Taking his cue from the observed compatibility of quasars to eject enormously concentrated beams of matter from their interiors in a controlled non-concentric version of the {quote} Big Bang, he envisages a similar process occurring in the generation of the of the universe.
See exhibit four on the next page. Noting that those galaxies located to the north of our own galaxy are moving away faster than those located to the south. And that those to the east and west are demonstrably more distant.
Bentov regards this as substantive evidence that the jet of matter which expanded into our universe has turned back upon itself, eventually forming an ovoid or egg shape. He sees matter in our universe entering the ovoid pattern following ejection from a nucleus composed of extremely compressed energy through a {quote} white hole. At the end of its trip to the far end of the ovoid, he sees it departing via a black hole. In such a
model, time is observed to be the measure of the change which occurs >> >> as energy evolves into new more complex forms as it progresses along the distance from the white hole side of the nucleus around the shell of this cosmic egg until it enters the black hole. In other words, as energy expelled from infinity and confined within limits by the conscious of the of the absolute achieves form and motion following ejection from the white hole
at the top of the egg. Time begins as a measure of the cadence of this evolutionary movement as reality goes around the shell of the egg on its journey to the black hole at the far end. So, again, straight out of Stalking the Wild Pendulum, this notion that the universe itself um is in this sort of state of flux of coming and going. This meta egg that is ever flowing from white hole to black hole in some kind of, you
know, cosmic reincarnation pattern. As depicted in this amazing image that you've probably seen many times at this point if you're interested in this document. Okay, we're going to wrap this with point 25, our place in time.
The observed distribution of galaxies suggests that our particular universe is located near the top of the egg at the point where matter begins to fall back on itself, thus explaining the reason why the galaxies to the north are seen to be moving away more rapidly as they are caught up in the downturn of the stream of matter toward the far end of the cosmic egg, see exhibit five on the next page. Layered over this cosmic egg
is the absolute which sustains the radiating nucleus from which the original jet of matter issued forth. As the stream of matter moves around the ovoid toward its destination at the black hole where it will be reabsorbed into the radiating nucleus and then the absolute, it generates the interference pattern within the cosmic egg, which constitutes the universal hologram or torus.
Since the torus is being simultaneously generated by matter in all the various phases of time, it reflects the development of the universe in the past, present, and future as it would be seen from our particular perspective in one phase of time.
By reflecting on this model, it becomes possible to see how human consciousness brought to a sufficiently altered or focused state could obtain information concerning the past, present, and future since they all exist in the universal hologram simultaneously. In the case of the future, because all of the consequences of the past and present can be seen coming together in the hologram such that the future can be predicted or seen
with total accuracy. Quite a statement. Moreover, it is possible to see how the implosion of energy patterns would cross and recross to create an incredibly complex four-dimensional hologram or torus in spiral shape in reflection of the multi-dimensional developing pattern of evolution.
All of the movements of the energies which comprise the universe leave their mark and hence tell their story throughout time. All right, friends, commencing the third and final parts of this full read-through of the Gateway Process document starting with point 26, Quality of Consciousness.
We noted earlier that the out-of-body state involves projection of a major portion of the energy pattern that represents human consciousness so that it may move either freely throughout the terrestrial sphere for purposes of information acquisition or into other dimensions outside of space-time, perhaps to interact with other forms of consciousness within the universe.
Consciousness is the organizing and sustaining principle that provides the impetus and guidance to bring and keep energy in motion within a given set of parameters so that a specific reality will result. When consciousness reaches a state of sophistication in which it can perceive itself, its own hologram, it reaches the point of self-cognition.
Human beings have this form of elevated consciousness as does the absolute, but in case of the latter, it is a function of energy and its associated quality of consciousness and infinity, omniscience and omnipotence in perceptual unity.
