Let's turn things around, for a change: what is God
not
We assume God to be limitless, and thus, somewhere in the
allness of God we bump into the devil floating around mischievously. Obviously the devil isn’t
God, is it? The devil is, if anything, the opposite of God. The spirit of
darkness, whereas God is the source of light, and yet God is all.
For the rational mind this poses a minor difficulty, yet we
can easily get around it by assuming these things are simply beyond our
comprehension, one; or two, that God had to allow angels to fall in order that
there be free will on Earth, so it’s all part of God’s ineffable divine plan.
Two’s pretty good, isn’t it? but you could pick holes in it if you really
wanted to. It all depends what you want to believe.
Now, many people have stopped believing in the devil at all,
or in God for that matter. They are either atheists who believe in not-God –
that God most certainly doesn’t exist, or they’re part of the higher
intelligence crowd – that there’s some kind of higher consciousness out there, universal
designer, or higher intelligence who is responsible for things being the way
they are – but we don’t need to be too specific, and it certainly isn’t the
kind of God that religions like to espouse. It’s not unlike the internet,
perhaps – which doesn’t have one authority making and controlling it, but which
is collaborative – millions of minds working together – accidentally or
intuitively, helping it to grow and evolve.
So there are lots of possible ideas about who or what God
may be, and we seem to be growing increasingly comfortable accepting a
non-proprietorial God – one who is not defined or determined by any one group
or organisation – be it a church, a people or state.
But I’m interested in the other side of God – what God is
not, not because I’m looking for a devil. I don’t actually believe -1 is the
opposite of +1. In my understanding the opposite of 1 is 0, the absence of 1;
and 0, as I understand it, may seem to be a mere void or absence to us 1ers,
but that merely demonstrates our failure, our inability to see the other side
of things. There’s another parallel universe, or a flip side to this one, in
which 0ers don’t see themselves as 0, in the same way Australians don’t see
themselves as being upside down. The 0ers in their reality are in fact 1ers,
but their reality is moving in contra-direction to our own. I’m assuming the
two sides, the two worlds hold each other in balance somehow or other. It seems
logical, does it not? So we gaily assume that we’re alone in the universe, that
we’re basically in control of things, but in actual fact we’re probably part of
a binary system which is deeply, fundamentally structural.
Er? What does that mean?
Good question Ramone. Er... I’ll have to think about that –
sometimes I get carried away by my own eloquence, and there’s no knowing what I
just said. But in all seriousness, the 0ers are 1ers on the other side of the
consciousness axis. That means that, from our perspective, how they think, what
they do all seems completely incomprehensible, so much so that they are
absolutely invisible to us. Bear in mind that they are not separated by time or
space – for these are not fundamental, merely ways of organising our reality. Time-and-space
is a question of where you put the pieces on the chessboard, whereas 0ers exist
in the zero of chessboard, the nought of chess pieces, the vacuum or void of
space and time. Sounds a bit cold and inhospitable to us, does it not, but I
assure you, they are as adapted to their reality as we are to ours, and even
more bizarre, I assure you that their reality is as ours is, and they are as we
are – if you could view them through the right lens or reflected in the right
mirror – you would be seeing yourself – and it would probably be a reverse big
bang experience – you’d probably collapse back into neither 0 nor 1ness – which
is er... actually there’s no name for that state.
Oh dear – it all started so promisingly and ended, as
always, in complete and utter confusion.
Look – it doesn’t have to be confusing. Let me pull my
rabbit out of the hat. You’ve all had dreams, have you not? Now, before you
sigh and insist that dreams are just dreams, let me tell you that the dreams
are only dreams because at the moment you haven’t figured out how to factor
zero into the equation. I mean, you haven’t learnt to address and work with the
other side of
Of what?
Of
Go on... what?
Of... er... of Is.
Is? What on earth is Is?
It’s er... it is – but it’s not “what”. It can’t be known or
defined as “something”. It’s an isness.
Oh God. Is that all you’ve got to say for yourself. I’m
going back to sleep.
No, no, wait a moment.
Too late. Snoring sounds.
