Some suggested scientism instead of science.

I don't agree. Scientism has to go first, of course, but science itself, the materialistic idea that we are a body/mind, and the world is our reality has to be dethroned as well if we want to reach lasting happiness and peace.

Dethroning doesn't mean eliminating.

Just put it in its rightful place of simply being another mind-based illusion. Within the world of illusion, it has a place, and it can be useful, but there never will be any lasting happiness and peace achieved with an illusionary pursuit like science. It is only a distraction that prevents us from the real pursuit of spiritual realization of our true nature.

I acknowledge that this is a fringe position and don't expect anybody to agree with it. I just wanted to add that to the article. Thank you.

The Rockefeller’s deliberately changed medicine to suit their petroleum “habit” instead of allowing medicine to be natural & wholistic. That moment is when medicine/health/science went to shit.

Clearly we have become patently less healthy since that moment. People blame an unhealthy diet. I dont disagree the food is poisonous but I blame “medicine & pharmaceuticals” squarely as the culprit for declining health.

Doctors used to study intrinsic health and now they appear to study extrinsic health. Gates, harari and the other globalists don’t want us to be healthy. They want us to be more & more unalive until we die.

Human life has no value as we conclude by further ease & acceptance of abortion and assisted suicide.

Consciousness and vitality are trying to rise. I have seen more & more people awaken to its joys and simplistic harmony since the evils of covid satanism were released on the world.

All new technologies (like mrna, vaccines, chemicals, unnatural clothing fibers, computers, LED, and wifi) are killing that part of us that makes us alive. Porn, dopamine highs, and drugs are making each successive generation less & less resilient, tolerant & alive.

I hope that by putting this cognitive dissonance out there, we can wake up more people before totalitarianism & despotism take permanent control.

Thank you for penning this content and thank you to your other subscribers for reading & spiderwebbing these wisps of quiet insurrection to the universe. Good day and good health to all worldwide!

You are my favourite writer because you so elegantly and passionately express what I have been thinking for a long time.

Tonight I am in a competition for professional speakers here in the UK. My 8 minute piece (“The peace and power of an open mind”) challenges people to acknowledge that what they claim to “know” is based on 3 things: 1. Trusted Authority; 2. Social Proof; and 3. Confirming Evidence. None of these is reliable when: 1. Authorities can’t always be trusted (they may be lying because they are “well meaning” or misguided or corrupted); 2. Most people saying something does NOT mean it’s true (as history has repeatedly shown), 3. We LOOK for confirming evidence to support our belief because we desperately want some certainty in an uncertain world.

I think of certainty as a step that should be acknowledged as part of a bigger staircase where each level brings a higher, wider perspective than the previous. Wisdom comes from recognising ascending to higher perspectives is essential so we outgrow older, narrower ideas.

To arrogantly claim we “know” something actually costs us our freedom, peace and wisdom.

Hi Peter, thanks for your insightful comment. Nice to finally catch up personally. Doc Malik told me about you and that you actually put him on to my writing. Thank you for all your support, Peter, and I hope your speech is well received. I think it is a great, very relevant topic. Trust in the traditional authorities (State, MSM and science) has been eroded in the past five years. Some say it was deliberately (Erik Wikstroem) by the technocrats. My big concern is that this vacuum is now filled by AI. The way out for me is developing our innate authority, not through knowledge, but through spiritual practice and knowing our true nature. Good luck, Peter.

Thanks Markus

Your perspective mirrors my own in so many ways so it's comforting to know I'm not alone! I'd like to share a PDF document I wrote for doctors/researchers (I do a leadership module every september as part of their masters in clinical trials at Oxford Uni.). What's the best email address to send it to?

Also, I'm visiting Australia (my homeland) next year. Remind me what part of the country you're based in. Would love to meet up one day!

I didn’t realize you were Australian, Peter. I would love to meet you. I live near Port Macquarie. But I have a son living in Newcastle and another one living in Sydney, so we can also meet there. What do you call home? My email is markusmutscheller62@gmail.com. Looking forward to read you paper.

Thanks Markus.

Email on its way shortly...

My family (what remains) is in Adelaide.

I'm coming to a conference in Cairns in March but plan to visit Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and hopefully do some research/speaking whilst there (Late Feb to April, I think, but dates to be advised).

Well, if you travel by car from Brisbane to Sydney, you almost pass our house (10 min off the motorway). It is about halfway between Brisbane and Sydney, so you are welcome to stay with us if you want. Otherwise I try to meet you in Sydney.

Dethrone scientism

Good idea. How?

Well I was being kinda flippant because what really needs to go is the blind belief that The Science™️ is always settled. It never is, and never will be… theories always evolve as new discoveries are made (or deceptions are uncovered). There is huge value in the scientific method as it classically stands.

