3. ENERGY
MATTER
SPACE
The ability to cause change or do work. It travels
in a wavy mechanism and at a high frequency
span.
It is a standing wave of energy that occupies
space and also known as the crystallisation of
low frequency waves of energy.
An expression for the existence of energy i.e. no
energy in play, no space arising.

NATURE
It bears with the characteristics of beginning-less
and end-less because anything that inherently
exists would not involve change.
Nothing stays unchanging for a slightest moment
under the influence of conditional phenomena all
the time.
Mother Nature is a system that is universal i.e. it is
inherent existing and dependent arising concurrently. It
is infinite in its original disposition and is governed by
the universal laws.

6. Energy is a quality that is universal i.e. it is inherent
existing and dependent arising concurrently. The
alternate expression for energy is emptiness.

NATURE
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed and
the sum of all energies in a system is a constant or
never changes.
Energy arises in a constant state of flux.

7. • When one sees into energy, one sees into emptiness;
when one sees into emptiness, one sees into energy.
• This is the rationale for the saying, ‘Form is Emptiness,
Emptiness is Form.’ The principle in effect: seeing into
form is seeing into matter, seeing into matter is seeing
into energy and seeing into energy is seeing into
emptiness. And emptiness is a necessary prerequisite
for any objects to exist; without it, the object would be
impossible.
• Energy is described as the ability to cause change or do
work, while emptiness is understood as absence in the
static entity and devoid of inherent existence for all
created objects or things.

8. Energy would constantly fluctuate and orientate in
translational, rotational and vibrational motions.

9. • The circumstances of duality or multiplicity in the dependent nature
are merely the side effects of the vibrational characteristics of
energy.
• Energy is nothing but mere vibration. When there are opposing
forces, there would be vibration. The alternate movement of the
opposing forces would generate a continuum of wavy pattern
oscillating up and down.
• This is the main reason for all the repeating cycle of rising and
falling activities that one could witness in the dependent nature.
9

10. Dependent nature is a ‘continuous flow’- referring to a repeating cycle
of birth, life, death and re-birth. There is a repeating cycle of rising and
falling activities that in turn would give rise to the regular balanced and
imbalanced phenomena as being observed by the mind. This scenario
can be portrayed in the cycle of dependent origination shown as below:
-
Balance 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 imbalance. Imbalance leads to adjustment.
Adjustment leads to alignment. Alignment leads to new balance.

11. 11

12. • When the two opposing translational forces clash against one
another, vibrational forces arise concurrently. The arised
vibrational forces would appear in a regular pattern of waves
i.e. standing and traveling and this in turn would give rise to
deflective forces.
• The traveling waves would involve with higher vibrational
frequencies and the standing waves would involve with lower
vibrational frequencies.
• Subsequently, the conditions of duality and multiplicity would
arise out of the combination of deflective, translational,
vibrational and rotational forces as the becoming processes
moved into an advanced level of complexity.
12

13. • Time is something that is created, not born (a non-natural
existence). Time is an indicator for event and it belongs to a
category named as dimension (it is created for the task of
measurement per se).
• Also, time is a scalar factor. A scalar refers to a quantity or
phenomenon that exhibits magnitude only, with no specific
direction. Example of scalars include speed, mass, electrical
resistance, and hard-drive storage capacity. Any interval of
time is also scalar - it has magnitude only.
• When an object is set under an accelerating motion, the
becoming process of the object would be stretched as
compared with a relative object that is set under a constant
or a decelerating motion. In other words, the becoming
process of the object has been slowed down comparatively
and not the time that has been dilated or slowed down.
13

14. • Time would only assume the expression that the becoming
process has slowed down and not the other way round.
• Literally, the slowing down of the becoming process would
mean the slowing down of the aging process for a sentient
being.
• This is the correct understanding behind the thought
experiment of twin paradox which concerns a twin who flies
off in a spaceship traveling near the speed of light and
returns to discover that his or her twin sibling has aged much
more.
14

