Comments of Brother Martin ( The originality of this philosopher and theologian, who has been brought up in the dual culture: Indian and Christian, consists in the marriage of wisdom and prophetic traditions in the person of Jesus-Christ) on the seven key points of the theory of Double Causality proposed by Mr. Philippe Guillemant (http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,26159.0.html):
Comments of Brother Martin ( The originality of this philosopher and theologian, who has been brought up in the dual culture: Indian and Christian, consists in the marriage of wisdom and prophetic traditions in the person of Jesus-Christ) on the seven key points of the theory of Double Causality proposed by Mr. Philippe Guillemant (http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,26159.0.html):
1. OUR DESTINY IS ALREADY REALIZED IN THE FORM OF A TEMPORAL LINE:
The destiny of our creation and human existence is to realize that we are already one with the ground of our existence, which we call God, eternal self or unified field of energy. It is like a piece of ice floating in the infinite ocean realizing that it is ocean. It is manifesting eternity in time and space- in the temporal line. This truth has to be realized in the temporal line or horizontal movement of time and space. Our temporal line projects our destiny into the future whereas it is already here and now. In the Genesis story humanity is manifested to live the life of fullness but out of ignorance it (Adam and Eve) choses the path of becoming, the path of time and lives a fragmented life. The purpose of our temporal line is to reconnect itself to the eternity and manifest the life of fullness in time and space and in human relationships.
2. OUR TEMPORAL LINE IS NOT FIXED: IT CAN BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER LINE PARALLEL WITH THE PRESENT ( IN THE MULTIVER'S NET WORK):
We have different levels of consciousness within us: individual, collective and universal and finally unitary consciousness or divine consciousness. They are parallel to each other and the higher embraces the lower. The first two move in a temporal line of time and space. This movement oscillates between the individual consciousness and the collective consciousness. Our temporal movement is not fixed and it can be replaced by another line according to the level of consciousness it lives. The last two levels do not belong to the temporal line. They belong to the level of timeliness and eternity. Since their nature is fullness they do not move in a horizontal line but manifest vertically. They are nonlocal and non-space. It is eternal fullness manifesting its fullness in time and space. The time and space are freed from the burden of becoming, from the burden of psychological past and psychological future become vehicles of fullness.
3. ALL THAT WHICH IS NOT DETERMINED BY THE PAST IS DETERMINED BY THE FUTURE:
Our present life is determined by our individual past or collective past. Our collective past is very powerful. For example, religious belief systems which began somewhere in the past determine the way we live our life in the present. If we free ourselves from the past then we are determined by our individual or collective ambitions or goals which are our future. Hence our present is not free. It is very much determined either by the past or by the future. A person who moves into the universal consciousness transcends the past and the future and lives in the eternal present. This universal consciousness embraces the past, present and future but also transcends them.
4. THE FUNCTION OF PRESENT IS NOT TO CREATE REALITY ( IT IS ALREADY CREATED) BUT TO CHOOSE OUR COMMON FUTURE BY THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ALL OUR CONSCIOUSNESS:
The function of our present consciousness is not to create anything new but to surrender to the consciousness that is beyond our temporal line. The consciousness that transcends our temporal line can be described as unitary consciousness- or Unified field of Energy. Our common future and common destiny is to return to the source from which we have been manifested. We are all like prodigal sons or daughters returning to our divine Father or Mother. It is going back to our original unity,-nonlocal and non-space consciousness.
5. CHOICE IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OUR FREE WILL GENERALLY IS ILLUSORY: AUTHENTIC FREEDOM REQUIRES A MENTAL UNCONDITIONING AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING:
When we are living in our individual consciousness or collective consciousness our will and intellect are very much conditioned either by individual desires or collective belief systems or goals. We do not have free will but conditioned free will. Our so called freewill is an illusion. In our spiritual awakening we move away from the individual and collective conditionings and enter into the universal consciousness where we discover our inner fullness and freedom. We realize that we are free from past and future. It opens to infinite possibilities to manifest our fullness. It is freedom from becoming. It is freedom from the compulsions of time. In order to give birth to this universal consciousness our minds need to be unconditioned. In the Christian Tradition we have the archetypal symbol of Virgin Mary who gives birth to the Son of God- universal consciousness. A virgin is an unconditioned mind which facilitates spiritual awakening and gives birth to the Son of God, who lives in the universal consciousness where real freedom and free will are possible. Where there is no freedom we cannot speak of free will. This truth is again realized in the person of Jesus Christ at his baptism in which he transcends conditioned individual will and collective will and enters into the universal consciousness where he can say 'I am the way, the truth and the life'. This is the statement of authentic freedom born of un-conditioning of the mind and spiritual awakening.
