Question: Would it be correct to say that mathematical equations in physics do not necessarily describe reality, but rather our experience of reality, and therefore are no more real than the virtual experience we are having in embodiment. Physics models are describing our knowledge of information about the world, rather than the world life itself. As masters frequently pointed out, information can be structured to ever more complex systems or models. Is this the way that the evolution of consciousness is governed? Is the further expansion of knowledge in the current situation, only possible with greater and greater integration to oneness? Could the masters comment, please?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar – Democracy and Christhood.
Well, all of you can surely see that, although you can create an equation that describes the movements of the stars, the numbers you put on a piece of paper or the formulas you put on a piece of paper here on earth, are not the same as the stars in a faraway galaxy. Clearly, any model you create is just that, a model.
This goes whether it is in science, or whether it is in religion. Science is in its essence, human being’s attempt to make sense of the world they live in, and to be able to change their situation. Well, a religion is also an attempt for people to make sense of the world they live in, and to change their situation, as is a political ideology. The philosopher Immanuel Kant talked about, that there is a world that we can perceive, but it is not the thing in itself, because it is beyond what we can perceive.
Now, in our teachings, we would say that when you are in the duality consciousness, you cannot perceive the world as it is, but you can in the Christ consciousness. But nevertheless, even when you are in the Christ consciousness, or have reached a certain level of Christhood, but you are still in embodiment on earth, you still need to have some kind of model for how the world works. Even our teachings are basically a model of how the world works.
In terms of the expansion of consciousness, you need to make this distinction between the expansion of knowledge and the expansion of consciousness. You can look back at the last 2000 years, for example, and see that there has been a tremendous expansion of knowledge generated primarily by science, but certainly also by experience. This expansion of knowledge could not have happened without also an expansion of consciousness. But it is not a one-to-one correspondence.
We might say that, in order to expand knowledge, knowledge has to be in some kind of container, which is not the physical brain but the mind. In order to expand knowledge beyond a certain limit, you have to expand the container of the mind. But still, expanding knowledge does not necessarily expand the container. You have many examples of people who have great knowledge, it can be of science, it can be of politics, so it can be of religion. But they have not raised their consciousness, they have acquired horizontal knowledge, but it is knowledge at a certain level only.
And in order to take knowledge to a higher level, like jumping from Newtonian Physics to Einsteinian Physics, and then again jumping to quantum physics, it takes a transcendence of consciousness, vertically, where you expand consciousness. Naturally, the fastest growth can be attained, when people not only seek to expand knowledge, but also seek to expand consciousness. That is why when this breaks through to a higher level, where more and more people lock into the need to raise consciousness, expand consciousness, the growth towards the golden age will be accelerated many fold.
