#Isaac newton alchemy code
Newton believed the Bible’s authors had a direct connection to the creator of the universe and that they encoded their knowledge into the text so that, when the time came, we could decrypt the code and use that knowledge. And he wanted to calculate when Christ’s Second Coming would arrive–when we would have to prepare for the apocalypse.
He also looked to the prophetic books of Daniel and John to see what predictions could be interpreted for the future. Newton didn’t just look to the proportions of the Temple of Solomon for secrets. Newton applied the same insights to the Bible. It’s not within the scope of this article to explore all the star-worship expressed in ancient architecture, but it’s no secret that archaic structures were built as treasure-troves of magical maths. But a Canadian kid, William Gadoury recently used constellations to discover the location of a lost Mayan city. Even if you’re familiar with Graham Hancock’s work you may be tempted to think that modern-day analysts project too much of their own obsessions into the meaning of ancient architectural techniques. We know for certain that the Egyptians and Mayans built their structures based on what they considered sacred geometry and meaningful stellar patterns. Where the Old Testament describes the Temple of Solomon, Isaac Newton believed there was special meaning embedded in the architecture. Thus, Newton also looked to the Bible for insights into the mechanical underpinnings of the world. So, studying the machinery of the universe was a spiritual act, and an act of sacred geometry. Honestly, what is a body (or even a thought) if not a geometric arrangement of primordial material? Isaac Newton believed that God had created the universe as some kind of machine, but that He was still present to tweak the system according to His divine will. A shape or a formula may be God’s way to communicate with us. Sacred geometry associates metaphysical or spiritual meaning to geometric constructs.

So it should be no surprise that he tried his hand at alchemy, revered the artist-engineer who he thought created the machinery of the cosmos, and looked to the ancients for wisdom and insight.
It was an indication that his focus lay just beyond our recorded knowledge, and that he had the sensitivity to acknowledge his ignorance before the great mystery. We can track the movements of objects, but what compels them to move in the first place? “I frame no hypotheses,” Newton answered. But his motivation was not something so quantifiable. A lot of physics is just crunching numbers and Newton was supremely good at that, as his legacy demonstrates. If mankind’s accumulated scientific learning constitutes a massive, abstract, mathematical work of art then Isaac Newton was one of the key artists and engineers of that beautiful machine–a living tome, more fragile than the species that created it, to unlock the secret powers of the living universe. In truth, Sir Isaac Newton possessed (or was possessed by) an unbridled curiosity which led him to pursue any avenue to discover truth and order among the variety of phenomena in our world. Surely, we might say, such a sharp intellect would disregard religious and magical explanations of the universe. In today’s polarized climate of theism vs atheism, one might wonder how such a mathematical genius, such a proponent of experimentation and the scientific method, could ever get lost in the subjective swamp of folklore and prophecy. Isaac Newton, inventor of calculus and namesake of Classical (or “Newtonian”) physics, was also a known biblical scholar and believed there was secret knowledge encrypted in the Bible.
Was Isaac Newton’s research into magick, alchemy and the occult more meaningful than his discovery of gravity?
