Neo-Tech - The Devils New Tool?
Johanson
Listen up, I would like to start a discussion focusin on Neo-Tech
and it's possible ties to satanism. For the neo-techers I am sure
you won't onject, seeing as in your online book you say that by
attacking the values created by neo-tech one is only going to help
spread the word. Let's try to see what the others say.
Notice how I also included people who are against religion in this
cross-post. I feel that the groups involved would all be interested
in discussing these issues so the cross-post is appropriate.
Here is a neo-tech advantage:
At first you will notice that what they say is essentially true, but
in my opinion only a half truth. I know that by posting this I may
be getting more people (suckers) interested in becoming involved
with the Neo-Tech cult simply because of their belief of a God (or
non belief), but I don't mind because I know the majority will be
helped by being shown the lie of NT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objectivist/Neo-Tech Advantage #30 : The God Concept: A Tool Of Destruction
Upon gaining Neo-Tech knowledge one quickly realizes the "God" concept for
what it is; a clever hoax long successful in conning entire populations out
of their earned power/prosperity. By subverting the inherent beauty of the
"individual" as merely a whimsical creation of some higher power/God, the
promoter of such theologies begins the painful process of sucking their
victims dry until they are used and used up.
Preying on bicameral tendencies, an entire matrix is created; it's sole
purpose to foist unearned guilt on the "true believer." Each mystical unit
is integrated into the matrix, e.g. "original sin." Mankind becomes evil.
Hi s moral desire for happiness through honest value production is attacked
through the God concept. He somehow becomes "stained" by sheer virtue of
existing, and thus must spend his entire life "repenting" through
sacrifice. This sacrifice conveniently benefits everyone from master
neocheaters like the Pope to lower level televangelists, pastors, rabbis,
etc. It is a never ending cycle of self-hatred and confusion.
To perhaps best understand the "God" concept as a neocheating tool one
might view institutionalized religion from the widest possible scope;
"business-like" thinking; the antithesis of mysticism and the only real
source of earned values. Preying on bicameral tendencies, the "mark" is
offered a good sounding alternative to the honesty and effort required to
succeed in life. All the answers are provided. Often included is low effort
eternal "salvation;" if only one sacrifices everything to the higher cause.
To effectively execute this fraud on a global scale a neocheating manual
would naturally be required.
Just as a business creates a marketing/business plan why should any well
run scam be different? The bible becomes THE tool to keep the marks from
getting wise to the hoax. Specious and vague, albeit good sounding (to the
bicameral mind only) half truths are woven into a brilliant tapestry of
deception. The neocheater then becomes (and this is almost laughable) the
authority on "THE AUTHORITY." Thus being the ultimate authority on the
ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, the pope successfully robs countless millions around
the world of their earned power and prosperity.
Over time the neocheaters' destructions are cleverly used as further
evidence of mankind's fundamental "impurity/defectiveness." As society
becomes increasingly irrational and destructive clever neocheaters use such
examples as the "erosion of family values" as further proof of their
righteousness.
Truly such master neocheating is a vicious cycle culminating in the
selfsame apocalypse prophesied by the so-called "Good Book." Thus the
matrix has heretofore been unbreakable. But Neo-Tech's laser like power to
put f acts into their widest possible context easily reveals such
manipulations for the hoax they are.
Advantage #30 -- The God Concept -- A Tool of Destruction
The acceptance of irrational altruism and mysticism is needed to negate
objective values and individual rights, to rationalize the enslavement of
entire nations, to slaughter millions.
For 2000 years the God concept has been the most effective tool of
professional mystics and neocheaters for usurping a material and
psychological living from the value producers. Most God concept frauds
promote the "virtues" of humility, altruism, egalitarianism, selflessness,
"higher causes", and sacrifice. Such specious "virtues" are designed to
generate guilt and lower self-esteem.
Once burdened with false guilt, the producers will more readily hand over
or sacrifice their earned values to non-producers, feeling that they don't
truly deserve them. These God-concept tools of altruism and mysticism are
also used in idealistic philosophies such as those expressed by Stalin,
Hitler, and Mao to justify the slaughter of millions for the greater good
of the State.

If you are using "devil" and "Satan" as they are used in the Bible,
I'd be willing to discuss it.
Devil means "slanderer" and Satan means "adversary."
You can assert that these are slanderers and adversaries of God -- the
Living God. I happen to speak for the Living God. Care to continue
this discussion?

Here is something from one of the Neo-Tech books ("the
ones bound in Satanic or funeral black..."):
[begin quote from the eeevil Neo-Tech book]
"THE FINAL WAR
"For 2000 years, professional mystics have
prophesied that the world will end during the
20th century. Now, today, late in the 20th
century, their world is indeed ending. Their
world is ending through the emerging war with
the other world--the world of fully integrated
honesty, the world of Neo-Tech. Their world,
being an uncompetitive remnant of nature's
bicameral past, is fatally diseased with mysticism.
Thus, in their final war with Neo-Tech, their
dying world will crumble to nothing.
"WHO WILL WIN AT ARMAGEDDON?
"Professional mystics and value-destroying
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
neocheaters have encountered their ANTICHRIST
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in Neo-Tech. Their Armageddon has come; the
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ultimate battle has begun. [emphasis mine.]
The battle is between good and evil, between
honesty and dishonesty, between value producers
and value destroyers, between Neo-Tech and
mysticism. ...Yes, good will triumph over
evil. And, as everyone will soon discover,
they, the professional mystics and neocheaters,
are and always have been the arch evil disguised
as the good. But, now, through the war of two
worlds, their world will end forever. ...With
their world gone forever, war and value
destruction will vanish forever.
"WHY NEO-TECH VANQUISHES MYSTICISM AND NEOCHEATING
"In the world of mysticism, cause and effect
are irratrionally reversed: feelings beget
actions instead of actions begetting feelings.
For example, in the world of mysticism, arbitrary
and cynical feelings beget unhappy, destructive
livings. While, in the world of Neo-Tech, consistent
and productive livings beget happy, constructive
feelings. The mystical world is sick and out of
control. The Neo-Tech world is healthy and in
control. ...Thus, Neo-Tech will always vanquish
mysticism in any confrontation, battle, or war."
[end quote from NT]
So is Neo-Tech from the pit of Hell?
Is Frank R. Wallace the antichrist and
Mark Hamilton his demonic servant?
To those who have any idea, In what way do
you think Neo-Tech and Satanism are similar?
How does:
"Any chosen action that purposely benefits the
human organism or society is morally good and right."
compare to:
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
Thanks for your time here...

The Golden Helmet
versus
Armed Bureaucracies
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
Can the following battles be won on planet Earth: Good versus
evil. Justice versus injustice. Prosperity versus poverty. And
more: Rationality versus irrationality, peace versus war, life
versus death. Yes, all those battles can be won. Victory is
certain -- perhaps by 2000 AD or even earlier.
Why is victory certain over the next decade? The survival of all
purposely harmful politicians and government officials depends on
public acceptance of armed bureaucracies. That acceptance occurs
through political and media deceptions. To perpetuate such
deceptions, the integrated honesty of Neo-Tech and the wide-scope
accounting of the Golden Helmet must be kept hidden or suppressed.
Yet, every act to suppress Neo-Tech and its Golden Helmet
increases public desires to depoliticize government as first begun
in America during its 1994 elections.
This report describes how Neo-Tech and Golden Helmets will
eventually depoliticize government and eliminate its armed
bureaucracies. This report also reveals how the violent attacks on
Neo-Tech and its Golden Helmet by armed bureaucrats in both 1986
and 1990 began the dynamics for eliminating armed bureaucrats from
government. And finally, this report shows how every aggression
inflicted on Neo-Tech and its Golden Helmet subverts the
perpetrators and draws them toward being legislated out of
existence. ...That elimination of armed bureaucrats will bring
limitless prosperity to America as identified in this report.
* * *
By shunning publicity and the media since 1981, Neo-Tech has
quietly spread its political and religious subversions worldwide.
Published in twelve languages, Neo-Tech is distributed in 156
countries. It is now too late to stop the Neo-Tech dynamic of
fully integrated honesty and its wide-scope accountability.
Neo-Tech has been the underlying dynamic subverting destructive
politics and organized religion for the past decade. Neo-Tech has
been the deep-root cause of (1) collapsing totalitarian
governments, such as in Eastern Europe, (2) eroding the authority
of Western religions, such as Roman Catholicism, (3) removing from
office economically and socially destructive politicians, such as
begun in America during its 1994 elections. In turn, that Neo-Tech
dynamic is now undermining economically and socially destructive
bureaucracies worldwide, including America's most-harmful armed
bureaucracies such as the ATF, DEA, EPA, FDA, INS, IRS.
Independent of every quarter in today's Establishment, the
Neo-Tech/Golden-Helmet dynamic quietly affected the 1994 elections
and will control future elections. Moreover, that dynamic will
increasingly vanish harmful politicians, including the still
redeemable President Clinton [ 1 ]. Indeed, the constant
undermining of harmful people by Neo-Tech will eventually
eliminate all destructive bureaucrats, judges, and lawyers.
Neo-Tech, which means fully integrated honesty, works through the
federal courts, the United States Congress, and the American
public to end the abuses of government power and violations of
human rights. For example, after nine years of working through the
courts and congress, progress toward ending the social
destructiveness of armed IRS agents is today taking legal form
through congressional-leaders Bill Archer and Dick Armey.
Likewise, presidential-candidate Senator Richard Lugar is now
proposing the total elimination of the IRS.
In contrast to local policemen who serve to protect life and
property, armed bureaucrats serve to harm life and property.
Today, the increasing social and physical harms caused by
politicized armed bureaucrats are endangering all federal
employees and their innocent families. ...Bureaucrats, not
law-abiding citizens, must be disarmed.
As with Shakespeare's Iago in Othello, an armed bureaucrat exists
not to produce values but to destroy them, not to bring social
harmony but to disrupt it. As with Sophocles' Antigone, the
conflict between Neo-Tech and politicized armed bureaucracies is
the conflict between rational values and irrational burdens. That
conflict evolves from the deepest issues of right versus wrong,
honesty versus dishonesty, and protective government versus
destructive government.
Neo-Tech will bring peace to America and trust in government by
eliminating armed bureaucrats.
Golden-Helmet economics backed by nonpolitical objective law could
be in place by 2000 AD or earlier. ...Limitless prosperity and
happiness will then be available for everyone worldwide.

THE NINE SATANIC STATEMENTS
Church of Satan Anton S. LaVey
Post Office Box 7633
San Francisco, California 94120
(1) Satan represents indulgence, instead
of abstinence!
(2) Satan represents vital existence,
instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
(3) Satan represents undefiled wisdom,
instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
(4) Satan represents kindness to those who
deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates!
(5) Satan represents vengeance, instead of
turning the other cheek!
(6) Satan represents responsibility for the
responsible, instead of concern for psychic
vampires!
(7) Satan represents man as just another animal,
sometimes better more often worse than those
that walk on all fours, who, because of his
"divine and intellectual development" has
become the most vicious animal of them all!
(8) Satan represents all of the so-called sins,
as they lead to physical, mental, or emotional
gratification!
(9) Satan has been the best friend that the church
has ever had, as he has kept it in business
all of these years!
Beyond the above principles, Satanists generally oppose the use of
narcotics which dull the
senses, and suicide, which cuts off life
(the great indulgence), and stand firmly for law and order.

Facsinating!
I'd always though that it was simply another religion. Judging by what you
post here, I'd have to be in staunch agreement with the lion's share of it.
Big disagreement with #7 though. But taken in a certain context, it could
have valuable meaning from the context of the anticivilization in which we
live.

Neo-Tech represents the individual as the supreme
value in the universe, who, because of his
consciousness, is capable of understanding anything
in existence, but conversely, is also capable
of destroying himself and his world.
>(8) Satan represents all of the so-called sins,

Neo-Tech represents the antithesis of the self-serving
Establishment, the status-quo, as the collapsing
of which eventually leads to individual freedom,
excitement, and eternal happiness.
>(9) Satan has been the best friend that the church

Neo-Tech will be the worst enemy of mystical religion
and parasitical government, as NT will collapse the
2000-year external authority hoax.

As well with Neo-Tech advocates; however, they believe
everyone is ultimately responsible for their own
lives and happiness, and everyone has the right to do
with their lives what ever they wish--short of
initiatory force--including the taking of one's
own life.

the Bible to be a real person or thing, others believe it is a metaphor
for a way of thinking. In the Bible the Devil many times tries to temp

body and mind for dumping mysticism (or the belief in god). Promising
everyone power and riches and great sex. He mixes in alot of truth
then distorts the rest to prove this to be a fact (that one must dump
mysticism to be happy), which is why NT is destructive and exactly
what they are trying to cure. Which is why when NT'rs say there cannot
be any contradiction within reality they are not realizing that NT
is the biggest contradiction. Many times in fact. As a believer of the

NT focuses on Christianity and it's past mistakes made by humand who
were irrational, and then says it's because Christianity is irrational,
when in fact it's the idiots who don't interpret it properly who are.
Neo-Tech takes advantage of this in order to push forward it's lies
and deceptions. It's not hard to figure this out, unless you are one
of the unfortunate ones who get sucked into the cult. Then Wally
can make lots of money off of you by selling you new discoveries

NT argues against the non-existing dead gods of the religious

I use God in my arguments but they have yet to put together an

I didn't want to use the word "stupid". If you think your attacks on the

the wrong word.

"Pity" apparently didn't do your views justice either. "Pathetic" then.
Look, Scott, before you start posting words nastier than "stupid" and
"pathetic", do me and everyone else on this newsgroup a favor. Pick a
Catholic topic. Make a point *without posting a hundred lines of Neo-Tech
propaganda*, and let's see if we can have an intelligent discussion. If
you can't do that, find another newsgroup.

