The premise of this Reciprocality paper is that since M0 is real, there is a better way to see the universe, that is actually more self-consistent than the usual way. The universe is actually much more like the one described in "3: Reciprocal Cosmology" than the current conventional picture. And others have seen it before.
All that was required to get "3: Reciprocal Cosmology" was to apply "2: The Ghost Not" to some current mysteries in physics and the answers came rolling out, ironically just like the mechanistic procedure for success craved by dopamine self-addicts. So it goes.
While "Reciprocal Cosmology" came from considering puzzles that need advanced experimental gear to discover in the first place, it would seem that one can do the same thing by considering say, fractal mathematics and scratching in the sand with a stick.
Of course, in the universe with two arrows of time described in "3: Reciprocal Cosmology" (and also below), one can also see all structures as the decay products of (to us) future structures and so inspired by a greater, later intelligence. Either way, it is interesting that these 2,000 year old text fragments seem to match the prior paper "5: Hypertime" so well, and both describe a universe where such (old paradigm) anachronistic data could appear 2,000 years ago.
You can identify the same universe in Gurdjieff's "Beelzebub's Tales To His Grandson", and as J. G. Bennett pointed out in his "Gurdjieff: Making a New World", that text has parallels with several ancient ideas. Also in Rudolf Steiner's ideas and Alice Bailey's Theosophical stuff.
Seeing past M0 to the Reciprocal Cosmology seems to have been the roots of all mystical traditions, and the associated religions can be seen here as the mystical teachings twisted around so that they come (partially) straight again when absorbed by M0 distorted minds. Thus the religions are all logically hopeless, have tremendous power over some (but not all) minds, and are in their basic messages, all equivalent and correct. But all are incomplete and in the long term insufficient, since it is not possible to provide procedural guidelines in a universe where the very job of consciousness is to perceive and integrate the implicit.
I've messed with the run order of the text fragments in this earliest Christian document from the Dead Sea Scrolls to better make the point. I argue that Reciprocality here provides a most remarkable demonstration of fractal back echo on the creative arrow. Enjoy!
Jesus said, "The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of the light of the Father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light."
Physical objects are visible because of the light reflected off them, but the light (or mass energy) that they are composed of is not visible since it is bound, and does not escape. It is bound by pure physics rather than by mirrors and stuff, in the same way that light is bound by pure physics in a black hole. The final back hole at the end of the universe will form, but it will not be possible to see it directly, since it will be surrounded by an ergosphere of highly energetic infalling matter.
Note that this works in conventional Hubble/Einstein/Minkowski spacetime which has a Big Bang (singularity) at one end, and a Penrose/Weyl Curvature Hypothesis final black hole at the other. It works better in Reciprocal cosmology, which has the same black hole at the start of creation (creative arrow) and at the end of creation (recreative arrow).
In Reciprocal cosmology, the binding of mass energy is done by the same infalling effects as cause gravity, so the "image of the light of the Father" bit is even better.
The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the Kingdom of Heaven is like."
He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."
Big Bang and Fractal Generators.
Jesus said, "I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one."
Data compression. If you get 20% compression of a 1MB file, you might get 40% compression of a 10MB file. Really good algorithms are exponential like this, and the file is then so compressed half of it is then no use at all - you need the entire file to extract a single byte.
Jesus said, "A city being built on a high mountain and fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden."
The end state. The self organisaion at cosmological scales is indeed unmissable.
Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?', say to them, 'We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?', say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the Living Father.' If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you?', say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'"
Beautiful. Reciprocal cosmology of course. The only other comment to make is that "movement" is God in the creative/recreative cycle of the universe, "repose" is the beginning/end state. The two modes are seen in the solitary and elect, because they gather data, then they integrate it.
Jesus [said], "The Kingdom of the Father is like a certain woman. She took a little leaven, [concealed] it in some dough, and made it into large loaves. Let him who has ears hear."
Fractal generators.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom of the [Father] is like a certain woman who was carrying a jar full of meal. While she was walking [on] a road, still some distance from home, the handle of the jar broke and the meal emptied out behind her on the road. She did not realize it; she had noticed no accident. When she reached her house, she set the jar down and found it empty."
Particles on world-lines between the creation and the blur, with information transferring from the creative to the recreative arrow by the agency of consciousness.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom of the Father is like a certain man who wanted to kill a powerful man. In his own house he drew his sword and stuck it into the wall in order to find out whether his hand could carry through. Then he slew the powerful man."
Hyper-real beings create themselves in their own private space-times. We still have no sensible analogy for this today. Well, maybe one could say, "The Kingdom of the Father is like a compiler that compiled itself and diffed itself against the original. Then it could compile itself."
Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest."
Kick the dopamine so you can exploit feedback in cognition and spot the implicit, kick the Ghost Not and stop denying it, and you'll see the deep structure, because it's realler than the "things that decay, things that rust."
And why "for"? It means "because". It's a funny way to use "because", unless we allow "there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest" to be a literal description of the universe as a Bennett machine. A reversible computer.
His disciples questioned Him and said to Him, "Do you want us to fast? How shall we pray? Shall we give alms? What diet shall we observe?"
Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the sight of Heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered."
It's nothing at all to do with finding the correct procedure to follow mindlessly. That is a bizarre idea cooked up by people addicted to their own boredom products. What matters is not stuffing up your own ability to see the harmony of it all, the elegance of it, by representing parts of it as other than what they are. And don't go against the inner promptings that come from the kernel of your being. These are the essence that you are a reflection of. In the end, it and its (down here) little brothers get bigger and bigger, more and more obvious, and eventually dominate the universe as actual manifest things.
Again, note the "because the universe is a Bennett machine".
Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man."
Entropy, identity and increasing complexity. Despite the overemphasis on thermodynamic phenomena in our culture, the complexity of the universe is increasing. All help appreciated, for the programming of an intelligent toaster is a sacred act.
And He said, "The Kingdom is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
As the essences, or collected and integrated deep structure become more apparrant, the contribution from different collectors will vary. A few big collections can render huge numbers of little ones unnecessary, because there's nothing new in there, and information costs information to manage. Forget the "every little sparrow that falls" stuff - its quite misleading. Yes, the whole thing is co-ordinated - it's a mission critical system that a hyper-real being has entrusted its very existance to - it's very co-ordinated. But God is very, very busy right now and is not about to wipe the noses of crew members who aren't even on the job. You get great perks, but only on company business. Then the rules change. For pities sake, what is the problem? The pleasure of finding things out is better than sex. Get on with it.
If still unclear on this, see Logia 107 about talking to fat sheep.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them, the largest, went astray. He left the ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it. When he had gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep, 'I care for you more than the ninety-nine.'"
