TRANSHUMANISM, ALCHEMY, AND GENETICS

OK folks...over the next several weeks I am blogging a few articles for scheduled release, to give me a bit of a break during the holidays, and to facilitate the mountain of work I've got to do. So if my blogs seem dated, that is why.

That said, I was sent this link by a Facebook friend and I thought this was significant enough to pass along, and I'll say why in a few moments:

EmTech: Get Ready for a New Human Species

Now you've probably noticed the title of this blog is "Transhumanism, Alchemy, and Genetics," and you're probably wondering what the heck alchemy has to do with all of this. Well, believe it or not, these three themes are major themes of the book my co-author, Dr. Scott D deHart, and I just sent off to a publisher. That book is called Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Altars and the Agenda for the Apocalyptic Transformation of Man(Feral House, in press)So what is so alchemical about the genetic engineering of a "new human species"?

Well, for starters, if you're familiar with alchemy at all, it comes in two forms: (1) exoteric alchemy, which is the one we all think of, of dark hooded pseudo-scientists bent over crucibles and beakers and flasks, trying to confect the celebrated Philosophers' Stone, a magical alloy able to turn base metals into gold, and (2) esoteric alchemy, which is the one everyone forgets about, which it to transform human consciousness itself from the "base metal" of ordinary existence, to an illumined consciousness, a transformed consciousness.

By the nature of the case, an "enhanced humanity," the humanity envisioned by the transhumanists, will inevitably bring a change of consciousness, even if only in an indirect way, for it will bring about profound changes in human society, and hence, changes in individual consciousness on a civilization-sized scale.

But let's speculate a bit. I've always maintained in various interviews and even in my books, that in the ancient metaphor (see Grid of the Gods or The Philosopher's Stone, or even the ninth chapter of The Cosmic War) that there is a direct connection to mind and the physical medium. I've even entertained the idea that human DNA acts as a kind of "conscioussness transducer", transducing, as it were, a person from the "hyper-dimensional" realm of the physical medium itself, if that makes any sort of sense.  It is precisely here that the implications might be the most profound, in that genetically engineered alterations to human DNA might result in changes in human consciousness. And that means we should watch these developments with caution and circumspection.

As for our new book, Transhumanism, A Grimoire....well, let's just say, this article is just scratching the surface, and there is so much more that could be said about it.


 

 

Joseph P. Farrell

Joseph P. Farrell has a doctorate in patristics from the University of Oxford, and pursues research in physics, alternative history and science, and "strange stuff". His book The Giza DeathStar, for which the Giza Community is named, was published in the spring of 2002, and was his first venture into "alternative history and science".

    Transhumanism is a dead end.

    It is a horizontal flatland philosophy whose final end will be in the darkest regions of an electronic De Sadean dystopia. A nightmare of nightmares.
    The Transhumanists leaders continue to do their best to cleanse and rid Transhumanism of any movement in the “vertical” dimension, hence no genuine transcendence beyond the human and the physical is permitted, just an ego inflated lust to become gods of the physical realm.

    I personally tried to get the Transhumanists to at least make a bridge between themselves and the work of someone like Ken Wilbur, but they will have nothing to with it,…no, no, we don’t need or want that stikin stupid religious stuff, no thanks we will do it all ourselves with our cyborgs, computers, and patterns.

    Well, folks, the next version of a Nazian hell will come from the Transhumanists…. believe me, and if you don’t sieg heil their “upgrades” you will be sent to the digital gas ovens.

    When you are given the choice to “download” or die, choose death, ….at least that way you will have some chance to returning to your origin in the Godhead.

    This is my last post on this website…. the human situation is hopeless so there is nothing left to write about.

    I suggest that genetics have absolute zero impact on human consciousness. Only the body itself can be impacted. Of course few humans are aware of the separation between body and consciousness. In this context one must remember that the mind is not the same as consciousness. Body/mind disintegrates as soon as consciousness abandons them. Consciousness then separates into Spirit and Soul. Spirit (usually) returns to its source (specific star) whereas the soul descends into the ‘underworld’ (earth) This cycle is renewed when the star of origin takes a new turn to combine with the ‘remnant-soul’ of the previous incarnation. This process is ‘regulated’ by the amount of conscious energy retained at death.

    First off, DNA is not a double helix but/ The Triple Helix: Gene, Organism & the Environment by Richard C. Lewontin
    Second, their may be even more than that.
    In this transhuman format there is also a game afoot to patent these ‘transhumans’, in other words – they are to be someone’s property.

      That may be happening.
      For some (?)

        In her book, Deadly Monopolies/The Shoking Corporate Takeover of Life Itself, Harriet A. Washington tells her readers this has been happening and the framework is not only being written into law, but court decisions are also being made to set-up structural presedences for ‘transhumans’. In fact, as I believe, Dr. Farrell may have alluded to this in his work – that ‘we’ may be already biolgically engineered and subject to these laws now being layed out. Strange but, these days, even the aformentioned is looking within the realm of a new paradigm being constructed before our eyes.
        The recent bill passed by the senate basically wiped-out the constitution. Paul Craig Roberts:Congress is Repealing the Costitution reported in Op Ed news & RT TV. That is happening before our eyes. But NO Mainstream coverage.

    “Transhumanism: A Grimoire…”-

    transhumanism seems to have always been a grimoire (has anyone noticed the word “grim” in grimoire?- ooh, that damn etymology…!)-

    “to transform human consciousness itself … to an illumined consciousness, a transformed consciousness”-

    so who is in charge of transforming who’s consciousness into what kind of illumination?- OUR choice of the concept of “illumination” or someone else’s?-

    “if you’re familiar with alchemy at all, it comes in two forms”-

    could these two forms possibly be wrapped in a present-day package known as chemtrails?- (by the way, did we ever “vote” pro/con on chemtrailing…?)

    “genetically engineered alterations to human DNA might result in changes in human consciousness. And that means we should watch these developments with caution and circumspection”-

    absolutely right- but how could we possibly CONSCIOUSLY monitor genetically engineered alterations to human DNA that might result in changes of human consciousness?- if our DNA is being genetically ENGINEERED (that means a third party- benevolent or malevolent?), we peons need to re-think the concept of “free will” on our part

    I think that the (Universal) natural DNA “flux” that we
    are all going through for the last several years will win out.

    [This may affect people in two different ways.
    A judgement of sorts (?) Perhaps (?) ]

    Where do I get this stuff (?)

    I network information and what you don’t know is
    that scientists
    (not of the mainstream who tend toward keeping their mouths shut,
    since they are a ‘dying’ breed if they don’t uphold the Establishment)
    have found that their are exotic sub-atomic particles
    coming from the sun; never seen before, evidently caused
    by the sun’s EM field that is getting ready to flip because
    its two rotational cycles are coming into sinc.
    Ok. breathe, HAL838 !

    It is a regular cycle not recorded during this cycle because
    the last one was over 189,000 years ago.

    There are also particles that are seen to affect the
    radioactive decay rate. We seem to need that !!!
    Totally unheard of and thought to be impossible.
    So what else is new………….?
    😉

      Perhaps I repeat myself; totally worth it, though.
      🙂