About the author:
Yasuhiko Kimura is a professional thinker/businessman and a writer/researcher
in the fields of philosophy, science, and business. Born in Japan in 1954 in a
highly mystical atmosphere, Mr. Kimura was trained to be a priest/scholar in a
Zen Buddhist order in his early twenties and later traveled to India for his
further study in Eastern philosophy and psychology. His aptitude for for
mathematical logic and interest in science eventually made him reject an
anti-reason philosophy and brought him to the discovery of the
*EPISTEMOLOGICAL INVERSIONS* of the cognitive process which characterize all
mystical philosophies. His reading in 1984-1985 of Julian Jaynes'
THE ORIGIN OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE BREAKDOWN OF THE BICAMERAL MIND
and NEO-TECH firmly established him in the task of eradicating mysticism
from the planet.
THE VOICE OF HONESTY
For three millennia since the dawn of consciousness, humanity has lived
under the spell of mysticism. Mysticism is the disease, epistemological
disease, of human consciousness which promotes, internally as well as
externally, false notions that create problems where none in fact exist.
Mysticism is the seed of dishonesty that involves rationalizations, non
sequiturs, and mind-generated "truths" and "realities." Mysticism is also the
ground of neocheating wherein the seed of dishonesty proliferates into the
monstrous noxiousness that destroys values and causes suffering.
However, despite all-afflicting, omnipresent mysticism, amidst pervasive
destruction and suffering effected by noxious neocheating, man has brought
a monumental edifice of knowledge and values into existence. That edifice
of knowledge and values is literally the monument of man's virtues -- of
heroic effort and honesty exerted countless times by the producers of
values among us. Such value producers include Philolaus, Aristarchus, and
Copernicus in astronomy; Galileo, Newton, and Einstein in physics;
Aristotle, Ayn Rand, and Frank R. Wallace in philosophy; and Jay Gould,
Henry Ford, Mark Hamilton, and Soichiro Honda in business.
Honesty needs no support save the evidence of reality, while dishonesty
begets myriad distortions of reality in order to sustain its frail existence.
The voice of honesty is confident, firm, yet quiet. The voice of dishonesty
is uncertain, flimsy, but loud. The loud voice of dishonesty seems to have
prevailed throughout history by the sheer force of its volume, yet it is the
voice of honesty that has permeated the world and carried humanity always
forward. The roots of dishonesty are now identified for the first time by
Neo-Tech (the voice of fully integrated honesty based on contextual facts
and objective reality). Neo-Tech will forever uproot dishonesty by curing
mysticism and eradicating neocheating. and thus the voice of dishonesty
will no longer be heard on this planet.
Through Neo-Tech, at last the time has come for the voice of honesty to
prevail. At last the time has come for the lives of honest men and women to
soar into power, prosperity, and happiness. At last the time has come for
the Neo-Tech world to unfold. In light of the monumental values that man
has produced within the last three millennia despite prevalent mysticism
and neocheating, imagine how much value humanity can produce without
mysticism and neocheating. It is indeed to imagine the unimaginable and to
think the unthinkable. For, with Neo-Tech (fully integrated honesty),
humanity now steps into the dimension of infinity and the realm of
eternity...into infinite value and eternal life.
History, science, and philosophy interweave in harmony throughout this
treatise to bring to light a resplendent new system of knowledge -- Neo-
Tech, while revealing, implicitly as well as explicitly, a new stratosphere of
conscious intellection -- Neothink. Upon reading this treatise, readers will
not only gain knowledge of little-known aspects of history and science but
will also be able to integrate Neo-Tech and Neothink to reach new heights
of awareness, prosperity, and happiness forever. This treatise is a window
to human history and a preamble to eternity that chronicles the ascent of
human consciousness through the purgatory of mysticism into the sunlit
universe of Neo-Tech/Neothink.
1. THE COPERNICAN REVOLUTION
In the center of everything rules the Sun; for who in this most beautiful
temple could place this luminary at another or better place whence it can
light up the whole at once? In fact, the Sun sitting on a royal throne guides
the family of stars surrounding him...the Earth conceives by the Sun, and
through him becomes pregnant with annual fruits In this arrangement, we
thus find an admirable harmony of the world, and a constant harmonious
connection between the motion and the size of the orbits as could not be
found otherwise. -- Copernicus
The publication of "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres (De
revolutionibus orbium coelestium)" by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus
Copernicus (1473-1343) in 1543 marked a complete break from the entire
system of ancient astronomy previously conceived by Greek scientists such
as Eudoxus, Callipus, Aristotle, Apollonius, Hipparchus, and ultimately by
Claudius Ptolemy. The system which those Greeks had developed has been
termed the geocentric (Earth-centered) theory of the universe The new
system which Copernicus propounded has been termed the heliocentric
(Sun-centered) theory of the universe.
By ascribing to the Earth a daily spin on its own axis, which gyrated, and
an annual orbit around the Sun, which was stationary, Copernicus evolved
a new system of the universe which opposed Aristotle, who had cogently
argued the fixity of the Earth. This provided a superior alternative to
Ptolemy's geocentric universe, which had been propounded in his
"Mathematical Compositions" (also known as "The Almagest") and which
dominated the astronomical conception of humanity for over 1400 years.
In Western Christendom the views of Aristotle and Ptolemy had been
elevated to the level of religious dogma, and to many thoughtful
intellectuals of the Renaissance, those views stifled further development in
science and were long overdue for revision. The geocentric theory had also
been used as the "scientific" basis for the Christian
theological/cosmological notion of a two-dimensional flat world existing
sandwiched in parallel between Heaven above and Hell below. Copernicus
was the first to successfully challenge the authorities of antiquity. In his
search for a true picture of the "divinely ordained cosmos," Copernicus
dethroned the Earth from the center of the cosmos and opened a new path
which was to lead to the eventual dethronement of "God" himself.
Copernicus, however, refrained from publishing his work for nearly two
decades. He feared the ecclesiastical jitteriness, which arose out of the
dissensions between Catholics and Protestants. For his work might cause
sufficient scandal for him to be charged with impugning the "authority" of
the Church through his assertion that the earth was neither fixed nor at the
center of the universe. That assertion might be construed as contradicting
one "authorized" literal interpretation of certain passages in the Bible. But
Copernicus was finally prevailed upon by his friends to allow his student,
Rheticus, to publish his work. Toward the end of 1342, Copernicus was
seized with apoplexy and paralysis; on May 24, 1343, an advance copy of
his work was presented to him. On that same day he died, leaving behind a
magnificent contribution -- a revolution in man's concept of the universe.
No longer could the Earth be considered to be the center of the universe
nor could it be considered the epitome of creation or the center of all
change and decay with the changeless cosmos encompassing it, for it was
now a planet just like the others, simply yielding to mathematical
description. No longer was it accurate to state that the Sun "rose or set"
upon the Earth nor was it valid to view the universe in terms of "up" and
"down or above" and "below," for those concepts were all perceptual
delusions and had meaning only within the confines of the geocentric
universe.
The revolution of knowledge that began with the publication of "On the
Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" and led to the further discoveries by
Johann Kepler (1371-1630), Galileo Galilei (1364-1642), and Isaac
Newton (1642-1727) is rightly termed "The Copernican Revolution." The
value of the Copernican Revolution, however, does not end in the fact that
Copernicus brought about a complete shift in man's philosophical
conception of the universe. He epitomized a revolution in man's
consciousness as well.
Through his identification of the physical structure of the universe,
Copernicus eloquently demonstrated the power of reason and
consciousness when unhindered by perceptivity-bound preconceptions.
Through Copernicus, the universe evolved from a mere sensory/perceptual
experience into a conceptual scheme or design which transcended
immediate human perception. For perceptivity-centered consciousness does
not take perceptual experiences as data but as conclusions, whereas
conceptuality-centered consciousness takes experience, perceptual as well
as conceptual, as data and constructs a model that reflects the structural
design of the universe. There is a subtle but unmistakable distinction
between the two, and that distinction is what the Copernican Revolution
exemplified in the history of human consciousness.
A profound restructuring of consciousness and a considerable conceptual
leap is required to conceive of a heliocentric universe in which the Earth is
in motion around the Sun while spinning on its own axis. Copernicus
vividly demonstrated the conceptuality-centered conscious mode at the
dawn of modern history and elevated human consciousness to the level that
had once been achieved by the Greeks 1700 years before him.
Perception is always concerned with events, whereas conception is
primarily concerned with interrelations between events. And the universe is
the complex aggregate of the whole interrelations of events in existence. In
order to comprehend that complex aggregate of interrelations known as the
universe, one must transcend the seeming subjective reality of perceptual
experience and construct a conceptual map in concordance with logic that
best reflects the underlying design principles of the universe. By moving
from the perceptivity-centered to the conceptuality-centered, one enters the
realm of objective reality, and it is the knowledge of objective reality that
gives the power to harness and control the universe -- power that can be
claimed only by a conscious being.
When one is fully integrated in conceptual consciousness, he can enter the
sphere of Neothink. Neothink is forward moving integrated consciousness
completely free of mysticism. Neo-Tech is the system of knowledge
through which Neothink is fully realized. What the Copernican Revolution
started Neo-Tech completes, and brings forth a new revolution, the Neo-
Tech Revolution, which will take humanity into dimensions of knowledge
never before imagined.
Since its birth about 3000 years ago from the bicameral mind,
consciousness has taken three distinct modes of operation: the first is the
perceptivity-centered mode that emulates the bicameral mind and takes
perception as the conclusive picture of reality while using concepts to
rationalize perception exemplified by the geocentric concept; the second is
the conceptuality-centered mode that takes experience, perceptual as well
as conceptual, as data to construct the conceptual model of reality --
exemplified by the heliocentric concept and the Copernican Revolution; the
third is the Neo-Tech/Neothink mode, that operates contextually,
synergetically using both hemispheres of the brain to develop never before
known integrations and concepts.
Frank R. Wallace's epochal discovery, Neo-Tech, was not only a
breakthrough in knowledge but also a revolution of human intellection.
Neo-Tech and Neothink are symbiotically linked in the same manner as the
Copernican Revolution and the conceptuality-centered mode. Every time a
new integration of knowledge is formed, an element of Neothink is always
involved. However, except for Neo-Tech, no system of knowledge has
ever identified a contextuality-centered, Neo-Tech/Neothink mode. Thus,
no system of knowledge has ever explored the unseen dimensions of Neo-
Tech/Neothink and developed it to its fullest potential. With the Neo-
Tech/Neothink mode, the perceptivity-centered mode becomes obsolete
and the conceptuality-centered mode evolves into entirely new dimensions.
2, THE LOST KNOWLEDGE OF THE GREEKS
During the first decade of the 16th century when Copernicus was still
forming his astronomical hypotheses, he read the works of many Greek
authors and found that heliocentric ideas had already been propounded. He
mentions in his work some of those Greek mathematician-astronomers who
held distinctly different views of the celestial system from that of Aristotle
and Ptolemy, although not necessarily heliocentric, such as Philolaus,
Hicetus, Ecphantus, and Heraclides ("On the Revolutions of the Celestial
Spheres," Book One). Indeed, the geocentric theories were not the only
systems known to the Greeks, nor even at times the most accepted.
Between the sixth and fourth century B.C., there was a philosophical
society known as the Pythagorean society in Greece. Pythagoras of Samos
(c. 582-300 B.C.), founder of the society, traveled extensively in his youth
by way of the sea to the East as well as to Egypt, and not only accumulated
a wealth of knowledge from different corners of the Earth but also obtained
a unique perspective that was possible only for the celestial navigator-
businessmen of the time, i.e., the sphericity of the Earth.
Astronomy and mathematics, particularly trigonometry, originated to a
great measure among those celestial navigator-businessmen of antiquity
whose survival almost entirely depended upon knowing the relative
positions and movements of the celestial bodies. Furthermore, while
traveling across the sea by observing the movements of the celestial
spheres, it became revealingly clear to them that the Earth was a spherical
entity. (Around 200 B.C., three hundred years after Pythagoras, Phoenician
navigator-businessmen circumnavigated the Earth for the first time in
recorded history and proved that the Earth was indeed spherical, preceding
Magellan by more than 1700 years.)
Pythagoras returned to Greece with the perspective and the knowledge of
the navigator-businessmen, along with other knowledge which he acquired
in the far corners of the world and founded at Croton, a Greek colony in
southern Italy, an academy that was devoted to a life of mathematical
speculation and philosophical contemplation. It is clearly evidenced that the
Pythagorean scientists were the first recorded humans in history to
conceive of the Earth, the celestial bodies, and even the universe as a
whole, as spherical entities.
Around 410 B.C., the Pythagorean Philolaus of Tarentum (c. 480-400
B.C.) conceived of the Earth as a spherical body in motion around a central
cosmic fire. He also postulated that the stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the
five known planets Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were
spherical bodies. His Sun was not at the center; as the Earth revolved
around the central fire once a day and the Moon once a month, the Sun
moved around the same cosmic fire once a year. The other planets took
even longer periods to orbit around the fire, while the sphere of the fixed
stars was stationary.
Around 350 B.C., a latter-day Pythagorean, Heraclides of Pontus (c. 373
B.C.), conceived of the Earth sphere as spinning west to east, adopting the
earlier view of two Pythagoreans, Hicetus and Ecphantus, in order to
explain the apparent diurnal rotation of the celestial system. He also
suggested that Mercury and Venus moved in circular orbits around the
Sun, accounting for the changes in their apparent brightness. He further
speculated that the universe was infinite, each star being a world in itself,
composed of an earth and other planets. However, Heraclides' universe,
like that of Hicetus and Ecphantus, was as yet geocentric and his Earth
spun at the center of the fixed stars.
Around 250 B.C., the greatest astronomer of the Alexandrian period,
Aristarchus of Samos (c. 310-230 B.C.), postulated that the Earth rotated
on its axis daily, and revolved around the Sun in a circular orbit once a
year, the Sun and the fixed stars being stationary, the planets moving in
circular orbits with the Sun at the center, and the Moon revolving around
the Earth. Thus, in Aristarchus the heliocentric conception of the universe
had reached its near-complete formulation. No one until Copernicus more
than 1750 years later described the celestial system as well and accurately
as Aristarchus had done in his now lost treatise. (According to Plutarch,
the head of the Stoic school of philosophy, Cleanthes, demanded that
Aristarchus ought to have been indicted for impiety. Aristarchus was
indeed almost killed for his revolutionary thoughts.)
Based upon these historical accounts, it is clear that a special chain of the
Greek mathematician-astronomer-cosmologist-philosophers consisting
primarily of Philolaus, Heraclides, and Aristarchus had successively
evolved a concept of the universe which was in fair agreement with that of
Copernicus over 1750 years later. Why is it then that the heliocentric
concept of the universe with its spinning Earth did not evolve further after
Aristarchus? Why is it that genuine knowledge of the celestial world had to
be buried in the obscurity of the terrestrial realm? Why is it that a theory so
luminous had to remain in darkness and wait for centuries to be
rediscovered?
3. THE GEOCENTRIC HIERARCHY
History reveals that around 200 B.C., less than five decades after
Aristarchus' exquisite formulation of the celestial system, the geocentric
concept of the universe, despite its inherent theoretical difficulty, became
more and more adopted by the power structure of the Western world -- by
the master neocheaters operating through their governments. The
geocentric concept achieved prominence over the heliocentric system not
because it was superior theoretically but because it was more expedient
politically. It was not a scientific decision but a political strategy that
made the geocentric system the "official" picture of the universe.
The geocentric school of astronomy began with Eudoxus of Cnidus (409-
336 B.C.), an eminent resident at the academy of Plato (427-347 B.C.),
several decades after Philolaus had postulated his distinctively non-
geocentric theory. Eudoxus' theory was further developed by Callipus (c.
325 B.C.), Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), Apollonius (c. 220 B.C.), Hipparchus
(190-120 B.C.), and finally Claudius Ptolemy of Alexandria (A.D. 85-163).
Eudoxus, after developing a certain mathematical procedure, evolved the
first geocentric model of the celestial system wherein he assigned a
spherical shell to every periodic movement that centered upon the Earth, a
combination of such spheres describing reasonably well the complex
periodic movement of a particular celestial body. All of the spheres were
fixedly embedded in the surfaces of the spheres further out. In this manner
he explained the motions of the celestial system by using twenty-seven
spheres, one for the fixed stars, three each for the Sun and the Moon, and
four each for the five known planets -- Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and
Saturn.
As new periodic phenomena were identified, the system had to be
expanded. Callipus gave each celestial body an extra sphere, bringing the
total up to thirty-four, while Aristotle added a further twenty-two spheres.
In the field of astronomy Aristotle was responsible for the idea that the
spheres which carried the celestial bodies along their paths were real
physical entities, not mere geometrical constructions as Eudoxus bad
previously supposed and Ptolemy would later postulate. (His strong
adherence to objective reality did not allow Aristotle to view his theory as a
mere geometrical construction without any corresponding existence in the
universe.) He also believed that the outermost sphere of the fixed stars was
moved by the Primum Mobile (the Prime Mover) which governed the
entire universe.
Unlike the heliocentric system which originally came from the ancient
navigator-businessmen's business-based integration of reality, i.e., the
sphericity of the Earth, the geocentric theory was purely an academic
enterprise and entailed many difficulties from the very beginning.
Furthermore, it not only was an extremely complex theory technically but
also became progressively more complex throughout its development.
Heraclides' model of the spinning Earth was one of the attempts made to
overcome those difficulties within the context of the geocentric universe.
During the Alexandrian period, Apollonius, Hipparchus, and Ptolemy also
tried to overcome the limitations inherent in the geocentric system, again
within the conceptual framework of the geocentric model. They failed to
take into account the validity of the heliocentric concept developed by
Aristarchus through his remarkable hypotheses.
Apollonius and Hipparchus both developed the system of eccentrics and
epicycles. Apollonius suggested that if a planet moved in a circle, the
epicycle, the center of which moved upon another circle, the deferent,
which centered upon the Earth, then the motions of the planets could be
quantitatively accounted for. He further suggested that the celestial bodies
moved in circles eccentric to the Earth, the center of their orbits lying at
some distance from the center of the Earth. Hipparchus further developed
Apollonius' concept. Ptolemy adopted and evolved the system of eccentrics
and epicycles used by Hipparchus to explain the apparent motions of the
celestial system.
Ptolemy himself made a discovery which showed that the whole system of
the geocentric universe could not have any physical existence as Aristotle
had suggested: Ptolemy seems to have regarded his scheme as a mere
mathematical convenience. (In other words, he admitted that his geocentric
system was a mathematical rationalization!) Thus, in Ptolemy, the
geocentric construction of the universe had reached its theoretical
perfection and, despite its inherent difficulty and rationalized complexity, it
dominated the scientific world for the next 1400 years.
However, long before Ptolemy completed his celestial theory as described
in his "Mathematical Composition," the geocentric system of the universe
had already been adopted by the neocheating authorities of Europe.
Beginning around 200 B.C., the combined political and religious power
structures of the Western world undertook a systematic oppression not
only of the kind of knowledge which did not suit their purpose. such as the
heliocentric theory, but also of the very source of knowledge itself, the
conceptuality-centered consciousness and its reasoning faculty.
The heliocentric universe did not fit into their scheme of establishing a
hierarchical social structure wherein the neocheaters were to stand at the
center of the universe. The geocentric universe did. Thus, the heliocentric
system was slowly eliminated from the face of the Earth and the geocentric
theory gained prominence. Their success in oppressing the heliocentric
system and other valid knowledge, and in establishing the geocentric
hierarchy, gradually prepared Europe for the Dark Ages and drew the
curtains on science for over 1700 years. It was not until the rise of
business/commerce took place in Europe toward the end of the Middle
Ages, which brought about the propagation of the zero along with the
place-value number system, that the light of reason finally shone through
the darkness of the human mind and raised the curtains of science at long
last.
How could the political/religious master neocheaters be so successful in
their scheme as to be able to oppress human knowledge and consciousness
for over 1700 years? The answer lies, at least in part, in the very nature and
propensity of human consciousness.
4. THE ORIGINS OF MYSTICISM
The process of life consists of awareness and self-creation. In
contradistinction to nonliving systems such as the celestial system, all living
systems from amoebae to human beings possess two distinguishing
characteristics which constitute life. They are autopoiesis (self-creation,
production, or generation) and awareness or cognition, which ranges from
the most primitive form of awareness such as amoebae's stimulus-response
to the highest form of cognition conscious human awareness. Autopoiesis
and cognition are the two quintessences of life without which no life is
possible. Moreover, autopoiesis and cognition are interdependent of, and
integral to, one another. That is, neither can exist without the other.
Conscious life is the highest integration and expression of the autopoietic
cognitive living process. Consciousness is the most complex form of
cognition which is distinctly different from any other mode of cognition
found in other sentient beings. Consciousness came into existence on this
planet about 3000 years ago and human beings achieved consciousness not
as a product of nature's evolutionary process but as an autopoietic
reorganization of their cognitive systems. Consciousness was a discovery
and an engineered invention of human beings. Therefore, no change took
place in the physical structure of the brain but only in the structural
organization of the mind.
Nature's process of evolution had ultimately brought to human beings what
is termed the bicameral mind, and it was in the cognitive breakdown of the
bicameral mind that consciousness first originated. The bicameral mind was
a highly evolved and intelligent cognitive system that operated with
language, percepts, and rudimentary/imaginary concepts, yet with complete
automaticity. In the bicameral mind, one hemisphere of the brain, guided by
the inherent logic of nature, organized the whole inventory of information
from the past in an automatic, non-introspective, and non-self-referential
manner, and communicated some of that information to the other
hemisphere for decision-making or action.
The bicameral mind invented such life-sustaining tools as language,
numbers, the wheel, and the ship in its critical pursuit for survival. It was
indeed a remarkably intelligent and ingenious cognitive system, yet there
was no fundamental difference between it and the mind of anthropoid apes
or porpoises in their automaticity. They differed in terms not of quality
(automaticity vs. non-automaticity) but of quantity or degree of intelligence
arising from their evolutionary/biological differences. Around 1000 B.C.
when human society evolved and became too complex for the bicameral
mind to handle, it made its greatest invention, at the cost of its own
continuance, in order for the human organism as a whole to survive: that
invention was consciousness. Toward the end of the second millennium
B.C., the bicameral world saw a dramatic increase in commerce. And the
laws of commerce/business began to take over the laws of nature, thereby
pushing bicameral men and women to a complete cognitive breakthrough --
to a quantum leap into an entirely new mode of cognition. Through that
commerce/business initiated cognitive breakthrough, consciousness was
born.
Consciousness is the unicameral mind, as it were. Speaking physically, it is
the new unified communication network within the brain whereby two
hemispheres function synergetically to create a higher order of operation
which is self-referential and introspective. Speaking metaphysically, it is the
new integrated inventorying of reality in abstract concepts that organizes
myriad facts of experience in accordance with conceptually identified logic.
In addition, consciousness is an operative modality of the brain or the mind
which is inherently non-automatic. That is, there is nothing in nature that
causes consciousness to operate automatically.
Consciousness is the causative factor relative to its own existence. There is
nothing in existence that can make an individual conscious but his own act
of being conscious. Consciousness exists as an entelechy; when it exists it
exists in its full manifestation, and when it exists not it exists not at all.
That means consciousness never evolves. It is an individual's very act of
being conscious (of something) that brings consciousness into being with
its utter totality. Thus, in reality, when one is conscious, he is fully
conscious with nothing missing and nowhere to evolve.
In the beginning, however, consciousness sought to operate within the lost
matrix of the bicameral mind, that is, consciousness made the entire
inventory of brain-stored information emulate the dominant hemisphere of
the bicameral mind. Consciousness operating in the emulated bicameral
modality is perceptivity-centered consciousness. It is when consciousness
developed a sufficiently integrated conceptual knowledge internally that
consciousness made the shift from the subjective to the objective and
became aware of reality, objective and in essence abstract. Consciousness
operating in the context of abstract and objective reality is conceptuality-
centered consciousness.
Reality in the final analysis, reality in a fully integrated epistemological
context, is abstraction. It is the aggregate of abstract principles that are
completely independent of any particular observer and his experience, and
as such reality is objective. Furthermore, abstract principles by nature exist