As Logia 8.
Jesus said, "The kingdom of the Father is like a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise and bought the pearl alone for himself. You too, seek his unfailing and enduring treasure where no moth comes near to devour and no worm destroys."
Data compression, entropy, essence and what persists. See Logia 23 (data compression) and Logia 8 (fat fish) and Logia 107 (fat sheep).
Jesus said, "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive. When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"
This one says it all. It is very beautiful. Imagine the two dimensional contracting ball that represents Reciprocal cosmology. Each onion skin radius is another moment, with the same stuff in it. The last one will certainly be heaven, so they must all be. He's counting the journey towards God as upwards, so heavens pass away upwards.
There are some people who are utterly predictable, who do not grow in new directions. These people are not being informed by their essences, and hence are not spiritualised. They therefore exhibit none of the cosmological, information conserving features of life. On the other hand, some people are informed by their essences, and exhibit the cosmological features of life. These people's essences will continue to grow as time passes because the only place they can have come from is the end state.
As time passes, stuff that dies in the thermodynamic backfall only does so to be repumped into order by the crazy self organising imperatives of a backwards explosion that we have lost sight of. The spontaneous collision of order hidden in the thermal noise adds to itself while gathered in one material representation, and then jumps to pump again, back through the noise. As life - order in the process of adding to itself - does this trick it is aided by increasing the backfall rate of dead stuff, either by requisitioning it back into added order, or hastening the time when it will be ready to be pumped again.
The people he is addressing are currently order adding to itself. Or at least they should be. At some point they will reach their pumping limit, and will have to jump. They will need to be made alive and so will have to be eaten, but if they are not chewy they'll have a problem.
Then he reminds them of the terrible consequences of Ghost Not exclusive thinking and universe denial. They were born perceiving a single universe, but converted it into the dyadic universe. This prevents them collecting deep structure. When their consciousnesses must seperate into incidental data that are reconstructions of bits of multiple sources, and complex maps that cannot be smashed together but must come from an authentic, single upline source, they will disintegrate.
Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your Father."
He's trying to make the point that in the hyper-reality God really lives in, this spacetime and causality don't apply. In fact, God uses this universe to create himself. There is only one such creature in this universe. We get to do it too, because we end up as recombined parts of God. However, you will not collect much deep structure lying face down on the floor. Better to get up and get Seeing.
The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be."
Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."
Straight Reciprocal cosmology. The beginning (creative arrow) is the end (recreative arrow). If you choose to be down here, it is (in a wonderous circular causality itself a miniature of what God is doing) because you exist up there. So you come from there and are heading back.
Here is the deep answer to the question of free will in the Reciprocal picture. You, like everything in this universe, are fated. But because (on the recreative arrow) you are an information adding small law of physics - the only explaination for what you do - it is what you are indeed going to do of your own free will that seals your fate. There are no uninvolved "observers" - that is a ridiculous fantasy cooked up by dopamine self-addicts and dyadics reasoning backwards (badly) from a ridiculous, initial, paranoid assertion that they cook up that they are not to blame. What a wretched state of mind.
Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you become My disciples and listen to My words, these stones will minister to you. For there are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed summer and winter and whose leaves do not fall. Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not experience death."
People who have their essences established in the creative/recreative single cycle are in a good state. People who take heed of Jesus and set about their gathering and spontaneous complexity adding activities will be assisted by serendipity coming from the crazy backwards explosion. Then they get involved in the cool stuff that goes on in hyper-reality.
Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty."
Like the way thought comes from waste heat spontaneously stochastically cooling because it derives from the deep hidden order of the multifractals seeded in the explosion of creation (creative arrow), as described in 4: Consciousness.
Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with him."
Small household gods that one might purchase in the market. The two real gods he refers to are the god in movement whose bits are called space and mass energy and deep structure, and the god in repose or hyper-real end state.
Jesus said, "Whoever has something in his hand will receive more, and whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has."
Bring some deep structure with you and your bit will be plugged into all the bits it relates to. Bring nothing connected and you disintegrate.
Mary said to Jesus, "Whom are Your disciples like?"
He said, "They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field.' They (will) undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and give it back to them. Therefore I say to you, if the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him into his house of his domain to carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding. When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
We are down here to collect the deep structure, roll it up as understanding based learning that we comprehend in a timeless moment and never forget, take it back upline, and deposit it.
In doing this we can be distracted by dopamine self-addicts coercing us to ritual fix with them, and dyadics coercing us to deny what we see. We must be ready to do our collection job anyway. The big thing is to get on with it.
He said, "There was a good man who owned a vineyard. He leased it to tenant farmers so that they might work it and he might collect the produce from them. He sent his servant so that the tenants might give him the produce of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him, all but killing him. The servant went back and told his master. The master said, 'Perhaps <they> did not recognize <him>.' He sent another servant. The tenants beat this one as well. Then the owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will show respect to my son.' Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the heir to the vineyard, they seized him and killed him. Let him who has ears hear."
We are using resources loaned to us for the purpose of collecting deep structure (see Logia 21). Due to slam total bloodyminded intransigence, dyadics will not do their natural jobs, and viciously attack those who do.
Jesus said, "The angels and the prophets will come to you and give you those things you (already) have. And you too, give them those things which you have, and say to yourselves, 'When will they come and take what is theirs?'"
Data compression and implicit data. Insights yield deep structure. Bear in mind that you will eventually have to produce your deep structure collection.
Jesus said, "Why do you wash the outside of the cup? Do you not realize that he who made he inside is the same one who made the outside?"
Ghost Not. People are not observers who are not to blame because they are not involved in the universe. They are a part of the universe.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom is like a man who had a [hidden] treasure in his field without knowing it. And [after] he died, he left it to his son. The son did not know (about the treasure). He inherited the field and sold [it]. And the one who bought it went plowing and found the treasure. He began to lend money at interest to whomever he wished."
The implicit data can propagate through time unseen until someone does see it. It never disappears, and can be very beneficial to those who do see.
Jesus said, "The heavens and the earth will be rolled up in your presence. And one who lives from the Living One will not see death." Does not Jesus say, "Whoever finds himself is superior to the world?"
The self-citation here is a bit redundant, but I expect it impresses self addicts and dyadics no end. Matter and spacetime will indeed be rolled up, and those of us who choose to be down here will, by circular causality, get on board for the transcendence to hyper-reality. Yippee!!!
Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."
He will realise he rules over the All. Eventually. The only possible source for all the structure in the universe is the end state. From there everything falls apart on the creative arrow. On our arrow the entire universe eventually becomes a coherent thing. To do it, the very late universe will need to be very determined to make everything fit correctly. The decay products of this tendancy to worry away at something until it is right can be seen in many people today, and will be strong in anyone who acyually unravels this stuff.