When energy returns to a state of total rest within the absolute, it returns to the continuum of consciousness in the pool of limitless timeless perception that resides there. Thus, the more complex an energy system in the material state, the more consciousness it possesses to maintain its reality. Our consciousness, therefore, is that differentiated aspect of the universal consciousness which resides within the absolute. It accounts for the
organization of the energy patterns which constitute our from and superior to it since consciousness exists quite apart from and outside of reality, beyond the bounds of time-space. It is like the absolute. It, like the absolute, has neither beginning nor end. Reality has both a beginning and an end because it is bounded within time-space, but the fundamental quantum energy and its associated consciousness is eternal. When reality ends, its
constituent energy simply returns to infinity and the absolute. Fascinating stuff. Again, I have questions about this relationship between human consciousness and the absolute, but you still see this notion in really cutting-edge ideas um in the sort of philosophy of consciousness, right? That there is this aspect of human consciousness that is not bound by space-time, that is immortal, that exists outside the confines of
space-time. I mean, these are all ideas that you'll find in like I said really cutting edge physics of consciousness thinkers. Again, Dr. Donald Hoffman, Bernardo Kastrup, Federico Faggin, they all have some version of this that you know these rules, these this world that we live in is not the absolute reality or at least consciousness is not bound to that reality. Like in the case of somebody like Federico Faggin, he has
this notion that human consciousness is um both quantum and classical. That there is this immortal part of our consciousness that resides out outside of space time just like they're saying in this paper. So, interesting stuff.
Okay, point 27, consciousness in perspective. Having ascertained that human consciousness is able to separate from physical reality and interact with other intelligences in other dimensions within the universe and that it is both eternal and destined for ultimate return to the absolute, we are faced with a question. So, what happens then? Since memory is a function of consciousness and therefore enjoys the same eternal
character as the consciousness which accounts for its existence, it must be admitted that when consciousness returns to the absolute, it brings with it all the memories it has accumulated through experience in reality. The return of consciousness to the absolute does not imply an extinction of the separate entity which the consciousness organized and sustained in reality. Rather, it suggests differentiated consciousness
which merges with and participates in the universal consciousness and infinity of the absolute without losing the separate identity and accumulated self-knowledge which its memories confer upon it. What it does lose is the capability for generation of independent thought holograms since that can be done only by energy in motion. In other words, it retains the power to perceive but loses the power of will or choice.
In exchange, however, this consciousness participates in the all-knowing infinite continuum of consciousness, which is a characteristic of energy in the ever-present. Consequently, it is accurate to observe that when a person experiences the out-of-body state, he is in fact projecting that eternal spark of consciousness and memory, which constitutes the ultimate form of his identity, to let it play in and learn from dimensions both inside and outside
the time-space world in which his physical component currently enjoys a short period of reality. Fascinating stuff. Again, you know, there's definitely overlaps with a lot of um ancient esoteric and spiritual traditions here, but I'm I'm really curious, you know, how they came to this conclusion about really the ultimate fate of the human's immortal consciousness, right? That it will somehow preserve a sense of individuality, yet
also merge with the absolute, uh you know, with the immortal consciousness hologram that underlies reality. Um I mean, I'm not mad at it. I like it, but I do have questions. I mean, it's really reminiscent of some of the Platonic and Hermetic ideas, right? Like in the um Herme- really both Hermetic and Platonic traditions, there's this idea that you know, uh human consciousness can be reborn into the nous, you know, the divine mind or
the logos. Um So, yeah, hard not to think about that here. Right. 28. Now Now we're going to start getting into slowly and surely the the methodology in and of itself. So, 28 Gateway method. Having put the Gateway experience in context by postulating a structural outline of how and why it seems to work, and having shown what it is designed to achieve, the time has come to examine the specific techniques which comprise the Gateway process.
These techniques are designed to enable the user of the Gateway tapes to manipulate the high energy stage states which can be achieved if the user continues to work with the tapes over a period of time.
The amount of time required to reach advanced energy states and to fully exploit all the techniques varies with the individual. The sensitivity of his nervous system, his general state of mind, and the extent to which he may have previously developed facility in related techniques such as transcendental meditation are all pertinent factors affecting the speed at which he may expect to progress. The Gateway process begins by teaching the
individual participant to isolate extraneous concerns in a visualization device called an energy conversion box. Next, the participant is introduced to a method of encouraging his mind and body to strive to achieve a state of resonance through utterance of a single tone, a monotonous contracted humming sound that sets up a feeling of vibration particularly in the head. He engages in this resonant tuning, as it is called, by humming along with a
chorus of sound of such sounds that are contained on the Gateway tape. Following this, the participant is exposed to the Gateway affirmation and is encouraged to repeat it to himself as he hears it repeated on the tape. This affirmation is a statement to the effect that the individual realizes that he is more than merely his physical body and that he deeply desires to expand his consciousness.
