This is the power of the hour. This is the power of the time. This is the power of the time. that you'll do what you'll find. So wag A The End You're listening to the Hour of the Time. I'm William Cooper. Boy, everybody's running around here like a chicken with their head cut off. You'd think we'd never done this before, folks. The girls are not here to do the pledge, and Doyle is looking for a key piece of equipment that we need to take calls later. Isn't it incredible? And here it is. Okay. Thank you, Doyle. All right. Okay. Well, just to give you a little lowdown on what's going on, folks, and let you know how bad this economic crisis really is, I'm going to give you the statistics. Hot off the presses, so to speak. Now, I took these off the stock exchange before it closed. So they could be up or down a little bit. But believe me, folks, this is right on the money. Even if they closed a little higher or lower than what we have here today, the percentages are still going to work out right on the money. All around the world, the economy of all the different countries, I don't care which countries they are, are in deep trouble. Many exchanges have crashed. Many economies are no longer existent, like in Russia. In Japan, the banks are no longer solvent. The government is trying to bail them out. And in this country, a huge, a huge, a huge, tremendous, many, many billions of dollar mutual fund went down the tubes and was bailed out with a huge several billion dollar loan. But here's the figures. So, when you hear these figures, you go figure. And if you can't figure enough to get ready, then heaven help you. Because I don't know how to do it if you don't see the need for it. And I think you had better really reassess your position and your thoughts and where you stand on all of this if you have not prepared for a tremendous, tremendous, hard few years ahead. The American exchange. That's the American exchange. In July was 755. Today was 560 when I took it off the exchange. It lost 195 points, which represents 26% of its entire value. just since July. 26% of the value of the American exchange just since July, a little over two months, has gone up in smoke. The NASDAQ, over-the-counter. The NASDAQ, over-the-counter exchange. In July was 2,030 points. Today it was 1,343 points. Lost 687 points, representing 34% of its value, disappeared in just a little over two months. The Standard & Poor's 100. In July was 585. Today it's 460. Lost 125 points, representing 22% of its total value. The Standard & Poor's 500. In July was 1,195 points. Today was 926. Lost 269 points, representing 23% of its total value. The New York Stock Exchange. This is the New York Stock Exchange. In July was 602 points. Today was 464 points. Lost 138 points, representing a loss of 23% of its total value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average. In July was 9,377. 9,377. Today was 7,491, when I pulled these figures off the exchange. The Dow Jones Industrial Average. Lost a total of 1,886 points, representing 21% of its total value. That's a lot of money, ladies and gentlemen, that has disappeared from the economy. Gone. Up in smoke. And you wonder why? I'm telling you what I'm telling you. It's going to get worse. It's going to get a lot worse. Folks, so you had better hunker down, you had better prepare for some hard, and I do mean, some hard times. In the meantime, I will attempt to open your minds and reveal to you some of the esoteric meaning behind what you read as literal meaning in the mysteries. And you will be amazed if you listen very carefully. You might learn something. I hope that you do. I hope that you do. As long as you do. Sin Bears Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we're going to do one of the things that I love to do most. That's to part the veil and peek behind the shroud of mystery that hides the secret religion of the ancient brotherhood. That which people like Malleus Maleficarum believe in. Albert Pike, Alfred Boyd Kuhn, Manly P. Hall, George Bush, William Jefferson Clinton. And you will begin, I guarantee you, if you listen carefully, and if you can think, you will begin to see the light. You see, they believe that the Western world has too long and fatuously labored under the delusion that a pious and devout disposition fulfills the whole requirement of true religion. Not so, they say. Ancient sagacity knew that piety without intelligence or religion without philosophy was insufficient and even dangerous. It knew that general good intent was not safe from aberrancy, folly, and fanaticism unless it was directed by the highest powers and resources of the mind. And remember always that this is what they believe does not make it true. And the mind itself, they say, had to be fortified with specific knowledge of the nature of the cosmos and of man and the relation between the two. Following the dictum of the sage Hermes Trismegistus, that the vice of a soul is ignorance, the virtue of a soul is knowledge. The scriptures of old inculcated the precept that with all man's getting he must first get wisdom and understanding. These were related to his well-being as health to his navel and marrow to his bones and would alone give him a crown of eternal life. These things were pronounced more precious than all the