<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Kabbalistic Tree of life seems as much as
anything else to be a framework of different aspects of the psyche and the
conditions therein. There is perhaps a reason why psychiatry is such an
eminently Jewish science and also perhaps again an example of the practitioner
imposing his view on a phenomenon for reasons known only to himself. Just as
the psychiatrist imposes his own definitions so too, the Kabbalist impose his own
definitions on God. </span></span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Zohar is the central and most important
book of the Kabbalah. Much of its discourse is based on secret interpretations
of the Torah in such a way to bend, change or even contradict the original
meaning. It does this by creating a whole secondary study on the meaning of the
words used in the Torah by interpreting and ascribing some kind of mystical
interpretation to the Hebrew letters themselves.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">I have previously written on the fascinating
origin of the alphabet as pictographic symbols, a fact many people are
completely unaware of today except for students of linguistics; this
fascinating study opens up vistas into our most remote past and confronts us
with some intriguing mysteries. For instance, learning that the letter C represent
a ‘Gamal’ or ‘throwing stick’ we might wonder how this ancient Egyptian hunting
tool found its way to the Australian Aborigines. The word ‘Gamal’ is the Arabic
word for camel and it is possibly the distinctive bent, or arched shape of the
throwing stick and also the word for ‘bridge’ in Aramaic is ‘Gamla’, no doubt
the distinctive ‘arched’ shape of the camel back being the inspiration but all
of these words have their origins with the Ancient Egyptian word for a
‘throwing stick’ and the verb QMR or ‘qamar’ which meant ‘to throw’. We can see
how with the passage of years consonantal shift may slightly obscure the
origins. So ‘q’ and ‘g’ and ‘r’ and ‘l’ are largely equivalent and phonetically
very close when it comes to the movements of the tongue and the mouth for their
articulation. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Study of the letters of our own alphabet
also betray the Middle-Eastern, ancient Semitic origins of our letters. The
alphabet we may consider to be Greek since the letters of ‘Alpha’ and ‘Beta’
are known, but the ‘Aleph’ and ‘Beet’ of the Hebrews may be less widely known.
The Semitic ‘Beet’ represents the floor plan of a house and our letter B still
shows us the two rooms of this house. Every letter in fact is a picture of
something and often correlates with words which use that letter to convey that
meaning. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Over the years the letters may have
transformed somewhat by flipping either to the left or right or upside down. So
the letter A, known in Greek as ‘Alpha’ and in Hebrew as ‘Aleph’, was
originally a pictogram of an ox’s head. If you turn the letter upside-down and
return it to its original orientation as an Egyptian hieroglyph and the two
horns and face of an ox appear. In the Hebrew alphabet ‘Aleph’, like all of the
letters of the Hebrew alphabet, is supposed to have mystical significance. ‘Aleph’
is composed of two yods with a diagonal letter waw (or f) connecting the upper,
hidden qualities of God and the lower visible presence of God in the visible
world.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In some instances, some of these symbolic
interpretations may actually contain something genuinely insightful or even
revelatory. The letter ‘Yod’ for instance or ‘Iota’ in Greek, as in ‘not one
iota’ or ‘not one jot’ as the smallest letter represents the immense power of
God and the single, smallest point of the microcosm from which all creation
emanates; it is also significantly, the first letter of the ‘tetragrammaton’
YHWH or ‘Jahweh’. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">In his book The Palm Tree of Deborah,
Shelomo Alfassa describes the attainment of the highest level of the tree of
life, Kether or Crown, though like so much of the Kabbalah this in itself is an
inconsistent claim since it was said that in the Zohar that Moses himself had
only perceived as high as Tiferet and the Patriarchs Malchut, so from this we
are to assume that the higher Sefirot are probably off limits to humanity, yet
Shelomo apparently is able to explain the attainment of Kether, the highest
emanation closest to the infinite and unknowable Ain Soph.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“It does not raise nor exalt itself
upwards; on the contrary, it descends to look downwards at all times. For this
there are two reasons. The first is that it ashamed to gaze at its Source, but
the Cause of its emanation looks continually into it to give goodness to it
while it looks down to those beneath.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The suggestion of being <span style="background: white;">‘ashamed’
to look at the source which is Ain Soph or the unknowable God suggests
estrangement from God and evokes the fall of man in the Garden of Eden being
where the first sign to God that Adam had disobeyed his commandment not to eat
from the Tree of Knowledge was his shame and the fact that he hid himself when
God came to look for him.<span> </span>It can be no
coincidence that the serpent is a stylistic representation of the journey up
the Kabbalistic tree of life, and we may recall that the word snake in the
Hebrew Old Testament is Nachash which also means occult.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">According to The Kabbalah Experience by Michael
Laitman, “a great part of the Kabbalist’s journey is spent in the worlds of
ABYA (Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya), where the Kabbalist gradually turns
intended and unintended sins into virtues, and thus justifies the works of the
creator and His guidance."</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">We find what might be an interesting oblique
reference to one of the key doctrines of the Kabbalah in the Chymical Wedding
of Christian Rosenkreutz, that of turning vices into virtues, and although
nothing is made explicit in the text, it ought to be understood that he who is
not initiated into the Kabbalistic secrets of the Rosicrucians is unlikely to
make any sense of events which might only stoke his curiosity and induce him to
join the group but the real intention is to convey meaning to those who already
understand what is being alluded to:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Meantime the King and Queen, for
recreation’s sake, began to play together, at something which looked not unlike
chess, only it had different rules; for it was the Virtues and Vices one
against another, and it might ingeniously be observed with what plots the Vices
lay in wait for the Virtues, and how to re-encounter them again. This was so
properly and cleverly performed, that it is to be wished that we had the same
game too.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Kabbalist pursues mystical insight rather
than intellectual beliefs or moral action though it seems to me to be a trick
to escape the reality of moral judgement of the kind outlined in the Torah. The
Kabbalah has many such semantic and legalistic tricks in order to redefine
moral absolutes and continue to live a life which we might say, pleases man
more than it might please God. This is best exemplified or instance in the
Kabbalistic doctrine of what we might call ‘holy sin’ and is explained clearly
by Laitman:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“..In the Almighty’s sight the repentant
sinner has a higher status than the man who has never sinned. This is the
meaning of the rabbinic teaching that in the place where the penitent stands
the perfectly righteous cannot stand (Ber. 34b). The reason for this has been
expounded by the Rabbis in the chapter ‘He Who Builds,’ where it is stated that
the letter He is shaped like an exedra (Is a Greek word for exedra was a
covered place in front of a house but open to the outside) so that whomsoever
wishes to go astray may do so. That is to say, the world was created by means
of the letter He and the Holy One, Blessed is He, created the world wide open
in the direction of sin and evil. As the exedra, the world is not fully
enclosed but is broken open towards the direction of evil (Sabbath).”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Reading from the Kabbalah Experience, where </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Kabbalah is explained in a series of question and answers,</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">
we find the following passage about the cessation of perception of time
experienced by </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">the initiate into the Kabbalah mysteries:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“What about the lack of perception of time?
It’s hard to understand the lack of sensation of time. But ‘time’ in spirituality
is no more than the changing of emotions.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The distortion of the perception, or even as
Laitman suggests, the cessation altogether, is a classic symptom of some kind
of neuropsychiatric and neurological disorder and in present in many mental
impairment disorders ranging from Parkinson’s disease through to bipolar
disorder and schizophrenia. It is my contention that this is the goal of
working with the Kabbalah and the results of travelling through the stations of
the Tree of Life are tantamount to developing psychosis. Indeed, I maintain
that this is the apotheosis and pinnacle of the mystery initiatory tradition
and always has been, even more so to this day.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is interesting to note that the Tree of
Life bears no reference to anything taught or mentioned in the Jewish Torah and
it ought to be evident that the two systems are not mutually inclusive: there
is no mention of Jahweh in the Tree of Life, the Ain Soph is an impersonal
definition for ‘eternity’ which is the closest thing to God in the Kabbalistic
system. Kabbalah doesn’t really deal with a moral universe in the sense of
right and wrong, and actively opposing duality, merely extols relative levels
of awareness and has much more in common with gnostic systems revealed from the
synthesis of Greek and Jewish thought in the centuries after the ministry of
Jesus. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Kabbalah then is the attempt to justify
the backsliding of Israel through semantic tricks and word-play in order to
justify many of the things which were specifically forbidden by the Torah,
above all of them, being initiation into the occult mysteries which the
Kabbalah specifically exalts.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">There are many chapters of the Zohar which
relate the supposed secret initiations of the Hebrew patriarchs, again as we
have seen, using the selective use of passages from the Torah to give false
justification for the exegesis. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“It is stated, 'He went on his journeys from
the south even into Bethel, the place where he had pitched his tent at the
beginning'; he progressed and advanced in the divine life so that by the mental
and spiritual illumination which he ultimately attained, he became fully
initiated into the comprehension and understanding of the mysteries of the
Hidden Wisdom and graduated to that degree termed 'teleiaor,' perfection, when
it is written, 'And there Abraham called on the name of the Lord' (Gen. XIII.
4) and became a just man made </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">perfect. Blessed are they who attain unto
this degree of righteousness, for they become invested with an aureole of light
and are jewels in the crown of the Holy One. Blessed are they in this world and
in. the world to come. Of these it is written, 'The path of the just is as the
shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day' (Prov. IV.
18)."</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">"On observing this general depravation of
manners and modes of living, it is written, 'And Abraham went down into Egypt
to sojourn there.' Here the question may arise, what was the reason and object
of his going down into Egypt? It was because at that time Egypt was a great
center of learning, of Theosophy and the science of the Divine Mysteries, and
therefore referred to in scripture as 'the garden of the Lord like the land of
Egypt.' In it, as in the garden of Eden, of which it is stated, 'From the
right of it went forth a river called Pison that encompassed the whole land of
Havilah, where there is gold,’ flowed a great mystical river of divine
knowledge, very precious and unobtainable elsewhere. Abraham having entered
into the garden of Eden and become an adept in the secret doctrine, desirous of
passing through all its grades on two the higher mysteries in order to become
'teloios' or perfect, went </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">down into Egypt where there
was gold, or the Hidden Wisdom." </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">So, the implication is clear that the
prohibition of initiatory or transformative rites of the pagans which are
continually rebuked in the Torah are now reversed and such rites are
specifically encouraged, indeed, such is the whole purpose of the Kabbalah. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The very fact of initiation is something forbidden in the
earliest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible the Septuagint. The name
Septuagint comes from the story that Ptolemy II the Greek Pharoah of Egypt of
the 3rd century BC, asked for a translation of the Torah from Hebrew to Greek
to be included in the Library of Alexandria by 72 Jewish Elders.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel,
and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be
an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated
person of the sons of Israel.” Deuteronomy 23:17 </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">‘Initiated’ person is usually translated as ‘ritual
homosexual prostitution’ and this line was added by the 70 Jewish scholars to
further clarify the following verse. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages
of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow: for even both these
are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The wages of a dog is also translated as “male
prostitute's payment” and this is because this was associated with the
mysteries of Anubis, hence the Septuagint’s reference to ‘initiation’.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">With this in mind are we to assume that the biggest
secret of secret society initiation is the homosexual sex act?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is this force which now rules the world today through
the proxy of Freemasonry which it infiltrated via Rosicrucianism and the
general Alchemical sciences transmitted by those Kabbalistic Jews to the idealistic
and perhaps well-meaning Christians to infect the West.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Kabbalah uses the interpretation of
letters to imbue new meanings in order to completely rewrite the fundamental
parts of the Torah and it does this in order to justify its own initiatory
system of mysticism. In the Zohar the Biblical phrase “Let us make man” is
taken and the word Man or ‘Adam’ is analysed thus:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">“…known to the angels the mystery
and occult signification of the word Adam (man), the letters of which indicate
his relation to both worlds, the seen and unseen, the known and unknown. By the
letter M which is written as a final or closed mem, is found thus contrary to
rule in the word <i>lemarbeh</i>, occurring in the verse, 'Of the increase
of his government' (Is. ix. 7). Man is connected with the higher world, whilst
daleth or the letter D, closed on the west side, indicates his relation to the
lower and sensible world. The principles of which these letters are the symbols
ultimated in their manifestation on the phenomenal plane of existence and the
production of a blended and harmonious whole, viz., of man in the form of male
and female until the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon him (Gen. ii.
21). The Holy One then separated them and having clothed the latter in a form
most fair and beautiful brought her to man, as a bride is adorned and led to
the bridegroom. Scripture states that He took one of the sides or parts (of the
androgynous form) and filled up the place with flesh in its stead. In a very
ancient occult book we have found it stated that what God took from the side of
Adam was not a rib but Lilith, who had cohabited with him and given birth to
offspring. She was however an unsuitable helpmeet for Adam and therefore
Scripture states, 'But for Adam there was not found a helpmeet for him' (Gen.
ii. 20). After the disappearance of Lilith and Adam's descent into the world
plane of existence, then it was, as stated, 'The Lord God said, It is not good
that man should be alone, I will make him a helpmeet for him.'"</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">So here the Kabbalah is saying that Adam, or Man
originally cohabited with Lilith and the Lilith was Adam’s first wife and she
subsequently became a demon which persecutes children: </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“She dwelled there until Adam and his wife
sinned. Then the blessed Holy One plucked her form there, and she rules
over all those children – small faces of humanity – who deserve to be punished
for the sins of their fathers….She toys with them and kills them. This
happens in the waning of the moon, whose light diminishes; this is me’orot
(lights) deficient.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">According to Kabbalistic analysis of the
passage above this means that God released the spirit of Lilith specifically to
punish and murder children.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">From this belief one can see how ritual child
sacrifice has come into being and we can see how the Zohar has given rise to
modern Satanic ‘theology’ and practice and I wonder whether child sacrifices
are carried out to this day when the moon’s light wanes. If so they would be
being carried out according to Jewish scripture. According to the Zohar Lilith
was created by mixing the perfect light of Jahweh with the imperfect light of
Samael.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><a name="_Hlk79014646"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Israel is often described as a prostitute in
the Old Testament, an epithet God applies to Israel more than any other in the
whole of the Old Testament. God also accuses Israel of adultery 40 times in
scripture. The children of Israel frequently departed from the worship of the
one God and into Ba’al worship, trafficking with demons and all kinds of
immorality. Nothing has changed. </span></a><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">From the Zohar, in a chapter concerning the union of the
higher and lower self which beguilingly begins with an excerpt from Genesis:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Said Rabbi Eleazar: ‘It is written, “But with thee will
I establish my covenant” (Gen. vi. 18): as the continuity of the covenant or
good law on earth is the same as in the higher spheres, we infer from these
words that when men become just and upright in this world they contribute to
the stability of the good law in both worlds.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Said Rabbi Simeon: ‘The words just cited have an occult
meaning. The love of the male for the female is based upon jealous desire.
Observe, when there is a just man in the world, or one whose higher and lower
self have become harmonized and unified, the divine spirit or
Shekinah is ever with him and abides in him, causing a feeling of
affectionate attachment towards the Holy One to arise similar to that between
the male and female. Therefore the words, 'I will establish my covenant with
thee' may be rendered thus, 'Because of the union between thy higher and lower natures
giving rise to a yet diviner life, I will abide with thee forever. I will never
leave nor forsake thee. Come thou therefore into the ark into which no one
unless he is just can enter.'"</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The mystical union of the higher and lower self, or of
the bride with the Bridegroom within the context of the Rosicrucian mysteries,
is the key goal of any continuous initiatory programme. This mystical union
involves process which eventually lead to a change in brain chemistry such that
the right and left hemispheres of the brain are in continually equal activity
and that the right brain, that is the subconscious mind which is the residence
of the higher self, is brought into day-to-day awareness and not merely
relegated to explicit activity during our sleeping hours. This essentially
means that what is termed the astral aspect of consciousness, which the right
brain specifically interacts with, is brought down to Earth. This leads to the
classic symptoms of schizophrenia which include auditory and visual
hallucinations; feelings of unreality, dream-like states, feelings of impending
death or even of actually being dead and in some kind of limbo state. The
reason for this is because the right brain, the dormant part of our consciousness
is in full operation and reality has indeed become partially dreamlike because
we have brought that part of ourselves, that ability to access the astral dream
realm, into our day to day lives. In addition to the negative effects there are
some secondary effects which are prized in the occult community such as the
ability to contact spirits and even the performance of feats of precognition
and premonition since there are feats which our mind is capable of in the
dream-state where there is no sense of time and all events past and present can
be accessed by the astral consciousness. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This unification of both hemispheres of the brain leads
to the state of primordial being or Adam Kadmon, or Adam Auilah in Hebrew,
where man supposedly has his fully divine spark awakened and is one with the
creator and all ten Sefirot are manifested. It is arguable that Jesus Christ
underwent a similar experience to achieve his miracles but most people who
undergo this experience probably become schizophrenic but for the Kabbalist and
the Gnostic, the primordial man is the image of the perfect man as he was
before the fall and the fragmentation of his mind into two distinct parts.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The right brain element to our mind is referenced in the
Siphra Dtzenioutha or the Book of Concealed Mystery and makes it clear that
this aspect of ourselves is ordinarily hidden from our normal perception:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“THE Ancient One is hidden and concealed; the
Microprosopus is manifested, and is not manifested. When the inferior man
descendeth (into this world), like unto the supernal form (in himself), there
are found two spirits. (So that) man is formed from two sides--from the right
and from the left.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">We can readily understand that this explanation that man
has ‘two spirits’ and ‘two sides’ to himself refer to the left and right
hemisphere of the brain which are indeed two spirits in the sense that the two
parts of our consciousness are usually more or less very tightly sealed or
insulated the one from the other.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">For instance, we may remember snatches of key moments
from our dreams which we have managed to bring into remembrance in waking left
brain consciousness, but we never remember the whole varied dreamscape and the
events which played out in our minds during the night. Similarly, when asleep
we tend to have a very reduced awareness of our everyday life, perhaps the odd
few people from our physical lives appear from time to time, but it is also
true that we may also see people whom we have not seen for many years. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">While asleep we tend to forget about the many details of
who we are while awake, and so when asleep we can suddenly find ourselves in
situations that are entirely at odds with our personal situation in real life. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Arikh Anpin, meaning: the Vast Countenance, otherwise
known as ‘The Ancient One’ or Macroprosopus, is a term used to describe the
attainment of Kether, the first and highest Sefira closest to the divine
emanation of the Ain Soph.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Macroprosopus and the Microprosopus or the Microcosm
and the Macrocosm, are the meaning of the well-known hermetic principle from
the so-called Emerald Tablet of Thoth which first appeared in Arabic in the
late 8th Century, and is the foundational text of European Alchemy:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“That which is below is as that which is above, and that
which is above is as that which is below, to perform the miracles of the one
thing.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This is encoded in Eliphas’ Levi’s drawing of Baphomet
with two fingers pointing upwards and two downwards while a caduceus of
serpents, one black and one white are entwined around the middle. This is also
represented by the two triangles of the Jewish hexagram, or Seal of Solomon,
with the upper triangle representing spirit coming into matter while the lower
triangle represents matter being elevated into the spirit world. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Incidentally Eliphas Levi, described the Sepher Yetzirah
in his Histoire de la Magie as: “a Genesis of illumination, the Sepher Jezirah
is a ladder formed of truths,” and that “The Zohar represents absolute truth,
and the Sepher Jezirah provides the means by which we may seize, appropriate
and make use of it." <span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">There is an interesting commentary by Samael Aun Peor,
founder of Universal Gnosticism who was also a member of the Fraternitas
Rosicruciana Antiqua movement:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Binah is ruled by Shabbatai שבתאי, Saturn, we have
an atom of Binah in the pineal gland, the door of heaven, which in
the Male Goat of Mendes is represented with a torch upon a horned goat
head (letter Shin ש). The two horns of the goat (as well as
those of Moses) relates to Binah בינה and Chokmah חכמה. Binah relates
to the left hemisphere of the brain and Chokmah-Uranos to Aquarius, the
right hemisphere of the brain. They form the Tetragrammaton of Esh אש (‘fire’)
in our Rosh ראש ‘head.’ This is why the name Iod-Hei-Vav-Hei יהוה,
the Tetragrammaton, relates to Chokmah and Binah in the
world of Atziluth. Above them in the torch or pineal gland is Kether,
the crown, ruled by Neptune, the superior waters of Chaos; in other words,
Pisces, the fluid emanations of the Theomertmalogos, the Christonic substance
of the Solar Logos.”</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“This composition, called The Book of Zohar, is like
Noah’s Ark, where there were many kinds, but those kinds and families could not
exist unless by entering the ark. …Thus the righteous will enter the secret of
the Light of this composition to persist, and thus is the virtue of the
composition, that immediately when engaging, with his desire for the love of
God, it will draw him as a magnet draws the iron. And he will enter it to save
his soul and spirit and his correction. And even if he is wicked, there is no
fear should he enter.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This is a symbolic representation of the attainment of
the Philosopher’s Stone, that is the unification of right and left hemispheres
of the brain and the co-operation of the Microprosopus or the left brain
rational logical physically oriented mind with the Macroprosopus of the right
brain, the astral or spirit element of our mind.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The right brain as we know is concealed from our
awareness except during sleep or as a result of the culmination of successful
rituals and secret society initiations. In his introduction of his English
translation of Knorr Von Rosenroth’s Latin translation of some of the books of
the Kabbalah, Macgregor Mathers writes:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Of Him it is said that He is partly concealed (in the
sense of His connection with the negative existence) and partly manifest (as a
positive Sefira). Hence the symbolism of the Vast Countenance is that of a
profile wherein one side only of the countenance is seen; or, as it is said in
the Qabalah, ‘in Him all is right side.’”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In the Siphra Dtzenioutha or The Book of Concealed
Mystery, another of the texts which make up the Zohar we find further clearer
references to the distinction between the left physical brain hemisphere of the
physical world and the right, astral or spiritual realm aspect of our
consciousness and this is also something encoded in the left and right pillars
of the Kabbalah, like the symbolic left and right pillars of Freemasonry Boaz
and Jachin as well as the three principle degrees of Freemasonry which are also
referenced in the Zohar:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“There are three degrees, yet each is independent even
though they are one, connected into one and do not separate one from the
other.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“With respect unto the right side he
had, Neschamotha Qadisha, the holy intelligences; with respect unto the
left side, Nephesh Chiah, the animal soul. Man sinned and was expanded on
the left side; and then they who are formless were expanded also. When both
were at once joined together generations took place, like as from some animal
which generateth many lives in one connexion.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In the book of the Greater Holy Assembly of the Zohar we
find a reference to what could be an allusion to some kind of chemical agent
being pivotal to this transformation which could accord with the Hoffer
Adrenochrome Hypothesis already outlined in this book. Perhaps this too gives
the hidden meaning behind the title ‘Chymical Wedding’ where the chemical
transformation is within the initiate, incidentally the website for Phoenix
Masonry have seen fit to publish Mather’s translation of The Kabbalah Unveiled
on their website, proving I think, the suspected link between Kabbalism and
Freemasonry.</span></span></p>

not written ‘It is full with dew;’ but NMLA, Nimla, ‘it is filled.’ And it

lights--that is, from the brightness of the Ancient One. And by that dew are
nourished the holy supernal ones. And this is that manna which is prepared for

