7 - The Cracks Appear 

Christianity loves to portray itself as the force that civilized the world. As we have seen, nothing could be further from the truth. It sought to crush all efforts to bring civilization to the Dark Ages it had created.

Part of its propaganda is to lump all pre-Christians together as ‘pagans’ and therefore heathens and savages. This is another abuse of truth. Yes, there were people in the pre-Christian world who behaved in terrible ways, but none was any worse than those who imposed Christianity. And to say that all pre-Christians were ‘heathens’ is supreme arrogance. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Quintilion, were heathens?

The very thought is hysterical.

You simply cannot divide generations and civilizations into heathen and enlightened, or good and bad. Within all civilizations, no matter how negative their overall effect, are positive people trying to do what their heart is telling them. During the worst excesses of Christianity there were many compassionate people who followed the creed, and it was the same with Islam and other religions. So it has been throughout human history.

We look back on those who peopled the Earth in the thousands of years before Christianity and believe them to be stupid savages; yet the understanding of life and creation among many of their number was more advanced than the modern world in many ways.

Their most enlightened members, often incarnations of the volunteer consciousness supported by channeled information, knew that the Earth was alive with a mind of her own. They knew of the energy system and the sacred points. The ancient Chinese applied this knowledge to the human body in what has become known as acupuncture. The ancients built the stone circles and erected standing stones on the chakras and acupuncture points of the Earth.

Many of them have an effect similar to acupuncture needles. These great structures, like Stonehenge in England, are said to be the cultish monuments of a backward people, and yet what they put into place is still at work today helping to keep the battered energy grid in some kind of order.

They were excellent channelers because they were not subjected to the tidal wave of abuse, derision, and condemnation from their society when their psychic gifts were activated as children. Their parents did not say ‘Don’t be silly’, when they saw visions of entities on other frequencies or heard their communications; so they did not shut down these channels through fear and confusion.

Naturally they were subjected to manipulation and I’m sure that some of the standing stones and circles were put there for negative reasons, too, to disrupt the energy flows or even to concentrate the energies at certain points to allow the spacecraft to use the power for their activities. Not every stone circle is positive, but overall these ancient peoples had some idea of the Earth as a living, breathing, entity.

I feel that the land we now call the British Isles was part of Atlantis before the series of cataclysms began to disconnect this land from the island that Atlantis was to become. Britain has always been recognized as an area of enormous importance to the grid. Despite the efforts of people like Boadicea, the Britons could not hold out against the Roman invasion.

Although Julius Caesar’s attempted invasion was eventually repelled, the Roman Empire absorbed most of Britain a few years later after the year 43. They never did succeed in suppressing most of the people of Scotland and a wall would be built by the Emperor Hadrian to keep them out. Christianity would later do what the Romans could not do take control of all Scotland. The rule of the Romans had many benefits.

The inter-tribal wars diminished and roads were built to improve communications.

After the fall of the Roman Empire in 410 the islands of Britain were invaded by tribes from the regions we know as Germany and Denmark. The inter-breeding of the indigenous population and the invaders created the Anglo-Saxon race. It was in these Anglo-Saxon times that the process of losing the ancient knowledge really began to accelerate.

The country was broken up into the kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia, Wessex, East Anglia, Essex, Kent and Sussex. They fought over yes, you’ve got it religion. The supporters of the Nicene Creed fought with those who supported the Anus view of Jesus, while the pagans fought with both both of them.

Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, ‘did a Constantine’ in 664, when he called the two Christian factions together at Whitby; after hearing the arguments he decided that all England would follow the Pope and the Nicene Creed. The foundations were now set for the Church to rule the country. The rule of the Roman emperor had been replaced by the rule of the Roman pope, so it was throughout the former Roman Empire. Now the manipulators only had to control the papacy as they controlled most of the known world.

As the very mention of the so-called pagan knowledge became the equivalent of suicide in the Christian world, the information about energies and energy sites was passed on in legends by those who wished to preserve the basic truths. They talked in codes about giants and sacred hills and wells, and the ‘giants’ could even have some extra-terrestrial background, too.

These stories can still be found in local folklore today, and because they are taken literally the originators are looked upon as backward people. When you decode the symbolism you can see that they were far from backward. They were merely trying to pass on knowledge in ways that would not get them executed by those who were backward - the representatives of the Christian religion.

There was conflict all over Europe, with village fighting village at any excuse, and the culture brought by the Romans was largely destroyed. The chaos throughout the former Roman Empire developed into a form of control called feudalism, which was to create the social structure on which Europe developed for centuries to come.

Groups of weaker people would gathered behind a strong personality (not necessarily an enlightened one by any means), and all who followed him and did whatever he asked were given his protection. The division had arrived between the freeman and the bondsman, those who were no more than slaves. The leaders would become known as the lord or the king and they were considered to be the representatives of God.

The noblemen were the upper classes. Christianity was one of the main instigators and supporters of this system which turned most people into the slaves of the few and it was the. same across Europe. The kings and noblemen took over the land, and they gave great wealth to the Church in their misguided belief, encouraged by the Church, that they were buying a place in heaven.

The feudal manor or the monastery was now the authority which the communities of serfs had to obey. In time Britain was divided into shires ruled by ealdormen (later known as earls), and under them were the thegns (later barons). These, along with the most powerful priests, became the nobility. It is from these beginnings and the creation of slaves that the class system emerged which is still with us today, with its landed gentry, nobility, Church and clergy, separated from the mass of the people by either wealth or privilege, often both.

All this was dreamland for the negative Brotherhood sects. What a perfect system to manipulate, playing one against the other to create conflict and upheaval, using this to change the world in your image. These kingdoms and communities would fight and battle with each other until one or a few would become dominant and take over large areas of land which would develop into a country.

Wessex became dominant in England when it defeated the Mercians in 825 and King Egbert of Wessex controlled all of England. He was, in effect if not name, the first English king. Ethelwulf followed, and then came Alfred the Great. He was by far the most enlightened ruler of his time encouraging, among other things, the translation of Latin literature into English.

Through it all the Church prospered. Kingdoms and nobles may come and go, but the Church was always there, adding with every dying king and noble to its now breathtaking fortune of land and riches.

Christianity was now in control of England, and so was the Brotherhood.

This control would strengthen even further after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Harold, the English King, was faced with invasions from the Danes and the Normans. He defeated the Danes at the Battle of Stamford Bridge near York and marched his troops south to tackle William, Duke of Normandy, a ruthless man who was very close to Pope Alexander II.

The Pope, William, and brotherhood societies plotted the invasion of England and the Papacy supplied the funds. William believed he was doing it for God and he carried the Pope’s banners into battle, just as the pagan armies had carried images of their gods into the fray.

Nothing had changed except the emblem.

William defeated the English army and became king. Now the Pope would have a subservient England along with France and Germany. French became the language of England and this gradually fused with the various other languages spoken on the islands, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Danish, to create the English tongue we recognize today.

William ordered the production of the Doomsday Book which recorded the ownership of every house, animal, and acre of land for taxation purposes and he gave great areas of England to the Church to pay back the Pope for his support of the invasion. Lanfranc, an Italian Prior, was brought over from his abbey in Normandy to be made Archbishop of Canterbury and administer the Church’s land and other wealth.

It was he who organized a system of tithes to be paid to the Church by every landowner in the country. Even the poorest were not exempt and they paid up in their ignorance and fear that the priests could consign them to hell forever more. To this day the landowners of England still have to pay this tithe to the Church, even if they think that Christianity is a load of baloney. Opposition in the 1930s would change the nature of the payment, but it is still paid in another way. In 1936 the tithes were replaced by a fixed annual payment to be charged until October 1996.

These fees are to pay for the three per cent of Government stock handed over to the Church authorities in exchange for them conceding their right to the tithes. This means, of course, that we are all paying for the Church in the costs added by the landowners to the price of their produce. All this because the priests frightened people through violence or hell and damnation into handing over their lands during a period of nearly a thousand years.

Through all this period of English and world history and in the following centuries, enlightened and courageous people were trying to raise the level of consciousness and knowledge. It is difficult to pick out which of them were genuinely seeking freedom for the people and which were working to a Brotherhood agenda, undermining religion in the longer term to bring about a world that accepted only the physical level of being.

