That which the current materialist ideology considers the objective external world is apperceived by illumined sages as a collective dream-field. Space and time exist only as structural features of the matrix of the collective illusion. Once awareness becomes un-embedded from identification with a character in the dream-field, apperception realizes that what had been mistaken for things is a flux of evolving patterns of potentiality within consciousness itself. That which forms the substrate of all this can be considered the divine chi.

Consciousness can crack the divine chi code by simply eliminating the conceptual screen that defines pattern into durable goods. Consciousness must go against the grain of its originating aesthetic desire to define form. It must be clearly understood that the work of definition bootstraps itself into language, propelled into evolving mental patterning, and thence into concretized ego. Ego is further propelled by the same desire, to build a secondary layer of semiotic scenarios, an ego narrative, which structures the real into delusory egocentric life. This is the cause of suffering. The divine chi has been stifled, the flow of limitless potentiality has been staunched, and a closed cycle of repetitive self-defining states of false consciousness has been instantiated. In the same way as beavers build dams in rivers, human egos build dams in the flow of the divine chi.

Through the act of damming the dam—of halting the flow of language in the mind—the conceptual edifice that supports the illusion of the dream-field falls. This is what is called meditation. Once the ego structure has been cracked, the divine chi can penetrate into consciousness. This produces an effect of quantum strangeness. The appearance within the seemingly objective world of the energy of pure potentiality produces conditions that are ripe for allowing what are commonly called miracles. The miraculous is simply the presence of the divine chi at large in consciousness partially freed of the conceptual screen.

When gaps in the ego become greater, other sorts of non-ordinary phenomena may occur. These may include apperception of parallel universes, angelic and extraterrestrial beings, utterly improbable synchronicities, and even stranger phenomena that can cause massive horripilations and other unwanted somatic effects. If such phenomena occur in a mind unprepared for such exotica, mental instability and even psychosis may result. These sorts of phenomena have long been associated with the energy that is called by Yogis in India Kundalini. Sudden breakthroughs of Kundalini, as a result of botanicals or synthetic drugs, extreme physical situations, exhaustion or fear, or near-death experiences, can create traumatic disturbance, but can also be healing and transformative. Yogis prefer to approach the liberation of the divine chi in a more conscious, deliberate, and surrendered state. This is the intention behind meditation.

Those who begin the process of liberating the divine chi can, however, find themselves in the strange predicament of feeling worse off than ever, with strange psychosomatic symptoms, sudden rushes of energy, or a loss of vital energy and a sense of stagnation, and even of things going suddenly wrong in their lives in completely unexpected ways. This may turn them off from the spiritual path and cause them to seek stability in alcohol, prozac, or other drugs. This is because of a misunderstanding of the nature of reality and of
the ego’s conflictive internal dynamics.

What is happening in these cases is that the crack in the ego that is liberating the divine chi is being covered over and sealed by the inner censor, producing a clamping sensation in the brain, often causing headaches and sinus problems, extreme emotional volatility, and at the same time releasing unconscious energies patterned into undesirable phantasms into the conscious space of externalized apperception. If the censor’s fear of the liberation of the divine chi becomes too extreme and yet the conscious will continues to work to free the flow of energy, the conflict will intensify. It can erupt at many other sites in the body. Sciatica is possible, along with other problems like allergies, skin conditions, gastrointestinal problems, dizziness, multiple sclerosis, and even Parkinson’s disease.

The internal censor is fighting against the liberation of the divine chi because it is a mental object based in standing waves of anxiety. The censor has an inherent fear of freedom. It is masked as a fear of pain and death, but in truth it is a fear of the infinite. Since the Self is infinite, the censor paradoxically fears its innermost Self.

The censor maintains consciousness in a state of fear as well, through the production of a judgmental superego voice, as well as the many other mechanisms it has to control consciousness, ranging from psychological and somatic dysfunction to externalized effects of adversity arranged by camouflaged telekinetic processes and other forms of projective identification. To overcome these forces of opposition to liberation, consciousness must connect with a power that outranks the censor/superego and gain mastery over the unconscious. Self-sovereignty is the key to liberation. And complete self-sovereignty can only be gained through surrender to the Absolute.

Once consciousness has allied itself with the Supreme Being, through a combination of bhakti, gyana, and karma yoga, and through meditative serenity has brought stability and transparency to the psychic mechanism, the censor’s power to impede the process of liberation will subside. The phantasms of the unconscious can be dissolved. This process of purification will again unleash the miraculous powers of the divine chi.

At the end of the process, the ego construct will have evaporated, and the collective dream-field will have been recognized for what it really is. This is the phase that is referred to in Buddhism by the phrase, “form is emptiness, emptiness form.” To get beyond this realization, the ‘I am’ that is the root of the ego must also fall away, resulting in the elimination of the world of form as a whole. Maya returns to Brahman. This is referred to in Yogic terms as Pralaya.

At the end of a collective cycle of planetary karma, the entire matrix of the dream-field of Gaia is re-set through the complete liberation of the planet’s divine chi. This the process currently underway. It is producing many effects, including global warming, massive earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, plagues, wars, financial system collapse, and collective insanity. The final result, however, will be the miraculous restoration of the original paradise-like conditions of our world. To achieve this result, we must completely crack the divine chi code and realize our true Being as the One Dreamer of this cosmic dream.

Namaste,