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The same article also details cynically fraudulent claims
about the Kabbalah Centre’s own brand of ‘healing water’:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“The probe also revealed how Kabbalah Centre
representatives claimed bottles of ‘healing’ spring water sold by the group
could help cure cancer - and how they sold a batch to a sufferer for hundreds
of pounds.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">A second investigator, who worked undercover as a
Kabbalah Centre volunteer for four months, was told how the Kabbalah water
worked, with a devotee explaining: ‘We start with the purest artesian water and
then we do the various meditations, injecting energy into it.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Kabbalah Centre website explained that a process
called Quantum Resonance Technology ‘restructures the intermolecular binding of
spring water’.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The investigation discovered the water actually comes
from CJC Bottling, a bottling plant in Ontario, Canada, which was the subject
of a public health investigation in 2002 into how its water was tested.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">CJC was ordered to improve manufacturing techniques,
though there was no suggestion that they ever sold polluted water.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Regarding fundraising, the statement went on: ‘As a
registered charity, the centre has to fund raise to cover administrative costs
and outreach work, the effects of which are felt across the world on a daily
basis.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The centre has launched a US$1m campaign asking followers
to donate money so it can send its own brand of Zohar books and water to the
victims of the Asian tsunami.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In Israel, the authorities have refused to give the
charity a certificate of proper management for three years running because of
accounting inadequacies, and in Britain the Charity Commissioners have
criticised the centre's accounts for ‘significant shortcomings in transparency’.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">A final article reported on the Judiaciaryreport.com
website regarding the London Kabbalah centre is of a much more serious tenor.
The article reports how Phiona Davis, apparently became a victim of mental
abuse after becoming involved in Madonna’s Kabbalah centre in London. The
website claims that Davis was conned out of 2 million pounds and was spied upon
in her home with hidden cameras and illegal telephone wire-tapping. They then
made it known to Phiona Davis at meetings what they knew about her. This is the
key focus of the phenomenon known as 'Gang Stalking', to drive the victim to
madness and despair, which, in their system, is the initiation to Kether and so
called 'union' with God. The website doesn’t quite understand why they did this
and is under the belief this was all in order to obtain money from Ms Davis, in
fact the whole experience led to Phiona Davis becoming psychotic and this led
to her murdering two people:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Fashion student Phiona Davis reportedly confirmed to
police that she had been attending Madonna’s Kabbalah centre in London and told
police she was being ‘controlled’ and people from the Kabbalah centre were
walking around her flat. A few months later she killed telephone salesman Keith
Fernandez by stabbing him 58 times at her home in Green Lanes North London
reportedly saying ‘God done good, for this is done through God.’ </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The next day she killed her grandmother Mary Skerritt by
stabbing her 130 times. She then tried to set fire to the flat. She then went
outside the flat in Stoke Newington saying ‘I am God, I am the benevolent one,
burn the demons inside her.’ ‘You can arrest me but you can’t punish me. Only
God can punish me.’ She was also seen holding her arms out saying ‘I am the
Messiah.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Later at Stoke Newington police station she attempted to
strangle herself and smeared crosses on the wall in blood and excrement. She
shouted at the police, ‘I am the messiah and the King of Kings. I will forgive
you all.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">She reportedly told the police she thought her former
boyfriend Keith Fernandez was a robot and her grandmother was the devil. She
was sent to Broadmoor and can be released only with the express consent of the
home secretary.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The purpose of Kabbalah is precisely to induce
schizophrenic illness. This is the attainment of Kether and ‘union’ with God.
Hence when Phiona Davis reportedly commented to police and firefighters that
she was God/the Messiah in her delusion. As reported by Phiona Davis some month
prior to her murdering two people, she was being covertly monitored, followed,
spied on and harassed. This was the programme of the Kabbalah, to induce a
change in brain chemistry through various personally and psychologically
invasive means which can lead to entirely unpredictable consequences.<span> </span></span></span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The 9th of Av 3830. A day of desolation. The cooling
bodies, of those who were not already long dead of starvation, filling every
street, sometimes piled as many as four or five high, were so numerous that the
dying did not even have their own place to fall and tumbled into a grave made
up of other people. For three days, without rest or seemingly any pause, the
Romans had murdered. Peace would come only for lack of more victims. There
were sobs of the fallen and those whimpering and forlorn whom the Romans could
not even be bothered to kill; these sounds were accompanied by the gasps of pain
of the dying and their final passing gave rise to a brief note of peace. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">As the days passed the initial frenzy of the Romans’ fury
had passed until the massacres started to have all the gusto of a bored scribe
or clerk. Their arms wearied from chopping down defenceless pilgrims: old men,
the women and children, as by the end of the day, the scribe tires of holding
his reed pen. Lazily but with implacable determination and resignation to a now
tedious task the murders continued. All around was the sound of sudden screams
which reached his ears and now the Romans hacked with a lack of discrimination
so as to almost appear disinterested in their work.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">None had been spared, the killing continued long after
all had been assumed already killed. Those who had come to Jerusalem in
celebration only months before had been only celebrating an early and bloody
death.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The amount of blood issuing from the holy Temple was not
to be believed, heaps of bodies seemed strewn like empty wine-skins while their
blood carpeted the white marbles stones all the way down to the bottom of the
sanctuary steps. The number of bodies grew deeper into the Temple and the most
bodies were found carelessly clustered around the altar and piety had neither
protected them nor prevented the Legionary’s arm.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The peak of chaos, lawless anarchy, disobedience and
blasphemy and been reached and had manifested as Roman swords. With the mass
death and the destruction of the city, the series of ritualised obscenities and
dark satires which had been performed in the city in the name of its defence
and that of the Jewish people, had come to a close and the curtain had come
down on this fateful and awful chapter.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">These are the stories they told but now none are alive
who remember the day we lost our temple and lost our city: Great and Holy
Jerusalem. How anyone lived to tell this tale cannot be known except perhaps
the Romans didn’t quite find everyone’s hiding place, yet for those that hid
and survived: to live to see such sights it might have been better to die. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">There had been a million people crammed into the city,
the children of Israel had come from every nation from among the cursed impious
empire of the gentiles to their home in the world. All had come to the Great
and Holy city of Jerusalem five months earlier to celebrate the Passover; by
the 10th of Nissan there were a million Jews in the city. Some upon arriving
had told of their presentiments, of fevered dreams and hearing voices in the
darkness telling them not to come to Jerusalem for Jerusalem would be their
bloody tomb. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But they had come all the same telling themselves it was
the voice of the accuser, the one who runs to and fro throughout the earth
trying to catch those who will not obey Hashem. For as Isaiah, may his memory
be a shield to us, said “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am
your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand.” Besides we had our great leader, appointed it seemed by
God from the priestly line of Levites, the people of the first-tithe, the same
line which gave our people Moses, Aaron Ezra and Malachi: Yohana ben Levi.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">He who with the devil’s own deceit had tricked the Romans
at the gate of Gash Halav and asked Titus not to displease the Gods by
despoiling the Sabbath. Titus agreed to defer their entering the city to the
next day by which time the wily Yohana had escaped, a ruse worthy of Jacob
himself. He returned to Jerusalem and gave us courage and hope that the Romans
could be defeated and reminded us of the strength of our numerous great walls
which the Romans would dash themselves against while we harassed them with a
thousand furious projectiles and poured fire upon them. Even with wings, he
said, they would never be able to fly over the walls of Jerusalem, seeing how
hard pressed they had been in taking the little towns in Galilee, how much mightier
was Jerusalem? He reminded us how we had defeated the great Thunderbolt legion
not once but twice and taken their sacred standard as easily as taking a blind
man’s purse. The poor simple people ate up his poison like mana. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">So they would not let their fears deter them and besides
we were still celebrating our great victory four years earlier which had
liberated Jerusalem from the control of the Gentiles when we destroyed the
Twelfth Legion and captured their golden eagle. They are so foolish and credulous
as children that such things mean a great deal to them and they were said to
have spent thirty years trying to find the three gold eagles they had lost to
the heathen of Germania who cooked the Romans they captured in pots and ate
their flesh and did strange heathen magic with their bones. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But even so, on the road, the black smoke on the distant
horizon and rumours of three or even four Roman legions again on the march.
Still they were not to be deterred and it was not forgotten how Yahana had lied
about the leader of the Jerusalem government, Hanan the High Priest and
betrayed his trust. Yahana had wanted to negotiate with the Zealots and had
sent John to be his ambassador but Yahana told the Zealots that Hanan meant to
execute them and also claimed he had sent ambassadors to the Romans for help in
taking the city back from the Zealots. The Zealots felt imperilled due to
Yahana’s trickery and in desperation sent messengers to the Edomites who
arrived 20,000 strong demanding to be let into the city. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Hanan refused, distrusting their motives and not wanting
to radically destabilise the stalemate they had reached, for he and his party
and the common folk of Jerusalem wanted peace with Rome and wanted no part of
this war. So at night Eleazar son of Simon, the leader of the Zealots had the
Edomites surreptitiously let into the city where they, with mock outrage at
being kept out and with calls for ‘liberty’ and accusing the rulers of being
traitors, massacred the high-priest Hanan and the whole moderate government of
Jerusalem and anyone else who was identified as being a ‘moderate’. Thousands
were dead when they had finished. Only afterwards did the Edomites learn how
they had been tricked, and they left the city in repentance at the bloodshed
they had been lured into performing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">It was clear now what kind of man Yahana was and though
he had many supporters and 6,000 armed men at his command the populace knew
that he would lead Jerusalem to its own destruction so they called on the
bandit and brutal leader of a great force Shimon the Strong to depose him.
Shimon arrived in Jerusalem with a mighty army of 15,000 men and was heralded
by the people as a saviour of the city and of being the long-awaited Messiah,
even though he was an Edomite and not even of Israel. During his rule Shimon
had coins minted bearing his name and the messianic legend: Redemption of Zion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Almost immediately he started executing people in the
name of safeguarding public safety including the High Priest Matthias son of
Boethus whom he murdered only after murdering his own three sons before his own
eyes. Thousands more perished under Shimon’s messianic rule.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Now Jerusalem had become fully ruled by bandits who daily
committed murders against those they suspected of being in league with the
Romans or of being in league with any of the other two factions which opposed
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their leaders, among them the
Messiah of Israel: Shimon the Strong, were the very worst of humanity; men who
tortured, raped and did not spare women and children in their murderous
excesses. In fact, the Messiah of Israel himself had led a force of raiding
bandits that had murdered more than 700 women and children in the nearby town
of En Gedd prior to their triumphant arrival in Jerusalem.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The common-people were nervous but they had to believe
that God would protect them, for it was the Passover and they were his chosen
people. If it wasn’t the fear of God that guarded them it was the fear of their
Messiah. Then the clouds had come. A day time darkness had covered us from the
sight of God and a terrible stillness came upon the air where even words spoken
to our loved ones seemed to hang in the air and whither. It was a heavy spirit
which had come, some avenging angel had come to punish God’s children for their
waywardness: perhaps for the murder of the high-priest and perhaps for the
presence of the faithless band of assassins who now occupied the holy precincts
of the Temple.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Romans arrived and with Jerusalem filled with the
million pilgrims, we were sealed in while the fury of the savage Gentile beast
harangued our great walls. But how could they conquer? We had so many walls.
Walls within walls. Our fortifications were built by the Romans themselves and
the great Herod had brought in the Empire’s finest craftsmen to make the city
impregnable and we knew the secret ways out of the city and through the walls
into the country beyond and could sneak out at night to get the hidden food
supplies to feed to great city’s many hungry mouths.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">After two weeks they had breached the third wall near
Jaffa’s gate, then they took the second wall. Then Titus’ legions themselves
started building a wall and we wondered at it: some jested that the Romans were
on our side and were helping us to defend the great city out of sheer
admiration for its beauty. Jerusalem had won their hearts they said. Then with
a sickness they realised the wall was a wall for us: to keep us trapped. We saw
that we wouldn’t be able to leave to go into the country for food. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Then fear came amongst the people as quick and unassailable
as water; it ran through every street like a stream and trickled into every
hovel and found its way seeping into the hearts of every man woman and child in
the city. Almost immediately food became short. It was said that the Zealots in
the Temple were destroying the grain supplies for the city in order to induce
the people to fight all the harder.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">People began to go hungry and with hunger they started to
speak of surrendering to the Romans. God answered the fears and prayers of the
Jewish people as the Romans sent the worthy Josephus to negotiate with
Jerusalem. The people clamoured to reach Shimon the Strong, now ruling most of
the city as King of Jerusalem, and begged him to surrender but he was outraged
at the suggestion and threated to kill anyone who dared to speak of it and
Shimon’s men fired arrows at Josephus and wounded one of the Roman negotiators
driving them and the last chance of peace away. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Then the hunger became intense when what little food the
city had had, was exhausted. The three warring factions had been more intent on
fighting each other than fighting the Romans and had also been destroying each
group’s food supply as a means of forcing them to come to terms. With no-one
being able to enter the city for months starvation began in earnest with people
reduced to eating shoe leather and whatever grasses and weeds could still be
found. One in particular, to the everlasting shame of the children of Israel,
Mary daughter of Eleazar had bought themselves survival at the abhorrent price
of eating her own child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Yahana had had some success in undermining the Romans'
fortifications and siege engines by building tunnels beneath then setting fire
to the tunnels so that they engines collapsed into the pit but by doing so he
had also undermined the walls of the Antoine tower, the Romans had removed only
four choice stones from the tower and at night, it fell. It was at this point
the finally the three fighting factions united their efforts to repel the
Romans but too late.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Nobody quite knows how the fire in the Temple precincts
started. The Romans for their part had had no inclination of destroying the
Temple, so it is said at least, since it was largely a Roman building and could
be repurposed to any God they chose. Some blame the Zealots and a stray
firebrand intended for the Romans accidently ignited a fire in the Temple. The
Romans then seeing a fire had started thought to add to it and thereupon
started to encourage the Temple’s destruction as a means of demoralising the
inhabitants and achieving a quicker victory also Titus may have known that the
next day was Tisha B’Av: when the great Temple of Solomon was destroyed by the
Babylonians and he wanted to ensure that this dread day would also see the fall
of the second Temple and the fall of Jerusalem itself in blood and fire.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Those that were not killed immediately, possibly more
though Roman boredom than benevolence, were in the stark minority. Any
survivors who were found to be old or armed men were immediately killed. Any
able-bodied men that were found were enslaved and became gladiators or were
made to work on the extensive Roman building projects under terrible conditions
back in Rome. Children were spared only to be sold as slaves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Romans now busied themselves in completely razing Jerusalem
to the ground to make a corpse of the city as they had done to her people. Even
the foundations and caves were brought up, perhaps reproachful that they had
served to hide the Jews from their rage. What Jews remained now throughout the
country and abroad were forbidden to ever return to what remained of the city
under pain of death. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And the line of Jacob slept in the bosom of the earth. A
crushed defeated people now without a Temple and no mother city and forced to
pay Fiscus Judaicus or Jew tax in an effort to encourage the people to abandon
their religion since it only applied to those who practised the religion of
Judaism but not to ethnic Jews.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But the promise of Jacob lived on. Prior to the fall of
the city Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakki, may the memory of his righteousness and holiness
be a blessing for the life of the world to come, the first tana to be called
Rabbi in the Mishnah, had arranged his escape from the city inside a coffin. He
spoke with the then military commander Vespasian and Yohanan correctly
predicted that Vespasian would soon become Emperor and that the Temple would
shortly be destroyed. For this he was rewarded with his wish to create a Jewish
Rabbinical academy at Yavneh. The school became a focal point for the
reestablishment of the Sanhedrin after the destruction of Jerusalem and the
absence of the Temple and the atonement sacrifices; from the council grew the
future of Jewish identity: Rabbinical Judaism.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The years passed and Jerusalem was now home only to the
tenth legion and Christians. But from their base in Yavneh the great council of
the Sanhedrin planned. The years passed before the Jewish people found their
strength again but when that time came, the world would tremble. Within two
generations of the loss of a million Jews and the destruction of Jerusalem the
Jewish Rabbinical Academy at Yavneh had managed to create a covert network of
agents spreading all throughout the Roman Empire unknown and unsuspected by any
except the Jews themselves who were now totally sworn to protect and fight for
their people at any cost and they waited for their moment to strike. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">In 3875 the Roman armies moved East to fight the Persians
leaving only small garrisons behind them. This was the moment.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Jews rose up as one man and slaughtered the Roman
garrisons and massacred the inhabitants of cities of Libya, Cyprus, Egypt,
Anatolia and as far East as Seleucia and Arbela in Babylon. By the end of the
rebellion the lives of half a million Roman citizens had been taken in revenge
for the crimes of the Romans. We burned their temples as they had burned ours
and we pulled down their idolatrous statues of the demon Gods housed in their
shrines. Their bath-houses, nests of un-righteousness we burned and slaughtered
those we found fat, naked and debauched within. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">They pursued some of the men to the city of Lod and
besieged the city and foully executed those heroes of the line of Jacob wishing
to bring justice to the Roman people. But our part remained undetected and we
rejoiced over our victory and the terror we had riven into the heart of the
Roman world at the invincible unconquerable Jew and we planned our next move.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And it was not long in coming. In the year 3890 Emperor
Hadrian visited Judea and ordered the construction of a new Roman City for
Roman citizens and Christians on the grave of Jerusalem and gave this new city
a heathen name: Aelia Capitolina and it was to have a new temple dedicated to
the heathen Ba’al Tzedek and Jews were only to be allowed to enter to
commemorate the loss of their two temples on Tish B’Av. Hadrian’s intention was
to remind the Jews of the triumph of the Romans by giving them only a glimpse
each year of what was once their great city.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">In a series of deliberately targeted insults at the
Jewish people Hadrian trod on a bees’ nest he didn’t even know had been growing
under his feet for so long. He came to our land proudly with his sodomy slave:
Antinous. He also ploughed up the foundations of our temple recalling with pain
to us the words of the prophet Micah:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed up like a
field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and
the Temple Mount like a forest high place.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Two years later 3892 Emperor Hadrian made a law
forbidding circumcision in the whole empire under pain of death and the bees
nest became busy but none but those who knew it was there could see the furious
activity underground, in the very caves and holes in the earth we met and we
planned.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">As time grew on the new city took shape and the insults
continued, with pagan shrines and sanctuaries right on top of the ruins of our
old holy places. A statue of the sodomite Emperor was put in the place of the
Holy of Holies and a monstrous statue of a pig was erected before the northern
gate. This was said to be a symbol of the Tenth Legion who were stationed here
to keep the children of Israel out but the insult was intentional and not in
the least incidental. But it was perfect. It gave us the excuse which we had
been waiting for to put all our work into practice. And soon they would
encounter our Messiah and his hand would be on the neck of our enemies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The council of Pharisees of the Sanhedrin had been very
busy and had found the star of Jacob at long last, or at least, they had made
him. Long incubated in the Holy Law at Yavneh and trained in the ruthless
guerrilla tactics what used to be called the Sicarii assassins, now
rehabilitated from their old ways of banditry to be the key leaders of Jewish terror
and political violence throughout the Roman world. This man was at once
Messiah, redeemer, leader and trained killer; expert at all forms of torture
with a particular personal preference for cutting off the hands and then
cauterising the wound with fire to cause maximum pain and absolute delirium in
his victims. Their screams and shrieks of agony always brought the hint of a
smile to the edges of his lips. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The messiah was ready, it only needed the right
provocation to unleash the full force of the hidden snap of the Jewish people,
coiled like sleeping serpents for so long. The greater the forbearance the
greater the rage once patience is exhausted, and the Rabbis at Yavneh knew that
soon, the surprise was coming, and they smiled when they passed the Romans and
saluted them in the Roman tongue, for they knew that a sword hung over their
very necks which was about to fall and they could afford to be gracious to the
dead.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And then one day the Romans, quite by accident despite
their previous deliberate provocations, gifted us with the ultimate outrage.
While they were making a foundation by the western wall they broke through to
the subterranean tomb of Solomon and caused its collapse. It was as if Solomon
himself had been struck by the Romans, their profanity and supreme arrogance
not content with destroying the Jews but now reaching back in time to affront
the kings and prophets themselves. Every Jew felt this and as one body we
flushed red with pain and surprise yet in this act, provoking a king of peace,
the fury of King David was roused and with just one word from Yavneh the
thousands of waiting guerrillas holed up in their caves and subterranean hiding
places, pounced upon the Romans the whole breadth of Judea. As one man,
ambushes everywhere, the Romans literally at times killed in their garrison
barracks half asleep and then when the cry of consternation and alarm was
raised in the towns and cities the red hand of Israel slank back into their
holes, like bears with a fresh carcass, to enjoy their kill. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Our greatest Tana, Rabbi Akiva, may his memory be a
blessing and may Hashem avenge his blood, as president of the rabbinical
academy of Yavneh, declared that the leader of the rebellion: Shimon Ben
Kosevah was the Messiah and named him Shimon Ben Kochba, Shimon of the star and
said that he had come down to Earth from heaven:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“..there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre
shall rise out of Israel...” Not everyone agreed with Rabbi Akiva that Shimon
was the Messiah of the children of Israel. It was said that the man was of
Edomite ancestry and certainly not of the royal Davidic bloodline.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Nevertheless, the Romans reeled, with hundreds brutally
murdered in the first day of the rebellion, and then, as they were nursing
their wounds and mustering their forces the guerrillas struck again, this time
choosing different garrisons and waylaying small detachments of Legionaries
with surprise and ambush tactics. And it didn’t stop until Jerusalem was cut
off from reinforcements and the Messiah took the city slaughtering the 10th
Legion like the pigs they were so proud of and throwing their unclean bodies
into the burning valley of the wicked; those that did not fall that day fled
and the city was reconquered by her children led by their Messiah.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Shimon had coins minted declaring himself ‘Prince of
Jerusalem’ which celebrated year 1 of the liberation of the holy city along
with a star representing Shimon as the Messiah and the Ark of Covenant found
and placed back in the Temple.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Shimon had appealed to the Christians to join in the
uprising, since the Christians had grown into quite a force all throughout the
empire but particularly in Judea which they considered the home of their faith.
But they could not be prevailed upon to fight for they said they were peaceful
and that their Rabbi had told them that they must love their enemies and not
resist evil but turn the other cheek. Shimon mocked them greatly for this but
when he saw that they remained firm he grew angry. He found that not one of
those called Christians would help them against the Romans therefore he went
out and started to round them up from the villages he controlled and ordered
them to renounce the False Messiah and blasphemer unless they wished to share
his fate. They protested that they were Jews as well and were followers of the
law of Moses and the Patriarchs and the prophets but he now had the rage inside
him and bid them deny the false messiah who died on a tree because the time of
the real messiah was upon them and all should unite under his banner. He would
be the ‘ruler of Israel’ foretold by Isaiah, the False Messiah ruled over
nothing. One Christian argued with Shimon and said that he ruled over Israel
and would do so for eternity, since he was the redeemer and shepherd of the
children of Israel, and that his throne is a heavenly, not an Earthly one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Shimon laughed and ordered him to be put to death for
blasphemy. He signalled two men to come and take him away. The Christian saw
that he was dealing with an implacable man and resigned himself to his fate:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The Lord Jesus will speak for me in heaven. Who will
speak for you?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">At that, Shimon considered for a minute and shouted after
the men leading away the Christian.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Hold there men! I’ve changed my mind about this
Christian,” he looked long and hard at the Christian. Then spoke, “Torture him
first, then kill him.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">They took the man away who shouted out: “They are
‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.” And at that moment a cloud
passed in front of the sun and also a cloud seemed to settle on the hearts of
some of the men there as they thought about the words of Jeremiah and how
Jerusalem now was in ruin without inhabitant as the prophet had foretold and
the destroyer of nations, Rome, who will soon set out from his nation again and
will meet Israel in war, and it was hard not to have a moment’s doubt.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Almost as if to dispel the cloud Shimon shouted to those
around him in bravado:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“And that goes for all those who follow the False Prophet
and will not help Israel in her time of need. All those of the so-called party
of Christians who will not fight will be tortured and killed. Let us see if
that is enough to dissuade them from following their dead magician.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But strange to say it did not dissuade them. The piety
and faith of the Christians was a strange almost unnatural thing to us in those
times and we wondered sometimes whether they were either madmen and perhaps
should be dealt with as such, with sympathy and medical treatment, but when we
encountered them in the markets of Judea and Galilee there was no madness in
them that could be discerned, but a strange and disconcerting serenity which
was almost contagious and we had to draw back from them and harden our hearts
for fear they would make us in league with their idolatry.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But they were now in terror and that Shimon had brought
the same contempt for them as for the Romans and they fled for any cliff cave
or subterranean hiding place which was not already occupied by Jewish
guerrillas.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Our greatest Tana Rabbi Akiva was taken by the Romans for
publicly teaching the holy Torah and never seen again until a couple of years
later when the Romans presented his body for burial boasting of their cruelty
saying that they were surprised how dedicated he had been to his silly Jewish
religion for the sake of all the tortures he had borne including having the
skin from his body torn with hot iron combs. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Romans also murdered eight members of the Great
Sanhedrin, the holiest Jewish council, torturing these great and holy men with
unspeakable tortures which only a mind forged in hell would think to inflict on
another human being. Rabbi Ishmael had the skin slowly removed from
his head and Rabbi Hanania was burned at the stake, a Torah scroll was wrapped
around him and stuffed with wet-wool so that his agonies endured for the whole
day and into the night and all heard or heard the tale of his screams.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Shimon bar Yochai, the most fervent and devoted disciple
of his teacher, while initially supportive of the rebellion against the Romans,
with the death of his mentor now spoke ominously and although he didn’t raise
his voice or sow discord, since he saw this thing must now run its course for
good or ill, he wondered if the Romans should finally crush the revolt what
would be left of the children of Israel and how they would ever be able to
rebuild themselves. He would disappear for long periods of time when he was
said to dwell in caves and some even said in desperation to help improve the
fortunes of Israel, he resorted to performing strange rites and imploring
spirits which appeared to have strange and unholy names. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Hope however, still reigned abundant and at the report of
the first Roman casualties the children of Israel in the distant lands had
hearkened to the call which had gone out even before the rebellion had started,
and now they surged back homeward, hopeful of finally retaking the land their
great grandfathers had been exiled from and now they the children of those
exiles were coming back in triumph to avenge them. The number of Jews in the
countryside surged and the number of armed roving bands swelled in force and
the sound of unusual and exotic dialects was heard all throughout the land as
the great spreading tree of the cosmopolitan sons of Jacob now returned to be
one people again.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But the ferocity of the children of Israel and the number
of Roman cohorts including an entire detachment of the 9th Legion, which we
massacred did not dissuade the Romans and even the total destruction of the
twelfth legion by the triumphant children of Jacob.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">No matter how many Romans were killed more came to
replace them. From the start of the rebellion when there were two full Roman
legions stationed in Judea until there were seven full legions by the end of
the rebellion; a huge force of a hundred and twenty thousand Romans the like of
which we had never seen. Some of these legionaries it was noted seemed to be
more boys than men and the report went round that the Romans were running out
of fighting age men because the Jews had killed the best part of them. This
cheered us no end but all the same these Roman boy soldiers were just as well
armed and well trained and they now seemed to have discovered a great many of
our hiding places and our great networks of tunnels which communicated sometimes
even between neighbouring villages and ensured our rebels were always well
provisioned and ready to emerge from the very ground under the feet of the
Romans to strike them dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had
extensive tunnel networks ranging through the Judean hills and even into the
northern Negev desert. There were also tunnels in Galilee and Samaria and even
near Moab. Hundreds and hundreds of tunnels with our warriors waiting for the
time to strike their ambush. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But then the Romans simply and brutally started
destroying the villages, stone by stone until they were completely razed and
the caves, grottos and cellars laid bare to their eyes and rendered useless to
us. This is how they slowly started to beat us. And we felt the tide was
turning against us at last.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Now Shimon bar Kosiba was not called Kokhba: the son of
the star but they called him the Kozeba: the son of disappointment. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">In all the Romans destroyed nearly a thousand of our
villages and left homeless, the people, the women and children had no-where to
go and were easily taken by the Romans to be sold into slavery. Many Jews, even
those who had lately returned to Judea hopeful of reconquering their land were
forced to flee back from where they had come, and they were lucky if they made
it that far because the Romans were now indiscriminately killing or taking
prisoner any Jews they found under the assumption that all Jews were in arms
against the Romans, which was largely true, but how can women and children be
considered ‘enemy combatants’?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Marching on the camp of the 6th Legion at Tel Shalem to
challenge the Romans with a giant show of force, Shimon had assembled some twenty
thousand men to chase the Romans even from their main harrying point far
outside of Judea’s borders. After many successes and now fully believing that
he was indeed the long-awaited Messiah and God had already decided to hand over
the Romans to them and that God would direct the order of battle and give the
victory. When the time came for the two armies to meet however God did not
share his strategy with Shimon who despite his confidence, was not a match for
the ruthless and well-trained Roman legion and its cohorts who behaved as if
they were ten armies and all harassed Shimon and his force from all sides until
he was forced to flee, fragmenting and disappearing into the shadows and
contours of the surrounding countryside albeit with very heavy losses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Romans pursued and Shimon fled to the walled fortress
refuge of Betar high in the Judean hills along with his men and civilians who
had no-where else to go. This was to be the last stand. The siege began in the
summer of 3895 but it was clear that we had finally only walled ourself into
the refuge of a grave and as the fatal date, Tisha b’Av came nearer our hearts
grew cold and we knew that doom would befall us yet again. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Bar Kokhba had become increasingly suspicious of anyone,
even those closest to him and suspecting that his uncle Rabbi Elazar Hamuda’i
was collaborating with the Romans, he murdered the holy man in cold blood. It
was felt then that a curse had come over Shimon and all those who now stood
with him, that the man was not the Messiah we had waited for all this time, but
was simply a madman. There are many strange stories in circulation even now
about Bar Kokhba, that he was so strong he could catch the Roman catapult stone
and throw them back and stories about how the gentiles who took the land
afterwards had no need to fertilise their vines because there was enough Jewish
blood spilt to nourish them for seven years. All childish nonsense, but these
are the stories we are told as children to keep our history alive, until we
grow up and we discover what the truth was, and how it was hardly any less
fantastic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Besieged by two entire legions, the Romans took the city
and massacred everyone, including all the children they found there, whom they
rounded up, then in the space of an hour’s unnatural horror, the Romans devoted
themselves to lifting up the children and killing them by smashing out their
brains on the stone pavements, it was not known why they killed them in this
way, doubtfully they considered it a more humane method but possibly a more
entertaining one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Romans took a twisted pleasure in finding new
atrocities even as the war came to an end. A group of children who attended the
Torah schools were told to assault the Romans with their writing styluses but
the Romans, in order to mock their studious approach made a great procession of
these children before wrapping them in the school’s Torah scrolls until they
resembled some strange kind of pagan idol or effigy, then they burned them
alive. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">As the dead lay in the ravaged, burned and butchered
state the Romans had left them and no-one was permitted to return to bury the
dead for 15 years after the fall of the fortress and it became a place of wild
animals taking the flesh and gnawing the bones of our martyrs and some say the
restless spirits of the dead haunted it and tried in vain to drive off the
packs of mountain wolves from further desecrating their own corpses since the
body must remain complete in order to be able to stand before the final
judgement of God. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">There were continued lamentations about the fate of the
martyrs of Betar and much secret discussion on whether God would have pity on
the wretched horde who would appear at the celestial throne missing limbs and
with empty eye sockets where a crow had ungraciously picked them out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those Jews that survived were hardly in a
better state than the dead and were by the tens of thousands sold by the Romans
in great sprawling slave markets, the average price being roughly the same as
the price of a pack-horse, there being so many Jewish slaves on the market and
the value being driven so low by abundance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">One day we will be the slave-masters, though the
cleverness will be that those we intend to enslave will not even know that they
are slaves, therefore they will not even be able to think of revolting for they
will not even know that they are not free. Also, the nature of their slavery
will be so disguised from them that they will act as our slaves thinking that
everything they do is from their own free-will. That is the distinction of the
superior Jewish mind over the coarse and profane Goyim one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Now it wasn’t enough for the Romans to destroy Jerusalem,
now they had to destroy Judea and the Jews altogether. No Jews now were allowed
to live in Judea and any found were either killed or enslaved. The Romans
blasphemed the land with the name of its cursed former inhabitants and our
great enemies: Palaestina and Jerusalem was rebuilt with a pagan name: Aelia
Capitolina and started settling Roman citizens there. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Some said that Shimon had brought down this punishment on
Israel and that we should have sought peace with the Gentiles, but I do not
believe that. I believe what Shimon bar Yochai said when he said that at least
we fought, but that now we must find a new way to fight. We cannot fight
enemies like the Romans with their own crude methods.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The survivors fled from the death of Jerusalem and
gathered to the divine presence through the lands scorched and ruined by the
Romans to resemble an early hell for the people. Some even wondered whether it
was the end of the Jewish people altogether and they would disappear from
history at this point. At Yavneh the remnant gathered. Destitute, starving.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Shimon bar Yochai saw now as did all the survivors that
it was impossible to ever beat the Westerners in open war in this generation or
any of the coming generations. There would have to be another way but it would
be a long-term project. They had nearly killed his people, burned his
people’s cities, towns and even eradicated the smallest village, stone by stone
and it was clear the Romans intended to wipe them out forever, just as all the
proud people had tried to do but as long as a remnant could be found, they
would work his plan. A plan which would probably bear no fruit even in his
lifetime or that of his children, but one day the Westerners would be brought
low and his people would reign supreme on the ashes of their civilisation. It
would be their cities which would burn, their towns raised, their holy shrines
would be toppled. Their great temples would be made into latrines and places to
keep livestock.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">We would murder and torture their so-called holy men and
make martyrs of their priests. We would devise tortures for these such to equal
or even exceed the cruelty of the Romans to our own Rabbis. But we will not be
the ones to bloody our hands in such filthy arts, by some agency we one day
will be able to appoint the men of their own kind to do our bidding. We are
working on the details even now but we will nurture and develop our system from
one generation to the next and slowly and craftily release it into the Gentile
world, always testing new methods but we shall use two main methods of control.
We shall use the promise of gain to buy the loyalty of the Gentile against his
own kind, then when we possess him; we shall use terror and fear to make him
our slave until the only thing he fears shall be our invisible network which we
already have partially constructed throughout the whole civilised world, a
network which is even more extensive than the Roman Empire and which operates
in regions and lands even the Romans know nothing about and would not dare to
set foot. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">They would not hack the bodies, nor rape the women and
burn the holy places as the Romans had done to them. These were not fit tasks
for God’s chosen people. They would find others to do these things for them.
They would devise a system, so serpentine and difficult to unfold and each step
in the system removing one from his brother by more secrets and passwords which
could not be communicated on pain of death that the group itself under its own
power would be powerless, only those who knew the keys to this group and
controlled its highest levels would be the masters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">They would recruit from the Westerners themselves to be
the agents of their own downfall. It all became very clear in Shimon bar
Yochai’s mind, even in the midst of their utmost destruction and greatest loss,
he knew that destiny had singled him out to conceive this plan which would
stretch far far into the future, far beyond even the Romans' sight, perhaps
even long after the Romans were gone, and would leave his people conquerors of
the whole world. Their revenge would be terrible, more terrible if it were
possible than the memory of the butchered men and women blood-staining the
streets of the holiest city on Earth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">He shuddered at the thought of their total subjugation
which though remote in time, was already an absolute certainty for him because
he knew God would not stand this affront. As he reasoned he concluded that this
had all transpired for this very reason, in order to make them the
eventual masters over the Earth. The total loss of Judea and their final expulsion
was a sacrifice in what had been one of many. History now made sense. The
tragedy of the captivity, the loss of the two great Temples, the loss of
Jerusalem and now Judea, but somehow his people would persist. They could never
be destroyed, each time they were strengthened as if forged in the hottest fire
to make them finally masters of all by the strength and sharpness of their
metal. Each disaster had been a sacrifice and one day all of this pain would be
soothed when they stood triumphant at the head of their own Empire and the
Gentiles and Christians themselves were their slaves to do with what they
chose. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The world they would create for them would be a hell on
Earth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But their religion would have to change. They would have
to reintegrate some of the ancient half-forgotten forces of their forefathers,
those they called demon worshippers and impious. Their rites practiced only by
those called insane and shunned by righteous Jews. They would need their help.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In the Rosicrucian foundational text which
appeared in Germany at the start of the 17<sup>th</sup> century: The Chymical
Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, we find a curious evocation of early
Communism in the form of a proclamation which the protagonist, known only as
‘RC’, hears in a dream prior to the commencement of his voyage to the
Rosicrucian castle to take part in the Chymical wedding.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“The joyful time is drawing on,<span> </span><br />
When every one shall equal be,<br />
None wealthy, none in penury.<br />
Who er'e receiveth great Commands<br />
Hath work enough to fill his Hands.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">We have seen how the secret societies have
been behind violent social-change in the name of ‘equality’ often with the
result that those judged part of the reactionary former controlling establishment
and those who had been successful within the previous system, were violently
executed.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">During the performances described in the text
of the Chymical Wedding we find something somewhat disturbingly and rather
unambiguously described as the ritual execution of six individuals described as
kings.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Mean time a little Bell was tolled, at which
all the Royal Persons waxed so mighty bleak, that we were ready utterly to
despair. They quickly put off their white Garments again, and put on entirely black ones.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Finally, there steps in a very coal-black tall
Man, who bare in his hand a sharp Axe. Now after that the old King had been
first brought to the Seat, his Head was instantly whipt off, and
wrapped up in a black Cloth, but the Blood was received into a
great golden Goblet, and placed with him in this Coffin that stood by,
which being covered, was set aside. Thus it went with the rest also, so that I
thought it would at length have come to me too, but it did not; For as soon as
the six Royal Persons were Beheaded, the black Man went out again;
after whom another followed, who Beheaded him too just before the
Door, and brought back his Head together with the Axe, which were laid in a
little Chest.” </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The ‘mysteries’ which are described in the
Chymical Wedding are attended by a throng of what are called ‘virgins’. It is
likely that this word is chosen because of the evocation of purity and even a
certain sense of Christian sanctity, but it is deliberately used to convey a
false impression. The fact that these events unfold </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">within the
ministry of some sixty ‘beautiful virgins’ and other epithets are used, like
‘gentle virgin’ as well as certain theatrical effects being employed such as
being <span style="background: white;">drawn on “a gloriously gilded Triumphant
Self-moving Throne’ and wearing </span>“<span style="background: white;">a <i><span style="border: 1pt windowtext; padding: 0cm;">snow-white</span></i> glittering
Robe, which sparkled of pure Gold, and cast such a lustre that we durst not
steadily behold it,” all worked in concert to create “a </span>beautiful and
moving spectacle’. But if the description used was merely ‘women’ and if we
choose not to be emotionally swayed by the apparent grandeur and appearance of
grace of the ritual and strip down the facts to the ritual murder by beheading
of six people, followed by the beheading of the executioner himself, aided and
abetted by a large group of women in cultic attire, then we can clearly observe
that what the text really describes is something like a kind of early Satanic
ritual murder whose affect is to traumatise and transform, and also implicate,
those in attendance in the guise of initiates. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> There are hints too at some kind of sexual element behind
the Chymical Wedding, although of course since this text appeared in the early
17<sup>th</sup> century and was also a description of essentially secret rites,
the hints are obscure, but a certain ongoing sexual tension is certainly
evident and this is used specifically to tease RC who is depicted as a man
somewhat advanced in years:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">As soon as we were come
again into the Hall; one of the Virgins began: ‘I wonder, Sister, that you
durst adventure yourself amongst so many Persons’: ‘My Sister,’ replied
our President, ‘I am fearful of none so much as of this Man,’ pointing
at me; This speech went to the Heart of me: For I well understood that she
mocked at my Age, and indeed I was the oldest of them all. Yet she
comforted me again with promise. That in case I behaved myself well towards
her, she would easily rid me of this burden.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Is there a hint then that the ‘virgin’ will
willingly engage in sexual intercourse with RC if he behaves ‘well towards
her’? Yet another passage makes some kind of insinuation about ‘sports’ between
the men and the ‘virgins’, which cannot be divulged owing to secrecy.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Mean time a Collation was again brought in,
and every one's Virgin seated by him, who well knew how to shorten the time
with handsome discourses: But what their discourses and sports were I dare not
blab out of School.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is likely that one of the ‘rewards’ of
being involved in the Rosicrucian mysteries was sexual gratification just as it
is a key part of such Wiccan and Satanic ceremonies. Though they do not
apparently give themselves up without a little literal ritual humiliation:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“This the Virgin perceived, and therefore
began, ‘I dare lay anything, if I lye with him to night, he shall be
pleasanter in the morning.’ Hereupon they began to laugh, and albeit
I blushed all over, yet I was fain to laugh too at my own ill-luck. Now there
was one there that had a mind to return my disgrace again upon the Virgin;
whereupon he said, ‘I hope not only we, but the Virgins too themselves
will bear witness in behalf of our Brother, that our Lady President hath
promised herself to be his Bedfellow to Night’: ‘I should be well content with
it,’ replied the Virgin, ‘if I had no reason to be afraid of these my
Sisters, there would be no hold with them should I cause the best and
handsomest for myself, against their will.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The women then contrive a casting of lots to
decide who will spend the night with whom: <span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“But now first arose a dispute how the
business should be carried, but this was only a premediated device, for the
Virgin instantly made the proposal that we should mix ourselves together in a
Ring, and that she beginning to count from herself, the seventh, was to be
content with the following seventh, whether it were a Virgin, or man; for
our parts we were not aware of any craft, and therefore permitted it so to be;
but when we thought we had very well mingled ourselves, the Virgins
nevertheless were so subtle, that each one knew her station before-hand: The
Virgin began to reckon, the seventh next her was again a Virgin, the third
seventh a Virgin likewise, and this happened so long till (to our amazement)
all the Virgins came forth, and none of us was hit; Thus we
poor pitiful Wretches remained standing alone, and were moreover forced to
suffer our selves to be jeered too, and confess we were very
handsomely couzened.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is revealed then that the drawing of lots
for be partners is a set-up, probably something which the women had
pre-arranged in order to mock and humiliate the men, all within the long-term
goals of the initiatory ordeal.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The initiate RC says “This indeed to me
seemed a bloody Wedding, but because I could not tell what would yet be the
event, I was fain for that time to captivate my understanding until I were
further resolved.” In effect RC is refusing to make a conscious judgement about
what he has seen, so he is entering a kind of hypnotised state where he is no
longer capable of making value judgements about reality. This is very
interesting and is the key to such rituals. That the person suspends their
judgement and allow themselves to be guided. One can imagine what kind of
atrocities might be possible by someone who surrenders their will and judgement
to whatever occult influence has an interest in guiding it to suit their
purposes.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Many of the ancient mysteries of Greece
depicted ritualised murders and we can only guess whether actual murders took
place or whether they were carefully staged enactments designed to resemble
real murders. The Crata Repoa is a Masonic text from the 18th Century which
supposedly depicts the mysteries of Ancient Egyptian Masonry but which
resembles more a pastiche of haunted house adventures. This Egyptian revival
formed part of the so-called Egyptian rite of Freemasonry and Manly P Hall, the
celebrated 33 degree Masonic historian apparently chose to lend the Crata Repoa
credibility by publishing it in his book Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is clear that the Crata Repoa is a lot of
nonsense but it does reflect both what Freemasons believed might have taken
place during Ancient Egyptian initiations and they could have drawn this
conclusion by drawing on the broad themes of contemporary Masonic rites and
what knowledge and rumour might have reached them about Greek mysteries, much
of which has actually made its way into the current sphere of knowledge and is
what are known as the great myths. One of the best examples of this is the myth
of the Minotaur which in all likelihood, was probably a character in a ritual
initiation which was said to be associated with King Minas’ palace of Knosos
but may have taken place at the ancient quarries some 20 miles away on the same
island of Crete where there was the Labyrinth Cave near Gortyn with a history
of human settlement going back 7000 years; many islanders to this day consider
the caves to be the labyrinth mentioned in the myth of the Minotaur.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">All based on this ancient principle of
staging a spectacle in order to invoke or provoke specific thoughts, feelings,
and specific changes in mentality of the initiate we have the far more overtly
sinister and destructive recent phenomenon of what is known as Trauma Based
Mind Control.</span><span><br /><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">As one of the ‘virgins’ tells RC: “this Death shall make many alive.” By which we can infer the meaning to be that the ritual deaths are designed to provoke the mind of the initiates in some way, to make them ‘alive’ that is, mentally transformed.</span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The following excerpt comes from a former
Illuminati trainer known as Svali who was fairly active in conspiracy theory
circles and gave several interviews within this community, but lately some of
this specific information seems at risk of being lost in light of the wave of
mass censorship which risks washing away all truth and ability to identify the
evil hidden forces behind the stage of our society:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“I have seen set ups (oh, yes, they set up
fake deaths, etc.) where a person was "burned alive" to teach the
children not to tell. They are told that this is a traitor who disclosed, and
now he is being punished. The person wasn't really a traitor and is in a flame
proof vest, but the vision of a person on fire and screaming remains with 3 and
4 year old children for a lifetime. And, when they are adults, even if they DO
leave, scenes such as this mean they won't tell many people for fear of being
traced and punished.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Because I helped create a lot of set ups as
an adult trainer, I became somewhat cynical and have chosen to disclose as a
result, although I do fight intense fear even now at times. Try being buried in
a wooden box for a period of time (it may have been minutes, but to a four year
old it is an eternity), and then when the lid is lifted being told, "if
you ever tell, we'll put you back in forever". The child will scream
hysterically that they will NEVER EVER tell. I was that child, and now I am
breaking that vow made under psychological duress. Because I don't want any
other children to go through what I did or have seen done to others.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://www.wanttoknow.info/secret_societies/illuminati_bloodlines_svali#8"><span style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">https://www.wanttoknow.info/secret_societies/illuminati_bloodlines_svali#8</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The crude and terrible purpose behind Satanic
rituals fullfils many goals at once. In addition to implicating members in
terrible and astonishingly evil crimes which guarantee to estrange them from
decent society and bring them deeper into the Satanic fold, the purpose of
mental and psychological transformation is rapidly completed. The
brain-chemistry transformation which may take years to complete in conventional
mystical secret society programmes can be achieved in a matter of days with the
right shockingly unpleasant display in which the individual themselves may play
a part. It is almost impossible to explain such a transformation to someone who
has not experienced it but something like the desperate and profound personal
transformation can be glimpsed in Dostoevsky’s great novel Crime and
Punishment. It is likely that Dostoevsky himself could write so well about such
a profound mental transformation since he himself was placed in an almost
initiatory programme within the context of his impending execution for
discussing banned books critical of Tsarist Russia, a sentence from which he
was reprieved at the 11<sup>th</sup> hour.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Chymical Wedding is assuredly a
‘transformative’ programme and we can observe the various moments of extreme
stress and uncertainty the protagonist, a knight of the order of the Golden
Stone known as RC, is placed under for prolonged periods, only for a slow
reversal of the conditions and instead find himself in a kind of worthy glory,
only to have other pressures piled upon him, more uncertainties and even
mockery, all of which is designed to make him question himself, place him in
personal insecurity and slowly destroy his ego leaving him, somewhat like the
alchemical allegory of the Phoenix, ready to be ‘reborn’ into a new reality and
fresh identity. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The term ‘wedding’ in the transformative
sense of wedding the soul to some kind of higher reality first appears in
Plutarch’s essay On the Soul:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Thus death and initiation closely
correspond; even the words (teleutana and teleisthai) correspond, and
so do the things.<br />
At first there are wanderings and toilsome running about in circles and
journeys through the dark over uncertain roads and culs de sac;<br />
then, just before the end, there are all kinds of terrors,<br />
with shivering, trembling, sweating, and utter amazement.<br />
After this, a strange and wonderful light meets the wanderer;<br />
he is admitted into clean and verdant meadows,<br />
where he discerns gentle voices, and choric dances,<br />
and the majesty of holy sounds and sacred visions.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">That the wedding and close union of the soul
with the body<br />
is a thing really contrary to nature may clearly be seen from all this.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">So we find passages such as this where RC is
placed in uncertainty, discomfort and the feeling of ‘imminent danger’:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“…he bound each of us in a several
place, and so went away with our small Tapers, and left us poor Wretches
in Darkness. Then first began some to perceive the imminent danger, and I
myself could not refrain Tears. For although we were not forbidden to speak,
yet anguish and affliction suffered none of us to utter one
word. For the Cords were so wonderfully made, yet none could cut them, much
less get them off his Feet: yet this comforted me, that still the future gain,
of many a one, who had now betaken himself to rest, would prove very little to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Or indeed the psychological results of
witnessing the ritual beheading of the six kings, which, understandably,
prevents him from sleeping:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“.. his intention was to lull me asleep,
which at last I well observed, whereupon I made as though I was fast asleep,
but no sleep came into my Eyes, and I could not put the Beheaded out of my
mind.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Whether Johann Valentin Andreae wrote The
Chymical Wedding is debatable, especially as in his later life Andreas
considers alchemy to be a subject of ridicule and astrology not to be serious
science, and this does not accord with the Chymical Wedding which is
resplendent with opaque and obscure references to astrology and alchemy but then
so the Fama Fraternitatis itself is also critical of many aspects of so called alchemy
as perhaps a serious scientific community might be who wanted to distance
themselves from quacks and charlatans:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“But now concerning, and chiefly in this our
age, the ungodly and accursed gold-making, which hath gotten so much the upper
hand, whereby under colour of it, many runagates and roguish people do use
great villanies and cozen and abuse the credit which is given them; yea, now
adays men of discretion do hold the transmutation of metals to be the highest
point and fastigium in philosophy.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is possible that Andreas wrote the tract
as a detail of his experience but again this seems unlikely since the story is
written from the perspective of an old man and it would be a stretch for
Andreas to reframe what must be a personal narrative in this way.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Alchemy, although more often associated with
the search for the Philosopher’s stone and the transmutation of base metal into
gold is actually just a previous incarnation of what we call chemistry. The
alchemy in the Chymical Wedding, which is wrapped up in allegorical and
metaphorical references to the Greek Phoenix, seems to be the description of an
authentic scientific experiment with various chemical reactions which at that
time were seen as something mystical and the scientific lexicon at that time
being lacking, were described in unfamiliar terms which uses the language of
metaphor. The experiment described in the tract is carried out with all the
gravity of a religious liturgy including music and ‘virgins’ shrouded in white
linen.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The nature of the experiment and the accuracy
of the narrative cannot be certain, but the facts laid out by the narrator are:
that the coffins of the six kings and the black executioner, apparently
executed the previous day are brought to a tower containing a series of
laboratories at each floor of the tower. That the narrator and his fellows
enter a laboratory where they distil the essences from various plants and
minerals and put these into glasses, believing that the experiment would be
able to restore the bodies to life, meanwhile, the women wash the bodies of the
men. RC sees seven flames rolling across the sea, which he believes to be the
spirits of the departed men, these flames advance to the top pinnacle of the
tower in which the laboratory is located.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The next morning, they awake, having slept on
mattresses in the laboratory at the bottom of the tower, there they discuss
what might happen next: whether the men would be returned to life, or whether
the experiment would produce an elixir which would give longer life to all, or
indeed whether the men had really been killed at all and someone had been
killed in their place. They then make their way up to the next room in the
tower above them which they have to do with the use of a ladder, ropes or
wings, where they are greeted by one of the women and the narrator believes a
container is brought in which contain the six bodies of the beheaded men.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">A round object wrapped in taffeta which is
believed to be the head of the moor who executed the six kings, is placed in a
kettle and covered it with a lid full of holes.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">One of the compounds they had distilled,
presumably something strongly caustic is poured into the kettle which is then
brought to the boil and from the holes the liquid rises out and reaches the
bodies below where it dissolves them into a liquid. A tap at the bottom of the
container containing the dissolved bodies was turned and a very red liquid was
removed from the casket and filled a large golden globe. Then the casket
containing the bodies was taken away and he wondered if anything was left of
the bodies and whether it was disposed of, but he noticed that they were
markedly lighter but the liquid extracted from the dissolving agents from the
bodies was heavier and in large quantity and needed to be borne by six men and
it took a lot of effort to move the golden globe outside of the room.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">After a moment of rest and conversation they
are again instructed to come back up into the room above which for some reason
they have to do again with the ladder, ropes and wings, while the virgins and
attendants have their own special access which they are not allowed to use.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In this room the narrator now describes the
golden globe in the middle of the room along with a series of polished mirrors
and windows by which the sun shines onto the mirrors and thus onto the golden
globe which created such a dazzle of light and heat that they could not look at
it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">After the globe had cooled it was opened and
inside was found a snow-white egg. This egg was then taken away. A little while
later they were instructed to climb to the next level in the tower through a
third hole to the fourth level of the tower, where they found the ‘egg’ being
tended and a large copper kettle filled with yellow sand was being warmed over
a fire and the egg placed in it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is well worth noting that the Red King and
White Queen are alchemical terms and the ‘chemical marriage’ is the joining of
these two disparate gendered compounds. The Red King is sulphur and the White
Queen is mercury. The Moors head, is the third element ‘negrido’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The egg hatches and a hungry bird emerges
which they must feed on the blood of the beheaded kings and the ‘bird’ goes
through several changes, turning black, then moulting all his ‘feathers’ which
were replaced by white ones and the bird grew ‘tamer’ that is possibly, less chemically
reactive. He was fed again and his feathers became all coloured. The water was
evaporated off until a blue sediment or stone was left which was ground and
painted onto the bird. After a break they were let into a fifth room where the
bird was put into a milky looking bath and was covered with a fine white
powder. The bath was heated slowly and they had to keep the bird from escaping
from the hot bath. The bird lost all his feathers to the bath which appeared to
be blue of colour.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The bird is a metaphor which represents both
a chemical substance but also the alchemist involved in a transformative
experience. The first stage observed was the black feathers, which is said by
some traditions to represent the first stage of meditation when there is only
darkness in the inner world. The next stage is the white bird, or white swan
which is said to be the awakening of the etheric body of light. The next stage
is the pelican, consciously being able to use the etheric body, followed by the
Peacock which represents astral body consciousness and finally the phoenix
which is the freeing of the spirit from the bounds of the physical. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Briefly, the alchemical transformation of the
initiate is said to be a seven-stage process. The terms used to describe this
transformation are also terms widely used in chemistry although a concept such
a putrefaction, otherwise known as ‘negrido’ or blackening no longer has any
particular scientific relevance, nor do the mediaeval chemical transformations
of ‘whitening’ or ‘reddening’. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">If we look at the alchemical process
psychologically then it is clear we are looking at a transformation of a
person’s character, behaviour and general outlook and from analysis the
burning, melting and reconstitution terminology used it is clear that a very
real ego-death is taking place. The question is how do you kill an ego and what
does such a thing really mean or imply? Well, from examining the events of the
Chymical Wedding we can see that confusion, foreboding, nervous tension, fear
and terror, are all instilled in the….we might call him victim as much as
initiate or candidate but I suppose like the term ‘mystae’ since this word
represents he who undergoes the mysteries and fundamentally I believe all
mysteries have had the same intention throughout the so-called religious cults
of the ancient world, I say ‘so called’ because the beliefs of the Ancients
cannot really be indulged with the term religion since its priests were
knowingly using their secret knowledge of science to deliberately trick and
mislead what we might call their flock of initiates. We have often heard how
the priesthood exerted great power during the various periods of the roughly
three-thousand-year period of generally acknowledged Ancient Egyptian history.
Power is attained generally through knowledge though violence is another method
though generally a much less reliable one, and even if violence is part of the
acquisition of power, which in the case of the Arab conquests of the 7th
Century, the acquisition of profound and deep knowledge following the violent
conquest guaranteed the supremacy of the Arabs for several hundred years before
the rise of the Turks who in their turn conquered through violence then
knowledge.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">To make things even stranger and more
confusing, the experiment and the terminology used in the Chymical Wedding is
strongly suggestive of the experiment described in the 16th Century alchemical
treatise The Rosarium Philosophorum. The Name Rosarium or Rosary does not refer
to the Catholic Rosary beads but to a ‘rose garden’ as a metaphor for
wise-sayings but just as likely the Rosarium evokes the Rosicrucians since it
is so close in its content to the Chymical Wedding.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The text is strongly suggestive of some kind
of chemical experiment but with the suggestion of some kind of spiritual
subtext, many commentators despair of making sense of the text and instead pay
more attention to the series of twenty fascinating and strange woodcuts which
accompanied the<span> </span>appearance of the text
in 1550. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Some of the images are said to have
antecedents in other alchemical work in particular the German Book of the Holy
Trinity produced in the early 15th Century by a German Franciscian monk. The
book gives a specifically Christian treatment to what was considered occult and
impious magic and the specific Christian context of this, and of the Chymical
Wedding provided a broad acceptance in society of what had hitherto been treat
with suspicion by the church authorities. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Adam Mclean with his well-regarded analysis
of the woodcuts writes of the work:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“In that it sought to unite these two
alchemical realms, the Rosarium set a style for alchemical literature
of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, in which the physical
process became a mirror for soul development, and the inner content of soul
experiences became projected upon outer processes in the laboratory or the
natural world.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">And this really is the accepted understanding
of the significance of alchemical treatises, that they ostensibly describe a
scientific process using contemporaneous scientific terms which also serve to
simultaneously and obliquely describe spiritual, psychological and bio-chemical
changes and transformations.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This may seem alien to us, this fusion of
science and religion into an indivisible mass from which it is impossible to
discern the glittering of spiritual truths from the solid lumps of science but
as we have already discussed, in the ancient world science and religion were
one and the same, because science was a jealously guarded secret and its mysteries
were key tools for the priestly class to bamboozle, astound and enrapture their
initiates. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The stages of the alchemical process of
personal transformation are at the most basic, as follows: the first stage is
calcination which is to subject something to extreme heat, so if we were to
imagine how this metaphor might materialise within the context of some kind of
initiatory mind-control programme then we would subject our mystae to extreme
stresses and various other kind of pressures, in order to see which parts of
him glow under the heat and which elements diminish and are burned off,
figuratively speaking.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIs8YqJcSOirGx7y5VuImvaEdKMtRqq2Mp2R5BjBJTw_rWfwRB8YVddUCGQ06HLSCoRQb_6VzVn01JkX7U-1v3uYxg_6XmZaTdppXxxtG8d2kuw5lNlak1xO6hZ6ntjrpbo6WKrPxwcaUUXYj6O3b6AkDPODiijx3rp94yZOnGUwn2m-6UtQR_jLTMCmw/s464/Rosarium4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="464" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIs8YqJcSOirGx7y5VuImvaEdKMtRqq2Mp2R5BjBJTw_rWfwRB8YVddUCGQ06HLSCoRQb_6VzVn01JkX7U-1v3uYxg_6XmZaTdppXxxtG8d2kuw5lNlak1xO6hZ6ntjrpbo6WKrPxwcaUUXYj6O3b6AkDPODiijx3rp94yZOnGUwn2m-6UtQR_jLTMCmw/w541-h478/Rosarium4.jpg" width="541" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">After this there is the sublimation or
dissolution stage which is the chemical process by which a solid turns directly
into a gas without passing through a liquid state. As this suggests, the
calcination or burning causes extreme energetic changes in the person and they
are entering a different stage of consciousness, one previously not experienced
except during peak or extreme situations.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This is what is referred to by the bird
losing its black feathers in the heat and turning to white as it is depicted in
the Chymical Wedding. In the woodcuts which accompanied The Rosarium
Philosophorum this stage is shown by the King and Queen sitting in a bath
together, it is also represented by winged serpents and dark dragons. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw9yYYl4ErGePN4b2tlkVPPk1b9UaYoveVrROq5_b9k39cmrh8wQUK0MyCq7NrtlUYe6-ThqvA4WIfVlINwNE1DDP0PCCgz4u2vQN6Oaqp1Ko7WyZV50Fk5p9DCxja-_ThxZoRES9HRfxz7F5Umqm21SIUGrXYtRz9IiYkjZMpOzpn5WW1YvoR4LncvKA/s480/sublimation.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="459" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw9yYYl4ErGePN4b2tlkVPPk1b9UaYoveVrROq5_b9k39cmrh8wQUK0MyCq7NrtlUYe6-ThqvA4WIfVlINwNE1DDP0PCCgz4u2vQN6Oaqp1Ko7WyZV50Fk5p9DCxja-_ThxZoRES9HRfxz7F5Umqm21SIUGrXYtRz9IiYkjZMpOzpn5WW1YvoR4LncvKA/w447-h468/sublimation.jpg" width="447" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> Another

