Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1616, the Inquisition denounced "the false Pythagorean doctrine" that the Earth moves around the Sun. Cardinal Bellarmino admonished Galileo to abandon that doctrine. Galileo had attributed it to Pythagoras, and he had found evidence "to revive the old opinion of Pythagoras that the Moon is another Earth." Even the planets seemed to be other worlds. But Galileo did not realize that he was connecting the theory of Earth's motion with offensive pagan beliefs. For more than a thousand years, famous theologians and saints had denounced the Pythagoreans for heresies and blasphemies. This book traces the growth of controversial beliefs about cosmology. This is the only account that sets the Copernican Revolution in that neglected context, tracing the thread of Pythagorean beliefs in the works of Copernicus and his most famous followers: Bruno, Gilbert, Kepler, Galilei, and Campanella. It shows, surprisingly, that the Inquisition's prolonged and deadly proceedings against Giordano Bruno were caused essentially by Bruno's obstinate allegiance to Pythagorean beliefs, including the existence of many worlds and heretical beliefs about the soul of the world. Contrary to Catholic beliefs, the Copernicans claimed that the Earth moves because it has a soul. Using a wealth of new sources, Martinez shows that such concerns greatly affected also the Inquisition's proceedings against Galileo. The book includes the discovery of Cardinal Bellarmino's critiques of Giordano Bruno's heretical ideas; plus, the revealing condemnation of such ideas also in the writings of Bellarmino's allies. Most importantly, Martinez presents the very first analysis of an unpublished, utterly neglected but extremely revealing document: a 210-page rare manuscript by Galileo's most critical judge in his trial of 1633, actually explaining why the Inquisition condemned the Copernicans, the sect of new "Pythagoreans." The book relies on rich and meticulous documentation from rare primary sources and new translations. It rescues neglected aspects of history that are more dramatic than historical myths. It shows how the Christians criticized Pythagorean beliefs about demons, hell, the Earth, immortality, the transmigration of souls, magic, and divination. And it reveals the important and utterly neglected continuity between Bruno's deadly trial and the Inquisition's proceedings against Galileo.

Book excerpt: In 1600, the Catholic Inquisition condemned the philosopher and cosmologist Giordano Bruno for heresy, and he was then burned alive in the Campo de’ Fiori in Rome. Historians, scientists, and philosophical scholars have traditionally held that Bruno’s theological beliefs led to his execution, denying any link between his study of the nature of the universe and his trial. But in Burned Alive, Alberto A. Martínez draws on new evidence to claim that Bruno’s cosmological beliefs—that the stars are suns surrounded by planetary worlds like our own, and that the Earth moves because it has a soul—were indeed the primary factor in his condemnation. Linking Bruno’s trial to later confrontations between the Inquisition and Galileo in 1616 and 1633, Martínez shows how some of the same Inquisitors who judged Bruno challenged Galileo. In particular, one clergyman who authored the most critical reports used by the Inquisition to condemn Galileo in 1633 immediately thereafter wrote an unpublished manuscript in which he denounced Galileo and other followers of Copernicus for their beliefs about the universe: that many worlds exist and that the Earth moves because it has a soul. Challenging the accepted history of astronomy to reveal Bruno as a true innovator whose contributions to the science predate those of Galileo, this book shows that is was cosmology, not theology, that led Bruno to his death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a thousand years, Christians denounced the Pythagoreans. They complained that Pythagoras did "ten thousand kinds of sorcery" healing the sick, predicting events, and stopping storms over rivers and seas so that his disciples might sail across them, like Jesus Christ. Some pagans said that Pythagoras was the son of the god Apollo and a human mother. Whereas Jesus died and resurrected only once, Pythagoras survived death multiple times as his soul was repeatedly reborn in other bodies. Whereas Jesus was dead for less than three days before his resurrection, Pythagoras allegedly spent two centuries in Hell, yet he returned to life. And similarly to the apostles of Jesus, some of the disciples of Pythagoras allegedly exorcised demons and resurrected the dead. But unlike the apostles, some of the Pythagoreans returned to life after death. Saint Hippolytus of Rome criticized this "alliance between heresy and the Pythagorean philosophy," and he denounced the "disciples not of Christ but of Pythagoras." The Pythagorean cosmology also troubled the Christians. The Pythagoreans said that that the infernal regions begin with the Milky Way, souls fall from it to Earth, and that animals' souls come from the stars. They said the Earth moves, and that stars and planets were other worlds. They said that souls live in those countless worlds, and that there were demons living on the Moon. They said that Pythagoras came from Jupiter and had lived on the Moon as a demon. For centuries, the Christians rejected such "poisonous doctrines" and "devilish lies" of the Pythagoreans. The present book traces the development of Pythagorean beliefs about religion and astronomy, explaining how Church Fathers condemned such beliefs, and how that conflict reappeared in the Renaissance. This book is related to Burned Alive: Giordano Bruno, Galileo, and the Inquisition (Reaktion, 2018). While that book focused on Bruno, Galileo, and the Inquisition, this new book focuses on the religious conflicts between Christians and Pythagoreans. Historians know that the Pythagoreans were a secretive religious group, yet there was no historical account of how the early Christians criticized their evolving pagan beliefs and how such heresies resurfaced in the Copernican Revolution. How did the ancient Pythagorean religion relate to astronomy? How did it clash with Christianity? Alberto A. Martinez is a professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of several books, including Burned Alive (2018), The Cult of Pythagoras: Math and Myths (Univ. of Pittsburgh Press, 2012), Science Secrets (Univ. of Pittsburgh Press, 2011), Kinematics: the Lost Origins of Einstein's Relativity (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009), and Negative Math (Princeton University Press, 2005).

