0:17Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: So yesterday we began our exploration of the specific core patterns or forms in the
0:22divine alphabet of sacred geometry.
0:24We're going to continue that today, moving through the development of the circle
0:30patterns, which we started yesterday, which we saw developed into the vesica pattern
0:35and into the three sacred roots, and we're going to move it into a form known as the
0:41torus. And let me just make a couple of comments before we do that.
0:46One is I'm going to ask everyone to please hold their questions and comments until
0:51the end of the day when we do questions. This is for two purposes.
0:56One is so that we can make sure to get through the entire presentation today, and
1:01also because I've put together the slides in a particular format so that many of
1:06them link together in a precise way.
1:09And if we pause to go down side routes, we're going to lose some of those
1:14interconnections.
1:15So again, any questions or comments, please leave them for the final period of the
1:20day. The torus itself is this form that you see here.
1:24It's like the form of a sphere that's been opened up at the top and the bottom, and
1:30it allows energy to circulate through the center.
1:33The torus is a very important form because the energetic function of the torus,
1:38which has many, many applications, is that it allows energy to move through the
1:44center of a sphere and then circulate outwards.
1:47So that's one of the reasons behind this particular form of the harmonizer that Slim
1:52Spurling makes. It's a particular form of essentially the torus in metal.
1:57And so what a torus allows you to do in having this spherical form that is open
2:03through the center to allow energy to circulate in and around it is that you have a
2:08perfect circulation of energy that can keep the same geometry as the energy expands.
2:14If the energy increases in a toroidal circulation, the torus itself will get bigger.
2:19And if the energy decreases, then the circulation will become smaller, but you'll
2:25still have the perfect circulation form.
2:28And we have a beautiful model here that actually Slim Spurling managed to get one of
2:33for me. He had one made for himself.
2:36It comes from Germany, a particular guy there who worked it in metal.
2:40And essentially it's a form of a torus, and it has seven concentric tori inside of
2:46it. And actually if you play with it, you'll see that these toruses can actually pop out
2:52one after the other, smaller and smaller ones, that all when you put them in the
2:57center and you press them down, they'll all fit together as one form.
3:02And this shows a number of aspects of the torus where actually a torus form can
3:07energetically nest fractal tori inside of it.
3:10And this is something we'll see in just a moment in a variety of energetic
3:15applications. So do take a look at this if this topic interests you. Next slide.
3:20It's very common in metaphysical circles today that the torus is referred to as a
3:26tube torus.
3:27And one reason for that might be because if you get a tube and you were then to bend
3:32it around to connect both parts of the cylinder, one end to the other, it would give
3:38you the form of a torus.
3:40But actually I believe the term tube torus came about as a misunderstanding of the
3:45technical term for a torus, which is that in topology, in mathematical study, a
3:50torus is technically called a 2-torus.
3:53And it's called a 2-TWO-torus because it can be defined by two sets of coordinates,
3:59basically latitude and longitude, just like on the surface of the earth.
4:03So the correct term is 2-torus, but it's common to hear it referred to in
4:08metaphysical circles as a tube torus.
4:11And so one way to think about the internal structure of the torus is the form of a
4:16circle repeated time after time around the perimeter.
4:20But there's another circle too that makes up the outline that connects all of them.
4:25This is from Bucky Fuller's work from Synergetics, and he shows the way that this
4:31toroidal energy circulation form is a constant in nature.
4:35So in these type of cyclonic actions, and in the form of the apple, where the apple
4:40has the core go in at the bottom and at the top, and then has the opening in the
4:46center with the seed, it has a toroidal form to the apple and other fruit.
4:51The earth itself, with its magnetic fields, has this type of toroidal energy
4:56circulation, and so does the human energy body. Same thing for a magnet.
5:01So that this toroidal circulation is one of our core letters of the divine alphabet,
5:06because it, like all core letters, can be found at every scale of manifestation,
5:12from the subatomic up to galactic and in transcendental levels.
5:16This is from Scientific American, and it shows—and could I get the wall sconces
5:21turned off, please?
5:23It shows the computer simulation of cutting strips on the surface of a torus and
5:28then opening it up so you can get more of a sense of its structure.
5:32And so one aspect of the torus is that it comes down in this funnel shape—actually,
5:38it's connected in the form of a vortex—at the top and at the bottom.
5:43And this shows you then, if you move inside of the torus, that type of circulation
5:48that comes through the center.
5:50So you could be inside of it and see this energy coming from the bottom to the top,
5:56or top to bottom, and circulating around.
5:58So what this means is that one way to think of a torus is as this bagel or donut
6:04form—that's its physical form—but also in terms of the energy that moves through it,
6:10with the opening at the top and the bottom.
6:12And that gives you this funnel, cone shape, or a vortex form, coming from the top
6:18and coming from the bottom and meeting in the center.
6:21And that's a very important thing to understand about the torus.
6:26It's not just the bagel shape of the actual physical body, but it's allowing energy
6:31itself to then move through it in this double cone or double vortex form.
6:36This is then related to a foundation of the grail cup symbology in esoteric
6:41Christianity, where the grail cup has the same type of geometric shape.
6:46It's wide and open at the top and at the bottom, and then comes to a narrow center.
6:52And this is because the human energy field itself is a kind of a grail cup.
6:57We have the opening of the vortex above and the vortex below, circulating through
7:02the central channel of the body, and then circulating around us in this complete
7:08toroidal circulation.
7:09So, in the multiple meanings of the grail cup, it is the particular geometric form
7:14in thought forms in the mind of God and in the geometry of nature that allows us to
7:20bring in a divine essence and circulate it through an energetic field.
7:25So, as I mentioned, these core letters of the divine alphabet are connected to those
7:30shapes that have specific functions in nature, and that we find then at all scales
7:36of creation, from the subatomic up to great cosmic structures.
7:40And so, this is actually an electron-scanning photograph of a particular celestial
7:46body atomic particle, and what it shows is that it has the form of a torus.
7:51It's open in the center and circulates energy through it.
7:55The toroidal circulation occurs at very, very small nanoscales of creation.
8:00And there are particular models that explain atomic structure according to the
8:05vortex.
8:05In fact, the toroidal circulation, which is also connected to vortex energetics that
8:11we'll be describing later today, was a dominant model in physics up to the late
8:161800s to explain atomic phenomena.
8:19And even today, in esoteric circles, you will commonly see toroidal or vortex-based
8:24explanations of atomic phenomena.
8:26For instance, this is in one of the books by Patrick Flanagan, and he explains that
8:32the particular energetics of the electron have to do with these toroidal
8:37circulations coming one from below and one from above, whereas the proton has the
8:42same type of toroidal circulations, but now they're going the opposite direction, so
8:48that this polarity between positive and negative, between proton and electron, is
8:53both based on these types of toroidal circulations, but one is coming in with the
8:59electron and one is going out with the proton.
9:02In some of the work coming out today in superstring theory, if you go back to the
9:071920s, in the early days of quantum physics, there was work by Kaluza and Klein
9:13dealing with higher dimensional states and higher dimensional forms.
9:17And one of the things that they described at that time were models of higher
9:22dimensions that can explain certain phenomena that's observed in particle physics.
9:28Since that time, we've then moved today to string theory and things of that kind,
9:33and there's a very good book called The Elegant Universe by Brian Green, that I know
9:39some of you have read, and has these illustrations of some aspects of string theory.
9:45And that is, they work with this grid type of model to explain the structure of
9:50space, and every one of these grids within grids within grids is a huge
9:55magnification of substructure of matter.
9:57So by the time you've come to the magnification here, you notice that in this grid
10:03it has all these little loops in it.
10:05And it shows here what those loops are, that in one aspect of string theory, it
10:11talks about the way that in these nodal points of this matrix of subatomic matter
10:16that makes up our world, there are two extra dimensions curled up in the form of a
10:22torus at these nodal points of the matrix in very, very small nanoscales of
10:27creation. And so to explain the way that we can have hidden dimensions within atomic
10:32structure, they use the form of the torus to explain it.
10:36In fact, there's a lot of math and a lot of deeper aspects of academic geometry that
10:42explain the use of the torus in advanced physics, but it is definitely an accepted
10:47model in much of physics today to explain particularly concepts of higher
10:52dimensional activities.
10:54Along this line, there was a book published, I believe about the early 1970s, called
10:59The Reflexive Universe.
11:01And in The Reflexive Universe, it was the first discussion that I ever saw of the
11:06fact that there is a particular mathematical relationship between a fourth
11:11dimensional sphere and a third dimensional form of a torus.
11:15That essentially, if you look at some of the mathematics, which are too complex to
11:21get into here, between the form of a torus here in the physical world and a
11:26mathematical model of a higher dimensional sphere, then they have a very close
11:31connection.
11:32So one way that it can be conceived of is that a torus is a kind of manifestation in
11:38the physical world of a sphere in higher dimensions.
11:41So many different aspects to the significance of the torus. Very important form.
11:46So in addition to its activity at the subatomic scale, we also find it at our normal
11:52lived scale of experience.
11:54This illustration is from a book by Arthur Winfrey that's called When Time Breaks
11:59Down. And the subtitle of this book is A Study of Cardiac Arrhythmia.
12:04So he's looking at particular heart problems and the way that this is connected to
12:09the way that the heart fires electrically.
12:12And he's studying the structure of the energy of the heart that with the firing of
12:18the heart, with this electrical pulsation to make the heart pulse, it's actually
12:23related to the form of a torus within a torus within a torus within a torus.
12:28Every time the heart fires, it creates an energetic form of concentric nested toroi.
12:34And this is a close-up of what would be the inside of this.
12:38And so in this fairly technical discussion of cardiac arrhythmia, they say that we
12:43have a clear model of exactly how this electrical firing of the heart operates as
12:49these concentric toroi.
12:50And if the electrical circuit begins to break down, so does the geometry of the
12:56concentric torus within a torus within a torus.
12:59So this brings us back to concepts that we talked about before and common to
13:04biogeometry, which is that a distortion in the correct geometry of an energetic
13:09circulation will lead to a diminishing of the function that that shape is supposed
13:15to provide.
13:16And so in other words, with the electrical firing of the heart beginning to
13:21malfunction, these nested toruses that are created energetically in the space.
13:26And again, this is not metaphysical work. This is mainstream medical science.
13:31The form of that energetic wave of the torus within a torus also begins to break
13:36down and its geometry begins to become irregular.
13:40There is a wonderful body of work that's almost unknown in this country and very
13:45hard to get any information on by a fellow who is now dead named Gernot Grefa and
13:51his partner, a woman who's still alive and still at work in Austria named Maria
13:56Felsenreich.
13:57And to make a long story short, Gernot Grefa and Maria Felsenreich did work in
14:02examining the energetic nets that nature uses to digest various types of energies.
14:08What this means is that there are energetic nets in nature that is used for nature
14:13to break down certain types of energies, including microwave energies, nuclear
14:18radiation, electromagnetic energy, things of that kind.
14:22And what they were finding is that our modern technology is overwhelming the
14:27digestion process of nature to be able to handle these energies.
14:31And so they made these amazing models of the interconnected nets of energy that
14:37nature uses.
14:38And they were actually doing this at the time of the Chernobyl disaster.
14:42And they were examining the destruction of forests, particularly in Germany, but
14:48throughout Europe.
14:49And so what they found at that time is that when the radiation wave from Chernobyl
14:55came over Europe, that these energetic nets they were just beginning to identify
15:00were collapsing from the overdose of radiation.
15:03And so they had to quickly scramble to try to figure out how is nature creating
15:08these effects and how can we support that natural digestion process of nature to
15:14break down this excess of toxic energy far beyond the usual background radiation
15:19that it's used to absorbing.
15:21And so it's a fascinating body of work in and of itself.
15:25And I only know about it because when I lived in Australia, I connected to a group
15:30there that worked with Maria Felsenreich.
15:33And we're still working to try to get her to come to the U.S. to offer more of their
15:39work.
15:39But one of the things that I got in a document from them was this, that one of the
15:45things that Maria Felsenreich and Gernot Graefer developed is that they found that
15:50particular minerals are used by nature to create vibratory states that nature uses
15:56to create healthy energetics.
15:58So this is something that's known to the Acres USA people and to various groups that
16:03work in holistic forms of agriculture, that both for the earth and for the human
16:09being, there are particular minerals, including trace minerals, that are vital to
16:14have available because those minerals provide a particular vibratory essence that
16:20provides frequency information that is desperately needed by all living beings,
16:25whether it's the earth itself or whether it is the human body.
16:29And so they found that if they put the particular minerals that were needed in
16:34particular geometric forms, particularly the form of an egg shape, and I'll explain
16:40more about the egg shape later on today, that that would provide the frequency
16:45information.
16:46And one way that they would then get that more into the earth's own energetic sphere
16:52is by creating a form of a compost heap that was based on the form of a torus.
16:57And so what you see is the compost heap rather than having the normal heaped form,
17:02it would actually be open in the center.
17:05And they would then put inside of it a variety of things, some of the natural humus
17:11and things from the natural ecosystem in that area.
17:14They would also use grape seed remains because grape seed remains have a very
17:19interesting energetic quality to them that is extremely beneficial to the
17:24environment.
17:25And they would make these particular forms in egg shapes or bullet shapes for
17:30different purposes out of these cast minerals.
17:33The basic idea is that by putting these particular energetic substances inside the
17:39open toroidal compost heap, those of you that have worked with compost know that a
17:44compost heap is a living energetic form.
17:47And as it picks up energy, it gets very hot.
17:50It builds up tremendous internal heat and the energy sphere around it increases.
17:55By putting it in the form of a torus, then that energy circulation I mentioned a
18:01moment ago, where if it starts out with an energy circulation over let's say 20
18:06feet, and it then starts to pick up heat and pick up energy, it will then circulate
18:12over 50 feet, 100 feet, then over a mile, over 10 miles, over a larger and larger
18:17area with the perfect circulation that the torus provides.
18:21So a very interesting application here of using the energetics of the torus as the
18:26compost heap with the materials inside of it so that the frequency information of
18:32what's inside of it gets broadcast over a larger area.
18:36And by the same token, with what SLIM does with the different sizes of the
18:41harmonizers, they will often commonly put various sound frequencies into it to
18:46radiate those sound frequencies in a toroidal circulation over a large area.
18:51Or in places where there are a lot of sickness and viral infections, things of that
18:56kind, they will put various types of antiviral materials actually inside the form of
19:02the harmonizer to spread the vibratory information of the antiviral through the
19:07area.
19:08So again, if we understand the function of the torus, we can understand this type of
19:13work.
19:14Now we also have these types of energetic circulations naturally in the human energy
19:19body.
19:20So one model of this is that if we do, let's say, healing with the palm of the hand,
19:25there can be a toroidal energy circulation coming through the hand and constantly
19:31circulating.
19:32And this is connected to the way that we can bring in cosmic universal energy rather
19:37than just using our own energy to create a healing energetic for a particular
19:43person, place or thing.
19:44And so with this illustration, we see that there's a particular connection between
19:50the overall energetic field of the earth, which has a toroidal circulation, and the
19:55form of the human energy field, which also has this toroidal circulation.
20:00As I mentioned before, the human energy field is itself a kind of a grail cup, open
20:06like a cup at the top and at the bottom, bringing in the earth energy and the cosmic
20:11energy. And this can circulate energy from below to above and above to below.
20:16Later today, we'll do a little bit of work with this.
20:20We'll do a short energetic practice where we'll work on this energetic circulation
20:26in the human energy field.
20:27Then at greater scales out in the cosmos, because again remember that these core
20:33letters of the divine alphabet become active forms from the subatomic up to great
20:38cosmic scales, we find the torus as one aspect of what's described in modern physics
20:44theory as the formation of a black hole.
20:47The idea is that gravity increases at a particular location until the actual
20:52flexible substance of space-time, the net of space-time described by Einstein and
20:57accepted in modern physics, the gravity then begins to pull down the net of
21:02space-time itself, as you see here. And then at a particular point, it breaks.
21:07And the question is then for modern physics, when the net of space-time breaks from
21:13excess gravity at the black hole, where does it go to?
21:17And so there are different theories in physics about this.
21:21One is that it creates what is commonly termed in both physics and in science
21:26fiction movies, a wormhole, so that that wormhole can connect to some other place in
21:31that same physical universe.
21:33Or it can open up and create this toroidal circulation and connect to some other
21:39place, another space-time matrix, another universe.
21:42There are many physics models that describe these possibilities.
21:46And this is one illustration from Scientific American of this almost spherical form
21:52of the space-time net and then of gravity pulling in and creating this black hole.
21:57And the question is then, well, where are black holes?
22:01It's still considered to be a theory, although there's more and more evidence for
22:07it. And so in some of the scientific texts, they talk about some of the most likely
22:12candidates for black holes in space. There's one in Cygnus the swan.
22:17That's a very likely candidate.
22:19One of the best-known candidates is actually in the constellation of Scorpio.
22:24And this is an image of it here.
22:26One of the interesting connections of this is that if you read old esoteric works,
22:32there's often a mention of the fact that there's a reason why the constellation of
22:37Scorpio is related to the form of the scorpion, the lower octave of the energetic,
22:43of the netter function of the constellation of Scorpio is connected to the scorpion,
22:48which has to do with the function of life and death and the sting in the tail of the
22:54scorpion.
22:55The higher resonance of the sign of Scorpio is the eagle, as we described with John
23:00the Eagle in Esoteric Christianity the other day.
