Meso: Science & The Living Force

The Living Force

““There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity." - Rod S.

“THE BEWITCHING POOL”

“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call… the Twilight Zone.” - opening narration from the 1959 season of the television series The Twilight Zone…

Picture a black & white television. On the screen a field of stars appear from spindly threaded mist as a gentle harp tickles a twinkling mysterious melody with a slightly haunted oboe taking over from the gray behind, leading to a sudden valley of a bassoon crescendo, then a distinct sound of the confident earthy punctuated diction of Capricornean Rod Serling in your mental ear, echoing my following narration…

“TO SERVE MAN”

Each of the section headings in quotations in this article is the title of a Twilight Zone episode which in some way pertains to the topic of the paragraph; I have also sprinkled various quoted narrations throughout. Here we find ourselves, somewhere in the midriff of another story, a story being told by the cosmos, one of confrontation and collaboration of the energetic and physical realities. This is the domain where verbs must decelerate, regulate, and navigate to become nouns. Conversely, this is the kingdom of particles, where the simplest of objects evolve into the most complex beings, in order for the cosmos to fully experience and understand itself. Since this is a short piece, this will be more like astrological finger food, or at least vibrational breadcrumbs. I do hope you will remain open-minded and use what you already know about energy, light, space, time and the structures of astrology to form your opinions. I will not try to either persuade you towards one way of thinking or dissuade you from another. I believe that we each should have the inherent non-negotiable right to decide what one puts inside their minds, and freedom of personal action without pressure, coercions or collusions. But I will say that all is not what it seems in the world of hierarchical science - as astrologers we should already know this all too well. And that is were we will begin…

“THE OBSOLETE MAN”

A Scientific Case Against the Scientificness of Science

“Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons… when it enslaves millions but convinces nobody. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under "M" for “Mankind”.

Enantiodromia:the tendency for something to evolve and change into itsopposite,a governing principle of the energetic cycles of nature.I will point out the obvious -present-day‘science’ is fundamentally flawed - plain and simple.(In your face Richard Dawkins, Bill Nye, Neil deGras Tyson and other ‘bishops of science’ for laughing off astrology.)Despite what one may think aboutacademic rigorand thescientific method,the contemporary ‘institution of science’ is egoically impaired and counter-factual at the foundational level. When you build your house of knowledge on sand, it will eventually erode away and collapse into the void of ignorance. In a 2005 published paper entitledWhy Most Published Research Findings Are False, by John Ioannidis, physician-scientist and professor at Stanford University, it was shown that just short of one-third ofALLpublished research is wrong, even with the system working optimally, and that the problem only gets worse from there. In 2011, this lead researchers to take a look at past landmark areas of research in order to estimate the severity of the problem withThe Reproducibility Project

“STATIC”

In 1944, physicist Erwin Schrödinger published his book, What is Life: The Physical Aspect of Living Cells, in which he posed the question of how a particle transaction at the atomic level, being seemingly directed by the laws of quantum mechanics, could alter the molecular structure of a gene, and ultimately cause a mutation in a living organism. Schrödinger postulated that genes were comparable to ‘aperiodic crystals’, specific non-randomized atomic arrangements without a regular repeating structure, unlike that of periodic crystalline solids. You can picture this in your head with the double helix and its twisting genes, composed of complex information sequences, A, C, G, T and also, U - the five nucleobases (which correspond closely to the four classical elements and the æther); these bases comprise DNA & RNA (which roughly correspond to day/night or upper/lower domains). This puzzling quantum question was more of a wedding offering, open for the right partner to Delbrück’s informational school of genetics. A bit of a shotgun wedding was soon to take place with the structural school of crystallography…

“They say a dream takes only a second or so, and yet in that second a man can live a lifetime. He can suffer and die, and who's to say which is the greater reality: the one we know or the one in dreams, between heaven, the sky, the earth - in the Twilight Zone.”

“NUMBER 12 LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU”

For those newer astrologers, or any seasoned astrologers, who may not have encountered astrological physiognomy, I just want to give it a brief mention here. There is a small field of astrological research which deals with facial and physical trait similarities among planetary placements and aspects. This is not a new idea and its roots in the West are actually older than horoscopic astrology. I have hypothesized that the zodiacal bio-cell salts contribute to the fetal development and chemical bio-availability in early childhood; another link to the astro-biomineral domains. I’ve previously written an introductory article for OPA on this subject entitled “Zodiac Faces” in the Fall 2018 edition, page 54, I would suggest giving it a read.

