IntroductionIn the course of reason it is only logical that one may feel
the inevitable inclination to address the question of self. To turn
the very ability of questioning upon itself on an inward
inquisition to understand the very nature of the questioner.
This desire for a deeper understanding of self grows
from the earliest stages of life, like a small seed planted deeply in
the fertile soil of the subconscious mind. The question of life's
nature will eventually sprout and push it's way to the forefront of
man's thinking and wakeful state of awareness. Every man will
inevitably confront the question of his existence. The seeds of
inquisition are usually harvested and fully brought forth within
the mind's awareness at the first initial exposure to the concept of
death, as this is usually the first time the observer feels their own
perceived mortality. Confronted with the reality that the
phenomenon of physical death is an inescapable parameter ofany physical manifestation, this inquisitive thinker feels the need
to understand the greater mysteries of life and that of life's very
nature. At this junction of the mind's journey, the new seeker of
truth must ask himself the next inevitable line of questions,
What am I? Do I exist beyond the body? Who is the thinker
that asks these very questions? Simply put, what is life? Is this

inquiry not the most important question in life? The Philosopher
Ramana Maharshi once said that, The inquiry "Who am I?" is theprincipal means to the removal of all misery and the attainment
of the supreme bliss.
The question of life's very nature has been endlessly
pondered throughout the ages and across the world. A complex
question, yet an
understanding can be
attained when one has
familiarized themselves
with the basicfoundational tenants of the
ancient Egyptian Mystery
Schools and its later off
shoots which carried on the core principles and wisdom of the
ancient teachings. The term mystery schools does not refer to a
particular time or place in history, but speaks of the timeless
teachings of universal wisdom Egypt freely dispensed to the
world. These teachings have accompanied the growth of
civilization since the earliest times of ancient Egypt. The most
famous Egyptian influenced cultures is undoubtedly that of the
ancient Greeks, and thier retelling of the Egyptian mystery

schools found in the Hermetic Philosophical understandings and
teachings.
As Alexander the Great expanded the Greek empire across
the world, the esoteric teachings went on to further influentially
penetrate the cultures and
psyche of the world. Thus,
the essence and core of these
ancient-esoteric teachings
can be found worldwide, as
many other cultures
embraced and adopted these
same universal principlesand understandings. The winds have spread the pollen of truth
far and wide, and as a result many flowers have taken root and
grown in many exotic locations .
The essence and core of the Egyptian/Hermetic teachings
eventually went on to influence more semi modern schools of
thought, like that of Wicca and Alchemy. Both of which when
seen and understood for what they truly are can be viewed as
advanced spiritual disciplines, like that of the mystery schools
themselves, as the mystery school teachings have remained the
timeless spine and foundation in the seekers pursuit ofunderstanding 'self', these teachings have consistently assisted

man in the pursuit of the ultimate truth, even into the modern
times we find ourselves in now.
However, there are inevitably cultures that due to
geographic isolation and other variables, have had little to no
direct exposure to the ancient mystery school teachings. Groups
like that of the Native Americans, the Australian Aborigines and
many more. But be this as it may, and seemingly in spite of this
separation, it should be of great interest to the reader to know
and understand that all the independent conclusions arrived at
from entirely different means and circumstances have an
underlying central agreement and logic. For example, all
religions share a concept of a God. Common understandings andwisdom can be found in each lands independent interpretation
when the proper perspective in identifying and discerning these
central underlying themes and concepts has been achieved. There
is a consistent and commonly shared understanding at the core of
all religions, and it is by no means a mere coincidence. As we will
later discuss and show that there are no coincidences, only law
unseen. Just as your reading of this text is of no coincidence.
When this understanding and perspective has been achieved one
can easily see that all the worlds independent accounts of truth
are ultimately the many independent observations and accounts
of one underlying phenomenon or common force. There is a

famous Zen story deserving contemplation at this point that
speaks to this truth.
The Blind Men and the Elephant-Several citizens ran into a hot argument about God and
different religions, and each one could not agree to a common
answer. So they
came to the
Buddha to find out
what exactly God
looks like. The
Buddha asked hisdisciples to get a
large magnificent
elephant and four
blind men. He
then brought the four blind to the elephant and told them to find
out what the elephant would "look" like. The first blind men
touched the elephants leg and reported that it "looked" like a
pillar. The second blind man touched the elephants stomach and
said that the elephant was a wall. The third blind man touched
the elephant's ear and said that it was a piece of cloth. The fourth
blind man held on to its tail and described the elephant as a pieceof rope. And all of them ran into a hot argument about the
8

8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
9/104
"appearance" of an elephant. The Buddha asked the citizens:
"Each blind man had touched the elephant but each of them givesa different description of the animal. Which answer is right?"
The wise would always mind this story's lessons when
viewing the worlds many separate accounts of any common issue
or discussion.
This book is an attempt to address and educate the reader
regarding these ancient and universal concepts and
understandings of life, by using a familiar and modern approach.
This will be attempted by using the inquisitive technique and
method of asking Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. Theaim being to approach each question from a multifaceted
spiritual, scientific, and philosophical stand point. By applying
this basic investigative line of questioning to that of the
phenomenon of life itself and that of its very nature, volumes may
be extracted and learned from the contemplation and
examination of these questions and concepts. The wise reader
should attempt now and forever to read in between the lines.
There is more to life than most have ever contemplated.
The aim of this book is not to be long, but to be concise,
direct, and straight to the point, to be of real use to the reader.

Who, or What has Life?Before a deeper level of philosophical and spiritual
teachings may be imparted to the reader in regards to that of
life's very nature, a solid foundation and overview of scientific
truth should be presented. The comprehension of these known
and relatively unknown and obscure sciences serve to accompanythe learning and inquisitive mind on its journey to understanding
self. Thus, allowing an appreciation and comprehension for
deeper teachings yet to be chronologically presented in the book.
Scientifically speaking, life itself at an initial inquisitive
glance and contemplation involves the phenomenons of
perception and analysis. This can be proven immediately by
simply drawing our attention to the fact that we are observing
right now, right here, in this very moment. Perhaps best
expressed in Rene Descartes's famous words, I think therefore Iam.
That thinking entity (which is the very subject of our
ongoing discussion) has been called many things through out the
ages, the most popular terms being that of, consciousness,
spirit, ether, or mind (it is crucial however to point out that
the term 'mind' should not be confused with the physical brain.
12

As we will conclusively show later in the book that the mind is
not in the body, the body is in the mind.).
Undoubtedly this force of life has numerous names,
however, what ever one wishs to call this force of awareness
ultimately matters little to its function, what it is, what it does, or
even the reality of its existence. The tongues of men do not define
the immaterial, only attempt to describe it.
In building this solid foundation of understanding, we
must examine and discuss what the term life has been
exclusively and narrowly applied towards, and confront the
honest question, Is the current mainstream meaning andunderstanding in regards to the phenomenon of life and what
possesses 'life' an accurate notion and understanding? Or, should
the current mainstream view of what is actually alive and has
life be greatly broadened and expanded upon? As vigorously
suggested by the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Hindus, Buddhist,
Druids, Wiccans, Native Americans and countless other creeds
and independent sages throughout the ages.

