A controversial postscript to the case of Sigmund Freud concerns his murder. Author and investigator into the so-called "curse" of the tomb of Tutankhamun, Gerald O'Farrell, believes Freud was poisoned to death in retaliation for his audacious revelations. The heinous act served to keep him from revealing more to the world. O'Farrell has discovered that Freud's writings and notes on the connections between Moses and Akhenaton are being deliberately sequestered by the keepers of his archives in New York. Freud's assassination was, according to O'Farrell, one of many killings surrounding the excavation of the tombs of Tutankhamun and Queen Tiye (Akhenaton's mother).

Hypatia of Alexandria (370 AD - 415 AD) was a teacher, philosopher and polymath. A Christian mob attacked her as she drove through the streets of the city. They dragged her from her chariot and proceeded to beat her to death. After she was dead the mob took sharp shells and used them to tear every piece of flesh from her bones. Her remains were then cast into a bonfire and burned so that not a trace of the seer remained.

We can only escape from the world by outgrowing the world. Death may take man out of the world but only wisdom can take the world out of the man. As long as the human being is obsessed by worldliness, he will suffer from the Karmic consequences of false allegiances. When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even though he still dwells physically among worldly things.

The criers of the Mysteries speak again, bidding all men welcome to the House of Light. The great institution of materiality has failed. The false civilization built by man has turned, and like the monster of Frankenstein, is destroying its creator. Religion wanders aimlessly in the maze of theological speculation. Science batters itself impotently against the barriers of the unknown. Only transcendental philosophy knows the path. Only the illumined reason can carry the understanding part of man upward to the light. Only philosophy can teach man to be born well, to live well, to die well, and in perfect measure be born again. Into this band of the elect--those who have chosen the life of knowledge, of virtue, and of utility--the philosophers of the ages invite YOU.

Philosophers are nor born nor do they die; for once having achieved the realization of immortality, they are immortal. [...] The fool lives but for today; the philosopher lives forever.

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

If the Infinite had not desired man to become wise, He would not have bestowed upon him the faculty of knowing. If He had not intended man to become virtuous, He would not have sown within the human heart the seeds of virtue. If He had predestined man to be limited to his narrow physical life, He would not have equipped him with perceptions and sensibilities capable of grasping, in part at least, the immensity of the outer universe. The criers of philosophy call all men to a comradeship of the spirit: to a fraternity of thought: to a convocation of Selves. Philosophy invites man out of the vainness of selfishness; out of the sorrow of ignorance and the despair of worldliness; out of the travesty of ambition and the cruel clutches of greed; out of the red hell of hate and the cold tomb of dead idealism.

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

Ignorance of ignorance, then, is that self-satisfied state of unawareness in which man, knowing nothing outside the limited area of his physical senses, bumptiously declares there is nothing more to know! He who knows no life save the physical is merely ignorant; but he who declares physical life to be all-important and elevates it to the position of supreme reality--such a one is ignorant of his own ignorance.

Even in man's present state of imperfection it is dawning upon his realization that he can never be truly happy until he is perfect, and that of all the faculties contributing to his self-perfection none is equal in importance to the rational intellect.

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

No part of creation is complete; hence each part is imperfect to the extent that it falls short of entirety. Where incompleteness is, it also follows that ignorance must be coexistent; for every part, while capable of knowing its own Self, cannot become aware of the Self in the other parts.

The wise have therefore declared that none can attain to the highest in the science of knowing until first he has attained to the highest in the science of living. Philosophic power is the natural outgrowth of the philosophic life.

The power to think true is the savior of humanity. The mythological and historical Redeemers of every age were all personifications of that power. He who has a little more rationality than his neighbor is a little better than his neighbor. He who functions on a higher plane of rationality than the rest of the world is termed the greatest thinker. He who functions on a lower plane is regarded as a barbarian. Thus comparative rational development is the true gauge of the individual's evolutionary status.

Briefly stated, the true purpose of ancient philosophy was to discover a method whereby development of the rational nature could be accelerated instead of awaiting the slower processes of Nature.

