Christmas 1969 Hawaii

Carol Ann, Desiree and I were back at the HOOM house eating meals and spending more time than I had every really wanted to spend at any type of religious goings on. I was sitting in the lounge or living room, whatever they were calling the front room in those days hanging out with Desiree who had managed to survive long enough to be past the one-year-old mark. Carol Ann was upstairs with Master Raoul. He had wanted to speak to her and that seemed fine with me. I had hoped that maybe he would talk some sense into her and give her and her baby a ticket to Chicago. I would have been content with a ticket back to Eugene, where as far as I was concerned, was my home. I had left my few meagre belongings there and I had planned to continue my education. I had such a disrupted learning thingy happening in my life that the thought of being a college student seemed what I should be doing. Granted I was not a student at Harvard or the University of Hawaii or Oxford or NYU or anything more than a beginning student at Lane Community College, near Eugene, Oregon, a two-year college at that. However, considering my fateful track meet, and how bad I was doing at Shenendehowa and my failed schooling so far, a junior college was Yale to me. When Carol Ann came down the stairs, she was all smiles and said that Master Raoul wished to speak with me. I heard the words but I did not know what to do with them. There are times in life where we hear what we would never imagine we would hear. It was not close to the words that I heard August 16, 2003, and that will affect me for as long as I am alive, but they were words I would not have expected, and they affected me for decades.

"Carolann is joing the Order, what will you do?" As you would have read in the chapter before, what could I do?

So I too joined.

Master Raoul in 1970

And there he was in his white robe just like Carol Ann told me about back in Eugene, Oregon. This really happened. Shit!

I have no idea what happened in the next sequence but somewhere I heard “I want to join too”. It was not my voice; surely, I was not that stupid. Nevertheless, I remember the feeling now, a calm and joyful sort of a peaceful feeling overcame me. I was excited and happy and if I had to pee, I would have done it all over myself. The teacher hugged me and said “welcome home”. That was it, nothing more could have happened to change how happy I felt. Carol Ann, Desiree, and I never went back to the apartment in Waikiki. Within a short period, before nightfall, my hair had lost its length. I had a long ponytail, a couple of year’s growth, but now I had short hair. I kept my ponytail in my drawer for the whole time I was in the Order in Hawaii. Right there under my socks and jocks. I was given the lower bed of one of four bunk beds in the room. Everyone began to call me, Brother Terrell.
Carol Ann and Desiree went off to another house, about half an hour away. We were told that we needed to be separated for a few months then we could be together.

It was somewhere in between Christmas and New Year’s, though whether it was closer to the one or the other I do not recall. I would imagine it was smack dab in the midst, maybe the 28th or bordering on the 27th. The timing was not important but the moment’s play seemed to be.

There was that transit Jupiter to my Chiron aspect but then I just had that a few months ago at the end of 2005 and I am not sure anything quite so dramatic happened.

1970

From the Book of Order written by the Holy Order of MANS and given to anyone who really cared or who was informed that he, she, or it should really care.

“The Order is the second manifestation of the Body of Jesus Christ. Not in a single personage or Being, but by combining those who will serve without qualification for the betterment of the Whole.
My brethren let there be not separation among us. Let's not be of ourselves independent but rather yearn for the presence of Christ in Order.
I have sat and listened to discussion and felt a burning as of the presence of Christ within me shouting that there be Order, not separation.
We have been asked to lead mankind in the quest of his own God-self in the light of truth, which is in Christ Jesus. This we know to be true and real, having experienced it ourselves.
Our objective is carried out in the above manner in manifesting the reality of what is the Body of Christ, and to bring or raise it up as the Body of Christ in completion, in accord with the creative pattern presented some 2,000 years earlier by our Master Jesus, who was Christed.
Let us remember we of ourselves are but messengers of that same Christos. Not of ourselves a thing, but a segment of a divine Being in a particular plane of manifestation having but one function, not many but one, to glorify the Most High God in Unity and Peace.”

HISTORY OF THE ORDER (according to the Order’s writings)
The Order was conceived through revelation and evolved from the findings of a fact- finding group of professional people interested in the welfare of man for not only the present, but the future. Many years of work, teaching, lecturing and personal service preceded the legal founding of the Order in 1968. The founding work actually started in 1961, the preliminary work having extended 30 years earlier.
In San Francisco, under the leadership of Dr. Earl W. Blighton, and with great spiritual guidance, it was officially recorded as a corporation on July 24, 1968.
Dr. Blighton's previous social and church work prepared him well for the particular work of the Order. He had been ordained many years earlier,
and carried forward the ancient rites in conjunction with his divine calling to the field.
What various media have said over the
years:
“Founded in 1961 by Earl Blighton, (April 18,
1904 - April 11, 1974) a retired electrician and mail order minister, Earl Blighton, says he received the idea for a co-ed religious order by "divine revelation." as the reincarnation of St. Paul.”
This I heard from the beginning. Not only did we have this famous Paul dude – the one who started the Christian thing to begin with those thousands of years ago, but we had the disciples of Jesus with us. The master teachers were the reincarnations of the disciples. I do not know who Raoul was but we did have Timothy, whom I will speak of later. Apparently, according to the Order, the disciples were in fact Lords of the Planets. I am not sure how that works, as there were more disciples than planets. I think the line was that some planets either have yet to be discovered or they are not visible with our physical sight, or they have been destroyed, such as the asteroids were once a planet that either was blown apart through the misuse of nuclear weapons or it collided with something.

Of course now in 2015 we are told that Nibiru, Planet X (also known as Nemesis, The Destroyer, Wormwood, Hercolubus, Comet Typhon) will stuff us up by the end of the year – which is a drag as I had hoped to have made an e-book of this story by then and sell it for a buck to five or six people. Damn!

