Mathological Dialectics (The Evolution of God):
Below, written April 2012 in Bakersfield, CA, by Allan
Ralph Andrews, born September 13th 1939 in Long Beach,
Ca, 4:03 AM to Jean (Thompson) Andrews (remarried in
1954 as Mrs. Paul Colaluca) and Ralph B. Andrews (Son of
Alice (Smith) Andrews and Allen Andrews).
David Deutsch has recently written “The Beginning of
Infinity,” (Viking, 2011). Here he develops the critical
rationalism of Karl Popper that suggest that science is all
about the simplest possible explanation for the observed
that can be confirmed, that is effective as an explanation
with the broadest possible reach. Current skepticism
tends to reject many of the explanations that have this
reach simply because they seem too broad. This is not
good philosophy.
Models that seem most successful are those that can
accommodate the duality of reality, its ability to generate
particles that are also waves, to locate position without
speed, etc. Relational dialectics has suggested a model
for communication that pairs novelty to predictability,
openness to closure, autonomy to connection,
impartiality to favoritism. This is similar to the system of
antimonies of Immanuel Kant: infinite to finite,
indeterminate to determinate, simple to complex,
necessary to contingent. It is also similar to the trigram
system of the Chinese I Ching: Heaven to Earth, Fire to
Water Gorge, Mountain to Lake, Penetrating Wind to
Thunder. It seems to be applicable to many things, for
example tempers in art: romantic to realistic, cubist to
baroque, impressionist to post-impressionist, classical to
expressionistic, stages of evolution: mutation to
phenotypic result, natural selection and extinction to
replication and feedback homeostasis, speciation and
genetic isolation to recombination and population
genetics, set points and adaptive peaks to maladaptive
gene expressions.
These eight sided systems, cube, octahedron seem to
develop around an axis of three primary oppositions:
energy flux to information systems, private
phenomenology to public space time, boundless
integration to local quantum mechanical particle physics.
The materialistic world known to science is rooted in four
of the six, the opposition of thermodynamic energy to
mathematical structure potential and information
systems. At the level of the small, these systems are
described by quantum mechanics, an at the level of the
large, by space time relativity. To complete this system,
and to expand it beyond the material realm known to
science, all that is needed is an infinitesimal being from
within phenomenological monad that turns energy into
passion and information into knowledge, integration into
pleasure and disintegration into pain, the private into
here and now time and the public into space time
relations and associations of that private here and now
time. Finally, all of this is bound together in the
boundless one.
In respect to the I Ching systems, the private infinitesimal
is young son yang and the public is young daughter yin,
the particulate is middle daughter yin and the everything
one is middle son yang. Energy is old son yang and
information is old daughter yin. From these three
polarities, all other things are created. The primary
source of creation is the Heaven Trigram where the old
son yang is the dance of energy flux and the middle son
yang is its boundless extension and integration, while
young son yang is its creative extension into the endless
generation of monad of infinitesimal generative
phenomenological now. This is mirrored in the
information systems of old daughter yin to propogate the
manifest world of particle physics in middle daughter yin
and space time relativity in young daughter yin. The
result is a Heaven Trigram equivalent to the God of
Alfred North Whitehead, but with a Hindu twist, Shiva as
the dance of old son yang, Vishnu as its boundless
extension and integration in Brahman Nirvana middle
son yang, and Brahma as its creative expression in an
infinity of avatars in young son yang. Out of this creation
comes the adaptive peaks of the Wind Trigram Form of
The Good, the “eternal objects” of Whitehead’s
metaphysics that generate hierarchies of systems in
Water Gorge Trigram that are experience by the
attached phenomenological mind in Mountain Trigram as
“prehensions” and in Earth Trigram as “actual occasions,”
in Flame Trigram as open “processes” and in Thunder
Trigram as “events” and recombined in Lake Trigram and
various forms of “nexus.” Here we see a metaphysical
calculus in Heaven Trigram generating expanding circles
of algebraic theory in Wind and set theory in Water
Gorge and group theory in Lake. From this comes the
arithmetic of the measurable world in Earth and the
prediction of emergent form in the statistics and
probability theory of Thunder, finally measured in the
analytic geometry and trigonometry of Mountain and the
topology of Flame.
Young son yang is the imaginary number and young
daughter yin in the statistical norm in real numbers. Old
daughter yin is the zero point between the rational
negative and rational positive numbers and old son yang
is a fluctuating dance of irrational unknown exponential
functions. Middle daughter yin is variously a root, a
fraction, a wave function of the above and middle son
yang is an endless expansion of the systems of formulas
for integrating all of the above into something complex
and orderly and harmonious and creative in the extreme,
thus the highest form of the good and the beautiful. But
since all of this integration is spun out of the void,
emerges from the circle that expands out of the zero
point, it is at once God and Nirvana, at once everything
and nothing depending on your point of view.
So the book you wish to use depends on the way you
decide to look at it. Hinduism tends toward the
schizotypal and the Heaven Trigram romantic and
Western Materialism toward the Earth Trigram
depressed and realistic. Existentialism tends toward a
Flame Trigram sadism and Rationalism toward a
mechanistic masochism. The classical point of view
tends toward the paranoid and its expressionistic market
opposite toward pragmatic histrionics. Philosophy and
logic tend toward the skeptical and the negativistic and
their dogmatic opposite toward a borderline point of
view that sends the believer to heaven and the
disbeliever to some terrible hell.
The astrological evidence presented by Richard Tarnas in
“Cosmos and Psyche” supports some sort of masochistic
fate, a divine mechanism that we are captured in. In
contrast, the tone in Michael Talbot’s “Holographic
Universe” and Ernest Holmes “This Thing Called You”
supports the supernatural and the romantic (emphasizes
the Heaven Trigram magical). Lawrence M. Krauss, in “A
Universe from Nothing,” describes and emerging cosmos
that seems to belong to the Thunder Trigram of the
chaotic and the histrionic (facing catastrophic
exhaustion). David Deutsch, in “The Beginning of
Infinity” is more philosophical and skeptical, ready to
reject and mythical dogmatic resolution to the final
questions.
My guess is that all are true in measure. I imagine that
there is a continual expansion of energy out of the zero
point that endlessly expands the possible, so that
anything possible is true somewhere and somehow.
Even so there is also a principle of integration and
harmony that allows the development of systems and of
local unions of systems that might be called mind or
buddhamind or god and that all of these integration
systems tend to fuse as somepoint in some way. But, if
these systems are to take on concrete form they must
attach to the concrete and to some extent disintegrate,
unravel their connection to the boundless whole. At
some point this must cause a certain amount of
limitation, loss and suffering. Attachment to local
pleasure must come at the expense of cosmic bliss.
Which is what the great saints and Buddhas have been
saying from day one.
The result is a real world of visible events in Earth and
Thunder that generate mental events in more complex
organisms in Mountain Trigram mind and choices in Fire
Trigram. The infinitesimal phenomenological monad that
attaches to this mental complex is some kind of atom of
pure creative generativity, an Atman, Pneuma, Jiva, a bit
of the Creative Spirit which emerges in the boundless
possibility of the Heaven Trigram and integrates with
cosmic mind and cosmic harmony in the Wind Trigram,
and order which is shadowed in the astrological systems
of Water Gorge cosmic government and Lake Trigram
systems of birth and reincarnation, and association of
creative monads together to generate astral bodies,
complexes that allow them to attach to local minds and
find rebirth in the world as described by Talbot in the
“Holographic Universe.”
Allan Andrews, April 25th 2012, Bakersfield, CA.
What we find then is an open pluralist system emerging
from an infinite flux that makes everything possible that
generates emergent evolution in various forms, but also
generates a systems that isolate and develop set points
and organic patterns that grow like wood, hence Wind
Trigram is also Wood trigram. These patterns develop
attachments to local finite evolving systems. The result is
complex associations that play between the plural in
Flame and monotheistic astrology in Water Gorge,
between the possible in Heaven and the realized actual
in Earth, between the emergent in Thunder and the Set
Point Pattern in Wind, between a complex synthesis of
birth and rebirth and soul atom association in Lake and
the local skeptical mind of the attached soul in Mountain.
Something quite different now: The five elements of
Chinese mythology are five of the twelve sides of a
mythical dodecahedron that can be imposed upon the
cube octahedron wheel of the eight trigrams. Start with
the center which is Wind Trigram and make that the
Noble Gas Pentagon. Put the lower edge of the
pentagon on Earth Trigram and create a new pentagon
called Soil, next to Soil make four more pentagons: Salt,
Sunlight, Rain, and Pottery in that order. Now put the
Music pentagon on the opposite side of the emerging
dodecahedron from Noble Gas and add Fire Pentagon
opposite to Pottery Pentagon and Wood Pentagon
opposite Soil Pentagon and Water Pentagon opposite
Salt Pentagon and Metal Pentagon opposite Sunshine
Pentagon and Earth Pentagon opposite Rain Pentagon.
Now you have created the Dodecahedron of the Five
Elements and their Five Opposites. Now Salt Pentagon
dominates Mountain Trigram and Water Pentagon
dominates Lake Trigram. Earth Trigram is the place
where Metal Pentagon and Soil Pentagon and Earth
Pentagon come together and Heaven Trigram is the
union of Sunshine, Rain, and Wood Pentagons. Fire
Pentagon dominates Fire Trigram and Pottery Pentagon
dominates Water Pit Trigram. Wind Trigram is
dominated by Noble Gas Pentagon and Thunder Trigram
is dominated by Music Pentagon. Which gets its sound
from the neighboring pentagons, for you can make music
by striking metal and wood, fire crackles and water
burbles and rocks from the earth make sounds when
they strike things. But salt and sunshine are silent, and
also misty rain, and the clay you use to make pots, till it is
properly fired (thus getting its sound from the fire that
melts it). This illustrates how the five Chinese elements
can enter into a dodecahedron that can be imposed
upon the octahedron, cube of the trigrams.
This shows how many symbol systems and structures can
provide the same functions. The symbol systems of the
Heaven Trigram tend to be polytheistic (some forms of
Hinduism, for example). Those of Water Pit, Water
Gorge are usually more monotheistic, thus Islam, or
focused, thus, the Buddha, Dharma, Sanga sequence of
Buddhism focuses everything on Buddhamind Oneness
pointing to a Nirvana Void One. Systems that emphasize
a cosmic mind, or systems, work better in Wind Trigram,
while Lake Trigram joys in the dogmas of the universal
churches and their dualism, that dams their rivals to
various hells and elevates themselves to heaven:
Christianity, Ancient Persian Religion, Mahayana
Buddhism, etc. Mountain Trigram tends toward debate
and skepticism (opposite of the dogma of Lake) and Earth
toward atheism and materialism (opposite of the magical
thinking of Heaven), Thunder is more pragmatic and
hedonistic (opposite of the Classical virtues of Wind),
Fire/Flame is existential and experimental (opposite of
the absolutism, the inquisitions, the heavy hand of Sultan
and Pope in Water Pit/Water Gorge).
Civilization passes slowly from its primitive aboriginal
condition centered in Heaven Trigram magic toward the
writing and culture based monarchy and aristocracy, the
noble castes of Wind Trigram. Finally democracy arrives
with utilitarian Earth Trigram, along with industrial
revolutions, communication revolutions bring market
based Thunder Trigram and set the species up for new
Heaven Trigrams as it explores space. There is also a
movement from Fire/Flame through Mountain Trigram,
Water Pit and Water Gorge and finally Lake Trigram, as
raiding external proletariats, like the Greeks, settle down
and build city states, thus changing Fire Trigram warlike
competition to Mountain Trigram debate. Soon universal
states develop like the Roman Empire, in Water
Pit/Water Gorge Trigram, they dissolve into universal
churches and imitative empires like the Byzantine and
the Russian Orthodox in Lake Trigram, setting the stage
for new rounds of external raids in Fire/Flame like those
of the Saracen and the Viking.
But what if all of this is indeed just a shadow of
something deeper. This was the point of view of Ernest
Homes who decided to view it from the point of view of a
simple opening on the individual. If we set ourselves up
in the Flame and Fire Trigram, the whole system of
metaphysics is spread out before us. The mountain
trigram turns on young son yang in the Pneuma of the
creative spirit, which is the entrance of the infinitely
creative Heaven Trigram into the mind through the
indwelling jiva of phenomenological awareness. Mind
connects with universal mind in old daughter yin as the
information systems of psyche enter the orderly systems
of Water Pit and Water Gorge that collectively order Lake
Trigram. Finally the middle daughter yin of the body, of
mother nature opens up the world of emergent
evolution in Thunder Trigram. We have three systems to
study this, Science in Earth Trigram materialism,
philosophy in Wind Trigram metaphysics, and finally
religion in Lake Trigram church and dogma. Ultimately
our freedom in Flame Fire Trigram allows us to rule the
three gunas, the rajas guna of old son yang creative
change, the tama guna that rules the middle daughter
yin of the body, and the sattva guna, the young son yang
that connects the jiva soul to Christ Mind and Buddha
Mind in Wind Trigram. It is this vision that Ernest Holmes
offers as the simple key to this complex whole in his
works like “This Thing Called You.”
Allan Andrews, April 26th 2012, Bakersfield, CA
The complex relationships of dodecahedra and
octahedral can be simplified in a tetrahedron of four
parts, the open spot, the Fire Element that gazes on the
Air Element, the metaphysical, the Water Element, the
ideological and mythical, and the Earth Element, the
material and scientific. But even more simple in the
triangle of the Mountain Trigram, the simplifying mind
that looks to infinite creativity in Heaven Trigram
becoming the creative spirit in young son yang fertilizing
old daughter yin in the order and system of Water Pit
Trigram an the collective unconscious of Lake Trigram to
generate the manifest world of Earth and Thunder
through the medium of the Body of middle daughter yin.
The key notion here is the fundamental duality of the
individual discovering his origin in the transcendent as it
collectively responds to the individual in generating its
reaction in the manifest world. But this has a higher
meaning: the fundamental unity of all things in divine
mind as the good that moves from Wind Trigram to
Water Pit Trigram perfection, the true that enters Wind
Trigram from Mountain Trigram in the discovery of the
pure enduring principles, and finally the beautiful that
flows from the creative abundance of Heaven Trigram
into the ideal set point that is Wind. This is the Father
Mother God as the creation of beauty, the Son as the
word, logos of truth, of Buddha as enlightenment, and
finally the Holy Spirit as the good, the wholesome
perfection of all purposes in the endless integration of
the boundless.
Allan Andrews, April 26th 2012
The purest pleasure belongs to the boundless one, but
this pleasure is diffuse and weak, it is the pleasure of
deep sleep. To strengthen the pleasure, soul seeks
wakefulness and attachment, this can generate
passionate, concentrated, pleasure, but at the expense
of addiction and attachment and potential pain and
suffering. To gain a body that is integrated enough to
assure continued pleasure, the soul monad associates
with other soul monads to create attachment structure,
attachment bodies that facilitate their attachment to
favorable organic bodies in the finite realm. Typically
they will seek wild, unexplored places, like this universe
because there is less competition for the bodies
available, but the risk of the colonization of such remote
areas is the potential domination by demonic beings and
possible entrapment in various forms of hells and
purgatories. Salvation from such entrapment is provided
by contact with savior beings, angels, messengers from
the realms of organized spiritual virtues, equivalents of
the paradise of heaven in Dante’s Divine Commedia.
Mythological versions of this story are common in the
theology of many human religions: Hinduism, Catholic,
Orthodox, Protestant Christianity, Ancient Persian
religion, Islam, Chinese Taoism, Chinese, South Asian,
Japanese, and Tibetan Buddhism, Jewish Theology in
various Orthodox, Conservative, and Reformed
variations, Pythagorean belief, Ancient Egyptian religious
forms, mystery religions in Ancient Greece and Rome,
etc. and etc.. Various Native American systems including
Mayan, etc..
