Hour 1: The Dawn of Man (aired February 11th, 1993)Welcome to the Hour of the Time. I'm your host, William Cooper.(Intro music: Also sprach Zarathustra) 1When I first saw the movie 2001, 2 I was amazed, awed, to say the least. The entire scope of the movie was overpoweringand, for most of the people of the world, was completely baffling. Most people who saw that movie did not understand frombeginning to end what it was that they had experienced, but they knew, everyone who saw it, knew that they had experiencedsomething profound. That something had been communicated to the dark, deep recesses of their mind which they did notunderstand and, indeed, which they were incapable of understanding. For you see, the movie was not meant for the “profane”as most of us are called by the Adepts, or the Initiates, or the priests of the Mystery Schools. For that movie was a message tothose Initiates who were well versed in the symbology and the Mystery Religion of an ancient religion that is practiced to thisday in secret. Now, I’m going to tell you the meaning of the symbology that you saw in the movie 2001, and then each andevery listener should go to their local video rental store and watch the movie again from beginning to end. For it is the storyof the entire human race, according to the history of the Mystery Religion of ancient Babylon.Now, I can assure you that you will not understand any of what you are going to hear without ample preparation, andwithout a basic understanding in the symbology of the ancient religion. And you're going to get that. And this is going to be aseries of programs that will, in fact, take probably many hours to complete.But let me just go over the symbology of the movie 2001 quickly with you, and then we will go back to the very beginning,to the first primitive human, probably sitting on his haunches, munching upon some vegetable, watching the sun rise in theeast.In the beginning of the movie 2001, most people who sat in the theater were struck by the imagery which was presentedto them, as they first saw a dark and grey and ugly world. And as that world begin [sic] to move down from the center of thescreen, they saw behind it, a moon. And as the moon begin to come down with the world that was sinking to the lower part ofthe screen behind it you saw the emergence of the sun. What you are witnessing was an eclipse of the sun, partial eclipse, andas the light from the sun spilled across the edge of the moon, it took the shape of the boat of Isis 3 and the sun, of course, foranyone who has studied, the Osirian cycle became Osiris. And the symbology was Osiris riding across the heavens upon theboat of Isis. Now, this will all have much deeper meaning to you as we progress toward your education in the ancient MysterySchools, which are today known by many different names, and we will get to some of those names as we go along. Thissignified, of course, the creation of the universe and of the world.And what we saw next was a barren plain: nothing growing, barren rocks, barren desert. And then we saw the sun beginto rise in the east over the horizon, signifying the birth of the world. As the sun traveled across the heavens, you saw the windbegin to move across the face of the earth, signifying that something was happening. Then, as the sun began to reach itszenith on a prime longitude, we began to see shrubs. Small green plants began to emerge. Now, the sun traveling across theheavens did not, of course, signify a day. It signified an age. An age, dear listeners.As the sun sank deeper into the afternoon, we saw the emergence of animal life: birds, and we could hear the birdsRichard Strauss, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Op. 30, composed in 1896. Featured in 2001: A Space OdysseyStanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey (film), 19683Interesting note: The Cathédrale de Notre Dame de Paris (Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris) is situated on the Île de la Cité(island of the city), an island in the Seine River, a river where the Isidis Navigatum was known to be celebrated during theRoman era. The Île de la Cité is the original birthplace of Paris, and from an aerial view, one can see that the island is boatshaped.12

singing, and we can see the animals. And then, we can see primitive, primitive man in the form of an ape, mingling amongstthe animals, neither harming the other, living in a state of innocence. And you saw man only eating plants and roots. You sawthat, even when the animals and man were in competition for food, no one was injured or hurt, but there was a display ofwaving 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. 4 Innocent; with the animals, it was a vegetarian [sic]. And as the sun progressedfarther toward the west, we saw man begin to retreat into the womb. For you see, the passage of the sun across the sky, fromthe time that it rose in the east, signifying the birth of the world, we saw that as it reached its zenith, its most powerful aspectin the heavens, life began to emerge, first in the form of plants, and then animal life, and that the animals and early man livedin 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, the penis. This was the symbol of theMystery Schools, of the generative force of creation. When you watch the movie again, pay attention to the symbology of themovie.Now, as the sun begins to sink even farther in the west, man and his little tribe goes to the water hole and confrontsanother group of primitive man, all in form of the ape. And there is a confrontation, but you notice that no one was injured orkilled. There was a lot of waving of arms, jumping up and down, grunting and screaming and screeching, until the group thatwas at the watering hole and had already quenched their thirst moved away, and then the new group moved in. And then theyscurried into the womb signified by the cave. And there was more symbology there, as they all sat in the darkness with theireyes open in fear, and one of the female apes held a child to her breast. And you were seeing man in the transformation fromape to human. Primitive man, evolving to the point where he could think. And then what happened in the movie, toward thedawn, you heard the humming of bees, millions of bees. And