Had Mutually Exclusive? A theory.
-
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Could I get some feedback on a theory? Maybe something finally 'clicked', and I'm simply getting the whole picture now, or maybe I actually stumbled upon something new, I don't know. I'm not sure of the 'origin' of this idea, but in meditation a complete concept sprang into my consciousness. It seemed to me to answer a lot of unanswered questions I had. I'm posting it here to get your thoughts.
The theory is very simple, and is all perfectly symbolized by the circumpunct; the point within the circle. To me this symbolizes a sole consciousness at the core of a single universe. This is the obvious picture of a living cell that makes up any organism; each ruled or focused upon its central "sun" the nucleous. In quantum mechanics there has been a lot to support the idea of multiple universes (aggregates of experience). Each one of these exclusive universes could hold a single -- truly divine spark (Will) at its Center; and all 'others' within a particular universe are then regarded as shadows, or simply one of many possibilities of another foreign "star". Thus you would have "star and star, system and system", each not of course -"knowingly well the other". Or in other words - we are limited in experiencing this other "star" or "system" as one possibility of them (another person/real star). Since we are truly alone; being the Center of our own highly personal "system" (universe), all we encounter in life is highly personal. If this theory is correct, then our Wills can never truly be interfered with, as there are no "other" "wills" to collide with. Everyone else is secretly congruent with our Will. "Do what thou Wilt" then perfectly describes this situation and the actual structure of this metaphysical cell; as DNA is comparable to the Will of any cell, and which is the bases of 'what' it 'does'.
Love is the law, love under will

Some thoughts to add...
If the circle in not infinite in size, then it is limited - temporarily defining a boundary - which, of course, is how people define themselves within their personality fields.
If the circle IS of infinite size... then all the circles are the same circle, a circle which has "everywhere the center."

Now you have set me up for a sweaty meditation! I'm not sure I fully understand, I'm slow, I have to churn on it a while to get at it lol. I sense some real meat there. If I'm getting you, then your saying that for any one to be alone the Center is limiting. If a circle is infinite, then it is to include all others (other included centers). Do I have that right? If so I would say that each circle does include all other centers but as in relation to its Center. The whole super-space (?) that these infinite circles exist in is all inclusive, just as a body includes all individual (infinite dividing) cells that compose it.

After some further thought, I think what your saying is that the more one dissolves the personality (the finite personality field) they expand to include all; all other centers that is. So then in effect they are escaping their limited circle, to lose any one individual Will (universe), (to cross the Abyss?) and lose their individuality in All, or include All possible universes! Am I right Jim??? Is this comparable to one cell in the body losing its self to 'become' aware as 'the body' i.e. all cells come together to compose the body? That then would be the infinite circle where it is "everywhere the Center"; as any one body is in actuality at the core (DNA) of all the cells?

A circle represents the finite boundary of an infinity...
Let us draw a circle
Within that circle, inscribe an equilateral tri-angle
Inscribe a second equilateral tri-angle of an opposite polarity
(At this point, you have a Hexagram inscribed in a circle)
By then further inscribing tri-angles you can create a series of Hexagrams
You may continue, inscribing a larger set
... a larger set
... a larger set
... a larger set
Ad infinitumThus, you can inscribe infinite objects within a finite boundary.
Though I do have some qualms with defining a circle as a finite boundary, due to being defined as an infinite set of points equidistant from a singular point.An idea which popped into my mind right now is viewing it from the perspective of the center point being the boundary...

Amen.
The circle is space, the point is time(or rather, a moment in time).
Space is infinite, but consciousness is always restricted to quality of the moment in which it's conscious.
I see astrology as determining the 'quality' of time.
I like the thinking here. Good chin scratching indeed. -

You all make some good points, and I'm pretty sure I'm not fully getting it all! But, also possibly your misunderstanding my original idea. Let me try to restate it a little more clearly, just in case. The reason im wandering is that I dont feel infinity has any bearing on what im saying. Each individual universe (seperate) is infinite in scope.
The idea is that each one of us is the sole Center of a complete and infinite universe. In other words we are the only TRUE conscious being (star) in our universe. Everyone else we encounter in our universe is not conscious in the same deep and spiritual manner we are, they are reflections of other "stars" somewhere else; in some other universe of their own. We (you) simply interact with but ONE of these other stars possibilities. "They" are automatons, mindless robots, perfect imitations of our consciouness, yet spiritually 'dead'. This could explain a lot of the apparent severity in Liber Al - i.e. "pity not the fallen.", "kill and torture" etc. These arent directives, its analogolous examples of our true situation. In other words, these people arent real, do not take them as things to sacrifice for or care about as living equals. It also explains how you can never harm a 'king', a king is YOU! Any other king is not anywhere near you to be harmed; hes a whole seperate universe away in fact!
It is explained, for example that in quantum mechanics everything is a probability wave. This wave is basically the same thing as your potential. Each of us have a whole range of possibilities of what we can become etc. So, the idea is in our little bubble where we are sole captains and Lords, "kings" or the symbolic sun, all the people that fill our universe are but the callapse of a probability wave (anagalous to your will). This realization of a particular possibility that is any other person in your life, is but one of some other centers many possible states.
For example, in MY system or universe I'm a medic. Yet, in YOUR own universe, to you, I may be a baker. This is "chosen" out of ALL my possibilities of my stars nature particularly for YOU. I will never know it however, as that's YOUR universe and it is YOUR will. Everything within that personal infinite bubble IS particular to YOUR will. So in other words each star has its own system, which includes a faint representative - a reflection of every other star. Hence star and star - system and system, each not knowing well the other! We couldn't know any other well, since we are not consciously there. We can never truly tell this secret, because those listening are shells simply controlled by our hidden Wills.
Hope this makes sense. I find it hard to accurately describe this concept, its very tricky. Yet, its based upon actual possible physics. Today there is discussion among the scientific community on the mysteries of consciousness and the collapse of probability waves. They are discovering this strangely points to the idea of the possibilty of there being only ONE consciousness.

