Chillum Science

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Tariqas

Chai, Chapati, Chillum! (are all my brain and body need)

Put that in ya Pipe & Smoke it!

Originally I wrote this piece on the chillum back in early March but then had the bright idea of seeing if I could sell it (Well lets face it no one has ever clicked the donate button). Well blow my cotton socks off but I actually got interest and was under the impression I had sold it for 300 Euro to Soft Secrets. Just goes to show what I’m giving away for free here is actually worth something (well to a free weed magazine?). However our life is never that simple, as we blogged in the post Not so Soft or Secret Communications. Although this was a joint effort, the chillum has strong religious significance to the sadhu so this piece is attributed to our spiritual expert Tariqas.

If you have never smoked a chillum then it’s likely you have never been to India either, where the chillum has been the principle method for smoking cannabis for over 5000 years. It’s very likely too that the first person to ever get stoned did so using a chillum for the chillum is an ancient instrument fused with mystical, religious and philosophical history. In essence the chillum is a simple conical clay pipe that is held between and smoked through cupped hands. It is a tool designed for sharing and whilst it may be old it is by no means a simple instrument; for a well constructed chillum is not only an example of great art but great science for this is :

What came first; the Chillum or the Sadhu?

Howi Sadhu Guarding the Akhara Gate

It’s impossible to tell the story of the chillum without talking about Sadhu’s, India’s ash smeared wandering mystics. To the Sadhu the chillum is his connection with God; it is the holy grail of Asia and when a group of Sadhu’s sit down to share a chillum they are talking part in a ritual that is equivalent to and at least 3000 years older than the Eucharist (Christian Mass). Such events usually take place around a Dunhi, a sacred fire pit, and when the participants are senior members of an Akhara, the house or family that the Sadhu’s belong too the event is referred to as a meeting of ‘The High Court’. Akhara similarly best translates as the ‘Gathering in the Cave’ and its arguable that much of Asia’s oldest philosophical teachings and writings owe their origins to the use of chillum.

The Kumbh Mela: The Worlds Biggest Chillum Session

Whilst ‘booming tubes’ in smoky caves is a great way to connect with God and achieve enlightenment, the best way to connect with Sardu’s and chillum smoking is to attend the Worlds Largest Chillum event: the Kumbh Mela. Every 12 years tens of thousands of Sadhu’s descend on the Sangum, the confluence of the rivers Ganges and Yanama at Allahabad in India to take a Holy Dip and to smoke a chillum or two with old and new friends! So we went to join them and to find out what all that chillum smoking is about!

Charas: Chillum Fuel

Whilst Sadhu’s will smoke ganja (outdoor old style grass) in their chillum most prefer to smoke Charas or ‘cream’. Unlike hashish which is shaken from the dried plant, charas is rubbed onto the hands directly from the living plant in the field.; the finest of which is often referred to as ‘cream’.

Altitude is critical here with most charas growing above 1500m and the best cream coming from plants growing as high as 3500m. So above the tree-line and at the limit for Cannabis growth. At these altitudes the strong ultra-violet sun light and thin atmosphere result in a resin of almost liquid quality and a high that no indoor plant could ever match.

Smoked in a chillum one is immediately transported to a higher plane and if one is lucky an audience with Shiva (God) may be granted! For the chillum symbolizes to the Sadhu the four elements of Fire, Air, Earth and Water and the fifth element of the ethereal, the force that pervades everything and is provided and enhanced by the charas smoke. When all five are in perfect harmony, as they can be with the chillum, then the user can expect an encounter with God and a bit more enlightenment afterwards.

Chillum Etiquette

With such a potentially important meeting on the cards its similarly important that one is properly prepared before smoking a chillum and for the Sadhu this means a shit and a shower!

Correct preparation before smoking a Chillum is essential

Rising at 4am a Sadhu first has a shit and then a snan (a bath or shower) before ‘ashing up’. For some this meant a daily trip to the edge of the Ganga river to do both, but more oft it meant use of a toilet before squatting under a cold tap and then smearing their entire body in ash. After this they are ready to present themselves before God and so sit by the Dunhi to dry and smoke their first chillum.

So before we could join them we too had to take a shit and snan! We fortunately avoided the need to smear ourselves in ash and were also able to use a towel; but it was after all the Sadhu’s number one rule: No Snan, No Chillum! So after a cold shower at 4am on a foggy January morning on the Sangum, We needed a chillum!

Making a chillum

1) Cigarette Choice and Preparation
Making a chillum correctly is most important and the first step is cigarette choice. For most Sadhu’s unfiltered ‘Cavenders’ is the prefered choice for others it’s Navy Cut, commonly referred to as ‘Wills’ (the makers) and for others it’s Gold Flake (another brand made by Wills.)

Full Tar or more concerned about the cyanide content?

It can get a bit confusing so we found it always best to have a packet of each to hand. However we also found this local brand on sale for those with a less well developed sense of taste but a great sense of humour!

Once you have decided which brand to use you need to toast it. This can be done by running a lighter or match along the length of the cigarette whilst turning it.

The purpose of toasting is to dry the tobacco and to remove or reduce the nicotine and any chemical additives from the cigarette, thus making it less harmful. Once toasted the cigarette is opened and the dried tobacco removed.

2) Adding the Charas (Spirit)
Sadhus are renunciates, they have renounced everything so apart from their loin cloth, beads and mobile phone they carry very little else. That little that they do carry is precious to them and none more so than any charas! For Sadhu’s keep their charas tucked away in their babba bag (colouful shoulder/handbag) and only ever break enough off for a chillum. They have good reason too as pulling out a big lump will result in a dozen hands wishing to examine it and after they have the lump will not be quite so large! So a Sadhu only ever takes out what is needed for a chillum, a pea/bean sized ball! This is now warmed using a match. If the Charas is soft enough (cream) then it is squashed flat and mounted onto the dead end of a match before being warmed with the flame of another match. If the Charas is hard it is held between two matches used like chopsticks and then warmed with the flame of another match. Once warmed the charas is dropped into and quickly crumbled/mixed in with the dry tobbacco.

