A Case for Supernatural Plausibility

       There are no easy answers. However, Atheistic Materialism offers the easiest of answers by playing semantic games to say, “There is no Supernatural agency”, but masking it by saying, “We assert nothing. We merely lack any belief in Gods.” It doesn’t exactly require a degree in philosophy to recognize the egregious degree of semantic Sophistry in this approach to language and science. Somehow, they think by shifting the emphasis away from making an absolute assertion that the Supernatural does not exist to a feckless, more neutral answer that they merely see no evidence for any Gods, that they have escaped the responsibility to soberly look at the issues within Metaphysics. It's like a child denying that he has to clean his room and living in the fantasy that he, indeed, does not have to. Meanwhile, he is getting spankings and grounded repeatedly by his parents for not cleaning it. He lives in the delusion that just because he ignores the issue, it does not exist.

This is analog reveals the relationship between Atheism and Theism. Theists will never go away just because some little innocent lamb, Atheist has declared that they are not required to look at Metaphysics. That room must be cleaned. 

Contrary to what we are told, contemporary physics is not booming. It is not very near to omniscience, it is not the crown jewel of anything. In fact, it is near death. It has been damaged by any number of things, but the prime murderer has been abstract mathematics. Physics has succumbed to suffocation. It is the victim of strangulation. It is in a not-so-shallow grave and piled on top of it like dirt are a thousand fields and operators and variables, and names, and spaces, and terms, and eigenvalues, and dimensions, and criteria, and functions, and coordinates, and conjugates, and base, and bijective maps, and automorphism groups, and abelian gauge fields, and Dirac spinors, and Feynman diagrams, and so on, ad nausea.

       Physics is not the Oracle of Wisdom and Infallible Pope that it claims to be, as it concerns itself with Metaphysics and anything that claims Supernatural causation. Physics floats in thin air with so many delusional speculations and unsupported theoretical fantasies that it is becoming indistinguishable from science fiction

        Nikola Tesla said once: “Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.” ― Nikola Tesla

       And that was many years ago. Just think of how far off the beaten path science is now? I mean what are they even talking about now in Astrophysics...Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Big Bounce Theory....just anything they can conjure up with speculative mathematics to support other speculative theories of the Cosmos, that was built upon previous fantastic speculations, bolstered up with more mathematics, which, in turn, rest upon previously unsupported theoretical fantasies.

       All of this stem from what I call, the Scientism Delusion. The Scientism Delusion is the archaic belief that science already understands the nature of reality. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. Modern Science is being constricted and constrained by materialist assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. The old 'scientific worldview' has become a religious belief system for some still operating out of a Dark Ages, mechanistic view of reality.

       “All reality is material or physical” it asserts without evidence. “The world is a machine, made up of dead matter” it claims with zero authority. The fact that human consciousness is producing such a claim is, in itself, a huge thorn in the Material Atheist’s fantasy of a dead, mechanistic, and randomly purposeless world. How could a cognition and thinking engine as powerful as the human mind have its causation and etiology in dead, mechanistic, and randomly purposeless matter? The answer is it cannot, and Atheistic Materialist sit dumfounded with vacant stares, staring at the edifice of amazingly complex and well ordered, pattern-driven, Laws of Physics, the complexity of the human brain, and finely-tuned DNA Molecule, and they strain and struggle for some materialistic explanation for it all that might be anchored in a dumb, random, mechanistic machine. But they fail repeatedly. They cannot make their Dumb Random Matter Cosmological Model work, ever. It's like junk DNA. Atheistic Materialism is archaic, Dark Ages, nonsense.

       They will claim it is a Strawman attack on their ideas to suggest that this is their model, and out of the other side of their Janusian mouths, they will assert it is the ONLY model that has real scientific validity. Atheists have never been a stranger to hypocrisy. When cornered, they evade, they deflect, they ignore, they ad hominem you to death, if they can.

       Then out comes the innocent little victim ploy: “I simply lack any belief in Gods, etc..” ...the typical party line that resounds like a stock answer on a game show in the echo chamber of Atheistic blogging.

       “Nature is purposeless” Atheists arrogantly pontificate to people who already embrace intelligent meaning in their lives, in their studies, in their art, in their children, in their scientific investigation into reality. Their hubris is truly mind-numbing.

       “Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion.” God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. Atheistic Materialism seeks to strip people of their purpose and value by reducing them to a meaningless, purposeless, random, chaotic, material driven, instinct enslaved, chance event in a vast material cosmos of mechanistic nonsense.

