The Perfect Circle and the Ellipse

Perfect Circle

Figure 1

The human divine soul is a circle; it is a perfect circle. This term perfect circle only becomes necessary after we realize that in cosmic evolution, the perfect circle, or just circle, because of the fall of man, has become an ellipse - an imperfect circle. These are fitting metaphors for the soul - the quintessence of the human being. In recording this up-until-now unrecorded history of the human soul, we hope to fill in the blanks that heretofore recorded psycho-spiritual history has left empty.

In the story of the garden of paradise or the garden of felicity -with Adam and Eve - as Western Semitic religious lore, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, has recorded, we have the basic allegory of not creation per se, but the fall and corruption of the human soul. I will refer to that corruption by use of the metaphor, ellipse, which etymologically means an imperfect circle: ellipse being a play on its opposite—perfect circle—the universal symbol of perfection..

The perfect circle is the Garden of Eden; it is where the history of all humans begins. It is a saga that we all are a part of, for it excludes none, and includes all of us. It is the story of the cosmic Evolutionary Intelligence (God) commanding itself (essence, spirit), to manifest itself to its uncreated self (the perfect man -HIGHER ADAM); then to its created self (fallen man - LOWER ADAM). This ladder of action is created in order that the EI can know an aspect of itself; or for the created self (fallen man -ellipse) to know creation and destruction. For he is the point of creation and destruction at the same time.

The perfect circle is a part our soul (inner makeup), the universal soul is God’s essence. We are the microcosm. God, or all-being and non-being, is the macrocosm. In reality, there is nothing but God, but God is so huge we cannot measure or quantify him, that is why it is a sin of idolatry to designate any one thing as divine in exclusion to anything else. It is said that the sin which will not be forgiven, is idolatry, and the sin of idolatry is not saying this or that is God, but in excluding any other thing from being God, that is idolatry.

We are holograms or copies of God - that is, all of us, excluding NONE. Our being or consciousness is our soul, which is eternal and universal. The soul is the machine that drives our consciousness.

A part of that soul - in spiritual technical jargon - is called the essence. This essence is metaphorically called the Garden of Eden in the psychic-spiritual scriptures. A replica of this garden is the solar system, in which our sun is the center of a tree (lineage consciousness / extended circle) of a huge inter-dimensional being, whose lineage circle is the solar system.

In the metaphysical aphorism, relating to the soul: four worlds, seven levels, and infinite dimensions. This last part (infinite dimensions), is the part of the soul known as the essence. The essence IS THE GARDEN OF EDEN; it is the perfect circle that has evolved to an ellipse - the imperfect circle.

Therefore, it should be known that the story of the Garden of Eden is an allegory of the fall or corruption of that part of the soul known as the essence. This is apart from the other two aspects of the inner soul, the Holy Spirit, and the Tao. This we will cover in-depth later in the narrative.

STATES AND STATIONS

“And We said: O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and eat ye freely of the fruits) thereof where ye will ; but come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrongdoers.”

Quran 2: 35

Here, Garden is symbolic of the source paradise or essence circle; while tree is the symbol for the essence states that I am here calling - metaphorically - circles (Figure 1). Fruits are the sublime, ecstatic states one gets when eating this celestial fruit, or invoking this consciousness inwardly.

Vine, tree, limbs (of the tree), lineage tree, (or) extension are all metaphors for the invocation - or entering into states and stations of consciousness. When a vine, tree, lineage extension, is invoked or entered into, a new tree - a physical replica of the previous tree - envelops the consciousness. Although the consciousness of the new tree is physically similar in terms of number of trees to the previous tree it came from, nonetheless it is a different consciousness-feeling from the previous tree.

In the beginning, the perfect man or Adam was owner of his inner Garden of Eden - paradise, as an uncreated reflection of the self of God (essence). He was master of the garden, he knew its laws and ways, and entered and enjoyed all the trees of the garden (states of pure consciousness) as an entertainment because he knew the science of states, and he had control of his states by way of control of his station.

In existence or being, the basic state of existence is the state made perfect and beautiful by acquisition of the station. The writers of the Bible and Quran use the symbol tree for these circles, or station-states of consciousness. In the perfect circle, all states and stations are perfect because they are uncreated, for it is only the created that has access to imperfection. The created can be perfect but only through evolutionary intelligence; therein is our hope and destiny. For we have been fallen by the hand of the EI; in order to know himself, and for us to know him. Even the perfect man “Our Fathers who art in Heaven” cannot know him like we can know him, for we, the lambs of God (the ellipse), the great sacrifice, are created. He said “I love that I be known so I created man (fallen man).

The perfect man knew the science of the self by birth and the science of the states by way of acquisition of the stations, or gardens wherein rivers flow - that is the garden of the soul.

These states were accessed by deep concentration, an art that was easy for primordial man (who was born with this ability), unlike today, where one has to practice years - sometimes decades - of concentration meditation to come close to the capacity primordial man had with his mind.

