Marcilio Ficino’s Italian Renaissance Did Not Include Da Vinci’s Theory of Knowledge

The idea that the world is approaching a crisis is now widespread. The reliance on fossil fuels, the scarcity of clean water and food supplies available to an overpopulated planet, along with the desire to acquire more efficient weapons of mass destruction, sum up the Darwinian concept that nature is now preparing to eliminate those who are not fit to survive. However, in his second book on evolution, ‘The Accent of Man’, Darwin points out that humanity’s feelings of compassion for disadvantaged and impoverished people are so pronounced that they must surely play a significant role in human evolution.

Scientists such as Jacob Bronowski, commenting on ‘Man’s Assent’, argue that human ethical consideration can alter existing environmental reality and, in doing so, explains the evolutionary workings of ethical thought. Conversely, if the reader finds the ruthless slaughter of humanity a hopeless natural law, then he cannot be blamed. Lord Bertrand Russell won a Nobel Prize for advising us to worship that law, because Albert Einstein believed that that law governed everything. Einstein accepted that this law of heat death, developed to explain the mechanical reality of the operation of a steam engine, was in fact the main law of all science. Russell was not a devout Christian, but he advocated that we should worship that law. Sir Arthur Eddington, a close colleague of Einstein’s, was a devout Christian and also agreed with Russell that we should worship the universal law of heat death as God’s supreme law.

The three philosophers of science had decided that if human ethical thought could alter reality, then it must obey the laws of the physical world, such as the one that controls the action of steam engines. They ignored the thought that, from a spiritual point of view, there might be other principles of science. As we know, ancient thinkers had postulated that at first it was the dark ‘Abyss’, then light came, then matter was created. Fair enough, no steam engine could have existed during the immense period of time that led to human evolution. However, today nanotechnology proves that consciousness works from the actions of forces associated with what the ancients called sacred geometry, which existed before matter. So much to worship the god of inevitable chaos.

The reader can hardly be blamed for arguing that there never existed an ethical science to explain how ethical thought could possibly explain the ability of quantum mechanics to alter the fabric of universal reality. Again, it’s quite fair that quantum biology is now emerging to explain how this occurs, when its living energies become entangled with the reality of the physical world. At this point, one can imagine that the reader might be a little angry at anyone who dares to criticize Albert Einstein’s world view. To defuse the situation, it can be suggested that Einstein’s genius is indispensable, when modified to coexist with a universal holographic reality. This allows ethics to become a technology to solve the problems of the world crisis mentioned at the beginning of this article. However, the complex technology is beyond the ken of those who unknowingly worship Einstein’s theory of chaos energy as the very foundation of modern science.

As the general reader seems to prefer short articles, a brief explanation follows to explain that ethical science really exists, waiting for the chance to become a human survival technology.

Sacred geometry was used to invent the ancient Egyptian goddess of truth and justice, Maat, who was worshiped for keeping the universe from returning to primordial chaos. The ancient Babylonian goddess Ishstar, also invented from sacred geometry, was the goddess of prostitution and war. Fibbonacci taught the Babylonian ethos of Fibbonacci’s sacred geometric reasoning to Leonardo da Vinci, later developed by Russell in collaboration with Einstein as a mathematical cult of the very chaos that the Goddess Maat was thought to prevent.

The ancient Platonic tradition of Greek philosophy used Egyptian ethical teaching to establish its ‘Science for Ethical Purposes’ during the 3rd century BC. That ethical science was banished as pagan mathematics by the Roman Church in the fifth century AD. Plato’s Academy was later outlawed by the Roman Emperor Justinian. Cosimo Medici re-established the Platonic university near Florence and appointed Marsilio Ficino to develop his teaching during the 15th century Renaissance.

The opening excerpt from Marsilio Ficino’s Review of Platonic Theology’ by Harvard University Press, 06/30/2006, reads as follows: ‘Platonic Theology’ is a visionary work and the philosophical masterpiece of Marcilio Ficino (1433- 1499), the Florentine scholar, philosopher, and magician who was largely responsible for the revival of Plato in the Renaissance.

The reader may begin to realize that the Western world has brought chaos on its head by realizing that the genius, Leonardo da Vinci, was not really the great Renaissance man we all believed him to be. His view of his world not only flatly contradicted Plato’s teachings on spiritual ethics, but, along with Descartes and Sir Francis Bacon, he helped plunge Western science into the Babylonian cult of war and chaos. . The solution is simply to modify the current educational system so that it is not totally governed by the cult of the law of chaos, renamed last century by scientists Maria Montersorri and Teilhardt de Chardin as the Law of Greed Energy.
