Met-aTomic Bridgetroll: the Charge for Passing On

Special Supplement to the Mother Terasu series "What Is Christ Consciousness?"

Wherein we learn how to understand the reality of the things we "know", creating space for the accommodation of "unknown" realities.

The principles behind UFO-Antigravity-Timetravel-Teleportation-Alien Technology-Beam Technology -Orgone/Pranic Energy-The Unified Field etc.?

In order to understand the relation between "psyche" and "physics" (classically posed as "mind" and "matter") it is necessary to understand what physics is-not tease apart an analytic definition of "psyche". After all, it's physics which is taken for granted as somehow already known, and is therefore overlooked in any attempt to approach what appears to be its unknown "opposite number".

All energy, matter, forces and fields comprising the physics of material expression, are functions of an abstract geometry. The discipline of physics has tended toward the expression of its elements in terms of pure geometry, and quantum mechanics only furnished a momentary break in the continuity maintained by general relativity when it detoured into statistical probability. That continuity was resumed when emphasis shifted to gauge theory, and the resolving allure of symmetries.

Despite the notorious "fuzziness" of quantum states, they're expressed in terms of spin, interval, charge and moment which are in fact quantized, i.e. assigned discrete properties - integer and half-integer values, rational fractions and ratios or non-constructable numbers functioning as constants. Though physics may not order itself macroscopically in takeout, styrofoam geometries as with Kepler's harmonics of planetary orbits styled after Pythagorean intervals, it exhibits a deep relationship with ideal properties in the Euclidean sense. Mapped schematically, it displays the types of integral values generated through those most schematic of "solid objects", the sacred polyhedra.

These stable lineaform volumes gestated into being on the basis of an "organically'' frugal Noesis (through parity, axial rotation and mutually inverse symmetries) dice up their common internal spaces by angles, axes and edges so as to render the kinds of submultiples and constants operating in the abstract harmonies of elementary particles and fields. The counterchanging equivalents of particles and fields may not show in overt geometries or radial symmetries, from the trace-impressions registered across the uniform perceptual plane; by mass, weight, coupling constant, spin angular momentum and charge they may seem quite distinct. Yet these "differences" can testify to a deeper identity when their elements are schematically analyzed and rearranged.

The plotted relations of quarks and leptons on a horizontal plane, displaced vertically proportional to their respective charges, polarize the angular coordinates of an ideal cube; the requirement of square-summing the "real" and "imaginary" parts of a field specifying spin states of particles and resonances in measuring angular momentum, plots a straight line in the Regge trajectory; the rotational identity of particles is established by the abstract operation of right-angled reflection through the space of "strangeness" and "isospin" mirrors, producing highly defined symmetry correlations. In the same way, conceptual rotations performed on the double-valued quality of fermions (matter particles) in an abstract "super-space" with anti-commutators, demonstrates deep angular identity with the class of bosons or force-particles (showing that, in theory, one is the self-same entity as the other only working the hyper-dimensional "nightshift").

In "heterotic string" theory, the summary familial group designated E8xE8 reflects a generalization of crystal symmetries, so that a strictly "abstract" pattern produced by categorial requirements applies directly to the macroscopic (observable) order of structures. Euclidean geometries peep from the apparent chaos of nature as occasional observables, sifted from the scales of micro-information to obtain some reflection of the abstract form governing all contributory processes: salts, honeycombs, seashells, pinecones, galaxies, viruses. As above, so below; the planning boards of those macro-forms may be observed by purely noetic reconstruction. Thus the field of perception and the field of cognition bear a deep relation. Thetic geometries in purely abstract space inform real constituents of experience, and are inseparable from them.

