The vegetal, animal and human kigdoms have all this capability of self-healing. Our human body is a wonderful, complex, magic machine capable to handle many bodily damages. It is the best medecine which we can use. The various biological systems ensure most of the required conditons to sustain life, and when any discrepancy occurs, an army of cells is dispatched to stop proliferation and to repair any damage. A new study has discovered that this process of self-healing can occur in some metal, the nanoscale silver (Ag). This element, when subject to damages like nanocracks and nanopores, can repair itself without external intervention, the healed region restoring the crystal lattice with atomic precise ordering.

The Secret Doctrine (B.de Zirkoff Edition) Vol. I, p. 178, says that “… a mineral monad… would of course had been to call it the Monad manifesting in that form of Prakriti called the mineral kingdom.” And page 626 fn, says that “Foremost of all, the postulate that there is no such thing in Nature as inorganic substances or bodies. Stones, minerals, rocks, and even chemical “atoms” are simply organic units in profound lethargy. Their coma has an end and their inertia becomes activity.”

The Neutrino – A key to the Genesis of Heaviest Elements

Physics, Space Sciences

Date : June, 2024

Source : Science Alert

The Neutrino is the most elusive and weird particle from the Standard Model. It is everywhere in the universe. It moves at light speed, it does not interact with ordinary matter, so it can go through any physical substance, including our physical body, without being detected – the invisible entity. It was postulated in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli before being discovered in the 1950’s. Its main source are the stars like our Sun, which generate billions of them every second through the fusion process.

It is still as of today one of the biggest mystery in modern Particle Physics, it has a mass but still unknown where the Standard Model predicted no mass for the neutrino. A new study suggests that the lightest particles in the Universe may play a critical role in the formation of heavy elements.

Nucleosynthesis – the generation of elements, or the transformation of the Big Bang elementary particles (H, He, Li) is mainly the result of the fusion process inside the core of the main sequence stars like our Sun. But it stops short at the iron element (Fe). Above this threshold, it requires the immense energy only a supernova star can provide. This study brings a new genesis process for the heavy elements, using the quantum identity of the neutrinos (entanglement) as an intermediate process. Another brick in the puzzle of the generation of physical matter.

At the time where the early teachings of Theosophy were published, the sun’s fusion process was unknown, like most of modern Physics. An article from the Collected Writings of H.P.B. – Is the Sun a Cooling Mass (Vol. V, p. 155), quoting Sir John Hershel giving out a theory approximating an occult truth : “These wonderful objects are not ‘solar inhabitants’, but simply the reservoirs of solar vital energy, the vital electricity that feeds the whole system in which it lives, and breathes, and has its being.”

Gravity without Mass ?

Physics

Date : June, 2024

Dark Matter has still not being identified in the visible cosmos. Since observation of abnormal celestial movements in the Coma Cluster (Fritz Zwicky, 1933), many projects have been developed to identify and measure it. Most advanced one is buried 6,800 feet below Texas surface, with an inner temperatue (thousandths of a degree above absolute zero) 1,000 time colder than outer space.
But, still, no detection. An astrophysicist is proposing a new hypothesis which could explain theorically that gravity can be generated without any underlying mass.

Dark Energy & Matter

Physics

Date : May, 2022

We are the Dark Energy and Matter, says Octavio Baez. He is proposing “study and development of a line of thought conducive to establishing that the known universe, including us, is really “dark” matter and energy, and that what has so far only knowable by human mind is true “white” matter and energy.”


And he proposes the following paradigm shift : “If we accept that we are part of a broader “reality”, then we can begin to think that we can explain what we have all seen since the early days of our existence, that we are not alone, that part of us belongs to another “area”, or in other words, that our soul and therefore our conscience is not from this “world that is said to be real” but is an integral part of a “reality” that we can know precisely by using the mental weapons that we have.”

The Atomic Theory in India 2,600 years ago

Physics

Date : Sept., 2023

Source : Ancient Origins

The Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers Democritus (460 – 370 BC) and Leucippus (5th century BC) are well known for their formulation of an atomic theory of the universe.
At the same period of time a similar theory was promoted in India by Acharya Kanad, born in 600 BC. He founded the Vaisheshika school of philosophy, and he proposed that the universe is made of indivisible matter called ANU (atom).

