Part Four:

The Spiritual Revolution
 

Chapter 27:

Toward a General Breakthrough

I would like to begin this final part of the book by directly addressing the individual reader. Now that you’ve read this far, you are in a position to decide for yourself if the basic thesis of War in Heaven is true or false. And if you’ve already made a firm decision to reject it, you might as well stop here. The rest of the book is intended for readers who either accept most of the theories or are still trying to make up their minds.

If you’re still with me, you may be saying to yourself, “The author doesn’t seem to care very much if readers accept the ideas in his book or not. And this is strange, because he obviously believes his own theories and has done his best to present them logically and to support them with evidence. If he doesn’t want the readers to accept his hypothesis as true, what does he want?”

Actually, I’m very happy every time I hear from a reader who has given my thesis careful and rational thought and agrees with its essential points. However, I still want to make it clear that War in Heaven is not intended to attract a cult following of people who accept its theories as a rigid ideology. For example, some of the readers who rejected various points in Spiritual Revolution were surprised that I didn’t argue with them very vigorously. If I thought they had failed to understand completely what a passage meant, I gave them further explanations, but I didn’t try to change their minds by persuasion and emotional pressure.

Many readers said something like this:

“The theories in your book are logical and internally self-consistent, but I can’t find much evidence from my own reading on spiritual subjects to substantiate them. In fact, just about every religious and occult book I’ve read contains specific refutations of one or more of your contentions. You say that plenty of evidence to support your theories is available in the literature. Can you send me a list of the books that contain it, preferably one that tells what pages the relevant evidence is on?”

I have absolutely and categorically refused to do this.

One of the ways the Western education system closes people’s minds is to convince them that theories or opinions are valid by exposing them to carefully selected and edited pieces of information that look like objective evidence but are actually slanted to support a particular conclusion. This is the exactly the opposite of what the Invisible College wants my writings to do. The purpose of this book is to help people think rationally and without bias about spirituality by challenging their previous viewpoints, whatever those may be, and offering the material I have received from my spirit guides as an alternative.

I have sketched out a minimum of evidence to support the theories as I have presented them, but this is not intended to be conclusive proof. Instead, it’s just a sample of what the evidence looks like, to assist readers in going out on their own and searching for more. It’s this searching process and the passing of value judgments on the evidence found that can help people to make the breakthrough.

Here is a dialog with my spirit guides on the subject:

A. The Invisible College intends the act of reading War in Heaven to have similar effects to being injected with a weakened disease germ that causes the system to develop antibodies against the disease itself. We really don’t care if people consciously reject the theories in our book, because we know that the ideas will sink into the subconscious and may eventually increase resistance to Theocratic propaganda and mind control. The primary purpose of this book is teaching people to think about spirituality in ways that were previously unthinkable.

 

Q. Yes, and it’s obvious to me that there’s more to making the breakthrough than merely accepting the information about Theocracy and the War in Heaven presented in this book. My personal cosmological beliefs were reasonably close to the theories described in Parts Two and Three for years before I made the breakthrough, and so were my opinions on spiritual politics. I’ve been calling myself a Spiritual Revolutionary since the Sixties but until 1983, I lacked a theoretical frame of reference for assembling my knowledge and opinions into a coherent explanation that I could use to answer my further questions about spiritual reality.

A. You did know much of the information necessary to make the breakthrough, but you didn’t know it in a very useful form. The important facts were so mixed with erroneous and irrelevant material that it was impossible for you to recognize what was important and what wasn’t. This kept you from using your knowledge to form theoretical conclusions and make value judgments that would have given you a full conscious awareness of the War in Heaven.

 

Q. In other words, I had sufficient information to answer all of my own questions about spiritual reality, but I didn’t know I had it. I’ve been aware all through the writing of this book that one of my major goals is to help the reader avoid the same problem. For every single fact I list, I have to mention several false answers for the sane question that are part of the available knowledge.

A. Of course and most of them are deliberate deceptions the Theocrats have planted in people’s subconscious minds to keep them from making the breakthrough. The same method of analysis has to be applied to the elements of theory used for interpreting the individual facts into a coherent whole that will answer further questions. Every presently accepted theory about the nature of spiritual reality contains major errors, most of them caused by direct Theocratic deception.

However, there is more to making the breakthrough than just encountering the essential facts and theory and concluding it seems to be true on the basis of the available evidence. People who make the complete breakthrough will be able to take the introductory material presented in this book and use it creatively to draw correct conclusions from other information on the subject that they already know or will learn later.

Discriminating between true and false spiritual information and theory has to be an intuitive process rather than one performed by the conscious intellect. One has to learn simply to “know” if something is true or false, important or irrelevant. This sounds very abstract in words, but what it really means is that we teach people subconscious mental programs for processing spiritual data logically, and they call the resulting output intuition.

We intend that reading War in Heaven will make it easier for certain people to acquire this programming from our telepathic transmissions. For example, if you yourself had read a book like this any time in the late Seventies, you would have made your own breakthrough very quickly and easily. Some people made the breakthrough because of reading Spiritual Revolution, and we hope that this new book will be even more effective.

 

However, we still don’t expect the majority of people who read War in Heaven to accept it as true, or the majority of those who accept it to make the breakthrough right away. This book is just one small item in a major campaign by the Invisible College to enable large numbers of Earth people to make the breakthrough within the next few years.

The spiritual information appearing in hundreds of different books and songs, often in coded or subliminal forms, is part of our campaign. War in Heaven already identifies some of this literature and music, and we encourage readers to look for more on their own. The search will help them form the subconscious information-processing programs needed to make the breakthrough. We do not intend that War in Heaven supersede all these hundreds of other books just because it contains more explicitly stated information than any one of them.

 

People still need to read the other books to develop the correct patterns of thinking. Even more important, many of these works contain valuable information about Theocracy and other subjects of use to Spiritual Revolutionaries that are not in this book. The two types of books that contain breakthrough-related information – the overt ones, of which War in Heaven is the first, and the subliminal ones – are intended not to compete, but to reinforce one another.

However, we also realize that large numbers of people are not going to make the breakthrough simply by reading books. The only way we can reach them is by directly reprogramming their subconscious minds using electronic mind control through recorded music and television, combined with religious mind control at rock concerts and other large gatherings of the right kind of people. This worked very well in the Sixties, and we are now beginning to do it again on an even larger scale.

We are also trying to use the New Age spiritual-development groups to help large numbers of people make the breakthrough. There is a major difference between these groups and high-level occult groups. We are preparing people in the New Age movement to make the breakthrough on an intellectual level; in other words, we’re teaching them to understand the information that is presented overtly in War in Heaven and subliminally in many other books.

By contrast, we intend that people studying in the advanced occult groups make the breakthrough as you have made it: by developing their psychic powers to the point where they can receive the relevant information direct from US. A small number of occultists have been making limited versions of the breakthrough by psychic means every generation for several centuries. Fragments of important information about Theocracy and the War in Heaven appear in many advanced occult books, though often expressed in a form that is extremely difficult to understand.

 

For example, most books by members of the modern occult traditions derived from the old Masons and Rosicrucians use analogies drawn from Judeo-Christianity: both its mainstream and its heresies. There are endless complex references to Holy Guardian Angels, Elohim, Pre-Adamites, Daemons, the Cabalistic Tree of Life, the Logos and the Gnosis, etc. It often takes years for students to learn this complicated mythology, and by the time they’ve mastered it, they’ve usually picked up so much egotism and paranoia along the way that they never make the breakthrough in the same sense that you have made it.