       The nonmaterial, field-based discoveries of quantum physics, where the quantization of discreet energy was once thought to be the ultimate truth, at least at the Planck Scale, are being uprooted by mathematical probabilistic understandings of reality that point to a metaphysical causation to matter and reality. The language similarities between metaphysics, theology, and quantum science are approaching an uncannily revealing congruence.

       Materialists claim that any similarities between metaphysical language and scientific descriptive syntax are at best, coincidental, and at worst, simply co-opting experimental setting and results that have neither been named nor implied by science, and for purposes that have nothing to do with quantum physics or with science.

       Materialists claim that Metaphysics is mistakenly conflating verifiable scientific findings with unverifiable, mystical and non-scientific fantasy. They say that this is a well-known gambit in which one tries to acquire verity-authority from science for an otherwise clumsy metaphysical assertion. They say that Metaphysics goes so far as to use the word ‘prove’, claiming ‘Quantum Physics Proves that… [ insert falsely mysterious conjecture here]’. They say such people are catastrophically confused about the nature of language, science, Quantum Mechanics, and their own ability to form intelligible suppositions.

       But is this really true? Is Metaphysics actually hijacking modern quantum theory to assert its own speculative, quantum mystical assumptions and project mystical interpretations onto overtly unmystical, material causations and events?

       In response, I would have to say yes and no, with a subtle wink to Erwin Schrödinger. The cat is potentially both dead and alive. Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. The scenario presents a cat that may be simultaneously both alive and dead, a state known as a quantum superposition, as a result of being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. Schrödinger coined the term Verschränkung (entanglement) in the course of developing the thought experiment.

       And, in the spirit of Schrödinger paradox, we cannot say conclusively that quantum investigation leads to metaphysical conclusions, but, simultaneously, we can say conclusively, and scientifically, that quantum research leads to an increased plausibility in the likelihood of metaphysical causations and explanations to physical phenomena. And so no, quantum science does not absolutely mean that a Supernatural field of causation lies beneath the visible material world. Yet also, yes, it absolutely does reveal the potential or possibility for such a Metaphysical agency to exist.

       Certainly, I agree that our propensity for the ‘mystification’ of scientific findings continuously spawns a florid variety of ‘misappropriated science’ cults (and ersatz ‘gurus’) that thrive on spinning physics concepts into ‘exciting metaphysical models’… or upon using scientific language in order to falsely substantiate poorly formed or even ridiculous claims. Often, people simply claim that their bizarre correlations are facts. ‘Because of science…’

       Fritjof Capra made a huge splash in the Metaphysical pond many years ago with his Pseudoscience, pop quantum physics book, The Tao of Physics, which made wild largely unsupported claims regarding the similarities between Eastern Mysticism and Wester Quantum Science. Easter mysticism is replete with occult assumptions about reality, and quantum physics does not actually verify or supports these occult claims.

       Nevertheless, what Capra did is open the dialogue between Metaphysics and Quantum science. He carefully introduced the plausibility that what western science was discovering in their quantum thought experiments and quantum mathematical and theoretical models had a close semblance to what ancient thinkers has revealed in their thought experiments and observations of reality, as they perceived it. Whether easter occultism or western quantum science are equally anchored in any Absolute reality, who can say. There is as much mathematical mumbo-jumbo in western quantum science as there is voodoo occult conjecture in eastern mysticism. They both tell a mighty big fish story about reality, and all bets are off when you get to that level of theoretical description about the world.

       And I as I talk about in my book, the Scientism Delusion, it swiftly becomes blatantly obvious that much of what we regard as actual science in the quantum arena, is indistinguishable from Hermetic and Kabbalistic doctrine and philosophy. They appear, in fact, at many nexus points, to be one and the same. Entanglement, Superposition,

       All of these quantum ideas can be found in The Emerald tablets of Hermeticism, and Lurianic Kabbalistic texts and The Zohar.

Esoteric Occultism and Kabbalistic doctrine, essentially teaches that four fundamental forces—gravity, weak pull, electromagnetism and the strong pull—finally merge into one force as a Unity. And what do we the Standard Model of Physics teaches... that four fundamental forces—gravity, the weak force, electromagnetism and the strong force—finally merge into one force as a Unity.

       The Kabbalah speaks of no less than Ten Dimensions of reality. And how many dimensions does Superstring Theory talk about? You guessed, Ten. Superstring Theory amounts to a recounting or retelling of ancient occultism more than actual empirical science.

       The similarities between Eastern Mysticism and quantum science are unmistakably obvious the more you compare them. This does not mean that Quantum Science is discovering the same things that ancient mystics discovered or verifying mystical conclusions. Actually, what this points to is that Modern Science has repackaged occult ideas and rubber stamped them as actual science.

