“To the Star” – Significations…

Illumination (the awakening of Consciousness) is the central theme of this distinguished poem by Eminescu. Essentially, the spinal, spiraled polarization that our very existence generates in the Ether, in the Void of “space-time,” forms those double, symmetrical torsions with opposite directions (left-handed/right-handed spirals) that continue even after the body disappears…

This refers to the polarization of the existential wave, with the fundamental property of possessing the same nature in two opposing points. Therefore, when He and She designate androgyny—similar to the primordial nucleosynthesis of proto-stars—then, even if separated by the Anaphor of Genesis, they remain eternally together in inseparability. The explanation lies in the idea that Creation is founded upon the torsional rotation of the Zero Element, the Polar Point, the divine Void with an Eulerian radius…, forming a Bernoullian logarithmic spiral (see Brâncuși!) that unfolds under the angle of the proportion between One and Nine.

Because Consciousness, manifesting beneath the dome of temporality, tells us that what we “see in the blue distances,” toward the veil of “dark energy,” is Presence, the eternal Present, while the level of our unconscious, through memory, underlines that the “Star” lies in the past, an “icon of the star that has died.” We become aware of the “eternal” present and constantly remember the past…

And this paradox is imposed by the equation of the seconds of the sidereal day, cryptically divided into the product of time particles (chronoms), between Planck time and the elementary charge of the electron (which is connected to light—the protagonist of Eminescu’s poem).

If all points in space are simultaneous, then all events in time are also here. When we gaze at the sky, we are perceiving events that occurred in the past (thus, time—as motion—must occur in space, and for light to traverse immense distances with its miraculous speed, it required enormous units of time—billions of years). Cosmic archaeology…

We come from the Void and go toward the Void… only at the beginning of this fascinating journey that will unfold over 10¹⁰⁰ Earth years, that is 3.15569 × 10⁹⁹ seconds… when the nucleosynthesis of the stars will deliver its final discourse (don’t miss the ceremony!), clearing the path for another cycle of 3.15569 × 10⁹⁹ seconds.

Time measures the motion (action, poeion) of things in space; it names space (it poetizes it!), while Space determines Form—thus, gives number to time, mathematizing it triadically… A matter of Matheseosophia of Art—at both the quantum and cosmic level! When the Two meet in the phrase: “Eadem mutata resurgo” (I change, but I retain the Form).

Ultimately, a synthesis between Illumination (magnetism) and Light (electrification)… a true understanding of the alchemy of Love (see the strong nuclear field interactions), which is at the foundation of Creation.

Love (see the symmetry of the gluon messengers) demands that through Action, poeion, Time arises within Space. The “Zero” Element, Protonos, creates the Proton, revealing to us the cosmic alchemy.

And Illumination designates, indeed, the “space-time” of Consciousness (here, the Star, the celestial body bearing, inseparably, both magnetic and electric vocations)…

Consciousness (the Star!) is the perfect stillness between two fundamental, twin states:

• not seeing when the source of light exists (being electrified)…
  versus:

• seeing, sensing, when light is no longer present—but magnetic waves are, guiding in the Great Depth the unifying Creation…

The Poem is:

“To the star that has risen / The road’s so long and wide, / That it took thousands of years / For the light to reach our sight. // It may have long perished on its way / In blue and distant spaces, / And only now its ray displays / Its shimmer in our gazes. // The image of the star now dead / Climbs gently through the dome; / It was, back when it wasn’t yet seen — / Today we see it, but it’s gone. // And likewise, when our longing dies / In the depth of night unclear, / The light of love that once burned bright / Still follows us, sincere.”

Let us restate: The Star (Consciousness – Akasha) is, even if we don’t see it… We perceive, illusively, only its corpuscular pulsation. The cause? The presence of attachments (desires, “our longing,” as the Poet underlines for those who truly listen).

When the Star is born, it exits the Horizon of Singularity, of Protonos (the Word!), and when it dies, in the “blue distances,” it returns to the same Anaphor of the Horizon of Singularity.

Consciousness is, at its core, the Star, the equational reference that enables our correlation with reality, with the alchemy of love and goodness as the foundation of Creation through: contacting the Self, visualizing thoughts, detaching from mind-conditioning… It is, naturally, the mirror-frequency of the divine one, consisting in the product of: the frequency of the Proton, Euler’s number, and the Golden Ratio squared…

But if we go (act, awaken!) toward that “is not”, we already see!
That is, we perceive as a single unity the corpuscular dance of Shiva and the wave of Shakti… in the same time, in the same space…

Thus, we ascend to: understanding, love, happiness, stillness, the unmoving mind in synchrony with the world, transcending dualities, contacting the Self, and divine grace…

Eminescu, then, evokes that “long road,” naturally the torsional rotation of the “Zero” Element, required for quantum light to reach authentic Illumination, the miraculous Consciousness…

“To the star that has risen / The road’s so long and wide, / That it took thousands of years / For the light to reach our sight.”

