know the truth and the
truth shall set you free

How little we know of the scale of eternity.
How dare we challenge the might and enormity
of such wisdom and creation.
A million worlds could exist in the heavens... beyond our site.
Each with living beings, looking at the sky in wonder
at the never ending universe.
They may also think that no other intelligence exists...
apart from themselves.
But perhaps they do not share the arrogance of the human race.
Perhaps they possess the intelligence to realize
that all things are possible in the vastness of forever...
Is it conceivable, that this earth of ours,
which is but a speck of dust against the scale of reality,
is not only being visited by other life forms
but is being controlled by them.
Let us not be blinded by our arrogance
as to what is possible and what is not.
Because we are children at the dawn of our creation
with the universe as our classroom
and intelligence beyond our imagination
waiting to be tapped... when we are ready to receive it.
Seek and the wonders you will see
will reveal the true qualities of your universe.
To the truth of your origins your hearts will go out.
The beauty of your origins will surpass your belief and comprehension.
And the infinite depth of your cosmic reality will remain part
of your heritage in the mists of forever.
The peace of understanding, is the beauty of creation.
The word has been spoken and the spirit within you knows
that home is eternity and existence is immortal...

introduction
to the 21st century edition
It is now ten years since the first edition of this book was produced against all the
odds. The publishers of my earlier books refused to even contemplate the
publication of this one because of the names it named and because the agenda for
global dictatorship that it reveals was far beyond the absorption or credibility
threshold of their 'New Age' minds.
The horizon was filled with disappearing backsides and clouds of dust, and, for
all I know, they may still be running. Or, given how successful this book and
subsequent ones have been, maybe they have learned a big, big lesson. Running
away from things we don't want to face is never the answer. It just delays, often
briefly, removing the control of that which we fear.
Either way, to publish this book originally I had to borrow £15,000 from a friend
in Liverpool, David Solomon, and set up a company called Bridge of Love
Publications to publish what no-one else would. I also called on the help of others
who had 'coincidently' come into my life in the weeks before - Alice Ferguson,
artist Neil Hague and book designer, Sam Masters, who has designed all the books
that have followed.
It was a challenge to do it all from scratch, but what satisfaction it has brought
with the years. In terms of the 'this world' level of the global conspiracy it is still the
most important book I have written and will probably continue to be so until the
day I leave this realm of manipulated illusion.
In the decade that has followed, the themes and predictions of And The Truth
have proved to mirror the events that have unfolded across the world. This has
included the blatant use of 'Modified Hegelianism', or 'problem-reaction-solution'
as I call it, to covertly create a problem to which the authorities can openly offer a
'solution' - changes in society to advance the global Big Brother, fascist state, that,
without the 'problem,' would be rejected by the public. The horrific attacks of
September 11th were a classic example of this with the attacks (problem) leading to
the response of 'something must be done' (reaction) that has allowed the
destruction of basic freedoms, rights and privacy and the launch of the thoroughly
bogus 'war on terrorism' (solution). See Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade
Center Disaster for the detailed background.
You will see as you read this book that in the mid-1990s the force behind 21st
century events was exposed in great detail, as was the agenda it was following.
Therefore, predicting then what is happening now did not require a 'prophet' -
merely the dedicated study and exposure of the network that controls the
xiii
xiv ...and the truth shall set you free
governments, banking system, global corporations, military decision making and
ownership of the media.
Today, thanks to the work of dedicated researchers, vastly more people are
becoming aware of the global conspiracy than were in those lonely days when And
The Truth was first published; and if I had to name the achievements in my life of
which I am most proud, this book would be very close to the top.

