Chapter 19 - The Illuminati

Tim froze when he heard Hargreaves call out his name. Before he had time to gather his splintered thoughts, Hargreaves was standing right in front of him, patting the pocket of his crumpled suit. His face was covered in perspiration. There was a strange, almost ecstatic gleam, in his eyes.

"Tremendous! A fantastic speech! Who would have thought it, Tim?" Hargreaves cried out.

He gave Tim a friendly slap on the shoulder.

"Thanks," said Tim, surprised and confused. He was about to head out of the front door but Hargreaves held him back.

“What a turn up for the books, eh, Tim? Who could have possibly predicted that you’d make such a humdinger of a speech? And that everyone would love it. Congrats. You spoke in a new way about God. You spoke sincerely, from the heart. Not like before! Before your sermons, forgive me if I tell you what I think frankly, were so full of sentiment and drama and empty cliches. To be honest, when I watched your sermons, I had the impression you were always playing to the crowd. Your aim was not to communicate the message of universal love to people but to win their approval by putting on a show, a spectacle. I had written you of, you know. I never thought you would ever be able to change. I thought you would be a glitzy and weak-minded showman for the rest of your life, and not even six months in the mountains would change that. I see I was wrong. It is clear to me you really have had a personal experience of God,” Hargreaves said and his face broke into a smile.

“I am glad if I was able to communicate something of my own experience," said Tim. "If it helps other people find their way to God, that’s great.”

Hargreaves frowned mounfully.

“Aahh, Tim! How naïve! How naïve you are!” he said and turned and pointed at the door leading into the hall where the crowds were cheering Mary O'Driscoll and the band.

“Do you really think all those people in that hall have any idea who God is? Do you?” he asked. “I see you do now have some idea of God. You have had an authentic experience of God. You have tasted the bliss of His divine presence. Your consciousness has been illuminated by truth. United with the force energy, you are capable of loving yourself and those around you. But you are naïve if you think that other people can understand the true message of God or that they want to hear that message. They don’t.”

“No? Then why do they come here?”

“Why? They come here for company, for entertainment, to be cocooned. Oh, no, most people don’t want to be awakened.”

“Don’t want to be awakened?” asked Tim, perplexed. “Of course, they do.”

Hargreaves hesitated, the said, frowning.

"You have no idea what you're up against, Tim."

"What do you mean?"

Hargreaves lowered his head for a moment as if lost in thought. His eyes had a strange gleam when he turned them on Tim.

"A lot of people," he began. "Don't realise what they are up against. We, in America, are up against a Satanic cult, a cult that has taken over the government, the Federal Reserve, the banks, the media and the courts."

"What do you mean?"

"Is anyone still in doubt? Didn't you see how the wife of the president made the sign of the Devil on the cover of a fashion magazine recently? She posed in a scarlet dress, the scarlet dress of the whore of Babylon while the president rides a limousine nicknamed the Beast."

"What are you talking about?" asked Tim.

"You know the book of Revelation, don't you?2

"I do."

"The Beast is real. There is a real force of evil in this world. There is a real Satan or Beast out there. Their followers on this earth, the Illuminati, the elite that control the financial systems of the western world do everything to obscure the fact that evil is real. They have created through their media a world where all distinctions between good and evil have become totally blurred. Violence, rape and torture are presented in a neutral light, as merely relative. They have encouraged people to believe that if there are high levels of depression, anxiety and mental problems, it is their personal fault and reading a self-improvement book or a visit to a psychiatrist will help. The reality is that every person is also influenced by the society they are in. The Satanic Illuminati cult in charge of America's economic, educational and political system is creating conditions that make life harder and harder for the Americans like an experimenter who makes it harder and harder for his laboratory animals to survive by turning down the temperature to 20 below freezing and withdrawing their food. You don't believe me? You don't believe there could be people who are so evil? Let me tell you, there are. They are worshippers of Ba'al and Moloch, and perform child sacrifices and orgies in remote groves. Yes, it's true! Incredible as it sounds! This group is at the top of the pyramid of the freemasons."

"The freemasons?"