23:03One of the things that you'll find, for instance, in the work of Rudolf Steiner and
23:09similar statements in some other old esoteric text is that it's within Scorpio that
23:15there is a particular location where life is originated and brought into being in
23:20our particular universe and a place where life is snuffed out and killed within our
23:26particular local space-time.
23:28And so interestingly enough, it's only been in recent days that they've identified
23:33the most likely candidate for a black hole that pulls things out of existence within
23:39the constellation of Scorpio.
23:41I mentioned to you the other day this book by Itzhak Bentov called A Brief Tour of
23:46Higher Consciousness.
23:48And another one of the diagrams in that book is of this idea that the black hole has
23:53to come out somewhere.
23:55According to these conservation laws of energy that we have in physics, energy can
24:00never be lost, it can only be converted.
24:03So what happens to everything that disappears in the black hole?
24:07And so the idea there is that the black hole opens up to a white hole.
24:12The black hole is the end of time, the white hole is the beginning of time.
24:17And the two could be connected in a circulation form.
24:21And what could that circulation form be?
24:23It would be the circulation form of a torus.
24:26So moving through that center point of the torus is the opening of the white hole,
24:32it circulates around and comes back to the center point to disappear in the black
24:37hole. And as you see here, the same idea is expressed.
24:41This is also from the work A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness.
24:45And it might be that the one that I just showed you a second ago comes from Bentov's
24:51other work. Are you sure it's Brief Tour? Okay.
24:54There is some similar material in his other book which is Stalking the Wild
24:59Pendulum.
25:00So from this particular text, A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness, he also has a
25:05very interesting model related to the one that we saw yesterday, where in his
25:10visions he saw that as he pulled his awareness and attention in meditation far
25:16outside of our local universe and level of creation to see the whole sphere of
25:21creation, he saw these rotating forms that turned out to be connected to geometric
25:26forms similar to the Sanskrit alphabet.
25:29So in this book, he also describes seeing another particular structure before he got
25:35that far out, an intermediary level of structure.
25:38And what he says is that he saw the Hebrew letters, the classical description in the
25:44Jewish Kabbalah of the Hebrew letters as letters of flame.
25:47He saw these Hebrew flame letters out in space glowing luminously.
25:52And what he then found is that these letters were also connected to other
25:57structures.
25:58So that he saw that our universe was part of a link of seven on a chain that then
26:03moves up to the next loop of seven and the next loop of seven and the next loop of
26:09seven, so seven by seven in a particular helix, then going up to the top point above
26:14the seven times seven is 49.
26:16So then at the place that would be the place of 50, he then found the Hebrew flame
26:22letter of the Aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
26:26An interesting thing about this is that the number 50 is a holy letter in the Jewish
26:31Kabbalah, that 50 is the Jubilee year. It is the year where all debts are forgiven.
26:37It is the end of a cycle.
26:39And so, interestingly, he saw this particular seven by seven type of helix structure
26:44and there have been similar descriptions of this type of seven by seven helix by
26:50other esotericists in other groups, including I've seen it with Greek Christian
26:55hermetic teachers.
26:56Now, he then saw that this was actually part of a larger structure.
27:01So in the seven by seven helix with the flame letter at the top, it then connected
27:06actually in the form of a torus.
27:08And there was at the top of this that then circulated down and at the base of it was
27:14the base of creation, which was also connected to certain Hebrew letters, but also
27:20to the form of a swastika. Now, the thing is that Itzhak Bentov is Jewish.
27:24So, first of all, he's seeing the Hebrew flame letters.
27:28And so, he's a little bit concerned that maybe I'm just projecting this because I'm
27:34Jewish, I grew up in this tradition, am I just projecting out these Hebrew flame
27:39letters?
27:40And so, he went to his spiritual advisor, who I mentioned yesterday, who was an
27:45Irish cop in New York City, and said to him, you know, I'm doing this practice and
27:51I'm seeing out in cosmic space the Hebrew flame letters and these structures.
27:56He says, you know, am I just making all this up because of my background?
28:01And the Irish cop just kind of looked at him and shook his head and said, now we all
28:06see that.
28:07So, the next thing he became concerned with was the fact that he was perceiving the
28:12swastika at the base of the structure, because definitely that's something that he
28:18didn't want to see and didn't expect to see.
28:21But he came to understand that the use of the swastika and connected to Nazi Germany
28:27is only a later corruption of a sign that had no negative connotation to begin with.
28:32The swastika is an ancient symbol that you find all throughout the classical
28:37Hindu-Indian-Vedic tradition, and it has to do with this wheel, the chakra of
28:43creation.
28:43In fact, it's connected to the base chakra, the four-petal lotus, with the four arms
28:49of the swastika. And the swastika, one way, brings things into creation.
28:54The other way around takes it out of creation.
28:57And it's only a later modification that the Germans used it.
29:01But originally, it had no negative connotation.
29:04So, he found that in this particular structure.
29:07Then when he saw that within a larger context, he saw that there are multiple
29:12structures like this.
29:14And so there is a toroidal sphere after toroidal sphere, all close-packed together,
29:19one sphere after another.
29:21So again, it's a fascinating model for the structure of higher worlds from Mitzach
29:27Bentov's perspective.
29:28So we have the concept here of space and time also being related to the circulation
29:34within the Taurus.
29:35We mentioned that it's really a circle around a circle that makes up a Taurus.
29:40And so in some texts, this is from a book called The Fourth Dimension by Rudy
29:45Rucker, is the idea that one of the circles is connected to space and the other one
29:51is connected to time.
29:52And then he has here in the very center of the toroidal circulation, he has I am, or
29:58the self-identity.
29:59I put this in because I've actually had some conversations with Dr. Ibrahim Karim,
30:05which have to do with the way that in advanced biogeometry, the form that we call
30:10the energy key in the foundation level of biogeometry, and the energy key is
30:15basically like an arrow that's going from the origin of energy to the direction that
30:21energy is going. And then it circulates energy to both sides.
30:25Like if you draw a stick through water, and you have a line of the energy where the
30:30stick has gone through the water, and then the water to the right circulates
30:36clockwise and the water to the left circulates counterclockwise.
30:40We use that as an idea to analyze spaces and energetic circulations in foundation
30:45level biogeometry.
30:47In advanced level biogeometry, that two-dimensional form becomes a three-dimensional
30:52Taurus.
30:53So the way that the energy is actually circulating is as a pure toroidal structure.
30:58Dr. Karim has described the different ways that this energy key works with its
31:04energy circulations to both sides, and same thing with the Taurus, is that it has
31:09all of the qualities of nature and energy within different parts of its structure.
31:14So he's talked about the way that the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching could be modeled
31:20on the surface of a Taurus, for example.
31:23But what I was discussing with him privately had to do with the elaboration of some
31:28ideas that we introduce in foundation level biogeometry related to the idea that
31:34there's something called stacked time.
31:36The idea of stacked time that we discussed on the final day of the biogeometry
31:41training is that the Egyptians work with the concept of where time is like a stack,
31:47and you can move your attention to anywhere in the stack that you choose to.
31:52It's also possible at the advanced level to create energetic effects at any place in
31:58the stack of time that you care to.
32:00And so in discussing that further with him, he made a connection in one of our
32:05conversations when I was with him in Britain, and he said that if you look at the
32:11form of the Taurus that we're using as our full energy key, if you see yourself as
32:16being in the center of the Taurus, then you have the past and the future arrayed
32:22behind you and in front of you.
32:24And by moving energy and attention to the correct place on the Taurus that you are
32:29in the center of, you can connect to those points in the past and the future.
32:35So this is an interesting idea to think about.
32:38Now in topology, there's a lot of studies of the Taurus because it's so recognized
32:43even in physics as a prime energy circulation form.
32:47And so there's a way to make the Taurus out of the base of a square.
32:51So if we had a square, we would just fold it up to become a cylinder and then
32:56connect the two ends together, and that gives us a Taurus.
33:00But interestingly enough, in topology, they describe another structure that's like a
33:06double Taurus, and that's actually formed out of an octagon, an eight-sided
33:11structure, which I find interesting because in biogeometry, we approach the form of
33:17the octagon or octagram, an eight-pointed star or an eight-sided enclosure, as a
33:22form connected to virtual rotation because you can make it with one square rotated
33:27on another square.
33:29And if you test the energy of it, that form of the octagon or octagram will give you
33:34a BG3 energy because of that circulation that's implied on it.
33:39So this form of the eight-sided enclosure, and again, often used in sacred
33:43architecture for the Dome of the Rock, the temples of the Templars, etc., if you
33:49fold that up together in this particular sequence, it gives you the form of a double
33:55Taurus.
33:55So it's interesting that we normally would never think that this is this, but in
34:00mathematical topology, this is exactly identical to this. They're the same thing.
34:06It's just a matter of how it folds together.
34:09And if you go into the deeper levels then of topology, they have particular models
34:14for higher worlds.
34:16And in a very interesting book by Jeffrey Weeks called The Shape of Space, which is
34:21also listed in your resource guide, it's quite hard to find, but Jeffrey Weeks
34:26writes a lot of articles for Scientific American dealing with topology and higher
34:32concepts.
34:32He shows the way that, without going into all the details, that the formation of the
34:38world through the Big Bang can create this double toroidal structure.
34:43And I won't go further into it at the moment.
34:46We don't do that much at this level with the double Taurus, but know that it exists
34:51and is connected to the form of the octagon.
34:54So the overall idea that I want you to take away dealing with the Taurus is that it
35:00is the sphere open to the top and the bottom, so energy can circulate through the
35:05center, and no matter how much energy is used in the system, it keeps the same
35:11perfect energy circulation form. And we find this all through nature.
35:15And one of the classical models of the Taurus in living dynamic activity is a smoke
35:21ring.
35:21If you blow a smoke ring, you'll see that it's constantly turning itself inside out
35:27as it's circulating and moving. So that's our form of the Taurus. Next slide.
35:32So we've gone from dealing with aspects of the circle and the sphere, and the Taurus
35:38was the last step of that for us, with the sphere opening up top and bottom to
35:43circulate energy.
35:44But one of the keys of this is that we also saw that what that allows with the form
35:50of the Taurus itself is a cone coming in the top and at the bottom.
35:54Now, that cone can then be a vortex.
35:56So our next letters of the divine alphabet have to do with the spiral and the
36:02vortex, whereas the form of the pure sphere is nature's primal form to contain
36:07energy and consciousness, the form of the spiral and vortex is nature's primal form
36:12to circulate energy and information, also to circulate energy and consciousness.
36:18So, with this being the primal form with which we transmit energy and information,
36:23let's go into some aspects of this particular mystery.
36:27First thing we need to look at is a little bit of terminology.
36:31And the term spiral refers to what everybody thinks of as a spiral, with these types
36:37of moving into the center or moving out of the center spiral movements.
36:42The helix is if you take a spiral and you move it into three dimensions, so that it
36:47becomes like that seven-by-seven ladder that we saw in the Itzhak Bentov
36:52illustration. So this is the basic form of a helix.
36:56Again, it's a spiral moved out in a three-dimensional line.
36:59And it's very common to use the form of the helix in things like biological and
37:05chemical studies.
37:06Linus Pauling identified the form of many proteins being what he called an alpha
37:11helix.
37:12And so, in many of these scientific studies, they use the form of the helix to
37:17describe all types of basic structures.
37:20Then most people are familiar with the idea of a double helix.
37:24It's two of these form right next to each other that allows you to connect them like
37:29two rungs of a ladder together.
37:32And that's where we connect the base pairs in DNA and the classical double helix
37:37form of DNA.
37:38The caduceus is these counter-winding helix forms in a way where they are perfectly
37:43counter-winding. They come into the center together. They cross.
37:48They go out together and then come back and cross.
37:51And they do it around a central pole.
37:53So with the caduceus, you have the two helices, but they are perfectly
37:58cross-referencing each other.
38:00Instead of being a ladder, they become a kind of a crossing.
38:04And they're always around the central pole, like we see with the classic medical
38:10insignia, and also in this particular painting here.
38:13So that's the caduceus form, and remember it by its central column.
38:18It's also that form, of course, that you see in some depictions from the Himalayan
38:23tradition of the central axis of the human energy body and then the caduceus of the
38:29energies of the Ida and Pingala channels around the Shashumna channel that's then
38:34circulating in a caduceus and crossing at particular points along the core energy of
38:40the body.
38:40Then the vortex is this three-dimensional form that very powerfully moves energy
38:46from one location to another, and it's a pure solid form like so.
38:50And it tends to form very readily in all types of dynamic medium, such as in, when
38:56we talk about ki, chi, prana, or the ether, many etheric forms are based on the form
39:01of the vortex, including the chakras in the body.
39:05And also we see this in dynamic mediums in the physical world, such as in air and in
39:10water, vortex is a very common form, and it's a very important form.
39:15Now we see these forms like the counter-rotating spirals because they have a
39:20polarity aspect to them.
39:22A spiral can spiral one direction or the other direction, and we see forms like the
39:27counter-rotating spirals in many sacred sites all over the world.
39:32We could easily spend an hour with my just showing you slides of counter-rotating
39:37spirals in sacred context in different traditions, but I'll just give you one
39:42example here, which is the spirals on the stone leading to the Newgrange Temple in
39:48Ireland.
39:48We mentioned before the work of chimatics, and this chimatics work is the one that
39:54we mentioned is related to the way that sound vibrations can create form, and they
39:59can animate matter to take different geometric shapes or particular movements.
40:05So one aspect that you will see in either the book on chimatics that we have out
40:10here or in the DVDs available of the chimatics experiments in motion is that with a
40:15particular sound frequency, the powder wouldn't just shape into a particular mandala
40:21or matrix of geometry, but rather it would form into the circular or spherical form,
40:27and it would start rotating dynamically.
40:29It'd have this spiral rotation, so when you see it on the DVD, it's constantly
40:35swirling around itself from the effect of the sound rotation.
40:39We mentioned before that all of the core letters of the divine alphabet of sacred
40:44geometry exist at all scales of creation from the sum atomic up to the great cosmic
40:50and the transcendental.
40:51So one of the classical models dealing with atomic structure that I mentioned before
40:57sees atomic structure as being based on vortex circulations.
41:01Again, this was the dominant model in physics until the late 1800s, and so the basic
41:07concept here is that the energy circulations and vibrations of the subatomic
41:12particles within an atom, if we look at something that we think of as solid matter,
41:17like the chair that you're sitting in or the desk in front of you, we know according
41:23to modern physics that it's 99.99 dot dot dot plus empty space.
41:27It's mostly empty space, only small constituents of energetic substance that are the
41:33actual neutrons, protons, electrons, but the vibratory rates give you the illusion
41:39of it being something solid.
41:40And so within what appears to be solid structure are all of these atoms, and the
41:46particles are in a constant circulation, which is a vortex of energy.
41:50And so this is the vortex model of the atom, again, which there are many references
41:56to, particularly in older scientific text.
41:59There is a very interesting model coming from the work of Walter Russell, which
42:04shows the periodic table of elements, which we normally see as this type of
42:09rectangular table with different rows of the different 92 elements that make up our
42:15natural world set up in this rectangle.
42:17And according to the visions of Walter Russell and his work, which has now been
42:23taken further and is part of the material that's contained in the book that I
42:28referred you to yesterday, called Minerals for the Genetic Code, which is a
42:33fantastic book and has many practical applications.
42:36So Minerals for the Genetic Code and the work of Walter Russell deals with this idea
42:42of the periodic table of elements actually being based on this form of the spiral,
42:48and particular constants show up.
42:50In fact, this anchor, central line, whether you project it as a spiral this way or
42:55you project it as a spiral this way, the ones that hold the nodal points along the
43:01central line are, in Russell's model, the noble gases.
43:04Noble gases are called noble gases because they're noble, they stand aside from
43:10other things, they stand to isolate themselves.
43:13And noble gases have a very interesting quality to them.
43:17For those of you that know about the energetic work of Royal Reif and some other
43:22energy and healing experimenters of the last century, you'll be familiar with the
43:28way that they started running particular frequencies of energy through noble gas
43:33tubes.
43:33So that in the work of Likovsky, the work of Royal Reif, etc., instead of just
43:39putting a raw electromagnetic frequency into the human body, which the human body
43:44doesn't tolerate so well, it runs the frequency through the noble gas.
43:49The noble gas attaches to the human energetic field much better than the raw
43:54frequency does.
43:55And so we find many applications of people using Reif-type technology, where the
44:00frequency is put into an argon gas tube or varieties of other noble gases.
44:05This is from an experiment done in Sydney University in Australia in 1986.
44:10And what they found in that experiment is that they put a particle of carbon on a
44:16sensitive emulsion plate.
44:17And what they saw is that around the particle of carbon was an invisible spiral
44:23field of energy, which then manifested on the sensitive emulsion film that was on
44:28the plate.
44:29And so it demonstrated that a lot of old occult ideas about the spiral and vortex
44:34fields of energy around living matter are actually true.
44:38And so it was a very important demonstration of this idea.
44:42So if every particle of carbon contains a spiral circuit of energy, what then do we
44:48have in the energies around carbon-based life forms?
44:51Because most life on earth is a carbon-based life form, including every human being.
44:57If every particle of our body has a spiral field, what does that say about the
45:02importance of the spiral and vortex circulations for our energetic construction?
45:07Now, we find something similar to this in studies of chemical substance.
45:12So whether you look at physics, biology or chemistry, you keep coming up with these
45:18constants. So this is from work in chemistry.
45:21It's got a rather difficult name for this reaction, although you see it mentioned in
45:26virtually every basic chemistry textbook.
