Chapter Six – Universal Governance 2 (Developing perspective)

What is your birthright?

Were you born free, or were you born into slavery?

What is freedom (and is servitude different from slavery)?

Imagine a simple electronic circuit made up of a battery and light connected by some wires. The battery is comprised of two poles, positive and negative. When our light is connected to only one of the poles our circuit is not complete, the light does not shine. It is only when we connect the bulb to both the poles of the battery that the light shines from this system. The body is like the battery, and mind is like the bulb. The body is polarised, being comprised of the physical (matter – lower vibration) aspect, and the spiritual (energy – higher vibration) aspect. When we only connect the mind to the body/physical pole our system is without light (and light traditionally represents knowledge, although in this case it represents the application of knowledge of universal existence within our information processing – AKA wisdom). It is when we take the time to develop a connection to the spiritual aspect of our being that the individual consciousness circuit is complete, resulting in wisdom illuminating the mind (and therefore shaping behaviours). While many people do stumble upon access to wisdom, usually through experiencing more natural world, natural information, rather than human created fantasies, it is best if we do what we can to make wisdom our default perspective (that way we can only ever make decisions which are best for us).

You see it is the birthright of all individual humans to develop whole; a complete system of consciousness in which the two poles (physical and spiritual) are joined as one in the act of creation (within mind, and therefore the physical and spiritual worlds). There are two ways to see; we see with our physical eyes (our senses), which allow us to receive information from, and thus perceive, the physical world. While we see with our eyes, we also see with our mind; this is how some people are unable to see what is right before them in the physical world, and this is also how so many humans are able to see the unseen aspects of the physical part of universal existence (such as gravity, laws of thermodynamics, atoms, social codes of conduct, universal principles, etc).

Just as we use mind to explore the non see-able aspects of the physical world, we also use mind to explore the worlds of higher vibration (the world of mind, and of spirit). We turn, or tune mind outwards to explore the basic physical world. We turn mind toward itself to explore mind, the non-physical aspects of the external world, and the subtle influence of the spiritual world. While we turn, or tune, mind inward (or toward the subtle, the information emanating from higher vibration states) to perceive the spiritual aspect of universal existence.

Basically there are two things to take from this. The first is that most of universal existence is not able to be seen with our physical senses, it is only able to be seen within mind, and so… the second. The second idea to consume is that the only way you can ever understand the true nature of spirituality is to do what is necessary to control your mental space so as to turn your attention to the reality of the mental and spiritual aspects of universal existence. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Consider mathematical principles such as calculus or Pythagoras’s theorem. These are both unseen aspects of our physical world, able to be seen only within mind; those who develop the ability to see these principles, and apply them within mind, area able to shape the physical world to greater effect than those individuals who never learn to see this reality. In order to see such things as calculus and Pythagoras’s theorem, and to use them to our advantage manipulating the mental and physical worlds, we must undergo a process of learning (information – from basic concepts, and through training, develop a mind which is able to see such aspects of our universal existence). In this sense mathematics is the same as science, as philosophy, as spirituality; they are all areas of investigation of the information which makes up universal existence. If you choose, for one reason or another, to never develop you consciousness in these areas, if you fail to build your perspective of universal existence in these areas, then you will never have access to the hidden information necessary to become whole (the more you learn about the creation of THE ALL, about universal existence, the closer you become to the source of all information we are able to experience – the more real power you have; and real power is the power to choose, to make decisions).

At the end of the day it is all about perspective, and power is a matter of perspective, of belief. Imagine what power you could have with a mind that contains infinite creative potential, being a fractal projection of the underlying mind of THE ALL. Knowing that you are intimately connected to the source (and therefore all life/physical manifestations of consciousness), and understanding the universal principles/laws set forth at the big bang (the creation), you have the ability to create the life you desire here (in heaven – that which is above the earth…well, what we experience of the earth, being of mind).  

We are all born into bondage, in that we are born into a physical body with no knowledge of our spiritual nature (although we have an emotional connection). Through experience we develop knowledge. While each individual develops knowledge of our spiritual nature we are, our bodies and focus of developing mind is, bound with the physical body. As the physical body is ruled by basic emotional desires, greed, lust, gluttony, anger, slothfulness, boredom, jealousy, etc, during this stage of development the individual needs a parent (some external figure to provide rules and guidance (information) to help the individual develop mind so as to master control of basic emotional desires – through opening the conscious connection to the spiritual (or higher informational) half of our info-pro-sys). As such the sole role of the parent (individual and social) is to provide, as can reasonably be expected, the environment and social experiences (information and opportunity) that will enable the individual, within the first seven years of life, to develop connection between physical body, mind, and spiritual body (resulting in intuition, wisdom, and developing the way for increasingly evolved states of consciousness – the direction of which is chosen by the individual through the application of wisdom).

It is the birthright of each human to be free; to have ready (and transparent) access to all the information our species has gathered about universal existence, to be allowed to evolve in line with the natural evolution of life (toward greater states of consciousness, of understanding about universal existence). In order to be free from external, human, governance (as is our birthright), it is necessary to enter the state of universal governance.

Entering the state of universal governance is the same as entering the temple of Solomon described within the bible (its secrets passed down in esoteric, occult, circles for thousands of years). Basically, to enter this temple/state (which is a state of mind) we need to pass through source and strength (the pillars on either side of the entranceway). By walking the path through source and strength, by having experiences which develop our knowledge of source (and the strength to apply that knowledge), we connect our individual consciousness system (our physical and spiritual bodies balanced in the act of mental creation), we become whole.