"A secret society that was founded in Israel to carry out the plan of world conquest. This society has spread and spread and infiltrated more and more government and financial bodies here in the US. The dollar bill is full of freemason symbols. The Illuminati's base is London.

The City of London is the place where the financial power of the Beast and the social power of the British Royal Family have created the perfect platform for organised crime. From their base in London, they control America. They own the Federal Reserve and the government is just their puppet. In the meantime, almost every high level politician in the western world belongs to one of their secret organisations. Key positions in finance, law, police, the media and the military are filled with members of the CIA or MI5, Knights of Malta or freemasons."

"I've heard rumours," said Tim.

"it's true. Now this group is moving forward to implement the final phase of their plan to create a new world order by creating wars. They also engineered the current the banking crisis just to destroy the economy."

"Why would they do that?"

"To buy up the assets, companies, farms, houses, on the cheap and concentrate ever more power in their hands. Don't forget the banks have also got trillions in so-called "bailout" money. The Illuminati cult control the drugs trade, oil and gold. They have cash reserves."

"But they must know destroying the economy is going to lead to massive unrest."

"of course! And that's why they have organised extremist groups to pit one impoverished group against the other and also built the FEMA camps."

"I know all about those. There're 800, I heard."

"Yes, yes, the FEMA camps are concentration camps where the "surplus" American populaiton will be eliminated by starvation, work and terror. FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security have already identified the site for mass graves around the US. There's also a programme of vaccinations in place to kill more people."

"They won't get away with it," said Tim.

"Ahh!" said Hargreaves. "They'll organise another false flag pandemic or nuclear bomb as an excuse to impose martial law."

"They won't succeed!"

"They'll try. Their aim is to wipe the Americans out and set up a North American Union under the United Nations."

"Crazy."

"From their point of view, it makes sense. Global warming is reducing the amount of food and water available. They want to wipe out as many people as possible. That's their solution to reducing pressure on the environment. Whatever food or water is available will be there for them."

"They must be crazy."

"They are evil, Tim, and evil is out of tune with the underlying reality and so destined to self destruct over the long term. These are people who go and sacrifice children and drink their blood in defiance of every ethical commandment and every basic sense of justice or humanity. Yes, these are truly demonic individuals, capable of the most hideous torture of innocent children because they believe they will get something out of it, extra energy, more health. Degraded, materially minded and perverse, they cannot begin to understand that God is spirit and can only be known through the spirit. Through their secret network, they promote the most demonic among them into positions of power. Anyone who thinks our current President is any different is deluding themselves. He is as much a tool of the Zionist banking cult as Bush was. In fact, I heard he's going to give a speech in Denver about the stimulus package."

"He is?"

"Yes, the so called stimulus package is just anothe nail in the coffin of the US finances and will pave the way for hyperinflation. In the meantime, America owes more in debt than the entire GDP of the world. That's what the Zionist bankers in the City of London have managed. They have turned the country into a gigantic machine to create debts, debts they can charge interest on. They have started wars that they profitted from."

"I know all about September 9/11."

"You see their total power over the media! The media images were manipulated to give the impression that the towers in New York fell because of the impact of the planes flown by so-called terrorists. In reality, witnesses heard explosions from the basement. Engineers and architects say that only a huge explosion could have brought those steel framed towers down."

"The Israelis, wasn't it?"

"And half the administration is a dual Israeli-American citizen...They are pushing ahead with their plans of massive genocide in FEMA camps."

Tim frowned.

"I attended the FEMA sessions," he said.

"They you know all about how well organised they are and how carefully they have planned the "Endgame"."

"They're not going to get away with it."

"They'll try. We're dealing with occultists here. These are people who have failed to understand the essence of the spiritual path. Instead, they have seized all the accidental features of any spiritual path, such as the lore of numbers, astrology and that kind."

"They're plenty of people like that. I was one of them!" said Tim, half laughing.

"Yes, you were," said Hargreaves, thoughtfully.

“But if you look at history and the world’s religions, you will see that the spiritual path has always been for the elite, for the chosen few. Only a tiny proportion of humankind has ever been able to free themselves of their ego and rise to the heights that are necessary to know God directly."

"You think so?"

