Newton: "Jesus Is 'The Ether'"

(Conspiracy Nation, 06/30/05) -- It has been revealed that renowned natural philosopher Isaac Newton, author of Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("The Principia"), equated Jesus Christ with The Ether.

This has been revealed by Michael White in his book, Isaac Newton: The Last Sorcerer. Specifically, White states Newton had proposed "the incorporeal ether which facilitates the phenomenon of gravitation (and perhaps other forces) is actually the body or spiritual form of Jesus Christ." (Emphasis added)

The Ether, a concept in physics, has been discussed in past issues of Conspiracy Nation. (See e.g. "Ether Abandoned," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Ether.html and "Insipid Realities," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Insipid.html)

In his time, Isaac Newton had been a secret devotee of the so-called "Arius Heresy." This belief denied the so-called Trinity belief, that Jesus is consubstantial with God the Father. Arianism is eerily similar to Islam, which also denies Trinitarianism. (e.g., "There is no God but God; there is no God but Allah.") Arius beliefs also intersect with Gnostic beliefs in questioning a material, physical incarnation of Jesus. (See "Evolution Of Christianity," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/EvolChrist.html)

To Newton, a repeated basic principle was, "God does nothing by himself which he can do by another." In Newton's view, God used The Ether (Jesus) to accomplish certain things.

This Newtonian concept of Jesus as The Ether "described neatly the way in which God could preside over his creation without dirtying his hands by direct contact with the physical world," writes White (op. cit.)

To the gnostics, this was paramount: the material world was evil; spirit could not descend into this evil realm; Jesus (to them) could only have been a sort of hologram, not a material being. Jesus could thus be The Ether, more-or-less banished now by "science."

White (op. cit.) summarizes Newton's idea: "...the spiritual body of Jesus, the first created, was the facilitator for the creation of the physical universe, provided the means via which the cosmos continued to function mechanically, and acted as a medium via which forces acted at a distance without any visible, tangible, measurable (See "Can It Be Measured?" http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Measured.html) mechanism." (Emphasis added.)
