Q. You’ve already mentioned the Invisible College many times in this
book, implying the general meaning of “those spirits on Earth’s
astral plane who are active, conscious enemies of Theocracy.” At
this point, I’d like to discuss this organization in greater detail.
What kinds of spirits belong to it, and exactly what does it do to
fight against the Theocrats?
A. The Invisible College isn’t an organization by the usual
definition of that term, because it doesn’t have a political
structure that all members recognize. The name is just a collective
term in common use on the astral plane to describe all disembodied
spirits who are not members of Theocratic bands and are not merely
lost souls wandering around helpless because they can’t function
effectively in the spirit world.
A synonym in wide use is “free
spirits,” which contains a play on words because “free” is used in
two senses at once. It means “free of Theocratic control”
simultaneously with “free to move around the astral plane at will
and communicate telepathically with other spirits.”
There are three main groups of spirits in the Invisible College:
-
enlightened ones
-
magicians
-
space people
The first major group of spirits in the Invisible College is the
enlightened ones. Most of these spirits were highly advanced in
spiritual knowledge and the use of their psychic powers during life,
but they were also devout believers in some sect of the Eastern
religious system that includes Vedanta and
Buddhism.
They were wise
enough to refuse to join the Theocratic bands associated with their
particular sect after death, because they could psychically perceive
the enslavement and exploitation going on in the various Heavens.
(Few of the Western occultists who have called themselves
“Illuminati” or some other synonym of “enlightened ones” join this
group after physical death; most become magicians or Theocrats.)
The enlightened ones could be very useful to our cause, but few of
them are willing to stay on the astral plane and help actively fight
Theocracy. They believe that the Theocratic perversions of Heaven
they observe there are illusions, and that perceiving such illusions
proves that they are not yet advanced enough to liberate themselves
from the cycle of rebirth. So they go back and live another earthly
life, always hoping that the next time they die they will be worthy
to enter the true Heaven.
They consider the War in Heaven an
illusion and run away from it, back into earthly existence, which
they also consider illusory.
Q. The idea that much of the universe is “maya” (illusion) is
extremely common in Eastern religion and in Western occultism. Where
did it come from?
A. It’s just theocratic propaganda, and the refusal of the
enlightened ones to help in the war against Theocracy is a perfect
example of how effective it is. Physical life on Earth is no
illusion, nor is existence as a disembodied spirit on the astral
plane. What’s illusory is the claim of the Theocrats to be the
gods
of various religions, and the lie that their Heavens offer the human
soul eternal life.
Q. Do any of the saints in the Judeo-Christian religions become
enlightened ones after death?
A. This is extremely rare. Most of them become Theocrats if they are
devout members of Theocratic churches during life. However, some
people who claimed to work miracles through faith in religious
doctrine have become magician spirits after death.
They were really
occultists whose faith was merely a sham to allow them to work
within the religious establishment.
Q. I’ve always had an instinctive feeling that Vedanta and Buddhism
are less exploitative of believers than Judeo-Christianity, even
though I knew that the Eastern religions aren’t as different from
the Western ones as many Americans believe because they can’t tell
Eastern occultism from the mainstream of Eastern religion. The
information you’ve just been giving about the enlightened ones
probably explains why I felt this way.
Even believers in the Western
religious systems whose psychic powers are highly developed are
still quite vulnerable to being enslaved by the Theocrats after
death, whereas similar people in the East often remain free of
Theocratic control and go on incarnating. I assume this happens
because the Eastern religions teach belief in reincarnation as part
of their official doctrine.
A. This is correct. However, the actual political structure of
Judeo-Christian Theocracy on the astral plane is somewhat more
complex than we described previously. In reality, the Theocrats in
charge of bands force many advanced souls within these religions to
reincarnate, because such spirits don’t make very good subordinate
Theocrats but are too valuable to the religion as a whole to kill.
The average Theocratic spirit that we have described so far realizes
that religious doctrine and mythology are lies and is cynically
seeking immortality and political power. The enlightened ones,
although they possess a high degree of spiritual knowledge and
psychic development, still actually believe in the doctrine.
Therefore, if they joined a Theocratic band and observed first-hand
how it operates, they might rebel. Because of this, the leaders of
Theocratic bands usually persuade such spirits to return to Earth to
further the interests of the religion.
The
Christian Bible contains
references to this, if you know what to look for.
Q. Do you mean the passages in which various people ask
Jesus if he
is Elias or some other Hebrew prophet returned to Earth?
A. Yes. Liberal Christians often use passages of this type as
Scriptural authority to support reincarnation, which, of course,
they are.
