Sir Isaac Newton and the occult

Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists/mathematicians who lived from 1642 to 1727, and creator of the ‘Principia Mathematica’ paved the way for the Industrial Revolution. Newton’s ideals helped lay the foundation of classical physics and has once again appeared in the news after discovering more evidence about his hidden side.

New discoveries have been found in old manuscripts saying that Newton regularly drank deep at some of the same arcane sources as today’s New Age theorists. Newton has been deeply linked to ancient Alchemy according to the manuscripts already found, and the same describes very interesting formulas that have not yet been revealed.

He was also known for his studies of the scriptures and Jewish mysticism, according to newly revealed texts.

Israel’s national library contains a vast treasure of Newton’s esoteric writings, and have recently digitized his occult collection and posted it online.

Among the yellowed texts is Newton’s famed prediction of the apocalypse in 2060.

The curator of Israel’s National Library’s humanities collection asserted that Newton was also a devout Christian who believed that the scripture provided a ‘code’ to the natural world.

The Daily Mail quoted Milka Levy-Rubin as saying the following: “Today, we tend to make a distinction between science and faith, but to Newton it was all part of the same world.”



“He believed that careful study of holy texts was a type of science that if analyzed correctly could predict what was to come.”

To enhance his understanding of the subject, Newton learned Hebrew, explored the esoteric Jewish philosophy, the mysticism of Kabbala, and the Talmud.

For example, he based his calculation on the end of days on information gleaned from the Book of Daniel, which projected the apocalypse 1,260 years later.

Newton discovered that this count started from the crowning of Charlemagne as Roman emperor in the year 800.

He also believed that the geometry of Solomon’s temple encoded ancient wisdom about proportions in nature, and man’s place in Creation.

The papers cover topics like interpretations of the Bible, theology, the history of ancient cultures, the Tabernacle, and the geometry of Solomon’s Temple.

The collections also constitute maps that Newton sketched to help him in his calculations and his attempts to divulge the secret knowledge he believed was encrypted within.



He tried to project what the end of days would look like, and the role Jews would play when it happened.

“He took a great interest in the Jews, and we found no negative expressions toward Jews in his writing,” said Levy-Rubin.

“He said the Jews would ultimately return to their land.”

But the university rejected his nonscientific papers, and consquently, the family auctioned them off at Sotheby’s in London in 1936.

The library exhibited the papers for the first time in 2007, and now they are accessible to everyone - free of charge - on the Internet.

Final Notes:

Despite of this news, we should agree that when we integrate Newton’s idea of spirit as both permeating and enabling the functions of time and space with his own probing into the possibilities of subatomic matter, we begin to move closer to the contemporary notion of a zero-point energy field underlying all physical reality, and even much more.



Newton’s achievements, in both touching upon the realms of the occult and appearing to anticipated quantum theory, not only seems colossal; it seems incommensurable. And perhaps it is best summed up in the words of the greats economist John Maynard Keynes, who was one of the first researches the records of Newton’s alchemical pursuits, and who, in address in which he introduced those first finding to the public in 1942, said:

‘Newton was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians and Sumerians, the last great mind which looked out on the visible and intellectual word with the same eyes as those who began to build intellectual inheritance rather less than 10,000 years ago. Sir Isaac Newton, a posthumous child born with no father, on Christmas’s day, 1642, was the last wonder-child to whom the Magi could do sincere and appropriate homage.”

For those interested in downloading the manuscripts please go to: The Jewish National and University Library. The same has published a number of high-quality scanned images of various Newton documents.



“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

-Sir Isaac Newton-

The Occult and Mysterious Egypt

The Occult and Mysterious Egypt

Whenever we talk about Egypt, the usual things that come to our minds are the pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and of course the treasures of King Tutankhamun. But there is something much deeper than tourism and momentary admiration. When we personally contemplate these wonders, there is something hidden in the mystery of Egypt, and it is not esoteric or supernatural. Such part of the hidden history, because is not in accordance with the logical history, is not taken into account. Now, why is it that we reject these findings, even though many of the prestigious ancient historians have written about it? These writings, at the present, only serve to swell the great libraries of the forgotten history.
When modern academics composed reference books about early Egyptians, they scrupulously avoided mention of the impressive body of ancient evidence attesting to the celestial rulers of pre-dynastic Egypt. Like all researches, historians drew their material from recognized ancient sources such as Book of the Dead, The Pyramid Texts, the Turin Papyrus, the Bible, and the records of highly regarded historians, like Herodotus, Manetho, Stravo, Diodorus Siculus, Plyni, and Lamblichus.


[Herodotus]
However, the paranormal portion of academia’s primary reference material was relegated to myth and only data required to support a particular line of study was used. Those who ‘patrolled the earth’ are scarcely mentioned by scholastic writers, church leaders and reputable press, and if scientists mentioned them at all, all it was usually to denounce or dismiss them as irrelevant.
Key aspects of Herodotus’ writing involved descriptions of advanced beings, living on Earth,
providing guidance and directions to local inhabitants. A generation of scholars examined the form and
structure of Herodotus’ records and concluded that his constant references to ‘gods’ was ‘full of
difficulty and frequently muddled with mythology’.