In the ranks of the so-called learned there is rising up a new order of thinkers, which may best be termed the School of the Worldly Wise Men. After arriving at the astounding conclusion that they are the intellectual salt of the earth, these gentlemen of letters have appointed themselves the final judges of all knowledge, both human and divine. This group affirms that all mystics must have been epileptic and most of the saints neurotic! It declares God to be a fabrication of primitive superstition; the universe to be intended for no particular purpose; immortality to be a figment of the imagination; and an outstanding individuality to be but a fortuitous combination of cells! Pythagoras is asserted to have suffered from a "bean complex"; Socrates was a notorious inebriate; St. Paul was subject to fits; Paracelsus was an infamous quack, the Comte di Cagliostro a mountebank, and the Comte de St.-Germain the outstanding crook of history!

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

Ignorant of the cause of life, ignorant of the purpose of life, ignorant of what lies beyond the mystery of death, yet possessing within himself the answer to it all, man is willing to sacrifice the beautiful, the true, and the good within and without upon the blood-stained altar of worldly ambition.

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

Philosophy bestows life in that it reveals the dignity and purpose of living. Materiality bestows death in that it benumbs or clouds those faculties of the human soul which should be responsive to the enlivening impulses of creative thought and ennobling virtue. How inferior to these standards of remote days are the laws by which men live in the twentieth century! Today man, a sublime creature with infinite capacity for self-improvement, in an effort to be true to false standards, turns from his birthright of understanding--without realizing the consequences--and plunges into the maelstrom of material illusion. The precious span of his earthly years he devotes to the pathetically futile effort to establish himself as an enduring power in a realm of unenduring things.

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

Therefore, when through innate perverseness a member either voluntarily withdrew or was forcibly ejected from the philosophic fraternity, a headstone was set up for him in the community graveyard; for he who had forsaken intellectual and ethical pursuits to reenter the material sphere with its illusions of sense and false ambition was regarded as one dead to the sphere of Reality.

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

Thus it is demonstrated that to capture a man it is not sufficient to enslave his body--it is necessary to enlist his reason; that to free a man it is not enough to strike the shackles from his limbs--his mind must be liberated from bondage to his own ignorance. Physical conquest must ever fail, for, generating hatred and dissension, it spurs the mind to the avenging of an outraged body; but all men are bound whether willingly or unwillingly to obey that intellect in which they recognize qualities and virtues superior to their own.

— Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages view

Those who represent an ideal beyond the comprehension of the masses must face the persecution of the unthinking multitude who are without that divine idealism which inspires progress and those rational faculties which unerringly sift truth from falsehood. The lot of the Initiate-Teacher is therefore almost invariably an unhappy one. Pythagoras, crucified and his university burned; Hypatia, torn from her chariot and rended limb from limb; Jacques de Molay, whose memory survives the consuming flame; Savonarola, burned in the square of Florence; Galileo, forced to recant upon bended knee; Giordano Bruno, burned by the Inquisition; Roger Bacon, compelled to carry on his experiments in the secrecy of his cell and leave his knowledge hidden under cipher; Dante Alighieri, dying in exile from his beloved city; Francis Bacon, patient. under the burden of persecution; Cagliostro, the most vilified man of modern times--all this illustrious line bear unending witness of man's inhumanity to man. The world has ever been prone to heap plaudits upon its fools and calumny upon its thinkers.

While popular tradition often contains certain basic elements of truth, these elements are usually distorted out of all proportion. Thus, while the generalities of the story may be fundamentally true, the details are hopelessly erroneous. Of truth as of beauty it may be said that it is most adorned when unadorned.

From an ethical standpoint, the young King and Queen resurrected at the summit of the tower and ensouled by Divine Life represent the forces of Intelligence and Love which must ultimately guide society. Intelligence and Love are the two great ethical luminaries of the world and correspond to enlightened spirit and regenerated body.

When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear. Before men can live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into wisdom, superstition into an illumined faith, and fear into love. Despite statements to the contrary, Masonry is a religion seeking to unite God and man by elevating its initiates to that level of consciousness whereon they can behold with clarified vision the workings of the Great Architect of the Universe. From age to age the vision of a perfect civilization is preserved as the ideal for mankind. In the midst of that civilization shall stand a mighty university wherein both the sacred and secular sciences concerning the mysteries of life will be freely taught to all who will assume the philosophic life. Here creed and dogma will have no place; the superficial will be removed and only the essential be preserved. The world will be ruled by its most illumined minds, and each will occupy the position for which he is most admirably fitted.

