We must remember that things are not always what they seem
to be in the physical world; white is sometimes black pretending to be white
and the other way around. Do not believe things just because it is written; it
is just somebody else’s opinion. Sometimes he knows more than the average
person but sometimes even he can be deceived or he may be bias. In my difficult
quest to find out who is Good or Evil amongst our Leaders and the Policy-makers
of today, I came across the following article by DR. K R Bolton that ties in
nicely with the trend of thought that I intend to bring out and explore through
this website:
For those who believe there is an ‘occult’ or ‘spiritual war’
taking place between forces of ‘light’ and ‘darkness’, or ‘good’ and ‘evil’,
and that this ‘war’ manifests on the material and mortal planes politically,
culturally, and economically, it is often surprisingly difficult to discern the
affiliations in this ‘battle’, with the multitude of occult Orders, Schools and
personalities. These often use similar or even identical terminologies and
symbols, and draw on the same traditions and origins. In such a situation
well-meaning people are easily duped into supporting long-range aims of which
they do not understand.
Occult War: Adepts ‘Black & ‘White”
The definition of ‘Good and evil’, or ‘light and darkness’,
metaphysically can – from an esoteric perspective – be regarded as a dichotomy
[clash] between those who seek a higher spiritual path for mankind, and those
who seek to enchain man to matter. This dichotomy is well portrayed in the
standard depictions of ‘The Devil’ trump in the Tarot Major Arcana. Paul Foster
Case, founder of the Builders of the Adytum, gave a particularly apt
explanation:
In its most general
meanings, it signifies Mammon and thus big business, the conventions of
society, the injustice and cruelty of a social order in which money takes the
place of God, in which humanity is bestialised, in which war is engineered by
greed masquerading as patriotism, in which fear is dominant. Students of
astrology will have no difficulty in seeing how this corresponds to Capricorn,
the sign of big business, and the sign of world fame.
One sees in this Trump a male and female human each starting
to take on the appearance of wild beasts – with horns and tails, with the Devil
enthroned. As Case states, it is symbolic of the reign of Mammon, which is
ushered in by materialistic doctrines such as Capitalism and Marxism, keeping
humanity focused on lower pursuits in the guise of ‘progress’ and ‘freedom’.
Occultists such as Rene Guenon, Aleister Crowley and Julius
Evola have sought to identify contending Schools as ‘white’ and ‘Black’
Brotherhoods, or as ‘Right’ and ‘Left’ hand Paths.
Given the confusion that exist – because individuals and
occult currents that are diametrically opposed often claim to represent the
same traditions – the biblical injunction ‘by their fruits ye shall know them’
is the best formula for identifying motives, although this also is often
oobscure. For example, the notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley, whose
‘evil’ antics plays up to the tabloid press, could easily be regarded as a
‘Black Adept’. Although Crowley claimed to work in the tradition of, among
others, and for unclean reasons, the 18th century Black Adept Adam
Weishaupt and his crypto-Masonic Illuminati, Crowley sought to exposed the
spiritual war that was taking place between the ‘White’ and ‘Black’ Adepts,
while his doctrine of Thelema is antithetical to the doctrine of the
Illuminati. Also, while having been a Freemason, as was Eliphas Levi, Rene
Guenon condemned the Black Adepts who had subverted and redirected Masonry.
Steiner and The Ahrimanic Deception
Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925), founder of Anthroposophy,
whose influence has gone far beyond ‘occult’ circles for his prominence in
alternative education, architecture, and organic agriculture, was one of those
seminal personalities who believed in the existence of such an ‘occult war’.
Again, as with Crowley, difficulties are encounted due to Steiner’s own
affiliations with Freemasonry. However, like Guenon, Evola and Crowley,
forthrightly sought to expose a Dark current at work within the secret
societies, and in particular within Freemasonry, whose influence was being
directed in the world politically.
In a 1919 lecture in Zurich entitled ‘The Ahrimanic
Deception’, Steiner stated that, “a great part of mankind today is already
under the control, from one side or another, of Ahrimanic forces of a cosmic
nature which are growing stronger and stronger.” Steiner had an unusual
perception of [another influence] what he called the “Luciferic Impulse,” which
he stated manifested on Earth in 3000 BCE. The Luciferic Impulse prepared the
way for the “Christ Impulse” in Steiner’s cosmology. Both ‘Impulses’ began to
fade and mankind has therefore become increasingly materialistic. Steiner
stated this Ahimanic Deception emanates from an actual being:
The Ahrimanic impulse
proceedsfrom a supersensible Being different from the Being of Christ or
of [Light] Lucifer……The influence of
this Being becomes especially powerful in the Fifth Post-Atlantean Epoch. If we
look at the confused conditions of recent years we shall find that men have
been brought to such chaotic conditions mainly through the Ahrimanic Powers. [Evil]
While the Luciferic Impulse pushes humanity into what
Nietzsche might have called the Dionysian passion that gives birth to arts and
brings humanity outside of himself, albeit, according to Steiner, with a “false
spirituality,” [Religion is only necessary or needed on a small part of our unfoldment
to keep us on the right path. EDGEBA] “Ahriman is the power that makes man dry,
prosaic, philistine – that ossifies him and brings him to the superstition of
materialism.” [Against evolution. EDGEBA] Ahriman would seem to equate with the
Christian perception of the Antichrist. The Christ Impulse balances the two
poles, in what in some respects seems akin to a Hegelian dialectic. And the
true nature and being of man is essentially the effort to hold the balance
between the powers of Lucifer and Ahriman; [Light and darkness] the Christ
Impulse helps present humanity to establish this equilibrium…..the Ahrimanic
influence has been at work since the middle of the fifteenth century and will
increase in strength until an actual incarnation of Ahriman takes place among
Western humanity.
