Dean, that was quite a work! I happen to own Etidorhpa and have read it
several times. I am always amazed at the feeling I get and it never
varies.
I always feel like I am reading the truth that has been written around a
fabulous fiction. But there is a bit more. I feel that "I am the Man who
did it" really did, but not for the reasons stated. I get a feeling from
reading the book that he explored a cave (who knows where in reality,
because I wouldn't publish such a location) that actually did lead to the
inner earth and societies.
Will,
The more I read it, the more I feel that it isn't couched in fiction. I used
to, though.
For example, in chapter ten the surface guide said:
"' This study of semi-occult forces has enabled those selected for the work
to master some of the concealed truths of being, and by the partial
development of a new sense or new senses, partly to triumph over death.
These facts are hidden from ordinary man, and from the earth-bound workers
of our brotherhood, who can not even interpret the words they learn. The
methods by which they are elucidated have been locked from man because the
world is not prepared to receive them, selfishness being the ruling passion
of debased mankind, and publicity, until the chain of evidence is more
complete, would embarrass their further evolutions, for man as yet lives on
the selfish plane.'
' Do you mean that, among men, there are a few persons possessed of powers
such as you have mentioned?'
' Yes; they move here and there through all orders of society, and their
attainments are unknown, except to one another, or, at most, to but few
persons. These adepts are scientific men, and may not even be recognized as
members of our organization; indeed it is often necessary, for obvious
reasons, that they should not be known as such. These studies must
constantly be prosecuted in various directions, and some monitors must teach
others to perform certain duties that are necessary to the grand evolution.
Hence, when a man has become one of our brotherhood, from the promptings
that made you one of us, and has been as ready and determined to instruct
outsiders in our work as you have been, it is proper that he should in turn
be compelled to serve our people, and eventually, mankind.'"
So what is he saying? Not only that academia had been infiltrated by these
underworldes and their surface lackeys a long time ago, but that members of
the the surface branch " have mastered some of the concealed truths ... of
semi-occult forces." Wasn't there a network of surface abductors? And didn't
one or two of them actually read his thoughts?
Really, Will, the more I read the book, the more literally I take it.
Dean
I base a lot on my feelings. When I read the Bible Code book that so
popular a few years ago, I really felt like the code does exist in the
first
···
5 books, but that the rest of it was BS! Especially the guy who wrote it,
trying to make himself out to be some great discoverer. He has been found
out for what he is now. But the code still exists.