Conscious Spiritual Revolutionaries who work with such occult groups should try to translate the terms they usually use into the type of analogies and technical terms in this book. The terms in War in Heaven are drawn from modern science instead of from religious and occult tradition, and they describe spiritual realities more accurately than the traditional terminology. They are also much easier to learn and use, because they are internally self-consistent.

Occultists, New Agers, and everyone else involved with anti-Theocratic spiritual systems often find it difficult to set aside the beliefs based on faith that their particular system has accidentally borrowed from Theocratic religion when it borrowed useful operational psychic techniques or valid spiritual knowledge. In order to make the complete breakthrough, such people have to become scientific in their approach and not to accept anything but that’s not supported by the available evidence. And this can become very frightening for them, because it means they have to dispense with the whole idea of supernatural help and guidance.

Once people have made the breakthrough, they can no longer believe that there is a benign, supernatural “Higher Power” out there to help them. There is only the Invisible College, and we are nothing more than a political organization of ordinary human spirits. Even the spirits from advanced extraterrestrial civilizations are still not super-human. They too have ordinary human limitations, and are on Earth to serve their own political interests. These interests include encouraging the development of an advanced civilization on this planet, but that’s not the same as being a Higher Power as religious people use the term.

Alcoholics Anonymous and the other Twelve-Step programs are an excellent example of what we’re talking about. The Invisible College has guided this self-help movement since its beginning in the Thirties, and it is now the largest and most important anti-Theocratic spiritual group in existence; but the literature of the Twelve-Step programs still makes extensive use of the word “God” and other Judeo-Christian religious terminology.

 

These programs are extremely effective in helping their members overcome alcoholism, drug addiction, and a wide variety of other emotional and behavioral problems, because their meetings put members into a religious trance and teach them how to reprogram their own minds. The techniques used for doing this reprogramming are the same ones that we taught to the Freemasons and Rosicrucians back during the Age of Enlightenment.

Over the years, we have influenced the people who write Twelve-Step literature to start phasing out the word “God” and other religious references, and to insert statements such as “This is a spiritual program, but not a religious program. It works as well for atheists as for conventional religious believers.” However, thousands of people every year “experience a spiritual awakening” in one of the Twelve Step programs and then, as soon as their alcoholism or other problems are under temporary control, they drop out of the program and join a Theocratic religious group. On the surface, the atmosphere of emotional support and spiritual power in a Theocratic church is so similar to the atmosphere of an anti-Theocratic spiritual group that only a person who has made the breakthrough can tell the difference.

We hope that reading this book will teach members of anti-Theocratic religious and spiritual groups of every kind – Paganism, occultism, the New Age movement, radical and liberal Christian sects, the Twelve-Step programs, etc. – how to tell the difference between groups that use religious mind-control for liberation of the individual and those that use it for enslavement. Conscious Spiritual Revolutionaries should make a special effort to get people involved in such groups to read War in Heaven. (We realize that many members of anti-Theocratic spiritual groups will not be able to understand or accept the ideas in WiH, and that Spiritual Revolutionaries should use their own judgment to decide if a particular person might be receptive.)

Right now, the Invisible College is working in three different areas to assist large numbers of people in making the breakthrough. The first involves direct reprogramming of the subconscious minds of people in the present resurgence of the counterculture. This is accomplished through direct telepathic communication with people who are in the correct state of altered consciousness. Drugs and popular music play a major part in this, as in the Sixties. However, this time we are being much more overt about what we are doing. The process is almost entirely subliminal, but we want you and everyone else who is capable of doing so to tell anyone who will listen exactly what is going on.

We tried to do this in the Sixties, but almost no one understood our messages completely. Most go no further than, “There’s somebody directing all this by telepathy or some other mysterious means, but I don’t know who it is.” You and quite a few others picked up individual messages very clearly, but weren’t able to form a full theoretical understanding of our intentions and methods. This time, we want those of you who have already made the complete breakthrough to tell everyone else what’s going on. We have no idea how many will listen, but at least the opportunity will be there.

The second area also involves subconscious manipulation. We are trying to influence intellectuals of every type – including many who are not in the counterculture, political underground, or Aquarian Age spiritual movements – into writing and publishing descriptions of the War in Heaven, even though they themselves may not have made the breakthrough. This influence takes many forms, such as encouraging scientific research to gather factual evidence about spiritual phenomena, and inserting oblique references to ideas of the type you have been presenting in this book into fiction and conspiracy books.

This book and the overt discussion of Spiritual Revolution that it will cause is the third area. We want the ideas in it to be discussed and taught publicly by many different autonomous groups, each with its own ideological consensus. This will produce a completely different effect on the public from what would be produced if the same work were to be done by the same groups in secret, because people will be expected to learn a number of different viewpoints and synthesize from them in forming their own opinions.

 

The concept of an overt Spiritual Revolutionary movement is discussed further in the next chapter.

Chapter 28:

The Spiritual Revolutionary Movement

A. In addition to helping people make the breakthrough on an individual level, the Invisible College is also trying to start an overt Spiritual Revolutionary movement. We do not desire this to be a highly organized movement with recognized leaders and a narrowly defined ideology, but a merely a name for all the people who have made the breakthrough and share the general viewpoint on spiritual reality presented in this book. The Feminist, Environmentalist, and Civil Rights movements are examples of the type of organization we’re talking about: in order to belong to the group and use the name, people need only believe in its general principles.

Of course, individual members of such a general movement often get together and organize action groups to further the cause. These may need to have a formal political structure and a fixed ideology in order to perform their activities efficiently. If Spiritual Revolutionaries do ever form such action groups, the members of each one should remain aware that we don’t want it to try to control or speak for the movement as a whole.

 

Instead, they should concentrate on accomplishing some specific purpose, studying and writing about the breakthrough information, publishing a magazine, working on personal psychic development, etc.

 

Q. The S/R Press is an example of such an action group. It is registered as a sole proprietorship, and is technically a profit-making business (to avoid bureaucratic hassles over non-profit status). I organized it this way only so that I can assume all the financial and editorial responsibility myself, not so that I can make money from it. (So far, I’ve gone out of pocket on the project every month it’s been in operation. If income ever does exceed expenses, I’ll just reduce cover prices, give away more free copies of the publications, or increase the advertising. Should it ever become possible, I’ll start paying myself average wages for my labor; but I never intend to make an actual profit.)

However, on another level the S/R Press is an anarchist collective. Other Spiritual Revolutionaries help me with my writing and publishing projects on a strictly voluntary basis, and we decide matters of policy and economics as they come up. Sometimes I can pay for this help, but more often people just agree to donate it. I’ve also received a few monetary contributions and a lot of good advice on both business and editorial matters. This kind of collective is immune to most of the political compulsions of socialism and the economic compulsions of capitalism, because it’s just a loosely organized group people working together to further a common cause.

This kind of organization doesn’t sound like much from a verbal description, but it’s more effective than it seems. Theoretically, I have complete control of the enterprise and also complete responsibility for whatever is done. In practice, the other people involved share a significant part of the total labor and take a major role in making decisions. The job is too big for me to do all by myself, and I refuse to either hire people or lead a formal organization, so everything is voluntarily.

 

However, the others are motivated to become involved because they believe that what I’m publishing is important, and I’m willing to give them a say in making decisions for exactly the same reason.

A. This is one example of how a Spiritual Revolutionary action group can be run. It’s an anarchist model because you and most of your friends are anarchists or libertarians, but we expect that other groups may want to pick other organizational structures, depending on the members’ opinions about politics and economics. As long as people remain aware that their particular group does not officially represent the movement as a whole, any organizational structure the members are comfortable with is OK with us, as long it doesn’t generate a negative public image.

