Source 2: Itzhak Bentov's Stalking The Wild Pendulum

The core material for our review is drawn from Itzhak Bentov’s book, Stalking The Wild Pendulum: On The Mechanics of Consciousness, which presents a comprehensive theoretical construct regarding consciousness and reality. The author, Itzhak Bentov, described himself as an intuitive inventor who used his regular practice of meditation to design experiential journeys into the microcosm and macrocosm of the universe, resulting in this book. The purpose of this work is to build a holistic model of the universe that encompasses not only the physical world observed by astronomers but also emotional, mental, and intuitive components, which are persuaded to be "realities" themselves. The phenomena that are currently classified as "unexplained," such as telepathy, psychokinesis (moving objects by mind power), clairvoyance, and out-of-body experiences, are intended to be explained by revealing the general underlying principles governing them.

Vibration, Matter, and Reality

The foundation of the model relies on understanding that our whole reality is a vibratory reality, based on periodic change, or "sound". When physical matter is highly magnified, the objective reality is revealed to consist mostly of void (vacuum) permeated by pulsating, oscillating electromagnetic fields. Even the densest matter, like the atom’s nucleus, dissolves upon closer inspection into a vortex of pulsating fields.

A fundamental building block of this reality is the concept of standing waves. A structure in resonance—vibrating at its natural frequency—will sustain a standing wave, which divides the medium into an integral number of half-wavelengths, creating points of minimum motion known as nodes. Utilizing sound, one can introduce order where previously there was none, suggesting that crystalline structures may result from the interaction of sound waves in matter.

The concept of holography is crucial, as the universe employs it for information storage. A hologram is essentially an interference pattern of waves. Information waves must exhibit coherency, meaning they move "in step" in even, flat fronts, allowing a beam to remain narrow over great distances. Additionally, the superposition of two differing frequencies creates a much slower beat frequency, which is a useful mechanism for converting high frequencies to low ones.

The Human Body and Consciousness

The human sensory system translates objective reality into a Morse code of action and rest—oscillating electrical states, such as spikes fired by sensory nerve cells—which the brain then uses to construct our subjective reality. When magnification of the body is applied, it is seen as an interference pattern of waves changing with time, making us a four-dimensional hologram. The core principle is that tangible reality exists only through change or motion; a state of perpetual rest means no perceptible reality.

The body behaves like an oscillator or pendulum. At the pendulum's point of rest, classical mechanics breaks down, and the movement shifts to nearly infinite velocity. This phenomenon implies the temporary disappearance of matter. Because atoms vibrate at speeds up to $10^{15}$ Hz, it is suggested that matter is blinking off and on at this rate.

During meditation, the physiological mechanism involves the heart-aorta system becoming a resonant system. This causes the body to move harmoniously and coherently at its natural frequency, approximately 7 cycles per second (Hz.). This state of resonant motion couples the vibrating, charged body well to the planet's electrostatic field, allowing the emission of a simple harmonic motion or a "sound" of approximately 7 Hz.. This signal can then influence or entrain others, potentially conveying a telepathic signal due to the long wavelength that bypasses obstacles and does not attenuate over long distances.

The Psyche, Space-Time, and Reality Spectrum

The general underlying principle for all "unexplained" phenomena is an altered state of consciousness. The author postulates a "psyche" or "observer"—the nonmaterial, information-processing entity containing personality, intellect, and intuition—that exists independent of the physical body. The psyche is organized energy and information accumulated over a lifetime, which will eventually be absorbed into the "universal mind," Nature's large information-storage hologram.

When the body oscillates and comes to rest, the nonphysical observer expands at almost infinite speeds into the spacelike dimension. Movement at almost infinite speed results in omnipresence, allowing the observer to fill all space, which is paradoxically equivalent to a higher state of rest or being.

In altered states of consciousness, the subjective time-space coordinates separate and rotate away from objective coordinates. This rotation causes subjective time to stretch enormously; if the subjective time axis becomes horizontal, subjective time becomes infinitely long, utilizing no objective time. This stretching of subjective time allows the observer to function in an expanded subjective space. For the clairvoyant, subjective space is converted into objective time, allowing travel through the past or into the future, although predictions remain vague due to human free will. The level of consciousness index is defined by the ratio of subjective time divided by objective time.

The nervous system’s development (expansion of consciousness) enables interaction with the full spectrum of realities. This spectrum ranges from the mineral reality (lowest consciousness, no growth) up through plant reality (growth, life, adaptation) and animal reality (broader emotions, freedom of movement) to the human and higher spiritual levels. The foundation of this spectrum is the dichotomy between the absolute (pure consciousness, nonvibratory state, eternal reference line) and the relative (manifest, changing reality). Everything is composed of both components, though some beings are more "relative" than others.

The higher bodies—astral, mental, causal, and spiritual—are equated with higher harmonics of the physical body, forming energy fields that interpenetrate and extend beyond the physical body (seen as auras by clairvoyants). The brain acts as a computer terminal that processes sensory input, but it is not the source of thought. Thought originates as tiny impulses implanted by these subtle bodies, which the brain amplifies into recognizable thoughts.

Cosmology and the Creator

The proposed cosmological model shifts from the traditional concentric "big bang" to a continuous big-bang model patterned after a jet-emitting quasar. This jet of matter, constituting our space-time, flows outward, slows down, expands into a mushroom shape, and eventually falls back toward its source due to gravitational pull. The structure forms an elongated hollow torus with a nucleus at its center. This nucleus is a black hole-white hole object. Matter is squeezed and homogenized as it enters the black hole, reappearing from the white hole side as the primordial fireball ready for a new evolutionary cycle.

An inner torus of protospace (the original ground substance or "jelly") is trapped within the outer envelope of matter. This protospace is the unchanging, eternal background consistent with the description of the absolute.

Crucially, while light is confined to the path of matter, our psyches can travel through the inner protospace torus. Our psyches expand periodically at infinite velocities into this space, forming an information hologram with all other consciousnesses in the universe. This collective information hologram is the Universal Mind, providing instant access to all knowledge ever generated in this universe, available to those who can extend their subjective time within it.

The creation starts when the Creator (pure consciousness and intelligence) defines His boundaries with a sheath of light and polarizes positive and negative protomatter. This leads to a massive electrical discharge (the first "sound"). The flow of this protomatter outlines the volume of our time-space. The Creator’s goal is the evolution of consciousness, using opposing forces (such as good and evil) as a catalyst to stimulate interactions. Knowledge, structured in consciousness, is freely available in the universe to anyone making the effort to take it.

Stresses and the Body (Appendix)

The appendix describes the need to address stress accumulated in the body (emotional stresses imprinted on the physical body), which creates "noise" and limits the potential for developing higher states of consciousness. Meditation helps by converting and eliminating these stress patterns, often through involuntary body movements.

A specific problem addressed is the Physio-Kundalini Syndrome, also known as the Progressive Sensory-Motor Cortex Syndrome. This syndrome is associated with the accelerated evolution of the nervous system. It involves a stimulus, triggered by heart sounds causing acoustical standing waves in the brain's ventricles, which then moves along the sensory cortex. The path of this stimulus corresponds closely to the anatomical layout of points on the sensory and motor cortices known as the homunculus.

The ultimate function of the fully operating Kundalini circuit is to unite the cerebrospinal and autonomic nervous systems, allowing for possible control over functions normally considered involuntary, like heart rate and respiration. Kundalini acts as a powerful stress-relieving system, preventing permanent stress accumulation. However, spontaneous development of this syndrome, without gradual systematic evolution afforded by meditation, can overwhelm individuals, leading to confusion between realities and potential misdiagnosis as schizophrenia.

According to the provided text, how does a hologram store information about an object?

It stores the information in a single, concentrated point at the center of the photographic plate.

Information is stored in an interference pattern created by two coherent light beams, distributed across the entire medium.

The information is encoded magnetically in microscopic particles within the photographic emulsion.

It stores the information as a direct, two-dimensional image on the photographic plate.

Stalking The Wild Pendulum: A Briefing on the Mechanics of Consciousness

Executive Summary

This document provides a comprehensive synthesis of the model of the universe and consciousness presented in Itzhak Bentov's Stalking the Wild Pendulum. The central thesis posits that all of reality, from the subatomic to the cosmic, is fundamentally vibratory in nature. Matter is not solid but a complex interference pattern of oscillating energy fields—a manifestation of consciousness itself.

The model proposes a holistic framework where consciousness is not an emergent property of complex systems but the foundational substance of all matter. It evolves along a continuous spectrum of realities—mineral, plant, animal, human, and extending into non-physical realms (astral, mental, causal, spiritual)—culminating in a universal, undifferentiated state referred to as "the Absolute."

A key concept is the distinction between objective and subjective time. In altered states of consciousness, such as deep meditation, subjective time can be expanded infinitely relative to objective time. This allows a non-physical aspect of the self, termed "the observer" or "psyche," to operate in a "spacelike" dimension, unbound by the speed of light. This mechanism is presented as the basis for phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and intuitive knowledge.

Cosmologically, the text puts forth a model of a continuous "big bang" universe shaped like a torus (an ovoid or donut shape). Matter emerges from a central "white hole," travels along the outer shell of the torus in an evolutionary cycle, and eventually collapses back into a "black hole" at the nucleus, ready to be recycled into a new universal cycle. All consciousnesses within this universe periodically expand into an inner torus of "protospace," creating a holographic interference pattern—the "universal mind"—which contains all knowledge and serves as the source for intuitive insight. The evolution of consciousness can trigger profound physiological changes, detailed as the "Physio-kundalini Syndrome," a process of stress-release and nervous system refinement.

1. The Vibratory Nature of Reality

The foundational premise of the model is that the universe is composed of sound, waves, and vibration. All phenomena, from the smallest action to the largest cosmic process, are periodic and generate waves that propagate through various fields, influencing the entire system.

Key Concepts of Vibration

• Standing Waves: When a structure vibrates at a natural or resonant frequency, it develops standing waves—patterns with fixed points of minimum motion (nodes) and areas of maximum motion. This principle is illustrated by patterns formed by sand on a vibrating metal plate and is suggested as the organizing principle behind the crystalline structure of matter.

• Interference Patterns: When two or more waves are superposed, they create an interference pattern. This can be constructive (amplitudes add up) or destructive (amplitudes cancel out). This concept is central to the model's understanding of reality as a complex interaction of energy fields.

• Beat Frequencies: The superposition of two slightly different high frequencies produces a third, much slower "beat" frequency. This mechanism is proposed as a way Nature converts high-frequency energies into the lower-frequency waves that constitute physical matter.

• Holography: A hologram is an interference pattern that stores three-dimensional information. The text uses the analogy of ripples from pebbles in a pan of water to explain its key property: every part of the hologram contains information about the whole. This is presented as Nature's primary information-storage method, evident in everything from the genetic code in a single cell to the "universal mind."

• Coherency: For stable interference patterns and effective information transfer, waves must be coherent—that is, moving in-phase or "in step," like the light from a laser. Coherent systems are highly ordered.

• Resonance and Rhythm Entrainment: Oscillators tuned to the same or similar frequencies can transfer energy optimally (resonance) and tend to lock into a single, unified rhythm (rhythm entrainment). Examples range from pendulum clocks on a wall syncing up to fireflies blinking in unison. This principle governs interactions from the biological to the planetary scale.

2. The Composition of Reality: From Microcosm to Macrocosm

An exploration of matter through a metaphorical "supermicroscope" reveals that solid reality dissolves into a vast, empty space permeated by oscillating energy fields. This microreality is the true foundation of our physical world.

• Matter as Oscillating Fields: At high magnification, seemingly solid tissues like muscle and bone are revealed to be highly ordered, crystalline arrays of molecules, atoms, and ultimately, pulsating energy fields. The "real reality" is a void filled with a vast, interlocked web of interacting fields.

• Interconnectedness through Fields: This matrix of fields is constantly influenced by external energies, including electric, magnetic, gravitational, and acoustic fields. Human bodies are shown to be highly sensitive to natural fields, such as the gravitational pull of the moon, and the planet's electrostatic field.

• The Body as a Resonant System: The human body itself is an oscillator. The heartbeat produces a micromotion of approximately 6.8 to 7.5 cycles per second (Hz). During deep meditation or when breathing is held, the heart-aorta system becomes a resonant system, and the body's motion becomes a coherent, sine-wave pattern at around 7 Hz.

• Resonance with the Planet: This frequency of ~7.5 Hz corresponds to the resonant frequency of the Earth-ionosphere cavity. This suggests that in meditative states, the human being enters into resonance with the planet's electrostatic field. This creates a highly efficient coupling, allowing signals to travel around the globe and forming a potential medium for telepathic communication. The signal from meditating bodies can entrain others, strengthening the global resonant "sound."

