The Ignoble Origins of Science

Scientists delight in disparaging mystics and those on spiritual
quests. Though they may concern themselves with ethics as individuals
and in an ad hoc manner, few scientists will allow that one's moral
and/or spiritual orientation or level of development will affect the
outcome of one's experimentation or theoretical calculations. Most
scientists will tell you that the saint and the scoundrel will produce
the exact same results in a laboratory if both keep to exactly the same
algorithms.

This and more, most scientists are of the opinion that those who are
spiritually inclined are those who are not capable of rigorous
"scientific method" and/or "higher mathematics".

I will demonstrate that the very inverse is the case. Science is none
other than degraded mysticism. Science was created for those who were
not able to perceive or appreciate the depths of existence with awe by
those who had this ability and wished to protect their Wisdom from
non-initiates who would attempt to plunder their spiritual riches and
use them for debased purposes. Science is, and was, created expressly
for those who do not possess the ability to look into the Soul of
matter. Science was a device for keeping the attention of those who
could not be initiates into the secrets of Truth busy with what they
imagined were very esoteric matters, but which were, in truth,
meaningless activities.

It is commonly agreed that alchemy is the progenitor of science.
Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy
As we can see alchemy is called "protoscience" and alchemists
"pseudo-scientists".

But what was alchemy? From whence came alchemy?

The answer lies here: "But it (Hermetic Philosophy) is not found in
books, to any great extent. It has been passed along from Master to
Student; from Initiate to Hierophant; from lip to ear. When it was
written down at all, *its meaning was veiled in terms of alchemy and
astrology so that only those possessing the key could read it aright.
This was made necessary in order to avoid the persecutions of the
theologians of the Middle Ages, who fought the Secret Doctrine with
fire and sword; stake, gibbet and cross.* Even to this day there will
be found but few reliable books on the Hermetic Philosophy, although
there are countless references to it in many books written on various
phases of Occultism. And yet, the Hermetic Philosophy is the only
Master Key which will open all the doors of the Occult Teachings!

In the early days, there was a compilation of certain Basic Hermetic
Doctrines, passed on from teacher to student, which was known as "THE
KYBALION," the exact significance and meaning of the term having been
lost for several centuries. This teaching, however, is known to many to
whom it has descended, from mouth to ear, on and on throughout the
centuries. Its precepts have never been written down, or printed, so
far as we know. It was merely a collection of maxims, axioms, and
precepts, which were non-understandable to outsiders, but which were
readily understood by students, after the axioms, maxims, and precepts
had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates to their
Neophytes. *These teachings really constituted the basic principles of
"The Art of Hermetic Alchemy," which, contrary to the general belief,
dealt in the mastery of Mental Forces, rather than Material
Elements-the Transmutation of one kind of Mental Vibrations into
others, instead of the changing of one kind of metal into another. The
legends of the "Philosopher's Stone" which would turn base metal into
Gold, was an allegory relating to Hermetic Philosophy, readily
understood by all students of true Hermeticism."* Source:

Now we see that alchemy was the result of people who did not understand
the allegories of mystical principles of mental states trying to put
into practice the *allegories* that the principles were written it.

Alchemy was a wild goose chase that those who could never be initiated
into higher truths but wished to use Wisdom for debased purposes were
sent on. And science it alchemy's child!

To this very day it is true that most scientists are people who are
incapable of peering beyond the physical into the moral and the
spiritual. They are people who not only cannot see the Soul of matter,
they disdain those who can and say that those who claim that they can
see inner dimensions of reality are deluded or lying for cynical
reasons.

Science is for those who can only see with their physical eyes. Science
from its inception was, and is, for those whose eye of the Soul is
blind.
