Consider the current state of science. You have a scientific establishment that has espoused a particular philosophical framework, which can be called scientific materialism. The prevailing thoughtforms that dominate the scientific community are that there is nothing beyond the material universe.

It is extremely important for many people in the scientific community, for many people in government circles and for many people among the public that science comes up with some ultimate proof of this philosophy. There are scientific experiments being conducted that are aimed at coming up with such an ultimate proof, as science can currently conceive of this ultimate proof and how to get it.

There is research into distant galaxies, the birth and the evolution of galaxies, such as what causes the birth of a sun, what causes the dissolution of a sun. Or is there something called black holes? What causes a black hole; are they the doorway to a parallel universe or what are they? There is research done into the cosmic background radiation that supposedly proves that the Big Bang did happen because it is the remnants of the Big Bang, or so the theory goes. There is an attempt to build ever more powerful machines that can accelerate subatomic particles closer and closer to the speed of light. It is assumed that if you can accelerate a particle to the speed of light, you will have the ultimate demonstration of how matter came into being. Yet, scientists cannot even agree on what a subatomic particle is so how can they actually know what it is they are trying to accelerate?

The current scientific paradigm defines the kind of experiments that scientists can see, and there is another paradigm that says that it is worth any amount of money to confirm the scientific paradigm. What if the very scientific paradigm that is the foundation for these experiments is fundamentally limited or even fundamentally flawed? Would this not mean that these experiments have no chance whatsoever of producing the result that is hoped for because the result that is hoped for is defined from an incomplete or flawed idea?

Would this not mean that all of these billions of dollars that are spent on this expensive research are, in fact (when you are completely honest and straightforward) wasted, completely wasted? (You can say that all of the research that is done will increase certain technological capabilities that might have effects that are actually practical or can produce results.) On the one side you have a scientific establishment that has a desire for an ultimate theory, the Theory of Everything, and on the other side you have a willingness to spend huge amounts of money on research that only seeks to prove the theory.

The people in the scientific and governmental establishments who are making the decisions to carry out these experiments and to allocate billions of dollars, they are sitting in their very comfortable offices, almost like in an ivory tower, or at least in a glass tower. They have huge salaries and secure lives because they feel that their position in the scientific establishment is secure, and so is their income and their retirement. They are living a very comfortable material life while completely ignoring that there are billions of people on this planet who live beneath the poverty level.

There are millions of children who starve to death every year from either lack of food or from malnutrition. There are numerous problems and cases where people live miserable material lives, yet the very same people who sit there in their comfortable material lives completely ignore this and are ready to allocate billions of dollars in research money to research these theories. Or to research weapons of how to kill people instead of directing their entire attention at solving the very real problems that people face on this earth.

Elitism and science

Would it really be wise to spend billions of dollars to send man back to the moon or send man to Mars, or would it be better to spend the same amount of money on improving life on this planet? Some believe that one day humanity will have used up the resources on this planet and they will have to move on to other planets in order to survive. There is nobody who envisions that they will be able to build enough spaceships to transport seven billion human beings to another planet. Therefore, they only envision building enough space ships for themselves, for the elite, and this is precisely the problem.

The problem is the elitist mindset. This goes back to the fact that there is a small group of manipulators on this planet who have a certain mindset. Obviously, the test is whether people will follow the manipulators, will people follow the elite, or will they stand up for themselves? The manipulators believe they are superior to others. In some cases, they are more sophisticated in their ability to abuse power. This is why they can impress people by certain abilities or by their magnetic charisma as the strong leaders, such as you have seen abundantly throughout history.

What you call the Judeo-Christian tradition or the three great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, have been ruled by a specific paradigm that actually is in some ways very similar to the paradigm that rules science. There is a belief in an ultimate theory, an ultimate belief system and an ultimate religion. Science and religion are not very different when you strip away all the outer camouflage and look at the psychology, the mindset, the paradigms behind them—which is the desire to define some ultimate truth.

Submission to the ultimate theory

This midset says: “Life in the material realm should submit to the ultimate theory. Human beings should submit to the ultimate theory and live their lives accordingly.” This is the demand of both the traditional religions and science. It was the demand of communism and it is the demand of capitalism in a slightly round-a-bout, very well-camouflaged way. The individual must submit to the corporation unless you have the old-fashioned corporations that are led by one individual, but then certainly all other individuals must submit, except of course the elite.

You see this, again, as the demand that all must submit, except of course the elite for they are above the law. This is the reason you have seen the three monotheistic religions systematically suppress and put down women, but have they only suppressed and put down women? Nay, they have suppressed and put down men as well, at least those men that are not part of the elite. It is not just a matter of men and women. Yes, there is a greater suppression of women than men and this must be corrected, but you cannot actually look at the issue of women separately and say: “What do we need to do to stop the suppression of women,” as some among the feminist leaders have done. You will never actually end the suppression of women until you also end the suppression of men because you end the mindset of the manipulators, so that it can no longer rule this planet and so that it is exposed for what it is: a perversion of higher awareness.
