and I DO NOT believe that we are here to save anything) is to get people to become more interested in deeper aspects of themselves in my opinion. Unless we all understand that WE ARE ALL THINGS, including the world, we will never get anywhere. We MUST understand Who and What we really are first of all, before any responsible action from Mankind can be expected. Creating a world of "Material Abundance" by means of PM, will put the entire world of Man on the welfare list. To expect them to wake up because of this is not my conviction as yet. I might put them to sleep longer and deeper then ever! And whether my Soul is old enough to help in this, I do not really know as yet either. My Soul is an awful busy mind-mingler already at the moment... Anyway, my Awareness/Soul and or Godbeing is aware enough to be an aspect of this particular Mochin List, because of your invitations. This however does not necessarily mean that my Awareness is directly in favor of PM. However, as a newcomer to the book and this group I am not entirely against it either. As a matter of fact I need to look the entire idea a bit "squarer" in the eye. (Is squarer English?) ---------------------------------------- Gerardus: Matter in and by itself does not exist! David: >>I am not sure that this is a helpful approach. The Creator made matter not only as an instrument of obscurity but also as an ultimate instrument for our pleasure. When all this earthly abode is rectified and suffering is abolished, it is my belief that matter will remain but will give expression not to lack, as is presently the case, but to unlimited abundance. << Gerardus: What we call Matter is the Name we have given to Energy in our unconsciousness. What we see and experience is not what is there! Our very eyes and experiences with matter have given us the (unconscious) ideas that matter is a real, in and by itself, substance. Matter is a form of Spirit - Energy. Our existence in this Earthly Plane however is called the Physical Experience but we are here mainly to see what it is like to be fooled by our own Creative Endeavors. Our Physical Creation IS the so very special Realm in which we are living with the illusion that we are Matter and that all things we see and experience are matter. Well, some of us have discovered that we are being fooled by our own senses, that in conjunction with our conscious mind have taken Mankind for a ride in the material World that we call Real! Well, it is Real alright, a REAL Illusion! For example: have you ever seen David Copperfield, the Illusionist on TV? What do you think this man is conveying to us. He shows us that matter is directly responding to his mind and he can do almost anything including flying and exchange people as well as objects instantaneously because he has COMMAND over this so called Matter. All he does is; have command over an aspect of his mind that we call matter. He multiplies fishes as well probably, as well as bread. This has been done before however, so he is doing something different! Matter in my view is a "virtual reality", like ALL realities we will ever encounter before we finally end up HOME! As you say: Kun calls matter "the thin crust of an otherwise spiritual reality" I agree with T. KUN! Matter is the ripple on an Ocean of Spirit or Energy and you need a specific Instrument in order to see and experience it! The human Body. I feel that you and I are here to discover that we are the Creator of Matter as much and as easily as that we grow carrots and or watch our navel. Our purpose is to KNOW OURSELVES. This to me is a deeper Knowing of Ourselves and I am not sure that the world of man will get to this "knowing", once they climb over this "heap of plenty". I did it without it and so did millions in the past. It takes the experience of an old Soul to recognize itself, for it has seen the mirror quite a few times! It's been there! It knows what it sees. Another thing David, you speak about the Creator as if it is some kind of different Force than we are. I see The Creator and all of us as ONE! We are it! I intuit the Creator or God to be: An Undifferentiated, an Unmanifested and an Unconscious Force/Energy that becomes Differentiated, Manifested and Conscious in Creation as the Created! Which are You and I and all Things! Differentiation and Conscious Awareness is the objectification of and in our manifested realities of which there are many for we are unlimited! The physical is the "crust" or but one of these realities. The ripple on the Ocean. Glad you send me all this stuff David, I would have been bored otherwise. Thank you for your eforts to put me up to date and subscribing me. ========================================================== >From Morales?? Name? >> Gerardus says: We see or experience very little of what really goes on in the universe. Morales:>> (The Universe is immense. Or are you speculating that it is miniscule if we could somehow encompass it all?) << Gerardus: I am saying that we see or experience very little of what goes on for most of it is invisible. Energies we cannot sense! The entire Universe is full! FULL! There are no open spaces! Only Energy-Clouds we cannot see or feel or measure! Space is an Illusion! The entire Universe is a Mental Phenomena and Mentality has no "immensity" Big or Small. Yes, we can live in other than Matter, however the Name Matter is a misnomer! We always live and are Energy. Matter is a special form of Energy. We were "alive" before we entered this special State of Mind called the Matter world. We as the Creative Energy Force have created limited Bodies and live in them now! It puzzles the dickens out of us becase we do not know where we come from. That why we created a God or Creator and say It did it. We are not responsible for all this. We are the Cause and the effect. We as TIE "The Infinite Essence" have put ourselves to sleep and dream that we are man. The dream is real for all Dreams are real. However what is Real! 'Nuf said for now! Some of us are in for a "shock" for the masses have not kept up with What IS! What are UFOs? What are these figures in our fields? Who is stealing and mutulation our cows in the field. Who impregnates our women and steals their babies? The fact however is that most of Mankind is so fast asleep that NOTHING is going to wake them up. Many of them are keep asleep on purpose! These are the strange phenomena I refer to. There are many Forces at work in our world! Some of Mankind will be so called victims of their time to reincarnate again somewhere else and try again to awaken! If you are interested in my entire philosophies I have a Disk-7 that contains it all. $5.00 as Shareware and its yours. If you're interested please let me know. Thank you Morales... =============================================================== Gerardus: Thank you Paul for welcoming Cosmic Cookies. The jar is always full, but the lid is not always open!

Koopman: >> Consider the physical models of matter, realizing none are even remotely removed from the assumptions of the underlying theories which develop the models. That is, the model representations show all of the artifacts of the mathematics of the underlying theory - Hmmm, coincidental? << Gerardus: Naturally none are coincidental! Scientist since ever create whatever they discover. Maybe not each scientist discovers his/her own creation but who else but "the Creator in Man and as Man" created what we find? Who else is there? Well, we could assume that there are "others" out there, yes, sure, but these others have enough wisdom at hand to leave us alone to discover our own Creative Power and Possibilities. We are autonomous! BTW: I also have my "thoughts about the Chicken and the Egg Nuance just ask for it! -------------------------- Mike:>> Well, neglecting again the smell of thats spinning this way or that when held by the tail based on genetic determinism let us proceed further into the tiny, whiny islands of sub-atomic particles. How did we get so small? Is it likely that we will get smaller still? << Gerardus: We will get as small as our visualization processes will let us. Our Imagination is the limit! Since this is unlimited, all things will go in all directions. Smallness and or Greatness in size are the Limits of our Mind, the Creator's mind, working through and as Man consciously! ---------------------------------- Mike: >> Back to One Energy as Gerardus proclaims. The make-up of our physical matter is (mostly) a field of variable density. Aaah, but there are those "real" things, right? Wrong.

Well, enough of that for now (especially since it is "speculation" that those sub-atomic "real" things are mostly a field of variable density). Gerardus: What's going on Mike? You see it the way I do! Well, I'll be dammerated, sanctified and forever gloating from now on in! I finally found someone who can "see"! Congratulations Mike! I put Brackets on your word "mostly" Mike. (See your quote) I think it should be left out. I see the entire Universe as our Mind or Consciousness and it is an Energy that appears or is spaced in Realms of Densities in which there are Nodes of Awareness (Human Beings for example) who know what's going on. There are also less-aware as well as more aware entities naturally for Man on Earth is not the only one who is aware or asleep! There are also Energies that have to potential to become more aware. This is so for the entire Universe is Energy/Consciousness in evolution (Growth) infinitely. Our Universe then, as our Mind or Consciousness is expressing itself in an unlimited diversity of "Holographic Images of Itself", creating individualities and within all Individualities and or Things, the entire Wholeness is represented in order to assure nobody gets lost. IOW we all BELONG! Well now, what else is new? And where is this Creator or God we have been talking about for all these ages? IT is the ONE we ARE! ------------------------------------------- Mike: >> But energy is organized in ways we cannot see. We can see big material things, but we don't see big energy things and we can pass right through them as if they had no influence, since usually they do not; like a fast neutron passing through your body. << Gerardus: Absolutely Mike!

