The purpose of this short article is to explore some of the less conventional theories now beginning to circulate regarding the true meaning and purpose of Western Science.
Few people reading this will believe for a second that the principal hypothesis holds any water whatsoever. And indeed many will likely regard the entire piece as about the most ludicrous conspiracy theory they've ever encountered. I don't blame them for an instant.
In tracing the origins of the school of thought we have come to know as Science, it's necessary to go back to the time of the English monarch, Charles II. And the formation of an organisation called the Royal Society - a group of learned men whose ideas became the basis for many of our current beliefs, both scientific and otherwise.
This school of thought is commonly known as Cartesian Dualism or the Newtonian Paradigm, names referring to two of it's principal creators - Rene Descartes and Isaac Newton.
It hypothesises a solid, material universe comprehensible by examination of its component parts. And a separated mind and body experiencing this universe.
Probably the most fundamental aspect of Royal Society's work was the development of what we now call empiric science - a science that is experimentally reproducible.
The need for experimental reproducibility is today the cornerstone of scientific method. A hypothesis is developed. It is tested experimentally and then other scientists reproduce the tests. If, from examining the results of the experiments, the hypothesis appears to be valid, a theory is developed.
But did Descartes, Newton and the founder members of the Royal Society actually believe in what they taught?
It's my opinion that not only were they fully aware of the incredibly limited breadth of vision of their creation, but that they deliberately conspired to deceive humanity for reasons I'll shortly go into.
Robert Boyle, John Wilkins, John Wallis, John Evelyn, Robert Hooke, Christopher Wren, Isaac Newton and William Petty. These are the names of some of the most important characters involved in the formation of the school of thought that, to this day, totally permeates our lives. The materialist logic that ultimately dictates our conscious and even subconscious thought processes.
Let's have a look at the background of these people and see if we notice anything interesting.
What thing did the founder members of the Royal Society have in common?
Well, they were all very senior members, Grandmasters in fact, of the Rosicrucians - a Judaeo-Christian occult order whose origins are shrouded in mystery.
Rosicrucianism has, in the background, been highly influential in the development of modern society. And is regarded as the occult or mystical source of freemasonry. In the modern era, it is believed to have resurfaced following the discovery of the ancient tomb of Christian Rosencreutz in Germany. It's founder in the modern era is believed by many to have been Francis Bacon.
Rosicrucianism derives its mystical knowledge from two principal sources - The Qabbala and The Tarot. The Qabbala is a collection of occult principles known to the ancient Hebrews, preserved in various forms. The Tarot, a collection of 78 cards originating from the city of Fez, in Northern Morocco, around the beginning of the thirteenth century.
Here are a few of the typical beliefs of seventeenth century Rosicrucians:
(i) The universe is fundamentally non-material and composed of the same thing. Solidity is illusory. Everything develops from this "one-thing" by adaptation.
(ii) The human being is fundamentally a multi-dimensional, immortal entity created by and existing in God. We have multiple bodies, some mortal, some immortal. Experiences on the physical plane feed information back up the system and cause development at the immortal level.
(iii) To unlock the true secrets of the physical world, (to perform magic), one must make use of the relationship between subconsciousness and self-consciousness. The manipulation of visual imagery between these two vortices is the key.
You don't need to be a Science major to see that little of this sits comfortably with the materialist belief systems handed down to us by these people. (Though you may notice that the first belief is actually very close to what many quantum physicists tell us the universe is actually like.)
So, here we have a group of learned men, all very serious devotees of an occult order. Yet, all gathering together to create a school of thought utterly at odds with it. Creating a system utterly dependent on the experimental and reproducible observation of phenomena, when they knew all the time that the secrets of the universe could far easier be accessed by subjective development.
Why did they spend years building a school of scientific thought absolutely and totally dependent on concepts they fully knew were fatally flawed?
Were they all suddenly embarrassed by the foolishness of these occult beliefs? Unlikely, as these were all very powerful and influential people. (Apart from being Rosicrucians, they were all also very senior level freemasons). They didn't need to care what others thought of them. So why did they do it?
I suggest that they did it for the specific purpose of concealing occult knowledge from the masses. They created and gave validity to a system of highly limited beliefs simply to preserve their own knowledge between themselves and the order they were members of.
It is interesting to note that from the seventeenth century onward, bright young men and women were drawn less and less into studying the occult, and more and more into studying empiric science. Within about 150 years, empiric science was revered as the one, true belief and the occult ridiculed as superstitious nonsense.
A situation that remains to this day.
Now let's move on to an even more sinister area of activities of the Royal Society. The establishment of the modern mass media. And how our exposure to it actually blocks our spiritual development!
Look at what Rosicrucians believed about the nature of the Universe and the Self. The universe we each of us experience is created at the level of the subconscious mind. The patterns we impress upon our subconscious via our conscious interpretation of our experiences AFFECT what we typically conceive of as physical reality. In other words, the events that occur in our lives are brought to us, not by causal interactions with our environment, but by the machinations of the subconscious mind. They held that all so-called "matter" or substance was ultimately the product of the subconscious mind.
Bombard the conscious mind with information, therefore, that can only be interpreted and acted on by one form of dualist conscious processing, as the modern mass media does very well, and the Universe we experience becomes logical and obedient to the laws of science. We are literally thinking the causal universe into existence!
(Before you collapse in hysterics at such lunacy, remember for a moment that the very people who created our existing school of beliefs, people like Rene Descartes and Isaac Newton, must have believed this implicitly. They were both obsessed with what we know as magic. Newton alone spent decades of his life studying the occult.)
Chronic overexposure to modern mass media, (ie everyday life for most of us), with its increasing uniformity of information formatting, causes the subconscious to be configured in a materialist, objective way. We begin to create the logical, causal universe we know so well, simply by being surrounded by TV and newspapers all our life.
The mass media therefore, can actually be thought of as an occult brainwashing technique! Because our subconscious minds are all being formatted into a materialist structure by our exposure to media, the universe we experience, the events that come to us in our lives, all begin to all conform to the laws of rational science.
The truth of the matter is that our real level of scientific knowledge now is minimal compared to that held in the 17th Century. Although we've succeeded in unlocking some amazing secrets in the so-called "material world", this only occurred because the true nature of the universe was successfully concealed from generations of scientists.
And the legacy of these achievements is a mass media literally imprisoning us in a material world.
The history of the last three hundred and fifty odd years is the history of a black magic control fantasy made manifest before our very eyes!