Because we are living in the ‘last days’ this is the final time for some final initiation on this planet. The teachings proclaimed Jesus was Lord of Earth and the Sun was our local God then there were these twelve planets, not including the moon. This leaves eight planets so it gets bogged down or quite abstract somewhere in these teachings. I am sure as I evolved into the ‘higher’ and ‘secret’ wisdom of the Order that I was bestowed with this information but that part of my subconscious is apparently not accessible as I do not know.

“…the Holy Order of Mans began with that mix of esoteric wisdom, self-styled mysticism and personal prophecy we
now call New Age, dates back to an organization Blighton founded in San Jose in 1961 called the Science of Man Church. Blighton, had a number of previous religious associations, including the Roman Catholic Church and the Rosicrucian Order…” Newsweek magazine the week of October 1, 1973.

“The group's structure consisted of one main governing body and a suborder of followers. The main decision- making body was the esoteric council. Blighton assumed the leadership role in the council as the Director General. The suborder of the followers consisted of the "master teachers," priests specially trained by Blighton, minister-priests, stewards, disciples, students, and novices…” (Lucas, Phillip. 1995, The Odyssey of a New Religion. Indianapolis: Indiana University Press.:59-60) …1969 through 1970 saw a dramatic jump in the number of students.

“The Holy Order of MANS promises to reveal hidden, ancient Christian Mysteries (such as the groovy knowledge about the disciples being Lords of Planets). These "truths" will elevate one's spiritual consciousness and prepare him for the New Age, which will soon dawn upon humanity. Members are promised entry into "the Greater Brotherhood," a company of "Christed" individuals who will someday reign with "the Cosmic Christ." (I am not sure where some of these particular quotes come from but I have several old newspaper clippings that have only the stories and not their source. Most of the quotes in this section are from notes I took whilst in the Order from what was at the time in the media)

While the Holy Order of Mans now has branches in 47 states (and an income in excess of $1 million a year), there is no branch in Rochester - where in 1951 Blighton jumped bail on a charge of practicing medicine without a license.
He had been fined $500 and given a suspended sentence and probation in 1946 for practicing medicine without a license. (Charges of petty larceny in 1932 and grand larceny in 1936 and grand larceny in 1936 were dismissed.)
And Rochester authorities seem in no hurry to seek extradition for the 1951 bail jumping, although the warrant is active.

His doctorate was awarded him by a "Wesleyan Methodist school in Los Angeles."
But the doctoral certificate framed in his headquarters hallway notes that the doctorate was awarded by the Faith Bible College of Florida, a mail order diploma mill operated by the Rev. Herman Keck, a Sing Sing ex-convict who this September (1972) was jailed for fraud.

Blighton's central proclamation was that the earth was entering a new age of spiritual illumination and that the Holy Order of MANS had been divinely ordained to prepare humanity for this Golden Dawn of the spirit."
The first HOLY ORDER OF MANS Charter as an independent entity, was sealed at Sacramento, California, 11:15 AM, PDT, July 24, 1968. The headquarters were located in San Francisco, California. It had its beginnings from the Science of Man founded by Dr. EarlW. Blighton, known by its members as Father Paul, and began in the San Jose region in 1986 it was disbanded with a large number of its members having already left. A portion that stayed up to that point merged with the newly found Christ the Savior Brotherhood, a Christian Orthodox sect. membership peaked in the mid-'70s with some 3,000 members.

More Dates of Interest if there was any reason to be interested.
First Brotherhouse of permanent students of the Order: November 1966, 7 room flat was rented at 39 Guerrero St.; San Francisco, California.
First permanent headquarters: 20 Steiner Street, Leased November 1967, bought 1970.
More crapola summed up…

Founder: Earl Blighton, an "ex-engineer" who claims "divine revelation" prompts him to start the Order.
Text: The Bible (preferably the New Testament) with mystical emphasis on the Pauline epistles, seminars and correspondence study.
Symbols: Golden Cross-overlaid with a flaming sword. MANS is an acronym denoting mysterion (mystery), agape (divine love), nous (knowledge), and Sophia (wisdom).
Appeal: Moral asceticism and ethical honesty are strongly emphasized to attract those who have been victimized by society's moral vacuum. The image of the Order is not controversial and so little is known about it that prospective members have no predisposition about its secret teachings.
Purpose: The Holy Order of MANS promises to reveal hidden, ancient Christian mysteries. These "truths" will elevate one's spiritual consciousness and prepare him for the New Age that will soon dawn upon humanity. Members are promised entry into "the Greater Brotherhood," a company of
"Christed" individuals who will someday reign with "the Cosmic Christ."

Errors: Christ is not Eternal God but merely a great teacher. God the Father is "the highest initiate among the humanity of the Saturn Period," Jesus is "the highest initiate of the Sun Period," and the Holy Spirit is "the highest initiate of the Moon Period." Mystical wisdom is considered to be a valid source of truth and equal in authority to biblical revelation.

I saw this in a notebook from 1978 today (March 15, 2015). Not only did the Order take all our money but they did not pay our taxes:

‘This year I received my federal income tax return $400 short. Their reason I was told was because of an order I was in for seven years was audited for 1974. When I was in the Order I gave all my money to it that I made at my job. When this matter came to my attention I looked at the Order’s chart and not mine as there are five others in the Baltimore who have left and came up short on their tax returns. We have recently found that over 300 people are affected…’

I seemed more interested in the astrological aspects than the actually event. Good golly no wonder I am always so poor. $400 in 1978 would be like having thousands deducted now. Of course, I cannot help but being upset but what is the point of being angry with what someone did forty years ago? I am more upset at how gullible I was and probably am. Then I see ex-Order people on Facebook going on about the light and still believing they are chosen. We were only chosen due to our stupidity. Groups like the Holy Order of MANS and the many other groups; all the way to ISS which is recruiting young people to be-head Christians in the Middle East, prey on stupid people to be their fodder.

Master Raoul (also known as First Chela, Rev. Erik Fuchs, and later on Brother Sunshine and currently as Frater Will Cameron) told me that I had severe brain damage from all the drugs I had taken. He did a series of ‘healings’ on me and for whatever was going on with those ‘healings’ my mind did seem clearer and the confusion and fog that filled my every waking moment dissipated. Of course, in hindsight, the only sight that has any future to it, it was because I stopped taking drugs that my mind cleared.