independent of time, and as such reality is eternal. And when reality is
cognized by consciousness, it exists in the form of concepts. However,
since it exists in the form of concepts, consciousness can subjectively create
or simulate "reality" without ever objectively conceiving, comprehending,
or identifying reality as such. This inherent proclivity of consciousness to
create, simulate, or make up "reality" is mysticism. Mysticism is the
epistemological disease of consciousness to confine itself in the
perceptivity-centered modality (the emulated bicameral modality), in
subjectivity, while fabricating or making up nonexisting, illusory "realities."
Since consciousness is self-causative, consciousness must generate a
continuous integration of energy to sustain its existence in its
comprehension of reality. In other words, consciousness must continuously
exert effort to fulfill its function as the conceptual integrator of reality.
Mysticism is consciousness' default in that effort. It is the self-negation of
consciousness by consciousness. No other cognitive mode including the
bicameral mind is capable of mysticism, for none other than consciousness
is nonautomatic and is the sole source of its own existence. Mysticism is
not caused by the lack of consciousness but by the lack of integration.
Mysticism is the symptom of man's default in epistemological integrity and
the cause of all human suffering.
Perceptivity-centered consciousness is a developmental stage of
consciousness in its apprehension of reality. When the integration of
knowledge reaches a critical point, consciousness begins to see its
perceptual experience in the context of conceptually integrated knowledge
and goes beyond its perceptually or subjectively bound experiences to
awaken into objectivity. If left free and unhindered, every child as well as
humanity as a whole innately transcends the perceptivity-centered modality
to advance its knowledge in the objectively defined context of reality.
Conceptuality-centered consciousness is consciousness qua consciousness.
Mysticism, unless it is identified and corrected, prevents or truncates
forever consciousness' integrating growth into maturity. Consciousness is
self-correcting epistemologically and self-controlling cybernetically. If it
could identify its internal mysticism, it would self-correct its devastating
errors and cure the disease that is mysticism. However, in history, this
correction or healing, except for a few rare individuals, did not take place
until today. The external force that prevents consciousness from self-
correcting is neocheating. Neocheating is the deliberate manipulation of
mysticism in others. It is the poison-feeding of mysticism in others.
Mysticism came into existence 3000 years ago with the birth of
consciousness, and with it came its symbiotic neocheating. However, it was
not until Plato formulated his philosophy that a systematic and conceptual
framework was supplied in which to carry on neocheating. It was Plato
who not only rationalized mysticism but also capitalized on it to create a
brilliantly fabricated, yet devastatingly destructive philosophical system that
provided the conceptual tools of neocheating for millennia to come.
Through Plato and his philosophy, the whole matrix of neocheating was
set, the spell of mysticism was deliberately cast upon humanity, and the
reign of master neocheaters became firmly established in the course of
history.
Platonistic philosophy begins by accepting the primacy of consciousness,
that is, by reversing the relationship of consciousness to existence. It
assumes that reality must conform to the content of consciousness, not the
other way around, based upon the premise that the presence of any concept
in consciousness proves the existence of a corresponding referent in reality.
Plato thus validates de jure self-made realities while invalidating de facto
reality as such.
According to Plato, the content of "true" reality is a set of universals or
Forms that represent that which is in common among various groups of
particulars in this world. He repeatedly insists that the Forms are what is
"really" real. The particulars they subsume, the concrete objects that
constitute this world, are not. Although he asserts that the Forms are
immutable, timeless, intellectually apprehensible, and capable of precise
definition at the end of a piece of "pure ratiocination" because they are
independently existing entities in "reality," he never once elucidates in a
rational context how that apprehension or definition can be achieved.
Although epistemo-contextually integrated reality is abstraction in the final
analysis, yielding to crystallization in the form of concepts through the
process of appropriation by consciousness, it is in the final analysis that
reality is abstraction and through the process of appropriation by
consciousness that reality is crystallized -- apprehended and defined -- in
the form of concepts. Existence exists and exists independently of
consciousness. Consciousness does not and cannot create reality; it is
metaphysically passive. Consciousness exists to identify reality or existence
and in the very fact that consciousness must exist to be conscious of reality
or existence, the primacy of existence to consciousness is evident.
The primacy of existence and the ultimacy of reality is the alpha and the
omega of all valid conceptual knowledge. Knowledge is the explication of
existence (explicandum) into reality (explicans). Existence is reality
implicate metaphysically and reality is existence implicate
epistemologically. Existence is what is given to consciousness
metaphysically while reality is what is revealed to consciousness by
consciousness epistemologically. Existence and reality are in essence
synonymous, and as existence exists independently of consciousness, so
does reality. Therefore, no knowledge of reality can ever be achieved by
merely fabricating concepts without regard to existence, as Plato
suggested.
Plato, by inverting the epistemological structure of the conscious cognitive
process, by reversing the metaphysical relationship between reality
(existence) and consciousness, succeeded, in effect, in giving the
perceptivity-centered modality the highest and the ultimate cognitive status,
while also providing mysticism a completely justified (and even dignified)
"full-time job" in the inner workings of human awareness. Through Plato
such false concepts as "God," "gods," or "the eternal soul," which has no
metaphysically verifiable cognitive content, gained a well-justified
philosophical foundation, for, according to him, anything that anyone could
make up in his mind should exist because "that's the way it is."
Throughout his long career, Plato carried within him an intense political
ambition and need to control others. His philosophy is largely a
manifestation of that ambition and need. He played his politics and tried to
control others not through an ordinary political channel but through the
channel of philosophy. He tried to control others not physically but
intellectually, for once people accepted his philosophy, then it was simpler
and easier to control them physically. Although Plato died before he could
witness his "dream" come true, the neocheaters throughout the world used
his philosophy to bring his dream to fruition. Thus, as Plato's dream
evolved into reality, a long and tragic nightmare unfolded.
Coinciding with the rise of the Romans around 200 B.C., the Western
world saw the proliferation of religious/political master neocheaters along
with the systematic application of their neocheating strategies. Their
proliferation marked the decline of Greek culture and the fall of its highest
intellectual manifestation Aristotelian philosophy. Aristotelian philosophy is
the first complete system of philosophy ever developed on the basis of the
primacy of existence. Aristotle evolved the system of logic -- the principle
of noncontradictory identification -- only by means of which objective
reality is identified and verified authentically. Aristotle also developed the
first ethical philosophy based on the supremacy of a conscious human
individual. Aristotelian philosophy indeed is the fountainhead of all
knowledge and the antithesis of Platonistic philosophy.
It was Aristotle, not Plato, who epitomized the mind of the Greeks. It was
Aristotelian philosophy, not Platonistic philosophy, which was the epitome
of Greek consciousness and its intellectual achievements. Therefore, the fall
of Aristotelian philosophy around 200 B.C. meant a rise of Platonistic
philosophy or Platonistic-oriented philosophies, and a beginning of a dark
intellectual obscurantism.
Although this intellectual obscurantism was finally broken during the
Renaissance by the resurgence of Aristotelian philosophy and the newly
discovered power of the zero, its roots had never been eradicated until the
discovery of Neo-Tech by Frank R. Wallace in the late 20th century.
Aristotelian philosophy laid the foundation for all life enhancing discoveries
and values culminating in the discovery of Neo-Tech. Aristotelian
philosophy fulfilled its function and destiny as the fountainhead of
knowledge and antithesis of Platonism in the discovery and development of
Neo-Tech.
5. THE MASTER NEOCHEATERS
Knowledge is power. Integration of knowledge is power. It is through
knowledge that one can control the destiny of his life, his environment, and
his universe. It is through knowledge that one can achieve his true
individuality, an indivisible conscious wholeness, and the self that is
genuinely his. It is through knowledge, and through knowledge alone, that
the flowering and the ultimate fulfillment of what it means to be human,
what it means to be conscious, can come to exist.
For two millennia until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and the
subsequent advent of capitalism, knowledge was almost the exclusive
possession of priest-scholars (e.g., Nicholaus Copernicus) or artist-
engineer-scientists (e.g., Leonardo da Vinci) who worked under the
sovereignty of their patronal governments. This monopolization of
knowledge was a policy deliberately planned and executed by the
successive master neocheaters who controlled and reigned over the world
for millennia. Among these master neocheaters were some of the most
brilliant and powerful kings, emperors, prime ministers, and priests or
philosophers of human history.
Around 200 B.C. the master neocheaters of the Western world began a
systematic oppression of human knowledge and usurpation of power by
employing Platonistic-oriented philosophies that provided an ideological
foundation for the propagation of mysticism. They devised a strategy
whereby they successfully achieved their purpose and prepared Europe for
the darkest tragedy of human history: the Dark Ages. Throughout recorded
history, wherever there was a rise of commercial or business activities,
there was a flourishing of Aristotelian-oriented philosophy and an
advancement of human knowledge. Athens, where the Greek culture
flourished, was such a place. Around 200 B.C., with the rise of the Romans
who were in essence an agricultural nation, commercial activity declined
and the world became more mystical. This coincided with the proliferation
of the neocheaters.
Neocheaters strive for power without exerting effort to earn genuine
knowledge of reality They strive for power without earning genuine power.
They accomplish their purpose and achieve their "power" by oppressing
knowledge and disempowering others through the use of force, mystical as
well as physical. Their power is in essence illusory and it is only in a
mysticism-entrenched society that neocheaters can sustain such an illusion.
It is only through the propagation of mysticism that neocheaters can
survive.
Master neocheaters are those who have mastered the "art" of neocheating.
They thoroughly understand the realm of nonreality and can see through
the mysticism in others. Yet, out of dishonesty and laziness, instead of
seeking to identify reality and gain genuine power and happiness, they
choose to manipulate and usurp values from others. They are the masters
of the mystic domain -- mind-created "realities" and "truths." So far as one
is caught in the labyrinth of their domain, so far as one is caught in the web
of mysticism, he can never win the battle against those masters of
nonreality.
The master neocheaters' grand strategy, through which they successfully
propagated mysticism, oppressed knowledge and usurped values, consisted
of three major substrategies:
(1) To systematically destroy the foundation of knowledge, i.e., reason, by
(a) misinforming or not informing the populace of crucially important
knowledge, such as Aristotelian philosophy or the heliocentric theory of
the universe, and (b) conditioning the human mind and reflexes by
Platonistic-oriented mystical thinking.
(2) To systematically train those who are intellectually endowed and bright
enough to be a potential threat to the master neocheaters to become
specialized scholars and to advance knowledge in a manner that serves the
purpose of the power structure, while making the scholars completely
dependent upon the power structure for their physical survival.
(3) To restrict commercial activities to the extent that the producers
produce just enough to support the continuance of the power structure,
while completely controlling the line of life-support, such as food and
money, by the power structure itself -- so that no incentive will ever arise
to advance knowledge among the populace.
All of these substrategies were carried out by deception, force, threat of
force, and the systematic propagation of mysticism. The geocentric system
gained prominence over the heliocentric system within this socio-political
environment. Platonistic philosophy became predominant over Aristotelian
philosophy within this anti-intellectual climate, reversing the intellectual
trend of the Greeks, which had produced a remarkable wealth of
knowledge and incomparably brilliant intellects such as Pythagoras,
Philolaus, Heraclides, Aristarchus, Apollonius, Archimedes, Socrates, and
Aristotle (perhaps the foremost intellect in history). (Plato, although he was
in essence anti-Greek, was nevertheless one of the great intellects and
writers of human history, and without the flourishing intellectual climate of
ancient Greece, even Plato would not have been possible.)
Neo-Tech defines mysticism as: (1) Any attempt to recreate or alter reality,
usually through dishonesty, feelings, non sequiturs, or rationalizations. (2)
Any attempt to ignore, evade, or contradict reality. (3) The creation of
problems where none exist. It defines neocheating as: Any intentional use
of mysticism to create false realities and illusions in order to extract values
from others. From these definitions it becomes quite clear why Platonistic
philosophy became the prime tool for neocheaters to carry out the first
substrategy of destroying the foundation of all valid human knowledge:
reason.
Reason is the faculty of the mind that conceptually identifies and integrates
the materials provided by senses, perceptions, and previous conceptions.
Reason is the prime faculty of consciousness in reaching ever higher
abstractions or broader conceptions, first by distinguishing the relevant
from the nonrelevant within the entire realm of sensory, perceptual, and
conceptual data-banks, and then by conceptually integrating the relevant in
accordance with logic. Logic is the art and principle of noncontradictory
identification. Reason functioning in the conceptuality-centered modality is
reasoning, while reason functioning in the perceptivity-centered modality or
in the mystical context is rationalization.
Reasoning is an intellectual process for achieving an integrated conceptual
picture of reality by always starting from perceptual experiences and then
making a logical connection between what is perceived and what is
conceived. Rationalization is an intellectual process for fabricating an
illusionary "reality" in concepts by disconnecting conception from
perception. Reasoning is based on the primacy of existence, whereas
rationalization is based on the primacy of consciousness. Both use reason,
logic, and concepts. However, they are diametrically opposite to one
another. Reasoning begins with logically noncontradictory premises based
on the facts of reality, while rationalization begins with premises that
contradict reality.
No matter how logical-sounding it might be, any conclusion that begins
with a contradictory premise inescapably contradicts reality. The primacy
of existence is the prime principle of reality. No valid knowledge is ever
possible without observing the primacy of existence, for existence exists in
the very act of living, reasoning, and even rationalizing. Platonistic
philosophy stands upon a ground which does not exist in reality, i.e., upon
nothing, and since it is nothing it could be anything. Platonistic philosophy
is the philosophical system that rationalizes rationalization and "non
sequiturs" non sequiturs.
The most devastating non sequitur/rationalization that arises directly from
Platonistic philosophy is altruism. As mentioned before, according to Plato,
what is "really" real are the Forms, disembodied abstractions which
represent that which is in common among various groups of particulars in
this world of concrete perceptual experiences. Therefore, in effect,
individual human beings are merely particular instances of the universal
"human being;" they are ultimately not real. What is "real" about human
beings is only the Form that they share in common and reflect. To
Platonism, all the seemingly individual human beings are "in reality" the
same one Form in various reflections.
Thus, all human beings ultimately comprise one unity, and no earthly
human being is an autonomous entity. This momentous conclusion leads to
altruism and all the "higher-cause," collectivist moralities. Platonistic
philosophy, while establishing the primacy of consciousness, denies the
supremacy of an individual wherein consciousness resides. For
consciousness that is supposed to be primal is not, according to Platonism,
an earthly individual consciousness but a universal entity, a Form, of which
an individual consciousness is merely a reflection. Plato, with his literary
genius, propagated this kind of contradictory and destructive philosophy
which was to dominate the mind and thinking of humanity for the following
2300 years.
Platonistic philosophy or Platonistic-oriented philosophies provided the
tools for neocheaters to exploit as well as manipulate innocent and
productive individuals. People, thus Platonistically conditioned, had no
means to protect themselves philosophically against the neocheaters'
assaults. Although Aristotelian-based thinking was by nature always
employed in all healthy and productive human endeavors which kept the
life-line of human society going, people were bound to live in undeserved
guilt. Some asserted Aristotelian-oriented philosophies, but, until Ayn
Rand, none were able to discover the fault of Platonistic philosophy in a
fully integrated and thoroughly reasoned context, and none were able to
identify the poison-core of mysticism and neocheating in its entirety until
Neo-Tech.
During the time of the Romans, little advance was made in the field of
science. The Romans in essence lived under the glory of the Greeks
intellectually, and the systematic enactment of their neocheating strategy
and propagation of Platonistic-oriented philosophies prepared Europe for
the Dark Ages. Around 200 B.C., Stoicism, a Platonistic-oriented
philosophy, became influential among the Romans, for it presented the
traditional beliefs they had inherited from the Etruscans in a more
sophisticated form. Around A.D. 200, Stoicism merged with Platonism in
the form of Neoplatonism, particularly in the Neoplatonistic system of
Plotinus (A.D. 204-270). During those 400 years, the conditioning of the
human mind to misconceive reality through Platonistic-oriented thinking
became quite prevalent.
In regard to the second substrategy of training the bright to become
specialized scholars, it was here that the two-millennium-old trend of
specialization in knowledge originated. Since knowledge is the source, the
only source, of genuine power, the ones who are capable of integrating
knowledge are the greatest threat to neocheaters. Therefore, those who are
intellectually endowed must be divided into their specialized fields of
knowledge so that they cannot integrate different spheres of knowledge to
gain integrated power. They must also be isolated from the rest of the
world and made oblivious of the whole context of reality, while at the same
time being made dependent upon political neocheaters for their physical
survival.
A mathematician alone, no matter how brilliant he might be, could not be a
threat to a neocheater without the knowledge of other fields and the rest of
the world, and without the means of achieving financial independence --
without a business integration. So long as those who are bright remain
divided and "specialized," oblivious of the world, neocheaters are safe to
exercise their "power" and use those scholars for their own advantages.
This is what happened and what has been happening throughout the entire
history of man. Moreover, some of those scholars turned to mysticism or
neocheating and achieved political and/or religious prominence. The so-
called social "intellectuals" of today are the direct offspring of those
earlier "scholars turned neocheaters."
Research in the fields of biology and anthropology reveals that all the
species and tribes that became extinct did so because of overspecialization.
The current educational systems of the world, which originated in the
neocheating strategy of ancient political powers, emphasize specialization,
and thus endanger the continuation of the human species. Until today, the
least specialized field, the field that requires the widest integration of
knowledge, has been politics, where neocheatcrs, who have the least regard
for knowledge, gravitate the most. Ironically and tragically, the fittest to
survive the mysticism-ridden world of inverted reality have been the least
capable of surviving in reality.
In principle, the field in which the widest integration of knowledge is
required is business. It is in business that philosophy, science, and
technology meet the challenge of life to integrate into higher values that
benefit humanity. It is in business that metaphysical values are transformed
and crystallized into physical values that nurture human needs. Without
producers and their business activities, no society can possibly survive.
Therefore, in executing the third substrategy, the master neocheaters could
not wipe out the producers and their businesses totally. Otherwise, they
would have jeopardized their own existence. It is through those heroic, yet
unknown, producers that the world, albeit severely oppressed, could
survive all the darkness which humanity had to endure. Time and again
business flourished in various parts of the world, and every time there was
a flourishing of business there was an advancement of knowledge and an
evolution of human happiness and prosperity.
6. THE DISCOVERY OF THE ZERO
It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by
means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as
an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple
to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great
ease which it has lent to all computations put our arithmetic in the first rank
of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of this
achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of
Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by
antiquity. -- Laplace
Producers are the Primum Mobiles (the Prime Movers) of the world and
business is the very motion which carries humanity forward. It was the rise
of producers and the integral component of business Aristotelian
philosophy in the 13th-14th century that broke the Middle Ages and
brought the Renaissance to Europe. It was the same rise of producers and
Aristotelian-oriented philosophies, implicitly employed, during the first five
centuries A.D. in India that made possible one of the greatest mathematical
inventions of all time -- the zero, without which the Renaissance and the
subsequent development of scientific knowledge would not have been
possible.
The zero is the mathematically defined numerical function of nothingness
that is used not for an evasion but for an apprehension of reality. The
"nothing"' has been the exclusive territory of mystics and neocheaters. They
thrive on "nothing," in nonreality, and create their mystical edifice of power
and dominance upon "nothing" with "nothing." The zero is the only
"nothing" thus far conceived that is nonmystical, i.e., reality-based. It is a
tool, a mathematical tool, for dealing with reality, and as such is integral to
the whole context of reality qua reality. After the Renaissance, the
monopolization of knowledge became broken and scientific knowledge
flourished owing largely to the propagation of this mathematical "nothing,"
the zero to the increased computational capability among common people
that was made possible solely by the widespread use of the zero concept
and its counterpart -- the place-value numerical system.
On the assumption that an Aristotelian-based philosophy rather than a
Platonistic philosophy had dominated the Western world since the Golden
Age of Greece, Neo-Tech predicts the following retrospectively (see "Neo-
Tech Discovery," Neo-Tech Advantage #77, An Aristotelian Course of
History):
330 B.C. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)
200 B.C. America discovered.
100 B.C. Free-enterprise capitalism established around the world.
0 B.C. All traces of mysticism, altruism, are gone.
20 A.D. Electrical power developed, camera developed.
40 A.D. Internal-combustion engine developed.
50 A.D. Cars in mass production. Airplane developed.
60 A.D. Computer developed.
70 A.D. Nuclear power developed.
80 A.D. Man on the Moon.
100 A.D. Man on Mars and heading for other planets.
120 A.D. Human biological immortality developed.
200 A.D. Universal immortality achieved...
As revealed in the second chapter, exactly as predicted above, the
Phoenician navigators circumnavigated the world and discovered the
American continent around 200 B.C., preceding Columbus and Magellan
by 1700 years. Aristarchus heliocentric theory of the universe was
developed approximately fifty years prior to that circumnavigation.
However, also around 200 B.C., with the rise of the Romans, Platonistic-
based philosophies became increasingly more dominant and growth in
science rapidly declined, except in Alexandria where Greek culture and
science still continued to flourish.
What is implicit in this "retrospective forecast" of human history, however,
is that a numerical system much like ours with the zero and the place-value
principle should have been developed somewhere between 200 and 100
B.C., for the Greek numerical system was much too rudimentary to make
the subsequent developments in science and technology probable. In fact,
no matter what kind of numerical symbols people of antiquity might have
adopted, logic dictates that their number system should have been the same
as ours with the zero concept and the place-value principle. Since man has
ten fingers, it is most likely that the base of their number system would
have been ten (10). The computers of 60 A.D. should have employed a
binary system due to the nature of logic.
Our modern written numeration, with the zero concept and the place-value
principle, is such an ingenious, efficacious, and conceptually integrated
system that no one who has ever considered the history of numerical
notation or mathematics fails to realize its enormous profundity,
significance, and power. For instance, consider the following addition the
same addition by means of Roman numerals and of our Hindu-Arabic
numerals:
CCLXVIII 268
MDCCCVII 1807
DCL 650
MLXXX 1080
======== ====
MMMDCCCV 3805
Without converting the Roman numerals into our modern system the
problem is difficult, if not impossible, to solve. And this is only an addition
multiplication or division would be far worse. Roman numerals and most
other systems do not lend themselves to written computation owing largely
to the static nature of their basic numerals, which are in essence only
abbreviations for recording the results of computations done by means of
an abacus or counting board.
For this reason, before the advent of our modern positional numeration (the
zero and the place-value system), the art of reckoning remained an
exclusive and highly skilled profession. Indeed, it attests to the success
wherewith the master neocheaters executed their destructive substrategy,
specialization of knowledge, that the knowledge of reckoning remained so
exclusive a profession. That master neocheating strategy created a lack of
motivation for the advancement of knowledge, particularly of science, and
its accompanying mathematical/computational tools. Thus, no progress was
made in the field of reckoning in the Western world beyond Greek or
Roman numeration. Roman numeration, particularly, was an intentional
device to keep the populace ignorant and powerless, forever confined in
the perceptivity-centered modality. in a mystical cave, by a mega-dose of
neocheating.
Therefore, the discovery of the zero and the development of the place-
value numeration had to wait for a less oppressive intellectual climate -- a
flourishing business and commercial atmosphere. Such a climate took place
in India between the first and fifth centuries A.D. It was during that time in
India that the zero was discovered and the system of place-value
