Toroidal Forces--Proto-Energy

Today I realized that the expulsive force that explodes outward from the center of the toroid is the same as the implosive force that presses inward from the outer shell. In the drawings below, the implosive force (coherence; love) is represented by the yellow arrows and the expulsive force (proto-energy; Ananda; joy) is represented by the white star at the middle.


Here’s how it works: imagine the yellow arrows poking into the entire surface of the toroid—not just the outside spherical portion but from the within the funnel areas, too. Now visualize the surface of the toroid in motion, flowing out the bottom of the funnel, around the outside, and back through the middle (as depicted by the white arrows in the drawing below). Keep in mind that, despite the cross-sectional views we see here, the flow is actually taking place along the entire outside spherical surface, flowing up and over the rounded hemispheric region and down into the increasingly constrained funnel, passing through the point at the center. As the inward-poking arrows slide over the lip of the funnel and begin flowing down into the funnel, the inward-from-rim-toward-center direction flips over to become the center-pointing-outward direction.

Not only does the cohesive, inward force now appear to be a repulsive, outward force, the force itself is compressed from that generated over the entire spherical surface to a tremendously concentrated, singular point exploding outward in all possible directions into the interior of the toroid.

The Simple Explanation proposes that this extremely concentrated proto-energy is held in suspension at the zero point of the universal torus, exploding outward into our material universe as the originator of the fundamental forces of physics. These forces are shaped and directed by the proto-shape of the torus itself, which is the organizational framework for the fundamental particles.

Nesting Toroidal Space--Part 3

First, please read the "Start Here--Basic Principles" on the right side of the screen.

Let's tie some previous diagrams and concepts together.

The proto-Unit of Consciousness that has imprinted its pattern upon our universe is what people of all faiths call "God." People who are not inclined toward spiritual pursuits may reject the label of an all-powerful God but still accept the impersonal Organizing Force as a mathematical concept.
 

This drawing depicts the toroidal shape of God's Mind as the outer yellow shell, and the secondary units of consciousness, UCs, as the peach-colored layer just inside. Proto-energy flows from the middle outward; coherence/love presses from the yellow shell inward
The blue space inside this universal toroid represents everything we consider to be part of our universe -- our ordinary 3 dimensions plus time.
When the consciousness of a secondary UC is in phase with the Universal UC at the zero point of Here and Now, joy and bliss are experienced. In a human, that phase alignment is experienced during numinous experiences like advanced meditation, ecstatic prayer, and other Divine encounters. Here is a drawing of a human's UC in phase with God's UC, with Chakra 4--Heart/Love--at the zero point of Here and Now.
 
The appearance of time and space, fundamental particles and forces, and dynamic spiritual-emotional-karmic patterns arise from the toroid's shape. 




Things look quite different at the material level. Rather than focusing on the toroid of the originating UC, we perceive our universe from the the very smallest toroids--elementary particles and fundamental forces released into our universe at the time of the Big Bang. 
The building blocks of our physical universe are tiny quantum clouds shaped like toroids. These tiny toroids combine at the microscopic level to form all of the variety we see around us. Larger toroidal forces shape the larger cosmological features of our universe.

Humans are comprised of both lower, physical UCs, and an individualized Self UC. Our material/spiritual perception crossover appears to happen at the 4th chakra, or the consciousness of love. It is there that phase alignment with God may occur and the immaterial nature of the Self discovered.
 
 The human bio-energetic aura can be described as a series of nesting toroids. These will be further explained in a future article. In the aura drawing above, the white 7th chakra maps to the peach-colored shell of the drawing below.


Here is a human Unit of Consciousness with its associated material instantiation.

When this person's UC is in phase with the Universal UC, then this person's toroid "grows" into phase with the Universal UC and is no longer a human-sized toroid but as "big" as the universe.

The Undifferentiated Unity

My friend in Montana, Jenny, sent some good observations and questions via email. Let’s address them here, together.

