Chapter 29: Spiritual Politics Today
Q. Let us begin this final summary of the political implications of
the War in Heaven by updating the dialog from Spiritual Revolution
concerning the resurgence of Fundamentalism in the Seventies and
early Eighties. Since SR was published, that whole movement seems to
be disintegrating into chaos. Several of the TV Evangelists whom I
considered servants of the Theocrats fell into disgrace over
personal or financial scandals in 1987 and ‘88, and it is now
becoming fashionable for average Americans to think of the more
rabid Fundamentalist sects as cults, little different from the
Moonies.
A. Well, we said a couple of years ago:
“Those movements backed by
the Invisible College are actually doing better than those
controlled by the Theocrats, but a surface analysis of public
opinion makes the opposite seem true. For example, the present
resurgence of Fundamentalist Christianity is not nearly as
successful as claimed by either its own propaganda or that of
various groups openly opposed to it.”
Q. I had felt this to be true for a long time, since several years
before I began to make the breakthrough in 1983 but many of my
friends in the occult and radical political communities disagreed
completely. They were afraid the Fundamentalists would force the
government to repeal most of the liberal legislation passed since
the Fifties, and to adopt a militant foreign policy that would cause
more wars like Vietnam and might even lead to nuclear war. I never
felt that this danger was severe or immediate, because the
Fundamentalist movement simply wasn’t big enough in either sheer
numbers or political clout.
A. That’s correct. Ironically, several of the American
politico-economic system’s worst faults are its best defense against
a take-over by the Fundamentalists or any similar group. We refer to
economic class structure and political power-brokerage. A relatively
small minority of people with a high resistance to fundamentalist
religion controls most of the real political and economic power in
this country: the owners and managers of the large corporations,
government bureaucrats, and professional people in general.
Most of them are politically conservative, but it’s the conservatism
of the Old Right, not the New Right. They range from extremely
wealthy to merely well off, and are almost all college graduates,
which means they represent the social class that produces the fewest
people with the correct personality structures to embrace
Fundamentalist religion. Their primary concern is retaining the
wealth and power they now enjoy, and they fear the New Right just as
much as the left does, though they realize it’s not in their
interest to say so publicly. The New Right has always been
essentially a working-class and rural movement; if it ever got into
power, it would eventually try to replace the existing power elites
with people who took a populist stand on political and economic
issues.
If you look closely at the history of the conservative wing of
American politics during the Seventies and Eighties, you’ll see that
the Old Right was solidly in control the whole time, even when the
New Right was getting maximum publicity. The traditional
conservative establishment got votes from the Fundamentalists at
virtually every election by using some of the rhetoric of the New
Right, but it was very slow in putting any of the New Right’s
ideological principles into action.
President Reagan’s attitude toward legalized abortion is a good
example: he repeatedly said he opposed it, but he never used the
full power-brokerage potential of his office to try to manipulate
other politicians into repealing abortion laws. On the other hand,
he was quite willing to resort to extreme measures – such as those
that caused the Irangate scandal – to support policies he believed
were really important, such as supplying arms to right-wing
terrorists in Central America. This proves that his support for New
Right policies was just campaign rhetoric.
We’d rather that the wealth and power were more evenly distributed
within the total population, but in this case power elites and
power-brokerage are working to our advantage. The political
manipulations of the Invisible College are often extremely subtle,
as we’re about to describe.
First, we’ve already said that members of the present power elites
are less likely to become Fundamentalists than most people within
the whole population. However, they are more receptive than the
average to New Age spiritual teachings, which is another reason for
not wanting radical changes in the class system right now.
Remember, we are not doctrinaire leftists. In general, we work for
“the greatest good for the greatest number,” but we don’t have to
worry about our public image the way living politicians do. If we
can get significant numbers of the present ruling class under our
influence, then we’ll work through them to benefit the rest of the
population. Of course, we’ll also use this influence over the
existing elites to work for a more equitable distribution of wealth
and power as a long-term goal.
Q. Wasn’t this exactly what you did in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries when you worked through the Masonic and Rosicrucian
Lodges: using an existing power elite to work toward political
liberalism and other reforms to benefit the whole society?
A. Yes. We try to be both
idealists and pragmatists at the same
time; the two concepts are not really in opposition.
Q. I wish that more leftists and counterculture people realized
this.
A. Another reason why we’re not concentrating on immediate,
surface-level political and economic reforms right now as much as we
were a few years ago is simply that most of our energy is going into
two different battles with the Theocrats over control of spiritual
institutions. We’re attacking them directly both inside and outside
of organized religion, and of course they have never ceased
attacking us. Every time they start using any organization on Earth
to enslave people for their own ends, we try to stop them, and they
do exactly the same to every project we undertake to liberate
people.
