Bailey discusses her particular groups and their agendas in occultic terms, but that's mostly just a facade for her audiences. Perhaps these elite actually do have some degree of telepathic connectivity between themselves and certain others as she suggests, but let's not get caught up in speculating on that just yet. The important point here is that Bailey, a leading Theosophist who had direct ties to the elite, was describing what has since been coming about, as Coleman confirms through his own extensive research into the Committee of 300. Bailey indicates that the leaders of these seed groups, like the hidden masters of Theosophy, are 'illuminated' and more highly evolved than the rest of us, but of course we can be almost certain that she's just describing groups of highly educated and pedigreed members of the elite who remain mostly in the shadows and really do think of themselves as superior in every way. You must remember that Bailey was speaking to an audience of Theosophists that was already at least partially in acceptance of a New World Order. She was describing the elite's plans in terms that suited her audience's worldview and self-image in order to engage their further acceptance and assistance as these plans unfolded. But she was also explaining the organizational structure of the New World Order and the method that they operated. John Coleman also writes extensively about the Tavistock Institute, which is the propaganda and psychological warfare arm of the Illuminati/Committee of 300. He informs us that Tavistock set up the National Training Laboratories in the USA in 1947, and that this organization prepares up-and-coming leaders in American business and government through a series of sophisticated brainwashing/indoctrination programs in order to bring them in line with their one-world agenda. The NTL also processes members of various segments of the government, including the Navy, the Department of Education, and the State Department. Tavistock’s science and research is rooted in Theosophical psycho-philosophies. Many of its programs and activities reflect Theosophical themes. The Tavistock Institute grew out of occult research taking place prior to World War I, and was formally established by the Committee of 300 for the specific purpose of engaging in psychological operations against the masses, starting with the USA. We find Theosophical themes and philosophies cropping up in our manufactured western culture more and more as time moves forward, thanks to Tavistock’s cultural engineering techniques. If we're to take Bailey seriously in regard to her Theosophical explanations of how these hidden masters she talks about communicate with her seed groups, it's very possible, even likely, that these processed leaders coming out of NTL and other indoctrination centers have been subjected to sophisticated hypnotic programming techniques to enhance their mental abilities as well as their psychic sensitivity. Coleman explains that NTL is interested in instilling 'group mind' in the people they process, which sounds a lot like what Bailey describes. I know from other research I've done that under the right conditions, hypnosis can induce strong telepathic links among a group of people, so I suspect that this is indeed part of NTL's processing. The Freemasons also use a number of hypnotic techniques in their ceremonies and rituals to instill various levels of group mind, and have done so for a long time. In fact, they're very knowledgeable about the deeper secrets of hypnosis and use them to great effect. Maybe it's time for a short history lesson... Anton Mesmer, the discoverer of 'animal magnetism' (which became known as mesmerism and then later as hypnosis), was himself a Mason and a Rosicrucian. He made his discovery at about the same time that the Order of the Illuminati was formed, in or around 1776, and he began teaching his art to other Masons. A number of Lodges took such an interest in it that every member received training. At this early point, mesmerism was only being used to treat patients for illnesses, but by 1784, a student of his, the Marques of Puysegur, discovered that he could elicit supernormal abilities in his patients, including enhanced memories and intelligence, telepathy, clairvoyance, multiple personalities, etc. Many other practitioners found that they were able to duplicate his findings, and there is fortunately a large amount of documentation available from those years to testify to the results they were getting. Unfortunately, the art of mesmerism changed over time as practitioners started changing or simplifying the methods, so that by the 1840s the more phenomenal aspects were no longer present – at least where it was being used in the medical field. Many others who knew the original mesmeric art were still exploring the more interesting phenomena in private. At about this same time or soon after, mesmerism started becoming popular in the USA. Stage magicians and psychic mediums started appearing on the scene who were trained in the art and used it to make a living. By the 1850s, the spiritualist movement was beginning to manifest as interested parties started forming séance groups where mesmeric techniques were used (whether knowingly or not) to elicit various phenomena. Twenty years later, in 1873, Madam Blavatsky arrived in America to begin marketing herself as a medium. Blavatsky was already very well connected among the elite. In 1856 she had been initiated into the Carbonari (a form of Freemasonry) by none other than Giuseppe Mazzini, the then head of the Illuminati. She also held memberships in a number of other elite secret societies. She was able to go into trance at will and elicit many of the phenomena associated with mesmerism. This may have been a natural gift or the result of a traumatic childhood. Whatever the case, she was a phenomenon in her own right and drew in many dedicated followers as she made the rounds during the spiritualist years in America. She founded the Theosophical Society in 1875, and went on to produce two large tomes (both written under hypnotic trance) that detailed her metaphysical philosophies and which became the doctrines of her secret society: Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine. It should be understood that with hypnosis, a person can effortlessly tap into their memory and draw out information in a very concise, logical, and free-flowing form, so that Blavatsky, who had spent her previous years travelling around the world learning about all the various religions and occult teachings she came across, was able to draw it all up under trance and put it down on paper, weaving it all together in the manner that she did. It's also possible, under hypnosis and where there is an adequate level of rapport with another person, to draw out information from that other person's memory. This little-known fact explains the ability of stage performers to read people's minds, the many apparent instances of communicating with the 'deceased relatives' of other people who are present, etc. It also explains how channeling works. With training and practice, anyone can learn to do this. Blavatsky's two books became the basis for a New Age religion as planned for the elite's New World Order. The material within them has since been adopted as the foundation for many other religious groups and cults that have cropped up over the years, particularly those that have later been found to be connected to MKULTRA and the intelligence agencies, and by extension to Tavistock and the elite. These groups have ranged from occult secret societies to Christian-based church groups. Right about the time that Bailey was writing her book, members of elite families, including the Kelloggs, Harrimans, Huxleys, Astors, Forbes, etc. could be found taking an interest in private channeling groups and psychic circles. They also began seeking out natural psychics from around the world in order to use them in these groups. At least a few of these groups were quite successful in that a number of them produced large volumes of channeled material that was eventually published (always on the bestsellers lists, of course!), and this helped to promote New Age beliefs throughout the second half of the twentieth century. Seth Speaks Ra: The Law of One A Course in Miracles Other people -- mostly book authors – would eventually help to fortify this New Age worldview with an endless line of supporting material that was all designed to support Blavatsky's work without always making it apparent. A whole new industry would eventually be started and whole book sections would open up in stores to supply this New Age material to the public. But that was still some way ahead in the future.
