Thank you runningstream.
The message is right on the spot how the history could be described.
I especially got fond of this part:
"The new seers discovered and rediscovered a couple of things that make them unique in comparison to all the bad press about secret societies.
First they aligned themselves with freedom not with dominant power. This is a root knowing that the universe creates and sustains itself in a myriad of ways, often randomly. The new seers realized that only through freedom would the most enduring evolutions in awareness survive. Freedom challenges the predator(s) to the core. Cooperation among warriors of freedom sustains maneuvers of awareness.
Yet it was freedom that the seers came to know absolutely as the fundamental drive of awareness. It is the basic drive of the bands of awareness (intent, eagles emanations, commands etc.). Second they rediscovered the goals of the ancient seers in aligning emanations within with those outside their luminescent structure. They practiced this through the art of stalking themselves. This was something the ancients had no concept of, the self which is the fixation of the assemblage point. They came to realize that the result of the old seers dreaming was to create a constant obsession with the eternal self and our eternal reflections concerning it.
So they stalked away that obsession with first attention self-reflection, which wanted to defeat death through myths of heaven and eternal salvation of the self. Third they understood the downfalls of dreaming, the morbid obsession of the old seers which caused further slavery to the predator. By returning stalking to its primary position as a necessary task of the seer on the road to freedom. They were able to liberate vast resources of energy to expand and explore avenues of awareness in the abstract. This was the real key because it redefined dreaming and thus redefined the purpose of life in all its myriad of being.
Forth, they founded their practice on warrior’s techniques. As mentioned above, recapitulation became paramount to freedom for this technique challenges the dominant paradigms of beliefs and mores of culture. The new seers freed themselves from themselves. Which allowed for the gathering of energy to do different maneuvers than the old seers.
They were not interested in control, but rather knowledge, freedom, and awareness in the universe at large. Often they became the artists, scientists and philosophers of their periods giving to their local cultures that which was necessary to keep them hidden while interconnecting with a band of like-hearted warriors. Last, they realized that the old seers had aligned themselves with an upward shift of the assemblage point and to a position of ration. Everything,
so the old seers taught, should be understood, written and rationalized. Everything was to be justified by ration. And in the extreme case, ration actually split off from the assemblage point to dominate it. This was the dark side of the predator that evolved a way to control humans through instilling its mind and mythologies into the human band through ration.
The new seers practiced silence, which through great effort realigned their assemblage points to the ancient position and re-opened avenues of awareness that had lain dormant in the human structure. This practice of silence became key to freedom and to maintaining their ability to stay hidden within the framework of the dominant paradigm of culture."