things that he could desire. The council of Illuminati therefore laid down their systems of cosmology and anthropology, which have become, by immemorial tradition, the Bibles of humanity, universally reverenced. And in them were given the ordinances of life, the constitution of the cosmos, the laws governing both nature and mind. They still constitute the Magna Carta of all human action guided by intelligence. For they were the first institutes embodying the principia and fundamenta of all moral behavior, the only true chart encompassed to guide human effort in a line of harmony with an overshadowing divine plan of evolution for the cosmos. The corruption and final loss of the basic meaning of these scriptures has been, in the whole of time, they believe the greatest tragedy in human history. Like Shakespeare's Tide, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune, but omitted, casts all the rest of life in shoals and quicksands, the wreckage of the esoteric Gnosis in the centuries following Plato's day, culminating in the debacle of all philosophical religion about the third century of Christianity's development and ushering in 16 centuries of the Dark Ages, has thrown all religion out of basic relation to true understanding and caused it to breed an endless train of evils, fanaticisms, bigotries, idiosyncrasies, superstitions, wars, and persecutions that more than anything else blacken the record of man's historic struggle toward the light. And if you understand, if you understand that portion of their philosophy, then you know why they hate, why they hate Orthodox Jews, fundamentalist Christians, and members of the nation of Islam. They believe that the most frightful of all historical barbarities owes its incidence directly to the decay of ancient philosophical knowledge and the loss of vision and virtue that would have attended its perpetuation. So what then must be the importance of all of this information that they say restores to the scriptures of ancient wisdom the lost light of their true original meaning? In a very real, real to them, and direct way, the salvation of culture and a free spirit in the world is contingent upon this restoration of the ancient intelligence to modernity. Thus you see the springing up of the old pagan religions in the New Age movement and in other organizations and movements throughout the world. You see, they believe that for man at this age, he has had new and mighty powers of nature suddenly placed in his hands, but yet he lacks the spiritual poise and sagacity to use them without calamity, the message in the movie 2001. Most strangely, the control of the lower physical, natural, or brute forces by the mind, or reason, was the one central situation primarily and fundamentally dealt with in the sage tomes of antiquity. And to affect that control, in a perfect balance and harmony, and to train the reasoning intellect in the divine art of it, was the aim and end of the arcane philosophy, which I have revealed to you as the mysteries. Ideology in the Western world has endlessly vacillated back and forth between the cult of the inner spirit and engrossment in objective materialism, while ancient philosophy taught that the true path of evolutionary growth, if you believe in such a thing, was to be trodden by an effort that united the forces of the spirit with those of the world, the lower disciplined by the higher. The whole gist of the esoteric, or hidden, or secret doctrine, was the study and mystery of the powers engaged in working out the evolutionary advance so that the aspirant, or initiate, might be able to align his cultural effort in consonance with the requirements of the problem and the end to be achieved. Without this guiding data and this evolutionary perspective, modern man, they believe, is totally at a loss how to focus his endeavor, and is unable to point his direction in line with anything more fixed and basic than his next immediate objective of apparent desirability. In other words, they aspire to social engineering. He has neither a knowledge of his origin, a chart of his path, an inventory of his capacities, or a vision of his goal. Hence he travels the long road, still a benighted wanderer without compass. He can but recoil from one mistaken plunge after another, learning sporadic lessons from pain and misfortune, the way that most people learn, the way of the sheeple, the ancient torch that was lighted for his guidance, he has let burn out. You see, this lamp was the body of ancient philosophy. In this critical epoch in the life of the world, this philosophy proclaims afresh the message of what they believe to be the lost truth, the lost word, the lost phallus of Osiris, the lost light, if you will. They believe that there were three ancient and long discredited sciences that have had a surprising renaissance in popular fancy and scientific interest. One that I have struggled to teach you for many years is symbolism. The other two are alchemy and astrology, which are absolutely worthless and useless to any and all of you without a knowledge and a deep abiding knowledge of the first, symbolism. You see, you read the alchemical works as if they were literal truths, but they are esoteric tomes bearing a hidden message. And astrology is the great metaphor of the hidden