Anatomy of the Star Goddess: Quantum Cosmology, Virtual States, Energy Science, and Scalar Fields
Anatomy of the Star Goddess: Quantum Cosmology, Virtual States, Energy Science, and Scalar Fields ANATOMY OF THE STAR GODDESS (1999): This article, originally written as an adjunct to The Diamond Body, is about further investigations into the qabalistic and synergetic properties of the Vector Equilibrium Matrix. For placement in SYNERGETIC QABALA, it has been updated with notions from Post Quantum Physics and its relevance to the the mind/matter interface. Its departure point is Crowley's (and the Egyptian) notion that "Infinite Space is the Goddess Nuit." Here we investigate the archetypal and virtual properties of this Star Goddess, and what that implies in terms of qabalistic emanation, the collective unconscious, the paranormal, and mind-over-matter. Her body is the incorporeal matrix underlying the physical Universe and the human psyche, underlying all phenomena. When this article was originally written, scalar physics was considered alternative science. Since then its stock has gone up. There has been a mainstream revolution in cosmology, (SciAmer, Jan. 1999), which confirms the importance of "vacuum energy." The standard cosmology of the 1980s, postulating a flat universe dominated by matter is dead. The universe is either open or filled with an energy of unknown origin. Put another way, "nothing" could not possibly be more interesting. There are also psychological implications. Like virtual entities, images or symbols percolate in and out of consciousness below the threshold of consciousness. They appear much like virtual particles blink in and out of "existence." The newest generation of physics, Post-Quantum Physics posits a model for mind-over-matter, which operates with quantum backflow that is also relevant to our discussion. This article is not for the intellectually timid...good luck.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear engineer and researcher, Thomas E. Bearden has proposed a new approach to physics with some startling new theories based on Hugh Everett's many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics (1973). Bearden extends QM theory, rather than corrupting it. The main thrust of Bearden's work is toward explaining paranormal phenomena, the collective unconscious, weaponry, and other technological possibilities. His new view of physics (energy science) is grounded in what he calls scalar electromagnetics, from which he proposes deriving "free energy." This is, in essence, tapping the Vector Equilibrium Matrix for zero point energy. The key to his technological approach is to "let the EM force fields fight themselves to a 'cancellation,' forming a vector zero." Antigravity is just one possibility. Multiple realities contain all possibilities, but in enfolded or virtual states. This theory alleges that there are clustered worlds, which are three-dimensional to an observer within them, yet virtual to an observer from outside. These hyperspace dimensions are orthogonally rotated (90 degrees) in respect to one another. Selecting a frame, or cube of space, facilitates access. When we consider the vastness of space, we perceive emptiness due to our relative position in this universe. The Void is actually densely packed with virtual energy which awaits translation, or transduction into our observable 3-dimensional reality. These energies or entities appear as virtual because they are unobservable through ordinary means. Crosstalk across these channels is the basis for the collective unconscious, paranormal phenomena, and the manifestation of our material world. Like philosophy, physics is not any absolute description of Truth. Rather, both disciplines invite us to "Look at it this way." This approach is very much in line with the long-standing tradition of speculative Qabala and Hermetic philosophy.

QUANTUM COSMOLOGY, THE GROSS ANATOMY OF NUIT: This Book explains the Universe. The elements are Nuit--Space--that is, the total of possibilities of every kind--and Hadit, any point which has experience of these possibilities. (This idea is for literary convenience symbolized by the Egyptian Goddess Nuit, a woman bending over like the Arch of the Night Sky. Hadit is symbolized as a Winged Globe at the heart of Nuit.) Each one of us has thus an universe of his own, but it is the same universe for each one as soon as it includes all possible experience. This implies the extension of consciousness to include all other consciousness. --Aleister Crowley, THE BOOK OF THE LAW Thomas Bearden's theories bear directly on our investigation of the nature of Nuit and the vector equilibrium matrix. By commenting on the physical and philosophical qualities of the vacuum, and attempting to describe how nothing becomes something, Bearden has joined a host of philosophers, mystics, and scientists with an interest in the threshold of our observable universe, and what lies beyond. In EXCALIBER BRIEFING: EXPLAINING PARANORMAL PHENOMENA (1988), Bearden succinctly outlines his theory, as well as offering several real-time applications. In order to relate his ideas and those of Everett to our notions of the V.E.M., we shall have to draw heavily on his work. We ask the reader's patience with the necessary quotes, but we hope they will simplify the complexity of comprehending even the gross nature of the V.E.M. But before we review Bearden's ideas, we will discuss what state-of-the-art quantum cosmology has to say about the nature of reality. Long ago the Gnostics believed that the true unrevealed nature of the Void was a Plenum, or fullness. Modern quantum mechanics has physically verified this intuitive perception of reality. The vacuum of empty space is not empty. It contains energy (zero point