“God doesn’t play dice with the universe.” –Albert Einstein, David Bohm

“Whose mind is enslaved to their bestial instincts is philosophically not superior to the brute, whose rational faculties ponder human affairs is a man/woman; and he/she whose intellect is elevated to the consideration of divine realities is already a demigod, for their being partakes of the luminosity with which their reason has brought them into proximity.”

Divine Humanity is based on knowledge, my knowing, and the wisdom of radical nonduality[i] where the divine consciousness blends or interpenetrates all things, all matter, of the unseen Otherworld and our seen world/universe. All things are aware and conscious.

Let me stress again the importance that all things in creation have consciousness. For example, trees have consciousness. This consciousness is of a oneness of existence; there is no separation.^[ii] Thus, there is no need for awakening. However, human beings have a consciousness that views things dualistically with an egocentric self (unhealthy ego)^[iii] that only sees separatism. Add to this that many peoples reality is solely based on fragmented thinking.

The divine spark represents the consciousness of unity or oneness. Thus, there is the need in humans to awaken it. This then awakens us out of our “sleep walking” state of separateness into an awakened state of oneness. And as in all other things of creation, the awakening in humans is a gradual process that may eventually result in enlightenment even though one will still have human imperfections (unhealthy ego). As I have said: we are perfect in our imperfections which makes us perfect.

This is radical creative thinking in the mold of Einstein’s belief that “we have to learn to think in a new way.” My conclusion that consciousness permeates all matter comes from my firsthand experiences[iv] and logical thought. As most know, the usual physical understanding in science is that the universe consists of matter and energy, with Einstein’s equation of the two with E = mc2. If consciousness interpenetrates all matter, could there be a third factor?  There is: meaning. The nature of reality is the interpenetration of matter, energy, and meaning. And you cannot come to this conclusion with fragmented thinking. We must view the whole not pieces of reality as science does today. This is the paradigm of separation thinking that underlies all the sciences and religious institutions that are bastions of fear (separation) not love (oneness/unity).

Moreover, fragmented thinking is one of the root causes of stupidity. Stupidity breeds ignorance, arrogance, false views, anger, and fear.

In stark contrast to Western ways of thinking about the nature of reality being external and mechanistic, Divine Humanity considers our separateness an illusion, a necessary illusion, and signifies that there is a deeper level of reality, we, as well as all the particles that make up all matter, are one and indivisible.

I am not alone in stating these principles. One of the greatest minds and the first to state these principles was physicist David Bohm (1917 – 1992), a colleague of Albert Einstein. I have a knowing of the truth of his principles based on my firsthand experiences of the Otherworld or transcendent world beyond space and time, which Bohm terms the “implicate order.”

The Otherworld, the transcendent unseen realm, is Bohm’s implicate order, the source of all the visible explicate matter of our time-space universe. The implicate order has infinite depth. The world we live in is multidimensional. The most obvious and superficial level is the three-dimensional world of objects, space and time, which he calls the “explicate order.” And this, he says, is the level at which most of physics operates today, presenting its findings in equations whose meaning is unclear. A clearer understanding becomes possible only by moving to a deeper level, the implicate order. The implicate order is the enfolded order, which unfolds into reality as we perceive it and in which things are separate.

In Bohm’s view, the implicate order is infinite – there could be a super-implicate order, even a super-super-implicate order and so on – each level being more subtle than the last. The source of everything is enfolded in the whole. More about this latter (Seven Universes of the Transcendent Otherworld).

***

The implicate order is the realm of pure information, meaning, from which the physical, observable phenomena unfold. Unlike classical physics where reality is viewed as particles of separate, independent elements, Bohm proposed that the fundamental reality is the continuous enfoldment (into the implicate order) and unfoldment (of the explicate order) from the subtle realms. In this flow, matter and space are each part of the whole.

For example, in my attempt to shine light on the issue of abortion, I have expressed my theory and belief that the fetus is not an ensouled human being until it is birthed. At birth, the soul from the Otherworld or implicate order, enters into the baby with her/his first breath and cry. We are born with a consciousness of radical nonduality. But within a period of time, possibly short, it is over shadowed by a dualistic consciousness.

According to Bohm, the movement and flow of the implicate order are hard-wired into human brains, (radical nonduality) in the same way that Chomsky (American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, social critic, and political activist) asserts that grammar is hard- wired into the human brain, but that by way of contrast, the classical space and time of the explicate order are something that has to be learnt by experience (duality).

