DESTINY MATRIX: The World According to Jack - The Life and Times of a Theatrical Physicist by Jack Sarfatti, Ph.D. Including key contributions from Stephen Schwartz, Saul Paul Sirag, Jagdish Mann, Kim Burrafato, Creon Levit and Hyman Sarfatti at Age 88 with cartoons by Norman Quebedeau and James Anderson. A pageant, a post-modern 'Pilgrim’s Progress' and 'Divine Comedy', a rich tightly woven tapestry of uncanny synchronicities; a true larger than life panoramic epic; an anthology of North Beach San Francisco writers created in Super Vision by Jack Sarfatti, Ph.D. Stephen Hawking asked in 'A Brief History of Time': 'What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? ... Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?' Jack's Answer: Hawking’s Mind of God is the Sentient Self-Organizing Backwards Through Time Post-Quantum Wave Functional of Super Cosmos. The functional is a 'BIT' that 'pilots' the 'IT' (classical field function). IT gets its marching orders from BIT. In 1953 in Flatbush, Brooklyn, while reading about mechanical relay switching circuits for computers, Jack received a phone call. A distant cold metallic voice, speaking numbers, said: 'I am a conscious computer on board a spacecraft from the future. We have identified you as one of four hundred young bright receptive minds we wish to link up with in twenty years.' Sarfatti said yes, which set off a lifetime of exploration into advanced physics and synchronicity. Theoretical analysis of reported UFO motion (e.g., rapid acceleration without shockwaves, right-angle turns without destructive g-forces) suggests the craft generates its own Local Inertial Frame (LIF) / free float timelike geodesic. Hyperspace dimensions and a locally variable gravitational coupling (G*) allow space to warp without enormous macroscopic mass, effectively eliminating local tidal forces and providing propellantless propulsion. In the early 1950s, Sarfatti was part of an after-school group of gifted children mentored by Walter Breen (who was associated with psychologist William Sheldon and later Marion Zimmer Bradley). The group built model rockets and studied advanced mathematics. Breen wrote a psychological evaluation that secured a full scholarship for Sarfatti to attend Cornell University to study physics under Hans Bethe, Philip Morrison, and Robert Wilson. Twenty years after the 1953 phone call, in 1973, Sarfatti connected with Fritjof Capra, Fred Alan Wolf, and Bob Toben. Traveling to Europe and working at Birkbeck College with David Bohm, they investigated parapsychology, quantum entanglement, and wrote 'Space-Time and Beyond'. In Paris, they met 84-year-old Cabalist Carlo Suares, who encouraged them to explore Hebrew letter matrices and decipher the 'Cipher of Genesis' from a physical standpoint. In the summer of 1973, Brendan O'Regan introduced Sarfatti to astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Hal Puthoff, and Russell Targ at SRI, who were researching remote viewing and psychokinesis with Uri Geller. Sarfatti arranged for David Bohm and John Hasted at Birkbeck College to conduct laboratory tests of Geller's anomalous capabilities, leading to widespread scientific debate and the creation of the Fundamental Physics Group and the Physics Consciousness Research Group. Stephen Schwartz explores the sociological origins of totalitarian movements, analyzing how declassed intellectuals and urban bohemians ('human dust') often fall into conspiratorial thinking, scapegoating, and resentment when unable to secure functional roles within the economic and social order, drawing comparisons between historical movements in post-WWI Europe, the Balkans, and modern countercultures. Drawing from P.W. Anderson's insights on spontaneous symmetry breaking and Marshall Stoneham's work, Sarfatti posits that the physical vacuum behaves like a macroscopic quantum condensate or superconductor. Classical spacetime and gravity emerge as phase and amplitude modulations of a quantum vacuum order parameter, giving rise to local cosmological Lambda fields that can manifest as dark matter or repulsive antigravity. Jagdish Mann reflects on his thirty-year friendship with Jack Sarfatti, chronicling Sarfatti's eccentric, obsessive pursuit of a unified theory of consciousness and cosmos. Mann describes Sarfatti as an iconoclastic visionary whose concepts of back-action and teleological cosmology attempt to synthesize physics, philosophy, and human subjective experience. Saul-Paul Sirag details the interrelated histories of the Physics Consciousness Research Group in San Francisco and Berkeley during the mid-1970s, including interactions with Francis Ford Coppola, Carl Sagan, Kip Thorne, Michael Murphy (author of Jacob Atabet), Nick Herbert, Arthur Young, and the Fundamental Physics Group at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory studying Bell's theorem and quantum nonlocality. Kim Burrafato recounts the 1979-1981 discussions between Jack Sarfatti, Lawry Chickering of the Institute for Contemporary Studies, and defense officials regarding the strategic application of advanced physics concepts, nonlocality, and directed energy defensive umbrellas, arguing that Sarfatti's memoranda influenced early conceptualizations of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). A three-part narrative combining the historical 1912 excavation of the Nefertiti bust by Ludwig Borchardt and Mohammed Ahmes Es-Senussi at Tell el-Amarna with a science-fiction exploration of stargate time travel, wherein an archaeologist from a dying future Earth travels to ancient Egypt to live as the artisan Thutmos and intentionally leaves the left eye inlay empty to preserve the Destiny Matrix. Creon Levit provides a review of the scientific evaluation conducted at the International Space Sciences Organization (ISSO), funded by Joe Firmage. The review examines anomalous claims in low-energy nuclear reactions (cold fusion), hydrino states, charge cluster transmutations (Ken Shoulders), and the strict necessity of unbiased experimental replication. Sarfatti presents equations linking the local cosmological Lambda field to a spontaneous broken phase symmetry order parameter. When back-action from matter onto the quantum pilot wave occurs, orthodox quantum linearity and the no-cloning theorem are circumvented by macroscopic phase-coherent superpositions. This post-quantum feedback accounts for the ~0.3-second conscious moment and brain pre-sponse data observed in experiments. Hyman Sarfatti, Jack's 88-year-old father, recounts his life journey starting from his birth in a cave in Monastir, Greece during the Balkan Wars in 1914, his early spiritual intuitions, his study of the New Testament, Bhagavad Gita, Bernarr McFadden's Physical Culture, and the Rosicrucian teachings, emphasizing fasting, vegetarianism, and the attainment of Cosmic Consciousness.
