**FINAL TRANSCRIPTION**
=====================================================
Welcome to the Hour of the Time. I'm your host, William Cooper.

(opening music: [i]Also sprach Zarathustra[/i] (theme song of [i]2001: A Space O

dyssey[/i]) by Richard Strauss)

When I first saw the movie [i]2001[/i], I was amazed, awed, to say the least. Th
e entire scope of the movie was overpowering and, for most of the people of the
world, was completely baffling. Most people who saw that movie did not understan
d from beginning to end what it was that they had experienced, but they knew, ev
eryone who saw it, knew that they had experienced something profound. That somet
hing had been communicated to the dark, deep recesses of their mind which they d
id not understand and, indeed, which they were incapable of understanding. For y
ou see, the movie was not meant for the "profane" as most of us are called by th
e Adepts, or the Initiates, or the priests of the Mystery Schools. For that movi
e was a message to those Initiates who were well versed in the symbology and the
Mystery Religion of an ancient religion that is practiced to this day in secret
. Now, I m going to tell you the meaning of the symbology that you saw in the movi
e [i]2001[/i], and then each and every listener should go to their local video r
ental store and watch the movie again from beginning to end. For it is the story
of the entire human race, according to the history of the Mystery Religion of a
ncient Babylon.
Now, I can assure you that you will not understand any of what you are going to
hear without ample preparation, and without a basic understanding in the symbolo
gy of the ancient religion. And you're going to get that. And this is going to b
e a series of programs that will, in fact, take probably many hours to complete.
But let me just go over the symbology of the movie [i]2001[/i] quickly with you,
and then we will go back to the very beginning, to the first primitive human, p
robably sitting on his haunches, munching upon some vegetable, watching the sun
rise in the east.
In the beginning of the movie [i]2001[/i], most people who sat in the theater we
re struck by the imagery which was presented to them, as they first saw a dark a
nd grey and ugly world. And as that world begin [sic] to move down from the cent
er of the scree, they saw behind it, a moon. And as the moon begin to come down
with the world that was sinking to the lower part of the screen behind it you sa
w the emergence of the sun. What you are witnessing was an eclipse of the sun, p
artial eclipse, and as the light from the sun spilled across the edge of the moo
n, it took the shape of the boat of Isis and the sun, of course, for anyone who
has studied, the Osirian cycle became Osiris. And the symbology was Osiris ridin
g across the heavens upon the boat of Isis. Now, this will all have much deeper
meaning to you as we progress toward your education in the ancient Mystery Schoo
ls, which are today known by many different names, and we will get to some of th
ose names as we go along. This signified, of course, the creation of the univers
e and of the world.
And what we saw next was a barren plain: nothing growing, barren rocks, barren d
esert. And then we saw the sun begin to rise in the east over the horizon, signi
fying the birth of the world. As the sun traveled across the heavens, you saw th
e wind begin to move across the face of the earth, signifying that something was
happening. Then, as the sun began to reach its zenith on a prime longitude, we
began to see shrubs. Small green plants began to emerge. Now, the sun traveling
across the heavens did not, of course, signify a day. It signified an age. An ag
e, dear listeners.
As the sun sank deeper into the afternoon, we saw the emergence of animal life:
birds, and we could hear the birds singing, and we can see the animals. And then
, we can see primitive, primitive man in the form of an ape, mingling amongst th
e animals, neither harming the other, living in a state of innocence. And you sa
w man only eating plants and roots. You saw that, even when the animals and man
were in competition for food, no one was injured or hurt, but there was a displa
y of waving of arms, and yelling and grunting until one or the other moved away.
The significance of this was the age of innocence, when man lived in the Garden
of Eden. Innocent; with the animals, it was a vegetarian [sic]. And as the sun
progressed farther toward the west, we saw man begin to retreat into the womb. F
or you see, the passage of the sun across the sky, from the time that it rose in
the east, signifying the birth of the world, we saw that as it reached its zeni
th, its most powerful aspect in the heavens, life began to emerge, first in the
form of plants, and then animal life, and that the animals and early man lived i
n harmony together in a state of innocence. This was the symbology of the movie.