numeration was developed, almost reaching to their fullest formulation by
500 A.D. Although in recorded history the place-value number systems
have been developed four times (by the Babylonians, Mayans, Chinese, and
Hindus), and the zero concept has been evolved three times (by the
Babylonians, Mayans, and Hindus), none outside of the Hindus have
devised such a complete system of numerical operation. Furthermore, none
outside of the Hindus evolved the zero concept to the degree that it is used
as the null-value in all facets of calculation.
Increased commercial/business activities during the first three centuries
A.D. in India called for further developments in navigational technology
and astronomical science, and for an evolution of a written computational
methodology for recording the process of calculations that were employed
in navigation, astronomy, and business. To accomplish these ends,
development of a superior numerical system that lent itself to written
computation became imperative. It was among those sea-dwelling
navigator-engineer-scientist-businessmen who kept and evolved the lineage
of advanced knowledge from antiquity that the place-value number system
with the zero concept was first developed. The Brahman scholars, the
Pythagoreans of the East, further evolved and perfected the system nearly
to its present formulation. By using only ten numerical symbols while
assigning one of the ten symbols, the zero, unique meanings and functions,
they succeeded in expressing infinitely large numbers and making complex
numerical operations remarkably more simple.
In Sanskrit (the scholarly language of the Hindus), the word for the zero is
"sunya," meaning "void," and there is little doubt that the zero concept
originated as the written symbol for the empty column of the abacus. The
abacus had been used around the world since antiquity to provide a facile
means of accumulating progressive products of multiplication by moving
those products ever further leftward, column by column, as the operator
filled the available bead spaces one by one and moved the excess over ten
into the successive right-to-left-ward columns.
Number products in even tens (such as the number 20 or 30) leave the first
right hand column empty (void). When expert abacus users had no abacus
available to them, they could remember and visualize the operation of the
abacus so clearly that all they needed to know was the content of each
column in order to develop any multiplication or division. They then
invented symbols for the content of each column to replace drawing a
picture of the number of beads. Having developed symbols to express the
content of each column, they had to invent a symbol for the numberless
content of the empty column -- that symbol came to be known to the
Hindus as "sunya," and sunya later became "sifr" in Arabic; "cifra"' in
Roman; and finally "cipher" in English.
Only an empty column of an abacus could possibly provide the human
experience that called for the invention of the zero the symbol for
"nothingness," and that discovery of the symbol for nothingness had an
enormous significance upon subsequent humanity. The zero, the cipher,
alone made possible humanity's escape from the 1700-year monopoly of all
its calculating functions by the neocheating power structure operating
invisibly behind their governments and religions. It was also the power of
nothingness, the zero, that raised the curtains of science during the
Renaissance, which had been drawn by the master neocheaters since 200
B.C. (It is significant to realize that the positional numeration with the zero
concept had been implicitly employed in the operation of the abacus almost
in its entirety, including the zero being the null-value. The Hindu
numeration was the written translation of that operation.)
Even if the zero with the place-value principle and its computation-
facilitating capability had been discovered by the Alexandrian Greeks, by
Archimedes or Apollonius, for instance, it would have been banished or
even lost when the emperors of the Roman Empire amalgamated the vast
power of the priesthood with their already-established military supremacy.
Historically, Roman numerals had been invented to enable completely
illiterate people to keep "scores" of events occurring one by one. The more
complex Roman numerals were those used by their superiors, keeping
count by their fingers V for five (the angle between one's thumb and the
other four fingers) and X for ten (representing one's crossed index fingers).
Since one cannot see "no sheep or no person," the Roman world had no
need for a symbol for nothing.
For science to evolve, there should be three basic socio-intellectual factors
present; (1) a flourishing business climate that will provide an incentive to
advance knowledge; (2) an explicitly defined Aristotelian philosophy that
will provide the metaphysical/epistemological foundation or context for
valid scientific knowledge and the ethical/moral basis for productive living;
(3) mathematical tools, such as the zero with the place-value principle, that
will facilitate the advancement of science. During the Renaissance all three
of these factors were clearly present. Science did not develop in India after
the discovery of the zero owing to the fact that no explicitly defined
Aristotelian philosophy had ever been prevalent in India or had been known
to the Hindus in general.
Indian philosophies from Hinduism to Buddhism, although they differed in
various issues, all held that reality could not be known by reason and logic
but only by a mystical union with existence called samadhi or nirvana,
purported to he transcendental to reason and logic. They believed that
reason and logic could take them only to the point where they could merge
into existence through the cessation of the mind. In truth, their mystical
union, samadhi or nirvana, was nothing more than a glorified perception or
sensation. They inverted the epistemological order of human cognition,
which proceeds from sensation to perception and perception to conception,
and gave perception and sensation the ultimate cognitive status.
Therefore, albeit the Hindus perfected one of the greatest discoveries in
human history -- the zero, they could not realize its cosmic function as a
mathematical tool of science. Although it required a conceptuality-centered
modality of consciousness to conceive of the zero, the Hindus did not
possess a conceptuality-centered philosophy -- an Aristotelian philosophy
to integrate the zero concept into a larger philosophical scheme so as to
bring about its fruits. The zero, thus, had to wait for nearly 1000 years until
the time of Leonardo da Vinci and Copernicus in order to bear its fruits and
transform the human world forever.
Meanwhile, in the West, the Romans repeatedly burned the Alexandrian
library, which as early as 100 B.C. was reputed to have had 700,000
manuscripts containing the wealth of Greek intellectual achievements. The
library was first set on fire in 47 B.C. during the war between Caesar and
Pompey (40,000 volumes were burned), second in 272 A.D. by a Roman
emperor, third in 391 A.D. by another Roman emperor, and finally
completely destroyed by the Muslims in 642 A.D. Thus, before the zero
could reach the Western world around 700 A.D. via the Moorish invasion
of Spain, the intellectual soil wherein this remarkable concept could have
borne fruit had been destroyed almost completely by the master
neocheaters and their neocheating strategies. The Western world had
entered the Dark Ages.
7. THE PROPAGATION OF THE ZERO
In the centuries since its discovery, the place-value system of numeration
with the zero concept has been propagated throughout the world even
more widely than the alphabet of Phoenician origin, and it has become the
only universal language humanity now possesses. When its advantages
became known to the scholars, reckoners, and businessmen of civilization
in contact with India, they gradually began to adopt this new system,
abandoning the imperfect systems which they inherited from their
ancestors. The zero and its immense computational capabilities provided
humanity with an infinite horizon for the evolution of knowledge.
Among those who adopted this new system of numeration and adapted it
to their own forms of writing were the Arabs. In the vast empire that they
built within less than a century after Mohammed's death, the Moslems
forced conquered nations to adopt their language and its writing. Thus,
Arabic soon became a means of communication, particularly among
scholars of diverse origins. In 772 A.D. al-Mansur, the second caliph of the
Abbassid dynasty, founded the capital Baghdad, which quickly became one
of the great commercial and intellectual centers of the world where the
cultural heritage of the conquered nations was well received. It was in
Baghdad that the evolution of Arab science began, assimilating all the
Greek and Hindu scientific works that came to the Arab-Islamic world.
Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi (c. 780-850), who lived at the court
of the Abbassid caliph al-Mamum, was one of the most distinguished and
illustrious mathematicians of the period. Al-Khowarizmi's treatise on
arithmetic, "Treatise on Cipher," is the earliest known Arabic work in
which the Hindu place-value numeration and computation methods are
specifically elucidated. (In Europe, al-Khowarizmi's name, first Latinized as
Algorismi, turned into the terms "algorism" and "algorithm," designating
computation with the Hindu written numerations before taking on the more
general meaning of computation with any notation. The first word of the
Arabic title for his other treatise, "AI-jabr w'al-muqubalah," later came to
designate the branch of mathematics known in English as algebra.)
Although the Moorish invasion of Spain introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals
and algebra for the first time to Europe around 700 A.D., preceding al-
Khowarizmi about a century, it was the Latin translation of his "Treatise on
Cipher" around 1200 A.D. that awakened Europe from its computational
darkness to an evolution of mathematical knowledge. However, while
Arab-Islamic civilization was achieving great scientific and cultural
attitudes, comparable only with Athens and Alexandria, Western
Christendom was languishing in social disorder, economic depression, and
intellectual obscurantism caused by the master neocheaters' oppressive
strategies to stay in power. Thus, it took over 400 years for al-
Khowarizmi's treatise to be translated into Latin, and it took another 200
years for the Hindu-Arabic numeration with the zero and place-value
concept to become widely diffused in Europe.
As in India, where virtually every sphere of knowledge was monopolized
by Brahmans and other religious priest-scholars, so in the Arab-Islamic
world was knowledge a field which belonged exclusively to the priest-
scholars who served under their patronal caliphs. Furthermore, as in India,
there was no explicit Aristotelian philosophy that dominated the mind of
the Arabs. Their guiding philosophy was provided by their religion, Islam.
Although Aristotle's works were earnestly studied and translated into
Arabic, so were the works of Plato. It was the time of academic
compilation and scholastic relativism. For that reason, no genuine
scientific/technological revolution took place in the Arab-Islamic world.
However, it was through the wealth of knowledge compiled there that the
Western world learned about the lost works of Aristotle and the zero
concept.
In the meantime in Europe, a systematic master neocheating scheme in
operation since 200 B.C., particularly by the successive Roman emperors,
had prepared Europe for the rise of Christianity. The combined religious
and political emperorship had found its authoritarian formulae, "credo"
(which means "I believe"), continually threatened by the Greek scientist-
philosophers who had incessantly evolved ever unorthodox ideas and
discoveries. The authorities had devised their grand strategy largely to cope
with and counteract those scientists' persuasive, experience-supported,
objective logic.
But it was not until the Roman priesthood developed an extremely clever
neocheating theology around an obscure mystic who had supposedly died
on the cross some centuries before that the traces of the Greek intellect
could finally be wiped out. Although the emperors possessed absolute
physical power, they lacked absolute metaphysical authority. Through
Christian theology and its doctrine, the emperor-pope could now possess
not only physical power but also the metaphysical dispensation normally
given only by "God" -- an authority that was purportedly received
originally by the disciples from the only son of God, "Christ," and his direct
authority from God himself. Indeed, following the death of Jesus and the
preaching by his "disciples," the promised prospect of salvation for all
believers raised the Christian priesthood to an unprecedented popularity
and power.
In point of fact, Jesus was an obscure mystic known in his lifetime only by
a handful of people. Uneducated and with hallucinatory propensities, he
spent his known life neurotically striving to fulfill certain ancient Judaic
prophecies under a megalomaniacal illusion that he was the son of God.
His crucifixion was to a great measure his own making in order to fulfill his
"divine mission" in life. For what sin did he actually commit that deserved a
crucifixion except that he was somewhat insane and an annoyance to the
establishment? It was indeed Jesus himself who managed to cause his own
crucifixion, because, so far as he was concerned, the son of God had to be
crucified.
Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that he died on the cross. His crucifixion
took place on a Friday and the next day was the Sabbath. He was on the
cross no more than six hours, so how could a young man of 33 possibly die
so easily? The myth of Resurrection thus may have a well-founded genesis;
this neurotic man might have appeared in front of people before leaving the
town for an unknown place. His disciples, equally mystical and most of
them uneducated, spread his legacy, which finally reached the neocheating
priests of the Roman Empire, who then cleverly constructed a devastatingly
destructive theology around that legacy by employing Platonistic principles.
Thus was born the emperor-pope.
The emperor-pope who was "officially authorized" by God could require
all believers to secretly confess their sins to his "officials" (ordained
priests). He could also ordain universal adoption of his explanations of the
causality of all human experiences, explanations that were most useful to
him. The emperor-pope could tell his people how to conduct their lives,
how to gain God's favor. The geocentric system was degraded to the
notion of a two-dimensional flat world sandwiched in parallel between
Heaven above and Hell below, and this cosmology put the emperor-pope
and his "God" at the center of the universe. The heliocentric universe did
not fit into his scheme, and thus was wiped off the face of the Earth.
The zero, like the heliocentric concept, had no place in such an intellectual
obscurantism. Although it was first introduced around 700 A.D. in Spain,
the zero could not find a way to reach through the darkness of the human
mind to Europe at large. The zero as well as the heliocentric concept had
to wait until the 11th and 12th centuries when producers and business
again arose in Europe. During those two centuries Europe awakened
abruptly, owing largely to a rapid population growth which had such
consequences as the clearing of land, the development of cities, and the
construction of larger churches. Prices rose, circulation of money
increased, and, as sovereigns quelled feudal anarchy, commerce revived.
The revival of commerce necessitated more frequent international contacts
and in turn favored the introduction of Arab science into the Western
world. Universities were founded, arising from guild-like associations of
masters and students at the cathedral schools. The western Crusade against
Muslims in Spain resulted in the fall of Toledo (a Christian archbishopric in
Spain) in 1085, and it was from this time that the Arabic versions of Greek
science as well as Hindu numerals were translated into Latin, the most
active period being 1125-1280. It was during this time that al-
Khowarizmi's "Treatise on Cipher" reached northern Italy and southern
Germany by way of Carthage in North Africa.
Two hundred years later, the zero concept finally diffused into the
university system and became widely used in Europe largely because of its
conceptual novelty. The zero was not only a tremendously powerful
mathematical tool but also a catalyst that elevated the conceptual faculty of
individual human beings to new heights. It is only the knowledge of the
capability for unlimited multiplying and dividing and thereby ratioing -- and
for evaluating relative experiences that is provided exclusively by the
zero/place-value numerical system that could possibly enable individual
human beings to know how to escape from the prison of ignorance which
had been successfully established for centuries.
It was the zero, the mathematical nothing, that brought Europe out of the
Dark/Middle Ages, out of the spell of mysticism, to the Renaissance, to a
sunlit world of reason. Because the zero was indeed "nothing," the
knowledge-monopolizing neocheating power structure whose entire
existence was based upon nonreality, nothing, had improvidently
overlooked it. Because it was a tool unlike the heliocentric theory or
Aristotelian philosophy they could not comprehend its power and foresee
the danger that it entailed for them. The zero, thus, became an essential and
indispensable tool in the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Copernicus, Kepler,
Galileo, and Newton. It also brought about Columbus' revised concepts of
terrestrial navigation.
The advancement of science since the Renaissance is greatly indebted to
this something-called-nothing -- the zero. If the zero had not been
discovered, humanity would still be in a dark age, scientifically and
technologically. Imagine doing complex and highly sophisticated
computations required for astrophysics or quantum mechanics by means of
Roman numerals. It would be impossible. Those fields of modern science
could not even exist without the zero and the place-value numeration. To
understand the genuine importance of this mathematical null-value is to
know the depth of our civilization and the power of human consciousness.
Through the discovery and propagation of the zero and the place-value
numeration, humanity could achieve an immense advancement and a
geometrical increase in scientific knowledge previously unimagined.
Despite the remarkable progress in science, however, speaking
philosophically, humanity has lived, until today, with philosophical Roman
numerals alone, as it were. It was not until Ayn Rand developed her
philosophy, Objectivism, in the mid-twentieth century that philosophy
found its renaissance for the first time since Aristotle. Ayn Rand was the
Copernicus of philosophy and she brought about a genuine philosophical
Copernican Revolution.
Neo-Tech was discovered in the mid-1970s by Frank R. Wallace to further
that philosophical renaissance, not only by integrating all the valid
philosophical, psychological, and scientific knowledge on the basis of
Aristotelian-Objectivist principles, but also by making a philosophical
regression utterly impossible through its fully integrated philosophical
matrix that identifies and eliminates the whole edifice of mysticism and its
symbiotic neocheating. What the zero accomplished in the field of science,
Neo-Tech is achieving in the sphere of human life, particularly in the field
of philosophy. As the zero heightened the capability of humans to deal with
reality mathematically, Neo-Tech heightens the competence of all men and
women to deal with reality philosophically. As the zero nullifies unneeded
numerical values to render new values, Neo-Tech nullifies nonvalue or
nonreality -- mysticism and neocheating -- to bring forth values.
It was the zero, the nonmystical "nothing," that brought about the
evolution of scientific knowledge. And it is Neo-Tech, the philosophical
zero, that will bring forth not only the evolution of knowledge but also the
evolvement of human happiness and prosperity, forever. The zero rendered
all the numerical systems of the past totally obsolete. Neo-Tech now
renders obsolete every system of philosophy that has ever existed, even
Aristotelian or Objectivist philosophy, while integrating all valid knowledge
of the past, the present, and the future in its forever-evolving philosophical
matrix. The zero is the most potent mathematical tool ever to be conceived
and Neo-Tech is the most powerful philosophical tool ever to be
discovered. The zero and Neo-Tech are both based on Aristotelian
principles, on objective reality, and epitomize the power of human
consciousness in its full glory.
Neo-Tech is the philosophical zero. Indeed, to comprehend its depth and
harness its power is not only to achieve a life of unlimited prosperity and
happiness, but also to live forever, even after the Sun dies.
8. NEO-TECH, THE PHILOSOPHICAL ZERO
Neo-Tech is: a new technology based on fully integrated honesty. "New"
means never before discovered, never before identified. "Technology"
means the application of knowledge. "Fully integrated honesty" means
honesty that is based on contextual facts and objective reality, and applied
in every dimension, every facet, and every moment of life. "Honesty"
means the active state of according oneself with reality. Neo-Tech is a new
system of knowledge that self-contains the knowledge of application or to
which the knowledge of self-application is integral. And Neo-Tech
contains, integrally and integratedly, philosophical, psychological, and
scientific knowledge.
The physicist-mathematician Sir James Jeans (1877-1946) cogently defined
science as "the earnest attempt to set in order the facts of experience."
Philosophy is a sphere of science that deals with "order" itself; it is the
science or knowledge of the principles of "ordering" the facts of
experience. Philosophy permeates the entire field of science and provides
the principle or the context in which to set in order given facts of
experience that pertain to a particular branch of science. Without a valid
philosophical foundation no branch of science could arrive at a valid
picture or theory of the reality-sphere about which it is concerned.
Experience is the raw material of science. Existence and
cognition/consciousness are always inherently present in all experiences.
Experience is the complex awareness of existing, of self coexisting with all
the nonself. Experience is always biterminal, i.e., it has a beginning and an
end. Since experience is biterminal, and thus finite, it can be stored,
studied, directed, and, with conscious effort, set in order for various human
advantages. Science is that conscious effort/experience for setting in order
a finite set of finite experiences, and philosophy is a particular conscious
effort/experience for setting in order the very experience of setting in order.
Philosophy, thus, concerns itself with the principle of "ordering" and
provides a contextual order for all branches of science and all spheres of
human existence. Furthermore, a philosophical context is self-referential,
that is, it is not only the context for science and human existence but also
serves as its own context. Philosophy, therefore, is the reflection or the
expression of the fundamental inner working of consciousness qua
consciousness. No philosophy had ever existed before the advent of
consciousness. The bicameral mind had various myths but not a single
philosophy. To be human, to be conscious, in essence is to be a philosopher
and what kind of philosophy one consciously or subconsciously possesses
determines the entire destiny of his life. Similarly, what kind of philosophy
humanity as a whole predominantly chooses determines the entire course of
human history.
Neo-Tech identifies two fundamental systems of philosophy: Platonistic
and Aristotelian. Platonistic philosophy is rooted in the perceptivity-
centered (or the emulated bicameral) modality of consciousness and breeds
mysticism and neocheating. Aristotelian philosophy is rooted in the
conceptuality-centered modality of consciousness and breeds knowledge.
Platonistic philosophy has been used mostly in the fields of government,
politics, and religion, fields that exist not through producing values but
through usurping values. Aristotelian philosophy has been used mostly in
the fields of science, technology, and productive business the fields that
create values.
Since the grand neocheating strategy by the master neocheaters of antiquity
has prevailed, the forces of government, politics, and religion have reigned
over the world. Platonistic philosophy has dominated and determined the
course of human history, while productive scientists, technologists
(including engineers. artists, and craftsmen), and businessmen (including
the working class and farmers) have continued to produce value's quietly,
implicitly employing Aristotelian principles. Ironically, no one except a
handful of master neocheaters such as popes was able to know the real
cause of physical devastation and spiritual destruction which humanity
seemed destined to endure. For no knowledge existed that could
successfully identify mysticism and neocheating in their causal and
structural entirety.
Neo-Tech is such a knowledge. Neo-Tech is the only system of knowledge
that is designed to identify and collapse the entire edifice of mysticism and
its symbiotic neocheating. Neo-Tech brings to light the total
epistemological structure and mechanics of mysticism and neocheating
through its fully integrated and evolving philosophical matrix. With Neo-
Tech, people around the world are now capable, for the first time in
history, to rid their consciousness of the 3000year-old mental cancer --
mysticism, and also to rid their lives of the 3000-year-old mystical hoax
neocheating. Neo-Tech indeed is the first philosophical device or
knowledge-tool (organum) ever developed for the complete extirpation of
the philosophical plague -- mysticism and neocheating -- that has afflicted
humanity for three millennia.
In the history of philosophy three organums (the principles or the tools of
knowledge) were developed before Neo-Tech -- the first, "Organum." by
Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), the second, "Novum Organum," by Francis
Bacon (1561-1626), and the third, "Tertium Organum," by Pyotr D.
Ouspensky (1878-1947). Neo-Tech by Frank R. Wallace is the fourth
organum and completes the work by Aristotle. Aristotle, through his
"Organum," identified and developed the whole principle of valid
knowledge, i.e., logic. He developed the principle of noncontradictory
identification whereby all knowledge is discovered, verified, and evaluated.
Even when his various misconclusions, such as his geocentric theory, were
disproved, it is his organum that was used to disprove them.
Although Bacon had very little regard for either Plato or Aristotle, "Novum
Organum" nevertheless exhibits a mixture of Platonistic and Aristotelian
principles, and thus is fundamentally Platonistic (for no system can be built
on the basis of Aristotelian principle if it "incorporates" Platonism; only
within a Platonistic context can some fragments of Aristotelian knowledge
be admixed, mainly as tools for non sequiturs). "Tertium Organum," by
P.D. Ouspensky, a Russian mathematician-turned-mystic who studied
under another Russian mystic, G.I. Gurdjieff, is characterized by its
regression into Platonism with an Eastern philosophy/psychology
undertone. His conception of consciousness, "cosmic consciousness," as
well as his interpretation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity and fourth
dimension, is highly mystical and thus has little to do with reality qua
reality.
The following is a comparison chart that demonstrates the difference
between Aristotle's Organum and Ouspensky's Tertium Organum:
Organum: A is A.
A is not not-A.
Each existent is either A or not-A.
Tertium Organum: A is both A and not-A.
or
All is A and A is all.
If A is both A and not-A, how can one identify A in the first place? If
Tertium Organum is true, then everything loses its identity and nothing can
be known -- even Tertium Organum itself cannot be known. Ouspensky
recognizes that his logic is absurd and attempts to exculpate himself from
this apparent contradiction by saying, "We must be prepared for the fact
that it is impossible to express superlogical relations ("higher logic") in our
language." What is his philosophy based upon? A profound mistrust and
contempt in man's "ordinary" cognitive process and the power of reason.
Where does his philosophy lead? To a complete denial of conceptual
knowledge. His philosophy of "higher logic" is a total negation of reality in
the name of "higher reality." Only those who are profoundly dissatisfied
and unhappy with reality could aspire to such a philosophy. Yet, P.D.
Ouspensky was one of the most brilliant Platonists in history, integrating
Eastern mysticism into Platonism with remarkable intellectual
sophistication.
As Aristotle provided the fundamental principle of all valid knowledge and
action, Neo-Tech offers the principle that identifies all invalid knowledge
and action. Metaphorically, Aristotle evolved the philosophical positional
number system and Neo-Tech discovered the philosophical zero raising
Aristotelian philosophy to new heights. In essence, with Neo-Tech, the