This salvation process is one of the most pleasurable
experiences available. The intense energy released in
the process of reintegrating awareness to the central
whole can generate a high degree of creative integration
associated with Buddhist and Christian Compassion and
Islamic beneficence. Thus, salvation from suffering, from
hells, salvation of this type is considered one of the
highest levels of spiritual experience. It is the message of
Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the Christian Gospels,
the Books of the Buddhist Tripitaka, etc.
So the infinite flux (Heaven Trigram) that makes the
improbable probable generates the most perfect
improbable (Wind Trigram) that is the Platonic Form of
the Good, Alfred North Whitehead’s Eternal Objects, the
set points of the order of all things, the Buddhamind,
Christmind, Cosmic Mind, this emerges out of old son
yang (God Shiva, the destroyer) into middle son yang
(God Vishnu, the preserver, who preserves this into the
boundless everything void that is Brahman and Nirvana
and the Hen One of Plotinus, the God of Spinoza’s Ethics)
which forms the old daughter yin, the Law of Mind out of
young son yang (God Brahma the creator that generates
the infinity of avatars of Vishnu in the atman jiva pneuma
monads of the infinitesimal). Young daughter yin, the
cosmic systems in relativistic space and time emerge out
of the Water Pit Water Gorge Trigram that is the
collective unconscious and the Dharma that is spun out
of the Karma of old son yang in Lake Trigram
recombination generates by complex associations of
souls in astral bodies ruled by astrological systems in
Water Pit Trigram generating evolutionary emergence in
Thunder Trigram and the physical and natural result in
Earth Trigram out of the quantum mechanics of middle
daughter yin in the Soma, the Body that provides the
basis for the prehensions, the empirical mind of the
individual, the attached monad in Mountain Trigram
emerging out of the competition of monads in Flame Fire
Trigram generated from the three gunas of sattva guna
young son yang and rajas guna old son yang manifest in
tamas guna middle daughter yang and the dance of Shiva
in old son yang allows the monad of the
phenomenological self in young son yang to court middle
daughter yin experience in the Soma, the physical body
to which it chooses to attach.
Young son yang involves the inner phenomenology and
young daughter yin involves relativistic public time and
space. Middle daughter yang is the particle events
known to physics and middle son yang is the everything
whole that is an object of mythology and worship. Old
son yang is pure energy from without and passion from
within and old daughter yin is pure information from
without and knowledge from within. Thus, we have six
utter opposites known in six utterly different ways,
private within and public without, science fact parts and
religious myth wholes, a dance of flux in energy and
enduring logical patterns in information systems. From
these oppositions in yang and yin is generated the
supersystem of all things. Heaven as supernatural magic
and Earth as natural science, Wind as metaphysical ideals
and Thunder as practical contingency, Flame as open
alternatives and Water Pit as cosmic fate derived from
the astrological government of birth and rebirth,
Mountain as skepticism and logical debate and Lake as
complex systems of belief, of birth and death, as the
roots of astrology in the mythology and dogma
generated from complex associations in the literature
that emerges from the collective unconscious.
Basically what happens is old son yang, the God Shiva,
dances out an infinity of patterns that fertilize the
potentials in the eternal womb of Santa Sophia, holy
wisdom in old daughter yin (Mother Kali). From this
emerges an ever more perfect sequence of goodness, of
ideals for the integration of all things as beauty, coming
from Heaven Trigram, as morality going into the
governing systems of all things in the feed back
mechanisms, the Dharma-Karma of Water Pit Trigram,
endlessly recombined in the collective unconscious
deeps of Lake Trigram birth and rebirth. Finally entering
the truth that is local mind in Mountain Trigram and local
freedom in Flame, out of this comes the shadow of the
good, the actual occasions, the events of Earth Trigram,
evolving and emerging in Thunder Trigram.
A series of books is helpful in understanding what is
involved: Lawrence M. Krauss, “A Universe From
Nothing,” Arnold Mindell, “Quantum Mind,” Paul J.
Nahim, “Dr. Euler’s Fabulous Formula,” James P. Carse,
“Finite and Infinite Games,” Ernest Holmes, “What
Religious Science Teaches,” and “Your Invisible Power,”
“The Science of Mind,” John Gribbin, “In Search of the
Multiverse,” Richard Tarnas, “Cosmos and Psyche,”
Alfred North Whitehead, “Science and the Modern
World,” Brian L. Weiss, “Many Lives, Many Masters,”
Michael Talbot, “The Holographic Universe,” Gregory
Bateson, “Steps To an Ecology of Mind,” David Deutsch,
“The Fabric of Reality,” and “The Beginning of Infinity,”
Dianne Hennacy Powell, “The ESP Enigma,” Richard S.
Broughton, Parapsychology, The Controversial Science,”
Roger J. Woolger, “Other Lives, Other Selves,” Gottfried
Whilhelm Von Leibnitz, “The Monadology,” Immanuel
Kant, “The Critique of Pure Reason,” Johann Gottlieb
Fichte, “The Science of Knowledge,” “The Vocation of
Man,”
Existence is a tetrahedron of the four Greek elements,
“Fire,” a symbol for the vacuum, the opening in the order
of things, the endless expansion of nothing described by
Krauss in “A Universe From Nothing. “Water” is the
complexity, the improbable that is made probable by
infinite flux, it is “The Esp Enigma,” described by Dianne
Hennancy Powell, the Jungian “synchronicity” in “Cosmos
and Psyche,” by Tarnas and it generate the complex
cycles of birth and rebirth, the recombination on a deep
level, described by Woolger in “Other Lives, Other
Selves.” The process teases the improbable out of the
possible. The improbable is symbolized by “Air.” It is the
mathematical order called the “Form of the Good” by
Plato and “Eternal Objects,” by Alfred North Whitehead.
The teasing of mathematical order out of this realm of
“Eternal Objects” generates the systems theory
described by Gregory Bateson, which is the source for
the emergence in the world of the Earth element, the
symbol for the intersection of middle daughter yin
quantum mechanics, younger daughter yin space time
relativity, old daughter yin mathematics and systems
potential to generate the Earth Trigram world measured
and investigated by science as described by David
Deutsch.
Ernest Holmes describes how the law of mind, the feed
back system that emerges from the realm of Air as it
generates Earth, creates the Water element, he calls this
aspect of mind “race thought,” Jung called it the
collective unconscious.” If Holmes describes the law of
mind (this is the Dharma of the East that reacts to the
Karma that is the activity of the Fire element), the
emergence of the Air Element into Fire, Water, Earth
through the Thunder Trigram are described in John
Gribbin’s “In Search of the Mulitiverse,” in respect to
physical science, and in Bernhard Rensch’s “Evolution
above the Species Level,” and in the papers submitted
for the Univesity of Chicago Darwinian Centennial, edited
by Sol Tax at the life science level, and for the social
sciences in Arnold J. Toynbee’s “A Study of History.”
There are many references to the processes by which the
mind becomes the source of the salt crystallized by the
water element and dissolved in the collective
unconscious, one of the better discussions of the process
by which this salt aspect of the water element relates to
the heaven aspect of the earth element can be found in
the Quantum Mind by Arnold Mindell.
The expanding circle, sphere that is defined by pi as the
infinite curve of the boundless seeking to integrate each
infinitesimal monad of the now is the symbol of the
realm of Eternal Objects, of the Air Element of the Wind
Trigram that penetrates to the core of all things. This
sphere is the Sun, as Aton, as the symbol of the One. The
symbol “e” represents the natural expansion of the
energy released by emergent processes and “i”
represents the root that turns inward from the external
world of information to the internal world of knowledge,
from external energy to internal passion, from external
integration and disintegration to internal pleasure and
pain, from external time and space to internal dreamtime
voices and visions. Hidden in this relationship is what
Ernest Holmes calls “Your Invisible Power,” and James P.
Carse calls the “Infinite Game.” Just as you cannot know
the position and speed of an electron at the same time,
so you cannot know the scientific truth about an object
in the realm of actual occasions and its relationship to
metaphysical and theological truth at the same time.
God is hidden in the infinite future and the infinite past
and only God’s shadows enter the realm of visible time
and space.
Whether God created the world or the world created
God, whether God created Man or Man’s brain created
God, are irresolvable questions because they exist in the
realm of complementary transcendence, in the realm of
the irresolvable complementary relationship of the
infinite and the finite, the open and the closed, the
simple and the complex, the necessary and the
contingent. They cannot be resolved because they are
an endless process and the observer and the observed,
the knower and the known, the thinker and the thought
belong to that endless cycle. This is what Holmes
attempts to explain in mystical and theological terms in
“This Thing Called You.” Thomas Merton does the same
in respect to Catholic Theology, in his “Seeds of
Contemplation.”
The Earth Trigram belongs to ordinary arithmetic. Old
daughter yin provides the zero point center from which
the units of time and space are calculated on a rational
basis into the normal curve that is young daughter yin in
the individual separate units that are middle daughter
yin. Ultimately, science will transform these units into
atoms, subatomic particles, quantum events, which can
be measure on the axis of time and space that curve into
the speed of light defined universe of Einstein’s relativity
in the summation of young daughter yin. But the endless
progression of thermodynamic energy, its expansion in
“e” leads to the thermodynamics that is old son yang.
The calculus of its functions and integration in “pi” of the
endless curves of everything (middle son yang) is the
infinite flux that makes the improbable probable in the
imaginary number of the dreamtime monad of
subjectivity that is top son yang, generating the creativity
and subjectivity of the Heaven Trigram as the
complement to the predictable and knowable Earth
Trigram. Heaven Trigram is the realm of dreamtime
creativity, of the Unknown God that becomes what
he/she becomes. This is the realm of the boundless and
the immeasurable, of the theology and the metaphysics
of the transcendental, of the Eternal Christmas of the
Heart. Life is a constant complementary interaction
between the meaningless facts of the left hemisphere
world of the expanding nothingness of science and the
meaningful mystery of the right hemisphere world of the
growing significance of the infinite game integration that
is the source of love and bliss in the discovery of the
circle that endlessly expands to beautify and illumine and
include all things in the Buddhamind that is the Aslan
Narnia Jesus of the Sufi One Allah Brahman whole.

Now let us consider Euler’s “e” to the “i” x pi power plus
1 = 0. If we look at the cube of personality disorders and
I Ching trigrams, the imaginary number, square root of 1, is the young son yang, schizoid personality disorder
and the = sign is its dependent personality disorder
young daughter yin opposite. The number 1 is the
narcissistic personality disorder that is middle daughter
yin, with pi as the avoidant personality disorder middle
son yang opposite, the circle drawn according to pi is
forever avoiding the straight path, while the number one
is forever asserting itself as the only on. The imaginary
number is endlessly withdrawing into its imaginary
complex inner roots, while the equal sign sets out
measurable parameters in the public world of relative
time and space, a world where we are dependent upon
public measurements to find our way. Finally zero
describes the compulsive personality disorder world of
old daughter yin that continues to add measurements
until there is nothing left at all but the measuring stick.
The opposite of the compulsive world of old daughter yin
is the antisocial personality disorder of old son yang that
continues to expand itself in the natural log base “e”
regardless of its effects upon other entities around it. It
is irregular and refuses to conform to all rational rules
and conventions.
The numbers set out the trigrams. The realistic trigram
of Earth and science belongs (the realm defined by
middle daughter yin 1 and oldest daughter yin zero and
youngest daughter yin and the system of equivalent (=)
ratios, the natural numbers) to arithmetic and the
coordinate systems and measurements described by
natural real numbers. This is finite realm inhabited by
realism and the depressive personality disorders. Its
opposite is the realm of calculus and the schizotypal
personality disorders, a realm ruled by curves lines in
middle son yang pi and progressions in old son yang “e”
and the imaginary number plane in young son yang.
Emerging from this realm of magic is the Wind Trigram
that belongs to metaphysics and penetrating necessity in
imaginary numbers and pi rooted in the zero point axis of
the wheel of all things. This is the realm of Higher
Algebra, of Euler’s Formulas, of Mathematical Proofs and
systems, and the Classical basis of Mathematical
Idealism, the Eternal Objects of Alfred North Whitehead.
This kingdom is ruled by the paranoid personality
disorders. The opposite of this kingdom is the realm of
histrionic personality disorders and pragmatism, of
business and economics. This is the realm of probability
and statistics. It is ruled by narcissistic middle daughter
yang number one and dependent youngest daughter
rational number equivalents, as well as oldest son yang
“e” progressions that generate the principles of
probability and statistics and rule the realms of
contingency. If Heaven Trigram is magical and romantic,
and Wind is classical, if Earth is realistic, this the realm of
expressionism (particularly the histrionic variety).
Running counter to this axis, the axis of God in Heaven
Trigram, Eternal Objects and the Form of the Good in
Wind Trigram, actual occasions and measurable objects
in Earth Trigram, and their shadows, expressions,
continent aspects in Thunder Trigram (note the similarity
to Alfred North Whitehead and Plato’s Divided Line).
Flame (or Fire) Trigram takes old son yang and young son
yang to the narcissistic excess of middle daughter yin.
This is the opening in all systems, the realm of art and
design, of the mathematics of topology, this is cubism in
art and the sadistic personality disorder in behavior. It is
competition and natural selection and extinction in the
realm of biology. The opposite of this realm of the open
is the Baroque realm of the mechanical and the closed,
of Water Pit Abysmal Trigram. It is the realm of
absolutistic government and law, of the police. It is the
masochistic personality disorder as the complement to
the sadistic personality disorder. It is rational numbers
and set theory and logical proofs in mathematics. It is
ruled by old daughter yin zero and the young daughter
yin = sign integrated and turned on itself by the middle
son yang circles ruled by pi. Mountain trigram is the
realm of trigonometry and analytic geometry, set out by
the imaginary number plane, by middle daughter yin in 1
and old daughter yin in 0, extended into imaginary
numbers by young son yang. It is the realm of
philosophy and logical debate and empiricism, of
negativism in personality disorders and impressionism
and formalism, of conceptualism and abstraction in art.
It is the realm of the simple.
Its opposite is the Lake Trigram, the realm of group
theory in mathematics, of complexity, set out by the
progression in e of old son yang, in equivalent relations
and series of young daughter yin, and the inclusive circles
defined by pi in middle son yang. This is the realm of
literature, of Marxist and Hegelian dialectic, of religious
dogma and ideology. It is syncretism, post-
impressionism, symbolism in art. It is the Jungian
collective unconscious and the complement to the
empirical mind of Mountain Trigram. In biology it is
syngamy, recombination, and population genetics. In
behavior it is the borderline personality disorders (in
which personality lacks good boundaries and generates
complex fusions and dependencies).

The narcissistic one, the middle daughter yang, becomes
the verbal ego, the fact and language oriented area of
the left hemisphere of the cerebrum and the avoidant pi,
becomes the middle son yang, that bends everything into
circles of meaning and integration, this is the myth
generating right hemisphere of the cerebrum. The
square root of minus one, the imaginary number plane, is
generating out of the future predicting planning areas in
the executive areas of the frontal lobe, the centers for
young son yang. Young daughter yin, the rational
number association scales, belong to the cerebral
association areas of temporal lobe (sound), occipital lobe
(vision) and parietal lobe (space) in posterior area of the
cerebral cortex. Zero point old daughter yin, central
point in the information axis is in the hippocampus of the
cerebral cortex, old daughter yang, and the progression
of attention is in the amygdale, thalamus, hypothalamus
and brain stem areas, underneath the cerebral cortex of
the brain. Thus, the axial nodes of the brain correspond
to the axial nodes of the world. Here is another
complementary relationship between observer and
observed, knower and known that involves process,
where neither element is superior or prior to the other.
