The smaller or bigger problem with quality and quantity
Quality and quantity or power are the two sides of one coin. So everything has a quality side and a quantity side. Quality means in main characteristic, ability, intention, quality itself, etc. Quantity means in main power, the amount of energy. So for example if we talk about something like love then we can speak about its quality – unconditional love or selfish love – and its quantity – normal power or really powerful, etc.
This polarity of quality and quantity comes along with a small or maybe bigger problem for spiritual students but also for all humans.
Humans often have an idea in their mind – the quality aspect – and they want to realize it – but they lack of power – quantity – to do so.
“I would love to visit China but I have not the energy to do it.”
“I dream about being a physician but I have not the energy to undergo the education.”
“I long for enlightenment but I cannot undergo the spiritual training. I don´t have the time, the discipline, the energy, etc. to do so.”
In fact everything needs power for realization. So if you want to realize something then a good idea is not enough. You have to care about a good source of power to make it happen.
And if someone has made the decision to undergo a spiritual training then he has to face the same problem again.
He wants to develop the special ability XY and so he focuses his effort on it. But this doesn´t work as he misses the quantity aspect.
For example you want to develop the quality of unconditional love. This is so far just an idea without power. Now you focus on it, you meditate on it and you try hard to make this idea powerful which is comparable with trying to grow a mosquito to the seize of an elephant. As this is really hard you probably fail or you have to put your own energy into the idea to make it stronger to realize.
Unfortunately most spiritual students of most traditions work this way and wonder why progress is so hard or simply not feasible.
When you know about quality and quantity then you do it in a different way. You produce or gather the energy in the seize of the elephant and then you give it the quality of the mosquito.
Translated to our example this means that you gather energy and transforms it into energy with the quality of unconditional love.
And this way of working is valid for the development of all abilities and special characteristics. Just take a useful amount of power and impregnate it with your wished for quality. Then it can realize or follow your purpose.
But please do not try to grow a mosquito to the seize of an elephant without the necessary power (substance) supply.
This is the small difference which can help you to more success in life and in the spiritual training.
Dear Ray,
The terms quality and quantity reminds me of the “biogeometry” teachings of Dr. Karim ( http://www.biogeometry.ca/). You might already know about biogeometry – but if you don’t it is “the patented science of using the energy principles of shape to qualitatively balance biological energy systems and harmonize their interactions with the environment”. Actually there are biogeometry patents that anyone may download. Dr. Karim has published a book about the topic that I find very interesting. He comes from an Egyptian family of architects and as an initiate of secret knowledge he has been allowed to make public some of the ancient techniques. I have applied some of these techniques and they work, at least for me.
A proponent of biogeometry is the American Dr. Gilbert of the Vesica institute ( http://www.vesica.org/) who also is a scholar and practitioner of Hermetics.
My line of thinking is that biogeometry might be used broadly, as a basic technique to improve for the ordinary citizen, since neither the user nor the beneficiary (if they are different persons) does need any initiation or any special knowledge at all. Actually biotechnology may be used completely secretly with full positive effect. Biogeometric forms may be embedded invisibly in everyday objects or just applied to a space or object, such as a GSM tower. The latter I have tried with good results, reducing harmful emissions over a larger area.
One may also note the similarity between Dr. Karims biogeometry signs and some of Bardons seals. Style is similar, perhaps there are also deeper parallels here than just graphic similarity.

Dear Anders,
thank you for your comment and your hints regarding biogeometry, Dr. Karim and Dr. Gilbert. I have made only a little bit of research regarding these things. I know that geometric drawings, etc. have an influence on energy in quality and quantity. Such drawings for example are used for healing, protection, energy supply and the connection to higher spheres and spirits, also ideas, etc. And this is all somehow connected to the idea of structures which are able to store and cultivate special energies like crystals do but also the physical body of humans, etc. And when you check the sigils of spirits then you can feel also their energy vibrating from the sigil.
But as I have said, I am not deep in this field. I think in the future there will be revealed a lot about these things.
It is great that you have made experiments and have accomplished good results.
I guess I have to read books from Karim and Gilbert to dive deeper into this field.
Thank you for sharing these things with us!
With best wishes, Ray
