Thelema Pop CultureTo what degree are you influenced by your exterior world? How do music, television, and cinema, help create your perspective of reality? And finally, are you aware of just how much occult influence is embedded into each of these pop culture facets?

            Popular culture can be viewed as a paradigm of collective thinking based on the western worlds idea of entertainment and lifestyle.  And today, it’s no secret that an elite faction methodically guides humankind, through an injection of popular global trends through pop culture.  Yes, that’s a loaded statement, and some might almost find it offensive when told that their “individual” life is not entirely ruled by their own means. We may liken our existence through pop culture influences to the single fish swimming through the sea within a collective school of many thousands of other fishes. At the slightest shift in the waters current or environment, the entire school (or body) will collectively alter course in the blink of an eye, with complete agreement of the change in direction. We do maintain a sense of individuality on many levels, as we swim collectively within our communities and societies, but as stated in the editor’s column earlier this month, if you’re plugged into the world, you’re somehow under its influence.

 

Illumaniti pop             Since humankind first discovered the great secrets of the arcane, there has been an incredibly complex system of keeping esoteric information hidden on one level, and clearly present on another. The esoteric sciences, and the greater understandings of the universe, are often labeled the occult. By definition, occult, is anything hidden, masked, or kept secret. In this article, we are referring to the occult specifically as the elite esoteric orders steering the collective thought patterns of humanity. And more particularly the Illuminati agenda, based in Thelma philosophy.

            In ancient times, and really right up until the explosion of technology, humanity was guided in quite a different fashion through kings, overlords, religions, and governmental structures, all but cut off from esoteric knowledge. Today, although it seems governments are still at the helm, the truth is, pop culture has been more effectively governing us for generations.

            How is pop culture actually effective at a governing level you may ask? Consider the following. When the individual is given a law, or told what to do within a ruling structure, the initial reaction is resistance. (Example-Paying Taxes) Much like a child being told to do something by their parent contrary to their free will. On the other hand, if a person is given a suggestion through the streams of entertainment, particularly music, movies, and television, they are more likely to feel that they have made a life style decision on their own, through a popular trend or new way of thinking. (Example-Paying to play a Lottery with impossible odds)

            So what do I meant by this?  How, you might ask, does pop culture control the collective movements of the modern world?  The answer is in all ways, and from the moment we open our eyes in the morning, until the moment we close them at night, we are immersed with heavy influences, and direct messages from the occult world. While the entire world of pop culture from fast food to fashion is equally governed by a select few, I want to focus our attention this month specifically on music and entertainment. It has become my understanding that the most direct methods of injecting collective thought patterns into the minds of the masses is done through these two facets.

            So lets begin with popular music. Since the explosion of radio and broadcast, we have noticed an equally important explosion of pop icons. Elvis, debatable one of the first pop icons, encompassed all the qualities of shock and excitement for many generations. Since then, long lines of pop stars have been cleverly coached to helped guide the masses through many collective shifts. From antiwar movements, to baby booming, generations have been guided to act upon the themes and messages of popular music. But I do not want to get too far into this bit just yet, as the second section will share greater detail of the fundamental premise of pop culture lyrics and images.

Illuminati Pop

rihanna diamonds occult            So lets start with a modern-day pop anthem from an illuminati jewel artist known as Rihanna. I recall the exact moment I first heard the uplifting words of “Diamonds” and although I don’t consider myself a huge fan of Rihanna, the song gave me a deep reassurance, that the positive aspects of occult teachings are alive and well through pop music.

            How can a song by Rihanna mean something this important you might ask? Well let’s take a closer examination. Here are the song lyrics for you to read. Even of you think this is some cosmic love song that you already understand, please read it.

Rihanna: (Diamonds)

Shine bright like a diamond!

Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I, we're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky

I knew that we'd become one right away
Oh; right away
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes

So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Palms rise to the universe, as we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we'll never die
We're like diamonds in the sky

You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes

So shine bright Tonight, You and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, So alive, We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky 

Liber vel al legis            For the initiated, the message is crystal clear, but it can only be assumed that it’s still feeling like a poetic love song to some. So now lets look at this songs actual source of inspiration.

            The book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis) transcribed through Aleister Crowley, dictated through Aiwass, has provided the basis of Thelema philosophy since 1904. The vast majority of Illuminati teachings stems from this sacred text, and has trickled into popular music since its creation. Millions of human beings plugged into popular music and popular entertainment in general, have received countless messages, directly from Thelema philosophy in a way that they can properly understand.

            Now lets examine some of the occult text that has directly inspired this particular Thelema based pop song called Diamonds. (Note: the correlations here are open for your individual interpretations, as to not alter the natural order of information you receive.) Even now, reading this magazine, you are partaking in a growing experience based in occult teachings through pop culture. Proceed with your own thought patterns!

