Center and Periphery
_I: If death does not exist, and life is a constant with moments of transformations, then the very existence that refers to what I am, in a certain way is immovable. That is, something that is constant and eternal and moves without end, in conceptual terms it is the same as something fixed, since by rotating on itself as a constant system, everything self-references as a center... So, when we talk about purpose, of direction, are we really talking about movement and life? Or maybe life doesn't even really exist, and the path is just a perception?
_AM: This takes us to a complex plane of philosophy, where the fixed and the moved are the same. Let's start with the graphical way to understand this. Life and Death were represented in ancient times as a circle with a point in the middle. It represented the beginning and end of things in constant movement, through the path of existence. The point in the middle could represent the Sun, a symbol of life, although it could also represent the Moon, as a symbol of death. The circle around implied everything that had to be traveled, the path of existence that arose from the origin of the center, generating the idea of the Earth itself, which ended again at the same point. To this symbol, two transversal lines used to be added that divide the radius of the circle into 4 equal fractions. A vertical line would represent Time, and another horizontal line would represent Space. From the terrestrial vision, these 4 lines represent the 4 times: spring, summer, autumn and winter, and from the spatial vision they represent: north, south, east and west. We call this the Crucifixion of Being.
_I: How does this relate to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ?
_AM: All the peoples of the Earth knew the Solstices and Equinoxes and based their calendars dividing the year into 4 groups of 3 months each, or into two parts of 6 months, plus 1 that represented the center, the 13th lunar month. Middle East and Europe, it was popular knowledge and celebration, since its festivals were based on stellar and stationary calendars. Everyone knew the symbol of the cross long before Jesus appeared. The circle represented the Earth, and the center the halo of light or Solar disk. The Cross was the times, and everyone knew that there resided the divinity of life and death, that is, of constant Resurrection. When Christianity sought to position Jesus as the Messiah, the Savior, they placed his image in the place of the Sun, in front of the cross, so that everyone could relate that he was the son of God (Sun) and the Virgin (Moon). on Earth (Circle), beyond time and space (the Cross), and who marked its sacredness were the Three Kings of Heaven, Orion's Belt, who opened the path of the Milky Way from East to West. Thus, the entire population of the Mediterranean world could accept this savior with total naturalness.
_I: It makes sense, that is, what we attribute to the story of Jesus Christ is nothing more than astronomical symbology applied to people.
_AM: Jesus was one more, since there were hundreds who throughout history have been related to these same concepts. For when a human was considered an Enlightened One, he had the honor of recognizing himself in the center of the circle, being part of the Divine.
_I: So, to connect to the Divine, it is necessary to be in the Center.
_AM: Do you know what a fractal is?
_I: Yes, it comes from the word “fraction”, which is a part equivalent to the whole, equal in shape but in different proportions. How to split a triangle into many triangles.
_AM: The circle and the point in its center are precisely a fractal. The closer you get to the dot, you will see that it is also a circle that contains a dot in its center. No matter how deep you go or how far you distance yourself, it will always be that way. An eternal psychedelic image in which the point becomes a circle in its expansion and the circle becomes a point in its contraction. This shows you the greatest paradox of the Universe: everything that appears to move, transform, advance; Everything that is interpreted as Life is nothing more than the same fixed, static point, in nothingness; something that you can only understand in its transformation process, not because it moves but because your mind interprets its aspects. The idea of depth arises from your brain's ability to understand it, but it is an optical illusion. For this reason, there is only the mind in the Universe, because everything you call dual, everything you project as polar manifestations in constant transformation, are only a point that you observe with your imagination, moving closer or further away.
_I: Wait a minute. But, what about the law of Vibration, of Rhythm, of Polarity, that energy is always transformed, that the Universe is constant change, Evolution, everything we see and perceive is life and transformation?
_AM: All of it is based on physics. And what is physics based on?
_I: In quantum… Which is metaphysics.
_AM: So, if physics is based on metaphysics: What is the only possible law in the Universe?
_I: The imagination… The Mind.
_AM: Mentalism. Everything is perception, everything is an illusory game, excuse the redundancy. In the Universe there is only emptiness, which is neither black nor white, it is emptiness, where a single point, observed with imagination, gives infinite possibilities.
_I: But, for something to be observed, there must be an observer.
_AM: The observer only exists because of what is observed. No one possesses the mind, for the mind is in itself. There is no observer until the mind considers that there is something to observe.
_I: It's complex.
_AM: You don't have to understand it.
_I: And why have we come this far?
_AM: Because you asked… Simply.
_I: Okay… So what is all that we do and consider life?
_AM: The Periphery of the Center. “Center” comes from “Kentron” in Greek, and means “Stimulus”, related to the words sting, dart; that which hits the target. Taking the concept of stimulus, just like a bee sting, the center is the pulse, it is the action, the idea, the “Eureka” moment of the Universe. “Periphery” comes from the Greek “Perí” (around) and “Phero” (to carry something), that is, to carry something from the center to its surroundings. What would be the impulse, the reaction, the thought. Like the cosmos, from the center, a spiral is projected, generating the idea of a circle that repeats itself incessantly until it forms a sphere that expands from a nucleus. And when it reached its limits, it begins to retreat, like a pulse, receiving the effect of the cause of its beat, returning to the center like a dart, towards the origin. But in reality, you never left the center, you never left the point, you simply expanded your ability to perceive what you are.
_I: I am the point… On my axis. Is that why it is said that we must return to the center? This is why we are made to understand that everything that is around us arises from ourselves, that everything is a perception of the mind, that we must find our axis, because life that seems to change, only changes because we turn.
_AM: Look at the sky, and your human vision will say: The sun rises, the sun sets, the moon rises, the moon sets, the sun passes through the sky, the stars move in the sky... You believe that life , history, time, space is everything that happens, that passes by, that rotates incessantly, but it is not like that. It is the Earth that rotates, it is you who moves on an axis, perceiving that everything else moves, when it is only you. Therefore, you are the center, and therefore everything comes to you and arises from you, therefore you are your only purpose and mission in life, and it is your center and axis that will give meaning to the purpose and mission in what What do you see outside?
_I: “Stop wanting to be on the periphery, your place is in the center,” my guides told me in the Ring of Brodgar circle, in Scotland. I placed myself next to the stones, when my place was the center. I didn't understand at that moment, I thought it had to do with my position in life of being the center of attention of people, of others; to be a guide, to be in the center and to be seen by everyone, but no. Now I understand… Now I understand what they meant. The movement of the world arises from my axis, I must be in the center of my life to be able to contemplate and generate it.
_AM: Welcome to the only possible destination in the entire Universe: the Center.
