Key 528, Pt. 2 : Cosmology

“Knowledge of the pattern is the beginning of every practical wisdom.”

Sean Kane

This post is a long while in the making, so let’s get right to it!  I have now better assimilated “528″ into my construct and want to share…

First we need to start with the Tree of Life.  When I speak of the Tree of Life, I am speaking of nested hierarchies of vibrational frequencies.  Just as it is with any other tree, the Tree of Life comes from “the Knowledge in its midst”, the seed-matrix which contains the fullness of its potential.

In the Universal Religion (put forth in distinct spectrums by the Mystery Traditions) the first and greatest visible sphere on the Tree of Life is Keter.  By greatest I mean all-encompassing and closest to the Source.  By visible, I mean perceptible.  Keter is referred to as the bursting forth of creation and is likened to both a fountain and the first shoot (which becomes the roots and trunk of the Tree).  Keter is the All-That-Is and the some-thing out of no-thing; the first act of creation which is commonly called “the light of life”…

Hmmm.  The first act.  As I disclosed in my previous post, in Solfeggio Harmonics the first act is Mira Gestorum, the “Miraculous Deed”, and that which is implied when we refer to the third-note as “MI”.  If you recall “MI” is the note which vibrates at 528 cycles per second and, like Keter, relates to the breaking forth of light.  It didn’t take long for “MI” and Keter to become synonymous in my thinking…

When Keter is called “first light” or “the purity of light” or “the light of life” the implication is not the light of our familiar celestial luminaries but a manner of “light” which precedes them.  This “light” is commonly called miraculous because it is the perfect (“outer”) reflection of the originating (“inner”) seed-flame (Knowledge).  And by perfect I mean complete, whole, and one.  Within the reflection is suspended every potential of the source-knowledge.

According to Paul Foster Case this light is unlimited and it, as well as the whole of creation which expresses it, is the spontaneous reply to the seeding-desire to know.  Knowledge desired to know itself.  That is, to be and in full consciousness.  This is likened to the expanding/exploding spark of self-realization or a dormant seed becoming active and breaking forth.

Case tells us that the desire to know or to be was “asserted by pronouncing The Word” which shaped or projected a perfect reflection in which (the whole potential of) Knowledge could experience its totality.  The no-thing became some-thing with the potential of becoming anything, and so it is called endless.

In response to “The Word” was the perfect reflection, the conscious reply, “I AM!”  In other words, the motion of Will generated an explosion of life and light.  Biblically this is described as darkness on the face of the deep (of consciousness) and then the “breath of God moving on the face of the waters” and saying “let there be light”.  Creation is but the awakening of consciousness!

This is the miraculous deed; the extraordinary change!  This is Keter, the totality of infinite existence!  This is life!  That which contains all, is all, and exists in all!  An infinite sea of the perfect medium within which the light of our consciousness can realize the fullness of its expression…

This is 528!

In the Universal Religion Keter is the Primal Water stirred to life (in the shape of a golden spiral) by the motion of sound – the invisible, hissing breath of Primal Fire (aka “God”).  Similarly, in Gnostic mysticism (refer to Mark H. Gaffney), the breaking forth of the light (of life) is the breaking forth of the Living Waters (from the darkness of the infertile “deep” of no-thing-ness).  And this correlates to Jewish mysticism where the “limitless and formless sea” of Keter is the gleaming fountainhead for the stream of Life – the root cause or prototype which literally pervades (or rather carves out and/or defines) the whole of space with its (vibrational) currents.

If the no-thing is likened to an infinitesimal seed (point) of infinite potential, as it is in the text of the Naassenes (again, refer to Gaffney), then next comes the some-thing, the life-line which embodies (and thereby concentrates) the infinite.  Within this context the life-line breaks from the seed and spreads opposite ways, root and stem, to circumscribe infinity.  It expands until its ends meet, thereby being “endless” and encompassing all within its perfect circle.  Thus Keter, while translated “crown”, comes from a root meaning “to surround” or “encircle”.  While the line is ultimately without beginning or end, because of its encircling it still lends a certain defining perimeter or “concentration” to the infinite creation.

