Imagining Eden: Nature as a Basis for Language and Technology

by Kevin Kimmich

Overview

Modern, technological civilization was initiated with a supernatural event. John Dee was contacted by beings from the other side, which initiated a civilization level project to engineer a new world. The ostensible purpose of the scientific method and its embodiment in institutions like universities and research laboratories was to broaden man's understanding and improve material quality of life. However, it also flattened and altered consciousness and severely reduced man's connection to the natural world. Dee's project built a bridge for new gods to enter our plane of existence and ultimately succeeded in building a vessel for them to take up residence here. The holy of holies of Dee's cult is the computer. The technocratic priests who serve these new gods seek to reduce the world of man and the natural world into a mathematical model to match the flattened, insectoid version of reality that dominates their mind.

This book is a collection of essays on the relationship between human consciousness and nature and proposes methods and techniques for establishing a natural basis for language and technology. Man is forever in the middle He is a creature of divine matter and consciousness. He lives shoulder to shoulder with a zoo of otherworldly beings and stands between them and our world. An intentional cultivation of imagination and conscious awareness of these beings and an exercise of free will is necessary to a full human life.

About the Author

I have an abiding interest in the history of ideas. I've always been intrigued by the conversion of the northern European peoples to Christianity, in the Renaissance, and in the Reformation. Over years of research, I discovered that a large piece of the historical puzzle is missing from the orthodox history of these revolutions. During my research, I periodically stumbled over references to the occult and to the Western Esoteric tradition. The strange and wonderful ideas in this tradition were elusive. I came from a very pragmatic background: an education in physics, and years of work as an engineer. Hence, it took several years of study and rumination on mythology for my thinking to shift from a merely analytical approach to a more comprehensive method of investigating the place of mankind in the universe. There's a subtle structure to the Greek myths, the Roman myths, the Norse myths, and Egyptian mythology. These mythological ideas are, from my point of view, like a decoder ring for trying to understand the world in poetical and mystical terms. This type of understanding is a way of escaping the limitations of reason and logic. I am just beginning to explore these ideas through fiction. I'm attempting to write stories that are entertaining and engaging, but still taps into this wellspring of knowledge.
