EXPLORING AN EONS-OLD STRUGGLE.

“Thus we see here that the doctrines of the Persians and that of the Jews, and we shall see afterwards, of the Gnostics and Manichean Christians, were in reality the same. The following is Dean Prideaux's account of the religion of Zoroaster: ‘The chief reformation which he made in the Magian religion was in the first principle of it; for whereas before they had held the being of two first causes, the first light, or the good god, who was the author of all good; and the other darkness, or the evil god, who was the author of all evil; and that of the mixture of those two, as they were in a continued struggle with each other....’

“In sum, his doctrine, as to this particular, was, that there was one Supreme Being, independent and self-existing from all eternity; that under him there were two angels, one the angel of light, who is the director of all good; and the other the angel of darkness, who is the director of all evil; and that these two, out of the mixture of light and darkness, made all things that are; and that they are in a perpetual struggle with each other; and that where the angel of light prevails, there the most is good, and where the angel of darkness prevails, there the most is evil; that this struggle shall continue to the end of the world.”

Let’s begin by confronting basic issues. The very term, occult, is perceived as negative by some readers. They have been taught this by the media and by most of the schools and churches. By necessity then, we begin with a debunking of this concept. The word, occult, simply means secret or concealed, and beyond this, with a secondary meaning having to do with the magical and supernatural. As Godfrey Higgins shows, all spiritual forces and their manifestations in worldly affairs involve both the Forces of Light and the Dark Powers. Hence, to go farther, we must enlarge our realm of understanding, and open our consciousness to new vistas. Writers and thinkers like Julius Evola, Rene Guenon and others including myself, are essentially writers who seek understanding beyond the limits. By definition, we are occultists. Therefore, the basic concept of the Occult War encompasses the metaphysical and esoteric factors involved in the process of unfolding history, with direct implications for the current state of world affairs.

This speculative essay is based in the concepts of Baron Julius Evola. This brilliant philosopher and metaphysician saw that, contrary to what we are authoritatively told and taught, world events are shaped on several planes, including the spiritual and esoteric levels of reality. On the physical scene today, we truly see a New World Order. This is a present and painful geopolitical reality, with a plan in process and work in progress. It too is manifested on several planes, including what Evola calls the Occult War. On the outer level, this consists of an ongoing and seemingly interminable series of Fourth Generation wars, pitting the economic and military might of the west against a rather shadowy array of foes. I won’t divert from our main focus, but if you think some organization called al Qaeda actually exists as portrayed by the western powers and their ever-compliant mainline media misinformers, you should probably stop reading right now!

As you see, we are already into controversy. Who is behind all of this? Some say our Mideast wars are (take your pick): war on terrorism, war for big oil, geopolitical machinations supporting Israeli Zionism, a Christian crusade against Islam with the appropriate Muslim response of a holy war to defend itself, a war for increased American hegemony, essentially setting the USA against the interests of Russia and China, and maybe more. Whatever your choice might be, please consider another rather important, indeed, crucial dimension in this conflict, an almost always overlooked, ignored, misunderstood and/or hidden dimension; that is to say, an “occult” component. Professional historians and journalists relegate what we are calling the Occult War, not just to the back pages and to the tabloids, they simply do not mention such things at all. Related topics such as secret societies are also rarely mentioned. If you remember, during the two Bush regimes, the Skull and Bones Society, if mentioned at all, was described as just a peculiar university club or fraternity. When GWB ran against John Kerry, no matter who won, the President was to be a Bonesman. No one in the mainline media even remotely speculated as to the real nature, implications and meaning of the esoteric rituals performed in their campus lair. It begs several questions. What do they actually do? Why do they do these things? Enough said here. There are lots of internet links and books out there.

THE CONTEXT OF THE DILEMMA.

“The concept of occult war must be defined within the context of the dilemma. The occult war is a battle that is waged imperceptibly by the forces of global subversion, with means and in circumstances ignored by current historiography.”

“The notion of occult war belongs to a three-dimensional view of history: this view does not regard as essential the two superficial dimensions of time and space (which include causes, facts, and visible leaders) but rather emphasizes the dimension of depth, or the "subterranean" dimension in which forces and influences often act in a decisive manner, and which, more often not than not, cannot be reduced to what is merely human, whether at an individual or a collective level.”

“Having said that, it is necessary to specify the meaning of the term subterranean. We should not think, in this regard, of a dark and irrational background that stands in relation to the known forces of history…. However, if we consider the true agents of history in the special aspects we are now discussing, things are otherwise: here we cannot talk of the subconscious or the unconscious, for we are dealing with intelligent forces that know very well what they want and the means most suited to achieve their objectives.”

“In what I have expounded there is no philosophical speculation nor flight of fancy, but rather serious and positive ideas. I am firmly convinced that no fighter or leader on the front of counter-subversion and Tradition can be regarded as mature and fit for his tasks before developing the faculty to perceive this world of subterranean causes, so that he can face the enemy on the proper ground.” …

“There is little hope that anything may be saved when among the leaders of a new movement there are no men capable of integrating the material struggle with a secret and inexorable knowledge, one that is not at the service of dark forces but stands instead on the side of the luminous principle of traditional spirituality.”

In short, we must fully understand the methods of our Adversaries in order to effectively combat and counter them in the Occult War.

TACTICS OF THE OCCULT WAR: “REPLACING INFILTRATIONS”.

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” George Orwell.

"The chief problem in historical honesty is not outright lying. It is omission or de-emphasis of important data. The definition of 'important,' of course, depends on one's values." Howard Zinn, Failure to Quit.