The nature of the troubling is a consequence of the partial pictures one gets early in the work.
Jesus said, "If those who lead you say, 'See, the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
Entering the Kingdom does not mean going somewhere. It means recognising the way the universe around us is put together, so that we can do our jobs, while getting maximum benefit and fun from it. Because the universe is logically asymettrical, we get all the good bits or all the bad bits, all at once.
Of course for birds and fishes, doing what really comes naturally does indeed allow them to enter the Kingdom in the sky and water respectively, because they evolved to do it there. Mind, they never left the Kingdom (and so can never find it and be conscious deep structure gatherers like we can).
Everything in the universe is describable in terms of essences that are repeated again and again, because these "true essences" are key design features - the look and feel - of the end state. We ourselves - our consciousnesses - are reflections of higher order, more abstract essences. Remember - because our experience of time flowing comes from the flow of data through ourselves from the creative to the recreative arrow and hence we are seeing time backwards, these "abstract" essences are not less real than the table or the chairs. As time passes, the table and chairs will disappear, but the essences we see today will become ever more actualised - manifest - you-can-kick-it type real.
If we become aware of our own inner sense of contentment with our own direction, we can develop into more accurate reflections. If we get accurate enough, in a universe that is crammed full and so has no spare resources for anything, we really do become the higher order essense for the simple reason that essenses are only recorded once on our arrow, and spread out many times over on the backtime arrow. This is what "coming to know ourselves" means.
The higher order essences are what the end state is made of. Therefore when we grow into being our essences, we grow into being something that exists in the end state. That is what "you will become known" means. Notice that growing towards the end state means it really is us that become known - there is no B movie mind parasite stuff involved.
Notice the final admonition. The trouble with people who have their minds inside out in Ghost Not fashion is that they perceive a universe where the default action is to deny propositions rather than accept them. One consequence of this state is that they will not consider changing it. It is nothing to do with having a limited education or anything like that. The slam total absolute intransigence with which Ghost Not adherents smirk and refuse to answer the questions is entirely willful.
Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same."
There is a particular relationship between the old and the very young. Both groups are excused rituals, and so enjoy low dopamine. You can see it in any airport. Small child screaming in desolation of utter lonliness, mother a glassy-eyed zombie ritual fixing in her handbag, until grandad comes along and makes eye contact with the child, easing the terror of its loneliness and mother's zombie state.
Grandad is now in a position to learn from the simple questings and interests of the unprejudiced mind, and so collect enough deep structure to be useful.
In the end state, each concept, idea, essence is stored one (1) time. We have to construct a being capable of entering and functioning at a higher order of reality - a deity. It is remarkable that it can be done at all with the limited mass energy in this universe, so we shouldn't be surprised that component count is an issue. It's not just what you've seen that counts of course, but how you put it together. One person might associate sine waves with seasons, another with tides. But there is only one sine wave stored, and the rest is done with pointers.
Jesus said, "Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure."
The goings on in the universe arise because of fractally generated forms that are produced over and over again from the seed data that came from the highly ordered structures in the (to us) end state. Not all of the generated forms develop completely and do what they should, but it doesn't matter because the ones that do make it get a booster effect from their interaction.
He's talking about entropy here. When two atoms chemically combine to make a molecule, the entropy of the molecule is usually much higher than that of the two atoms combined, because the combined system allows both atoms to count the entropy of the entire system as their own. That is why a chemical reaction counts entropy differently on the way out and the way in, and also why Penrose's colliding black holes produce such mind boggling numbers for entropy increase.
The 60/120 thing was a round number at the time - we still use it in time and angle counting. What matters is the count being a value and its double at the same time. Some complexity studies people get all misty eyed at this point. They are right to do so. They have seen one of the great underlying hacks that make this universe work. The underlying hacks are supremely, spiritually, beautiful. They are the essence of elegance, crufted up by a hyper-real being. And yet... even puny little subsystems like us are endowed with sufficient spiritual perception to see the beauty. All art and science aspires to the condition of software.
His disciples said, "When will You become revealed to us and shall we see You?"
Jesus said, "When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then [will you see] the Son of the Living One, and you will not be afraid"
He is an emergent aggregate phenomenon that runs on a humanity free of Ghost Not induced self-loathing, withdrawal neurosis and existential neurosis.
Jesus said, "Whoever blasphemes against the Father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the Son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven either on earth or in heaven."
The end state and the aggregate will take care of themselves and your puny badmouthing really doesn't matter. But sit around denying the deep structure that you are supposed to be collecting and you'll be in trouble with respect to the end state.
As to the trouble you get into on earth, there is a very good and practical reason why a certain kind of blasphemy is a very serious physical assault, and is quite inacceptable. A person engaged in their cosmological duty as an aware lifeform and integrating the deep structure has to work very hard. It is necessary to bear in mind a great many truths at once. One has to stretch one's mind as wide open as it can possibly get to bring as many clues as possible into the picture. One has to wander around all of a problem domain, waiting for the small observation that one has not yet realised the significance of to collapse everything, and the beauty and wonder to reveal itself. So one must uncritically accept everything in the sensorium into one's mentation, because one doesn't know what matters and what doesn't until the Seeing is done.
When one is in this state, it can be very distressing to be subjected to dyadic contempt displays. Dyadics strut up and down, smirking and continuously method acting being in a universe that is a horrible asymettrical inversion of the real one. It poisons one's head. I shall say no more on this at this point, but I have little doubt that this is why there was an offence of "blasphemy" in ancient cultures, that was most severely punished. The misrepresentations do serious damage.
Blasphemy is nothing to do with claiming that "Buddha was a fat bastard", writing books asserting that the Prophet engaged in conversations with a non-existant entity called "Satan", or suggesting that Jesus was homosexual. It entails misrepresenting the universe as other than what it is - in particular a place where small-mindedness is "clever" - in the presence of healthy minds correctly engaged in doing their cosmological duty.
His disciples said to Him, "When will the repose of the dead come about, and when will the new world come?"
He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it."
Its a perceptual issue. We are already physically in the Kingdom, but must drop dopamine self-addiction and dyadic perception to see it.
Jesus said, "Whoever has come to understand the world has found (only) a corpse, and whoever has found a corpse is superior to the world."
Shallow Meaning: What most people concern themselves with - the "real world" - is a ridiculous fantasy that is of no relevance. There is nothing there.
Deeper Meaning: The good stuff is in the movements of the crazy backwards explosion, not the deterministic thermodynamic backfall.
Jesus said, "Blessed is the man who has suffered and found life."