Furthermore, Bohm relates movement to the implicate order; for movement, we can also read change or flow or the coherence of our perception of a piece of music over a short period of time. Evidence for this is claimed to derive from studies of infants (30. Piaget, 1956), who have to learn about space and time (duality), which are seen as part of the explicate order, but appear to have a hard-wired understanding of movement that is implicate (radical nonduality).

One of my original manuscripts from 1998 was titled: Holy Blood Holy Heart – A Book of Love:

“The rich source of creation and the mysteries of life are encoded in the pulse beat of each moment of our lives. As I write this, I can feel the holy blood streaming throughout my body bringing the breath of life to each and every part of my soul.

Stop for a moment and allow yourself to feel each of your senses: feel the air that brushes your skin, feel it as it enters your body and nourishes your blood. How does this air taste? Look around and focus your eyes on the colors surrounding you, open your ears to the music of the world that is available to your hearing. Now close your eyes and with each breath experience a moment of Divinity, the gift of life.

Life is precious and not to be wasted in a wasteland of our own doing. Each one of us can transform our wasteland into a paradise on earth. In this coming Age of Aquarius, we can achieve peace on Earth and a Oneness of Humanity where we all share equally in all things and view each other as brother and sister. And we will discover that the world is truly an enchanted place where nature speaks to us, and we can truly know our own individual role in the symphony of life.”

Holy Blood

Bohm suggests that within the implicate order, consciousness is the primary awareness as contrasted with human mental cognition, a derivative in the explicate order (space–time). It is into these centers of the implicate order that information from space–time flows, and within which this information is eternally (non-temporally) stored.

It seems that consciousness is looking out from the implicate order center, everywhere, while simultaneously projecting form into the explicate order, space–time universe. Research has shown that our bodies are the receptors of consciousness from the implicate order (Otherworld).

Physiological candidates discussed as carriers of consciousness processing and information storage (storehouse memory) include infrared radiation among red blood cells[v] in the blood stream (Holy Blood).

Infrared radiation is the heat that we feel from sunlight and a fire. This points us to the fact that sunlight and fire are messengers of divine consciousness. A supposition would state that the indigenous fire ceremonies such as “burnings” (feeding the ancestors/spirits) and the Peruvian transformational fire ceremony are an external direct connection to the consciousness of the unseen cosmos, the Otherworld (implicate order).

***

I pose a question; does our blood type render to us greater or lesser aspects of consciousness? About 10 to 15 percent of the world’s population has the Rh-negative distinction. Could this be an indication. Here is a short list of Rh-negative blood types: U.S. presidents include Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, George W. Bush, Clinton and Obama. British royals Queen Elizabeth, Princes Charles, William and Harry are also part of the club. As was Princess Diana. That’s quite a list.

Could there also be another factor concerning our blood and consciousness?

Since the nineteenth century, “important concepts of life were brought to the field of physiology such as homeostasis by Walter Cannon… Dr. Canon realized the importance of balance between acid and alkaline in the body fluids, especially in the blood… An acidic condition inhibits nerve action, and an alkaline condition stimulates nerve action. One who has an alkaline blood condition can think and act (decide) well. On the other hand, one who has an acidic blood condition cannot think well or act quickly, clearly, or decisively… For a long time, I searched for a quick way to change an acidic to an alkaline condition. Finally, I found one through religious rituals. Japanese Shinto religion strongly recommends performing the misogi ritual, in which one takes a cold water bath or shower in a river, waterfall, or the ocean.”[vi]

It would seem that Fire and Water are key factors in awakening to a divine consciousness.

An ancient Vedic belief: water contained fire within itself, fire appearing to “enter into” water when quenched by it. Similarly, associations with Savitr (sun deity) could be understood as deriving from an image of the setting sun sinking into the ocean. Another theory explains the connection between fire and water through lightning, “the flash of fire born from the rain bearing clouds.”

Keep in mind radical nonduality uses the imagery and symbolism of fire blending with water. And what are the hidden teachings within this concept of fire hiding in water:  Fire hiding in water = heart (fire) hiding within our bodies (water) and with awakening the fire that has been hiding within our body is felt as an icy fire coursing through our watery body

Seven Universes of the Transcendent Otherworld (the unseen cosmos – the implicate order)

I hesitate to refer to Bohn’s orders as universes, which might give the indication that each universe or order is separate or parallel (a supposition of a few scientists), but I will utilize the term with the understanding that they are not independent or separate universes but are blended together. They may be viewed as the layers of an onion. As in an onion, when you peel one layer off, another one appears, and below that, another, and another, until the very core of the onion is reached. As Bohm stated that “there could be a super-implicate order, even a super-super-implicate order and so on – each level being more subtle than the last.”

You may ask, why seven universes? Seven is sanctified and Universal Love—the reason for the title of my most recent book: Seven Steps to Spiritual Awakening – A Book of Love in the Time of COVID-19.

