CHAPTER ONE: Wise Men Say:
The meeting with a representative of Damanhur was about to take place at a restaurant near Sean’s Toronto hermitage. He had done some checking on Damanhur and the co-operative communes and other efforts they were undertaking in hopes of building an ethical alternative to the paradigm. It was certainly of interest and a great kudo to be considered as worthy to join them. But Sean understood the risks and was not sure their motives were as altruistic as they appeared to be. His interviewer was someone he had crossed horns with a year earlier on the World Wide Web. Their interest in things he knew or could add to some utterly fantastic equipment was not all that exciting to him. He had heard the ramblings of this man who claimed to astrally travel and differentiate all the constructs in the ethereal world. Tony said he could tell the fake Masonic ones from the true Rabbinical or Ascended Master ones and Sean had told him he thought he should understand the Kaballah is ‘twisted’ with Intent. Intent was something they both understood and Tony had said he discovered Sean was right and had joined the ‘Right’ side of the left-hand path.
Sean had not mentioned this meeting or their supposed offer to fund and assist him to develop a variety of technology that he thought could be done, to any of his family. In fact he thought there was a good chance Tony (aka Red Dragon) was in search of power still. He had no interest in the likes of those who sought things such as you see in movies like The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp. But he had made this clear enough to Tony, so it was intriguing that they thought they might work with him. Tony had said that his reading of Sir Laurence Gardner and other books including some of Sean’s books, had disavowed him of the Dragon ways. The restaurant was crowded but they had no difficulty recognizing each other. After saying their helloes and ‘grokking’ each other, or sensing the energy each was surrounded by, they began to discuss things that Tony knew Sean would have to get past if he was to convince Sean to come to Italy with him.
“Do you think the Delphi Oracles were responsible for a quantum leap?” Tony asked with a smile that Sean could not help but like.
“Yes, social engineering and a focus on some thought or stable system has cultural impacts as Mumford showed they helped achieve - though the Athenian School and sages were more effective in that regard. But in reality the Intellectual and spiritual systems such as Michael Grant notes were the major influence through the millennium before Christ are (like the oracles) part of a more ancient tradition - so no leap occurred other than the Hellenizing plagiarization that is reflected in our propagandized history.
A more relevant exploration would be the formation that occurred in this period - of all religions now with us. Fukayama calls them 'absolute religions' and C. S. Lewis or Merton calls them 'higher religions'. The era of the 6th Century BCE and Confucius, Buddha and Zoroaster are all derived from the same people or schools of thought. These schools of thought had been reorganized by Tuthmosis in the millennium before that according to many. This is around the time of Moses/Akhenaten. But long before that, these schools helped more people find their true role in soul and with the 'collective'.
Plato observed that the advent of a writing alphabet greatly diminished the disciplined pursuit of knowledge or wisdom. Once people could simply refer to books they did not interiorize this knowledge. That occurred around the same time that Tuthmosis reorganized the Mystery Schools and was part of a Phoenician (Hyksos) plan for society as I see it.
The crux of the Kabbalists or rabbinical 'twisting' of Qabala has much to do with this in our laws, structures of society and in the ethereal world around us.”
“Oh, yes, I remember you quoting Dion Fortune on the matter of Kabbalah being ‘twisted’. It took me over a year to see how those astral or ethereal constructs of theirs were making me the ‘dupe’ of a system I thought was genuine. The really wicked thing is the Masons are running the same programs at a lower level and the Catholic and most other religions are caught up in or evolving around the same or similar constructs. I spend little time exploring astral knowledge now. I read your books Diverse Druids and The Rising Roman Empire and I am getting through the Encyclopedia; you have done a lot of work! You look like you might have been an athlete in your day, like myself.”
“You have been at Damanhur for a couple of months as I understand it. Have you said your good-byes to family and friends here?”
“Nothing is finalized as yet. I have been in one of their communes as you know. I am enjoying it but I would like to work with this project and you.” Tony replied with evident uncertainty.
“Tentyris or the ‘city of women’ sounds appealing to be sure, and I do think much of the Grail legend has to do with egalitarian models of past governance. I could enjoy such an environment but it might take away from my writing. My purpose must be connected to making a big difference if possible, it seems.”
“They can get behind your books and make the public more aware of your work. In fact you have already seen some sales have occurred within their community. It would be a lot more than that if you let them get involved.”
“Yes, one hand scratches the other, I know. I have told them I would give them the proceeds from book sales and consulting for three years during which I could see some result or outcome with the engineering projects. Money is not my concern.”
“Sean… What have you got to lose?!”