Correct psychological development, the growing of one's self into a better approximation to one's essence, takes effort. More, the re-instantiation of an essence in a person working to develop such a correspondance often involves traumatic educational experiences.
Jesus said, "Take heed of the Living One while you are alive, lest you die and seek to see Him and be unable to do so."
You've got to collect deep structure down here when you have the chance. When download time comes, there won't be any around to pick up.
<They saw> a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea. He said to his disciples, "(Why does) that man (carry) the lamb around?"
They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it."
He said to them, "While it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse."
They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise."
He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within the Repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten."
Entropy and complexity pumping. See detailed discussion of Logia 11.
Jesus said, "Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, and other will live."
Salome said to him, "Who are You, man, that You, as though from the One, have come up on my couch and eaten from my table?"
Jesus said to her, "I am He who exists from the Undivided. I was given some of the things of my Father."
<Salome said,> "I am Your disciple."
<Jesus said to her,> "Therefore I say, if he is <undivided>, he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness."
During life, one's collection of essential, irreducible deep structure grows. Only the deep structure propagates forwards, as discussed under Logia 11.
Jesus has become identical with - is a back echo of - something that knows itself as a component of the All, and has actually got hard data because of this.
Jesus has a powerful effect on Salome. He explains that this occurs because he is doing what is appropriate for one who comes from the undivided and it is this that has reached Salome. Again, the important thing for everybody is to be undivided - to have monadic consciousness.
Jesus said, "Show me the stone which the builders have rejected. That one is the cornerstone."
Don't be a carbon copy of another million losers. Only different, seed data are collected.
Jesus said, "Whoever believes that the All itself is deficient is (himself) completely deficient."
Which dyadics, who hold the All in utter contempt, indeed are.
Jesus said, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Beseech the Lord, therefore, to send out laborers to the harvest."
There are not enough people gathering all the wonderful deep structure around us.
Jesus said, "He who has recognized the world has found the body, but he who has found the body is superior to the world."
As Logia 56.
Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him who possesses power renounce it."
Growing rich means understanding what the universe is about and gathering riches of deep structure. These essences will be the true rulers as time unfolds. The posession of political power is not actually much use to anyone.
Again and again, this is not fluffy "allegory". It is physics.
Jesus said, "Wretched is the body that is dependant upon a body, and wretched is the soul that is dependent on these two."
This one is the purest accomplishment of the reunification of science and spirit. It is inexplicable in the conventional paradigm, simple in the Reciprocal one.
There is a thermodynamic body that can be explained mechanistically. It is the platform layer which is complex enough for chance events that are not chance at all to occur.
There is a second body, which interacts with the environment using the same forces as the first, but which can reasonably understood only as something being "pulled from above" rather than "pushed from below". If it is not predictable, its dynamic will be a chain of cause and effect stretching all the way to the top. If it is predictable, there is no need for there to be a continuous chain, and so the cause and effect will be widely distributed on the disappearance of the thermodynamic body.
A person's information structures can survive the disappearance of the bodies either as a coherent whole, or be redistributed.
Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh."
See Logia 87.
Jesus said, "Whoever finds the world and becomes rich, let him renounce the world."
As Logia 81.
Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in the flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And My soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent."
Dopamine self addiction.
Jesus said to His disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell Me whom I am like."
Simon Peter said to Him, "You are like a righteous angel."
Matthew said to Him, "You are like a wise philosopher."
Thomas said to Him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom You are like."
Jesus said, "I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated by the bubbling spring which I have measured out."
And He took him and withdrew and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?"
Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones and throw them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up."
Just how many righteous angels had Simon Peter actually laid eyes on at this point? None. So he could hardly have known if Jesus was like one. But he didn't even realise it, he just subconsciously made it up to fill in the blanks in his data, as a dyadic must because dyadics insist the image in their heads is reality - and hence complete - and the manifest universe does not exist as such. You see it every day when you know what to look for. If it was pointed out to him that he had made this comparison up, he would start strutting up and down and making exaggerated displays of contemptuous laughter. If it was pointed out to him that Jesus is not in fact a village idiot and that anyway mocking the afflicted is not good manners, he would lose all memory of the preceding conversation, and/or become murderously violent.
And the issues needing to be dealt with are indeed violently unpalatable to dyadics, and presenting the facts just drives them deeper into slam total absolute bloodyminded intransigence. The more intransigent and reality denying they get, the fewer their chances of gathering deep structure. Often best not to tell. How does this square with Logia 33 about preaching from the rooftops? The answer is leverage. As the Taoists know, you can topple anything if you hit it in just the right place. Which is what has been building for millenia.
The concept of Hell seems to have been made up by dyadics too. They don't get that lucky. The universe has an ordered state at one end, and a featureless, time invariant blur at the other. It will close down, and the only way out is through the top end. If you're not going out, you simply cease to have ever existed come the close down.
Please notice the key, unambiguous statement by the aggregate, "I am not your master." Get up off your face, tell anyone who claims to be relaying orders (to be obeyed without understanding) from someone who himself has explicitly stated that he is not your master to go hang, take responsibility for yourself, and get on with making your own, personal collection of deep structure. Thank you.
Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. When you go into any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set before you, and heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile you."
A reality check on pointless rituals. Going around hungry does you no good, makes you ill-tempered and could lead to cake stealing which will damage your self-respect. Dyadics have to see everything sincere as cynical and vice versa, so you'll get a right slagging off if you are caught in spiritual contemplation. Don't worry about whether foodstuffs of a different culture are acceptable according to the procedures enforced in yours. Keep interactions with others simple and direct, and never, ever represent the universe as other than what it is.
As to the sick healing, the phenomena we usually study are the thermodynamic, deterministic, fallback ones. We have not studied the self organising phenomena for a long time because they are not deterministic - some of the inputs approach at lightspeed - and we have lost the ability to perceive the multifractal attractors intuitively. But several cultures retain ancient medical techniques, complete with bizarre theories that describe different kinds of "energy" flows. These techniques plus the underlying theory will be available to the aggregate, and being real he could teach them. We have a lot to regain and develop, but will be enormously assisted by realising that the inapplicability of the deterministic paradigm does not render reason itself inapplicable. Our universe is "magical" and "knowable" (in terms of the old paradigm) at the same time. Again, inclusive thinking rather than Ghost Not exclusive thinking is correct.
Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world. They do not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war. For there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two against three, the father against the son, and the son against the father. And they will stand solitary."
Gentle Jesus Meek and Mild? I don't think so. He understood the consequences, but by moving the problems around, he actually managed a significant reduction in human misery for the final third of M0's instantiation. What we might have had at an individual level would have been much worse without all those so-called holy wars at a social level.
