GUIDEPOST 8-1: A SUMMARY DIALOGUE
INCORPORATING ALL ELEMENTS OF OT/MP

This summary will be organized for you to see all elements of OT/MP in the context of the whole.  An extended allegory is presented in which you can observe individuals consumed by the self importance of their egos as they plot to take over the world.  To seriously propose such a plot could seem outrageous and melodramatic at the outset. But in fact, OT/MP suggests that you assume just for this exercise, that there is such a plot, and that this plot is already well advanced.  Assume that multiple versions of such plots are being advanced by competing interests only one of which is likely to prevail.  Look behind the daily headlines to asses whether the story line in the allegory is closer to fact or fantasy.

The importance of this allegory is to reveal the intellectual vulnerability that must insure the failure of such plots.  The empowering dimension of this plot are the enormous egos of the conspirators.  The only serious question is how much damage, and to whom, will the wreckage of their plot eventually reveal.  Wholly vested in their ego intellects, they are Spiritually impoverished.  They believe that their exceptional intellectual capacities, combined with their ruthless determination to exploit the networks of power they command will win the day for them. They earnestly believe that their fondest ambitions for total world power will be fulfilled.  The Spiritual counterpoint that accompanies their plot will show that they are wrong, why they are wrong, and what you and I, and others, must do to stop them before their own foreordained failure creates the ultimate havoc that will be their only just reward, but which will consume all of us who have allowed it to come to pass.

Begin Concluding Summary
GUIDEPOST 8-2: INTRODUCTION TO THE ALLEGORY OF
THE SECRET SOCIETY OF POWER BROKERS AND POWER MONGERS
Copied from the Introduction to the Epilogue

First use what you have learned in OT/MP to examine your own C/consciousness.  Identify your own values and feelings about the nature of the actors as they are described in this evolving scenario.  With which group of actors do you most identify in terms of the worldly ambitions that you know you have, or have been serving? the power monger villains? the Master Watcher? or are you a Builder? Perhaps you find yourself cast in the only remaining role, as an apathetic, indifferent observer?  In the preface to OT/MP, I stated that our society is at war, and ever member is a soldier.  The battleground for this war is C/consciousness. 

How do you know which C/Consciousness you are?   Is their any difference in how you would have made major life decisions prior to your contact with OT/MP? What will you choose now?   If you experience uncertainty or confusion in response to the last two questions, meditate on the roots of this confusion or uncertainty.  Notice if and how your confusion or uncertainty may be resolved and change as you become immersed in the unfolding plot of the SSPBPM.


SPECIAL NOTE: TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO BEGIN READING OT/MP AT THIS POINT

You should have reviewed the nature of the villains and the Builders as defined and described in the introduction to this epilogue before linking to the allegory. 

You will find it very helpful to take the time to follow the links
to other elements of OT/MP, especially glossary terms and allegories,
when they are presented for review.


Your having a full grasp of MP's concepts as illustrated by this allegory really depends upon your having already engaged the preparatory material in all the prior dialogues. The prior dialogues, and their allegorical stories empower you to better grasp the significance of the counterpoint between the plotting of the Power Mongers and the parallel commentary by Spiritual beings, e.g., the Master Watcher.   Therefore, selected links will be provided to take you back to some of this preparatory material.  You are encouraged to avail yourself of these links, especially those that direct you to glossary definitions.   Use your browser's "back button" to return here from such digressions. 

Compared to the two alternative paths through OT/MP, [the dialogues or the Allegories and their didactic interpretations]  this path offers the most shallow understanding of the complex set of integrated Holistic concepts and principle that define OT/MP.   If you begin here as an overview, the advantage is to more quickly relate to the current challenges presented by predatory capitalism today, and its destructive byproducts.  This allegory permits you to immediately follow the step by step evolution of economic and political power and control from the outset of human civilization to its present day complexity.  In this complexity, this Allegory of the SSPBPM can reveal for you integrated nature of a variety of complex social dilemmas thus created that we must soon overcome.  Then you can go back and enter the more detailed dialogues for an enhanced conceptual understanding of the Holistic context of Outrageous Truth: A Mystical Paradigm.

Introduction of the Allegory
BEGIN THE ALLEGORY OF THE 
SECRET SOCIETY OF POWER BROKERS AND POWER MONGERS
AND THEIR INFERNAL CATECHISM
PART 1 OF 2
GUIDEPOST 8-3: INTRO TO THE ALLEGORY OF THE SSPBPM

The allegory begins with the master monger (mm) summarizing for his group of trusted henchmen the overall scope and status of their well advanced plot.  As you hear his expectations for victory in achieving world dominance, ask yourself where he is on the cone of Spiritual evolution.   Also ask where this person's agendas (dialogue 2) are located on the cone of the Maslow hierarchy of needs.  What communication traps (dialogue 3) are being ignored or exploited as he communicates with his followers upon whom he must depend to fulfill their assignments.  What is the nature of their HIP capabilities (dialogue 4) in the "necker cube" rooms of their consciousness.  What are the ego managed, intellectually limited power ploys they expect to successfully use in the advancement of their plot? Are they aware of their vulnerability to the Milgram Syndrome (obedience to authority, dialogue 5)  Do they intend to exploit it, are their counting on it to fulfill their scheme? 

