The 10 False Assumptions Of Modern Science

modern scienceMike Adams – Much of modern science remains stuck in an endless inward spiral of false paradigms. That’s why “scientific” medicine, for example, offers no real answers to the really big diseases: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and so on.

More importantly, modern medicine will never solve these problems unless it abandons its false assumptions and embraces the “higher science” beyond reductionism and materialism.

This is the message of one of the most important books of our time: Science Set Free by Rupert Sheldrake.

This book, available both in hardcopy and audio formats (from Audible.com), outlines 10 new pathways to discovery that promise to allow human civilization to leap forward into a new era of understanding, achievement and the harnessing of the power of nature and the cosmos. (I own the audible.com edition and have been excitedly listening!)

“Rupert Sheldrake may be to the twenty-first century what Charles Darwin was to the nineteenth: someone who sent science spinning in wonderfully new and fertile directions.” — Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Reinventing Medicine

The ten false assumptions of modern day science

Much like myself, Sheldrake is very much “pro science.” But he is disturbed by how scientific advancement has become trapped in a cultural tar pit of delusional beliefs and false assumptions. These false assumptions, listed below, hold science back and prevent human civilization from progressing toward a more profound understanding of nature, ourselves and our universe. (And that’s the whole point of science in the first place. Not to enrich corporations but to deepen our understanding of the universe.)

Scott McConnell ~ Stephen Hawking And The Boston Globe: Two Breaks In The Wall

The American Conservative May 14 2013

BDS = Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions ~G

BDSIt’s hard to know which is the bigger deal, Stephen Hawking’s BDS-inspired decision to drop out of a high-powered conference in Israel (a country he has visited several times before) or the Boston Globe’s endorsement of Hawking’s protest. Both actions would have been virtually inconceivable five years ago, and both reflect the broader impatience of mainstream, high-prestige Western institutions and personalities with Israel’s intensifying land-grabbing on the West Bank and its longstanding practice of using the never-ending “peace process” to camouflage policies of slow-motion ethnic cleansing.

Hawking of course is a global celebrity, renowned as a top theoretical physicist who has triumphed professionally despite suffering from the most debilitating of diseases. His defiance is celebrated in graphic form here and analyzed perceptively by the Israeli anti-occupation journalist Larry Derfner here. Derfner doesn’t really like BDS but notes that nothing else to date has worked: the Israeli public seems all too happy to elect governments which support the occupation, the United States is too timid to try “tough love” on Israel, and it’s very difficult for the Palestinians to make non-violent protest effective against an occupier using live ammunition, midnight arrests, and detention without trial. Not that they aren’t trying.

New Video Examines Horrors Of Science Pursued Without Ethics [Video]

Natural News | November 13 2012

When I began to investigate the horrors that have been committed against humanity in the last century or so, I was aghast to realize how many of them had been pursued in the name of “science.” DDT chemicals? “Scientific.” Agent Orange? “Science.” Hitler’s eugenics agenda? “Scientific.” Genetic pollution and GMOs? “Rational science!”

Dark Side of ScienceThe pursuit of science was supposed to deliver humanity out of the age of superstition and ignorance, but in many ways it has actually condemned humanity to a new age of suffering and death. And in the last century, it has been wholly hijacked and bastardized by evil corporations with zero ethics, zero compassion and zero concern for anything other than their bottom-line profits. Through the invocation of corporate-run “science,” evil institutions have delivered humanity into an age where the very future of humanity is now at risk of total destruction.