45:29It's named after two Russians that developed it.
45:32It's called the Belosov-Zhabotinsky reaction.
45:35And so sometimes it's just called a BZ reaction because that's a bit of a mouthful.
45:41But that particular BZ reaction is when you put a chemical substance into some other
45:47liquid base, and very commonly you will see it then break up into two
45:51counter-rotating spirals. And these are photographs of that reaction.
45:56So this is a very common thing, the breaking up into two counter-rotating spirals as
46:02constituent energies.
46:03That's like going back to its pure polarity basis in matter that we described
46:08yesterday with the I Ching.
46:10And we have similar phenomena when we break up something like a photon in a cloud
46:15chamber in high energy particle physics.
46:18Because when you break up that photon in the cloud chamber, and you break it up in
46:24the magnetic field, then the energies will always then spiral to the left and to the
46:29right in counter-rotating spirals.
46:32Partly because of the effect of the magnetic fields themselves, which are
46:37counter-rotating.
46:38Then if we take a look in human structure itself, we look at the forms that actually
46:43construct every feeling that you have physiologically in the body.
46:48These are the sense corpuscles and the nerve endings. This one responds to cold.
46:53This one responds to warmth. This responds to touch. This responds to pressure.
46:58This responds to pain. And these have particular interactions.
47:03That's why if you go to the dentist and you have a good dentist, when he's going to
47:08put the needle with the Novocaine into your jaw, he's going to pinch the tissue.
47:14Because the feeling of it being pinched will eliminate your ability to feel the
47:19needle going into the flesh.
47:21So the interesting thing about it for our purposes right now is that the particular
47:26structure that actually allows you to feel touch, your capacity to feel human touch
47:32is based on this form of the spiral that it's constructed on.
47:36And this actually sows you within human nerve fiber this type of spiral
47:41construction.
47:42One of the classic ways to study spiral and particularly vortex energies is by
47:47studying the forms of seashells, with the understanding being that the seashell
47:52gives you a pure vision in physical matter of the energy circulations of the vortex.
47:58So this is a beautiful example of it.
48:00There's been a lot of work in this field of spiral and vortex energy circulations
48:06coming from German scientists originally inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner.
48:11And there's a fellow named Theodor Svenck who wrote a couple of books about this.
48:17And in his book Sensitive Chaos, Svenck's Sensitive Chaos has a lot of illustrations
48:22like this of finding all of these vortex and spiral movements in nature.
48:27And this beautiful cutaway from that book of a shell shows you the movement of a
48:33vortex going into a vortex, into a vortex, into a vortex, into a vortex.
48:38It's nested one vortex inside another.
48:40What we're going to see later is that this form of one vortex inside of another is
48:46an extremely important energetic form that also occurs transcendentally.
48:50And it's referred to in a lot of classical spiritual works.
48:54We'll look at that just a little bit later.
48:57It also occurs in nature, the vortex inside a vortex structure.
49:02This is from a particular work by a man named Chris Illert.
49:06And we have in the other room, or at least we did, a few copies of a book that he
49:11wrote that quickly went out of print in Australia.
49:14And then I and a friend of mine who was actually a producer on the old Beyond 2000
49:20Science program, Chris Illert had kind of disappeared and we managed to find him
49:25living outside of Sydney, Australia and visited him and he allowed us to put his
49:31book that's called Alchemy Today back into print.
49:34So we still make available copies of that book.
49:37And that particular book, which we'll talk about more when we deal with platonic
49:42solids, has to do with the platonic solid basis of everything in creation.
49:47But he has another book that was his study, because Chris Illert is an Australian
49:53mathematician, of the structures inside of seashells and other natural phenomena.
49:58And I took this from it.
50:00He examined what he called Möbius elastic conoids of the first and second kind.
50:05The basic idea of this is that he had found shells from different time periods,
50:11shells that are dated back to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years ago,
50:16and shells that are present today.
50:19And he showed that the different shells at different times actually show different
50:24stages of a complete moving morphological pattern of the vortex.
50:28So that at different time periods, there seem to have been different vortex energies
50:34present on the earth being crystallized into shell shapes.
50:38It's a really fascinating body of work.
50:41But this is the general progression that it goes through, as it essentially gets
50:46pressure from the top and it turns itself inside out.
50:49This is our inversion principle.
50:52And so there's a lot of basis to this, but it's something that you see actually
50:57modeled in the shell remains, because that's our identification of actual vortex
51:02energies and principles.
51:04Also in another one of his books, one on embryogenesis, he had this diagram where he
51:10studied the mathematical and geometric structure of living beings in the womb.
51:15And he showed something called the clock spring, where these beings tend to curl up
51:20like this in the womb. This is a human being at a very early stage of development.
51:26This is a chick.
51:27And he shows that something that he called the clock spring is a spiral winding that
51:33then unwinds in a particular geometric harmonic pattern.
51:36That's a foundation of the energetics of the embryo in the womb.
51:41In Schwenk's book on sensitive chaos, he also shows the way that the human heart
51:46itself is based on these spiral windings in the tissue.
51:50There are these multiple spiral windings.
51:53If you were to take a human heart and dissect it, you would see that.
51:57In fact, these type of spiral windings are all through the human bone and tissue
52:03structure.
52:03And we also see that, as I said, with the bones, that the bones in the body are
52:09given great added strength and a bit of flexibility by having these twists in them.
52:14So the bones in the body are not actually purely straight.
52:18They have these exquisite twists in them that actually add great dynamic strength to
52:24the bone.
52:24And then we see the type of vortex helix spiral forms that come on the horns of
52:30animals.
52:30In fact, one reason why the horns have this spiral vortex form is to connect to
52:36particular types of cosmic energies.
52:38This is described particularly in biodynamic agriculture, where they use different
52:44horn forms in agriculture to help work in bringing dynamic energies into the Earth
52:49itself. Do we know if lunch is here?
52:51Okay, we'll do a few more and then we're going to go to lunch.
52:56Very important aspect of this is the way that these energies work in natural
53:01structures on the Earth, because that can actually be applied for certain purposes
53:06that we'll talk about a bit later. So we have the pure vortex form forming in water.
53:12And in books, again, like Sensitive Chaos by Sphinx, they do an analysis that when
53:17the vortex forms in water, the energy will circulate around it in particular types
53:23of patterns.
53:24There's all types of geometries around geometries, but these are dancing patterns of
53:29energy spirals that occur in these natural structures.
53:33So what you did today with Jane is actually a very important practice.
53:38It has an artistic aspect where you made all of these lines around the central
53:43circular form, and they made this type of a matrix that I know she made the
53:48connection for you to the pattern from the Jewish Kabbalah of the net of the 22
53:53letters of the Hebrew alphabet around the periphery forming that net of creation
53:59inside of it.
54:00So in the field of projective geometry, which is something that, to be honest, most
54:05people in sacred geometry circles in the West don't do anything with and most don't
54:11know anything about, projective geometry is very important because it has to do with
54:16the connection between the periphery and the center.
54:20And it illustrates particular activities from periphery to center with the way that
54:26the cosmic etheric life forces stream in from the perimeter to the center, and they
54:31can start to form matrices of energy in the way that they stream in and that they
54:37cross.
54:37So what you created today with your drawing was an example of matrices of energy
54:42that get formed with the crossing of these lines of energy coming from the periphery
54:48toward the center, and then they can actually shape form, like the form of a crystal
54:54with its hexagonal shape formed by the lines of energy coming from the periphery.
54:59The work in projective geometry has some very deep waters, which there are texts
55:05that will describe but go beyond a lot of what we can describe in this course
55:10because it requires quite a bit of analysis, but they relate very directly to
55:15certain spiritual processes and they relate very directly to getting an internal
55:20visual model to understand the relation between the physical world and the world of
55:26etheric life energy and the spiritual world in general.
55:30And there's one interesting illustration of this.
55:33One is that one of the primary people doing projective geometry work in the
55:38Rosicrucian tradition, and this is actually all within the particular stream
55:43following Rudolf Steiner, is a woman named Olive Witcher.
55:47So there are a number of books by Olive Witcher that deal with projective geometry.
55:52The simplest one is one we have called The Heart of the Matter that tells you the
55:58upshot of why projective geometry is important and how it models certain types of
56:03spiritual phenomena.
56:05Then there are others like Sun Space by her, which talks about the relationship of
56:10these concepts in projective geometry to understanding the true nature of the sun,
56:16where the sun is actually negative space, but too much to get into at the moment.
56:21But my anecdote is that Olive Witcher in the work of projective geometry had a
56:26particular student, and that student was a woman named Frida Harris.
56:31And so what Frida Harris learned from Olive Witcher is the way that particular
56:36spiritual realities are formed around projective geometry principles.
56:41And it turns out that at that time Frida Harris was a friend of a gentleman named,
56:46and I use the term very loosely, Alistair Crowley.
56:50And so Crowley approached Frida Harris to draw a tarot deck for him.
56:54And Olive Witcher actually counseled her, Crowley's not a very nice guy, and you
57:00probably shouldn't do it.
57:01But nonetheless, Frida Harris did it, and that tarot deck is now known as the Thoth
57:07deck, and it's one of the best-selling tarot decks in the world.
57:11If you've ever seen the Crowley Thoth deck, you've seen that it has these remarkable
57:17images on it, which is one reason why it's so popular.
57:21I personally don't recommend the deck because the actual spiritual energetics of it
57:26are not so great because of what's been put into it.
57:30But what makes it so appealing is the fact that the images on it are quite
57:35mind-blowing and very energetically powerful because the matrices of the
57:40illustrations on the Thoth tarot deck are based on projective geometry.
57:44They're actually based on Rosicrucian projective geometry.
57:48And it'd be nice if someday someone did the same sort of thing but put better
57:53energetics into the images on the cards, but it shows you one illustration of this
57:59projective geometry idea.
58:01Now, within the Rosicrucian projective geometry stream, there is another person who
58:06wrote an incredible book called The Vortex of Life. His name was Lawrence Edwards.
58:12He was a professor of mathematics in Scotland, and I was very pleased to be able to
58:17meet him before he died in the 1990s when he came to the U.S.
58:21And Lawrence Edwards' book, The Vortex of Life, is an incredible study using
58:26projective geometry, showing the way that these cosmic etheric forces come in and
58:32they make particular matrices of energy that living forms in our world form around.
58:38So that's what The Vortex of Life is about.
58:40And so, the next few slides I'll show you are from his work.
58:44This is a vortex path curve surface. That's what they call it.
58:49And it shows the way that these dynamic etheric forces come in, and then they begin
58:54to wind around into a spiral or to a cone shape.
58:57And this has many different applications in nature.
59:01In the examination of these particular shapes, this is all based on applications of
59:06projective geometry like you did today, although this gets a little bit more
59:12involved than what you did today.
59:14He had the form where he found that one of the forms that nature uses with these
59:19projective energies coming in toward the center gave you a particular form that he
59:25saw was very similar to the actual observed form of a vortex in water.
59:29So he called this particular form of the energy streaming in to this particular
59:35pattern the watery vortex.
59:36Then he had another one that was based on his mathematical calculations of these
59:42projective energies coming in and forming a matrix for things to form in the
59:47physical world that looks like the type of a vortex that you see formed in air.
59:52And he called this one the airy vortex.
59:55And he then was able to model the actual shapes of particularly things like the buds
1:00:01of flowers based on this, particularly things like the rose.
1:00:05So this is a buttercup bud and he's modeling it according to these movements of
1:00:10these dynamic energies coming in projectively and molding the spirals on the form of
1:00:16the bud. He also in his book has a lot of incredible observations about the rose.
1:00:21There's also some stuff in his book that's amazing about his observations of the way
1:00:27that the morphology of the plants changes over time.
1:00:30The actual shapes of the plants as they grow and form buds, et cetera, changes over
1:00:36time and they make movements in coordination with the movements of the planets.
1:00:41And he was able to demonstrate scientifically things that had just been kind of like
1:00:47mystical lore before that time.
1:00:49He was able to show that certain plants will actually make a kind of a bowing
1:00:54gesture at the time of the movement of particular planets in the heavens.
1:00:59And so quite remarkable stuff, but all based on this ability to visualize and work
1:01:04with dynamic energies from the periphery moving into these spiral forms and forming
1:01:10a matrix for the creation of life itself.
1:01:13Again, another aspect of the work coming out of Steiner's work dealing with dynamic
1:01:18vortex energies, the work of Theodore Sphinx in Sensitive Chaos, he shows the way
1:01:24that these types of spiral and vortex patterns occur in all aspects of nature.
1:01:29So this is true not only for the water, as you see here with his analysis of the way
1:01:35that you have dynamic circulations in great bodies of water like here off of
1:01:40Britain, but also, of course, in the air and in fire, but you also have it in Earth
1:01:45itself.
1:01:46And he shows the way that in the study of the Atlas Mountains and the Pyrenees and
1:01:51the Alps in Europe, if you look at the actual substrate of the mountains themselves
1:01:57in the structure of Europe, that they actually have a primeval form that is based on
1:02:03spiral movements that is frozen in place.
1:02:05And then studies of the air shows the way that the birds, the creatures of the air,
1:02:11use these spiral and vortex movements as their everyday lived reality for their
1:02:16movement in the heavens, so that there are these thermal movements of energy that
1:02:22are basically spherical, and the birds will allow themselves to get onto that
1:02:27circuit and be raised by them, and they'll ride these spherical circuits of the air
1:02:33currents.
1:02:33By the same token, there are these particular movements of energy coming straight up
1:02:39that they will then ride in a spiral fashion, and ride one spiral after another.
1:02:44So they're like surfers of the air using these particular energies.
1:02:49And in my studies in geophysics, this is from a geophysics textbook right here, it
1:02:54shows that the high and low pressure regions that we hear about on the Earth
1:02:59actually are movements of the air in two different directions.
1:03:04Now the interesting thing about it is that in that particular pattern of
1:03:08understanding clockwise and counterclockwise and reversal of the patterns in
1:03:13particular phenomena occurs in many different types of structures, but a good image
1:03:19of it is that one of high and low pressure regions.
1:03:23But understand it as an archetype, and you can understand other activities as well.
1:03:28So just a couple more and we'll then go to lunch.
1:03:31One of the things that you find when you observe the actual movement of water is
1:03:37that it's not so much that the water itself is moving straight forward, but rather
1:03:42that there is an energetic rotation of energy.
1:03:45And it's like a spherical rotation in the water that's creating the wave function
1:03:51with the way that the water is moving.
1:03:53It's like a sphere after sphere after sphere, and the water is rolling and being
1:03:59moved through that particular form.
1:04:01By the same token, if you've ever seen these surfing movies where you shoot the curl
1:04:07in the wave itself, the spiral is formed as the water begins to bring a portion of
1:04:12the water up.
1:04:13Part of it stays down while part of it is coming toward it, so it rises up, and then
1:04:19it curls over. It actually then forms a vortex.
1:04:22So what the surfer is doing when they shoot the curl, they move very, very quickly
1:04:28because it's actually forming a spiral or a vortex in the water, and they're being
1:04:33pulled forward in the vortex.
1:04:35And this process is a good demonstration of things that happen elsewhere in nature,
1:04:41but also happen transcendentally in types of higher initiation work.
1:04:45And this is a good image of the way that water can create an actual vortex movement
1:04:51inside of it.
1:04:52And this is connected to the work of Victor Schauberger, who we'll talk about this
1:04:57afternoon.
1:04:58Victor Schauberger observed as a forest warden in Austria in the first part of the
1:05:03last century, that even closed bodies of water, vortex patterns happen in dynamic
1:05:09open bodies of water all the time, but even in a closed lake, he would observe that
1:05:14the way that that body of water in a healthy closed lake, before it gets heavily
1:05:20polluted or otherwise corrupted, it would cleanse itself by all of a sudden when you
1:05:25observe the still surface of a lake, if it was a healthy lake, at some point you
1:05:31would start seeing these spiral movements of the water.
1:05:34And then those spiral movements would then open up to a central hole, like when you
1:05:40take out the plug in a bathtub and the water starts to go down it, and then the
1:05:45water then spirals into the vortex and this vortex opens up further and further.
1:05:51What this does is that that creation of the spiral movement and the vortex in a
1:05:56closed body of water allows the lake to activate and to cleanse itself.
1:06:01It's bringing in oxygen and it's creating a cleansing function by doing so.
1:06:06And so this is a method of energetic activation and of cleansing to have this type
1:06:11of energetic vortex circulation. So we'll end on that and we'll go to lunch.
1:06:17First few days, a lot of travel, a lot of energy, a lot of getting used to the new
1:06:22people, the new environment.
1:06:24At this point, lack of sleep and general fatigue can sometimes start catching up
1:06:29with you.
1:06:30So if that's the case, don't worry about it too much, but we're going to do a couple
1:06:36of energy practices right now that hopefully will pick your energy up a little bit
1:06:41to get through the slides this afternoon.
1:06:44So the first practice that we're going to do is related to the torus circulation
1:06:49that we discussed before.
1:06:51The toroidal energy circulation is absolutely fundamental for living systems on the
1:06:57planet, everything from the human being up to the earth itself.
1:07:01And the toroidal energy circulation practice is very simple and very straightforward
1:07:06and extremely beneficial.
1:07:08The basic idea of it is that there is this toroidal energy field in the human energy
1:07:14field itself.