Q. You’ve already discussed some of this in other contexts,
especially your attempts to turn Theocratic Christian congregations
into more liberal groups. You’re not completely opposed to
Christianity and other organized religions, are you?
A. This is a subject that needs clarification for your readers. We
can ask you to say, “War in Heaven is not intended to be an
anti-religious book,” but that doesn’t mean the Invisible College
favors religion as the term is usually defined: “belief in and
worship of deities or other supernatural powers.”
It should be obvious that we have to oppose any belief system that
accepts the supernatural. Psychic and spiritual phenomena are part
of the natural world, and they have profound effects on human
civilization on this planet. They should be studied scientifically
and put to use improving the quality of human life, not relegated to
the subjective limbo of the supernatural, where one person’s opinion
is as good as another’s because there are no hard criteria for
making value judgments.
Many of us come from advanced civilizations where the study of the
soul and other spiritual phenomena are as much of a part of natural
science as physics or biology, and this is the only approach we
recommend. Any person who believes in or worships supernatural
deities is out of contact with reality. The form of deism that many
religious believers practice is literally a psychosis involving
paranoia and delusions of grandeur.
Psychologists and
psychotherapists have known this since the time of Freud, though
they’ve found this form of mental illness one of the most difficult
to treat because they didn’t know about the Theocrats or religious
mind control.
Q. Yet you still make use of
deistic religion when it serves your
political ends. Is that why you told me to say this book is not
intended as a blanket attack on all organized religion?
A. Yes. We are philosophically opposed to all religions that believe
in the existence of superhuman gods; however, at this stage in
history, the majority of people on Earth are not capable of directly
replacing their present deistic beliefs with a rational view of
spiritual phenomena. Rather than just write such people off, we feel
that the most ethical course of action is to deal with them within a
deistic frame of reference and try to keep the Theocrats from
controlling them. In other words, we’re willing to pose as gods
ourselves if that’s the only way we can keep people from being
enslaved in Theocratic Bands after death.
And while we do consider it important to save individuals from
destruction by their “gods,” we put a higher priority on the
political aspects of organized religion on Earth. The larger and
more powerful are the liberal Christian churches in the United
States right now, the less danger there is of the Fundamentalists
doing major political or social harm. We like to see liberal and
radical Christians out there proselytizing in direct competition to
the Fundamentalists: doing all sorts of charitable work, using the
mass media, and generally trying to be a visible force in the
community.
However, we don’t recommend that people who accept what we’re saying
in this book go out and join liberal or radical Christian groups.
There are better alternatives for anyone who accepts even part of
the concepts described in War in Heaven. The anti-Theocratic
Christian groups are intended strictly for people who are already
Christians. In fact, we would rather that agnostics and the
nominally religious not join them. Such individuals would be better
off in one of the New Age, Pagan, or occult groups.
There’s also a negative aspect to radical Christianity; trying to
fight Theocracy on its own home ground with its own religious
mind-control weapons is actually quite dangerous. For example, the
infamous People’s Temple of the Seventies was an early attempt to
start such a group, one that failed disastrously; and the same thing
could happen again, though it’s much less likely today because that
experience taught us a lot.
The Theocrats are angered more by our attacking them frontally on
their own ground than they are by almost anything else we do. They
often attack radical Christian churches, especially those that were
formerly Fundamentalist groups, with all the force they can muster.
If the Theocrats can’t control the group mind of the congregation
and subvert it back into Fundamentalism, they’ll settle for turning
the group into a cult that drives its members insane, as happened to
the People’s Temple.
The Theocrats also try to do the same to occult and
New Age groups,
and will turn them into new Theocratic religious sects if they can.
Theocrats don’t care what name people call the deity by, as long as
members practice religious mind control during services and believe
a doctrine that’s based on the general Theocratic philosophy. There
are Satanist groups that are controlled by exactly the same
Theocrats who control Fundamentalist churches in the same
neighborhood, for example. The same holds true for some of the Black
Lodges on the fringes of the occult community. Many of these are not
self-destructive cults that make the headlines when members die or
commit crimes, but something worse: stable organizations doing the
work of the Theocrats.
Q. How can readers of this book
recognize an occult group controlled
by the Theocrats?
A. It’s not always easy, because some Theocratic occult groups have
an outer circle that’s fairly innocuous. There are two major things
to look for:
Not all occult and New Age
groups that fail this test are under the control of the Theocrats at
the moment; but merely possessing these elements makes them
vulnerable to a Theocratic take-over. And there is no reason to join
a group if you find any of its practices or beliefs ethically wrong:
no one has a monopoly on psychic training techniques or spiritual
knowledge.
We are not going to make this book even more controversial than it
already is by giving you a list of occult groups that Spiritual
Revolutionaries should avoid. The status of groups changes
constantly, so anything you wrote down now wouldn’t remain accurate
very long. Even more important, we want the people who read this
book to learn how to use their own intellects and psychic powers to
observe groups for themselves and draw their own conclusions. If
people are going to be Spiritual Revolutionaries, they have to learn
to make this kind of value judgment for themselves rather than
relying on anyone else to make it for them.