First, she says, “Thought, as our species experiences it, appears to be a function of individuality and if it is thoroughly reflected upon appears more as a review than the extension of the unfamiliar.” She writes of metaphysical writings that propose we do not really “think;” that thinking’s true nature is creativity rather than invention. I like the sound of this, although I am unfamiliar with the writings referred to, and I need clarification of the difference between creativity and invention… She also writes that “decision making has become a substitute for choice.” Since decision making is the primary function of units of consciousness, I wonder at the difference between decision making and choice… Jenny? Will you reply in “Comments” with clarifications?

She quotes someone as saying that “consciousness is another way of saying split mind.” I would agree with that. Being conscious implies a perceiver and something to perceive. This is the first division, the first duality: self and object. Ch. 1 of the “Simple Explanation” steps through the genesis of this first dialectic. Jenny suggests that the term “undifferentiated unity” would be a good way to describe what I call the pure consciousness of the metaverse, without pattern or form. Yes, undifferentiated unity is an accurate term to describe the ground state of the metaverse, the condition of no divisions, no dualities, no particularities, only undifferentiated unity. This would also be the state achieved during transcendent meditation when one merges back into thoughtless bliss.

Jenny also recommends reading David Bohm’s “Wholeness and the Implicate Order,” for Bohm’s notions of the relationship between order and consciousness.

Jenny had not encountered the toroid prior to reading the “Simple Explanation” blog. Now she is looking for them in nature. She writes, “I suspect this structure is represented in some form, somewhere (other than the doughnut). If it is, as the narrator indicated on the science channel, a form that exists at every point in space then surely it is mirrored somewhere in our visible world.” Jenny started looking for toroids and discovered that healthy red blood cells--the oxygen transport system of the body—are toroids!


For sure, I hadn’t thought of that. What I can tell you is that the toroidal shape is everywhere once you start looking, from the tiniest objects in our universe—quantum probability clouds—

to huge, overarching shapes that have been shown to enfold our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy.




Van Allen Belt surrounds earth







Kuiper Belt surrounds our solar system









Oort Cloud surrounds our solar system




The Simple Explanation proposes that the great mother of all toroids enfolds our entire physical universe, holding its divisions and particularities away from the “undifferentiated unity” of the background metaverse and at the same time sending organizational and informational toroidal waves inward.
Lastly, Jenny has asked me to clarify “metaverse.” The metaverse, as I use it, is “one step back” from our universe. To observe something’s meta level requires the observer to “step back” or “step up” one level to the place where unity dissolves apparent division. For example, if a couple were disagreeing over where to go for dinner, rather than fight over the merits of Mexican vs. Chinese food, the couple could step up to the meta level and examine whether this was really just a power struggle or test of who loves who more. By taking it up to the meta level, the dialectic of this food vs. that food becomes irrelevant. So it is with the metaverse. I wanted to step back from our universe to the meta level of creation in order to resolve our apparent divisions. The meta-universe or metaverse resolves our apparent divisions by unifying them at the higher level. As to the descriptions given of the metaversal matrix and the subsequent unfolding of our universe, these were inferred through intuition and logic. In my chalk drawings, the metaverse is located "outside" the universal toroidal shell.

