Steiner traces these relations into practically every domain of life, including physics, biology, medicine, agriculture, art, education, and many more.
I have found myself doing the same, making the claim that the UE is a distillation of many great teachings about relationship. I see in how you presented some of them as a Source like perspective such that feeling and inspiration can be seen as the Source of their respective polarities. This is the Voretx that the Trinity can be seen as or represent, the implosion/explosion, pull/push of understanding. I am focused on the Implosive/Pull perspective of the Trinity where the middle third is seen as Synthesis as opposed to Source such that Body/Matter/Action is the result of the harmonization of the Mind and Spirit polarities.
Philosophy of Spiritual Activity would appear to be one I should dig in to. You will note that I have been distilling the Mind/Matter/Spirit Trinity to one of Intention/Willpower/Faith as an explanation as to how Jesus performed miracles. I am trying to show that how we harmonize the polarities of Intention/Faith represented by Mind/Spirit and Intention/Willpower which is the harmonization of Mind/Matter represented by the half infinity symbols that is littered throughout the UE, we can assume control over the third harmonization of Matter/Spirit, which is our four dimensional, fourth density conscious experience.
It is of little value without actually putting the practices to work. We can view the left side of the UE as the Mind/Spirit harmonization need to be made, the right side of the UE as the existing Matter/Spirit 4d experience and the polar line as the Mind/Matter harmonization. I am saying that the left side of the UE can not be fully realized, as simple as it is, without putting the work in, which is represented by the vertical line of Acceptance/Willpower/Acceptance. There is no utility to the UE if one does not do the required work to lift oneself up. This work is explained in a "how I did it" way such that these practices can be adopted and personalized, even providing for a non-dogmatic non-denominational way of connecting to Source/Spirit/God provided to us by Nikola Tesla and proven through my own experience. One will not know this to be true till they implement the methods themselves, in their own ways.
What are the various contextual factors of destiny that led you to conceive the UE and share it here exactly at this time in World Evolution?
This is an excellent question, it would have begun as a very troubled young boy who found himself in a divorced family that utilized manipulation of the boy as a way to hurt one party or the other. My mother was the master manipulator, especially for such a young boy, who was also experiencing some sort of contact with the demon/alien/angel phenomena. She abused me physically and emotionally as my father would to this day not allow me to express who I am, instead choosing to try and instill who he is into who I am, expecting me to be him and do things the way he does them. My life, to this very day as a 53yr old adult is one of "No, that is not the way" and "you can not do that", etc.
...
This is probably too much context, here it is none the less. All of this of course being my objective truth as to what I experienced, I am of the perspective that I was up-lifted twice, the first being the Revelation -> Enlightenment -> Ascension experience in the car and then the Christ Consciousness bump when the UE was recorded on Reddit. I do not know what else to make of it and am following an unwritten unspoken mission to share what I have come to understand about relationship concerning the fundamental aspects of our reality of Mind/Matter/Spirit, which can also be viewed as Polarity/Synthesis/Polarity and appears to be found in just about every great teaching I investigate, from Christianity to Buddhism, to the Tao to the teachings of Alchemy.
Soloma,
Thanks for sharing all these details. Your path here has been very interesting, for sure.
It seems we are all speaking of a path to harmonizing the aspects of the Trinity, and that this cannot be done at a mere intellectual level but must also involve our deeper layers of devotional feeling and willpower. The question still remains - what is the most safe and effective path for this harmonization? It is convenient to say there are many different paths and anyone can choose what they are drawn to, because in the end we are all being drawn to the same destination of Unity with the Trinity, but is this necessarily the case?
If we look at the Gospels, without any rigid theological assumptions or dogmas, we still find there are clear warnings about false paths that, while they may promise us communion with the Trinitarian Godhead, can just as easily lead us astray.
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
The Gospels also relate how to identify the paths - "
you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free", "
by their fruits shall you know them", etc. or "
strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to Life...". In a certain sense, the 'strait and narrow' path starts from where we are
already free - in our actively willed thinking (knowing activity) - and progressively radiates that freedom into all other domains of experience. Such verses become almost literal descriptions for the tip of our intuitive activity (thinking) where we are beset on both sides by dangers of excessive bodily-sensory attachment or excessive mystical detachment, and the creative technique becomes to hold those in harmonious balance through our meditative practice. That isn't a one-time event but a continual dialogue we engage in through our cognitive faculty. At all times our essential "I", which mediates between spirit and matter, should be present and actively participating in the flow of experience.
This is why the phenomenology of spiritual activity is so important. You may want to also check out
this essay by Cleric. We take our humble beginning in the intimate experience of our spiritual activity as it engages with the perceptual landscape, meeting the latter's constraints and exploring its possibilities for expanding our degrees of freedom. In a sense, we are simply awakening to what we have always been
doing with our spiritual activity ("you shall know the Truth..."). Phenomenology is the foundation of all natural (and soul-spiritual) science. The latter has always been about investigating how the 'now' state - including desires, feelings, imaginations, memories, sensations, etc. - transforms into new states, i.e. the constraints and possibilities for that transformation. And it still is, but we have simply
forgotten what we are always doing when we think scientifically because we severed the link between the 'doer' (spiritual activity) and the transformation of the perceptual flow.
