Science Unshackled | Restoring Causality in a World of Chaos

Posted October 21, 2024 – for those who read

Science Unshackled | Restoring Causality in a World of Chaos | November 2023, Paperback: 275 pages | By Matthew Ehret

As a young student of Math and Philosophy, I noted many unanswered questions I just didn’t have time or resources to explore further.  These questions were swept aside to focus on learning the proscribed materials provided by the university.    Decades passed since that time and now I have the grand opportunity to revisit many of these inconsistencies and counter-patterns that stuck in my mind like a splinter:

“You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.” – Morpheus (from The Matrix).

Matt’s treatment of the ‘Leibniz–Newton calculus controversy’ was enlightening and helpful: As a young math student, I often wondered why Newton got all the credit.  I also enjoyed understanding the roots of our current science can be traced back to Aristotle and why Plato would have been the better choice.

Matt makes many references to Plato’s Timaeus and Critias.  My first instinct was to save time and read or listen to established ‘scholars’ opinions on this piece, but I am thankful I read it afresh –trusting myself– without peering through the lenses and guidance of established ‘experts’.   I also skipped the introduction after reading some 20 pages which turned out to be a great decision.  The dialogue starts to gain some traction at ‘3. Prelude’. The distinction between being and becoming; the world has come into being as a likeness of eternal being; our account of it can therefore be no more than ‘likely’.)  TIMAEUS: We must in my opinion begin by making the following distinctions. What is that which always is, and has no becoming, and what is that which is always becoming but never in any way is?” 

Matt also exposes the anthropogenic climate change fiction brilliantly and concisely in Chapter 8.

Sit back and enjoy as Matt exposes the reader to a deeper understanding of our history, art, science, philosophy and geopolitics; and how they have worked together to create today’s World of Chaos.  -db

Back cover: 

“Matthew’s book is a fascinating journey that navigates the evolution of science and soul; science and soul as seen through the eyes and works of the many creative and destructive facets of man himself.” – Jessica Rose, PhD

“Matt Ehret manages to provide a systematic overhaul of basic foundations for the concept of Science as a constructive force for the good of humanity, unshackling it from the political use as a ‘Science of Limits’, Science Unshackled will open your eyes to help you in connecting the dots.” –Uwe Alschner, PhD

“This book should be of interest of anyone willing to know about the clashes of worldviews, different paradigms in science and in society in general. Even if you do not agree with all of Ehret’s points of view, this work will make you reflect about most of modern science, to question what appears of the media and in the textbooks. You can become a more critical thinker, which is one of the important things a good book can bring about.”  –Andre Koch Torres Assis PhD

“Science Unshackled is a work of universal importance that can inspire a renaissance in our approach not only to science but to economics, politics, and education.” – Richard C. Cook (former U.S. government analyst, NASA whistleblower and author, Our Country, then and Now

“I encourage people to read this book, and take advantage of each of the chapters to do their own research, and begin their own discoveries.” –John Plaice, PhD

“ This book leaves me with a brand new way to look at, understand and think about science – a new worldview.”  -Tanyss Munro, PhD

“The book weaves together concepts which have been systematically compartmentalized: math, science, history, philosophy and art, by a ruling class which has no love for humanity. Ehret thoroughly exposes the corruption of science, and offers an introduction to a holistic outlook with potential to unshackle the mind.” –Fox green (Founder of Space Commune)

Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses

Posted September 1, 2024 – for those who read

Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses by Daniel Estulin

Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses Paperback – September 22, 2015 by Daniel Estulin PhD (240 pages)

Daniel Estulin is an award-winning investigative journalist and author of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group. He is the host of two radio shows in Spain.

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered. With connections to U.S. research institutes, think tanks, and the drug industry, the Tavistock has a large reach, and Tavistock Institute attempts to show that the conspiracy is real, who is behind it, what its final long term objectives are, and how we the people can stop them.

Disintegration | Indicators of the Coming American Collapse by Andrei Martyanov

Posted August 25, 2024 | For those who read

Disintegration | Indicators of the Coming American Collapse by Andrei Martyanov

Published: 2021 by Clarity Press, Inc. (236 pages).

Andrei Martyanov is a former laboratory director in a commercial aerospace group.  He is a frequent blogger on the US Naval Institute blog, and author of ‘Losing Military Supremacy: the Myopia of American Strategic Planning and The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs.

Comments

Disintegration brings to the table many causative inputs missed during my second look at history using the corrective lenses provided by the likes of Antony C. Sutton, Quigley, Engdahl, and others.    This book was written after the US-orchestrated Ukrainian putsch in 2014 but before Russia’s SMO, so represents a snapshot of that time (2021) on the condition of America internally and externally.  The trajectory of destruction is well referenced and documented with many footnotes.  Since 2021, this self-inflicted death spin of corruption, incompetence and information manipulation has only gotten worse.   This is not just another depressing book designed to list the many failures of America, this book brings new insight and evidence of the primary causes that put this great country on the path of disintegration.  –ClearNFO

“Martyanov shows that America’s disintegration is irreversible because the ruling elites are an organic part of the calamitous sources of dysfunction that have destroyed the country.”  –PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

“Andrei Martyanov’s third book discussing the collapse of the U.S. Empire looks into the social and economic phenomena which all contribute to that collapse. Disintegration is a multi-level analysis of the crisis which is now so clearly plaguing the USA of 2021.  I consider Disintegration a “must read” for every U.S. patriot who wants his country to overcome its current difficulties and for every person on the planet who wants to avoid a full-scale war between Russia and/or China and the USA.  Indeed, if you want to get a superb summation of what is really going on in the United States—read all of Martyanov’s books.”  –THE VINEYARD SAKER

You can find Andrei’s informative podcasts and interviews on many popular platforms, including Rokfin, BitChute, Rumble, Odysee, YouTube and many more.

