of a talk given at the Galileo Commission, 29th August 2023...
In 1987 the English poet Heathcote Williams published his epic poem 'Autogeddon' about the impact of the automobile.
In it he wrote:
The same can be said for the world of today if we replace 'car' with 'technological infrastructure.'
And yet, which is the
dominant life form?
External structures frame how people perceive the world around them à this perceptual framing then influences how particular worldviews, behaviors, and environments emerge.
At each stage, how we think affects what we create, or - what is created or put in place as our environmental structures affect and/or manipulate how we think (and this can lead to what I call a 'machinic consciousness.'
A small example:
What I am saying here is
that the direction that humanity is taking, in the name of
'progress,' is towards establishing a new environmental
infrastructure that will reorganize and recalibrate human behavior.
And in this case the 'dominant form' that is under construction will be amenable to a certain type of intelligence.
For starters,
It will be kind to those who are willing to accept a life 'within the grid' of digital-everything,
...and it will be unkind
to those wishing for an off-grid, or less digitally-dense lifestyle.
Such an environment also affects the cognitive functioning of the mind as it becomes ever more deeply immersed into an electrified realm...
Techne is not only a form of physical terraforming but also a re-forming of our human thinking patterns...
Humanity will become symbiotic,
The human intelligence that will result from this environment is not yet formed and in most ways, unknown:
The unconscious human may, by degrees, be transformed into the robo-sapien where behavior sets and cognitive perception are limited to a very low level.
Such a dystopian future was once described in the 1960s by French philosopher Jacques Ellul as the following:
The ongoing terraforming of the natural, organic world opens itself up for a replacement by a 'machinic civilization' based on technocratic governance and processes of techne.
When the ecosystems of Nature are broken down, reduced to material systems, then the building blocks for artificial structures - structures devoid of organic life - are established which give host for the manifestation and expression of anti-developmental forces (or what I sometimes refer to as entropic forces).
The present times are hyper-materialistic and heavily intellect dominant...
This allows for an organization of human thinking where,
If this continues then it is likely to lead to a state where the human species, unknowing to itself, will have lost the ability for true, genuine thinking.
The inner world will have become diminished, and any inner, developmental impulses become over-ridden by material forces.
Furthermore, the inner being of the human may be drawn into a sub-natural state.
According to the Austrian mystic-philosopher Rudolf Steiner,
That is,
One hundred years ago Steiner warned humankind to be cautious not to build cultures dependent or based on electricity.
An electro-ecosystem will only serve to draw us farther away from our natural environments and into a lower vibrational state of sub-nature.
In a lecture from 1925, Steiner says:
Put simply,
The deeper immersion into materialism gives rise to stronger entropic forces - for materialism is not an evolutionary end goal - it is only a stage upon the developmental path.
If we stop at materialism, we will have taken the dead-end path - the cul-de-sac choice - of evolution.
Such anti-evolutionary forces are establishing an electrified realm of sub-nature upon the Earth where electricity is replacing our need for genuine light, and chemical skies are increasingly blocking the reception of the sunlight.
Furthermore, such forces, being highly materialistic, are primarily focused upon the dominance of an economic realm; a reality where humans are coerced into thinking of economy as the main driver and principal concern.
The focus is upon the reign of quantity and not the quality, exemplified by a culture that is governed by,
It is these unseen forces
of cataloguing, identifying, and accrediting - such as the
China-led social credit score system - that are splitting off
people from their natural, organic relations.
The crisis of our times is that our societies do not consider human purpose and the deeper meaning of human existence.
According to the wisdom traditions, at the end of each developmental epoch, humanity receives conditions necessary in order to activate a new organ - or faculty - necessary for the incoming epoch.
Each new developmental capacity within humanity allows for it to receive a wider spectrum of perceptual reality.
Yet we may be largely unaware of these transformational processes that are already in motion.
As the saying goes:
However, this 'transformation in process' antagonizes those social forces that are intent on maintaining their current power regime.
For this reason, there tends to be a counter-initiative established by the ruling powers to block and to impede the general masses in the reception of developmental energies.
This movement is currently playing out as transhumanism and involves the terraforming of planet Earth (as I've discussed).
