"THE BLACK ROBE OF POWER"

by Rev. Dr. CW Smith III

[COLUMN: Adept's Pillar]

Behind the clothes are the uniforms.
Behind the uniforms are the suits.
Behind the suits are the robes.

To wear mere clothes is to be another man's commodity. To wear a uniform is to be another man's pawn. To wear a suit is to be another man's master and another man's pawn, and to wear a Robe is to be a master over oneself and the universe.

The 4 archetypal garbs above offer the seeker of truth a dynamic approach to conspiracy awareness. Please allow a Magus to explain.

First, we have mere "clothes.' This represents the bottom and sum total of the manipulation; the masses of humanity that dress with garbs dictated by preset trends set by their masters.

Then, we have those who wear 'uniforms'. These are the enforcers and drones with no real power of their own, but rather, whose power comes from a defined idea that they never have full knowledge over.

Next come the suits, those who dictate to those in uniforms and ordinary clothes and who typically think they are masters of themselves, but who in fact answer to yet someone higher.

Following the chain of suits high enough reveals another kind of garb, the 'Robe." The robe is a symbol of wisdom and the sacred, worn by those who define the systems of belief and possibility that all previous garbs follow in some way. Amongst the robes exists the elusive 'Black robe', worn by the few who are truly masters of themselves and the universe that they have created.

I challenge you to set aside your flowcharts and pyramid diagrams for a moment and through your observations, see that the true masters are in fact clothed with the universe.