15. • Similarly, the word of time has been used frequently for
expressing different scenarios of becoming process, such as
follows: -
NO TIME = an expression of no opportunity for a new becoming
process to begin.
TIME TO TIME = an expression of moving from the past to the
present becoming process; the present to the future becoming
process.
TIME PASSED SLOWLY = an expression of hoping for a faster
becoming process.
TIME DILATION = an expression that the becoming process slows
down.
15

16. • Everything does exist at the same time under present-
dynamism only. The projectile movement of time as often
experienced by our mind consciousness is purely due to
relativity as well as the varying vibrational frequencies in
play.
• As a result, we tend to perceive things a little bit linearly, thus
creating the delusion of past, present and future movement
of time. The conventional time that we involve ourselves
with every day is a subjective and a relative time.
• This means the time orientation is dependent on the
observer (i.e. the subject’s mind) to provide the valuation on
the other side of the object or matter. As a consequence, the
time conclusion varies among different observers or minds.
16

17. • In fact, Albert Einstein has given out an interpretation of
spacetime that is actually the endless evolving frequency
cum becoming process in Mother Nature.
• We could liken the frequency to space and the becoming
process to time because time is actually a dimension
(indicator) for the becoming process and space is merely an
expression for energy in play as per frequency (i.e. the
number of occurrences or observations within a given time
period or statistical category).
Present-dynamism = frequency x becoming (space x time)
17

18. • Once again, time would always arise at the present state of
condition. There is no backward or forward movement of
time but just a regenerating of occurrences all the time at a
common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism.
• This means in the twinkling of an eye, all events or
phenomena as observed by our mind consciousness would
fluctuate and renew simultaneously and continuously.
• Just like the gravity effects on earth for all different masses
are the same (acceleration value, g = 9.80 m/s2) even
though the rock strikes the ground before the feather per se.
However, the common pace of spacetime or present-
dynamism is unconjecturable and it is mainly due to its
nature of beginning-less and end-less.
18

19. • The elements of awareness would begin to discern some simple
varying frequencies that consecutively give rise to consciousness, that
is basically arises out of awareness. This is the ‘soul’ thing that we talk
about all the time.
• Consciousness would then progress and expand into a manipulative
typecast i.e. mind or also known as consciousness in individuality. In
fact, soul is referring to a blueprint of endless evolving mind
consciousnesses. Such a blueprint would serve as a steering wheel
and is often mistakenly deemed as a permanent entity.
• Soul is dependent arising and anything that is dependent arising would
involve change and therefore, it cannot inherently exist in Mother
Nature.

20. AWARENESS
CONSCIOUSNESS
MIND
A not-knowing state before the appearance of
object i.e. a state of pure radiance.
An appearance of objects in the mind i.e. a sort
of synergy arises from the expansion of energies
through cooperation. It has the ability to expand
and pervade through any corresponding planes
of existence simultaneously and indefinitely.
A pattern of consciousness that is born from
awareness i.e. consciousness in individuality.
20

21. • Mind is the forerunner of all states. The presence of the waves of
dependent phenomena has clouded the mind from discerning the
reality of circumstances i.e. ignorance arises.
• And with ignorance blindfolding the mind since the dawn of time,
suffering arises and continues to arise in the dependent nature i.e.
with the rise of perceptions, conceptions, labels, boundaries, names,
activities, shapes, relations, descriptions, stereotyping, beginning,
ending, etc.
• Mind is something more objective and involves clear discrimination
– differentiates and understands the characteristics of objects. One
utilises mind to understand things because mind understands the
manipulation of consciousness.
21

22. • Manas that unfolds against the backdrop of consciousness
(preliminary) is an architect or a designer that activates the mind
and body creations. Mind and body are simply two aspects of the
same thing.
• Manas would vibrate in a certain unique frequency pattern – a wave
of collated high and low vibrations. This blueprint of vibrations
would subsequently bring forth a conflation of mind and body.
• The principle in effect: the lower the frequency, the slower the
vibration; the higher the frequency, the faster the vibration. Slower
vibration would lead to the body and the sense bases formation and
faster vibration would lead to the mind formation.
• Collectively, it brings about a new life existence with a unique
individuality that would not allow the disruption by any kind of
external interference; thus it maintains a self-identity.
22