3) Filling the Chillum (Earth)
Ideally the tobacco mix should be in the cup of one hand and before filling the chillum one should check that the stone is in place; less the mix ends up on the floor. If all is correct then the chillum is first rotated once about the mix in an anti-clockwise direction and then filled. The rotation is performed for spiritual/religious purposes; for one is about to move towards God.
4) The Saffi: (Water)
Now filled the chillum is almost ready to smoke; what remains to be done is to wrap a small piece of moistened cheap thin cloth about the bottom. For this purpose a roll of bandage is ideal and well worth having handy since Saffi is often in short supply and a bit of a personal thing. For hygiene is important to the Sadhu’s who have long recognized the mouth as a mechanism for passing on ailments (i.e. TB). Thus in Sadhu society, as in India in general, the mouth is considered dirty to everyone except it’s owner. Once something has touched your mouth it cannot then be touched by another’s mouth: thus your Saffi is for your use only.

However necessity is the mother of invention and rules are only rules when you have the luxury to obey them. Such was the frequency that Saffi run out at the Kumbh Mela that a group of strangers would be faced with having to share one or go without a smoke of cream!

5) Lighting the Chillum (Fire)
Having mixed and built the chillum it is the norm for you to offer it to the most senior Sadhu present or the owner of the Dunhi if you are unsure of who that is. Your chillum will then be taken and either started or handed to someone else to start. Hopefully you will actually get to see it again but that is not always the case. A second person now lights the chillum using two matches. Alternatively a burning ember or coal from the fire may be placed on top and then discarded once the chillum is lit.

6) Smoking the Chillum (Air)
The chillum is now or should be passed in an anti-clockwise direction which should similarly mirror the seniority of the people present but invariable it does not and so the chillum may well zig-zag it’s way around. In such cases it is easy for it to pass you by but should it not, then on recipient first wrap your own Saffi cloth about the bottom, cup the hands about the chillum, empty the lungs and raise the cupped hands to the mouth. The first draw should be to check the chillum is burning; it’s largely a ‘cigar pull’; so just into the mouth. If this is good then empty the lungs again and take a full deep inhale. If you did everything correctly then you should have united the five elements and be on your way to a higher state of being!

Sadhu Science and Jet Engines (aka chillum mechanics)

selling chillums just isn’t as much fun as using them

In addition to the esoteric logic theres some good sound engineering behind a well made chillum but finding one is not an easy task. Most traditional Indian chillums, like the one on sale at the Kumbh Mela and available all over India are cheap and poorly made. Whilst adequate they lack some of finesse of a modern chillum. In particular these type of chillums don’t come with a purposely made stone and it is the norm for the buyer to fashion his own stone crudely out of a piece of Indian brick, which is soft and easily ground into shape. It is possible to make a good stone from an Indian brick but because of it’s softness it will quickly shrink and fall deeper into the chillum necessitating frequent replacements.

Modern chillums by comparison are longer and come with a purposely made stone that is hard. Ideally the chillum and stone should be perfectly matched. The stone should fit snugly into the chillum (it should not rattle) and go only so deep as to provide enough room at the top of the chillum for a one cigarette mix. Thus the stone is the most important component of the chillum with a well married stone acting like the turbine of a jet engine, compressing the smoke and leading to a smoother experience (well that’s the theory)

The Original Rocket / Jet Engine

A Smoother Smoke (the path to paradise?)

You might wonder why compressing the smoke improves the experience but in doing so the temperature of the smoke is raised (Boyles Law) and this heat is transferred to both the stone and the chillum. When the smoke exits the stone at the bottom into the open chamber below it expands rapidly and cools.

The relationship between temperature and pressure (Boyle’s Law) courtesy of NASA

During the compression process the smoke transfers more heat to the stone and the chillum than it would have were it not compressed and thus the smoke is subsequently cooler, smother and easier to inhale (so a bit of good and free advice to Bill Clinton there; must email him with it). However it is perhaps this wonderful public domain animation by NASA that demonstrates the principle perfectly of the theory behind the chillum: the original rocket engine.

With a chillum the compression of the smoke is achieved by the stone. As the smoke is pulled down the conical clay tube it is ‘squeezed’ by the flutes on the side of the stone increasing the pressure and temperature.

The better fitting the stone the better this compression making the stone the most important component of the chillum.

Other methods such as grooved stones increase the surface area exposed to the smoke and spiraled rather than straight flutes extend the length of the path; but it’s the original, hexagon stone that in our opinion works best and is the easiest to clean!

Chillum Cleaning and Maintenance.

Just as the Sadhu likes to keep himself clean so he likes to keep his chillum clean and after every use it and the stone are cleaned with a cloth. The usual method is to wipe the stone clean and then to thread a long strip of cloth through the chillum. One end of the cloth is then held taught between the toes and the other is pulled taught by a hand. With the chillum threaded onto this cloth it is then, with the free hand, rubbed and twisted vigorously up and down the taught cloth in an action reminiscent of masturbating. However not only are Sadhu’s celibates who don’t masturbate but the trained eye can spot the difference. (Plus Indian men are just not that well endowed. ref: BBC)

The Next Kumbh Mela (and Chillum event)

Sardu’s Chilling at The Dunni following the last bath

Although it will be another 12 years before the Kumbh Mela returns to the Sangum the festival is held every three years at four different sites. So another Kumbh and a chance to join in with one of the Worlds oldest religious gatherings and chillum smoking festivals will occur at Ujain in Jan 2016.

Not so Soft or Secret Communications

Posted on May 14, 2013 by GreenMan-23

Well fate will have it that this week you get two for the price of one. After Busting open the Sri Yantra and likely your head trying to understand it we go back to the more mundane reality of easier reading…. and ranting. Yes Greenman-23 is back!

For we have a story to tell, one which reaches back to India and that time after leaving Gujarat. For Femininized was not the only thing I wrote at that time. I also wrote a light hearted piece on the Chillum.

It was a light and amusing piece on the use of the Chillum by the Sadhu’s. However before I posted it to the blog I thought I’d see if I could sell it. I needed cash at that point and it was something I thought might appeal to High Times or Soft Secrets. That was back in early March. I sent a .pdf copy to both High Times and Soft Secrets and a week or so later Soft Secrets replied wanting the article.

