    About this ebook

    Are you a ghost or a machine? You don’t need to be a superstitious believer to support the side of the ghosts. In this book, we will show that the ghost side has two faces: Mythos and Logos. The Mythos version of ghosts is laughably silly ... just read the Torah, Bible or Koran to discover how preposterous and irrational it is. The Logos version, on the other hand, is the most rational position you can possibly arrive at, that of hyperrationality, expressed through pure, ontological, monadic mathematics.

    For people with a machine mentality (scientists and atheists), everything is about visible objects, and the denial of any invisible reality. For all religious and spiritual people, there’s more to existence than merely what appears to us. There are invisible things – such as souls – and invisible, mental forces, beyond the reach of any scientific experiment, but, crucially, not beyond the reach of reason, logic and mathematics.

    Machine people reduce everything to lifeless, mindless, purposeless atoms of matter: the ultimate little machines. For “ghost” people, reality reduces to dimensionless, mathematical singularities, which are none other than the hyperrational monadic souls posited by Pythagoras and Leibniz.

    Ghost people subscribe to atoms (minds) with atomic number zero, i.e. minds/souls are made of massless, dimensionless photons. Machine people start with hydrogen atoms, with atomic number one.

    All “ghost” entities are associated with zero and infinity. All machine people deny the existence of zero and infinity. Mathematically, these are the two numbers where the ghosts and the machines collide head on. For ghost people, everything begins with zero and infinity, the two numbers that destroy scientific materialism. For machine people, machines randomly magic themselves into existence from non-existence, for no reason and via no mechanism since this is the only way to avoid admitting that an eternal, rational, mathematical order of zero and infinity rules the universe.

    This book is all about demonstrating that there are indeed ghosts in the machines – something that science routinely laughs at – and, therefore, that science is completely wrong in all of its claims about ultimate reality. Science is false exactly because it ignores the invisible ghosts – minds/souls – that animate the universe. These “ghosts” aren’t ridiculous Mythos things of religious superstition. They are mathematical Logos entities. They are dimensionless, unextended, immaterial, autonomous Fourier frequency domains (singularities).

    Math, not religion, is what refutes science. Math is the ghost that haunts science. Math is what science has never understood, just as it has never understood mind. In fact, these two facts are one and the same: math is mind!

    All genuine intellectuals want to take down scientific materialism, to burst its bubble, to expose it as nothing but an elaborate heuristic fiction that’s utterly bankrupt as far as telling us anything about ultimate reality goes. Science is the Great Lie that must be overturned. It has replaced religion as the immense fraud that all intelligent human beings must resist and expose.

      The War of the Ghosts and Machines - Mike Hockney

      Introduction

      The concept of ghosts once drove human thinking. By ghosts, we mean all things spiritual and religious. Humans of old unquestioningly believed in unseen gods and devils, in invisible angels and demons. The most ancient humans considered that trees, lakes, mountains, volcanoes, the wind, the sea, the sky, and so on, all had presiding spirits or gods that had to be appeased to produce favourable outcomes. Failure to placate the gods courted disaster.

      Humans literally believed that invisible spiritual forces – ghost forces, so to speak – were in operation everywhere. In the past, explanations of reality were based on Mythos – on stories of spiritual beings and their spiritual actions invisibly controlling the human race. This was especially true in the case of the monotheistic God of the Jews, Christians and Muslims – the ultimate Mythos creation.

      Even in the present day, we can see the atavistic descendant of such ideas – i.e. that our fate is controlled by secret forces – in the notion of the sinister Illuminati. The Illuminati, according to popular mythology, are shape-shifting, pan-dimensional lizard aliens (!), serving as the unseen puppetmasters of our world.

      In the science fiction movie They Live by John Carpenter, a drifter puts on a special pair of sunglasses which reveal that many people amongst us are in fact aliens in human disguise who have taken over the Earth. They expertly conceal their true appearance and are busily engaged in manipulating the docile human masses with subliminal messages implanted in the mass media. Wikipedia says, After putting on a pair, [Nada, the drifter] sees the world in black and white and discovers it is not what it seems. Media and advertising hide constant subliminal totalitarian commands to obey and conform. Many in authority, many of the wealthy, are actually humanoid aliens with skull-like faces. In a grocery store, Nada confronts an alien woman, who then speaks into her wristwatch notifying her fellow aliens about him.

      An enormous number of human beings are attracted to elaborate conspiracy theories about unseen forces deciding our destiny. Such theories are never conducted scientifically, mathematically and philosophically (i.e. in Logos terms). They’re always about Mythos, about an incredibly complicated story with limitless beguiling ingredients. Traditional religions are of course of exactly the same kind. Modern conspiracy theories are just old religions with the names and cast of characters changed.

