The Path to Whole-Minded Enlightenment

In the hush between one breath and the next, between one thought and its successor, between the solid forms of the world—there lies a realm that speaks. Not with words, but with presence. Not with noise, but with profound silence that is anything but empty.

We have been taught to fixate on the "things" themselves: objects, people, events, ideas. Yet the true magic, the true communication, unfolds in the spaces be'tween things. Look softly—not at the chair or the window or the page, but at the gaps around them. Relax your gaze until the edges soften, until the mind quiets into a mild, self-hypnotic ease. In that relaxed state, the spaces begin to shimmer with life. They whisper. They reveal. They are alive with intelligence.

This "nothing" is the fertile void, the womb of all possibility. It is where archetypes rise like mist at dawn, where guidance flows without effort, where the Divine converses directly with the soul. Here, separation dissolves; everything is intimately connected through these living gaps. Fear cannot dwell in such openness. Imagination becomes the brush that paints new realities. Healing arrives as a gentle current. This be-tween space is the threshold of awakening—the original inspiration for my early work at tween.org and the quantum-spiritual path I've walked ever since.

What was once pure mysticism now finds astonishing echoes in contemporary science. The "empty" space between atoms, particles, and even galaxies is not void at all—it is the quantum vacuum, a teeming ocean of energy and fluctuation. Quantum field theory reveals that what we call empty space is permeated by fields in their lowest energy state—zero-point energy (ZPE)—where virtual particles constantly emerge and vanish, creating an ever-present hum of potential.¹ Read more about Quantum Consciousness >>

The famous Casimir effect proves this tangibly: two neutral plates in a vacuum attract each other because fewer virtual particle wavelengths fit in the narrow gap than outside, producing measurable force from "nothing." This demonstrates that the space be'tween is dynamically active, not inert. Consciousness itself interfaces with these vacuum fluctuations.² 

These scientific insights do not diminish the mystery; they illuminate it. The ancients intuited what physics now measures: the interstitial is sacred ground, a portal where the seen and unseen meet. By turning attention inward to these spaces, we access higher wisdom, dissolve illusions of separation, and remember our sovereign wholeness.

Space and time exist to support a structuring (left brain, structured, logical (masculine), in order to allow for infinite creative possibilities (right brain, unstructured, creative (feminine). Read more about Brain Balancing >>

When we can keep the left brain/structure flexible and passive to what the outcome will be of the creation our potential streams forth in a great wealth of abundance. This is balance. This is where your brain's hemispheres become whole minded. What is the point of being "whole-minded"? 

Whole-Minded = Divine Inner Marriage = Limitless Potentiated Creation. — Deidre Madsen

 How do we step into our limitless creation potential? Understanding what the space between and how it speaks to us is a great beginning.

Let's explore the space be'tween and expand our thinking towards whole-mindedness with the first of several powerful exercises:

Exercise #1: The Is Not Is

THE MEAN (MIDDLE, MIDPOINT, SPACE BE'TWEEN) LINE

Let's begin with a deep exercise in understanding the Is Not Is. 

Looking at an ordinary chair, one could define the chair by its shape and design, right? Not necessarily because the space around the chair - defines the chair.

1. The space that is the chair is the Is.
2. The space around the chair is the Is Not.
3. The connecting point where the chair and the space that is not the chair meet, is called the Is Not Is.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE

1. The chair Is
2. The space around the chair Is Not
3. The two combined is the Is Not Is

There is no separation really for all things are within the All. If you can imagine expanding that point or thin line between the two (the chair and the space around the chair) you can expand your awareness into the Is Not Is. The more you focus on the parts around a chair that is not the chair, the more you will begin to sense that those spaces not the chair are actually independent spaces comprising and agreeing to cohabitate the space around a chair, helping to form the reality of a chair. 