The Problem with Religion

The problem with religion is that too often, ritualized memes have replaced personal communion with the Holy Spirit. Religious doctrine or dogma falls into the category of meme chords. Yet memes obscure access to one's spiritualized Self or governing unit of consciousness. Since it is the Self UC that seeks union with God (the universal UC), beclouding the Self UC with meme chords is the last thing the seeker wants.
Merely surrounding oneself with religious meme chords and performing works out of duty to the meme chords does not grant access to God.
Here's how the Bible puts it in Matthew 7:
21 Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
What does it mean, to "work iniquity"? It means putting your mud's desires ahead of God's will (or the metaversal plan). When a UC puts its own well-meaning-but-limited plan into action, a karmic debt is created. Seekers after God desire absolution from sin/karma/iniquity. Building even more karmic debt out of personal effort is the last thing the seeker wants.
Here's how the Tao Te Ching puts it in Verse 18:
    When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.
    When goodness is lost, there is morality.
    When morality is lost, there is ritual.
    Ritual is the husk of true faith,
    the beginning of chaos.
The Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is an ancient Chinese collection of 81 wisdom verses. In “The Simple Explanation” model, the Tao spoken of by Lao Tzu refers to the metaversal information and principles of organization that have informed our universe since the moment before creation. 
This verse describes ritual's fall from grace. 
The highest state is to be at one with God and God's plan, called herein the Tao. 
When one loses touch with the universal UC, one loses the Tao's information pipeline. But, says Verse 18, even if your UC has lost its way, you still know goodness when you see it, and your heart may still be in the right place.
But, once your heart loses its way, you no longer have true goodness. Morality is what you are left with once love departs. Morality is a system of rules meant to engender Godly behavior in those who no longer know God.
Once morality is lost, empty ritual takes its place. Ritualistic behavior no longer serves to bring one closer to God. At this stage, the Way to God has become replaced by meaningless gestures.
"Ritual is the husk of true faith." Lifeless, dried-up memes have replaced morality, goodness, love, and access to God. Verse 18 declares this state to be chaos, anarchy, entropic, because when the Word of God cannot pass its organizing principles through your UC, the opportunity is lost to accomplish whatever part your UC was to play in making things better. This is the last thing the seeker wants.

A Simple Explanation of Meditation

Scientific research has proven that the brains of regular meditators function differently than those of non-meditators. For one thing, more information travels through the meditator's corpus callosum, uniting left and right hemispheres.
For another thing, meditators recover more quickly from emotional upsets and startle reactions.
For more information on this topic, you can watch 17 minutes of a good documentary provided through Canadian Television:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3LtQH4Etjo

What is it about meditation that causes these effects?
The general process of meditation involves sitting quietly and stilling the mind through concentration. Various schools of meditation encourage concentration through a variety of techniques--attention to breathing, uttering a repeated mantra such as "Lord" or the word "om," focusing on the "third eye" between the eyebrows, or upon love and heartfelt connection beyond oneself. Any method that quiets the mind's chatter will do. Interior silence must be achieved. The goal is relaxation, a sense of perfect peace, a feeling of bliss, or union with God. 
Quieting the mind's chatter during meditation achieves two things.  First, it allows you to temporarily lay aside your meme bundle and briefly unite with your governing Unit of Consciousness Self; secondly, interior stillness provides the empty space needed to go beyond the boundary of your personal Unit of Consciousness (UC) to perceive the reassuring sheltering presence of the universal unit of consciousness. Spiritually oriented meditation techniques refer to this transcendence of personal identity as recognizing the essential Oneness of All, or as approaching the Throne of God. 
Here's what I think happens to the nesting toroids during meditation:

This first drawing represents our nested universal space. (Please click here to review this concept if you need to.
The red center represents the material universe; the white arrows represent proto-energy radiating into our universe; the beige is our governing UC; the yellow is the universal unit of consciousness, known as God.

During ordinary consciousness, our Self is engaged in the material-based world. According to Yoga philosophy and energy healers, an observable red current of life-giving energy (prana) runs upward from the base of the spine. Since our toroidal model indicates that matter and energy are generated from the center zero-point of the conscious universal field, our human bodies must occupy our personal UCs thusly:
This illustration represents the human chakra field drawing universal proto-energy (ananda) through chakra one at the base of the spine.
During ordinary, matter-bound consciousness, human awareness is  entirely trapped within the mind's perceptions of the material universe. These matter-bound perceptions include both processed sensory stimuli(touch, taste, hearing, smell, sight) and thought ideations in the form of meme chords and karma. In this state, the Self's governing UC can only occasionally influence the "mud-up" mind.  You could say that in the ordinary state, the matter-bound mortal is "out of phase" with his or her Self UC.