[Ignatius] Donnelly showed that it was on Atlantis, and/or on other similar prehistoric sites, that man first rose from barbarism to civilization. Contrary to what Donnelly supposed, we believe Atlantis to have been one specific locale or city-state upon a continental landmass (known as Appalachia) that was situated in the north Atlantic region, and known in antiquity as Hyperborea, or Ultima Thule. Donnelly was a friend of President Abraham Lincoln who, before he was assassinated, promised to order the US Naval vessel Dolphin to assist in the search for Atlantis. The project was cancelled following the president's murder by Jesuit-backed assassins.

We all want the good things of life; we all desire to be surrounded by friends; but we have no right to expect to attract any of these things except when our own lives have earned us the right to be honored, respected, and admired.

What right has anyone to believe that man was born into the world to be happy? In the <em>Arabian Nights</em>, it is written, "Happiness must be earned." We are born with a divine birthright--a mind, a heart, two hands, and two feet. If any of these be missing at the time of our appearance, we have some other function proportionately developed to take its place. With these tools, we may go forth and earn happiness, but we have no right to assume that someone is going to thrust it upon us. We have come here for experience, as a child who goes to school. We may be happy in our studies, or we may curse them all the days of our lives. The wise are happy in doing the things that should be done. When we command the universe to make well the sick or to make the rich poor, we know not whereof we speak; for in our zeal and ignorance we may be doing an irreparable injury to the one we love, like a parent who cannot deny his children the sweetmeats that they want. In granting desires, we endanger both their lives and their future efficiency.

No man who is sick should be healed merely because he is ailing. He should learn the lesson that accompanies the disease that he has brought upon himself. To affirm health is foolishness; to find out the reason for the ailment, make right the wrong, and become healthy again, is wise and proper. To be so moderate, so wise, so thoughtful as not to become sick, is still better philosophy.

An aged and wise Chinese once set out to visit a distant place. He sent a messenger ahead to tell the good folks of the house to prepare him no food save rice; but when he arrived, he found a many-course dinner awaiting him, for the good family felt that they must so honor his presence. The philosopher reproved them, saying, "I asked for rice, you have given me fish; I asked for rice, you have given me corn; I asked for rice, you have given me meat; I asked for rice, and you have given me sweets; and among all these things you have given me no rice." Observing that the family was hurt by the words, the philosopher added: "I have lived these many years, and, after studying carefully this body which God has given me, I have found that it doth flourish nobly upon rice. It was with wisdom that I ordered rice; it was with folly that you insulted me by offering other foods. You say that I am a great philosopher, that I am wiser than all other men; and yet you did not think me wise enough to order my own mean." In the same way, when our brother asks for rice, we have no right to give him meat because we think he ought to have it. It matters not whether the meat be physical or spiritual, whether the rice be literal or allegorical.

People who use these false systems vindicate themselves, for the most part, on two unsound hypotheses: (1) that God has intended man to have whatever his puny intellect desires; (2) that man knows what he needs. Both of these are false assumptions. Man was not intended by God to be rich, wise, beautiful, healthy, witty, of charming personality, or happily married. This does not mean that the Lord has any objection to any of these things or all of them. It merely means that if man desires these things, he must go forth, as Adam was directed to do, earning his bread by the sweat of his brow and not by the sweat of somebody else's.

— Manly P Hall; Magic: A Treatise on Esoteric Ethics view

Evil will never cease to exist until selfishness and greed are overcome as factors in dictating the attitudes of men. It is the common thing for the concrete mind to sacrifice the eternal to the temporal. Man, concentrating upon the limited area of the known, loses sight of the effect of his actions upon the limitless area of the unknown. Shortsightedness, consequently, is the cause of endless misery. Moral shortsightedness results in vice, philosophical shortsightedness in materialism, religious shortsightedness in bigotry, rational short-sightedness in fanaticism.

— Manly P Hall; Magic: A Treatise on Esoteric Ethics view

An occultist is an expert in the science of life. As an operative magician, he is able to manipulate the forces of nature to the gratification of whatever end he may desire but woe to him if those ends are not in harmony with the natural plan! By means of his knowledge, he may work miracles, like the magicians of India, but: his feats are miraculous only to those who do not know as much as he does concerning the subtle forces of nature.