where the spirit trapped in the body sees the Earth around as something dead
and that real life is beyond. The feeling of timelessness is often a symptom
reported by those undergoing psychosis: they feel time is frozen or has
vanished altogether and that what they are really experiencing is the frozen
nature of our reality while their mind has been set to a different time-zone,
namely of the eternity of the spirit. The pure quintessence from the previous
alchemical stage has now realised it is here trapped on Earth, and though it
has wings it cannot fly, please excuse the flowery metaphor but these are
precisely the images which have been evoked and used to describe this
particular stage in the ongoing mental process. This is followed by distillation or purification. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoW8WdsCMAsd9r4UaICNrWt9jbaET-O0vDkBprzZZyxADQxt8E-1xTiO9TuLzg-vT3RIwFxr9ABUkV0ta04YJUjCchId6HLQvBvoxwP_RmgKthdZe8-lQC_L6e9DQJ5wbPgz_tpGSwwQ5suJTB99eJjNmzdj0Q-k6uXXOfzzxgPovzUNyphX_kI-lXw54/s452/distillation.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="372" data-original-width="452" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoW8WdsCMAsd9r4UaICNrWt9jbaET-O0vDkBprzZZyxADQxt8E-1xTiO9TuLzg-vT3RIwFxr9ABUkV0ta04YJUjCchId6HLQvBvoxwP_RmgKthdZe8-lQC_L6e9DQJ5wbPgz_tpGSwwQ5suJTB99eJjNmzdj0Q-k6uXXOfzzxgPovzUNyphX_kI-lXw54/w437-h359/distillation.jpg" width="437" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This alchemical process, can be applied to
both the distillation and purification of a chemical substances like strong
mineral acids from natural compounds, such as the elaborate distillation of
sulphuric acid or what was known as oil of vitriol. Vitriol was so called
because in nature it resembled glassy crystals usually found with gravel in
mines where groundwater had drawn off iron-sulphate deposits. It was necessary
to first calcify or burn the substance into ash, then dissolve or leech out the
various compounds into water, then fermentation or putrefaction would have been
the first stage of distillation which tended to create a highly malodorous
substance as the organic compounds present in the sulphur for instance, would
give the well-known smell of rotten eggs, which upon separation of the organic
elements and distillation would produce the pure substance which could then be
coagulated into a powder or ‘stone’ as it was then known. So, this alchemical
process was basically a process of taking a natural impure compound, and
through various treatments extracting the desired pure and rarefied compound,
whether that be an acid, gas or crystal.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3X7yMYUzrtHSB1lEcOlrTIRTU9wJ-RXp1J7EY1ddgTVEtaON2GHp0DG6cXVtx64xiLvktmcSmCe48Pfb_1TRJlqn1wxsmq4nXMrEuPV7rxOVdW-_u84EdinMINqkr0aD19JYbDu7KkvSA-TO1gDROz-vgQoxjb6aYvoiqzxjaaiKVksqLJB5qAubjE7o/s606/Rosarium10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="486" height="513" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3X7yMYUzrtHSB1lEcOlrTIRTU9wJ-RXp1J7EY1ddgTVEtaON2GHp0DG6cXVtx64xiLvktmcSmCe48Pfb_1TRJlqn1wxsmq4nXMrEuPV7rxOVdW-_u84EdinMINqkr0aD19JYbDu7KkvSA-TO1gDROz-vgQoxjb6aYvoiqzxjaaiKVksqLJB5qAubjE7o/w412-h513/Rosarium10.jpg" width="412" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In the early 17th Century work The Azoth of
the Philosophers we find what was later to become a Freemasonic moto which is
often found inside the Masonic Chamber of Reflection, a small sombre room
adjoining the main hall where the candidate awaiting initiation is placed.
Along with the acronym there are several objects or representations of objects
alluding to alchemical themes: “visita interiora terrae, rectificando que,
invenies occultum lapidem which means ‘visit the interior of the Earth, rectify
yourself and you will find the hidden stone’ which in turn is a metaphor for
some kind of inner alchemical transformation and spiritual realignment which
will reveal the secret substance of the soul.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Things however do not quite seem to go well
in the end for our RC, or at least that is how it is made to appear, it is
likely that events unfolded precisely as they were planned. Despite the feeling
of ultimately being honoured with celestial visions and the great pomp and
ceremony of the King and Queen and the untold number of finely attired
‘virgins’ RC commits, or rather is induced to commit an act reprehensible in
the eyes of the King. He sees Venus naked:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">"Here (said he) if
you please, we may go further down"; "I still follow
you" (replied I) so I went down the steps, where it was exceeding
dark, but the Page immediately opened a little Chest, wherein stood a
small ever-burning Taper, at which he Kindled one of the many Torches
which lay by. I was mightily terrified, and seriously asked how he durst do
this? He gave me for answer. As long as the Royal Persons are still at
rest, I have nothing to fear. Herewith I espied a rich Bed ready-made, hung
about with curious Curtains, one of which he drew, where I saw the Lady
Venus stark-naked for he heaved up the Coverlets too) lying there in such
Beauty, and a fashion so surprizing, that I was almost beside myself, neither
do I yet know whether it was a piece thus Carved, or an humane Corps that lay
dead there; For she was altogether immoveable, and yet I durst not touch her.
So she was again covered, and the Curtain drawn before her, yet she was still
(as it were) in my Eye.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Throughout the 18<sup>th</sup> Century Isis
veiled was a metaphor for modern science and unveiling Isis was a metaphor for
making scientific discoveries. So here with the discoveries in chemistry of the
alchemists the analogy of seeing Venus naked would be another allusion which
only the initiate would understand the deeper meaning of.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFrDs8kA8qGQSll4lhhy00_P7Tm_fuSacPikRhownE6gMMiKqqfbWQc0cfUBYKA66WhgApTHgVsk_XMGenn0EcY5pPQUtBqXOTrov-ixEzuNfyP4F3kzHf8lM36j-u7vjsLWNCQ52vbBiXZhl0u1-E4aFRXwsyoiwi8txwCn2hFpriOCN1dl2opMbvlc/s739/Frontispiece_to_The_Temple_of_Nature.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="739" data-original-width="595" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFrDs8kA8qGQSll4lhhy00_P7Tm_fuSacPikRhownE6gMMiKqqfbWQc0cfUBYKA66WhgApTHgVsk_XMGenn0EcY5pPQUtBqXOTrov-ixEzuNfyP4F3kzHf8lM36j-u7vjsLWNCQ52vbBiXZhl0u1-E4aFRXwsyoiwi8txwCn2hFpriOCN1dl2opMbvlc/w382-h474/Frontispiece_to_The_Temple_of_Nature.jpg" width="382" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Despite his page deliberately leading him to
the chamber and even lifting up the covers so that he might specifically see
Venus naked, he admits to his fault and as a punishment is told that he must
take the place of the gate-porter. Indeed, the previous porter whom RC replaces
is described: </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Now in the first place I asked the King what
the condition of this porter was. He friendlily answered me, that he was a very
famous and rare astrologer, and always in high regard with the Lord his Father,
but having once committed a fault against Venus, and seen her in her bed of
rest, this punishment was therefore imposed upon him, that he should wait at
the first gate for so long until someone should release him from it. I replied,
‘May he then be released?’ ‘Yes,’ said the King, ‘if anyone can be found that
has transgressed as highly as himself, he must take his place, and the other
shall be free.’ This went to my heart, for my conscience convinced me that I
was the offender, yet I kept quiet, and herewith delivered the supplication.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">We can infer that there is a feeling that
after experiencing the unique initiation into the mysteries and to have the
whole court apparently at your service in furthering your wisdom and spiritual
knowledge you must again, take your place in the mundane world, now serving the
order in a mundane fashion bereft and even excluded from the palace for ever
more and only serving to allow entry to the next initiates into the mysteries:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“After me the rest were called for too, and
came jocundly out again, which pained me still more, for I imagined nothing
other than that I must finish my life under the gate. I also had many pensive
thoughts running up and down in my head, what I should do, and how to spend the
time. At length I considered that I was now old, and according to the course of
nature, had few years more to live. And that this anguished and melancholy life
would quickly send me from this world, and then my door-keeping would be at an
end, and by a most happy sleep I might quickly bring myself to the grave. I had
many of these thoughts. Sometimes it vexed me that I had seen such gallant
things, and must be robbed of them.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">So the story ends on a strangely glum note, and perhaps the feelings evoked at the end by RC reflect the feeling the Illuminated consciousness might experience, to know that there is indeed a spiritual world waiting for him, but first he must live through the rest of his life in the material world, metaphorically 'door keeping' as he waits for his life to end until his soul can be free once again.</span></span> <br /></p>Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-2107717849351116762023-08-02T21:02:00.013+04:002023-08-04T11:50:57.788+04:00What is the Kabbalah?<p> Chapter from my book: Demons of Eleusis.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRKv_Wn-Rv43WTWaQjk2t2-OVYCc6WJ8S7EudAa6pBuDjqqlITCbnSP8PYA5des5KdEGN5jFsJwcEbJRbKhAedHCldqIXjjAjfKyqrM6Gk3lrrA9icCxaLwN1hAaoaPnIqxHk-Ex7M3dI0igxI-BE7ZrlaMm2PMKVhVR5izvu08GxYCGLjwDq3G-D2juc/s1024/Portae_Lucis-903x1024.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="903" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRKv_Wn-Rv43WTWaQjk2t2-OVYCc6WJ8S7EudAa6pBuDjqqlITCbnSP8PYA5des5KdEGN5jFsJwcEbJRbKhAedHCldqIXjjAjfKyqrM6Gk3lrrA9icCxaLwN1hAaoaPnIqxHk-Ex7M3dI0igxI-BE7ZrlaMm2PMKVhVR5izvu08GxYCGLjwDq3G-D2juc/w416-h472/Portae_Lucis-903x1024.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><!--[if !mso]>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Kabbalah is commonly referred to as a
collection of works which comprise a form of Jewish mysticism. QBLH meaning
‘tradition’ as in ‘Oral Tradition’ is principally comprised of three books: The
Sefir Yetsira (Book of Formation), the Sefir ha-Bahir (Book of Illumination)
and The Zohar (Splendour); the earliest of these - the Sefir Yetsira is
attributed to Rabbi Akiva Ben Joseph who died, probably murdered by the Romans
during the Third Jewish Revolt lead by the self-styled Messiah: Bar Kokhba. Although
these key texts of the Kabbalah generally appeared in the 12th century onwards the
attribution of these texts is much earlier, generally to the historically
critical post Second Temple period though such attribution may be an artifice
of mediaeval writers seeking perhaps a false authority for their writings and
there is much ongoing debate among Jewish and mainstream scholars as to who
really wrote these texts and when.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Interestingly we can observe at least two
major breaks from Jewish orthodoxy in the Sefir ha-Bahir and this will very
much become a theme I wish to focus on since this attempt to subvert Judaism
from within by a secondary force which seems antagonistic to the Torah and
wishing to destroy it despite claiming the contrary, is a key part of my
thesis. The following excerpt shows the promulgation of a belief in
reincarnation, an idea alien to conventional Judaism but which was a fundamental
belief of the Pharisees who would later become the core of Rabbinical Judaism
after the fall of the Second Temple and it is worth noting that the majority of
Pharisees themselves were not of the lineage of Israel but were actually
Edomites. <span> </span>Reincarnation has historically
been more commonly associated with Hinduism, Buddhism, and probably more
pertinently here, the mystery religions of Ancient Greece:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Why is there a righteous person who has
good, and [another] righteous person who has evil? This is because the [second]
righteous person was wicked previously, and is now being punished. Is one then
punished for his childhood deeds? Did not Rabbi Simon say that in the Tribunal
on high, no punishment is meted out until one is twenty years or older. He said:
I am not speaking of his present lifetime. I am speaking about what he has
already been, previously.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This isn’t to dismiss reincarnation as a
concept, merely to point out that it is inconsistent with Jewish religious
tradition and to see that it is adapted by the key writers or compilers of the
Kabbalah, shows that something which is alien to the Jewish tradition entered
their religion and transformed it, I would say a whole package of alien
traditions entered Judaism and turned it into something infinitely dangerous: a
religion with an acquired arsenal of techniques from the Greek mystery religion
to transform consciousness; if such techniques are used, out of context or
within a framework which is not properly adapted to them, then the consequences
can be extremely grave and such techniques can become extremely destructive to
the people undergoing them and to the society as a whole which also becomes
transformed. If additionally, these techniques are used as a weapon to actually
subjugate and conquer a perceived enemy, which I believe to ultimately be the
case, then whoever holds the key to these transformative techniques can dictate
not only the physical reality which is experienced by those who are dominated
by the secret esoteric machinery of the secret society’s mystery religion but
can also dictate their spiritual reality, which is infinitely more insidious.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It would seem therefore that the doctrines of
the Eleusinian mystery school, which taught reincarnation within the context of
the Orphic religion, spread throughout Greek society and the ancient world of
the Gentiles and was promulgated by luminaries such as Pythagoras and Socrates.
The Orphic religion teaches that in order to achieve salvation or detachment
from the wheel of birth and rebirth it is necessary to undergo a ritual
purification called ‘telete’ while the uninitiated ‘amuetos’ must reincarnate
indefinitely.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">We can only guess what might have transpired
during these ancient rites suffice it to say that with a combination of
psychoactive compounds, extreme emotions and a sense of fear for one’s life,
combined with witnessing extraordinary events being manifested with a variety
of special effects and scientific knowledge known to the priesthood but not the
initiate, then all sorts of illusions can be drawn on to strongly influence the
mind of the initiate and no doubt, some real kind of revelation truly brought
to bear. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">An example from the Christian era of the
priesthood having special knowledge which gave them power over people would be
the case of the monks of the 11th Century order of Saint Anthony. They were
primarily based in France and would treat those who were suffering from Saint
Anthony’s Fire or ergotism, that is the presumably accidental ingestion of the
highly toxic ergot fungus as a result of its contamination with the local grain
crop from which ergotised bread was made. It is surmised that the efficacy of
the Order of Saint Anthony lay solely in their knowledge of what caused ergotism
and that they simply cured their patients by removing them from the source of
ergot in their diet by giving them bread which either grew in areas without an
ergot infestation of by using grain which had been previously screened. The
knowledge of ergot was something we have conjectured may have been known to the
priesthood of the Eleusinian mysteries who may have deliberately used this
agent as a psychoticant. Additionally, knowledge of the effects of ergot must
have been known to early Iron Age societies in Europe since it has been found
in the stomachs of those ritually murdered and placed in bogs. Drugging prior
to ritual death was also common in South America where coca leaves and alcohol
were used as a sedative in the transition of life to death, the purpose of
their death being that they would then become ‘ancestors’ to spiritually watch
over their people.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Another unusual and one might say heretical
extract from the Sefer ha-Bahir, relates to the Biblical fall of man and this
material has actually become somewhat accepted amongst certain circles of
esoteric Christianity:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“The soul of the female comes from the Female, and the
soul of the male comes from the Male. This is the reason why the Serpent
followed Eve. He said, “Her soul comes from the north, and I will therefore
quickly seduce her.” And how did he seduce her? He had intercourse with her.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is probably a stretch to consider the story of the
Garden of Eden as anything more than an allegory for some other key events
which may have taken place in the remote history of mankind in the area in
which he seems to have developed all of the arts and from where human
civilisation emerged. It is in the Middle-East and the area specifically
between the Euphrates and Tigris which is where Eden was said to have been
situated. But why the keenness to sexualise this story and introduce an element
which had not previously been suspected? And why the need to claim that gender
is something which also exists in the spiritual realm? What need would spirits
have of being gendered since they presumably do not reproduce. This is a theme
we will also see develop greatly: the overt sexualisation of the Torah and of
spiritual matters in general.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Founder of the international Kabbalah foundation: Bnei
Baruch<span style="background: white;">, </span>Michael Laitman claims that Rabbi
Shimon bar Yochai wrote the Zohar in the 2<sup>nd</sup> century. Known as
Rashbi, he was the most eminent disciple of Rabbi Akiva and was said to have
compiled 3,000 years of Kabbalah and many of his sayings are found in the
Talmud, although modern scholars doubt this.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Rabbi Akiva is renowned as one of the great Jewish sages
or ‘tanna’ and the Sefir Yetsira is attributed to him although there are
scholastic doubts as to this, although it is more plausible that he was the
creator of the early divisions of the Mishnah. It was Akiva who gave the
ill-fated Jewish military leader of the third and final Jewish revolt against
the Romans Simon ben Kosevah the sobriquet Simon bar Kokhba, (son of the star:
a reference to the messianic prophecy of an Israelite military leader referred
to in Numbers 24:17) </span><span face=""Verdana", sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">and considered him to be the long-awaited Messiah.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The revolt ended in 135AD with the wholesale slaughter of
the Jews (with as many as half a million killed) and the razing of their towns
and villages. It is probable that this event became the catalyst for their
long-term programme of world domination and total subjugation of gentiles.
Subsequent Talmudic opinion of Simon bar Kokhba considers him to be a
‘false-messiah’.</span><span face=""Arial", sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Zohar appeared in 13<sup>th</sup> century
Spain and was published by Moses de Leon who ascribed it to Rashbi in mythical
and unlikely terms.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is Rashbi who is credited
with saying:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“The best of the gentiles merit death; the
best of serpents should have its head crushed; and the most pious of women is
prone to sorcery.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">There is also criticism of the Kabbalah, specifically the
Zohar as being evidently written from a post Talmudic perspective and also some
of the references in the text firmly place it in a 13<sup>th</sup> century
context.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">For instance, the Zohar predicted the arrival of the
Jewish Messiah in the </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">70th year of
the 6th millennium</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">: the 14th Century, and that he would be
caught up in the wars between the Muslims and Christians. But since there were
no Muslims in the 2<sup>nd</sup> century it cannot have been written by Rashbi
but clearly by someone contemporaneous with the activities of the crusading
Christians. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The crusader wars between Christians and
Muslims had been waged for 200 years and were ongoing during the lifetime of
Moses de Leon so it might have seemed a safe bet that they would continue into
the future. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Unfortunately for the writer of the Zohar, whoever he
was, but it was probably de Leon, the Crusader presence in the Holy Land
effectively ended in 1291 with the Fall of Acre, so this constitutes a failed
prediction and rebuffs any suggestion of the text being divinely inspired. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">These
passages are generally not included with published versions of the Zohar (for
obvious reasons) but they do make up the corpus of the written texts, but such
failed predictions serve both to date the writing of the Zohar to sometime in
the 13<sup>th</sup> century prior to 1291 and also to discredit it as having
any prophetic or revelatory value.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">William Wynn Westcott co-founder of The Hermetic Order of
the Golden Dawn, celebrated Freemason and ‘ceremonial magician’ authored a
translation and commentary on the Sefir Yetsira for members of the Theosophical
Society, The Golden Dawn and the Rosicrucians and it would become a major
source for the Golden Dawn’s initiation ceremonies. Westcott encapsulates the
Sefir Yetsira as: “..a most curious philosophical scheme of creation, drawing a
parallel between the origin of the world, the sun, the planets, the elements,
seasons, man and the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.” Eliphas Levi,
the man who popularised the inverted Satanic pentagram, said of it: </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">"The Sepher Jezirah and the Apocalypse are the masterpieces of
Occultism”.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">From Schuchard:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“This mystical capacity to visualize the
architectural and pictorial expression of complex mathematical and geometrical
speculation became associated with the practical expertise of the architect and
master mason. In the schools of Merkabah mysticism, Jewish adepts increasingly
portrayed Solomon as an architectural magus and his master mason Bezalel as a
craftsman magus, initiated in the secrets of the Sepher Yetzirah. Thus, ‘Bezalel
knew how to combine the letters by which heavens and earth were formed,"
while he and his Merkabah heirs could visualize and manipulate the ‘measure of
the body’ of God (called the Shi'ur Komah).’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Sefir Yetsira is perhaps<i> the</i>
foundation text of the Kabbalah where many of the key concepts such as the ten Sefirot
and the 32 paths to God are first elucidated although at this early stage in
the mythos of Kabbalah no names have yet been attributed to the Sefirot, only
that there are ten of them: “Ten is the number of the ineffable Sefirot, ten
and not nine, ten and not eleven” just to be sure. In terms of historical
critical textual analysis this very much creates the impression that the
Kabbalah was something which aggregated and not something which emerged as a
complete and self-contained work. The 32 paths of wisdom, according to Jewish
tradition, are apparently derived from the 32 times the name ‘Elohim’ is mentioned
in Genesis. This in addition to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet being
added to the 10 Sefirot to make 32 combinations.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The 10 Sefirot are first named in the Sefir
ha-Bahir and the names of the first seven are taken from the Old Testament book
of Chronicles (although there are technically 11 Sefirot on the Kabbalistic
Tree of Life including Da’at but this is seen as all the Sefirot simultaneously
so it can be viewed as a state rather than a distinct Sefirot):</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness (chesed/gedullah),
power (gevurah), the glory (tiferet), the victory (netzach), the splendour
(hod) for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom
(malchut) and you are exalted as head over all.” Chronicles 29:11.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The idea became developed in the Talmud that
God created the universe specifically using these attributes which would later
become the stations or the Sefirot of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“By ten things was the world created, by
wisdom and by understanding, and by reason and by strength by rebuke and by
might, by righteousness and by judgment, by loving kindness and
compassion." Talmud, Tractata Hagiga 12a. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">The ten Sefirot in
descending order are: Crown (Keter), Wisdom (Chokmah), Understanding (Binah),
Kindness (Chesed), Discipline (Gevurah), Glory (Tiferet), Victory (Netzach),
Splendour (Hod), Foundation (Yesod) and Kingdom (Malkuth).</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">The logic of the ten Sefirot
and even of the Ain Soph is an internal one which has no observable independent
reality, even in metaphysical terms and cannot really be validated. It seems to
be and perhaps it might be more useful and charitable to see this system as an
idealised from of spiritual self-discipline but the very fact that the Kabbalah
was built on such shifting sands and from the very beginning seemed to be more
a series of word and number games being stacked up on top of each other through
the centuries by successive Rabbis, might lead one to the conclusion that any
deeper meaning and spiritual insight which can be derived from the Kabbalah
might be entirely accidental.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is worth noting that
according to William Westcot:</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Many Kabalists have shown how the Ten Sefirot
are symbolised by the zig-zag lightning flash.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This could perhaps be the reason for David
Bowie’s, and later Lady Gaga’s adoption of this style motif. Bowie’s interest
in the Kabbalah and Crowley are generally well-known by now.</span><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">On the subject of Crowley,
this evidently opportunistic approach to Jewish mysticism led by people like
Aleister Crowley, who himself probably knew full well what a sham the Kabbalah
was, adopting the terminology and structures to suit his own nefarious
purposes. So while Da’at supposedly represents the idealised state of all 10 Sefirot
acting in perfection, for Crowley it represents ‘The Night of Pan’. No doubt
some kind of unsavoury experiment in frenzy and practised abominations, and as
expected Crowley writes:</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">The truly magical operations of Love are therefore the Trances, more
especially those of Understanding; as will readily have been appreciated by
those who have made a </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">careful Qabalistic</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;"> study of the nature of Binah. For she is omniform as Love and as
Death, the Great Sea whence all Life springs, and whose black womb reabsorbs
all. She thus resumes in herself the duplex process of the Formula of Love
under Will; for is not Pan the All-Begetter in the heart of the Groves at high
noon, and is not Her 'hair the trees of Eternity' the filaments of
All-Devouring Godhead 'under the Night of Pan?'”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">He furthermore adds that:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Night is that time of symbolic death
where the adept experiences unification with the All through the ecstatic
destruction of the ego-self.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Such things are not made quite so plain
in the texts of the Kabbalah though they are hinted at in the metaphor of the
Alchemical ‘Great Work’ (which is incidentally a term used by the Freemasons)
and the psychological transformations and how they might be achieved are fleshed
out in the Rosicrucian Chymical Wedding text.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Beyond Crowley’s sordid self-serving
sexual agenda, he reveals the same hidden purpose which we have seen exposed
time and time again in this work, through the centuries, whether of the UFO
contact cults, or Revolutionary agents and assassins or mystical Scientific
societies of the middle-ages,</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> Crowley writes:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">“There are many magical
teachers but in recorded history we have scarcely had a dozen Magi in the
technical sense of the word. They may be recognized by the fact that their
message may be formulated as a single word, which word must be such that it
overturns all existing beliefs and codes.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">Crowley, the Rosicrucians, the
Italian bankers and their change agents, the French and the Russian
revolutionaries, the UFO cults, all controlled by the same force throughout
time and space all dedicated to one theme: ‘overturning all existing beliefs’.
We now live in the world where their programme is about to achieve its final
goals bereft of the idealism which would have sustained those meddling and
wrong-headed do-gooders of the past.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">I found this quote during my
research though I have forgotten the attribution and the internet search
results being now so strictly filtered it is presently impossible for me to
find out, but it perfectly encapsulates what has happened to the world and how
everything has been subverted from within by the secret societies enacting this
millennial old agenda, emerging slowly in the mediaeval period, informed by and
secretly perpetuating Jewish mysticism amongst the elite of the West:</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">To destroy Western society it is not necessary to teach evil in place of
Christianity, it is just necessary to teach Judaism.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Although Crowley was no doubt a most
unpleasant man obsessed with his own pleasure at any cost, even to the lives
and sanity of others, by sexualising the Kabbalah he was only exaggerating what
was already implicit in the original texts. The fundamental problem with the
Kabbalah is that it is obsessed with male and female forces and sees these as
spiritual forces rather than merely physical ones. I suppose it is a matter of
opinion but I do not see the spiritual world as having any gender. It ought to
be evident that gender is a requirement of physical procreation in the physical
world and can serve no purpose once physicality ends in the spiritual world.
But according to the Kabbalah it persists and is primordial, emerging from the
very point of contact from the great Ain Soph to the Kether. With the third Sefira
Binah as being the ‘reflection’ of God, that is God seeing itself, then Binah
is receptive and hence a feminine principle and is known in Kabbalah as the
‘mother’ archetype. Confusingly however each successive Sefira has an
androgynous nature of both receiving and transmitting, receiving being a
supposedly feminine principle and transmitting being a masculine one. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">The opening tractate of the Zohar is
entitled The Rose and it could possibly be the true origin of the term
Rosicrucian. In the Zohar the rose is revealed to be a symbol for Israel, would
this make Rosicrucianism, that is, the rose and cross the first society of
Christian Zionism? This analysis would make perfect sense.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Rabbi Hizkiyah opened, ‘It is written, as a rose among
thorns.’ That a rose is the Assembly of Israel. Because there is a rose and
there is a rose, just as a rose among thorns is tinged with red and white, the
Assembly of Israel consists of judgment and mercy. Just as a rose has thirteen
petals, the Assembly of Israel is surrounded on all sides by the thirteen
attributes of mercy.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In<span style="background: white;"> the Zohar
the masculine energies Chokmah (wisdom) impregnated Binah (understanding) with
light to produce Tiferet or Beauty. To the Kabbalist the spiritual realm seems
to be held together with constant repetitions of sexual energies, it is hardly
any wonder then that we hear rumours of Freemasonry being little more than a
cleverly disguised cult of the phallus in the style of the ancient Egyptian
fertility mystery schools such as the allegory of the search for the poor
Osiris’ lost penis.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In his 2008 book Essential Judaism, George
Robinson writes:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Hokhmah is the “sperm” that will
impregnate Binah (Understanding) as the first step in the Creative
process.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“..it is the means by which Tiferet, the male
principle of the Divine, impregnates Shekhinah or Malkhut, the female
embodiment of the Divine. Yesod is the way in which Divine Creativity and
Fertility are visited upon all creation. Yesod is associated with the phallus…”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The other danger is the insistence of the Zohar of
literally embodying the fundamental spiritual powers of God in the human body.
In the Zohar this is called the Microprospus or Damuth Adam, the primordial
man, and might be more familiar as the pentagram which in reality is a stylised
representation of the human body. So the various Sefirot are said to manifest
at different points in or near the human body. I wonder if you can see where
this is heading? The problem is that again, sex does not seem to be something
merely physical but also primordial, in this belief system then, one can justify
all kinds of sexual rites in the delusion that these are spiritual forces and
therefore they escape any kind of ideas of modesty or morality, and these are
precisely the errors the Ancient World fell into. Where the Gods of the Ancient
World were merely expressions of man’s own nature, it was at least to Judaism’s
credit that they insisted that God created Man in his own image and not the
other way around. But the Kabbalah precisely does that, it takes the physical
world and all its desires, emotions and polarities and thrusts them into the
spiritual domain, up to the very highest levels until it reaches Ain Soph and
ends in nothingness. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Master Mason and Rosicrucian, Samuel Liddell MacGregor
Mathers</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia", serif; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">who
co-founded the Golden Dawn along with William Westcott also authored a
translation of some of the tracts of the Zohar which he translated from the
Latin version of </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Christian Knorr von Rosenroth. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">In his ‘Confessions’ Aleister Crowley
wrote of the decline of the Golden Dawn and of Mathers himself and makes an
intriguing allusion:</span><span face=""Arial", sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“…Mathers, of course, carried on; but he had fallen. The Secret Chiefs
cast him off; he fell into deplorable abjection; even his scholarship deserted
him. He published nothing new and lived in sodden intoxication till death put
an end to his long misery." </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">According to one-time personal secretary to
Aleister Crowley and populariser of the occult in the 1960’s Israel Regardie,
the Kabbalah was handed down to Adam after the fall of Man and the expulsion
from the Garden of Eden.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Regardie is particularly scathing of
religions, however he claims that Kabbalah does not belong to any religious
traditions, and also has a soft-spot for Witchcraft. In his book he mentions
Crowley, for whom he has ‘a tremendous respect’ unfortunately this respect
would not last once Crowley accused Regardie of ‘pure theft’ when he edited a 4
volume work on The Golden Dawn and in a bitter feud revealed to the world that
Regardie had once visited a prostitute in France and contracted gonorrhoea, neglecting
to mention that it was Crowley who had ordered him to visit the prostitute in
order to lose his virginity and overcome his inhibitions.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Although Crowley in his <i>Confessions</i> depicts Mathers as the true
source of spiritual contact between Crowley and the entities he served:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">"As far as I was concerned, Mathers
was my only link with the Secret Chiefs to whom I was pledged. I wrote to him
offering to place myself and my fortune unreservedly at his disposal; if that
meant giving up the Abra-Melin Operation for the present, all right."</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Mathers it seemed was in full psychic contact with various spiritual
entities; Crowley reports how he would play chess against pagan Gods, the moves
apparently being communicated to him and the opponents’ pieces he would move on
their behalf. One could still ascribe this to an over-active imagination I
suppose, but is it likely that merely an overactive imagination is enough to
influence the world on such a phenomenal cross-cultural and global scale,
taking control of the highest echelons of the ruling secret societies and being
the hidden hand behind the façade of our society?</span><sup><span face=""Arial", sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></sup></span></p>

were reported to have been either: "I am perplexed, Satan get out!"
or "Sometimes I hate myself" but Crowley’s reference to ‘Secret
Chiefs’ having deserted Mathers is intriguing and possibly hints at some kind
of ongoing psychic contact with a disembodied spiritual force.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In her book about occult societies <a name="_Hlk85390205">Talking

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“For a Golden Dawn initiate the work at
hand was to make contact with the divine spark that was thought to reside in
all humans…The Golden Dawn initiate was wanted to raise his or her
consciousness to attain what is termed <i>conversation </i>with the Holy
Guardian Angel. The practise of ritual magic in the Order of the Golden Dawn
was an attempt to change consciousness and to control the imagination by active
participation in psychic events.’</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">If the aim of the Golden Dawn is to
establish contact or ‘conversation’ with a so-called Holy Guardian Angel then
in theory, the whole human initiatory apparatus might be wholly unnecessary. It
might therefore be possible to directly contact this force using only a
pro-forma set of directions to express intent and the sense of required
ceremony. Such an approach was attempted by a blogger at the following website:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">I was trembling as I said the next words:</span></span></p>

neophyte into the tradition of the Golden Dawn.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Intriguingly the next part reminds us of the
experience of Barbara O’Brien communicating with that ‘something’ in the
casino:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“In Atlantic City, for the first time ever, I
went to the casinos came back a winner. I would move from one slot machine to
another just in time to get another big reward.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">He also mentions several other apparent
benefits which although we may surmise the cause we cannot be sure except
perhaps that he had connected with that ‘something’ which has a remarkable
power to provide beneficial coincidences. As to what that ‘something’ is, that
is perhaps the life-work of the reader to discover it for themselves and decide
whether this is a positive or negative force:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“I drive to various locations, I end up with
parking places very close to the entrances. The pain in my knee has vanished. I
need sixty–ninety minutes less sleep nightly than before. I no longer have a
need for coffee in the morning in order to get going. My minimal artistic
skills have improved. My reading speed and retention of what I read has vastly
improved.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">But according to </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Susan
Johnston Graf <span style="background: white;">being a member of the Golden Dawn,
was apparently not without a certain danger and she and hints about the reasons
for the group’s secretive nature:</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">‘The beliefs are hidden or secret
because of the perceived danger to the practitioners... the danger from within
comes in the form of psychic disintegration’ </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">The Golden Dawn has 10 grades which
correspond to the ten Sefirot of the Kabbalah as first outlines in the Sefir
Yetsira and Golden Dawn member WB Yeats wrote on these degrees and their
attainment:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“It matters nothing whether the Degrees

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">In 1901 Yeats wrote to a fellow Golden

organisation:</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Dion Fortune, an occultist who
established psychic contacts with ‘Ascended Masters’ and "the Shemesh of
the Aquarian Age" describes the character of the initiate in the
following, alchemical terms:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“He is tried in the furnace of sorrow

<p class="q-text" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Calibri", sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">Christian Knorr von <span style="background: white;">Rosenroth
was a very early 17<sup>th</sup> Century Theosophist who mistakenly believed he
might find some insight into Christianity in the Kabbalah and ultimately, he
gave a somewhat balanced view of the Kabbalah which confirms some of my own
criticisms:</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“I entered the path, worn by few,
traversed by no one I knew, and, furthermore, filled with so many hard stones,
uneven places, chasms, precipices, and such mud that it is not surprising that
so many, filled with dread abandoned it with disgust.. I shall sketch for you
in a few words what gold and whatever gems I have thus far dug out of this dirt
and what hope leads me further.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">I can readily agree with the feelings of
disgust with the constant sexualising of the finer things of the spirit world
and of the nature of God, along with the chasms of meaningless gematria drivel
which shrivel the mind. The feeling of studying the Zohar is thinking you may
have stumbled on something valuable, something shines and sparkles because it
is a phrase which actually makes sense, perhaps a phrase like:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“Tepheret is the path to beauty..” you read
on and it continues: “which equals the letter V” then talk about Queens and
things flowing, and then Hebrew consonants and silly gematria conceits and more
numbers and then a snatch of the Torah and a reference to Jacob. This is the
sum total of the Zohar, an endless permutation of meaninglessness, almost
fractal in its complexity reaching out deeply into precisely nowhere. A kind of
procedurally generated cerebral noise from minds perhaps, estranged from God
and so far from understanding that they had to invent a whole bizarre theosophy
of their own in order to populate their minds with something they think
resembles spirituality. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">But the overt repeated sexual imagery used in
the Zohar leads me to the strong suspicion that this is the origin of the
Satanic themed sex cults which occasionally make the news or more frequently,
are exposed by former insiders and victims of the cult, communicating through
the alternative media.<span> </span>Groups such as
Crowley’s Order of the Oriental Temple were a surface resurgence of this
ancient current which had previously surfaced in the form of the Duke of
Wharton’s and later Sir Frances Dashwood’s Hellfire Club of the 18<sup>th</sup>
Century. The Duke of Wharton was hugely indebted to banking interests as a
result of the collapse in the share price of the South Sea company in which he
had heavily invested. In 1723 after the dissolution of the Hellfire Club he
became the Grand Master of the first Freemasonic Grand Lodge of England. One
wonders, like so many other pawns of the manipulators whether Wharton’s debts
forced him to act for that financial power which sought to use him to exercise
its covert social agenda which we have seen either hinted at or historically
emerge from cover and unleash its furious agenda usually ending in the
destruction of Christian institutions and mass bloodshed and butchery.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Intriguingly Sir Frances Dashwood served, for
a short time at least, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">despite<span style="background: white;">, like Winston Churchill, being dubiously qualified:</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">"Of financial knowledge he did not
possess the rudiments, and his ignorance was all the more conspicuous from the
great financial ability of his predecessor Legge. His budget speech was so
confused and incapable that it was received with shouts of laughter.” </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Pollard, (1901) 'Dashwood, Francis’.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">From the Lesser Holy Assembly, a book of the
Zohah, we find references which recall the lexicon and iconography of the
Rosicrucian ‘Alchemical’ process: the talk of ‘brides’ and the union of Kings
and Queen, not to mention references which are markedly less guarded and
ambiguous than the ostensibly Christian Rosicrucian literature:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“The second association of Yesod with the genitals
arises from the union of the Microprosopus and his Bride…</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">When the male is joined with the female, they both constitute one
complete body, and all the universe is in a state of happiness because all
things receive blessings from their perfect body. And this is an arcanum
(secret).”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">And a strangely profane, almost sacrilegious
reference to the Bride:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“And she is mitigated, and receiveth blessing
in that place which is called the holy of holies below.”<span> </span>Referring to the female genitals in terms of
the holy sanctuary of the great Temple of Jerusalem would certainly not meet
with approval with what one conceives as the Torah studying conservative Jewish
mind and one cannot help but feel that such sexual rites and imagery was the
very thing the Levite priests were so critical of in Leviticus. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">So too the masculine sexual energies are unambiguously
referred to and put in spiritual terms and given a specific Sefira in the Tree
of Life and the male member too as Yesod is referred to as ‘most holy’. One can
just imagine what kind of excesses and perversions of spirituality could emerge
from a cult which reveres sexuality and specifically the sex organs as holy
objects worthy of reverence:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“And that which floweth down into that place where it is
congregated, and which is emitted through that most holy Yesod, foundation is
entirely white, and therefore is it called Chesed.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">And how “Chesed entereth into the Holy of
Holies”.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Yesod is mirrored on the Tree of Death by the
Qlippoth Gamaliel, or the ‘obscene one’, this is when the sexual energy is
repressed and builds up in the conscious mind leading to more and more obscene
sexual visions and the demon Lilith is the ruler of this domain. The problem is
if a mythology is created then invariably cults and worshippers will arise who
will choose to follow this ‘path’. So by creating the mythos of a ‘Tree of
Death’ ruled over by various evil spirits and entities, they also invariably
unleash these forces into the world as a kind of contrary ‘spiritual’
tradition, it is all the more tragic that such followers commit real evil acts
and atrocities which daily degrade life on Earth and whatever forces of chaos
are unleashed by wanton evil, are all based on nothing but the most irrational
and very silliest form of absolute nonsense.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">For instance, it is rather a sad and awful
satire to hear genitals and semen referred to as holy, and the genitals as
‘they holy of holies’ and surely must constitute sure and certain direct
evidence of the inner corruption of the Judaism of the patriarchs. So much of
the Zohar follows this template. A Sefira is referenced, then a quote from the
Torah, then something sexually suggestive about mothers, queens or brides. Then
a suggestive remark like ‘the holiness of the male enters’ or ‘beautiful path
into the queen’ or ‘the influx of pleasure’ or ‘marital conjunction’; make a reference
to Hebrew consonants then refer to a Biblical patriarch and you have your
Kabbalah mysticism</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">. This is the seed in order to procedurally generate the
Kabbalah.</span><sup><span face=""Arial", sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></sup></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Something like the following is typical:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“The husband hath dominion over the wife..
combination with the female, the letter I or Yod is the fundamental member by
which the world is preserved.. The father illuminating the mother.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In fact, some passages were considered so
‘off colour’ that Samuel Mathers did not translate them into English but kept
the original Latin of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth. We can’t be sure about
what is being discussed but there seems to be a reference to semen and
fertility:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“For everything that is the oil, and the declaration of,
and in the power of these men also, is gathered together out of the whole body;
for they are all of the army, which is produced from them, and come forth, and
all pour in the openings of the genital organs.”</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Judaism is pretty clear when it comes to
sexual license and such things, all though not strictly considered shameful are
certainly not considered holy, they are most assuredly ‘things of the flesh
that perisheth,” though notably this is a New Testament reference. In fact I
had assumed that the Bible was globally censorious regarding ‘the sins of the
flesh’ but to my surprise I found that it was largely the New Testament, not
the Old Testament, which exhorts the mind to think on spiritual things.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This distinction is hardly made in the Old
Testament and leads one to the suspicion of a certain unreformed carnality in
the Jewish mind which the Christian mind rejects and sets itself with a view on
higher and better things. The Old Testament however is full of sexual
immorality, often committed by <span> </span>the
Israelites themselves. King David having sex with Bathsheba, then murdering her
husband to cover up his immorality for example. The major sexual crimes in the
Old Testament tend to refer to homosexuality or of Israelite women sleeping
with non-Israelite men. Gross sexual license and carnality seems to be common
in the Old Testament and indeed is most often the behaviour of Israel’s Kings
for which they are chastised by the prophets and punished by God.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The book of Deuteronomy warns the children
of Israel:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Do not set up any wooden
Asherah pole beside the altar you build to the LORD your God, and do not erect
a sacred stone, for these the LORD your God hates.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Ahab King of Judea set up an altar to Baal and an Asherah
pole. It is possible that The Tree of Life comes from a time predating
monotheism in Judaism, when Jahweh was said to have had a wife: Asherah, who
was represented by a stylised tree or wooden pole. Asherah was an Ugaritic
mother Goddess and the role of Asherah was said to be the mediation of
opposites, which is exactly what we see with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and
is said to be part of the alchemical process. The result of mediation of the
opposites which we have seen has been such a key theme of the so called Western
mystical current since the middle-ages is quite startling. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">According to the Jewish Encyclopaedia:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“… the "Sefer Yeẓirah" draws the important
conclusion that "good and evil" have no real existence, for since
everything in nature can exist only by means of its contrast, a thing may be
called good or evil according to its influence over man by the natural course
of the contrast.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">What’s more it is my belief that the Biblical
Tree of Knowledge in the garden of Eden from which God commanded Adam not to
eat, was a reference to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and was an injunction not
to follow Asherah worship and the associated rites. This also makes sense of
the word for serpent which supposedly tempted Eve to eat of the fruit. The
Hebrew word for serpent is Nachash which also means the occult.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Mexican occultist and creator of the
Universal Christian Gnostic Movement: Samael Aun Weor followed in Aleister
Crowley’s footsteps in capitalising on the sexual nature of the Zohar by
deconstructing the whole Zohar and the Torah in sexual terms and then creating
his own bizarre cult on the back of it which judging by several accounts on the
internet, was quite good at destroying people’s lives:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">“</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">During
my near decade going through the various gnostic movements, I watched as people
wept while they gave up their assets and hobbies (even their jobs) in order to ‘sacrifice
themselves for humanity.’ I myself wept as I did things like destroy my video
game consoles and movies (or give them away) and even destroyed a huge
collection of books I had because they didn’t fit in with the ideas of the
Samael gnostic movements. I stopped in the middle of my bachelor’s degree
program because I was persuaded by gnostic leaders to not ‘damage my intellect.’
I was lucky to be welcomed back to the program by my professors after years of
abandonment. I was lucky to have a lot of support after I left the movements.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Despite this there are clues that Weor’s
dubious movement had discovered, or had access, to some fundamentally ancient,
quasi magical knowledge, the kind of knowledge such groups can use to
manipulate and control society around them and allow them to operate way beyond
the understanding and envisioning of normal people:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“As I understood it, the Astral is this sort
of ‘place’ that is actually inside you, and all your demons live there. It's
where you go when you dream. It's very hard for a beginner to navigate because
you have to learn to ‘see through’ your dreams: the complexes/demons/egos
(whatever you call them) which have a pretty large amount of control over you
in waking life have pretty much total control over you in the astral realm,
hence the typical total inability to control ourselves in dreams and the
instability of the environment and instability of logic in dreams.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">According to the teaching as I understand it,
you are supposed to get more and more conscious in your waking life, then more
and more conscious in your dream life. As all your dreams become lucid, you
will start to ‘see through’ them, in the sense of having greater insight into
what they mean. This gives you a huge edge in battling your egos. In waking
life you are just meditating and trying not to let your desires, etc. get the
best of you. But in the astral (dream) realm, you can actually see your egos at
work weaving the dream picture, and see your egos in personified form
interacting with you in the dreams.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Eventually, as you become an adept at this
work, you see through the egos at work in your dreams so well that your dreams
start to actually stabilize. This is really where the phrase ‘astral realm’
comes into play. The dream world now becomes this sort of other world that you
can explore in a more or less rational fashion. You learn to enter and exit the
astral realm at will, meaning you don't have to be tired and fall asleep per
se, you can just lie down and whisk yourself off whenever you want to.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Although it is ‘internal’, since we are all
connected you can actually meet and work with other adepts in the astral realm.
It really starts to become this other world. You can visit the ‘Great White
Lodge’ (or something like that) where all the best saints working for the
salvation of humanity are hard at work.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">The goal is to destroy the egos to achieve
complete and total consciousness. The whole reason you play around in the
astral realm is to take the fight to them. Apparently it gets perilous as you
start to clear up the astral realm: your demons see the threat and work extra
hard to destroy you. There are all kinds of defensive prayers and mantras and
stuff you are supposed to be prepared with before you start doing this stuff in
earnest.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Some of the guys at the retreat were talking
about being in the astral together. It made me a little envious and wanting to
strive to reach that point. From personal experience I can attest to meditation
and waking awareness exercises contributing to an increase in lucid dreams. So
there is at least something to that part, that much I can say for sure..”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">There seems to be some ambiguity about the Weor’s cult.
Outer members are apparently told to abstain from ejaculation, smoking,
drinking alcohol and indeed, most kinds of physical pleasure. No doubt however
the ‘inner circle’ have a very different experience.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Initially Weor had planned to die and
reincarnate in his own body but a few years before his eventual death he
prepared an Egyptian mummy in which to physically return. The man could have
been an honest lunatic but I suspect the truth is that he, like Crowley, had
manufactured his very own cult with him as the high priest. Such high-office
demands the promise of miracles and Weor was merely playing along with his part,
while no doubt enjoying it immensely. I can only hope that such an impious old
fraud is now enjoying his just rewards for those who waylay and betray other
people’s credulity. Though it has to be said, that without the mass of
simple-minded sheep souls so ready and willing to be waylaid by these predatory
and evilly inclined people, they would not be able to profit quite so well here
on Earth as they seem to do and it does seem to be something of a dance of the
polarities: the timeless partnership of eternal limitless stupidity with
eternal limitless evil.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Without stupidity, evil would not be able to
manifest long on Earth and attain its goals, but the fact that it has done so
for so long is a testimony to the presence of that silent dance-partner, the
dim-witted, brainless victim who always seems to be so plentiful here, like
fields of wheat waiting to be reaped. I don’t want to waste any more time on
this unpleasant charlatan, I will just let his analyses speak for themselves
and move on, but the following passage culminates in a direct Rabbinical-style
reversal of the Biblical injunction from Genesis 2:17 ‘you must not eat from the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ here we will see the ‘Gnostic’ Samael
Aun Weor in the role of a literal Satan:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“And when the woman [sexual organ] saw that
the tree was good for food she took of the fruit of it and did eat.” –
Genesis 3: 6.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">This indicate that hitherto their love had
been angelic and pure, but was now changed into sexual desire first arising in
[their physicality made of bones and flesh] the woman [Malkuth] and leading
them to conjugal relationship, for a woman [Eve, symbol of the sexual organ] is
the inspirer of love whilst man [Adam, symbol of the brain] is the receptacle
of it and in this resembles angelic beings whose actions are determined by pure
love unblended and unmingled with sexual desire.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">“And the serpent was wiser than any animal of
the field which Jehovah Elohim had made.” – Genesis 3: 7 </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">In the moment that Adam and Eve became thus
associated, the lower soul [נפש Nephesh] became excited and aroused
by sexual desire in which it delights, as scripture said: ‘mayest freely eat'
to the prohibition from ejaculating the living manna [semen].</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Thus, in saying, 'Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest freely eat' indicates that Adam is permitted to eat even from the
tree of knowledge, but together with God [Shaddai-El-Chai].” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">Samael Aun Weor was a member of the Fraternitas
Rosicruciana Antiqua (F.R.A.) and apparently learned the ‘Great Arcanum’ or
white ‘sexual magic’. In 1964 he published a book called Cosmic Ships in which
he promulgates the doctrine that alien spaceships from other planets are
present on Earth. He mentions that sometimes these vessels crash or explode in
flight (funny that they travelled all that distance through space only to
arrive here and explode) In the book he states that he doesn’t seek to check
the authenticity of these alien spaceships because for him it is beyond all
doubt. He claims these cosmic vessels were created by the angels, archangels,
and seraphim, all flesh and blood being apparently, including a flesh and blood
angel called Saint Venon from the planet Soort. Saint Vernon’s spaceships are
apparently powered by gravity, but Weor writes that he doesn’t want to tire the
reader with technical details. When humanity arrives at its maturity it will
have the right to access and use these spaceships and we will receive education
from superior humans from space. Some people from Mexico were apparently taken
to Venus and one person from Brazil was taken to Mars and he mentions that we
are on the verge of a cosmic cataclysm but our space brothers will try to help
us. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It is worth noting that a group of Tibetan Lamas possess
several spaceships hidden deep under the Himalayas and the inhabitants from
other planets walk in our towns and cities unnoticed. Mars, Venus and Mercury
are all inhabited by these aliens and Venus has a fantastic civilisation where
there is no money and everyone works only two hours per day and receives
everything they want. Weor reveals that we can all share in this utopia if we
can learn to get rid of our ego, then we will be able to psychically
communicate with these benevolent space-brothers.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;">It all seems like tragic nonsense of course but a lot of
people take this stuff very seriously, but beyond all of the nonsense is
something real. Namely that there are processes which can destroy the
individual sense of self and ‘ego’ which then does indeed lead to the
possibility of telepathic communication with some kind of discarnate beings. We
have seen some examples of these beings and their interactions in the story of
Barbara O’Brien. I suggest this is not something which we ought to encourage
but this seems to be part of the worldwide Rosicrucian agenda, and hopefully by
now we can start to see what the agenda, its aims and the final result might
be. </span></span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 107%;">Stalinism is the Perfection of the
Rabbinical System.</span></span></p>
<span style="mso-bookmark: ORAL;"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Oral Tradition is the claim that
after Moses met God on top of Mount Sinai and received the Ten Commandments and
the dictation of the Torah he also received an oral explanation or analysis of
the Torah from God which Moses did not write down but that which was
transmitted to Joshua, then from Joshua to the Elders, then to the Prophets and
then to the members of the Great Assembly. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Nowhere in the Torah are there any references
to this. Neither Moses nor any of the subsequent Old Testament prophets make
any mention of an Oral Tradition. Indeed, the Bible is more than clear and
prescriptive about adopting any kind of supplementary material:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“See that you do everything I command you; do
not add to it or subtract from it.” Deuteronomy 12:32.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">My belief regarding the Kabbalah is this and
I will simply try to lay out my major thesis in all this:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">How would you go about subverting something,
a religion, system of morality, law and the worship of God: The Torah,
committed to writing some three thousand years ago? You would do this by
claiming some other ‘secret’ revelation which was not included in the original
text.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Kabbalah is not a mystical form of
Judaism, it is a completely new gnostic religion which uses Judaism and
specifically the Torah and the Hebrew alphabet of 22 letters, as its tenuous
scaffolding upon which it creates a completely new imposter religion. The
Zohar, using a literary device of a Rabbinical discussion plays semantic and
gematria games with the words of the Torah in order to completely transform
meaning in-line with the new gnostic theology of the Kabbalah </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Bible is replete with repeated admonition
of Israel and threats of imminent judgement and punishment from God precisely
for rejecting the written law of Moses. For instance, the passage from 2 Kings
17 is typical and almost a trope or cliché of the angry God:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“They devoted themselves to doing evil in the
sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. So the LORD was very angry with
Israel, and he removed them from His presence. Only the tribe of Judah
remained, and even Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their
God, but lived according to the customs Israel had introduced.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Jesus in confronting the Pharisees is
continuing this great prophetic tradition of accusing the
priesthood of forsaking the law and “making void the word of God by your
tradition that you have handed down.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Jesus refers to the ‘oral tradition’ as
‘tradition of the elders’ or the ‘tradition of men’. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In Mark 7 he specifically refers to the Oral Tradition:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him,
‘Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the
elders, but eat with defiled hands?’ And he said to
them, ‘Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">‘This people honours me with their lips,<br />
but their heart is far from me;<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in vain do they worship me,<br />
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">You leave the commandment of God and hold to
the tradition of men.’”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">So what is this oral tradition? The Talmud is
fairly well known for some of its excesses but let us examine the Mishnah which is the proto-Talmud, the
originator and a way-marker on the path to the full development of The Talmud
of the 5<sup>th</sup> Century AD. In fact, to be more accurate, the Talmud is
really two major separate works: The Mishnah, written in the 2<sup>nd</sup>
Century AD as a commentary on the Torah and the Gemara written in the 5th
Century AD as a commentary on the commentary of the Torah and this is what most
people understand as the Talmud as it contains all of the most dubious and
quotable material.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Perkei Avot or Ethics of the Fathers is a
tractate of the Mishnah and outlines the key virtues required but some of the
statements themselves are a little odd and one could well imagine that with
further ‘commentary’ that is, subjected to the legalistic Rabbinical mindset,
one could quite alienate anything good and true altogether and that is
precisely what the Gemara achieves. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Take for instance the following advice from
the Mishnah on the importance of study:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Rabbi <span class="glossaryitem">Yaakov</span> would
say: One who walks along a road and studies, and interrupts his studying to
say, ‘How beautiful is this tree!’, ‘How beautiful is this ploughed field!’---the
Torah considers it as if he had forfeited his life.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">See how profoundly this contrasts with
CS Lewis’ more Christian conception earlier in this work of drawing closer to
God simply by doing something innocent which one enjoys. The Rabbinical idea
that study alone can teach virtue and draw one close to God, and that
expressing joy and sincere pleasure at creation, is somehow contrary to this
and ought to cause one to forfeit one’s life, makes one marvel at what kind of
mind this would create were it to be taken seriously. It seems like the perfect way to alienate the young
from God, making them afraid to rejoice, wonder and marvel at the beauty of the
world. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The God of the Oral Tradition is so far
contrary to the God which is often described in the Old Testament:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Gracious and merciful, slow to anger and
abounding in steadfast love” Psalm. 145:8.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Another strange comment from the Perkei
Avot:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Rabbi Shimon would say: ‘Three who
eat at one table and do not speak words of Torah, it is as if they have eaten
of idolatrous sacrifices; as is stated, ‘Indeed, all tables are filled with
vomit and filth, devoid of the Omnipresent.’"</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">But the original phrase ‘indeed, all tables’
is from Isiah and is a reference to the ‘drunkards of Ephraim’ where Isiah is
discussing what had become of all the lost tribes of Israel and had nothing to
do with enforcing the Torah at the dinner table, but in the strange Rabbinical
mind the original passage has been twisted to fit into a completely new context
which was not the original Biblical intention. This is precisely the kind of
thing Jesus was referring to when he said: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">‘You have a fine way of rejecting the
commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!’</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">So what the Talmud (that is the Mishnah and
the Gemara) does is create a rigid net loosely based on an original Biblical
phrase taken out of context to construct an unreasonable and even contrary
condition. Far from bringing one closer to God it alienates the mind since God
is radically redefined. Notice how the Torah is used by the Mishnah as both the
justification for their oppressive Rabbinical interpretation and the cause:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Anyone who forgets even a
single word of this learning, the Torah considers it as if he had forfeited his
life. Rabbi Dusta'i the son of Rabbi Yannai would say in the
name of Rabbi Meir: ‘Anyone who forgets even a single word of this
learning, the Torah considers it as if he had forfeited his life. As is stated,
‘Just be careful, and verily guard your soul, lest you forget the things that
your eyes have seen (Deuteronomy 4:9).’”</span></p>

obedient, mirthless and joyless people, enslaved by Rabbinical tradition under
spiritual blackmail to tithe their wealth to the Rabbinical authorities are the
kind which please God the most. I have to disagree and such an image conjures
the kind of world of the Soviet or Communist system: grey, mirthless, and
infinitely oppressed under a thousand rules controlling every moment of their
lives. In this sense I would consider Stalinism to be a perfection of the
Rabbinical system.</span></p>

strictures and impositions on the mind might be produced and Jesus </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">was unequivocable in some of his choice epithets for the Pharisees who
with the destruction of the 2<sup>nd</sup> Temple in 70AD would go on to create
Rabbinical Judaism in the power and religious vacuum which the Romans had
created: ‘hypocrites’ ‘children of Satan’ ‘child of Hell’ ‘full of greediness
and wickedness’. </span></p>

and maxims of the Rabbis and sometimes one is alarmed by the mentality
which comes through and sometimes these saying raise a host of questions in
themselves: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Ten miracles were performed for our

is a strange thing indeed and perhaps indicates that very little of the
miraculous, which is usually associated with the presence and activity of God,
occurred during the Rabbinical period. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Something which did occur however, and
is very interesting in itself particular in light of the context of the
ministry and murder of Jesus Christ by the proto-Rabbinical authority: the
Pharisees, was a cessation of the miracle of the white thread. The chief priest
had, apparently since the time of Aaron himself, as mentioned in Leviticus
16:7, traditionally drawn lots with his right hand to choose which of two goats
would be sacrificed as a sin offering for the Lord and which would be released
into the wilderness ritually imbued with the sins of Israel as a ‘scapegoat’.</span></p>