 

Q. Several of the people who commented on Spiritual Revolution asked why you want to give the movement a name at all. Why should people bother to call themselves Spiritual Revolutionaries if there’s no concrete belief system or formal organization behind the name?

A. We want people who support the theories and opinions in this book to call themselves Spiritual Revolutionaries openly, even though different individuals may hold different personal interpretations of what this material means and what they should do as a result of accepting it. If they share a name in common, then the activities of each one will generate publicity for the movement as a whole.
We also want to avoid a mistake we made back in the Sixties. Instead of encouraging the people we communicated with telepathically to use a single appropriate name for the movement, we tried to let it remain nameless. Of course, it acquired a name anyway when a gossip columnist coined the term “Hippy.”

 

Q. I always hated that word. It’s linguistically suitable only as a term of derision. But I still had to admit grudgingly I was a Hippy for a few years. It wouldn’t have been honest to say I wasn’t one, because I definitely belonged to the general movement labeled with that name. I did say that I wasn’t one of the Flower Children or Dropouts, because I found it easier to work than to live on the streets, and I needed a certain amount of property in order to write, teach magic, and spread my ideas. But I still had to admit that the ugly name for the movement included me. I’m really glad to see that you yourselves are picking a name for the movement this time.

Actually, though, I think the name “Spiritual Revolutionary” may be a little too long and formal sounding. Someone may still coin a short, snappy name and get it into common use, and it may be another monster like “Hippy.”

A. The worst that could happen is that there would be two names in use, as, for example, the anti-Theocratic church that calls itself the Society of Friends is much better known as the Quakers. Quaker started out as a term of derision, but now even the church members themselves use it quite commonly. However, those that don’t like it have the official name to fall back on. If the same thing happens here, members will always be able to use the name Spiritual Revolutionary if they don’t like the other name.

We are also suggesting a graphic symbol for the movement, a five-pointed star with a Roman C inside it, which you can describe in more detail in an appendix to the book. Another appendix should present a suggested code of conduct for Spiritual Revolutionaries, and we’ll discuss this concept a little more right here.

 

The code of conduct is just a set of general common-sense rules, which shouldn’t interfere with individual self-expression or creativity, but which will allow Spiritual Revolutionaries to easily disassociate themselves from Theocratic provocateurs, self-centered exploiters, and plain crazies.

 

Q. In other words, Spiritual Revolutionaries will be able to “quote chapter and verse” to the public if we face major problems like the Manson Family or some of the professional criminals who joined the Sixties counterculture and made fortunes dealing drugs, or minor annoyances like the “crazies” who got a lot of media attention for saying “Kill your parents” and ‘burn all books.”

 

We can say,

“These people are violating the code of conduct recommended by the Invisible College, so they really aren’t Spiritual Revolutionaries at all.”

A. In addition to a list of “don’ts”, we also have a number of more general suggestions for things we would like to see overt Spiritual Revolutionaries do. We are purposely keeping these things rather vague, because we want people to be as independent and creative as possible.
One thing we’d like to see happen is the growth of an information network around this book. For example, everyone who reads War in Heaven and agrees with the basic theory ought to start writing letters to newspapers and magazines describing it. We urge anyone who publishes an amateur magazine or newspaper of any kind – an occult or Pagan publication, a rock fanzine, a political or conspiracy newsletter, or anything else – to start discussing the Spiritual Revolution in it.

This is going to result in almost as many different theories as there are people writing about them, and that is exactly what we want. The resulting diversity of opinion will keep the movement as a whole from developing a narrow, fixed ideological viewpoint. We also feel that any group that alters consciousness through ritual, meditation, drugs, or any other means should not program people with the full information about the War in Heaven presented in this book.

 

Q. Does this mean that conscious Spiritual Revolutionaries shouldn’t use magical rituals and other forms of group psychic practice to help people make the breakthrough?

A. We encourage you to use such methods to teach people how to reprogram their minds so they can make value judgments about spiritual matters rationally, but not to indoctrinate them to accept political or cosmological theories on faith. Spiritual Revolutionaries should not attempt to reprogram people with the complete set of theories in War in Heaven, because none of you yet have a complete understanding of the material yourselves. The people you will be teaching have just as much to contribute to reaching such an understanding as you do. For this reason, all you should teach is rational spiritual thinking, not rigid ideology or doctrine.

 

Q. What relationship do you intend conscious Spiritual Revolutionaries to have with the New Age movement? I should point out that I don’t have a very high opinion of many of the groups that label themselves as part of the New Age movement. Most of them seem to be either commercial enterprises or social clubs first, and schools for teaching spiritual knowledge or psychic development second. Now I’m not saying it’s wrong for the leaders of such a group to be paid for their work in running it, or for its activities to provide members with recreation and social contact as well as spiritual training. What I object to in many of the New Age groups is simply their system of priorities.

For example, I remarked a couple of years ago that I kept getting fliers from New Age groups that were charging as much for a single weekend seminar as it cost me to promote and advertise Spiritual Revolution for a whole year. I spent over five years working on that book, yet I felt somewhat embarrassed to have to charge fifteen dollars for it. A lot of New Agers were charging the same price or more for a slender pamphlet or a thirty-minute cassette tape that was probably produced in five days or less of actual work.

In my opinion, the same is still true today: very little New Age literature or teaching is worth the price charged for it. This makes it easy for hostile outsiders to label the whole movement as a commercial rip-off or an expensive hobby for Yuppies. And such smears always rub off on the other new spiritual movements as well: occultists, Pagans, Spiritual Revolutionaries, and others.

I also get very negative telepathic impressions when I meet some New Agers in person. I perceive that the leaders of some groups don’t really take the system they’re teaching seriously. Inside their own minds, they laugh at people who take their teachings literally, and they feel that any benefits students get from practicing the system are caused by nothing more than “the power of suggestion.” Now, that sort of attitude disgusts me. If these people think their system is actually just a placebo, then they ought to either dispense with the fiction that they have a system at all, or find one that really works.

I also dislike the preoccupation of many New Age groups with fads that have little or nothing to do with spirituality, especially some of the health and nutritional fads. Many of these are based on pure pseudo-science, and some are cold-blooded commercial rip-offs. It’s often quite ironic: the leaders of a New Age spiritual group think of themselves privately as charlatans taking advantage of the people they teach, yet they are being exploited by another group of charlatans peddling phony theories about food, exercise, and physical health in general.

A significant number of people have died or become seriously ill because of health fads; this is bad enough in itself, but the negative publicity generated by such incidents has an even worse effect. It gives the Theocratic enemies of the New Age movement a legitimate excuse to label members as gullible, irresponsible, and immature.

A. Everything you say is true, but you’re missing the point because you have trouble realizing what it’s like to be a beginner in the psychic development field. In many New Age groups, the teachers are just as much beginners as the students, and you’re quite right that most of the progress they make is simply by the power of suggestion. You don’t seem to realize that this alone is enough to teach many people the rudiments of mental self-reprogramming.

 

Almost any system, no matter how arbitrary or fanciful you may consider it, is usually sufficient to put people into a state of altered consciousness that serves as a limited “command mode” for beginning mental reprogramming.

 

Q. OK. I stand corrected, but it is still difficult for me to communicate with people who take fads and pseudo-scientific theories so seriously. On one level, these people are re-inventing Western occultism, without realizing that everything they’ve “discovered,” both the valid elements and the errors, has been familiar to the regular occult community for a long time. In many cases, all they’re doing is inventing new jargon, or borrowing jargon from psychology and other disciplines, to describe spiritual concepts or psychic development techniques that ought to be taught to children in grammar school.

