Global Consciousness Activators Network

We have started a new social network of individuals who want to work together to activate global consciousness into a higher vibrational frequency.  It is called the Global Consciousness Activators Network.  Right now we are using Facebook Groups as our platform to build upon.  This could grow into other areas in the future, but for now this will be a sufficient place to begin.  Here is the description and mission of this social network:

The Global Consciousness Activators Network is a loosely organized group of individuals dedicated to activating global consciousness into a higher vibrational frequency. The goal is to accelerate the shift into a dynamic global cooperating humanity that realizes that we are both collectively one and individually unique. The intention of forming this group is to gather together those individuals who are already working in their own way to seed global consciousness by spreading provoking thoughts, inspiring words and images, and healing energies and vibrations.

We come together to amplify our efforts and set an example for others who feel the call to begin activating their own higher consciousness so they may in turn activate others in new and creative ways.

Those who participate will generally use tools such as Facebook pages and groups, Youtube channels and webinars, blogs, podcasts and radio shows, Amazon reviews, or other social networking tools. There are no rules, except that whatever we say, express, or create, must come from a place of unconditional love for all beings. Each individual will be naturally draw to create activations for what interests them, and would originate from the higher systems they have activated within themselves. The common bond between the members is a dedication to activate as many people who are ready to move into a new reality of peace and love and unity.

This group will be used as a forum to share experiences and give feedback for our creative efforts. This will help in fine-tuning our activations for what we are best at, to leave certain tasks to others who may be more experienced or have achieved a higher level of activation themselves, or for those who are working towards similar activation goals to team up and find each other.

If you are interested in contributing to these efforts or would like to learn from others as an example, please join our Facebook group:

In the group I have posted what I forsee as frequently asked questions, and went ahead and answered them.  Since that information may be old on the page, I will repost here for those reading this blog who may want answers to these questions.

What does it mean to create an 'activation'?

It means expressing your unique truth for how you feel connected to the oneness of life. By creating a way for inspired messages to be delivered to global consciousness through images and sounds, actions and movements, you will activate that awareness of unity in others. The thing that must be cautioned is trying to blame others for some problem or issue. Expressing anger and frustration about global problems is not allowed, since this leads to separation and fights. That is why the only rule is that whatever you say, express, or create must come from a place of unconditional love for all beings. Only in this way do we work towards the goals of activating global consciousness into a higher vibrational frequency.


What are some examples of creating activations?

It could be as simple as quoting inspiring authors and posting those on your profile or blog. It could be as elaborate as creating documentary films. The avenues I have been exploring are writing blog posts and recording educational videos for Youtube. As long as it has been structured to activate thoughts, feelings, and actions of raising consciousness in a loving way, it will be considered an activation. I will try to use my own examples to set the tone. Although my activations are focused into specific themes and awarenesses, it should not be thought of as covering even a small proportion of what I imagine as possible.


What gets 'activated' in an activation?

Specifically, what gets activated are parts of the human brain. This is the primary focus, to register higher frequencies into certain brain regions to open them up, generating expansiveness and not contraction. What we have been given through media and cultural programming has shut down these brain regions, causing contraction and an impossibility to utilize full potential. The goals of an activator are to realize where they have personally transcended cultural programming by activating their own higher consciousness, and then in turn find ways of opening up others, too.

Let me explain the regions of the brain that are activated by different sensory stimulation:

Thoughts, Ideas, Statements - Frontal Lobe
Sounds, Images, Music - Parietal, Occipital, and Temporal Lobes
Emotions, Feelings - Limbic System
Actions, Motions, Movements - Cerebellum
Health, Nutrition, Stories - Hypothalamus
Blessings, Divine Unity, Feeling of Self as Other - Pineal Gland


---------------------------------------------

Here is an example of a very simple activation.

See how easy it is? I had been posting quotations from Proclus on my wall, in groups, and in my blogs, but realized that I was only activating people's frontal lobe with the thoughts and ideas. It is always better to activate multiple brain regions. By including the image of a whirling galaxy, it opens up the occipital lobe in synchronicity with the frontal lobe.

Other areas are likely to be activated as a result, for example, the image could have an emotional effect, thereby activating the limbic system as well. Or it could trigger storyline about human origins and destiny, linking up with the hypothalamus. But those are not the focus of the activation, but would be dependent on a person's individual reactions. The two areas that are definitely activated are the frontal lobe and occipital lobe, so we would say that this is an example of an activation for those, but it's not specifically intended to activate the limbic system or the hypothalamus or other areas.