In the process of abstracting to this 3rd-person view and producing metaphysical speculations about the 'essence of reality' independent of our activity (including various forms of idealism and spiritualism), we have forgotten that, through that activity,
we are the ones formulating and asking the questions of nature, setting up the experiments in specific ways, making the observations, analyzing the results, etc. If we simply remember that fact and keep it in view, then we see that all science is the study of how our activity meets the constraints of the perceptual landscape (including psychology, which studies the constraints of the soul landscape) and the fashioning of overarching
ideas (principles, laws, etc.) that help us make more and more sense of the relationships, so we can discern the latent possibilities and find ever-expansive degrees of freedom for our spiritual activity.
What is the modern technology generated from scientific research except a way of expanding the palette of states into which my 'now' state can transform? Now my state can transform into a state where I am engaged in a video chat with someone across the world, whereas some relatively few years ago that was beyond the palette of transformation. Due to modern medicine, my state can transform through a palette of experiences that last until age 90, whereas that was very unlikely in the 19th century. This is what science/technology is all about - the phenomenology of spiritual activity, i.e. the constraints and possibilities the latter meets when engaging the perceptual landscape. The 'laws' we fashion are nothing other than our intuition for these constraints and how a set of states in transformation can be encompassed as something
whole.
It's only because our spiritual activity is normally too weak to alter the 'riverbed' constraints through which it flows (except in pure thinking) that we feel to be a detached spectator of 'external laws' that we model with our thoughts. When we begin to recover the intuition, which was present at the inception of scientific thinking, that perceptions are
symbols for the constraints-possibilities of our thinking, feeling, and willing activity, then our activity grows stronger as it works through the perceptual resistance and
experiences itself contributing to the alterations of the constraints. The spirit is no longer passively governed by external laws but is awakened to how it actively shapes the laws that reflect the intuition of the palette of 'next states' to which it can transform.
But all of this starts from the humble seed point in thinking, where we have the most creative freedom to expand the palette of our possible states. If we find ourselves imagining how we can transform our state through the roof of a car before we have found the simple degrees of thinking freedom to explore what a 'car' even is and how it came to exist in our experience, then we are surely being led astray. We should thoroughly understand the nature of our current state and its most proximate limitations (related to our psychic space) before we try to shape the nature of the deeper biological and physical spaces that modulate the transformation of our states. You have already experienced some of this freedom in thinking when exploring the UE, but it is hardly suspected how many different directions our spiritual thinking activity can move in when exploring the meaningful landscape. We can probe the curvatures of individual and collective destiny in very precise and intimate ways.
Let's use the analogy of interfacing with our computer. When we want to write a post on this forum, for ex., and express all of our rich spiritual experiences, there is a lot lost in the translation. In a certain sense, we can only express that which conforms to the rigid input slots of the mouse and keyboard, where our fingers come into contact with them. That is a metaphor for the extent to which our intellect can express the movements of our higher Spirit that structures the layers of destiny. When we do this, we can recount in memory our individual experiences that seemed to influence our current state - why we think and feel the way we do, how we got to our current worldview, what our 'mission' is in life, and so forth. This is the whole context you recounted above.
Yet we also know that our fingers are modulated by our hands, forearms, and upper arms. Usually, these levels of spiritual activity are completely subconscious and we simply experience them as the psychic and bodily 'support' for our intellectual activity - that would correspond to the software and hardware of the computer by which we type our posts here. We don't feel our spirit to be active in these layers because there is nothing for it to come into contact with - they simply wave around in the air and steer the fingers but meet no resistance on the keyboard and mouse. Normally when we speak of 'understanding' the factors of our destiny, we are speaking of using the
same mouse, keyboard, etc. inputs to explore the perceptual flow of our subconscious soul-life, i.e. our memory experiences and their relationship with our preferences, habits, feelings, ideas, etc. This is what normally passes for 'shadow work', 'self-knowledge', and so forth these days.
However, in the higher movements of the hands (imagination), forearms (inspiration), and upper arms (intuition), our spirit weaves in the
very same forces that structure the streamlines of destiny which guide our states through the subconscious soul and body life. Now we are no longer using our intellect to probe the soul life through the former's rigid inputs, but growing with our consciousness into the higher-order inputting activity of which the normally experienced soul and body life, through which our destiny is manifested, are shadows. In other words, we come to know these curvatures of destiny in a much more intimate way, from the
first-person perspective of the Spirits who structure those curvatures with their intents. What we explore with our intellect can only be considered ripples on the lake surface from the swirling currents of Wind that blow above. Through the strait and narrow phenomenological path - the Middle Way - we can grow into these swirling currents with our lucid cognitive activity.
