“In the Beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 According to science the universe originated from a 'Big Bang' and furthermore had a beginning ie. at a point in space and time in the past, it is not without an origin. The Story of Creation entails seven days: ------------------------------- THE WORLD AROUND US Seven Aspects of Space and Time:
“In the way the six days are fit for work, the seventh is inherently fit for rest. That is because the world is physical. Anything physical is bounded by six sides [North, East, South, West, up, down]. There is another “boundary” separate unto itself – the center – an infinitely small dot occupying no space, which does not relate to anything physical, as six sides do. Having no dimension, it relates to the non-physical – the spiritual. . . ” Maharal, Gur Aryeh, The Lion Cub of Prague, Book One, pgs. 19-20 “He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.” Psalms 104:2 “It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” Isaiah 40:22 --------------------------
CONSCIOUSNESS The Universe Six Numbers and Consciousness: Copernican Principle “As we look out into the Universe and identify the many accidents of physics and astronomy that have worked together to our benefit, it almost seems as if the Universe must in some sense have known that we were coming.” Freeman Dyson, cited in The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (1986) by John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, p. 318 Anthropic Principle “…at the other extreme, we have the Anthropic principle, which makes us realize that a miraculous set of “accidents” makes consciousness possible in this three-dimensional universe of ours. There is a ridiculously narrow band of parameters that makes intelligent life a reality, and we happen to thrive in this band. The stability of the proton, the size of the stars, the existence of higher elements, and so on, all seem to be finely tuned to allow for complex forms of life and consciousness. One can debate whether this fortuitous circumstance is one of design or accident, but no one can dispute the intricate tuning necessary to make us possible.” Michio Kaku, Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos, pg. 348 British Cosmologist Sir Martin Rees describes how the universe is governed by six numbers':
“These six numbers constitute a ‘recipe’ for a universe. Moreover, the outcome is sensitive to their values: If any one of them were to be ‘untuned’ there would be no stars and no life. Is this tuning just a brute fact, a coincidence? Or is it the providence of a benign Creator? I take that view that it is neither. An infinity of universes may well exist where the numbers are different.” Sir Martin Rees, Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape The Universe, pg. 4 “There are various ways of reacting to the apparent fine tuning of our six numbers. One hard-headed response is that we couldn’t exist if these numbers weren’t adjusted in the appropriate ‘special’ way: we manifestly are here, so there is nothing to be surprised about. Many scientists take this line, but it certainly leaves me unsatisfied. I’m impressed by a metaphor e by the Canadian philosopher John Leslie. Suppose you are facing a firing squad. Fifty marksmen take aim, but they all miss. If they hadn’t missed, you wouldn’t have survived to ponder the matter. But you wouldn’t just leave it at that – you’d be baffled, and would seek some further reason for your good fortune.” Sir Martin Rees, Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape The Universe, pg. 166 Ten Sefirot & Ten Dimensions: “There was only one period of time when energy on this enormous scale was readily available, and that was at the instant of Creation. In fact, the hyperspace theory cannot be tested by our largest atom smashers because the theory is really a theory of Creation. Only at the instant of the Big Bang do we see the full power of the hyperspace theory coming into play. This raises the exciting possibility that the hyperspace theory may unlock the secret of the origin of the universe. Introducing higher dimensions may be essential for prying loose the secrets of Creation. According to this theory, before the Big Bang, our cosmos was actually a perfect ten-dimensional universe. . . However, this ten-dimensional world was unstable, and eventually it “cracked” in two, creating two separate universes: a four- and six-dimensional universe. . . This six dimensional universe, far from being a useless appendage to our world, may ultimately be our salvation.” Michio Kaku, Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension, Anchor Books, pg. 27 A six dimensional world and four heavenly realms. -----------------------------
THE WORLD WITHIN
Four Heavenly Realms, Origin and Vibration:
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:19
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21
Conscious spirit and unconscious matter both have existed since the dawn of time with Maya appearing to connect them, misrepresenting joy as outside us. When all these three are seen as one, the Self reveals His universal form and serves as an instrument of divine will. Chandogya Upanishad 1:1-3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:1
1 Let us meditate on OM the imperishable, the beginning of prayer 2 For as the earth comes from the waters, plants from earth, and man from plants, so man is speech and speech is OM. Of all speech the essence is the Rig Veda; but Sama is the essence of Rig, and of Sama the essence is OM, the Udgitha. 3 This is the essense of essences, the highest and eighth rung, venerated above all that human beings hold holy. OM is the self of all.
Shvetoshvatara Upanishad 1:9 The LORD is within us, with four advancements from water to man, giver of speech, then four essences from speech to OM: Transcending eternally, one must become aligned and in-tuned with the Holy of Holies. Biblically this is paralleled by the four letters in the name of God (YHWH) and the vision of Ezekiel's chariot concerning four heavenly realms. Please note: Veda (Knowledge), Rig (Verse), Sama (Song) & OM. Four levels of consciousness: Add - Psalm 40:2 - "He brought me up also 4/(apes) out of an horrible pit, 3/(men) out of the miry clay, 2/(angels) and set my feet upon a rock, 1/(gods) and established my goings." The LORD is enshrined in the hearts of all.
The LORD is the supreme reality.
Rejoice in Him through renunciation.
Covet nothing. All belongs to The LORD.
Isha Upanishad - Verse 1 A world around us and a world within.
