The Reproductive Process In Samsāra
 
The process of sexual procreation begins with the aggregation of sperm and eggs that are electrically neutral structures with an equal quantity of positive and negative charges.  During fertilisation, sperm are temperature-controlled as they pass through most of the fallopian tube and navigate by tuning the chemical call of the egg as it nears the fertilisation site.  When a sperm merges with an egg to form a zygote, it would lead to energy being absorbed inside the egg structure.  This means that the electron bound to an atom of the egg absorbs the right amount of energy, primarily from the potential (stored) energy of the sperm.
 
Thereafter, the energy absorbed would exceed the electric potential barrier that initially held it, breaking the connection and releasing it to move.  The electron is then released like a free electron of the zygote structure.  When an atom loses an electron, it turns into a charged particle called an ion that will then take or release an electron to restore equilibrium.  This means that an embryo is a newly formed being with positively charged ions and continues to attract surrounding negative ions to enhance the metabolism of cell membranes, accelerating the mitosis process and the delivery of oxygen to inner cells and tissues. 
 
Gradually, it would grow into an embryo only with the presence of compatible negative and positive ions, and subtle mental consciousnesses acting as catalysts.  At the same time, mental and sensory consciousness would be formed through a sustained energy-producing fusion reaction in the embryo.  The embryo would then continue to grow to become a fetus, as would the development of the nervous system, which is a system dependent on the electric impulse that requires the existence of imbalanced ion particles.  In the meantime, the emerging mind and body are analogous to the fire's origin.
 
From an article pulled from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, the origin of the fire is described as follows: -
“Fires start when a flammable and/or combustible material, in combination with a sufficient quantity of an oxidizer such as oxygen gas or another oxygen-rich compound (though non-oxygen oxidizers exist that can replace oxygen), is exposed to a source of heat or ambient temperature above the flashpoint for the fuel/oxidizer mix and is able to sustain a rate of rapid oxidation that produces a chain reaction.  This is commonly called the fire tetrahedron.  Fire cannot exist without all these elements in place and in the right proportions.  For example, a flammable liquid will start burning only if the fuel and oxygen are in the right proportions.  Some fuel-oxygen mixes may require a catalyst, a substance that is not directly involved in any chemical reaction during combustion, but which enables the reactants to combust more readily.  Once ignited, a chain reaction must take place whereby fires can sustain their own heat by the further release of heat energy in the process of combustion and may propagate, provided there is a continuous supply of an oxidizer and fuel.”
 
The comparison referred to can be illustrated below: -
 
Combustion                         -->   Sparkling process
Fire                                      -->   Sentient being
Flame                                  -->   Dominant mental consciousness
Fuel/combustible material   -->   Sentient body
Oxidiser                               -->   Oxygen intake
Heat                                    -->   Subtle mental consciousness
Chain reaction                    -->    Electrochemical impulse/transmission
Catalyst                               -->   Free-flow subtle mental consciousness 
 
The applicable principle: when the flame goes out, the chain reaction stops, and the fire vanishes.  However, the ambient temperature (heat) remains temporary, but below the flashpoint for the fuel/oxidiser mix and waiting for all the right elements in place and in the right proportions.  Similarly, when a sentient being is passed, the dominant mental consciousness and electrochemical impulse/transmission would die out.  Yet the subtle-mental consciousness would remain temporarily before participating in the next process of becoming.  It remains an important part of the ongoing process of birth, life, death, and rebirth known as samsāra (dependent nature).  There is a range of fluctuating activities which, in turn, give rise to conventional phenomena, as described below (the cycle of Dependent Origination): -
 
