Dear friends,
Creativity takes size, so many artistic people tell us and declare contempt for the small mind which restricts creativity. Now you may have noticed that the biggest thing you will ever see is the sun and the reason why is because the gravity of the sun keeps drawing cosmic dust, meteorites and other matter towards it. The effect of gravity is that the ultimate state of the universe is to be contained within the smallest possible space. Here is a curious paradox. Everything is moving towards the sun in order to become small. Now if everything is trying to
occupy the same space does that not make us violent?
People who are trying to use spiritual philosophy to solve problems do so by claiming that this philosophy proves the problems do not exist. You cannot solve a problem that way. Human vices are deep within the psyche.
Scientists tell us that the gravity of the sun creates heat which causes a nuclear reaction. What goes in as matter comes out in the more subtle form of heat and light. It is this that makes the sun the primary symbol of the Mother and why sunbeams should not be considered phallic symbols because they radiate in all directions. The belief that the sun is male is due to the insistence that the strongest things must be male but if we examine things logically we see that the activity of the sun is female. Does this invalidate logic?
All things are moving to a centre and that centre is the source of all activity. When everything is moving the same way you have to keep things correctly ordered. That is why they
invented traffic lights.
The whole point of spiritual development is that the spiritual state is the one you will like best. We are in the state that we are in now because that is what our wills have been
directed to in the past. It was once said that if we act without considering the consequences of our actions we will increase our power to act. We do, but we do not increase our power to end up the way we want to. Action philosophies cannot be based on contempt for limitation because we must accept our limitations in order to know what it is we can do. The argument is that if we analyse we have to be aware of small differences and that makes us small minded. This is really confusing a metaphor with concrete reality. We can study ants and still understand elephants.
The ultimate source of power is a point so small it is beyond dimension and which contains all things. This is the meaning of the name Dionysos. Dio means God and nysos comes from the verb nyssein meaning to touch with a sharp point. A nysos is a chariot race turning post. The name has nothing to do with revelry, drink or the name Bacchos which means 'shout', which shows the extent to which mythology has been distorted. It cannot be understood without knowing the meaning of the names.
Here is a problem. If I alone through superior strength enter this point, it contains no power. All things are at war because no two things can occupy the same space. Gentle souls tell
us that this problem can be overcome by non-discrimination. Here is a dilemma for them. You see someone coming in the opposite direction and have to pass. Do you violently discriminate and separate your existence so you can step aside or do you harmoniously know that the two are one? There is a solution. Two objects cannot occupy the same space but two thoughts can. We
have to accept that we cannot achieve a state of undifferentiated wholeness. If this is our objective the more we destroy the closer we are to it. It is on the level of knowing that two things can remain separate things but be in perfect harmony. This is our ultimate state. We remain ourselves but know everything else as well and know ourselves perfectly. In the meantime we have to order our behaviour.
Anti-rationalism is propagandistic. They tell you that order is weakness and when you tell them the army is ordered they accuse you of being militaristic. The point of being militaristic is to act with force. If you do not want to be militaristic why do you disdain the weak? They argue that intellect comes from matter but now they are using quantum mechanics to prove that matter is chaotic. Where, then, does intellect come from?
Chaos magic is justified by a confusion. They argue that it is not possible to predict the position of a fundamental particle but uncertainty and chaos are not the same thing. Because we do not know where something is does not mean that it is chaotic.
The fallacy can best be understood by an analogy. If you were a general trying to understand the movements of an enemy you would not be able to predict the movements of
each soldier at each instant of time. If your intelligence reported this the result would be what all chaos magicians talk about; sheer overwhelming chaos. What you are looking for is movements en masse and these movements are governed by arrows drawn on a map. Where do the arrows come from?
The movement of the soldiers tends in two directions. One is to conform to the plan; the other is to disintegrate. Spiritual principles have been subordinated to politics and there are certain concepts which it is not the done thing to mention.
Governing all things is the idea of existence. This actualises substance to create a flow into existence. The purpose of spiritual development is to reflect this process in ourselves to
make every action and thought reflect an aspect of it.
The drawing of substance into a centre and its radiation outward in the form of light explains why we eat. On our level of existence it is a destructive thing, but on the highest
level it is a harmonious interaction of archetypal activity maintaining an aspect of Creation. Only the Spirit maintains perfect form. Each step further from the Spirit is a step into greater disintegration. The lowest possible world is one centred on a kind of anti-mother who is so repellent that to look at her is the greatest experience of ugliness possible for a soul. She eats everything that comes close to her, which they do from the desire for evil, and it is immediately reborn to be eaten again. This is the greatest suffering possible for a soul.
On the highest level of existence the same process takes place but with perfect harmony. Attraction is caused by the desire for perfect form which is the source of beauty. To
contemplate the image of the Mother in perfection is the most beautiful experience possible and to be in Her Presence is to be in a state of eternal recreation which is the most exciting thing possible and the source of all joy. Eating is a transformation of energy. On the highest level the rabbit runs to the fox, but the material world tends to reverse archetypal activity.
We are facing a difficult concept but one close to the cause of the fragmentation of the psyche. At the beginning when all things radiated from the centre we did not maintain the
integrity of our consciousness which meant that not all of us went in the same direction. Those trying to make us one with our ethnic roots have a problem. I am a Mancunian but that is only where most of me comes from. It is the part which contains the rational intellect showing how important this is in integrating the psyche. You can see now why some of us emigrate and some of us are interested in astronomy.
The basic division is between inner and outer. The problem is that of flowing into the centre. This is the meaning of the myth of Hermaphrodite. Aphros means 'foam' and herma means either 'prop' or 'foundation'. We are looking for our other half.
The solution to all this is to attain to the highest level of awareness that we are capable of and understand each thing on its highest level. Meditation means literally middle-tation from the Latin medius. It is meant to get us to the centre of things.
May She be with you,
David.
