infinit(esimal

   





.



(The student) ought to succeed in noting that 
nothing of all that is from him, is him.

He, physically and mentally, is a multitude of others.



.



This "multitude of others" includes the material – the ground, one might say – which he owes to his heredity, to his atavism, then those which he has ingested, which he has inhaled from before his birth, by the help of which his body was formed, and which, assimilated by him, have become with the complex forces inherent in them, constituent parts of his being.

On the mental plane, this "multitude of others" includes many beings who are his contemporaries: people he consorts with, with whom he chats, whose actions he watches. Thus a continual inhibition is at work while the individual absorbs a part of the various energies given off by those with whom he is in contact, and these incongruous energies, installing themselves in that which he considers his "I", form there a swarming throng.

No one thing shows the greatness and power of the human intellect or the loftiness and nobility of man more than his ability to know and to understand fully and feel strongly his own smallness. 

When, in considering the multiplicity of worlds, he feels himself to be an infinitesimal part of a globe which itself is a negligible part of one of the infinite number of systems that go to make up the world, and in considering this is astonished by his own smallness, and in feeling it deeply and regarding it intently, virtually blends into nothing, and it is as if he loses himself in the immensity of things, and finds himself as though lost in the incomprehensible vastness of existence, with this single act of thought he gives the greatest possible proof of the nobility and immense capability of his own mind, which, enclosed in such a small and negligible being, has nonetheless managed to know and understand things so superior to his own nature, and to embrace and contain this same intensity of existence and things in his thought.

Love is our true destiny. 
We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone 
—we find it with another.

If we were on a star, what would we see of that which exists on the earth?

  





.



If we found ourselves on a star, and if, from there we could see the life on our planet, we should not see modern civilization. We should for example see the events occurring in Egypt in the time of the Paraohs. 


—Alexander Ananoff

Although the interval of time that elapses between the moment when we perceive the image of an object and that at which it "left" may be infinitely short, the principle involved is the same as that which relates to the thousands of years taken by the image of the star to reach us. In both cases the conclusion is: "those things we see are images of the past".
Is there any reason for lingering to discuss problems of this kind? The Masters who inculcate the Secret Teachings do not think so. The objects providing the subject on which our cleverness is exercised have no real existence. What has to be understood is that theories and doctrines of all kinds are the fabrication of our mind.

It is impossible for us to know the reactions of beings constituted in a different way. It is, however, reasonable to think that in the same world ... different worlds are perceived by different beings according to the nature of their respective organs of perception.

Does that mean that in absolute truth our senses have made contact with a real horse, a real apricot, etc.? There is no proof of this, for the only existing proof depends on the evidence of the senses ...

We cannot presume any thing more than the existence of a stimulus which has caused the sensation that we have felt, a sensation which we have interpreted in our own way, adding to it images of our own invention.

Should we then believe that we have been taken in by a pure mirage? Not entirely. Probably the stimulus corresponds to something, but this something, that is to say the object of some kind with which one of our senses has made contact, remains unknown to us.

excerpts



.



Anyone who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter light, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light. 

And he will count the one happy in his condition and state of being, and he will pity the other; or, if he has a mind to laugh at the soul which comes from below into the light, there will be more reason in this than in the laugh which greets him who returns from above out of the light into the den.


—Plato (c.424 - 348 BC)
Republic, The Allegory of the Cave

I am large. I contain multitudes. —Walt Whitman

The secret teachings lead the pupil further. They teach him to look, with the same serene indifference, at the incessant working of his mind and the physical activity displayed by the body. He ought to succeed in understanding, in noting that nothing of all that is from him, is him. He, physically and mentally, is a multitude of others.

This "multitude of others" includes the material elements—the ground, one might say—which he owes to his heredity, his atavism, then those which he has ingested, which he has inhaled from before his birth, by the help of which his body was formed, and which, assimilated by him, have become, with the complex forces inherent in them, constituent parts of his being.

On the mental plane, this "multitude of others" includes many beings who are his contemporaries: people he consorts with, with whom he chats, whose actions he watches. Thus a continual inhibition is at work while the individual absorbs a part of the various energies given off by those with whom he is in contact, and these incongruous energies, installing themselves in that which he considers his "I", form there a swarming throng.

Celebration … is self-restraint, is attentiveness, is questioning, is meditating, is awaiting, is the step over into the more wakeful glimpse of the wonder – the wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know this.


—Martin Heidegger

I need to be silent for a while. 

Worlds are forming in my heart.

Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve. —John Wheeler

Consciousness is a coherent whole, which is never static or complete, but which is in an unending process of movement and unfoldment.


—David Bohm

Perhaps Tesla had in mind another thing altogether. 
It basically boiled down to energy/field/consciousness, which equates into electricity/magnetism/consciousness, that made up Trinity. 
Energy is your divine spark, and field is the area you exist within. 
The 2 things that allow consciousness to isolate itself is electricity and magnetism. NOTHING in the physical universe exists outside energy and field. Only then can you have consciousness reside inside a material existence. 
3:6:9. Perhaps these numbers were intentionally expressed by the pyramids of Giza? There are 9 pyramids on the Giza plateau: 3 large pyramids and 6 small “satellite” pyramids. Also, the design of the Second (Khafre) Pyramid of Giza is based on ratio 9:6. 

The Fibonacci series has a pattern that repeats every 24 numbers 

Numeric reduction is a technique used in analysis of numbers in which all the digits of a number are added together until only one digit remains. As an example, the numeric reduction of 256 is 4 because 2+5+6=13 and 1+3=4.
 
Applying numeric reduction to the Fibonacci series produces an infinite series of 24 repeating digits:1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 4, 3, 7, 1, 8, 9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2, 8, 1, 9. If you take the first 12 digits and add them to the second twelve digits and apply numeric reduction to the result, you find that they all have a value of 9. 


Marko Rodin and God’s Particle

Marko Rodin has indeed discovered natures secret about 3,6, and 9. “We have to cast out all 9’s.” 

What does that mean? It means that any number that is above the value 9 or one place value is going to be added together to get a single digit. So this means if we have a number 26, we add 2+6 to get 8, which is its “archetype”. If we do this for all numbers while doubling and halving, we get a pattern.
 
The secret to the Universe is DOUBLING and HALVING. So, number 9 is the unchanging, unwavering number that never really loses its true identity, even though it is undergoing a constant state changing.

Marko Rodin found the math to the real “God Particle” or particle of Spirit, known as Brahman in the Vedas, and he has shown how it can be observed, but not with physical instruments.

The tangible world is movement, say the Masters, not a collection of moving objects, but movement itself. There are no objects "in movements", it is the movement which constitutes the objects which appear to us: they are nothing but movement. 
What is observed is not a homogeneous and motionless block. It is a "universe" formed by a large number of particles in movement.

In every case (the sense of sight and its object) is a question of the meeting of two aggregates in motion, and also, in every case, it is a matter of a sensation followed by an interpretation which brings it into the realm of consciousness while distorting it.

3:6:9
If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then 
you would have a key to the universe.
