Science has played a pivotal role in shaping society, driving innovation and fostering progress. It provides answers to questions, solves problems, and improves lives in countless ways.
So what happens when confirmation bias inhibits genuine exploration in what is not yet understood ?
This bias, rooted in our tendency to seek information that confirms preconceptions while disregarding opposing evidence, can stifle curiosity and impede the pursuit of truth.
In fact, it is currently limiting humankind from progressing.
We believe in allowing science to explore the unknown, challenge existing paradigms, and ultimately expand our understanding of the world.
By acknowledging and addressing confirmation bias, society can harness the full potential of science for the benefit of all.
Philosophers (meaning lovers of wisdom) diligently investigated reality in an effort to get to the ultimate truth no matter what it may have turned out to be.
They left no stone unturned. They reasoned about everything.
Rather than having one singular model, they had different schools of thought on matters.
And those different schools could debate on topics.
This was and is an important approach in thinking.
Particularly when it comes to things unknown.
Philosophy, largely started and formalized in Greece, in many ways was the foundation of science.
The word scientist wasn't coined until as late as 1834.
We've come a long way in such a short amount of time.
Yet today while there is a field of science for everything under the sun, one thing that has been an important part of humanity for eons is dismissed and attacked.
The Ancient Sciences.
It would probably surprise many that there is actually a lot of scientific data and supporting evidence for ancient thought.
Even those things considered 'spiritual' or 'magical'.
This sounds insane at first, but there is active censorship going on when it comes to Arcane matters and when you see it, you will know there is something to it.
So why is it being suppressed?
Three main problems exist:
Bias, Dogma, and Constraints.
1. Bias: Confirmation bias affects all human thought processes. Often we inherit core beliefs from our parents or from public education and live out our lives constantly supporting already-held beliefs by looking only at supporting evidence. Any evidence that goes against those already held beliefs is treated as a threat.
The major problem is this tunnel vision not only exists in individuals, but even more so in large groups. Scientific and skeptical communities, religious organizations and all manner of followings, especially political ideologies.
2. Dogma: Models about how reality works are created. Sometimes these models are built by a series of biases. These general models become like gospel and any research that lies outside of an already established model is dismissed or worse.
Sometimes theories with sound evidence that go against the established models are actively attacked.
This forms a kind of dogmatic behavior in the scientific community that in its extreme can even become cult-like. It's similar to when the Church branded people heretics for believing the Earth revolved around the Sun.
This dogmatic system leads to constraints.
3. Constraints: Constraints in funding, freedom of information, as well as constraints for open dialogue start taking hold. Funding will typically only be provided for research that further supports the preestablished models. This creates a vicious cycle of further Bias, deeper-rooted Dogma, and even more Constraints. Platforms for open discussion are not treated seriously or worse. All of this culminates into outright censorship. Researchers who dare to think outside of the box in the spirit of both freedom of speech and critical thought, are actively disparaged, often damaging their careers.
If they can't get funding, they can't make a living.
This leads to conformity to the Dogma.
This is not scientific.
It is not in the same vein as philosophy. It is devoid of the heart of science.
It goes against the scientific method.
It is not truth-seeking, unbiased, methodical, or in the spirit of freedom of thought.
It is the opposite of scientific.
These most ancient sciences might be called to the untrained eye 'mystical'.
Or worse, they might be dismissed as primitive superstition.
There exists a preestablished model that we as humans evolved in a strictly linear fashion. Going from primal animistic living to agricultural/religious living.
Then proceeded to where we are now, a trade and reason-based society.
While this model is undeniably true overall, closer investigation into our past may indicate that this was not a strictly linear progression.
That is to say, there may have been many dips and crests, rises and falls on our way to where we are now.
As well as many breakaway civilizations.
So if, for instance, humankind has been even more technologically advanced than we are currently, maybe we experienced a cataclysmic upset that resulted in us having to start over and revert back to hunting and gathering.
Perhaps the ancient stories are important.
We at the very least owe it to ourselves and to our ancestors to investigate this theory. Especially in light of now knowing that mass extinction events have taken place and can be verified empirically.
Because not only is this exactly what our ancestors told us happened (and more than once), but they may have been conveying information perhaps as important as warnings of world-ending events.
There is evidence that may support that these ancient stories were referring to things we are only just now starting to understand scientifically and technologically in very recent years.
Dimensions, subtle energies, patterns in creation, physical and mental capacities, the unified nature of all things, the afterlife, historic accounts, and so much more were described and understood (or at least accepted) by the ancients and we are coming full circle, finding similar concepts through our own science and technology today.
