PURE HUMAN

In this very important and timely book, Gregg spells out the implications for our humanness of a transition to transhumanism – 'Human 2.0' – in accordance with the Fourth Industrial Revolution promoted by Silicon Valley and the World Economic Forum (WEF). He sees true evolution as a recognition and remembrance of our inherent divinity, while the prospect held up by transhumanists is for a merging of human and machine, as also advocated by Yuval Noah Harari. Gregg interprets this as devolution rather than evolution into 'a hybrid species of synthetic bodies, artificial intelligence, and computer chips that limit our ability to think, to love, and to adapt to the conditions of the emerging world in a healthy way.' He adds that 'in doing so, we will also lose our capacity for emotion, empathy, intimacy, and forgiveness – the very qualities that we value and cherish as our humanness.' (my emphasis) In other words, we will become less human and more robotic. Many of these developments are already in the pipeline and so now is the time to become aware of this crucial and fundamental choice before we are overtaken by events.

Interestingly, one of the motivations is to 'fix the flaws' in the human operating system – a view with parallels to original sin that requires redemption. In the transhumanist case, what they regard as a flaw is our very emotional and spiritual nature that gets in the way of rational decision-making. This is very much a left hemisphere view aimed at tightening manipulation and control of the human population. Gregg defines human divinity as the ability to transcend our perceived limitations, and he argues that we each have a personal code of divinity to unlock our deepest potential. Fascinatingly, in a chapter about the ancient message coded in our DNA, he explains how, using gematria – translating letters into numbers in the ancient cuneiform languages of Sanskrit, Arabic, and Hebrew – heaven is equivalent to soul, yielding the message 'God eternal within the body.' This is who we all really are.

In this book and in a number of YouTube podcasts, Gregg explains that we are in the midst of a battle for our humanness and that the changes proposed, once implemented, will be irreversible. Moreover, our fundamental human qualities and capacities are likely to atrophy. Archetypally, we are in a battle between good and where evil is represented by fear, control, manipulation, compulsion and will to power. This is the opposite of love and compassion represented by the heart, and it is a connection to our inherent divinity represented by the power of the Spirit that can free us from fear. This view is underpinned by an understanding that the universe is alive and active in our own evolution, which includes an unnatural fusion of chromosomes (pp. 29 ff) that belies random mutation. The goal of transhumanism is effectively to erase the link between the human and the divine (pp. 65 ff) and bypass our inherent ethical sense of what is right. Just because we have the technology does not mean that we are obliged to use it to introduce a new form of eugenics. Gregg explains three phases of the proposed transhumanist revolution involving neural implants, synthetic bodies, and consciousness stored on a computer chip – this last point assumes, incorrectly, that consciousness is simply electrical impulses generated in the brain. Moreover, cloning experiments have so far not produced the intended results, arguably because they are out of resonance and disconnected from life processes. (p. 87) Moreover, an important goal of transhumanists is for human reproduction to be outsourced to technology in artificial wombs, thereby replacing the biological functions of the woman. One shudders to think of the emotional damage that would be incurred.

On the contrary, Gregg argues that we are the future we've been waiting for whereby 'consciousness informs itself through its creations.' He explains what he calls pure human technology in relation to ourselves and DNA (p. 100 ff) enabling us to self-regulate through our advanced soft technology 'through the user interfaces of thought, feeling, emotion, breath, and other epigenetic factors.' We also have the capacity to create an optimised state of heart-brain coherence, and possess hidden creative powers that can bring about miraculous healings and the manifestation of 'your future dream as a present fact' according to the extraordinary thinker Neville Goddard, whose work I commend to you.

The last two chapters asks whose idea of progress are we following – human or hybrid – and how do we de-programme ourselves from the spell of technology. Gregg's discussion is very well informed, especially in relation to events since 2020 fronted by the WEF's Great Reset and presented as inevitable – where 'the entire system will be governed automatically by sophisticated algorithms, deep surveillance, and an advanced system of AI' – if readers are not up to speed on the aspirations of technocracy, I recommend the work of Patrick Wood and a recent podcast by Dr Aaron Kheriaty. It is essential to be aware of what Gregg brilliantly discusses here, and how this relates to the partnership with the UN and the 2030 SDGs as the enforced mode of implementation. (pp. 166 ff) He describes the chilling features of transhumanist society where authorities will have access to our innermost thoughts and feelings. Intriguingly, he reports on alien abductions as a means of warning us about the technological choices we are in the process of making, where they in the past 'chose to replace their natural bodies with machines and gadgets.' We are precisely at this crucial moment of choice, and we need to be fully aware of the implications.

The final chapter reiterates how the Great Reset is based on 'diminishing our humanness in exchange for digital supremacy and control of all life… it is we humans who must be modified and digitally enhanced to fit into the world they envision.' (p. 197) Moreover, 'everyone must participate.' Gregg reminds us that 'the worldly expressions of our divine nature are also expressions of the sacred and even deeper values of freedom: freedom of thought, freedom of sharing ideas, freedom of imagination and creativity, freedom of self-reliance, and the freedom to share with others what inspires us in our lives.' (p. 205) The means at the disposal of world leaders include fifth generation information warfare, where minds and brains are directly targeted – see my review of Michael Nehls' The Indoctrinated Brain in PE 145.

This is what Gregg calls the Dangerous Game – a large scale social engineering and propaganda project using the most sophisticated psychological techniques that were fully deployed during Covid and now in the Ukraine war. We are encouraged to turn against each other and to shun those who question the mainstream narrative. The means are neatly summarized by Saul Alinsky as 'pick the target, freeze it, personalise it, and polarise it.' Gregg identifies the tactics involved, including the use of manipulation through fear and guilt, and ensuring that there is no way out other than what is suggested by the authorities (problem, reaction, solution). He also spells out remedies for these tactics in terms of the need for independent critical thinking, and saying no to the addictive lure of scanning social media feeds.

He concludes that when we choose the remedies, 'the indoctrination fails, and the Dangerous Game is over.' To describe this book as essential reading for our time would be an understatement. The message is summarised at the end in a series of 70 succinct Pure Human Truths, reminding us that we must 'openly claim our humanness and the values that we cherish in our species as sacred,' and that it is all about love and preserving the gift of our humanness 'over the illusion of progress and efficiency that is presented to us through advanced technology.' A book to put on the top of your pile.

Note: I will be speaking to Gregg about this book on June 12.
