‘Far away in the darkness where the furthest stars recede, the infinite adjusts itself to our need.’
-Norman Nicholson
Part 3: Human Thermodynamics
As a revelation, the Pearl is a study of the way in which energy, in the form of money, moves in and out of our lives. The process of ‘unpacking’ a revelation is always an amazing time for me as information arrives both digitally through logical understanding and analogically through synchronicity. I always find that sustained contemplation eventually leads to breakthrough and even epiphany.
My recent epiphany concerns science itself and in particular the scientific laws that underpin the way we see our universe. This is important information and even though it may sound theoretical, it actually has a deep bearing on all of our lives, so please bear with me as I explore it over the course of this long article. It was Sir Isaac Newton who discovered the 2 great laws of physics – the first and second Laws of Thermodynamics. In a nutshell, the first law states that energy can never be created or destroyed, only recycled. The second law adds to this by observing how all energy flow in our observable universe has a natural tendency to move from order to disorder.
As I contemplated these laws, I found that there was a large niggle sitting inside me. Not only did they feel rather depressing, but also I have learned over the years that all good things come in threes. I knew that there must be a third law – a transcendent solution that integrates the first 2 laws and takes away my niggle! Actually there is a third law of Thermodynamics, but it was not discovered by Newton. The third law refers to the state known as ‘absolute zero’. In a nutshell it states that no object or system can ever have a temperature of absolute zero. This is a mathematical impossibility. This third law is really interesting because it attempts to resolve the great riddle of infinity. The implication is that the universe has a mathematical limit.
As you might have guessed, despite this third law my niggle still didn’t go away!
There are huge problems with the current laws of physics, and they all concern energy and time. The basic problem of physics is that a lot of energy seems to be missing in the universe! This is why scientists are running around trying to find it. If they could find the missing energy then all the theories would fit together into one grand unified theory. As a mystic, I find this hilarious to watch. You have a set of theories that don’t quite work so you go out and try and find the missing something that would make the theories work. Even so, I have a deep respect for some of these theories and the physicists who propagate them. The great niggle is of course infinity, and the current Big Bang theory really elegantly resolves the mathematical problem of infinity, by demonstrating that time itself was born at the Big Bang. But am I alone here? Even though that sounds great, doesn’t the great niggle remain? What is this feeling that nature has put inside us? Why is it that we cannot quite conceive of something as having an absolute beginning or end?
The Last Equation
I found my own epiphany in a most unusual place – in the wording of the Newtonian laws. These laws all talk about the behaviour and flow of energy within ‘a closed system’. This proved to be the source of my niggle. Through the Pearl I have learned that the process represented in the I Ching by the sixth and final line of the hexagram always represents the ‘system’ view. However, the sixth line is unique in that it could never be described as a ‘closed system’. It is more like a membrane that connects all systems together. There is an old law of esoterics that states that lower dimensions cannot comprehend higher dimensions, but higher dimensions always include lower dimensions. The sixth line process actually represents an infinite hierarchy of dimensions.
Science is based on equations. But equations are based on closed systems. Take the greatest equation for example e = mc2. This equation is only true if you cannot travel faster than the speed of light. If you could travel faster than the speed of light then this equation would break down. What I am therefore saying is that there is no such thing as a ‘closed system’. That is the only way I can make my niggle go away. Below then is my own ‘niggle- free’ version of the Third Law of Thermodynamics:
‘Infinite systems exist in infinite dimensions. On account of this truth, the existence of ‘closed’ systems can be seen as false. The perceived ‘openness’ of any system is always equivalent to the frequency of consciousness pervading it. It is therefore the degree of ‘openness’ of a given system to its own multidimensional nature that directly determines the flow of energy through that system’.
Another man once put it in another way:
‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ – JC
The problem of science is the problem of infinity. You cannot make the infinite finite. It will not be placed in a box and labelled. It cannot have a beginning or singularity without that beginning leading to another unseen dimension. All the great mystics and teachers have always testified to the truth of the eternal. As the poet says: ‘the infinite adjusts itself to our need’. But science will eventually prevail because it has logic on its side. One day, science will discover the ultimate equation – the equation that proves all science is itself an insoluble paradox. On that day, all equations will end. You cannot find the missing energy because it is in another dimension. The ‘closed system’ is only closed from this side!
