The Singularity of the Heart

“The Lord, O Arjuna, dwells in the Heart of every being, and He by his delusive power spins round all beings set as if on a machine” – Krishna’s words in the Gìta

The Eastern spiritual traditions have always emphasized the core importance of the Heart in relation to the human soul, consciousness and God. The seat of the Self, they say, resides within the Heart and from this center the whole world arise. But to really understand the significance of this statement, in the context of the holofractographic universe theory, we must go beyond just its symbolical meaning. If we look to the medicinal teachings of the east, transmitted to us through the ancient Upanishads, we find that the human body is invariably viewed as an expression of subtle energy or prana (from the Sanskrit root “full”). Central to these schools are the etheric, or in our case, hyperdimensional topology of the body’s energy field. This field is often described as a rotating torus with vortexes entering at the crown of the head and the bottom of the spine, spiraling through the spinal column creating seven nexus points, or whorls of focused energy, called chakras (Sanskrit for “wheel” or “turning”). These nexus points are said to be vortices of subtle energies flowing through the body, transferring energy and information between the physical and “divine realm”. In the Upanishads the various chakras of the human body are also associated with different geometric symbols, signifying each individual chakra’s connection to a specific element. Interestingly the Heart chakra, “Anahata“, is invariably depicted as a hexagram ordained with twelve lotus petals. The upward triangle is said to symbolize Shiva, the male principle and the downward triangle symbolizes Shakti, the female principle. A perfect balance is attained when these two forces are joined together in harmony. As we have seen, the hexagram is an absolutely central geometry in the HFU model, pointing to the polarized tetrahedral structure of the vacuum. Also, twelve converging vectors around a center is the geometry of the vacuum singularity: the cubeoctahedron. As we shall see, these similarities are more than mere coincidence…

Modern science has recently discovered that the heart emits very high levels of radiation. In fact it is now known that the heart is the largest generator of electromagnetic energy in the body, and measurements reveal that the frequency of the heart’s energy field is 5000 times stronger than that of the brain! This field moves at the speed of light and extends up to 12 feet around the body, unimpeded by organic tissues. This alone should compel us to reconsider the role of the heart within our body. The HeartMath Institute has found that negative emotions of stress, anger or frustration are associated with erratic and incoherent patterns in the heart’s rhythm, whereas positive emotions of love and compassion leads to smooth, coherent ones. They have also discovered that changes in the heart’s rhythmic coherency, creates corresponding changes in its electromagnetic field. High coherency (positive emotions) generates smooth sine-wave like patterns, making the field more organized. Incoherency make it more asymmetric and disorganized. Neurocardiologic research has shown that the heart communicates with the brain in several ways: neurologically (transmission of nerve impulses), biochemically (hormones and neurotransmitters) and biophysically (pressure waves). Now we have evidence of direct, coherent energetic communication through electromagnetic field interactions as well. Using electrocardiographic (ECG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) instruments (for meassuring heart and brain waves) it has even been scientifically verified that when two people are in proximity of each other the “heart field” of one person affects the brainwaves of another! Not only is the energy and information flowing through your heart’s energy field transmitted throughout your body and brain, but it interacts with other people as well, communicating your internal state to the envirnoment.

Taking these meassurments into consideration with the Holofractographic model describing the universe as embedded black hole singularities it becomes not so unreasonable to suggest that our heart may contain its own singularity at its core, and accordingly a topology of a dual torus creating a powerful electromagnetic energy field surrounding it. Interestingly it is a known fact that the body loose a certain amount of weight upon its death, again suggesting the presence of a gravitational curvature in the space-time continuum permeating the body. It is interesting to note that ancient texts suggests that we have a hyperdimensional energy field around the body in the implosive geometry as well, assuming the shape of a star-tetrahedron.