Other Examples

☯︎ The Yin/Yang Symbol The space be'tween is the "S" curve, is liminal and alive, not just a delineation	🗲 A Lightning Bolt The bolt is the Is or 'Light', the darkness surrounding the lightning bolt is the Is Not or 'dark'

The point at which they meet is the Is Not Is ... the Space Be'tween

Expanding the space between things will help you see a much bigger picture, a grander scheme is afoot. Your ability to expand your awareness into those cracks and crevasses will assist you in seeing the rich diversity of the multiple realities surrounding us. — Deidre Madsen

The illusion of rigidness and separation of space and time: space and time warps together. Space and time are virtually unified. One stretches and the other contracts and vice versa with presence or absence of motion. Thus, they keep the maximum speed in the universe at the speed of light. (Watch: The Fabric of the Cosmos.) Also See: Quantum Consciousness - Gaining Strength to Reach Your Limitless Potential's Mid-Point Heaven

Discovering tears in reality led me to understand that what we view is not only conscious and alive but perhaps not the reality we think it is. Now, discovering that everything is conscious and thus, everything has a specific amount of consciousness, literally everything; I postulate further our own conscious is considered 'light'. Our sub-unconscious is considered to be 'darkness' or 'ego'. Our super-conscious is the balance between the two, the Is Not Is. I believe superconsciousness or supraconsciousness is enlightenment or a lifting of the veil of illusion or an awakening. Read more about Power and Ego >>

"You have the sight now Neo, you are looking at the world without time." — The Oracle in The Matrix

On one hand these concepts appear elusive and abstract; however, if you take a closer look at your surroundings you will begin to understand there is truly an aliveness or life to the spaces between things. Portals, doorways, things of that nature are visible and easy to grasp, more so than the above concept perhaps. One thing is for certain, there is more than meets the conscious eye when examining our 'reality.'  Read more about Parallel Realities >>

This is why back in 1999 when I began my first foray into the world of the internet, as my website's theme, I originally chose Jonathon Earl Bowser's "Invariance & Enlightenment" oil painting along with my lightning-infused logo.

The illusion of rigidness and separation of space and time: space and time warps together. Space and time are virtually unified. One stretches and the other contracts and vice versa with presence or absence of motion. Thus, they keep the maximum speed in the universe at the speed of light.

Now that you have explored the layers of the Is Not Is, let's move onto the second exercise which will take you deeper into "observer mode" of the world and environment around (and within) you.

Exercise #2: Mirror, Mirror

Sit in front of a large mirror.

Get comfortable.

Begin to relax into a state of meditation and mild self-hypnosis.

Focus on the space between you and the mirror.

What is there?

Focus on all the things BE'TWEEN YOU AND THE MIRROR.

Observe where all the things meet one another.

Now ...

View the space be'tween you and the mirrored image of you as the "space be'tween you and your mirrored image."

View this space. Observe it. Focus on it.

This space has substance and is very much alive.

Just like in this oil painting.

• The space between the statue and the woman
• The space between the woman and the dove
• The woman and the dove that are  alive and the woman and the dove that are statues
• The space between the light's rays and the shadows
• The deep forest and the portal opening into the expanse beyond

The artist's depiction of a spatial casting in form is the personification of our understanding the machinations of what is be'tween all things.

In the oil, the dove is coming and the dove is going.

You are now successfully able to examine the world around you in greater focused detail. Discovering, almost, like a breathing of everything. And subsequently a conscious connection with all things. Seeing, sensing and feeling the aliveness of all things animate and inanimate.

At the time of creating my first website on the internet, when I discovered the beautiful oil painting, a powerful, strong chord was struck within. I heard, "This is YOU, Deidre!" I was spellbound by the magical oil. The deep and mysterious colors drew me into them and there I stood aside and within the goddess, aside and within the statue.

A few months later I received further confirmation to thus see with more clarity with an exponential depth of insight. Oftentimes deep, intense trauma becomes a vehicle for soul growth after (order out of chaos) - and all this occurred right after my house of cards came 'a tumblin' down.

Aside from philosophizing, this oil painting holds mystery and hope with its mists and sun's rays and the far off in the distance light source showing us there is a way out of the magical grove. Do you really want to go? Hmmm. I like it there ... amidst the thick ferns and mist, the bending, mothering tree friends.

