Manipulating Matter: The
Scientific Dictatorship as a Project in the Reconfiguration of Reality

In the article entitled “The Ascendancy of the
Scientific Dictatorship” (Fall 2003 edition of Paranoia Magazine), we examined the
transmogrification of the elite’s religious power structure into a technocratic
oligarchy legitimized predominantly by science. The history and background of
this "scientific dictatorship" is a conspiracy, created and
micro-managed by the historical tide of Darwinism, which has its foundations in
Freemasonry. In this article, we shall examine the “scientific dictatorship” as
an enormous project in the re-sculpting of reality itself.
The Technocracy
Freemason Aldous Huxley coined the term “scientific
dictatorship” and presented an allegorized version of the concept in his famous roman ‘a clef entitled Brave
New World. Huxley was mentored by Freemason H.G. Wells, who also presented a fictionalized “scientific
dictatorship” under the appellation of the “Technocracy.” This is an
interesting designation for a world government managed by functional elites and
scientists. It is derived from the Greek word techne, which means craft. Given Wells’ membership in the
Craft of Freemasonry, the synchronicity becomes apparent.
Moreover, the term craft is also associated with witchcraft or wicca. From the term wicca, one derives the word wicker
(Hoffman, p. 63, 2001). Examining this word a little
closer, Michael Hoffman explains: “The word wicker has many denotations and
connotations, one of which is ‘to bend,’ as in the ‘bending’ of reality”
(Hoffman, p. 63, 2001). This is especially interesting when considering the
words of Mark Pesce, co-inventor of Virtual Reality Modeling Language. Pesce writes: “The enduring archetype of techne
within the pre-Modern era is magic, of an environment that conforms entirely to
the will of being” (Pesce, 1997).
Techne is also from whence
the word technology is derived. The significance of this fact becomes evident
when Pesce opines:
Each endpoint of techne has an expression in the
modern world as a myth of fundamental direction--the mastery of matter, and the
collection of spirit. The myth of matter comes to its end as the absolute
expression of will as artifact;
in a word, nanotechnology (Pesce, 1997).
Herein is the final objective of
Radical Empiricism: The Epistemological Pretext for Re-Sculpting Reality
As we have established in previous articles, most of contemporary science is predicated upon empiricism. This is the epistemological
stance that all knowledge is derived exclusively
through the senses. Lyndon LaRouche explains the
inherent flaws of empiricism:
By the nature of our processes of sense-perception,
our direct perception of the world "outside our skins" (so to speak)
does not show us that world "outside our skins," but, rather, the
impact of that unperceived real world upon the biology of our mental-sensory
processes. In other words, the shadows on the wall of Plato's
Cave (LaRouche, 2003).
Thus, the world becomes little more than an ever-shifting pliancy of
impressions. All that a percipient surveys is an amorphous amalgam of
“shadows.” It comes as little surprise that an exclusively empirical approach
relegates causality to the realm of metaphysical fantasy. The obviation of
causality holds enormous ramifications for science.
What is perceived as A causing B could be merely a
consequence of circumstantial juxtaposition. Although temporal succession and
spatial proximity are axiomatic, causal connection is not. Affirmation of
causal relationships is impossible. Given the absence of causality, all of a
scientist’s findings must be taken upon faith. .
Ironically, science relies on the affirmation of such cause and effect
relationships. This is all one can deduce while working under the paradigm of
radical empiricism. Thus, the elite merely exchanged one form of mysticism for
another. It comes as little surprise that, within certain occult circles,
contemporary science is considered sorcery
disseminated on the popular level. For instance, Satanic
high priest Anton LeVey regarded science and
technology as “sanctioned, but ineffectual ‘occultism’” (Raschke,
p. 214, 1990).
In fact, science has become a new form of sorcery for the manipulation of
matter. According to the epistemology of empiricism, reality is little more
than a quagmire of impressions. It is analogous to a holograph, the fabric of
which is pliable enough to be manipulated. Thus,
reality becomes the ever-shifting canvas upon which scientists paint whatever
they wish. The scientist’s role in this reconfiguration of reality was delineated in an esoteric tract entitled The Way of
Light. Authored by Comenius in 1668, the manifesto was dedicated to the British Royal Society. Researcher
Michael Hoffman elaborates:
In it, Comenius addressed the first formal scientists
as “illuminati” and outlined their scientific
purpose, “…which is to secure…the empire of the human mind over matter”
[emphasis - ADDED] (Hoffman, p. 23, 2001).
