  1. ENERGY MATTER SPACE The ability to cause change or do

    work. It travels in a wavy mechanism and at a high frequency span. It is a standing wave of energy that occupies space and also known as the crystallisation of low frequency waves of energy. An expression for the existence of energy i.e. no energy in play, no space arising. 3
  2. Mother Nature DEPENDENT NATURE INHERENT NATURE It bears with the

    characteristics of beginning-less and end-less because anything that inherently exists would not involve change. Nothing stays unchanging for a slightest moment under the influence of conditional phenomena all the time. Mother Nature is a system that is universal i.e. it is inherent existing and dependent arising concurrently. It is infinite in its original disposition and is governed by the universal laws. 5
  3. Energy is a quality that is universal i.e. it is

    inherent existing and dependent arising concurrently. The alternate expression for energy is emptiness. DEPENDENT NATURE INHERENT NATURE Energy can neither be created nor destroyed and the sum of all energies in a system is a constant or never changes. Energy arises in a constant state of flux. Energy 6
  4. • When one sees into energy, one sees into emptiness;

    when one sees into emptiness, one sees into energy. • This is the rationale for the saying, ‘Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form.’ The principle in effect: seeing into form is seeing into matter, seeing into matter is seeing into energy and seeing into energy is seeing into emptiness. And emptiness is a necessary prerequisite for any objects to exist; without it, the object would be impossible. • Energy is described as the ability to cause change or do work, while emptiness is understood as absence in the static entity and devoid of inherent existence for all created objects or things. 7
  5. Energy would constantly fluctuate and orientate in translational, rotational and

    vibrational motions. TRANSLATION VIBRATION ROTATION 8
  6. • The circumstances of duality or multiplicity in the dependent

    nature are merely the side effects of the vibrational characteristics of energy. • Energy is nothing but mere vibration. When there are opposing forces, there would be vibration. The alternate movement of the opposing forces would generate a continuum of wavy pattern oscillating up and down. • This is the main reason for all the repeating cycle of rising and falling activities that one could witness in the dependent nature. 9
  7. Dependent nature is a ‘continuous flow’- referring to a repeating

    cycle of birth, life, death and re-birth. There is a repeating cycle of rising and falling activities that in turn would give rise to the regular balanced and imbalanced phenomena as being observed by the mind. This scenario can be portrayed in the cycle of dependent origination shown as below: - Balance leads to stability. Stability leads to aggregation. Aggregation leads to agitation. Agitation leads to information. Information leads to knowledge. Knowledge leads to representation. Representation leads to memory. Memory leads to compulsion. Compulsion leads to ignorance. Ignorance leads to blindness. Blindness leads to disorientation. Disorientation leads to confusion. Confusion leads to irrationality. Irrationality leads to impulse. Impulse leads to sparkling. Sparkling leads to inkling. Inkling leads to volition. Volition leads to awareness. Awareness leads to consciousness. Consciousness leads to manas. Manas leads to mind and body. Mind and body lead to sensation. Sensation leads to six sense bases. Six sense bases lead to conductivity. Conductivity leads to contact. Contact leads to stimulation. Stimulation leads to feeling. Feeling leads to experience. Experience leads to craving. Craving leads to grasping. Grasping leads to clinging. Clinging leads to unsettling. Unsettling leads to becoming. Becoming leads to creation. Creation leads to birth. Birth leads to energising. Energising leads to mobility. Mobility leads to hauling. Hauling leads to aging. Aging leads to draining. Draining leads to death. Death leads to fragility. Fragility leads to segregation. Segregation leads to diffusion. Diffusion leads to imbalance. Imbalance leads to adjustment. Adjustment leads to alignment. Alignment leads to new balance. 10

  9. • When the two opposing translational forces clash against one

    another, vibrational forces arise concurrently. The arised vibrational forces would appear in a regular pattern of waves i.e. standing and traveling and this in turn would give rise to deflective forces. • The traveling waves would involve with higher vibrational frequencies and the standing waves would involve with lower vibrational frequencies. • Subsequently, the conditions of duality and multiplicity would arise out of the combination of deflective, translational, vibrational and rotational forces as the becoming processes moved into an advanced level of complexity. 12
  10. • Time is something that is created, not born (a