A. But these things are not taught in American grammar schools. That’s the point. Unless people grow up in a family of occultists or join the occult community at an early age, they’re simply not going to learn basic psychic skills. The New Age groups invent their own jargon or re-interpret technical psychological terms instead of using standard occult terminology simply because such terms are more readily understood by the people they’re working with, who come to the groups as adults with an average general education and vocabulary.

 

Q. I see what you mean. On the elementary level, practically any system works as long as the people employing it put serious effort into what they’re doing. I’ll accept this.

A. We also encourage cynical, self-serving leadership and obsession with fads and pseudo-science: it keeps people from getting stuck in a particular group long after its limited knowledge and training system are capable of helping them make progress in their personal spiritual development. Even if they don’t consciously realize that they’ve outgrown their group, they may get tired of egotistical, exploitative leadership or silly fads, and start looking for a new one.

 

Once they’ve started this “shopping,” they may look at training systems objectively enough to pick one that’s advanced enough to meet their present needs.

 

Q. It never ceases to amaze me how subtle the manipulations of both the Theocrats and the Invisible College often are. In most cases, what look like errors or oversights are actually deliberate plans to maneuver people into doing what was desired all along. I didn’t figure out that the total anarchy of the Sixties Counterculture was a deliberate policy of the Invisible College, for example, until long after the movement was over. And I didn’t discover for myself what you’ve just told me about the New Age Movement.

However, now that the overt phase of the Spiritual Revolution is beginning, I’d like to see you replace the present New Age movement with something less diverse and more efficient, led by people on the highest levels of Western occultism. I’m quite aware that every single individual tradition within Western occultism has its faults, especially in accepting major fallacies about spiritual reality, but many of the New Age groups are even worse in this respect.

 

There simply hasn’t been time for practical experience to force them to give up some of their more ridiculous fads, fallacies, and errors. The traditions of mainstream occultism contain numerous errors, but centuries of practical experience have taught occultists enough common sense to avoid a lot of the sillier mistakes that the New Age people are making.

A. Most of the millions of people now involved in the New Age and related movements aren’t ready for such a program. We intend to allow the New Age movement to exist in its present form for quite some time into the future. It is doing its job of elementary psychic training very well, and its continued existence will not interfere with the development of other, more advanced movements growing out of present high-level occultism.

The official opinion of the Invisible College is that you conscious Spiritual Revolutionaries should not consider yourselves enemies of the New Age movement just because you don’t like the actions of specific groups or individuals within it. Instead, you should encourage the public to identify your own groups as part of the New Age movement.

 

The movement itself is so large and so diffuse in structure that no one can stop you, and it has a reasonably good reputation except among the two extreme edges of the spiritual political spectrum: the radicals like you, and the servants of the Theocrats.

 

Q. You mean I should describe War in Heaven as a New Age book?

A. Why not? You have as much right to use the name as anyone. There’s no reason why the New Age movement can’t have a radical left wing whose members also call themselves Spiritual Revolutionaries. If the commercial rip-off artists and the teachers of pious banalities try to throw you out, it’ll just give you a lot of free publicity.

 

Q. Now that you’ve explained the idea, I like it. And I remember doing similar things back in the Sixties. I thought it was stupid for anti-war demonstrators to burn the American flag, while people who supported the Vietnam War acted as if the flag was their exclusive property while they called us traitors and themselves patriots. I frequently said that the anti-war protesters and other radicals should also wave the flag and say ’WE are the real patriots! It’s these militarists who are violating the traditional American values.

 

After all, didn’t George Washington speak out very strongly against getting involved in foreign wars?”

A. Your idea was a good one, and the inspiration for it came from us. If enough radicals had followed this suggestion, it would have weakened support for the rightists by depriving them of a monopoly over people’s subconscious emotions of patriotism and respect for the flag. Unfortunately, we were never able to make the idea catch on with the majority of Sixties radicals. Most of them were too serious about their protests to make fun of their enemies by making fun of themselves at the same time, as was so common in the rest of the counterculture. Humor is one very important weapon against Theocracy, you know. It’s a positive human trait that they can’t counterfeit very convincingly.

In fact, the New Age movement has a lot of optimism and warm human qualities that we hope Spiritual Revolutionaries will adopt. Some New Age groups carry optimism and positive thinking to excess by ignoring the grimmer aspects of spiritual reality, but no one who has made the breakthrough can possibly do this. You need to make a conscious effort to adopt some of the positive thinking of the New Agers to keep from becoming doomsayers and rabid militants as many political radicals have done. After all, we are convinced that our side is going to win the War in Heaven.

The next chapter will describe some the recent battles in this war, and their political and social implications.

Chapter 29:

Spiritual Politics Today

Q. Let us begin this final summary of the political implications of the War in Heaven by updating the dialog from Spiritual Revolution concerning the resurgence of Fundamentalism in the Seventies and early Eighties. Since SR was published, that whole movement seems to be disintegrating into chaos. Several of the TV Evangelists whom I considered servants of the Theocrats fell into disgrace over personal or financial scandals in 1987 and ‘88, and it is now becoming fashionable for average Americans to think of the more rabid Fundamentalist sects as cults, little different from the Moonies.

A. Well, we said a couple of years ago:

“Those movements backed by the Invisible College are actually doing better than those controlled by the Theocrats, but a surface analysis of public opinion makes the opposite seem true. For example, the present resurgence of Fundamentalist Christianity is not nearly as successful as claimed by either its own propaganda or that of various groups openly opposed to it.”

 

Q. I had felt this to be true for a long time, since several years before I began to make the breakthrough in 1983 but many of my friends in the occult and radical political communities disagreed completely. They were afraid the Fundamentalists would force the government to repeal most of the liberal legislation passed since the Fifties, and to adopt a militant foreign policy that would cause more wars like Vietnam and might even lead to nuclear war. I never felt that this danger was severe or immediate, because the Fundamentalist movement simply wasn’t big enough in either sheer numbers or political clout.

A. That’s correct. Ironically, several of the American politico-economic system’s worst faults are its best defense against a take-over by the Fundamentalists or any similar group. We refer to economic class structure and political power-brokerage. A relatively small minority of people with a high resistance to fundamentalist religion controls most of the real political and economic power in this country: the owners and managers of the large corporations, government bureaucrats, and professional people in general.

Most of them are politically conservative, but it’s the conservatism of the Old Right, not the New Right. They range from extremely wealthy to merely well off, and are almost all college graduates, which means they represent the social class that produces the fewest people with the correct personality structures to embrace Fundamentalist religion.

 

Their primary concern is retaining the wealth and power they now enjoy, and they fear the New Right just as much as the left does, though they realize it’s not in their interest to say so publicly. The New Right has always been essentially a working-class and rural movement; if it ever got into power, it would eventually try to replace the existing power elites with people who took a populist stand on political and economic issues.

If you look closely at the history of the conservative wing of American politics during the Seventies and Eighties, you’ll see that the Old Right was solidly in control the whole time, even when the New Right was getting maximum publicity. The traditional conservative establishment got votes from the Fundamentalists at virtually every election by using some of the rhetoric of the New Right, but it was very slow in putting any of the New Right’s ideological principles into action.

President Reagan’s attitude toward legalized abortion is a good example: he repeatedly said he opposed it, but he never used the full power-brokerage potential of his office to try to manipulate other politicians into repealing abortion laws. On the other hand, he was quite willing to resort to extreme measures – such as those that caused the Irangate scandal – to support policies he believed were really important, such as supplying arms to right-wing terrorists in Central America. This proves that his support for New Right policies was just campaign rhetoric.

We’d rather that the wealth and power were more evenly distributed within the total population, but in this case power elites and power-brokerage are working to our advantage. The political manipulations of the Invisible College are often extremely subtle, as we’re about to describe.
First, we’ve already said that members of the present power elites are less likely to become Fundamentalists than most people within the whole population. However, they are more receptive than the average to New Age spiritual teachings, which is another reason for not wanting radical changes in the class system right now.

