It is a collection of ideas from many brilliant minds that are to be integrated into a single framework, even though some of the topics covered may initially appear to be unrelated. The concepts are eventually put together to form a comprehensive view of the world, a world which can simultaneously interact with both the physical and the metaphysical. Toward this end, we commence to build a model of creation that not only includes the perspectives accepted by science, particularly physics and cosmology, but which also includes the perspectives of the metaphysical community, the religious, psychic, and esoteric epistemologies. In short, we look for a theoretical framework where religion and science can thrive together, where psychics and physicists can become enthralled with each others' complimentary perspectives! We hold that all serious, thinking, and responsible folk over the ages have brought out realities of existence as known by them, in good faith. This includes the teachings of a Jesus, a Buddha, or a Mohammed. We freely mix their methods of expression with the vocabularies of science. Rather than dismissing religious phenomena, we instead look for a theoretical model to bring them into the world of hard science. We bring up psychic experiences, mysticism, live mantra, miracles, hypnotism, imagination, invocation, and other related topics with the motive of tying them together with physics rather than disassociating them from physics. We need a physical model of the universe that can explain psychic and religious experiences as well as the whole mind-body system of man. Such an ancient model already exists, based on the tattvas of tantra, and we begin by describing its ideas. We simultaneously develop a more technical vocabulary to describe these esoteric expressions in terms that are more useful with modern science and instrumentation techniques. We expand a tantra and tattva based model which is capable of joining the realities of man, matter, and consciousness. Consciousness and live mantra are postulated to be some sort of boson field which has physical properties similar to that of photons. Consciousness is thereby literally depicted as a modified form of light having extremely high vibratory rates. The mind is considered to exist independently of the brain, though it is most normally tightly coupled to the brain. Psychic and mystical experiences are explained in terms of photon energy transformations between the subtle mind and the brain. A holographic theoretical model of man coupled to the universe evolves. The model considers the dictates of special and general relativity, which allows for such a free flowing liaison between the physical and the presently called metaphysical. A new breed of mind on matter experiments is discussed, where mind directly and indirectly stimulates physical sensors and other tools of the physicist. Note that throughout this writing, I generally refer to myself in plural (we, us, our) as most of the thoughts presented are composite formations that probably emerged out of the mouths of innumerable other persons, groups, and past or present associations, both seen and unseen. I therefore freely offer up authorship of any thoughts presented to whomever might feel entitled. An extensive bibliography of pertinent mystical, metaphysical, and scientific source materials is included in the appendix. The yoga s–tras, siva s–tras, and a system of tattvas are directly cited throughout this writing, as they form the core thinking and the primary ancient authority behind this whole writing. The s–tras are short, terse aphorisms deriving from the ancient wisdom of the Vedas. They are cited as needed with Sanskrit transliteration, which may be directly used by the reader in related experiments on quality of sound (no knowledge of Sanskrit is necessary). There are many other interwoven thoughts, often seemingly unrelated and coming from separate disciplines. They are included because they are needed to collectively form the basis of a new composite reality called a holographic model of man in the world. Now a brief outline of the seven chapters: Chapter 1 - The Floating Magic of Live Mantra The glue that assembles the thoughts in this book is live mantra, which is developed and supported by appropriate siva s–tras and yoga s–tras. The sakti energy derived through live mantra is the real magic that dramatically increases vibrancy to all of life, from sex, to career fulfillment, to dramatic psychic experiences, to enlightenment. The varying states of live mantra are associated with the floating structure of consciousness itself, from the waking and dreaming states through to god and unity consciousness. The subtle mind is correlated with live mantra by way of the s–tras, and both are simultaneously described as a swirling collection of photons, nearly as described by physics. The never ending floating relationship between the seer, the process of seeing, and the seen is extensively developed, as it is the basis of nearly everything which follows. Chapter 2 - Roving Mind among the Tattvas of Tantra The tattvas describe different states or layers of existence where the floating consciousness may settle. The tattvas are variously