philosophical zero, man's philosophical capability for dealing with reality
increases infinitely, in much the same way as the zero has infinitely
increased man's mathematical capability for dealing with reality. Platonistic
philosophy and other philosophical systems that are based upon Platonistic
principles are the philosophical Roman numerals and cripple man's
philosophical or conceptual ability to deal with reality successfully, and
thereby to achieve knowledge, power, happiness, and prosperity. With
Neo-Tech, the philosophical renaissance will indeed unfold forevermore.
Humanity as a whole now faces an unprecedented crisis brought about by
the disparity between scientific/technological development, which was
effected by the zero and Aristotelian philosophy, and the
philosophical/moral/political underdevelopment, which was caused by
Platonistic philosophy, mysticism, and neocheating. At the same time.
humanity as a whole also now faces an unprecedented opportunity made
possible by advancements in science and technology, by the discovery and
development of Neo-Tech, and by the subsequent flourishing of productive
business all around the world. The following are some of the major
obstacles in achieving and realizing the unprecedented opportunity that
now awaits humanity.
(I) Platonistic/Kantian philosophies, and prevailing mysticism/neocheating
that arise therefrom:
The task of philosophy and the job of a philosopher is not to obfuscate but
to clarify reality, not to complicate but to simplify living, i.e., not to
further mystify but to progressively demystify the human mind in relation to
reality and human life. However, except for Aristotle, Ayn Rand, and a few
others, most philosophers throughout history have almost completely
defaulted in their responsibility.
Ever since Plato elaborated the sophistry of "reality creation" and
developed the matrix of noncontextual logic (inner logic that has no reality-
integrating context), philosophy has gone astray, falling ever deeper into
the trap of mysticism. Yet, no philosopher, not even Plato, could
systematically deny man's rational faculty and attack the validity of
reason... until the German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804).
The expressly stated purpose of Kant's philosophy is to save the "morality"
of self-abnegation and self-sacrifice, i.e., altruism. Since no rational basis
can exist to support altruism (Aristotle, for example, successfully
disqualified Plato's theory of Forms), what it has to be saved from in
honesty is conceptual-centered consciousness and its prime faculty, reason.
In order to fulfill his purpose, Kant conjures up a new version of Plato's
Forms called the "noumenal" world and sets out to 'prove" that the
noumenal world by nature cannot be known, that it is out of reach of
reason, while declaring all along that it is the world of "real" reality.
"higher" truth, and "things in themselves."
Kant imperiously uses his noncontextual logic in proving his brazenly clear
conclusion with unintelligible arguments that are full of evasions,
equivocations, obfuscations, circumlocutions, and non sequiturs. He
proclaims as self-evident what is in reality arbitrary or untrue, and provides
erudite references to science as well as to pseudo-science to create an
illusion of credibility. Thus, through his noncontextual inner logic and
mind-paralyzing unintelligibility, Kant cleverly shifts morality from the
sphere of reason to the domain of faith and declares that what cannot be
known by reason (the noumenal world -the source of morality) can be
believed, whereby making morality exempt from reason.
Kant asserts that the human mind by nature distorts reality because
everything that is conceived by consciousness is conceived through
automatic filters in consciousness (termed categories). Thus, according to
him, reality as conceived by consciousness is inherently subjective, and
objective reality, the noumenal world or things in themselves, forever
remains on the other shore of reason not to be known but only to be
believed. Therefore, consciousness, because it is consciousness, because it
is a cognitive faculty because of its very identity as a cognitive faculty,
cannot cognize reality as such.
If reality conceived by consciousness were in truth inherently subjective
and, therefore, relative, then his entire philosophy itself would lose its
claim to truth. For, any statement that is made with regard to reality demands
itself to be objective. A statement that reality is subjective is inescapably
self-contradictory and negates its own validity. In point of fact, Kant's
philosophy is an extremely clever exploitation of a common
misunderstanding concerning objectivity.
Objectivity, epistemologically speaking, is the state of cognition that
acquires knowledge of reality by means of reason in accordance with logic,
the principle of noncontradictory identification. Epistemologically,
objectivity rests upon the universality of reason and logic. Metaphysically
speaking, objectivity is the recognition of the fact that reality exists
independent of consciousness...of any particular state of consciousness.
Metaphysically too, objectivity rests upon the universality of reason and
logic.
Metaphysical objectivity, the fact that reality exists independent of
consciousness, does not mean that reality exists beyond the reach of
consciousness, as Kant maintains, but it means that reality exists beyond
any arbitrary factor of the cognitive experience, beyond anyone's feeling,
emotion, wish, or awareness/unawareness. Through the universal means of
reason that accords itself with logic the universal principle of
noncontradictory identification, one can always apprehend and comprehend
reality that is objective and immutable (see Chapter 4).
What is required is not faith or belief but discipline -- the discipline to use
one's consciousness in accordance with logic regardless of feelings,
emotions, or wishes. Discipline is the process of consciously creating
increasingly higher order within oneself. Philosophy is a discipline.
Business is a discipline. Kant's philosophy offers the most clever rationale
in history for the evasion of discipline, any discipline that is required for a
rational apprehension of reality.
Kant's philosophy had a devastating impact on subsequent history. Both
Marxism and Nazism have their philosophical roots in Kantian
epistemology and ethics -- the epistemology not of knowledge but of blind
faith and the morality of self-sacrifice and self-abnegation. All current
philosophies, which arc in reality anti-philosophies, such as existentialism,
pragmatism, and "logical" positivism which proclaims, inter alia, that one
cannot prove that he exists, grew out of Kant. Kant's philosophy indeed
was the culmination of Platonism and became the temple of mystics and the
Bible of neocheaters.
The still-prevailing Platonistic philosophy. mysticism, and neocheating
around the world are indebted to Kant and his philosophy. If Plato is
immoral. Kant is evil to the core of his soul, for he deliberately and
knowingly undercut reason and consciousness, and thus the dignity of man
as thoroughly as any human being can -- a feat Plato could never have
surpassed because of his professed respect for reason. (Authentic and
generally sincere respect for reason was implicit in all Greek philosophies).
Through Kant, philosophy became not only a useless exercise of the mind
but also a lethal weapon of neocheating. Kant provided not only an
opportunity for mediocre minds to feign an air of profundity but also an
extremely powerful tool for clever mystics and neocheaters to rationalize
their existence, which consists solely of destruction, manipulation, or
plundering of others.
But now, through Neo-Tech, humanity has an intellectual lie detector by
which an ordinary person can see through the neocheating labyrinth of
Immanuel Kant and the mystical edifice of Plato. The hidden advantage of
master neocheaters such as Kant rests solely upon the fact that they know
untruth as untruth and nonreality as nonreality, while others are made to
believe untruth as truth and nonreality as reality. However, no matter how
clever Kant is or how brilliant Plato is, they can never deny reality in
reality. Reality is there...to be known and to be integrated. Neo-Tech offers
not only an integrated picture of reality but also, through its matrix-
structure, definitive tools for the conceptual integration of reality.
Through Neo-Tech, people will he able to see that the philosophical
labyrinth of Kant is nothing save an extremely clever scheme for concealing
his incompetence as a thinker and manipulating others into believing his
conclusions with no regard to truth and reality. Through Neo-Tech, people
will also be able to see that the mystical edifice of Plato is nothing save a
brilliant fabrication for controlling others and imposing his own will onto
reality. Through Neo-Tech, reality will consistently reveal its commanding
presence, shine forth upon the darkness of nonreality, and cast away that
which has never in reality existed except in the minds of men under the
spell of mysticism and its symbiotic neocheating.
(2) The grand myth that there is an inherent inadequacy or scarcity of life
support such as food or money (symbolizing real value) on this planet:
In 1800, after receiving a complete inventory of the world's vital and
economic statistics for the first time in history, Thomas Malthus, later
professor of political economics at the East India Company College.
concluded that the world population was increasing at a rate of geometrical
progression. whereas life-support production was increasing only at a rate
of arithmetical progression. In 1810 he confirmed this earlier finding.
Thomas Malthus thus proved mathematically what people all over the
world had innately believed since the beginning of human history, that there
was an inherent inadequacy of life support on the planet and that the
situation would become progressively worse.
"Pray all you want," said Malthus, "it will do you no good. There is no
more!" A half-century later, Charles Darwin developed his theory of
evolution, propounding that the inexorable processes of nature were the
consequence of the "survival only of the fittest species and individuals
within those species." Karl Marx compounded both Malthus' and Darwin's
scientifically convincing conclusions in order to "prove" his predecided
point, and said, in effect, "The proletariat are the fittest to survive, for
they are the ones who know how to handle the toots and seeds to produce the
life support. The opulent others, the bourgeoisie, are mere parasites."
The opulent others argued semi-rationally, "We are opulent and at the top
of the heap because we have successfully demonstrated the Darwinian
principle, survival of the fittest. The workers are dull-minded and have no
vision. What is of essence for survival in this world is cunning, intellectual
fighting skills, and farsighted enterprise." For the last century these two
political/economic ideologies, communism and so-called capitalism, have
dominated the political affairs of the world -- both coming from the
assumption that there is not enough to go around.
However, missing in Malthus' theory was a critical understanding regarding
the power of the human mind and consciousness, as well as consideration
concerning the possible evolution of human knowledge. He disregarded or
failed to see that knowledge could and did indeed increase at a geometric-
progression rate that would far exceed the growth of human population,
overcoming the seemingly inevitable paucity of life support on Earth. The
advancement of scientific and technological knowledge, which includes the
food-production/distribution technology and the development of the birth-
control pill, has long eradicated the once universal and seemingly inevitable
inadequacy of life-supporting goods. In a world where there are sufficient
numbers of producers who produce more than they consume, inadequacy
of life support or overpopulation is categorically impossible. And once
mysticism and neocheating are eradicated from the planet -- once the Neo-
Tech world comes into existence, each human being will always produce
more values than he or she can ever consume, so that the impossibility of
the inadequacy of life support or overpopulation will further become self-
evident.
However, in spite of the clear evidence that humanity now has more than
enough life support and everyone on this planet can be self-sufficiently
wealthy if he or she works honestly and productively within his or her
capability to produce values for others, the political neocheaters continue
to propagate and exploit that age-old myth of inadequacy in order to stay
in "power" and control the misguided populace. The religious neocheaters
apply the myth of scarcity to their "Heaven" and say, in effect, "There is
not enough space out there in the heaven, and in order to be the fittest to
survive in that world, you must follow our teaching and donate your money
and soul to prove that you are indeed worthy of survival after your death."
This is a clear example of creating problems where none in fact exist. The
increasing sufficiency of life support on Earth indicates an entirely new era
of human life and history: War is unnecessary. Governmental politics is
unnecessary. All manipulation, deception, and physical force are
unnecessary. In other words, neocheating in every form is unnecessary and
in reality obsolete. For every man and woman can now live with an ever-
increasing standard of living, and achieve genuine wealth, prosperity, and
happiness through his or her own honest, rational, and productive effort,
thinking, and action without ever destroying others. With Neo-Tech and its
complete annihilation of mysticism and neocheating, the one most able to
survive -- the honest and rational individual -- now becomes what he or she
deserves to he, the fittest to survive.
Neo-Tech shows every conscious being the way to become a true producer
of values, and works as a catalyst in bringing forth a world of ever-evolving
happiness and prosperity with the only rational, value-oriented, natural-to-
humans social/political/economic system, i.e., laissez-faire, free-enterprise
capitalism. And it is on the basis of increasing sufficiency of life support on
Earth that the value-oriented Neo-Tech business world -- a profit-oriented,
laissez-faire, free-enterprise capitalist society -- is built. Value is the
actualized knowledge or accomplished technological capacity that protects,
nurtures, supports, and accommodates all growing needs of life. Money is
the effective means of exchanging disparate and nonequitable items of real
value. In a rational business world, the relationship of money or profit to
real value will be logically authenticated, and money or profit will follow
the production of values naturally.
(3) National division: Since war is in reality obsolete, national division only
serves as a means of protecting an individual who happened to choose
living in a particular location on this planet so that he can exercise his free
will, free choice, and free action in pursuing his productive career. It is not
nations but individuals and companies that must compete in creating and
producing values higher than others in the same business. It is not to
nations but to themselves that individuals must belong. It is not with
nations but with companies that they must identify themselves. For it is not
where one lives but what he does to create values for others that is of
significance. People do not and cannot choose their birth, their place of
birth, or their parents. People do choose and must choose, however, what
careers to pursue and which companies or organizations to work for
(including their own). Society, therefore, must be structured on the basis of
people's conscious choices, and people should not be bound by things over
which they can have no choice whatsoever, such as their birthplace, sex, or
color.
The world's neocheating power structures have always "divided to
conquer" and have always "kept divided to keep conquering." As a
consequence, the neocheating power structures have so divided humanity -
- not only into special-function categories but also into religious, national,
language, and color categories -- that humanity at large has lost its ability
to distinguish between earned values such as knowledge, skill, or character
and coincidental attributes such as color or nationality. It is imperative to
structure the world on the basis of earned values and people's free choice
or will. Neo-Tech makes a clear identification of the human value system
and helps to create a world in which every individual is identified not in
terms of accidental attributes but of earned values acquired through his
conscious choice and effort.
People do not belong to their countries. People do not have any obligation
to their countries. People's obligation is only to themselves and to their
dependent children. No one should hinder others from fulfilling their
obligation. It is to that extent, and to that extent only, that people are
collectively responsible for one another's well-being. The current national
division, to a large extent, is the result of the "real-estate war" fought over
the centuries amongst power-hungry, physical-property-coveting
neocheaters. A nation is a nonfundamental entity that exists solely on the
basis of agreements among individuals. What is fundamental is a conscious
individual human being who, unlike nations, can think, create, and produce.
Nations cannot exist without people, but people can exist without nations -
- probably much more happily and successfully.
Collectivism, therefore, is an inversion of reality. Individualism based upon
the sound recognition that a conscious individual is the highest cause and
the supreme value in existence is the only reality-based moral, ethical,
political philosophy there is. In the future Neo-Tech world, countries will
be recognized for what they really are, i.e., agreed-upon divisions for the
convenience of living together. In the future Neo-Tech world, the planet
will be seen as dynamic, synergetic interactions among companies and
businesses whose Primum Mobiles (Prime movers) are the productive,
energetic Neo-Tech men and women living happily and prosperously as the
permanent residents of the universe.
(4) Over specialization of knowledge: Because of the successive master
neocheaters' extremely effective strategy of specializing knowledge,
universities around the world still continue to divide and subdivide the
otherwise-integrated sphere of knowledge into many fragments. As a
consequence, the great majority of humanity is incapable of understanding
the language of science, the most highly specialized field of knowledge. In
addition, the educator/philosophers who belong to the John Dewey-genre
school of thought and fundamentalist/creationist religious fanatics further
spur humanity into scientific illiteracy-. Furthermore, scientists and
mathematicians often base their philosophical thinking upon Platonistic
principles, or completely divorce themselves from philosophical thought,
resulting in a highly fragmented and isolated utilization of Aristotelian
principles.
Therefore, humanity at large does not realize that all that science has ever
come to know is the fact that the physical universe consists of an
interreciprocating technology with exquisite design principles, which
consciousness discovers and harnesses to create all human technology. The
great majority of people think that technology is a "new" phenomenon and
identify it with (1) weapons and/or (2) machines, the latter, competing with
them for their jobs. Because of these notions (or misconceptions) and all
the antitechnology propaganda by the mystics and neocheaters, most
people erroneously think that they are against technology, without realizing
that the technology they do not understand and are against is a sine qua
non for achieving never-before-possible prosperity and happiness on Earth.
(Nothing inherent in technology causes environmental pollution. Further
technological advances will soon solve the problem if there is no
government interference.)
Business not only requires a wide integration of knowledge but also is the
integrating force of knowledge. It is in business that various fields of
knowledge meet and together produce values that have never before
existed. It is in business that science and technology bear their fruits and
transform nature into values. It is in business that philosophy meets the
challenge of life and finds its application in the productive sphere of human
life. Therefore, the overspecialization of knowledge that humanity has
experienced since time immemorial and still continues to experience implies
that the function of business in society has been continuously truncated
until today. Furthermore, in the current system of university education,
business itself is seen as a specialized field and taught mostly by professors
who have never been in business themselves. In reality, business is not a
specialized field but a synthesis of other fields of knowledge which
integrates philosophy, science, and technology into a system of value
production encompassing the entire sphere of human existence.
Overspecialization of knowledge, on the one hand, brought about a
scientific/mathematical esotericism that is inaccessible to the general public
and at times divorced from reality, and on the other hand, effected the
truncation of the function and the purpose of business. Neo-Tech, through
its full integration of philosophical principles, reveals a stunningly new
picture of the universe and opens a new path of science that is not only free
of Platonism (a divorce from reality) but also will bring a new
revolution/evolution of scientific knowledge that is accessible to every
conscious being, which, then, in turn will make possible the world-wide
realization of highly advanced technological societies and scientific literacy.
It further reveals an integrated picture of business and its function not only
in human societies but also in the universe. In the final two chapters of this
treatise, the science of the future and the never-before realized purpose of
business are explored.
9. THE NEO-TECH REVOLUTION
Every time knowledge reaches a new height, a whole new dimension of the
unknown unfolds right in front of our eyes. We become aware of a
dimension of the unknown which we previously did not know that we did
not know. Since all of human knowledge is based on finite experience,
there is always a sphere of existence or a dimension of reality that is as yet
unknown. Knowledge perennially begets new dimensions of the unknown,
which in turn begets new realms of knowledge and expands forever into
infinity.
The Copernican Revolution revealed to humanity the fact that there is
absolutely no "up" or "down', "above" or "below" in the universe, nor does
the Sun "rise" or "set" on the Earth. An apple does not fall "down" to the
ground; it simply collides with the surface of the Earth. What then is
gravity? The Copernican Revolution not only totally transformed
humanity's philosophical conception of the universe but also brought to
light a whole new dimension of the unknown and a whole new set of
questions. And the history of science since Copernicus has been that of a
continual unfolding of new discoveries, new unknowns, new questions, and
new realms of knowledge.
The Copernican Revolution laid ground for Newton's discovery of
universal gravitation, which in turn, with other brilliant discoveries, made
possible Einstein's Theory of Relativity and quantum physics of the 20th
century. Beginning with Einstein, physicists around the world began a new
search, an extraordinary intellectual enterprise, to give a complete
description of the foundation of matter, space, and time with a single set of
linked equations that contains the elements of the entire universe -- a
theory formally known as the unification theory or the unified field theory
and referred to, half-humorously, as the Theory of Everything (TOE).
Einstein spent his later life searching for a unification theory -- in vain.
Others in the late 20th century are coming increasingly closer to a TOE in a
strictly physical sense through highly complex manipulations of
mathematical/geometrical formulations such as in the superstring theory.
Within this historical context, Neo-Tech reveals an in toto different, new
unification theory that will mark a new Copernican Revolution of scientific
knowledge: the Neo-Tech Revolution. Throughout the history of science,
consciousness has been seen only as a passive observer and conceptual
integrator of cosmic phenomena, having nothing whatsoever to do with the
destiny of the universe. Some in the field of quantum physics challenge that
notion, and assert that the observer and the observed are inextricably linked
and constitute one unified field or context of reality, and therefore
consciousness could be a participating/ contributing element in the destiny
of the universe.
However, quantum physics, and science in general, lack the crucial
knowledge and system of identification regarding the nature of
consciousness. Thus, while quantum physics is an extremely efficient
mathematical tool in predicting the subatomic phenomena, it fails to
provide a unified theory concerning the nature of reality and the destiny of
the universe. Moreover, some physicists indulge themselves in the mystical
notion of "cosmic consciousness" due, partly, to the lack of knowledge
with respect to consciousness and, mainly, to the philosophical poverty
within the scientific community.
On the basis of Julian Jaynes' discovery and Aristotelian principles, the
Neo-Tech unification theory states that consciousness -- not some "cosmic
consciousness," which does not and cannot exist in reality, but "earthly"
consciousness, which human beings and other conscious beings throughout
the universe possess -- is not only an essential component of reality but also
the dominating force of the universe. The Neo-Tech unification theory
demonstrates, on the basis of Einstein's model of the physical universe, that
only through conscious beings' accumulation, integration and harnessing of
knowledge, and utilization of technology therefrom, can the universe
sustain its cosmic order eternally. And conscious beings sustain the cosmic
order of the universe not just to maintain the universe per se but to sustain
their own existence in the universe. For conscious beings always recognize
the supreme value of individual consciousness within a universe, and
therefore realize that conscious life must be sustained forever.
The Neo-Tech unification theory proves that consciousness is the mightiest
controlling power in the universe and that each conscious being possesses
that mightiest power equally in abundance, regardless of his or her native
intelligence. The pre-eminent feature of this theory is that, even if the
model of the physical universe employed in its exploration -- the long-
wave/short-wave model -- is proved wrong or incorporated into a larger
model, its fundamental thesis will remain eternally true -- for no matter
what the physical or mathematical laws of the universe are, conscious
beings will always discover and harness them to their greatest advantages.
If an imminent annihilation of the physical universe approaches (as the long
wave/short wave model suggests), a conscious being will literally create a
new galaxy to sustain its life and maintain the cosmic order of the universe
(see "We The Creators of Heavens and Earths" by Frank R. Wallace, 1986,
I & 0 Publishing).
The first step toward that mightiest power on Earth is the complete
elimination of mystics and their symbiotic neocheaters. The entire Neo-
Tech literature including this treatise is dedicated to that purpose. The
second step toward that mightiest power on Earth is to achieve commercial
biological immortality. Life, as explored in the fourth chapter, is an
autopoietic-cognitive process, and there is nothing in the nature of life that
dictates that a living system has to perish and die, particularly a conscious
living system such as a human being, for life as such is innately self-
regenerative. Then, why is there the process of aging and the phenomenon
of dying? The process of aging is the result of life's mathematically
inevitable aberration probability of regenerative process. Each cell in the
body continuously copies and recopies (self-regenerates) itself with some
(mathematically inevitable) slight aberrations along the way, and the
accumulation of those aberrations over the years is what is called aging.
When the body is well cared for in a proper environment with proper
nutrition, the aberration probability will be greatly reduced.
When the degree of accumulated aberrations exceeds the degree of
accuracy in regenerative copying, the body ceases to regenerate itself and
eventually dies (death is the cessation of autopoiesis -- self-generation, and
therefore of cognition/consciousness). The aberration probability, generally
speaking, increases gradually as time passes (because the regenerative
mechanism itself is subject to the aberration probability), and the body ages
steadily. However, the aging process can be greatly prolonged and
humanity of the future will be able to live an extremely long life -- probably
three to four hundred years very easily as the technology to measure and
control the aberration probability is developed; and when the probability is
controlled to zero, an individual can literally live forever.
There are several different ways to achieve biological immortality. Human
cloning is one. One is to recreate electrochemically an individual's entire
