Ein Sof, “The Light Without End”.
“In love is found the secret of divine unity.
It is love that unites the higher and the lower stages of existence,
that raises the lower to the level of the higher, where all become fused into one.”

People
who have near-death experiences see their entire lives flash before
their eyes, as well as all the regrets and missed opportunities.
We never know how much time we have. Don’t wait for the final call to
wake you up. Wake up to the opportunities that the light sends you
every day. They are your chances to design the life you see right before
your eyes.

If
a rock, though extremely hard, can be hollowed out by water, how much
more so should it be possible for The Light, which is compared to water,
to change my heart. I will begin to study it, and try to become a
scholar of The Light.

Grand Man of Zohar - J. August Knapp (1928)
“Do
not attribute duality to G-d (or the Universe). Let G-d be solely
G-d. If you suppose that Ayn Sof (infinity) emanates until a certain
point, and that from that point on is outside of it, you have dualized.
Do not. Realize, rather, that (infinity) exists in each existent. Do
not say, ‘This is a stone and not G-d.' Rather, all existence is G-d,
and the stone is a thing pervaded by divinity.”

Eliphas Levi - The Magical Head of the Zohar, “Histoire de la Magie”, 1860.
The
Magical Head of Zohar is a cabalistic design illustrating the concept
of opposites, the principle of “As Above, So Below”, implying that the
transcendent God beyond the physical universe and the immanent God
within ourselves are one.

Timeline of the Far Future.
While
scientific predictions of the future can never be absolutely certain,
present understanding in various fields allows for the prediction of far
future events, if only in the broadest strokes. These fields include
astrophysics, which has revealed how planets and stars form, interact,
and die; particle physics, which has revealed how matter behaves at the
smallest scales; evolutionary biology, which predicts how life will
evolve over time; and plate tectonics, which shows how continents shift
over millennia.
All projections of the future of the Earth, the
Solar System, and the Universe must account for the second law of
thermodynamics, which states that entropy, or a loss of the energy
available to do work, must increase over time. Stars eventually must
exhaust their supply of hydrogen fuel and burn out. Close encounters
gravitationally fling planets from their star systems, and star systems
from galaxies.
Eventually, matter itself is expected to come
under the influence of radioactive decay, as even the most stable
materials break apart into subatomic particles. Current data suggest
that the universe has a flat geometry (or very close to flat), and thus,
will not collapse in on itself after a finite time, and the infinite
future potentially allows for the occurrence of a number of massively
improbable events, such as the formation of a Boltzmann brain. This
timeline coverS events from roughly eight thousand years from now to the
furthest reaches of future time. A number of alternate future events
are listed to account for questions still unresolved, such as whether
humans will become extinct, whether protons decay, or whether Earth will
survive the Sun’s expansion into a red giant.

The Taijitu Shuo - Diagram Of The Supreme Polarity representing the whole of Taoist Cosmology.
The
single circle at the top of the Taijitu Shuo represents Wuji -
undifferentiated Timelessness. What we see below that is actually an
early version of the Yin-Yang Symbol - and represents the first movement
into Duality - the play of Yin Qi and Yang Qi. From the blending of Yin
Qi and Yang Qi come the Five Elements: Earth, Metal, Water, Wood &
Fire. From the Five Elements are born the “myriad things” of the world.
Taoist
practitioners enter into a “Path of Return” - a movement from the
myriad things of the world back into Wuji. The Immortals, or those who
have entered the Tao, are those who have completed this “Path of
Return.”
“Love is the source of all - love that is unconditional
and selfless: love which is totally free. Qi came into being, flowing
out of unconditional love. From timelessness, from Wuji, Qi created the
Universe. From a non-definable reality, Yin and Yang, the world of
Duality, came into being. Wuji became Taiji. Yin Qi and Yang Qi blended
together and gave birth to the Universe. It is Qii that created the
Universe and it is unconditional love that gave birth to Qi.” - Lu Jun

