The modern age cannot be an age of biotechnology

There are turning points in history when the direction and destiny of the human race shifts.

These times are characterised by new experiences, ideas, choices, inventions and conflicts. We have arrived at a fork in the road of the mechanistic, rationalistic scientific paradigm of life which has dominated our outlook for the last 400 years. The choices we make at this point in time will determine the future direction of our health, wealth, comfort and happiness.

The renaissance brought forth a flowering of appreciation of nature, leading Leonardo Da Vinci to write in the 15th century:

“Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.”

A deeper scientific understanding of the laws of nature began in earnest when Copernicus realised that the earth revolved around the sun (1543) and Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter (1610), culminating in the quantification of the laws of gravity by Newton (1687). As a result of these discoveries, our world view became mechanised. Consequently the human race was no longer an leading actor at the centre of a well ordered hierarchy of celestial spheres but on some distant planet at the edge of a lonely galaxy. John Donne captured the existential turmoil of the age writing in 1611 his An Anatomy of the World:

“New philosophy calls all in doubt…Tis all in pieces all coherence gone”.

Nevertheless, with the passage of time, philosophy, theology and popular culture were able to accommodate strictly mechanistic and deterministic laws of nature within a conception of an awesome and beautiful cosmos which was God’s creation.

Following his globe circling voyage in the Beagle during the 1830’s and the discoveries he made, Charles Darwin published his Origin of the Species in 1859 which has, over the ensuing 165 years, played a key role in upending the prevailing view of an orderly natural world in which everything is well and wisely put. Darwin’s thesis introduced a more dynamic picture of nature in flux and in constant conflict wherein only the fittest survive. The world order suddenly appeared to be subject to chance and happenstance. Constant adaptation was taking place whose outcomes appeared to have a random character. As a result, Darwin himself gradually came to doubt the authenticity of religious dictum and theistic ideas.

With the development of quantum mechanics beginning at the outset of the twentieth century, the crisis in the well ordered deterministic paradigm of natural law began to deepen. Nature at its deepest level appeared to be inherently unpredictable, randomly subject to chance. Famously Einstein could not accept this conclusion saying:

“Quantum theory yields much, but it hardly brings us close to the Old One’s secrets. I, in any case, am convinced He does not play dice with the universe”.

In 1953 the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA opened a window into the inner mechanics of the cell and the mechanism of inherited characteristics, which led Francis Crick to proclaim: “We have discovered the secret of life”. Modern geneticists began to believe they could play God and alter the very basis of life. In 2017 Jennifer Doudna, the Nobel prize winning inventor of CRISPR gene editing, writing in her book A Crack in Creation cautioned:

“The power to control our species’ genetic future is awesome and terrifying. Deciding how to handle it may be the biggest challenge we have ever faced.”

In 2020 we collectively arrived at the edge of a biotechnology future. A lab-made gene-edited illness swept the world and a vaccine designed to tinker with our genetic processes overturned the order of natural genetic inheritance that has held sway for billions of years. Six years later in the cold light of day it is very hard not to think that the science of biotechnology has taken a wrong turn down an intellectual and experimental cul de sac with deadly consequences for the human race.

A preprint paper entitled “Synthetic mRNA Vaccines and Transcriptomic Dysregulation: Evidence from New-Onset Adverse Events and Cancers Post-Vaccination” has laid out the extent of the disruption to genetic expression. Using high-resolution RNA sequencing on blood samples, the study found that thousands of cellular and intercellular functions were disrupted:

“Covid vaccine patient groups displayed widespread transcriptional dysregulation…..including mitochondrial dysfunction, proteasome-mediated stress, transcriptomic instability, and systemic inflammation”

Included in the study were a group of vaccinated patients who had developed new-onset cancers. In addition to the above, these patients exhibited additional hallmarks of genomic instability, and epigenetic reprogramming including “elevated immune signalling via TLRs and type I interferons”. One of the authors, Nicholas Hulscher, has summarised the implications on Substack as follows:

• Mitochondrial failure – Complex I breakdown, oxidative stress, energy collapse
• Immune reprogramming – Chronic inflammation, ACE2 suppression, TLR hyperactivation
• Oncogenic activation – MYC up, p53/KRAS down, DNA repair suppression
• Cellular stress – Ribosome overload, misfolded protein buildup, proteasome activation
• Epigenetic remodeling – Chromatin shifts, methylation changes, nucleosome displacement
• Reverse transcription suggested – Patterns consistent with LINE-1 activity and persistent plasmid DNA, raising concern for potential genomic integration or sustained foreign gene expression

The study concluded:

“The observed transcriptomic profiles indicate persistent cellular stress responses, mitochondrial dysfunction, and immune dysregulation following exposure to mRNA vaccines, potentially in susceptible individuals. Shared and distinct molecular signatures in both cohorts demonstrate underlying mechanisms contributing to post-vaccine symptomatology and complications, including oncogenesis and or progression of malignant disease. These findings underscore the need for a deeper investigation into the long-term safety of mRNA vaccines and host response variability”

From this it appears that we have so profoundly misunderstood nature that we are are on the brink of collective destruction. In this article we ask what have we missed, what are the gaps in our understanding of life? It offers insights in addition to those already headlined in “The Long Read: Twenty Reasons to Completely Reject the Biotechnology Paradigm”

We should reconsider the fundamentals of the prevailing scientific world view which at its root is exemplified in the highly verified laws of physics.

Since the advent of the mechanistic picture of life, science has granted human consciousness the status of an ‘OBSERVER’. In the world of rationalistic scientific theory, humans are never referred to as ‘ACTORS’. In other words, the apparent assumption is that humans do nothing. We are simply a detached observer subject to the laws of physics. Rationalists endeavour to exclude consciousness from science and all that it represents. For the rational scientist, consciousness can be safely consigned to the realms of psychology and theology—fantasies which have little or nothing to do with the laws of nature which ultimately hold sway over everything in the Cosmos.

