Academia Iluministă (64)
THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under the pseudonym of “Adam Weishaupt” – the name of the Illuminati’s most notorious Grand Master.
The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the “Demiurge”; an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God, and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.
If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his “Chosen People”, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the “God of All” entered into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he then despatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because they were indelibly marked by the “Original Sin” of Adam and Eve. Only the atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s “son”, Jesus Christ, could wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour were eligible for Paradise.
Of course, the Chosen People of “God” have almost entirely rejected Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd? Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?
Remember that this same “God” ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command, rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical “believers”.
Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however, you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific, mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.

The Divine Comedy:
Probably the greatest defence ever presented for the existence of a Creator God is the artistic one furnished by Dante, the brilliant Italian poet, in the first quarter of the 14th century.
Dante’s masterwork – The Divine Comedy – takes the reader on an amazing journey through the soul’s three possible destinations according to Roman Catholicism: Hell, Purgatory or Heaven.
In the Inferno, Dante provides the greatest-ever depiction of Hell. In the Purgatoria, he provides the definitive version of the uniquely Catholic theological concept of Purgatory where the sinners not wicked enough to be damned to Hell nor good enough to be admitted straight to Heaven go to be purged of their sins in preparation for Paradise. Finally, in Paradiso, Dante ventures to Paradise itself, finally seeing the Triune Christian God with his own eyes.
The centrepiece of the poem is a wondrous cosmology based on ancient Aristotelian and Ptolemaic teachings, integrated with Christian myths.
At the centre of Dante’s universe is Earth, and at the centre of Earth is none other than Satan himself, at the point furthest from God.
Earth is divided into a Northern Hemisphere of land and a Southern Hemisphere of water. At the centre of the Northern Hemisphere is the holy city of Jerusalem and its polar opposite in the Southern Hemisphere is the island of Mount Purgatory, surrounded by a vast ocean with no other land anywhere near.
Mount Purgatory was created by the soil and rock displaced when Satan and his Fallen Angels crashed into the Earth and smashed through into the core. Satan struck the Earth feet first, creating a huge crater (later crusted over by land) in the Northern Hemisphere. All the crater debris had to go somewhere and its effect was to push up a huge mountain (Mount Purgatory) at the centre of the Southern Hemisphere.
Hell is positioned underneath the Northern Hemisphere (beneath Jerusalem) and is composed of nine circles in a great cone-shaped structure, narrowing as it descends to Satan at the lowest point of the cone (the centre of the Earth). Dante’s vision provides an early version of the Hollow Earth theory, with Hell taking the place of the underground cities and communities that feature in the writings of the proponents of the Hollow Earth.
Like Hell, Mount Purgatory (the mount of salvation) has nine circles, and at the top is the earthly paradise of the Garden of Eden: next stop Heaven!
So, what exists between Eden at the top of Mount Purgatory and God? First of all, the four elements of the ancient Greeks – earth, water, air and fire – come into play. The Earth itself is the element of earth. It is covered by the second element, water, and it has a third element of air as its atmosphere. Between the air atmosphere and the Moon, is a sphere of the fourth element: pure fire – a kind of invisible spiritual fire.
Dante thus accounts for the four classical elements, and they are all located in the sublunary domain i.e. the mortal realm below the Moon. The superlunary domain above the Moon is immortal, and is made of different grades of the mystical fifth element – the famous quintessence (aether). The aether is as pure and transparent as clear glass.
The quintessence was poetically said to form crystal spheres (or spherical shells to be more exact, one within another like Russian dolls), and each sphere contained one of the components of our familiar solar system. In a series of concentric spheres (usually called “Heavens”) surrounding the Earth are: the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Fixed Stars, the Primum Mobile and finally, the Empyrean, the abode of God.
The soul, leaving Eden, goes on the ultimate journey, ascending through the crystal spheres one by one. As it travels ever upwards, it starts to hear the wondrous Music of the Spheres of which Pythagoras spoke. By the time the soul reaches the Empyrean, the music has become simply divine: it is the music of Creation itself, of Eternity, of God.
Every stage of the ascent takes the soul further and further from Satan and his irredeemable evil. The soul reaches levels of ever-increasing purity, and the quality of light it experiences becomes more and more perfect.
The ascent takes the soul through the “seven heavens” of our solar system (as it was known and understood in ancient and medieval times): the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Beyond these seven heavens is the crystal sphere of the fixed stars (the “firmament”).
In this cosmological view, there’s a finite number of stars and they are all located within one shell of the overall vast sphere of Creation. All of the stars are fixed perfectly in position. None of them move: only the shell in which they are located moves, thus explaining the apparent movement of the stars and constellations in the night sky seen from a supposedly stationary Earth.

Dante:
DANTE (1265-1321) is one of the greatest artists of all time. He was on the fringes of the Illuminati, being a zealous advocate of the Knights Templar and despising those who destroyed the Templar Order. He was equally enraptured by the Illuminati’s tales of King Arthur and the Holy Grail.
Although his Divine Comedy seems like impeccable Catholic orthodoxy, it is studded with potential heresies and denunciations of popes and ecclesiastical corruption. He explicitly placed the controversial Joachim of Fiore (a secret Grand Master of the Illuminati) in Paradise even though Joachim’s writings were condemned as heretical.
Dante met many Templars and they were keen to recruit him to Illuminism. Dante, however, was genuinely attracted to Catholic doctrine and although he had many doubts in specific areas, he found the whole package wondrous and inspiring. He cherished the idea that Catholicism could be reformed rather than destroyed. He was intrigued by the possible union of Illuminism and Catholicism, and this in fact has been a recurring theme in the history of Illuminism. The simplest way to effect a religious transformation of the world would be for the Illuminati to assume the leadership of the Catholic Church and start ditching all of the junk ideas like faith, original sin, grace, baptism, transubstantiation, Papal infallibility etc.
Both the Knights Templar and the Jesuits were intended to be Illuminist Fifth Columns that would take over Catholicism from the inside. Adam Weishaupt was raised as a Bavarian Catholic, and also harboured an aspiration to take over Catholicism and turn it to the truth. Even today, a cell of the Illuminati is working on a new, sane version of Christianity. Dante would have approved.
In many ways, his dazzling depiction of the journey of the soul through Hell and Purgatory and its subsequent ascent through the heavens to Paradise is an allegory of the trials and tribulations of a soul as it undergoes many reincarnations in the world before achieving gnosis and escaping.
******
Isn’t it time the Catholic Church admitted its myriad errors and submitted to the truth of Illumination? We offer to run the Catholic (“Universal”) Church, and we will restore it to the unity of science and religion that it enjoyed in the era of Dante.
If the Catholic Church is remotely interested in the truth it must accept our offer. The Catholic Church was our most ancient and deadly enemy, but now its power is gone and it’s a sham edifice, a hollow Church, a walking zombie that doesn’t realise its dead. Only Illumination can resurrect it. Like Catholicism, Illumination is rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, in Orphism, Mithraism and Neoplatonism.
The Illuminati have absolute contempt for Judaism, Islam and Protestantism, but Catholicism is different. It can be intellectually salvaged thanks to its underpinnings of Greek philosophy. We say to all Catholics: see the light! See the truth. Join the Illuminati. The Illuminati have solved all of the mathematical problems that prevented ancient Greek science, mathematics and philosophy from becoming the cornerstone of human knowledge. The ancient Greeks had more or less solved every problem, but without assembling the pieces of jigsaw correctly. We have succeeded where they failed.
It was not until the advent of German Enlightenment Idealism, starting with Leibniz, that ancient Greek ideas could be perfected. The answer lay in the only place it was ever likely to be found – mathematics, the language of the divine, the foundation of the cosmos.
Mathematics is the sole guarantor of rational truth. Even modern science bows to mathematics and it is precisely for that reason that religion and science can once again be brought back together. Mathematics is the glue that binds religion and science. It is the only religious language that science understands. All other religious statements are ridiculous nonsense. All declarations of faith and revelation are preposterous and laughable. They are the essence of anti-mathematics, hence they are utterly false.
What is the central feature of Illuminism? – its Logos substructure is purely mathematical, based on zero and infinity. What is the central feature of Abrahamism? – it’s pure Mythos without a single reference to mathematics. As Galileo declared: “The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.”
AMEN to that!
It’s time for the truth. It’s time for mathematics. It’s time for Illuminism. The Pope must bow to the Illuminati and vacate the Vatican for those who actually stand for the truth. Let holy books be written in mathematics from now on and damn the illiterate, innumerate prophets!

The Ultimate Mid-life Crisis:
DANTE’S INFERNO BEGINS…
“Midway along the journey of our life
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
for I had wandered off from the straight path.”
A middle-aged man, Dante had lost sight of where he was going in life. He no longer knew his path and found himself in a dark wood (depression, doubt, fear, anxiety). Things were about to get a lot worse: he would soon be descending into Hell! Yet that would be his launchpad to spiritual enlightenment and, by the end of his journey, he would see God in the Empyrean.
If we want to see God, we may have to see the Devil first. Hell precedes Heaven. There are no easy paths, no straight roads to Paradise. We have to wander along crooked tracks in dark woods and fall into bottomless abysses. Yet, in the end, our struggle makes us fit for Paradise. As Nietzsche said, “What does not kill me makes me stronger.”

The Inscription over the gate of Hell:
THROUGH ME IS THE WAY TO THE CITY OF WOE,
THROUGH ME IS THE WAY TO ETERNAL PAIN,
THROUGH ME IS THE WAY TO THE LOST.
JUSTICE MOVED MY HEAVENLY ARCHITECT;
DIVINE POWER MADE ME,
AND SUPREME WISDOM JOINED WITH ETERNAL LOVE.
BEFORE ME WERE CREATED ONLY ENDLESS THINGS,
AND I ENDURE ENDLESSLY.
ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE.
The final words of Dante’s inscription are amongst the most famous in literature. Has there ever been a more chilling statement? When you pass through this gate, hope is gone forever. You will never be coming out and the only thing that lies in front of you is suffering that never ends. You can’t even kill yourself. You can’t be annihilated. There’s simply no escape.
Take careful note. Hell was not created by the Devil but by God. God, not Satan, is Hell’s true Gaoler and Torturer. The Devil is merely his agent, his unpaid help. Hell is the creation of the three persons of the Trinity: God the Father (Divine Power), Son (Supreme Wisdom), and Holy Spirit (Eternal Love). Jesus Christ is the Lord of Hell. He doesn’t love you. He hates you.
We are told that the Christian God was motivated not by love, forgiveness, mercy, compassion or kindness but by JUSTICE. Yet what is just about Hell where finite crimes are met with infinite punishment? This is the last place where justice is found.
We are told that God created only eternal things before creating Hell, and that Hell will endure eternally. God’s FINAL ACT of eternal creation was to build Hell! Hell was ready for business BEFORE God declared, “Let there be light!” In other words, God, before he embarked on the Biblical Creation, had intended to populate Hell with endless souls. If that does not make him the Cosmic Torturer and Sadist, what does? If that doesn’t mean that he’s Satan, King of Hell, what could?
What loving God declares to his creations that he will strip from them hope itself, thereby sentencing them to a fate literally worse than death? What sane person would ever worship this deranged monster?
Nietzsche, as usual, provided a deadly analysis of the toxic psychology of Christianity: “In my view, Dante was grossly in error when, with an ingenuity inspiring terror, he set that inscription over the gateway into his hell: ‘Eternal love also created me.’ Over the gateway into the Christian paradise and its ‘eternal blessedness’ it would, in any event, be more fitting to let the inscription stand ‘Eternal hate also created me’ – provided it’s all right to set a truth over the gateway to a lie!”
Saint Thomas Aquinas declared that punishment, when deserved, is LOVE. Did he therefore mean that infinite and eternal punishment is infinite and eternal love? In that case, it would definitely be better to be hated by God, wouldn’t it?!

