I put forward a new theory of the universe which suggested that the universe was something like a gigantic electric computer and that the energetical and material interactions could be regarded as a sort of cosmic data processing... Since man is a part of the intelligent universe then it would be reasonable to suppose that he incorporates cybernetic (computer system) design principles; and indeed, a cursory examination of the structure of the human psyche and body indicate a system basically capable of achieving steersmanship (cybernetics comes from the Greek word kybernetes, meaning “steersman”). 11
Foster further proposes that the great universal computer can be ruled over by a controller and master. All that is necessary, he contends, is for someone to learn how to “program” the universal computer. Perhaps this idea is why Timothy Leary, LSD drug guru of the 1960’s, now has taken on a new project: He has formed a computer software company to promote the powers of the mind. The name for his new company: “Headware.”
The God Men Who Program the Universal Computer
In essence, Foster and many new thought, New Age scientists envision the universe as a great computer to be manipulated by the superior wills of fully conscious, New Age exalted men. The Secret Brotherhood is to be the power that tells the universe what to do. These are the men who rule over earth and mankind by knowing the secrets of operating the cosmic computer keyboard.
To those who view the universe as a massive information processing computer and the Secret Brotherhood as the computer’s programmer and operator, a computer program (occult mind control) becomes “God’s Word:” In an obvious distortion and abuse of biblical principles, David Foster states that:
Some of the dogmas of religion may well be true and especially as to “In the beginning was the Word” and “Let there be Light.” For light is the mechanics of information and the Word is the utter foundation of computer technology. 12
Contrary to what Christians know to be true, this distorted theory alleges that superman can take control over both the Word and the Light. The conspiracy and revolutionary process shall end in “cosmic consciousness,” with the expert leadership of the Secret Brotherhood crowned and sitting on the universal throne.
In the language of Computers, the Global Brain, composed of the obedient, unified minds of the masses, is to be programmed through occultic magic to comply with the whims and demands of the hidden elite. Malcontents will be seen as similar to a computer virus. Programming experts will be called out on a mission to find the computer viruses and destroy them to preserve the global computer program. Only the docile, harmless, cooperative person will be allowed to live and exist in the new Global Community.
The computer model provides sterling advantages to the totalitarian dictatorship that is now shaping up. It puts in the hands of these super-rich megalomaniacs marvelous powers never before available to the Stalins, Pol Pots, Genghis Khans, Neros and Caligulas of history.
After all, if men can, through magic and manipulation of the mind, be seduced into enthusiastically accepting a World Government and international socialism and slavery, the Secret Brotherhood will not be forced into taking the risk of engaging in more bloody and more brutal means of control. As Britain’s Jonathan Glover discusses in his thought provoking book, What Sort of People Should There Be?, “From the point of view of governments, rule by fear and torture must be a messy affair, generating problems of its own. It would be much simpler if techniques existed to make people want to behave in the desired way.” l3
The Manipulation of Human “Meat Machines”
It is apparent that for many years now, the Secret Brotherhood has been operating on the principle that the human body is nothing more than “a meat machine” which readily responds to external forces. The individual human brain, according to this theory, is a machine that can be operated by an outside agency. In other words, to put it bluntly, the Secret Brotherhood believes that it can pull the strings by programming minds and thereby inducing men to effective action in promoting the goals and aims of the Brotherhood.
In a sense this is a form of magic in which the massive organizing power and occultic mind control techniques of the Secret Brotherhood are mobilized in a concentrated assault against individual thought. This is similar to how the medium in a spiritualist seance supposedly mobilizes the energy forces to conjure up an image or apparition which then becomes observable to all those present.
The idea that man is a mere fleshly machine whose mind is highly susceptible to programming and influence by an organized, outside source was once outlined by the famed engineer and inventor, Nikola Tesla. Tesla, a genius who gave mankind the alternating current generating system and therefore brought electric light to the whole world, was a contemporary of Thomas Edison. He was also an occultist and a New Ager of his day who wrote and commented about the human brain and on spiritual matters almost as much as he did on technology. It was Tesla who once wrote:
We are automata entirely controlled by the forces of the medium, being tossed about like corks on the surface of the water. 14
Significantly, Tesla maintained that the masses are blissfully unaware that impulses from the outside are influencing the way they think and act. Instead, they mistake these impulses for “free will,” never suspecting that outside agents prompt their behavior and thought patterns. Tesla used the term “cosmic” to describe these external forces that exist in man’s environment. But he emphasized that whereas most men do not even consciously realize they are “meat machines,” some are much more sensitive machines. These are persons who receive impressions and can understand and interpret these impressions. They possess the ability to discern. Such a man is, in a sense, a “finer automaton” than others, said Tesla. 15
Tesla also believed that the universe is composed of energy forces, which he called “pranic energy” (prana being a Hindu term for God or divine energy). Again we have a reference to the absurd New Age and Masonic theology holding that “God” is simply a force, an inanimate collection of energy vibrations. If mankind is simply part of “God” the energy force, if he, too, is merely a material and spiritual collection of atomic substances, then it stands to reason that an elite group of Wise Men can figure out a way to organize this energy force and direct its work along desired paths.