3. The Nature of Consciousness and Its Spectrum of Realities

The model defines consciousness as an intrinsic property of all matter, not merely a byproduct of biological complexity. It exists in varying degrees of quantity and quality, forming a continuous spectrum of realities.

• Quantity and Quality of Consciousness:

◦ Quantity: Defined as the capacity of a system to respond to stimuli. This property exists in all matter, from an atom to a human.

◦ Quality: Defined by the range and refinement of those responses, expressed in terms of frequency response. Higher quality equates to greater intelligence and a broader range of interaction.

• A Spectrum of Realities: The universe is composed of a hierarchy of realities, each corresponding to a specific band of consciousness quality (frequency response). These include:

◦ Mineral, Plant, and Animal Realities: These levels possess consciousness, with increasing complexity, interaction, and freedom of will.

◦ Human Reality: The normal waking state, tuned to a specific frequency band.

◦ Astral (Emotional) Reality: The reality experienced during dreaming, dominated by emotion.

◦ Mental Reality: A level where the balanced mind and the pursuit of knowledge are dominant.

◦ Causal (Intuitive) Reality: A level where knowledge is received non-linearly, in holistic "chunks." This is the source of creative insight.

◦ Spiritual Realities: The highest levels of evolution, bordering on the Absolute, characterized by total control over Nature and a direct understanding of cosmic principles.

• Energy-Exchange Curves: Each reality is associated with a bell-shaped curve representing its inhabitants' ability to interact with the environment. The peak of the curve denotes the reality of maximum interaction. These curves overlap, allowing for communication and influence across different realities (e.g., humans interacting with animals, or astral entities influencing the physical world).

• The Absolute: The source and sum total of all consciousness in the universe. It is a state of pure being, infinite potential energy, and intelligence. It functions as the ultimate, non-vibrating reference baseline against which all manifest (vibrating) realities are measured. Matter is described not as containing consciousness, but as being a vibrating aspect of the Absolute's pure consciousness.

4. Objective vs. Subjective Reality: The "Observer" and Time

A central element of the model is the distinction between objective, clock-based time and subjective, experiential time. This distinction provides a mechanism for understanding paranormal phenomena and the expansion of consciousness.

• The Relativity of Time: An experiment involving watching a clock's second hand while in a deep state of visualization demonstrates that subjective time can be slowed or stopped relative to objective time. This occurs in altered states of consciousness, including meditation, hypnosis, and dreaming.

• The "Observer" (Psyche): The entity that correlates sensory information is a non-physical "observer," or psyche (also called the soul). In altered states, this observer can temporarily dissociate from the physical body, or be "out of the body."

• Spacelike vs. Timelike Dimensions: Using a space-time diagram, reality is divided into two domains:

◦ Timelike: The normal physical universe, where travel is limited by the speed of light.

◦ Spacelike: A domain where speeds exceed that of light, approaching infinite velocity. In this state, an entity becomes omnipresent.

• Expansion of Consciousness: In an altered state, one's subjective space-time coordinates rotate relative to the objective coordinates. As subjective time expands, the observer's behavior becomes increasingly "spacelike." This expansion of consciousness is a literal expansion into space at superluminal speeds.

• Mechanism of the "Blink": All matter, being composed of oscillators, exists in a constant cycle of action and rest. At the two points of rest in each cycle, when momentum is precisely zero, the object's position becomes indefinite according to the uncertainty principle. During these infinitesimally brief moments, the observer expands into the spacelike dimension and then collapses back. This "blinking" happens continuously (e.g., ~14 times per second for the body's micromotion), but we are normally unaware of it. In a trained state, one can extend the duration of the "out" phase, allowing for conscious experience in other realities.

5. A Model of the Universe

The text proposes a cosmological model of a continuous, self-recycling universe that accommodates the principles of consciousness and evolution.

• The Continuous Big Bang: In contrast to a single, explosive big bang, this model proposes a continuous process patterned after a quasar. A central nucleus, a paired black hole/white hole, ejects a jet of matter.

• The Toroidal Universe: This jet of matter expands, slows due to gravity, and eventually folds back on itself, forming a hollow, ovoid shape—a torus. Matter flows from the white hole, around the outer shell, and back into the black hole.

◦ Phase I & II: Matter is ejected, cools, forms galaxies, and expands to a point of maximum extension.

◦ Phase III, IV, & V: The flow reverses, and matter begins falling back toward the nucleus, eventually colliding and being drawn into the black hole.

• Time as Distance: In this model, "time" is not a separate flow but is a measure of the distance matter has traveled along the evolutionary path of the torus. The full cycle represents all the time in this universe.

• Protospace and the Universal Mind: The hollow center of the torus contains "protospace," a remnant of the absolute, pre-creation state. Light is confined to the matter-filled shell and cannot cross this inner void. However, the non-physical "observers" can and do expand into this protospace during their periodic "blinks." The interference pattern created by all expanding consciousnesses in the universe forms a holographic field of information within this inner torus, which is identified as the universal mind. This is the mechanism for instantaneous, non-local communication and the source of all intuitive knowledge.

• "As Above, So Below": This cosmic toroidal structure is mirrored on the microscale in the organizing electromagnetic fields of living things, such as seeds and eggs, which guide their development.

6. The Creator and the Purpose of Evolution

The model culminates in a description of the Creator and the ultimate purpose of the cosmos.

• The Creator's Process: The Creator is an individualized consciousness that separates itself from the infinite void (the Absolute). Its primary goal is to know itself. To do this, it establishes the laws of Nature and evolution to refine consciousness from simple matter into beings that can mirror its own attributes.

• Event Matrices: The Creator embeds "event matrices" within space-time. These are fields that stimulate certain tendencies (e.g., war, peace) in susceptible populations as they pass through them, guiding the overall flow of evolution while still allowing for free will.

• The Goal of Evolution: Evolution is the built-in urge pushing all matter toward higher complexity and consciousness. The ultimate aim is for a consciousness to evolve to the point where it becomes a "double" of the Creator, thus allowing the Creator to fully know itself. Once this is achieved, the creation is reabsorbed into the Absolute.

• The Higher Self: The highest component of a human being is the "higher self," a direct "chip off the old block" of the Creator. This entity guides the psyche (soul) through its lifetimes of experience to facilitate its evolution.

7. The Physio-kundalini Syndrome: A Model for Accelerated Evolution

The appendix details a physiological model for the sometimes-dramatic symptoms that can accompany an accelerated evolution of the nervous system, whether triggered by meditation or occurring spontaneously.

• Kundalini as a Stress-Release Mechanism: The process, known in esoteric literature as the awakening of "kundalini," is described as a powerful, natural mechanism for releasing deep-seated physical and emotional stresses from the body.

• Proposed Physiological Mechanism: The model proposes that the rhythmic ~7 Hz motion of the body in a resonant state creates acoustical standing waves in the fluid-filled cerebral ventricles of the brain. These vibrations stimulate the adjacent sensory cortex.

• The Homunculus Path: This stimulation spreads sequentially along the homunculus—the map of the body on the sensory cortex. This explains the characteristic progression of symptoms, which typically begin in the left foot/toes, move up the left leg, up the spine, over the head, and down the front of the body.

• Symptoms: Physical symptoms can include tingling, cramps, heat, involuntary movements, pressures in the head, and temporary paralysis. Psychological symptoms can include altered states, ecstatic feelings, and disorientation. In spontaneous cases where the individual is unprepared, the experience can mimic schizophrenia, leading to potential misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

• Significance: This process is presented not as a pathology but as a manifestation of an advanced evolutionary process, a "purification of the nervous system" that allows it to handle higher levels of energy and consciousness.

The provided excerpts are from Itzhak Bentov's book, "Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness," which proposes a holistic model of the universe and consciousness. The author seeks to bridge the gap between science and spirituality by exploring concepts like vibrational frequencies, sound and wave phenomena, and holographic reality as they relate to consciousness. Bentov develops a theoretical "model of the universe" and a hierarchy of "relative realities"—from mineral to spiritual—where matter evolves toward an "absolute" state of pure consciousness. The text also investigates phenomena like time dilation in altered states and the physio-kundalini syndrome, suggesting that these concepts can be understood through the lens of physics and vibration.

1. The accumulation of knowledge is a continuous process, making it difficult to decide when to stop writing3....

I have decided to start writing at my present level of ignorance simply because the circumstances forced me to do so3....

It is certain that I could describe many things better and add many new ideas if I were to start this book two or three years from now3....

2. One’s level of ignorance increases exponentially with accumulated knowledge3....

For example, when one acquires a bit of new information, there are many new questions that are generated by it, and each new piece of information breeds five or ten new questions5....

The more one knows, therefore, the greater his level of ignorance5....

II. The book aims to build a comprehensive, holistic model of the universe9.... 3. The model attempts to satisfy the need for a comprehensive picture of existence9....

A holistic model encompasses not only the physical, observable universe that is our immediate environment and the distant universe observed by our astronomers but also other “realities” as well9....

Normally, we do not consider the emotional, mental, and intuitive components of our beings as “realities”9....

4. Unexplained phenomena can be accounted for by understanding underlying principles9....

The phenomena that we call “unexplained,” like psychokineses (the moving of an object with the power of the mind), telepathy, out-of-body phenomena, clairvoyance, etc., can all be explained once we know the general underlying principles governing them9....

The general underlying principle in all the phenomena mentioned above is an altered state of consciousness13....

III. Reality is perceived through a narrow, sequential viewpoint15.... 5. Most people view the universe through a limited perspective, seeing only one "color" or reality15....

Most of us see the universe through a tiny window, which allows us to see just a single color, or reality, out of the endless spectrum of realities15....

Viewing our universe through this tiny window forces us to see the world in a sequential form, that is, as events that follow each other in time15....

6. The concept of a model implies a theoretical construct that organizes known facts1516.

A good model will also allow the prediction of the behavior of elements or components of this structure1516.

Also, it is nice to have a model that does not violate any presently accepted physical laws, so as not to step on anyone’s toes or cause any hassles1518.

IV. The experimenter's consciousness affects the outcome of an experiment1920. 7. The quantum theory suggests that the consciousness of the experimenter interacts with the experiment itself1920.

Therefore, it becomes possible that the attitude of the experimenter must also influence the outcome of any particular experiment1920.

The problem is what consciousness is, because unless it is accounted for and described, it will always put an experiment in doubt1920.

V. The author lacks formal academic background but maintains an "unspoiled" mind17.... 8. The author was expelled from kindergarten and never resumed normal studies17....

So my mind has remained blank and unspoiled by higher learning20....

9. Information about psychic phenomena reveals they are manifestations of consciousness on increasingly higher levels20....

When information about subjects like poltergeist phenomena, psychokinesis, ESP, ghosts, telepathy, psychic healing, spontaneous mystical experiences, etc., is organized into a reasonable order, we find that these phenomena are a manifestation of “consciousness” on increasingly higher levels20....

The phenomenon of life counteracts the general tendency of things to “run down”25....

VI. Reincarnation is discussed as a matter of fact, based on two primary reasons24.... 10. One reason for handling reincarnation as fact is obtaining firsthand information in proper states of consciousness2425.

The simple fact that when one puts himself into the proper level of consciousness, one may obtain this information firsthand2425.

The second reason is that energy cannot be lost within a closed system24....

11. Life organizes random minerals into stable structures2529.

The vegetables or grasses take suitable minerals from the soil of our planet, put order into them, and organize them into molecules that are used to build live cells of the plant25....

Our physical properties are well guarded within our chromosomes, down to the very finest detail, and a very high degree of order and stability is maintained there2529.

12. The human body decays rapidly after the organizing life energy departs25....

What happens when we die?2529.

The organizing life energy departs, and our bodies start decomposing rapidly2529.

VII. Information built up during a lifetime is considered a nonmaterial energy system31.... 13. During a human lifetime, enormous amounts of organized information (energy) are built up and stored31....

Emotional information is built up, mental information is built up, etc32....

This information bundle is not material, although some will say that it is the brain that contains it32....

14. This "body" of information, called the psyche, is the organizer and processor of the accumulated knowledge32....

It is a nonmaterial entity containing all the knowledge that we have accumulated over a lifetime, including our personality traits and character32....

I assert that the psyche can exist independent of the physical body, that this thinking and knowing part of us is conserved32....

15. The psyche is nonphysical and not subject to decay after physical death32....

No organized energy is ever lost32....

The physical body is reabsorbed by the planet, and the “body” of information is also absorbed back whence it came32....

16. The organized information bundle (psyche) has continuity in time, viewing the body as a temporary vehicle37....

Nature, as I hope to show later, needs all this information, which is organized energy, and will not allow it to go to waste40....

It will be stored in Nature’s large information-storage hologram: the universal mind40....