During this process, you saw a rock formation in the shape of the male organ, th
e penis. This was the symbol of the Mystery Schools, of the generative force of
creation. When you watch the movie again, pay attention to the symbology of the
movie.
Now, as the sun begins to sink even farther in the west, man and his little trib
e goes to the water hole and confronts another group of primitive man, all in fo
rm of the ape. And there is a confrontation, but you notice that no one was inju
red or killed. There was a lot of waving of arms, jumping up and down, grunting
and screaming and screeching, until the group that was at the watering hole and
had already quenched their thirst moved away, and then the new group moved in. A
nd then they scurried into the womb signified by the cave. And there was more sy
mbology there, as they all sat in the darkness with their eyes open in fear, and
one of the female apes held a child to her breast. And you were seeing man in t
he transformation from ape to human. Primitive man, evolving to the point where
he could think. And then what happened in the movie, toward the dawn, you heard
the humming of bees, millions of bees. And the beehive and bees were a prominent
symbol in the Mystery Schools. It signifies societal cohesion; industry. Now, n
ot industry as you may know it in the manufacture of cars, but industry in worki
ng together in a societal form. In this case, the very basic rudiments of societ
y. And as the sun again begin, began to rise up in the east, signifying the dawn
of the new man, the audience beheld an obelisk, a monolith in front of the cave
, or the womb, from which the apes emerged. And it appeared that the humming of
the bees was emanating from this block of stone.
Now, notice I said three words: monolith, obelisk and stone. All of these are si
gnificant symbols in the ancient Mystery Religions. And you saw that this was no
t God, because creation had already taken place. The world had been created, pla
nts and animals had been created, and primitive man existed on the earth before
this monolith, this obelisk, this stone ever made its appearance. It is also kno
wn as, the stone that you saw earlier, the generative force or the penis. Now, d
on t get all confused by this terminology. It will begin to make sense to you as w
e go along. It took me many years of study to understand what I am now imparting
to you. You watched as the apes milled about in great excitement, and one encou
raged by another, signifying Adam and Eve (the one encouraging was the symbol of
Eve, the one being encouraged was Adam) until he actually reached out and touch
ed the face of the stone and he was imparted intellect.
You can tell that something significant had happened because the tone and the ge
neral volume of the music changed at that point. And then the other apes began t
o touch and rub the statue. Now, most people that I knew attributed what happene
d to some extraterrestrial force, and they were receiving the exoteric interpret
ation, or that which is meant for the profane, those who were not illumined and
cannot understand what it is they are seeing. But for the initiated, what they w
itnessed was the creation of the world by God and the impartation of knowledge t
o man, the forbidden knowledge, by Lucifer through his agent, Satan. For in the
religion of the Mystery Schools, they believe that man was held prisoner in the
Garden of Eden by an unjust and vindictive God, and that man was not told by thi
s unjust and vindictive God that he could have the same powers. And man was set
free from the bonds of ignorance by Lucifer through his agent, Satan. And many b
elieve that the two are the same, and that s OK, because maybe they are. And that,
through the gift of intellect, man, himself, will become God. Now, for those of
you who understand what I am imparting to you now, you may not even have to lis
ten any farther, for it explains everything that has ever happened in the histor
y of man, and everything that is happening now, and all that is to happen in the
future.