Q. While you are discussing how the
Theocrats take over religious
and occult groups and make them into cults, we’d like you to clarify
one point. why doesn’t this lead to violence more often than it
does? A lot of readers are going to wonder why, if the Theocrats can
turn a left-wing Christian church like the People’s Temple into a
totally murderous and self-destructive cult, they don’t do this on a
large scale and physically attack the counter-culture, the occult
community, the New Age movement and similar works of the Invisible
College?
A. This is a difficult question to answer precisely, because it
involves detailed descriptions of how religious mind control works
that are hard to put into English words. Almost all the conspiracy
literature exaggerates the power that “unseen manipulators” have to
control people’s behavior on an acute, short-term basis. Religious
mind control is actually quite subtle: it gradually reprograms
people’s long-term opinions and behavior, but it cannot be used
simply to take over control of a person’s will completely and
operate him or her like a remote-controlled robot.
Q. In other words, if the
Theocrats wanted an act of violence
performed, say the assassination of a political or religious leader
who was actively working for the Invisible College, they couldn’t
just tell some average member of a Fundamentalist church to go and
commit murder.
A. Absolutely not. This is another very important point. It’s easy
for them to manipulate a Fundamentalist into saying, “So-and-so is
an enemy of God and is doing the Devil’s work. He ought to be shot!”
However, almost all Fundamentalists, despite their extreme and
irrational religious beliefs, are technically sane, in the sense
that their behavior doesn’t usually violate their society’s laws and
customs so seriously that they have to be locked up. And sane
people, by definition, don’t commit murder or other violent crimes
for political reasons. They can become violent under extreme
personal stress – remember, most murders involve family members,
lovers, or close friends – but this is not the same as committing a
similar act for political reasons.
Proof of this is the elaborate indoctrination that average people
are subjected to before they are sent off to war. The most important
purpose of military boot camps is not to teach recruits how to kill
the enemy, but rather to make them emotionally capable of doing so.
Notice, too, that significant numbers of war veterans commit violent
crimes after they return to civilian life, simply because
governments spend a lot of time and money to reprogram ordinary
citizens into soldiers capable of killing the enemy, but almost
invariably fail to reverse this process when the troops are
demobilized. Psychologists working for the military point out that
it takes as long or longer to extinguish a given behavior pattern as
it took to condition it in the first place, but generals and
politicians rarely listen.
However, military training is not nearly so destructive to people as
being trained to become violent religious fanatics. Using religious
mind control to program people for violence is essentially an
irreversible process. It’s possible to turn ordinary religious
people into killers; but once it’s done, their whole personality
structure has been changed and they can no longer live peacefully in
normal society most of the time.
The Theocrats can turn members of a Theocratic religious group into
people like the followers of Jim Jones or Charles Manson, but once
they’ve done so, they’ve changed them into criminal maniacs who
aren’t going to survive very long. Even more important: the
intensive mental reprogramming necessary to turn ordinary people
into psychopathic killers can be done only by creating a very
specialized environment. Notice that both of the groups created a
“cult environment,” a totalitarian perversion of communal living,
which subjected members to religious mind control over long periods
of time without respite.
It is also important to realize that
reprogramming people to commit
cold-blooded acts of violence within their normal social environment
is much more difficult than turning them into soldiers willing to
kill an armed and aggressive enemy on the battlefield. The element
of “kill or be killed” and the fact that wars are usually fought in
an unfamiliar social and physical environment are what make the
difference.
Q. What you’re saying, then, is that the
Theocrats don’t dare
program large numbers of their followers to become violent, because
that would probably destroy human society itself, rather than just
eliminating the human enemies of Theocracy. However, other things
you’ve said give us the impression that the Theocrats want to see
civilization destroyed.
A. Again, this is a difficult concept to explain.
Modem Western
civilization serves the interests of the Invisible College better
than it does those of the Theocrats, and is essentially our
creation, not theirs. However, the total destruction of
civilization, through nuclear war or internal collapse caused by
violent insanity on a large scale, would harm the Theocrats as much
as it would us. More, actually, since our contact with civilizations
on other worlds would allow us to rebuild society if the physical
environment were still capable of supporting human life.
Of course, the War in Heaven is now beginning to extend to the
battle between the Invisible College and the Theocrats to control
the formation of new gods out of elemental spirits. We will discuss
this further in the next chapter, starting with a message from
spirits who specialize in such work.

Chapter 30 - The End and the Beginning
I’ve decided to end this book with a message I received from the
Invisible College in February of 1988. This is from Elohim spirits,
not my regular spirit guides, and it was very important in guiding
me while I was rewriting Spiritual Revolution into War in Heaven.
