Esoteric Physics and Modern Physics




In contemporary Physics strings[1] are infinitesimal particles of matter. Scientific research, with the use of increasingly powerful accelerators, has obtained an immense quantity of data on the constitution of matter. String Theory proposes that all particles emerge from different types of interaction between strings and are held in four constituent families of matter. However, in contracting, stable or infinitely expanding models of the universe, the quantity of matter necessary to justify its existence does not meet with experimental observation. The missing part, defined as ‘dark matter’ still awaits the right theoretical setting, which may or may not result as definable. Therefore it will not necessarily be rational research that justifies the nature of existence and or its reasons for being. We can also assume the burden of such research and claim the right to adopt a different approach to its problems; alternative methods can be just as dignified as classic ones if conducted with common sense and enthusiasm.

In its current state it would seem that less than 5% of the universe comprises normal particles, protons and neutrons leaving the rest of the universe made up of, as yet, unrevealed constituents. Looking at it in extreme synthesis, we can say the theory of ‘dark matter’ states, of all the matter-energy in play in the cosmos only 4-5% is visible: the galaxies, planets, we ourselves, and the light and heat of the stars. More or less 23% is formed from dark matter and the remaining 73% by dark energy. The parallel between an awareness of reality and an awareness of ourselves becomes clearly evident. It is said that we use only 5% of our brains, 5% of our DNA (scientists are asking themselves what the rest is for, or even if it is ‘waste’!) and we are only conscious of ourselves 5% of the time and, that is on a good day. It is natural that in such conditions, we only perceive 5% of reality: all the rest is ‘dark’.

Paradoxically, however, it is We (that is our constantly active and operating consciousness) who create reality. All of it.
Always and entirely with the totality of ourselves, whether we are aware of it or not.
   
A precise correspondence exists between the awareness of what we are and the perception of the reality that surrounds us, given that the latter is nothing more than an extension of ourselves!  English novelist Henry M. Tomlinson said that: “We see things not as they are but as we are ourselves”. This is what we do on our plane of existence, at the level of our current consciousness, which is limited, vulnerable and programmable. Therefore the un-conscious with all its hopes and fears is nothing more than the unsuspected extension of ourselves in the ‘Great Beyond’, with all its angels, demons entities and monsters: it is nothing more than our own dark matter, with all its aliens and mysteries! And for those who are interested in global control and manipulation, the unconscious must always remain in a limited state; otherwise we would reawaken to the infinite consciousness of which we are all the expression and fulfilment!

This is why – in as much as we are human beings – we are so important, so unique: because it is within our power to create reality, any kind of reality. So important in fact that, those who are signalled out by the various esoteric cultures as our jailers (subtle, dimensional, alien etc...), actually have great need of us because the power to forge reality was only given to us humans, though at a higher level of awareness than our current one.

Therefore all ‘they’ have to do is encourage us to create the most suitable reality for them. It is made strong through of our lack of conscious awareness and they nourish themselves on it, prospering from the reality that we have created. We are totally brainwashed by their systems of persuasion, which slowly assign us the role of dominator on the one hand and dominated on the other.

The concepts of parallel worlds, echo-worlds and ultra light, contemporary and interpenetrating planes of existence have always been part of ancient cosmogonist traditions and likewise the complex conception of the human being and its soul.

Some recent considerations by modern astrophysicists, on the problem of the missing mass (in which the effects of gravitation are revealed), lead us to consider the possibility of interference from hypothetical, parallel or hyper-compressed worlds, which perhaps in turn constitute a multi-dimensional super-world: This is the Real as seen by physicists. Contrary to prevailing theories of physics our kind of metaphysics privileges a coherent and undulatory vision of reality that is not at all indeterministic.

In the infinitely small – just as at all scales – the mechanism of creation and universal evolution renews itself. It is well known that matter consists of more void than content and according to esoteric thought, in every atom, in every quark and even in the tiniest particle of matter that we might care to consider, it renews itself continuously, instant by instant, on all planes from inside the dynamics of the void, energy and creation.

Every object, whether it be living or inanimate, infinitesimal or gigantic, elementary or complex, has its own material parts, energy, subtle bodies, soul and spiritual essence at a level of self-awareness in proportion to its biological and existential complexity.

Inside the material world the clash between the void and time is renewed, the fundamental laws are modulated on various scales and, just as the macrocosm is sensitive to the ‘Mind of God’, in its smallness, every object is sensitive to the mind of the inner god in each one of us when opportunely conscious and operative.