Consider some of the typical trinities. For example those
of Buddhism. The trinity of suffering, flux, and no-self, or
the suffering coming from the narcissism of 1 and the
flux coming from the greed of e progressions and the no
self coming out of the = of all attached things, for which
the solution is the Sanga, or community of all (=)
dependence in the Dharma (zero) compulsive adherence
to the Buddha of nirvana-buddhamind compassion in the
inclusive circle of pi. Or the trinity of the dance of Shiva
in antisocial destruction in the progress of “e” as Karma,
and the boundless inclusiveness of that in Vishnu as the
Brahman One in the boundless circle of pi and finally
Brahma as the creativity of the square root of minus one
in the complex number/ imaginary number plane.
Atman is that imaginary number root discovering itself as
part of the Dharma zero axis of the wheel of all flux that
belongs to the ever inclusive pi curve of the Brahman
One. The imaginary number is the logos mind of Christ in
the Christmans manger and Aslan in Narnia as part of the
information potential of the Whole Spirit in Zero and the
inclusive circles of God as inclusive love in pi. The trinity
system of Ernest Holmes in the science of mind is the
trigonometry of 1 as the narcissistic ego body and zero as
the blank information mirror on which it is reflected as a
shadow of the activity of imaginary and complex
numbers in the creative spirit of complex and imaginary
numbers, as described in Quantum Mind (see above). In
a sense, Buddha is the schizoid discovery of the pure
sattva guna of the imaginary number root within the
antisocial karma activity of rajas guna in e progressions
and the tamas of the body in 1 narcississim. Following
the Zero path focal compulsion Dharma of the pure law,
Buddha sees the pure compassion of the ever expanding
Nirvana pi circle of love that extends out endlessly gone
gone gone utterly beyond in to avoidance of all desire
and attachment to the world.

Arnold Mindell develops these ideas in Quantum Mind.
On p.36, he discusses counting, the middle daughter yin
of our system as 1 and the younger daughter yin as a
rational system of numbers. This sets up the Earth
Trigram realm. “Consensus reality” is what Mindell calls
it. It was called “Actual Occasions” in the terminology of
Alfred North Whitehead. The negative number field that
Mindell discusses on page 82, opens us up to the realm
of Mountain Trigram, the mind as the observer, what
Alfred North Whitehead calls “prehensions.” The
complex number field, on page 99 opens up the Wind
Trigram, the realm of Alfred North Whitehead’s “Eternal
Objects.” The imaginary number belongs to the root of
minus one, to what we call youngest son yang. Youngest
son yang rules four sectors, the Heaven Trigram that
belongs to Alfred North Whitehead’s “God” and is the
realm of Arnold Mindell’s dreaming, “the dreamtime” of
African and Australasian aboriginal thought, the Wind
Trigram, equivalent to Plato’s Form of the Good, and the
Mountain and Fire/Flame Trigrams that are the
equivalent of the Pneuma/Psyche/Soma and
Sattva/Rajas/Tamas trinities that rule the mind and will.
On page 101 Mindell shows how a + ib = complex
number shows the object perceived by the mind and
made a part of its Non-Consensus Reality. In Alfred
North Whitehead terms, the Actual Occasion is “a” and
its perhension (perception in Mountain Trigram mind) is
“b” and its subjective (Heaven Trigram imaginary
element) is the first part of “ib.” The “+” element is
activity in the rajas guna, in old son yang mathematical
development (what we call Fire/Flame Trigram) and the
ideal form of this is the entire equation a + ib = which is
pure Eternal Object, pure algebra, pure Wind Trigram
mathematical idealism rooted in the complex field
coordinates rooted in the zero point that is the core, the
central axial point of old daughter yin, the systems and
law giver, the Dharma order, the pure law of mind, the
Psyche core of rational subjective mind (see Science of
Mind, by Ernest Holmes, where the charts in the
appendix show the pure trigonometry of these
relationships). On page 125, Mindell begins to chart the
death of Nature, of the Earth in Earth Trigram, as a result
of her separation from Non Consensus reality in Heaven
Trigram (the imaginary number and complex number
field, the dreamtime self). The uncertainty and
complementary relationships described in the chapter
that begins on page 203 are the Flame Fire Trigram
aspect of our system, where old son yang “e” generates
progression that pull the novel from imaginary numbers
and complex number fields in “dreamtime” Heaven
Trigram to generate the observations, the prehensions,
the trigonometric calculation and analytic geometry of
Mountain Trigram. With calculus and pi comes the
interconnectedness of all things that allows the realms of
set theory and group theory to generate the collective
order of things in Water Pit Abysm Trigram and Lake
Trigram water element, the synchronicity of Jung’s
system. This is the realm ruled by middle son yang and
the Brahman Nirvana Sufi Allah One, the God of
Spinoza’s Ethics.
The God of Spinoza’s Ethics is pi and the monad of the
Monadology is the imaginary number root of minus one.
Cartesian analytic geometry contributes the zero point
coordinates and the result is the Form of the Good, the
mathematical ideal in Euler’s formulas and equations.
Old daughter yin is the wisdom, the Santa Sophia, the
Dharma, the perfect rational order potential in all
systems and all things, the psyche and the nous of
platonic philosophy. Young son yang is the creative
element of the complex number field that generates the
stimulus, the Atman of Atman, Dharma, Brahman, the
Sattva of Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, the Pneuma of Pneuma,
Psyche, Soma. This is Brahma as the Creative Spirit.
Pi is Vishnu as the Brahman one that integrates all of this
in the boundless curves of calculus. Old son yang is the
mathematical progressions that develop all of this out of
the infinite flux that makes the improbable probable to
base “e.”
Allan Ralph Andrews, May 5th 2012, Bakersfield,
California.
On page 20 of Roger Penrose, “The Road to Reality,” you
will see the basic trigonometry of this system where zero
in oldest daughter yin represents the “Platonic
mathematical world,” and the imaginary number square
root of minus one in youngest son yang represents the
“mental world” and 1 in middle daughter yin represents
“the physical world.” Everything in “The Road to Reality”
is simply an expansion of this system into the Tamas
Guna of the physical, the Soma of the physical, that
expands the Wind and Mountain Trigram into the Earth
Trigram through the progressive activity of base “e” and
old son yang in the Heaven, Fire/Flame, and Thunder
Trigram to generate the order and synchronicity of water
element in Water Pit Abysmal and Lake Trigrams. It is
one and the same with the “Perennial Philosophy” of
Aldous Huxley and the Platonism and Stoicism of Cicero,
Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and Plotinus. The One of
Plotinus is the pi of integration and middle son yang. The
mind and reason of Plotinus is the zero axial point and
the coordinate fields and systems of old daughter yang
and the phenomenological observer, the monad soul, is
the imaginary subjective element, the complex number
field rooted in the square root of minus one creativity of
the private monadology and phenomenology that is the
dreamtime self. The Road to Reality is simply the
emergence, the development of the calculus of
progressions in “e” into the Earth Trigram and the
Thunder Trigram of the natural world. Through the
trigonometry in the appendix to Ernest Holmes, Science
of Mind, and the coordinates and trigonometry of
physics in the Road to Reality and the mathematical
extensions of the equations of Euler in “Dr. Euler’s
Fabulous Formula,” we see the Mountain Trigram, Earth
Trigram, Wind Trigram systems that is extended Water
Pit Trigram and Lake Trigram to generate the order
shown in “Cosmos and Psyche” by Tarnas.

Somewhere I have the reference to a website that
discusses the different kinds of immortality, none,
pantheistic, weak pagan, reincarnation (strong pagan),
philosophic (platonic and Pythagorean, East Asian), and
finally Christian (resurrection, etc.). No immortality is the
immortality of narcissism, everything is the number 1 as
the proud body ego, which must finally die and is the
source of Buddhist suffering in its death. The solution for
the Buddhist and the Hindu is pi, is the calculus of the
boundless curves that include everything in the ultimate
compassion of the gone gone gone utterly beyond
nirvana that is (in Christianity and Hinduism and Islam)
the God of endless love and bliss, and is also the
pantheistic God of Spinoza’s Ethics, this is pantheistic
immortality, or its Buddhist Hindu Platonist equivalent.
So mortality in middle daughter yin finite time span is
opposed to boundless space time infinity in middle son
yang pi curve calculus integration of all possibilities.
The alternative is the eternal monads of the Monadology
and the eternal souls of Pythagoras and Plato and
Plotinus in the complex number field centered on the
youngest son yang of the square root of minus one, its
opposite is the weak reincarnation of paganism in which
these souls complex together in various number fields to
control their connection to bodies in space and time in
younger daughter space time relativity yin (it is the
reincarnation of Chinese Daoist folk belief). The final
opposite is the Karma, the cycles of reincarnation and
samsara that are standard theology in Eastern Religion
and philosophy as a old son yang turning of the Dharma
wheel. The opposite is the wheel itself as the perfection
of pi and the curve of love. This reincarnation is the
Classical Idealism of Dante in his Divine Comedy and the
Christian home of the Narnia series, and the descriptions
of Heaven and Hell in the works of C. S. Lewis, and other
Ideal visions of the like. Included here would be the ever
coming Kingdom of the theology of Wolfhart Pannenberg
in which the ultimate Christian Father and Logos appears
to sleep till the final days as a potential, a seed hidden in
the Zero point that is divine rational potential in the
oldest daughter yin, waiting for his/her awakening at the
end of all “e” flux time in oldest son yang.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, Sunday May 6th
2012
Now here is an interesting point. Oldest daughter yin is
the compulsive point, she is the ever faithful Virgin Mary
Queen of Heaven, she is holy wisdom, Santa Sophia, she
is adherence to the true law, the true Dharma, the true
Koran, the true Vedas, the true Holy Scriptures, the true
law of Moses. She is the faith of all faiths, “In my house
are many mansions” that adherence to the law of God
will bring his kingdom, according to Wolfheart
Pannenberg, will bring the existence of his Kingdom,
allow him to exist in the visible world out of the potential
of the Infinite Future. Remember how this works, infinite
flux in old son yang and middle son yang makes the
improbable probable in young son yang. This is the true
Brahma as the creative logos word, the ultimate hope
made flesh.
The idea of a written law for the Jewish community to
keep them pure and holy probably goes back to the
expansion of the Persian and Carthaginian Empires,
described by Arnold J. Toynbee, on page 238 if Volume 5,
part one of his “A Study of History.” It is probably the
Phoenician alphabet and their practice of writing on
scrolls that is the source of the Jewish idea of a holy book
that contains God’s prophecy. The idea of a single God
over a single divine king (David, Christ, etc.) may come
out of the older Egyptian Empires. The notion of a war
between Heaven and Hell, between God and Satan,
seems to come out of Persia. The notion of the ever
coming kingdom embodied in the trinity and the
Christian Church is an attempt to accommodate these
Syrian area civilization to the Hellenic notions of the
Roman Empire. Even so, these symbols, however pale,
are still shadows of the eternal wisdom potentials stored
in the kernel of old daughter yin and drawn out by the
“Infinite Game” (James P. Carse) danced out by “e”
extensions in old son yang. The Jewish, Muslim, and
modern Hindu traditions, even Buddhism, simply provide
different version of this ancient dreamtime storyline.
Allan Ralph Andrews, May 6th Sunday, 2012
Arnold Toynbee in his “Study of History” discusses these
points of view in respect to the great civilizations. He
points out that Western Civilization has always been seen
as focused on the technical and the scientific. It contrast,
its Hellenic roots were focused on the aesthetic, and the
Hindu traditions, further East, were basically religious.
We have discussed elsewhere how this can be
symbolized as a great tetrahedron of symbolic elements
with China as the Lake that dissolves all things in its
blood red water generating a dialectic of young daughter
yin Confucianism, old son yang Daoism, and middle son
yang Buddhism. In contrast India is more Wind Trigram
and air element in a trinity of young son yang Atman, old
daughter yin Dharma, and middle son yang Brahman
One. This is a civilization of caste, of the dominant elite
and elitist caste riddled aristocratic classical idealism.
This is an air element filled with the golden light of the
Sun as the symbol of aristocratic power. The Flame
Trigram and Fire element belong to what survives of the
Greek militarism of Alexander in the Moslem Middle
East, a Flame Trigram and Fire element filled with war for
the Green Islands it forms in the desert. It belongs to the
raiding external proletariat, but its color is Green for the
green oasis that is the goal of its plunder. The utilitarian
trigram is the Earth Trigram and the Earth element,
democratic and practical, it has made the entire blue
planet its empire and therefore its color is sky and ocean
blue. All metaphysics and religion, and philosophy as
well, is a war between these four elemental tempers and
the separate ideological kingdoms they have generated.
The positions they represent, complex water against
simple salt, necessary air against contingent thunder,
infinite sky against finite earth, opening burned by flame
against resisting predetermined water courses, they
were long ago shown as complementary by the Critique
of Pure Reason of Immanuel Kant. The attempt to
resolve their differences in favor of one or the other is as
empty as the attempt to resolve the position and speed
of an electron, the particle and the wave.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA May 7th 2012
The relationship of the doctrines associated with these
symbolic elements is interesting. According to Toynbee,
they are associated with the universal churches
generated in the break down process of universal states.
Among the belief systems developed in South Asia is the
story of the Buddha. Buddha is associated with the upper
class philosophy of the ruling kings. It involves a legend
of a rich prince (Buddha) who gave up his wealth out of
compassion for the suffering of all sentient beings. This
legend spread to the external states that surrounded the
South Asian Empire of Asoka, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma,
etc.
In contrast to this air element philosophy is the universal
church of the Earth element, of Western Christianity.
This involves a potential David dynasty King that is
supposed to rule a new empire that will include all
people. This David, Christ, is associated with the poor
who see themselves obtaining riches (at least spiritual
ones) with the coming of his kingdom.
Both the fire and water element religions have a kingship
element, the Fire element faith of Islam is based on the
prophecy and holy book (Koran) of an external
proletariat, who obtain royal and imperial positions as a
result of the jihad, the holy war that spreads their faith.
The Far Eastern model is the water element mirror image
of this Middle Eastern model. It involves members of the
internal proletariat, and local external proletariat, that
mange to rise to the highest office, Emperor of China,
due to the working out of the will of “Heaven.” The
models for this process are found in the holy books of
the Far East: Confucian Classics, etc..
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, Monday May 7th

Note the four part matching of these myths supports the
notion of a dreamtime, a Jungian collective unconscious
symmetry, or a higher order of mythology in which all
myths merge in the “Infinite Game” of James P. Carse.
It is a typical product of pi, of the curves of integration
generated in the right hemisphere of the human
cerebrum. These four order could be the four rivers
flowing from the Garden of Eden, the magical place
where the naked aboriginal nature of all humans merges
in a common Adam and Eve and a common
“Dreamtime.”
It was the philosophy of Ernest Holmes and his Institute
of Religious Science and Philosophy that started me on
this journey when I was 13. Our idealistic classical model
fits his declaration of principles (see “What Religious
Science Teaches,” Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind
Publications, 1974, p. 27). His One that manifests itself
though out creation “generating a manifest universe that
is the body of God” is none other that our
complementary relationship between avoidant pi (the
integration of the boundless everything in ever
generating cycles of integration) and the narcissistic 1,
the Soma, the quantum world of particles and atoms and
natural phenomena. His incarnate Spirit (Atman) is the
schizoid imaginary number root of minus one monad of
internal subjectivity and its incarnation in all is the
dependent distribution of this incarnation (=) throughout
the world of space and time in youngest daughter yin.
The eternality of the soul is the enduring compulsive zero
point of oldest daughter yin and its continual emergence
in the antisocial energy of “e,” as oldest son yang, is the
“forever and ever expanding” principle in the declaration
Holmes has presented on p. 21. When Holmes speaks of
a Universal Spirit which is God “operating through a
Universal Mind, which is the Law of God, which receives
the direct impress of our thoughts and acts upon it,” he is
referring to Heaven Trigram (Creativity) inducing the
emergence of Wind Trigram (Idealism) that allows Flame
Trigram (Freedom) in Mountain Trigram (Mind) to be
reflected in Water Pit Abysm Trigram (Order) and Lake
Trigram (Synthesis) to generate the natural world (Earth
Trigram) and its progressive evolution (Thunder Trigram).
