Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas

Rate this book

The ultimate question is no longer "who am I" or "why am I here." These questions were answered in the earliest civilizations by philosophers and priests. Today we live in an age of such rapid advances in technology and science that the ultimate question must be rephrased: what shall we be? This book investigates what may become of human civilization, who is setting the agenda for a trans-humanistic civilization, and why .


The modern Victor Frankenstein holds a high political office, carries diplomatic immunity, and is most likely funded by the largest corporations worldwide. His method is ancient: alchemy. His fraternities are well known and their secrets are well kept, but his goal of times past and present is the same; he dares to become as god, genetically manipulating the seeds of the earth, the beasts on the fields, and to claim legal ownership over humanity by re-creating it in his own image. This is no fairy tale, science fiction, or conspiracy theory … it simply is!


Transhumanism, a Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas by Dr.'s. Joseph P. Farrell and Scott D. de Hart lifts the veil from the macabre transhumanistic monster being assembled and exposes the hidden history and agenda that has set humanity on a collision course for the Apocalypse.


Joseph P. Farrell, PhD, is the author of the best-selling Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men: The Surviving Elites of the Cosmic War and Their Hidden Agenda.

One of those rare crackpot conspiracy books that comes this close to self-awareness without ever quite smelling the bullshit it’s peddling. The authors frequently point out that they recognize their assertions are pseudoscientific nonsense but power on through anyway. Their dedication is admirable! Unfortunately, they end up saddling the text with piles and piles of quotes from every ancient religious text they can find without ever actually compiling their mountains of supposed evidence into anything you didn’t already learn on your first acid trip. Still, I give it props for trying to chart this mystic woowoo shit through mathematical functions and phrases like “alchemosexuality.”

This was one trippy book. It starts with some strange readings of some ancient narratives that the authors don't pretend to have some hard nosed understanding of, but instead project a shared interest with the reader... this was the part of the book I found quite fun and engaging. Unfortunately the book doesn't quite hold to the level of engagement presented in the earlier pages. The hidden/secret origins the authors attempt to point to; their discovery of patterns they have grabbed at through disjointed areas of a library... these aspects start to feel a little messy... a hint of, or a feeling of, an agenda of some kind from the authors begins to spill over. An insistence that Percy Shelley, not Mary Shelly, wrote Frankenstein goes on for too long. There is some odd stuff about Oscar Wilde. In fact the whole third part of the book wreaks a little more of putting familiar names into some strange boxes, hoping they mix well with that weird, far-out esoteric mythology snippets from antiquity. Look, it was a fun read, don't get me wrong... but I tend to like less suspicious books on the whole "transhumanist" topic, and I think the truly more threatening aspects are a little more grounded in a large scale Murphy's Law event rather than some secret pseudo malevolent army of gender-complicated persons that take the long march through time. That said I can enjoy the semi-extremist interpretations of futurist concepts, they provide a nice balance to my book shelves.

The book was super interesting and super hard to follow. The point is well made that much of the goals of medieval alchemists are the same goals of tech companies and governments today. These include controlling food supplies through genetically modified crops and patents, human cloning and vat grown babies, changing elements through nuclear reactors, cybernetics and artificial intelligence. These are all painted in a negative light as the malevolent plans of the elites. This part of the book is the clearest and cogent.

The book goes down a long side street of the novel Frankenstein and how Mary Shelley wasn’t the real author, Dante and Oscar Wilde. These points were interesting but I failed to grasp how it supported the central thesis of the book.

The book also goes into how the three great “Yahwisms” (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are setup to oppress and subjugate mankind. They also oppose the alchemical agenda (which I also thought was bad, so wouldn’t opposing it be good?) Also discussed is how homosexuals and hermaphrodites are like the next evolution in man and key to humanity’s development.

The book is trying to tie lots of disparate points together to show there are these forces and ideologies in conflict throughout human history that still exist today. Not sure how well it does it, it is a deep subject and there is a lot of gristle that could have been trimmed to make it easier to understand, let alone that I think many of their conclusions are nuts.

This book was a let down. Although I liked that the book went through "alchemosexuality" and piecing together from different cultures the theme of alchemy/androgyny, this book feels more of a "talking through" of ideas and commentating on those sources. The most enjoyable part of the book was about "alchemy" of our food sources and Farrell referenced much of Engdahl's "Seeds of Destruction" - probably why I enjoyed that chapter the most. Also, the "Tower of Babel moment" from different cultures was interesting and it is a good starting point to do further research into those sources from Meso-America/Babylonian/Platonian etc.

I have given a low rating for this book for a few reasons. Firstly, the author draws upon a lot of other people's works which can leave you reading more of other people's work rather than Farrell's. Most of the book is sources and then explaining the source, in not a lot of analytical detail and often is repeating the same thing over in a paragraph. At times, sentences made no sense and were far too long when explaining abstract/difficult ideas and themes. So the writing wasn't very compelling and, often, felt like it could have been a lot more refined.

