Kabbalah, Hermeticism and M-theory

By Michael Faust

M-theory, the latest attempt by scientists to formulate a grand theory of everything, is doomed to failure from the outset. Why? Because it ignores the unextended domain outside space and time, the domain of zero and infinity. M-theory explicitly sets out to prevent the appearance of zero and infinity in any of its equations. It is the last will and testament of materialism, its concluding grand folly before it confronts the truth of an immaterial partner to the material world.

So, here is the tale of the cosmos. We will take you on the strangest journey from Kabbalism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, Platonism, Neoplatonism, the Emerald Tablet, the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, the “perennial philosophy”, genies, Aristotle, entelechy, Forms and matter, mind and matter, universals and particulars, all the way to M-theory.

Judge for yourself who has the better answers regarding the true nature of existence: scientists or the Pythagorean Illuminati.

The Illuminati

THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under a pseudonym.

The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the Demiurge; an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God, and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.

If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his Chosen People, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the God of All entered into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he then despatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because they were indelibly marked by the Original Sin of Adam and Eve. Only the atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s son, Jesus Christ, could wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour were eligible for Paradise.

Of course, the Chosen People of God have almost entirely rejected Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd? Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?

Remember that this same God ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command, rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical believers.

Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however, you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific, mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.

Introduction

Before you can begin the adventure of a lifetime – discovering the truth of existence – you must first master a mathematical conundrum. Kabbalah (esoteric Judaism) is imbued with the importance of numbers and you can never understand it without an appreciation of numbers. However, it chooses to interpret numbers in terms of Jewish mysticism rather than sticking to the principles of mathematics.

All of the mysteries of the universe can in fact be reduced to a single mathematical question: do the numbers zero and infinity exist as realities rather than as mental abstractions? Are they ontological i.e. do they have an existence that impacts on the material world?

Descartes, the first modern philosopher, proposed that matter is extended while mind is unextended. He thereby mathematically divided existence into two domains; one consisting of entities with a size greater than zero (material objects), and the other consisting of entities with a size of exactly zero (mental objects).

The whole of philosophy, science and religion revolves around the existence, or otherwise, of zero-sized entities. Scientific materialism denies the existence of any such things i.e. it claims that Cartesian mind doesn’t exist. If mind can be said to exist at all, it’s rooted in matter and can have no independent existence.

Idealism, the opposite philosophical school to materialism, asserts on the contrary that only zero-sized entities exist and matter is simply a mental construct with imaginary dimensionality.

Zero is inextricably tied to infinity. Division by zero equals infinity and division by infinity equals zero. Therefore the existence of zero-sized entities inescapably summons infinity into consideration. Scientific forces that depend on division by the distance between two entities become infinite if that distance should fall to zero. In a black hole singularity, or the Big Bang singularity from which the material universe emerged, precisely this situation pertains – all entities within these singularities are separated by zero distance. All forces dependent on the inverse of distance become infinite when distance equals zero. Would Descartes, a brilliant mathematician, have regarded these singularities as instances of pure mind? Are black holes minds? Was the Big Bang singularity nothing other than the Mind of God?

Such is their aversion to zero and infinity that scientists declare that the laws of physics fall apart in a singularity. They maintain that something is wrong with the underlying theories and they must be incomplete. Why? Because zero and infinity are unacceptable to materialists since they destroy the entire basis of materialism that only finite, extended entities exist.

To talk of entities with or without extension is to conceal a more profound division. What Descartes should have highlighted is dimensional entities versus dimensionless entities. Material entities not only have extension, they also exist in space and time. Mental entities, on the other hand, have no extension and do not exist in the dimensions of space and time. They do not exist in the material universe, so is it any surprise that scientists cannot find any evidence of mind when they do nothing but apply but materialist thinking? It’s impossible for a materialist approach to reveal mind. It involves a wholly different paradigm.

Scientific materialists deny the real existence of the numbers zero and infinity in our cosmos while idealists assert that zero and infinity are the only numbers that have real existence in our cosmos. What’s the right answer? It is of course that ALL numbers from zero to infinity have real existence i.e. an unextended mental cosmos outside space and time co-exists with an extended material cosmos inside space and time. Every problem of philosophy, science and religion can be explained by the interaction of these two domains. That is the ancient wisdom of the Illuminati.

M-theory, the latest attempt by scientists to formulate a grand theory of everything, is doomed to failure from the outset. Why? Because it ignores the unextended domain outside space and time, the domain of zero and infinity. M-theory explicitly sets out to prevent the appearance of zero and infinity in any of its equations. It’s the last will and testament of materialism, its concluding grand folly before it’s finally forced to confront the truth of an immaterial partner to the material world.

Remember, this issue can be framed with absolute mathematical precision. If zero and infinity have real existence then scientific materialism is false. And why would they not have real existence? Isn’t it mathematical nonsense to assert that all numbers are real bar zero and infinity (and we could also add in i, the imaginary number, as a number whose ontological reality is denied by materialists)?

As soon as you grasp that single mathematical fact, you realise you are confronting the existence of God, souls and afterlife. These have their meaning in the unextended Cartesian domain outside space and time: the domain of zero and infinity. This domain is not separate from the domain of matter. The two are hard-wired together and constitute a synergic feedback system. The material domain is the familiar physical world and the mental domain that of information and thought. All of the information in the physical world is actually in the immaterial domain that exists outside space and time.

So, here is the tale of this extraordinary cosmos of ours. We will take you on the strangest journey from Kabbalism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, Platonism, Neoplatonism, the Emerald Tablet, the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, the perennial philosophy, genies, Aristotle, entelechy, Forms and matter, mind and matter, universals and particulars, all the way to materialism, Darwinism, and M-theory.

Judge for yourself who has the better answers regarding the true nature of existence: scientists or the Pythagorean Illuminati. The destiny of your soul is at stake.

Kabbalah

Kabbalah means the received tradition. It has been described as Jewish Gnosticism and is to mainstream Judaism what Catharism was to Christianity. It is enjoying a current fashionability and has attracted celebrity followers such as Madonna.

Kabbalah is an occult, mystical philosophy of rabbinical origin, based on esoteric interpretations of Hebrew Scriptures. It begins with the idea that God wishes to see God. Creation is the mirror in which he gazes at himself.

Like Hermeticism, Kabbalah subscribes to the
