The Quintessence of The Masters

It sounds like science has provided reasonable evidence for some of the teachings of old.  What about that hidden element of ancient times, call it “Prana”, “Rvch (Ruach), “Divine Breath”, “The First Matter of the Great Work”, “L.V.X”, “Astral Light”, or “Ether”?


LHC Large Hadron Collider

In 1964 Peter Higgs postulated the existence of a field which provides the means for elementary particles to acquire mass.1  When the Large Hadron Collider's construction was completed in 2008 the means for proving the existence of the Higgs boson was possible.  Finally, on July 4, 2012, the CMS and the ATLAS experimental teams independently announced that they each confirmed the formal discovery of the Higgs boson and by the observation of it, proving the existence of the Higgs field.2  The interaction of this particle's field has an effect on the principal behavior of every other particle at the most fundamental level.


A common description of the Higgs field and how it imparts mass to particles is to imagine a very popular movie star attempting to walk into the Academy Awards ceremony.  The crowd of people will rush the movie star slowing down their ability to move.  When someone unknown attempts to walk past the same crowd of people, they will walk unnoticed and will not be slowed down at all.  In this same way, some particles like electrons move through the Higgs field without notice thereby gaining no measurable mass while other particles interact with the field causing them to exhibit measurable mass.


CERN The Higgs Boson
Curtsy: CERN 
The discovery of the Higgs particle demonstrates that this first primordial subatomic element provided the single influence that caused all subsequent elements to congeal into a structure forming our universe.  Further, its influence continues to permeate all things at the elementary levels.  This description of the Higgs field is virtually the same as that provided by the esoteric teacher’s postulations of Prana, Rvch, et. all.


Without mass, gravity would not exist, and atoms would not have come together to form the first hydrogen clouds.  Einstein explained the gravitational force as an energy well affecting a curvature in space-time induced by mass.3  His theory is commonly illustrated by a stretched sheet of rubber representing space-time and the creation of a cavity or dimple in the sheet, which represents gravity, by the placement of a bowling ball in its center, illustrating the introduction of a large mass.  If a billiard ball were then placed on the sheet as an example of a second smaller mass, it would appear to be attracted towards the bowling ball demonstrating the behavior of the gravitational force.

Man Manifests using Focused Intention with Desire

Image
AI Generated Free Photo from Vecteezy.  Saying someone is going to manifest something can conjure up images in the mind of magic being performed.  We see daily, however, that people manifest numerous events, feelings,  and even objects by simply focusing their intentions on a desired condition.  From there the subconscious begins endless calculations on what is necessary for obtaining the goal, with the least amount of personal effort possible (the law of conservation of energy). Clearly, no magic is required if our subconscious does it automatically but there is an implication that certain abilities and understandings are needed to be successful. AI generated Free Photo from Vecteezy The same is true for spirituality in regards to manifesting forces of connection, peace, faith, and a like.   It requires abilities and understanding of focusing intention but toward spiritual desires instead.  The challenge for most in gaining the appropriate understandi...

Compendiums

AI Generated Free Photo from Freepik In our modern age, it is more and more difficult to relate to the idea of having to “build”, “repair”, or “repurpose” something with our own hands.   For many people, we live in a disposable society and age.   We simply go out, “buy” what we want, and then dispose of it after it no longer provides us satisfaction. This concept of disposability has even been perpetuated into our societal views of appropriate treatment of human life.   To Corporations, people are simply replicable “cogs” of production.   To the Strong, the ruled are soulless “slaves” of labor.   To many Religious Radicles, people are ignorant children to be disciplined into dogma for conformity and control. We are Evolved  though! As part of wearing that title, we need to practice the precepts of building, repairing, and recycling.   We cannot be expected to produce a Master work of art without education, practice, and repetition.   “Handcrafting...

Prayer, the Other definition

Image
AI Generated Free Photo from Pixabay   “Let us take a moment in Prayer and Meditation.”    I have often heard at spiritual gatherings these words used.   It could be viewed that both words are used simply as an inclusive communication style to lead both traditional religious and Humanitarian based believers together in contemplation. AI Generated Free Photo I think today many people of western culture are having amazing experience with meditation and that it is beginning to be better understood.   Prayer however has always been left to the Religions to define and sometimes enforce.   In some commercialized religions saying a “prayer” has become synonyms to saying “Give Me”. There is one definition of the word Prayer I am beginning to appreciate and believe has more in common with meditation and other esoteric practices than I realize. Prayer / prer /: “ The act of self-analysis or self-appraisal. ” For me, this definition is an expression of...