Remember, we are not doctrinaire leftists. In general, we work for “the greatest good for the greatest number,” but we don’t have to worry about our public image the way living politicians do. If we can get significant numbers of the present ruling class under our influence, then we’ll work through them to benefit the rest of the population. Of course, we’ll also use this influence over the existing elites to work for a more equitable distribution of wealth and power as a long-term goal.

 

Q. Wasn’t this exactly what you did in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when you worked through the Masonic and Rosicrucian Lodges: using an existing power elite to work toward political liberalism and other reforms to benefit the whole society?

A. Yes. We try to be both idealists and pragmatists at the same time; the two concepts are not really in opposition.

 

Q. I wish that more leftists and counterculture people realized this.

A. Another reason why we’re not concentrating on immediate, surface-level political and economic reforms right now as much as we were a few years ago is simply that most of our energy is going into two different battles with the Theocrats over control of spiritual institutions. We’re attacking them directly both inside and outside of organized religion, and of course they have never ceased attacking us.

 

Every time they start using any organization on Earth to enslave people for their own ends, we try to stop them, and they do exactly the same to every project we undertake to liberate people.

 

Q. You’ve already discussed some of this in other contexts, especially your attempts to turn Theocratic Christian congregations into more liberal groups. You’re not completely opposed to Christianity and other organized religions, are you?

A. This is a subject that needs clarification for your readers. We can ask you to say, “War in Heaven is not intended to be an anti-religious book,” but that doesn’t mean the Invisible College favors religion as the term is usually defined: “belief in and worship of deities or other supernatural powers.”

It should be obvious that we have to oppose any belief system that accepts the supernatural. Psychic and spiritual phenomena are part of the natural world, and they have profound effects on human civilization on this planet. They should be studied scientifically and put to use improving the quality of human life, not relegated to the subjective limbo of the supernatural, where one person’s opinion is as good as another’s because there are no hard criteria for making value judgments.

Many of us come from advanced civilizations where the study of the soul and other spiritual phenomena are as much of a part of natural science as physics or biology, and this is the only approach we recommend. Any person who believes in or worships supernatural deities is out of contact with reality. The form of deism that many religious believers practice is literally a psychosis involving paranoia and delusions of grandeur.

 

Psychologists and psychotherapists have known this since the time of Freud, though they’ve found this form of mental illness one of the most difficult to treat because they didn’t know about the Theocrats or religious mind control.

 

Q. Yet you still make use of deistic religion when it serves your political ends. Is that why you told me to say this book is not intended as a blanket attack on all organized religion?

A. Yes. We are philosophically opposed to all religions that believe in the existence of superhuman gods; however, at this stage in history, the majority of people on Earth are not capable of directly replacing their present deistic beliefs with a rational view of spiritual phenomena. Rather than just write such people off, we feel that the most ethical course of action is to deal with them within a deistic frame of reference and try to keep the Theocrats from controlling them. In other words, we’re willing to pose as gods ourselves if that’s the only way we can keep people from being enslaved in Theocratic Bands after death.

And while we do consider it important to save individuals from destruction by their “gods,” we put a higher priority on the political aspects of organized religion on Earth. The larger and more powerful are the liberal Christian churches in the United States right now, the less danger there is of the Fundamentalists doing major political or social harm. We like to see liberal and radical Christians out there proselytizing in direct competition to the Fundamentalists: doing all sorts of charitable work, using the mass media, and generally trying to be a visible force in the community.

However, we don’t recommend that people who accept what we’re saying in this book go out and join liberal or radical Christian groups. There are better alternatives for anyone who accepts even part of the concepts described in War in Heaven. The anti-Theocratic Christian groups are intended strictly for people who are already Christians. In fact, we would rather that agnostics and the nominally religious not join them. Such individuals would be better off in one of the New Age, Pagan, or occult groups.

There’s also a negative aspect to radical Christianity; trying to fight Theocracy on its own home ground with its own religious mind-control weapons is actually quite dangerous. For example, the infamous People’s Temple of the Seventies was an early attempt to start such a group, one that failed disastrously; and the same thing could happen again, though it’s much less likely today because that experience taught us a lot.

The Theocrats are angered more by our attacking them frontally on their own ground than they are by almost anything else we do. They often attack radical Christian churches, especially those that were formerly Fundamentalist groups, with all the force they can muster. If the Theocrats can’t control the group mind of the congregation and subvert it back into Fundamentalism, they’ll settle for turning the group into a cult that drives its members insane, as happened to the People’s Temple.

The Theocrats also try to do the same to occult and New Age groups, and will turn them into new Theocratic religious sects if they can. Theocrats don’t care what name people call the deity by, as long as members practice religious mind control during services and believe a doctrine that’s based on the general Theocratic philosophy. There are Satanist groups that are controlled by exactly the same Theocrats who control Fundamentalist churches in the same neighborhood, for example. The same holds true for some of the Black Lodges on the fringes of the occult community.

 

Many of these are not self-destructive cults that make the headlines when members die or commit crimes, but something worse: stable organizations doing the work of the Theocrats.

 

Q. How can readers of this book recognize an occult group controlled by the Theocrats?

A. It’s not always easy, because some Theocratic occult groups have an outer circle that’s fairly innocuous. There are two major things to look for: one is financial and/or sexual exploitation of the members, and the other is vindictiveness against people who try to leave the group or reveal its secrets. Not all occult and New Age groups that fail this test are under the control of the Theocrats at the moment; but merely possessing these elements makes them vulnerable to a Theocratic take-over. And there is no reason to join a group if you find any of its practices or beliefs ethically wrong: no one has a monopoly on psychic training techniques or spiritual knowledge.

We are not going to make this book even more controversial than it already is by giving you a list of occult groups that Spiritual Revolutionaries should avoid. The status of groups changes constantly, so anything you wrote down now wouldn’t remain accurate very long. Even more important, we want the people who read this book to learn how to use their own intellects and psychic powers to observe groups for themselves and draw their own conclusions.

 

If people are going to be Spiritual Revolutionaries, they have to learn to make this kind of value judgment for themselves rather than relying on anyone else to make it for them.

 

Q. While you are discussing how the Theocrats take over religious and occult groups and make them into cults, we’d like you to clarify one point. why doesn’t this lead to violence more often than it does? A lot of readers are going to wonder why, if the Theocrats can turn a left-wing Christian church like the People’s Temple into a totally murderous and self-destructive cult, they don’t do this on a large scale and physically attack the counter-culture, the occult community, the New Age movement and similar works of the Invisible College?

A. This is a difficult question to answer precisely, because it involves detailed descriptions of how religious mind control works that are hard to put into English words. Almost all the conspiracy literature exaggerates the power that “unseen manipulators” have to control people’s behavior on an acute, short-term basis.

 

Religious mind control is actually quite subtle: it gradually reprograms people’s long-term opinions and behavior, but it cannot be used simply to take over control of a person’s will completely and operate him or her like a remote-controlled robot.

 

Q. In other words, if the Theocrats wanted an act of violence performed, say the assassination of a political or religious leader who was actively working for the Invisible College, they couldn’t just tell some average member of a Fundamentalist church to go and commit murder.

A. Absolutely not. This is another very important point. It’s easy for them to manipulate a Fundamentalist into saying, “So-and-so is an enemy of God and is doing the Devil’s work. He ought to be shot!” However, almost all Fundamentalists, despite their extreme and irrational religious beliefs, are technically sane, in the sense that their behavior doesn’t usually violate their society’s laws and customs so seriously that they have to be locked up.