Fantastic I thought so I replied inquiring as to what they wanted to pay, and was more than happy with the reply. Soft Secrets pay 150 Euro per 1000 words. Now that’s good money. So sure they can have it.

They wanted the original images and the text in MS.dos. So I emailed them the images and the text in ms.dos, .odt (open office) and even in plain text. As the images were all 12meg they couldn’t be attached to a single email but Google came to rescue and suggested I use the on line storage and file sharing facilities of google drive. Which I did.

A week later, after I had moved from Delhi to Manikaran (so up a mountain) I get a mail of Cliff, the editor saying he can’t access google drive (??) and could I use Wetransfer. I’ve never heard of Wetransfer but on line storage and file transfer facilities are two a penny nowadays. There are giggabytes of storage dedicated to me all over the place that I have no knowledge of and I trust you the reader have the same.

Unfortunately Manikaran doesn’t have the best upload connection on the planet and sending a dozen 12meg images is out of the question. However I would be back in Delhi in a few days so I advised I would, and on arrival did, transfer them by Wetransfer. When Cliff collected the files Wetransfer advised me he had done so. I clarified this and all seemed well. That was back in April and since then I returned to the UK briefly before heading out here to Morocco.

The Rif: All Quiet But Raining Heavy

By the end of April though I hadn’t heard anything from Soft Secrets and whilst they don’t pay till they publish we still needed to arrange payment details. Similarly as I am in the Rif I thought in for a penny in for a pound. Perhaps soft secrets might want an article on the current state of and prediction for this years kif crop. So on the 1st May I emailed Cliff with the following:

Hi Cliff, trust all the text, images for the chillum science piece are now with you….. when are you planning on publishing and how do you pay? I ask as I’d prefer not to receive something in the post as I don’t have a postal address.. electronic funds are much better… Also I’m in the Riff where it’s cold and wet… very wet as it has rained for the last two weeks.. it even snowed two days ago! The deep green mountains look more like a Swiss scene than a Mediterranean. So planting here has been very late…. I would have expected to see the kief getting up to my knee in places by now but in most fields it has not poked it’s head out… Feb and March were very wet apparently and so planting didn’t begin till mid April and is still going on now…. so it’s going to be a very late season this year… but potentially a very good one… if you need anything researched in this respect let me know, regards Malcolm.

Cliff replied on the 7th May with:

Hi Malcolm
I’m sorry mate but I have to ask you to send it all again, I was searching my HD but somehow couldn’t find it. please send as 1 zip by wetransfer, and nothing can go wrong ok? sorry for this mess, but its been awefully busy the past months. only clear skies now
Cliff
ps a travel report about the Riff would be welcome as well!

Well that’s great Cliff, some two months after it was all done and dusted you lose the material? And still no indication of how you intend to pay? After all it’s the cash I’m after. Well stupid is as stupid does I suppose and I can bite the bullet to a point; so I did. I don’t have a lot of storage space and two many duplicates anyway so I had deleted the temporary file on my hard drive which contained the images for the article. However the copies on google drive were still available and so I resent the links that same day (7th May) along with the following email:

Hi Cliff,

trust you got the images now from the google drive email, attached is the text in pdf, ms doc. and my personal favorite (since it doesnt line the pockets of bill gates or apple) odt open office… it has the advantage of being able to read all the others and it’s free!

you may enjoy my latest blog post too… http://w43w.com/femininized-and-other-news/

regards malcolm

So I was somewhat surprised to receive the following email from Cliff yesterday (13th May):

got it now mate, just have to collect all the images again . next time PLEASE send all by 1 zip file by WeTRansfer ok? . find attached here all papers you have to fill out , send that back to me pls with copy of ID . Cliff

This was followed just two minutes later (yes two minutes) with:

Malcolm this is taking me ages to download it all.. so please send zip by wetransfer, I dont have time for this

Cliff

Apart from thinking the obvious here I found six attachments which required printing, signing and returning by post along with copies of ID and swift numbers for bank transfer. All of which we can provide, but here in the Rif mountains that’s a headache. It is not though as big a headache as having to post them from here. Now excuse me if I sound a bit demanding here but had I had those papers in April I could have completed and posted them from London!

Now Soft Secrets wanted the article two months ago. One assumes that included an intent to pay and so would have assumed that it would have been beneficial for all parties to have sent these forms then! or are Heineken moments only something the Dutch export?

So as you can guess I was pretty pissed off. What kind of a clown was I dealing with here? I must admit I thought hard about how to proceed; 300 Euro is a handy bung but in the end I could only proceed as me and so I sent the following email earlier today:

Hi Cliff, Thanks for the mails, the comments and the attachments which as well as being most informative similarly raise a few issues.

Now with regard to the Chillum Science article I first offered this for sale back in early March . You replied March 18th with the comment “Nice article, I would like to use it in SSUK, can you send me the text and photos by seperate mail please mate”.

Which I duly did using Google Drive as the transfer mechanism. When that failed I sent them via wetransfer as requested. You may also recall that I enquired at that time about payment. You replied on the 20th advising: “that depends on the length of the article, we pay 150 euros per 1000 words. so if the artivcle is 2000 words we pay 300 euros.”

To be honest that’s a fucking good rate: I’ve been offered a lot less for a lot more in the past and could easily factor in 6 or more similar articles a year at that rate. Articles from such places as India, Nepal Morocco, Pakistan, Kashmir and Afghanistan: There are a lot of interesting places to visit which are not on the normal drug tourist trail (I.e Assam and Naggaland where they grow very good ganja). However some are dangerous and others, such as Muzzafrabad in Pakistan Kashmir are places which require special permission to enter. However I have visited many of them before and not only am I’m happy to visit them again: I want to! Don’t forget I’m also a soil scientist on a mission: I go to these places for very different reasons. Cannabis is just something I like to smoke as an epicurean, I like to smoke the dope of the region I’m in.

And that’s largely where you come in… for this is, above all is a financial arrangement. I like to see it as content creation.. you want the content and I like to think I can write it. Now you have a brief (at least I would expect you to) of what you want and why. I assume you want articles that help to sell advertising space… after all you are free .. so it’s advertising for seeds and related paraphernalia that pays the bills.

