The Secret Behind Secret Societies : Liberation of the Planet in the 21st Century

by Jon Rappoport

The way of the secret society is a way of life. At its root, it is not grinning skulls and sputtering candles in dark rooms. It is not that provincial. The secret society reflects one invisible tradition that has existed on Earth for a hundred thousand years. It is the main Way that people have lived on this planet. Excerpt from Introduction There is another way, another tradition, more invisible, more powerful. This book is about these two avenues. It is amazing, at this late date, that so many people think power is merely a cake of clay that six billion of us are beating at with hammers. It is astonishing that so many people think power is a mound of lumps and dust that six billion of us are fighting over. Power has been taken by very well-run organizations. Major power. On the other side of the coin, there is a growing crowd that thinks we must invoke fire-eating lizards or Satan to explain how power has been stolen from us. This is a book about the organizations that have carted off something very vital in the middle of the night and how to get it back. More than that, it is about the exact methods used to unhook us from all that we are. Excerpt There are nine official choirs of angels. For each of these types, we have various artistic depictions. The nine choirs are divided into three groups, each of which has three sub-types. The main branches of angels are the Counsellors, the Governors, and the Messengers. Under the Counsellors are the Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones. The Governors include Dominions, Powers, and Virtues. The Messengers contain the Principalities, Archangels and Angels. Each of these nine groups has its own named leader, style of dress, and symbols. The Greek and Latin Fathers of the Church, eight of them, figure very prominently in Christian art . . . I find 10 symbols for these men. As for the Church itself, symbols abound. The ark, the ship, the ark of the covenant, the rock, the candelabra, wheat and tares, the mustard seed, and so on. I have counted 20 symbols. Furthermore, through displayed art, there is an ingenious typing of stories within the Church, in which a key tale is not only pictorialized, but also symbolized by showing other versions of it. For example, the specific type of story known as The Epiphany might be referred to by art showing the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon not a Christian adventure at all or by the non-Christian Abner coming to see David, King of the Hebrews, or by Joseph s Hebrew brothers bowing down to him in Egypt. The Church holds that the real story behind all of these the Magi coming to see the Infant Lord. In Church art, you would see all of these tales depicted and all but one, the Real One, would have a symbolic meaning. How many such official archetypes of Church stories exist? Well, there is The Annunciation, The Incarnation, The Nativity, The Presentation, The Holy Innocents, The Holy Family in Egypt, The Return From Egypt, St. John the Baptist, Our Lord s Baptism, The Temptation, The Sermon on the Mount, The Raising of Lazarus, The Transfiguration, The Triumphal Entry, Our Lord Weeps Over Jerusalem, Cleansing the Temple, The Last Supper, The Traitor Revealed, Our Lord in Gethsemane, The Betrayal, The Accusation before Pilate, The Crowning With Thorns, Our Saviour Mocked, The Scourging, Bearing the Cross, The Sacrifice on Calvary, The Seamless Coat (taken from Jesus by soldiers at the cross), The Pierced Side, The Virgin Mother s Sorrow, the Descent from the Cross, The Entombment, the Descent Into Hell, The Resurrection, The Woman at the Tomb, The Appearance to Mary, The Appearance to the Disciples, Thomas, The Ascension, Pentecost, The Second Coming, the Unbelievers, The Believers, The Church, Holy Baptism, The Holy Eucharist.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
– Albert Einstein

Just finished reading The Secret Behind Secret Societies by Jon Rappoport today and it was a quick read given how well the information flowed throughout the entirety of the book.

The book is essentially a tour de force into the inner workings of secret societies, which in this respect, is a merger between what most people think of, coupled with a point of view that nobody has brought into the fold within this arena, or most others for that matter.

Mr. Rappoport gives a crash course into the main weapon humanity has to free itself from the nefarious shackles of the comptrollers – imagination.

Had it been known to me that this book tackled the subject of imagination, it would have wound up being purchased by myself a few years back. What is meant by that is that the title of the book is very misleading – not in a duplicitous way, mind you. It’s just a book that is far more reaching that most would ever realize.