Equanimity (E0) leads to stability.  Stability leads to aggregation.  Aggregation leads to agitation.  Agitation leads to information.  Information leads to knowledge.  Knowledge leads to representation.  Representation leads to memory.  Memory leads to compulsion.  Compulsion leads to ignorance.  Ignorance leads to blindness.  Blindness leads to disorientation.  Disorientation leads to confusion.  Confusion leads to irrationality.  Irrationality leads to impulse.  Impulse leads to sparkling.  Sparkling leads to inkling.  Inkling leads to volition.  Volition leads to awareness.  Awareness leads to consciousness.  Consciousness leads to manas.  Manas leads to mind and body.  Mind and body lead to sensation.  Sensation leads to six sense bases.  Six sense bases lead to conductivity.  Conductivity leads to contact.  Contact leads to stimulation.  Stimulation leads to feeling.  Feeling leads to experience.  Experience leads to craving.  Craving leads to grasping.  Grasping leads to clinging.  Clinging leads to unsettling.  Unsettling leads to becoming.  Becoming leads to creation.  Creation leads to birth.  Birth leads to energising.  Energising leads to mobility.  Mobility leads to hauling.  Hauling leads to aging.  Aging leads to draining.  Draining leads to death.  Death leads to fragility.  Fragility leads to segregation.  Segregation leads to diffusion.  Diffusion leads to discomposure.  Discomposure leads to adjustment.  Adjustment leads to alignment.  Alignment leads to Equanimity (E1).

Ion Drives The World
 
An ion is an atom or molecule charged as a result of the imbalanced number of electrons and the number of protons in the atom or molecule.  One atom may become a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons within an atom is greater or smaller than the number of protons within the atom.  Also, ion concentrations may vary over short distances, namely that one end of a room may be found to have an excess of positive ions and the other end negative.
 
In essence, positive ions adversely affect humans and animals.  Some of the side effects caused by high positive ion counts are violent behaviour, depression, lethargy, respiratory symptoms, migraines, etc.  On the contrary, negative ions benefit humans and animals.  There is scientific evidence that a large number of negative ions will reduce fatigue, strengthen the function of autonomic nerves, strengthen the body’s immune system, improve metabolism, lower blood pressure, etc. 
 
On a different front, the defined proportion of ions in the atmosphere is directly related to the manifestation of spirits in the human domain.  Positive ions can affect human thought or behaviour with negative elements such as bad will, agitation, pessimism, etc.  For example, common areas such as windowless and closed rooms, abandoned houses, hospitals, factories, and old buildings - derelict and overgrown states have become an ideal gateway for wandering spirits into the human world.
 
Furthermore, any spirit close to our physical body could cause severe headaches, nausea, and unexpected lethargy - an obvious indication of the high density of positive ions in the surrounding area.  Somehow, a human suffering from mental or physical illness would easily attract spirits due to more positive ions in the environment.   In the long run, the presence of high negative ions would bring many benefits to man.  And ion could be a determining factor in the mental and physical welfare of individuals.
 


The Process Of The New Creation In Samsāra
 
According to Chinese philosophy, everything is a combination of yin and yang.  Yin and yang are complementary but opposite forces that interact to form a greater whole than any separate part to produce a harmonised dynamic system.  The visual representation of this concept is well depicted in the Taijitu symbol loosely referred to as the yin-yang symbol.  Tai-ji signifies ultimate supreme that represents a perceptive reality of dependent nature, underlines many natural dualities like femininity and masculinity, darkness, and light, low and high, cold and hot, water and fire, life and death, expanding and contracting, etc.
 
When a quality reaches its peak, it naturally starts to turn into the opposite quality.  The union of the two brings forth things.  Yin and yang transform each other, like a current in the ocean, every advance is completed by a retreat, and every rise is transformed into a fall.  Generally, yin is related to water, the earth, the moon, femininity, night, etc.  It is characterised as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cool, humid, and passive.  Meanwhile, yang is related to fire, sky, sun, masculinity, day, etc.  It is characterised as fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and aggressive.  The conventional principle is: “Yin creates yang and yang activates yin”.
 
Based on the cycle of Dependent Origination, manas that unfold on a background of preliminary consciousness is an architect or designer that activates the creations of mind and body.  Mind and body are just two facets of the same thing.  Manas would vibrate within a unique frequency pattern: a wave of high and low vibrations.  This pattern of vibrations would eventually result in a conflation between mind and body.  The principle is that the lower the frequency, the slower the vibration, and vice versa.  A slower vibration would lead to body and sensory base formation and a faster vibration would lead to mental formation.
 