VIII. Normal lack of recollection of previous lives is attributed to a self-protective mechanism40.... 17. This mechanism is similar to that which prevents bringing up material buried deep in the subconscious40....

The majority of people suffer from what one may call the “giraffe syndrome” when facing controversial areas like psychic phenomena40....

18. Scientists, in particular, often suffer from the "giraffe syndrome"40....

The problem is that they view reality through a tiny window, and they like to stay within the frame of that window40....

They decide that if the giraffe is too big for their window, then it’s too bad for the giraffe; as far as they are concerned, it is nonexistent40....

IX. Sound and vibration are fundamental components of reality4546. 19. Disturbing the air creates sound, which travels at about 740 miles per hour4546.

When we disturb the air in any way, we create sound4546.

The slightest motion of our bodies disturbs the air around us, and we produce sound4546.

20. Even the smallest actions are broadcast widely through different energy forms47....

Our action of closing the switch has been broadcast, theoretically at least, to the outer limits of the atmosphere around the earth due to the movement of the air47....

It was broadcast all the way to the end of the universe by the expansion of the magnetic field around the wire and by the gravitational wave due to the wire’s acceleration47....

X. Standing waves occur when a vibrating body is divided into integral numbers47.... 21. Standing waves have points of rest called nodes5052.

When the nodes along the string appear stationary and fixed while the rest of the string is vibrating, we call such a behavior a “standing wave”5052.

If we pluck the string at the one-quarter mark of its length, we shall see a shape as in Figure 2B4750.

22. Sound can introduce order where previously there was none53.

In the box we have set up an interference pattern of standing waves (which we will soon explain) that governs the position of the particles53.

It may occur to us that a crystalline structure may be seen as representing sound interacting in a volume53.

XI. Superposed sounds produce interference patterns and beat frequencies54.... 23. An interference pattern results when waves cross each other5455.

Where hill meets hill or valley meets valley, we get an amplitude double the original wave height5557.

Where hill meets valley, we find just a flat spot5557.

24. Beat frequencies are generated by the difference between two fast frequencies54....

Note that the difference between the two fast frequencies produces a third frequency that is much slower than the first two5459.

This, then, is a beautiful device for converting high frequencies to low ones5459.

XII. Nature stores information in a holographic form6061. 25. An ice sheet example shows how an interference pattern of ripples can store three-dimensional information54....

This is Nature’s way of storing information60....

There is already evidence that our brains store information in a holographic form6061.

26. The genetic code carried in chromosomes is an example of compact holographic storage6061.

This kind of storage device is the most compact known in Nature6061.

Each cell in our bodies carries all the information required to make an additional copy of our bodies6061.

XIII. Coherency defines the orderly, predictable behavior of waves6063. 27. For waves to be reliable carriers of information, they must be consistent in velocity and wavelength6063.

By coherency we mean an order of a certain kind6364.

28. Coherent light sources, like lasers, produce monochromatic light that goes "in step"6465.

The first important aspect of laser light is that it produces light of a single frequency6465.

In addition, the light emitted by the laser is coherent, or goes in step6465.

XIV. Holograms require the interaction of two beams: reference and working66.... 29. The narrow laser light beam is split into two components by a semi-transparent mirror6768.

The upper beam, which we shall call the reference beam, arrives at a photographic plate after an eventless flight6768.

30. The working beam interacts with an object (e.g., an apple) before reaching the film6768.

There it will meet its twin, the reference beam, and will tell it all about its experiences with the apple6768.

The magnitude of these experiences is being measured against the reference beam, which serves as a baseline for comparison6970.

31. Our entire reality is built upon constant comparisons6970.

Our senses, which describe our reality to us, are making these comparisons all the time6970.

Whenever we perceive something, we always perceive differences only69....

XV. Living creatures use sound differences (vibrations) to navigate or perceive71.... 32. Bats use a sonarlike device by comparing an emitted sound (reference beam) with an echo (working beam)7173.

The difference between the two (called the Doppler effect), tells the bat how far away the insect is and how fast it is flying, relative to him7173.

We humans also utilize this technique in less obvious ways in color vision, hearing, etc7273.

XVI. Oscillators are objects moving in a regular, periodic manner72.... 33. Examples of oscillators include a vibrating string or a weight hanging from a spring72....

Within a system like two tuned violins, it is very easy to transfer energy74.

34. A resonant system is made up of two tuned oscillators75.

Rhythm entrainment occurs when oscillators vibrating out of phase become locked into phase75.

The larger the number of oscillators within such a system, the more stable the system, and the more difficult it is to disturb75.

XVII. The human heart-aorta system can achieve a resonant state when breathing stops7677. 35. When breathing stops, a signal appears to travel from the bifurcation (where the aorta forks) back to the heart7677.

This signal instructs the heart to hold its next pulse until the echo returns7677.

36. When the echo and pulse move out of the heart together in synchrony, the body enters resonance7677.

It causes the body to move harmoniously up and down about seven times a second, hence the nice, regular, large-amplitude sinewave pattern7677.

The resonant state of the body seems to be a very restful and beneficial state7879.

XVIII. Meditation causes physiological changes, including elevation of consciousness levels78.... 37. Meditation has marked physiological effects beyond soothing jangled nerves and lowering blood pressure78....

It slowly but surely causes what we shall call “elevation of levels of consciousness”78....

Sensitive people with delicate nervous systems will feel these effects sooner than others80....

XIX. Matter is composed primarily of vast empty space filled with oscillating fields83.... 38. Our common-sense reality is composed of microreality: a vast empty space filled with interacting fields83....

The density of the nucleus of a hydrogen atom compared to its electron orbit is a ratio of 1 mm to 10 meters, with the intervening space being vacuum8385.

39. The tiniest disturbance in one field carries over into others8385.

A most important aspect of matter is vibratory energy8687.

40. Our bodies generate electrostatic fields of their own88....

We can measure the disturbance produced by our bodies in the electrostatic field8889.

The strength of this signal depends very much on the vitality of the subject8889.

XX. The body's resonant frequency is about 7 cycles per second78.... 41. The skeleton and all the inner organs will move coherently at about 7 cycles per second78....

It so happens that the natural frequency of the normal body seems to lie in this range7881.

42. In the meditative state, our bodies go into resonance with the electric field of the planet86....

This causes a regular repetitive signal or wave to propagate within this field8182.

XXI. Matter vibrates at extremely fast rates86.... 43. At room temperature an atom will vibrate at a rate of 10¹⁵ Hz86....

The nucleus of an atom will vibrate at about 10²² Hz86....

44. Nature limits the immense information capacity of matter to communicate with a slow mind9495.

This speed is utilized in molecular interactions, but our sense organs are hopelessly slow to handle directly the onslaught of this much information9697.

XXII. The nervous system translates reality into a Morse code of action and rest96.... 45. A rudimentary nervous system translates sensory input into a slow Morse code fashion of action and rest9698.

Action comes when the neuron fires its spike, and rest comes as the cell is regenerating and readying itself for the next firing99100.

46. Our brain constructs subjective reality out of this code99100.

Out of this action-and-rest code our brain constructs for us, for example, the form of a rose, its texture, its color and smell — in other words, its “rosiness”99100.

Our whole sensory system operates this way, whether it is optical input coming through the eyes, acoustical through the ears, or tactile through the skin100....

XXIII. The motion of a pendulum can be used as an analogy for motion and rest99.... 47. The simple back-and-forth motion of a pendulum between two points is a linear motion104....

We have converted circular motion into a reciprocating motion by taking away some of the freedom of the pendulum104107.

48. At the point of maximum displacement (rest), the pendulum loses its definiteness108109.

At the two extreme points of the pendulum, at which there is no apparent motion, acceleration of the body is maximum and velocity is zero104....

If we know precisely the momentum of a particle, then its position is completely indefinite or unknowable, and vice versa108.

XXIV. Matter disappears and expands at near-infinite velocity at its point of rest108.... 49. The pendulum (and atoms) blink off and on at their vibration rate84....

It is very likely that our matter is blinking off and on at that rate84....

The pendulum has to disappear in all directions at infinite velocity108.

50. Infinite speed and total rest seem somehow complementary109114.

To be completely at rest — that is, being at the point at which movement in one direction is changing sign or reversing direction — that point of rest implies somehow a disappearance of matter and a movement at infinite or almost infinite velocities109114.

51. Tangible reality exists only as long as there is movement115....

The tangible world is movement, say the Masters, not a collection of moving objects, but movement itself115....

Without change or movement there is no objective or subjective reality118....

XXV. Objective and subjective realities share a common denominator in change between states of rest117121. 52. Objective reality is void filled by oscillating fields fluctuating between two states of rest114....

Subjective reality consists of impressions translated by the nervous system in a Morse code of action or motion and rest117....

Both realities become “real” only due to the change or motion occurring between the two states of rest117121.

XXVI. Objective and subjective space-time normally overlap, but can separate123.... 53. Under hypnosis or drug influence, time dilation or distortion can occur, suggesting more subjective time126....

When a person has been trained by biofeedback to produce theta waves or can put himself into a deep meditative state and at the same time is able to watch the second hand of a clock in front of him, he will be surprised to find that the second hand has come to a stop126....

54. The separation of subjective and objective time is attributed to the temporary absence of the "observer"123....

The observing mind (or “the observer,” for short), the entity that correlates and makes sense of the information submitted to it by the brain, was absent123....

The “hardware,” by which I mean the sensory organs and the brain, are processing and producing the information, but the entity that correlates and makes sense of the information, has left the body for a while105....

XXVII. The "observer" is a nonphysical entity capable of flitting about instantly134135. 55. The observer retains its integrity as an information-processing unit despite rapid expansion136.

He may leave his physical body and be off to a beach thousands of miles away and be back all within one or two seconds134135.

The “observer” is still tenuously linked to the physical body, and the physical senses still relay messages to him in an undistorted form137.

56. The faster something moves, the closer it exhibits "spacelike" behavior138....

Speeds at which space is traversed while very little time is used up will be termed “spacelike” activity141142.

When something moves so fast that it uses almost no time for its movement then it moves at an almost infinite speed141142.

XXVIII. Attaining infinite speed means achieving omnipresence141142. 57. When something is going so fast, then it must be present at all places at once141142.

We mortals could perhaps give this kind of behavior a more fitting name: omnipresence141142.

Attaining infinite speed would mean attaining another, higher state of rest or state of being143144.

58. The observer crosses the speed-of-light barrier and enters a spacelike universe136145.

This is something that no physical object can do; but our “observer,” being a nonphysical entity, will have no problems doing this136145.

This is a strange new universe in which there is no limit on speed, in which time is being converted into space136145.

XXIX. The level of consciousness index is defined by the ratio of subjective to objective time146147. 59. level of consciousness index = subjective time / objective time146147.

This is our “level of consciousness index”146147.

60. Increasing subjective time corresponds to increased consciousness and spatial expansion140....

As the subjective time stretches, so does the “observer” expand into his subjective space147148.

The space coordinate represents three-dimensional space147148.

XXX. Functioning in the subjective dimension leads to omniscience and knowledge of future/past141.... 61. When the subjective time axis becomes infinitely long, we are using no objective time at all138....

Going so fast is really the same as being at rest, in all places at once143144.

We are now not only omnipresent but omniscient141144.

62. Clairvoyance involves the observer moving into subjective time and space149150.

One can consider projecting one’s “observer” into the future, if this is not too strenuous149150.

Clairvoyants are people who can operate without the constraints of space and time and can see and describe events occurring in the past and the future, both in the physical and the nonphysical realms149.

XXXI. The continuous motion of the body involves rapid shuttling between realities151152. 63. Our bodies oscillate up and down about seven times a second, and the observer expands at the end of each movement136152.

The observer expands at a very high speed through his subjective time into objective space152.

64. Our reality consists of a constant rapid shuttling between our solid reality and way-out realities152153.

Our reality is made up of a constant rapid back-and-forth shuttling between our solid reality and the way-out realities, which we share with everybody else153.

The subconscious mind, being much quicker, did pick up the message, and people dutifully consumed the advertised products152....

XXXII. Consciousness is defined by a system's capacity to respond to stimuli153156. 65. Quantity of consciousness is equated with the number of responses a system is capable of156....

We can say that it is the capacity of a system to respond to stimuli153.

My basic premise is that consciousness resides in matter160161.

66. Quality of consciousness is expressed in terms of frequency response159....

The higher the quality of consciousness, the higher the frequency-response range of the system162163.

The “quality of consciousness” defines the degree of refinement of such a response and its range159....

XXXIII. All matter, from atom to human, possesses consciousness159.... 67. A given mass contains a percentage of consciousness, varying in quantity and quality by evolutionary level160161.

We can say that a given mass contains such and such a percentage of consciousness160161.

