Posted by The Absolute is the holy grail of destinations. Every self-appointed spiritual master, guru, yogi, student of life, and snake oil salesman likes to try and tell us how to reach this destination.
The easiest way to describe the Absolute is to look to the research and findings of quantum physicists. And a good starting point is the US Dept of Defence Report on the Munroe Institute Gateway Hemi-Sync System for Out of Body Travel (Hemi-Sync”), which addressed the subject of what the Absolute is.
To reach the Absolute, human consciousness needs to expand beyond its normal functioning state in the physically confined world we live in. This can be done through the brain hemisphere synchronisation technique (“hemi-sync”) which allows it to transcend the space-time dimension.
The technique creates a particular state of consciousness which is reached when the EEG patterns of both brain hemispheres (left and right) are simultaneously equal in amplitude and frequency. The effect is similar to yoga’s “one pointedness”, where brain energy is focused into a narrower and narrower frequency band. Once the frequency and amplitude of the brain are rendered coherent, the sound frequencies of hemi-sync can allow the human mind to resonate at ever higher frequencies. Reaching higher frequencies is vital in transcending the time-space dimension we live in.
Zen masters have stated that the hemi-sync system replicates the meditative state within the timeframe of a one week course which takes twenty (20) years or more of meditative practice of Zen masters. All hemi-sync is doing is creating energy field changes in the human body. Quantum physicists have shown that the human body is nothing more than a complex system of energy fields, which is what the Munroe Institute realised when creating the hemi-sync system that so interested the US Dept of Defence (DOD).
Hemi-Sync works through the reality that we exist within a hologram. Energy creates, stores and retrieves meaning in the universe by projecting and expanding at certain frequencies in a three-dimensional mode that creates a living pattern called a “hologram”. The DOD Report states that the universe is one giant hologram of immense complexity. Pribam and Bohm, world-renowned quantum physicists, went on to state that the human mind is also a hologram which attunes itself to the universal hologram by the medium of energy exchange thereby deducing meaning and achieving the state called consciousness.
There are two forms of energy, energy in motion and energy at rest. Energy in motion generates holograms, and energy at rest can’t do so. Time-space consists of confined energy, whereas energy not confined is infinity, outside the dimension of time, with no boundaries to limit it.
Energy in infinity is energy at rest, which is what quantum physicists call “The Absolute”. Between the Absolute and the “material” universe (which humans inhabit) are various intervening dimensions to which human consciousness can access in altered states through the subtle bodies humans possess beyond the physical body.
On reaching the Absolute, which is the completion of our spiritual journey, perception stops because the Absolute generates no holograms of or about itself. This is “home”. The DOD Report explains in immense detail the quantum basis for reaching the Absolute and traversing the dimensions to reach it, but that is too detailed for this blog.
Gnostics call the Absolute the Pleroma, the Kabbalah calls it En-Sof, and Buddhists call it Sunyata. This they say is where the true God exists, and is where our Essence derives from. Here on Earth, we are trapped and enslaved and for those interested in exiting and ceasing to be recycled back into this physical world, much discussion centres on how to return to the Absolute on death. Most systems proposed by so-called spiritual masters are ridiculously complex and will never achieve that goal. Simple systems are better.
Richard Rose, a spiritual teacher in the Gurdjieff hard-school style, who died two decades ago after the final decade of his life was spent in dementia, has recently become fashionable since various pupils at his farm/school wrote books about his work.
It is said that he ”reached the Absolute”, but this is unlikely, based on the DOD Report, and the research of quantum physicists. What he really had was a powerful near-death experience, and perhaps a “glimpse” of the beyond. His “experience”, which resembles many classic features of NDEs and Out-of-Body travelling, led him to wish to share his discoveries, which many “enlightened” people tend to do.
The nature of his experience, a powerful NDE, is made clear in the excellent 2002 book After the Absolute by David Gold. Rose’s teachings are generally too complex but can be considered helpful in understanding the unreal world we live in. This will be the subject of a blog at another time.
But like all spiritually awake people, Rose understood the basic philosophy about exiting this realm. Gegenheimer & Nevins’ 2022 short guide to Rose’s teachings, Passages, stated this well:
No matter how much money you get, you’re going to have to part with it sooner or later. But that which you are, that which you become, you don’t have to part with.
Now that is worth working on.