HaTzaddi, the lot for God always arose in the High Priest’s right hand; after
his death, it occurred only occasionally; but during the forty years prior to
the destruction of the Second Temple, the lot for God did not arise in the High
Priest’s right hand at all. So too, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to
the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel did not turn white, and the
westernmost lamp of the candelabrum did not burn continually.” Talmud 39b Seder

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed by the
Romans in AD 70 response to the First Revolt but 40 years prior to this
something monumental apparently transpired which severed God’s favour and led to the apparent rejection of their Temple sacrifices. If we
consider that Jesus was said to have been born sometime between 6-4 BC (this
date coincides with Herod’s murder of the firstborn – though this event is
slowly being written out of history if we look at the latest edits on the
Wikipedia page which attempts to classify them even as a myth), was murdered at 33 years old then we have the approximate year of Jesus’ death at
30AD give or take a couple of years, precisely the time at which the miracles
of the Temple ceased indicating that God no longer favoured them and
rejected their sin sacrifices.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Jesus knew that the Oral Torah had the
precise effect of not only subverting the original Torah but as Jesus says,
actually breaking the commandments and making this the official teaching:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these
least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The trinity of the Kabbalah seems to be
heavily influenced by Greek Gnosticism since it divides God’s presence in
creation into three parts represented by three mother letters, A (Aleph) which
represents Air; M (Mem) which represents Water, and Sh (Shin) which represents
fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as Ain Soph where Soph is a
Greek word for limitation. </span></p>

specifically Pythagorean concept which later became a Gnostic one, and
subsequently informed the Kabbalistic idea of Ain Soph: The Monad.</span></p>

where he used Rabbinical reasoning and a disingenuous appeal to the Torah to
justify himself reframing the issue so that by denying his religion and
becoming a Muslim, he was being righteous and to do the contrary would be
breaking the commandments of the Torah, but in the typically Rabbinical
reasoning by breaking the commandment he was following it:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

violate one of the Torah's commandments at the pain of death, he should
violate the commandment rather than be killed, because [Leviticus 18:5] states
concerning the mitzvot: ‘which a man will perform and live by them.’ [They
were given so that] one may live by them and not die because of them. If a

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It seems that Maimonides
didn’t quite have the courage of the convictions of his rabbi and mentor Yehuda
Ibn Susan who accepted martyrdom or Kiddush Hashem rather than convert to
Islam. Despite Maimonides choosing to quibble himself out of his integrity and
devotion to his faith the precept of Kiddush Hashem or Sanctification of the
Name had become the word for the martyrdom of Jews during the persecution of
emperor Hadrian in the early 2<sup>nd</sup> Century AD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

one day, she can be consecrated through sexual relations with her father's
consent. Should she be below this age, if her father has her consecrated
through sexual relations, the marriage bond is not established.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

codified what was already in the Rabbinical Oral Tradition, that a bonding
marriage can be established by anal intercourse, this is commonly called
‘sodomy’ in the Torah and is expressly forbidden:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“When a person consecrates through
sexual relations, one may assume that his intent is on the conclusion of the
relations; when the relations are concluded, the marriage bond is established.
Regardless of whether the couple engage in vaginal or anal intercourse, the

inscribed for glorious posterity by Maimonides boggle the mind at why such
regulations had to be made in the first place:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“If, by contrast, [a man] consecrates [a
woman] with the dung of an ox condemned to be stoned, the marriage is
binding. Although it is forbidden to derive benefit from an ox condemned to be

of negligible importance when compared to the ox.”</span></p>

questions. Who would an ox need to be stoned to death? Why would someone
consider ‘dung’ to be a fitting inducement to marriage and how common were
these strange ‘dung’ transactions relating to affairs of the heart.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Other strange stipulations, well not
that the stipulations are strange, but that such stipulations had to be made in
the first place, are strange and make one boggle at the moral framework within
which the Jews operated at that time in history:</span></p>

the time of marriage<i> </i>or divorce requiring her to engage in sexual
relations with her father, her brother, her son or the like, it is as if he
made a stipulation that she ascend to the heavens or descend to the depths, and
his condition is of no consequence. For it is not within the woman's capacity
to cause others to transgress and to engage in a forbidden sexual relationship.
Thus, he has made a stipulation that she is incapable of fulfilling. This
complies with regard to all similar instances.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

felt the need to record for posterity, the strange tale of the man who died
from lack of sex, perhaps, who knows in this bizarre moral Twilight Zone we
seem to have entered:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

[love-]sick [to the extent that] he is in danger of dying, [although] the
physicians say he has no remedy except engaging in sexual relations with her, he
should be allowed to die rather than engage in sexual relations with her. [This
applies] even if she is unmarried.”</span></p>

days who prescribed sex. One can well imagine that such a thing must have
happened, that some woman was being emotionally blackmailed by a man who was in
league with a doctor who made a pact to enable him to have his wicked way with
her, under doctor’s orders. </span></p>

sexual current which we will later see fully liberated in the books of the
Kabbalah which is also considered to form part of the Oral Tradition and to
have even been delivered by God to Adam himself. For instance Michael Laitman
in his book explain the Zohar gives the following definition for the Hebrew
term ‘Zivug’ which appears in the Zohar. Zivug means ‘life partner’ and is a
curious term which comes from the Greek ‘zogen’ to join and it is curious how
much Greek lexis and philosophy seems to have entered Jewish mysticism:</span></p>

(ZA—male part) to pass the Light (pleasure) to the lower one (Malchut—female
part). In doing so, both desires are completely selfless, as in the example of
the guest and the host.”</span></p>

presence of God in the Old Testament, and even the famous vision of Jacob’s
ladder to be largely allegorical and not a representation of actual events.
This is to cast aspersions of the integrity of the Bible itself and one can
imagine that the only people who would want to do that did not themselves
believe in the Bible but believed in something else.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"> T<span style="background: white;">he ladder with the angels ascending and descending
seen by Jacob in his vision, was according to Maimonides, only an allegory for
the empires and their subjugation of his descendants. Maimonides states:</span></span></p>

and assume the plurality in their thoughts.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">From the ‘My Jewish Learning’ website:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“That also means that, in Aristotelian terms,
one cannot actually say ‘God is . ..’ and proceed to enumerate God’s
attributes. To describe the Eternal One in such a sentence </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">is to admit of a division between subject and predicate, in other words,

is not corporeal, does not occupy space, experiences neither generation nor
corruption (in the Aristotelian sense of birth, decay, and death.. Maimonides’
conception of the Supreme Being is usually characterized as “negative
theology,” that is, defining by the accumulation of negatives.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">For
a so-called Jewish scholar and father of Rabbinical thought, to say that God
cannot be discussed ‘in terms of positive attributes’ is a fundamental change
in position. Radically different from the Old Testament theology and completely
contrary to what Jesus taught. What benefit is it to teach God as an aloof
force with no positive attributes, relegating right and wrong, good and evil,
morality and immorality, piety and wickedness, to mere frames of reference
unsupported by any larger deistic reality. It can only benefit those who wish
to do evil and get away with it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Even
more strangely, the Zohar takes the imagery of the story of Jacob’s Ladder and
turns it into a mystery pantomime. The ‘Initiation of Rabbi Hiya’ from the
Zohar clearly indicates some kind of ongoing initiatory cult, initiatory cults
have nothing to do with the history of the Israelites and their God who was
always opposed to such activities:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">Then Rabbi Hiya
saw his fellow students standing around the, masters and they wended their way
to the celestial school. Some were ascending and others descending thither, and
at their head was the great winged angel of the presence (Metatron), who was
saying he had heard in the palace on high that the king,</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">visits everyday
and does not forget his lone and loved ones who are struggling towards the
higher life unnoticed and unregarded by the world. At that moment three hundred
and ninety worlds trembled and shook as with an earthquake. Stars as of fire
descended from on high and fell into the great sea, whose ruler then stood up
and swore by him that lives forever, that he would dry up all the waters of
creation if ever the world and its powers should gather themselves against the
children of light to destroy them.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

speaking, Rabbi Hiya heard a voice from heaven exclaiming: ‘Fall back! make
room for the King Messiah coming to the school of Rabbi Simeon, whose students
are all initiates and master teachers of the secret doctrine.’ Then came
Messiah and visited all the celestial schools and confirmed the teachings and
expositions of the mysteries given by their appointed instructors. As he
entered the great assembly crowned with many crowns, all the great masters rose
up and saluted. Turning to Rabbi Simeon, the emanation of whose light reached
up to heaven, Messiah spake and said: "Blessed art thou, Rabbi Simeon, for
thy mystic teachings are of the highest worth and valued and cherished by all.
They only, along with those of Hesekiah, King of Judah, and Achiya, the
Solonite, are marked and sealed with the approval of the holy one. I have come
hither because I know that the angel of the presence visits no other school
save yours."</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">What appears in the Mishah, and this together
with the Gemara is quite different from the Old Testament and seems to inject a
note of moral license and relativity. Such might be the recourse of a band of
rogues who wished to continue their roguish ways despite clear instructions to
the contrary. Moses is not here to testify and God appears unwilling to make a
physical appearance and either countenance or deny this claim, though the last
time he did and spoke through Jesus, things didn’t go well so understandably
God has said his piece and will probably only remain as a curious on-looker to
the tragedy of the human race. So in the absence of denials the Rabbinical
authority seems to be accepted and much of modern Judaism is not in the Torah
or the first five books of the Old Testament which most of us can read and
readily understand and even sometimes accept the validity of some of the
proscriptions made against such things as child sacrifice, commandments against
practising homosexuality and the interdiction of murder, adultery and other
such things which are generally understood to be useful laws for the benefit of
civilised human society.</span></p>

longer accepted by God in the 40 years subsequent to the murder of Jesus and
the destruction of the Second Temple) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the
Sukkah Talmud seems to show how in the subsequent spiritual power-vacuum,
divine authority has become a free-for-all with Rabbis’ vying for spiritual
supremacy and appointing themselves, or being appointed ‘messiah’ level powers:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

Yirmeya said in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai: I am able to absolve the
entire world from judgment for sins committed from the day I was created until
now. The merit that he accrued through his righteousness and the suffering that
he endured atone for the sins of the entire world. And were the merit accrued
by Eliezer, my son, calculated along with my own, we would absolve the world
from judgment for sins committed from the day that the world was created until
now. And were the merit accrued by the righteous king, Jotham ben Uzziah,
calculated with our own, we would absolve the world from judgment for sins
committed from the day that the world was created until its end. The
righteousness of these three serves as a counterbalance to all the evil deeds
committed throughout the generations, and it validates the ongoing existence of
the world.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">But
to finish this strange chapter on some further strangeness, among the </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">‘c</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">lassic texts’ of Jewish law and includes a chapter on how to go to the
toilet. Since we’re here I might as well share those edifying joys with you.
The 16<sup>th</sup> Century Shulchan Aruch, the last ‘great’ codification of
Jewish Law has a chapter entitled Lavatory Conduct:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">One should
also conduct himself modestly when entering a lavatory,<a name="footnoteRef1a3244217"></a><a></a><span style="mso-bookmark: footnoteRef1a3244217;"></span> uncovering himself only to
the extent required and not even a moment before the time required. This should
be done only when he is seated, and only a handbreadth from behind and —
to allow for urination — two handbreadths in front…A woman should uncover
nothing in front, and either a handbreadth or two handbreadths behind
herself…In practice, one should uncover as little as possible.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">If a person relieves himself in an open place that is not
surrounded by partitions, he should face the south with his back to the north,
or vice versa. He should not have his back to the west or to the east, out
of reverence for the Divine Presence, which abides in the west, facing east.
This is why the east is referred to as ‘the front’ and the west, ‘the back,’ as
reflected in the verse, ‘You have hedged me behind and in front.’ The south is
thus called the right, or teiman. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If there is a [private] corner one should
relieve oneself there, provided no one else is present. If, however, there is
another person there, even a non-Jew, it is forbidden to relieve oneself in his
presence — i.e., if he is close enough to be observed, even if his uncovered
body cannot be seen — for it is considered immodest to be observed from nearby.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Where possible, it is preferable to make a point of facing south with
one’s back to the north, and not the opposite, so that one will not be easing
oneself in the direction of Jerusalem and the site of the Beis
HaMikdash. This applies in most of these countries</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"> <span style="background: white;">that are located more to the north of </span>Jerusalem<span style="background: white;"> than to the west, and even more so in those
countries which are located directly to the north of Jerusalem.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">When one urinates while
standing, and many drops of urine will fall on his feet if he does not lift his
organ, he is permitted to raise it by lifting his testicles. If the drops fall
on his feet, he should clean them off immediately with his hands and not walk
among people in this manner. He should not hold the organ itself to raise it,
for ‘he who holds his organ is considered as if he brought a flood upon the
world,’ lest he become aroused and emit seed wastefully. [This stringency
applies] unless he holds the organ from the corona downward, i.e., towards the
ground, for this will not arouse him. Alternatively, he may hold [the organ]
with a thick cloth, for this too will not arouse him.</span><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-SA" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

she is ritually pure, the letter of the law permits him to hold the organ even
above the corona. Since he ‘has a loaf in his basket,’ he will not be
stimulated to improper thoughts or to arousal. Nevertheless, pious behaviour
dictates stringency.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">”</span></p>

thoughts in this chapter are that when a people becomes so totally dominated by
laws and rules in every little aspect of their life, they literally reach such a
point of mental impotence that they need instructions on how to go to the lavatory.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">By the end of the book, Barbara has
rationalised away the existence of the ‘Operators’ as being part of her
unconscious mind which had been brought in as an emergency remedy to help heal
her mind. It is not entirely clear to me at least how the symptoms of mental
illness can form part of its cure and I am not entirely convinced that these Operators
were merely something conjured up by her own mind. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If for instance Barbara can admit that ‘Something’
guided her on the winning numbers for the Las Vegas roulette wheel; how upon
deciding that she needed to find a job, how that same ‘Something’ led her to
the precise street and building where an opportunity had just arisen, and
furthermore, in one passage how one of the ‘Operators’ apparently advised her
before leaving her mountain cabin to take a flashlight with her, it being early
in the day Barbara herself could not understand the logic of the Operator’s
demands but she took a flashlight with her all the same. It was only when she
arrived in town to find that the bus-service she had intended to use to return
to the cabin had been discontinued and that she had a three hour wait for a
different service, by which time when she finally returned home it was not only
dark, but she was apparently being tracked by a mountain lion, which with judicious
application of the flashlight, she managed to scare off. There is no way
Barbara herself could have foreseen any of these events and one is left with
the conclusion that it must be some kind of all-seeing all-knowing force which
exists beyond the human realm.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The great striking point here which splits
and sends people to man their trenches and rally to their standards and fight
with all their might is whatever they would give in answer to the ultimate
question: Does God exist? Those who answer no, consider belief in God
unscientific and wishful thinking; the belief in spirits and demons as delusion
and superstition, and possibly consider those that do as intellectually
challenged. For them, schizophrenia is solely a disease of the individual’s own
mind and the delusions and the cast of voices show the astonishing power of the
human brain.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Those that do however, see God as being
present in the elements and experiences of life which science cannot answer.
They consider spirits and demons as a possibility; the human body is only a
vessel which the spirit temporarily occupies so could it not be that since
consciousness continues after death in the spirit then it must logically follow,
that spirits can exist independent of a physical form, without human bodies, or
physical bodies at all. All religion and folk traditions have some commentary
to make on the existence of these discarnate beings, and according to many of
the descriptions of these creatures in many of the ancient holy books of the
world’s religions the creatures which alternately persecuted and apparently
aided Barbara, seem like a combination of the angels, demons and Djinns of the
ancient faiths.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">A very peculiar comment is made by the
Operators about God which evokes something almost Biblical about the fall of
man and the fallen state of the world:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Operators, very early in the history of
civilization, had surrounded the earth with an airfield of steel rays so
powerful that even God couldn’t get through.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">An airfield of steel-rays is clearly just a
metaphor for some other form of power and it reminds me of the work of CS Lewis
whose remarkable science fiction trilogy, ending with That Hideous Strength,
evokes this idea, less that God is banished from Earth but more that an evil
principle known as Oyarsa: the bent one, has taken ownership of Earth, leading
to a kind of spiritual quarantine of our planet by the spiritual forces of the
solar system. The condition of this quarantine is that Earth’s Oyarsa cannot
travel beyond the Moon’s orbit but nor are the other spiritual powers or
Oyeresu allowed to come to Earth to intervene. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Another thing which makes me wonder whether
the Operators might be a real phenomenon and that Barbara wasn’t hallucinating
their existence but that due to the adrenochrome toxin in her blood, was able
to perceive things which our consciousnesses usually filters out of our reality
as being perhaps too strange and disturbing, is one of the dangers of being
targeted by malicious Operators.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“At least, buy some nails and a hammer nail
down the windows. Because that’s the way you’re going to go. Wait until you
have twenty Operators from the council in here, working on your mind, telling
you to jump. Believe me, you’ll jump. So far as the council is concerned,
you’re a monstrosity and a source of danger, something that has to be put out
of the way.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">When one notices the same trends in different
people’s experiences then one has to assume there might be some commonality at
the root of those experiences. It is very common for those suffering from
schizophrenia and hearing voices, to be driven to suicide by those voices. If
these voices were part of our own subconscious mind, then why would it have any
desire or interest in killing itself? It makes no sense, considering the
natural imperative for survival which is supposedly one of the strongest
instincts in man. This seems to go against nature and it would seem to make
sense that only a maliciously inclined outside force which takes pleasure in
human misfortunes would have any desire to drive a person to suicide.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In the book The Siren Call of the Hungry
Ghosts, which deserves a full investigation all of its own and Youtuber ‘Zap
Oracle’ has actually published an excellent two hour video which explains
anything I could go into here; suffice it to say that it is an investigation
into the world of channelling, ghosts and mediums which Joe Fisher, who at 22
set a record as England’s youngest ever editor in chief at the Staffordshire
Advertiser and later went on to become one of Canada’s leading investigative
reporters, becomes personally embroiled in discovering whether there is any
truth to the existence of ghosts and spirits. His last words to his editor-in-chief
at Paraview Books Patrick Huyghe shortly before he threw himself to his death
from a limestone gorge at Elora Gorge in Ontario Canada, were that the spirits
were still after him for having written his last book which was The Siren Call
of Hungry Ghosts.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">My fundamental question here is do these
ghosts, demons, spirits, djinns actually exist in some real spirit form which
can interact with the human world to a limited extent and are there certain
people in certain circumstances who find themselves in full contact with these
beings?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If the answer is yes then it forces us to
reconsider a great deal about what we think we know about the nature of
humanity, its origins, the problems we face and in truth, it answers a lot of
questions I think we all have and many of the mysteries which have plagued us
for millennia can be solved by incorporating this shadowy world as a
fundamental causative agent over much of the history of human activity. Perhaps
even, a causative agent over some of our very thoughts.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Cross-referencing the ‘Operators’ of this
book with the demons from CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters and Evelyn Waugh’s The
Ordeal of Gilbert Penfold convinces me that there is some objective reality to
these ghostly Operators since the same characters using the same kind of
programme can be discovered in other people’s experiences. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Screwtape Letters is a series of
correspondences between a junior devil or ‘tempter’ Wormwood, and his ‘uncle’
Screwtape, where uncle Screwtape advises his nephew on how best to lead the
human, described as ‘the patient’ he is tempting astray from God and the road
to salvation and towards a petty-minded self-concerned cynical intellectual materialism,
which CS Lewis satirically alludes suits the devil so well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It’s not necessary for the temptee to do
anything particularly evil to find himself drawn into the devil’s party, merely
when the thought of eternity, heaven and salvation may come in the way, be
distracted into forgetting all about them by thoughts of lunch, or the passage
of the number five bus and the front page of the newspaper.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">As Screwtape later says:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The safest road to hell is the gradual
one-the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, milestones,
without signposts.” Conversely the road to heaven and the glimpse of the
transcendental can be achieved in the most mundane of actions as Screwtape
admonishes Wormwood and accuses him of allowing the patient to slip through his
fingers when he allows him to read a book he really enjoyed, then compounded
this by letting the man walk down to the old mill (a walk through country he
really likes) and have tea there, alone. By allowing the patient two real
pleasures his soul edges closer to God and out of the grip of hell.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Screwtape wants to eradicate any pleasure
that is not actually a sin, such as a fondness for country cricket or
collecting stamps or drinking cocoa because “there is a sort of innocence and
humility and self-forgetfulness about them”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">CS Lewis’ demonic tempters bear a similarity
to the Operators except that they have not revealed themselves to the ‘patient’
but exist, just as the Operators were said to exist to normal people, as a
voice which most people assume to be the voice of their own thoughts and ideas.
It is only at the end of the book when the ‘patient’ is killed during the war
by a falling bomb that he finally glimpses these spirits which have guided him
through life for better or worse:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“There was a sudden clearing of the eyes and
he saw you for the first time, and recognised the part you had had in him and
knew that you had it no longer. Just think (and let it be the beginning of your
agony) what he felt at that moment; as if a scab had fallen from an old sore…”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">For Lewis, death is where we glimpse these
opposing factions continuously trying to direct and gently nudge the soul
either to heaven or hell and the patient, finally breaking free from Wormwood
and seeing his part in influencing his thoughts while alive, it is as if “he
shuffled off for good and all, a defiled, wet clinging garment.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">From Lewis’ vision and the classical
orthodoxy of demonic beings it is generally understood that they exist apart
from the kingdom of God and are antagonistic to both it, and mankind which is
an emanation of this kingdom since it is also generally considered within all
of the literature of the world’s religions and metaphysics, that man has some
divine spark, some small portion of the creator within himself. I always find
this passage intensely moving and Lewis’ astonishing description of what might
happen at the moment of death and passing to the next life seems itself to be
so radiantly full of light and understanding that I am humbled by his eloquence
and the beauty of his vision:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“As he saw you, he also saw Them. I know how
it was. You reeled back dizzy and blinded, more hurt by them than he had ever
been by bombs. The degradation of it!—that this thing of earth and slime could
stand upright and converse with spirits before whom you, a spirit, could only
cower. Perhaps you had hoped that the awe and strangeness of it would dash his
joy. But that is the cursed thing; the gods are strange to mortal eyes, and yet
they are not strange. He had no faintest conception till that very hour of how
they would look, and even doubted their existence. But when he saw them, he
knew that he had always known them and realised what part each one of them had
played at many an hour in his life when he had supposed himself alone, so that
now he could say to them, one by one, not ‘Who are you?’ but ‘So it
was you all the time’. All that they were and said at this
meeting woke memories. The dim consciousness of friends about him which had
haunted his solitudes from infancy was now at last explained; that central
music in every pure experience which had always just evaded memory was now at
last recovered.”</span></p>

<span style="mso-bookmark: HELLO;"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It was the recommendation of an extraordinary
book called Operators and Things which started me on the path of putting this
work together. A strangely unrevelatory title at first glance which one might
think was some kind of glossary of telephone switchboard terminology but it was
anything but mundane. It is one of those books which reading forces you to
reconsider your whole perception of reality itself and the events of the story,
which are in fact autobiographical and the kind of story that you could
probably only make-up after a 3 day LSD and magic-marker bender at Disneyland.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The book was written by Barbara O’Brien, a
lady who apparently developed schizophrenia in the 1950’s as a result of a long
and stressful period at work during which she was forced to observe the
behaviour of various psychopathic personality types using underhanded means to
displace good people from their jobs, and step into shoes they were wholly
unfit and unable to fill. She then observes how the psychopaths turn on each
other and even manage to undermine the whole foundation of the company with
their self-serving pursuit of power and their employment of malicious lies and
deceptions to reach their power goals. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The author at her place of work seems to
be one of the few people to notice these nefarious shenanigans and she, knowing
the true nature of some of the people around her starts to live every moment in
fear of them, what they can do, what they represent and perhaps how utterly
unsuspecting and defenceless the company and other employees are when it comes
up against such malign intelligence. But this is not a story about psychopaths,
it is a story about a schizophrenic, and one morning after the mounting fear
and terror of the psychopaths at work comes to some kind of head, Barbara
awakes to find three ghostly forms at her bedside telling her that she is now
part of a special secret experiment. The nature of the experiment is to reveal
the secret ‘world of the Operators’ to one of the ‘Things’ and to see what
happens.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">A ‘Thing’ is the operator’s term for a human
being and the Operators themselves are an organized non corporeal collective
intelligence which apparently ‘buy’ operating rights or charters for human
beings, and then they control them by directly dictating their thoughts and
supposedly guide them through life. The aim of this is apparently to feed
themselves as they seem to gain energy by causing reactions and emotional
feelings in the ‘Things’ or humans they control and possibly they benefit human
development in general, indeed one of the discarnate voices of the Operators
speaking to Barbara makes the claim:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“If it weren’t for Operators, Things would
still be wandering in and out of caves.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">A similar line of thought appears referenced
in a Masonic compendium book from 1847 entitled The Golden Remains of Early
Masonic Writers compiled by George Oliver:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“In the history of man, there is nothing more
remarkable than that Masonry and civilisation, like twin sisters, have gone
hand in hand. The Orders of Architecture mark their growth and progress. Dark,
dreary, and comfortless were those days when Masonry had not laid her line, or
extended her compass. The race of mankind, in full possession of wild and
savage liberty, mutually afraid of, and offending each other, hid themselves in
thickets of the wood, or in dens and caverns of the earth. In those poor
recesses and gloomy solitudes, Masonry found them, and the Grand Geometrician
of the Universe, pitying their forlorn situation, instructed them to build
houses for their case, defence, and comfort. It is easy to conceive that in the
early state of society, genius had expanded but little. The first efforts were
small, and the structure simple and rude; no more than a number of trees
leaning together at the top, in the form of a cone, interwoven with twigs, and
plastered with mud to exclude the air and complete the work." </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">For much of the story this is what Barbara
believes and is told, and she is repeatedly told that a rival gang of Operators
are trying to drain her energy, or otherwise involve her in detailed and
ultimately pointless delusions about her own imminent death; or that her life
is under threat by members of the Operators guild who are apparently not happy
that she has been made aware of the existence of the Operators and that the
information she has learned could endanger all their operations. This leads her
to travel apparently pointlessly across the country, while some kind of
convoluted astral legal drama plays out in the background, with the voices
telling her of court hearings, legal writs being sought on her behalf and
various motions filed in order to protect her while her mind remains in the
realm of the Operators. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">She travels the country on Greyhound buses
which are apparently full of ‘Flies’ or Operators who do not belong to the
committee and apparently spend their time playing a game where the winner is
the one who can put a thought into the head of the person and elicit the
strongest emotional reaction. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">At one point she rents a cabin in the
mountains thinking it will put her out of reach of the Operators who have told
her they are actually humans who were born with psychic ability who can project
their consciousness into the minds of others, and that they have a limited
field of operation, and that travelling beyond that range would leave them
powerless to act. So she finds herself a cabin in the mountains but finds that
the voices have followed her there, but when she spots other cabins nearby she
rationalizes that they must also have rented out one of the cabins in order to
maintain psychic contact with her. She falls ill with various maladies as one
might expect in her nervous and distressed condition and ends up finally seeing
an analyst in California where miraculously the voices finally disappear.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">One thing that is eye-opening about the book
is how after reading about the inner world of the schizophrenic, the term
‘hearing voices’ which we have always been told is the classic symptom of
schizo-affective disorder doesn’t fully explain how convincing in their way the
delusions can be. It is not merely hearing voices, but it is the insinuation
and the ‘reasoned’ if that is the correct word to use here, acquiescence to the
‘logic’ of the voices. They are telling you things no-one else knows, but they
are real, they are trying to help you; the Greyhound bus-driver secretly works
as an Operator cop which means he has the power to protect a Thing from other Operators
as long as the owner Operator of the ‘Thing’ posts their charter with him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">And as Barbara says herself:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“It forces me to live in a double world. It’s
like having a magic mirror through which I’m observing what’s happening on the
moon while I’m going about the business of living on the earth.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">One of the strange things about
schizophrenics is that they are extremely sensitive to human emotions: at the
beginning of part one Barbara tells the reader how she ‘read’ psychoanalyst, Dr
Donner, “Uneasiness hung around the room like a thick mist. He’s walking up and
down, I thought, spraying worry around. The room is filled with worry.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Throughout the interview with her analyst she
seems perfectly able, despite her apparent mental illness, to be fully able to
read the emotions and even the thoughts of her analyst whom it seems has
personal moral scruples about referring his patient Barbara to the hospital for
shock treatment, and the personal wrestling with his own feelings on the matter
conflicting with the then perceived medical wisdom of the efficacy of shock
therapy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In this first chapter Barbara is able to perceive
that something is troubling the analysist and she writes that she ‘leaned
forwards to study his face’ however this action was not entirely her own as we
are then told that one of the Operators, Hinton, was apparently studying the
analyst through her eyes. Hinton, as a classic ‘voice in her head’ then gives
her instructions on what she should say to best get out of being forced to
undergo shock treatment. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This theme of the schizophrenic seeming to be
extra-sensitive to emotions and people’s thoughts is something which is later
revealed to even more interesting and thought-provoking degrees as it is
suggested that the schizophrenic, through whatever new sub-conscious faculties
are brought to light as a result of their illness, apparently develop the
ability to read people’s deepest thoughts and motivations. Barbara states:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Many psychiatrists had noted, among the
patients who did talk, an odd ability to throw the doctor off balance by a feat
which might have been called mind reading except that the psychiatrists
described it as ‘the schizophrenics uncanny sensitivity to unverbalized and
only partially conscious feelings in the psychiatrist.’” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Barbara’s belief is that some innate power of
the unconscious mind which she calls ‘Something’ and this faculty, which during
the early phases of her recovery from schizophrenia, performs astounding feats
which defy reason and logic. One time the ‘Something’ urges her to go to Las Vegas;
she only has five dollars but the ‘Something’ urges her to go to a specific
roulette wheel and then that ‘Something’ tells her which numbers to put her
money on:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Something kept me rooted at one wheel and
Something urged me violently to play a certain number at a certain time. I
played a dollar chip and won. I waited, rooted, got another strong urge,
played, won again. I played six times, won six times, and found myself with a
purse full of money. Something stopped giving me numbers. I stopped playing and
came home.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Another time the Something helped her to find
a job, specifically directing her to be in the right place at the right time:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“As my money was running low, I decided that
I would try to find a job whose chores were not too demanding. As I started
out, Something urged me to walk in the opposite direction from the bus line,
toward a large building a few blocks away. Something urged me so violently to
enter the building that it would have been impossible, almost, not to have gone
in. I went to the building’s personnel department and found the employment
manager not at all surprised to see me. She had phoned an agency that morning
for a receptionist. She hired me.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">According to Barbara, the ‘mind reading’
ability which some psychiatrists have apparently observed in schizophrenics is
part of the Something of the unconscious mind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Something can extend into the unconscious
minds of others. Nevertheless, it was nice to know that other schizophrenics
had demonstrated a similar talent. It made the business more normal, at least
for us schizophrenics. Anyway, it wasn’t witchcraft.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This is something for which I have long
sought an explanation as during my travels around the world and the continued
attempts to recruit me into what, for convenience’ sake I will call ‘the
Illuminati’ despite that name evoking an automatic response of derision. The
people I had contact with were Freemasons, but to say they attempted to recruit
me into Freemasonry seems to fall short of the truth, since these people were
of an elite branch of Freemasonry, it might therefore be more accurate to
describe them as Illuminated Freemasonry. My personal conception of what these
people represent is something I would call ‘The Family’ since there seems to be
a genetic component connecting all of these people and this is what has been
generally referred to by such researchers as Fritz Springmeier as The
Illuminati Bloodline. </span></p>

