- Atomic Technology covers all electromagnetic and nuclear technology including computers and the Internet; it "is connected with that which is lifeless in us: with our finished thoughts and with those forces of mineralization and death in our brain and nervous system which correspond to the subphysical, electrical forces of the atom." - Resonance Technology, briefly realized in Keely's devices, "is connected with living, moral sentiments in our personal soul-life" brought into interaction with mechanical processes in external machines. - Moral Technology "stands in relation to the spiritual forces of the human 'I'" and carries these forces into living processes in the outer world: "The machines of Moral Technology have life in them." It is through Moral Technology that those human beings who achieve selflessness will survive the War of All Against All, anticipated around 7,900 AD, and repopulate the next great phase of human evolution, just as a select group of Atlanteans survived the Great Flood. Emberson traces where Atomic Technology came from, spiritually speaking from Steiner's lectures, in From Gondhishapur to Silicon Valley. In 666 AD, the Academy of Gondhishapur in the Near East was overshadowed by the Sorat, the two horned beast of the Apocalypse, whose plan was to inspire the academy's scholars to every discovery humanity would otherwise arrive at only by 3,600 AD. Had it succeeded, humanity's entire future developmental potential would have been consumed in a single epoch. Harun al-Rashid's brilliant court in ninth-century Baghdad carried the remnants of that brilliance forward, and Harun al-Rashid himself later reincarnated as Francis Bacon of Verulam (1561 to 1626), who became the great popularizer of materialistic science and, according to Emberson, received the inspiration for binary code directly from the Sorat. Who knows if this is true or not without having the personal percepts themselves, no matter what, this is heresay, interesting nonetheless. That binary code, the loom punch card technology of Basil Boachon of Lyon around 1712, the discovery of electricity, and the soul forces wrung through torture from the Knights Templar beginning in 1306 were each successive steps in a single guiding impulse toward the computer and the World Wide Web. Steiner described on May 13, 1921 in Materialism and the Task of Anthroposophy: after the reunion of Earth and Moon, the materialistic thoughts of human beings that "have no reality all of a sudden become realities," and the earth will be covered "as if by a network or web of ghastly spiders possessing tremendous wisdom" whose beings "will imitate everything human beings have thought up with their shadowy intellect, which did not allow itself to be stimulated by what is to come through new Imagination and through spiritual science in general." The materialistic communications encircling the planet in binary code through fiber optic cables, the chilling cold of data centers, and the fear saturating surveillance culture may already be early precursors of that spider-like network, if one holds to Emberson's interpretations of Steiner's indications.