I think at least the great majority had good intent, and if they were playing the Brotherhood’s game, it was probably mostly by ignorance, not malice. Roger Bacon, an English Franciscan friar of the 13th century wrote that people should cease to be ruled by dogma and authority and think for themselves.

He had an advanced understanding for his time of science and he was confined by the Church because of his views. Others followed and their numbers grew until it exploded into the period called the Renaissance or ‘new birth’. The key to what followed was the coming of the printing press to Europe. The means to make paper had been discovered by the Chinese, taken on by the Moslems and, though them, reached the Italians.

The idea of printing with movable type also goes back to China and in the 1470s William Caxton was setting up his printing press in Westminster and producing the first book by this method in England. Caxton translated books from French and Latin into English and the exchange of knowledge began to flow all over Europe, although the Church would seek to suppress this at every turn.

The Renaissance in art, literature, and knowledge began chiefly in Italy from its stronghold in Florence. Greeks were seeking refuge in Italy from the Turks and they brought with them their knowledge, language and books. The learning of the Greek language had been banned by the Roman Catholic Church to stop people reading the works of the Greek philosophers, but now the ban was being ignored by those thirsting for knowledge.

The spread of Greek literature reached England, France, and Germany. When the Turks took Constantinople there was an exodus of Greeks to Italy with yet more books, manuscripts, and knowledge. The works of the Moslem scientists and the knowledge gathered at the time of the open-minded rulers in Baghdad found its way to Italy and Europe.

The volunteer consciousness and the other levels were doing all they could to bring about the breakthrough in knowledge that would undermine the power of the Church. Vittorino da Feltre pioneered a new educational system in Italy which offered his students all the knowledge available, not only that which the Church wished to impose.

The obvious corruption, vice, and violence of the Church was reducing its authority and then came the Great Schism when there were two popes, one ruling from Rome and the other from Avignon. This came about because the Italian Church believed that only an Italian should be pope and for thirty-eight years there were two popes, each with their own army plundering and pillaging wherever they went.

The discovery of America reduced Italy’s importance as a trading centre and places like Venice and Genoa diminished in their wealth and power. The poverty this brought to Italy dimmed the fires of change and slowly the Church re-imposed its grip, especially after Christian Spain occupied Northern Italy in 1538.

The Church compiled an index on all banned literature which comprised, of course, of everything that challenged its doctrines. The Inquisition increased its work rate. But much as the Roman Church tried to close the door again on knowledge, changes were now inevitable. There had been growing discontent with the excesses of the papacy and the priests. he papacy went to the highest bidder. The post gave the occupant control of incredible wealth and real estate. Kings bowed to the power of Rome and the inquisition secured the submission of the masses. The Church also supported the feudal system of masters and serfs. The reaction against all this had been a long time coming.

The pressure for change had gathered slowly, and then more quickly through these centuries of fear and subservience. The bubonic plague called the Black Death was dramatically to reduce the population of the world, and in Europe alone about a quarter of the population died. I have seen it speculated that the Black Death and other plagues might have been created by a version of extra-terrestrial germ warfare.

Certainly it would seem that bright lights in the sky and foul smelling mists were reported quite often before the plague struck a community. Reports of ‘comets’ at that time could easily have been spacecraft, and historians have written of comets trailing behind them gases that killed trees and the lands fertility.

We now often symbolize death with a picture of a skeleton holding a scythe; this comes from the numerous reports across Europe of strange men in black holding ‘scythes’ who appeared in a town or village before people fell ill with the black death. What were these ‘scythes’? Whatever the cause of the plague, it did have a long term impact in changing the status quo.

There were now fewer people to do the work of their masters and their dependence on the serfs that were available increased. The supply and demand of labor had tilted towards the serfs and the downtrodden began to protest against their conditions. Sometimes their leaders were assassinated, but the protests continued and there were peasant revolts in many countries, which brought conflict, upheaval, pain and suffering.

The centuries of blind and mass obedience to the Church and its masters were being questioned during this period from the 14th to 17th centuries. Events and the growth of knowledge was beginning the process of liberation from Church control, a process that is only reaching fruition today in what you might call the Spiritual Renaissance or the Light Age.

The Church was an obvious target for change and courageous people stood up and challenged it. John Wycliffe condemned the behavior of the priests who were using information gathered at confessions to blackmail people; some priests were selling forgiveness of sin for money or possessions.

Wycliffe advocated that the scriptures were the only foundation of religious knowledge and that the pope was not the head of the Church. He dismissed the idea of transubstantiation - the belief that bread and wine can be converted into the body and blood of Christ during the Eucharist ceremony. He had the Bible translated into English and sent out supporters to expound his views.

The priests would later persuade Henry IV to authorize the burning of all heretics, including Wycliffe’s supporters. By then he had died, but the priests had his bones exhumed from a churchyard in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, where he had been had been parish priest. They did not want his skeleton polluting holy ground. The more Rome sought to deal violently with protesters, the more protests they had to deal with.

The coming of the printing press brought the translation and distribution of the Bible to a much wider audience. Up until then, the masses had only the word of the priests to tell them what the Bible said and meant. But as it was made more widely available people began to see the difference between the simple lives of the Bible ‘heroes’ and the opulent lifestyles of the clergy who were taking ten per cent of all the wealth the people produced.

They could begin to re-interpret the texts for themselves. The Church knew the consequences of this and among their desperate efforts to suppress knowledge of the Bible’s true content was to murder by burning at the stake, William Tyndale. His heresy had been to begin to translate the New Testament into English. When people did have the opportunity to read the Bible there was a desire for a return to the simplicity of the Scriptures and the Protestant movement began. This brought about the Reformation when the Protestants broke away from the Catholic Church.

Martin Luther was one of the early Protestant leaders. He lived in Germany, which was then composed of over three hundred states. In 1517, this professor of theology at Wittenberg University pinned up a piece of paper containing ninety-five complaints against the behavior of Rome, in its efforts to raise money to build the church of St Peter’s, on what had been the site of a pagan temple. The new church was, itself, built to make money in much the same way as the bedoums of Mecca fleeced the pilgrims. This attitude continues in the Vatican City today.

Pope Julius II and his successor Leo X sanctioned a plan to sell divine pardons for money. For each donation they promised to release from purgatory the soul of a dead relative or friend. As late as the second World War this practice survived, with the Catholic Archbishop of Winnipeg telling the wives and parents of Canadian soldiers that, if their loved ones died in action, he would ensure, for a charge of $40, that they went immediately to their maker and stayed with him for all eternity.

The revolt against Rome grew in Germany, and in 1520, Luther burned the decree excommunicating him, along with copies of the Canon Law, the name for the Theodosian Creed which updated the Nicaean Creed. The Lutheran Church was born and many of the peasants supported Luther in the hope that religious change would bring social reform. They backed the wrong man, for he was as much a tyrant as most of the popes and he would later support terrible atrocities against the peasant peoples who wanted only freedom from tyranny.

As he once wrote:

“Damned be love into the abyss of hell, if it is maintained to the damage of faith..... It is better that tyrants should sin a hundred times against the people than the people should sin once against the tyrants.... the ass wants to be thrashed, the mob to be governed by force.”

His hatred of reason and opened minded research was equally extreme. In one sermon he said that his followers should throw spit in the face of reason, because she was the Devil’s whore, rotten with the itch of leprosy, and ought to be kept in the toilet. Nice man.

He may have complained about papal and clerical indulgences, but like the other Protestants, he still believed the nonsense which Jerome and others had edited into the Bible and all the other inaccuracies that had been in the texts to start with. Other forms of Protestant interpretation of the Bible followed such as Calvinism, the product of the Frenchmen John Calvin.

He was as much a dictator as Luther and the Popes. Religion - and the Brotherhood -seem to breed such people.

Calvin’s obnoxious creed was to have severe consequences in England and America because it was a major influence on the beliefs of the Puritans, of which more later. Calvin promoted the idea, like Luther, that you could not ensure eternal salvation by the way you lived your life or by ‘good works’.