The Speed of Being
You may be wondering what all of this has to do with you, your life and money? Well, it has a great deal to do with it. In an infinite universe, a great deal of energy is stored in other unseen dimensions. Not only is it stored, but it also responds to your behaviour even though you cannot see it responding. This is why my proposed Third Law concerns consciousness. You cannot measure energy without involving consciousness. Quantum physics has already discovered that. The frequency of consciousness is therefore directly related to how open it is to higher dimensions. If you view life from the frequency of the second law of thermodynamics, all you will see is entropy and disorder. However, if you view life from a higher frequency or dimension, you will see that the disorder is in fact a part of a higher order. This happens to be the essence of Chaos Theory.
All of which brings us to the black hole. The black hole hides the secret of money and prosperity. In an infinite universe, energy moves from one dimension to another through its sixth line membranes, but such membranes are not always open from both sides. To pass through a black hole physicists theorise, you would have to cease to exist. Black holes draw in matter and even light, therefore condensing time itself. But unless you are also a mystic, the truth of how to pass through a black hole will always elude you. Even faster than the speed of light is the speed of thought, but even the speed of thought, which is almost instantaneous, is drawn into a black hole. The only way therefore to move through a black hole is to dissolve back into pure being. This is what the mystics have always spoken of as the dissolution of the ego and the cessation of thought.
In human terms, such dissolution translates as selfless action, or what the Buddha called ‘right action’. Selfless action stirs energy flow in higher dimensions, and even though you may not see this flow for a long time, it nonetheless takes place. The energy of goodwill must go somewhere, but it exists at such a high frequency that it takes time to translate back through the wormhole into your life. If you are fortunate enough to discover the vision that lies inside you, even as an energy signature, then your continual trust in that vision will also activate energy in higher dimensions. All the new age-isms and clichés about manifestation are therefore absolutely true, but the great key is patience. The more you slow down, the faster it happens. Only when you come to a complete rest in your being does manifestation occur instantly. This is why physics says that it is impossible for energy to reach a temperature of absolute zero – because the lower the temperature gets, the more energy you need to lower it further. The only way therefore to reach complete standstill is to be so pure in heart that you draw energy from a higher dimension. (This is incidentally, the mystery of the 12th Gene Key).
Wormholes to Grace
The secret of the 6th line is the secret of investment. Whereas the 3rd line spends for pleasure in the now, the 6th line invests for the future. Now this investment might sound boring, but in truth that is not the kind of investment we are talking of. This is not about saving, but investing. Where do you invest your thoughts? How do you invest your emotions? Above all, how do you invest your time? Time is money. The ultimate investment is higher consciousness, because only higher consciousness connects you the individual into the whole, pulling you into harmony with all of nature. But this does not mean you should necessarily run away to the Himalayas and meditate. It means you must accept every moment you are given as a perfect sacrifice to a higher vision. If you can do that then it doesn’t matter what you do with your time because every moment is given over to a higher cause.
Eckhart Tolle teaches us the great truth that the future is created only in the present moment. This is the profoundest of mysteries. Money can be created in every moment or it can be thrown away in every moment. If you are serving a goal higher than yourself then the circumstance of your life is always the perfect money laundering facility! The trick is not to try and escape what life throws at you. You need do nothing but remain steadfast in your inner vision. The rest you must accept and move more deeply into. Everything on the mundane plane is a potential alchemical agent for higher dimensional thermodynamics. The most boring act if done willingly in the spirit of acceptance and sacrifice will release currents of vast power to work for you in a higher dimension. The magic however has a built-in testing mechanism – patience. You have to go on forgiving, you have to go on turning the other cheek to your infuriating mother-in-law and you have to become the black hole that absorbs whatever negativity life throws at you.
If you can become the black hole, then sooner or later grace must and will enter your life. It will provide you with exactly the requirements and support your need for the effortless implementation of your highest aspiration. But you will have to earn this through faith. Grace operates according to laws outside the scope of our illusionary 4-dimensional universe. But Grace does operate according to universal laws nonetheless.