The interaction of the “ray of light” can be read in one direction (a certain sequence), but not in reverse… The Poet intuits and poetically names a journey into the past (when the “Star rose” via primordial nucleosynthesis), and this “cosmic promenade” is, paradoxically, also a future event…

“It may have long perished on its way / In blue and distant spaces / And only now its ray displays / Its shimmer in our gazes.”

Starting from the past (from the beginning of the Shiva-Shakti fusion—deuterium-tritium within the proto-star), the star disappears in the present-future (“it was before it was seen”), then reappears in the now (in being!), yet completely leaving the past, and thus, it “is no longer”!…

Just like the Star and the Chakra (essentially, the Vortexes of being): when we don’t see it with the mind’s eye, it is; and when we do see it, it is not… Why? Because these are not physical, but astral, spiritual…

Indeed:
“Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas” – The Sower Arepo holds the wheels with care!

When the Star is “followed,” the universe is split in two worlds:
One, of the Watcher – res-aliter, Actual Reality, seeing the past, the Archetype, the First Form…
The other, of the Observer – only imagining change, the aliter, the illusory.

We chase the immortality of the “First” Star—thus Creation—but we receive only pre-creations, transformations, growths and diminutions…

It is a game of Consciousness that tricks us into believing we have a clear perception of re-ality, when in truth, it’s an illusion (an aliter without the res, the essence): we cannot hear all air vibrations, nor see all electromagnetic wavelengths, nor smell all emanations, nor grasp the full taste of Beauty, nor possess a perfect touch of the Mirabilis Spiral’s torsion… We command only a small window into the world…

“The image of the star now dead / Climbs gently through the dome; / It was, back when it wasn’t yet seen, / Today we see it, but it’s gone.”

We look much, but see little… Without realizing that both “the Star (that) rose” (the Mirror!) and the reflection that re-appears in the “now,” forsaking the past—and thus “is no longer”!—are the holographic image of a single fundamental thing: the Void, the Zero Point of the Spiral of Genesis, the final cosmic sub-division that considers: the radius of the proton (once more, Protonos), kaliogenesis, Euler’s Number, the proton-to-neutron mass ratio, and the constant of strong nuclear interactions, long known to be divine Love…

Fusion within the Proto-star (as a twisted vortex choreographed into the Mirabilis Spiral) increases entropy, since it is known that at the Star’s rise, entropy is minimal, under the crown of the First Order. As the star’s entropy grows logarithmically, it sends us energy with reduced entropy (of the Beginning), in the form of light (electromagnetic waves and beyond). Then gravity was strong—there; now, increasingly, attraction, embrace, cohesion, weaken… The First Information (the Word, Protonos, Etheron) was Whole; now, it fragments into parts.

Hence the poem’s theme: deciphering the Action of the Word—Creation!… through its Hermes, Consciousness.

But beware!… Protonos, the Etheron, within the theometric framework of cosmic alchemy, has the role of preserving Form (“Eadem mutata resurgo,” leitmotif of the Brâncușian Spiral of Genesis), without directly participating in it.

The First Star generates the “ray,” yet remains unperturbed…

The Svetasvatara Upanishad (IV, 6) beautifully illustrates this mirror through the image of Two Birds sitting closely in the same tree: one remains still, while the other eats. One symbolizes the immortal soul, guardian of Form, the Archetype; the other represents the soul of transformation, the becoming of the Human…

The meaning of Man—answering the Question of questions (the Sphinx’s riddle!)—is to mediate the changeable, fleeting order (the Spiral, the Image) with the cosmic order of preserving Likeness with the Divine Matrix…

Both are crucial:

• the “image” of becoming (the ray that reappears in the “now,” but leaves the past—thus “is not,” the aliter),

• and the “likeness” with the First Form (when “the Star rose,” being res-aliter, Reality!)…

The mediator is only the understanding of the Beauty of Creation, from below and above, in its just mathematical measure… Thus, salvation from the illusion of the physical world, and reunion with the ultimate reality…
The drop re-discovers itself to be the Ocean!…

In stanza IV:

“And likewise, when our longing dies / In the depth of night unclear, / The light of love that once burned bright / Still follows us, sincere.”

The Poet, the Onomaturgist, names the idea that, like the Star from “blue distances,” Love (gluon-like Love), when it is in the Sky of our soul, is not visible—and only after its fading, we reflect on it and its persistent resonances, due to an intrinsic quality of Creation: inseparability.

Eminescu, like Brâncuși, invites us to grasp—in the rational spirals of words—the reason of the Word’s Form, the kaliogenesis of Protonos, the Etheron! For yes—space-time can be curved and distorted (torsioned), and their equational connection is made through the matrix of cosmic energy (Tesla), through which we can dream of the Energy of the First Word…

The geometry of words must consider, therefore:

• the Name-Number of God (see the 216th position in the Fibonacci Sequence!),

• the minimal asymmetry between proton and neutron,

• and, inversely, Planck’s constant of Action,
  to access the miraculous curvature (Gate of Heaven! in the deep sketching of “Miorița” from Dacia), of placing Man into Creation.

And especially—read, in light, Eminescu’s Poem “To the Star”!
