Notes for Book 3 (#11)

The Heart Plane

There are quite a few biblical references to hearts of humans being connected in some way together.

One of the most obvious and direct verses is Psalm 33:15. From the Hebrew, it is read like: "The fashioning together of their hearts, the discernment towards all of their doings." The word YeKheD there is used in many other verses to mean "together".

Another possible older reference to human hearts being associated together, is in Genesis 6:5. This refers to the situation on earth that was before the great flood wherefrom Noah was saved. The verse notes that human activity was very bad then, and their thoughts were evil often. It mentions where those thoughts were - in a heart. However, the Hebrew word was: "his heart", which is a singular heart. And obviously the Hebrew language had the ability to express plural hearts, as was the case in Psalms 33:15. But the word in Genesis 6:5 denotes a singular heart for the noun HeADeM, the human (perhaps a reference to a formal human subbody).

A reference in the Gospels: Mark 7:21. Christ was speaking about uncleanness coming from evil that goes out from a man. He explained that evil thoughts come out of a heart. Yet, a phrase in the verse in the Ancient Greek translates as: "the heart ((singular)) of the humans ((plural))". Why would the word "heart" be singular if it was "of the humans" which were plural? Unless - the hearts of each of those humans were connected or associated to form a single heart, which I call a heart-plane.

One possible reason for this association of hearts is that since the Deity sees all activities of each person's heart, all those knowledges are combined in His knowledge, which associates them.

I call it a plane. A coordinate system of 3 axises (xyz) may have three planes, each of which has a 2-D plane to travel, between points in x-y plane, y-z plane, and x-z plane. So, if you think of hearts as being 3D regions in which 3D thoughts (with their xyz points) may occur, and even 4D with time, then you may add another axis or plane that connects those regions, each like nodes in which or where thoughts occur. So this heart plane would be like a line or 2D plane (or elsewise) that connects the hearts that way, which makes them all like a larger structure. Like a system of telephones that is made of many telephones inter-connected.

This is important for many reasons. One is that this would be supportive of the possibility of telepathy - and to some extent, extra sensory perception. If the means of generating (audible) thoughts is in, of, or by the heart (out of the heart, the mouth speaks; Matthew 15:18), then connection of each person's heart together, may allow for thoughts (or at least proto-thoughts related to other-conscious activity or inactivity of animalians) to effectively move across that connected space or heart-plane.

Chapter 6 - LWC Book 3 - The Fifth Jhana

This starts out after the previous Jhana . The Fifth Jh āna ( ākāsānañcāyatana ): "And at this point it is said: With the complete surmounting of perceptions of matter, with the disappearance of perceptions of resistance, with non-attention to perceptions of variety, [aware of] ‘unbounded space,’ he enters upon and dwells in the base consisting of boundless [infinite] space." The fifth Jhana was described in this way by Buddhist scriptures by meditators much later than the Buddha. So, while I take objection with the exact quote above, the core idea is the same. You will see what I mean. Anyway, in my theory, the Fifth Jhāna involves: Opening the doors between alternate spaces ( tank!s ). Dividing pressures and focus between momentary spaces practiced from the previous Jhana , are used to stack onto each other sort of like Lego blocks in space (with a main space as a reference). This allows the meditator to stack spaces to make a large composite space that s...

Chapter 4 - LWC Book 3 - The Jhanas 1 to 3

If you've meditated, you've probably have heard about the Jhānas. They are unique mental states of consciousness. They are described in old Buddhist scriptures. In the Sanskrit, they are called dhyāna . And for LWC theory, I interpret each Jhana uniquely. Notes for the interested: Buddha’s teachings on the jhānas appear in the Majjhima Nikāya (e.g., MN 8, MN 111, MN 119), Dīgha Nikāya , and others. The Visuddhimagga, by Buddhaghosa (5th century CE), gives a systematic explanation, and adds technical elaboration. ⚠️ Note on the Use of Jhanas in LWC Theory While LWC Theory uses the terms “Jhana” and “Jhanic Masses,” it does not pursue the same goal as classical Buddhist meditation systems. In Buddhism, the Jhanas are progressively used to dissolve the ego and reach a state of no-self , especially by the 7th and 8th Jhanas, where entitial identity is vaporized through full opening of all internal and external doors. LWC Theory differs. The goal is not egolessness , ...

Chapter 5 - LWC Book 3 - The Fourth Jhana

-This chapter is a continuation from Chapter 4. You can find more about the first 3 Jhanas there .- The Fourth Jhāna ( catuttha-jhāna ): "With the abandoning of pleasure and pain, and with the previous disappearance of joy and grief, a bhikkhu enters upon and abides in the fourth jhāna, which has neither-pain-nor-pleasure and purity of mindfulness due to equanimity." In my theory, the Fourth Jhāna involves: Opening the doors between moments. Mixing focus between the moments by opening the doors between them. During some meditative states, and especially in the first 3 Jhanas, time is not really a factor. It is hard to tell if a second has passed, an hour, or a day - because the emphasis is not really on any physical reference. It is like meditating in one big long moment. In the visual terms of the previous chapters, Jhāna 1, 2, and 3 are in the big long rectangular shape without significant internal or external borders. Non-meditation...
