 Pragmatism
brown mage_edited.jpg

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.
 
However, confirmation bias often inhibits genuine exploration, especially in realms considered arcane or unconventional. 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 from the state we are in.

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 truths no matter what it may have turned out to be. They left no stone unturned. Whether it was about the nature of nature itself, thought itself, ethics, politics and everything under the sun, debate and reason were of the utmost importance.
Rather than having one singular model, they had different schools of thought on matters. And those different schools could speculate and debate on these topics. This was and is an important apporach in thinking when it comes to the unknown. 

This process, largely 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 and an apparatus of research for everything under the sun, the Ancient Sciences that have been an important part of humanity for eons is dismissed and attacked. Why?

Three main problems exist today:
Bias, Dogma, and Constraints.

1. Bias: Confirmation bias affects much of our thought processes. Often we inherit core beliefs from our parents or through our education and live out our lives constantly supporting those core beliefs by looking only at supporting evidence. Then we dismiss evidence that goes against those already held beliefs.This tunnel vision exists in individuals but more problematically 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 and structure in the scientific community that in its extreme can even become cult-like. It reminds us of when the Church branded people heretics for believing the Earth revolved around the Sun.
This dogmatic system leads to constraints.
3. Constraints: Funding will typically only be provided for reserach that further supports the dogma, preestablished models and biases. This creates a vicious cycle of further Bias, Dogma and Constraints. Other constraints from this cycle result in outright censorship. Even attacking some researchers who dare to think outside of the box.
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 or in the spirit of freedom of thought.
It is the opposite of scientific.

There is a distinction that is foundational to our approach in researching the most ancient sciences. 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 animalistic living to agricultural/spiritual living. Then proceeded to where we are now, a trade and reason-based society. This model can be visually seen and explored by looking up "Spiral Dynamics". While this model is evidently and undeniably true overall, further 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, but experienced a cataclysmic upset that resulted in us having to revert back to hunting and gathering, perhaps some of the ancient stories are important. We at the very least owe it to ourselves to investigate this theory. Especially in light of now knowing that mass extinction events and other cataclysmic events have taken place and can be verified empirically.

Furthermore, 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 have come full circle to coming to the same conclusions 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. 

Entanglement or 'spooky action at a distance' is what we observe and acknowledge today, but it also seems to confirm what the ancients understood. This phenomenon has also been called the Law of Contagion, and the belief and practices that derive from this belief have existed since before recorded history.

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 now, the vast wealth of knowledge we would have to try and get across... in only one generation.

With the loss of the internet, all paper and writings disintegrated, most of our collective knowledge would evaporate. 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'.
If even just one thread of this hypothetical is true it is worth pursuing.

This is only the tip of the iceberg as well. As you will see if you continue with us, every time we look at the more arcane elements of what the ancients taught concerning energy, our history and much more, there is measurable or quantifiable evidence and scientific data to many things that have been considered mythological, mystical, pseudoscientific, spiritual, or any other adjective that to a logic-oriented person would seem annoying, superficial and frivolous.

But the implication of what we are finding is that there may be a vast number of exciting mysteries right under our feet ready to be explored with a more discerning philosophic and scientific lens.

That's why the Brown Focus is so important.
Eventually we want to substantiate these findings and bring awareness of this 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 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 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.

The main issue is 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 we might scientifically experiment with some of these topics. Even if only to disprove them.

Upon reaching Level 1 you can focus solely on a more pragmatic field of science or business and will be more in your element.

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 sit right or feel to suit you, consider pursuing with us all of the other avenues or subjects of study. We will look at History, Language, Mathematics, Anthropology, Energy and Physics, Nature, Sacred Geometry, Space/Time, Dimensions, 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 and debate all of our other findings. 

The Process of Pragmatism is sevenfold. Remember this is for those who pursue the Brown Path.

Each step follows academic and scientific methods and is a different mode or process to find the truth:


Education: 
We first start with learning for ourselves different methods of procedure. Responsible measures of conduct that take a glimpse at what our ancestors passed down to us. We learn free resources to educate ourselves into the fields we choose. Some of these avenues even offer a Harvard certificate if that's what you choose which can greatly benefit you in the long run. Community and sharing is everything. We will work together and strategize how to best approach different subjects of study.

Research: 
Now we actually partake in field research, studying together, testing small things like the local water, practicing our skills in our respective fields, working together to come to some conclusions. We may even make money through publication of our findings, media, or results from discoveries like inventions, etc. Business ideas and how best to move forward are explored here as well.

Funding: 
We now work with our newfound expertise and may even collaborate with other organizations, create lists of experiments we want to conduct, appeal for additional funding, and eventually officially found our own research institution. Your ideas and business ventures are also highlighted during this phase.We will put our heads together to find a way to get the funding we need and how we want to move forward.

Laboratory:
The ever-growing lab will start small but will be added to over time until it is a fully fleshed-out laboratory capable of tackling many different scientific disciplines from chemistry to astrophysics.

Experimentation:
True experiments that are academically reviewed and published. With the equipment and findings gleaned from previous stages, Experiments will be proving or disproving once and for all the merits of things like spirit, ghosts, astrology, ESP, and so much more.

Invention: 
Actual products resulting from our experiments. While we value open source, you could get patents and receive help in producing products resulting from this process.Your own business ideas can take shape here and can receive investments from the organization.

Sublimation: 
Because of the nature of what we are studying and experimenting with, there is the full expectation that true genius will result from this process and that our findings may even in the far future culminate into the state-of-the-art and cutting edge of science. Things that appear like magic.

​
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 exploring what is offered here and you may find your calling.
