Newton's self reflection
    #13650119 -

Was the greatest man of science in his day satisfied with his achievements?

"I don't know what I may seem to the world, but as to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me".

Sir Isaac Newton

The more knowledge, the more grief.

It is ironic that the science of separating the soul from matter started with an alchemist. He knew that he was measuring the surface of mind, but I don't think he could have anticipated his work would be used to demystify the universe as an unconscious process. Newtonian physics is finally beginning to crumble, but until these discoveries are implemented into psychology, we'll still be stuck on science vs. religion instead of science and religion.

The British Royal Society has kept Newton's alchemy experiments under close wraps, and will not allow them to be published. I understand that he thought of himself as an alchemist even before his identity as a mathematician, proto-physicist, or anything else. Note that I am not speaking of alchemy as a proto-chemistry either; an exclusively Upper Right Quadrant reality, as Ken Wilber would say. Alchemy steps outside of that quadrant and enjoins an intersubjectivity in which the consciousness of the alchemist is an integral part of the experiment, much as the observer in quantum experiments seems to be. It violates the UR dominant mind of empiricism to say that only someone who is of a particular stage of consciousness could observe a phenomenon like lead turning to gold. To UR mentality, there is an 'objective' reality in which pure science is always replicable, given the same physical conditions. In the Upper Right, pure science does occur - science based in "Orange" stage consciousness - the purely rational. Alchemy is a science that can occur in "Turquoise" or "Indigo," or higher stages of consciousness, theoretically, if I understand Wilber correctly. An MP3 player would certainly come across as 'magick' only 300 years ago. Magick, like everything else that is inexplicable from a predominantly rational consciousness (un-integrated with an Upper Left Quadrant internal view), will need to be re-assessed by those with an Integral Consciousness. Yesterday's magick is today's science, but worship of empirical science is Scientism, a false religion that needs to be eliminated as much as mythic-fundamentalist religion does.

If Newton's genius uncovered a new paradigm through alchemy that was hushed up, that paradigm would be Newton's paradigm. That's what it has to do with Newton.