It could only come by faith in Jesus as your savior. Even the Roman Catholic Church wasn’t quite that extreme, but Calvin went even further. He said that whether we were to be ‘saved’ or not was decided by God before we were born! He called this idea predestination. The chosen few who were selected by God for eternal salvation had a duty, he said, to suppress the sin of the condemned masses. It was, in other words, a license for untold slaughter.

Protestantism broke into endless creeds, sects, and churches with different beliefs arguing on the vital issues for the future of human kind like the nature of the Trinity and whether Jesus entered the bread and wine consumed during the Eucharist.

This comes from a quote attributed to Jesus in the Bible which was, in fact, an addition by one of the many forgers and relates to a pagan belief:

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat, this is my body’. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink ye all of it. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins’.”

Over the interpretation of this forgery whole wars were fought. The Protestant Movement came to England in a rather unusual way. Henry VIII wanted a son and heir, but his first wife Catherine of Aragon could only bear him a daughter, Mary.

He decided to divorce her and asked Pope Clement VII to sanction it. He refused. Henry was a committed Catholic and had condemned the Protestants in Europe to such an extent that the Pope had awarded him the title Defender of the Faith which British monarchs still hold to this day.

This is ironic, because today they are Protestant monarchs defending that faith under a title given by a Roman Catholic pope for defending his faith! You’ve got to chuckle, really. Henry was such a defender of the Catholic faith he ordered that all who denied it were to be burned at the stake. But the opposition to his divorce changed all that.

He insisted that his parliament vote into being a Church of England independent of Rome, and he made himself the head of the English Church. When that was done the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, sanctioned his divorce from Catherine. Cranmer replaced Cardinal Wolsey as England’s most influential churchman, because Wolsey had failed to secure his divorce. He was summoned to London to be tried for treason, but died on the way at Leicester Abbey.

Wolsey had ruled the English Church like a dictator and had, to a large extent, run the country. The monasteries had enormous power and were home to the papal garrison. They also owned great areas of England. They used the tried and trusted methods like the fear of hell to persuade the wealthy to leave them their land and possessions.

When that didn’t work they found some excuse to take them. In their early days, the monasteries had made a positive contribution when compared with the murder and misery in other areas of Christendom, but now they were just as bad. Henry had long coveted their wealth and he took his opportunity to abolish them and take their possessions.

He was so short of money that he had to sell much of the land he acquired and this was the start of the period of the country squire and gentry. These were the wealthy men who bought the massive estates once owned, or rather stolen, by the Church, and they built upon them their manor houses that have become such a part of the English countryside.

Henry waged war on anyone who refused to accept him as Supreme Head of the Church, as outlined in the Act of Supremacy of 1534. His Cardinal, Sir Thomas More, was beheaded for such treason and there was a bloody purge on Roman Catholics. Henry married six women, two of which he executed.

Only Jane Seymour bore him a son, who’ became Edward VI at the age of only nine when Henry died in 1547. Edward was king in name only with the Protestant Duke of Somerset the real power behind the throne. Edward himself died at 15 and he was succeeded by Mary, Henry’s daughter by Catherine of Aragon. She was a staunch Roman Catholic and she began a bloody purge against Protestants which was so savage she was given the name ‘Bloody Mary’.

Edward had been persuaded by the Duke of Somerset to leave the throne to Henry’s great grand-daughter, Lady Jane Grey, who was a Protestant supporter, but Mary had her executed and took the throne. Mary married Philip of Spain who wished to have a peaceful relationship with England, so that his ships could pass along the English Channel without hindrance.

The Pope again became head of the Church of England. But another about-turn was imminent. With Mary’s death came Elizabeth I, the daughter of Anne Boleyn, and she became queen at the age of 25. Her mother had been a Protestant and she accepted that faith.

The Roman Catholic Church opposed her succession because, it said, she was an illegitimate child with her father’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon not recognized by the Pope. She ignored them and restored the Protestant Church of England with herself as its Supreme Head. A bloody purge was launched against Catholics. The Queen ordered the torture and death of so many Irish Catholics they gave her the title ‘Bloody Elizabeth’.

All over Europe mass slaughter was being unleashed as Catholics and Protestants fought against each other in civil and national wars. Which side was most persecuted depended on who had managed to seize the throne at the time. When you look back at the scale of death and destruction committed in the name of religion, even basically the same religion, it is stunning beyond belief.

All but a handful of wars have been caused by religion or the perceived superiority of the ancestral line of one group or nation’s physical bodies, when in truth they are just temporary vehicles for our consciousness to experience this level. But let us take another angle on the events that followed the Reformation.

I mentioned earlier that the Brotherhood had a long term aim of using religion for its own ends and then moving on to the next stage, to replace religion, which largely abused the knowledge of the spirit, with a godless science which convinced the mass of the people that the spirit did not even exist. Part of this plan was to dismantle the power of the Roman Catholic Church and create more factions within the Christian religion. Even if they did not actually start the Reformation - and I believe they did - they certainly took advantage of it.

The real roots of the Reformation were in Germany in the 14th century when an arm of the Brotherhood emerged called the Illuminati, Latin for the Illuminated or Enlightened Ones. They were closely connected to the Rosicrucians (Latin for the rose and the cross), which began centuries earlier and was introduced to Germany by the Emperor Charlemagne in the ninth century. At one time at least you would be accepted into the Illuminati when you had reached a certain level of initiation in the Rosicrucians.

Both were classic secret societies in the manner I have outlined, and they began covertly to introduce a number of religious movements around Europe. One was called the Friends of God led by Rulman Merswin, a rich banker, who was conned by the Brotherhood into believing he had been chosen by God to preach his message because the Pope could no longer be trusted to it. What’s more God would soon punish humanity for its sin, he was told.

The End Of The World and the Day of Judgment is another Brotherhood theme. The Friends of God was a mind control cult that accepted only total obedience from its followers. It gained many supporters who were fed up with the corruption in the Roman Catholic Church, and eventually Merswin had a ‘revelation’ that he should hand over his religion lock, stock, and barrel to another branch of the Brotherhood, probably linked to freemasonry, called the Order of St John.

Martin Luther was strongly influenced by some of these German mystical societies and he was especially keen on the writings of the German mystic, Johann Tauler, a man closely connected with the Friends of God. It seems certain, also, that Luther was a Rosicrucian, given that his personal seal contains both of their symbols, the rose and the cross.

He was close to many members of the Illuminati and the Rosicrucians, and they would have been using him, with or without his knowledge, to break the overwhelming power of the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican was, itself, a Brotherhood tool, but none is allowed to get too powerful, and all are expendable when the time is right.

These two Christian creeds of Protestant and Catholic were now to be used, as we have already seen, to stimulate enormous conflict. But it is important to emphasize that the Brotherhood was not in total control of all events. I am sure they have had some monumental failures in their time, as people have not reacted in the way they expected, or some of their number did not do as they were told once they realized what the game plan was. I have no doubt that some of their wars have not had the outcome they always hoped for.

I feel, too, that there have been many periods when the volunteer consciousness has infiltrated these movements and tried to undermine and change them from within and I believe that behind the scenes this was happening during the time of Sir Francis Bacon who became the highest executive of the Rosicrucian Order in England. It was during his lifetime in the early 1 600s that the teachings of the order began to include some references to the need for personal spiritual salvation by taking control of our own thinking and actions, and some of these are still reflected in that order.

The fact that someone in history was a member of a secret society tells us nothing. It is the agenda they were working to that matters, and it wasn’t always negative; far from it. What I am sure about, however, is that from the Reformation onwards, the Brotherhood takeover by the Luciferic consciousness was virtually complete, and its power to manipulate events was seen to reach new heights.

Elizabeth I secured the long term future of the Episcopalian Church of England, better known as the Anglican Faith. Anyone who didn’t attend local Church services was fined or jailed. It was now that the so called Thirty-Nine Articles of Faith were agreed by Elizabeth and Parliament which everyone had to believe or be condemned as a heretic.

I list some of them here and it is worth reading them carefully because all would-be Anglican clergy still have to swear their agreement with every word that follows before they are accepted into the priesthood:

God consists of three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who
are all one God.

