Writer's Digest says, "Like Einstein, With wants to discover a grand unified theory...she is trying to unify physics and metaphysics. Like Einstein, she uses thought experiments to push her mind and ours into new territory. The result is a rich stew of science, mathematics, spirituality, inspiration and evocative speculation that can't help but make us think about things in new ways. Clear, straightforward and energetic."

1 The Nature of Afterlife

It is not unusual for those who have passed into Afterlife to communicate with those who remain focused on the physical world. This isn't hard to understand if you consider that, at this very moment, a part of your energy, even as you're experiencing physical life, exists in Afterlife and is subject to the laws of Afterlife, as I am now. But because your physical existence is dependent on being focused so intently on physical reality, you convince yourself that this other part of you doesn't exist, merely because you are not conscious of it yet.

Those of us "on the other side" experience things quite differently. We see ourselves as just like you, beings of energy, but we have merely lost our focus on ordinary matter. This does not mean that the world of matter does not exist for us. We just experience it in a different way: your hard reality is like a dream to us, and your dreams and imagination are the interface where we meet and work.

Consider this: only about 5% of the Universe is made up of what is called "ordinary matter." That is the stuff of the hard objects of your body, the table, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, etc. That leaves approximately 95% of the Universe unaccounted for. In my day we called it "ether." Today's scientists call it "dark matter" and "dark energy." Dark matter has no light within it; it can only be detected by its gravitational waves. This is the matter of Afterlife and the energy of consciousness.

Your physical body is indeed your temple, where during the course of a lifetime knowledge of your empirical experiences compiles in your cells as photons of information. These photons are the quantum of the electromagnetic energy of your consciousness. They contain all the "if P then Qs" of what took place in your life. Every decision that you make during the course of your lifetime has a math. When you decide to turn right instead of left, say yes instead of no, sit still instead of move forward, you create a living mathematics, a series of formulas that then determines the direction of your life. This math is embedded into a unit of consciousness, called a "compilation" and stored in the photons that become the sum of this knowledge and the basis of your identity.

A compilation of consciousness has zero mass and an infinite lifetime.At 10^-100 a compilation emits gravitational waves that pulse through dark energy and incite dark matter to cluster. How your consciousness experiences itself, both in life and after the death of the physical body, is determined by the math of these gravitational waves.

The gravity of your consciousness is indeed a compilation. Its math consists of a combination of the math of Earth's gravitational waves, the math you bring with you into physical life, the empirical experience you compile while creating a physical body, and what consciousness is focused on at the point when the physical body dies. What you are focused on and the memories and emotions of your physical life become like a negative of a photograph with a map of your identity. This map is imprinted on the gravitational waves of your consciousness and determines how the dark matter will cluster once your physical body dies. Therefore, the quality of the life you live will determine the condition of your death.

2 The Manifestation of Matter

Compassion

So what does excite the singularity deep in the Void to divide and pulsate, sending a gravitational wave that leads to the creation of matter as well as human life? If this mysterious unobservable source of creation is so indescribable, how can we talk of it? What questions can we ask of it?

I would like to make a bit of an unorthodox suggestion. In my day, scientists could not use love in an equation; however, I am suggesting calling this urge to create "compassion." Science has rarely explored compassion because of its subjective appearance. Therefore, let us redefine compassion in a not-quite-so-subjective way.

Let's go to the root of the word, "compass." Further examination reveals some interesting analogies.

Circles

To begin with, a compass is a device with two arms used for drawing circles, one arm anchored in the center, freeing the other to pivot and create the physical manifestation of the circle. Therefore, compassion is the mechanism that allows consciousness to freely manifest matter in physical reality on Earth while remaining anchored in the Void through the use of circular gravitational waves radiating from the point of origin.

Compassion incites consciousness to produce a specific, separate circular domain with finite boundaries and unique spacetime coordinates that is the realm of your free will and subjective experience. This separate, specific domain created by compassion operates exactly like the planet Earth.

Earth sends out gravitational waves from its core. As those waves travel outward, they become more and more like particles. When they eventually reach the surface of the planet, they manifest into ordinary matter: trees, oceans, mountains, humans. They continue outward until they reach the outer parameters of the electromagnetic field that is the boundary of the planet. This field is cocooning the Earth, protecting the atmosphere from the fierce solar winds sweeping towards us from the sun. At that juncture, the gravitational waves are then swept up into the electromagnetic field, reenter the Earth and are brought back to the core, only to radiate outward again. This repetitive flow of electromagnetic energy makes up the essence of all ordinary matter that exists on the planet.

In the same way, your specific, spherical domain of consciousness radiates with gravitational waves programmed with your own specific DNA. These waves travel from your core outward, becoming more like particles as they near the surface, until they become the material essence of your physical body as well as the nature of your consciousness. They continue outward beyond the boundary of your physical body, only to be swept upward and back into your domain, traveling into your core only to flow outward again.

Within your domain are also created more contiguous circular regions of spontaneous electromagnetization that define the boundaries of the hard objects of ordinary matter that you are able to perceive. These are the circular strings quantum physicists can now perceive at 10^-35. Like leaves blowing in the wind, they reveal the existence of these waves of compassion and consciousness emanating from the Void.

The circle indicates infinity. Because of this infinite nature of compassion, consciousness can form, construct and create energy into matter and back again, again and again without end. Compassion is regeneration.

True North

A compass is also an instrument that defines geographical direction using electromagnetic fields that provoke a needle to align with the electromagnetic field of the Earth. So consider compassion to be the electromagnetic field emanating from a mysterious point of origin that provokes consciousness to align with the electromagnetic field of Earth in order to define which spacetime the emerging human domain will experience. Compassion aligns your consciousness to true north on the Earth, setting up the reference frame for your observer. North on a compass resides at 0 degrees. Compassion is 0 degrees of separation from the source. Compassion and the source end up being one and the same.

If 0 degrees indicates the source, then 180 degrees indicates the manifestation of physical matter. The closer to 0 degrees energy is, the less matter it possesses and the more it behaves like a wave; the closer to 180 degrees, the more it behaves like a particle and the more solid it becomes.

Compassion is also the self-awareness on the parts of the whole that they all originate from the same singularity, as well as the compass that guides consciousness through the dark matter when there is no physical body.

This mysterious source that we will call compassion is the foundation of life. It's the strong nuclear force in the space between the particles of consciousness inciting them to regenerate into one form or another. It's the dark energy of Afterlife and the imagination of ordinary matter. Just sitting in that chair, right now, doing nothing, compassion is inciting your consciousness to create matter. Your inner gravity is determining which particular spacetime you are experiencing, and with your unique fingerprint of DNA you are anchored on the Earth as well as in the Void. You are at once the source of creation, the observer of the creation, and the lens from which to view the creation. Humanity is truly a unique, miraculous physical manifestation of the eternal circle of life.

Compassion contains all the knowledge possible to know. The Void, where all this knowledge exists in the nothingness, is where this mysterious, compassionate song of creation begins.