To become whole, to unite (to balance/harmonise) our physical and spiritual bodies in the act of creation, in our decision making, in our ability to choose, we become free (this is the only way to freedom). When we move down this path, when we take the time to learn the information we need to see the hidden reality of universal existence, we realise that freedom is servitude. Although this concept may initially seem paradoxical, when we apply our universal principles to the matter we find that all paradoxes disappear (as our gaps in knowledge are filled). To the master there is no magic, as all the secrets are revealed – and yet once all the processes are known, one is filled with the wonder of the whole thing.

The principle of polarity holds that everything in universal existence is polarised, and the same is true for freedom/servitude – these are two poles of the same underlying thing (same in kind, different in degree). As we travel the path through source and strength we realise that our consciousness is enhanced, moves closer to source, the more we reconcile opposites (and thus melt paradoxes away). When we becomes polarised, fixated on one side or the other, we are unable to account for the other side in our information processing – meaning we can only see half the story, and so our decisions will only ever be half as good as they could be. Because THE ALL is beyond duality, beyond polarity, when we develop unity of our physical/spiritual body we naturally move closer to (in our understanding of) the source. If we neglect to balance the male energy of creation (the physical/spiritual body), that which impregnates mind (the feminine energy) to create mental forms, and instead remain polarised at the physical side of the spectrum, then (as the physical is comprised of energy at slowest vibration, and thus furthest away from source) our contents of mind, and behaviours, will always be furthest away from source (and any influence, power, of the source we have the potential to use). So when our information processing becomes polarised to the physical our mind becomes focused on the physical, and it becomes harder to hear (and apply) the subtle guidance of wisdom. This is the state of human consciousness we call asleep – and it is our duty to wake ourselves, and to assist other to wake, from our info-pro-sys slumber.

When we harmonise the physical and spiritual aspects of body, we unite the polarities and operate on the whole spectrum, and in doing so we reconcile all paradoxes arising from polarisation to one particular half of the whole. In terms of freedom/servitude, the enlightened individual realises that true freedom is servitude (when that which is created in mind, and therefore in the physical/spiritual worlds, is done in service to THE ALL – and the universal principles and various laws we are able to identify being ever present in the unfolding of universal existence – such as the one Law – do not steal life, liberty, or property).

This same uniting of poles is seen in the spectrum of individual and collective. On one side all humans are individuals, independent systems, yet on the other side all humans are connected, part of the overall system of universal existence (and many other systems between the individual and the overall whole, such a family, community, humanity, and life in general). When we are born into the physical world we go through a psychological trauma, leaving the comfort and inherent connection between our physical system and our mother to exist as an individual with a distinct physical body. The result of this psychological trauma, and the necessary experiences in the first few years of life, while cognitive (thinking) abilities develop, is that we all become fairly polarised to the physical body.

Our experiences in the first seven years of life are critical to how we develop psychologically (and thus spiritually). During this early stage in our development, as is generally true, the quality and quantity of information we learn through experience determines our psychological evolution (determines our ability to use mind, and our ability to turn/tune mind to the spiritual aspect of universal existence). Remember, it is all about information. If we teach our children no information about the mental/spiritual worlds, and instead provide experiences that encourage mental development solely in relation (application) to the physical aspect of universal existence, discouraging focus on spirit – then how will the child ever have the information, or drive, to explore the mental and spiritual aspects of our existence? More than this – if we (as parents, as society) do not foster/provide for our children the types of experiences that enable individuals to experience our spiritual nature, then how do we expect our children to become whole (and thus free – from corporate psychological abuse and slavery to our own basic, individual/fear driven, desires)?

The reality is that when human beings move through puberty and into the age of adulthood without developing the connection between our physical and spiritual bodies we develop imbalanced; this is the underlying mechanism behind all mental illness (and this highlights the path for freedom of mental illness – true freedom). When you think about it, if we do not develop connection to our higher self, our higher conceptual self, bound with concepts such as connectivity, collective, and infinite creative potential (aka the concept of God – or universal good) , then our information processing system, consciousness, can only be driven by our physical self (our basic emotional desires coupled with the concepts we may have developed, which, as little spiritual development has occurred, are focused on the physical self and the material world as all that we value as ‘good’ – usually meaning basically pleasurable).

The soul rides on the chariot of the body, with senses the horses, mind the reins, and wisdom the charioteer – Bhagavad Gita.

In the above analogy the soul refers to our essence, who we are, the observer of mind. Mind is something which is moved by the horses and directed by the charioteer; moved by our senses (influence of physical body/emotional responses) and directed by wisdom (influence of spiritual body/intuition). Like a physical set of reins the mind can be weak (tattered, not well developed). In such cases the mind is a poor tool for directing the horses (leading to a state in which our developed/strengthened emotional drives, and their associated concepts, dominate the contents of mind and therefore behaviours – as seen in depression, anxiety, addiction, greed, racism, psychopathic tendencies, etc). Although, with the right information (rationality, logic, critical thinking, abstract thought, etc theory and practice), we develop a mind which is strong enough to direct even the most unruly, the wildest, of horses.

