**FINAL TRANSCRIPTION**
=====================================================
You re listening to the Hour of the Time. I m your host, William Cooper.
Tonight, ladies and gentleman, we begin the origin, the history, the dogma, and
the identity of the ancient Mystery Religions, which are now known as the Myster
y Schools, the Order of the Quest, Freemasonry, the Ancient Order of the Rose an
d Cross, The Knights Templar, the Sovereign and Military Order of the Knights of
Malta, the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, the [i]Prieuré de Sion[/i], the Thu
le Society, or sometimes known as the Thuley Society, the Order, the Skull and B
ones, the Russell Trust, the Jason Society, the Scroll and Key, the Illuminati,
and I could go on, and on, and on, and on.
But the most important thing to realize is that they all have been collectively
known throughout the ages as the Mystery Schools. The Illuminati, which literall
y means, "illumined ones". International Socialism, Communism, they are all one
and the same as you will come to know, and you will understand perfectly how the
y've been able to infiltrate all of our society.
What you hear tonight does not necessarily reflect my views, or beliefs, or reli
gion...nor those of WWCR.
(opening music: [i]I Can See Clearly Now[/i], written by Johnny Nash, performed
by Liza Minnelli)
That song will have a clearer meaning to you as we progress in your education in
to the Mystery Religion. But we have to begin in the beginning, with every story
and every history. And we have to begin at the beginning of mankind. And the be
ginning is the beginning according to the Mystery Religion. And they believe, wh
oleheartedly, that man is a product of evolution, not of an extraterrestrial rac
e, and not of the creation of some benevolent god.
"[They believe that] the tree-dwelling ancestors of man were among the most inte
lligent beings of their distant age.
"And when these creatures finally abandoned the trees and walked fully upright,
freeing their hands to serve as implements of their minds as well as their bodie
s, there began the most successful evolutionary drive toward higher intelligence
ever witnessed in Nature.
"As ground dwellers, these creatures were easy victims of the great predators, w
ho hunted them down by day and surprised them at night as they huddled in cleari
ngs or in caves. They could not compete in strength, ferocity or speed with thei
r attackers. Armed with little except their hands and what their complex brains
enabled them to do with those hands, they had to think or die. For untold thousa
nds of years most of them met early, violent deaths. Only a few in each generati
on had the good fortune and the ability to outwit their enemies. [And] these fav
ored ones survived long enough to have and rear offspring. The unwary, maladroit
or stupid died early. [William Cooper: And folks, I'm afraid that the stupid, w
ho live today, are going to die early also. But back to the beginning.] Their o
ffspring, if they had any, were left to starve or be eaten by predators.
"Natural selection was operating on the earliest types of man with grimmest inte
nsity. Perhaps no other extant creature has undergone so severe and protracted a
period of selective elimination. Yet here and there small groups managed to sur
vive because they had the intelligence to use sticks, stones and clubs to defend
themselves. Crude and puny as these implements were, they were [i]weapons[/i] a
nd their possessors were the first creatures who could kill without having to co
me in direct contact with their antagonists.
"'As the great beasts grew larger and either faster or more formidable, man beca
me ever more watchful, ever more successful in pitting his wits against mass and
power, more and more adept at slipping out of trouble, and as the challenge gre
w greater, so did his brain, for the laggards on both sides got left behind in t
he race for the future.' [Quoted from Norman J. Bernill's [i]Man's Emerging Mind
[/i]]"
[William Cooper]: ...and we are still engaged in that race for the future.
"The steps in the development, of man's brain are revealed by the progressively
larger braincases which appeared with the passage of centuries. Basing our judgm
ent on the improvements in tools and weapons which took place as the intelligenc
e of their inventors increased, we can construct some of the ways in which natur
al selection may have worked to bring about a doubling in size of the human brai
n.
"Many edible nuts are too hard for even a caveman to crack between his teeth. Ac
cordingly, they were useless to early man, until some genius of his day discover
ed that any nut could be opened if it were just placed up on one stone and stuck
hard with another. Better fed, the family of this innovator proliferated while
the others died off.