I agree. Covid-19 was ( I have pure evidence) the most scandalous and dangerous thing because of scientism. Do you agree or disagree?

Absolutely I agree. In fact, it's how Sane Francisco originated: https://sanefrancisco.substack.com/p/in-memoriam-the-navy-blue-venn-diagram and here is the NBVD, isolated:

Anything can be faked, even science or said to be something that it is not. There is no one watching what happens or what is said or claimed to be true. It comes down to being honest at the base level and even machines are programmed to be dishonest. Trust nothing and think for yourself. And some things are never honest...like all government and the medical mafia.

To me Science is a scam. A scientist cannot live or be heard without a backer. So back to graft we go, you push our narrative and we will pay you handsomely.

Great post brother. Scientists are the new priests of our high religion, simple as that, they have replaced the priest collar for a white lab coat. Any field that believes in testing their knowledge on defenseless animals is beyond barbaric and any good that comes from it will always be tainted, like Fauci and his love of abusing beagles for the pursuit of "science". I look at the world around me and see what science has accomplished: covid vaccines, social media, biometric surveillance, doctors who push pills, dopamine addiction via scrolling, seed oils, 5G tech, and, my favorite, data mining all of us for profit. Science is looked at like some benevolent god when it is the exact opposite, a tool of the devil.

In 1996 Carl Sagan was interviewed on television. He observed,

‘We’ve arranged a society based on science and technology,

in which nobody understands anything about science

and technology. And this combustible mixture of

ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up

in our faces. Who is running the science and technology

in a democracy if the people don’t know anything about

it? […] Science is more than a body of knowledge, it’s a

way of thinking. A way of sceptically interrogating the

universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility.

If we are not able to ask sceptical questions, to interrogate

those who tell us that something is true, to be sceptical

of those in authority, then we’re up for grabs for the

next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling

along.’ I quote Sagan in "The Bug in our Thinking and the way to fix it". It's on Amazon and on my website.

Sagan ignored his own findings because he didn’t like where they were headed…Was he a real scientists?

Agree with you for the necessity to reconnect with simplicity, Nature, common sense- and humility above all.

Let’s read your post adding after ”science” : ”as it is taught and practiced today !”

Stepping stone to what?

It wasn't a bestseller. I had a number of more successful articles, except for comments. It was just flooded with comments, that's all. It just polarized the topic. Many unsubscribed, and many subscribed. Net result: zero. No paid subscriptions.

I believe it is vital to distinguish between science & technology.

Pushing tech has nothing to do with science, but marketing.

Science is still science - but when they make tech out of it and insist we use it (like CBDC for example) - then it is evil.

I don’t agree, sorry. Science itself is also compromised and unspiritual in substance and therefore has to be treated with great caution. Just my opinon, of course.

Thank you for your insightful and challenging comment, Will.

You write:

"There is something deeply wrong with humanity in total, but we were thrown into a battle for reality. What's the truth, with science being the key players, knights,check, superstars priests etc."

Yes, absolutely....there is something deeply wrong with humanity in total, and finding "reality" is the only battle and quest there is. I agree with that. Always has, always will.

But I don't agree that science is a key player in finding reality at all.

To the contrary, it is one of the many dualistic mental veils that keep us from seeing reality as it is. And it doesn't matter if it is "good" science or "bad" science.

"So you're claiming you know what reality is. What the problem is, what the solution is, who's wrong."

To the contrary.

I don't claim to "know" what reality is because deeper reality, spiritual reality, and absolute truth are "unknowable".

All knowledge and relative truths are contained in our duallistically wired minds, ever changing. In that realm, we deal with ultimately imaginary and relative problems and solutions.

Maybe this helps to clarify my position based on my practice of non-dual spirituality. It is my position. Take it or leave it. It is a waste of time to argue about it.

Ultimately, in the relative, dualistic, mind-based, transient realm of appearing and disappearing manifestations, there are only temporary and ever-changing facts and truths. That is at the very core of dualism. On every topic, facts and truths swing between one position and the opposite position. For some issues it takes seconds, and for others trillions of years. This is an observable fact for anyone open and interested and is summed up in the saying: The only thing that doesn't change in the universe is change.

When people talks about ultimate truth, what they mean is never-changing truth, lasting truth, and bulletproof, unassailable truth. Pure logic and simple observation of the dualistic mental world or conception and perception tells us that this is not possible in this realm.

Science is firmly anchored in this mental-dualistic framework of our minds. We make sense of the world through opposites: black and white, high and low, true and false.

Impossible to find with science, I am afraid.

But there is absolute truth beyond this mind-based illusionary perception of the world. This spiritual absolute truth can only be found by each of us and within us. That’s my current understanding, which, of course, is also conceptual and mind-based and therefore vulnerable to time.