— Manly P Hall; Magic: A Treatise on Esoteric Ethics view

It is the power given by wisdom and knowledge that makes the occultist superior to his fellow man, his superiority being proportionate to his superior intelligence. In every walk of life, the uninitiated will be confronted with mysteries. To the average person, the working of a gasoline engine is just as mysterious as calculus would be to a kindergarten child, but intimate relationship and study result in that familiarity which gives ease in handling and intelligence in directing. It has been well said that no man is a stranger to his own valet. The philosopher is a servant of God, and by perfect serving, soon becomes capable of thoroughly understanding the desires and dictates of his divine Master.

All who are not consciously fortified in the path of right are possible victims of these monsters of iniquity; all who are not consciously on the white path, and firmly established in the way of sincerity and truth, are in eternal danger of these Harpies who float like soulless specters on the tide of evolution.

We must learn to realize that the greater the knowledge, the greater the penalty for abusing it. The sin that is excusable in the child is unforgivable in a man.

All true occultists abide by the laws of the nations and the community in which they dwell. While in many cases they recognize these laws as imperfect, they abide by them lest by their moral example they should teach the less intelligent to break the restraining bonds of law and order. It is said that laws are made for those who break them. We may add that laws were not made for Initiates, but there is a very small minority of people intelligent enough to live together honestly without the assistance of law. No matter how bad these laws are, they are far superior to the lawlessness which would exist when the mental hazard of punishment is removed from the untrained and unregenerated man.

First, the majority of people do not know what they are looking for. If they should meet truth, they would not recognize it. The Masters they seek are about them every day, but like Sir Launfal they journey into distant lands, seeking for those things which are upon their own doorsteps. Secondly, they would not accept wisdom if they should find it. They would all be glad to have the power that the Masters have, but few would labor unselfishly and untiringly for ages to secure that power and then consecrate it unreservedly to the good of humanity.

In a 1942 essay called "The Jew Does not Fit In," Hall suggested that anti-Semitism was the price Jews had to pay for being what he called "a peculiarly race-conscious people." The karma "of the Jew," he wrote, "holds a gradual dying out of racial persecution of Jews as a class in the degree and with the rapidity that the Jew forgets he is a Jew and remembers he is a human being." The same year he proposed that "millions and millions of entities who did not believe in competition or competitive systems in life were incarnated in India. The result is that the natural temperament of the Oriental is peaceful, not particularly ambitions; culturally static." In the same way, he said, in America entities of an almost intolerably possessive type had entered into incarnation together.

— Louis Sahagun; Master of the Mysteries: The Life of Manly Palmer Hall view

Hall adhered, for example, to Blavatsky's notion that there were three great systems of "racial karma" operating in the world: Lemurian, Atlantean and Aryan. Hall believed that remnants of what he described as "so-called Black peoples" were condemned to struggle against physical enslavement because they were the first humans to hunt and kill animals. Oriental nations and American Indians, he said, stemmed from Atlantean races paying for sins of arrogance and uncontrolled appetites by suffering through foreign invasions, internal corruption and perpetual poverty. The Aryan mind, he said, regarded complexity as synonymous with excellence. The result: dreams of empire, conspicuous consumption and blind faith in science.

— Louis Sahagun; Master of the Mysteries: The Life of Manly Palmer Hall view

Hall generally held a dim view of the lower classes of society and promoted birth control as a means of reducing the number of what he deemed the "mentally and physically unfit." By his logic, eugenics - controlling hereditary factors through selective breeding - would provide reincarnating souls with greater chances of being born into wealthier, happier, and more creative families. The world depends on leadership, he wrote in an essay on infant mortality in 1937, and constructive creative leadership can come into this world only when bodies of a fine organic quality can be produced. If some say it is unfair to keep out the waves of comparatively undeveloped egos by birth control, he reasons, it is also unfair that there be no class in society suitable to receive, nurture and culture the higher types of life waiting to bring the world knowledge and understanding.

As the parents of modern mankind, he advised Anglos to try to be more tolerant of the concerns being expressed by increasingly vocal oppressed minorities, whom he compared to adolescents experiencing growth pains.

