I must start by saying I am sorry, please forgive me, I have been something of a fool and a hermit, and I am very much guilty of holding back my voice, not sharing content, and self-censoring to avoid confrontation and drama. It is often said that the fear of what others think becomes a prison for our mind, and I can certainly attest to this.
As artists, we become popular by sharing our art rather than our thoughts, and I'm sure it's not just me, but most artists probably feel that if their fans knew what they REALLY thought, then they wouldn't have any fans left.
Online, people don't necessarily like who we are, they like what we give them, they like the content. This is something I noticed as I began trying to talk about my views on scientific truth, the content is no longer liked and I always ended up feeling like a fool.
One day I realised that's because a fool is exactly what I am!
I'm literally a professional entertainer! You see, on the inside I still felt like a scientist, a serious person, because of my Masters and PhD in theoretical physics, and the fact my whole music career was a carefully planned experiment in applied 'soul science'. The music was just my output, but behind the scenes I was researching and experimenting for decades. I viewed myself as a serious scientist, an alchemist, but in the eyes of the world I was just a fool.
I understand of course that there are people who only want the music, and who may be uncomfortable, offended or simply uninterested in my opinions on science and philosophy etc. You didn't follow Hedflux for that, I get it, you want the music but not the man, and that's totally fine, the music is like sunshine, its basically free and it's made for the enjoyment and illumination of all, and there is plenty more to come!
But I want to extend a deepest apology to those people who really are interested in who I am and what I have to say, I have neglected you, I must confess that I seem to have inherited a chronic case of 'negative self-talk', an inner tormenter that constantly puts me down, devalues my every thought, and discourages any public sharing due to vulnerability, futility and the exposure it brings.
Being a resident of the UK as well, getting constantly lied to and gaslit by the media/government and made to feel like the lowest class of human in society, life is so demoralising that it is hard to imagine anything good succeeding. The idea of trying to be a public figure in this "kingdom of lies" is not in the slightest bit appealing any longer.
Nevertheless, I have not been wasting my time, I have still been doing The Work, to transmute my own 'suffering' into something good and enduring, where I can finally say what I've needed to say for so long. So on that note, I am pleased to announce the imminent release of my new book:
A Fool's Wisdom: Science Conspiracies & The Secret Art of Alchemy.
The book will be released on Amazon on April 1st on Paperback, Hardback and ebook (links to follow). Audiobook will come later.
It's been a cathartic process writing this, it took about 2 years, but is based on a lifetime of research and experimentation (i'm getting on for 50 ffs!). Yes there are some heavyweight topics and controversial opinions in there, but to be honest, if you don't have a controversial opinion in 2024 then are you even real?
Whilst I am a fierce critic of modern scientific theories and the dreadful state of our public institutions, the fact is I wouldn't have been compelled to write this book were it not for my PhD and scientific schooling, this is literally what I trained to do, to discern fact from fiction, find the fundamental truths, understand the inner workings of nature and write about it in layman's terms.
As I see it, modern scientific materialism is a veil of illusion that is designed to bamboozle and disempower people, while hiding and obscuring the true ancient and spiritual science of Alchemy.
Everything good and productive in science is rooted in Alchemy, and this is provable, the rest of the mumbo jumbo just comes out in the wash. The problem we have is that there is a massive 'counter-intelligence' industry that is designed to keep people believing in nonsense, and so if the truth makes a ripple then it swiftly gets white-washed by a tsunami of lies, censorship and disinformation. This just seems to be the nature of the 'the beast'.
So I am getting a bit long in the tooth now, I'm not the idealist I once was, and I have no lofty delusions of 'changing the world' or anything like that, I wrote this for spiritual growth and posterity, so that if I were to expire in the near future, I can go in peace, knowing that I didn't totally waste my opportunity to say something in this life. The book represents my best attempt at conveying the wisdom I have gleaned from my incarnation thus far, while providing plenty of references for further study.
I have set up a new website in my full name: stevenyoung.uk
Please check it out. If you wish to support the book, please purchase a copy and leave a good review to help get it up the charts. If you have a podcast and you'd like to have me on to talk about it, I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers,