      *****

      The ghost mentality is expressed through religion, fiction and art. However, since Descartes, the founder of modern philosophy, the ghost has been increasingly banished from intellectual discourse. A new idea has arrived on the scene: that of the machine, the opposite of the ghost. According to this notion, there are no ghosts of any kind, and the universe is all about mindless, lifeless, meaningless, purposeless mechanisms that do nothing but obey the laws of science, which, classically, were deemed to be entirely deterministic, and are now deemed to be entirely indeterministic (statistical and probabilistic).

      Machine thinking gets rid of all ghosts, spirits, gods, devils, angels, demons, souls, and even the mind itself. The modern notion is that atoms are tiny machines, and, since everything is proposed to be made exclusively of atoms, everything must be a machine too. There’s no scope for anything other than material atomic machines.

      Humanity has gone from believing in invisible living ghosts to believing in visible dead machines. It’s no wonder humanity is so bewildered. What was yesterday taught as 100% true is today taught as 100% false.

      What is the Truth? Do we have any chance of discovering it given that the human mind has generated a 100% range, i.e. every conceivable diametrically opposed theory?

      It’s not a case of all human theories clustering around a common central core. Rather, the core for some people is the exact opposite of the core for others. There’s zero commonality. So radically opposed are their theories of existence, the proponents of each side might as well belong to different species, or even different planets.

      Abrahamists claim that the supreme Ghost (= God) created the universe. Materialistic atheists absolutely deny the existence of God. These are polar opposite claims about reality. The holder of one belief must conclude that the holder of the opposite opinion is insane ... 100% in error.

      We have labelled this extraordinary divergence in human thinking as the war between the ghosts and the machines. Everyone is on one side or the other. What side are you on?!

      You don’t need to be a superstitious believer to support the side of the ghosts. In this book, we will show that the ghost side has two faces: Mythos and Logos. The Mythos version of ghosts is laughably silly ... just read the Torah, Bible or Koran to discover how preposterous and irrational it is. The Logos version, on the other hand, is the most rational position you can possibly arrive at, that of hyperrationality, expressed through pure, ontological, monadic mathematics.

      We live in either a spiritual universe, or a universe entirely devoid of spirit. Which is it? Scientific materialism claims the latter, while scientific idealism claims the former. Reality, scientific materialists say, is all about lumps of inert stuff. Reality, scientific idealists say, is all about self-perfecting monadic souls. You can’t get two more divergent views.

      Illuminism is the stance that scientific idealism is ontological mathematics (reflecting rationalism), and that it fundamentally contradicts scientific materialism (reflecting empiricism). Illuminism says that the intellect is on the side of ghosts – unseen mathematical, mental forces – and that the senses are on the side of machines – visible things.

      Plato divided reality into the invisible, transcendental, intelligible domain of absolute truth, and the visible, sensible domain of belief and opinion. Plato’s realm of Forms is a ghost concept. The notion of the sensible universe as where the truth of existence resides is a machine concept.

      It was philosopher Gilbert Ryle who coined the provocative phrase ghost in the machine. The Pan Reference Dictionary of Philosophy says, "[This was a label introduced] to describe a thesis of Descartes to the effect that, while the human body may be regarded as an enormously subtle and complicated machine, it only becomes a person when it is joined by an incorporeal soul. Although for Descartes the official defining characteristic of soul is consciousness, when he comes in Part V of the Discourse on the Method to offer ‘two most certain tests’ of the presence of a soul within the bodily machine these seem to be tests only of rationality. Although the brutes (animals other than man) are supposed not to possess souls, Descartes seems never actually to have drawn the conclusion, so often held against him, that the brutes must be altogether insensible."

      In Descartes’ dualistic philosophy, we encounter the supreme intellectual collision between the ghost and machine ideologies. All subsequent philosophies came down on the side either of the ghost or the machine.

      German idealism was the vehicle through which the ghost philosophy gained its fullest, most rational expression. Anglo-American scientific materialism was the vehicle of machinism. Extremist materialists such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Stephen Hawking and Brian Cox all effectively define human beings in exactly the way Descartes defined brutes: as soulless machines. It’s inconceivable that any spiritual person could ever take the side of Dawkins, Harris, Dennett, Hawking or Cox. To do so would involve a fundamental breakdown in logic and reason.

      If you are any kind of spiritual person, you are on the side of the ghost rather than the machine. If you are a materialist, you are emphatically on the side of the machine, and you vehemently deny the existence of the ghost.

