…structure of scientific revolution. Because what you'll learn there, to your amazement, is that these great intellectual breakthroughs like Newton and Einstein and Planck and so forth, they don't come out of careful examination of the evidence and conservative…

…this. Are you're proposing a revolution in physics based on a chinese oracle, is that right? You're suggesting that we should Chuck Newton and Einstein based on a 3000 year old fortune telling book, is that right? Not exactly. The I ching. My interest in…

…a biological machine that is much, much older. And the hardware doesn't change, but the software changes. I mean, in 1660, Newton invents the calculus. The software changes. In the 900s, in the Umayyad caliphate of Baghdad, they invent algebra. These are…

…come up with. And why is this? It's because we took a wrong turn in our modeling of time. We, and this happened with Newton. It is treated as what is called pure duration in western philosophy. It simply means that you have to have this stuff in order…

Yes. Well, Newton is an interesting figure because, you know, Newton is the great father, father of modern science. And he created. He was the one who figured out that you could use the calculus, that the calculus not only figured it out, developed it,…

…various techniques that have been derived out of it, like partial differential equations and that kind of thing. But you're right. Newton himself was a man with a foot in two worlds. He was a thoroughgoing occultist. His alchemical experiments and notebooks…

…it was. The Royal Society was really the first think tank. It was a very modern institution. And so in the character of Newton, we see the magical mentality and the modern mentality welded into one individual. There are other cases like this off and on…

…less certain. Here's what I think is happening. First of all, let's look at the western notion of time as we derive it from Newton. The western notion of time is that time is what is called pure duration. All time is, in western physics, is the place…

…and it was a drag it was wars of religion. That little clip that indicates a descent into novelty I call newton's notch. Newton was important enough that the entire I mean I'm teasing a little bit there was other stuff going on the foundation of the…

…the 30 year war, which lasted from 1619 to 48, is this thing here this notch, and it's also because they were contemporaneous. Newton, the royal society, sir Humphrey Davy all of that's happening there. So the 30 year war is there we'll see it in…

…to and from an eternity in which the species was a living reality. The presence of our dead mother, or Carl Jung, Newton and Bruno, Pythagoras and Heraclitus was an overwhelming and all inclusive intuition that we shared and could not ignore. There seemed…

…from within, not just seeing from outside. And therefore must, in some things, pervade the electromagnetic field. Just as Newton thought the medium of divine omniscience was space, absolute space, which he called the sensorium of God. Everything happens…

…from classical Greek times through the middle ages and so on but primarily it's associated with a recent beginning with Galileo, Kepler, Newton and so on. This is geometry with motion. So the visual strategies necessary to think and work in this area of…

…taking five dried grams of strofericubensis in silent darkness you can go up to the great simulacra of human explorers, hypathea, Maria Newton, da Vinci. You can take that ride. I have the feeling that when we go into those psychedelic spaces, we not only…

…which is in a situation of rising habit there nevertheless is a strong tendency toward novelty, reaching a culmination in 1677. Newton publishes the principia. The celestial mechanics are put on a firm basis the calculus has been invented. The world of…

…where we do all this science that has led us into these incredibly alienating abstractions. This goes back to newton. Newton said time is pure duration. He visualized time as an absolutely featureless surface. Well now notice Ralph Aristotle's effort to…

…way that plutonium is not sulfur and tin is not oxygen, these species of time display properties. Time is not as Newton thought, pure duration, some kind of intellectual abstraction necessary for a serial universe. Time is a real thing. It's as palpable…
