Introduction

In this book we will introduce new concepts on old mysteries. From the Illuminati to the secrets of the Holy Grail, from the Bible Code to the hidden depths of the mind and God himself. What we will discover is a thread through time and that thread is at the very heart of humanity himself.

Yes, mankind has made mysteries and myth, but it all comes from a root cause. That origin is what we are seeking in this book. The truth.

Magic, Mind, God

The great Manly P. Hall once said: To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.

Magic is key to understanding our existence and Manly P. Hall knew this. It is much more than the tricks of a children’s entertainer. Magic is all there is. In fact the word comes down to us originally from Old Persian and means ‘to have power’. Understanding true magic brings us power.

There are many things we can learn from our foray into the world of magic. Of these many things, this film will focus in on the mystical world, the magical world, the strange and wonderful. Within magic we will find reality like never before. It is the very fabric of the universe in which we live out our lives.

For us to be able to understand magic, we have to understand the science behind the fabric of existence. It is within the mind expanding complexities of quantum physics that we will discover the truth behind the secrets of magic that our ancestors searched for. Knowledge is magic and magic is powerful.

Prepare to be empowered.

Magic is the belief that the material universe is only a very minor part of all reality and that in fact it includes many other planes of existence and even consciousness. In the same way we possess consciousness and unconsciousness – both of which have their own concepts of reality – so too the Universe mirrors this and more. In the same way that we cannot access the unconscious realm of our own mind, we simply cannot access the other realities of the Universe – unless of course there is a way? And that is the realm of magic – being able to find ways of accessing other realities and affect our own. One of the other ‘realms’ or ‘realities’ of magic is known as the astral light and believers of this reality say that the cosmic fluid of the astral light can form or mold physical forms. The force that can do this is said to be human thought, human will power. The human being, existing in the microcosm can, once it understands, affect the macrocosm – the small can affect the large. We can set in motion an action in our level of reality and cause an affect in the greater reality.

All of this can sound quite potty to the mind that is not used to such concepts and like the hand of a clock we need to adjust our position a moment at a time in-order to understand that time and things change. Understanding this magical ability of the human being takes some effort and indeed, it has taken men lifetimes to come to terms with, or blow away. In essence, man discovers that he is in fact God in almost every sense of the word.

To the growing elite and occult brotherhoods magic was truly powerful. One famous 19th and early 20th century occultist was Dr Gerard Encausse otherwise known as Papus. He founded the modern group known as the Martinists, based upon an 18th century Martinist Order, a kind of New Age Christian sect. He claimed that magic was really scientific, carrying out experiments on powers and energies that were little understood at the time. He stated that magic was dangerous and that three main principles were required in its operation, namely the will power of the individual, the actual material basis and the actual force upon which the mind or will operates and affects a change in the material. This was a period seeing the rise in scientific thought overpowering the religious or spiritual and Martinists, and others such as the Rosicrucians saw a middle ground. This force, which science would discover, was known to the Jews as the OD, the astral light to others and the magnetic fluid to yet more. It was a natural composite agent, a fluid force that Eliphas Levi said would receive the vibrations of the will via meditation. It was a force acted upon by the frequency of thought. Levi stated that it was a force that illuminates the mind, vivifies and destroys, separates and coagulates – all depending upon the will of the individual. According to 17th century writer, J. B. van Helmont in his Hortus Medicine, it is a magical force, sent asleep by sin, is latent in man; it can be awakened by God or by the art of the Cabala. And what is this force? As Eliphas Levi again tells us in his History of Magic:

It has been said that this agent is a light of life by which animated beings are rendered magnetic [electromagnetic energy], electricity being only a transient perturbation. The practice of that marvelous Kabalah reposes entirely in the knowledge and use of this agent. Practical Magic alone opens the secret Temple of Nature to that power of the human will which is ever limited but ever progressive.

