MAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

Somewhere between the STAIRWAYs TO HEAVEN and the HIGHWAYs TO HELL..over the RAINBOWs TO PARADISE..are the modern hero-mages of truth and love born..the rebellious joy-toys of uz..the cosmic heart-stars of tomorrow..saved but still lost..strive and struggle for the vision of enlightened humanity..the global transformation to active compassion..combined effort for a healthy and happy future..stepping brave thru the darkness of illusions..into the bright spheres of higher wisdom and spiritual potential..creating a new reality..on the dust of the old world..which still keeps many souls trapped in its invisible cage..ignorant and blind..not recognizing how this system of lies is destroying the base of all our lives..and that the only way out will be a collective awakening..the realized awareness of universal unity and divine existence..

ALL IS ONE IN NOW!

We’re off you know,
To a distant land
And the only ones, allowed to come
Are those who feel they can.
Go right along,
With the master plan
Cause the only thing,
You’ve got to bring
Is sitting there in your head.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.

Men and people will fight ya down
When ya see Jah light.
Let me tell you if you’re not wrong,
Everything is all right.
So we gonna walk - all right!
Through de roads of creation.
We the generation.
Trod through great tribulation.
Bob Marley, Exodus

I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid... afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone and then show these people what you don’t want them to see. I’m going to show them a world without you. A world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.

Welcome to the most glorious event in the history of this physical universe. Indeed, welcome to the most significant event in the history of all of creation. Although many of you may not have realized it just yet, everyone on this planet has front row seats to one of the most amazing and beautiful creative events ever initiated. All of us currently existing in, on, and around this earth are about to witness the culmination of eons of physical evolution and spiritual effort. A divine plan set in motion at the very start of creation is reaching its glorious, divinely sanctioned, and spiritually magnificent denouement. Now the entire hosts of heaven, the spiritual hierarchies, and indeed the whole of creation are poised, watching and waiting, to participate in a divine event so magnificent its description is beyond mere words. Prophecies about heaven on earth and even our greatest imaginings of paradise lost do not do justice to the scope and magnitude of this event.

When a race finally became available that fulfilled the conditions we had set out, technology for space travel was introduced and we watched them quickly break the physical barriers that separated their species from the rest of this physical universe. As they broke the barriers to interplanetary travel, they did exactly what we expected them to do. They sought to expand the material base of their civilization (i.e., expand their ecological niche) and went out to find worlds to control, dominate, and exploit. As they found technologically undeveloped and primitive planets, they placed the people of these planets into productive slavery (i.e., made them farmers, miners and workers) and siphoned off the wealth they generated for their own personal use. They found many worlds to dominate and to each one of these they came as bigheaded God’s with magical technology to dazzle the eyes of the unsophisticated denizens.
When the beings came to this planet, they finally had fulfilled their sacred mission. They enslaved you with their systems of control and in that enslavement they prevented you from accessing your vast spiritual power. They cut you off from your manifestation powers, stunted your chakra system, and left you in almost total spiritual, political, and social ignorance. In this state, there was virtually no possibility that you would ever get access to the power of your body. However, you would still be able to function as janitors because, unlike the Grays (also known as the Annunaki), you still had a heart.