Years later, Bertrand Russell would recapitulate the “illuminati’s”
(i.e., scientists’) role in the establishment of “the empire of the human mind
over matter.” Redefining science as an instrument of radical empiricism,
Russell wrote:
The way in which science arrives at its beliefs is quite different from that of
medieval theology. Experience has shown that it is dangerous to start from
general principles and proceed deductively, both because the principles may be
untrue and because the reasoning based upon them may be fallacious. Science
starts, not from large assumptions, but from particular facts discovered by
observation or experiment. From a number of such facts a general rule is arrived at, of which, if it is true, the facts in
question are instances… Science thus encourages abandonment of the search for
absolute truth, which belongs to any theory that can be
successfully employed in inventions or in predicting the future.
“Technical” truth is a matter of degree: a theory from which more
successful inventions and predictions spring is truer than one which
gives rise to fewer. “Knowledge” ceases to be a mental mirror of the universe,
and becomes merely a practical tool in the manipulation of matter [emphasis -
ADDED] (Russell, pp. 13 - 15, 1947).
In other words, science or “knowledge” becomes the instrument by which the “illuminati” re-sculpts reality. It also becomes an
epistemological weapon against the minds of men, wielded by the proverbial Descartean “evil demon.” Thus, the technocratic elite becomes a god, creating its own paradise and keeping the
rest of the human herd blinded. This was the central precept of Weishaupt’s Illuminati and the
conceit of the Technocracy today… God was not in the beginning, but evolved
from Man in the end. According to this conceit, Man could recreate
The Global Holodeck
The technocratic agenda of reconfiguring the “holograph of reality” is most clearly delineated by William Sims Bainbridge,
sociologist and member of the National Science Foundation. Citing sci-fi
predictive programmer Gene Roddenberry, Bainbridge writes:
An interesting feature of the popular Star Trek universe is that mass-media
popular culture is absent from its fictional future world. Several characters
play musical instruments and the preferred styles of music are classical,
whether European or belonging to some other high culture. Perhaps precisely because the characters are living very
future-oriented lives, they turn to historical sources like Mozart for their
aesthetic recreation. Presumably, the copyrights have all expired. Instead of
passively watching television programmes and movies, they programme their own
"holodeck" virtual reality dramas in which
they play active roles, often with historical settings. Government is certainly
not in the science fiction business, but government-encouraged research is
currently developing the technology to realise the Star Trek prophecies (Bainbridge,
“Memorials,” 2000).
Evidently, government-sponsored research programs are already
dedicated to the Technocracy’s vision of re-sculpting reality.
Bainbridge is certainly no stranger to this vision, as is evidenced by his
association with Scientology. In Religion and the Social Order, Bainbridge
presented a mandate for scientists to become “religious engineers” in the
development of a new world religion (Bainbridge, “New Religions, Science, and
Secularization,” 1993). This new world religion, which Bainbridge calls a “
Today there exists one highly effective religion actually derived from science
fiction, one which fits all the known sociological
requirements for a successful
I refer, of course, to Scientology (Bainbridge, “Religions for a Galactic
Civilization,” 1982).
In the Scientologist bible, L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics,
one finds a reiteration of Comenius’ mission
statement delivered to the “illuminati” (i.e.,
scientists). Hubbard states:
Man has something more: some people call it imagination, some call it this or
call it that; but whatever it is called, it adds up to the interesting fact
that man is not content merely to “face reality” as most other life forms are.
Man makes reality face him. Propaganda about “the necessity
of facing reality,” like propaganda to the effect that a man could be driven
mad by a “childhood delusion” (whatever that is), does not face the reality
that where the beaver down his ages of evolution built mud dams and keeps on
building mud dams, man graduates in a half century from a stone and wood dam to
make a mill wheel pond to structures like Grand Coulee Dam, and changes the
whole and entire aspect of a respectable portion of nature’s real estate from a
desert to productive soil, from a flow of water to lightening bolts (Hubbard,
p. 308, 1986).