"Think of ancient Egypt and Greece. These were cultures steeped in a deep mystical knowledge about the universe and its Creator. The same is true of the world’s great religions Christianity, Hinduism, Judiasm, Buddhism and Islam. They all follow essentially the same spiritual path. They all teach the same thing. All the founders of these religions say that a human being has to renounce their ego to know God, the Creator of the universe through his or her spirit.

Jesus Christ, Buddha, Pytagoras, Plato and the ancient Egyptians all teach us a timeless spiritual path that involves tests and trials, renouncing our ego and liberating our spirits so that we can unite in consciousness with God and know divine bliss while we are still alive.

There have been other spiritual masters who have initiated people into the mysteries of life and creation. Look at the religious monuments that have been built throughout history. Whether it is the Acropolis or the Taj Mahal or the Pyramids of ancient Egypt, they have all been built by human beings who have been initiated into the sacred knowledge.

They are all constructed on the basis of the same mathematical and geometrical patterns that are at the foundation of the universe and to symbolise in their architecture and art the same eternal laws and principles.

Is it even possible for people like you and me, Tim, to begin to understand the heights to which the human spirit can reach? I can say for myself I only have an inkling when I see the great buildings, works of art and religious texts that come down from the initiated such as Jesus Christ or Buddha. Can I really fathom the greatness of prophets such as the Yogananda Paramahansa or the Dalai Lama?

These towering figures have opened up new vistas for humankind and created whole civilisations. Oh, all too few people today can understand the reality of God’s existence because their spirits and minds are too small to comprehend it, and they are made even smaller by the Satanic Illuminati cult that rules us.

Oh, I know they think they are initiated into the truth, but then they would try to justify their hideous actions. They are people who long not for the pure truth or the spirit but for money and power and for pleasures, perverse sexual pleasures of all kinds, Caligulafests of homosexuality.

They lie to others and to themselves. They call themselves the "Illuminati" and believe they are enlightened when they have the most dark, greedy, materially minded, cruel and perverse minds. There is no crime they are not ready to commit however heinous.

They've subverted the Christian religion because there is no greater challenge to them and their perverse way of living than true religion. Religion sets clear ethical standards. All the world's religins prohbit killing. God wants protection for all human beings and animals.

But these mindless thugs are happy to slaughter millions if they can profit from it. Because they are threatened by religion and the truth, they aim to destroy it. They have promoted chuches that hollow out the truth about Christianity as a personal spiritual path to God realisation. As a result, millions of Americans go to church every Sunday, but they never have any inkling of God. And I include almost everyone here in our church this evening,” Hargreaves said, pointing towards the double doors leading into the hall.

Tim could hear Mary O'Driscoll and the band playing inside.

“Most of these people live in a world of darkness where the light of God never shines. From morning until night, they are busy working out how to satisfy the basic desires of their flesh; they long for love and recognition because most are so vain; for money and security because they are so frightened; for sex, dugs and entertainment because most are so bored. For them, the height of existence is not knowledge of God or love of humankind, it is a luxury house with five bathrooms, two SUVSs in the drive, 500,000 dollars a year for a 40 hour week, and a good looking partner. For that, they will work like slaves. They are so stupid they do not see how corrupt the whole of society around them has become.

They don't see how they're manipulated by the Satanic New World Order. They work in the companies like slaves and fight in their wars for a thousand dollars a month. That's what a private in the US army makes. If they come to church, then it is only to find a make believe cocoon where they can rest. They want to be carried away into a fairy land. They want to ease their disappointments, their loneliness and their sense of failure.

And the pastors? Zack? Well, aren’t they the same? To be frank, most of them are self righteous and dogmatic. They are motivated not by love of God but by love of power and money. Who has more power than a pastor? Who is greater on earth than a man of God? What he says is law!"

"That's the case all too often," said Tim, shaking his head. "But it shouldn't be like that. People should go straight to God."

"That's right. But our church tells the sheep that they have to obey the pastor. That's social control, mind control. Most of the pastors are not evil. They work for the New World Order because

Most of the pastors just want adoring crowds! They want to be admired! They want to be considered superior! They want earthly rewards. They want a big car and a big house for their work. Woe betide, they had to work for the church without getting these! You have to admit, Tim, you were the same. Yes, how can such pastors or priests lead the people to the divine light when they have no idea of it themselves? How can they lead the blind when they are so blind? And so arrogant in their blindness?