introduction

we are what we think

We live in a multidimensional universe, which is part of a multidimensional and
infinite consciousness we call God and Creation. We are multidimensional
beings. Therefore this book has to be multidimensional if it is to make a significant
contribution to human freedom.
It exposes both the daily manipulation of our lives by a secret clique and
presents the spiritual causes and solutions which will bring true freedom to Planet
Earth and all who live upon her. The latter relates to what we think and feel about
ourselves and before I begin to unravel the global manipulation and name some of
the people and organisations involved, it is important that I outline the context in
which I am presenting these matters. The last thing I want is for people to read this
book full of anger, hatred, and condemnation for the global manipulators and what
they are doing. I don't write this book to apportion blame, merely to show what
happens when the human race gives its mind away and how rapidly things will
change - are changing - as we take it back again.
I name names because we need to know who is behind the manipulation if we
are going to expose what is happening. This exposure will also give those people
the opportunity to face their actions and to see that the desire for control and
domination of others is an expression of their own deep inner imbalances and
dislike of themselves. The lifting of the veil of secrecy will speed the moment when
the days of such domination and manipulation are over. But the elite clique which
controls the world, the Global Elite as I call them, are our creation. It is no good
hurling hatred and condemnation in their direction for the ills of the world. Yes, as
you will see, the same grouping manipulated the two world wars and all the
negative events of global significance in this century and before. But without the
rest of the human race, they could not do this. An elite few cannot create wars
unless thousands or millions are willing to be used as cannon fodder. If people read
this book and hand the responsibility for what has happened only to the Global
Elite, they are missing the point I am making throughout. What is happening in the
world is the here and now reflection of what is going on inside us, the human race.
We created this reality. But how?
Contrary to what medical science is obsessed with telling us, the physical body
is not the whole human being. It is the fantastic physical shell through which the
eternal us experiences this physical world. There is far more to us than a body.
Creation is the expression of one infinite mind and all lifeforms are aspects of that
one mind: what many people call God. We are each other. We are all God, if you
xv
xvi ...and the truth shall set you free
wish to use that term. At the heart of this mind is a consciousness I see as a blinding
light - the Source Consciousness from which all has been thought into existence.
Creation consists of an infinite number of dimensions, wavelengths, frequencies, of
reality. This physical world is only one of them. These frequencies share the same
space that our physical world occupies, in the same way that all the radio,
television, and telecommunication frequencies broadcasting to your area are
sharing the same space that your body is occupying now. They don't interfere with
each other because they are on different frequencies or dimensions; they are
vibrating at different speeds. At the moment we call death, our mind-emotions-
spirit, everything that is the thinking, feeling us, withdraws from the body, the
'genetic space suit' as I call it. This eternal spirit moves on to another wavelength of
reality, another 'world', to continue its evolution. This is all that is happening
during a 'near death experience' or an 'out of body experience' when people leave
their physical bodies for a time before returning to tell remarkably similar stories of
what happened to them. Life is forever - for everyone.
Our mental, emotional, and spiritual selves are a series of magnetic energy fields
interacting with each other via vortices of energy widely known by the Hindu and
Sanskrit word, chakra, which means wheel of light. These vortices are spirals of
energy which intersect all levels of our being and pass energies between them. It is
through this system that an imbalance on the emotional level, perhaps caused by
stress, is passed on to the other levels of our being, including, eventually, the
physical body. This is how stress causes illness. What we call 'physical' illness is
really a multidimensional disharmony or dis-ease. We are constantly absorbing
magnetic energy from the cosmos, mostly through the 'base' chakra at the base of
the spine. After this lifeforce has passed through our levels of being and we have
taken from it what we need, we broadcast the energy out through the chakras back
to the cosmos and the world around us (Figure 1). These are the energies that people
are feeling when they say that someone gives them good or bad 'vibes'. It is the
same when we say a house or place feels 'happy', 'welcoming' or 'frightening'.
What we call 'atmosphere' is created by the vibrations (energy fields) generated by
people, either in the moment or in the past. People often feel uneasy at the scenes of
battles because they are feeling the energies left there by the pain, aggression, and
suffering of those involved.
There is a vital difference between the energy that enters through the base chakra
and that which we broadcast. That energy is changed in its nature and form when it
passes through us. It becomes imprinted with our unique energy pattern and that
pattern reflects precisely what is happening inside us at that moment, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually. Second by second we are broadcasting an energy field
that reflects what we think of ourselves. This may not seem to have anything to do
with the manipulation of the world, but it is, in fact, at the core of what has
happened and continues to happen.
You might imagine this process as like casting a magnetic cape or aura around
ourselves. Under the law of like attracts like, this magnetic energy field, the outer
reflection of the inner person, will attract to it compatible energy fields. Everything
we are what we think xvii
is energy, as even
mainstream, closed
minded science is
beginning to appreciate.
A person is a series of
magnetic energy fields, so
is a place, an experience, a
situation, everything. Life
is the interaction of these
energy fields, all of which
have the ability to think
and retain information.
Energy is consciousness,
consciousness is energy.
They are the same thing.
If it sounds hard to believe
that a wall or water or rock
can think and retain
information, then
remember that all contain
magnetic energy fields.
What is it within the
computer I am working on
now that retains the
information I am writing?
A magnetic disc. Same
principle. The reason we