Down the Quadratic Rabbit Hole: The Curious Cube of Space

The inevitable conclusion is built into the very process whereby the evidence is collected, at the quantum-physical level. Physicists have however been reluctant, by specialization, to perceive the ontologic implications of their routine operatives. In order for example to make their predictive determinations (i.e. locating an electron in a specified spin state at a given moment), measurement must give the differences in the phase fields - parallel and antiparallel components of spin etc.- rather than specify some "absolute" phase. The "real" and "imaginary" parts of the wave-amplitude must be indistinguishable, i.e. they are constitutionally incapable of being separated in some absolute way. This doesn't point up a defect intrinsic to our relative perspective (as if there were fixed "real" signs that our perspective prevents us from determining). Such measurements aren't constrained by the presence of observer-consciousness; they are functions of it. There is (what physicists call) a deep gauge symmetry at work in the fact that adopted conventions specify the "signs" of complementary values. This is equivalent to the phenomenological circumstance that - for example - the foreground and background projections of a Necker cube are an arbitrary convention of focal alignment.

The comparison is in fact profound, for it involves common elements that give away the game as to exactly what we're dealing with in all cases; the reason it hasn't been universally recognized to date, is that physicists have adopted their conventions as practical tools without wanting to, believing they could, or trying to know what they mean.

The common denominator in our comparative example above, is observer perspective (electrons always align with the axis of the observer, no matter what conventions are adopted or angles selected). The relative ascription of plus and minus signs (i.e. in defining oscillations of wave amplitudes) requires the component of SQRT(-1), i.e. the imaginary value i. All such operations enlist the quadratics of complex numbers, those having real and imaginary components perpendicularly plotted such that the "negative" domains of the horizontal x-axis are obtained by squaring the coordinate points of the vertical iy axis; such square-root relationship differs from the Cartesian coordinate-plane as a dimensional perpendicularity (i.e. a rotation of 90°). Such a dimensional relationship with respect to the negative, real-number axis resembles the mutually negating inversion-values belonging to the Necker cube, where the dimensionality of the object positively defined in "real" (preferred) space depends on the fluxing negative invagination occurring through that space (i.e. turning negative spaces, shaped by common boundaries, insideout relative to each other). The arbitrary "relief" of one set of coordinate planes or the other as a function of the "negative" potential assigning respective values, demonstrates the existence of those ambiguously-"doubling" coordinates as x= +/- sqrt(-1). They are interpretable as a function of i.

The value i represents "imaginary"; by implication it's the idea of the "thing", for it posits both a "thing" and its absence. It's easy for us to believe that a perceived "thing" exists out there, in itself independent of the observer; but the posited "absence" of a thing is self-evidently an expression of consciousness, an operation of the ideoform character of experience. That a "thing" and its negating obverse are given together in the Necker cube despite our tendency to align some angle of bias into preferential relief, shows by example the ideoform character of every object (surrounded as every object is with its inverse-focal envelope of coordinate negations, cf. "What Is Christ Consciousness?", Issue 6, Jan./Feb. 1990 pp. 17-18).

The relation of abstract to operative spaces, ideal symmetries to functionally differentiated forces, and real to imaginary numbers involves the same conclusion. All energies, forces and fields comprising the physics of material expression, are functions of an abstract geometry.

Abstract geometry, in turn, is a function of consciousness.

Thinking Along the Same Line

Is the latter a leap that may appear to be missing its median term? Consider: when we think of "geometry" we presuppose forms of spatial configuration, or the temporal harmonics of sound etc. Yet geometry in itself is neither "spatial" nor "temporal", but simply loans itself to such descriptions secondarily. It is first of all a purely noetic system of rates, ratios, intervals, agreements and alignments; its components exist independent of "things" measured, as an abstract typology constituting a strictly internal self-description with no required reference.

Consider now, the way we determine what's "conscious" in the first place. As a self-evidently aware expression, we note the power of abstraction (which gives us our self-reflective ability to recognize the presence of such consciousness). We further perceive that there are purely noetic or ideal/rational values that make use of and require that power of abstraction. By definition, for example, a line (i.e. ideal, or straightline) is a continuously self-displacing point magnitude - a non-dimensional entity - extended in a single dimension, i.e. length, such that no divergence arises in the superposition of any arbitrary segment on any other; and likewise, a "circle" describes a closed-plane curve all points of which are equidistant from a mutual point. Where does any such ideal figure appear in the rough macroscopy of nature? (except perhaps in the crop circles, if we accept them as "organic" phenomena!)