Mystically it is stated that it was the heated breath of passion (the desire of the Fire – I couldn’t resist) that “caused the limitless light to behave as though it were a vapor and condense” (Case’s words).  Regardie similarly describes this “concentration of the infinite” as the result of a whirling motion and then precedent to the emanation of life.  Contraction (or a pulling in or gathering together) always follows expansion (or a push out) and always precedes creation.  The pattern is always an undulating repetition of focus and dispersion because ultimately we are talking about the movement of Knowledge toward the full gamut of its expression.

Aryeh Kaplan tells us that the aforementioned circumscribing line of Keter is not traversing the distance in terms of space but defining the gamut of potential.  Keter, according to Kaplan, is not only the First Cause, but includes every possible effect.

Ultimately, what we perceive as beginning and end are merely two vibrational “faces” of the same one-thing, and in Keter they are undivided.  Keter is often called “the Crown of Awareness”, and outside of that pristine awareness it can be difficult connect cause and effect, beginning and end, unless they share a close proximity in timespace.  Keter teaches us (as then should the frequency 528 also reveal) that proximity to our own fountainhead of infinite life and light is simply a matter of vibrational resemblance and reflection and doesn’t require traversing (any amount of) space.  We simply must make room within our conception to expand beyond the encircling limit of the horizon and break forth into a new realm of potential.

Think of the root and stem as they burst from the seed – they are practically indistinguishable.  Yet the more potential is limited – one becomes the stem, one becomes the root, one stretches here, the other reaches there – the “further away” their apparent likeness from their origin.  Should we strip away the vibrational layers of their selected expressions, however, we arrive back at the indistinguishable; their sum of all originating powers.

This, I believe, is a fundamental aspect of the miracle of 528.  As our own vibration attunes to this frequency of life, the potency of our existence awakens.  What we perceive as miraculous repair and restoration is merely the breaking forth of our own unlimited potential.

While it may be initially confusing, it isn’t an accident that in Solfeggio Harmonics “MI”, the third note, is related to the first true act.

First of all consider that “MI” is preceded or brought into existence by, in essence, vocal resonance (“RE”) born of “the gamut” or whole potential (“UT” now sung “Do”), and you will see it is the same teaching I’ve been expounding in different terms, truly with those for ears to hear…

The tendency is to want to automatically link the six divisions or “days” of creation with the notes of the musical scale in the most straightforwardly apparent fashion, yet in doing so we forget the most essential essence of the act of creation – that it occurred by reflection – and thereby loose a bit of Knowledge so fundamental that many Traditions refer to as “The Word”.  That is, “As Above, so is Below.”

Upon closer examination you will find that the first division of creation is actually a complete expression (the “Above”) which brings about (creates) the other six:

	The Above : The 1st Day	The Below
UT The Whole Potential	Hidden Point Darkness/Knowledge	2nd Day : Firmament in the Midst of the Waters
RE Resonance	Curving Line/Spiral Motion/Breath	3rd Day :  Elements Gather and Yield in Accord to Like Kind
MI Extraordinary Change	Circle Let there be Light/Existence	4th Day : Let there be Lights in the Firmament (Beings of Fire)
FA Limitations and Boundaries	Six-Points/Hexagon Division/Judgment	5th Day : Creatures Made in Accord to their Realm (Beings of Water and Air)
SOL Liberation and Opening	Hexagram/Two Triangles Resolution/Solution	6th Day :  Release of the Light from the Darkness
LA Absolution and Empowerment	Hexagram within a Hexagon Divine Power Expressed/Absolution	7th Day : Holy Day of Rest

This table, as simple as it seems, imparts an important formula known to the certain QBLH-ist as Ma’aseh Barashit, meaning “the Action of Creation”.  The reference is to the first three words of Genesis Barashit bara Elohim which, in proper translation, provide a rather startling esoteric conception to creation and, in fact, make a clear statement to the mindset in which Genesis was put forth.  In this post, I am primarily concerned with those first SIX letters of Genesis, BRAShYT (Barashit), with which most are familiar as the translation “In the Beginning” or “With a Beginning”.  Yet a simple shift of the syllable break, so that there are 2 words, 3 letters composing each, and we have the imperative, “create six”, or in the context of the entire phrase, “The hidden unknown created six”.

