MysTech is dedicated to driving positive change for our future by steering the role that technology will play in society and human evolution in the light of spiritual science. The past century has witnessed astonishing advances in technology that have impacted our day-to-day lives, health, and consciousness in profound and unexpected ways. When we consider the impact of technology in the context of our evolution as both physical and spiritual beings, how might it contribute to our future? Will continued advances in technology be a benefit or a burden for the potential of humankind? How must we respond to modern technological developments in order to shape the future towards the good?
In this conference you will gain new insights about the mysteries of technology from the perspectives of spiritual science through the original research of our distinguished speakers across a broad range of fascinating topics. You will also gain a new appreciation for social three-folding, biodynamics, eurythmy, and more, and learn how these methods and thought-forms can help us to meet the coming challenges of the modern age.
Through the decoding of the human genome and ongoing genetic studies, we are beginning to understand how the sequence of our own genome influences susceptibility to disease, and human traits including, for example, intelligence and longevity. Technologies now exist that permit targeted modification of the genome, and some think that it just a matter of time until germline genome modification will become accepted. If so, transhumanism could be much more than a simple merging of our consciousness with artificial intelligence, it could fundamentally alter our genome and evolution as a species. How should we interpret Rudolf Steiner’s indications about the future in light of such developments?
This talk was based on work I did with a young man suffering from severe digital addiction. Since I have practiced user experience design for web sites for 26 years, I understand how users can be “hooked”, as we say in the business, to a particular platform such as Facebook. While working with the young man, I studied the techniques for forming online user habits in detail. For both gamblers and social media users, researchers have found the science of behavioral modification is being applied at scale to ensure a steady flow of profit for their parent companies. This talk examines the techniques used to gain control over user attention and autonomy and their effects on young people in particular. The talk ends by providing specific techniques based on anthroposophical principles to overcome online behavioral conditioning through smart social media usage.
Reportedly Rudolf Steiner told Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (1899-1961) that the achievement of the Tao envisioned in true moral technology would not occur until the threefold societal organism was alive in at least a significant geographical area on earth. But true sister-brotherhood may not be achieved until the 6th epoch. We in the Michael School need to face the facts of our time courageously. Let’s keep the threefold model in our imaginations and hearts as we interact socially patiently and forgivingly, like parents of teenagers. As Bernard Lievegoed pointed out in 1970, the social versus antisocial tension will continue for a few hundred years.
“Hegel always stood completely within his milieu. The riddles of his surroundings worked deep within him… Out of this spirit too arose Hegel’s Logic – no ordinary logic, but something entirely different… One is moved to say that the most singular of all kinds of human striving on the highest-level manifests itself in this Hegelian logic … understood as logos or universal reason.”[Spiritual Science as a Foundation for Social Forms, lecture 9, 27Aug1920, GA 199]
About 100 years ago a confluence of events unfolded in Europe. Steiner was giving lectures on the Threefold Social Order and central to this series was a lecture on Aug 27th 1920 to mark Hegel’s 150th birthday. Around that time, it was also nearing the end of the Spanish Flu epidemic, where similar to today the world was thrown into chaos. This summer will mark the 250th anniversary of Hegel’s birth and 100 years’ time from the recognition afforded by Steiner of the lasting deeds of Hegel’s profound work on logic.
Within Hegel’s Logic is a method of perceiving how a synthesis of knowledge and experience brings us into the spiritual. Rather than get pulled into one extreme, or one aspect of reality, we rise above these forces of opposition to live with a higher consciousness. The polarities of East and West, Capitalism and Communism, Cultural life vs Economic are all balanced in the middle region, in the breathing space of the rhythmic system.
