- 10. The Editing Of An Apostle
- An explanation as to why this phrase does not appear in the transcript is provided by the website mormonchronicle.com, as follows:
“[W]as Elder Benson reprimanded and forced to change the text of his talk — as some have suggested? The change in the official record of this talk and what was “really behind it” has been the subject of much and speculation, and has been of concern to many people ever since the official record of the talk was released by the Church. Some even wrote to Elder Benson asking him what happened. Thankfully, some of those people saved the response they received from Elder Benson, and the reason isn’t nearly as sinister as some have claimed. No, he wasn’t reprimanded and forced to change his talk; and no, there weren’t some “dark-forces” at the Church office building trying to silence the words of an Apostle. “In one of the letters he wrote concerning the subject, he said, “When I learned that we had representatives from behind the Iron Curtain at our conference, where we have over 5,000 members, I made a few minor changes in my talk of my own volition… Our Ensign magazine has worldwide distribution and it seemed the part of wisdom to make a very limited number of minor changes. I continue to encourage people to read NONE DARE CALL IT CONSPIRACY.””

- 9. Veil of Forgetfulness
- Mankind has a “veil of forgetfulness” that is requisite of this mortal state and probation in corruption, which causes not only a complete forgetfulness of everything before being born on this earth, but also greatly hampers one’s ability to perfectly retain and recall memories and learned information, and even to learn and progress without tremendous personal struggle and application — hence the apt adage “I’m only human.”
- 10. Prometheus
- Prometheus was an ancient Greek god who pitied the plight of humans. He therefore secretly stole fire from Mount Olympus and gave it to humans so that they may prosper. He was punished for doing so — he was tied to a rock and birds ate his flesh and consumed his liver for eternity.

- 14. Occam’s Razor
Occam’s razor is the law of parsimony, economy or succinctness. It is a principle urging one to select among competing hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions and thereby offers the simplest explanation of the effect…. In practice, the application of the principle often shifts the burden of proof in a discussion. The razor asserts that one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power.

- 3. Idries Shah
“Idries Shah (16 June 1924 — 23 November 1996) was an author and teacher in the Sufi tradition who wrote over three dozen critically acclaimed books on topics ranging from psychology and spirituality to travelogues and culture studies. Born in India, the descendant of a family of Afghan nobles, Shah grew up mainly in England. His early writings centered on magic and witchcraft…. His most seminal work was The Sufis, which appeared in 1964 and was well received internationally…. In his writings, Shah presented Sufism as a universal form of wisdom that predated Islam.”
- 4. Neo-Sufism: The Case of Idries Shah
“Shah has conceded his own recourse to pen names (v. "Reflections," p. 88), without divulging details; many of his disciples emulate him. Given this obfuscation, it is problematic which of the score or more queerly named authors stylistically and thematically assignable to the ‘Shah-School’ (e.g. Omar Michael Burke Ph. D., Arkon Daraul, Rafael Lefort, Hadrat B.M. Dervish and so on) have independent physical existence? Pending investigation, it perhaps suffices that none show a scintilla of independent philosophical existence.”

- 2. Astrological Age
“An astrological age is a time period which astrology postulates parallels major changes in the development of Earth’s inhabitants, particularly relating to culture, society and politics. There are twelve astrological ages corresponding to the twelve zodiacal signs in western astrology. At the completion of one cycle of twelve astrological ages, the cycle repeats itself. Astrological ages occur because of a phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes. One complete period of this precession is called a Great Year or Platonic Year of about 25,920 years.
“There are two broad approaches about the effects upon the world due to the astrological ages. Some astrologers believe the changes upon Earth are caused and marked by the influences of the given astrological sign, associated with the Age, while other astrologers do not follow the causative model and believe it is a matter of synchronicity.
“Many astrologers believe that the Age of Aquarius has arrived recently or will arrive in the near future… Despite all references provided by various sources, astrologers cannot agree upon exact dates for the beginning or ending of the ages.”

“The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.”
Jeremiah 18:1-6

- 8. Origen
“Origen, or Origen Adamantius (184/185 — 253/254), was an early Christian Alexandrian scholar and theologian, and one of the most distinguished writers of the early Church… Origen excelled in multiple branches of theological scholarship, including textual criticism, biblical interpretation, philosophical theology, preaching, and spirituality. Some of his teachings, however, quickly became controversial. Notably, he frequently referred to his hypothesis of the pre- existence of souls.
“As in the beginning all intelligent beings were united to God, Origen also held out the possibility, though he did not assert so definitively, that in the end all beings, perhaps even the arch-fiend Satan, would be reconciled to God in what is called the apokatastasis (“restitution”). Origen’s views on the Trinity, in which he saw the Son of God as subordinate to God the Father, became controversial during the Arian controversy of the fourth century, though a subordinationist view was common among the ante-Nicene Fathers. A group who came to be known as Origenists, and who firmly believed in the preexistence of souls and the apokatastasis, were declared anathema [i.e. detested, loathed] in the 6th century.”