The power of the mind lies in the power of creation and the transformation of the universal hologram at different levels, from illusion (the power of Maya, as the Hindus call it) to the intrinsic reality of all things. Transformations are achieved when we ourselves apply our reawakened consciousness to reality and know how to lead it back to the Absolute Being, to the One, to the Real.

The Mind, or better still the use of real Thought, creates and determines everything moment by moment. It creates and determines the One and each and every single part in simultaneous harmony. That Mind, that Power, permeates all things: it is everywhere, it operates everywhere. We, you and I, each one of us is a channel for this power which creates everything.

Rol, the famous Italian psychic, maintained that he was able to enter into contact with the ‘intelligent spirit’ of each and every thing and to have therefore discovered the true secret of the Universe, in virtue of his reawakened spirit, by overcoming the barrier of physical laws. This was basically the secret of his power over the material world.

Just as the derivative laws are consolidated around the primordial essence (the peak) and in order to climb, mass on successive levels of reality (time matrices, natural laws etc.), our identities (divine, mental, astral, biological etc.) collect around our inner spiritual essence, similar to the constellations of the zodiac – not by chance adopted by the ancients to reflect our characters – around a central Sun.

From the real to the transcendent, from God, who creates and transforms the infinite, to you who are creating and browsing this site, the same mechanism is expressed. The same power.


[1] In physics, ‘String Theory’ is currently under development and aims to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity and seems to have all the necessary characteristics for becoming a ‘Theory of Everything’. It is founded on the principle in which matter, energy and under certain hypotheses, space and time are manifestations of physical entities below which, according to the number of dimensions they develop in, they are called ‘Strings’.

Behind the ‘Scenes’: Entities and Aliens



The Spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain.
                                                             
                                                                             Aleister Crowley


We conventionally call ‘psycho-creatures’ all those intelligences that, following a certain esoteric terminology, distinguish themselves as:

·          Divinities
·          Egregors
·          Guardians, angels and angelicity
·          Demons
·          Energized thought forms and subtle creatures (or extra-dimensional beings that manifest in
   the same manner)
·          Disincarnate presences and helpers
·          Planetary spirits, elementals and those of nature
·          Larvae and ‘shells’ or phantoms.

All these entities make up a complex multi-dimensional and spiritual ecosystem, as well as the energy food chain in which we are immersed and participate regardless of whether we are aware of it or not.

In general terms we can say that each one of these:

·         Originates from a human aspect or from a personal a/o collective human projection
·         Represents more or less active and intelligent ‘information’
·         Superimposes itself or presides over an energetic/physical field, influencing its dynamics at various levels
·         Nourishes itself on vital a/o psychic a/o spiritual energy
·         Can enter into communication with the human being for different reasons and in different ways
·         Its manifestation can determine itself or be determined with great holographic versatility, influenced by the thought and suggestions that are applied to it.

Every psycho-creature contains and manages forces of a lower level, directing events in order to safeguard the territory from which it receives the energetic nourishment used for its own maintenance and development. The most complex entities ‘know’ how to cultivate their own resources by creating a suitable spiritual and subtle habitat, more or less in symbiosis with the human being and its evolution. The entities of a lower level often create a parasitic relationship with the energies or Form with which they enter into contact.

The human being is part of this spiritual eco-system and, as a bridge-Form, should be its evolved interpreter in relation to the material world.

If we are living in an eco-system, it is normal that beings from many other dimensions enter into contact with us or even make ‘use’ of us. According to esoteric tradition, extra a/o multi-dimensional Forms exist and continuously interact with us even though we do not realize it.

Perhaps in a previous phase of evolutionary human immaturity these entities – of different orders and degree – might have eventually constituted a scale of values towards the Real and Consciousness. Today, however, the psychic, astral, subtle or divine planes, as we often call them, are populated by entities that have absolved themselves of their function and now cloud and distance the human being from his essence and the reality of things, be they devils, spirits, angels or ‘God’.

The time is right. We need to proceed with a change in consciousness, to purify, liberate and acknowledge that which lies in each one of us: our most profound Essence.

Incidentally, from this point of view ufological phenomenon and contactism can be considered part of a much wider scenario of the esoteric sciences or of those disciplines that study the link between our inner and outer worlds. There is no real demarcation between our consciousness and the object perceived by it. In the evaluation of UFO phenomena, extraterrestrials and aliens, and certainly before we push ourselves to classify races and draw conclusions as to their ‘agendas’, we have to establish if these entities are connected to ‘alternative realities’.

The ufologist and classic contactee do not usually concern themselves with this.
Even less so the abductee[1], with good reason, if acting on good faith with interpretations of phenomena (because here we are only talking about interpretations) that insist on terrifying scenarios. They exclude – perhaps because they do not know – keys to reading that take into account vaster perspectives. For example the disciplines of trans-humanistic psychology, esoteric physics, the anthropology of the sacred and in the final analysis, reality and consciousness.