However, in a series of Harvard University Press books called simply, Herodotus, the following opinions
of Herodotus’s records was expressed:

‘It happens sometimes that the stories which have reached Herodotus from very distance land and seas, and which he duly reports without necessarily stating his belief in them, do in truth rest on a basis of actual fact.



Not all of the Herodotus’s records have been publicly released but the picture that emerges from researching what is available is extraordinary and necessity examination of his reference sources. They proved to be none other than initiated high priests of the Egyptian temple hierarchy, the men in charge of the age- old libraries and temple traditions. Of them, Herodotus said:
That these were real facts I learned at Memphis from the priests of Hephaestus. I got much other information also from conversation with these priests while I was at Memphis, and I went to Heliopolis and to Thebes, expressly to try whether the priests of these places would agree in their accounts with the priests of Memphis. The Heliopolitans have the reputation of being the best skilled in history of all the Egyptian priests, they proved to me that what they said was true.
The priests told Herodotus that sky-gods descended to Earth in 17,500 BC, and that traffic continued until 11,850 BC, after which ‘no god ever assumed mortal form’. The priests also told him that Osiris appeared in Egypt about 15,500 BC. Speaking of the great antiquity of the age of the gods, Herodotus remarked: ‘they (priest of Egypt) claim to be quite certain of these dates, for they have always kept a careful written record of the passage of time’.
Herodotus realized the vastness of the period about which he was writing, for he stated that since the legendary era of the gods ‘the sun had changed its usual position four times’, probably having in mind the precession of the equinoxes, already noted in an early chapter recorded in the tomb of Senmouth.



Additional documentation suggested that gods visited not only Egypt but also other parts of the planet in prehistoric times. History and sacred scriptures of most people contains a wealth of material portraying the descent of wisdom- bearing gods to Earth and their life among ignorant humanity. For centuries , the Dogon of Mali in Africa worshipped a pyramid with steps leading up to a square platform on top, where, according to one of their legends, sky gods landed on each of their visit to Earth in time past. The Dogon priests spoke of an epoch when gods came regularly ‘to play on Earth’ and taught the Elders how to divide and cultivate their land.
The astronomer priests of Babylon had stepped pyramids, the pinnacles of which were reserved for sky-beings descending to Earth. The pyramids of Chichen Itza and Tikal in Central America were very much like those of the Dogon and Babylonians, again, their purpose was similar …to provide specific sites upon which celestial visitors could land. Considering the isolation of the Old World from the Americas for thousands of years, it is a wonder that such identical structures and legends should have originated independently.
Egypt also had its flat-topped stepped pyramids, the oldest being the magnificent example at Saqqara within sight of the Great Pyramid. An ancient inscription found in the Pyramid Texts uncovered in the Valley Temple of Unas, in the same Saqqara complex read, ‘A stairway to heaven is laid for them so that they may mount up to heaven thereby’. The idea of building stepped pyramid s caught on and at Meidum another one was created, possibly for King Huni. Similarly, the mystery of the flat-topped sacred mountain of Gebel Barkal rising 90 meters (300 feet) high near the fourth Nile Cataract has never been solve. So sacred was the mountain that around 700 BC an enormous temple dedicated to the god Amun was built on its summits.
The Edfu Buildings Texts referred to a Company of beings on Earth called the Shebtui, and Coptic texts called the same group the ‘gods of Egypt’ who came from ‘the direction of the setting sun’ It seemed that the Company of gods into Egypt with a fully developed knowledge of the sciences needed to build the Great Pyramid.



Those suppositions are not generally accepted today, and shall probably be considered a live heresy in the field of classic Egyptology. Yet, some answer must be given to the question, ‘from whence sprang that extremely advanced knowledge?’ From records available, it appeared to literally spring into existence from nowhere for there is no evidence of its accomplishments preceding it. Diodorus Siculus visited Egypt around 40 BC and wrote:
The Egyptians themselves claimed that their ancestors were strangers who in very remote times settled on the bank of the Nile, bringing with themselves the civilization of their motherland, and art of writing and a polished language. They had come from the direction of the Setting Sun and they were most ancient.
Many may scoff at the idea that Egyptian, at the time, were suddenly evolved and their consciousness infused with a rare wisdom, but credence must be given to the documentation of ancient chronicles. Herodotus’ records were founded upon stories that endured the dust of the ages in the archives of Egypt and in Histories, probably his most celebrate work, he said: ‘Thus I give credit to those from whom I received this account of early Egypt …the priests say nothing but what is true….and I myself am persuaded’.
Unusual events are recorded to have occurred in those momentous years, implying the presence of an outside agency. Herodotus distinctly defined his initiated understanding between godly matters and humans matters by stating, ‘Now, the account s which they gave me (the Egyptian priests) with regard to mere human matter, and which they all agreed, were the following‘, and he then relayed a series of simple earthly issues associated with ‘some of the Greeks wishing to get a reputation for cleverness’ after learning a number of priestly secrets. That type of basic worldly narrative was in stark contrast to his understanding of the high priesthood’s portrayal of celestial visitors: ‘They called them gods’, he said.



Certainly more research is necessary to definitely discover that there are many sources, hidden for convenience or ignorance, where we can find the truth about a civilization that, every other day, is more mysterious as our historic archetype is.