Article - The Lost Works of Proclus

I have just written a lengthy article for my blog Academy of Neoplatonism on the topic of the lost works of Proclus.  It is wholly speculative but supremely interesting considering that the problem of what happened to Proclus' 13 lost works, at the least count, has not been dealt with by scholars .  My conjecture is that these works were actually lost in an accidental fire of Proclus' home.  There is some weight to this thesis, considering the unusual occurrence of the Tria Opuscula, Proclus' three minor works that deal with the problems of providence, fate and evil.  You will find out much more by reading the full article here:

The Lost Works of Proclus

On Giving and Receiving

You have never paid for anything. Everything you have received has been a gift. Everything is free. You can have whatever you want and will always get it.

But there is always a limit to what you can get right now. You cannot have it all at once.

In that sense, nothing is free. There are no gifts, everything has its price. You have to work for it if you want it. You can only get what you are fit to receive. But still there is no real cost to anything. Even the power to do work is a bestowal from above.

Do not be thankful to a higher source for what you have. It is rather that the one who gives is the one who receives. It gives thanks to itself for what it bestows upon itself. It gives itself exactly what it needs exactly when it needs it. And you exist because of that need.

Do not be thankful. Be greedy by giving yourself to yourself. And thank yourself when you pay yourself, for the cost is great, but the gift is free.

-- Stephen Anthony Orzel

Video - Geometric Theurgy 01 - Creation by Numbers

This video will begin the series on Geometric Theurgy by looking at a story of creation by numbers.  We will develop the symbolic meanings of numbers and explain why these meanings go with the numbers.  This is a profound exegesis on the Pythagorean tetraktys.  Learn how you are part of God's unfoldment of self-knowledge.  Once this is understood, you will be well prepared to begin practicing the highest form of theurgy-- creating your own universe.

Stewart Shapiro on Ontological Realism in Mathematics

I've decided to start posting interesting quotations from the books I read here on this blog, and even if the content may be more relevant to my other blogs, I will keep the brief quotations here and keep the articles and other content in the topic blogs.

I am reading Stewart Shapiro's book Thinking About Mathematics (2000 Oxford University Press) and in the second chapter he discusses the ontological theories of mathematical objects.  That is, are mathematical objects such as numbers, points, lines, and sets real in the sense that they exist independently of any mathematicians?  This is certainly my worldview, the alternative being that mathematical objects are not really real but are made up by mathematicians-- that if there were no mathematicians, there would be no mathematical objects.  The first view is called realism, while the second is called idealism.  This is not the space to discourse about the merits of either view, but I think it really depends on your worldview and your belief structure.  The realist worldview is what comes out of Plato's teachings, and that is what excited me the most.

Plato the realist, point up to the World of mathematical Forms.
Aristotle the idealist, pointing outward to the phyiscal world of Matter.

Here is what Shapiro says on p. 27:

The scientific literature contains no reference to the location of numbers or to their causal efficacy in natural phenomenon or to how one could go about creating or destroying a number.  There is no mention of experiments to detect the presence of numbers or determine their mathematical properties.  Such talk would be patently absurd.  Realism in ontology is sometimes called 'Platonism', because Plato's Forms are acausal, eternal, indestructible, and not part of space-time.

This of course opens the door to many questions, such as how do science and mathematics differ, and what can be said about how theoretical physics differs from experimental physics?  Is theoretical physics just a branch of mathematics?  If so, how does its application lead to experimental results?  What is the relation between the Platonic world of Forms and the physical world of matter?

Video - Ancient Philosophy of Mathematics 07 - The One, Limit, and Unlimited in Geometry

I have added another video to the video series Ancient Philosophy of Mathematics.  This is part seven, titled The One, Limit and Unlimited in Geometry.  We will explore the metaphysics of geometry through The One, Limit and Unlimited.  We will show how geometric constructions correspond to these first principles, with the point symbolizing The One, the circle symbolizing the Limit, and the line symbolizing the Unlimited. We give a basic description of the practice of geometric theurgy, a form of meditation that requires using body movement, thereby grounding the highest metaphysical principles down into the lowest level.  We read from Plato's Philebus and Proclus' Elements of Theology and Commentary on Euclid's Elements.  This video is the foundation for the next series of videos on geometric theurgy.

Book Review - Proclus: An Introduction by Radek Chlup

Cambridge University Press recently released a new volume titled "Proclus: An Introduction" by Radek Chlup.  The book is an extremely valuable addition to the literature on Proclus and is a brilliant introduction to Proclus' philosophy.  I have written an extensive review of this text over on the Academy of Neoplatonism blog.  Please read the review with the following link.  If you want to purchase please use the link to Amazon below.