Animal IntelligencePast and present mainstream notions hold life to be a
phenomenon found exclusively in that of human beings, and not
animals. But what exactly are the criteria for the title of life? Of
which many men through out history have exclusively bestowed
upon themselves? The problem with this outdated view and
understanding of life is the fact that many of the qualities that
could be identified and pointed out in humans, (in an attempted
foundation towards a case of human superiority over animals),
there is inevitably an animal somewhere in the world that can
not only easily perform the same task man would proudly boast,
but can in fact greatly out perform their human counterparts.
This truth of simple scientific observation would appear toimmediately 'blur the lines' of what is alive scientifically speaking

and what is not, much to the dismay of older dogmas and their
rigid enforcers.
There are literally thousands of fascinating experiments
and research programs taking place worldwide which
independently and collectively demonstrate extraordinarylevels
of intelligence. Intelligence found in abundance throughout the
animal kingdom. The most common phrases from observing
scientist and researchers being that of surprised and amazed.
A remarkable and important example with tremendous
underlying implications, is the fact that Gorillas and other Apes
posses the inherent intelligence and capacity to learn complexlanguages like that of sign language, gaining the verbal skills and
ability to express their
needs and feelings via
sign language. Thus
effectively bridging the
communication gap
between Gorillas and
humans by
communicating with
their sign speaking caretakers. Sign speaking gorillas allow
scientist to gain an amazing window into the complex social

world of Gorillas. One of the most famous cases is the story of
Koko the Gorilla.
Koko is a Western Lowland Gorilla who, according to her
lifelong caretaker Francine 'Penny' Patterson, is able to
understand more than 1,000 signs based on American Sign
Language, and understand approximately 2,000 words of spoken
English. This significant vocabulary and level of intelligence is
equal to that of a human five year old. One of the more
fascinating things that have come to the attention of researchers
is how emotionally aware Koko and other animals like her are. It
is truly astounding how much of a sense of self these animals
carry. They use words of expression like happy, sad, lonely, boredand so fourth.
Another compelling phenomenon having to do with
animal intelligence, life, and the inherent abilities and potentials
life carries, is the ongoing
research into the
reoccurring historical
phenomenon of animals
leaving in a mass exodus
prior to natural disasters.
The most compellingevidence for this
16
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
17/104
phenomenon outside of the endless historical accounts and
witnessing of the phenomenon is that of the recent 2004 IndianOcean earthquake and tsunami which claimed thousands of
human lives. Yet mysteriously every animal which was not
trapped indoors and had freedom of movement escaped safely
and unharmed well in advance. The implications of such a
documented phenomenon warrant a much more in depthscientific investigation. However, recently the subject was
thoroughly discussed and outlined in the PBS documentary Can
Animals Predict Disaster which has brought some degree of
mainstream awareness in regards to this phenomenon.
Investigating scientist wish to obtain a greaterunderstanding as to what methods are being implored by animals
in the detection of these disasters, and furthermore what exactly
the force may be that they are tapping into to gain this
awareness. This research can ultimately answer many questions
and shed light on to deeper philosophical questions such as, do
humans posses these abilities? And if so, have humans silenced
and suppressed these abilities? Is mankind ignoring this dormant
and latent sense?

The Pineal Gland in all vertebratesMany scientist have correctly suspected the pineal gland as
a critical component in the animal pre-disaster detection
phenomenon. The pineal gland is found in the brains of all
vertebrates, including that of human beings. It is beyond
coincidence and interest that this pineal gland houses smallpieces of the worlds most magnetic element magnetite. The
magnetite is contained in a pea size gland positioned in the very
center of the brain. Additionally the pineal gland is filled with
water and cellular rods and cones. These 'rods' and 'cones' are
just like that found within the human eye. It should be noted that
'rods' and 'cones' are used as interpreters and transmitters ofexternal information to the brain. It is again interesting that the
18
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
19/104
ancients spoke clearly of this phenomenon in their understanding
of the third eye. Once the biology of the pineal gland's innerworkings are fully appreciated, volumes should be conveyed to
the reader in regards to the depths of the ancients understanding
of the use and purpose of this organ. The third eye was viewed
as the window or portal to
the universe.
It should also be pointed
out to the reader that the right
and left ventricle chambers of
the brain are both three-
dimensional representations ofthe famous right eye of Ra and
left eye of Thoth found all over
Egyptian hieroglyphics and
19

20/104
temples, (Some of the most prominent symbols associated with
the mystery schools.)
The science of previously discussed animal natural
disaster prediction seems to be pointing to the pineal gland as
playing a significant role in any animals ability to predict
impending natural disasters. The most common theory of scientist
being that the pineal gland is some how picking up signals from
some sort of unknown or unrecognized electromagnetic
phenomenon occurring prior to the occurrence of natural
disasters.
The many experiments diving into the endless realms ofanimal intelligence and the astonishing abilities of animals that
rival mans own abilities could be discussed for hours on end. This
line of research and the many realizations it brings forward
should ultimately supply mankinds mainstream held paradigms
in regards to humans being the only creatures that posses life and
intelligence with a very humbling realization regarding mans
place amongst the animal kingdom. For man is the rational
animal. Mankind should realize and ultimately respect the
kingdom they are a part of, and in no way separate from. It
would appear that man cuts his hair, shaves his mane, and trims
his claws to hide from the truth that has been staring him in themirror.