Q. But Jesus denied he was the reincarnation of any Hebrew prophet.
A. He did, but it was just a simple “No” to the specific questions.
The questions themselves presented him with a perfect opportunity to
make a definitive statement denying the existence of reincarnation,
and he didn’t take it. This suggests that the author of the passage
was an enemy of Theocracy and knew elements of the Great Secret.
To get back to the point we were discussing, the Theocrats persuade
many of the saints in Western fourth-stage Theocratic religion to
reincarnate. Often, they become charismatic preachers who win large
numbers of new converts, or religious leaders who increase the power
of churches over the whole of society.
In the process, they may
become so corrupted by earthly power that they eventually become
Theocrats.
Q. Do any of these souls ever see the fallacies in their religious
beliefs and become enemies of Theocracy, if they are raised in the
right environment when they reincarnate on Earth?
A. It sometimes happens, but rarely. The Western fourth-stage
Theocratic religions are actually more sophisticated than the
Eastern religions and much harder to break out of once you get taken
in. This is because the Eastern religions teach reincarnation as
part of their doctrine, and because occultists are allowed to work
within the total structure of the official religion, rather than
being cast out of it and openly persecuted as in the West.
The second major group in the Invisible College is the magicians.
The term “magician” is used very loosely to refer to people who made
effective conscious use of their psychic powers while alive, and did
not voluntarily join a Theocratic band after death. It is a very
diverse group, and the spirits that compose it belonged to many
different cultures and social classes during life.
Many magician spirits belonged to the Spiritualists, Theosophists,
Rosicrucians, or other well-known Western occult groups during life.
Others belonged to occult groups that are usually labeled as Pagan
religions, such as Witchcraft, Voodoo, Santeria, etc. Still others
had been commercial fortunetellers or psychic healers.
(Many of the
magicians in this last category considered themselves Christians and
performed their psychic activities “in the name of Christ.” However,
the Theocratic churches were afraid of their conscious psychic
activities and banned them from membership, so they kept their
freedom after death.)
In the East, many martial-arts experts, Yogis, Tantrists, Zen
Masters, Sufis, etc., become magician spirits after death, as do
people who make their living doing divination or practicing psychic
healing. The shamans of the surviving first-stage religions also
often join the magician spirits when they die.
What all these spirits have in common is that they had wide
practical experience with the operational use of their psychic
powers when they were alive. (This includes some people who had
possessed highly developed psychic powers during life but were never
consciously aware of them.) The average magician had definite
religious beliefs during life, but these were not strong enough to
compel joining a Theocratic band after death. Magicians, living or
disembodied, tend to be practical people, not mystics or “true
believers.
Most of the spirit guides who assist occultists all over the world
in obtaining spiritual knowledge and in learning conscious control
of their psychic powers are magicians. The Theocrats are seriously
frightened of the work these spirits do, which explains why
Fundamentalist propaganda contains such stern warnings against
contacting them.
Q. Yes. This accounts for all the propaganda against
Ouija boards
and other aids that help people achieve independent, consciously
controlled contact with disembodied spirits. In the light of my
present knowledge, all the warnings about demonic possession through
engaging in mediumistic workings seem especially ironic: it looks to
me as if the spirit-contact that Fundamentalists achieve at services
using religious mind control are much closer to the descriptions of
“possession” than what happens to occultists when they hold
mediumistic conversations with spirits.
A. That is another important point this book has to make.
Q. What else do the magicians in the
Invisible College do besides
passing information to people with conscious mediumistic powers?
A. This is actually one of the less important things they do,
because there aren’t very many conscious spirit mediums. However,
the magician spirits can communicate telepathically with a much
larger segment of the living population on a strictly subconscious
level, and do so very frequently. Such spirits are responsible for
many experiences that people call prophetic dreams, flashes of
insight, hunches, intuition, instinctive knowledge, etc.
However,
some of the experiences assigned these names are entirely the
product of the person’s own subconscious imagination or psychic
powers. There’s usually no way to tell the difference.
Q. At this point, it seems necessary to bring up a point that may
worry some readers. It’s quite natural for people to say,
“I don’t
like the idea that a spirit or another person can plant in my mind
an idea I will consider the product of my own memory or creative
powers. This is an invasion of my privacy and of my right to make
decisions for myself.”
From a purely ethical standpoint, I have to
agree completely with this statement.
A. All we can say is,
“Would you rather be drafted into the army to
fight against beings as evil as Hitler, or to fight on their side?”