      You can’t be a bit spiritual and a bit materialistic. One position precludes the other. There’s no halfway house, no compromise. This is a ghost universe or a machine universe. There’s no Cartesian dualism: ghosts and machines can’t interact. They have nothing in common. Either ghosts are a fantasy, or machines are. Either what we regard as machines are special types of ghosts, or ghosts are produced by machine interactions.

      Ghosts (monadic minds) define everything, or machines (material atoms) define everything. Once you have chosen which side you are on, you cannot then go around favourably quoting those who hold the opposite stance. We do not say that Dawkins, Harris, Dennett, Hawking, Cox, and so on, are a bit wrong. We say that their claims concerning ultimate reality are 100% false and insane ... perhaps even worse than the claims of Abrahamists and Karmists. They simply couldn’t be any more wrong. By the same token, these people are 100% opposed to the existence of Pythagorean-Leibnizian mathematical monads.

      You must commit to one side or the other: spirit or matter; ghost or machine; the universe as a living, purposeful, teleological organism, or the universe as a dead, purposeless machine. This is a zero-sum game.

      Mathematically, the machine ideology flows from the exclusive belief in dimensional, extended mathematics based on positive real numbers, while the ghost ideology advocates the primacy of dimensionless, unextended mathematics based on zero and infinity.

      *****

      At one time human nature was split in two, an executive part called a god, and a follower part called a man. Neither part was consciously aware. – Julian Jaynes

      The god part is a ghost part; the man part is a machine part. The man part is studied by science, the god part by religion and spirituality (Mythos), and math (Logos).

      The Lost Wisdom?

      Many people imagine that the human race once had higher wisdom than it possesses now, that it was closer to fundamental reality. Is there any basis for such a notion? Surely today’s humanity has much more knowledge than ever before.

      The source of the notion that the ancients knew better than the moderns lies in a fundamental belief accepted deep down by most of humanity that ghost wisdom is superior to machine wisdom, and that we have lost the close contact we once had with the Ghost World.

      The human race is a dialectical species and its way of thinking has evolved radically over the years. You have failed to understand reality if you imagine that the brains of humans five thousand years ago were exactly like the brains they have now, and like those they will have five thousand years from now.

      Carl Jung talked about four mental functions arranged in two pairs, with each member of each pair standing opposed to its counterpart: thinking is opposed to feeling, and sensing is opposed to intuition. There are also two opposed attitudes: extraversion and introversion. The former looks outwards and is thus preoccupied with the external, while the latter looks inwards and is preoccupied with the internal.

      The human race was once overwhelmingly introverted, feeling and intuitive. This was perfect for supporting a ghost mentality. Let’s call this the thesis. In the last few hundred years, the intellectual agenda (dictated by the rise of scientific materialism) has been overwhelmingly extraverted, thinking and sensing. This goes hand-in-hand with a machine mentality. This is the antithesis. Both of these positions have led to bizarre and unfortunate consequences for the human race. What we need is a synthesis. The ultimate human being will be well-balanced in terms of extraversion and introversion, thinking and feeling, sensing and intuition. However, within that overall balance, there will be a vital need for some specialist groups that provide unique insight to the rest of humanity.

      The group that can best tell humanity about the true nature of reality is that of introverted thinking intuitives, reflecting a combination of old and new human thinking. This INT group (Introversion, iNtuition and Thinking) is attracted to mathematical, philosophical and metaphysical thinking, to reason, logic, and proof. The INTs are intellectually opposed by the dominant EST group (Extraversion, Sensing and Thinking). This latter group is attracted to scientific thinking, which is based on experience, observations, experiments, the senses, and evidence. There’s a perpetual intellectual war between rationalists (INTs) and empiricists (ESTs).

      If the ESTs do not think in the right way – i.e. in the way aligned with the truth of fundamental reality – then scientific materialism is disastrously leading us down the wrong path. If you yourself are an EST, it’s almost impossible for you to doubt scientific materialism. You are more or less hard-wired to believe the claims of science. The notion of ghosts is as inconceivable to you as the notion that Einstein’s principle of relativity is false. Ironically, it’s the ghostly Cosmic Mind – the unobservable Singularity at the heart of existence – that refutes Einstein. The whole of science is in fact falsified by the existence of ghosts, i.e. minds/souls.

      The Choice

      Are you a ghost or a machine? For people with a machine mentality (scientists and atheists), everything is about visible objects, and the denial of any invisible reality. For all religious and spiritual people, there’s more to existence than merely what appears to us. There are invisible things – such as souls – and invisible, mental forces, beyond the reach of any scientific experiment, but, crucially, not beyond the reach of reason, logic and mathematics.