The style and some of the terminology is slightly different from
those used in the spirit-dictations in Parts Two and Three, but you
should be able to follow this message if you understand the rest of
the book.
A. As you are now becoming aware,
Spiritual Revolution was intended
only for a small audience, mostly rock musicians and magic people
and other insiders. That’s why we gave you all those phrases and
sentences you didn’t understand and thought were nonsense. Each of
these verbal cues was intended to push a few buttons in certain
types of people.
Withholding the information now contained in Part Three of
War in
Heaven kept them from knowing exactly how much you knew, and what
side you were on in the conflict, despite your claims to be working
for us.
We use the electronic media and especially rock music for
reprogramming people only as a side effect. Its main use, the real
reason we pushed your planet into an industrial revolution so fast,
was to program Baby.
Baby has been close to hatching innumerable times in the last two
thousand years, but we’ve always managed to knock it down. We did
not want it to leave the planet until we were ready for it.
Now we are ready. At this point, we can destroy it before it leaves,
if we must. It knows this; this book is part of the alert we are
giving it, that it must be on its best behavior, or we will destroy
it.
The music generated by the people we stirred up with your book and
our concurrent programming has purposefully alerted Baby to the
danger it faces from us unless it drops the Theocrats and Black
Lodges that control part of it before it leaves.
There is no need to go over the nonsense paragraphs, but we will. We
pushed you to ask for financial aid from music people even though
you didn’t really need it. Many of them are rich from the fact that
they’ve learned to use the electronic media, as the TV preachers do,
to stroke the Beast and cause it to want to hear their beat. (Spell
that “here there beat” and you will be thinking as they do.) They
cause it to reach into minds in the audience and ask people to
request the music it likes best. This is a Black Lodge use of the
Beast.
This is also the sane reason we pushed you to say that we were
ignoring the left, and working in the right-wing establishment. We
pushed you to tell people there was no life on Sirius because we had
made
Sirius a rallying cry of our fight against Theocracy, and
denying this kept many people who could not read between from
knowing who you were working with.
We pushed you to deny any knowledge of
intelligent dolphins and
whales because that is the form that Baby’s parents call Baby from,
because that is what the Builders look like; and as they built the
machinery that activated Baby, that’s what Baby is preprogrammed to
respond to. They project this image to Baby, and to all those who
would be part of Baby. Denying knowledge of intelligent Cetaceans
also denied your knowledge of all those extraterrestrial
intelligences that aren’t “space people.”
We pushed you to deny the possibility of people’s becoming more than
people and the existence of higher planes of reality for the same
reason.
We pushed you to involve a certain songwriter in the book because he
was one of our operatives, and has become a focal point of the
music. Many of the rest of the music people see him as a sort of
superman. Your involving him again, after he has pleaded illness and
pulled out of the movement, galvanized many more into action than
would have happened otherwise. We know where his loyalties lie, and
it is no one else’s business.
It is true that several other songwriters were involved because it
was necessary for you to have a list of people to show that you know
some of what you were talking about. We know that you have told us
some of them have written that you’ve practically ruined their
lives, but all we can say is that this is a war, and if you don’t
want to be taken for a soldier, don’t wear a uniform. Don’t stand in
the line or carry a gun. And never write
songs saying that you do.
We also pushed you never to come in contact with any of these people
yourself, but to have acquaintances of yours deliver the books, and
join the music fan clubs for you. The reason for this was that each
acquaintance that we OK’d had some difference between themselves and
the band we asked you to send them to. We had you send straights to
drug-oriented bands, women to men, blacks to whites, and people who
did not fit the standard of beauty to those who did. This allowed us
to test their music about you and the Spiritual Revolution, as well
as the much larger amount of music generated/resonated from their
music.
Most of these musicians, because of
the enormous psychic energy
inherent in the mind-control machines that operate through the
music, are somewhat aware of what is going on, and have chosen
sides.
Well, this is a war, and we are the officers. We choose our own
soldiers, and we choose those that will pilot Baby out of here.
William Burroughs to the contrary, applying doesn’t guarantee
acceptance.
Not all of those who apply are Earth people, of course. Nor are they
regular agents like you. Many of them came from the Ice Planet – a
planet they killed with their own hands just as the Earth people are
killing their planet now. We brought them all here for another
chance, a chance to incarnate in this expanding population so they
could continue their lives and make something of themselves here.
The fact that we transported them here does not mean instant
acceptance in our ranks. This is a test. We decide if they pass or
not.
We observed these people’s reactions to your
Spiritual Revolution
book, its truths and its errors, and pushed some of the musicians
who’d read it to generate music showing all their true feelings.
Mostly, this was intended for Baby, so she/they could see why we
make the choices we do. We then judged both the music and everyone
who listened to it who aspired to be a part of our civilization, or
a part of Baby.
