| Manipulating
Matter
The Scientific Dictatorship as a Project in the Reconfiguration
of Reality
by Phillip D. Collins
Comenius
addressed the first formal scientists as "illuminati" and
outlined their scientific purpose, "…which is to secure…the
empire of the human mind over matter."
In the article
entitled "The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship"
(found at www.biped.info), we examined the transmogrification
of the elite's religious power structure into a technocratic
oligarchy legitimized predominantly by science. The history
and background of this "scientific dictatorship" is a conspiracy,
created and micro-managed by the historical tide of Darwinism,
which has its foundations in Freemasonry. In this article,
we shall examine the "scientific dictatorship" as an enormous
project in the re-sculpting of reality itself.
The Technocracy
Freemason Aldous Huxley coined the term "scientific
dictatorship" and presented an allegorized version of the
concept in his famous roman 'a clef entitled Brave
New World. Huxley was mentored by Freemason H.G. Wells,
who also presented a fictionalized "scientific dictatorship"
under the appellation of the "Technocracy." This is an interesting
designation for a world government managed by functional
elites and scientists. It is derived from the Greek word
techne, which means craft. Given Wells' membership
in the Craft of Freemasonry, the synchronicity becomes apparent.
Moreover, the
term craft is associated with witchcraft or wicca.
From the term wicca, one derives the word wicker
(Hoffman, 63). Examining this word a little closer, Michael
Hoffman explains: "The word wicker has many denotations
and connotations, one of which is 'to bend,' as in the 'bending'
of reality'" (Hoffman, 63). This is especially interesting
when considering the words of Mark Pesce, co-inventor of
Virtual Reality Modeling Language. Pesce writes: "The enduring
archetype of techne within the pre-Modern era is magic,
of an environment that conforms entirely to the will of
being" (Pesce).
Techne
is also from whence the word technology is derived.
The significance of this fact becomes evident when Pesce
opines:
Each endpoint
of techne has an expression in the modern world as a myth
of fundamental direction -- the mastery of matter, and the
collection of spirit. The myth of matter comes to its end
as the absolute expression of will as artifact; in a word,
nanotechnology (Pesce).
Herein is the
final objective of New World Order … the reconfiguration
of reality through the sorcery of technology.
Radical Empiricism:
The Epistemological Pretext for Re-Sculpting Reality
As
we have established in previous articles, most of contemporary
science is predicated upon empiricism. This is the epistemological
stance that all knowledge is derived exclusively through
the senses. Lyndon LaRouche explains the inherent flaws
of empiricism:
By the nature
of our processes of sense-perception, our direct perception
of the world "outside our skins" (so to speak) does not
show us that world "outside our skins," but, rather, the
impact of that unperceived real world upon the biology of
our mental-sensory processes. In other words, the shadows
on the wall of Plato's Cave (LaRouche).
Thus, the world
becomes little more than an ever-shifting pliancy of impressions.
All that a percipient surveys is an amorphous amalgam of
"shadows." It comes as little surprise that an exclusively
empirical approach relegates causality to the realm of metaphysical
fantasy. The obviation of causality holds enormous ramifications
for science.
What is perceived
as A causing B could be merely a consequence
of circumstantial juxtaposition. Although temporal succession
and spatial proximity are axiomatic, causal connection is
not. Affirmation of causal relationships is impossible.
Given the absence of causality, all of a scientist's findings
must be taken upon faith. Ironically, science relies on
the affirmation of such cause and effect relationships.
This is all one can deduce while working under the paradigm
of radical empiricism. Thus, the elite merely exchanged
one form of mysticism for another. It comes as little surprise
that, within certain occult circles, contemporary science
is considered sorcery disseminated on the popular level.
For instance, Satanic high priest Anton LeVey regarded science
and technology as "sanctioned, but ineffectual 'occultism'"
(Raschke, 214).
In fact, science
has become a new form of sorcery for the manipulation of
matter. According to the epistemology of empiricism, reality
is little more than a quagmire of impressions. It is analogous
to a holograph, the fabric of which is pliable enough to
be manipulated. Thus, reality becomes the ever-shifting
canvas upon which scientists paint whatever they wish. The
scientist's role in this reconfiguration of reality was
delineated in an esoteric tract entitled The Way of Light.