Talking Plants, Primary PerceptionFurthermore, the deeper science investigates into the
question of what exactly has the phenomenon of life, plants
have emerged to exhibit the behaviors and characteristics that fit
the criteria for the title of being alive. As the research of Dr.
Cleave Backster and his work with Primary Perception, andcountless former Soviet Union Scientists have so clearly and
definitively proven.
Backster began his
career as an Interrogation
Specialist with the C.I.A.,
and went on to become
Chairman of the Research
and Instrument Committee
of the Academy for
Scientific Interrogation. Heis currently director of the
Backster School of Lie
Detection in San Diego,
California.
Amazingly and to
initial scientific shock and astonishment, Backster had discovered
21
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
22/104
that plants and trees have the inherent ability to 'sense' and 'react'
to the thoughts and moods of humans. All this being verifiable byscientifically testable methods. These plants displayed signs of
'stress' when either themselves, separate plants, or animals were
harmed.
This had all been initially discovered February 2, 1966,
via a polygraph readout coming from two negative and positive
electrodes that had been applied on both sides of a leaf via a small
vice (clamp).
When the
polygraph machine
was then turnedon, the plant gave a
surprising read out
that appeared to in
no way differ from
the readout the
polygraph machine
would display when the electrodes were attached to a human
subject. Then, when researchers were trying to think of what
would be a stressful 'threat' to the lively hood of a plant they were
amazed at what the plant did in response to this line of thinking.
Cleave Backster went on to state that at precisely the exact
moment he had envisioned the image of fire, and using that fire
22
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
23/104
to burn the plant, the polygraph readout began to swing fast and
far. This was amazing, for if this machine had been hooked up toa human subject those readout patterns would have been signs of
'deception' or 'lying, as a measurable nervousness or stress was
being expressed by the subject. Clearly in a plant this is not a sign
of deception, but it is a sign of 'nervousness' and 'stress', which
should be pointed out are words to describe reactions emanatingfrom a conscious entity. The experiment also seems to suggest
some unseen 'linking' and underlying connection between the
human mind and plants, and ultimately demonstrates that plants
posses the inherent ability to connect and extract information
from that inter-networking.
Further investigation went on to show conclusively that
plants remembered individuals who had 'harmed' them, or even
if the individual had harmed separate plants or animals. In the
first step of the experiment demonstrating this, an individual
would 'harm' the subject plant by tearing leaves off the plant and
then leave and allow the plant to fully 'calm' down and return to
a 'relaxed' state. At a later random time the assailant would then
again return to the subject plant, but this time he would not harm
the plant. However, just the returning presence of the assailant
would cause the subject plant and the other independently setup
plants in the room to all collectively display signs of 'stress'. This
all occurring at the precise moment of the returning individuals
23
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
24/104
presence. Plants that were never directly harmed by the
individual still reacted with the same fear as the plant that hadinitially been harmed. The fact that the individual 'subject' plant
remembered is almost as astonishing as the fact that the other
'unharmed' plants also remembered and feared the returning
assailant.
In another experiment, in a separate room from the
plants, small brine shrimp were dropped randomly by a
computer to their death into boiling water. In a separate part of
the building, the plants attached to a polygraph machine would
register a disturbance at again the precise moment the
experiment had occurred and taken place. This was thoroughlyreplicated many times and proven to be a real phenomenon. The
indications are truly amazing.
A few brine shrimp die and a plant feels their death, I think its
the smallness of the event that makes it so significant. It means
that even on the lower levels of life there is a profound
consciousness or awareness that binds all things together.

"A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious,that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence,what makes it alive."
-Pablo Amaringo-Clearly there is much more to plants then meets the
limited eye. Nature and all the animals, trees, and plants within it
are alive in ways that modern science is only beginning to
understand. Yet many of the worlds ancient masters of many
creeds frequently spoke of and emphasized the interconnected
oneness of all life. That everything is connected to an underlying
common mind or source. The one source. "The ALL."
If we could
see the
miracle of a
single flower
clearly, ourwhole life
would
change.

The phenomenon of life does not stop there though. Later
in 1966 Cleave Backster took a further step and applied his samepolygraph testing method to milk and yogurt. Like the plant
setup, he had again used two electrodes and inserted them into
the yogurt and milk. Both milk and yogurt contain and consist of
basic forms of cellular and bacterial growths. In connecting the
electrodes to the milk, it was again documented and discoveredthat even micro bacteria have been scientifically validated to
exhibit all the criteria and reactions and read outs that are
indicators of life and intelligence amongst man and the animal
kingdom. One needs only the right 'instruments' to peer into this
amazing, unseen, and ever-present intelligence that is behind all
plants and basic bacterial growth.

The Life in WaterPlunging deeper down the rabbit hole to an even deeper
level in the observation of life and matter, we still witness
astonishing behaviors and displays of intelligence. There is
ongoing research into
the phenomenon ofwater electrons
exhibiting what looks
like that of the
definition of memory.
This based on the
findings of the
following experiment,
In the first part of thr
experiment water was
exposed to a substance such as sodium chloride (salt), which was
then later removed by being completely distilled and purified ofthe previously added salts. Once this had occurred and to
scientific surprise, the electrons (upon examination) still
exhibited behaviors indicative to the salts still being actively
present, despite the salts absence. Some scientist have called this
phenomenon 'memory'. It is fascinating to say at the least, andagain is another phenomenon that merits further research.

Water has also demonstrated other means of showing
signs of its own awareness. This was discovered by a Japaneseresearcher named Dr. Masaru Emoto. Emoto is a graduate of the
Yokohama Municipal University and the Open International
University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine.
Dr. Emoto has created a series of experiments that
have furnished proof that our thoughts and feelings affect
physical reality. In this case, proving that our thoughts have
measurable effects upon water (a physical reality). The water
"changes its expression" based on what emotion we are 'sending'
it. This experiment provides further proof of an unseenunderlying connection and inter networking of all life. It is yet
28
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
29/104
another case of an unexpected source (like that of plants) being
able to 'read' and 'interpret' human thoughts, then demonstrateenough intelligence to categorize them as either negative or
positive. These judgments become apparent by the waters varying
reactions to corresponding emotions.
Essentially, Dr. Emoto captured water's 'expressions.'
Using a very powerful microscope in a freezing room along with
high-speed photography, to photograph newly formed crystals of
frozen water samples. It was discovered that crystals formed in
frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated
thoughts are directed toward them. Water from clear springs or
water that has been exposed to positive, loving words or thoughtsshow, complex, and colorful snowflake like patterns. However,
polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms
incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors.
The majority of the human body is water, and this
phenomenon would seem to indicate and show how our thoughts
and emotional states have measurable physical effects on our
bodies.
It should be noted that the way the water crystallizes, or
more specifically what geometric forms it decides to take ormanifest, would appear to have a direct relation with a
29
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
30/104
phenomenon known as symatics. Symatics is a phenomenon in
which varying rates of vibrating frequencies, (or different tonesof sound) have
different and
consistent, observable
effects on water, corn
syrups, sands, andother materials.
Different sounds
consistently generate
increasingly more
complex geometric
patterns and configurations as the sound frequency or rate of
vibration is increased.
When the rate of vibration has been brought back down,
the various substances will return to the same patterns they had
previously ran through, only now in the reverse order. The same
frequency will always make the same picture. These two
separate phenomenons express the same geometry and there
seems to be an underlying relationship between symatics and Dr.
Emoto's water configurations. All this considered, water would
appear to be an extraordinarily complex life form.