I want cash so I can travel and I’d like writing to pay for me to be in such places as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir..They are not the safest place to drink tea and smoke dope in but I like the scenic views and the people. Although I’ve had a loaded gun pointed at my head on more than one occasion now and rather surprisingly still don’t have a hole in it, I have not totally succumb to the delusion that I’m Superman. For unlike Superman I can’t suffer ‘fools’… no matter how good the money is…. or the potential for it to pay for me to go back to these countries.

Therefore if there’s going to be any writer publisher relationship here we need to get a few things straight. No point starting off on the wrong foot now is there? As my intolerance of incompetence is a big Achilles heal here and once that tendon snaps: it snaps with a bang!

Now you should have advised and attached the forms you sent yesterday back in March. Not least for the simple reason it was the right time to do it but similarly because I could have supplied those details more easily then, than I now can from Morocco.

Now the plot potentially thickens (or not) as my residential address and address as far as any tax office is concerned is in Jersey in the Channel Islands. As is my bank account. It’s an off shore tax haven outside of Europe but slap bang in the middle of it. I can’t actually afford to live there but it was were I was born and is the nearest thing I have to a home. Technically it’s my ‘ordinary’ residence but I spend the year on three different continents and am never sure where I will be in three months time.. which continent or country?… there are surprisingly a lot of possibilities when you don’t actually have any..

Similarly after deleting the files from your hard drive don’t send me a mail making out it’s my fault. It was yours. Had the files not been stored on Google Drive you would still be waiting for them now as I would need to revert to the original files to retrieve them. I have 250 gigs of on board storage so I delete the temporary files once copies have been received by the recipient. Personally I think it was good of me to have made an accessible back up for you.

So Cliff it’s like this you want the articles you can have them… you can give a brief of what you want (it actually makes life easier).

It could be a beneficial arrangement but now I’m beginning to regret not having just published the article as a blog post: which is what it started out as; because then there is no headache and this is becoming one.

So lets just cut to the chase… will there be any problem sending money to a Jersey Bank account? Similarly I carry more than one nationality, but I I don’t use them for the same things so filling in and returning all your forms from Morocco is a major headache for me.

Originally I anticipated payment within three months, had it been possible to rely on it then I would have remained in Asia. I would have gone to Pakistan then up to Peshawar. You would have got two or three articles (assuming you wanted them) from those places as 600 Euro keeps me sweet for 3 months. If that went well.. back to India, Nepal and any area you fancy an article on… but…

This is only possible if I know and can rely on the cash coming in… and I’m getting the feeling with respect to Soft Secrets that I can’t. It doesn’t matter how juicy the carrot is if I can’t get my teeth into it.

Regards, malcolm

My blunt and frank honesty though didn’t go down too well, for no sooner had Cliff read it, and no doubt bounced his head off the ceiling once or twice he replied thus:

Hi Malcolm, OK let’s forget it all together then mate. no sweat. cheers Cliff

Well obviously a hot headed Dutch man who clearly needs to change what he’s smoking. However I’m not, I just cant suffer fools so I sent the following:

Hi Cliff, If that’s how you feel….

If you decided to change to mind then let me know before the end of the week as I’ll use the material as a blog post afterwards. Given my lifestyle though, It clearly isn’t going to work without some ‘professionalism’ and appreciation of that. regards malcolm.

What Cliff fails to appreciate here is anything outside his own frame of reference. He thinks we all live like him but some of us live by the seat of our pants and it aint fun but it has it’s compensations; it makes one very self sufficient and we are our own master. So as Cliff subsequently went on to suggest in his final mail:

go ahead mate and blog post it, this is too much of a headache for me already, sorry

Your wish is my command Cliff and instead of one blog post with Chillum Science I get two with the story of Chillum Science as in the Not so Secret Communications.

As For Chillum Science I shall post that on the weekend. Not that I expect to hear from Cliff again but I wouldn’t want him to think I’m not a man of my word.

hope you enjoyed,

regards

Busting Open the Sri Yantra

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Tariqas

The Doctrine of the Trinity; The seed of the Sri Yantra?

Much of this blog, as my writings in general, are centred around the concept of the triple form; the Trinity or Trimurti. It’s a powerful concept, particularly when viewed at from a more subjective mathematical perspective. As a concept it can be found in most schools of religious philosophy, and whilst there is a perception within these schools; that the meaning of the triple form differs greatly, in truth the basic argument remains consistent with the Doctrine of the Trinity:

“That the universe as a whole can only be understood in terms of three and each of the three are similarly whole and entire.”

However the concept runs deeper, much deeper: for the three in making one, also make four’. The whole is not just the sum of the parts but is in fact a part in itself. It sounds like a contradiction, a play on words and nothing more than some whimsical metaphysical quip: but is it? Or is there some sound, deep and meaningful logic here?

Mathematics and the Trinity

The root of the problem as the resolution to it, lies in an understanding of mathematics as opposed to arithmetic, a topic covered in an earlier post. In addition we need to appreciate the historical influence of the Human condition, in particular the effect of cognitive evolution on our ability to understand the World around us. For mathematics is a relatively new development and whilst we have had the ability to count since the stone age the ability to do mathematics is but 800 and no more than 1500 years old.

What actually distinguishes mathematics from arithmetic is an appreciation of a concept arithmetic doesn’t even know exists. Arithmetic is the master of accounts and as such can only count things that are there. For arithmetic the first number, the beginning of everything is and can only be one. There is no need to account for something that is not and whilst arithmetic can handle fractions it cannot count and does not even acknowledge the concept of Zero.

It is in that context that the Trinity and the Trimurti were ‘realized’, by people who understood arithmetic but not mathematics. Hence the Zero is absent from early depictions of the Trinity. A point clearly evident if we take an historical perspective on the evolution of the Christian Trinity. For the The Shield of the Trinity or Scutum Fidei dates not from the time of Jesus but from the time Zero arrived in Europe; 13th Century AD.

The evolution of the mathematics of the Trinity.

The images above (all courtesy of Wiki Commons) show how the 13th Century begun with a Trinity absent of Zero but following, and as likely a consequence of, the Crusades ended with one.