    non-natural existence). Time is an indicator for event and it belongs to a category named as dimension (it is created for the task of measurement per se). • Also, time is a scalar factor. A scalar refers to a quantity or phenomenon that exhibits magnitude only, with no specific direction. Example of scalars include speed, mass, electrical resistance, and hard-drive storage capacity. Any interval of time is also scalar - it has magnitude only. • When an object is set under an accelerating motion, the becoming process of the object would be stretched as compared with a relative object that is set under a constant or a decelerating motion. In other words, the becoming process of the object has been slowed down comparatively and not the time that has been dilated or slowed down. 13
  11. • Time would only assume the expression that the becoming

    process has slowed down and not the other way round. • Literally, the slowing down of the becoming process would mean the slowing down of the aging process for a sentient being. • This is the correct understanding behind the thought experiment of twin paradox which concerns a twin who flies off in a spaceship traveling near the speed of light and returns to discover that his or her twin sibling has aged much more. 14
  12. • Similarly, the word of time has been used frequently

    for expressing different scenarios of becoming process, such as follows: - NO TIME = an expression of no opportunity for a new becoming process to begin. TIME TO TIME = an expression of moving from the past to the present becoming process; the present to the future becoming process. TIME PASSED SLOWLY = an expression of hoping for a faster becoming process. TIME DILATION = an expression that the becoming process slows down. 15
  13. • Everything does exist at the same time under present-dynamism

    only. The projectile movement of time as often experienced by our mind consciousness is purely due to relativity as well as the varying vibrational frequencies in play. • As a result, we tend to perceive things a little bit linearly, thus creating the delusion of past, present and future movement of time. The conventional time that we involve ourselves with every day is a subjective and a relative time. • This means the time orientation is dependent on the observer (i.e. the subject’s mind) to provide the valuation on the other side of the object or matter. As a consequence, the time conclusion varies among different observers or minds. 16
  14. • In fact, Albert Einstein has given out an interpretation

    of spacetime that is actually the endless evolving frequency cum becoming process in Mother Nature. • We could liken the frequency to space and the becoming process to time because time is actually a dimension (indicator) for the becoming process and space is merely an expression for energy in play as per frequency (i.e. the number of occurrences or observations within a given time period or statistical category). Present-dynamism = frequency x becoming (space x time) 17
  15. • Once again, time would always arise at the present

    state of condition. There is no backward or forward movement of time but just a regenerating of occurrences all the time at a common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism. • This means in the twinkling of an eye, all events or phenomena as observed by our mind consciousness would fluctuate and renew simultaneously and continuously. • Just like the gravity effects on earth for all different masses are the same (acceleration value, g = 9.80 m/s2) even though the rock strikes the ground before the feather per se. However, the common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism is unconjecturable and it is mainly due to its nature of beginning-less and end-less. 18
  16. • The elements of awareness would begin to discern some

    simple varying frequencies that consecutively give rise to consciousness, that is basically arises out of awareness. This is the ‘soul’ thing that we talk about all the time. • Consciousness would then progress and expand into a manipulative typecast i.e. mind or also known as consciousness in individuality. In fact, soul is referring to a blueprint of endless evolving mind consciousnesses. Such a blueprint would serve as a steering wheel and is often mistakenly deemed as a permanent entity. • Soul is dependent arising and anything that is dependent arising would involve change and therefore, it cannot inherently exist in Mother Nature. 19
  17. AWARENESS CONSCIOUSNESS MIND A not-knowing state before the appearance of

    object i.e. a state of pure radiance. An appearance of objects in the mind i.e. a sort of synergy arises from the expansion of energies through cooperation. It has the ability to expand and pervade through any corresponding planes of existence simultaneously and indefinitely. A pattern of consciousness that is born from awareness i.e. consciousness in individuality. 20
  18. • Mind is the forerunner of all states. The presence

    of the waves of dependent phenomena has clouded the mind from discerning the reality of circumstances i.e. ignorance arises. • And with ignorance blindfolding the mind since the dawn of time, suffering arises and continues to arise in the dependent nature i.e. with the rise of perceptions, conceptions, labels, boundaries, names, activities, shapes, relations, descriptions, stereotyping, beginning, ending, etc. • Mind is something more objective and involves clear discrimination – differentiates and understands the characteristics of objects. One utilises mind to understand things because mind understands the manipulation of consciousness. 21
  19. • Manas that unfolds against the backdrop of consciousness (preliminary)