      Machine people reduce everything to lifeless, mindless, purposeless atoms of matter: the ultimate little machines. For ghost people, reality reduces to dimensionless, mathematical singularities, which are none other than the hyperrational monadic souls posited by Pythagoras and Leibniz.

      Ghost people subscribe to atoms (minds) with atomic number zero, i.e. minds/souls are made of massless, dimensionless photons. Machine people start with hydrogen atoms, with atomic number one.

      All ghost entities are associated with zero and infinity. All machine people deny the existence of zero and infinity. Mathematically, these are the two numbers where the ghosts and the machines collide head on. For ghost people, everything begins with zero and infinity, the two numbers that destroy scientific materialism. For machine people, machines randomly magic themselves into existence from non-existence, for no reason and via no mechanism since this is the only way to avoid admitting that an eternal, rational, mathematical order of zero and infinity rules the universe.

      This book is all about demonstrating that there are indeed ghosts in the machines – something that science routinely laughs at – and, therefore, that science is completely wrong in all of its claims about ultimate reality. Science is false exactly because it ignores the invisible ghosts – minds/souls – that animate the universe. These ghosts aren’t ridiculous Mythos things of religious superstition. They are mathematical Logos entities. They are dimensionless, unextended, immaterial, autonomous Fourier frequency domains (singularities).

      Math, not religion, is what refutes science. Math is the ghost that haunts science. Math is what science has never understood, just as it has never understood mind. In fact, these two facts are one and the same: math is mind!

      No Reason

      There’s no valid reason why empiricist science should use rationalist mathematics. Empiricism opposes everything rationalism stands for. Science has no right to use math, but without math it would be useless. Why has no scientist ever contemplated the implications of that?!

      The Truth Revolver

      When you hear scientists referring to evidence, you should, as Hermann Goering once commented in a different context, reach for your revolver. Nietzsche destroyed the whole of science in one sentence when he said, There are no facts, only interpretations. All scientific facts are interpretations; all scientific evidence is interpretation. A scientist can’t tell you what time is ontologically, or space, mass, matter, energy, speed ... or anything. So, what does evidence mean in relation to totally undefined things?

      What scientists ought to say is, "We interpret ‘facts’ according to our scientific schema of reality, whose truth content we cannot establish. ‘Evidence’ is that which conforms to our model, our simulation, our simulacrum, of reality. If you reject our model, there’s no reason for you to accept our ‘evidence’. In our materialist model of reality, lifeless, mindless atoms, obeying the falsifiable laws of physics, determine our behaviour, and all of our ‘evidence’ assumes the truth of this model. No part of our model accommodates any evidence of mental agency, of a mind outside space and time that exercises free will. You, with your mental schema, might see clear evidence for mental agency. We, with our material schema, can’t even conceive of mental agency. So, we will never agree with you on what evidence is evidence of."

      That means that evidence is not evidence at all, but an ancillary of an unproven model or schema. It’s pure interpretation, opinion, belief and conjecture. It only constitutes evidence of the hypothesis through which the evidence is interpreted, i.e. the evidence is entirely circular. It’s as valid as its assumptions, and, in science, these assumptions are never analytically proved. In other words, evidence is belief, but belief isn’t evidence that any rational person would ever accept!

      Thomas Kuhn has eloquently shown that scientists’ preference for one paradigm over another is determined by a host of non-scientific, non-empirical factors. As noted earlier, David Bohm also points out that there is no scientific evidence that argues for the dominant fragmented scientific worldview over Bohm’s hypothesis of undivided wholeness. However, while scientific evidence offers no help in this regard, other forms of evidence may, indeed, shed some light on the matter. Mystical and spiritual teachings down through the ages have spoken about the fundamental interconnectedness of all things and that the microcosm somehow contains the macrocosm. – Will Keepin

      The Cosmic Rubik’s Cube

      The universe in itself is non-sensory, rational, and mathematical. It’s a living, self-optimising, self-solving, spiritual organism.

      The universe can be likened to a Rubik’s Cube. At the beginning of the universe, the cube is perfect. A symmetry breaking event then occurs, corresponding to the cube’s perfect arrangement of coloured faces being randomly scrambled. The universe subsequently attempts to solve itself, i.e. to return to its original, perfect configuration.

      Like an average person encountering the Rubik’s cube for the first time, the universe has no idea how to solve itself, so it simply tries endless brute force tactics and trial and error. It would take forever to arrive at a solution were it not for the fact that the universe is a living organism (not a machine) ... i.e. it can learn.