That said, even Jesus Christ, a shining figure full of life, love and truth, cannot lead people like this to God. No, they do not want to know about the renunciation of their egos. They cannot believe in anything beyond the material world and the media world,” Hargreaves said, taking out a handkerchief and wiping the perspiration from his face.

He glanced at the doors. The singing had stopped.

“Yes, yes,” Hargreaves continued in a quiet voirce. It’s quite clear. The God you now worship Tim is not the God that this church worships. If you continue pushing your version of Jesus Christ and God, then there will be trouble. Don’t get me wrong, Tim. I personally admire the progress you've made. I wouldn’t have believed that you would have reached such spiritual heights, have found such strength within yourself as to stand on your own two feet, and tell your experience as you found it.

But that is a dangerous development. It would destroy our church if everyone set off now to find their own way to God. As it is, they look to the church for all the answers to life. And I really believe I am more competent than they are in these questions. I am the best equipped to lead them through these hard times.”

“Really?” said Tim “Has it occurred to you that people can help themselves if they are given the information and the chance to help themselves. You're acting in a way which is complicit with the Illuminati if you help people from the experience of God. When people find out that God is not in the church, not in the church board, but in their own spirits and hearts, they become strong. “The Kingdom of God is within you!”" said Christ."

“True, true. But that is only for the advanced. To give people the right to their own moral decisions will be ruinous not just for our church but for them. Do you realise how dangerous your views are? You are right that the church is just a place of social control. The dogma, the dry moral commandments, the imperative of obeying God’s commands, encourages a slavish disposition, a readiness to be obedient without any joy. That is what the financial crime cult that rules us want. The powers that rule us want a slavish willingness to fit into the ceremonies and rituals, to obey the hierarchies, to worship the gods they tell them to worship, to do nothing without permission, to feel nothing without our permission, to be full of doubt, guilt, shame, degradation, to be passive, dependent.

These feelings are the keys to their power. A free and confident who has found God and the true source of power person cannot be controlled. But the fact is, that in this current society controlled by Satan, people are more likely to go astray than ever before. There is not much talk about Satan in the world today. He has been airbrushed, so to speak, from the world. But as I said, Satan is a real force and he has his followers here on earth in the Illuminati, a powerful organisation that controls our country. These people turn to Lucifer, Ba'al or Moloch or whatever name they give their Satan to give them the strength to conquor and rule. These are dangerous and terrible natures. Our church keeps the people safe from these Satanic influences even if it does not lead them to God.”

“Do you think so?”

“Of course. We give them the only kind of religion they can hope to understand.”

“You're underestimating people. Didn't Jesus Christ himself say he had come to spread the message of spiritual liberation to everyone!”

“He did. But the reality is most people don’t have time for Jesus Christ or God. They do not want to take the time to look inside themselves to analyze their own miserable states of mind. They cannot begin to understand that there is a kingdom of the spirit inside them that is more beautiful and more wonderful than any of the films they watch in the drive-in cinemas or sitting on the couch watching TV.

No, they do not want real beauty at all. You know why? Because beauty wounds the ego. Beauty reminds the ego of that higher world and the ego wants to be the one at the peak, the top, the summit – always, always. Yes, most people are happy in their ugly, plastic worlds full of gadgets and computers to use for their entertainment or to calculate and plan how to increase their income. They are ready to spend hours each day working out how to earn more money or watching the sports, but spending two minutes in reflection on God or the mystery of life is too much for them. Remember what Christ told us?

He told us to trust in the abundance of the spirit and the limitless power of the spiritual forces that flow without ceasing from God the creator of the universe into this world, into our consciousness and our spirits and hearts, nourishing us and sustaining all of creation. He told us to open ourselves in faith to God and then that we could taste of the wine and the glory. He gave us books and monuments and the beauty of nature as signs of his divine presence.

But what do most Americans do? They'll sit and watch DVDs full of coarse violence and sex before they read the pure books full of fathomless wisdom like the Gospels or the Upanishads or the Koran. They will sit in front of a TV watching car chases and rapes or spend hours shopping in Wal Mart before they will go out and experience the beauty and wonder of nature. What can you do with people like that?”

