Wormholes of the Soul – a nondual look at consciousness and time travel

Can you imagine that this physical body is a portal to a variety of other dimensions?

Is it possible to recognize that being “here” is far more awesome and mysterious than our habit-dulled mind would have us believe?

Where is here? Could “here” simultaneously be somewhere else?

When we look for the “here”, through physical sensation or mental concept, it tends to collapse into a strangeness. “Here” can be experienced as spooky action, not at a distance.

Would it be worthwhile to inquire into the possibility that the “here” could be far more than anything our man-made imagination could dream of?

In meditation and the experience of being here, the only barrier to our passing through dimensions and experiencing heightened, deepened or liberated fields of perception is our own imagination.

We tend to harbour a collective belief in a “Here”, which is real as-seen, good-to-go, material in the sense of limited and separated by its contours, and fundamentally bound by the mechanistic Newtonian laws of physics. In this, our minds are enslaved to our mental ideas about matter – ideas which form realities out of patterns of identification – ideas entirely debunked by modern physics.

Modern physics tells us of quantum entanglement, multiple dimensions, wormholes and the non-existence of matter. The individual particles of which we are composed are 99.999999999999 percent empty. The other 0.000000000001 percent is where our present “reality” is happening, including perception, creation, past, present and future. This makes this sliver of “reality” – this slim dimension of energetic experience we dwell in – precious stuff on an relatively eternal and infinite blank canvas .

But the canvas is not fundamentally blank, it’s inherently empty. There is a difference. The emptiness is sometimes described by physicists as the unified field – the deepest quantum layer of pure potentiality and infinite probability – the causal layer of all dimensions where time and space have no effect, but which is at cause in the emergence of the interwoven dimensions of time and space.

In the realm of experience, this unified field is not sublime, nor is it unreachable. Beyond even the word intimacy (that suggests two entities) it is at the core of experience, the continuum through all perception and the constant through all states, whether material, energetic, frozen, liquid or air. In the words of Zen, it is directly under the nose, so at one with any moment that there is no where to search, grasp or reach and nothing to attain. As Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj said, it is That, which is prior even to being, prior to consciousness, prior to identity.

Wormholes

A wormhole, or Einstein-Rosen Bridge, is a hypothetical topological feature that would fundamentally be a shortcut through spacetime. A wormhole is much like a tunnel with two ends, each in separate points in spacetime. We are used to think of wormholes as some remote scientific postulate “out there” in the universe. We rarely consider that we might ourselves by the container of multiple wormholes to other dimensions, and to other perspectives in space and time.

Whole books can be written on this subject, but for those students of alternative medicine familiar with the chakra system, do you notice the remarkable resemblance between a wormhole and a chakra?

Whether or not the chakra system formally exists, it does seem that through the repeated movement of consciousness and awareness through these zones of the body, and the meditative exploration of them, there is the facilitation of experience of a different nature, more authentic (or more truthful in feeling) as the ‘regular’ experience through the physical senses. This could be a result of the generation of a field or the tunnelling through time and space through the “here-now” exploration of consciousness. It could also be that the organs have indeed gained a formal existence, in synchronization with the evolution of human form.

What seems true, is that the intense focussing of consciousness on any cell, sensation, feeling, or apparent “object” will at a certain stage have a tunnelling effect, leading to the experience of other dimensions. The spiritual teacher Russell Williams (Not I, Not Other than I) talks of the wormhole created through repeated meetings in his small sitting room in Manchester. On visiting him in that apparently regular house, the sense of a familiar, powerful, soulful presence of another dimension is indeed striking.

In a similar way, wormholes to more essential dimensions of time and space seem to be created in holy sites such as cathedrals, mosques, syngogues and Neolithic monuments such as Stone Henge. When we visit these places it can be as if we (choicelessly) stand at a portal to another dimension which we can either resist (by closing down our perception), allow, or even choose to explore. These dimensions are not “other” than tis one, they become revealed as existentially present within it.

What passes through a wormhole?

Of course, in the sensation of travelling into our chakras and out the back door into Nirvana-like dimensions, or in visting Stonehenge and experiencing the effect of an infinite, timeless presence through and in us, literally vibrating through the stone, it is easy to leave behind a core question. What or who, is this aspect that travels and how?