Obviously, as the analogy highlights, developing mind is not enough in itself; as mind, like the reins, must be held by an operator. Our physical body is autonomous, it operates without us having to think about it; more than this, our body (emotional responses) is able to pull our mind (use tools such as reason, abstract thought, etc), to drive our thoughts (ultimately to gain physical pleasure and avoid physical pain). Some humans know this, and so they invest billions of dollars each year in ‘perception management’, ‘advertising’ and other means of psychological manipulation (and social fantasies) designed to maintain/reinforce the initial polarisation to the physical aspect of universal existence (and in doing so stall, prevent, our natural, birthright, connection to spiritual nature; and thus largely thwart our ability to be whole, to self govern).

If you doubt that there is an element within society, a small groups of humans, who, for thousands of years, have been developing, implementing, and evolving forms of social control (human slavery), then just consider the information. Look at our modern society in terms of information, and in terms of experience (which is how humans learn). How much does our modern social experience, such as education, government, economics, religion, cultural values, etc, develop for most individuals the knowledge and perspective needed for complete mental health (information about source/strength). How much do our social experiences develop unity, connectivity, community, and creativity… and how much do our social experiences develop isolation, individualism, competition, and destruction (just look at the results – increasing environmental destruction, human isolation, division, fear, and mental illness). Know that those who seek, indeed, to encourage us to turn from our birthright (of spiritual connection and therefore the ability for self governance) to instead serve the kingdom of man (human created states of governance and our basic emotional desires), can only do so with your permission.

One idea that is repeated throughout the Christian Bible is that we cannot serve two masters, for we will love one and hate the other. When we walk the path of source/strength, develop the knowledge, the perspective, that brings our being forth into a state of universal governance, we allow God to enter our consciousness (meaning that we become, indeed, servants of the concept of God – of good, connection, collective, creation, and Law derived from universal principles). What this means is that there is only one master we should serve, and that is the master within each and every one of us (wisdom). Look at modern society though, with external authority figures in various structures, such as educational, governmental, and religious; is our society set up to recognise the universal fact that it is the birthright of humanity to self govern, for each individual to serve the concept of Go(o)d (through receiving the guidance of, and having the strength to apply, wisdom)?

The bible is full of hidden information repeated in various sayings, such as ‘he who becomes master will find themselves slaves, and he who serves will gain all the riches of the world’ (or something to that effect). We have already seen what the real master is, although how do we turn out back on the concept of God? When our spiritual connection becomes weak through a mind experiencing an over stimulation of physical body, and lack of stimulation of spiritual body, we increasingly polarise consciousness toward the physical world. When consciousness becomes polarised to the physical world it becomes confused, things can never make complete sense, and so there will always be a feeling of loss, of something missing, of being unfulfilled (a fact exploited in the system of control as seen in the ways we are subtly encouraged to ‘fill the gap’ with consumption of material products and fantasy beliefs with their associated emotional responses). In this state of polarised confusion consciousness decides that the physical world, and therefore the physical body, is all that is important, all that there really is.  

Our beliefs shape our individual consciousness, and the shape of our consciousness determines the contents of our mind and external/physical behaviours (it is all about information – and making decisions/governance). When we believe that our spiritual nature is something of fantasy, that the physical body is the entirety of consciousness, then we make ourselves (out of necessity) master; we can only have one master. Intelligence is of the mind, it is a mental tool, a tool like the reins of a chariot. When our intelligence is focused on the physical world we see that universal governance is necessary for social cohesion, so that our species can operate as a collective and therefore thrive. Although, when consciousness is polarised toward the physical, we are unable to see the spiritual aspect (the mental state) necessary for universal governance (and in our confusion we create physical states of human governance in our effort to achieve universal governance).

The basic philosophy behind the modern nation state, such as the country of New Zealand, is that each individual gives up their own perceived position as master (gives up authority to govern) to instead be governed by one (meaning a god) social master (being a mental, corporate – dead, state with elected representatives). Because of this, the only reason for an external state of human governance is if the majority of individual humans believe that we are not fit to govern ourselves – and, sadly, the majority of humans believe this because we realise that something is missing (we are missing the social experiences, the exposure to information, which develop within individuals the knowledge of source/strength; and therefore most have been unable to see the path to self governance – let alone walk it).    

So in order to develop nation states human beings must first be severed from the source, through lies, distractions, and external (physical) pressures (such as economic and psychological) that polarise individual consciousness toward the physical world. Once people are severed from the source, therefore unable to walk into the state of universal governance, and are lost wandering in the bleak desert of myopia convinced they are masters of this physical world; they are ready to accept an external source of authority into their lives, to pledge allegiance to the service of man (the kingdom of mammon). Yea, that national flag we are brainwashed into holding in such high esteem, it is just a logo for a corporation run by men for their own profit (like all corporations). And what is a ‘corporation’? The first part of the word is a clue, corp(s), as in a dead (non-living) entity. So if we pledge allegiance to a flag, or a state of man (which are registered corporations), we are pledging allegiance to a dead entity (we are accepting the dark arts, necromancy, into our life). Not only, through omission and fabrication, are most humans convinced to turn away from the concepts of God (our spiritual nature) as our governor; we are also convinced to turn away from our living bodies as a source of our governance, to instead follow the governance of a dead entity. You may have noticed that in the last few hundred years, under necromancy governance, things have got a whole lot worse for life in general, and a whole lot better for dead entities (legal personhood in the end of the 18th century, and current trade deals set to give corporations legal nationhood such as the TPP). And they say that there is no magic anymore – all you need to do is look at the legal spells that bind living humans today to get an idea of the true nature of magic (clue -it is all about information).

