So we now have some evidence of the working of Higher Mind within or beyond us, directing us in relation to its aim. Where is it? one obvious possible answer is that we now know that the human DNA in the nucleus of every cell is the most complex information storage and processing mechanism ever developed. The human DNA is now known to contain over 3,000,000,000 bits of information. No doubt the DNA can be considered as the Higher part of the First, Second and Third Brains. But what about the phantom Higher level functions resulting from the interaction of the Three Brain Being ? To understand further in my view we have to make a non-intellectual advance and go beyond the words.

An important aspect of this step is the realisation that space and time are properties of the manifest, the world of form. In the world of ideas there is the Aeon, beyond or independent of time. This is confirmed by the Mystical experiences which are received in a special state in which there is no time. It is as if there is a sequence from external reality which has clock time, based on the movements of the planets round the Sun, personal time which varies widely from clock time and which is related to one's inner psychological space, and the innermost state in which one is beyond time. Once one has experienced this, one knows. In this innermost state when one has gone out of time, then one returns to that from which one arose. Perhaps this is the significance of the diagram Gurdjieff used depicting the Ray of Creation in which the Absolute is shown both at the beginning and the end.

Peace.

Ayinde,

There is no page up at that URL.

Yes, the page is there....try again

...and so beyond the words lay a whole nother
dimension...and it is here..where a new language developes
at the still point in the dance))

Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear much reality,
Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
(…) At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards: at the still point, there the dance is,
but neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline.
Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and here is only the dance.
I can only say, there we have been: but I cannot say where.
And I cannot say, how long, for that would be to place it in time.
To be conscious is not to be in time.