The terms of geometry, then, are fundamentally noetic (regardless whether they trace back in temporal origin to the Mother-of-Invention, practical necessity): they're ordered in the domain of the ideal, partaking in prime part of rationality, abstraction and therefore consciousness. If in fact we turn momentarily from the Mother-of-Invention to Mother Terasu (issue 5, Dec. '89 TNTC), we'll perhaps recall that the phases of elementary geometry are the spiritual residue or signature "background noise" of the primordial creative Event in consciousness, wherein the limitless potential of Limit is granted its cosmic day by extension of the absolute self-continuity of being (consciousness itself) toward differential qualities bestowing abstract homogeneity and unitive self-conformance through delimiting states and dimensions.

We know then what's "conscious"; and, so far, we can see that the spirit of "geometry" belongs fundamentally to that value.

Isn't, however, the signature of geometry derivable from physical characteristics? And if so, what exclusivity does "geometry" bear with respect to consciousness, in that case? Moreover, how does the sacrosanct symmetry and abstract/zero-sum purity of geometry as "mindform", justify itself in relation to the apparently disparate requirements of real physical operants, where effect issues as the result of non-zero sums, real time and space anisometrics, chirallic and vectorial preference etc.?

The answer is, first of all, that geometry bears no exclusivity to consciousness unless "nature" (the practical physics-of-things) is recognized as participating equally in and as expression of both that "geometry", and that consciousness. And this can only come about by recognizing that "real" space is abstract or noetic space, a value of consciousness, only masked or "broken" by the ontological angle at which the coordinates of cognition intersect that space. This latter proposition bears deep relation to, but is not the same as, the explanations of "symmetry breaking" in physics.

Thinking in Circles

As an example: the basic, electromagnetic field, by itself, describes the gauge symmetry (U)[1]) of a circle, i.e. it conserves symmetry when rotated about its center through any angle. Such a symmetry exists, so the physicists say, in abstract space. If all other forces and fields are variations on a single field, why do the strong, weak and gravitational fields exhibit dissimilar coupling constants, (behavioral properties, masses, ranges, etc.) and therefore participate in symmetry groups of different "shape"?

By analogy, we can "explain" that the sun - for example - shines its rays in all directions equally; and each ray, being an expression of the self-same coordinate field, tends to appear as bright and shine as far as any other ray. However, if we posit the interposition of a wall appearing from our left and extending midway into our visual range, we can assert that some rays did not in practice shine as bright or extend as far. This, crudely stated, is an analogy of "broken gauge symmetries". The symmetry of the light rays remains in theory, but it is masked or disrupted in practice so that some rays are intercepted and bounced back, never influencing the visual field. The "wall" in this example represents some extenuating "function", i.e. the tendency of states to seek their lowest energy-value etc. If an excited energy state acquires mass in the indeterminacy range, the total value of the forces is conserved in a different "packaging" which changes the functional results.
Initiated understanding, in order to establish the identity of "nature" and consciousness, asks what accounts for the appearance of those qualifying functions fatefully mitigating direct perception of the field of experience - as a whole - in terms of the perfect circular symmetry abstractly described by the ee field? what accounts for the incursion of those compromising functions which deform and squeeze a noetic magnitude, decomposing it into the variegated textures and cross-sectional crenatures of interference contributed to the broken-field running of the "real" world?

There's Always an Angle

We've already seen the "sinister" device; it's the innocuous "angle" that marries i (imagination) to the negative squares involved in kicking out a provisional term modeled in "positive" spacetime. As "imagination" (mind) related to the "negative-square domains" (Void, actually the double-negative of Diamond Vajra Void), we behold the instrumental evidence of Void-mind, introduced as a Trojan horse into the workaday world of physics. Nor is this just another "occult" attempt to find the mystagogic sign of spirit in every disposable "discovery" of science; for we've already seen the way in which these calculations necessarily imply the presence of consciousness (the Muse of Charles Muses presiding over this point, smilingly agrees!).