How respectful are they to the Reality of Karma as the work out their scheme? (dialogue 6) How much of the effective Reality are they actually conscious of?   What type and degree of human weakness (Spiritual lack) must be present in sufficient numbers of their minions and the public for them to succeed?  What certain Karmic justice for the power mongers (pm) is being forged by the potential impact of their actions on innocent others? 

Where is any evidence of the element of Love being present within them, and as manifested in their plans, which element is essential to Spiritually Validate and contribute to the dimension of their plans?

Introduction to the Allegory
...
GUIDEPOST 8-4: THE MASTER MONGER (MM) INTRODUCES HIS PLOT AND HIS COCONSPIRATORS

As the master monger (mm) introduces his core group of coconspirators, begin to notice the counter point that is advanced by the Master Watcher (MW) and his new class of Builders. Honestly ask yourself, would you rather fulfill the rest of your life as an agent of the master power monger, his victim, or as a member of the class of Builders

As the details of the master monger's expectations are presented, do you see any evidence of this plan in the world to day?  Recall the information presented in the introductory dialogues.  Have you already made yourself a player in support of this plan?  Intentionally? or by default?  "No decision" is a decision by default to accept the role of victim.  But to become an agent of the power monger in order to materially benefit from that relationship is to accept a disastrous Karmic fallout.  Examine your deepest feelings around any such awareness.  Acknowledge them and move on.  Regardless of your choice, always remember the bottom line that will always prevail, without fail, and without exception:

Life is RAW! REALITY Always Wins!
Introduction of the coconspirators
GUIDEPOST 8-5: THE FUNDAMENTAL NATURE OF SECULAR POWER AS USED BY THE CONSPIRATORS

In this section of their plot, the mm  (master monger) introduces his coconspirators to the analogy by which personal power is "marked," and how various types and entities of power amplifiers may be described.  These symbolic functional descriptions make it easier to detect what is actually happening in the arcane worlds of finance and business as they play out across the media headlines.

You are being taught by the master monger how to conceptualize the creation, distribution, flow, and management of personal power through increasing levels of institutional and social complexity.

 The central idea behind their plot is for them to establish themselves as controllers over the acquisition of both material and human (people) power and resources as the SSPBPM pyramids these tools to the highest level of complexity over which they can exercise absolute control. 

The Nature of Power
GUIDEPOST 8-6: HOW THE POWER MONGERS (PM) PLAN TO AGGREGATE THEIR POWER

The following sequence reveals how the PMs plan to aggregate personal power across increasing levels of institutional and  social complexity. The application of power and force begins with the will and capability of the individual PM.  To prevail, like his counterpart, the alpha baboon, [in dialogue 2] he must be willing and capable in the ruthless use of physical force, one on one, with any challenger.  That core of  will and ruthlessness must remain as the PM acts to aggregate his personal power potential across the remaining nine levels of increasing subtlety and sophistication. 

To remain dominant at higher stages of social complexity, the PM must be able to acquire control over coalitions of individuals. These individuals are then orchestrated to function within various organizations of different kinds.  Disloyalty and non-compliance among his minions becomes the greatest sin.  As social complexity increases, the functions of human organizations and institutions must become more and more specialized to focus on explicit political, commercial, and social goals.  The PM must then act to acquire control of these organizations to coordinate them under an umbrella, ideally, under a single point of control.  In business, this organizational structure is  called a conglomerate. The PM's goal in collecting a conglomerate is to pyramid power by engulfing and consuming those specialized organizations capable of providing desired spheres of influence, power, and control.  These organizations (i.e., their CEO's and boards of directors) are chosen to be manipulated within the hierarchy of power and control. The criteria for choosing are defined by the PM's who manage the flagship organization. 

The engulfing of candidate organizations creates a hierarchy of potential for social influence and control which can be understood as a pyramid of power.   In such a plan, the mm  is assigning his co-conspirators to fulfill their specialized roles within that pyramid.   They are the extensions of his will. They act in his behalf to control the specialized suborganizational components that make up the master pyramid.  There can exist pyramids within pyramids. 

This aggregation of power is described across 10 stages that apply 20 explicit rules for accumulating, protecting, and using personal power.  These rules for control are applied from the top by the mm's trusted managers and co-conspirators, the SSPBPM.  Each member is assigned to orchestrate a separate function which manifests as a corporate and institutional element, e.g., bank, media, information, manufacturing, distribution, etc.  This capacity to orchestrate is required to complete and operate the whole of the power pyramid. 