This is a humble attempt to give the reader a closer understanding of the UFO Forces that visit our planet. This literature does not deal with so called UFO phenomena. Meaning; the amount of people that have seen UFOs or the scores of people who have had missing time periods or the amount of women who might have been impregnated by these forces and/or how many new cattle mutilation we have had this year or last year. No details will be discussed in this material or article. It only deals with the how and why the UFO Forces come to our planet! There also is a certain amount of repetition utilized, since the concepts discussed are difficult to understand and it will help to give the reader a quicker grasp of things, without leafing back to: where was it now that I read about that kind of stuff! I hope that I have expressed this difficult subject clearly enough so that most readers get a greater understanding of how things really are in these so called enlightening times we're living in. I have tried to express the "Truth of Things" with the patience of an old fashioned Angel and with the determination of the most modern Saint I can think of. Me! Pun intended! The following also contains some far sighted metaphysical philosophies for they belong to the far reaching realities about UFOs. Please be patient if you are not interested in all of it, some readers just might be! Pleasant reading! -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- FOREWORD.... Before we can explain what UFOs are, we first of all have to understand what the basic medium of the universe really is. The entire universe is a free and flowing vibration of energy that is infinite in its variety and diversity. Also, the universe is full! There are no open spaces or areas where "nothing" is happening! All visible and invisible aspects of the universe are our very own mind or consciousness, engaged in the processes of creation! It is also necessary to have some understanding of Time and Space before the puzzling phenomena of UFOs can be understood. We begin therefore, with a discussion of Time/Space and Matter! -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- ABOUT TIME AND SPACE - THE CENTER POLES OF PHYSICAL REALITY! We experience time and space when we are awake. And even then, depending on our activity; time and space are quite flexible. The duration of time and the volume of space, depend on our attention or focus. The more we focus on either, the more pronounced they become! This suggests that time and space are actually created by us and when we are unconscious or asleep we stop creating them. Time and space are the center-poles of our matter reality or physical world. They form the psycho-physical background of our day to day existence. The more attention we give them, the more they acquire! They are flexible components or conditions. Time and Space are created by our mind, our brain and our senses, working in a synchronizing energy field. The reality of time and space are generated by this special energy field that we are involuntarily subjected to, as long as we live in a physical body. Time and space, in and by themselves, do not exist and we become more and more aware of them when we focus upon them and thus co- create them. Time and space are each other's opposite. Time is the result of movement and space is the distance traveled during this movement. Time and space are also each other's mirror images. There is no time without space and no space without time. Time and space are a continuum! WE CREATE SPACE BY DEFAULT. The universe around us is like an ocean full of vibrating energy in which we swim. Different energies in this ocean vibrate in different patterns and frequencies and these differences create different kinds of matter or substances. Certain patterns and frequencies of vibration are noticed by our sensory system and the substances that are experienced as material or solid substances form our physical world and universe. The majority of the activities that take place in our environment however, are beyond our grasp. We experience only a small aspect of the total action! The total activity IS the universal mind or the entire ocean of vibrations! Aspects of this mind that are not noticed by us, leave openings and this gives us the false or illusionary impression, that these openings are empty spaces. We do not notice the energies that occupy these many openings because the energies or objects that are there, are created by vibrating energies with frequencies we cannot sense and therefore belong to another dimension. We as human beings are not made to experience these other energy densities of the Universal Mind. They belong to other realities or higher dimensions. The energy-bodies of our deceased relatives could be standing right beside us, but most people would never notice them, because we are not attuned to the frequencies of the next dimension or density! All realities, activities, objects or things are consciousness or mind in vibration! The aspects we see or experience of this ocean of vibrating mind; we call our surroundings. The things we do not sense or experience are dismissed by us. However, they are still aspects of our surroundings. Our invisible surroundings! We just do not notice these invisible energy vibrations, but they occupy the openings or room we call space. We look right through these energies, and therefore; we create space by default!

Gerardus ------------------------------ Topic No. 2 Date: Tue, 9 Aug 94 4:18 +0300 From: JSHEPHER@LoyalistC.ON.CA To: mochin@nysernet.ORG Subject: Creation Message-ID: <09080094041856@HUJIVMS> Hello list members, Existence is intricately structured on all levels. Order implies purpose. There is a purpose which is inherent in existence and intelligence. Therefore the world was created by an intelligence - which we call God. We desire to be co-creators. In order that we can create we are born with the desire to receive and the desire to give. This gives us the ability to have compassionate, creative vision which provides us with images of reality so we can transform our environment into one free of restriction (able to realize its potential) so it can develop naturally and holistically. God makes what is spiritual into a physical world while we transform this physical world into a spiritual reality. Gerardus: What we call matter is the name we have given to energy in our unconsciousness. What we see and experience is not what is there! Our very eyes and experiences with matter have given us the (unconscious) ideas that matter is a real, in and by itself, substance. Matter is a form of Spirit - Energy. Yes, matter is a form of energy. It is also "the thin crust of an otherwise spiritual reality". Matter is energy and energy is real - it is our reality. There are different levels or dimensions of matter. Together they make up reality - levels of experience we can touch. They exist within each other and cannot exist without each other. Matter "physical reality" is the lowest and coarsest form of energy. Our body is made of this "coarse energy". This substance is "desire to receive" - the potential to accommodate energy. Our body is also imprinted with "the image of G-d". This gives the body form allowing it to accommodate energy. This form is "desire to give" - the potential to use our energy for creative vision. We are microcosms mirroring existence and having unlimited potential. Energy on higher levels manifests as finer energy. The body is a receptacle for these finer energies. With the ability to receive energy we become a potential influence. Matter and form together form our "essence", our potential influence. Once the body has incorporated some of the finer energies we have "mind". The level of mind depends on the amount of energy it incorporates. The mind can accommodate energy and realize and expand intelligence from the faintest awareness up to total consciousness. Potentially the body is all mind and is able to adapt to cosmic reality - expand consciousness to realize all the levels within. The level above matter is "spirit", which has it's own level of materiality which is less coarse than matter but more coarse thanthe next level which is "soul", which also has it's own level of materiality. Spirit animates the different levels of being (essence) and the soul is the highest level of being that does not include eternal life - the full realization of individuality which results in immortality. There are states of consciousness that correspond to these different levels of materiality. These depend on the amount of spiritual development - how much of reality we have adapted to. Each level has different characteristics. What we see and our place in the cosmos depends on our level of being.

You didn't Gerardus. I was pulling your leg. In a letter to me from some time back you indicated quite clearly that saving the world was not your thing. The idea of redemption, for some of us, implies what we believe to be techniques of influence more effective than words, ideas or even examples. Some of us believe in the spectacular potential (for the moment inadequately expressed by science) of material transformation, expressed in Hebrew as "Tikkun Olam BeMalchut Shadai" where some understand "Malchut" (kingdom) to include physical reality. Gerardus, you say, >Unless we all understand that WE ARE ALL THINGS, including the >world, we will never get anywhere. We MUST understand Who and >What we really are first of all, before any responsible action >from Mankind can be expected. This is very spiritual but there are other interpretations which anticipate that wisdom and understanding for the majority of humanity will come differently, as a result of a radically transformed environment, one that will reveal, through matter, the compassion of the Creator for those who are unable to see this from deep within the adversity and/or illusion in which they may find themselves. Just as you may feel that your (elegant and generous) expression of spiritual ideals on this and on other lists may help open some eyes to a clearer view of reality, others feel that material transformation is a more effective infuence for this same result. >Creating a world of "Material Abundance" by means of PM, will >put the entire world of Man on the welfare list. Gerardus, we are already on the welfare list. The air we breath, the sunlight that vivifies us and everything alive is received without perceptible effort. It is my belief that, thanks to human creativity in emulation of the Creator, this will be extended to material things. According to some if not all versions of Jewish tradition, the Sabbatical Millennium, slated to begin not later than (6,000 - 5754 =) 246 years from now, will be established for the attainment of wisdom under the tutelage and guidance of the Messiah. While concerning our physical needs, we may very well be on what you call "the welfare list" we will work assiduously, in spirit, to know our Creator. Once this has been accomplished by the year 7,000, the free lunch will really begin. At that time we will no longer feel we must "do" anything to pay for our existence. We will finally comprehend that simply to receive the Creator's infinite gift, fully and unreservedly, is the ultimate payment. >To expect them to wake up because of this is not my conviction >as yet. I might put them to sleep longer and deeper then ever! In this, Gerardus, you seem to be confusing affluence with abundance. Affluence implies that some have and others don't which enhances material values. The "have's" might easily become complacent and indolent. But unlimited abundance, which is clearly the expression of the highest spiritual principles in matter, would create a world in which physical objects would lose all value. Our unlimited desire would not change, but the objects that we desire and cleave to would, by default, have to change. Those values would necessarily by metaphysical. Please look this "square in the eye" and let me know what you come up with. I believe it is a revolutionary, esoteric concept fully in harmony with Lurianic and Ashlagian Kabbalah. You are great at giving, Gerardus, let's see if you can receive! I agree that "Matter is a form of Spirit - Energy." This doesn't mean that matter doesn't exist. Our material world was created by our Creator and does exist, as matter, but as our perpective widens we can begin to perceive that physical existence is only the "thin crust" of reality. I am not sure that judging exclusively from the point of view of the absolute is helpful in learning to cope creatively with our present condition. When you work on your camper, do you constantly see it as crystallized spirit or is it matter for you most of the time? >Our existence in this Earthly Plane however is called the >Physical Experience but we are here mainly to see what it is >like to be fooled by our own Creative Endeavors. I don't think it is our "Creative Endeavors" that fool us so much as our reluctance to creatively apply ourselves with all our heart, spirit and means to the restrictive challenge of matter that separates us from a universal awareness of the spiritual nature of existence. >Well, some of us have discovered that we are being fooled by our >own senses, that in conjunction with our conscious mind have >taken Mankind for a ride in the material World that we call >Real! It is not so much our senses that deceive us as the paradigm and inadequate energy level behind those senses. After all, wisdom varies from person to person and moment to moment quite independently of our senses. And the "illusion," you will notice, persists even after we affirm that there is no matter. So as far as I can see, the total devaluation of matter is the only way out of this fix. >I feel that you and I are here to discover that we are the >Creator of Matter as much and as easily as that we grow carrots >and or watch our navel. Our purpose is to KNOW OURSELVES. As I see it, Gerardus, the RESULT will be self-knowledge (including knowledge of all things) but the PURPOSE is to creatively and compassionately help one another. And your acts, in this regard, Gerardus, speak more loudly to me than your words. You are obviously striving hard to help others and in the process you (and I) are learning about ourselves and existence which, ultimately, are one. >Another thing David, you speak about the Creator as if it is >some kind of different Force than we are. I see The Creator >and all of us as ONE! We are it! Hmmm, I think there are a distinctions to be made here. First, there is the Creator, unmanifest, of whom we can know nothing and from whom we are separated by the fact that we are made of lack and He, as Creator, cannot possibly have any lack at all. Then there is the Creator "manifest" which in Hebrew we call "the name" (HaShem or Shmo) which is existence as I think we both see it. At the end of the Sabbatical Millennium, in the year 7,000, it is said that "He and his name shall be one" (Hu Echad uShmo Echad). Then the unity of what you call "You and I and all Things" will be manifest. >Glad you send me all this stuff David, I would have been bored >otherwise. Hope you still feel that way after attempting to ingest this somewhat long, greasy, metaphysical (kosher) sausage.