Invariance & Enlightenment

By Jonathon Earl Bowser. Apparitions of the Angel of Civilization
An Ancient Globe-Wandering Spirit who bestows the Liberating Optimism that Aspires to Great Achievement

When the rays of enlightenment first fell upon ancient Greece - the intellectual foundation of western civilization - a path was shown from the shadows of ignorance and superstition. But those shadows returned to eclipse that fragile light, leaving only a hidden legacy of knowledge. Europe slept for centuries before this classical treasure was rediscovered.

The medieval era was a time when Europe mostly forgot how to remember what it had learned before. Fortunately, that intellectual heritage was preserved by Muslim scholars who never lost their profound admiration for the great minds of classical antiquity; the ancient books, after a thousand-year journey through the Islamic world, eventually found their way again into European hands. In the ages that followed - Renaissance, Reformation, and the Age of Reason (or Enlightenment) - those ancient descriptions of science and philosophy slowly evolved into an idea more powerful than monarchs or nations: modern liberalism.

In three paroxysms of reform, the social revolutions in Britain, France, and America (symbolized here by the red, blue, and white gown - echoing the coloration of the flags of these three nations), released political, scientific, and, eventually, social liberty (the dove) into the light. And yet, even though this liberty has given the West unprecedented freedom and prosperity, genuine enlightenment remains elusive. We yet long for the wisdom that so inscrutably escapes us, and are neither satisfied nor content. Why not?

As the enlightenment (the philosophy that human endeavor should be subject only to a guiding principle of logic and reason, and not to any irrational superstition) continues to drive society’s evolution, we grow increasingly overwhelmed by the bewildering complexities of a perpetually changing world. 20th century modernism has created a society that depends for its existence upon hyper-accelerated growth and development - the commercial imperative of relentless material acquisition. We are instructed - from cradle to grave, in ways obvious and covert - that we can never have enough of our own product and so must possess the newest incarnation of every conceivable object and experience. This is the lure - and snare - of modernity. But perhaps we sometimes seek the safe and simple comfort of things known and familiar, like the woman (a manifestation, or angel, of civilization) who is leaning to the right upon the stable edifice of history. Even while she reaches for the liberalizing light of the left, she rests upon conservative tradition and the past.

This painting depicts what we all hope is the endeavor of civilization: the human quest for wisdom. It seems that whether we design our social and political structures to the ethereal and subjective left or the material and objective right makes no difference. Societies can be dynamic, constantly redefining themselves in the pursuit of some idealistically defined objective, or static, relying on the well-established precedence of history. Either way, people don’t change much: we feel joy and misery, hope and despair, just as people did 500 - or 5000 - years ago. It is, apparently, easier to reinvent society, than ourselves.

In Raphael’s great painting, The School of Athens, we see a timeless illustration of the problem. Plato, full of idealistic fervor, gestures heavenward: “The proper aim of all thought is upon the eternal forms of divine mind!” The pragmatic, moderating hand of Aristotle, however, gestures toward the earth: “The proper aim of all action is the here and now.” Idealists, like the cleansing forest fire, clear away the corruption and decay of old growth; but builders, like all new growth, are always fixed upon the practical matters of immediate need. How can either way be the only path? It seems the debate - Plato’s hand or Aristotle’s - will remain with us for some great time.

Until individuals, and not just the society around them, change in some fundamental, perhaps biological, way, the realization of our aspirations will never be found in this or that administrative mechanism. Some believe in strength and fear the failure of weakness; some believe in compassion and fear the failure of cruelty. But every child understands that two parents, providing both strength and compassion, provide the greatest benefit. And so, we shall always be in moving shadows and lost in our own vacillating ignorance (the mist), until we abandon the comfortable security of invariance and venture alone through the forbidding labyrinth of the forest darkness - our own unknown and unrealized potential. Enlightenment is not found left or right, but at a distant place, through and beyond the wilderness ...