"They are hungry and thirsty, but they never sit down to eat and drink except of junk food and garbage. They live in darkness, drained of all inner life, of all spiritual substance, of all love and passion and emotion, a bundle of instincts, images, projections and anxieties and a purely abstract judgements, full of plans, calculations, estimations, And can they really help it?

At school, at college, they are judged by abstract goals, constantly evaluated and assessed by abstract standards, and they are rewarded for their success with abstract, mechanical jobs in the mechanical places and punished by not getting any jobs or any access to the money they need to supply the basic necessities of life. Ours is a terrifying dog eat dog society, pitiless and full of exploitation with the profits going to the gangsters crime cult.

Is it any wonder when you see the media and constant social programming that the people are so alienated from themselves and their spiritual richness. And yet, the feeling of absurdity can hit each and everyone at any moment when they are in their office cubicles working on their latest projects or when they are driving home late at night in their cars. There are moments, when even the most mindless will stop and ask themselves: what is it all about?

When they push their trolley down the supermarket aisle or rent the latest video, some will ask: why am I here? What is the purpose of it all?

At times like that the world can seem like a terrible place indeed because they have no answer. They become paralysed by a anguish and mental pain..."

"And all too often throw themselves into more work or consumption to escape..." said Tim.

"Right, right! Ours is a society of people who try to numb their pain by drink or prescription drugs. Yes, all of this existential pain, the modern American man and woman has to endure alone, all alone. There is precious little family or community life left. Divorce, incredibly long working hours and long distances have weakened family bonds."

"That's what the government wants! Sheep who are alone and easy to control!" cried Tim.

"Absolutely! There is no more time left over even for friendship. There is no more solidarity in the workplace either. Everyone is busy trying to climb the ladder, dreaming about a new dawn of limitless gas for SUVs, cheap money for estate portfolios and good looking partners who are there for them day and night.. And now the economy is on the slide. Outsourcing, the war in Iraq the sub prime mortgage crisis, high oil prices, the gutting of the unions, the lack of investment in production have brought America to its knees.

Under the Illuminati, America has become a banana republic. It is about to turn into a fascist dictatorship.

People toil day and night in jobs that have no meaning for them and with worse and worse salaries.

The pie has shrunk considerably and the lions share now goes to the network that controls the corrupt government, corporations and banks. The rich have never been so rich and the poor have never been so very, very poor. And the middle class is all but disappearing.

And then those people exhausted by work or the search for work, by foreclosure and homelessness, or burdened with worries and anxieties about their bills, their mortgages, their disappearing pensions, healthcare, college tuition come here to our church. They come in search of something that they know they are missing, even if they have no real idea what it is they are missing because they have never experienced it in their lives that started with alienation and mechanical tasks and competition even at pre school.

The financial crime cult that rules us has created a de personal world and a situation where children have almost zero contact with their overworked parents, both of whom often have to drudge away 12 to 14 hours just to keep a roof over their kid’s heads and put food on the table. That's why they don’t have the time, the energy to give their children what they most require. Them! Living, real, happy human beings, capable of love, capable of communicating values, religion."

"That's true," said Tim.

"Me? I can't teach these people what it is they are missing. I can't take these people from the hellish inferno they live in now to the the pure land of bliss, joie de vivre, pleasure in living because it will cost them effort, time and energy to change their whole way of thinking and because there will need to be a revolution to change the whole system and get rid of the crime cult now in charge. To change, improve, grow, these people would need to invest huge mounts of their time. But they come to the church for only a couple of hours a week, and they come to escape.

Religion for them is a social event on a Sunday like a soothing game of cricket or a show on TV. They want entertainment that will lift their spirits up for a few hours. They want to forget, get away. They want cocooning, bubbles, opium, highs, thrills. I give them that. I give them that here in the church, and I stop these people from falling even lower, lower into the pit of darkness that opens to the soul that is without any God. I help stop them from turning into murderers and barbarians, or beastial sadists like the Illuminati."

"Are you sure?"