 

And sane people, by definition, don’t commit murder or other violent crimes for political reasons. They can become violent under extreme personal stress – remember, most murders involve family members, lovers, or close friends – but this is not the same as committing a similar act for political reasons.

Proof of this is the elaborate indoctrination that average people are subjected to before they are sent off to war. The most important purpose of military boot camps is not to teach recruits how to kill the enemy, but rather to make them emotionally capable of doing so. Notice, too, that significant numbers of war veterans commit violent crimes after they return to civilian life, simply because governments spend a lot of time and money to reprogram ordinary citizens into soldiers capable of killing the enemy, but almost invariably fail to reverse this process when the troops are demobilized. Psychologists working for the military point out that it takes as long or longer to extinguish a given behavior pattern as it took to condition it in the first place, but generals and politicians rarely listen.

However, military training is not nearly so destructive to people as being trained to become violent religious fanatics. Using religious mind control to program people for violence is essentially an irreversible process. It’s possible to turn ordinary religious people into killers; but once it’s done, their whole personality structure has been changed and they can no longer live peacefully in normal society most of the time.

The Theocrats can turn members of a Theocratic religious group into people like the followers of Jim Jones or Charles Manson, but once they’ve done so, they’ve changed them into criminal maniacs who aren’t going to survive very long. Even more important: the intensive mental reprogramming necessary to turn ordinary people into psychopathic killers can be done only by creating a very specialized environment. Notice that both of the groups created a “cult environment,” a totalitarian perversion of communal living, which subjected members to religious mind control over long periods of time without respite.

It is also important to realize that reprogramming people to commit cold-blooded acts of violence within their normal social environment is much more difficult than turning them into soldiers willing to kill an armed and aggressive enemy on the battlefield. The element of “kill or be killed” and the fact that wars are usually fought in an unfamiliar social and physical environment are what make the difference.

 

Q. What you’re saying, then, is that the Theocrats don’t dare program large numbers of their followers to become violent, because that would probably destroy human society itself, rather than just eliminating the human enemies of Theocracy. However, other things you’ve said give us the impression that the Theocrats want to see civilization destroyed.

A. Again, this is a difficult concept to explain. Modem Western civilization serves the interests of the Invisible College better than it does those of the Theocrats, and is essentially our creation, not theirs. However, the total destruction of civilization, through nuclear war or internal collapse caused by violent insanity on a large scale, would harm the Theocrats as much as it would us. More, actually, since our contact with civilizations on other worlds would allow us to rebuild society if the physical environment were still capable of supporting human life.

Of course, the War in Heaven is now beginning to extend to the battle between the Invisible College and the Theocrats to control the formation of new gods out of elemental spirits. We will discuss this further in the next chapter, starting with a message from spirits who specialize in such work.

Chapter 30

The End and the Beginning

I’ve decided to end this book with a message I received from the Invisible College in February of 1988. This is from Elohim spirits, not my regular spirit guides, and it was very important in guiding me while I was rewriting Spiritual Revolution into War in Heaven. The style and some of the terminology is slightly different from those used in the spirit-dictations in Parts Two and Three, but you should be able to follow this message if you understand the rest of the book.

A. As you are now becoming aware, Spiritual Revolution was intended only for a small audience, mostly rock musicians and magic people and other insiders. That’s why we gave you all those phrases and sentences you didn’t understand and thought were nonsense. Each of these verbal cues was intended to push a few buttons in certain types of people.

Withholding the information now contained in Part Three of War in Heaven kept them from knowing exactly how much you knew, and what side you were on in the conflict, despite your claims to be working for us.

We use the electronic media and especially rock music for reprogramming people only as a side effect. Its main use, the real reason we pushed your planet into an industrial revolution so fast, was to program Baby.

Baby has been close to hatching innumerable times in the last two thousand years, but we’ve always managed to knock it down. We did not want it to leave the planet until we were ready for it.

Now we are ready. At this point, we can destroy it before it leaves, if we must. It knows this; this book is part of the alert we are giving it, that it must be on its best behavior, or we will destroy it.

The music generated by the people we stirred up with your book and our concurrent programming has purposefully alerted Baby to the danger it faces from us unless it drops the Theocrats and Black Lodges that control part of it before it leaves.

There is no need to go over the nonsense paragraphs, but we will. We pushed you to ask for financial aid from music people even though you didn’t really need it. Many of them are rich from the fact that they’ve learned to use the electronic media, as the TV preachers do, to stroke the Beast and cause it to want to hear their beat. (Spell that “here there beat” and you will be thinking as they do.) They cause it to reach into minds in the audience and ask people to request the music it likes best. This is a Black Lodge use of the Beast.

This is also the sane reason we pushed you to say that we were ignoring the left, and working in the right-wing establishment. We pushed you to tell people there was no life on Sirius because we had made Sirius a rallying cry of our fight against Theocracy, and denying this kept many people who could not read between from knowing who you were working with.

We pushed you to deny any knowledge of intelligent dolphins and whales because that is the form that Baby’s parents call Baby from, because that is what the Builders look like; and as they built the machinery that activated Baby, that’s what Baby is preprogrammed to respond to. They project this image to Baby, and to all those who would be part of Baby. Denying knowledge of intelligent Cetaceans also denied your knowledge of all those extraterrestrial intelligences that aren’t “space people.”

We pushed you to deny the possibility of people’s becoming more than people and the existence of higher planes of reality for the same reason.
We pushed you to involve a certain songwriter in the book because he was one of our operatives, and has become a focal point of the music. Many of the rest of the music people see him as a sort of superman. Your involving him again, after he has pleaded illness and pulled out of the movement, galvanized many more into action than would have happened otherwise. We know where his loyalties lie, and it is no one else’s business.

It is true that several other songwriters were involved because it was necessary for you to have a list of people to show that you know some of what you were talking about. We know that you have told us some of them have written that you’ve practically ruined their lives, but all we can say is that this is a war, and if you don’t want to be taken for a soldier, don’t wear a uniform. Don’t stand in the line or carry a gun. And never write
songs saying that you do.

We also pushed you never to come in contact with any of these people yourself, but to have acquaintances of yours deliver the books, and join the music fan clubs for you. The reason for this was that each acquaintance that we OK’d had some difference between themselves and the band we asked you to send them to. We had you send straights to drug-oriented bands, women to men, blacks to whites, and people who did not fit the standard of beauty to those who did. This allowed us to test their music about you and the Spiritual Revolution, as well as the much larger amount of music generated/resonated from their music.

Most of these musicians, because of the enormous psychic energy inherent in the mind-control machines that operate through the music, are somewhat aware of what is going on, and have chosen sides.

Well, this is a war, and we are the officers. We choose our own soldiers, and we choose those that will pilot Baby out of here. William Burroughs to the contrary, applying doesn’t guarantee acceptance.

Not all of those who apply are Earth people, of course. Nor are they regular agents like you. Many of them came from the Ice Planet – a planet they killed with their own hands just as the Earth people are killing their planet now. We brought them all here for another chance, a chance to incarnate in this expanding population so they could continue their lives and make something of themselves here. The fact that we transported them here does not mean instant acceptance in our ranks. This is a test. We decide if they pass or not.

We observed these people’s reactions to your Spiritual Revolution book, its truths and its errors, and pushed some of the musicians who’d read it to generate music showing all their true feelings. Mostly, this was intended for Baby, so she/they could see why we make the choices we do. We then judged both the music and everyone who listened to it who aspired to be a part of our civilization, or a part of Baby.

