Leonardo Da Vinci
THE BICYCLE OF LEONARDO DA VINCI: - “… a man who was
at once an artist, an inventor, a scientist - and who saw no contradiction
between these diverse realms.
In his unceasing quest for truth, Leonardo explored every branch
of the sciences known to his age and proved to be far ahead in
many respects in his precise observations, his striving for sound
methodology and measurement, and the value he placed on empirical
proof. 'No human investigation', he wrote, 'can be called true
science without going through the mathematical tests… the
sciences which begin and end in the mind cannot be considered
to contain truth, because such discourses lack experience, without
which nothing reveals itself with certainty." (57)
This quote is from a semi-whitewash of a life full of conflict,
especially with the church. They should emphasize the oppressive
control over thought and creativity the church of Leonardo's day
had over all sciences. In fact there was only one science - philosophy
which in actual fact was just theology. So Leonardo's words take
on a different meaning than they suggest. It is even more important
than you might imagine because Leonardo was the head or ‘Nautonnier’
of the Priory of Sion. The authors are from Catholic Universities
mostly, so we must forgive them when they claim to have fostered
Leonardo's genius when in fact they did the opposite and it isn't
till near the end of the book they note he was charged with being
homosexual by these Inquisitorial suppressors of soul and thought.
There is a whole specialty of study devoted to Da Vinci's work
but little truth and a lot of propaganda. Few are they who admit
both he and his mentor were alchemists and the horrors of a life
hidden behind lies and half-truths that resulted from the fear
of being found out. It is a theme of many of the great scientists
and their lives, and little credit is given to the courageous
men and women who toiled to understand and the truth they shared
is available. Why? Do we still fear others might do what they
did or think? Think for themselves and question the authority
which seeks to credit their approach to knowing.
The Scientific Method of observation and conclusion is said to
have been discovered by Bacon. There is some truth to that, but
which Bacon? Some say Francis and there is no truth in that even
though he pretended to be an alchemist in his Rosicrucian or Masonic
circles including John Dee and Ashmolean types. The better scholars
attribute it to Roger Bacon who actually was an alchemist and
spent a great deal of his life in dungeons after having ferreted
himself away in the church as a monk for a long time. Metaphysics
and independent thought can be a dangerous business and there
are many current authors whose work is relegated to obscurity
unless they learn how to appease the 'normative' or oppressive
mindset. The sad part is that there is no benefit to anyone by
such oppression. Not only is there abundance and creativity but
those who know the soul will not NEED to clothe it in grandiose
raiment. They will gladly work for the joy of utilizing their
potential for the benefit of mankind rather than seeking to destroy
others and life in general.
It is interesting that Napoleon (a Merovingian/Mason) made sure
to get all of Da Vinci's work that was around when he conquered
Milan, but I there is some of it that wasn't discovered until
after that and it is most interesting. Da Vinci was a Johannite
like Newton (another alchemist, whose Principiae Mathematica had
a brief comment at its' start - 'This is much more than I should
say; and much less than there is!'). Johannites believe the true
prophet in Biblical times was John the Baptist and we are continuing
to seek other Benjaminite and Masonic connections with him despite
a sense that both Jesus and John the Baptist were operating from
the same source. Would Napoleon have destroyed any Johannite writings
if the Merovingian House of David and Judah or family of Jesus
were concerned about Da Vinci's fame and credibility or writings?
We cannot say such a thing and we aren't sure John wasn't a favourite
of theirs as well.
The troubling thing about this book is the presentation of Da
Vinci as a semi-competent who needed a Franciscan monk’s
help. We like Francis of Assisi and don't doubt the church was
watching over Leonardo just as they did all artists who were producing
God's work. Yes, the church claimed all creative work was their
property! They also controlled education just as they have in
many places until this very day. Most likely Luca Pacioli (Franciscan)
was under directions to keep Da Vinci in line and to make such
things as we will see, remain hidden from the public. Da Vinci
was before Galileo and you can be sure he would have met the usual
gruesome heretical stake or fire after a few parts were titillated
or cut along the way.
These are the words of the Catholic University academic which
give a little insight to the conflict Da Vinci faced during these
oppressive times when thought was even less well managed than
today. "Leonardo and Luca Pacioli worked together for many
years, and as we have seen, the intervention of Master Luca was
decisive. Nevertheless there existed between the two categories
a social and hierarchical conflict, even if no one had ever placed
in doubt the supremacy of the liberal arts as the only depositories
of true science. And the one who rose up resolutely against the
exclusion of the mechanical arts from the sphere of science {Such
deceit to call what the church allowed people to think of, as
science.}, or as it was then known, 'philosophy' was Leonardo."

