ALICE A BAILEY24 A TREATISE ON THE SEVEN RAYS VOLUME V THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS

trol, the growth of true understanding is prevented, distorted or stunted. curiously enough, the intention of the dictating agents, in both the catholic church and in russia, is basically good; they believe that the uneducated masses are not fitted to decide for themselves what they should hear, think or decide; they must therefore be protected in the one case by decrees and prohibitions from the vatican (via the organised priesthood) as to right attitude and right action to be followed without questioning; and in the other, by withholding the truth as to events and happenings. but men are awakening everywhere and given some sound leadership, which at present is not to be found in any country in the world they can be trusted to swing the tide into a great harmonising and unifying movement

and aims. italy also is influenced by the ray of harmony through conflict because her personality or material expression is conditioned by this ray. during the world war, italy had a king, a dictator, and a pope, and this produced a vortex of conflict in the highly intelligent italian people. the dictator is no longer there; the monarchy has also disappeared, and only the continuing voice of the vatican is left, but curiously enough receives less attention in italy than in the other catholic countries. conflict during the centuries has done much for the italian people, and their highly extraverted psychology has produced in them a balance which may prove most promising in the future. the conflict of thought through which they have passed during the past one hundred years has worked well f

where the freemasons' rituals and oaths come from. their rituals play out the story and death of hiram abif, baring their breast with their trouser legs rolled up to bare their knees.5 the story of hiram abif is a fantasy. the freemasonic thought police have made great play of the ancient links with the building of king solomon's temple in jerusalem. they have turned it into something akin to the vatican- and then some. but the bible from which the figure of hiram was taken, describes a very different man. first of all his name was simply hiram. the addition of abif came from the pyramid power 185 founders of masonic myth. abif 's a miff, you might say. and what does the bible say about this man? does it say that he was "the most accomplished mason on earth, as the freemasons claim? not qu

tem. it has its members in all parties and countries and they cooperate for their common aims. to them borders and countries do not exist, except as a means to play one side against another. two significant names found on the p2 membership list were the financiers, roberto calvi and michele sindona. it was while investigating the fake kidnapping of sindona and his work as financial advisor to the vatican and the mafia that the police uncovered gelli's p2 scandal. the roman catholic church had long outlawed freemasonry within its ranks, although many of its clergy and officials are members. during the period of gelli, however, when official vatican hostility to freemasonry was significantly reduced, the p2 lodge took over the papal state through the infiltration by gelli, calvi, and sindona

alvi, and sindona. the pope through these years of p2 infiltration was pope paul vi and it was he who reduced the opposition to freemasonry within the roman catholic church. interestingly, a canadian publisher, daniel scallen, employed the pinkerton detective agency of new york to investigate the pope's behaviour. a detective went to rome in 1973 and reported that there were two pope pauls in the vatican! he reckoned that plastic surgery had been used to make an impostor resemble the pope. when you see different close-up pictures of the pope from this time, it is certainly feasible. there do appear to be distinct differences. tapes of the pope's speeches at christmas and easter were analysed by the fbi and found to be the voices of different people. during his investigations, the pope's ni

up pictures of the pope from this time, it is certainly feasible. there do appear to be distinct differences. tapes of the pope's speeches at christmas and easter were analysed by the fbi and found to be the voices of different people. during his investigations, the pope's niece admitted to the detective that there was indeed an impostor, and his family (who visited the real pope regularly at the vatican) was aware of this, she said. the investigation ended when the detective was arrested in rome and sentenced to four years in prison. he was later deported and then 'disappeared. there were some who found it far-fetched when i said in the robots' rebellion that look-alikes were used for some public figures. it isn't, you know. it has now been shown that the saddam hussein we saw after the g