[note: There was no such thing as Zero when either the Trinity or the Trimurti came into being; both, as with any previous interpretations, predate the realization of Zero by 500 years or more. Zero having been estimated to have been discovered no earlier than 500AD(India) before arriving in 700AD in Arabia and then in 1200AD to Europe]. source: the origin of Zero

Zero: The Essential Number, that Is Not

This may seem insignificant however Zero, is and has been essential to our technical and scientific development and understanding of the universe. For unlike arithmetic, which is simply the ability to count, mathematics is the means to understand what arithmetic is counting. So whilst arithmetic can tell you there is only one universe it’s the new comer, mathematics that can permit you to understand it. In particular what encapsulates it: what that whole is and your relationship to it.

Without Zero it is not only impossible to do mathematics but to similarly develop any of the products that rely on mathematics. Those products don’t just extend to advanced technologies like computers and satellites but also to things we imagine to be far simpler and to have been around far longer. For not only does rocket science depend on mathematics so does construction: no Zero, then no Cathedral to Zero either. For expansive tall buildings need a complex understanding of stresses and loads which themselves can only be calculated using mathematics.

The internal combustion engine, the steam engine and even the electricity supply are similarly dependent on mathematics. Thus a world without zero is a world without all the products of mathematics. A world both in a metaphorical and actual darkness.

Zero, Mathematics and the Evolution of the Trinity

Now with respect to the Trinity mathematics brings a resolution of sorts. However in order to realize that resolution we must evolve the Trinity beyond the ‘four’ of the Doctrine. Lets examine that earlier statement of the Doctrine:

“That the universe as a whole can only be understood in terms of three and each of the three are similarly whole and entire.”

If this statement is true then it should similarly be true that each component must reflect the whole in its entirety. Thus if the whole is composed of three. the parts themselves must also be composed of three? So lets progress the Trinity along these lines.

If we do then we find each part is itself composed of three and that the total number of parts, including the whole is now 13. However this does not mean the Trinity actually contains 13 ‘elements’ only that each of the three elements of the Trinity are reflected in each of those elements. We can progress this further, as in the diagram below, with each of those parts similarly being composed of three (total 40) and each of those of three (total 121). The sequence we are progressing here has the equation:

(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 1 and results in the integers 0, 1, 4, 13, 40, 121, 364,…

Fractal Infinity and the limits of Space on Growth

However if we follow this ‘logic’ we could go on ad infinitum; for we are following a route determined by arithmetic and as already expressed the resolution lies not with arithmetic but with mathematics. In theory this progression is infinite and it is as long as one applies the rules of arithmetic. However this growth, this progression of the Trinity follows a more complex mathematical sequence: one determined by the equation:

(n) = 3*a(n-1) + a(n-2). An equation that yields the integers 0(1), 1, 4, 13, 43…

Thus whilst 13 follows 4, it is not 40 that follows 13 but 43. There is similarly no outward growth after 43, there is no 142, which is what the mathematical sequence that controls this growth initially suggests. The limit is 43 and the reason for this is down to fractals and shape. We can however get a clue from the progression as drawn below. Note that the first diagram is repeated in centre of the last.

Whilst these are simple diagrams they are not similarly representative of simplistic concepts. Instead what we find is that we have arrived at a mathematical representation of a progressed Trinity that is not too dissimilar to a Sierpinski triangle, a mathematically generated pattern [fractal] that can be reproducible at any magnification or reduction (the part and the whole are equal?).

Sierpinski triangle

Strictly speaking however the Sierpinski triangle is better represented by the earlier sequence than by the second. However the Sierpinski triangle and fractal mathematics in general offer a resolution to the Doctrine of the Trinity and how the parts can be as ‘whole and entire’ as the Whole itself. Both the first sequence (n = 3*(n-1) + 1) and the Sierpinski triangle are potentially infinite. Their growth is continuous and unchanging. In the second sequence ([n] = 3*a[n-1] + a[n-2]) the growth is not.

At the ’40th’ step the first Tetragrammaton is recreated; bring the total number of components to 43. The universe is complete for the whole has manifest into itself.. Whilst not a good link, since it is very early work on this, my old google pages from 2006 offer some insight as to why the growth stops at 43.

However these images, taken from those pages perhaps convey the reasoning far better than words can. Here we see an illustration of the original ‘three’ created at the 40th step: at the point at which the growth of the first step meets itself.

In one sense the universe simply runs out of space and ends up ‘meeting’ itself at 40. That meeting re-creates the original Trinity. The original Tetragrammaton manifests inside itself, Thus the First is also the Last: and in being so it brings the total number of components to 43. However The Significance of 43 cannot be realized properly without another piece of mathematics, one that dates back to the time Zero was first realized; the 6th to 8th Century.

The Sri Yantra or Sri Chakra of Sharda.

The Sri Chakra of Sharda, also and better known in India as the Sri Yantra, is a diagram of Kashmir Shaivism that dates back to the 8th Century. It is believed to have originated at the University of Sharda in the Neelam valley of Kashmir. It is further regarded as the Chakra Raja (King of Chakras) and is thus the supreme instrument in the path of spiritual advancement.

Described by the Kashmiri pandit and historian, Brigadier Rattan Kaul as ‘one central basic point that represents the core of the whole cosmos; 3 circles around it and 4 gates to enter, with 43 triangles shaping the corners’ The first representation of The Sri Chakra was carved onto jade around the 8th Century but disappeared after going on a tour of India in the 12th Century.

Little however is actually known about it’s origin but it remains and forms a significant component in our story. Much of our personal belief in the significance of the Sri Chakra originates from the journey we embarked upon in 2004/2005. That journey, which led me to Sharda, was initiated by another diagram, one unconnected with theology and created out of a desire to create a model of the components responsible for soil fertility. That model grew according to the integers 4, 13, 40: generating the same pattern as for the progressed Trinity and causing a massive Kundalini release. The story of that journey is told in the book Connectivity.

Whilst on that journey I encountered Brig. Rattan’s writings and we recognized his description of the Sri Chakra. We believed then as we still do today that both the Sri Chakra and our Di-functional Modeling of Soil Fertility (see below) were related. It has though taken us a considerable amount of time to understand the full extent of that relationship and not least because of a fundamental error I made early on. In Brig K Rattan’s description he identified a central core surrounded by four gates, three circles and 43 triangles.