During meditation, the source from which the body draws energy shifts from chakra one at the base of the spine to chakra four--the heart. Yoga philosophy characterizes the heart as the door between the material and spiritual. When the mind is perfectly still, the heart swells with love and with joy. We propose that during meditation, the human goes "in phase" with pure consciousness, uninfluenced by perceptions of and opinions about the material world. This phase shift brings the mud-up mind into full contact with not only its own  governing UC but, with practice and patience, the individualized UC resonates entirely in phase with the universal UC.
At that stage of advanced meditation, when one's personal identity unit of consciousness becomes one with the universal unit of consciousness, the seventh chakra at the crown of the skull channels unimpeded information and coherence directly through the "top" or aligned metaversal funnel. At the same time, the personal toroidal space is entirely in phase with the universal UC and "pressed" directly against the coherence boundary, stimulating an unparalleled sense of love ("Divine Love"). Also, universal proto-energy pours through the "spiritualized heart" at the core of the meditator, bringing an unrivaled sense of bliss to the meditator.

One technique meditators employ to achieve this advanced state of love, bliss, and awareness is to balance their ascending (chakra one) prana with their descending (chakra seven) spiritual energy (mud up, spirit down) so that they meet at the (chakra four) heart center. Perhaps this model's simple explanation may help with that endeavor.

Nesting Toroidal Space--Part 2

Our universe appears to be "nested" in a variety of ways. In one direction, the nesting is from large to little, with shared middles. In the other direction, the nesting is fractal, with multiple middles.
First, if we begin with the top-down description of our universe, a God-sized toroidal consciousness is wrapped around our physical universe (or, if you prefer, you could call it a "Universal-sized" toroidal consciousness). The vibrational emanations of this universal UC compress and contain our space-time continuum from the outside, sending waves of toroid-shape inward from the inner shell, while at the same time emitting material-building subatomic toroidal shapes from the zero-point field at the middle of the universal UC.
Universal Consciousness, The Word, coherence
"Sons of God" secondary units of consciousness
Chitta, heart, spiritualized atomic structure
Ananda, joy, spiritualized radiating energy
The yellow layer represents the universal unit of consciousness--"God's mind"--which consists of ideas only, including every mathematical, spiritual, and physical pattern and law of our universe. The tan layer inside of that represents the secondary units of consciousness, with their insides facing our material universe and their backsides against the universal UC. At the non-material, ideational level, all UCs occupy the same "no-space." The red center represents the ideational sub-atomic particle, referred to in Yogic philosophy as Chitta, or the "spiritualized atom." The white rays going outward from the middle is the proto-energy of our universe, called in Yoga "Ananda" or "Joy." 
Nesting looks different going in the other direction, beginning with matter rather than consciousness. From the material direction, there is a unit of consciousness associated with every thing, from the smallest sub-atomic quanta, to the largest organic system. These UCs represent themselves in our physical universe as the matter with which we are all familiar. As mentioned in a previous article, scientists have recently discovered a torus shape enveloping our Milky Way galaxy. We predict there will be a torus shape discovered in association with all creation, possibly in the form of "dark matter" halos in supersymmetry with the objects of our material universe. We also predict "dark energy" will be directly associated with universal ananda proto-energy.

Nesting Toroidal Space--Part 1

Continuing with the toroidal model, (see Drawings of Toroidal Forces and Images of Toroids first), we are suggesting that the basic physical shape of our universe and everything in it is a toroid. This shape can be inferred at the cosmic scale by the measurable forces at play in our universe. One example of this is the toroidal shape that has recently been inferred as enveloping our Milky Way galaxy (see Scientists Find Torus of Dark Matter Surrounding Our Galaxy) and is believed to envelope each galaxy in the heavens, exerting a containing force that gives galaxies their dynamic shape and forces.

This toroid can also be inferred as the underlying shape of quantum probability clouds. Probability clouds have replaced the old school model, e.g. nuclei and orbiting electrons. Lately, physicists have realized that there are no little "planets" and "suns," just a shimmering shmear of a shape where particles might be found if they stopped moving. In quantum physics this shmear is called a probability cloud.

Chapter 1 of the Simple Explanation suggests that this toroidal shape is the necessary shape of our universe. This originating toroid, which may be called God or not, as you wish, separates our finite space-time continuum from the formless, timeless void of the conscious metaverse "outside" the toroidal shell.  Outside the universal toroid is nothingness; inside it is our universe. The shell of this universal toroid is pure consciousness that generates all of the physical, mathematical, and spiritual systems and laws that apply to our universe.
 