Chapter Five – Universal Governance 1 (Seven Universal Principles)

by Rebecca 0 Comments

Before the beginning, before the universe exploded into being (an event referred to as the ‘big bang’), there was no time/space, no light/dark, no something and nothing – there was just the eternal, formless, timeless, reality of THE ALL. As THE ALL exists outside our frames of reference, such as light/dark, space/time, etc, outside of our dual (double) nature, this source is unknowable to us (save for fleeting impressions gained by those who have turned/tuned their mind to such perception through years of experience – learning/practice (information and opportunity); which you could too, given information and opportunity, time and practice – or through some chance event, usually involving certain plant based chemicals).

What our species does know, and has known for thousands of years, is that THE ALL is mind. So important is this knowledge to us that it is the first of seven universal principles (yes, just seven principles need to be known in order to understand our universal existence). These seven principles, and the knowledge surrounding (and generated through application), form the base of all major occult, arcane, scared, religious, spiritual, etc, philosophies throughout the world. Over the last few thousand years this knowledge had been largely occulted (literally meaning hidden from sight), yet the truth cannot remain hidden forever.

THE ALL is mind, and the universe exists as a thought in the mind of THE ALL; just as we create thoughts within our own mind. At the event of creation, the big bang, all the rules/Laws governing the reality of our universal existence were set (and are seen playing out during the unfolding of the universe). Through the application of science and spirituality, duel areas in the pursuit of knowledge that are guided by their parent philosophy, we are able to illuminate the aspects of universal existence only seen within mind (meaning that which is not directly observable with our physical senses, which is most of it); and through this knowledge indeed we move closer to THE ALL.

Common to all spiritual philosophies throughout the world is the concept of soul progression; that basically the whole point of existence is to experience THE ALL (including all the various aspects of our-self), and through doing so choose (of our own free will) to move closer to the source (understanding of THE ALL). The important aspect here is that of choice – what you choose to do, and the state you choose to occupy within your mind (these determine our connection, moving toward, or isolation, moving away).

Our second universal principle is that of correspondence, and it is with this principle that we are able to use mind to illuminate much of the unseen aspects of our universal existence. Sometimes this principle is described in the following way ‘as above, so below; as below, so above’. Recognise that universal existence is a myriad of systems, such as cells, human beings, life, solar system, and many other non-physical systems, and the fact that all systems are related through the underlying Laws set out in the initial act of creation. Within the physical world we see this principle in life; although single cells, plants, and humans seem remarkably different from each other, they are all systems that receive, process, and react to matter/energy (information – because when you get down to it, universal existence is just information). Although the system of a human is more complex than that of a single cell, the human system still corresponds to the cell system – as above so below.

Where the principle of correspondence is particularly useful is when we choose to explore the aspects of our universal existence only seen with mind. It should be noted here, the fact that the spiritual aspect of our existence can only be seen within mind is no reason in itself to regard the idea as unworthy of your time. We must remember that the physical world we enjoy focusing on is also only able to be experienced within mind. At the end of the day all we can know about our universal existence is that which we experience within mind – this is another aspect of the first universal principle that ALL is mind.

When you create a thought in your mind it is a part of you, while it is also a distinct entity within your mind. As THE ALL created universal existence (as a thought in mind, like we create a thought within our fractal impression of the underlying mind) the creation is a part of THE ALL, while the creation is also a distinct entity. For this reason it can be said that while we are not THE ALL, THE ALL is part of us (a relationship in which we are like a fractal impression). When we consider all major creation stories we find that sound is key; ‘in the beginning there was the WORD’. Sound is a vibration, and it is vibration that underpins all of universal existence (emanating from the source). Here we find ourselves at the third universal principle – the principle of vibration (that nothing rests, everything moves, everything is in vibration).

THE ALL is (one) mind, and from the One we get two (the universal existence of duality – spirit and physical). The physical world is a world of space time (where time progresses in liner fashion of matter unfolding from the big bang – such as the rotation of the earth, and the cycling of the earth around the sun). While the spiritual world is a world of time space (something that really needs to be experienced to understand). For one reason or another, reasoning we are unable to comprehend from a dualistic perspective, THE ALL set within the universal Laws the parameters necessary for the evolution of consciousness. It is from this that we get the idea of the ability for creation to look back at the creator – meaning that the unfolding of universal existence (by its very Laws set at creation) leads to the spark of life and evolution toward greater states of awareness/consciousness/and beyond (greater ability to initially perceive and then understand universal existence – remember it is all about information).

For many thousands of years human beings have been exploring the spiritual world, sharing their subjective experiences, and developing a core body of knowledge. The vibrations closest to source are highest in frequency, while the vibrations furthest away from source are lowest in frequency (like the ripples of a rock dropped in water). The slower the vibration the denser the physical, the higher the vibration the more energy like (less dense) the physical becomes. For example water when frozen is a solid, the water molecules are moving very slowly. If we heat the water molecules up they gain energy and move around turning the ice into liquid water. If we add more heat energy the water molecules move even faster and liquid turns into gas. As the vibration of the underlying substance increases in frequency it becomes less solid – as below so above (as with the physical so the mental).    