DEAR ONE, yes, I remember you and Randy it has bin a very long time has it not? Have bin in the secret orders for many years I live in SD. CA. did you check out the site at http://www.gnosticorderofchrist.net/conference/in dex/html it kind of sums up were I am at these days, I do not have Randys email address would like to here from him, will be flying to Atlanta this next week to give a lecture bet you thought me dead HA! HA! HA! HA! SNORT well not yet LOVE Frater Will
(note: grammar and spelling as in email)

I have no idea why he emailed me out of the blue - the only contact Ihad with him 30-years earlier. He wrote me again when my son died in August 2003. That was it. I always thought he was a hustler. Definitly on the gay side with reports of him having sex with males in public toilets in Waikiki. I have no way to confirm that but I never really cared for him. Such a bulshitter with fantastic stories all the time back when he was our master teacher (probably in his late-20s at the time) in 1969 - 1971.

Order life was not as terrible as I thought it would be. The house was the best I had lived in for quite some time, perhaps the best I had ever lived in. It was as big as our house in Long Beach. The difference was that there was furniture and food and we did not worry about being raided because of drugs. There was excitement in the air all the time.

We really believed that we were going to change the world that we had incarnated on this planet at this time to bring about the New Age.

Everyone in the Order had a distinct role to play in the running of the household. Eventually it was my time to go out and find a job. Because of my interest in photography, and because I had taken a one semester courses in photography at Lane Community College I looked at photography shops in Honolulu. I was hired at the first shop I went to. The owner was a Japanese man and he had a large studio that did a lot of the primary photo editing jobs for Hawaii businesses. He had a weekly tourist magazine that detailed what was going on in Hawaii for the week. My job with the magazine and several other publications was to look at the negatives over a light table and find errors. I also worked in the darkroom to develop photos. We did many replicas of old Hawaiian photos that sold in shops in Waikiki. We rinsed the photos in a sepia toner to give them an old affect before flogging them to the gushing giddy gabbing globs of human social feces often referred to as tourists. Tourists will buy anything that they can cling onto for eternity as reminders of some place that has been visited and not forgotten in hopes that some passing other will make a remark about the clung onto souvenir and then the story can be told, ‘when I was in Hawaii…’. Of course now that my refrigerator is covered with magnets from around the world of places we have stayed I no doubt am one of those collectors of stuff.

Carol Ann would stop in at the photo lab.

She could not find a job. No one would hire her. She was just too strange. Even when dressed to look straight she looked like a stoned hippie. She would stop in to have lunch with me and we would go into the dark room and have sex. Carol Ann was living at another Order house and someone told us to stay away from one another but we found the ways and means to have as much of each other as we could.

Every evening there were prayers in the chapel and a few times a week the people from the other Order house would join us. During prayers, Carol Ann and I would sneak outside and go to the end of our dead- end street, where there was a cemetery and we would have sex there. We also would find ways to meet at Ala Moana Shopping Centre then cross the street and go to Ala Moana Park and have sex there. Often she would cry afterwards saying she thought we were doing the wrong thing but she was always willing beforehand and often Carol Ann was the one who set up the rendezvous. Looking back now I find it remarkable that she never became pregnant, as she did not take any birth control pills, having stopped soon after we met, and I never used a condom. We thought if she became pregnant that we would be able to stay in the Order together and life would be easier.

I have never understood the need for sex but I have always enjoyed it. As an adopted person, perhaps, I needed to unite with a woman and because of adoption; I needed to unite with lots of different woman. I was able to name fifty women I had been with by the time I was in my early twenties then I stopped counting and began loving. Women who enjoy so many changes become sluts according to society’s mindsets; as if they are doing something wrong, but men, well they are considered experienced when they have many lovers. However, for the most part I have been monogamous through life. It seems to work for me to have only a one-on- one relationship, especially if they do not last long. Now that I am 57, my view has changed a bit, as I am in my third longest relationship of my forty-year career as lover. My relationship now and it will be my last one of this distinguished explorative series of human emotional roller coaster experiments that I have been on has been bumping along for three years and ten months. From January 1 2001 until now, Sunday, October 10, 2004, and we are firmly together and will stay that way as there is no reason not to stay together (as of June 2021 we are very happily together, 21 years and going forward). My longest previous relationship, though we did not live together, I did not engage, so to speak, with anyone else during the time, was with Kris (Chris) from January 1, 1995, until October 2000. I was with what’s-her-name, the alleged mother of my children, from January 1980 until late October 1984. See book 2. Now, July 2025 I have been with the same person, Narda, since 2000 - rarely ever apart. Twent-five years and going storng.

Working in the photography shop in Hawaii became difficult for me. I made many mistakes and weird things would happen. For example, one time I was developing negatives and all the lights came on in the middle of my putting the photos through the developing stage. There was no one else in the building at the time and it frightened me no end. I tried to explain to the owner that there was no way I was responsible for the lights coming on and ruining many negatives. Other things that seemed beyond my doing but happened whilst I was doing them were that prints that I would put in sepia toner would come out blue instead of brown, negatives would dissolve right before me and images just would not come out. There also seemed to be strange people coming in that would have unusual conversations with me.

It was not just my job that I was finding strange; I felt all the time something was happening to me. I was excited to be one of ‘the chosen’ but at the same time, I was fighting within myself to not get possessed by the Order. It seemed that they were using mind control techniques and I was questioning what thoughts were my own and what thoughts were from somewhere else. Often, I would think that there were new thoughts in my mind when I awoke in the morning. Even though we had classes in the evening, about the New Age, as well as Bible study, there were things I had not heard in class that were in my mind when I awoke; weird shit that I had never thought about before.
One of the things that we had to do in the Order that I hated to do was wear clerics. I was not a priest or anywhere near one in thought or deed. The only difference was that brothers and sisters wore the white collar with a thin blue ribbon on it to show we were not yet priests. The thin blue ribbon would disappear when one became a priest. Every evening we had to go on ‘patrol’. I disliked patrol immensely. We normally would either troll the streets of downtown Honolulu, Hotel Street, or Waikiki.

