“
Almost all people are hypnotics. The proper authority saw to it that the proper
belief should be induced, and the people believed properly.” -- Charles Fort
“
The erotic state – again, a mixture of concentration and spontaneity – is a
hypnoidal state, probably the most powerful kind that we are capable of
experiencing, and it is in this condition that unexpected regions of the self are
revealed, as the majority of people know from experience.” -- Peter Redgrove
“
You're doubtless well aware that most of the great hypnotic patients wind up
referring to themselves in the third person, like little children. They see
themselves from outside their own organisms, outside their own sensory
systems. In order to get further outside themselves, and help them escape their
physical personality, some of them, once in the state of clairvoyance, have the
curious custom of re-baptizing themselves. The dream name comes to them, no
one knows whence, and by this they INSIST on being called as long as their
luminous sleep endures – to the point of refusing to answer to any other name.” -
- Villiers de l’Isle-Adam
“
Life is ten percent what you experience and ninety percent how you respond to
it.” -- Dorothy M. Neddermeyer

Conclusion
The Illuminati

THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and
philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the
Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand
Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under
the pseudonym of “Adam Weishaupt” – the name of the Illuminati’s most
notorious Grand Master.
The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of
Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to
the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of
Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith:
Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the “Demiurge”;
an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God,
and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.
If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need
only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his
“Chosen People”, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the “God of All” entered
into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several
thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to
others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war
against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he
then despatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to
Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because
they were indelibly marked by the “Original Sin” of Adam and Eve. Only the
atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s “son”, Jesus Christ, could
wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there
was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour
were eligible for Paradise.
Of course, the Chosen People of “God” have almost entirely rejected Jesus
Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen
People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd?
Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of
this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?
Remember that this same “God” ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice
on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command,
rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to
butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly
obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical “believers”.
Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass
the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely
a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however,
you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the
message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific,
mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.
The Triune Brain

THE REASON HUMAN behaviour is so strange is that we have not one but
three brains! The three brains are incompatible and although they try to work
together, they often fail.
The “triune brain” is the hypothesis of neurologist Paul MacLean and he
proposes that evolution has adopted a policy of building more advanced brains
on top of older, more primitive brains, rather than redesigning from scratch.
So, we have the chance to be brain archaeologists and to dig down into our
evolutionary past. We can discover that there was a time when we were far from
human and much more like…crocodiles.
MacLean says of the three brains that they operate like “three interconnected
biological computers, [each] with its own special intelligence, its own
subjectivity, its own sense of time and space and its own memory.”
Brain 1-the lowest and earliest brain – is the Reptilian Brain: the brainstem
and cerebellum.
Brain 2 – the second evolutionary stratum – is the ancient Mammalian Brain:
the limbic system.
Brain 3 – the human layer – is the neo Mammalian Brain: the neocortex.
Although all of the brains are interconnected by nerves (hence can
communicate with each other) they often seem to operate autonomously as
separate brain systems with their own distinctive capacities.
In colloquial terms, a human being is like a crocodile (reptilian brainstem), a
horse (limbic system) and a computer (neocortex) all lashed together...with
almost comical consequences in many cases (or should that be tragic)?
The crocodile part of us deals with the basic survival, instinctive and
reproductive functions: the four Fs – feeding and fucking, fight or flight. (This is
the level to which men typically sink after a few drinks.)
That’s all that crocodiles do with their tiny, pea-sized brains: they fight and
feed; they flee if necessary; they reproduce. Otherwise, they’re just waiting and
watching. Paul MacLean wrote, “It is very difficult to imagine a lonelier and
more emotionally empty being than a crocodile”. (Yup, sounds like a lot of
men!)
The horse part deals with a higher F – “feelings”. This is the level women
typically operate at.
The computer part is where our reason resides. This is the level of the
philosophers, scientists and mathematicians.
In terms of characters from the original Star Trek, we might say that the most
primitive part of our brain is our inner Captain Kirk, the emotional part our Dr
McCoy and the computer part our inner Mr Spock.
In Freudian terms, the id corresponds to the crocodile brain, the ego to the
horse brain and the superego to the computer brain.
Most men don’t get much beyond the id/crocodile level of existence. They are
the knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who spend the years watching every sequel
of Fast and Furious up to F & F 500!
Few of humanity rise to the world of reason and consciousness powered by
the logic circuits of the computer brain. This highest arena is uniquely human –
no other animals have an onboard computer – and the irony is that few humans
know how to operate it. They are whizz-kids at using iPhones, but they are
clueless about using their own brains properly. They mostly use brains 1 and 2
and rarely trouble brain 3. It lies dormant and dusty in most people, like some
never-visited library containing all the knowledge of the cosmos. In fact, many
men struggle to use anything more than the crocodile brain. Their minds are
preoccupied with fucking, fighting and feasting – like the Vikings.
The computer brain, sadly, does not dominate the lower brains. The limbic
system – the seat of the emotions – usually hijacks the higher mental functions
i.e. reason is put to the service of the emotions rather than the emotions being in
the service of reason. In times of great stress or sexual excitement, the crocodile
takes charge of everything and humans become reptiles operating at the basic
instinctive level.
With this model of the brain, it becomes easy to see why humanity struggles
to reach its potential. Most people are stuck at the level of crocodile or horse,
and can’t raise themselves to the godlike, rational level of the internal
supercomputer. The attainment of gnosis requires the highest brain working at
full capacity.
In Jungian terms, the “shadow” is the crocodile brain, the “ego”, “persona”
and “anima/animus” are the limbic system and the “Self” is the computer.
Reason, not belief, makes us Gods.
The triune brain corresponds very well to the soul described by Plato almost
two and a half thousand years ago. The desiring part of the soul is the crocodile
brain (desire for food, conquest, sex and safety), the spirited part of the soul (the
thymus) is the limbic system, and the rational part of the soul is the computer