1:07:15So if we think of the human body as having a central channel of energy, the
1:07:20thrusting channel in Taoist yoga, Sushumna channel in Indian yoga, a central channel
1:07:25of energy going straight through the center of the body, entering at the crown,
1:07:31exiting through the perineum, going down between the feet and down into the earth,
1:07:36and of course also extending above the crown of the head straight up, this vertical
1:07:42axis of the body is actually one of multiple energy axes of the human body, but it's
1:07:47the primary one.
1:07:48It's the first one that you see developing with the embryo and the womb.
1:07:53It's the core energy axis.
1:07:55And so it's this energy axis that's going to be the axis through which we take the
1:08:01energy in from below, move it up through the center of the body in the energy field,
1:08:06up to above the head, where it then spreads out and moves to all sides and then back
1:08:12down to below the feet to circulate this way.
1:08:15So we're going to start with this practice by circulating it from below the feet to
1:08:21above the head, and then we're going to try it the other direction.
1:08:25The force coming this direction is the earth force.
1:08:28The force coming this direction is usually called the heaven force.
1:08:33And these two forces have particular applications.
1:08:36Also after we've done each one separately, we're going to try moving them together.
1:08:42And when these two energies move into and past each other, it creates a very
1:08:47specific energetic effect.
1:08:49And I'll let you experience that for yourself, but it's related to the concept of
1:08:54the scalar wave energy that we discussed before.
1:08:57The basic idea there is that we looked at the scalar wave coils in which you had
1:09:03either a caduceus coil, where there are two wires crossed over each other and
1:09:08created a zero point where they crossed, or what's called a bifilar coil that we
1:09:13showed you yesterday, where the two coils are one above the other.
1:09:18And the people that work with this then buck the two energy fields, the magnetic
1:09:23fields of the two coils against each other that creates the scalar wave energy.
1:09:29Now the same type of thing happens whenever you have two canceling forces hitting
1:09:34each other.
1:09:35So when you have a force coming from below to above and above to below, and they
1:09:40move into and through each other, it creates this type of zero point phenomenon that
1:09:46we've described so far.
1:09:47Now the same thing is true in certain groups out there today that teach energy
1:09:53meditations based on sacred geometry, where they have you counter rotate two
1:09:58versions of the same form in your energy field.
1:10:01Probably the most well-known version of that that's currently out there is with a
1:10:06star tetrahedron, which has the form of one tetrahedron up, one tetrahedron down,
1:10:12interpenetrating, like a three-dimensional six-pointed star.
1:10:16And the form that's usually taught of that is that you have one star tetrahedron
1:10:21static in the field, and then two other star tetrahedra in the same space, and they
1:10:27are counter rotating within the field.
1:10:29And having that counter rotation creates this zero point type of energy as the two
1:10:35fields are passing through each other. There are variations on this.
1:10:39There are other groups that work with the same idea, but they do it with spheres,
1:10:45and they counter rotate the spheres in the field.
1:10:48But that idea of counter rotation does the same sort of thing, creates a zero point
1:10:54field.
1:10:54So for the practice we're about to do, as I said, we're going to start with the
1:11:00toroidal energy circulation.
1:11:01And you find that many groups work with variants on this particular exercise, and
1:11:07they will have different names for it.
1:11:09For instance, in some parts of the East, they will describe an energy exercise where
1:11:15you bring energy in through the lower part of the body, through the feet, lower
1:11:20energy field, and circulate it up the center of the body, and then radiate it out.
1:11:26And they describe it in forms of a tree, like a willow tree, where the energy comes
1:11:31up the trunk of the body, like the trunk of a tree, and then it spreads out like a
1:11:37willow's branches in all directions, and the branches move back down to the earth,
1:11:43and then it orbits again. That's the same idea as this toroidal energy circulation.
1:11:48So what I'm going to ask you to do is just to go ahead and to stand up where you
1:11:53are, move your chairs back a little bit.
1:11:56Stand up, and if you want to move a little bit into the aisle way or something to
1:12:02give you a little bit of room from your neighbor, the only thing that you're really
1:12:07going to need room for is room to stand up, and at just a couple of places in the
1:12:13exercise, you'll be moving your arms like this, but not for the entire practice,
1:12:18just to give you a sense of the energy movement.
1:12:21So again, the basic idea is that your awareness and attention is below the feet to
1:12:27begin with, and you're going to bring energy up the central channel of the body
1:12:32between the feet, entering in at the perineum at the base of the body, through the
1:12:38center of the body, up above the head, out through the crown, and when it comes to a
1:12:43place above the head, about the extent that your arms can reach above your head,
1:12:49it'll then move out to all sides, again like the idea of the willow tree.
1:12:54But be aware that as it moves up the center and then out to the sides, it moves out
1:12:59to all sides simultaneously.
1:13:01It's a complete sphere of energy around you as that central rod of energy comes up,
1:13:07it then moves to a spherical form.
1:13:09And one thing to keep in mind in doing this is that when you analyze this in our
1:13:14culture, most people in our culture have more of their energetic awareness out here
1:13:20than they have back here.
1:13:22For most of us, the backspace energetic awareness, and literally the backspace of
1:13:27the energetic aura, is greatly compressed.
1:13:30So this is actually an energy practice not only to circulate energy in and through
1:13:35the energy body, but also to begin to create a harmonious spherical form that is
1:13:41completely balanced to all sides.
1:13:43And so as you do the practice and the energy comes down, give some awareness to make
1:13:49sure that the energy form that is moving downward is equally far out to all sides.
1:13:54So one way that we might want to do it to begin with is with the idea of the energy
1:14:00coming up the center of the body, go ahead and use your arms to reach up above the
1:14:05head and the place that your fingers touch above your head will be the place that
1:14:11you then allow the vertical movement to stop, and then it's going to ray out to all
1:14:16sides.
1:14:17So let the arms come down and get a kinesthetic feeling for how far out your fingers
1:14:22are at the moment.
1:14:24And then just go ahead and, without moving your feet, just move your arms around a
1:14:29bit and get a sense of how far that sphere, if it was a perfect, harmonious, equal
1:14:35sphere in all directions would go, particularly toward the back to make sure you're
1:14:40going as equally far in the back as you do to the front and equal to both sides.
1:14:46Okay, for the first repetition we're going to do together, I'm going to ask you to
1:14:51do it with me and use your hands to replicate the movement.
1:14:55Then after you get the sense of it, we're not going to use the hands.
1:15:00So we're also going to do this in combination with the breath.
1:15:04So for the first repetition, you're aware of the energy beneath the feet and with
1:15:09the inhale bring the energy up between the legs into the body and up above the head.
1:15:15So the end of the first inhale, the energy will be up here.
1:15:19Then when you exhale, it falls like the leaves of the tree to all sides and it goes
1:15:25at the end of the exhale back to beneath the feet.
1:15:28And we'll do that a couple of times.
1:15:30So for this we want to use the hands to mirror the movement to make sure you've got
1:15:36it. Okay, so with your hands pointing down to below the body to begin with, inhale and
1:15:42pull the energy up. Maximum inhale, energy's all the way up and exhale.
1:15:46Let it fall to the side. Maximum exhale and back below the feet. Then inhale.
1:15:52Bring the energy up the center of the body, up above the head and exhale.
1:15:57To all sides, to back below the feet and equally low beneath the body, as to the
1:16:02height you went above the body. One more time using the hands.
1:16:06Up, inhaling, full extent and exhale. Out to all sides, to down beneath the body.
1:16:12Now let's do it seven times and you can do it either with your eyes open or closed,
1:16:17whichever you prefer.
1:16:19And don't use your hands this time, just do it with energetic awareness.
1:16:23So first repetition, breathe in and exhale. Breathe in and exhale.
1:16:28Breathe in, up the center of the body and exhale.
1:16:31Breathe in, up above the head and exhale.
1:16:34Breathe in, pulling up the center of the body to above the head and exhale.
1:16:39Out to all sides, back to below the body.
1:16:42Breathe in, up the center of the body to above the head and exhale.
1:16:46Out to all sides to below the body and last repetition, inhale and exhale.
1:16:51Now just tune in for a moment to the feeling of energy in your field and ask
1:16:56yourself silently, how has this practice structured my body of energy?
1:17:01What is the after effect of energy in your field that you feel?
1:17:05Okay, now we're going to do it the other direction.
1:17:09So again, we're going to start with, is going to do it three times together using
1:17:14the hands to mirror the movement.
1:17:16For this, when we inhale, we're going to start above the head, pull in through the
1:17:22crown, down through the center of the body, down into the earth and a maximum
1:17:27inhale, beneath the feet, we'll then exhale and then the energy will flow up around
1:17:33all sides back to the top. So now we're making this movement.
1:17:37So let's start with our hands up here and inhale, pulling the energy down through
1:17:42the crown, through the center of the body, down to beneath the feet and then exhale
1:17:48up around the sides, front of the body, back to the top and inhale, below the feet
1:17:53and exhale and inhale to below the body and exhale.
1:17:57Okay, we're going to do it seven times and we're going to do it again with the
1:18:02breath but not using the hands and for this time, let me ask you to do it with your
1:18:08eyes closed so you can tune into the energy a little bit better.
1:18:12So with the eyes closed, your back straight, awareness above the head, inhale from
1:18:17above to the center of the body to below and exhale, energy flows around you in a
1:18:23sphere moving upward back to above the head.
1:18:26Inhale and exhale, energy goes from below all the way around you in a sphere back to
1:18:31above the head. Inhale and exhale and inhale and exhale and inhale and exhale.
1:18:37And inhale and exhale and inhale and exhale and inhale and exhale.
1:18:41Last repetition, awareness above the head, inhale through the center of the body to
1:18:47below the feet and exhale from below the feet around in a sphere back up to above
1:18:52the head.
1:18:53And keeping the eyes closed, ask yourself the silent question, how has this practice
1:18:58structured my body of energy? What is the energetic after effect of the practice?
1:19:04Okay, and you can open your eyes.
1:19:06Now let's try the last part of it, which is doing both directions simultaneously.
1:19:12And this can be a little bit tricky at first but has a very interesting energy
1:19:17effect.
1:19:17So for this, when we inhale, we're going to bring energy in simultaneously from
1:19:23above and below.
1:19:24So the midpoint of the inhalation, the energy is going to meet the center point of
1:19:29the body and pass through each other and then at exhalation, it's going to go both
1:19:35directions with the spherical movement simultaneously.
1:19:38Again, when you inhale, the two will both come up and down simultaneously and then
1:19:44on the exhale, it will be both above and below.
1:19:47Okay, we're going to do it seven times. Let's try it with the eyes closed.
1:19:52And inhale, feel the sensation as the two fields pass through each other, and
1:19:57exhale, and the sensation as the two fields pass through each other in the sphere
1:20:03around you.
1:20:03Inhale, and exhale, and inhale, and exhale, and inhale, and exhale, and inhale, and
1:20:09exhale. And now we're going And inhale. And exhale. And inhale. And exhale.
1:20:14And last time, inhale. Fields pass through each other, and exhale.
1:20:18Fields pass through each other on the spherical perimeter of the body.
1:20:23And keeping the eyes closed, ask yourself the silent question, how has this practice
1:20:29structured my body of energy? Feeling the energetic aftereffect of the practice.
1:20:34And when you're ready, you can snap the fingers of either hand, open your eyes, and
1:20:40have a seat.
1:20:41So, as is the case with most energy exercises that combine breathing with energy
1:20:46circulation, you might find that this particular exercise will generate heat in the
1:20:52body.
1:20:52Also, it's the kind of thing that can be done to increase the energy in the body and
1:20:58to increase one's general vitality level when you're beginning to feel depleted.
1:21:03One aspect of that is getting the energy correct through the central channel of the
1:21:09body so it's flowing strongly.
1:21:11It's also a matter of pulling energy from the earth, which is very grounding, and
1:21:16energy from heaven, which has its own force that is quite activating.
1:21:21And in fact, in working with these two different directions, a particular person
1:21:26might need to circulate the energy one direction or the other at particular times,
1:21:32depending on their energy structure and what they need energetically at that time.
1:21:37Each direction is a particular polarity of energy.
1:21:40The heaven force and the earth force work simultaneously on the human energy field
1:21:46all the time.
1:21:47In Chinese Taoist philosophy, they show this in a three-part system with heaven
1:21:52above, human being in the center, and the earth below.
1:21:56Any questions or comments on the practice? Yes, please.
1:22:01Speaker 5: Were the first two exercises, the up and the down, meant to produce a certain effect
1:22:07in the third as a balance of the two?
1:22:10Because I felt, on the third, I felt the crossing of this area and I felt the two
1:22:16sticks together. I felt a burn, but a very warming sensation.
1:22:21And I felt like I wanted to use the third together as a grounding element.
1:22:44Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: And that zero-point effect is an opening of a door to spirit, so to speak, whether
1:22:49you study it in electromagnetic theory, where a scalar wave basically is sending the
1:22:54charge inward to another place, or whether you study it esoterically, to where it's
1:22:59connecting to other planes, other dimensions, to spirit, however you want to think
1:23:04of it.
1:23:04Whenever two energy fields pass through each other, you get that zero-point effect.
1:23:09So it has a balancing effect, but also has this gateway or doorway aspect.
1:23:14There are some relations of this to particular types of breathing practices, but I'm
1:23:19going to wait to talk about the breathing practices when we get into that tomorrow.
1:23:24Other questions or comments? Yes, please.
1:23:27Speaker 3: I felt, and this is something I actually smelled yesterday during the pentagram, an
1:23:35electric magnetic sense of, actually a felt sense of smelling it and knowing it when
1:23:43it drops.
1:23:45Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: Yes, this comes into the thing where we're constructed in such a way that we don't
1:23:49really take in through our sensorium quantities, we take in qualities.
1:23:53And that qualities are based on a particular scale of qualities, so that that same
1:23:57scale replicates for all of our senses.
1:23:59So any of the senses can be activated to perceive the energy quality within the
1:24:03scale, whether it's taste, or smell, or touch, or sight, or hearing, any of these
1:24:08can be activated at that time.
1:24:09And it's always very worthwhile to pay attention to what's being activated for you,
1:24:14because one person's experience will be different from another person's experience.
1:24:18And that's why we say this thing at the end about, tune in at the end to see how
1:24:22this practice structures your body of energy.
1:24:25Because this is moving energy in a particular circulation pattern, and has a
1:24:29particular polarity to it.
1:24:30And depending on how your energy system is to begin with, you might have different
1:24:34sensations.
1:24:35But it also creates a structuring effect in the energy field that we want you to be
1:24:39aware of.
1:24:40That structuring effect is somewhat universal between people, because the geometric
1:24:44flow is universal.
1:24:45But we already have a foundation of a structure that's different from the next
1:24:50person, so the experience of it can be a little bit different. Yes, please.
1:24:54Speaker 4: I have been introduced to this breathing technique, this Tom Kenyon, and I would
1:24:59like to just add two things to it, what makes it easier.
1:25:02If you keep the tongue on the roof of your mouth, because there's a gate, which
1:25:08makes the energy easier to move through.
1:25:10And the other one is, if it's easier for you, imagine like you have a magnet pulling
1:25:16the one energy you have, and a magnet to the other side that pulls the energy to the
1:25:21downside. That's just something like that. I mean, anybody that feels it will help.
1:25:28Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: Okay, thank you.
1:25:29One aspect of this, with the idea of the touching of the tip of the tongue to the
1:25:34roof of the mouth, those of you that have trained in Taoist yoga, or various types
1:25:39of Chinese medical Qigong, will be familiar with this technique.
1:25:43It's the basic idea that we have two primary channels in the body.
1:25:47That particular practice actually comes from the microcosmic orbit practice, where
1:25:53we bring the energy up the spine, and then here to the front of the head, and it
1:25:58matches another channel coming up the front of the body, and the two meet here.
1:26:03And by touching the tip of the tongue to the roof of the mouth, the two channels
1:26:08meet.
1:26:09And at that point, in most forms of Chinese Qigong that I've been exposed to, what
1:26:14is actually two different movements of energy here combine into one to become a
1:26:19solid orbit of energy.
1:26:20And it's the touching of the tip of the tongue to the roof of the mouth that creates
1:26:26that connection.
1:26:27This is also a particular method that is used in Chinese Qigong to help overcome
1:26:32Kundalini sickness.
1:26:33When you've shot too much energy from the root of the spine up to the top of the
1:26:38head, and it got stuck up there, then by touching the tip of the tongue to the roof
1:26:44of the mouth, you want to bring that energy down and circulate it.
1:26:48One thing that some of the original Kundalini Yoga systems were based on, in
1:26:53shooting the energy from the base of the spine up to the top of the head, was a
1:26:58technique that in the Tibetan was called shooting the pearl.
1:27:02And that was to actually consciously excarnate out of the body permanently, in which
1:27:07you form a pearl of the consciousness, and you shoot it out of the top of the head
1:27:13to excarnate, to essentially die consciously, move out of the crown, and leave the
1:27:18physical body permanently.
1:27:20So when the energy comes from the base of the spine to the top of the head, it
1:27:25activates these centers at the head.
1:27:27But sometimes too much energy can build up at the top of the head, and of course we
1:27:33don't want to shoot the pearl at the top of the head until it's time to die.
1:27:37So the idea then is that rather than having energy just go straight up to the top of
1:27:43the head, again the Chinese Qigong solution is to instead circulate the energy in
1:27:48various forms.
1:27:49And if you study, again, Taoist Yoga systems of that kind, not only do you have the
1:27:54microcosmic orbit, but then it's connected to the macrocosmic orbit with the legs
1:28:00and grounding to the earth, and then it's connected to belt meridians around the
1:28:05body and multiple other phenomena.
