Wave Nodes and Pockets


A lot of effort has been put forth throughout this web site to describe something that does not really exist. Being described as a theoretical model of existence, its purpose, throughout, has been to pour paint over an invisible man to see where he is. Throughout this web site, we are discussing existence as invisible lines of force that have no physical form. This web site gives those lines of force form... so that we can see them... in order to discuss them. But forever and ever... they have no real form.

Like sound waves moving through air we can't know the fundamental structure of existence, except through our various forms of perception. The preferred method is to build an understanding of this fundamental Wave Nodes Colorstructure in our mind... without any need for sight, sound, touch, smell or taste. But that's hard to do. Lots of spiritual philosophies attempt to point people to an understanding of this underlying structure using only words designed to suggestively hint to what they want us to know, without being too obvious about it. It is believed by many that the more obvious we are, the more we see the metaphorical paint we are pouring over our invisible man, and the less we see of the invisible. What we want is to see the unseeable; to visualize the invisible... without eyes of any kind - either physical or mental. We want to just "know" the theoretical parameters of existence without having to literally or even metaphorically see, hear, touch, smell or taste them.

However... at the same time... as subtle as these lines of force are, they also become manifest in very straightforward ways through everything around us, which ultimately makes our tangible expressions just as helpful to our understanding as any "knowing" that might occur without such metaphorical paint being poured over our invisible man. The theoretical model of existence being presented everywhere on this site represents invisible lines of force, which we are drawing with visible lines on a page - i.e. four circles and a point. Such a model of existence is so designed in order to be as unembellished as possible... so as to convey the very fundamental idea of: waves of cosmic energy at varying levels of intensity... which are arbitrarily sectioned off into four portions... with a center. Like a rainbow of visible light, which could also be partitioned into any number of defined colors, our theoretical model of existence chooses a select number of divisions to describe an infinitely divisible spectrum.

But... while any number of divisions could be made from one end of a spectrum to another, natural divisions can also occur by way of naturally occurring events that create lines and patterns by themselves. A prime example of this type of phenomenon is wave interference; where propagating waves in a medium either collide or intermingle in rhythmic ways, such that combined or crossing pockets of energy produce amplified nodes and anti-nodes that stand out from the entire spectrum. The theory behind our theoretical model of existence is that it describes just such an event - pockets of energy that are the result of wave interference patterns.

The source of the interference that creates the pattern used by our theoretical model of existence is the inward vs. outward path of energy taken by a universe that is coagulating upon a location of spacetime... as described within the book All Things Are Numbers elsewhere in this site. As Paradox yields to Nothingness, and Nothingness coagulates into Something a point is created. From that point Something radiates back out to the Nothingness that surrounds it. In this way we establish an inward and outward path of coagulation and emanation or Coagula et Solve.

Wave Nodes and Pockets

As pockets of energy that are created or defined by the rhythmic variations of universal flux, our theoretical model of existence exists. We humans then go about the task of trying to experience these lines of force in ways that will allow us to discuss them with each other. To do this we most often employ words and pictures. The theoretical model of existence being presented everywhere on this site starts with four circles and a point:

Four Circles

As waves of cosmic flux coagulate from the locationless location of The Absentia, upon a randomly selected point of spacetime, intensity increases (see Coagulation chapter in the book All Things Are Numbers elsewhere on this site). As a manifest entity takes shape it radiates waves of cosmic flux back into the void. As these opposing lines of inward and outward force collide and mix, they create wave nodes, and anti-nodes, which create the four circles and point of our theoretical model of existence. As these theoretical lines of force are theorized to exists as an unseen but vital underlying structure to every manifest entity we know, they are seen as pockets of energy that define and govern the very existence of our human form.

The idea of segmenting our existence into sections that have individual identities that can be discussed between minds can be seen in the idea of Chakras. Chakras are particular to a specific world culture, but are often utilized by others to describe how cosmic flux moves through a human body. In the world of Chakras there are usually seven. Seven is a popular number among those attempting to convey spiritually cosmic ideas, but it is not the only way. Some might disagree with that and claim that it is the only way, but I would not agree. This web site, and the book All Things Are Numbers, have given numerous reasons for segmenting cosmic flux into four circles and a point, in order to "see" the underlying lines of force that govern a manifest entity. With this in mind, I offer some visual embellishments on this page that we can use to give form and character to the various stages of our segmented model of existence. In addition, I offer my own suggestions as to which aspects of a human form are influenced by each segment - for those wanting to use the theoretical model of existence being presented everywhere on this site as a tool for healing.

Heal Thy Self

Below is a diagram mapping out the various segments of our theoretical model of existence and which aspects of human anatomy and bodily function might be regulated by each segment. Like a rainbow, there is some blending between segments as certain body parts or functions are seen as a cooperative byproduct of adjacent segments combining their influence. And like a rainbow, there is flow through from one end to the other.