described in all six systems of Indian philosophy and they ultimately come from tantra, another of the ancient lines of wisdom from the Vedas. Mantra, possessed by everyone even if not enlivened, is the vehicle that transforms consciousness from tattva to tattva. The tattvas become known through a flow of grace, a flow of sakti. The appearance of sakti energy is transformed from layer to layer, as one's roving consciousness moves from the most abstract and mentally creative realms of existence, to the most solidified and physically active realms on earth. The theoretical model of holographic mind begins to develop as thoughts and vocabularies of modern science are superimposed over the ancient tantra model. Chapter 3 - Psychic Visions and Mystical Experiences A series of experiments, mental exercises, psychic visions, and mystical experiences are outlined and discussed under the framework of teachings from which they evolve: the Rosicrucians, Silva Mind Control, and Edgar Cayce readings, all from or related to western esoteric traditions. The topics covered include: healing, projection, out-of-body experiences, unseen masters, the Great White Brotherhood, mystical sounds, psychic energy, rituals, symbols, white light, and reincarnation. Such phenomena are correlated among the groups themselves and with the s–tras, the tattvas, and the Veda of eastern teachings, where similar threads of thought are sought out to establish a common reality and a more scientific vocabulary. The extraordinary psychic phenomena that are experienced by many form another cornerstone of the generalized holographic man-world model. Chapter 4 - Veda and its Potent Tradition of Masters A brief overview of Veda and the seven steps of learning Transcendental Meditation are presented in context with eastern methodologies that increase the flow of sakti energy. Live mantra is brought to consciousness through a powerful initiation ceremony, a Vedic tradition of masters brought forward by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Initiation ceremonies and the overwhelming dynamic process of invocation to both seen and unseen masters are critically discussed, to sort out just how live mantra manages to surface so remarkably to the great joy and well being of recipients. The reason why mantra becomes live mantra more clearly emerges. The ultimate meaning of Veda and guru is tied to the sakti of mantra. The consciousness transformation power of Sanskrit sounds are developed both in terms of pragmatic experience and theoretical modeling. Chapter 5 - Miraculous Power of Invocation and Hypnosis Invocation and hypnosis are seen to be the superstructures that overlay the throbbing mantra of consciousness, in light of the many experiences and developments from preceding chapters. They miraculously affect the flow of consciousness through all aspects of life, and are seen equivalent to samyama and siddhis, the super attainments or extraordinary powers, as developed by the ancient s–tras. The siddhis are real and they are fun to do for everyone, with or without live mantra! Enigmas concerning the operational mechanisms of siddhis, samyama, invocation, hypnosis, and belief become less problematic when they are discussed in context with the qualities and structure of the subtle body and the subtle mind. The extraordinary levels of awareness developed from the siddhis are examined in context with the emerging holographic model. Chapter 6 - The Word of Jesus and Walking on Water The Word, as it appears at the very beginning of the New Testament's Book of John and as used by Jesus is seen to be synonymous with live mantra. Several dozen verses among the sayings of Jesus concerning the Word and the holy spirit are examined to correlate with the live mantra of TM and with the sakti flowings of the Rosicrucians and Silva Mind Control. The levitation group of siddhis from the s–tras are discussed in terms of Peter's walking on water and the motivational inhibitions which affect a regular repetition of such an experience. Several out-of-body psychic experiences and other amazing externally manifesting phenomena which developed out of a Star War's high power laser and plasma lamp research project are now explained in light of the new found vocabulary and developments of the preceding chapters. Chapter 7 - A Holographic Model of Man in the World The holographic model is further developed from the original tantric model with the mathematics of Fourier Transforms and through the implications of both special and general relativity. The home of live mantra, the domain of god consciousness, is equated, approximately, with physics' vacuum state. The infinitesimal wavelengths associated with the photons of pure consciousness are related to a Planck length where random quantum fluctuations of the vacuum state become noticeable. The movement among states of consciousness, among the tattvas, is correlated to natural events within general relativity's curved space time. These concepts are further correlated with the ancient s–tras, all the way to liberation and enlightenment. A brief overview and outline is given of an experimental measurements program presently under way, to verify this grand holographic model.