1:28:07Okay, at this point we're going to go ahead and move to our next practice, which
1:28:12some of you have done with me before, and is going to be connected to this practice
1:28:18in the sense of our getting a sense of the structure of the central energy column.
1:28:23This practice that some of you have done with me before, we usually refer to by the
1:28:28simple name of the pulling-up practice.
1:28:31And the pulling-up practice is based on research that we did at the Clairevision
1:28:36School of Australia.
1:28:37I mentioned to you before the Clairevision School headed by the French medical
1:28:42doctor Samuel Sagan.
1:28:44I lived there for a year, learned their techniques, and Dr. Sagan made me the first
1:28:49American instructor in their techniques, which I did for some period of time.
1:28:54And so this particular technique came about when they were studying what happens
1:28:59energetically in a person's field with chronic fatigue syndrome.
1:29:03And it's not only chronic fatigue syndrome, but really any time you feel tired.
1:29:08The basic idea is that when you feel tired, if you study a person's physical body
1:29:14and energy body, it's like they have a weight on the top of the head.
1:29:18And so when a person is very alert, they're wide awake, and their energy anatomy in
1:29:23their physical body is like this. But when you're tired, you slump over.
1:29:28And it's like something is pushing you down.
1:29:31And what we found is that in some cases with chronic fatigue and general cases of
1:29:36fatigue, that what's happening is that there's a kind of a burnout here.
1:29:41You begin to get tired, and you begin to get sloppy in your thinking, and you're
1:29:46feeling burned out. You have to recharge.
1:29:49Some of that is just when you've reached your energy maximum, and you have to sleep
1:29:54and recover.
1:29:55But it can be with chronic fatigue, where you do not recover after sleep, that what
1:30:00has happened is related to that center above the head we talked about before.
1:30:05We have the central energy column and interpenetrating it a series of vortices from
1:30:11the front and the back that are commonly referred to as the chakras at these seven
1:30:16major positions.
1:30:17And then above the head, we have also what we might think of as chakras or energy
1:30:22platforms.
1:30:23They're considered differently in different traditions, but it's the same phenomena.
1:30:28And every one of these is also a center of energy, which is also a center of
1:30:33function.
1:30:34The function of the brow chakra is different than the function of the throat chakra,
1:30:39different from the function of the heart chakra.
1:30:42The same thing for every chakra above the head and below the body.
1:30:46They have different functions.
1:30:48That's why I call these grail points, because when you involute, when you move with
1:30:54zero point centering your energy and awareness into the center of them, you get in
1:30:59touch with the quality of energy held in each point, and every point has a different
1:31:05energy quality.
1:31:06So that, as I mentioned before, this first platform above the head has particular
1:31:11aspects to it where it allows us to perceive packed thought forms and also forms of
1:31:16super-fast mental functioning.
1:31:18And so it has a very high voltage to it, because when you think about it, at what
1:31:23times are you able to think normally in a way that is extremely rapid and extremely
1:31:29clear? It's when you're extremely awake and you have a lot of energy.
1:31:33If you're very tired, you really can't do it.
1:31:36So this place of super-fast mental functioning, perceiving packed thought forms,
1:31:41great mental clarity, has a higher voltage, a higher charge to it than can actually
1:31:47exist within the physical body itself.
1:31:49This has to do with the energy structure of the field, vis-à-vis the energy
1:31:54structure of the part of us that's actually within the physical form, because the
1:31:59field itself is full of nodal points of energy and full of matrices of
1:32:04interconnections.
1:32:05So this center above the head has particular functions and a very high charge.
1:32:10And as we mentioned the other day, what can sometimes happen is that this center
1:32:15above the head, when we think of ourselves as being here, and particularly when we
1:32:20are spiritually striving people, we want the content and the function of what is
1:32:25held here in the field to actually be here.
1:32:28And there is the subconscious tendency to let this center begin to move in its
1:32:33energetic closer down to the top of the head.
1:32:36And that then leads to too high an energetic charge at the top of the head, which
1:32:41leads to a burnout effect.
1:32:43This is referred to in some Himalayan schools with a type of a burnout of the nadis,
1:32:49the subtle energy channels that happen when this energy comes too close to the top
1:32:54of the head.
1:32:55And again, when we subconsciously allow this to come too far, we get that effect.
1:33:00So this particular practice came about as a way to help relieve fatigue at any time,
1:33:05and particularly to help relieve certain types of chronic fatigue syndrome.
1:33:10So we had many people at the school that had a full remission of chronic fatigue
1:33:15syndrome symptoms with doing this practice.
1:33:18However, I want to state the disclaimer that there are some types of chronic fatigue
1:33:24that can be helped by this but will not be solved by this, particularly forms of
1:33:29chronic fatigue that come from toxins in the body.
1:33:32The body must be detoxified to have the complete effect.
1:33:36Nonetheless, it will be beneficial.
1:33:38So the practice itself, that again some of you are already familiar with, is that we
1:33:43have a particular axis of energy here, and so what we actually have is the capacity
1:33:49to pull this energy one direction or another.
1:33:52A moment ago there was the metaphor of using a magnet, like we have a magnet above
1:33:57us and a magnet below us.
1:33:59We can also refer to it as a muscle, because if you look at the structure of the
1:34:04muscles in the body, all muscles pull, no muscles push.
1:34:07Every part of the body is a bilateral polarized system of a pulling muscle with the
1:34:13bicep and a pulling muscle with the tricep. All pull, none push.
1:34:17And so we have the capacity to pull the energy here higher up the column.
1:34:22The thing is that we're not normally conscious of the fact that we actually have
1:34:27these energy axes and these energetic muscles on the vertical axis and other axis of
1:34:32the body. When we do become aware of it, we can start flexing those energy axes.
1:34:37It's like a muscle that is atrophied.
1:34:40We've got to start flexing it, and then we become aware that we can use it all the
1:34:45time.
1:34:45So that for this type of practice, for the first few times you do it, you usually
1:34:51feel some effect, but it gets much stronger with repetition.
1:34:54The more that you do it, the more that that atrophied energetic muscle becomes
1:34:59active again, and you can strongly activate this particular practice.
1:35:04At the Clear Vision School, when we would do it as a group, in the foundation group
1:35:09of that school, there's about 100 people well-trained in the technique that have
1:35:15been doing it for years together.
1:35:17You could really feel the energetic lid just pop off the space that you were in from
1:35:22that pulling up effect.
1:35:24So to give you a sense of what I'm talking about, what I'd like you to do is to
1:35:29start just by taking your right hand and putting the palm of the right hand on the
1:35:34top of the head.
1:35:35And then I'd like you to just close your eyes and just become aware of the feeling
1:35:40of pressure and weight of your hand on top of the head.
1:35:44And you can even push down very gently with your palm on top of the head, not enough
1:35:49to cause any pain, just enough to feel that there is a pressure or weight on the top
1:35:55of the head.
1:35:56We want you to feel it kinesthetically, because this is not so much a visualization
1:36:01as an energy exercise. You need to feel the energy of it.
1:36:05So feeling the energy at the top of the head, then start raising your palm just off
1:36:10the top of the head, just about an inch, and tune in energetically to how that
1:36:15feels.
1:36:15How does it feel now at the head with the energy, with the weight, the pressure
1:36:20moved up slightly, so it's no longer pushing down directly on the head, and
1:36:25energetically you can still feel the hand hovering slightly above the crown.
1:36:30Then just start moving, keeping your eyes closed, move your hand straight up in a
1:36:36straight vertical direction, straight up above your head, and tune in to the feeling
1:36:41of it as the hand rises up higher and higher, until your arm is at full extension,
1:36:46and you feel how it feels as the hand rises higher and higher, and the energy clears
1:36:52above the top of the head.
1:36:53And when your arm is at full extension, you can just drop your arm and open your
1:36:59eyes. That's not the practice.
1:37:00That's just to give you an energetic reference for the practice.
1:37:05The actual practice is this, that for each repetition I'm going to say, And at the
1:37:10time that I say pull up, you're going to breathe in sharply, raise the eyebrows at
1:37:15the first moment, and it's as if you're above yourself, and you're flexing this
1:37:20energetic muscle, and you're pulling the energy straight up the column.
1:37:25It's as if you have a tube running from straight above you, straight down through
1:37:30the center of the body into the earth.
1:37:33You're pulling the energy as if from above you, that muscle is flexing, pulling that
1:37:38energy straight up.
1:37:39It's a little hard to describe, but once you start doing it, it's easy to feel.
1:37:44That column of energy, and what it's like to pull from above yourself, that energy
1:37:50up. So the reason why we raise the eyebrows and breathe in sharply at the same time is
1:37:55that, to be honest, to begin with, most of us aren't aware we have this column of
1:38:00energy, or that we have a muscle that can activate it.
1:38:04And so what happens is that we can actually use the combination of the sharp intake
1:38:09of breath and the sharp raising of the eyebrows simultaneously to actually activate
1:38:15the pulling function. And that's one thing that this does.
1:38:18By breathing in sharply and raising the eyebrows, it activates the pulling function.
1:38:24So it allows you to feel it and to use it much more quickly.
1:38:28And so, again, basically what I'll do is I'll say, pull up, and at that moment, pull
1:38:33up, sharp intake of breath, raising of the eyebrows at the same moment as you're
1:38:38pulling the energy straight up the column.
1:38:41And then when I say exhale, however far up you felt the energy go up the column,
1:38:46leave it that high, don't let it plop back down.
1:38:49Leave it that high, exhale, and you lower the eyebrows.
1:38:53Then next time that I say pull up, you'll start from as far as the energy got the
1:38:58first time, and then pull up again.
1:39:00Maybe go a little higher up, leave it high up, and then when you exhale, you'll
1:39:06lower the eyebrows and exhale.
1:39:08So, again, for each repetition, you're going to inhale, raise the eyebrows, and pull
1:39:13up, leave the energy high, and then when you exhale, leaving the energy high, you
1:39:18will lower the eyebrows and exhale.
1:39:20And that means that every time, with each repetition, you get the energy a little
1:39:26bit higher. Now, again, this is an energy practice, not a visualization.
1:39:30Now, what I mean by that is I don't want to just pretend that I'm pulling the energy
1:39:36up to the moon, but actually it hasn't shifted that far in my field.
1:39:40What I want to do is actually feel it tangibly.
1:39:43And so for this particular practice and this way of working, even if you just felt
1:39:49it budge a little bit, that's better than pretending it's doing something it's not
1:39:54doing. Stay with your true kinesthetic experience.
1:39:57For some people, it'll move way up. If you just go a little bit, that's fine.
1:40:02Leave it however high it goes and pull up with the next repetition.
1:40:06Any questions on the actual conduct of the practice? Okay?
1:40:10So, again, I will say pull up.
1:40:12You'll breathe in sharply, raise the eyebrows, pull the energy up, leave it high,
1:40:17and when I say exhale, lower the eyebrows, leave the energy high, and get ready for
1:40:23the next pull.
1:40:24Now, the thing is that we're not actually moving so much the actual position of the
1:40:29chakra above the head.
1:40:30We're moving the energies and allowing them to go further and further up the column.
1:40:36It's almost like we're cleaning the column.
1:40:39But that will also allow those energies to go back to their correct positions in the
1:40:44various centers above the head.
1:40:46Now, for this, I'm going to ask you, if you're wearing your glasses, to please
1:40:51remove your glasses and put them on the table in front of you.
1:40:55I'm also going to ask you to do the practice with your eyes closed so you can tune
1:41:00into the energy better. And I'm going to ask you to sit up relatively straight.
1:41:06You don't have a lot of tension in the body. It's not a strict military posture.
1:41:11But you want to sit up straight because the better alignment that you have between
1:41:16the back of the head and the spine, the better this works.
1:41:20And so one way to check that is to make sure you're not sitting with your chin
1:41:25jutted out.
1:41:26You might want to try pulling the chin in a little bit to see if that feels like a
1:41:31better adjustment between the back of the head and the spine.
1:41:35And then with the eyes closed, become aware of the energy at the very top of the
1:41:40head. Become aware of the column. And we'll start our repetitions. Pull up.
1:41:45Sharpen, take a breath, raising the eyebrows, pulling the energy up, leave it high,
1:41:50and exhale. Lower the eyebrows. Pull up.
1:41:53Raising the energy high, leave it high, and exhale. Lower the eyebrows. Pull up.
1:41:58Raise the energy high, leave it high, and exhale. Lower the eyebrows. Pull up.
1:42:03Leave the energy high, exhale. Lower the eyebrows. Pull up.
1:42:07Leave the energy high, exhale. Lower the eyebrows. Pull up. And exhale.
1:42:11Lower the eyebrows. Last repetition. Good, strong. Pull up.
1:42:15Leave the energy high, and exhale. Lower the eyebrows.
1:42:19And now with the eyes closed, check into the feeling of the energy above your head
1:42:24and the feeling of energy in your general field and ask yourself the silent
1:42:29question, How has this practice structured my body of energy?
1:42:33Now one last quick thing to do while you have your eyes closed.
1:42:37Putting your awareness at the center above the head, if you're not sure where the
1:42:42center above the head is, just start with your awareness at the crown of the head
1:42:47and then slowly move your energy and awareness up above the head in a vertical
1:42:52direction along that same column that you just moved the energy up.
1:42:57And after you move up an inch, maybe two inches, keep going up, straight vertical
1:43:02direction.
1:43:03At some point, before you go up too high, you should feel a place straight vertical
1:43:08above the top of the head in that column of energy, a place that feels like a place
1:43:13of light or a place that feels like additional energetic vibration, a stronger
1:43:18energy, or to some of you it might feel like a platform of energy, a place that you
1:43:24can rest your energy and attention at that platform.
1:43:27If you were to move your awareness above that platform, it would pretty naturally
1:43:32keep moving upward.
1:43:34And if you move your awareness below that platform, there's a tendency for it to
1:43:39want to move back down into the body.
1:43:41Putting the attention right in the center of that platform is a stable place to rest
1:43:47the awareness.
1:43:48So just become aware of what you feel above the head, at a place above the head that
1:43:53feels like additional vibration or density or a platform to rest your awareness at.
1:43:58Now holding that awareness of that position above the head in your mind, I would
1:44:04like you to move your awareness now straight down the channel above the head.
1:44:09So you're moving from the platform straight down to the crown center, and now move
1:44:14it straight down through the center of the body, straight down through the center of
1:44:19the body to exit at the perineum, at the base of the body, going down beneath your
1:44:25feet below the body, and finding a space that's equally far below the body as this
1:44:30center above the head is above the body.
1:44:32And because you're sitting in a chair, it's going to be directly beneath the main
1:44:38part of your body, beneath your trunk.
1:44:40So look for it straight down beneath the feet, down into the earth, the first
1:44:45platform of energy down beneath you in the straight column of energy.
1:44:50And when you find that platform below, allow your energy to rest there for a moment.
1:44:55You can do the zero-point centering into that energy center or platform, the first
1:45:00one you come to, beneath the body in the central column, and see if you can get a
1:45:06sense of its energetic, what it feels like, what it tastes like, zero-point
1:45:10centering into the center of it.
1:45:12And just get a sense of how that center feels different from the one above the head,
1:45:18has a different effect on the body of energy.
1:45:21It's the exact opposite, it's complementary.
1:45:24And now one last thing that I'd like you to do is being aware simultaneously of that
1:45:29center beneath you in the central column, and being aware of the center above you,
1:45:34the first center above the head that you found.
1:45:37Just become aware of those two centers simultaneously, an equal distance above and
1:45:43below the body.
1:45:44And then I would like you to get a sense of the connection of these two points with
1:45:49curved lines of energy or curved lines of light that go from the point above the
1:45:54head out to either side of your body, and then around you, and then touching in a
1:46:00curved form like a bow, touching the center below the feet.
1:46:03And you'll find that this has the form of a vesica, so that now you're energetically
1:46:09inside of a vesica that surrounds your body and that is anchored at the point above
1:46:14the head and the point below the body, like the pictures that you see of Christ in
1:46:19the vesica in the cathedrals of Europe.
1:46:22And just spend a moment becoming aware of that vesica form connecting the center
1:46:27above and the center below, and see if there's any energetic shift that you get when
1:46:33the vesica is enclosing your physical body and connecting the point above and the
1:46:38point below.
1:46:39That's different than what you feel when it's just the point above and the point
1:46:44below with no vesica connecting them, to see if it feels any different.
1:46:48Okay, keeping the eyes closed, you can let go of that practice, and once again just
1:46:54ask yourself the silent question, how has this practice structured my body of
1:46:59energy?
1:46:59And what I'd like you to do now is to rub your palms briskly together, getting the
1:47:05palms very warm.
1:47:06And when the palms are very warm, cupping the warm palms over the closed eyes, no
1:47:11direct pressure against the eyeball, just dressing the palms above the eyes, letting
1:47:16the warmth of the palms sink into the eyes, enjoying the feeling of the warmth on
1:47:21the eyes.
1:47:22And at the same time, becoming aware of the feeling of your feet on the floor, the
1:47:27feeling of your body sitting in the chair, coming back to regular awareness.
1:47:32Last moment of enjoying the warmth of the palms on the eyes, feeling your body in
1:47:37the chair, feet on the floor.
1:47:39And when you're ready, you can snap the fingers of either hand and open your eyes.
1:47:45And before you move around too much, once again just tune into the feeling of energy
1:47:50in the room and see if the energy in the room has been structured by the people in
1:47:55the room doing the same practice. Okay, any questions or comments on the practice?