Now, despite the fact that the Grays did such an incredible job, and despite the fact that we are at the ascension point and ready to wake the entire earth up to the grand drama we have all participated in, there is resistance to turning the cosmic page. There are two problems here. One problem (the easier one) we have involves the pace and timing of awakening. Obviously, waking people up to this grand ascension drama has to be done carefully. Given the level of darkness and the profound disconnection that characterized the bodies of this world, you simply could not send an emissary in and start yapping about energy, the ascension, slave masters, and karmic contracts without eliciting a violent, paranoid, and vengeful reaction. In this ascension attempt we have undertaken the awakening process in a very controlled, very gentle fashion.
Bringing this world to the point where we could gently awaken the sleepers of this world was one problem, but it was not the most intractable problem. We could have accomplished this awakening several thousand years ago if it was not the fact that the rulers of this world did not wish to let you go. Initially, resistance to the spiritual truth came from the Annunaki overlords. Until they had responded to their wake up call, they essentially ignored or destroyed any emissaries that came with the message to “let God’s people go.” However, as time passed and they started to focus on their own spiritual problems, and as they lost interest in this world, the resistance shifted from them to the human elites that had helped the Annunaki dominate the people of this planet and who were left in control as the Annunaki left this world. These human overlords continued with the prerogatives of the original Annunaki overlords and continued to keep the masses of this planet enslaved. They did not like the idea of releasing the people of this planet. A combination of their own fear and greed had (has) made them determined to retain their privileged positions. In fact, they have been so desperate to prevent the final day of reckoning that they have demonstrated they will go to just about any length to prevent a successful ascension and awakening process. They would even go as far as to destroy this world.

The primary challenge for warriors in this lifetime, like the healers, is throwing of their fears of persecution and violent death and assuming the mantel of authority and power that comes to them to fulfill their final tasks. This challenge of assuming authority is particularly difficult on this earth where we have always been taught that to assume authority signals arrogance or spiritual immaturity. This is very far from the truth and is more about ideological indoctrination into servitude than an expression of the true desires of Spirit or of God. As Spirit, we are authoritative co-creators with full power and full responsibility for what we create and how we create it.

Along with the sun as the great fire-god, and, in due time, identified with him, was the serpent worshipped. In the mythology of the primitive world, the serpent is universally the symbol of the sun.... as the sun was the great enlightener of the physical world, so the serpent was held to have been the great enlightener of the spiritual, by giving mankind the knowledge of good and evil.

Even in man's present state of imperfection it is dawning upon his realization that he can never be truly happy until he is perfect, and that of all of the faculties contributing to his self-perfection none is equal in importance to the rational intellect.... only the illumined mind can, and must, lead the soul into the perfect light of unity.

The phoenix bird symbolizes a rebirth, not only of an individual inside the Masonic religion but also of a new civilization arising out of the ashes of the ruined one. According to this symbol, the world has been destroyed by the religious teachings of God, and as soon as these beliefs are eliminated from the world, a new civilization will be built upon a new religion. That religion will be constructed on a belief in the unrestricted use of man's reason. 

Trafficking in human beings and, more especially, trafficking in children have been high on the international agenda for more than a decade. Only recently, however, has the international community more fully appreciated that, in addition to being a serious violation of children’s rights and a criminal act, the trafficking of children is unquestionably a serious labour issue. It has now become a non-stop global fight to eliminate the practice. While the trafficking of adults is defined in international law by the coercion, abuse of power, force or threats that initiate the movement into exploitation, child trafficking is defined by the exploitation itself. Regardless of how the child comes to move, the very fact that this transfer through a third person results in exploitation is considered to be child trafficking.

From a law enforcement perspective, while paedophiles are remarkably heterogeneous and cannot be typified by age, class, profession, race, religion or family status, a paedophile can often be recognised as such from an examination of their sexual behaviour. An understanding of the preferences and methods of operation of paedophiles may assist in their detection and in the detection of further victims. The most common characteristics of paedophiles are that they:
·  are overwhelmingly males
·  have multiple victims
·  are usually, but not exclusively, extra-familial offenders
·  have a long-term and persistent pattern of behaviour
·  often prefer boys - male victims outnumber female victims by two to one. It is important to note, however, that while girls are more likely to be victims in reported child sexual abuse cases, boys are more likely to be the victims of paedophiles.
·  generally report an attraction to children of a particular age range (and once a child has reached the upper age limit they are often discarded)
·  have sophisticated methods and well planned techniques to access, groom and abuse victims. (Paedophiles actively seek access to children and frequently place themselves in positions where they can obtain legitimate, unrestricted, unsupervised access to children. Whether this be via their occupation, a volunteer position, children's leisure activities, the neighbourhood or by infiltrating a family, whether as a family friend or as the partner to a single mother.)
·  have a tendency to collect extensive quantities of paedophile-related material, including child pornography and child erotica.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the attention being focussed on paedophilia and over the last decade law enforcement knowledge regarding child sexual abuse and paedophiles has also increased dramatically. Nevertheless, only a fraction of child sex offenders come to the notice of law enforcement, and an even smaller proportion are convicted for their crimes. A commonly held view is that paedophiles can do anything they like as long as the child is young enough and they don't get caught in the act.

