In ancient days, everything was broken down to be comprised of five elements: earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. In our enlightened age, we recognize four interactions that create the weave of physical form. These are weak and strong nuclear interactions, electro-magnetic interactions, and gravitational interactions.

There is a fifth interaction. Even though there is a whole science dedicated to the study of the fifth interaction, it is not recognized as such. The fifth interaction is life, and some of its studies are the biological sciences. Life is the interaction that is representative of the Eternal Creative Moment in physical form, and is the source of the other four interactions. Life is that which manipulates the other four interactions to recreate and reorganize itself. It is one of the reasons scientists have a problem with a unified field theory; they do not recognize the fifth and foremost interaction. Life is not recognized as a viable force of physical form yet.

The relationships of these scientific interactions are expressed in two different ways in Figures 3.2 and 3.3. Figure 3.2 shows BTRs congealing into physical form. Figure 3.3 illustrates a specific congealing arrangement manifesting into temporal life. The concepts of tangency points in Figure 3.3 will be important later.

Weak nuclear interactions involve the construction of atomic particles. It involves the first set of bubbles of temporal reference (BTRs). These BTRs and their interactions make up what we call protons, neutrons, electrons, and the 200+ atomic particles known so far. Each one in itself is a BTR. When scientists make observations on this level, they perceive a limit to the size of BTRs (Figure 3.1[iv]-temporal limits). Science calls this upper limit a Plank's length. Within the physics construct, no particle can be smaller than this unit.

Strong nuclear interactions are the interplay between the BTRs of particles, specifically, those known as the proton and the neutron. It is commonly known as nuclear energy and released during a nuclear explosion. It binds the nucleus (which is another larger BTR) of an atom together.

Electromagnetic interactions are the interaction between the BTR known as proton and the BTR known as electron (or proton to proton, electron to electron, etc.). The BTRs released from their change of spatial arrangements are known as light photons. It is the interaction of the BTRs (proton and electron) that determine the shape of an atom or molecule (another larger BTR). It is through the right angle relationships of electromagnetic BTRs that allows matter to take up three-dimensional space.

Gravity is the weakest affinity that all BTRs have for each other. Be it on the particle level or the galactic, all BTRs have some affinity with each other. This is representative of Love binding things together. Another temporal limit can be found in gravity. The lower limit of physical creation manifests -- through gravity -- as the singularity known as a black hole.

Each of these scientific interactions involves dualities. With gravity there is the duality of the two pieces of matter. Interactions of the duality of electric charges are electromagnetic. With strong and weak nuclear forces there is a duality between nucleus particles and the duality involved with a change of state, respectively. In scientific theory, each of these interactions is accompanied by a photon BTR of some sort.

Figure 3.2, Physical BTRs

The different scientific interactions can be considered as an octave or part of a spectrum of a total system resonance (Figure 3.2). Each interaction (gravity, emf, etc.) almost acts as a separate chord within the total resonant system. Each category of BTRs has a set of laws/truths that tend to pertain to those BTRs. To use a music analogy: each interaction has its own sets of overtones and harmonics.

The low end of this scientific spectrum -- or lower octave -- is gravity. It becomes apparent (to us) with the presence of massive systems of BTRs, large bodies. An example is our bodies' (a BTR) attraction with the planet (a BTR) and vice versa. The next octave above gravity is electromagnetic. The BTRs in this system are on a molecular level (a smaller BTR). We recognize them as light and heat (smaller yet BTRs). This is the system that allows you to perceive matter. What you feel when you walk barefoot are the interactions of the electrons in your feet repelling the electrons in the ground. As mentioned earlier, the electromagnetic BTRs work with a right angle rule and are the BTRs that define space for the human reference.⁶

The next higher octave is strong nuclear. It is stronger than the electromagnetic interaction, and yet, subtler -- and except for stars and bombs -- almost invisible to our human perceptions. These BTR systems are smaller and constitute the nature of an element and its nucleus. An even smaller BTR system (and next higher octave) is weak nuclear. It constitutes the very nature of the atomic particle.

Notice that the particle BTRs determine the nucleus BTRs, which determine the atom BTRs, which determine a planet BTR. Figure 3.2 shows a region of BTR congealing conditions where Life Eternal takes on temporal form.

Figure 3.2 shows the interaction that encompasses the highest and the lowest part of the spectrum is Life Force. Actually life is the spectrum; the scientific interactions are equivalent to octaves within the spectrum.⁷ Life makes the others possible through the precious moment of Creation and springs from the Eternal Matrix. It is possible to perceive life at work all over the planet.