Christ was divine and he suffered as a sacrifice for the sins of
humanity.

Christ died for humanity, was buried and went down into hell.

Christ rose from the grave and took again his body, with flesh and
bones, with which he ascended to heaven where he sits till he returns
on the day of judgment.

The Holy Ghost is of the same substance, majesty and glory as the
Father and Son.

The Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation;
everything outside of the scriptures is unnecessary for salvation.

Jesus is the only mediator between God and Man. No Christian is
free from the obedience of the Commandments.

The Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and the Apostles’ Creed
ought to be thoroughly believed.

All deserve God’s wrath and damnation, but there is no
condemnation of believers who are baptized.

Man has no power to do good works without the grace of God.

Our righteousness before God comes, not by our works, but by the
merit of Christ. Therefore we are justified only by faith and not by
works.

Good works cannot put away sin, yet they are pleasing to God.

Works not springing from faith are not pleasant to God, yet rather
they have the nature of sin.

Doing more than duty requires cannot be taught without arrogancy
and impiety.

Jesus was sinless, the Lamb without spot who sacrificed himself and
took away the sins of the world.

Repentance is not denied to such as fall into sin after baptism.

Predestination to Life is the everlasting purpose of God, to deliver
from curse and damnation those whom he has chosen in Christ, to
bring them everlasting salvation.

They are accursed who believe that every man shall be saved by the
Law or who frame their lives according to the light of nature.

The effect of Christ’s ordinance is not withdrawn because of the
officiating priest’s wickedness.

 

All non-believers ought to be considered

by the faithful as heathen and publican.

This is the faith that to this day is taught by law in the schools of Britain and other countries and is given guaranteed, no questions-asked, air-time by the BBC which claims to be an independent organization. It is an outrage. If it wasn’t so tragic it would make a comedy series.

Elizabeth ensured that the Protestant Faith would survive when her navy defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588. One of the commanders of the English Navy was Francis Drake, a former pirate turned admiral, who was the second man to circumnavigate the world. Philip II of Spain had been urged by Pope Pius V to invade England, kill the ‘bastard’ Queen, and restore the rule of Catholicism.

Pius V was the man who was burning, hanging and beheading the religious reformers in Italy. Philip was further motivated in his duty by the terrible atrocities committed against the Catholics of England and Ireland. He believed that such atrocities should only be committed against Protestants. But his Armada was defeated in the English Channel and the power of Rome and Spain was dimmed. The foothold the Protestant Faith had won in Europe was secured.

If the Spanish had conquered England the whole Protestant movement might have collapsed. When Elizabeth died in 1603, England and Scotland united under one monarch. They had been in conflict over thousands of years, but now James Vi of Scotland became James I of England, too. The Kingdom was united - on paper at least.

The 16th and 17th centuries in England during the reign of Elizabeth and later was a time of great ‘volunteer’ activity as they sought to raise human understanding through art and scientific research. Sir Francis Bacon worked within the secret societies and I have no doubt he wrote the ‘Shakespeare’ plays and included in them esoteric codes. Anthony, the brother of Francis, ran a ‘spy network’ which was a front for passing on esoteric knowledge.

I feel that at this time there was a secret society operating within a secret society and that when in the end the Brotherhood realized what was going on the Bacons and others were stopped by a campaign of covert killings and trumped up charges that saw Francis sent to jail. When you look at the life of Sir Francis Bacon nothing is quite what it seems to be on the surface. Every effort to raise the human condition and its understanding of life was viciously opposed by the Church, Protestant and Catholic, and so many suffered all over the world for seeking and exchanging knowledge.

In 1564, Galileo Galilei was born at Pisa in Italy. He was to develop the use of the telescope to study the skies and his research led him to the conclusion that, contrary to what the Church said, the Sun did not circle the Earth - it was the other way round. Nor did he believe the Earth was the centre of the Universe.

This confirmed the findings of Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish scientist who had died in 1543. Copernicus had continued the work begun nearly 2,000 years earlier by Pythagoras and others. Copernicus had been pilloried by the Church for his ‘heresy’ and his work suppressed. Almost a century later the same was to happen to Galileo. It could well be that he was a reincarnation of Copernicus.

Galileo was tried for heresy in 1632 by the Inquisition for writing a book supporting the Copernicus theory. A document was falsified by the Church to back up the case against him. He was found guilty of ‘holding and teaching the Copernicus doctrine’ (i.e. saying the Earth goes around the Sun and is not the centre of the Universe). Galileo escaped the most extreme methods of the Inquisition, but he was placed under house arrest for the last eight years of his life.

You can see how dogmatic religion has held back human evolution and understanding. It was only in this decade that the Roman Catholic Church officially admitted that Galileo was right!! It is interesting to note that some of his fiercest critics were other academics and scientists who realized the consequences of his findings for their power and influence. The same attitude is still prevalent today.

During this period there were many seers and prophets who predicted the future in terms very similar in themes to those being presented today.

Nostradamus, who lived in Southern France, is the most famous of them. I feel he was predicting what would happen if humanity continued on the path it had embarked upon. By tuning your consciousness to those vibrations of thought energy that retain Creation’s eternal memory, you can ‘see’ the past with your psychic vision or channel information about it. You can experience something of a past life or see a past event. In the same way you can ‘see’ the future. I believe that consciousness is constantly projecting forward how things will be on the basis of what has happened (the past) and what is happening (the present).

From these sources, the collective consciousness projects forward what will happen if those same trends continue. So the future exists as the past exists in thought energy that is outside of our version and understanding of space and time. When people tune to that vibration, they are accessing information about the projected future, not necessarily the future as it will be.

I believe this was the information that Nostradamus was tuning to for his famous predictions and he was also accessing knowledge of the plan for the transformation of human consciousness in the time we are living in now as we progress into the Photon Beam.

Obviously, the closer the event is to the present the more likely it is to happen as projected. But the further into the future you go, the more time there is for humans to change and therefore to change the future. It is a commentary on the scale of humanity’s imprisonment of thought that the outcome is unfolding very much along the lines that Nostradamus predicted, but it doesn’t have to. We can change it.

Before we move on from this period of the 1600s, we need to record the beginnings of the most important vehicle of Brotherhood control and manipulation. It was to give this amalgamation of secret, covert, groupings the power to advance its desire for global domination like never before. We call it the world money system.

Throughout human history, the purchase of goods and services had been through barter, one thing exchanged directly for another, or by coins which were made from metals which reflected the value of the coin. This made metals like gold and silver more valuable than others, because they could be used to make coins and thereby could be exchanged for whatever you liked. But then a series of events began to happen.

People didn’t want to have all that gold and silver lying around waiting to be stolen, so it became the custom to deposit these metals with those who had strong rooms where it would be safe. Many of these strong rooms were owned by goldsmiths. The goldsmith would give receipts to the customer for the value of the deposit and when these were returned they would hand back that amount of precious metals.

The customers began to use these receipts as forms of exchange because they were more convenient than moving the metals around and the goldsmiths, and other strong room owners realized that only a small number of these receipts were returned to them at any one time by people coming to collect their metals deposits. So why could they not issue receipts to people who didn’t actually own any of the metals and then charge them interest for the privilege? What a great idea.

You could lend money on metal owned by someone else and charge a fee for doing it! The receipt (money) was worthless if all the owners of your metal deposits wanted them returned at the same time, but as this never happened you were laughing, unless you issued far too many notes.

From this has come today’s banking system which is controlled by the Brotherhood to further its ends. Banks are allowed literally to invent money well in excess of their actual assets and charge interest on that money. The governments and people of the world are now submerged under debt to the banks of staggering proportions, and that debt is money conjured out of nothing by the banking system.

Type in a few figures on a computer screen, move that number to a person’s account on another part of the computer programme, and from that moment you can start charging that person interest on money that isn’t yours, and doesn’t physically exist. More than that, if a person falls behind in the interest payments on money you don’t own and doesn’t exist, you can take their home and possessions that do exist, and even have them sent to prison.