And yet, as with the author of Dracula, Bram Stoker, the world of this invasive dark world of magic was putting a strain on the upright Christian ethics prevalent in the West and many openly fought its influence. In The Black Mass from 1924, by J. Bricaud we find the following statement:

Today, when our society is invaded by the eroticism of the Middle Ages sorcery, the words Black Mass have last their primitive meaning… The mystic element weakening, sadism and sensualism alone remained, degenerating these last years into vulgar orgy, so-called revival of pagan ceremonies, accompanied by lewd scenes, excited by the rhythm of libidinous poetry and the intoxication of oriental perfumes.

In short, we are told that the frenzies of the sexual rites associated with the rising of these so-called powerful occult forces was vulgar to the Christian West.

In the Morning Post of January 16th, 1931, there was an interview with a certain Harry Price, the founder and director of the National Laboratory for Psychical Research, itself connected with author, Conan Doyle, stated:

Mr. Price spoke from close personal experience of the practices which he described, and among a number of other striking allegations he asserted that black magic, sorcery, and witchcraft are practiced in London of today on a scale and with a freedom undreamed of in the Middle Ages. Professors and leaders of the cults, for the most part foreigners, make use of the same formulae and incantations as the medieval necromancers. The cults are increasing and attracting interest at such a pace that they will soon assume such dimensions as to become a genuine menace to the morals and sanity of the nation… I can safely say that there are more devotees of the Black Arts in London today than ever there were in the Middle Ages.

We are told that literary groups, such as those of the Bloomsbury Set or Black Mass were full of adherents to the occult, they were also joined by people such as Conan Doyle, Ian Fleming, Bram Stoker and H. G. Wells. Harry Price also informed the Morning Post on January 19th, 1931 that the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and much of scholarly London were infested with the Black Arts, creating a kind of mass hypnotism. Emerging from these groups we find such people as Aleister Crowley, creating his own occult groups and influencing a great many writers thereafter.

There are several points of discussion in this little snapshot of history. Firstly we see Harry Price pointing out that many of those influencing the minds of British citizens were in fact foreigners and thus we have that spiritual invasion spoken of by Bram Stoker in Dracula. Then we have here the birth of subsequent revolutions such as the Sixties and Seventies hippie drug revolutions. For instance Crowley being found on the cover of The Beatles Sargent Peppers album. We are shown that sexual license and drug induced frenzies or ‘intoxication’ are supposedly leading these people on the downward path to the world of Satan.

There is nothing new in any of this, for it has been repeating for millennia. Freemasonry itself, amongst many others, claims descent ultimately from Egypt where drugs were heavily influential in the spiritual and magical life. Initiates were and still are in some cults, subjected to horrifying trials of darkness, fire, water, long fasts leading to visions. Should they survive sane then they were accepted into the fold. Hallucination was one of the prime methods in Egyptian theurgy, using opium, datura, henbane, hasheesh, cinnamon and laurel, creating vapors, which brought on the frenzy of the prophet.

But we also see that we have here two distinct opposites and very little balance. On the one side we have thoughtful, intelligent people discovering freedom from a Victorian and religious yoke, like children showing off in front of their friends. On the other side we have the parents – the Christian old-school – who are shocked at their youngsters actions and can accept nothing good in what they see.

What is the truth, now, as we stand in the 21st century looking back at these birth pangs of a free society? Well, it is not for us to state what truth is in respect of spirituality – that is the individuals choice and theirs alone. But we can see, from an historical perspective that these opposites serve nobody too well, except in raising temperatures. We must accept that drug induced sexual frenzies may well be going over the top and are simply leading the individuals towards a bio-chemical and electromagnetic reaction within the mind – heightening many things! But it may indeed also be raising frequencies to levels that do allow a certain lucidity in the mind – creating a free-flow of thought.

On the other, to stand apart from this with dogmatic eyes and say that it’s nonsense, whilst believing that a 33-year-old Jew died on a cross and then got up again 2000-years