Through this process we weeded out those who were prejudiced,
vicious, stupid, or fawning from our ranks. As a civilized people we
have certain standards to uphold. As a federated army of peoples
that think, look, and act as unlike each other as night and day, we
do not want anyone who has opted out of our reprogramming, or failed
so miserably as to still be prejudiced against anyone of their own
race, where the differences are minute. These may seem like small
things to them, but to us these are basic traits without which a
person is scarcely human.
Such people, if they remain unchanged, will simply be pushed back
into reincarnation on this planet, if it remains capable of
supporting life. We do not want them, nor do we think they are
suitable material to be part of the God Child. We are actually doing
them a great favor, as they are probably just powerful enough to
remain unchanged in the group mind, were they to become part of it,
therefore the group consensus would regretfully be forced to
assimilate them or use them as rocket fuel, if you want to use that
terminology, unless they are able to drop off at a suitable planet,
and start the whole Baby process over again. We don’t approve of
this process being started by uncivilized people like that, and we
will take all steps necessary to see that it doesn’t happen again.
Your planet, with all its pride and prejudice, its slavery and
starvation, its Theocrats and wars, is a direct result of beings
with similar opinions dropping off and starting life on some poor
unsuspecting planet because they weren’t civilized enough to get
along with their peers in a group mind.
One Earth every few thousand years is enough for us, thank you.
Q. What is the difference between someone like you and my regular
spirit guides?
A. You space people live free of your civilization’s group mind most
of the time. The group mind stays on your planets instead of going
into space with you. People like us live on the planets and are part
of the same group mind that your people use as you use your
computers and other machines. To you, the group mind is just a tool
that gives you access to psychic technology. To us, it’s the mother
that gave birth to our civilization and the spouse we are all
married to, in the same way that most of you marry other sovereign individuals and live together for mutual support.
I am on temporary assignment as a liaison from the group mind to
your army. I can talk to you, but I am really one of those who are
here to talk to the God Children.
Some of them are beginning to achieve partial awareness, and during
the last couple of years I’ve started contacting the one that some
of the music people call Baby. It can’t really see me, of course, as
it is mostly still a beast. It’s still potential, a great potential
that could be realized if your army people could only cut off the
psychic contact those black magicians and their Theocrat masters
have with it.
I am also one of the backups that will “ride the tiger” – you would
say steer the new God clear of the planet during the last days – if
the Earth people we are training as pilots don’t make it through
basic training.
Some of your readers already know who her pilot is intended to be.
He had to drop his gun, and for now he uses affection training,
mostly. Unfortunately the psychic cross-waves from the Theocrats and
the black lodges have tended to short circuit him for awhile,
because he can’t defend himself the way he should be able to do, but
we do think he’ll be OK by the time she is ready to go.
And yes, I will answer those who keep asking the question in songs
and other telepathic transmissions – Yes; I do “make love to the
monster.” It needs human contact to become socialized, and civilized
people don’t have to make an artificial separation between affection
and sexuality the way primitive people often do. We can handle the
power involved without becoming corrupted.
So don’t misunderstand and think I’m one of the star-struck, like so
many of you who are complaining about being “addicted to love.” Like
all of my people, I “carry a gun,” and I will shoot it down, once
more, if the Theocrats gain control of it again, or if it becomes
dominated by any of the black lodges. This is not as heartless as it
sounds to you with only Earth memories. It’s only like sedation and
an operation to remove the cancerous elements.
Many of you who use metaphors like “sleeping on the inter-state”
already know what the beast-baby is like. What riding the tiger will
be like. Think of the thought-exchange you get whenever you check
out the back-road telegraph lines. Then imagine this anytime you
want to pull it up, as a constant in your mind, from everyone. Don’t
worry about the black magicians. They won’t be with us. Think of
your blood brothers, and their passion and their love. This is what
you will live with for the next few centuries until we get to
another planet.
Remember, too, that we simplify when we say “The Beast.” There are
thousands of them now, and hundreds will survive to the end. Each
separate group mind will be very different from the others. Probably
many of you already know your sisters/brothers.

Appendix A: A Suggested Code of Conduct for Spiritual
Revolutionaries
Q. Do you think people really need to be told things like,
“Spiritual Revolutionaries shouldn’t desecrate churches or beat up
Fundamentalists?” I hope the whole tone of this book makes it
obvious that neither the author nor the Invisible College think in
these terms at all.
A. That’s true, but as we said before, we think it’s a good idea to
say these things in so many words, to minimize the effects of any
possible actions by Theocratic agents. We can’t prevent either fools
or enemies from doing things we disapprove of and trying to attach
the name of the Spiritual Revolution to them; but if we make a list
of don’ts, at least we can reduce such people’s credibility.
