Cracking the Cosmic Code, Part 1

In this informal series I will consider the all-important subject of “Cracking the Cosmic Code” – meaning demystifying and transcending the cosmic domain (multi-dimensional manifest existence) in the context of realizing (or awakening to and coinciding with) the unmanifest Di-“vine” Domain (Infinite Being, or Consciousness-Spirit), wherein Consciousness (or timeless Awareness) is one “vine” of the Divine Domain, or Infinite Being, and Spirit (or spaceless Clear-Light Energy) is the other.

I will consider this subject through the five essential “portals,” or branches, of classical philosophy – metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and esthetics. In this first Part of the series, my focus will be on metaphysics (including ontical, or radical-spiritual, metaphysics).

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies existence. Mundane metaphysics limits existence to the universe of manifest existents; transcendental metaphysics, on the other hand, rightly understands that all existents are derivatives of a single transcendental and Divine Existent, or Being, which is hyper-cosmic, or infinite (meaning existing outside of, or beyond, creation and space-time).

Understanding that a single Divine Being, or Existent, is the very Ground or Substratum of all existents (from the subatomic to the galactic) is a rudimentary realization (though one seemingly beyond the capacity of spiritually contracted atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, and Sam Harris). What is an advanced (and exceedingly difficult) realization is that of ontically, or yogically, coinciding with the Divine Being. And only the rarest of humans is able to permanently coincide with (and conduct/radiate the Light-Energy of) the Divine Being.

The radical (or gone-to-the-root) Method of coinciding with the Divine Being is simple in theory, but oh so difficult in practice. In practice, one must be able to assume the asana of being directly, immediately, unobstructedly present to (and through) all that appears and arises in one’s field of awareness. When one’s consciousness (or soul) cuts through all appearances (gross and subtle), it encounters the Causal Dimension of Reality – pure Spirit: Divine Power, or Clear-Light-energy. This Dimension, or “Body,” or Hypostasis, is called Shakti in Hinduism, the Holy Spirit in Christianity, and the Sambhogakaya in Buddhism. When one’s individual consciousness (or soul) coincides (or unites) with this universal Spirit (or Divine Power, or Clear-Light-Energy), then, spontaneously this alchemical union, “produces” or unveils, the Divine Being as one’s fundamental, and irreducible, True Condition, or Nature.

The Divine Being is the Divine Domain – and when a yogi attains ontic union with It, he has metaphysically (or spiritually) “cracked the cosmic code” by transcending (and escaping the clutches of) the cosmic (or phenomenal and, conditional) domain, a.k.a. the Matrix.

In Part 2, I will consider the “Cracking the Cosmic Code” relative to the philosophic “portal,” or branch, of epistemology.