As it progressed, you saw the first primitive man form the first original though
t with the use of the gift of intellect when he squatted in the dust, and picked
up a bone, and flopped the bone over, and saw it hit a rib, and the rib flew up
into the air and he looked at it. Then he flopped it to the other side and hit
another piece of rib bone that flew up into the air, and you could see the wheel
s turning in the mind of this primitive individual, as he lifted the thigh bone
and then struck down in front of him and watched bones fly. And then he struck a
gain and again, and then he crushed the skull of the dead animal that was lying
in front of him. And you notice that the portrayal of this was absolutely accura
te, because the next thing that happened was that this new gift, this intellect
and this original thought, led to the murder of another primitive human being. I
n this case, of the tribe that had not been given the gift of intellect, did not
have the ability to use a bone as a weapon because they had not made the connec
tion. And you watched, in the symbology of that movie, the murder of Abel by his
brother Cain. And you watched as he threw the bone up into the air, and the pro
gression of the use of the gift of intellect led you to a space station spinning
around the earth. And then the story began of man's journey toward illumination
.
And everything in that movie was a symbol for something else. Now, the audience
sitting who are what the Adepts, or the Initiates, call profane did not understa
nd what they saw. They thought that it was really about a journey into space by
an astronaut, or a group of astronauts, and the bad things that happened to some
of them and one survived [sic]. And none of them understood the significance of
the obelisks, the monoliths: one on the moon, one in orbit around Jupiter, and
the ultimate transformation of the astronaut into a giant fetus floating in spac
e.
And to tell you the truth, when I first saw the movie, I didn t really understand
it either, but I knew that there was something of such import there, that I need
ed to know. And I never stopped studying until I found out. And of course, one d
iscovery leads to another. And every time I answered a question, a hundred more
popped up until I reached a point, dear listeners, where I realized that if I st
udied for the entire rest of my life, there is not enough time in my life to lea
rn what it is that I need to know. But I have learned enough along the way to im
part some of my knowledge to you, and maybe you can help me find the ultimate tr
uth that all of us, all of us, ultimately learn to look for, although not all of
us ever realized that we are looking, and most of us never even understand what
it is that we are looking for, but some of us do understand that we are looking
. The Adepts, or the Initiates, the priesthood of the Mystery School, believe th
at they have found it and that they know all of these things. And I'm not really
sure that they do. Because in my search in my ultimate illumination--(laughs) a
nd yes, I have become, to a degree, illumined, illuminated--I have discovered th
at I am more illuminated then most of those who have gone through the process of
initiation in the Mystery Schools and believe that they know more then I do, an
d it's not true. I have surpassed them by so far, and they believe that they are
so far ahead. That it has become difficult for me to place myself in any kind o
f logical progression along a path that I am following, and I know not where it
will ultimately lead. But I know that many have been misled along this path, and
are worshiping the fallen angel that we know as Lucifer. Many believe that Luci
fer and Satan are the same; many people believe that they are totally different
entities, and that Satan is evil and Lucifer is not. But Lucifer rebelled agains
t God, according to the Bible, and was expelled from heaven and flung to the ear
th to be the master of the material world, the master of the earth.
Now, if Lucifer is indeed Satan, how this transformation took place, I am not wi
se enough to know. If they are different, then I have not yet discovered where S
atan came from, if Lucifer is not Satan. Now, there are people who have professe
d to know the answers to these questions, and have have sat down and we have tal
ked for hours, and I still am not sure that they are right or that they are wron
g. And I m still looking for the answer to that question. But I do know this: anci
ent man witnessed something that he described in his oral history and in his wri
tings.
And it could probably be called the first UFO sighting in the history of the wor
ld. [reading from Isaiah 14:12] "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son
of the morning [star]!" Now notice, Lucifer was called the "son of the morning
star". He was also called the "morning star", and there is a great mystery here,
because Christ also called himself the "morning star".
Now, how all that fits together, I do not know, but I have been told by those wh
o have been initiated in the Mystery Schools that Christ and Lucifer are one and
the same being. However, I cannot bring myself to believe that. What you believ
e, of course, is your own business, and it is not my intention to make you belie
ve anything, but rather to impart to you what I have learned over many, many yea
rs of study into the secrets of those who worship the ancient Mystery Religions
in secret for thousands of years.
