Isaac Newton Unveiled, Pt. 2

From I. Newton to H. Himmler
Philosopher M. Polanyi observed, “Newtonian physics and Darwin’s notion of the survival of the fittest were key elements both in the Marxist concepts of class warfare and of racial philosophies which shaped Hitlerism and scientific world view.”
Newton's identification of gravity with spiritual body of Jesus Christ inspired the following genocidal passage in Guide to the Vatican Museums (Gestione Vendita Publicazioni Musei Vaticani, Citta del Vaticano. 1979, o. 12): “ It was this spirit which inspired the creation of two of the most illustrious of the humanistic institutions of the Holy See: the Vatican Library and the Vatican Museums. Both were the outcome of a vision of Graeco-Roman culture as the perfect, almost timeless expression of human creativity at its highest levels - thought and art - and as the precursor, at times almost the prefigurement, of Christanity, above all in the West.” People who write like that must believe in Second Coming of A. Hitler. John Paul II's rehabilitation of heliocentrism and evolutionism should be decoded in the context of the above observation by M. Polanyi. The desire to create a Palestinian state on the ruins of the Jewish state dictated John Paul II his double rehabilitation. Periodically a pope weeps that there is still no Palestinian state and US peace makers rush to the Middle East to create one.
M. Palmieri in his book The Philosophy of Fascism, (Chicago 1936).argued : “The triumph of the idea of Order, of Authority, of equal justice under Law, saw the Empire of Augustus and of Trajanus give to mankind (!) for the first and only time in human history the life-enhancing blessing of political unity. The triumph of the Catholic Idea of salvation in Christ and through Christ and His Church saw the Empire of the Church give to mankind the life-inspiring blessing of spiritual unity. A spiritual power generated from those great Italian spirits who have been in the past the assertors of Rome’s immortal and eternal right to Empire, and the prophets of Rome’s third form of Empire, is the leaven which has brought about that fermentation of spiritual forces called Fascism… Providence chose the Italian land for this high destiny, nourishing a spark of divine truth in it “ab antico” and molding there a race wonderfully adapted in genius and intelligence for subjecting the whole world in Christian obedience…Italy is the priestly nation among the great body of redeemed peoples…Nor did the inhabitants of this peninsula give to other peoples merely divine gifts, but also every other civil and human good, and all the great intellects of Europe, who enhanced in any measure the glory of their countries, lit their lamps at the living flame of Italian genius.” Which means that the Christianity prefigured by the classical culture is perennial fascism.
Amazingly, H.H. Chamberlain in his “Foundations of the XIXth Century” observed, with an unprejudiced consideration: “Nothing will be falser than to regard the Jewish influence in the creation of Christianity as merely negative, destructive and pernicious. If we look at the matter from the Semitic standpoint, which with the help of any Jewish religious doctrine we can easily do, we shall see things in exactly the opposite light: the Helleno-Aryan element as the undoing, destroying force that is hostile to religion as we already observed in the case of Pelagius who tried to emancipate man of God by free will. An unprejudiced consideration will show us that the Jewish contribution is very important and almost indispensable. Nothing entitles us to assume that Hellenic speculation, Egyptian ascetism and international mysticism, without the fervor of the Jewish will to believe, would have ever given the world a new religious ideal and at the same time a new life. Neither the Roman Stoics with their noble but cold, impotent moral philosophy nor the aimless, mystic self-negation of the theology introduced from India to Asia Minor, nor the opposite solution found in the neo-Platonic Philo, and Hellenic thought, deformed by senility – none of these, obviously, would have led to the goal. The Jewish religion is disinclined to all conversion, but the Gentiles, impelled by longing for faith, went to it in crowds.”
Perverted minds of the Nazis concluded in the light of this passage, that in order to get rid of religious faith, the Jews must be exterminated to the last one. They called H.H. Chamberlain der Seher des III Reichs (the prophet of the III Reich).