23. • In other words, mind and body are present in every created thing as
one integrated whole (as in the phenomenon of wave-particle
duality). Even an atom has a kind of mind that is unique or
individualised.
• The nucleus of the atom, around which electrons vibrate in standing
waves, constitutes the atom’s individuality. As a result, one atom
distinguishes from another atom – just as one person is different
from another person or as one thing is different from another thing.
• As a human, the traits of consciousness are not within the physical
body per se. Instead, it is the physical body that is within the traits
of consciousness with the mind functioning as the forerunner of all
things.
• The prevailing mind consciousness is closely related to the physical
body, whereas, the subtle mind consciousness is somehow
independent from the physical body. This is because when the
physical body is being ‘switch-off’ temporarily the subtle mind
consciousness would continue to work unpretentiously as in the
experience of lucid dreaming. 23

24. • All objects or matters as observed by the mind consciousness must
transpire within the purview of the group traits of consciousness.
This includes all the projections and reflections of reality or fallacy
being identified and experienced by the respective mind
consciousnesses.
• In fact, the group traits of consciousness would perform like a
powerful microscope and telescope whereby nothing can be
discerned outside its horizon.
• The human physical body is merely an interim containment of
certain blueprint of vibrational frequencies. Basically, humans are
the end result of a certain unique frequency pattern of
consciousness – a wave of collated high and low vibrations that
subsequently bring forth a conflation of mind and body.
24

25. 25
• The general prescription is that any realms of higher vibrational
frequency would be able to discern the realms of lower vibrational
frequency. However, the realms of lower vibrational frequency
would not be able to discern any realms of higher vibrational
frequency.
• In other words, the object or matter must keep on within the purview
of the subject’s frequency horizon; without it, the observation would
be impossible.
• It is akin to any beings of higher vibrational frequencies having an
aerial perspective on the affairs of beings with lower vibrational
frequencies rather than the other way round. If the vibrational
frequencies of the perceiver are lower than the perceived, the
cascading events are deemed impossible.
• Therefore, beings of grander vibrational frequency span are able to
discern at-will basis on all other beings with common vibrational
frequency span via a tweak of frequencies.

26. 26

27. 27
• All different planes of existence are the end result of polarity in the
traits of consciousness with the mind functioning as a forerunner in
determining the frequency of the traits.
• In fact, it is the elements of memory within the mind that become the
basis for the heritability of consciousness bearing traits; without it,
whatever evolution of consciousness in spacetime or present-
dynamism would be impossible.
• There are variations and conditioned relationships in consciousness
between beings; it is not identical but neither is it completely distinct.
The new arising consciousness is neither identical to, nor entirely
different from, the old consciousness, but forms part of a causal
continuum or stream with it.
• On another aspect, the varying vibrational frequencies in the
respective planes of existence would conjure up unique forces of
energy that are interweaving and interfering amongst other
corresponding or resonating frequencies elsewhere.

28. 28
• As such, it is not surprising for one to observe a growth or a demise
of certain species in a population as there are always natural forces
interacting and complementing to bring forth a harmonious dynamic
system across all planes of existence in Mother Nature.
• In addition, the fluctuating vibrational frequencies amongst different
planes of existence would bring about variances in terms of the
relative timeline.
• Under the common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism, a
higher vibrational frequency would yield a slower becoming process
and vice versa. This is because, by nature, everything is
interconnected and balanced with both the yin and the yang
aspects.
• Yin and yang are actually complementary but opposing forces
interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part; thus
bringing forth a dynamic system existing in harmony.

29. 29
• For instance, in a relative term, the experience of one second in a
celestial plane (higher vibrational frequencies) is equivalent to ten
years for a human plane (lower vibrational frequencies). As such,
from a human perspective, all the celestial beings are assumed to
have been living in a continuum of eternity. Let us look into the
following illustrations for more details: -

30. • A wormhole is literally a cross path for different planes of existence.
There is a possibility for beings to perform a time travel from one
plane of existence to another via a wormhole. The described
wormhole here is basically referring to a ‘tweak’ of frequencies by
beings with higher vibrational frequencies to discern the beings in
lower vibrational frequencies.
30

31. 31

32. • Basically, there are two sides of truth in existence concurrently
i.e. conventional truth and ultimate truth.
• When addressing a problem, in the first place, we need to
ensure whether our point of view is from a conventional or an
ultimate perspective.
• For example, from a conventional perspective, we would agree
that duality or multiplicity does exist. However, from an ultimate
perspective, we would then agree that no duality or multiplicity
arises. In other words, no phenomenon arises if we speak from
an ultimate perspective.