Two actions happen here, both discussed by Holmes in
his writings. The creativity of the subjective source of all
things working through the integrative principles of all
things emerging from the action of these principles
inducing the emergence of potential order at all levels
allows freedom in individual expressions of this order to
develop its own reflections in that order that complex
within these emerging systems to generate the emerging
world around us. Whitehead calls this creativity God and
its ideal order “Eternal Objects,” the mental events
“Prehensions” and the emerging results “Actual
Occasions.” It is all the same thing with different labels
depending on the labeling system you chose to use.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, May 7th 2012.
Now many people will think this is all junk. But I believe I
an give some good rebuttals. To the Christians, I would
recommend some decent scholarship on the bible. Start
with the old Cambridge Ancient History series published
in 1925, for example, Volume III on the Assyrian Empire.
Or for something more recent try Marvin Harris and his
“Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches,” in which he give
evidence that Jesus was a “military messiah.” The works
of Barbara Thiering are controversial, even among
scholars, I personally believe she has gotten closer to the
true facts than anyone else, even though she may be off
in some of the details, read her “The Book that Jesus
Wrote,” or “Jesus the Man,” or “Jesus of the
Apocalypse,” all available from Corgi Books. If only one
tenth of her ideas are true, the whole “born again”
version of Jesus goes in the trash where it belongs. That
said, I have to say I am a “born again” Christian but of the
Spirit, and not of the letter, for as St Paul puts it, “the
letter kills.” For those that are skeptics to all of this I
have the following answers: read Richard Tarnas,
“Cosmos and Psyche,” Michael Talbot, “The Holographic
Universe,” and Diane Hennancy Powell, “The ESP
Enigma,” and to those who say these results have not
been verified, I recommend the Journal of Scientific
Exploration Volume 21, Number 3, and the report on
“Effect of Belief on Psi Performance in a Card Guessing
Task,” by Kevin Walsh and Garret Moddel of the College
of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of
Colorado and Boulder, where they show, as Ernest
Holmes predicted long ago, that performance results are
dependent on the belief systems of those participating in
the test. The reality we experience is a mirror of the
subjective state of the soul monads attaching to the
brain state instruments that allow them to a view a world
that is a shadow of the expectation systems to which
they have attached.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, May 8th 2012.
Imagine a great wheel turning on the compulsive zero
point of mathematical structure. Moving up to pi and
the curves of avoidant integration is the realm of
algebraic formula that divides the frontier between Wind
trigram algebra and Water Pit Abysm set theory and
proof. Moving down to the narcissistic one that provides
the numerical atoms of the coordinate system are the
coordinates themselves that divide Mountain Trigram
trigonometry and analytic geometry from Earth Trigram
arithmetic. The wheel turns on the energy of “e” and
mathematical operations and extensions in antisocial
greediness and passion, the dance of Shiva. This energy
source connects with narcissistic one in all kinds of
functions and mathematical operations that divide Flame
Trigram topology from Thunder Trigram statistics. The
known numbers on the coordinates, emerge in
operations and solutions of formulas, from the realm of
variables and unknowns in the boundary land of
possibility that lies between the Heaven Trigram of
calculus and the Lake Trigram of group theory.
Ought of schizoid young son yang in imaginary numbers
comes the irrational number spoke that connects with
the old son progression of “e,” the root spoke that
connects with compulsive old daughter zero, the
negative number spoke that connects with narcissistic
middle daughter yin, and the complex number spoke that
connects with avoidant pi in middle son yang.
Out of dependent young daughter yang in = signs comes
the rational numbers connecting to old daughter yin
compulsive zero, the positive numbers that connect to
avoidant middle son pi, the exponents that connect to
old son yang in “e,” and the real numbers that connect of
narcissistic middle daughter yang 1.
The irrationals are the causation opposites of their
rational number effects. The roots are the soul opposite
of their exponential evolutionary developments. The
negatives are the individual consciousness complements
of the positives that rule space time collective
associations and the complex numbers and the hidden
subjective ideal complements to the real and natural
numbers of the visible world. Operations and functions
are the process opposites of the formula and algebraic
expression purposes and ends. Unknowns and variables
are the possibility opposites of actualities on the
coordinates of analytic geometry.
The curves of pi avoidance are the wet clouds of the
mathematical weather and the number atoms that
surround 1 are the dry and broken parts. Imaginary
numbers are light and dissociated, but rational numbers
and real and positive numbers are heavy with visible
associations. Mathematical heat and activity arise from
the progressions emerging out of “e,” driven by passion.
These drive statistics and operations and functions
emerging from the unkown. But zero is the focal point
that holds all the coordinates together and the formula
systems, roots, and rational numbers with which they are
associated. At the zero point all mathematical motion
comes to rest.
All of these are metaphors for the weather of the soul
and the metaphysical structure of the Eternal Objects
and Forms of the Good that provide the unseen order of
all things, as described by Plato in the allegory of the
Cave and of the divided Line. Heaven Trigram is the Sun
of the Good and Wind Trigram is the ideal mathematics it
shines on generating the objects of Earth Trigram and
their shadows in Thunder. This would be God in Alfred
North Whitehead and the Eternal Objects, Actual
Occasions and the Events that generate their emergence.
The lights in the cave are the open places in this system
that provide the observers a chance to find their way out
of their personal trigonometry of thought and placement
on their personal mental analytic geometry, these are
the walkways and chains, the systems inside the cave
itself, structured by this abysmal water pit system and
the complex relationships that support it. This is the
transition between freedom in Flame Trigram and the
“prehensions” that trap us in our own Mountain Trigram
enslaved in Water Pit Abysm and the complexities of
Lake.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, May 9th 2012
The Four Element symbolism and Chinese Trigram
symbolism we have been using is probably derived from
weather cycles. A sample of this might look like this,
suppose schizoid young son yang was the light and
dependent young daughter yin was the tides, suppose
avoidant middle son yang was the mist in the sky and
narcissistic middle daughter yin was explosive flaming
embers reducing everything to ashes, suppose old
compulsive daughter yin was these weather cycles
themselves, particularly those that freeze things and
bring winter and antisocial old daughter yang was
tornados and lighting storms. The Lake Trigram formed
from this yin and yang would be water and its Mountain
Trigram opposite would be salt, the Fire trigram would
be its flames and the Water Pit Abysm would be its water
drainage. Heaven Trigram would be the sky and Earth
Trigram would be earth, Wind Trigram would be air and
Thunder Trigram would be noise and dust. These
Trigrams would be linked by four great circles. Between
mist and light would be the stars as the opposite of soil
between ashes and tides. Between tides and mist would
be rain as the opposite of smoke between ashes and
light. Between lighting and light would be the sun as the
opposite of the moon between weather cycles and tides.
Between light and weather cycles would be the noble
gases as the opposite of waves between tides and
tornadoes. Between tornadoes and mist would be
clouds as the opposite of life forms between weather
cycles and ashes. Between mist and weather cycles
would be snow crystals as the opposite of fire between
ashes and tornadoes.
Tornadoes would symbolize energy and weather cycles
would symbolize information systems. Light would
symbolize phenomenological concentration and tides
would symbolize space time relativity distribution. Mist
would symbolize the boundless integration of everything
and ashes would symbolize quantum mechanical
atomization. The sky would be the source and the earth
the product, air the ideal and noise its expression. Fire
would be freedom and drainage would be order, salt
would be mind and water would be synchronicity.
Clouds would be the possible and life would be actual
form. Snow crystals would be the perfect and fire the
process that generates it. The sun would be the cause
and the moon would be the effect. Noble gas would be
the immortal and waves would be mortal developments.
The stars would be the transcendent and soil would be
the manifest. Smoke would be the individual
consciousness and rain would be the collective
unconscious.
The actual system would begin with what we see. The
results of this system would be the world of nature
known to science. This realm could easily expand into
the Water Pit realm of rational rules and mechanical
systems, the Thunder realm of evolutionary emergence
and the Mountain realm of empirical analysis. Only with
a reach can we get to the Lake realm of complexity,
synchronicity, birth and rebirth, astrology, and the
paranormal, or the Flame realm of existential free will, or
the Wind realm of metaphysical idealism and
mathematical perfection. This hidden order would
emerge from subjective dreamtime in Heaven trigram
infinite flux that make the improbable probable, a
mythology that is Hindu in Heaven Trigram, Buddhist,
Daoist, and Confucian in Lake Trigram, Muslim and
Jewish in Water Pit Abysm, and Christian and Platonist in
Wind.
Looked at from Heaven, the freedom in Flame Trigram
would be a series of hells that monad young son yang
would attach itself to in pursuit of novelty and freedom,
Lake Trigram would be an astrology of birth and rebirth,
a purgatory in which the Dharma of the Water Pit Abysm
order responds to the choices made by monad souls in
Flame. The only hope of Paradise would lie in the ideal
mathematics and Platonism of Wind Trigram. In the
relationship between Heaven Trigram and Wind Trigram,
between Alfred North Whitehead’s God and the Eternal
Objects (Plato’s Sun of the Good), we find that
transcendental area that Ernest Holmes focuses on it
works like his “Your Invisible Presence.” This is the hope,
the focus of inspiration that lifts above the misery of our
everyday world.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, May 10th 2012
The God that Ernest Holmes believed in was found more
quickly within than without. The relationship between
the Father and the Son described in John 5:19 was an
allegory for the relationship of individual centers of
spiritual creativity and the infinite, between the atman
and the Brahman, the Buddha and the Nirvana
Buddhamind One, between the Christ principle present
in every being from within infinitesimal monad of the
spirit and the one boundless infinite expanding spiritual
awakening from which the individual comes. Holmes
believed that the scripture saying that as the Father has
life so the son has life, meant there is only one life, mind,
spirit that is individualized as it is accepted, believed in,
utilized in our daily life (see Holmes, Science of Mind, p.
475). Holmes believed, as James P. Carse expresses in
“Finite and Infinite Games,” that the language of myth is
different from the language of practical fact. The left
hemisphere language of practical fact is about what has
been done and is visible, the language of right brain myth
is about what might happen, what is possible. In an
infinite universe, there is no limit to the possible beyond
mathematics and logic themselves, the fundamental laws
of all things. Holmes believed that existence was a dance
between the creative becoming of this possibility and the
boundaries and limits generated by its reflection in the
mirror of mathematical systems and logic that responds
to it to generate the world of our experience. There is
nothing in our daily experience that contradicts this
vision. Science does not support this vision, because the
vision belongs to the seers, the mystics, the poets, the
mythic makers, not to the finite games of the physical
world. It is this vision, the God of the Dreamtime, the
God of the Ultimate Future (the ever coming future), that
Wolfhart Pannenberg focuses on in his version of the
theology of Luther.
Holmes was not found of Astrology. I am. I am left
defending my belief in Astrology in a world of scientific
skeptics and romantic visionaries, neither of which are
much interested in, or given to belief in Astrological
ideas. Why should Astrology work to explain the
complex patterns that Richard Tarnas uses it to explain?
For me the explanation is simple. A universe that is
infinite and time and space that generates and infinite of
systems of universes in time and space and an infinity of
ways of doing time and space is capable of anything
mathematically and logically possible. Given this endless
expansion, will do it over and over again in endless
variations. It will evolve complexity upon complexity. It
will evolve systems of minds and superminds more
complex than any human kingdom, ant hill, corral reef, or
government designed by any civilization. Holmes
believed in the power of the infinite to become personal,
to take an individual face, in fact, he believe that this was
the Christ principle, this is what Jesus as son of God
symbolized. These various superminds may be thought
of as individualized centers in the reaction of infinite
system to infinite creativity. Sometimes, some places
these centers have certainly been in conflict. Astrology,
appears to be in part, a system of harmony, like the
music of a symphony that keeps the instruments from
fighting with each other and creating noise rather than
music. This is what the synchronicity that generates
Astrology seems to be. A music of the spheres, if you
will, that generates harmony, not only in the external
movements of the planets, but in all the interior effects
of these movements, all the gravity that turns into
allurement and energy that turns into passion, as
described by Brian Swimme in “The Universe is a Green
Dragon.”

The primary yin to yang opposition is oldest daughter
compulsive yin to oldest son antisocial yang, eternal
immutable information and mathematical pattern
potential with zero energy danced out by the dance of
Shiva as the endless flux of energy potential in and out of
all possible forms. All event patterns are eternal
possibilities in the Santa Sophia that is the zero point of
the field of possible mathematical form. Youngest son
yang as the imaginary number root of minus one and
middle son yang as the boundless circling and spiraling of
all things in pi based integration are the source of this
eternal perfect possibility symbolized by the Pieta of
Michelangelo, where the Virgin symbolizes Isis, Santa
Sophia, holy wisdom, the zero point, the perfect purity of
systems potential. Implied is the dome of Heaven above
symbolizing Father Osiris and the endless circle of the
Sun that integrates all things in various degrees of
astrological harmony, finally Christ symbolizes the
Buddha point, the infinitesimal avatar point where the
circle turns inward to generate joy and love from its
integration, changing energy into passion and
information into enlightenment, this is Horus generating
the soul, Psyche, Pneuma compliment to the Nous of
mathematical possibility in holy wisdom and the One
that is the boundless in transcendent God, Nirvana, etc.
This is the realm of the Wind trigram and classical
perfection, it is the eternal hope of Heaven as the
manifestation of the Virgin Purity of Zero energy made
manifest out of Wolfhart Pannenberg’s God of the
Infinite Future as it plays as creative possibility on the
immutable systems potential in old daughter yin.
Opposed to this immortal heaven, symbolized in the
Narnia stories of C. S. Lewis, and the Brindiban stories of
Krishna, is the Thunder trigram realm of evens and
processes and mortality. Here eternal energy in oldest
son yang dances out the probable world of emergence
and change in the quantum mechanical ones of middle
daughter yin and the = sign associations of youngest
daughter yin.
Oldest son (antisocial) yang provides the primary
mortality, the moments of time that disappear instantly
in its constant flux, middle daughter (narcissistic) yin
reflects this mortality in the suffering and death
associated with the mortality of the narcissistic one, the
physical body that is the focus of our disintegrating life
and its attendant pain and relativistic space time
associations in youngest daughter (dependent) yin
provide the no-self complexes that appear to endure but
are nothing but chains of causal effects in the samsara,
the cycles of astrology and of birth and death.
Opposed to this is the eternal mathematical potential
that is the source of all form moving out of the
weightless zero that is eldest daughter yin, into the
boundless integration of all things in middle son yang
that integrates all circles and spirals in infinitely extenden
pi, and finally the personal immortality of the monad
monadology soul, the jiva Jainist soul that is the being
and becoming from within primary isolate atom of all
beginnings, the imaginary number root of all creativity.
This is the Buddha Christ soul that endures in its own
perfect poverty, having discarded everything but its
essence, perfect spiritual creation. It is this immortality
that Ernest Holmes sought to the exclusion of all other.
Interestingly enough, it appears to be the same
immortality sought in Zen and by the Buddha and by the
Catholic contemplations of Thomas Merton (See his
Seeds of Contemplation).
In the cube octahedron of the world, the aboriginal areas
are this old son yang dancing its dance of creation in the
primitive tropical sunlight opposed to the oldest
daughter yin centered in the biblical law of the Jews, and
Christians, and Moslems, centered on Mecca and the
Dome of the Rock, and the Jewish, Moslem and Christian
Holy sites in Palestine. Torah, Talmud, Bible, Koran, all
symbolize this Zero fault old daughter yin source of all
things, she is the holy stone at the center of the city of
Mecca. She is the tomb of Christ and the Manger of
Bethlehem as well, the city of Athens and the
mathematical teachings of Pythagoras, etc.. If the
ancient sites of the Byzantine Empire are old compulsive
daughter yin and the Amazon and Papua and the Congo
are old antisocial son yang, than middle narcissitic
daughter yin must be Paris and London and middle
avoidant son yang must be Tibet and Bhutan, youngest
schizoid son yang must be the Ganges in India and
youngest dependent daughter yin must be the Yellow
River Valley in China.