We shall use the atom asa basic unit of consciousness158....

68. Nature presents a spectrum of realities defined by levels of consciousness165....

We are dealing here are actually different realities, higher and lower than our own in terms of the evolution of matter in the universe164....

This spectrum of realities should not be looked at as having sharply defined boundaries, but rather is similar to the electromagnetic radiation band we call the visual spectrum168169.

XXXIV. The Absolute contains all consciousness and is the source of consciousness170.... 69. The relationship between quantity and quality of consciousness is curved, approaching the "absolute"169....

The increase in the quantity of consciousness becomes almost infinitely large as the curve approaches the absolute170....

The “absolute” contains all consciousness there is in the universe170....

70. Evolution drives all matter toward higher consciousness and complexity170....

All matter in the universe, starting from the atom, is moving up in levels of consciousness under the forces of evolution until it finally reaches the absolute170....

Matter is combining and becoming more and more complex, forming more intricate nervous systems as time goes by172174.

XXXV. Our reality is the frequency band where we exchange maximum energy with the environment175.... 71. Our nervous system interacts strongly within the frequency band $f_{5}$ to $f_{6}$175....

We are, so to speak, tuned to exchange maximum energy with our present environment and are in resonance with it175....

This is the meaning of the energy-exchange curve175....

72. The ultimate state of "being" is equated with the absolute179180.

The two contrasting concepts of movement and rest become reconciled in the absolute179....

This state is equivalent to infinitely fast motion179....

XXXVI. The absolute serves as the immutable reference line for all creation181.... 73. We need two components to form a "reality" or image: the reference frequency beam (Absolute) and the modulated beam (Relative)181....

The absolute is represented as a boundless deep sea, very calm and smooth, appearing invisible183.

The ripples that break up the smooth surface make the absolute visible or manifest, which is called the relative, or physical reality183.

74. Matter is the vibrating, changing component of pure consciousness184185.

Matter, being made of quanta of energy, is the vibrating, changing component of pure consciousness184185.

We can divide creation into two components, the absolute and the relative184185.

XXXVII. The mind-over-matter problem is solved by realizing both are manifestations of the same basic stuff186187. 75. There is no basic difference between mind and matter186187.

Both mind and matter are made of the same basic stuff186187.

76. Matter and mind differ in the "size" of their relative components186....

We may look at the solid matter as being made up of larger, slower waves or ripples, which implies that it possesses less energy of the absolute186187.

Mind is made up of much finer ripples, which implies that it possesses more of this energy186187.

XXXVIII. The Absolute Protospace is the nonvibratory base of reality189190. 77. The nonvibratory state is the basis of manifest reality189190.

The nonvibratory base we may call the absolute protospace189190.

78. The absolute is defined as a high-energy creative potential plus intelligence190191.

This is the actual definition of the absolute (to the extent that it can be defined); it is a high-energy creative potential plus intelligence190191.

The “intelligence” adds a self-organizing capability to any entity in creation190191.

XXXIX. Evolution progresses from lower mineral reality upwards192193. 79. The mineral reality is characterized by attrition but still has some consciousness193194.

The mineral reality is at the lowest levels of consciousness193194.

The energy-exchange curve extends into the plant reality and never goes down to zero193194.

80. The plant reality is the first level exhibiting growth and reproduction ("life")193194.

The quantity of consciousness is higher, and so is the response to stimuli193194.

Plants respond to human emotions, threats, and love193194.

XL. The human nervous system can learn to interact across the entire spectrum of realities156.... 81. Expansion of consciousness means the nervous system is capable of interacting on any reality level156....

The expression “development of the nervous system,” then, as used in this book, is synonymous with the expansion of consciousness196.

Much has been said about the effects of drugs on the expansion of consciousness196.

82. The astral level is dominated by emotion and survival instinct197198.

Note that all the lower realities we have mentioned before appear on the astral level198199.

This is the animal reality, the survival instinct in operation197200.

XLI. Nature spirits and minor gods are individuation processes in matter201.... 83. The principle of particle-wave duality holds true on a much larger scale in Nature, creating individuated consciousnesses201....

Matter represents consciousness of a certain quantity and quality201204.

84. A large rock formation can develop a dim awareness of self (a Nature spirit) if it has sufficient consciousness (a critical mass)205206.

Over millions of years this dim awareness may be strengthened into a sharper identity, possibly through interaction with other creatures205206.

85. Human thought energy can enhance the power of Nature spirits207....

When people concentrate on him, it adds immensely to his capability to do things because he is stimulated by the level of energy produced by the human nervous system209210.

A thought is energy that causes the neurons in the brain to fire in a certain pattern207208.

XLII. Thought energy can be focused and broadcast into the cosmos209211. 86. When we consciously concentrate and send coherent thoughts, that thought energy or thought form will impinge on the person for whom the thought was meant209210.

A thought eventually develops into a full-fledged thought producing at least a 70 millivolt potential somewhere in the cortex207208.

87. The universe is modular, with larger entities containing smaller integral units212213.

The very biggest entity, the universe, contains smaller entities, which contain smaller entities, which contain still smaller entities — and so on ad infinitum212213.

The term “modular” means that a unit will always be divided into smaller but integral units212214.

XLIII. The astral reality serves as a bridge connecting all physical realities198199. 88. The astral connects mineral, vegetable, animal, and human realities (with or without physical bodies)198199.

During our waking state, we don’t usually function there198199.

89. Nature uses sleep (dreaming/astral functioning) as a preview of functioning on the next evolutionary level215216.

Nature gradually acquaints us with functioning on our next level in order to prevent the shock of a sudden adjustment when we finally move there for a more extended stay, the so-called death215216.

90. Entities who die are reborn on a slightly higher level of human existence if they made sufficient progress217218.

The human unit of consciousness will, we hope, be reborn next time around on a higher level at each turn of the helix219.

The entity “dies,” lives for a while in the lower astral region217218.

XLIV. The transition layer between physical and astral reality is populated by low-level entities219.... 91. The boundary layer between the physical and the astral is populated by creatures of the lowest type: criminals, drunks, etc219....

These will attack the unsuspecting tourist; therefore, the protection of an experienced teacher is required before attempting forays into the unknown219....

92. Low-level psychic phenomena occur in the "slum area" of the astral region218224.

Such psychic phenomena as poltergeists, haunting spooks, Ouija board personalities, possessing spirits, etc., all belong in this general low-level category218224.

XLV. The mental reality is characterized by a search for knowledge and balanced mind222225. 93. The big difference between the physical and non-physical realities is the ability to create one’s environment instantly by the power of thought or desire222....

On the mental level the balanced mind and the search for practical or theoretical knowledge are dominant222227.

94. The only emotion allowed on the mental level is love222227.

The human unit has overcome its tendency to act emotionally, which is an inheritance going back to the animal level222225.

XLVI. The causal (intuitive) reality provides knowledge in large chunks222.... 95. In the causal level, knowledge comes easily in a nonlinear way222....

Here knowledge comes in large chunks, imprinted on the mind ina fraction of a second227....

Sometimes it comes in a simple diagrammatic form or in symbolic forms227....

96. Creative insights occur when the mind momentarily resonates with the causal level230....

It is received as a chunk, all of it, all details visible and fitting together in an elegant order230....

What has actually happened is that in a relaxed moment, when the mind was not busying itself with any problem in particular or may have been ina state of reverie, it projected itself into the intuitive or causal levels for a very short period of time232233.

XLVII. The physical body is interpenetrated by subtle "bodies" (higher harmonics)235.... 97. These subtle bodies are made of higher harmonics of the physical body235.

They extend beyond the limits of the physical body237239.

The physical body is an interference pattern of electromagnetic fields that changes with the passage of time236238.

98. Clairvoyants perceive these bodies as colorful egg-shaped halos or auras237239.

The most strongly visible of them would be the astral body because of the nearness of its vibratory scale to the physical237239.

It is visible at about 18 to 24 inches from the physical body237239.

XLVIII. The body's electrostatic field reflects its vitality and emotional state239.... 99. The health aura is made up of a cloud of ionized particles around the body237....

The 4-inch limit of the almost vertical leg of the curve is very sensitive to the person’s vitality level or state of health241242.

100. Emotional excitement increases the potential of the flat leg of the curve by about 30 percent241242.

This means that the emotional (astral) body has been excited to a higher level of activity241242.

The electrostatic field is just one small component of these higher harmonic bodies241242.

XLIX. We are capable of simultaneously listening to multiple reality "stations"242243. 101. The loudest station is the physical reality, followed by successively weaker stations (astral, mental, causal, spiritual)242243.

The physical station is heard most strongly242243.

We are capable of listening to all the stations simultaneously242243.

102. Focusing on weaker stations requires turning off the loud physical station244245.

This is what we do in sleep, in meditation, or in sensory-deprivation chambers244245.

The weakest station is the spiritual244245.

L. Subliminal stimuli on subtle levels can manifest as physical illness244245. 103. A constant irritation on any of these levels may appear as psychosomatic illness244245.

Repressed anger, being a powerful emotion, may cause cancer in some people244245.

Anxiety and uncertainty will cause ulcers in others244245.

104. When two people share common thinking, they resonate on the mental level244245.

The intuitive “gut” feeling about success or failure of a project, for instance, is picked up through our intuitive band245246.

LII. The brain functions as a computer terminal that amplifies thought, rather than generating it246.... 105. The brain processes sensory input in the waking state246248.

The brain is a piece of hardware, a computer terminal, which normally processes the input provided by the sense in the waking state246248.

When the input from the senses is not processed, as in deep sleep, this piece of hardware is in a state of complete rest and is not generating any images246248.

106. Thought originates outside the brain as tiny impulses247....

A thought starts out at first as a tiny little impulse251252.

It appears that the thought does not originate within the brain; rather, the brain picks up the tiny impulses implanted there by our astral, mental, or causal bodies247250.

LIII. Intuitive leaps are necessary for breakthroughs in uncertain territories253254. 107. Meaningful breakthroughs in science, art, and technology come through intuitive leaps or insight253....

When operating in unchartered territory, intuition is the only thing we can rely on256257.

108. Intuitive input is highly valued by entrepreneurs because the variables are too great to handle rationally256257.

The number of variables to be considered in each decision is just too great to handle, and with conditions constantly changing, it is simply impossible to figure things out completely256257.

They will say that that decision “felt right,” that they knew that things would work out for the best256257.

LIV. Subjective validation through repeatable experiences is necessary for invisible phenomena258.... 109. Science will eventually have to use subjective methods to evaluate invisible but reproducible phenomena259261.

If the majority of the subjects independently describe similar experiences, and:these are reproducible, then we may have to admit that we are dealing with real states common to all, thus establishing a fact259261.

110. The psyche (soul) acts as a bridge between the physical body and the higher self262....

The psyche serves as a bridge between the physical level and our real selves — spiritual beings, who operate on the physical level through the mediation of the psyche262....

The spiritual level is the highest shown in Figure 30262....

LV. The spiritual level is the highest evolutionary stage, bordering on the absolute266267. 111. The spiritual level is directly connected with the knowledge and structure of the universe and the cosmos266....

The very highest spiritual merges into the absolute, which is the level of the Creators266268.

112. Spiritual development concerns the refinement of the nervous system and the accompanying rise in consciousness270....

It has to do only with the development and refinement of the nervous system and the accompanying rise in the level of consciousness270....

LVI. Love is defined as a pervasive energy or radiation, not an emotion270272. 113. Love is confined beyond the physical and astral levels270272.

We would define love as energy and not an emotion since emotions are confined to the physical and astral levels of reality270272.

It is possibly the basis of what we know as the phenomenon of gravitation270272.

114. The universe encourages the rapid evolution of consciousness269....

The universe, through its incentive system, which we call evolution, is anxious to impart as much knowledge as possible to its sentient beings in order to allow them to move as fast as possible along the evolutionary ladder and develop their consciousness to the highest possible degree269....

LVII. The goal of yoga training is union with the absolute272274. 115. An accomplished yogi is able to function on all levels of creation272274.

Because the energy-exchange curve is very high on this level, he is able to influence Nature in a positive way272274.

116. The higher self, a component of the Creator, guides the personality through life experiences275276.

The higher self is the “spirit within us,” and being part of the Creator, the higher selves are all connected and communicating with each other275276.

It is the business of the higher self to put the personality through the experiences of life and interactions with others, thereby gaining knowledge and learning to know itself275276.

LVIII. The universe operates as an information-gathering system275276. 117. The Creator breaks himself up into units to experience interactions on all possible levels275276.

Evolution is the built-in urge that pushes all matter to higher and higher complexity, allowing experiences to occur at ever-higher levels276277.

118. Direct interaction with the higher self is possible after sustained development over many lifetimes255278.

Once that point has been reached, the person becomes guided directly by the higher self255278.

