BOOK REVIEW

Destiny Matrix
by Jack Sarfatti

Book Review by Jaye C. Beldo - Interview with Jack Sarfatti below!

 

In 1953, Jack Sarfatti alledgedly received a series of mysterious phone calls, presumably from the future. The voice, which informed the young boy that he was being chosen amongst 400 other "genuises," was described as "distant, cold, metallic." Such a tone should have been a red hammer and sickle flag to the young Jack, or at least to his mother, who eventually told the callers to leave her boy alone, that there was probably no compassion to be brought forth in the mysterious mission that he was being chosen for. No emotion, no feeling, no love; the very things that science is in short supply of these days.

As a predominantly feeling and intuitive person, I only make this point because I tried my damnedest to make my way through Sarfatti's braggadocio tome Destiny Matrix, only to run into the Wailing Wall of his Star Gate equations, which first emerge into the third dimension on page 122. This is not a criticism of the author himself, born of my inability to understand such physics, lumpen-innumerate that I am, but rather of Jack's rather fuzzy intent for writing the book in the first place.

Did he do it to geometrodynamically dazzle us in Mensa fashion? Or does he sincerely want to inform us about what could possibly be the means to a truly liberatory omega point hidden within post quantum physics? He does fancy himself a "theatrical physicist" as the subtitle of the book confesses. We only need to get a clearer bead on exactly what kind of script he is following, who is staging/directing the production, who his handlers are and whether his ongoing, off-broadway run is a classified Top Secret MK project.

At a loss about how to approach a review of Destiny Matrix, I did my fair share of reality checks with other writers and editors who have come across the book. One writer, who will remain unnamed, hints at the possibility that Destiny Matrix contains high level disinformation, which would prevent those competent in physics (and ethics) from producing truly free energy, instantaneous transport to other universes, etc. (the same type of disinformation that exists on the Leading Edge website and 'matrix' books edited by the pseudonymous Val Valerian).

I'm obviously not qualified to say whether this is true, but remember the voices from Sarfatti's past, or future as the case may be, were cold, metallic and distant. I'd trust the author's quantum summations more if the voices on the Cold War phone had been warm, fluid and intimate. I'd trust his work even more if he was summonsed into action by Namagiri-the Hindu goddess, who inspired the mathematician Ramanujan to conjure up equations which startled the pasty faced Cambridge Apostles (see the book, The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genuis Ramanujan by R. Kanigel)

Physics desperately needs to integrate some poetic metaphors into its realm, to help bridge the gap, primarily between the cold/analytical and the warm/ intuitive. Paul LaViolette in his book Earth Under Fire does a fairly impressive job of using the major arcana of the tarot to describe cosmological phenomena and posits the theory that the cards were solely designed for use as esoteric transmitters of such knowledge in the first place.

The late Itzhak Bentov also comes to mind. He did his best to break free of establishment science in a heart centered way, trying to make his own heretical insights available to us non-scientific folk. In his most well known work, Stalking the Wild Pendulum, Bentov combines his analytic erudition with humorous and enlightening cartoons which inspire us to understand such things as iso-electric fields, the interactions between white and black holes and other universal peculiarities. A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness: a Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation goes even further in making metaphysical and scientific things more accessible to the analytically challenged.

It is along these lines that I was hoping Destiny Matrix would follow, but Jack's megalomania gets in the way throughout. Instead of such informative renderings as described above, we get page after page of Sarfatti posing with famous people such as Francis Ford Coppola, Sukie Sedgewick and other physicist groupies. I'm glad to see that Jack loves to party with the beautiful people. I can't put him down for that. But flaunting his high society connections as he does in the book (and on his website as well) does nothing to foster at least a remedial understanding of post quantum physics.

Aside from a most helpful illustration of M.C. Escher's "Drawing Hands" which assisted me somewhat in understanding the "post quantum principle of self creation," heuristic illustrations are sorely lacking throughout Destiny Matrix. Perhaps some Asuric or Ahrimanic savant in another dimension is manipulating the false shell of personality in the author, thus sabotaging the possibly world transforming potential of post quantum physics. If Sarfatti were really street smart, he'd transcend all of this relentless fanfare crap, market some Destiny Matrix flashcards which would burn his bewildering equations into our neurocircuits, so we could fully comprehend them.

Men like Gods
Lone Nutter News interviews Jack Sarfatti

Lone Nutter News: Do you think that the Post-Quantum physics you describe in Destiny Matrix will be the final blow to the Newtonian paradigm which still persists in our socio- economic systems, in politics and, ironically enough, in science?

Jack Sarfatti: Good question. My answer is "Yes."

LNN: Is there anything we can do to further accelerate the breakdown of the Newtonian paradigm, i.e., open ourselves to the same messages from the future as you have? In other words, how can we become more aware of our own Destiny Matrices? I'm speaking as someone who only has an intuitive grasp of quantum and post quantum physics.

JS: That is too psychological or even spiritual question for me. I am only a warped quantum mechanic down in the Engine Room. :-) Seriously, ask Russell Targ about that, or Jeffrey Mishlove, or Fred Alan Wolf.

LNN: I only ask these questions because of all the Aquarian hype about the inevitable merging of the spiritual and the scientific. Such a merger has been hinted at in The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra and more recently with The Spiritual Universe by Fred Alan Wolf, also an excellent book called The Quantum and the Lotus (a dialogue between a Buddhist monk and a physicist). Are scientists doomed to forever remain separate from the spiritual-the psychological, i.e., trapped in the Engine Room?

JS: Yes, it's Bohr's Complementarity Principle. To the extent you get more spiritual you stop doing physics. I mean if you seriously meditate and also if you spend too much time with people and their emotional issues. Physics is difficult and is a Stern Jealous Mistress - All Consuming, The Dark Energy of The Black Widow. ;-)

LNN: Maybe you just haven't found her G-Spot yet ;-)~ On that note, let's take things to a more pragmatic level then. What use value does post quantum physics have? Will it enable us to patch up ozone holes, alleviate pollution,get people to kick their antidepressant addictions? Or has this science already been co-opted by the military only to be used to further destroy the planet?

JS: It will enable us to be Men like Gods, like Q in Star Trek. Why do you think THEY put me on this primitive planet? ;-)

LNN: And for my final question, a trick one at that: What are the possibilities of a future intelligence beaming Marylin vos Savant back into the 1970's hit T.V.show Hee Haw? What would she say to the audience as she rises out from some Tex-Arkana corn field?

JS: Why Tex-Arkana?

LNN: Because it is sufficiently above the 33 degree line-enough so to prevent Freemasonic interception/distortion of the Savant transmission.

JS: If you read my book "Destiny Matrix" carefully you will find a very significant reference to Texarkana, I think it's in a footnote. Happy hunting. Let's see how good a detective you are.

LNN (after finding Texarkana reference in the index of the book): So what would Marilyn vos Savant say to Joe Peeples, the Mid-East arms dealer from Texarkana mentioned in your book if they were both on the Hee Haw T.V. show? If you were beamed back to the Hee Haw show-beamed there by THEY who sent you to this primitive planet in the first place, what would you say or do?

JS: A+ :-)

LNN: My last question was not answered, but my spadework into Destiny Matrix seems to have been graded by Professor Sarfatti. With such ambiguity in mind, I'll leave it to the reader to judge the relevance/veracity of Mr. Sarfatti's place in the world of post quantum physics. P
