The biggest understandings of life are almost childlike
revelations, almost childlike in their simplicity.
We mostly get to realize profound simple truths in life through
the effort of grappling with complexity, simple truths encompass extraordinary
complexity and we have these occasional breakthroughs, revelations where it all
suddenly appears so simple.
It is in some ways like learning to drive a car, it seems so complicated to begin with, so many things to remember, but once you have learnt it, it is automatic, the details are left to the subconscious
It is in some ways like learning to drive a car, it seems so complicated to begin with, so many things to remember, but once you have learnt it, it is automatic, the details are left to the subconscious
This is analogous to the quest of consciousness expansion, from searching, learning
and testing life to Aha! and then on again to the search and the next big Aha!
The Life Journey
Each level of awakening is an awakening from a dream, where we see how we have been bewitched and then we evoke a more benevolent and
abundant theatre to enter into, a more sublime circus to be enchanted by.
For example the bewitchment of fundamentalist literal religion to scientism, from scientism to the inner awakening of soul and onwards to other levels of lucidity.

A Simple Truth
For example the Sun is the source of our physical life, we
love the Sun, we worship it, we are in awe of it and we know it must be
respected. The Sun can burn us, if we do not respect him. We can be very clever
and learn about fusion and the nature of the plasma ball that we call Sun, but
it still comes down to recognizing the Sun is all powerful to us. The Sun wakes
us up, without sunlight we would not have daylight, we would not have food, we
would not have any energy, we would not be here. All the animals, plants and
rocks would not exist, the buildings would not have been built. The computer
would not exist. The Sun is our God, well it is our local god in this area of
the cosmos, it is Gods representative in our cosmic neighborhood, our cosmic neighborhood being the Solar System which is the energy field of our Sun. The
Solar System is our locals gods domain.
Who's Your Daddy?
The Sun rules the space that the Earth travels in. The Sun
has a Mummy, the Galaxy, our Galaxy, called the Milky Way, this is the Mother
of Daddy Sun. When the Sun goes to sleep, we call it night time, it is dark and
we can see what is hiding beyond the Sun. The Sun is awesome, but the Universe
we see, if we can escape the light pollution, is mind blowingly mysterious and
a place of absolute awe, it overwhelms us with wonder, our mind, our cleverness
just dissolves in its eternal, infinite expanse, we are staring into the
unlimited.
Or what seems to be unlimited from our smallness.
Yet in our smallness we feel a connection, something stirs
in us, the cosmos is not just this devouring mystery that alienates us, it
fills us with emotional yearning, something in us, not only wants to explore
it, but also feels it is our home, or our ancestry, we know somewhere in our
hearts that we come from the cosmos. Look into the night sky long enough and
you feel that you came from there, somehow, and that you will return.
But hey that is for another day, it is time to sleep,
because in the morning you have work, another day, another buck.
Coming Back to Your Life on Earth
Your body stirs, you emerge from the Land of Nod, (The Land
of Nod is a very interesting phrase more on that much much later), the
bodyclock tells you it is time to be reborn in the world, you come back and
join in again. The land of the world, looks pretty much the same each new day, but there is
some novel twists in each day, at the end of the day it is back to Nod and then
again you wake up and then…you get the idea, it is a like a wheel, is it not? Despite
the news, the latest trend, the new fashion in designer footwear, celebrity
gossip, the latest app or sports headline…and hey that is all very interesting,
stimulating and entertaining but… it is still basically the same world and more
important you still go in and out of Nod and the world every 24 hours. The
bodyclock, the circadian rhythm is your
master program, not Windows 8, no, your bodyclock is the essential software,
the bodyclock is ruled by Daddy Sun.
Look at the Zoo logo, see the gorilla and Lioness in white. The Tour De France logo has a cyclist, just two simple reminders of how things are also embedded by design.
The Sun Lord
We live within the Sun’s energy field, the Earth exists
within the Suns energy field. Everything that happens here on Earth is within
the planetary domain, the Earth’s energy field. Everything that happens on the
Earth’s surface whether it be films, celebrity, cat pictures on Facebook,
scientific theories or evolution takes place within the Earth’s energy field.