By this simple means you can put governments and people into so much manufactured debt that they become pawns which you can move around the board at will. You can force people to do what they have no wish to do because they have to earn the money to pay you back the money you did not own in the first place, and it is the same with governments.

It is utterly insane for banks under no government control to be given this power to create money out of nothing, but the Brotherhood societies, at the highest level in this case, brought this into being and manipulate entire nations and continents with it day after day. It has also allowed more wars to be fought and prolonged, because instead of being limited to the assets a country owned, the bankers could now issue pieces of paper to keep the conflict going.

Then, after the war, the governments were even further in debt and their people would have to suffer more hardships if their country was going to pay back the banks for the money that did not exist. Now wars not only became wonderful tools of control for the Brotherhood, they were fantastic ways to increase their wealth.

They couldn’t lose. They would lend invented money to both sides, charge them interest on it, and then lend them more invented money to rebuild the countries that had been devastated by those wars. And we, men and women of the world, continue to put up with it!

The first major bank of this kind was the Bank of Amsterdam set up in the early 1600s and it immediately began to lend to the Dutch government to finance more wars. The Bank of England followed in 1694 and became the model for all the others.

These centuries we have discussed were of enormous significance, with the Renaissance opening the minds of Europeans to the knowledge of Greece, the Reformation breaking the power of the Pope, and the introduction of the banking system. Within the mass of the people, dissatisfaction was stirring at the way they were treated and the foundations for rebellion and eventually parliamentary democracy were in place.

It would still take many centuries to arrive and the Church would battle to prevent it, but the cracks had appeared in their wall of suppression and the flood was sure to follow.

8 - Eagle Tails

An area of substantial volunteer activity over the thousands of years after the demise of Atlantis have been the lands we call the Americas.

North, South, and Central America were populated by groups of nomadic and agricultural peoples long before the Sumerians were settling in Mesopotamia. You would think, if you didn’t know, that American history began with the coming of the European invaders, but that happened only a few hundred years ago.

The Americas evolved with the thousands of tribes which developed with their diverse cultures and beliefs. As in the rest of world, some would grow and conquer others to create empires. One of these was the Aztecs in what we call Mexico. They were advanced in that they built fantastic pyramids and cities, as did many peoples of the Americas, but at the same time they slaughtered untold thousands in sacrifices to their gods at the whim of the priests.

You can see how civilizations across the world were being affected by some global consciousness or the same extra-terrestrial races that encouraged them to believe the same myths.

There are many similarities between the Sumerian and Egyptian cultures and what has been found of ancient American history. The all-seeing eye is there; so are the pyramids, some with great similarities to those in Egypt. Stories can be found of the gods who created human beings and tried to make them their slaves.

The themes of Atlantis, Sumer, Babylon and Egypt apply equally to the Americas.

One of the intriguing and interesting peoples of the Americas were the Maya. It is believed that they evolved from another people called the Olmecs, and both built amazing pyramids. The connections between the beliefs of the Maya and the Egyptians are obvious.

The Maya pyramids were faced with limestone as was the Great Pyramid at Giza, and the beliefs in mummifying bodies and the nature of life after death were similar. I think there is an excellent chance that the same ET races were responsible for developing both civilizations in their early days.

But the Mayan civilization lasted for thousands of years and we should not fall into the trap of thinking it was always the same. Some Mayans apparently practiced human sacrifice, but this was not general. These things change. What is termed the Classic Mayan period is reckoned to have been from about 435 to 830AD, when their culture seems to have stopped quite abruptly.

The Maya settled on the land now known as Guatemala and north to Yucatan and in that classic period they devised a measurement of time very different to our own today. It related to natural energy cycles and they devised a mathematical system of numbers and symbols to work out the cycles and translate them into a form of language. The Maya, some of whom were from highly evolved Volunteer consciousness, left records of their calendar and mathematical system.

They believed that the Earth began a new cycle of evolution in 3113Bc and that this would be completed in 2012. This would link in very well with what I am saying about the Photon Beam and the many prophecies through the ages of great change at this time. Numbers and symbols can be found on the ruins and artifacts of many ancient civilizations.

As we are now beginning to understand again, everything is an energy, numbers and symbols included. Numbers and symbols represent certain energy vibrations and the Mayan system was a mathematical code for energies and their cycles.

It’s funny how we have this idea that evolution and understanding can only progress and cannot go backwards. This belief insists that peoples a decade ago let alone 1,500 years ago could not possibly know more about Creation than we do. This is a fallacy. The knowledge exists outside of this dense physical planet and always has. It has been a case of getting that knowledge through the imbalances and the dense vibration of the Earth to our conscious levels. This could have happened in Central America in 435 far easier than in the years of religious imposition in Europe and the Middle East when minds were slamming shut in their hundreds of thousands through fear and the thought-police.

One other point to remember is that while the ancient Maya may be gone, their energy has not. When we think we create energy fields and so in that former land of the Maya, as with Egypt and elsewhere, the knowledge they worked with is still there waiting to be accessed.

Going to these places and quietly tuning into the energy fields can open up your understanding quicker than reading a thousand history books. If you tap into this ancient knowledge held in thought energy fields you can learn so much about them. It doesn’t come on sheets of paper, it is a knowing-ness, an inspired understanding that you cannot always describe.

In South America, volunteers incarnated to work in the area around Lake Titicaca which spans today’s Peru - Bolivia border. These groups would later move north and evolve into the Inca civilization centered around Cusco in the Andes. The Incas worshipped the Sun god, and again this could have been based on an understanding of the consciousness of the Sun as a purveyor of universal knowledge and wisdom.

At their peak the Incas controlled an area of 2,000 miles by 200, and they became motivated by power, wealth, and expansion as the original understanding was lost. The choice of location for these volunteer incarnations was linked to the points on the energy grid which needed to be worked on. The region that includes Lake Titicaca, Sun Island, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley of the Incas, is one of the most powerful on the planet.

I am not suggesting for a second that the incarnations of the volunteer consciousness were always shining reflections of virtue. They were men and women of their time and they were affected by the culture they were born into. They still are. What they had was a more powerful link with their higher consciousness and this had two positive effects.

Firstly information and inspiration could be brought down to this level. This showed itself in those who challenged the bigotry of religion and authority and advanced human understanding through philosophy and scientific discovery. Secondly, they were open channels to ground powerful energies and pass them into the grid.

Some significant volunteer incarnations were in North America among the tribes of what have become known as ‘Red Indians’. The ‘Indians’ (Native Americans) understood the basics of the energy system and their medicine wheels were circles of stones where ceremonies took place at points on the energy grid.

Obviously, they would not have understood exactly what they were doing within the confines of the physical form, but the connection with the higher self was strong enough for them to do what was necessary on the physical level. They passed on their understanding in legends and stories which contained many truths portrayed symbolically and many myths, too, I’m sure.

More than anything they had a respect for the Earth and the rest of Creation, which led them to take from nature only what they believed they needed. Every civilization has its ‘classic’ periods as with the Maya when the volunteer consciousness was there in numbers for a specific time and task, and so it was with the Native American tribes through the centuries.

The culture was not all-peaceful and all-knowing, nor should we have expected it to be. There is, I feel, a naive belief that those who come from higher levels to help the Earth cannot be genuine unless they behave ‘perfectly’. The myths of Jesus have sprung from this idea. It doesn’t matter how evolved your higher self, the incarnating lower self is still subject to the imbalances, the dense vibration, and the culture it is incarnating into.

The Indian tribes fought each other as inherited distrust and hatred spanned the generations and being a brave warrior was the way male status was often measured. It was usually the elders who had seen the consequences of this through their lives who argued against such conflict.

Part of a famous speech by Chief Seattle of the Dwamish Indians highlighted this. As a young man he was renowned as a courageous warrior and leader. But in his late fifties or early sixties when the white settlers had taken over the United States he is reported to have said:

“When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong and disfigure their faces with black paint, their hearts, also, are disfigured and turn black. Then their cruelty is relentless and knows no bounds. Our old men are not able to restrain them... True it is, that revenge is considered gain, even at the cost of their own lives, but old men who stay at home in times of war, and old women who have sons to lose, know better.”

