This is because we have widened the scope of the newsletter to include all secretive organizations allegedly participating in ritual abuse. Editor's Page The following article is by Neil Brick, the editor and founder of S.M.A.R.T. Please use caution while reading. It may be triggering. Please note: all accusations are alleged. Please keep in mind that what is below are only ideas. If necessary, please check with a support person before following the ideas mentioned in this article. As always, "to thine own heart be true." S.M.A.R.T. is now entering its fifth year of publication. While the newsletter has grown considerably, I have grown considerably also. Before I started the newsletter, it was very difficult to find a place to speak about the possible connections between ritual abuse and secret societies. Often people would purposefully minimize these connections. Other times I would be denied a forum for expression. Now this has changed. We now have a newsletter and conference where these connections can be discussed freely. Other newsletters are now carrying articles discussing these connections. Unfortunately, it is still difficult at times to get the word out to help survivors. Both electronic media (radio, Internet) and printed media, at times have still denied the expression of these ideas. Certain conferences will not allow these ideas to be expressed in presentations. Even though I take the necessary legal precautions (like the use of the word "alleged"), I still refuse to minimize or water down the original message of the newsletter, that certain secretive organizations may be deeply connected to ritual abuse and that many of their members may be involved in ritual abuse. One solution to this problem is speaking out when you are ready. Finding safe places to speak out is very important to the growth of our fight against ritual abuse. The S.M.A.R.T. newsletter and our conferences are good places to speak out and find support and validation. I believe that the inner strength gained from speaking out greatly outweighs any damage one can receive from doing so, if done properly. This can be done by sending articles to newsletters that are safe (or safer) and speaking on certain radio shows and at conferences. If you can, please try to attend our conference this summer. There will always be some "infiltration." This, fortunately, can be kept to a minimum. "Infiltration" is probably inevitable, since some survivors are some times "split." But the support and solidarity shown by a conference run by survivors and those truly on our side is an extremely powerful message to those on the other side and the rest of society in general. It is also an extremely powerful message to those fighting to free themselves from mind control and cults. It is a statement that we will not stop talking about what happened to us, until it stops happening to others, and until we have all healed from it. This is our conference, let's keep it strong and make sure it grows even stronger. I am not a journalist at heart. I felt like I was, in a sense, forced to start the newsletter and now conferences, because there were no other safe places to speak out about these issues. I have learned a great deal about publishing and journalism since starting the newsletter. There were few examples for me to follow, since even to this date, there are very few ritual abuse newsletters out there, and none that I know of dealing with the issues that we deal with. At times I felt I had to speak out before I was ready to do so, but I knew I needed to because no one else would or could, it seemed. I am glad I did. I made mistakes, but the awareness given to this problem and the help given to other survivors well outweighs any mistakes I have made. I have watched many people grow, including myself. Though the future scares me sometimes, I realize that the work I have done will hopefully help to make it a better one. A survivor recently mentioned to me on the phone that we are all under mind control. I wanted to discuss some ways I have found to extricate myself from mind control, to some degree. Maybe some day we can all be free from mind control. Not watching TV This is not an original idea, but one that I believe is a good one to repeat. It is claimed that TV can put us into an Alpha brain wave state (glassy eyes) that makes us receptable to subliminal programming. I have always tried to carefully and critically analyze any news source and look for the twisting of facts or potential propaganda value in the story or presentation. There are many good books to read about this. Most of our media (at least in the U.S.) is very biased. Breaking addictions This is a hard one, especially for ritual abuse survivors. Some times an addiction may be a necessary crutch to deal with the pain of flashbacks, etc. But, inevitably, I believe one has to move on and feel their pain and remember their programming more and more fully. Addictions are not only substances. They can also be people or spiritual systems. Find your own spiritual system Some people leave one cult and end up in another. Or they may leave one severe system of mind control and end up in another, which may be somewhat better but still have many aspects of mind control. Issue #8 discusses aspects of cults. Why be under any form of mind control at all? Try to make sure that you are totally free from any aspect of another belief system that is not truly yours. Analyze everything a group says and does to you. Does it feel right to you? Try not to run to another spiritual system simply to cover the pain from the last one. I do not celebrate any holidays (including Christmas). I have tried to find my own spiritual system via meditation and other recovery techniques. Meditation has helped me explore my mind. Sitting alone and with others in quiet non-dogmatic settings has helped me work through numerous programs, flashbacks and feelings. I see many people that simply accept the belief system they were indoctrinated with as children, and never analyze it or look at