This month, science validated a few more startling facts of the quantum universe. The discovery of a particle without mass, first postulated in 1929 as the Weyl fermion, introduces evidence of a particle that not only can move electrical charge even more rapidly than an electron, it also simultaneous exists as matter and anti-matter.

This mass-less particle defies one of last laws of form – gravity, finding direction in and of itself as if containing an inner compass beyond time and space.

Another recent discovery is that the supposed (comforting) dividing line between our physical reality and the quantum reality, doesn’t actually exist. Bells inequality theorem has been proven false, bringing quantum directly uptown to the realm of our waking experience.

So the backdrop to our physical universe, (emptiness or That) can be described as an unlimited unified, intimately interwoven part of our consciousness or awareness, with fundamental particles that are easily able to defy gravity, time and space, connecting multiple dimensions through networks of wormholes.

Sometimes, that aspect of “who we are” that passes through the worm hole has been postulated as our consciousness, liberated from identification with form.

While it seems that the potential for consciousness does pass through a wormhole (or through a rift such as the divider between life and after-life), in the wormhole, in the moment of passing through the fabric of time and space, we would seem to be unconscious. There is a perceptive “blink” (like the moment of death, deep sleep or anaesthesia) after which consciousness  is able to reawaken elsewhere. That is, something beyond (and at source) of consciousness is the vehicle through which consciousness can pass through time and space.

Again, THAT which precedes and underlies consciousness seems to be the deeper vehicle to freedom. Consciousness, even in it’s identification with itself as consciousness, needs to release identification in order to access the unified field. It needs to surrender itself, to leap into the dark, to release attachment to its own “seeing” or “sensing”.

The Paradox of the Unified Field.

The argument is often made that awareness is the container of all experience and exists independently of all experience. Working backwards towards the source, it is then postulated that no experience can exist independently of awareness, therefore awareness is absolute. If we are not aware of it, it doesn’t exist.

The use of rudimentary experience to define awareness is upside down, however. It is akin to the admission that even pure, liberated awareness is itself an experience. Soon we get to the notion that we need to pinch ourselves to know that we are “here”, or as the Italian philosopher Prof. Mauro Bergonzi put it at the recent Science and Nonduality (SAND) 2015 meeting in Italy, “believing that consciousness is absolute is like searching for the darkness with a flash light. Every where you point the light, you see only light, so you conclude that darkness doesn’t exist. But sooner or later the batteries will wear out, and the darkness will be anyway revealed.”

In meeting with Mauro Bergonzi, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj asked the philosopher how he experiences himself. “As pure awareness.” Mauro answered. Nisargadatta took special care to show him he has to jump further back, to surrender more inward, even beneath the experience of pure, unidentified awareness.

The paradox is that experience is no longer there, because awareness is eclipsed.

However, experience does set in with the imprint of the effects of the leap into the darkness at the source of ourselves. With the re-emergence of perception, an imprint of THAT which is at the source of perception is felt, often in a liberated perception, vitalized experience, or amplification of energetic patterns where we are still not free. This in a way, reveals how all experience is nothing other than the effects of something beyond experience, beyond perception, beyond the visible. One of the imprints of diving (as Kant said) over the boundaries of our own imagination is the breakdown of identification, with assumed “realities”, built on the five senses (and sometimes these “realities” bite down with a final pleas for absolute status).

Not only this, but in the liberation of experience as a matter of effect and not the truth; experience itself transforms; the senses become free and non-identified; the body becomes realized in its miraculous fluidity; and the entity that passes through dimensions emerges as not that which is passing, but that which is perfectly still, as other dimensions pass through “it”. Wherever we travel, we are always “here”. We are not going anywhere, ever.

The surrender of consciousness, now and at the hour of our death, is the collapsed inwards to the core of who we are. It is the precise movement that allows transformation and the revelation of parallel dimensions. It is at source as the  indestructible unified core, pre-creation, pre-space/time) which as perspective to stand inwardly increasingly calms the nervous system in the liberation of the transient human form in its manifestation according to evolutionary need.

Sri Nisargadatta predicted that his teachings would be validated by science. Month by month, this is happening. What remains is for we humans to validate the wonders of quantum science by allowing it into our direct experience.
