Chapter Four: How the Illuminati Program People:
An Overview of Some Basic Types of Programming
by: Svali
In the first few chapters, I defined Illuminism, its reach, and some
of the philosophy, money making enterprises, and agendas that help
explain WHY they program people. I believe that these are important
to understand, as a preface to the next few chapters. Why? The
programming techniques that I will describe take an incredible
amount of effort, time, dedication, and planning on the part of the
cult to place in the individual. Only a very motivated group of
people would spend the time it takes to do this. These chapters are
very hard for me to write, as an individual, since my role in the
cult was that of a programmer. So, the very techniques you will be
reading about were often those that I used to place programming in
individuals that I worked with. I no longer do these things, nor do
I espouse doing them; the reason I am writing this book is that I
believe that therapists who work with DID, as well as survivors,
deserve to know WHAT is done to people, HOW it is done, as well as
be given some ideas on how to undo the programming that the cult
places in people.
First, I would like to address unintentional programming versus
intentional programming. This is also known as the environmental
milieu the child is raised in. The programming of a generational
Illuminati infant often begins before its birth (this will be
addressed later) but once it is born, the very environment the
infant is raised in becomes a form of programming. Often, the infant
is raised in a family environment that combines daytime abandonment
with dysfunction in the parental figures. The infant soon learns
that the nighttime, and cult activities, are the truly important
ones. The infant may be deprived of attention, or even abused, in
the daytime; and is only treated as special, or "seen" by the
parent, in the cult setting. This can lead to very young alters
around the core or core splits, who feel "invisible", abandoned,
rejected, unworthy of love or attention, or that they don't even
exist, unless they are doing a job for their "family".
Another milieu and conditioning process the infant must face is that
the adults around him/her are INCONSISTENT, since the adults in a
generational cult family are almost always also multiple, or DID.
This sets up a reality for the infant/toddler that the parents act
one way at home; an entirely different way at cult gatherings; and
yet a different way in normal society.
Since these are the infant's earliest experiences of adults and
adult behaviors, it has no choice but to accept this reality that
human beings act in shockingly different ways in different settings.
While unintentional, this sets the infant up for later dissociation,
in mimicry of the adults around it.
INTENTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Intentional programming of an infant in the Illuminati often begins
before birth. Prenatal splitting is well known in the cult, as the
fetus is very capable of fragmenting in the womb due to trauma. This
is usually done between the seventh and ninth month of pregnancy.
Techniques used include: placing headphones on the mother's abdomen,
and playing loud, discordant music (such as some modern classical
pieces, or even Wagner's operas). Loud, heavy rock has also been
used. Other methods include having the mother ingest quantities of
bitter substances, to make the amniotic fluid bitter, or yelling at
the fetus inside the womb. The mother's abdomen may be hit as well.
Mild shock to the abdomen may be applied, especially when term is
near, and may be used to cause premature labor, or ensure that the
infant is born on a ceremonial holiday. Certain labor inducing drugs
may be also given if a certain birth date is desired.
Once the infant is born, testing is begun at a very early age,
usually during the first few weeks of life. The trainers, who are
taught to look for certain qualities in the infant, will place it on
a velvet cloth on a table, and check its reflexes to different
stimuli. The infant's strength, how it reacts to heat, cold, and
pain are all tested. Different infants react differently, and the
trainers are looking for dissociative ability, quick reflexes, and
reaction times. They are also encouraging early dissociation in the
infant with these tests.
The infant will also be abused, to create fragments. Methods of
abuse can include: rectal probes; digital anal rape; electric shocks
at low levels to the fingers, toes, and genitalia; cutting the
genitalia in ritual circumstances (in older infants). The intent is
to begin fragmentation before a true ego state develops, and
customize the infant to pain and reflexive dissociation from pain
(yes, even tiny infants dissociate; I have seen it time and time
again; they will glow blank and limp, or glassy, in the face of
continued trauma.)
Isolation and abandonment programming will sometimes be begun as
well, in a rudimentary sense. The infant is abandoned, or uncared
for by adults, intentionally during the daytime, then picked up,
soothed, cleaned up and paid attention to in the context of
preparing for a ritual or group gathering. This is done in order to
help the infant associate night gatherings with "love" and
attention, and to help the bonding process to the cult, or "family".
The infant will be taught to associate maternal attention with going
to rituals, and eventually will associate cult gatherings with
feelings of security.
