Marcilio Ficino’s Italian Renaissance did not include Da Vinci’s Theory of Knowledge

The idea that the world is approaching a crisis is now widespread. The dependence on fossil fuels, the scarcity of clean water and available food supplies for an overcrowded planet, coupled with the desire to acquire more efficient weapons of mass destruction, are summed up in the Darwinian concept that nature is now preparing for eliminate those who are not fit to survive. However, in his second book on evolution, ‘The Accent of Man’, Darwin points out that humanity’s feelings of compassion for disadvantaged and impoverished people are so pronounced that they must surely play an important role in human evolution.

Scientists, such as Jacob Bronowski, commenting on ‘Assent of Man’, argue that human ethical consideration can alter existing environmental reality and in doing so explain the evolutionary workings of ethical thought. On the contrary, if the reader considers that a ruthless slaughter of humanity is a desperate natural law, then he cannot be blamed. Lord Bertrand Russell won a Nobel Prize for advising us to worship this law, because Albert Einstein believed that this law governed everything. Einstein accepted that this law of heat death, developed to explain the mechanical reality of the operation of a steam engine, was in fact the main law in all of science. Russell was not a devout Christian, but he advocated that we should worship that law. Sir Arthur Eddington, a close colleague of Einstein, was a devout Christian and also agreed with Russell that we must worship the universal law of heat death, as the supreme law of God.

The three philosophers of science had decided that if human ethical thought could alter reality, then it must obey the laws of the physical world, such as those that control the action of steam engines. They ignored the thought that, from a spiritual point of view, there might be other principles of science. As we know, ancient thinkers had postulated that in the beginning was the dark ‘Abyss’, then came light, then matter was created. Fair enough, no steam engine could have existed during the immense period of time that led to human evolution. However, today nanotechnology proves that consciousness works from the actions of forces associated with what the ancients called sacred geometry, which existed before matter. So much for worshiping the god of inevitable chaos.

The reader can hardly be blamed for arguing that there never was an ethical science to explain how ethical thinking could possibly account for the ability of quantum mechanics to alter the fabric of universal reality. Once again, it is only fair that quantum biology is emerging now to explain how this occurs, when its living energies become entangled with the reality of the physical world. At this point, one can imagine that the reader might be a little angry at anyone who dares to criticize Albert Einstein’s worldview. To calm the situation, it can be suggested that Einstein’s genius is indispensable, when modified to co-exist with a universal holographic reality. This allows ethics to become a technology to solve the problems of the world crisis mentioned at the beginning of this article. However, complex technology is beyond the thought of those who unwittingly worship Einstein’s chaos energy theory as the very foundation of modern science.

As the general reader seems to prefer short articles, a short explanation follows to explain that ethical science really exists, waiting for the opportunity to become a human survival technology.

Sacred geometry was used to invent the ancient Egyptian goddess of truth and justice, Maat, who was worshiped for keeping the universe from reverting to primordial chaos. The ancient Babylonian goddess Ishstar, also invented from sacred geometry, was the goddess of prostitution and war. Fibbonacci taught the Babylonian ethos of Fibbonacci’s sacred geometrical reasoning to Leonardo da Vinci, later developed by Russell in collaboration with Einstein as a mathematical cult of the very chaos that the Goddess Maat was thought to prevent.

The ancient Platonic tradition of Greek philosophy used Egyptian ethical teaching to establish its ‘Science for Ethical Purposes’ during the 3rd century BC. That ethical science was banished as a pagan mathematics by the Roman Church in the 5th century AD Plato’s Academy was later outlawed by the Roman emperor Justinian. Cosimo Medici re-established the Platonic university near Florence and appointed Marsilio Ficino to develop his teaching during the 15th century Renaissance.

The opening excerpt of Marsilio Ficino’s Review of Platonic Theology’ by Harvard University Press, 06/30/2006, reads as follows: ‘Platonic Theology’ is a visionary work and the philosophical masterpiece of Marcilio Ficino (1433- 1499), the Florentine scholar, philosopher, and magician who was largely responsible for the revival of Plato in the Renaissance.

The reader can begin to realize that the Western world has brought chaos on its head by noticing that the genius, Leonardo da Vinci, was not really the great Renaissance man that everyone believed him to be. Not only did his worldview flatly contradict Plato’s teachings on spiritual ethics, but, along with Descartes and Sir Francis Bacon, he helped immerse Western science in the Babylonian cult of war and chaos. . The solution is simply to modify the current educational system so that it is not entirely governed by the cult of the law of chaos, renamed last century by scientists Maria Montersorri and Teilhardt de Chardin as the Law of the Energy of Greed.