      Thanks to evolution, the unconscious universe eventually produces conscious minds, then hyper-conscious minds (belonging to the Gods). The Gods are the ones who work out exactly how to solve Rubik’s cube, hence to restore the universe to perfection. Everything else – whether it likes it or not – gets put in its perfect position by the actions of the Gods.

      You have two choices: 1) become one of the Gods that solve the puzzle of the universe, and make everything and everyone else submit to their divine will, or 2) be one of the helpless, confused pieces, waiting to be fitted into place.

      Do you want to find the answer to the cosmic Rubik’s cube, or be one of the parts of the cube being shuffled into place? Your decision.

      Can anyone seriously imagine that the mathematikoi – the Illuminati – will not one day know exactly how to render the universe perfect? You have a basic choice. Support us or oppose us.

      *****

      If you could somehow observe the universe from outside, you would see it going through all possible permutations necessary to solve the cosmic Rubik’s cube. You would see an immense mathematical, self-solving process. It would be all about the objective optimisation of rational Form. However, the view from the inside is radically different. The universe’s interior view concerns the subjective optimisation of empirical Content. The two processes are of course intimately linked because Content is the flip side of Form. There’s a one-to-one correspondence between Form and Content. When the universe is perfect in Form, it’s also perfect in Content. It’s divine.

      Where the exterior view of the universe resembles an immense, tectonic, mathematical process to establish the perfect mathematical configuration, the interior view resembles a dialectical battle of Content: of ideas, beliefs, opinions, hypotheses, sensations, intuitions, interpretations, often expressed through savage violence (and natural selection). The interior process looks anything but rational, but is in fact being rationally controlled by dialectical logic that delivers, in the end, Content perfection (to match Form perfection).

      The dialectic is the exact means by which a blind, unconscious process can come to consciousness, and then, having achieved that, come to a perfect rational understanding of reality. Beliefs such as animism, Abrahamism, Karmism, scientific materialism, and all the different philosophies, weren’t in fact arbitrary and accidental, they were inevitable. The dialectic produced all of them, and demanded all of them. Each succeeded because it reflected the dialectic, and otherwise it would have failed.

      Hegel said of Napoleon, I saw the Emperor – this world-spirit – riding out of the city to survey his realm. It is a truly wonderful sensation to see such an individual, who, concentrated here at a single pint, astride a horse, reaches out over the world and masters it. In Hegel’s system, Napoleon was at that moment the instrument of the dialectic, the dialectic embodied, driving forward the self-realization of the Spirit in history.

      Hegel said of the dialectic, Spirit is at war with itself; it has to overcome itself as its most formidable obstacle … What Spirit really strives for is the realization of its ideal being; but in doing so, it hides that goal from its own vision, and is proud and well satisfied in this alienation from it. Its expansion therefore does not present the harmless tranquillity of mere growth, as does that of organic life, but a stern reluctant working against itself. ... [Spirit] certainly makes war upon itself – consumes its own existence; but in this very destruction it works up that existence into a new form, and each successive phase becomes in its turn a material, working on which it exalts itself to a new grade.

      Instead of a Rubik’s cube, the ontological problem the universe is actually solving is that of returning all matter to mind ... turning all matter (broken light) back into pure light.

      In Jungian Terms, the True God is reintegrating his Shadow (the False God).

      In Gnostic terms, the True God is eradicating the material world created by the False God (= the Demiurge). It says in Abrahamism that the Abrahamic God created the world. That means that the Abrahamic God is none other than the Devil, and the task of the True God is to wipe out every trace of the Abrahamic Devil-God and his diabolical Creation.

      The True God’s primary strategy is a most simple one ... the expansion of the spacetime universe. By the laws of ontological Fourier mathematics, the expansion of the physical universe corresponds to the return of matter to Mind (the Cosmic Singularity).

      Correspondence

      Emanuel Swedenborg defined a correspondence as a basic relationship between two levels of existence. He claimed that the Word (the Bible) was composed by God entirely on the basis of correspondences, so, to understand the Bible, you are first required to understand the language of correspondence, without which you are lost. You are seeing through a glass, darkly. Everything is obscured.

      For Swedenborg, the Spiritual Plane has a correspondence with the Natural Plane, mind has a correspondence with body, intention has a correspondence with action, and the spiritual sense of the Word has a correspondence with the literal sense of the Word. Every fact about the World tells us something about its Creator. Everything said about man (the image of God) tells us something about God and his plans for man.

