There are indications that ancient (antediluvian) peoples may have passed beyond the barrier separating physical science from supernatural occultism, invading the forbidden (for our own good) realm of supernatural forces underlying the observable physical universe. Researcher Rene Noorbergen gives the following example of this invasion of the ancients, as well as more modern society, into this unknown and dangerous realm of 'occult science': "One of the greatest enigmas in the world involves the Pyramid of Cheops, better known as the Great Pyramid, located on the west bank of the Nile at Gizeh, a short distance from Cairo. It was built in the early Old Kingdom approximately 800 years after the Flood and is purported to be the final resting place for the pharaoh, but no concrete evidence has ever been found. The role of the pyramid as a tomb has never totally satisfied most investigators and chroniclers. It has often been stated that this man-made mountain of 2,300,000 stone blocks must have served another purpose then as merely the mausoleum of an ancient ruler." There are some who suggest that some of the pyramids of Egypt may have been constructed in antediluvian times, or at least were built upon the foundations of a lost civilization. This may be true in part, especially when we consider another series of pyramids which may be of pre-historic origin as well. We refer to the '7 Pyramids of Shensi' of the Shensi province of China, which are even more massive than those at Gizeh yet are less accessible and less well known due to their 'earthen' or partially-buried nature. There have been many reported strange occurrences in many of the passages beneath certain Egyptian pyramids. Strange noises have sometimes been heard, and one explorer investigating underground passages near the 'bent' pyramid felt a sudden rushing wind which whipped through the passage, and after some time the wind ceased and the passage was dead silent once again. Noorbergen continues in his description of the pyramids as follows: "The mysterious pyramids have been visited by many scientists in the past and present, and a number of these men have noted unusual phenomena associated with the great pyramid of Gizeh. Not long after the turn of the century, the British inventor Alexander Siemens traveled to Egypt to see the pyramid and, accompanied by an Arab guide, climbed to the very top. On their reaching the summit, the guide called attention to the curious fact that whenever he raised his hands with the fingers outstretched, he would hear a ringing in his ears. Siemens followed the Arab's example, but instead of hearing anything, he felt a distinct prickling sensation. Guessing there was something electromagnetic about what was happening, he quickly took a newspaper he had brought with him, moistened it with the contents of a wine bottle, and then wrapped the paper around the empty bottle. In this manner he had quickly manufactured a Leyden Jar--a device which accumulates electrical energy. After holding the apparatus over his head, he realized that it became increasingly charged, to the point that sparks began to fly out of it. The Arab guide, who knew nothing about electricity, accused his tourist companion of witchcraft and attempted to seize Siemens by the arm. At this instant, Siemens lowered his spark-shooting bottle toward the man, giving the Arab such a shock that he was thrown to the stones upon which the two stood. On recovering, the terrified guide scrambled down the treacherous building blocks of the pyramid with scarcely a backward glance, and was never seen again. Siemens concluded that for some reason the pyramid was discharging a powerful flow of electromagnetic current...the 'why' of which he could not answer." Although an 'electrical' phenomena was obviously present there, could the Arab guide have sensed something even more insidious 'accompanying' the electrical phenomena? Noorbergen continues: "A more recent experiment conducted at the Great Pyramid's sister structure, the neighboring Pyramid of Chephren, brought the enigma of the energy flow to worldwide attention. In 1968 a group of scientists from the Ein Shams University near Cairo conducted a million-dollar experiment to measure the cosmic rays passing through the pyramid. The goal was to determine whether any undiscovered chambers existed in the pyramid, for as the cosmic rays strike the pyramid uniformly from all directions, they should, if the pyramid was solid, be recorded uniformly by the detection equipment. If there were vaults, however, the detection equipment would then show a different strength for those areas. "For twenty-four hours a day for more than a year, magnetic tapes faithfully recorded the cosmic rays received by the detectors. Finally, at the termination of the experiment, the tapes were taken to the Ein Shams University to be analyzed by the IBM 1130 computer. The result was absolute chaos! Where there should have been relatively uniform reading among all the tapes, the computer printouts that plotted the cosmic-ray patterns revealed that the readings were different from day to day. "Dr. Amr Gohed, director of the experiment, was quoted in the London 'TIMES' of July 14, 1969, as saying: "'This is scientifically impossible. There is a mystery here which is beyond explanation... call it what you will, occultism, the curse of the Pharaoh, sorcery or magic--there is some force that defies the laws of science at work in the pyramid.'" Some time later, a man by the name of Karl Drbal, inspired by experiments made by a Frenchman named M. Bovis, found that by placing a dull razor blade in a model pyramid, that after 14 days it became sharp once more as the result of some force working on the molecular structure of the metal. This may seem to be some type of supernatural 