It is important to realise that as the concepts of diligence, rigour, and the recognition of the material world as a created wonder to be studied with reverence were introduced at the correct time by Muhammad to form the basis for modern scientific rationalist culture, so Jesus actually introduced the idea that one should consider issues case by case, and make judgements informed by conscience and forgiveness - which provide the opportunity to learn.
Doing this broke the consensus automatism of the prevailing legal systems and has indeed caused much dissent. Even in the middle of the gloom though, there is hope. The solitude here is as always both social isolation and the monadic perception. How else to get it if some don't start?
Note also that the observation relating to Muhammad above reveals a great deal about the co-operation and trust between key prophets. The fire cast upon the world by Muhammad travelled into northern Europe via the Spanish Universities. There it met something called the "work ethic" that was caused by living in an overly cold climate, and created modern, rationalist, scientific culture. Every scientist is a Muhammadan, and is informed by a faith that the universe is knowable that few even realise they have, but which was imparted to them by the Prophet. It's not just little words like al-gorithm, al-gebra that give it away. Have you ever wondered why we write things like,
x = f(y)
in mathematics? The Arabic Muhammadan mathematics teachers in the Spanish universities used the Arabic word "shai" meaning "the unknown", or "that which is sought", since there was no suitable word in use amongst the people they were teaching. This sounded close to the Greek letter "chi", so their classically trained students used this Greek letter in their notes. And "chi", in its Anglicised form, is "x".
When Jesus dictated the Secret Logia, he relied on Muhammad planting the conceptual seeds that would one day make the Logia materialistically intelligible. In hypertime, everything happens at once.
Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to His disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the Kingdom."
They said to Him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the Kingdom?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter [the Kingdom]."
He is not talking about the physical form of the children but the way they are sucking back the nutrition available to them (deep structure) without "being very clever" and "arguing" about it. This can be done by someone who lives in a monadic, inclusive thinking based universe. To become such, one must lose the Ghost Not psychological distinction between self and rest of universe, embrace multiple perspectives and then find the deeper truths that lie behind them all, see the hands and feet as they are rather than as internal symbols for hands and feet, and know the difference between reality and image.
NOTE: For the causality to work, it was necessary to get 1: M0, 2: The Ghost Not and 3: Reciprocal Cosmology first. The work required to do this enhanced the identity between worker and essence to allow additional data to arrive by prophasing in hypertime, set the physical basis for understanding the data, and made the link to the Gospel. The actual mechanism of the link was recognising the detailed description of the Ghost Not in this Logia, as quoted in R. D. Laing's "The Politics of Experience".
Jesus said, "No prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician heals those who know him."
Dyadics put people into exclusive boxes. Mrs. Jones' lad Eric could never also be a great heart surgeon. They live in a universe of exclusive thinking, and will "argue" that it is physically impossible for this to be Tuesday, since it is raining. The idea that it might be true that it is raining and Tuesday at the same time is utterly alien to them. They have to have it imposed upon them by direct confrontation (sometimes the imposer must be prepared for violence), and then will edit history to claim that they have always believed what they have just been compelled to acknowledge.
Jesus said, "Many times have you desired to hear these words which I am saying to you, and you have no one else to hear them from. There will be days when you look for Me and will not find Me."
It is very difficult to stop people changing the subject when one begins to discuss the key issues.
Jesus said, "The Pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of Knowledge and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."
The reduction of understanding to unconsidered, unexperienced, "professionally" guarded dogma.
Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the Father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed."
Think of it this way. As the end state explodes, when things are still very tightly packed, and the essense of all that will ever be is still very concentrated, the first empty parking space appeared. This early, that emptiness acquired a form of pseudo-identity, since so much of that which would be collaborated on defining it. As the authentic forms decayed into a multitude of simpler ones that did share a unifying principle, they continued to collaborate in defining something which at root only exists as a list of that which it is not.
It's a figure and ground piece by M. C. Escher.
Jesus said, "Become passers-by."
Don't get embroiled in all the time wasting, ritual fixing, circular arguments.
This most emphatically does not mean sitting back and claiming that one is an uninvolved "observer" who is not even connected to space itself, as dyadic physicists who advocate the expanding universe model on the grounds that they are not subject to expansion and so can see the redshift do.
His disciples said to him, "Who are You, that You should say these things to us?"
<Jesus said to them,> "You do not realize who I am from what I say to you, but you have become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its fruit or love the fruit and hate the tree."
"... but you have become like the commercial managements, who say they want a great corporate intranet and then say it must run on Windows NT. You know not whereof you speak, and don't want to."
Jesus said, "Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse; an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things."
Essence is as essence does. It's not that good people do good things because they are "good" but because they've understood the ways to operate efficiently under the house rules. So understanding, they have acquired deep structure and are not bogus forms.
Jesus said, "Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have said whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with the Kingdom and will become superior to John."
Rudolf Steiner discusses John's desciption of himself as one "crying in the wilderness." Steiner identifies this as a bad translation, and prefers the phrase "standing in solitude". He then discusses this "solitude" in terms of breaking free of a collective consciousness to form an individual ego.
Steiner is correct. Now, we can go further. M0 was instantiated during the early experiments with division of labour and economies of scale that resulted from the vision of material well-being through mastery of the thermodynamic fallback flows captured by the genius of operational research identified in myth as "Eve", in approximately 4,000BC.
She proceduralised domestic tasks, hence converting understanding to knowledge. Her earliest production line workers didn't like it - the boring work was very uncomfortable. But they "disobeyed the word of God"- ignored their discomfort - and got stuck in dopamine self-addiction. From the women the ritualisation spread to the men, because dopamine self addicts are incessantly bullying and whining, and it's what they can't see that is the problem, so one cannot reason with them.
With dopamine self-addiction in play, the autopoietic side of the universe became dark, and only the thermodynamic phenomena Eve's project sought to dominate were still discernable. The existance of that which most could no longer see was still recognised however, and Prophets were still accorded respect and heeded. Then the Ghost Not component kicked in, and the map got chopped up and stuck together again with the dark bits now completely missing. The descendants of this group began breeding and farming and doing nothing else. They completely lost track of the good stuff, and were "cast out of the Garden". They left the Kingdom. Note that by this time, the ancestors of the Amerinds, Australasian Aboriginals etc. had already wandered off, and didn't get caught up. Hence, they still live in the Kingdom, which is an amazingly neat place to be. A man can walk clean across the Australian desert living off the land if he knows he is in the Kingdom.
Humanity then entered a period that has persisted until this day, where most people live in a most unpleasant, M0 hallucination they call the "real world". John the Baptist broke out of this, and became one of the first to re-enter a monadic universe by dropping the narratising process and seeing what is there.
