The Future and The New Past Presentation 33 of 52 Presentation 3-7 Presented by Roger Weir Saturday, August 15, 2015 Transcript: We come to the 33rd presentation in this year 2015 of preparation. Of preparation for a most important year in 2016. There are years that are important. And since the 20th century, since the 1890's, in fact, there have been a number of important years which always clusters and signals a major sea change in civilization. And the sea change I have called in honor of a physics term, carrier waves. Refers to the frequency registry of energy. And for us in our investigations and learning, the energy of civilization is time. And that time in the universe, in nature, emerges spontaneously as the first dimension. And because it then exists out of the spontaneous occurrence of the field of nature. Which, incidentally, mathematically is a zero field. So that the scalar of the cosmos is tuned to zero. But the tensor of the universe, which is phenomenal, is tuned to one. So that there is a scalar field to the cosmos, which has the source of time as the emergence of dimensions in the first place. Whereas the universe almost instantly but the term is instantly because the blossoming of space out of time as the first dimension gives you a three dimensional integral where time is brought into space. So that space is three dimensions and times first dimension are a four-dimensional fabric. So that energy is woven into the fabric of space in an integral way which allows for space to also, in itself, be phenomenally real. Which was not apparent except to a very, very rare few in the development of civilization. There were occasionally brilliant women of deep wisdom. And there were slightly more, but still very occasionally, high Dharma Men who were able not only to recognize, but to realize. Because it takes a double transform to be able to understand the nature of zero and the universality of one. Oneness. Integral. Whereas time though it is, and we can use the term co-opted into space, as the fabric of the four-dimensional universe. Time actually is characterized not so much in itself by integral, but by emergence. So that energy has in itself not a phenomenal, per say, quality, but it has a very rare pre-phenomenal primordial quality in that it relates to the zero field naturally. But it instantly relates to the phenomenal universe where integrals happen, where energy gets bound up into particles. And the particles continue the predilection, if you will, of the integral. Of the coming together on the basis of oneness. Of unity. So that whatever levels there might be to phenomenality they all tend to collect in unities appropriate to those levels. Atoms on the attosecond level will stay atoms, even though there is a variety of elements that have atomic structures. They all have that aspect and that quality. But when you bring atoms together as molecules, now you begin to have a predilection for increasing the integral. So that you begin to have literally something which is interesting with an atomic structure with the attosecond level of analytic, which is now available to us. Almost for several decades, actually. The molecular level where atoms come together by an exchange of electron structures, they have their movement, their dynamic, not on the attosecond level, but on the femtosecond level. The developer originally, the genius developer of femtosecond chemistry, taught at Caltech and is still there. He was born in Alexandria, Egypt, of all places. And next week we'll talk a little bit more and bring in his big two volume book and his one volume autobiography on femtosecond chemistry. But on the atomic level you can have metals. But on the femtosecond level now you can have not just metals, but you can have minerals. And so, we're going to pause just for a moment while late people find their way. And adjust themselves. Taking seats. And then return back with a brief recapitulation. Time as a dimension is literally emergent from a zero field. But in space-time, the emphasis is not on the zero field, but on the oneness of integraling. So that the fabric of space-time has a four-dimensional continuum. And we're talking about how it continues in that integral so that energy becomes woven into the fabric of space and becomes phenomenal. And we've been talking about how on different time registries, one can find that the phenomena on that level have a characteristic quality. On the level of atomic structure, you can have metals. On, and that's the attosecond level in time. On the femtosecond level, you can have molecules and that's when minerals appear. So that there is such a primordiality in the universe that is now available to be, have an analytic where one can see the actual dynamic, the movement. And as we were saying, the developer of femtosecond chemistry developed that in the late 1980's into the 1990's. And Attosecond physics was developed in the early 21st century. So that metals and then minerals. And once you have minerals, once you go from atoms to molecules, now you have the ability for there to be a biochemistry for the first time. From a physics to a chemistry to a biochemistry. And that is when the organic molecules are able to continue the integral and they literally generate then living forms that are able to utilize metals and minerals into structures that have increased complexity and flow, and life evolves from that. Modern, that is to