"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."--The Kybalion


"Pythagoras is often mentioned in Arabic philosophy and in gnomic literature. Jaldake calls him 'al-mu' lallim al-awival' because he acquired the science from hermetic texts.


SOCRATES {Teacher of Plato and Aristotle, also mentioned as an alchemist in Mark Haeffner's 'Dictionary of Alchemy along with these same people. Yet no anthology of Aristotle in my local library mentions his 'Secretum Secretorum'.}


Socrates is considered not only as a wise man but also as an alchemist {HIS teacher Archelaos was too.}. Jabir calls him 'the father and mother of all philosophers' and considers him as the prototype of the real chemist. From Socrates to Jabir, there is a continuous tradition which attributes entire treatises to him {All kept from unwarranted viewers.}. Jabir affirms that Socrates was opposed to writing down of alchemic knowledge to avoid its exposition to the ignorance of the masses. Most references to Socrates refer to his arithmetical speculations (theory of balance) and also to artificial generation {Homonunclus to be covered more later.}.


PLATO


In reference to his book the 'Liber Quartorum' he says: 'The contents of this book are mainly alchemic but it contains also information on geometry, physiology and astrology. The ancient authors cited are Aristotle, Ptolemy, Hipparchus, Proclus, the Sophists {Not alchemists and too open about their knowledge for the liking of Socrates who compared them to prostitutes who sell their beauty for money.}, Ostanes, Hermes, Asclepius and Hippocrates


ARISTOTLE


He wrote a book on alchemy for his disciple Alexander… It includes three chapters (l) About the great principles of alchemy; (2) Alchemic operations; (3) The elixir. Pythagoras, Democritus, Asclepiades, Hermes, Plato, Ostanes, and Balinās are mentioned in the text. We also have a dialogue between Aristotle and the Indian Yūhīn sent by the Indian king as messenger to Alexander...


Zosimus and his contemporaries {Third century AD. much after these others, and in line with what Barrett says.} who collected their predecessors' traditions insist on their connections with the Egypt of the Pharoahs or with the Persia of Zoroastra and Ostanes. We can find texts under the name of Agathodaiman compared with Hermes. Some written pieces even say that alchemic texts were engraved in hieroglyphs on steles {Stones that could be rubbed with charcoal and parchment would pick up the symbols and formulas - thus ancient libraries.) but it was absolutely forbidden to divulge them.


HERMES AND HERMETIC LITERATURE


According to Ibn al-Nadim (351, 19) Arab alchemists considered the Babylonian Hermes as the first one to have mentioned the art of alchemy. Exiled by his countrymen, he came to Egypt where he became king {Guilds and knowledge were prerequisites to achieve high office in ancient times, for example the Tuatha de Danaan leader - Lugh.}. He wrote a certain number of books on alchemy and was equally interested in the hidden forces of nature.


The 'Fihrist' gives a list of thirteen books of Hermes about alchemy but in fact some of them are about magic." (1)


At the very least we can be assured that someone knows alchemists weren't hermits hiding in caves working on making manure into gold. That is the way many books and even Time/Life Video portrays them. They called Carl Jung an alchemist as well. That may be, in some definitions of the word; but I never read where Jung thought of himself in that manner even though he wrote a book on Psychology and Alchemy. His interest was more in the archetypal primordial symbology, and the truth aspects of it. If we were to accept Jung as an alchemist, then all Masons or at least the high level ones in Rosicrucianism are alchemists. It is true that some of the attendees at Eranos were alchemists and that Jung was a hermeticist, I suppose. It is not an easy title to throw around and I have been a student of these things for many years, but still wouldn't call myself an alchemist and certainly not a Spagyricist.

I don't understand why this is labeled as "True Science". Is the writer of the above article a real scientist? Evidently not since alchemy is not a true science.

Alchemy is a true science whereas know-nothing science and direct inferential theorizing of some modern disciplines is not pure Observation using all available senses and perspectives. Try stepping outside the school where they sell BS and are paid to lie since the Palmer Raids and other institutional funding attacks on open-minded research sometime or read Morowitz's article called Rediscovering the Mind (a little of which I posted here) talking about Nobel Laureates who have learned the alchemists like Pythagoras, Socrates and Da Vinci or Newton knew more than your vaunted paid mouthpieces.