“The controls of life are structured as forms and nuclear arrangements, in a relation with the motions of the Universe”

–Louis Pasteur, Pioneer of Pasteurization

The (Ir)Reproducibility Crisis

It has now become quite apparent, even to most scientists, that the overall ‘research methods’ of science are not as sound they may seem. In the last few years the failure to replicate past studies has lead to the reproducibility crises in scientific research. One facet of the Reproducibility Project replicated 53 ‘major landmark studies’ in the area of cancer research. Working closely with the original research authors, they were only able to reproduce 6 of the studies with any p-value significance. (Now 47 of those ‘landmark cancer studies’ are considered irrelevant, yet, since the professional scientific and medical journals do not publish replicated studies and rarely publish negative results, the public misinformation remains as ‘fact’.) Out of 100 important psychology studies which were repeated, 63 failed to produce the original conclusions; and of the 36 that did, the strength of the results were less than half of what was originally reported. The project then gave twenty-nine different research groups identical data for analysis and interpretation of results. Using the same information, some of the independent research faculties found that there were no significant results to consider, while others found that the results concluded were three times the amount of what was mathematically expected by chance. The interpretation of identical data varied widely according to each research group.

Needless to say, controversies in mainstream science are mounting, primarily because there are key missing ingredients for life and to the codes for unlocking the gateways from the inorganic to the organic realms, the philosopher’s stone of material existence. “If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.”, Richard Feynman supposedly once quipped. Or, maybe you do get it - intuitively? He was not simply referring to how it works but what it means to us – our ability to accept this next level of information, and how it pertains to life patterns and processes. I believe that a richer understanding of quantum field theory itself, will eventually require us to accept a human behavioral theory of planetary correspondences.

“THE PRIME MOVER(S)”

On the 15th of August 1932, physicists Neils Bohr gave a talk in Copenhagen entitled Light & Life, in which he proposed new concepts about quantum mechanics and biology. In his talk, Bohr posed the same question about the equation of life, which myself and other astrologers have been pondering for decades, even centuries, “…whether some fundamental traits are still missing in the analysis of natural phenomena, before we reach an understanding of life on the basis of physical experience.” And to clarify that last part, in the context of his lecture, he is referring to the processes of physics. In the audience that day, was another theoretical physicist, Max Delbrück, who shortly afterwards deduced that one type of ‘trait’, which Bohr was hypothesizing, could be understood by studying the molecular and chemical characteristics, and behaviours of what was then known about genetics. Delbrück’s work on the replication of bacterio-viruses, which won him the Nobel Prize, established genetics purely as an information science. The processes functioning between molecules, chemicals, and genes are all about transmitting parcels of information - bits and bytes of codes transcribed through light to create life. (*Fun meta-trivial Fact: The Prime Movers, 1965-70, was the band that gave Iggy Pop the name “Iggy” - the lead singer was, of course, master astrologer laureate, Michael Erlewine. I suggest reading his work, The Astrology of Space to dive into some of these areas of scientific astrology.)

“Portrait of a decadent and decaying civilization, the Piscean Age fish out of Water - and out of time. An epoch cycle of mankind comes to the shore of Revelation - in order to end. Washed upon the stormy bank of a New Age, wriggling out of the muck of the emotional ocean, gasping for the Aquarian Air of truth, unable to breathe but not quite ready to die.

We enter a limbo of mystery where we think we know where we’ve been, and we think we know where we want to go. But this is a dimension where the perspective of the ‘I-within-the-we' changes from hour-to-hour and aeon-to-aeon…this is a weigh station for the certain fractals of the oversoul, on a stop that we call ‘reality’ - the real Twilight Zone.”

“SHADOW PLAY”

‘We know that a dream can be real, but who ever thought that reality could be a dream? We exist, of course, but how, in what way? As we believe, as flesh-and-blood human beings, or are we simply parts of someone's feverish, complicated nightmare?’ In 1952, English chemist and X-ray crystallographer, Rosalind Franklin (you should research this unsung hero) directed the project which captured the infamous ‘Photo 51’, the first critical evidence that led to the discovery of the structure of DNA by the controversial team of Watson & Crick. Despite being under-recognized, Franklin’s body of work on crystalline energy structures was considered critical to the understanding of DNA, RNA and viruses, as well as the lattices of coal and graphite, all carbon-based forms. In case you were not aware, organic compounds always contain carbon, inorganic compounds do not. This is a key distinction of life on Earth. Carbon is a fundamental pattern maker, container and translator of organic information. It is the keystone element to 95% of all known compounds, as it bonds with nearly everything, and the second most abundant element in the human body, after oxygen.

