Jean Metzinger - La Femme au Cheval

According to sages there are two obstacles to overcome before one reaches awakening: space and time. This page is dedicated to resolving the mystery of how individual consciousness can free itself from the confinement of the dimensional frame and experience higher realities, eventually being absorbed in the only reality, which is free from any traces of illusory appearances, and find absolute truth.

​

These two obstacles (space and time) give the frame of this material.

First we reverse-engineer the cognition of space, not by dissecting the brain and categorizing neurotransmitters, but through understanding embodied cognition. 

Second we inspect the 3 internal rhythms of our subjective time: Breath, Heartbeat and pulsations of the fluid inside the spine (CSF). 

​

We intend to create a base of knowledge and thought experiments, which are designed not to fortify, but to calm and dissolve the intellectual mind in order to help it to surrender. To experience truth, not to think about it, because truth is a state, not a statement.
 

The aim is not to stay solely on the intellectual level, but also to investigate the methods and practical applications of detaching from space and time, using various techniques (taijiquan, yoga, meditation, sound, breathing); and to give a comprehensive guide on what to do, and more importantly why to do it.

​

The title refers to the classic book by H.G. Wells, Tales of Space and Time, written in an era of humanity a bit more than a century ago, when the interest in the existence of higher dimensions greatly increased, but was unintentionally diverted by the developments in the field of quantum physics, and could never fully transform spirituality.

​

This is what the painting refers to: Jean Metzinger’s painting ("La Femme Au Cheval”), which was hanging on the wall of Niels Bohr’s apartment in Carlsberg Institute. Through Metzinger’s writings, cubism had a big influence on Bohr’s research. It inspired him to postulate that the totality of an electron is both a particle and a wave - also known as the principle of complementarity. The painting also clearly reveals what is obscured in our present worldview, the essence, the divine feminine behind the veil, which is the permanent, undivided, nurturing and luminous space itself.