Notice that this orchestration and the values that direct it
exist entirely in the ego of the power monger and its slave, the intellect.

Both those who serve in institutions within the power pyramid, and those external to it, all serve as either slaves or victims to the will and control by the mm's inner circle.   Are you a functionary in service to this scheme?   Are you in a position to thwart it, or "blow the whistle" in such a scheme?  What will happen if you, and others like you, choose to do nothing? 

[During this read, the Pilgrim may wish to first
access and review the simplified 10 stage outline of the hierarchy of power amplifiers
presented at the end of dialogue 4 on power and control.]

The 10 Level of Organized Personal Power
GUIDEPOST 8-7: HOW THE POWER MONGERS PLAN TO IMPLEMENT THEIR POWER

The final phase of SSPBPM  plan of conquest is to use their assembled pyramid to suddenly and ruthlessly suppress the rights of their workers and functionaries by means of the law that has been contrived to serve their purposes. This aspect of their plan is well underway in the discrediting and empowerment of worker unions, and the triumph of capital over work [Wolman & Colamosca, 1997 As "justified" by their array of laws contrived for their benefit, they begin to act through their enforcer personnel they have carefully placed throughout their power pyramid.  These personnel include not only the military and police, but special security personnel, moles, and clandestine operatives who have as their antecedents, the Nazi gestapo and Russian KGB.  Any hint of opposition (equals disloyalty) is ruthlessly and secretly snuffed out. 

At this point in their scheme, the bonds of the power monger's control are so tight there is no way for an opposition to form so as to grow a meaningful base of collaboration because the essential communications media is either co-opted, constrained, denied, or monitored.  The public is now "rewarded" for decades of apathy and indifference (well underway today.)  Those who are responsible for this neglect in the past and today will find themselves born again into the results of their neglect.  They will find themselves in bondage as literal economic and political slaves to their power monger masters.  Then begins decades, perhaps centuries, of decline until the initial discipline of the controlling coalition becomes enervated by inevitable internal war-of-all-against-all power struggles. This grows and abounds until ultimately, a critical mass of the tortured public finally reaches a point where it is better to die even in futile opposition than to serve under the evil that has consumed them.  Perhaps today's more cynical public will not wait as long as did the Jews of Warsaw's 1938 "Krystallnacht" ghetto.  They waited until it was too late and got the holocaust. 

Power Mongers Implementation Plan
GUIDEPOST 8-8: SUMMARY OF THE SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS OF POWER MONGERING

The values and attitudes surrounding the nature and use of personal power is a major indicator of the Spiritual Truth of an individual, an organization or institution, and the whole of a society.   Individuals from birth are nurtured in these values. They take on the quality of their family and society in all of its aspects and dimensions.  They are as oblivious to these influences as a fish is to the water in which it lives. 

Individuals in turn contribute to the Spiritual character of all that they influence, their friendship circles and family, their schools, communities, organizations, and the whole of society.  They are caught up in an interactive dance that is greatly influenced by the nature of their Karmic legacy, their level of Spiritual unfoldment, and the opportunities that they detect or the challenges they face in their life. 

Each person's challenge is to recognize that they are caught in a house of worldly mirrors whose illusions are created and interpreted by their ego intellect. They can only find their ultimate peace and identity through the door way of of an awakened and empowered Spiritual Consciousness.  Admission requires the entry key of initial Spiritual awakening.  Until their intellect is informed by a vital Spiritual Consciousness, they remain caught in an intellectual labyrinth of confusion, error, frustration, disappointment, heartbreak, and Spiritual death.   Examine the conditions in our society by these criteria. 

Now return to the remainder of the concluding epilogue of, Outrageous Truth: A Mystical Paradigm.  Examine your life from the summary of Spiritual Principles from which the allegory of the SSPBPM revealed itself.  Ask, "Where am I on the scale of Spiritual Unfoldment?  What is my next task?  What will I do?"

GUIDEPOST 8-9:  SUMMARY OF THE SECRET MEETING OF THE SSPBPM

The nature of this clandestine meeting reflects what may be happening at various gathering places that are favorite pleasure grounds of the power elite.  Some are formal conferences such as the Fortune Global World conference that met in Washington D.C. in mid November, 2002.  Leaders from all over the world met there to "conduct business" and to plot and scheme in the back rooms of various hotels.  But such meetings, although frequently held under different guises, are not as insidious as those meeting held by power monger conspirators. 

Consider for example the annual retreat held at a pleasure dome in  Bohemian Grove, California. Attendance there is by invitation only. Only selected CEOs, selected members of congress, federal agencies, and the military are invited, but no reporters.  Such meetings, we are told, are just for fun, just to get away, to gambol among the groupie flesh pots, to drink and play golf and cards. No business permitted or conducted.  Sure.
 