The reality of experimental results in fundamental physics is a far cry from this grey, lifeless view of existence. Their rigorous interpretation requires an observer who is not passive, but rather an intimately involved actor on the cosmic stage. There are six key ways in which consciousness has entered into and occupied a central place in twentieth century physics:

• Firstly in 1905, Einstein’s seminal paper on Special Relativity revealed that the speed of light is the same for all observers. Einstein highlighted the special relationship between the observer and the physical world of space-time.
• Secondly, the emergence of quantum mechanics revealed that measurement and hence the observer plays a key role in the evolution of physical states (See Quantum Reality: Beyond the New Physics, Anchor Books 1987) which can even extend to backwards causation in time (See Greene, The fabric of the cosmos. Penguin Books, 2004). Measurement collapses the quantum mechanical wave function from an abstract multidimensional probabilistic Hilbert space of all possibilities into what we call concrete reality.
• Thirdly, quantum entanglement between states ensures that information can travel faster than the speed of light across vast distances. In other words, a measurement conducted by an observer can instantly affect distant matter. Quantum entanglement is in effect a memory of a past interaction whose implications persist and affect future outcomes.
• Fourthly, quantum cosmology explains the emergence of the universe itself as the result of the interplay between observer, observed, and crucially the observer-observed relationship which can be quantified as information gathering and utilising systems described by the Wheeler-De Witt equation (See WHEELER, J. A. and PATTON, C. M.: in Quantum Gravity, (ed. C. Isham, R Penrose, andD. Sciama) Oxford University Press, 1975).
• Fifthly, theories, which aim to provide a completely unified framework for physical theory such as String Theory, rely on non-abelian mathematics whose self-referral structure is a defining characteristic of consciousness.
• Sixth, the laws of physics are symmetric as to the passage of time, yet a unidirectional arrow of time is our common experience. Thus discussion of this arrow of time and the second law of thermodynamics often identifies orderly states with reference to an observer’s preferences. This sixth entry of consciousness into physics makes the connection between physics and evolutionary theory. Living systems defy the second law of thermodynamics, increasing in order rather than disorder.

In sum, physics is not just incomplete without an OBSERVER, but also requires an understanding of consciousness as an ACTOR. More than this, individual actors have a unique IDENTITY. This identity is reflected in the unique genetic makeup of an individual. Genetic makeup involves not just DNA, but the whole cell and the collection of 37 trillion cells whose unified functions support the expression of a universal field of consciousness as an individual actor within an extended biofield.

The belief that consciousness has no place in scientific law is deeply held. To the committed rationalist, consciousness is something that should be abhorred and ignored. However, leaving consciousness out of the equation renders physical theory incomplete and inconsistent with experimental reality. The interpretation of physical experiment needs to take implications vis a vis individual and universal consciousness more seriously.

In fact quantum physical reality corresponds more closely to our personal experience than the mechanistic laws of Newton.

Just as alternative quantum states are superimposed as they evolve in an abstract space before collapsing to a specific state upon measurement, we naturally entertain alternative choices before taking decisions which collapse these alternatives into a single concrete action.

It is a commonly held belief that we are connected across space and time with the past and with others close to us. Throughout the ages, societies have considered personal responsibility for actions to be a paramount legal and religious principle. As you sow so shall you reap, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This idea is also expressed in the philosophy of karma, which holds that past actions have enduring effects and consequences. It is hard to avoid citing the discovery of quantum entanglement which appears to be a fundamental property of matter loosely aligned with widely held principles of individual and social responsibility.

Exactly how consciousness expresses itself via our genetic makeup is unknown to science, but the implication of quantum reality is clear, as is our personal experience, —consciousness is primary and matter secondary. Surely consciousness is the frontier we have to cross as we enter a new age of technology. Not as an intellectual exercise, but, as the philosophy of Yoga and Karma suggests, through the direct experience of universal or unified consciousness in the deep silence of transcendental meditation.

Maharishi Patanjali, the historical founder of the philosophy of Yoga, explains that there are laws of consciousness which can be harnessed to produce physical results. These practices are known as siddhis, literally the perfected action of a fully awake consciousness. The Bhagavad Gita in 4.19 says the wise know that the effects of past karma can be used up in the fire of knowledge (the experience of expanded consciousness). Similar understandings about redemption and freedom are found in cultural and religious traditions across the world from China to Jerusalem to Greece and everywhere in between.

If two particles are entangled by their past interactions, so can many be linked. The consequences can locate and affect participants across time and space. The metaphysics of this quantum entanglement has already become a subject of philosophical debate. We are caught in a karmic web of relationships of our own making. To free ourselves, traditional practices involving rituals of sound, prayer and meditation can connect us with the purifying fire of universal consciousness which is not constrained by time and space. If governments can assign unique identifying tags to individuals and track them through time and distance, it is not so far-fetched to assume that nature does likewise, tracking and rewarding individuals. Acting as if a postal system, which forwards a letter to the recipient, even if they have changed address. Understanding these principles of consciousness and action at their deepest level will prove fruitful.

There is another lesson here. No doubt it is the continuity afforded by the unique genetic makeup of the individual which is at the nexus of the flow of consciousness as it meets the future. A recent paper entitled “Association Between COVID-19 Vaccination and Neuropsychiatric Conditions” confirms a clear safety signal connecting mental instability with mRNA Covid vaccination. This demonstrates just how far the editing of genetic functions can make inroads into our connection with the continuity of universal consciousness. Biotechnology threatens to scramble the inheritance of the past, distort our perception of the present and destroy our future. It should be rejected.