The furthest reaches of what we are currently capable of measuring in any scientific field, borders on what could be called mystical.
It not only begins to defy our structured and linear models, it begins to reaffirm the governing laws of reality that the ancients spoke about.
We are not making conclusions, but inviting investigation into this perspective.
If there is any merit whatsoever to any of this, it means that there could be a vast wealth of important knowledge right at our fingertips that merely needs decoding. Consider that if the human race were to cataclysmically collapse today, right now, the mountain of knowledge we have at our disposal, all technology, all civil niceties, would vanish.
We would have to try and get across everything we know in only one generation.
With the loss of the internet, all paper writings disintegrated, most of our collective knowledge would simply evaporate. All technology isn't held by any one person.
It is a collaborative effort to understand and maintain any given technology.
All tech would disappear.
It would be up to the survivors to pass down the knowledge as best as they could to their descendants. All of whom would have to exist as hunter-gatherers as they attempted to rebuild civilization.
Now imagine trying to explain the concept of 'energy' to a hunter-gatherer society. It is invisible yet powerful, is within us and all around us, keeps us alive, etc.
This could very well be the concept of what we now call 'spirit'.
Energy and Spirit could actually mean the same thing.
If even just one thread of this theory is true, it is worth pursuing.
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
As you will see, every time we look at the more arcane elements of what the ancients taught concerning energy, our history and much more, there is quantifiable evidence and scientific data to many things that have been considered mythological, mystical, pseudoscientific, spiritual, or superstitious.
This does not mean that everything the ancients spoke about is considered true.
That is why there is so much to go over right at the outset.
To weed out error from what is real.
It seems to lend credence to spirit not only being an energy, but our bodies- seem designed to generate and interact with the energy in and around us.
Our bodies are intricate and sophisticated chemical and electrical systems.
All around us are exciting mysteries ready to be explored with a more discerning philosophic and scientific lens.
That's why the Brown Focus is so important.
Each color-coded aspect of what we cover focuses on a unique angle of looking at all of this.
The Brown Focus will eventually work towards substantiating these findings and bringing awareness of a more formal approach to the public at large.
Before humankind dismisses the messages that were handed down generation after generation for thousands of years, we at least owe it to our ancestors to examine what it was they were trying to say with the tools at our disposal now.
And again, if even just one thread of all of it is true, it is worth pursuing.
We feel there is some important information found within these teachings that we use the umbrella term Arcane for. And there is an Arcane (or deep/hidden) aspect to every facet of reality. So we categorize reality into 7 distinct factions:
Pragmatic
Spiritual
Mental
Energetic
Natural
Dimensional
Mystical
Each of these Seven color-coded aspects are called Focuses.
This fundamental (the Coin Tool) talks about the Brown Focus.
The physical, rational, scientific and business aspects of the Arcane.
It would be easy for the skeptical mind to immediately dismiss such an effort, but consider that the concepts found in the Arcane were once the universal consensus. They seem to have some surprising supporting evidence, and are leading to some cutting-edge scientific discoveries.
To truly understand the mechanics however, we have to dig deep into these practices and truly experiment with them. We also have to be careful about avoiding pitfalls like creating our own biases or succumbing to things like superstition and other delusions. In this way, skeptics are in many ways foundational to the development of our message and the Temple itself.
The main issue is that we are pursuing already-controversial knowledge. It is being actively buried from the surface. Yet with a little digging you will see that there is something to all of this. It is among our first goals to quantify our findings and begin to publish the results.
To the pragmatic, some of what we will be covering early on might at first seem like odd tangents or even frivolous, but please try to genuinely consider them and come up with ways you might scientifically experiment with and test some of these topics. Even if only to disprove them.
In a time where few if any communities exist that authentically investigate these matters through a scientific lens, while experimenting with what might be called mystical or arcane matters, we want our community to develop into a bridge between technology and our ancestral inheritance.
Even if the subject of Arcane as a whole doesn't feel to suit you, consider pursuing with us all of the other subjects of study. We will look at History, Language, Mathematics, Anthropology, Energy and Physics, Nature and Sacred Geometry, Space/Time, Dimensions, Biology and Chemistry, and much more.
It is up to you what your field of specialty is. What you bring to the table. And you can use your findings to try and debunk or debate all of our other findings.
Debate is an important process in tempering the truth.

If any of this interests you, you might like the Brown Focus. You can apply it to every other Focus by studying, researching and experimenting with them.
If this isn't quite your cup of tea yet, keep explorin what is offered here and you may find your calling. You can start with a different tool if you like.