Sometimes I was able to go with Carol Ann, but someone tried to say that maybe we were finding a place to kiss.
No one suspected that we were having sex every moment we could find a way to sneak away. Looking back at my decade involvement with the Order, some of that time I was AWOL but I was still involved, I am amazed at how little anyone else knew in the Order what others were doing. Later on, in the mid-1970s in the Order, I was not only having lots of sex but I got stoned constantly too, but that is for stories in the mid-1970s further on.

Randy did not seem to mind wearing clerics he said he could meet girls easy that way. I thought we looked like drug dealers in a disguise. Other dealers and drug users would give a knowingly smile as they passed. Little did they know we were spreading the Light of Christ or at least there were the passing thoughts on fleeting occasions in a twinkle of an abstraction that we may have believed we were on some such mission but that was not the usual thought pattern. Often when Randy and I would go on patrol together, we would put our street clothes; jeans and tee shirt, into a bag and when we got away from the Order house we would change and hitchhike into Waikiki and have a few beers at the International Marketplace. We would try to meet girls but we were rarely successful. I stayed in the Order because I had no money or way to escape the island. We collected one dollar a week spending money from the Order and there was not much one could buy with that. If I saved for several weeks, I could go to a movie. Our pay checks went directly to the Order. I knew I was better off than before but I had a prisoner mentality combined with a rebellious instinct and a mistrust of authority.

I had just spent years doing whatever I wanted whenever and suddenly my life was tightly controlled. I had a strong dislike of religion from my entrapment within the local Clifton Park Methodist’s intricate intra-pro-testant Sacred Tribal Value systems. I had spent two decades cleansing myself of beliefs that I did not want to drag myself down with only to get new ones tailored to the likes of me.

Even with the fancy New Age plot it was still old time Christianity with all its deceits and control and lack of a good time whilst on earth plaguing me. So for some reason I took it on. I had already begun to believe that there was more to life than the; we are born – go through some shit – then die, the routine that the majority of the world seems to believe.

Death is fascinating and has been a matter of speculation since the first human could grasp the slippery notion of It All ending.

There are so many explanations to this wonderful question. Knowing the Internet has all the answers that anyone could want to collect I recently asked the great oracles; Google and received 1,550,000 responses for ‘what happens when we die?’, Yahoo and AltaVista chimed in with 5,170,00 responses for ‘what happens when we die?’. Lycos coughed up 1,073,313 divine answers to ‘what happens when we die?’ and WebCrawler had 23 listings which is easier to contend with (October 11, 2004).

There must be more experts > fifteen months later Tuesday, February 14, 2006. Two years later, February 2008, there were 2,870,000 responses for this question. So if the answer doubles every couple of years we should have some six-million knowledgeable answers to what happens when we die by Sunday, December 23, 2012 when The Mayan Calendar says we will all turn to shit. Actually, as of September 13 2021 there are ‘about 770,000,000 results’ to the question in Google. I wonder if one of those links gives the correct answer.

However, to my dismay all the sites gave different answers. There are general patterns of beliefs to choose from that are either wrong or right. Wars begin and end over this sort of stuff. For example, the Judeo-Christian-Islamic thingy is that we come into being at conception – there was nothing before. We, as souls, hang out but one short life on this planet, and then, after divine judgment, we get eternal happiness in heaven, or eternal suffering in hell. Considering there has been an estimated 400-billion humans like us that have come and gone this is quite a wild thought, quite a slippery thought pattern when there are so many variables such as dying young or having been raised in the wrong religious structure such as Islamic, Christian, or Jewish. In addition, of course we have all the variations of each religion.

There are more than one thousand Christian faith groups just in North America and when we do the exercise over the world we multiple that many times more. The Christian Bible is not the only religious book to have many translations (though the most with its translations into 2,018 languages, plus countless partial translations, and audio translations for unwritten languages), the Qur'an and the Bhagavad-Gita have translations galore. My favourite, tellers-of-truth are the television evangelists telling us ‘what God was trying to tell us…’ because they know and if we support their mission to save us by sending in our money then not only will we know ‘what God was really trying to say to us’ but we will have the inside knowledge for a seat with God when we are dead.

I have questioned the Bible since I can remember questioning, especially the New Testament because there was not a start to its writing until a couple of decades after Jesus did his thing, whatever that was. Can you imagine being a witness of an event then writing it down twenty to seventy years later? Living in our legal Western society where the content of our memory is so important I have no idea how someone could write down something so long after the fact and say they were the facts. What I find amazing is that there is nothing written at the time of the incidents told in the Bible. The accounts are old before they became new. Then to add the fact that the entire New Testament as we know it today, was canonized (created as an authority of beliefs) around the year 375 A.D. and the first English translation was in 1382 by John Wycliffe then there is a whole lot of questioning to what is true. Of course, we know that people lived about as third as long as they do now, thousands of years ago – so ‘information’ got passed through many more ‘channels’ than they do now. The oldest piece of the Gospel was of John and that dates to the beginning of the second century. There is not any proof that anything written before that time exists. We live our lives and cling onto such flimsy pieces of reality.

The Order’s cosmos theology cleared so much up for me that all my old arguments did not really matter. I liked the idea that the truth we were given was an esoteric knowledge base given only to the elite, which of course I now was. What the masses believe is just stuff to control them, those who literally read the books of religions and believe they are the exact word of God even though the scripts, re-written and translated to suit whoever was in power at the time, may have not had any actual spiritual origins. Though the Order was a Christian Order it followed more of a Buddhist view. It is what happens to an individual after death that is so different from the standard mass-mind Christian view. ‘The Mass Mind” was one of the most endearing terms within the Order. The Mass Mind was everyone outside of us. Those drooling sniveling miserable un-conscious animals that surrounded us.