For you see, that monkey who sat there squatting on his haunches in the desert,
striking the earth and the pile of bones with this great thigh bone, was the fir
st priest of the Mystery Schools. And it was this first priest who then began to
initiate others into the secrets. And they are the ones who have been responsib
le, according to my research, for most of the scientific developments and the fo
rward movement, as far as material progress goes, of the human race, for they we
re the learners. They were the ones who developed science. They were the ones wh
o hid their developments, and used their science and their knowledge and their s
ecrets to govern others. Usually not as kings, but as advisors and as priests, a
nd, in all actuality, the powers behind the thrones in ancient times, and even t
oday. They have ruled from the shadows, you see. And they have call themselves t
he Guardians of the Secrets of the Ages. And their first, their first, religion
was called astro-theology, or the worship of the heavens, and their first object
of worship was the sun. The second object of worship was the moon. And everywhe
re you see this Mystery Schools, or the Mystery Religion, you will see the symbo
ls of the sun and the moon, also known as Osiris and Isis, and the child Horus,
which I will explain the meaning of later.
Right now, folks, we must take a break. Don't go away, I'll be right back after
this very short pause.

(break music: continuing [i]Also sprach Zarathustra[/i] (theme song of 2001: A S

pace Odyssey) by Richard Strauss)

Man's new found intellect set him upon a quest that, according to those who say
that they know, has never ended, even unto this day. And the modern-day equivale
nt of this ancient Mystery Religion calls itself the Order of the Quest. And you
will see it reflected in many of their outward, exoteric branches, where they d
isseminate information to the public, or manipulate the public, or deceive the p
ublic, as the profane to them are nothing more than cattle to be herded, and occ
asionally to be led to the slaughter. In the movie [i]2001[/i], the quest led th
em ultimately into space and to the moon, where they were further imparted knowl
edge, by Lucifer again, in the form of the obelisk, the monolith, the stone, the
penis. And you will understand what that means later when we get into the Osiri
an cycle, or the legend of Isis, Osiris and the child, Horus.
When they were imparted knowledge again on the moon, it set them off on a furthe
r quest to the planet Jupiter, where they found a huge tremendous, again, anothe
r obelisk, monolith, stone, the generative force, the penis, floating in space,
orbiting the planet Jupiter. Now, the journey from the moon to Jupiter is signif
icant, for the astronauts onboard this spaceship represented the entirety of the
human race, and it represented that some will evolve, and those who cannot will
not be allowed into the future. You see, this was a message from those who rule
to all of the Initiates of the world. It was a message that the new age is now
dawning.
And you see that, at one point during this journey from the moon to Jupiter, man
, represented on a microcosm by the astronauts making this voyage, came in confl
ict with their own technology. The technology of the human race was represented
by the computer called HAL, and for those who were intelligent enough to experim
ent with the name HAL, and progressed the letters one forward in the alphabet fr
om what they were in the movie, H became I, A became B, and L became M, and they
were able to see that the symbol was of the largest at that time when the movie
was made and the corporation that was on the cutting edge of computer technolog
y, IBM [sic]. It was significant that man had built this technology, this comput
er, which had an artificial intelligence and was capable of communicating with t
he astronauts, and yet they had forgotten to put a switch in the machine which c
ould be turned off at will.
Now, you have to understand that this is all symbology. HAL represented many thi
ngs. He represented the atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb, chemical warfare, bacter
iological warfare. Represented the state of the art of technology, where it beca
me so complicated that no one man could be an expert in it, and thus might unkno
wingly participate in the building of a technology which could destroy him, yet
he only worked on a part or portion of it.
The knowledge of which did not indicate to him that the end product could be a d
anger, and we see that happening now, don t we? Where everybody has to specialize
in one small portion of technology, because the overall picture is so complicate
d and so far beyond our understanding, that we see the prediction made in the mo
vie [i]2001[/i] actually becoming true before our very eyes. Just in my lifetime
, I ve seen automobiles that I can take apart and put together blindfolded myself
as a teenager, to driving automobiles that I can lift the hood and not even reco
gnize most of what I m looking at, except that I know that it's an engine in there
, and I know that it's got a fuel delivery system, and some kind of system that
ignites the fuel, but the technology has surpassed my ability to take it apart a
nd put it back together again without many months or years of specialized traini
ng. And this has occurred across the board in our technology, and as I told you
before, I will tell you again tonight, dear listeners: in secret, whatever you p
erceive as the state of technology in the public eye, the very cutting edge, in
secret, they are a minimum a 50 to 100 years ahead, to the point where science f
iction is no longer fiction, and hasn t been for quite sometime, but is, in all ac
tuality, science fact.
