Adventures
With Cassiopaea
Chapter
30
As we note
from the remarks of Hedsel's teacher, the idea that there is "ancient
wisdom" guarded by hidden custodians or Masters is often attributed
to Helena Blavatsky. In fact, her disciple, Annie Besant, wrote a book
about it. Thirty years later The Mahatma Letters - supposedly
written by two of these "Masters" to A.P. Sinnett - was published.
A careful investigation of the matters surrounding Blavatsky and Sinnett
will bring the thoughtful person to the conclusion that they were either
taken in by "wishful thinking," or were themselves part of some
sort of disinformation campaign. Unfortunately, most so-called "occultists"
have either knowingly or unknowingly relied upon the Blavatsky/Sinnett
interpretations as foundations to their own ideas.
Joscelyn
Godwin, in his books Arktos and The Hermetic Brotherhood
of Luxor, attempted to trace the threads of these ideas to the
original sources. Geoffrey Ashe, in his book The Ancient Wisdom
made a similar attempt with much better results. Earnest Scott in The
People of the Secret states the problem as a legend that the ebb
and flow of history are subject to purposive direction from a higher level
of understanding, the process being manipulated by a hierarchy of intelligences
- the lowest level of which makes physical contact with humanity.
We come
now to Gurdjieff's comments about "planetary evolution," "secret
schools," esoteric and exoteric teachings, in relation to our present
subjects of Alternative 3 and the Secret Games of the Gods.
In these remarks we will find, I believe, the Terrible Secret, the astounding
revelation, the information, hitherto guarded jealously by the most
enclosed of the inner Orders, the secrets pertaining "to a far deeper
level of knowledge than has hitherto been made exoteric by the Schools
- even in this enlightened age." Read it slowly; ponder it; reread
it, and consider the implications of how the denizens of the Eighth Sphere
might react to this revelation, how their "agents" among humanity
might be manipulated to deal with it in order to conceal it, to cover
it up, to distort it, to nullify it, and most of all, to make it come
to naught.
Gurdjieff
noted that standard scientific teachings tell us that life is "accidental."
Such ideas fail to take into account the idea that there is nothing accidental
or unnecessary in nature, that everything has a definite function and
serves a definite purpose of Cosmic Consciousness. Gurdjieff then says:
It has
been said before that organic life transmits planetary influences of
various kinds to the earth and that it serves to feed the moon and to
enable it to grow and strengthen. But the earth also is growing; not
in the sense of size but in the sense of greater consciousness, greater
receptivity. The planetary influences which were sufficient for her
at one period of her existence become insufficient, she needs the reception
of finer influences. To receive finer influences a finer, more sensitive
receptive apparatus is necessary. Organic life, therefore, has to evolve,
to adapt itself to the needs of the planets and the earth. Likewise
also the moon can be satisfied at one period with the food which is
given to her by organic life of a certain quality, but afterwards the
time comes when she ceases to be satisfied with this food, cannot grow
on it, and begins to get hungry. [
] This means that in order to answer
its purpose organic life must evolve and stand on the level of the needs
of the planets, the earth, and the moon.
We must
remember that the ray of creation, as we have taken it, from the Absolute
to the moon, is like a branch of a tree - a growing branch. The end
of this branch, the end out of which come new shoots, is the moon.
If the moon does not grow, if it neither gives nor promises to give
new shoots, it means that either the growth of the whole ray of creation
will stop or that it must find another path for its growth, five out
some kind of lateral branch. [
]
If organic
life on earth disappears or dies the whole branch will immediately wither.
The same thing must happen, only more slowly, if organic life is arrested
in its development, in its evolution, and fails to respond to the demands
made upon it. The branch may wither. [
]
General
growth is possible only on the condition that the 'end of the branch'
grows. Or, speaking more precisely, there are in organic life tissues
which are evolving, and there are tissues which serve as food and medium
for those which are evolving. Then there are evolving cells within
the evolving tissues, and cells which serve as food and medium for those
which are evolving. In each separate evolving cell there are evolving
parts and there are parts which serve as food for those which are evolving.
But always and in everything it must be remembered that evolution
is never guaranteed, it is possible only and it can stop at any moment
and in any place.
The
evolving part of organic life is humanity. Humanity also has its
evolving part. [
] If humanity does not evolve it means that the evolution
of organic life will stop and this in its turn will cause the growth
of the ray of creation to stop. At the same time if humanity ceased
to evolve, it becomes useless from the point of view of the aims for
which it was created and as such it may be destroyed. In this
way the cessation of evolution may mean the destruction of humanity.