I see what you're saying. I kinda believe that once someone in your universe is completely, utterly understood on all levels, your consciousness sort of swallows theirs. They become part of your dream, and they begin working your karma instead of their own, consciously or unconsciously. Now, only shallow beings are really capable of being understood in this manner, as 'kings' are far too complex in their individuality to be reduced to easily manipulated algorithms, unlike the many sheep at our disposal.
But it absolutely is all ONE consciousness, just aspects of the Void.
At least for us, all of ours is borrowed from the Sun.
We are all aspects of his ONE consciousness, though he's a good father and wants his kids to grow up and be like him.I only have one challenge; what of binary stars? What of True Love?
I wake up every day and go to bed every night lost in the mystery that such a thing exists. -

You still persist in thinking that "each" of these universes is distict from the others, and that "everyone else we encounter" is somehow distinctive from who we are.
I understand that this is how the ego is habituated to seeing things and continues to want to see things.
I'm not suggesting that what you wrote is per se untrue. I'm saying that it paints an incomplete picture that misses roughly half of what's so.
Practice for, say, a week, seeing every single person you encounter as a star, infinite and amazing in the body of Nuit, and see if you still perceive them as "automatons, mindless robots, perfect imitations of our consciouness, yet spiritually 'dead'."

That specific excersize is one of the most important excersizes I have ever come across.
When I personally did this, I was the head clerk at the circulation desk of the Rundel Library, and had to have face to face interactions with hundreds, if not thousands of people a week. It was one of the most challenging excersizes I had ever done at the time, but one that helped me move past my negative reactionary behaviors and thoughts, and into a positive loving acceptance and understanding.
As for Binary stars, just yesterday I read some very cool data from a Russian named Kozyrev, I won't spoil your own seeking, but in 1966 he proposed that the binary stars were energetically harmonizing with each other through the flow of time...at speeds faster than light....

Oh, I don't doubt it in the slightest.
NOT. AT. ALL.
Every morning, and every night, I have my proof

It's getting to the point where I'll be moving out soon, but there are(were) still so many subliminal frustrations present in the house from me feeling unsatisfied by my parents, what they did with their lives, and how they raised(or, frankly, didn't raise) me, plus their frustration because I completely de-identified from them and the culture we live in. At the house, all I'd ever do is read books they didn't understand, listen to music they didn't understand, and stare out the window. It hurt me to see my mom as an alcoholic and my dad with anger issues, because I knew it stemmed from them not knowing what to do with their own children. It took a lot of strength and learning for me to see them as their own stars, as I knew their simple egos front-to-back and was well used to just manipulating and hiding from them. All I had to do, which seemed so difficult throughout my childhood, was talk to them. As peers, not people who owed me something for having disappointed me in some way. In one week, this place is unrecognizable in improvement. I learned that they experienced the Earth with just as much depth as I did, in their Hearts, even if their Heads hadn't caught up yet. I'll be turning 18 in July, and for the first time, I feel like I have a foundation in my parents.
I can attest to that exercise. -