Most Earth people simply don’t have the psychic strength or
spiritual knowledge to remain neutral in the war between the
Theocrats and the Invisible College.
If we don’t manipulate them
subconsciously, then the Theocrats will do so anyway. We justify
this according to our own code of ethics simply by applying the
principle of “greatest good.” An individual influenced by both the
IC and the Theocrats has more freedom in the long run than one
manipulated by the Theocrats alone.
We still have to deal with the issue of “informed consent,” but this
book and hundreds of similar attempts to communicate the same
information are intended to provide the general public with the
information they need to make a choice. And this is what we are
really talking about when we say we want people to “make a personal
breakthrough in spiritual consciousness.”
We want them to learn
enough about how mind control operates to avoid situations that
expose them to it.
Even now, when very few people are consciously aware of the nature
of Theocracy and the forces opposing it, our methods are still more
ethical than those of
the Theocrats and their religions. They
brainwash people with religious mind control as their strategy of
first choice, whereas we employ such methods very sparingly.
When we work with people who are consciously learning occultism, we
try to inform them exactly what is going on as well as we can. The
more spiritual information they learn and the stronger their
conscious psychic powers become, the more they are able to avoid
subconscious telepathic mind control by either side in the War in
Heaven. For example, you yourself seem to be quite capable of
questioning us on ethical matters and making your own value
judgments about what you receive in the process of writing this
book.
Let’s get back to the description of what the magician spirits in
the Invisible College do. Placing information about Theocracy in the
minds of living people is only their second most important job. The
principal service they perform for the human race is assisting other
souls in reincarnating. It’s an old Spiritualist tradition that
mediums and their spirit guides offer help to the souls of the
recently deceased that seem in distress.
This sometimes comes to the
public attention when it is done after someone has reported seeing a
ghost, but many Spiritualists do a lot more of it privately. They
consider it a good deed they can do in payment of the good that is
done for them by being in direct conscious contact with the spirit
world.
Unfortunately, the traditional Spiritualists and those of their
spirit guides who held similar beliefs during life do harm as often
as good when they attempt to aid lost souls, because most of them
lack even the most rudimentary knowledge about Theocracy.
Q. I know exactly what you mean. Only rarely do Spiritualists make
an overt attempt to help such spirits reincarnate. Instead, they
talk about such lost souls being “Earthbound” in the sense of being
confined to a portion of the astral plane in direct contact with the
Earth plane, and they try to assist the distressed spirits to enter
the “higher astral.”
Before I made the breakthrough, I had no intellectual knowledge to
make me disagree with this cosmology and the resulting treatment of
lost souls, but I always felt an instinctive emotional unease
whenever I witnessed or was told about such a ritual.
Now I know
why: the whole astral plane is in direct contact with the Earth, and
the only parts of it that give the illusion of not being closely
linked to Earth are those under the control of the Theocrats.
A. All too often, when Spiritualists and similar occultists assist
souls in “entering the higher astral,” they are actually sending
them straight into the control of some band of Theocrats, to be
enslaved and devoured. That is because the majority of Spiritualists
and the magician spirits that serve as their spirit guides are too
friendly to deistic religion and too ignorant of the realities of
life on the astral plane. This is beginning to change now, but it’s
still a major problem.
In many cases, people who had read a lot of occult literature during
life put up more resistance to understanding the true nature of
Theocracy than atheists, agnostics, and even some believers in
orthodox religion.
It’s actually easier to show religious people
that their gods are impostors than it is to show occultists that
there are no “planes higher than
the astral.”
The beliefs of the
former are easier to refute because they are simple and clear-cut.
The delusions of occultists are more complex and sophisticated.
Many of them tell us,
“OK, so some Heavens are really Hells of
psychic vampirism. I’m going to keep looking until I find one that’s
not.”
Unfortunately, there are Theocratic bands specifically
designed to entrap spirits like this, bands run by Theocrats who
were occultists themselves during life.
Q. In other words, the Invisible College faces the same problems in
dealing with people on the astral plane as I have in getting people
on Earth to accept the information described in this book. There are
thousands of years of false knowledge to overcome, and virtually
every body of available spiritual information is heavily corrupted
with Theocratic propaganda. It strikes me as miraculous that you
were able to start teaching such knowledge widely, both on the
astral plane and on Earth. Can you describe how?
A. About seven hundred years ago, scientists from our world
established two-way contact with spirits on Earth’s astral plane.
Accidents in interstellar transportation had already marooned quite
a few extraterrestrial spirits on Earth, but they were not capable
of communicating with the societies they’d come from.