Figure 3.3, Life Manifesting into Physical Form

The relationships of these interactions are expressed in two different ways in Figures 3.2 and 3.3. Figure 3.3 illustrates the relationships as a circle, within a circle, within a circle, etc. The circle that contains everything is Life Eternal. When the points of tangency are right, Eternal Life manifests in temporal form (as in A). If the points of tangency are not right, then there is form but no temporal life (B). The points of tangency in Figure 3.3A are equivalent to the region of temporal life's physical conditions in Figure 3.2.

So, how does all this work? Let's look at a simple hydrogen atom. Not counting the smallest BTRs that make up the particles of proton and electron, it is made of a BTR that is a proton and a BTR that is an electron. The hydrogen atom itself becomes another BTR comprised of these two separate bubbles' relationship. A molecule of hydrogen (two hydrogen atoms) is a bubble of temporal reference composed of the two atomic bubbles.

At this point, a simple hydrogen molecule involves seven bubbles of temporal reference: four particle BTRs, the two atomic BTRs they create, and the BTR that is created by them all -- the hydrogen molecule. Each larger BTR is comprised of a relationship of smaller BTRs.

A tank of hydrogen gas is billions of billions of BTRs that make up the quantity of the tank. The quantity of gas is, in itself, another bubble of temporal reference. Of course there are the iron bubbles of temporal reference that make up the tank that contains the gas.

Bubbles, within bubbles, within bubbles, etc.; every atom in our bodies is a bubble of temporal reference. These atoms make up the BTRs that are the DNA, the individual cells, the types and systems of cells, etc., all the way up to the human body that is another BTR.

All physical form is comprised of relationships or interactions between BTRs, which in turn creates another BTR. The universe is a bubble of temporal reference made up of a finite (albeit very large) number of BTRs. The same is true with our bodies.

Bubbles, within bubbles, within bubbles, within bubbles; some of the bubbles are very stable and their temporal reference spans eons. Other bubbles' temporal reference is so short that they are almost impossible to detect from the human BTR reference. Some bubbles contain a bubble of sentience (life) while others carry none (rock).

Please note that with the bubbles of temporal reference having relationships with other BTRs, logic arrays or small relevant truth matrices are present. For example: separately the BTRs that make up a hydrogen atom have nothing to do with the element at all. When together, their relationships form something new with intrinsic qualities -- hydrogen. It is the matrix array of interactions within the BTR that gives each BTR its innate characteristics.

As we examine the periodic chart, it can be seen that these element matrices become increasingly more complicated. As the matrix becomes more complicated, the BTR's physical form becomes larger. These matrices are an aspect of the Truth Matrix extending itself into physical form, just as the DNA BTR matrix extends life into physical form.

In solid matter, if the molecular matrix is not sufficiently complicated enough to become a life vehicle, the matrix usually appears as a crystalline type (with its own form of intrinsic qualities). These molecular matrices give rocks, metals, jewels, semiconductors, etc., their own uniqueness.

If the matrix is capable to be host to life -- as in a DNA molecular matrix, then life starts using the BTRs around it to extend itself and its host matrix. For life to manifest into form there must be matrixes of specific BTRs to use, to recreate its vehicle (the conditions must be right). Each life BTR is a matrix; a logic arrangement of BTRs reproducing something else other than the parts. It becomes a recreating gestalt.

With the inclusion of the matrix concept, matter is not only bubbles, within bubbles, within bubbles, but also matrices, within matrices, within matrices. The more intelligent the life, the more complicated is its logic matrix.

Earlier in this section, it was stated that with each of these five interactions are sets of truths/laws that are relevant to that interaction. For example: some truths/laws of particle physics are not really pertinent to the movement of planetary bodies, just as some truths/laws of magnetism are not really applicable to the formation of a proton. There are some truths they all have in common and there are sets of truths that are associated with each particular interaction. It is as if each physics interaction with its BTR is a special case within a whole system. Each special case has a set of truths/laws that pertain to it. These sets of truths form the BTR and the reality (environment) of the BTR.⁸

This means for every BTR there are truths/laws, realities, and matrices associated with the structure of that BTR. The realities involved will become important when the human BTR is covered.⁹

For most students, the physical BTRs and their arrangement are not really relevant to their personal growth. "Knowing is not controlling." The bubble of temporal reference the student needs to be aware of is the one that contains his or her own temporal matrix. In operating their matrix along lines of Truth, the system -- Love -- will take care of the rest. The remaining chapters are concerned with the human BTR and its temporal matrix.

In keeping with the previous paragraphs, please note there are metaphysical BTRs as well as physical BTRs. A partial list may include: personal thought/emotional sets, temporal ideas of governments and cultures, demons, etc. Some of these metaphysical BTRs will be addressed in later chapters. This section's primary focus is the introduction of BTRs.