Dante and Numerology:
The Devine Comedy is divided into exactly 100 cantos (a canto is to an epic poem what a chapter is to a novel). The number 100, according to the laws of numerological mystical addition is 1 + 0 + 0 = 1 = God.
The Divine Comedy is divided into 3 books (Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso), and each book has 33 cantos (with the Inferno having an extra canto to serve as an introduction.
Throughout the epic poem, overwhelming attention is paid to the numbers 3, 6, 9 and 10. They are embedded everywhere.
10 (the number of the Pythagorean tetraktys) is the number of perfection, which is why the Empyrean, the abode of God, comes after the nine celestial spheres.
Important names in Dante’s poem are delivered according to exact numerical formulae. A significant character’s name appears 63 times (6 + 3 = 9). The same name is used as a rhyming word 9 times. Every appearance of the name is related to 3 or 9 in some way or another.
The whole poem is saturated with numerical relations. It could almost be understood mathematically rather than verbally.
******
Inferno.
Hell has 1 + 9 levels (1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1).
The first level is the vestibule of Hell where the Ignavi – the lukewarm, the neutrals who followed no cause in life – are placed. No one wants them, not even Hell. They have no hope of death, and their lives are so contemptible that they envy all fates other than their own. The world rubs out all mention of their names. No one wants to discuss them. It is said that they were never really alive. The world passes by them in silence.
Ironically, Dante recognises one of the anonymous masses and accuses him of making the Great Refusal out of cowardice (it was believed he was referring to Pope Celestine V who abdicated in 1294, five months after his Papal election, thus refusing to do the job God assigned him). It must have been disconcerting for the Vatican to note that the very first person in Hell to whom attention was drawn was a Pope!
The vestibule of Hell is separated from Hell proper by the first river of Hell – Acheron (Greek for “flowing pain”).
Then come the nine circles of Hell:
First Circle (Limbo)
Second Circle (Lust)
Third Circle (Gluttony)
Fourth Circle (Greed)
Fifth Circle (Anger)
Sixth Circle (Heresy)
Seventh Circle (Violence)
Eighth Circle (Fraud)
Ninth Circle (Treachery)
If you want to know the number of different types of torture available in Hell, it’s 144,000.
******
Purgatory.
Purgatory has 2 + 7 = 9 levels + 1 special level at the top (1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1).
A hole from Hell emerges on the Island of Purgatory. Cato the Younger, a famous Roman pagan and zealous defender of the Roman Republic, guards the Island and fiercely sends back any souls from Hell that have miraculously managed to escape. (Cato committed suicide rather than submit to Caesar with his anti-Republican kingly and imperial designs.)
The island is dominated by a single, towering mountain divided into nine terraces. Purgatory has two ante-levels for: 1) The Excommunicate and 2) The Late Repentant. Souls hang around here awaiting an opportunity to enter Purgatory proper (they are admitted only as new spaces become available when souls completing their penitential journey through Purgatory are promoted to Heaven). They can be helped on their way by the prayers of the living, so get on your knees and start praying for your dead loved ones.
The entrance gate to Purgatory is at the foot of the third terrace. It, and the following six terraces, are dedicated to the seven deadly sins. The terraces are:
Terrace 3 (for the proud)
Terrace 4 (for the envious)
Terrace 5 (for the wrathful)
Terrace 6 (for the slothful)
Terrace 7 (for the covetous)
Terrace 8 (for the gluttonous)
Terrace 9 (for the lustful)
The summit of Mount Purgatory, completely different in character from the lower terraces, is the Earthly Paradise (Garden of Eden) from which the purified souls ascend to the Celestial Paradise.
******
Paradise.
Paradise, like Purgatory, has 9 + 1 levels (9 + 1 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1). Where you end up in Paradise is determined by the type of life you led. The nine Spheres of Heaven are:
First Sphere (The Moon: The Inconstant)
Second Sphere (Mercury: The Ambitious)
Third Sphere (Venus: The Lovers)
Fourth Sphere (The Sun: The Wise)
Fifth Sphere (Mars: The Warriors of the Faith)
Sixth Sphere (Jupiter: The Just Rulers)
Seventh Sphere (Saturn: The Contemplatives)
Eighth Sphere (The Fixed Stars: Faith, Hope, and Love)
Ninth Sphere (The Primum Mobile: The Angels)
The special, final level of Paradise, completely different from all the others is the Empyrean, the abode of God himself. (And in fact all the souls of the Saved are allowed to reside here in a breathtaking amphitheatre shaped like a perfect rose, with a depthless lake of light at its centre. This light is the divine illumination of God himself, bathing the holy rose of the Community of God in infinite love and goodness. This is the Beatific Vision proclaimed by the Catholic Church, and which it alone claims to be able to deliver: “There is no salvation outside the Church.”)
Note that Purgatory and Paradise have a (9 + 1) structure whereas Hell has the reverse (1 + 9), showing that it is the inverse of the divine order.

Cato the Younger and Cato the Elder:
The Younger.
Cato the Younger is one of those remarkable figures from history about whom there is little popular knowledge. He was an ardent supporter of the Roman Republic and an advocate of Stoicism. He was tenacious and stubborn to a fault, refusing to give in or bow to the prevailing political winds. He was a superb orator thanks to his authenticity and fierce convictions that always shone through. In an age of endemic corruption, he was renowned for his moral integrity, his refusal to take bribes and his loathing for the sleaze and venality all around him. Obviously, he wasn’t much of a politician – no one with principles ever succeeds in the political cesspool.
It’s remarkable how similar ancient Rome seems to modern Washington D.C. The American political class is as corrupt and power-craving as their ancient Roman equivalent, and equally obsessed with the popularism and control afforded by “bread and circuses”.
Cato chose to live exceptionally modestly, and even subjected himself to a harsh physical regime of strenuous exercise, extreme cold and rain (wearing nothing but a tunic) and a meagre, inexpensive diet. He ate just enough to live on, and drank only the cheapest wine. This was despite the fact that he was from a privileged background and could afford to live in luxury. This attitude to life was instilled in him by his devotion to Stoicism and also the stern, ascetic record of public service of his family.
An enemy of Caesar in the Civil War, Cato took his own life rather than surrender to the man he regarded as a tyrant. Due to an injured hand, his initial suicide attempt was bungled, and Plutarch relates the hideous aftermath: “Cato did not immediately die of the wound; but struggling, fell off the bed, and throwing down a little table that stood by, made such a noise that the servants, hearing it, cried out. And immediately his son and all his friends came into the chamber, where, seeing him lie weltering in his own blood, great part of his bowels out of his body, but himself still alive and able to look at them, they all stood in horror. The physician went to him, and would have put in his bowels, which were not pierced, and sewed up the wound; but Cato, recovering himself, and understanding the intention, thrust away the physician, plucked out his own bowels, and tearing open the wound, immediately expired.”
They don’t make them like that anymore!
According to Plutarch, Caesar, who had great admiration for his foe (matched by contempt), remarked: “Cato, I grudge you your death, as you would have grudged me the preservation of your life.”
Dante appointed Cato the guardian of the approach to Mount Purgatory (and thence to spiritual freedom in Paradise) because of his devotion to political freedom.
******
The Elder.
Cato’s great-grandfather was another famous Roman, known to history as Cato the Elder (or Cato the Censor).
His personal motto was “delenda est Carthago” (“Carthage must be Destroyed), with which he concluded all of his speeches, no matter what subject he was speaking on.
The Roman expression “He is a Cato” signified that a person lived a simple life, had self-denying rather than self-indulgent habits, was zealously committed to strict justice, was blunt of speech, brusque of manners and didn’t suffer fools gladly – all of these being characteristics of Cato the Censor. A byword for austerity and Puritanism, Cato constantly advocated a return to simpler, purer, nobler and more honourable times. In his role of Censor, he was always on the lookout for moral laxity and blamed the increasing Greek influence over Roman culture for many of the Republic’s problems. He was disgusted by the dissolute, pampered ways of the rich and fearlessly condemned anyone, no matter their status and power.
His great-grandson, Cato the Younger, was in the same mould, being famous for his obstinacy and rectitude which earned him the epithet of “conscience of Rome.”
The two Catos might be characterised as miserable kill-joys, but every healthy nation needs such people to uphold standards and resist the inevitable degeneration, corruption, decadence and “race to the bottom” that we see all too often in the lax nations of the capitalist West.
__________
The Celestial Hierarchy:
Dante equated the nine crystal spheres with the nine orders of angels that were said to exist according to the study of medieval angelology:
First, Innermost Sphere = Moon = ordinary Angels
Second Sphere = Mercury = Archangels
Third Sphere = Venus = Princedoms
Fourth Sphere = Sun = Powers
Fifth Sphere = Mars = Virtues
Sixth Sphere = Jupiter = Dominions
Seventh Sphere = Saturn = Thrones
Eighth Sphere = Fixed Stars = Cherubim
Ninth, Outermost Sphere = Primum Mobile = Seraphim
The Empyrean beyond the Ninth Sphere = utter stillness and perfect peace.
This is the abode of God. In the Empyrean, virtue replaces space and time as the organising principle.
By linking physical heavens and angelic orders, Dante brought together material and spiritual existence in one perfect correspondence.
Note that the physical spheres count outwards from the Moon, while the angelic spheres count inwards from the Primum Mobile. There is therefore an inverse relationship. The highest angels – the Seraphim – are closest to God but furthest from humanity.
__________
Angels:
“The lower intelligences have their effect as it were from a radiating body, and, after the fashion of mirrors, reflect the rays of the higher to the one below them.” –Dante
Angels are like celestial mirrors that reflect divine light. The highest created beings, they are above humans on the ladder of being and they are associated with pure reason and contemplation. For Dante, they are perfect actualisation, being free of both matter and potentiality. This was a heretical idea since Thomas Aquinas asserted that only God is “actus purus” (pure actualisation).
Angels are said to enjoy an uninterrupted vision of God and this led Dante to believe that angels have no memory. Their concentration is always on God and they are therefore in an eternal blissful now, hence have no need of memory.
Abrahamism promotes the view that God created two types of intelligence, represented in two different kinds of beings: angels and humans. Angels receive the revelation of God directly, while humans have to work towards it laboriously, step by step.
Using the vocabulary of Neoplatonism, we might say that angels have minds based on intuitive Nous where thinking takes places at once in many parallel tracks. Humans, on the other hand, are guided by single-track, linear thinking based on the Psyche.
Angels and humans therefore differ according to the degree of their intuition. The more intuitive you are, the more angelic you are, and the closer to gnosis. The degree of your intuition might be said to be a measure of the state of your soul. People who are lacking in intuition are much nearer to animals than angels. Sensing types are highly materialistic. They are mired in the sensations of the world and their minds make no contact with the supra-sensual domain of the divine. So, are you a sensing or intuitive type? How close are you to the angels?
In Dante’s scheme, angels represent pure being. These angels don’t have free will or memory (which rather begs the question of how any of them managed to rebel against God as an act of free will – did God contrive the rebellion himself – you wouldn’t put it past him, would you?). Rather, the angels eternally contemplate God and reflect his will, and not their own, at all times.
We might say that the angels belong to the imperishable domain of pure being described by the ancient Greek philosopher Parmenides, while humanity belongs to the mortal domain of becoming described by Heraclitus. Here we see a typical ancient theme: being = perfection; becoming = imperfection. The formula of the Illuminati is that there is no such thing as pure being and everything is becoming perfect.
The Angelic Fall produced three classes of angels:
1) The angels that actively rebelled against God went to Hell.
Fallen angels are called “devils” whereas “demons” are malignant spirits that were always evil; they never fell from grace, they never knew God or lived in Heaven. Strictly speaking, devils cannot leave Hell (though Satan and several others seemed to manage it without too much trouble), but demons are free to come and go to Earth and Hell at will since they are not bound by the sacred laws of Hell that apply to the fallen angels. In this view, demons are the force of evil we experience in this world, though they may be carrying out the instructions of the devils in Hell. It is sometimes said that demons, unlike devils, were not directly created by God. But didn’t God create all things, and all souls in particular? If God didn’t create demons, who did? Doesn’t that point to a source of creation independent of God and which can create evil directly as an active force in its own right? Theologians are silent on such matters.
2) The lukewarm angels who neither supported nor opposed Satan’s rebellion but waited to see which way the wind was blowing.
These are angels without a cause who act only out of self-interest. They are “neutrals” who don’t take sides until the matter is already decided. These are the Ignavi and they are condemned to be in neither in Hell nor Heaven. They don’t make it to Hell proper but instead hang around Hell’s vestibule. They are separated from Limbo, the first circle of Hell, by the infernal river Acheron and its ghostly ferryman Charon. Since all angels are directly created by God, one must conclude that he’s rather a fuck-up when it comes to creating his own servants, never mind humanity. No wonder things turned out so badly on Earth since they were already shit in Heaven.
3) The good angels who stayed loyal to God.
These are as perfect as the day they were first created. Unlike humanity, they don’t have to become perfect in order to join God: they already are. The purpose of the material world is to support, reform and educate the souls of men and bring them to the light of perfection. The rather boring good angels on the other hand devote nearly all of their time to the work of eternal praise. Doesn’t God ever get fed up with being praised all the time? Isn’t there more to life? The angels are sometimes allowed to desist from praise for a while and help to educate humanity. They have three basic functions: pandering to God’s ego via endless praise, transmitting his spiritual intelligence to humanity, and executing his will in the physical sphere. To that extent, they duplicate many of the functions of the Holy Spirit. Dante was one of those who subscribed to the view that human beings were planned by God as a replacement for the fallen angels. We will be the risen angels!
The Aristotelian-Ptolemaic universe was eagerly embraced by Abrahamism not only because it was a compatible with a Creationist perspective but also that it seemed to support the existence of angels. Given that angels are frequently mentioned in Abrahamic texts, it was essential to have a cosmological model that gave them a plausible place.
Before the Fall of Man (following the Fall of Angels!), human beings were rather like a new species of angel. Their bodies were perfect, incorruptible and deathless. In fact, if Adam and Eve had never sinned and always dutifully obeyed and praised God, it’s hard to see how they could have been distinguished from angels. It’s equally hard to understand what the function of humanity is. Why weren’t angels enough for God? Why did he need to create humanity too, especially since, in the first hours of the Garden of Eden, there seemed to be no measurable difference between Adam and Eve and the angels?
Dante, in the Paradiso, describes nine fiery rings whirling around a central point of intense, ineffable light: these are the nine orders of angels, eternally circling God.
God, for Dante, is of course the Christian Trinity. At the end of his epic journey, Dante finally sees three circles of light in one. He describes the second divine circle as a reflected rainbow cast by the first, and the third as a fire breathed by the first two.
“Within Its depthless clarity of substance
I saw the Great Light shine into three circles
in three colours bound in one same space;
the first seemed to reflect the next like rainbow
on rainbow, and the third was like a flame
equally breathed forth by the other two.”
–Dante
Dante’s masterpiece ends with the words:
“I felt my will and my desire impelled
By the Love that moves the sun and the other stars.”
Dante places love at the centre of all, as the source of movement and life itself. Dante’s work is a supreme triumph of the human imagination and one of the greatest feats ever accomplished by the human mind.

“The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.” –Pindar
700 years ago, religion made much more sense to people than it does now. It was part of a coherent worldview linking all of the knowledge of the world then available, including the science and cosmology of the time. Religion nowadays seems rather ridiculous because the modern paradigm of scientific materialism has destroyed the link between humanity and the divine order.
To be religious in the past wasn’t stupid; now it is. The religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have been comprehensively refuted.
This book explores the ancient Greek and medieval cosmology that supported the view that Earth was specially created by God. The “crystal spheres” of the heavens, with Earth at the centre, were beautiful, wondrous and inspiring. They fitted in perfectly with ideas of spirituality, angels and astrology.
Dante’s “Divine Comedy” of the early 14th century cannot be bettered in terms of its astonishing portrayal of Creation. No one in Dante’s time could seriously have doubted that the universe was designed this way. It was a state-of-the-art, integrated religious, scientific, cosmological and artistic vision which he presented.
Only with Copernicus and then Thomas Digges did the old religious worldview collapse. Yet humanity goes on believing in religions that are now demonstrably false. Even though humanity has never known more than it does now, and most people have a basic education, yet legions of people still believe in formally refuted ideas. In Dante’s time, it would have been mad for the ordinary person not to believe in a Creator. Now it would be mad to believe in one. Why are so many human beings so mad?
This book is an exploration of why mainstream religion made perfect sense seven hundred years ago but not now. You can’t go on believing ideas that have been categorically refuted. The book examines Dante’s “Divine Comedy”, John Milton’s “Paradise Lost”, Islamic cosmology, ancient Greek cosmology, Kabbalah, and myths about Heaven and Hell.
This is one of a series of books by the Pythagorean Illuminati, designed to reveal the absurdity and untenability of the Abrahamic religions in the modern scientific era.