      "According to Swedenborg, angels speak to each other in correspondences and in the early days of the Golden Age people on this earth also could speak in correspondences so that they could communicate directly with the angels. They had a holy book, the Ancient Word, written in correspondences, which is still used in heaven. As the human race fell into evil the ability to understand correspondences was lost, as was most of the Ancient Word." – Wikipedia

      In fact, ontological mathematics is the language of existence. Precious few people have ever understood this language. Math, not the Ancient Word, is the true Spiritual Language.

      "When the Lord was in the world he spoke by correspondences, and thus both spiritually and naturally at the same time. This is apparent from His parables, in which every single expression contains a spiritual sense. However, people of Jesus’ time only understood the natural, literal level of His teaching. Correspondences were not disclosed to the primitive early Christians because they were too simple to understand them. Thus Jesus said, ‘There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now.’ [MH: The coded fiction of the Illuminati similarly invokes correspondences.]" – Wikipedia

      Scientists study the world on a purely sensory level. They have no concept of a Platonic, non-sensory, intelligible level, defined purely by reason and logic, and expressed mathematically.

      The people of the Golden Age loved correspondences, and made small images to remind themselves of heavenly things. But as the human race declined into evil and the knowledge of correspondences was almost lost, people began to worship the images themselves, in other words they began to practise idolatry. – Wikipedia

      Likewise, scientists started to worship appearances (phenomena) rather than understand the things (noumena; things in themselves) that they were an appearance of. The scientific method is predicated on the belief that the things that appear to us are actual reality, and anything that doesn’t appear to us doesn’t exist at all. There’s no suggestion in science that what we observe has a kernel (the thing in itself) that we never observe under any circumstances, for the simple reason that it’s non-sensory.

      The knowledge of correspondences of the Ancient and Israelitish Words spread widely in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. In Greece, the correspondences were turned into the myths of antiquity. There were people, notably those referred to as wise ones, diviners or magi, who still had some knowledge of correspondences until the time of the Lord’s advent. This is evident from the Wise Men who came to the Lord at His birth; and this was why a star went before them, and why they brought gifts gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Matt. 2:1-2, 9-11). The star corresponded to knowledge from heaven, gold to celestial goodness, frankincense to spiritual goodness, and myrrh to natural goodness. These three components are the correspondential basis for all worship. – Wikipedia

      It has always been suggested that wise ones have access to secret knowledge denied to others. In fact, it’s mathematical metaphysicists – the mathematikoi – who possess all true secret knowledge!

      In historical analysis, Biblical criticism and comparative mythology, parallelomania refers to a phenomenon where authors perceive apparent similarities and construct parallels and analogies without historical basis. – Wikipedia

      Science likewise manically imagines apparent similarities between phenomena and ultimate reality. The plain fact is that you cannot work out what ultimate reality is merely by looking at the world. Your senses won’t help you at all. Ultimately reality is rational, logical, intelligible and mathematical, i.e. entirely non-sensory and non-empirical. If reason is our proper tool for apprehending reality then reality is rational. If it’s our senses, as science claims, then reality is sensory, ergo not rational, and not intelligible. No sensory thing is an intelligible thing. You can’t work out what ultimate reality is by observing an object. You can work out what ultimate reality is by applying reason. There’s a principle of sufficient reason. There’s no principle of sufficient sensation. You can work out the whole of math by applying reason. You can’t work out anything at all merely by looking at something. You can invent countless explanations to account for what you are observing, but that’s interpretation, not knowledge.

      From the mere letter of the Word of the Old Testament no one would ever discern the fact that this part of the Word contains deep secrets of heaven, and that everything within it both in general and in particular bears reference to the Lord, to His heaven, to the church, to religious belief, and to all things connected therewith; for from the letter or sense of the letter all that anyone can see is that – to speak generally – everything therein has reference merely to the external rites and ordinances of the Jewish Church. Yet the truth is that everywhere in that Word there are internal things which never appear at all in the external things except a very few which the Lord revealed and explained to the Apostles; such as that the sacrifices signify the Lord; that the land of Canaan and Jerusalem signify heaven – on which account they are called the Heavenly Canaan and Jerusalem – and that Paradise has a similar signification. – Swedenborg, Arcana Cœlestia (Heavenly Mysteries or Secrets of Heaven)

      The Jungian attitudes of Extraversion and Introversion determine the two opposite ways in which we orient ourselves to the world. Extraversion directs our energy outwards to the external world (of people, places, things and machines). Introversion directs our energy inwards to the inner world of thoughts, ideas, imagination, intuitions and ghosts.

      The Evolution of Mind

      The mental evolution of the universe takes place via the mental components of the psyche identified by Jung. Like everything else, these are in dialectical conflict with each other, and seek to come to a perfect synthesis.