the beehive and bees were a prominent symbol in the MysterySchools. It signifies societal cohesion; industry. Now, not industry as you may know it in the manufacture of cars, but industryin working together in a societal form. In this case, the very basic rudiments of society. And as the sun again begin, began torise up in the east, signifying the dawn of the new man, the audience beheld an obelisk, a monolith in front of the cave, or thewomb, 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 significant symbols in the ancient MysteryReligions. And you saw that this was not God, because creation had already taken place. The world had been created, plantsand animals had been created, and primitive man existed on the earth before this monolith, this obelisk, this stone ever madeits appearance. It is also known as, the stone that you saw earlier, the generative force or the penis. Now, don’t get all confusedby this terminology. It will begin to make sense to you as we go along. It took me many years of study to understand what I amnow imparting to you. You watched as the apes milled about in great excitement, and one encouraged by another, signifyingAdam and Eve (the one encouraging was the symbol of Eve, the one being encouraged was Adam) until he actually reachedout and touched the face of the stone and he was imparted intellect.You can tell that something significant had happened because the tone and the general volume of the music changed atthat point. And then the other apes began to touch and rub the statue. Now, most people that I knew attributed whathappened to some extraterrestrial force, and they were receiving the exoteric interpretation, or that which is meant for theprofane, those who were not illumined and cannot understand what it is they are seeing. But for the initiated, what theywitnessed was the creation of the world by God and the impartation of knowledge to man, the forbidden knowledge, byLucifer through his agent, Satan. For in the religion of the Mystery Schools, they believe that man was held prisoner in theGarden of Eden by an unjust and vindictive God, and that man was not told by this unjust and vindictive God that he couldhave the same powers. And man was set free from the bonds of ignorance by Lucifer through his agent, Satan. And manybelieve that the two are the same, and that’s okay, because maybe they are. And that through the gift of intellect man himselfwill become God. Now, for those of you who understand what I am imparting to you now, you may not even have to listen anyfarther, for it explains everything that has ever happened in the history of man, and everything that is happening now, and allthat is to happen in the future.4Living as caretaker of the Garden of Eden (earth).

As it progressed, you saw the first primitive man form the first original thought with the use of the gift of intellect whenhe 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 airand 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 youcould see the wheels turning in the mind of this primitive individual, as he lifted the thigh bone and then struck down in frontof him and watched bones fly. And then he struck again and again, and then he crushed the skull of the dead animal that waslying in front of him. And you notice that the portrayal of this was absolutely accurate, because the next thing that happenedwas that this new gift, this intellect and this original thought, led to the murder of another primitive human being. In thiscase, 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 theyhad not made the connection. And you watched, in the symbology of that movie, the murder of Abel by his brother Cain. Andyou watched as he threw the bone up into the air, and the progression of the use of the gift of intellect led you to a spacestation 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 theInitiates, call “profane” did not understand what they saw. They thought that it was really about a journey into space by anastronaut, or a group of astronauts, and the bad things that happened to some of them and one survived. And none of themunderstood the significance of the obelisks, the monoliths: one on the moon, one in orbit around Jupiter, and the ultimatetransformation of the astronaut into a giant fetus floating in space.And to tell you the truth when I first saw the movie I didn’t really understand it either, but I knew that there wassomething of such import there that I needed to know. And I never stopped studying until I found out. And of course, onediscovery leads to another. And every time I answered a question, a hundred more popped up until I reached a point, dearlisteners, where I realized that if I studied for the entire rest of my life, there is not enough time in my life to learn what it isthat I need to know. But I have learned enough along the way to impart some of my knowledge to you, and maybe you canhelp me find the ultimate truth that all of us, all of us, ultimately learn to look for, although not all of us ever realized that weare looking, and most of us never even understand what it is that we are looking for, but some of us do understand that we arelooking. The Adepts, or the Initiates, the priesthood of the Mystery School, believe that they have found it and that they knowall of these things. And I'm not really sure that they do. Because in my search in my ultimate illumination – (laughs) and yes, Ihave become, to a degree, illumined, illuminated – I have discovered that I am more illuminated then most of those who havegone through the process of initiation in the Mystery Schools and believe that they know more than I do and it's not true. Ihave surpassed them by so far, and they believe that they are so far ahead. That it has become difficult for me to place myselfin any kind of logical progression along a path that I am following, and I know not where it will ultimately lead. But I knowthat many have been misled along this path, and are worshiping the fallen angel that we know as Lucifer. Many believe thatLucifer and Satan are the same; many people believe that they are totally different entities, and that Satan is evil and Lucifer isnot. But Lucifer rebelled against God, according to the Bible, and was expelled from heaven and flung