energy) and entities (pure virtual particles). Both the energy field and empty space are in flux, and probably interface with other universes through wormholes (or tunnels). Sidney Coleman, a theoretical physicist from Harvard, has been investigating the nature of the vacuum and its relationship to the cosmological constant--zero. He, and other physicists can't decide whether the total energy in the vacuum should be positive or negative, but they agree that the energy ought to be huge. Coleman asserts "the cosmological constant is zeroed out by wormholes; invisible, submicroscopic rips in the fabric of space-time that tunnel out of our universe, linking it to an infinite web of other universes." The rational of the cosmological constant derives from the uncertainty principle, which applies to variables like energy and time: What it says in this case is that the precision with which you can measure the energy of any system, such as a piece of empty space, is limited by the duration of the measurement; the shorter the time, the greater the imprecision. And this indeterminacy can never be resolved simply by more accurate measuring instruments; it is inherent in the system itself. Over a short enough time the system can assume just about any energy--and it does. In a world ruled by quantum mechanics, the energy of the system in any fleeting instant can be seen only as a wavelike function. As a consequence, the vacuum of empty space is not empty; it is pervaded by fluctuating fields of energy that, when large enough, manifest themselve as particles--individual photons, for example, or particle pairs consisting of an ordinary electron or quark and its anti-matter twin, which burst into existence and then annihilate. The vacuum is thick with these short-lived "virtual" particles. It looks empty only because each particle's visit to existence, according to the uncertainty principle, is so infinitesimally brief as to be undetectable. But the effects of these virtual particles en masse may be detectable. Virtual particles ought to have one effect in particular: their energy ought to warp space. The deformation would be entirely independent of that wrought by ordinary matter, and so, Einstein notwithstanding, it would constitute a nonzero cosmological constant. How big would the constant be? That depends on how often virtual particles appear in a given volume of space, and it also depends on the type of particles. Virtual quarks and electrons have much the same effect as their "real" counterparts: they cause space to contract. But virtual photons, or any other force-transmitting particles, have the opposite effect: they cause space to expand. There are a whole bunch of things that contribute to the cosmological constant. Some are plus, some are minus, so we expect some of them to cancel. But not the whole lot... The cosmological constant is very nearly zero. The mechanism, according to Coleman, is similar to virtual particles in that it arises from quantum fluctuations. But this time the fluctuations aren't those of energy fields [zero point energy]; they are fluctuations of empty space itself [vector equilibrium fluctuations]. Stephen Hawking invented the quantum wormhole in 1988. Just as quantum mechanics says there is a certain probability that particles can appear from nowhere in a vacuum, quantum cosmology says there may be a certain probability that a small chunk of space and time will suddenly pop into existence. That is what a wormhole is--a fluctuation in the space-time field, just as a virtual particle is a fluctuation in an energy field. The wormhole could connect to any one of an endless number of preexisting parallel universes that are otherwise inaccessible to us. There is no reason to assume our universe is the only one; webs of parallel universes are equally possible. They can be imagined like balloons connected to one another by thin, rubbery necks of space-time--those are the wormholes. The regions inside and outside the balloons and wormholes are outside space-time. It doesn't exist. One meaningful consequence of wormholes is that they might contribute information to our universe in the form of values for the constants of nature. They might also fix the energy density of the vacuum--the cosmological constant. Somehow wormholes arrange things so that the value of the cosmological constant is zero--so that the huge virtual particle components cancel exactly. According to quantum cosmology, this is by far the most likely outcome. Zero point energy is the kinetic energy that remains in a substance when its temperature is absolute zero. The vacuum has zero point energy, also. Any potential is just a bunch of trapped dynamic vectors, hence trapped vector (translational) energy. It is translational energy that is locally trapped and not translating. The potential is thus like an accumulator or capacitor. It can be "charged up" and "discharged." The vacuum is increasingly being regarded as composed of an incredibly dense structure of virtual electromagnetic energy, even at zero degrees absolute. Superspace consists of pure massless charge flux, pure scalar waves. If compacted this energy density of the vacuum is enormous. Here, in the vacuum, spacetime is incredibly dense, and matter is etherically thin. Spacetime goes through matter, rather than matter through spacetime. And this energy density of the vacuum does interact with electromagnetic fields and matter to give observable effects, such as the Lamb shift. In his inflationary model of the hot Big Bang, Alan H. Guth considers matter to consist of scalar-field particles, (SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, Dec. 1991). "Such field particles are not the stuff of everyday life, but they do arise naturally in many theories." Indeed, they