[Music] in the beginning was the logos the Big Bang the primordial M Big Bang Theory says that the physical Universe spiraled out of an unimaginably hot and dense single point called a singularity billions of times smaller than the head of a pin it does not say why or how the more mysterious something is the more we take for granted that we understand [Music] it it was thought that eventually gravity would either slow the expansion or contract the universe in a big crunch however images from the Hubble Space Telescope show that the universe's expansion seems to be actually accelerating expanding faster and faster as it grows out of the Big Bang somehow there is more mass in the universe than physics predicted to account for the missing Mass physicists now say that the Universe consists of only 4% Atomic matter or what we consider normal matter 23% of the universe is dark matter and 73% is dark energy what we previously thought of as empty space it is like an invisible nervous system that runs throughout the Universe connecting all things the ancient vict teachers taught not a Brahma the universe is vibration the vibratory field is at the root of all true spiritual experience and scientific investigation it is the same field of energy that Saints Buddhas yogis Mystics priests shamans and SE have observed by looking within [Music] themselves it is been called Akasha the primordial M indas net of jewels The Music of the Spheres and a thousand other names throughout history it is the common root of all [Music] religions and the link between our inner worlds and our outer [Music] [Applause] [Music] worlds in Mahayana Buddhism in the 3rd Century they described a cosmology not unlike the most advanced physics of modern day indra's net of jewels is a metaphor used to describe a much older viic teaching which illustrates the way the fabric of the universe is woven together Indra the king of the Gods gave birth to the Sun and moved moves the winds and the waters imagine a spiderweb that extends into all Dimensions the web is made up of do drops and every drop contains the reflection of all the other water drops and in each reflected do drop you will find the reflections of all the other droplets the entire web in that reflection and so on to Infinity 's web could be described as a holographic Universe where even the smallest stream of light contains the complete pattern of the whole the Serbian American scientist Nikolai Tesla is sometimes referred to as the man who invented the 20th century Tesla was responsible for discovering alternating current electricity and many other creations that are now part of everyday life because of his interest in the ancient viic Traditions Tesla was in a unique position to understand science through both an eastern and western model like all great scientists Tesla looked deeply into the mysteries of the outer world but he also looked deeply within himself like the ancient yogis Tesla used the term Akasha to describe the etheric field that extends throughout all things Tesla studied with Swami Viva commanda a yogi who brought the ancient teachings of India to the West in the vict teachings Akasha is space itself the space that the other elements fill which exist simultaneously with vibration the two are inseparable Akasha is yin to Pros yang [Music] a modern concept that can help us to conceptualize aasha where the primary substance is the idea of [Music] fractals it wasn't until the 1980s that advances in computers allowed us to actually visualize and reproduce mathematically the patterns in nature the term fractal was coined in 1980 by mathematician benoa mandelo who studied certain simple mathematical equations that when they are repeated produce an unending array of changing mathematical or geometrical forms within a limited framework they are limited but at the same time [Music] infinite a fractal is a rough geometric shape that can be split into Parts Each of which is at least approximately A reduced size copy of the whole pattern a property called self-similarity mandal Bros fractals have been called the thumbprint of [Music] [Music] God you are seeing artwork generated by Nature itself if you turn the mandalo figure a certain way it looks sort of like a Hindu deity or Buddha this figure has being termed the Buddha bro [Music] figure if you look at some forms of ancient art in architecture you will see that humans have long Associated Beauty and the sacred with fractal [Music] patterns infinitely complex yet every part contains the seed to recreate the whole fractals have changed mathematicians views of the universe and how it operates with each new level of magnification there are differences from the original constant change and transformation occurs as we Traverse from one level of fractal detail to another this transformation is the cosmic spiral the embedded intelligence of the Matrix of time [Music] space [Music] [Applause] [Music] fractals are inherently chaotic full of noise and Order when our minds recognize or Define a pattern we focus on it as if it is a thing we try to find the patterns we see as beautiful but in order to hold the pattern in our minds we must push away the rest of the [Music] fractal to comprehend a fractal with the senses is to limit its movement all energy in the universe is neutral Timeless dimensionless our own creativity and capacity for pattern recognition is the link between the microcosm and macrocosm the Timeless world of waves and the solid world of [Music] things observation is an Act of Creation through limitation inherent in thinking we are creating the illusion of solidity of things by labeling by naming the philosopher kirkgard said if you name me you negate me by