THE ALL is mind, and the mind we experience within, as an individual, is a fractal impression of the mind of THE ALL (take a moment to imagine the potential power of our mind). As we live within this dualistic universal existence, our body/being is duel in nature (meaning physical and spiritual). Interestingly, we can only know the dual aspects of our being through mind. Within mind we see that the two aspects are really part of the overall whole reality of universal existence, two sides of the same coin. This inherent duality means that universal existence is polarised – meaning that everything is part of a continuum having two poles (black/white, light/dark, something/nothing, hot/cold, etc).

Consider, for example, the poles of hot/cold. These labels refer to one underlying continuum (what we call temperature), yet where is the point where cold finishes and hot begins? Cold and hot are two sides of the same thing; they are the same in kind, just different in degree. We can only know cold in relation to hot, and we can only know hot in relation to cold – one pole is only known through relation to its opposite pole. Our universal existence is one of duality, of poles – and so we arrive at the forth universal principle, the principle of polarity.

While the principle of polarity is found in all aspects of universal existence, it is most basically manifested in the rate of vibration of the underlying substance (the mind of THE ALL). As mentioned previously, the frequency of vibration closest to source is fastest; while the further away from the source, the slower the vibration (right to the slowest vibrations found within universal existence producing the physical matter of our common experience). Here we find the fundamental duality of universal existence, one pole being the lowest of vibration (the physical), the other pole being highest in vibration (the spiritual), with many degrees in between. The key point to remember is that although the spiritual and physical are opposite poles, they are opposite poles of the same underlying reality (the basic substance that makes up universal existence – the mind of THE ALL).

It is best to embrace the fact that universal existence is a system, and everything within is part of systems (multiple systems, on various different ‘levels’). For example the individual human is made up of cells, which are systems. Our cells are grouped in various bodily systems, such as organs, endocrine system, which together make up the whole individual. Each individual is part of social systems, family, friends, work, community, economic, etc, and we are all part of the greater systems of life and universal existence.

When we look at systems we find they are all in a constant state of movement (principle of vibration). We also see that all systems are polarity based, such as they receive/react, have deficiency/excess, health/illness, outflow/inflow, summer/winter, etc. Now when we combine these two principles we find that all systems have a rhythmic flow, from one pole to the other; we now arrive at the fifth universal principle, that of Rhythm. The in-breath and exhale, in-flow and outflow, waxing and waning, etc of universal existence.

Everything within universal existence is moved according to the principle of rhythm; we see this in the movement of planets and our seasons, and we see it in our own moods and social interactions. Think of a pendulum swinging back and forth, or a metronome, the amount of movement to the left is roughly equal to the amount of movement to the right. Now, when you consider the most basic universal polarity of a spectrum, between physical and spiritual, it is easy to understand how the amount of movement in the physical shapes the amount of movement in the spiritual, and vice versa. In terms of soul progression, our spiritual nature determines the physical manifestation (time/place/and to whom born – therefore rough life path set within the physical aspect), while the choices we make (the life we live) within the physical shapes our spiritual nature (we can choose to be moved by the physical world, or we can choose to evolve our informational being – learn).

From the soul progression cycle between the spiritual and physical aspects of universal existence we find a purpose to our individual life on the spaceship we call earth. The clue is in what humans have called it for thousands of years – progression. Although in what way? Remember it is all information; universal existence is, when you get down to it, just information. The whole point of us walking around this rock is to experience, and in doing so collect information about (develop ever increasing perspectives of) universal existence, and in doing so (and through worship by performing thoughts/actions which reflect the reality of the connection, community, creation of life/universal existence) move closer to the source. The alternative is to be consumed with thoughts and performing words/behaviours which result in isolation, individualism, and destruction – aka the devils path). We are the ones who choose which path we walk – we just need information and opportunity.

Next we come to the universal principle most people would be familiar with, and that is the sixth principle – cause and effect. For every cause there is an effect, and for every effect there is a cause. Newton, an alchemist (and one who knew these seven principles), explored the physical world from a perspective embracing the entirety of universal existence (the trinity of physical, mental, and spiritual). Drawing on this sixth principle when observing the physical world it is almost instinctual that a human would realise the truth that – for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This principle of cause and effect is essential to understand, and master, for achieving anything within the physical world; although it holds greater worth when applied across the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of universal existence.

Remember that when we die we become more spiritual than physical, until we are again born into the physical and thus become more physical than spiritual. Our physical and spiritual poles are connected through mind, which is a fractal impression of the mind of THE ALL (the source of universal existence). Some may try to lead you to believe that it is your good actions which are important, this is only half the story. What is really important is intent, the state of your mind – because it is you mental experience which impresses your spiritual nature (and it is through mind that your spiritual body impresses the physical).

Please do not be fooled into thinking that your spiritual nature is only relevant once you are dead. Just as mind shapes your spiritual body, your spiritual body is able to input into your mind (when you develop the ability to receive that information – when you tune your mind through meditation/mindfulness theory/practice). Our spiritual body is a guide, like our physical body, talking in emotional responses (which stimulate thoughts) – we may know as wisdom, intuition, that little voice in the back of your hear, etc. Unlike the physical body, which we are largely socialised to focus on, the spiritual body is of softer influence (and so we must control the immediate physical influence in mind to experience the subtle – must choose to focus on, embrace, the subtle aspects we are able to observe within mind).

