Luke Lafitte

Examines the role that machines play in the struggle between “spiritual man” and “mechanical man” throughout the ages• Explores how we naturally project consciousness onto machines and how this is reflected in human culture, science, artificial intelligence, and literature • Demonstrates a direct connection between consciousness and the history of machines in American history • Looks at the contributions and influence of Grace Hopper, Richard Feynman, Philip K. Dick, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Elon Musk, David Bohm, Norbert Wiener, and Steve Jobs as well as the Nag Hammadi Gnostic gospels Humans invented and constructed machines to aid them as far back as the Stone Age. As the machines became more complex, they became extensions of the body and mind, and we naturally began projecting consciousness onto them. As Luke Lafitte shows in detail, although machines complicate the already complicated issue of identity, because they are “ours” and “of us,” they are part of our spiritual development. In this sweeping exploration of the history of the machine as a tool, as a transpersonal object to assist human activity, and as a transitional artifact between spirits and the humans who interact with them, Lafitte examines the role that machines play in the struggle between “spiritual man” and “mechanical-man” throughout history. He interprets the messages, archetypes, and language of the unconscious in the first popular stories related to mechanical-men, and he demonstrates a direct connection between consciousness and the history of machines in American history, specifically between the inventors of these machines and the awakening of our imaginations and our powers of manifestation. He examines the influence of Philip K. Dick, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Grace Hopper, Richard Feynman, Elon Musk, David Bohm, and others and shows how the Nag Hammadi gospels explain how we can take back our myth and spirit from the machine. Although the term mechanical-man is a catch-all phrase, Lafitte shows that the term is also a meeting ground where extra-dimensional communications between different forms of matter occur. Every machine, android, robot, and cyborg arose from consciousness, and these mechanical-men, whether real or fictive, offer us an opportunity to free ourselves from enslavement to materialism and awaken our imaginations to create our own realities.

THE CALL: THE INITIATION: THE RETURN.Methodist Hospital-Richardson, Texas-Second floor-Psych ward. That's when I recognized that the call of the quest would keep calling for eternity if I didn't accept it. Nevertheless, ascension is hard to accept in a materialistic cause and effect consciousness. To say the least, acceptance to ascension or what Christians call resurrection is not easy Perhaps that's why I'm always reminded of the quote from Christ in The Book of Thomas. That quote has a big role in the calling phase of the quest. Indeed, it has a big role in all three phases of it: the calling; the initiation; and the return. You didn't really think I would share the quote now, did you? No, your journey and our collective journey is only now beginning or perhaps ending a beginning.I was here in the psyche ward because walking between the two Archangels Lucifer and Michael is not a task you take lightly and accept without hesitation. It's a journey of density, magnetics, and polarity. Embracing the lightest of the light and the darkest of the dark to get to the Captain holds the Angels in a state of perplexed awe at such an accomplishment. What follows is all the secret knowledge that we once knew prior to the fall of mankind, when matter became so dense that we mistakenly thought the Gods were dead.

Behold, all of your deepest, darkest, philosophical and esoteric questions are answered in this three-volume series. Follow one man's quest to uncover civilization's biggest secrets that time has long since buried. The story follows a lawyer/professor confined to stints in numerous mental hospitals and rehabilitation centers who believes he is a precocious teenager in London named James Lucas. What one reader has called Harry Potter in Wonderland for adults will answer every question the human mind has posed in terms of metaphysics, esotericism, and cybernetics. The quest itself will change the reader's consciousness, placing it on a higher plane of awareness and transforming one's cybernetic imaginings of subjectivity into objective reality. At the conclusion of the entire series, the only question that will remain for readers is whether the fantastic journey is fiction or non-fiction.

His non-fiction book, The Mechanical Man in the Garden: Technology and the Cybernetic Ideal in America, is a follow-up to Leo Marx's The Machine in the Garden: Technology and the Pastoral Ideal in America. Lafitte learned under Dr. David F. Channell, author of The Vital Machine, and Prof. Thomas Riccio, software writer for Hanson Robotics and Professor of Ritual Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas.