Obviously, John Paul II was not impelled by longing for faith. His poetry, philosophy, science, mysticism, mythology testify to an unworldly, speculative tendency of mind, which produces in the case of all philosophers that proud contempt of life which makes it possible for the Indian sage to lay himself while still alive in his own grave (like John Paul II’s beloved hero now saint M. Kolbe), and which received monumental expression in the 19th century in Schopenhauer’s doctrine of the negation of the will to live embraced by the Palestinian “Martyrs’ Brigades”.
In Hindu Pantheism the universe is evolving from the central Sun, the POINT (puru, like that of Big Bang), the ever-concealed germ. The central Sun is Deity – the World Soul. It is also the Chakra or circle of Vishnu.
Newton wrote his formula for the pull of one mass on another under the assumption that each mass is concentrated in a point. It's as if God took the sun and the planets in His mighty hands and squeezed them as small as He could. This assumption is, of course, an idealization because point masses do not exist, but it greatly simplified Newton's task because it eliminated the need to deal with the dependence of the force of gravity on the sizes of two interacting bodies.
The Jesuit R. J. Boscovich who was 16 when Newton died validated Newton's assumption by reducing atoms to dimensionless, structureless mathematical points, surrounded by forces. Boscovich's atom reached out into space via forces radiating from it. In one of his poems Cardinal K. Wojtyla wrote: “I became a channel, unleashing a force called man.” Maybe, like that of a Godzilla. A rabbi unleashed a force called Golem, but only in a legend.
In the Gospel of John Jesus is Logos, the term the Greeks used for Hercules, who was the “Force called man.” Quarks are Boscovich's particles without dimensions. Whereas leptons make up our earthly bodies, quarks make up our astral or etherical bodies or souls. Boscovich's Atomic Physics prepared the abrogation of the decree of the Index Expurgatorius against the Copernican system (1757) An “apostle” of Boscovich, the Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin called the cyclotrons “wombs of change” or evolution.
Newton's Jesus-Gravity is a variant of Hercules in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. Cleopatra imagines Antony's body extended universally from the heavens, just as the extensive pneuma (aer) of the Stoics. Antony's Herculean trunk joins a new heaven and earth. Hercules's bow symbolizes the tautness of the universe, his arrows the pneuma which penetrates everywhere.
Newton's gay lover and disciple, Fatio de Duiller transformed those Herculean arrows into the “gravific corpuscules” that penetrated material objects which are almost entirely transparent. As you may recall Jesus-Logos-Gravity's body composed of “gravific corpuscules” could have penetrated material objects such as, for instance, a door.
Another “apostle” of Boscovich Abbe George Lemaitre (1894-1996), a Catholic priest and Belgium’s most famous astronomer who explained away Einstein's “cosmological constant” argued, Supposing you just stayed with the mathematical model of a gently expanding universe. This would mean that the expansionary force would counter the gravitational force, and so all the matter in the universe could stay separated. Not only that; if the expansionary force slightly exceeded the gravitational force, then the universe would continue to expand and become bigger tomorrow than it is today. That would also mean that it had to be smaller yesterday than it is today, in order to expand to today’s size. The universe would therefore have to be progressively smaller the further back in time you went. And that meant that at some point, very long ago, the universe would have been at its smallest possible size i.e. Boscovich's atom, a dimensionless, structureless mathematical point. Indeed, Lemaitre’s universe was derived from a story of the Indian Upanishads.
From the Hindu Tree of Life to Newton's Vegetable Action
A Tree of Life represents creative forces in the universe. Sunbirds sit on the branches; a five-headed cobra, symbolizing water, rises from the trunk. In the middle of the tree the sun is placed reminiscent of the heliocentrically conceived universe in which energy (Brahma) plays the most important creative part like the creative fire of the Stoics The word Logos of Jn. 1:1 was a Greek counterpart of the Indian Brahman, a neuter noun which means “energy”. The Tree of Life is said to be standing at the axis of the cosmos, and is a common feature of salvation mythology.
