In a recent article, Arjun Walia documents how modern and historical “elites” use black magic rituals to conjure up entities for more power.
Good Research, âSecretâ Conclusions
Walia states the problem well.
Looking into various subjects, from MK ultra and other forms of mind control, to the information coming from whistleblowers/insiders, the use of ceremonial magic for perverse reasons by the elite is really not that far-fetched. Although scary to contemplate, it does happen. Those who we consider our leaders, those in positions of great power, those behind the global corporatocracy we see today and the propaganda weâre all subject to, could all be guided by âspiritsâ from places we have yet to learn about. And as a result, the massive manipulation of humanity could be guided by these âdemonicâ entities.
Then comes to âSecretâ conclusions.
The main takeaway from this article should be that our connection to spirit is strong, and there are those that dwell in other worlds that can assist us, but not for our own material desires that stem from human greed, ego, and ignorance. If your heart is pure and intentions are good, if you would like to use manifestation for the goodwill of the whole, then you need not fear talking to and acknowledging this realm.
This is consistent with âThe Secretâ where the law of attraction puts a universal energy source at the disposal of the magician. The results of magic rituals, weâre told, are determined solely by the thoughts and intentions of the magician.
An Unexplained Leap
Waliaâs conclusions also make an unexplained leap from the rituals upon which they’re derived.
Hall, and most of the historical figures he cites as having been influenced (Socrates, Napoleon, Faust), were interacting with individual spirit entities each with unique characteristics. And yet, in Walia’s conclusions about them, the personal demons of the magicians somehow become a collective âitâ rather than a personalized âthey.â In contrast, the invocations in “The Complete Book of Magic Science” always call upon “the invisible inhabitants of the elements” using a specific name.
For Walia, the unseen realm does have duality: it has both good and evil demons. But that’s where his distinctions end. Unlike the rituals performed by the elites of his subject, he makes no distinctions about what or who is being contacted.
Protected by their purity, weâre told, the white magician is safe to draw upon the collective energy of an amorphous host of demons functioning like the âForceâ in star wars. If one has the pure intentions of Yoda, only the good demons respond, and vice versa for Darth Vader.
Cosmic Powers Over This Present Darkness
Though Walia makes no biblical references, his âelite ⊠those in positions of great power, those behind the global corporatocracyâ are called cosmocrats in Ephesians 6:12.1
“Cosmocrat” is anglicized from the greek ÎșÎżÏÎŒÎżÎșÏÎŹÏÎżÏÎ±Ï or kosmokratoras. They are the “world influence of any influential, governing authority over the inhabited world understood in terms of physical control; including both human and preternatural authorities.”2
The entities (âthose that dwell in other worldsâ) being called on for guidance and power are the preternatural counterparts of the cosmocrats: âthe rulers ⊠the authorities ⊠the cosmic powers over this present darkness.1 These terms have one thing in common: they are all terms of geographic dominion.3
Their Beliefs, Not Yours
If all of this seems far-fetched, esoteric, or inapplicable to real life, take it up with the elites in Waliaâs article. Itâs their actions and beliefs that are of concern. One need not prove the existence of the unseen realm to discuss the behaviors of those declaring that they seek power from it.
If the invisible entities the elites are calling on for power donât exist then whatâs all the fuss about? Again, the âfussâ is about the actions and beliefs of those in earthly positions of power. If a psychopath threatens, âIâve been commanded by Satan to kill youâ the immediate problem is his belief in Satan, not yours.