The best part of the whole book for me is the bicycle. It has
a chain drive mechanism that looks like a 19th century model of
something he would have seen in the future. His representation
is not engineered so perfectly that he would have been able to
inspect it however. It had no steering mechanism, for example.
On top of the original drawing that was discovered long after
the death of all parties is a childish drawing of a penis to look
like a cat with legs. Still they don't actually use words to say
he was 'gay' and we know he would say something about this if
he was alive today. It is a certain thing about propaganda - great
people become more manageable after they die - you can 'spin'
their image to your hearts desire. In the case of Jesus they make
him over every century! I guess all the priests abusing children
across North America and the court awards have made them a little
sensitive - can you say risk management? Can you say hypocrites?
They still exclude 'gays' from all sorts of things and marriage
is just one of them. Maybe this is the area 'master' Luca was
most instructive to Da Vinci?! It is an area of their expertise
but what Da Vinci was able to produce, is not.
"While they recognize the unmistakable nature of this machine,
the few scholars who have examined the drawing are decidedly reluctant
to admit its antiquity. Since the application of the chain-drive
goes back only to the end of the 19th century, they propose a
dating of the drawing within the early years of the present century.
Such a hypothesis, however, collides with insurmountable difficulties:
(1) The page in question remained hidden for almost four centuries,
and it is unimaginable that 70 or 80 years ago a boy would have
obtained from the directorship of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana the
permission to view the codex, detach one or two of the pages,
and then draw upon them and glue them back again. (2) Even in
that case, he would have drawn a bicycle of a type then existent,
not one of wood with wheelbarrow wheels, {And this imaginary child
the academics try to say drew the cat/penis, would have been a
pretty smart kid to know the name of Leonardo's pupil/model/lover.
There is a small matter of his signature.} no means of steering,
and the teeth of the central gear so squared off that they could
not be fitted to the chain. (3) The odd toothed wheels and the
chain coincide exactly with those drawn by Leonardo in Codex Madrid
1, folio 10 recto. (4) We cannot separate the bicycle from the
other drawings visible in folios 132 verso and 133 verso of the
Codex Atlanticus. Actually they were drawn when the pages were
united at the two halves of one page. Reuniting them, we see that
another hand has drawn, also in pencil and from left to right,
two pornographic drawings obviously meant as a joke, over which,
on the right side, is clearly written 'salaj', that is, Salai,
the name of Leonardo's pupil, model and servant...To become a
reality, the idea required the final solution of some challenging
problems such as the matter of steering and the adaptation of
the large squared off teeth with their jutting comers to the links
of the chain… Salai entered Leonardo's house in 1490, aged
10.” (59)
How did Leonardo draw about half of the design of such as bike?
The best answer is that he looked into the 'Philosopher’s
Stone' of his patron/alchemist or he developed one of his own
like Nostradamus. It is not an easy thing to do, but I think he
could have done it. If he actually traveled through time he would
have been able to draw a bike and many other things like his famous
helicopter. When looking into a 'Stone' there are many confusing
images of possible future and jumbled realities. We know that
many within the Catholic Church have studied these things (e.g.
Aquinas) and that they know about the 'Stone'. In recent times
a Catholic cleric developed a Chronovisor in conjunction with
top physicists including Enrico Fermi, according to one report
I have seen.
We know they would have been very concerned about Leonardo telling
the world about many things he knew. The Gnostics were heretics
because they said things like: 'The Original Sin that separates
us from God is Ignorance!' Who is passing on whether or not you
are a heretic because you believe in the possibility of a 'Stone'
today? Yes, most of society! Few have any idea of what an alchemist
is or what contributions they've made to humanity, the quantum
physicists were called 'atom-mysticists' when they spoke of the
things chaos science and alchemy has studied for over 13,000 years.
This is why we don't need an Inquisition. Because the media and
education system is more effective!
The titles and grandiloquent appointments of the egotistical
chest-beating ecclesiasts who follow in the footsteps of the money-
changers whose tables Jesus over-turned in the Roman-backed Temples
are so fantastic that any impressionable person can easily think
THEY must know! This is the technique of 'The BIG lie!' If you
make an ass of your true self (the soul) by saying you are 'Holy'
and an 'Emperor', it is no matter. Just continue to add all the
nations and states you have under your control. Say you are the
sole representative of God on earth, and that the universe revolves
around you. It might work as well as saying disease comes from
'sins and demons' and 'women are the harbingers of THE Original
Sin'. Actually any human is able to know what Jesus called 'the
living father within'. Are we really out of the influence of the
'Dark Ages'? I'd like to debate that with the Pope or some other
proselyte.