1. The Invisible College does not authorize any living people on
Earth to act as our permanent or official representatives. We will
send telepathic messages to anyone we consider capable of receiving
them accurately and whose general personality structure and conduct
are acceptable to us, and we will plainly label these as coming from
the Invisible College. However, this does not mean we give a general
endorsement to the opinions and actions of the people who receive
and pass on such messages.
Even more important, when anything purporting to be such a message
is published, Spiritual Revolutionaries should never accept it as
authoritative, unless their own best judgment tells them it is a
valid message from us and unless they agree with it ethically.
Readers of War in Heaven have already been instructed to react to
the book in this way, and the sane principle should be applied to
this Code of Conduct as well. We hope you will accept it and abide
by it, but you have to make up your own mind.
And remember this: the Theocrats are going to send some very subtle
and sophisticated deceptions to fool Spiritual Revolutionaries.
Analyze everything you hear, read, and receive telepathically on the
subject of Spiritual Revolution very carefully before you accept it
as true.
2. Although the war between the
Theocrats and the Invisible College
is a deadly and bitter one, Spiritual Revolutionaries gain
absolutely nothing by feeling negative emotions toward people who
serve the interests of the Theocrats on Earth. Even more important,
the Invisible College does not want people who have made the
breakthrough to debate spiritual issues with believers in Theocratic
religion, nor to make direct, in-person contact with them under any
circumstances. You shouldn’t hate them or attack them in any way,
but you shouldn’t try to convert them either. Confine your
proselytizing activities to people who appear friendly, or at least
neutral, to the general cause of Spiritual Revolution.
3. Spiritual Revolutionaries should not write or teach general
attacks on organized religion similar to those that organized
atheists have traditionally done. Our enemy is Theocracy, not
religion in general.
The Invisible College is now making a major effort to take control
individual congregations of religious believers away from the
Theocrats. In most cases, the external trappings of the religious
group don’t change enough for outside observers to tell it is no
longer Theocratic, nor are the people involved consciously aware of
what has happened.
For this reason, critiques of organized religion by
Spiritual
Revolutionaries should be specific, not general. It is best to limit
yourselves to pointing out how a specific element of doctrine or
ritual practice advances the cause of Theocracy.
4. The long-term goal of the
Invisible College is to assist Earth
people in building an advanced civilization on this planet. Our
methods for doing so are basically humanistic, pragmatic, and
experimental, rather than idealistic or ideological.
We believe that the only way to design social institutions of all
kinds to meet human needs is to try a wide variety of possible
solutions to specific problems, and allow a process of natural
selection to operate through competition, compromise, and Hegelian
synthesis. Every power structure should contain checks and balances;
this can only be done by deliberately encouraging internal
conflicts, which reduce the over-all efficiency of the power
structure to a certain extent. Even social justice has a price.
Strong, creative leadership is important, but so is consent of the
governed. Achieving the greatest good for the greatest number is a
valid ethical goal, but so is respecting individual rights.
Spiritual Revolutionaries should try to apply these principles as
much as possible in all their specific activities, as the Invisible
College does.
5. The emotional tone of the overt
Spiritual Revolutionary movement
is intended to be positive, constructive, and optimistic. The very
fact that people are making the breakthrough and becoming aware of
the essential facts about the Theocrats means that the principal
Theocratic mechanism for controlling the human race has already been
broken. Finding out about the Invisible College and the
existence of
advanced extraterrestrial civilizations means that concepts like
“progress” and “human perfectibility” can now be considered
concrete, achievable goals rather than wild utopian dreams.
Most important of all, learning to deal with spiritual phenomena as
part of the natural universe, and with spiritual beings as human
rather than superhuman, removes a major source of fear of the
unknown. As soon as you make the breakthrough, most of the
previously unanswerable questions about spiritual reality suddenly
have answers. These answers can be supported with empirical
evidence, and they advance the general conclusion that human beings
have the potential to control their own destiny. This gives concrete
reason to be hopeful about the future.

Appendix B: A Symbol for the Spiritual Revolution
The symbol that the Invisible College has chosen to represent the
Spiritual Revolutionary movement is simply a five-pointed star with
the symbol “<” inside it. (This is how the ancient Romans wrote the
letter that appears as “C” in English). The IC’s symbol for the
Spiritual Revolutionary movement combines the Masonic “Great Star”
and the “G” that appears so frequently inside various other Masonic
symbols.
Various occult traditions assign a number of different meanings to
the “<,” which can be interpreted as the Roman “C” or “G,” or the
Greek “Kappa” or “Gamma.” (The two letters have a common origin and
several intermediate forms.)
The “<” can stand for the Masonic “G for God.” I’ve discussed how
Masons in the lower Degrees have traditionally accepted a rather
orthodox Judeo-Christian definition of “God,” whereas those in the
highest degrees have a conception of deity that approaches the
breakthrough.