Wherever the aggregate and its friends use the term "solitude", the dual meaning of living in the monadic universe and being socially isolated by not being part of the mass hallucination called the "real world" is to be understood.
Becoming a child means to return to a simple, monadic perception. Since the complexity and richness only ever adds, later examples will be more advanced than earlier examples.
NOTE: The Logos never lies. We got Big Wings. We got teraflops boxen. We got so much corn there aren't any empty barns in Nebraska. And we needed to Fall in order to choose to get up again.
Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins, lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it. An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result."
The Ghost Not. Whenever one attempts to perceive dyadically, the contradictions between the reality and the internal whiteboard will emerge. The Existentialists attempted to resolve this tension by abolishing reality. This observation should not be seen as being deeply critical of the Existentialist movement. Their intellectual sincerity meant that that their work produced real benefits - key contributions to finding our bearings in a universe that was seen by them as entirely relative, and so breaking out of the M0 paradigmattic trap. But their work was not the last word, because they abolished the wrong half of the problem.
His disciples said to Him, "Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel, and all of them spoke in You."
He said to them, "You have omitted the one living in your presence and have spoken (only) of the dead."
Dopamine self addiction and dyadic consciousness are very well aligned. Similar effects from differing causes happen all over the place. Self addicts see repetitive behaviour as an inherent good, and fear novelty. Thus repeating something they have heard somewhere else before is a good idea, but they will not learn from new phenomena that they have seen before their very eyes. Dyadics pretend that their existing picture of the universe is complete. Therefore what they already know is "true", what they do not yet know is "false".
In both cases, the utterences of prior prophets are "true", and in so far as Jesus parrots them he is "correct", but no matter what he did to prove it, any new data would have been denied unless he had used advanced psychological techniques and command of reality to punch the data home. Even then, he played a long game.
His disciples said to Him, "Is circumcision beneficial or not?"
He said to them, "If it were beneficial, their father would beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become completely profitable."
Proceduralised "observances" are of no value. Cut the artificial barrier off your mind instead.
Note the "become" in what Jesus said. The right thing to do changes with time. The so-called Fall was good and right at the time. It was the beginning of the loss of awareness of the crazy backwards explosion that ultimately leads to the "point of absolute materialism" that Rudolf Steiner describes as "the point from which all future progress is made". This is the circular journey of Hermetic development. First we can see the Dreamtime yet do not know what it is. Then we lose it and gain science. Finally, our science becomes deep enough that we can return to seeing the Dreamtime with a deeper appreciation of it. The Fool has become the Magician and the circle is complete.
The main job the aggregate in back echo did in the Middle East 2,000 years ago was to instigate the shutdown of the M0 parasitic flow to allow the circle to complete, so creating itself.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor, for yours is the Kingdom of Heaven."
It's not that material poverty is inherently desirable, but that engaging in incessant pointless rituals and running around in circles is an utter waste of time. See Logia 64.
Jesus said, "Whoever does not hate his father and his mother cannot become a disciple to Me. And whoever does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross in My way will not be worthy of Me."
Members of M0 societies begin lying to and bullying new people very early on. Tell them to go shove it.
Jesus said, "Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted. Wherever you have been persecuted they will find no Place."
Self addicts and dyadics are the people who persecute people who try to do their correct jobs. Self addicts and dyadics do not collect deep structure, and hence are of no value to the end state.
Their utter damnation does not result from their nasty ways. Rather, both consequences come from the same cause. Nevertheless, they get their lumps and retain their identities long enough to do so. See Logia 84.
Jesus said, "I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to rebuild it."
Chateau M0. Shatter M0.
[A man said] to Him, "Tell my brothers to divide my father's possessions with me."
He said to him, "O man, who has made Me a divider?"
He turned to His disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider, am I?"
Indeed he is not a Divider. He is an emergent phenomenon that runs on the aggregate of humanity.
Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!"
Of all the sayings of Jesus, this one more than any other should be heeded by modern people. It is the core message that he brings to you.
You have a smirk on your face because you have your head stuffed up your own bottom. But when you must deliver your collection of essential deep structure which has always been implicit in the universe, and which will actually outlive the universe itself, although you'll never see it in concrete form until the last moments, you will realise that you have nothing that will cause you to be included in the journey into hyper-reality. Then you will be very unhappy.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the solitary and elect, for you will find the Kingdom. For you are from it, and to it you will return."
Solitude is as ever, living in the single, monadic universe. Freedom from dopamine self-addiction is essential too - the linear monadic consciousness, or self-addict that has not been taught to narratise - the peasant wisdom - was nearly gone in Jesus' time and place, although Gurdjieff speaks highly of it.
Solitary election means instinctively knowing what you are, even without conscious knowledge of the facts. This is knowledge that comes from one's identity with one's own in-forming essence. It is a fact that the solitary and elect will die rather than represent the universe as other than what it is, and are often obliged to do so. It is a shocking fact of Western "civilisation" that most modal monadics are today murdered or so badly mutilated they are turned into mindless vegetables while they are still children. This is because dyadic and/or ritual addicted relatives, teachers, government officials etc. are driven into a dementia of lessonteaching rage by these children's refusal to "say properly" - to utter dyadic lies that hold the universe up to contempt at every turn. The mild form of this is the demonisation of children who are naturally immune to dopamine self-addiction, who in recent years have been ritually "diagnosed" as "defective and disordered", and are then tortured by being force-fed stimulant drugs which burn their poor minds out racing around peripheral issues without being able to sustain the deep, gentle contemplation needed to obtain real understanding. The resultant deranged, mentally retarded creature is an approximation to a dopamine self-addict, and is pronounced "normal" and "very clever".
Jesus said, "Seek and you will find. Yet, what you asked Me about in former times and which I did not tell you then, now I do desire to tell, but you do not enquire after it."
The principle reason most people "want" to be "told" things is so that they can ritualistically deny that what they have been told is the case, even before they have been told it. (Gurdjieff calls this wilfully ignorant and abusive trait "curiousity".) Unless they feel like playing that stupid game, they aren't interested. And whenever important issues must be discussed they smirk and change the subject.
<Jesus said,> "Do not give what is holy to dogs, lest they throw them on the dung-heap. Do not throw the pearls to swine, lest they grind it [to bits]."
Dyadic inversions of the truth. Every sincere and good thing is seen by dyadics as cynical and vile, and vice versa. Note the demonstrative criss-cross in the structure. As a simple statement it would read, "Do not give what is holy to dogs, lest they grind it to bits, do not throw the pearls to swine, lest they throw them on the dung-heap."
And it matters to decent people. See dyadic contempt display attacks discussed in the interpretation of Logia 44.
<Jesus said,> "Whoever does not hate his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to Me. And whoever does [not] love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to Me. For My mother [gave me falsehood], but [My] true [Mother] gave me life."