“Integrity perhaps is the word… But I do see it as a no risk situation; financially at any rate. What amount of resources are they willing to commit?”
“It is too soon to tell. I suppose they would want to see the first stage of free energy from the Pavlita generator and alterations thereto which you have suggested involving the double ankh.”
“I printed off a poem that I wrote a few years ago. Here it is… It relates to a similar offer I had about a decade ago.”
FRATER ALBERTUS MAGNUS:
He huddles over the little bowl I've been told
He expects my arrival so I am bold
I wait in a room on the ground floor
And wonder what's behind the massive door
I inspect its' symbols, carved complete
I recognize Bathomet down near my feet
Ptah's T-square and gargoyles replete
A 'spagyric' toque, a familiar eye
On top the Pyramid reaching for the sky,
And You might wonder why, am I
Here in Salt Lake City to see Frater Albertus Magnus
The leader of a worldwide group some call the 'Magus'.
He comes to greet me from downstairs
Cobwebs dangle from his hairs
His look and manner are quite welcoming
I feel almost like it's my homecoming
'Hello my son, you come, well recommended’
Before that night was therein ended
I learned the truth about 'the Stone'
Now with means and methods known
He told me of his looking into man's future
And we talked of ways that WE must nurture
The iron 'hot' to strike it, NOW!
I told him soon I'd make the' Vow’!
However, another pact I'd make
Which led my knees to ever quake
There is truth of many things
Do not worry about 'toe rings'
The twitching touches nerves complete
Can sense the earth beneath your feet
And lead you past your 'vision quest'
Make you at home on Gaia's breast
'I wish you well along your WAY!’
The door he closed, I heard him say!
No, call for elixir of youth for me
No gold from lead are NEED for me
I wait with all, the World to see
My 'vow' to join soul quite FREE
And all in all, LOVE with the 'World Mind'
For me - you might think is seldom kind!
“I think Derek would love this. He is one of the elders who I am closely connected with. So you could also make a Philosopher’s Stone?”
“I have a hard time believing they do not already have people working with the ‘Stone’. What hierarchy or level of people are you working with? Is Derek the top man?”
“Derek is not the top person and you are right to assume I am not privy to all they are working on or already have.”
“You see – that is one reason it will be difficult for me to determine my interest. I am not interested in bedding down with the various vermin who seek power and do not enable mankind.”
“That is something you will have to determine for yourself. I am pretty sure they are better than any other organization I know about.”
“Well Tony, that really is not hard to do or be…, is it? Do you know if they have had dealings with Vatican types like Father Ernetti who developed a chronovisor in league with the likes of Fermi and Werner von Braun?”
“Chronovisor? Is that something that can view time like the Philosopher’s Stone?”
“That would be my understanding.”
“Sean, if they had that and it was able to clearly see the future they would not need anyone to help them.”
“But maybe it has the same difficulty that the ‘Stone’ has. Maybe like Leonardo and Nostradamus who had difficulty interpreting such visions, they also need clarity that merely seeing something cannot provide. Have you seen Leonardo’s bike and helicopter drawings?”
“The Ambrosianus Library that has much of his work and had more of it in the past, is not far from Damanhur. I have been there and the bike is hard to explain without seeing the future is it not?”
“Yes. I think so.”
“I guess you would like some answers to some of these questions before you talk to any of the people in Italy.”
“That would be nice. I would like to know if their interest was generated by something I wrote about in People on The Path and some of my other books.”
“You mean the story about what was on your lady’s computer when you returned from Chichen Itza?”
“Yes, but don’t prompt them.”
“OK. I imagine there is more to their interest than just that. I showed them this piece of yours that I copied or printed from our discussions a year ago. I showed them a bunch of things before they got all your books.
‘MIND OVER MATTER – PROVEN:
The following quote is a review I found on Amazon.com for a book I have only read
about but seems to confirm many other things. The book is written by a former Chair of Material Sciences at Stanford and I think it fits the work of Dr. Don Robins as well as other Intelligent Design researchers we have discussed.
“Mind Over Matter -- Proven!, June 11, 2002
Reviewer: Dave Stein, Scientific Editor, Frontier Perspectives
In striking contrast with many books focused on next-generation physics, mathematics, biology, psychology, or medicine, Conscious Acts of Creation combines a brilliant theoretical model with several rigorous experiments that explore the influence of human intention on physical reality - in living as well as inanimate systems. It is in these convincing demonstrations that the principle "as above, so below" comes to life. Even more profoundly, the book establishes that repetition of the experiments in given locales can dramatically increase the power of the locales to reproduce the results - with some locales retaining their conditioning or "charge" for more than a year! These findings lend plausibility to that which mystics know as "sacred space."
