It does not say <em>why<\/em> or\n<em>how<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more mysterious something is, the more we take for\ngranted that we understand it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was thought that eventually gravity would either slow the\nexpansion or contract the universe in a big crunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, images from the Hubble space telescope show that\nthe universe&#8217;s expansion seems to be actually accelerating. Expanding faster\nand faster as it grows out of the Big Bang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Dark Matter and Dark Energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Somehow, there is more mass in the universe than physics\npredicted. To account for the missing mass, physicists now say that the\nuniverse consists of only 4% atomic matter or what we consider normal matter. 23%\nof the universe is dark matter and 73% is dark energy \u2013 what we previously\nthought of as empty space. It is like an invisible nervous system that runs\nthroughout the universe connecting all things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Universe Is Vibration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ancient Vedic teachers taught <em>Nada Brahma<\/em> \u2013 the\nuniverse is vibration. The vibratory field is at the root of all true spiritual\nexperience and scientific investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the same field of energy that saints, Buddhas, yogis,\nmystics, priests, shamans and seers have observed by looking within themselves.\nIt has been called <em>Akasha<\/em>, the Primordial Om, Indra&#8217;s net of jewels, the\nmusic of the spheres, and a thousand other names throughout history. It is the\ncommon root of all religions, and the link between our inner worlds and our outer\nworlds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Indra\u2019s Net of Jewels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Mahayana Buddhism, in the third century, they described a\ncosmology not unlike the most advanced physics of modern day. Indra&#8217;s net of\njewels is a metaphor used to describe a much older Vedic teaching which illustrates\nthe way the fabric of the universe is woven together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indra, the king of the gods, gave birth to the sun and moves\nthe winds and the waters. Imagine a spider web that extends into all\ndimensions. The web is made up of dew drops and every drop contains the\nreflection of all the other water drops, and in each reflected dew drop you\nwill find the reflections of all the other droplets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire web, in that reflection and so on, to infinity.\nIndra&#8217;s web could be described as a holographic universe, where even the\nsmallest stream of light contains the complete pattern of the whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Nikola Tesla<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Serbian-American scientist, Nikola Tesla, is sometimes\nreferred to as the man who invented the 20<sup>th <\/sup>century. Tesla was\nresponsible for discovering alternating current electricity and many other\ncreations that are now part of every-day life. Because of his interest in the\nancient Vedic traditions, Tesla was in a unique position to understand science\nthrough both an eastern and western model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all great scientists, Tesla looked deeply into the\nmysteries of the outer world, but he also looked deeply within himself. Like\nthe ancient yogis, Tesla used the term <em>Akasha<\/em> to describe the etheric\nfeel that extends throughout all things. Tesla studied with Swami Vivekananda,\na yogi who brought the ancient teachings of India to the West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Akasha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Vedic teachings, <em>Akasha<\/em> is <em>space<\/em>\nitself; the space that the other elements fill, which exists simultaneously\nwith <em>vibration<\/em>. The two are inseparable. Akasha is <em>yin<\/em> to prana&#8217;s\n<em>yang<\/em>. [<em>Prana<\/em> is the Sanskrit word for breath, &#8220;life\nforce&#8221;, or &#8220;vital principle&#8221; which permeates reality on all levels\nincluding inanimate objects.] <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Fractals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A modern concept that can help us to conceptualize <em>Akasha<\/em>,\nor the primary substance, is the idea of fractals. It wasn&#8217;t until the 1960s\nthat advances in computers allowed us to actually visualize and reproduce mathematically\nthe patterns in nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term fractal was coined in by mathematician Benoit\nMandelbrot (1924-2010) who studied certain simple mathematic equations that,\nwhen they are repeated, produce an unending array of changing mathematical or\ngeometrical forms within a limited framework. They are limited, but at the same\ntime, infinite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fractal is a rough geometric shape that can be split into\nparts, each of which is approximately a reduced sized copy of the whole pattern\n\u2013 a property called self-similarity. Mandelbrot&#8217;s fractals have been called the\nthumbprint of God. You are seeing artwork generated by nature itself. If you\nturn the Mandelbrot figure a certain way, it looks sort of like a Hindu deity\nor a Buddha. This figure has been termed the &#8220;Buddhabrot&#8221; figure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at some forms of ancient art and architecture,\nyou will see that humans have long associated beauty and the sacred with\nfractal patterns. Infinitely complex, yet every part contains the seed to\nrecreate the whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fractals have changed mathematicians&#8217; views of the universe\nand how it operates. With each new level of magnification, there are\ndifferences from the original. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Constant change and transformation occur as we traverse from\none level of fractal detail to another. This transformation is the cosmic\nspiral. The embedded intelligence of the matrix of time space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fractals are inherently chaotic-full of noise and order.