[
]
[E]xamining
the life of humanity as we know it historically we are bound to acknowledge
that humanity is moving in a circle. In one century it destroys
everything it creates in another and the progress in mechanical things
of the past hundred years has proceeded at the cost of losing many other
things which perhaps were much more important for it. Speaking in general
there is every reason to think and to assert that humanity is at
a standstill and from a standstill there is a straight path to downfall
and degeneration. [
]
[W]e see
that a balanced process proceeding in a certain way cannot be changed
at any moment it is desired. It can be changed and set on a new path
only a certain 'crossroads.' In between the 'crossroads' nothing
can be done. At the same time if a process passes by a 'crossroad'
and nothing happens, nothing is done, then nothing can be done afterwards
and the process will continue and develop according to mechanical laws;
and even if people taking part in this process foresee the inevitable
destruction of everything, they will be unable to do anything. I repeat
that something can be done only at certain moments which I have just
called 'crossroads.' [
]
Of course
there are very many people who consider that the life of humanity is
not proceeding in the way in which according to their views it ought
to go. And they invent various theories which in their opinion ought
to change the whole life of humanity. [
] All these theories are certainly
quite fantastic, chiefly because they do not take into account the most
important thing, namely, the subordinate part which humanity and
organic life play in the world process.
Intellectual
theories put man in the center of everything; everything exists for
him
[
] And all the time new theories appear evoking in their turn
opposing theories; and all these theories and the struggle between them
undoubtedly constitute one of the forces which keep humanity in the
state in which it is at present. [
]
Everything
in nature has its aim and its purpose, both the inequality of man and
his suffering. To destroy inequality would mean destroying the possibility
of evolution. To destroy suffering would mean, first, destroying a
whole series of perceptions for which man exists, [
] and thus it is
with all intellectual theories.
The process
of evolution [
] which is possible for humanity as a whole, is completely
analogous to the process of evolution possible for the individual man.
And it begins with the same thing, namely, a certain group of cells
gradually becomes conscious; then it attracts to itself other cells,
subordinates others, and gradually makes the whole organism serve its
aims and not merely eat, drink, and sleep. This is evolution and there
can be no other kind of evolution. In humanity as in individual man
everything begins with the formation of a conscious nucleus. All
the mechanical forces of life fight against the formation of this conscious
nucleus in humanity, in just the same way as all mechanical habits,
tastes and weaknesses fight against conscious self-remembering in man.
"Can
it be that there is a conscious force which fights against the evolution
of humanity?" [Ouspensky] asked.
"From
a certain point of view it can be said," said G[urdjieff].
"There
are two processes which are sometimes called 'involutionary' and 'evolutionary.'
The difference between them is the following: An involutionary process
begins consciously in the Absolute but at the next step it already becomes
mechanical - and it becomes more and more mechanical as it develops;
an evolutionary process begins half-consciously and conscious opposition
to the evolutionary process can also appear at certain moments in the
involutionary process. From where does this consciousness come? From
the evolutionary process of course.
The evolutionary
process must proceed without interruption. Any stop causes a separation
from the fundamental process. Such separate fragments of consciousnesses
which have been stopped in their development can also unite and at any
rate for a certain time can live by struggling against the evolutionary
process. After all, it makes the evolutionary process more interesting.
Instead
of struggling against the mechanical forces there may, at certain moments,
be a struggle against the intentional opposition of fairly powerful
forces though they are not of course comparable with those which
direct the evolutionary process. These opposing forces may sometimes
even conquer. The reason for this consists in the fact that the
forces guiding evolution have a more limited choice of means; in other
words, they can only make use of certain means and certain methods.
The opposing forces are not limited in their choice of means and they
are able to make use of every means, even those which only give rise
to a temporary success, and in the final result they destroy both
evolution and involution at the point in question. [
]
"Are
we able to say for instance that life is governed by a group of conscious
people? Where are they? Who are they? We see exactly the opposite:
that life is governed by those who are the least conscious, by those
who are most asleep.
"Are
we able to say that we observe in life a preponderance of the best,
the strongest, and the most courageous elements? Nothing of the sort.
On the contrary we see a preponderance of vulgarity and stupidity of
all kinds.
"Are
we able to say that aspirations towards unity, towards unification,
can be observed in life? Nothing of the kind of course. We only see
new divisions, new hostility, new misunderstandings.
"So
that in the actual situation of humanity there is nothing that points
to evolution proceeding. On the contrary when we compare humanity
with a man, we quite clearly see a growth of personality at the cost
of essence, that is, a growth of the artificial, the unreal, and what
is foreign, at the cost of the natural, the real, and what is one's
own.
"Together
with this, we see a growth of automatism.