say, in the last 40 years or so. Modern evolutionary theory has had an enormous transformation. And it is now characterized analytically as macro evolution. In fact, a whole issue of Paleontological Review [Paleontological Journal] was on macro evolution. And one of the developers of macro evolution, Niles Eldridge, among his many books, Macro Evolutionary Dynamics [Macroevolutionary Dynamics: Species, Niches, and Adaptive Peaks]. That is to say, the time level of energy now has come full circle. And his latest book is called, entitled Eternal Ephemera Adaptation and the Origin of Species From the 19th Century Through Punctuated Equilibria and Beyond. Published in 2015. We are able to currently characterize, analyze and appreciate the ability for these various levels of life to go back to their origins and eventually to appreciate that they really do originate. And the term I prefer to use with this that deep wisdom is able to recognize that the whole integral universe emerges primarily through a primordial zero field. And that the emergence of phenomenology on all levels from that is a mystery. It's a mystery called generically birth. So that that deep wisdom is feminine. It has on every level through the life levels, down to the molecular, down to the atomic, down to the dynamics of first dimensional time primordial sourcing into primary emergence. And that this birthing is due to an acceptance mysteriously. Of whatever occurs as fertility. Males search for the truth of what makes that fertile. And females understand primordiality. And that the acceptance is the context out of which that searching, that probing, could possibly be not only effectively realized, but is dependent upon being accepted or not. And only when accepted does the fertilization occur. And so, a deep wisdom is not just an adjunct to a high dharma. It's the only way in which it becomes real. We've been looking at the way in which figures born in the late 19th century who came to maturity in the early 20th century were a generation that had a prestige that something immensely major was happening to mankind. In his civilization. And the concern was with time, because intellectually, the men and deeply the women understood it has something to do with the dynamic, which is hidden in nature. Not hidden away but hidden because it is so obvious. And that no realization can deal with something obvious. And so, there is a mysterious mitigation. Realization must be preceded by a recognition. And it is deep feminine wisdom that does the recognizing. And this is why the love of the recognizing is the beginning of applying wisdom to life. And the Greek term for it that was used 2500 years ago was a Philo Sophia, a philosopher. A lover of wisdom, of how the sourcing occurs furtively to emerge, then dynamic of time into a geometry. And Pythagoras is still known 2500 years later for his pithy wisdom sayings. And one of they were all began with the Greek phrase Ipsa Dixit, he said it [he himself said it]. He said, history as geometry, which is has been puzzling to masculine thinkers ever since. But someone who is a lover of wisdom understands, is capable of understanding the accepting recognition that without the energy space does not occur because there is no dimension where, where it can occur instantly. Yes. But it cannot occur spontaneously. And so, something as massively simple as that continues to badger the structures of integral only thought. And the most powerful integral only thought is logic. On one side of its coin, of its valuation as a coin. And the other side is, one side logic, and the other side something which we will get to and let emerge. We call it still from its original term, and that is mathematics. And for Pythagoras, introducing mathematics, the Greek word out of which it came was mathēmatikē. Mathēmatikē, a mathēteusate was someone who was attentive to learn. And when they learned they were then able not only to share with others who had learned, as companions, as a community of philosophers, but to be able to teach it. And so, the mathēmatikē in that classical Greek of Pythagoras became those who are able to vision, who are quote able to see. Because the visioning is that field where the zero field is remembered but remembered in a matured way. And when the zero field is remembered in a mature way, it becomes an infinite field. And the fertilizer is the zero field. It is indeed the infinite field. And together, we've constituted logically, mathematically, wisdom Dharma way, a third field. The field of the real. This was something that had a proceeding for the Pythagoreans and that were those who could hear wisdom being talked to because and they were called the akousmatikoi. Acousmatic, they could hear. Why was it a prelude to being able to vision to see? Because the use of speech on a human level was the medium by which a mythos, a mythology, myths, were able to do the integrating work of taking the ritual action foundations of phenomena and portioned out methods of doing. So that the action and phenomena of a ritual base talked about were able then to be integrated through symbols, through ideas, through the imagination, through the memory, into the integrals, which then were able to be expressed in a mathematic. So that one was able to see for the first time. One was able to vision, actually. And one of the tests for that was that those who as a community could hear together, their