Authored by Comenius in 1668, the manifesto was dedicated
to the British Royal Society. Researcher Michael Hoffman
elaborates:
In it, Comenius
addressed the first formal scientists as "illuminati" and
outlined their scientific purpose, "…which is to
secure…the empire of the human mind over matter"
[emphasis added] (Hoffman, 23).
Years later,
Bertrand Russell would recapitulate the "illuminati's" (i.e.,
scientists') role in the establishment of "the empire of
the human mind over matter." Redefining science as an instrument
of radical empiricism, Russell wrote:
The way in which
science arrives at its beliefs is quite different from that
of medieval theology. Experience has shown that it is dangerous
to start from general principles and proceed deductively,
both because the principles may be untrue and because the
reasoning based upon them may be fallacious. Science starts,
not from large assumptions, but from particular facts discovered
by observation or experiment. From a number of such facts
a general rule is arrived at, of which, if it is true, the
facts in question are instances… Science thus encourages
abandonment of the search for absolute truth, which belongs
to any theory that can be successfully employed in inventions
or in predicting the future. "Technical" truth is a matter
of degree: a theory from which more successful inventions
and predictions spring is truer than one which gives rise
to fewer. "Knowledge" ceases to be a mental mirror of
the universe, and becomes merely a practical tool in the
manipulation of matter [emphasis added] (Russell, 13
- 15).
In other words,
science or "knowledge" becomes the instrument by which the
"illuminati" re-sculpts reality. It also becomes an epistemological
weapon against the minds of men, wielded by the proverbial
Descartean "evil demon." This was the central precept of
Weishaupt's Illuminati and the conceit of the Technocracy
today: God was not in the beginning, but evolved from Man
in the end. According to this conceit, Man could recreate
Eden without the God. It comes as little surprise that sci-fi
predictive programmer and British intelligence asset Arthur
C. Clarke commented: "Any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic."
The Global
Holodeck
The technocratic agenda of reconfiguring the "holograph
of reality" is most clearly delineated by William Sims Bainbridge,
sociologist and member of the National Science Foundation.
Citing sci-fi predictive programmer Gene Roddenberry, Bainbridge
writes:
An interesting
feature of the popular Star Trek universe is that mass-media
popular culture is absent from its fictional future world.
Several characters play musical instruments and the preferred
styles of music are classical, whether European or belonging
to some other high culture. Perhaps precisely because the
characters are living very future-oriented lives, they turn
to historical sources like Mozart for their aesthetic recreation.
Presumably, the copyrights have all expired. Instead of
passively watching television programmes and movies, they
programme their own "holodeck" virtual reality dramas in
which they play active roles, often with historical settings.
Government is certainly not in the science fiction business,
but government-encouraged research is currently developing
the technology to realise the Star Trek prophecies (Bainbridge,
"Memorials").
Evidently, government-sponsored
research programs are already dedicated to the Technocracy's
vision of re-sculpting reality. Bainbridge is certainly
no stranger to this vision, as is evidenced by his association
with Scientology. In Religion and the Social Order,
Bainbridge presented a mandate for scientists to become
"religious engineers" in the development of a new world
religion (Bainbridge, "New Religions, Science, and Secularization").
This new world religion, which Bainbridge calls a "Church
of God Galactic," would find its origins with science fiction
literature (Bainbridge, "Religions for a Galactic Civilization").
In the formulation of his "Church," Bainbridge used the
scientistic cult of Scientology as a working model:
Today there
exists one highly effective religion actually derived from
science fiction, one which fits all the known sociological
requirements for a successful Church of God Galactic. I
refer, of course, to Scientology (Bainbridge, "Religions
for a Galactic Civilization").
In the Scientologist
bible, L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics, one finds a reiteration
of Comenius' mission statement delivered to the "illuminati"
(i.e., scientists). Hubbard states:
Man
has something more: some people call it imagination, some
call it this or call it that; but whatever it is called,
it adds up to the interesting fact that man is not content
merely to "face reality" as most other life forms are. Man
makes reality face him. Propaganda about "the
necessity of facing reality," like propaganda to the effect
that a man could be driven mad by a "childhood
delusion" (whatever that is), does not face the reality
that where the beaver down his ages of evolution built mud
dams and keeps on building mud dams, man graduates in a
half century from a stone and wood dam to make a mill wheel
pond to structures like Grand Coulee Dam, and changes the
whole and entire aspect of a respectable portion of nature's
real estate from a desert to productive soil, from a flow
of water to lightening bolts (Hubbard, 308).
It is
very interesting that Hubbard would cite the Grand Coulee
Dam as an instant when man "made reality face him." Discussing
the "Saturnian-masonic" era of erecting megalithic structures,
Hoffman observes:
Actually,
with some crucial exceptions, the rise of the megaliths
marked the rise of the Hermetic Academy into its dominant
physical phase. The theory is that the megaliths "pin down"
natural forces, helping to subdue nature's
most savage furies. We marvel today at the Hoover Dam but
that symbol laden construction is but a crude parody of
the technology of the megaliths which helped to "dam" the
wildest forces of nature (Hoffman, 21).
Evidently, men
like Hubbard and Bainbridge see something entirely different
when they view structures like the Grand Coulee Dam and
the Hoover Dam. They are viewing the "endpoint of techne
-- the mastery of matter." It is the Technocracy's project
in consciously shaping the terrain of the global holodeck.
The
"Hive Mind"
As
was established in the previous article covering this topic,
Darwin's theory of evolution was cribbed liberally from
Freemasonry's occult doctrine of "becoming." According to
this doctrine, humanity was gradually evolving towards apotheosis.
The architecture of Masonry's evolutionary mythology is
a counterpart to the Biblical account humanity's expulsion
from Eden. However, there are some major modifications.
In The Meaning of Masonry, W.L. Wilmshurst alleges
that:
In all Scriptures
and cosmologies the tradition is universal of a "Golden
Age," an age of comparative innocence, wisdom and spirituality,
in which racial unity [emphasis added, ed. note:
Meaning one race, not concord in race relations] and individual
happiness and enlightenment prevailed; in which there was
that open vision for want of which a people perisheth, but
in virtue of which men were once in conscious conversation
with the unseen world and were shepherded, taught and guided
by the "gods" or discarnate superintendents of the infant
race, who imparted to them the sure and indefeasible principles
upon which their spiritual welfare and evolution
[emphasis added] depended (Wilmshurst, 173).
However, Wilmshurst
contends that a peregrination of human consciousness away
from the "racial mind" caused humanity to fall from its
former glory:
The tradition
is also universal of the collective soul [emphasis
added] of the human race having sustained a "fall," a moral
declension from its true path of life and evolution
[emphasis added], which has severed it almost entirely from
its creative source, and which, as the ages advanced, has
involved its sinking more and more deeply into physical
conditions, its splitting up from unity employing a single
language into a diversity of conflicting races of different
speeches and degrees of moral advancement [emphasis
added], accompanied by a progressive densification of the
material body and a corresponding darkening of the mind
and atrophy of the spiritual consciousness (Wilmshurst,
173).
Recall Pesce's
statement that techne was expressed in the modern
world as the "collection of spirit." This is precisely the
objective of Masonry… the "collection of spirit" through
the facilitation of evolution! Wilmshurst proceeds to reveal
the chief means by which this will be achieved:
Unable to effect
its [Man's] own recovery it required skilled scientific
[emphasis added] assistance from other sources to bring
about its restoration. Whence could come that skill and
scientific [emphasis added] knowledge if not from
the Divine and now invisible world, from those "gods" and
angelic guardians of the erring race of whom all ancient
traditions and sacred writings tell? Would not that regenerative
method be properly described if it were called, as in Masonry
it is called, a "heavenly science" [emphasis added],
and welcomed in the words that Masons in fact use, "Hail,
Royal Art!" (Wilmshurst, 175).
Can there be
any wonder why Freemasons Aldous Huxley and H.G. Wells were
proponents of a "scientific dictatorship?" It is an intrinsic
feature of their Masonic heritage. This heritage led them
to bestow absolute epistemological primacy upon Science,
spelled with a "S" to denote its divine role in man's purported
ascent towards apotheosis and the reconstitution of the
Masonic "collective soul." This is scientism. In a speech
before the Royal Institute of International Affairs in 1936,
H.G. Wells succinctly expressed the core precept of scientism:
"At first the
realization of the ineffectiveness of our best thought and
knowledge struck only a few people, like Mr. Maynard Keynes,
for example… It is science and not men of science
that we want to enlighten and animate our politics and rule
the world" (qutd. in Keith, Mind Control, World
Control, 306 - 307).
Wells
also wrote about the mythological "collective soul," which
he dubbed "The Mind of the Race." W. Warren Wagar
elaborates on Wells' "racial mind" doctrine:
It was at once
the capstone and the mortar of his [Wells'] faith: a belief
in the emergence in human evolution of a collective racial
being with the collective racial mind, which gathered the
results of the individual mental effort into a single fund
of racial wisdom and grew gradually toward organic consciousness
of itself. Individuals could escape the frustration inherent
in the fact of their individuality and mortality only by
consecrating their lives to the service of the Mind of the
Race (Wagar, 100 - 101).
Wells believed
that the final coalescence of human consciousness into a
"racial mind" would result in the emergence not of a mere
man, but of perfected Man with a capitalized M (Wagar, 104).
The M is capitalized to denote the purported divinity that
is dormant within humanity. Wells' Weltanschauung remained
consistent with the Masonic themes of a "collective soul"
and man's evolutionary ascent towards deification. In H.G.
Wells and the World State, author Warren Wagar elaborates:
But the transcendent
reality Wells actually professed to see emerging here and
now was the collective being of humanity, rather than any
"God." At the level of the individual the species Homo
sapiens might be nothing more than a swarm of unique
individuals descended in an unbroken sequence from remote
protozoan ancestors; yet Homo sapiens was more than
a name. At this moment in cosmic time it also denoted a
class of similar if not identical individuals, evolving
in ceaseless interaction with one another, and through the
unique gift of speech able to pool their experiences and
so give birth to a higher order of being entirely: a racial
memory, a collective mind [emphasis added], the emergent
intelligence of an emergent racial being (Wagar, 104).
According to
Wells' Weltanschauung, the ecumenical singularity into which
humanity was being compressed by evolution would relegate
the individual to obsolescence:
As Wells grew
older, he tended to look at life more and more from the
synthetic level of racial being and less and less from the
analytical level of the individual. At the end of his spiritual
pilgrimage he virtually accepted the realist argument that
the whole is real and the individual an illusion (Wagar,
104).
William Sims
Bainbridge may prove to be instrumental in the demise of
the individual. In an article entitled "US report foretells
of brave new world," journalist Nathan Cochrane examines
Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance,
a report edited and contributed to by Bainbridge:
A draft government
report says we will alter human evolution [emphasis
added] within 20 years by combining what we know of nanotechnology,
biotechnology, IT and cognitive sciences. The 405-page report
sponsored by the US National Science Foundation and Commerce
Department, Converging Technologies for Improving Human
Performance, calls for a broad-based research program to
improve human performance leading to telepathy, machine-to-human
communication, amplified personal sensory devices and enhanced
intellectual capacity (Cochrane, 1).
Elaborating
on this research program, Cochrane explains how this convergent-technologies
plan would be instrumental in the unification of mass consciousness:
People may download
their consciousnesses into computers or other bodies even
on the other side of the solar system, or participate in
a giant "hive mind", a network of intelligences connected
through ultra-fast communications networks. "With knowledge
no longer encapsulated in individuals, the distinction between
individuals and the entirety of humanity would blur," the
report says. "Think Vulcan mind-meld. We would perhaps become
more of a hive mind - an enormous, single, intelligent entity"
(Cochrane, 1).
Of course, preparations
must be made for the humanity's comfortable acclimation
to this new "hive mind." Cochrane writes:
The report says
the abilities are within our grasp but will require an intense
public-relations effort to "prepare key organisations and
societal activities for the changes made possible by converging
technologies", and to counter concern over "ethical, legal
and moral" issues. Education should be overhauled down to
the primary-school level to bridge curriculum gaps between
disparate subject areas (Cochrane, 1).
The "endpoint
of techne" may be drawing nigh as the Technocracy constructs
its global holodeck.