- 1. William Walker Atkinson
“William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 — November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is also known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. Due in part to Atkinson’s intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who’s Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications—and having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900.”

On this note, a number of the most celebrated authors of popular fiction (especially science fiction) are mystery school initiates. Their careers are artificially bolstered and vaulted through excessive marketing, rigged awards, contrived acclaim for their oft-mediocre work, as well as manipulated sales figures. I touch more upon these matters in Part 5 of this book.

- 1. The Kolob Theorem by Lynn M. Hilton
Download the Book: PDF (880 KB)
The earth currently exists in a Telestial kingdom. The best of the best of what the earth has to offer in its present state would be the equivalent of what those who inherit the Telestial Kingdom will be granted — which, by comparison to the rewards of the two higher kingdoms, would be the light of tiny stars compared to the light of the full moon, or the light of the sun.
For an incredible theoretical treatise on what physically constitutes these kingdoms, and where they are likely to be positioned within the galaxy, I strongly recommend Lynn M. Hilton’s fascinating book “The Kolob Theorem.” It is available for free distribution in PDF form. I’ve included a copy of the PDF, above. As I intend my book to be an eye-opener to the hidden things of darkness, Dr. Hilton’s book is an eye-opener to the nature of the galaxy from an eternal perspective, as well as how and where these three kingdoms of glory factor into it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Download the Image: JPG (168 KB)
“Snakes and Ladders originated in India as part of a family of dice board games, including pachisi (present-day Ludo). It was known as moksha pAtam or vaikunthapaali or paramapada sopaanam (the ladder to salvation). The game made its way to England and was sold as Snakes and Ladders… the basic concept was introduced in the United States as Chutes and Ladders by game pioneer Milton Bradley in 1943… [T]he game was popular in ancient India and emphasized the role of fate or karma. A Jain version, Gyanbazi, dates to the 16th century. The game was called Leela and reflected the Hinduism consciousness surrounding everyday life. The underlying ideals of the game inspired a newer version to be introduced in Victorian England in 1892… The number of ladders was less than the number of snakes as a reminder that a path of good is much more difficult to tread than a path of sins.”

“Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (August 1831 — May 1891) was a theosophist, writer and traveler… Well-known and controversial during her life, Blavatsky was influential on spiritualism and related subcultures: ‘The western esoteric tradition has no more important figure in modern times.’… In 1875 Blavatsky, together with Colonel H. S. Olcott, established the Theosophical Society… “One of the central philosophical tenets promoted by the Society was the complex doctrine of The Intelligent Evolution of All Existence… According to this view, Humanity’s evolution on Earth (and beyond) is part of the overall Cosmic evolution. It is overseen by a hidden Spiritual Hierarchy, the so-called Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, whose upper echelons consist of advanced spiritual beings. [Ed. note: i.e. Lucifer and his banished minions, desperate to deceive and defraud mankind of its divine origins and eternal destiny.]
“Blavatsky portrayed the Theosophical Society as being part of one of many attempts throughout the millennia by this hidden Hierarchy to guide humanity — in concert with the overall Intelligent Cosmic Evolutionary scheme — towards its ultimate, immutable evolutionary objective: the attainment of perfection and the conscious, willing participation in the evolutionary process. [Ed. note: i.e. implement the plan which Lucifer set forth in the pre-existence]”

- Do not conclude that I am attempting to cast a shadow on some of these people or their contributions merely because they believe in reincarnation. Many of them I admire. I am listing them because their words validate that, despite the fact that some did wonderful works in life, they fell prey to either wholeheartedly believing or embracing aspects of this abominable doctrine.

- 14. Albert Schweitzer
“Albert Schweitzer OM (14 January 1875 — 4 September 1965) was a German and then French theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary… Schweitzer, a Lutheran, challenged both the secular view of Jesus as depicted by historical-critical methodology current at his time in certain academic circles, as well as the traditional Christian view. He depicted Jesus as one who literally believed the end of the world was coming in his own lifetime and believed himself to be a world savior. He received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of "Reverence for Life"… Schweitzer’s passionate quest was to discover a universal ethical philosophy, anchored in a universal reality, and make it directly available to all of humanity.”