1:48:01Yes, please.
1:48:03Speaker 8: When you said to look down from the platform through the platform at the bottom of
1:48:09the tree, you lost me.
1:48:11And I was doing that, and then I heard you saying something about the Vesica.
1:48:17What did you say about the Vesica?
1:48:20Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: The basic idea is this, that through simply moving our energetic awareness to places
1:48:25in the body or in the field, we can become aware of these centers.
1:48:29So we want to become aware of the center above the head and then of the center that
1:48:34if you were standing up, it would be below the feet, an equal distance in the
1:48:39central column of the body that the center here is above.
1:48:43So it's a balance with the point above and below, and we got in touch with that
1:48:48energetically, to feel those two points.
1:48:50And then having felt those two points simultaneously to then become aware of an arc
1:48:55connection from the one above to the one below that then encompasses the physical
1:49:00body within a Vesica, like what you see in the cathedrals of Europe with Christ held
1:49:06in the Vesica.
1:49:07And then simply tune in to how does it feel when there is that Vesica connection
1:49:12between these two points around the body and how that feels different than when
1:49:17you're just aware of the two points by themselves.
1:49:20Now, always bear in mind that with practices of this kind, you don't want to set
1:49:25limitations on how far you can experience and take it in a short period of time.
1:49:30But also be aware that the first few times you do it, a large part of the mind is
1:49:35taken up with the mechanics and trying to follow the practice.
1:49:39So it's really after you do it multiple times that you get out of the mechanical
1:49:44part of the mind and into the actual experience of it.
1:49:47And that's the point that it really begins to take off to a deeper level.
1:49:52And at that point, too, you might become aware that as we showed you the Vesica
1:49:57inside the Vesica inside the Vesica, like you see in the cathedrals of Europe, the
1:50:02same thing is true in connecting the first point above and the first point below in
1:50:07a Vesica, second point above, second point below in a Vesica, in a complete fractal
1:50:12series. Yes, please. Okay, you don't have to do it.
1:50:16But it's very helpful, particularly in the beginning, because for people that can't
1:50:21feel it at all because this is such a subtle sensation, the raising of the eyebrows,
1:50:26the intake of breath, actually activates it in and of itself.
1:50:30And that then gets them closer to being able to actually feel that pulling effect
1:50:35that they could do without raising the eyebrows.
1:50:38So if you don't want to raise the eyebrows, you don't have to, as long as you get
1:50:43the feeling of the effect. Yes, please. You can go straight to any point of it.
1:50:48You classically find in many traditions that they have a complete set of practices
1:50:53related to structuring the field in which there would be a mantra, there would be a
1:50:59visual yantra to meditate upon, whole sets of things, particularly in the Himalayan
1:51:04tradition. We don't necessarily use that here.
1:51:07We're working more with straight awareness of the points themselves.
1:51:11So for us, it's simply a matter of moving the awareness to the existence of those
1:51:16points, to where we tangibly feel it, the same way we feel a part of the physical
1:51:21body, and then become aware of the connection between the two.
1:51:25And it's one of those things, too, that after you've done it a few times, it happens
1:51:30almost instantaneously upon putting your consciousness there.
1:51:34So where we ended up before, working with the spiral and the vortex, is going
1:51:39through the different stages.
1:51:41We had actually looked at it at the subatomic level, then up through the level of
1:51:46lived experience, and the heart, seashells, a number of different phenomena in the
1:51:51physical world, earth, air, water, fire.
1:51:54And as we said, all the great patterns of creation exist both at the micro-scale and
1:51:59the macro-scale.
1:52:00So we then find that we're going to find the same patterns at the macro-scale.
1:52:05And is this the first one? This is the first one.
1:52:08And so, of course, we're going to find similar patterns out in the cosmos.
1:52:13And this one here shows you the pattern that is formed as the sun is moving around
1:52:18the center of the galaxy. That's the central thread here.
1:52:21And then it's almost like the caduceus form. Here's the sun's journey.
1:52:26And then the planets are all orbiting around the sun, which is itself orbiting.
1:52:31And so it gives you the spiral, helix, vortex form moving through space.
1:52:35Our whole solar system is making that movement.
1:52:38And, of course, you've all seen pictures like this with the form of the spiral
1:52:43galaxies, etc. So, again, this is a universal form.
1:52:46You find it at all scales of creation.
1:52:49It's also connected to forms in sacred architecture.
1:52:52So one of the concepts behind it, and this is from one of the works of Mantok Chia,
1:52:57is this spiral movement of energy that's created by the spire at the top of the
1:53:02cathedral or of the types of stupas and things that you find in the east.
1:53:07So they actually themselves, because they are a cone-shaped form, cone-shaped forms
1:53:12are directly related to these vortex movements of energy.
1:53:16This is a remarkable structure that I pray to God still exists in Iraq.
1:53:20This was taken before the war in Iraq, and it's a remarkable Iraqi structure that
1:53:25puts this helix form directly into the form of the building.
1:53:29This is a form that you will see in landscape in various areas, and it's very
1:53:34interesting because one of the things that occur in some natural landscape
1:53:38formations are powerful vortices of energy coming from the heavens, coming from the
1:53:44cosmos, and entering the earth at a certain point.
1:53:47And close to them, another point through which there is a powerful vortex of energy
1:53:52that is moving out from the earth and up to the cosmos.
1:53:55Sometimes this can be a valley next to a mountain, something of this kind, but also
1:54:01it appears to be something that was also engineered places like England because they
1:54:06have these forms next to each other where you have a concave form right next to a
1:54:11convex form showing the movement of energy in and the movement of energy out.
1:54:16And this is connected to vortex movements in and out, connecting the earth and the
1:54:21heavens.
1:54:22Also, for those of you that have read some of the translations that Jane Weaver has
1:54:27done of the original French text, you'll have found that there's a lot of
1:54:31discussion, particularly in Chamoury and de Balizal, about the connection of the
1:54:36earth energies and the cosmic energies, and how when there is a weakening of the
1:54:42cosmic energies, this can lead to a greater amount of the detrimental vertical
1:54:46negative green phenomena that we described in the biogeometry training.
1:54:51These are pictures from Randolph Stone's polarity therapy, and it's showing the
1:54:56various types of spiral energy patterns and currents that exist in and around the
1:55:01human energy body.
1:55:02There's a kind of lemniscate form in the center of the body, and on various axes,
1:55:07these spinning forms around it.
1:55:09You find the same sort of thing in practices like Taoist yoga, again here from the
1:55:14work of Mantak Chia, where the energy is spiraled up from the earth and connecting
1:55:19to heaven.
1:55:20And this is also connected to something in Taoist yoga, which is the creation of
1:55:25energies around the body that are called belt meridians, as protective forms around
1:55:30the body.
1:55:31And here is showing another practice from Taoist yoga, in which vortices of energy
1:55:36are connected to the feet and to the hands and to the head.
1:55:40One of the classic things in Chinese Qigong styles and Taoist yoga is the collection
1:55:45of energy at the lower dan tien, where after you've done an energy practice and the
1:55:50energy is built up, it's understood in Chinese Qigong circles that the safe place to
1:55:56store the energy is the same place that the energy is brought in to the body of the
1:56:01fetus in the womb of the mother.
1:56:03So in some cases they do it directly at the navel, in other cases they do it
1:56:08slightly below the navel at the lower dan tien, that's just slightly below that
1:56:13center.
1:56:13But what it shows right here is that this energy to be collected is then spiraled
1:56:18into the body, and the spiraling is a form of collection.
1:56:22And that actually, for men and women, it's often taught that they spiral in opposite
1:56:27directions.
1:56:28And this is one of those things that's taught differently in different traditions or
1:56:33even in different sects within the same tradition, the thing about men and women
1:56:38spiraling in different directions.
1:56:40So different teachers will teach this slightly differently, but it's showing a
1:56:45polarity difference between the two in the spiraling directions, because there's a
1:56:50polarity difference, of course, between the male and the female.
1:56:54In the application of these patterns and forms for healing purposes.
1:56:59The patterns I've just shown you are used for healing purposes, of course, in moving
1:57:04energy beneficially through the human body, in Taoist yoga, etc. But there's also
1:57:09the aspect of using the pure shape and form as a powerful energy amplifier or
1:57:14projection device.
1:57:15This particular device, some of you might be familiar with, it was developed in the
1:57:201920s and 30s in France by a man named Georges Lakovsky.
1:57:24And it's called a Lakovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator.
1:57:27The Lakovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator, in its original form, looked just like this.
1:57:32There were two of these, one on either side of a patient.
1:57:36And they were built in such a way that there was a spark gap in between these loops.
1:57:41And so the spark gap here at the top is at this location, whereas the next one down
1:57:46has it at the bottom.
1:57:48The next one has the spark gap at the top, the next one has it at the bottom, etc.,
1:57:53so that they are alternating where the spark gap is in one loop after another.
1:57:58A number of people have worked to replicate the Lakovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator,
1:58:03and they have usually not been able to get as beneficial an effect as Lakovsky got
1:58:08from his original device.
1:58:10Well, one reason for that is that Lakovsky actually put noble gases inside these
1:58:15tubes in his original device.
1:58:16And most of those that people did as later devices did not include the noble gas
1:58:21element.
1:58:22Again, the noble gases seemed to work very well for coupling specific frequencies to
1:58:27the human energy body.
1:58:29Lakovsky also worked to create various forms of these spiral or vortex types of
1:58:34filaments, even in things that were connected to light bulbs.
1:58:37Because you've got to remember that when electricity first came around, as the world
1:58:43was first getting electrified and electrical grids were getting set in, there was a
1:58:48whole lot of esoteric ideas around what is electromagnetic energy.
1:58:52It was an occult type of discovery.
1:58:54Over the years, this has really diminished to being something very much in the
1:58:59materialistic realm, but at one time it was really understood within a more holistic
1:59:05context.
1:59:05So the idea of being able to create beneficial frequencies and vortices of energy
1:59:10through these electrical devices was very common at that time in the 20s and 30s, so
1:59:15that by using these types of bulbs you could create various frequencies according to
1:59:21the actual diameter of the loops and the spacing between them, and also create the
1:59:26vortex from the way that they're patterned with larger and smaller and smaller and
1:59:31smaller.
1:59:32So when you look at this sort of thing, where you have concentric rings, or one
1:59:37above the other, in a diminishing or increasing ratio of size, always bear in mind
1:59:42that this is connected to creating the form of a vortex.
1:59:45That's the direct application of that particular type of structuring.
1:59:50This is from one of Likovsky's original patents, and it shows the way that this form
1:59:55that I just showed you a moment ago actually creates the energy effect right here.
2:00:00So it's meant to create the vortex form in the way it's structured in 2D.
2:00:05This is a form that was then created in the 1970s with people recreating his work,
2:00:10and they tried things like recreating it in golden mean proportion, etc. They could
2:00:15get some beneficial effects from this, but again, they didn't get anything as
2:00:20powerful as the original Likovsky device, and it would appear that's because, once
2:00:25again, they didn't use the noble gases as part of the system.
2:00:29An important part of understanding how vortices work together is that all types of
2:00:34natural systems have counter-rotating vortices.
2:00:37Again, in the biogeometry training, many of you saw the way that many biosignatures,
2:00:42which are the ways that energy circulates within the human body, have
2:00:47counter-rotating spirals to either side.
2:00:49There seem to be so many different ways that nature uses this principle.
2:00:54Well, this is also true for counter-rotating vortices.
2:00:57One of the most popular models in healing circles in North America today has been
2:01:02popularized by Barbara Brennan's school.
2:01:05And in Barbara Brennan's school and through her very popular book, Hands of Light,
2:01:10she popularized a model that she was exposed to from some of her teachers, and that
2:01:15even predates them to some extent, which is the vortex form of the chakras.
2:01:20And the most common form of this, there are different forms by different teachers,
2:01:25but the most common form is the idea that the healthy chakra rotates clockwise as
2:01:30seen from the front.
2:01:31That means that because there's a vortex to the front and the back, if you were to
2:01:36see a person from the front, their front chakra would be going in a clockwise vortex
2:01:42into the body.
2:01:43And then if you were standing behind them, then the chakra behind them would be
2:01:48going clockwise into the body.
2:01:49But because it's two different sides of the body, that means that although they're
2:01:55both going clockwise, as seen from their side, they are in fact counter-rotating.
2:02:00And so these counter-rotating vortices and their interaction are a very important
2:02:05energy principle.
2:02:06And this is one way it was depicted in the work of Walter Russell, showing the way
2:02:11that the two different vortices would perfectly interpenetrate.
2:02:15And there's many different applications of this particular pattern, where the widest
2:02:20part of one vortex meets the narrowest point of the cone of another vortex.
2:02:25It's a kind of complementary aspect, a kind of polarity aspect between the two
2:02:30counter-rotating vortices.
2:02:32And again, if you become aware of this pattern, you might be able to identify that
2:02:37pattern in certain phenomena and diagrams of old occult text, because that pattern
2:02:42not only exists in space with the two vortices, the same type of pattern actually
2:02:47occurs in time with certain creation processes.
2:02:50I want to mention right now a very interesting book from the Tibetan tradition
2:02:55called Sacred Dimensions of Time and Space by Tarthang Tolku.
2:02:59I've mentioned before that there's beginning to be the unprecedented release of a
2:03:04lot of information about bits and pieces of sacred geometric knowledge from many
2:03:09different world traditions.
2:03:11And one of those traditions that's releasing a lot of knowledge never released
2:03:15before is the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
2:03:18So it's got this beautiful color cover, and what it's depicting is described inside
2:03:23the book.
2:03:24It talks about the actual creation according to this deeper Tibetan teaching that
2:03:29had been hidden until this book had been brought public.
2:03:32At least, I'm not aware it had ever been made public before.
2:03:36That talked about various geometric forms and constants that actually create space
2:03:41and create time. And so I have a few excerpts from the book.
2:03:45I don't give you the entire description from lectures given by the author.
2:03:50And then there are pictures showing the processes that he has described.
2:03:54So I'll show you a few of the pictures.
2:03:57The basic idea is that you start from a zero point, and from that zero point you
2:04:02move out axes of energy.
2:04:03Well, the end points of those axes of energy then themselves develop axes of energy.
2:04:09So you get the central cross from the zero point, then crosses on those, rotated at
2:04:1445 degrees.
2:04:15And once you get the central cross in every point, then gets its own cross, that
2:04:20gives you a total of 16 points with the crosses at the end points.
2:04:24That's very interesting because throughout this Tibetan Buddhist work there's a
2:04:29constant emphasis on the number 16, which you find in other aspects of the Tibetan
2:04:34Buddhist tradition too, like the 16 spokes in the wheel of the Dharma.
2:04:38And from biogeometry we know how important the number 16 is.
2:04:42It's a primal number that generates BG3.
2:04:45Then they show the rotation of the axes, creating an 8-fold compass, another very
2:04:50common form that you find in sacred design, laying out of temples, etc. Now from the
2:04:55zero points they then talk about cones, which I think is going to be the same thing
2:05:00as vortices, radiating out in all directions.
2:05:03And so it shows here that through a particular process of doubling and creating
2:05:088-fold, you then get to where the zero point as a sphere gives rise to 16 cones in 3
2:05:13dimensions.
2:05:14Again, there's multiple mentions of the 16 harmonic, which we know is a BG3
2:05:19generator.
2:05:19And at that point you get to where there's a rotation 90 degrees, and it then gives
2:05:25you the outline of creating a sphere.
2:05:27The cones emerge, it says, in 4 directions, and the zero point gives birth to 16
2:05:32zero points times 4, or 64 zero points.
2:05:34Once again, we've come to that harmonic we discussed the other day with the I Ching,
2:05:40the 64.
2:05:40At that point, development of cones in 8 directions, zero gives birth to 16 zero
2:05:45points times 8, gives you 128.
2:05:47And then it creates this entire fractal structure, long cones of cones, filled with
2:05:52cones, extend from a single zero point, vortices within vortices from the initial
2:05:57zero point.
2:05:58Oriented in 4 directions, cones arising from zeros create endless patterns, cones of
2:06:03cones, vortices of vortices.
2:06:05So that's the description being made public now from the Tibetan tradition of the
2:06:10creation of space with the vortices.
2:06:12And when we get to our work on the platonic solids, I'll show you something else
2:06:17from that text that talks about the creation of time using a different pattern
2:06:22that's connected to the platonic solids.
2:06:25So let's come now to the topic that we actually dealt with a little bit yesterday
2:06:30with one of the questions at the end of the day about the Merkava tradition.
2:06:35Because I already covered with the questions at the end of the day yesterday some of
2:06:40the ideas related to the Merkava tradition, I'm just going to pass that over and
2:06:45simply say it was a particular spiritual tradition based on references in the text
2:06:50of the Old Testament that talked about the chariot of God moving through the higher
2:06:55heavens.
2:06:56That was called the Merkava, based on the route Rachev to leave one's normal place
2:07:01and travel.
2:07:02So the Merkava is the chariot of God perceived by Ezekiel in his vision and also
2:07:07described as the chariot of fire that raised Elijah to heaven when he ascended.
2:07:12Now the thing that I'm going to bring out about it now, because of course this is a
2:07:17huge mystery with many different aspects, is the description in the vision of
2:07:22Ezekiel of God's Merkava having wheels within wheels.