       What might help to demonstrate that as true, though? Well, aside for the statistical probabilities of correlates that increase the likely connection between esoteric occultism and Modern Science, there are the huge amount of quantum pioneers that were either directly involved or influenced by Eastern European Kabbalistic thought and Hermetic and Alchemical doctrine and occultism.

      It is no surprise that when you look into the background of these pioneering Quantum Physicists and Physicists, as well as other scientists and New Age science gurus, you see a peculiar array of occult influences and connections. The following Quantum Physicists and writers on the topic have occult influence and/or teachings:

1.       Sir Isaac Newton                                                                

2.       Carl Linnaeus

3.       William Crookes

4.       Alfred Russell Wallace

5.       Ross A. Slotten

6.       Oliver Lodge

7.       Jack Parsons

8.       Carl Gustav Jung

9.       Nikola Tesla

10.     Charles Richet

11.     Pierre And Marie Curie

12.     Camille Flammarion

13.     The Wolfgang Pauli

14.     Neils Bohr

15.     Max Planck

16.     Fritjof Capra

17.     Deepak Chopra

18.     Gary Zukav

19.     Fred Alan Wolf

20.     David Bohm

       That is a lot of occultism and occultists in Quantum Physics! If one were a true scientist, one would immediately recognize the sheer statistical impossibility of just about every mover and shaker in the pioneering creation of Quantum Physics to just happen to be an occult enthusiast. Clearly, these physicists carried an occult Kabbalistic and Hermetic Alchemical bias everywhere they went. They created a pseudoscience called Quantum Physics, which was simply a repackaging of their occult presumptions and beliefs about The World, born from the womb of their occult religious ideologies.

       How come we are not hearing about this when Atheist Scientists brag about how their theoretical domain are so anti-supernatural, and all so completely materialistic?

       We also see how Quantum Mysticism has merely repackaged Kabballah in the pseudoscientific books that have come out with unproven assumptions of a mystical Eastern nature...hence all the Tao of Physics type books describing modern science.

       In short, Quantum Mysticism appears to merely be repackaged esoteric and occult doctrine, and the real question is are either of them truly accurate about their fantastic presuppositions of a Supernatural causative interpretation of the world? My contention is that Modern Science is attempting to exhibit and propose a kind of Quantum Mystical religion to the world. This is why so many quantum pioneers and early physicists had Alchemical, Hermetic, and Kabbalistic influences. All along, Modern Science has been attempting to execute a New Age Quantum Mystical religion based in what I call Scientism, which is merely pseudoscientific occultism.

       Your average scientist has no idea this is happening, of course. As in the military, science is governed on a need-to-know basis with highly structured compartmentalization. The scientist or engineer in Lab-C, making circuitry for the D-WAVE Quantum Computer, was not handed a memo which said: “We hope someday to use your contribution to this project to enslave mankind in a Techno Digital, Artificially Intelligent, Elon Muskish, Neural Link, Mental Prison. Thank you for your diligent contribution and efforts!” No he just makes widgets and tries to stay in line, lock-step, with whatever other mainstream scientists are telling him in order to keep tenure at his post at Harvard, and also to attract his science buddies to pat him on the back for his “contribution to science”.

       In science, the Gate Keepers of peer review are an Atheistic weapon, and the field is monolithic. Get out of line, and be prepared to be blackballed, and castigated beyond imagining. Mention the plausibility or possibility of Metaphysical explanations to physical phenomena, or Supernatural implications to your data, postulates, or models and you can say goodbye to that Professor Emeritus title you had coveted in grad school.

       Atheistic Science is a Fundamentalist religion, with all the dogmatic rules, regulations, strictures, and punishments of any Fundamentalist religion. In the name of the scientific method, you will be lacerated beyond recognition for transgressing the holy writ of the Scientism Priest's dogma.

       And so, if Quantum Mysticism and esoteric occultism are merely finely spun fantasies with fantastic mathematics to push and support their illusions, then is there a metaphysical substrate, apart from such a merging of science and occultism? My contention is that there are good plausible reasons to believe that Metaphysical substrates and antecedents exist beneath the material veil of the world, for the reasons I have presented. Further, it is reasonable to assert this based upon the mounting evidence I see in a multidisciplinary approach using, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Physics, Theology, Science, and Quantum Mechanics. Nothing is absolute, of course. But one would have to ignore so much data to absolutely discard the probability, possibility, and plausibility of a Supernatural agency at this point, that it would be tantamount to scientific fraud.

       Atheistic Material is extremely rigid, narrow, and myopic. It aims to intentionally ignore anything that invalidates its narrow, materialistic view of the world. I see it guilty of brandishing a Methodological Naturalism Confirmation Bias, and it is, clearly on its way out.