It is very interesting that Hubbard would cite the Grand Coulee Dam as an
instant when man “made reality face him.” Again, Comenius’
mandate for mankind to establish “the empire of the
human mind over matter” emerges. Discussing the “Saturnian-masonic”
era of erecting megalithic structures, Hoffman observes:
Actually, with some crucial exceptions, the rise of the megaliths marked the
rise of the Hermetic Academy into its dominant physical phase. The theory is
that the megaliths “pin down” natural forces, helping to subdue nature’s most
savage furies. We marvel today at the Hoover Dam but that symbol
laden construction is but a crude parody of the technology of the
megaliths which helped to “dam” the wildest forces of nature (Hoffman, p. 21,
2001).
Evidently, men like Hubbard and Bainbridge see something entirely different
when they view structures like the Grand Coulee Dam and the Hoover Dam. They
are viewing the “endpoint of techne --the mastery of
matter.” It is the Technocracy’s project in consciously shaping the terrain of
the global holodeck.
The “Hive Mind”
As was established in the previous article over this topic,
In all Scriptures and cosmologies the tradition is universal
of a “Golden Age,” an age of comparative innocence, wisdom and spirituality, in
which racial unity [emphasis - ADDED, ed. note: Meaning one race, not concord
in race relations] and individual happiness and enlightenment prevailed; in
which there was that open vision for want of which a people perisheth,
but in virtue of which men were once in conscious conversation with the unseen
world and were shepherded, taught and guided by the “gods” or discarnate
superintendents of the infant race, who imparted to them the sure and
indefeasible principles upon which their spiritual welfare and evolution
[emphasis - ADDED] depended (Wilmshurst, p. 173,
1980).
However, Wilmshurst contends that a peregrination of
human consciousness away from the “racial mind” caused humanity to fall from
its former glory:
The tradition is also universal of the collective soul
[emphasis - ADDED] of the human race having sustained a “fall,” a moral
declension from its true path of life and evolution [emphasis - ADDED], which
has severed it almost entirely from its creative source, and which, as the ages
advanced, has involved its sinking more and more deeply into physical
conditions, its splitting up from unity employing a single language into a
diversity of conflicting races of different speeches and degrees of moral
advancement [emphasis - ADDED], accompanied by a progressive densification of
the material body and a corresponding darkening of the mind and atrophy of the
spiritual consciousness (Wilmshurst, p. 173, 1980).
Recall Pesce’s statement that techne
was expressed in the modern world as the “collection of spirit.” This is
precisely the objective of Masonry… the “collection of spirit” through the
facilitation of evolution! Wilmshurst proceeds to
reveal the chief means by which this will be achieved:
Unable to effect its [Man’s] own recovery it required skilled scientific
[emphasis - ADDED] assistance from other sources to bring about its
restoration. Whence could come that skill and scientific [emphasis - ADDED]
knowledge if not from the Divine and now invisible world, from those “gods” and
angelic guardians of the erring race of whom all ancient traditions and sacred
writings tell? Would not that regenerative method be properly described if it
were called, as in Masonry it is called, a “heavenly science” [emphasis -
ADDED], and welcomed in the words that Masons in fact use, “Hail, Royal Art!” (Wilmshurst, p. 175, 1980).
Can there be any wonder why Freemasons Aldous Huxley
and H.G. Wells were proponents of a “scientific
dictatorship?” It is an intrinsic feature of their Masonic heritage. This
heritage led them to bestow absolute epistemological primacy upon Science,
spelled with a capital S to denote its divine role in man’s purported ascent
towards apotheosis and the reconstitution of the Masonic “collective soul.”
This is scientism. In a speech before the Royal Institute of International
Affairs in 1936, H.G. Wells succinctly expressed the
core precept of scientism:
“At first the realization of the ineffectiveness of our best thought and
knowledge struck only a few people, like Mr. Maynard Keynes, for example… It is
science and not men of science that we want to enlighten and animate our
politics and rule the world” (qutd. in Keith, Mind
Control, World Control, pp. 306 - 307, 1997).