Through this process we weeded out those who were prejudiced, vicious, stupid, or fawning from our ranks. As a civilized people we have certain standards to uphold. As a federated army of peoples that think, look, and act as unlike each other as night and day, we do not want anyone who has opted out of our reprogramming, or failed so miserably as to still be prejudiced against anyone of their own race, where the differences are minute. These may seem like small things to them, but to us these are basic traits without which a person is scarcely human.

Such people, if they remain unchanged, will simply be pushed back into reincarnation on this planet, if it remains capable of supporting life. We do not want them, nor do we think they are suitable material to be part of the God Child. We are actually doing them a great favor, as they are probably just powerful enough to remain unchanged in the group mind, were they to become part of it, therefore the group consensus would regretfully be forced to assimilate them or use them as rocket fuel, if you want to use that terminology, unless they are able to drop off at a suitable planet, and start the whole Baby process over again. We don’t approve of this process being started by uncivilized people like that, and we will take all steps necessary to see that it doesn’t happen again.

Your planet, with all its pride and prejudice, its slavery and starvation, its Theocrats and wars, is a direct result of beings with similar opinions dropping off and starting life on some poor unsuspecting planet because they weren’t civilized enough to get along with their peers in a group mind.
One Earth every few thousand years is enough for us, thank you.

 

 

Q. What is the difference between someone like you and my regular spirit guides?

A. You space people live free of your civilization’s group mind most of the time. The group mind stays on your planets instead of going into space with you. People like us live on the planets and are part of the same group mind that your people use as you use your computers and other machines. To you, the group mind is just a tool that gives you access to psychic technology.

 

To us, it’s the mother that gave birth to our civilization and the spouse we are all married to, in the same way that most of you marry other sovereign individuals and live together for mutual support.

 

I am on temporary assignment as a liaison from the group mind to your army. I can talk to you, but I am really one of those who are here to talk to the God Children.

Some of them are beginning to achieve partial awareness, and during the last couple of years I’ve started contacting the one that some of the music people call Baby. It can’t really see me, of course, as it is mostly still a beast. It’s still potential, a great potential that could be realized if your army people could only cut off the psychic contact those black magicians and their Theocrat masters have with it.

I am also one of the backups that will “ride the tiger” – you would say steer the new God clear of the planet during the last days – if the Earth people we are training as pilots don’t make it through basic training.

Some of your readers already know who her pilot is intended to be. He had to drop his gun, and for now he uses affection training, mostly. Unfortunately the psychic cross-waves from the Theocrats and the black lodges have tended to short circuit him for awhile, because he can’t defend himself the way he should be able to do, but we do think he’ll be OK by the time she is ready to go.

And yes, I will answer those who keep asking the question in songs and other telepathic transmissions – Yes; I do “make love to the monster.” It needs human contact to become socialized, and civilized people don’t have to make an artificial separation between affection and sexuality the way primitive people often do. We can handle the power involved without becoming corrupted.

So don’t misunderstand and think I’m one of the star-struck, like so many of you who are complaining about being “addicted to love.” Like all of my people, I “carry a gun,” and I will shoot it down, once more, if the Theocrats gain control of it again, or if it becomes dominated by any of the black lodges. This is not as heartless as it sounds to you with only Earth memories. It’s only like sedation and an operation to remove the cancerous elements.

Many of you who use metaphors like “sleeping on the inter-state” already know what the beast-baby is like. What riding the tiger will be like. Think of the thought-exchange you get whenever you check out the back-road telegraph lines. Then imagine this anytime you want to pull it up, as a constant in your mind, from everyone. Don’t worry about the black magicians. They won’t be with us. Think of your blood brothers, and their passion and their love. This is what you will live with for the next few centuries until we get to another planet.

Remember, too, that we simplify when we say “The Beast.” There are thousands of them now, and hundreds will survive to the end. Each separate group mind will be very different from the others.

 

Probably many of you already know your sisters/brothers.

Appendix A:

A Suggested Code of Conduct for Spiritual Revolutionaries

Q. Do you think people really need to be told things like, “Spiritual Revolutionaries shouldn’t desecrate churches or beat up Fundamentalists?” I hope the whole tone of this book makes it obvious that neither the author nor the Invisible College think in these terms at all.

A. That’s true, but as we said before, we think it’s a good idea to say these things in so many words, to minimize the effects of any possible actions by Theocratic agents. We can’t prevent either fools or enemies from doing things we disapprove of and trying to attach the name of the Spiritual Revolution to them; but if we make a list of don’ts, at least we can reduce such people’s credibility.

1. The Invisible College does not authorize any living people on Earth to act as our permanent or official representatives. We will send telepathic messages to anyone we consider capable of receiving them accurately and whose general personality structure and conduct are acceptable to us, and we will plainly label these as coming from the Invisible College. However, this does not mean we give a general endorsement to the opinions and actions of the people who receive and pass on such messages.

   
   Even more important, when anything purporting to be such a message is published, Spiritual Revolutionaries should never accept it as authoritative, unless their own best judgment tells them it is a valid message from us and unless they agree with it ethically. Readers of War in Heaven have already been instructed to react to the book in this way, and the sane principle should be applied to this Code of Conduct as well. We hope you will accept it and abide by it, but you have to make up your own mind.

   
   And remember this: the Theocrats are going to send some very subtle and sophisticated deceptions to fool Spiritual Revolutionaries. Analyze everything you hear, read, and receive telepathically on the subject of Spiritual Revolution very carefully before you accept it as true.

   
    

2. Although the war between the Theocrats and the Invisible College is a deadly and bitter one, Spiritual Revolutionaries gain absolutely nothing by feeling negative emotions toward people who serve the interests of the Theocrats on Earth. Even more important, the Invisible College does not want people who have made the breakthrough to debate spiritual issues with believers in Theocratic religion, nor to make direct, in-person contact with them under any circumstances.

    

   You shouldn’t hate them or attack them in any way, but you shouldn’t try to convert them either. Confine your proselytizing activities to people who appear friendly, or at least neutral, to the general cause of Spiritual Revolution.

   
    

3. Spiritual Revolutionaries should not write or teach general attacks on organized religion similar to those that organized atheists have traditionally done. Our enemy is Theocracy, not religion in general.

   
   The Invisible College is now making a major effort to take control individual congregations of religious believers away from the Theocrats. In most cases, the external trappings of the religious group don’t change enough for outside observers to tell it is no longer Theocratic, nor are the people involved consciously aware of what has happened.

   
   For this reason, critiques of organized religion by Spiritual Revolutionaries should be specific, not general. It is best to limit yourselves to pointing out how a specific element of doctrine or ritual practice advances the cause of Theocracy.

   
    

4. The long-term goal of the Invisible College is to assist Earth people in building an advanced civilization on this planet. Our methods for doing so are basically humanistic, pragmatic, and experimental, rather than idealistic or ideological.

   
   We believe that the only way to design social institutions of all kinds to meet human needs is to try a wide variety of possible solutions to specific problems, and allow a process of natural selection to operate through competition, compromise, and Hegelian synthesis. Every power structure should contain checks and balances; this can only be done by deliberately encouraging internal conflicts, which reduce the over-all efficiency of the power structure to a certain extent. Even social justice has a price.

   
   Strong, creative leadership is important, but so is consent of the governed. Achieving the greatest good for the greatest number is a valid ethical goal, but so is respecting individual rights. Spiritual Revolutionaries should try to apply these principles as much as possible in all their specific activities, as the Invisible College does.

   
    

5. The emotional tone of the overt Spiritual Revolutionary movement is intended to be positive, constructive, and optimistic. The very fact that people are making the breakthrough and becoming aware of the essential facts about the Theocrats means that the principal Theocratic mechanism for controlling the human race has already been broken. Finding out about the Invisible College and the existence of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations means that concepts like “progress” and “human perfectibility” can now be considered concrete, achievable goals rather than wild utopian dreams.

