Hi folks. This is Alan Watt. It is November 23rd, 2006.
Tonight I'm bowing to a little bit of pressure. I don't normally bow to any kind of pressure but this will tie in with some of the talks I've given in the past and it's about the culture creation industry, how ideas are downloaded into people's minds via fiction primarily and using high drama. High drama with emotion plus crisis situation in a movie and drama is a tremendous method of getting points across. It's almost like coupling an idea with the drama and it's downloaded like a virus into your subconscious and you're being programmed and it's called "predictive programming."
The technique is ancient and it's an old science. Plato in his Republic talks about the culture industry of his own day and how it was essential not only for maintaining control over the people by the elite but they had to control everything that was given to the public. In other words, anything the public saw in drama on stage was authorized. Not only was it authorized, in ancient Greece traveling troops of players would come into the cities and do their rounds and it was compulsory to attend. Everyone, even the slaves, had to attend at least one performance because just like today they had their agenda and their schedule and the upgrading of the system and it was done primarily through fiction, because the old saying is "monkey see, monkey do" and we emulate what we see, especially when it’s done in the typical hero and heroin form.
The male will project himself into the hero's part and identify with the hero character; and the female—well, at least in the old days before all the vast estrogen stuff in our food and so on and inoculations—the females used to look towards the heroin. This is an ancient, ancient science. It's never ever given up and actors are hereditary. The families in acting can go back probably hundreds, some of them maybe thousands of years. Specialized sections of society, once more, and they marry each other and intermarry within even smaller ranks.
What's more interesting is the producers, the magicians you might say, who understand and have a full grasp of what is to be conveyed to the audience, what messages must be imprinted in their minds and he knows the techniques and how to do this perfectly, a perfect science.
Now what's interesting is that back in the 1960's, The Royal Institute of International Affairs and its American branch, the Council on Foreign Relations, had one of their international meetings. They held it in England to decide which country using its film industry would create the international culture of the future and this was in the newspapers back then. I think it was two or three week long meeting and it was ultimately agreed upon that Hollywood would be given the job to create the worldwide culture for the public for a global society and it would also be coupled with the music industry because obviously they go hand-in-glove, as Plato said, plus the fashion industry. Plato mentioned that too, and he called it "the fashion industry" in ancient Greece.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same" and if something works you don't want to change it. Why change it? The formula of human behavior is just a science. Each part of the direction that you want it to go into is just the ability to understand the formulas involved and then what buttons to push in what sequence; and if it's done in the right way, the right presentation, with the right propaganda, the public will react and do exactly as they've been programmed to do. It's worked in the past. It will work in the future.
That's why they're utterly confident that they can change society even back to infanticide if they wish to because they've done that in ancient Greece where it was taught and practiced there. Therefore anything can be reintroduced if it's been done in human society before. You just have to know the formula to introduce it.
"Act Naturally (1965)"
By Buck Owens
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I got to do is act naturally
Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.
Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally.
Hollywood, this amazing industry, probably one of the biggest exports now; maybe the only one left in the U.S. apart from the military. Hollywood is called the Holly Wood, 'holy wood'. The 'Holy Wood' of course is the staff of the magi, of the Grand Magus in the occult. He waves the wand and everything is altered, changed. He casts a spell and it's portrayed even in the cartoons with Mickey Mouse with his little wand as he's dressed like the wizard and little five-pointed stars come from the wand – earth, air, fire, water, spirit –the five points. That's what it means. High drama and in the ancient Middle Eastern legends all the holy men there had their staff. We even find it in the Old Testament as Moses has the little contests with the pharaoh’s magi and they play at changing sticks back into snakes and back again, which is a good trick.
However, the trick of conducting a spell over the audience is by using a staff, the 'Holy Wood'. The Holy Wood also on another level is the grove because in ancient times and in the present times the bigger boys like to meet in specialized places across the planet in their holy groves. Very, very important. There's much more to this, even in Jewish folklore about the groves and Moses' brass serpent that was coiled around the staff they had made. It’s all allegory of course for something else, which I understand, but supposedly it was a place it was placed in a grove surrounded by trees and that was a special place for the higher magi to meet.
I'll be going into some movies that will show you the understanding within Hollywood, at least in the director's part. May of the actors don't even understand it themselves but the directors and producers certainly do and some of the bigger ones are given the information and they're advised on how to get it across to the public. It's not that they have geniuses within Hollywood per se or that they have special insight through a crystal ball into the future. It's because their job is to program us as we go into the future, always. Hollywood has been an essential part of government especially in the United States.
There are books out on Hollywood's involvement with making war movies. They churned out I don't know how many war movies in World War II and they had the full cooperation of the American military and the use of squadrons of tanks and ships and everything to make it very, very realistic to get the recruitment going to fight the Natzis and then the Japanese. Tremendous part of propaganda and it's never stopped and even today the Pentagon admits they've funded some of the bigger movies to do with war, "Jarhead" and all this kind of nonsense, to get the young guys in for recruits.