We will elaborate an understanding for Hegel’s Science of Logic, and come to understand how his work on the ‘objective spirit’ envisioned the life of rights into the future. The expression of rights, morality and justice are all to be managed within the political domain. This domain is the middle of the three spheres of Threefolding and is the most connected to the earth. It is in many ways the least spiritual. For this reason, extra effort must be exerted to redeem the earthly Ahrimanic logic and raise this life of rights to the spirit.
Science and technology develop in a cultural and social context. In early cultures this was a context with systems of initiation. In Ancient Greek culture the connection with the spiritual world was lost. According to Rudolf Steiner evil forces began to inspire the development of science in the Academy of Gondhishapur. Here lies the origin of modern materialistic science. It is embedded in materialistic views of the soul and society. Our societies function in such a way that economic motives create conditions for the development of a technology that enslaves human beings instead of liberating them. With his impulse of Social Threefolding and his School for Spiritual Science, Rudolf Steiner wanted to create the proper conditions for a society in which spiritual and moral consciousness can direct the future course of science and technology. Otherwise the initiates from the modern Gondhishapur, the mystery school of Ahriman, will continue to dominate our world.
Ten years ago, I began by studying and writing about the HAARP ionospheric heater and the Morgellons fibers being delivered in aerosols from jets. The second book dove deep into the planetary infrastructure of Lockheed martin’s Space fence lockdown. Now I’m plummeting deeper still into the third and final book on the synthetic biology aspect of the present assault on the etheric in order to drive humanity toward the Transhumanist cyborg / virtual reality nightmare prophesied by Rudolf Steiner in his post-1917 lectures about the Double, shadow Brotherhoods, subnature, and the Eighth Sphere. This era of etheric assault was first announced by the 9/11 blood sacrifice of 2001, then one Metonic Cycle later by the present PANdemic. We are thus reminded of our 21st century task: to study and name evil for what it is. This era holds an extraordinary opportunity for development if we so choose to take it up.
Contrasting Conventional and Alternative Technologies with the Prospect of Developing Moral Technologies based upon Esoteric Knowledge Inspired by Spiritual Science. This would involve exploring the polarity between conventional energy sources referred to as sub-nature forces in Spiritual Science such as Electricity Magnetism Electromagnetism and Nuclear Energies and the potential of harnessing the Etheric Formative Super-Nature Forces as exemplified by the pioneering work of John Worrell Keely, Viktor Schauberger and hinted at by the inventor Straader in Rudolf Steiner’s Mystery Dramas. I will seek to unveil the esoteric secrets hidden behind the wielding of the TAO/TAU Force and their connection to the Mysteries of the Holy Grail. Part 2 will be on Saturday.
Rudolf Steiner described three future occultisms. In the West and in America in particular, a mechanical occultism was to be founded. MysTech endeavors to be an organization to cultivate this. Its goal may seem similar to Transhumanism. We’ll deepen our understanding of our tasks and their importance for the future. Part 2 on Saturday.
I will give a summary of my survey into ‘fringe’ resonance research and make suggestions for potential avenues of research that could be taken further. I will address the question: what would resonant technology be used for? Then, I will present my investigation into the sympathetic vibratory physics that is the theory behind Keely’s motor.
Musical intervals less customary to the West offer humanity a window for peering into the inner workings of the molecular world and its subtle forces. Take a tour through microtonal instruments of ancient cultures and more recent electronic developments, as we uncover what these instruments can tell us about vibration and inner correspondence.
Can we experience cosmic vibration when using our bodies as instruments of music? In our brief time together, we will explore the intervals, this active silence which lives between the tones, and their respective spatial forms. It is said these interval forms “show a clear relationship with the form of the images we know as Chladni’s sound figures which show clearly the form-generating power of the vibrating sounds.” We will close each session with the musical TAO. Bring a joy-filled heart. No eurythmy experience is necessary.

