Where have we got so far? Let’s start from the very beginning, a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A, B, C, when you create a universe, you being with primordial matter! We then have an Absolute, not The Absolute, just an Absolute. This Absolute is known as the ‘Word’ by some. It hovers over the ‘Deep’, sometimes called the ‘Waters’. Something compels this Absolute to create a space within the infinitely dense matrix of the Anti-Verse. Why do this? God alone knows. What does happen, however, is that a bubble forms in the matrix and this bubble somehow becomes a Universe. This universe is populated with primordial matter, which in the process of migrating into this universe, leaves the infinitely dense matrix of the Anti-Verse, turns itself inside out and becomes a Primary Atom. Now the weird thing about these primary atoms, is that in the Anti-Verse they are just empty space, yet in the Universe, they are units of matter. The smallest unit of matter possible and Pythagoras called this unit of matter the Monad.
What is the Universe anyway? It is just the subjective reality of the Absolute. It is not real, it is just a thought. Get your head around that for a minute. We are a figment of someone else’s imagination. Everything out there is an illusion or is it? This depends on where you think reality exists. If the Universe has a finite life, the thought span of the Absolute, then what existed before this thought must be real. The thought clearly is not. This may seem all very worrying for us but I draw your attention to something I have mentioned previously. The monad may exist in the Universe, but it is connected by an umbilical cord back into the Anti-Verse. This is where it gets its energy from. In the Anti-Verse, this unit of primordial matter had no consciousness at all. It did, however, have infinite potential. By the kind services of the Absolute, the Primordial atom becomes a ‘virtual’ primary atom. Why go through all this palaver? Because by doing so, the primordial atom is gifted the opportunity to become self-conscious. It achieves this by dwelling within the virtual reality of another monad’s thought processes. In this transition, it has never really left the Anti-Verse, yet where it is, seems very real.
What do we know about this monad? We know that in the Universe, it appears to be a unit of matter, that spins on its axis, due to an infinite supply of energy and this creates a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field is there but what is it capable of? At the moment, nothing. The properties it does have is an amazing amount of energy. It must be vibrating at an unimaginable frequency, so there is a lot of potential there. Is this monad left to its own devices? No. For a start, it is only there because it has been dreamed up by something else. It’s coming into being has been described in ancient Hindu texts as the out-breath of Brahman. The actual process of manifestation is attributed to Brahma. The Greeks called this entity, the Third Logos. So there is a controlling agent governing the activities of our monad. In fact, there are a whole host of entities involved. The point I wish to secure in your minds, for the time being, is that this is not a random process.
How does, all of what I have said so far, relate to the title of the presentation, which is the Planes of Matter? Well, as soon as the monad makes its grand entrance into the Universe, it appears on the 1st Plane. This is a plane of matter because the monad is matter and every space on this plane is occupied by a monad. The monad, however, at present is unconscious. How does it develop this consciousness? If the 1st Plane is the most energetic place in the entire Universe, suddenly developing consciousness here is going to fry your ‘metaphorical’ brain. What is needed, is to step down that energy, so that a vibrational state is reached that is conducive to the eventual awakening of a conscious field around a monad. This starts by creating another plane of matter that is less energetic than the 1st Plane. How is this done? Well, according to Hylozoics, 49 primary atoms hold hands and form a ring that creates a new atom, called a 2-atom. Why should this create a new plane of matter? Because when these 49, 1-atoms, form a ring, they effectively create an envelope around themselves and this dims the energy they can express, singularly or collectively. They have drawn a veil around themselves, shielding some of their immense energy.
If these 49 monads are holding hands and they have become denser, they are no longer able to dwell on the 1st Plane. They have to dwell somewhere and so the 2nd Plane is born. This is a new reality and very different to the reality above. As yet there is no reality below it. The new plane of matter is occupied by our circle of monads. On this plane, also exist sublimely powerful beings that have reached this stage in their own personal evolution and are responsible for governing this plane. They help to create the next plane below them. Why bother? Because the overall objective of the Absolute is to give every primordial atom transferred into the Universe, the opportunity to activate and then expand its consciousness.
Taking the building blocks of the 2nd Plane, which is a ring of 49 monads, another ring of 49, 2-atoms, are gathered together and now you have a new cluster. This cluster comprises 2,401 monads. The energy of this new cluster is denser than the environment of the 2nd Plane and so the 3rd Plane is born. At the birth of each new plane, a new atom defines this plane. It is composed of multiple rings of other monads. We call this an atom, but really you have a molecule. An atom, by its very definition, is supposed to be the smallest unit of an element. Yet as we know, atoms are comprised of protons, neutrons and electrons and we can even find smaller units of matter that make up an atom. So, let’s stick with the definition of an atom as being a cluster of monads that always have to be a conglomeration of 49 other monads, that may themselves be arranged further into clusters of 49 atoms.
This process repeats itself until we end up with 49 planes of matter in our universe. By the time you get to the 49th plane of matter, you have an atom that contains an unbelievable number of monads, 1.35 x 1081 to be precise! One of those monads happens to be you but I will get to that startling fact another time. What I wish to draw your attention to is that 49 seems to be a fundamental grouping of monads. It is also a multiple of seven, which itself is another cardinal number in the organisation of our universe. The 49 planes mentioned are themselves grouped into what is called Cosmic Kingdoms and it is no surprise that each kingdom contains 7 planes of matter. The higher six cosmic kingdoms are of no great concern to us. They are well past our pay grade. What does matter is what goes on in the lowest, the 7th Cosmic Kingdom, our home. This is where all our action takes place but to get here, the little monad has to embark on an amazingly lengthy journey. I think that should be the topic of my next presentation.