The Measurement ProblemWater is not the only form of matter that shows
symptoms indicative of life. The Measurement problem, which
applies to all matter, is an
atomic behavior that has fueled
volumes of quantum research.The Measurement problem
being this, when ever an
observer tries to fixate on an
atom or electron, they cant. The
complication being that it does
not exist in one single location;
it 'flickers' in and out of observable space, appearing and
disappearing from various scattered locations. It appears to be in
multiple places simultaneous to our viewing experience of it.
This all suggests an existence not as a 'solid', but as an inter-
connected energetic state and expression.
This phenomenon has led to much research and headway
into the concepts of time and parallel universes (sometimes
called dimensions). The measurement problem is one of the
foundational concepts within String Theory, or The Grand
Unified Field Theory.

The Double Slit ExperimentOne of the quantum
worlds more amazing
experiments is that of the
double slit experiment. It was
discovered to initial scientificastonishment, that light
particles react in a
multidimensional repeating
waveform pattern when
passing though two separate
slits of a single wall.
For a mental creation and example, one must essentially
imagine two rooms with a middle connecting wall. In the first
part of the experiment only one slit would be placed in the
middle dividing wall, the slit being there so that light could beshone from one room to another. When this was all carried out in
the parameters set forth, there would be one solid individual ban
of light on the back wall of the empty room, entirely as expected.
However, the amazement begins when another slit is
added to the middle dividing wall, creating a wall that now has
two slits, with this new setup light is again shined from one room

to the next, this new setup does not create two bands of light but
multiple bands. Scientist initially did not understand why this
would result in multiple repeating bands of light exceeding the
expected two bands of light and covering the entirety of the back
wall like symmetrical spaced slit stripes of light and darkness.
This remarkable phenomenon continues to astonish quantum
physicist, as it had been previously believed that light photons
were more like individual pellets of matter and less energeticallyinterconnected in nature. However, the experiment showed a
woven interconnectedness between all photon particles. The
experiment seems to demonstrate and show that photons weren't
really individual particles, but waves of highly interconnected
energy that seems to know no separation.

The wonder didnt stop there. When intense observation
with high tech machinery and computers were used to peer intohow this unexplainable occurrence was being executed and
carried out, the light showed intelligence in its demonstrated
awareness of the observations occurring around it and its ability
to react and change its behavior almost playfully back to
scientists previous held notions of how light should be behaving.By some unknown means and reason it began exhibiting
behavior indicative of their previously held photon pellet theory
scientist had previously been unable to manifest in the
experiments. Creating now only two lines on the back wall.
The repeating waveform seen via the double slit
configuration was resumed once all intense observation

equipment had been removed or fully powered down. For some
unknown reason to science, light is not giving its inner mostsecrets away when it is aware of close observation. It was
intelligently aware its surroundings, reacting to intense
observation and viewing. It was aware and intelligently engaging
the scientist. How? Only life has awareness?

Life, the Universal ConstantAt this point one may be asking themselves, How are even
the most basic components for the construction of matter and
what we call the physical universe still exhibiting the criteria for
the classification of life and intelligence?
The answer demands a change in approach. Ultimately
science can only take us so far, answering only specifically and
rigidly formatted linear concepts and questions. Where science
can not venture to answer due to its inescapable Achilles heel of
always requiring physical proof, philosophy dares to attempt.
Philosophy is ultimately the contemplation of the 'unseen force
that animates and gives the seen life. In this book we are
seeking to understand the seeker. To approach this
understanding we must now at this point of our journey leave the
realms of science and venture onto the more esoteric and
philosophical path. We will show that science is ultimatelynothing but the observation of the laws found within a 'dream'.
Philosophy is the observation of the 'dreamer'.
To move forward on the path of understanding 'self', one
must clear their mind and relinquish all assumptions of what you
have previously assumed to be absolute truths. The following

Zen story should further illuminate the issue and potential
problem.
Empty Your Cup-
A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While
the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. Themaster poured the visitor's cup to the brim, and then kept
pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he
could no longer restrain himself. "It's full! No more will go in!"
the professor blurted. "You are like this cup," the master replied,
"How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup, Your
cup is already full."

At his point in the book it should now be overwhelmingly
apparent that life, and what ever life truly is, is clearly aphenomenon not
limited to that of
human beings. The
reality is that the
phenomenon of lifestretches the face of
the earth and the
entirety of the very
space that would
contain it.
Everything is alive.
The universe and
all the individual
components of matter that would compose it's totality are pulsing
with the force of life. If something can be perceived or is what
we call 'physical', there is life behind that perception. That life iscalled spirit.
Moving forward with this understanding and awareness
that 'everything' is filled with life, the next inevitable questions
that arise in the mind are. How is this amazing and ever present
phenomenon of life being created? How does life exist? What
exactly is this illusive state and phenomenon that pops its head

these questions, the following quote deserves contemplation atthis point

animals, and finally awakens in man."

The Seven Hermetic Principles
In the pursuit of understanding and creating a solid and
comprehensive understanding of the ancients view of the
universe and self, it is helpful to address an ancient set of sevenextremely important and timeless 'laws' or 'functions' of the
universe. Of which have been elegantly outlined in the Kybalion,
a famous hermetic text.
The following laws are universally present within our universe.
41
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
42/104
"The Lips of Wisdom are sealed except to
the ears of understanding."
-The Kybalion-
I. THE PRINCIPLE OF M ENTALISM.
"THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental."
This Principle embodies the truth that "All is Mind."
It explains that THE ALL (which is the Substantial Reality
underlying all the outward manifestations and appearances
which we know under the terms of "The Material Universe"; the
"Phenomena of Life"; "Matter"; "Energy"; and, in short, all that isapparent to our material senses) is SPIRIT...
II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
"As above, so below; as below so above."
42
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
43/104
This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a
Correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the variousplanes of Being and Life.
III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.
"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."
This Principle embodies the truth that "everything is in motion";
"everything vibrates"; "nothing is at rest"; facts which Modern
Science endorses, and which each new scientific discovery tends
to verify.
IV. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.
"Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair
of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical
in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet...
It explains that in everything there are two poles, or opposite
aspects, and that "opposites" are really only the two extremes of
the same thing, with many varying degrees between them.
V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM
43
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
44/104
Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all thingsrise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the
measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to
the left; rhythm compensates.
This Principle embodies the truth that in everything there ismanifested a measured motion, to and fro; a flow and inflow; a
swing backward and forward; a pendulum-like movement; a
tide-like ebb and flow; a high-tide and low-tide.
VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything
happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not
recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing
escapes the Law."
It explains that: "Everything Happens according to Law"; that
nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such thing as
Chance... only law unseen.
VII. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER.
44
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
45/104
"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and
Feminine Principles Gender; manifests on all planes."
This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER
manifested in everything the Masculine and Feminine
Principles ever at work. This is true not only of the Physical
Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes.