A postulated theoretical model provides a launch point for interpreting the experimental results. Its major cornerstone is an eight-dimensional biconformal base space with two four-dimensional, Fourier transform related subspaces. One subspace corresponds to our everyday world, whereas the other subspace is a reciprocal or inverse "etheric" space - roughly analogous to k-space but with additional postulated properties including superluminal "velocities" (presumably in inverse units) and interchanged roles of electricity and magnetism. The model incorporates nonlocality, a scientific principle that may someday prove to be the underpinning for phenomena such as parapsychology and distant healing. Furthermore, the authors note similarities between their model and models proposed by other scientists, some highly prominent. Granted, the model becomes more speculative when it associates even higher dimensionalities with emotion, mind, and spirit. Even then, however, it remains consistent with various esoteric teachings, and it may yet provide the empowering mechanism for manifestation of intention (where the two subspaces, in some ways mutually symmetric, appear to play asymmetric roles) and in otherwise connecting science with spirit. Readers who disagree with the postulated model will nonetheless benefit from the authors' brilliant insights.
Mysticism aside, the postulated "mind over matter" mechanisms include a possible role for variation in atomic and molecular ground state energies. The observed space conditioning is discussed in the context of gauge symmetries. Rounding out the model are the insightful discussions of augmented electromagnetism (which the authors associate with Qi), inner self-management techniques such as Qi Gong and Yoga, and even the existence of two phases of liquid water. In Chapters 9 and 10, the authors become futurists as they suggest possible implications of reciprocal space engineering for medicine, pharmacology, communications, and manufacturing.
On the experimental side, the authors set the example in thoroughness and scientific rigor, although the in-depth discussion of the protocols as well as the order of topics may impact the book's readability. A mitigating factor is the brilliant introduction to gauge theory and the elucidation of several other topics including self-sustained oscillations, crystallography, and reciprocal space. In fact, the book is a mini physics course that presents various principles of electromagnetism, thermodynamics, solid-state physics, and quantum mechanics in a readable and understandable way. Also included is a brilliant discussion of enzymes, coenzymes and the electron transport chain as they relate to the experiments.
Scientists, healers, and others who investigate or work with subtle energies will appreciate the authors' insights on repeatability of experimental results. In the mainstream scientific community, replication of results is a test for credibility; yet consistent results in healing, dowsing, remote viewing, and ESP are often elusive. Armed with successful demonstrations of space conditioning, the authors shed new light on this longstanding issue - although they discuss other factors, both geocosmic and human, that can also impact repeatability of results.
Conscious Acts of Creation makes a convincing case that the powerful effects of intention and emotion can no longer be disregarded - in healing, in scientific research, or even in everyday life. The authors' findings may indeed have profound consequences for the concept of scientific "objectivity." More significantly, this book will take the reader beyond the realm of the everyday world and will expand one's view of himself or herself as a co-creator of reality. It is for this reason that Conscious Acts of Creation is essential reading - not only for scientists, engineers, and health care practitioners (both mainstream and complementary) but also for others who seek to maximize their human experiences. Conscious Acts of Creation indeed heralds and points a way ahead for ‘the emergence of a new physics.’”
“I think that was from early in our discussions when we were on good terms if I remember.”
“Yes, I am sorry about claiming you were using a power or energy probe on me. There were many things I said to you that I regret.”
“I learned a lot in those discussions and I never was angry at you. I understand the seductive nature of the constructs and powers or siddhis. I have not pursued as many of the techniques that Patanjali or the Dharma masters and tulkus or other shamans. There are many people who know more than I do about a lot of things. I do integrate them well, I suppose.”
“Sean… I’ll give you some time to think about what we have been saying and I’ll talk to Derek. Then we can talk on the phone tomorrow before I go up north to visit some family and friends. By the way – I got that large settlement that I told you about.”
“I suppose a million bucks buys a lot of freedom… Glad to hear it.”
“Yes, freedom is relative to be sure. You chose to be poor and are just as free.”
“I found my karma was impacted by being part of the materialistic world even though I never did much that I can say was unethical. Henry David Thoreau put it a way that I like when he said: ‘What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.’”
“I’ll pay the tab and look forward to doing it some more. Take all the time you need.”
“I surely will; thanks for paying the tab I hope my help has been deserving of your graciousness.”
The two large middle aged men left the restaurant and its patrons to the frolic or foolishness that wise men seek to avoid. Sean walked briskly back to the group home and its denizens who had been victimized or who some would say had been dealt a fool’s hand by Fate.