From this, we can spin out the eight cultural and religious
trigrams of the I Ching, Yi Ching, of the world. The
Chinese, European, and Aboriginal supporting the
changing events of the emerging world of shadows and
the Byzantine, Tibetan, and Hindu looking to the classical
perfection of the promised kingdom yet to come,
symbolized by Whitehead’s notion of Eternal Objects,
Plato’s notion of the Form of the Good, and Euler’s
formulation of the relationship of antisocial energy in
base e and the schizoid imaginary number root of minus
one and endlessly avoidant pi, in such a way that the
addition of the narcissistic number one can generate a
dependent equality to the compulsive perfect
weightlessness of Holy Wisdom in the zero point of the
coordinate system of all things.
Allan Ralph Andrews, May 25th 2012
Here is alternative way to look at this: Imagine the great
cube octahedron of the eight trigrams described above,
now assign the edge of the Flame trigram with Heaven
trigram to novel causes (irrational numbers) and the
edge of the Flame with Mountain to the individual
(negative numbers), the edge with Thunder to actions
and processes (operations and functions). Move to
Mountain and let the edge with Earth be form (known
numbers and coordinate fields), the edge with Wind be a
the conserved eternal immortal (the field of roots from
positive to negative). Let the edge of Earth to Thunder
be the measurable manifest (real numbers) and to Water
Pit Abysmal be the equivalent effects (rational numbers).
Move to Thunder and its edge to Lake be developments
(powers, exponents, logs). Move to Water Pit Abysm and
its edge to Lake be collectives (sums and series in
positive numbers) and its edge to Wind be purpose and
perfection (numbers in algebraic expressions and
formulas). Move to Wind and its edge to Heaven be the
transcendent (transcendental numbers, imaginary
numbers, numbers that extend the numbers systems
beyond normal measurements). Move to Heaven and its
edge to Lake be the unknown and the possible and the
hidden ground of known things (complex numbers,
unknown numbers, numbers that extend calculus,
algebra, and other numbers systems beyond ordinary
and known coordinate structure). The vertex where
Wind and Flame and Mountain and Heaven is the
imaginary number root of minus one and the vertex
where Flame and Mountain and Heaven and Lake come
together is natural logs in base e. The vertex where
Heaven and Lake and Water Pit and Wind come together
is the calculus of all things in endlessly expanding spirals
and spheres and circles based on pi. The vertex where
Mountain and Flame and Thunder and Earth come
together is a positive one as the first real positive
number. The vertex where Earth and Water Pit and Lake
and Thunder come together is = as the symbol of the
basic rational order that associates all rational things.
And the vertex where Earth and Water Pit and Mountain
and Wind come together is zero as the weightless center
of all coordination and rational order. The formula for
the order of this system is that of Euler that gives the
pure form of the ideal (good) in Wind trigram leading to
the trigonometry that orders Mountain trigram and the
analytic geometry that support ordinary arithmetic and
debit and credit accounting in Earth trigram. This is
extended into statistics and probability in Thunder and
supports groups and subgroups and matrix algebra in
Lake and calculus in Heaven, extending into topology in
Flame and supporting the basic rational order of logic
and set theory in Water Pit Abysm, from which emerge
all forms of mathematical proof and solution.
In this system, the imaginary number is the Prophet, the
Christ, the Buddha hidden in the pure sattva jiva, the
pure infinitesimal monad mind as the primal creative
Logos and zero is the Virgin, Holy Wisdom, the Holy
Ghost and the pure Dharma, the philosophers stone, the
rock of the pure law. Pi is the symbol of the compassion
that generates the Father Mother God, Brahman, Allah,
Nirvana, Hen One integration and one is a particle, an
atom, a measurable aspect of the quantum world. The =
sign introduces all rational coordinate systems including
the relativistic space and time of Einstein. All expansions
of this system in e represent the infinite flux that is the
dance of Shiva.
So now you have two different kinds of immortality, the
creative novel transcendent individual immortality in the
imaginary number root of minus one soul, the pure
schizoid element, and the perfect formal equivalent
immortality of compulsive zero, the immortal law of
mind and reason. You have two different kinds of
mortality, the developmental collective manifest rational
mortality of dependent association in = and the irrational
novel active possibility that is the mortality of all forms of
energy flux in the expansion of natural logs in e. You
have two different ways of avoiding the conflict between
the mortal and the immortal, the unification of all
collective possibility in the transcendent perfection
centered in the boundless integration of curving spirals in
pi and its opposite in individual actions and forms in the
manifest world of the positive and measurable real
number one.
In the terminology of Alfred North Whitehead, zero is the
key to the realm of eternal objects and one is the key to
actual occasions. Pi is the key to God and e to the
emergence of events and = to the nexi of events, and
imaginary numbers in the root of minus one to the realm
of prehensions. In the terminology system of Ernest
Homes, imaginary number root of minus one is the
creative Spirit, zero is the Law of God, and the positive
one is the Soma, the physical object that is its expression.
Pi is the unity of the realm of the spirit in God the Father
Mother, and e is the activity of this system that moves
the zero point law to do its work (the principle of
freedom). The system based on = is the realm of effects
that emerges from the working of this system.
Another way to view this is an infinite monadology of
infinitesimal creative Buddha monads slowly integrating
in a Buddhamind nirvana God system, Wolfheart
Pannenberg’s God of the Infinite Future. This
phenomenological monadology operates through the
zero point mathology that is the weightless systems
potential in all things. The interaction between this form
potential in endless yin and the eternal energy flux of
expression in emergent yang generates the real of
quantum mechanical events that collective integrate to
generate the realm of space time relativity. The physical
aspect of this integration is the realm of astronomy and
its hidden phenomenological complex aspect is the
hidden realm of astrology described by Richard Tarnas in
“Cosmos and Psyche.”
Astrology is the order, the dharma, the god systems
impose on the emergent world to prevent chaos during
the endless process of the organization of Buddhamind
god through endless cycles of the emergence and
evolution of astral bodies and race minds that the monad
souls attach to in the generation of systems of birth and
rebirth through these emerging world and world system
complexes.
Spirit, in creative infinitesimal jiva monads, works
through mind systems, in natural order and
mathematics, to express itself in atoms and particles,
that assemble the objects of the natural world. These
objects are associated in systems of astronomic time and
space, that are the source of the astrological thesis of a
dialectic that has emergent flux as its antithesis and the
Buddhamind Nirvana whole God of compassion as its
endlessly evolving synthesis. This synthesis is the
fulfillment of the systems described above.
Here we see two parallel trinities. First the Pneuma,
Psyche, Soma trinity, Spirit, Law, and Body. This is the
descending trinity, it manifests in the world, it generates
astronomy, its is the trinity of “The Laws of Evolution” in
the contribution Berhhard Rensch makes to the
University of Chicago’s Darwinian Centennial. The
second trinity is the Hegelian Dialectic, it is the shadow of
the first in the Thesis (given world), Antithesis (further
revolutions in energy flux), Synthesis (further integration
in the endlessly coming kingdom of Allah Elohim Theos
Nirvana Buddhamind Compassion Brahman One).
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield CA May 28th 2012
Now lets review all of this all over again. The model I
want to use for the Heaven Trigram, the middle son yang
whole, and the right integrating symbolic function of the
cerebral hemisphere balance is James P. Carse, “Finite
and Infinite Games.” The Heaven Trigram of the I Ching
appears to be this Infinite Game and the Earth Trigram its
Finite Game opposite. The Left Hemisphere of the
Cerebrum appears to be stuck in the fact oriented Finite
Game mode and its Right Hemisphere antithesis in the
Infinite Game opposite.
The reason why this polarity works in that it reflects the
basic complementary nature of existence. The left brain
puts the focus on the particle and the position, the here
and now fact, and the right brain on the process and the
wave of position potentials from which it emerged. Both
are equally true and totally different. One will not work
without the other. Without Jesus there is no Adam.
The great teachers, Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Socrates,
Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu, St. Paul, Jeremiah,
Pythagoras, were well aware of this duality and utilized it
their instruction. As Carse explains, all great myths have
an infinite number of interpretations, just as electrons
are clouds of infinite numbers of potential positions. This
is why we are not trying to find the one correct
interpretation of the Greek Myths, the Personality
Disorders, Astrological Signs, Alchemical Element
Mythology, or I Ching trigrams and hexagrams. The
question is what interpretation might be useful for the
purpose at hand. It is like taking a position on a
mountain range, one point of view for a photograph,
another for a painting, a third for bird watching, and so
forth.
Consider the problem of life after death. Looked at from
one point of view, there is nothing so loving as
evolutionary naturalism. Natural death does not prolong
pain. Its purpose is to dispatch the organism as rapidly as
possible so its carbon atoms and energy can be passed
down the food chain. Torture is an invention of human
morality and punishment, not of nature’s version of
ethics. Natural selection is just. It does not favor any
particular species or group. It simply eliminates the unfit
and selects the fit. It does not favor humans over dogs or
bacteria over pine trees. It is utterly impartial, far more
impartial than any human judge or jury. It is beyond
reward or punishment or any moral or political system.
It is utterly loving in the sense that the Sun pours out its
energy everyday day after day without end, asking
nothing in return, keeping the Earth at the perfect
gravitational distance, acting out the essence of loving
motherhood. Nature invented motherhood. For billions
of years mothers have protected their offspring. All
surviving offspring receive the benefits of millions of
generations of mother’s maternal care. Nothing can be
so nurturing as this long history of loving energy from the
Mother Sun and the food from the Mother Earth and
care from the Motherhood instinct in all living things.
Death releases us from the corruption of human thought
and human interpretation back to the uncorrupted
simplicity of pure Carbon, pure Nitrogen, pure DNA.
Each year takes us further from the simple joy of
childhood. Nothing can return that simple joy except
release of its spirit from the corruption of the complex
analysis that is the essence of the aging brain. In that
sense, each year makes me less my simple primitive
childish self. The solution is the death that allows my
elements, my energy, my genetic information to be
purified by a return to the natural elements and cycles
from which they came.
I am the energy of the sun and the water of the ocean
and of the air. I am the mathematical information and
systems information in all mechanical things. But that
information and energy and chemistry is trapped in this
aging body which gradually changes into a prison of
complexity as decaying information is piled upon
decaying information. I am a closet that needs to be
cleaned. Why resist that clean air and water that
absorbs me back into the womb from which I came?
The problem becomes the rich myth of religion that
wants to tell me that I have become something else and
that I now belong to that new kingdom. The solution is
simple. Let each part be released to its proper place, the
dust to the dust, the water to the water, and the dreams
and myths to the dreamtime of which they were
generated. The body fears that it will be stolen away
from the Earth to which it belongs and the spirit fears
that it will be trapped in the decaying Flesh to which it
does not belong. The solution is to release all these parts
and let them find their proper place.
But what is that proper place? Let us review our
mythology. Our latest version of the Infinite Game of
endless variations on mythical themes has three lines of
yang in an I Ching Heaven Trigram, the oldest son yang
from the Thunder Trigram, the middle son yang from the
Water Pit Abysm Trigram and the youngest son yang
from the Mountain Trigram. Oldest son is Shiva the
destroyer and the Antisocial personality disorder. Middle
son is Vishnu the preserver and the Avoidant personality
disorder. Youngest son is Brahma the creator and the
Schizoid personality disorder. There opposites are the
oldest daughter yin of the Wind Trigram that is the
Compulsive personality disorder, the middle daughter yin
of the Flame Trigram that is the Narcissistic personality
disorder and the youngest daughter yin of the Lake
Trigram that is the Dependent personality disorder.
From these complementary opposites, we can build the
trigrams of character disorder. Thunder Trigram is ruled
by Histrionic Zeus (Jupiter) and Wind by his Paranoid
opposite in Hera (Juno). Flame Trigram is ruled by
Sadistic Athena (Minerva) and Water Pit Abysm by his
masochistic opposite in Hephaestus (Vulcan). Heaven
Trigram is ruled by Schizotypal Poseidon (Nepturne and
Earth Trigram by his Depressed opposite in Demeter
(Ceres). Mountain Trigram is ruled by Negativistic Apollo
and Lake Trigram by his Borderline opposite in Artemis
(Diana). Dependent Hestia (Vesta) has her Borderline
equivalent in Hermes (Mercury). Narcissistic Aphrodite
(Venus) has her Sadistic equivalent in Ares (Mars).
Compulsive Gaia has her Paranoid equivalent in Uranus.
Antisocial Dionysus (Bacchus) has his Histrionic
equivalent in Semele. Avoidant Hades (Pluto) has his
Masochistic opposite in Persephone. Schizoid Cronos
(Saturn) has his Negativistic opposite in Rhea.
Now this whole thing has its problems, but that is the
way with the mythological medium, it is dreamtime, and
changes forms like the stuff of dreams. But, like it, or
not, our factual world is spun out of a similar
insubstantial substance, neurochemistry, quantum
mechanics, phenomenological monadology that makes
passion out of energy and pleasure from integration,
pain from disintegration, mind out of information and
awareness out of localization within the larger endless
sleep.

I was considering another was to think about this. First
consideration is that mathematics is pure form and pure
systems, in the sense that there is no requirement for
matter or energy. Once we add matter and energy to
mathematics, we generate natural structures. Systems
theory, information theory, involves draining the energy
and matter away from information till you reveal the
pure mathematics and logic that requires no energy or
matter to be what it is. Energy in the antisocial aspect
and mathematics is the compulsive tendency that
structures it. The resulting polarity is the old son yang of
logs to the base e and the old daughter yin of the zero
point from which they are extended. Emerging from this
polarity is the infinite avoidant curve of pi, or middle son
yang, and its opposite in the positive one, the narcissistic
particular that is middle daughter yin. Finally, you have
the singular, the improbable schizoid youngest son yang
in the root of minus one imaginary number and the
probable dependent equal sign norm that is youngest
daughter yin.
In such a situation, Flame Trigram is this improbable
youngest son yang emerging from flux in oldest son yang
and becoming an emergent particular in narcissistic
embodied particular that is middle daughter yin. This is
the cubist, the topology, the existential option that rips a
hole in all cosmology, the creative generation of the
improbable fact. It is natural selection as the source of
all evolutionary emergence, it is the raiding tribe of
Germanic Vikings, of Arabic Moslems, that brings down
the holy empire.
The sources of these tribes, the mythical Eden from
which they emerge is the Heaven of the Three Creative
Hindu Gods, the Mount Meru of Shiva in old son yang
flux, and Vishnu in middle son yang infinitely curving
boundless integration, and Brahma in the shamanistic
creative schizoid particular that is the atman jiva Buddha
moment of the creative now infinitesimal imaginary
number square root of minus one. This is the aboriginal
Heaven Trigram that is the infinite flux that generates all
improbability. It is the realm of random mutation
through the billions of years of possible time and space
and cosmic generation.
These mutation possibilities accumulate in Lake Trigram
recombination till the swamp they generate becomes
bloated enough to generate the probable in youngest
daughter yin. Middle daughter yin pi forever make egg
like structures as it curves about them and oldest son
yang flux actives the complexity of their recombination
forms. Lake is the cosmic generation that emerges in the
world of entropy and evolution that is Thunder Trigram,
the emergence of quantum mechanical particulars in
narcissistic middle daughter yin and relativistic space
time youngest daughter yin as a function of probability
and random flux in oldest son yang thermodynamics.