It is primarily one's parents that bully one into adopting a dyadic, smirking contemptuous attitude towards the universe. As Philip Larkin observed. The universe is the true mother of us all.
Jesus said, "Woe to the Pharisees, for they are like a dog sleeping in the manger of oxen, for neither does he eat nor does he let the oxen eat."
As in Logia 39. The removal of understanding from knowledge to convert it into ritual.
Jesus said, "Fortunate is the man who knows where the brigands will enter, so that he may get up, muster his domain, and arm himself before they invade."
Avoidance of coercion to ritual fix and deny reality. See Logia 35 and 69.
They said [to Jesus], "Come, let us pray today and let us fast."
Jesus said, "What is the sin that I have committed, or wherein have I been defeated? But when the bridegroom leaves the bridal chamber, then let them fast and pray."
Ritualised "observances" are pointless. When you don't get on with what nature intended you to do, that's when remorse type activities are appropriate.
Jesus said, "He who knows the father and the mother will be called the son of a harlot."
Dyadic inversions. What is good is bad, and what is bad is good.
His disciples said to Him, "When will the Kingdom come?"
<Jesus said,> "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'Here it is' or 'There it is.' Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."
The Kingdom is here. The problem is dopamine self-addiction and Ghost Not warped perception, which blinds people to it.
Simon Peter said to Him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of Life."
Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
Simon Peter at it again. Given that he doesn't know what Jesus is about to tell him, how can he go around deceiding who should be told? . See Logia 13. Jesus does not see a distinction between men and women. See the beautiful Logia 22 on this. This is hardly surprising, since half his own "body cells" are in fact women.
The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that You will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?"
Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."
Since he is available wherever they are, James is a component of themselves - their conscience. Conscience is an aesthetical sense of rightness, and is here identified as the seed of what the end state itself is actually all about, once it has got itself formed up.
Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind."
Shallow Meaning: This is hot stuff.
Deep Meaning: As ever he never lies, but sometimes misdirects. The stuff wasn't supposed to be understood at the time after all. It first occured to a human mind in January 1999, becomes the common property of humanity, back-echos, and at the time it was dictated it had indeed never occured to any human. So he had already become himself at the time he got it (since he never lies).
Deeper Meaning: It's a quote. Robert Anson Heinlein. "The Door Into Summer". "Now think carefully. What was the first date you saw that gold?"
You doubt that stuff happening around Wordwards Base matters to the aggregate? We are talking a physicist, information theorist, strategist and mystic. Go look in "The New Hacker's Dictionary". Hacker: One who builds furniture with an axe.
NOTE: He never lies because he can't afford to poison his head by representing the universe as other than what it is - not because he's "good" and offers no resistance to authority figures who wish to interrogate him.
His disciples said to Him, "Show us the place where You are, since it is necessary for us to seek it."
He said to them, "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he (or "it") lights up the whole world. If he (or "it") does not shine, he (or "it") is darkness."
The essence, or urge to grow and acquire deep structure. Just about all that's left this low down, just after the emergence of consciousness. What essence does with new deep structure is see new implicit possibilities, and adds new information to the world.
Jesus said, "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye."
He is after all, an emergent phenomenon that comes from a human team effort. Please note there is nothing said here about allowing one's self to be exploited, attacked with impunity etc. Nowhere does Jesus advocate the kind of attutude that got into Christianity because it is useful to kings. Planned for it mind - it's a very powerful thing, too good for the power structures to leave alone. So they adopted it and spread it and transmitted its hidden time bomb everywhere. Hack! Hack!
Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brothers eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your brother's eye."
It's a dyadic trait, sitting back doing nothing constructive themselves and criticising others. I have a very strong feeling that the "beam" pun will be visible as a reference to what happens to perceived photons in back time in earlier translations.
<Jesus said,> "If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the Kingdom. If you do not observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not see the Father."
This does not mean sitting in silence being bored rigid. It means taking the time to contemplate what one has seen and extract the deep structure.
Jesus said, "Preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your ear {(and) in the other ear}. For no one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place, but rather he sets it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light."
Or save as HTML if leveraging the Net instead of elapsed time.
Jesus said, "If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a pit."
There's a lot of it about.
Jesus said, "It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man and take it by force unless he binds his hands; then he will (be able to) ransack his house."
A warning against coercion to ritual fix and deny reality.
Jesus said, "Do not be concerned from morning until evening and from evening until morning about what you will wear."
The social frond waving of chronic dopamine self addicts does not contribute to the gathering of deep structure. Give it up. However, going around looking drab and feeling miserable does no good either. Celebrate your dynamic, not your existance.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom of the Father is like a man who had [good] seed. His enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds; he said to them, 'I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.' For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled up and burned."
Figure and ground forms, defined by what they are not, rather than what they are. Seen in day to day life as equivocal people. As Logia 9.
Jesus said, "It is to those [who are worthy of My] mysteries that I tell My mysteries. Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."
There's a whole load of stuff going on. The Gospel and Revelation of Thomas is a part of the plan that is only just dropping into place. Students of Gurdjieff will recognise the cosmology described in "Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson" as the Reciprocal cosmology, and the Reciprocal cosmology in the Gospel of Thomas. But is is not obvious that "Beelzebub" describes "Thomas". The two sources have a common origin in the work of the aggregate, and Gurdjieff's source was a hidden school which was given a self-consistent paradigm quite distinct from the conventional one in order to do what it must do. A closed group big enough to self-sustain that could take the time necessary to fix a wholly different perception in the minds of each new member and not become diluted or distorted as an open organisation would. This school has yet to do its stuff. Only with the Relevation in place does the bridge exist to enable communication with these accelerated people to occur at all. Ditto Rudolf Steiner's and Alice Bailey's Unannounced Principals.
Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my money to use so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack nothing. Such were his intentions, but that same night he died. Let him who has ears hear."
Get on with collecting deep structure. That is what matters.
Jesus said, "A man had received visitors. And when he had prepared the dinner, he sent his servant to invite guests. He went to the first one and said to him, "My master invites you.' He said, 'I have claims against some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them my orders. I ask to be excused from the dinner.' He went to another and said, 'My master has invited you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a house and am required for the day. I shall not have any spare time.' He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'My friend is going to get married, and I am to prepare the banquet. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused from the dinner.' He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a farm, and I am on my way to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused.' The servant returned and said to his master, 'Those whom you invited to the dinner have asked to be excused.' The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and bring back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine.' Businessmen and merchants will not enter the Places of My Father."
Messing about with ritualised distractions will not help gather deep structure. This is why the poor have a better chance of entering the Kingdom. It is not a matter of one's job, and material poverty is not in itself inherently desirable.