Zen Mirror Thought of the week: Zen, the inexpressible concept Wholeness, is the polar opposite of Archetype, the manifestation of elementary symbols. Regardless of where you go, or what you do, you are manifesting an archetype. Even the denial of the existence of a Jungian collective conscious is an archetype. I was walking down the street thinking about archetypes and Chaos. The only thing that escapes the collective archetype's non-linear arms is Zen because Zen in inhererently a personal/universal experience. As I thought this, a kid skated by on FOUR wheels wearing the All-Seeing Eye (check the back of a ONE Dollar bill for your personal copy). The triangle connected me to the golden section, the Fibonacci sequence, the mythical-physical-ness of SPIRALS. One cannot escape the aesthetic perfection of the golden proportional harmony. Is the all-seeing eye a manifestation of the orderly disorder of the golden harmony? Is the golden section the ultimate manifestation of "God", the ultimate algorithm? --MOVIES 2001 Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Written by Arthur C. Clarke There are very few movies that attempt to transform the theatre experience into a complete encompassing other world. 2001 does with its long cuts of deep space, sparse dialog and vivid symbols. They draw you in. After reading Doctress Neutopia's thesis, "Gaia, The Planetary Religion," I saw the movie through the eyes of a feminist. It amazed me to think that Arthur C. Clarke's vision of the first tool was one of violence. Was the first instinct to fight or is this just the male-dominated post-Darwinian thought? Imagine a movie where the first tool was a shell used to carry water and/or plants from a field. It would be a vessel, a more female form. One that leads to agriculture, a very significant leap in the evolution of civilization. Another evil-male thought -- why was the monolith such a phallic symbol? Couldn't it have been a circle or a sphere? After this question materialized, I saw the sequence where Dave is an old man on a bed. He reaches up towards the monolith, then the camera zooms in and through the monolith suggesting a rebirth experience. The monolith is a unified representation of man and woman. I thought about the monolith from the first moment I walked into the theatre. I noticed that the screen itself was the same proportion as the monolith. As I watched the apes worship the monolith, I noticed the strange familiarity of its ratios -- 1 unit deep by 5 units wide by 13 units tall. It was, of course, members of the omnipresent Fibonacci sequence. I couldn't help but laugh. In addition, I noticed that HAL's face place is composed of two rectangle, one 5x8 and the smaller 5x3. Together they create a classical construction of the golden section. It is as if the knowledge of the monolith, representative of the golden section, surfaced through millions of years of knowledge gathering only to resurface at the ultimate creation of man -- a self reflection. I saw crosses everywhere for the first time. The shuttle that first pulls into the space station is an obvious cross. It is also the same shape as the flag in the briefing room where Dr. Floyd talks about the cover up. Finally, another prominent and most significant cross is the antenna on the Jupiter space craft. As Frank goes for his last space walk, he is sacrificed. He almost becomes a Jesus figure in order for Dave to transcend beyond the infinite. Watching the glorification of the space program, I started wondering about Kubrick's angle. All of those incredible special effects were dazzling, but possibly too much of a propaganda film for NASA. Was this really the same director who did "Dr. Strangelove," an anti-establishmentary film? But then I thought about the fact that HAL fails. In other words, even though the surface may seem that male-centric tools have evolved into nearly human forms, they are still faulty and sinister. In 1968, a year before the landing on the moon, Clarke and Kubrick subtly suggested the natural tendency of authority to cover up details from their citizens. The idea that proof of intelligent life is coming back into vogue, including new subverted pictures of strange formations on the surface of Mars and the Moon. Yet, the government won't comment on the existence of these features. If they ever acknowledge a fact, it is usually trivialized to coincidence. If intelligent life is out there, one can be pretty sure that it won't come from the government. It is interesting that 2001 demonstrates that fact. It is almost suggesting, "Question Authority." Was HAL intelligent? Sure he played chess and could talk. We all know that is not a big deal. But the idea that he was starting to panic and essentially "went nuts" seems to prove that he went out of the realm of his programming and into his own conscious desicions. The fact that his analysis of the "AE-35" unit did not match with the mirror machine seems to suggest that he had drifted into his own world. Did the suppression of secret message (revealed when Dave turns off HAL's higher brain functions) cause his system to overload an inadvertently start a chain reaction that caused consciousness? If it did, I believe that that scenario would be out of the linearity of programming by humans and caused by a chance reaction within the breakdown within the scope of his logic system. The trippy ending to the movie almost seems like an homage to the sixties. Although I admired the technical aspects, the revelation to me was the way that the seemingly random sequence of images told a very concrete story. First, some of the moons of Jupiter line up. Then the monolith crosses the intersection towards the top leaving a lasting impression of yet another cross. It implies the rebirth archetype that has been mutilated (so to speak) by Christianity. This begins the THIRD movement of the movie, a spiritual rebirth of Dave. The first sequence is a vertical scape of flowing images. The sequences shown along the sides are very basic repeating pyramid structures of familiar fractal forms. The entire scene is very digital, implying the basic foundation of existence as the separation between moments of zeros and ones, of space and matter, of woman and man. As the movement continues, we see Dave's face vibrate into higher energy levels. As the process continues, the axis shift begins and the colors now come from a horizontal line. These lines are far more complicated. There are sin waves, a second level formation on mere lines. They imply 2 dimensions. Then, FIVE diamonds appear circulating a wheel of color. The diamonds are two pyramids with the same ratios as the Pyramids of Egypt. The five become seven, another holy number. These diamonds are the only physical suggestion of extraterrestrial intelligence within the final sequence other than the murmuring voices in the final bedroom sequence. The next sequence is of organic flows, like oil rainbows on water. There is one sequence where a red ball becomes a fetus. This is a second birth. Then, the final trip sequence is that of canyon landscapes done in high contrast film. As the camera zooms past the different cliff formations, one can see that these are fractal landscapes. This implies that our third origin is that of chaos, controlled disorder, or the laws of disorder. The duality of order and disorder exist as mirrors of each other. Together, they form the core of our existence, the regenerative chaos. The trip sequence is a confrontation with the master algorithm. We see it evolve from basic order, to second order sin waves to third order chaotic forms. The three combine to a single vision of meaning -- one of the many secrets of the monolith. There is so much meaning inside of 2001. The loose archetypes can be read in a million different ways and that is probably the way Kubrick and Clarke intended it. This masterpiece is the most hopeful prediction of the future -- that we are inescapably due for a quantum leap in our cognitive evolution. --BOOKS Power of Limits Gyorgy Doczi Walking around William Stout's Architecture Bookstore (near the TransAmerican PYRAMID), a book caught my eye because of a spiral. I have a real attraction towards them being that I feel they are the core of existence. The cover had architectural renderings with measurements of temples, bugs, fish and human bodies. I was sold. The book attempts to find a unity between everything from cockroaches to the Parthenon of Athens. It does so by analysing the golden section and the Fibonacci sequence. His incredible drawings map focal points of different objects to a controlled spiral map. Each time, the spiral seems to line up to the object. His controlling point is: The pentagon and the pentagram, like all patterns, are defined by their limits. Incorporated in the harmonious patterns of fruits and flowers, they exemplify an epigram attributed to Pythagoras, that limit gives form to the limitless. This is the power of limits. And his simple explanation of the golden section is: a uniquely reciprocal relationship between two unequal parts of a whole, in which the small part stands in the same proportion to the large part as the large part stands to the whole. or A is to B as B is to A + B or 5 / 8 ~ 0.6 and 8 / (5 + 8) ~ 0.6 (tee hee hee) and concludes On any given line there is only one point that will bisect it into two unequal parts in this uniquely reciprocal fashion, and this one point is called the point of golden section. The complete reciprocity