He was voted in by a popular mandate as the country's Prime Minister....he still holds that electoral mandate yet his own party has finagled to oust him from power on trumped up charges and now ended his career. This is very odd. If you want to talk about a conspiracy then surely there is one here..... Like I said, I believe he was ousted for ending the Covid lockdowns and deciding to 'live with Covid'.<br /><br />I do not believe this was what the elite had in mind, I believe they intended the lockdowns, the limitation of freedom of movement and the track and trace bullshit, to continue indefinitely....<br /><br />Also if you recall, initially Johnson's policy of dealing with the threat of Covid was to do what the Swedish did, largely ignore it and wait for the population to build up 'herd immunity'.... however no doubt advisors from the WHO forced him to change his mind.<br /><br />You don't have to like Boris Johnson, but you do have to accept that he was elected with a large majority and many people in the UK, who are not brainwashed lefties, actually like him and don't have a problem with his leadership. He was popular among the Conservative electorate.. What has happened to Johnson is hugely anti-democratic and sets a disturbing UK trend that it doesn't matter what the people vote for, the establishment and media will decide who rules you.<br /><br />If you observe the world you will find these coups against (nominally) right-wing populist leaders, happening everywhere.... particularly in Pakistan, Brazil, America, Italy where popularly elected presidents and Prime Ministers are summarily deposed by either obvious electoral fraud of by parliamentarians and other parties joining forces to remove power from these people.... Trump, Johnson, Jair Bolsonaro, Imran Khan...Matteo Salvini in Italy and of course the former democratically leader of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych who was ousted in a George Soros backed coup in 2014.<br /><br />These people are then always replaced by Globalist technocrats...every single time, whether in Italy, Brazi, USA....people who will either blindly dance to the NWO tune or else are so corrupt or befuddled that they are puppets incapable of deciding their own policy such as Joe Biden....<br /><br />It seems now that even if you vote for the populist candidate and he wins by a large majority, the machinery of the state will ensure that unless they follow the globalist agenda they will be removed from power and potentially disgraced and even threatened with imprisonment which is what is now happening to Donald Trump, Jair Bolsanaro and Imran Khan.. and no one in the media is suggesting that there might be something wrong here, for the most part they are cheering on these political persecutions of democratically elected leaders and the left-wing media in particular are rejoicing over the prospect of former prime ministers and leaders being given prison terms for nothing more than being a victim of a coup.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> It's bizarre how blind people have become in these times... and those who do see what has happened are marginalised and called 'Far Right conspiracy theorists... and in some cases, they themselves are imprisoned... while the shit eating libtards clap along and approve of people being imprisoned merely for speaking the truth, or even for speaking at all...and these people of course have the weight of the institutions and the media on their side, so they feel secure to be a Liberal fascists....<br /><br />This is how fascism really works.... it's weak people who need the institutions, the media and the corporations on their side, they alone are mere reeds ready to move with the breeze, but when all these weak stupid people are fastened together along with the Guardian, the BBC, the Labour party, and the whole apparatus of the establishment, they finally feel confident enough to persecute and dictate reality to other people, all the while of course, believing that they are the good guys...because the power of self delusion among weak fretful people who are suddenly empowered and feel justified by a corrupt degenerate social climate, is infinite.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So now the establishment has fed the British people the body of Boris Johnson. The media will now be pacified for the moment and the illusion that this is all part of some kind of democratic process will be propagated.<br /><br />Meanwhile the country has an unelected billionaire prime Minister who is connected to Goldman Sachs, who has no ethnic identification with the historic British people and their values, and has repeatedly uttered anti-white statements and for the first time, the members of the Conservative party were totally denied any vote on his election....<br /><br />This is what happens when Democracy breaks down, this is corporate fascism when exotic technocratic bankers are brought in to rule over you This is what usually happens to failing states....a banker technocrat is put into place to try to salvage what they can from the mess for their banking pals.<br /><br />But as long as the British people get to see a head on the end of a pole in their newspaper and experience their two minutes of hate for a decadent enemy of the people who dared to have a birthday party, then they somehow think they're winning something....<br /><br /> <br /><br />Stalin himself couldn't have done a better job..</span></p>Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-61869126499662471522023-05-28T19:33:00.004+04:002023-05-28T19:38:23.362+04:00Hypnotised by UFO's: The Story of Betty and Barney Hill.<p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCcPI0bmZRRVozBLPrswCvpuPPvDMcX76Zext8t729ZCHWIU9aoNpg3J1SmIHRuyKeZMINRjPHqOK-559oYvxmdFJjzImgSNTz3L7OIckY8yI-G3Nk8XMS0ZE3yL9oZ1xU3iA7qd3KhGPDxhtUY9HtlvHSrUWZ1atNGMaZGpTPG9ct7hvr9spiKxhZ/s1950/81otuiT8jEL.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1950" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCcPI0bmZRRVozBLPrswCvpuPPvDMcX76Zext8t729ZCHWIU9aoNpg3J1SmIHRuyKeZMINRjPHqOK-559oYvxmdFJjzImgSNTz3L7OIckY8yI-G3Nk8XMS0ZE3yL9oZ1xU3iA7qd3KhGPDxhtUY9HtlvHSrUWZ1atNGMaZGpTPG9ct7hvr9spiKxhZ/w504-h350/81otuiT8jEL.jpg" width="504" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span><br /><br />Electromagnetic Brainwashing and Inducing Hypnotic States.<br /><br /></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;">A
strange element of the UFO phenomena is the articulation of some kind
of remote hypnosis. The example of Betty and Barney Hill represents the
pattern of many subsequent reports. Something in the saucer communicated
with him psychically and instructed him to ‘keep looking’. The
following is from the now defunct National Investigations Committee on
Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) a non-governmental group formed to respond to
the surging tide of UFO sightings at the time:<br /><br />“As he watched the
leader through the binoculars, the leader’s large eyes burned
hypnotically into his mind and a ‘voice’ within instructed him to keep
coming closer, keep the binoculars to his eyes, and no harm would come
to him. The witness said his hands seemed frozen to the binoculars, and
he couldn’t put them down. He kept walking toward the craft while the
mind-voice directed him to ‘just keep looking’ and reassured him that no
harm would come to him.”<br /><br />Hill said that the occupants of the
saucer wore shiny black uniforms with a black peaked caps along with a
possible allusion to Nazis:<br /><br />“The figures reminded the observer of
the cold precision of German officers; they moved smoothly and
efficiently and showed no emotion except for one fellow operating a
lever who, Mr Hill claimed, looked over his shoulder and smiled."<br /><br />Could
this saucer have been under the control of former Nazi officers for
some reason still following their military regimen and training? This
would certainly accord with Mauri’s account along with the documented
proofs of German Nazi saucer development during the war.<br /><br />Initially,
according to the report, Barney Hill encountered a mental block at this
point and it was only under hypnosis that much of what subsequently
happened could be recalled. This later involved an actual abduction of
both him and his wife into the saucer, after the car they were driving
was hit with a strange kind of beam of energy. Interestingly Dr Simon,
the hypnotherapist who interviewed them, had his own conclusions about
the nature of the craft and entertained the possibility, as do I, that
it was a: “classified type rather than an extra-terrestrial aircraft".<br /><br />Barney’s
description under hypnosis; his experience of one the craft’s
occupants: the possible leader, seeming to enter his mind and since he
seemed able to project words into his brain it is possible that the
leader was either, as many believe, an extra-terrestrial with uncanny
non-human psychic abilities, or that he was a human being just like us,
but one who as we have seen previously, had learned various occult
psychic abilities generally held to be the domain of the occult and
secret societies:<br /><br />"Oh, those eyes. They're there in my brain…I
was told to close my eyes because I saw two eyes coming close to mine,
and I felt like the eyes had pushed into my eyes...All I see are these
eyes…. I'm not even afraid that they're not connected to a body. They're
just there. They're just up close to me, pressing against my eyes."<br /><br />For
the sake of reference, the presence of disembodied eyes is something
which has been featured in victim narratives of satanic occult ritual
abuse including sketches of eyes appearing in darkness and also of
course the reference to the ‘all seeing eye’ in Freemasonry is well
known, additionally schizophrenics report hallucinations of disembodied
eyes.<br /><br />They drove off at high speed, and were followed by the UFO hovering above their car:<br /><br />“..
Almost immediately, the Hills heard a rhythmic series of beeping or
buzzing sounds, which they said seemed to bounce off the trunk of their
vehicle. The car vibrated and a tingling sensation passed through the
Hills' bodies. The Hills said that then they experienced the onset of an
altered state of consciousness that left their minds dulled. A second
series of beeping or buzzing sounds returned the couple to full
consciousness. They found that they had traveled nearly 35 miles (56 km)
south, but had only vague, spotty memories of this section of road.
They recalled making a sudden, sharp unplanned turn, encountering a
roadblock, and observing a fiery orb in the road.”<br /><br />In the midst
of all this we must again return to our friend Evelyn Waugh in his
alter-ego as Gilbert Pinfold. His book was published in 1957 and was
based on his experiences some three years prior. Part of Pinfold’s
delusions about the existence of what the Russians termed psychotronic
weapons were fed by one of their neighbours ‘a bee keeping old bachelor’
called Reginald Graves Upton. They had nicknamed him ‘the bruiser’
‘basher’ and ‘old fisticuffs’ as a sobriquet derived from ‘boxer’ since
he was in possession of ‘a box’, and according to Waugh/Pinfold, such a
box was similar to one of the many boxes apparently being used in the
country at that time.<br /><br />“According to the Bruiser and other
devotees The Box exercised diagnostic and therapeutic powers. Some part
of a sick man or animal—a hair, a drop of blood preferably—was brought
to The Box, whose guardian would then ‘tune in’ to the ‘life-waves’ of
the patient, discern the origin of the malady and prescribe treatment.”<br /><br />Pinfold
himself was sceptical and considers the thing to be some kind of
sorcery and fears that his wife is harvesting his hairs for use with the
box in order to cure him of his many ailments. Later, when Pinfold is
at sea and in the midst of his inadvertent drug-intoxication, and as
moved on from the delusion that it is some kind of war-time apparatus
which is enabling the transmission of voices around the ship, and that
it is some form of ‘wireless technology’ as suggested by Margaret, he
uses the recollection of ‘the box’ along with his fraught experience
with BBC engineers and an interviewer at his home to construct the
edifice of his delusion:<br /><br />“You might inquire. These B.B.C. people
have made themselves a great nuisance to me on board. They have got a
lot of apparatus with them, most of it new and experimental. They have
something which is really a glorified form of Reggie Upton’s Box. I
shall never laugh at the poor Bruiser again. There is a great deal in
it. More in fact than he imagines. Angel’s Box is able to speak and to
hear. In fact I spend most of my days and nights carrying on
conversations with people I never see. They are trying to psycho-analyze
me. I know this sounds absurd.”<br /><br />“The Germans at the end of the
war were developing this Box for the examination of prisoners. The
Russians have perfected it. They don’t need any of the old physical
means of persuasion. They can see into the minds of the most obdurate.
The Existentialists in Paris first started using it for psycho-analyzing
people who would not voluntarily submit to treatment. They first break
the patient’s nerve by acting all sorts of violent scenes which he
thinks are really happening. They confuse him until he doesn’t
distinguish between natural sounds and those they induce. They make all
kinds of preposterous accusations against him. Then when they get him in
a receptive mood they start on their psycho-analysis.”<br /><br />The
problem with delusions, particularly the one experienced by Evelyn
Waugh, is that many elements of the scaffolding which support the
delusion are actually well constructed and broadly based on things
previously known or experienced. There can’t have been many people in
the mid 1950’s who knew about the Soviet psychotronic weapons
development programme and it is by no means common knowledge now and it
may be somewhat due to the fact that Captain Evelyn Waugh had been an
intelligence officer of the Special Service Brigade which went on to
become the British Commandos. Waugh was even seconded to Randolph
Churchill to infiltrate into Yugoslavia and support Marshall Tito and
the partisans’ resistance but their plane crashed and they had to make
their way back to Italy. So, it is clear that Waugh was very much an
insider and not only part of the establishment but one of key men,
albeit a not particularly successful one judging by his war record.<br /><br />In
general, the only people who seem to be informed about the development
and existence of psychotronic weapons are those with an academic
interest and/or some personal experience, like mine; those who may have
been part of some insider-track and heard such knowledge on some
military grapevine and also those, like Pinfold, who find themselves
experiencing psychotic symptoms and seek a way to rationalise the
experience without accepting that they may be losing their mind. This is
very common from conversations with people who experience psychosis but
seek to create an ongoing delusion that they are under attack from such
weapons. That is not to say such weapons do not exist, but they are
incapable of the wide range of experiences which they have been reported
to elicit, whereas schizophrenia has a long and documented history
throughout the ages and is more than capable of accounting for all of
the symptoms reported by those claiming to be under attack by
psychotronic weapons.<br /><br />It is after receiving the message from
Pinfold that he is a victim of some kind of technological psychic
harassment that his wife instantly and correctly understands that he has
become psychotic and he receives a curt telegram from her imploring him
to return home immediately.<br /><br />When first reading the Ordeal of
Gilbert Pinfold I had assumed that ‘the box’ was entirely a fanciful
invention of Waugh’s or something which might have, at the limit, been
used by a select and elect quasi occult minded group of the idly
wealthy, it seems however that with a little investigation which this
book had incited me to do and with the discovery of the work of Robert
Beck, in particular his interviews with legendary radio host Bill
Jenkins and his proto-parapsychology radio show of the 80’s for Los
Angeles’ KABC radio, that there was indeed, an extensive interest
throughout England and Europe in a period throughout much of the 20th
Century, though fading by the time of the late 1950’s in what might be
called the science of Radionics.<br /><br />The technology Waugh is
referring to is Radionics, developed by Albert Abrams and involved the
application of electromagnetic energy to the body. He and his technology
have since been discredited and relegated to ‘quack-science’ though I
suspect this probably coincides with the US and Russian military’s
development of secret mind-control technology using similar principles.<br /><br />Reports
indicate that American soldiers captured during the Korean war were
subjected to a peculiar type of brainwashing with the use of a small
electronic box. A 1984 BBC documentary ‘Opening Pandora’s Box’ explains
the operation of a Soviet psychotronic device called Lida which was
developed in the 1940’s. Ostensibly it was designed to treat Soviet
psychiatric patients by projecting a beam of sound, light and a 40 MHz
radio signal at pulse-rates of specific brain-wave frequencies to induce
certain states of consciousness to relax and put them to sleep without
physical contact, but it seems that it could also be used as a kind of
truth drug by inducing a kind of hypnotic trance-state.<br /><br />The CIA
acquired one of these boxes from the Russians using a Canadian front
company and it was used, presumably for therapeutic purposes, at Pettis
Memorial Veterans Hospital where it was operated by Dr Ross Adey.<br /><br />While
the machine was being tested, a member of the staff was alarmed and
asked where he had got the North Korean brain washing machine. He
explained that it was the same device which had been used on POW’s and
recounted how they had used it on him while asking him a series of
questions and how the device had made him enter a dreamy trance
like-state during which he had had no control over the answers he gave.<br /><br />In
the 1960’s Dr Adey worked on the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency’s (DARPA) Pandora project which was a response to the discovery
that the Russians had developed psychotronic technology after
investigating the development of psychological symptoms of staff working
at the American embassies in Moscow and Cuba. It was discovered that
the Soviets had been bombarding the embassy with microwaves, which had
been dubbed ‘the Moscow signal’.<br /><br />The Los Angeles based talk radio
show Open Minds featured a series of interviews with Dr Robert Beck who
went into fascinating detail concerning the possibilities of using
bio-feedback machines and focussed electromagnetic energy and magnetic
fields to induce particular states of being in a targeted person or
persons. If a signal of a particular brainwave frequency is directed at a
target, then that person’s brainwave will modulate that frequency to
create a change in state.<br /><br />The version of what could be said to be
a more advanced and scientific version of the quasi-quakery of Radionic
black magic boxes, was developed in 1965 by Dr Joseph Kamiya of the
University of Chicago who monitored brainwaves using an
electroencephalograph and used encouragement and reward to induce
specific brainwave states ranging from Alpha waves, the ‘meditative’
state of consciousness, Beta waves, the brainwaves of normal human
operation and Theta waves, the brainwaves associated with extra-sensory
perception and the subliminal state of consciousness at the border
between waking and sleeping.<br /><br />Dr Beck stated that this technology
was already being applied in the commercial sector at the time of the
broadcast and says that a certain fast-food restaurant chain was using
magnetic-fields to induce states of mild anxiety and a ‘fight or flight’
response to encourage people to eat more quickly and therefore make
them clear their table more quickly thus making room for more customers.
He also stated that the military had expressed a strong interest in
developing this technology and that it might be used to incapacitate
terrorists and rescue hostages, but Dr Beck also expressed reservations
and concerns that the government might also seek to use this technology
for mass crowd control.<br /><br />Jose Delgado is perhaps best remembered
now as the man who made a spectacle of the practical application of
mind-control technology by implanting a bull with an electrical receiver
and pressing a button stopping the bull at full charge, but Dr Beck
claimed that his researches at New Mexico had reached the point where he
could do the same thing remotely without the need for implanted
electrodes. <br /><br />In the early 1950’s at the Hospital for Mental
Diseases in Howard, Rhode Island, Delgado had something of a free hand
to engage in invasive brain surgeries and fitting electrodes to the
brains of patients suffering from a variety of mental and psychological
impairments. It is such horror stories which sometimes form the material
for our Hollywood entertainment: for instance the movie Shutter Island
dramatizes several different aspects of invasive research on defenceless
patients as well as alluding to Project Paperclip.<br /><br />In his book
Physical Control of the Mind: Toward a Psychocivilised Society, Delgado
alludes to results obtained with surgical interventions of the brain and
the use of electrodes and radio signals to inhibit human thinking;
inhibit speech and movement and also to induce pleasure, friendliness,
laughter and evoke memories. In the book Delgado takes a great deal of
time to try to demonstrate in his way that mankind is a kind of
mechanical creature with no innate sense of soul or reality which cannot
be induced and created. His vision of the human mind is like that of
Galvani’s severed frog’s leg that twitches and moves when an electric
current is applied to the muscle. It is probably unscientific to call
Delgado evil, but he has that very specific outlook of the evil man,
that is: the desire to break something to see how it works but also
something of the man with no soul, the man with the damaged conscience
with the terrible inner emptiness and haunting horrors from which he is
eternally fleeing into the outside world, to fill that with more reality
than the inner world and to reduce mankind and nature to toys which can
be controlled by pressing buttons on a remote control.<br /><br />70 years
later one has to wonder how far Jose Delgado’s initial experiments have
been developed, perhaps to the level of astonishing horrors we can
hardly conceive. Suffice it to say that Delgado had a particular
interest in trying to reach the brain by by-passing the senses, sending
visual impression and images directly. This is the stuff of the best
tradition of dystopian science-fiction films like the Matrix, I would
strongly suspect that such a thing, even in its nascent state, is
presently being performed on unwilling and unwitting human guinea pigs
somewhere in the world. Delgado himself foresaw a future where men could
control other people via computers attached to stimoceivers implanted
in individuals’ brains which he imagines will also be able to control
people’s minds and create a robotlike humanity. I have to say that I
suspect some kind of psychopathy in Delgado, that only a robotised
psychopath would envision such a future for humanity, but it is often
the case that evil men continually seek to externalise that evil to the
world at large. It is hard to know what drives them, perhaps a malicious
desire to break and corrupt which they may dress up as scientific
progress but fundamentally the impulse is to create an externalisation
of their own inner hell. Obviously if Delgado’s world of transhumanism
does come to fruition, it would be the ultimate playground for all the
forces of evil on planet Earth to come together and rule forever by
reducing the vast majority of the population to human robots, devoid of
free-thought, emotions or memories of their own except that which the
controllers wish them to experience. There is no conceivably ‘good
outcome’ for such a world. I only hope that Jose Delgado is presently a
resident of Monkey Hell being eternally tormented by the legions of
monkeys which he so cruelly tormented with his experiments which after
all were only a stepping stone to doing the same to mankind.<br /><br /></span> Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-42434856007750565512023-05-26T16:18:00.008+04:002023-05-26T19:31:07.575+04:00US Military UFO's.

While most of the guests on this show seemed a little too inclined to believe that UFO’s were coming from a distant solar system a couple of callers joined the show and somewhat upset the apple-cart.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">I frankly, consider Leonard Stringfield to be one of ‘the Manipulators’ an agent deliberately working to perpetuate myths about UFO’s and ascribing their existence to ‘little green (or grey) men’. The twofold reasons for the creation of the fake alien agenda are as we have previously seen with the research and investigations of Jacques Vallee: to promote destruction of the old order of society for a secret group with an agenda of social-transformation and simultaneously provide cover for the development of secret military technology. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">It is particularly remarkable that during one of their interviews a caller called David tells the story of how, very early in the morning of 10<sup>th</sup> December 1964, he saw a UFO when he was on duty, guarding the motor pool, at Camp Forsythe military base in Kansas.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">While on guard he was relieved by a soldier in a truck, but instead of going back to the barracks where the guards slept, they drove away from the camp. Coming to a stop he saw two other enlisted men, from a specialist force class and a number of officers. The first thing that struck him as strange was that the men were usually given only three rounds of ammunition, but now each was given a full clip from the back of a truck. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">He was told that a secret aircraft from Offutt Air Force base Nebraska had become disabled and come down somewhere near the camp. They hiked three or four hills, taking about thirty-five to forty-five minutes, it was quite dark, when all of a sudden, he heard a thrashing sound: it was a Huey helicopter with a bright beam scanning the ground, then all of a sudden it moved over the ground ahead and dramatically lit up a large round disc shaped object, some hundred and fifty feet away.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">“My god it looks like a flying saucer” he remembers saying jokingly.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">It looked like hamburger bun, and he noticed something like a fan or a large round port opening like a large exhaust port. He moved closer to the object, and at about a foot from the object he noticed warm air coming from the saucer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Then they were told to leave as they were no longer needed. They were told never to reveal or repeat what they had seen because it was a secret object from Offutt air-force base, and as he wondered to himself later, why if that thing was paid in 1964 with taxpayer dollars why hasn’t it been revealed now?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Despite hearing such an amazing first-hand account Leonard Stringfield and Bill Jenkins seemed almost underwhelmed, and Stringfield in particular continued to drone on about the things his sources had told him about seeing the bodies of aliens and spent a long seemingly interminable while just trying to waste airtime by going on in general terms about his sources and how he can’t name them because of what might happen to them, meanwhile David several times tried to get a word in, but was rebuffed and ignored by the host and Stringfield. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">It seemed clear that his story didn’t ‘fit’ with what they were trying to achieve, indeed, in a subsequent episode Bill Jenkins and Leonard Stringfield both agreed that anyone saying the UFO’s are part of a secret military programme and not alien technology are part of a deliberate disinformation campaign.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">It was only by sheer good fortune that another caller, Louie, called in after an interminable delay during which Stringfield played for time and seemed determined to try to block David and show no interest or even refer to his story.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Louis was serving with the National Guard at Wichita Kansas and recounts how they were taken to Camp Ripley in Minnesota during June 1964. They were part of some kind of night-time war-games simulation and had been trained on how to use special night vision scopes, and were told that a special assault group was going to attack them and they were not to move from their positions under any circumstances. However, after midnight he got tired of sitting in the same foxhole and went for a walk to stretch his legs, he heard something so he hid himself so he wouldn’t get in any trouble for disobeying instructions.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">He saw a soldier with a different kind of uniform and a different kind of helmet, and he had some kind of special night sighting device which looked more advanced than his and also his weapon looked different, like a sub-machine gun but smaller. He followed him for a while and the man seemed to suspect that he was being followed but every time he turned around the Louis managed to hide himself. Then suddenly Louis could no longer see the man and following his footprints he saw that they ended suddenly. He wondered where he had gone, and saw a tree and cursed himself because it must be that he had climbed the tree and had got the best of him. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Then the air was strangely warm and there was a down-draft and he noticed that strangely there were no stars in the sky, he looked and saw that above him was a large black circular object blocking out the night sky. He heard a metal door slide away and heard electronic sounds and something like the sound of hydraulic equipment. There was a kind of gentle warm air current beneath the saucer, and he thought that this was connected to the form of propulsion. There was no motor noise, just a whine of electronic equipment; he was so startled he fell backwards on the ground. There were red black-out lights inside the open square door and he could hear voices talking inside about 40 feet above him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">He now felt that he was in way over his head and that he had violated orders. The next day the officers were so furious that someone had left their position that they had the whole unit standing out in the sun for three hours and they were screaming at them to find out who had disobeyed orders and left their post to follow the guy, he was so frightened that he didn’t mention it to his best buddies for four years.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">He added that on different occasions he also saw vertical take-off planes, they usually took off on a moonless night, from the Lockheed buildings and took off almost without noise, but with a kind of hydraulic whine similar to the sound of the UFO. He, like the other caller, suspected that they were something in the inventory of the US military.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Louis had called in to the radio show because it seemed to be the same kind of UFO which David had been guarding, complete with the feeling of warm air and the black colour. He then recounted how years later he had seen a copy of Mechanix Illustrated and a story about super soldiers and experimental military gear which had not been adopted for general use and he immediately recognised the same radio-helmet with an antenna in the top, he had seen the soldier wearing along with the new night vision scope, which the guy had been carrying.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">In order to test the likelihood of these accounts we should look for common themes recurring in disparate and separate accounts. We have observed that UFO’s with spinning sections and telescopic legs were a commonality between several different sightings. In this account from Stevens’ book Hitler’s Flying Saucers we find mention of a distinctive ‘whine’ which was mentioned in the phone-in caller Louis’ account:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">“The time of the sighting was in 1944, the place was Gut Alt Golssen, approximately 30 miles east of Berlin. The informant, whose name has been deleted, states that while he was a prisoner of war working for the Germans, a flying object arose nearby from behind an enclosure hidden from view by a 50-foot-high tarpaulin type wall. It rose about 500 feet then moved away horizontally. The only noise the object made was a high-pitched whine. The object was described as being 75 to 100 feet in diameter and 14 feet high. It was composed of a dark grey stationary top and bottom sections five to six feet high with a rapidly moving center section producing only a blur and extending the circumference of the vehicle. Notably, the engine of their farm tractor stalled during this event and the SS guards told the driver not to attempt a restart until the whine could no longer be heard.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">What is it that can cause failure of car engines at distance? Ionized air, which accords with the reported smell of burning or ozone which is often associated with UFO’s. It is likely that the Foo fighters of World War 2 were electromagnetic weapons and the intention was to interfere with the engines or allied aircraft and cause them to stall. The principle behind this is that by ionizing the atmosphere the engine is no longer insulated from the spark required to ignite the fuel, since the ionized atmosphere will conduct the electricity so the voltage leaks out from the battery contacts and cannot form a spark to ignite the fuel and instead forms a static charge in the atmosphere which then grounds itself. As long as the atmosphere around is ionized with free electrons this will continue and the engine will only restart once the ionizing presence of the UFO’s engines had departed and the atmosphere is no longer charged to form a flowing current which dissipates the voltage away from the spark plug.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">The NICAP website speculates that microwave radiation is the source of this ionization; this would also account for the warmth or heating effects associated with UFO’s not to mention peculiarities such as temporary spots of discolouration which were reported on the paintwork of the Hill’s motorcar.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">However, it is likely that there is not just one type of secret government UFO or one particular means of propulsion. From the following account it seems that during the 80’s there were experiments using nuclear powered UFO’s, and this might seem like a recipe for total disaster and so it proved to be. If there are any doubts that this craft was not man-made then how could it have travelled the countless billions of miles through the vacuum of space only to get to Earth and discover that the technologically advanced alien super beings somehow forgot how to fly their aircraft and promptly crashed it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Another Betty and another UFO mystery: Betty Cash, her work colleague and friend Vicki Landrum along with her young grandson Colby Landrum were on the way back to Dayton Texas after dining out. On a lonely two-lane road in deep nigh-time woods they suddenly saw bright lights in the sky above the trees. They continued on their way and saw the lights again but suddenly they loomed closer and the alarming and unexpected sight of large UFO shaped like a diamond, but flat at the top and expelling roaring fire bellow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">The thing seemed to be out of control and the fire and heat was so oppressive that they stopped the car. The burning flame bellow seemed to be the only thing stopping the object from crashing completely and the flame burst out periodically, just about keeping the strange diamond shaped vehicle bobbing above the road. In a moment a fresh burst of flame sent the vehicle rising above the trees.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Then suddenly they heard the more familiar sound of helicopters, counting as many as 23 including some Boeing Chinook twin bladed military choppers, in a tight formation as if escorting the strange floundering burning vessel.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">The UFO and helicopters went about their business and went off into the night but upon returning home all three of them started experiencing a range of symptoms including vomiting and diarrhoea, burning of the eyes and generalised weakness.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Betty Cash however got the worst of it. Painful blisters broke-out on her body and later she could not walk and started losing large patches of skin and clumps of hair; later developing breast cancer. Jerome Clarke in The UFO Encyclopaedia quotes a radiologist “we have strong evidence that these patients have suffered secondary damage due to ionizing radiation.” This story was documented in a 1985 HBO documentary “UFO’s What’s Going on?”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Another example of an UFO phenomenon being associated with high levels of radiation occurred in December 1980 just outside RAF Woodbridge near Rendlesham Forest Suffolk in England and has become known, somewhat ambitiously, as ‘the British Roswell’.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">The following is taken from an article on the website for the East Anglian Times:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">“Tim Acheson, measured the levels of radiation at locations around the site to see if they varied from other areas of the forest. He found that there were a number of radiation ‘hot spots’ at locations linked to the extra-terrestrial sightings back in December 1980.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">In the original Ministry of Defence investigation, the Defence Intelligence Staff assessed the levels of radioactivity documented in Lieutenant Colonel Halt’s official report as being “significantly higher than the average background.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">This is a highly impressive and significant piece of work. The levels of radioactivity in Rendlesham Forest are an important piece of physical evidence, and a better understanding of this aspect of the story may prove critical when it comes to resolving the question of what took place back in 1980.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;"><a href="https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/could-radiation-data-help-rendlesham-ufo-case-2452390">https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/could-radiation-data-help-rendlesham-ufo-case-2452390</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">The US Air Force had previously experimented with using nuclear power as a form of propulsion. Known as Project Pluto the idea was to apply heat from nuclear reactors to ramjet engines. A feasibility study was carried out in 1957 between the US Atomic Energy Commission and the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory. The vessel would take the form of a supersonic flying missile which would fly at low altitudes. In 1961 two test engines were successfully operated, mounted on a railroad car the first nuclear ramjet engine burst into life on July 1, 1964, but seven years later the project was apparently cancelled.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">The ramjet engine would be fed by what was effectively a compact nuclear reactor which had been made to go critical. The missile was to permanently cruise the skies carrying a payload of nuclear weapons, ready to strike targets in the then Soviet Union.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Another atomic-powered flying vehicle in development in the United States was the Lenticular Re-entry Vehicle. Lenticular is highly suggestive of being saucer shaped and was described in an edition of Popular Mechanics from November 2000 as ‘America’s nuclear flying saucer’. The project was classified in 1962 but cleared for public release in 1999. In 1975 in Australia at Jean Fraser’s farm south of Brisbane not far from a secret base where the British and Americans tested new projects, distinctive honey-comb type debris was discovered from a craft which was said to have crashed and been mostly recuperated in 1966. The idea of crashing saucers powered by critical nuclear reactors might be the stuff of the most pessimistic type of 70’s science fiction thriller but from what we have seen regarding crashing saucers they were probably a fairly common occurrence.</span></p><p></p>Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-1502455637633587912023-05-19T15:02:00.003+04:002023-06-11T14:34:09.695+04:00ACH (2156) Truthspoon – Quantum Physics And A Glimpse Of The Ultimate Reality – Part 1<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qHJkzERLycZcfkS51sG9WUFSyQyUk5dLgxrJu06VTExDaxua43ItFoba9nXUQHJbeKNNxedHN6aTOW9m18tTEe7Z5GKZQC1YRTKotzYdBlErYWgIeG1H7-H4ma7Qe-BfD4jdLHOB7mt4pLa4ln5kdx53VuImEQgSBXRVIA-LMeKmerY9faGzx5ld/s1200/Dali%20Teseract.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="877" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qHJkzERLycZcfkS51sG9WUFSyQyUk5dLgxrJu06VTExDaxua43ItFoba9nXUQHJbeKNNxedHN6aTOW9m18tTEe7Z5GKZQC1YRTKotzYdBlErYWgIeG1H7-H4ma7Qe-BfD4jdLHOB7mt4pLa4ln5kdx53VuImEQgSBXRVIA-LMeKmerY9faGzx5ld/s320/Dali%20Teseract.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> </p><header aria-label="Content" class="entry-header"><h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">ACH (2156) Truthspoon – Quantum Physics And A Glimpse Of The Ultimate Reality – Part 1</h1><div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2023-05-19T08:36:06+01:00" itemprop="datePublished">May 19, 2023</time></span> <span class="byline"><span class="author vcard" itemprop="author" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">by <span class="fn n author-name" itemprop="name">achitchcock</span></span></span></div></header><div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"><p style="text-align: left;">In

REVOLUTION IN MEDIAEVAL ENGLAND<br /></span></a></p>
<span style="mso-bookmark: MILL;"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I always wondered about the Russian
revolution and in what way could the interests of a people and nation ever be
said to have been served by the deaths of millions of people and the
innumerable terrible atrocities committed against Russians by fellow Russians.
It made no sense to me but I knew that there must be a reason for it because it
happened after all and for something to take place some groups of very rich and
powerful people must have a specific desire to make it occur. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The main thing that strikes me about the
Russian revolution is that it seemed to hate Russians. It cut them down
mercilessly, executed the best of the officers and generals, imprisoned the
best of intellectuals and sent them to far off Siberian gulags where their
intelligence could be safely contained and not a threat to the new regime. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The revolution seemed determined to kill the
best of people, and had no compunction about bloodying its hands and without
shame to achieve its goals and to a disinterested observer those goals appeared
to be to murder Russians and strip their country of anything noble, valuable,
intelligent and worthwhile. If one reaches the understanding and follows the
evidence that indicates that the Russian revolution was not planned, funded and
largely carried out by Russians, nor was it carried out for their interests but
planned, funded and carried out by non-Russians who had their own reasons for
destroying Christian Tsarist Russia, then working backwards one can examine all
so called revolutionary movements: the French Revolution and even the English
Civil war and the execution of King Charles I, we realise that there has always
been some ‘other’ group operating on the world-stage, using their puppets,
whether Oliver Cromwell one minute, a Duke of Orleans the next, then Lenin. In
the case of Cromwell and Lenin, there is the lingering suspicion that their
deaths were not entirely natural but were carried out once the puppets had
served their turn and had literally outlived their usefulness. All of these
revolutions were said to involve international banking interests. In Cromwell’s
case, his great great grandfather, Morgan Williams married Thomas Cromwell’s
sister. Thomas Cromwell as chief minister to Henry VIII is known for being the
instrument of the schism from the church of Rome. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Thomas Cromwell, as a boy, left his family to
travel to the continent and found himself joining the French mercenary army at
13. Leaving the army and starving on the streets of Florence he escaped
destitution by taking up service in the household of Florentine
banker Francesco Frescobaldi, whose family were said to have once
financially conquered England:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">"not only in holding the purse-strings
of the kings of England, but also in controlling sales of English wool which was
vital to continental workshops and in particular to the Arte della
Lana of Florence." Braudel, The Wheels of Commerce (‘Civilization
and Capitalism’).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Frescobaldi family financed the wars of
King Edward I and were also receivers of customs in England from 1307 and they
were also collectors of the papal tax and helped finance the crusades. Amedeo
de Frescobaldi absorbed many of the debts incurred by the King and after his
death and negotiated all of the customs duty on wool from Ireland and Scotland,
no doubt in service to the late King’s debts. However, with the fall of King
Edward II and suspicion of foreigners he was eventually arrested and had all
his goods seized. He fled England and the royal debt was never paid and the
Frescobaldi’s went bankrupt. It seems curious then that such a man as Thomas
Cromwell, on the verge of absolute destitution should be ‘rescued’ by a member
of the family who once had had such a powerful hand in the Kingdom of England
only to lose everything, on the turn of politics. Did they sponsor Thomas
Cromwell to return to England and manoeuvre him into setting up a continental
mercantile and legal network and to return to London a very influential man
with extensive contacts, destined for power by his own evident usefulness. In a
sense was the advent of Thomas Cromwell the first time the bankers had wrestled
control of the course of England and its destiny, whispering policy into the
ears of the king. If so then what do the bankers want? What is their policy? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">If we look at what Thomas Cromwell ultimately
did to England, we might be able to trace a course which might outline their
ultimate agenda and motivations. Renowned English historian Dominic Selwood,
Fellow of the Royal Society of Antiquaries, in his book Spies, Sadists and
Sorcerers states that Thomas Cromwell pursued an agenda of destruction: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“No one can be sure of the exact figure, but
it is estimated that the destruction started and legalized by Cromwell amounted
to 90% of the English art then in existence. Statues were hacked down. Frescoes
were smashed to bits. Mosaics were pulverized. Illuminated manuscripts were
shredded. Wooden carvings were burned. Precious metalwork was melted down.
Shrines were reduced to rubble. This vandalism went way beyond a religious
reform. It was a frenzy, obliterating the artistic patrimony of centuries of
indigenous craftsmanship with an intensity of hatred for imagery and depicting
the divine that has strong and resonant parallels today.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This was a period of time when the so called
‘dark-ages’ were perhaps still brightly illuminated in the cultural memory, a
time before what I would term the European banker Conquistador: William the
Conqueror. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What would be the purpose of
effacing more than a thousand years of history leaving nothing but darkness and
giving the impression that British history began in 1066?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The first Jews arrived in the country in 1066
and the first written record of a Jewish settlement in the country dates to
1070: there is no record of Jews in England before this time. During the reign
of Henry I, Jews tended to represent the King’s financial interest and they had
supremacy over Christians: a Jewish person’s oath was worth that of twelve
Christians, so in effect, Jewish people during this period had a kind of
diplomatic immunity and Jews were to be treat with special consideration as if
they were the King’s own property.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">One of the oldest town-houses, if not the
oldest town house in England is known as the Jew’s House in Lincoln and was
built in the 12th Century. It was in Lincoln in 1255 that one of the first
instances of the ritual murder of a Christian child occurred. Nine-year-old
Hugh disappeared from his home on 31st July and was discovered in a well on
29th August. He had been tortured and crucified in a re-enactment of the
crucifixion of Jesus according to the confessions of those found guilty. There
have been at least 150 accounts of children sacrificed by Jews as part of a
ritual murder; though now all such accounts are now classed as ‘blood libel’
and antisemitic canards, as if these children never existed and their murders
never happened. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">From a logical and rational perspective, not
to mention a scholarly and academic one, it is one of the axioms of historical
research that the closer you are to the time the events took place the more
accurate the recording of the facts. Conversely how can we be expected to
believe an analysis that these events never happened 800 years after the facts?
On this sound logical basis alone the canard of ‘blood-libel’ should be
summarily dismissed as some kind of deliberate mental distortion of reality. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The accounts of these murders have endured
for hundreds of years and such reports pervade history throughout the centuries
and the different countries of a whole continent. To imagine that tens of
thousands of people, for the past thousand years in all the countries of Europe
where these blood-sacrifices have been reported have all been engaged in some
huge and coordinated plot against Jews is possibly the most paranoid conspiracy
theory anyone could imagine, but the Jews are permitted their paranoid
conspiracy theories and even questioning them has become a criminal offence in
many countries throughout the world.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Blood libel is a contemporary concept which
has been summarily invented in order to efface these truths which expose the
nature of a people who are not only actively opposed to our best interests, but
are hostile to us and will seek to kill our people at any opportunity, whether
they pick off a lost child or manage to slay millions in an organised a
murderous organisation of engineered social revolution and destruction of
institutions and civilisation. It is a common evil to be murdered by an
antagonistic force, but to demonise the victims and victimise the demons, this elevates
the whole story to a kind of infernal satire and such a level of evil to be
permitted in this world convinces me indeed that this world is literally under
the thrall of a supernatural diabolical force of malicious evil constantly
seeking human blood through revolutions, genocides and wars which seems to have
sided with a particular human group claiming ethnic and religious privilege and
supremacy, at the expense of everybody else on Earth whose blood is let as
remorselessly and without a second thought, as the butchering of animals.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">There is an enormous effort to conceal and
obfuscate these crimes and call them ‘blood-libel’ and insinuate that they are
not true, or were invented in order for certain royal elements to profit by the
confiscation of Jewish property. This alone is interesting and a fact worthy of
note, and perhaps indicates how deeply our culture and society is controlled by
elements which do not share our well-being and interests but instead the preservation
and supremacy of their own. If reality can be rewritten to the extent that
historical torture and murder of children by known parties can be spun into
some kind of bizarre accusation of antisemitism then we are living in a world
where a caste system obviously exists and we are not at the top of that system.
It might be the kind of behaviour one might expect in a strange parallel world
where a literal slave-race comprising 99.8 percent of the world exists, while
the other 0.2 percent are the master-race. Any crime reported by the slaves
against the master-race would face the full force of the master-race’s
machinery of control to silence the complaints of the slave-race.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Thomas Cromwell weakened Europe by
encouraging the great schism which would riven it in two and lead to hundreds
of years of wars, intrigues and conflict. If there were another force, neither
part of England nor of Europe which did not have their interests in mind, then
it would likely want to encourage a policy in England of supporting the
Protestant reformation and weakening the power-base of the Roman Catholic
Church.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It seems strange that on his execution, the
man who had been so instrumental in taking England out of the Roman Catholic
Empire would declare: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“And now I praie you that be here, to beare
me record, I die in the Catholicke faithe, not doubtyng in any article of my
faith, no nor doubtyng in any Sacrament of the Chirche.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk69386283"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Dominic Selwoood in
his book Spies, Sadists and Sorcerers is very critical and states frankly that:
“Thomas Cromwell was the Islamic State of his day”.</span></a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">He says of Cromwell whom he describes as
Henry VIII’s ‘chief enforcer’:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“..one whose record for looting, murder and
destruction ought to have us apoplectic with rage.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">He goes on to describe some of the outrages
against history and culture which Thomas Cromwell committed and with this
analysis, which we being remote in the far distance of history, can see that
what Thomas Cromwell achieved was hardly different from the work of the French
or Russian Revolution and indeed, could well be seen as part of a single
continuum or ongoing project against the religion, culture and lives of the
state’s citizens.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">As hypothesised before one wonders whether
Thomas Cromwell was acting as an agent of the Frescobaldi banking family all
along; it is certain that their returns on their investment in the person of
Thomas Cromwell had proved highly profitable, aside from any ideological and political
agendas they may or may not have had the sequestering of the whole wealth of
the Roman church in England must represent one of the world’s greatest booties,
and any losses the family may have incurred as a result of the Barons acting
against what they considered corrupting foreign elements in the English court
had<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>been well and truly repaid with
interest, I therefore consider Thomas Cromwell to be an instrument of
banker-vengeance:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Flushed with the success of engineering
Henry’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon and his marriage to Anne Boleyn,
Cromwell moved on to confiscating the Church’s money. Before long, he was
dissolving monasteries as fast as he could, which meant seizing anything that
was not nailed down and keeping it for himself, for Henry, and for their circle
of friends. It was the biggest land-grab and asset-strip in English history,
and Cromwell sat at the centre of the operation, at the heart of a
widely-loathed, absolutist, and tyrannical regime. When Anne Boleyn pointed out
that the money should be going to charity or good works, he fitted her up on
charges of adultery, and watched as she was beheaded.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">And whether there is something innate in
human nature or something innate in the ‘revolutionary’ system which has
historically always been sponsored by international banking fraternities, the
same casual attitude to the liquidation of perceived political opponents with
the detached nonchalance of the administrator or clerical functionary.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“With lazy strokes of his pen, he condemned
royalty, nobles, peasants, nuns, and monks to horrific summary executions. We
are not talking half a dozen. He dispatched hundreds under his highly
politicized ‘treason’ laws.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is also strange that the barbarousness of
the French Revolution is closer to us in time and there are more cultural
connections with our present day since there are constant cultural reminders
through Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities or musicals like Les Miserables which evoke
the post-revolutionary period, there has been a recent interest in the Tudor
period through the work of popularising historians such as Dr David Starkey and
the television programme Wolf Hall, but these media portrayals serve only to
show how remote and estranged from our present period these distant
bloodthirsty and quarrelsome Tudors were, it’s almost as if a certain level of
barbarity is expected of our mediaeval kings and queens, but what if they were
only following the instructions of their advisors and chief ministers, what if
the barbarity of tortures and summary beheadings were really the work of some
other group with their own interests. This is what I believe. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I do not believe that monarchs have the level
of intelligence or malice necessary to have created the deep rivers of blood
which have led us to our present moment, nor do I believe their motivations
would be so great to kill so many people. Most people are content enough to get
through their life with the least possible grief as long as they receive a
reasonable degree of respect, understanding and value from other people. A
monarch has little to prove to acquire that respect, but they have every chance
of losing it by acting poorly, what if they were guided into acting poorly?
Then faced with the consequences of popular discontent, the monarch feels
alienated from his people, resentful, even possibly fearful, then his minister
is on hand to suggest the correct punitive dissuasive remedies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Thomas Cromwell was an example of one of the
‘Manipulators’ of his day using a puppet king to do his bidding and the bidding
of his owners. We can only speculate as to what kind of international merchant
banking fraternity might have existed in the middle-ages, or whether he was
indeed really employed in some way by the Frescobaldi family nursing old
grievances and eager to exploit an opportunity to train and infiltrate an agent
into the very highest echelons of the English royal court. What is known is
that both Edward I and Edward III defaulted on their loans and led to the
bankruptcy of several large Italian banking firms; Edward I had sought more
loans from the banker Ricciardi of Lucca for his war with France in 1294 but
they were either unable or unwilling to extend him more credit whereupon he
seized their English assets, bankrupting them. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">King Edward III defaulted on a debt of
900,000 gold florins to the Peruzzi banking family and 600,000 to the Bardi
banking family, this led to the collapse of several Italian banks, along with the
ruination of the wealthy patrons who held their money with the collapsed banks.
It is argued that this led to a general Europe-wide economic decline, also
termed a ‘great depression’ which began in 1340. Considering the toll three
terms of English Monarchs had had on the Florentine banking industry and the vast
quantity of unpaid debts is it really so unusual to make the suggestion that a
member of this deposed <span class="MsoSubtleEmphasis"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">banking</span></span><i> </i>empire uses an English agent
to belatedly settle the bill with ample interest. It’s just an idea, but it is
a strongly persuasive one, at least to my reasoning. In history a ‘coincidence’
is often a sign that there is a conspiracy, and can it be a conspiracy that we
have witnessed several bloodthirsty attacks on Christian nations in which the
priority seems to be the destruction of the church and the murder of fellow
Christians? The French Revolutionary moto was based on the phrase of French
philosopher and Freemason, Denis Diderot ‘hang the last noble with the entrails
of the last priest’. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich was a Jewish
communist and Stalin’s ‘chief enforcer’ responsible for the deaths of millions
of Christian Russians and Ukrainians in the Holodomor along with the
destruction of Christian monuments, churches and over a thousand years’ of
Russian history, perhaps most notably the great Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
in Moscow when he proclaimed “Mother Russia is cast down. We have ripped away
her skirts.” This is clearly a victory cry of triumph against Russia and the
Russian people, along with her culture and history by the outside element which
is antithetical to their existence and will employ all the machinery of the
modern age to create horrors of bloodshed and destruction. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Like the Guillotine of the French Revolution,
named after a French Freemason who was not the actual inventor of the machine, as
guillotines had been in use as a means of execution in England since 1280, but as
the man who first suggested its use in the Revolution, we find the endless need
for piles upon piles of heads of Christians in these revolutions. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This is echoed back in the time some two
hundred years previously where Selwood describes, what I would term the
‘revolutionary legacy’ of Thomas Cromwell:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“We only have to survey the smashed up
medieval buildings the length and breadth of the country, or contemplate
Cromwell’s record of public beheadings and other barbarous executions.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Thomas Cromwell was eventually beheaded at
Tower Hill on the 28th July 1540 prior to his execution he begged the king for
mercy, perhaps he asked for the same mercy he had shown those he had executed
for there was none and for once justice was done, although Henry apparently
regretted killing such a useful and important minister. It is curious that on
the same day as his death one of his protegees, Lord Hungerford of Heytesbury,
who had reached his position through the patronage of Cromwell, was also
executed, ostensibly for buggery but he was also known to have been part of a
seditious group which had even practiced magic to attempt to shorten King
Henry’s life and ascertain the chances of success of a Catholic rebellion in
Lincolnshire. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This brings us to another strange element to
this story which might cause us to wonder that perhaps Cromwell was just
employed to disrupt the Kingdom and had no particular deep ideological reasons
for causing the split from the Roman Church since he (and even King Henry
himself) confessed that they had remained Catholic. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The man who was executed: Lord Hungerford,
whom Cromwell brought to prominence and patronised, was connected to people
sympathetic to The Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion against Henry’s break with the
Roman church and the policies of Thomas Cromwell himself. This uprising began
not far from where I was born in Lincolnshire in a pleasant market town called
Louth at the Saint James church and as many as 40,000 people marched on Lincoln
to demand the freedom to practice as Catholics (just like King Henry and Thomas
Cromwell himself) and protection for the Church treasures of Lincolnshire.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Ultimately Hungerford was executed for his
suspected involvement or sympathy with the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion since
he employed William Bird his chaplain, and it was claimed that Hungerford knew
the man to be a traitor, and such associations, along with the Rector of
Fittleton and the Vicar of Bradford, cast doubts on his loyalty to the king.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Oliver Cromwell, like his great great
grand-uncle, was a pawn and puppet of international finance. Why was King
Charles murdered? Follow the money. He had angered the merchants and bankers by
seizing gold coins from the Royal Mint which were destined to the merchants and
creditors of Government debt and just as King Henry had ordered Cromwell’s
death, Oliver Cromwell ordered King Charles’ death. There are no coincidences
in history, instead, evidence of an underlying agenda.</span></p>