"Contemporary
cultures requires automatons. And people are undoubtedly losing their
acquired habits of independence and turning into automatons, into parts
of machines. It is impossible to say where is the end of all this and
where the way out - or whether there is an end and a way out. One thing
alone is certain, that man's slavery grows and increases. Man is becoming
a willing slave. He no longer needs chains. He begins to grow fond
of his slavery, to be proud of it. And this is the most terrible thing
that can happen to a man.
"[A]s
I pointed out before, the evolution of humanity can proceed only through
the evolution of a certain group, which, in its turn, will influence
and lead the rest of humanity.
"Are
we able to say that such a group exists? Perhaps we can on the basis
of certain signs, but in any event we have to acknowledge that it is
a very small group, quite insufficient, at any rate, to subjugate the
rest of humanity. Or looking at it from another point of view, we can
say that humanity is in such a state that it is unable to accept the
guidance of a conscious group."
"How
many people could there be in this conscious group?" someone asked.
"Only
they themselves know this," said G[urdjieff].
"Does
it mean that they all know each other?" asked the same person again.
"How
could it be otherwise?" asked G. "Imagine that there are
two or three people who are awake in the midst of a multitude of sleeping
people. They will certainly know each other. But those who are asleep
cannot know them. How many are they? We do not know and we cannot
know until we become like them. It has been clearly said before that
each man can only see on the level of his own being. But two
hundred conscious people, if they existed and if they found it necessary
and legitimate, could change the whole of life on the earth. But either
there are not enough of them, or they do not want to, or perhaps the
time has not yet come, or perhaps other people are sleeping too soundly.[
]
Now, interestingly,
this idea has repeatedly surfaced in UFO research and lore: the idea of
mankind being "lunch" for the aliens. It is not quite that simple but
the Cassiopaean source indicates that there is an energy that is released
when the soul separates from the body and this is ostensibly the reason
that higher density beings are often noted at times of great disaster
and during wars; they are feeding on this awareness. Now, note, they are
NOT feeding on the soul, but the energy of awareness! And, we have
to look at the ideas of cyclic catastrophes in this light.
The Book
of Revelation says:
"Then
I saw a single angel stationed in the sun's light, and with a mighty
voice he shouted to all the birds that fly across the sky, Come, gather
yourselves together for the great supper of God, that you may feast
on the flesh of rulers, the flesh of generals and captains, the flesh
of powerful and mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and
the flesh of all humanity, both free and slave, both small and great!
...and all the birds fed ravenously and glutted themselves with their
flesh." (Chap 19, vs. 17, 18 and 21 excp., Amplified,
Zondervan)
We now realize,
of course, that we have found the answer to the questions we posed at
the beginning of this chapter:
The question
is, why? What, in the name of all things reasonable, would prompt anyone
to wish to hide these matters? What kind of sick mind would divert
the attention of humanity away from what is evident all over the planet
to those with open eyes, and promote so assiduously ideas that mislead,
misguide, and generally placate the populace into an assurance that
either nothing is going to happen, or if it does, it will be preceded
by a long period of approach by a body that is well organized and clearly
seen?
Well,
the clue is right there: "placate the populace." Control.
But, Heavenly
days! What kind of lunatics would want to keep everything under control
in that sense if they have some idea that they, themselves, might be
destroyed in the very processes they are concealing?
Obviously,
they don't think so. Obviously, they think they have a plan. And that
suggests that, obviously, they know a lot more about what's going on,
what the possibilities and probabilities are than the rest of us.
And we begin
to have a glimmer of understanding of how Economics and Game Theory fit
into the picture. It is by means of Game Theory strategies that control
of Economics is obtained. And since in our reality, Money is Power, those
who control the Economy control the world.
We begin
to understand why members of the "Elite" on our planet, having
been apprised of this fact, immediately went to work to discover the ways
and means for their own escape. We understand why they funded Princeton
and other institutions of higher learning, and why they imported all the
brains on the planet, to put them to work to devise a method that could
be activated at a certain point in time to transfer perimeters.
We also begin to understand why they have made so concerted an effort
to keep the masses of humanity deaf, dumb and blind: they are the sheep
who will be the "food for the Moon" while the "Masters
of the Game" escape.

The owners and publishers
of these pages wish to state that the material presented here is the product
of our research and experimentation in Superluminal Communication. We invite
the reader to share in our seeking of Truth by reading with an Open, but skeptical
mind. We do not encourage "devotee-ism"
nor "True Belief." We DO encourage the seeking of Knowledge and Awareness in
all fields of endeavor as the best way to be able to discern lies from truth.
The one thing we can tell the reader is this: we work very hard, many hours
a day, and have done so for many years, to discover the "bottom line" of our
existence on Earth. It is our vocation, our quest, our job. We constantly seek
to validate and/or refine what we understand to be either possible or probable
or both. We do this in the sincere hope that all of mankind will benefit, if
not now, then at some point in one of our probable futures.
