Metaform and Metamedium

Let us now have a look at reality from the perspective of the medium-form differentiation by Niklas Luhman. It is simple: A radio wave consists of a medium and a form. The medium is the so called 'carrier wave', the form is the modulation of that carrier wave. Let us say, the carrier wave has a frequency of 100 MHz and is being modulated by music from Bach, which is the modulation. So here we have a typical radio-station.

When we look at this situation more clearly, we realize that the carrier wave has a form too, the form of a sine wave of 100 MHz. This means, that the carrier wave may be looked at as a medium or as a form. In relation to the underlying medium, the carrier wave is a form. In relation to the superimposed form, the carrier wave is a medium. It is all very relative.

I have given you this example, in order to make clear what we will be talking about from now on. Now what is the underlying medium of the carrier wave? The carrier wave moves in something - not in nothing. Some call this medium 'ether', some call it 'space'. We should be careful not to consider space as nothing. Space is something, is a medium. As long as we are in that medium, it is everywhere and therefore there is no place where it is not. Therefore we cannot differentiate it in relation to its opposite. What the mind cannot differentiate doesn't seem to exist for the mind.

The space you are aware of cannot possibly be the space physicists talk about, because only you are aware of its contents. It is subjective space, it is your dream-space and you are always in it. Let us call your subjective space your subjective medium or s-medium.

We have said, that any medium can be looked at as a form of a medium of a higher order. The s-medium is just a form of an underlying medium. Let's now call the medium of a higher order the h-medium. The question now is this: Could that h-medium also be a form of a still higher medium? 

Of course this is possible. This iteration can go on and on, and ultimately we will probably get to the ultimate medium. Let's call it the u-medium. The u-medium is no longer a form of any medium of a still higher order. We just have defined it that way.

Let's now have a look at metaphysics: It is about beings, about your soul, about consciousness and awareness. Your personal space, your s-medium is your beingness. Your beingness is called your soul by some. The underlying medium containing your soul and the soul of myriads of other humans we have called the 'h-medium'. In metaphysics the h-mediums are called 'angel'. The beingness of an angel contains many human souls. The beingness of an angel is its soul, its h-medium. The human soul is a s-medium.

The being called angel or h-medium is a form of a medium of a higher order. We called it u-medium. The u-medium contains all the angelic beings. The u-medium contains all of the h-mediums and the h-mediums contain all of the s-mediums.

As we have stated, there are many different mediums of a higher order. We may call them h1-medium, h2-medium and so on. The higher the number, the closer it gets to the ultimate medium, the u-medium. On can state: h1, h2....ha, a goes towards infinite=u-medium. In metaphysics, the u-medium is also called GOD or the Supreme Self, or the SELF. 

Beings can only exist in duality. Where there is no duality, there can be no differentiation and thus there can be only one, only ONE. In reality there is only ONE, in illusion there are many.

Realty is the ultimate medium, the u-medium. Illusions are the many mediums of lower order contained in that u-medium. In relation to forms contained in those lower mediums, these mediums appear as mediums, as underlying principles, as real. In relation to the ultimate medium, these lower mediums appear as forms. 

Forms are forms of information, forms are information-patterns, forms are in-form-ation. Where there is information, there is duality. Where there is duality, there is knowledge, where there is knowledge, there is conflict, where there is conflict, there is suffering.

We have shown that the underlying principle of information, of form is the u-medium or the SELF. Obviously you exist, you are aware and thus you are, you are a being. What you are aware of is not what others are aware of and thus you are not everything. Because you are not everything, there must be other beings. The being containing all the beings, the medium containing all of the forms, the medium containing all individual beings is called the u-medium or GOD or the SELF.

We have shown that GOD truly exists. The proof of HIS existence is your existence. The fact that you are not aware of everything proves that you have not yet transcended your lower medium, your s-medium, your personal field of consciousness, your total personal manifestation.

To become aware of everything, you have to get rid of what is less than everything. Sometimes less is simply more.

On the ground of matter, on the ground of the illusion of being matter, on the ground of believing to be a body, the objective becomes subjective. On the other hand, on the ground of the Supreme Self, the subjective becomes objective. 

What does this mean? The more you believe to be, the more weight you will have as far as your meaning in this world is concerned. When you believe to be matter, then what you are aware of will merely be a reflection of the world of matter.  Then you will be a shadow. When you believe to be the Supreme Self, then the world of matter will be a reflection of what you are aware of. The world will be your shadow. 