are believed to be the dominant form of matter under the extremely high energy conditions similar to those in the early universe. According to the inflationary model, they lead to a kind of negative pressure. Gravity effectively becomes a repulsive force, and inflation occurs. At the end of the inflationary era, the decay of the scalar-field matter producing the expansion heated the (initially cold) universe to a very high temperature. Although the scalar field is largely homogeneous, it still may have small, inhomogeneous parts. According to quantum theory, these inhomogeneous parts cannot be exactly zero but must be subject to small quantum fluctuations. (In fact, all types of matter are subject to such quantum effects, but for most purposes the fluctuations are so small as to be totally insignificant.) The rapid expansion of the universe during inflation magnified these initially insignificant microscopic fluctuations, transforming them into macroscopic changes in density [ref. chaos theory and the pumping up of micro- to macro-scopic changes as one of the characteristics of chaos]. Inflation itself depends on a number of assumptions. For example, it would have occurred only if the scalar field began with a large, approximately constant energy density. This approximately constant energy density is equivalent, at least for a brief time, to Einstein's famous (or infamous) cosmological constant. Therefore, like it or not, the success of inflation rests on certain assumptions about initial conditions [another aspect of chaos theory]. What happened before inflation? How did the universe actually begin?" In the pre-inflation era, the size of the universe tends to zero, and the strength of the gravitational field and the energy density of matter tend to infinity. That is, the universe appears to have emerged from a singularity, a region of infinite curvature and energy density at which the known laws of physics break down. Near a singularity, space-time becomes highly curved; its volume shrinks to very small dimensions. Under such circumstances, one must appeal to the theory of the very small--that is, to quantum theory. In quantum mechanics, motion is not deterministic, but probabilistic. A quantity called the wave function encodes the probabilistic information about such variables as position, momentum and energy. For a single-point particle, one can regard the wave function as an oscillating field spread throughout physical space. Because of the uncertainty principle, the kinetic and potential energy of a system cannot both be exactly zero. Instead the system has a ground state in which the energy is as low as it can be. (Recall that in the inflationary universe, galaxies form from "ground-state fluctuations.") Such fluctuations also prevent the orbiting electron from crashing into the nucleus. The electrons have an orbit of minimum energy from which they cannot fall into the nucleus without violating the uncertainty principle. Though it is still considered an extravagant claim, the fundamental assertion of quantum cosmology is that quantum mechanics applies to the entire universe at all times and to everything in it. In a theory of the universe, of which the observer is a part, there should be no fundamental division between observer and observed. The wave function of the entire universe can't collapse each time an observation is made. In cosmology, there is only one system, which is measured only once. Hugh Everett III of Princeton (1930-1982) asserted that there exists a universal wave function describing both macroscopic observers and microscopic systems, with no fundamental division between them. A measurement is just an interaction between different parts of the entire universe, and the wave function should predict what one part of the system "sees" when it observes another. So, there is no collapse of the wave function, only a smooth evolution described by the Schrodinger wave equation for the entire system. But as he modeled the measurement process, Everett made a truly remarkable discovery: the measurement appears to cause the universe to "split" into sufficiently many copies of itself to take into account all possible outcomes of the measurement. This has been discounted by others into possible histories for the universe with assigned probabilities. For practical purposes, it does not matter if we think of all or just one them as actually happening. Certain regions, such as those close to classical singularities, exist in which no prediction is possible. There the notions of space and time quite simply do not exist. There is just a "quantum fuzz," still describable by known laws of quantum physics but not by classical laws. [It may be subject to the laws of quantum chaos]. Inflation is assumed as one of the quantum initial conditions. The inescapable task of the quantum cosmologist is to propose laws of initial or boundary conditions for the universe. Stephen Hawking's idea is called the no-boundary proposal, which admits many possible histories. Perhaps, the universe has tunneled from "nothing." The evolution described by inflation and the big bang would have subsequently occurred after tunneling. This is consistent with the Qabalistic explanation of the emanation of Kether from Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur--the veils of negative existence. The picture that emerges is of a universe with nonzero size and finite (rather than infinite) energy density appearing from a quantum fuzz. After quantum creation, the wave function assigns probabilities to different evolutionary paths, one of which includes the inflation postulated by Guth. Although some theorists disagree, both the no-boundary and tunneling proposals seem to predict the… truncated (124,047 more characters in archive)