religion of the mysteries. And they never used it to foretell the future. That was for the profane, the uninitiated, the ignorant, who believe that a great happening in the sky would foretell some great happening on earth. Astrology has particularly come into a general vogue, but ladies and gentlemen, on a basis which still inclines conservative positivism in science and scholarship to regard it as allied closely with popular superstition. In its predictive, our fortune-telling aspect, it is generally looked at askance because that has absolutely nothing to do with it. It is, in fact, a hoax, a con job. The ages-old machinations of what we used to call mediums, today are more likely called psychics or channelers, but nevertheless, hoaxes they are, and con men and con women who happily take your money, listen to you, talk a little bit, and then from that, read your present and your future. Anyone who understands human nature can do those things. But you see, there is another side on which it has pertinence and value that has not been recognized in the modern revival, and on which, perhaps, the mysteries believe is its most legitimate claim to consideration, and this is its function as symbolic theology, as I have been telling you for years. Unquestionably, cosmic operation, cosmic significance, lie behind the twelve constellations of the zodiac, and the thirty-six or more other stellar configurations. The planisphere, or chart of the heavens, was doubtless the first of all Bibles, pictorially edited, since man could not write and had no printing presses, and since, over a period of time, oral history tended to be changed or forgotten. They planted their beliefs in the great constellations of the heavens, to be passed on forever and ever and ever. Not quite simply and directly, but intrinsically, all Bibles are amplifications and elaborations of the original volume of Ideography, first written on the open face of the sky, charted in the zodiac and heavenly maps, and later transferred to earth and written in scrolls and parchments. Man was instructed to fashion his new body of spiritual glory after the pattern of things in the heavens. The heavenly, or zodiacal man, and a graph of the structure and history of this celestial personage was sketched by the enlightened sages in the configurated star clusters. You see, zodiac comes from the Greek word zodion, a small living image, signifying that it is a graph of the microcosmic life of man, which is cast in the form of the macrocosmic life of the universe or of God. In the New Age movement, it is known as as above, so below. You've all heard it. Man's own small body is a replica of this body of God made in its image and likeness according to the beliefs of the esotericism of the secret religion. The vast frame of cosmic man was outlined in the scroll of the heavens, the solar systems and galaxies being living cell clusters in his immense organism and thus pantheism was born as they believed that everything was linked and had an effect upon everything else. Thus squishing an ant as one walked down the road could, they believed, have some effect upon some far distant future. A deal of this Adam Breddiff symbology elucidating theological doctrinism is set forth in the body of the works of people like Manley P. Hall, Alfred Boyd Kuhn, Albert Pike and many others. But there is a group of its data that strikes so deeply into the heart of general theology that it is given at the outset for the sake of its overwhelming impressiveness to most, if not all, initiates of the brotherhood. You see, they believe that it proves to be so conclusive and evidence that biblical theology rests more solidly than has ever been believed on zodiacal backgrounds that its presentation must be admittedly a matter of great moment. It traces the unsuspected significance of two of the twelve signs, Virgo and Pisces, in the very heart of the New Testament narrative. So let the listener picture before him the ordinary zodiac with the house of Virgo at the western equinox point and that of Pisces directly opposite on the eastern side. The simple fact that they stand six months apart will presently be seen to assume great importance in gospel determination if, if you understand and believe the esoteric message that those of the brotherhood believe is encoded and written below the literal interpretation of the Bible. this exposition must begin with a puzzling and hitherto unexplained item of ancient religious myth that the Christs that's plural Christs the sun gods the messiahs all were depicted as having two mothers. Now how one asks could there possibly be rational significance in this? it has been put aside as just some more of the mythical rubbish and nonsense of early paganism but the profundity of pagan intelligence hiding sublime cosmic truth or a hidden story under glyph and symbol has not been dreamed of by most of you. And I'm telling you you had better not only dream of it but seek it out and study it. The depiction should not have created incredulity seeing that the gospel Jesus himself the dramatic figure of the divine principle in man announced it categorically in declaring to Nicodemus that quote ye must be born again end quote Nicodemus asked if this means that we must enter a second time into our mother's