'miracle', HOWEVER, we should ask ourselves this: Is the 'price' of such experimentation with such occult forces worth it (i.e. the apparent opening up of 'windows' in the 'etheric envelope', possibly allowing God-only-knows what kinds of malevolent ultraphysical entities passage from some other [infernal?] dimension into our own physical realm, as has been suggested from numerous accounts of encounters with negative entities as a result of the manipulation of electromagnetic forces)? Noorbergen continues: "...As the mystery of the pyramid force has been probed deeper, science has been superseded by the SUPERNATURAL. In the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, pyramids are no longer being used to sharpen razor blades but are rapidly becoming instruments of THE OCCULT and are known as 'Feedback- Mystic Pyramids.' The prescribed technique, according to the occultists, it to write a statement or a wish on a piece of paper, insert it in a properly north-south-oriented pyramid, and then pray to the forces within the pyramid to grant the request. Those who have dealt with 'pyramid power' in this manner claim that 'something' is indeed answering their prayers to a degree above and beyond mere chance." Brad Steiger and other researchers have noted that there is a connection between 'poltergeist' manifestations and electrical or electromagnetic phenomena. The theory is that certain invisible entities (demoniacal beings, for instance), seem to 'feed' off of such energy fields and use these to manifest phenomena such as phantasms; poltergeist phenomena such as strange voices, knockings, and even the 'throwing around' of furniture; and in some cases reports of deaths which have surfaced in connection with such electromagnetic manifestations of angry 'poltergeists', whether such deaths occur from fear-induced heart-attacks, or from being hit by flying objects, suffocated by unseen hands, spontaneous human combustions, etc. There are actually documented cases of this type. Noorbergen continues: "...But there's more from Czechoslovakia. Robert Pavlita, another inventor, has taken a step beyond Drbal's pyramid and (began) experimenting with all types of shapes and combinations of shapes. (Note: Could it be that, as with the 'pentagram', the 'pyramid' is a three-dimensional talisman or occult symbol which for some reason attracts negative or malevolent supernatural powers, a type of electromagnetically conducive 'gateway' which fallen supernatural entities imprisoned in some unknown dimension might utilize to gain access to our world? Whether one accepts it or not, such powerful cults as the Illuminati-connected 'O.T.O.', an Aliester Crowleyan group which practiced advanced sorcery and witchcraft, definitely believed in a place called the 'abyss' where demoniacal beings which they referred to as the 'Old Ones' were imprisoned. Kenneth Grant and others have made some startling references to Illuminists who were behind the development of the Atom Bomb and who believed that it was their mission to 'set free' the 'Old Ones' from their prison dimension by tearing through a 'seal' which the Creator had placed between our dimension and the infernal 'prison' dimension inhabited by the Old Ones. Grant claimed to have inside knowledge of the workings of this cult, and whether one believes that atomic bombs could actually 'tear' holes in the etheric or interdimensional envelope, they should understand that some of the people behind the development of the Atomic Bomb DID believe it, which is reason enough for one to be concerned. - Branton) "He (Robert Pavlita) has developed what is now known in psychic circles as the 'psychotronic generator,' a 'machine' that supposedly is able to store up and run on energy which Pavlita claims originates from the human mind. (It is doubtful however that the human mind has any unlimited power potential in itself, other than acting as a CHANNEL for outside electromagnetic or spiritual energies, whether such energies originate from benevolent or malevolent sources - Branton) When the operator simply concentrates on various points of the generator, the machine can attract nonmagnetic material to itself, drive small motors placed in a vacuum, purify polluted water, advance the growth of plants, and heal diseases; and in addition to all this, it is reputed to be able to perform SEVERAL OCCULT EXTRASENSORY OPERATIONS. The inventor avows that it can read minds, CONTROL THOUGHTS, foretell the future, and communicate with ENTITIES that reside on another plane of existence. (Again, we must stress that there are both benevolent and malevolent--or as some may call them angelic and demoniacal/'counterfeit angels'--entities which exist within the electromagnetic energy field around this planet - Branton) "...Pavlita admits--although somewhat reluctantly--that these machines ARE NOT OF HIS INVENTION! Rather, he states that he discovered the principle behind these...machines from a number of extremely ancient manuscripts located in the Prague library collection, which incidentally houses hundreds of relic writings still waiting to be deciphered and translated. THE MANUSCRIPTS SELECTED BY PAVLITA WERE TREATISES ON BLACK MAGIC--MORE SPECIFICALLY, MAGIC BASED ON A UNITED OCCULT-TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED BY AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION ANTEDATING EGYPT AND SUMERIA! "'Pyramid Power' and the 'psychotronic generators' [have] a twofold implication. First, their ancient origin and highly sophisticated technology point to their source as having been BEFORE THE FLOOD. They show that in the final days prior to the Flood the antediluvians had advanced(?) in knowledge to a point where they crossed the line separating pure science from (absolute) occultism. In some way they had managed