Modern science has misled us in understanding, describing and accounting for the nature of what it is to be a human being.
Many people are aware that modern science is failing, and much focus has thus been placed on the manifold technical, reductionist and administrative failures of evidence-based science. As serious and profoundly harming as these problems are, they are in truth a mere symptom of a far greater ill – a level of reductionism that has had far more devastating impacts on our capacity to observe and understand life than we have yet fully accounted for.
Science, through the arm of the ‘science of evolution of species’, has trained us to believe in the notion that we, humanity, have developed to our current point of technological mastery from a starting position of lowly, animalistic ignorance. More than a belief, this concept is a thoroughly entrenched dogma, so embedded in our education system that few if any dare question or challenge it, even in their private thoughts. The process of our evolution has been cast by this science as a straight line; a trajectory from the most abject of starts to our vastly smarter present, heading into an advanced although unknown and unknowable future.
Since the time that a version of Darwin’s hypothesis took hold of our collective psyche, we have been told that our progress, our evolution as a species, can be irrefutably measured by the advancement of our technology, the sophistication of our thinking, our mastery over the planet and our penetration into the mystery of space. And who could refute such convincing evidence of our advancement? Our capacity to manage the fundamentals of life, such as the removal of sewerage from cities and the provision of clean water to its people (a phenomenon so fundamental to the quality of our lives few of us even consider how profound its impact), surely stands as proof of how far we have come in the mastery of life, how evolved we are as a species. Are not robotic surgery, exquisitely precise biological medicines, CAD CAM technology, satellite communication, phenomenally powerful micro-computing… the exponentially increasing list of our accomplishments a testament to how far we have advanced from such inauspicious ape-like beginnings?
The inescapable and ubiquitous presence of war, corruption, greed, social discord, domestic violence, physical disease (infectious and lifestyle related), addiction and escalating rates of psychological ill health suggest that this evolutionary model is more than flawed. It is broken.
And yet, should a person dare refute the belief that we have evolved to a far greater height than our primitive ancestry, they do so at the risk of ridicule by the majority of the scientific community. Our ability to precisely project backwards and recreate astronomical charts from the past has allowed us to understand the extraordinary intelligence at work in the building of great man-made structures of the past. Carbon dating of recently discovered archaeological sites has absolutely shattered the timing of our models of evolution. Growing knowledge of the global impacts of massive climatic phenomena have also provided compelling evidence that human civilisation is vastly older than once believed by a factor of more than 10,000 years.
These intelligent, cogent and accurate observations of fact are still met with disbelief and rejected because they cannot be reconciled against the belief that we were primitives and now we are not.
How has it come to pass that we fight so hard to sustain a belief that is neither serving us personally in daily life, nor supporting us to develop as a group of beings? What has been the impact of this belief on us as a species?
Can we not grasp that for all of our intellectual supremacy and our technological advancements, the quality of our lives is a testament to the fact that we have got this terribly wrong. Science has not yet freed itself of the dogma.
The situation is made more ludicrous when we simply allow ourselves to consider the tangible and irrefutable evidence of the great monuments of this planet – the Great Pyramids at Giza, the temples at Göbekli Tepe, the pyramids throughout South America. They reveal starkly and magnificently that our ancestors were far from the primitive creatures of our imagination; barely evolved from beasts, eking out an existence on this planet.
The people who built them were extraordinarily intelligent. This is self-evident. The intelligence behind the structures they built is one that cannot be measured by current assessment methods such as IQ or the more recently developed EQ system. They were great scientists. This ought to also be self-evident. The stone carvings of Göbekli Tepe, the placement of each stone, the alignment of the chambers and vents of the great pyramids to the stars and constellations – what more proof do we need to know that this a boundless science of breathtaking grandeur. It is beyond human. It is Universal.
It is a science that is exquisitely sensitive and responsive to all of life, one that we seem to have abandoned in favour of a reduced version – an intellect driven corruption that sets out to control and bend life to its will. The science of the ancients is Universal, yet it can be expressed through the human body that is lived in accordance to the way of its essence, its Soul.
This science was the legacy of our ancestors, yet we play a game of ‘fast and loose’ with the offering.