body, which includes his brain and total information stored therein, by
reducing his integrated physical pattern into a set of mathematical
equations and measuring the balance and quantity of the 92 chemical
components in his body. And then those 92 measured chemical substances
would be electrically reconstructed into an exact replica of his body
through such technologies as advanced nanotechnology. Finally, his
integrated mental pattern would he transferred into his new body
electroholographically. The basic method of electrical
reconstruction/transference can be applied to such purposes as transporting
people to far corners of the universe electrically, or electrotransmitting
mathematically equated integrated patterns of living organisms to an earth-
like planet somewhere in the universe -- to construct a life-environment on
that planet, with the chemical elements available, in order to assure that
conscious beings will eventually be present in a crucial location in the
universe in keeping the cosmic balance and order of the whole universe.
The purpose of biological immortality, however, is not merely to
reconstruct one's body and the information stored therein but to preserve
the self, the conscious core of one's being, what Frank R. Wallace calls the
sense of I-ness. The self is the metaphysical/epistemological axis within the
entire sphere of consciousness in relation to which all the information
stored in the brain is structurally integrated. Through self-consciousness,
the universe becomes divided into the self and the nonself, and experience
begins. (Experience is the complex awareness of self coexisting with all the
nonself.) The sense of I-ness sets consciousness in motion. It is the core of
consciousness' autopoiesis; it is the autopoiesis. Therefore, the I-ness
cannot be reconstructed by any means externally; it can only be transferred
to trigger autopoiesis -- and here lies the greatest technological challenge
of biological immortality.
Consciousness does not age, because it is not a physical living process that
regenerates to exist but a metaphysical phenomenon that generates itself
solely through metaphysical concepts and principles, albeit it requires a
living conscious agent to sustain its existence. For the self-interest of a
conscious being, his or her own conscious life of rational necessity
becomes the highest value, the supreme cause, in the whole universe.
Therefore, his or her conscious life must always be sustained. The
sustenance of conscious existence with the sense of I-ness and all of one's
character/personality traits, thus, becomes the highest and the ultimate
moral purpose of every conscious being living anywhere in the universe.
Therefore, the purpose of biological immortality is to preserve oneself for
the sake of oneself to achieve ever higher prosperity and happiness for
oneself forever (see "Three Steps To Achieving Commercial Biological
Immortality In Our Lifetime" by Frank R. Wallace, t & 0 Publishing).
Moreover, once commercial biological immortality becomes a reality, each
conscious being's knowledge will infinitely expand, first accelerating at a
tremendous rate of geometrical progression, and then eventually at the
speed of light. Thus, the realization of commercial biological immortality
serves the destiny of the whole universe as well. The achievement of
commercial biological immortality indeed is the utmost moral purpose of
present humanity on Earth. And the complete eradication of mysticism,
internal as welt as external, and of neocheating around the world, is an
extremely urgent issue facing every man and woman on this planet today.
For mysticism and neocheating are the only obstacles to the achievement of
commercial biological immortality and all other life enhancing values that
exist and will ever exist in the universe.
Through the eradication of mysticism and its symbiotic neocheaters, and
the subsequent achievement of commercial biological immortality,
humanity will begin to fulfill its cosmic function as the local information
gatherer, knowledge integrator, and problem solver of the universe. Thus,
through the realization of commercial biological immortality on the planet
Earth, humanity can join the ranks of other highly advanced conscious
beings existing throughout the universe who have not only achieved
biological immortality but who have also attained the power for controlling
the eternal destiny of the universe and for reigning over infinity.
Existence is not intertransformable with nonexistence; existence does not
turn into nonexistence nor does nonexistence turn into existence.
Therefore, the axiomatic fact of reality that existence exists proves that
existence is eternal and infinite. Thus, the universe -- the complex
aggregate of all consciously apprehended and communicated experiences
of events in existence -- is actually eternal and potentially infinite. That
means the universe has never had a beginning nor will it ever have an
ending, nor can it possibly have any beginning or ending.
Given the infinity of existence and its eternal span of time, what is
theoretically possible will occur infinite times in actuality. The fact that
conscious beings exist on the planet Earth unequivocally proves that there
have been and there will be billions upon billions of conscious beings
existing throughout the universe. Moreover, the fact that commercial
biological immortality is theoretically possible further proves that there
have been and will be millions upon millions of conscious beings living
eternally.
Conscious beings' accumulation of knowledge increases, first at a
geometrical progression rate, then eventually at the speed of light. Thus,
their power for controlling the universe and its destiny also increases at a
tremendous rate. Therefore, the amount of knowledge and power that
might be possessed by conscious beings who have achieved commercial
biological immortality millions of years ago is totally beyond the
imagination of current humanity on Earth. And probability statistics
indicate that these highly advanced conscious beings exist not by the few
but by the billions.
Furthermore, it is logically predicated that many of those highly advanced
conscious beings have attained the power to control the entire universe,
and that the universe is virtually run by them. For, as mentioned before,
given an infinite span of time, what is theoretically possible will occur
infinite times. Those conscious beings not only control the existing universe
but also can freely create new universes, whereby infinitely expanding the
realms of existence forever. The universe is the eternal scenario of
existence written by those highly evolved conscious beings that exist
throughout the whole universe. Through the achievement of commercial
biological immortality on Earth, we, too, will someday be able to write the
scenario of our own universe.
Neo-Tech is the name given on the planet. Earth to the primordial essence
of all knowledge that conscious beings can ever possess anywhere in the
universe. And the primordial essence of the universe-controlling power that
conscious beings will eventually claim is Neothink. Perceptivity-centered
consciousness incorporates the present with the past in the context of the
past. Conceptuality-centered consciousness incorporates the past with the
present in the context of the present. While these two modalities are
inherently fragmented and can never reach the universe-controlling power,
Neothink integrates the future with the present and the past; it integrates
the entirety of time -- the future, the present, and the past, i.e., eternity.
Neothink also integrates the unknown with the known; it integrates the
entirety of existence, i.e., infinity.
What is Neothink? Neothink is the ultimate modality of conscious
intellection that generates the context-creating matrices through which all
groundbreaking integrations of knowledge can occur. Contexts define the
structure of integration, and context generation is the finest function of
consciousness. Neothink brings into existence a vast integration of
knowledge that would be impossible for the other two modalities of
consciousness, i.e., perceptivity-centered and conceptuality-centered
modalities, precisely because the Neothink integration of knowledge is
accomplished in a self-created context. Perceptivity-centered consciousness
has no context at all. Conceptuality-centered consciousness integrates
knowledge only in an existing context. It is Neothink that takes knowledge
into new dimensions of integration by continually defining ever larger and
finer contexts.
The great thinkers are distinguished not by their intelligence but by their
ability to create a new context. In science, Newton and Einstein are the two
greatest Neothinkers of modern history because they could create the
fundamental contexts that determined the entire course of subsequent
scientific development. In philosophy, Aristotle and Plato are the two
greatest Neothinkers because they created the two fundamental contexts,
albeit radically opposing, that determined the course not only of philosophy
but of the entire history of mankind. (Aristotle defined the context for
reality identification/integration, whereas Plato defined the context for
nonreality generation/rationalization.)
Neothink is amoral. That is why some of the greatest Neothinkers such as
Plato and Kant are master neocheaters. Neo-Tech is the first conceptual
matrix for Neothink formation that is designed to counteract and overcome
the force of Neothink-neocheaters. Neothink is intellectual nuclear power;
it can destroy values and annihilate humanity completely if employed by
master neocheaters, or it can bring eternal happiness to humanity and
transform the universe forever if employed by Neo-Tech individuals. Thus,
for the benefit of all humanity, it is urgent that Neo-Tech, the voice of fully
integrated honesty, be heard and understood, and evolve into the Neo-
Tech/Neothink matrix.
Context creation is the finest form of integration; it is the integration of
integrations. Neothink is a two directional vector, as it were, whose two
distinct magnitudes represent potential eternity and infinity. Context
creation, the integration of integrations, moves into two directions by
increasing its magnitudes ever closer, in one direction, to eternity and, in
another, to infinity. As the zero yields infinity when it divides a given
number, Neo-Tech, the philosophical zero, brings infinity and eternity into
the realm of cognition when it captures the facts of reality in its fully
integrated matrix/context. Hence, the Neo-Tech/Neothink matrix is the
finest and the vastest context-creating matrix-structure whose
infinity/eternity grasping power can far surpass and thus can soon collapse
the neocheating/ Neothink matrix of master neocheaters.
By fully integrating Neo-Tech knowledge while dispelling mysticism and
transcending both perceptivity-centered and conceptuality-centered
modalities...by entering the sphere of Neothink, humanity will be able to
realize that the universe is an eternally regenerative scenario composed and
directed by conscious beings, and consisting of intricate interactions of
eternal design principles that exist as the totality of eternally
noncontradictory abstractions, i.e., as objective and immutable reality. It is
truly remarkable that conscious beings should be able to comprehend these
inexhaustible eternal design principles of the universe and immensely fine
abstractions of reality, and, with Neothink, to control the manifest destiny
of cosmic existence. And through its faultless logic, Neo-Tech eloquently
demonstrates that consciousness, this infinite capacity to know and control,
along with its growth into Neothink, is not an accident but an essential
component of the eternal design of the cosmos.
With Neothink, conscious beings begin to fulfill their destiny. With
Neothink, conscious beings begin to control or alter the manifest destiny of
the universe. The Neothink consciousness is not only the conceptual
integrator of the universe's design principles but also becomes the prime
designer of the cosmos. Neo-Tech, the philosophical zero, made possible
the dawn of Neothink, the rebirth of human consciousness to
unprecedented heights and into full maturity. Now, consciousness on Earth
begins a new journey toward the evolution, a mighty power without end --
the eternal journey and unfoldment of the Neo-Tech Revolution/Evolution.
And the whole romance of that eternal cosmic Neo-Tech journey is called
BUSINESS.
10. THE UNIVERSE, INC.
Business is the integrated circuit of consciousness designed to produce
values. Value is the actualized knowledge that protects, nurtures, supports,
or accommodates all growing needs of life. The process of value
production consists of four stages: (1) metaphysically conceiving potential
values -- the conception stage; (2) metaphysically/physically developing
working models of previously conceived potential values -- the
development stage; (3) physically mass producing previously developed
product-models -- the production stage; (4) physically mass marketing
product-values for consumption -- the marketing stage.
The process of value production is a tetrahedral system (time-tetrahedron)
that divides the universe into that which is relevant and that which is
nonrelevant to the production of particular values. That which is relevant
to the production of particular values includes: all the information and
knowledge that are requited; all the individuals who possess the
information, knowledge, or skills that are required; and all the physical
materials, equipment, space, and time that are needed to produce particular
values.
Each stage of value production -- each vertex of the time-tetrahedron --
has a unique value-index which increases geometrically as the process of
value production evolves from one stage to the next. (The Value-Scale was
first identified by Frank R. Wallace -- the following is a version devised by
the author of this treatise):
VALUE-SCALE
Stage/Vertex Value-Index Value
The conception stage/Vertex I 10^0 10^0 X
The development stage/Vertex 2 10^I l0^I X
The production stage/Vertex 3 10^2 10^2 X
The marketing stage/Vertex 4 l0^3 10^3 X
X = potential value of a product
Business is the integrated circuit of consciousness in which these four
stages of value production take place. The integrated circuitry of business
is a system (space-tetrahedron, which consists of four vertices the
individual, the corporate, the world, and the universe vertices) that
integrates the energy configurations of the universe into a value-producing
machine. Production of value is the process of transforming physical/mental
energy into a physical product of physical/metaphysical value, wherefore,
productivity is the function of efficacy in transforming energy into product.
Productivity means the efficient use of energy or the economics of energy.
Productivity is in inverse proportion to the amount of energy unconverted
into a product of value. The maximization of productivity, therefore,
ultimately means to bring energy-waste to zero.
Energy has patterns, and different tasks consist of different energy-
patterns. For instance, writing an article or a book requires a unique
integration of energy-patterns that is distinctly different from that of
accounting, participating in meetings, or making phone calls. When one
mixes two or more different integrations of energy-patterns together by
shifting from one task to another or from one responsibility to another
without any control structure, interferences of energy occur, and energy
becomes wasted without ever being converted into a product of value. This
happens at all four vertices of the space-tetrahedron in the individual
vertex, the corporate vertex, the world vertex, and the universe vertex.
Numerous attempts have been made to discover the Neo-Tech law of
productivity operating at every vertex of business or the space-tetrahedron
-- the law of minimizing the interferences of energy in the organization of
business. Productive individuals from time to time get a glimpse of the law
at a personal level at their individual vertices. Productive CEOs from time
to time come to realize the law at their personal and corporate levels -- at
their individual and corporate vertices. Super productive industrial giants,
such as Jay Gould and Henry Ford, from time to time discover the law at a
personal, corporate, and world level -- at individual, corporate, and world
vertices. Creative scientists, such as Newton and Einstein, from time to
time identify the law at a universe level -- at their universe vertices (in the
form of the laws of physics or the natural economics of the universe).
However, no system of knowledge or field of science has ever fathomed
and comprehensively identified the law of productivity at all four vertices
of business space-tetrahedron. Business is the highest expression of
consciousness and the most integrated form of technology through which
the integrity of the universe is forever maintained -- through which
conscious beings transform nature into values and control the eternal
destiny of the cosmos. Before Neo-Tech and Neothink, no one understood
the cosmic significance of business and, consequently, no one was able to
unleash the power of business to its fullest, for no one knew what
consciousness is and what relationship it has to/with the rest of the
universe. And now, the Neo-Tech knowledge takes every man and woman
to the summit of consciousness -- business integration; and Neothink lets
every business unleash its immense power to the fullest and transforms the
entire universe into THE UNIVERSE, INC.
Business is the integrated circuit of consciousness designed to produce
values -- to transform nature's technology (the physical universe) into
values. The physical universe is the aggregate of energy configurations in
existence. Every configuration of energy is a unique energy-pattern with its
own set of separately unique frequencies. For instance, each chemical
element is uniquely identifiable in the electromagnetic spectrum by its own
set of unique frequencies. None of the 92 chemical elements thus far
discovered in nature is the same as any of the others in its individual set of
frequencies. Now, as the physical universe consists of 92 indivisible
chemical elements, the whole mechanics of business can be seen as an
interactive combination of unique sets of indivisible physical movements.
That is, the entire process of business can be divided into unique sets of
indivisible physical movements. (Physical movements of business were first
identified by Mark Hamilton in his "Neo-Tech Control.")
A phone call as a physical movement is a unique and indivisible physical
movement regardless of for whom it is intended and to what project it
belongs. Similarly, letter writing, copy writing, accounting, and meeting
participation can all be seen as unique, indivisible physical movements. By
dividing the process of business into its fundamental physical units -- sets
of indivisible physical movements -- the interferences of energy in business
can be greatly reduced and, as a result, the availability and the
concentration of energy can he immensely increased. This is the first
principle of the Neo-Tech law of productivity: Divide the process of
business into its fundamental units or sets of indivisible physical movements
-- The Principle of Division This principle applies to all four vertices of the
business space-tetrahedron (see "Neo-Tech Control" by Mark Hamilton, I
& 0 Publishing).
Having divided the process of business into its fundamental units of
physical movements, in order to produce a maximum effect, these units
must be combined, within the flow of time, into an integrated whole. In
nature, two hydrogen atoms combined with one oxygen atom produce one
water molecule (2H + o = H2o). The nature or behavior of the final
product (a water molecule) is totally unpredictable from the natures or
behaviors of its components (hydrogen and oxygen atoms) taken separately
(the principle of synergy). In metallurgy, a combination of iron, chromium,
nickel, and other minor elements (carbon, manganese, and others) produces
an alloy -- chrome-nickel-steel. The tensile strength of iron is about 60,000
pounds per square inch (p.s.i.), of chromium about 70,000 p.s.i., of nickel
about 80,000 p.s.i., and of other minor constituents put together about
50,000 p.s.i. However, the tensile strength of chrome-nickel-steel, which is
about 350,000 p.s.i., far exceeds the average tensile strength of all the
constituents combined (about 65,000 p.s.i.). This is another example of the
synergetic phenomenon.
Similarly, in combining all the sets of unique physical movements, the effect
or the outcome of integrating the fundamental units is synergetic and
totally unpredictable from the separate effect of each set of physical
movements. However, through experience, one can find the most effective
or powerful combination/integration that produces the greatest result in
his/her work or business. The designed structure of the most effective
combination is termed the control structure of business. Furthermore, each
day of one's work or each division/function of a company is a uniquely
indivisible unit of physical movements, and the control structure should be
applied to one's long-range career or a company's wide-range business
integration. This is the second principle of the Neo-Tech law of
productivity: Integrate the units of physical movements to produce
maximum synergetic effects or results through a control structure -- The
Principle of Synergetic Integration. This principle applies to all four
vertices of the business space-tetrahedron.
The third principle of the Neo-Tech law of productivity is concerned with
the integration of the future with the totality of the present and the past,
and requires Neothink. The success of a business is always dependent upon
the creation of new values, and the creation of new values is dependent
upon one's ability to see what is not. For example, Henry Ford saw early in
his life that automobiles were not in use as a means of transportation in the
world. The means of transportation was the horse. What was not was an
affordable automobile that would replace a horse forever. Henry Ford,
through his Neothink ingenuity, convened what was not into what was. His
division of labor/assembly line concept was another example of his
Neothink ingenuity. Frank R. Wallace realized that there was no science or
technology for identifying neocheaters and their secret weapons. The
product of his Neothink applications was Neo-Tech.
The future of every business depends upon one's ability to create the future
-- the ability to see what is not. And that ability is Neothink. After
integrating the entire physical process of business through the control
structure, one must look into the future and integrate it with the present
business-movement to create new values by converting what is not into
what is. The conversion of what is not into what is requires an enormously
vast integration of knowledge and an effective application of Neothink. The
presence of mysticism within a business severely limits its ability to create
and integrate the future. Where there is mysticism, there is no integrated
business, no effective value production, and no Neothink. The third
principle of the Neo-Tech law of productivity, therefore, is: The Principle
of Future-Integration. This principle applies to all four vertices of the
business space-tetrahedron.
The fourth principle of the Neo-Tech law of productivity is: The Principle
of Contextual Integration. As mentioned in previous chapters, Neothink
integrates not only the future with the present and the past but also the
unknown with all the known. Neothink is the contextuality-centered
modality of consciousness in which the considerations of the whole
system/context precede the considerations of its subsystems/subcontexts.
The fourth principle of the Neo-Tech law of productivity -- the Principle of
Contextual Integration means that business, in order to maximize the
quality and quantity of value production, must begin with a consideration
of the whole business context before considering its component-parts. The
largest whole context in existence is the universe physically, and
consciousness metaphysically. That is why it is imperative to capture the
universe conceptually and comprehend the inner mechanics of
consciousness. Before Neo-Tech/Neothink, no one was ever able to fully
grasp the nature of the universe and understand consciousness. And that is
the very reason why no business could ever achieve the ultimate in business
integration and productivity. With Neo-Tech/Neothink, business will soar
to new heights of integration and productivity.
In a business context, all four vertices of the space-tetrahedron are
integrated with the law of productivity and the energy-interference in
business is brought, in essence, to zero, the time-tetrahedron becomes
interlocked with the space-tetrahedron and the universe emerges as THE
UNIVERSE, INC. Business becomes the whole energy-configurations of
the entire universe, and consciousness begins to control the eternal destiny
of the cosmos. Neo-Tech/Neothink integration of consciousness will then
dominate the course of the cosmos, and nature's technology -- the physical
universe -- will be transformed into the technology of conscious beings.
The Neo-Tech Revolution in essence is the emergence of THE
UNIVERSE, INC. with Neothink as the highest integration of the business
mind. With the rise of Neo-Tech in the world, business will flourish in its
full glory. The center of scientific/technological
research/development/revolution will shift from the academe into the
business community. In fact, the academe will be absorbed into the
business community, becoming a part of the Neo-Tech/Neothink
integration of business. In the future Neo-Tech/Neothink universe, no one
will be able to survive successfully without the business integration of Neo-
Tech and the business application of Neothink, and without being a fully
integrated producer of increasingly higher values.
Great days are coming, and a great eternity is commencing for those who
choose life over death, honesty over dishonesty, effort over laziness --
Neo-Tech over mysticism and neocheating. But for those who choose
death over life, dishonesty over honesty, laziness over effort mysticism and
neocheating over Neo-Tech, their days are numbered. For those who strive
for honesty, knowledge, prosperity, and happiness while producing ever
higher values for others, the possibilities are infinite. The whole universe
awaits the transformation into values. For those who strive for nothing
while usurping and extracting ever more values from others, no possibility
is left but death and the universe turns into emptiness, void -- the barren
nothingness of the existentialist. No one can escape the powerful wave of
the Neo-Tech Revolution/Evolution unchanged. One will either perish into
darkness by choosing to remain a mystic or neocheater, or by choosing
Neo-Tech/Neothink to become a true producer of values, evolve into a
shining sun of consciousness around which the whole universe revolves.
There is a choice -- a choice between life and death, between Neo-
Tech/Neothink and mysticism/neocheating -- between the ultimate value
and the ultimate disvalue...the choice that every conscious being must now
make.
EPILOGUE
Three and a half million years have passed since humanity first appeared on
this planet, and 3000 years since the dawn of conscious life. Over the
millennia, humanity has acquired an enormous amount of knowledge and
produced a universe of values. It is totally beyond our imagination how
much advancement in knowledge we may make and how much more value
we may produce in 3000 years or three and a half million years from today.
It is utterly awe-inspiring to think about what knowledge, what technology,
what power we will have to control the destiny of our universe in 3000 or
three and a half million years. As the geocentric concept or even the
heliocentric system now appears to us as primitive and moribund, our
present knowledge and technology will appear totally primitive and
obsolete to the humanity of those distant futures. However, that future
humanity could be us Neo-Tech men and women -- today living on the
beautiful planet we call the Earth.
Three and a half million years from now, we will still remember the time
when the Neo-Tech Revolution began. We will recall the time before the
Revolution when people still had to submit to neocheaters and die.
We will then remember the time when the mystics and neocheaters around
the world finally surrendered to the power of the Neo-Tech wave, and the
time when humanity achieved its first commercial biological immortality.
We will know then that the source which made the Revolution possible still
remains the source, the entire source, of our knowledge and journey into
the unknown, forevermore. We will say to ourselves...
"Still in our hands are the copies of a manuscript that made it all possible.
It still stands at the pinnacle of our knowledge. After these three and a half
million years, after we have long achieved the speed-of-light acceleration of
human knowledge, it still remains the primordial essence of our knowledge.
Therefore, we keep this manuscript in token of what we have accomplished
ever since and what we can achieve henceforth. We keep this manuscript in
celebration of our forever-growing happiness and prosperity, and of our
eternal life at the center of the universe -- in the office of THE
UNIVERSE, INC. The name of this manuscript is NEO-TECH -- THE
PRIMORDIAL ESSENCE OF ALL KNOWLEDGE AND POWER."