"Perhaps centuries later, while a man sat cracking nuts between two stones, one
stone broke and the broken edge cut his hand. Previously, men in the same situat
ion had thrown the broken stone away and nursed their cuts. But this man, this m
an started thinking. [William Cooper: He possessed an original thought.] Since t
he edge had cut through his skin and drawn blood, it might also cut through the
skin of the small animals he caught, making it easier to get at the meat. The fi
rst knife was invented! He and those close to him, and those intelligent enough
to imitate him, increased in number [William Cooper: and the rest died off]. The
y had a cutting tool which made it possible for them to skin and eat meat in les
s time, so they had more time for hunting. Many of the descendants of this excep
tional man became increasingly skillful at breaking and chipping hard stones int
o sharper tools and weapons."
[William Cooper]: And if you ve been to a museum of natural history, and you ve seen
these fine, beautiful flint arrowheads and spearheads, then you know that it to
ok patience and great skill, and this means a further development of the human m
ind.
"Natural selection, favoring better knife makers, went on for hundreds of thousa
nds of years [William Cooper: according to those who guard the Secrets of the Ag
es, and even according to modern science].
"A great many centuries later a young father foraging for his brood, may have co
me upon a long straight stick, splintered at one end. [Well] he pulled and chewe
d at the splinters until only one stout point was left [William Cooper: or at le
ast that's how we can imagine that it was done]. It seemed to him a very useful
stick, for it was sharper than the digging sticks, which the women used. He may
have remembered a night during his boyhood, when a great cat had charged his fam
ily's campsite and dragged away a younger sister. Now that he had small children
of his own, the memory of that attack was ever present. Lately, he had seen fre
sh panther tracks. Another family, not far away, had been attacked and the mothe
r had been killed. His dawning intelligence told him his pointed stick might be
a better weapon against big cats than the clubs which he and the other men carri
ed. [So] for many days he kept the long stick near him, even when he was laughed
at for having what was regarded as a woman s tool."
[William Cooper]: Not only did he possess a greater intellect than his fellow ma
n, but he possessed more courage to resist their laughter.
"Then one night, he heard a faint rustling. He whispered a quick warning to his
family. Suddenly, a dim shape charged at him in the darkness. Kneeling, he raise
d the point of his long stick toward the beast. It sprang, clawed at him savagel
y, then fled! The creature had struck the point so hard that the blunt end of th
e stick was shoved deep, deep into the ground.
"Next morning, following a trail of blood, the man found a panther dead from a p
unctured chest. The long, sharp stick had saved his life and the lives of his fa
mily members. In the same situation less perceptive men, armed only with clubs,
would have been killed.
"From that time he, his sons and their sons, carried impaling sticks whenever bi
g predators were near. Foresight, genetically transmitted to their descendants,
had given them a new weapon, which they used with devastating effect against the
ir natural enemies.
"Perhaps many generations later a bright descendant of the inventor of the impal
ing stick mated with the daughter of a man who had thought of throwing a club at
fruits, nuts and small animals on the lower branches of trees. Now and then, th
is brought down an extra meal.
"The man who knew how to defend his family from feline prowlers soon learned fro
m his woman the new way to collect additional food. [And] their young family thr
ived and some of the children, with good mental inheritance from both sides of t
he family, showed an even higher order of intelligence than either of their pare
nts.
With impaling sticks added to their clubs and cutting stones, men no longer had
to be such furtive food gatherers. The hunted gradually evolved into hunters. An
d in times of famine when battles over food were fierce, those with impaling sti
cks threw them with deadly accuracy at members of other hunting bands. Sharper s
tone knives and spears gave a double survival advantage during times of crisis,
but the most telling gains were the increasing sharpness of minds.
"'However incomplete our knowledge of human ancestry, there [was] scarcely any d
oubt that the development of brain power, of intelligence, was the decisive forc
e in the evolutionary process which culminated in the appearance of the species
to which we belong. Natural selection [they believe] has brought about the evolu
tionary trends towards increasing brain power because brain power confers enormo
us adaptive advantages on its possessors. It is obviously brain power, not body
power, which makes man, by far, the most successful, biological species which li
ving matter has produced.' [quote from Theodosius G. Dobzhansky's book, [i]Evolu
tion, Genetics and Man[/i]]"
"[Even with man's new weapons and tools] it did not take him very long to decide
that in this world the single greatest enemy to be feared was the darkness of n
ight, and all the unknown dangers that came with it. Simply stated, 'MAN'S FIRST
ENEMY WAS DARKNESS.'