of this proportion strikes us as particularly harmonious and pleasing... The idea is that everything that is harmonious and aesthetically pleasing is controlled by central rules. Within these rules, creations of all types can be described. It is almost as potent as saying "God is an algorithm" The incredible part about the book is that Doczi manages to map both organic and man-made structures. In addition, within the scope of inorganic strucures, he everything from prehistoric cave paintings to modern 747's and from Western architectural pieces like the Colosseum to the Eastern Zen Garden of Ryoan-ji temple. In addition, he maps concepts like musical harmonies and socialism to these golden series. Quite a mean feat. The amazing part is that he pulls it off. The physical drawings register in your mind. It isn't just a bunch of crunchy new-age wawa, it is a real analysis of the physical. --COMMENTARY Interactive Fibonacci Numbers are so concrete, but filled with mysteries. They fool one into thinking that they have a "scientific" grasp, yet, it is often impossible to state the reason that strange coincidences appear all over the world of math. My favorite mathematical distraction is the Fibonacci sequence because so many magic numbers come up along the way. These numbers have become a part of the western culture and appear everywhere. Sometimes by choice, sometimes by pure coincidence but always by man's feeble attempt of implying meaning behind the mystical of numbers. Can you believe there was once (and possibly still is) a cult of the Golden Section? Did you know that the Kabbalah, an ancient religious Hebrew text and the basis of many occult studies, is based on many number games? 3, the holy trinity, the all-seeing eye, the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico 5, pentagrams, pentagons, the Pythagorean fellowship, your hands, many flowers... 8, the wheel of fortune 13, Jesus and the 12 disciples. The Thirteen colonies (those wacky early American Masons). 144, as in 144,000 chosen people in the book of Revelations. This little reference in the Bible is the source of at least one religion, The Church of the Latter Day saints. .666, the number of the beast (when 2, a symbol of humanity (i.e. man and woman)) is placed over 3, a symbol of God. --QUOTES Neo-Shamanism "Born Again Pagan" Bumper sticker Religious Tacos "I can't believe how the spiral symbol is being abused by today's advertising companies. I feel the spiral is the ultimate religious symbol. But now I see is used to push everything from symphonies to tacos." "You would not make it in the world of advertising," said Leo. Their goal is to trivialize the spiritual. --MUSIC . Ramifications Gyorgy Ligeti After watching 2001, I realized I wanted the trip to last longer. Off I went to the holy shrine of Ameoba Records (in Berkeley) and found a load of Ligeti, the composer the spacy-pre-ambient music in the movie. (This week's subtheme is -- Cool people named Gyorgy). Not knowing where to start, I picked the one with a great cover -- the Escher print, "Concave and Convex." As I listened to the music, I thought of Stravinsky. In fact, "Ramifications" seems to be almost a tribute to "Rite of Spring," which was composed in 1947(?). The orchestra played out the bizarre connections of Ligeti's mathematically oriented pieces. Many of them sounded like ripples in water. Others sounded like the gradual build up and destruction of syncopations. I thought about modern ambient like the Aphex Twin. What would Richard James do with an orchestra? Or maybe a better question is what would Ligeti do with sampling equipment. I could just see that the work of synchronizing an orchestra would not be as easy as timing some MIDI or micro-editing some wave forms. But the reality of the performance might lend some coincidental pos-cidents (a positive-accident). Ligeti was truly ahead of his time. He was a Columbus (minus the raping and pillaging) charting the new world of atmospheric compositions. @ Alan Eyzaguirre ake@lighthouse.com http://www.lighthouse.com/~ake/DepthProbe/index/home.html ------------------------------ Topic No. 4 Date: Thu, 11 Aug 94 2:07 +0300 From: Gerardus <72704.731@compuserve.com> To: mochin@nysernet.ORG Subject: Creation - Continued... Message-ID: <11080094020708@HUJIVMS> To One and All... To Jan Shepher and her Spirit! First of all Jan, thank you for your response to my questions. ... and let me tell you; I agree in "general" with your answers. Here and there however, I respectfully differ with your answers and I would like to go over some of these points... I appreciate that you go all out to answer when and wherever you can. I have worked 41 years myself and I remember what it means to be bussssy... Here is the first point: It's about the spelling of the word God ---> G-d My question was why? Jan: It is a tradition to help us remember the infinite gulf between Him and us. Also it is a way of showing respect. Many traditions do not write the full holy name on any document that may find its way into the trash. Gerardus: ! tradition ! Is not doing things the traditional way hanging on to the past? Shouldn't we try to live in the present? The past was good for whatever it was then!... and now we move on forwards. Isn't it time to forget about traditions and the past? We ought to step into every new day with a new and fresh outlook. Brand new every day, every life... Are not traditions the very cause for disagreements and war in our world? --------------------------------------- Jan: ... to help us remember the infinite gulf between Him and us. Gerardus: ! the infinite gulf ! Don't you think that if this gulf is "infinite" no Human Being will ever bridge it!! I feel that God or The Light LIVES within us and IS us, either in an enlightened manner or in a manner not so enlightened. As far as I intuit or know; there is only God or the Light. We are God's Instruments if you like. And if it was not for the closeness of God we wouldn't be able to do anything. God to me is as close as my Heart/Soul/Mind or whatever you want to call it. To experience God is my every day pleasure for it is the very life within me. My God is Mankind/Alienkind/Spacebrotherkind and every big and little thing in the visible and/or invisible universe. I feel that God or The Light IS its own Creation. As a matter of fact: I see NO GULF AT ALL! Some people even suggest nowadays that God is the "quantum foam" some scientist speak about and they call it the "Implicate" or "Unmanifested" Reality of the Universe. Creation and we are the Explicate, the Expressed or manifested aspects of this Infinite Energy. ---------------------------------- Jan:... Also it is a way of showing respect. Many traditions do not write the full holy name on any document that may find its way into the trash. Gerardus: Do you think that God is pleased by/with our respect? Is God that insecure that God needs our respect or approval? Do you feel that these people (and their traditions) throw God in the Trash Can, because God's name is on a piece of paper or on an Internet Post? To me this sounds very silly indeed, but I have no objections if people demonstrate their silliness. ------------------------------------------------------ Jan: ... we can labour as co-creators and "earn" the infinite good stored up for us. Gerardus: ... to "earn" the infinite Good...? This is puzzling me. In your last post you did not answer this question. Or did I miss it altogether? In my view: by being what we are, we become what we must! IOW: the reward is in the "doing", in the "living" !! I do not feel that I have to earn any infinite good because I'm already "living it right now! Like David said: I'm already on the Welfare List as far as the Universe is concerned. The good of the Universe is infinitely shared among those who are capable of receiving it, in any which way, and especially so, if they have learned how to pass it on to others. God helps those, who help themselves... ------------------------------------------ Jan: G-d created us to have abundance - G-d created us through compassionate, creative vision. Gerardus: Hmmm. Does this abundance have to be created by Mankind or by God? Is that what Project Mind is all about? Is not Project Mind - God working through all the co-creators called Human kind? I think so. Is not this the ONLY way God could do any work whatsoever, through or by means of Man? (Man includes any and all SpaceBeings and/or Invisible Entities as far as I'm concerned) You know Jan; I feel/intuit that we as Human Beings are co-creators and that the entire universe is full of co-creators. We as Mankind might even have been created by co-creators. Why not? Do not WE grow or breed or create in some fashion carrots, lettuce, potatoes, race horses and all kinds of other animals, bacteria, viruses and nuclear bombs? I feel that the entire universe is full of co-creators. The funny thing is: that the Creator itself never shows up at all, except through and by means of all these co-creators, big and small. Yes, even a mouse or an ant are co-creators. The Creative vision of God LIVES within all of these co-creators. It is the only way for this God to be alive anyplace I feel, what do you think/feel about that? I'm not sure whether you have time to answer all my above questions Jan. I hope however that you do not take my questions to seriously. ... and please do not work too hard. Life is a Celebration and the Infinite Good is all around you! A Universe full of it!