Ah ha – now I’ve got you – because I’ve been working with
Is, the other side of God – the side that didn’t create particular things,
didn’t then make a man called Adam and get him to name those things – didn’t do
all that – but carried on in non-specificity, aware that God was doing his
thing on our side of creation – that a whole world, a vast universe was coming
into being, and yet, from the perspective of Is – all that was but a dream
which we thingers, tinkers or thinkers happen to be living in. Heard that
before, haven’t you? – that we’re just part of someone’s dream – and how would
we know?
So, if this is true, and there’s only one way to find out –
then the 0ers of Is, as opposed to the 1ers of God, are alive and well in a non-spatial,
non-timey universe which just happens to intersect or be an integral part of
our own – only we’re not aware of it or them, because they’re folded into the
gaps between 1, between things, between bits – and we’re only ever aware of 1s,
things, bits on the 3D screen of our utterly life-like reality, unless, that
is, we wise up to their existence and start to engage them noughtfully.
Snoring like a baby – but now it’s time for me to call on my
beautiful gnomiki. I may not be good at all the shamanic stuff like lucid
dreaming, astral projectioning, and altered states of consciousness, but I am
pretty good at connecting with gnomiki – which are not, in fact, gnomes or
dwarfs in the traditional sense – more like “fairies”, “spirits” or emissaries
of 0/is.
Now, my friends in the scientific community know all about
quantum effects such as entanglement which are supposed to only happen at the
sub atomic level – but in the Kermit the frog hermetic tradition we work on the
basis of scaleability – “as above so below” – so things that can happen at a
sub-atomic level can also be observed in some similar fashion occurring at the
macro level – whether our human scale, or on the planetary or galactic plains.
It’s really very convenient – so now that Ramone is dreaming like a baby, I can
invite the gnomiki to engage him from the other side. This should be fun.
Bear in mind that when a person is sleeping – he, she no
longer differentiates between the two sides of 0 and 1. In the past shamans
used this to great effect – they were able to communicate with one another
through dreams – having skype meetings at any distance. They could even travel
unimaginable distances by waking in another place – which is possible if you’ve
kept your attachment point to 3D reality clean as a whistle. If, however,
you’ve allowed it to grow heavy with emotional or material concerns, then
waking in another place could and probably would kill you – which is why we
seem to have lost the ability. It’s just we have a system administrator inside
who ensures that we don’t go beyond our present capabilities inadvertently. So
we’re not going to try to shift Ramone anywhere in space and time, nothing
dangerous like that. We’re going to give him the opportunity to get an idea of
0/Is, so if you’ll allow me to start doing my stuff, I’ll get the gnomiki to do
theirs.

– in case you haven’t
guessed – I’m doing some drumming. When I hit the right note, the right
frequency, the right um... whatever it is – then I feel the walls of space and
time which seem to be immoveable most the time – swaying, growing thin,
thinner, dissolving...
Ah – there we are.
Hi Ramone, how’s it
going?
Hi Teepee [that’s
what he calls me, long story] yeah I’m
doing fine. Just having a bit of a rest.
Now bear in mind
guys, that when you’re dreaming you don’t see it that way – quite the opposite
in fact – you see it as being back to base, as in the movie Avatar – that our
3D reality is in fact the more virtual reality, and “dream” merely refers to
the innate ability to shift wavelengths in an almost unlimited spectrum, and then
fix and hold the new bandwidth – revealing an entire world. Sounds impressive
but it’s much the same as changing radio stations by twisting a dial.
You’re – kind of
different Teepee. Wait a minute. You’re not telling me you’ve just waltzed in
corporeally?
Kind of. Been doing a spot of drumming. Actually I’m setting
up a 0/is anomaly.
Yeah? How’s that?
Can’t you remember?
Er... remember what?
Go on – I’ve already given you a clue.
A 0/is anomaly – that’s like short circuiting the system –
getting it to reflect itself back, kind of collapsing the illusion
...or Matrix, that’s right.
Humm... wait a second – didn’t I fall asleep in your living
room just now?
I er... don’t know – there’s only one way to find out.
Oh come on Teepee – it’s my breaktime – don’t send me back
in right now.
Just have a quick glance. Do the 0/is loop.