“THE MIND AND THE MATTER”

We are carbon forms composed of this 12-fold quasi-crystalline template. This pattern is, in essence, a zodiacal energy wheel encircling all particles, nuclei, unit cells, molecules, living cells, conscious beings and celestial bodies at all of the varying scales of magnitude, in correspondence with each other. We are the carbon-based bio-astrological unit cells of the complex human matrix, the pseudo-material gears in the cosmic 3D cuckoo-clock ticking in 4D time. A unit cell is a repeating component formed by the object vector points of an energy lattice, defined in the areas of mathematics,geometry, mineralogy, optics, chemistry, molecular biology, cellular biology - also space and time. This concept is used in describing the nodal points of complex matrices, structures and forms in two and three dimensions. You are a human unit cell. Biological forms are an advanced way to experience the patterns of information being expressed in temporal reality as our consciousness travels through the fourth dimension. We are currently experiencing the expanded shift in consciousness into the 5th dimension, at least we hope we are, but don’t let this melt your brain just yet.…

“PERCHANCE TO A DREAM”

When atoms of the same element bond together differently they are called allotropes. Take carbon as an example, it has two pure forms which exist differently in different dimensionally latticed structures; graphite (hexagonal - 2D) anddiamond (tetrahedral - 3D); think grand trine, flat and the merkaba, dimensional. I suggest that information is channeled and transmitted by energy through different bonds and angles, as a means, or part of the language itself, by which particles ‘communicate’. This is reflected through ascending and descending, inorganic-to-organic processes, habits and archetypal patterning, which one might analyze as the astrology of atoms - atomic astrology.

The grammar, syntax and local dialect may be simpler in one dimension and highly complex in another but the sonoluminescent vibratory letters in the song of the cosmos are fundamentally the same everywhere. This biological vernacular of the language of life could be thought of as a specific accent of one of the many voices of G-d, slowing down to transmit the living words into the fourth dimension, in order to transcribe the next verses and chapters in the twilight canticle of quantum biological weirdness inherent to organic existence…

“I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC”

It is time to put scientific-thinking back into our astrological practices and take the next steps towards reintroducing astrological-thinking back into ‘real science’ – and vice versa. Astrology is not just of the mind, it is of the body, it is the song of the planets and the cells. The cosmic conductor is bringing the celestial choir to order, to sing this ‘new song’. We are each the sacred singer-songwriter, transcribing the next verses of our future chorale, to assist in the composition of an avant-garde opus entitled Our New Humanity. The tempo is increasing, the ancient chords unite with the new; orchestrated with a better understanding of our connections to the energetic harmonies of planetary cycles. We must rehearse now, in order for our future to be clearly heard in the requiem of truth. Deep Saturnine tones echo still echo as the clarion call of the final steps of Pluto in Capricorn fade away; let THE SOUND of your busy FEET be the THUNDER and your next BREATH be the WIND of the AQUARIAN STORM, with the CRACK of URANIAN LIGHTENING into the swift GEMINI MIND, as our meso-reality begins to take on the macro qualities, abilities and velocities of new 5th dimensional mind, matter and ‘music’… into the breach, warp speed ahead…

“COME WANDER WITH ME”

This realm is a petri dish of joy, suffering and evolution. We are the fact-finding anthropomorphized microbes of an experimental union of the celestial with the terrestrial, designed to extract & decrypt information. Many people have gotten carried away with themselves here in their flesh-decorated spirit containers, lost playing their roles of little kings and queens within their radial fields of influence. We, the many, are the advanced spiritual byproduct and the glorified children of the lower domains yet seem to have forgotten that We are also the ground floor servants and lowliest clerics to the higher dimensions of a vastly intelligent Universe. The base structures for all physical and meta-physical components are rooted, not in matter, but within interlaced arrangements of networked energy, which are connected at all levels and through all time. Ultimately only the penetrating reflection of two unified fundaments - light fully merged into darkness - will remain until the last instant before there is nothing. (*Come Wander with Me was the last episode filmed of the original Twilight Zone series.)

Epilogue

I leave you with this final relevant thought, from the closing narration of the episode entitled, The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street, “The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices...to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill...and suspicion can destroy...and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own—for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, that these things cannot be confined… to the Twilight Zone.”