The last of seven universal principles is that of gender (which while is not the same as male/female sex, does manifest in the physical sexes). The principle of gender relates to the principle of polarity, two poles, two genders (masculine and feminine), and is essential to understand in terms of creation. The act of creation is achieved through a combination of masculine and feminine energies. We see this within the physical world, where male and female sexes must combine cells to create human life; although we know by now that these principles are of more value when applied across the three worlds/aspects of universal existence.

Each individual human contains both masculine and feminine energies. In the physical sense, all boys produce small amounts of the chemicals associated with girls reproduction, while girls produce small amounts of the chemicals associated with boys reproduction. We all have a mind, which is feminine in gender, and which is impregnated by the physical/spiritual body (the masculine energy for mental creation).We give birth to ideas, although before birth there is a gestation period following conception. Mental conception begins with a spark of input from the physical/spiritual body, remember systems, cycles, the principle of rhythm; the spark within mind stimulates the physical/spiritual body, which then inputs/modifies/grows the initial spark within mind, which then stimulates the physical/spiritual body, and so on until the creation is either abandoned or grows to term (resulting in physical behaviour – words/action). This is a basic overview of the cycling, the rhythm, of our info-pro-sys (information-processing-system).

Another area where we see the principle of gender within mind is the act of physical information processing, emotional (feminine) and rational/logical (masculine) (balance between ‘body’ and ‘brain’). Generally speaking emotional processing is of the body while rational processing is of the mind (of the physical ‘brain’ which gives rise to our experience of mind); when one aspect dominates the other the creations produced (thoughts/behaviours) are generally unproductive for the individual. When mental and physical, emotional and rational, processing are in harmony, in balance, then the individual is operating at full health (in regards to processing information – thus making decisions; because mental health/illness is about information, making decisions).

There are many people who are searching through modern scientific methods to discover a unifying theory of everything, and they never will until they enlarge their perspective. Science can only look at one part of the picture, the objective, measurable with equipment, aspect of universal existence. On the other hand, spirituality embraces the scientific method for exploration of the physical world, and a similarly rigours philosophical method for exploration of the mental/spiritual worlds. Obviously it is important that you do not blindly believe the information presented here, you are the ultimate source of your truth! So take your time to process the information, check it with what you have learnt, with what you have experienced within our universal existence (seek different perspectives), and choose the reality, uphold/develop the perspective, which feels right.

As you come to understand these seven principles, begin to apply and see them throughout your experience of universal existence, you will desire, you will define purpose, in the construction of a universal state of governance.        

Chapter Four – Systems 4 (Experience: awareness and consciousness)

by Rebecca 0 Comments

All living systems process (matter/energy – information), must process, in order to endure (maintain relative health – live). As such, all living systems receive (some form of matter/energy – information), process, and produce reactions. This process/flow of receiving, processing, and producing reactions is the experience of the system; and what all systems experience is the matter/energy (information) that is received and processed by that particular system.

Whatever the organism receives and processes is what the organism is aware of. In this general definition we see that awareness is tied to the matter/energy (information) received and, more importantly, processed within a system. Following from this, we also see that what the system is aware of is the particular matter/energy (information) which the system is able to process (if a system is unable to receive and process it, then we cannot say that it is aware of it).

So from this we understand that all life is aware (of one thing or another, or many). A single cell is aware of the stuff it is processing, it is aware when it is low in the stuff it needs to process for health, and it even sends chemical signals to other cells to send the stuff it needs. Plants are aware of the nutrients they need, are aware of the position of the sun in the sky (and we see the reaction of this processing in some flowers which turn to keep in line with the sun). Even a computer is aware of the keys you are pushing on the keyboard, and you can tell because you see the reaction of letters appearing on your screen.

Technically speaking a system is aware of what it is processing; and as to process a system must receive and produce reactions, we can look at these things to develop knowledge as to what the system is aware of. You have probably noticed that as all living systems, from single cells to human beings, are aware of what they are processing, awareness (in this basic general definition) has nothing to do with our experience of mind. With development of the brain (sensory cortices, frontal lobe, language areas, etc) humans, and many other mammals, have the ability for consciousness, which gives the physical body/brain access to mind.

While related, consciousness is something a little different to awareness; you can think of consciousness as an evolution of awareness. So all organisms with consciousness are aware, while not all organisms that are aware have consciousness. To be conscious, to have consciousness, an organism must have some form of brain, have collections of neurons that produce representations of sensory/emotional information. Whatever is being represented within the (processing) brain is what the organism is conscious of. It is in this processing of the body/brain which we find the crossover from the physical aspect of our existence to the mental world we all inhabit.

Our experience of mind is all we really have; and what we know of the physical world, the world of sensory and emotional information, we know only though what we experience within mind. While mind is tied to the physical world through brain/body, it is best thought of as a separate world (plane of existence). Although the two worlds are both part of the underlying existence, and as such are shaped by such universal principles of existence as cause and effect, there are some rules which govern one plane while not the other. One example is that of the laws of physics; obviously this principle applies in the physical world, you would be rather foolish to ignore it and jump of a large cliff. Yet in the mental world such laws do not apply; we can easily imagine flying, and many people have dreams in which they fly (some choosing to fly while conscious of their dreaming). Another example is that of time, in the physical world time flows in a direction (past – present – future), again we would be foolish to try to ignore the march of time in the physical world. While in the mental world the laws of time do not apply; we often jump between the present moment, thought of the past, and dreams of what the future could hold.