These higher laws can cause what we perceive as miracles or synchronicities in our world of cause and effect. In fact, acts of grace are simply the natural distortion of our 4 dimensional vision as it meets a higher vision unbounded by the constraints of time and space. We only have to remember that the 6th line membrane is always open for business, but that it only responds to higher frequency energies.
The Umbilical Chord and the Music of Money
In the recent years and particularly since the Hubble telescope was launched, astronomers have made some momentous discoveries. Chief among these is the fact that almost every galaxy we can see appears to have a black hole at its epicentre. These ‘supermassive’ black holes present a vast mystery to science. And yet to the mystic, there is no surprise in this. The mystic knows that all life is holographic and that the macrocosmic body must therefore mirror the microcosmic. For millennia, the mystic has known that the navel centre in the human body is essentially a black hole or energy vortex that leads to the source of being itself. Moreover, the navel acts as an alchemical cauldron for the refining of all lower frequencies into higher frequencies.
In a beautiful metaphor, the navel connects us to our true mother through the great cosmic umbilical cord. In other words, the navel centre is a wormhole to a higher dimensional reality. Through this centre, we are nourished by the universe itself. In the Indian yoga systems, the navel centre is known as the ‘manipura chakra’. This root-word ‘mani’ refers to a jewel or pearl that lies at the centre of our being. The best known of all the great mantras (another word derived from the same root) is ‘om mani padme hum’ meaning ‘hail the jewel in the lotus’. In Christian mysticism the initiate is also fed by celestial ‘manna’ when he reaches the higher frequencies of consciousness. This ‘manna’ is the cosmic nutrient that moves from the mother to the child, the higher dimensional field to the lower. The prefix ‘ma’ is universally known as the vibration human culture uses to address the mother.
It does not take much imagination therefore to see how the word ‘mani’ is the same as our modern word ‘money’. Money is the physical equivalent to energy that moves from a higher dimension into our lives. The only thing we therefore have to do to draw money into our lives is attune to the mother through the umbilical cord, which means to raise the frequency of our DNA so that the higher dimension can reach down and enter our body. Money is thus all about being in harmony with the greater life. It is all musical in nature.
Financial Breakthrough – the Final Word
Throughout this article I have really only just scratched the surface of what money really is and how it works at a higher level in our lives. But before I go and massage my own navel, I have one further insight to share with you regarding what I call financial breakthrough. If you have always had trouble making money in your life, this may be a valuable insight for you to ponder.
Investment, as we have seen, is a sixth line word. It relates to the ‘system consciousness’ and the system is terrifying to the individual. The more you try and buck the system, the more isolated you end up becoming. The future of money at the higher frequency of consciousness is all about being synthesised into the system itself. There are systems beyond systems. As you therefore raise the frequency of your own consciousness, you naturally arrive at breakthrough points. Every time this occurs, it is a sign that the system is ready to integrate you into itself at a higher level. But to pass through the wormhole, your old way of being will have to be dissolved. At higher levels of consciousness, business is becoming more and more self-organised, and it does this through living fractal lines. To make a financial breakthrough you will have to merge your business in some way with that of another, and indeed with many others. You will have to allow the system to integrate your vision into a wider vision involving many other players and people. This also means you will have to give up being in control and trust the mothership to guide you in.
This collective community is the way the future of business is moving. It signifies the end of manipulation (note the root of that word), and the entrance into a greater possibility than most of us have ever dreamed of. We will have to learn to trust each other in ways that we have never had to before. Money always brings up the oldest survival fears. But through allowing the higher consciousness to suck these fears into itself, we will gradually transform the way money moves in and out of our lives. At a certain stage, the system integrates us completely and we disappear into it. This is what the mystics refer to as the ‘second birth’, and it is a stage of complete financial group harmony.
If therefore you are having trouble making money in your life, here is my advice: look to the people in your life who you trust absolutely, and go into business with them. It really is as simple as that. Finally, if you didn’t understand any of this article, I can’t say I blame you! Please allow me to give you the simpler version:
