Manipulating
Matter: The Scientific Dictatorship as a Project in the Reconfiguration of
Reality - by Phillip D. Collins - (Posted here by Wes Penre for Illuminati News, June 23,
2004)
In
the article entitled “The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship” (Fall 2003
edition of Paranoia Magazine),
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 also associated with witchcraft or wicca. From the
term wicca, one derives the word wicker (Hoffman, p. 63, 2001). 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, p. 63, 2001). 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, 1997).
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, 1997).
Herein is the final objective of New World Order… the reconfiguration of reality
through the sorcery of technology, specifically the emergent field of
nanotechnology. This is the ultimate end of the Masonic doctrine of “becoming,”
which was disseminated on the popular level as Darwinism.
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, 2003).
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, p. 214, 1990).
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, p. 23, 2001).
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, pp. 13 - 15, 1947).
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.”
Thus, the technocratic elite becomes a god, creating its own paradise and
keeping the rest of the human herd blinded. 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,” 2000).
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,” 1993). 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,” 1982). 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,” 1982).
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, p. 308, 1986).
It is very interesting that Hubbard would cite the Grand Coulee Dam as an
instant when man “made reality face him.” Again, Comenius’ mandate for mankind
to establish “the empire of the human mind over matter” emerges. 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, p. 21, 2001).
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 over 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, p. 173,
1980).
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, p. 173, 1980).
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, p. 175,
1980).
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 capital 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, pp.
306 - 307, 1997).
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, p. 100 - 101, 1961).
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, p. 104, 1961). 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, p. 104, 1961).
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,
p. 104, 1961).
William Sims Bainbridge may prove to be instrumental in the demise of the
individual and the subsequent
submergence of human consciousness within Wells’
“racial mind.” 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. In the report,
one discovers the role that nanotechnology (augmented by other sciences) will
play in tangibly enacting the “endpoint of techne”:
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, p. 1,
2002).
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, p. 1, 2002).
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, p. 1, 2002).
The “endpoint of techne” may be drawing nigh as the Technocracy constructs its
global holodeck. The nadir will be the reconstitution of the Masonic collective
soul and the engineering of a “hive mind” through the sorcery of nanotechnology.