Seven was Apollo’s prime number. And then there were the Seven Wise Men of Ancient Greece. The number seven was central to the symbolism of the ancients; possibly connected to heavens—the seven large stars of Ursa Major (the Great bear). Could the Great Bear’s stars have been the reasoning for the prevalence of the number seven reflected in ancient concept of the seven pillars of wisdom: “Wisdom has built her house; she has set up her seven pillars.”^[vii]

The ancients viewed the number Seven, the heptad, as “not born of any mother and is a virgin.” The Seven sacred rivers mentioned in the Rig-Veda. Surya, the Vedic sun god rides on a chariot yoked by seven horses. “Seven Stars” the familiar name of the Pleiades; Seven symbolized life for the Egyptians. Seven great Archangels. Seven Wonders of the World. Seven main musical notes.

There are seven chakras (seven lights or wheels of fire and memory) and Seven DNA Polymerase Families. Seven is the number of spiritual realization. Seven is emphatically accentuated in the Book of Revelation i.e., seven visions, seven angels, seven seals, seven thunders, and so forth. There are seven heavens, which refer to seven levels or divisions of Heaven. The seventh Jewish letter is Zayin – Victory in all worlds and endurance. Zayin means sword. It is also associated with the tongue. The tongue is a sword—a two-edged sword.

Pythagoras called seven a perfect number, making it the basis for “Music of the Spheres.” He attached great importance to the numbers seven and ten. Seven, the compound of three and four, signifies the union of man and divinity. It is the figure of the adepts, of the great initiates, and, since it expresses the complete realization in all things through seven degrees, it represents the law of evolution.”^[viii]

However, the primary reason I content that there are Seven Orders of the unseen cosmos (implicate order) comes from the knowledge that there is meaning behind our physical, observable phenomena world, which unfolds from the implicate order, the realm of pure information and meaning. A primary and essential physical and observable phenomena occurring on earth is the precession (shifting of the pole-star) of the seven pole stars.

The Seven Pole Stars

The Polar Star or Pole Star (North Star) is a star that does not set. In the course of a great year (26,000 years) there are seven of these stars that never set: known as the seven who are the lords of eternity. A North Star is a guidepost. A point of stillness in the ever-changing night sky that allows us to navigate back home. In almost every civilization, people have relied on North Stars to bring them back to their loved ones.

The amount of time each star is a pole-star is known as its “station.” The seven stations of the pole were likewise marked as seven mounds or seven mountains, each of which in turn was a type of the birthplace on high and an image of the Great Mother who brought forth her child upon the mount as the hippopotamus, the crocodile, the serpent, the vulture, the water-bird, or other type that was astronomical in heaven and totemic on the earth. One title of the Great Mother was “mistress of the mountain” when the mountain was the pole, and this celestial mountain was repeated seven times in the circle of precession; hence there are seven summits in one form or other, as mountains, mounds, altars, stones, pillars, or pyramids, answering to the seven stations of the pole.

There is a ceremony of “the seven stations of the cross,” which is supposed to commemorate the seven resting-places of the cross on the way to Calvary. But the same, or a similar procession, was celebrated at Abydos or Memphis when the tat-cross was carried round the seven resting-places that marked and memorized the seven stations of the pole.

In later times the seven planets have been mistaken for the seven stars. But these ancient pole-stars we consider to be “the seven stars” of which it is related in the tradition reproduced by Plato that after many ages they would return and meet together again in their old places as in the beginning, and apparently at the time of the last deluge of all, or, as we read it, at the end of the great year. We are now at the end of a great year of 26,000 years.

It was these and not the seven planets that could ever return to an original station at the starting point. The planets were but five in number and not seven in the most ancient astronomy. The sun, moon, and seven stars were not the seven planets of modern science. The seven, called the first of the stars, which in the beginning were in heaven, are connected with the great year according to the book of Enoch, as is shown by their being cast out until the day of the “great consummation” in “the secret year,” also called the “period of the great judgment.”

The “seven rulers of the world” manifested one by one at great intervals of time, and were a means of keeping the reckonings on a colossal scale. The age of each, as representatives of the successive pole-stars, would be from three to four thousand years, or one-seventh part of 25,868 years.

In one aspect, the seven stars were regarded as watchers watching solemnly aloof. A non-setting star was imaged as a never-closing eye. Robert Jordan in his Wheel of Time series has the Wheel of Time as a seven-spoked wheel and the Eye of the World – hidden object of Power (divine knowledge) guarded only by the Green Man.

