Spirit Weighed

Quarks, the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons have been notoriously difficult to weigh, until now.

In the middle Sixties while the world was discovering LSD scientists were quietly discovering the Quark, decimating theories that for centuries contended the atom the fundamental building block of reality. For fifty years now theorists with the aid of atom smashers have concluded there are six types of quarks which make the nucleus of the atom.

The way in which the six quarks align determines the exterior properties of the atom–directly corresponding to the Cabala. The lower two triangles of the Ten Sefirot, called Zira Anpin/Small Faces interact in different ways to manifest emotions.

The number six is fundamental to creation because of the six-sided cubic nature of reality–up, down, forward, backwards, left and right. Only the up and down Quark is stable in the same way the relationship between Creator and creation is the foundation to existence.

The Quark is the place where the spiritual world condenses down into matter and takes on physical reality mirroring the spiritual world. The Torah explains this mirrored phenomenon as the Six Days of Creation; the Cabala adds Olam/World from the word Helem/Hidden–through the six quarks is hidden spirit from matter.

Worlds Without End

Antimatter galaxies and dark matter have long haunted physicists' theories, but no instrument in orbit has had the power to confirm or deny their existence. Now a $1.5 billion cosmic ray detector scheduled for launch in 2010 could usher in a new era.

The Cabala is replete with references to worlds that shine and worlds that do not shine; the Midrash-Book of Metaphor says in the beginning creation did not know if God wanted the light or the darkness until God said of the light–it is good. Since division and equality are inherent in creation it only stands to reason that much of the universe has yet to be detected.

The scientists reason that only four percent of existence “shines.” Four is an interesting number since God’s Four Letter Name YHVH is responsible for the four elements, the four directions and the four divisions in space; leaving the other 96 percent unseen–similar to how icebergs reveal only a small part of their mass.

The world is full of similes because the human being is also made in the form of the YHVH making all creation to be a representation of ourselves thus throwing suspicion upon our theories.

It is important to look at science from the standpoint of knowledge gleamed from the ancient wisdom written by masters who understood the story and metaphor of life; going beyond the four into the 96–Epha/Where is the gematria 96.javascript:void(0)