As these thermodynamic processes stimulate the zero
point possibility of formal structure, the generate set
points and codes in Wind Trigram classical set points.
These become connected with Water Pit Abysm Trigram
system and organization and homeostatic systems and
feedback mechanism. These manifestations of universal
states and systems of hierarchy and organization,
produce finite results in the observable world, the
generate the phenotypes produced from genotypic
adaption and pressure on adaptive systems toward
adaptive peaks in Wind Trigram ideals.
In social systems, these ideals are the nobles, the
dominant minorities that attempt to control the
universal states in Water Pit Abysm.
Always, there are republics, city states, species
formation, mental states, analysis, the input of
information from the real world of natural objects in
Earth Trigram. Mountain Trigram performs its analytic
geometry and trigonometry on the arithmetic of Earth
Trigram in pursuit of Algebraic and Mathematics ideals in
Wind Trigram.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, June 11th 2012
Let us look at this system again. Our given is a
thermodynamic expansion that generates dissipative
energy systems and natural selection and among these
dissipative systems. Since out systems is expanding out
of nothing into something, there is positive and negative,
yin and yang, energy and information appearing from a
universe generation process, and there seems to be no
limit possible, we have an infinite flux that make the
improbable probable. We have old son yang as that flux
and old daughter yin as the formal mathematical systems
potential zero that these logarithmic series to the base e
play upon and we have the exploration of the
improbable, symbolized by negative numbers, irrational
numbers, imaginary numbers out of the square root of
minus one, these penetrating within exploration is
symbolized by the square root of minus one (i). Its
opposite is the distribution without relativity of the
normal world symbolized by (=). The improbable self is
younger son yang and the probable society of these
improbable is relativity world association in younger
daughter yin. When you integrate these in the pi of the
boundless spheres and curves, you can also disintegrate
them in the quantum numbers of physics and chemistry
in the coordinate system based in the positive real
number one. Boundless integration is pleasure and
avoidance of pain in middle son yang and its opposite is
the suffering of the son of virgin wisdom in oldest
daughter yin symbolized by the narcissism of the virgin in
the egotistical numbers that are the emergent middle
daughter yin. So the avoidance of pain in middle son
yang is complemented by the narcissistic generation of
pain in middle daughter yin and passion in antisocial
oldest son yang is complemented by compulsive
mathematics and logic in the wisdom systems of oldest
daughter yin and finally the improbable in schizoid
youngest son yang, the prodigal son, is complemented by
the dependent normal probable in the worldly youngest
daughter yin.
From these we generate the trigrams in which
thermodynamics in the Thunder trigram becomes natural
selection and extinction in the fires of Flame trigram
which makes the improbable probable as Heaven trigram
expands and allows the accumulation and recombination
of complexity systems and gene pools in the population
genetics of Lake trigram. When phenotypic products are
analyzed in Mountain trigram and segregated by species
and subspecies, this allows the development of set points
and models and the exploration of adaptive peaks in
Wind trigram, supported by homeostatic feedback
mechanisms in Water Pit Abysm trigram, supporting and
maintaining the natural phenotypes exposed in Earth
trigram.

phenomenological aspects, see Brian Swimme, “The
Universe is a Green Dragon,” Bear, 1984. For the

the Astrology, look to Richard Tarnas, “Cosmos and
Psyche,” Plume, Penguin Group, 2006.
The natural world is as science describes it and its
emergence is, generally, what science predicts it to be, if
it is good science. The reason, however are not what
science gives as reasons, for, I believe the metaphysics
that generates the whole is much more like the
metaphysical systems described by visionaries like Ernest
Holmes, for more on this see above.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, June 16th 2012
The world seems to be governed by ESP and Astrology in
ways that do not make sense. My solution is a pure
mathology of the sort described by Ernest Holmes and
Alfred North Whitehead in which an emergent God is
generated from a ground of mathematical ideas. As
Holmes describes above, this makes a mythological
possibility that transcends the differences between all
mythological and theological systems, as Carse describes
above, the infinite game integrates all other games.
Astrology, Esp, the Holographic Universe, are simply
places where the effect of the boundless pi, the
integration of all things in the boundless, spills over into
the Finite Game. The Earth Trigram shows its origins in
the Heaven Trigram, Spirit, per Holmes is reflected in the
Law of the One, to generate the Earth Trigram that we
see. Spirit is simple the youngest son yang operating
with in the integrative system provided by middle son
yang, using the energy generated by oldest son yang to
court the wisdom hidden in oldest daughter yin (the law
of mind, of information systems, of mathematics) to
generate emergent quantum mechanics (the manifesting
body of particles and atoms) in middle daughter yin and
the relativistic thermodynamic emergence of the cosmos
that appear in the probable world that is youngest
daughter yin. Heaven Trigram is another word for the
God of the metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead and
Wind Trigram for his Eternal Objects. Earth Trigram is his
actual occasions and Thunder Trigram is the events the
generate them. Prehensions are the Mountain Trigram
aspect of these processes in Flame Trigram and the nexi
and propositions associated with them are aspects of
Lake Trigram and Water Pit Absym Trigram as elements
of the systems processes and complexity theory that
make possible this large system. Thus, Astrology is a
manifestation of this system, Dharma is a manifestation
of this system, spun from the wheel of Karma in Flame
and Mountain Trigram as the individual endlessly courts
the collective, objective and subjective dance as yang
and yin through the emergent processes that generate
the visible world.
Allan Andrews, Bakersfield CA, June 16th 2012.
The realm of science, described in places like the Physics
of “The Road to Reality,” cited above, or “Evolution After
Darwin,” cited above, seems to be a simple play between
zero energy mathematics and information and systems
theory in eldest daughter yin wisdom and the dance of
Shiva in eldest son energy thermodynamics described in
works like “The Tao of Physics.” But then you are left
with the choice of path dilemma, the problem of why
pain is painful and pleasure is pleasure. The answer
becomes the Buddhist pursuit of detachment and
compassion, since narcissistic attachment and
disintegration is pain and its pain avoidant detachment,
and compassionate integration, is pleasure. Pain is
disintegration from the inside and pleasure is integration
from the inside. Now you have the play between the
middle son yang of the Infinite Game and the middle
daughter yin of the Finite Game, the daughter with the
narcissistic son who wants to be Emperor of the World,
the Buddhist Prince who decides to be King rather than
Buddha.
But that Buddha detachment is not possible without the
schizoid condition that is the enlightenment of being
from within Buddhahood, or younger son yang. This
condition that changes energy into passion and
information into Buddhamind, it alone can bring peace to
the dependent attachment of the world in youngest
daughter yin.
Allan Ralph Andrew, Bakersfield, CA, June 16th 2012
Everything begins with the dance of Shiva, of old son
yang awaking female wisdom, awaking the karmic law,
awaking mathematical wisdom, awaking the system
complexity of Mother Nature in oldest daughter yin.
From this comes the integration of everything in Nirvana,
Brahman, Allah, the Christian God of Love, Buddhist
Compassion, Hindu Cit Sat Ananda and the Elohim that is
middle son yang Vishnu the preserver, the preserving
avoidant circle of endless pi curves, the loving curve of
the Sun and the gravitation that lovingly hugs the Earth.
Its opposite is the middle daughter of Mother Nature,
the quantum world of disintegration into particles,
waves, atoms, electronic valence, etc. Finally, existence
plunges within into Buddha enlightenment in the
Creative Spirit that is Brahma, the creator, who makes
energy into passion and information into knowledge and
local space into individual awareness and integration into
pleasure and disintegration into pain and the collective
return of the individual into the whole into death and
sleep and dreams and reborn awareness in reincarnation
and cycle of rebirth governed by the laws of circular mind
manifesting as astrological Dharma. This generates local
personal time in younger son yang singularity
monadology and public space and time association of
personal time in the space time relativity of the normal
probable world. Younger son yang is utterly improbable,
utterly free and utterly immortal, it is existence turned
inside breaking all existing laws and rules and utterly
changing all things from within. It is reflected, as Ernest
Holmes relates in his books cited above, in the public
normal world of youngest daughter yin. Holmes does
not use the yin and yang systems of the I Ching as I do
here, but I have described above how the language of
the various systems, including the I Ching system, are all
subject to interrelationships and conversions, are all part
of the Many Mansions of creation, the many forms that
the Infinite Game, described by Carse, cited above, can
take. Immortality is never the same for any two monads
of the whole, for any two concentrations of creation in
the infinitesimal points of the circles of the one. In
respect to these circles, the local points are the Christs,
the Buddhas, the Sons of God, the circle is God the
Father and Mother and the Zero point axis from which it
emerges because of the turning of the wheel by the
dancing of Shiva, that is the whole spirit, the holy spirit,
the union of the entire circle with the spinning wheel of
its creation. This wheel spins out the voice that is the
boundless outreach that is the Father, the curving inward
that is the Mother in its manifestation as the Holy Virgin
Queen, and it voices the words of creation in the local
logos (word) that is the phenomenological monad within
each soul, the Christ Buddha deep within. All this
mathematics of pi and (i) and (e) and its manifestation in
(0) and (1) and (=) is but the working out of this Infinite
Game in Heaven Trigram, the God of the Metaphysics of
Alfred North Whitehead and the source of the actual
occasions of the Finite Game in the world measured by
arithmetic and science in the Earth Trigram that is the
phenotype generated in the objective world by its ideal
genotype in the subjective. The framing of this genotype
is the Eternal Object in Wind Trigram and the process of
its expression is Thunder Trigram. The natural selection
that it generates is Flame Trigram and the speciation is
Mountain Trigram. The homeostasis generating
feedback is Water Pit Abysm, and the resulting gene pool
and recombination and population genetics is Lake
Trigram. In our world, Flame is Free Will, and Mountain
is empirical mind, Water Pit Abysm is astrological fate,
and Lake is the complex systems of birth and rebirth with
which rebirth is associated in the curvature of gravitation
and space as the external reflection of hidden curvature
of passion and pleasure hidden within (to understand
this you must read the Universe is a Green Dragon, bu
Brianne Swimme).

So our first duality is the polarity between flux and the
expansion of natural logarithm energy in e in eldest son
yang and structure and system in the zero point of the
coordinates eldest daughter yin. Our first integration is
middle son yang pi curvature and calculus and our first
disintegration is in the real and natural number 1. Then
we have the singular irrational roots that integrate by
concentration in the creative imaginary numbers of
youngest son yang or the real natural rational number
exponents of the equivalents in the associations and
arithmetic and probability and set and group theory that
is the expanding three and four number 2 and 3 and 4
dimensional space of the relativistic world of youngest
daughter yin. Now the Heaven Trigram will become the
God of Alfred North Whiteheads process philosophy and
the Earth Trigram will become actual occasions, Wind
Trigram will become Eternal Objects and Thunder will
become events, Mountain will become Prehensions and
Lake will become Nexi, Flame Trigram will become
contrasts, and the like, and Water Pit Abysm will become
the Propositions that support rationalism and reason. In
this rationalism, oldest daughter yin is the analytic
geometry of Descartes, and middle son yang is the
integration God of Spinoza and his Ethics, youngest son
yang is the Monadology and the Jiva Monads of Leibnitz.
Eldest daughter yin is the mathematics, middle daughter
yin is the quantum mechanics, and youngest daughter
yin is the relativity of Roger Penrose and The Road to
Reality. His triangle on page 20 of this text, Knopf, 2004,
is the trinity (the Trigonometry) that emerges in
Mountain Trigram from the Calculus of Heaven Trigram
and the Algebra (Euler’s Formulas) of Wind Trigram to
generate the Topology of Flame, Arithmetic of Earth,
Probability of Thunder, that merges in the Set Theory of
Water Pit Abysm rationality and the Group Theory of the
complexity that emerges in the recombinations of Lake
Trigram. Heaven Trigram is the romantic and Earth is the
realistic possibility, Wind is the classical and Thunder is
the expressionistic, Mountain is the impressionistic
analysis and Lake is the post impressionistic synthesis.
Flame is the cubist experiment and Water Pit Abysm is
the baroque absolutism, the rationalist attempt to bridge
all disordered gaps in some universal state.
All possibilities are eternal in the integration of middle
son yang, the nirvana Brahman allah that is Spinoza’s
God and the Neoplatonic One. Here the split between
the never created or destroyed energy of
thermodynamics in eldest son yang and information
possibility and mathematical potential and systems
potential in eldest daughter yang is healed and made
whole and holy in the Holy Spirit that is contained in a
super super cosmic egg that integrates all things.
It is in the narcissistic particulars of the quantum
mechanics of the world of disintegration and suffering
that is middle daughter yin that we find death and local
hell and local pain, narcissism and the isolated number
one is the gateway to hades and the grave. These two
opposites are bridged in the association that generates
astrology and birth and rebirth and cosmic birth and
death in youngest daughter yin and the Lake Trigram and
Water Pit Abysm Trigram it generates in the form of the
collective unconscious and its collective sleep. Its
opposite is the awakening of the self and of the monad
of the self in the Buddha Christ moment that is the jiva
monad of youngest son yang. These monads are eternal
in their own unique time system that is ever returning to
the immortality of the One, as described by Ernest
Holmes in his book This Thing Called You.
This immortality has its own time system because each
monad generates its own unique time thread and
generates its own unique interpretation of all things.
Twenty billion years of sleep in the death of the monad is
as one half second, when it reawakens and reattaches to
the world in the new emergence of conscious localization
and individual manifestation. It is this detachment and
integration with the one that generates the magical
triumph that is the Jesus Logos of the Gospel of John and
of the Buddhist Scriptures. This immortality belongs to
the Infinite Game of James P. Carse, not to the Finite
Game of the science of the Skeptical Inquirer.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Saturday June 23rd 2012
If Wind and Heaven Trigram are the realm of One
becoming Two in the dance of energy and information,
and generating the Three that will make the
trigonometry of Mountain Trigram and its permutations
in Flame Trigram topology, then Earth Trigram is the Four
of the tetrahedron of Air in Wind and Fire in Flame and
Water in Lake. From it comes and collective system of
complexity and order in Water Pit Abysm and Lake
Trigram that supports the emergence in Thunder Trigram
of the polarity between existence, in the tetrahedron
above, and its expansion into nothingness and vacuum
and non existence in Thunder Trigram opposite of the
Euler harmony in Air and Wind Trigram classical beauty,
describe above. This three dimensional classical system
of Wind Trigram will expand, per the mathematics of
Penrose in the Road to Reality, into the quantum
mechanics of yes and no and right and left handed
complementarity, generating a world that is four
dimensional in relativity and five and six dimensional in
its expansion into the manifolds of string theory and M
theory possibility. In the complexity that is the group
theory of this endless emergence, this Evolution as
Entropy.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield CA, June 23rd 2012
The primary axis of polarity emerges from eldest
daughter zero yin to eldest son log e yang. This
generates two kinds of one, the singular one that is (i)
root of minus one imaginary and the inclusive one that is
the pi circle sphere egg that unites all things. The
compulsive math based on zero is spun out by the
antisocial energy and passion that propels its exponential
expansion and it unites in the infinite through avoidant pi
and in the infinitesimal through the schizoid root of
minus one monadology. From this emerges the trines of
the source in Heaven Trigram and its idealization in Wind
Trigram and its triangulation in the trigonometry and
geometric analysis of Mountain Trigram and its breakage
and extincition in the natural selection and liberation of
Flame Trigram topology. From this emerge the
complementary four based trigrams of Wind and Air and
Flame as Fire and Earth as Earth and Lake as Water and
their opposites in Air to Thunder and Fire to Water Pit
Abysm and Water to Mountain Salt and Earth to Heaven.
But, this emergent four in Earth Trigram tetrahedron,
octahedron, cube generates the cube of existence that is
mirrored in Thunder Trigram in the cube of nonexistence, that is mirrored in turn in right and left, and
yes and no, in type and counter type, in example and
complement, so that a three dimensional sphere and
cube become a hypercube and so on to an endless
degree generating the mathematics of quantum
mechanics.