2:07:25What we find is that deeper esoteric knowledge is often preserved by giving
2:07:30descriptions like this, wheels within wheels, or being shown in religious
2:07:35iconography without a lot of discussion.
2:07:37So that the form of the Hebrew menorah, originally with its seven candlesticks, gave
2:07:42you a particular configuration of time, where the first is connected to the seventh,
2:07:48second to the sixth, third to the fifth, the fourth stands alone.
2:07:52So they didn't actually tell you that this is the structuring of time cycles, but
2:07:57they showed you the form of the menorah and that got passed down over time.
2:08:02Same thing with using the form of the five-pointed star, six-pointed star, crescent
2:08:07moon, all had initiation teachings, but were used externally as emblems of the
2:08:12tradition.
2:08:12So in this case, this speaking of wheels within wheels then leads to these
2:08:17literalistic interpretations, which is the death of all esotericism.
2:08:21There are literalistic, fundamentalist aspects of every religion on the planet
2:08:26today.
2:08:27At one time I thought, well, maybe not Buddhism, until I went to Japan and found out
2:08:32that there is a very fundamentalist sect of Buddhism that basically says, if you
2:08:37don't believe Buddha, you're going to burn in hell forever.
2:08:41And I thought, oh, well, okay. So, it can happen to anybody.
2:08:44But the basic idea here is that if you try to interpret all this stuff completely,
2:08:50literally, you're going to miss the esoteric teaching that's embedded within it.
2:08:55And so they show it in this drawing literally as a wheel within a wheel.
2:08:59That doesn't make a whole lot of sense as far as the actual movement of the thing in
2:09:04space. That wouldn't actually work as a wheel.
2:09:07So probably they're talking about something else as a wheel within a wheel.
2:09:12And that would be the basic concept of a vortex inside a vortex, which is a very
2:09:17real and very powerful form, both in the phenomenal world and in higher worlds.
2:09:22Because if you read the original text of the Merkava school, and some have been
2:09:27translated into English, then they make direct references to things like when they
2:09:32give the warning to the Merkava writer, they say, Beware of the flame and the
2:09:37vortex. Because they're talking about particular experiences.
2:09:41So they actually talk about the vortex very directly.
2:09:44However, the term that is often used, and sometimes instead of vortex in the
2:09:49translation, the term that is used is whirlwind.
2:09:52Whirlwind is one of the coded terms for vortex.
2:09:55In Ezekiel's vision, he talks about seeing these four wheels bearing the faces of a
2:10:00man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle.
2:10:02Related to vortices, and once again, we can recognize the four animals as the basic
2:10:07cross in the heavens and these zodiacal forces that we described the other day.
2:10:12So God appears out of the whirlwind to answer Job's anguished cries for
2:10:17understanding and enlightenment. In this rendering by William Blake.
2:10:21So again, we find in many cases the terminology of the whirlwind to describe a
2:10:26vortex movement.
2:10:27And there are schools that consider the use of the vortex, or the creation of the
2:10:32whirlwind to move consciousness and energy from one place to another place to be one
2:10:37of the greatest secrets of their schools.
2:10:40Other schools will teach you about the vortex the very first time you sit down with
2:10:45them. It all just depends on their perspective.
2:10:48Now, one thing that I like to keep in mind about this is when I was a kid, I watched
2:10:54the show called The Time Tunnel.
2:10:56And in the beginning, the guy gets sucked into the time tunnel, and he whirls upside
2:11:01down into the time tunnel.
2:11:02And I thought, man, I would love to do that, but I don't want to get whirled upside
2:11:08down. You know, it's like Mel Brooks in High Anxiety, when he does this upside down
2:11:13whirling thing. That doesn't look like much fun.
2:11:16But the reality is when you move into a vortex, you don't get whirled upside down.
2:11:21And that can be demonstrated, actually, with a simple project around a vortex in
2:11:26water.
2:11:27You take a piece of wood that will bob in the water, and you paint one end of it.
2:11:32You put it in the water, and what you're going to find is that although it whirls
2:11:37around to then enter into the center of the vortex in the water, it keeps the same
2:11:42orientation at all times. It does not turn on its central axis.
2:11:46It always keeps the same orientation.
2:11:48So that's true for anything that's being pulled into a vortex, either in this world
2:11:53or in higher worlds.
2:11:55So I was very happy when I discovered that, because I didn't want that.
2:11:59I get real dizzy on an airplane.
2:12:01This is a beautiful painting from Walter Russell, and the remarkable thing about
2:12:06Walter Russell, and Marnie actually brought a copy of what is now becoming an
2:12:11increasingly hard-to-find book, In the Wave Lies the Secret of Creation, which is a
2:12:16great collection of Walter Russell's paintings. Really a great text.
2:12:21And it's mentioned in your resource guide.
2:12:23This is one of his paintings of his visions.
2:12:26Now, because he was a natural scientist and he was also a mystic, but he was also a
2:12:31painter, he could draw his visions in a way that most people could not.
2:12:36So he could visually convey to other people what he had seen.
2:12:39Not only that, but he had an incredible capacity to use color.
2:12:43There's a classical thing that you often hear about spiritual perceptions, which is
2:12:49that the colors that you perceive in the astral world, in the higher world, are more
2:12:54powerful and vivid than any color you'll see in the physical world.
2:12:58And Walter Russell really shows that in his work.
2:13:01He's got these beautiful, luminous colors, particularly with the gold and the purple
2:13:06and the violet. And what it's showing is these different planes.
2:13:11He has particular terms that he uses for these things.
2:13:14From my perspective, these are like particular planes that are being moved through.
2:13:19And in the very center of them, a vortex is going from the center to the center to
2:13:24the center to the center of plane after plane after plane.
2:13:28And of course, what do you find in the center? You find the gold.
2:13:32And then that higher harmonic of ultraviolet, the spiritual light we talked about,
2:13:37we see that energy represented as well with the gold in the center.
2:13:41I think this is a very powerful depiction of what Russell saw directly.
2:13:46He didn't have any of these concepts in his mind.
2:13:49It was simply what he saw in his spiritual experiences.
2:13:52This is another one of the paintings that he did, again showing a vortex form with
2:13:58these golden lights moving up and up and up and through these different spaces.
2:14:03Okay? Yes, some of these are very high res and take a little while to load.
2:14:07Again, as I mentioned, Russell describes some of this phenomena in his own
2:14:12terminology related to particular things in natural science and their spiritual
2:14:17origins.
2:14:17He talks about cathode waves and anode waves, etc. But the thing is that by just
2:14:22observing the pure pattern, I found this to be a really remarkable painting of his.
2:14:28And what it basically is showing, you have these type of cubical enclosures.
2:14:32And we know about the cube as being a form for the manifestation of space and
2:14:37materialization.
2:14:38Now the thing is, as we're going to describe in a couple of days, these basic forms
2:14:44of platonic solids all have a complementary form that's the exact opposite of them
2:14:49within the sets of five. So the cube's complementary form is the octahedron.
2:14:53The octahedron is like two pyramids connected base to base.
2:14:57So that's represented here as well.
2:14:59We'll talk more about the pairing of these two later on.
2:15:03But what he shows, again, is this type of vortex movement from space to space and
2:15:08with this type of red thread connecting the center of one space to the center of the
2:15:13next space, to the center of the next space, center to center to center to center,
2:15:18as the vortex flows from one form to another form.
2:15:22Because the classical experience of this and the classical teaching, although often
2:15:27not made public in different traditions, is that it's through the vortex that one
2:15:32moves through higher worlds.
2:15:34And this becomes then a type of a map that in some traditions I've worked with they
2:15:39would call space matrix, the particular way that there is a geometric shaping of the
2:15:44configuration of worlds together and the movement through them.
2:15:48Definitely a topic of higher initiation.
2:15:51There's another very interesting text by another very gifted painter.
2:15:55The book is called Ayahuasca Visions by a South American shaman where he actually
2:16:00illustrates his, as it says, Ayahuasca Visions.
2:16:03So one part it shows here is clearing toxic energy fields from the kneeling man and
2:16:08bringing in this vortex to pull up and out and to get rid of the toxic energies in
2:16:13the field. This is a classic technique that is taught in many different traditions.
2:16:19The use of the vortex to take out the toxic energies or to bring in beneficial
2:16:24energies.
2:16:24Now I want to talk about another form that's very important in understanding the
2:16:29form of the vortex. And that is the form of the egg.
2:16:33This is a theosophical painting from the turn of the last century showing the
2:16:37incarnating human being in the egg-shaped auric field moving through the vortex to
2:16:43the point of incarnation in the mother's body.
2:16:45Interestingly enough, if you study some of the texts of the Jewish Kabbalistic
2:16:50rabbis, they say that at the moment of fertilization where the sperm meets the egg,
2:16:56they say powerful vortices shoot in from all directions to bring in the spiritual
2:17:01content for the incarnating form.
2:17:03And so I thought this was a great depiction from the theosophical tradition because
2:17:08it shows something very important.
2:17:10And that is the way that the egg-shaped form interacts with the vortex form.
2:17:15Why is there an egg-shaped aura that is moving through the vortex?
2:17:19Because the two are geometrically paired, and that egg-shaped aura is the perfect
2:17:24form to move through a vortex. So let me show you what I'm talking about.
2:17:29This particular mystery is often represented in classical text in the form of a
2:17:34serpent wound around an egg. It has various levels of interpretation.
2:17:38But one aspect that is very rarely talked about is the way that the egg-shaped form
2:17:43and the helix or vortex form naturally fit together as a pair.
2:17:47Because what the particular reality of it is, is that when you get a vortex pair
2:17:52with one vortex up here and it connects to another vortex here, and what would be
2:17:57around this?
2:17:58It would be the form of a torus, because this is the interior of a torus.
2:18:03Then you'd have the donut-shaped enclosure around it.
2:18:06The one vortex coming into the center from above and one from below meeting in that
2:18:11central point.
2:18:12This is from a particular body of work by a man named Alan Hall at the Living Water
2:18:17Trust in Britain.
2:18:18And Alan Hall at one time had worked with Maria Felsenreich, who I described earlier
2:18:24today, doing that research to help restore the natural nets in Germany after the
2:18:29Chernobyl disaster.
2:18:30Part of the work that they did brought together the geometry of the vortex and the
2:18:35egg, because they used egg-shaped forms with the minerals cast into the egg shape
2:18:40and other shapes within the toroidal compost heap to circulate the correct energy
2:18:45information over the landscape.
2:18:47The basic idea here is that if you look at the geometry of the vortex cone pair that
2:18:52fits inside the torus, you see that it is at its widest extent at the top and its
2:18:58narrowest extent at the bottom.
2:19:00Whereas for the egg, the egg is narrowest at the top and the bottom and widest in
2:19:05the center.
2:19:05So it's the exact opposite between a vortex cone pair with widest at the top and the
2:19:11bottom, narrowest in the center, and the egg, which is the exact opposite form.
2:19:16This means that the two forms are complementary, and complementary forms are meant
2:19:21to work together.
2:19:22And so there's a number of ways these things work, and one thing that they found in
2:19:27the work of Maria Felsenreich and Alan Hall of the Living Water Trust in Britain.
2:19:32I give you a citation for the book this is from.
2:19:35It's called Water, Electricity, and Health in your resource guide.
2:19:39What they found is that using an egg-shaped form, they call it a path-curve form
2:19:44because they connect this to the work that I showed you before by Lawrence Edwards,
2:19:50where I showed you the type of projective geometry path-curve forms that you see
2:19:55creating the different vortices of energy.
2:19:57So on this path-curve form they found that when the egg-shaped form has a slight
2:20:02coat of water on it, and that the water is important, but the thing is that
2:20:07everything here has a slight coat of water.
2:20:10Unless you have zero humidity, which is unlikely, there's going to be a slight coat
2:20:15of water on everything.
2:20:16But what that does is it then creates vortices around the egg-shaped form, and they
2:20:22found there are actually three pairs of vortices on the three axes of space, and
2:20:27that those vortices had vortices within vortices when they energetically analyzed
2:20:32it. And so, again, they used this egg-shaped form to create vortex energies to work
2:20:37energetically with spaces, and particularly to work with the Earth.
2:20:41These are some of the egg-shaped forms they worked with.
2:20:45So, for instance, they would have a problem in some place on the Earth where those
2:20:50vibrational nets had declined, for example.
2:20:53Then they would get the egg-shaped form with the minerals cast into that form, and
2:20:58the water on it then helped to activate the energy vortex that moved through the
2:21:03egg, and the vibrations were then carried by the vortex into the Earth, and then
2:21:08spread through the matrix of the Earth itself.
2:21:11And so they used this as a form of Earth healing.
2:21:14And if you understand this particular way of working, it's all based on the
2:21:19geometry, and it's a very important aspect of what will be the modern temple science
2:21:24of Earth healing that we're on the verge of solidifying and creating in the world
2:21:29today.
2:21:29Now, a very important aspect of this type of Earth healing work is the work of
2:21:34Victor Schauberger. Many of you are familiar with Victor Schauberger.
2:21:39This is him here on the left.
2:21:40He died in the 1950s, and information on his work was rather hard to find,
2:21:45particularly in English, until an Australian named Callum Coates came along, and he
2:21:50wrote a book called Living Energies.
2:21:53Callum Coates not only wrote the book Living Energies, which is in your resource
2:21:58guide, which is an excellent book, great summary of Schauberger's works, but he also
2:22:03translated into English Schauberger's own writings and edited them into print.
2:22:08Unfortunately, I don't know what's wrong with the publishing company that put this
2:22:13into print, but those books are hard to find.
2:22:16You can find them, though, on the Internet, and citations for them are in your
2:22:21resource guide. So let's take a look at the work of Victor Schauberger.
2:22:25Victor Schauberger was a forest warden in Austria in the first part of the last
2:22:30century, and he was the kind of person that was innately tied into nature and
2:22:35observing natural patterns.
2:22:37He was very concerned with the natural life of the forest.
2:22:40As a forest warden, it was his job to protect it.
2:22:43So what he did is he observed the natural patterns that nature used to sustain life
2:22:49within its own ecosystem, and he observed phenomena that nobody else had observed or
2:22:54at least written about before him.
2:22:56A lot of his work deals with water and how vitally important water is for all life
2:23:01on the planet.
2:23:02This is one particular chart that comes from the book Living Energies by Callum
2:23:07Coates that shows that blood plasma has 92% water. The human fetus is 90% water.
2:23:12The blood is 90% water.
2:23:14So all these different parts of the body have a tremendous amount of water in them,
2:23:19and water is really the substance of life.
2:23:21In all old esoteric teachings, they talk about the connection of water and life.
2:23:26Then in Schauberger's work, he began to look at the way that vital energies work in
2:23:32water and really in all systems through this vortex or spiral movement form.
2:23:36Again, as we said earlier today, the spiral and the vortex is nature's letter of the
2:23:42divine alphabet to move energy and consciousness from one place to another just as
2:23:47the sphere is the form to contain it.
2:23:49What Schauberger then identified as different types of spiral-vortex-helical motion,
2:23:54like orbital motion like a planet around the sun, then rotational motion, something
2:24:00on its axis, circulational motion, which is connected to the toroidal energy
2:24:04circulation that we explored, and then the way that all of these tie in together
2:24:10into a dynamic circulation system.
2:24:12He's the one that really identified these aspects of the egg and its connection to
2:24:17the vortex.
2:24:18One experiment that's described in the Schauberger-based work is that if you put an
2:24:23egg in a cylinder that's filled with water and then you just use a stirring rod to
2:24:28stir it, then when you stir it the egg will rise up because the stirring creates a
2:24:33vortex that attracts the egg to come up inside of it.
2:24:36And again, if you understand this principle, this also illuminates the principle of
2:24:42the use of the egg-shaped aura for the spiritual being to move through the vortex
2:24:47and higher worlds from one place to the next place.
2:24:50And part of this experiment is to try that with a sphere.
2:24:54So you can take a ping-pong ball rather than an egg, fill it with saline solution so
2:24:59it has the same weight and the same volume, and it doesn't rise the way the egg
2:25:04does.
2:25:04So the actual form of the egg with that dynamic that I showed you before with its
2:25:09shape allows it to rise naturally into the vortex in a way that the sphere does not.
2:25:14Now, because it was a forest warden, Schauberger did a lot of observation of nature,
2:25:20and he found that the egg shaped form was something that you find in the actual
2:25:25construction of the body of fish. And he would often say, three eggs make a fish.
2:25:30And he shows that front view of the fish is like an egg, and a side view of the fish
2:25:35is like an egg, and the top view of the fish is like an egg, because the fish has to
2:25:40move through the water and the vortices in the water.
2:25:44How does a salmon spawn upstream?
2:25:46What Schauberger demonstrated is that the salmon spawns upstream by aligning itself
2:25:51with the vortex of energy that is rising upward even though the water is falling
2:25:56downward.
2:25:57And that allows it to move right up against the force of gravity because it has the
2:26:02egg-shaped body moving in the vortex.
2:26:04Another demonstration, which is a great demonstration of this principle, is if you
2:26:09actually take an egg-shaped form and you lower it into running water, like a stream,
2:26:15you will see that as the water runs past the egg, it will then spin over the surface
2:26:20of the egg and create a vortex after it so that the egg fits in the vortex and the
2:26:25egg generates a vortex. Again, these are linked forms.
2:26:29And what Schauberger did is that he showed that the way that they had created these
2:26:34flumes to send logs down and logging operations in the woods were not effective
2:26:39because they were not shaped according to nature's design principles.