Our life now is closely linked to the way we acted in a previous life or even the result of many lifetimes. Rebirth and karma (action) brings about each moment that we experience. We are who we are because we were who we were before.

For me this explained life clearly. I had a shit life because of the past. It was not that God did not like me it was because of everything and every thought that I ever had before. I bought into the argument that we choose our parents because of experiences that we need this time and perhaps we needed to continue something or the other with the

characters in our current play. It all made sense to me that I was adopted by some diehard Christians because I needed to grow up in their mindset. My birth mother was a Catholic and that apparently was not the religion for me so she put me up for adoption and the Methodists swooped in and saved me from one set of Christians to raise me with another set of Christians.

HOOM brothers and sisters (with a ribbon on their collar) as well as the priests were ordinary young people. In the midst, however, there was always Father Paul.
We did share beliefs and these beliefs still make sense to me.
Another entry from the Order’s book: “The main thrust of the Order is an appeal to achieve a higher consciousness. This exalted state is to be achieved by attaining the same "Christ consciousness" as Jesus, who was merely a God-realized man. Members will then be prepared to enter the New Age of man's spiritual understanding. Their slogan, "And by their work ye shall know them," is paraphrased from Matthew 7-20.

People who have one leg or one eye or three heads or that are short, tall, ugly or beautiful are the way they are because of the past. Some people use their minds better than others use their mind and they then can progress far in life whilst others are dull and unmotivated. We are so controlled by the combination of our body and our environment that I find it difficult to separate myself from my body and my surroundings. Every itch and every pain or laugh is triggered by a chemical reaction and to identify with the chemical reactions going on within my body and saying that is me because of another lifetime becomes muddled in (miss)understandings.

Astrology does not explain anything better, though for many decades I thought it did. The frustration of living life is not knowing why we are living life. It is better to believe some teaching than not to believe anything. I no longer believe anything and it makes the moment and the future blank but then that is a belief that I have come to. I have believed several worldviews at some time or the other. I like the idea of reincarnation the most but there is no justifiable proof for it beyond it makes good sense and the Bhagavad-Gita tells us there is reincarnation. Why should one book be the correct story of ‘the way it is’ and another one not be? I also like the idea that God cleansed us of sin by sending His Son to die so that we could be free, but what is sin? The Order said sin was letting the middle letter in the word sin predominate and that is a good rhetoric too. At the end of the day, we speak and write from where we are at in life, I write in grief, and to rise above that and glorify creation in my current situation and mindset would be hypocritical.
We received another Master Teacher with the strange name of Master J. No one knew where that name came from and he did not tell us but rumour was that he was the Jesus disciple, James. The only thing I recall remembering from Master J was a private session I had with him once. I told him of the pain of my separation from Carol Ann. J in his cosmic wisdom told me she was not my soul partner which pissed me off. However, he did tell me something else that not only soothed my ego but also gave me something to hold on to for decades to come. I no longer believe it but it was cool for a long time. J told me that the reason I was so emotional was that I was a mystic during the time of Christ, that I personally was amongst His group, not a disciple but a mystic, whatever that was. In other lifetimes, I was a poet, I still had that memory, and that explained my poetic nature I felt I possessed this lifetime. J laid out the cosmic wisdom that I was confusing my heart consciousness with love in earthly terms that caused me the emotional confusion that I was obsessing about. The fact that I was a horny sexually deprived and therefore sexually obsessed young male seemed not to enter into the equation. I have had sexual fantasies that were well beyond what ‘normal’ societies consider healthy, in the history of humanity and not just passing fleetingly I want to get involved with a girl passing me in the street type of thoughts either.

We pass in the street 
Not able to go to love
Because we were not allowed 
To touch the  clouds
When we were young.
‘Get back over here and fondle us’
The rose demanded of me as I knelt to
pray
I jumped up nakedly
Ran over and rolled upon them
Their petals tattooing my erection 
But they  had the last laugh
As their thorns pierced my body 
To let forth  water and blood 
And writer’s ink
From my many wounded words.

I lost her at  an orgy in 1969 in San Francisco
So many arms-legs-and other parts...
Like a cauldron  of starving snakes slithering sliding
frantic tongues in eager mouths open
wide
exploring/experimenting/enjoying/exp
eriencing
Did all those  parts regroup - get back to their owners
Or did that pile of bodies stay entangled and  is now moving across the planet
her as its head
A multinational spider-web of lust Engulfing  all that goes before it like love constantly does
without me again

Master Teachers were young, usually in their early twenties and the reason they were Master Teachers was that the White Brotherhood had chosen them. The White Brotherhood were the ones who controlled the evolution on earth. The Order of the Golden Cross is allegedly apart of this mob.
Melchizedek the dude mentioned in the Christian Bible as being with God in the beginning is one of the movers and shakers in this club.

The name, White Brotherhood, had nothing to do with ethnicity or race but the White Brotherhood (The Great White Brotherhood) was just the English Western name for these angelic like beings.
(Great White Brotherhood) dates back to Sumeria at 6000B.C, and even before in some guise according to one of many zillions of knowledgeable sites on this group: http://www.illuminati-news.com/great-white-brotherhood.htm (March 12 2015)

The movers and shakers in this club are an organization of Ascended Masters brought together for the highest purposes of God on Earth. They could be what some folks refer to as aliens, guiding those who claim to have contact with them. If we are to believe the propaganda, the Brothers form a spiritual order of Hierarchy existing on a level above us mere mortals. Those who believe they have another sight beyond our physical sight communicate with these folks either in their minds or as some claim, person-to-person. Whether they were the original Anunnaki, or the Nephilim, translated in current lingo as “the Elohimor” - the Gods, from Planet X or some such place, I cannot say but I believe they are on days I have such beliefs.

The most famous or at least most sought after or perhaps most quoted dude associated with the Brotherhood is the Ascended Master Saint Germain, formally Comte de Saint-Germain.