6. EVERY CHANGE IN THE TEMPORAL LINE IS MADE BY GLIDING, SLIDING OR DISPLACEMENT ALONG THE SUPPLEMENTARY INTERIOR DIMENSIONS OF THE UNIVERSE:
Our spiritual evolution is made by gliding, sliding or displacement. In our spiritual growth we may move up and down. We may enter into crisis and displace one belief with another belief, one desire with another desire, one goal with another goal. We may also move from individual consciousness to collective consciousness and from the collective to the individual. We may also move from the individual to the universal without moving into the collective. For example today the European society has very much moved away from the collective consciousness to the individual consciousness. It felt that the collective consciousness ( based on religious beliefs) was very oppressive. God also is seen as an oppressor who takes away the human freedom. Religions are seen as the source of conflict and violence. The society is very much based on individualism. Importance is given to individual freedom and fulfillment. The chances are that this extreme individualism of the European consciousness may open the door to the universal consciousness (not falling back into the collective consciousness) and then to the unitary consciousness of the divine. The universal consciousness is the new covenant that God of the Biblical tradition promised. In this New Covenant human beings discover the inner truth written in their hearts and live from that truth. They will have the freedom to say 'I am the way, the truth and the life'. Unitary consciousness is the unified field of energy that embraces many supplementary levels of consciousness in which change happens by gliding, sliding and displacement.
7. LOVE IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS GLIDING OR SLIDING TOWARD INTERIOR SPACE(7D'?),LIKE GRAVITATION IS FOR EXTERIOR SPACE(3D):WE ATTRACT AND ARE ATTRACTED BY THAT WHICH WE LOVE:
Love is the ultimate magnetic force. It is the source of all sources of energy. Creation and human consciousness are like the rays of Sun that move away from the Sun but they are all pulled back by the same energy that dispersed them. The Sun is like the magnet and the ray is like a piece of iron. They attract each other. Just as the Sun and its rays are always connected, so also we are all connected to our source which is love. But the rays can be conditioned and resist the full of the magnet of love and go through a process of gliding or sliding and displacement. The source of all our attractions is Love. Though it may begin with conditioned love but ultimately this process facilitates towards unconditioned love, which we call God, the Source of material universe, energy and consciousness. All our desires are ultimately desires for our Source, though we may project them into external objects and people. This journey towards love is interior. A mystic has said: when I look outside I find myself as a bubble in the ocean but when I look within I find the whole universe as a bubble within me. When we look at the universe or universes or Metaverse from our physical body we feel that we are like a bubble in the ocean but when we discover our inner space then we discover that the whole of manifested world is like a bubble within us. Theologically we can say that the whole of creation is in God. If God is in us then the whole of creation is also within us. The Metaverse is like a bubble in the ocean of our heart. In this experience we discover that creation is happening now. We are the creator and also co-creators and finally creation. Jesus Christ said 'the kingdom of God is within you' and 'I am in the Father (God) and the Father(God) in me'.
In the Chandogya Upanishad we read:
In the center of the castle of Brahman, our own body,
There is a small shrine in the form of a lotus-flower,
And within can be found a small space. We should find who dwells there, and we should want to know him.
And if anyone asks, "Who is he who dwells in a small shrine
In the form of a lotus-flower
In the center of the castle of Brahman?
Whom should we want to find and to know?" we can answer:
The little space within the heart is as great as this vast universe.
The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon
And the stars: fire and lightning and winds are there;
And all that now is and all that is not:
For the whole universe is in Him and He dwells within our heart."
Love is also relationships based on our intrinsic oneness. It is loving one another just as God loves us. It is to be 'fruitful and multiply', which is to manifest the divine attributes of love, compassion and sharing in our relationships with other human beings, others creatures both sentient and non-sentient. Jesus said, 'love one another as I have loved you'. This is the love manifested from the intrinsic oneness of God and creation. Isa Upanishad says' a sage is one who sees all beings within oneself and oneself in all beings' and ' a sage does not hurt himself/herself by hurting others'. This is living in the experience of oneness with God and oneness with creation. This is the non-dualistic love manifesting in non-dualistic relationships and non-dualistic actions.