The Seven Superuniverses, “The Urantia Book”, 1955.
The
Urantia Book (sometimes called the Urantia Papers or The Fifth Epochal
Revelation) is a spiritual and philosophical book. The exact
circumstances of the origin of The Urantia Book are unknown. The book
and its publishers do not name a human author. Instead, it is written as
if directly presented by numerous celestial beings appointed to the
task of providing an “epochal” religious revelation.
According to
Urantia Papers, there are seven superuniverses in the grand universe,
and they are constituted approximately as follows:
1. The System.
The basic unit of the supergovernment consists of about one thousand
inhabited or inhabitable worlds. Spheres not suitable for creature
habitation are not included in this group. These one thousand worlds
adapted to support life are called a system. Each inhabited planet is
presided over by a Planetary Prince, and each local system has an
architectural sphere as its headquarters and is ruled by a System
Sovereign.
2. The Constellation. One hundred systems (about
100,000 inhabitable planets) make up a constellation. Each constellation
has an architectural headquarters sphere and is presided over by three
Vorondadek Sons, the Most Highs. Each constellation also has a Faithful
of Days in observation, an ambassador of the Paradise Trinity.
3. The Local Universe.
One hundred constellations (about 10,000,000 inhabitable planets)
constitute a local universe. Each local universe has a magnificent
architectural headquarters world and is ruled by one of the co-ordinate
Creator Sons of God of the order of Michael. Each universe is blessed by
the presence of a Union of Days, a representative of the Paradise
Trinity.
4. The Minor Sector. One hundred local universes
(about 1,000,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a minor sector of
the superuniverse government; it has a wonderful headquarters world,
wherefrom its rulers, the Recents of Days, administer the affairs of the
minor sector.
5. The Major Sector. One hundred minor sectors
(about 100,000,000,000 inhabitable worlds) make one major sector. Each
major sector is provided with a superb headquarters and is presided over
by three Perfections of Days, Supreme Trinity Personalities.
6. The Superuniverse.
Ten major sectors (about 1,000,000,000,000 inhabitable planets)
constitute a superuniverse. Each superuniverse is provided with an
enormous and glorious headquarters world and is ruled by three Ancients
of Days.
7. The Grand Universe. Seven superuniverses make up
the present organized grand universe, consisting of approximately seven
trillion inhabitable worlds plus the architectural spheres and the one
billion inhabited spheres of Havona. The superuniverses are ruled and
administered indirectly and reflectively from Paradise by the Seven
Master Spirits. The billion worlds of Havona are directly administered
by the Eternals of Days, one such Supreme Trinity Personality presiding
over each of these perfect spheres.

Robert Fludd - Under Your Wings, “Utriusque Cosmi”, 1621.
King
David kneels before the Highest saying: “Under the Shadow of your wings
I rejoice” (Psalm 63:7). The theme recalls the Rosicrucian manifesto of
1614 that ended with similar words: “Sub umbra alarum tuarum Jehovah”.
The clouds have parted to let David see directly the Tetragrammaton, the
unpronounceable word that the Jews refer to as Adonai (Lord) or simply
as Shem (The Word). Fludd generally used these Hebrew letters to
represent God in his diagrams. Kabbalists are easily accommodated to the
doctrine of the Trinity: the three different letters Yod, He and Vau,
which are interpreted as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Thomas Wright - A Central Section of Creation with the All-Seeing Eye, “An Original Theory or New Hypothesis of the Universe”, 1750.
Combining
astronomical and theological concepts, Thomas Wright proposed a version
of the universe where the stars are arranged in a spherical shell
separated from a supernatural center by a huge gap. The stars are in
motion about the center, like planets. And the stars form individual
solar systems that make up the Milky Way galaxy. The center of Wright’s
universe is the domain of a divine Presence, who is responsible for all
the motion of the stars. Wright’s universe is modified by Immanuel Kant,
who saw the stars not as an unordered crowd, but an ordered system
lying in a plan moving by motions guided by Newton’s laws of motion.

Valentin Vigo - Oneness, 1695.
Alchemists held a vision of totality and connection of all elements.
They sought to uncover the knowledge unlocked in the secrets of the
elements. In this worldview, transformation was the essence of the
alchemical search for wisdom and power. All that is – is one
inconceivable invisible connection of harmonies flowing, exchanging, and
sharing their powers in infinite fields. Chi Gong works in connection
to all that holds Chi: earth, heaven, air, metal, wood, fire, water,
etc. This image captures the beautiful alchemy of Chi and the
orchestration that takes place all around us. It is so subtle that it is
invisible to our eyes, but not to our energy bodies. The intelligence
in nature is one of energy transformation and exchange in balance,
enhancing feedback flows and minimizing waste.

Johannes Kepler - Geometrical Harmonies in the Perfect Solids, “Harmonices Mundi”, 1619.
Kepler
was convinced “that the geometrical things have provided the Creator
with the model for decorating the whole world”. In Harmony, he attempted
to explain the proportions of the natural world - particularly the
astronomical and astrological aspects - in terms of music. The central
set of “harmonies” was the Musica Universalis or “Music of the Spheres”.
Kepler
began by exploring regular polygons and regular solids, including the
figures that would come to be known as Kepler’s solids. Harmony
resulted from the tones made by the souls of heavenly bodies - and in
the case of astrology, the interaction between those tones and human
souls. In the final portion of the work, Kepler dealt with planetary
motions, especially relationships between orbital velocity and orbital
distance from the Sun. Similar relationships had been used by other
astronomers, but Kepler treated them much more precisely and attached
new physical significance to them.

Robert Fludd - Divine Monochord, “Utriusque Cosmi Metaphysica, Physica Atque Technica Historia”, 1617.
Starting
in 1617, Fludd published series of richly illustrated large format
volumes putting forward his own mystical alchemical theories of the
natural world. Fludd’s philosophy was based on a Paracelsian
micro-cosmos macro-cosmos theory and he interpreted the world in terms
of a series of highly complex mystical diagrams rather like Buddhist
mandalas. He believed that one could only approach the true essence of
nature through such symbolic representations and he explicitly rejected
the then emerging mathematical description of the physical world.
Central to Fludd picture of the world was the so-called Pythagorean
monocord, an instrument that displayed the numerical harmonies of
Pythagorean philosophy.
