PSIOPS
Wizards and Spooks
There is a tradition of Spooks and Wizards consorting since Elizabethan spymaster Walsingham recruited magus John Dee for his MI spy network. The unholy alliance continues to this day in Psionics and Psychotronics and PsiOps - the weaponization of the occult arts, even if under new "more scientific" names.
The modern version spawned psionics, psychotronics, and PsiOps – the weaponization of occult mental focus. Extreme psychic countermeasures and attack can range from attacks on the energy body to organs of the target. Usually, the specific target in arcane assassination is the heart or brain – heart attack or stroke are the methods of choice.
Walsingham proved that intelligence equaled power. He recruited educated young men--like playwright Christopher Marlowe--random lowlifes, and traveling merchants. Hmmm, writers, jugglers and magicians, again? Magicians and alchemists have always made potions, nostrums, tonics, even poisons. It is part of their stock in trade.
Dee is probably best known for his deep involvement in skrying, magic and mystery. The Elizabethan Magus advanced the fields of mathematics, mapmaking, and navigation. His interests included alchemy, mysticism, and astrology. Dee's personal library was one of the largest in Europe. His obsessions, like Crowley’s, also included the pursuit of angels and spirits; he claimed to summon the divine secrets of the universe from angels and archangels.
Following the examples of his predecessors, Crowley’s promotion of drugs, used for induced psychotic states and sexual abandon, was followed by Tavistock Institute sponsorship. His contemporary Carl Jung (1975-1961) provided the science; Crowley laid down the hedonistic drug, sex, and magick philosophy. Both saw the death of the old society but not the psychedelic rebirth of the new paradigm.
With his slow-motion magick, his long-term intentional influence, it was Crowley who eventually pulled the cosmic trigger on a cultural revolution with an unlikely accomplice – the CIA. The infamous MK Ultra program of the CIA dosed unsuspecting CIA officials with LSD, and their reactions were studied like "guinea pigs".
Later, acid was turned on the unsuspecting general population. Curiously, the LSD “counter-culture” of the 1960s, the “student revolution”, was financed by $25 million from the CIA to deliberately ruin the peace movement. LSD use continues at a steady rate in the youth drug scene throughout generations; it just doesn't get the press it once did..
In their own CIA Black Ops program, Astral travel became Remote Viewing and psychism became Psychotronics, weaponized ESP influencing the mindbody of another at a distance, often with malevolence. It gave new meaning to ESPionage. Crowley’s occult fighting with MacGregor Mathers is well known and perhaps the exemplar of psychic attack.
Psychedelic cults took root in the U.S. and spread from San Francisco to Europe. The mystic arts, such as astrology and tarot became commonplace. Though he didn’t live to see it, Crowley got his New Age, even if the results seem a little childish or narcissistic to those of a more mature disposition. Broader than reform, deeper than revolution, this benign conspiracy for a new human agenda triggered chaotic cultural evolution even if polarity and stress undergird it.
The Flower Children and drugs and free sex Hippies were followed by disenfranchised punks and disillusioned postmoderns and skeptical cyberfreaks. The Internet and cell phones have made voluntary ESP possible and soon we will have direct Brain-Computer interface.
Aquarian Conspirators, 1980’s pioneers of social transformation, embodied the cultural imprint of Tavistock vision (Whole Earth Conspiracy). They used their mindbodies and PCs in the battle toward a higher consciousness, networking and urging a paradigm shift to a more mindful society.
The way to heal the imbalances is to heal ourselves. Tools are shapers of their users, individuals fall into the thrall of institutions, "development" can be a trap.The way to heal ourselves is to pay attention, to witness, to share wisdom. But the wounds that won’t heal are the programmed personality disorders – neurotic childishness, self-absorption or immaturities promoted by the Tavistock agenda in schools, media, and therapy.
“New Age” is an umbrella term to describe organizations which seem to exhibit one or more of the following beliefs: (1) All is one, all reality is part of the whole; (2) Everything is God and God is everything; (3) Man is God or a part of God; (4) Man never dies, but continues to live through reincarnation; (5) Man can create his own reality and/or values through transformed consciousness or altered states of consciousness.
Whip Me; Beat Me; Call Me Thelema
Due in part to his outrageous exploits and the legends attributed to him, Crowley gets mixed reviews. Certainly, there was mystical insight and prophetic wisdom in Crowley’s enigmatic writings. But it remains unknown to what extent he was able to ‘seize the noble fruit’ himself, beyond his ostentatious claims.
Nevertheless, he’s been accused of everything from being the “wickedest man on earth” to being the potential father of Barbara Bush! Outlandish stories about Crowley still arise phoenix-like, much like Jimi Hendrix releasing posthumous albums. There are also rumors of his espionage, being Hitler’s programmer during his breakdown in 1918 at Pasewalk military hospital. Crowley bragged that Adolf was his guinea pig or magickal child. (Blackraiser)
"The Great Beast 666" -- the infamous practitioner of "sex magick" whose motto was "Do What Thou Wilt" – did meet Pauline Robinson Pierce, Barbara’s mother, through a mutual libertine friend, Frank Harris. Most likely it is viral nonsense that Barbara is Crowley’s love child. Yet, the story is typical of how others relentlessly project onto the legendary mind bending Magus, even retroactively. But somehow the math adds up to Barbara’s birth nine months after her abrupt departure!
She was a beautiful young socialite married to a publisher. In 1924 she went to France, where she fell in with the mistress of Frank "My Life and Loves" Harris, Crowley's patron. The idea is that the impressionable Mrs. Pierce then came under the spell of Crowley, once described by a newspaper as "the wickedest man in the world”. It is even suggested that Barbara was conceived during a "sex magick" ritual. Do we hear the words "DNA test"?
A world traveler and adventurer, Crowley was always keen for any game that was afoot. Could his sidelines have included cultural engineering and global espionage? Did he insinuate himself into the Great Game of international spying? He certainly tried, as did his friend James Bond creator, Ian Fleming who recommended him to debrief Rudolph Hesse. Some say it’s plausible he was an Intel asset, others find it certain based on discoveries of hard evidence. (Spence)
Besides a few centuries of secret societies and revolutionary thought, what inspired Crowley’s quest? Did it overlap or was it co-opted by other organizations for their own purposes? Did this Strange Attractor willingly cooperate or, as usual, keep his thought processes unknown as his behavior was enigmatic?
The Crowley meme is still bending minds toward their True Will (Thelema), so perhaps he engineered one of the most successful mind control ops in history. In some ways he was the spiritual godfather of the counterculture, having influenced many popular figures.
Perhaps by alchemically combining sources from both the left and right political wings we can approach the truth – or at least The Middle Way -- even if it remains indelibly mythologized. The left-handed path of libertarianism and radical hedonism is counterpoint to the Right pillar preference for authoritarian, aristocratic rule and classical culture – autarchy vs. totalitarianism. Crowley’s behavior reveals a penchant for both.
