Key Takeaways

1. The Big Question: Rediscovering Our True Identity

What we really need to know – the Big Question – is who we really are and what we are doing here in this period of fantastic change and transformation on Planet Earth.

Beyond the physical. Humanity's most crucial quest is to understand our true nature, which extends far beyond our physical bodies. We are eternal consciousness, spirit, or mind, inhabiting a physical vehicle for a single lifetime on this planet. What we call "death" is merely our consciousness leaving the body to continue its endless journey of evolution.

Eternal consciousness. All of Creation is the same energy-consciousness, differing only in its level of evolution and vibrational frequency. The force we call 'God' is the One Consciousness, the Source, from which everything originates, and we are all interconnected droplets in this vast ocean. Our minds live forever, moving to different wavelengths of existence after physical death, much like tuning a radio to a different station.

Higher memory. Humanity has lost contact with its higher memory, the part of us that knows the "Big Answers." This spiritual amnesia has led us down a dark path, but the information to restore these links already exists, though it has been suppressed due to its catastrophic implications for established systems like religion, science, and politics.

2. Humanity as Programmed Robots

We are a race of robots. By that, I mean that most people do not have a thought in their heads that has not been put there by someone or something else.

Programmed minds. Billions of people have been programmed to forget their true identity, origin, and purpose. This programming comes through a constant "drip, drip, drip of lies and misinformation" from political systems, media, religion, schools, and universities.

Loss of connection. During incarnation, only part of our consciousness (the lower self) enters the physical body, while the higher self acts as a guide. However, humanity has been encouraged to disconnect from this "Mission Control," making us vulnerable to external thought patterns and illusions. This leaves us dominated by information from our physical senses, easily controlled by misguided forces.

Collective amnesia. This spiritual amnesia has turned humanity into a form of robot, accepting beliefs and actions dictated by others. The "Hundredth Monkey Syndrome" illustrates how collective thought patterns influence individuals; negative patterns transmitted by controlling forces have become deeply ingrained in the human collective mind.

3. The Luciferic Consciousness: A Force of Disharmony

Lucifer feeds off negative energy and the more of that that he can generate, the stronger and more powerful he becomes.

Imbalanced consciousness. A highly imbalanced aspect of consciousness, termed "Lucifer," chose to challenge the laws of Creation, which are founded on balance and harmony. This entity, dominated by negative and male energy, seeks to disrupt harmony and impose its imbalance on others, violating the universal law of free will.

Feeding on negativity. Luciferic consciousness generates and thrives on negative energy, such as anger, aggression, conflict, fear, and suffering. Its thought patterns are broadcast into the collective mind, affecting vast areas of other consciousness and making them susceptible to its influence, often without individuals realizing the external origin of their thoughts.

Targeting Earth. Humanity, with its enormous capacity for love and compassion, became a target. The collective human consciousness, along with other universal civilizations, agreed to offer Luciferic consciousness an opportunity to rebalance. However, this entity instead sought to take over, leading to a struggle between harmony and disharmony that has profoundly affected Earth's evolution.

4. The Suppression of Spiritual Truths

The manipulators do not want us to know that we are eternal beings of light and love with limitless potential; nor that we can change the world by changing the way we think; and certainly not that we are all One, all equal parts of the same whole, on a journey of evolution through experience.

Hidden knowledge. The true nature of our eternal, multi-dimensional consciousness, reincarnation, and the power of thought to create reality has been systematically suppressed. This knowledge, if widely known, would dismantle the control structures of religion, establishment science, and the economic-political system.

De-linking from higher self. The aim of these manipulators is to disconnect our conscious level from our higher self, trapping Earth consciousness in the dense physical world. This makes people easier to control, as they forget their limitless potential and their interconnectedness.

Consequences of ignorance. This suppression has led to humanity believing absurdities, committing atrocities, and being imprisoned in dogmas that deny our spiritual essence. The manipulators know these truths but actively ridicule and repress any information that challenges their narrative of humanity as cosmic accidents.