Collectively, it gives birth to a new life existence with a unique individuality that would not allow disruption by any external interference whatsoever; thus, it maintains its own identity.  That is, the mind and the body are present in everything created as an integrated whole.  Even an atom has a kind of uniqueness or individuality. The nucleus of the atom, around which the electrons vibrate in standing waves, makes up the individuality of the atom.  As a consequence, one atom distinguishes from another atom; just as one person is different from another person or as one thing is different from another thing. 
 
Moreover, it is the mind, the consciousness of individuality, that holds together atoms and molecules as a single body integrated into life.  Scientifically, atoms are maintained together by covalent chemical bonds, but their synergies will give birth to the dominant and subtle mental consciousness.  For general information, subtle mental consciousness can process and store information without much work or intervention by the dominant mental consciousness.  This means it could work with the lowest amount of power consumption 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, unlike the dominant mental consciousness that is bound with a biological clock.
 
At maturity, the mind and body would be subjected to a process of disintegration, with the dominant mental consciousness weakening and collapsing.  This event may lead to an impulsive event with a display of a final energy explosion in the phases of death (回光返照).  Thereafter, the segregation process would take place intensely with more subtle mental consciousness leaving the body.  At that time, subtle mental consciousness would retain in temporarily liberated forms before subscribing to the next process of becoming when the situation allows.  The infinite repetitions of birth, life, death, and rebirth in the realms of existence are called samsāra.
Birth & Rebirth    

Typically, most individuals were unable to remember each other’s past lives because of the assimilated heritage of the myriad of ancestral sources.  However, some people vividly remember their past life and the whole episode depends on the density of legacy elements as shown below: -

You Are Not Alone
 
Humans are regarded as one of the most favourable forms of existence out of the infinite possibilities in the cosmos.  Our physical body is a manifestation of consciousness, and the mind is the precursor to all things and matters.  To be able to discern, all observed objects or matters must be reflected in the group's consciousness traits.  This encompasses all the projections and reflections of the mental consciousness in question.  Let's take a look at the illustrations below:
[Image: vczBUc7.jpg]
Generally, consciousness is a synergy that can develop and penetrate simultaneously through all relevant planes of existence.  It is akin to an electrical impulse in our heart system whereby the electrical signal travels through the network of conducting cells or pathways that stimulate the upper chambers and the lower chambers to contract until the entire heart contracts in one coordinated motion.  This means that consciousness is pivotal to the prevalence of parallel existences in Mother Nature, such as the testimony of ghosts or spirits, as well as extraterrestrials by certain individuals.
 
All the various planes of existence are the final result of polarity in the traits of consciousness that orient in the fluctuating vibrational frequencies.  Just like the appearance of a music rhythm billboard, there are variations and conditioned relationships in consciousness among beings.   It is due to the memory aspects of the mind which serve as a precursor of the heritability of consciousness-bearing features.  Ultimately, the extent of the object’s frequency must be within the scope of the subject’s frequency horizon; without it, observation would not be possible.  Let's take a look at the illustrations below:

[Image: La6G2I3.jpg]

In the present dynamism, the mental consciousness is known as the perceiver, while the object or matter is known as perception. Essentially, it is the perceiver’s mind, as a non-physical faculty integrating into the five physical faculties, namely eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, that provides observation and interpretation; as a result, the emergence of conditional phenomena.  If the vibratory frequencies of the perceiver are lower than the perception, the cascading events are regarded as impossible.
 
The Realm Of Present Dynamism
 
All things would exist under the present dynamism simultaneously.  The projectile temporal movement discernible by our mental consciousness is purely due to relativity, because of the varying vibratory frequencies.  Consequently, we often instill the habit of building narratives from a series of linear events; thus, the creation of time-shifting delusions, according to the past, the present, and the future.  Generally speaking, conventional time is subjective-cum-relative, namely, it relies on the mind of the observer to feed the assessment on the other side of the object or matter.  In the end, the overall episode varies depending on the different observers or minds.  The applicable principle: -
 
Present dynamism  =  Frequency x Becoming (Space x Time)
 