Angle is the specific culprit; angle gives the coefficient in the ratio of interaction between whole-value or integral magnitudes. Angle is itself a non-constructable (irrational) expression like Phi or Pi; irrational numbers can be generically represented in the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Angular coordinates involve a factor of infinite uncertainty (in the same way that irrational values are non-constructable expressions presiding as constants independent of the quantifiable terms of their operation). At precisely the locus of intersection setting the ratios of function (reflecting rates, values, intensities of interchange and threshold limits of transformation for finitizing processes) there appears the factor of 2Pi - the radius of a circle - establishing the angular degree of freedom in the phase dimension. That freedom is calculated as a uniform probability distribution between zero and 360 degrees, or 2Pi. Void-being appears as "angular uncertainty", installing the elasticity of a deep variable at the heart of integral quantities.

All factors participating in the crystal architectures of geometry are zeroed at the locus of their intercourse, as if they could be summed in transit to mutually canceling radii of a circle. At the same time, expressed as angle, the isotropism of zero-reference symmetry is masked in the operations that inevitably yield non-zero resultants. The common void-value of parts and processes shows up in the masked form of an angular slice from that equipotential circle; it signs in as a variable, the "sliding ring" bestowing the potential of an indeterminately-elastic shift in phase.

The same principle that fixes the constants of a system in any given case, bestows the adaptive variability of a basic/unpredictable value. "Angle" is the signature introduction of nonlinearity, the very factor which makes all calculation in complex space sensitively subject to initial conditions, at the same time belies the calculus of straight-line degradation lending to make of material reality an apparent one-way flow in the direction of inevitable entropy. Systems which are essentially non-linear (i.e. the "physical" system as a whole) are highly interactive, self-organizing and driven far-from-equilibrium: the conditions of a continuous self-renewal or basically negentropic (synergic) process. Macro-order "dissipative structures" which postpone the second law of thermodynamics by exporting entropy into the environment thus bleeding off perturbations, reflect the underlying principle on the scale of atomic oscillators; they belong to the class of secondary evidences.

The same factor that operates in the phenomenon of "clock-doubling" (i.e. additions in the angular degrees of freedom permitted a metronome motion etc.) whereby a system may jump in a series of finite moves to a state of basic unpredictability, accounts for the sudden puffing of massless particles into massive states, the inverse predictability of position and velocity, energy and time, etc. Again, such ambiguities aren't pylons marking the fragile boundaries of the relative observer- they' re functions of observer-consciousness, which when drawn into resolving focus state the deep connection between consciousness and the processes it calculates. For example, Bearden has been trying to show for years that calculable properties aren't added to a basic, independent particle but that the "particle" is constituted by the properties (implicitly, then, the contrastive measurements made on the particle are mutually inverse constituents of the particle-might as well ask for the "real" cube that underlies the fluxing phenomenon of the Necker cube).

The Doonnouse Is Thrown a Curve

Because complex numbers are those inherently separated by angles other than zero, any such term in spacetime calculations signals the factor of dimensional hyperangle, i.e. a rotation that operates not so much within a given dimensional framework but across the mirroring perpendicular planes marking dimensional horizons.

Curvature is generated by a description of its angular coordinates: from the "highly curved" quantum foam at the Planck scale to the spacetime curvature involved in gravity equations of mass/energy/acceleration, the factor of "infinite uncertainty" haunts each of the domains of particle physics and spacetime as an inherent operative of every straight-sum linear "cross-section". At each moment in the curvilinear history of each system, a boiling interaction of dimensionally-convergent processes takes place in the nonlinearity of the hyperangle through which it's generated.

As an example, the linear propagation of sinusoidal waveforms (familiarly, the signature of c and the proper limits of the lightcone) may be found to have scandalous progenitors. If the non-linearity of such processes as "clock-doubling" proceed by an exponent, then the exponential function itself has deep relationship with the staid periodicity of the sine. First of all, the exponential and its gradient are uniquely identical; the (e^x) curve is everywhere equal or proportional to its slope. However the shape of the periodic sine curve is also closely connected to its own gradient: plotting the sine-curve gradient produces sin x of 1/4 wavelength displacement to the right, i.e. a cosine curve; the cosine gradient generates another 1/2 wavelength shift to the right and in two more gradient operations the original curve is recovered. When, in complex number equations, x is given as the square root of a negative on the iy axis, (e^x) becomes a mix of sine/cosine waves; the straightsum surface of the sine, that impassable c, rides perpendicularly from the depths of a gradient in complex space.
Modern thinking along the same "line", so to speak, finds countless ways of apprehending passkeys to the roomy province of uncertainty, where there's plenty of leisure space and time to stretch between each blink of the straight-and-narrow.