- We do not know how those ancient people built the great Pyramids of Egypt. Even theoretically, we cannot fathom how to reproduce the simple outer structure, let alone the magnificence of each pyramid’s inner temple anatomy – aligned with absolute precision to the great stars and constellations of the Universe. This ought to humble us; inspire us to turn within and ask of ourselves what did they have that we so clearly do not. Instead we invent fictions to fill the gap that our fixed scientific intelligence created and will not breach. We make up stories of slave armies, toiling for hundreds of years, breaking their backs to drag inconceivably enormous stone blocks many hundreds of miles. We conceive massive, steep earthen ramps, tree trunk rollers to account for the stacking of the blocks. These fictions have not only entertained us for centuries, they have most conveniently distracted us all from the humbling fact that even today, with our vast array of stupendous engineering technologies we cannot do today what they did then.
- Those who sit on the fringes of conventional science have created the fiction of kindly alien interventions – aliens who gifted primitive mankind with the bountiful, extra-terrestrial intelligence that allowed them to build these great structures. Conventional scientists roll their eyes with contempt, in spite of the silly nature of their own ideology. Other people believe the alien story might be true, hoping for the same aliens to return and help us with our looming environmental catastrophes. Both miss the crucial point. The intelligence that sourced these great structures is omnipresent as it is ever-present – it is as accessible today as it ever was then.
- Even if we did manage to produce a facsimile of the great stone structures of Gobekli Tepe, our rendering would be nothing more than a ‘monkey see, monkey do’ corrupted mockery: the sophistication of laser carving might fool the eyes, but the structure itself would be utterly devoid of the multidimensional, graceful brilliance, the depth of true enrichment to the lives of those who behold it. For this can only be sourced from one source – the Wisdom of God that can only be accessed by those living in connection to the innermost of their being; their nous.
- When all other conceptions fail, we leap to the emptiest human-conceived convenience of all time – the idea that these great structures were the product of coincidence and random good luck. Somehow, these hunkering, ignorant ancestors of ours ‘lucked out’ – struck upon some magic formula that allowed them to build the great structures of Egypt, Turkey, the South Americas, Easter Island and other places on this globe. The reliance on the concepts of randomness and luck is an abuse of will, long familiar to us all. We have used both to account for and excuse our errant pathways into disease and social decay and to deny the fact that there is an intelligence we could so simply access should we choose to align our Will to an otherwise known (and so readily knowable) source.
Can we continue to deny who and what we truly are?
Can we continue to uphold the charade of false evolution, making optimistic markers of progress out of gadgets that serve naught in truth other than to distract us from the acuteness of our suffering and mass failure as a species?
Can we continue to deny the vast, multidimensional, heavenly-sourced and true intelligence that is so clearly and undeniably represented by those great structures?
How long are we willing to maintain the charade? Prop it up with the ludicrous mental gymnastics that make a mockery of the fact that the pure brilliance of God shines its glory, as bright as any star, when we live from connection to the purity of essence we in truth are.
It is for science to awaken itself from its self-induced coma, to address with humbleness, grace and dignity the truth it has long denied. In doing so it will not save humanity, for it cannot. It can however inspire each and every one of us to do the same; to humbly turn within, seek for ourselves the magnificence of our Soul and the greatest of all Sciences.
For the fact is very simple. Without humbleness and deep connection to the innermost of our being, we seal ourselves off from connection to the only source of wisdom, God, the divine. The travesty is that this source has always been available to us all… in every era.
This is the truth to which those monuments bear testimony.
It is by pure grace that our bodies will not sustain this lie indefinitely – through the particles that make us answer to a far greater science and order than our educated minds can conceive. Neither will the body of our planet allow our graceless ignorance to continue, for it too inevitably answers to the One who created it.
At some point – whether it is by personal/planetary suffering, or by the simple acknowledgement that we have utterly failed – we will seek to arise ourselves back to our true origins. For always they have lain like a dormant but ceaselessly vital seed, deep within us. At that moment, the moment of reconnection to the innermost, true intelligence is reignited. We rediscover what we knew so long ago – that science is the omnipresent magnificence and order of God, contained within all that is. This grandness is inescapable, although as we all (every member of humanity) have proven it can long be ignored. Is this not the nature of ignorance?
At this inevitable juncture, we will know that evolution was never a journey to an unknown and unknowable destination. It was always the return to that from which we departed.
Let us bring the greatest depth of wisdom we can to the markers of the Ancients. Let us not waste energy on our childish fictions or distract ourselves with gobsmacked but empty awe. Let our hearts, at long last, hear the Song of Truth – those monuments are the beckoning call home to the great Science of God, the Science of a One Unified Truth, and the long-awaited return of Glory for mankind.