He starts relying more and more on intuitive knowledge, which is funneled to him directly from the highest possible source255278.

LIX. The model of the universe is an elongated hollow torus279.... 119. The continuous big-bang model of the universe is patterned after the jet-emitting quasar282....

Our continuous big-bang model of the universe is patterned after the jet-emitting quasar284.

This hollow ovoid shape is called a torus280.

120. In the model, the jet of matter expands, slows, and turns back upon itself due to gravitational pull285....

The jet will also expand as it moves away from the source and will start to slow down due to the gravitational pull of the core285288.

Sooner or later the jet will slow down completely, expand into a mushroom shape, and start falling back toward its source286289.

LX. The nucleus of the universe is a black hole-white hole object284.... 121. Black holes and white holes must come in pairs290291.

Matter that has disappeared in the black hole has to reappear somewhere290291.

The nucleus is Phase VI in our sketch in Figure 38 and is the beginning and the end of “time” in our universe290292.

122. The singularity in a rotating black hole (Kerr black hole) looks like a ring291293.

Matter doesn’t go through a point of zero size291293.

The rotating black-white holes could just be the source of all that rotary motion in our universe290291.

LXI. Time is viewed as a measure of distance, not a flowing entity292294. 123. “Time” is seen as the distance covered by matter emitted from the nucleus until it re-enters the black hole284....

Time is not flowing anywhere; it just is292294.

As we move in space, we are also moving along the time axis292294.

124. The observable universe is a small bubble within the torus284....

We can visualize only a small part of this, so we are going to call it the “observable universe”292296.

The position of our galaxy can be located by taking into account the anisotropies in the distribution of distant galaxies284295.

LXII. Light is confined within the flow of matter, creating a trapped inner protospace298.... 125. Light follows the curvature of space-time caused by the mass of the jet299300.

Light will thus follow the curvature of space-time caused by the mass of the jet and will therefore not be able to penetrate into the space between the central jet and the return flow envelope of the universe299300.

126. A torus of protospace (the jelly in the donut) is trapped within the envelope of matter299300.

Light is thus confined to move more or less closely along with matter299300.

LXIII. All knowledge ever generated is potentially available in the universe295.... 127. Knowledge is available to us because we are sharing a universe where problems have been solved by civilizations ahead of us in “time”243....

We may say, therefore, that all knowledge that was ever generated is potentially available to us at some point or other in our universe243....

128. Intuitive knowledge taps into the "universal mind," which is an information hologram42....

We can call that area the “universal mind”303304.

Our psyches form an interference pattern with psyches of all other consciousnesses in the universe281.

LXIV. The psyche ("observer") expands coherently into a spacelike dimension251.... 129. The observer expands at almost infinite speeds into space at the point of rest of the body302305.

We have to make two important assumptions: (1) that the information — that is, the “observer” — behaves in a coherent fashion as it expands; and (2) that the information can move at velocities faster than light302307.

130. The expansion of the observer allows instantaneous communication across the universe256....

Any serious event can be known across the universe instantly by consciousnesses whose interest or business it is to know these things256308.

Communication throughout the universe is continuous and instantaneous309.

LXV. Higher consciousness allows the observer to penetrate farther and faster into space310311. 131. The higher a person’s level of consciousness, the higher his frequency response310311.

The higher his frequency response, the farther away from his point of origin his observer can penetrate310311.

132. The quality of consciousness dictates the speed of response during the brief expansion period310311.

We shall now take as the “stimulus” the very short period of time allowed us by the period of time to expand into space and to collapse back310311.

The higher one’s level of consciousness, the larger his ¢ angle, which means that he can expand into space with a higher velocity, and have more subjective time available for observation310.

LXVI. Biological systems condense and store space-time in specific structures, like seeds312.... 133. The seed is a unique structure because in it space-time has been condensed and stored312313.

The seed represents a tree in an altered and higher state of consciousness312313.

134. The seed represents a state where "time has stopped"312313.

It is a tree that has moved into its subjective space-time, in which time and space have lost their ordinary meaning312313.

The outer objective manifestation of this state of the tree is the seed312....

LXVII. Organizing electrical fields precede and mold living matter315.... 135. Burr calls these the “organizing fields,” claiming that they come first, guiding the atoms and molecules of the growing organism into its proper form317318.

This is the first work actually confirming that our matter (in this case our living bodies) is held together by a four-dimensional interference pattern317318.

136. Organizing fields are four-dimensional electromagnetic holograms that change in time309319.

Our physical bodies are formed by organizing fields309319.

137. Most physical diseases are psychosomatic, caused by emotional and mental bodies320321.

These bodies or fields affect the health of the physical body320321.

Repressed anger, being a powerful emotion, may cause cancer in some people244245.

LXVIII. Matter is consciousness, implying that the planet and sun are large beings322323. 138. Our planet must be a very large being322323.

The sun, having a much larger mass and temperature, will have a much larger rudimentary consciousness controlling the processes taking place in it323324.

139. Rudimentary consciousness runs the body independently of the psyche325326.

We have to conclude, therefore, that the body has its own consciousness, which is rudimentary but intelligent enough and quite capable of operating the body independently of the psyche325326.

This consciousness is the sum total of the consciousnesses of the cells of our body or the “wisdom of the inner parts”325326.

LXIX. The physical body is likened to an idling automobile without a driver326327. 140. The psyche is a higher-level entity independent of the body, using it as a focus325326.

We can liken the body to an automobile326327.

When the driver gets out and leaves the engine running, it will idle and function normally326327.

141. The planet has a rudimentary consciousness maintaining its metabolism326327.

This work is being done by smaller consciousnesses that comprise the consciousness of the planet326327.

Things that unbalance the system to a high degree cause stress in this large consciousness328.

LXX. The Absolute is the void that permeates and connects all creation329330. 142. Matter dissolves into a void permeated by pulsating energy fields when highly magnified329330.

The base for the hologram is the void that permeates and connects all creation329330.

143. Stopping the pulsation of energy fields returns us to the absolute330331.

If we stop the pulsations of the fields, we get back the absolute330332.

There is no motion, therefore no time and no matter330331.

LXXI. The Creator functions at the level where all opposing extremes are merged330.... 144. The highest level of consciousness (90 degrees angle) implies infinitely long subjective time and omnipresence334.

This is the level at which the Creator functions330....

In short, we find that there isa level in Nature at which all extremes become reconciled and merged335.

145. The Creator sets the laws of Nature and the laws of evolution as the "rules of the game"332....

He realizes that unless He can produce a consciousness equal to Himself in all qualities, He may never know what He Himself is all about336337.

His goal is the evolution of consciousness332333.

LXXII. Evolution is stimulated by the duality of good and evil332.... 146. Good stands for the knowledge of His laws, and evil for the ignorance of His ultimate laws333.

The complexity of the experience is ensured by inventing the most diverse creatures and events333.

CONSULTING REPORT: THE MECHANICS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE HOLISTIC UNIVERSE

Client: Visionary Science & Future Systems Institute Author: Expert Synthesis Group Date: October 2023 Source Material: Excerpts from Stalking The Wild Pendulum On The Mechanics Of Consciousness by Itzhak Bentov

PAGE 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & SCOPE

1.0. Introduction and Mandate

This report synthesizes the core concepts presented in Itzhak Bentov's work, Stalking The Wild Pendulum, which attempts to build a holistic model of the universe encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and intuitive "realities". The model provides a framework to explain previously "unexplained" phenomena such as telepathy, psychokinesis, and clairvoyance as manifestations of altered states of consciousness.

1.1. Key Strategic Findings

Fundamental Reality is Vibratory: Objective reality, including the human body, is composed of a rapidly pulsating matrix of electromagnetic fields, operating as an interference pattern of waves.
Consciousness as an Omnipresent Observer: The non-physical core of the individual, the "observer" or psyche, periodically expands into a "spacelike" dimension at almost infinite velocity during momentary periods of physical rest, allowing for instantaneous information transfer across the universe.
Spectrum of Realities: Consciousness exists on a continuous evolutionary spectrum, categorized by quality (frequency response/intelligence) and quantity (number of responses to stimuli), spanning from mineral up to the Absolute.
Universal Mind Hologram: The periodic expansion of all consciousnesses forms an information hologram ("universal mind") accessible through elevated subjective time states (meditation/intuitive insight), enabling knowledge retrieval.
Accelerated Evolution and Risk: The development of the nervous system (expansion of consciousness) can be accelerated through techniques like meditation, leading to predictable physiological changes known as the Physio-Kundalini Syndrome, which acts as the body’s ultimate stress-release mechanism.

1.2. Strategic Objective

The ultimate goal of this model is to encourage thinking and speculation by future scientists, moving beyond the current fossilized scientific establishment which is limited by its materialistic "world picture". It suggests a path toward wholeness and interconnectedness.

PAGE 2: FOUNDATIONAL PHYSICS OF REALITY: WAVES, HOLOGRAMS, AND THE NATURE OF MATTER

2.0. The Micromechanics of Solid Matter

Magnification reveals that seemingly solid reality dissolves into a rapidly pulsating matrix of fields of energy. Atoms vibrate at rates of approximately $10^{15} \text{ Hz}$ at room temperature, and the nucleus vibrates around $10^{22} \text{ Hz}$.

Matter as Organized Energy: This abstract "matter" is an interference pattern of waves filling a vast vacuum. The orderly pattern of atoms in crystalline structures may be the result of the interaction of a kind of "sound waves" in matter (interference patterns of sound in a volume).
Response to Energy Fields: This vibratory matrix is easily influenced by outside fields—electric, magnetic, gravitational, or acoustic—whether applied directly or from a distance, suggesting constant interaction across all levels. Gravitational fields, such as those caused by the moon, penetrate all matter, affecting biorhythms (e.g., oysters rhythm-entrained to Chicago time).

2.1. The Holographic Principle of Information Storage

The hologram is proposed as nature's way of storing information.

Mechanism: A hologram is formed by an interference pattern created when a "reference beam" (pure, undisturbed light) meets a "working beam" (light modulated by encountering an object) on a photographic plate. The resulting pattern, though not resembling the object, contains complete, three-dimensional information about the object.
Complete Information Density: Every square centimeter of the holographic surface contains information about the entire object, allowing the whole image to be reconstructed from a small piece.
Biological Application: There is evidence that our brains store information in a holographic form. Furthermore, the genetic code in chromosomes carries all the information required to make an additional copy of the body, illustrating this compact storage principle.

2.2. Resonance and Entrainment

Systems resonate optimally when tuned to their environment.

Biological Resonance: The heart-aorta system can become a resonant system when breathing is suspended, causing the body to move harmoniously up and down at approximately 7 cycles per second (Hz), aligning with the body’s natural frequency. This resonant state requires minimum energy for sustenance.
Planetary Resonance: In deep meditation, the human being and the planet system start resonating, transferring energy at a very long wavelength (about 40,000 km, the planet’s perimeter) in the electrostatic field. This frequency (6.8 to 7.5 Hz) suggests a tuned resonant system between the micromotion of the body and the earth-ionosphere cavity frequency.

PAGE 3: THE MECHANICS OF CONSCIOUSNESS: THE OBSERVER AND SUBJECTIVE TIME-SPACE

3.0. Sensory Translation: The Morse Code of Reality

Our sensory system translates external physical reality into the brain using an action-rest language (electrical pulses or "spikes").

Action/Rest Duality: This constant cycle of motion and rest can be modeled by a pendulum or oscillator. When an oscillator is in motion, it defines our sensory/subjective reality.
Infinite Velocity and Disappearance: At the extreme points of the pendulum's swing (the point of rest), momentum is zero, but quantum mechanics suggests that the particle must traverse space without using up time, resulting in movement at infinite velocity. This implies a momentary disappearance of matter ("blinking off and on") and expansion into space.

3.1. The Psyche as the Non-Material "Observer"

The psyche is defined as a non-material entity, the organizer and processor of accumulated information (knowledge, personality, character) stored outside the physical body, and is conserved after death.

The Observer’s Function: This psyche, or "observer," is the sensing, feeling, and information-processing apparatus. During the body's momentary rest periods (occurring 14 times per second via body oscillation), the non-physical observer expands at almost infinite speeds into space.
Omnipresence: Movement at almost infinite velocity implies omnipresence—being present everywhere in practically no time at all (a "spacelike" activity). The observer is constantly "shuttling" between solid physical reality and "way-out" realities.

3.2. Subjective Time Dilation and Consciousness

Normally, objective and subjective time coincide, but they separate during altered states of consciousness.