In the present dynamism, a higher vibratory frequency would cause a process to become slower and vice versa.  For instance, in relative terms, the experience of a second in a heavenly plane with superior vibrational frequencies is equal to 10 years for the human domain with weaker vibrational frequencies.  In the same way as the gravitational effects on the earth for all the different masses are the same (acceleration value, g = 9.80 m/s2) although the rock hits the ground before the feather itself.  Let’s review the illustrations below: -
 
Plane Of Existence
1.  Plane X (1-hour)        2.  Plane Y (10-day)        3.  Plane Z (30-day)
 
Frequency Band
1.  Plane X  =  Extremely High Frequency (EHF); Range = 30 to 300 GHz,
2.  Plane Y  =  Ultra High Frequency (UHF); Range = 300 to 3,000 MHz,
3.  Plane Z  =  Very High Frequency (VHF); Range = 0 to 300 MHz.
 
Timeline (Process Of Becoming)
1 hour in Plane X  =  10 days in Plane Y  =  30 days in Plane Z
 
Note:  Comparatively, the clock would appear to be ticking faster in Plane Z than in both Plane Y and Plane X.  This is because a higher vibration frequency would cause a process to get slower.
 
Observation Of Events
1.  Individual X  -->  Plane X  =  will experience,
2.  Individual Y  -->  Plane Y  =  will experience,
3.  Individual Z  -->  Plane Z  =  will experience.
 
Note:  Individual X, Individual Y, and Individual Z are the so-called “same-natured” or interconnected beings on various planes of existence, but still within the same group consciousness traits.
 
Time Travel (Observation)
1.  Individual X  --> Plane Y and/or Plane Z = have experienced,
2.  Individual Y  --> Plane Z = have experienced.
 
Note:  The scope of the object’s frequency should be within the subject’s frequency horizon field; without it, observation would never be possible.  If the perceiver’s vibrational frequencies are lower than the perception, then cascading events are considered impossible.

One thing is certain: you are not alone in the infinite universes.  If your prayers are answered, it's probably a wish granted by the same-natured “you” in another dimension, not by those who are not related.  To comprehend a wider range of existences, it is necessary to increase the vibrational frequencies of mental consciousness.  It's similar to being positioned at the top of a mountain to observe all the things or events below.  Once again, the changes you make to your mental frequencies determine your future.

    The Prayer of the Jade Emperor (2024-02-18)
Śūnyatā

It's crucial to acknowledge that created objects are prone to change and cannot exist without an intrinsic basis.  What we experience, observe, or interact with is a consequence of the evolution of energy or matter.  This resembles Lego bricks that can be assembled and connected in different ways: to construct such objects as vehicles, buildings, and even working robots - anything constructed can then be taken apart again, and the pieces used to make other objects.  Therefore, any activity resulting from variation cannot be inherently present, as processes will change continuously.

We typically view our environment through a resulting perspective, but phenomena are simply a collection of basic elements, like space, energy, and matter.  In a different context, it can be said that appearance is misleading because it is not intrinsically present and varies based on specific conditions.  This is the Buddhist concept of voidness, emptiness, or ṡūnyatā.  As an example, the mind and body would develop under the conditional phenomena; just as the orientation of H2O properties determines the ephemerality of ice, water, and steam.  In the end, the phenomenon exists as this or that depending on the observers. 

Let’s see the illustrations below: -

Microscopic Analysis Of The Object (Solid Ball)
By zooming in, you could see what was in the core of the solid ball, the atoms.  But there was nothing to discover apart from the vibrant space.  Ultimately, this observation would give way to the emptiness of the substance.

Macroscopic Analysis Of The Object (Solid Ball)
As you zoom out, the solid ball seems to shrink to the smallest possible size.  In the end, such a finding would also give way to the emptiness of the substance.

As revealed by the analysis above, the emptiness of phenomena is the cause and consequence of the dependent nature of phenomena.  The enlightened mind perceives this as the ultimate reality because it is intrinsically right, which is the nature of existence.  Discovering such a truth is a key to surmounting the ignorant state of the mind.  The following principle applies: -

To see a Void is to see a Form,
To see a Form is to see a Void,

To see Energy, to see Matter,
To see Matter, to see Energy,

To see Energy, to see Space,
To see Space, to see Energy.