<span style="mso-bookmark: PARAMETERS;"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
In the free Tokyo English language ex-pat newspapers and magazines one finds,
at least when I lived there, advertisements and notices which raise many
questions in themselves. If you were to go there now and thumb through the
classifieds and jobs sections, the chances are you will find offers of certain
kinds of special employment available exclusively to Filipino women. One such
advert I found said something along the lines of: “wanted, psychically gifted
Filipinos for ethical work in Tokyo area...” This raises two main questions
immediately. Firstly, are there various agencies which know that psychic powers
exist and they can use them for some purpose? Secondly if it is necessary for
them to make the distinction that the work offered is ‘ethical’ then what else
is going on out there behind the scenes involving ‘psychically gifted
Filipinos’ which is not ethical?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">What these ‘psychically gifted’ women or ‘witches’ as I
would classify the bunch I happened to be sharing a house with, seemed able to
do: and a South African Shaman friend of mine later confirmed to me that it was
something she could also do, was to be able to project their consciousness into
the mind of another person. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In the book The Chasm of Fire, Irene Tweedie documents a
woman’s experience in India studying under a Sufi shaman. In the account she
details the occurrence of her mentor actually entering her mind at night time
and projecting all sorts of unsettling and unpleasant images into her mind.
Most of the images are of a sexual nature and Tweedie fails to understand the
process and why her mentor is doing such a thing to her. Eventually she comes
close to a nervous breakdown and becomes very lonely and depressed to such an
extent that she abandons the training. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The process which Irene Tweedle had chosen to enrol
herself in and later abandoned, was a deliberate attempt by her Sufi mentor to
drive her insane through the relentless terror and shock of the visions he was
implanting in her mind. To Tweedle this made no sense, but if she had known
perhaps that schizophrenia is the key to the Sufi ‘enlightenment’ and indeed
the key goal of all such secret society initiatory programmes, then this
knowledge would have allowed her to make sense of what was happening to her,
although perhaps knowing the method to the madness may actually impede that
goal. It is harder to be scared of the unknown if the unknown becomes known and
difficult to remain in a state of confusion about the purpose if one can see
that confusion IS the purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">But madness or schizophrenia isn’t quite the mystery it
appears, in fact there is a clear bio-chemical origin behind the transformation
from sanity to what is generally termed ‘insanity’. Barbara O’Brien reveals in
her book that she:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“…became very curious about the psychiatrists who suspected
a relationship between schizophrenia and a dysfunction of the adrenal gland.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Under
conditions of mental or physical stress the body produces adrenalin. There’s no
mystery here and this process is well understood by most people. What is
slightly more arcane and what has caused a stir in the truth community is
adrenochrome. Unfortunately, a lot of what the truth movement is saying about
adrenochrome is unfortunately wrong. The elite do not drink it as some kind of
elixir of eternal youth, this is all disinformation and nonsense.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Adrenochrome
is oxidised adrenalin, that is adrenalin which has gone bad. It is a neurotoxin
and free-radical and is not something you want in the body. Adrenalin is
produced in the body as a result of stress and anxiety, and it naturally
degrades to adrenochrome, however in a healthy body and with a small release of
adrenalin, it is safely scavenged by anti-oxidants in the body and excreted.
However, if the period of stress, anxiety or prolonged uncertainty, can be
sustained over a long time, then the release of adrenalin becomes continuous
and the body can no longer safely scavenge the adrenochrome toxin and it starts
to build up in the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Adrenochrome
is a psychoactive compound; its effects are somewhat like LSD but whereas a bad
LSD trip will eventually wear off, adrenochrome build up, in a suitably
stressed or terrorised individual, will not wear off: leading to a potentially
permanent condition of what is effectively intoxication by a powerful
psychoactive compound running perpetually through the bloodstream. This
condition is known as schizophrenia. Dr Abraham Hoffer’s work in identifying adrenochrome
as the ‘schizophrenia’ toxin as well as the possibility of treatment with high
doses of niacin also known as vitamin B3, would clear up some of the great
mysteries of our times as well as almost instantly solving the world-wide
mental illness epidemic; but there are powerful vested interests who perhaps
would lose countless millions of dollars in such an event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Adrenochrome
is not an elixir of life, it does not have any positive effects on the body.
Hoffer conducted experiments with the ingestion of Adrenochrome and reported
his findings in his research paper entitled </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Effect of Adrenochrome
and Adrenolutin on the Behavior of Animals and the Psychology of Man.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Previously Hoffer had apparently administered adrenochrome
to various creatures including </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">spiders, fish, and pigeons to the mammals
including rats, cats, dogs, monkeys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
wonders how the spiders felt about being given adrenochrome, one suspects none
of the animals had a particularly good trip.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">To quote from the paper:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Some of the changes produced by adrenochrome may persist
several days, and in some cases, the effects lead to nearly disastrous results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The changes in thinking induced by adrenochrome are
similar to those observed in schizophrenia. Adrenochrome causes an elective
inhibition of the process, which determines the content of associative
thinking.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0074774208600252"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0074774208600252</span></a><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The mind under a burden of adrenochrome enters a
different state of consciousness. Schizophrenia is basically a form of
consciousness and it is precisely this state which the UFO cults, the secret
societies and Sufi mentors are trying to induce.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The scientific explanation for how it works is complex
but basically adrenochrome is antagonistic to GABA fluid. GABA fluid is an
electrical brain insulator which keeps the brain synapsis and neurons under
control by reducing electrical charge. With adrenochrome the electromagnetic
structure of the mind is totally changed. The usual natural dampening
mechanisms of the brain’s physiology which control the mind, and one might even
say, protect the soul from too much awareness in the physical realm, are
bypassed leading to a break-down in the mechanism of control over the mental
processes of the mind and that sense of estrangement from reality which so familiar
to the schizophrenic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Where things get really strange is that some of the
experiences which go along with this altered state of consciousness are not
necessarily unreal because they are taking place in altered consciousness. For
instance, if you are sleeping you are in a different level of consciousness.
What is happening in your dream to your unconsciousness mind is real for that
level of consciousness. When you are awake you are in a different level of
consciousness, and in effect, a different level of reality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The adrenochrome experience, actually puts you in a
different level of reality and this level of reality is shared by high level
Illuminati people and other types who have had specific experiences which have
put them in this same level of reality. While in this level of reality they can
hear each other's thoughts and are able to perceive demonic and spiritual
energies. The Illuminati consider this the peak of human development and call
it ‘Illumination’. They deliberately induce this state because they find it
allows them to have psychic and clairvoyant faculties because the brain is
operating beyond its normal limits. We find this curious attitude even within
the scientific community as attested by Barbara O’Brien:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Consider the most extreme of the theories. ‘I am almost
convinced,’ said one biologist, ‘that the schizophrenic is an attempt on the
part of nature at forming a mutation.’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Historically,
the ancient cults believed that there were ways to access altered states of
consciousness and in these states, they could communicate with the unseen
spirits, or ‘Gods’. Every culture in the world has a mythology that the Gods
taught them the various crafts, arts and skills which enabled the human race to
create the first civilisations within a time frame reaching back to the last
10,000 years, a period which coincides with the end of the last ice-age.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
oracles of the ancient world were usually people who through various methods,
existed in a semi-permanent state of altered consciousness which allowed them
to see the future and contact the unseen spirit world. Such abilities have
always been lauded by the occult and secret-world which has always existed
since the very dawn of human civilisation, after all, it would seem that these
people were instrumental in gaining such knowledge using occult methods, if the
ancient records which come up time and time again are to be believed and since
the records all seem to say the same thing regardless of the geographical
location, then there must be some truth behind these myths. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“According
to the psychoanalyst who treated me, spontaneous recoveries are rare and weird
events in advanced schizophrenia and when they occur they present a mysterious
spectacle – that of a mind walking out of a fourth dimension into which it has

schizophrenic to describe their condition as being propelled into the fourth
dimension is quite apt, though for some they consider the feeling like being in
hell, or even like being in a state of living death. One can see how such an
enigmatic and mysterious state of reality might have become the interest and
domain of a particular group of people a very long-long time ago in human
history. There is even the possibility that the ‘curse of Cain’ refers to this
condition but this is superstition and theorising and nothing more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a brief psychotic episode was also a feature of many of the ancient mystery
school initiations: a figurative period in the underworld mired in despair and
the fear of death only to pass beyond and out of this realm, back to the realm
of life, but this time transformed and with the sure knowledge that there is a
whole mysterious hidden realm behind the scenes or normal consciousness; this
state being induced either through various trials and tribulations, or through
fasting and the ingestion of psycho-active compounds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

O’Brien seems to see her experience in these terms, almost like a kind of
journey through madness and return to normalcy:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

guidance was clearer than the planning. I had been maneuvered into a hospital
when I unconsciously suspected pneumonia; maneuvered into visiting a doctor
when I unconsciously suspected a mastoid; maneuvered to a mountain cabin when I
was exhausted from bus traveling; provided with a flashlight so that I wouldn’t
fall on a dark road; rescued from a mountain lion; maneuvered out of the
mountain cabin the morning after the mountain lion incident; reminded
punctually of meal times and the necessity for eating; reminded punctually
(during</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"> the last month) of the need for brushing my teeth and
other grooming. Whatever mental level the guidance had come from, it was
clearly some level other than the this-is-I dry beach, and it had made certain
that the organism was kept in good physical condition while the dry beach was
incapable of providing the car<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The planning was almost as obvious. Even on the first
day, the voices had sketched in the picture of things to come. This was an
experiment the Operators had told me. My mind was going to be controlled by
Operators and I should have to be cooperative for my own sake as well as for
theirs. And Nicky had added, as if the success of the experiment were being
weighed, I would have one chance in three hundred of escaping the Operators and
I would have to be lucky in the bargain. I had been manoeuvred away from home,
where publicity of my insanity would have made life difficult after sanity had
been regained, and where also there existed a company for which I persisted in
working and toward which I had developed long established, difficult-to-change
attitudes. I had been induced into riding Greyhound buses, where I could sit in
schizophrenic apathy while I lived in my mental world, a state of being almost
identical on the surface with the usual bus passenger who stares at the
landscape, his mind on inner reflections. I had been coaxed into writing
letters that would keep the home folk happy, manoeuvred to California by the
Lumberjacks, figures apparently created for that very purpose, and had been
induced to stay in California for the final act. And when the fall of the final
curtain was sense<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It had occurred in an article by a psychiatrist who had
cautiously avoided jumping into the lake of guesswork and who, instead, had
stood on the center of a seesaw and observed carefully both sides of all the
mysteries of schizophrenia. One of these observations was, “Whether the
schizophrenic really creates a dream world intentionally and purposefully, or
whether he finds himself in one is debatable.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

possible that she has rationalised it thus since she has the luxury of having
sanity to put the experience into some kind of rational framework. Most people
having such an experience of schizoid-psychosis of this kind are not so lucky and
have to remain permanently in the underworld.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Jesuits is Miguel de Molinos. As a youth he was educated by the Jesuits and
ordained as a Jesuit priest in 1652, joined the brotherhood of the School of
Christ. He was sent to Rome where he became very influential and soon developed
a powerful network of patrons including the exiled Queen of Sweden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">While in Rome he developed the ‘philosophy’ or perhaps more accurately,
the heresy for which he has become recorded in history: ‘Quietism’, the details
of which he thoroughly outlined in his book ‘The Spiritual Guide which
Disentangles the Soul’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">The key point of the book is Miguel’s advocacy for what he terms
‘contemplation’ over the ‘meditation’ of the Jesuits. Meditation in his terms
refers to the Jesuit techniques of visualising key scenes from the Bible,
specifically the Passion of Christ and also visualising hell itself as we have
just read in the Spiritual Exercises of Ignacio Loyola. The ostensible purpose
of Molino’s Spiritual Guide was to teach man a method of drawing closer and
knowing God by curtailing the activity of the mind and the personal will.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">After a hitherto successful career in the church and Molinos’ doctrine
of Quietism having become broadly accepted and not then considered heretical, something
changed. Jesuits felt they needed to rebut the specific attacks made in the
book about their methods of ‘meditation’ and there was a lively back and forth
between Quietists and Jesuits as to which method was the best, whether the
‘meditation’ (which is more like a form of contemplation) of the Jesuits or
‘contemplation’ (which is really a form of meditation) of the Quietists. The
Inquisition took an interest and investigating in 1681 declared the Spiritual
Guide of Miguel de Molinos orthodox and compatible with the teachings of the
Church. However, in 1685 the tide turned against him and he was arrested under
instruction from French authorities and while many in Rome were sympathetic to
Molinos in 1687 he confessed his errors to the Inquisition and died after
spending nine years in prison.</span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"> At his trial according to Britannica.com:</span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 15pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Molinos defended sexual aberrations committed
by himself and his followers as sinless, purifying acts caused by the Devil. He
claimed they were passively allowed in order to deepen a quiet repose in God.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;">Pope Innocent XI wrote of Molinos:</span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 15pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

published his Spiritual Guide, which purported to lead the reader through the
various stages of the spiritual life to perfection in this world, whereby one
would remain perfectly passive before God as the highest state. Once there, a
person need not fear sins committed under the temptations of the Devil, but
should remain at peace, even after committing the vilest acts.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This ‘doctrine’ if we can call it that,
ought to recall what we have seen of the Kabbalah and the idea of ‘holy sin’ or
sin even serving a useful purpose in making a person </span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">more righteous before God.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">We even find this very dangerous idea had
crept into the theology of Pope </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Gregory I to whom Molinos
refers:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“That we may not make Poison of Physick, and Vices of
Vertues, by becoming vain by ‘em; God would have us make Vertues of Vices,
healing us by that very thing which would hurt us: So says St. Gregory.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">And Pope Gregory reaches this conclusion by some highly
Kabbalistic logic worthy of Simon Magus himself:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I'd like to look inside the fortified bosom of grace
with how much God keeps us by the favor of mercy. Behold, he who exalts
himself about virtue returns through vice to humility. But he who is
extolled for his virtues, is wounded, not by the sword, but, so to speak, by
medicine. For what is virtue but medicine? and what is vice but
wound? Because, therefore, we treat the wound as a medicine, he makes the
medicine of the wound, so that we who are smitten by virtue may be cured by
vice.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is
all rather unfortunate because most of the early elements of the Spiritual
Guide and the core of Quietism is basically a form of Zen meditation which is
an extremely useful spiritual and psychological tool which can be used to
experience other states of being once the mental chatter of the brain has been
quietened, however this is not an idea original to Molinos and it is likely he
learned about it in his studies and decided to adopt it as a plausible cover
for his true aims which may have been deliberate subversion or at least, an
excessive enjoyment of physical pleasures. The Catholic Herald reports how:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Benedetto Odescalchi and the exiled Queen Christina of Sweden became admirers
(although the Queen regarded Fr de Molinos’s huge appetite for food with
sceptical amusement).”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

true origins of Molino’s ‘Quietism’, or at least those to emerge in the West,
are to be found in the works of a late 5<sup>th</sup> Century Greek philosopher
using the pseudonym of a 1<sup>st</sup> Century Greek convert to Christianity
by Saint Paul known as ‘Dionysius the Areopagite’. Pseudo-</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Dionysus

he is known was a</span><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">philosopher
who apparently was both a Christian and conversely, a Neo-Platonist. He
expounded proto-Kabbalistic ideas which we can derive from the following from </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Corrigan
& Harrington (2014):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“According to pseudo-Dionysius, God is better
characterized and approached by negations than by affirmations.
All names and theological representations must be negated. According to
pseudo-Dionysius, when all names are negated, ‘divine silence, darkness, and
unknowing’ will follow.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">A PHD thesis by R. A. Agnew for the University of
Edinburgh comments on Pseudo-Dionysus linking his philosophy to the
‘Illuminati’:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“He, further, explains that Quietude and Silence are
necessary, since ‘only like can know like’; and ‘God is peace’ and ‘Repose’, ‘the
One all perfect source ...</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">of the Peace of all’; and He is Silence ‘the angels are, as it were, the
heralds of the Divine Silence’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In silence then ‘let the intelligent soul transcend
intelligence and it forgets itself ... Closed, ... mute and silent ... and
sheltered, not only from exterior but also from interior impulses; he is made
God.’ This is deification, the principle of Eckhart, the doctrine of the Brethren
of the Free Spirit, and the teaching of the Illuminati.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Agnew
in his PHD paper writes, citing Pseudo-Dionysius:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

find in Dionysius the doctrine of the three ways: the Purgative; the
Illuminative; and the Unitive. Through him this division has become the
standard for all later exponents of mysticism. To explain it, he writes Moses
was enjoined first to purify himself, then he saw the light from the smoking
mountain, and then the face of God. It is after the soul has been freed from
the world of sense that it enters the mysterious obscurity of holy ignorance
... to be lost in Him, who can neither be seen nor felt."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

writes, showing the debt he owes as does the mediaeval hermetic tradition which
had infiltrated the church, to the mysterious Greek philosopher in his
quasi-alchemistic references to a three-step path (one might say degrees) of
‘cleansing’ or ‘purgation’, ‘Illumination’ and finally ‘unity’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

if thou wilt serve God, and arrive at the sublime Region of Internal Peace;
thou must pass through that rugged Path of Temptation; put on that heavy Armor;
fight in that fierce and cruel War, and in that burning Furnace, polish, purge,
renew, and purifie thy self.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

which reason St. Ignatius Loyola said very well in his Exercises, that in the
cleansing way, Corporal Penances were necessary, which in the illuminating way
ought to be moderated, and much more in the unitive.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of this was of course probably very novel for the church of 17th Century
Europe: the introduction of what we might consider techniques of transcendental
meditation, and it is a pity that Molinos tarnished these valuable techniques (as
indeed to this day many Christians consider meditation of this kind to be
dangerous and a way for permitting ‘demonic’ influences). It could be that
Molinos having found the genuine peace of meditation, misinterpreted the reward
of having a still mind and extrapolated that it is necessary to surrender the
will as well, that is to abandon any objective frame of morality or reference
and surrender the mind. Either that or like so many people who achieve
notoriety, success and a throng of admirers, he wasn’t devoted enough to resist
the Earthy temptations such a position can present:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

must know, that this Annihilation to make it perfect in the Soul, must be in a
man’s own Judgment, in his Will, in his Works, Inclinations, Desires, Thoughts,
and in it Self: so that the Soul must find it self dead to its Will, Desire,
Endeavour, Understanding and Thought; willing, as if it did not will; desiring,
as if it did not desire; understanding, as if it did not understand; thinking,
as if it did not think, without inclining to any thing, embracing equally
Contempts and Honours, Benefits and Corrections. O what a happy Soul is that
which is thus dead and annihilated! It lives no longer in it self, because God
lives in it: And now it may most truly be said of it, that it is a renewed
Phenix; because ‘tis changed, spiritualized, transformed and deified.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have a further ‘alchemistic’ reference, this time to the ‘Phenix’ which informs
me, as well as references to a spiritual guide, that Molinos was actually a
disciple or novice of some mentor figure who was guiding him through some
ongoing transformative, alchemical process. A process which has existed since
the earliest records of history and shrouded in mystery even until the present
day where this process has now taken on almost industrial proportions in terms
of its influence on many members of the public institutions, media and
political realm, but is still a complete mystery to the vast majority.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Unfortunately, there is perhaps something in the
character of Miguel de Molinos which allowed itself to justify his ceding
repeatedly to temptation by blaming the devil and refusing to take personal
responsibility. But there is much in his ‘Guide’ which suggests a background in
Kabbalah as there are too many obvious Kabbalistic elements which show
themselves partially submerged in his doctrine. We can also see how in recent
times Molinos has been upheld as some kind of prophet by certain hermetic
movements and Aleister Crowley wrote extensively in praise of him:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“In more remote times, the constituent originating
assemblies of the O.T.O. included such men as … Molinos” Liber LII Manifesto of
the O.T.O. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Crowley considered Miguel de Molinos to be one of his
‘Gnostic Saints’ as detailed in Liber XV and refers to the Spiritual Guide in
the following terms:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“That you may gain some insight into the nature of the
Great Work which lies beyond these elementary trifles, however, we should
mention that an intelligent person may gather more than a hint of its nature
from the following books, which are to be taken as serious and learned
contributions to the study of Nature, though not necessarily to be implicitly
relied upon.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Indeed, Crowley’s reference to ‘crossing the abyss’ which
was a personal spiritual boast for him may have been inspired by the writing of
Molinos in his reference to mediation:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“By not speaking, not desiring, and not thinking, one
arrives at the true and perfect Mystical Silence, wherein God speaks with the
Soul, communicates himself to it, and in the Abyss of its own Depth, teaches it
the most perfect and exalted Wisdom.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Molinos refers to the ability to better deal with anxiety
and worry, which might be termed ‘invisible enemies’:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The strong Castle, that will make thee triumph over all
thine enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and
tribulations, is within thine own Soul, because in it resides the Divine Aid
and Sovereign Succour. Retreat within it and all will be quiet, secure,
peaceable and calm. When thou seest thy self more sharply assaulted, retreat
into that region of Peace, where thou’lt find the Fortress. When thou are more
faint-hearted, betake thy self to this refuge of Prayer, the only Armor for
overcoming the enemy, and mitigating tribulation: thou ought not to be at a
distance from it in a Storm, to the end thou mayest, as another Noah,
experience tranquillity, security.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It would seem to me that Molinos despite apparently fully
engaging in a kind of pure Zen meditation and breaking through the threshold of
darkness to the realm of mental bliss beyond, something seemed to have gone
wrong and at a certain point reading through the Spiritual Guide we find a very
different tone emerge, one which I myself cannot reconcile with my experience
of such meditation and can only assume that something went wrong somewhere with
Molinos, that either he was not able to master his will and became a prey to
some negative force which was able to take control of his mind. We notice a
corner being turned and suddenly, something appears to have gone wrong
somewhere with Molinos’ meditation because he starts to speak of pain and adverse
physiological effects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“With new efforts thoul’t exercise thy self, but in
another manner than hitherto, giving thy consent to receive the secret and
divine operations, and to be polished, and purified by this Lord, which is the
only means whereby thou will become clean and purged from thine ignorance and
dissolutions. Know, however, that thou art to be plunged in a bitter sea of
sorrows, and of internal and external pains, which torment will pierce into the
most inward part of thy Soul and Body.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is possible that Molinos was unduly influenced by the
Alumbrado tradition of ‘ecstatic’ rites and believed that this was the way to
experience the divine and he refers in his book to a certain “Illuminated
Mother of Cantal” which is not traditional clerical terminology but more of the
mystical and occult. Perhaps he was part of this tradition or at least sought
out this experience, much to his cost I would say since whatever it was which
possessed him and gave him ‘pains’ and ‘torment’ also seemed to influence his
life and lead him to moral dissolution which was ultimately his undoing</span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Thou
wilt think verily, that thou art possessed by an evil Spirit; because the signs
of this interior exercise, and horrible tribulation, seem as bad as the
invasions of infernal Furies and Devils. Then take care to believe thy Guide
firmly, for thy true Happiness consists in thy obedience.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The
invisible enemies will pursue thee with scruples, lascivious suggestions, and
unclean thoughts, with incentives to impatience, pride, rage, cursing and
blaspheming the Name of God, his Sacraments, and holy Mysteries. Thou’lt find a
great lukewarmness, loathing, and wearisomness for the things of God; and
obscurity and darkness in thy understanding; a faintness, Confusion and narrowness
of heart; such a coldness and feebleness of the will to resist, that a straw
will appear to thee a beam. Thy desertion will be so great, that thou’lt think
there is no more a God for thee, and that thou are rendered incapable of
entertaining a good desire: so that thou’lt continue shut up betwixt two walls,
in constant streights and anguish, without any hopes of ever getting out of so
dreadful an oppression.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And
the tenor of the book changes and now Molinos speaks of acquiring a spiritual
guide, one who will apparently think on your behalf and in whose judgment, one
should trust even above one’s own:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Thou
shalt find thy self encompassed with troublesome scruples, griefs, anguish,
distress, martyrdoms, distrusts, forsakings of the Creatures, and troubles so
bitter, that thy afflictions shall seem past comfort, and thy torments
unconquerable. O blessed Soul! how happy wilt thou be, if thou dost but believe
thy Guide, and subject thy self to to him and obey him? Then wilt thou walk
safe by the secret and interiour way of the dark night, altho thou may’st seem
to thy self to live in Errour, and that thou art worse then ever; that thou
seest nothing in thy Soul, but abomination and signs of condemnation.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And
Molinos now, with a dim awareness of his true condition, namely that of being
in the thrall of some kind of demonic control, yet this is still within his
‘system’ of Quietism and is a necessary part of some mystical process. I
suspect something in his earlier Jesuit training and the endless contemplation
of hell and his sins had evoked some spirit of the mind or of some other realm
which perhaps has been fully loosened with the quietening of the controlling
faculty of the mind and the will:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Here
thou wilt see thy self forlorn and subject to Passions of impatience, anger,
rage, swearing, and disordered appetites, seeming to thy self the most
miserable Creature, the greatest Sinner in the World, the most abhorred of God,
deprived and stript of all Vertue, with a pain like that of Hell, seeing thy
self afflicted and desolate, to think that thou hast altogether lost God; this
will be thy cruel cutting and most bitter torment.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">We
also find a comment which may recall to experiences of Swedenborg and his being
assaulted by the voices of demonic spirits:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“…because
it would naturally be impossible, considering the force and violence wherewith
sometimes they attack, to resist one quarter of an hour.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">We
find a similar account in the story of the Catholic Saint Teressa whom Molinos
references and praises and calls ‘the great Doctoress, and Mystical Mistress.’
It also seems that she like Molinos was continually affected by ‘troublesome
thoughts’:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“There
is a necessity of suffering the trouble of a Troop of Thoughts, importune
Imaginations, and the impetuosities of natural Notions, not only, of the Soul
through the dryness and disunion it hath, but of the Body also, occasioned by
the want of submission to the Spirit, which it ought to have.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">She
also wrote, or rather her confessor who recorded her words wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Devotion
of Ecstasy, is where the consciousness of being in the body disappears. Sensory
faculties cease to operate. Memory and imagination also become absorbed in God,
as though intoxicated. Body and spirit dwell in the throes of exquisite pain,
alternating between a fearful fiery glow, in complete unconscious helplessness,
and periods of apparent strangulation.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">It
would be a good idea at this point to examine this Catholic saint, one of the
few women to have been sanctified and furthermore declared a ‘Doctor of the
faith’ by the Catholic church. Teresa Sanchez de Cepeda y Ahumada was born in
Avila Spain in 1515. Her paternal grandfather was a Marrano, a Chew forced to
convert to Christianity under pain of expulsion. In a fine example of the
illusory nature of many of the Chews’ conversions to Christianity, her
grandfather apparently returned to the Chewish faith after ‘conversion’ and was
investigated by the Inquisition but later managed to reintegrate himself into
Christian life. Teresa’s father was a wool merchant and one of the richest men
in Avila and was knighted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">At 20
she entered the Carmelite Convent of the Incarnation which had been built
on top of land which had been used as a Chewish burial ground. It was here that
she started to experience ‘spiritual ecstasy’ combined with debilitating
physical illness brought on by self-imposed physical mortification including
excessive fasting which was to lead to continual ill-health throughout her
life. Her fondness for self-flagellation was such that when she received Papal
sanction for her principles; she created a new constitution for her convent
which involved stricter rules and three lots of ceremonial flagellation every
week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">During
her illnesses she believed she had reached a ‘perfect union with God’ although
many at the time suggested these experiences could be the result of diabolical
rather than divine influence. She became convinced that Jesus Christ himself
had physically presented himself to her although he was invisible to others and
one vision in particular caused her further pain when an invisible seraph or
angel repeatedly stabbed her in the heart with a golden lance:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I
saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the point there seemed to be a
little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and
to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out
also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so
great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this
excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it …” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Naturally
this has nothing to do with God or anything divine and quite rightly the
suspicions of some of her friends at the time seem well founded that there was
a diabolical origin to these visions and torments. It was even reported that
she experienced levitation and sometimes the other sisters at the convent had
to physically hold her down. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Another
female mystic later made ‘Doctor of the Catholic church’ was Saint Catherine of
Siena. She was an early Christian mystic who emerged long before the Alumbrados
and died a 100 years before the birth of proto-Alumbrado Maria de Santo
Domingo. From her we can also find a development of the work of Pseudo-Dionysius
and she may also have influenced the work of Molinos; in a letter to leader of
the Dominican order, Raymond de Capua, who acted as her mentor and confessor,
she wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">"Build
a cell inside your mind, from which you can never flee." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">However,
this ‘cell’ that Catherine created was a theatre of nonsense and delusions
where her mother was turned into the Virgin Mary, her father was Christ and her
brothers became the apostles. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Like
Saint Teresa she practised self-mortification and fasted to an extreme degree.
Her confessor ordered her to eat properly but in the final year of her life she
could no longer even eat or swallow water; whether this was psychosomatic and a
kind of self-induced mania is unknown but is probably likely. Shortly before
her death she suffered a stroke which paralysed her from the waist down and she
died at the pitiably young age of 33 years old. Here we have to wonder why a
woman could consider it useful to fast and abstain from food and even water to
the point at which she eventually becomes crippled and incapable of even
walking, then dies. There can be nothing inspired from God in any of this and I
find the cases of these women, (some of whom have been canonised and are
recognised as saints of the Catholic church) and those women who were
persecuted and imprisoned as Alumbrados to be one and the same and to be
inspired by a diabolical doctrine which is antagonistic to humanity and the
message and ministry of Jesus Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Catherine
of Sienna was said to give away the clothing and food from her family without
asking their permission and she pointedly refused to eat with her family
claiming she preferred to eat in heaven with her ‘real family’. In her own
writings she also claimed that she was married to Jesus Christ as her mystic
husband and that she had received a ring made of the 8 day old boy Christ’s
foreskin, which of course, was invisible to other people, like Saint Teresa
whose physical Christ companion was also invisible to other people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">What
we are dealing with here are, at best, psychotic delusions or at worst some
kind of genuine contact between a human who has chosen to deprive himself of
psychic protection in order to make contact with what he or she thinks is God,
but something which perhaps does not have their best wishes at heart. Like
those first seen at the beginning of this book with Barbara O’Brien but here we
can trace them to a specific Alumbrado root which in turn has its root in the Chewish community and is likely an externalisation of the community practising
the doctrines of the Kabbalah. It can be no coincidence that the Kabbalah in
its final form also emerged from mediaeval Spain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
result of this pathway seems to hint at a loss of personal volition but more
pertinently, as Molinos records in a letter from “an illuminated Mother of
Cantal wrote to a Sister, and great Servant of God” who is following some kind
of Illuminati doctrine, provides some kind of demonic bridgehead which I would
claim is the purpose of the Jesuit movement and these mystical movements
arising from mediaeval Spain:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“To
this purpose I remember, that a few days since, God communicated to me an
Illumination, which made such an impression upon me, as if I had clearly seen
him; and this it is, That I should never look upon my self, but walk with eyes
shut, leaning on my Beloved, without striving to see nor know the way, by which
he guides me, neither fix my thoughts on any thing, nor yet beg Favours of him,
but as undone in my self, rest wholly and sincerely on him. Hitherto that
Illuminated and Mystical Mistress, whose Words do Credit Authorize our
Doctrine.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But
what is that ‘doctrine’? What has been specifically recorded about the
Alumbrado’s by history? The inquisition found the Alumbrados had some strange
ideas which might conflict with what we today might imagine as a group of
free-thinkers and pleasure seekers, but there seems to be something stranger
and more complex at work. A strange kind of psychological journey which I hope
this volume has at least partially tried to illuminate. It seems, at least from
reports, that the sexual excesses of the Alumbrados and people like Miguel
Molinos and the Kabbalists in general, could be, if Miguel is to be believed, a
result of being wholly under the control of demonic impulsions. Naturally it
might seem like a bit of an easy cop-out to say ‘the devil told me to do it’ as
a way to evade responsibility, but the fact that we see the same trends occur
again and again: the lack of conscious physical control of the body resulting
in various kinds of hysteria and even attempts at levitation indicate that
there is something more than a person’s own will. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">If
one has a difficult time accepting the reality of discarnate spirits, one could
say that subconscious psychological forces may have been unleashed as a result
of the rigours of the various self-mortifications and repeated morbid Jesuit
style visualisations of the horrors and terrors of hell, and that it is this
which may lead to the wanton licentious excesses which the church authorities
reported in connection with Alumbrado doctrines, doctrines which Molinos more
or less explicitly alluded to being a follower of.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
book The Spanish Inquisition, 1478-1614: An Anthology of Sources, compiled and
translated by Lu Ann Homza is an invaluable resource for first-hand recorded
documentation about the Alumbrados. Naturally the information is that which was
recorded by the church authorities and the Inquisition during the court
processes against those Alumbrados suspected of heresy but there are many
witness statements which are brought to bear and feature the words of the
Alumbrados themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">All
in all it paints a strange picture of those involved in the Alumbrados, with
many apparent contradictions in the words of the defendants themselves and
paints a tragic picture of people who, for whatever reason, whether an
intention to subvert Spanish society and the church or from a genuine
experiment in free-thinking, regardless the end result is the same: a picture
of confused, disordered thinking, with some genuine wisdom which appears in
sharp relief to the blurry mental background with a certain sense of emotional
estrangement and likely mental impairment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">In
1525 the Inquisition published an edict on the numerated heresies of the
Alumbrados which had been elicited from Alumbrado members themselves with the
promise that “no punishment, public penance, or confiscation of goods would be
imposed upon them”. The most common response from the church authorities to
each proposition or heresy was a familiar refrain: “This proposition is
erroneous, false, heretical ….” and sometimes with more apt descriptions, in the
instance of proposition 46 “That the end of the world had to occur in twelve
years.” The church authorities were succinct: “This proposition is crazy.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And
indeed, a lot of them are; it really is a poor reflection on your particular
brand of mysticism if you manage to make the Catholic Church look sensible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Some
of the propositions are strange and hint at something almost anti-human; a list
of directions one would follow in order not to take pleasure from life or
possibly, propositions which had been arrived at as a result of a certain
psychological transformation which may indicate some kind of schizoid illness.
How else can one explain such items as proposition 31:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“That

proposition 36: “That a man sinned mortally every time he loved a son,
daughter, or other person, and did not love that person through God.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Or
proposition 40: “Because a girl crossed the street, he said she had
sinned, because in that action she had fulfilled her will.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