giving me a name a label you negate all of the other things I could possibly be you lock the particle into being a thing by pinning it down naming it but at the same time you are creating it defining it to exist creativity is our highest nature with a creation of things comes time which is what creates the illusion of solidity Einstein was the first scientist to realize that what we think of as empty space is not nothing it has properties an intrinsic to the nature of space is nearly unfathomable amounts of energy the renowned physicist Richard fan once said there is enough energy in a single cubic meter of space to boil all the oceans in the world Advanced meditators know that in the Stillness lies the greatest power the Buddha had yet another term for the primary substance what he termed kapus which are like tiny particles or wavelets that are arising and passing away trillions of times per [Music] second reality is in this sense like a series of frames in a holographic film camera moving quickly so as to create the illusion of continuity when Consciousness becomes perfect still the illusion is understood because it is consciousness itself that drives the [Music] illusion [Music] in the ancient traditions of the East it has been understood for thousands of years that all is vibration naab Brahma the the universe is sound the word Nat means sound or vibration and Brahma is the name for God Brahma simultaneously is the universe and is the creator the artist and the art are [Music] inseparable in the upanishads one of the oldest human records from ancient India it is said Brahma the Creator sitting on a Lotus open opens his eyes and a world comes into [Music] being Brahma closes his eyes and a world goes out of [Music] being ancient Mystics yogis and Sears have maintained that there is a field at the root level of Consciousness the akashic field or the akashic records where all information all experience past present and future exists now and always it is this field or Matrix from which all things arise from subatomic particles to galaxies stars planets and all [Music] life you never see anything in its totality because it is made up of layer upon layer of vibration and it is Con constantly changing exchanging information with aasha a tree is drinking in the Sun the air the rain the [Music] earth a world of energy moves in and out of this thing we call a tree when the thinking mind is still then you see reality as it is all aspects together the tree and the sky and the Earth the rain and the stars are not separate life and death self and other are not separate just as the mountain and the valley are inseparable in the Native American and other indigenous Traditions it is said that everything has Spirit which is simply another way of saying everything is connected to the one vibratory source there is one Consciousness one field one force that moves through all this field is not happening around you it is happening through you and happening as you you are the you in Universe you are the eyes through which creation sees itself when you wake from a dream you realize that everything in the dream was you you were creating it so-called real life is no different everyone everything is you the one Consciousness looking out of every eye under every [Music] Rock within every particle [Music] International researchers at CERN the European laboratory for particle physics are searching for this field that extends throughout all things but instead of looking within they look to the outer physical world researchers at the CERN laboratory in Geneva Switzerland announced that they had found the Hig Bon or the God particle the higs Bon experiments prove scientifically that an invisible energy field fills the vacuum of [Music] space cern's large hron collider consists of a ring 17 mi in circumference in which two beams of particles race in opposite directions converging and smashing together at nearly the speed of light scientists observe what comes out of the violent collisions [Music] the standard model cannot account for how particles get their Mass everything appears to be made of vibration but there is no thing being [Music] vibrated it is as if there has been an invisible dancer a shadow dancing hidden in the ballet of the universe all the other dancers have always danced around this hidden dancer we have observed the choreography of the dance but until now we could not see that dancer the so-called God Particle the properties of the base material of universe the heart of all matter which would account for the Unexplained mass and energy that drives the universe's expansion but far from explaining the nature of the universe the discovery of the higs Bon simply presents an even greater mystery revealing a universe that is more mysterious than we ever imagined science is approaching the threshold between Consciousness and matter the eye with which we look at the primordial field and the eye with which the field looks at us are one and the [Music] same the German writer in luminary Wolf Gang Von Gerta said the wave is the primordial phenomenon which gave rise to the world simatics is the study of visible sound the word simatics comes from the Greek root Sima which means means wave or vibration one of the first Western scientists to seriously study wave phenomena was Ernst cadney a German musician and physicist who lived in the 18th century cadney discovered that when he spread sand on metal plates and then vibrated the plates with a violin bow the sand arranged itself into patterns different geometrical forms appear depending on the vibration [Music] produced cadney recorded an entire catalog of these shapes and they are referred to as cadney figures many