So consciousness is the same form as awareness, just different in degree. While awareness is found in all biological (physical) systems, consciousness is found in systems with specific clusters of neurons (we call brains). Consciousness is generated by our (physical) body/brain and it gives us access to the mental world (which both operates by the same principles of universal existence as the physical world, and also operates by laws different to that which govern the physical world).  

Chapter Three – Systems 3 (Environomics)

by Rebecca 0 Comments

As we move away from the (dark ages) of categorical thinking and top-down modelling dominating our social decision making process, into the light of systemic thinking and lateralisation, we must pull some concepts from their categorically related roots to place them as they should be (systemically related). Two such concepts we will re-organise here are ‘environment’ and ‘economics’.

We have covered how there are two aspects to any system, there are the boundaries (the individual parts) and the function (how the parts relate, their connections, processing, etc). Environment is a term which describes the individual parts of the system; such as the physical parts that make up your body, or the parts the make up your local geographical region. While the term economics refers to the interactions between the parts of a system (usually with focus on the form those interactions take, the quality/quantity of that interaction). To define ‘economics’ we will say it is the study/theory of (or the philosophical inquiry into) the relationships between the parts of a system (economics is about much more than human fantasy money/financial systems).

So environment describes the boundaries of a system, while economics describes the function. From this systemic perspective we see that it is impossible to treat ‘environment’ and ‘economics’ as separate things (categories of information); because in reality these two concepts are halves of the same whole (they are both parts of the systems of existence).

In general terms, ‘sustainability’ is about the endurance of systems and processes. More importantly sustainability is about developing knowledge of systems and their processes so that we can make decisions to maintain (at least not destroy) their endurance. Because systems are comprised of (have boundaries and functions we describe in terms of) environment and economics, our analysis of sustainability (in decision making) must include both environmental and economic aspects. To only look at one aspect of systems, we will only see part of the systems overall sustainability, and as such the decisions we make will only be part as good (productive, fitting with reality, etc) as we could possible produce with the current information our species has gathered.

Environomics is a term we shall use to describe the study of systems with particular focus on sustainability (for the ultimate end of decision making). As systems are comprised of environmental and economic aspects, environomics provides us a more accurate model of the systems of existence than could be modelled by either studying environment or economics as discrete (separate) pools of information. And as we have talked about, we need more accurate models of (ways of organising) information because then we can make more accurate decisions (and this is as true in our own individual life as it is for the collective life of our society, or species).

One of the facts of existence, as described conceptually within Einstein’s theory of relativity, is that perspective matters. Because the form of (at least our informational) existence is basically system within system, within system, etc (having many layers of systems – from Universe to the systems that make up sub-atomic particles – and many systems within each layer), the particular point from which we choose to view this amazingly interconnected matrix will determine how the form (boundaries and function) of the systems appear to us (i.e. an individual human viewed as part of a social species looks rather different than a human seen from the perspective of collections of cells, which is again different to viewing a human in terms of information processing – yet all are the same, only the perspective (from where we view the information) changes).

For this reason the study of environomics, being designed to look toward (explore) the entirety of universal existence so as to develop an ever evolving ‘as complete a picture of existence as we can manage’ (given our current experiences), embraces analysis of multi-level system interaction (and our need to include various systemic perspectives from higher and lower levels, relating to whatever our subject is (its boundaries and function) at the time, so as to generate a more detailed picture for use in decision making). So when considering the overall human; environomics includes study of the physical aspect (what the physical system needs for relative health), the mental aspect (what the information processing system needs for relative health), the social aspects (what the social system needs for relative health), and also exploration of how the various aspects relate/associate (how changes to one aspect affects the other aspects).

As all of universal existence is systemically related, we could extend our environomic analysis of the individual human to include family/friend systems, the system of life, and even of the entirety of universal existence. We live in an informational world (more on this later); as there are so many parts of universal existence (many levels/layers of systems, and multitudes of systems within the levels/layers), and as humans beings are really good at creating (in this case stories, belief systems, fantasies, etc), it is rather easy to become ‘awash’ (lost adrift) in a sea of information.

To stay afloat in the sea of information we must choose our perspective, determine what we are looking at (or for). For this reason decision making is rather important for us. As the topic of decision making is rather large, we shall unravel it over a number of pieces of words organised to convey meaning (you will find the topic to be the underlying theme of this whole work).

Chapter Two – Systems 2 (systemic organisation and lateralisation)

by Rebecca 0 Comments

Organising information is important (critical actually), because the way we organise information is essential in our decision making process. While we all use something called logic, or rationality, when making decisions, this is just a tool, like a hammer (and a hammer needs something to ham, er). The thing about logic is that the results we get are only as good (as valid) as the information we put into the tool. So if our organisation of information is not that good (by not that good it is meant ‘doesn’t fit well with reality’, or ‘is based on a lot of fantasy’), then the decisions we make will be similar (i.e. not that good – meaning our decision will not fit will with the reality of universal existence).

