The Universal Truth is the timeless Entity of Life


February 16, 2006


Quantum Life states that the origins of life are in the repository of all matter and non-matter. Evolution is convenient mythology, unproven and with many genetic "holes" in much the same way as any theory with a material element as its starting point, such as carbon being necessary for life, or biological impossibilities and even the crucible of DNA. Life begins from a place of non-matter and matter, as formed or unformed from "will" of life in order to manifest it. A state of potential in stasis.

That in the state of Wuji, as defined in Chinese Daoism; what modern science refers to in the mathematics of the "Singularity" in a state of ultimate density and now in M-theory; celebrated in pagan philosophies in their creation myth beginning with a watery waste and an abyss that the great God Marduk gave shape and order; and even referred to in the book of Genesis as, "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep"; The book of the Dead in Ancient Egypt and its defining the life eternal; for Chan or Zen Buddhist, the void; and most explicitly in the Kegon Sutra, in prose:
"In each atom
Of all lands in the cosmos
Buddha, by the power of liberation,
Manifests physically therein.

The reality-body is like space;
Unobstructed, without differentiation.
Physical forms appear like reflections,
Manifest myriad experiences.

Reflections have no location;
Like space, they've no substantial nature:
Those whose wisdom is great
Will comprehend their equality.

The Buddha-body is ungraspable;
Unborn, uncreated.
It appears in accord with beings.
Equanimous as empty space.

Is it not obvious to those who care to look, that the origin of life is not from anything? Is it not obvious that life is always evident at all states of phenomena and non-phenomena? A careful reading of the prose from the Kegon Sutra describes with crystal clarity down to the sub-atomic level that all life manifests from its own inherent "power of liberation". Described in Quantum Life as the motive force as by-product of thought, or idea.

Once again, as defined in "Quantum Life", the second stanza states the matter of life is non-matter, or energy, the waveform of particles unformed and formless, but for their concept as necessitated by the manifestation of an idea. "Physical forms appear like reflections" is a statement of thought, reflection, imposes form, "Manifest myriad experiences" from the basis of experience, a mind or spiritual state.

The next stanza establishes the lack of differentiated space/matter in the first line that thoughts have no location, then, like space, has no substance. To clarify, then goes on to say that in this state of un-differentiation, wisdom is required to comprehend equality. Un-differentiation mandates unity and equality, does it not? It follows that all phenomena, manifest of the same origin, are equal in origin. No matter what the requirements of differentiation, this equality of origin is consistent and timeless throughout all such phenomenal manifestations. In that we can perceive our existence we can also perceive differentiation and the myriad forms and hierarchies of the cosmos. Yet, can any one phenomenon be regarded as more essential than another? For the appearance of our mortal species has been calculated to such unfathomable specificity of events required throughout billions of years that to have any event or reaction or 100th of a degree of change or infinite and minute divergence of the birth of the universe would have negated the world we know.

The finishing stanza with the conditions for phenomena and life are unfathomable, "Unborn, uncreated". The final stanza then goes on to conclude that the phenomenal life force "appears with beings". This is obvious reference to manifest life from idea + motive force = differentiation, where "empty space" is "equanimous" - Collected, poised, self-collected, self-contained, self-possessed - "space".

All sacred texts deal with the knowledge already inherent in the fabric of being that long predates our mortal lives and yet remains within and extends to all futures of manifestation in timeless unity. All phenomena, knowable and un-knowable, formed and unformed, etc… are Equally essential to the experience that we call life. The value of life is also a repeated theme within the many sacred texts of Man.
Quantum Life holds this as its primary precept; that all life is essential to the matrix of life within and without our bodies unfettered by considerations of time. Time is merely another construct within the framework of the original impetus or idea that spawned this existence.

Further, the living mortal experience of the "power of liberation" as stated in the Kegon Sutra, is the expression and sensation of "Love". There is no measure for the power, the origin, the duration, or even the conditions of love. The eternal truth of "Life" is the state of Buddha, which is undifferentiated life, which is eternal and timeless. The mortal expression of the eternal state of Buddhahood can be said to be the life state of Love.

From this very simple precept, all other guidelines for life naturally follow. All manner of rules and laws of all sacred and secular texts precipitate from this fundamental truth of eternal love, fore love demands honesty, trust, dignity, protection, commitment and faithfulness without need of adjudications. Any law or commandment that does not precipitate or find root in the eternal truth of Love is untenable and counter to life.

And this is also true in death. Since life and love are eternal, like the two sides of a coin, death can be understood as a mere transition from love to life. There is no less life in death than there is life in love. Love allows us to experience eternal being as mortals, and Life allows us to experience eternal life in death. To embrace both is to approach Buddha. To comprehend and maintain this life state requires practice and dedication with Love, to achieve the Buddha mind in our present mortal form. This is the goal of the practice of Quantum Life.

BACKGROUND

In an ongoing effort to relate his teachings and insights to everyday life, this treatise takes on the scientific and neo-religious communities acceptance and adherence to theories of creation starting from the physical universe. All these theories do not account for the formation of the universe itself and limit themselves to the creation of the universe from 2000 to 4000 BCE and even scientifically to 40,000,000 BCE, but none account for the creation of creation, or the beginning and end of what the Quantum Life would term the "circle" of life.