You saw this battle play itself out onboard this space ship, where ultimately th
ere was only one astronaut left fighting the battle against HAL. And he was able
to make this jump in his evolutionary consciousness, and he was able to fool HA
L and turn off the computer. But when he did so he knew that he had relegated hi
mself to permanent separation from his fellow human beings back on earth. And, f
olks, the message was not that he went into space to affect this separation. Spa
ce was just the vehicle through which it was conveyed in the movie.
The message was that the new man will go into the future and the rest of us will
perish. We will not be allowed into the future. If we are, it will be as slave
labor until we were no longer useful, and then we will simply be exterminated. T
he message to the vast army of Initiates, the Mystery School, was we are on the
threshold of the new age, and into this new age will march only one, one, man. I
t is the new man, it is the illumined man, it is the man that is able to make th
e evolutionary jump to no more war, to no more rape, no more pillage, to the lev
el in the Mystery School known as 666. It is the number of a man. It is the illu
mined man to the Mystery Schools. To those of us who are Christians, it is the s
ymbol, mark of the beast, the indication that the Antichrist has arrived, and th
e beginning of the time predicted in the Book of Revelation known as the Tribula
tion.
Now, all of this that I thought I knew so well and understood has become even mo
re mysterious to me now, as I know that I am battling against something that is
almost incomprehensible and I have had to do it alone, by myself, not trusting a
nyone else, not letting them in, for fear that they would corrupt my mind and I
would be led down the wrong path. And I still do not know the answers, but I hav
e an awful lot of clues, and a lot of facts, and I have learned an awful lot, an
d maybe I am more confused than I ever was in my entire life. But after you hear
the results of what I have learned, and after I m [sic], for the first time since
I ve learned all of this, communicated to other human beings to let you know how
really confused I am, maybe all of us being confused together can put the pieces
in the places, and patch this mystery together, and come up what we need as ans
wers to formulate a future that we can all, all enjoy, without fear, without war
s, without lies and deception and manipulation, without elitists and terrorists,
crooks and liars. For I am going to impart to you during all of this that the p
riests of the ancient Mystery Religion are the ones who have caused most of the
misery in the history of man. And if they have not learned this knowledge, the S
ecrets of the Ages that they keep from the rest of us and use to manipulate us,
maybe, maybe we would have reached peace in this world hundreds of years ago. I
don t really know the answer to that, but I don t think much of what has happened in
the history of the world that was miserable, terrible, would have happened with
out these people. But I may be wrong, and as always when you listen to this show
, don t believe a word you hear unless you can substantiate it in your own researc
h.
Now at the end of the movie, what you saw as the astronaut became older and aged
, and this was the symbol of gaining knowledge and wisdom, and he looked at hims
elf and he saw himself younger, and he looked back and saw himself older, and he
looked back and he was older still, and he looked back and he was young again,
and then old, and then he saw this unbelievably overpowering, stunning vision of
 a fetus, a human fetus, floating in the great vastness of the universe, signify
ing the birth of the new age, and the new man, that will go into the future.
