<p>Of course there would by necessity have to be a portal bridging that ZERO POINT in every human being because to bring life: i.e. soul/psyche of another into the real world via procreation there would have to be ways of opening that portal; however, this latter is dangerous because now by producing an offspring you have committed yourself to its education, welfare and upbringing, which is exhausting, expensive and time consuming. There is no time for mystical researches. An hour or two or even a dozen is not enough time in a week to do this harshest of task. What you would be given the mystical would take away from your family life and you can guest the problems that would arise from such inattentiveness towards one's family.</p>
<p>I believe that the intellect via one's analytical abilities is the safest way of connecting oneself to the inner Zero Point. I do not believe that this ability to analytically research esotericism is possible until the initiate has a spiritual experience. This mystic experience must come at the dawn of one's researches not at the end of such researches. A person could research religion and/or esotericism for his whole life and not have a mystical experience; however, until that experience is had you will not know true esotericism.</p>
The latter way of procreation I believes rips a hole in the fabric of the psyche/soul preventing the wannabe initiate from researching esotericism.<br/>

<p>Okay. Here's in inference to Blavatsky's use of the term in Christopher P. Homes' Zero Point Teaching, for an additional perspective. <br/>Christopher P. Holmes, Ph.D.</p>
<p>The Zero Point hypothesis is that living beings have zero point centres rooted into the grounds of being and that these are associated with the higher dimensional physics and metaphysics of the human heart. Such ideas are found within The Secret Doctrine of H. P. Blavatsky, mystic scholar and founder of Theosophy, within esoteric Judaism and Kabbalah, mystical and Gnostic Christianity, Islam and Sufism, the teachings of the Dalai Lama and many other sources. The significance of such ideas has completely escaped the attention of the modern 'scientists of new formation,' as Gurdjieff described them in his masterful Tales. Dr. Holmes explores such concepts in the terms of an individual's experience of Self and the science of human consciousness, and in the terms of modern quantum and holographic physics and science. </p>
<p>Dr. Holmes maintains that each individual is thus such a star - with a divine source emanation established within the higher seven dimensional hyperspace of the human heart. This is the Monad of H. P. Blavatsky, the God Spark described by Shirley McLaine, the 'divine spark' referred to by Sufi masters and Kabbalists, the jivaatma described in Vedantic teachings of Hinduism. Christopher explores the higher dimensional science of such possibilities and the mysteries of human consciousness and the heart. This is a wholly alternative conceptualization of the nature of human consciousness and reality than otherwise offered in the mainstream of modern thought and science, or in new age wisearcrings or writings. It suggests that we must understand the higher dimensional physics and metaphysics of consciousness and the heart in order to attain to a knowledge, understanding and wisdom of Self.</p>

<p>The fact that we are spiritual beings with eternal life ahead of us the only way to expressed the inexplicable is not with words, which are eternally opened up for interpretation but with mathematics. I am not saying that a person can not have a spiritual vision void of mathematics: for I myself had one in June of 1978. I was studying Matthew's gospel when all of a sudden there was a bright light: I found myself heading down a tunnel at breakneck speed. At the same time my mind was peppered with billions of pieces of data explaining to me that there was no such thing as death. <em><strong>I saw the sum total of all knowledge: I had a glimpse of eternity. </strong></em> The idea that there was no such thing as death was explained to me from every conceivable angle. Of course I could not retain such data for one fact was insignificant to the whole. This entire vision lasted a fraction of a second. I learned later it was a Kundalini experience. After this experience I recognized that I had the ability for pattern recognition. Not that I did not have the gift prior to the experience but it became much more pronounced. However, I must admit that this gift could just as well have been heightened by my decision to stop drinking alcoholic beverages, which abstinence opened up my mind like a flower for greater memory retention. There is no doubt, in my mind, that I had come into contact mentally with the law of omniscience. That same data can be rearranged to answer any question anyone may ask of it. I apparently had the question concerning death on my mind without realizing it. From having that experience I have lost all fear of death. I later realized that the tunnel was analogous to a six foot grave and that it would take billions of years for the bones to reach the surface. Thus, I learned that billions years was but a fraction of a second in time.</p>
<p>To answer your question: no, it is not all numbers for we as human beings need the grammatical arts to live in the world to explain to us this mathematical universe of ours. Remember numbers are more succinct then words. Coupled with letters and their symbolic values and their combination in words and verses lends themselves to numerous and varied interpretations. And they all could very well be true from various perspective producing a massive amount of data that would otherwise take volumes to explain.</p>

<p>Anyway, I quickly realized that this was merely a play off of the multiplication tables though I had arrived at it conceptually from a round about way. Then I realized that each of the multiplication tables casting out nines was merely mimicking the first multiplication table. Each multiplication table was the image and likeness of the Monad (#1). Pythagoras had used the same matrix to develop his mathematical theorems. This same matrix was used to write the first chapter of Genesis because both the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and the Star of David are develop from it. It is obvious to me that the number one: the MONAD is ZERO POINT from which all is developed. <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2884417561?profile=original"><img width="200" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2884417561?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="317" height="378"/></a><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2884416741?profile=original"><img width="200" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2884416741?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="315" height="460"/></a></p>
