The Nine Unknown Men
====================
This tradition goes back to the time of Emperor Asoka, who
reigned in India from 273 B.C. He was the grandson of
Chandragupta who was the first to unify India. Ambitious like
his ancestor whose achievements he was anxious to complete, he
conquered the region of Kalinga which lay between what is now
Calcutta and Madras. The Kalingans resisted and lost 100,000
men in the battle.
At the sight of this massacre Asoka was overcome. For ever
after he experienced a horror of war. He renounced the idea of
trying to integrate the rebellious people, declaring that the
only true conquest was to win men's hearts by observance of the
laws of duty and piety, because the Sacred Majesty desired that
all living creatures should enjoy security, peace and happiness
and be free to live as they pleased.
A convert to Buddhism, Asoka, by his own virtuous example,
spread this religion throughout India and his entire empire
which included Malaya, Ceylon and Indonesia. Later Buddhism
penetrated to Nepal, Thibet, China and Mongolia. Asoka
nevertheless respected all religious sects. He preached
vegetarianism, abolished alcohol and the slaughter of animals.
H.G. Wells, in his abridged version of his Outline of World
History wrote: "Among the tens of thousands of names of monarchs
accumulated in the files of history, the name of Asoka shines
almost alone, like a star."
It is said that the Emperor Asoka, aware of the horrors of war,
wished to forbid men ever to put their intelligence to evil uses.
During his reign natural science, past and present, was vowed
to secrecy. Henceforward, and for the next 2,000 years, all
researches, ranging from the structure of matter to the
techniques employed in collective psychology, were to be hidden
behind the mystical mask of a people commonly believed to be
exclusively concerned with ecstasy and supernatural phenomena.
Asoka founded the most powerful secret society on earth: that of
the Nine Unknown Men.
It is still thought that the great men responsible for the
destiny of modern India, and scientists like Bose and Ram
believe in the existence of the Nine, and even receive advice
and messages from them. [cf. Phyllis Schlemmer's modern "Council
of Nine" which "channeling" sessions have drawn such notables as
Uri "Spoon-Bender" Geller, physicist Dr. Andrija "SPECTRA"
Puharich (who once noted that Geller's entity was Horus/Hawk-like
in appearance -- another story for another time perhaps) and, of
course, societal sci-fi metaprogrammer extraordinaire Gene "Star
Trek" Roddenberry -B:.B:.]
One can imagine the extraordinary importance of secret knowledge
in the hands of nine men benefiting directly from experiments,
studies and documents accumulated over a period of more than 2,000
years. What can have been the aim of these men? Not to allow
methods of destruction to fall into the hands of unqualified
persons, and to pursue knowledge which would benefit mankind.
Their numbers would be renewed by co-option, so as to preserve
the secrecy of techniques handed down from ancient times.
Examples of the Nine Unknown Men making contact with the outer
world are rare. There was, however, the extraordinary case of
one of the most mysterious figures in Western history: the Pope
Sylvester II, known also by the name of Gerbert d'Aurillac.
Born in the Auvergne in 920 (d. 1003) Gerbert was a Benedictine
monk, professor at the University of Rheims, Archbishop of
Ravenna and Pope by the grace of Otho III. He is supposed to
have spent some time in Spain, after which a mysterious voyage
brought him to India where he is reputed to have acquired
various kinds of skills which stupefied his entourage. For
example, he possessed in his palace a bronze head which answered
Yes or No to questions put to it on politics or the general
position of Christianity. [cf. "Max the Crystal Skull" of current
notoriety -B:.B:.] According to Sylvester II this was a perfectly
simple operation corresponding to a two-figure calculation, and was
performed by an automaton similar to our modem binary machines.
This "magic" head was destroyed when Sylvester died, and all the
information it imparted carefully concealed. No doubt an author-
ized research worker would come across some surprising things in
the Vatican Library.
In the cybernetics journal, Computers and Automation of October
1954, the following comment appeared: "We must suppose that he
(Sylvester) was possessed of extraordinary knowledge and the most
remarkable mechanical skill and inventiveness. This speaking
head must have been fashioned 'under a certain conjunction of
stars occurring at the exact moment when all the planets were
starting on their courses.' Neither the past, nor the present
nor the future entered into it, since this invention apparently
far exceeded in its scope its rival, the perverse 'mirror on the
wall' of the Queen, the precursor of our modern electronic brain.
Naturally, it was widely asserted that Gerbert was only able
to produce such a machine because he was in league with the
Devil and had sworn eternal allegiance to him."
Had other Europeans any contact with this society of the Nine
Unknown Men? It was not until the nineteenth century that this
mystery was referred to again in the works of the French writer
Jacolliot.
Jacolliot was French Consul at Calcutta under the Second Empire.