Voltaire said of the Comte de Saint-Germain "He is a man who knows everything and who never dies.” Saint-Germain seems to have some followers in Mount Shasta in northern California and there are several New Age movements (I AM, Summit Lighthouse, Rosicrucian) using him as their deity.

The “Messenger” Elizabeth Clare Prophet champions him, believing she actually is his mouthpiece. The head of the White Brotherhood is Melchizedek according to some new age groups.
April 8, 1939 - October 15, 2009, Elizabeth Clare Prophet died of Alzheimer's disease which tells us that even the elite with their cosmic wisdom lose it all at the end.

Perhaps The Holy Order of Mans’ Master Teachers were part of this select group; they surely boasted that they were. In fact, there are hundreds if not thousands of these new age groups or new age individuals traipsing around the planet following the LSD invasions of the 1960s. They all merge and sound a bit the same, if their leader is vocal or at least an immediate follower, they can suck in gullible and needy people. I believed the Holy Order of Mans was the true Order, the group that was the body of Christ, the vehicle for the new age transmissions. Well actually I believed it at the time when I believed such nonsense. Now at age 74 I tell you it was and still is all bullshit.

The Lineage of The Rite to Ordain “The Rite to Ordain in the Lineage of The Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek of The Order of The Holy Cross were received in revelation by Father Paul Blighton. While this Rite was first passed through the body of The Holy Order of MANS, passage of the Rite was independent of that body. It is spiritual in nature; the lineage constitutes the spiritual authority to Ordain that was received by Father Paul Blighton prior to the founding of either The Science of Man Church or The Holy Order of MANS.

This Rite was first passed to five teachers of The Holy Order of MANS. Master Timothy Harris and received the Rite to Ordain in 1970.” In 2021 Master Timothy is still going strong with this stuff.
It is the human need to be in the right trip, period. Whether Methodist, Moslems, Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, or any one of the thousands of belief systems we believe what we believe is the right one, we will be saved, and everyone else will be pulverized into dog shit and sent to hell.

Claire Prophet said that she was the world's only messenger. That she alone is the mouthpiece for spiritual entities like Jesus, Buddha, El Morya, Saint Germain and many others. However, I began logging how many others made this exact claim and stopped at 57 “saints” who are the ones who will save us, including several from the Holy Order of MANs whom have set up their own Orders to save us all – or at least those who will follow them. If we want to follow this further we could believe the conspiracy claims that the World Shadow Government with the two clubs that allegedly rule America; the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission are the source behind all the new age groups. Conspiracy lovers with their counterpart newagers believe as well, that the ancient plans of secret societies, which of course, we believed the Order was a part of or at least set up by someone that was part of the new world order, are guiding us toward some ultimate goal. In the same breath there are the other clubs: "The Global Regime of Economic Interdependence" controlled by the Bilderbergers Club of Rome, Freemasons, The Theosophical Society, under the guise of the New Age Movement and the merging brands of Satanism, Cabalistic Black Magic, Enochian Magic, Rajneesh (Bhagwan ["The Blessed One" or "God"] Shree Rajneesh – Osho; 1931-1990) G...ian Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca and Sex Magic all in bed with Yale’s Skull & Bones members. It is enough to give one a headache.

It seems that all this nonsense is an outgrowth of Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati, which are today’s Globalists. Of course, the followers of all these new age groups are really just a bunch of hippies and losers who no new world order would have chosen anyone from to do anything for the good of our evolution anyway. These new age groups are just an extension of the drugs and sex mindset of the 1960s – a way to rebel against what previously existed. In the 1960s we went to Hawaii, some went to India and currently the same type of people go to Brasilia, Brazil where there are more than 150 mystical religious groups claiming all sorts of great and groovy new age things. Mystical tourism, with its UFOs and Saints, and Master Teachers is big money sucking in small-minded people’s insecurities and most of all their money. All in all these groups, places, and teaches give us hope in a troubled world. Of course, those creating the troubled world do not care whether we all think we are enlightened or not.

When a brother or sister in the Holy Order of Mans was ‘chosen’ to be a priest, they were ordained with the words ‘you are a priest in the Order of Melchizedek forever’. I truly did believe all this at the time back in the 1970s. I think of it as a bit of a laugh now though it could be true. My primary reason for thinking this a bit of a joke is that as I have heard of the lives of many of these teachers, a couple of whom committed suicide since the Order days, I cannot see any divinity in their lives. I will pass over the lives of some of these individuals as I write this story. Very briefly, there was the one who became pregnant from the head of the Order, Father Paul. He publicly denied it because as head of the Order, in his seventies at the time and she was in her early twenties, it was not wise for the brothers and sisters to know this. The official line was that she had an immaculate conception, though we quietly referred to it as an immaculate deception. She committed suicide years later as the truth of the story became widely known and after Father Paul’s death.

