We see ourselves.
Sagan has an easy to follow terminology but I don't think his concepts impressed "friends" as being practical from their perspective.
So you generally speak in a very mundane down-to-earth fashion. I try very hard not to use scientific, occult, religious nor mystical jargon.Okay so I have a question. From reading your post it would appear that you are versed in the Occult, what is it that you are looking to achieve?
I will be honest, my family has banned me from writing Religious or Occult texts. Seriously they have, I think it’s down to my ability to speak in a very “down to earth fashion” and not having a clue on how to spell words over a couple of syllables.
I also can't speak in proverbs but thats another matter altogether
What is it that you are looking to learn? The actual existence of Angels, Demons or little grey Aliens and telepathy? Well hate to break it to you, Telepathy is possible and your not alone in this creation.
Can there be omnipresence?
I can see that an omnipresent Being can exist within a closed space.
But I have seen nothing to suggest a truely universal omnipresence.
Thats because we have no perception of that realm, the same way a 2D flatlander can't see "up".
You don't read books?! Do you just obtain all this information via osmosis or something?
Anything of value that has ever been imagined has been written and published in books
So yea, start buying/reading books if you seek to communicate your wisdom to the masses.
So with that in mind, I would say the answers to your question(s) about the ontological significance of numbers in relation to he universe reside in Crowley's Liber 777 - Essay on Numbers. You can read the revised .pdf in the link I just gave, but I highly suggest you obtain yourself a hard copy.
Omnipresence, or to be everywhere all the time (all pervasive) is a form of 0 (zero).
0 cannot be manifested in the physical, ergo if thought of as a dimension it would have to be one that transcends Space, Time, Matter, & Energy.
In short, the Buddhist Cosmologists of ancient Tibet (and ironically some Quantum Physicists of today) have hence made the suggestion that Consciousness is the essence of the universe and that it is from Consciousness that the other physical dimensions are derived, not the other way around.
So Consciousness is the only form of Omnipresence and it is nonphysical. Consciousness equates to everything (the all pervasive), and The Void (represented by zero) equates to nothing.
(Quote me from the opening to this thread)
Self, let's create a self.
So let's take our two dimensional sphere of no size and only an inside and an outside. let's create this sphere within the Sea of Chaos. Thus we enclose awareness in a closed space. This gives us a defined awareness - a self in it's most fundamental form. What I call a spark of life.
So Consciousness is the only form of Omnipresence and it is nonphysical. Consciousness equates to everything (the all pervasive), and The Void (represented by zero) equates to nothing.
The old paradigm of Cartesian Dualism is inherently illusionary, as there is no objective or subjective reality.
Reality simply is. Get it?
edit: I should be getting paid for this, damnit! That will be $500/hour.

Bottom line here: There is probably more then just a reader or two here at ATS with the talent to find this place. This is for them. Plenty of people out there who know about what's down there from studying the area. (to the south east is a library too) but that knowledge generally stays in private circles. This is just a heads up guys, not an exposé.

I wasn't addressing any religious misinterpretation, I was trying to be scientific. The nature of energy and the soul go hand in hand, its very 'scientific'.