A Book Review:
“This is a book from a series of books by the Pythagorean Illuminati. The books in this series are excellent and life changing. The Pythagorean Illuminati are an ancient secret society of rational free thinkers. The great polymath Pythagoras was the first official grand master of the order.
The goal of the Illuminati is and always has been to change this world from the insane, miserable, hell hole it is for so many humans and non-humans into a just, altruistic, rational world where humanity can finally actualize its full potential.
The Illuminati are not scary boogeymen as the crazy, right wing conspiracy theorists would have you believe.
The Illuminati are philosophers, mathematicians, scientists, artists, musicians, technologists, futurologists, filmmakers, and radicals. Some of the greatest, most creative geniuses in history have been members of the Illuminati, these people include: Hegel, Weishaupt, Leibniz, Plato, Goethe, Hypatia, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, and many others. These books are for serious people who want, more than anything, to rescue ourselves and change this world into what we know it has the potential to be. If this isn’t your goal, then you shouldn’t waste your time on these books. If, on the other had, this goal is on your mind everyday then these are the books for you and you should read them all asap. You should also check out the Illuminati’s websitewww.armageddonconspiracy.c
Every book in this series is very well written and filled with unique, thought-provoking information. The Illuminati have integrated philosophy, mathematics, science, politics, history, sociology, psychology, religion and the paranormal into what scientists have been searching for but have been unable to discover: A Grand Unified Theory of Everything. These books flow in and out of all of these subjects in a very readable way that reflects the intrinsic connections of the subjects. The writers have a writing style that keeps you on your toes. This style of writing makes some of the more challenging information much easier to grasp. These books do not read like academic text books but are written with passion and that passion rubs off on the reader. You will constantly find yourself wanting to read just one more page.
“The Crystal Spheres of the Illuminati” will take you on a journey through the history and cosmology of many different religions and philosophies. You will learn about Dante Alighieri’s and John Milton’s epic poems “Divine Comedy” and “Paradise Lost”. The Illuminati will give you information on both Dante and Milton that you won’t find anywhere else. You will learn about the cosmologies of various philosophers and religions including the bizarre and backwards cosmologies of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that billions of people, to this day, still believe in.
This book along with the rest of this series sets the stage for the Illuminati’s new series of books called “The God Series”. “The God Series” is releasing, for the first time into the public domain, the Illuminati’s Grand Unified Theory of Everything. I feel that having an understanding of all of the Illuminati’s previous material will make “The God Series” much more enjoyable and easier to understand. Always remember though, these books are not just to be read, their purpose is to change the world. Read them all but more importantly figure out what skills you have to help make this change happen, then go out and get active!” –BG

The Profound Mystery of Time:
If time is grounded in imaginary space and there are three dimensions of imaginary space then doesn’t that mean that time is three dimensional rather than the single dimensional arrow of time that we experience? We can never travel backwards or sideways or up and down in time…we just go forward.
But is that true? Physicists say that superluminal particles would be perceived by us to go backwards in time, so, in theory at least, it’s possible for time to have a reverse direction. But Einstein’s equations of special relativity actually indicate that superluminal particles would experience “imaginary” time, but no scientist knows what that is. There’s actually a huge problem with defining what time is in scientific equations, and what its negative might be. Is “negative” time simply -t compared with it? But what about imaginary time and negative imaginary time: it and -it? Where do they fit in? And what if time is actually complex and has a real part and an imaginary part? What then? Science doesn’t have a clue about any of this. Time is always handled as an ill-defined “bodge”; it seems to work (more by accident than design), but there’s no firm theoretical foundation for it.
Why does it work at all? Time is regarded as a one-dimensional scalar quantity. It has a magnitude and, in our experience, it goes one way only – forward. But consider distance. A straight line between two points is a one-dimensional scalar. But if we have drawn a straight line in a 3D space then its two ends may have x, y and z coordinates such as (3, 4, 7) and (10, 2, 8) i.e. it is now actually a vector (a directional line) in 3D space and not just any old line. But, in real life, its magnitude may be all that really matters to us. If we have to walk ten kilometres over flat land from one place to another, it is the distance travelled that will matter to us. We won’t be aware of how the x, y and z coordinates constantly change as we move; the vector elements are almost irrelevant. Obviously, we need to be walking in the right direction to reach our desired destination, but once that is established, it is the magnitude that preoccupies us. Time is treated as a scalar but is actually a vector, exactly like distance. We just don’t notice its vector aspects.
In 6D(3r3i), it is possible to go forwards/backwards, left/right, up/down. Exactly the same is true of imaginary space, hence of time. In 6D(3r3i) space, positive and negative space, and imaginary and negative imaginary space, can all be defined. By the same token, positive and negative time, and imaginary and negative imaginary time can all be defined. A proper scientific theory of everything needs to be able to clearly distinguish between all of these different cases. Many scientific equations involve taking the square root, but a square root always has a positive and negative solution for both real and imaginary numbers. Often, science only accepts one solution as real: the positive root of a real number. Everything else is discarded as unreal. Yet Einstein’s special theory of relativity and the quantum mechanical treatment of “antimatter” show how wrong this approach is. The world is enormously more complex. It’s no wonder that scientists haven’t got a clue what dark matter and dark energy are since, on the whole, they have rejected all of the “unreal” solutions where these mysterious entities are unquestionably lurking. The cosmos is not ruled by real and imaginary numbers (the extreme cases), but by the numbers in-between: the complex numbers that have both a real and imaginary component. Science, again by accident more than design, has found equations that actually deal effectively with complex numbers, but scientists are unaware of why their equations actually work. After all, they have no idea what the core dimensionality of the cosmos is. According to relativists, the cosmos is a 4D spacetime continuum. According to M theorists, it is an 11D spacetime with 10 spatial dimensions (seven of which are “folded” into practically nothing, hence why we can’t see them!) and one of time. Is it any wonder quantum mechanics can’t be reconciled with the general theory of relativity (concerning gravity)? How can the two theories be blended if they can’t define something as basic as dimensionality? We have no doubt at all that if relativists and M-theorists both start using 6D(3r3i), many of the difficulties in merging the two theories will vanish.
Another point worth mentioning is what we mean by “going back in time”. If I truly travel back in time by, say, ten years then it means that I go back to who I was and where I was ten years ago, and everything that happened to me in the interim is erased. However, most people think that time travel means going back to the past but in their present condition and state of knowledge. The two situations are entirely different.
In the former case, time has truly been reversed. In the second case, it hasn’t been reversed at all because the time traveller’s consciousness is still GOING FORWARD in time.
Going forward in time actually means that INFORMATION always increases. To go back in time would imply the erasure of INFORMATION and that can never happen. This is why we experience time as always going forward even though it is actually three dimensional like space. It is INFORMATION FLOW that has only one direction in time. Our consciousness, hence our experience of time, is linked to this information flow, not to time itself. We can’t go back in time in terms of reversing time (erasing information). If we could experience the time of ten years ago, but with our present knowledge, then we would still be going forward in time in terms of information. Such is the mystery of time.
Time needs to be completely re-examined in philosophical, religious and scientific terms. The 6D(3r3i) paradigm provides the only mathematically, scientifically and philosophically coherent framework in which to define and analyze time.
It’s time for a scientific revaluation of all values!

The Profound Mystery of Schrödinger’s Quantum Mechanical Wave Equation:
Schrodinger’s wave equation is one of the most important in physics. If you look it up, you will discover that it has the imaginary number right at its heart. What’s that there for? How does it make any sense in the “real” world (of real numbers)?
No physicist actually knows why it’s there. They simply know that it works. But we know the reason – it’s precisely because of 6D(3r3i) space. The imaginary dimensions are every bit as “real” and important as the real dimensions. Quantum mechanical particles need to be handled with 6D complex numbers (with real and imaginary parts). Schrodinger’s equation achieves this by incorporating the imaginary number along with real components, but Schrodinger, and every other scientist, has never been able to account for why the imaginary number is essential to quantum particles. We have now given the reason: 6D(3r3i) complete mathematics requires it.
All quantum “weirdness” stems from the fact that these tiny, almost massless particles are whizzing around in 6D(3r3i) space rather than 3D real space, and are fluttering in and out of the null zone that exists outside space and time (hence these particles can seem to be in two or more places at once). This is the “physical” model of what is actually taking place at the quantum level, a subject that has hitherto baffled all scientists, who have never been able to form any kind of picture of what is taking place. Once again, 6D(3r3i) provides the decisive breakthrough.
The famous Einstein Podolsky Rosen paradox concerning instantaneous communication between correlated particles separated by enormous distances is explained with consummate ease: the particles are linked outside space and time via the null zone which links all points in the cosmos. Simple stuff! Yet it has defied the greatest scientific minds for decades.
M-theory will never work because scientists are groping their way forward without actually knowing what they’re doing and without having any logical conceptual framework in which to work. They are continually changing their ideas to suit the latest experimental data, rather than logically working out what NEEDS to be true. Over and over again, scientists manage to find good equations, but they never really know why they work, just that they do. That’s why there are so many rival interpretations of what quantum mechanics means in terms of reality. That debate should end thanks to the 6D(3r3i) space of complete mathematics.
******
The complete mathematical space 6D(3r3i) provides the framework for the Grand Unified Theory of Everything. Everything that can happen, happens within this space. One way of thinking about the cosmos is to consider a single point and its relationship with the infinite number of other points in the cosmos. The point we choose will be separated by a certain distance from each of these infinite other points. There are only three possible types of distance it can experience: a “real” separation, an “imaginary” separation” or a null (zero) separation. That’s it. Nothing else can happen. The same is true for every point in the cosmos. If we want the simplest possible way of thinking about the cosmos it is this: energy moves from point to point and as it does so it crosses a real distance, an imaginary distance or no distance at all. This staggeringly simple model describes everything that can ever happen in the cosmos from a scientific standpoint. All the complexity we see around us is simply the manifestation of what happens when energy, spread across an infinity of points, moves around from one point to another within that infinite matrix – the ultimate cosmic game of Musical Chairs except no chairs are ever removed and the music never stops.
The null zone – where distinct points are separated by no distance – is the key to the whole edifice. Here, and here alone, time and space do not exist. Dimensionality disappears. Movement occurs, and yet no distance is ever traversed. Everything here is interconnected, interpenetrating, flowing over and into each other endlessly. This is the extraordinary domain of the mind, the soul, the afterlife, God. It is the dazzling domain of light.
It is this null zone that underlies the Buddhist conception of nirvana – the underlying Oneness where everything is interconnected and where the individual is “extinguished”. He enters into union with Zero, with nullity, so to speak. And also with infinity since the null zone is as strongly associated with infinity as its twin zero. So, Buddhists must be congratulated. Nirvana is certainly an enlightened concept that expresses much of the essence of the null zone. Equally, the Hindu concept of Brahman, the universal soul, the eternal, infinite, immanent, transcendent reality and ground of all being can be equated with the null zone, so Hindus too must be congratulated. Nirvana and Brahman both lie beyond the “veil of illusion”, which we can equate with the r > 0 physical cosmos, the cosmos where distances between points are real or imaginary, but not zero. As for Taoism, the Tao is the ultimate creative principle of the universe in which all things are unified and connected: again, this is strikingly like the null zone.
Buddhism and Hinduism, if they dropped their allegiance to the idiotic concept of karma, would be truly enlightened, and close to the fundamental truth of existence. Taoism is arguably one step closer already to Illumination since it avoids karmic thinking.
Only Abrahamism, with its laughable idea of God being external to the universe rather than at the centre of it, is truly deluded and ignorant. Abrahamists – Jews, Christians and Muslims – could not be further from the truth. Their holy books are a philosophical, religious, scientific and mathematical joke. Their holy prophets are liars, madmen, idiots, clowns, frauds, fools, fakers, charlatans, warmongers, fanatics and deceivers. The Abrahamists are the forces of darkness, utterly estranged from the light.
It’s time for an end to all the mumbo jumbo, hocus pocus and mysticism. We have provided, as we promised we would, the framework in which all the issues of religion, philosophy, science and mathematics can be treated in a comprehensive, unified, integrated manner. Science and religion do not describe two separate universes, and “never the twain shall meet” (so to speak). Rather, there is only one universe. Science and religion come at the same problem from two different angles, but they are dealing with exactly the same problem, not completely separate ones. If religion does not or cannot specify the mathematical and scientific framework in which it is said to manifest itself then it’s not worth a cent. It’s literally nothing but madness and delusion into which human fantasy will flow unopposed, completely disconnected from reality and truth. That is the essence of the Abrahamic religions of faith. If your starting premises have no basis in fact then you can literally believe anything. None of it will make any contact with the truth.
Only the framework we have provided allows a proper consideration of religion. Only this framework links it indissolubly with science, philosophy and mathematics. Religion has nothing whatsoever to do with faith. Religion is a special type of science that operates fully within the scientific framework. We have shown that religion is the province of the null zone where time and space do not apply – where everything endures forever. The part of us that exists in the null zone cannot die; we have a guaranteed afterlife.
Descartes described the mind as being without “extension”. In the null zone, we have exactly that extensionless domain of mind. Panpsychism asserts that mind is everywhere. We have seen that every point in existence is indeed connected to the null zone, so mind is omni-present. Enlightened religions talk of everything being interconnected. We have demonstrated that this is true within the null zone. Enlightened religions say that we can enter into union with God. Again, the null zone provides this precise possibility. All psychic and paranormal phenomena are mediated through this “magic” zone of cosmic interconnectivity. We haven’t even begun to tap into the extraordinary powers that reside within this zone, the zone that can convert us into gods.
Have we not provided the entry point to all the mysteries of the cosmos? Have we not provided the Solomon Key?
Illumination is the only truly valid religion. It is the only religion based on science, mathematics, philosophy, logic, and reason. It is a religion of knowledge, not faith. The Eastern religions are pale imitations. The Abrahamic religions are preposterous. Atheism is the quasi-religious worship of scientific materialism. Agnosticism is for people who are paralysed by doubt, indecision and lack of knowledge. To access the truth, you don’t have to take any “leap of faith”. You simply have to think.
The adherents of Illumination are incredibly loyal. Why? Because they have at last found what they were always looking for – the one, true religion that avoided all the ridiculous bullshit of all the rest. It is not a “finished” religion. It’s a dialectical religion, always making itself more perfect, always embracing new knowledge and new insights. It is never out of date. It is not frozen in time like Abrahamism which gets less and less relevant with every passing day. All the followers of Illumination can contribute to its development. There are no prophets and no holy texts. Ideas are adopted according to their merit. Illuminism is all about meritocracy. The smartest, most meritorious make the biggest contributions.
Ten Grand Masters are singled out by the Illuminati because they are the ones who made the most meritorious contributions. One of them – Simon Magus – is accorded special status because he achieved gnosis before his death and become a man-God. His is the example that all Illuminists seek to emulate. But Simon Magus was not the intellectual driving force of Illuminism. That honour falls to the likes of Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Leibniz and Hegel. Nor was he the most revolutionary and political – that honour falls to Adam Weishaupt. The most creative and artistic was Goethe. The greatest showmen were Pythagoras and Empedocles.
Solomon, Pythagoras and Empedocles had almost the same extraordinary powers as Simon the Magician. Hypatia, the only woman in the list, was extraordinarily intelligent, beautiful, charismatic, dignified, and courageous. Her philosophical, mathematical and scientific knowledge were profound, and she sought to overcome the opposition of Christian fanatics with peace, love, logic and reason – only to be brutally and horrifically martyred by the diabolical, evil Christians.
******
We, the Illuminati have glimpsed the Mind of God. Now we want to become God. Our sign is the truth, and in that sign we shall surely conquer. Ours is the religion for the past, the present and the future. For then, now and forever. Ours is the religion dialectically perfecting itself. It is “complete” only when it attains its Omega Point…when every Illuminatus has become God.