Hidden within the "linearity" of the smooth curve is the infinitely irregular scaling of the "Koch-curve", an abruptly squaring dance of recedingly duplicate arcs (called by the exponent that whips self-similar systems such as clock-doubling to an indeterminate froth). Through such wavy carnival mirrors we detect the inevitable presence of a nonlinear infrastructure making of any, curvilinear interval a potential juncture in the mutual perpendicularity of dimensions, a kind of conjugate hotbed for what Bearden and others have come to call the potential "engineering of the vacuum". The holographically-recessive snaking upon itself of such a curve confers "infinite length" (the apotheosis of what it is to be a "line") since it must touch infinitely many more points than a regular curve; and that length approaches infinity in proportion as the length of a given "side" approaches zero. A "line" moving toward but never becoming a "surface" (owing to its zero-area perimeter) exists between dimensions (it is said to have fractional dimensionality). It functions as a doorway between.

Such description reveals one of the deep implications involved in the "curvilinear self-conformance" of the exponential gradient, the holographic mirroring and recessive self-similarity of the scaling factor, the "dust fractal" of the Cantor set hanging in the twilight between point and line etc.; it discloses a particular product of what has previously been observed about the character of all manifesting coordinates "borrowing against" the infinite self-conformance and absolute uniformity of consciousness, toward "finitizing" values. The implication involves the very means by which both being and becoming, formal stability and change are drawn forward into intimate coexistence as a function of the one standard, value and noumenon of Consciousness itself.

"What size do you want to be?", the caterpillar asked. "Oh, I'm not particular as to size", Alice hastily replied.

Extending the implications we've already drawn from the simple existence of "angle" and "curve", the generation of a curve through its angular coordinates necessarily smears any inherent specification of size and radius - i.e. scale - with respect to its exponents. The very uncertainty of position, velocity, time and energy belongs to the logarithm of curve and scale. Note for example that the process of "scaling" reproduces the whole through any arbitrary interval; this tacitly makes of any, randomly isolated locus a systemic universe possessing its own "scale variate" (i.e. the variable factor in probability-distribution). The whole may be measured, and thus organized, from the vantage of any such locus. Anywhere in the logarithmic relationship of curve and scale, is the axis of orientation.

That logarithm itself is spira mirabilis, the miraculous spiral; the geometric progression of the spiral radius and the arithmetic progression of its angle, generate all the mutually inverse ratios required for the musical scales and their tonal intervals, i.e. the perfect fourth and fifth: again, the fluxing specter of the Necker cube suggests itself, this time as illustration of the ghostly manner in which the coordinates of temporality (sound) and spatiality (spiral) simultaneously mirror and revolve between one another. Since the coordinate signatures of space and time counterchange through "spacetime singularities", it becomes evident that their functional configuration at either side of the divide is product of the random variable, the axial interposition of that locus which is its own "scale variate" - i.e. the observer.

The irrational function Phi, corresponding to the Golden Proportion, gives the logarithmic spiral as a constant-so that, whereas size and radius aren't fixed or given absolute values, they are given as proportional harmonics of angle. The angular intersection-sets the observer-position yielding scale, directional signatures, relative values of the spacetime vectors etc. This will become very important to us as we see just how this phantasmagoria of appearance we call a "world", comes about as it does and how therefore its functional aspects maybe ordered more to "volitional" specification (i.e., "engineering of the vacuum" etc.).

Emotional Architectures

If we understand geometry as an abstract function of consciousness, it must be equally apparent that this "consciousness" is basically a transtemporal value. We have no more call to limit it or place it within the enclosure of some measurable skull, than we have to assume that "size" inheres as the fixed property of a curve. There's nothing "personal" in the fact of our uniform capacity to cognize geometrically-though there may be plenty of personal variation involved in our mental grasp.