The human body/brain organises (processes) information by making connections between three basic elements (packets of information/glyphs) – sensory, emotional, and language. Our information processing system is really good at making these connections in usual situations – such as connecting the picture of a ball and the word ball underneath, matched with the sound ‘ball’ coming from a caregiver. This basic processing of the body/brain is of a form called categorical; as in the body/brain makes connections so as to place information into categories (cat and tree are living, ball is not). There is a theory of knowledge development known as the ‘building block’ theory; which holds the idea that we develop knowledge like building a wall, larger concepts/ideas are made up of smaller concept/ideas (i.e. before we can know about calculus we need to first know about addition and subtraction and work our way up the various mathematical ‘blocks’ of concepts/ideas).

While categorical thinking is an important evolutionary stage of life (of information processing), as we mature and experience more of existence we realise that the world has a very different structure. Categorical thinking can be thought of as a building block toward systemic thinking; once we have categorised enough of the individuals of the world (seen the boundaries), we begin to see the interactions/connections (the functions) of the greater systems made up of the individual parts. Remember that the way we organise information impacts the way we make decisions, so to organise our information in a way that better reflects our universal existence will help us make better decisions within this universal existence.

Categorical thinking attempts to view the world in terms of hierarchies (a top category, made up of smaller categories, which are made up of smaller categories – and so on until all information is placed into a discrete category/box). What this means for our decision making, is that categorical thinking leads to a top-down approach to create social structures (which is really good if you want a small group to control the many – such as in currency creation, or the flow of information, or even social decision making/government). The major fault of relying on a top-down approach to developing social systems, apart from the fact that this model does not fit well with reality (and so has many inherent problems), is the fact that it has (for thousands of years) been used as a tool for social control (of the many by the few).

Just as categorical organisation of information leads to social structures of a similar form (which we call top-down), systemic organisation of information leads to social structures of a similar form (which we call ‘lateralised’, or of a lateral form). Basically, top-down structures are organised so that the matter/energy (information) within them are passed from one central point out to the individuals which make up the system (such as a central power station, central media, or central politics). On the other hand, lateralised structures are organised so that the passing of matter/energy (information) is spread (laterally) between the individuals of the system (like the ‘green’ energy grid being developed in Germany, or the participatory democracy forms practiced by some political parties in their decision making, or the way the internet has changed the flow of/access to information within our species).

With the evolution of human mind, our ability to organise information in terms of systems, we have realised that a lateral approach to social structures (rather than a top-down approach) is far better. While we could list the many practical reasons why embracing lateralisation in social organisation/structures is better for our species than top-down modelling, the main reason is that lateralisation, being based on systemic thinking (organising information in terms of systems) more accurately represents the reality of our physical (and mental) existence. And as anyone who has studied logic will tell you, the quality of the information you are working with will determine the quality of the results you get – start with poor(ly organised) information, get poor results, start with more accurate information, get more accurate results – simple.

Chapter One – Systems 1 (intro)

by Rebecca 0 Comments

Systems are everywhere. We are biological systems (humans) made up of many levels of smaller biological systems (such as organs and cells), which are themselves basically made up of smaller systems (atoms). All the individuals of our species make up a larger level system of humanity, which is part of an even larger level system known as life. Even this universe we inhabit can be viewed in terms of systems – after all we live in a solar system. Looking at the many ‘levels’ of systems, we can see that systems within these levels interact with other systems of the same level (cells interact with cells, humans interact with humans, etc). We can also see that there are relationships between the systems on various levels, such as the relationships of certain atoms which make up certain cells, which make up the system of your body.

A system is made up of individual parts, these give us the boundary of the system. What parts we include in our system depends on what system we choose to look at. If we look at a cell we will include such parts as cell wall, membrane, nucleus, etc. While if we look at a human body we might include a couple of levels of systems in our overall system called ‘human body’; such the organ systems which make up our body, and the individual cell systems which make them up, or even the information processing system interfacing the body with the rest of universal existence. While the individual parts give us the boundary of a system this is only half of the story, because the real defining aspect of a system is its function – which is the interaction of the individual parts (which gives rise to processing).  

By observing the interaction of parts we find the function of the system (how/with what the parts interact – the quantity and quality of interaction). The function of a system comes from the nature of exchange between the parts, and what is exchanged is some form of matter/energy (information). So the nature of exchange within a system is to do with the form of matter/energy (information) which is being processed (exchanged) by the individuals which make up the system. By looking at the nature of exchange, the form of matter/energy (information) received and processed, as well as knowing the individual parts (what they need to function), we can gain knowledge of the relative health (endurance) of that system.

Cause and effect is a universal principle, and so because a system process (a cause) there must be reactions (effects). Which is great for us because we can look at the reactions a system produces to give us an idea of its ability to endure (relative health) – such as the stomach ache after eating that new food, or the distinctive (and new) clunking sound coming from the engine of your car.

So systems are pretty simple really. They are made up of individual parts (the boundary of the system), and the parts interact (communicate) in a specific way (the function of the system). The way the parts of the system interact is the processing of the system; and to process the parts must receive something (matter/energy – information), and they produce reactions (such as an engine receiving fuel and a spark, processing through the physical interaction of the various parts, to produce the reaction of rotational energy to move the car).

Understanding systems is great, and handy, because it helps us analyse the ability of systems to endure (their relative health), and to make changes to improve endurance. This is enhanced the more we learn about the particular system – because by understanding how the system processes, we not only learn what to put into the system, we also learn what types of reaction the system should be producing (and with more knowledge, we can know what parts of the system need changing/improvement from the types of reactions produced – like the seasoned mechanic who can tell exactly what is wrong with an engine, and what needs to be changed, just from listening to it).
