Vibration Station Conversation – The Geometry Code Book: Chapter 5: Correspondence

Sunday, 28 February 2016 by Bruce Rawles

In this audio recording, Dave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett), and Bruce Rawles talk about “Correspondence: 2nd of the 7 Hermetic Laws” which is Chapter 5 from the book The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation on Sunday, 28 February 2016, on his LA Talk Radio show.

These excerpts from Chapter 5 pertain to our conversation and center on relationship, relatedness and quantum entanglement as being primary:

“”As above, so below; as below, so above.” – The Kybalion

“What do you forgive? Well, it’s simple. Whatever comes up in front of your face on any given day, that’s what you’re supposed to forgive. It’s not a mystery; it’s always right there in front of you. You may think you can’t see what’s in your unconscious mind; well, you don’t have to. All you have to see is the symbolic representation of it that is being pre- sented to you right now … symbolic of that which already ex- ists in your own unconscious mind. As you forgive that, you’re REALLY forgiving yourself.”
– Gary Renard, “The End of Reincarnation”

… and another related quote that appears in the 5th Chapter that was part of our conversation:

“Love is a cohesive force that holds things in relatedness, so by seeing relationships you are participating in the love activ- ity of the universe.”
– Viola Petitt Neal, PhD & Shafica Karagulla, M.D., Through the Curtain

Vibration Station Conversation – The Geometry Code Book: Chapter 4: Mentalism

Sunday, 20 December 2015 by Bruce Rawles

Dave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett), his radio colleague Avi and I shared this conversation about “Mentalism: 1st of the 7 Hermetic Laws” which is Chapter 4 from the book The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation on Sunday, 20 December 2015, on his LA Talk Radio show.

Here are a few excerpts from Chapter 4 that related to our conversation:

“THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental.” – The Kybalion

“Everything you perceive is a witness to the thought system you want to be true.”…

“Your unconscious belief system is held in place by not look- ing at it. The thought system of fear, which has been denied and projected outwards, must be closely examined in your life if you are to be free of it. The solution to the problems of the world and its relationships will never be found at the level of the interaction between individual bodies.”
– Arten, in Disappearance of the Universe, by Gary Renard

… and another favorite quote that appears in the 4th Chapter that relates to our conversation about mind, even though we didn’t read this one during the show:

“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, ʻUni- verse,ʼ a part limited in time and space. He experiences him- self, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living crea- tures and the whole of nature in its beauty. No body is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achieve- ment is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.”
– Albert Einstein

Vibration Station Conversation – The Geometry Code Book: Chapter 3: Seven Hermetic Laws

Tuesday, 17 November 2015 by Bruce Rawles

Dave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett) and I shared this conversation about “7 Hermetic Laws, 2 Thought Systems” which is Chapter 3 from the book The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation on 15 November 2015, on his LA Talk Radio show.

Here is an excerpt (the first two sections) from Chapter 3 that served as a springboard for our conversation:

Seven Changeless Laws About Change
Universal laws or principles, known from ancient times, have long been revered by those seeking to find the unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable truth underlying all form and expression. Ultimately, we all seek the dependable, reliable and consistent: something we can honestly trust. Eventually we give up on trying to make our faulty inferences work from isolated, special cases (our lives on planet Earth) and the distortions of perception – we come to the realization that we must find rules that are always true and generalize if we want a happy solution to the dysfunctional practice of taking our personal interpretations seriously. If we base our choices on an ever-shifting landscape founded on differing opinions and values, how can we get our true bearings? If we attempt to judge from a world that not only changes with time and space but from person to person, and culture to culture, isn’t the very basis are we using flawed? It’s all pretty silly to rely on circumstances, conditions and ephemeral events that morph and vary with the whimsy of fate and the biases of our tiny human perspectives. But, one asks, what else do we have to go on? Upon what else can we rely? What cues for guiding our lives do work? It’s obviously helpful to find laws or principles that do not change. Otherwise we just have to keep starting over and over again, relearning every time the temporary guide changes, never certain, secure or serene about where we’re placing our trust.
Identifying With What Never Changes
There are seven Hermetic laws or principles that have been known since antiquity, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus of pre-dynastic Egypt. These laws work all the time, in every situation, regardless of one’s circumstances, geography, status, demographics or any other factors. They apply universally. These seven laws also have completely different meanings, interpretations and outcomes depending on which thought system or internal teacher we use to apply them with. Learning about laws is only truly helpful if we have a purpose intended for our liberation – a reason for applying the laws. As we become aware that we are never exempt from universal laws, we realize that our freedom waits for us to unlock the code and practice these laws with intelligent, thoughtful application. As we discover, the only truly helpful way to apply them is to apply them with the assistance of our ever-present, transpersonal inner guide; this helps us strengthen our identification with what never changes. Otherwise, we’re back to identifying with the changing, fluctuating, vacillating tides of fate, fancy and fantasy. Identifying our Self with what is eternal anchors our awareness in truth rather than what inevitably disappoints, decays and dies.

This interview is part of an ongoing series where we discuss one chapter (about one per month) from The Geometry Code book until we’ve gone through all 10 chapters, including the 7 Hermetic Laws from the Kybalion and related geometric symbols.

Vibration Station Conversation – The Geometry Code Book: Chapter 2

Thursday, 15 October 2015 by Bruce Rawles

Dave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett) and I shared this conversation about “Take Home Lessons from Modern Physics” which is Chapter 2 from the book The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation on 11 October 2015, on his LA Talk Radio show.

We talked – among MANY other things – about specific topics that shook the scientific worldview several decades ago such as the Copenhagen Interpretation of the wave/particle duality, and subsequent discoveries such as quantum entanglement, and how these continue to affirm the idea that mind was no longer the ‘ghost in the machine’ after quantum physics became the superset of scientific thinking after the era of Newtonian physics that now incorporated (inclusively) both the mechanical and mental paradigms.

Vibration Station Conversation – The Geometry Code Book: Chapter 1

Dave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett) and I shared this conversation about “The Question of Identity: Two Thought Systems” which is Chapter 1 from the book The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation on 23 August 2015, on his LA Talk Radio show.

We talked about how examining the contents of our mind reveals two mutually exclusive thought systems: the kind, all-inclusive, 100% sane transpersonal thought system that make use of all symbols (including geometric ones) for the benefit of all … and the 100% insane ‘me first’ we/they personal thought system of ego, which denies shared interests in favor of special, separate interests.

(3) Request for Submissions

As always, please let me know how I might support you. Please send me any interesting items about sacred geometry or related interests … since everything is inter-related!If you would like to stay connected and network with kindred souls online, check out my pages on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn. I always enjoy connecting with both recent and long-time friends and colleagues and discovering new friends of friends :-)Thanks for your interest & support! :-) BTW, I always appreciate enthusiastic reviews on the Amazon SGDS book page, and the newer Amazon book page for The Geometry Code. It’s a good “win-win” way to cross-promote your work as well.

If you like to color with colored pencils (or other media), make 3-D fold-up geometric art, do stained glass, quilts, geometric arts and/or crafts, or just want an extensive reference/resource of geometric archetypes, patterns and essential line art, you might enjoy a copy of my first book, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook: Universal Dimensional Patterns.

If your leanings are more metaphysical … and perhaps whimsical :-) … you might enjoy my second book, The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation. It was originally going to have geometry and Hermetic Laws/symbolism as a primary focus, but in 2007, a reawakened interest in the spiritual masterpiece, A Course In Miracles – thanks to Gary Renard – shifted the primary emphasis to an exploration of the two thought fundamental systems we all vacillate between, and how we can gradually shift our mind’s identity to the happy one.