The Source of Spirit, The Truth of OnenessThus far in the book we have tried to thoroughly establish
that scientifically speaking everything that could be perceived as
physical, in the physical world, in fact has some underlying force
or phenomenon we are calling life.
The Ancients frequently spoke and drew attention to the
fact that everything in its primary form of existence is spirit. That
everything we have labeled 'physical' is truly but a 'shadow' or
'reflection' of a primary spiritual counterpart, spirit is the
underlying life force of any perceived external physical object.
'These reflections and perceptions of physical matter are in truth
a mental recreation that is viewed entirely within the confines of
spirits mind in a multi-sensory perception. The 'unawakened' and
'sleeping' mind in
its limited
understanding andawareness carries
out it's life from
the perspective
that the world is
an external and
separate place

unto him, but this is truly illusion, as discussed more thoroughly
later in the text.
Spirit is everywhere and everything. But where does the
phenomenon of spirit ultimately arise from? The ancients taught
that spirits are all internal, individuated, distinctions of one
supreme underlying intelligence, an intelligence that everything
is an intricate part of. This supreme collective intelligence ('The
ALL') has been called by the tongues of men many names,
including that of 'God'.
The understanding of spirit being an internal 'part' or
'piece' of God is present in religions world wide. However, it may
surprise some that these understandings also have roots and can
be found in both Judaism and the original Gnostic form and
understanding of Christianity. Both of which indicating that we
are all pieces of God. The many sons of the one God. The
Following is from the Old Testament Book of Psalms Chapter 82
verse 6.
6 I said, You are gods;you are all sons of the Most High.
In later centuries Jesus himself went on to quote this exact
verse while trying to explain and defend his statement of being a'Son of God'. He went on to point out how the Jewish Priests own
47
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
48/104
sacred texts reinforced his message and teachings. The teaching
and truth that all men are in fact the 'Sons of God'. Jesus was byno means the exclusive and only Son of God, and never made this
claim, as it would be in sharp contrast and contradiction to his
own teachings. Jesus's own words show and outline how he in
fact believed the exact opposite and taught that all men were the
Sons of the one God (or Father). The following passage is anaccount of how even in the last moments of Jesus's life he was
trying to clear the confusion around his statements and
teachings, confusions that still exist in modern times. The
Following Passage is from the Book of John, Chapter 10 verses
30-38.
30. I and the Father are one.
31. Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,
32. but Jesus said to them, I have shown you many good works
from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?
33. We are not stoning you for any good work, they replied,
but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.
34. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, I have
said you are all godsSons of the most High?
48
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
49/104
Another passage further indicating Jesus's belief that all
men were in fact Sons of God is found in the book of Thomasverse three.
(3) ..When you come to know yourselves, then you will
understand, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of
the living father.
These 'Sons of God' or internal spirits of The ALL in there
primary essence know the infinite oneness of the collective.
However, these individuation's carry out a secondary existence
based in the illusion of mental separation carried out within the
confines of their minds, as discussed at the beginning of thechapter. The universe is a complete mental and internal re-
creation of spirits imagination. Spirit is another individuated
perspective of God, which carries out its uniqueness in a mentally
replicated perception of the universe, or spiritual common
grounds.
"The Mind of the All is the Infinite womb of Universes."
-The Kybalion-We are all pieces of God living within his infinite
imagination. For it is truly a 'mental' universe in every sense of
the word.

Consider the following, in a dream one would be the
entirety of all experiences, sensations, imagery, and the source ofother characters created within the dream. We are everything
and everyone in our dreams. The primary dream (our reality) is
found in God's mind, as the universe's true underlying nature is
'mental'. This layered mind of God is highly organized in its
complexities and completely holographic in nature.
In God's dream, as we have discussed, we are all internal,
separate, unique, characters with a common source, or 'common
mind' that is the underlying true source and reality of the
characters. The All is the supreme dream maker. Understand, weare not the dream, we are pieces of the dreamer. Our very source
is the 'ONE' or 'The ALL'.
This concept has been addressed perfectly by the
following passage from the Greek Corpus Hermeticum.
TAT: Is God then in matter, 0 father?
HERMES: Where could matter be placed if it existed apart from
God [who is infinite]? Would it not be but a confused mass,
unless it were ordered? And if it is ordered, by whom is itordered? The energies which operate in it are parts of God.

Whether you speak of matter or bodies or substance, know that
all these are the energy of God, of the God who is all. In the Allthere is nothing which is not God. Adore this teaching, my child,
and hold it sacred... To understand is to believe, to not believe is
not to understand.
-The Corpus Hermeticum-We are all Sons of God, mighty spirits of divine heritage
currently living and working through a human experience.
It should be highly emphasized that like a dream,
everything that could be touched, tasted, smelled, heard, or seen
is a mental recreation of what the mind is being told is 'out there'
via the collective information the five senses relay. Therefore, in
truth nothing that can be 'seen' is 'external' at all, as everything
'external' is the minds complete re-creation.
Ultimately the truths of science indicate that you are not
inside your body you see before you now, your body in truth is
inside of you. Furthermore, you are not in the room before you,
rather the room is inside you. This all being in agreement with
the ancients concepts of the mind containing the body, and not
the body containing mind.