Recognizing this, it becomes possible to perceive the sum potential of geometrized coordinates as the patterning of Void-mind. In turn we may identify the combinative potential of patterned harmonics as a function of psyche; such affjine potential within the geometrized frame necessarily possesses a psychic charge. Before it's ever a matter of quantified magnitudes exhibiting structurally viable "valence bonds" etc., the spirit of geometry has affective value for consciousness.

Geometry is generally conceived as an objective property of measure; recognized first of all as a function of consciousness, the understanding follows that its abstract elements comprise the means by which consciousness comes to itself, identifies its deepest qualities and potentials in the projective field. As expressions of consciousness, they signify its adjoint self-interaction unfolding innate meaning. So intimate a meaning carries forward the love-identity of consciousness, and therefore generates intrinsic emotional charge. The features of noetic geometry are at the same time basic if variable signatures of mood, whereby consciousness orients itself electrically through the very potential by which it's drawn.

Consider an abstraction such as "angle". In the absence of any content, comparative angles produce spontaneous psychic qualities: depending on degree of intersection we obtain an immediate sense of tension, harmony, receptivity, urgency, anger, stolidity etc. with no necessary object of reference. Imagine the kinds of angles - acute, obtuse etc.- and their specific slopes which would tend to fit the above nouns.

As an expression of consciousness, geometry functions on a multidimensional basis. It operates on the level of noesis; of mind-pattern; of psychic and emotional formalism as well as etheric-material configuration. We may again refer to the model of the sacred polyhedra, the five Pythagorean solids generated one from the other and mutually implicated by angle and axis, vertices and planes of bisection.

Each order of generation may (as a simplified schematic) be considered the correspondent of an emergent dimension of mind, with respect to its geometrizing levels. At the same time, the extroverted order of any level implicitly contains the combined polyhedra, owing to their deep mutuality. The implicit, dotted-line "clouds" of polyhedra clustered around the "crystal" of a given level, function as subtone harmonics of the level (the polyhedral complex reiterates itself by chordal progression - having been built out from tetrahedron to the enclosing dodecahedron shell, it may be "progressed" to a higher order geometry by the cube, star tetrahedron etc.). The polyhedral complex, and thus the sum of noetic geometries by analogy, exists explicitly in section or implicitly as a whole at each "density" of organization.

To understand more vividly how the physical domain "appears" out of the noetic and psychic properties of Geometric form, the initial "condition" of the physical field may be conceived as a simple point-summation of the complex coordinate properties implicit in the polyhedral "crystal". If such a crystal exists overtly at each, ontological "level" of being through its specific phase - as if the tetrahedron corresponded to the noetic level in itself etc.-and implicitly as a whole through every level (the full potentiality oscillating in "ghost" form through the phase coordinates of a given framework) then the "physical" field can be conceived initially as a distillate, a drop or bindu condensing to a virtual point the multidimensional whole in conjunction with the most extroverted of the potential levels (i.e. the phase-level of the dodecahedron). It quivers with life as a locus-of-convergence, summing the infeeding dimensions through the coordinates specific to its phase- which, indeed, are plotted by those radiation patterns spacing its tangents on the perpendicular.

No Particle-ar Place to Go

Such a locus is a virtual being, an ontological entity rather than a "particle" of specific force or velocity, etc. As an essentially mnemonic conservation through the transdimensional "turns" of being, it reinforces itself by continuous reverberative reflection; because it has no specified "position" in time or space (being the formal origination-point of physical spacetime) it spreads itself indefinitely by that self-displacing blink across the "whole" of the dimensional cross-section. That dimension (the etheric level) may be considered essentially saturated, in its primary condition, with mirror multiplications of the basic point-value condensing the cosmic crystal (cf. Mother Terasu, TNTC No. 5, Dec. '89, p. 8 for a description of the Creative prototype of this process). It abides implicitly through the creative whole as a pointillist field without orientation, direction or discrimination, bereft of privileged "viewpoint", isotropic to the zero degree. It may be viewed as a "still" ocean composed of subtly-scintillant scales; it may in fact be considered the prototype of the "scalar" mode, recognized as an ontological magnitude at this initial stage.

