Fission

Felix,
Before I address your last post I wish to request that you use some of this love energy that you have been preaching to us and apply it to yourself. We have been receiving complaints that you are rude and insulting. This last post was not as bad as some but even here you were not polite to Mindy.

If you do not start practicing harmlessness in your posts they will either be rejected or sent back for rewriting.

I do not have time to completely respond to the book you posted on your views but will make a few comments.

First, it is obvious that you will be difficult to deal with on the mental plane or higher for you yourself admitted that my treatise on nuclear energy was quite convincing but you decided to transcend facts (and principles IMHO) and go with what you feel. If we cannot discuss through the use of true facts and principles then any argument will become circular and go nowhere.

You keep insisting that DK was talking about fusion when writing about nuclear energy which will assist mankind in going into the new age. Now it is possible that fusion discoveries will be made that will be an improvement on what we have now, but we are NOT there yet. As I said. If you follow your own advice you would not buy a car equipped with current technology because of the hope they will have flying cars tomorrow.

Not once has DK even talked specifically about atomic fusion as it is understood today, so you are making a leap of faith in assuming that this is the energy he wrote of.

He specifically, however did talk about fission: Let me quote again:

"On the physical plane, the great scientific discovery, called colloquially the "splitting of the atom," will be turned eventually to the production of those conditions which will enable mankind to follow the good, the beautiful and the true. This men will then be able to do, freed from the dread presence of purely materialistic thinking. This is no idle vision or vague dream. Many scientists today (and particularly those who love their fellowmen) are not only visioning the non-destructive aspect of atomic energy but are already engaged in harnessing-for the good of humanity-some of its products and its radioactive properties." Rays & Initiations, Pg 648

How much clearer can the written word be? He specifically talks about the "splitting of the atom," which IS fission as the technology "which will enable mankind to follow the good, the beautiful and the true."

He further says that scientists "are already engaged in harnessing-for the good of humanity-some of its products and its radioactive properties."

This was written shortly after World War II when scientists were first starting to build nuclear reactors for peaceful generation of power. The technology here was fission. This is a fact that you cannot circumvent.

Even though greater technologies will come along, this technology is here now. We have all the tools to produce unlimited fission energy and with the a new generation of breeder reactors we could completely reprocess the nuclear waste. The nuclear waste processed through breeder reactors could supply us with all the power we need to last a thousand years. With that much safe energy fusion would only be looked upon as an added bonus.

You criticize Mindy for taking a quote out of context, but as I see it she was much more accurate in interpretation than yourself.

Let us examine the important part of the quote. Note my comments in parenthesis:

DK:
"We have dealt in broad and general manner with this question of electricity and have seen that fire essence or substance is resolved through internal activity (radioactive matter) and external heat (the shooting of a neutron into the nucleus) in such a manner that the electric fire at the center of the atom is liberated (split) and seeks a new form (two new atoms are created).

JJ:
This is a good description of fission. He described atomic fission later as an initiation for matter which liberates the internal life. He does not speak negatively of fission as you insinuate.

DK:
Through knowledge of the devas, (the form nature) Through external pressure and vibration, (producing heat and shooting neutrons at the nucleus) Through internal stimulation (radioactivity and atom splitting) , Through color applied in stimulation and vitalization, (creating Uranium isotopes or plutonium) Through mantric sounds (the secret of detonation) he will find the secret of atomic energy, latent in the mineral kingdom, and will bend that inconceivable power and force to the solution of the problems of existence. Only when atomic energy (the escaping life - pure energy) is better understood and the nature of the fourth ether (pure energy) somewhat comprehended, shall we see that control of the air (mind) which lies inevitably ahead."

JJ:
The amazing thing about this is that it was first published in 1925 before there was much knowledge of atomic energy. It is interesting that Alice A. Bailey lived to see a partial fulfillment of much of what he predicted about atomic energy.