- 5. Shi’ah
“Shia Islam is the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shi’is, Shi’ites, or Shias… Like other schools of thought in Islam, Shia Islam is based on the teachings of the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. In contrast to other schools of thought, the Shia believe that only God has the right to choose a representative to safeguard Islam, the Quran and sharia (based upon verses in the Quran which stipulate this according to the Shia). For this reason, the Shias look to Ali, whom they consider divinely appointed, as the rightful successor to Muhammad, and the first imam. The Shia believe that there are numerous narrations where Muhammad selected Ali as his successor…
“Although there were several Shia branches through history, modern Shia Islam is divided into three main branches. The largest Shia sect in the early 21st century is the Ithna ashariyya, commonly referred to in English as the Twelvers, while smaller branches include the Ismaili and Zaidi.”

“[R]umors of adultery, homosexuality, unauthorized polygamy, and the performance of abortions emerged [implicating Bennett]. While Bennett was mayor, he was caught in private sexual relations with women in the city. He told the women that the practice, which he termed ‘spiritual wifery,’ was sanctioned of God and Joseph Smith, and that Joseph Smith did the same. When discovered, he privately confessed his crimes, produced an affidavit that Joseph Smith had no part in his adultery and was disciplined accordingly. Although he vowed to change, he continued his behavior. When he was caught again, his indiscretions were publicly exposed and he was removed from his church positions, excommunicated from the church and stripped of public office. “He soon became a bitter antagonist of Joseph Smith and the Latter Day Saint church, reportedly even vowing to drink the blood of Joseph Smith, Jr. In 1842, he wrote a scathing exposé of Joseph Smith, entitled History of the Saints, accusing Smith and his church of crimes such as treason, conspiracy to commit murder, prostitution, and adultery. Through his newspaper writings and book, Bennett appeared to encourage Missouri’s June 1843 attempt to extradite Smith to stand trial for ‘treason.’”

“Yes, Jim died in April; Bonnie is bedfast since an accident in which their car was sabotaged several years ago. “I had named those men in the manuscript, but the names were removed before publication. [Ed. note: Huntington House refused to publish unless the names were removed.] They were: King of Denmark, [Former U.S. President Harry S.] Truman (zealous Mason); [Former U.S. President Dwight D.] Eisenhower (non-Mason); Billy Graham; Norman Vincent Peale (zealous Mason); Daniel Polling; and, I‘m sorry to say, J. Edgar Hoover. “I have a file on Graham in my office, but not with me. Jim said he was a 33º Mason; he publicly endorsed Order of Demo [Ed. note: i.e. Order of DeMolay, the Masonic organization for young men under 21] and he is known to have attended 2 Scottish-Rite Maundy Thursday black communions. I became convinced that he is a Mason when I wrote and asked him; all I got was an elaborate non-answer.”

The Peasants’ Revolt, Wat Tyler’s Rebellion, or the Great Rising of 1381 was one of a number of popular revolts in late medieval Europe and is a major event in the history of England. Tyler’s Rebellion was not only the most extreme and widespread insurrection in English history but also the best-documented popular rebellion to have occurred during medieval times. The names of some of its leaders, John Ball, Wat Tyler and Jack Straw, are still familiar in popular culture, although little is known of them.

Count Alessandro di Cagliostro (2 June 1743 – 26 August 1795) was the alias of the occultist Giuseppe Balsamo… The history of Cagliostro is shrouded in rumour, propaganda, and mysticism. Some effort was expended to ascertain his true identity when he was arrested because of possible participation in the Affair of the Diamond Necklace… Cagliostro himself stated during the trial following the Affair of the Diamond Necklace that he had been born of Christians of noble birth but abandoned as an orphan upon the island of Malta. He claimed to have traveled as a child to Medina, Mecca, and Cairo and upon return to Malta to have been admitted to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta [a.k.a. The Knights of Malta], with whom he studied alchemy, the Kabbalah, and magic.
- 2. The Count of St. Germain
The Count of St. Germain (born 1712?; died 27 February 1784) has been variously described as a courtier, adventurer, charlatan, inventor, alchemist, pianist, violinist and an amateur composer. He achieved great prominence in European high society of the mid-1700s, and since then various scholars have linked him to mysticism, occultism, secret societies, and various conspiracy theories… The scarcity of contemporary biographical detail about St. Germain (alongside his own apparent self-mythologising) has supported the construction of many versions of his origins and ancestry…
- 3. Louis Claude de Saint-Martin
Louis Claude de Saint-Martin (January 18, 1743 – 14 October 1803) was a French philosopher [and]… a preacher of mysticism. His conversational powers made him welcome in Parisian salons; but his zeal led him to England, where he made the acquaintance of William Law, the English mystic… Admirers of his works formed groups of Friends of St Martin which later became known as Martinists. They were influential on the formation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [of which Aleister Crowley was a prominent member, and which in turn inspired the core tenets of contemporary occult practices of Wicca and Thelema].
- 4. Hiram Abiff
Hiram Abiff is a character who figures prominently in an allegorical play that is presented during the third degree of Craft Freemasonry. In this play, Hiram is presented as being the chief architect of King Solomon’s Temple, who is murdered by three ruffians during an unsuccessful attempt to force him to divulge the Master Masons’ secret password. It is explained in the lecture that follows this play that the story is a lesson in fidelity to one’s word, and in the brevity of life.

