Alphabetics and The Symbolists

Mathematics and Alphabetics
I am a symbolist by nature who: 1. knows that the material universe is intelligently designed 2. creation is, in of itself symbolic. 3. material and immaterial reality is intelligible in varying states, due to item 1.

"This life is intrinsic to all things only because it derives from the divine self-disclosure (altajallîal-ilâhî) to each and every existent thing. He created the existent things to worship and know Him.28 But not one of His creatures would know Him unless He disclosed Himself to it,and then it comes to know Him through itself. For no created thing has the capacity to know the Creator, as God said, 'We taught him knowledge from Us' (Qur'an 18:64).29 Self-disclosure continues forever, witnessed by and manifest to all existent things, except the angels, mankind,
and the jinn, since this constant self-disclosure belongs only to that which has no rational speech (nutq), like all inanimate things and plants.30
As for those things which have been given rational speech and the ability to express what is in themselves - that is, the angels, mankind, and the jinn in respect of their governing spirits and their faculties - for them self-disclosure occurs from behind the veil of the unseen. Hence the angels' knowledge derives from God's giving knowledge (ta'rîf), not from self-disclosure, while the knowledge of mankind and the jinn derives from consideration (nazar) and reasoning(istidlâl). But the knowledge possessed by their bodies and by all other created things derives from the divine self-disclosure."
-Ibn Al Arabi

Mathematics and alphabetics are materially inseparable and to some extent interchangeable, as the late, irreplaceable Mr Gerald Hawkin's incredible work on the language of crop circles provided ample testimony to this arcane and antediluvian art of alphabetics being the basis within the main branch of non verbal communication, terrestrial or otherwise.

Arcane Meta-Alphabetics

Scholars call them synthetic alphabets, but they are not languages, but a mathematics of symbols, which are carriers of knowledge, but not knowledge in of itself. A medium, not a message.

In its purest form, as John Wilkins observed in 1668, language is arbitrary, as radicals and distinctions are fundamental elements and that their conditional modifications, by their atomic and schematic nature, could only be defined by their positioning.

The foundation of Cryptology was laid by Trithemius in 1499, in a work entitled Steganographia, which was a manual for conjuration that were keys for the selected prescription of codes within a sophisticated pattern of substitution in continual mutation to effect a conditional boundry of cognition.

Another form of symbolist alphabetics was most famously entitled Ars Combintoria, later Ars Magna Sciendi Siuve Combintoria in 1669, by Raymond Llull, which was a computational alphabetic systematization of systems, which created a network of knowledge and process, which could answer a variety of questions, as they would say these days, that were input into its processing framework.

Another variant are called the Celestial Alphabets, which are derived from the transposition of stellar configurations using positioning nodal points at the intersection of stars. There are three that I know of, Angel, King and Crossing The River.

Meet Metatron
John Dee, with his able assistant, Edmund Kelley entered into the hinterlands of Ufological territory in 1581, with a name familiar and of interest to most in this field...Enouch. He began a series of experiments which are oddly very similar to those pro ported to be used by Joesph Smith, which was a lense or "scrying glass" to decrypt certain symbolist aspects of light. In 1586, "Enouch: His Book, the 48 Angelic Keys" was published. Metatron, as a intermediary,translated as "Representative of the Presence of God" presented Enouch a set of Emerald Tablets, which were the ultimate expression of symbolist knowledge should they have existed, which the mathematician believed that they did and accordingly. 'back engineered them in reverse order, as to prevent complete chaos. Sounds like the Demiurge again, at least to this writer. Anyway, it must have been quite a task. Metatron stated to Enouch " Come and behold the letters by which Heaven and Earth were created...." In other words...the mathematical alphabetics utilised in the creative act of material reality. Moses destroyed these emerald tablets in a rage.....

A Ratio of Cognition
Gurdjieff called a certain teaching design of three-fold properties that are intentionally designed to be preparatory, transactional and self regulating, whose purpose is to prevent rote learning as well as to prevent the insertion of premature knowledge prior to an equal application of experience, "burying the bone". The first key feature is to of course, bury the bone. The second is to scatter the data to be assimilated under the edict of effort over time. The third is a scatter-shot methodology, which absolutely relies upon; A. persistence of effort over a expanse of time. B. the willingness to be skeptical c. the ability to recognise patterns, correspondences, and verifications. Burying the bone is a technique that relies upon metaphor, clues, and facts to assemble for ones-self, an accurate conceptual model of what one is seeking, rather than to hand knowledge to one on a silver platter wherein, the negative results of; 1. It was not paid for by effort, it has relative, or no value. 2. It would be self referential and would be destructive to further learning. This is what he termed rote or in his words.."parrot learning."
The scatter shot method is based upon truth, primary sources, free of innovation which is held in common by all great traditions leading all the way back to the prehistory of a antediluvian world. The oldest are what we call myth which is a technique for storing information within a story, the story is the carrier wave, being preserved over generations. Metaphor is another, analogy also. Once one is immersed in this topography, a history, a concept, or a message is very slowly revealed with correspondence, pattern and a commonality of symbolics. All the sources of religion are based on this, all great traditions can be read in four independent and interlocking parallel paths of meaning, which in the end, are different facets of one truth. It is a calculus of One. All equations in this exercise equal one. as Gurdjieff said, "You have to know a whole lot to know a little."
We can see this operate, or more accurately, not operate in the democratic process in this country. How many people who are individually responsible for their government know little or nothing and make a choice upon this? This applies to Ufology. This is why most common folk will A.. rely on what they are told B. "believe any old tale" when it comes to a singular source of information which is three-fold; A. Corporate Media B. Overt Government Pronouncements or C. Covert Propaganda through item A.
Compare what you learned over time about the UFO situation to what the man on the street knows. Which is the larger grouping? A. The man on the street, or B. Ufologists? Can ufology be called in some sense, an inner circle, a small group of individuals with comparatively more information? Is this by design? No. Information is an extremely valuable commodity, in comparison to the latest high definition television. One has to ask oneself, which is better, "parrot learning" or by individual effort? Do you think that we are the only ones who have come to this conclusion? Apply this methodology to your imagination, and place yourself in the station of an extraterrestrial...which would you chose to disclose your; A.identity
B. motive C. aim ?

Self Comforting Fantasies :
1. Our national government possesses and will hand us all of our answers on a silver plate.
2. The UFO phenomenon is didactic set of dualistic choices. It is either; A. material
or B. metaphysical. It is both.
3. All ufo phenomenon is accidental and random ie: A. crop circles B. close proximity sightings C. so called "abductions".

I would look to the country of Turkey, specifically Istanbul, as a highly probable, yet fallible location for a descent, at least in my conceptual platform of models. I also think its reasonable to theorise that certain political events must transpire prior to this. Perhaps, perhaps not. Also, the same for a event on the last day of this November or on December 1st. Perhaps perhaps not. This is not a edict of dogma but an experiment we are all participating in, whether we chose to take advantage of it, is strictly up to us.
