I subscribe as well to your theory that we live in an electrical universe. When I was learning physics, they taught four forces in nature. Electromagnetism (already having been combined by Maxwell), the weak and strong forces in the atom and gravity. Since then they have already rectified that the weak and strong forces are actually electrical interactions at the Boson and Meson levels and now they are working hard to show gravity is also electromagnetic at a level we have been able to detect yet. This certain aligns with higher level matter/energy, particularly since it works at the distances between solar systems and galaxies.

Some esoteric writers teach that only the Adept can see the monad, while the Arhat merely acknowledges that it exists. It is a neat distinction, but Hylozoics does not support it. Neither of them sees the monad.

The monad is a primordial atom. Everywhere below the highest cosmic world it is one link in a chain of atoms, never the centre of that chain. Something that is always part of a structure cannot stand outside the structure and see itself. That is why Laurency says the monad remains inaccessible until it reaches world 1. Until then, whatever envelope the monad is centred in is what it takes to be the self.

So what do the Arhat and the Adept actually gain? At the fourth initiation the causal envelope dissolves, and the monad becomes an essential self, conscious in the world of unity. At the fifth it becomes a superessential self. These are enormous expansions of consciousness, but they are still expansions within the solar system. Both the Arhat and the Adept know the monad exists. Neither can see it. Knowing and seeing are not separated by the fourth and fifth initiations. They are separated by the whole distance from the solar system to world 1.

What about the glimpses in meditation that fade the moment we try to hold them? They are not glimpses of the monad. They are brief contacts with a level of consciousness we are not yet centred in. A hint of higher consciousness is not the same as being centred there. The glimpse fades because the mind reaches out to grasp it, and the grasping pulls attention back down into the mental envelope. Development proceeds through identification and liberation: we learn to stay at a level only when we are no longer governed by the one below it.

Have you noticed this in your own practice? When a moment of clarity comes, what happens when you try to hold on to it, and what happens when you simply let it be?

There is a connection, though I would place it one step closer to home than the Ante-verse itself.

Physics studies one world out of forty-nine. In Hylozoics, every world is made of matter, and all forty-nine occupy the same space. Each finer world penetrates every coarser one. The physical world is only the densest of them, and even within it, the four etheric grades lie beyond the reach of our senses. So when physicists find that galaxies behave as if far more is there than they can see, I am not surprised. Far more is there. The matter of forty-eight finer worlds fills the same space as the visible galaxy, and none of it registers on a detector built from physical matter, for physical matter.

The same applies to energy. Hylozoics does not accept that matter turns into energy. Matter dissolves into higher kinds of matter, vibrating at higher rates, and what science measures as energy is the release from that transformation. There is also a current running through the whole universe that science has no name for. A stream of primordial atoms flows from the highest world down through all the others and keeps every atom in motion. Laurency calls it cosmic motion. The force driving it is dynamis, the primordial energy that acts in every primordial atom. Blavatsky called this living energy Fohat, and described it as electricity on the physical plane and magnetism on the emotional plane. Blavatsky called it Fohat, and described it as electricity on the physical plane and magnetism on the emotional. Even atoms and molecules are held together electromagnetically.

That is why the electric model of the universe appeals to me. Mainstream cosmology is built on gravity. When galaxies would not hold together under gravity alone, physicists added dark matter. When the expansion of the universe turned out to be speeding up, they added dark energy. It is fair to say both were introduced to make the equations balance. Astronomers do point to real observations behind them, such as the way galaxies rotate and the way light bends around clusters. But after decades of searching, no one has detected a single particle of dark matter, and dark energy remains a name for something no one can describe. The Electric Universe researchers start from a different hypothesis: that electricity and magnetism, which are vastly stronger than gravity, do much of the work of holding the cosmos together. It is a minority view, and it has its critics. But it starts where esoteric teaching starts, with a universe alive with energy instead of a collection of dead masses pulling on one another.

Where does the Ante-verse come in? Our universe is a bubble opened inside it. The Ante-verse is primordial matter, absolutely dense and absolutely elastic, and it accommodates the expansion of the bubble without resisting it. If physicists are measuring an expansion they cannot explain from inside the bubble, they may be measuring the bubble itself, opening into a ground their instruments can never reach. I offer that as a possibility, not as settled teaching.

I would like to point out one thing about the monad. It never leaves the Ante-verse, so it does not need to return there. It remains a primordial atom throughout, whatever structures it is bound into. What it gains at world 1 is full consciousness of what it has always been.

On your main point, you are right. Physics will not find the answer with its present tools, because instruments built from physical matter can only register physical matter. The answer comes as consciousness develops. Each world becomes knowable as we acquire consciousness in it, and the whole picture belongs to the monad that has become conscious in world 1. Until then, science will keep finding the fingerprints of worlds it cannot see.

Thank you Rony

Hi Rony

Gosh, it is such a long time ago when I did that episode. If there is more in the video than there is in the script, that must be because I adlibbed when I recorded it. That what is the most likely cause. I did my last recording for the series you are watching now in 2024. That series finished last monday. It continues on with a new format and I am currently working on putting up those episodes. There should be about another 90 to add to the current 560+ that are already out in the wild.

Thank you, Rich

My current series ends this month, but continues into a new series, where the theme is a review of the diagrams I have been presenting to highlight the topics of my various presentations. I will then explain exactly what each diagram is all about. The diagrams themselves will be self-explanitory and will be posted into a Knowledge Atlas on the Websit, AdventuresoftheMonad.com

On a different theme, I will be starting a new channel, which I will trailer on my exisiting channel, just before the new one goes live. That will all happen in October. So you have a basket of riches to look forward to!
