Hunting the Lost Symbol Page #9

many conspiracies ...

Pike as a leader involved

of a southern separatist group ...

known as

"Knights of the Golden Circle."

The idea was to oppose ...

to power ...

American ...

and its influence

in North America ...

by any means necessary ...

overthrowing the government in 1860,

dividing the country into civil war.

After the Civil War,

other rumors linking Pike ...

to an even more controversial

the KKK.

These individuals basically

in my opinion ...

were the largest frauds

I've seen ...

and I am very disturbed

to think of them ...

because they claim Pike

as a founding member ...

as creator of the KKK.

Nonsense!

Pike continued attacks on

even after his death.

The author Dan Brown talks about it

when one of his characters ...

describes the Masons

as devil worshipers.

What the book does not count

is that in 1894 ...

a disgruntled former Mason wrote

under the pseudonym of Leo Taxil ...

depicting Pike

and the Scottish Rite Masons ...

as allies of the devil.

He found a young

who said it was the prostitute ...

Masonic lodges that used

in their diabolical orgies ...

Masses of black magic

behind closed doors.

The Vatican believed ...

and paid for it to be preached

pIpito in all churches.

Taxil went so far as to say

Albert Pike believed that ...

Lucifer was God.

This was inspired by a quote

Pike's book, "Morals and Dogma" ...

in which Pike refers to Lucifer.

Anti--Masonic groups immediately

saw it as evidence ...

that Albert Pike

was a Satanist.

They said,

when he mentioned Lucifer ...

was a devil worshiper,

a satanic worshiper ...

the greatest of all.

There was written decrees

Pope of the time ...

specifically said that

he was a dangerous man.

Masons, however, claim

Pike who used the name "Lucifer" ...

in its original Latin,

which means "light bearer".

He did not refer to Satan,

but the one star ...

the star of Venus.

This is not devil worship

or worshiping Satan.

What they meant was the light,

lighting ...

enlightenment through logic,

reason and science.

Leo Taxil ended up portraying,

saying that made up the story ...

but damage

had already been done.

To date, televangelists

Pat Robinson as ...

Pike takes his display

evidence ...

to show that Freemasonry

is part of a conspiracy ...

and really worship the devil.

Since Pike was accused

Freemasons to control ...

the U.S. government may be involved

mind control.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

In "The Lost Symbol,"

Brown's fictional scientist ...

speaks as military researchers

long explore the techniques ...

to harness the powers

the mind.

She mentions government programs

involving ESP ...

Remote Viewing and a kind

Travel telepathic.

This is based

in a real military experience ...

in which a volunteer is invited

to describe a place ...

within the Soviet Union.

He receives only

the geographical coordinates ...

but produces a drawing with

striking similarities to the site ...

across the world.

It was all part of

a secret military operation ...

to use paranormal

to spy on the Soviets.

This type of research

is still ongoing ...

and plays an important role

in "The Lost Symbol."

One of the characters of the book is a

scientist who does research in Noetic.

As the book portrays

Noetic deals with the experiences ...

that many of us

have all day.

That feeling

that something is not right ...

what we call intuition.

This psychic connection that mothers

seem to have with their children.

The power of prayer, which seems to help

to heal a person.

All this is in the domain

of Noetic Sciences.

And the truth of Noetic Sciences

is as strange as any fiction ...

found in

"The Lost Symbol."

A serious scientific study

called Phenomenon Paranormal ...

began in the 30 ...

when an American parapsicIogo

named JB Rhine ...

began experimenting

with ESP ...

in the laboratory.

Rhine called for volunteers to try to

guess which of the five cards ...

arise when it was pulled

a pack of cards.

Each set had 25 letters ...

so anything better

than one in five attempts ...

would show

extrasensory capacity.

Rhine reported

significant results ...

but scientists and traditional psicIogos

dismiss his work ...

saying that his methods

were flawed.

Rhine and other parapsicIogos ...

continued to work

in relative obscurity ...

to the Cold War.

In 1971, two British writers

revealed ...

scientists of the Soviet Union

researching ...

the use of ESP

as a weapon.

As one of the characters

Brown mentions ...

those who are in power

always looking for more power.

One area in which they were

particularly interested ...

was the "remote viewing", the ability

to see a distant target or invisible ...

using ESP.

The Soviets also worked

the "intent" ...

the ability to affect a person,

so good or bad ...

just looking

for a photograph of the person.

When I heard

what the Soviets used to ...

the U.S. government created

your own program.

Began to accelerate a kind

Cold War psychic ...

actually, on one level ...

people spoke of missiles

and missile silos ...

and in another, there was a team

mediums ...

they were asked to use

these potential capabilities ...

to get

reliable intelligence information.

The American project was dubbed

"Stargate" ...

and was funded by the CIA and

the Defense Intelligence Agency.

The book reveals the noetic scientist

the connection between your work ...

Stargate and the CIA.

Soviet and American

were very interested ...

the notion of mind

on the matter ...

the idea that consciousness can

somehow influence the matter.

The program lasted

for over 20 years.

At its peak, the Stargate project

laboratories was 14 ...

researching remote viewing ...

and with results that seemed to indicate

that remote viewing was not a myth.

And we know that there were cases where

these remote viewers ...

were able to make drawings

very accurate ...

of secret military installations

across the planet.

Despite the promising results,

some politicians and military ...

did not want the money

the taxpayer ...

fund this type

of research.

In 1995, the CIA shut down Project

20 million dollars ...

but the military continued to use

mediums to gather information.

During Desert Storm,

mediums with remote viewing ...

were used to help locate

Scud missiles hidden ...

and gun shops

chemical and biological weapons.

Today, the government claims that it is more

involved with psychic research.

But the study of psychic phenomena

still in research institutes ...

as the Institute

of Noetic Sciences.

The institute was the idea of ??astronaut

Mason Mitchell ...

who went to the moon

with Apollo 14 in 1971.

In space, Mitchell led

experiments unofficial ...

extrasensory perception

with some friends on earth.

Upon returning home,

he had a transformative experience.

Edgar had an epiphany

back to the moon ...

he looked at the planet Earth

and acknowledged that much of the conflict ...