What he didn’t identify is that description actually describes a construction that begins from the outside and works its way in. Whereas I interpreted it as describing a construction that begun from the centre and worked it’s way out. It was a significant oversight from my perspective for it resulted in the following visual interpretation and the incorrect assumption that the integers 1, 4, 3, 43 referred to the integers of the evolutionary sequence (n) = 3*a(n-1) + a(n-2) but carried an error. I had suspected that the 3 should have been 13. Thus we constructed the Sri Chakra ‘inside out’.

However despite believing that the integers 1, 4, 3, 43 referred to the sequence 1,4,13,43 we drew our interpretation according to Brig K Rattan’s account, with three circles. The error was only corrected at Allahabad in the last week of December 2012: some 6/7 years later after meeting an Australian academic by the name of Sarabhang Giri. It is only though in hindsight that I am aware of the significance of Sarabhang Giri.

A man who I first encountered at the opening ceremony of the Kumbh Mela at Allahabad on the 18th of December 2012. Unfortunately I did not seek him out and was not to encounter him again until the 25th December, a few hours before I was to board a train for Delhi. I had waited for over 2 years for this ‘event’. I had kept myself out of India (a condition) yet had remained focused on this point and place in time and space.

Sarabhang Giri on his way to achieving Moksha (liberation) . Taken after the final bath, Kumbh Mela 2013.

However I had become disillusioned and frustrated in those first few weeks. My ‘enthusiasm’ had at that point worn me out. I had been searching but as I wasn’t sure of what it was I was searching for I was over analyzing everything. So much so that I was now contemplating abandoning the path altogether.

In one last ditch attempt I had returned to the Mela grounds; it was Christmas eve. However before I could progress into the grounds I was ‘collared’ by a resident Sadhu at a temple at the entrance. We were then joined by another young Sadhu, who I would later come to know as Gorvinda Nan Giri, before another Sadhu spotted and called over another passing Sardhu: Sarabhang Giri.

The Sri Yantra / Sri Chakra

As the sun set the conversation I had with Sarabhang Giri encouraged me to miss my train and accept Gorvinda’s offer to stay at his camp in Juna Akhara. Although I still left and returned to Delhi on the 31st December I did so only after having had several extensive conversation with Sarabhang Giri. Conversation in which I was to quote Brig Rattan’s description of the Sri Chakra, a description he immediately identified as the Sri Yantra.

Although I only remained for one more week, for I returned to Delhi on New Years eve, my conversation with Sarabhang Giri changed everything. Not only had I identified my error but I had, as I was soon to work out, resolved another part of puzzle.For the Sri Yantra was not only a diagram of the cosmos, of the mechanisms of the ‘constructed universe’ but also where that universe was to be found.

The Sri Chakra above is similar but not as complex as that for the Sri Yantra below. In the above interpretation the 9 interlocking triangles which form the 43 smaller ones are surrounded by three circles and encased inside a square with a gate in each side.

As with the Sri Yantra, the 43 triangles are representative of the entire cosmos within the womb of the universe. A womb bound by three circles and four gates. The Sri Yantra below has in addition two rows of 8 and 16 lotus petals respectively, placed within the three circles; an aspect missing from Brig Rattan’s description.

Not withstanding that the petals may well have been an aspect of the original Sri Chakra (Sri Yantra) we have chosen to omit them at this point. For their significance and interpretation are unknown to us. The three circles and four gates however are analogous to the three symmetry breaks and the four forces that provided the conditions suitable for the evolution of the universe within. A universe that can be organized using Di-Functional Modeling (DFM).

Kali and Me standing in the ruins of the Kumbh Mela?

I busied myself over the next two weeks extracting and copying work from my PC to paper before ,on the 17th January 2013, returning to the Mela grounds. Although I remained until the end, until after the final bath and torrential down pour that followed it and destroyed the Kumbh, I failed to find anyone with whom I could progress the concepts further.

It is somewhat ironic that ever since our original journey we have actually been aware of these two threads. Their evolution is well document in the original story of Connectivity, in the old google pages and in the early animated videos on youtube.

We have documented them all along the way but had not been able to marry them into one until that meeting and conversation with Sarabhang Giri. That simple error that resulted in ‘inverting’ the Sri Chakra had prevented me from properly interpreting what the lights had been trying to communicate. Something we hope we can now do.

For if the Sri Yantra is what I believe it to be, then it is a 1200 year old diagram that communicates an understanding of this universe that exceeds that of the most advanced minds in physics today. Or, ss the adage goes:

“Every time a scientist climbs a mountain he finds two philosophers having a cup of tea at the summit”

The Atma and The lesson of The Lights.

The atma and origin of the Universe

The Atma, The Atom, or perhaps more correctly the proton is the ‘shell’ that permits the manifestation of zero. It is within the ‘emptiness’ the ‘womb’ that creation can manifest.

However the story is a little more complex for the proton is not only the ‘womb’ of the Universe but a womb that lies within the Universe it contains: For One is folded into the other.

Thus the biggest thing, the universe itself, is contained within the smallest thing in itself: proton.

The part is thus as complete and entire as the whole and thus it could be argued that at its greatest extremes, between the proton and the universe,

The Doctrine of the Trinity is proved by The Sri Chakra of Sharda.

This play list below was my earliest attempt to make sense of the events, particularly those that occurred at Lake Pushkar in February 2005. It is only now that I can finally understand what those lights were communicating. The later video series, Aum to Allah, made to record the events of the autumn of 2008 explores this concept further. However whilst it contains the answer it is not itself the answer: just a means to realize it.

The Cosmos and Di-Functional Modeling

The cosmos complete!

Di-Functional Modeling, a concept that emerged out of a desire to design a modeling system that I could use to manage sustainable projects is what started and is what will end this journey for me: It’s manifestation.

Everything I have done, worked and still work towards is to promote, share and see this concept manifest completely: then,from a given perspective at least, Heaven, Paradise, Nirvana, what ever you wish to call it will have descended.