The center zero-point of this universal toroid/unit of consciousness produces an outward-moving vibration that enters our universe as an outwardly explosive energy source. This energy source generated countless echoes of itself in the form of toroidal fractals streaming out from the singularity at the center.
These toroidal echoes are each a unit of consciousness identical to the originating UC. Unlike the originating UC, whose "backside" or "outside" is the infinite metaverse, the secondary UCs are contained within the boundary shell of the originating UC ("God's Mind").
 
You might say that God "turned inward" to wall off a limited space that is our universe. These secondary UCs, "Sons of God," each represent a particular point-of-view due to their localization in time and space.  The primary job of UCs is to make decisions on behalf of the material body they govern. Every piece of matter in our universe, from the tiniest sub-atomic particle to the largest living organism and planetary system, is associated with its own unit of consciousness.  Click here to read more about these UCs.

Drawings of Toroidal Forces--Universal Forces

Prior to reading this post, please read the "Start Here" articles on the right of this page in order to familiarize yourself with the Simple Explanation model and terminology.


This post is a follow-up to drawings posted 1-29-10 called Images of Toroids, Images of UCs. To begin there, click here.


Coherence/Love balanced by Energy/Joy
This simple chalk drawing represents a cutaway view of the toroidal sphere from the top. Imagine the yellow ring to be a yellow-white sphere like a balloon enveloping a blue space with a white zero-point energy emitter at its center. The yellow arrows represent the containing force generated by the universal unit of consciousness, which serves to separate this energetic and material universe from the undifferentiated background consciousness of the metaverse. The white arrows at the middle represent the explosive energy streaming out of the zero point field at the "center" of our universe. The blue area represents the manifested space cordoned off by the toroidal shell of the originating unit of consciousness, within which exists our particular space-time continuum.

Coherence/Love, Energy/Joy, and Toroidal Flow

This chalk drawing shows the same inward/outward balance demonstrated in the first top cutaway view, but from the toroid's side. A third force is added, that of the looping around travel on the skin of the torus. The white arrows come down through top of the funnel, through the zero point field at the middle, and then out the bottom funnel and around the outside. Try to imagine these as dynamic energy forces acting through the toroidal shape--in, out, looping around through the middle.


Hemispheric Motion
These two cutaway views of the torus shows another type of directional force--hemispheric, around the circumference of the sphere.  Try to visualize all of these energetic patterns in motion.


The Pole
Another force implied by the shape of the toroid is the single straight line that runs straight up and down through the middle zero point of the toroid. This line is not within the toroid, as it runs perfectly perpendicular to the hemispheric circle and so does not touch the skin of the toroid. 


If you can visualize the toroid as balloon whose middle has been pushed together by two fingers of your opposite hands until the two sides of the balloon touch at the middle between your fingertips, then this line is the line formed by your two fingers pointing at each other. Your fingers are still outside the balloon, even though they are now touching. 
In this apple, the pole is the stem, running down through the middle seeds and out the other end.  In our universal toroid, the middle is a perfectly centered zero point field.

******************************************************
 
I recently realized I had left two more toroidal motions out of the illustrations above, those of the  spiral and sectional rings.

 The Spiral

Flowing inward from the rim of the funnel, then spiraling into ever smaller arcs as the funnel narrows.
In the illustration above, metaversal information (depicted as green spiral) swirls toward the zero-point field of instantiation (white starburst).

Entering our Universe and emanating outward from the middle, this proto-force appears in several forms--as the the centrifugal forces of outwardly radiating spirals, the centripetal vortex of whirlpools and tornados, and the entwined embrace of helices such as DNA and vines.



Cross-Sectional Rings
Another toroidal force is that of the rings that individually encircle the torus "tube." As in the illustration below, these rings are furthest from each other at the hemisphere and funnel toward one another to pass through the same point or zero-point at the middle.