Realize that like the body, even the physical brain can
only be verified to exist via the limited five senses, which areagain illusion. This is a crucial detail as some believe that
consciousness is merely a byproduct of the brain. In truth
however the brain is a byproduct of consciousness. To fully
understand the implications of mental universe one must fully
understand that life is not coming from the brain, or body. Weare primary spirits 'using' secondary brains we have imagined in
our minds. Remember, all matter is spirit. You are the true
thinker who 'uses' the brain as a 'tool' or 'information relay' of
incoming and outgoing information and signals. The perceptions
of both the brain and body will ultimately pass on, but spirit is an
eternal part of God. Spirit is imagining its body, every part of it
including the brain. Again, the mind is not in the body, the body
is in the mind.
An elaborated understanding of the body being in the
mind is the realization that one's mind is not contained within the
confines of the universe, rather the universe exists within the
confines of the mind. Ultimately both time and space are but
mere illusions of that mind.
Know ye, that which is formed truly is formless, having form
only to thine eyes... Know I now that the formless is all there is of

form.
-Thoth-
"We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a
reality, we are that reality, when you understand this you see that
you are nothing, and in being nothing you are everything."
-The Buddha-The mind is everything what you think, you become.
-The Buddha-"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

Duality in separation, the birth and natureof the Ego
As discussed before, ultimately we are one, however, in
our current state and perception of mental separation we
experience a duality between the primary consciousness (spirit)
and the secondary ego of illusion.
Spirits carry out their separation
and resulting duality that
inevitably arises completely in
their minds. The ego filters the
actions and thoughts ofconsciousness, making it unique
and giving the feeling of an
autonomous self, independent of
everything we perceive. This gives the feeling and impression of
being completely separate from everything else out there in the
physical world. Or so it would seem. But this is truly
misperception. For all is truly of one collective mind or great
spirit, separation is a complete illusion, individuation of the one
force is the reality, of reality.
The nature of what the ego 'is' and 'does' isolates, confines,and restricts our thinking to very small parameters and forces
54
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
55/104
consciousness to believe or perceive that we are only that of our
limited body. The ego enforces the belief that the rest of theuniverse is separate and independent from us, despite the truth
that everything one could see is a recreation of his own minds
perceptions. Again, this is only illusion and self deception. For the
unaware mind, spirit has simply confused itself with its own
'shadow'.
The only reality is that of spirit. We must move past the
self limiting tendency to identify to much with the body and ego
and stop ignoring the underlying reality of 'oneness'. The
following passage from the Corpus Hermeticum outlines this
concept.
"Hermes: Behold an infant's soul, my son, that is not yet cut off,
because its body is still small and not as yet come unto its full
bulk.
Tat: How?
Hermes: A thing of beauty altogether is [such a soul] to see, not
yet befouled by body's passions, still all but hanging from the
Cosmic Soul! But when the body grows in bulk and draweth
down the soul into its mass, then doth the soul cut off itself and
55

bring upon itself forgetfulness, and no more shareth in the
Beautiful and the Good. And this forgetfulness becometh vice. thesoul's vice is ignorance. For that the soul who hath no knowledge
of the things that are, or knowledge of their nature, or of Good, is
blinded by the body's passions and tossed about. This wretched
soul, not knowing what he is, becomes the slave of bodies of
strange form in sorry plight, bearing the body as a load; not asthe ruler, but the ruled. This [ignorance] is the soul's vice...
The Greatest Evil amongst men is ignorance of God."
-The Corpus Hermeticum-

What is the nature of spirits absoluteessence?
As far as the inevitable question as to what spirit or the
ALL truly is, one must realize that by the very nature of the All it
is an unknown and unknowable essence which exists outside and
behind any of the senses and mental imagery which would
inevitably have to be used in an attempted physical description of
it. Essentially rendering
any attempted
description or
discussion as to whatspirit or the All really is
as ultimately futile. It is
tantamount to the
problem of trying to
describe a hole without
describing what is around the hole or the material the hole is
within, as the hole is essentially nothing. The problem is we can
only try to explain the hole in physical terms, and a holes reality
is a nondescript, empty space, which only exists descriptively in
reference against the physical. But even the latter does not
explain what the hole itself is, it only explains how it can not be
explained..
57

8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
58/104
Another metaphor pertaining to this issue, is that we can
only 'see' the wind by observing the ripples on the pond.
These realities are the problem of any attempted physical
description of spirits reality. Thus, it is best left and acknowledged
by the wise as the known unknown, the primary essence. This
eternal and un-dissolvable essence is a part of the very mind of
'God' or 'The ALL' himself. You are all Sons of the mighty one. You
exist within the mind of god, not separate from him.
What is above is below, as above so below.
-Hermetic Axiom-
58

8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?

The Physical realm does not exist outside ofthe observers perceptions?
Scientific research shows that there is no conclusive way
to prove that what we are being told by our senses is in fact based
in any separate, primary, material external existence. In other
words, there is no conclusive way to prove that the external
world exists at all outside of the perceptions of consciousness and
what the observer is mentally creating.
For example, when we have a dream about any scenario
or far off land, we eventually wake up and begin to realize thatthe whole dream experience was all just mental creations and
perceptions of our mind.
However,
consider the
following, if wedream a rock we do
not wake up and
think that the rock is
real in any sense or
fashion outside ofthe mental construct
59
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
60/104
it was created in. This same courtesy of logic however is not
being extended to that of the real world or primary commondream, despite a growing body of evidence proving the reality of
its dream like qualities.
In fact, the deeper quantum physics dives into the subject
the more evidence keeps popping up which thoroughly backs the
ancients notion that this universe is in fact no different from that
of a dream. Science is beginning to realize that the experience of
life in a physical world is just carried out in a larger longer
dream scape that we have simply named 'real' life. The outdated
and inaccurate notions and concepts of the external world are
simply inherited dogmas. As stated before in the holographicuniverse, the belief that our dreams are fake and the physical
word is real is ultimately nothing but a product of our bias's and
prejudices.
The 'unawakened' and 'unaware' spirit calls this house of
mirrors and passing illusions the physical world. However, the
reality of the matter is that the dreams you experience at night
are just as real as the room you sit in now. If you were to make
the statement that the room before you was real, then one must
by the very same decision making and qualification process
realize that dreams are just as real as the phenomenon before us
60

now. What is real? For it is not the passing of illusions but that
which is behind all illusions, spirit.
The following Zen story serves to illuminate.
Dreaming-
The great Taoist master Chuang Tzu once dreamt that he was abutterfly fluttering here and
there. In the dream he had no
awareness of his individuality as
a person. He was only a butterfly.
Suddenly, he awoke and found
himself laying there, a person
once again. But then he thought
to himself, "Was I before a man
who dreamt about being a
butterfly, or am I now a butterfly
who dreams about being a man?"

