Beyond The Horizon – Life After Life

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” – T.S. Eliot

In a Holofractographic Universe life after life is as evident as Life itself. Consciousness is an emergent phenomena of the space-time topology and thus what we call life is a continuation of experience extending beyond the bodily form. We’re all part of an endless journey that carry us beyond ever new event horizons, so what happens on that day when we do cross our own horizon into the vast unknown?

Stages of Life after Life

Near death experiences (NDEs) offers invaluable clues to the nature of existence and consciousness, and upon examining the accounts of people having gone through such experiences one often sees an interesting commonality in the use of physics words like “energy”, “space”, “frequency”, “amplitude”, “fractals”, “tunnels” and even “black holes”. The accounts often suggests subtle structure beyond what is visible via the known electromagnetic spectrum. If consciousness is a phenomenon arising from the topology of space itself, it is also reasonable to assume that coherent structure, and the experience of physics, goes on after bodily death.

Often a person having a NDE describes a very vivid state in which his consciousness seems as if amplified, often described as “an increase of frequency” or “feeling more alive than when in the body”. Their consciousness seems to merge into the surrounding space itself, enveloping buildings, people and trees. However, floating above the deceased body, what is usually first noticed is their own feeling of objectivity to what is going on. The lifeless body may lie mangled beneath, yet they remain quite untouched by it. This may reflect the natural non dual nature of consciousness, always observing, like a silent witness. The topology of space-time continues to process information like before, but now the bodily emotions no longer distort its pure nature.

People who go through an NDE are surprised by the fact that their mind seem wholly intact. They still think to themselves, often puzzeled about what just ocurred, and in fact most often the deceased (correctly) believes himself to still be alive! This often leads to confusing situations where the discarnate soul tries in vain to interact with its environment. But in the end, often through interaction with higher beings or entities, this leads to the person realizing the fact that his time has come.

Upon this realization the NDE seems to go into a different phase. Whereas the first moments most often is spent near the discarnate body or with living loved ones, this next phase seems to transport the soul into different realm altogether – beyond our own horizon. Most often the person passes through a tunnel with an alluring light in the end. Interestingly many people describe the tunnel to feel very narrow or like they’re moving extremely fast, being stretched out over a vast distance. May it be that these perceptions occur as ones own position in the cosmic fractal is changing frequency or scale through wormhole-like structures?

Anyhow, the next stages are very different from person to person. Usually various spiritual imagery is seen or one meets higher beings consulting them about the life liven. The soul often feels a sense of tremendous freedom and deep emotions of eqsquisite bliss. Some describe being taken to otherworldly planets with crystalline cities and meeting friends or relatives in their soul form. People describe places much like our world, but with radiant, iridescent colors, beautiful organic buildings and people of light. It becomes immediately apparent to the discarnate soul that we are eternal beings. Some people note that, once on the other side, their previous life seemed like an instant, and their true home in the celestial realm seems obvious. The soul is filled with joy and, intuitively understanding the purpose of bodily incarnation, it may very much desire to incarnate again.

Mellen Thomas Benedict’s Near Death Experience

Few NDE reports are as descriptive and detailed as that of Mellen Thomas Benedict. His account is of special interest in relation to the Holofractographic universe theory, as he gives detailed descriptions of geometric grids, fractal space, zero-point energy and black holes! Mellen died of cancer and was clinically dead for over an hour. His memory of his experience is vivid and his descriptions are astounding to say the least. In his near death experience he inquires into the nature of Life. He then expands into the universe and come to see it as fractal structure and even describes black holes as recyclers of energy! A remarkable story and a very exciting read… You’ll find it here: Near Death Experiences – Mellen Thomas Benedict.

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.