Here is the source of much of that posting.

The Encyclopedia of the History of Arabic Science, Technology, Alchemy and Life Sciences, Vol. 3, ed. by Roshdi Rashed, 1996, pgs. 854-859.

Needless to say his published Encyclopedia which I found in the Toronto Reference Library has a little more credibility than an anonymous nay-sayer who can only gutter-snipe.

Singing of the Spheres:


Is it merely ‘weird’ to suggest Pythagoras knew so much about harmonics that he could heal and do the fantastic things attributed to him? I think he had learned a little of much more that was once known and had been kept secret because of its potential for abuse. I have dealt with these things in greater detail in other books but here is a modern musician saying some things that suggest the same kind of insight Pythagoras learned.


“Brian E. Paulson is an award-winning composer and multi-instrumentalist whose music has reached people throughout the world.


His vast knowledge of studio techniques as well as MIDI technology has allowed him to create unique sonic sculptures using digital samplers, synthesizers, and a huge collection of world instruments such as gongs, the Australian didgeridu, Mayan flutes, African kalimbas, Native American flutes, and instruments of his own design.


Brian's ongoing research and musical projects are focused on the advancement of music as a powerful tool for the enrichment of one's mental, physical and spiritual well-being. In particular, music that affects coherency of the human energy field, which plays a very important part in the well-being of each and every one of us.


‘To develop a synergistic approach for stimulating the different senses, I am using music that correlates with the upper octaves of color and fragrance.’


Everything in the universe is energy. Its pulsating rhythms are outside and within us all. This energy moves in waves or cycles, never resting and appearing in endless variations from the waves crashing on the shore, to the ebb and flow of patterns within our minds. These vibrations (or energy) can manifest themselves in many forms; from the forms of sacred geometry (the soul and shape of nature) to the colors of consciousness as evidenced by photographs of auras revealing moods of the psyche. Therein lies an infinite array of vibrations, from the micro cosmos to the macro cosmos.


True healing is in accord with these primal and omnipresent energies. Although we are all unique and vibrating individuals with our own special needs, there are certain "key frequencies" which strike a resonance deep within to facilitate the alignment, healing and attunement of our minds, bodies and spirits.� (2)

Pythagoras learned a lot about the 'singing of the spheres' which could heal and do a lot more in his time studying the Pyramid.

Here is a biblio to one book I have done on the Pyramid builders. This particular book addresses the Great Pyramid almost exclusively.

They know the majority will find there is little behind the alien theory of building the Pyramid and they love to have these people work together, with credible sources that lead in appropriate directions. They also ridicule directly and by other means, including frauds like' 'This Old Pyramid' of the WGBH/BBC production which used forklifts and metal tools to make a small pyramid that moved in a few weeks (in the sand). Dr. Suzuki and CBC's 'The Nature of Things' was not told about the non-ancient methods or other lies, then the BBC took what they had edited, and now it is presented as fact to schoolkids throughout the whole world.

Not if a real scientist is one who imposes theory on what is OBSERVED - and that is the norm in academia but not in Quantum Physics, or among Inventors, and Nobel Laureates. But heck who wants to be a scientist - they are often wrong when they proclaim anything is absolute. There is no black and white REALITY. And when we have it all figured out as Hawking says - 'it will be understoos by the man on the street' because all the formulas are efforts toward the Theory of Everything which must be understood easily by all or it is mere theory and rationale.

The laws of universe were better understood by alchemists who gave modern man a science they have tried to fit into their political paradim - see the piece on Human RIghts by Sartre which I just posted under perspectives for a 'praxis' evaluation of the issue of forced or direct inference and make a cogent argument or analysis if you CAN (Ha!).

it just tickles me pink to watch RTB rant and rave about the grand educational conspiracy and the mystical nature of 'really real science'

The internet and computers and indeed all binary math can be traced to a copy made by an Egyptian Priest in 1650 BC from earlier work. The Quantum physicists who developed these technologies at the start of the 20th C were denigrated and attacked for being Atom Mysticists.

You bring up the Dark Ages - which actually started after the Trojan War and act as if this is the fault of alchemists - there is some truth that the esoteric elites have used it.

But you have no conception of why and how that is.