Refinement is definitely what this book needs. The idea of the book is great and is what made me buy this book in the first place but upon reading it, I had to stop several times due to grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. It was driving me insane and nearly put me off entirely from the reading the book because of the carelessness and inconsistencies with spelling/grammar. Also the author writes in an almost informal style and, at one point, I read the same sentence twice and there were plently of "..." included. This book felt very unfinished.

The chapter on Frankenstein/Oscar Wilde was interesting and, although I understand why the author chose to include this in his investigation into alchemy, it definitely could have been shortened and more concise. Often in this book you're reading pages of Farrell's thoughts and ideas based on other sources and it can end up quite...hate to say it but "waffley".

It would be fantastic to read a book on the alchemical agenda that had a more succinct and clear direction. This book sort of started that way but ended up just being a compilation of other people's works and in the same repetitive ideas stated in different ways. Also, by the end of the book, I really got sick of reading "alchemosexuality" and "primordial".

The author also makes conclusions quite broad-handedly about "Yahwism" and Christianity. This would have been a good area to expand upon and to properly delve into looking from all angles (within reason under the topic of "alchemy"). However, Farrell is quite brazenly biased and it feels lazy with some of the conclusions he has made on those religions, in comparison to the depth of explanation (almost TOO much explanation - a lot of repetition) he gave with a more "Buddhist/Hindu" perspective. I also wasn't very convinced by Farrell's explanation that the "Yahwist" religions are "inverted" and simmer down to just being religions that are brutish and disregard any previous knowledge as "pagan". Again, too broad-handed and more indepth analysis is needed to make this claim anywhere near convincing.

A lot of this book is pulling together other sources and reading Farrell's interpretation of them and how he believes it fits underneath an "alchemical agenda". I agree, to some extent, with Farrell in that there is an agenda on an alchemical level taking place but as for the rest, it is a lot of hit and miss. This book would have been more much more enjoyable if Farrell was to re-examine this book in light of the points I made earlier.

I don't regret that I have read this but it is not the best book to read for this topic. It is, however, a good-ish starting point for starting your own independent research.

I really love books like this one. I'm aware that there's a lot of bullshit in these types of books, and that you must verify, research, and sift through the facts and opinions. This book was very interesting to me, and I had high expectations, but I can now see that other reviewers were correct in their diagnoses.

For me, the book began to fall off pretty early, when the authors began to dunk on what they call "the three Yawhisms." A big issue is ambiguity. It's hard to tell what the authors actually think, because at first they give the impression that they are very much against the transhuman agenda, but then say that Christianity and the Yawhisms subvert it which is somehow bad. The angle they present on Judaism and Christianity is furthermore misleading, and simply doesn't take the big picture into account. I wasn't interested in reading their polemical digressions about Christianity, just like how the digressions about Shelley and Wilde were also sort of a waste of time.

The book suffers from coherence. It ends with quack physics, which is pretty normal, but usually the physics are at least thought provoking. The strong point of the book is the beginning, but the sections on the "alchemo-vegetable" aspect and androgyny were very interesting as well. With the exception of chapter ten, I think the latter half can essentially be skipped, because if what they're presenting isn't bullshit, it's either off topic or a repetition.

All that said, I still found it worth reading, and the good parts were cool.

It took me a while to finish. The author skillfully presents a comprehensive overview of transhumanism, examining its historical roots, philosophical underpinnings, and the potential impact on society and individual lives. The incorporation of alchemical symbolism and allegory adds an additional layer of depth, inviting readers to ponder the transformative nature of transhumanist aspirations.

What makes this book stand out is its ability to challenge conventional thinking and stimulate critical reflection. The author delves into ethical considerations, questioning the potential consequences of blurring the boundaries between humanity and technology. By exploring the alchemical aspects of transhumanism, the book prompts us to contemplate the spiritual and existential dimensions of human enhancement.

While the content is engaging and intellectually stimulating, some readers may find certain concepts complex or dense. The book assumes a certain level of familiarity with both transhumanism and alchemy, which might pose a challenge for newcomers to these subjects.

It offers valuable insights and raises essential questions about the future of humanity and the pursuit of transcendence through technology. It is a thought-provoking read for those interested in exploring the interface between science, philosophy, and spirituality. But not an easy read, which is great for you all scientists.

This is somewhat a bit different from the ordinary books from Farrell, perhaps because he is writing with another writer, Hart, the books start with the traditional view on strange physics and alchemy to become very engaged in literary criticism, and although the authors provide interesting analyses I somewhat feel that they may be beside the point on the analyses of the transformation of the human genes.
Funny enough the book may be pushing this so-called gay agenda that is so dear to the Illuminati and the globalists, an interesting twist there, but all in all great ideas, really fun moments, and interesting speculation. I thought the Aquinas moment did not belong even in the exegesis of the book, but be it.

Unlike the previous reviewer I found this a compelling and well sourced hypothesis that there is an alchemical agenda at play in the motives of the transnational elite in their push for transhumanism. Especially pertinent in the wake of the 'pandemic'.