I think you are mistaken. Over time, "Satan" comes from Middle

He can't. Neo-Tech says its bad, so it must be. Neo-Tech says that if
it weren't for Christianity we would have been on the moon by 90 A.D.
Neo-Tech says that mysticism is the disease that causes death, and
by dumping mysticism as well as the "God" concept our bodies will
naturally live forever. Neo-Tech says that if it wasn't for Christianity
we would have figured out Biological Immortality by 120 A.D. and
that in that first century we would have all the technological
advances of today + more. Neo-Tech says we are all Zon's or God's and
can control our existence through our consciousness, and we can eventually
control all the universe through our consciousness. Neo-Tech is
our hero.

What Does Pipping Mean?
Pipping involves attacking values by isolating out-of-context
fragments of the achievements produced by others or their
businesses. Pipping means building one's ego by manipulating words
rather than by producing genuine values. Pipping is done to make
oneself appear superior to and more moral than the achievements or
businesses being attacked.
Pips reject any response that places their distorted fragments
back into context. Pips refuse to look into understanding the
accurate, full context of the values they are attacking. Pips are
not interested in accurate answers, explanations, or learning.
Pips are only interested in the level of ego enhancement they can
conjure up through spurious attacks. Thus, once pipping is
detected, all communication or argument is worthless and should
cease so no more irreplaceable time is wasted. A principled
template such as this becomes an effective response. The attacking
pip will then stand alone, recognized as someone seeking unearned
importance. Hence, malicious self-proclaiming "victims" and
attack-mode pips will first vanish from cyberspace and then from
the world. ...Justice will be served. The world will prosper.
Throughout history, before cyberspace, civilization-benefiting
giants and their work were constantly attacked and sometimes
destroyed by self-proclaimed "victims" and attack-mode pips. By
contrast, sincere questions and valid criticisms naturally occur
concerning radical new values. An important example is Objectivist
philosophy with its live-action applications of Neo-Tech and
Zonpower. Such valuable questions and criticisms deserve patient,
respectful responses that are mutually beneficial. But, when
ego-pumping pipping is detected, further communication not only
wastes irreplaceable time of the respondent, but feeds that pip's
ego, allowing him or her to continue wasting everyone else's time.
...Simply template such pips in order to vanish them.

I am sorry to say this, but I have to call you a [CENSORED] narrowminded,
[CENSORED] liar. Yes. LIAR.
According to a Biblical dictionary that I have, Satan comes from
"Sat=E1n" in Hebrew.
It has similar meaning to the word "Di=E1bolos" (from which the
English word "Devil" is derived) in Greek, where it means
slanderer, accusor. In Job 1 and 2, the word is used as a mark
for the angel that asked God to try Job. It is used in this sense
in until 1 Chronicles(?) 21:1, where it is used the *first* *time*
as a name (the greek translation uses "Di=E1bolos" from there on).
So. "Sat=E1n" is not a Christan invention. More likely, it is older
than that. However, the concept of a Devil and a Hell seems to be somewhat
more visible in Christianity, but they are not used to control the flock
to the extent that you seem to believe. And, I think that the concept of
hell is apparent before Jesus as well, though not as apparent
as in Christianity (Could someone please check this out).
So you are lying. Very clearly.
Furthermore, Christianity as such did not really exist in 7AD. It was
more like after the death of Jesus 30-33AD when Christianity really
got going. So here you are lying again. Clearly.
It is apparent that either you, or the creator of the works you follow,
has had bad experience with Christianity. And has/have forgotten some
thing important:
DO NOT JUDGE GOD BY THE ACTIONS OF HUMANS.
If you got to bash Christianity, please do a better work, and back
you accusations up. If not for what you perceive as morality, at
least do it to make us Christians jog our braincells, and the fingers
and eyes we use to look up things in the Bible. This one was boring
and excessively simple. It took 10 minutes for me to crack this lie
wide open. And I didn't even had to open my bible for verifiying what
you said, only to verify what the dictionary said.
Puuu-leeez.

Teodor.

I have little knowledge of your religion, and
I cannot speak for NTP, but I was suprised when
I saw these statements, given what I know about
Neo-Tech. Of course Neo-Tech dismisses religions
such as yours as a waste of time, silly and
harmful to an individual's self-responsibility.
Another similarity I find between Neo-Tech and
Satanism: both are easily misunderstood initially
based on outward appearances and heresay...

Don't tell me that some PERSON designed the intricate beings we are, not
BILLIONS of years of evolution. Look at the amazing things that natural
processes have produced, given time. The idea of a puny person doing
that is incredibly egotistical. Face the truth already.

Again,my dear little christling,you've proved your ignorance to all
reading this.Most non-christian religios pantheons (discluuding
Judaism/kookaism, which is actually pre-insanit,er..pre-christianity)
were polytheistic...in other words they did NOT belive some "ONE" did
this (this being the creation of the earth,et al) they belived "MANY"
did this.They,while thmeselves being myths and fables,existed long
before christianity ever did.Hell,Europe was pagan until your LOVING
AND CARING soilders came over and buthered and killed for the love of
the worm,uh,christ I mean.

Well if Satanism went by another name...hmmm...let's see like Neo-Tech,
then people wouldn't be so quick to assume that it's evil.
Come on dupies, you don't really think that your religion can overthrow
one that has 2000 years experience do you?