Book excerpt: Unbelievable explodes seven of the most popular and pernicious myths about science and religion. Michael Newton Keas, a historian of science, lays out the facts to show how far the conventional wisdom departs from reality. He also shows how these myths have proliferated over the past four centuries and exert so much influence today, infiltrating science textbooks and popular culture. The seven myths, Keas shows, amount to little more than religion bashing—especially Christianity bashing. Unbelievable reveals: · Why the “Dark Ages” never happened · Why we didn’t need Christopher Columbus to prove the earth was round · Why Copernicus would be shocked to learn that he supposedly demoted humans from the center of the universe · What everyone gets wrong about Galileo’s clash with the Church, and why it matters today · Why the vastness of the universe does not deal a blow to religious belief in human significance · How the popular account of Giordano Bruno as a “martyr for science” ignores the fact that he was executed for theological reasons, not scientific ones · How a new myth is being positioned to replace religion—a futuristic myth that sounds scientific but isn’t In debunking these myths, Keas shows that the real history is much more interesting than the common narrative of religion at war with science. This accessible and entertaining book offers an invaluable resource to students, scholars, teachers, homeschoolers, and religious believers tired of being portrayed as anti-intellectual and anti-science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mythical narrative of transmigration tells the story of myriad wandering souls, each migrating from body to body along a path of recurrence amid the becoming of the All. In this highly original study, James Luchte explores the ways in which the concept of transmigration is a central motif in Pythagoras' philosophy, representing its fundamental meaning. Luchte argues that the many strands of the tale of transmigration come together in the Pythagorean philosophical movement, revealing a unity in which, for Pythagoreans, existence and eschatology are separated only by forgetfulness. Such an interpretation that seeks to retrieve the unity of Pythagorean thought goes against the grain of a long-standing tradition of interpretation that projects upon Pythagoras the segregation of 'mysticism' and 'science'. Luchte lays out an alternative interpretation of Pythagorean philosophy as magical in the sense that it orchestrates a holistic harmonization of theoria and praxis and through this reading discloses the radical character of Pythagorean philosophy.