Truths
33

34. • There is always a parallel reality at the other dimension of cosmos
and all different dimensions or realities would vibrate in varying
frequencies (in a faster or a slower speed than one another).
• In the realms of parallel reality, there are two types of becoming
process i.e. consciousness-bound and bare-consciousness-bound.
• Consciousness-bound becoming process is subject to the
manipulation of minds and conditions under myriad of vibrational
frequencies. These chaotic frequencies would permeate and
transpire across numerous planes of existence i.e. to the next
corresponding frequencies indefinitely.
• On the other hand, bare-consciousness-bound becoming process is
a simple becoming process under uniformed frequencies. These
regulated frequencies would permeate and transpire across
resonated frequencies on a more confined basis.
34

35. • Future reality is nothing but a victorious expression of vibrational
frequency competitions in Mother Nature. Frequency is described
as the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a
particular period of time. This means the onus of sustaining the
future reality lies on the party who asserts it i.e. the respective traits
of consciousness.
• Just like a competition of seed sowing and growing whereby any
gardener that becomes the first person to turn the seed from
dormancy into a living thing would win the race.
• In other words, future reality is all about endless possibilities and it is
dependent on the present state of condition all the time. One should
pay attention to the present moment only because everything does
exist at the same time under present-dynamism.
• In a way, the navigation of the future into any intended directions
should begin right here, right now.
35

36. • One could conclude that both emptiness and energy are
fundamental qualities because every single thing or happening
would involve with the elements of emptiness and energy in the
dependent nature.
• For general understanding, conditional phenomenon is a necessary
prerequisite for energy to exist; without it, the existence would be
impossible. On another front, emptiness is a necessary prerequisite
for any objects to exist; without it, the object would be impossible.
• As such, one could wrap up that something as in object would arise
out of the elements of energy that exist in a system. This is
because energy and matter are simply two aspects of the same
thing, both reflected in different forms per se (as in Einstein’s
formula, E = mc2).
• And since we are unable to discern the elements of energy with our
naked eyes, we would name it as empty instead of nothing.
36

37. • Then, what is the first cause for the start of the material Universe?
Frankly speaking, the ultimate first cause for anything or everything
is Mother Nature. Without Mother Nature, nothing would ever exist
– no things or happenings would arise.
• For a theist, this phenomenon is also known as One Supreme Being
or God. In other words, all things or matters would rise and fall
within the Mother Nature or so-called the One Supreme Being or
God. This is the deepest fact about things and nothing can be
recognised beyond its boundary.
• Since the dawn of time, energy has been in existence within the
system of dependent nature (inherent existence). Under a balanced
phenomenon, the elements of energy would turn into the elements
of matter through the process of aggregation. Likewise, under an
imbalanced phenomenon, the elements of matter would turn into the
elements of energy through the process of segregation (dependent
arising).
37

38. • In other words, the material Universe is merely a momentary
appearance conjured up from a continuum of orientating energy and
matter in space under the influence of conditional phenomena. Just
like ice, water and steam are different appearances deriving from
the orientation of H2O properties under the influence of the external
conditions. In other words, it is the orientation of H2O properties that
has taken place to conjure up the momentary outcome of it.
• In order to seek for the ultimate truth, it is imperative for one to
abandon the stereotyping mindset that is associated with the ‘-ism’
or ‘-ology’ for it is a system of pre-conditioning or pre-disposition
(a.k.a. a ‘locked-in’ mentality).
• Generally, liberation is the only right potion to the ultimate truth
discovery and with the inculcation of right determination, the ultimate
truth can be discovered by anyone right here, right now. This would
mean observations on all the phenomena would need to be based
on unbiased grounds i.e. on neutral and upright positions.
