on future generations because you now have the programmed parents and 'leaders' unknowingly working on your behalf. you will see throughout the story revealed in this book how the foundation of the global manipulation is the manipulation of the individual human mind and its view of self the veil of tears 19 and the world. the global conspiracy (with the prison warder consciousness at the apex of the pyramid) is a conspiracy to manipulate the human race's sense of self and, in doing so, the creation of its physical reality. as i say, the victim mentality creates the victim reality. today, we have a planet awash with people who have been encouraged to think of themselves as victims, hence they are. what has happened through this period of the global prison is a reflection of what is happeni

without love- the energy on which all creation exists- knowledge will always be misused. knowledge without love is the state of being which still controls the higher levels of the brotherhood network, via its global elite. it is the intellect without the heart, you could say, and without the balanced feminine. the symbols of the brotherhood in ancient times remain those of the brotherhood today- the pyramid and all-seeing eye, the swastika, the lamb, the apron, the obelisk and many others. the obelisk is symbolic of the penis of osiris, the egyptian god. the legend is that he was torn into pieces by the 'evil' set (lucifer, satan, the devil, et al) and when isis, the wife of osiris, tried to put him back together again, she found all his missing parts, except you know what. such legends a

ds of time it stands as a fitting emblem of eternity itself. who were the illumined mathematicians who planned its parts and dimensions, the master craftsmen who supervised its construction, the skilled artisans who trued its blocks of stone? the earliest and best-known account of the building of the great pyramid is that given by that highly revered but somewhat imaginative historian, herodotus "the pyramid was built in steps, battlementwise, as it is called, or, according to others, altar-wise. after laying the stones for the base, they raised the remaining stones to their places by means of machines formed of short wooden planks. the first machine raised them from the ground to the top of the first step. on this there was another machine, which received the stone upon its arrival, and c

se, they raised the remaining stones to their places by means of machines formed of short wooden planks. the first machine raised them from the ground to the top of the first step. on this there was another machine, which received the stone upon its arrival, and conveyed it to the second step, whence a third machine advanced it still higher. either they had as many machines as there were steps in the pyramid, or possibly they had but a single machine, which, being easily moved, was transferred from tier to tier as the stone rose. both accounts are given, and therefore i mention both. the upper portion of the pyramid was finished first, then the middle, and finally the part which was lowest and nearest the ground. there is an inscription in egyptian characters on the pyramid which records t

cocted a fraudulent story to conceal the true origin and purpose of the great pyramid. this is but one of several instances in his writings which would lead the thoughtful reader to suspect that herodotus himself was an initiate of the sacred schools and consequently obligated to preserve inviolate the secrets of the ancient orders. the theory advanced by herodotus and now generally accepted that the pyramid was the tomb of the pharaoh cheops cannot be substantiated. in fact, manetho, eratosthenes, and diodorus siculus all differ from herodotus--as well as from each other--regarding the name of the builder of this supreme edifice. the sepulchral vault, which, according to the lepsius law of pyramid construction, should have been finished at the same time as the monument or sooner, was neve

pon the breast of the deceased in dynastic times, we probably have a survival of the green schist amulet of predynastic times in egypt, both as regards the object with which it was made and the material. but the custom of writing hekau, or words of power, upon papyrus is almost as old as that of writing them upon stone, and we see from the inscription on the walls of the corridors and chambers of the pyramid of unas, king of egypt about b.c. 3300, that a "book with words of magical power" was buried with him. 1 elsewhere 2 we are told that the book which teta, king of egypt about b.c. 3266, had with him "hath effect upon the heart of the gods; and there is no doubt that the object of every religious text ever written on tomb, stele, amulet, coffin, papyrus, etc, was to bring the gods under

dynasty. for our present purpose, however, whatever be their exact date, they are of the greatest importance, for on the insides of the panels of some of them are painted the oldest known illustrations of certain sections of books of the dead. the texts inscribed on them contain extracts from the heliopolitan recension of the book of the dead, of which we know so much from the selections given in the pyramids of unas, teta, and other kings, but side by side with these are copies of chapters belonging to books of the dead, which seem to have been originally composed at some anterior period, and which were intended to reflect the more popular and more materialistic religious views and beliefs. among such books must be mentioned the "book of two ways" or the "two ways of the blessed dead" of

one way. at a very early period of their history the egyptians believed that the sun-god passed over the sky, which they held to be a vast watery mass, in some kind of boat; the belief in the existence of such a boat was absolutely necessary, for unless the fire of the sun was protected from contact with the water of the sky, it would, they argued, be extinguished. so far back as the period when the pyramids of giza were built, the existence of two boats was assumed; in one, called matet, the sun-god sailed from the time he rose p. 95 until noon, and in the other, called sektet, he sailed from noon to sunset. when the conception of the existence of the tuat was evolved, and the belief that the sun-god passed through it each night gained credence, it became necessary to find some means of

in egypt and the americas, but they are also significantly different in their structures. the walls of pyramids in the americas did not converge to form a true point, as they did in egypt; rather, the walls reached a certain level upon which a platform was built and often a temple erected. if atlantis did indeed fall somewhere between 8500 and 9500 b.c.e, what accounts for the long time lag until the pyramids were erected in egypt (generally dated around 2500 b.c.e) and north america (generally dated after 200 c.e? since the 1800s, atlanteans have been credited for having had the technology to generate electricity, build flying machines, and harness nuclear power for energy and warfare. all developed more than 9,000 years before such things came into being in modern society. other claims h

advocates of this idea, so sober scientists naturally turned away from it for a theory that is almost impossible to support. this was the notion that many inventions and ideas simply occurred simultaneously to widespread, isolated cultures. the flying saucer entities have allegedly contacted many people in almost every country and have immodestly claimed credit for everything from the building of the pyramids to the sinking of atlantis. erich von daniken, a swiss author, has popularized the concept that members of an extraterrestrial civilization did contact early earthlings, basing his theories on expansive misinterpretations and in several instances, deliberate misrepresentations of archaeological curiosities. von daniken seems to be totally ignorant of the work of european scholars such