The Occult Chemistry (A. Besant, C.W. Leadbeater) based all the descriptions of the basic chemical elements on the ANU, or ultimate physical atom (UPA).

The third edition, published by C. Jinarajadasa in 1950 described it as « The ANU can scarcely be said to be a « thing », though it is the material out of which all things physical are composed. It is formed by the life-force and vanishes with its ebb. The life-force is known to Theosophists as Fohat, the force of which all the physical plane forces are differentiations. »

The fusion processes which occurs inside the core of any active star like our sun is the source of the generation of energy for all celestial bodies in its vicinity. This process involves the transformation of one element, starting with hydrogen, into heavier elements like helium, bore, carbon, oxygen,… The mechanism involves classical electromagnetism and quantum physics and it is confirmed by measurements from the Earth of the emitted particules called neutrinos. A recent experiment was able to measure for the first time such neutrinos coming from the sun’s second fusion process, called the CNO (Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen) Cycle.

In 2014, Chandra Wickramasinghe, from Buckingham Center for Astrobiology, UK, wrote a book – The Search for Our Cosmic Ancestry, following Fred Hoyle’s Theory of Cosmic Panspermia. He statistically demonstrated that life cannot have emerged on earth per chance, as the mainstream materialistic scientist’s world think, but was probably brought by cosmic “travelers” like comets, asteroids,…
In a recent space project – COSIMA (COmetary Secondary Ion Mass Analyser), hosted on the Rosetta spacecraft – discovered phosphorus and fluorine in solid dust particles collected from the inner coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur were already reported in previous studies. Phosphorus is the last one of the CHNOPS-elements necessary for life to emerge.

Magnetic fields are present in our Universe, wherever we look at, on the Earth, the Sun, the Milky Way, clusters of galaxies, . . . and even in the interstellar void, connecting clusters of galaxies via gigantic filaments. The origin of these force fields is still unknown. One possibility could be that it was created at the (re)birth of our Universe. Therefore, it would be considered as primordial. Such an hypothesis could explain the current accelerated expansion of the visible Universe. Magnetism, together with gravity are the forces shaping out the large-structure of the cosmos.

The Big Bang Theory : An Origin or Not ?

Physics, Space Sciences

Source : Quanta Magazine

Date : June 2019

The debate around the Big Bang Theory is still very active, due to many unresolved problems around it. Some cosmologists, including Alan Guth and Stephen Hawking have proposed (1981 – Vatican Conference) that there is no end nor beginning at all. The no-boundary proposal (1983 J. B. Hartle and S. W. Hawking paper) describes the universe expanding from a point of zero size. In a recent lecture (S.W. Hawking 2016), Stephen Hawking explained why we cannot talk about ‘Before the Big Bang’ : because, at this time, there is no time ; time cease to exist and is replaced by pure space.

This is one of the most striking parallel with the Wisdom Tradition Teachings : Describing the phase before the (re)creation of the Universe, The Secret Doctrine (Cosmogenesis, Stanza I.2) says : “Time was not, for it lay asleep in the infinite bosom of duration“. This is correlated by the Rig-Veda Book X (verse 10.129.2 – creation) : “Then was neither death nor life, nor any sign of night and day“. Here, the key idea is time (kâla). The Rig Veda states that the first step in the creation is not time.

Large Numbers Numerical Coincidences

Date : Jan. 2020

The values of the physical “constants”, like G, the Newtonian gravitational constant, or h, the Plank constant, or c, the speed limit of light, are still shrouded in mystery. Why do they have such a value ? Gilles Cohen-Tannoudji, one of the leading particles physicist, said that ” the universal constants express the inherent limitations of human knowledge.”

One of our reader has published a paper proposing a set of new hypothesis, as a continuation of Dirac’s and Eddington’s Large Number Hypothesis, linking constants and numbers. In that analysis, all the found relations have a common nature of the “power-of-two”. Such correlations provide with accurate calculation/prediction of some constants and measurements.