\nWhen our minds recognize or define a pattern, we focus on it as if it is a\nthing. We try to find the patterns we see as beautiful, but in order to hold\nthe patterns in our minds, we must push away the rest of the fractal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To comprehend a fractal with the senses is to limit its\nmovement. All energy in the universe is neutral, timeless, dimensionless. Our own\ncreativity and capacity for pattern recognition is the link between the\nmicrocosm and macrocosm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Illusion of Solidity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The timeless world of waves and the solid world of things.\nObservation is an act of creation through limitations inherent in thinking. We\nare creating the illusion of solidity, of things by labelling, by naming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The philosopher Kierkegaard said, &#8220;If you name me, you\nnegate me.&#8221; By giving me a name, a label, you negate all the other things\nI could possibly be. You lock the particle into being a thing by pinning it\ndown, naming it, but at the same time you are creating it, defining it to\nexist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creativity is our highest nature. With the creation of\nthings comes time, which is what creates the illusion of solidity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Empty Space Is Not Nothing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Einstein was the first scientist to realize that what we\nthink of as empty space is not nothing, it has properties, and intrinsic to the\nnature of space is nearly unfathomable amounts of energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The renowned physicist Richard Feynman once said,\n&#8220;there is enough energy in a single cubic meter of space to boil all the\noceans in the world.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Illusion of Continuity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced meditators know that in the stillness lies the\ngreatest power. The Buddha had yet another term for the primary substance; what\nhe termed <em>kalapas<\/em>, which are like tiny particles or wavelets that are\narising and passing away trillions of times per second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reality is, in this sense, like a series of frames in a\nholographic film camera moving quickly as to create the illusion of continuity.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When consciousness becomes perfectly still, the illusion is\nunderstood because it is consciousness itself that drives the illusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Artist and the Art Are Inseparable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the ancient traditions of the East, it has been\nunderstood for thousands of years that all is vibration. &#8220;Nada\nBrahma&#8221; \u2013 the universe is sound. The word &#8220;nada&#8221; means sound or\nvibration and &#8220;Brahma&#8221; is the name for God. Brahma, simultaneously IS\nthe universe and IS the creator. The artist and the art are inseparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Upanishads, one of the oldest human records in\nancient India, it is said &#8220;Brahma the creator, sitting on a lotus, opens\nhis eyes and a world comes into being. Brahma closes his eyes, and a world goes\nout of being.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>A Field at the Root Level of Consciousness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ancient mystics, yogis and seers have maintained that there\nis a field at the root level of consciousness. The <em>Akashic<\/em> field or the <em>Akashic<\/em>\nrecords where all information, all experience past, present and future, exists\nnow and always. It is this field or matrix from which all things arise. From\nsub-atomic particles, to galaxies, stars, planets and all life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You never see anything in its totality because it is made up\nof layer upon layer of vibration and it is constantly changing, exchanging\ninformation with <em>Akasha<\/em>. A tree is drinking in the sun, the air, the\nrain, the Earth. A world of energy moves in and out of this thing we call a\ntree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Seeing Reality as it Is<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the thinking mind is still, then you see reality as it\nis. All aspects together. The tree and the sky and the Earth, the rain and the\nstars are not separate. Life and death, self and other are not separate. Just\nas the mountain and the valley are inseparable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Everything Has Spirit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the native American and other indigenous traditions it is\nsaid that everything has spirit which is simply another way of saying\neverything is connected to the one vibratory source. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>One Consciousness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one consciousness, one field, one force that moves\nthrough all. This field is not happening around you, it is happening THROUGH\nyou and happening AS you. You are the &#8220;U&#8221; (you) in universe. You are\nthe eyes through which creation sees itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you wake from a dream you realize that everything in\nthe dream was you. You were creating it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So-called real life is no different. Everyone and everything\nis you. The one consciousness looking out of every eye, under every rock,\nwithin every particle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Searching for the Field that Extends Throughout all Things<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>International researchers at CERN, the European laboratory\nfor particle physics, are searching for this field that extends throughout all\nthings. But instead of looking within, they look to the outer physical world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland\nannounced that they had found the