The UFO phenomenon seems to interact with the collective psyche and if the collective psyche ‘takes on’ certain forms, it might well take on those forms that make themselves available. If at a collective level we were to modify such a paradigm, we could verify if such phenomena assume different connotations just as physics theorizes on how phenomena behave according to the conditions of observation.

UFOs – the genuine manifestations – appear when they find the right psychic contents that will give shape to them, including solid form.
I know that it seems simplistic to reduce them to manifestations of consciousness but in the current context it helps if we consider other mechanisms from a higher level of observation.

For now, though, let’s limit ourselves and begin with the idea that we are talking about a Form which is given energy that is part of an aspect of reality we have yet to discover.

The UFO phenomena represents a window on the beyond and also encourages us to investigate just how much is alien inside of us or at least to recognize how tightly we are bound to what we have been taught to believe the world is all about.

Adopting a dualistic scheme (good-evil), reality assumes those self-same connotations. The forces of evil perceived as real and hostile and perhaps also materialized through UFO phenomena, could in reality be entities generated and nourished by us. They could be an effect of human behaviour that has lasted for millennia and not the historical cause of our status[2].

The awakening has to begin from inside of us. It is we who lend ourselves to games of illusion, deceit and pillage. There are many political, social, religious and cultural realities that tend to perpetuate what is a mechanism of energetic ‘vampirism’. This is certainly one of the causes of Evil and it has been generated by Mankind itself. Continuing to perceive reality in terms of a good-evil dualism results in modifying the structure of what is real. We are capable of creating all the hells and paradises that we want. If we leave behind the idea of sin, the devil, the messiah and the enemy or the sheep-shepherd-wolf paradigm and the need to be continually reassured and saved (concepts of the Judaic-Christian matrix that have distorted the values of the New Age itself), the phenomenon would probably change

A metaphysical hypothesis with regard to the UFO phenomenon has already been explored by Carl G. Jung. In fact the pioneer of psychology often concerned himself with the UFO phenomenon in his writings and in particular in his celebrated essay A Modern Myth: the things that one sees in the sky, interpreting them as unconscious psychic representations linked to collectively relevant events.
After Jung, the scientist Jacques Vallée, who worked as an astronomer and collaborator with NASA in the 1970’s took up the theme again but was fiercely opposed by the international ufological community. Its researchers were relentless in their desire to give the phenomenon – be it physical or psychic – a connotation of an interference that is somewhat ‘other’ in respect to our reality, preferring to place it on the physical rather than para-physical plane.

Nevertheless, in that same period, psychedelic experiences – the main interest of neuro-physicians, anthropologists, botanists and a plethora of ‘flower children’ (the roles often coincided!) - later brought to the attention of a wider public by Carlos Casteneda[3], seem to give serious credit to a far from simple interpretation of the question.

We should also not exclude the effect on reality a/o the psyche provoked by experiments with time and holographic technology, whether they be of this world or another.

Terence McKenna, in True Hallucinations, affirms with great optimism that: «… The UFO is a reflection of a future event that promises humanity’s eventual  mastery over time, space and matter.[…] I am even more convinced that the answer to all of these mysteries that shake our classic view of the world is to be understood by looking inside ourselves.[…] The paths of the heart lead to nearby universes, full of life and benevolent feelings towards humanity. »

I feel it is important not to underestimate the para-physical (and esoteric[4]) interpretation of a phenomenon, that is certainly and undeniably becoming more ‘frequent’, in the search for the key to its manifestation.

The universe is a product of our consciousness and a projection of our senses: we are at one with the Absolute which, for some reason, presents itself in the form of different frequencies of energy and consciousness. They relate to one another and create, in our case, the image that constitutes our plane of existence and which appears to be three-dimensional and oriented in uni-directional time.

According to some, we (and our lives) are Maya, illusion, as portrayed in the film ‘Matrix’; according to others however, doubt cannot be cast upon our existence or at least our form of existence, which is significant in itself.

Reality could be positioned somewhere in between: we find ourselves in an illusion (and it is always good to remember that) which is nevertheless our reality (so we cannot possibly deny it).