Philokalia ’love of the beautiful’

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April 23, 2024

Philokalia ’love of the beautiful’

The Philokalia provides a wealth of wisdom and deep insights which I enjoy daily. This five (5) volume set addresses many questions I have and explores with great care and insight topics that deepen my understanding of the human condition and Christian Orthodoxy.  Daily reading of these important writings have helped clear the debris that clouds my nous (eye of the soul).  I read volume five first and then jumped to volume one. 

As a former artist, it became obvious early on how much easier it was to create amazing monsters and how much more difficult it was to create something truly beautiful and wholesome.   I believe this fundamental theorem resonates with much of my life to date.   Creating monsters is easy and productive, yet this road does not lead to beauty.  Believing I could control my life by my own personal will, intellect and talent would lead to a beautiful, satisfying life proved to be folly.  As it has turned out –while I accomplished many personal and financial successes—my self-directed control, fortitude and personal management proved to be in error exposing the limits of my man-made rationalism, reasoning and abstract concepts.  My nous had become clouded and I was unable to receive the full energy imitating from God which I once knew and experienced as a child.  Reading the Philokalia helped clear my nous and return me to the experience and the eternal wisdom provided by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.   -db

AE44: The Philokalia Lectures by Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia – An explanation of a special collection of writings of the Greek Fathers including what they are, who compiled them and why, and an overview of various spiritual themes. 6 disk package.

From the 5th Volume: The Philokalia, which means “the love of the good and beautiful”, was compiled by St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain and St. Makarios of Corinth and first published in Greek in 1782 as an anthology of classic spiritual texts ranging from the 4th and the 15th century. Its rich assortment of edifying literature provides boundless wisdom and guidance regarding prayer, the soul’s ascent to God through grace by its natural “love for beauty”, and its struggle to overcome its own passions and fragmentation.

Orthodox Wiki: The Philokalia is a collection of writings, mostly centering on practicing the virtues and spiritual living in a monastery. In recent decades it has become an important resource for Orthodox Christians, laity and clergy alike, in personal living and in some ways has achieved status as a major secondary spiritual written resource (after the primary one, Holy Scripture) along with St. John Climacus‘ The Ladder of Divine Ascent.

Prologue from Ohrid

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April 23, 2024

The Prologue of Ohrid: Lives of Saints, Hymns, Reflections, and Homilies for Every Day of the Year

A great addition to my library and daily studies: I can’t wait to get up every morning to read The Prologue from Ohrid.  Truly a fascinating book providing much wisdom, historical context and analysis on the lives of the Saints. A simple and quick two page read each morning and then I’m off to reading the Philokalia and other books of great wisdom.

Daily Format of the Ohrid:

  • Date (day of the year)
  • Brief biography of two or more Saints of the day
  • Hymn of Praise for the above Saint(s)
  • Reflection on the life of the Saint(s) of the day
  • Contemplation
  • Homily

I find it Interesting to compare The Prologue from Ohrid to the much condensed A Daily Calendar of Saints by Fr. Lawrence Farley.  The Prologue provides additional historical depth and context expanding my understanding of the life of our Orthodox Saints, plus the ‘Reflections’ and ‘Homily’ sections are pure gold.  After only four months reading The Prologue daily, I feel I have gained a rich understanding of the lives of the Saints, the evil they faced and the historical times in which they lived and died. -db

NIHILISM by Eugene (Fr. Seraphim) Rose

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | January 26, 2024

NIHILISM by Eugene (Fr. Seraphim) Rose | The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age; Eugene (Fr. Seraphim) Rose (1934 – 1982); St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood; Paperback, 123 pages; First printing: 1994

In this short, insightful book, Eugene Rose convincingly dispatches the philosophy of Nihilism to the existential trash bin by exposing its many contradictions, errors and self-imposed limitations.  This book helped me understand how Nihilism and its progeny have permeated today’s culture clouding the inner eye of the soul, thus blocking the “I” that perceives God from God’s energy and illumination.

Note: Since Eugene Rose was deceased in 1982, this book was obviously written close to the end the Soviet Union’s reign of terror (1922–1991) against the Russian people.  From my reading of this book, Rose was likely unaware the role Wall Street and the International Bankers played in the October Revolution, WW1, and WW2 as exposed by Antony C. Sutton, Carroll Quigley, James Perloff and many others.  What this means to me is that –like Communism and so many other ism’s– Nihilism may yet be another tool used to gain advantage over the sleeping masses.  Also, it is interesting to note the harmonic resonance between this book, and: Technocracy, Materialism, and Ted Kaczynski’s desperate warnings on the advance of technology.