number 1 is fairly unambiguous and quite a statement of intent: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“There is no Hell, and if they say there is,
it is to frighten us, just as they tell children, “Watch out for the bogeyman.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is
clear however that anyone believing such a thing in all its bald and unnuanced
simplicity would feel no compulsion to moderate their behaviour and attempt to
lead a good life nor any compunction about leading a bad one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Such
a statement really calls into question the whole of creation itself to some
extent and that, if one is to believe there is a spiritual component to life
and that another state of higher reality exists, then one is hardly likely to
want to spend that in the company of the spirits of evil rogues looking to
continue committing atrocities against their fellow spirits for all eternity.
Clearly there must be some kind of spiritual filtering mechanism and a kind of
like-with-like which is one of the most natural and readily comprehendible
principles of reality, and such a mechanism would necessarily relegate those
with irredeemably malicious or evil inclinations to be with their own kind
where they can furnish and fashion their own mutually unpleasant spiritual
reality. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Proposition
6 reported that one of the Alumbrados:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“…was
sorry he had not sinned more; and knowing what God’s mercy was, he wished he
had sinned more in order to enjoy that mercy more. Because the greater the
sinner, the more God loves him.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">This
Kabbalistic thinking should be very familiar to us by now after reading through
this volume and indicated perhaps, the element of Kabbalistic Chewish ‘Oral
Tradition’ working into Spanish society through the current of those who had
only superficially converted to Christianity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
picture which emerges of the Alumbrados is that they believed themselves
infallible, since according to them: “God could not make a person more perfect
or more humble than he already was,” and also unrepentant of any wrong doings
since “They call those people who lament their sins ‘penance-addicts,’ ‘proprietors
of themselves,’ and ‘weepers.’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">They
also believed that sex was a kind of holy sacrament: “married people were more
united to God while making love than if they had been praying.” And temptation
should be welcomed:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“They
did not have to renounce temptations and evil thoughts, but rather should
embrace them and take them as a burden, and walk onward with this cross.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">This
particular Alumbrado trap is the snare which caught Miguel Molinos and cemented
his reputation as a heretic and caused him to be sentenced to prison where he
died. It is likely that without the stain of personal immorality which cast the
whole of his life’s work into disrepute, his Spiritual Exercises and the
benefits of the kind of transcendental meditation could well have become part
of the liturgy of the Catholic Church and have developed into a useful way to
contact the divine principle for, in the words of Jesus: “…nor will they say,
‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But
pure nonsense cannot survive without the oxygen of truth and like all attempts
at subversion or deceptive stratagems, it is necessary to accompany the lies
with a bodyguard of truth and so this is why within the doctrines of the
Alumbrados we find some very reasonable and evident truths such as Maria de
Cazalla saying of the Catholic Church:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I
believe that the Child Jesus is lost in the sophisms and arguments that you
pronounce.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Or of
her “considering papal bulls, indulgences, and pardons to be a joke, and
believing they benefited no one and achieved nothing, said, ‘Look,
I’ve bought Christianity and am carrying it around, for one is not a
Christian unless you have these bulls; I’d rather throw the money into
something else.’”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">She
was quite right of course, but even now we as a modern reader with a delicate
taste for nuance might detect that the mockery goes a little too far and we can
perhaps detect a veiled disdain not only for the Church but for Christianity
itself. But there is something more, some of Maria de Cazalla’s statements
betray something more than scepticism or irreverence:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“María
de Cazalla and others believed that there was no Mary Magdalene, nor a St. Anne
who married three times, nor were there three Marys; they thought the
whole thing was a joke. When she was told that the Church held such matters as
true, she replied that it was a joke, and some stupid people had so ordered
it….”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">They
seem to indicate a claim to some other information or knowledge since it is
unlikely that most church goers of the time would question such things, but
what if someone were part of a tradition which had its own information about
such things, quite outside of the Catholic Church. Again, the connection to the Chewish community with its own extensive written historical records and oral
traditions would fit this bill perfectly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">But
if the accounts of Maria de Cazalla can’t help but reveal a parallel knowledge-stream
they also show again a certain inhumanity, one would also say, sociopathic or
even borderline psychotic aspect of the Alumbrado tradition. What are we to
make of such statements, which even the dreaded Inquisition rightly described
as ‘horrific’:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“She
heard from Bishop Cazalla that María de Cazalla said she conceived her children
without carnal pleasure and did not love them as if they were her own, but
rather as if they were her neighbors’. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And
another similar reported statement from Maria de Cazalla:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“She
reprehended a certain lady who deeply loved her own children, calling that lady
a butcher of the flesh who had a piece of her heart in each child.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">And
after giving birth, instead of feelings of joy or such as might be normal this
report similarly evokes a singular anti-human perspective:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Likewise,
when asked why people didn’t come to see her after she had given birth,
María de Cazalla said, ‘May God remove that disgrace from me,’ as if she
considered childbirth disgraceful.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">From
this we can create a psychological profile strongly suggestive of Maria de
Cazalla being in the population percentile suffering from a degree of
psychopathy since an inability to feel emotions and even being repelled by them
is a strong marker of such a disorder, also it was reported that “she felt no
carnal pleasure in sex,” a dissociative condition known as sexual anhedonia and
if we factor in this dissociative element we might not be far from the mark if
we consider that Maria de Cazalla may have been a schizophrenic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is
possible however that she was not always like this, reports indicate that
Cazalla was somehow ‘changed’ by conversing with other Alumbrados:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Asked
how she knew that María de Cazalla held the opinions of
the Alumbrados, she said she knew because she saw María de Cazalla
converse in secret with Isabel de la Cruz and Pedro Ruiz de Alcaraz. She saw
them confer night and day, and saw her altered in all her habits and
spiritual exercises, so much so that the needleworkers of Orche said María de
Cazalla was crazy.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-43224217640532833572022-04-18T19:41:00.008+04:002022-04-28T17:49:34.632+04:00Kabbalistic Freemasonry<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09PBXXW63" style="background-color: white; color: #2808ff; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" target="_blank"><img alt="NEW BOOK NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ON KINDLE AND PAPERBACK." height="379" id="Image12_img" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-uhnWReH0O6y8NTbNBmzztp-fou1nuviDBBmRJ3u3gG1_RBgEeXJuldycOBdK0zBVPn3R1S_zMyM9_sgSr2ldgVSv2NqjWnUBt8pVUfEF7ujB4t5hVFLYCPpjCBUc5iyRqqwLJFVWwTo/s379/ELEUSIS+COVER+SMALL.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(230, 230, 230); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 2px; position: relative; visibility: visible;" width="239" /></a>f</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Official history records the first Freemasonic lodge was
founded on the 24th June 1717 at the Goose and Gridiron alehouse in London but
there has been a presence of Freemasonry prior to this date for several hundred
years, perhaps it is only in 1717 that Freemasonry effectively began its slow
emergence from the subterranean underground it had hitherto inhabited and
commenced the next stage of its long term, millennial plan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In his book about ‘The Hiram Key’ Freemason Christopher
Knight states plainly that: “there appears to have been a significant
Freemasonic infrastructure in place in London, well before 1646.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">1646 is a significant date because it is on this date
that the first documented record of someone being initiated into Freemasonry
was made. On 16th October 1646, antiquarian and member of the Royal Society and
later founder of the Oxford Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology at Oxford, Elias
Ashmole in his dairy records:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">"I was made a Free Mason at Warrington in
Lancashire, with Coll: Henry Mainwaring of Karincham in Cheshire.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">At this date during the English Civil War Warrington was
a stronghold of the Parliamentarians and Colonel Henry Mainwaring was a
Roundhead Parliamentarian friend of Ashmole’s father-in-law. Ashmole was
interested in Hermetic studies and Alchemy and published several books on the
subject.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The following is from the website of the Societas
Rosicruciana in Anglia which seems to be some kind of international rival to
the largest Rosicrucian organisation in the word, the mighty AMORC founded in
1915 and preceded by the Societas Rosicruciana which was founded in 1865 by
Robert Wentworth Little and recruits from among Master Masons while AMORC is a
group which seems to require little more than the completion of an online
application from and the payment of annual dues of £246. They seem to organise
open-evenings at UK Friends House, UK headquarters of the Quakers opposite
Euston Station in London and as a Quaker myself I am surprised that they are
happy to throw their lot in with a quasi-Satanic Kabbalistic organisations like
this one, but I also saw Benjamin Crème at Friends House going on about his
daft Maitreya but I suppose he had to pay the Quakers for the use of the room
and presumably they put the money to good use. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Quoting from the Societas Rosicruciana website:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Some Masonic historians believe that modern Speculative
Freemasonry owes much to the Rosicrucian movement. Certainly, the earliest
recorded speculative Freemasons in England, Sir Robert Moray and Elias Ashmole,
if not themselves Rosicrucians, were deeply interested in Rosicrucian
philosophy and ideals – ideals that perhaps provided their motive for
establishing The Royal Society. The Rosicrucian Society of England was founded
in 1867 by the freemason Robert Wentworth Little and six other brethren
following the discovery of certain manuscripts in the archives of Grand Lodge.
Many eminent and scholarly masons have been members of the Order.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Initiated into Freemasonry in 1771 the German poet
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in 1778 wrote five dialogues on Freemasonry entitled:
"Ernst und Falk: Conversations for Freemasons." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">From Secret Societies and Subversive Movements:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The dialogues between Ernst and Falk throw a curious
light on the influences at work behind Freemasonry at this period and gain
immensely in interest when the identity of the two men in question is
understood. Thus Ernst, by whom Lessing evidently represents himself, is at the
beginning not a Freemason, and, whilst sitting with Falk in a wood, questions
the high initiate on the aims of the Order. Falk explains that Freemasonry has
always existed, but not under this name. Its real purpose has never been
revealed. On the surface it appears to be a purely philanthropic association,
but in reality philanthropy forms no part of its scheme, its object being to
bring about a state of things which will render philanthropy unnecessary…As an
illustration Falk points to an ant-heap at the foot of the tree beneath which
the two men are seated. ‘Why,’ he asks, ‘should not human beings exist without
government like the ants or bees?’ Falk then goes on to describe his idea of a
Universal State, or rather a federation of States, in which men will no longer
be divided by national, social, or religious prejudices, and where greater
equality will exist.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">What is interesting again is that same refrain, the same
tune and the same words, whether it be spoken by elite Chewish Freemasons or
messages apparently beamed into people’s heads by aliens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In the dialogues is the hint that Freemasonry is
controlled by something far older and most Freemasons have no idea what is
really happening or what they are involved with. And that as Falk himself as a Chew, does not attend Masonic lodges and that Freemasonry does not exist in an
‘outward form’ and he says:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“A lodge bears the same relation to Freemasonry as a
church to belief." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">And Webster Nesta’s comments:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“In other words, the real initiates do not appear upon
the scene. Here then we see the role of the "Concealed Superiors." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It seems clear then that it is made explicit that Falk,
as a Kabbalist Chew, is one of the elect ‘concealed superiors’ of Freemasonry,
however he does not attend the lodges and exist as a ‘hidden master’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Freemason Andrew Michael Ramsey states that
Freemasonry was created by the Crusader knights, stating that medieval
crusaders, likely the Knights Templar, founded Freemasonry. But there is a myth
of an even earlier foundation according to Freemason Henrik Bogdan in his paper
entitled An Introduction to the High Degrees of Freemasonry:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The name Heredon, more commonly spelled as Heredom (and
sometimes as Harodim), is the name given to a mythical mountain supposed to
exist north of Kilwinning, Scotland. According to a Masonic myth, associated
particularly with Ecossais Masonry, the Masons were driven away from Jerusalem
after the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem and subsequently found their
way to this mountain in Scotland. They remained on this mountain until the time
of the Crusades.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Lodge Mother Kilwinning is generally held to be the
oldest Masonic lodge in the world and has its origins in the 12th Century,
almost 500 years prior to Freemasonry’s supposed creation in London at the
Apple Tree Tavern in 1716. Freemasonry in Scotland supposedly developed under
the reign of King David I and the Heredom degree with a Rosy Cross degree
originating in 1314 following the Battle of Bannockburn which has long been
rumoured to have been decisively won in Scotland’s favour due to the
intercession of a band of mysterious knights who may have been the Knights
Templar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">One of the earliest known reference to the Rosicrucians
was in a poem The Muses Threnodie from 1638 by Scotsman<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Henry Adamson:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“For we be brethren of the Rosie Crosse,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have the Mason
word, and second sight,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Things for to come we can foretell aright..”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Robert Fludd wrote several works on the Rosy Cross in the
early 17th century; Fludd has also been called ‘the Father of Freemasonry’.
Robert Fludd spent time studying with the Jesuits in Pyrenees. His theory of
the ‘tripartite’ nature of creation where he believes that ‘the divine light’
was the active agent responsible for creation and that the sun literally
contains the ‘Spirit of the Lord’ and that this same ‘spirit’ circulates
through man is interesting and predates my own and other theories of the true
nature of light as the transcendent God element of reality and my own writing
where I indicate that the sun is a portal connecting this higher subatomic
realm of infinite God energy and sending it out into our material realm to
populate the universe with life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">A very early Rosicrucian illustration from 1604 shows the
‘Tree of Sophia’ and bears a strong concordance with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life
is also annotated with Hebrew characters. Robert Fludd was also said to have
been a Kabbalist. The famous satirist writer of Gulliver’s Travels and
Freemason Jonathan Swift writes of the history of Masonry in Scotland:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The famous old Scottish lodge of Kilwinnin of which all
the Kings of Scotland have been from Time to Time Grand Masters without
interruption, down from the days of Fergus, who reigned more than 2000 years
ago, long before the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem or the Knights of Malta,
to which lodges I nevertheless allow the Honour of having adorned the Antient Chewish and Pagan Masonry with Religious and Christian Rules.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">He also makes an allusion to Rosicrucians and expressly
associates it with Kabbalah:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Fergus…was carefully instructed in all the Arts and
Sciences, especially in the Natural Magick, and the Caballistical Philosophy
(afterwards called the Rosecrution) by the Pagan Druids of Ireland and Mona,
the only true Caballists then Extant in the Western World… I am told by Men of
Learning that the Occult as well as Moral Philosophy of all the Pagans was well
besprinkled and enrich’d from the Caballistical School of the Patriarchs…and
Rabbins.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Laurence Dermott Irish Grand Secretary of the ‘antient’
movement of Freemasonry of the middle of the 18th century also refers to a Kabbalistic
tradition endemic and perhaps fundamental to Freemasonry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“…that at Solomon’s Temple (and not before) it received
the Name of Free-Masonry, because the Masons at Jerusalem and Tyre were the
greatest Cabalists* then in the World; that the Mystery has been, for the most
Part, practiced amongst Builders since Solomon’s Time.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">From the excellent researcher Marsha Schuchard in her
article about Scottish Kabbalistic Freemasonry:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“….his reference to Ramon Lull provides a good starting
point for my narrative, which will chronologically trace some “ancient” sources
of the ‘Antients.’ Why did Swift assert that the teachings of Lull, the
13th-century Spanish mystic and polymath, could provide a key to the very
essence of Masonry?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lull had drawn on
Cabalistic and Sufi mystical teachings to develop mnemonic and meditation
techniques that made possible encyclopedic learning and architectural
visualization, which he believed were useful accomplishments for stonemasons
and other craftsmen, and for his friends among the crusading Knights Templar,
who could thus become ‘illuminated’ knights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">To develop the Art of Memory, Lull drew upon the
meditation techniques of Chewish Merkabah mysticism and the Sepher Yetzirah, in
which the adept rebuilds the Temple of Jerusalem in his imagination. As the Art
developed, it involved the visualization of a building, palace, or temple in
which images of intellectual concepts, historical facts, and/or geometrical
relations were placed in special rooms, which facilitated their permanent placement
in the initiate’s memory and mind. In a condensed and simplified form, it was
useful to the operative mason’s ability to visualize complex geometrical and
structural relations through architectural imaging. The intense mental
concentration sometimes produced a trance state, in which some practitioners
believed that they achieved prophetic vision or ‘second sight.’”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">We find something like an ‘agenda’ of the Rosicrucians
made explicit in the Confessio Fraternitatis printed in 1615:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">"What think you, loving people, and how seem you
affected, seeing that you now understand and know, that we acknowledge
ourselves truly and sincerely to profess Christ, condemn the Pope, addict
ourselves to the true Philosophy, lead a Christian life, and daily call, entreat
and invite many more unto our Fraternity, unto whom the same Light of God
likewise appeareth?"<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The anti-Catholic tenor ought to intrigue us and perhaps
could be part of the demonstrated movement to destroy Christianity piecemeal by
first dividing it with schism and then opposing the arms of Catholics and
Protestants against each other, at least this is what we can ascertain if we
plot the activities of the international merchant class from the period of
Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell through the various revolutionary movements
culminating, at least for now in the Russian Revolution. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Martin Luther’s personal insignia was a rose with a cross
inside indicating that he too was a Rosicrucian. Just to make it clear I am not
a Catholic and have no particular allegiance, I am however a Christian. What I
query is that although the protestant reformation led to many good things for
Christian expression it also very severely weakened Christianity as a global
force able to defend its nations and empires. We are now, unfortunately, living
in a world where we have been subjected totally by the banking fraternity and
have had no institution to defend against them for a couple of hundred years.
Now that their financial and political dominance over us is absolute, they are
now attacking our social and moral values, and again, we have no institution
able to defend our moral values, our culture and history from attack. None of
this would have been possible without the first cracks being made into the
edifice of the Church and the final fatal splitting of schism. It is my belief
that the Rosicrucian agenda was precisely this and it is they, as precursors to
the Freemasons and as Kabbalists taught by Chews, whose purpose it was to
undertake the first steps in the long-term goal of subjugating the West by
first encouraging division in the church. Although with the benefit of
hindsight we can clearly see that the Catholic Church has behaved in the
tyrannical and despotic manner of an institution whose primary goal is the
maintenance of its own power base and orthodoxy at all cost, even at the
expense of directly contradicting Jesus and his Earthly ministry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">We can find further clues connecting Rosicrucianism with Chewish identity in the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz. The story
begins at the end of Passover followed by Chag HaMatzoty the seven days of unleavened
bread and the chemical wedding coincides with the end of this period and the roasting
of the Paschal lamb.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The story is full of allegory and numerological codes and
while it superficially presents itself from a Judeo-Christian perspective it is
secretly extolling the Kabbalah. The seven days before the ‘wedding’, which had
been identified as a Christian allegory of the creation of the world and the
‘wedding’ to superficial appearance is a Christian allegory based on the
wedding at Canaan and Jesus describing himself as the bridegroom, but in this
case the number seven refers to the seven movements along the Kabbalistic tree
of life and the ‘wedding’ is a reference to the union of the ‘bride’ or
Malkuth, the human station of the Tree of Life, with an aspect of the divine
emanation, mentioned in the key Kabbalistic text the Zohar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Rosicrucian Jack Courtis goes into great detail analysing
the Chymical Wedding and his commentary can be found at: </span><a href="https://www.crcsite.org/rosicrucian-library/chymical-wedding-guide8/"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">https://www.crcsite.org/rosicrucian-library/chymical-wedding-guide8/</span></a><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Chymical as in ‘chemical’ refers to alchemy; it is
unknown at what point in history chemists had the idea that they could draw
parallels between the outer manifestation and results of their chemistry
experiments and the inner changes of mind and consciousness which these early
scientists experienced as part of their occult practices. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Zosimus of Panopolis was an Egyptian Gnostic mystic born
in the late 3rd Century. In him we perhaps see the release of some of the great
alchemical secrets of the Ancient Egyptian Priesthood. Zosimos provided one of
the first definitions of alchemy as the study of "the composition of
waters, movement, growth, embodying and disembodying, drawing the spirits from
bodies and bonding the spirits within bodies." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">He also wrote in ambiguous terms typical of the study of
alchemy:</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The symbol of chemistry is drawn from the creation by
its adepts, who cleanse and save the divine soul bound in the elements, and who
free the divine spirit from its mixture with the flesh.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This book Azoth of the Philosophers by the legendary
German alchemist Basil Valentine, appeared in the 16th Century but was
ostensibly written by a 15th century German Benedictine Canon. There is some
doubt as to the true identity of the writer of the Azoth of the Philosophers
but it would accord with the ancient trend of not a scientific priesthood which
is what we have in the present age, but a priesthood of scientists fusing
spiritual and material phenomenon in fascinating and remarkable ways. This is
also one of the reasons why we the modern scholar finds Alchemy so seemingly
obstruse, because we are used to the separation of church and science. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">As the originator of Alchemical lore in the West his work
is crucial in setting the standard and influence the develop of both physical
and hermetic science all throughout the middle-ages and even until the dawn of
the Enlightenment at which point science had started to become industrialised
and was beginning to separate from the hermetic lore into the study solely of
the physical characteristics of matter apart from any spiritual influence. It
is interesting that this break seemed universal, splitting at the seams where
the spiritual domain meets the material and it was largely through the work of
heretical scientists such as Giordano Bruno, Gallileo and Tycho Brahe, all whom
were hermetic scientists who markedly signalled their break with the orthodoxy
of the church.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is only in fairly modern times that science has
removed itself from the spiritual psychic realm and historically speaking, this
is very much an aberration from what had been normal understanding of reality
for thousands of years. Science, until the modern area of industrialisation:
where scientific experiments started to be produced and reproduced without any
of the trappings of spiritual exhortations or divine intervention, was usually
part of the religious world so in Ancient Egypt for instance, Sekhmet was the
patron of doctors and they were her priests. Science was usually knowledge,
discovered by and carefully guarded and used by ancient religious cults. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Ammonium for instance, takes its name from the Ancient
Egyptian horned God Amun in whose name a Temple was constructed which Alexander
the Great famously visited to consult the oracle there and had his ‘divinity’
and his legitimacy as Pharoah confirmed. The temple is at the oasis area around
the town of Siwa in the far west of Egypt on the border of Libya, in the midst
of the desert, and since ammonium was also extracted by the Arabs from camel
dung it was thought that the presence of ammonium chloride in the sands of Siwa
was a result of the micturition of innumerable camels throughout history as
their owners prayed at the shrine. The more likely reality is that Siwa is
located in a depression of the Earth in an area in which water flows abundantly
from the ground and ammonium chloride and other salts are washed out of the
deep earth and are a geological feature independent of the presence of
thousands of urinating camels stretching back through the corridors of time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Ammonia chloride was considered by the alchemists to be
one of the four alchemical ‘spirits’ because of its corrosive properties and
suggested an ability to melt metals from one form to another. It was also used
by the priests in their various rites of Amun, and since ammonium is highly
flammable and commonly used in explosive and rocket fuel, one can well imagine
what kind of apparently magical use the priests might have made of it to awe
and astonish those attending their rituals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The priests also used their knowledge of chemistry in
initiation rites and ‘the mysteries’. They used the deadly toxin Anthrax daubed
on statues of Sekhmet, to strike down with a curse, anyone so profane to
importune the formidable Goddess. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In the Ancient Greek rites of Eleusis, the one to be
initiated: the mystae, would be instructed to fast prior to the unveiling of
the mystery and was given a strongly psychoactive brew called kykeon on an
empty stomach, before witnessing whatever special effects show the priests had
prepared for them, in order to convince him he had witnessed the activities of
the Gods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The kykeon was made from water, barley, mint and most
likely ergot fungus, from which LSD was later synthesised by Albert Hoffman in
1938, and the initiate would likely have had little understanding of the
bio-chemical composition of the brew and little suspected he was being drugged,
and even if he were aware of the importance of the kykeon to the experience he
would probably not have been able to scientifically understand the process since
even alcohol was imbibed with the belief that intoxication was possession by
the spirit of Dionysus and was still a quasi-spiritual experience so even if
the initiate did suspect that the kykeon had caused a change in his perception
of reality he would still be expected to ascribe it to some kind of divine
agency, perhaps this is why alcohol is known as spirits, well actually I know
that this isn’t the reason, but it ought to be.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">While the mystae would be caught up in the transformative
experience and was no doubt struggling with his new reality of Gods, Goddesses
and whatever else was being transmitted to him by the mystery play, the
priesthood understood the process scientifically and it had probably been
accidentally discovered in the unrecorded forgotten tides of history that
certain barley grains with a strange little spur of fungus on them could
produce specific effects on the perception of reality of the person it was
administered to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The mystae likely took it all at face value, since to not
do so would be to profane the mysteries and render the whole thing ineffectual:
since the intention was to create a permanent change in the mind of the
initiate and convince him that he had genuinely witnessed supernatural events
and the otherworldly feelings of derealisation which the psychoactive compounds
in the kykeon provoke, may have convinced him that he himself had undergone
some change of state: that he may have died for instance and entered hell. Dr
Abram Hoffer’s research into schizophrenia indicates that schizophrenia is
caused by adrenochrome, which is a psycho-active psychedelic compound and the
symptoms of schizophrenia or psychotic episodes are indistinguishable from a
psychedelic experience. It is a common delusion amongst schizophrenics that
they exist in a different state of reality to other people; that for some
reason they are being dragged into hell. The Cotard delusion is the belief that
they have already died in some literal sense and although they appear to be
alive, they themselves believe they have died and are living in some kind of
post-mortem purgatory. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Such people are dangerous for civilised society as
demonstrated by a fairly high-profile example of the Cotard delusion in the
person of Norwegian black-metal singer ‘Dead’ alias Per Ohlin. He had a
fascination with death and would throw rotting pig heads into the crowd at
their live shows to drive away what they considered poseurs. He would bury his
clothes underground so they started to rot and he would wear these ‘grave
clothes’ and he would also <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>keep dead and
rotting animals at home under his bed. He committed suicide at 22 and his
suicide note read:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I am not a human being. This is just a dream, and soon I
will wake up.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This act resulted in his fans and supporters committing a
wave of arsons of old wooden Stave churches across Norway including the Fantoft
Stave Church which was nearly a thousand years old and was burned to the ground
by black metal artist Varg Vikernes, his real name, the much less Nordic Louis
Cachet and by 1996 there had been 50 such attacks as well as a series of
murders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It seems peculiar that these black-metal followers would
burn down churches. What threat do they represent in these days? Clearly none,
so there is obviously something else, an ideological reason: Satanism. Who
benefits from burning down churches? If there is a genuine spiritual battle
taking place on Earth and if one is in the service of a Satanic force which is
antagonistic to humanity and its well-being, then burning down a beautiful and
unique ancient wooden church would make sense.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This is a demonstration of the kind of obvious dangers
which depersonalisation delusions can provoke, and so any religious
organisation or cult which practices such a thing is playing with a very
dangerous material: the human mind, and since such rituals have been taking
place for thousands of years and continue to take place within Freemasonry and
appendant cults, then how many of these ‘depersonalised’, deluded people, who
believe they are in hell or living as a dead man in an unreal world of
illusions, might be among us?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Such rituals have been used over the ages to create a
certain kind of person. One specific cult which used drugs and elaborate staged
performances to convince the mystae that he had died were those carried out by
Hassan Ibn Sabbah’s Assassins. Marco Polo wrote that Sabbah created a garden of
paradise in a hidden valley with real streams or milk, wine and honey, flowing
in every direction from secret conduits built inside palaces, and also the
availability of beautiful women which no doubt provided some kind of motivation
to believe the delusion and convince the mystae that he had died and was in
heaven and that Lord Hassan had power over him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Masonry is said to be a science, from the Latin ‘scire’
to know, and for many years was probably the most overt demonstration of art
and technological development in society. The construction of the great gothic
churches required the mastery of many elements of what we call science:
primarily of mathematics, engineering, and mechanical physics. This wedding of
science to religion which had been common in the ancient world continued into
the early middle-ages to the late middle-ages with clergy-scientists such as
father of the scientific method Roger Bacon, Copernicus and Ramon Lull, who is
said to have been the originator of computation theory where he designed the
first truth-tables which are the basis of a computational logic-gate based
system which he later made into a analogue computer made of paper, on how to
win religious arguments against Muslims. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In the modern age I would include Nikola Tesla as a
scientist who was directly inspired by the spiritual realm and this is
something he himself <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>acknowledged. The
similarity between his methods and those used by the early Masons being the creation
a ‘mind-palace’ in which to visualise the construction as a mental prototype,
except to Nikola Tesla the devices he created appeared to arrive fully formed
straight into his mind delivered fresh from the realm of light. Tesla had been
musing on the setting sun and was reminded of a poetic passage from Goethe’s
Faust describing the new voyages of the retreating sun which he started quoting
for his friend with whom he was walking:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“As I uttered these inspiring words the idea came like a
flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed. I drew with a
stick on the sand the diagrams shown six years later in my address before the
American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and my companion understood them
perfectly. The images I saw were wonderfully sharp and clear and had the
solidity of metal and stone, so much so that I told him: ‘See my motor here;
watch me reverse it.’ I cannot begin to describe my emotions. Pygmalion seeing
his statue come to life could not have been more deeply moved. A thousand
secrets of nature which I might have stumbled upon accidentally I would have
given for that one which I had wrested from her against all odds and at the
peril of my existence.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is interesting that Tesla was musing on the sun and
quoting Faust, in a manner of speaking he was making an invocation to the sun,
the source of all light and was answered with his greatest wish: the secrets of
the electrical AC motor which remains his greatest achievement and perhaps the
greatest invention of the 20th Century, were given to him in a flash of light.
Perhaps in this instance we witness the ancient scientific methods of divine
inspiration rewarding the faithful adepts who know how to give the Gods their
due praise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Tesla claimed he was born during a lightning storm and
throughout his whole life he would be subject to attacks of intense bright
flashes of light invading his mind and causing hallucinations; it is possible
that in some sense, Tesla was highly charged with EM energy, as we all are
since EM energy is what animates us: driving the processes of our body, keeping
our heart pumping and being the very stuff of our thoughts and our minds. The
Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated that life on Earth was likely a result of
electro-static discharges impacting inorganic gasses such as methane, ammonia
and hydrogen which resulted in the production of the building blocks of life:
amino acids, which are the first level of organic compounds. This demonstrates
that the animating organic factor of life comes from electricity which is a
form of light.<o:p></o:p></span></p>Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-468429595129325192022-03-08T20:10:00.018+04:002022-04-07T10:08:15.916+04:00Flat Earth beliefs and schizoid psychosis in the 'Truth Community'.<p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Something which isn’t part of the public record however is the life and
experience of a former member of the Illuminati known as Mauri. These days with
the mass censorship of the internet a great deal of knowledge is being lost
since website such as hers no longer appear to be indexed in Google searches.
In fact, it is not only conspiracy websites which no longer appear in Google
searches but any website or forum which is not part of the mainstream media.
The result is that anything you tend to search for now usually elicits a page
full of mainstream sources quoting an identical chunk of text, usually farmed
from Wikipedia. It goes without saying that this is Orwellian in the extreme
but this is the natural result of media and big-tech companies working hand-in-hand
with government agendas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The mainstream media were dying: print sales and television viewing on
decline, meanwhile governments have their nefarious agendas and the internet
was previously a venue where the internet’s vox populi could lead the debate
and challenge government lies and misinformation, forcing deep-state operatives
like Hilary Clinton to repeatedly make shrill noises about conspiracy theories
and declare ‘we are losing the info-war’. Well they were, and they were good
times, but it is a war which through sheer muscle of money and perhaps too many
newly arrived bovine internetizens who care more about make-up tutorials and
Amazon’s Prime-Day sales, than sharing information, cheering a sheepish
approval at denying free-speech and internet hosting services being denied to
certain tactically positioned agent provocateurs like Andrew Anglin, then we
are now refugees and guerrillas trying to find somewhere to hide from the
conquering army of relentless censorship. Andrew Anglin, or Andre as he used to
be known on the old David Icke forum, was a left-winger living in the far-east
deploring ‘white people’ for all the problems of the world and extolling a
mixing of the races. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">This information has long gone but it certainly
ought to make us suspicious of Andrew Anglin’s 180 degree political heel-turn
and if we consider perhaps that without his website and its deliberately and
needlessly provocative articles cynically engineered to be as offensive as
possible, then we might wonder whether he was the necessary ‘problem reaction
solution’ agent required to instigate the avalanche of relentless internet
censorship of which his de-platforming seemed to be the signal governments and
the tech agencies had been waiting for.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">So websites like reflectionsinthedark.com linger like virtual phantoms,
the only way to find them is by knowing they are there in the first place.
Google these days certainly has no intention of taking you to them, even if you
were to fill in exactly the relevant search terms you would still find yourself
being directed to a mainstream news website or else a website specifically
debunking and attacking what you had just typed in. So for instance typing the
search terms ‘Illuminati, Nazi, UFO’s’ which in the past would have served up
Mauri’s website on the first page or at worst the second page now gives you
results from Amazon.com, Popular Mechanics, Ebay, the BBC, Wikipedia, NBC news,
the Washington Post and even the CIA. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Basically all of the media and
information control outlets with the most money to field your query and refute
it without you ever having had the chance to glimpse an honest response as used
to be the case. The kind of responses we used to have for such a query might be
a page from a discussion forum specifically dedicated to investigating the
subject, or a website dedicated to researching the topic or an individual’s
personal account of something similar or connected to the broad themes. Clearly
this was a much better way to get to the bottom of subject, rather than to be presented
a politically motivated and corporate sponsored refutation of the query terms.
These kind of websites were always top in the search results over the
mainstream media because the mainstream media were losing ground to the expert
analysis which easy communication between interested parties and experts had
made possible, as a result these websites and forums grew until they had
thousands of members online and millions of views.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Mauri hasn’t published anything for eight years and I have twice
attempted to contact her without success, asking for clarification about her
experiences as a ‘grey alien’ which she goes into as being part of her duties
as a member of a multi-generational Illuminati family.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">“The grey alien is a creation of Nazi innovation. An alien being
was needed to accompany the secret advanced flying machines made during WWII in
Germany, which after the war developed into the Nazi UFO hoax in America. What
was their secret formula in creating the grey aliens? Let’s start with the
stocking mask. It turns out the nylon stocking was useful for more than just a
gift to the ladies. The stocking contorts the face down to the bones and
removes a person’s individual facial features. The ears become just two
holes and the nose (on a child) becomes two nostrils instead. The mouth becomes
a nonfunctional slit. And the eyes disappear altogether. Why it makes you
look almost alien; except for the eyes. One could add a nice pair of WWII army
surplus goggles to hide the lack of eyes. Oh wait; if one hides the
elastic on the goggles, each lens (which is almond shaped) becomes an
eye. Cool! If the stocking is wrapped around the head, covering the
hair, the head becomes bigger and bald. Add a little white bath powder to blend
it all together. And, oh did I mention that the Nazis liked to use children,
specifically little girls. The Nazis were not only innovative; they were
cheap. The little grey alien doesn’t even get clothes, but has to run
around in the cold night air naked. Berrrrr.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The grey aliens were a part of a larger program of mind control,
especially of cult-connected members (victims.) No one comes back from an
abduction with anything good to say about grey aliens because they were a
substitute in what used to be “Satan” programming, as in Satan is watching you,
only now it’s the greys and they are inserting implants and watching
you. Same difference. Both Satan and grey aliens also like animal
mutilations, not to mention both are involved in the sexual creation of
hybrids, Satan-human and alien-human. Who would like an alien that mimics
Satan? Actually I consider that view unfair. When I was a grey alien I
just stood there, cold and scared, ready to piss in my pants, if I had been
allowed to wear them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">With the Earth going to hell as we speak, the Nazis have supplied us
with an otherworld salvation, about which we have a choice. We can all form a
One World Government to fight the alien invasion, or we can all form a One
World Government to follow our alien overlords, it’s up to you.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">It is your prerogative whether you believe Mauri or not, but I think the
people who listen to these stories of ritual Satanic Illuminati abuse and
mind-control and quickly dismiss them are certainly at a disadvantage in this
present age of endless deception. I also think that many of the former
Illuminati insiders such as her and Svali, believed the Illuminati were a
far-right Nazi organisation and that it controlled the world, but it has become
obvious in recent years that Nazis, white people and the far-right have no role
in world control and probably never did: the real operators have become
exceedingly clear and it is only the willfully deluded, apathetically ignorant
and cowardly souls who do not wish to accept this reality. It is likely that
‘The Illuminati’, like the Freemasons, is a sub-group which is used to control
those non-Jews whose cooperation and servitude is essential for the continually
unfolding of the Jewish agenda of world domination which is just about reaching
its apotheosis. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The amount of anti-white hatred which the media and politicians
are willingly engaged in is only the first step of what I fear will eventually
become acts of mass violence against white people. Such things are already
taking place in the United States and we have seen how white-children are being
sexually groomed and trafficked by Pakistani gangs, with a blind-eye being
turned by the police and even the arrests of white girls who report their abuse
to the police. It has already reached the point in the United States and to a
lesser extent in the UK, where the media are inciting minorities against white
people and when crimes are perpetrated against white people the police and
courts will tend to side against them. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">There are so many examples but I don’t
want to sully this book by getting into these most unpleasant events, suffice
it to say, this is just the beginning of something which if it reaches its
logical conclusion can only end in some kind of mass genocide or ethnic
civil-war, or else some kind of sustained oppression of white people as
permanent second-class citizens in education, employment and cultural and
political representation. In many ways we have already reached this point in

by the media, criminal justice system and politicians, remains to be seen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a matter of survival as many of those unfortunates who trustingly took the
various Covid 19 ‘vaccines’ on offer might be discovering to their cost as they
deal with a variety of long-term side-effects or even the death of their loved
ones, but here again the media is in full control of the message, and will not
tell you anything about these instances unless you already know where to look.
I would say these big-tech censors and their ubiquitous agents along with those
working for the mainstream media have blood on their hands and perhaps within
their lifetimes they will have their complicity revealed to the world and will
have to live with the consequences of ‘just following orders’ which apparently
wasn’t a valid excuse during the Nuremberg trials and shouldn’t be now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

first Chew to be knighted who had come to England with William of Orange as
army contractor to William III. He too possessed an extensive intelligence
network which was much better than the government’s. John Churchill, ancestor
of Winston Churchill was said to be much in debt to Solomon’s intelligence
network for his victories against the French King Louis XIV and his extensive
campaigns in Europe, in addition to receiving funding for his campaigns and
provisions for his troops from him. Like the Cromwell’s family ongoing
relationship with international merchants and bankers the Churchill family,
culminating of course in the life of Winston Churchill, effectively became
servants of internationalist Zionist interests to the detriment of European and
British interests.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the loss of the British empire, the destruction of Europe and massive loss
of life and the creation of the state of Israel. Hitler had sued for peace and
promised he was committed to the continuance of the British Empire and would
use his armies to defend it provided he would be given a free-hand in the East
to deal with the international threat of Communism, but the war had been
arranged by the very forces behind the creation of Communism and the timeline
of revolution, the murder of Christian monarchs, the destruction of the
Christian religion and the massacres of large numbers of Christian people under
one pretext or the other.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

England describes Churchill as:</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">“..among the best friends the Chews ever had as a British political
leader..” which is high praise since the bar of British leaders historically
serving Chewish interests is pretty high indeed. He is further described as:
“an absolutely consistent supporter of the Chews and of Zionism throughout his
lengthy career.” Churchill’s father Lord Randolph Churchill was friends with
the Rothschild banking dynasty and his son Winston was friends with James and
Dorothy de Rothschild.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">In his book Churchill and the Chews, Martin Gilbert quotes a popular
clubland jibe of the time that Randolph Churchill only had Chewish friends and
goes on to portray how closely intertwined the Churchill and Rothschild
families had become: the young Churchill being classmates with the young
Nathaniel Rothschild at Harrow school and it seemed that throughout his early
life the Rothschild families were to be relied upon to help Winston and he
wrote in a letter to his mother how he wished to work as a newspaper
war-correspondent: ‘Lord Rothschild would be the person to arrange this for
me’. His finances were also managed and investments made for him by another Chew,
Sir Ernest Cassel at no charge. Throughout his early life Cassel continually
made gifts to Churchill of money, shares and even a library for his London
flat. It is clear from this relationship that Churchill even at this early
stage in is life was a kept-man and totally dependent on Chews for his career
and finances.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">At 27 Churchill became MP for North West Manchester where he represented
a constituency with a majority of Chews and campaigned vociferously and wrote a
letter against a bill to prevent Chewish exiles coming from Tsarist Russia. The
Sun newspaper at the time alleged that Churchill had been specifically
instructed by his friend Lord Rothschild to write the letter. Major Williams
Evans-Gordon, one of the Grand Committee members on the creation of the bill
stated that Churchill: “was faithfully carrying out the instructions he had
received for the party for which he was acting.”</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Despite having a habit of losing elections, and moving from the
Conservative to Liberal party and later, back again, in order to fuel his
ambitions, Churchill found himself being shuffled into a safe Liberal seat and
in 1910 was made home-secretary. There is something of the hidden hand moving
the Winston Churchill chess-piece into ever higher positions of power despite
having no qualifications or apparent aptitude for any of the roles except, and
solely perhaps, his adoration and defence of the Chewish people along with his
friendship with the Rothschilds.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Churchill’s conveniently positioned hand seemed to be present at every
stage in the growing effort to establish a Chewish homeland in the Middle-East.
For instance, he ensured that the arch-Zionist Theodor Herzl’s son Hans was
naturalised a British citizen at the start of World War 1; Churchill had also
signed the naturalisation papers of Chaim Weizmann, a Chewish chemist who was
instrumental in the creation of the state of Israel by creating new techniques
of agriculture and went on to become the first president of Israel and
according to conventional history, it was he who convinced the United States to
recognise the state of Israel. It is far more likely that this is just
historical embroidery to add to his image since we can surmise that by this
time, after world revolutions and two deliberately engineered world wars the
creation of Israel was already a foregone conclusion, it only needed the
tireless activity of bought and paid for agents like Churchill to make it
happen.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Lenin was almost the only leader of the central committee to not be of
explicitly Chewish origin although declassified KGB files revealed that Lenin’s
maternal grandfather was Chewish. Martin Gilbert does not shy away from the
prominent part the Chews had played in the rise of Bolshevism and the Russian
Revolution and quotes Churchill stating ‘Bolshevism is a Chewish movement’ and
Gilbert writes “he knew the significant part individual Chews had played in
establishing and maintain the Bolshevik regime.” Churchill also wrote in a 1920
article for British newspaper The Illustrated Sunday Herald entitled: Zionism
versus Bolshevism, a Struggle for the Soul of the Chewish People, that Chews
held a prominent role in the Soviet machinery and listed the Chews who held
real power and the names of those non-Chews whom they presided over and that
the ‘prominent, if not indeed the principal, part in the system of terrorism
applied by the Extraordinary Commissions for Combatting Counter-Revolution (the
CHEKA) has been taken by Chews, and in some notable cases, by Chewesses.’
Although Felix Dzerkinsky, the head of the CHEKA and one of the architects of
the Red Terror, was only half Chewish through his father, although like so many
of the primary Soviets like Stalin, his wife Zofia was Chewish. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Churchill also noted that Chewish businesses and places of worship had
been exempted from the fury the Bolsheviks had meted out to Christian Russians
and noted that there was a danger that people may begin to associate Chews with
the crimes of Bolshevism. Churchill was strongly under the impression that
there were ‘good Chews and bad Chews’ and indeed, this was one of the subheadings
of his article; he didn’t see, or chose not to see, that all of their
activities were actually part of one continuous all-encompassing world agenda.
Had this not been the case then perhaps the Soviet Union would not have been
the first country to officially recognise the state of Israel.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">In 1922 the Liberal Party lost the general election and Churchill lost
his hitherto safe Liberal seat at Dundee and was reduced to scrabbling around
trying to make himself relevant again and finding a way back into the House of
Commons. At this time, he had acquired the well-earned reputation that during
the war he had done the bidding of rich Chews for nefarious purposes. Lord
Alfred Douglas accused Churchill of being involved in a scam to misrepresent
the results of the Battle of Jutland in 1916 in order to drive down the stock
market and purchase stock; Churchill then delivered a second message
representing the outcome of the battle in much more positive terms, driving up
the price of the stocks which had lately been driven down and purchased by
Churchill’s Chewish conspirators and then sold for enormous profit.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Churchill was saved from total political eclipse by his Chewish owners
when vice-president of the Board of Deputies of British Chews and chairman of
British Shell, Robert Waley Cohen chose him to act as an intermediary with the
government between the merger of two oil companies, one of which was owned by
the British government (indeed it was Churchill who had ten years previously
negotiated its purchase): the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

himself back in favour and after losing yet another election, was gifted the
safe Conservative seat of Epping and was promptly made Chancellor of the
Exchequer. One can now understand what might have qualified Winston Churchill,
and perhaps any Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom, to this
high-office: a close and intimate friendship with the Rothschilds. Former
Chancellor George Osborne had a close friendship with Nat Rothschild, so too
did Peter Mendelsohn, the Minister without portfolio under Tony Blair’s Labour
administration who, like Churchill with his repeated failures and scandals, was
somehow always placed back on the politics chessboard despite being universally
unpopular and even suspected of some of the worst possible crimes against
children.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">There was a period during the first term of Blair’s New Labour
government during which there was said to have been a paedophile minister in
the Blair government but all subsequent reporting had been hit with a
government D notice making it a matter of national security that the story be
squashed. Incidentally Mendelsohn was also close friends with disgraced Chewish
paedophile and blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Norman Lamont before becoming Chancellor under John Major’s Conservative
premiership had worked for NM Rothschild bank in London and became director of
Rothschild Asset Management. It seems clear to me that the role of Chancellor
of Exchequer is to serve as a medium between the Rothschilds and the British
government and to ensure that Chewish money continues to flow into the Bank of
England. Prior to this, and the earliest Chancellor I remember from my lifetime
was Nigel Lawson, himself born to a wealthy Chewish family heavily involved in
world finance with his father the owner of a London commodity trading firm and
his mother from a family of stockbrokers. Perhaps this might be the easiest way
to convince people of the Chewish domination of the British economy, have them
spend a cursory couple of minutes researching the background and career of the
average British Chancellor of the Exchequer.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

who makes its laws!” because of course he knew that if he had control of the
nation’s money supply he could use this power to dictate its laws since the
threat of removing the money supply from a country would lead to a complete
social and economic breakdown and who knows what kind of promises and favours
and agendas are even now being secretly followed in order to ensure that the Chewish
bankers continue to supply the countries with the sustenance they need to
effectively maintain social continuity and not lapse into chaos and anarchy.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

their spending plans, and although Chancellors do tend to be financially
wealthy themselves, it is not their money which they are spending, it is money
which must be approved by the Bank of England which means we return to the
realm of mysterious and unknown stockholders, if we recall, many of whom were Chewish
at the time of the Bank’s creation.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

illegally lobbying current Chancellor Rishi Sunak to provide loans to bail-out
a failing investment company Greensill Capital which Cameron worked for as an

out on his ear again but he devoted the next three months to a propaganda tour
of America and Canada trying to drum up support for a Chewish national home in

not to pursue the Balfour declaration as a matter of government policy: the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Kabbalah is commonly referred to as a
collection of works which comprise a form of Jewish mysticism. QBLH meaning
‘tradition’ as in ‘Oral Tradition’ is principally comprised of three books: The
Sefir Yetsira (Book of Formation), the Sefir ha-Bahir (Book of Illumination)
and The Zohar (Splendour); the earliest of these - the Sefir Yetsira is
attributed to Rabbi Akiva Ben Joseph who died, probably murdered by the Romans
during the Third Jewish Revolt lead by the self-styled Messiah: Bar Kokhba. Although
these key texts of the Kabbalah generally appeared in the 12th century onwards the
attribution of these texts is much earlier, generally to the historically
critical post Second Temple period though such attribution may be an artifice
of mediaeval writers seeking perhaps a false authority for their writings and
there is much ongoing debate among Jewish and mainstream scholars as to who
really wrote these texts and when.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Interestingly we can observe at least two
major breaks from Jewish orthodoxy in the Sefir ha-Bahir and this will very
much become a theme I wish to focus on since this attempt to subvert Judaism
from within by a secondary force which seems antagonistic to the Torah and
wishing to destroy it despite claiming the contrary, is a key part of my
thesis. The following excerpt shows the promulgation of a belief in
reincarnation, an idea alien to conventional Judaism but which was a fundamental
belief of the Pharisees who would later become the core of Rabbinical Judaism
after the fall of the Second Temple and it is worth noting that the majority of
Pharisees themselves were not of the lineage of Israel but were actually
Edomites. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reincarnation has historically
been more commonly associated with Hinduism, Buddhism, and probably more
pertinently here, the mystery religions of Ancient Greece:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Why is there a righteous person who has
good, and [another] righteous person who has evil? This is because the [second]
righteous person was wicked previously, and is now being punished. Is one then
punished for his childhood deeds? Did not Rabbi Simon say that in the Tribunal
on high, no punishment is meted out until one is twenty years or older. He said:
I am not speaking of his present lifetime. I am speaking about what he has
already been, previously.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This isn’t to dismiss reincarnation as a
concept, merely to point out that it is inconsistent with Jewish religious
tradition and to see that it is adapted by the key writers or compilers of the
Kabbalah, shows that something which is alien to the Jewish tradition entered
their religion and transformed it, I would say a whole package of alien
traditions entered Judaism and turned it into something infinitely dangerous: a
religion with an acquired arsenal of techniques from the Greek mystery religion
to transform consciousness; if such techniques are used, out of context or
within a framework which is not properly adapted to them, then the consequences
can be extremely grave and such techniques can become extremely destructive to
the people undergoing them and to the society as a whole which also becomes
transformed. If additionally, these techniques are used as a weapon to actually
subjugate and conquer a perceived enemy, which I believe to ultimately be the
case, then whoever holds the key to these transformative techniques can dictate
not only the physical reality which is experienced by those who are dominated
by the secret esoteric machinery of the secret society’s mystery religion but
can also dictate their spiritual reality, which is infinitely more insidious.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It would seem therefore that the doctrines of
the Eleusinian mystery school, which taught reincarnation within the context of
the Orphic religion, spread throughout Greek society and the ancient world of
the Gentiles and was promulgated by luminaries such as Pythagoras and Socrates.
The Orphic religion teaches that in order to achieve salvation or detachment
from the wheel of birth and rebirth it is necessary to undergo a ritual
purification called ‘telete’ while the uninitiated ‘amuetos’ must reincarnate
indefinitely.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">We can only guess what might have transpired
during these ancient rites suffice it to say that with a combination of
psychoactive compounds, extreme emotions and a sense of fear for one’s life,
combined with witnessing extraordinary events being manifested with a variety
of special effects and scientific knowledge known to the priesthood but not the
initiate, then all sorts of illusions can be drawn on to strongly influence the
mind of the initiate and no doubt, some real kind of revelation truly brought
to bear. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">An example from the Christian era of the
priesthood having special knowledge which gave them power over people would be
the case of the monks of the 11th Century order of Saint Anthony. They were
primarily based in France and would treat those who were suffering from Saint
Anthony’s Fire or ergotism, that is the presumably accidental ingestion of the
highly toxic ergot fungus as a result of its contamination with the local grain
crop from which ergotised bread was made. It is surmised that the efficacy of
the Order of Saint Anthony lay solely in their knowledge of what caused ergotism
and that they simply cured their patients by removing them from the source of
ergot in their diet by giving them bread which either grew in areas without an
ergot infestation of by using grain which had been previously screened. The
knowledge of ergot was something we have conjectured may have been known to the
priesthood of the Eleusinian mysteries who may have deliberately used this
agent as a psychoticant. Additionally, knowledge of the effects of ergot must
have been known to early Iron Age societies in Europe since it has been found
in the stomachs of those ritually murdered and placed in bogs. Drugging prior
to ritual death was also common in South America where coca leaves and alcohol
were used as a sedative in the transition of life to death, the purpose of
their death being that they would then become ‘ancestors’ to spiritually watch
over their people.</span></p>

soul of the male comes from the Male. This is the reason why the Serpent

Garden of Eden as anything more than an allegory for some other key events
which may have taken place in the remote history of mankind in the area in
which he seems to have developed all of the arts and from where human
civilisation emerged. It is in the Middle-East and the area specifically
between the Euphrates and Tigris which is where Eden was said to have been
situated. But why the keenness to sexualise this story and introduce an element
which had not previously been suspected? And why the need to claim that gender
is something which also exists in the spiritual realm? What need would spirits
have of being gendered since they presumably do not reproduce. This is a theme
we will also see develop greatly: the overt sexualisation of the Torah and of
spiritual matters in general.</span></p>

Baruch<span style="background: white;">, </span>Michael Laitman claims that Rabbi
Shimon bar Yochai wrote the Zohar in the 2<sup>nd</sup> century. Known as
Rashbi, he was the most eminent disciple of Rabbi Akiva and was said to have
compiled 3,000 years of Kabbalah and many of his sayings are found in the
Talmud, although modern scholars doubt this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">Rabbi Akiva is renowned as one of the great Jewish sages
or ‘tanna’ and the Sefir Yetsira is attributed to him although there are
scholastic doubts as to this, although it is more plausible that he was the
creator of the early divisions of the Mishnah. It was Akiva who gave the
ill-fated Jewish military leader of the third and final Jewish revolt against
the Romans Simon ben Kosevah the sobriquet Simon bar Kokhba, (son of the star:
a reference to the messianic prophecy of an Israelite military leader referred
to in Numbers 24:17) </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">and considered him to be the long-awaited Messiah.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

the Jews (with as many as half a million killed) and the razing of their towns
and villages. It is probable that this event became the catalyst for their
long-term programme of world domination and total subjugation of gentiles.
Subsequent Talmudic opinion of Simon bar Kokhba considers him to be a
‘false-messiah’.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

caught up in the wars between the Muslims and Christians. But since there were
no Muslims in the 2<sup>nd</sup> century it cannot have been written by Rashbi
but clearly by someone contemporaneous with the activities of the crusading
Christians. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The crusader wars between Christians and
Muslims had been waged for 200 years and were ongoing during the lifetime of
Moses de Leon so it might have seemed a safe bet that they would continue into
the future. </span></p>

was, but it was probably de Leon, the Crusader presence in the Holy Land
effectively ended in 1291 with the Fall of Acre, so this constitutes a failed
prediction and rebuffs any suggestion of the text being divinely inspired. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">These
passages are generally not included with published versions of the Zohar (for
obvious reasons) but they do make up the corpus of the written texts, but such
failed predictions serve both to date the writing of the Zohar to sometime in
the 13<sup>th</sup> century prior to 1291 and also to discredit it as having
any prophetic or revelatory value.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

the Golden Dawn, celebrated Freemason and ‘ceremonial magician’ authored a
translation and commentary on the Sefir Yetsira for members of the Theosophical
Society, The Golden Dawn and the Rosicrucians and it would become a major
source for the Golden Dawn’s initiation ceremonies. Westcott encapsulates the
Sefir Yetsira as: “..a most curious philosophical scheme of creation, drawing a
parallel between the origin of the world, the sun, the planets, the elements,
seasons, man and the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.” Eliphas Levi,
the man who popularised the inverted Satanic pentagram, said of it: </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">"The Sepher Jezirah and the Apocalypse are the masterpieces of
Occultism”.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“This mystical capacity to visualize the
architectural and pictorial expression of complex mathematical and geometrical
speculation became associated with the practical expertise of the architect and
master mason. In the schools of Merkabah mysticism, Jewish adepts increasingly
portrayed Solomon as an architectural magus and his master mason Bezalel as a
craftsman magus, initiated in the secrets of the Sepher Yetzirah. Thus, ‘Bezalel
knew how to combine the letters by which heavens and earth were formed,"
while he and his Merkabah heirs could visualize and manipulate the ‘measure of
the body’ of God (called the Shi'ur Komah).’</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The Sefir Yetsira is perhaps<i> the</i>
foundation text of the Kabbalah where many of the key concepts such as the ten Sefirot
and the 32 paths to God are first elucidated although at this early stage in
the mythos of Kabbalah no names have yet been attributed to the Sefirot, only
that there are ten of them: “Ten is the number of the ineffable Sefirot, ten
and not nine, ten and not eleven” just to be sure. In terms of historical
critical textual analysis this very much creates the impression that the
Kabbalah was something which aggregated and not something which emerged as a
complete and self-contained work. The 32 paths of wisdom, according to Jewish
tradition, are apparently derived from the 32 times the name ‘Elohim’ is mentioned
in Genesis. This in addition to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet being
added to the 10 Sefirot to make 32 combinations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The 10 Sefirot are first named in the Sefir
ha-Bahir and the names of the first seven are taken from the Old Testament book
of Chronicles (although there are technically 11 Sefirot on the Kabbalistic
Tree of Life including Da’at but this is seen as all the Sefirot simultaneously
so it can be viewed as a state rather than a distinct Sefirot):</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness (chesed/gedullah),
power (gevurah), the glory (tiferet), the victory (netzach), the splendour
(hod) for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom
(malchut) and you are exalted as head over all.” Chronicles 29:11.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The idea became developed in the Talmud that
God created the universe specifically using these attributes which would later
become the stations or the Sefirot of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“By ten things was the world created, by
wisdom and by understanding, and by reason and by strength by rebuke and by
might, by righteousness and by judgment, by loving kindness and
compassion." Talmud, Tractata Hagiga 12a. </span></p>

descending order are: Crown (Keter), Wisdom (Chokmah), Understanding (Binah),
Kindness (Chesed), Discipline (Gevurah), Glory (Tiferet), Victory (Netzach),
Splendour (Hod), Foundation (Yesod) and Kingdom (Malkuth).</span></span></p>

and even of the Ain Soph is an internal one which has no observable independent
reality, even in metaphysical terms and cannot really be validated. It seems to
be and perhaps it might be more useful and charitable to see this system as an
idealised from of spiritual self-discipline but the very fact that the Kabbalah
was built on such shifting sands and from the very beginning seemed to be more
a series of word and number games being stacked up on top of each other through
the centuries by successive Rabbis, might lead one to the conclusion that any
deeper meaning and spiritual insight which can be derived from the Kabbalah
might be entirely accidental.</span></span></p>

according to William Westcot:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Many Kabalists have shown how the Ten Sefirot
are symbolised by the zig-zag lightning flash.”</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This could perhaps be the reason for David
Bowie’s, and later Lady Gaga’s adoption of this style motif. Bowie’s interest
in the Kabbalah and Crowley are generally well-known by now.</span><span class="text"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></span></p>

this evidently opportunistic approach to Jewish mysticism led to people like
Aleister Crowley, who himself probably knew full well what a sham the Kabbalah
was, adopting the terminology and structures to suit his own nefarious
purposes. So while Da’at supposedly represents the idealised state of all 10 Sefirot
acting in perfection, for Crowley it represents ‘The Night of Pan’. No doubt
some kind of unsavoury experiment in frenzy and practised abominations, and as
expected Crowley writes:</span></span></p>