From a law enforcement perspective, if resources are to be effectively and efficiently deployed to counter paedophile activity, it is imperative that law enforcement agencies have an accurate understanding of both the nature of paedophile activity (particularly the potential for repeat offending and multiple victims), and the extent of paedophile activity (within and across jurisdictions).

Child sexual abuse, by its nature, is carefully concealed and is therefore among the most difficult of offences to detect. The two major difficulties facing law enforcement in the detection of child sexual abuse are the significant level of under-reporting by victims , and the secrecy surrounding the commission of the offence. The possible repercussions of being labelled a paedophile makes offenders incredibly cautious. As a result, paedophiles will often have no criminal history, even though they may have been sexually abusing children for years.

Child sexual abuse by paedophiles is also difficult to detect because paedophiles have a tendency to obtain employment or voluntary positions in which they have easy access to children. These include positions such as teachers, scout masters, sports coaches, child care etc, in which they are less likely to arouse suspicion as a result of their interaction with children. Detection is hampered further by the tendency of some paedophiles to move residence on a regular basis, to change their name or use an alias.

The sexual abuse and exploitation of children rob the victims of their childhood, irrevocably interfering with their emotional and psychological development. Ensuring that all children come of age without being disturbed by sexual trauma or exploitation is more than a criminal justice issue, it is a societal issue. Despite efforts to date, the threat of child sexual exploitation remains very real, whether it takes place in the home, on the street, over the Internet, or in a foreign land. Because the sexual abuse and exploitation of children strikes at the very foundation of our society, it will take our entire society to combat this affront to the public welfare.

According to most estimates, 25-50% of priests are homosexuals, compared to the 3-5% of men in the general public who are gay. Not only does the priesthood have a disproportionately strong appeal to homosexuals, but most of the priests involved in the scandals came of age during the sexual revolution of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Adding further fuel to the fire is the immaturity of many of these priests, who often joined the seminaries fresh out of grade school, denying them the normal social experiences of adolescence. The combination of homosexuality, lax sexual attitudes, and immaturity has proven a recipe for disaster.

The vast majority of priests accused of sexual abuse are middle-aged, an age group who came into the priesthood at a time of massive social upheaval, both in society at large and within the Church hierarchy. Around that time, homosexuals, or those who were at least sympathetic, began assuming more positions of power, including heading up dioceses and seminaries.

Although most homosexual activists publicly deny that they want access to boys, many homosexual groups around the world are working aggressively to lower the age of sexual consent. Their cause is being aided by the professional psychiatric and psychological associations, which have moved in recent years toward normalizing pedophilia, much as they did with homosexuality in the early 1970s.

In accordance with international treaties and conventions concerning human rights, the rule of law, all nations that recognize human dignity and decency and the prosecution of organized crime including but not restricted to prostitution, trafficking of prohibited narcotics, money laundering, murder, political assassination, fraud, pedophile rings, institutional incest, arms trade; and crimes against humanity including but not restricted to genocide, sadistic torture, germ warfare, ritual and satanic murder and cannibalism, child slavery, general slavery and wholesale destruction and suppression of human history, knowledge and wisdom; and in consideration for the publicly acknowledged claim of unbroken leadership and control by persons implicated in such allegations that the following charges of crime are listed against the said defendants:
1. Pope Benedict XVI, also known as Joseph Alois Ratzinger
2. Cardinal William Levada, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and all officials and staff of what if formerly known as the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, formerly known as the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition
3. The remaining Heads of departments including all officials of the Roman Curia, otherwise known as The Holy See, otherwise known as the Vatican
4. All regional Cardinals, archbishops and bishops not attached to the Curia
5. All heads of orders of Priests, nuns and monks