    is an architect or a designer that activates the mind and body creations. Mind and body are simply two aspects of the same thing. • Manas would vibrate in a certain unique frequency pattern – a wave of collated high and low vibrations. This blueprint of vibrations would subsequently bring forth a conflation of mind and body. • The principle in effect: the lower the frequency, the slower the vibration; the higher the frequency, the faster the vibration. Slower vibration would lead to the body and the sense bases formation and faster vibration would lead to the mind formation. • Collectively, it brings about a new life existence with a unique individuality that would not allow the disruption by any kind of external interference; thus it maintains a self-identity. 22
  20. • In other words, mind and body are present in

    every created thing as one integrated whole. Even an atom has a kind of mind that is unique or individualised. • The nucleus of the atom, around which electrons vibrate in standing waves, constitutes the atom’s individuality. As a result, one atom distinguishes from another atom – just as one person is different from another person or as one thing is different from another thing. • As a human, the traits of consciousness are not within the physical body per se. Instead, it is the physical body that is within the traits of consciousness with the mind functioning as the forerunner of all things. • The prevailing mind consciousness is closely related to the physical body, whereas, the subtle mind consciousness is somehow independent from the physical body. This is because when the physical body is being ‘switch-off’ temporarily the subtle mind consciousness would continue to work unpretentiously as in the experience of lucid dreaming. 23
  21. • All objects or matters as observed by the mind

    consciousness must transpire within the purview of the group traits of consciousness. This includes all the projections and reflections of reality or fallacy being identified and experienced by the respective mind consciousnesses. • In fact, the group traits of consciousness would perform like a powerful microscope and telescope whereby nothing can be discerned outside its horizon. • The human physical body is merely an interim containment of certain blueprint of vibrational frequencies. Basically, humans are the end result of a certain unique frequency pattern of consciousness – a wave of collated high and low vibrations that subsequently bring forth a conflation of mind and body. 24
  22. 25 • The general prescription is that any realms of

    higher vibrational frequency would be able to discern the realms of lower vibrational frequency. However, the realms of lower vibrational frequency would not be able to discern any realms of higher vibrational frequency. • In other words, the object or matter must keep on within the purview of the subject’s frequency horizon; without it, the observation would be impossible. • It is akin to any beings of higher vibrational frequencies having an aerial perspective on the affairs of beings with lower vibrational frequencies rather than the other way round. If the vibrational frequencies of the perceiver are lower than the perceived, the cascading events are deemed impossible. • Therefore, beings of grander vibrational frequency span are able to discern at-will basis on all other beings with common vibrational frequency span via a tweak of frequencies.
  23. 26

  24. 27 • All different planes of existence are the end

    result of polarity in the traits of consciousness with the mind functioning as a forerunner in determining the frequency of the traits. • In fact, it is the elements of memory within the mind that become the basis for the heritability of consciousness bearing traits; without it, whatever evolution of consciousness in spacetime or present-dynamism would be impossible. • There are variations and conditioned relationships in consciousness between beings; it is not identical but neither is it completely distinct. The new arising consciousness is neither identical to, nor entirely different from, the old consciousness, but forms part of a causal continuum or stream with it. • On another aspect, the varying vibrational frequencies in the respective planes of existence would conjure up unique forces of energy that are interweaving and interfering amongst other corresponding or resonating frequencies elsewhere.
  25. 28 • As such, it is not surprising for one

    to observe a growth or a demise of certain species in a population as there are always natural forces interacting and complementing to bring forth a harmonious dynamic system across all planes of existence in Mother Nature. • In addition, the fluctuating vibrational frequencies amongst different planes of existence would bring about variances in terms of the relative timeline. • Under the common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism, a higher vibrational frequency would yield a slower becoming process and vice versa. This is because, by nature, everything is interconnected and balanced with both the yin and the yang aspects. • Yin and yang are actually complementary but opposing forces interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part; thus bringing forth a dynamic system existing in harmony.
  26. 29 • For instance, in a relative term, the experience

    of one second in a celestial plane (higher vibrational frequencies) is equivalent to ten years for a human plane (lower vibrational frequencies). As such, from a human perspective, all the celestial beings are assumed to have been living in a continuum of eternity. Let us look into the following illustrations for more details: -
  27. • A wormhole is literally a cross path for different

    planes of existence. There is a possibility for beings to perform a time travel from one plane of existence to another via a wormhole. The described wormhole here is basically referring to a ‘tweak’ of frequencies by beings with higher vibrational frequencies to discern the beings in lower vibrational frequencies. 30
  28. 31