body and experience a second birth in the natural manner but Jesus replies that we quote must be born of water and the spirit end quote attention must be directed to the fact that the Latin word spiritus translated spirit in many passages of the Bible means as well air or breath one of the great keys to Bible meaning is the series of the four elements of ancient mythicism which are earth water air and fire and if you've read anything ever of the alchemists you are acquainted with those four elements the body of the physical or natural man was conceived as being composed of the two lower earth and water while air and fire representing mind and spirit commingled to make the higher or spiritual man was never meant to be taken literally Jesus' statement to Nicodemus then could have been rendered born of water and air and John the Baptist uses three of the four elements when he states that he the forerunner of the Christos and therefore a type of the lower natural man indeed baptizes us with water omitting earth but that there cometh after him one higher than himself who shall baptize us with the holy spiritus air and with fire Jesus thus affirms that we have two births necessitating two mothers and John the Baptist adds that we must have two baptisms have ex four to Thank you.

A more sensitive humanity of the present, sickened by the ghastly spectacle of past tortures and holocausts inspired by fiendish zeal, has tried to drop the subject as far as possible out of sight and has imposed a taboo upon its exploitation in religious quarters. This refers directly to the inquisition of the Catholic Church during what is known as the Dark Ages. And they believe that the darkness has not yet been dissipated and the monster is still capable on provocation of glaring fiercely out of the murks. And ladies and gentlemen, I must tell you that that monster is real. It is there. I have seen it. And some of you have heard it in the calls made to this broadcast and others. Those who are so religiously zeal it that they would burn at the stake again anyone who dared to disagree with their own personal bigotry, their dogma, their religion, their race even. So there are some things about the mysteries that I do agree with. And that is one. Further, they believe the light that would have enabled the Christian world to describe a beast and his true outlines and character has never been rekindled since it was extinguished about the 3rd century. Those of you who have studied religion know what happened in the 3rd century. That's when they met at the Council of Nicaea, condemned all the books that disagreed with the dogma of the emperor or pope, and chose the books that would make up what is now known as the Christian Bible in the Catholic Church. They believe that had that light been available, it would have revealed that the fiery dragon of the pit, and listen to this carefully, folks, because this is one of the key elements of the beliefs hidden behind the veil of the mysteries. It is what Malleus Maleficarum alluded to when he called in on this broadcast that Monday night when he said that he believed in God and that he was a Christian. This is what he believes. This is the truth of it. You see, but he was speaking in a metaphor even then. He believes that had that light been available, it would have revealed that the fiery dragon of the pit was none other than God Himself. His face begrimed with smoke, his features distorted by the grimaces of the beast through whose eyes he looked out upon this strange world and his countenance luridly alight with the smudgy flare of the earthy furnace. Many of you have read Paradise Lost. Well, Milton's lakes of seething fire in Paradise Lost are a travesty of truth unless, as the mysteries believe, it is taken purely as the symbology they are. You see, they believe, Malleus Maleficarum believes, Albert Pike believes, Manly P. Hall believes, Alfred Boyd Kuhn believes, George Bush believes, all of these people believe, William Jefferson Clinton believes, Newt Gingrich believes, Bob Dole believes, they believe, they believe, they believe, Satan is the God Himself on earth. They believe, Satan is God on earth. They believe that it's incontestable. They believe that it is proven by the very name, the descending God with the light bringer, Lucifer, the bright and morning star, which is precisely the character assumed by the Jesus of the biblical revelation, therefore, they believe, Jesus was, Satan himself, God on earth. They believe the Christian devil, the hated serpent of evil, Satan, is Lucifer, the God of light on earth, the bright and morning star, Jesus, Prometheus, the benefactor of mankind, God himself. That's what they believe. That's what they believe, ladies and gentlemen, and I could not go on where they speak of God without revealing to you exactly what it is that these people mean when they say God. My life goes low in endless storm above all the world's lamentation As seeing then I'm the clear sheet To all the truth of my strength I've heard as you take my name It's found an echo in my soul I've heard as you take my name It's found an echo in my soul It's found an echo in my soul I'm the clear sheet And I'm the clear sheet To all the truth of my strength Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