Off to the side I have drawn some accompanying icons which can be used to visualize each segment, for purposes of meditation. Each icon resembles a flower with petals. As numbers become attached to our segments, each icon has as many petals as are appropriate for its number. The shape of each petal is then configured to express the other number associated with each segment. Thus... the stage of existence that we refer to with the equidistant numbers of 1 and 9 has nine one sided circles. The segment we associate with the equidistant numbers of 2 and 8 has eight two sided mandorlas. The segment we associate with the equidistant numbers of 3 and 7 has seven three sided triangles. While the segment we refer to with the equidistant numbers 4 and 6 has six four sided squares. Leaving the central point, which we refer to with the midpoint number of 5 to have five five sided pentagons to its form.


Wave Nodes
Pockets of energy created by waves of cosmic flux define the stages of our theoretical model of existence. Pockets of energy become focal points of concern for the health and wellbeing of any manifest entity. Above are some ornamental, highly embellished visuals for humans to use when attempting to concentrate or meditate on the health and wellbeing of any portion of this vital spectrum and how it influences the health and wellbeing of our tangible form. Each "flower" of this spectrum reflects the numerical qualities of each energy pocket; with nine one sided circles (1/9), eight two sided mandorlas (2/8), seven three sided triangles (3/7), six four sided squares (4/6) and five five sided pentagrams (5).

Below is another iteration of the Wave Node diagram showing how the segments of cosmic flux that are defined by inward and outward wave interference patterns can be used in mediation. In attempting to slow, calm and still the mind, each segment of our theoretical model of existence can be addressed in ways that are characteristic of the stage of existence they represent. The idea being that we don't want to just still the mind when meditating; we want to still or quiet every segment of our existence... as defined by these various stages of interference... each of which has its own character. So... we address each one in ways that correlate to their character. We tell the terminal 1/9 stage to rest and be still. We tell the inertia breaking 2/8 stage to relax and take a break from breaking inertia. We tell the expressive 3/7 stage to calm down and tap into the peaceful state it represents along the path of coagulation (as described in the Coagulation chapter in the book All Things Are Numbers elsewhere on this site). We then tell the 4/6 gripping coagulating mass to let go. Finally, as the 5 represents the point at which "in" changes into "out," we remind ourselves to breathe... here... now... in... and out.


Wave Nodes
Here is another version of Wave Nodes and Pockets. When people ask questions in a tarot reading they usually focus on common areas of human experience. They want to know about their love life. They want to know about their financial future. They want to know about their health. They want to know about their self - they want to know their own mind. These questions are common because they are generated by the character of these theoretically fundamental segments of being. Being Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise is fundamental. Being happy comes from the peaceful state of the 3/7 stage - illustrated in many tarot decks with the beautiful, kind, sympathetic and peaceful Empress (3) and the cool calm aplomb of the Chariot (7). Being healthy comes from the energetic state of the 2/8 stage - illustrated in many tarot decks with the inspirational La Papessa or motivational High Priestess or Shekinah (2) and the virtue of Strength (8). The idea of wealth comes from the 4/6 stage of existence - illustrated in many tarot decks with the very wealthy Emperor (4) and Lovers (6). While the idea of mastering all of these comes from the central 5 - illustrated in many tarot decks with the law-giving, controlling Pope or Hierophant.

In the diagram above, segments of cosmic flux are being illustrated with straight lines inside circles. As with the flower icons of the previous diagram, these line segment icons combine the equidistant numbers associated with each stage of existence to create a representative pattern that we can utilize when meditating on each segment of manifestation. Thus, the stage of existence we associate with the equidistant numbers of 1 and 9 is divided into nine segments with one line in each segment. While the stage of existence we associate with the equidistant numbers of 2 and 8 is divided into eight segments with two lines in each segment. The stage of existence we associate with the equidistant numbers of 3 and 7 is then divided into seven segments with three lines in each segment. While the stage of existence we associate with the equidistant numbers of 4 and 6 is divided into six segments with four lines in each segment. Leaving the central stage of existence that we associate with the number 5 to be divided into five segments with five lines in each segment.

This sequence of patterns is particularly illustrative, because of how busy or complex the icon for the the 5 is, compared to the relative simplicity of the 1/9 icon. Along the way, the reduction of internal lines creates a kind of fading away of complexity, which - in the eyes of those who have studied the ideas being presented everywhere on this site and in the book All Things Are Numbers - comes to represent the fading of diminishing returns that occurs as the intensity of coagulation dissolves back into the nothingness from which it came. This idea of fading intensity is not as apparent in the flower icons.

At the center of both the flower icons and the line segment icons we see symbols that come from yet another illustration of our theoretical model of existence, seen elsewhere on this site - the Funnel, Tunnel and Maze diagram... which is used in conjunction with The Cosmic Engine to describe the path of cosmic energy into and out of a manifest entity (see The Cosmic Engine elsewhere on this site and within the book All Things Are Numbers). Together, these three visual aids should give us plenty to use when contemplating and discussing these theoretical stages of existence that are otherwise invisible as lines of cosmic force.