  29. • Basically, there are two sides of truth in existence

    concurrently i.e. the conventional truth and the ultimate truth. • When addressing a problem, in the first place, we need to ensure whether our point of view is from the conventional or the ultimate perspective. • For example, from the conventional perspective, we would agree that duality or multiplicity does exist. However, from the ultimate perspective, we would then agree that no duality or multiplicity arises. In other words, no phenomenon arises if we speak from the ultimate perspective. 32
  30. ULTIMATE NATURE CONVENTIONAL NATURE Dependent arising, present-dynamism, a constant state

    of flux, duality or multiplicity arises. Inherent existence, present-statism, a stable constant, the absence of duality or multiplicity. Truths 33
  31. • There is always a parallel reality at the other

    dimension of cosmos and all different dimensions or realities would vibrate in varying frequencies (in a faster or a slower speed than one another). • In the realms of parallel reality, there are two types of becoming processes i.e. consciousness-bound and bare-consciousness-bound. • Consciousness-bound becoming process is subject to the manipulation of minds and conditions under myriad of vibrational frequencies. These chaotic frequencies would permeate and transpire across numerous planes of existence i.e. to the next corresponding frequencies indefinitely. • On the other hand, bare-consciousness-bound becoming process is a simple becoming process under uniformed frequencies. These regulated frequencies would permeate and transpire across resonated frequencies on a more confined basis. 34
  32. • Future reality is nothing but a victorious expression of

    vibrational frequency competitions in Mother Nature. Frequency is described as the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time. This means the onus of sustaining the future reality lies on the party who asserts it i.e. the respective traits of consciousness. • Just like a competition of seed sowing and growing whereby any gardener that becomes the first person to turn the seed from dormancy into a living thing would win the race. • In other words, future reality is all about endless possibilities and it is dependent on the present state of condition all the time. One should pay attention to the present moment only because everything does exist at the same time under present-dynamism. • In a way, the navigation of the future into any intended directions should begin right here, right now. 35
  33. • One could conclude that both emptiness and energy are

    fundamental qualities because every single thing or happening would involve with the elements of emptiness and energy in the dependent nature. • For general understanding, conditional phenomenon is a necessary prerequisite for energy to exist; without it, the existence would be impossible. On another front, emptiness is a necessary prerequisite for any objects to exist; without it, the object would be impossible. • As such, one could wrap up that something as in object would arise out of the elements of energy that exist in a system. This is because energy and matter are simply two aspects of the same thing, both reflected in different forms per se (as in Einstein’s formula, E = mc2). • And since we are unable to discern the elements of energy with our naked eyes, we would name it as empty instead of nothing. 36
  34. • Then, what is the first cause for the start

    of the material Universe? Frankly speaking, the ultimate first cause for anything or everything is Mother Nature. Without Mother Nature, nothing would ever exist – no things or happenings would arise. • For a theist, this phenomenon is also known as One Supreme Being or God. In other words, all things or matters would rise and fall within the Mother Nature or so-called the One Supreme Being or God. This is the deepest fact about things and nothing can be recognised beyond its boundary. • Since the dawn of time, energy has been in existence within the system of dependent nature (inherent existence). Under a balanced phenomenon, the elements of energy would turn into the elements of matter through the process of aggregation. Likewise, under an imbalanced phenomenon, the elements of matter would turn into the elements of energy through the process of segregation (dependent arising). 37
  35. • In other words, the material Universe is merely a

    momentary appearance conjured up from a continuum of orientating energy and matter in space under the influence of conditional phenomena. Just like ice, water and steam are different appearances deriving from the orientation of H2 O properties under the influence of the external conditions. In other words, it is the orientation of H2 O properties that has taken place to conjure up the momentary outcome of it. • In order to seek for the ultimate truth, it is imperative for one to abandon the stereotyping mindset that is associated with the ‘-ism’ or ‘-ology’ for it is a system of pre-conditioning or pre-disposition (a.k.a. a ‘locked-in’ mentality). • Generally, liberation is the only right potion to the ultimate truth discovery and with the inculcation of right determination, the ultimate truth can be discovered by anyone right here, right now. This would mean observations on all the phenomena would need to be based on unbiased grounds i.e. on neutral and upright positions. 38

    we see is a perspective, not the truth.’ ~ Marcus Aurelius ~ 39