Altered States and Time Manipulation: Phenomena like dreaming, hypnosis, or drug influence demonstrate time dilation, suggesting more subjective time is available relative to objective clock time.
Level of Consciousness Index: This state change is quantified by the ratio: $\frac{\text{Subjective Time}}{\text{Objective Time}}$.
Geometric Representation: This is visualized using a space-time diagram where the subjective time axis rotates by an angle ($\psi$) relative to the objective time axis. As the $\psi$ angle increases (approaching $90^{\circ}$), subjective time stretches enormously, becoming infinitely long when the angle is $90^{\circ}$.
Expansion into Space: A tilting of the subjective time axis causes the observer to behave in an increasingly "spacelike" manner, meaning an expansion of consciousness leads to an expansion into space.

PAGE 4: LEVELS OF REALITY: THE SPECTRUM OF CONSCIOUSNESS (Q&Q)

4.0. Consciousness Defined by Quantity and Quality

All matter contains consciousness (or life) to a greater or lesser extent. This is measured across two dimensions:

Metric

Definition

Scale

Quantity

The number of possible responses a system is capable of as a reaction to a stimulus.

Low (Atom) $\rightarrow$ High (Absolute)

Quality

The degree of refinement or intelligence of such responses and their range, expressed in terms of frequency response.

Low frequency response $\rightarrow$ High frequency response

The relationship between Quantity and Quality of Consciousness forms an evolutionary curve, approaching the Absolute.

4.1. The Continuous Spectrum of Realities

The model maps existence onto a continuous spectrum of realities, which are essentially states of consciousness, with no sharp boundaries.

Reality Level

Description/Frequency Response Range

Key Characteristic/Evolutionary Status

Absolute

Sum total of consciousness; highest quality and quantity.

Total control over Nature; state of infinite potential energy and intelligence.

Spiritual ($\text{f}_9$)

Highest human evolution, bordering the absolute.

Total control over Nature.

Causal / Intuitive ($\text{f}_8$)

Knowledge acquired non-linearly in large chunks.

High energy interaction; source of creative insight.

Mental ($\text{f}_7$)

Balanced mind; practical/theoretical knowledge dominant.

High energy interaction; ability to create environment by thought.

Emotional / Astral ($\text{f}_6$)

Dream reality; dominated by emotion; interaction with human/animal/plant realms.

Higher energy exchange than physical reality.

Human ($\text{f}_5$ - $\text{f}_6$)

Physical reality; tuned for maximum energy exchange with environment.

Consciousness can be expanded to tune into all levels.

Animal ($\text{f}_4$)

Broader span of emotions; freedom of movement.

Consciousness extends into human and plant realities.

Plant ($\text{f}_3$)

Growth and reproduction; acute awareness of light/dark.

Relates to mineral and human realities.

Mineral ($\text{f}_1$)

Dim perception of hot/cold; no growth.

Lowest quantity/quality; continuous energy exchange with other levels.

4.2. Absolute vs. Relative

Reality is divided into two components:

The Absolute: The unbounded, deep, calm "sea" of pure consciousness; the immutable reference line, fixed, eternal, and invisible. It is infinite creative potential plus intelligence.
The Relative: Ripples or waves on the surface of the Absolute; the vibrating, changing component that makes up tangible physical matter.

PAGE 5: DETAILED ANALYSIS OF HIGHER REALITIES

5.0. The Nature of Interaction and Energy Exchange

The Energy-Exchange Curves (bell-shaped curves in Figure 30) illustrate the extent of interaction between an entity and its environment. Our interaction is maximized within the human reality band ($\text{f}_5$ to $\text{f}_6$). Higher realities have higher energy-exchange curves, implying greater control over Nature.

Reality

Interaction Characteristics

Physical (Human)

Strong, definite interactions (e.g., hitting a bridge abutment).

Emotional/Astral

Interactions are less strong (e.g., dreaming of hitting a bridge abutment). The peak of the astral energy curve is higher than ours, enabling astral entities to affect our reality (e.g., poltergeists).

5.1. Non-Physical Bodies and Higher Harmonics

We utilize invisible, subtle bodies, equated with higher harmonics of the physical body, to interact on different levels of consciousness.

Structure: These subtle bodies interpenetrate the physical form and contain accumulated information over many lifetimes. The physical body is ultimately the end product of these subtle information fields, which act as organizing fields or molds.
Identifiable Components:
- Health Aura / Astral Body: A cloud of charged particles extending 18 to 24 inches from the body, visible to clairvoyants as a halo, highly sensitive to health and emotional state. Emotional excitation can increase the aura's potential by 30%.
- Astral, Mental, Causal: Successively higher bodies composed of finer vibrations, allowing interaction with increasingly higher reality bands.

5.2. Reincarnation and the Evolutionary Helix

Evolutionary pressure pushes the human unit of consciousness toward higher complexity.

Life-Death Cycle: At death, the non-physical higher bodies (psyche/personality) leave the physical body and continue existence in the astral reality, which is solid and valid to them.
Helix Progression: The progression through successive lifetimes is visualized as a rising helix connecting the physical and astral levels (Figure 34A). A purely materialistic human starts on the lower portion of the helix. Entities who have made progress are reborn on slightly higher levels.
Astral Hazards: The boundary layer between the physical and astral is populated by "creatures of the lowest type" (criminals, drunks, etc.). Unprotected forays into this low astral region can be dangerous ("mugged, beaten, and robbed").

PAGE 6: THE UNIVERSAL MODEL: STRUCTURE AND INSTANTANEOUS COMMUNICATION

6.0. The Continuous Big-Bang Universe Model

Bentov posits a continuous, non-concentric big-bang model (an alternative to the uniform Friedmann-Gamov theory) based on observation of quasars.

Quasar Jets: Quasars (extremely distant, energetic galaxies) sometimes display a luminous jet of matter ejected from the center. This suggests a controlled explosion from a viscous, dense core.
Ovoid/Torus Structure: This jet slows down, expands into a mushroom shape, and eventually falls back toward the core due to gravitational attraction. This perpetual flow creates an elongated, hollow, three-dimensional ovoid shape called a torus.

6.1. The Black Hole / White Hole Nucleus

The center of the torus contains the nucleus, which serves as both the source and repository of all matter in the universe.

Recycling Mechanism: Matter falling back toward the center eventually collapses due to overwhelming gravitational forces, forming a Black Hole (the end repository). This matter is squeezed, homogenized, and re-energized, emerging from the opposing end as a White Hole (the source of new matter/radiation).
Time as Distance: In this model, time is not flowing anywhere; it just is. The length of "time" in this universe is the distance covered by matter moving once around the torus shell.

6.2. The Universal Mind Hologram

The torus is encased within an inner core of protospace. While light cannot travel through this inner torus, the psyche can.

Mechanism of Universal Communication: Our non-material "observers" (psyches), containing all accumulated knowledge, periodically expand into this inner protospace at infinite velocities. The expanding wave fronts of all consciousnesses from all galaxies interact and interfere, forming a giant information hologram called the Universal Mind.
Instantaneous Knowledge: Since the psyche moves in a spacelike dimension at infinite velocity, information transfer is instantaneous, overcoming the physical speed-of-light barrier. This revolutionary system allows any serious event across the universe to be known instantly by relevant consciousnesses.

PAGE 7: DEEP DIVE: KNOWLEDGE, INTELLIGENCE, AND EVOLUTIONARY ALIGNMENT

7.0. Accessibility and Clarity of Intuitive Knowledge

All knowledge that was ever generated is potentially available in the universal mind hologram.

Gaining Access: Accessing this information requires increasing one's Level of Consciousness (i.e., extending subjective time) to observe the action of other psyches at a leisurely pace.
Information Density: Information density is greatest toward the center axis of the torus.
Clarity: The clarity of the retrieved information depends on the "quality of consciousness" (frequency response). A higher level of consciousness corresponds to a larger $\psi$ angle and greater penetration into the spacelike dimension, enabling a sharper view of past or future events.

7.1. The Creator and Event Matrices

The universe operates under the principle that the entire creation is the Creator breaking Himself up into units (consciousness) to experience all possible interactions and know Himself.

Foreknowledge: The Creator thinks His universe from a state of $90^{\circ}$ $\psi$ angle (infinite subjective time, omnipresence, omniscience), visualizing the universe in its entirety, from beginning to end.
Event Matrices: The Creator predetermines the overall path of evolution using event matrices, which are field patterns embedded in space-time. These event matrices stimulate, balance, or depress specific tendencies in psyches.
Historical Recurrence: If our planet crosses a stress-producing event matrix (a long "sausage shape"), war may result, repeating the same emotional causes (greed, hatred, intolerance), although the technology changes.

7.2. The Modular Universe and Organizing Fields

The material and non-material universes are modular, meaning units build hierarchies (atoms to molecules to crystals, or consciousnesses to larger consciousnesses).

The Seed Analogy: The structure of the microcosm reflects the macrocosm. The seed/egg structure is unique because it represents the tree/chicken in an altered and higher state of consciousness, having condensed space-time, awaiting objective time for unfoldment.
Organizing Fields of Life: Living bodies are held together by four-dimensional electromagnetic holograms known as "organizing fields" (Burr’s work confirmed this). These organizing fields (subtle information bodies) act as molds that guide atoms and molecules into the physical form; the physical body is the result of their interaction.

PAGE 8: THE PHYSIO-KUNDALINI SYNDROME (PART 1: PHENOMENOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION)

8.0. Accelerated Evolution and Stress Accumulation

The human nervous system has tremendous potential for accelerated evolution, achievable through systematic meditation or occurring spontaneously. However, this process often results in the release of accumulated emotional stresses imprinted on the physical body ("stress accumulated in the body").

Stress Conversion: Stresses are energy patterns that must be converted and eliminated, often taking the form of involuntary body movement.
The Syndrome: The Physio-Kundalini Syndrome describes the symptoms associated with this specific problem of accelerated nervous system evolution.

8.1. Sequence of Physical Symptoms

The progression of symptoms follows a specific path, corresponding to the esoteric concept of Kundalini energy rising.

Location

Observed Symptoms

Examples (Case Histories)

Foot / Toes

Mild tingling, cramps, followed by numbness/paralysis.

Cramping in big toes (Scientist M); Blackening of big toe nail (Artist F, 53).

Leg / Hip

Stimulus moves up left leg; paralysis of leg and foot drop.

Paralysis of left leg/foot drop (Cases 1, 9, 10); left hip pain.

Spine / Neck

Stimulus moves up spine; pain between shoulder blades.

Spondylosis diagnosis possible.

Head

Severe pressure-like headaches, degeneration of the optical nerve, visual impairment, loss of memory/disorientation.

Loss of color vision, optic atrophy; feeling the “top of my head was open all the time”.

8.2. Psychological Manifestations and Misdiagnosis

The psychological symptoms of the syndrome often mimic schizophrenia.

Confusion of Realities: Spontaneous development can "catapult" an individual suddenly into functioning in multiple realities (astral, higher realities), overwhelming them with information and causing confusion.
Institutionalization: Individuals experiencing accelerated evolution are frequently diagnosed as schizophrenics and institutionalized, representing a "tremendous waste of human potential".
Treatment Risk: Traumatic treatments like heavy sedatives or electroshock may irrevocably damage the highly sensitive nervous system resulting from this evolution.

PAGE 9: THE PHYSIO-KUNDALINI SYNDROME (PART 2: MECHANISM AND IMPLICATIONS)

9.0. Traditional and Physiological Models of Kundalini

The exotic Kundalini phenomenon, described in yoga literature, is traditionally seen as an "energy coiled up" at the base of the spine that, when awakened, rises along the spine, "vivifying" seven chakras (energy centers) corresponding to nerve plexuses and endocrine glands.

The Physio-Kundalini Model (Bentov’s Mechanism): This model attempts to explain the phenomenon in terms of Western physiology.
- Acoustical Standing Waves: The symptoms are hypothesized to be caused by acoustical standing waves in the cerebral ventricles (fluid-filled cavities in the brain).
- Heart Sound Trigger: These standing waves are triggered by the rhythmic heart sounds.
- Cortex Activation: The standing waves cause vibrations that stimulate the cortex, spreading a stimulus along the sensory cortex homunculus, corresponding precisely to the path described in esoteric literature (Figure C).

9.1. Role of Stress Release and Coherent Functioning

The severity of symptoms is always proportional to the degree of stress encountered.

Ultimate Stress Release: Kundalini is defined as a great stress-relieving system. The process will continue until deep-seated stresses in that area of the body are released. Once the full circuit is operating smoothly, the nervous system will not allow the further accumulation of stress.
Evolutionary Achievement: The purpose of the Physio-Kundalini Syndrome is to unite the cerebro-spinal and the autonomic nervous systems. This achievement enables control of involuntary body functions like respiration, cardiac function, and blood flow (voluntary control studies on yogis confirm this). This union is the next stage in the evolution of our nervous system.