The notorious medieval theological question – “How many angels can dance on the point of a needle?” – can actually be regarded as the precursor of modern discussions of quantum physics and Einstein’s special theory of relativity. Thomas Aquinas said that angels and human souls are without matter (incorporeal) i.e. they are rather like massless photons. He also said that angels, being pure spirits, are not, strictly speaking, in any place – they have no specific location, which again is like photons that exist in the null zone, which are everywhere at once. He declared that they are in the place, or places, where they exercise their activity, which is a rather clever definition that could equally be said of photons. An angel, according to Aquinas, does not pass from place to place. It could exercise its activity first in Italy and then in Germany in two instants (of angelic time), without travelling through the intervening space. This sounds like a quantum particle entering the null zone at one instant and exiting somewhere else completely different in the universe at the next quantum instant. Aquinas contends that many angels cannot be said to be in the same place at the same time for this would suggest that they could be producing the same effect at the same time. There can only be one angel in one place at one time. However quantum physics argues otherwise. Certain types of particles can indeed produce the same effect at the same time, leading to a massive intensification of an effect at a specific point. This is the case with laser technology, for example.
Nevertheless, Aquinas and other medieval thinkers engaged in a fascinating way with issues that are now frequently debated by top physicists, albeit using different terminology. But isn’t the idea that photons are none other than angels an inspiring one? When the noonday sun blazes down on us, are we being immersed in guardian angels coming from heaven to protect us?

Putting It All Together:
Illuminism has no connection whatsoever with faith. We don’t expect anyone to “believe” a single word of what we have said. Our religion has no time for those who cling to Holy Scripture and the words of dead prophets. All faith-based religious statements are intrinsically absurd and quintessentially UNBELIEVABLE. That’s the supreme irony of the Abrahamic religions. They are all about belief, yet no one with a brain and power of rational thought could ever believe them.
We have presented Illuminism as a set of philosophical, religious, mathematical and scientific statements. Slowly but surely we have constructed the edifice that everyone can now see for themselves. We have quoted no holy books of Illuminism that you must accept without question; we have quoted no prophets of Illuminism whom you must believe utterly or suffer eternal hellfire.
Every statement we have made is capable of being analysed and challenged. If you think you can improve Illuminism, go for it! Illuminism is a dialectical religion; it is perfecting itself, just as the cosmos itself is. That is the fundamental nature of the dialectic.
The following are the essential points of Illuminism, the logical premises by which it stands or falls:
1) Q. What is the arche, the fundamental substance of existence?
A. It is “minded”, formless, striving, dimensionless energy – Pure Will. Since it is dimensionless, it does not experience the “mortal” dimensions of space and time, hence is immortal. It has always existed and it will always exist. It is existence itself. It can never not exist. It accords with the First law of Thermodynamics which declares that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It cannot be brought into existence and nor can it be removed from existence; it has simply always existed. But, crucially, it can be transformed. Its quality can be improved until it’s perfect.
2) Q. How does the formless arche attain form?
A. Through the only thing that can provide absolute order, organization, system, stability, pattern, logic – mathematics, the queen of the sciences, the sacred science. Nothing else exists that can accomplish what mathematics can. It is the ONLY candidate for providing cosmic form, law and organized behaviour.
3) Q. In that case, where does mathematics come from? How is the cosmos able to understand mathematics?
A. Mathematics is in fact the surest proof of cosmic mind and intelligence. It is absurd to propose as materialistic science does, that mindless matter is miraculously able to organize itself in a host of complex ways according to the “laws of physics”. No scientist has ever explained where the laws of physics come from and how they are possible. Why those laws and not others? Why any laws at all? Why not eternal randomness and chaos? Why should matter be subject to law at all? Why should matter have any connection with mathematics? In fact, the cosmos “learned” mathematics over many eons by nothing more sophisticated than trial and error, evolutionary natural selection and dialectical progression: the principles that have guided all existence since time immemorial. The cosmos in itself – dimensionless energy – continually “spilled” out of itself into dimensionality. It is the nature of Will never to be “contained”. It will always try to reach beyond itself. This was a haphazard process since dimensionality is mathematical and mathematics did not yet exist in any coherent way. Each time Will entered the domain of partial, incomplete dimensionality, it learned some new item of mathematical information. After countless “experiments”, the Will had learned to count and understand geometrical shapes. Not in any conscious sense – more like the ultimate autistic savant. Its grasp of mathematics was strictly intuitive.
Mathematics was the first language ever learned by the cosmos; it is thereby the fundamental language of existence. It is the basis of all order and thought, of logic and reason, of mind, of consciousness. It is the essential framework providing the categories of understanding. It is the sine qua non. Mathematics can be considered as the true version of the Platonic Forms: eternal, perfect, unchanging, existing in a permanent ideal state to which the whole cosmos has access. They were not given to the cosmos as perfect Forms; rather they dialectically evolved and when they reached their Omega Point they were subject to no further change; they had achieved perfection and completion. Plato’s domain of perfect Forms is the domain of mathematics and it is now hard-wired into the cosmos (we might say that this domain is stored in the core memory of the cosmic mind, the Read-Only memory, to use a computing term.) The Will learned through its endless experimentation that only “complete” mathematics is stable and provides a proper framework for organization and order: all of Plato’s mathematical Forms must be used, not an incomplete subset. And so came the miraculous moment when the r = 0 dimensionless cosmos of mind deliberately poured itself out into the r > 0 dimensional cosmos, according to a perfect intuitive understanding of complete mathematics as eternal Platonic Forms. Formlessness flowed through the domain of mathematical Forms and emerged in the myriad forms we observe in Nature. Plato’s mathematical Forms are the origins of the laws of physics that shape the world we observe around us. They dictated the creation of the material world. This supreme, defining event was none other than the Big Bang itself.
4) It is essential for the cosmos to externalise itself, to physicalize itself, to alienate itself, in order to dialectically overcome that alienation and reach self consciousness. The teleological purpose of the cosmos is precisely that: to attain self-consciousness, to actualise all of the latent powers, potential and possibilities of raw mind. No scientist has ever explained how mind originates in dead, mindless matter. The truth is that the arche is alive and minded and always has been. There is no dualism between life and death, between mind and non-mind, between consciousness and non-consciousness. Everything exists on a continuum of actualisation of life, mind and consciousness. Humans have more of it (more actualisation) than plants which have more of more of it than rocks which have more of it than interstellar dust. The cosmos is based on monism, not dualism. To be precise, it is a dialectical monism. All dualistic systems – those based on two radically different concepts such as mind/matter, death/life, consciousness/
5) Mathematical dialectical monism based on complete mathematics provides the answer to Leibniz’s requirement that the best account of the world is the one that is “simplest in hypotheses and the richest in phenomena.” Complete mathematics achieves precisely this. Nothing else could accomplish this with the same simplicity, consistency, efficiency and elegance. In fact nothing else is even conceivable.
6) Complete mathematics also addresses Leibniz’s fundamental question of why there is something rather than nothing. “Nothing” – zero – is something. It is a mathematical number, one of the complete set; in fact it’s at the very origin of the complete set. Complete mathematics asserts that all numbers have equal “reality”, hence zero is as real, has as much existence, as any other number. Zero can be defined as 1/∞. So, already, we can see that it is something and not nothing. In fact, any finite number divided by infinity equals zero. Zero is the twin of infinity – the other side of the coin, the flip side, the inverse – and contains all numbers. The question why is there something rather than nothing is really an implicit acknowledgement of the stance of scientific materialism that dimensionless existence is impossible.
To an idealist who rejects materialism, the question should be reformulated as: is it possible for mind/thinking not to exist? Could there ever have been a time when there was no thought? If so, what caused the first thought and indeed what was the first thought? And if something caused the first thought then the precursor of thought must always have existed since how could thought or its essential precursor have sprung out of absolute nothingness? But if thought or its precursor has always existed then “something” has always existed. Pure nothingness is quite simply impossible. And when we understand the indissoluble relationship between nothing and infinity, we see why. Everything is implicit in nothing. Infinity can pour forth from nothing. “Nothing” is defined with regard to the finite divided by the infinite i.e. it is finite “something” divided by infinite “something”. It is not defined with regard to nothing. No definition of nothing can ever be formulated. It is an impossible state. It cannot exist. Pure nothingness is outside the scope of complete mathematics, hence cannot have “reality”. Scientists who talk of a “free lunch” universe assert that the overall energy of the universe is zero because the positive mass-energy of the cosmos is exactly balanced by the negative gravitational energy i.e. something came from nothing but only because something is always implicit in nothing, and because somethings can have opposite signs and cancel each other out, leaving zero on the one hand and an infinity of balanced energy on the other.
The cosmos at the “scientific” level may be considered as energy moving through a complete mathematical space where the distance between any two points can be zero, real (positive or negative) or imaginary (positive or negative). The zero zone, the “null” zone, is outside space and time. The imaginary zone is what relativity describes as “timelike”, and the real zone as “spacelike”. We exist in the timelike zone where no speed ever exceeds light speed. In the spacelike zone, no speed can ever fall below light speed. But note the fundamental asymmetry: subluminal speeds go from zero to the finite speed of light (as measured in space-time reference frames), while superluminal speeds go from the finite speed of light all the way to infinity. All symmetry-breaking phenomena deserve the most careful study because it is they that make the cosmos what it is and not just some eternal cancelling out of symmetrical properties where nothing significant would ever evolve. Asymmetry is essential to evolution and teleology.