That for the unbroken period of hundred of years that the criminal organisation known as Christianity, also known as The Roman Catholic Church, also known as the Vatican, also known as the Holy See did deliberately and knowingly commit identity fraud by claiming to be an organisation of goodness, piety and holiness following the teachings of Jesus Christ when its purpose for existence and ongoing function is the complete opposite by being the oldest continuous order of Satanists of human history involved in human sacrifice and cannibalism whose true objectives have always been the suppression of spiritual enlightenment, healing, wisdom and knowledge and including the ongoing suppression of human civilization through the promotion of war, disease, famine, slavery, corruption and spiritual enslavement of as many souls as possible.

You've stumbled through your life with the belief that this is an orderly, rational world, that science can explain everything and that myths and fairy tales are for children. You've worn blinders put on you by a hundred years of engineered history. Everybody buys into it and if you don't, you're a crank, a psycho or a crystal-waver. The problem is, that's just the world people buy because it's safe. It's orderly and mundane and everything's explainable. Everyone can get fast food and a boring job without worrying about crazy things like demons or magic spells.

One important thing to remember: just because you've suddenly seen the world as it is doesn't mean that you equally suddenly do magic. Everyone Awakens to their power in a different way. For some it's the ability to make things happen according to studied mystical principles, strong faith or well-practiced exercises. For others, it comes as a flash of intuitive genius that leads to feats of science. The defining point is that you wake up and suddenly you believe that you can change the world — and you can.

So there were a bunch of magicians running around burning heretics, summoning demons, sacrificing virgins and basically tearing up the landscape so badly that normal people could do little more than hide in their homes. About the same time, a bunch of people start latching on to the idea that most of the world can be explained in repeatable, rational steps, that reason can arrive at all the solutions and that everybody can benefit from an understanding of the rules by which the world works. Combine the two, and on one side you get magicians who don't give a rat's ass about normal people, while on the other side you get magicians who take up the banner of reason and rational thought and really believe in it.

The Technocracy has fallen to the same trap as the earlier Traditions, though. Originally they just wanted to make the world safe for people. The Technocrats brought in better crops, more stable societies and a world where you wouldn't get struck down by God or carried off by a random beast from the nether realms, where the dead stayed safely dead, and everything fit into neat little categories. The Technocracy gave humanity a taste of that world where nobody had to take risks, use their imaginations or wonder if things could get better. And people liked it.

Imagine a world where visionaries struggle to bring wonder to the mundane. Picture a war where the winners decide the fate of the world, and the losers arc hunted for their presumption. That world and that war have happened. The old war is over, and it's time for the survivors to take charge. Old age and treachery have failed; now, youth and speed will make their mark in a desperate struggle over the entire human race.
For ten thousand years, humanity has struggled to understand the cosmos, life and reality itself. Seekers of knowledge look for rules to the universe, but only a few Awaken to the understanding that the only rules are the ones created by belief. Forging their own rules through the power of will, these enlightened few cast the shape of tomorrow. Ultimately, they seek to surpass the limitations of the universe, to transcend this reality through Ascension. Their special wisdom sets them apart forever — they are mages.
For the common man, the world includes televisions, automobiles and fast food. Magic spells, ancient pacts, spirit quests and shamanic visions belong only in the fiction of stories, books and Hollywood movies. People tell their tales of magicians and wizards, envision the spells of lost cults and the wisdom held in dusty tomes, then go back to their normal lives. Magic is just a thrill and a fantasy. The world is an orderly place, where what you see is what you get.
Except that it's not. A shadowy world exists underneath the everyday picture. Myths and legends say that only those with the proper insight can communicate with this other layer of the world. Using rituals passed down from antiquity, enchanters and sorcerers commune with powers that no common man can see or believe. These mages see a world far different from the picture of the commoner. Their beliefs shape the very form of that world, even when their actions remain unseen.
In a world where mages view for their individual visions of reality, this struggle reaches into every belief of mankind. Mages have long guided humans with their foresight, but they also battle for the right to shape their own destinies. For some, their own magic is enough. For others, theirs is the responsibility to lead all humanity down a single, unified path. The very right to believe is the focus of war. Humanity's future rests in the balance as each mage struggles for Ascension, whether as an individual or for the entire world.