elieve applied pressure on the roman catholic hierarchy to tone down its opposition to freemasonry. he was also named, in another investigation by david yallop called in god's name, as a prime suspect in the murder of pope john paul i, who died after only 33 days in office in 1978. this pope perhaps knew something of what was going on, both in terms of freemasonry infiltration and the stealing of vatican wealth. the 'christian' wing of the all-seeing eye cult wants to infiltrate and destroy christianity in the same way its jewish membership are working to undermine judaism. maybe pope john paul i pyramid power 191 was determined to act to bring an end to the manipulation, although others say he was an illuminati pope. anyway, he was found dead, murdered by agents of p2, and this was covere

et of the cia. cardinal villot himself died in 1979 before the p2 story was exposed. in the period leading up to his death, he said that he would reveal the story of the pope's demise, but he never did. the doctors who were allowed to examine villot gave the cause of death as bronchialpneumonia .sorry, kidney trouble .no, hold on, hepatitis .no, er, internal haemorrhage. remind me not to call the vatican if i ever need a doctor. michele sindona, the p2 member, financial swindler, money launderer, and later convicted murderer, became involved with the vatican bank, l'istituto per le opere di religione (ior) and introduced his partner, roberto calvi, to the bank's chief, bishop paul marcinkus. calvi had his own bank, ambrosiano, in which the vatican bank became a major shareholder, thanks to

religione (ior) and introduced his partner, roberto calvi, to the bank's chief, bishop paul marcinkus. calvi had his own bank, ambrosiano, in which the vatican bank became a major shareholder, thanks to the freemasonic connections and gelli's close relationship with the top officials and the pope. a massive fraud ensued and when banco ambrosiano collapsed in 1982, it had debts of 800,000,000. the vatican bank paid creditors 164,000,000 which created a cash crisis for the roman catholic church, similar to the one faced by the protestant church of england in more recent years. roberto calvi, who became known, as did sindona, as 'god's banker, fled to austria and then england, where he arrived on june 15th 1982. two days later his secretary, graziella corrocher, who kept the books for p2 'fel

usefulness. it would be nice to think that the p2 scandal was an isolated case, but i do not believe that to be so. yet to be uncovered in most countries (certainly in the most influential ones) are, i have no doubt, similar cells of elite freemasons creating and controlling a state within a state. i do not accept, either, that even the p2 has ceased to exist, nor that the elite's control of the vatican has been purged. one other point is the name itself, p2. that indicates that somewhere there must be a p1. but where? almost certainly the united states, or the united kingdom, possibly both. the knights of malta during the period of the crusades in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries when the pope tried to remove the muslims from jerusalem, a number of 'knights' orders emerged. they incl

ct. once more we see how the knights of malta cross-reference with the other pieces in the puzzle, including the media. william f. buckley, the publisher and oilman, is a member of the skull and bones society, the council on foreign relations, and the knights of malta. frank shakespeare, another knight, was president of cbs television, vice-chairman of rko, and the united states ambassador to the vatican. shakespeare has also served on the elite-controlled heritage foundation under the ultra-right chairmanship of paul weyrich. this has links to the habsburg family, one of the driving forces behind the pan european movement which led to the european community, and a key family within the global elite. the social historian stephen birmingham says "the knights of malta comprise what is perhap

ces behind the pan european movement which led to the european community, and a key family within the global elite. the social historian stephen birmingham says "the knights of malta comprise what is perhaps the most exclusive club on earth. they are more than the catholic aristocracy [they] can pick up the telephone and chat with the pope".13 i would go further than that and say they control the vatican in league with other elite elements and, far from being the catholic aristocracy, they are not even catholic. this is only a cover for their activities and they worship a very different version of 'god, the luciferic consciousness symbolised by the pyramid and all- seeing eye. the vatican was controlled by the elite via the knights of malta before gelli's p2 got involved. indeed, gelli was

of the cases have been given what might be thought of as a thorough investigation. possibly the most spectacular modern case of a bleeding statue occurred in akita, japan, where a statue of the virgin mary wept, perspired, and bled from the right hand in what appeared to be a cross-shaped wound. this case passed a rigorous investigation by local scientists, the local diocesan authorities, and the vatican. the phenomena were associated with the stigmata and three apparitions of the virgin mary received by a deaf japanese roman catholic nun, sister agnes sasagawa. skeptics such as joe nickell have suggested that many of the bleeding statues and pictures are due to conscious hoaxing and point to two prominent early cases as evidence. in the 1850s a picture of jesus that bled belonged to rose

