Well there's more in the alchemical transhumanism scrapbook this week, as there always is, and it concerns, once again, that step on the alchemical ladder having to do with what Dr. de Hart and I called "alchemo-mineral" man in Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas. Just as a refresher, those steps in the declension of mankind were as follows: Alchemo-sexual, or "androgynous" man; Alchemo-mineral man; Alchem-vegetable man; Alchemo-animal man. Why the prefix alchemo? Just to serve as a constant reminder that each stage back up the ladder, from step 4 to 3, to 2 and back … [Read more...]

ERIC SPROTT ON ALL THAT GOLD IN THE CENTRAL BANKS… ER… WELL…MAYBE NOT….
The past couple of days I've been blogging about our old friend, the Bearer Bonds scandals, and yesterday I happened to mention once again the curious amount of gold in the world, or rather, the curious fact that no one seems to know an exact figure. Well, I ran across this article and a few of you here found it as well, and I find it curious for any number of reasons, not the least of which is the amount of gold it mentions, which is yet another new figure. What made me sit up and take notice however, is that its author, Eric Sprott, is the manager of a ten billion dollar fund... so when … [Read more...]
NEW DRUG/”VACCINE” IN EUROPE “CORRECTS” GENETIC DEFECTS
Yesterday I blogged about the possibilities opened up by recent Japanese experiments that have successfully produced egg cells from stem cells, and about the implications these emerging technologies spell for what is increasingly looking to be a transhumanist future. There I noted that my co-author Scott de Hart and I argued in our book Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas, that much of what the world calls "transhumanism" is really not all that modern a phenomenon, but merely an update of an old, and quintessentially alchemical agenda. One of the things that alchemical texts … [Read more...]
EGGS FROM STEM CELLS: SOME POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THE TRANSHUMANIST FUTURE
In Transhumanism: A Grimoire of AlchemicalAgendas, Dr Scott de Hart and I pointed out that the basic agenda behind transhumanism, as a philosophical movement or meditation upon humanity's future, seems to be at root fundamentally alchemical, since it follows the path of ascent from animal, to vegetable, to mineral, and finally, to androgynous man. Crucial to this emerging philosophical meditation are the so-called GRIN technologies: Genetics, Robotics, Information-processing, and Nanotechnologies. In that book, we likewise advanced the hypothesis that androgyny, in the ancient myths, was … [Read more...]
CANCER VICTIM GETS NEW PROSTHETIC EAR GROWN FROM HER OWN TISSUE
As you might have gathered by now, I have been more than a bit skeptical in my evaluations of the "promise" held out by the new transhumanist technologies: nano-technology, genetic engineering, robotics, implants, and so on. But not all the developments are necessarily bad. Here is a very interesting story from ABC News that I had to pass along: Doctors Grow New Ear on Cancer Victim's Arm The implications of this technology for medicine, and indeed, for what it means to be human, are immense, for as my co-author Dr. Scott de Hart and I pointed out in Transhumanism: A Grimoire of … [Read more...]
RT TV AND THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
RT TV, and the RT website, as you are aware, is one of my favorite sites, and now it would appear that they are coming to grips with the emerging transhumanism-alchemy technocratic agenda (and my thanks to co-author Scott D deHart for bringing this to my attention): First the EU, next Frankenstein? Nobel Committee’s decision ‘farcical’ – RT’s Max Keiser As I am writing this blog, I am also listening to a popular American talk show host, commenting in disbelief on the Nobel committee's decision to award the peace prize to the European Union. Of course, these prizes are nothing … [Read more...]