This has long been the task, then, of the Secret Brotherhood: to devise occult means in which the universal energy force of which mankind is a part can be so directed that men and women labor willingly to build the new kingdom. Moreover, it has long been the aim of the Secret Brotherhood to organize this occult energy force in such a way that those who comprise the lower classes will give deference to and put all authority in the hands of the few who rule over them.
What’s more, if through magical powers and advanced psycho-spiritual techniques of mind control the energy force can be effectively and successfully manipulated so that the masses of people who are its components can be made to believe an illusion—that they themselves are in control of their own destiny and that they themselves possess free will—then so much the better.
Thus, a World Brain made up of billions of deceived men and women blissfully unaware of its magical manipulation by an outside force (the hidden elite) is exactly what the men of the Secret Brotherhood have in mind.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: Could This Be Magic?—Alchemy, Illusion, and the Processing of Humanity
The Secret Brotherhood has had centuries to develop its interest in magic. Magical knowledge involves the manipulation of “The Force.” According to ancient alchemical texts, one who has magical powers is supposedly able to annihilate matter and to reconstruct an entire new structure that is more pleasing. Magic, therefore, is spiritual alchemy, an alchemy which takes the baser metals (man) and transmutes, or magically transforms, that baser metal into something greater and of a higher order: pure gold. “Pure gold,” in the mysterious and coded, secretive language of magic and alchemy, means that man has achieved a higher state of consciousness, and has realized his d
ivinity.
This is the Great Work, the illumination of mankind, the practice of occult transformation practiced by medieval alchemists and sorcerers. Alchemy is also the essence of the secret doctrines found in all Renaissance magic textbooks. And alchemy is at the core of the arcane teachings of the secret societies—such as the Rosicrucians, the Skull & Bones, Freemasonry, the Knights of Malta, the Order of the Golden Dawn, and the Knights Templar.
A master magician who knows how to wield the forces of alchemy, the theory goes, understands that the restructuring of reality cannot be brought into being by brute force or by muscle power, or militarism. The true alchemist, notes Peter Partner in his insight-filled book, The Knights Templar and Their Myth, is aware that, “the occult world qualities are transmitted by sympathetic contagion, not established by argument.” 1
The art of wizardry calls for the magician to line up materials which he wishes to transmute in such a manner that they will act like contagious bacteria. Each cell must exert an influence on the next so that as a whole (holism) the individual cells will result in a totally new product.
In other words, if magic is to be used to create a New World Order, the individual cells—that is, the 6 billion people who make up the planet Earth—must be brought together as one. Though they may be diverse in terms of their cultures, ethnic beliefs, nationalities, religions and languages, their diversity must be harnessed and fitted to become part of the whole.
Unity and Diversity
Thus, the Secret Brotherhood came up with its idea of Unity and Diversity, which is sometimes phrased as Unity in Diversity. Furthermore, since magic involves willpower, the will to create a new reality, the Secret Brotherhood also came up with a neat ritual formula and expression which has now become universally known. This ritual expression is now in wide use throughout America and in other societies, though only the occultists know its hidden meaning. It goes like this: “Think Globally, Act Locally.”
To heighten the development of the World Mind, the magicians of the Secret Brotherhood also came up with an idea to be called Planetary Meditation. Planetary Meditation is best achieved by the collective grouping of men’s minds through mass gala events and pageantry; for example, We Are the World; Farm Aid; Live Aid; World Day of Meditation; Harmonic Convergence; etc. Occult magicians believe that it is through such events that a sustained and concentrated thought-form will grow to eventually envelope the whole planet. All of humanity will then be one giant theatre of deception.
World Goodwill, in its bulletin entitled A New Vision of Life on Earth, hints about the magical planetary system that has been developed and now put to use by the Brotherhood. Noting that “the earth is undergoing a profound transformation,” the globalist organization touts this as a happy event: “Through this process a thought-form of the oneness of life is being created.” 2
World Goodwill also told its readers that, “At the height of the global meditation a new vision of life on earth is being revealed...a soul center of humanity is in the process of being born:” 3
When fully developed, this new humanity will be a humanity which celebrates all life in its rituals, its stories, its arts, and its science. It will be a humanity which expresses that unity in its economic, religious and political life. 4
How will this new vision of life on earth be brought about? World Goodwill says that the environmental movement will go a long way toward creating this new system of collective planetary meditation:
It involves millions of individuals, and countless local groups of concerned citizens in all parts of the world; it embraces the powerful collective fields of thought formed by such groups as the Worldwide Fund for Nature; Greenpeace; Friends of the Earth. It is fueled by the...shifting of political priorities that occur in the endless round of intergovernmental conferences organized by the United Nations. 5
The Whole World is a Theater of Illusion
We see then, that the Secret Brotherhood is using various types of powerful magic on a planetary scale. What these men are doing is setting the stage for a great deception. They have organized the whole world into a theatre of illusion. The whole world has become the lie. In effect, the religion of the Illuminati is witchcraft. No wonder Freemasonry often bills itself as “the Craft.”