"Understanding this one fact alone, one can readily see why the greatest and mos
t trustworthy friend the human race could ever have was, by far, heaven's greate
st gift to the world...that Glorious Rising Orb of Day [the Sun]."
[William Cooper]: And with this simple truth understood, we can now begin to unr
avel the most ancient, and still the most successful, religion upon the face of
this earth. Its success lies in its ability to remain hidden from the rest of th
e people. But first, let me assure you, folks, that no people of the ancient wor
ld believed that the Sun to be God. In point of fact, every ancient culture and
nation on earth have all used the Sun as the most logically appropriate symbol t
o represent the glory of the unseen creator of the heavens. In the Old Testament
, it says, The heavens are declaring the glory of God. That's in Psalms 19, verse
1. In the Old Testament, The sun of righteousness will arise. Malachi, chapter 4,
verse 2.
"The ancient peoples reasoned that no one on Earth could ever lay claim of owner
ship to the Great Orb of Day. It must belong to the unseen Creator of the Univer
se...[It became], figuratively speaking, not man's, but 'GOD'S SUN'. Truly, 'God
's Sun/Son was...THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
"As I stated before, [folks,] in the dark cold of night man realized his utter v
ulnerability to the elements. Each night, mankind was forced to wait for the [ri
sing of the sun] to chase away the physical and mental insecurity brought on by
the darkness. Therefore, the morning Sun focused man's attention on heavenly dep
endence for his frail, short existence on Earth, and in doing so, it became the
appropriate symbol of divine benevolence from heaven."
[William Cooper]: For without the sun, there was no light, there was no warmth,
and nothing could grow or live upon the face of this earth. So, just as a small
fire brought limited light into man's own little world of darkness, likewise, th
e great fire of day served the whole earth with its heavenly presence. For this
reason, it was said that the God of the Bible was a consuming fire in heaven, an
d so he was.
"It was accepted by all that man was bound to a life on Earth, but the sky was t
he [William Cooper: abode of God's son. He resided up there, in heaven].
"Ancient man saw in his male offspring his own image and likeness, and his own e
xistence as a father was proved by the person of his son. It was assumed that Go
d s 'Sun' was but a visible representative of the unseen Creator in heaven. So it
was said, 'When you have seen the Sun, you have seen the Father.' [Said another
way,] 'The Father is glorified in his Sun.'
"Ancient man [William Cooper: even with his limited intelligence at that time] h
ad no problem understanding that all life on Earth depended directly on life-giv
ing energy from the Sun. Consequently, all life was lost without the sun. It fol
lowed that God's 'Sun' was nothing less than [man's savior].
"Since...energy from the Sun gave life, and we sustained our very existence by t
aking energy in from our food (which came directly from God s Sun), the Sun must g
ive up its life supporting energy so that we may continue to live. 'God s Sun [mus
t give] his life for us to live.'"
[William Cooper]: I know that if you are intelligent out there listening, you ar
e making some connections here. You see, the Mystery Schools believe that Christ
ianity is a perversion of the Mysteries.
"While it was plainly true that our life came from and was sustained each day by
'Our Savior...God's Sun', it was and would be true only as long as the Sun woul
d return each morning. [And] our hope of salvation would be secure only in a 'RI
SEN' savior. For if he did not rise from his grave of darkness, all would be los
t. All the world waited for his 'imminent return' [each morning]. The...Father w
ould never leave us at the mercy of this world of darkness. [The] Heavenly promi
se...was surely that...'He would come again'...to light our path, and save those
lost in the darkness...
"Logically, even if man himself died, as long as the Sun comes up each day, life
on Earth will continue forever. Therefore, it was said in the ancient texts tha
t everlasting life was 'the gift'...the Father gives through his Sun. For... 'Go
d so loved the world that he gave his only begotten SUN that we may have life ev
erlasting'...on Earth! [William Cooper: And the ancient text did not mean] for y
ou personally - but ON EARTH...everlasting life!"
[William Cooper]: That is the interpretation of the Mystery Schools.