His constant alluding to the importance of this subject in his daily website at nomorefakenews.com is what peaked my curiosity on the subject. After having been an avid reader of Rappoport’s work for over 3 years, he has made it crystal clear why imagination is so vital.

In this book, he delves deeper as to why imagination is of utmost importance, and how the secret societies – the ones you know about, and many which you hadn’t even considered – not only gain power, but how they stunt growth and suppress the imagination/consciousness/mind of the individual in ways most cannot even fathom.

Haven’t seen one researcher tackle this angle yet [and hopefully will find one/more that do], and it really is the most significant one because as Rappoport implies quite often, people searching for ways to free themselves from the matrix of manipulation without seeing the full breadth and scope of the theater, end up switching one system of ideas/beliefs for another one, thinking that will free them without realizing that all systems are a trap.

Throughout the length of the book, Rappaport takes you through his personal journey into how he ultimately found out about the inner workings of imagination, and its one hell of a ride to be completely honest.

This is a subject that is so vital, that it should be taught at schools from the instant that children can begin to grasp it. The sooner the better. The ability to be able to use one’s own mind/imagination/consciousness and be able to not only eviscerate the layers of deceit, but also to actually shed one’s shackles whilst also rerouting the tidal wave of manipulation right back to the ruling powers is just the starting point.

Life is ultimately about creation, and the fulcrum of creation is imagination. Interweaving imagination within your reality via your intent/consciousness will make all the difference in your life/journey.

This particular book is as inspirational as it is deep in scope. Its depth comes from the finer subtleties covered in detail, such as visualization, art work, dreams, et al. to conquer the vicious vortex of mind control that zaps all imagination out the outset of very nascent stages.

This book is so beyond mundane conventional thoughts, that it might truly be the first modern breakaway book. Breakaway in the sense that this particular book will allow you detach from the entire mindcontrol grid if you decide to apply the concepts it presents to the fullest extent. That said, this concept might take some people much more than one read and a few days of thought to understand the full latitude of it.

As we have learned, imagination is limitless. Rappaport gave his readers one cosmic chunk out of the endless possibilities that consciousness can partake it. The discovery of the entire latitude of imagination is up to the reader/researcher/individual.

Focused intent is the gas pedal, while imagination is the wheel of consciousness. Without one, the other is useless, like a ship with a busted rudder drifting aimlessly in an endless ocean.

What you take/create from it is up to you. The choice is y/ours, as always.

– Collin Wilson

“Logic will get you from from A to Z, imagination will get you everywhere.”

“Imagination decides everything.”
– Blaise Pascal

Jon Rappoport is one of the world's best investigative journalists, check out his Substack to find out for yourself. The Secret Behind Secret Societies turned out to be not the kind of book I was expecting. If you think the author is writing an expose on the freemasons or the knights templar, etc., you're wrong. Rappoport covers a broad range of subject matter in the book, including experiments documenting the effect of human consciousness on matter (and according to the science but downplayed by media and the academic industrial complex, consciousness does effect matter.)
Rappoport also wrote the book in a particular unconventional style as well, sometimes using stories from his real life, sometimes citing the works of other authors and sometimes talking bad about the Nazis. If you bought the book to learn about secret societies you wont be disappointed. The peripheral subject matter is just as intriguing.

Very, very interesting and stimulating. I think the author is definitely onto something: that there is a tradition in human history that has gone almost entirely unrecorded, yet everyone knows about it! Here in Japan, there is a tradition of "laying on of hands" though without any of the religious connotations this has in the West. Yet very few actually practice it and there is little literature on it. Pitting the tradition of the imagination against the mentality of secret societies proves an unexpectedly fruitful comparison. Likewise linking healing with imagination.

Jon Rappoport does an excellent job explaining the power of the human imagination and its ability to create. He strips away all the sophisticated knowledge and rituals commonly associated with secret societies and goes straight into their core belief system: an organized group with a secret agenda with the purpose of controlling others. The method presented on how this has, and is currently being attained is quite interesting.
