Conventional Understanding

Traditionally, “god” is defined as a supreme being, creator and ruler of the universe, typically viewed as all-powerful, all-knowing, and the source of moral authority. This definition positions god as a separate entity existing somewhere beyond our reality—a transcendent being who created the world but remains fundamentally distinct from it. Religious traditions have further personified this concept, attributing human-like qualities of judgment, jealousy, love, and wrath to this supreme being. This conventional understanding creates an artificial division between creator and creation. By defining god as a separate entity with personal identity traits, we’ve established a framework that positions humanity as subordinate to an external authority. This separation has profound implications for how we understand ourselves and our relationship to existence itself—often leading to patterns of seeking external validation, following prescribed rules, and disconnecting from our innate capacity for direct experience.

Resonant Understanding

Word Cosmology reveals “god” carrying a 6-2-8 resonance pattern, sharing this numeric signature with “universal fulcrum,” “space,” “image,” and “womb,” illuminating its nature not as a separate entity but as the still point around which all motion organizes. Like a mirror that doesn’t create the images it reflects but provides the perfect still surface where reflection becomes possible, god corresponds with the universal fulcrum that doesn’t generate reality through action but enables manifestation through perfect reflection. This transforms our understanding from seeing god as an external creator to recognizing it as the still magnetic center that Russell describes—the reflective principle that controls motion without itself moving. The positioning of god within the third triad (7-9) further suggests its primarily reflective rather than generative function—corresponding with integration and recording rather than initial creation.

Expressions Spectrum Analysis

In balanced expression, this resonance pattern appears as “being present” and “present as field of experience,” revealing how the universal fulcrum naturally maintains stillness while enabling motion. “Build relationships” and “core of one’s being” demonstrate how balanced expressions of this pattern correspond with connection and centeredness. “Energize” and “ordered energy” indicate the organizing influence that naturally emerges from perfect reflection—like how a precisely crafted mirror can focus scattered light into coherent patterns. “Formed body” suggests how this reflective principle enables coherent manifestation without itself becoming form. “Happiness” and “give thanks” show the experiential qualities that correspond with balanced expressions—appreciation emerging naturally when aligned with the still reflective center within experience.

When over-modulated, expressions include “conclusion” and “control attention,” revealing patterns where the reflective stillness becomes rigid fixation. “Self-interest” and “deceive” show what happens when the universal fulcrum becomes identified with particular reflections rather than maintaining its universal reflecting quality. “Demanding” and “force creativity” demonstrate the distortion that occurs when reflection tries to become generation—attempting to produce effects rather than allowing them to emerge through perfect reflection. “Identity attention” and “personal identity” suggest how over-modulation creates false centers that compete with rather than express the universal fulcrum. “Operating system” and “theology” reveal how this pattern appears when systematized into rigid structures—what the biblical tradition calls “graven images” (3-9-3), sharing resonance with “system of control” (3-9-3).

Under-modulated expressions such as “chained” and “barrier” reveal what happens when the reflective quality becomes distorted through insufficient clarity. “Personal identity” appears in both over-modulated and under-modulated expressions, suggesting how identity distorts in different ways when disconnected from the universal fulcrum. “Ache” and “cancer” indicate suffering that corresponds with distorted reflection—like a warped mirror that creates disjointed images. “I am resisting” and “running from experiencing” demonstrate avoidance of the reflective principle that naturally reveals what is. “Insecurity” and “toxic” suggest how under-modulation creates unstable reflections that fail to integrate experience coherently.

Beyond modulation patterns, expressions like “light waves,” “electromagnetic force,” and “center of gravity” also share this resonance pattern. These suggest fundamental principles of reality’s organization rather than particular human experiences.

Russell’s Cosmogony Connection

Walter Russell’s cosmogony precisely illuminates the universal fulcrum nature of god. In “A New Concept of the Universe,” Russell writes:

“The Light of Mind is the zero fulcrum of the wave lever from which motion is projected. Its zero condition is eternal. The unfortunate error of science lies in assuming that the power which belongs solely to the fulcrum of Light-at-rest is in the motion of the lever which simulates that power.”

This passage reveals god not as a being that generates reality through action but as the still magnetic center that enables all motion while remaining motionless—the universal fulcrum from which all wave motion extends and to which it returns. Russell further clarifies:

“God’s sole ‘occupation’ is the building of moving body forms to simulate His One Idea of CAUSE and EFFECT which Creation is. All CAUSE lies within the unconditioned, balanced, magnetic Light of Mind-knowing.”

This explains why “god” shares resonance with “image”—the universal fulcrum doesn’t create separate substances but enables the reflection of unified Light into the appearance of multiplicity. Like a perfectly still pond doesn’t create the sky it reflects but provides the surface where reflection becomes possible, the universal fulcrum doesn’t produce reality but enables its appearance through perfect reflection.

Think of a gyroscope that maintains perfect balance while spinning at high speed. The still center point doesn’t move yet controls all movement around it. Similarly, the god-pattern corresponds with the still center of reality that doesn’t participate in motion yet enables and controls all motion—what Russell calls the “still magnetic Light” around which electric motion organizes.

Practical Implications

This understanding transforms spiritual practice from seeking connection with an external creator to recognizing the universal fulcrum already present within all experience. The balanced expressions suggest approaches based in “being present” and cultivating the reflective quality of awareness rather than trying to produce specific spiritual experiences.

A particularly important insight emerges from the resonance between “god” and “image” (both 6-2-8) contrasted with “graven image” (3-9-3) sharing resonance with “system of control” (3-9-3). This reveals that the biblical prohibition against graven images wasn’t about artistic representation but about rigid systems that attempt to fix and control what is inherently reflective and dynamic. Ironically, many religious institutions create precisely the “graven images” they claim to oppose—not physical statues but rigid theological systems and fixed beliefs that attempt to control and limit the universal fulcrum.

Understanding god as universal fulcrum shifts meditation from a technique for reaching some distant divine realm to recognizing the reflective center that already enables all experience. Rather than seeking to generate spiritual states through effort, practice becomes about cultivating the clear, still reflection that naturally allows experience to organize coherently—”cultivating the space” that shares resonance with “womb” (both 6-2-8).

This perspective challenges both religious personification of god and scientific materialism by revealing the universal fulcrum as neither a separate being nor an absence, but the reflective principle that enables manifestation while transcending it—what Russell calls the “zero point” from which all motion extends and to which it returns. This doesn’t negate religious traditions but invites deeper engagement with their insights beyond literal interpretations, recognizing how their practices might help align with rather than control the universal fulcrum.

By understanding god as the universal fulcrum sharing resonance with space, image, and womb, we open to a more direct relationship with existence—one where the reflective quality of awareness naturally aligns with the reflective principle organizing reality itself. This transforms spiritual development from seeking external authority to recognizing the universal fulcrum already operating as the still center of our own awareness.