of these patterns can be found throughout the natural world such as the markings of the tortoise or the spot patterns of a [Music] leopard studying clad patterns or simatic patterns is one secret way in which high-end guitar violin and other instrument makers determine the sound qualities of the instruments they [Music] make Hans Jenny expanded on cl's work in the 1960s using various fluids and electronic amplification to generate sound frequencies and coin the term simatics if you run simple sine waves through a dish of water you can see patterns in the water depending on the frequency of the wave different Ripple patterns will appear the higher the frequency the more complex the pattern these forms are repeatable not random The More You observe the more you start to see how vibration arranges matter into complex forms from simple repeating waves this water vibration has a pattern similar to a [Music] sunflower simply by changing the sound frequency we get a different [Music] pattern water is a very mysterious substance it is highly impressionable that is it can receive and hold on to vibration because of its high resonance capacity and sensitivity and an inner Readiness to resonate the water responds instantaneously to all types of sonic waves vibrating water and Earth make up the majority of mass in plants and animals it is easy to observe how simple vibrations in water can create recognizable natural patterns but as we add solids and increase the amplitude things get even more interesting adding cornstarch to water we get more complex [Music] [Applause] [Music] phenomena perhaps the principles of life itself can be observed as vibrations move the cornstarch blob into what appears to be a moving [Music] organism the animating principle of the universe is described in every major religion using words that reflect the understanding of that time in [Music] history in the language of the Incas the largest Empire in pre-colombian America the word for human body is Alpa kamasa which means literally animated Earth in cabala or Jewish mysticism they talk about the Divine name of God the name that cannot be spoken it cannot be spoken because it is a vibration that is everywhere it is all words all matter everything is the sacred word the tetrahedron is the simplest shape that can exist in three dimensions something must have at least four points to have physical reality the triangle structure is Nature's only self-stabilizing pattern in the Old Testament the word tetragramaton was often used to represent a certain manifestation of God it was used when talking about the word of God or the special name of God logos or primordial word [Music] word the ancient civilizations knew that at the root structure of the universe was the tetrahedral shape out of this shape nature exhibits a fundamental drive toward equilibrium Shiva while it also has a fundamental drive towards change Shakti in the Bible the the Gospel of John usually reads in the beginning was the word but in the original text the term used was logos the Greek philosopher heraclitus who lived around 500 years before Christ referred to the logos as something fundamentally unknowable the origin of all repetition pattern and form the stoic philosophers who followed the teachings of heraclitus identified the term with the Divine animating principle pervading the universe in Sufism the logos is everywhere and in all things it is that out of which the unmanifest becomes [Music] manifest in the Hindu tradition Shiva naraja literally means l of the dance the whole Cosmos dances to shiva's drum all is imbued or insold with the pulsation only as long as Shiva is dancing can the world continue to evolve and change otherwise it collapses back into [Music] nothingness while Shiva is representative of our witnessing Consciousness Shakti is the substance or stuff of the world while Shiva Li in meditation Shakti tries to move him to bring him into the dance like yin and yang the dancer and the dance exist as one logos also means unconcealed truth he who knows the logos knows the truth many layers of concealment exist in the human world as AOS has been swirled into complex structure rures concealing The Source from itself like a Divine game of hide and seek we have been hiding for thousands of years eventually forgetting about the game completely we somehow forgot that there was anything to find in Buddhism one is taught to directly perceive the logos the field of change or impermanence within oneself through meditation When You observe your inner World You observe subtler and subtler Sensations and energies as the Mind becomes more concentrated and focused through the direct realization of anicha or impermanence at the root level of sensation one becomes free of attachment to transient external forms once we realize there is one vibratory field that is the common root of all religions how can we say my religion or this is my primordial own my Quantum [Music] [Music] field the true crisis in our world is not social political or economic our crisis is a crisis of Consciousness an inability to directly experience our true nature an inability to recognize this nature in everyone and in all [Applause] [Music] things in the Buddhist tradition the Bodhi satva is a person with an awaken Buddha nature abodh SATA vows to help to awaken every being in the universe realizing that there is only one Consciousness to awaken one's true self one must awaken all beings there are innumerable sentient beings in the universe I vow to help them all to awaken my imperfections are inexhaustible I vow to overcome them all the Dharma is unknowable I vow to know it the way of Awakening is unattainable I vow to attain [Music] it