All things considered it is better to not be hasty in drawing conclusions about the UFO phenomenon and the nature of ‘alien’ interference or even pretend to have definitively understood its nature or intentions (or ‘agenda’). The origin of such interference is not yet clear and definitive, just as the nature of the reality that we define as ‘physical’ and ‘material’ is not yet clear, especially when related to the dynamics of our psyche. And as William Shakespeare so aptly says in Hamlet, “There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

We ourselves can be said to exist on a certain plane of existence, which is manifested and projected through dynamics that are not yet completely decoded. This ‘existing’ is nevertheless confined inside rather limited parameters and our current existence will in all probability result as being fictitious when compared in a broader sense.

Those wider parameters could relate to our nature which is likewise much more expansive than we realize and what is currently considered as supernatural or alien could, on another level, be the natural expression of reality and ourselves.

Our existence is played out in a sensorial circuit that we need to control and decrypt in order to give reality a chrism of truthfulness despite the fact that our senses are vibrating and testing that reality on the same frequencies. Although our senses give us the sensation of reality in all its physicality, it is only equivalent to its existential ‘plane’.

We are living at a historical moment in which culture and values are being re-examined and the same esoteric dimensions are being mixed together to reformulate a concept of reality: in this sense we are perhaps on the threshold of great changes.

We will go into the themes inherent in parallel worlds and the ‘separation of the planes’ in Appendix II. It is increasingly obvious that the certainties of our global village which have been consolidated up to now, be they material or spiritual, are disintegrating and re-organizing according to potential schemes that could take off in many different directions[5].


To describe their form I scatter rhymes no more,
 reader, for other expense binds me
so, that in this I cannot be lavish.
But read Ezekiel, for he depicts them
as he saw them come from the cold quarter
with wind, with cloud, with fire;

Dante Alighieri - Purgatorio Canto XXIX, 97-102




[1] ‘Abductions’ (or close encounters of the fourth kind, according to the classification of the astrophysicist Allen
Hynek), the presumed kidnappings of human beings by alien entities, represent one of the most interesting and controversial aspects of the ufological phenomena. The problem was brought to the attention of researchers at the beginning of the 1960’s when the American academic John Fuller published a book The Interrupted Journey on the now famous experience of the married couple Barney and Betty Hill. They were placed under regressive hypnosis by the noted Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon and re-evoked a kidnapping episode on the part of small humanoids who, having led them on board a flying saucer, subjected them to a series of medical examinations.
[2] We should perhaps ask ourselves if abduction phenomena (with their many testimonials, memories emerging under hypnosis and implants) are not in their turn a deceptive cover up – or the opportunity seized and exploited to a fine art to conceal experimentation and military strategies which are tragically terrestrial!
[3] See also the accounts of Terence McKenna and the more recent studies of Luis Eduardo Luna and Graham Hancock regarding the psycho-active properties of psilocybin and DMT (dimetyltryptamine) in relation to phenomena of consciousness. I would also like to mention an interesting observation regarding this by William Braden (the father of Gregg) who, talking about the ‘drug problem’, in his book ‘The Private Sea: LSD and the Search for God’ (1967) writes: ‘The real danger of acid is not that it will damage the brain, or that it will cause young people to drop out of society. We already live with drugs such as alcohol which produce effects like that. No, the real danger of acid is that some of its users claim that LSD puts them in contact with the illusory nature of the material world. The real danger of acid is that some freak will journey to the centre of things, discover the movie projector that is producing this illusion, and turn it off!’
[4]   Actually Crowley was amongst the first to experiment with peyote (which he took from Mexico to London) for magic purposes at the beginning of the last century!
[5] The position of the renowned academic and populariser Igor Sibaldi is also significant as regards this point – he talks about the nature of the Angel and Spirit Guides as ‘higher’ aspects of our own nature and of our trans-human psyche, individually and collectively. This perspective obliges us to re-examine the concept and practice of mediums (contactism or channelling if you want to call it that) and consider such phenomena as an instrument of transpersonal introspection. I will also take this opportunity to quote the following observation from Sibaldi: “The goal to aim for is a new dimension of existence in which each person dreams to set foot and finally be themselves, no longer prisoners of rigid, dangerous everyday schemes, no longer at the mercy of absurd prejudices and arid ways of thinking that stop them from being happy”.

The Threshold or the Beyond


The extension of the self towards Awareness passes through an intermediate dimension between material Form and the Real that we can define as the ‘Threshold’, the Beyond or if we prefer the ‘Other Side’. When we dream or travel on the astral planes or carry out explorations on the frontier, as in ‘between one life and another’, we find ourselves in this Half-way World. Just as entry into the material world of Form passes through the world of numbers, the way out passes through the Threshold: in the first case realty fragments, in the second it reassembles.

We can imagine the Threshold as:

·          Beyond our material world
·          As an interregnum between parallel worlds
·          Between the universe of Form and the Real.