The inward science was very simple: there was a source garden (Essence) where nothing was before that and everything was after that, which was called merely the source, whose numerical value was the number five. It also was called the sun, also a circle. A replica of this inner and outer garden is the solar system. Each garden has at its core a powerful sun that serves as the center of the garden. As the planets revolve around the sun in our solar system, as the billions of others that we see and do not see in our universe, so the inner planets or (potential) states of our soul-consciousness revolve around our inner sun. The external is a replica of the real, or the inner, which is our real. The perfect being, Adam (higher and lower) in this garden knew all the laws of circular travel (science of states) or states of paradise; they were endless and eternal.

For example:

At station five, the source station, when one rested at that station, one had access to the paradise of the pure uncreated essence of the state therein. If one desired to go to station number 7 (number 7 station from the source station 5) and invoke or ascend in that consciousness, then one would enter that paradise and enjoy that station state. (Now recall, all of this is inner mental traveling). Then one would be at station 7 from station 5. At station 7, one could then ascend in station-state 12 from the 7, for example, enjoying that paradise. (By paradise I mean the pure consciousness bliss that one enjoys at each separate station-state, they are all different in feeling.) Then one could invoke the 7 state from the 12 (a repeat of the earlier 7, though of a different nature because it is the 7 from the 12, not 7 from the 5) station. On and on there is no end to these various states of consciousness-feelings of bliss, and pleasure (Figure 2, and 3.) Each state has a different consciousness-feeling. For instance, at the 5-circle state, one feels the awe and bliss of divine unity; in the 7-circle state one might feel the awesome happiness of freedom, at the 12-circle state, one would feel the essence of supreme safety in power. These are only analogies, for there are truly no words that can describe this paradise, one can only experience it. Recall that invoking a station-state means that it envelops the consciousness of the heart, and mind.

5-Source-circle-below, invoking 7-circle. 7-Circle is depicted emanating in consciousness - at right. Note: 7-circle position is expanded, reflecting what circle it is. Next the lower circle is emanated from the 7-circle, as the traveler chooses this circle [12] to emanate in their consciousness, following the 7.

Figure 2: Lawful circular traveling: When one enters a station-state, the particular state circle becomes expanded [or colored red] this enables the traveler to determine what station-state they are in, at any time. The circle numbers are constant, at any state; the only change is in the red coloring or expansion of the state you are experiencing. So for instance, at circle 7, the 5-circle is still in the middle, but now it is a 5-circle of the 7- circle. Previously the 5-circle was the 5 of the 5.

Figure 3: Lawful circular travel

At each station (twenty-two circles), the core was surrounded by nineteen revolving spheres or stations. Two other spheres exist inside the core of any station. Therefore, there are twenty two circles in the entire essence, fifteen lower spheres, the core sphere (5) being one of the fifteen, and seven upper spheres, known as the angelic circles. There are twelve lower circles, and seven higher circles revolving around a core circle with two inner circles. A perfect state in which no state could be anything like the other or no two-station states could ever be the same.

At each station-state (example above: 5-7-12) the consciousness or feeling of the person is different. They are blissful, joyful, though always different.

There are rules in circular travel and one rule is vitally important. The most important rule of circular motion is that at station 5, or the source station, one could not go to circle 4 (Figure 4, and 5). (Shortly in the narrative will be displayed what happens when this forbidden tree is invoked.)

That circle is known metaphorically as the forbidden tree. One could only enter and operate in the 4-circle after one entered any other circle from the 5 - source circle OTHER THAN THE FOUR.

In other words, one could go from, for instance, source circle 5 to 7 to 9 then (4) Or 5, 12 or (4) Or 5, 13 (4) Or 5, 2 (4)

Or 5, 8, 3 (4)

One could not do 5 to 4!

Figure 4: Unlawful circular travel. 5 to 4!

Figure 5: Unlawful circular travel. 5 to 4!

For the 4-circle, out of all of the circles, is a special circle, the circle of creation, and destruction, whose power and energy is too intense to enter at the source 5-circle.

In addition, if one entered circle 5 then 9, one could do any circle immediately next, but if one did the 9-circle that would lead back to the preceding circle, which in this case would be the source circle or 5. In other words, if one did 5, 8 then 8, one would return to the 5-circle. Alternatively, if one did 5, 9, 13, then 13, one would be at 9-circle.

Taking out, invoking, ascending in, entering into, drawing out, emanating, (eating fruit from the tree - the Quranic, and Biblical metaphor) all mean the same thing: inwardly, by deep concentration meditation, one leaves one station-state, and goes to another. The consciousness of a person becomes enveloped in that particular station-state of consciousness (fruit from the tree) for as long as they are there. They may return to the neutral 5-source station or descend further in another vine of consciousness, there is no end to this traveling. All these pure states of consciousness are indescribably blissful, that is why it is called paradise.

THE SUBSTANCE OF A CIRCLE

The word circle is our metaphor for the term “tree of paradise” which itself is a metaphor for the essence. A circle, station-state is a condition of consciousness. When a state envelopes the heart by the person ingesting it or bringing it into the consciousness through the psychic spiritual exercise of concentration meditation (not the concentration meditation we know today which is not even remotely similar to the original), it is like taking a powerful drug that does not wear off. A circle is entered via a stargate of concentration that the consciousness enters and becomes overwhelmed by its state.