One of our correspondents – “Zero One” – suggested that the cosmos is eight dimensional: “So, I think, in order for ‘time-space’ to be complete again, we give each one of our four dimensions both real and imaginary parts. Once time-space is completed this way, there is no way going at any speed, faster or slower than light would allow you to ‘break out’ of the space. The answer should be 4 complex dimensions, 3 spatial and 1 temporal. This could also be seen as 8 dimensions if we take the real and imaginary parts as separate dimensions. I hypothesize 8 dimensions, or actually 4 ‘pairs’ of dimensions, in the same way a complex number is a pair of real and imaginary. These 4 pairs are grouped into 3 space-like pairs, and 1 time-like pair, the time-one being not quite like the others, the timepair is ‘flipped’ in a sense. The reason why I proposed 8 is that with the 4Di model, once you attempt to pass ‘light speed’, make it to ‘the other side of the wall’, you break out of 4Di entirely. 8 does not have this problem. It’s ‘complete’ in a sense.”
“Zero One” has correctly seen that the error we committed was to include only one imaginary dimension in our 4Di model, rather than have an imaginary counterpart for each of the three real dimensions. So, congratulations to “Zero One” for perceiving the right way to extend our model. However, he has gone further than he needed to by including time and imaginary time as separate dimensions.
Einstein’s special theory of relativity demonstrates that time and space are different aspects of the same thing. That’s why it’s possible to fuse space and time together into four-dimensional Minkowski space-time. As we saw earlier, time is in fact derived from imaginary space. It’s not a primary dimension, but, rather, a derived, secondary dimension, entirely dependent on imaginary space for its existence. So, despite its importance, it is not one of the core dimensions of the cosmos, and nor is its pair (imaginary time). So-called space-time is, at root, space-imaginary space. The connection between space and time in 4D space-time results from the natural relationship between space and imaginary space. Space and imaginary space are the “same but different”, hence why they are able to interact so smoothly.
In Newtonian physics, space and time were treated as a dualism of two separate, absolute substances: space and time. So, how did they interact? In fact, they didn’t. In Illuminism, space and imaginary space are fused together as two complementary aspects of a mathematical space. There is no mystery at all about their close relationship and how they interact.
The combination of space and imaginary space creates a null zone where light resides. Light flows through this null zone. It can be said to do so at infinite speed since it is everywhere at once. This infinite speed of light in ITS frame of reference outside space and time must be interpreted as a FINITE speed in any space and time frame of reference since space and time automatically impose finitude – which is why a black hole singularity does not tear the cosmos to pieces despite being associated with zero and infinity. The singularity remains safely “contained” within finite space and time. Nothing at all is capable of tearing apart the fabric of space and time. If anything could, the cosmos would certainly self-destruct. That’s the whole point of complete mathematics: it contains everything and it is completely stable (in the cosmic sense) no matter what happens. The cosmos won’t blink out of existence because of the presence of zero and infinity in scientific equations.
The finite speed that light assumes is exactly the same in all spacetime frames of reference. Hence it is the invariant, “natural speed” of the cosmos. Since speed is defined as distance over time, we have found a means of introducing “time” into the 6D(3r3i) mathematical space. Distance divided by speed equals time, just as time multiplied by speed equals distance.
As soon as it is possible to define an invariant cosmic speed, time is conjured into existence. Time is the outcome of movement within a mathematical space. The arche is in eternal motion (otherwise it would be permanently static and nothing would ever happen). If there is motion, hence change, then there must be some kind of time. But time can be defined only if an invariant cosmic speed is defined first. Only via the null zone of 6D(3r3i) space where the motion of light never changes because it is everywhere at once (even though it is moving) can we derive a speed that will manifest in space-time as an invariant speed in any frame; it is thus an absolute, invariant frame of reference in all circumstances, the only one capable of performing this role.
In other words, a consistent interpretation of time is possible only because of 6D(3r3i) null space and the way that light moves in that zone. Without 6D(3r3i) mathematical space, time as we experience it could never exist. Time is a derivation of 6D(3r3i) mathematical space. It is secondary, not primary. It is not a true core dimension.
Since a real number axis and an imaginary number axis can be drawn in a plane to produce the set of so-called “complex” numbers, it occurred to Irish mathematician William Hamilton that perhaps he could define 3-dimensional complex numbers by simply adding another suitably oriented imaginary dimension. However, complex numbers with one real part and two imaginary parts proved resistant to a successful mathematical treatment. The addition of yet another imaginary dimension to create “hypercomplex” 4D complex numbers with one real part and three imaginary parts resolved the problems. These new numbers were called “quaternions”, meaning “a set of four” (its Greek equivalent is the tetraktys!)
A quaternion has one scalar component (w) and three vector components (ix +jy + kz): q = w + ix + jy + kz
The three components of the vector portion are imaginary numbers, just as “ib” is the imaginary number portion of a complex number (c = a + ib, where a is a real number). While complex numbers can be used to algebraically describe rotations in the two-dimensional complex plane, quaternions achieve the same thing for rotations in three-dimensional space defined by the three imaginary axes, i, j, and k.
However, quaternions and various other exotic numbers have thus far only ever found very specialized applications and have not proved the wonder numbers that Hamilton thought they would be. They are actually just a 4D(1r3i) subset of 6D(3r3i) numbers. The fundamental numbers of the cosmos are 6D(3r3i).

The sharp-eyed might object to our entire scheme on the basis of one glaring potential problem. How does Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem fit in? Doesn’t that kill off all schemes that have pretences to completeness? In fact, it is the Completeness Theorem (thesis) harnessed to the Incompleteness Theorem (antithesis) that creates the cosmic synthesis that forms the Grand Unified Theory of Everything. But that is for another day.
******
Finally, returning to Pythagoras’s Law of Harmony, we discover that he has been triumphantly vindicated by quantum physics, some two and half thousand years after his death. The domain of quantum physics is very different from the world of our everyday experience because it is based on discontinuous, grainy, discrete changes.
Imagine that you were driving a new car and that in order to increase your speed from 10 kilometres per hour to 20 kilometres per hour, you put your foot on the accelerator in the usual way. To your amazement, nothing happened for a second or two and your speedometer still stubbornly showed 10. Then, an instant later, it showed 20, without ever having gone through any of the intermediate speeds. Each time you wanted to increase your speed, you could do it only via 10 km per hr increments, and you always had to wait a second or two until the car had enough capacity to make the “jump”. This is how the quantum world functions – through quantum leaps from one state to another, bypassing any of the intermediate states. (But in the quantum world, jumps are instantaneous; they either happen or they don’t – they don’t “build up” to it.)
In other words, in the quantum world, we return to Pythagoras’s beautiful domain of rational numbers, of correct notes, of harmonies. Anything irrational – all the notes of discordance – is excluded, just as Pythagoras would have wished. Why is this? Because of the wave-particle duality of quantum particles. Particles seem to travel as waves and arrive as particles. Waves are of course based on undulations, on peaks and troughs.
When two similar waves come together then if they are in phase with each other the peaks and troughs will be reinforced. But if they are out of phase and the peaks from one wave meet the troughs of another, they will cancel out. Thus only harmonic notes are permitted, and everything else – all the intermediate forms – will be erased. (One might even suggest that the lack of intermediate forms in the fossil record that is used to criticise Darwinian evolutionary theory – i.e. why can’t we see a smooth gradation of fossils clearly showing us how one species morphs into another through genetic mutation? – is also a consequence of harmony: only certain notes are allowed.)
So, if you put your ear to the microscopic world of the invisible and strain ever so slightly, you may start to hear something truly beautiful and inspiring, that lifts your mind and soul to the heavens: Pythagoras’s transcendent Music of the Spheres. The music composed by God!