The Earth’s energy field is dependent upon the energy it receives
from the Sun and the Sun’s energy field. We call the Sun’s energy field the
Solar System. All the movements, the orbits of the planets change the flavour
of the energy that comes into and supports the Earth, that supports your
experience. Of course it is filtered, through various levels of energy,
electro-magnetic fields, the Van Allen Radiation Belts, the weather patterns
and also filtered through the totality of information output of the world.
If you read that the whole economic system is probably going to crash quite soon, your experience is heavily filtered through fear and you sort of forget about the incoming energy from the cosmos. In fact if the economy is to collapse the question of whether you change from Windows 7 to Windows 8 becomes pretty irrelevant. If you fall in love or you win a shed load of money, or you get a new home or finally get a new job that you have been after for years, the whole idea of a cosmic influx supporting and shaping your experience seems totally abstract and removed from real experience.

We are essentially being hypnotized, bewitched, enchanted by
one thing after another. This is not a bad thing, it just is the nature of
experience, we live in a world of enchantment. Whatever film you watched last
night, whatever grabbed your attention on Facebook at the end of the day, who
you were with last thing at night and the emotional interaction you had with
them affected your dreams and then also flavored the feeling you had as came back
from Nod. To a larger or smaller extent it affects the whole day ahead. The experience
of the day also depends upon the cosmic influx, most obviously if, for example, it is a full moon. Each of our days is a kaleidoscopic mix, an exotic
recipe of energies, many of which we choose, many of which we are merely
subject to.
Remember the basic context is the day and the Sun creates
days. Whose your Daddy?
The Sun travels through the Sky, starting with its
appearance in the East.
The empirical truth is that the Sun travels through the sky,
starting from the East and disappears in the West and the lights go out and we
are called to Nod. This is true, from a body perspective, each of us are in the
middle of our own universe. It is not the whole truth, but it is true. It also
true to say that the Earth is travelling around the Sun and also true that the
Sun is travelling around the Milky Way and the Milky Way is travelling around a
super galactic centre and so on into an almost infinity it would seem. We are
on a planet spiralling in some extraordinary vortical motion through the cosmic
ocean of plasma.
The Enduring Reality
The architecture, the structure of our experience, of our enduring
reality is dependent upon the architecture of nature. Starts with the Sun,
right? Yeah got you it.
Our environment shapes our experience, we can now use childlike
simplicity again.
The Mountain is big and tall and pointy and is the climb of life, the
desert is dry and empty and is the empty mind, the beauty of nature is
happiness, the wildness of nature is scary and magnificent. The Ocean is the depths
of our feelings, of our soul, the gushing river is an invigorating emotion, the
trickling stream is a delightful emotion, the green grass is a calming peaceful
feeling, the tree connects us from under the world to the sky, like a bridge. Volcanoes
are destructive and regenerative artifacts fuelled by the deep impulse of the
Earth, their eruptions are the gurgling pent up emotions and energies of the
whole planetary system.
Sex!
The beach is fun, somewhat sexy with its foaming shoreline
as sea and sand intermingle with an effervescent tingle. The lightening storm
is exhilarating, awakening, cleansing, renewing, vitalizing and waking us up. The
cave is the womb, an inner sanctuary within the Earth that if it goes deep is a
terrifying corridor into the underworld. The skyscraper is a big dong,
thrusting up, a magnificent hard on, the erection of progress--I am not judging
it particularly, just saying what it is.

The car is the ego vehicle, the roads are the thoughts that
connect things up. And so on. Literally true. Our unconscious and subconscious
is absorbing all the data of the environment we are in, on various levels of
our being and with varying degrees of sophistication. But at the base of our
psyche it is pretty basic and fundamentally raw primal essence, as in the major
shaping of the psyche is based on raw emotions and raw symbols. Freud had some of
the truth.
The Blue Sky is joy, it is heaven, the thick pale grey smog is oppressive,
whereas a sky interspersed with grey clouds and blue sky allows for more
complex contrasting feelings that can inspire, the sunset is contemplative, the
midday Sun is the peak of the day’s energy, though the night time can be
energized by the beautiful bright moving lights of the City.