How then does the "etheric ocean" quicken, come to life and generate all the forms with which we're physically familiar

An Astral Quadrille

Remember that each pointillist version of itself concentrates a total, virtual seed-pattern of the informing dimensions-of-being. It exists at "right-angles" to the level immediately feeding into it, just as dodecahedron and isocahedron relate to one another as mutually inverse reflections across the perpendicular bias. The dimension or density directly "above" it, is that of the Psychic or astral state of being.

The astral level of things has its own characteristic geometry. Even as lines, curves, planes and angles tend to be concealed amid the scallops and horizon-breaks of the physical level of resolution, only identified by schematic reconstruction, so they are correspondingly in evidence at the psychic level; as psychic values, functions of consciousness in the first place, the formalism of beings and things appearing in the "astral plane" has only the power to reveal those construction-patterns, and no power to constitutionally mask them. The underlying energies may, at the "astral" degree or density, represent themselves in cognitive terms as the proper function of a field organized according to the principle of psychic affinity.

The psychic framework has specific affinity for identifying, and formally representing in straightforward display, the polygon properties partaking of its own nature. With slight, educated adjustment or focal reorientation the identifiable entities of "physical" features and sensuous silhouette, may be dissolved and reinterpreted in terms of the geometrizing coordinates through which their appearances are composed.

At the astral level, then, the geometries with which we've been concerned begin - without equivocation - at the point of some initiating "thought", i.e. the motive idea, feeling, mood or desire generated by an entity, a sentient complex, a group mode of consciousness or source-self (all such beings as a whole - and in each of their subdivisions - sharing an astral component and, as such, comprising intrinsic expressions of the formative domain).

The essential, ideoform pressure toward exteriorizing the types or qualities, patterns or modes alluringly present as the potential of the geometrizing fields, begins as a burgeoning "bindu" or dot of emanation; the seed-point polarizes into a fluxing webwork of interconnected lines rapidly acquiring the characteristic curves, angles and axes belonging to units of polygon processes (and clusters of such units cohering along the astral "grain" of formal affinity).

The structures that result from the initiating thought-force vary in strength, intensity and durability. According to the degree and quality of concentration, reinforcement, repetition, self-similarity and correlative support from consonant structures, the resultant pattern will exhibit delicacy, wobble, balance or imbalance. Some geometrized energy-forms decompose swiftly, and contribute their elements to other compounds percolating up through the psychic atmosphere; some persist in close formation with consonant patterns that resonantly reinforce the basic "grain" of the structure. Some are so significantly supported by probabilistic reiterations of themselves that the overlapping, self-consonant lines and reinforcing flow-channels amalgamate the contributory elements, fusing them so tightly in integral "bundles" of patterning energy-systems that the whole appears as a seamless entity, a durable "thought-structure" possessing coherent, crystal line lines and self-stabilizing facets. These reinforced patterns or quasi-permanent structures etched in "astral matter", play particularly significant roles in the ordering of the etheric-material field - which arises, by implication, at virtual "right-angles" to the psychic dimension.

What does the etheric-material medium "look like", with respect to the swarming clouds and electric clusters of energy-activity appearing dimensionally "above" it, and reflected onto its surface??

A Storm at c

First, we recall that the etheric-material medium was - descriptively - a reverberative field of mutually displacing and self-multiplying point-predications, ontological "loci" or condensed seed-states summing the geometries implied through all the projective coordinates belonging to the preceding fields - or conscious dimensions - "above" and at right angles to it. The energy clusters and psychic patterns taking form through individual thoughts and collective states of consciousness, belonging both to personal and cosmic scales of resolution (for all beings, places and things converge through the locus of the astral field) exist in relation to the perpendicular plane of the etheric as angles. All the energy-activity and hives of self-organization belonging to the Psychic dimension, enter into and have their effect upon the etheric-material field in the form of angular intersection.
An organizational state at the psychic level appearing as a rainbow fountain, a shimmering serpent-flow, or conversely as a densely consolidated crystal or stably-volumetric beehive, in every case enters into influential relation with the etheric field according to the value of its summary angle of entry. The shape, strength, durability, globally reinforced balance and basic intensity of the geometrized pattern at the psychic level, determines the value assigned that - characteristic - angle of entry.