2:26:43So he reformed the flumes in such a way that they had vortices going through them
2:26:48and the logs just shot through them.
2:26:50Now he ended up regretting that because that led to widespread deforestation.
2:26:55He didn't think through the consequences of showing people that these natural forms
2:27:00would be more effective that it led to increased harvesting of the wood, which was
2:27:06heartbreaking to him. But again, it's all based on these principles.
2:27:10One of the things they began to work with is to use the form of the vortex, or for
2:27:15the egg, as things to either create alchemical energies inside of, or to generate
2:27:20energy inside of.
2:27:21Because again, both outside of an egg, with the energy running past it, like the
2:27:26water running past, that will generate a vortex.
2:27:29But also, if you get an egg-shaped form and put water inside of it, it's a natural
2:27:34form to create a vortex inside the form itself.
2:27:37So for instance, to be able to create a vortex within a substance, it's easiest to
2:27:43get a vortex going in an egg-shaped enclosure.
2:27:45So it's much easier to do it in this than something that would be round or square or
2:27:51even a cylinder.
2:27:52So that this is an egg-shaped fermentation chamber that they would use.
2:27:56And it's related to some things that you see in biodynamic agriculture, where
2:28:01they'll create vortices in the preparations before they put them on the earth to
2:28:06energetically charge them. They'll spin them one direction and create a vortex.
2:28:11Then they'll break the vortex, and they'll spin it the other direction.
2:28:16And they'll do this multiple times.
2:28:18Now there's also the aspect of using this as a way to clean water, and also as a way
2:28:23to generate energy, which was one of the projects that Schauberger was working on.
2:28:28Because one of the ideas that Schauberger had was the idea of the difference between
2:28:34explosion and implosion.
2:28:35Explosion is when you have something like dynamite, and it explodes from a center
2:28:40outwards. That's the way that all of our modern technology works.
2:28:44If you look at how your car works, it creates combustion so that there is an
2:28:49explosion inside your car, and that outward force of the explosion moves the pistons
2:28:54within the car.
2:28:55The problem with that is that explosive forces create heat, and they create
2:29:00pollution.
2:29:01They create all types of toxic byproducts, whereas the opposite of it is vortex
2:29:06energies.
2:29:06A vortex is what you get with implosion, like in a vortex movement in and of itself.
2:29:11Implosion, unlike explosion, creates almost infinite energy density in the center of
2:29:17the vortex, what they call infinite spin density.
2:29:20It is non-polluting and has a number of great benefits, one of which is that it runs
2:29:25cold. The more it runs, the colder it gets, instead of the hotter it gets.
2:29:30So he was working on forms of technology and energy generation based on implosive
2:29:35energies.
2:29:35This is described in great detail in Schauberger's works and Living Energies by
2:29:40Callum Coates and other books about Schauberger.
2:29:43Here's another illustration of the use of the egg-shaped form in Schauberger's work
2:29:49for the toroidal compost heap form.
2:29:51Another way to work with this is that the tree itself creates a toroidal energy
2:29:56circulation.
2:29:57One of the classical techniques of many traditions is that they will use trees to
2:30:02circulate energies over a larger area because of the natural toroidal shape of the
2:30:07tree. They had a particular form in Schauberger's work where they would create an
2:30:12egg-shaped compost heap around a tree and that in itself is round like a coil and a
2:30:17vortex so that it brings in from the negative end the vortex here and shoots it out
2:30:22very powerfully out the other side.
2:30:25There's all types of different dynamics in it where it has this type of caduceus
2:30:30winding in the center and there's a set of three coils going around here, a set of
2:30:35seven coils going around here, all kinds of different things happening in it.
2:30:40So particularly in Theosophical work you find all types of references to this
2:30:44particular pattern.
2:30:46One thing I've been looking for for some time is somebody ready to take on the
2:30:51challenge of making this pattern in metal because you've seen the types of things
2:30:56that Slim Sperling makes.
2:30:57Well, to make this in metal would be quite an undertaking but I'd love to have that
2:31:02as something stabilized to begin to test the energetics of it.
2:31:06But it's quite a powerful form and the Theosophists describe it in two different
2:31:11forms, a positive and a negative form that has two opposite spin directions like
2:31:16this.
2:31:17So with the Babbitt you tend just to see the one but in some other places you tend
2:31:22to see both forms of the positive and negative.
2:31:25Now I wanted to show you this as another painting coming from that Ayahuasca Visions
2:31:30book where it showed this helical movement with these different spiritual, magical
2:31:35beings that the shaman worked with and perceived moving on this spiral movement
2:31:40upward because this is something that's described in many spiritual traditions and
2:31:45many spiritual texts.
2:31:47I've had Egyptians describe it to me related to particular hidden locations in the
2:31:52Middle East that have been known for thousands of years to have vortices of energy
2:31:57that they describe as having angelic beings rise up on and because of that they
2:32:02never publicize these locations.
2:32:04The basic idea of it is that just like we saw with the 7x7 spiral before with the
2:32:09work of Itzhak Bentov that these are vortex, spiral, helix movements upward that
2:32:14have spiritual forces riding on them connecting heaven and earth.
2:32:18Very common model in many traditions.
2:32:21And there's another one from the book Ayahuasca Visions that I was very interested
2:32:26to see because along with the other wild stuff that he illustrates seeing, he showed
2:32:31this particular form.
2:32:32This is a kind of energetic vehicle that certain beings that would visit him would
2:32:38be inside of.
2:32:38And I realized that it was a depiction of something that is described in older
2:32:43occult texts, but most people today have forgotten it ever existed.
2:32:47And that is something that you find in older occult texts that they call the astral
2:32:53bell. The astral bell is another form of the astral body.
2:32:56Along with the star tetrahedron and along with the egg-shaped aura there is this
2:33:01bell-shaped form that you find in older occult texts being described as moving
2:33:06through astral space and having this resonant aspect because of the bell shape to
2:33:11it. But it's the only illustration I've ever seen in any text that actually show you the
2:33:17astral bell, although he doesn't use that name for it.
2:33:20They have a particular name in Portuguese where he comes from for it.
2:33:25And I guess that is the end of the presentation for today.
2:33:28So if I get the lights turned on, I'll take any quick questions or comments people
2:33:33have before we cut you loose. Yes, please. Oh, God. The occult permanent atom.
2:33:38Aye, aye, aye.
2:33:39Well, a quick summary on the occult permanent atom is that, according to many
2:33:44theosophical teachings, the occult permanent atom is the core of the human being
2:33:49that exists between multiple incarnations.
2:33:52It's where the core information and content of the person is stored in the occult
2:33:57permanent atom.
2:33:58So again, you study different theosophical texts, they will talk about this.
2:34:03From the perspective of other teachers, including Steiner's perspective, is that
2:34:08there are matrices of energy that preserve content of the individual and that the
2:34:13individual use as vehicles of movement in higher worlds.
2:34:16But Steiner himself opposed the use of the term the occult permanent atom because he
2:34:21felt that it gave people the impression of something material that held the essence
2:34:27of the person.
2:34:28And that was related to the way that in science at that time, because this is from
2:34:33theosophy around the turn of the century, according to reductionist science, the
2:34:38essence of everything is in the atom.
2:34:40And so their idea of the atom to begin with was very material, something material as
2:34:45an atom.
2:34:46And so what he was concerned with was that people would get the idea of the occult
2:34:51permanent atom as something that's a solid material thing that goes from place to
2:34:56place and incarnation to incarnation.
2:34:58Because we already have a huge tendency in our culture for something that the
2:35:03Rosicrucians critique as occult materialism.
2:35:06Occult materialism is the widespread tendency today to want to think of purely
2:35:11spiritual phenomena in completely materialistic terms.
2:35:14And so if we look at something like an evolution process, how did spiritual
2:35:19evolution take place, it can sometimes get reduced to physical beings in metal
2:35:24spacecraft doing physical DNA splicing.
2:35:26Well, whether that happened or not, it doesn't explain where things came from.
2:35:31Because those people in the craft had to come from somewhere.
2:35:35And at some point, it can't be turtles all the way down.
2:35:39Something had to be spiritual that made it happen in the first place.
2:35:43So this tendency to want to always give causation and look at everything spiritual
2:35:48as being material was the problem that he saw with the occult permanent atom.
2:35:53That in fact it has to do more with this archetypal level of the matrix energy and
2:35:58not as something inherently material. Any other questions or comments? Yes, please.
2:36:06Speaker 2: With regard to chakras, there are energy centers in our body, and I assume they're
2:36:12vortex-oriented.
2:36:13And there's ways of opening them up, clearing them out, and energizing them.
2:36:19You can feel them dynamically before and after a situation.
2:36:23So you literally can put your hand on top of them or near them and just direct your
2:36:30energy with your hand in a counter-clockwise fashion, and it seems to clear them
2:36:36out. And you go back and you energize it simply with a clockwise process.
2:36:42Now, you can also accelerate it with a use of a crystal.
2:36:46Now, could you explain how does the counter-clockwise movement, is it actually
2:36:52getting in there and creating an opposite vortex of what it normally would go in,
2:36:58and it's clearing things out?
2:37:00And then how does the crystal actually accelerate the whole process?
2:37:06Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: This is the most common model that you find in North America to work with drawing
2:37:10energy out and putting energy in, either with a vortex or generally.
2:37:14It's the most common North American model.
2:37:17But again, the clockwise movement is associated with bringing energy into an inward
2:37:22direction, directing it into the body.
2:37:24And so the counter-clockwise is the opposite, it's the drawing out, like what we saw
2:37:29with Ayahuasca visions where he created the vortex to pull the energy that was
2:37:34detrimental out of the body, and then again it would be inverted, so the clockwise
2:37:39brings it beneficially into the body.
2:37:41And so it basically is the function in this case of the polarity of the directions
2:37:46is then applied for one is for extraction and one is for bringing in.
2:37:50Now, it doesn't mean that it necessarily always has to be that way.
2:37:54It might be that you could use the opposite directional spins for opposite
2:37:59applications, but it's always easier to teach a process according to one particular
2:38:04way to do it, and that way works.
2:38:05So it's very commonly taught, that particular method, counter-clockwise to extract,
2:38:10clockwise to take in.
2:38:12This can also be connected to the concept that we have in the Egyptian biogeometry,
2:38:17which I know you haven't taken yet, but in the Egyptian biogeometry it's described
2:38:22that clockwise movements bring things into manifestation, counter-clockwise takes
2:38:26things out of manifestation, which is why in places where a spiritual process is
2:38:31being done they'll sometimes move counter-clockwise to take a certain activity.
2:38:36But with that idea that then in bringing something into manifestation is clockwise,
2:38:41taking it out is counter-clockwise.
2:38:43Use of the crystal has to do with using a particular substance whose matrix is a
2:38:48natural energy amplifier.
2:38:49It will take an external frequency and keep the frequency information clean while
2:38:54amplifying it to a higher state.
2:38:56So particularly in the work of Marcel Vogel, who did all this fantastic work on
2:39:01crystals, he was the guy at IBM who actually got the patent for liquid crystal
2:39:06displays, and he then was walking on the beach one day, and he says that he
2:39:10encountered Christ on the beach, and like he fell to his knees at a spiritual
2:39:15opening, and the rest of his life he devoted to spiritual research.
2:39:19And Marcel Vogel, starting in the 1980s, really popularized the use of crystals for
2:39:24healing in the U.S.
2:39:25Vogel died in the early 1990s, but you can still find on the Internet places that
2:39:30sell videotapes and audiotapes of him, and he was probably the most interesting and
2:39:35most advanced crystal healer and theorist in North America.
2:39:38He developed a particular system of using crystals where he saw the crystal that was
2:39:43double terminated as being an image of the tree of life.
2:39:47And he could then have particular master people working with the crystal who had
2:39:51sculpted it into a type of tree of life pattern, four-sided or eight-sided or
2:39:56twelve-sided, and had particular harmonics that they would test to make sure that
2:40:01once they finished crafting the crystal, a double terminated crystal, it had the
2:40:06same energy vibratory rate as pure water has.
2:40:08And then it became a pure tool for working in the person's energy field.
2:40:13So the essential aspect of working with the crystal is that it allows whatever
2:40:17energy you are working with to be stepped up multiple times.
2:40:21There's a crystalline matrix inside the crystal that can naturally be applied for
2:40:26this type of energy intensification process.
2:40:28The same thing is true on points of the Earth where native peoples would erect a
2:40:33quartz-bearing stone on a power center to help move the energy quality of that power
2:40:38center over a larger area.
2:40:40And one other thing that Marcel Vogel would do is he would go through a particular
2:40:45process where he would use the point of the crystal to hook into detrimental energy
2:40:50in the body and to literally extract it like a hook.
2:40:53And he had particular processes he would use, like he would make a strong exhalation
2:40:58through the nose when he did any energetic work.
2:41:01Because he wanted to pulse energy through the crystal at the time that he worked
2:41:05with it.
2:41:06And he also found that it was often very important to work around people's thymus
2:41:11gland.
2:41:11He found very often that there would be detrimental energies out of the thymus gland
2:41:16that he would hook out and take out of their bodies.
2:41:19So that's the basic idea of the crystal. The BG3 energy?
2:41:23The BG3 energy is definitely an energy that can be put through and amplified through
2:41:28crystalline forms.
2:41:29Actually, crystals are kind of a universal donor because they can amplify virtually
2:41:34any type of energy quality.
2:41:35But with BG3, a kind of universal donor of its own, of being this core balancing
2:41:40energy, the two can definitely work together very powerfully.
2:41:44And because every spiritual power center on earth has BG3 energy, when the native
2:41:49people would put the stone there, they are using the crystal in coordination to
2:41:53amplify BG3 emanations. Yes, please.
2:41:56Speaker 6: You showed in one of your slides how about this arrow, and where the arrow may be
2:42:02moved to the left or to the right, it can tell the degrees of what emotional state
2:42:08the person is in. What is the reference those can go to to learn more about that?
2:42:15Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: The only one that I know of that's commonly available is the book The Catalyst of
2:42:19Power.
2:42:19The Catalyst of Power is by a man named John, J-O-N, Whale, like a whale in the sea.
2:42:24So John Whale's Catalyst of Power is the main textbook that really talks about this.
2:42:29I believe that there is a Native American teacher named Harley Swift Deer, and if
2:42:34you put Harley Swift Deer into a search engine, you might come up with some of the
2:42:38information of how he works with the assemblage point.
2:42:41But the primary reference would be the work of John Whale in The Catalyst of Power.
2:42:46He goes into a lot of detail there. He actually does this clinically in England.
2:42:51But his book is definitely going to be the one with the most illustrations and the
2:42:55most technical descriptions.
2:42:57Most other stuff, to be honest, like the books of Castaneda, most of the stuff is
2:43:02anecdotal, like so-and-so did such-and-such, but I won't tell you really how to do
2:43:06it. Okay, last one.
2:43:10Speaker 7: I can't get around the shower.
2:43:12Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: Yeah?
2:43:15Speaker 7: All this work is in some vault in Texas held by industrious who won't release this
2:43:20material about the ability to generate energy through an implosive effect.
2:43:24What does that mean?
2:43:26Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: Oh, well, the thing is that the stuff that had been published before in Germany is
2:43:30available now through Callum Coates.
2:43:33So Callum Coates' book on living energies gives many of the basic concepts from the
2:43:38work of Schauberger.
2:43:39And then he translated the earlier works of Schauberger into English as well, and
2:43:44those are also listed in your resource guide.
2:43:47That is a foundation for how we could begin to work with the implosive technology
2:43:51again.
2:43:52Also, Schauberger's son, who is described in the book Living Energies, works with a
2:43:57particular group in Germany to take that work further. Because as far as...
2:44:01Again, there are certain things that Schauberger had done for the Nazis that he then
2:44:06wouldn't talk about afterwards having to do with levity forces.
2:44:10But the aspect of it with home generation, basically the basic information on that
2:44:15and the patents for it were all controlled by this particular group that took them
2:44:20to Texas.
2:44:21So a lot of the information about the use of this for home generation of electrical
2:44:26energy isn't really available.
2:44:28But the keys to it are still in Schauberger's earlier works, which are available.
2:44:35Speaker 7: So that patent is held by some company in Texas, is that right?
2:44:40Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: Yeah, basically the rights to it are held by these people.
2:44:43But again, it's one of those things they didn't buy it to use it.
2:44:47They hardly even buy it. They more blackmailed it. What's that?
2:44:50Well, you can certainly find connections between some of these interests.
2:44:54There's a reason why Texas is involved, I'm sure.
2:44:57But there's descriptions of this in Callum Coates' book on Living Energies.
2:45:01But the same thing has happened before.
2:45:04You know that Nazis in World War II ran out of oil reserves, so they started
2:45:08creating synthetic petroleum.
2:45:09And then after World War II, what happened to the synthetic petroleum?
2:45:13There's particular interests that don't want that coming out.
2:45:17They got the rights to it. You don't see it after that.
2:45:20But again, there's enough information about Schauberger's work with the implosion
2:45:25energy that there's still a lot available there.
2:45:27But we don't have a plan that you could take home right now and build one in your
2:45:32backyard.
2:45:34Speaker 3: But the basic principles are there, and that's what he was applying. Yes, I have.
2:46:00Dr. Robert J. Gilbert: They definitely do exist.
2:46:01As you might imagine, many people that are involved once it actually becomes
2:46:05successful are very circumspect about talking about it publicly because of some of
2:46:09the track record of this sort of thing.
2:46:11But yes, I have seen it, and there is some remarkable stuff out there.