Message-ID: <11080094193000@HUJIVMS> Gerardus; In an earlier piece you said "... we are here mainly to see what it is like to be fooled by our own creative endeavors." This has bothered me ever since I read it. If the purpose of life is to be fooled, then does it really matter what we do with this life? Wouldn't a bigger endeavor (such as the one you have undertaken) just make you a bigger fool? Life must have more meaning. Also, if this is your major premise, do the rest of your ideas rest on top of this idea? Looking forward to your reply.

To Mind and Heart... ----> Tale of Two Forces - The Game of God <---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 2/6 SPACE IS FULL OF ENERGY VIBRATIONS. In other words: space is not nothingness or empty! It is full of energy vibrations that are not noticed or sensed by us. When we live in a human body, physical reality is the main vibration of the universal mind we are able to experience. This vibration or reality includes time and space for they are the most important aspects of the scenery or stage we perform on. Physical reality is a minuscule aspect of the infinite spectrum of energy vibrations we call the universal mind. However, since we as human beings have our existence in a physical reality at this moment in time, does not mean that our reality is the only one. Naturally, there are an infinite amount of realities. It's up to us to discover them! The UFOs and their inhabitants "emerge" from the invisible realities or cosmic energies that are invisible to us, but are surrounding us at all times! MATTER - THE BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION! Matter in and by itself as a solid substance, does not exist! Matter is an energy vibration of a specific type and frequency within a certain band or range of the spectrum. This frequency band contains all known or physical phenomena that take place in our physical universe. Some scientists think that 90% of our universe is missing. They probably come to this conclusion because they are only using 10% of their brain. Which is not all that bad, for most people use only 5% of what is available. Maybe the reason why all of us return to this earth repeatedly, is to learn to use the rest that is available. The universe is complete and not a thing is left out, except full understanding for Mankind at this period of our endeavor. Since mind or consciousness is all there is in the universe, the seeming expansion of the physical universe, is the expansion of our awareness or understanding expressed in physical phenomena. THE UNIVERSE OR UNIVERSAL MIND IS ONE! When we are able to experience all energy vibrations or dimensions of the universal mind, we will soon discover that the visible and the invisible universes have merged. All universes are really one! Since we as human beings experience certain vibrations only, we therefore experience certain aspects of the universe only! The aspects we experience form the physical reality or the Plane of Separation. All things seem to be separated from each other. Physical reality is basically an illusion! What we see is not really there as a solid substance. We have purposely chosen to experience this illusionary reality by living lives as human beings! Life as a human being therefore is a celebration! We are the Essence of the universe and we have succeeded in creating a "vehicle" for our Mind/Soul to live in that allows us to experience specific aspects of our creation only! It's an absolutely astounding achievement! However, when Godbeings separate themselves from their own Wholeness, they invariably get lost in their creation or dream! This is what has happened to mankind! We are aspects of our own universal mind and at this moment we dream that we are separate entities living in a body that is subjected to time and space. In order for us to return to our Source or Wholeness, we must awaken and attain Cosmic Consciousness. Also called; The Christ or Buddha Consciousness. We are this Consciousness, but do not know it! Eventually all human beings will attain the levels of awareness necessary to promote themselves to the higher levels of consciousness or mind. Yes, by all means remember that we're not here because we have sinned and have been kicked out of Heaven. We are here to experience our physical reality! TRAVELING FROM THOUGHT TO THOUGHT. Since we are consciousness or mind and all things are different vibrations of mind; we should be able to travel from vibration to vibration - or from thought to thought. This will show us that time and space are psycho- physical conditions and are created by the vehicles we live in! Traveling from thought to thought has been mastered by the UFO Intelligences. Their crafts enable them to go any place in the universe they can think of. They are the free Godbeings of the universe and the highest among them, do not even need a vehicle or craft to go anywhere. Their thought will place them wherever they are needed. They do not really travel! ABOUT THE DIMENSIONS OR DENSITIES OF THE UNIVERSE. We live in a universe; that has at least seven 7 dimensions or densities. Human beings at this moment are living in the third dimension or density and transcendence to the fourth is just around the corner for some of us. Most UFO Forces occupy the fifth and sixth density and the highest levels or densities are occupied by the Great Consciousnesses who are in command or control of specific areas of the universe or Universal Mind in Action. The highest level of all is the very Source in Bliss enjoying the Infinite Knowingness that All is Well and always will be! It is ALL and always was! ------------------------------------------ To be Continued on Aug. 18/94... So long for now... Light... Love... and Laughter!

Message-ID: <11080094225921@HUJIVMS> Hello list members, Creation continued... Our bodies are created from two things - matter and form. Form (the imprint of the "image of G-d") enables us to accomodate energy (the energy of life - light). It makes us receptacles for the energy G-d gives us. That energy is intelligence and we can contain, express and expand our intelligence. It is the second component of essence, form, which gives us our unlimited potential by enabling us to accomodate the energy of life. Once the material body is imprinted with the "image of G-d" it becomes a reflection of the image of G-d. G-d created us to have abundance - G-d created us through compassionate, creative vision. We who wish to be co-creators must have the same desire to give. To have this desire we have to be separated from Him and the energy of life but yet remember Him. Our unconscious must yearn to return to its original infinite state, so these vague memories are etched in us. Without them we would have no desire. The "desire to give" endows the body with form because it motivates us to receive. Our purpose is giving, the means receiving. To give we must receive. Once the body receives energy from G-d we have mind which can contain, expand and express intelligence. We use this intelligence to adapt to cosmic reality. Since we are co-creators we are meant to use our energy for compassionate creative vision in the realization of the cosmic plan. The plan is that G-d makes what is spiritual into a physical world and we transform this physical world into a spiritual reality. Each of us must determine our specific purpose (destiny) in this transformation process by contacting the deeper layers of our essence where our individuality lies. Once we know what our specific purpose is, we fulfil it through effective transmission of influence. We receive from above to extend influence below. The more we open to impressions, the more bounty is transmitted through us. The larger the conduit we represent the richer we become. This does not come from what we keep, but from being the site through which increasingly larger amounts of energy flow. When we fill our reason for being through effective transmission of influence by transforming the world, we ourselves are transformed. Also, we fulfil our desire to be co-creators by transforming this physical world into a spiritual one and in so doing we become closer to rejoining Him. The validity of our selected aim is measured by the degree of self realization resulting from the attainment of the aim. This is our reward. If we don't come close to our specific purpose then we don't reach the level of self realization that we could have and we don't fulfil our potential. This of course effects everyone and the fate of the world because we haven't fulfilled our part in compassionate, creative world transformation. Creativity: The ardent essence-desire to receive from above in order to extend influence below - to become a channel. - T.

Message-ID: <12080094013038@HUJIVMS> Jan, > Our unconscious must yearn to return to its original infinite state, > so these vague memories are etched in us. Not meaning to pick on you over one form, or use, of language and perhaps expressing my view backwards (forward in the rearview mirror of life?), or, my desire to return what I had a bit retentively, I have a problem with this statement and several like it in many messages on this mailng list. I take issue with the possibility of an interpretation of the concept of our infinite state, as one which is G-d. Language make it difficult to state that one believes we return to be of G-d eternally, one interpretation, perhaps, of infinite state, from an interpretation which identifies us as being gods, being infinite state. Does anyone doubt the significance of this difference? I ask that the distinction be made clear in such statements in a way perhaps more reserved than my writing, here. The statement is also a bit bothersome to me owing to an apocolyptic sense to it. I read in it, in the context, as possibly expressing a desire to reach the afterlife in a way which desires the end of life through death. I presume you desire to be brought before G-d without experiencing death and attempt to meet the expectation you feel are necessary to achieve this possibility. > Each of us must determine our specific purpose (destiny) in this > transformation process by contacting the deeper layers of our essence > where our individuality lies. Is this what Gerardus refers to as contemplating our navels? What do you believe is necessary to "know thyself" in this way? > Also, we fulfil our desire to be co-creators by transforming this > physical world into a spiritual one and in so doing we become closer > to rejoining Him. > > This of course effects everyone and the fate of the world because we > haven't fulfilled our part in compassionate, creative world > transformation. You seem to be non-committal to One Soul? One shared destiny you make clear. How are one shared destiny and the commitment to One Soul so different?