This is an important point. We should not feel guilty about what we have done or believed in the past. When we are born into a culture of whatever kind it may be, we become subject to its conditioning. When our consciousness looks out through the eyes of the physical form as a child it is bound to be affected fundamentally by what it sees and is told.

If the young braves were judged by their courage as warriors and their fighting abilities, most children would take on those same values. A child does not come out of the womb and say I want to be a vegetarian. He or she will eat meat if that is what the family puts on the plate. No matter how evolved the consciousness, it takes time to break through the illusions, indoctrinations, and inherited ‘values’ of this physical world.

But there comes a point when you have seen enough for the excuse of indoctrination to be no longer valid. That is when we face the choice of following our instincts or taking the apparently easy route of least resistance and continue to follow the indoctrination.

Age and experience can, as with Chief Seattle, bring wisdom and understanding. But as we also see in millions of others the years can increase the power of that indoctrination. Witness the attitudes of many older people today for evidence of that.

I would not wish to give the impression that these incarnations of the volunteers all produced people with piercing blue eyes who blessed their enemies, healed the sick and disappeared on a cloud into heaven at the end of it. They have had to live with the pressures of this world and some have gone through an entire physical life without their higher knowledge manifesting. There are many like that today, unfortunately. All I am saying is that, overall, these volunteers have done a tremendous amount to keep the Earth and the spiritual understandings alive until this time of transformation.

So we are looking at the Americas before the European invasion peopled by tribes and empires of great diversity of culture and outlook. Some were highly evolved in their understanding, some still primitive, some a bit of both. Some were at war with each other, some at peace. None would have known of a savior God called Jesus Christ or even that Christianity and the people of the Middle East and Europe even existed, but they were now to find out in an orgy of genocide as the will of the representatives of the Christian God arrived on their shores.

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa in 1436. The Christian doctrine believed that the Earth was flat, but Columbus studied the writings of Ptolemy of Alexandria who made astronomical studies in the second century, and this made him doubt the Christian belief. Columbus came to the conclusion that the Earth was a sphere.

The travels of Marco Polo and others had revealed the existence of the East and Columbus believed that if he sailed West he would sail around the world to reach India and Asia. He planned his epic journey, but could find no enthusiasm or financial support from his own people. The Kings of Portugal and Spain also turned him down, and in Spain the Church told him his ideas were impossible because they were contrary to Scripture. Henry VII of England also said no.

In the end a group of Spanish merchants supported him and he set out in the Santa Maria, flanked by two other ships, in 1492. For months they sailed until they struck land in what is now the Bahamas. He discovered other islands, including Cuba, but to the end of his life Columbus believed he had landed in India. Hence we have the name ‘West Indies’ and ‘Indians’ to this day.

He returned to Spain with gold, cotton, and other ‘finds’ including two natives who were to be baptized into the Christian faith. This changed the attitude of the King of Spain and when Columbus sailed again for ‘India’ the following year he took with him 1,500 men in seventeen ships. The Pope had given him permission to take possession of all the lands he found in the name of the King of Spain who had already agreed to share the booty with his Holiness.

Columbus became governor of the lands he found. Not only did he take them from the native population, he introduced slavery and treated the people with the sort of Christian goodwill that is so widely documented in this book. Columbus was a devout Christian, always saying prayers, and his brutality against the natives had the full support of the priests who had travelled with him. Christianity which had spread its darkness across the ‘old’ world had now reached the Americas.

Western Europe was desperate for a share of the spoils which Columbus had identified and others were soon to follow his path across the Atlantic. Vasco Da Gama, a Portuguese, sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and on to the real India. A Spaniard, Vicente Pinzon, who sailed on that first journey with Columbus, led his own expedition and found Brazil closely followed by the Portuguese.

In 1519, Magellan, another native of Portugal, led an attempt to sail around the World. He died on the journey, but others completed the circumnavigation, so proving that the planet was indeed a sphere. These journeys and others increased the knowledge of geography and horizons were widened in all directions. Over the next four centuries the powerful countries of Europe would battle for the ownership of distant lands throughout Africa, Asia and the Americas.

It was the greatest act of piracy and robbery the world has ever seen. The British, Dutch, French, Belgians, Spanish, Portuguese, and others plundered the planet imposing their culture and religion on the native peoples, mostly killing or banishing into slavery all who resisted. Australia and New Zealand were found and ‘Christianized’.

The name Cortez will always be remembered by the peoples of Central America. He was a Christian zealot who landed there in 1519 at the time of the local king called Montezuma. Cortez was treated well by the native peoples who thought he was the long awaited return of their god, Quetzalcohatl which translates as ‘Our beloved son’.

The beliefs surrounding him are yet more compelling evidence of a common source connecting the Middle East and the Americas. He was said to have been born to a virgin, Chimalman, who was told by a heavenly messenger that she would conceive a son without sexual intercourse. Quetzalcohatl was also said to have been tempted by the devil, to have fasted for forty days and to have been crucified.

But Montezuma’s people were soon to realize that Cortez was no second coming of this god. Once he saw the wealth and magnificence of the culture, he set about killing thousands to force upon them Spanish rule and Christianity. Among their conquests were the lands of the Maya which had continued to be populated by those who came after the Classic Mayan period.

Accept gentle Jesus as your savior or we slaughter you, was the basic message of the invading Europeans. One Spanish historian of the time estimated that twelve million natives of South America alone were killed after the Europeans landed and an even greater number became slaves. It was claimed with pride that Great Britain owned so many countries that the Sun never set on the British Empire.

This glorious empire was, like all of its kind, a means to exploit and dominate for reasons of riches, resources, and trade. I would not suggest that everything the Europeans did in these countries was negative and without merit, but the motivation and imposition behind these conquests was appalling. The consequences of this occupation are still being unraveled.

There was no need for all this murder and suffering for these different cultures to interact. It could have been done for mutual benefit. But the Luciferic Consciousness had implanted the belief in enough people that whatever you wanted you took by force and you imposed your will and religion.

Your God was always on your side and whatever you did you did for him.

As long as you had been baptized and believed in St Paul’s saviour-god called Jesus Christ you were guaranteed a place in heaven no matter what you did.

Indeed it is even in the Articles of Faith of the Church of England to this day that good deeds are not the way to salvation.

Add to that the condemnation of heathens in the Bible and the belief that all non-Christians, even non-believers in your faction of Christianity, were heathens and you can see how these native peoples had no chance of humane treatment from the great majority of invaders.

As one of the Psalms says:

“I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

We are highlighting in this chapter the development of the Americas and particularly North America which was to become in the form of the United States the most powerful nation on the planet. The Spanish and Portuguese plundered most of South America, where they destroyed the native culture and beliefs and introduced Christianity in the form of Roman Catholicism, that dark creed which still enslaves the minds of millions on that continent through fear and guilt.

North America became largely the property of the English and French although Pope Alexander VI had ‘given’ the whole of the Americas to Spain and Portugal, especially Spain (He was a Spaniard). Four years after Columbus discovered the West Indies, two Venetians based in Bristol, England, sailed with the backing of Henry VII for North America. They were John and Sebastian Cabot, father and son, and they followed the route taken by earlier explorers like the Vikings who had landed in the New York area five hundred years before.

They called it Vinland.

The Cabots discovered the North American coast, but little was done about their find for many years and by then the Frenchman, Jacques Cartier, had laid claim for his country to the region of what is now Eastern Canada. He was followed by another Frenchmen, Samuel de Champlain, who founded Canada and built a fort which he called Quebec.

His ambition was to convert the native tribes to Roman Catholicism and expand the fur trade, which involved the native peoples giving him furs in exchange for guns and booze.

His intervention started wars between the tribes and caused great disruption. But he did not convert them to Christianity, not least because the Catholics and Protestants in his midst spend most of their time fighting each other. Other Christian missionaries who tried to force their religion upon the Indians were killed by the very guns that had been traded for the furs.

The religious persecution in Britain and Europe now involved not only the persecution of Catholics by Protestants and vice versa, but also the persecution of factions within the Protestant creed who differed, often on the most irrelevant details from the Anglican or orthodox Protestant faiths. This drove many Puritans and Nonconformists to risk the dangerous and treacherous journey to North America.