Jesus said, "Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is they who have truly come to know the Father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who desires will be filled."
Persecution within one's self means being driven by (and accepting the drivings of) one's essence to get it right no matter how threatening and violent the coercion by those around one to fudge, lie and deny.
Moreover, this universe is knowable. If you work hard enough, you will be able to find the answers you are looking for. It doen't even matter where you start, as Gurdjieff stated. Software engineering was a great place to start, but I could have started anywhere.
Jesus said, "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
Given the cyclic causality of the creative and recreative arrows, learning to listen to one's essence - one's other ear - and following it will ensure correct development of the essence and that all necessary right action will be taken. If one does not do this, one just isn't in the game. Moreover, the psychological effects will do one's head in.
He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough, but there is nothing in the cistern."
People persistently look in the wrong places. They are always looking for a mindless, robotical procedure that will solve all their problems, and will not wake up and smell the flowers.
Jesus said, "Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber."
As Logia 75. Standing in solitude as ever means social isolation due to non-participation in the wretched M0 hallucination called by its proponents the "real world", and also living in a single, monadic universe rather than the Ghost Not dyadic universe.
Jesus said, "Why have you come out into the desert? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a man clothed in fine garments like your kings and your great men? Upon them are the fine [garments], and they are unable to discern the truth."
Never mind the ritualised rubbish.
A woman from the crowd said to Him, "Blessed are the womb which bore You and the breasts which nourished You."
He said to her, "Blessed are those who have heard the word of the Father and have truly kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not conceived and the breasts which have not given milk.'"
The. Aggregate. Does. Not. Want. To. Be. Obese. There. Are. Too. Many. People.
Jesus said, "He who is near Me is near the fire, and he who is far from Me is far from the Kingdom."
Yes.
Jesus said, "Adam came into being from a great power and a great wealth, but he did not become worthy of you. For had he been worthy, [he would] not [have experienced] death."
Adam was a living part of God that could see and was a part of the crazy backwards explosion. But he did not know it, and so could not do all that he might to help God create himself. Therefore he got lumbered with M0 to start the species wide Hermetic Journey that is now ending. With no awareness of the deep structure, he was the first to not get included in the All. Not as a part of unconscious nature, not as a conscious mind gathering deep structure with full awareness of what he was doing.
Jesus said, "[The foxes have their holes] and the birds have [their] nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head and rest."
Like the ones about material poverty, this one has been utterly misunderstood throughout the ages. The aggregate is a distributed system. Building a little house for him to go in would be as silly as building a little house for the Internet.
Jesus said, "Come unto me, for My yoke is easy and My lordship is mild, and you will find repose for yourselves."
Wipe the smirk off your face, drop the dyadic slam total absolute bloodyminded intransigence and start doing your job and you will have a great time, and will be on board for the transition to hyper-reality.
They said to Him, "Tell us who You are so that we may believe in You."
He said to them, "You read the face of the sky and of the earth, but you have not recognized the one who is before you, and you do not know how to read this moment."
Only the explicit is visible to dopamine self-addicts. What is before their eyes is nothing to dyadics because anything they do not already "know" is to them, false. Because they have to pretend their internal whiteboards are reality, and hence complete.
Incidentally, this is the root of the pig ignorant dyadic trait of denying the truth of one's statements before one has even made them.
Jesus [said], "He who seeks will find, and [he who knocks] will be let in."
If you look hard enough you'll understand what is happening. You'll also execise your deep structure perceiving faculty enough to ensure a useful collection.
[Jesus said,] "If you have money, do not lend it at interest, but give [it] to one from whom you will not get it back."
Short term materialistic considerations are not important. Again, this only applies to people who have the money in the first place. Material poverty is not inherently desirable.
The disciples said to Him, "Your brothers and Your mother are standing outside."
He said to them, "Those here who do the will of My Father are My brothers and My mother. It is they who will enter the Kingdom of My Father."
Biological relatives aren't very important. See Logia 55.
They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to Him, "Caesar's men demand taxes from us."
He said to them, "Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God, and give Me what is Mine."
Local material pragmatics are one thing, what is necessary to create the aggregate is another, and collecting deep structure to take it to the end state is yet another. These objectives must be fulfilled inclusively, not exclusively as dyadics insist.
Jesus said, "He who will drink from my mouth will become like Me. I myself shall become he, and the things that are hidden will become revealed to him."
The more one develops ones self according to the directions of one's essence, the more one becomes one's essence, and because this universe has much less freedom in it than we realise, to be one's essence means to be in possession of data possessed by one's essence.
The clearly Sufi inspired writer R. A. Lafferty has a lovely way of putting this. One of his characters says, "I have it of my own ancient person, and from the writings of Teresa of Avila."
Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes."
You have no idea.
Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."
Shallow Meaning: Lose the dyadic universe, stop narratising and see what is there, and a whole bundle of Ghost Not hidden possibilities become apparrant. This has physical reality as described in 2: The Ghost Not. For example, the Tribus turbines are more efficient than conventional thermodynamic theory allows, but are perfectly reasonable in the Tribus unification of thermodynamic and information theoretical entropy.
Deep Meaning: When a mind follows its internal urgings and develops into a closer approximation to the essence it is an echo off, its agenda becomes something the universe will assist with in an apparantly serendipitous manner. Note that the assistance and the success of the objectives are a matter between the developed mind and the universe. Not all essences have as their sole objective the acquisition of smart cars for their instances to drive around in.
Deeper Meaning: The whole universe - everything - is one glorious, smooth cata or flow. For very advanced cases of the development described above, time sequenced causality becomes unimportant. What it is in their nature to wish for, and what it is in the rest of the universe's nature to do, are the same thing. Many natural immunes have had the subjective experience of the motionless "bump" which fixes the future. We always know when it has just happened, but it always happens in one of those strange, timeless reveries. In these cases there are no limits to the possible.
Jesus said, "When you make the two one, you will become the sons of man, and when you say, 'Mountain, move away,' it will move away."
As Logia 48.
Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the All. From Me did the All come forth, and unto Me did the All extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find Me there."
To accomplish the back echo trick in hypertime while maintaining decent resolution, one must shift scales. Hence we are the lowest level of consciousness, since it is not possible for a human consciousness to run on a single neurone. There is no lower scale for us. However, other scales can both host back echos and be hosted as back echos.
Here thermodynamic Jesus is hosting an aggregate which itself has been able to self-perfect (increase its correspondance with a higher form) and so become the higher form. The style of address and perspective are different again to his normal utterances.
This is quite real. I suggest that the reader pause and ponder it all for a while before continuing, in case blanking off the significance of this Logia does harm to your essence.