Spiritual sky copyThe book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis) -Select verse

Liber Verse 2. The unveiling of the company of heaven. (Palms rise to the universe, as we moonshine and molly. Feel the warmth, we'll never die)

Liber Verse 3. Every man and every woman is a star. (We're like diamonds in the sky)

Liber Verse 9. Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you! (At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays, I saw the life inside your eyes)

Liber Verse 12. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of love! (You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy)

Liber Verse 13. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your joy. (When you hold me, I'm alive. Eye to eye, so alive, We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky)

Liber Verse 14. Above, the gemmed azure is The naked splendour of Nuit; She bends in ecstasy to kiss (Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy) (I see, a vision of extacy)

Liber Verse 29. For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union. (I knew that we'd become one right away Oh, right away)

Liber verse 54. But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me! (You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy When you hold me, I'm alive)

Liber Verse 57. Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will.  (So shine bright Tonight, You and I, We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky)

            Regardless of any particular level of understanding through this small example, I ask you to remember that this is simply one in a million. The themes, messages, and key phrases of Thelema based philosophy have been methodically used time and time again through the beautiful faces and bodies of countless pop icons, and fluidly distributed around the world via pop culture. Realize that we are only touching upon the lyrical content here. Occult imagery used throughout pop music videos has been most present since the dawn of MTV and VH1.

            In this particular example, we find that the universal understanding of the occult world directly inspires us to realize our divine place in the cosmos as a shining star. In the esoteric sciences, this is not considered a figure of speech mind you. There is a most real understanding based in personal experience, that each soul and manifestation of human form is indeed a mirrored cosmic body. 

            As superior wisdom cannot always be plainly stated and acquired by the masses just yet, singers, artists, actors, writers, marketing specialists, and everyone in between, who holds a small power of injecting an occult message into popular culture, are provided the proper message to deliver a deeper meaning to the masses.  In most cases the emissary remains unaware of what he or she is actually implanting, although not in always. For example find a bold delivery, filled with awareness of the symbolic Illuminati conveyance, through the pop icons like Beyonce and Katy Perry.

Occult ads 1Occult Entertainment

            Moving far deeper into our investigation of occult influence in pop culture, lets look at entertainment in general. Popular entertainment through media, cinema, music, print and cyber publications, art, and fashion, are primarily geared to sell stimulation, and more particularly the stimulation of sexual passion. It’s no mistake, secret, or conspiracy that less than 5% of the world’s entire population is chosen to be a model, actor, or pop icon. These select faces and bodies are systematically placed into pop culture entertainment streams to keep us sexually stimulated, while looking at “the beautiful people.” Aside from the fact that the human being admires the beauty of its more attractive counterparts, why is this?

            While it cannot be statistically proven how many people fantasize about “the beautiful people” while having sex with their actual partner, it can be stated that the sexually stimulating qualities radiating through pop culture, continuously drive us to seek out, and partake in sexual intercourse. As a side note, there are a plethora of independent films, albums, artists, and models alike, who have established successful careers outside of the pop culture spotlight, but its indisputably clear that those who maintain the best physical features are systematically elevated to the top, to be admired on a global scale. We see this through clear channel radio and the western worlds music business, the California film industry, as well as major television networks in the western world.

            Taking a brief moment to look at pop music and its lyrical content once more, a second reference to the occult teachings through Liber Al vel Ligis proves useful. The focus here is to understand that while advanced spiritual orders such as the illuminati work to guide humanity towards a global evolution of inner realization, an intricate balance in creation must also be maintained. I realize that is a strange statement, and almost sounds like giving humankind a false power that actually resides within the un-manifested realms of a timeless and unborn creative force commonly referred to as God. But lets look at that statement for a moment again from the perspective of occult sciences.

            If we can agree that our creator exists beyond the plane of physical manifestation, we can understand that this non-polarized, and vastly “higher” source exists far beyond the levels of actual human comprehension. As an example, we often debate the gender of God as He or She, immediately verifying that our common minds understand only a dualistic plane of being. The answer to the gender debate is of course, neither, as anything un-manifested, unborn, timeless, and boundless, would naturally exist in a constant state of energetic union, holding no properties of gender.

            Herein lies the heart of the matter in two phrases.

1. The physical kingdom, earth, and the entirety of the third dimensional physical plane thrive through the constant gravitation of polarized opposites unifying to discharge sexual energy.

2. The entirety of physical creation exists through the conscious observations of it’s own individualized manifestations which spawn from sexual union.

occult ads 2There’s an old philosophical question about the tree falling without the observance of a human, and if it still makes a sound. In the occult sciences, the tree cannot actually exist without a conscious awareness to first manifest its presence. Expanding on this small example, one might come to realize that without consciousness present, there could very well be no physical plane to encounter as an actual reality. Again, that’s a loaded statement, and should you find this to be out of line with your experiences, simply take it with a grain of salt for now. Simply consider that your actual conception was your personalized “big bang”, catapulting your individualized universal experience into action.