Gerardus: >It's about the spelling of the word G-d. My question was why. >Jan: >It is a tradition to help us remember the infinite gulf between Him and us. Also it is a way of showing respect. Many traditions do not write the full holy name on any document that may find its way into the trash. >Gerardus: ! tradition ! Is not doing things the traditional way hanging on to the past? Shouldn't we try to live in the present? The past was good for whatever it was then!... and now we move on forwards. Isn't it time to forget about traditions and the past? We ought to step into every new day with a new and fresh outlook. Brand new every day, every life... Are not traditions the very cause for disagreements and war in our world? Traditions are good if they show us how to emulate the creator, to have love and respect for the value of life (all of creation and the creator). It is "lack" of love and respect for life which causes problems. ------------------------------------------- >Gerardus: >! the infinite gulf ! Don't you think that if this gulf is "infinite" no Human Being will ever bridge it!! I feel that God or The Light LIVES within us and IS us, either in an enlightened manner or in a manner not so enlightened. As far as I intuit or know; there is only God or the Light. >My God is Mankind/Alienkind/Spacebrotherkind and every big and little thing in the visible and/or invisible universe. I feel that God or The Light IS its own Creation. As a matter of fact: I see NO GULF AT ALL! >Some people even suggest nowadays that God is the "quantum foam" some scientist speak about and they call it the "Implicate" or "Unmanifested" Reality of the Universe. Creation and we are the Explicate, the Expressed or manifested aspects of this Infinite Energy. There is an infinite gulf between Him and us - He is complete, we are incomplete; we have misery and suffering, He has ecstacy. The creator created the cosmos (existence) which is what we call the creator "manifest". Then there is the creator "unmanifest" who we cannot know at all. The only aspect of the creator we know is existence. There are other aspects of the creator which he has not manifested. We cannot know these. We are made of "lack". This separates us from the creator because he has no lack, he is complete. While we receive light from G-d, it is only a portion of the light. Also, the chaotic state the world is in and the suffering we have is due to the separation between Him and us. Remembering this gulf reminds us of these things and that our purpose is to compassionately and creatively help one another and to transform the world into a spiritual reality. ---------------------------------- >Jan:... Also it is a way of showing respect. Many traditions do not write the full holy name on any document that may find its way into the trash. >Gerardus: Do you think that God is pleased by/with our respect? Is God that insecure that God needs our respect or approval? Do you feel that these people (and their traditions) throw God in the Trash Can, because God's name is on a piece of paper or on an Internet Post? To me this sounds very silly indeed, but I have no objections if people demonstrate their silliness. The respect is in the doing. It is a way of showing that we respect the value of all life. It is us who need to remember respect. We do it to help us remember to have love and respect for the value of life. ------------------------------------------------------ >Jan: ... we can labour as co-creators and "earn" the infinite good stored up for us. >Gerardus: ... to "earn" the infinite Good...? This is puzzling me. In your last post you did not answer this question. Or did I miss it altogether? In my view: by being what we are, we become what we must! IOW: the reward is in the "doing", in the "living" !! I do not feel that I have to earn any infinite good because I'm already "living it right now! >Like David said: I'm already on the Welfare List as far as the Universe is concerned. The good of the Universe is infinitely shared among those who are capable of receiving it, in any which way, and especially so, if they have learned how to pass it on to others. God helps those, who help themselves... Yes, this is how you earn it - by passing it on to others. Our purpose is to compassionately and creatively help one another and by so doing transform the world into a spiritual reality. By doing this we earn the good stored up for us. The result is self knowledge or self realization - we ourselves are transformed. ------------------------------------------ >Jan: G-d created us to have abundance - G-d created us through compassionate, creative vision. >Gerardus: Hmmm. Does this abundance have to be created by Mankind or by God? Is that what Project Mind is all about? Is not Project Mind - God working through all the co-creators called Human kind? I think so. Is not this the ONLY way God could do any work whatsoever, through or by means of Man? (Man includes any and all SpaceBeings and/or Invisible Entities as far as I'm concerned) G-d has already created it. It remains for us to realize it. The abundance is already here, but we don't see (know) it. This is because what we see depends on our level of being. Our state of consciousness (how much of reality we have adapted to) corresponds to the different levels of materiality. Our consciousness has not reached a level that would correspond with the higher more spiritual levels of matter. That is, we are not at a level where we can learn the secrets of nature. Right now matter gives expression to lack and obscures the spiritual side of life. Many people in the world due to illusion and/or adversity do not see the spiritual side of life. Also there is much illness and suffering. We all live at different levels. Some live in different levels of distraction and others in different levels of consciousness. G-d wants us all to have unlimited abundance. Our purpose as co-creators is to bring this to realization. The way to do this is to learn the secrets of nature so that we can gain mastery over matter. Project Mind intends to do just this. To learn the secrets of nature so that we can gain mastery over matter and produce material abundance. When this happens matter will express it's spiritual side - abundance. With unlimited material abundance everyone will have what they need for physical survival and everyone will be free to develop spiritually to their full potential. Material abundance also provides the necessary conditions for the coming of the Messiah and the beginning of the Millenium - the 1,000 years of peace, when we will reach our spiritual potential. _____________________________________ >Gerardus: I feel that the entire universe is full of co-creators. The funny thing is: that the Creator itself never shows up at all, except through and by means of all these co-creators, big and small. Yes, even a mouse or an ant are co-creators. The Creative vision of God LIVES within all of these co-creators. It is the only way for this God to be alive anyplace I feel, what do you think/feel about that? Yes, this is how the creator manifests, through all living things. However the potential of each living organism is determined by its level of being. __________________________________________ >Gerardus: I'm not sure whether you have time to answer all my above questions Jan. I hope however that you do not take my questions to seriously. ... and please do not work too hard. I always make time to answer, like everyone sometimes it just takes longer to answer than other times. While I do take life seriously, that does not preclude enjoying life.

Message-ID: <12080094075404@HUJIVMS> To One and All... Hail to Ron R. Ron: > In an earlier piece you said "... we are here mainly to see what it is like to be fooled by our own creative endeavors." This has bothered me ever since I read it. If the purpose of life is to be fooled, then does it really matter what we do with this life? Wouldn't a bigger endeavor (such as the one you have undertaken) just make you a bigger fool? Life must have more meaning. Also, if this is your major premise, do the rest of your ideas rest on top of this idea? << Gerardus: Glad you jump right in there Ron, for it sure looks like a pretty wild statement. I like to expand upon it and here I go: First of all; the word "mainly" is a poor choice! I should have used 'part' 'aspect' or 'also'. Sorry about that, however an answer is still required! Answer:: Gerardus: The Creator in its infinite Wisdom, infinite Power and Creative Endeavors and Possibilities manifests (manifested) itself and two of these possibilities are Gerardus and Ron. What I'm trying to say is; that the Creator in its infinite wanderings and capriciousness creates images of itself, and as you might guess; two of these are You and I. So who are we? In my view we are the "Creator's Image" or "Duplicate in Human Form" and we, as mankind upon this earth, are a new adventure of the Creator. This Human-Adventure starts all anew and all of us are innocent and ignorant from the beginning, but ready to discover or rediscover Who or What we really are. This takes many lifetimes in my view and some of us work at it a bit harder than others. I, in my simple mindedness, have discovered, in my way, that I am the Creator as a Human Being at this time. So, I have come to the conclusion that I am the very Creative Force of the Universe as a Human Being and live in an illusionary reality that has fooled Human Beings from the beginning of time. Naturally it would! For we are but "beginners" in this game of Hide and Seek. The Creator hides within its Creation (and/or Man) and Man discovers who or what he really is and becomes more and more aware to eventually unites with its Higher Self. Time however is an illusionary reality and in actuality we are all One all ready! After living in this Human Condition for many lifetimes, I have finally found out or discovered Who or What I really am! I have what is called a state of mind that could be called "Self-Realization". I realize Who or What I am. I realize that I am the Self! Naturally, this does not make me any better or more than anybody else!!! Please remember this... The only difference is, that I know that I'm not my Name, my Face, my Address, whatever I have, or whatever I know. I am none of this! I am the Creator in Human Form writing to Ron at this particular moment. I am the Creator in Human Form functioning as a writer! As the Creator I have to live in some kind of form in order to write, for I cannot just stick my hand out of the sky and write. Not even if I wanted to! I do this by means of Humans Beings and other kinds of Beings! ---------------------------------------------------- Here is your sentence or question: If the purpose of life is to be fooled, then does it really matter what we do with this life? Gerardus' answer: The Purpose of Life is not --> to be fooled! The purpose of life is to awaken!! I Don't think that I said that the purpose of life is to be fooled... All of mankind is in a process of awakening and sooner or later we will all realize Who or What we really are and have a good laugh at ourselves, for we understand then that the predicament we are in, of whatever size, nature or duration, is the predicament we have "put" ourselves in! We as the very Universal Creator have split ourselves from the One into the Many, and as soon as we gather enough awareness as one of the Many, we try to answer the question: Why am I here? Well, I have been able to answer it and I find that my answer agrees with the answers of many other people in the past, the present and naturally in the future. Not only that... it satisfies my wondering and/or curious mind. I know now, who or what I am and what I am here for! I am here to awaken, grow in awareness and while I'm doing that I'm also here to try to share my "awakeness" (however small) with others. All of us are the Creator in hiding and nobody ever gets lost forever, for all of us belong. We are "The First Cause" and we have created a 'cause and effect' reality (Time and Space) in which we are lost temporarily. Some of us however know who we are and we also know that all is well with the world for the game we play is the "Play of the Creator in Hiding" and be puzzled for a while as man, as to why we are here. etc. etc. Naturally life has more meaning than to be fooled. I did not say that this was the meaning of life. To be fooled is an aspect of life. And as far as my ideas are concerned; I try to share some of them in order to get in contact with others so that we may have some kind of dialogue that enriches some of us I hope. It certainly enriches me! I am on earth in order to learn and share and my purpose is to grow and grow in awareness or consciousness. To eventually leave this world behind me for good , for I will have lived my last lifetime. (Like the man people call Jesus the Christ) I do not know whether I have answered your question to YOUR satisfaction, but if not, we'll continue the next time. I also have about 4MB of writing that I issue as Shareware and it deals with hundreds of questions and answers of all kinds. I started to write about 16 years ago and most of it is on one 3.5" IBM disk. You are welcome to enquire about it if you like. Greetings to all... Thank you for responding Ron...! Light...