By putting the letter that symbolizes the Invisible College inside
the star, the extraterrestrials that gave the symbol to earthly
occultists are affirming that they are just as human as Earth people
are. Notice that a five-pointed star drawn with two of the points at
the bottom suggests the general shape of the human body.
Other occult groups interpret the “<” as a “Gamma,” standing for the
“Gnosis,” or “Great Secret.” Another interpretation is as a “Kappa”
to begin the Greek adjective “kryptos,” meaning “secret.” The “<”
can also be interpreted as a Roman C standing for Custodes, meaning
Guardians, as in "Guardians of the Great Secret” or “Guardians of the
Human Race,” depending on whether it refers to people who have made
the breakthrough or to the Invisible College.
The five-pointed star has been used in the West throughout the
Christian era to symbolize many different forms of organized
opposition to Theocratic religion. It is still in use today by
Witches and Pagan groups as well by many different occult groups.
The Invisible College has subconsciously manipulated all these
diverse groups into using the same symbol to make it easier for
people to discover that a single “unseen spiritual conspiracy” is
behind all of them. Each group has a different surface
interpretation of its meaning, but practically every group that uses
the symbol opposes Theocratic religion in one way or another.
If you feel that the Spiritual Revolutionary Movement needs a
symbol, the Invisible College suggests this is a good one to use.
However, if you want tousle something of your own creation, or
nothing at all, that’s fine too. It’s not crucial. The Spiritual
Revolution is not a name, a symbol, a theory, a body of information,
or a group of people. It is a state of mind: the breakthrough.

Appendix C: Summary – A Revolutionary Cosmology
The human soul is composed of astral matter, which is different in
subatomic composition from physical matter but still follows the
same general set of natural laws. The soul is a complex biological
entity just as the body is, and it is not immortal or imperishable.
Like any living thing, it can grow, and repair its own tissues, but
it can also be wounded or sicken and die. It also requires
nourishment, which it obtains from the body while incarnated. The
human body converts some of the chemical energy from the food it
ingests into astral energy, which nourishes the soul.
After the physical body dies, the soul can survive temporarily in a
disembodied state, living on energy it stored while incarnated.
Disembodied souls (spirits) can also absorb astral energy radiated
by living people who are in states of consciousness that activate
their psychic powers – sexual orgasm, religious ecstasy, etc.; but
this energy is not usually enough to nourish them adequately.
Spirits can also drain astral energy directly from other spirits.
Such spiritual vampirism and cannibalism is one of the principal
causes of the War in Heaven.
The spirit world (astral plane) is not “the natural abode of the
soul” as so much religious literature asserts, but is a harsh and
hostile environment; many souls do not survive when they enter it
after physical death. The astral plane is a condition, not a place.
We can’t see spiritual beings because the astral matter of which
they are made does not reflect or absorb ordinary light, but they
are all around us, all the time, right here on the surface of the
Earth.
Some disembodied spirits can use their psychic powers to communicate
with each other and with living people. Since the telepathic faculty
of an average Earth person is locked deep in the subconscious mind,
psychic communications from spirits and from other people usually
are recorded directly in the subconscious memory banks without the
knowledge or approval of the conscious mind. Because of this,
disembodied spirits and living psychics can practice a form of mind
control that most people find very difficult to detect or resist.
After physical death, some human souls become ”Theocrats.” They
refuse to reincarnate, but stay disembodied indefinitely. Theocrats
maintain political power over other spirits by falsely claiming to
be gods, sustaining themselves by feeding off the vital energies of
others. The Theocrats use certain forms of organized religion to
enslave the souls of believers after death, and they oppose all
efforts by living people to build a truly advanced civilization on
Earth.
The psychic powers of the Theocrats are not strong enough to allow
them to paralyze the will of a living person and simply take over
direct control of his or her conscious mind. Instead, they practice
mind control by telepathically reprogramming the subconscious of
anyone who is in the correct state of consciousness to be
vulnerable. Until recently, the Theocrats most often practiced this
mind control during religious rituals, but they now also practice it
on people who are watching television or listening to recorded
music. It is no accident that so many people have compared the hero
worship of media stars with the religious worship of gods. The
purpose of both is the same: to enslave people to the Theocrats.
The cruelest Theocratic deception of all is the religious promise of
“eternal life in Heaven.” Everyone who enters "Heaven” after death
is really entering a Theocratic band. A few of the souls who become
entrapped in such bands will eventually become Theocrats themselves.
The rest will be devoured. And the concept that human souls can
become immortal only by remaining on the astral plane with the
“gods” is a lie anyway. A soul can survive almost indefinitely
simply by reincarnating for life after life on Earth, and it can
grow in wisdom and psychic power during the process.
The War in Heaven is an effort by another group of spirits, called
the “Invisible College” in this book, to break the control of the
Theocrats over the human race and allow people to continue their
natural spiritual and cultural evolution. The subconscious
telepathic manipulations of the Invisible College are responsible
for most of what is good in modern civilization.