A circle, essence, or tree of paradise, is therefore essentially a state of consciousness. It was at one point in our history a stable state.

Human beings are always in a circle, or state of consciousness. We humans are presently at a low state of consciousness (unstable) because we have fallen from the original perfect states of consciousness we possessed before the fall. Therefore, many times - most times for many people - we are suffering, miserable often, and experience a state of overall dissatisfaction. That is why we designate this condition an “ellipse” a term that denotes an imperfect circle.

At the time of, or before the fall, we had control of these states and stations of consciousness, unlike today, where we go from various moods and various states of uncontrollable feelings, thoughts, ideas, and emotions that render this present condition generally miserable. Before the fall, no conditions existed such as those I mentioned above, for any human. The states of consciousness in any circle were stable, intensely pleasurable, exciting, and immensely rewarding and peaceful, and most important, balanced.

And (unto man): O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden and eat from whence ye will, but come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrong doer.

This is a reference to the fact that in our pre-fallen times we could ascend or descend in any state or station in the Garden of Eden through deep concentration. These inner states are deeply hidden in us, today they are virtually unknown to us, as opposed to primordial man who easily entered and returned from these lofty paradise states at will. Even the methodology of accessing these subtle sublime states and stations of bliss is long lost.

In our present elliptical condition, when we do experience any real glimpse of happiness, peace, stability, or joy, it is only a glimpse of the rewarding states we had in primordial times. Like a flashback in an acid trip, to use a profane analogy. This is true because we are in a corrupted or perverted circle or state that is a poor replica of its original condition. The power and intensity of these states is so enormous that we can’t help feeling their intensity often, in glimpses, though nothing like it was in the period we enjoyed access to, and control of, them in primordial times. It is the negative feelings - fear, hatred, alienation - that are direct causes of the ellipse, or the corruption of our essence.

The original states have no degree of these feelings, which are energy-based - as all feelings are. Of course, these are negative energy-based feelings that will always exist as long as we are in the ellipse.

The apparent relative “stability” that we appear to experience is because we have consciousness of the three inner circles: 5, 6, and 15 (Figure 7). The 6 and 15 hold the basic elements of our consciousness: the lower mind, the Lataifs of the Sufis that reside in the 6-circle (Figure 8) - that are light-based, and the Chakras of yoga in the 15-circle (Figure 9) - that are fire-based. These are not circular states, in other words, one cannot extend them like the other 19 circles. They are the preservers of our fundamental life, being, and consciousness.

Figure 7: The three inner circles are not circular states, in other words one cannot extend them like the other 19 circles. They are the preservers of our fundamental life, being, and consciousness.

LATAIF COLOR CODE AND BODY CORRESPONDENCES

Figure 8: Lataifs are the subtle organs of perception that reside in the six circle. From the Sufi tradition, Lataifs are concentrated upon to gain enlightenment. These like the Chakras are associated with parts of the body, and color-coded, though the correspondence of the Lataifs with certain parts of the body is not literal, as are the Chakras.

CHAKRA CENTERS

Figure 9: Chakras (Wheels) associated with circle 15 are from the Yogic tradition, and are energy vortices that are associated with the parts of the body shown above.

The 5-circle, the core or sun circle, the principle of pure radiation or nothingness, or unity, is all of our inner core being that all the other 19 circles circumnavigate when the circle is at its perfection, not as an ellipse as it exists now.

In terms of the physical aspect of a circle? Well the best idea of this is to look at one of the planets as a particular circle. The solar system is a direct reflection of the structure of the Garden of Eden, and the sun is the source station and the planets are the circular states and stations that the being could ascend, descend in, and animate that consciousness anytime they wish.

A circle is entered through stargate technology, which is the science of going in and out of states of consciousness-circles; it is a conduit from one circle-dimension or (world-stage-state) to another. The stargate also sends the individual back to the original circle, or preceding circle or circles if one wants to do that. This stargate sends the consciousness to the new circle where it binds the heart to it and the individual senses the new state and tastes its consciousness-feeling.

Much of this New Age, the movies and TV shows about stargates and wormholes, has come about because this psychic technology is slowly returning to humans’ consciousness as we progress back to the ancient knowledge we lost. The brilliant new-age mythologist William Henry is a great source for knowledge of this lore.

These states are indescribably sublime, and each state is different from the others, and produces pleasurable feelings unlike anything humans could imagine. No drug or other artificial device can match this experience. In fact, drugs, alcohol, movies, sex, and things like this that humans have indulged in are only their unconscious attempt at garnishing some of the primordial paradise states we had before the fall. This, though, has to be reacquired through spiritual wisdom and science, these (unconscious) artificial attempts at duplicating this ancient spiritual technology through these means will not produce anything because this knowledge starts with controlling oneself through legitimate metaphysical sciences. Remember, this is all imprinted on our soul history, we have no choice but to practice artificial examples of what we did in primordial times in the paradise therein.
