> There are lots of issues to sort out using phi--machines making it

> Related issue is also, can there be mass enlightenment brought on by
> natural, even apparently mechanical environmental factors, like being
> near a phi-proportioned temple complex in lieu of being near a phi
> and m-state rich realized saint, or like being near phi-progressions
> coming from a synthesizer, or like being nearer a central sun, whose
> rays would be both higher in frequency and phi frequency proportions
> supposedly than the sun, as Yogananda's guru, Sri Yukteswar
> thought--or does it take individual and small group action in an
> environment way removed from a central sun's radiations, as Gurdjieff
> maintained, which is hardly a mass ascension? Here take note that
> mass enlightenment in any form brings up other problems, like
> availability of sufficient spiritual positions/states with finer
> matters/energies allowing the higher consciousness, the remaining
> duality between an enlightened being and Source with its 'room at the
> top' problem. Maintaining an optimum distribution of cosmic stuffs so
> as not to inundate the unprepared or starve the advanced will be very
> challenging, especially in the presence of mechanical phi
> distributors that can change these balances in unexpected and even
> dangerous ways (even the Great Pyramid at Giza, for example). Mass
> ascensions, even if possible, further lend themselves to astral
> politics and short circuits to middle and even lower inner levels.
> Special appeals need to be made to advanced UT's, ET's and specially