Although many people study for years to unlock the mystic secrets of the universe, only a rare few open their eyes and Awaken to their individual truths. No one formula or path can dictate Awakening; this awareness strikes where it will, without distinction. The mage discovers that she possesses the ability to shape her own destiny and to turn the world upside-down by dint of will and practice alone. Awakening can strike suddenly or gradually. Some mages just "wake up" one day, jarred into a new insight through some traumatic event — or no event at all. Others experience a slow heightening of awareness, a winding road of hunches, inklings and feelings that leads to eventual enlightenment. Either way, the supplicant steps into a wider world. Once Awake, there's no turning back. The Awakening opens a nascent mage to the power to shape magic with his Avatar, but it does not bring practical knowledge automatically. Pushed by visions, dreams or subliminal impulses from the Avatar, many such mages seek out an understanding of their strange new awareness.
Through self-tutoring or training in a Tradition, they discover techniques and forms to control their magical powers. Magic, in turn, makes its mark on the mage. Events twist in strange fashions, and the mage finds himself irrevocably set upon a new road, on which mystic events and chance occurrences become the norm.

Once Awake, the mage's Avatar is not content to rest. Instead, the mage finds himself driven to greater and greater heights of understanding. Confronting his own fears and frailties, the mage rises to the challenge and passes through the fire to become a tempered, forged soul — or he falls, flawed, in the attempt. In dreams and quests, the mage grasps for higher knowledge instinctively.

Some mages eschew their Seekings for temporal power or material gain. Others cloister themselves from society, the better to explore their inner natures. Regardless, all are driven to justify their beliefs. Although magic brings power, it springs from wisdom. Magic is change, both of the world without and the magician within. From such change, the mage is honed to a more sublime state, willingly or not. Through the fitful Avatar, the mage may find himself driven into a Seeking at any time, striding through spirit -puzzles and dreamlands in a search for inner meaning or the conquest of personal flaws. Eventually, the mage learns from Seekings and passes beyond the frail concerns of human existence. He puts old foibles and problems aside in the pursuit of a more perfect form. Ascension is the end of this path, but few mages ever go so far. Many never pass through the fires of their own faults. Some are tempted into an easy path to power. Others die before they can muster true understanding. Those who cannot devote time to the practice of magic choose to spend their lives in service, strife or hiding instead. Some put aside Ascension for a different existence as spirits or even gods. Since none return from Ascension, there's no telling where it leads, but the glorious revelations that come with each Seeking show that Ascension must be a potent ending indeed. Perhaps mages believe in this ideal because, in a world of darkness, the greatest enchantment is hope.

Mages often lead humanity by envisioning new and different ways to shape the world. At the same time, they stand apart, marked by their eccentricities, alien views and magical occurrences. Magic follows its shapers, twisting their lives in its turn. Even those mages who help or lead humanity, who gather believers under their banner, are forever set apart from the standard run of mankind. Unable to relate to the Sleeping masses of mortals, consumed by a need for knowledge and driven to the pinnacle of excellence, mages stand apart from humanity as the shining stars of future possibilities. Many human institutions bow to the strange visions or manipulations of mages. Indeed, magical conspiracies criss-cross the world, dipping into nearly every aspect of human endeavor. At the same time, mages draw their philosophies from human culture, history and society. The two change one another in an intertwined dance. The legacy of past innovation colors the powers of magic for even the most cloistered magician. Magic births new forms while it bows to the strictures of past beliefs. As much as mages would like to claim that they control human destiny, human history shapes mages just as easily.