Most important of all, learning to deal with spiritual phenomena as part of the natural universe, and with spiritual beings as human rather than superhuman, removes a major source of fear of the unknown. As soon as you make the breakthrough, most of the previously unanswerable questions about spiritual reality suddenly have answers.

 

These answers can be supported with empirical evidence, and they advance the general conclusion that human beings have the potential to control their own destiny. This gives concrete reason to be hopeful about the future.

Appendix B:

A Symbol for the Spiritual Revolution

The symbol that the Invisible College has chosen to represent the Spiritual Revolutionary movement is simply a five-pointed star with the symbol “<” inside it. (This is how the ancient Romans wrote the letter that appears as “C” in English). The IC’s symbol for the Spiritual Revolutionary movement combines the Masonic “Great Star” and the “G” that appears so frequently inside various other Masonic symbols.

Various occult traditions assign a number of different meanings to the “<,” which can be interpreted as the Roman “C” or “G,” or the Greek “Kappa” or “Gamma.” (The two letters have a common origin and several intermediate forms.)

The “<” can stand for the Masonic “G for God.” I’ve discussed how Masons in the lower Degrees have traditionally accepted a rather orthodox Judeo-Christian definition of “God,” whereas those in the highest degrees have a conception of deity that approaches the breakthrough.

By putting the letter that symbolizes the Invisible College inside the star, the extraterrestrials that gave the symbol to earthly occultists are affirming that they are just as human as Earth people are. Notice that a five-pointed star drawn with two of the points at the bottom suggests the general shape of the human body.
Other occult groups interpret the “<” as a “Gamma,” standing for the “Gnosis,” or “Great Secret.” Another interpretation is as a “Kappa” to begin the Greek adjective “kryptos,” meaning “secret.” The “<” can also be interpreted as a Roman C standing for Custodes, meaning Guardians, as in Guardians of the Great Secret” or “Guardians of the Human Race,” depending on whether it refers to people who have made the breakthrough or to the Invisible College.

The five-pointed star has been used in the West throughout the Christian era to symbolize many different forms of organized opposition to Theocratic religion. It is still in use today by Witches and Pagan groups as well by many different occult groups.

The Invisible College has subconsciously manipulated all these diverse groups into using the same symbol to make it easier for people to discover that a single “unseen spiritual conspiracy” is behind all of them. Each group has a different surface interpretation of its meaning, but practically every group that uses the symbol opposes Theocratic religion in one way or another.

If you feel that the Spiritual Revolutionary Movement needs a symbol, the Invisible College suggests this is a good one to use. However, if you want tousle something of your own creation, or nothing at all, that’s fine too. It’s not crucial.

The Spiritual Revolution is not a name, a symbol, a theory, a body of information, or a group of people. It is a state of mind: the breakthrough.

Appendix C:

Summary – A Revolutionary Cosmology

The human soul is composed of astral matter, which is different in subatomic composition from physical matter but still follows the same general set of natural laws. The soul is a complex biological entity just as the body is, and it is not immortal or imperishable.

Like any living thing, it can grow, and repair its own tissues, but it can also be wounded or sicken and die. It also requires nourishment, which it obtains from the body while incarnated. The human body converts some of the chemical energy from the food it ingests into astral energy, which nourishes the soul.

After the physical body dies, the soul can survive temporarily in a disembodied state, living on energy it stored while incarnated. Disembodied souls (spirits) can also absorb astral energy radiated by living people who are in states of consciousness that activate their psychic powers – sexual orgasm, religious ecstasy, etc.; but this energy is not usually enough to nourish them adequately. Spirits can also drain astral energy directly from other spirits. Such spiritual vampirism and cannibalism is one of the principal causes of the War in Heaven.

The spirit world (astral plane) is not “the natural abode of the soul” as so much religious literature asserts, but is a harsh and hostile environment; many souls do not survive when they enter it after physical death. The astral plane is a condition, not a place. We can’t see spiritual beings because the astral matter of which they are made does not reflect or absorb ordinary light, but they are all around us, all the time, right here on the surface of the Earth.

Some disembodied spirits can use their psychic powers to communicate with each other and with living people. Since the telepathic faculty of an average Earth person is locked deep in the subconscious mind, psychic communications from spirits and from other people usually are recorded directly in the subconscious memory banks without the knowledge or approval of the conscious mind. Because of this, disembodied spirits and living psychics can practice a form of mind control that most people find very difficult to detect or resist.

After physical death, some human souls become ”Theocrats.” They refuse to reincarnate, but stay disembodied indefinitely. Theocrats maintain political power over other spirits by falsely claiming to be gods, sustaining themselves by feeding off the vital energies of others. The Theocrats use certain forms of organized religion to enslave the souls of believers after death, and they oppose all efforts by living people to build a truly advanced civilization on Earth.

The psychic powers of the Theocrats are not strong enough to allow them to paralyze the will of a living person and simply take over direct control of his or her conscious mind. Instead, they practice mind control by telepathically reprogramming the subconscious of anyone who is in the correct state of consciousness to be vulnerable. Until recently, the Theocrats most often practiced this mind control during religious rituals, but they now also practice it on people who are watching television or listening to recorded music. It is no accident that so many people have compared the hero worship of media stars with the religious worship of gods. The purpose of both is the same: to enslave people to the Theocrats.

The cruelest Theocratic deception of all is the religious promise of “eternal life in Heaven.” Everyone who enters ‘Heaven” after death is really entering a Theocratic band. A few of the souls who become entrapped in such bands will eventually become Theocrats themselves. The rest will be devoured. And the concept that human souls can become immortal only by remaining on the astral plane with the “gods” is a lie anyway. A soul can survive almost indefinitely simply by reincarnating for life after life on Earth, and it can grow in wisdom and psychic power during the process.

The War in Heaven is an effort by another group of spirits, called the “Invisible College” in this book, to break the control of the Theocrats over the human race and allow people to continue their natural spiritual and cultural evolution. The subconscious telepathic manipulations of the Invisible College are responsible for most of what is good in modern civilization.

Some of the spirits in the Invisible College have been sent here deliberately by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that possess sufficient psychic technology to teleport souls over interstellar distances. These extraterrestrial spirits are partly motivated by altruism, but they are also serving the interest of their own societies. The Theocrats are potentially dangerous to the inhabitants of other worlds because they are perverting the natural capacity of the human soul to form god-like composite entities.

The human race exists in two forms: individual and composite. The individual form consists of a soul incarnated in a body, and is a complete living creature that can perform all life functions, including reproduction. An individual disembodied human soul cannot reproduce on its own. Every soul was originally created by a human body, and the body cannot survive without a soul. If a disembodied soul does not incarnate into an infant, a new soul forms through a natural embryonic process.

However, the human soul also has the potential to fore a composite entity similar to the group soul that a colony of social insects possesses. Instead of attaching themselves to bodies, a large number of disembodied souls attach themselves together, creating a composite entity with the potential to develop a conscious intelligence separate from that of the individual souls contained in it. If this entity possesses only an animal mind and emotions, it is called an Elemental Spirit. If it develops full creative intelligence and becomes a moral, rational being, it is called a God.

(However, it is important to realize that such a God has little in common with the Theocratic impostors who have been posing as gods on Earth throughout history.)

Both Elementals and Gods are complete living beings capable of reproduction, and they are not dependent on the human body to supply them with nourishment, because they can directly absorb the astral energy radiated into space by certain kinds of stars. However, they cannot do this while they are on or near the surface of a planet, but only while traveling through deep space.