language was purely in hearing, not in talking themselves. And so, there was a silence. And the ancient way in which it was expressed was which is not just a Hermetic silence. But is the most ancient of all of the birth children of Isis and Osiris, Horus. Horus in human form is a little baby boy with his finger to his lips. He is borne out of the mutual silence of the male and female. The mother and father. The Isis and the Osiris. And understands that those who then understand the symbol, it awakens and augments the ability for them to see. To remember to see. To remember not to look, but to vision. And it's that access to the infinite field, like the access to the zero field of nature that shows the limitations of a logic and the limitations of a mental integral only structure, no matter how powerful it seems or is it is deeply limited. And in the early 20th century, a German group of thinkers developed what was called logical positivism. And the first time that someone poked a hole, poked a finger, a probing finger of visionary seeing. Not only in being able to say it, but able to write it out, write it out as a book. Was a young man, a Jew, who is 21 years old. His name was Julius Weinberg. And he wrote a book called An Examination of Logical Positivism. And it was in English published in a series on by Routledge Keegan Powell in London that was edited by a polymath named C.K. Ogden. And the Library International Library of, of Science and Psychology. It was under Weinberg that I studied at the University of Wisconsin for four years, along with several others, other professors. But at a time when he was writing the great Short History of Medieval Philosophy, published eventually by Princeton University Press. And he would bring in his briefcase every Tuesday morning in Bascom Hall, where on the second floor his lecture room was. And he would read us out the writings of the week. And he taught us that the only way to get free of the scholastic jungle of logical tightness, of Aristotelian tuning that was almost monkish in its limiting that only someone who can do this and understand this and assent to this is really important and powerful and therefore the control is there. And he said the way out was to be able to understand that it as is as logically conclusive to advocate the pro as it is to advocate the con of any argument. Because when you know both sides of the coin of a logical structure, you can see that the result is what beautifully is called dead even. And dead even negates the capacity to insist that this is right beyond all other things. And one of the geniuses who worked on medieval limitations of a masculine integral only logic was William of Ockham. And through Ockham's razor showed how you can progressively through progressive layer upon layer, shave off the deception that you had the answer. And that you were right in this. And that what showed up is that you ended up empty handed. You effectively were returned back to a real zero field in your thought. It was a form of Zen, actually. In the 20th century we're going to come back from the break and we're going to look at one of the most profound psychologists who became a world phenomenon, C.G. Jung, who thought progressively he was getting closer and closer to the universal understanding of the real quality of what it was to be human on all of these levels, archetypal down to projection. And the hidden person all the time that made his life work. Gave him five children. Was equally a genius to him. Was his wife, Emma Jung. And she spent about 30-35 years collecting the material and writing The Grail Legend. And its subtitle in the German includes from a psychological perspective. And showing that the psychological perspective was limited and thus really flawed. It was finished. She died in early February of 1955. And a devastated Jung. He didn't realize until then that she was literally the orchestrator of everything. It was completed by Marie-Louise von Franz, who had been with Jung since she was a teenager. And The Grail Legend, from a psychological perspective, is one of the great classics. Not just about the Grail, but about the deep wisdom of the feminine. Which without that scalar of zero field reality excepting the structures of thought, no matter how complicated lever of find do not hold at all. When they recently redid the house of C.G. Jung. It is formerly called the House of Emma and Carl Jung, Gustav Jung hyphen Rauschenbach because Emma's maiden name was Rauschenbach. She met him when she was 14, coming down a staircase in the large, palatial estate house. And he was 21 coming in because his mother had said, why don't you visit the Rauschenbach's because that mother is an old friend of mine. And he saw her on the stairwell, and she immediately just turned around and went back up the stairs. She had nothing to say to him at all. And the spontaneous realization, according to Jung's own writings, he didn't think it. The conviction came. That's my wife. Just that. And seven years later, when he approached her, she was 20. She, of course, turned him down. She could see. And as she used her great humanity, she began to appreciate that this was going to be a challenging and interesting life. And it was. But it was also fruitful. Let's take a little break. END OF SIDE ONE Let's come back. Let's come back to…Every week I do presentation notes and I've done them now for several decades, every