Zero Point Teachings

Table of Contents

The zero point teachings are a portal of some sort and I invite you to consider an alternative view of the nature and structure of reality--to view the world in a magical and mystical way.  The basic concept is that all living beings, including you, have a zero point centre within connected to the higher dimensional physics of the heart.  This is the means by which “the Gods and other invisible powers clothe themselves in bodies”—as explained by mystic scholar Madame Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine (1888). Just as the scientists now conceive that our huge universe grew from an infinitesimal singularity out of the quantum vacuum, so also, I am suggesting that you also have such a hidden zero point or singularity source condition--a singular I within the Heart.  Further, we ourselves emerge “out of nothingness” in some mysterious way unknown to modern science and contemporary understanding, but consistent with modern views of the physics of the quantum vacuum, as void and plenum, filled with light and zero point fields. 

In this original and provocative series on mysticism and science, Christopher P. Holmes explores the enigmas of human consciousness, the mysteries of the human heart & the interface between ancient metaphysics and modern physics.

Commentary on The Heart Doctrine

"My mission is to help uncover the forgotten, deep heart teachings of Jesus. ...  The information you have gathered on the zero point has been a powerful validation of my own inner meditation practice and intuitions. Hence it has greatly enhanced my faith and the effectivenss of my meditation. Thank you so very much for your labors." 

John Francis, author of The Mystic Way of Radiant Love: Alchemy for a New Creation. Heart Blossom Books, California, 1998

"...  if Christopher Holmes’ articulation of ‘the heart doctrine’ had been restricted to citing and commenting upon those awe-inspiring teachings, he would have accomplished a great deal by establishing the foundation of an alternative paradigm to that which dominates contemporary approaches to the study of consciousness.   However, when he introduces the mysterious concept of “the zero point,” his arguments take on a level of significance which is, in my opinion, unparalleled in modern consciousness research. ..."

Fall 2010 The Esoteric Quarterly, Review of The Heart Doctrine

Holmes’ insightful commentaries and inspired treatment of the mystical and esoteric literature found in the Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, Christian and Theosophical traditions, leads the reader into the enduring, universal currents of truth and beauty regarding life, the heart, consciousness, and the cosmos. His integrated overview of sacred teachings serves to illuminate their inner nexus and expose their deeper significances. Furthermore, the author demonstrates the value of esoteric and occult teachings in a profoundly new relationship to science. “Spiritual teachings,” as The Heart Doctrine states, “do not necessarily contradict the findings of science. They simply provide a new holistic way of interpreting the facts of science itself.” In comparing the unifying teachings on the heart and consciousness with the ground state or zero point of quantum physics, Christopher Holmes makes a central contribution to consciousness research—a contribution with practical applications for awakening the Soul or the Self.

God, Science & The Secret Doctrine

The Zero Point Metaphysics and Holographic Space of H. P. Blavatsky 

" ... 'material points without extension' (zero-points) are ... the materials out of which the 'Gods' 
and other invisible powers clothe themselves in bodies ...”  H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, 1888

6 hy 9 inch trade paperback format, 322 pages

     The central illusion of humankind is that we “know self.”  The components of this illusion concern the different powers or capabilities which men and women think that they possess, but which in reality they do not.  Three primary illusions or misunderstandings concern the human faculties of consciousness, the unity of I, and will (or the capacity to do).  The fourth way psychology begins with a study of humans as they are under the conditions of mechanical life, and then describes the psychology of a human’s possible evolution.  An individual can awaken and experience new states of consciousness, experience a unity of “I,” and attain real will.  Unfortunately, wrong ideas and convictions about the nature of consciousness, unity and will, are major obstacles to self knowledge.  If we can begin to understand these illusions, then there is a chance of escape from the sleepwalking state of humankind, and a chance of awakening and evolution.
    According to Beelzebub, the central character in Gurdjieff’s Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson, the three-brained beings on planet Earth are microcosmoses or “similitudes of the Whole.”  As such, they have the possibility of not only serving local cosmic purposes, feeding the earth and moon as part of organic life on earth, but also of experiencing sacred being-impulses, attaining varied levels of objective reason and individuality, and even of “blending again with the infinite.” (1950)  As a microcosm of the macrocosm, a human being can potentially coat higher being-bodies for the life of the soul, instinctually sense cosmic truths and phenomena, and maintain existence within the subtle realms of being after death–achieving different levels of immortality.  Unfortunately, humankind came to exist only in waking sleep states of automated consciousness, perceiving reality topsy-turvy, conditioned by pleasure and self love, and wasteful of their sacred sexual substances.  Human beings no longer realize their deeper cosmic purposes and possibilities, or attain real “I.”
    Psychological Illusions explores the psychology, metaphysics and cosmology of the fourth way teaching.  This includes material on the Ray of Creation, the fundamental cosmic laws, the alchemical crystallization of higher being-bodies for the life of the soul, and the miraculous possibilities existing for the evolution of the individual human being. The Gurdjieff fourth way teaching is a profound and coherent system of esoteric teaching about the horror of the situation for humanity asleep, living under their psychological illusions.