Under James I, who followed Elizabeth, Puritans and Presbyterians were persecuted because James was a staunch Anglican. He also ordered a gruesome purge against ‘witches’ (mediums) and his treatment of Roman Catholics was so terrible, two of their number, Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby, organized the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to assassinate him.

It was James I who took part of Northern Ireland from the Catholics and encouraged it to be settled by England and Scottish Protestants. This set in motion the centuries of hatred and conflict between the two Christian fractions that created a sort of religious apartheid that still continues.

Britain under James I was not a good place to be unless you were an Anglican, and the exodus to America grew. Many Puritans settled in a place they called New England where they matched the violence and intolerance shown to them in Europe with their own treatment of the Indians and others who did not share their misguided Faith. In Virginia, tobacco was the currency and people were fined 50lbs of tobacco for not attending church, 2000lbs for not having their child baptized, and 5,000lbs for entertaining a Quaker.

Death is no cure for ignorance and neither is a journey across the Atlantic. This led William Penn, a compassionate Quaker, to found Pennsylvania in 1682, on land given to him by Charles II in exchange for the money lent to him by Penn’s father. He opened his lands to Quakers and all persecuted Nonconformists, and he made friends with the Indians.

He showed how they could live together to their mutual benefit. The Indians also gave a piece of land to Roger Williams who founded the State of Rhode Island as a haven of peace and religious tolerance. Mostly, however, the North American settlers treated the Indians and people of differing beliefs as heathen with no dignity or rights under God.

By the 18th century the French had been driven out of North America by the British who treated these lands as an extension of the British Isles. But the settlers were beginning to resent this. They still paid allegiance to the British King, but they rebelled when they were told to pay taxes to the British Government without their consent. Troops were dispatched to force the settlers into submission and the American War of Independence began.

Brotherhood-style secret societies with the familiar initiations and methods were already at work in the Americas before the European invasion, but after that their numbers simply exploded and they were extremely involved in the events before the American War of Independence. Freemasonry abounded and George Washington was a freemason, initiated into the Craft at the age of twenty in 1752.

As an officer in the colonial army, he is believed by some historians to have ordered the killing of French troops in the Ohio Valley when there was no military justification, let alone a moral one. This created more conflict between the British and French which flared in Europe as the bitter and bloody Seven Years War. This claimed around a million military and civilian casualties and left both countries with enormous debts to the money inventors, the banking elite controlled by the Brotherhood.

There was also the cost of keeping an army in America. All this led the British to levy higher taxation on her people, and duties on goods in the American colonies, to service the debt, and hence you had the disputes that fuelled the War of Independence. The resistance in the colonies was so fierce that the British withdrew the new duties, except for those on tea. The colonists were by now whipped up by the Freemason lodges masquerading as revolutionary groups.

Members of the St Andrews Lodge in Boston dressed up as Indians and threw tea into the harbor in protest at the duty and no matter what the British had done, it was too late. The Brotherhood wanted independence for America for longer term motives and that was the way it was going to be. It is pretty clear that the Freemasons had been working to stir up revolution against the British for at least ten years before the war began.

It was fought over six years until the Americans won and the British were sent packing. George Washington was Commander in Chief of the American troops and he was to become the first President of the newly formed United States of America. He was a freemason as I have pointed out and so were most, perhaps all, of the key revolutionaries, many of them were Grand Masters.

Masons like Washington and Franklin had the symbol of the All Seeing Eye sewn onto their sheepskin Masonic aprons. This was without question a Brotherhood revolution. Independence was declared in 1776, although the war went on for some years after that, until the decisive Battle of Yorktown in 1781 settled the issue of who would rule the country. The Americans were supported with arms and resources by the French after one of the revolutionaries, the freemason, Benjamin Franklin, persuaded them to help.

The French were looking for some revenge for their defeats by the British and even if they were not the Brotherhood network in France would have made sure help was forthcoming. Franklin secured the services in France of the German freemason Baron von Steuben who had served in the army of Frederick the Great of Prussia and he was to play a major part in turning the American army into a fighting force. With victory secured the Declaration of Independence severed ties with Britain.

The symbols of the new nation reflected those of the Brotherhood and its branches which had brought it into being. In 1782 a man called William Barton produced a design for the Seal of the new United States and it included the classic symbols from the Brotherhood in ancient Egypt - the pyramid topped by an all-seeing eye. Below that were the words Novus Ordo Seclorum which mean ‘The beginning of a new order of the ages’.

This refers to the Brotherhood’s ‘Great work of ages’ and it is expressed today as The New World Order. This part of Barton’s design is included in the United States Great Seal today, and on the dollar bill. The phoenix, another Egyptian Brotherhood symbol was also on the original seal before it was later replaced by the Eagle.

American Freemasonry broke away from its ‘Mother Lodge’ in England after independence and it adopted the English York Rite of Freemasonry with its ten degrees of initiation and most significantly, the Scottish Rite, with its thirty-three degrees. The Scottish rite in particular has had a fundamental influence on American politics, economics, and foreign policy from that time on.

The Brotherhood controls the American banks and the Federal Reserve, their version of the bank of England, which creates money out of nothing and plays the tune to which the elected politicians have to dance. That is not to say that all the revolutionaries were involved in skullduggery and wished to bring about this abuse of freedom or that the desire for revolution was wrong. Why should one country own another in that way?

Most if not all the revolutionaries would have believed they were doing the right thing for the right reasons, but who was controlling their thinking from the perspective of another agenda? It is not always the event itself that is wrong, but the hidden agenda behind it.

One man who played an important part in the fight for American independence could rightly be included among the great men of human history. If ever there was an example of the volunteer consciousness incarnate, it is he.

Thomas Paine was born the son of a Norfolk Quaker in 1736. His outspoken support of the oppressed in England and his opposition to religion made him highly unpopular with the authorities and he went to America to support the people in their dispute with the British Parliament and King George III. He fought on the American side and published a pamphlet called ‘Common Sense’ which called for complete independence for the colonies and not some diluted compromise that would still leave them under British rule. Another pamphlet, ‘The Crisis’, motivated the people to go on when the situation looked bleak. His words were widely read and they are credited with having a significant impact on the course of the War.

He was a renowned figure when independence was won, but instead of enjoying the glory he returned home to England hoping to do the same there.

He wrote The Rights of Man in 1791 which exposed the corruption and nonsense of Church, monarch, and state, while setting out an alternative society based on democracy, educ4ion and equal rights for all. This was the time after the French Revolution when the British gentry were terrified of a people’s rebellion. A writ was issued for his arrest, but his work circulated rapidly among the poor who at last had someone speaking for them.

Anyone found publishing or possessing The Rights of Man was jailed or banished and effigies of Paine with a rope around his neck were carried through the streets by those whose power he threatened. He was a man ahead of his time, but such men are vital to light the fuse which later explodes into fundamental change. Paine escaped to France where he was elected to the new French Assembly. He was appointed to the committee putting together a new French Constitution and he argued that there should be no bloodshed or reprisals against the monarchy and aristocracy. He wanted to destroy the institutions of repression, not kill the people in them.

When he voted against the killing of King Louis XVI he was arrested and sentenced to death.

Here we are again with one tyranny and rule by fear replacing another. George Washington was asked for help, but refused and it took the efforts of others to win his release a year later. During his captivity he wrote his book, The Age of Reason, which dismantled the preposterous claims of Christianity which he said were not the work of God, but of stupid men.

His book said of the Bible:

“Whenever I read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the relentless vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent if we call it the word of demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize Mankind. And for my part, I detest it as I detest everything that is cruel.”

Thomas Paine was a great, great, man. ‘The world is my country and to do good is my religion’, he once said, and the only trinity he had any time for was Truth, Liberty, and Justice.

There have been few more decent, loving, brave, and wise people on this planet. Yet history has largely forgotten him because no juvenile religion was set up in his name. In Christendom you could call for political liberty if it suited the people, but not for religious liberty.

When Paine returned to America after the publication of the book he was shunned by those he had helped to free. In some areas it was even dangerous for him to walk down the street. But then he was used to religious opposition in America, because in earlier times they had opposed his opposition to slavery.