            So God, for lack of a better term, would be entirely neutral, and independent of any workings outside the scope of a timeless, non-polarized, un-manifested plane of frequency. Ironically, as humans, we seek the answers to our existence in a "place" that is actually far beyond our physical spectrum of experience, but as close as one meditative breathe of awareness. 

            So what then of the earthly workings of secret societies concerned with maintaining the balance of the physical dimension? Can you imagine for a moment if the entire human kingdom achieved an awareness higher than their fundamental sexual desires, and felt no urge what so ever to discharge sexual energy with its energetic counterpart? Our race would of course become extinct in just a few hundred years. In the occult understandings of creation, the human being is the center of consciousness. Its very observation keeps reality in tact. Some may argue of course that the world existed without human awareness for billions of years, and this may certainly be true. But do not overlook the conscious awareness of countless other beings who have encompassed awareness long before our limited recorded history.

            Thus, keeping our race sexually charged, and therefore maintaining the workings of our physical world is clearly the agenda of the occult influence through pop culture. Even the lightest trickles of provocative beauty in a magazine, or the lyrical buzzwords like fire, heat, light, flame, and burning, all stimulate our innate sexual Kundalini energies into procreative thought and action. Remain wise to the fact that the heat and fire of the coiled Kundalini serpent, (ready to strike upon stimulation-sexual orgasm) is the fundamental esoteric premise taken from the Hindu Chakra system. The energy body’s root/base remains passionate for sexual union throughout most of our life, and is quite easily guided to action through visual and auditory cues from pop culture. Not every human being contains the capacity to raise this Kundalini energy above the level of the sacral area to attain higher awareness. And keeping the Kundalini fire discharged through sexual intercourse, quite literally maintains our physical realm through procreation.

            On that note, I challenge you, the reader; to recall some of the timeless pop songs of your time, and briefly scan them for the sexual Kundalini fire buzz words.

Permit me to share a few basic classics from a variety of pop generations.

“Is this burning an eternal flame” The Bangles

“Burning love” Elvis

“Come on baby light my fire” The doors

“The heat is on” Kenny Logins

“I will be the flame” Cheap Trick

“This girl is on fire” Alacia Keys

Occult scienc LBT            Allow me once more to share a few examples from Crowley/Aiwass, illustrating the occult agenda through Thelema based philosophy, to stimulate life through sexual intercourse. The following verses are directly sexually related, speaking in classic occult dialect to explain the sacred union of male and female energies. Cross reference key words in your own mind as you read, to remember any particular pop music lyrics that reflect in occult coding.

Liber Verse 6. I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star.

Liber Verse 15. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men.

Liber Verse 16. For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight.

Liber Verse 21. The Sun, Strength & Sight, Light; these are for the servants of the Star & the Snake.

Liber Verse 22. I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge & Delight and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship me take wine and strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet, & be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this.

Liber Verse 26. I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there is joy. If I lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one. If I droop down mine head, and shoot forth venom, then is rapture of the earth, and I and the earth are one.

Liber Verse 26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body.

Liber verse 27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!

Liber Verse 28. None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, and two.

Liber Verse 29. For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.

Liber Verse 50. There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways. The gross must pass through fire; let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star, system & system; let not one know well the other!

Liber Verse 54. But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me!

Liber Verse 57. Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will.

Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God.

Liber Verse 62. At all my meetings with you shall the priestess say -- and her eyes shall burn with desire as she stands bare and rejoicing in my secret temple -- To me! To me! calling forth the flame of the hearts of all in her love-chant.

62. I am uplifted in thine heart; and the kisses of the stars rain hard upon thy body.

74. There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son.

Spiritual fish            As we draw our topic to a close, its important to recognize that what is happening on our planet through the media streams of pop culture are both positive and negative. We are indeed much like the individual fish swimming within a collective school of millions. And while we are swayed in thought and direction by the unseen undercurrents at times, our work is to be aware of the currents source, and not simply move within the collective patterns unconsciously. As a conscious human being, you have more actual divine power that you can consciously imagine. Through the understanding of your greater nature, weather it be through a right or left hand spiritual practice, you develop a spiritual presence within the collective human body that your consciousness awareness swims within. As you evolve, you awaken, and as you awaken, you will inevitably come to see that your awareness extends not only into the entire collective body of humanity, but also throughout the entire energetic/Akashic Ocean that it appears to be swimming within.

            When emerged in the influences of pop culture, understand what is really happening, and why. There is no logic in going against the tides of collective evolution completely, as it is generally a neutral matter.