What we know about our history as a people and a culture essentially shapes a large part of our world experience. When it is changed or downgraded and rewritten in politically correct ways, we not only lose part of our heritage and traditions, we lose an essential part of ourselves. As important as this is to those of us who discuss such things, we have to realize how incredibly ignorant the general public is in today’s dumbed-down world. Not only are they ignorant of anything remotely resembling concepts like the Occult War and the occult dimension of history, they hardly know anything at all about American history, not to mention their abysmal ignorance of world history. This condition makes “average Joe and Jane” susceptible to a number of mind control methods. The Adversaries use this fully and forcefully to their advantage.

“Finally, I wish to mention one more instrument of the secret war, though it refers to a very particular domain: the tactic of the replacing infiltrations. It is when a certain spiritual or traditional organization falls into such a state of degeneration that its representatives know very little of its true, inner foundation, or the basis of its authority and prestige. The life of such an organization may then be compared to the automatic state of a sleepwalker, or living body deprived of its soul. In a sense a spiritual "void" has been created that can be filled, through infiltrations, by other subversive forces. These forces, while leaving the appearances unchanged, use the organization for totally different purposes, which at times may even be the opposite of those that were originally its own.”

“We should also not rule out the case where such infiltrated elements work for the destruction of the organization that they now control—for example, by creating new scandals, liable to give rise to serious repercussions. In this particular instance what is employed on the outside is the previously mentioned tactic of mistaking the representatives for the principle. Even the knowledge of this can cast light on many phenomena of the past and present. Having mentioned Masonry, it must he stated that the genesis of modern Freemasonry as a subversive force is due to this tactic of replacement and inversion that is exercised within some of the oldest organizations, which Masonry retained as mere vestiges, structures, symbols, and hierarchies, while the effective guiding influences have a different nature altogether.”

PEDOPHILE PERVERT SATANIC FAMILIARS AS AGENTS OF DESTRUCTION, CHANGE AND REDIRECTION.

“But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns." Luke 22:53(b).

Pedophilia and child abuse are routinely used to control and influence certain events, often creating them. Installing pedophiles into both the Church and the Scouts demonstrates a most effective strategy. Not only that, abusive tactics are used to train carefully chosen children for future missions, either then or later as adults, most of which end with the suicide or killing of the operative. Let’s look at some unpleasant facts. The Illuminati criminal cult at work in the world today employs child abuse through some despicable tactics in order to create compliant, cooperative and useful operatives. This is most often done with children, but there are, as you might expect, tactics for adults. If interested, there’s a lot more. A good place to begin is with the diabolical MKULTRA experiments.

But beyond all of that, at the deepest and darkest levels of the occult underground we find covert Kabalistic perverted rituals smacking of pedophilia. Among other things, these sadistic and satanic ceremonies include ritual torture and human sacrifice, almost always involving children or young adults. A developing personality who is routinely forced to witness and take part in such diabolical events from an early age can be easily molded and manipulated. Much more can be said, but this should be sufficient for this presentation. This has been a look at just one tactic of the Occult War. With that said, it is easy to realize that what we are carefully allowed to see in such things as Bohemian Grove and the Skull and Bones Illuminati shenanigans are but the lowest and outer levels of a truly powerful, evil and malicious global cult and crime syndicate.

“The cult of evil is a reality -- by whatever means we may seek to explain it. Evil exists; it is impossible to doubt it. We can do good or evil. There are beings who voluntarily do evil. … There are also beings who love evil.” Eliphas Levi, Histoire de la Magie, 1860.

WATCH FOR SIGNS OF THE OCCULT WAR.

Stories that seem to take up too way much time in the media, often involving celebrities, are carefully chosen to distract and lead you astray. And, some real news stories are carefully selected for bloated, boring ongoing coverage. For instance, how many times do we have to see and hear about certain things to see the basic facts? While the Tiger Woods nonstory is being minutely followed, and while the oil spill is endlessly discussed, what is happening to the Euro and the Chinese economy, not to mention the wars in progress, are at best, back page items. Watch these things as they unfold and see if Evola’s analysis doesn’t move us to a higher level of understanding.

“Every time an effect outlasts and transcends its tangible causes, a suspicion should arise, and a positive or negative influence behind the stages should be perceived. A problem is posited, but in analysing it and seeking its solution, prudence must be exercised. The fact that those who have ventured in this direction have not restrained their wild imaginations has discredited what could have been a science, the results of which could hardly be overestimated. This too meets the expectations of the hidden enemy.”

“After considering the state of society and modern civilization, one should ask if this is not a specific case that requires the application of this method; in other words, one should ask whether some situations of real crisis and radical subversion in the modern world can be satisfactorily explained through "natural" and spontaneous processes, or whether we need to refer to something that has been concerted, namely a still unfolding plan, devised by forces hiding in the shadows. Today more than ever it is necessary to refer to these perspectives, which should not be confused with mere speculations and which, besides having a value for knowledge, can supply weapons for the right course of action.” …

THE OCCULT WAR IS REAL.

“Methodologically speaking, we must be careful to prevent valid insights from degenerating into fantasies and superstition, and not develop the tendency to see an occult background everywhere and at all costs.”

“In this regard, every assumption we make must have the character of what are called "working hypotheses" in scientific research—as when something is admitted provisionally, thus allowing the gathering and arranging of a group of apparently isolated facts, only to confer on them a character not of hypothesis but of truth when, at the end of a serious inductive effort, the data converge in validating the original assumption.”