Higgs Boson, or the God Particle. The Higgs\nBoson experiments prove scientifically that an invisible energy field fills the\nvacuum of space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CERN&#8217;s large hadron collider consists of a ring 16 miles in\ncircumference, in which two beams of particles race in opposite directions,\nconverging and smashing together at nearly the speed of light. Scientists\nobserve what comes out of the violent collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard model cannot account for how particles get\ntheir mass. Everything appears to be made of vibration but there is no &#8216;thing&#8217;\nbeing vibrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is as if there has been an invisible dancer, a shadow\ndancing hidden in the ballet of the universe. All the other dancers have always\ndanced around this hidden dancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have observed the choreography of the dance, but until\nnow we could not see that dancer. The so-called &#8220;God Particle&#8221;, the\nproperties of the base material of the universe, the heart of all matter which\nwould account for the unexplained mass and energy that drives the universe&#8217;s\nexpansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But far from explaining the nature of the universe, the\ndiscovery of the Higgs Boson simply presents an even greater mystery, revealing\na universe that is even more mysterious than we ever imagined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Consciousness and Matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Science is approaching the threshold between consciousness\nand matter. The eye with which we look at the primordial field and the eye with\nwhich the field looks at us are one and the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The German writer and luminary Wolfgang Von Goethe said,\n&#8220;the wave is the primordial phenomenon which gave rise to the world.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Cymatics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cymatics is the study of visible sound. The word <em>cymatic<\/em>\ncomes from the Greek root &#8220;cyma&#8221; which means wave or vibration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first Western scientists to seriously study wave\nphenomenon was Ernst Chladni, a German musician and physicist, who lived in the\neighteenth century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chladni discovered that when he spread sand on metal plates\nand then vibrated the plates with a violin bow, the sand arranged itself into\npatterns. Different geometrical forms appeared depending on the vibration\nproduced. Chladni recorded an entire catalogue of these shapes and they are\nreferred to as Chladni Figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these patterns can be found throughout the natural\nworld. Such as the markings of the tortoise or the spot patterns of the\nleopard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studying Chladni Patterns or cymatic patterns is one secret\nway in which high-end guitar, violin and other instrument makers determine the\nsound qualities of the instruments they make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hans Jenny expanded on Chladni&#8217;s work in the 1960&#8217;s using\nvarious fluids and electronic amplification to generate sound frequencies and\ncoined the term &#8220;cymatics&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you run simple sine waves through a dish of water, you\ncan see patterns in the water. Depending on the frequency of the wave,\ndifferent ripple patterns will appear. The higher the frequency, the more\ncomplex the pattern. These forms are repeatable, not random. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you observe, the more you start to see how\nvibration arranges matter into complex forms from simple repeating waves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Water Vibration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This water vibration has a pattern similar to a sunflower.\nSimply by changing the sound frequency, we get a different pattern. Water is a\nvery mysterious substance. It is highly impressionable. That is, it can receive\nand hold onto vibration. Because of its high resonance capacity and sensitivity\nand an inner readiness to resonate, the water responds instantaneously to all\ntypes of sonic waves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vibrating water and earth make up the majority of mass in\nplants and animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to observe how simple vibrations in water can\ncreate recognizable natural patterns but as we add solids and increase the\namplitude, things get even more interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding corn starch to water, we get more complex phenomena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the principles of life itself can be observed as\nvibrations move the corn starch blob into what appears to be a moving organism.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Animating Principle of the Universe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The animating principle of the universe is described in\nevery major religion using words that reflect the understanding of that time in\nhistory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the language of the Incas, the largest empire in\npre-Columbian America, the word for &#8220;human body&#8221; is &#8220;alpa\ncamasca&#8221; which means literally, &#8220;animated earth&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kaballah, or Jewish Mysticism, they talk about the divine\nname of God. The name that cannot be spoken. It cannot be spoken because it is\na vibration that is everywhere. It is all words, all matter. Everything is the\nsacred word. The <em>tetrahedron<\/em> is the simplest shape that can exist in\nthree dimensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Tetrahedral Shape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Something must have at least four points to have physical\nreality. The triangle structure is nature&#8217;s only self-stabilizing pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Old Testament the word &#8220;tetragrammaton&#8221; was\noften used to represent a certain manifestation of God. It was used when\ntalking about the word of God or the special name of God, Logos or primordial\nword. The ancient civilizations knew that at the root structure of the universe\nwas the tetrahedral shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of this shape, nature exhibits a fundamental drive\ntoward equilibrium; Shiva. While it also has a fundamental drive towards\nchange; Shakti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Logos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Bible, the gospel of John usually reads, &#8220;in the\nbeginning was the word&#8221; but in the original text the term used was\n&#8220;Logos&#8221;. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus, who lived around 500 years\nbefore Christ, referred to the Logos as something fundamentally unknowable. The\norigin of all repetition, pattern and form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stoic philosophers who followed the teachings of\nHeraclitus identified the term with the divine animating principle pervading\nthe universe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Sufism, the Logos is everywhere and in all things. It is\nTHAT out of which the unmanifest becomes manifest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Cosmic Dance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Hindu tradition, <em>Shiva Nataraja<\/em> literally\nmeans &#8220;lord of the dance&#8221;. The whole cosmos dances to <em>Shiva<\/em>&#8216;s\ndrum. All is imbued or ensouled with the pulsation. Only as long as <em>Shiva<\/em>\nis dancing can the world continue to evolve and change, otherwise it collapses\nback into nothingness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>Shiva<\/em> is representative of our witnessing\nconsciousness, <em>Shakti<\/em> is the substance or stuff of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>Shiva<\/em> lies in meditation, <em>Shakti<\/em> tries\nto move him, to bring him into the dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like <em>yin<\/em> and <em>yang<\/em>, the dancer and the dance\nexist as one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Logos as the Unconcealed Truth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Logos also means unconcealed truth. He who knows the Logos,\nknows the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many layers of concealment exist in the human world as <em>Akasha<\/em>\nhas been swirled into complex structures concealing the source from itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a divine game of hide and seek, we have been hiding for\nthousands of years, eventually forgetting about the game completely. We somehow\nforgot that there is anything to find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Buddhist Meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Buddhism, one is taught to directly perceive the Logos,\nthe field of change or impermanence within oneself through meditation. When you\nobserve your inner world, you observe subtler and subtler sensations and\nenergies as the mind becomes more concentrated and focused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the direct realization of &#8220;annica&#8221; or\nimpermanence at the root level of sensation, one becomes free of attachment to\ntransient external forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>One Vibratory Field<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we realize there is one vibratory field that is the\ncommon root of all religions, how can we say &#8220;my religion&#8221; or\n&#8220;this is my primordial Om&#8221;, &#8220;my quantum field&#8221;? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The true crisis in our world is not social, political or\neconomic. Our crisis is a crisis of consciousness, an inability to directly\nexperience our true nature. An inability to recognize this nature in everyone\nand in all things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Buddhist Bodhisattva<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Buddhist tradition, the &#8220;Bodhisattva&#8221; is\nthe person with an awakened Buddha nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Bodhisattva vows to help to awaken every being in the\nuniverse, realizing that there is only one consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To awaken one&#8217;s true self one must awaken all beings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are innumerable sentient beings in the universe.\nI vow to help them all to awaken. My imperfections are inexhaustible. I vow to\novercome them all. The Dharma is unknowable. I vow to know it. The way of\nawakening is unattainable. I vow to attain it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scripts.com\/\">https:\/\/www.scripts.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formatting of pages with sub-headings produced by Alexander Peck (December 31, 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a PDF copy of the transcript of &#8220;Akasha&#8221;, please click <a href=\"http:\/\/dying-and-death-reflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Inner-Worlds-Outer-Worlds-Transcript-Sub-headings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/dying-and-death-reflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0207-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Inner Worlds Outer Worlds\" class=\"wp-image-702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dying-and-death-reflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0207-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dying-and-death-reflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0207-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dying-and-death-reflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0207-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dying-and-death-reflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0207-1536x1153.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dying-and-death-reflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0207-2048x1537.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><br><strong>Reflection:  Akasha is the unmanifested, the \u201cnothing\u201d or emptiness that fills the vacuum of space.