week. Writing them during the week and then harvesting them and passing them out to those who are companions along the way. When you're able to hear in an extended silence, you're able also then to read. And read not just in between the lines, but read behind the lines into that field of learning that one is participating in. This is one of the illustration pages. And this is a photograph of the third conference of psychoanalysts held in Weimar Germany in 1911. And front row center is Mrs. Emma Jung, because she was considered a on a par with anybody else as a great analyst. In fact, her book that was published professionally was called Anima and Animus. That in Jungian analytical psychology, the anima is the feminine soul of a man, and the animus is the masculine soul of a woman. And that whenever they are able to meet, engender as human beings, there is a deeper companionship of soul mates. And there is a third eternal level of spirits. And the fact is that this is true of any combination of genders in life forms. There are some life forms that because of survival, they had to be able to shift from a male gender to a female gender in order to receive their own fertilization. And so, there is an enormous kaleidoscope of life and of life forms. Emma Jung, when you see a close up of this. There was a biography of Jung by Gerhard Wehr. W-e-h-r. Not my name W-e-i-r. Mine is the Scottish Weir and his Wehr is the Germanic. She is here in the middle of five women, and on the left, as you would look at the photograph is Lou Andreas-Salomé, who was as a young woman, a friend, and was pursued by Friedrich Nietzsche, the great philosopher. She was under analysis by Sigmund Freud, who held her in the highest regard. And as a more mature young woman still, she was a lover and inspiration of Rainer Maria Rilke. And the list of greats who appreciated her, including Carl and Emma Jung. And so, it is Lou Andreas-Salomé. It is Emma Jung in the center. And on the other end is Antonia, better known as Toni. Toni Wolff, who for 40 years was one of the closest allies and co-analysts with Carl Jung. And one of Emma Jung's great understandings was that the vivacity of Jung's struggling personality as a man to realize the truth of the psyche extended to all of his patients, extended especially not only to the patients, but those who became involved in a kind of a transference and who became great admirers of Jung. And from time to time, those great admirers would come into a conjunctio with their Carl. And Emma struggled with this aspect of his intense, fiery, almost furious at times, almost a volcanic temperament at times that only her incredible depth of not dead even, but of deep wisdom acceptance was able to understand that all of this was a kaleidoscopically intense life. They were married in 1903. The day after Christmas of the following year, 1904. Their first daughter was born Agatha. And almost every two years after that, a child was born. Four of the children were girls. And only the middle, the third child was a boy. Franz. And so, you had Agatha and Greta. And then you had the youngest one was Helene. And here is the photograph of Agatha and Greta and Marianne on one side with Emma seated in the chair at the center again. And Carl Gustav at the side with Franz. And you can understand that Emma Jung more than any other woman in the 20th century, especially in the early 20th century embodied the protagonist, heroine of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. The woman who, whose conscious stream of consciousness was like an ocean of consciousness, picking up the complexities of an incredible flow. Not only of her family, including her husband, was a logical positivist. Who was stuck, as it were, and the alphabet of certainty on our he could get through M and O, but, but what about R? That's as far as he could get, had gotten, would remain stuck there. She remained married to him. And all the children came to her for relationality. All of the visiting intellectuals came to her. All of the servants came to her. The friends came to her. She was not so much seated in the center of a portrait photograph; she was the pivot in which the life was not only recognizable but realizable and thus real. One of are the things that dominated Jung was the attempt to understand the time form that they were living in. And he used a Greek term for it. In fact, one of the books in The Collected Works of Jung, in the Bollingen series. I'll talk about that a little bit later. About the Bollington series. Their house outside of Zurich and Kuznick was named Bollingen. Volume nine out of 20 part two is entitled Aon. It's a Greek term for a time form. An Aon is a time period that begins with something hugely major and runs through its complete cycle to the end. And then there must be, in one way of understanding classically, a new Aon. So that there has to be some new way, some new person who will initiate that. But Volume nine, Part one, its title is The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. That the problem, he called the Aon in which they were living the Christian Aon. Not that he was, he was not theological at all. He was psychological. He wasn't after a theology. He was after a psychology. He was after a psychotherapy to be able to utilize analytically the psychology to return one to the wholeness. But the wholeness had to be in terms of what he named the Christian Aon, which