Is our Universal UC a gigantic autophagosome?

The cover of the March 26, 2011 edition of ScienceNews illustrates an autophagosome forming around some cellular debris. The second I laid eyes upon the cover, I was happy to see that this is very close to the mechanism I have been describing for the formation of our Universal Unit of Consciousness. Let's see how this might be a useful metaphor.

From the Wikipedia article, Autophagy,

A variety of autophagic processes exist, all having in common the degradation of intracellular components via the lysosome. The most well-known mechanism of autophagy involves the formation of a membrane around a targeted region of the cell, separating the contents from the rest of the cytoplasm. The resultant vesicle then fuses with a lysosome and subsequently degrades the contents.

According to the Science News article, Dining In, "In the first recognizable step of the process, a small, curved, double-membraned structure appears around the parts of the cell that are on the menu. That little bit of membrane grows to encase whatever the cell plans to swallow" (p.18).

Here's what the Simple Explanation says:

On this day that time began, consciousness wrapped itself around the expanding space of our universe, forming a border between us and infinity.

and again:

I'm suggesting that singular thought of limitless potential became a type of conceptual debris that needed sealing off from the undifferentiated metaverse. The torus shape suspends the singularity in the center zero-point field of our universe. Within our universe, time and space, matter and locality are held from the metaverse by this fractal membrane, the Universal UC.

Here's how I picture the process: imagine unfurling a large sheet, shaking it out above you, netting a big pouch of air, and quickly gathering up the corners in the middle. Voila--the Universal Unit of Consciousness, the prototypical toroidal shape, the essential fractal formula of creation.

The pouch of air inside the gathered sheet is our material universe, the sheet itself is the Universal UC, the fist holding the sheet corners at the middle is the ananda/joy/here/now point at the center of our universe, and the totality of the torus is the autophagosome container.

So, continuing with this metaphor, the debris that is this manifested universe will someday be simplified back to the building blocks of original consciousness and reabsorbed back into the undifferentiated metaverse.

Changing gears, look at this beautiful illustration of little red autophagosomes lining up along the vortex of the toroidal shape that is cell mytosis. Isn't it gorgeous?

The Fractal Roots of Consciousness



As explained in the articles, "My Self, the Governor of Whoville" and "A Simple Fractal Model of the Conscious Universe," my Self's Unit of Consciousness (UC) is sitting atop a veritable fractal galaxy of hierarchically arranged Units of Consciousness, all working together to instantiate my body. While I may believe I am the only conscious soul inhabiting this body of mine, my physical body is actually home to all of these aggregated UCs, each with their own job to perform, each living their own lives and laying down their own karmic record. Within the confines of my skin, countless UCs of varying levels of complexity work together to keep my body alive and fully functional. At each descending level of complexity, from my governing Self UC down through the organ systems, organs, cells, molecules, atoms, and quanta, my body's UCs deal with increasingly simpler tasks even as the matter associated with them becomes smaller and more numerous. The simplest and most numerous level of materially instantiated consciousness is associated with the quantum foam that forms at the finest fractal edge between matter and energy.

As the roots of a plant send out finer and finer tendrils at each level of fractal branching, our hierarchically arranged aggregate UCs nest closer and closer to the Original Source Code--the Universal UC--at their simplest and most numerous levels. Whereas the concerns of the world often obscure my Self UC, the UC of a single sub-atomic particle or wave (anu), having a fairly limited view of creation and few choices regarding activity, is the least distracted by Ego and most attuned with its originating Source. At the deepest physical level of instantiation, the countless quanta that form the building blocks of our bodies are associated with countless undeluded UCs, all tapping their roots directly into the organizational source of our Universe ("Universal UC," "God," "Sat," "Original Source Code").

As I visualize the roots of Whoville, I visualize roots penetrating from my skin inward, finer and finer, to the depths of my material being. Within my body, all of my aggregated UCs drill fractally "backward" toward the zero-point field at our shared core. Whereas my Self UC may appear a long way off from God, especially if I conceive of God outside the Very Large, if I instead turn inward and "fall back," I am as near to God as the center point of Whoville's UCs. This is a new way to interpret the practices of "centering" and "grounding." When ancient teachings speak of God residing in the hearts of man, this Simple Explanation suggests the heart may be interpreted as the shared zero-point field at the shared center of our fractal Units of Consciousness.

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 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.

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.