are drawn to particular
people, places, experiences and ways of life is because we are magnetically attracted
to them. And that attraction comes from the magnetism of our 'capes'. These capes,
in turn, are a reflection of what we think and feel about ourselves. Our lives are an
exact physical replica of our own subconscious mind. How it thinks and perceives
itself and the world, is recreated physically in the people, places and experiences we
attract to us. When I was a child, there used to be a saying which went: "Think
lucky and you'll be lucky". This contains an eternal truth, although it has nothing to
do with luck. We attract to us people, places, and experiences which connect
magnetically with our 'cape'. Therefore if we believe inside that we will always be
poor and downtrodden, that pattern will be contained in the cape. It will become,
you could say, the cape of no hope. This magnetic pattern will then attract to it the
experiences which ensure that we remain poor and downtrodden. We will have
created our own reality. This is so, so vital to understand, not only in relation to this
book, but in the context of life itself:
We create our own reality.
XViii . ..and the truth shall set you free
Religions and ancient texts going way back have had a common theme of
'reaping what you sow', 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth', and 'what you do
to others will be done to you'. The word by which this process is now best known is
'karma'. Too often this karma is seen in only negative terms. Something unpleasant
happens to some people and they say it must be their 'karma'. It is presented as
almost a form of punishment. At that level, it is punishment - self punishment. We
created it, not some angry, judgmental, finger-wagging God! What we call karma is,
in my view, only another word to describe the way we create our own reality. If we
have imbalances that lead us to act negatively towards others, it is those imbalances
that will also attract to us a physical experience, a 'mirror' of what we think of
ourselves. In this way what we do to others will come back to us because we will still
be holding onto the imbalances, the lack of self love, that will attract those
experiences. If we feel good about ourselves and have a positive view of our lives we
will create that world around us. This is positive 'karma'. I differ from the New Age
view of karma which seems to believe that once we have done something, there
must be a karmic reaction no matter what we subsequently do. I feel that if we act
negatively towards someone, recognise why we did it, and change the inner cause of
that action, we change the nature of the magnetic broadcast, the cape, and we do not
then attract the 'karma'. There is no need because we have recognised the imbalance
within us. That's all karma is there for. Creation is about love. Love for self and love
for all. Karma is part of that love. It is a vehicle which allows us to face ourselves,
unload negative baggage, and move on. It is an aid to evolution, a gift, not a
punishment - unless we ourselves decide to make it so. No matter what experiences
you have had in your life or you are having now, you, and no-one else, created them.
Two things worth remembering throughout this book and your own life: the
victim mentality creates the victim reality. And: if you believe it, you will achieve it.
This creation of reality happens on many levels. The sum total of the interaction
of individuals accumulates in the collective mind of humanity. Every species has a
collective mind to which all 'individual' members of that species are connected. We
add our thought patterns constantly to the collective level and have access to other
patterns held at the collective level. It is a two way process. We give and we receive.
Scientists have established something called the hundredth monkey syndrome
which I have written about in other books. They have discovered that once a certain
number of individuals within a species learn something new, suddenly the rest of
that species can do it without being shown. They do it purely by instinct. Although
establishment science cannot explain this by its incredibly limited view of life, the
process is very simple. Once that certain number within a species has transferred
the new knowledge into the collective level, a point of 'critical mass' is reached. The
knowledge becomes powerful enough in the collective mind for it to be accessed by
every other member of the species. When they attune themselves to the vibration
(the thought pattern) which contains that knowledge, they know how to do
something without being shown, because that thought pattern is guiding them. We
call it instinct or inspiration when it is really tuning to a vibration (a frequency) that
holds that information.
we are what we think xix
All that I have said about the individual creating their own reality equally
applies to the collective human mind. It reflects the sum total of human thinking,
the sum total of what humanity as a whole thinks of itself. If humanity doesn't like
itself, love itself, and respect itself, it will create that reality on this planet. It will
attract to it physical manifestations of how it views its own sense of worth and
potential. Only this time, the magnetic cape is not cast around only one person, but
the entire planet. This creates the global reality.
Look at the consequences of this process in our every day lives. Humanity as a
whole wishes to give away its responsibility for what happens in the world. When
anything goes wrong, we hear the cry: "What are they going to do about it?" We
rarely look at ourselves for responsibility. We may like to complain about politicians
and bankers, but most people would still rather others ran the world than accept
the responsibility for playing their part. These are the thought patterns which
dominate the collective mind and it has therefore created that reality on a collective,
global, scale. The collective mind has created a response to that desire for someone
else to 'do it' by attracting together the energy fields - people - to construct the
secret network which now controls the direction of everyone's lives. We have been
given what we asked for, or 'thought' for. It is the same with religions. They, too, are
created by the thought patterns of the collective mind, as are the media and other
institutions which use fear and guilt for purposes of manipulation and control.
These reflect, collectively, what billions of people do in their everyday lives. They
manipulate fear and guilt to get their way. Observe yourself for a few days and see
how many times you (and others) use fear and guilt to control a situation. We do
it without realising and we pass this attitude on to our children. What is it we
say to them?
"You naughty boy. If you do that again, I'll give you a big smack. Wait till your dad gets
home, he'll make you sorry for what you've done." (Fear)
"You naughty girl. How could you do that to your mummy and daddy? How could you
make us so sad and unhappy? And all we have done for you." (Guilt)
These are only minor examples of the way fear and guilt are used on children.
From an early age they learn to do the same to others. By the time we reach the
adult world and the interrelationships that go on there, the use of fear and guilt for
control and manipulation has become an art form. They ought to award medals for
it! This thought pattern has consequently dominated the collective mind, and it has
created the collective physical reflection of this - the religions and other institutions
which tell us what to think and use fear and guilt to control. Again, we created
them. They are a reflection of us, the collective us, at least. That's good news
because we have the power to remove this global manipulation by removing our
personal manipulation.
Such a transformation of human perception is so vital to the future of this planet
and the world we leave our children. Humanity's desire to give its mind away has