We previously asked how many dimensions the universe has. We received several answers, including zero, one, five and infinity. All ingenious, but wrong. Here’s one highly imaginative comment we received from a correspondent in Finland:
Here are my calculations.
I was thinking that the universe should have a center somewhere. The zero and the infinite are not proper centres, they are just points through which the circle of existence (negative and/or positive) goes. We need to find the center between these two. The center point between zero and infinity cannot be given any precise location using normal methods to calculate distances. The calculation would be impossible since in mathematics you cannot add or subtract anything from the infinite (or the result would always be infinite).
Therefore we need one more imaginary number. Let’s call it “G”. G marks the imaginary center point between zero and infinity. The Gpoint is also an imaginary dimension, or a portal leading into one, in a same fashion as the zero is the portal between the negative and the positive universes. The G dimension combines the qualities of the zero and the infinite. It cannot be given an exact location, so it’s actually nowhere like the zero. But at the same time its location is infinite, since infinity divided by 2 is still infinity. It is also the communication link between the two, in the same fashion as the zero is the communication link between the negative and positive universes.
Also the G-point is outside of the positive and negative universes, since if you try to give the “middle number” between zero and infinity, you couldn’t define it as either + or -, because zero and infinity are both without polarity. The G-point is also outside of zero and infinity, yet also included in them, since it is the center point, the “average” between them. This “G” would then be the fifth dimension of the universe, uniting the four others. The four elements, earth, water, air and fire united by the fifth element, the spirit. Logical.
Maybe the molecules in the G dimension should be called “spirit molecules” (and light would be the communication method between them)? An ingenious proposal that fits in well with the ancient idea of the Quintessence, but it introduces an utterly speculative mathematical entity. The answer is in fact based on rigorous, existing mathematical knowledge.
So, how many dimensions does the cosmos need to be complete? No scientist has ever asked this basic question. For centuries, they all simply assumed that there were three dimensions of space and one of time, and that these were absolute i.e. had independent existence even if there were no objects in the universe. This is the basis of the enormously successful Newtonian physics paradigm that dominated Western scientific thinking until the advent of electromagnetism, relativity and quantum mechanics. The only person who dared to challenge the Newtonian orthodoxy was the brilliant Illuminatus Leibniz, who described space and time in relational terms. Without any objects in the universe, Leibniz argued, space and time would not exist i.e. they are not mysterious substances but simply ways of describing relations between objects. If someone says that he is sitting in the same seat that he was occupying ten minutes ago he is describing his current space and time coordinates in relation to his previous space and time coordinates. No one ever provides absolute space and time coordinates. How would you even begin? Does the universe have a perfect cosmic clock that has been ticking since the beginning of time that someone can consult? Is there a perfect cosmic map with a dead centre that someone can use to identify their absolute spatial location?
With Einstein came the realisation that space and time were fused together in 4-dimensional spacetime. Even now, virtually no one comprehends the sheer scale of the revolution ushered in by Einstein. Some scientists still assert that Einsteinian physics is merely a development of Newtonian physics. Only people with no grasp of philosophy could make such a stupid statement. Einstein’s theories represent an irrevocable break with the conceptual underpinning of Newtonian physics. As Einstein himself recognized, his ideas fall firmly into the relational, Leibnizian camp.
Yet still we talk of 4 dimensions. Why 4? Why not any other number? Why not the 11 dimensions of M-theory? What is the theoretical basis of any calculation of the number of dimensions the universe must have? No scientist has ever had a clue. So, we received from some brave souls the following answers to our question: 0, 1, 5, 8, 10 and infinite dimensions. We will return to the choice of eight later in the article since this deserves special attention. As for the other choices, zero and infinity were logical “guesses” given that we had been discussing the importance of these two numbers. Five was chosen by a few people for various reasons. For one thing, it fits in well with the idea of the Quintessence, the Fifth Element and the symbol of the pentagram (of great symbolic importance to the Illuminati), hence is suitably mystical and esoteric. The choice of visionary hip hop Pho’ was ten – the number of the Pythagorean tetraktys – and he illustrated it with the following diagram:
http://www.disclose.tv/
Now, this would indeed be the ideal number from the Illuminati’s point of view. At every sunset in the time of Pythagoras, the members of the Illuminati made the declaration: “I swear by him who has revealed to our soul the divine tetraktys.” But, unfortunately, ten is not the right answer. However, Pho’and the rest are in the best of company with their choices. They were seeking a number that was “right” in terms of some principle of beauty, elegance, mystical suitability, or some inherent quality of the number itself that raised it above other numbers. This would be termed a numerological approach to the problem. Pythagoras himself started off using exactly this type of thinking. Consider the following remarks by mathematician Marcus du Sautoy in his book The Music of the Primes:
“The origins of mathematicians’ interest in this infinite sum came from music and went back to a discovery made by the Greeks. Pythagoras was the first to discover the fundamental connection between mathematics and music. He filled an urn with water and banged it with a hammer to produce a note. If he removed half the water and banged the urn again, the note had gone up an octave. Each time he removed more water to leave the urn one-third full, then onequarter full, the notes produced would sound to his ear in harmony with the first note he’d played. Any other notes which were created by removing some other amount of water sounded in dissonance with that original note. There was some audible beauty associated with these fractions. The harmony that Pythagoras had discovered in the numbers 1, ., 1/3, .…made him believe that the whole universe was controlled by music, which is why he coined the expression ‘the music of the spheres.’
“…Ever since Pythagoras’ discovery of an arithmetic connection between mathematics and music, people have compared both the aesthetic and the physical traits shared by the two disciplines…As Pythagoras discovered, it is not just in the aesthetic realm that mathematics and music overlap. The very physics of music has at its root the basis of mathematics. If you blow across the top of a bottle you hear a note. By blowing a little harder, and with a little skill, you can start to hear higher notes – the extra harmonics, the overtones. When a musician plays a note on an instrument they are producing an infinity of additional harmonics, just as you do when you blow across the top of the bottle. These additional harmonics help to give each instrument its own distinctive sound. The physical characteristics of each instrument mean that we hear different combinations of harmonics. In addition to the fundamental note, the clarinet plays only those harmonies produced by odd fractions: 1/3, 1/5, 1/7,…The string of a violin, on the other hand, vibrates to create all the harmonics that Pythagoras produced with his urn – those corresponding to the fractions ., 1/3, .,… “Since the sound of a vibrating violin string is the infinite sum of the fundamental note and all the possible harmonics, mathematicians became intrigued by the mathematical analogue. The infinite sum 1 + . + 1/3 + .… became known as the harmonic series.”
As Du Sautoy indicates, Pythagoras was in thrall to the relationship between music and mathematics. It made perfect aesthetic sense to Pythagoras, a proud and skilled devotee of the lyre, that the universe should be of the nature of some majestic symphony by the Supreme Composer. How elegant, how beautiful, how right! Indeed how could it possibly be otherwise? Music represented order and harmony, the organisation of chaos into something glorious and inspiring, something inherently beautiful that could fill humanity’s souls with the most divine of feelings, that could raise their gaze to the highest things.
“Mathematics and music are God’s languages. When you speak them…you’re speaking directly to God.” –Rebecca Goldstein
So, the Illuminati became the first true students of music, and they sought to understand the Divine Mind as that of a cosmic musician who composed the finest melodies and harmonies, who provided perfect songs for soloists, choirs, orchestras, and for the Dionysian Chorus that gave musical form to the great tales of Greek tragedy. The Illuminati have never abandoned their appreciation of music, which is why we use so much of it on our website. Music, proper music, should be everywhere. Instead, we get shopping mall muzak. Pythagoras taught that the cosmos obeyed a mathematical law called Harmony, which ensured right relations between everything. The essence of harmony is that harmonious numbers can be written as ratios: 1/2, 3/2, 4/3 etc. Such numbers are literally rational. What could be more natural than that the cosmos was rational and harmonious, full of right proportion?
And then Pythagoras made a shattering discovery. Using his own famous theorem that in a right-angled triangle the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, he calculated what the hypotenuse would be for a right-angled triangle with sides one unit long and got the answer √2. No matter how hard he tried, he could not express the hypotenuse in this case as being in harmonious ratio with its sides. In a “3, 4, 5” triangle, the ratio of the respective sides to the hypotenuse could be written as 3/5 and 4/5. But what about 1/√2? Ugly, unacceptable! √2 wasn’t any kind of harmonious number. Instantly, the whole edifice of Harmony collapsed. There were patterns in the world that weren’t rational i.e. capable of being expressed in terms of ratios. They were irrational. It was to resolve this crisis that Pythagoras devised one of the most profound and powerful ideas of all time: the Completeness Theorem.
This said that Harmony was but a subset of Completeness, hence not the full truth of the cosmos. Only mathematical completeness could reflect the essence of the cosmos. After all, how could incompleteness ever suffice? By definition, it would always be incomplete. The cosmos must be complete in a mathematical sense. If it were not then there would be bizarre holes and gaps everywhere, reflecting the incompleteness. The cosmos would be like a partially constructed building: no one could safely live in it. The foundations might collapse at any time. If it were incomplete, the cosmos would be unstable. Inexplicable oddities, arising from the incompleteness, would abound. It would be impossible to analyze these. The cosmos would be a bizarre mixture of things that made complete sense and other things that were utterly baffling. Nothing would be predictable because incompleteness might rear its end at any instant.
Pythagoras’s Completeness Theorem was dialectically refined over the years. It is now expressed in the following terms:
1) The cosmos prefers no number over another. It does not exclude any number or discriminate against any number. To say that any number is “forbidden” by nature is absurd. Any theory based on anything less than the full set of numbers is by definition incomplete. Any such theory cannot properly describe the cosmos. Science, because it excludes zero and infinity, is formally incomplete and can only be complete once it embraces these two numbers.
2) All numbers are in fact infinite in “depth”. The number 1 may seem to be finite, but it can be written as 1.0 followed by an infinite numbers of zeroes. All irrational numbers are infinite and all rational numbers can be written in infinite form (just as we illustrated with 1). Therefore the entire cosmos can be mapped with infinite exactitude. There are no gaps anywhere in the cosmos described by the full set of numbers, and every number is infinitely precise. Nothing can exist outside the full set of numbers. There is no room for anything else. Only the full set of numbers allows a full description of existence. Imagine if there were a full set of numbers between 1.0 and 1.4 and between 1.5 and 2.0. What about the gap between 1.4 and 1.5? Imagine there were no numbers there – just an empty space. This would mean that anything that was smoothly flowing between 1.0 to 1.4 would come to a complete stop at 1.4. How would it bridge the mysterious gap to 1.5? In this little gap, the rules of the cosmos would be completely different. Physics would operate differently. Nature would operate differently. Calculus, the most important technique in physics and mathematics, would fail.
Calculus is based on the ability to reduce the distance between two points to zero, and this is possible only because there’s an infinitely small gap between any two adjacent points designated by infinitely precise numbers. If there were gaps between any numbers or they weren’t all infinitely precise, calculus wouldn’t work. Mathematical functions would break down. It wouldn’t be valid to draw a line between two points if there was a mathematical lacuna between them. The cosmos would be unstable and would unravel.
3) The cosmos must be stable, hence numbers must provide a rocksolid platform. This means that no matter what mathematical operation is performed on them, they must resist instability. The full set of numbers must be stable under any global mathematical operation performed upon them, whether it be rotation, inversion, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising them to a power, taking the mirror image etc. If any mathematical operation performed on an apparently full set of numbers resulted in something catastrophic then it would be proof that the proposed full set of numbers was in fact incomplete.
4) Nothing can exist outside “complete” mathematics. All possibilities are accommodated. There is nothing else. Complete mathematics specifies everything. Any theory that does not use complete mathematics is incomplete and cannot offer a full description of everything. Only complete mathematics provides the framework for a Grand Unified Theory of Everything. Once completeness has been established, nothing can exist outside it. Everything that is knowable is contained within the system. Everything that exists is contained within the system.
5) To establish a Grand Unified Theory of Everything, the first task that must be accomplished is to describe the complete mathematics upon which it will be based. This is a task for mathematical logic, not for scientific experiments. No physicist, or indeed modern mathematician, has ever addressed the issue of complete mathematics.
6) The single most important aspect of complete mathematics is the question of dimensionality. How many dimensions are required to accommodate all conceivable numbers, to a depth of infinity, so that not a single point anywhere cannot be mapped to a unique number of infinite precision? Only once the issue of dimensionality has been definitively resolved can any Grand Unified Theory of Everything be constructed. M-theory, science’s latest attempt at a Grand Unified Theory is based on 11 dimensions, but there is absolutely no theoretical basis for this number, hence M-theory, which remains a “work in progress” is certain to collapse in due course.
Humanity has always wanted to know everything, to peer into every dark corner of the cosmos, to resolve every riddle, paradox and mystery. Pythagoras’s Completeness Theorem, based on defining mathematical completeness, is the foundation of Absolute Knowledge. The Completeness Theorem asserts that it is impossible for anything to exist outwith the framework of complete mathematics. Everything that can happen will happen in terms of complete mathematics, and nothing else. Anything that is not forbidden by complete mathematics is compulsory. There are no mysterious forces outside complete mathematics. Nothing can exist outwith complete mathematics. God himself can’t escape complete mathematics, despite what the Abrahamists say. When Pythagoras declared, “All is number”, this was his reference to his Completeness Theorem.
Mathematics specifies all that can exist, every form that the arche (the fundamental substance of existence) can take. There is quite simply nothing else. And, because human beings understand numbers, they can therefore understand the cosmos. As above, so below. Every corner of the cosmos obeys exactly the same mathematical laws. Any mind that grasps complete mathematics grasps everything. At that point, when you truly understand complete mathematics and all of its implications, you are capable of achieving gnosis and entering into union with the Divine Mind. But gnosis isn’t just the “scientific” grasp of complete mathematics, it’s also to feel it, to BE IT.
Imagine providing a perfect mathematical description of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in terms of a combination of basic sine waves. You have accomplished the scientific task. You have broken down all of the apparent complexity into something simple. You have understood how these sounds are assembled. You have measured their shape, frequency, wavelength, amplitude, pattern. You have understood so much. Yet at no point have you felt it. It is when you have tears in your eyes as you listen to the music that you have achieved gnosis regarding that piece of music. You are no longer looking at the music from outside. You are inside it. You are it. It reflects your will. It is your soul singing. Gnosis is about knowing the cosmos from inside and outside.
We can give you the “outside” perspective. But you must provide the inside perspective for yourself. Only you can. No one can do it on your behalf. You must internalise it. You must feel it. You must become one with the cosmos, feeling every part of it, sensing every part of it, comprehending every part. And then you are Abraxas, the True God. You have become God. Literally.
Plato asserted that what appears as “learning” is in fact “remembering”. The soul, before it became incarnate in the body, existed in the realm of Ideas where it was surrounded by the perfect “Forms” i.e. by the contents of Absolute Knowledge (in Plato’s view). In this domain, the soul perceived everything as it truly is rather than as the pale copy or shadow of truth that we encounter in the mortal world of imperfection. The right questions can draw out this latent, forgotten knowledge of Absolute Truth. We are already imbued with everything we need to know but our mortality has obscured it, has transformed the perfect originals into inaccurate copies and simulacra that present only a distorted version of reality.
Imagine photocopying an old picture on an old photocopier and then photocopying the copy. Then keep doing this a thousand times, forever photocopying the copy of a copy of a copy etc. In the end, the “copy” you are holding in your hand may look nothing like the original thanks to all the blurring, errors, smudges and imperfections inherent in the copying process. You need to see past the simulated truth of the inaccurate copies to the real truth of the original. Only then can you attain true wisdom.
Human beings are already the embodiment of complete mathematics. We are written in mathematics. We don’t need to be expert mathematicians in any conscious sense in order to have an intuitive grasp of mathematics. For most of us, our consciousness gets in the way of our grasp of mathematics. Like Plato’s souls, we become confused in the world of space and time. Yet every time we catch a ball, we are carrying out an extremely complex mathematical operation that most of us wouldn’t have the vaguest idea how to describe in mathematical equations. We just “do it” – we don’t think about it. It is internalised, intuitive, and we have a supreme grasp of it. Autistic savants can perform mathematical wonders faster than computers without having the vaguest idea of what they are doing. The answer just leaps out at them. How? From where? They are like Platonic souls hardwired into the perfect Mathematical Forms. They “see” mathematics without understanding it consciously. They don’t need to.
Most people love music and it is when they are listening to their favourite songs that they come closest to appreciating mathematics. Music is audible mathematics. Schopenhauer described music as a direct copy of the cosmic Will. It moves us so much because it is actually tuning us into the pulse of the dialectic itself, of the teleological desire to grow, to strive, to develop, to go forward, to revel in the life force. (Schopenhauer is absolutely right: music is mathematical, just as the cosmic Will is in space and time.) So, don’t imagine that you have to be a mathematical genius to “get it”. Everyone gets it one way or another. It’s built in. We can access it intuitively. We are all autistic savants in this regard, if we did but know it. We just need to dig deeper to reveal that side of our inner selves.
Listen to music. Relax. Have some wine (or another drug of your choice). Think of numbers, shapes, patterns, geometrical figures. Imagine yourself walking through a Platonic domain of perfect squares, triangles, circles, hyperbolas, parabolas, cubes, spheres, cylinders, enormous numbers, some clear as glass, some in the colours of the rainbow, some glowing, some translucent, some flashing. Imagine yourself in a rowing boat on a fast-flowing river of numbers. In a strong wind of numbers. Standing atop a mountain of numbers. You are immersed in an ocean of numbers. Numbers are imprinted on everything. Existence as we know it consists of formlessness and form fused together. “Minded energy” provides the formless part, and mathematics the form. The interaction between the arche and mathematics is so close, so intimate, that it becomes impossible to say where one ends and the other begins. So, mathematics can be validly identified with the arche, in accordance with Pythagoras’s inspired insight that “all is number”. The arche might be called mathematical energy, the mathematical part taking the role of elementary rational mind, from which human minds, with human consciousness and reason, ultimately emerged.
The universe is made of formless energy sculpted into form by mathematics. Mathematics is Pygmalion sculpting his perfect woman – Galatea – and then bringing her to life by imbuing her with mind and consciousness. Life, mind and consciousness are mathematical in origin. Eternal life is made possible by mathematics. Souls are mathematical entities. God is the apex of mathematical possibility. God is the Monad, the Whole, the One: the cosmos alive, conscious, and free to do absolutely anything it wishes.
Mathematics at some level is alive, and it is trying to solve its own cosmic equation. The force that keeps it going is the dialectic. Mathematics is like an enormous computer that will never stop calculating until it has provided the answer to “life, the universe, and everything.” The amusing answer, provided by Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is “42”. The real answer is Abraxas. God is the final mathematical solution of the cosmos. Adams made the fascinating suggestion that the ultimate question of life was being constructed via a planetary computer/mind: Earth. In fact, both the question and the answer are provided not by a planet but by the cosmos itself. The ultimate question is: “What is the maximum potential of existence?” The answer is God. The cosmos evolves from maximum potential to maximum expression of that potential. Every human being grows from a fertilized egg to a baby to a youth to an adult – from potential to actualisation. The supreme human lives are those in which the adults squeeze out every last drop of their potential in concrete and glorious achievements that dazzle the world. Are you making the most of your potential? Are you turning it from lead into gold? Are you an alchemist, or one of the unenlightened on your knees to a fake God? Abrahamism destroys potential; Illuminism and meritocracy are all about transforming all human potential into golden achievements. Under Illuminism, Earth will become a 24-carat golden nugget, the supreme treasure of the universe.
“There is naught in heaven or upon earth that is not in man. And God who dwelleth in Heaven, He also is in Man.” –Paracelsus
The Illuminati want to release human divinity. That is the Great Work – the magnum opus – of which the alchemists spoke.

“Everything of any importance is founded on mathematics.” –Robert Heinlein
The following diagram is one of the most important you will ever see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/
It contains seven of the nine most significant numbers. 1, -1, i, -i, and 0 are plainly visible. The circle contains the number pi and the circle is a symbol of the number infinity. The absent numbers are e (the base of natural logarithms and from which the exponential function is obtained) and the golden ratio (phi). Note that many mathematicians consider Euler’s Identity (eiπ + 1 = 0) as the most beautiful in mathematics because it expresses a relationship between five of the most crucial numbers in a supremely elegant and compact manner.)
Consider how the diagram is constructed:
1) It begins with zero, the origin, a dimensionless point. Extend that dimensionless point to the east to make a one-dimensional line of positive numbers. Extend it to the west to cater for negative numbers. The positive and negative numbers make up the so-called “real” number line. Why aren’t the real numbers complete? Because if we perform the mathematical operation of squaring the real numbers, half of the universe vanishes since all of the negatives become positive. There is a catastrophic flaw in the real numbers. How is this remedied?
2) We extend zero to the north to make a one-dimensional line of positive imaginary numbers, and we extend it to the south to make a line of the negative imaginary numbers. We have gone from a one dimensional line of real numbers to a two-dimensional plane of complex numbers (complex numbers comprise a real part and an imaginary part). Now what happens when we square this universe? The negative real numbers disappear as before, but now they are replaced by the squared imaginary numbers since the square of an imaginary number is negative. But if the imaginary numbers have become real negative numbers, what takes the place of the imaginary numbers? Haven’t they now disappeared en masse too? No, because they have square roots too (of complex numbers), indicated by the blue dots in the above diagram.
In terms of the complex plane, we now have completeness. But if we describe the complex plane as an x-axis and a perpendicular x(imaginary)-axis (labelled as xi), what about the y and z equivalents (yi and zi)?
3) So, we do exactly the same thing for the y and z axes. Thus we get a six dimensional space x, xi, y, yi, z, zi that we can designate as 6D(3r3i) where r stands for real numbers and i for imaginary numbers. This is our complete mathematical space, stable under any mathematical operation. Our previous mathematical designation of 4Di was wrong for the simple reason that we had included only one imaginary axis rather than matching up one to each of the x, y and zaxes. 4Di was short of two imaginary dimensions, hence incomplete in the two directions where they were absent. 4Di had the right shape because in the context of calculating the distance between any two points, it allowed three zones to be generated: real distances, imaginary distances and null distances. These three zones constitute the essence of Einstein’s special theory of relativity. But they are so much more than that. They are the basis of God, the mind, the soul, the afterlife. The “null zone” – outside space and time – is the province of religion. The “imaginary zone” – inside space and time – is the province of conventional science. The “real zone” – where the speed of light is always exceeded – can be considered a kind of mirror image of the imaginary zone.
Consider the following properties of entities moving at subluminal speeds (below light speed) and those at superluminal speeds (above light speed):
Subluminal.
a) Can never be accelerated to lightspeed.
b) Would need infinite energy to attain light speed (and would gain infinite mass).
c) Travel forward through time.
d) Time runs more slowly forward as lightspeed is approached. Distances shrink.
e) Time runs forward faster and faster as zero speed is approached.
f) Cannot escape a black hole.
g) As they lose energy, they approach zero speed.
h) Go slower and slower until they lose all kinetic energy.
i) As they lose energy, they travel slower through space and faster (forwards) through time.
j) As they gain energy, they travel faster through space and slower (forwards) through time.
k) In their own frame of reference, they have real mass, experience real distances and real time. (In contrast, photons that exist in the null zone have zero mass and experience zero distances and zero time.)
Superluminal.
a) Can never be slowed down to lightspeed.
b) Would need infinite energy to attain light speed (and would gain infinite mass).
c) Travel backward through time.
d) Time runs more slowly backward as lightspeed is approached. Distances shrink.
e) Time runs backward faster and faster as infinite speed is approached.
f) Can escape a black hole.
g) As they lose energy, they approach infinite speed.
h) Go faster and faster until they lose all kinetic energy.
i) As they lose energy, they travel faster through space and faster (backwards) through time.
j) As they gain energy, they travel slower through space and slower (backwards) through time.
k) In their own frame of reference, they have imaginary mass, experience imaginary distances and imaginary time. (In contrast, photons that exist in the null zone have zero mass, and experience zero distances and zero time.)
Neither subluminal nor superluminal particles can cross the light speed barrier i.e. a superluminal particle can never slow down to light speed, and can never cross into the subluminal speed zone. By the same token, a subluminal particle can never speed up to light speed and can never cross into the superluminal speed zone. Thus we can imagine the speed of light to be equivalent to the surface of a mirror, and the superluminal zone to be the reflection of the subliminal zone, where everything is back to front – particles lose energy as they speed up rather than gaining energy and time goes backwards rather than forwards. It is impossible for anything to pass through the mirror to the reflection. And is a reflection real in any case? Or is the superluminal zone simply describing what we would get if we ran the movie of life backwards, erasing everything that ever took place?