The Slugs provides an overview, explanation and interpretation of G. I. Gurdjieff’s masterpiece Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson, undoubtedly one of the most profound and mysterious books of the sacred literature in the modern world.  The framework of ideas, claims and objective science offers a fundamentally alternative view of the nature of life, the origins and history of the Solar System and humankind, the nature of the human psyche and psychopathology, and a science of the soul.  In the light of The Tales, most of modern thought and philosophy is so much ‘pouring-from-the-empty-into-the-void.’  The ‘sorry scientists’ of ‘new format’ have no conception of the great inscrutable mysteries of Nature and the subtle inner dimensions and alchemy of human beings.  Beelzebub’s Tales is a work not only of myth, allegory, history and fantasy, but about the secrets of ‘objective science’ and the psychology of the soul. 

Gurdjieff’s masterful Tales also provides a shocking portrait of the “strangeness of the human psyche” and explains how humans’ essential consciousness and the divine impulses of faith, hope and love, passed into the ‘subconsciousness,’ while a ‘false consciousness system’ replaced it, crystallized around their egoism and associated unbecoming being-impulses.   Beelzebub as a cosmic figure of higher reason observes the horrific “processes of reciprocal destruction,” or war as periodically occurs on Earth, and asks how such phenomenal depravities come about and why humans cannot eradicate such an arch-criminal particularity in their psyche.  The strange three-brained beings perceive reality "topsy-turvy," are mechanized to "see nothing real" and squander their sacred sexual substances solely for pleasure and their multiform vices. Beelzebub’s portrayal of the “Hasnamusses,” individuals who lack the Divine being-impulse of ‘conscience,’ the ‘intelligentsia’ and the ‘crats,’ provides vivid images of the psychopathology of the world’s so-called ‘elites’ with their special societies or "criminal gangs," their “international five o’clocks” and “Hasnamussian sciences.”   The future of humanity is bleak indeed without the guidance of a being of such a higher intelligence as Beelzebub himself.  The Slugs, like Gurdjieff's Tales, provides searing and illuminating insights into human psychopathology, the cause of war and the horror of it all. 

Human beings are potentially similitudes of the whole, particles of the Great Universe.  In this way, everything is some Divine Fraction—a law conformable portion of the whole.  Behind essence is real I, behind real I is God, or at least the Most Most Holy Sun Absolute.  The Slugs provides provocative tales about the principles of esoteric science and the meaning and purpose of it all—for living, breathing creatures who might attain a “real I.”

Book II of the Within-Without From Zero Points series
 

Microcosm-Macrocosm

  Scientific and Mystical Views on the Origin of the Universe,
the Nature of Matter  & Human Consciousness

“... all the so-called Forces of Nature, Electricity, Magnetism, light, heat, etc., are in esse, i.e., in their ultimate constitution, the differentiated aspects of that Universal Motion. ... for formative or creative purposes, the Great Law modifies its perpetual motion on seven invisible points within the area of the manifest Universe.”

 Madame H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, 1888 

MICROCOSM-MACROCOSM explores the mysteries of creation–of the Universe or Cosmos, according to both modern science and esoteric mystical teachings. Modern scientific concepts provide shocking support for ancient mystical teachings and claims--particularly The Secret Doctrine of H. P. Blavatsky (1888), and the wisdom teachings of the Kabbalah.  This work includes materials on the newest theories in physics–on superstrings, higher dimensions, vacuum genesis and zero point creation, and on ancient metaphysics–particularly The Secret Doctrineof H. P. Blavatsky (1888), the cosmology and metaphysics of G. I. Gurdjieff, Kabbalah and Vedanta. This is a challenging and provocative work with deep insights into the Divine Mystery teachings and a unique critique of modern science philosophy. It also provides a shocking view of the zero point origins of human consciousness and the deep roots of our being within the substrates of existence.
    This revised version features sections on the holographic principle in modern physics, information theory, and deeper studies of Kabbalah and esoteric Judaism. The text is now 247 pages with additional illustrations.