I will and have written more on this. In particular Persephone habitat and soil management was created for this purpose. For it is a site dedicated to providing the blue print on which to build YOUR PARADISE!. This last video is from a play list called the solar village. It is the last of that play list.

Femininized and other News

Posted on May 5, 2013 by moderator

A New Chapter?

The Mod

First off; apologies for not posting anything sooner, but since my last post from Delhi I’ve been a little busy. Apart from the fact that we seem to have lost some direction, we are similarly at or at least feel we are at a crossroads; or perhaps ‘T’ junction. Either way we have reached the end of one road and must turn onto another. Thus we are about to try and shift our approach.

In many ways the Kumbh Mela was all about doing just that. It was one of those points in time where we were going to shed some weight.

For the last few years we have ‘man hauled’ a conceptually large and one could argue heavy ‘object’: an obligation, a promise, and the Kumbh Mela was where that obligation and relationship was to change. Chains were broke, and ‘freedom’ taken…

Perhaps freedom had always been there and rather like the caged bird I had just stared at the open door for the last three years… For Hardiwar, three years ago, a story recounted in God or Family, a clash of appointments, was most likely the point at which the door opened.

For Haridwar was where the ‘loop’ was closed where the truth was finally realized, the spiral ended and the Universe folded into itself. My subsequent attempts to leave the Kumbh at Allahabad with anything tangible, principally the contacts in Gujarat, were thus doomed and crashed pretty much immediately. Something recounted in the post every cloud has a silver lining. As I waited for the train the birds came and danced in the skies above. I had got the release I wanted, the release I had come for; so why prolong the process and the agony?

Chillum Science to Femininized: Writing ourselves out of a Hole

So after Gujarat I busied myself writing and having spent long enough on the Sangum to have become a Sadhu I felt more than acquainted with the Chillum and the reason why Sadhu’s smoke it so much. Thus we knocked together a short article called ‘Chillum Science’. A light hearted piece on the Sadhu and the Chillum which I have hopefully sold to soft secrets, the on-line and free weed magazine. Once it’s published I’ll get paid and will similarly post a link.

Femininized: The Fool and the Wise Man, a book by Malcolm McEwen

This though wasn’t the only thing I wrote. I also banged out the first part in a trilogy called “Femininized”. Although I uploaded and released a kindle version whilst in India I have yet to sell a single copy. So if anyone fancies being the first to buy it and even review it, heres the link.

As my India visa expired at the end of April I needed to leave. I had hoped to remain, to move my flight forward 4 months, then cross over to Pakistan for a couple of months before returning. However whilst I will eventually receive payment from Soft Secrets and could have written another article for them from Pakistan, my funds at the time and still are limited. In order to remain in Asia I would have needed to rely on getting paid by soft secrets: if it fell through then I risked being in the proverbial. Thus I left India on the 16th and whilst I returned briefly to the UK I flew on to Fez in Morocco on the 21st April.

Crossing Continents

After spending a few days in Azila, Ketama, where I visited a friend and which incidentally was looking particularly beautiful, I moved on down to Chef Chaouen; where I have been since the 24th. It transpired though to be a wise move as the weather changed markedly with a lot of cold rain and even snow falling until a few days ago. So whilst sat waiting for the rain to end I updated my Youtube channel adding a new header and as Google keep harassing me to do so changing my channel title to reflect my birth name. Perhaps we are slowly becoming one again? As for the beauty that is Azila; a picture of this beautiful place:

Not the Mighty Boosh

Despite the weather it has though been getting quite surreal here in Chef Chaouen… When we arrived the place was all but empty and whilst the staff have been busy decorating the rooms over the last two weeks we have similarly seen a eclectic set of tourists pass through.

It all begun with the Forest of Dean crew… two of them were here at the time I arrived but departed a day later. One, Dave(?) was leaving, returning to the UK and the other, Matt was meeting two friends arriving in Fez on the flight Dave was leaving on. Matt was planning on bringing them back up few a few days; and he did.

Sultan or Zultan as he called himself also arrived. A self styled New York rapper who had converted to Islam; Zultan was, to put it succinctly confused; very confused. A large and fit man who chose to perform ‘prison cell’ exercise routines in public before trying to almost bully everyone into reading the Qu’ran. He then went on to express such a degree of ignorance one could be forgiving for believing Islam was just the biggest gang after the State. For Zultan was clearly a child of the American gang culture.

He claimed to have traveled much of the US but had more recently spent time in both Syria and Yemen, places he had enjoyed, largely it seemed because everyone there carried a gun. Zultan was clearly on a mission and whilst he claimed it to be one for Islam, it was not an Islam I recognized. This was a disenchanted boy from the Bronx looking for superman. His constant references to gays, guns and god turned him into the confused conservative nightmare he was.

What though was truly scary about Zultan, was that he hadn’t actually read the Qu’ran and appeared to have excused himself from doing so under the belief that only a few were capable of interpreting it. His potted and inaccurate knowledge of history and reference to youtube videos as proof exposed the ease at which he could be manipulated and so I took the opportunity to remind him that the Qu’ran was a book for the whole of Mankind. According to his own rhetoric of Divine origin, so surely I argued the Divine would not hide the meaning from the masses? Contrary to his indoctrination every man and woman can and should interpret the Qu’ran for themselves. For anyone to say otherwise is for that person to put themselves between the believer and the God and even a prophet cannot do that!

Zultan was though composed of many contradictions. He argued for no sex before marriage but when questioned over his own sexual past was more than a little coy. Similarly he took the ultra orthodox view that music was bad yet engaged in perhaps it’s most violent and aggressive manifestation, Rap: for Zultan was a rapper as the video below demonstrates.

Zultan was, as one suspects with many American ‘converts’, not attracted to Islam by the beliefs and teachings of Muhammad but by the beliefs of American politics and media. He was I would aver seduced by how Islam is portrayed by the American media: as the only gang capable of threatening Uncle Sam’s gang, rather than how Islam is: a religion of peace and tolerance. Hopefully Zultan will find this out before it’s too late. In that respect I gave him a reference to read, the book by Martin Lings on the Life of Muhammad which can also be found in the bad links page along with a link to a download.