Another teacher died of a brain tumour and was very unhinged before dying; beating up his wife and a few others along the way.
As I knew his wife; a lover from my picture- poem selling days in New Orleans in 1973 – 1974, and I introduced her to the Order which she joined in 1974 and I visited her in the 1990s with my children in tow I know this is all very true. She found an earlier copy of ‘Leaving Australia’ online and was quite pissed at me so I have taken any clues of whom she is away. However, as forgiving we all are…ha ha ha…we are friends on Facebook and often ‘like’ one another’s posts.
We had the teacher that everyone knew was gay, and most of us did not believe there was anything wrong with it, but it was against the Order’s teachings. Instead of praying on the young males he preyed on them. It was reported that after leaving HOOM he frequented the bars in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District selling drugs and later contracted AIDS. Though recently he emailed me and he has started some new sect60F. A few of the Teachers are still in the religious games thirty years later. Master Timothy has his own Order; the Gnostic Order, and Master Teachers Andrew and Isjesian Rossi, whom I will discuss later, went on to form Christ the Savior Brotherhood (as of 23/07/2015 the blog at https://02varvara.wordpress.com/2011/01/16/when-will-the-official-lies-cease/ really tosses a bomb at the Holy Order of MANS), as an Eastern Orthodox
Church (throwing their hat in with the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Queens, New York - Vasiloupolis jurisdiction). In emails and face-to-face discussions with folks over the past decade I have discovered that there are numerous ex-Order brothers and sisters and priests and even people who claimed to have been in the Order who have started cults, Orders, sects, churches, and religions. Many of these stating they are the true legacy and continuation of the Holy Order of Mans and the White Brotherhood and the Order of Melchizedek. I will come back to this in my memories of the late 1970s toward the end of Part 1 and later on I drift in and out of tales and woes of the Holy Order of Mans in Part 2. In my grief struck-stuck Part 3, the part that will never be completed, I come back to the Order as a tale of misguided beliefs that could not stand the test of reality.
There is even a Facebook Group of them. I did join it but I have not visited it for more than a year. I do have some of the folks as friends and their posts all usually god-centred and giving one another spiritual advice. But in reality they are all old – most in their 70s. They still believe of their chosen lives but they are dying off and are having the same issues any other old person would have in ‘The Mass Mind’. What surprises me though is how much they hang on to the rhetoric of the Order and it is like they are still living in the 1970s just waiting to bring the planet into illumination. I believe it is the same of fraternity brothers or sorority sisters or people who served in the military are – they are clinging onto the favourite memories of their youth.

On the Preparation and Training of a Candidate for Final Vows in the Holy Order of Mans

After a student has been in the Order for his probationary nine months, or after he has come into the Realization of the SELF and has demonstrated his ability and his sincere desire to serve under this Order, he may apply for the full vows, the lifetime vows of the Order. If he is granted acceptance for these vows by the Esoteric Council, he should then be taken by his Teacher or a priest in good standing and counseled as to the meaning and reality of the vows he seeks to take. Emphasis should be placed upon the relationship of these vows to his daily life as a Brother.

On the day prior to the administration of these vows, the candidate should distribute all worldly goods to his fellows or to the needy or poor. This does not include trusts, inheritances and so forth.

But all the things that he has personally about his person should be disposed of. He should then be provided with a suit, five suits of underwear, five pairs of socks, and good shoes, as well as the toilet articles and his Testament and lesson books. In the case of women candidates, the same applies with allowances for the change in dress.

He will then spend the night prior to the day of his vows in chapel in prayer and meditation. At the conclusion of this time he may have confession if he wishes it, and will then receive his vows in the presence of the other Brothers.
At the conclusion of the vow ceremony the new Brother shall be presented with the robe of the Brothers by his Brothers, similarly to the way in which a new priest is presented with his robe by his fellow priests. He is then granted all the rights and responsibilities of a full Brother in the Holy Order of Mans.

A Guide for the Life-Vowed Members of the Holy Order of Mans

A full Brother in the Holy Order of Mans is a man or woman who has satisfactorily completed his training period under the Novitiate and Temporary Vows, and has attained spiritually to the Illumination at least, and has taken on the five vows for the remainder of his lifetime here on earth. He is a full member of the Order with all the rights and the responsibilities of membership within this Holy Order.

His apparel shall be as follows: All full Brothers in the Holy Order of Mans shall wear the habit of the Order at all times, except by direct permission of their superiors. All clothing other than the habit of the Order, such as work clothes, shall be kept in a community closet for the use of the brothers and shall not be possessed or used exclusively by any one brother…

I took Life Vows in October of 1970 in our Hawaii centre. It became such a natural progression in my life that at the time it seemed natural. This is the way with becoming sucked into any worldview, without knowing what is natural to us is far from natural to others and to ourselves at another point in our history. My relationship with Carol Ann was still undercover and we were both surprised that we did not get into trouble. Of course, we knew, or believed, that the Master Teachers knew because they knew everything, especially that we were fucking our brains out with one another any chance we could sneak our unfulfilled lust through to a seemingly justifiable momentary cosmic climax.

We were to believe that our mission on this planet would most likely lead us to become priests then onward and upward to become Master Teachers. The Order believed that it had the rites to ordain bestowed upon it. These rights were directly from the Order of Melchizedek of The Order of The Holy Cross that originated through revelations received by Father Paul Blighton from St. Paul the Apostle between 1965 and 1967, a mere two years before I joined the Order. These cosmic Rites were first passed by Father Paul to five teachers between the years 1970 and 1974; J. Anderson and Timothy Harris were knighted or became Master Teachers in 1968 and 1970 before they came to Hawaii and Andrew Rossi. Philip and Marthelia McCaffery in the next couple of years.

I would have email correspondence with Vincent Rossi in 1999. It started with him finding me on the internet and writing to me about research I was doing with my PhD. We had a dozen emails and he talked about what he was doing in life – still the cosmic stuff then after about a year we just stopped writing.

Master Timothy, who came to us sometime in the summer of 1970 made sour dire changes. Order life changed rapidly after he arrived. With the previous Teachers we lived quite well, we had plenty of material goods, a Mercedes Benz automobile, gourmet meals, life was fun, and the rigors of Order life gradually loosened. With Master Timothy, we turned quickly into the monastic Order it seemed that we were destined to be. All the thrills of our slightly opulent, for a religious Order, worldly existence disappeared. It did not evaporate but just ended in a quickened end to a fun type of way. It was as if the casino lights went out and just a low watt light bulb at the end of a worn string dangling in its place stayed. Out went the Mercedes and in its place we had an old clunker of a rusty station wagon. Somehow or way the message became that we were all to be more serious, we were told to take our divine mission into its newly ordained rightful place of saving and healing humanity.

I liked the dude, even with being so rigid.