As the infant grows older, i.e. at 15 to 18 months, more fragmenting
is intentionally done by having the parents as well as cult members
abuse the infant more methodically. This is done by intermittently
soothing, bonding with the infant, then shocking it on its digits;
the infant may be dropped from heights to a mat or mattress and
laughed at as it lays there startled and terrified, crying. It may
be placed in cages for periods of time, or exposed to short periods
of isolation. Deprivation of food, water, and basic needs may begin
later in this stage. All of these methods are done in order to
create intentional dissociation in the infant. The infant of this
age may be taken to group meetings, but outside of special
occasions, or dedications, will have no active role yet in the cult
setting. The small infants are usually left with a cult member, or
caretaker, who watches them during the group's activities; this
caretaker role is usually rotated among lower level or teenage
members.
Between the ages of 20 and 24 months, the toddler may begin the
"steps of discipline" which the Illuminati use to teach their
children. The age the child begins them will vary, depending upon
the group, the parent, the trainer, and the child. These "steps of
discipline" would be better called "steps of torment and abuse" as
their purpose is to create a highly dissociative child, out of touch
with their feelings, who is completely and unthinkingly loyal to the
cult. The order of the steps may also be varied a little, depending
on the whims of the trainer or parents.
I will first discuss the first five steps of discipline: (note:
these steps may vary somewhat from region to region, but most follow
this outline at least roughly, even if not in the same order)
First step: to not need
The small toddler/child is placed in a room without any sensory
stimulus, usually a training room with gray, white, or beige walls.
The adult leaves and the child is left alone, for periods of time:
these may vary from hours, to an entire day as the child grows
older. If the child begs the adult to stay, and not leave, or
screams, the child is beaten, and told that the periods of isolation
will increase until they learn to stop being weak. The ostensible
purpose of this discipline is to teach the child to rely on its own
internal resources, and not on outside people ("strengthen it").
What it actually does is create a huge terror of abandonment within
the child. When the adult, or trainer, returns to the room, the
child is often found rocking itself, or hugging itself in a corner,
occasionally almost catatonic from fear. The trainer will then
"rescue" the child, feed and give it something to drink and bond
with the child as their "savior". The trainer will tell them the
"family" told the trainer to rescue the child, because its family
"loves" it. The trainer will instill cult teachings, at this point,
into the helpless, fearful, and almost insanely grateful child who
has just been "rescued" from isolation. The trainer will reinforce
in the child over and over how much it "needs " its family, who just
rescued it from death by starvation or abandonment. This will teach
the very young toddler to associate comfort and security with
bonding with its trainer, who may be one of its parents, and being
with "family" members. The cult is very aware of child developmental
principles, and has developed exercises like the above after
hundreds of years of teaching very young children.
Second step: to not want
This step is very similar to the first step, and actually reinforces
it. It will be done intermittently with the first step over the next
few years of the child's life. Again, the child is left alone in a
training room, or isolated room, without food or water for a long
period of time. An adult will enter the room, with a large pitcher
of ice water, or food. If the child asks for either, as the adult is
eating or drinking in front of the child, he/she is severely
punished for being weak and needy. This step is reinforced, until
the child learns not to ask for food or water unless it is offered
first. The ostensible reason the cult gives for this step is that it
creates a child who is strong, and can go without food and water for
longer and longer periods of time. The real reason this is done is
that it creates a child who is completely dissociated from its own
needs for food, water, or other comforts, who becomes afraid to ask
outside adults for help. This creates in the child a hyper-vigilance
as she/he learns to look for outside adults for cues on when it is
okay to fulfill needs, and not to trust her/his own body signals.
The child is already learning to look outside itself to others to
learn how it should think or feel, instead of trusting its own
feelings. The cult now becomes the locus of control for the child.
Third step: to not wish
The child is placed in a room with favorite toys, or objects. A kind
adult comes into the room and engages the child in play. This adult
my be a friend, aunt, parent, or trainer. The child and adult may
engage in fantasy play about the child's secret wishes, dreams, or
wants. This will occur on several occasions, and the child's trust
is slowly gained. At some later point, the child is severely
punished for any aspect of wishing or fantasy shared with the adult,
including the destruction of favorite toys, going in and undoing or
destroying secret safe places the child may have created, or even
destroying non cult protectors. This step is repeated, with
variations, many times over the ensuing years. Occasionally, the
child's siblings, parents, or friends will be used to reveal inside
fantasies the child has revealed to them during the daytime, or in
unguarded moments. The ostensible reason the cult gives for this
step is to create a child who doesn't fantasize, who is more
outwardly directed, less inwardly directed. In other words, the
child is to look to adults for permission in all aspects of its
life, including internal. The reality is that this step destroys all
safe places the child has created internally, to retreat from the
horrors it is experiencing. This step creates in the child the
feeling that there is no true safety, that the cult will find out
everything it thinks. Exercises like this are also used to create
young alters in the child who will self report to the cult trainers
any secret safe places, or covert wishes against the cult, that
other alters have. This will then begin to set up intersystem
hostility and divisiveness, which the cult will manipulate
throughout the person's life span in order to control them.