For Hall supported the notion that Americans and British citizens were the most spiritually advanced people on the planet, and divinely appointed to lead lesser beings to the next level of development. "We have received with our Aryan birthright great spiritual and intellectual legacies," Hall said in a series of lectures on race and evolution in 1951. "We have the highest spiritual conviction of right, and also the highest evolved group of faculties ever bestowed upon living things, and these must continue and have their way, they must grow and unfold. There has been a great deal of question as to where the Sixth Subrace would come from. Some have felt it would come in an amalgamation of the American and British Empire. We do not know. Certainly the far-flung dominions such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other parts of the Empire, plus the American way of life will be a spearhead of a common attitude, and possibly from this spearhead will be derived a new type."

— Louis Sahagun; Master of the Mysteries: The Life of Manly Palmer Hall view

Before walking away from it all, Hogart met with Hall one last time, seeking answers to pressing questions: "I asked about a biography, and he said. 'I don't want you to write about me. Let my enemies do it.' I asked if he had it to do all over again, would he emphasize the Great White Brotherhood and illuminati. He said, 'I would drop all the magical trappings and emphasize self-help.' I asked him if I should get a Ph.D. and come back to PRS. He said, 'No. This place is custom-made for me. You need to build your own life.'"

"I said, 'When I came here, I was a rock singer. I still feel drawn to it. I know you hate it,'" Hogart recalled. "He said, 'That's exactly what you should be doing.'"

A mother and daughter belonging to the Lloyd family , an oil dynasty of Ventura County, over the years would donate millions of dollars to Hall's projects. They helped underwrite his whirlwind tour of the world's centers of spiritual thought in 1923 and eventually helped establish his compound near Griffith Park in 1934.

— Louis Sahagun; Master of the Mysteries: The Life of Manly Palmer Hall view

"Hall was never about truth, which is a childish vanity. He was about seeking truth, which is a spiritual quest," Hutchens added. "He was a profound thinker and a skilled businessman and he knew what sold. So, on one day he wrote profound insights for those who could perceive them, and the next day he wrote trash for the mass marketplace. He earned a living doing this, and not very many people can."

A chess master will give his student audience four pieces of advice from which we can learn. He will say that the first thing that is needed is a sense of patience. He will say next that a sense of timing is essential. Then comes one’s knowledge of the opponent, and finally, the clincher, the willingness to make any and all sacrifices to win. Now, can we see why we have the problems we do? The good have no patience, no sense of timing, zero knowledge of the opponent, and because of their inherent morality, are not able to make the necessary sacrifices. Compare this to the enemy. They have endless patience, with strategies lasting millennia; they have an excellent sense of timing, moving in gradual stages while planning a long way ahead; they have intense knowledge of us; and most importantly, they are not the least bit hesitant to make any and all sacrifices that are needed. In fact, that is exactly what they have been doing.

— Manly P Hall; What the Ancient Wisdom Expects of Its Disciples view

All human beings are divided into four general classes...The lowest of these divisions is the physical nature, and those who dwell therein are of the earth, earthy; they live only for the gratification of their physical natures. Their idea of heaven is a place where there is food, feasting, and little or no work...Their minds are only partly active. Their bodies resemble prisons more than dwelling places...they live to labor, plodding along to a mediocre destiny...Give them opulence and they cannot retain it. Give them luxuries, and they do not appreciate them. They are the dark earthy ones who must ever bow before intelligence. They do not love God, for they cannot know Him.

The second division is made up of the artisans and those who labor both with mind and hand...They buy, sell, and exchange...Having a mind, they control the mindless...Not having the mental organism with which to reason, they fill the places of worship where thinking is done for them. They are the ones who allow their clergy to decide all spiritual problems for them, feeling themselves incapable of assuming the onus of heavy thinking...their credulity is utilized as a commercial asset by certain types of minds who consider it legitimate to capitalize on the ignorance of others.

The third class is made up of the scientists...they attack the boundary lines of the known...Those who wage this war in the cause of science are mostly concrete thinkers who follow as far as their instruments will lead them and then must wait for instruments still more powerful. Most of these minds are atheistic or at least agnostic...The miracles of theology are incapable of chemical analysis and are consequently taken cum grano salis by the scientific world.