      The Jungian Perceiving Functions

      1) Sensing: The collection of concrete data via our five senses.

      2) Intuition: The collection of data via non-sensory means. (Intuition is a kind of extra-sensory perception.)

      The Jungian Judging Functions

      Thinking: The evaluation of information via objective and logical criteria. What has universal importance?

      Feeling: The evaluation of information via subjective criteria involving one’s personal values and relationships. What has individual importance?

      Collection and Evaluation

      The perceiving functions collect information. The judging functions evaluate information and use it for making decisions.

      Science is entirely based on sensory information gathering. It rejects intuition. As for thinking, science presses it into the service of evaluating and interpreting sensory data only. Everything else involving reason and logic is excluded. Feelings are also ignored by science, meaning that science subordinates evaluation to collection. Emotional religion and rational math, on the other hand, are all about putting evaluation above collection. Mystical religion, conversely, has the gathering of information via intuition as its primary focus. It’s thus the spiritual counterpart of sensory science, while emotional religion is the spiritual counterpart of rational math.

      Science and mysticism have data collection as their primary objective, with evaluation playing a secondary role. Math and emotional religion have evaluation as their primary objective, with data collection playing a secondary role. Science would never dream of evaluating anything non-sensory, and mysticism would never evaluate anything non-intuitive. Math, on the other hand, can evaluate itself ... its own rules and structure. It doesn’t need any external data. That’s why it’s all about reason and logic. Emotional religion can concentrate on the feelings it generates. It needs no other data. That’s why it’s all about love, terror, faith and hope.

      A person always prefers one perceiving function over another, and one judging function over another, and one particular function is preferred overall. Some people prefer thinking, some intuition, some feeling, and some sensing. Religion is all about feeling (Abrahamism), or mystical intuition (Eastern religion). Science is all about sensing. Mathematics and metaphysics are all about thinking.

      There are eight Jungian attitude-functions:

      1) Extraverted Sensing: Focuses on the objective world, and on gathering factual data from sensory experiences. This is the world of science.

      2) Extraverted Intuition: Focuses on possibilities, meanings and patterns in the objective world. This is the business and media world.

      3) Extraverted Thinking: Focuses on the logical order of the objective world. This is the arena of engineering, architecture, technology and design.

      4) Extraverted Feeling: Focuses on emotional accord and harmony in the objective world. This is the world of religion and community.

      5) Introverted Sensing: Focuses on inner sensory experiences. Perception is not based directly on the object, but is merely suggested by it, allowing a massive intensification of sensation absent from the actual object. This is the world of the connoisseur.

      6) Introverted Intuition: Focuses on the inner world of symbols, meanings, insight and patterns arising from the unconscious. This is the world of the visionary.

      7) Introverted Thinking: Focuses on the inner world of reason and logic. This is the world of the great theoreticians.

      8) Introverted Feeling: Focuses on the inner world of deeply felt values and experiences; strives for an inner intensity unrelated to any external object. This can result in mystical ecstasy. This is the arena of intense art, religion and spirituality.

      Judging types like to settle matters, i.e. they want to achieve a resolution, to close off a situation. Perceiving types prefer to keep things open; to defer decisions and resolutions, to keep their options open. In Myers-Briggs terms, scientists are of the SP type. This means that they don’t want to reach a final answer to existence. If they did, they would be judging types. Those most committed to settling the question of existence are the INTJs.

      *****

      SP types: appear to the world as concrete (scientific).

      NP types: appear to the world as abstract (spiritual).

      TJ types: appear to the world as logical (mathematical).

      FJ types: appear to the world as empathetic (social).

      Form and Content

      Math is all about the evaluation of eternal, necessary Form. Science is all about the gathering and interpretation of temporal, contingent Content.

      Animals

      Animals exist in the moment, at the level of data collection, and of instant, instinctive evaluation of the data. They don’t reflect on their experiences and perceptions, i.e. they’re not conscious. You must carefully reflect and evaluate to be conscious, and that’s exactly what animals don’t do. It’s also what scientists and mystics don’t do. Scientists, as machine people obsessed with sensory data collection, literally lack consciousness. Scientists deny free will and assign no meaning and purpose to life. That’s exactly what you would expect of non-conscious machines. Scientists are incapable of reflecting on and evaluating unobservable things about which they can never gather sensory data.

      For scientists, the mechanical process of data collection is much more important than the intellectual evaluation of data. Scientists are anti-intellectuals, which is why they privilege sensory experiments over reason and logic. They are primitive thinkers who cannot imagine a noumenal world distinct from its appearance. They are ruled by their senses, not by their intelligence, which is why science makes so many unintelligible, plainly irrational claims. Science rejects the principle of sufficient reason. It has no inherent logical, rational, analytic first principles. It has no formal ontology and epistemology. Any theory can be abandoned at any time, depending on the latest experimental results.