Hegel's Redemption of Logic and the Life of Rights

The Future of Technology an Esoteric Perspective: Part 1
Contrasting Conventional and Alternative Technologies with the Prospect of Developing Moral Technologies based upon Esoteric Knowledge Inspired by Spiritual Science. This would involve exploring the polarity between conventional energy sources referred to as sub-nature forces in Spiritual Science such as Electricity Magnetism Electromagnetism and Nuclear Energies and the potential of harnessing the Etheric Formative Super-Nature Forces as exemplified by the pioneering work of John Worrell Keely, Viktor Schauberger and hinted at by the inventor Straader in Rudolf Steiner’s Mystery Dramas.

Musical intervals less customary to the West offer humanity a window for peering into the inner workings of the molecular world and its subtle forces. Take a tour through microtonal instruments of ancient cultures and more recent electronic developments, as we uncover what these instruments can tell us about vibration and inner correspondence.
In 1995-1996 a small group of us built a replica of John Keely’s Musical Dynasphere. This device showed consciousness and an ability to influence the local environment. Further, the device aids one near it to feel and remember Universal Peace and Love as it encourages one to Awaken to Christ Consciousness.
I’ll be showing how the experimentum crucis of Newton is compromised, and has led to the entire modern view of color and wavelength. The real relation between wavelength and color, and the connection with Goethe’s color wheel.
The evolving spheres of influence emanating from the AI world which is not a monolith in itself and only General AI or Super intelligent AI are the fields moving toward independent learning. the perfect storm of applied computer interfaces in limb replacements, neuro-behavioral training via EEG, global information-based training via petaflops of data being fed to algorithms all heading for the Holy Grail of creating life from scratch. However, Steiner had predicted this and even showed a roadmap. He also showed the caveat to this. We will explore his prediction in light of where we are now and see where MysTech fits into the inevitable pattern.
Here we will explore the question concerning biorhythms and the initiation of a new kind of living machine. We will follow some of the living dynamics of water within living organisms, from the heart to an annual herb to a tree and perhaps even to a farm itself, in order to provide a broader context for the future reality of etheric machines.
All processes in the physical world are constituted out of the supersensible. There is an intentional relation from the spiritual world and realizing forces on the level of the elemental beings. We humans take part on these levels – consciously or unconsciously – in a reciprocal interaction. Indications are given in the lecture as to how these relationships can be grasped and formed more consciously.

The Effect of Technical Devices on the World of Humans – The Effect of Humans on Technical Devices
All processes in the physical world are constituted out of the supersensible. There is an intentional relation from the spiritual world and realizing forces on the level of the elemental beings. We humans take part on these levels – consciously or unconsciously – in a reciprocal interaction. Indications are given in the lecture as to how these relationships can be grasped and formed more consciously.
Have a question about the conference? We would love to hear from you.
How can we rightly understand science and apply it to technology? This, as a moral question, is what MysTech seeks to answer. The evolution of science beyond its boundary with the physical world is one of the main missions of MysTech. Another is, from this understanding, to realign science with human freedom and from this create technologies that can evolve in a symbiotic nature with our natural, conscious and spiritual evolution.
Currently, MysTech provides education and the means for participation for all those in the various fields of science and technology to work on these very important questions and share research toward this end. MysTech endeavors to conduct research towards its goals.

Hugh Lovel
As one who seeks to integrate quantum physics with agricultural practices, Hugh Lovel has always sought to understand life. First he studied mathematics and biochemistry, thinking this would unlock life’s mysteries, particularly the mind/body link. But in order to study life in vivo,in situ he shifted to psychology and biofeedback, finally investigating quality in agriculture in search of its links to human consciousness, feeling and volition. A hands-on musician, lithographer, mechanic, chef, carpenter, welder, and biodynamic farmer, Hugh founded Union Agricultural Institute near Blairsville, Georgia in 1978. In the process he discovered quality could only be achieved by reducing inputs and adjusting environmental patterns of energy to support a thriving biology and fertility. Author of A Biodynamic Farm and Quantum Agriculture, Hugh writes, teaches and consults for commercial growers as his commitment to an emerging economical, ecological and nutritionally dense agriculture as the basis for change in human physiology, consciousness and society.
Dale Pond
Dale Pond was born on February 6, 1950 in Washington, D.C. He evidenced a natural affinity for science when he memorized the periodic table at age ten. His writings recount a lifetime of psychic events, prophetic dreams and feelings of divine protection. In 1965, Pond’s traditional schooling ended when his father brought the family to the wilds of Brazil to homestead raw land. Pond remained there, engaging in pineapple farming and canning, until 1975 when he returned to the United States. Largely self-taught, he pursued an interest in Free Energy Technology. While foraging through the Edgar Cayce Library at Virginia Beach, Pond discovered the forgotten works of the 19th century inventor John W. Keely. He resolved to reconstruct the lost technology of the visionary savant, and in 1995, Pond built the first Dynasphere the world had seen since Keely created the prototype a century earlier. The device unexpectedly showed consciousness! Pond claims this was only possible with the active participation of John Keely, Walter Russell, Rudolf Steiner and others through the channeled information provided by psychic intuitive Dawn Stranges. He is the founder of The Pond Science Institute in La Junta, Colorado, dedicated to the study and application of Sympathetic Vibratory Physics. Pond has stated, “Mind Force and Love are real forces and are engineerable and applicable through technology and psychology (personal development).”
