The Discovery Of Our (Crazy) Time: Seeking Results By Testing Is A Waste Of Timelessness. Our World Is In Chaos There are too many variables (actually infinite in number) that have a bearing, making conclusions drawn from any test-strategy essentially meaningless and arbitrary. For instance, you never know if a 2% success rate on a particular strategy was about to jump to 3% when you decided to change it. There is an anceint Hermetic Wisdom Solution You can change the strategy back and forth forever and find new results each time, only to find later that changing it at all actually lowered the overall effectiveness based on the testing process. The meaning of the results of any test is so limited by the parameters of the test itself as to be solipsistic in nature - or to state it another way, meaningful only in terms of an accepted hypothesis. Intuition Surpasses "External Evidence" For example, you might say that a pale of water his warm because it feels warm to the touch. That is an interpretation of a test result. But if you then soak your hand in even warmer water, and then return your hand to the first pale of water, you would then say that the water is cool. Or you might place a thermometer in a pale of water and say, “See, it is 75 degrees.” Then place that pale of water in a freezer for a few minutes and the test then shows that the water in the pale is actually 55 degrees. Chaos Theory Points To Solutions To Global Chaos There is actually no way to determine the actual temperature of that water because it reflects the testing environment, and there are always too many factors in any environment to entirely control or replicate. The purely empirical test-method is based on the Aristotelian, "scientific method" that lawyers use for concocting any argument to "prove" their case, however fallacious it might be and however detrimental to society it might become; politicians and propagandists rely on it when they point to isolated "facts" to pass on bias as truth; and greedy corporations use it when they select "scientific tests" to deliberately misrepresent their drugs, nuclear reactors and deep-drill oil rigs - to get those to market, with eventually disastrous consequences. Statistical Testing Proves Arbitrary As the Hermetic mystery wisdom teaching asserted from the beginning, the real science of any decision-making process is intuitive, and every life-experience is designed to offer us feedback to help us to refine our intuitive sensing, with no infallibility possible to human consciousness. The true facts are grasped only by those who follow this path into levels of consciousness beyond the human range - the true prophets, enlightened sages, and spiritual masters. Every interpretation of any test finding (until we reach that higher level) is presumption, a best guess - a theory. The Wisdom Of The Ancients And Our Future Respectable scientists themselves remind us that science is nothing more than the pursuit and creation of more and more refined and inclusive theories - but still it is only capable of creating theories, not asserting truth. And the fallibility of this approach is now proving self-sabotaging, as "science" has taken our world to its current crisis of global chaos and civilization melt-down. There is too much that is arbitrary in any method that is based on "external", physical or statistical evidence, for it provides only a presumptive determination at best, which constitutes the inherent limits, fallibility and ultimate unreliability of statistically based decisions. I believe that you will find the above verified by quantum physics - specifically "chaos theory", which brings the scientist to the realization of the ultimate senselessness inherent in empirical deduction and the need for a different approach for "knowing" - more and more they are led to the wisdom of the ancients which presents training for clairvoyance (clear seeing, intuitive perception, inspired realization). The Path Of Spiritual Awakening Works Empirical testing is now anachronistic. Even if a test-proven strategy produces great results in the short term, there is no way of knowing if even greater results were possible more quickly by following another strategy. And to attempt to make empirical findings increasingly conclusive would take endless time and money, with no genuine conclusiveness ever coming out of it.