obviously was coming to a close. Which obviously was going to precipitate an immense crisis. Not in the world primarily, but in the human psyche, because the time forms were time forms of civilization. But his understanding of the time, forms of civilization, though he used Greek terms, was actually Roman. Actually, understood time in terms of an age to be a cycle. And the old cycle was that begins with an age of gold. And yes, it tapers off a little bit. It settles into an age of silver. And that then settles into something that is like a pastiche as an age of bronze. And then it degrades into an age of iron in which sheer stupid power, greed and lust take over and finally decay everything and everyone and all the psyches until they are a chaotic swamp. Something has to be born. Someone to bring a new age of gold. This cycle of time is a logical structure and is deeply flawed because it is not recognizable. It is not realizable. But profoundly it's just not real at all. It is in every sense of the word, a karmic Maya. Full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Nothing whatsoever. One of the mysteries of a carrier wave is that it must utilize a crest of the frequency of a time form. The nadir, the depth, the truss of the time form is about 500 years after the carrier wave. Aldous Huxley beautifully called it a via Negativa. It's not negative, it's just that what was there in the carrier wave becomes invisible. It becomes palpably invisible. One can't get to it. One knows what's there, yes. Carrier wave is quite eloquent about it, but we can't get it to it. So, it's a via Negativa. And then the return back to that horizon, that zero horizon where the balance of the zero time is the oneness of the tensor mathematics of the universe with the zero scalar of the cosmos. And so, the universe and cosmos are in repose, as it were. Dynamically at that moment. And the return then is a millennium. And is apocalyptic because it remembers where the truss was that it came from and ell, where is it heading now? And so that combination make an apocalypse. And so, millennia are always apocalyptic. They experience relief. But how long is this going to last and where is this going to end up? You think you have anxiety? Try a millennium. Whereas the crest has seen we came from a carrier way. We went through a trough. We came back, penetrated through the horizon and have risen this far. They began not to look with trepidation, but to remember with fondness where that carrier wave came from. And so, they carry that good expectation like the Via Negativa began to carry a mysterious doubting expectation. The renaissance at the crest carries the confidence that we can if we hone this, we can make a new reference for the new carrier that will come. And so that that renaissance and the reference wave for the Aon of the new carrier wave. But it will not be in a circle in a cycle because time is dynamic. It will be in a spiral. And that spirality will have a rotational angular momentum plus courtesy of a derivative, which is quite real of the dynamic of time. Which means there will be an adjunct to the electric dynamic, the electro dynamics of time that will have a magnetic complement in its angular momentum. But because of the nature of rotation that it can be right-handed or left-handed and thus it is chiral. That the chirality of the magnetic moments, plural, of time forms of civilization. Especially from the reference wave on to the carrier wave will have a complexity where one has to have the full quality that isn't just a helix, but because of the chirality it is actually a double helix. And so, the discovery that the carrier structure of life is, in fact, a double helix. With the proviso that the double helix, one of the helixes moves dynamically forward, the other moves dynamically in the opposite time angular momentum direction. They don't come together like parallels. They come together as opposites that have woven a double helical structure that has a periodicity to their relationality. And there is a third aspect, a resolving third aspect. Where the fertility is, where the fertility for development is, for evolution is. And this is the RNA, which has several varieties. But it's third quality coming into the balance double Helix gives quite an interesting thing. And so, one of the great focuses increasingly in the 1st century of that previous Aon, one automatically dated it to 0 A.D. 0 BC, 1 A.D. About 90 A.D. came the realization that the ancient symbol that one could hold up was the rod of a creative making. That was the true rod of the sovereignty of the cosmos in living form was surrounded by double helix. And thus, became ensemble the caduceus of Hermes Trismegistus, thrice greatest. The DNA raised to high wisdom. Us realizing the real on a cosmic scale. With the RNA to be able to pass that on. Thrice greatest. The difficulty was that in that carrier wave deep wisdom femininity was left out. Except for one. Only one. One and only one woman. The mother. The mother who was a virgin. It's not about logic. And so, the new carrier wave in our time needed to understand where are the women? Where is the deep wisdom? It isn't in a great mother that this now is like a supersonic rare virgin Goddess mother. Her name was settled in 451 A.D. at a great council and Ephesus. The second Council of Ephesus, and she was named in Greek Theotokos, Mother of God. And from then on, if