Mainstream science, despite all its claims of objectivity, and despite the fact it attempts to lay claim to the truth, is itself a religion.
Science places itself on a pedestal and assures everyone it has dispassionately arrived at its conclusions. Meanwhile, however, it is full of assumptions, denials and limitations, and makes the serious mistake of presenting its theories as facts.
The errors of mainstream science are gladly seized upon by technocrats, eager to use science and technology to further their own ambitions of control, and include forcing the vaccine, GMO, surveillance, man made global warming, geoengineering, SMART and microchipping agendas onto an unsuspecting public.
Materialism, the driving force behind mainstream science, has been shown again and again to lack the capacity to explain the world around us, especially in relation to idealism or other theories that account for the energetic nature of reality. Yet, despite this, we remain collectively bedazzled by materialism, because science is a religion that has induced a certain faith in us.
This is certainly not the first time we have struggled with the debate of whether the world can best be described by materialism. The ancient Greek philosophers and scientists thought long and hard about the issue.
Materialism vs. idealism is really the philosophical battle between the ideas that matter exists independently (and that consciousness doesn’t exist or is secondary), as opposed to the idea that consciousness, thought and energy are primary (and that matter is secondary).
Democritus championed the first viewpoint (and his ideas were taken further by Aristotle), whereas Plato proposed the second with his famous theory of the World of Forms or World of Ideas. According to Plato, our materialist reality is an inferior copy of a more perfect world.
This is exactly in alignment with what various cultures, shamans, religions and spiritual traditions have been saying about the preeminence of energy and mind over matter.
Over the course of the next week I will share some thoughts on how we have abandoned the spiritual in favor of the “material”, and, in so doing have, as a society bowed down to a secular theology with it’s own catechism, it casts out and persecutes heretics, has and reveres it’s own saints, has it’s own theology to explain our origins, has it’s own ethics and morals, has it’s own priesthood, strictly follows it’s own dogma, tends to be mostly unfounded and requires blind faith from it’s acolytes.
Follow along, (if you dare), during the next few days and challenge beliefs rather than parroting facts.