Death, the Great Sea whence all Life springs, and whose black womb reabsorbs
all. She thus resumes in herself the duplex process of the Formula of Love

in the texts of the Kabbalah though they are hinted at in the metaphor of the

out in the Rosicrucian Chymical Wedding text.</span></p>

secretly perpetuating Jewish mysticism amongst the elite of the West:</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Although Crowley was no doubt a most
unpleasant man obsessed with his own pleasure at any cost, even to the lives
and sanity of others, by sexualising the Kabbalah he was only exaggerating what
was already implicit in the original texts. The fundamental problem with the
Kabbalah is that it is obsessed with male and female forces and sees these as
spiritual forces rather than merely physical ones. I suppose it is a matter of
opinion but I do not see the spiritual world as having any gender. It ought to
be evident that gender is a requirement of physical procreation in the physical
world and can serve no purpose once physicality ends in the spiritual world.
But according to the Kabbalah it persists and is primordial, emerging from the
very point of contact from the great Ain Soph to the Kether. With the third Sefira
Binah as being the ‘reflection’ of God, that is God seeing itself, then Binah
is receptive and hence a feminine principle and is known in Kabbalah as the
‘mother’ archetype. Confusingly however each successive Sefira has an
androgynous nature of both receiving and transmitting, receiving being a
supposedly feminine principle and transmitting being a masculine one. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

entitled The Rose and it could possibly be the true origin of the term
Rosicrucian. In the Zohar the rose is revealed to be a symbol for Israel, would
this make Rosicrucianism, that is, the rose and cross the first society of
Christian Zionism? This analysis would make perfect sense.</span></p>

thorns.’ That a rose is the Assembly of Israel. Because there is a rose and
there is a rose, just as a rose among thorns is tinged with red and white, the
Assembly of Israel consists of judgment and mercy. Just as a rose has thirteen
petals, the Assembly of Israel is surrounded on all sides by the thirteen
attributes of mercy.” </span></p>

the masculine energies Chokmah (wisdom) impregnated Binah (understanding) with
light to produce Tiferet or Beauty. To the Kabbalist the spiritual realm seems
to be held together with constant repetitions of sexual energies, it is hardly
any wonder then that we hear rumours of Freemasonry being little more than a
cleverly disguised cult of the phallus in the style of the ancient Egyptian

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In his 2008 book Essential Judaism, George
Robinson writes:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Hokhmah is the “sperm” that will
impregnate Binah (Understanding) as the first step in the Creative
process.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“..it is the means by which Tiferet, the male
principle of the Divine, impregnates Shekhinah or Malkhut, the female
embodiment of the Divine. Yesod is the way in which Divine Creativity and
Fertility are visited upon all creation. Yesod is associated with the phallus…”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The other danger is the insistence of the Zohar of
literally embodying the fundamental spiritual powers of God in the human body.
In the Zohar this is called the Microprospus or Damuth Adam, the primordial
man, and might be more familiar as the pentagram which in reality is a stylised
representation of the human body. So the various Sefirot are said to manifest
at different points in or near the human body. I wonder if you can see where
this is heading? The problem is that again, sex does not seem to be something
merely physical but also primordial, in this belief system then, one can justify
all kinds of sexual rites in the delusion that these are spiritual forces and
therefore they escape any kind of ideas of modesty or morality, and these are
precisely the errors the Ancient World fell into. Where the Gods of the Ancient
World were merely expressions of man’s own nature, it was at least to Judaism’s
credit that they insisted that God created Man in his own image and not the
other way around. But the Kabbalah precisely does that, it takes the physical
world and all its desires, emotions and polarities and thrusts them into the
spiritual domain, up to the very highest levels until it reaches Ain Soph and
ends in nothingness. </span></p>

The Secret Chiefs
cast him off; he fell into deplorable abjection; even his scholarship deserted
him. He published nothing new and lived in sodden intoxication till death put

Aleister Crowley and populariser of the occult in the 1960’s Israel Regardie,
the Kabbalah was handed down to Adam after the fall of Man and the expulsion
from the Garden of Eden.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Regardie is particularly scathing of
religions, however he claims that Kabbalah does not belong to any religious
traditions, and also has a soft-spot for Witchcraft. In his book he mentions
Crowley, for whom he has ‘a tremendous respect’ unfortunately this respect
would not last once Crowley accused Regardie of ‘pure theft’ when he edited a 4
volume work on The Golden Dawn and in a bitter feud revealed to the world that
Regardie had once visited a prostitute in France and contracted gonorrhoea, neglecting
to mention that it was Crowley who had ordered him to visit the prostitute in
order to lose his virginity and overcome his inhibitions.</span></p>

was my only link with the Secret Chiefs to whom I was pledged. I wrote to him
offering to place myself and my fortune unreservedly at his disposal; if that
meant giving up the Abra-Melin Operation for the present, all right."</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span></p>

entities; Crowley reports how he would play chess against pagan Gods, the moves
apparently being communicated to him and the opponents’ pieces he would move on
their behalf. One could still ascribe this to an over-active imagination I
suppose, but is it likely that merely an overactive imagination is enough to
influence the world on such a phenomenal cross-cultural and global scale,
taking control of the highest echelons of the ruling secret societies and being
the hidden hand behind the façade of our society?</span><sup><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></sup></p>

were reported to have been either: "I am perplexed, Satan get out!"

of ongoing psychic contact with a disembodied spiritual force.</span></p>

hand was to make contact with the divine spark that was thought to reside in
all humans…The Golden Dawn initiate was wanted to raise his or her
consciousness to attain what is termed <i>conversation </i>with the Holy

establish contact or ‘conversation’ with a so-called Holy Guardian Angel then
in theory, the whole human initiatory apparatus might be wholly unnecessary. It
might therefore be possible to directly contact this force using only a

ceremony. Such an approach was attempted by a blogger at the following website:

benefits which although we may surmise the cause we cannot be sure except
perhaps that he had connected with that ‘something’ which has a remarkable
power to provide beneficial coincidences. As to what that ‘something’ is, that
is perhaps the life-work of the reader to discover it for themselves and decide
whether this is a positive or negative force:</span></p>

disgust with the constant sexualising of the finer things of the spirit world
and of the nature of God, along with the chasms of meaningless gematria drivel
which shrivel the mind. The feeling of studying the Zohar is thinking you may
have stumbled on something valuable, something shines and sparkles because it
is a phrase which actually makes sense, perhaps a phrase like:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

on and it continues: “which equals the letter V” then talk about Queens and
things flowing, and then Hebrew consonants and silly gematria conceits and more
numbers and then a snatch of the Torah and a reference to Jacob. This is the
sum total of the Zohar, an endless permutation of meaninglessness, almost
fractal in its complexity reaching out deeply into precisely nowhere. A kind of
procedurally generated cerebral noise from minds perhaps, estranged from God
and so far from understanding that they had to invent a whole bizarre theosophy
of their own in order to populate their minds with something they think
resembles spirituality. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">But the overt repeated sexual imagery used in
the Zohar leads me to the strong suspicion that this is the origin of the
Satanic themed sex cults which occasionally make the news or more frequently,
are exposed by former insiders and victims of the cult, communicating through
the alternative media.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Groups such as
Crowley’s Order of the Oriental Temple were a surface resurgence of this
ancient current which had previously surfaced in the form of the Duke of

result of the collapse in the share price of the South Sea company in which he
had heavily invested. In 1723 after the dissolution of the Hellfire Club he
became the Grand Master of the first Freemasonic Grand Lodge of England. One
wonders, like so many other pawns of the manipulators whether Wharton’s debts
forced him to act for that financial power which sought to use him to exercise
its covert social agenda which we have seen either hinted at or historically
emerge from cover and unleash its furious agenda usually ending in the
destruction of Christian institutions and mass bloodshed and butchery.</span></p>

Zohah, we find references which recall the lexicon and iconography of the
Rosicrucian ‘Alchemical’ process: the talk of ‘brides’ and the union of Kings
and Queen, not to mention references which are markedly less guarded and
ambiguous than the ostensibly Christian Rosicrucian literature:</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

complete body, and all the universe is in a state of happiness because all
things receive blessings from their perfect body. And this is an arcanum
(secret).”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">And a strangely profane, almost sacrilegious
reference to the Bride:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“And she is mitigated, and receiveth blessing
in that place which is called the holy of holies below.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Referring to the female genitals in terms of
the holy sanctuary of the great Temple of Jerusalem would certainly not meet
with approval with what one conceives as the Torah studying conservative Jewish
mind and one cannot help but feel that such sexual rites and imagery was the
very thing the Levite priests were so critical of in Leviticus. </span></p>

referred to and put in spiritual terms and given a specific Sefira in the Tree
of Life and the male member too as Yesod is referred to as ‘most holy’. One can
just imagine what kind of excesses and perversions of spirituality could emerge
from a cult which reveres sexuality and specifically the sex organs as holy
objects worthy of reverence:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“And that which floweth down into that place where it is

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Yesod is mirrored on the Tree of Death by the
Qlippoth Gamaliel, or the ‘obscene one’, this is when the sexual energy is
repressed and builds up in the conscious mind leading to more and more obscene
sexual visions and the demon Lilith is the ruler of this domain. The problem is
if a mythology is created then invariably cults and worshippers will arise who
will choose to follow this ‘path’. So by creating the mythos of a ‘Tree of
Death’ ruled over by various evil spirits and entities, they also invariably
unleash these forces into the world as a kind of contrary ‘spiritual’
tradition, it is all the more tragic that such followers commit real evil acts
and atrocities which daily degrade life on Earth and whatever forces of chaos
are unleashed by wanton evil, are all based on nothing but the most irrational
and very silliest form of absolute nonsense.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">For instance, it is rather a sad and awful
satire to hear genitals and semen referred to as holy, and the genitals as
‘they holy of holies’ and surely must constitute sure and certain direct
evidence of the inner corruption of the Judaism of the patriarchs. So much of
the Zohar follows this template. A Sefira is referenced, then a quote from the
Torah, then something sexually suggestive about mothers, queens or brides. Then
a suggestive remark like ‘the holiness of the male enters’ or ‘beautiful path
into the queen’ or ‘the influx of pleasure’ or ‘marital conjunction’; make a reference
to Hebrew consonants then refer to a Biblical patriarch and you have your
Kabbalah mysticism</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">. This is the seed in order to procedurally generate the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In fact, some passages were considered so
‘off colour’ that Samuel Mathers did not translate them into English but kept
the original Latin of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth. We can’t be sure about
what is being discussed but there seems to be a reference to semen and
fertility:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is possible that the Zohar is partially a
kind of text based marital aid for inexperienced couples, or a form of sex
education. In the Lesser Holy Assembly, the so-called Star of David or Seal of
Solomon, according to the Zohar, is a symbol of sexual congress:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Chokmah is the fire: I, and Binah is the
water: H, the Father and Mother who, conjoined, produce the Son. Now the
fire is symbolized by a triangle with the apex uppermost <a name="img_33100"></a><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">
</span>, and water by <a name="img_33101"></a><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">
</span>, these two together united form <a name="img_33102"></a><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">
</span> the sign of the Macrocosm, the external symbol of Vau:
V, Microprosopus.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Judaism is pretty clear when it comes to
sexual license and such things, all though not strictly considered shameful are
certainly not considered holy, they are most assuredly ‘things of the flesh
that perisheth,” though notably this is a New Testament reference. In fact I
had assumed that the Bible was globally censorious regarding ‘the sins of the
flesh’ but to my surprise I found that it was largely the New Testament, not
the Old Testament, which exhorts the mind to think on spiritual things.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This distinction is hardly made in the Old
Testament and leads one to the suspicion of a certain unreformed carnality in
the Jewish mind which the Christian mind rejects and sets itself with a view on
higher and better things. The Old Testament however is full of sexual
immorality, often committed by <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the
Israelites themselves. King David having sex with Bathsheba, then murdering her
husband to cover up his immorality for example. The major sexual crimes in the
Old Testament tend to refer to homosexuality or of Israelite women sleeping
with non-Israelite men. Gross sexual license and carnality seems to be common
in the Old Testament and indeed is most often the behaviour of Israel’s Kings
for which they are chastised by the prophets and punished by God.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></p>

pole. It is possible that The Tree of Life comes from a time predating
monotheism in Judaism, when Jahweh was said to have had a wife: Asherah, who
was represented by a stylised tree or wooden pole. Asherah was an Ugaritic
mother Goddess and the role of Asherah was said to be the mediation of
opposites, which is exactly what we see with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and
is said to be part of the alchemical process. The result of mediation of the
opposites which we have seen has been such a key theme of the so called Western
mystical current since the middle-ages is quite startling. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">According to the Jewish Encyclopaedia:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“… the "Sefer Yeẓirah" draws the important
conclusion that "good and evil" have no real existence, for since
everything in nature can exist only by means of its contrast, a thing may be
called good or evil according to its influence over man by the natural course
of the contrast.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">What’s more it is my belief that the Biblical
Tree of Knowledge in the garden of Eden from which God commanded Adam not to
eat, was a reference to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and was an injunction not
to follow Asherah worship and the associated rites. This also makes sense of
the word for serpent which supposedly tempted Eve to eat of the fruit. The
Hebrew word for serpent is Nachash which also means the occult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Mexican occultist and creator of the
Universal Christian Gnostic Movement: Samael Aun Weor followed in Aleister
Crowley’s footsteps in capitalising on the sexual nature of the Zohar by
deconstructing the whole Zohar and the Torah in sexual terms and then creating
his own bizarre cult on the back of it which judging by several accounts on the
internet, was quite good at destroying people’s lives:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">During
my near decade going through the various gnostic movements, I watched as people
wept while they gave up their assets and hobbies (even their jobs) in order to ‘sacrifice
themselves for humanity.’ I myself wept as I did things like destroy my video
game consoles and movies (or give them away) and even destroyed a huge
collection of books I had because they didn’t fit in with the ideas of the
Samael gnostic movements. I stopped in the middle of my bachelor’s degree
program because I was persuaded by gnostic leaders to not ‘damage my intellect.’
I was lucky to be welcomed back to the program by my professors after years of
abandonment. I was lucky to have a lot of support after I left the movements.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Despite this there are clues that Weor’s
dubious movement had discovered, or had access, to some fundamentally ancient,
quasi magical knowledge, the kind of knowledge such groups can use to
manipulate and control society around them and allow them to operate way beyond
the understanding and envisioning of normal people:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“As I understood it, the Astral is this sort
of ‘place’ that is actually inside you, and all your demons live there. It's
where you go when you dream. It's very hard for a beginner to navigate because
you have to learn to ‘see through’ your dreams: the complexes/demons/egos
(whatever you call them) which have a pretty large amount of control over you
in waking life have pretty much total control over you in the astral realm,
hence the typical total inability to control ourselves in dreams and the
instability of the environment and instability of logic in dreams.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">According to the teaching as I understand it,
you are supposed to get more and more conscious in your waking life, then more
and more conscious in your dream life. As all your dreams become lucid, you
will start to ‘see through’ them, in the sense of having greater insight into
what they mean. This gives you a huge edge in battling your egos. In waking
life you are just meditating and trying not to let your desires, etc. get the
best of you. But in the astral (dream) realm, you can actually see your egos at
work weaving the dream picture, and see your egos in personified form
interacting with you in the dreams.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Eventually, as you become an adept at this
work, you see through the egos at work in your dreams so well that your dreams
start to actually stabilize. This is really where the phrase ‘astral realm’
comes into play. The dream world now becomes this sort of other world that you
can explore in a more or less rational fashion. You learn to enter and exit the
astral realm at will, meaning you don't have to be tired and fall asleep per
se, you can just lie down and whisk yourself off whenever you want to.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Although it is ‘internal’, since we are all
connected you can actually meet and work with other adepts in the astral realm.
It really starts to become this other world. You can visit the ‘Great White
Lodge’ (or something like that) where all the best saints working for the
salvation of humanity are hard at work.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">The goal is to destroy the egos to achieve
complete and total consciousness. The whole reason you play around in the
astral realm is to take the fight to them. Apparently it gets perilous as you
start to clear up the astral realm: your demons see the threat and work extra
hard to destroy you. There are all kinds of defensive prayers and mantras and
stuff you are supposed to be prepared with before you start doing this stuff in
earnest.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Some of the guys at the retreat were talking
about being in the astral together. It made me a little envious and wanting to
strive to reach that point. From personal experience I can attest to meditation
and waking awareness exercises contributing to an increase in lucid dreams. So
there is at least something to that part, that much I can say for sure..”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">There seems to be some ambiguity about the Weor’s cult.
Outer members are apparently told to abstain from ejaculation, smoking,
drinking alcohol and indeed, most kinds of physical pleasure. No doubt however
the ‘inner circle’ have a very different experience.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Initially Weor had planned to die and
reincarnate in his own body but a few years before his eventual death he
prepared an Egyptian mummy in which to physically return. The man could have
been an honest lunatic but I suspect the truth is that he, like Crowley, had
manufactured his very own cult with him as the high priest. Such high-office
demands the promise of miracles and Weor was merely playing along with his part,
while no doubt enjoying it immensely. I can only hope that such an impious old
fraud is now enjoying his just rewards for those who waylay and betray other
people’s credulity. Though it has to be said, that without the mass of
simple-minded sheep souls so ready and willing to be waylaid by these predatory
and evilly inclined people, they would not be able to profit quite so well here
on Earth as they seem to do and it does seem to be something of a dance of the
polarities: the timeless partnership of eternal limitless stupidity with
eternal limitless evil.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Without stupidity, evil would not be able to
manifest long on Earth and attain its goals, but the fact that it has done so
for so long is a testimony to the presence of that silent dance-partner, the
dim-witted, brainless victim who always seems to be so plentiful here, like
fields of wheat waiting to be reaped. I don’t want to waste any more time on
this unpleasant charlatan, I will just let his analyses speak for themselves
and move on, but the following passage culminates in a direct Rabbinical-style
reversal of the Biblical injunction from Genesis 2:17 ‘you must not eat from the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ here we will see the ‘Gnostic’ Samael
Aun Weor in the role of a literal Satan:</span></p>

the tree was good for food she took of the fruit of it and did eat.” –
Genesis 3: 6.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">This indicate that hitherto their love had
been angelic and pure, but was now changed into sexual desire first arising in
[their physicality made of bones and flesh] the woman [Malkuth] and leading
them to conjugal relationship, for a woman [Eve, symbol of the sexual organ] is
the inspirer of love whilst man [Adam, symbol of the brain] is the receptacle
of it and in this resembles angelic beings whose actions are determined by pure
love unblended and unmingled with sexual desire.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“And the serpent was wiser than any animal of
the field which Jehovah Elohim had made.” – Genesis 3: 7 </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In the moment that Adam and Eve became thus
associated, the lower soul [נפש Nephesh] became excited and aroused
by sexual desire in which it delights, as scripture said: ‘mayest freely eat'
to the prohibition from ejaculating the living manna [semen].</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Thus, in saying, 'Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest freely eat' indicates that Adam is permitted to eat even from the
tree of knowledge, but together with God [Shaddai-El-Chai].” </span></p>

Rosicruciana Antiqua (F.R.A.) and apparently learned the ‘Great Arcanum’ or
white ‘sexual magic’. In 1964 he published a book called Cosmic Ships in which
he promulgates the doctrine that alien spaceships from other planets are
present on Earth. He mentions that sometimes these vessels crash or explode in
flight (funny that they travelled all that distance through space only to
arrive here and explode) In the book he states that he doesn’t seek to check
the authenticity of these alien spaceships because for him it is beyond all
doubt. He claims these cosmic vessels were created by the angels, archangels,
and seraphim, all flesh and blood being apparently, including a flesh and blood
angel called Saint Venon from the planet Soort. Saint Vernon’s spaceships are
apparently powered by gravity, but Weor writes that he doesn’t want to tire the
reader with technical details. When humanity arrives at its maturity it will
have the right to access and use these spaceships and we will receive education
from superior humans from space. Some people from Mexico were apparently taken
to Venus and one person from Brazil was taken to Mars and he mentions that we
are on the verge of a cosmic cataclysm but our space brothers will try to help
us. </span></p>

several spaceships hidden deep under the Himalayas and the inhabitants from
other planets walk in our towns and cities unnoticed. Mars, Venus and Mercury

there is no money and everyone works only two hours per day and receives
everything they want. Weor reveals that we can all share in this utopia if we
can learn to get rid of our ego, then we will be able to psychically
communicate with these benevolent space-brothers.</span></p>

people take this stuff very seriously, but beyond all of the nonsense is
something real. Namely that there are processes which can destroy the
individual sense of self and ‘ego’ which then does indeed lead to the
possibility of telepathic communication with some kind of discarnate beings. We
have seen some examples of these beings and their interactions in the story of
Barbara O’Brien. I suggest this is not something which we ought to encourage
but this seems to be part of the worldwide Rosicrucian agenda, and hopefully by
now we can start to see what the agenda, its aims and the final result might
be. </span></p>

Revolutionary agents and assassins or mystical Scientific societies of the
middle-ages,</span><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;"> Crowley writes:</span></p>

history we have scarcely had a dozen Magi in the technical sense of the word.
They may be recognized by the fact that their message may be formulated as a
single word, which word must be such that it overturns all existing beliefs and
codes.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Crowley, the Rosicrucians, the Italian bankers and
their change agents, the French and the Russian revolutionaries, the UFO cults,
all controlled by the same force throughout time and space all dedicated to one
theme: ‘overturning all existing beliefs’. We now live in the world where their
programme is about to achieve its final goals bereft of the idealism which would
have sustained those meddling and wrong-headed do-gooders of the past.</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

though I have forgotten the attribution and the internet search results being
now so strictly filtered it is presently impossible for me to find out, but it
perfectly encapsulates what has happened to the world and how everything has
been subverted from within by the secret societies enacting this millennial old
agenda, emerging slowly in the mediaeval period, informed by and secretly
perpetuating Jewish mysticism amongst the elite of the West:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="text"><span style="background: white; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;">“</span></span><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;">To destroy Western

necessary to teach Judaism.”</span><span style="background: white; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;">Although Crowley was no doubt a most unpleasant man
obsessed with his own pleasure at any cost, even to the lives and sanity of
others, by sexualising the Kabbalah he was only exaggerating what was already
implicit in the original texts. The fundamental problem with the Kabbalah is
that it is obsessed with male and female forces and sees these as spiritual
forces rather than merely physical ones. I suppose it is a matter of opinion
but I do not see the spiritual world as having any gender. It ought to be evident
that gender is a requirement of physical procreation in the physical world and
can serve no purpose once physicality ends in the spiritual world. But
according to the Kabbalah it persists and is primordial, emerging from the very
point of contact from the great Ain Soph to the Kether. With the third Sefira
Binah as being the ‘reflection’ of God, that is God seeing itself, then Binah
is receptive and hence a feminine principle and is known in Kabbalah as the
‘mother’ archetype. Confusingly however each successive Sefira has an
androgynous nature of both receiving and transmitting, receiving being a
supposedly feminine principle and transmitting being a masculine one. </span><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The opening tractate of the Zohar is entitled The Rose and it
could possibly be the true origin of the term Rosicrucian. In the Zohar the
rose is revealed to be a symbol for Israel, would this make Rosicrucianism,
that is, the rose and cross the first society of Christian Zionism? This
analysis would make perfect sense.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Rabbi
Hizkiyah opened, ‘It is written, as a rose among thorns.’ That a rose is the
Assembly of Israel. Because there is a rose and there is a rose, just as a rose
among thorns is tinged with red and white, the Assembly of Israel consists of
judgment and mercy. Just as a rose has thirteen petals, the Assembly of Israel
is surrounded on all sides by the thirteen attributes of mercy.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

energies Chokmah (wisdom) impregnated Binah (understanding) with light to
produce Tiferet or Beauty. To the Kabbalist the spiritual realm seems to be
held together with constant repetitions of sexual energies, it is hardly any
wonder then that we hear rumours of Freemasonry being little more than a
cleverly disguised cult of the phallus in the style of the ancient Egyptian
fertility mystery schools such as the allegory of the search for the poor
Osiris’ lost penis.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In his 2008 book Essential Judaism, George Robinson
writes:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Hokhmah is the “sperm” that will
impregnate Binah (Understanding) as the first step in the Creative
process.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">“..it is the means by which Tiferet, the male principle
of the Divine, impregnates Shekhinah or Malkhut, the female
embodiment of the Divine. Yesod is the way in which Divine Creativity and
Fertility are visited upon all creation. Yesod is associated with the phallus…”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
other danger is the insistence of the Zohar of literally embodying the fundamental
spiritual powers of God in the human body. In the Zohar this is called the
Microprospus or Damuth Adam, the primordial man, and might be more familiar as
the pentagram which in reality is a stylised representation of the human body.
So the various Sefirot are said to manifest at different points in or near the
human body. I wonder if you can see where this is heading? The problem is that
again, sex does not seem to be something merely physical but also primordial,
in this belief system then, one can justify all kinds of sexual rites in the
delusion that these are spiritual forces and therefore they escape any kind of
ideas of modesty or morality, and these are precisely the errors the Ancient
World fell into. Where the Gods of the Ancient World were merely expressions of
man’s own nature, it was at least to Judaism’s credit that they insisted that
God created Man in his own image and not the other way around. But the Kabbalah
precisely does that, it takes the physical world and all its desires, emotions
and polarities and thrusts them into the spiritual domain, up to the very
highest levels until it reaches Ain Soph and ends in nothingness. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Golden Dawn and of Mathers himself and makes an intriguing allusion:</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

course, carried on; but he had fallen. The Secret Chiefs cast him off; he fell
into deplorable abjection; even his scholarship deserted him. He published
nothing new and lived in sodden intoxication till death put an end to his long
misery." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">According to one-time personal secretary to Aleister
Crowley and populariser of the occult in the 1960’s Israel Regardie, the
Kabbalah was handed down to Adam after the fall of Man and the expulsion from
the Garden of Eden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Regardie is particularly scathing of religions, however
he claims that Kabbalah does not belong to any religious traditions, and also
has a soft-spot for Witchcraft. In his book he mentions Crowley, for whom he
has ‘a tremendous respect’ unfortunately this respect would not last once
Crowley accused Regardie of ‘pure theft’ when he edited a 4 volume work on The
Golden Dawn and in a bitter feud revealed to the world that Regardie had once
visited a prostitute in France and contracted gonorrhoea, neglecting to mention
that it was Crowley who had ordered him to visit the prostitute in order to
lose his virginity and overcome his inhibitions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

with the Secret Chiefs to whom I was pledged. I wrote to him offering to place
myself and my fortune unreservedly at his disposal; if that meant giving up the
Abra-Melin Operation for the present, all right."</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #4C09; mso-themecolor: text1;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

was in full psychic contact with various spiritual entities; Crowley reports
how he would play chess against pagan Gods, the moves apparently being
communicated to him and the ‘opponents’ pieces he would move on their behalf.
One could still ascribe this to an over-active imagination I suppose, but is it
likely that merely an overactive imagination is enough to influence the world
on such a phenomenal cross-cultural and global scale, taking control of the highest
echelons of the ruling secret societies and being the hidden hand behind the
façade of our society?</span><sup><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 8.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></sup></p>

were reported to have been either: "I am perplexed, Satan get out!"
or "Sometimes I hate myself" but Crowley’s reference to ‘Secret
Chiefs’ having deserted Mathers is intriguing and possibly hints at some kind
of ongoing psychic contact with a disembodied spiritual force.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It was because at that time Egypt was a great center of learning, of Theosophy and the science of the Divine Mysteries, and therefore referred to in scripture as 'the garden of the Lord like the land of Egypt.' In it, as in the garden of Eden, of which it is stated, 'From the right of it went forth a river called Pison that encompassed the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold,’ flowed a great mystical river of divine knowledge, very precious and unobtainable elsewhere. Abraham having entered into the garden of Eden and become an adept in the secret doctrine, desirous of passing through all its grades on two the higher mysteries in order to become 'teloios' or perfect, went down into Egypt where there was gold, or the Hidden Wisdom." </span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />So, the implication is clear that the prohibition of initiatory or transformative rites of the pagans which are continually rebuked in the Torah are now reversed and such rites are specifically encouraged, indeed, such is the whole purpose of the Kabbalah. <br />The very fact of initiation is something forbidden in the earliest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible the Septuagint. The name Septuagint comes from the story that Ptolemy II the Greek Pharoah of Egypt of the 3rd century BC who asked for a translation of the Torah from Hebrew to Greek to be included in the Library of Alexandria by 72 Jewish Elders.</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />“There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.” Deuteronomy 23:17 <br />‘Initiated’ person is usually translated as ‘ritual homosexual prostitution’ and this line was added by the 70 Jewish scholars to further clarify the following verse. </span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />“Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.” <br />The wages of a dog is also translated as “male prostitute's payment” and this is because this was associated with the mysteries of Anubis, hence the Septuagint’s reference to ‘initiation’.</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />With this is mind are we to assume that the biggest secret of secret society initiation is the homosexual sex act?<br />And it is this force which now rules the world today through the proxy of Freemasonry which it infiltrated via Rosicrucianism and the general Alchemical sciences transmitted by those Kabbalistic Jews to the idealistic and perhaps well-meaning Christians to infect the West.</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />The Kabbalah uses the interpretation of letters to imbue new meanings in order to completely rewrite the fundamental parts of the Torah and it does this in order to justify its own initiatory system of mysticism. In the Zohar the Biblical phrase “Let us make man” is taken and the word Man or ‘Adam’ is analysed thus:</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />“…known to the angels the mystery and occult signification of the word Adam (man), the letters of which indicate his relation to both worlds, the seen and unseen, the known and unknown. By the letter M which is written as a final or closed mem, is found thus contrary to rule in the word lemarbeh, occuring in the verse, 'Of the increase of his government' (Is. ix. 7). Man is connected with the higher world, whilst daleth or the letter D, closed on the west side, indicates his relation to the lower and sensible world. The principles of which these letters are the symbols ultimated in their manifestation on the phenomenal plane of existence and the production of a blended and harmonious whole, viz., of man in the form of male and female until the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon him (Gen. ii. 21). The Holy One then separated them and having clothed the latter in a form most fair and beautiful brought her to man, as a bride is adorned and led to the bridegroom. Scripture states that He took one of the sides or parts (of the androgynous form) and filled up the place with flesh in its stead. In a very ancient occult book we have found it stated that what God took from the side of Adam was not a rib but Lilith, who had cohabited with him and given birth to offspring. She was however an unsuitable helpmeet for Adam and therefore Scripture states, 'But for Adam there was not found a helpmeet for him' (Gen. ii. 20). After the disappearance of Lilith and Adam's descent into the world plane of existence, then it was, as stated, 'The Lord God said, It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him a helpmeet for him.'"</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />So here the Kabbalah is saying that Adam, or Man originally cohabited with Lilith and the Lilith was Adam’s first wife and she subsequently became a demon which persecutes children: <br />“She dwelled there until Adam and his wife sinned. Then the blessed Holy One plucked her form there, and she rules over all those children – small faces of humanity – who deserve to be punished for the sins of their fathers….She toys with them and kills them. This happens in the waning of the moon, whose light diminishes; this is me’orot (lights) deficient.” </span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />According to Kabbalistic analysis of the passage above this means that God released the spirit of Lilith specifically to punish and murder children. From this belief one can see how ritual child sacrifice has come into being and we can see how the Zohar has given rise to modern Satanic ‘theology’ and practice and I wonder whether child sacrifices are carried out to this day when the moon’s light wanes. If so they would be being carried out according to Jewish scripture. According to the Zohar Lilith was created by mixing the perfect light of Jahweh with the imperfect light of Samael.</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />Israel is often described as a prostitute in the Old Testament, an epithet God applies to Israel more than any other in the whole of the Old Testament. God also accuses Israel of adultery 40 times in scripture. The children of Israel frequently departed from the worship of the one God and into Ba’al worship, trafficking with demons and all kinds of immorality. Nothing has changed. </span></h2>Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-42382639505968113772021-12-03T22:12:00.001+04:002022-10-22T21:01:00.174+04:00Some Notes on Zen Meditation with Reference to the Founder of Quietism, Miguel Molinos.<p> </p><p><span face="inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16pt;">From my new book.

The mind is cluttered with thoughts and impulses initially, distractions appear in the mind once you try to meditate. You feel hungry, perhaps worry that you haven’t turned off a tap somewhere in the</span><span face="inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span face="inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16pt;">house, or that you would be better off doing this at another time. If you persist with focussing on nothing you will reach stage 1.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">Stage 1 is when you start to feel a little more relaxed, the mind has calmed a little and there are no immediate pressing thoughts trying to dissuade you from meditating like this. If you continue to meditate you will reach stage 2.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">The next stage signals a tangible inner focus, whereas before you were aware of the outside world you now are becoming aware of the inner world. The world outside is now taking second place to an increasingly widening inner world which your mind appears to be filling. Thoughts will be significantly reduced and it is easy not to engage with them or wish to act on them. There is a tangible sense of a decrease in mental activity as you can almost start to count the neurons in the brain firing off with stray thoughts and impulsions which are becoming increasingly dampened down.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">This is fittingly described by Molinos:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">“By the way of Nothing thou must come to lose thy self in God (which is the last degree of perfection) and happy wilt thou be, if thou canst so lose thy self; then thou wilt get thy self again, and find thy self most certainly. In this same Shop of Nothing, Simplicity is made; interior and infused recollection is possessed, quiet is obtained, and the heart is cleansed from all manner of imperfections.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">The third stage of transcendental meditation would be what I call, approaching the Abyss. What I term the abyss and perhaps more in common with Molinos and less so with Crowley, is the sense that the focus of the mind is now wholly engaged inward and a large empty darkness approaches the mind. A friend of mine I spoke to about meditation said this actually scared him and made him leave off meditation altogether.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">Molinos notes:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">“Know then that the streightest, most perfect and secure way of proficients, is the way of darkness: because in them the Lord placed his own Throne; And (Psalm 18.) He made darkness his secret place. By them the supernatural light which God infuses into the Soul, grow and increases. Amidst them wisdom and strong love are begotten, by darkness the soul is annihilated, and the species, which hinder the right view of the divine truth, are consumed. By this means God introduces the Soul by the inward way into the Prayer of Rest, and of perfect contemplation, which so few have the experience of. Finally; by darkness the Lord purgest the senses and sensibility, which hinder the mystical progress…See now if darkness be not to be esteemed and embraced.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">I would hasten to add that here I assume that Molinos is speaking of the literal darkness of the mind in meditation and not in terms of a sort of Luciferian allegory for the forces of darkness.<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">This darkness seems to move closer to your mind and it is something tangible, not an absence perhaps but more a solid kind of emptiness. It moves closer and starts to fill the mind, like a rapidly incoming tide threatening to wash you, your mind and everything away into nothingness. Allow yourself to move into this darkness or it to move into you until it actually fills your whole mind, again Molinos has already been there and left a fitting description:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">“O what infinite room is there in a Soul that is arrived at this divine Solitude! O what inward, what retired, what secret, what spacious, what vast distances are there within a happy Soul that is once come to be truly Solitary! There the Lord converses and communicates himself, inwardly with the Soul: there he fills it with himself, because it is empty; cloaths it with Light, and with his Love, because it is naked; lifts it up, because ‘tis low; and unites it with himself, and transforms it, because it is alone.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">Stage four is breaking through this darkness to the other side and what you thought was nothingness and negation and a total loss of the self turns out to be an infinite boundless space within yourself and total peace. Your mind has now left the physical world altogether and your mind is now operating wholly in, and exploring a higher realm of reality. Here you will feel interesting effects like a spinning around, as if your whole being is turning as if on a merry go round; this I believe is experiencing our electro-magnetic soul and its natural oscillation. You will also have a feeling of moving through this inner realm at great speed, as you explore this inner world which seems to be full of the whole universe and all past and present realities.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">Some of these experiences Molinos describes thus:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-family: inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 16pt;">“The fourth step, which is Illumination, is an infused knowledge, whereby the Soul contemplates sweetly the divine truth, rising still from one clearness to another, from one light to another, from knowledge to knowledge, begin guided by the Spirit Divine. The fifth is a Savoury Pleasure of the divine sweetness, issuing forth from the plentiful and precious fountain of the Holy Ghost. The sixth is a sweet and Admirable tranquillity, arising from the conquest of Fightings within, and frequent Prayer; and this, very, very few have Experience of. Here the abundance of Joy, and Peace is so great, that the soul seems to be in a sweet sleep, solacing and reposing it self in the Divine breast of Love.

Such practise allows us to control the mind and emotions much better and remain calm and detached from events which would previously have had a negative impact on our mental well-being. We will also take this focus into our dreams which will become much more coherent and less chaotic as we will better be able to navigate and order the inner dreamscape.</span></p>Truthspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985629811369204345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708253253967062004.post-75859041852220459132021-12-03T15:25:00.009+04:002021-12-03T22:08:39.257+04:00The Strange and Terrible Truth....Can You Handle it?<p> </p><p>More from coming book.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlrZ-ZQnRbfhQ9wLYTnKekXfERsKHX8Eyq5s6UwOig3Er04leBOuFvVReBKBV3S_OSwV0GXZ3DKxuvvEEaAzbDePxQmpIEYID2Hsuv-PH9a7qrwBX4eFkrZ6IMCCFEcxCdCmRct6MMIzc/s402/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="402" data-original-width="322" height="445" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlrZ-ZQnRbfhQ9wLYTnKekXfERsKHX8Eyq5s6UwOig3Er04leBOuFvVReBKBV3S_OSwV0GXZ3DKxuvvEEaAzbDePxQmpIEYID2Hsuv-PH9a7qrwBX4eFkrZ6IMCCFEcxCdCmRct6MMIzc/w356-h445/image.png" width="356" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 24pt; text-align: right;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Tempus Sans ITC"; font-size: 24pt; text-align: right;">The ROAD TO ELEUSIS</span></div><h1><p style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"></p><p style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"></p><p style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><span face="inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "segoe ui", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji", "segoe ui symbol"" lang="en-gb" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #353c41; font-size: 16pt;" xml:lang="en-gb"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: large;"><w:sdt id="-438379639" prefixmappings="xmlns:ns0='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/' xmlns:ns1='http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/metadata/core-properties' " storeitemid="X_6C3C8BC8-F283-45AE-878A-BAB7291924A1" text="t" title="Title" xpath="/ns1:coreProperties[1]/ns0:title[1]"></w:sdt><span face=""Arial Rounded MT Bold", sans-serif" lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"> The journey into mystery.</span></span></p></h1><p><br /></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="STRANGE"><span face=""Calibri Light", sans-serif" style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">THE STRANGE AND TERRIBLE TRUTH<o:p></o:p></span></span></a></p>
<h2><o:p style="line-height: 107%;"><br />I have had to observe the terrible sounding truth that there are people out there who are able to read people’s mind. It is a terrible truth because for many, one’s private thoughts are considered an inviolable personal sanctuary and represent the ultimate idea of personal privacy.</o:p></h2><div><o:p style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></o:p></div><h2><o:p style="line-height: 107%;">If one were to be exposed to people who demonstrated to you that they could read your mind then it is likely that a great fear might grow in you, perhaps you would wonder whether these people were really human, since they exhibited abilities long considered beyond humanity.</o:p></h2><div><o:p style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></o:p></div><h2><o:p style="line-height: 107%;">Fortunately, there are not many of them and most of them seem to acquire this ability as part of their initiations and training with the secret societies, and if some of the rumours about secret societies which have reached us over the years are correct, then part of the attraction of belonging to an occult secret society, and there really is no other kind, is the development of psychic powers and abilities.<br /><br /> In his book Freemasonry for Beginners, Freemason Robert Lomas writes:<br />"Your new skills may appear miraculous and uncanny to others. but it is a fact of our Masonic Science that new consciousness gives rise to new faculties."<br /><br />According to the website: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">https://spiritwiki.lightningpath.org/index.php/Freemasonry</a>.“The psychic-powers are awakened as part of a continuous initiatory process of progress through various levels, degrees and ‘kingdoms’ of which there are apparently five.” From Robert Lomas’ book:</o:p></h2><h2><o:p style="line-height: 107%;"><br />“...every kingdom is self-contained. It is shut off, as though by closed bulkheads, and no leap from a lower to a higher kingdom is possible save on one condition - a previous death to the kingdom below.”<br /><br /> And an elucidatory description on the website:<br /> “The process ostensibly involves uncompromising repression of one's ‘human’ faculties. The process, which masons call the Secret Science of Initiation or Secret Science of Mystical Death is symbolized as death and resurrection, i.e. death of the human level/kingdom and the emergence of the trans-human.”<br /><br />I can give three immediate personal examples of experiencing people reading my mind, and there are actually others however these three are the clearest and most evident.<br />The first one was in Tokyo when I had apparently signed up to the Devil’s Bargain to become a famous writer with a skeletal ghoul like figure from Yorkshire who ran what appeared to be a small language school in Tokyo.<br /><br />The strange recruitment system of the Illuminati Freemasons meant that I was never solicited directly to join the Freemasons, just hints and allusions in a constant stream. For example, the man, whom I call the Demon King of DK for short, would roll up the trouser on his left leg frequently for no apparent reason and ask me if I knew who I was. He would have these strange imaginary phone-calls in the classroom next to mine which I could hear quite clearly, where he would be talking to someone, rather strangely, about me. He would never explicitly talk about me but he would allude to things he must have somehow found out about me, but then de-contextualise them so it would appear random and more startling. In these phone calls he would loudly refer to himself as ‘Mr Mason’.<br /><br />The odd thing about these Masonic people who have reached a certain level of initiation is that they seem able somehow to read minds or at least use some highly accurate system based on uncanny synchronicity. For example, in my mind I would wonder ‘what did he just say?’ and strangely in the next room he would repeat it. I found that if he said something which I didn’t catch he would repeat himself in his imaginary conversation next door.<br /><br />This was the first time I noticed this and on subsequent occasions have observed that some people are very definitely capable of reading minds, but this is not strictly accurate, it would be more accurate to say that they are ‘told’ what you are thinking. This is one of the results of serving what Manly P Hall the Masonic philosopher termed: the ‘arcanum arcanorum’, the secret mystery. An invisible and all-encompassing awareness that knows all and communicates to its servants in Freemasonry and other walks of life.<br /><br />One speaks and acts without understanding, but is fed information and instructions from this mysterious source, so that other people involved understand the words and actions and their significance. When one serves these ‘invisible masters’ one is little more than a marionette, acting for unknown purposes and without any concern for the consequences of their actions; service to the unknown ‘force’ is the ‘be all and end all’ to these advanced Freemasons. This force is what people generally know as spirits or demons.<br /><br />The second occasion came in Egypt when I met a Nile delta farmer who provided tomatoes and various salad vegetables to Sainsbury’s supermarkets. He seemed very well off and wore a suit; to say he was a farmer is probably over-stretching his role in the whole affair of growing vegetables but the fact is he was the smooth faced affluent and fluent English speaker who made all the deals and got all the money. He owned the farms and since he said he was providing for Sainsbury’s his network must have been rather a large one. Without remembering the specifics about the particular conversation, I came to the startling discovery as we chatted that he always seemed to say exactly what I was thinking; it was unusual because our backgrounds had been vastly different: different countries and cultures, yet somehow, he would say exactly what was in my mind only a couple of seconds after I had thought it.<br /><br />When I stilled my thoughts and literally had nothing going on inside my head, he suddenly fell quiet. Until this point, he had been carrying on a machine gun fire of conversation lifted directly from my thoughts, suddenly he was still. He kind of looked at me as if beaten and shrugged. He said nothing more and left shortly afterwards.<br /><br />It seemed there had been no information in my mind to feed on and as such he had no instructions to follow. It was as if this was how he talked to people, by lifting ideas and thoughts from their own minds and when he encountered someone like me who can enter the Zen state and stop their thoughts at will, he had no material to work with. It seemed to me at that point that the man was wholly possessed by the ‘arcanum arcanorum’ his every thought and action being a mere series of ‘suggestions’ from this force; always a reaction to the thoughts of the person he was speaking to, he simply had nothing of himself in any of his conversation because he no longer existed as an individual, he had become nothing more than a human interface with the hidden power.<br /><br />A third example is highly instructive as to what kind of condition these people who can read minds might be dealing with. Far from being able to read people’s minds making you a superman or some kind of God amongst men it is much more likely to have the opposite effect and reflects something which has gone very wrong with natural human brain-chemistry.</o:p></h2><h2><o:p style="line-height: 107%;"><br />I was working as a teacher at a Pupil Referral Unit in West London which is where the kids who get excluded or suspended from school end up. In almost all of these cases these students exhibit a range of various psychological issues and it is often the use of violence and a lack of self-control which has resulted with them being removed from the schooling system and sent, as a temporary measure, to a Pupil Referral Unit, while their return to school is being negotiated.</o:p></h2><div><o:p style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></o:p></div><h2><o:p style="line-height: 107%;">One student, a young black boy of perhaps fourteen years old was throwing a tantrum and running around refusing to enter the classroom. I thought to myself how the boy seemed demon possessed. He then reported there and then that I had called him demon possessed. Obviously, I had not spoken those words but I had thought them, yet somehow, he had heard me. I was already at that stage, used to the possibility that some people might be able to read minds or somehow ‘hear’ what is being thought but for the first time I observed this phenomenon in someone who was clearly psychologically damaged and most likely schizophrenic.<br /> <br /> <br /><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><br /></span></o:p><span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p> </o:p></span></h2>