Glad to see the village idiot is 'tickled pink' and enjoying his brainwashed existence. This is because they created the education system to turn out egoists and miscreants rather than people who could think for themselves and see what is going down. There is a plaque on Jarvis Street in Toronto which states the Family COmpact did this to Canada and it is even worse in the States since the Palmer Raids. But you have not even heard about this effort that brought the top tyrant of recorded history to the US for 5 decades - J. Edgar Hoover.

"Morality as a Problem-A defect in personality revenges itself everywhere:an enfeebled,lank,obliterated,self-disavowing personality is no longer fit for anything good-it is least of all fit for philosophy."Selflessness" has no value either in heaven or on earth; the great problems all demand great love,and it is only the strong,well-rounded,secure spirits,those who have a solid basis,that are qualified for them"
-Joyful Wisdom

Now I ask you does an education system that encourages rote regurtitaion of sanitized for your protection factoids,over real thought ,capable of producing such an individual.Or does such an individual happen in spite of such a syatem?

Memorandum For The Record
White Paper on Anomalous Cognition and Prospects for World Peace, Part I
What's DAT All About?
by Doctor Why
May 24, 1996


I comment on two papers by Ed May and co-workers which appeared in The Journal of Parapsychology, Vol 59, September, 1995 i.e., "Applications of Decision Augmentation Theory" pp 221-250 (with James P. Spottiswoode, Jessica M. Utts and Christine L. James) and "Decision Augmentation Theory: Toward a Model of Anomalous Mental Phenomena" pp 195-220 (ditto sans C.L. James).


These papers like Hal Puthoff's "CIA-Initiated Remote Viewing Program at Stanford Research Institute" in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol 10, No 1, pp 63-76 (1996) are formidable challenges for any objective honest skeptics (e.g., Martin Gardner, Vic Stenger, Murray Gell-Mann, Carl Sagan) who claim there is no good evidence for precognition (i.e., accessing information from the future in violation of the, by now sacred, principle of "Einstein Causality" that causes are before their effects absolutely in all frames of reference). Furthermore, this research of Ed May's was supported by the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Department of Defense under much more stringent monitoring than conventional experimental work in high energy physics or even medical research. It must be taken seriously by professional debunkers of parapsychology if they wish to be taken seriously by the public, most of whom already believe in "psychic phenomena". If May's et-al extraordinary claims survive further testing, it means that a great restructuring of theoretical physics from "modern" to "post-modern" is in the offing. The new "anomalous cognition" data presented at the recent "Tucson II" consciousness conference at the University of Arizona is to 21st Century Post-Modern Physics as radioactivity, black body radiation, and the inability to detect motion relative to the aether was for 20th Century Modern Physics.


The bottom line from this hard-nosed experimental study by empirical "hands-on" raw-data oriented Faraday types who hold "high falutin" quantum theories of mind in disdain is that:


In fact, DAT leads to the idea that there may be only one underlying mechanism of all anomalous mental phenomena, namely a transfer of information from future to past. p. 198. This finding can be compared to that of Michelson and Morley toward the close of the 19th century that the motion of the Earth through the "aether" could not be detected. For the record, based on my "high falutin" quantum theory of the mind-matter interaction, I have been arguing for this conclusion for many years before I knew of these papers. Ironically, Ed May admonishes me in his cover letter of May 22, 1996 in the package that included his papers:


‘Both James (Spottiswoode) and I believe theories that do not quantitatively describe data are not just wrong, they are bad theories.’


The key word is "quantitatively". Ed has stated the case too strongly. Any physical theory that can in principle not describe significant data at all is, of course, a bad theory. But the mind-matter problem is a special situation since, until recently, it was widely believed that there was no fundamental theoretical object in modern physics that could possibly be a testable representation of "qualia" (i.e. subjective mental experiences). My theory gives a theoretical candidate for qualia in qualitative agreement with May's experimental finding. The qualia are excitations in the macroscopic coherent quantum Bohm mental "pilot wave" attached to the material vibrations of pumped "Frohlich collective modes" of electric dipoles in the microtubules inside living cells. Ed May, as well as Doctor Mulhauser et-al, has protested that "interactive decoherence" does not permit such long-lived spatially extended coherent quantum states to exist. There are three arguments against that premature conclusion. First, the Vitiello mechanism of an energy gap in the Frohlich modes one hundred times greater than room temperature. Second, the quantum Carnot effect in which the negative temperature of the population-inverted Frohlich mode creates a thermal shield of ordered water in a skin of a few nanometers thickness around the microtubule. Third, the role of error-correction codes for quantum computers which is now under intensive study by several independent research groups of well-trained physicists. But it is not my purpose to defend my theory here, but, rather, to heroically and selflessly, with uncharacteristic humility, defend May's experiments in spite of the fact that he insults me!