We are Primed by Colours
The simple
associations of colour we have all hold in true in our soufflé of experience. Baby
pink is sentimental, Red is ardent, black is mysterious, purple is magic and has
an occult feeling, orange is often radiant and energizing and the more subtle
colours create more sophisticated frequencies of feeling. Sound also is in the
mixing bowl, the sounds of nature speak to us of our connection with body and
nature whilst the jarring sounds of industry put us on edge and stimulate the
need to survive in the world. The city sounds are adrenal, exciting and
exhausting.
The Scale of the Community Node
The Scale of the Community Node
The city sits in a natural environment, either a gentle
undulating landscape that is a mixture of male and female propensities or
perhaps a flat barren landscape that hardens the artificial and unfriendly aspect
of the city. The Town is a smaller, more conservative environment, somewhat
staid in comparison to the city, the village is more intimate, the church is
more prominent and so together these factors mean that behaviour is generally
more modified.
Enchanted? Yes We are, All the Time
Everything out there, the environment that we move around
within, shapes our experience. We are subconsciously primed by the architecture
of the world, both natural and unnatural. This includes the more obvious
primers such as advertising billboards. The architecture is further flavoured for
you by the people within it, the styles of clothing they wear, their behaviour,
their body language, their familiarity to you or their foreign-ness to you.
Each person in a crowd is walking library of physical data interconnected to
the others levels of their energy field, emotional moods, thoughts, musings,
subtle feelings all of which make up their resonance.
We are walking around in
the collective consciousness, its being expressed visibly, the sensitive person
pick up on the minute nuances of the physical interface and these signals act
as portals into the subtle fields that encompass us and interpenetrate us. In
fact we are all sensitive, not necessarily so consciously, but even the insensitive
is shaped to some extent by the energy of the mass of people that envelopes them.
Some people have very limited conscious filters; winner, loser, weirdo, cool,
hot, dangerous or safe. The subconscious will absorb the data and it will be translated by the filters that the person holds, but the environment does inform them. No exceptions.
The external environment is an external projection of
consciousness, akin to that is the fact that the computer is a reflection of
the brain. We are operating in various environments simultaneously. For example
we now have a cyberspace environment, which has its own architecture, such as, facebook,
yahoo emails, Google, websites, Youtube etc. There are also emotional and
mental environments, energy fields, subtle substances that surround and interpenetrate
the physical environment and the cyber environment.
Scanning Out Again
The Earth is traversing an electrically charged ocean of
plasma. Plasma being the fundamental state of matter, it can be likened to a
liquid gas and has been found to be highly interconnected in a holographic
manner. This means, in simplistic terms, the back ground reality is a
holographic reality, all interconnected via a complex arrangement of holonic
structures.
What Does I mean by That?
Cutting to the quick. Holographically speaking…
The architecture of the Solar System is informing consciousness.
The architecture of the Solar System is informing consciousness.
The Sun, is the source of life, the journey of light from
the Sun, is the journey of consciousness from the source into density into
physicality as it reaches Earth and thereafter it is the journey of evolution.
The whole system is an architecture of the psyche, the radiance of light from
the centre of the Solar System, the Sun, right out to the Oort Cloud, the outer
edge of the Solar System is the impulse of the expansion of consciousness. The
expansion of consciousness includes evolution and involution. Each planet
describes an area of space and an area of time, based on its physical position
in the Solar System and the duration of its orbit. The planets describe not only archetypes but stages in the
journey of consciousness. The holographic principle is also known more commonly
through the ancient dictum As Above, So Below, As within So Without.
I will elaborate more on the extraordinary truth this
perspective reveals with my next post.
My model The Enchantments of Life based on The Enchantment
Principle, outlines the holographic reality of environment, community, astronomy,
time and space. On one level it is a revision of astrology and psychology, for
it accommodates developmental psychology, (the context of all psychology) and
the interconnected developmental levels of culture without invalidating the
Jungian approach, it expands upon these principles. It appears complex at
first, but as you get it, so you see it is simply obvious.
I propose to you that if you see this, you will cut through the tangled forest of data.