And on the sequel to [i]2001[/i], you saw that this astronaut, who had made the
jump, came back and talked to some select few, signifying that he had then becom
e a teacher to the rest of us, and when he was asked what happened to him, he sa
id, and I quote, something wonderful. Now, that was supposed to tell the rest of t
he Initiates of the world, who really understood the symbology of the movie, tha
t if they were able to make this transition, the future would be a Utopia. Now,
I don t know whether it will be or not, but I can tell you this: the priests of th
e ancient Mystery Religions are in charge right now, and we had better damn well
find out, and we had better do it very quickly, for the new age is the age of A
quarius, and the exact date of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius can be determi
ned astrologically and I m not going to tell you what that date is although I have
it right here on a piece of paper in front of me. I want you all to help in thi
s search. God knows I need help. I can t save us all alone, and there is always th
e possibility, because I am human, that I can make the wrong decision, or make t
he wrong interpretation, and that s why I formed CAJI, because many of us working
together and digging and searching for information are much more likely not to m
ake the mistakes then one man working alone.
Let's go back now to the beginning, when man was in his infancy on the evolution
ary scale of development. Man was alone. Alone in the sense that he did not have
all of the help and the knowledge that we have today that enables us to survive
. You see, man was then subject to the cold, to the wild beasts of prey. He didn t
have a home, he didn t have air conditioning in the summer, didn t have heating in
the winter, didn t have medical doctors. If he became ill or injured, he was most
likely to die. So, it did not take ancient man very long to decide that, in this
world, the single greatest enemy to be feared was the darkness of night, and al
l the unknown dangers that came with it. And simply stated, man's first enemy wa
s darkness.
Now, understanding this one fact alone, one can readily see why the greatest and
most trustworthy friend the human race could ever have at that time was, by far
, heaven's greatest gift to the world: that glorious rising orb of day that we c
all the sun. And that was the beginning of the battle between light and darkness
, and it was man's first understanding of the birth, the death, and the rebirth
of a deity. For the sun rose (was born in the morning), traveled across the heav
ens, where it reached its most powerful point, the zenith (and that will explain
why so many things occur at noon, or near noon), and then, signifying old age a
nd the end of its life, sank into the west and then died. And man was subjected
to the rigors, the dangers, the cold of night until as god again was reborn the
next morning.
Now, folks, I m not making any of this up, and it took me many, many, years of stu
dy to figure this out.
Man noticed that the moon also rose, lived a different life than the sun, and th
en set and died, and was reborn again. The sun, because of its brilliance, becam
e the master, or the greatest deity, and the moon took on the feminine aspect, b
ecause the moon reflected the light of her master.
And all of this will begin to make sense to you, eventually, as we go through th
is, because from now on, every program that I do is going to be devoted to this,
to the explanation of the esoteric religion, the ancient Mystery Religion. And
it's important that we all understand it, because these are the people in charge
, and don t ask me to tell you the truth of religion, for I really believe in the
Constitution, and that we all have a right to worship our own god in our own way
, and no one has the right to tell anyone, unless asked, what they should believ
e. You all know by know that I am a Christian, but I'm not a Christian in the se
nse that I follow the dogma of any church, or the preachings of any preacher, or
necessarily, word for word, the Bible. I stick strictly and only to those words
that are directly attributed to Jesus Christ, and I attempt to follow those wor
ds in my daily life. And it doesn t matter to me whether anyone proves that he nev
er lived, or that he lived or not. I have found that those are the most profound
teachings amongst all of the books and teachings that I have ever heard or read
in my entire life. And until someone can prove to me that there is something be
tter, that is what I will always adhere to. I do not advise you what you should
believe not believe.
But I do advise you that we all need to learn as much as we can about everything
that we can, because one thing I have learned in my life is that most of what h
e have ever been taught has been a lie. And that whoever these people are--and I
know who they are, and I will impart that knowledge to you--who are the priests
, the Adepts and the Initiates of the Mystery Schools, they are in control and t
hey are shaping the future, and that future will affect all of us. So we had bet
ter learn as much about them as much as we can. You cannot identify an enemy unl
ess you know the enemy, and you cannot fight a battle if you know nothing about
the battle tactics of your opponent. And when you understand that Lucifer is the
son of the morning star, or the morning star itself [audio cuts off for a few s
econds] then the creations of the members of the Mystery School begin to make mu
ch more sense.
Good night, and God bless you all.
