Book Description
The New Way Is there a better way of doing physics that retains the best of current physics while going far beyond it? Physics is currently based on the claim – and claim it most certainly is – that physics deals with something real (let's call that real thing "matter", though there is no ontological definition of matter) and it can be somehow analyzed by an unreal, manmade abstraction, namely mathematics. But what happens if you accept a different assertion, one that makes mathematics not an abstraction but a concrete reality, an ontology? As soon as you make mathematics real, you cast doubt on the reality of matter. But do we need to make a definitive choice? Why not operate both systems – one based on mathematics as real, and one based on matter as real – and then try to find a way to synthesize these different views? Kant, with his transcendental idealism, sought to reconcile empiricism and rationalism. Ontics seeks to reconcile the empiricism of materialism and the rationalism of mathematics. Ontics, via ontological mathematics, gives mind a reality that is entirely absent in materialism. So, with science on the one hand and ontological mathematics on the other hand, body and soul, matter and mind can start to be brought together into a single system. Isn't explaining mind science's biggest challenge? Ontological mathematics provides that exact capacity! Isn't it time for the ultimate paradigm shift? Isn't it time for an intellectual revolution, for a true age of reason?!

Book Description
Eidomorphism: The World as Math and Representation is a book comprising a total system of philosophical knowledge, encompassing science, religion, mathematics, and logic. Eidomorphism is a synthesis of the philosophies of the Pythagoras, Plotinus, Spinoza, Leibniz, Schopenhauer and Gödel. Eidomorphism proposes a single mathematical substance as a unity of objective form and subjective content, united in unit-point entities outside of space and time. As a philosophical, mathematical, and scientific system and theory of everything, Eidomorphism unites quantum theory with philosophy, biology with psychology, and cosmology with first causes in a single, mathematical system based on the simplest and smallest entities imaginable. No stone is left unturned and no question is left unanswered in this mathematical answer to the riddle of the Philosopher's Stone.

Delete Hyperianism: The New Face of Cults In the Twenty-First Century
Author: Dave Sinclair
Publisher: Magus Books
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Articles by investigative journalist David G. McAfee, an expert on cults, have revealed what many people have been saying for years, that the New Age group known as "Hyperianism", with several hundred fanatical followers and two millionaire backers, is a dangerous cult. The leader of this cult calls himself "Morgue", a suitably cult-like appellation. Other names he uses are Morgen Night, the Night Bringer (89) and the Terror of Men. Hyperianism preaches a highly disturbing ideology revolving around Woke extremism, and it could easily be considered a hate group, encouraging people to say "No" to normality and to normal people. Hyperianism detests mainstream society. The leader of the cult is a gender radical preaching a message that androgyny constitutes a higher state, and he says that his cult is for people who are "higher than human", and "beyond human". He even says that he does not identify as human! His misogyny is self evident in this comment: "I can not count how many times some 'spray on tan' slut has inquired in disbelief why I dress the way I do, or do the things I do. 'It's not sexy', she informs me. Such stupidity makes me want to strangle the bitch. Why should I be concerned if other people find me attractive in any way? Should I change my identity, for a waste producing organ between the legs? ... Morbidly Yours, Morgue" This toxic leader constantly asks for financial support from people who are clearly highly vulnerable and being groomed by him. The sheer number of brainwashing techniques in evidence is astonishing. All his life, as a street performer and expert in NLP, Morgue has perfected the art of getting the weak-minded to pay him for "putting on a show". It's essential for whistleblowers to expose these sinister cults and their even more sinister leaders, who do enormous damage to susceptible individuals who are easily psychologically manipulated and exploited by those on the Dark Triad spectrum of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. This book is all about blowing the whistle on this dangerous cult and ensuring that people are warned about what they are dealing with should they ever encounter members of this cult or its sinister leader. Judge for yourselves whether Hyperianism is harmless, or a sick, twisted cult that people must be warned about to stop more falling into its trap.

Ontological Mathematics

Pages : 134
Book Description
Ontological mathematics is the rational core of Hyperianism. It's the science of the future that proves the shocking truth that the world is not material but a collective dream, that so-called "matter" is an illusion, and the ultimate reality is a domain of pure mind. This is not a belief but a deductive, mathematical certainty. Ontological Mathematics was originally leaked to the public via a controversial hidden society operating under various pseudonyms. Since then, it has taken the world by storm. Ontological mathematics isn't any one person's idea. It's a new way of thinking that is championed by the greatest thinkers of the age. Nearly 100 books have been written about it by various authors and independent ontological mathematics research groups are appearing around the world. Ontological mathematics and Hyperianism is a global phenomenon.We have made the groundbreaking knowledge of our system available to all by introducing the reader to the foundational concepts of ontological mathematics in an accessible way. This text assumes the reader has only minimal philosophical knowledge, and it is written in such a way that anyone can begin learning the mathematics of our system.Imagine living in a time and place where the Earth is believed to be flat and humans created by a god. Now imagine you discover a book containing many astounding facts of science such as the spheroidal shape of the Earth and evolution. How exciting would that be? As you read the book, your entire perspective of reality would change. Your world would never be the same. This is such a book.You currently exist in a time and place where existence is viewed as material. This book reveals that the world is in fact a shared dream. Ontological mathematics is the study of the mathematical wave nature of existence. This is not a reality of matter, rather, it's a reality mind, of thought. And what is thought? Thoughts are mathematical sinusoidal waves. So ontological mathematics is the study of the mathematical waveforms of mind that make up all of existence and your very being. The spacetime world isn't a material reality at all. It's the Holos, which is a mathematical Fourier projection from a frequency singularity known as the Source.When properly understood and integrated, the information within this text will change your existence forever and elevate you to a new level of consciousness. This is the science of the future that one day soon will be taught in every school throughout the world.You are a Mind. Existence is Thought. The World is a Dream. The Science of the Future is Here.