9.2. Guidance and Future Treatment

Those who attain this level begin to receive energies automatically due to resonance with higher consciousnesses (the planet, sun, etc.), leading to "an unfolding of knowledge".

Intervention Strategy: Treatment should focus on combining psychological and physical therapy to alleviate problems, but must slow down and control the rate of the evolutionary process rather than stop it.
Holistic Centers: The need is highlighted for "holistic medical centers" staffed by physicians and healers who understand these processes, ensuring the achievement (fine tuning) of the nervous system is not destroyed.

PAGE 10: STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS AND FUTURE SCIENCE INTEGRATION

10.0. The Imperative for a New Scientific Model

The present scientific establishment relies too heavily on quantitative physical science and has become locked into a view of reality that has outlived its usefulness, increasing specialization and separateness. A new path back to wholeness is desperately needed.

Beyond Objectivity: Future experimentation, moving off the purely physical path, must account for and quantitatively measure mental or emotional bias. The scientific method must evolve to provide protocols that allow anyone, anywhere, to successfully duplicate results, even if that requires including subjective bias.
Self-Validation: The material presented in this model is inherently self-validating. Just as one must subjectively experience riding a bicycle to understand the principle of inertia, future science must utilize knowledge gained by subjective means, provided these experiences are reproducible across subjects placed in well-defined states of consciousness.

10.1. Evolutionary Strategy

Evolution is the fundamental built-in urge that pushes all matter toward higher complexity, knowledge, and experience.

Role of Intuition: Meaningful breakthroughs in science, art, and technology come through intuitive leaps or insight. Intuitive knowledge is absorbed as large chunks of information instantly imprinted on the mind, received when the mind momentarily projects itself into the causal/intuitive level (an altered state of consciousness).
The Higher Self: The ultimate guidance comes from the "higher self" (the spiritual component, a chip off the Creator). Direct interaction with the higher self relies on sustained effort over many lifetimes to develop the psyche.

10.2. Conclusion and Call to Action

Bentov's model provides a structured framework where diverse aspects of nature—from subatomic physics (oscillation, void, fields) to spiritual experiences (omnipresence, intuitive knowledge)—are unified into a highly integrated system.

The universe functions as an intelligent, holographic, information-gathering, and learning machine whose purpose is to know itself. The expansion of consciousness is synonymous with the development and refinement of the nervous system, leading inevitably toward higher interactions with Nature and greater happiness.

The path forward requires the scientific community to embrace and integrate the mechanics of subjective experience to achieve a full understanding of existence, as knowledge is already structured in consciousness..

Discuss Mechanics of Consciousness.

The sources outline a comprehensive model for the mechanics of consciousness, primarily through the work of Itzhak Bentov in Stalking the Wild Pendulum. This model posits that consciousness is fundamental to all matter, is vibrational in nature, and operates through a constant, rapid oscillation between material and nonmaterial states1.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The Fundamental Nature of Consciousness and Reality

Consciousness as the Fabric of Reality The basic premise of Bentov’s mechanics of consciousness is that consciousness resides in matter23. All mass contains consciousness or life to a greater or lesser extent, which can be refined or primitive23.

• Vibratory Reality: Our entire reality is a vibratory reality4.... Matter is comprised mostly of void permeated by pulsating, oscillating fields7.... Solid matter, including the physical body, is viewed as an interference pattern of waves that changes with the passage of time, essentially a four-dimensional hologram11....

• The Absolute and the Relative: Creation is divided into two components: the Absolute and the Relative16....

◦ The Absolute is fixed, eternal, invisible, and represents pure consciousness combined with intelligence16.... It is a boundless deep sea, whose calm surface is invisible22.... It is a state of eternal rest and enormous potential energy, where opposing extremes like movement and rest are reconciled19....

◦ The Relative is the visible, manifest, and changing aspect1617. It arises when motion or vibration appears in the Absolute, analogous to ripples on the surface of the calm sea of the Absolute22.... Matter, being made of quanta of energy, is the vibrating, changing component of pure consciousness1833.

2. The Mechanics of Action and Rest (The Pendulum Model)

Consciousness interacts with the physical world through a fundamental mechanism of action and rest, likened to a pendulum or oscillator34....

• Matter Blinking On and Off: Atoms of matter are oscillators; they vibrate at a rate of approximately $10^{15}$ Hz, suggesting that our matter is blinking off and on at this very high rate37....

• The Point of Rest: Both our objective and subjective realities become "real" only due to the change or motion occurring between two states of rest15.... When an oscillator reaches its point of rest, it must become nonmaterial for a very short period of time35....

• Expansion into Spacelike Dimension: At the point of rest, the physical body momentarily loses its definiteness, and the system expands into space at an almost infinite velocity, tunneling into a spacelike dimension30....

3. The Role of the "Observer" and Subjective Time

The concept of the "observer" is central to understanding how consciousness operates across different realities49....

• The Psyche: The "observer" is the sensing, feeling, and information-processing apparatus—the nonmaterial "us," which is the psyche or soul50.... The psyche can exist independent of the physical body, and this thinking/knowing part is conserved and not subject to decay after death54....

• Periodic Expansion: The observer, having no physical mass, is the entity that periodically flits back and forth at very high velocities during the body's micromotion (e.g., about 7 times a second, corresponding to the body's oscillation)45....

• Levels of Consciousness and Time Dilation: Altered states of consciousness are the underlying principle for many unexplained phenomena66.... In altered states, subjective time-space coordinates separate and rotate from objective coordinates69.... The level of consciousness index is mathematically expressed as the ratio of subjective time to objective time72....

• Consciousness Expansion and Omnipresence: A tilting of the subjective time axis leads to increasingly "spacelike" behavior, meaning an expansion of consciousness leads to an expansion into space75.... When subjective time becomes infinitely long (such as in deep meditative states), the observer attains infinite speed, resulting in omnipresence (being present in all places at once) and omniscience77.... This subjective experience may also explain clairvoyance, as traveling in subjective space (a spacelike dimension) can equate to moving through objective time (past or future)74....

4. Consciousness, The Holographic Universe, and Knowledge

The mechanism of consciousness is key to accessing universal knowledge and achieving instant communication across vast distances.

• The Universal Mind Hologram: The universe forms a large hologram of interacting fields6887. Every living thing undergoes the periodic expansion of its "observer"8889. As these nonmaterial entities expand, they form an interference pattern or hologram of knowledge information in protospace (the Absolute reference background)90.... This vast reservoir is called the "universal mind"92....

• Instantaneous Communication: Since the psyche can travel in the spacelike dimension (faster than light), communication across the universe is continuous and instantaneous95....

• Intuitive Knowledge: "Knowledge is structured in consciousness"104105. Intuitive insights, such as those experienced by artists and scientists, are received as large chunks of information imprinted on the mind, obtained when the observer momentarily projects itself into the causal or intuitive levels and subjective time is expanded106....

5. Consciousness Levels and Physical Correlates

Consciousness exists in a continuous spectrum of realities113.... The capacity of an entity to interact with its environment is measured by its energy-exchange curve and the refinement of its sensory response, referred to as the quality of consciousness or frequency response119....

• Subtle Bodies and Realities: Humans function on multiple levels (realities) simultaneously, possessing nonphysical "bodies" (astral, mental, causal) that are equivalent to the higher harmonics of the physical body's vibratory rates122.... These bodies are actually subtle information fields that mold our physical matter129....

• The Brain's Role: The brain is viewed as a piece of hardware, a computer terminal, primarily functioning as a thought amplifier, not the source of thought itself14.... Thoughts originate as tiny impulses implanted by the astral, mental, or causal bodies, which the brain then amplifies into a useful form134....

• Evolution of the Nervous System (Kundalini): The process of accelerated evolution and refinement of the nervous system is associated with the Physio-Kundalini Syndrome139.... This syndrome, which can be accelerated by meditation or occur spontaneously, is modeled as a stress-releasing stimulus spreading along the sensory cortex of the brain144145. Completing this circuit signifies that the nervous system has achieved a "young adult" status and can function more fully on ever higher levels of consciousness146147. This development is the next stage in the evolution of the nervous system and is a necessary correlate of spiritual development148149.

Discuss Universal Mind Hologram.

The concept of the Universal Mind Hologram is central to Itzhak Bentov's model of the universe and consciousness, representing the mechanism by which all accumulated knowledge is stored and instantly accessible1....

Definition and Structure

The Universal Mind Hologram is described as Nature's large information-storage hologram56. It is the resulting interference pattern or hologram of knowledge information formed by the interaction of the psyches (or observers) of all consciousnesses within the universe1....

1. The Universal Mind: This is the large reservoir containing all the information accumulated by mankind1.... The nonmaterial "body" of information accumulated during a lifetime—referred to as the "psyche" or "observer," which includes knowledge, personality traits, and character—is conserved after physical death and is eventually absorbed into this large reservoir8....

2. The Hologram Principle: In this model, the brain is said to store information holographically, which is the most compact storage device known in Nature18.... The universal mind itself is located within the inner torus of the universe, surrounded by protospace4....

The Holographic Mechanism

The formation of the Universal Mind Hologram relies on the periodic expansion of consciousness:

• The Observer and Omnipresence: The psyche, or "observer," is the nonmaterial entity within us12.... Our bodies act as oscillators, and every living thing undergoes a pulsation12.... When the body reaches a point of rest in its oscillation (about fourteen times a second), the observer, having no physical mass, expands at practically infinite speeds into a spacelike dimension for a very short period of objective time4.... Moving at almost infinite speed allows the observer to be present everywhere at once, achieving a state of omnipresence33....

• Coherent Interaction: To form the hologram, the information contained in the expanding observer must behave in a coherent fashion29.... As our observers rapidly expand in the spacelike dimension, they form interference patterns by interacting with the information from other "observers" throughout the universe1....

• The Absolute as Reference: This constant interaction occurs against the background of the Absolute, which serves as the reference frequency1.... In this analogy, the Absolute is the "inexperienced, naive beam," while the observers are the "working beam"34....

Accessing Universal Knowledge

Since the Universal Mind is an information hologram, it makes all knowledge that was ever generated potentially available to us3.... Communication throughout the universe is continuous and instantaneous through this mechanism, meaning there is no time lag, even across astronomical distances3....

• Intuitive Insight: People who experience "intuitive insights" receive solutions directly from the universal mind354. This intuitive knowledge often comes in large chunks imprinted on the mind in a fraction of a second, which is later decoded into normal linear thought55....

• Levels of Consciousness: The ability to tap this knowledge depends on the individual's level (quality) of consciousness or frequency response60.... Individuals with high levels of consciousness can expand their subjective time greatly, enabling them to "extend their stay" in the universal mind to observe and bring back useful information2....

• Clarity: The clarity of the information gained depends on how far the observer can penetrate the spacelike dimension60.... The information density is greatest toward the central axis of the universe's torus52.... Just as illuminating a larger portion of a physical hologram yields a sharper image, higher levels of consciousness allow for clearer perception of past or future events62....

Discuss Nature of Reality.

The nature of reality, as discussed in the sources, transcends the conventional scientific materialist view, proposing a holistic model that encompasses physical, observable components alongside other "realities" such as the emotional, mental, and intuitive components of existence12.

The Limitations of Physical Science in Defining Reality

The current scientific establishment is often viewed as being "locked into a view of reality that has outlived its usefulness"34. Physical science does not necessarily deal with reality itself; rather, it has generated a set of consistency relationships designed to explain common experience based on the limitations and capabilities of our physical sensory-perception mechanisms56. The framework of physical laws is built on definitions of mass, charge, space, and time, quantities which are not fully understood but are defined as having unchanging properties57.

However, the sources suggest that human evolution is leading into a period where qualities of the human being can "change, or deform, these basic quantities," necessitating a corresponding alteration of existing physical laws to embrace this new experience7....

The Foundational Nature of Reality: Vibration and the Void

In this alternative model, objective physical reality is fundamentally non-static and vibratory10....

1. Vibratory Reality: The entire reality can be associated with "sound" (periodic change) of one kind or another10.... Starting from the nucleus of an atom (vibrating at enormous rates, about $10^{22}$ Hz) and extending to molecules and macro-structures, everything is associated with characteristic vibratory rates10....

2. The Void and Fields: Under high magnification, solid reality dissolves into a vast empty space filled with pulsating, oscillating electromagnetic fields18.... This void is the common denominator of all matter—its ground substance—and permeates and connects all creation2223.

3. Movement and Existence: Tangible reality exists for us only as long as there is movement or change occurring between two states of rest24.... The Tibetan Masters state that the "tangible world is movement, not a collection of moving objects, but movement itself"28....

The Components of Creation: The Absolute and the Relative

Creation is divided into two inseparable components: the absolute and the relative31....