In conformity with this vision of the world as a Tree of Life Manu wrote: "Man will traverse the universe, gradually ascending, and passing through the rocks, the plants, the worms, insects, fish, serpents, tortoises, wild animals, cattle, and higher animals. . . . Such is the inferior degree"
"These are the transformations declared, from the plant up to Brahma, which have to take place in his world" (Book I, sloka 8). The Nordic counterpart of the Hindu Tree of Life was called Yggdrasil.
What did I. Newton mean by “action at a distance?” Some sort of “force,” like “gravity”, affected “matter” through space yet with no observable mechanism or medium involved. To contemporaries who found the idea of attractions across empty space unintelligible, he conceded that they might prove to be caused by the impact of unseen particles. Newton turned to Alchemy for a possible answer. The Alchemists had developed a concept called “active principles”: Spirit might be able to act upon matter. There was, thought Newton a “spirit of nature.” He called it “vegetable action”, which was “an exceeding subtle & unimaginably small portion of matter diffused through the mass which, if it were separated, there would remain but a dead & inactive earth.” (White Michael. Isaac Newton: The Last Sorcerer).This “vegetative spirit” was called by alchemists “the pneuma,” a mysterious, holy energy from Gods. Newton's matter diffused through the mass is strongly reminiscent of Jesus' kingdom of heaven which is like unto leaven that leavens the whole (Mt. 13:33 and Lk. 13:20). Michael Maier's alchemical text Arcana arcanissima is a lengthy allegory of Hercules as the all pervasive spiritus. There can be no doubt that alchemy influenced Newton's concept of gravity and of force in general. Newton owned a total of 1752 books of which 369 were about alchemy and 170 books were on what was called “practical magic.”
The alchemist manipulated spirit and matter to manifest the philosopher's stone and the elixir of eternal life, an allegorical substance or formula based on occult myths. Newton apparently took the myths seriously, like Eva in the Gan of Eden who ignored God's warning (“Ye shall not eat of it...lest ye die”) and instead believed the serpent who said: “Ye shall not surely die” (Gen 3:4). Newton sought to reconcile Greek mythology with the Bible.
Cerridwen, the Celtic goddess of wisdom and witchcraft in ancient legend is “the keeper of the Black Cauldron of Immortality.” This is the Cauldron from which one sip could bring incredible insights, wisdom and supernatural power.” Cerridwen is another name for Venus which is another name for Lucifer. She is the principal of the school attended by Harry Potter.
The Twilight of the Gods
I. Newton's “vegetable action” inspired the above mentioned H.S. Chamberlain's thesis Recherches sur la sève ascendante (Studies on rising sap) which did not culminate with a degree. The main thrust of the dissertation is that the vertical transport of fluids in vascular plants via xylem can not be explained by the fluid mechanical theories of the time, but only by the existence of a “vital force” (=vegetable action) that is beyond the pale of physical measurement. He summarized his thesis in the Introduction:
Without the participation of these vital functions it is quite simply impossible for water to rise to heights of 150 feet, 200 feet and beyond (Redwoods grow to 275 feet high and often have trunks that are 8 to 12 feet in diameter; they pump tons of water upwards), and all the efforts that one makes to hide the difficulties of the problem by relying on confused motions drawn from physics are little more reasonable than search for the philosopher's stone.
Physical arguments, in particular transpirational pull and root pressure have since been shown to adequately explain the ascent of sap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Houston_Stewart_Chamberlain). In other words, transpirational pull and root pressure joined forces to defeat Jesus-gravity. Let me make my point, I. Newton had predicted that Jesus would return 49 years after the establishment of Israel in Palestine. The 20th-century Rosicrucian psychic, Edgar Cayce, had predicted the return of Jesus immediately after the discovery of the so-called “Hall of Records” in 1996-98; note that 1948 plus 49 years lands smack dab between those dates, in 1997. My, my is gravity still with us?