Wells also wrote about the mythological “collective soul,” which he dubbed “The
Mind of the Race.” W. Warren Wagar elaborates on
Wells’ “racial mind” doctrine:
It was at once the capstone and the mortar of his [Wells’] faith: a belief in
the emergence in human evolution of a collective racial being with the
collective racial mind, which gathered the results of the individual mental
effort into a single fund of racial wisdom and grew gradually toward organic
consciousness of itself. Individuals could escape the frustration inherent in
the fact of their individuality and mortality only by consecrating their lives
to the service of the Mind of the Race (Wagar, p. 100
- 101, 1961).
Wells believed that the final coalescence of human consciousness into a “racial
mind” would result in the emergence not of a mere man, but of perfected Man
with a capitalized M (Wagar, p. 104, 1961). The M is capitalized to denote the purported divinity that is
dormant within humanity. Wells’ Weltanschauung
remained consistent with the Masonic themes of a “collective soul” and man’s
evolutionary ascent towards deification. In H.G.
Wells and the
But the transcendent reality Wells actually professed
to see emerging here and now was the collective being of humanity, rather than
any “God.” At the level of the individual the species Homo sapiens might be
nothing more than a swarm of unique individuals descended in an unbroken
sequence from remote protozoan ancestors; yet Homo sapiens was more than a
name. At this moment in cosmic time it also denoted a class
of similar if not identical individuals, evolving in ceaseless interaction with
one another, and through the unique gift of speech able to pool their
experiences and so give birth to a higher order of being entirely: a racial
memory, a collective mind [emphasis - ADDED], the emergent intelligence of an
emergent racial being (Wagar, p. 104, 1961).
According to Wells’ Weltanschauung, the ecumenical
singularity into which humanity was being compressed
by evolution would relegate the individual to obsolescence:
As Wells grew older, he tended to look at life more and more from the synthetic
level of racial being and less and less from the analytical level of the
individual. At the end of his spiritual pilgrimage he
virtually accepted the realist argument that the whole is real and the
individual an illusion (Wagar, p. 104, 1961).
William Sims Bainbridge may prove to be instrumental in the demise of the
individual and the subsequent submergence of human consciousness within Wells’
“racial mind.” In an article entitled “
A draft government report says we will alter human evolution [emphasis - ADDED]
within 20 years by combining what we know of nanotechnology, biotechnology, IT
and cognitive sciences. The 405-page report sponsored by the US National
Science Foundation and Commerce Department, Converging Technologies for
Improving Human Performance, calls for a broad-based research program to
improve human performance leading to telepathy, machine-to-human communication,
amplified personal sensory devices and enhanced intellectual capacity
(Cochrane, p. 1, 2002).
Elaborating on this research program, Cochrane explains how this
convergent-technologies plan would be instrumental in the unification of mass
consciousness:
People may download their consciousnesses into computers or other bodies even
on the other side of the solar system, or participate in a giant "hive
mind", a network of intelligences connected through ultra-fast
communications networks. "With knowledge no longer encapsulated in
individuals, the distinction between individuals and the entirety of humanity
would blur," the report says. "Think Vulcan mind-meld. We would perhaps become more of a hive mind - an enormous, single,
intelligent entity” (Cochrane, p. 1, 2002).
Of course, preparations must be made for the
humanity’s comfortable acclimation to this new “hive mind.” Cochrane writes:
The report says the abilities are within our grasp but will require an intense
public-relations effort to "prepare key organisations and societal
activities for the changes made possible by converging technologies", and
to counter concern over "ethical, legal and moral" issues. Education should be overhauled down to the primary-school level to
bridge curriculum gaps between disparate subject areas (Cochrane, p. 1, 2002).
The “endpoint of techne” may be drawing nigh as the
Technocracy constructs its global holodeck. The nadir
will be the reconstitution of the Masonic collective soul and the engineering
of a “hive mind” through the sorcery of nanotechnology.