The Absolute (Pure Consciousness)

The absolute is the sum total of consciousness in the universe and its source34.... It serves as an immutable reference line or background against which all else in creation can be measured39....

Key characteristics of the Absolute:

• State of Rest/Potential Energy: It implies no motion, no action, and total rest (analogous to the calm surface of a deep sea)37.... This nonvibratory base may be called the absolute protospace46....

• Infinite Velocity: This state of total rest is paradoxically equivalent to infinitely fast motion39....

• Reconciliation of Opposites: The absolute is a level in Nature where contrasting concepts, such as movement and rest, or extremes like black and white, good and evil, become reconciled and merged into one "Is"-ness41....

• Creative Potential: The absolute is defined as a high-energy creative potential combined with intelligence, which adds a self-organizing capability to any entity in creation54....

The Relative (Manifest Reality)

The relative is the visible, manifest, and changing aspect of creation, which is always based on the absolute3133. The relative arises when vibration or motion (ripples) appears on the surface of the absolute57....

• Matter and Mind: There is no basic difference between mind and matter; both are made of the same basic stuff (pure consciousness)33....

• Frequency and Energy: Solid matter corresponds to large, coarse, slower waves (low energy) of the relative component, while mind or consciousness is made up of much finer, higher-frequency ripples (high energy)40.... Mind "over" matter is therefore not control over a foreign entity, but mind "over" a different aspect of itself6062.

• Holographic Nature: The concept of reality as an interference pattern of waves is central, leading to the description of the physical body as a four-dimensional hologram22.... When all these different realities are taken together, they form a large hologram of interacting fields7273. Nature's "large information-storage hologram" is called the universal mind74....

The Spectrum of Realities and Consciousness

Reality is organized as a continuous spectrum of realities, which are synonymous with different levels of consciousness79.... The arrow of evolution points toward the absolute, implying that all matter moves toward higher levels of consciousness34....

• Evolution of Consciousness: Consciousness resides in all matter, starting from the atom, and varies in quantity (number of responses to a stimulus) and quality (degree of refinement, expressed in frequency response)87.... As evolution progresses, matter combines into more complex systems (mineral, plant, animal, human, etc.), leading to increasingly higher levels of consciousness34....

• Human Reality: Most people experience reality through a tiny window72.... The human frequency-response band represents the strong interaction (resonance) of the nervous system with our immediate environment95....

• Altered States and Other Realities: Psychic phenomena like telepathy, clairvoyance, and out-of-body experiences are explained by functioning in altered states of consciousness73.... These states allow access to realities normally unavailable, such as the astral (emotional/dream)73..., mental, and causal (intuitive) levels83....

• The Observer and Subjective Time: When a person is in an altered state of consciousness (like meditation or deep dreaming), their subjective time-space coordinates separate and rotate relative to the objective coordinates105.... This allows the "observer" (the psyche/soul, a nonphysical entity) to expand rapidly into space, approaching infinite speeds (omnipresence), and experience more subjective time107.... This expansion of consciousness is synonymous with an expansion into space107....

• Instantaneous Communication: Because the psyche periodically expands into a spacelike dimension at almost infinite velocities, all creation is in constant and instantaneous contact on the level of the spacelike universe120.... Knowledge (generated across the universe) is stored in this interference pattern (the universal mind hologram) and is potentially available to anyone who can extend their subjective time to observe it77....

Discuss Sound Waves Vibration.

The concepts of sound, waves, and vibration are foundational to understanding reality, consciousness, and the mechanics of the universe described in the sources12. Itzhak Bentov devotes a chapter to "Sound, Waves and Vibration," defining these concepts and demonstrating their behavior through various physical examples, ultimately applying them to the human body and the nature of matter itself34.

The Nature of Sound and Vibration

Sound is fundamentally generated when the air is disturbed56.

• Definition: Sound refers to any random acoustical disturbance composed of many different frequencies78. A note is a sound of a single frequency78.

• Generation: The slightest motion of our bodies disturbs the surrounding air, producing sound, often below the level of human perception (infrasound)5.... When these movements are periodic, the sound becomes a note58.

• Universal Broadcasting: Even the smallest, most seemingly insignificant actions are theorized to be broadcast far and wide, influencing the environment910. For example, when a wire is briefly heated by electricity, it expands and forces air out, creating a kind of sound. Simultaneously, the accelerated mass produces gravitational waves, and the current generates a magnetic field, all expanding to the end of the universe at the velocity of light10....

• Vibratory Reality: The entire universe and our reality are fundamentally described as vibratory reality, based on constant periodic change, or "sound"14.... All components, from the atomic nucleus (vibrating at enormous rates) to electrons and molecules, are associated with characteristic vibratory rates14. Everything is oscillating between two states of rest17.

Key Wave Phenomena

The behavior of sound and waves illustrates key principles fundamental to the model of consciousness presented in the sources:

1. Standing Waves

A standing wave occurs when a vibrating medium (like a string or a metal plate) is divided into integral numbers of half wavelengths19....

• Nodes: These waves feature points of rest, called nodes, where minimum motion occurs, while the rest of the medium vibrates19....

• Resonance: The existence of a standing wave implies the structure is in resonance, meaning it vibrates at a natural frequency easily sustained by it2627.

• Order from Sound: Standing waves can be used to introduce order into disorganized suspensions of particles. When a box containing fluid and dispersed particles is vibrated synchronously, the particles aggregate in a symmetrical, three-dimensional pattern resembling a highly enlarged crystal. This process demonstrates that a crystalline structure might represent sound interacting in a volume28.... It suggests that the orderly pattern of atoms in matter could result from the interaction of "sound waves" in matter3031.

2. Interference Patterns

Interference patterns are created when waves cross and interact25....

• Constructive Interference: Occurs when the hills (crests) and valleys (troughs) of two waves of identical frequency and amplitude align (are "in phase"), resulting in a wave form twice the original height34....

• Destructive Interference: Occurs when the hills of one wave align with the valleys of another ("out of phase"), causing them to cancel each other out, resulting in a flat line34....

• Hologram: An interference pattern of light waves recorded on a photographic plate is called a hologram25.... The chaos of the pattern actually stores information, such that illuminating the surface can reconstruct a three-dimensional image of the original source4344.

3. Beat Frequencies

A beat frequency results when two differing frequencies are superimposed45....

• The amplitude (or "volume") of the sound increases and decreases periodically, resulting in a modulation of the basic sound48....

• The frequency of this modulation (the beat frequency) is the numerical difference between the two original frequencies (e.g., 60 Hz minus 50 Hz equals a 10 Hz beat frequency)48....

• This phenomenon is identified as a beautiful device for converting high frequencies to low ones4351.

• In the context of reality, solid matter can be visualized as a beat frequency caused by the interaction of two slightly different "sounds" from the absolute (pure consciousness), resulting in waves of much lower frequency and higher amplitude (physical realities)54....

4. Oscillators and Resonance

An oscillator is defined as any object that moves in a regular, periodic manner (i.e., vibrates)47....

• Rhythm Entrainment: This is the tendency of nature to find it more economical in terms of energy for periodic events or oscillators that are close in frequency to occur in phase or "in step" with each other47....

• Resonant Systems: A system comprising two tuned oscillators of identical resonant frequencies (such as two tuned violins) allows for optimum energy transfer and responds to the tiniest signal47....

Application to the Human Body

The principles of sound and vibration apply directly to the human physical form:

• The Heart-Aorta System: The heart is a major noise-maker, and each beat shakes the entire body69.... The irregular movement of the body during normal breathing is caused by a destructive interference pattern set up in the aorta when the heart pulse collides with its rebound echo72....

• Body Resonance (7 Hz): When breathing stops, the heart-aorta system can become a resonant system, acting like a tuned musical instrument72.... The body movement turns into a harmonious, regular, large-amplitude sine-wave pattern, occurring about seven times a second (7 Hz)77.... This $7 \text{ Hz}$ frequency is the natural frequency of the normal body and requires minimal energy for sustenance77....

• Resonance in Meditation: In deep meditation, the body's micromotion frequency (6.8 to 7.5 Hz) suggests a tuned resonant system with the earth-ionosphere cavity (which also resonates at about 7.5 cycles per second)6781. A charged, vibrating body is coupled well to the planet's electrostatic field, meaning the body's rhythmic movements (such as the 7 Hz "sound" emitted by meditating individuals) propagate far and wide and can entrain others approaching that resonant frequency82....

• Microscopic Vibration of Matter: At a fundamental level, atoms of matter vibrate at extremely high rates, around $10^{15}$ Hz at room temperature85.... This means that matter is highly likely to be constantly "blinking off and on" at this rate87....

• Consciousness and Vibration: The objective reality of matter dissolves, under high magnification, into a rapidly pulsating matrix of oscillating energy fields91.... This indicates that matter and mind are made of the same basic substance, with solid matter being composed of larger, slower waves or ripples, and mind being composed of much finer ripples (higher frequency), implying greater energy9495.

Discuss Stress and Evolution.

The concepts of stress and evolution are deeply interconnected in the provided material, primarily through the development of consciousness and the refinement of the nervous system1....

Evolution and the Development of Consciousness

Evolution is presented as the central organizing principle of the universe56.

1. The Goal of Evolution: The Creator invented the laws of evolution to refine consciousness to a point where it resembles Him in all attributes5.... The universe, through evolution (its incentive system), seeks to impart knowledge to sentient beings so they can move along the evolutionary ladder and develop their consciousness to the highest possible degree8....

2. The Direction of Evolution: The arrow of evolution points upward toward the absolute, implying that all matter, starting from the atom, is moving up in levels of consciousness until it finally reaches the absolute11.... As matter combines and becomes more complex, forming more intricate nervous systems, the quality of consciousness increases12....

3. Accelerating Evolution: The human nervous system has a tremendous potential for development, which normally occurs over millennia through biological evolution12. However, this evolution can be accelerated by utilizing certain techniques, such as systematic meditation, although spontaneous evolution can also occur116. The development of the nervous system is synonymous with the expansion of consciousness1718.

The Role of Stress in Consciousness and Evolution

Stress is viewed as a physical and emotional impediment to achieving higher levels of consciousness, and its removal is essential for accelerated evolution.

Stress as a Barrier to Higher Consciousness

Emotional stresses are understood to be imprinted on the physical body1920. Psychosomatic diseases serve as an index of the amount of stress accumulated in the body2122.

When the body is filled with stresses, the nervous system is too busy handling them, resulting in too much "noise" or "jitteriness" in the system21.... This condition severely limits the nervous system's potential for attaining higher states of consciousness21....

Stress Release and System Purification

To allow the nervous system to rise to higher levels, these stresses—which are energy patterns—must be converted and eliminated from the body2123.

1. General Stress Release: Conversion often takes the form of involuntary body movements during meditation, direct emotional releases (crying, depression), or temporary localized pain24.... Meditation combined with light body-toning exercises is considered the most effective, inexpensive, and fastest system for stress removal24....

2. Kundalini: The Ultimate Stress-Release Mechanism: The Physio-Kundalini Syndrome is described as the ultimate stress-relieving system, connected with the accelerated evolution of the nervous system28....

◦ The sequence of symptoms associated with Kundalini spreads along the sensory cortex of the brain28....

◦ Symptoms become troublesome only when the unfolding Kundalini reaches areas of stress in the body32....

◦ The severity of symptoms is proportional to the degree of stress encountered31.... Symptoms persist until the stresses in that particular area are released, often manifesting as localized pain31....

◦ Once the Kundalini has completed its circuit, the body is basically free of deep-seated stresses, and the system will not allow the further accumulation of stress31....

◦ The completion of the Kundalini circuit marks the "coming of age" of the nervous system, enabling it to function more fully on ever higher levels of consciousness3738. It is considered the necessary correlate of spiritual development, the next stage in the evolution of the nervous system34.

Cosmic and Planetary Stress

The drive for evolution is maintained by the constant interaction of opposing forces: good and evil39.... Good stands for knowledge of the Creator's laws and aiding evolution, while evil stands for ignorance and slowing the process6.... This constant interaction accelerates evolution itself6....

Furthermore, large consciousnesses also experience stress:

• Planetary Stress: The planet Earth is viewed as a very large being with a rudimentary consciousness that requires balance43.... Things that unbalance this system cause stress (including emotional stress) in this large consciousness44.... When the imbalance is too great, the planet responds with natural catastrophes to return to balance4546.

• Cosmic Event Matrices: The universe contains event matrices, which are field patterns embedded in space-time designed to stimulate, balance, or depress tendencies within our psyches39.... As the Earth crosses a stress-producing event matrix, susceptible segments of mankind become agitated, resulting in predictable patterns like war6.... The causes behind the war event remain constant—greed, hatred, intolerance—only the technology changes49....