(Ironically,
psychic machines capable of establishing such communication existed
on Earth’s astral plane, but none of the spirits who came here by
accident possessed the specialized skills for using them.)
Of course such spirits were forced to reincarnate periodically, and
every time they did so, they lost a portion of their original
memories. This meant that Earth people remained ignorant of the
basic facts about spiritual reality, including the true nature of
the Theocratic spirits who claim to be gods.
There were always a few
spirits around who knew the truth, but they were seldom able to
communicate more than hints of it to others before they lost the
memory of who they were and where they came from.
The two-way contact we speak of roughly coincided with the
beginnings of modern Western civilization. There are numerous
passages in occult literature from the late Middle Ages on about
telepathic conversations between mediums and spirit-entities who
resemble modern UFO-contactee descriptions of space people much more
than they do the traditional angels, demons, or spirits of deceased
Earth people. Several of these accounts include what appears to be
advanced information about physics, astronomy, and other sciences –
and is exactly that. The accounts that have survived are just a
small part of the whole.
As soon as this contact was established, spirits from advanced
civilizations started coming to Earth deliberately to attempt to
build an advanced civilization here.
The fight against Theocracy is
a necessary negative step that has to be taken before the real goal
is accomplished, which is to make the Earth a fit place for human
beings to live.
Q. Both traditional occult literature and modern UFO-contactee
stories are full of vague references to these telepathic contacts
with extraterrestrial spirits, but such stories lack sufficient
detail to make them credible. Usually, they’re just full of truisms
and banalities that don’t much impress the person who hears them.
A. This is true. It’s taken centuries to prepare people even to
think about what life in a truly advanced society would be like. The
process has to be done gradually, over a long period of time, and
most of it has been done on the level of action, not that of
intellectual theory.
Q. Why couldn’t the space people, the spirits from advanced
civilizations, take some kind of direct action against the Theocrats
right at the beginning? Logically, getting rid of the opposition of
the Theocrats would be the first step in building an advanced
civilization here, not the last.
A. It simply wasn’t possible. The space people don’t come here
physically, but as naked spirits transmitted across vast distances.
We come here with a certain amount of knowledge, a small part of
which we can communicate directly to Earth people, and with psychic
powers that are highly trained but not especially powerful in terms
of force.
The average Theocratic spirit is actually “stronger” than
one of us in terms of sheer ability to radiate psychic energy as a
disembodied spirit.
Q. Why is this? It would seem more logical to assume that your
better training would give you more raw psychic power as well.
A. This is rather hard to explain, but you should be able to grasp
at least some of it. Remember that the space people are as human as
you are, though not all of us inhabit bodies at home that resemble
yours. Every human soul is intended to link periodically to a body.
That means it has a certain size and shape, a fixed composition and
patterning of astral matter, that is natural for it.
A normal spirit
can transmit only limited amounts of astral energy through the
psychic powers. This amount of energy is actually lower, not higher,
than that which can be radiated by the psychic powers of a similar
spirit incarnated in a physical body.
Q. I’m already familiar with this idea: the incarnated soul draws
energy from the physical body to energize its psychic powers.
A. Now, the Theocratic spirits are not bound by this limitation,
because they don’t incarnate periodically and don’t have to worry
about keeping their astral soul in a natural condition. Instead,
they absorb energy from other spirits and grow as much as they can.
Abnormal growth gives them access to more internal astral energy and
hence stronger psychic powers than a normal spirit possesses.
Q. OK, I understand this. You are forced to use finesse rather than
brute strength in fighting the Theocrats, and also forced to enlist
the aid of living people in many different ways. I would also like
to point out how closely some of the matters just discussed tie in
with certain details in the Shaver Mystery as discussed in
Chapter
Two. But what about psychic technology? I know you now have access
to it.
Couldn’t space people have activated these psychic machines
long ago, and saved Earth people centuries of misery?
A. We didn’t do this until the present because the process requires
large amounts of astral energy. One of the reasons we have assisted
you in building a physical technology is so that we could tap some
of the psychic energy raised by the electronic
mind-control networks
and use it to repair and run psychic machines constructed of astral
matter.
We could have done it previously only by using the methods
employed by second-stage Theocratic religion: mass human sacrifices
and mass destruction of human souls. This is far beyond the limits
to which we will stretch our ethics. It’s a means that no end will
justify.
We will discuss psychic technology further in Part Three.
For now,
we’ll continue discussing the wars that free spirits have been
waging against Theocracy throughout history, starting with the
concept of “The Devil.”