Some of the spirits in the Invisible College have been sent here
deliberately by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that possess
sufficient psychic technology to teleport souls over interstellar
distances. These extraterrestrial spirits are partly motivated by
altruism, but they are also serving the interest of their own
societies. The Theocrats are potentially dangerous to the
inhabitants of other worlds because they are perverting the natural
capacity of the human soul to form god-like composite entities.
The human race exists in two forms: individual and composite. The
individual form consists of a soul incarnated in a body, and is a
complete living creature that can perform all life functions,
including reproduction. An individual disembodied human soul cannot
reproduce on its own. Every soul was originally created by a human
body, and the body cannot survive without a soul. If a disembodied
soul does not incarnate into an infant, a new soul forms through a
natural embryonic process.
However, the human soul also has the potential to fore a
composite
entity similar to the group soul that a colony of social insects
possesses. Instead of attaching themselves to bodies, a large number
of disembodied souls attach themselves together, creating a
composite entity with the potential to develop a conscious
intelligence separate from that of the individual souls contained in
it. If this entity possesses only an animal mind and emotions, it is
called an Elemental Spirit. If it develops full creative
intelligence and becomes a moral, rational being, it is called a
God. (However, it is important to realize
that such a God has little in common with the Theocratic impostors
who have been
posing as gods on Earth throughout history.)
Both Elementals and Gods are complete living beings capable of
reproduction, and they are not dependent on the human body to supply
them with nourishment, because they can directly absorb the astral
energy radiated into space by certain kinds of stars. However, they
cannot do this while they are on or near the surface of a planet,
but only while traveling through deep space.
When planet-bound, both Elementals and Gods can obtain the energy
needed for life and growth only from psychic emanations of living
people or by absorbing other disembodied spirits. In their
embryonic
stages, the Gods are just as parasitic on the living human race as
the Theocrats are; of course, a human embryo is a parasite on its
mother, too.
The natural course of human evolution on a planet is a grim and
animalistic one, dictated by iron laws of ecology. It is natural for
human civilizations to develop under the complete control of
Theocratic spirits, and to make slow but steady technological
progress that eventually allows the living population to increase
into the billions. Such a society allows little opportunity for
individual freedom or personal psychic development, and most souls
that survive for more than a few incarnations do so only by becoming
Theocrats.
Eventually, human overpopulation begins to destroy the planet’s
biosphere, and deaths begin to exceed births by hundreds of millions
every year. Theocratic bands on the astral plane became larger and
larger, and some of them develop minds of their own and turn into Elemental spirits. The
Elementals devour most of the Theocrats who
are running the civilization, which then collapses, causing the
living population to drop even further. At this point, the
Elementals depart into space and the whole cycle begins again,
unless the planet has been too badly damaged to support human life
any more.
These Elementals are extremely dangerous to people on other worlds.
They have the minds and emotions of predatory animals. Whenever they
approach an inhabited planet, they remember devouring human souls as
infants and attack this concentrated supply of food. An advanced
human civilization with a high level of psychic technology can
survive such an attack, but only by fighting a desperate war and
suffering heavy casualties. This is why the extraterrestrial spirits
are now on Earth: to interfere with this process both for our sake
and for their own.
If they succeed in winning this War in Heaven, new Gods
will be
formed instead of destructive Elementals when Earth’s population
reaches the die-off point; and with luck, a new advanced
civilization of individual human beings will also be born.
There is very little that ordinary Earth people can do to assist the
extraterrestrial spirits in their direct psychic battles with the
Theocrats and the Elementals that the latter control. The
Invisible
College recruits a few advanced magicians to fight in this phase of
the War in Heaven, but anyone with enough spiritual knowledge and
psychic training to qualify already knew everything in this book
before reading it. Most attempts to recruit Earth people to fight in
the War in Heaven using operational magic are Theocratic deceptions.
What then does the Invisible College want people to do to assist in
winning the War in Heaven? The most important thing you can do if
you agree with the basic thesis of this book is to ensure your own
survival after death, by avoiding all forms of Theocratic mind
control and by developing as much conscious control over your
psychic powers as you can. Stay away from religious and occult
groups that practice religious mind control, and don’t become
addicted to popular music or the electronic media; but do work with
occult or New Age groups that teach people how to take charge of
their own spiritual destiny.
War In Heaven contains many negative, frightening ideas, but it is
essentially a positive book. It is very probable that the Invisible
College will win over the Theocrats, and that most of the human race
will survive to enter a New Age. The only people who won’t survive
will be those who die and are swallowed up in Theocratic bands
before this happens. The goal of the Spiritual Revolutionary
movement is to allow as many people as possible to avoid this fate
by spreading the message in this book and helping them to make a
breakthrough in consciousness about the nature of spiritual reality.