other ones. See our political system for what it really is This is also not an original idea, but I believe a very necessary one. It is claimed we live in a democracy, but it appears that only those with money have any real say in what happens in our government and corporate media. By seeing how corrupt our media and government are, one can understand why both, often are on the side of those fighting against us and our movement to stop ritual abuse and mind control. People who are abused are often unable to fight and think for themselves and may live in fear. They can often be easily persuaded, (like sheep) to do whatever the government wants them to. That is why our recovery individually and as a group is crucial to the healing of ourselves and our society. Never give up This has always been my motto. I have been extricating myself from mind control for more than 20 years now, and I will probably be doing it for the rest of my life. I have refused to compromise in my search for freedom of mind. Of course, I have at times had to compromise to keep jobs and live with other people. But, I always try to make a situation better. At work, I choose where to "stick my neck out" and what to fight for. But I refuse to compromise when it means it would entail another child being abused or brainwashed. I assume I have made many people angry about my refusal to compromise on some issues and my refusal to water down my message. But I am glad I did. I now see things changing. We now have a voice. That has made all the sleepless nights and the grey hairs worth it. I hope these ideas can help you on your recovery journey. We can and will win. Radio Show Article The information and quotes from the following article come from tapes 46 A and B of the Mind Control Radio Series on CKLN radio. This show included Gail Fisher-Taylor, a psychotherapist from Toronto and "Caryn Stardancer, a California-based advocate for survivors and publisher of "Survivorship."" Please use caution while reading. It may be triggering. Please note: all accusations are alleged. "CARYN STARDANCER:... my abuse started in the forties, WWII...some of the things I first saw were a mixture of people who were involved in military, and who were in power settings and were doing that kind of experimentation. There were also Masonic connections. In the time I was given "mentorship" I was told there was something called The Pantheistic Occult, and essentially what that meant was that there are all different kinds of systems under which mind control can be perpetrated (or belief systems, religious beliefs, political beliefs). Basically the idea is that you target a person - by where their vulnerabilities are - dependent upon their cultural or educational group, the profession in which they are involved, where their vulnerabilities are - by what they already believe." "There are different ways people are brought into the system. Some of them are churches - there was certainly a church involved in the early contact with my family. What the Pantheistic Occult basically meant was that it ...doesn't matter what the belief system is, it depends on the person's adaptability, the way they respond to issues of power, and you move your way up depending on your adaptability. You may never know that there is a group larger than the one you are involved in, or you may, depending on how you move through the system, and also how the people who are in contact with you move through the system." "... the people who were teaching me about the Pantheistic Occult were directly involved in what was called a Dionysian Sect. That was explained as having started in pre-Christian times - it had to do with the profession they were involved in - which was the Law. Essentially most of what they were doing was political blackmail. The use of the children had to do with having them adapted to sex - for example, having them photographed in a film with adults who were being blackmailed. It was then easy to manipulate them." "The people bought into it more or less. Some were very cynical about it, and said it was all about power, it didn't really matter. Other people really "believed." It's so individual how different people respond. For example, in the one church I went to some people were very much involved in Satanism, and very much believed, but other people would just laugh about it privately and just say it's the system to get the minions, to terrorize them. In that sect, in all of the different groups I've been exposed to, and that's what I hear from survivors over the world, that it really depends on who you are, and who you are in contact with - how much people believe. The belief system is used essentially to indoctrinate, entrance, terrorize - and it's part of the mind control system in that all mind control is a conditioned response where feelings are put together with ideas." "...[In my childhood abuse], there were people there who talked about the occult tradition, and they traced it back directly to pre-Christian Dionysians. They had a whole occult tradition where they interpreted history, and they had stories about the different things that happened to the movement of their group. And that was just one sect that I was exposed to." Later on in the interview, in a response to a caller defending Masonry, Wayne Morris (interviewer) replies: "I am afraid I would have to disagree with you in the respect that we have heard allegations from across North America alleging that they have been abused in a ritual abuse context or sexually abused by high ranking Masons of the same Scottish Rite and the York Rite of the mainstream Masonry. Now that is not to say that all Masons are engaged in this type of activity - in fact I would think that the majority are not, and have no knowledge of it. But we have heard allegation after allegation of high ranking Masons in these organizations who are engaged in this type of activity." S.M.A.R.T. wants to thank Wayne Morris and Caryn Stardancer for their permission to use quotes from this radio show for this article.