Preparing the Way for Ahriman
The relevance of this concept of the Ahrimanic Deception in
regard to an ‘Occult war’ for world rule, is that:
Now it is
characteristic of such things that they are prepared long in advance. Ahrimanic
powers prepare the evolution of mankind in such a way that it can fall a pray
to Ahriman when he appears in human form within Western civilisation…..Ahriman
will appear in human form and the only question is, how he will find humanity
prepared. Will his preparations have secured for him as followers the whole of
mankind that today calls itself civilised, or will he find a humanity that can
offer resistance.
The way in which humanity looks at the cosmos under the
Ahimanic Deception is not with the spiritual awe and sense of place of those of
past Civilisations, including, we could add, those of Gothic man in Western
Civilisation’s cycle of youth, as the philosopher-historian Oswald Spengler
pointed out, but as merely part of a mechanical and mathematical process.
Steiner said of this:
Today man gazes from his earth up to the star-world and to
him it is filled with fixed stars, suns, planets, comets and so on. But with
what means does he examine all that looks down to him out of cosmic space? He
examines it with mathematics, with the science of mechanics. What lies around
Earth is robbed of spirit, robbed of soul, even of life. It
is a great mechanism, in fact, only to be grasped by the aid of mathematical,
mechanistic laws….
We might state of this Ahrimanic Deception that it motivates
Rationalism and materialism, the dominant ideologies of the Late West. Steiner
warned that the Ahrimanic Deception aims to imbue Man with “scientific
superstition,” and “external illusion,” that while necessary [it was far
Om Steiner’s intent to repudiate the sciences] has made what
we can identify as Rationalism and Materialism into a dogma.
The second method of the Ahrimanic Deception is to split
society into contending factions. Steiner aptly identified Marxism, as a
product of Scientism, as a primary method of the Ahrimanic Deception.
Since the times of the Reformation and the Renaissance the
economist has emerged as the new priest into the increasingly materialistic
world, while Steiner also pointed out that Christian religion had also become desacralised.
Since the time the
economist has been in command, Rulers are in fact merely the handymen, the
understrappers of the economists. One must not imagine that the rulers of
modern times are anything but the understrappers of the economists.
Steiner next alludes to a very important matter, the power
that the bankers have assumed.
In the nineteenth
century the ‘economical’ man is replaced for the first time by the man thinking
in terms of banking, and in the nineteenth century there is created for the
first time the organisation of finance which swamps every other relationship.
One must only be able to look into these things and follow them up empirically
and practically.
This statement provides the key to the history of the
‘modern world’ for the past several hundred years, and the human agency pushing
for a world state – a ‘New World Order’ enchained to the dead weight of matter.
The power of the international banking cabals prepares the way for an Ahrimanic
World Order by reorienting the spirit of Man.
If men do not realise
that the rights-state and the organism of the Spirit must be set against the
economic order called up through the economists and the banks, then again,
through this lack of awareness, Ahriman will find an important instrument for
preparing his incarnation.
Role of Secret Societies
The ‘Ahrimanic Deception’ equates with what Guenon and Evola
referred to as the ‘Counter-Tradition’. The secret societies it uses behind the
façade of the Perennial Traditions are the ‘Anti-Tradition’. Steiner lectured
on the role of these secret societies in the occult war.
While referring to both the “humanitarian work” and the
spiritual evolution that is supposedly at the foundation of freemasonry,
Steiner, like Levi, Crowley, Evola and Guenon, also spoke of the manner the
‘Ahrimanic Deception’ operates through Freemasonry. Steiner even went further
than anti-Masonic ‘conspiracy theorists’ such as Nesta H Webster and the
eminent Scottish scholar. Prof. John Robison, himself a Grand Lodge Freemason,
both of whom accepted English Masonry’s innocence of intrigue. Steiner,
however, made a particular point of discussing the origins of Continental
Masonry in the English Lodges. Despite its repudiation of ‘irregular’ Grand
Orient Masonry that predominates on Continental Europe and Latin America,
English Grand Lodge Masonry, stated Steiner, was also involved in a struggle
for world power. He said the British Government was subverted by the secret
societies, and that in particular foreign affairs was taken over by “an inner
committee.” Steiner, in tracing the origins of the Grand Orient Masonry to the
Grand Lodge, wrote that:
But everywhere in a
different way, in many places outside the actual British realm, Freemasonry
pursues exclusively or mainly political interests. Such political interests in
the most palpable sence are pursued by the ‘Grand-Orient de France’, but also
by other ‘Grand Orients’. One might now say: what has that to do with the
English?.... But view this in conjunction with the fact that the first
High-degree Lodge in Paris was founded from England, not France! Not French
people but Britons founded it; they only wove the French into their Lodge…..