Do you make the world or does the world make you? You decide.

The Relative Laws of Matter

You are reading this, you are assimilating information. You need information to tell you, how to interact with the world. What is the world? The world is your world, the world is the world you live in, the world is the world you are aware of, the world is what you are aware of. 

If you were only aware of you, if everything was you, then there would be no other object or subject and thus no interaction would be possible, and without interaction no information would be needed to tell you how to interact with the perceived object or subject. 

The perceived or observed apparently requires interaction and as soon as you interact, you wonder how, and how is a question and a question needs an answer. The answer comes to you in the form of information, and information is in-form-ation, is a form, the form of words, of letters, of symbols. 

Looking at a piece of art, without any words in it, also means assimilation of information, of meaning, means learning, means helping you to answer your questions, questions you have, because you have to interact with the observed.

Isn't it interesting: Art means symbolic transmission of information, creation of meaning through transmission of information. So you perceive symbols, symbols in the form of words or objects or music in order to enrich yourself, to give you the power you need in order to successfully interact with this world. For example you want to interact with a beautiful woman speaking french and therefore you learn french. This gives you the power, the capability of successful interaction with that being. Successful meaning being capable of realizing your will, whatever your will may be.

What is interesting is this: Whatever you perceive, an object or a human being, you want to interact with it, because it appears meaningful to you, the picture you perceive is meaningful, and a meaningful picture is called a symbol. What is a symbol for you may not be a symbol for another human being. Symbols are highly individual. 

Learning also means interacting, interaction with letters or pictures or sounds, and you interact with them, because they appear meaningful to you. Therefore, here also we have interaction with symbols. Symbols are meaningful forms or pictures or sounds or shapes.

We learn in order to better interact with symbols, and learning itself means interacting with symbols also. Therefore interacting with anything in so called real life means learning. And on the other hand, the process of learning means interaction with symbols and thus can be called real life.

This is interesting: You interact with symbols in order to better interact with symbols. In what way exactly does your perception of a particular symbol change as a result of a process of learning? You don't know how to interact with a symbol, therefore you ask questions hoping the received answers will help you handling that symbol better, more efficiently, according to your will and wishes. You ask questions about that symbol, you receive answers and then you go back to that symbol and have a fresh start so to say. Now you will be more proficient in handling the symbol in question. 

How exactly will you perceive that symbol now? How has its perception changed as a result of this acquisition of information, as a result of this process of learning? You will feel a certain sense of security, the perceived symbol seems to be less dominant, it somehow seems to be weaker, it seems to belong to you more, it seems to be rather a part of your own beingness, you seem to identify with it more. 

Now why not just do it the other way round? Instead of learning in order to identify more with the perceived, why not identify directly more with it, without learning? Now your little mind bound to the laws of matter, bound to your cultural indoctrination wonders how this should be possible: Knowledge without learning. That's exactly what magick is all about.

The man of matter can never grasp his, it is beyond his understanding. The man of spirit however, knowing hat his soul is all-knowing, knowing that it is illusion preventing him from knowing everything, simply learns by giving up the illusion that his knowledge is less than infinite. He gives up the illusion that he is anything less than omniscient.

You are everything and thus you know everything, and therefore the assumption that you have to learn anything is simply false. This assumption is the result of the faith that you are less than everything. Therefore you have to reacquire what you believe not to have. Instead of a sequential assimilation of information trough the interaction with symbols, you simply give up that foolish belief, that illusionary notion, that you are less than omniscient.

Of course, if you were just a human being, giving up the faith of ignorance would not give you wisdom, giving up the belief of being poor would not make you rich. But the point is this: You are not a human being. This assumption is a belief also, and of course in that illusion of being human is contained the notion that your knowledge is not infinite, because a human being is not infinite.

What is a human being? At first there is being, and then the being, being supreme superimposes onto itself the assumption of being human, and of course this assumption also implies an ontological reduction of that supreme beings potential. A human being simply is not omniscient and thus this faith of being less is exactly what it means to succumb to the illusion of being human. And thus the illusion is made perfect. The supreme being is perfect and thus it's illusions are perfect too. Perfect in the sense of a perfect illusion of being anything less than perfect. Isn't it obvious?

You just give to yourself the permission to be more than human, and that's that. The illusion however is deeply ingrained in your body-mind-structure and thus this is easier said than done. And never believe it's difficult, for this belief actually makes it so.
