This is the introductory text of the "God Series" of books in which the Pythagorean Illuminati reveal, for the first time in the public domain, the "answer to everything".

Pythagoras provided a glimpse of the answer 2,500 years ago when he declared, "All things are numbers". The God series fully reveals what Pythagoras meant. Mathematics - built from numbers - is not an abstraction but is ontological: it actually exists. Numbers are real things. Specifically, they are the frequencies of energy waves. (Moreover, energy waves are simply sinusoidal waves: sines and cosines, meaning that the study of energy is the study of sinusoids). There are infinity energy waves, hence infinite numbers. No numbers are privileged over any others, so negative and imaginary numbers are as ontologically important as real numbers (upon which scientific materialism is exclusively based).

Real numbers correspond to space and imaginary numbers to time. Negative numbers are "antimatter": a mirror image universe.

Illumination began with Pythagoras and is the world's only "Logos" religion, i.e. a rational religion founded on mathematics, science and philosophy. It has no connection with Mythos religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam which are based on faith, superstition, irrationality, stories, parables, myths, legends and "divine revelations". These religions are false in every possible way.

Illumination is the sole true religion. It's the Grand Unified Theory of Everything, linking science, religion, psychology, philosophy and even the "paranormal". It does so via the only medium of truth and absolute knowledge: mathematics, which Pythagoras enigmatically declared to be the arche, the fundamental substance of existence.

This book provides the ultimate answers to the nature of existence. Whereas science is based on mathematical materialism, Illumination uses Leibnizian mathematical idealism. These are the only two possible models of reality. All other systems are bogus and worthless.

Three hundred years ago, it was still possible for an intelligent person to have read all of the books that constituted the whole knowledge base of the world.

Three hundred years ago, most intelligent people in the world believed that the world was a holistic, living organism of some kind, imbued with mind and divinity: matter was alive (hylozoism), or mind was everywhere (panpsychism), or God was involved in everything, everywhere (theism), or God and Nature were one (pantheism). A hundred years later, the world had become immensely specialized and complex, and the world was increasingly viewed by intelligent people as a vast, purposeless, clockwork mechanism. Either there was no God (atheism), or he was an extremely remote God of Rational Laws (deism) and not of revelation and personal salvation.

What is time? Scientists know how to measure time, but they have no idea what it actually is. This books explains the deep mystery of time. It clarifies all of the enigmas concerning the tensed and tenseless theories of time, and addresses McTaggart's famous claim that time is "unreal".

What is the most ingenious error in the history of science, so difficult to detect that only a genius could manage it? 

Euler's Formula is traditionally regarded as the most beautiful equation in all of mathematics. Yet it's so much more than that. It's the equation that governs the whole universe and even defines the human soul! 

It's the centrepiece of the hyperrational mathematical religion of the Pythagorean Illuminati, the most ancient secret society in the world.

Euler's Formula is the perfect complement for Leibniz's Monadology. Together, they form the most powerful intellectual combination in history, capable of explaining the whole of science and establishing a true grand unified theory of everything, embracing mathematics, science, philosophy, religion and psychology. It can even provide an entirely rational explanation of near-death and out-of-body experiences, and homeopathy. It also overturns Einstein's sacred principle of relativity and provides exactly the same mathematical results via an absolute framework that restores the reality principle.

Everyone has an ultimate secret, even God. Since the dawn of time, humanity has sought to discover this most precious of all things. Our finest minds, noblest souls and most adventurous spirits have quested for the Holy Grail, the Philosopher's Stone and the mystical Blue Flower of transcendent perfection. 

The central claim of rationalism is that a sufficiently clever person, sitting alone in their room, could work out all of the principles of existence, everything that makes our world what it is. No faith and no sensory observations or experiments are required. No one needs to spend billions building a Large Hadron Collider. However, you DO require the mind of a genius, and it's not an atom smasher you need but a bullshit and fallacy smasher. 

Hyperrationalism differs from rationalism in one crucial regard. It asserts that all rational truths are mathematical and that the universe is 100% mathematical.

"Hyperreason" is the extraordinary and mind-boggling story of the attempts down the ages of the rational and hyperrational to explain reality via thought alone.

The Noosphere is a "thinking atmosphere" that has been evolving on Earth since the dawn of humanity. The internet is a physical manifestation of it: a worldwide linked network; a global information exchange between people. But what comes next? Does mind detach itself from bodies? Can the collective consciousness of humanity leave Earth and soar off into the heavens on the most amazing of all cosmic journeys? Is the Noosphere a Soul Sphere, composed of the souls of all good, enlightened, moral, rational human beings, and leaving behind the souls of all the greedy, selfish, hateful monsters and psychopaths who have ruled our world? Imagine the Soul Sphere merging, finally, with the "God Sphere" and establishing a Society of the Divine. Is that the ultimate destiny of higher humanity? 

What is history's biggest lie? It's that there's one "God", that he Created the universe out of nothing and made Adam from the dirt of the Garden of Eden, with Eve then being generated from one of Adam's ribs! Nothing has done more damage to the human psyche than monotheism - the doctrine of an all-powerful "Spy God" who watches what everyone does (the divine peeping Tom) and sentences to perpetual pain in his cosmic torture chamber of hell anyone who doesn't slavishly worship and obey him. 

In fact, the universe is a mathematical "God factory" and creates infinite Gods over eons of time, via the optimization of the cosmic equation (the universal wavefunction), which is entirely mathematical.
