In early 80s around time this interview with Hubbard Jr. took place, I dated a woman who wanted to marry me. She was from Anderson family, and her mother was head of Masonic women's league which she called Emerald Society. She was a down to earth sort of person who seemed OK and knew of my interests in esoteric 'philosophy. I knew little about Anderson's and Constitutions by that name which are central to Masonic order (based on recent research, I've done.). She falls into category of those relationships I couldn't trust motives of, due to my money; but she doesn't fall into category of cultist or fool. In fact my own issues and lack of maturity at handling these insecurities were more of problem that caused me not to be able to handle what others felt was success.

Her mother was old and suffering from some kind of certain illness. It was a two year period during which she endeavoured to convince my lady's sister and her own daughter to allow a soul transfer to occur so that her mother would possess body and control mind of her daughter. The uses of rituals according to old books in Masonic/ Rosicrucian theology were involved. Sounds ridiculous, and I only have her word and word of someone who introduced her to me a year earlier, to confirm it. The Hubbard/ Crowley/Levi/Randolph story is a corollary to it, and there are other similar possessions I've helped overcome since. The situation sounds unbelievable when I say; daughter killed mother and told truth. She was charged with murder. The courts let her off with time served, when trial was through. That was not a long time, because she pled guilty! It is possible this 'Emerald Society' was an inner sanctum group aligned with knowledge of Hermes (previously Thoth's and Ptah’s knowledge) that existed in ancient Egypt and is reflected in Emerald Table or Tablet which we will cover later. This is not a reincarnate soulful transition but is a way of avoiding death.

The fear of death has much to do with many afterlife beliefs, and I think Keltic Creed and its related native beliefs of North America have a healthier attitude about soul and its immortality. There is no reason to live in fear of death – that leads to a lack of growth (which is LIFE!). There are many books and beliefs that deal with afterlife and various related theological constructs. SETH SPEAKS was a great book that I learned a great deal from around this time in my life. I was never convinced premise was true, but knowledge made sense. Having read some of author's other work, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a channeling from another spirit called Seth.

As a literary device to convey knowledge she imparted, it was effective, and that knowledge still makes a lot of sense to me. It mirrors eastern or Hindu dimensions and causal planes. The focus on an individual ego having immortal life is perhaps a little stronger than I see it; but I acknowledge I might be wrong. As she put idea forth it seems there is a multi-dimensional and multiple personality, which might include a million souls in various timeframes and other planetary planes or causal (material) points of reference. Thus our soul will learn in each of these frames of reference and become more complete when in spiritual dimensions or non-causal frames. The interview with L. Ron Jr. didn't deal with soul transference or immortality issue as much as some other cult deprogrammers like Jon Atack and Rick Ross or ex-Scientologist officials who have escaped clutches of this mind control cult (Jesse Prince, Fishman et al.). In these reports it is clear L. Ron Jr. thinks there is a good chance Crowley continues to be part of entity or soul that was his father, because he says date Scientology began is day Crowley died.

That death was no ordinary event. An autopsy was performed on Crowley before his body was cremated. We must wonder why it was cremated and that Crowley had been an MI-6 operative in British Intelligence. This is especially true because I've heard and read that his interior organs were twisted and jumbled with intestines wrapped around them as if a force had caused a terrible death from inside his own body. There was no exterior reason for this configuration of organs. It is possible that body had some issue with ritualistic action and intent of these two sorcerers who were in league. If Crowley intended to continue his achievement of power (Hubbard assures us he'll be back or already is, not a very pleasant thought.) in another person he may well have taken advice or recommendation of Jack Parsons (a chemist on rocket fuel with JPL or other government contractors in Southern California, who headed OTO Temple in L.A.). Hubbard clearly was a great follower of Crowley from early life and would have done anything to associate with him in this manner.

As I see it body has a solar self or aura that doesn't always agree with brain or ego. The acts of these two, do not speak to soulful attunements. They would not have had agreement of any soul that was ascended or connected to higher dimensions, so they had to overcome disagreement of their souls. It would have been a big issue with body about to lose its' soul (Crowley). In case with mother/daughter it would be easier if psychics are right about soulful genetic connections in different times and lives. Crowley and other villains mentioned will appear in 'heroes' section of this encyclopedia and their retinue of deviates will grow or associate with many other heads of gorgon known as Medusa.

And if you still think New Age isn't over-commercialized, consider case of trance channeler who trademarked her spirit guide!

Native American ***************

What New Age movement has managed to do is turn Tarot cards (which have a history going back hundreds of years) into a divinatory version of Happy Families. Feng Shui has been turned into a fashionably expensive way of choosing wallpaper. And highly respected Jewish Kabala has become latest trendy esoteric religion. All difficult bits have of course been neatly stripped away in order to make it more easily digestible by New Age fraternity. Meanwhile, generations of Native American wisdom has been repackaged and is now sold as "The Inspirational Thought for Day". Many Native American tribes are of course no longer to be found.

The dream has gone. All that is left is dreamcatcher.

There is nothing particularly wrong with getting in touch with your own spiritual roots. Similarly, there is nothing wrong with having a symbiotic connection with spiritual roots of other people and cultures.

As far as I am aware, there is no artificial New Age movement in poor villages of Africa. But maybe there is no readily available market for it. Maybe there is no money waiting to welcome it in. Doubtless there is lots of money to be made (probably already being made) not from selling to less affluent countries, but rather in buying artefacts from them (at an advantageous rate of course) and reselling them at a good profit to New Age adherents in West, thereby perpetuating myth of relevance of New Age movement today.

Mythology *********

It's time to take a bold step. Leave behind artificial trappings of New Age Movement. Find out about mythology of your own part of world. Construct your own beliefs or belief system that is relevant to here and now. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you have a valid belief system, when all you have is either a credo that cost you $5.95 or a Feng Shui bill that will turn neighbours green with envy and make your accountant go white with fear.

If that is all you have, admit it. If it's badges you want why not say so? If it's beliefs you seek, then look elsewhere.

What we really need to do is to stop worshipping at shop windows and to get away from notion that ring of a cash register equals divine revelation. And above all we need to learn to trust ourselves again rather than always feeling a need to follow other people's paths. Our belief systems ought to evolve organically and naturally rather than having to be constructed, like Frankenstein's monster, from leftover bits and pieces of everybody else's.