The fourth and highest group embraces philosophers, musicians, and artists, all living in an abstract mental world surrounded by dreams and visions wholly unrecognizable by the other types. They have reached beyond the world of academic education to the world of creative idealism, which is at present the highest function of the human mind. This world is the dwelling place of genius, of invention, and of the things which lower mentalities can only accept but never analyze. Religiously, these minds are deistic. Most of them are monotheists - believers in one God. Many of them are mystics or occultists...

The true occultist wants nothing but wisdom. When Solomon raised his hands to his God, Jehovah spoke from the heavens asking him what he would have, and he answered, "God give me the gift of wisdom." Jehovah asked him if there were not other things he desired, but Solomon answered, "No, only wisdom." And God told Solomon that because he had asked only for wisdom that all the other things should be added unto him and that from this day to the end of the world there would never be another king so rich, so great, or so blest.

The key here is to end YOUR participation in the Game and not to try to undo the Game's purpose as many Lightsiders are trying to vainly do.

They [aliens] obviously fear something by not being public. It's just a cop-out to use the 'we can't interfere' line of crap. They've already interfered by contacting one person and getting him to spread their messages.

The different alien groups love to play their Earther shill like a puppet to see just what they can get away with. It's not the Orion reptilians that play these games, but other alien groups. Reptilians do not play games.

— Val Valerian; MATRIX V: Quest of the Spirit - The Ultimate Frontier view

Earthers are ALWAYS looking for some external savior, whether it be the non-existent jesus or some alien group.

— Val Valerian; MATRIX V: Quest of the Spirit - The Ultimate Frontier view

My response is that IF what you aliens have to tell us is SO damned important, why can't you choose someone who has an intellect and, more importantly, is spiritually advanced enough to ask you the proper question and NOT take what you say solely on face value?

Many Asians and other followers of karmic style religions, fear what their next incarnational status will be, so they tend to mold their lives around this fear...Karma, like time, is artificial...Favorite 'bad boys' from modern history, Hitler, Stalin, etc are not being 'punished' for their experiences, but have moved on to other things in other incarnations they are having.

— Val Valerian; MATRIX V: Quest of the Spirit - The Ultimate Frontier view

They [aliens] successfully try to wow Earthers with technology and exotic appearances (in most cases) and this works unless one is in the VERY Advanced stages of their Path. You notice that all the contactees are either uneducated (easy to mod) or upper mid-level or low-Advanced level types who won't ask the HARD questions of them.

In all my time in journalism I cannot recall a single conversation in a newsroom that didn’t reflect the official version of life and the world. Most journalists are not manipulating, they are simply stunningly uninformed and often incredibly arrogant. They believe that if anything of magnitude was going on they would know about it because they are ‘journalists’. In truth they are the last to know.

The esoteric became a consuming passion for Hitler, especially in his rise to power. He was strongly influenced by the work of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who was born in the Ukraine in 1831 and later, one reliable researcher told me, became an agent for British Intelligence. Other researchers claim she had connections with the secret society of Italian revolutionaries, the Carbonari, who were closely linked to the Black Nobility, and she was a member of the Egyptian society, the Brotherhood of Luxor, which she later denounced as “a den for disgusting immorality, greediness for selfish power, and moneymaking”. Madam Blavatsky arrived in New York in 1873 and, with the help of a Colonel Henry Olcott, she founded the Theosophical Society two years later. This is still around today. The Theosophical Society’s headquarters in America were in California at Krotona. The Pythagorean mystery school in ancient Greece was at Crotona. Blavatsky’s society was yet another mystery school derivative. Its doctrines are based on Blavatsky’s books such as Isis Unveiled, which was written in 1877, and The Secret Doctrine, published in 1888, which are themselves based on the Hebrew Cabala. She claimed to be in psychic contact with hidden masters or supermen. These hidden masters, she said, lived in central Asia and could be contacted telepathically by those who knew the secret to the esoteric mysteries.

I don't believe there are too many people today in our western civilization that have really looked at where their religion, their ideas, and concepts, really come from. We are all aware of how other people can be wrong in what they believe. We have a theology and other people have a mythology.

— Jordan Maxwell; Matrix of Power view

Yes, that's the most dangerous thing you can do educate people. Because when people become educated, you cannot control them, you cannot frighten them. People who are educated know their own power, and don't surrender it to others. I prefer to die someday on my feet, rather than on my knees. An idea who's time has come is individuality and freedom, and understanding that both religion and government in America are the enemies of all good people. All sincerely decent, good people have as their greatest enemy this government and the people behind this government who are manipulating it, and the churches, period!

