1.18 - The Origin of Things

"The Taoist origin of the universe and life is expounded by Chu-hsi of the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 C.E.), who combined the Confucianist and taoist theories of the origin of things. He revised Chou Tuan-i's treatise T'ai-chi T'ao Shuo and wrote, "From wu-chi comes t'ai-chi. When t'ai-chi moves, it creates yang. When movement reaches its extreme, stillness emerges. In stillness, yin is born. Thus, movement and stillness follow each other. Yin and yang, stillness and movement form the force of creation. From yang and yin are created the elements water, fire, wood, metal and earth. The Five Vapors mutually enrich each other and generate the four seasons. The five elements originate from yin and yang. Yin and yang originate from t'ai-chi and t'ai-chi originates from wu-chi. From the properties of the five elements and the essence of wu-chi emerges generative energy. From the Way of Heaven (ch'ien), male is born. Following the Way of Earth (K'un), female is born. The union of ch'ien and k'un gives rise to the ten thousand myriad things. The ten thousand myriad things procreate and contribute to many forms of existence whose origin is wu-chi." This is the description of the origin of things." From "Cultivating Stillness - The Taoist Manual for Transforming Body and Mind", by Eva Wong, 1992; Shambhala Publications, ISBN 0-87773-687-I

The above quote is extremely interesting. It is for all practical purposes the same theory being expressed in our SVP Cosmology web pages represented in the

The language/jargon is different. Here are some translations of terms:

wu-chi = Void, Neutral, Origin, Tao, Source t'ai-chi = Word, Cosmic/Christ Consciousness Tao = Oneness, Divinity Way of Heaven = Celestial Way of Earth = Terrestrial chi'en = male k'un = female Five Vapors = Five Ethers yang = expressive motion, movement, (day), syntropic or electric concentration yin = peace, quiet, nonmotion, (night), entropic or magnetic dispersion water, fire, wood, metal and earth = material universe (five forms of manifestation) Four Seasons = Angular Inclinations of Refraction (Spectral Differentiation), Rainbow, Octaves of Density

Let's substitute words and see what we have:

"From (The Void, Whole Mind) comes (The Word, Divided Mind). When (The Word) moves, it creates (expressive motion). When movement reaches its extreme (4++), stillness emerges. In stillness, (peace, quiet) is born. Thus, movement (day) and stillness (night) follow each other. (Nonmotion) and (motion), stillness (night) and movement (day) form the force of creation. From (motion) and (nonmotion) are created the elements (of the material universe). The Five (Ethers) mutually enrich each other and generate the (Octaves of Density). The (material universe) originate from (nonmotion) and (motion). (Nonmotion) and (motion) originate from (The Word) and (The Word) originates from (The Void). From the properties of the (material universe) and the (potential) essence of (The Void) emerges generative energy (syntropy). From the (Celestial), male is born (Father). Following the (Terrestrial), female is born. The union of (male) and (female) gives rise to the ten thousand myriad things. The ten thousand myriad things procreate and contribute to many forms of existence whose origin is (The Void)." This is the description of the origin of things."

The text goes on to describe the (alchemical) process of reconnecting the material to the spiritual, which process happens to be a definition of the term "religion"; to re-connect or re-member or re-awaken. If Undifferentiated Mind differentiates (splits, refracts) into egoic mind then "awakening" is the differentiated, split or refracted egoic mind becoming whole (undifferentiated) again. Differentiated Mind is anti-sympathetic (passive resistant) to the One Whole Mind while the One Whole Mind is, among its seeming individuated parts, wholly sympathetic or "as one" or "one with"; i.e., Love, everything else.

Sounds like Genesis, no? Also sounds like Russell and many others. The Story of the Origin of the Universe may not have originated with Genesis nor the development of principles as outlined in SVP by Keely nor the philosophical underpinings of Russell. Universal Knowledge has always been and always will be. The writers of Genesis (whoever they were), Keely and Russell, separated by thousands of years, tapped into The One Whole Mind (God) just as you or I may and are doing via our connections through Cosmic Consciousness. No one can claim exclusive rights of discovery or divine priviledge subsequent thereto because it is what we ALL ARE - Love, Mind, Consciousness.

The above also describes some of the energy sets and dynamics of the Musical Dynasphere.

These pages attempt to relay the above conception, as also its near twin found in Genesis, in scientific terms; i.e., the process of creation and evolution of matter from so-called Spirit. Evolution is a ceaseless creative and progressive process. These natural and foundational laws, principles and concepts, without religious interpretations, are the foundation of Keely and Russell's work - object of SVP.
