As our telescopes and microscopes over the decades have again and again given the lie to the materialistic Darwinist and Uniformatarianists worldview…it has left a ginormous and ever expanding vacuum…and of course the world hates ginormous and ever expanding vacuums…so a new and improved weltanschauung is needed…
I think this article may just sum it up nicely:
Highly recommended (not that I would agree with all her viewpoint):
Whether we like it or not…man is a creature that worships…whether it’s the latest mathematical formula or algorithm on the scientists chalkboard that will finally reverse the curse and give mankind immortality via the Singularity…or some new metaphysical religious faith invented and implanted in the global hive mind creating a new zeitgeist…as the famous bard so elegantly put it…

I absolutely think Pasulka’s basic hypothesis is spot on…there is a new religion forming before our eyes…one that will replace the demonstrably proven false “religion” that was the strictly naturalistic/materialistic Scientism of yesteryear…on that that more fully and out rightly marries the religious and the scientific…one that marries the spiritual and the technological…on that marries the metaphysical with the physical…
But is it a marriage made in heaven is the question…
As the world’s thinkers and researchers steadily embrace and formulate this new religious weltanschauung perhaps a word of caution from some other…perhaps more introspective and sober ”smart people”…one’s who know a thing or two about this strange and budding phenomenon and who give a caution that these “craft” and the “beings” who man them are actually nothing new and give strong evidence to a connection with other long-held religious beliefs…an aggressive phenomenon that’s malevolent and deceptive…





So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. 2 Thessalonians 2:11


I would suggest that one read this for themselves and not pay attention to the received understanding / interpretation of the experiences of Siddhartha. Companions to Hesse’s work would be “Self-Deception” and “The Self in Transformation: Psychoanalysis, Philosophy and the Life of the Spirit” … both by Herbert Fingarette.