Now just jumping back a little bit into the 1500's, a period of tremendous change in Europe, when the Rosicrucians were coming out into the open and recruiting heavily amongst what was then the up-and-coming middle class youth, especially those involved in sciences. Science is very important to them and a whole bunch of characters were around the court of Queen Elizabeth I, very important people in an important age. You can find John Dee there; Fludd was there as well and Fludd is the man primarily responsible for the creation of the Globe Theater, which was for Shakespearean plays.
Nothing is by accident and Robert Fludd was also an alchemist. He was involved in architecture in the hermetic tradition, which means that they wanted to united heaven and earth, always the same hermetic tradition, the unification of both spirit and matter and the perfection of the world—in their eyes, of course. They knew and always did know that the understanding was for those "in the know". For the profane and the masses they would simply be slaves. They had no qualms about differentiating themselves as a higher class of people, a specialize type, an intellectual type.
And Stratford-upon-Avon, if you break it down, it means 'a straight ford upon Avon (the river)', and 'a ford' is to cross a river and if you draw it you have the shape of a cross and they always say "you meet the devil at the crossroads." Avon is NOVA, new; so it’s the "New Straight Cross". That's what it meant.
Shakespeare or Jacques Pierre (the priest of the father) was the magician who brought basically the English language into being as we know it. It's been upgraded since but that was a major upgrade in that particular period. Before that, Chaucer had upgraded the last one with "Canterbury Tales" and other writings. Before that, it was Old Norse and Saxon German that the people spoke. A new language was created scientifically. It's fully encoded of course and it's a pity as well because we've lost so much of it. We're losing so many words that eventually we won't be able to convey anything to anyone else with any precision and that's called "linguistic minimalism," a technique which is also been used on the public because the children for a long time (have been for generations) have been getting their vocabulary from the media and from the music and the heroes that they follow. God help us if we all end up following the sports teams' members; because if you want linguistic minimalism, when they interview these players after a match, you've got it right there.
The 1500's was a tremendously important time. It was also as I say the introduction of the hermetic thought, the perfection of man, which means more than just a superficial perfection. They're talking about going all the way into the real religion, which is to recreate that which was separated from God and that goes back to the allegory of Adam and Eve; because in the separation Adam retained the spirit that was given; whereas Eve was given the ability to recreate humanity, to give humanity offspring. That's the big secret in Masonry and that's why they don't really appreciate women so much, "they have no spirit," and Albert Pike said that, that the woman can only reflect the light of her husband. He is the sun, she is the moon. The moon has no light of its own. It reflects light from the sun. This is all their put-down of the female and the perfection would be when they united the two together. It's an ancient, ancient religion. It's pre-Judaic and they've never lost sight of this goal where everything will be in harmony, supposedly, again according to them, but then they do give you their ending at the beginning. That's the trick of religion, to give you a beginning which really is their end.
Getting back to the 1500's, Queen Elizabeth I sponsored these Rosicrucians to write plays and she attended most of them herself. Christopher Marlow was probably the odd man out because he wrote about this hermetic group who were bringing the occult into their stage plays and because of that he exposed too much. It's debatable if he was one of them himself and said too much or if he was actually truly opposing them, but he was like Dagobert long before him. He was stabbed through the eye, which is the Masonic technique for "one who sees too much."
There is so much I could go into and it's a shame in a sense to do this as a spontaneous blurb off the top of my head, but at the moment time is of the essence and so everything is pretty well spontaneous. What I'll concentrate on tonight are a few movies which have been very telling in information and their understanding of the system and also as always you have your predictive programming, because in the revelation of the method in high esoteric circles you can also put in there an idea of inevitability as well. It familiarizes us with an idea so that when it actually comes into place we accept it without question as somehow being normal.
I'd like to talk about the movie called, "Network" which came out in 1976. A story about a guy working as a TV anchorman who gets kind of messianic brainstorm one day and starts telling the truth to the public and one of his statements is, "you're the real people" (to the audience), "we're fake," when he realizes that the audience are trying to emulate a fiction because everything you see on television is a fiction. It's directed. It's produced. It's not spontaneous. Guests when they’re on a question-answer show of any kind have the preplanned questions there.
I watched a little blurb about Kissinger and found out when he came to Canada the guy who manages Kissinger (and they're all managed too) had a suggested set of questions they could ask Kissinger and anything not on that list would simply not be answered or they can walk off the set. There's nothing spontaneous on television. Everything that's produced is fake. It's fake. It's an essential arm of controlling your mind, always has been.
In the movie "Network" as he had these convulsive fits and he comes out with the messianic announcements, in a comical fashion, he says a lot of truth and eventually he's called up to see one of the big boys, one of the big guys who run the system, who runs it and the guy tells him. He says, "there is no America." He says, "everything is just one vast corporation, an association of corporations. There's no Britain. There's no America. There's no Holland. There's no China. There's no Russia. It's just one conglomerate group of corporations. Money runs the thing."
That is true because that is how it is. The economy. Everything beginning with