And how does that astral energy-pattern, summed through its characteristic "angle", produce an effect in the material medium? Recall that the pointillist field of the etheric-material stratum, stretched through its "being" like a boundless expanse of ocean. With that analogy, the angular intersection produced by all the patterns swarming above and precipitating from the astral "heaven" may be thought of as pelting that perpendicular, oceanic surface as so much "rain". Just as lightning and rain come down in varying angles, at varying degrees of intensity producing varying stresses in the materials on which they're shed, so also the angulated sleet of energies pouring from the variegated patterns at the astral level strikes the pointillist field of the "ether" and agitates its ontological latency.

The varying strengths, stabilities and intensities of energy-pattern from the Psychic "sky", touch the oceanic bosom of etheric-material substance generating ripples and agitated eddies of corresponding magnitude, virtual "notes" of differing tones that play over the surface. What is being agitated by these angular intersections, is the uniform potential contained as "coded" summary in the etheric points.

The plenum of angles, axes, coordinate hookups and integral harmonics distilled from and implied in the antecedent geometries of the conscious dimensions "above", abides within each ontological "point". Such a point is, in keeping with conscious value, an essential zero-point; for no preferred pattern intrinsically claims the bias of those internal coordinate domains. In themselves they're maximally potential, as if within the point abided a "dust" of points clustering in supersaturated symmetry from any angle (no angle being preferred, no perspective given); the connective "lines" that would constitute the crystallization-of-pattern being virtually absent. It is the homogenous equipotentiality within each point, and obtaining by implication amongst the points, that is disturbed, quietly agitated by the precipitation of angulated "energy-matter" from above.

The "ripples" which such agitation produces, do not serve to "move" the points themselves; vectorial displacement isn't implied because these points represent ontological potential. The disturbance is one of intensity, not direction, though we can visualize this activity as a vectorial displacement from each pointillist "center" in an expanding network of interference. The "waves" of agitation as the angulated energy-patterns influence the smooth "sheet" of etheric substance, exhibit respective amplitudes which are therefore functions of intensity, measures of strength and relative balance; the pattern of disturbance which propagates at each point and from point to point through the field of points, is not so much a motion of the medium as an indicator of fluxing intensities, states of ontological stress alternately influencing and affecting the various points. The "motion" is illusory, but propagates an influence orthogonally, in the same way that there appears to be real vectorial motion in the on/off blinking of a succession of neon lights.

Marking Space/Time

The more random, imbalanced or loosely integrated energy-patterns from the astral field, therefore produce corresponding angulated stress in the pointillist medium of the ether exhibiting destructive interference of progressively degraded amplitudes. The general randomness of sources spread through the psychic field, produces an overall etheric topography fed by Fingers of reticulating dispersion; punctuating and recohering the states of many of these veinous networks, there appear certain "zones" at which highly integrated, intensified and balanced energy-configurations intersect the horizontal plane of the ether.

The "angles" produced through these significant junctures may be considered maximally compensated; they belong to orders of energy-organization that are geometrically coherent, highly isometric or globally stabilized, and so in effect tend to inscribe a probabilistic-repetition pattern on the horizontal axis maximizing the angular imprint in a sweeping rotation; this process may indeed be considered the work of the Masonic "calipers" and "compasses", whereby spirit-energy sets the angle, marks the area, inscribes the optimum circle where certain geometries of allowable phase-transitions are "decreed" as the functional terms of a physically perceptible world.

At these ontological "regions" across the surface of the etheric field, coherently aligned and self-reinforcing arcs of steady circumference highlight intensified potential of the pointillist domains. In the phase-intersections of these arcs, the random ripples of pulsatory excitation playing through the points like arbitrary notes give way to sustained chords; the broken potentials even out into a stable resonance.

The virtual circumference defining a probabilistic area in the etheric field, at a threshold degree of intensity polarizes the flow-lines of specific axes from the equipolential po