Understanding the many independentperspectives
Consider the following, your friends, or separate spirits,
are creating an entirely independent universe and distinctly
separate mind scape from what you are experiencing right now.
Your spirit is the part of you that is separate and independent
from a friends mind and there internally and mentally created
universe. When you see another person you are observing the
effects of that persons spirit on your minds perception and re-
creation of the physical universe or dream. You create their
body, what you see with your eyes and call their body is yourminds recreation of their underlying spiritual correspondence.
Their body is your brains creation, their mind is their own. Two
people sitting in one room create two independent mental
recreations of the room. Each spirit mentally builds the
perception of their universe completely within the confines of
their own mind.
So as discussed previously, what we call physical matter
is only perceptions achieved from an underlying inter-
networking of those independent spirits co-creating and existing
within one commonly created mental plane of reality called thephysical plane. Every element (no matter how simple or complex)
62
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
63/104
that creates that physical world, has a seperate spiritual
correspondence from your minds recreation of the physicalworld. The design of the universe and the underlying life and
intelligence behind all matter collectively allows The ALL to view
this realm through an infinity of separate and independent
internal perspectives of awareness. The design of the universe
facilitates such qualities in the ALL as 'omnipotence'(all knowing)and 'omnipresence' (all seeing).
The universe only exists through perceptions of the
perceiver (spirit), perhaps this discussion may shed a degree of
light onto another famous Zen parable.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it does it
make a sound?
-Zen Saying-
The physical realm being presented to you is constructedjust like a group of people playing an online video game on the
computer together co-create a common grounds of reality. In the
perception of that online world, the independent actions of each
avatar are decided by the playing consciousness, registered on the
keyboard, sent over the inter-networking of computers, received
by the other players computer hardware (physical brain), then

recreated and seen
by the other viewersvia their own
independent
monitors (or minds)
construction of the
game world. Theinformation being
exchanged is a
'programing code'
or information, being created and seen with an independent
perspective and vantage point. The individual computers each
create their own game worlds and perspectives that are displayed
via the monitors to the witnessing player or consciousness. One
can only witness the effects other are having on their computers
independent creations of that created world.
Spirit, the wind and causeSpirit is like the unseen wind that causes ripples on the
pond of another's mind. Your body to them is really nothing more
than these ripples being felt in their universe. You are the cause,
all they can see is the effect on their mind via, your spirit or
cause. For Spirit is the cause of all that is physical, spirit is cause.To enter another's mental realm is to bring your 'cause', or spirit,
64
-
8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
65/104
to the same coordinates of the mental realm. Two observers see
each others 'cause' and their bodies are the effects which arerendered in each others mind as representations or avatars of the
underlying intelligence (spirit).

Sacred Geometry In observing the expressions of matter within the physicalrealm, we find very precise and amazing common mathematics
in the patterns of creation through out the universe. This is no
accident. For
example, the spiralis a reoccurring
constant within
those degrees of
potential physical
manifestation, be it
a galaxy, hurricane,
or a seashell the
spiral is universally
present in all stages both 'above and below'. These universally
recurring mathematics, patterns, and behaviors are indicative of
a hologram. If anyone ever needed an absolute form of physicalproof to demonstrate to that individual that there is in fact an
infinite intelligence or force creating what is being viewed
before us, sacred geometry offers such a window into the divine.
It is a fact that every world or realm requires a creator
or programmer. Someone must write the video game program,

just as someone must create and for that matter continually
create the dream scape before our eyes.
The all is the creator, and in some Native American
cultures was even called the dream maker. Within this dream
scape, we can see God's mathematical 'signature' or 'fingerprint'
as it were abundantly present on a universal level. Sacred
Geometry allows us
to see and
experience this force
of creation indirectly
or second hand by
viewing its sacredmathematical
proportions and
geometric configurations rampant through out the physical
world it has created. The term 'sacred' has been used, because
these expressions are consistently found within the physical
world and universe. They are laws of nature that have been
placed there by the creative force we have called God. Therefore,
these are viewed as sacred mathematical expressions. Thus, the
name 'sacred geometry' has been used by many people and is the
common term of reference to this phenomenon. Sacred geometry
is the perfect programming language of the perfect creator being

The Growth of Spirit through timeAnother amazing aspect of the universe we are part of is
not only the perfect
interconnectedness of
everything, it is the
amazing growth and everchanging expansion of the
force of spirit..
This journey of the
growing spirit is started in
the initial separation from
the all into the lowest
form of matter rocks, stones, dirt and etc. However, it is crucial to
understand these divisions are not forgotten or discarded after
the physical avatars have long passed. The following passage is
from the Corpus Hermeticum and explains the phenomenonbeautifully.
"God is Maker of all things, and in His making, He maketh all [at
last] like to Himself...keeping them within itself, may make all
manifest, and [then] dissolving them, make them all new again;
and thus, like a Good Gardener of Life, things that have been
dissolved, it taketh to itself, and giveth them renewal once again...

There is no thing to which it gives not life; but taking all unto
itself it makes them live, and is at the same time the Place of Lifeand its Creator. "
-The Corpus Hermeticum-
The spirits of rocks, stones, and all other 'basic' matter
exists in a sleeping or dormant state of being and expression. This
very low vibrating state of existence is the first part of the
pendulum swing away from The ALL, and the fist stage of
separation. These lower vibrations and the many worlds they
create set the foundation for the growth and advancement ofmore advanced spiritual manifestations to take rise. A popular
example for spirit in this initial stage of manifestation is that of
an artist completely and mentally caught up in his creation to the
point where the artist seems to forget the concept of himself and
is totally concentrated on ones creation. This state is the most
'basic' and 'grossest' form of mental creation within the mind of
The ALL, and is the first stage of what is called the outpouring of
mental energy by The ALL in hermetic discourses. In this initial
stage, the pendulum has been thought to have swung to the
farthest extent of removal and separation from the absolute
oneness of The ALL. Slowly through time the individuation's beginto swing back and awaken in varying degrees of greater

spiritual manifestation as they become self aware of their
inherent potential. A potential that is ultimately the by product oftheir mighty heritage.
"...The distinction between 'life' and 'lifeless' is a human
construct... Remember our childhood as minerals, as lava, asrocks? Rocks contain the potentiality to weave themselves into
such stuff as this. We are the rocks dancing. Why do we look
down on them with such a condescending air? It is they that are
an immortal part of us."
-John Seed-As discussed, even the rocks will awaken in time. As their
essence is only sleeping. This gradual spiritual awakening in
stages could be viewed as the artist from our previous example
slowly awakening from the 'trance of creation ' they had beenfocused upon. Becoming aware of themselves once again in
gradual degrees of awareness.
This scale of spiritual potential extends past that of man
kind into the higher groupings of the visible universe. Planets,
stars, and galaxies are all higher formations and groupings whichare states and stages of existence that will all be inevitably

experienced and
worked through intime. This return
swing is described as
the in-drawing
phenomenon in
hermetic discourses.The pendulums
(spirits) return swing
home to The ALL.
Realize that all the
mysterious wonders of space are manifestations of this one
energy, physical creation lies in degrees and contrasts.
So in the simplest of terms, as we move through time, the
corresponding spirits of the individual building blocks of the
physical universe (matter) grow and become increasingly more
complex in awareness and potential as various stages of spiritual
awakening and physical manifestation have been reached,
worked through, and surpassed. Until eventually and inevitably
the ultimate unification and infinite expansion has been achieved
with the All.
Ultimate unification and expansion is the goal of thismental game. The return to oneness, or At-one-ment with God.