As the tree was planted anew or re-erected seven times over, it follows that there is a typical group of seven trees, as well as the one tree with seven branches, to be met with in the mythological legends. Also, as the law was given at the pole or the tree, there would be seven trees of the law established in the course of Precession. The seven trees that stood around the mount of the pole are met with in a Chinese legend. Tradition says they grew upon the slopes of the Kun-Lin mountains; and one of them, which conferred the fruit of immortality, was a tree of jade, the imperishable stone that was a type of the eternal (Babylonian and Oriental Record, June 1888).

Seven would be the number in precession which were afterwards unified in the tree of seven branches. Other circles, other numbers. Seven trees would form the sacred grove or Asherah-tree (Nerthus Grove) which is surmounted by the seven serpent hoods conventionalized on the Chaldean cylinders as co-type of the seven branches.

There is an allusion to the seven stellar summits or mountains in one of the Assyrian hymns. Ishtar exalts her glory in several phases of phenomena. Hers was the glory from the beginning. She was the goddess of the double horizon, imaged in the glory of the morning and evening stars. As queen of heaven in the moon, her glory is said to “glow in the clouds of heaven” and to “sweep away (or efface) the mountains altogether,” as the flood of moonlight might put out the stars. These mountains, therefore, were celestial; only as such could mountains be obliterated by the glory of the goddess imaging the moon.

Thrice Seven

This is a key number in understanding “awakening.” Thrice seven is twenty-one (multiplying the prime numbers 3 and 7)   and symbolizes our three-dimensional universe times the seven-dimensional transcendent universe. Twenty-one symbolizes perfection, integrity and all powerful unity. It is the eighth number in the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. In the Bible, the number 21 is associated with resurrection – death and rebirth. It is the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new mission. Also, it is a symbol of perfection and maturity. It symbolizes the divine wisdom: “mirror of eternal light, which pierces and penetrates all in its purity.”

Lastly, we look to the Tarot, referred to as philosophical medicine. The twenty-first card is the Divine Human card known as the Fool card. It represents the person’s journey through the Tarot, which reflects their spiritual journey through life. The Major Arcane of the Tarot begins with the Magician’s card number one and completes with the World card number twenty-two. The Major Arcane, with arcane meaning secret or mysterious knowledge, may be viewed as a visual and symbolic guide to a spiritual journey. We begin the spiritual journey through our own innocence and naiveté as a fool in other people’s eyes, but after the twists and turns of life and our various experiences, we eventually arrive through perseverance at the awakening card—the twenty-first.

The twenty-first card is the card of radical nonduality[ix] represented by the Hebrew letter Shin (300) with the keyword of the attainment of perfection for humanity. Shin is divine consciousness; fire of the spirit/divine spark. It symbolizes the fire of life or the inner spark, which is the awakened divine human being that now sees the world as the divine perfection of creation. The Fool card (21^st) as an awakened divine human is symbolized by the Crown of the Magi, the Lotus Wreath, and the Harp of God (constellation Lyra).

Vega, the fifth brightest star in the sky, means “He shall be exalted.” Vega is located in the constellation Lyra (the harp), which is pictured as a harp with wings of an eagle. It represents God’s Holy Spirit.

The Lyra constellation is deeply connected to the legend of Orpheus in Greek mythology. Lyra’s pattern is believed to be cast from the shape of Orpheus’s famous magical lyre, with Vega representing its handle. Orpheus was a gifted musician whose music charmed both the living and inanimate. He is known for subduing the singing of the Sirens, as they attempted to lure Jason and the Argonauts to destruction in their search for the golden fleece. 

In 12,000 B.C. E. Vega was directly aligned with the north celestial pole for a period of time. As the Earth’s axis shifts, Vega is set to become the pole star of the North yet again in roughly 12,000-13,000 years. 

[i] Radical Nonduality states that Principle (Heart) and Knowledge (Mind) are nondual. Macrocosmically, Principle is the entire cosmos – Knowledge is the Divine Consciousness that permeates and interpenetrates the entire cosmos. The unseen world and the seen world are not opposed or separated but are two aspects of a single reality.

[ii] However, we must understand that a tree et. All. at birth was, in human terms, awakened with a consciousness of radical nonduality (oneness) and a dualistic consciousness understanding itself and its connection to all other things including humans.

[iii] The paradigms that seek the elimination of the ego are based on a philosophy of nonduality where enlightenment cannot occur on earth considering we have corruptible bodies and minds. Divine Humanity deems the ego that needs to be “tamed” and then transformed by awakening as the unhealthy ego. Once awakened we have both a healthy ego and an unhealthy one. I like myself; I would not want to strive to not be me with no ego, no concept of self.