"I reinforce the conditioning to make sure the people adhere to the most basic ethical laws even if I can't develop in these people spiritual qualities that enable them to appreciate why they should adhere to these ethical norms of their own free will."

I can do this by striking terror into them since they do not understand love. I terrorise them into maintaining basic standards. I frighten them into being reasonably virtuous. No one in our church, I am convinced, would stoop so low as to rape a child or torture someone. In this way, I save my congregration from the worst.

And believe me I know how low human beings can get. I experienced an environment where there were no more moral norms. I was a soldier in Vietnam and I saw there with my own eyes how ordinary men and women turned into savages, capable of the most terrible cruelty as soon as they had to fight for their survival in brutal conditions.

Yes, I might not be able to lead these people here tonight to God, but I can stop them from sinking down to the level of barbarians as has happened all too often in the cruel jungle that the Illuminati have created full of wars, genocide and famine,” Hargreaves said and shook his head sadly. “In their untrammelled greed, these same people are destroying the planet. They are selling so many fossil fuels for their profit that the atmosphere is warming to the point where the existence of humanity itself could soon end.

But do they feel remorse? No! Do the people of America want to wake up and smell the coffee? No, they don’t. They have sold their souls for material things, consumer goods, SUVs. They have nothing left if you take these material things away from them, things bought on cheap credit now that their salaries have become so low.

And the government? The government is a tool of the Satanic cult, and in spite of all the corruption and crime, the people don't revolt and overthrow it. What can you do with people like that?

They call themselves Christias? But they vote for war and torture every time over diplomacy and restraint. Yes, these born-again Christians have voted in some of the most blood thirsty and irreligious men that ever walked the earth. They rant about abortion and gay rights and stem cell research and Islamic terrorists because they love to find reasons to hate other people and reasons to make war and more money out of those wars."

"We certainly have huge problems," said Tim, as the doors of the hall opened and the first people started to pour out into the foyer.

"What can I do? As I say, I can only try to keep the worst excesses in check by drumming simple ethical commandments, black and white, into my flock. Brutal rules is all the people who come to my church are able to understand. That is why your speech now, however glorious it was, will leave no lasting impression, Tim. The people who heard it will feel enthusiasm for about two hours and then forget all about it. Their brains are not wired up to absorb the great spiritual truths. They cannot reverse the flow of their thinking so easily. No, for years they have been thinking along egotistical and materialistic lines. You can’t change that overnight.”

“I’m amazed, James, at your cynicism” said Tim, shaking his head. “Just look at me. I’m an example of how a person who was a total egotist and who was able to make some progress. Yes, there’ll be very few people in that hall who are as primitive and underdeveloped in their thinking and feeling as I was. And yet, I was able to change as soon as I came in contact with a person who was able to guide me along the spiritual path and as soon as I studied the books and made an effort."

"Yes, yes, frankly I am surprised at your transformation in only six months in the mountains. Hats off."

"The truth was, I was sick and tired of my superficial, egotistical life. That was what motivated me to make the effort. And I found that God was there, love was there, energy was there, inspiration was there. I'm convinced there're millions of people out there now who also want to change. There are so many people out there who long for peace and happiness and freedom precisely because our lives have become so egotistical, empty and materialistic."

"You could be right, Tim, but can they change?" asked Hargreaves, frowning, as he watched a young boy put some coins into a cold drinks dispenser to get a coke.

"Why do you doubt it?" asked Tim. "After all, God created us in his image, so it says in the Gospels. He sent Jesus Christ to show us all the way back to the beauty and the bliss that is our rightful heritage. A church that reduces religion to some cold commandments and abstract words gives people the impression that they know what Christianity is when they haven’t a clue. It's important that people recognise how far they are from God, so that they start making a real effort to find him."

"Think so?"

"When you, a pastor, talk like that about other people I feel you hate them rather than love them. You say you are helping people. I don’t believe you are. Lulled into a false sense of security and deluding themselves into thinking they are Christians when they are just programmed sheep, too many people stop looking for the spiritual path. To my mind, James, you are doing these people a terrible disservice. It is vital that they realise that Christianity is not about dogma, ritual and commandments, but about a direct experience of God’s presence and about love and compassion. It's especially important if there really is a Satanic cult in government. People won't be able to fight such evil without real help from God. That help comes when we turn to him in faith."

