this one has a bunch of stuff i havent seen before
"Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. For in a civilization equipped with immense technological power, the sense of alienation between man and nature leads to the use of technology in a hostile spirit---to the "conquest" of nature instead of intelligent co-operation with nature." -Alan Watts /
the gnostics say the same thing regading something they call 'archons', and the book of enoch refers to 'watchers'.

the thing is about this whole thing is that people have been made to think all this stuff is fantastic on purpose. but magick is very old, and is just basically, with this style, a way to invoke energies for service to this 'great work', which would be the invocation and manifestation of the top of the demonic or what have you pyramid...the capstone....so they are trying to invoke the prince of darkness or whatever you want to call it into manifestation and some attempt at overt rulership.
these symbols are not used by chance. they are in fact magickal talismans that serve an energetic function and impact consciousness.
some material i have read considers the greys and probably the reptile beings that are said to exist as the 'fallen ones' referred to in various religious texts.
the problem in fact is that simply by removing people from office you only end up with another. so this whole thing is a spiritual/energetic root cause, and until that is removed, you are simply not going to be able to do anything except stave it off for a time until it returns in another form.
of course, this is exactly what you see happening in government and various areas.