Ceremonial Magic
What is ceremonial magic? The works of multiple scholars, from Plato to Manly P. Hall and further down the line, suggest it is essentially the use of rituals and techniques to invoke and control âspiritsâ or lifeforms that could be existing within other dimensions or worlds. For example, according to Hall, âa magician, enveloped in sanctified vestments and carrying a wand inscribed with hieroglyphic figures, could by the power vested in certain words and symbols control the invisible inhabitants of the elements and of the astral world. While the elaborate ceremonial magic of antiquity was not necessarily evil, there arose from its perversion several false schools of sorcery, or black magic.â
The essence of magic is bypassing God or Godly means to do something. The worst of all forms is to involve the lower-g gods forbidden in the first commandment, âYou shall have no other gods before me.”4 Ancient Israelites would have understood such a god to be “a supernatural being worshipped as controlling some part of the world or some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force.”2
Plato Was Right
Yet if we examine the works of Plato, we see he specifically condemns, both in the Laws and in the Republic, the idea that âgodsâ can be influenced by the performance of certain rituals â called ânecromancyâ or âmagical attack.â He believed those who try to control the spirit world should be penalized.
The Bible is clear that lower-g gods exist5, and that they are not to be tangled with.6 Plato’s belief was consistent with these prohibitions.
For the Jew, and later the Christian, it has always been “black” to communicate with elohim other than Yahweh. All magic, in this sense, is black.
Socrates was Almost Good Enough?
Socrates, about whom Plato wrote much, also spoke of an entity that guided him. It was never given a name, but references to it ranged from daemon to daimon. Socrates believed this entity was a gift, and manifested itself in the form of the voice within, something we all possess. His communication with this entity was actually used as one of the charges against him when he was put to death. Socrates believed it to be a link between mortal man and God.
Socrates seems to be an exception when it comes to using these concepts for perverse reasons, and, as Hall points out, he provided evidence that âthe intellectual and moral status of the magician has much to do with the type of elemental he is capable of invoking. But even the daemon of Socrates deserted the philosopher when the sentence of death was passed.â
If Socratesâ intellectual and moral status were not enough what made Hall believe the average man would be safe in practicing âwhiteâ magic?
Good men are capable of invoking evil spirits. The question is not whether they are able, but whether they are willing.
The ‘Guided’ First Whistleblower
He (Socrates) was put to death for âcorrupting the youthâ and spreading âfalseâ information amongst the people, but looking back, he seems to be a figure more like our modern day revolutionaries than a malevolent influence, put to death for exposing the aristocracyâs secrets and encouraging people to question the true nature of reality, to question the doctrine that had been provided to the masses by those in power.
In Socrates lifetime the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Pentateuch) were assembled, and the term âTorahâ first used to refer to them. What better time to start âexposing the aristocracyâs secrets and encouraging people to question the true nature of realityâ then in parallel with the 66 books of the Bible that would soon encourage the entire world to do exactly that?!
Whoâs in Control?
In the Faustian bargain, the recipient becomes at the disposal of the devil after fame and fortune are delivered. Indeed, people seem more likely to become at the mercy of these things than harness them for the good of humanity.
For Hall, the “invisible inhabitants of the elements” are put under the control of the magician who’s used just the right combination of symbols, cloths, words, and ceremony to conjure them. Why would Hall presume that such inhabitants are controllable?
Once conjured, rather than âcontrol the invisible inhabitantsâ the magician more likely must cede control to them; presumably a problem worse than being only guided.
Whoâs More Powerful?
Those seeking more power from “invisible inhabitants of the elements” already have earthly power. Wouldnât those who could provide more be more powerful than the seeker; the grantor superior to the grantee?
Phenomena like these appear in various cultures during different time periods all throughout human history, so what makes us think these practices have stopped today?â
Indeed, these occult practices have been occurring since at least the time of Moses (1500-1300 B.C.). They were proscribed in the Old Testament, and yet, have continued throughout human history. Their prevalence, today, is such that one can hardly process the news without an understanding of their implications.
Before finishing this commentary on Waliaâs article, I discovered it was published in 2016 under a different title: âCeremonial Magic & Sorcery: How an Ancient Art Became Perverted by the âGlobal Eliteââ.
I donât think the elite have perverted an ancient art; theyâve merely resumed the practice of one corrupted from its inception.
Though I disagree with Waliaâs conclusions, I recommend his article for the awareness it brings to these practices. The cosmocrats are real, and so are the entities theyâre calling upon for guidance and power.