Of course these “six” are the six divisions of creation, each conceived through a tone and together of one assertion or statement, and each lending its hue and frequency to the entire created sphere.  This is why we can see each as a certain concept, as a sound, as a number, as a color, as a process and pattern…

Here is the pattern which leads us to “the extraordinary change” which is the bursting forth of existence…

“God”, the hidden unknown, is the deep, dark Fire of consciousness known as “the whole potential” and symbolized by the concealed, primordial point (UT).  Before there is that which is termed as “creation” there is the “inner radiance” of the hidden unknown, limitless; and then “motion” (RE), commonly called a “whirling”.  This “motion” is named as will, or realization, or projection, or sound, or the stirring breath and is associated in every case to gathering, concentration, or contraction; a pulling inward before the outward push of “visible” expression.  This contraction is called tzimtzum, “withdrawal”, and is a rather abstract concept associated to making or carving space for the continuum of existence; a whole making room for the next stage of expression; a gathering of energy so as to explode forth with a different sort of radiance – the light of life.

Geometers would describe it as the motion of a line (RE), moving out from the center (UT), which becomes the radius that then determines the circumference and surface of, in QBLH-ist speak, “the infinite sphere” (MI), Keter, the same letters of which can be rearranged to spell a word meaning “to cut out” and implying an excision which makes a space.  If the 2 feet of the compass, the tool of measuring the illusive and infinite, is set at the distance of the radius, six and only six points can be marked in equal measure around the circumference.  It’s these six points – these “supernal directions” which are something quite different than (but absolutely progenitive to) the six directions in the cube of space  - extended infinitely (that is so that they come back to the place of touching themselves) which take the circle into three-dimensions and allow it to become the infinite sphere of created life.  Therefore it is six which allows for MI’s extraordinary change and for the sum-total of existence; that is, creation.  And from these six points “God forever geometrizes”, marking all the boundaries and limitations of the forms of existence, beginning with a hexagon (FA)…

Thus it is mystically stated that the secret of Genesis is the secret of hexagon, or in other words, of how the frequency of Life, the sum-total of existence – 528, MI – comes to be and then is “reduced” to six.

5+2+8 = 15 = 6

Once again contraction or condensation – which work to concentrate and reduce an essence, as well as to make the space for something more – is the necessary stage before expansion; before the fullness of expression can be realized.  This reduction comes through the whirling motion or vibrational resonance, so often related to the golden mean spiral and thereby setting the precedent, “As the Whole is to the Greater, so is the Greater to the Less”, which is the Geometer’s version of “The Word”.

Within this Word is embodied its effect – the light of life – which is, in turn, the cause or force of creation.  As the real esoteric knowledge in Genesis this truth, as I’ve stated, is called “the Key” (to unlocking the Book’s secret).  In fact, the Gematric value of the Hebrew word for “the key” (MPThCh) is 528!

This Key comes down to the all-important awareness that vibration matters to the extent of carrying forth miraculous actions.  The miracle of life is the result of a specific tone which in broader terms implies that Knowledge is transferred through sound.  Sound waves pattern light, which then pattern form; and through a very distinct progression which becomes quite relevant to our own process of “breaking forth” our light and actualizing our life.

Mira Gestorum is truly life in its full extension, the shining light of all potentials, expressed.  Yet creation is not a closed system, for then it couldn’t renew itself.   There is, underlying all things, the whispered Knowledge of the Inner Fire, with which we can harmonize to awaken extraordinary change.