you didn't believe this doctrine, you were killed. If you argued against it, you were incarcerated and tortured. And if you didn't confess, you would die. Part of the Via Negativa. It took an amazing amount of recognition passed on to realize that the women surrounding Jesus were the carriers of the wisdom. And in fact, it wasn't a virgin mother. She had nine children. Jesus was the first. She had four other boys, and she had four daughters. And it was the four sisters of Jesus that provided the life living sustenance for him on every conceivable level, including the personal. With three other women, two of them sisters in their own right. One of them Mary Magdalene, her sister, older sister, Martha. And the seventh was the only niece of Jesus. Her name was Anna. Anna was a huge ancient name in that feminine family lineage going all the way back. Mary, the mother's mother, was named Hannah. Ha-Anna. The sacred mother, Hannah. And her second daughter was named Susannah. Her third daughter was named Joanna. Susannah, who had the only girl. And all of the children of those four sisters was just named Anna. And that Anna was about 16 years old. A full-fledged woman in Judaism at that time. At the time of the, not the crucifixion only. He was born on Passover. So, when he was crucified just previous to Passover, it was a preparation for a Passover. And what is the Passover of? A Passover of the Angel of death. Which if you had that marking, if you had that symbol, if you had that on the doorway. The origin of a mezuzah. This was at the lintel center of the doorway. The Angel of Death would pass you by. That symbol was the blood of the Passover lamb that was placed there like an ancient Paleolithic red. Because the first color to ever be used in Paleolithic art other than the black outlining was red. On the first use of the red was to make what colloquially early on was called dots. Red dots. They were like focused splotch. And great appreciation of Paleolithic art. Came to understand that what those were and they were collected together. One cave early on Pech Merle in Southern France has some horses, and the humps hind parts of the horses have a whole bunch, maybe dozens and dozens of these red dots. They are presence points. They express that the artist knowingly puts the knowingness there. Where the energy of running dynamic for the horse occurs. So, the crucifixion is about those dots of blood on the lintel of the door. But those inside walk free, staying in life through that doorway. Onward with their life. Those seven women, four sisters and a pair of sisters and a niece were the ones who made the sustaining not only for Jesus, but for the disciples. All 12 of them. They were fed, three years. They were cared for. Houses were made available. The oldest was named Salome. She was born in Alexandria. Jesus born about 9 B.C. She was born about three years later, about 6 B.C. Her two sons were Saint John and Saint James. Saint James, about almost ten years older than his brother, Saint John. The second also born in Alexandria right when they heard that Herod was, Herod the Great was dead. They could return back to Palestine. Her name was Susannah. And she was not only the mother of Anna, but the mother of a son named for his father, because Susannah's husband was Joseph, Joseph of Arimathea. A town in Palestine, in Judea. And he ran a great shipping company that went all the way to the west of Britain. Where he imported something extremely rare, and that is tin. He also imported silver and lead. But it was tin because you cannot make bronze out of copper without tin. And so rare is it that there are only half a dozen places in the whole known world that had deposits of tin large enough that you could mine it and keep mining it and utilize it. And so, the trade, the tin trade was an ancient trade. And the first person to use the tin trade was Sargon of Akkad at about 2300 B.C. And he used it as the international monetary unit. A measure of tin anywhere from Cypress to the Indus, which is where his caravan roots finally went 4400 years ago. Those payments in tin allowed them free passage and also access to those peoples. And so, the first king of kings with somebody like Joseph of Arimathea, he ran huge, long trading routes. It's about 2500 miles from Tyre to the west of Britain. And Anna, when she finally left with her parents and all four sisters, all four husbands. Martha and her brother Lazarus. An old family friend, Nicodemus, who helped Joseph of Arimathea take Jesus down off the cross and saved his blood in little cruet, tiny glass cruets, Alexandria and Egyptian glass. Very wonderfully wrought. And took with them. Anna as a mature woman. And in 37 A.D. she married a great king, King Belli Moi. And she had two sons and a daughter. One of the sons became the king of England. The other became the king of France. And the daughter Penardum married the man who really was King Lear. He was the king of the fishing in the whole Irish Sea. From Scotland down through Ireland coasts, Wales, middle Midlands of English lands around where Liverpool is and north and all the way to Somerset. And his kingdom was in neighboring Devon. It's in Devon on the coast that Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse is set. And so, there are peculiarities that come in the 20th century. That are astounding enough to carry over till next week. And we'll do that. END OF RECORDING