To Jan and her sincerity... I'm sure you worked long and hard Jan, thank you for your efforts. Sometimes however we work too long and within two paragraphs we contradict ourselves. So, in order to show this I have selected a paragraph or two here and there of your post and I also would like to show the differences between what you think you know, and what I think I know. There are a few noticeable points here. However, this does not mean that either you or I are wrong, for Truth is an individual thing! ------------- Jan: There is an infinite gulf between Him and us - He is complete, we are incomplete; we have misery and suffering, He has ecstasy. Jan: The creator created the cosmos (existence) which is what we call the creator "manifest". Then there is the creator "unmanifest" who we cannot know at all. The only aspect of the creator we know is existence. There are other aspects of the creator which he has not manifested. We cannot know these. We are made of "lack". This separates us from the creator because he has no lack, he is complete. While we receive light from G-d, it is only a portion of the light. Gerardus: Comment! We have what we focus upon! Focus upon suffering and misery and you'll have it! This is a lesson to be learned by the masses, I don't think that they will ever learn it, when you give them abundance that is created by others! -------------------------------- Gerardus: First paragraph ---> He has ecstasy. Second paragraph you say: Then there is the creator "unmanifest" who we cannot know at all. Now... if we cannot know the unmanifested Creator, how do you know that *HE* is in ecstasy?? What YOU have been told in the past and have read about, you possibly repeat here, and it contradicts itself. I know that Life, God, the Creator and what have you are quite the paradox, but this paradoxical statement is not paradoxical enough, for I can see right through it. It just does not jive... =================================================================== Jan: Also, the chaotic state the world is in and the suffering we have is due to the separation between Him and us. Jan: Remembering this gulf reminds us of these things and that our purpose is to compassionately and creatively help one another and to transform the world into a spiritual reality. Gerardus: The world has always been in some kind of chaotic state for the world is a school in which we learn from the states we experience. The world is exactly what it should be in order to function as this school. It is a school for Consciousness. It is a school for the Unconscious Creator within us to become CONSCIOUS or AWARE. You say, that we know nothing of the Unmanifested and I say that the Unmanifested is an Unconsciousness Force that by means of its Dream or Creation becomes conscious in the created. You and I and the rest of Mankind and other Universal Beings or Godbeings. So the Unmanifested becomes slowly known by all Universal Beings for it becomes conscious within them. They get to know their Unconscious-Self as a Conscious Being! Alive and well... and forever learning more! Gerardus: Another thing: I SEE no gulf! So, the gulf I do not see cannot remind me of these things. Whatever they are. Gerardus: ... to compassionately and creatively help one another and to transform the world into a spiritual reality. (this is what you said) Now, the first part of this sentence I agree with, but the second part is not as I see it. The world is supposed to be a Physical Reality and as far as you are concerned and know; it is created by G-d for us to live here, create abundance and get to know Him. In my opinion: The Physical Reality is a specific creation or reality that has been created by THEM that live there! It is not a creation of some G-d! The Creator within the people that live on this world has manifested their (or its) thoughts. What you see around you, are OUR thoughts in physical reality. I agree that we should try to help the people of the world to create a better and more refined Physical Reality, but not to transform the world into a spiritual reality. We have left the Spiritual Reality and have come down here in order to create something different, something extra: the physical reality. We are doing this in order to enlarge or expand our (The Creator's) Consciousness. We are the Creator as Physical Beings and we are here to create a physical reality of great beauty! Well, we are working on it, but since we live in time, it takes time. If you and I could project ourselves, let's say a million years ahead of today; we would find that our physical reality is the most beautiful "Disney World" you could not possibly dream of at this time. I do not think that we have left our safe heaven, the spiritual realm, and then start a physical realm to make or transform it back into a spiritual realm. Makes no sense to me! ------------------------------ Gerardus: You know Jan... I feel that you and I really speak about the same "end-result" but in the processes of realizing this; we go and speak our different ways. You like your version - I like mine! ---------------------------------------------------------- Project Mind!? How are we going to produce this abundance and not pollute the world any further? The countries or people that have some form of abundance already now (including myself) create the most pollution. You know I'm doubtful about the whole Project. You see, in the world there are two forces at work. The Market-Force and the Share-Force. At this particular time the Market-Force has created the affluence and the possible abundance in the future of people in the western countries. And you know, these Market-Forces are the Negative Expression of the Creator. (The religions call them the Devil or Satan.) The entire world is almost completely under the domination of these Market Forces. (The banks, the insurance companies, the Cable TV companies and the medical associations) Are we going to continue to create more and more affluence by means of these Market-Forces?? Are we going to become totally dominated as slaves in the long run in order to create material abundances?? And maybe speculate that people THEN!... are ready to look at the spiritual?? Very very risky Jan! I'm very doubtful of that! Is there some kind of statistic that says that rich people are more spiritual? Isn't there a saying that it is as difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom as it is for a camel to creep through the eye of a needle? ---------------------------- BTW: you only have admitted to the good of the Traditions. The not so good of it outweighs the good by far from my point of view. And besides. Good or Bad... it is still living in the past.

I take issue with the possibility of an interpretation of the concept of our infinite state, as one which is G-d. Language make it difficult to state that one believes we return to be of G-d eternally, one interpretation, perhaps, of infinite state, from an interpretation which identifies us as being gods, being infinite state. Does anyone doubt the significance of this difference? I ask that the distinction be made clear in such statements in a way perhaps more reserved than my writing, here. Yes, I should have been more precise. Will make the meaning more clear - that the infinite state is to be with G-d eternally. Mike: >The statement is also a bit bothersome to me owing to an apocolyptic sense to it. I read in it, in the context, as possibly expressing a desire to reach the afterlife in a way which desires the end of life through death. I presume you desire to be brought before G-d without experiencing death and attempt to meet the expectation you feel are necessary to achieve this possibility. Again, this context could be read into it, so I will expand next time. _______________________________________________ > Jan: > Each of us must determine our specific purpose (destiny) in this transformation process by contacting the deeper layers of our essence where our individuality lies. >Mike: >Is this what Gerardus refers to as contemplating our navels? What do you believe is necessary to "know thyself" in this way? May be what Gerardus means. Other than the fact that we are all here to creatively and compassionately help one another, determining how we should specifically do this poses a problem. Our individuality lies in the deepest core of our essence. Our social conditioning and distraction caused by the physical world hides us from ourselves. A "passionate desire" to know can lead to intuitive insight that bears some truth within it. If something is so important to you that you would give your heart and soul and all your means to it you've found it. You then put your mind to the service of your aim and your heart commits you to it. ____________________________________________________ > Jan: > Also, we fulfil our desire to be co-creators by transforming this physical world into a spiritual one and in so doing we become closer to rejoining Him. > > This of course effects everyone and the fate of the world because we haven't fulfilled our part in compassionate, creative world transformation. >Mike: >You seem to be non-committal to One Soul? One shared destiny you make clear. How are one shared destiny and the commitment to One Soul so different? Each soul is of the same importance. Helping one soul is important. Helping more than one soul then is even of more value and more universal. The more universal a task is the more cosmically valid. Thanks for your comments.