— Jordan Maxwell; Matrix of Power view

Let me explain more about the ARCO symbol. In the Bible, the twelve apostles are called the twelve cornerstones of the church. Jesus is also referred to in the Bible as "the Chief Cornerstone that the builders rejected." The Chief Cornerstone is a Greek word that means "the peak of a pyramid," the tip of the pyramid at the top is a "chief cornerstone." So stop for a minute, and think about the message being so very subtly delivered by the ARCO company. Who is in charge of world, really in charge, without the "chief cornerstone" being here? Who owns the oil companies? And who owns you??

— Jordan Maxwell; Matrix of Power view

...if you accept your government's view of everything, and if you accept your particular religious persuasion of things, then you are no different than the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Muslims and all the other people we condemn throughout the world or those silly radicals who follow the views of their leaders and blow up buildings without asking questions.

— Jordan Maxwell; Matrix of Power view

Let me just say that I don't believe that the whole world is totally controlled. But reason and logic alone dictate the possibility of that happening.

I see nothing wrong with the teachings of Christianity.

— Jordan Maxwell; Matrix of Power view

To be honest I’m fed up with hearing of how the Freemasons, Templars, Rosicrucians, Bacon and others, have been protectors of the knowledge when every time the climate has been right to make it public, including today, the opportunity is spurned. It’s bullshit.

One of the authors who is selling the idea that the bloodline relates to Jesus is Sir Laurence Gardner, ‘a sovereign and chivalric genealogist’. Funny that, because he must know this is not true. Sir Laurence is Chancellor of the Imperial and Royal Court of the Dragon Sovereignty, the former Royal Court of the Dragon in Egypt.

He is also,

<ul>
<li>Prior of the Celtic Church of the Sacred Kindred of Saint Columba (Semiramis)</li>
<li>Presidential Attache to the European Council of Princes</li>
<li>Formerly attached to the Noble Household Guard of the Royal House of Stewart (Stuart, the Merovingian line)</li>
<li>He is known as Le Chevalier Labhran de Saint Germain</li>
<li>Preceptor of the Knights Templars of Saint Anthony</li>
</ul>

I think it’s fair to call him an insider. So why does he keep telling us the Holy Grail bloodline is about Jesus when, with that background, he must know that it isn’t?

The hybrid progeny of the original fully alien masters could also eventually reproduce both sexually and genetically. Many dynasties and their tyrannical “royal” lines and leaders owe their existence to this, as a close study of their symbolism, deeds, and history reveals. This is the origin of the royal or “holy bloodlines,” like the Merovingians, Hapsburgs, Hanoverians, and Guelphs (Windsors).

“First Born” relates to the original progeny of the “Serpent Masters,” that is, the members of the Lemurian Race.

In a society that encourages the use of empiricism as the only valid method of deduction, one would not expect much progress in a multidimensional universe, and that's exactly what we have - not much progress.

I have been warning that they intend to make Earth a sequential planet and deny our simultaneously incarnating Higher Selves a place in this galaxy.

— Val Valerian; MATRIX V: Quest of the Spirit - The Ultimate Frontier view

People, in this series, talk about how "advanced" the aliens are, all the time bowing to their technological superiority. I have been warning about this throughout Matrix V. "We are so behind where they are, but where Allie is 'shows the future' and where we are going" - yeah, right. The aliens admit that they are 'emotionally challenged', so to say. They claim they have 'no emotions' but are astounded by the wide range of Earther human emotions. Yes, indeed. It's not that they have 'no emotions' as the series stated, it's that most have survival emotions only - fear, anger, hate, etc. The aliens have widely commented on Earther emotional ranges. This is due to the simultaneous nature of our Path. As I have said elsewhere in Matrix V segments, the aliens have been trying to duplicate the benefits of the simultaneous path using technology. They are trying to have their cake and eat it too. This particular goal will NOT be reached and their efforts are in vain. They aren't spiritually Advanced enough to recognize that, so they keep trying.

— Val Valerian; MATRIX V: Quest of the Spirit - The Ultimate Frontier view

It may be noted that though it is now common, it is not normal for mankind to congregate and live in cities. This is entirely artificial.