In respect to the mathology, the infinite game, the
mythology that this system generates, the possibilities
are endless. The world is mortal in the narcissistic and
reincarnates in the dependent. Its structures are
immortal in the compulsive zero point and the energy
that drives it is neither created or destroyed in the
antisocial thermodynamics of log to base e. All of this is
preserved in Vishnu as the integrative boundless one of
the multidimensional integration pi that is the fruit of the
God of Spinoza’s Ethics and the metaphysics of Plotinus
and Sancara and Buddha. But this Nirvana can manifest
in the world as the schizoid Buddha or the dependent
Sanga, as Christ or the Church, as Mohammed or Islam.
Immortality manifest through reincarnation or the
schizoid detachment and return of the monad one that is
(i) with the infinite boundless one based on pi. So the
infinitesimal singular monad is just another focal piece of
the One. Yet, it must be preserved because it is the
opening to the new country, it alone can preserve the
expansion into the novel, it is the irrational root, the
creative source of new topology. This is what it means to
be called the logos, the Word of the Gospel of John. This
is a metaphor for the creative root of the soul,
In this Infinite Game, the Bible becomes a metaphor for
the mind. Genesis and Revelation are the Heaven
Trigram (Alpha and Omega) and the Gospels are Wind.
Mountain is the wisdom books and Lake is Psalms. Flame
is the Prophets and Water Pit Abysm is the Law. Earth is
the Church and its Epistles and Teachings and Thunder is
its history, the events that generated it in Acts,
Chronicles, Kings, etc. God as Jehovah is eldest son yang
and as Elohim is middle son yang. As Middle son yang
generates youngest son yang it generates the Father, and
as youngest son yang reunites with the zero root that is
wisdom, the mind of God in Santa Sophia, eldest
daughter yin, it becomes the creative logos, the only
begotten son of God, which uniting with the zero and
entering the purity of the Virgin, reunites with the
original one as the Holy Spirit, completing the Euler
formulas of perfect wisdom. This infinite game
Christmas Easter of the Heart is the true Buddha Prophet
and the only path to pure and true salvation, the true
inner Kingdom of Heaven within. It is the mathological
infinite game, the battlefield of Krishna of the Gita, which
Gandhi discovered is a metaphor for the soul. This
whole mythology is exposed in Thomas Troward’s Bible
Mystery and Bible Meaning and in the Science of Mind
textbook written by Ernest Holmes, see the discussion
above.
The Buddhist, the Christian, the Muslim, the atheist, the
agnostic, are different Mansions of the Infinite Game, the
game seen from different points of view. The atheist
looks at the game from the narcissistic examination of its
parts, the Buddhist from the avoidant contemplation of
the whole. The Christian puts focus on the singular
schizoid logos that is the only begotten, read Thomas
Merton’s Seeds of Contemplation, and the Hindu on the
dance of Shiva in antisocial destruction. For the Moslem
and the Jew it is all the zero point law by which all things
must be measured. For the Marxist and the Confucian, it
is all the associations of the community and the State in
some dependent social system.
The finite game is all mortality. The only immortality in
the finite game is the cycles of nature. But this universe
itself is only an infinitesimal point within the Infinite
Game. It is this larger game in which the monad soul is
immortal. Billions and Billions of years of sleep are but
an instant when the monad reawakes and forms its own
unique strand of time through the web of all being and
becomes the Budhisattva that awakens all of nonbeing in
new forms of creative inexistence. This true creative
immortality belongs to the shaman cycles of the
dreamtime that is the dream danced out by antisocial
Shiva in his play with the compulsive systems of holy
wisdom in Mother Kali. This Shiva, dancing to the log e,
is also Jehovah, as one avatar of the Elohim that is Vishnu
the boundless pi, father and mother, with Brahma
making Adam and becoming the Christ within, the
Buddha, Krishna in the Brindiban and the battlefield of
the Soul in the inner heart, he is the creative spirit in the
soul, the Aslan the Lion of the inner Narnia. He, she is
the source of all new creation, all irrational numbers that
break through the rational order and the analytic
coordinates that run out of the time and space of the
existing zero point system. This Jesus that is Isis, Horus,
etc, takes the form of the virgin wisdom that is Mary and
the eldest daughter Santa Sophia and impregnates the
divine mathematical form with new possibilities. My
deep Christ Buddha mind soul is the creative seed of all
new time, the renewal of time, the generation of new
time to restore life to the dead time of space time
rational number relativity. Only the monad give only
begotten can fracture the cosmic egg and its rational
number universal absolutism and absolute law, only the
Christ mind can break the old order and free us from the
bondage of sin, and that mind belongs to the infinite
game and not the finite game, to God and not to
Mammon, if found in the inner heart and not in the
public world. It do not know where God the Father will
plant the logos seed of his creative son, where God the
Mother will give birth to her ever born child, but I need
not know, for the other side will come as a moment in
the new kingdom of the God of the ultimate future.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, June 24th 2012
I must have faith in the power of the inner Krishna Christ
Mohammed Buddha to generate a new dominion of the
God, Mother Father, One, of the infinite future, a new
kingdom of Heaven carved out of the ultimate future
that will save everything that I need to save. This is a
Nirvana that is gone gone gone utterly beyond according
to the rational number coordinates of all known space
time relativistic world, this kingdom does not belong to
the Finite Game or to Mammon, but to the God of the
Ultimate Future. This is born in the womb of the Holy
Spirit and Holy Wisdom in the pure Isis Virgin that is the
zero point potential of pure perfection, the true Virgin as
the Queen of the true Heaven source. If I believe, my
monad soul will deliver its creativity and break though
the rational numbers to this irrational possibility. I will
transcend the law that condemns, in Romans, through
the saving grace of God in Christ and his transformation
of his narcissistic suffering in the compulsive narcissistic
dependent realm that is the Finite Game of Earth Trigram
of the Cosmos known in relativistic and quantum
mechanical physics and thermodynamics. See Ernest
Holmes on the teachings of Christianity in his Science of
Mind, referred to above. See p. 485 of the above and his
commentary on Romans, also pp. 486, 487. See his
commentary on II Corinthians, p. 488, etc.. Again, I
repeat, the home of all of this is Right Hemisphere
metaphor, is the Infinite Game, not the Finite Game. This
is not something that belongs in skeptical inquirer. I am
making no scientific claims. I am not asking to alter
existing physics, rather my Infinite Game plays out a
different interpretation of the parapsychology and
astrology found in books like Richard Tarnas, Cosmos and
Psyche or Michael Talbot’s Holographic Universe.
Holmes does a very good job of explaining what that
means in respect to a subject such as Immortality, in the
textbook cited above. As Holmes points out, belief in
immortality is a natural reaction of the human mind, the
actual source of that belief is unimportant, for the world
of visible fact emerges from the world of metaphor and
dreams. You cannot exclude a human from the
Dreamtime World, or from the Infinite Game, no matter
how important you chose to make local fact and the
Finite Game. The Right Hemisphere insists on its
priorities and is the origin of Left Hemisphere factual
experience. The Actual Occasions of Alfred North
Whitehead lead back, through Prehension and through
Eternal Objects, to Whitehead’s God, just as all
philosophy since Socrates leads backward, in someway,
to the mathology that supports Plato’s Form of the Good.
Both Real and Imaginary Numbers have their own
metaphysics. Refer to the Quantum Mind, cited above.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, Ca June 24th 2012
The Zero point of eldest daughter yin is the axis of the
great wheel of log to the base e progressions in eldest
son yang. We move from a point to a line and from the
infinitesimal to finite extensions in time and space along
the great circle that moves from the transcendent
infinitesimal through the finite into the infinite that is so
extended that in merges with the infinitesimal. The
movement from the source of all things in the Heaven
Trigram through the improbable it makes probable in the
ideal that is Wind Trigram and its product in Earth
Trigram and its extension and evolution in Thunder it a
line that runs counter to the line that moves from the
individual to the collective in Mountain and Water Pit
Abysm and back to the individual through Lake and
Flame Trigram. Now we have three lines through middle
son yang and middle daughter yin, through youngest son
yang and youngest son yin, generating a series of
triangles that become the great sphere, cube,
octahedron, pyramid, of the eight trigrams. But, there is
another polarity between this sphere of the existent (e)
and its opposite in the inexistent (zero), each having a
polarity in turn, between the interior (pi) and the exterior
(1), and again between the given (=) and the not given (i).
So there is an endless sequence in which the sphere
generates as supersphere and a supersphere beyond into
the infinite, as the dimensions compound themselves
into endless complexity and simple phenomenological
time and space become complex relativistic public time
and space. This means manifest universes of various
types and kinds at various degrees of refinement and
interaction. The more crude and finite a universe is, the
less the effects of the paranormal and the synchronistic
on that universe, but the more defined and the more
public that universe becomes. This universe is relatively
crude, with a level of paranormal intrusion and
synchronicity that is so low that it is difficult to show
statistically that it is even there. As a result, most
phenomenological attachments of soul monads only
occur through astral bodies formed by complexes of
souls and more refined levels of materialization.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA July 2nd 2012
The great wheel of yang energy that is neither created
nor destroyed whirls around the axis of the zero energy
information and mathematical potential of all things. All
the energy and structure in existence is immortal in this
relationship which continually resurrects and
reincarnates all things and energy reinvest in structure
and form in every combination possible. All things that
can be are endlessly reoccurring. Shiva, old son yang,
endlessly reawakens the goddess Kali of mother nature
in her endless array of forms as eternally reborn oldest
daughter yin. All things are immortal as part of the
boundless everything one that is middle son yang and
the reoccurring patterns of nature that are middle
daughter yin. They are also immortal as youngest son
yang concentrates energy and pattern in the soul as the
monad of phenomenological freedom, which since it is
infinitesimal, penetrates all systems and all boundaries,
forever concentrating awareness in new ways into the
here and now units that assemble the strands of primary
time. Secondary time is assembled out of primary time
to generate the many worlds of complex space time and
the many associations of souls that generate the complex
astral forms that support systems of astrology and birth
and rebirth. So the soul is immortal in a primary way in
its monad self and in a secondary way through its
associations and relationship generating the wheel of
birth and rebirth.
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, July 7th 2012
This series of dialectical oppositions symbolized by the I
Chings eight trigrams, Infinite Heaven against Finite
Earth, Free Fire against Organized Water Pit, Simple
Analytic Mountain against Complex Synthesis Lake,
Classical Ideal Wing against Evolving Expressionist
Thunder, is also present in the complementary opposites
of morality and ethics. Heaven Trigram becomes
nonconsequent subjective ethics against Earth trigram
conseguent objective ethics. Fire is free will against
Water Pit Abysm order and mechanism. Wind is the
absolute good against the relativistic contingencies of
Thunder Trigram. Finally, Lake Trigram is a synthesis of
rewards against the analytic punishments and judgments
that characterize Mountain Trigram simplicity and
specification. The truly loving Heaven is nonconsequent
in the rewards it offers to the world of its absolutely
good mechanisms. It is opposed to an Earth of
consequences and judgments and punishments imposed
on the chaotic and relativistic free choices that cut the
agent off from submission to the mechanism of the good,
the law of God. That might be a description of the
system organized by Islam. In contrast consider a free
reward that is nonconsequent and subjective and relative
to the state of the individual, but opposed to a
mechanism of punishment that is at once objective and
absolute. Here we have a description both of Buddhist
detachment from the wheel of birth and rebirth, and the
Christian notion of salvation through grace. I suggest
that a whole set of theological dichotomies are possible,
depending on how you combine these complementary
opposites. I also suggest that the John Calvins of the
world happily use them to order, to divide, and to
theologically conquer the unprepared.
The medicine I offer to the various theological
personality disorders created by such divisions, histrionic
for the saved, schizotypal for the visions of the damned,
dependent for those who follow the teaching, schizoid
for those who isolate to learn it, and narcissistic for those
who lead and teach, yet compulsive for those who feel
they must comply, masochistic for those who submit and
sadistic for those who judge and punish, such systems
are cured by a bit of the classical virtue of moderation.
These oppositions are complementary and belong to a
single whole, not a battlefield of opposites. Amen.
This system of opposition pervades the geometry of all
things. If we make the galaxy the Heaven Trigram and
the Earth, Earth Trigram, we have the basic Heaven to
Earth polarity of infinite to finite, nonconsequent
subjective to consequent objective, source to product.
The Black Hole system at the center of the Galaxy, can
play the role of the Flame Trigram openness and the
gravitational system the Black Hole organizes can play
the role of Water Pit Abysm closure and determination.
The Sun can play the role of a giving star, a reward
offering Lake Trigram solar complex, and planets like
Venus can play role of Mountain Trigram isolation and
punishment. The Solar System ideal provides the
Newtonian absolutes that rule the system of time and
space that is the astrology that gives the days and years,
this is Wind Trigram classical idealism. But, changes,
local weather, this is Thunder Trigram relativity.
We have shown elsewhere how religions can be placed in
this system based on their eldest daughter yin
compulsiveness, as in Judaism and adherence to the
Torah, or the Antisocial opposite of eldest son yang, as in
some of the tribal religions with no clear ethical laws.
This also can be found in some forms of South Asia
religion worshiping Kali, a female form of Shiva, for
example the infamous “Thug” cult. Many of the South
Asian religions tend toward youngest son yang schizoid
withdrawal, as in Jainism, or middle son yang avoidance
as in Buddhism. Confucianism favors the dependent
opposite of the schizoid, in youngest daughter yin, and
new age Christianity favors the narcissistic opposite of
Buddhist avoidance of attachment. In general, Hinduism
favors the Schizotypal tendency of Heaven Trigram and
existential and materialist New Age versions of Christian
faith the depressive tendencies of Earth Trigram.
Histrionic Christianity belongs to the Thunder Trigram
and Buddhism and Janism to the paranoia of the Wind
Trigram. Islam seems to follow the masochistic forms of
the Water Pit Abysm and Orthodox Christianity, the
borderline forms of the Lake Trigram. Agnostic forms
seem to fix in the negativism of Mountain Trigram and
cult and aboriginal belief in the sadism of Flame Trigram.
So we have Hinduism in Heaven Trigram opposed to New
Age Christianity in Earth Trigram, Buddhism and Jainism
in Wind Trigram opposed to Protestant Christianity in
Thunder Trigram, Islam in Water Pit Abysm opposed to
cults, aboriginal, and experimental faiths in Flame, We
have Orthodox belief in Lake Trigram opposed to
skepticism in Mountain Trigram.
This creates a geographic system with Heaven Trigram
India opposed to Earth Trigram Europe; Wind Trigram
Tibet opposed to Thunder Trigram North America; Water
Pit Abysm Trigram Middle East, Iraq, Iran, and Turkestan
opposed to Flame Trigram Pacific Rim Ring of Fire,
African Rift, Andes, Volcanic regions of America and
Indonesia, Japan, etc.; Lake Trigram Russia and China,
opposed to Mountain Trigram Switzerland, Scandinavia,
England, New England, Quebec, British Columbia, etc..
Heaven Trigram is tropical and Earth is temperate (Papua
against France). Wind Trigram is elevated and Thunder
Trigram is coastal lowland (Tibet against New York City).
Water Pit Abysm is sedimentary and divided by internal
rivers and basins and Flame Trigram is volcanic and
disturbed by external systems of mountains, oceans, and
lakes that are rifting and moving land forms (thus Peru,
Indonesia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Japan, etc.) (Japan against
Iran). Lake Trigram is a complex of rivers and lakes that
absorbs and dissolves and Mountain Trigram is the
simple isolation of a mountain, an island, a peninsula
that separates and isolates and prevents absorption and
synthesis (England against Russia).
It is important not to put too much emphasis on religion.