The God Game
Author: Mike Hockney
Publisher: Magus Books
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
What is the "answer to everything"? Pythagoras provided a glimpse of the answer 2,500 years ago when he declared, "All things are numbers". Mathematics is literally everything. Unlike science, mathematics offers certainty and absolute knowledge. Mathematics unifies science, religion and metaphysics and is the true Grand Unified Theory of Everything. No experiment can ever contradict a mathematical truth. Mathematics is the ONLY answer to everything. Mathematics is the ONLY subject inherently about eternal, Platonic truth. The God Series, starting with The God Game, reveals the astonishing power of ontological mathematics to account for everything. Isn't it time to convert to to the world's only rational religion - Illuminism, the Pythagorean religion of mathematics that infallibly explains all things and guarantees everyone a soul that's not only eternal and indestructible but also has the capacity to make each of us a true God? Isn't it time to become Illuminated? The God Series is what God ought to have delivered to humanity rather than the Bible. Knowledge rather than faith. Truth rather than fantasy.

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0861719719
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
In The Gateless Gate, one of modern Zen Buddhism's uniquely influential masters offers classic commentaries on the Mumonkan, one of Zen's greatest collections of teaching stories. This translation was compiled with the Western reader in mind, and includes Koan Yamada's clear and penetrating comments on each case. Yamada played a seminal role in bringing Zen Buddhism to the West from Japan, going on to be the head of the Sanbo Kyodan Zen Community. The Gateless Gate would be invaluable if only for the translation and commentary alone, yet it's loaded with extra material and is a fantastic resource to keep close by: An in-depth Introduction to the History of Zen Practice Lineage charts Japanese-to-Chinese and Chinese-to-Japanese conversion charts for personal names, place names, and names of writings Plus front- and back-matter from ancient and modern figures: Mumon, Shuan, Kubota Ji'un, Taizan Maezumi, Hugo Enomiya-Lasalle, and Yamada Roshi's son, Masamichi Yamada. A wonderful inspiration for the koan practitioner, and for those with a general interest in Zen Buddhism.

No Self, No Problem
Author: Chris Niebauer
Publisher: Hierophant Publishing
ISBN: 1938289986
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
While in grad school in the early 1990s, Chris Niebauer began to notice striking parallels between the latest discoveries in psychology, neuroscience, and the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and other schools of Eastern thought. When he presented his findings to a professor, his ideas were quickly dismissed as “pure coincidence, nothing more.” Fast-forward 20 years later and Niebauer is a PhD and a tenured professor, and the Buddhist-neuroscience connection he found as a student is practically its own genre in the bookstore. But according to Niebauer, we are just beginning to understand the link between Eastern philosophy and the latest findings in psychology and neuroscience and what these assimilated ideas mean for the human experience. In this groundbreaking book, Niebauer writes that the latest research in neuropsychology is now confirming a fundamental tenet of Buddhism, what is called Anatta, or the doctrine of “no self.” Niebauer writes that our sense of self, or what we commonly refer to as the ego, is an illusion created entirely by the left side of the brain. Niebauer is quick to point out that this doesn't mean that the self doesn't exist but rather that it does so in the same way that a mirage in the middle of the desert exists, as a thought rather than a thing. His conclusions have significant ramifications for much of modern psychological modalities, which he says are spending much of their time trying to fix something that isn’t there. What makes this book unique is that Niebauer offers a series of exercises to allow the reader to experience this truth for him- or herself, as well as additional tools and practices to use after reading the book, all of which are designed to change the way we experience the world—a way that is based on being rather than thinking.

We, the Drowned
Author: Carsten Jensen
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547504675
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 848
Book Description
Explore the wondrous sea and the oddities of human nature in this international bestselling, thrilling epic novel of a Danish port town. Hailed in Europe as an instant classic, We, the Drowned is the story of the port town of Marstal, Denmark, whose inhabitants sailed the world from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the Second World War. The novel tells of ships wrecked and blown up in wars, of places of terror and violence that continue to lure each generation; there are cannibals here, shrunken heads, prophetic dreams, and miraculous survivals. The result is a brilliant seafaring novel, a gripping saga encompassing industrial growth, the years of expansion and exploration, the crucible of the first half of the twentieth century, and most of all, the sea. Called “one of the most exciting authors in Nordic literature” by Henning Mankell, Carsten Jensen has worked as a literary critic and a journalist, reporting from China, Cambodia, Latin America, the Pacific Islands, and Afghanistan. He lives in Copenhagen and Marstal. “We, the Drowned sets sail beyond the narrow channels of the seafaring genre and approaches Tolstoy in its evocation of war’s confusion, its power to stun victors and vanquished alike…A gorgeous, unsparing novel.”—Washington Post “A generational saga, a swashbuckling sailor’s tale, and the account of a small town coming into modernity—both Melville and Steinbeck might have been pleased to read it.”—New Republic “Dozens of stories coalesce into an odyssey taut with action and drama and suffused with enough heart to satisfy readers who want more than the breakneck thrills of ships battling the elements.”—Publishers Weekly (starred)