to fuse the supernatural with the natural and in the process had destroyed their civilization. "The second implication is far more ominous. The intensity of the research into the mystery of 'pyramid power' and psychotronics is now rapidly approximating the same level that the antediluvians reached before the Flood. Today, both science and occult 'knowledge' are beginning to approach their theoretical limits--aiming for the ultimate in technical and spiritual MANIPULATION. Is it perhaps possible that we are again edging closer to the danger point?" (see: SECRETS OF THE LOST RACES, by Rene Noorbergen. The Bobbs-Merril Co., Inc., New York, N.Y.) There is another aspect of the 'pyramid' question which may relate to the supernatural, the occult, and it's ties with the powers of darkness which are attempting to establish rule in this world. This can perhaps be explained in the following article. It may also explain why many people believe that an antediluvian 'experiment' in crystalectromagnetism went out of control when an ancient society attempted to use these powerful energies for destructive purposes. The following quote is taken from an article by Bruce Hathaway which appeared in the Nov. 1988 issue of 'SMITHSONIAN' Magazine, p. 86: "New Agers often state authoritatively that the Great Pyramid at Giza originally had a capstone full of quartz crystals. And, they contend, the king's burial chamber inside the pyramid is made entirely of Aswan granite, about 35 percent quartz, because the ancient Egyptians believed that the enormous pressure from the huge blocks above it would cause the quartz to emanate a rejuvenating energy field. In support of this belief, they cite the fact that such a conversion of mechanical force into electrical polarity is one basis for using quartz in electronics. Despite much geological and historical evidence that the continent of Atlantis is a myth, many crystal buffs are convinced that this ultrasophisticated, lost civilization was powered by quartz crystals, 25 feet long and 10 feet around, which generated a wide spectrum of energies that could be distributed to antigravity devices, force-field generators and healing temples." As the article states, no absolutely conclusive evidence has been forthcoming to prove that such a civilization existed. As Mr. Noorbergen stated, such a civilization may have existed--as evidence by the 'ooparts'--who were destroyed when they merged their science with occult forces. This, as well as no doubt a considerable amount of Divine Judgement (which often consists of allowing man to reap what he sows), apparently caused their demise. According to researcher 'Tawn Atlanti', some years ago a deep sea diver was making the rounds in the 'New Age' lecture circuit, showing-off a quartz crystal 'sphere' which he allegedly recovered from an underwater pyramid beneath the sea in the 'Bermuda Triangle' area off the coast of Florida. He alleged that the discovery took place after a particularly violent tropical storm or hurricane, when megatons of mud and mire were swept and removed from one relatively shallow part of the ocean floor, revealing an ancient 'city'. Among the 'ruins' was a perfectly preserved, smooth, white pyramid. The diver discovered a water-filled entry tunnel in the side of the pyramid, he claims, and following this he found a room in which a large statue holding the crystal 'sphere' was situated. As he took the sphere he claimed to have heard or sensed a strong 'voice' inside his head, although it is not clear exactly what was 'said', other than the voice was menacing. Mr. 'Atlanti' claimed that he himself touched the object and felt a definite 'force' emanating from it. It may be fitting to mention here that during the Dark Ages, 'sorcery' and 'science' were considered to by more-or-less synonymous. Most of those who were involved in the manipulation of physical and spiritual forces were known as 'Alchemists'. This unfortunately is where much of modern 'science' had it's roots, more in mysticism than in analytical mechanism. Now one must not lose their perspective here, as 'science' in itself is amoral or rather it is neither good nor evil, just as non-sentient creation is neither good nor evil of itself. Just like a hammer, it can be used either to build a house or crush a skull. Man in fact is commanded to take dominion over creation and subdue it, UNDER THE DIVINE LEADING AND GUIDANCE OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, according to Judeo-Christian teaching. When the Almighty's plan is left out of the picture man ceases to use the creation in harmony with God's LIFE, and instead begins to use it SELFISHLY instead of for the benefit of all. This is exemplified by the small but powerful technocratic secret societies who hoard all of the beneficial technology to themselves to maintain their CONTROL over their fellow man, while millions die from disease and starvation, etc., who otherwise might have benefitted from the confiscated and secreted technology. One can see the obvious temptation which would exist for a spiritually immature individual or group of individuals who possessed advanced forms of electromagnetic technology. Such technology could easily be used for selfish motives, possibly leading to extreme forms of manipulation, control and potential plundering of ones fellow man if left unchecked. Man's fallen nature is such that unrestricted power can turn a Saint into Serpent. As they say, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!" The criteria then which we must be aware of, whether in the realm of 'science' or some other field, is this: Is the use of such mediums inspired by God's LIFE and is it's fruit LIFE-PRODUCING; or is their use inspired by the powers of Darkness (DEATH), leading to selfishness, death and destruction?