Martínez inspects a wealth of primary sources, in several languages, over a span of many centuries. By exploring disagreements and ambiguities in the history of the elements of mathematics, The Cult of Pythagoras dispels myths that obscure the actual origins of mathematical concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a difference between the material objective world and the actual human reality, since the human reality is very vast, formed of this physical objective world, and much more. Since there is a difference between the actual human reality and the current knowledge about the human reality, while by altering the knowledge itself about the human reality, it remains separated into the consensual human reality and the actual, normal, objective human reality. While if you lack awareness of all these, you end up exploited, as a human being, in a human world. Because you cannot study the human reality without comprehending those controlling the knowledge about the human reality and how they do so forcefully, consensually, or through stereotypes set in place since Aristotle and long before, since this is how they end up controlling you, and the entire world. Furthermore, you cannot form an accurate model of the universe if you do not understand yourself, if you do not understand exactly your needs driving you to perform this study, if you do not understand your mind constituting your means of understanding the universe, and if you do not understand Life altogether spanning the universe, actively involved in its structure, shape, behavior and development. At the same time, understanding the world around is the key to understanding yourself, your life, and your meaning in life and in the world, closing this circle of knowledge. Since this is why we consider the most relevant circumstances behind the famous studies of the world, we find true ideas and how they influence the understanding of the world throughout time, we seek to understand how and why people accept consensual, scientific, and ideological models of this world and how this influences their life, interconnectivity, and development, while we discover systematically this entire world. Furthermore, we use this study of the human reality to test all significant knowledge and ideas, including human reasoning, past civilizations, indoctrination, Einstein, astral planes of existence, ideologies, Renaissance, the Brotherhood, ideological control, ages of Earth, cosmogony, social and mind control, Giordano Bruno, consensual interconnectivity, Relativity, human origins and development, Copernicus, the Consensual Matrix, the Big Bang Theory, dreams, ancient wars, stereotypes, Galileo Galilei, conscious reasoning, Schrodinger, his cat, Creationism, alternate realities, and much more, the entire human reality. This book studies systematically the human reality, focusing on accurate truth while discarding beliefs and errors of reasoning, correlating with all relevant knowledge form physics, religion, spirituality, society, education, history, psychology, and more. If you want to learn more about everything surrounding you and everything that you really are, this book is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How ancient Egyptians understood quantum theory • Investigates the history of how modern religion and the Age of Science were inspired by the sacred science of the ancients • Examines how quantum theory explains that the cosmos arises from consciousness • Reveals the unanimity between Schwaller de Lubicz’s “sacred science” and the science of a cosmos governed by quantum mechanics Since the dawn of the Age of Science humankind has been engaged in a methodical quest to understand the cosmos. With the development of quantum mechanics, the notion that everything is solid matter is being replaced with the idea that information or “thought” may be the true source of physical reality. Such scientific inquiry has led to a growing interest in the brain’s unique and mysterious ability to create perception, possibly through quantum interactions. Consciousness is now being considered as much a fundamental part of reality as the three dimensions we are so familiar with. Although this direction in scientific thought is seen as a new approach, the secret wisdom of the ancients presented just such a view thousands of years ago. Building on René A. Schwaller de Lubicz’s systematic study of Luxor’s Temple of Amun-Mut-Khonsu during the 1940s and ’50s, Edward Malkowski shows that the ancient Egyptians' worldview was not based on superstition or the invention of myth but was the result of direct observation using critical faculties attuned to the quantum manifestation of the universe. This understanding of reality as a product of human consciousness provided the inspiration for the sacred science of the ancients--precisely the philosophy modern science is embracing today. In the philosophical tradition of Schwaller de Lubicz, The Spiritual Technology of Ancient Egypt investigates the technical and religious legacy of ancient Egypt to reveal its congruence with today’s “New Science.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a revisionist look at the seventeenth-century battle between ecclesiastical authorities and Galileo Galilei, Rowland provocatively challenges the prevailing view of the episode. The central issue for the inquisitors investigating Galileo's orthodoxy, insists Rowland, was never the sun-centered astronomy of Copernicus. No, much broader philosophical issues were at stake. And on these issues, Rowland argues, the church stood closer to the truth than did Galileo. The astronomer erred--in Rowland's judgment--not in his advocacy of Copernican theory but rather in his endorsement of a thoroughgoing mathematical empiricism. And while everyone now agrees with Galileo in accepting Copernicus, the doctrinaire empiricism Galileo deployed to advance Copernicanism looks as shallow and misleading to today's quantum physicists as it once did to the Renaissance theologians who forced Galileo to recant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renaissance philosopher Giordano Bruno was a notable supporter of the new science that arose during his lifetime; his role in its development has been debated ever since the early seventeenth century. Hilary Gatti here reevaluates Bruno's contribution to the scientific revolution, in the process challenging the view that now dominates Bruno criticism among English-language scholars. This argument, associated with the work of Frances Yates, holds that early modern science was impregnated with and shaped by Hermetic and occult traditions, and has led scholars to view Bruno primarily as a magus. Gatti reinstates Bruno as a scientific thinker and occasional investigator of considerable significance and power whose work participates in the excitement aroused by the new science and its methods at the end of the sixteenth century. Her original research emphasizes the importance of Bruno's links to the magnetic philosophers, from Ficino to Gilbert; Bruno's reading and extension of Copernicus's work on the motions of the earth; the importance of Bruno's mathematics; and his work on the art of memory seen as a picture logic, which she examines in the light of the crises of visualization in present-day science. She concludes by emphasizing Bruno's ethics of scientific discovery.