      Science breaks down the further it gets from the senses and experimental data, yet this is exactly the arena where ontological mathematics comes into its own. You cannot be a true thinker if the collection of data is more important to you than the rational and logical evaluation of data, and of data that’s implied and rationally demanded, but not visible!

      The Mind Pilot

      The movement of an elementary particle, according to Bohm’s pilot wave theory, is thus tied to a total force which is given by the sum of two terms: a classical force (derived from a classical potential) and a quantum force (derived from the quantum potential). – Ignazio Licata, Davide Fiscaletti, Quantum Potential: Physics, Geometry and Algebra

      The movement of a body, according to Illuminist mind-pilot theory, is tied to a total force given by the sum of two terms: a classical force (derived from scientific materialism) and a mental force (derived from Fourier frequency mathematics). The mind is the pilot (ghost) that directs the body (machine). Without the mind, the human body would have no pilot, hence be just an inert, dead collection of material atoms.

      "In 1931, John von Neumann published The Foundations of Quantum Theory, which remains to this day the mathematical bible on that topic. In this book, von Neumann offered a mathematical proof that an ordinary classical reality could not underlie quantum theory. For over twenty years, ‘von Neumann’s proof’ stood as a mathematical corroboration of the Copenhagen interpretation. However, in 1952, David Bohm did the impossible and uprooted this ‘proof’ by constructing a model of the electron with classical attributes whose behaviour matched the predictions of the quantum theory. In this model, the electron is viewed as an ordinary particle, with one key difference: the electron has access to information about its environment. To derive this model, Bohm began with the Schrödinger equation, which is the central mathematical formula of quantum physics. Using elegant mathematics, Bohm effectively partitioned this equation into two parts, or terms: a classical term that essentially reproduces Newtonian physics, and a nonclassical term that he calls the quantum potential. The classical term treats the electron as an ordinary particle, as in classical physics. The nonclassical quantum potential is a wave-like term that provides information to the electron, linking it to the rest of the universe. The quantum potential is responsible for the well-known wave-particle duality and all the other bizarre phenomena for which quantum theory has become famous. Indeed, the nonlocal character of quantum reality – as implied by Bell’s Theorem [See Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment] and empirically observed in the renowned experiments of Alain Aspect – may be viewed as plausible evidence for the actual existence of an entity symbolized by the quantum potential." –

      http://www.halexandria.org/dward404.htm

      According to von Neumann, an ordinary classical reality cannot underlie quantum theory. According to Bohm, a classical reality can underlie quantum theory, but only via the addition of something completely non-classical ... a pilot wave (quantum potential) which has access to information about the particle’s environment (the whole universe!). The particle is a local spacetime entity; the pilot wave is a non-local singularity entity.

      In mind-matter terms, machine reality is a classical reality, but, when quantum reality is added, this becomes a ghost-in-the-machine reality, i.e. mind is added to matter.

      The dual-aspect ontology of Illuminism (frequency and spacetime) is not a classical reality, and it fully supports the notion of pilot waves, expressed through the Fourier frequency Singularity outside space and time, via which all things are interconnected.

      The particle is the local body; the pilot wave is the non-local mind (in fact, the pilot wave is related to the Cosmic Mind rather than to an individual mind). Each of us has a body guided by a mind, and our mind is linked to the entire universe. When we develop our mind sufficiently, we literally become God!

      Seeing What Others Don’t

      Geniuses see what others don’t. Intuitives see what sensing types don’t. Scientists fail to see what others see, and then deny the reality of what the others have seen. Scientists regard their own blindness as vision!

      Men and Women

      Male culture is largely ES – extravert and sensing. Intelligent men typically add T and thus become ESTs = scientists. Stupid men add F and thus become ESFs – e.g. Muslims!

      Female culture is largely EF – extravert and feeling. Intelligent women typically add N and thus become ENFs = spiritual and religious thinkers. Stupid women add S and thus become ESFs – e.g. Muslims (just like the stupid men!).

      Men are better at science than women. Women are better at religion, spirituality, empathy and morality than men. Men are more forthright than women. Women are more considerate. These are generalisations of course. Individual men and women may be nothing like their universal.

      The task is to make men and women much more intuitive, much more rational, and to create a profound introverted culture rather than a shallow extraverted culture. Above all, humanity must move from religion on the one hand (thesis), and science on the other (antithesis), to math (synthesis).