5. The Brotherhood's Ancient Web of Control

What I most strongly contend, however, is that from now onwards there was a gradual takeover of the Brotherhood initiation process, until it became an overwhelmingly negative influence on humanity and an enormously effective vehicle for the Luciferic consciousness.

Infiltration and expansion. From ancient Sumer and Egypt, a network of secret societies, collectively called the Brotherhood (or Illuminati), began to infiltrate and manipulate human affairs. Initially, some societies passed on spiritual knowledge, but they were gradually taken over by negative intent, twisting truths to serve an agenda of world control.

Hierarchical manipulation. These societies, like Freemasonry, operate with strict hierarchical initiations where lower-level members are unaware of the true agenda of the elite. This allows a few at the top to use the majority as a "show army" or a respectable front, while secretly pursuing their "Great Work of Ages"—global domination.

Behind the scenes. The Brotherhood has orchestrated major historical events, including revolutions and wars, by manipulating both sides of conflicts. They control key institutions like central banks, intelligence agencies, and media, ensuring that their agenda for a "New World Order" progresses, often by creating chaos to justify centralized control.

6. Religion: A Tool for Division and Domination

The judgmental god so widely quoted in the Old Testament and other ancient texts, who threatens to bring horrors upon human beings if they don’t do as he tells them, merely reflects the attitudes of the negative ETs or channelled entities.

Myth recycling. Major religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are built on recycled pagan myths, symbolic stories taken literally, and communications from non-physical entities or extra-terrestrials mistaken for God. These narratives have been twisted to instill fear, guilt, and prejudice, serving as powerful tools for control.

Imposition and conflict. Religious dogma has been imposed through violence, torture, and genocide, suppressing free thought and creating endless conflict. The "chosen people" narrative, the concept of a "saviour-god," and the justification of atrocities in God's name are recurring themes used to divide and rule humanity.

Spiritual fascism. In their extreme forms, religions amount to spiritual fascism, demanding blind obedience and rejecting alternative views. This has led to centuries of mental and spiritual imprisonment, hindering human evolution and perpetuating cycles of vengeance and suffering.

7. The Economic System: Engineered for Enslavement

By this simple means you can put governments and people into so much manufactured debt that they become pawns which you can move around the board at will.

Debt and control. The world's economic system, controlled by Brotherhood bankers (e.g., Rothschilds, Rockefellers), is designed to create debt and dependence. Banks literally invent money, lend it at interest, and use this manufactured debt to manipulate governments and populations.

"Take, make, throwaway." The obsession with "economic growth" and constant consumption is a suicidal path, devastating the planet and turning people into "robots" of the machine age. This system prioritizes profit over human well-being, leading to:

  • Environmental destruction
  • Mass unemployment
  • Exploitation of the poor
  • Increased crime and disease

Engineered collapse. The Brotherhood aims to engineer a global economic collapse to justify the introduction of a world central bank, a single currency, and a cashless society based on personal microchips. This is a deliberate strategy to centralize power and further enslave humanity.

8. Science: A Materialist Dogma Serving the System

The Brotherhood, at the highest human level, made a definite decision to support the myth that there is no such thing as spirit or an eternal self.

Suppression of truth. Mainstream science, often funded and controlled by the Brotherhood, actively suppresses knowledge of non-physical realities and eternal consciousness. It promotes a materialist worldview, dismissing anything beyond the five senses as myth, thereby reinforcing the idea that humans are mere "cosmic accidents."

System-led research. "Public" science is largely system-led, with research geared towards weapons development or technologies that serve the "take, make, throwaway" economic model. This narrow focus ignores the true causes of illness and environmental degradation, which often stem from imbalances on non-physical levels.

Hidden advancements. While public science remains primitive in many areas, Brotherhood scientists possess highly advanced, suppressed technologies. These include:

  • Free energy systems
  • Anti-gravity propulsion (UFO-like craft)
  • Time travel capabilities
  • Mind control techniques (brain implants, electromagnetic pulses)
    This hidden knowledge is used to maintain control and further the New World Order agenda.