Fourth step: the survival of the fittest
This step is used in order to begin creating perpetrator alters in
the young child. ALL CULT MEMBERS WILL BE EXPECTED TO BECOME
PERPETRATORS; THIS BEGINS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD. The child is brought
into a room where there is a trainer and another child of
approximately the same age, or slightly younger, that the child
being taught. The child is severely beaten, for a long period of
time, by the trainer, then told to hit the other child in the room,
or they will be beaten further. If the child refuses, it is punished
severely, the other child is punished as well, then the child is
told to punish the other child. If the child continues to refuse, or
cries, or tries to hit the trainer instead, they will continue to be
beaten severely, and told to hit the other child, to direct its
anger at the other child. This step is repeated until the child
finally complies. This step is begun around age 2 to 2 1/2, and is
used to create aggressive perpetrator alters in the young child. As
the child becomes older, the punishing tasks become more and more
brutal. Children are expected to become perpetrators of others at
very young ages, and will "practice" on children younger than
themselves, with the encouragement and rewarding by the adults
around them. They will also be mimicking these adults, who role
model perpetration constantly as normal. The child will be taught
that this is the acceptable outlet for the aggressive impulses and
rage that are created by the brutality the child is constantly being
exposed to.
Fifth step: the code of silence
Many, many different stratagems are used to put this in, starting at
around the age of two years old, when a child starts becoming more
verbal. Usually, after a ritual or group gathering, the child is
asked about what they saw, or heard, during the meeting. Like most
obedient young children, they will comply. They are immediately
severely beaten, or tortured, and a new alter is created, who is
told to keep or guard the memories of what was seen, on pain of
their life. The new part always agrees. The child and this new part
are put through a ceremony of swearing to never ever tell; and
alters are created whose job it is to kill the body, if the other
parts ever remember.
The child is also put through severe psychological torture to ensure
that it will never be tempted to tell, including: being buried
alive; near drowning; watching "traitor's deaths" involving slow
painful torture, such as being burned, or skinned alive; being
buried with a partially rotted corpse and being told that they will
become a corpse like it if they ever tell, etc. The scenarios go on
and on, invented by people with endlessly cruel imaginations, in
order to ensure the secrecy of the young child. These methods have
been perfected over hundreds of years of practice by the cult with
its children. The reason these things are done is self evident: the
cult is involved in criminal activities, as explained in the first
few chapters of this book, and they want to ensure the continued
silence of its children. This is one reason why the cult has
survived so long, and with its continued shroud of secrecy; why more
survivors are afraid/unwilling to disclose their abuse. In order to
reveal cult secrets, a child must go against some of the most
tremendously horrendous psychological trauma and abuse imaginable;
even as an adult, the survivor has difficulty putting these things
aside, when discussing their abuse. Children and adults alike are
told that if they ever tell, they will be hunted down and shot (the
assassin training lets the child know that this is no idle threat);
that they will be tortured slowly. The child will be exposed to
setups and role plays throughout their growing up that reinforces
this step.
SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY HELP
I believe in also offering some ideas on how to undo some of the
above mentioned programming, as I do not believe in knowledge, only
for knowledge's sake. The survivor often needs tools, in order to
try and undo some of the horrendous abuse that the cult places
him/her through, especially as memories of these things occur.
THESE
ARE JUST MEANT AS HELPFUL HINTS AND DO NOT REPLACE THE ADVICE OF A
GOOD THERAPIST.
1. Early milieu programming: This is difficult to undo, since it
hits on core abandonment issues, and rejection, for the survivor.
This will often have been the survivor's very first, earliest
experiences as an infant, involving its relationship with its
parents and primary family members. Working on this requires the
whole hearted effort of all alter systems inside, to join in
nurturing the core splits who experienced severe parental rejection,
and the cognitive recognition that the DAYTIME was important, too;
that the adults around the infant were the unhealthy ones. The
infant's often feel unlovable, overly needy, depressed; but
nurturing alters inside can help comfort them, and share the reality
that the infant really was loveable, no matter what the outside
adults around it were like. Here, too, an outside supportive
therapist, and a strong, nurturing faith system, can help
tremendously in the healing process, as new messages are brought in
to the abandoned, wounded parts. Sorting through what happened,
grieving over the real issues of abandonment, and bringing reality
to very young, deeply wounded parts will take time.
2.
Early intentional fragmentation: (ages 0 to 24 months) Usually
there are cognitive parts of the survivor inside, who have never
ever forgotten the abuse, and can help share the cognitive reality
of the abuse with the amnesic alters. This should be done extremely
slowly, since this first abuse was done quite early in life.