What is time, When is Life?So what exactly is meant by, All of space and time is
contained within thee.
as indicated by many
ancient mystics
worldwide? Thus far inthe book we have
discussed how all of the
'out there' to be
perceived in the infinite
void of space is truly
experienced and held
within the single mind
of the individuated
'spirit' or 'observer'. But how is the perception of the universe
perceived as an animated and flowing experience is the question
now at hand?
Simply speaking, the law of time.
All the universe, and the creations within it, are nothing
but varying degrees between the two poles of one underlying
phenomenon (hot and cold, sharp and dull, love and hate, light
and dark, and so on) The shifting of degrees between these poles
73

(or opposites) can only occur by movement through the force of
time. With out the shifting of degrees between poles, what weperceive as life or the 'animated' experience of living in a body
amongst a world of movement would cease to be. The universe
can only exist amidst time and the changing degrees of the poles
(opposites) behind all that we see.
However, to understand the force of time in a
comprehensive manner enough emphasis can not be put on the
fact that this universe is merely an illusion of the mind, as
previously discussed..
So what is time then?
Simply speaking, the true self (the timeless spirit),
experiences times 'ordering' as a sequential and statically fixed
series of individual moments, which became ordered
chronologically due to the necessity of requiring a beginning and
an end. The flowing movement through these individualmoments would be the totality of spirits experience of the
'external world' and time. Each separate frame provides another
multi-sensory glimpse into an ever changing realm of thought.
The change within that realm exists only in the contrast of
shifting degrees between poles found in all physical existence,The only reason the universe appears to be moving at all is
74

8/3/2019 Spirit's Dream, Understanding the Mental Universe: What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?

because of change. Without change, there are only paused
'screens', and change itself can only happen within the perceptionof time. All change therefore is dependent on and achieved
through the law of time. The 'big bang' and resulting universe
when being viewed from our current perspective is like a massive
explosion of sorts happening in slow motion.
Everything in spirits dream (the perceived external
universe) is in a constant state of motion and change. What rises
will fall, flesh that is born will pass, and the only permanent in
this dream of constant change seems to be the law of
impermanence itself. In the bodies of men, time is experienced as
the journey from birth to death.
Nature is an
endless
combination
and
repetition of
a very few
laws."

The repetitions of nature are but various elements of the
seven hermetic principles ever at work. There is no such thing asabsolute rest within in the perceptions of physical space and time.
Spirit is a learning intelligence, the watching observer of this
passing mental realm. Watching its thoughts safely from its
primary essence, the eternal aspect of self that is an indwelling
resident of the ALL's eternal essence. Spirit is in truth neither bornnor dead. For its reality is eternal and ever present outside of
space and the force known as time that animates the experience
of life within this universe. This phenomenon has been addressed
in the following discussion between Jesus and his disciples, found
in the Book of Thomas, verse18.
18. The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us, how will our end come?"
Jesus said, "Have you found the beginning, then, that you are
looking for the end? You see, the end will be where the
beginning is. Congratulations to the one who stands at the
beginning: that one will know the end and will not taste death."
Again we find the common theme and understanding of
spirit maintaining life at both ends of the universes beginning
and conclusion. In other words, because the essence of mind is
outside of the dream realm and the dreams animating force time
it is eternal in it's primary form and experiences no passage of
time. Time is the force within spirits mind that keeps all moments

separated and in order. Again, this force of time or 'ordering'
allows consciousness to move from frame to frame in order. Timeisn't flying by, we are flying by time. Moving through this
ordering all together as one moving wave of a synchronized
harmony atop an ocean of consciousness. Time is the force, not
the perception of movement through that force, This all being in
agreement with Albert Einstein's statements that time is relative tothe perceiver.
Another key detail of space and time that needs to be
understood is the fact that what we are observing and living
through right now are the decisions that we have already made
long ago. Enough emphasis can not be put on the fact that alltime has already occurred and came to its conclusion.
In seeing the perception of your current 'body' or 'form',
you are in truth simply watching the memories of a past
experience as a human being, a body that has long since passed.
In viewing this phenomenon, your minds sense of self attaches
significance and identification entirely on the body out of blind
ignorance to realities nature and the knowledge of its heritage.
For this shifting and feeble form is not your essence, only your
memory of a past reflection. Again, what you see before you is but
the memory of a life ended long ago. Understand that the plane ofexistence that your mind thinks from exists beyond that of time

itself. The wise attach significance accordingly. Our mind has the
freedom to sleep and forget this, or to awaken to this reality.There is an old and famous 'zen saying' that says "To get rid of
your passions is not nirvana - to look upon them as no matter of
yours, that is nirvana."
Another enlightening thought and quote on the same
subject states that...
"Even if you have not awakened, if you realize that your
perceptions and activities are all like dreams and you view them
with detachment, not giving rise to grasping and rejecting
discrimination, then this is virtually tantamount to awakening
from the dream."
-Muso Kokushi-In the easiest of terms, time is the force that prevents all
moments from occurring at once to the observer.
Spirit works through this order or sequence of events
experienced by spirit as the 'now', or 'present moment' effect andawareness, like rereading a linear storyline. In the experience of
78

the moment, we have the feeling or perception of making daily
decisions as if they were our spontaneous acts and realizations ofthat very moment. However in truth this is only deception and
illusion, as we truly made these decisions long ago.
At initial exposure to this concept, it might seem
confusing, but it is important to understand that you do have free
will, and you live your life by that free will. However, the free
will to make those choices and the choices themselves have
already been made and executed by you long ago. For the great
work was initiated and concluded in the same instant from the
timeless perspective of God and his indwelling spirits.
"THE ALL creates in its Infinite Mind countless Universes, which
exist for aeons of Time-and yet, to THE ALL, the creation,
development, decline and death of a million Universes is as the
time of the twinkling of an eye."
-The Kybalion.-From the perspective of the true outside observing spirit,
the universe has begun, and concluded all in one static and fixed
occurrence.
In truth the universe happened and ended a long time ago, In
reality it never happened at all.