This generates quite a different scenario in which the Heart is like a biophysical Sun in the solar system of our body. The singularity of the heart keeps the system alive, while radiating energy throughout the body and gravitating the system towards wholeness, organization and order. As we have seen, the cells of our body are actually billions of mini black holes, spinning at the speed of light. Yet the singularity of the Heart may be the crucial fractal resolution (ref. scaling law) through which these billions of smaller cells stay organized and coherent relative to each other. Without the Sun the solar system disintegrates. In the same way the Heart may be the sustainer of the bodily form, keeping it coherent and alive. What we call “death” may only be this black hole singularity of the Heart changing frequency (scale resolution), and the consquent disorganization of mini black holes comprising the body. Yet nothing is lost as energy is continuously recycled through the vacuum state. The singulairty only reorganize to other frequencies of the Cosmic Symphony.

As I touch upon in other posts, the dual-torus topology of space-time may also provide us with a mechanical basis for understanding consciousness, wherein perceptions and the sense of self arise as information flows into vacuum singularity. If this is the case, the seat of Consciousness may well be found to originate from the Heart and not the brain, again echoing the ancient teachings of the east. If we within our own heart have infinite curvature towards Cosmic Singularity and oneness with the Infinite then, truly, our heart is the Heart of God.

Both intuitively and culturally we treasure the Heart, and quite instinctively we refer to it as the seed of life and soul. Our science however has been drawn to the complexities of neurons and grey matter in the brain and, perhaps prematurely, declared it to be the seat of our self aware being. Now, as this chasm between our science and intuition can heal, we may reclaim our rightful place in the Heart, and gravitate back towards our God-given state of oneness and unconditional Love.

Eastern Wisdom & Western Science

“OM – That supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned Brahman is infinite. The infinite proceeds from the infinite. Then through knowledge, realizing the infinitude of the infinite, it remains as infinite alone.” – Mundaka Upanisad

Let’s take a look at the most general similarities between Eastern spiritual philosophy and the Holofractographic  theory (as a model of consciousess).

The visible world is composed of black holes/white holes, and they appear to us as separate objects in space; stars, planets, cells, atoms etc. Yet behind their separate event horizons, at the center of every atom, planet and star, we find the vacuum singularity, the point in which all points of the universe are entangled to one. Although two atoms may be separated by several light years, behind their event horizon they are the same. It really doesn’t matter where the radiating white hole portions are relative each other, at vacuum singularity they unite. This is reflected beautifully as both a philosphical and a scientific statement: our external part is the relative and finite world and our internal part is the realm of the Absolute; the infinite and unchanging Spirit.

In the Hindu philosophy of Advaita (meaning “not two”) it is said that Brahman, the transcendent, unchanging reality, is identical to Atman, the individual soul. Likewise in the Holofractographic universe we observe the same fact: each individual singularity is actually the Cosmic Singularity. The vacuum connects all. Even the word “singularity” states that it is individual and singular in nature. In a space-time continuum with infinite curvature nothing is outside its influence, everything is in the same extreme curve, and thus there is only One. And as we know the One has been voiced with many names throughout the seasons of Man.

Let’s revisit the quote at the beginning to catch the most obvious connections:

“That supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned Brahman is infinite“

This sentence signifies that even in limited, conditioned form Brahman is unlimited. In the HFU model there is actually one singularity, the infinite energy potential of the vacuum. There is also only one event horizon, the perceivable world, and it appears folded into the visible structures we see around us. Yet the event horizon of a black hole is not boundary as such. It is just an appearance. It is where information transfers between infinite potential and finite state. In reality there is only the sea of vacuum energy, and like we see ripples under the silent ocean we see visible structures in the vacuum. But still it is only the ocean, only Brahman, pretending to be conditioned and finite.

“The infinite proceeds from the infinite.”

The word Brahman signifies “growth”, telling us that even as the infinite, Brahman grows forever. The spacetime manifold never ceases to grow forms from the vacuum. Infinite potential and finite form is weaved together in the fractal geomtery of space-time; they are inseparable. This recursive growth is never ending, and it produces creative black hole horizons in endless resolutions of scale, from which information flows out from the infinite potential of the vacuum. Form proceeds from the vacuum, yet the vacuum contains all form.