It is not only Freemasonry but most secret societies that today are led by men who fervently study magical literature and medieval texts. Freemasons call this branch of work by their leadership “Speculative Masonry,” and everyone who becomes a Sovereign Grand Commander of Accepted Scottish Rite Freemasonry (the world’s largest Masonic group) will always be a person skilled and trained in Speculative Masonry.
The head of Masonry is, in fact, a master magician. Such a person is one who knows how to discern the esoteric and hidden meanings of veiled symbols. He must also understand the latent power of rituals as well as the necessity for the Masonic Order’s bloodcurdling oath of secrecy. And he is also required to understand the powerful magic inherent in words and must be able to interpret and create new words of power.
Most of all, the successful leader of the secret society that is controlled by the hierarchy of the Secret Brotherhood must be able to create and enact pageants—fantastic and wondrous pageants—which captivate men’s minds and motivate men to action. And the most fantastic of all pageants is to create a spectacular celebration of a perpetual nature in which the whole of mankind participates. The most talented of magicians is able to establish the whole world as a theatre of action.
The greatest trick, therefore, the most impressive sleight of hand of the magicians and alchemists who are in charge of forming the New World Order, is the supremely deceptive act of creating this massive, global theatre of illuminism. Every technique of magic has been used by the magicians, and they have followed a masterful script and blueprint which has left nothing to chance.
As the result of their handiwork, men’s minds have been conditioned to such a drastic degree that, as it now stands, man’s free will has practically evaporated. Mass hypnotism has been so successful that men have become like vegetables. Their minds have been robbed of discernment.
The processing of humanity that has occurred from the manipulation of the energy forces by the Brotherhood can best be described as Planetization. This is the term used by the globalists, the New Age philosophers, and the masters of the secret societies alike. It is through this process of planetization that the masses have become weak and pliable subjects of a new class of overlords.
Does a New Ruling Class Control the Masses?
William Irwin Thompson, a man widely recognized by fellow New Agers, Sierra Club environmentalists, and Earth religionists as one of their own most distinguished writers and teachers, recently affirmed the existence of a ruling, aristocratic elite. America has led the way and “created a process of planetization of the economy,” says Thompson. He also says that this “planetization process” has already resulted in the takeover of world authority by a new ruling class of the super-rich.
Interviewed in Quest magazine, Thompson, author of such books as Evil and World Order, Passage About Earth, and At the Edge of History, observed that:
America has...energized and set up our previous enemies, Germany and Japan, and created the system that enabled them to very rapidly become wealthy and dynamic. 6
Thompson, who divides his time between Zurich, Switzerland, and New York, where he is a Lindisfarne associate at the New Age-oriented Cathedral of St. John the Divine, told Quest that, “It’s sort of a return of the Middle Ages in the sense that nationalism is not as important as it used to be. Money and economic class,” said Thompson, “now dictate who reigns over the earth.” “Society,” he adds, “is beginning to take on very medieval characteristics.”
According to Thompson, the caste system of India is almost a role model for what is now transpiring on a global basis. He asserts that:
There is a ruling class at the time that communicates through oral means, face-to-face...and at the bottom
there is an underclass. So it’s almost like a return of the Vedic (Hindu) caste system. 7
The “oral” class now in authority, says Thompson, “has the right accent, and has wealth... The rich get richer and the poor poorer, and the smaller ruling class just rules the masses through pageantry and illusion.” 8
Pageantry and illusion are the primary ingredients of magic. And therefore, it is through magic that the lower classes are being manipulated. In addition to the medieval-style political and economic New World Order that has emerged, Thompson also speaks of a new planetary religion. “We have now,” he remarks, “a new spirituality, what has been called the New Age Movement.”
The planetization of the esoteric has been going on for some time... This is now beginning to influence concepts of politics and community in ecology... This is the Gaia (Mother Earth) politique...planetary culture. 9
And just how does this new world religious system, this new “planetary culture” operate? Well, Thompson points out, a prime example is that “Japan got Detroit’s automotive industry and the United States got (Buddhist) Zen monasteries in California.”
“That’s the way cultural exchange always works,” explains Thompson, “with Zen coming to America and all the Indian gurus like Yogananda coming to America.” 10
“The esoteric tradition of the New Age has been going on for a long time,” Thompson remarked. ll The emergence of a new ruling class of the elite, combined with the spirituality of the New Age, means that we’re in a radical new time. The old world, William Irwin Thompson concludes, is over—“The independent sovereign state, with the sovereign individual in his private property.” The Christian fundamentalist days are dead or dying, too, he contends. The planetary culture is here. It’s a new day.