as the most spectacular occurrences relative to the reported modern appearances of the virgin mary. the catholics who witnessed it were transformed into devout practitioners of their faith and firm believers that the virgin mary had indeed appeared. fatima has since become one of the most important shrines in roman catholicism. pope paul vi put his stamp of authority on it by mentioning it during vatican ii and with a papal visit encyclopedia of occultism& parapsychology. 5th ed. fatima 549 and meeting with lucia on the 50th anniversary of the apparitions in 1957. in 1982, pope john paul ii also visited fatima, and two years later in rome again consecrated russia to the immaculate heart. pope john paul s faith in the fatima revelations appears to be partially tied to the assassination atte

GLOBAL FREEMASONRY

kabbalah began to attract a number of philosophers. so, in the fifteenth century, a current of humanism began that left an indelible mark on the european world of ideas. this connection between humanism and the kabbalah has been emphasized in several sources. one of these sources is the book of the famous author malachi martin entitled the keys of this blood. martin is professor of history at the vatican's pontifical bible institute. he says that the influence of the kabbalah can be clearly observed among the humanists: in this unaccustomed climate of uncertainty and challenge that came to mark early-renaissance italy, there arose a network of humanist associations with aspirations to escape the overall control of that established order. given aspirations like that, these associations had

the former mayor of new york) and a mysterious woman named maria would all help in putting the pieces together of a larger more sinister puzzle. although still incomplete, the small pieces of the puzzle i uncovered in the 1980s all lead to direct involvement of members of the illuminati/freemasons, through groups like "p due, the prieure du sion and others, as well as the deep involvement of the vatican, the hub and centerpiece of this secret worldwide organization known to the public as the illuminati but known by members as "the family or the order" after writing several stories about the vatican bank scandal and traveling to london on the calvi story, finding very little new evidence, i didn't give much thought to the illuminati and child sacrificing until about a year later when i was

g out of my mind until a strikingly beautiful, black-haired italian woman in her late 20s, named maria, asked if she could join me at my via veneto outdoor table. rome is a small town, like i mentioned, later learning maria desperately wanted an outlet to tell her incredible story, finding out through street talk that i was an american journalist researching stories about secret societies and the vatican's involvement. maria prefaced her story by saying she cold never reveal her full name, saying it meant an immediate death sentence for both of us if her identity hit newsstands, linking her to what she called "the chosen ones" or the illuminati. i, on the other hand, remember feeling like i might be dealing with a quack or a mental patient, especially after she graphically explained how in

to maria on three occasions taking copious notes for total of about five hours at the same outside cafe during a three-week time span before learning through a mutual acquaintance about a month after our last meeting, she finally succeeded in committing suicide. this time, however, she didn't sit in her bathtub with flowers, deciding instead to make a public display, jumping from the roof of the vatican in the early morning hours after hurling her body to the concrete of st. peter's square (piazza san pietro) after standing beside the statue of st. peter. although i tried in vane to get her real identity, stories of the strange suicide were verified but, at the same time, covered up as her identity mysteriously disappeared from the face of the earth as did any possibility of selling my st

d any possibility of selling my story. more than twenty years have passed but i can still hear her words and see maria's distraught face, sitting across from me at the via veneto cafe like it was yesterday. to the best of my recollection, these are the most important parts of her story of being recruited from birth by the illuminati, a story that essentially died when maria hurled herself off the vatican roof "i can never tell you my name and only come to you as a last resort" were maria's first words, as she appeared agitated and uncertain she was doing the right thing. in italian she then said something like "may i rot in hell if i violated her trust" and i remember feeling as if someone just pointed a gun at my head. coming from an aristocratic northern italian background, she continued