A Knights Templar martyr highly celebrated in Freemasonry. The Masonic youth establishment for boys under age 21 is named after him. “Jacques de Molay (c. 1240/1250 – 18 March 1314) was the 23rd and last Grand Master of the Knights Templar… Though little is known of his actual life and deeds except for his last years as Grand Master, he is the best known Templar… [King Philip IV of France] had him slowly burned upon a scaffold on an island in the River Seine in Paris, in March 1314.”
- 4. Baphomet

Presumed founder of the Rosicrucian Order, or the Society of the Rose Cross. “After his journey to the East and after forming the first Rosicrucian cell, [Father CRC (Christian of the Rose Cross)] chose to present some of the Rosicrucian concepts in the context of the dominant religion of his time, Christianity…”

- 1. Paracelsus
Paracelsus (born 11 November or 17 December 1493 – 24 September 1541) was a German-Swiss Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist. "Paracelsus", meaning "equal to or greater than Celsus", refers to the Roman encyclopedist Aulus Cornelius Celsus from the 1st century, known for his tract on medicine. He is also credited for giving zinc its name, calling it zincum, and is regarded as the first systematic botanist.

- 1. Fama Fraternitatis
[A] Rosicrucian manifesto published in 1614 in Kassel (Germany)… [under the title of] Generale Riforma dell’ Universo (The Universal Reformation of Mankind)… The Fama tells the story of the "Father C.R." (later on C.R.C., the mythical Alchemist Christian Rosenkreuz) and his ill-fated pilgrimage to Jerusalem; his subsequent tutelage by the secret sages of the east, the wise men of Damcar in Arabia, from whom he learned the ancient esoteric knowledge which included the study of physics, mathematics, magic and kabbalah; his return through Egypt and Fes, and his presence among the alumbrados in Spain. It is thought in occultism that Rosenkreuz’s pilgrimage seems to refer to transmutation steps of the Great Work.
- 2. Confessio Fraternitatis
“[T]he second anonymous manifesto, of a trio of Rosicrucian pamphlets, declaring the existence of a secret brotherhood of alchemists and sages who were interpreted, by the society of those times, to be preparing to transform the political and intellectual landscape of Europe… The Confessio is a breviary about "the true Philosophy", it completes the earlier manifesto (Fama Fraternitatis, 1614) and in some way it comes to justify it, defending it from the voices and accusations already launched to the mysterious Brothers of the "Fraternity of the Rose Cross"… Its author remains anonymous. Many historical figures have been attributed its authorship, including Francis Bacon.”

- 1. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP)
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) was a region-level dialogue with the stated purpose of providing greater cooperation on security and economic issues. The Partnership was founded in Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005 by Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada, Vicente Fox, President of Mexico, and George W. Bush, President of the United States… In 2006, CNN anchor Lou Dobbs [Ed. note: who is an outspoken critic of failed US/Mexican border security] argued that the SPP was part of a plan to merge the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a North American Union similar to the European Union. Dobbs claimed at the time that US President Bush [wished to] bypass Congress and ultimately create a Union based on a Texas highway corridor. [Ed. note: this massive superhighway, connecting Mexico to the US through Texas (often referred to as the ‘NAFTA superhighway’), has been under constant development and expansion.]… Since August 2009 it is no longer an active initiative of any of the original dialogue partners… [However] On February 4, 2011, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and US President Barack Obama announced a new security and prosperity initiative. In it they planned to “to pursue a perimeter approach to security” “in ways that support economic competitiveness, job creation, and prosperity.”

- 2. Woodrow Wilson Quote
There is a quote purportedly by Woodrow Wilson that circulates many websites critical of the Federal Reserve, supposedly having been stated or written by Wilson some time after its creation. It reads as thus: “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” Unfortunately, this quote is not legitimate. It was somehow constructed by combining sections of two separate speeches that Wilson had given during his campaign in 1911. They were recorded in a book titled The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People, published in 1913. The accurate and contextual statements by Wilson are as follows:
“A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom.” (from page 185)
“We are at the parting of the ways. We have, not one or two or three, but many, established and formidable monopolies in the United States. We have, not one or two, but many, fields of endeavor into which it is difficult, if not impossible, for the independent man to enter. We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world — no longer a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.” (from page 201)
These statements were delivered by Wilson two years before becoming president, and before signing the Federal Reserve Act into law. The purported quote, “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.” appears to be pure fabrication. Wilson apparently never lamented his role in signing the Federal Reserve Act.