He wrote some quite important prophetic works, comparable, if
not superior to those of Jules Verne. He also left several
books dealing with the great secrets of the human race. A great
many occult writers, prophets and miracle-workers have borrowed
from his writings which, completely neglected in France, are
well known in Russia.
Jacolliot states categorically that the society of Nine did
actually exist. And, to make it all the more intriguing, he
refers in this connection to certain techniques, unimaginable
in 1860, such as, for example, the liberation of energy,
sterilization by radiation and psychological warfare.
Yersin, one of Pasteur and de Roux's closest collaborators, was
entrusted, it seems, with certain biological secrets when he
visited Madras in 1860, and following the instructions he
received was able to prepare a serum against cholera and the
plague. [Yet in these current Eschatological Times of Trouble,
have these hidden secrets slipped into the hands of vile and
profane individuals such as Wolf "Herr Doktor AIDS" Smuzness
and, of course, "Oppie's boys" over at the LANL labs? -B:.B:.]
The story of the Nine Unknown Men was popularized for the first
time in I927 in a book by Talbot Mundy who for twenty-five years
was a member of the British police force in India. His book is
half fiction, half scientific inquiry. The Nine apparently
employed a synthetic language [Enochian? -B:.B:.], and each of
them was in possession of a book that was constantly being
rewritten and containing a detailed account of some science.
[Note here the Qabbalistic "synchronicities" in the subjects of
the Nine Books. -B:.B:.]
The first of these books is said to have been devoted to the
technique of propaganda and psychological warfare. "The most
dangerous of all sciences," wrote Mundy, "is that of moulding
mass opinion, because it would enable anyone to govern the whole
world." [Indeed, cf. the Rockefeller-funded exploits of such
notables as Harvard's Dr. John Mack and CSETI's Dr. Steve Greer
along with such other notables as the military/intelligence
community's Psyop (psychological warfare operative) Extraordinaire
Michael "Temple of Set" Acquino, Dr. John "LSD, Dolphins 'n Sensory
Deprivation Tanks" Lilly, The BABALON Bunch (i.e. Crowley, Parsons
'n Hubbard), etc. etc. etc. -B:.B:.]
It must be remembered that Korjybski's General Semantics did not
appear until 1937 and that it was not until the West had had the
experience of the last World War that the techniques of the
psychology of language, i.e. propaganda, could be formulated.
The first American college of semantics only came into being in
1950. In France almost the only book that is at all well known
is Serge Tchocotine's Le Viol des Foules [i.e. "The Rape of the
Masses," no doubt a take-off on Ortega y Gasset's classic socio-
logical work of the same name. -B:.B:.] which has had a consider-
able influence in intellectual political circles, although it
deals only superficially with the subject.
The second book was on physiology. It explained, among other
things, how it is possible to kill a man by touching him, death
being caused by a reversal of the nerve-impulse. It is said
that Judo is a result of "leakages" from this book.
The third volume was a study on microbiology, and dealt
especially with protective colloids.
The fourth was concerned with the transmutation of metals.
There is a legend that in times of drought temples and religious
relief organizations received large quantities of fine gold from
a secret source.
The fifth volume contains a study of all means of communication,
terrestrial and extra-terrestrial. [Keep in mind this is circa
250 B.C.E. -B:.B:.]
The sixth expounds the secrets of gravitation.
The seventh contains the most exhaustive cosmogony known to
humanity.
The eighth deals with light.
The ninth volume, on sociology, gives the rules for the
evolution of societies, and the means of foretelling their
decline.
Connected with the Nine Unknown Men is the mystery of the waters
of the Ganges. Multitudes of pilgrims, suffering from the most
appalling diseases, bathe in them without harming the healthy
ones. The sacred waters purify everything. Their strange
properties have been attributed to the fact that they contain
bacteriophages. But why should these not be formed in the
Bramaputra, the Amazon or the Seine? Jacolliot in his book
advances the theory of sterilization by radiation, a hundred
years before such a thing was thought to be possible. These
radiations, he says, probably come from a secret temple hollowed
out in the bed of the Ganges.
Avoiding all forms of religious, social or political agitations,
deliberately and perfectly concealed from the public eye, the
Nine were the incarnation of the ideal man of science, serenely
aloof, but conscious of his moral obligations. Having the power
to mould the destiny of the human race, but refraining from its
exercise, this secret society is the finest tribute imaginable
to freedom of the most exalted kind. Looking down from the
watch-tower of their hidden glory, these Nine Unknown Men
watched civilizations being born, destroyed and re-born again,
tolerant rather than indifferent, and ready to come to the
rescue -- but always observing that rule of silence that is the
mark of human greatness.
Myth or reality? A magnificent myth, in any case, and one that
has issued from the depths of time -- a harbinger, maybe, of the
future ?