“Then through knowledge, realizing the infinitude of the infinite, it remains as infinite alone.“

Eastern non dual schools teach that Liberation from the wheel of suffering (samsara) is gained through the realization of Truth. True achievement, they say, is to see beyond the relative world and rest in the Absolute. Thus realizing our true nature as the Infinite means eternal freedom from identification with the transient world. Yet this has always been our natural, unchanging state. The equilibrium of Being is timeless, and is not affected the least by our realizing its eternal Truth.

*

Evidently, the philosophical and spiritual implications of this theory are not trivial. The HFU model really signals the union between the ancient wisdom of the east and the modern science of the west, a union predicted and hoped for by both sages and scientists throughout the centuries. The perfect way in which the two now meet is almost uncanny. The mystical traditions of the east, from Hindu philosophy to Zen practice, are invariably non dualistic. They emphasize that we are not at all separate from our world, but identical to it. They point to the transcendent and permanent reality underlying all things, and emphasize the illusory nature of the transient, phenomenal world, called “Māyā”. Identification with Māyā bring suffering, transcendence of it ultimately leads to Liberation. Western culture, being inherently oriented towards surfaces, has had difficulties integrating this perspective, but with this unification of physics we are finally provided with a concrete, intellectual understanding of non dualism, promising to finally bridge the gap between East and West.

Unifying Consciousness

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.” – Albert Einstein

The ultimate goal and promise of a Grand Unification Theory is to unite all branches of science under a common tree. With a complete understanding of the physics of our universe we can simplify and shed away layers of unnecessary complexities across the sciences, effectively fusing them into a coherent body of knowledge. This has indeed been the dream of great minds throughout the ages, and it is exactly what the Holofractographic model promise to accomplish. In the light of this unified knowledge we are required to take a second look at sciences such as biology, psychology and consciousness research, among others. For instead of viewing biological life and consciousness as randomly evolved phenomena, we may conclude that they too are the direct result of the geometry of space-time. We needn’t put any extra causal chains between consciousness, biological life and the universal mechanics. If visible reality emerges as the result of the topology of space-time (dual torus), it is reasonable to assume that our bodies too are the result of this dynamic. The HFU model actually points out that the biological cell obeys the conditions of a black hole singularity! If that is the case we are indeed cosmic creatures, made of trillions of mini black holes spinning at the speed of light while in continuous information transfer with the Infinite…

What then is life and consciousness all about?

The HFU theory provides us with a simple, mechanical understanding of what we call consciousness. Whereas current science views self-awareness as an epiphenomenon of complex electrochemical reactions in the human brain, this new view presents consciousness as inseparable from the topology of space-time itself. They are actually the same. The dynamical feed-back loop of information transfer with the vacuum potential is happening at the speed of light and it is what we experience as consciousness. Information is flowing out from the event horizon, as it simultaneously flows back into to the vacuum singularity, creating the feed-back phenomenon of self awareness. Thus our modern science may have “confused the telephone with the conversation”, so to speak. The topology of consciousness (or space-time) is what produces the body and its electrochemical processes, not the other way around! Consciousness is not produced by the biology of brains, but is rather a quality of space itself, intrinsic to how the universe functions.

Actually it is the infinite vacuum potential that is aware of itself, as information flows through the topology of space

The topology of space is, in a way, the structure of the universal consciousness. It is the dynamic through which the vacuum potential expresses and learns about itself, and evolves into various shapes and structures, according to the laws of sacred geometry. And these forms we percieve as mysterious planets, twinkling stars, mighty trees and wondrous humans. The same dynamic at different scales manifests the Symphony of Creation from the infinite energy potential of the vacuum. Actually it is the Infinite that is aware of itself, as information flows through its fractal topology. This brings to mind the core teaching of the Eastern spiritual schools: everything is consciousness.

***

In the end this brings us to a complete overhaul of our world view, far reaching in its implications. Suddenly the universe is imbued with Life, and that life is none but the life of our own! Thus the modern world may awake again to the perennial fact: we are the Universe, and this vast cosmos is our own body. For ages enlightened masters has told us this, everything has consciousness, and now we may see how. Atoms, planets and stars, everything are living expressions of the Cosmic Singularity observing its own Infinitude, and that infinite expanse is at the Heart of our own Being.