I think your still misunderstanding me, or confusing my attempt at explaining the mechanics of my concept for the overall picture. I most certainly DO see every individual as a infinite star, alive and supreme! But within there OWN Center.
An example would be the electron cloud, which before a physicist makes any attempt at measuring speed or position is a fuzzy sphere surrounding the atom. The belief is currently that this "cloud" is the orbiting electron(s) in every possible position. When observed however, this cloud ceases to exist and collapses into a single electron. In other words the observer determines the electrons position out from the cloud of possibility. Here is a quote discussing the electron cloud function:
"One of the theories addressing the peculiarities of the sub atomic world is the Parallel Worlds Theory. Originally introduced by Hugh Everett III in 1957, this mode of thinking states that the electron exists at every possible point around the nucleus at the same time. Each possible point exists in a separate universe and the sum total of all the possible points, or universes, results in the electron cloud. The electron cloud is an energy state. Therefore, the quantum jumps are not really jumps through space, but the effect of the observer seeing the electron in different universes. So the electron isn’t really jumping around at all. The observer is just seeing the electron in a different, parallel world."
Each 'position' then is thought to exist within a particular parallel universe, with EACH electrons possible position ALONE occupying its OWN universe. This idea of individual seperate parallel universes has been a favorite answer to the odd behavior of light, which behaves like a wave and a particle. The wave is the result of collapsing of probability. So even though EACH person you encounter, is a star, and supreme - the paradox is that no one particular star is known to another fully; just one probability inherent of them. This does not change the fact therefore of your relation to them within your own universe; there you alone are the "star".
This beautiful system then allows each of us to recognize and respect each individual as a star, YET at the same realize themselves as supreme within their own right (Will). This is akin to a king acknowledging the equality of another Ruler of another kingdom, yet both are supreme Monarchs of their own seperate estates. Each King, even though respecting the title of the other, also respects the mutual supremecy of the other within their respective lands. A king within the wrong kingdom is thus still at the mercy of the king who rules it.
This also then has as a by product the ability to see them as a reflection of ourselves! Ultimately we are all ONE anyway, and so this particular possibility of another star is chosen to reflect an aspect of our star as well. So, I do not see others as alien or somehow detached but on the contrary, I see everyone as well as every thing, as a direct aspect of myself. The language of them being "automatons", and "dead" simply was trying to illustrate the incomplete aspects of these shadows; being that these 'people' are not centers within MY system. I'm here then defining a star as a true Center and focal point of the universe; but this does not deter me from realizing others as stars. I simply understand the images I percieve are but a spark of their hidden splender. This is literally true anyway, as we can never fully realize ALL the potential of any person, as they are constantly choosing their motion and leaving others hidden, for example we can know "Jim" as a "Lawyer", but we never can never realize "Jim the accountant".
I hope this explains it better. As I said its simple, yet hard to plainly explain it.

Well my arguement in relation to the idea of knowing another fully enough to unite with them, I think is impossible. The reason is that everyone is a whole infinity (every number is infinite), a infinite range of possibilities which they are. In other words we can only know a certain amount we are given access to of another. I think these others, even the those who we encounter "true love" with are beyond us in a sense. We may resonate and know them to a greater degree and allow them to play more of a vital role in our lives, yet this type of love is limited. The "other" love (there is love and love") is true union with the universe, of which is connected to that All. Incedentally this All or (mulitiverse?) is in direct contact with any other star; including the other in your more limited type of love. The way then to encounter true love (with another star) would be by way of the Serpent.

I got what you were saying. But, "Do what though wilt... Over there in your OWN universe" amounts to divorcing yourself from "them." That's where you are missing a big part of the picture. It's also a place where you are making your own universe look far smaller than it actually is.

"There are a few different theories in quantum physics to do with multiple universes.
One theory says that there is another universe for each potential probability.
Another theory says: perhaps that's true, but they collapse pretty quickly and do not 'reach threshold'.
Anything you think about the matter has already 'reached threshold' in your consciousness.
But no-one has any sort of stomping ground or reserved territory assigned for them and them alone, when it comes to the quantum spacetime of their consciousness. There is no place you can wander and say 'this bit 'here' of quantum spacetime is mine! Not even if you stopped the motion of your thoughts completely. The motion of the whole of consciousness would continue regardless of this.You live. You die. And death not ends it."
There has been the question of how then does a wave function (probability wave) collapse if observed if there are more than one observer? The whole range of scientific study in the quatum world depends upon the observed collapsing out of this sea of fuzzy probability into reality when measured. The problem is the chain of observation. For example if one scientist observes the result of a super position result yet has not yet told anyone the result remains in the fuzzy state of neither here nor there. He then tells another, lets say, and that scientist then hold the key and infinitum. This is a crude attempt to describe the actual scientific paradox of collapsing waves that DETERMINE our physical reality. One of the proposed theories is that there is truly only ONE observer, one consciousness that collapses the wave. However, since this obviously flies in the face of 'reason's it is not believed. This is why I propose the idea that in each of the possible universal States we each pervieve it alone the Center, an actual reference frame - a window.

No. We are doing what THOU wilt. How can we divorce ourselves from others if we alone are the bearer of our wills anyway? They play a role in it, as a shadow of our Center "will" plays a part in theirs, each will then sharing with the other. Its not unlike a series of interlocking gears, the Center cog being our will, working in TANDEM with all others. That's not a divorce, that's team work.

I agree. But what you rail against is the consequence of what you are describing. I'm just not clear why you're working so hard to portray a polyverse instead of a universe. The most tempting guesses are the usual motives of the Ruach: (1) intellectual satisfaction or (2) ego satisfaction.

Huh? I don't want a polyverse. In fact its the vast scientific community that now supports a multiverse, and I agree! Which is much LARGER than a universe! In fact, if this be correct, the idea expands the universe instead of limiting it, as it gives root to an interconnection of a staggering superior infinity! Universes connected to universes of infinite range! All churning together, sharing there centers light with the other, truly a fitting picture for Crowleys vision of the Star sponge.
I'm not working hard at anything but to explain the concept properly, as I think its being misunderstood is all. I assure you typing in an obscure forum under a basically anonymous name doesn't do my ego much, but every individual gets intellectual satisfaction if he is right. Unless your a Magus?