One can immediately see why the U.S. Defense Intelligence Community is rightly interested in this sort of thing. Aside from the use of psychically sensitive agents to get the edge on the enemy's actions before they themselves are even aware of what they will do, or to use precognition "quantum computing chips" to make money on the swift fluctuations in computer transfers of money in world markets, May et-al write about:


‘noisy diodes, radioactive decay, and other random sources... piezoelectric strain gauge(s) ... three-axis accelerometers, calibrated microphones, electromagnetic and nuclear radiation monitors ... air suspension table(s)’


This is a time when the USAF and the Naval Air Force are developing virtual reality head gear for fighter pilots directly controlled by their brain waves. Electronic equipment is getting increasingly delicate, and if a deviant brain wave in some undetected psychic could trigger an unauthorized nuclear missile launch, accidentally or by intention, by what May et-al call "anomalous perturbation" (AP) then we had better damn well understand the physics involved! Now I should make clear at this point that May claims that AP does not happen. What does happen is "precognition" hidden under the euphemism "DAT". We will examine this distinction in detail. May's conclusion is therefore very very important because it suggests that "loose cannon" psychics could not accidentally trigger World War III though they could see it coming! However, some of May's former co-workers warn that AP can happen. Indeed, there is no apriori reason why both AP and DAT cannot happen. Finally, let us not forget the "Butterfly Effect" instability of classical chaos theory now amplified by the practically instant information transfers through cyberspace on the Internet.


May et-al distinguish four possible mechanisms for their data.
1. "Mean Chance Expectation" (MCE) for data from an "unperturbed parent distribution with unbiased sampling".
2. "Anomalous Perturbation" (AP) expected in "an interaction of a 'force' type ... from a perturbed parent distribution with unbiased sampling".
3. "Decision Augmentation" (DAT) in which ‘Nature is unchanged, but the measurements are biased; that is, AC (Anomalous Cognition) has 'distorted' the sampling ... we have measurements from an unperturbed parent distribution with biased sampling.’
4 ‘Combination ... biased sampling from a perturbed parent distribution.’
Possible AC Mechanisms unbiased sample biased sample
unperturbed parent MCE DAT
perturbed parent AP AP and DAT


They consider a continuous random variable X with a normal probability distribution of given mean and variance. Suppose n unbiased measures and compute the new variable Y as the simple average over the n measures. They claim that the new random variable Y also has a normal probability distribution with the same mean as X but with a smaller variance than X by a factor 1/n. The quantity z is then defined as
z = (Y - common mean of X and Y)/squareroot of variance of Y
This z is supposed to satisfy a normal probability distribution with zero mean and variance = 1. The normalized equation for this is
p(z) = (1/squareroot 2pi) e^-z^2/2
So that expectation values of any function f(z) are the integrals from - to + infinity of f(z)p(z)dz.


They do a similar analysis for a discrete Bernoulli probability distribution with a given probability po to "observe a one". A discrete z score after n samples is then defined in analogy to the continuous normal case above etc. The mathematics looks fine to me, but I am no expert. I doubt that the professional psi debunkers will be able to punch holes in their mathematics at this stage.


The DAT model of "precognition" for z requires both a biased shift in the mean away from zero and a biased distortion in the variance away from 1. Similarly, the AP "force" model of "psychokinesis" for z only requires a shift in the mean i.e., "an AP effect size". There is no distortion in the variance in the case of force-like psychokinesis.