The major religions are largely functions of language. If
your holy language is Arabic, you are probably Muslim. If
it is Sanskrit, you are probably Hindu. If it is Bali, you are
South Asia Buddhist and if it is Japanese, Korean, or
Chinese, you are probably Mahayana Buddhist, if it is
Tibetan, you are probably Tibetan Buddhist. If it is
Japanese, you probably also are into Shinto or Zen or
both. If it is Chinese, you may be Confucian or Daoist. If
it is Hebrew, you are probably Jewish. If it is Greek, you
are probably Orthodox. If it is Latin, you are probably
Catholic. If it is German, you are probably Lutheran. If it
is English, you are probably Church of England, Church of
Scotland or one of the non-conforming alternatives.
Change the holy language and you change the faith. So
religion is all about language communities based on faith
and faith related holy textbooks, poems and stories in
the case of non-literate cultures (thus the Greek
polytheism rooted in the poems of Homer).
These religious systems have a limited lifespan. This is
not obvious because many of these systems endure for
long periods of time. But after a thousand to two
thousand years, they must go through a major transition
or die. Typically these changes involve the split off of a
conservative community that maintains the original faith,
but seeks no new converts, and split off new forms of the
faith that add additional holy books and seek new
converts. An example of this is the split between
Christians and Jews at the time of Christ and between
Christians and Jews and Moslems at the time of
Mohammed.
Another example is the split in Buddhism between those
that accept and those who reject the Mahayana, and
among the Mahayana between those who accept and
those who reject the tantric forms that became Tibetan
worship or the meditative forms that became Zen
worship.
A similar split occurred between the Orthodox and
Catholic communities around the use of Greek or Latin as
the holy language, and later between Catholic and
Protestant versions of Western Christianity surrounding
new translations of scriptures into German, English, etc.,
and changes of doctrine that occurred at the same time.
These changes are inevitable. The degree of the change
is a function of the degree of the stress. Eventually, deep
stress will cause all existing religions to fail and generate
new systems that absorb the old. Christianity has
internalized the Isis worship of Egypt as the doctrine of
Mary Queen of Heaven and the death are resurrection of
Jesus as the source of salvation. To this it has appended
Hebrew scriptures that collect together many of the
myths and legends of the fertile crescent, including the
notion of the source of the faith in Abraham of Ur in
Mesopotamia. It has also absorbed the notions of a war
between Heaven and Hell and good and evil, and an
afterlife characterized by salvation or damnation, a belief
system out of ancient Persia.
Current Hindu belief has incorporated many notions of
Buddhism, Persian faith, Jainism, and an Eastern version
of the Neoplatonism of ancient Greece and Rome and
added to it the local forms of the Indus River Valley and
the Dravidian cultures of South India. More recent
developments show the influence of Islam.
Current Chinese and Japanese faith is a synthesis of
Buddhist, Confucian, Daoist, and local folk belief. In a
similar fashion, Islam has absorbed the Greek Philosophy
and Christian Theology, the Jewish and Persian theology
that came before it, and mingled all of these in a new
synthesis.
As a result, modern religion is basically a war between
the Muslim, Christian, Chinese, and Hindu traditions in
various mutant forms and shapes. Suppose Mountain
Trigram represents reason, supporting it is science in
Earth Trigram, adventure and experiment in Flame
Trigram and classical idealism in Wind Trigram. Opposed
to it is traditional faith, symbolized by Chinese folk
religion in Lake Trigram, Christian histrionics in Thunder
Trigram, Hindu magic in Heaven Trigram and Muslim
submission to fate in Water Pit Abysm. That seems to be
our current state, but this state will change. It is
inevitable. That it is not changing now is no accident.
Religious faith only changes in times of great stress. That
our old faiths are still with us means nothing but the
truth that things are relatively speaking good. Is it a
surprise that Islam rises when its treasury is rich with
money from oil, or that the Texas version of Protestant
Christianity spreads when its treasury is rich from Texas
gas and oil. Is it a surprise?
Allan Ralph Andrews, Bakersfield, CA, July 21st 2012
Consider a primitive Earth Trigram vedic practice and a
Thunder Trigram dravidan practice in early India.
Suppose the middle class Jains develop a Flame Trigram
alternative and the upper class Buddhist develop an even
higher Wind Trigram avoidance of lower class actions.
Suppose a dursana yoga practive Mountain Trigram
develops in a similar way out of the Dravidian system,
and leads to upper class Hinduism Heaven Trigram as an
alternative to Buddhism. Suppose a caste system
develops out of Hinduism as an opposition to Flame
Trigram non caste Jainism. Suppose a Ramayana and
Mahabarata Lake Trigram provide an opposition to
Mountain Trigram dursana.
Allan Ralph Andrews, July 22nd 2012
If Hinduism can jump from Vedic practice in Earth
Trigram to caste free practice in Flame in Jainism and a
higher level of detachment in Wind Trigram Buddhism.
Jumping from Dravidian practice in Thunder Trigram to
the dursanas and yoga in Mountain and a higher level of
detachment in Hinduism in Heaven Trigram, all
supported by the caste system in Water Pit Abysm and
the literature in the Ramayana, Gita, etc. in Lake Trigram,
if that is possible for the expansion of Hinduism, so
Christianity can expand also.
Orthodox literature in Greek in Lake Trigram can be
mirrored in Catholic literature and church structure in
Latin in Water Pit Abysm. Water Pit Abysm can split off
Protestant Histrionics in Thunder Trigram, which can split
off Unitarian and Universalist skepticism in Mountain
Trigram and finally New Age romanticism, in Theosophy
and New Thought, in Christian Science and the like, all in
Heaven Trigram. Greek literature in Lake Trigram can
support Classical philosophy and Neoplatonism in Wind
Trigram, and its reflections in Catholic Theology,
Augustine and Aquinus. This in turn can support all sorts
of division and sects and heresy in break way aspects of
Flame Trigram. Thus, Flame Trigram heresy is opposed
to Water Pit Abysm Catholic Inquisitors and Mountain
Trigram debate and agnosticism is opposed to Orthodox
literature and belief in Lake Trigram. Rational theology
and metaphysics in Wind Trigram is opposed to
Protestant hysteria in Thunder Trigram. Romantic New
Age belief in Heaven Trigram Theosopy, etc, is opposed
to Scientific Humanism and Utilitarism, materialism and
pragmatism, in Earth Trigram, as later developments of
the break away heresy in Flame, supported by analysis
and debate in Mountain Trigram. All of these can be
seen as having irrational roots, based on differences of
temper, not on difference rooted in logic or reason. New
Age is to Utilitarian, Neoplatonic is to Protestant hysteria,
Orthodoxy is to Unitarianism, Catholic faith is to heresy,
as romanticism is to realism, as classicism is to
expressionism, as symbolism is to impressionism, as the
Baroque is to the Cubist, it is all temper, temper,
differences of temper. The evidence shows that these
differences of temper have to do more with social status,

So we begin with the zero point that is the mathematical
center in eldest daughter yin and count out the number
units of the atoms and particles of the quantum world in
middle daughter world, all of which have equality in the
space time relativity of the worlds of youngest daughter
yin. This Earth Trigram emerges from the power series of
the natural logs to the base e of energy thermodynamics
in the Heaven trigram. This eldest son yang generates
the curving systems of middle son yang in pi in the
inclusion of all things in the one system that completes
all things, endlessly extended in e and turning inward in
the pure revulsion of the void in the square root of minus
one in “i” , the imaginary number, all of which merge into
eldest daughter yin in zero in Euler’s Identity to generate
the Wind trigram of Ideal Mathology.
This pure consciousness, pure mathematics, pure energy
is eternal in the boundless inclusion of the one, as
endless bliss and the Zamini of the Dreamtime
timelessness. Hell, suffering is attachment to the one
and the equivalent, space time systems of the one,
expanding out into the entropy that is endless flux in
oldest son yang, suffering in middle daughter yin, and noself in the association of space and time in the relativity
of youngest daughter yin. This gives us the worlds of the
eight trigrams. Eternal romantic productivity and the
God of Whitehead in the Heaven Trigram. The Classical
Ideal in Euler’s Identity, the Platonic Good, the
metaphysics and mathology of Wind Trigram, and its
expression in the world of suffering and limitation that is
Earth Trigram and of flux and change that is Thunder
Trigram, realms of realism and expressionism as
complements to romanticism and classicism.
Trigonometic analysis, Whitehead’s prehensions, mind
and impressionism in Mountain Trigram complement
complex relationships and post-impressionism and
synthesis in the Lake Trigram. Alternatives and freedom
in the Flame Trigram are a Cubist and experimental
alternative to the rationalism and absolutism of the
Baroque mechanisms of the Water Pit Abysm Trigram.
Thus, Heaven belongs to Magic and Earth to Science.
Wind to Metaphysics and Thunder to Commerce. Flame
belongs to Art and Water Pit Abysm to Government.
Mountain is the realm of Logic and Philosophy and Lake
is the realm of Dogma and Literature. The Metaphysic of
Virtue in an Aristotelian and Confucian balance, a
harmony of all these complementary oppositions. An
Ethical system rooted in the Lake Trigram of Reward or
the Mountain Trigram of Punishment, the Wind Trigram
of Absolutes or the Thunder Trigram of the Relative, the
Flame Trigram of Free Will or the Water Pit Abysm of
Mechanism, the Heaven Trigram of Non Consequent
Intuition and Inspiration or the Earth Trigram of the
Consequent and the Utilitarian, there are all extreme.
The arguments between these positions are silly. Virtue
and moral excellence consists in some kind of harmony,
rational balance between these extremes of ethical
temper. As Immanuel Kant demonstrated in the Critique
of Pure Reason, existence is a complementary balance
between these extremes, where the union of open and
closed, necessary and contingent, infinite and finite,
simple and complex, is so tight and so total, no argument
or analysis will ever resolve the issues that lie between
these extremes. The good, the excellent, consists of
perfecting the balance between these opposites, not a
needless attempt to analyze and dissect the infinite
complexity of their interactions. It is the needless waste
of energy on such irresolvable issues that has created
much of the moral and ethical imbalance of the modern
world. The artist wants freedom and the government
wants order. The philosopher seeks simple analysis and
the preacher loves complex doctrines that defy analysis.
The business man loves the contingent and metaphysics
loves the necessary, the mathematical ideal. The mystic
loves the infinite and the scientist loves the measurable.
Let these instincts live in harmony and cultivate that
rational and balanced order, not some silly indefensible
utilitarian, or divine command, extreme that ignores
visible fact, or invisible potential.
Energy is neither created nor destroyed. Form,
mathematical structure, natural structure is endlessly
destroyed but endlessly regenerated. Actual energy is
eternal and the potential forms it can take are eternal
also. But this is also true for the reversion of these
forms, their internalization as consciousness. If energy is
neither created nor destroyed, its potential to regenerate
as passion is eternal also, also as awareness, the
generation of information systems that become mind
within, to disintegrate and generate pain within and to
integrate and generate pleasure within. So also is the
endless integration of everything into ever expanding
whole. The awareness of this is called Christ Mind,
Buddha Mind, and Prophecy, it is the imaginary number
of the mathology of the greater whole, while God,
Nirvana, Allah, Brahman, the Neoplatonic One, is the
boundless calculus, the pi that integrates all of this into
the indescribable void. The mathematical potential,
system potential it awakens is the nous, the Wisdom of
God, the Santa Sophia, the eldest daughter yin that
endless reawakens as a result of the attentions she
receives, the stimulus of the energy of the dance of
Shiva, of eldest son yang. Existence at this level is ideal.
Eternal, boundless, it is the realm of the romantic ideal,
the Kingdom of Heaven, the Form of the Good, the God
of Whitehead contemplating the Eternal Object he has
created and calling it “good.” The energy of the dance of
Shiva as eldest son yang dances out Infinite Flux and
becomes the middle son yang Jehovah God that is the
Visnu that incarnates as youngest son Adam, then
Krishna, then Buddha and Jesus in an endless series of
ever higher perfections. Each of us is a unique avatar of
that series and we are eternal in that endless process.
The discover of this inner Jesus Mohammed Prophet
Buddhamind essence is the door to the hidden Kingdom
of Heaven within and the escape into its ideal algebra
geometry from the complex world of trigonometry and
complex topology that is the fires of the Hell of Flame
Trigram as our own inner judge condemns us from the
high mountains of our own inner analysis and separation.
Conscious at is core is bliss, being and awareness, is a
bending inward of the endless boundless one potential,
the void, the blank slate of infinite becoming. But when
it fails to erase the board, attempts to hold on to the
individual numbers of its lessons, fails to allow itself to be
wiped clean, becomes a hell like that described by Dante.
Local consciousness is always finite and can never hold all
things, cannot hold its own immortality.
When people say that want immortality, what they
actually mean is the want is some version of the old
pagan immortality of the old pagan gods, the right to live
a few more years and not die today and retain some of
the vigor of youth as the same time. True, metaphysical
immortality, the entry of the boundless into the finite,
destroys the finite, explodes it, tears it apart. This, then
is one of those good news bad new things. We have
immortality at the metaphysical level as part of our
participation in the realm of the systems ideal and the
boundless regeneration of energy systems potentials, but
we cannot know that immortality, experience it in the
finite without generating a hell that destroys what we
are trying to create. This is dramatized in a famous
Hindu poem called the “Gita” where Vishnu appears to
the warrior Arjuna in the form of the god Krishna (an
aspect of Vishnu who is appearing as Arjuna’s chariot
driver as they go into battle) manifesting as the mighty
world consuming time.
Life complements the subjective with the objective, the
ideal with evolution and progressive expression, the
orderly with the free, the simple with the complex,
bringing learning and expansion. But, death withdraws
the subjective from the objective preventing its
separation and entrapment in the finite and the pain and
suffering that comes from the separation and
constriction of its potential within the local and the
particular. Death complements particular expression by
withdrawal back into the larger source from which it
emerged, fulfilling its cycle of individuation and
restoration to the collective whole.
Suffering and torment arise from too much attachment
to local and temporary conditions, to objective
manifestations that cannot endure. Without death and
release life looses its meaning, without rebirth, death has
no tangible product, no change to develop and evolve by
exposure to time and space and visible expression.
Without life, Heaven is a realm of ghosts and without
death Earth becomes a place of torment, a kind of hell, a
realm of endless pain. The finite clothes the infinite in
visible form and the infinite expands the finite into the
boundless whole from which it came. The infinite gives
the finite purpose and the finite allows the infinite to
generate measurable fruits that fulfill that purpose.
Without the finite, the infinite is only ideal possibility and
empty hope and without the infinite the finite is only
limitation and cruel meaningless fate. It is only in the
realm of harmony and complementary organization that
the broken pieces of the world can emerge in a larger
meaningful fulfilling whole, inclusive of life and death, of
space and the boundless, of time and the timeless, of
objective fact and subjective magic that gives passion to
energy and knowledge to information, and transforms
formal integration into love and bliss.

If you keep in the local time sequence, you are trapping
yourself in a local purgatory or hell. If you try to contact
your last incarnation, you are still trapped in the hell of
local space time. In the boundless infinite whole, finite
time spans and finite sequence are transcended by larger
boundless reference points. Only when you surrender to
the infinite can you become an angel, a messenger of
Infinite Heaven and the ideal whole. The pursuit of local
and tangible immortality is the pursuit of hell, of pain, of
suffering and limitation. True Buddha immortality is
gone gone gone utterly beyond. This is the Kingdom of
the liberated Christ, of the love and joy that have no
bounds.
To refuse to incarnate is to refuse the source of growth
and evolution, to refuse to open to new growths in time
and space, as in the worlds of Aslan in the Narnia stories
of C. S. Lewis. But, to stay in an incarnation past the
point you have learned from it, and to fail to unite with
its infinite source, is to become an ice princess and
create a local hell, as in the Narnia mythology.