We are talking about a hyperspace in which disincarnate souls arrive and withdraw: it is not ‘somewhere else’ but rather the extended projection of a growing being.

Our incarnate physical body is therefore only a dimensional fraction of the greater reality that constitutes the complex soul/body.

Following the logic of reincarnation, we can say that the Threshold hosts the passage of those packets of experiences known as Souls which, by means of one incarnation after another ideally complete themselves.



The sequence is usually thought of as: The Material World -The Other Side – The Absolute, or as Form-Threshold-Real. 

Nevertheless everything is also reflected inside each and every thing: so let’s not limit ourselves to the representation of transcendent directions, but complete it with that of the - perhaps more significant - immanent.

The Real is therefore that which is beyond but also inside.

Take a look at these illustrations of levels of reality – created at different times using different logic and a diagram taken from the book No Boundary by Ken Wilber that I warmly recommend you to read.

My diagram represents reality ‘from high to low’; however the two extremes touch each other, without solutions of continuity. The most reduced level of reality is relative or individual (quasi-real), it is the point of departure on the scale of significance that continuously extending, leads to the Absolute. A reality in which through every single thing – on the various scales of interaction/perception/consciousness – one rediscovers the All.

We have to remember that the All is not ‘somewhere else’ in respect to where we find ourselves. Everything is Here and Now. It is necessary to acquire a new level of Consciousness to recognize and participate in the All through every idea and  thing no matter how small or simple.






This diagram illustrates the development of reality according to three fundamental references: Being as the Subject, the Real as environment (object) and Consciousness intended as perception, knowledge and awareness applied to the various levels of possible reality. It is important to note that the distinction between Being, Real and Consciousness assumes a formal and non-substantial role.

The Absolute Being and Us




Being is infinitely transcendent and immanent: it is ‘beyond’ but it is also ‘every’ thing and ‘in every’ thing at every level (universe, planet or microbe). Recognizing the All in every single part is a question of awareness since the Absolute Being is always and everywhere.

We are now living in a perceptive convention, of space, matter, the past and the future. The priority of perception in respect to the phenomenon itself leads to the perceptive nature of that said reality, thus the phenomena of physics (but also that which we call ‘memory’ and ‘history’) are only real in proportion to our ability (and willingness) to conceive of them.

It is we ourselves – each one of us – that defines the frontiers and therefore the limits of reality or the line of reality that we decide to access. It is we who decide to activate what is ‘true’ with its laws and mechanisms, its past and future!

It is we who, here, right now, moment by moment, regardless of whether we are conscious of it or not, establish the sequence in which we stand, our subjective reality of reference: the pertinent quasi-real. It is we who establish in which suggestion of reality we live, individually and therefore collectively.

Consequently we establish what is true and what is not, what has been and what will be, along with all the mechanisms of reality that we want to reveal and the laws that we want to function. We set out what can exist and what cannot, what we want to discover and what cannot be discovered; in the present or in the past.

Can we heal with our vital energy? Perhaps yes, if we decide that it is so; or absolutely not, if we do not want to open up that line of possibility. Did Atlantis exist? Perhaps it did if we want to access a certain line of reality and then we find its archaeological remains; or not: and we do not find anything. Or for someone else Atlantis still exists. The mechanism is for the most part consensual but the nearer we get to the centre of our real identity the more this process of determining the truth becomes localized and personal. Someone sees and someone else does not, someone can and someone else cannot: and both are right! And perhaps the year 2012 – give or take a year – will be a watershed for different levels of humanity and reality. But no one will notice the change, each person having constructed their own level of subjective reality.

The real does not have a structure of its own that is distorted by our mental interpretations: all of our being has to agree on the determination of ideal reality; it has to be in tune with that part of ourselves and our faculties that we are unaware of and that lie latent.

If we do not move our barycentre towards our real identity, we are subject to the reality of our mind rather than the determiners of it: the reality of the mind which, if we are unable to do anything else, invents the stage, play and characters of a drama without purpose.

It is important to bear in mind that when we observe our universe ‘from the inside’ we can interpret each phenomenon only and exclusively in relation to how much it is part of our awareness and with the means and senses at our disposal.

Reality is much richer and more eloquent than we are used to settling for, just as our nature is more expansive and expressive. Material Form and its continued transformation as we perceive it in time (cause and effect) is nothing more than the three-dimensional reflection of the fractals of a complex interaction of phenomena, energies and forces operating in an extremely vast multi-polar and multi-dimensional universe.

God savours Himself. In the act of savouring himself, He savours all creatures, not because they are creatures but because they are God. God creates this entire world absolutely in this instant.