The United States was built on the backs of black slaves from Africa. Slavery had been part of human life through most of history and some of the Popes were the biggest slave owners of their day. The idea of the chosen ones having God’s permission to own the heathens was a constant justification.

In the Bible we read:

“Both thy bondsmen and thy bondsmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondsmen and bondsmaids. Moreover, of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy; and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land; and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondsmen forever.”

That is from Leviticus, and these are the words of St Paul:

“Slaves obey your Earthly masters with respect and fear. And with sincerity of heart as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.”

The Christian creed had no problem with slavery. It was God’s will. Hundreds of thousands of native Africans were captured by the slave ships of Britain, America, and elsewhere and taken to the New World to be sold to the highest bidder.

The hymn writer, John Newton, was the master on a slave ship and from his pen came How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear. Opponents to this stunning inhumanity called slavery were hung, shot, and burned alive by the slave owning mobs and sermons were made in support of both slavery and the violence against protesters. It was a major offence to teach a slave to read, and there were discussions on whether it was best to work a slave to death or use them more sparingly so they would last longer. (The same debate went on in relation to the Jews in Nazi Germany).

The law allowed slaves to be flogged to death and shot if they refused to accept the flogging. Their tongues and eyes were cut out on many occasions and they were branded if they tried to escape. The British were at the heart of this trade and many British companies grew wealthy on it. The British built forts off the African Coast to protect the slave traffic and they gave grants of free land in the West Indies on condition that at least four negro slaves were kept for every hundred acres.

Slavery became an issue which divided the United States very roughly between North and South. Most Freemason lodges supported it, but many did not. By far the greatest number of slaves were concentrated in the Southern States where they worked in the cotton fields. Some brave people helped a few escape to Canada at great risk to themselves and among them was John Brown, an Ohio wool dealer, who was caught and executed.

He became a martyr remembered by the famous song in which ‘his soul goes marching on’. William Lloyd Garrison published The Liberator which highlighted the treatment of the slaves and was sent to prison for his opinions, but it roused yet more to the cause. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, published in 1852, telling the stories she had heard from the slaves who had escaped. The Pope ordered the book to be banned and the clergy condemned its publication.

In the 1860 presidential election, Abraham Lincoln, an abolitionist, was elected. The South declared independence under its own president, Jefferson Davis, and they increased the powers of slave owners. The United States were now anything but united. They were two nations, one overwhelmingly for slavery and one against.

Lincoln, whose desire for the end of slavery was not as fierce as some, offered to allow it to continue if the South would return, but they didn’t trust him. The Civil War ensued, but contrary to what is widely believed it was not about the plight of slaves, but the unity of the country. It was like most conflicts, justified by a contradiction. Lincoln and his supporters went to war to preserve the union under the banner of freedom.

But while the behavior of the Southern States was appalling to the slaves, they had every right under the Constitution to withdraw from the union. Lincoln and the North fought to deny them that right. The emancipation of slaves was a by-product of the war, not the motivation behind it. Slavery continued in the North until the war was over, and legislation to free Southern slaves during the war was enacted only because it was claimed that the Southerners were no longer United States citizens, and therefore had lost their rights to own slaves as those in the North continued to do. The war was about the withdrawal from the Union by the Southern States, caused by disagreements over slavery. It was not about slavery as such.

The South, the ‘rebels’ or ‘Confederates’ held the initiative in the first phases of the war, but after losing the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 the North, the ‘Federalists’, turned the tide and went on to victory. By then half a million people had died at a cost of nearly two billion pounds to the US economy and the belief that a state could decide at will to withdraw from the Union as agreed by the Founding Fathers was crushed.

The United States was now a nation, as were Germany and Italy in the wake of their civil wars which happened in this same period. The USA would produce great inventors and many skilled in trade and business as they exploited and directed the Industrial Revolution to become the world’s most powerful country.

The tragic victims of the expansion across the North American continent in both the United States and Canada were the native tribes. They were pushed into the interior by the settlers who advanced Westwards until there was nowhere left for the Indians to go. When they lost the many battles to retain their homelands they were forced onto reservations which were, themselves, gradually reduced by the economic ‘needs’ of the government.

White men did indeed speak with forked tongue when they made their promises to the Indians which were never kept. The story of the genocide of the native Americans by the settlers from Europe is one of the most atrocious episodes in the long and sorry tale of man’s inhumanity to man. The reality of these events is only now beginning to be told in films like ‘Dances With Wolves’ and the truth is breaking through the Hollywood and government propaganda of most of this century which portrayed the Indians as savages and the God-fearing settlers as the agents of freedom and civilization.

In Australia and the other countries where the invading Christians occupied native lands by force and brutality the truth of these times is being more widely understood.

In my travels to Canada and the United States I have had the overwhelming feeling that I have had many past lives as an Indian. When I was in Calgary, Canada, I saw a picture of a chief and I felt a strong and instinctive bond with him. His name was ‘Sitting on an Eagle Tail’, chief of the North Peigans, one of a group of tribes that went under the overall name of Blackfoot.

Just to complicate matters there was also an individual tribe in the group also called the Blackfoot. I travelled through an area known as the Porcupine Hills, south of Calgary near the Old Man River and I have rarely been moved by a place anywhere in the world. My spirit just sang with joy.

I would later discover that Eagle Tail was one of those who signed the land treaty with the white settlers which put the Indian tribes onto reservations and he had chosen an area around the Porcupine Hills and the Old Man River. He loved the area and felt it was the best place for his people to settle. I talk more of these experiences in Truth Vibrations and In The Light Of Experience.

Two years after that trip to Canada, I was walking through Oxford with Yeva looking for the Pitt Rivers Museum which has a section dedicated to Indian history. We were given the wrong directions to the Museum and we were lost. As we walked I told her about Sitting on an Eagle Tail and how I felt that was a previous incarnation. At that moment we passed a pub called ‘The Eagle and the Child’.

I looked up at the pub sign hanging from the wall. There before me was a picture of an eagle with a little child sitting on its tail! I have had scores of ‘coincidences’ happen to me since my awakening became conscious in 1990, but that was a real stunner.

I began to read widely of the Indian period in North America and, as with my visits to former Indian lands, I have felt a deep and painful sadness at the way that culture and understanding was swept away in such a short time. When I visited former Indian lands around Sedona in Arizona, Monument Valley in Utah, and a their beauty and the memories of my Indian lives. But underlying that has always been sadness at what happened.

I read a book about the life of the Blackfoot Chief, Crowfoot, which also spanned the lifetime of Eagle Tail. It was sobering to see that when they were born the Indian way of life had remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years; by the time they died in the latter part of the last century, their tribes were dependent on hand-outs from the white settlers. Their lands had been taken and their independence was gone. These proud people were lining up on their little reservations to be given their rations.

The Christian missionaries had arrived seeking to impose their creed upon the Indian people. The ‘God-fearers’ were rampant and some of the most tragic and pathetic pictures I have seen are of Indian people, Bibles in hand and assembled in their Sunday best, waiting to be indoctrinated and mind-controlled in the mission churches built on their reservations. Nearly fifteen hundred years after the nonsense of Nicaea, it was now spreading its arrogance and mind control across North America which, until then, had somehow managed to survive very nicely without it.

It was only in 1877 that Crowfoot and Eagle Tail had, with others, signed the land treaty that confined them to reservations which the settlers would go on diminishing whenever they could. By then their tribes had been ravaged by war and diseases like smallpox which the settlers had brought with them. Every picture I have seen of Eagle Tail portrays a near-broken spirit and given what happened in his lifetime that is easy to understand.

They had been the victims of the industrialization of the world that had begun in Britain and spread like a cancer across Europe. The influx of settlers from Europe who emigrated in increasing numbers to the ‘New World’ took with them that same religious intolerance and economic ethos or imported it once they were there.

The Luciferic consciousness was now unleashing everything it could muster before the time of the Great Cleansing which was fast approaching.

Much of the human race was easy prey, and it was rapidly discovering the means to destroy itself and the planet, too.