Focus upon suffering and misery and you'll have it! Gerardus, I know you would like to see everyone truly happy. But this is not possible as long as there are haves and have nots. As long are there are haves and have nots there will be suffering in this world. I can never be truly happy as long as there are others suffering. And I don't think anyone else can be either. We're all in this together. >Gerardus: Now... if we cannot know the unmanifested Creator, how do you know that *HE* is in ecstasy? We do know what IS manifested, not what isn't. I feel and know that ecstasy. You do too, it shows in all your writings. >Gerardus: Another thing: I SEE no gulf! ... In your letter to Ron you say "I am on earth in order to learn and share and my purpose is to grow and grow in awareness or consciousness" "to eventually unite with Higher Self". I see a gulf because if there was no gulf there, there would be no reason for you to still be here, you would have reached total consciousness. I understand that you feel there is no gap, but something is missing since you are still growing and you are not complete. >Gerardus: I agree that we should try to help the people of the world to create a better and more refined Physical Reality, but not to transform the world into a spiritual reality. We are the Creator as Physical Beings and we are here to create a physical reality of great beauty! While I don't agree we are the Creator, I do agree, we are here to create a physical reality of great beauty. This is what transforming the world into a spiritual reality means. To make a physical world of great beauty we need to discover the more spiritual aspects of nature. We need to discover the secrets of nature to do this. We discover the secrets of nature when our state of consciousness (how much of reality we have adapted to) corresponds to higher levels of materiality. Here, we are saying the same thing but in a little different way. >Gerardus: Well, we are working on it, but since we live in time, it takes time. If you and I could project ourselves, let's say a million years ahead of today; we would find that our physical reality is the most beautiful "Disney World" you could not possible dream of at this time. With the growth in population, polluting technologies and proliferation of nuclear weapons do you really think the world has time? Do you think we have even 10 or 20 years? Why not have that beautiful "Disney World" right now? A few of us have already gone further than dreaming of it. This is what Project Mind proposes. >Gerardus: Project Mind? How are we going to produce this abundance and not pollute the world any further? The countries or people that have some form of abundance already now create the most pollution. At this particular time the Market-Force has created the affluence and the possible abundance in the future of people in the western countries. The entire world is almost completely under the domination of these Market Forces. Are we going to continue to create more and more affluence by means of these Market-Forces?? Are we going to become totally dominated as slaves in the long run in order to create material abundances? We are going to create abundance through holistic science and non-polluting technologies. You are confusing abundance with affluence. We are not going to create affluence. Holistic science will result in material abundance. Material abundance means we will all have everything we need for physical survival. There will be no affluence. There will be no competition. There will be no Market-Forces. >Gerardus: And maybe speculate that people THEN!.. are ready to look at the spiritual? If you have all the food, clothing and shelter you need and can travel anywhere you want when you want and the world is beautiful and unpolluted and you don't have to work to provide these things, what will you do with your time? >Gerardus: Very very risky... I say we're living the risk now and I don't think we have much time. We've got to have technologies that are non-polluting and holistic. I think Project Mind is our chance, not the risk. to the revelation of Mind, Jan ------------------------------ Topic No. 2 Date: Wed, 17 Aug 94 0:37 +0300 From: koopman@ctc.com (Michael G.

I would like to briefly comment on Jan's posting "creation continued (8/11)." Jan, I found your remarks to be insightful, and perhaps kabbalistically inspired. However, there are a few changes I would make... "It (form) makes us receptacles for the energy G-d gives us. That energy is intelligence..." (Jan) The word "intelligence" does not strike me as an adequate description of this energy. Instead, I would call it "or eloki," or "G-dly light." It is difficult, I think, to give a name to this essence at all. Perhaps this is because "or eloki" is a purely spiritual thing. Calling it "intelligence" is giving it a name so that we may relate to it on a more physical level. "Our unconscious must yearn to return to its original state..." (Jan) "Unconscious"? Nay, too Freudian for me. I'd call it "soul." "We fulfill our desire to be co-creators by transforming this physical world into a spiritual one..." (Jan) Our world can never become entirely spiritual (and non-physical). The reality of our world, and ourselves, is that we are both spiritual and physical. (Purely spiritual beings do not reside on this earth). However, using our "or eloki," we may elevate the physical. Thus our task in co-creation is the elevation of the physical into the realm of the spiritual. The physical (i.e. the body, and physical acts that are necessary for the sustenance of the body) becomes a tool, a means for the spiritual (i.e. the soul). Thank you for your enriching posting. Please take my comments with a few grains of salt :).

What do you believe is necessary to "know thyself" in this way? ----------------- Gerardus: My navel has been the talk of this Network and it finally feels the urge to speaks up for itself! This is what it says: Let it be known that the human being I am an aspect of, is not particularly impressed with my importance. I hardly ever get cleaned and certainly never meditated upon or over. As a matter of fact I have lost track of my purpose but as sure as Gerardus knows how to contemplate without me, I am as equally sure that at one time I was mighty important to him. This to me is sufficient and I'll leave it at that. I wish people would leave me alone! After all I have been retired for more than 66 years and do not believe in Network Gossip! Thank you! -------------------- To this I say; good for you navel. So be it! ------------------------------------------------ Gerardus Speaks: (Please be quiet navel...) Since Consciousness (or God) is the Source of Thought, it is therefore the Source of Creation for Thinking is Creating! Since there is no limit to the diversity of Thought, there is no limit to the diversity of Creation. The physical reality of planet Earth is but one of the many Creations of Consciousness and it is a very special realm, for within this region the Creators or Thinkers who live there and have their being, are responsible for their environment. Few do know this and many live in an illusionary State of Mind for they are not aware that they are the very Creators of their own circumstances. All Human Beings are "images or duplicates" of Consciousness (or God) and the conditions they live under are the reflections of the State of Awareness they have attained by their own efforts. All Human Beings started out as innocent and ignorant participants of this Creative Endeavor and slowly work toward higher States of Awareness. Eventually all Human Beings come to the full realization that the entire Human Race is actually One Being. This One Being is a "Specific Aspect" of the Unbroken Wholeness we call Consciousness (or God). There are an infinite amounts of other "Specific Aspects" of this Consciousness (or God) and they occupy other dimensions and/or other worlds! ----- .. Are there question from the back row there...? ""Is your navel an aspect of you Gerardus... in the same way... as you are an Aspect of God?"" - Answer: This is so! However, in an Unbroken Wholeness we cannot really speak of aspects. We all are Each Other and One! We are One Energy out of which Human Beings (navels and all) appear and disappear like subatomic wavicles. As a matter of fact we are and we are not... simultaneously! Thank you for your attention... and please... no more questions for today. Light... Love... and Laughter!

To Mind and Heart... ----> Tale of Two Forces - The Game of God <---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 3/6 WHAT ARE UFOs? All during the ages of human existence the UFO phenomena have been a part of our life. They are even mentioned in the Bible where they are called flaming chariots. Some people might have heard the stories about Ezekiel and his journeys. Many of us haven't always been aware of their existence however and what they really are, was so far beyond our understanding that our wildest guess would still be miles off target. Most likely UFO lights or happenings were taken for lightning, acts of the Gods or for some other simple minded explanations. Nowadays however, a few people in the world are coming very close to understanding who and what UFOs and their Beings truly are. Some of them are the Keepers or Guardians of the world and they have been instrumental in its creation, as well as they have been and are the genetic engineers of the bodies we as mankind live in. For ages we have come to some planet to have our physical experiences as spiritual or mental entities. There are also other UFO Beings, who in their turn have influence over the population of the earth by trying to dominate them and try to make the whole earth their dominion of slavery! There are thus basically two different kinds of forces that have direct influence on the population of the earth at this time. More than two different kinds of UFO Forces however, visit or have been encountered on our planet. THE MASSES ARE KEPT COMPLETELY IN THE DARK. Many governments have known for about 50 years what the UFO phenomena and their forces are really all about. These institutions however keep many, many things hidden from the people. So, the masses of man are completely in the dark as to who or what these "things" are and what they are doing! The most popular media suggest, that they are beings from other planetary systems that visit here. Space travelers! How convenient! Well, let's be bold and tell the truth. The UFO phenomena are the activities of alien beings or entities and this alien presence is two-fold! There are beings who engage themselves with serving mankind, and there are beings who keep themselves busy with dominating and exploiting humanity. These two forces are in comp