After listing the Lodges that were founded under the impetus
of the English Grand Lodge, from Spain to Russia, Steiner adds that, “these
Lodges were founded as the external instruments for certain occult-political
impulses.” These impulses included the Fury of the Jacobins,” [who launched a
Reign of Terror over France in the name of ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity’];
weishaupt’s Illuminati and the Italian Carbonari. Although Steiner admits these
began without “evil” intent, [The movements have been taken over by the dark
forces for their own agenda, as we see today happening in our so called popular
revolutions in the Middle East, Egypt for one…EDGEBA] they “continued their
underground work in many different forms,” after being driven underground.
Steiner alludes to the hypocrisy of Grand Lodge Masonry in being able to say:
‘Look at our Lodges,
they are very respectable – and we are not concerned with the others’. But if
one can see through the historical connection and the driving forces in an
interplay of mutual opposition to one another, then it is indeed high British
politics that is concealed behind it.
Of the “occult-plitical societies, Steiner observed they
serve a materialistic aim behind the façade of spirituality. These ‘various
Orders’ are ‘not spiritual, because of their purposes and goals.’ They are the
secret societies that in the name of ‘democracy’ and a ‘Universal republic’ [as
did the Jacobins and the Illuminati]. [I can just add here that there is
another movement by the forces of Light, the real Illuminati, that is also
working for a new world, but totally different to the one that the dark forces
are planning to put in its place….thus the secrecy on the side of the forces of
light…with whom Rudolf Steiner was in contact with and for whom he worked.
EDGEBA.] Steiner warned:
If one wants as a
person of modern times to see clearly in order to meet the world openly and
understand it, then one should not let oneself be blinded by democratic logic,
which is justified only in its own sphere, or by phrases concerning democratic
progress etc. One would have also to point to the interposing of something that
reveals itself in the attempt to give rulership to the few through the means
available within the Lodges – namely, ritual and its suggestive effect.
While genuine mystical lodges existed and still do – even
Guenon sought initiation in them, as did Steiner – both pointed out that one
must be cognisant of those Orders with mystical trappings and claims to ancient
pedigree as a mask for other motives, as they are “often nebulous, maybe even
fraudulent”…. ‘For power is of special importance for these secret societies,
not insight. [End of DR. K R Bolton’s article]
As I said: “I find it very difficult to find out who on the
world stage is working for the evolution of the human race and who is working
against evolution and to enslave the human race.” Our western religions are so
infiltrated by dark forces that not one of them can be trusted to lead us out
of the darkness into the light. We have to look again for the Light from the
East, the Eastern Religions. But, not the Eastern religions as taught to the
Masses of people in the East, but to the Secret Doctrine that was kept pure and
brought to the west through people like H. P. Blavatsky and Alice A. Bailey and
as taught in the Theosophical Society and the Lucis Trust in the Arcane School.
There are other societies that am not familiar with, and some I have studied
with; some are secret, some are not. I found a complete philosophy in the
teachings of H. P. Blavatsky and A. A. Bailey.
One reason why it is difficult to find out the good from the
bad on the world stage is that the forces of light have to work in secret to
hide their planes for the dark forces. Even the personalities on the world
stage have to keep their agendas to themselves, and work in secret or in the
dark, to prevent attacks from the dark side and their agents. They steer
humanity according to the Will of God or the Plan. This Plan must forever
remain out of the hands of the Dark Forces. We all know what happens to
politicians that do not do the bidding of their ‘masters’. We know what Stalin
did to them. We know what happened to JFK.
Another reason is that because the forces of Light are working
to stimulate evolution, they are forced to drive humanity forward by creating a
cause, in line with the Plan, that will have a certain effect that is not at
all clear to the average person in the street. We are not qualified to judge
their actions that go against our ideas of niceness or political-correctness. We
do not know the Plan for the immediate future but it is their job to push us in
the right direction; we all know that human beings left on their own would
digress backwards into the stone age and even beyond, thus all this pushing and
chaffing in our lives and on the international stage. Some might look cruel, but
it is for our own best will.
This war of Light and Darkness, good vs. evil, jinn and
yang, is for real and as old as time itself. We must accept to face it in our
personal lives and fight it that way. If each of us triumphs over evil in his
own life, humanity as a whole will be unbeatable. It starts with ourselves and
the help we can give our brother to fight evil in his own life. Everything you
do to help another person to better himself will help the forces of light to
break through the darkness. Let your own light shine.
To what extend is the damage done by the Dark Forces on this
planet today and who are they? I came across an update on this on the internet
at: Prison Planet.com
The following article shows how a few super rich people are
running this world for their own benefit; it also helps us to make some
affiliations or distinctions between the good and evil forces on this planet
during our time.