9. The New World Order: Blueprint for Global Dictatorship

The Illuminati want to manipulate you into giving them authoritarian powers, and once that has occured an extreme, and I can’t stress enough the word extreme, fascist government will be imposed across the world.

Centralized control. The Illuminati's "Great Work of Ages" culminates in a New World Order: a global dictatorship with a world government, central bank, single currency, and a world army. This agenda is advanced through front organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, and the United Nations.

Engineered chaos. Conflicts, economic crises, and social unrest are deliberately orchestrated to exhaust humanity, making people desperate for "peace" and willing to accept centralized authority. The media, largely controlled by the Brotherhood, plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion and promoting this narrative.

Totalitarian future. The ultimate goal is to turn people into literal robots through microchip implants and advanced mind-control technologies. This "womb to tomb" plan aims for total surveillance and control over every individual's actions and thoughts, eliminating dissent and ensuring unquestioning submission.

10. The Photon Belt: Earth's Evolutionary Leap

The period of the opportunity for the Luciferic consciousness is coming to an end and it will have to wait until another opportunity is offered either by humanity or another consciousness stream.

Cosmic rebalancing. Earth is entering a "photon beam," a highly charged energy field that will rebalance its energy field and raise its vibrational frequency. This cosmic event, predicted by ancient civilizations like the Maya, marks the end of the Luciferic consciousness's opportunity to dominate the planet.

Accelerated change. This rebalancing will cause profound changes on all levels:

  • Extreme weather and natural disasters
  • Global conflicts and economic collapse
  • Breakdown of old political and social structures
  • Time appearing to pass more quickly
    These effects are intensified by the planet's current imbalance, but also by the Brotherhood's attempts to resist the transformation.

The Great Awakening. The photon beam is triggering a "Great Awakening" in human consciousness, helping people reconnect with their higher selves. This is leading to a "Robots' Rebellion" as more individuals reject programmed thinking and embrace love, compassion, and truth.

11. The Robots' Rebellion: Reclaiming Our Power

We have the power, not they, if only we could recognise it.

Awakening and resistance. A mass incarnation of "volunteer souls" is occurring, tasked with raising human consciousness, repairing Earth's energy grid, and dismantling Brotherhood domination. This "Robots' Rebellion" involves rejecting programmed thinking and embracing love, self-reliance, and community.

Non-cooperation. The system relies on mass subservience and unquestioning cooperation. By refusing to cooperate with exploitative economic, political, and legal systems, individuals can dismantle the Brotherhood's power. This includes:

  • Rejecting economic growth as a measure of success
  • Building local, self-sufficient economies (e.g., LETS systems)
  • Demanding true, decentralized democracy
  • Challenging media propaganda

Forgiveness and unity. To break cycles of vengeance and division, humanity must embrace forgiveness, even for the manipulators. Recognizing our shared eternal nature transcends racial, religious, and cultural differences. Unity and peaceful, determined resistance are essential to overcome the forces of disharmony.

12. A Future of Abundance and Unimaginable Potential

The transformation is guiding us to an era of abundance in the next century.

Beyond the transition. While the transition period will bring chaos and upheaval, it will lead to a new world of abundance, freedom, and advanced understanding. The old system, based on scarcity and exploitation, will collapse, replaced by one founded on respect, love, and cooperation.

New technologies and healing. The release of suppressed knowledge will bring:

  • Free energy for every home and vehicle
  • Revolutionary, non-polluting transport
  • Advanced healing methods (vibrational medicine, genetic cleansing) that address causes, not just symptoms
  • The ability to control aging and manifest/de-manifest matter.

Conscious evolution. Humanity will live for hundreds of years, consciously leaving bodies, and interacting openly with other universal civilizations. Education will foster creativity and self-reliance, teaching respect for Earth and all life. This transformation will unleash humanity's full potential, creating a world where poverty, hunger, and suffering are relics of the past.