Summary of Secret Meeting of the SSPBPM
GUIDEPOST 8-10: CREDIBILITY & RELEVANCE OF THE PM CONSPIRACY THEORY

Conspiracies are almost impossible to prove because disguises and deceptions are part of their design.  At one level they seem so outrageous, but at another so reasonable.  Conspiracies of the kind presented in OT/MP do not begin as a fully formed plan,  They happen, like you know what.  At a crucial point, some organizing intellect, unencumbered by Spiritual Consciousness, suddenly perceives an opportunity to orchestrate a coup over some limited domain of control. He/she has the ambition, determination, and ruthlessness required by the goal, and is in the position to do it.   Success in such a coup breeds ambition.  Only after the power monger assembles a cadre of allies in his cause can the conjunction of subsequent events be correctly labeled a conspiracy. 

Nor are conspiracies as tidy and melodramatic as suggested in OT/MP for literary convenience.  The same fuzziness by which conspiracies coalesce and advance also makes them difficult to detect and track until they have nearly achieved their insidious goals.  OT/MP argues that there is such an informal conspiracy of power mongers today.  They are far more subtle than the Al Qaeda international terrorist conspiracy, but far more insidious, better organized and advanced than the public is capable of comprehending, or willing to admit if they do comprehend its presence.  Such a conspiracy functions under the real protections of our democratic ideals and principles, and is especially hidden within the sheltering and sacred myths of capitalism and our American "free" enterprise. 

To those who still wish to deny the assertions of OT/MP and not step out of their comfort zone to identify and deal with this conspiracy of power mongers, or if you remain fearful, reluctant or unwilling to risk taking action as a whistle blower or other activist, then you will do as you please.  But in doing so, you should remember that:

Life is RAW, and the dynamics of Karma and Reincarnation wait patiently in the wings to deliver their perfectly patient, perfect Justice to those deserving in accordance with the C/consciousness that creates and empowers their deeds. For this fate there can be no intellectual defense, no convenient alternative, no political escape route, no appeal to the "God of our fathers," and no controllable means of diluting the certain arrival of GOD's Perfect JUSTICE.  And so in the constant Presence of the Spiritual Principles outlined in OT/MP,  by design or by default, we will all make our choices.
Credibility and Relevance of the SSPBPM
GUIDEPOST 8-11:  SPECIAL APPENDIX: CORPORATE ABUSE EVIDENCE THROUGH 1993

This appendix is an unedited compilation of evidence from specialist writers in various aspects of the pyramid of power through 1993. These men and women have written credible criticism of abuses of power and control in aspects of our society in which they had become credible commentators.   This author has not had time to continue that critique into the current date, except as already included in OT/MP.  This information is provided for those who want to see that these preconditions required for the loss of our democratic freedoms was already well underway by the last two decades of the 20th century.  But the public slumbers and even continues to permit or promote the dominance of the right wing values and causes that nurture those preconditions. 

Review Appendix
GUIDEPOST 8-12: THE PROMISE OF A SPIRITUAL TOMORROW THAT BEGINS TODAY

The concluding text that follows suggests that humanity is in an ongoing state of both intellectual and Spiritual unfoldment.  We are heading toward an "omega zone" where each of us is a fully developed Spiritual life form. As such we are liberated from fear and worldly desire.  We are no longer enslaved by our ego and its intellect, and the compelling ego driven illusions and distraction with which it controls and torments us. 

Each of us is a Pilgrim a Sacred Being, destined to find our own Path to that destiny. But as of now, most do not know there is such a path, and many who do know have strayed from that path, seduced by the ego intellect to suffer the torments of the wilderness.  Listen to the voices crying in the wilderness.  We must help each other find and stay on the Path to that Sacred Destiny. The only valid and sure Spiritual Path is defined and directed as the Path of Love.

Overall Conspiracy Patterns
GUIDEPOST 8-13: 
INTRODUCING THE NEXT PHASE OF OT/MP

The first Phase of OT/MP is concluded.  The second phase  is in preparation.  Phase II will focus on applications of OT/MP.  The mediation project that has been presented here is accessible, but only in prototype form.   It will be revised to become integrated with OT/MP because the basic concepts of C/consciousness and the three ego overlays are more fully developed in OT/MP than in the prototype mediation section.  Then there will be additional applications of the principles of OT/MP to create cradle to grave tribal communities, a three tier economic system, governance that is informed by the ideas of Plato's Republic, Spiritual interventions for a unique form of criminal rehabilitation, and dynamic educational programs grounded in Spiritual (not religious) principles. 

Completion of Phase II depends upon sufficient donations to recover the cost 
of Phase I and afford Phase II, and the ongoing maintenance costs of the site. 

There is also a need for collaboration by professionals who are specialists in selected areas. 

Phase II is planned for release in late 2005.