As we said in our opening paragraph, we are in a transitional mode; we are evolving and so will this blog and our other web interests. So on that we will call on some retro punk ska from the French band Ya Basta to finish. They played here in a free concert last night and went down very well.

Every cloud has a silver lining

Posted on March 8, 2013 by moderator

Every cloud has a silver lining ; or so they say…

We though here tend to disagree and would generally subscribe more to the concept that no good can come from an evil act. Thus the silver lining and the cloud are not as the phrase and post title implies actually connected: at least not directly. There is though the obvious connecting aspect: the person or persons experiencing the cloud and the silver lining. So the connection is subjective; less one persons cloud is balanced by another persons silver lining: or to put it another way, my loss is your gain… oh what a just and fair World that is! One that advocates and promotes theft. However we are digressing here and perhaps being a bit extreme; for we are angry; very angry.

Al Kahdir and who we are…

One of us here calls himself Tariqas Al Kahdir; a name that translates as path of the Greenman: the teacher of the prophets and the friend of God. He is an interesting character, the wayward saint who scuttles ships and murders children (Surat 18: the Cave). He is similarly not afraid to tell anyone to FUCK-OFF! That anyone in particular being Moses, avered by the Quran to have been the wisest of prophets… Interesting that Islam regards a Jew as the wisest, a Jew who like Al Kahdir had blood on his hands. For it was murder that led to Moses being cast out of the Egyptian Royal House. At this point it is perhaps good to iterate that we have not ourselves committed any murders; and although we would aver that we have had great cause to: we have resisted. Our main connection with Al Kadhir is however that he, like us, possessed ‘special knowledge’ of the Creation.: because we really fucking do!

Greenman-23

Another, the one who perhaps reflects us in our entirety best calls himself Greenman-23. It is a name he has used for more than ten years and for which an explanation can be found on the why 23 page. He calls himself the Anarchist Garden and has been developing the concept of Guerrilla Soil Science: a means by which he had hoped to bring sustainability to other peoples land. However it has to be said that every time he finds what seems to be an opportunity it does little more than consume time and frustrate. For some unknown reason people think its great that he is prepared to help qualify the state of the fertility of their land and then to offer advice on how to improve it; but then…. they stop him actually making any analysis!

We suspect that reconnaissance soil sampling; a means to approximately assess the state of land in order to determine a more specific strategy is what trips them up.. they don’t understand how these well developed techniques work: it makes no sense to people who are very very ignorant. Some are very well educated but not in things that matter.

Similarly, and this is perhaps more relevant to our most recent ‘failure’ is the idea that we like being paraded: that not only have we come to do some free consultancy but that we also wish to be presented to a plethera of people who have no interest in us (a position we often mirror), and speak not a word of fucking English. The hours we find ourself wasting sat somewhere like a stuffed doll for the entertainment of idiots. Lets be blunt here: we are not a sociable creature.. not one of us. We like our own company more than anything else and in general we suffer others for we find most people boring and lacking in both imagination or foresight.

The immortal curse.

For Al Kadhir this was to accidentally drink from the waters of life and thus to gain immortality. It is one of the great contradictions in Islam which states emphatically none shall escape death or subsequent judgment. Al Kadhir is thus the unluckiest of men, for immortality is nothing less than a curse. It was perhaps why he was so wayward; trapped as we so often feel we are, on a ship of fools and I would aver having drunk from such a vile source that Al Khadir felt as we do: a little betrayed by a God whom he thought regarding him as a friend.

The Kumbhr Mela; our last stand.

In our Kumbhr Mela post we averred that we didn’t know why we had come and to a degree that was true: for we didn’t. However we similarly knew that this was the end of a road. An end because we can’t continue to walk it. We didn’t know how that end would be only that is was an end. We went with three objectives in that respect, the end of us (release for I), the end of the World (release for us all) or change: the end of this struggle.

Since neither of the first two possibilities were realized we were left with the third and in that respect we had hoped to forge links and finally get to work on building sustainable agricultural systems.. As dogs like to bark and hens scratch so we like to investigate, explore and design complex sustainable systems… Perhaps their is just too much interest in soil chemistry, microbial dynamics and soil hydrology and like media studies or India’s favorite qualification, the MBA it is a field that is over subscribed.

However we all know that that is not the case and in truth not only are the 70% of India’s population that rely on the land ignorant of sustainability and the fact that they are not achieving it they are in all probability not really interested and would prefer to put all their failures down to the idea that this is the age of Kali Yoga and it is thus meant to go tits up.

The truth is that all our woes are in fact generated by ourselves: we live in Kali Yoga because we chose to live in it and it will continue until such time as we chose otherwise. For Kali Yoga is not ended by any act of God but by the realization of Mankind: We have the means but are completely devoid of the will to use them. In some respects the Kumbh Mela typified this for only one (or was it four) were actually their for more than themselves. Everyone else had hoped to achieve Mocsha or to use an apt English adage “I’m al’right Jack; bugger you!”

As for that realization it is one that is well ‘illuminated’ by an old Chinese parable where a man is taken during a dream to visit hell and then heaven. On reaching hell he is taken through the gates and into a large dining hall with tables laden with fine foods. Around which the condemned sit but all are starving. On enquiring as to why they are all starving with so much food in front of them the dreamer is told that they must eat with 12ft chop sticks.

The dreamer is then taken to heaven where he is presented with an identical scene, a long dining hall and a table laden with fine foods. Only here all the ‘saved’ are well fed and jovial. The dreamer then assumes that here they do not eat with 12ft chop sticks but is told otherwise: no says his guide the rules here are the same as in hell only here they chose to feed each other… Thus the difference between the ages of Kali and the Golden age are nothing more than the realization by the condemned: Share for Fuck sakes and save yourself!

The Silver lining….

Now its uploaded I share the display I witnessed above the train station of Ahmedabad whilst I waited for my 11pm train. I had waited all day, from 8am having made an early exit from the people I had come to see. Why? because they were under the impression that I did not require sleep and that I enjoyed being paraded. Thus it was not until I boarded that train at 11pm that I ended a period of 40 hours awake.

one last thing… I may yet delete this post since it has been written whilst feeling very very dejected…