“Fine sentiments, Tim. But will these people ever be able to have a direct experience of God’s presence? Will these people who read comics and instruction manuals and think the Taj Mahal is a soft drink ever be able to find their way along the spiritual path? You know how difficult it is from your time in the mountains. Don't tell me it was easy."

"No, it was hard, very hard. Right at the beginning it was hardest."

"See! And there are so many frauds and fakes out there, so many pretend gurus and so much real evil. A starving person whose stomach has shrunk has to be given small portions at first so that the stomach can expand again and the body adapt to proper nourishment. That is why you cannot give the modern western human being the pure teachings of Christ full of depths and wisdom because they could not cope with something so beautiful and true. Durect contact with energy and light of such intensity would shatter their egotistical personalities. You have to give them little spoonfuls over years and hope they will grow up and expand spiritual and be able to absorb more of the great truths of religion in time.”

“I think you're being pretty cynical, James,” Tim said. “Most people have a much greater understanding than you credit them with and most people have a sincere desire to be virtuous. Thanks to the great spiritual leaders that have appeared to us such Jesus Christ, Buddha, the Dalai Lama and the other prophets, they also have the guidance they need. What we need now is to change is the system so that people are encouraged to devote time to the spiritual path.
Right now our society is designed by a few people and for a few people to suck the maximum profits out of the work of the many."

"You said it," muttered Hargreaves.

"I was the same. As a pastor, I was interested more in my bank balances, than in the people who came to the church and their souls. I believe people are being held back by a corrupt system. They are seeking better, fuller, happier lives but they not given what they need. People in power keep them ignorant to make money out of them, busy to stop them thinking.”

Hargreaves shook his head sadly.

“Ahh, Tim, Tim!” he cried. “You will never change the system. Those who have their grip on power will never give it up. They are, in their essence, egotistical machines for acquiring power without any soul or spirit or oonscience. How can they give up being a machine stretching out with every arm to grab, grab, grab? The people in power are the Molochs. They have their arms stretched out and want one sacrifice after the next. They are insatiable in their appetite."

"We have to fight them, James!"

"I'm afraid, they are too powerful."

"That's not true!"

"We have to agree to disagree here. I see you want to help people to find God, but all I want to do is to emphasise the virtues of self-discipline and clean living to prevent them sinking to the levels of beasts. I' afraid the time has come for us to part company. Yes, I’ll have to ask you to leave the church, Tim. What you are teaching the people here is true, but the truth is dangerous to them because they will misuse the message of freedom and growth as a licence to become even more selfish and trample all over each other like the Illuminati have. Those who are bent on evil can always justify it to themselves."

"You want me to resign?" asked Tim.

"That would be best," said Hargreaves, half smiling, half frowning. "I'm sorry, but the sooner you leave the better. I’ll have to ask you to leave your house too as soon as possible because it technically belongs to the church. Our lawyers looked over your contract.”

“Very well,” said Tim. “I'll hand in my resignation. I’ll make the necessary arrangements to move out. I’m just sorry that you don’t feel the desire to really help the people who come to you in search of help."

“I do. I do want to help them as I say! You see clearly that the Christianity here in this church is a sham and a fake. I agree with you. But you refuse to understand that is all the people here can cope with. To demand more of them is to risk confusing them. They might throw off the good restraints as well as the bad. They might misunderstand freedom to love God and be spiritually at one with the creative power that rules the universe as a freedom to indulge their every desire and lower instinct like the Molochs of this world. They might turn into the savage barbarians like the Satanic child sacrificers or the serial killers that haunt our country.

There is a real danger, I fear, that the sheep will leave their pen and run not to the shepherd but to the wolf. Don’t you know that to transform lump of base metal into gold is impossible? The alchemists experimented in a thousand ways to find out how to turn base metals into gold and they failed. Isn’t it the same with the human spirit? The gold of the spirit is precious and rare. Base metal, on the other hand, is everywhere. If it were that easy to turn base metal into spiritual gold, then it would have happened long ago. People would have listened to the great teachers like Christ and Buddha and become like them, pure as gold, long ago.