Nothing in this world, nothing, works the way you think it does. There's always more to the story.

You hear about some marriage breaking up - the husband did this - the wife did that - and it's very obvious what happened... No it's not obvious what happened. There's a lot more to the story you don't know. You don't know her background, her past, you don't know his past. You don't know what was going on in the family - you have no idea. So nothing is simple. This is why you have courts.

So I found that nothing is this world operates the way you think it does.

Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters.

Look to the Masons for the guilty party if anything happens to me. I believe that they have murdered in the past and that they will murder in the future.

There are three suggested origins for the Anunnaki reptilian intervention in human affairs:

<ol>
<li>They are extraterrestrials</li>
<li>They are ‘inner’ terrestrials who live within the Earth</li>
<li>They manipulate humanity from another dimension by ‘possessing’ human bodies</li>
</ol>

I think they are all true.

To the abhorrent Jesuit doctrine of Regicide (the killing of Kings), we must now direct our attention that we may understand an established policy calculated to obtain or maintain the mastery of all nations following well-planned assassinations. In the past, the Order’s assassins were either Jesuits, like Jacques Clement, or killers easily connected to the influence of the Company, men like John Wilkes Booth. Today these professional “terminators” are cleverly distanced from their Masonic master, the Black Pope, and given deceptive titles by the Pope’s internationally controlled Press corps, jurists and historians; such titles as “anarchists,” "nihilists,” “rogue agents” within intelligence agencies, or just “lone nut assassins.” Sometimes these individuals, in fact, do the killing, consciously and unconsciously (as do the programmed “Manchurian candidates”): they sacrifice themselves, die in the act or are punished for their crimes.

— Ludwig Von Mises; According to Jordan Maxwell view

As power is given to man commensurate to his wisdom and understanding, it is not safe at the present time to reveal to the world at large the methods whereby entrance to the invisible world is possible. If this knowledge were given to selfish people unprepared for their responsibility, they would be able to destroy the universe, either through perversion or ignorance. In order to protect this sacred wisdom obstacles have been placed in the way of its attainment which only the sincere and courageous would be strong enough to overcome. Years of service, self-purification and self-mastery must be passed through before any candidate will be admitted to the path of wisdom.

— Manly P Hall; What the Ancient Wisdom Expects of Its Disciples view

In the remote past the gods walked with men and while the instructors from the invisible planes of Nature were still laboring with the infant humanity of this planet, they chose from among the sons of men the wisest and the truest. These they labored with, preparing them to carry on the work of the gods after the spiritual hierarchies themselves had withdrawn into the invisible worlds. With these specially ordained and illumined sons they left the keys of their great wisdom, which was the knowledge of good and evil. They ordained these anointed and appointed ones to be priests or mediators between themselves (the gods) and that humanity which had not yet developed the eyes which permitted them to gaze into the face of Truth and live.

Overshadowed by the divine prerogative, these illumined ones, founded what we now know as the Ancient Mysteries.

— Manly P Hall; What the Ancient Wisdom Expects of Its Disciples view

WHEN confronted with a problem involving the use of the reasoning faculties, individuals of strong intellect keep their poise, and seek to reach a solution by obtaining facts bearing upon the question. Those of immature mentality, on the other hand, when similarly confronted, are overwhelmed. While the former may be qualified to solve the riddle of their own destiny, the latter must be led like a flock of sheep and taught in simple language. They depend almost entirely upon the ministrations of the shepherd. The Apostle Paul said that these little ones must be fed with milk, but that meat is the food of strong men. Thoughtlessness is almost synonymous with childishness, while thoughtfulness is symbolic of maturity.

There are, however, but few mature minds in the world; and thus it was that the philosophic-religious doctrines of the pagans were divided to meet the needs of these two fundamental groups of human intellect--one philosophic, the other incapable of appreciating the deeper mysteries of life. To the discerning few were revealed the esoteric, or spiritual, teachings, while the unqualified many received only the literal, or exoteric, interpretations. In order to make simple the great truths of Nature and the abstract principles of natural law, the vital forces of the universe were personified, becoming the gods and goddesses of the ancient mythologies. While the ignorant multitudes brought their offerings to the altars of Priapus and Pan (deities representing the procreative energies), the wise recognized in these marble statues only symbolic concretions of great abstract truths.