Therefore, 6 is the “magic” number that describes the minimum number of dimensions required to provide the framework for complete mathematics. Six is one of the most special numbers. It’s the first “perfect” number (its three divisors 1, 2 and 3 add up to 6). Also, 1x2x3 = 6. Also, 6 is the number of the first three levels of the tetraktys, and the fourth level may be considered the cosmos that is constructed from those fundamental upper levels.
In an Order 6 magic square, each column, row, and major diagonal adds up to 111. All six columns added together equal a certain esoteric number of immense power, as do all six of the rows added together, as do all the numbers between 1 and 36. The number in question is none other than 666.
http://en.wikipedia.org/
Apart from being one of the numbers associated with Abraxas, 666 is the number of light, of the sun, and of Lucifer. Now you know why Christians call it the Number of the Beast. Something of an irony given that they are the ones who choose to worship the Devil – Yahweh/Allah/Christ/
http://en.wikipedia.org/
Note that the Seal features a circle around the hexagram, the circle being the symbol of both “nothing” and its twin, infinity. The Seal also contains a central hexagon (another symbol of 6) and six satellite equilateral triangles (symbols of 3). And it contains 6 individual monads. Above all, it contains two large, interpenetrating equilateral triangles that comprise the hexagram. The triangle pointing upwards is the “masculine” one, while the one pointing downwards is the matching feminine one. Male and female coming together creates the cosmos.
This is exactly like the 3D domain of real numbers coming together with the 3D domain of imaginary numbers to form the 6D cosmos. The Seal of Solomon is the perfect symbol of the 6D universe, with the real and imaginary numbers fully interpenetrating each other. The six lines of the hexagram, the six apexes of the hexagram and the six dots (monads) make up 666. It was the Seal of Solomon that the Christians found so abominable. It was identified with Simon Magus, the true Christ whom the Christians regarded as the Antichrist/Beast, and whom they believed would return to the world prior to the “true” Second Coming. In those early Christian times, members of the Illuminati often marked their right hand with the sign of the Seal.
The Book of Revelation: 13:16-18.
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
In the Middle Ages, the Seal became associated with Judaism in what is now known as the “Star of David”. Before that, the menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum, was the unambiguous, quintessential symbol of Judaism. The Jews have completely hijacked the hexagram symbol, meaning that it is rarely used by the Illuminati in the present day. It is because of the links between the Seal of Solomon and the Star of David that the Illuminati were accused of being secret Jews by those clueless people who understood nothing of the history of the respective symbols. It infuriates the Illuminati to be linked with Judaism in any way given that one of our central goals is to remove Judaism, Christianity and Islam from the map of world religions. Yet, time and time again, people contact us to accuse Adam Weishaupt of being Jewish or to say that we are all Jewish bankers working for Goldman Sachs etc. We don’t reply to anyone who talks such arrant nonsense. It’s astounding that people who are utterly out of the information loop still think they “know something” and can run their half-baked, absurd ideas past us. They should bear in mind what Pythagoras said: “Either be silent or say something better than silence.” In other words, have something of merit to say, or don’t say anything. Free speech shouldn’t be about mindlessly blurting out the first thing that comes into someone’s head. Make sure you are a person who weighs your words, or others will judge your opinions to carry no weight at all.
The 6D(3r3i) mathematical space is based on two sets of complementary dimensions, three real and three imaginary, inextricably intertwined with each other. “3” is of course another supremely special number, the number of the trinity, the triad, the dialectic (thesis, antithesis and synthesis). It is the first male number and represents harmony since it equals 1 (the monad = unity, the number of Reason) plus 2 (the dyad = diversity, otherness, the first female number) i.e. 3, the triad equals harmony = unity + diversity. And 6 = the number of Creation since it equals the first female number (2) plus the first male number (3) + 1 (the supreme monad). So, if the three real dimensions (designated by x, y and z) are at right angles to each other and create an edgeless cube that extends infinitely in all directions to completely fill “real space”, where do the three imaginary dimensions (which we may label as xi, yi and zi) fit in? There’s no room!
But if we say that the y-axis is at right angles to the x-axis and the xi-axis is also at right angles to the x-axis in the same plane then we are effectively saying that there is a certain relationship between the y-axis
and the xi-axis. We can extend this thinking to show that the z-axis is related to the yi-axis and the x-axis to the zi-axis:
The mapping of imaginary axes to real axes thus becomes:
xi <=> y; yi <=> z; zi <=> x
In other words, we can imagine the three imaginary dimensions being fitted exactly over the three real dimensions, but at a different orientation according to the mapping we have just described. It’s an arrangement that is both breathtakingly simple and breathtakingly complex. In some sense, all real numbers of one dimension (e.g. the xaxis) are also imaginary numbers of another dimension (e.g. the ziaxis). Thus all numbers are dual entities, both real and imaginary, and it is this duality that underpins the two “separate” dimensions that we call space and time.

Astonishing as it may seem, the essence of Einstein’s special theory of relativity is contained within the simple diagram we showed earlier. Consider the following pairs of coordinates (P1 and P2 we shall call them), where the second coordinate of P1 and P2 is an imaginary number:
a) P1 (2, 3); P2 (5, 5)
b) P1 (4, 1); P2 (6, 7)
c) P1 (1, 1); P2 (6, 6)
For a), the distance (d) between P1 and P2 is (using Pythagoras’s Theorem):
d2 = (5-2)2 + (5-3)i2 = 9 – 4 = 5, so d = + √5 or – √5 (since a quadratic equation has two roots, one positive and one negative).
For b) d2 = (6-4)2 + (7-1)i2 = 4 – 36 = -32, so d = + (√32)i or – (√32)i
For c) d2 = (6-1)2 + (6-1)i2 = 25 – 25 = 0, so d = +0 or –0 = 0
So, the distance between any two points in the diagram will be either (+ real number) or (- real number) or (+ imaginary number) or (- imaginary number) or zero. Nothing else is possible. If we flood this 2D(1r1i) “world” with formless energy, some will flow into the domain of positive real numbers, some into the domain of negative real numbers, some into the domain of positive imaginary numbers, some into the domain of negative imaginary numbers, and some into the zero zone. Nothing else is possible. The zero zone is the domain of massless particles such as photons. All distances in this zone are zero.
Any points that lie on lines that strike the x-axis at an angle of 45 degrees (or 90 + 45 = 135 degrees, or 180 + 45 = 225 degrees, or 270 + 45 = 315 degrees) will exist in the zero zone. Even if P1 is (0, 0) and P2 (infinity, infinity), the distance between the two points will still be zero. In other words, a particle could travel from P1 (0, 0) to P2 (infinity, infinity) and yet not travel any distance! (hence it would take no time to make the journey). Such particles are exhibiting one of the central paradoxes of existence: they move and yet don’t get anywhere since they always cover zero distance. They could traverse every point in the universe in no time without covering any distance. Such is the supreme mystery of the zero zone.
Note that the whole diagram could be covered with 45, 135, 225 and 315-degree lines, meaning that every point in existence is connected to the zero zone. The whole cosmos has a link to the zero zone. Here, everything is interconnected outside space and time. This is the cosmic information channel that bypasses all materialistic limitations. Nothing can pass from the real zone to the imaginary zone because the zero zone is an impenetrable barrier between the two zones. You can only enter it if you have zero mass.
So, this simple diagram with one real axis and one imaginary axis is a perfect model of the mathematics of special relativity. If the 2D(1r1i) world (corresponding to the x and x-imaginary axes) is simply scaled up (to accommodate the equivalent y and z 2D worlds), we obtain the full 6D(3r3i) cosmos. But the principles remain exactly the same and everything that is true of the 2D space is true of the 6D space.
Hence our simple 2D world of one real and one imaginary axis shows how a zone can be created within that world in which everything is linked to everything else by zero distance. From this unique perspective, the whole cosmos is in fact a zero-dimensional singularity like that at the centre of a black hole or the Big Bang. And yet this singularity exists within a vast cosmos where any two points can also be separated by anything other than zero distance. In one and the same cosmos, we have everything separate and everything connected. Both statements are simultaneously true. So much for Aristotelian logic. Now you see why only dialectical logic suffices in these extreme conditions.
Imagine holding a needle sideways in front of you. You clearly see its whole length. Then rotate the needle until you only see its point. The cosmos operates the same way. From some angles you see it as a substantial object, yet there is an angle where it becomes almost invisible – a singularity. Everything depends on the angle. From the viewpoint of the needlepoint, it is connected to everything! This domain, outside space and time, is where our afterlife is guaranteed. The part of us – our mind/soul – that has the perspective of the needle tip cannot die. It is immortal. It is linked to everything else. It is linked to God.
At this very instant you are linked to everything that has ever been, and everyone who has ever lived, and to God. You are in direct contact with any of your loved ones who have died. The only reason you don’t know it is that your consciousness is trapped in a certain time-space perspective. When you achieve gnosis – enlightenment – your perspective instantly switches to that of the needle point and you are at one with the cosmos.
Can you begin to see the light? It’s all in the mathematics. Mathematics is reality. Mathematics guarantees that part of us – our essence, not the mortal part of space and time – is immortal. If you accept Einstein’s special theory of relativity you have virtually accepted the existence of an afterlife, of souls, of God. Isn’t that amazing? Atheistic scientists have wilfully ignored the astonishing ramifications of one of their own key theories. They are DETERMINED not to see God, such is their slavish devotion to materialism – which has become their strange, hopeless religion.