"Since evil and harm lurked at every turn in the fearful dark of night, all evil
or harmful deeds were naturally, the...'works of darkness.'
"[And] with the return of the Sun each morning, man felt more secure in his worl
d and therefore, was at peace. Therefore, God's 'Sun' was with his warm rays of
hope...The Great 'Prince of Peace'.
"And of course the reverse was equally true. The...evil of night was ruled over
by none other than...[the] 'Prince of Darkness' [William Cooper: Hence, evil is
of the dark, or the Devil]."
It was only a short step to see [that] 'The Light of God's Sun' equated with [ri
ghteousness and] truth - and evil with darkness. From then on, it was simple to
understand...LIGHT was GOOD - DARK was BAD."
[William Cooper]: And the priests of the ancient Mystery Religion always followe
d the light. They always looked toward the East. They considered themselves to b
e illumined.
"That being true, then the Great Orb of Day (God's Sun) could rightly say of its
elf [that], 'I AM THE LIGHT' [and the truth].
"We should all [William Cooper: in their words, not mine] 'give thanks' to the F
ather for sending us His 'Sun'..."
[William Cooper]: ...spelled S-U-N, in case some of you are getting confused. In
every instance where I have mentioned the word [i]sun[/i], it has been in refer
ence to the sun, S-U-N.
"For the peace and tranquility he brings to our life is even called 'Solace' [Wi
lliam Cooper: solace is from the word solar, which means sun]..."
[William Cooper]: Are you beginning to see the light? (laughs)
"We now have before us two cosmic brothers - one very good, and one very [bad].
One brings the 'truth to light' with the 'light of truth'. The other is the oppo
site, or in opposition to the light - 'The Opposer'...[the] Prince of [the] Worl
d of Darkness...
"It is at this point...we come to Egypt. More than 3,000 years before Christiani
ty began, the early morning [Sun, the Savior] was pictured in Egypt as the 'New
Born Babe'. The infant savior's name was 'HORUS'.
"The early morning Sun, or 'New Born Babe', was pictured in two ways: the Dove -
[known as the] Bringer of Peace, the Hawk - [the] God of War (who punishes the
enemies of God!)."
[William Cooper]: Today, in government, we still use these terms, doves and hawk
s, and that s how powerful this hidden religion is; is that we use the terms of th
is religion even today and know it not.
"At daybreak, this wonderful newborn child is of course 'Born Again' (hallelujah
). Horus is Risen. [William Cooper: That is what [i]hallelujah[/i] means.] Even
today, when the Sun comes up, we see it on the "Horus-Risen", or "HORIZON". His
life was also divided into 12 parts or 12 'Horus=hours' [William Cooper: the twe
lve signs of the Zodiac].
"But now, what about the evil brother of God's Sun, that...old Prince of Darknes
s himself? In the Egyptian belief system he was called 'SET' [William Cooper: or
sometimes Typhon]. We are told in the Bible that when God's Sun died, the world
was left in the hands of the Prince of Darkness at... SUN-SET."
[William Cooper]: SUN-SET. Do you understand? God's Sun was killed by the Prince
of Darkness, "SET", at SUN-SET.
"It was generally observed that 'God's Sun' could be depended upon to return in
the same manner that he left - namely, 'On a Cloud'...and 'Every eye will see Hi
m'...(unless, of course, you're blind or dead).
"Keeping in mind that 'God's Sun' not only represented the [u]light[/u] of truth
, but was [u]put to death[/u] by His enemies who could not endure the light of t
ruth in their life, it was taught by the ancients that the very act of opposing
or denying the light of truth to the point of killing it, happened in one's own
mind! When we are confronted with harsh realities of life [the truth], the light
of truth, which we do not wish to face, and which runs counter to our views, su
ch truth is [u]put to death[/u] by your mind, and in your [u]head[/u]! Therefore
, 'God's Sun' - The Truth and The Light - is put to death at the 'PLACE OF THE S
KULL,' or 'SKULL PLACE,' located somewhere between your ears! This putting to de
ath of the light of hope in your mind is always accompanied by the two thieves:
[b]Regret[/b] for the past and [b]Fear[/b] of the future."
[William Cooper]: Don t go away folks, we have to take a short break. I'll be back
right after this pause.