Yea, yea... We can all see how obviously selfless you are. I'm serious. Only
a selfless person could exist through tearing down rather than building

Remember that next time you need to keep it up to satify your woman.
Remember how selfless you are. Remember how tearing down values rather than

No shit. My sentiments exactly. So it makes me wonder why you support

Yeah Wallace!! REMEMBER THAT!
Neo-Tech says it is so, therefore it is so! GOT IT?
Seriously though, how much of a cut are you getting from the NTP
sales Nicky?
On that note, don't you think it's kinda selfless of Wally to

No kidding! You're demonstrating a serious lack of knowledge about what
Levey's Satanism actually is. It's more of a Philosophy coached in
religious terms (gee, sounds familiar) than a religion per se. "Satan" is
used as a metaphor for the Id. It's a nice metaphor for garnering a lot
of publicity, along with sucking in the mystics and pissing off the other
side. You guys have a lot in common.

Umm, the earth isnt billions of years old.
Ask any scientist that isnt funded by the government.
Ask any scientist that isnt funded by the government about the ozone

O.K. follow my reasoning here. Every animal eats. Every animal defecates
(or excretes). Now, of what I eat a certain amount is waste and must be
disposed of.
I as a human was either created by God as a totally inefficient lifeform.
Or I evolved over billions of years from a basic design that survived a
hostile environment.
If god is the master builder then he was more artist than artisan.
Shit that was a good line. I might add that to my sig.

I have recently read through the bible (Holy Bible International Version)
using what I know as facts to compare the information to and this is just
a few of the items I have found!
Revelations 22:18
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If
anyone adds anything to them, god will add to him the plagues described in
this book.
Revelations 22:19
If anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy: god will take away
from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city which are
described in this book.
Isn't "interpretation" the adding or deleting of words for clarification?
I have heard sermons and sat in at mass and that is exactly wht they were
doing....Interpreting! So those who make a living "interpreting the
bible.......priests, rabbis, preachers, etc......aren't they breaking
their own "rule"?
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning god created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:5
God called the light day and the darkness he called night and the was
evening and there was morning - the first day.
Excuse you.......how can there be light when this so-called "god" didn't
even "create" the sources of light until the fifth day!
Genesis 1:13
And there was evening and there was morning - the third day.
Gensis 1:16
God made two great lights - the greater light to govern the day and the
lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
Excuse you again......hasn't science discovered meteors (hard fragments
from space) on earth that are carbon-dated to be "older" than the earth?
How can this be when the so -called "god" did not "create" the stars and
the moon or sun until 2 days "after" he "created" the earth!
Gensis 1:20 - 31
<summarized> God created animals and man on the fifth day.
Last chance for another excuse: Science has already unearthed dinosaur
bones and have determined they roamed the earth long before any
mammal.........Adam -the first man reported in the bible- lived less than
a thousand years and he was to have been "created" on the fifth day? Was
this before or after the dinosaurs? Please!
That whole book is nonense straight from beginning to end and people have
actually made a religion out of it? What does that say about the people
who believe everything written in the bible? If they can believe
that.....man have I got a story for them!

Interpretation is the translation of concepts, to understand them. To
take away or add to the prophecy is to EDIT OUT PORTIONS or to FALSIFY
INFORMATION. They are not the same thing as interpretation.

No. They are translating to the extent that they do not deny the message
by EDITING or CUTTING or by ADDING material tht was not in the original,
as long as the original is presented as faithfully as possible.

The light is spritual light, the source of all things from within and
without which there is nothing. The night is the absence of the light,
which is the ying and yang of the material world, without which there is
no existence. This is represented by the day and night.

I am amazed by how many people are incapable of seperating allegory from
literal facts, and then use these arguements to condemn something which
they obviously do not understand.

Dear Peggy,
To understand the Bible, you must first see clearly that it is a mixture
of various forms, from allegorical stories handed down over the
generations, to songs, to prophecies, and all mixed together with
historical fact. The Bible was never meant to be a simple "read", but to
glean the underlying truths, you must first free your mind from rational
constraints and let it speak to you.
The message is in the "spirit" of God that speaks from within the words,
and not in the thoughts of mankind.
Regards,
Gary
P.S. The book of Genesis is said by some to have been taken from the
teachings of Egyptian Priests who passed on their knowledge to Moses.
Some on the alt.nostradamus.prophecies newsgroup might even believe that
these stories were handed to the Egyptians many thousands of years ago by
the survivors of Atlantis, including the story of Noah and the Ark.

It is most interesting to note how so much of Christian thought is
tied in with "get-rich-quick" scams.
Christianity is a highly materialistic and greedy group of religions.
If you don't think so, why did they push to have "In God we Trust" put
on our money?

Gary, I would agree if that is what your bible stated. It is not. Do you
or do you not add WORDS or delete WORDS when you translate to understand?
In Revelations the quoted portion is as it is stated. Period. There can
be no translation. It is either understood or it is not. Period. It is
either quoted or it is CHANGED. Period. Why the need for translation
other than from one language to the next?
BTW Translation n: Act of translating; removal; act of turning into
another language; interpretation; a version.
My original argument stands. Are the ones who make a living by
interpreting not breaking your bibles own rules? When you EXPLAIN do you
or do you not ADD words for meaning or use DIFFERENT (thus deleting words)
words for clarification?
>No. They are translating to the extent that they do not deny the message

As possible? No, Gary that is NOT what it says! Read your own bible
again and tell me that it does not say what it says and I will call you a
liar because I have written proof that it does say what it says.

Are you saying that existence is dependent on the night? I must disagree
with you. This is not a valid argument because it is void of fact.
Existence simply exists. To say otherwise you would be saying that
existence does not exist.

I have not "condemned" this bible of yours I am only putting it into
proper perspective. What I have been told by the many people who have
turned this book into a religion is that there are no facts to support any
of it. You must just have "faith" or just believe without questions. Do
you enjoy your computer that you have used to reply to me? Questions were
asked and solved....that is how the computer was made. Do you enjoy the
car that you drive or the bicycle you ride? Again, questions were asked
and they were solved to bring those items into production. How do you
determine right from wrong unless you ask questions: "Is this good for me
or is this bad for me?" Your bible is a wonderful story, don't get me
wrong! So is Stephen King's novels. Yet I wouldn't have "faith" in any
of them because they do not represent facts that can be challenged.
Science did not set out to challenge anything in the bible yet that is
exactly what we have now. Basically it is my opinion that the bible is
nothing more or less than a story about morals. Even morals must contain
reason. Meeting the requirements for continually expanding the well-being
of conscious beings are the only objective morals throughout the universe.
That basically says it all....it needs no translation and I did not use
parables.

Let them "speak" to me? Sorry but how would a book speak to me without a
mouth to utter the words, without a brain to form the words? Free my mind

I may "hallucinate" so that I may "hear" a "voice" speaking to me? BTW,
Do you know what happens to a rumor when you tell one person who then
tells another and so on through 50 people until it gets back to you?
Changes occur that distort the facts of the original statement. That my
friend is what your bible is all about? Distortion of facts? Prosecuting
and defense attorneys do that all the time. Criminals do that all the
time. The government does it all the time. I do not do that! A fact is
a fact and you can challenge it if you want to and it will remain a fact!
The bible stories are not facts and have gone through changes throughout
history (ownership of women, witch burning, the Spanish inquistion, etc.)
Why don't a few of you get together and rewrite it so it makes sense?
Wait a minute.....Someone already has. I believe his pen name is Frank R.

If it is not in the thoughts of mankind......how can you possible

constant confusion going so mankind will rely on a ruler like the pope or

Religion, you don't have to believe this (that's the best part you don't
need faith for this one) was created by man and in his own image he
created a god outside of himself. It was difficult for the masses to
"just have faith" in only one god. Man then put this into words because
words represent what can be seen and can be believed. The masses
believing the words were now under the control and will do whatever this
"god" tells them to do even if this "god" tells them to kill in order to
"spread" the word. The masses will give up their daughters and their sons
in the name of this god. The masses will sacrifice themself in the name
of this god. Then Man brought this god into politics and thus controlled
everything for the masses. History was written by man for man. The
constitution was written by man for man. The bible was also written by
man for man. Our own laws were written by man for man. All can sway the
masses depending on what view is presented and then how it is translated
to them.

No. The whole concept of satanism has its foundation in the original
belief of a god therefore the belief in his fallen angle Lucifer! We
blieve in no god therefore we believe in no satan!

Neo-Tech is not a religion nor subject to worshippers or followers.
Anyways the bible pushers are losing credibility quickly. They can't make
excuses fast enough for the facts we have today that contradict what is
written in their "book of god" that came out before technology.

Meanings are universal words, which may be translated into many different forms of
speech. In the Bible, speaking in tongues allowed the teachings to reach many people
of different languages simulataneously. This is because the human mind is divided
into many "programs", some which classify sounds, and others which convert the sounds
into meanings. To interpret something into another language, in other words, into
other symbols that represent the same meaning, is not to change what is being
communicated.

Is the original faithful to it's purpose? Does it translate to the original meaning?
If so, then nothing is added or taken away. The symbols are not the content, only the
carrier. If your computer receives corrupted files, and it is able to reconstruct
them by using error correction, has it added to or taken away from the original?

Without yin, and yang, nothing can exist. It is the nature of opposing forces kept in
balance. Without opposing forces, the universe itself collapses. Day and night are
basic universal symbols of the balance and cyclic nature of reality. It is the sine
wave. The sine wave is a fundamental concept of science and math.

True faith is not born from a belief in facts, but arises from the spirit, which is
beyond conceptual reality. Therefore, it cannot be presented to you in the manner in
which you are seeking it. Beyond mere morals is a greater purpose that is outside of
the limits of human thought. Would you expect an ant to understand the true purpose
of the space shuttle? Some things are beyond the limits of the human mind, and must
be conveyed by other methods.

Again, what I am saying is that the messge is beyond conceptual terms and exists
independent of the words, which are carriers of the true message. Think of your
computer, and the sound the modem makes as it sends data across the world. What you
are trying to do with the Bible is like listening to the sound of the modem and
expecting to see a Web Page.

You are confusing organized religion and theology with the message of the Spirit,
which is not the same thing. Human beings will have human laws and human failings,
because that is the nature of being human. One thing you can be fairly certain of -
you were born, and you will die. Before you existed, there was a world, and after you
pass there will still be one. We are like dust, formed briefly into a complex group
of processes, that entropy will eventually break down into nothingness, returning us
to where you came from. What we know now to be true you will be held briefly, we will
come to face the unknown at death, and beyond that is the unknowable.

Many wrote the works contained in the Bible, to witness what they had seen and heard,
to share the Spirit as best they could.

That explains why the Bible, when taken literally, contradicts science.
So what's your excuse?
How do you explain Neo-Tech/ZonPower's contradictions with science?
Why won't Wallace Ward submit his ideas to peer reviewed journals? If
Neo-Tech is so bloody scientific and rational why does Wally hide out in
Vegas and avoid any serious tests of his theories?
No NTer has ever answered those questions adequately.
And before any moron chimes in, NO it does not make more sense to
promote your ideas by direct mail than it does to gain scientific
respectability by conducting serious experiments.
If you could prove the existence of the luminiferous ether or the
THINKON in supervised, repeatable experiments you would become world

That would be A point if everyone took out some of the words like you.
Perhaps I am alone in this.......I understood it to mean that humans ARE
gods and in no need of an external god. As far as resurrected into the
Civilization of the Universe? Don't know what was on their mind when they
wrote that ......I take it to mean the energy that makes our bodies live
has to go somewhere when we kick off .....Why not there?

My excuse for what? I don't need an excuse. I do as I do because that is
how I WANT to do. I take the NT stuff literally as well and there are
things in there that I have a problem with compared to what I already
know.......Those may be the some of the things you have a problem with as
well.......Over all the NT book I have has some pretty damn good
information in it.
> How do you explain Neo-Tech/ZonPower's contradictions with science?
Just a theory. Nothing more...nothing less. In a way it appears that the
scientific theories were put in to give answers of the unexplainable.
Science will catch up and either prove it wrong or prove it right. I'll
believe those theories when they become facts. Same thing with the bible.
Just a theory (written a very long time ago!) that today has been proved
to be full of contradictions. More so than NT books. Someone once had a
theory that the world was round. Another person had a theory that the sun
and stars revolved around the earth. One was proved right the other was
proved wrong.
> Why won't Wallace Ward submit his ideas to peer reviewed journals?
Probably because he doesn't give a damn what his so-called "peers" have to
say as a collective. Have you ever read some of the critics in those
journals? The are biased with the opinions of the group......"god help
them if they agree with an unpopular idea!" Why didn't Einstein submit
his stuff in those journals? I'm sure the Japanese who read the critics
would have really believed a tiny equation would reak havoc on their
country! No...I am not comparing Ward to Einstein!

and none will. I am not a follower of any kind so I can't help you out
there. Most of the scientific mumbo jumbo in the book went way over my
head anyways. I am not a scientist nor will I be one in this century. My
only reason for reading and keeping the NT stuff I recieved was because I
did receive a value from it. It wiped out the idea that I was the only
weird one on this planet and I believe I am correct with most of what goes
through my mind. The advantages things are what I paid close attention to
and I am able to see the things I read in other people which does keep me
ahead in the game.............and yes, I believe life is a game and its a
fun one too! There are just some people who want to take the fun out of
it, the religious quacks and government quacks are two that come to mind

Yeah, right! And if he wrote a book and sold millions of copies he would
become famous too! Apparently he already is famous (although a few may
think he is infamous) so you'll need a new one. Scientific "fame"
apparently (for whatever reason) isn't appealing to him.

Never bothered you to evade questions before. Besides I answered
her question. She asked what "NT'rs" think and I told her that
they don't because they are programmed to respond with NT
jargon, and NOT think. Sheesh, can't you understand anything? :-)

He has done this often. Perhaps this is why I started the

Life is a great big fun adventure, and believe me when I say I have
had the ups and downs. All in all though I think it's one great big
learning adventure. NT is a buncha lies, and can't fool everyone
with it's sophisticated brain wash victim language!

There is no "answer" that'a why you keep learning. NT may encourage you
to learn, but it tells you what to learn, what books to read, and how
to think.

You can't, although I don't doubt that you would like to. What are you and
your NT'rs going to do? Send e-mails to my webmaster complaining that I
am making fun of NT and exposing the lies and gullibilities of it's followers?
Now that would show me wouldn't it?

Anyone invested deeply in irrationality is going to remain so until
they make a self-directed change. No amount of reasoning or
explaination by others will help them. For instance, convincing
Christians there's no God is a dead end road. The more logical
approach is simply outcompete them.
If the attackers of NT really think its bogus, why don't they realize
that irrational people won't change? Do they think that NTers are
more rational than Christians? Or are they just out to amuse
themselves?

O.K. I'm going to get down to the nuts and bolts of this existence.
#1: Everything you know and experience is a function of processes which I refer to as
"biological programs". Your DNA carries the design of your physical being. There is
a mental conceptual DNA that carries your mental programming.
#2: Human mental programming is designed to recognize only "human" attributes in the
universe. Elements outside of the human programming language cannot be integrated
directly into human experience. Furthermore, the human program is viewed as
"spiritually flawed", and as such it is incapable of integrating accurately with the
external universe. (In terms of religion this is known as original sin)
#3: There are elements of the universe which our "human programming" cannot integrate
into our normal biological perceptions of the universe around us. However, these
elements are real, and as such must be dealt with by our "true" nature, that is the
totality of our existence both within and outside of our human program. The way we
experience and integrate these phenomena in the "normal" functioning individual is
during the dreaming process. When elements of the unconscious can no longer deal with
the processing of these elements, we experience a "paranormal" event. In essence,
this is the eruption of "information" that must be processed and can no longer be held
at the level below conscious existence.
#4: There are good reasons to believe that the universe is filled with intelligence,
of many forms and designs. Some of these forms of intelligence are outside the
ability of human programming to experience directly, and can only be integrated by
some form of "paranormal" event.
Now we are getting into an area that runs the risk of both spiritual experience and
developement and the danger of madness, insanity and other dangerous paranormal
phenomena.
Faith becomes the avenue for greater spiritual awareness, because it sends a message
to the unconscious mind (human programs running in the background) that the conscious
self is ready and willing to accept information from outside of the sphere of normal
physical experience. The path of faith that leads to spiritual increase is a path of
forced discipline and self examination. It is a path that recognizes flaws and
limitations, and a path that affirms harmony and peace both within and without.
The other path that is truely dangerous is the path of self gratification, a self
destructive path that can become monstrous when it is fueled by the paranormal
experience. This is the path of control, and power, and leads to loss of self, as the
self is transformed into a new program that is at the mercy of the forces that remain
unseen. This is the path of sorcery. At the edge of this path is the abyss, in which
one faces the total power of the universe, which no individual can accept without
absolute destruction. This is the path of the beings known as the "dark forces" or
the "dark angels", the forces that have become trapped by their own quest for power.
When the great religions speak of the loss of soul, it is this self destruction that
they refer to.
Now I am getting mystical and that is not my intention.
Before you make judgements on the concepts of faith, and spiritual existence,
re-examine your beliefs concerning them. As in all of human experience, everything is
colored by the program in which it is viewed. Those who have experienced the power of
faith can only desribe it to you. Until you are ready to experience it first hand, it
can only be a tale and not a reality.

Joey. You hide your email address like a coward, while you continue to
crosspost off topic.
Will someone please email me his sysadmin's address!
To Joey. Stop this anonymous crossposting or else!
Your followup crossposted to alt.mindcontrol, hopefully by mistake.
This group is for mindcontrol victims and those who want to help them
and understand mindcontrol.
Mindcontrol means brainwashing, torture, forced drugs, etc.
This group is getting over 90% of these off topic crosposts and is all most
useless until we get the number way down.
You probably replied to another post using a follow up command and
neglected to edit the first line which selects the newsgroups for reply
When you reply to a crossposted message, you assume the responsibility to edit
the off topic newsgroups from the Newsgroups: and Followup: lines.
The originator of the thread can not take the responsibility to stop
your off topic followup.
If you get this message more than once, it is my error, and I apologize.
Sorry. I have not found a way to keep track if I sent you this message
before, in response to another crosspost.
I am a few days behind reading news, so you may not have crossposted
resently.
Next time please reply by private email.
Please understand that this message is attempting to be polite.
I am not angry, just trying to make this newsgroup more usable.
When you answer my messages, please save bandwidth, and don't email my
text back to me, so I don't have to listen to it again.
If you believe that I ask too much effort by asking you to trim the Newsgroups:
line, you should try turning off your monitor, and sorting out the
relevant posts with speech, as I must.
Thanks.

Rubbish (stuff evanglizing NeoTech).
Why?
(1) All wars are "Holy" wars, how else do we justify our stupidity to
the young men and our children and ourselves late at night?
(2) As consistent as "reality" seems, it is still a subjective
experience, like a dream. (see (1))
(3) We believe in (aka, have faith in) ideas whether it is that there
is a living God or that there is not. We cannot proving anything (see
(2))
Love is how I choose to deal with you when you are bad and need
correction, when you are good and need to know it, and other times.
Love is intentional concerning and caring. I love a begger with a
quater and he loves me back with a thank you...sometimes I love him
with a nod and he loves me with a smile. Sometimes I can't be bothered
to deal with him and he loves me with acceptance or forgiveness or
patience.
Love is not an act, it is how you wish to theme your actions. God, who
is outside time, loves you.
