Introduction
Founder of MysTech (.co) for the mysteries of technology and its role in human evolution. Current president of the Boston Branch of the Anthroposophical Society. MysTech hopes to cultivate research into methods for a moral human-machine interaction that works through vibratory emanations from the human causing a resonance within the machine. The signatures of the resonance will instruct the machine to perform operations on behalf of the human user.
In addition to MysTech research, I explore Early Christianity and the ancient mysteries. I find echos from this period arising during the Renaissance and streaming into Florence via the Platonic Academy and thus into many of the paintings of this era.

Delivered 12/3/15 at the Springfield Art Museum, this lecture reviews some current opinions on which of the two paintings is the original and then describes why the painting at the Louvre is not only the original but how Leonardo, during challenging times for heretics, dared to depict the Two Messiahs, the two Jesus children. We show what Leonardo...
Why was Christianity able to spread so easily? Why did Christian emperors want to destroy the centers for the ancient mysteries?
Eugenics is back - it won't go away. Is there a morally fit Eugenics? Where are we now? What role does evolution play? Lecture reviews highlights of history.
Delivered in Amherst, MA April 2015, this lecture explores the role the ancient mysteries played in Florentine art. As Constantinople was crumbling, its treasures and sages went west to preserve their heritage. These flowered in Florence.
Andrew Linnell an experienced lecturer and researcher of the Ancient Mysteries will lead us through an entertaining discussion of why there were two paintings and the mysteries revealed in the original Virgin of the Rocks. What was da Vinci attempting to depict? Were there two Messiahs?
Historical overview of the Eugenics Movement as a natural outgrowth of Darwinian evolution. Although the horrors of Nazi applied Eugenics seemed to stop the movement, its streams continued. Can Eugenic principles apply to overcome human suffering? Can they be applied to the animal kingdom? To the plant kingdom? Is there a healthy Eugenics? Can insi...
This article is based on esoteric Christian teachings that have not been part of common Christian practices, especially those of recent times. A good background to esoteric Christianity can be found in Rudolf Steiner's book Christianity as Mystical Fact, Anthroposophic Press. After this background, further depth can be found in Steiner's lecture se...
Leonardo da Vinci, over a 25 year period, completed two paintings both called the Madonna of the Rocks (or the Virgin of the Rocks). One can be seen at the Louvre in Paris (right, below) while the other hangs in the National Gallery, London (left, below). While it was uncommon for Renaissance painters to copy their own works, some art historians ha...

Effectiveness of the application of silver NPs against mould is obvious. Do they affect the foundation of Life? Lead in paint became a huge problem. Will silver NPs in buildings affect our digestive system? Our pets? Before launching, let's study properly the long term effects on organisms. If we find the risks outweigh the benefits, how do we later remove these NPs?
Most studies on the safety of engineered nanoparticles (ENP) have neglected the long term effect of ENPs as they enter the environment. These Duke studies should lead to more similar studies:
We should also take care to ensure that once a silver ENP has chemically changed, that its effects on root growth and micro-organism health has truly been mitigated. I don't find any studies tracking long term effects, that is, over several seasons.