He wrote some additional comments : “Beside sevenfoldness, the proposed hypothesis has another interesting property that supports the thought of Mme Blavatsky (H.P.B.) on the existence of key-note in Nature which was mentioned by her in The Voice of the Silence – Glossary to Part, III, The seven Portals, 10, p. 89. : she gives Note F as the keynote of Nature. If one calculates exactly 68 octaves up from the Hubble constant given by the article’s expression, then the result is 673.37 Hz which is close to standard note F (698.45 Hz). The same result can be obtained by calculating 60 octaves down from the de Broglie frequency of the electron.

Is the Sun Conscious ?

Date : Jul. 2018

Scientific mind has crystallized his paradigm around mechanistic, reductionist approaches since the end of the XVIth century, and, since the beginning of the XXth century, materialistic-only philosophy is dominant in scientific communities. The last 15 years have witnessed a new movement – panpsychism – which reintroduces consciousness everywhere. Among the proponents of such theory, Rupert Sheldrake is talking about the Earth, the Sun, the galaxies, as self-organizing systems or conscious organisms. He proposed some mechanisms to explain how the Sun can be conscious of what is happening inside the Solar System, using electromagnetic fields which are connecting everything in the Universe. This talk is giving some clues and methods for testing the hypothesis that consciousness express itself through the Sun.

The Theosophist – Volume IV, N° 12, Sept. 1883 : “If the “Adepts” are asked: “What then, in your views, is the nature of our sun and what is there beyond that cosmic veil?. – they answer: beyond rotates and beats the heart and head of our system; externally is spread its robe, the nature of which is not matter, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous, such as you are acquainted with, but vital electricity, condensed and made visible.”

Does Time Flows Two Ways ?

Physics

Date : Jan. 2020

The weirdness of quantum physics is still puzzling our rational, intellectual mind. Causality is one of the paradigms most difficult to challenge. A cause always preceding an effect seems so obvious that reversing the arrow of time would be more science-fiction than science. But quantum physics has encountered this phenomenon with the notion of quantum superposition which states that an object can be in two different states at the same time. Many experiments have been and are still currently being run to witness this phenomenon. One of the recent ones (Aug. 2019) has extended the range of the scenario up to a massive body in a spatial superposition state (thought experiment), which demonstrate again that : ” a classical notion of a causal structure is untenable in any framework compatible with the basic principles of quantum mechanics and classical general relativity.

The Secret Doctrine – Volume 1 (3rd edition, p. 68) : “Time” is only an illusion produced by the succession of our states of consciousness as we travel through the Eternal Duration, and it does not exist where no consciousness exists in which the illusion can be produced, but “lies asleep”.

An Exploration of Mind/Brain Interactions

Date : Jul. 2019

Scientists are exploring interactions/relationships between mind and brain. Mind’s effect on matter is scientifically studied and a new model/mechanism is proposed, using and extension of the Bohmian Quantum Mechanics, combined with Avicenna’s philosophical ideas. This study try to demonstrate the causal effect of the mind on the brain, as an incorporeal essence.

Mme Blavatsky often wrote comments on the functions of the brain. Here are two excerpts of her articles :

The fact is that the human brain is simply the canal between two planes – the psycho-spiritual and the material – through which every abstract and metaphysical idea filters from the Manasic down to the lower human consciousness. Therefore, the ideas about the infinite and the absolute are not, nor can they be, within our brain capacities.” (Lucifer, Vol. V, N° 26, October, 1889)

The special organ of consciousness is of course the brain, and is located in the aura of the pineal gland in the living man. During the process of mind or thought manifesting to consciousness, constant vibrations of light take place… What consciousness is can never be defined psychologically. We can analyze and classify its works and effects – we cannot define it, unless we postulate an Ego distinct from the body.” (The Theosophist, Vol. XLVI, N° 11, August 1925 )

Galaxies Movement Synchronization

Date : Nov. 2019

Recent astronomical observations (since 2014) are showing “strange” synchronized galaxies movements and “abnormal” alignments of supermassive black holes at the core of quasars. This discovery indicates that large-scale structures in the universe are influencing the dynamics of galaxies and supermassive black holes, even when they are separated by billion light years. It looks as if they are connected by a vast unseen force. There is currently no scientific explanation and this observed behavior may jeopardize the current basic assumption about the physical universe model (the cosmological principle). More observations are required before drawing any conclusion.