The Mind Mystery:
The key to God, religion, souls, the afterlife, mind is contained in the cosmic equation r >= 0. What this equation says is that although there is a single continuum of existence, it can be regarded as the interaction of two separate domains: one in space and time (r > 0) and one outside space and time (r = 0). We previously showed how light in its own frame of reference is outside space and time, yet is perceived by us as being in space and time. This dichotomy and paradox is the essence of existence.
Any mind perceiving the cosmos from the perspective of space and time can’t help but impose space and time on everything, including those things such as light that are not actually in space and time. Things that exist in space and time have a beginning and an end. They are mortal. They die. Humans die. The part of the human mind shaped by space and time dies. These are the facts of space and time. These are the facts of a life lived within space and time.
Yet part of the cosmos is not in space and time. It is immortal. It cannot die. It is not subject to the laws of space and time. It does not partake of those laws. Instead, it partakes of the radically different laws of an existence outside space and time. It has a fundamentally different perspective of the cosmos.
What does the universe look like from outside space and time? If everything is interconnected because there is no physical distance between any two things, how does that work? If no time ever passes, how can anything ever change? Isn’t everything just eternally frozen? Isn’t the universe outside space and time incomprehensible?
Certainly, we cannot hope to describe it in the familiar terms of space and time since these do no apply. Still, it is useful to have some kind of image in our minds.
The r = 0 cosmos is hard-wired to the r > 0 cosmos. The r = 0 domain is not in space and time, but is indissolubly linked to something that is (the r > 0 domain). So, the r = 0 DOES experience space and time, albeit at second hand. In particular, it experiences it informationally (mentally). Consider a time-lapse film. You film traffic going over a bridge for a 24-hr period. You then speed up the film and compress the 24 hours into, say, 24 minutes. The speeded up film looks both familiar and very different. The compressed film is operating according to different rules of space and time compared with the original film. Now speed up the film to infinity. What happens? If something is travelling infinitely fast, it does not experience the passage of time. It gets anywhere in no time. Everything is instantaneous. The time-lapse film ends as soon as it begins. All of the information it contained is processed instantly.
And now we get to the heart of it. An observer in the r = 0 domain perceives the r > 0 domain as running at infinite speed. Everything that happens is instantly reflected in r = 0. No time passes and yet information accumulates infinitely rapidly, in complete contradiction of the notion that nothing can change in a timeless environment. This is the ultimate time-lapse film. If you could view the r > 0 domain from the r = 0 domain you would experience all the events of the universe flashing past you at infinite speed, and yet not a single moment would ever elapse.
You wouldn’t experience “physical” time – the time of the r > 0 domain that can be measured with a clock, but you WOULD experience another type of time – psychological/mental time. In times of extreme danger, people report that time seems to almost stop. Each second passes much more slowly. This is not physically true of course, but it is mentally, and, in the pure mental realm of r = 0, this would be the only type of time that would be experienced: mental time.
The mind would be able to cope with distance in similar fashion. It would have a mental ability to differentiate all of the spatial events taking place in r > 0 even though it did not itself experience physical space.
So, in the r = 0 domain, physical space and time, measured by physical rulers and clocks, are replaced by a mental experience of space and space and time, measured by mental rulers and clocks. The statement that something is outside space and time is something of a misnomer. The precise meaning is that it is not subject to physical space and time.
The r >= 0 universe is a cosmic two-way feedback process. The informational content of the r > 0 domain (all the events happening everywhere) is fed into the r = 0 domain, which mentally processes the information and responds to it, which is then instantly reflected in the r > 0 domain, as scientifically demonstrated by the famous EPR paradox where quantum particles that are “entangled” are able to coordinate their behaviour instantaneously.
Some people claim that a domain outside space and time must already have experienced all future events. Such things have been said about God: he knows the future because he is outside time. This is utterly absurd. The future hasn’t happened yet. No one can know that which has not yet happened. They might be able to predict it, but they certainly can’t “know” it. We have now presented the proper philosophical, scientific and religious framework in which this matter should be contemplated: the union of two domains, one outside space and time, and one inside. The domain that is outside space and time is continuously and instantaneously updated by what’s going on in the r > 0 domain, but it never has access to any events that have not yet happened in the r > 0 domain. This is a simple impossibility. No one can ever know the future and all talk of precognition, seeing the future, travelling into the future and back again etc is pure fantasy. It can never happen. We can certainly influence the future and make certain events more likely to happen, but we cannot “know” the future. God cannot know it. No one can. People can have strong intuitions about the future, but that’s as far as it goes.
Two philosophical traditions have dominated Western intellectual thought: materialism and idealism. Materialism is the position championed by modern science. In this view, mind emerges from matter, and can have no existence independently of matter. This is the exclusive r > 0 universe. According to science and materialism, two numbers are excluded from physical reality: zero and infinity. Science says that a strictly dimensionless (zero-dimension) entity is impossible since in the material universe all things are dimensional by definition. Science also says that if the equations of physics produce infinite results at certain points then physics has “broken down” at these points and something must be wrong with the underlying theory.
One divided by zero equals infinity.
One divided by infinity equals zero.
Infinity is the “flip side” of zero. Zero and infinity are inextricably linked. If you exclude one, you exclude both. In short, the assertion of science is that the r = 0 universe does not and cannot exist. Yet no scientist queries the properties of light which, according to Einstein’s sacrosanct special theory of relativity, is massless, travels in “null” space and does not experience space and time i.e. is dimensionless. No scientist has ever realized that science has already proved materialism to be untenable. Dimensionless existence is the essence of light, which is the beating heart of relativity theory.
Idealism is the view that only mind exists. What we perceive as the external world is actually a mental construct. “Material” objects are mental rather than physical. This is the r = 0 universe. In this view, zero and infinity define reality. There are no solid, dimensional objects i.e. there is no matter. The assertion of idealism is that the r > 0 universe does not exist i.e. reality consists of an infinite number of dimensionless (zero-dimensional) entities; all other numbers are mental rather physical – the term “four dogs” would refer to four mental dogs rather than four physical, dimensional, material dogs. Many of the greatest philosophers have supported this position.
Illumination is the synthesis of materialism and idealism: r >= 0. Mind and matter co-exist. All numbers from zero to infinity are part of reality. No numbers are excluded mentally or physically. Nature has no preference for some numbers over others. It doesn’t discriminate.
Materialism and idealism are both subsets of reality, based on a fallacious view that Nature, for some unexplained reason, gives some numbers a greater “reality” than others. (In materialism, zero and infinity have no “reality”; in idealism only zero and infinity have “reality”.) Illumination is based on mathematical completeness. In the language of Gnosticism, this concept as known as the “pleroma”: the universe of “fullness”. Both materialism and idealism are examples of what Gnosticism calls “hysterema”: the universe of “deficiency”. Illumination, by incorporating all possible numbers, cannot be made any bigger. It lacks nothing. Materialism and idealism are both in the position of having to explain why they are deficient; why materialism excludes the dimensionless and why idealism excludes the dimensional. Neither ideology has ever successfully accomplished this.
Science has done an excellent job of explaining the r > 0 cosmos, but now it cannot go any further to produce a Grand Unified Theory of Everything until it confronts the two critical remaining pieces of the jigsaw: zero and infinity. While science blindly asserts that these numbers are impossible in Nature, it is doomed to failure. Nature accounts for all possibilities. It does not exclude anything. This MUST be the basis of any theory of everything. Clearly, if science has ruled out zero and infinity, it is a limited theory, hence not a theory of everything. Bizarrely, not a single scientist has ever comprehended that any theory of everything must specifically address everything. The r >= 0 paradigm does address everything; r > 0 and r = 0, separately, do not. r >= 0 is the only paradigm devised by the human mind that imposes no limits. It is the only viable, the only possible, Grand Unified Theory. It is the summit of human thought, the limit. Nothing can exist beyond it, not even in principle. Once zero and infinity have been accommodated, the story is over. Finis. r >= 0 is the answer to “life, the universe and everything.”
Imagine that you are the owner of a sophisticated radio-controlled helicopter. There’s a little silver pilot sitting in the cockpit. You start remotely flying the helicopter and you’ve never had so much fun. But then you think – this COULD be better. Specifically, it could be better if your consciousness was somehow transferred into the little pilot guy. For you, if the helicopter crashes, it’s too bad. You’ll need to get a new one. If your little pilot crashes, he’s “dead”. The stakes are so much higher for him, hence the excitement is so much greater. Your hobby is transformed into a life and death struggle if you can switch your consciousness into the pilot’s head.
So, imagine that your “soul” in the r = 0 domain is controlling a physical body, a human being, in the r > 0 domain. Well, it’s quite a lot of fun having this remote-controlled “android” doing things at your behest. But the creature is disposable. You’re not feeling what it’s going through. Everything is taking place at a distance. You are experiencing second-level, second-hand emotions. Your mind needs to be inside that human being if your life is to become meaningful.
What is a human brain? What’s the point of it? If minds exist independently of matter, who needs a physical brain? The answer could not be simpler. The brain, with its countless brain cells and connections, is the means by which consciousness in the r = 0 domain gets transferred into the r > 0 domain. That’s the amount of processing power a mind needs if it’s to change its perceptions from that of something outside space and time to something inside space and time. It needs to be able to process, via the physical senses, all of the signals coming from its environment. It needs to understand spatial and temporal pleasure and pain. It needs to feel emotion.
The mind is never anywhere other than in the r = 0 domain, but a physical brain allows a mind to have the experience of being in space and time. Consciousness is transferred from one place to another, like the helicopter owner transferring his consciousness to the toy pilot. Our space-time consciousness is, strictly speaking, an illusion since our mind is never actually in space and time. Yet it’s a very convincing illusion!
But the situation is rather more complicated than we are suggesting, and the architecture of the internet helps us to get the full picture. Human beings actually have “multi-minds” that work seamlessly together to give the illusion of a single consciousness.
Experiments conducted on “split brain” patients, where the corpus callosum joining the two hemispheres of the brain is severed, have demonstrated unequivocally that the left and right brains are different in capabilities, intelligence, creativity, and emotions i.e. they are “different people”, different minds. Many of the peculiarities of human behaviour stem from the fact that more than one mind is involved in our decisions. Right-handed people, the vast majority of the human race, are dominated by the mind associated with their left brain. This is what they regard as their consciousness, their ego, their sense of self. The dominant left hemisphere is where our language abilities reside. Therefore if consciousness and language go together, it is inevitable that the left brain will seem to be the seat of consciousness. The constant monologue that goes through our heads all the time is the product of our language skills, hence is a left brain phenomenon. The mind in the right hemisphere is effectively silent and some researchers have called it the seat of the unconscious. The language skills of the right brain are not non-existent, but they are distinctly primitive. They are like caveman grunts and basic commands. So, of our two minds, one constantly speaks to us while the other grunts. Naturally, we identify with the language-based mind, so that becomes our consciousness, but it’s not the “whole” of us. Again, we see that we are the victims of a kind of delusion. Is it possible that the delusion has even more layers? Do we have a ladder of minds, for example, that we might use to climb up to the level of none other than God himself?
Let’s return to the computer analogy. A standalone personal computer is like our brain-based mind(s). Our left-brain consciousness is like the active application on the computer, while our right brain consciousness is like all the background tasks being performed by the computer and all of the various rules, protocols and code for running the computer. Sometimes there’s a conflict and our computer suffers a blue-screen crash (like a human nervous breakdown). The computer needs to be rebooted (we might have to be helped by a psychotherapist to get our life back on track; to be “rebooted”).
The computer’s RAM memory is like our short-term memory. The hard drive is where our long-term memories are stored. Over time, some sectors can become corrupted and we can’t access them any more (equivalent to losing some of our memories – with Alzheimer’s Disease, all access is lost).
Now we add in the internet. How does this change the picture? The internet protocols and a modem allow us to link to an enormous number of other computers. We can download material onto our hard drive from internet servers, and we can do the opposite and upload material onto internet servers. The internet is like the interconnected r = 0 domain. Let’s say that our right brain is the “modem” for connecting us to the r = 0 domain, and knows all of the relevant protocols. The r = 0 domain can pass messages to us via the right brain, and we can upload material to the r = 0 domain via the right brain. Let’s say that there is a specific “soul” in the r = 0 domain that is like an internet server dedicated exclusively to us. Let’s say that this exclusive server/soul is tightly linked to certain others servers/souls – those of the members of our family. And let’s say that it can make strong new connections with other servers/souls – our friends and lovers.
So, our left brain consciousness is equated with our standalone computer. Our right brain is too (it works in tandem with the left brain), but it can also be equated with a link to the internet i.e. with a direct link to other computers (the equivalent of other consciousnesses). If we say that the internet, based on linked computers, is like a Mass Mind, based on linked minds, then we can create a new model of mind and its connections. Our right brain is linked to the Mass Mind via a node in the r = 0 domain: our “soul”. The soul can download messages to the right brain mind, and the right brain can upload messages to the soul, but this all happens unconsciously because our consciousness resides in the left brain which does not explicitly participate in this link.
Our soul is closely linked to the souls of the other people in our lives, particularly in the case of identical twins where their souls might be so closely linked that they practically overlap, hence the ability of identical twins to virtually read each other’s mind. We can use soul “hyperlinks” to hook up with any other soul in the Mass Mind. This is the basis of “remote” psychic connections with those with whom we are not related.
If we associate the whole of the Mass Mind with none other than God’s Mind then all of us are linked to the Mind of God, meaning that part of our soul is in direct contact with the Godhead, albeit at an unconscious level. (Consider God as the original node of the Mass Mind – the first computer on the internet, in our analogy – that defines all the communications protocols. God is the Controller of The Matrix, in a manner of speaking, the Supreme Architect.)
If we can climb the ladder of mind and raise our soul to this highest possible level – our Highest Self – then we have achieved our divine mission – to become God. We have entered into mental union with God. We are experiencing his thoughts and he ours. We have attained our personal Omega Point. And when all of us have attained this same level then we have become a Community of Gods and the cosmos has reached its Omega Point of maximum actualisation of cosmic potential.
Is it not a wondrous prospect? Is it not glorious? Is it not divine? Yet, in truth, although we have talked about multi-minds (about a left-brain mind, a right-brain mind, about a linked r = 0 domain soul and an r = 0 Highest Self), they are all really the same mind, located in r = 0, but compartmentalized to allow us to function in two domains, r = 0 and r > 0, and to ultimately raise ourselves to our highest possible level.
When we die, our left-brain consciousness perishes – there’s no avoiding that – but at the moment of death it is in a sense uploaded via the right-brain link to our soul in the r = 0 domain. And if we have not achieved gnosis/ enlightenment/ the achievement of our Highest Self, then the process will begin again (reincarnation) and our soul (or rather one aspect of it) will be downloaded into a new brain and will assume a new consciousness in the r > 0 domain.
The characteristic descriptions of near-death experiences: entering a long tunnel and seeing a bright light at the end, and feeling the presence of the dear departed who went before you to the Great Beyond – these would be entirely compatible with the type of set-up we have outlined.
Borrowing and modifying Hindu terminology we can construct the following scheme:
Jiva: left-brain consciousness; the ego that perceives itself as existing in r > 0. The “active” consciousness of our everyday experience.
Jiva-atman: right brain consciousness. It is connected to both the r > 0 left brain consciousness and also to the r = 0 domain.
Atman: the r = 0 Soul/Higher Self/Divine Spark that can communicate with us via the jiva-atman connection. This might be referred to as our “real”, immortal Self.
Param-atman: the r = 0 perfected Soul/Highest Self. This is what we aspire to. This is when we have literally “become God”.
Brahman: the union of all Param-atmans – the transcendent Godhead, the union of all the Gods in a single entity that is yet greater than the collection. Nirvana for Buddhists. The Gestalt (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts). The cosmic Omega Point.
But all of this is just an analogy, a pictorial framework in which to consider the issues. There is no actual “uploading” and “downloading” since the mind never leaves the r = 0 domain. It’s AS IF this type of process takes places, but in fact what’s really taking place is a sequence of coordinated alterations and shifts in the consciousness of an immortal mind in the r = 0 domain as it proceeds on its dialectical journey to the ultimate destination.
Try to think of your own model of what takes place. Look around the world for possible analogies. Maybe you will look to Nature and consider ant colonies, beehives and flocks of birds – “swarm” intelligences. Maybe you will look at a human political movement such as Communism, or the “market” of capitalism, or a metaphysical concept such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s General Will, or a psychological concept such as Freud’s Id/Ego/Superego model of the psyche or Jung’s Collective Unconscious, or a religious organisation such as the Catholic Church or one of the Protestant sects. Do such things reveal truths about our minds and souls, about how they relate to and interact with each other?
And never forget… As above so below. As inside, so outside.