Let's discuss this before we go further with their analysis. The AP scenario is active in that some kind of mental force literally reaches out from the observer and perturbs the external objective physical process which could be the decay of a single radio active nucleus, the arrival of a single photon at a particular point on a photographic plate, the tunnelling of an electron through an energy barrier etc. In contrast, the DAT scenario, on the surface, is much more conservative and plausible because it is passive. There is no psychokinetic force on the objective external physical process, rather, there is precognition of information transmitted from that external process. This information need not come in the form of electromagnetic signals. No claim of that kind is made by DAT or AP. They are both top-down "black-box" purely empirical or phenomenological orderings of statistical data with no necessary connection to any bottom-up fundamental physics theory. This is both their strength and their weakness.


My quantum pilot wave theory of anomalous cognition (AC) is consistent with DAT and not with AP. There is a shift in the mean and a distortion in the variance of the quantum probability sampling distribution of the brain substrate of mind away from the orthodox Born MCE distribution by back-action which enables the "precognition" as shown, for example, by Valentini. But this biased sampling shift and distortion is inside the observer and has nothing to do with the external "parent distribution".


I am not claiming that AP is not ever possible. There may be exceptional circumstances in which a thermally protected mental quantum pilot wave of a material brain substrate can become Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen "entangled" with a quantum state of some external physical process in which the effective back action deviation from orthodox quantum mechanics is large. In such a case AP is possible. Therefore, the US Defense-Intelligence Community would make a grave error in not continuing their support of these fringe areas of "the New Physics". All I am saying is that I am satisfied that AP was not happening in the large amounts of data analyzed by May, Spottiswoode et-al. Their results IMHO, though not their manners, are impeccable. But, then again, who am I to complain like "Pot calling Kettle black!"


The original papers should be consulted for a large database of details that should be sifted through with a fine tooth comb by the professional psi debunkers. I accept these papers as factual. These papers are qualitatively backed up in independent studies of AC by Professor D. J. Bem , a former psi skeptic and stage magician at the Cornell University Department of Psychology presented as paper 432 at Tucson II, ‘The ganzfeld: a procedure for obtaining replicable evidence for an anomalous process of information transfer’.


Thus, to summarize where we are so far: Skeptics like Cal Tech's Nobel Physics Laureate, Murray Gell-Mann call all claims of AP or DAT "pseudoscience" and any attempt to use quantum mechanics as a theory is "The Story Distorted" (e.g., Ch. 12, The Quark and the Jaguar). Opposing Gell-Mann is another Nobel Physics Laureate, Brian Josephson, of England's venerable Cambridge University, who says that paraphysical phenomena are statistically well-established scientific facts. The small paraphysics community is now split between DAT and AP, as well as whether quantum mechanics is essential or irrelevant to the "anomalous cognition" phenomena. That's the way it is this day of May 24, 1996.� (4)

FUZZY LOGIC, A NEW SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM OR ANCIENT WISDOM ?

Fuzzy logic is a new kind of logic which attempts to embrace the totality of nature -- it allows for values between and including 0 and 1, shades of gray as well as black and white. Fuzzy logic posits a world in which absolutes, such as those implied in the words "true" and "false", are less important and interesting than what lies between them.
Fuzziness is grayness, the middle ground; it describes the world more effectively than the standard formal logic. In reality, few systems match the black/white, either/or dichotomy of Aristotelian tradition.
It is a world view more rooted in Plato and ancient wisdom.

You had to understand that true and false are not disconnect in fuzzy logic, yet, if the measure of one is.7 then the other is .3 The total interaction is measured as 1, yet it can become qute complicated entropcially.

You ahd to understand the neighborhood. Venn logic as wellas how transpersonal psycholgiy is being translted hgere. It up there inthe other threads. Type in the search function(?) Venn Logic?

Why entanglement needed to be understood as "Plectics" of Gellman.

Hello, Plato!
Are You misreading my message ?
It is clearly stated in it that fuzzy logic includes the whole range of options: 0 and 1 and all the values in between, black and white and all the shades of gray in between, true and false and whatever is possible in between.
And the thread is very relevant -- The Sages, True Science; in this case, it is Bart Kosko and his book "Fuzzy Thinking: The New Science of Fuzzy Logic".
Besides, what we´re having nowadays is The Unified Field of Knowledge, or The Unity of Knowledge, bringing different areas of knowledge together for a great synthesis.

Fuzzy logic has also been experimented with extensivly in artificial intelligence.

maximus 242,
Thanks for Your comment.
Would You like to tell us more about implications of fuzzy logic in artificial intelligence ?
We need a new vision and a new understanding !