He told us that he was the disciple Timothy and that he had been stoned to death and he could still remember the stones coming at him. With all his wisdom and cosmic sight, he did not realize that Carol Ann and I were having sex, against Order rules. One night when I was on patrol with Randy we saw Timothy and his wife go into an expensive restaurant for dinner. We were quite pissed off because we had only had potatoes for dinner and here was Timothy going off to eat well. A year or so later he left the Order and the Esoteric Council sent out a nasty letter telling us that Timothy had turned his back on the Master Jesus and had left the Order. Our instructions were to stay clear of him as he was condemned for eternity. Now he is the head of some cult in California and he is back on the cosmic treadmill gaining respect and praise and customers for the Lord.

We would receive eternal damnation if we left the Order according to their teachings. We had come to this planet to do whatever it was we were doing and we had to do it in the Order or suffer the consequence. Several brothers and sisters left whilst I was in Hawaii and we were to stay clear of them became they were bad for some reason or the other. Just as those cool Amish folks do with their shunning capers (Meidung, the German word for avoidance).
We did mind control exercises to empty our mind. This seemed to be a frightening concept for me as I started to believe that the reason we were to have empty minds was so that the Teachers could manipulate us. We did the orange exercise, sitting and staring at an orange in front of us with no thoughts but of the orange. Eventually we were to see through the skin and see the orange pieces then on to the seeds. I never could see beyond the skin and I could never stay focused for more than a few moments on the orange. I just started thinking of sex.

Another exercise was to put several drops of oil into a bowl of water and to move the drops into different patterns such as a square or triangle. I was not successful with that one either as the oil just clumped together. It was a strange sight to see a dozen or so brothers and sisters sitting at the dining room table staring at oranges in the evening. I still have the priest manual for special exercises. I lifted it from one of the Order centres. Now and then I will have a go at an exercise but it is all just about concentration.

Nineteen-seventy was quite uneventful. I lost my job at the photography studio; too many things too often went horribly wrong. I had a job with Randy at Woolworths in downtown Honolulu for a month or so. We worked together at a sandwich bar but were fired because we gave away too much food to poor and hungry hippies that would stop by. We thought we were doing the right thing and helping people but the manager did not like us. We rationalized that The Light (of Christ) filled us and that was why the manager sacked us. He could not deal with two Self-Realized beings whose light showed up his darkness. It never occurred to us at the time that giving away food at Woolworths was the problem. Of course, the manager was a wanker and an idiot in our minds and whether we were such highly evolved beings as we thought we were or not would not have mattered. I was unemployed for a while after that and eventually found a job as a cook at a large a restaurant in Waikiki. Carol Ann went through the initiation of Illumination long before I did and that made me jealous for some odd reason. Illumination was the ninth solar initiation. It was a ceremonial process done in the chapel with the Teacher bringing the Light of Christ down and sealing it within the individual. What was real I have no idea. When I went through it, I said it was like getting high, which it was, but I got in trouble for the comparison and spent a few days on my knees in front of the Mary Alter because of my analogy.
When I closed my eyes, I could see balls of light and I did feel peaceful but whether it was a result of
expectation or something else, I could not say. In all the years that have passed since then I am sure it has left me though once a person receives Illumination it was to be a lifelong experience. By the end of the year, Randy went to San Francisco then to Tennessee where he was to start a new centre.

The Holy Order of MANS was co-founded by Samuel L. Lewis and Earl (Father Paul) Blighton.
Extract from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_L._Lewis 17/03/2015 - Samuel L. Lewis (October 18, 1896 – January 15, 1971, the son of the vice-president of the Levi Strauss Company, and the former Harriet Rothschild, of the international banking family.) was an American mystic and horticultural scientist who founded what became the Sufi Ruhaniat International, a branch of the Chishtia Sufi lineage. After a lifetime of spiritual study with teachers East and West, primarily Hazrat Inayat Khan and NyogenSenzaki, Lewis was recognized simultaneously as a Zen master and Sufi murshid (senior teacher) by Eastern representatives of the two traditions. He also co-founded the Christian mystical order called the The Holy Order of Mans. His early interest in international seed exchange and organic agriculture also established him as one of the pioneers of green spirituality. His most enduring legacy may be the creation of the Dances of Universal Peace, an early interspiritual practice that has spread around the world in the 43 years since his passing. In 1966, he begins to attract a few young disciples. The following year he lands flat on his back in the hospital where God comes to him and appoints him "Spiritual Leader of the Hippies." In December 1970, a fall down the stairs of his San Francisco home gives him a brain concussion; after two and a half weeks in the hospital he dies on January 15, 1971. http://www.marinsufis.com/

But as is true in all movements there was friction between the original heads. Both of whom thought they were the cat’s meow. Facebook post 15/March 2015.

They fought mostly about who was going to run the order....I was there no one asked me I was at both revelations...got them too. but not in the way that Blighton said....he changed it and acted like he was the only one there. so he was telling Sam that his group was no longer welcome in the order house. and if they were they would have to take vows...basically to him Sam did not like that at all. then Earl started commenting on Sam’s consciousness.....now that started yelling by Earl. Sam just spoke frankly with him....like a friend. but mostly it was
about the separation of Sam’s group and the order’s group. I was sad. that was probably the first day that I found Earl to not be Father Blighton but a very angry man over a loving group and his friend. mostly I saw he used people and was a weasel to all....not that he did not have a loving side. a very light side but that is why my brother hit him in the nose.............beginning of Blighton’s rules or hit the road... Rob K… (Who was with the Order since its beginning).

The big event in the life of a brother or sister was Self Realization. There are many ‘mystery schools’ that speak of this but the Order was alleged to be able to do it in a shorter period than anyone else. Most Eastern schools say that it takes a lifetime of dedication and sacrifice to become Self Realized. Carol Ann and I watched many brothers and sisters brought into Self Realization, but we were never chosen. We theorized that because we were fucking too much that we were overlooked by the White Brotherhood or Jesus or whatever it was, and we decided to try and do the Order’s trip. We stayed clear of each other for a few months and I cannot speak for her but I did all my prayer and Bible work as well as the orange exercise. After Randy left there was no one else that was fun and Master Timothy was such a bore that I did everything a brother was to do.