They haven’t. They remain base metal thousands of years after these towering figures full of love and compassion walked the earth, seeking every way to bring them back to the Creator and to peace, They won’t be transformed into gold in the future either by any magical process. They won't understand, you, Tim.

If you dare preach the message of universal love like Christ, they will call you a utopian. If you preach the message of peace and non-violence, they will call you a pot smoking liberal and traitor to America.

If you preach the message of social justice in the face of corruption and greed on a staggering scale, they'll call you a Socialist or a Communist.

If you preach the message of tolerance, they'll call you a wishy washy west coast liberal.

If you explain the dangers of environmental degradation, a left wing scare mongerer.

They don’t care deep down what happens to the planet or the people in the developing world or even to the next generation. All they care is being able to stuff themselves with as material things as they can. They prefer to remain ignorant to finding out the facts because to find out the facts means they would have to change the lifestyle they have sold their souls for.

Does their ignorance make them any less guilty? It doesn’t. They are responsible for not making more of an effort to understand reality. Why worry about their fate? They have cut themselves off from the light of God of their own free will and they will suffer the consequences.”

“You’re very wrong, James. There are many people out there who care deeply about other people and the world and who are doing their best to make it a better place. There are many people who are very open to hearing the true message of Christ, the message of love. They don’t hear it because pastors like you preach a kind of hatred.”

“Believe me, Tim,” Hargreaves continued, frowning. “There is nothing these people here want to hear less than that they should love their neighbours as much as themselves. They will find a million reasons to insult you if you dare tell them that is the true message of the Gospel. Because they cannot do what Christ requires of them, love their fellow human beings like themselves, they have to destroy the true message. The Illuminati want to destroy religion. Because they are too egotistical to become kind, tolerant people they have to pervert the message and kill the messenger.

So be careful, Tim. What you’re saying is dangerous stuff indeed. Human beings haven’t learnt the message in the 2000 years that have passed since Christ came to this earth and told them the good news that our money grabbing filthy little existences are not the alpha and omega of life but there is a glorious side to our creation that we can experience if we only rise up and look at it through the eyes of the spirit.

Christ came with the message of love and he was crucified. And if he came today, he would be crucified again as Doestoevsky pointed out. He would be crucified because the world is run by Satan, the prince of this world, and evil hates the good because the good shows up the evil for what they are just by being there and offering a contrast.

The Roman Catholic and other born again Christian churches are institution as corrupt as any part of society and bent on acquiring power and prestige in this world. Too many Churches are not a part of God’s kingdom of love and mercy."

"You could be right, there."

"Beware, Tim. You are entering dangerous waters if you try to open people’s minds because they will start to understand how mean ´they are. Nothing could be more offensive to the pride and the vanity of people today. They always have to be right even as they rob and murder…”

“You are failing your fellow human beings by not even trying to open their eyes,” said Tim. "Anyway, it doesn't matter what others do. All that matter is what I do. It's my responsibility to do what I believe is right."

Hargreaves shook his head, thoughtfully.

“We see things differently as I say, Tim, and our ways have to part now…I just hope you are right, mind you, and I am wrong. I hope with all my heart there is a sudden breakthrough, a sudden movement in America for truth and social justice. I hope that more and more recognise who is really leading our country. I hope they recognise the value of their existence and start to protect it before it is too late and they end up in the FEMA camps and in the mass graves. I hope they experience the bliss that is their heritage as children of God before it comes to final catastrophe. I hope it, but I don’t expect it. Anyway, I have to be getting back. A few people are waiting to talk to me. They need a few rousing and encouraging words before they go out into the cold, Satanic world again. And Denver, incidentally, is one of the key centers of these Illuminati Satanists. Just look at all the masonic and occult symbols in Denver airport. Just witness how the Illuminati's Luciferian President is coming all the way to this city built on the 39th parallel to give a speech about the so-called stimulus. I have to get going and maintain morale among the congregation. You see I really mean the best for them.”

With these words, Hargreaves gave Tim a friendly slap on the back and then turned and walked down the corridor to his office. Tim shook his head, amazed and sad, and walked back out of the door into the fresh air.