It may seem that mages fight a lost cause. The Ascension War that drove the old guard may be over, but the youth of the day have a new direction. Where mages once fought across the cosmos over ephemeral ideas, now they fight on Earth for human causes. Even if the world can't be turned back to the days of magic, there are still things worth fighting for. Young mages take up the mantle of leadership in their groups; where once they filled the agendas of their Traditions, now they set those groups' goals. All the human struggles that mages found important — family, friendship, religion, community, learning — still exist, and they're still places where mages might make a greater difference than any other lone human. The Technocracy's hold isn't as firm as it thinks; mages slip among the shadows of superstition, bringing belief back to the masses and subverting the world of science to their uses. With the Ascension War over, more mages ask whether it was an important war, or one worth fighting — or whether it's more important to help individuals where they can, instead of trying to change the whole world at once. Into this new conflict are thrust the mages of the new millennium.

Although the world of mages seems like our own, it's darkened by the presence of lurking horrors that wait on just the other side of imagination. Mages bend the strings of the universe to their will, and their conflict reaches into the hearts of human society. With so many disparate visions tugging at belief and shaping the world, strife is inevitable. As mages shape the world to suit their visions, the world itself becomes an instrument for their war. The lives of people and of nations are torn asunder as ideology and the pragmatic needs of the conflict twist at the fabric of creation.

Spirit-talkers, animal friends, brothers to wind and sisters to Earth — these mages walk the boundaries between our physical world and the realm of dreams, gathering wisdom and skill from the spirits that are native to the earth, the sky and the water. Dreamspeakers are often pigeonholed as shamans, and the name fits. They are the intermediaries between humanity and Spirit, communicating between the two worlds, maintaining balance and keeping the relationships between the inhabitants of both realms in their proper state of stasis or flux. Of all the Traditions, the Dreamspeakers have the most difficult role and the strongest centering, grounding influence.

In trying to comprehend pain—instead of simply trying to get rid of it in line with one’s habitual tendencies—one learns many valuable lessons. To begin with, one can end any sense of bewilderment in the face of pain. In seeing pain for what it truly is, one can treat it more effectively and skillfully, thus weakening the process by which pain and ignorance feed on each other. At the same time, as one learns to resist one’s habitual reactions to pain, one begins to delve into the non-verbal, subconscious levels of the mind, bringing to light many ill-formed and hidden processes of which one was previously unaware. In this sense, pain is like a watering hole where all the animals in the forest—all the mind’s subconscious tendencies—will eventually come to drink.

The goldsmith or his apprentice, having placed it in a crucible, blows on it again & again to blow away the dross. The gold, as long as it has not been blown on again & again to the point where the impurities are blown away, as long as it is not refined & free from dross, is not pliant, malleable, or luminous. It is brittle and not ready to be worked. But there comes a time when the goldsmith or his apprentice has blown on the gold again & again until the dross is blown away. The gold… is then refined, free from dross, plaint, malleable, & luminous. It is not brittle, and is ready to be worked.

While Lucifer was perfect, he viewed God as a Person who is loving, just, and fair in everything He does and, therefore, Lucifer loved God with all his heart. However, Lucifer began to turn his eyes upon himself and realize how beautiful, how perfect, how wise, he was. He started to become proud of himself, his beauty, and his abilities. As this went on, he started to believe that he deserved a more exalted position than God had given him. He started to think that since he was so wonderful, and deserved a better position in heaven, God was not being fair to him for withholding from him what he deserved. After this, Lucifer began looking upon God as a Person who is unfair, unjust, and selfish. No longer did he recognize God’s character of love. His wisdom about God’s character of love became corrupted; he began to doubt God’s love, causing his love for God to diminish.