Now guys – bear in
mind that here in dreamland central, which is neither 0 nor 1, it’s possible to
access both sides. If Ramone wakes up in the normal way then it’ll be
problematic for him to fall asleep again – so he doesn’t want to do that. But,
you can always come back to your self by flying the whole way round the world,
so to speak – and taking a glance from the other side of infinity. It may seem
a long way to fly – but these are just numbers – they really don’t matter – so
instead of waking up – Ramone does the opposite – he goes into a further,
deeper sleep – which is actually very easy to do from dream central – you just
kind of readjust your consciousness with no great effort, and feel yourself falling
down through yourself into notness – into nought – carry on all the way until
you’ve fallen all the way through their reality – and you come out the other
side, beyond infinity, back in our world – which is where Ramone now is –
seeing me standing next to him banging my drum
Dum da da dum
Dum da da dum
Dum da da dum
– ah there you are
Ramone – good job – you’ve kindly completed the loop – now – if you’d be so
kind – put your hands on my shoulders – excellent!
Before Ramone knows what I’m doing – I put my hands on his,
ie. the sleeping Ramone’s shoulders, and fall into him.
It’s a funny quantum thing – but either he dematerialises or
I do – you never can tell – and the observer who could do so wouldn’t be able
to, because he/she would prevent it from happening by watching – or fainting –
in which case... you get it?
So there we are – a textbook demonstration of 0/is anomaly.
At this moment in time Ramone and I have short circuited the entire 3D paradigm
– but don’t worry – almost no one noticed – the system – as you’re probably
aware – is infinitely resilient to acts of vandalism like this and almost
instantaneously boots up a parallel version of itself – but – and here I need
to capitalise – BUT – there’ll always be some observable difference between the
original and the system recovery version – like the kid’s game spot the
difference – it’s a lot of fun.
So where were we?
Actually, I’m not sure – you see, you may imagine we both
wake up in dream space; others among you may assume we resume our conversation here
in 3D, but there’ll be a few daring ones who are hypothesising that the system
recovery version of 3D is in fact a 0/is experience – that your mind, body and
soul migrates across into nothingness until you have that – hang on – am I
still dreaming moment – at which point you experience a sudden jolt, what was
that? and you’re back here in 3D with a hazy recollection of something weird
having just transpired. Yeah – I like that one best – let’s go with it.
JOLT
Er?
Hang on, what was that? I’m sure I just saw you dressed as
an elephant sitting on an a flat note between two gamma rays.
Yes – that’s about right Ramone. That’s why we call it a 0/is
anomaly.
Oh my God! And we met in dream whatever it is...
Central.
That’s right. How come I’ve never recollected dream central
before?
Amazing the way the mind forgets these things, isn’t it?
Like, you wake up and a few minutes later you can’t even remember what your
dream was all about.
Yeah – but this wasn’t a dream – this was what is it called
anyway?
Not what.
Not what?
Yeah – if you name it it becomes part of your 3D inventory –
so it can’t be named. “Not what” isn’t a name – just a description – like the
term God.
But how come I’ve never recalled Not what? It’s like I spend
half my life there.
Yes, but as you yourself said, you’re in your right mind
here, and besides, the mind is a careful programmed machine that works on a
need to know basis. Without the need to know – Toe protocol, as we call it,
nothing would make sense any more – you’d not be able to continue functioning
as a half wit.
Hey, wait a minute – who are you calling a half wit?
Well 3/4s wit now that you’ve managed to remember the other
side of what.
Do you have to be offensive Teepee?
Yes, it’s my nature – but I can try and fight it if you
like. Actually, I’m congratulating you – imagine how difficult it’s been for me
conversing with you all these years, with only half your awareness functional.
Oh... that must’ve been seriously dull.
But we’re getting there at last, aren’t we? You just
established an irrefutable data point. Successfully completing a 0/is anomaly
ensures that your conscious-awareness now has to start questioning things,
fundamentally. The end is nigh. You’re going to experience...
Don’t Teepee – your frightening me. I don’t want to
experience all that... I just want to be normal.
Too late. There’s no going back. Your body can’t forget what
it’s just gone through.
You bastard. You had no right to do that to me.
Tee hee, ha ha – you’re right! But it was fun, and now
life’s going to be a whole lot more interesting, watching you coming to terms
with...
What?
Not