Creating an internal nursery, with safe toys, objects, can help.
Older nurturing adult alters inside can help hold and care for the
wounded infants inside the nursery, while acknowledging and grieving
over the abuse which occurred. It is important to believe an
validate the young parts when they come forward to share. Allowing
them nonverbal ways of expressing themselves can help, as these are
quite young parts, who often cannot talk yet. Having older children
inside who are close to the infants verbalize their wants, needs,
and fears can also help, as often the youngest parts inside do not
trust ANY adults, even internal ones. A strong ,caring outside
therapist is also important to healing, by modeling healthy
nurturing to a system that may have no concept of this, while
balancing the need of the infant for outside nurture with the need
for the internal system(s) to learn their own self nurture
techniques. Internal helpers can reach the infants, ground them,
share present reality (that the body is older, the infants are safe,
etc. These helpers may be internal older children, as mentioned
before). The survivor may also want to find support adults when
possible, who can help with modeling healthy caring with good
boundaries.
A THERAPIST OR FRIEND CANNOT RE-PARENT THE SURVIVOR. The survivor
will long for this, but realistically, the survivor has one set of
parents, good or bad, or sadly, even terrible. No outside person can
come in and redo the complete re-parenting of another. What the
therapist and support person can offer will be caring, empathy,
listening, while the survivor grieves over the loss of adequate
nurture. They can offer friendship or empathy with good boundaries.
They cannot become the survivor's parents, or therapy will not
progress. Instead, enmeshment will begin.
3. The First Five Steps of Discipline (there are twelve total;
others will be addressed in later chapters) Try to find the parts
that experienced the abuse. This may mean doing system mapping
(drawing pictures of what things look like inside), and going to the cognitives (intellectuals) or controllers (head honchos inside) for
information. An internal helper, or recorder, may also be extremely
helpful in doing this.
Allow these parts to slowly acknowledge the agony that they
experienced during their deprivation: heat (being held over a fire,
or stove); cold (such as being placed in freezers, or ice, for
example), lack of food, etc. Encourage the sharing of the cognitive
portion of the memories first, while allowing amnesic alters to
grieve over "hearing about" these things. Allow them time to absorb
hearing about these traumas, as they occurred over several years
during early childhood, and will take time to assimilate. Healing
can't be rushed. Allow feeling alters later to step forward, and
share their feelings, while more cognitive or helper parts are
inside holding their hands, grounding them to the here and now
throughout the process of remembering Be prepared for floods of
emotion at times, as well as body memories, as the abuse is
recalled. A group of inside people can be designated as a "grounding
team" to help ground these parts as they step forward and share
their memories.
Remembering safely assumes that the person has a qualified
therapist, and also has laid the groundwork for good intrasystem
cooperation, as discussed above. Memory work should not be done
until there is good communication and cooperation inside, or the
person will be overwhelmed by the memories as they come out. They
will be flooded and re-traumatized instead of helped, and may
de-compensate. With good communication, memories can be brought out
a little at a time, in manageable pieces, while cognitive alters
continually help keep the survivor from going completely into the
memory, and they can also help ground the more wounded parts.
The cult will put people through certain types of programming in
order to achieve a specific goal: separating the intellect, or
cognition, form the feelings in a person. Cognitive alters in these
systems are always considered "higher" than the feeling alters;
cognitive alters are taught to "pass down" their feelings to the
"lower" feeling alters. While these labels are untrue, the cognitive
alters will fear feeling the intense, overwhelming emotions that
caused them to split further and further from the more limbic, or
feeling alters internally. This will drive continued system
divisiveness in the survivor. It is important that cognitive parts
realize that the feeling alters are part of them; that they can
practice sharing their feelings in SMALL steps without needing to be
flooded, or overwhelmed.
A reminder: EXTERNAL SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT TO UNDOING INSIDE
PROGRAMMING. You HAVE to be able to promise these parts external
safety, and deliver on this promise, or they will understandably
balk at working inside on undoing programming. Why should they try
and change, only to go back and be punished again? No system will
undo its own protective dissociation, if the abuse is ongoing, or it
will continue to destabilize and re-dissociate over and over. This
is because dismantling the dissociation would mean dismantling its
own survival and protection. Stopping contact with perpetrators and
having a safe therapist are the very first steps to take, before
attempting to undo internal programming. A system can still work on
stopping cult contact, and begin healing , while being accessed, but
it will slow therapy down tremendously as the internal energy will
be diverted to staying safe rather than undoing trauma. A person can
heal, and most survivors are still in cult contact when they enter
therapy.
BUT the progress will go much more quickly once cult
contact is broken. (see chapter on preventing accessing of the
survivor) .