At such transitional times, chaotic periods are most prevalent for there is this struggle or contestation between,
Such chaotic periods may appear to be in opposition to us yet may actually be working to our benefit.
What I mean here is that
forces of disruption being unleashed by the push towards
transhumanism may actually activate people into other avenues of
development, literally shocking people into awareness; periods of
upheaval allow movements in many directions, just as ploughing the
soil allows for new growth.
The sacred impulses - sometimes referred to as the 'immaterial fire or light' exist as the background radiation to physical existence, and it radiates, or flows, into physicality through material bodies/forms.
This non-visible metaphysical fire/light/spirit is generally not perceived by the outer senses, but by the inner being.
This is why it is crucial that,
There are attempts to create societies devoid of developmental impulses.
What we need to nurture is a 'focused intention' - to support aspects of the Creative Imagination that work through an integrated thinking capacity, rather than being trapped within a materialistic, analytical, intellect-dominant brain domain.
The creative imagination suffuses the individual's inner being rather than being a product of the social ego.
Along with the creative imagination there is the Intuitive Intellect that operates beyond the veil of a rationalized, conditioned intellect.
We must reclaim our mediums of meaning and significance.
Much of our modern language has recently been hijacked to become slogans, branding, twitterings, etc, and thus mostly 'dead language'.
Also, individuals need to gain a sufficient degree of psychological autonomy - away from entanglements in superficial 'social satisfiers' - those dependency-orientated activities and entertainment-comforts - that offer only crudities but not refinements.
To speak metaphysically, it is about how we cultivate our vibrational signature:
What we actively oppose often ends up attuning us to its frequency.
As the inventor Tesla said:
A person needs to be able to discern between the lower, denser frequencies, and those of a more uplifting, inspiring, and developmental nature.
Then such a person is able to stand aside from the context of their environment, so that it has minimal effect on them, yet also blending with it when required.
It is the lower, denser energy that seeks to dominate the environment and those within it - and it is this style of behavior that is both encouraged by consensus society as well as rewarded by it.
We can see examples of this 'reality splitting' already occurring:
Vibrational alignment with a balanced, inner life helps to detach an individual from a life that is being bombarded by lower order impulses and influences (media, news, entertainments, etc).
We need to disentangle ourselves from the energetic entanglements of outer ghosts:
Quite literally:
Without sufficient insight, all focus gets placed upon the transient and the superficial.
These are the external factors that hook and pull people into a controlling consensus reality with very limited understanding.
Thus, to summarize here:
Yet personally I cannot envision there being a unified response:
Some people will choose to actively fight or revolt against the incoming wave of transhumanism - and these people will feel this to be a necessary action.
Yet what I feel is needed is inner transformative change first, to transfigure the human individual through the availability and transmission of perceptive materials:
That is, through the communication and organization of developmental information, so that a person can discern the difference between a world of external, manipulated events and an inner world with a distinct degree of perceptive understanding.
However, this outreach will not get the majority on our side.
Yet I don't feel that a majority shift is needed in order to get the ball rolling.
First off, let us remember that fear feeds the forces of denial and control.
Our weakness and lack of inner resolve strengthens the forces of human control.
Willing compliance with transhumanist agendas and the onslaught of technocracy shall be our greatest failure.
Yet non-compliance does not necessarily mean physical resistance:
And this is how humans have always thrived... by getting on and doing things following an inner guidance and necessity.
We don't need to wait to be told...!
That is, for the creation of parallel paths in how we establish,
...and how we focus on our objectives for a life based on quality and not quantity.
In other words,
And it is already
happening across the world today - just not yet visible to many of
us.
And it is the recognition of sacred, holy, or transcendental forces that will not only assist this transformation but will also better serve those individuals for the current transition as well as for a post-transition future.
We may ask ourselves:
The human spirit can be thwarted, blocked, suppressed - yet its existence remains:
To repeat what I said previously:
We need to be open to
these potentialities by having hope, trust, and faith - and not to
be closed down by fear.
Only let us be aware that there is also likely to be turbulence upon the way.
Yet the act of
transmuting and grounding turbulence into transformative forces is
the very least of the sacred responsibilities of the human being.
