            certain stages in the development of human his-tory, religion plays a pivotal role in
            every  nation  —  giving  them  the  wherewithal  and  opportunity  to  survive  in  their

              struggle for a place in the sun.
                  How did religion fulfill  this role for  a particular tribe  or nation?  In  the  older
            approach — the tantric pyramid — coding during sexual contact enabled the leader to
            accumulate the necessary potential for control of his tribe. In this context, it should be
            noted that the population count of every single tribe never exceeded a large number.
            This allowed the leader to impose a certain level of ruthlessness and aggression in
            order to create the necessary pyramid.

                  As  civilization  advanced,  consanguineous  tribes  united  into  nations.  As  the
            quantity  of  such  nations  grew  more  and  more  rapidly,  the  tantric  method  of  psi-

            control  became  inefficient.  The  leader  was  then  able  to  impose  it  only  upon  his
            immediate following and  control  only his closest affiliates. Controlling the masses
            was impossible without the help of the vassals, and they were ready to supplant the
            leader at any time.

                  Thus creation  of a new method  of psi-control became mandatory and crucial.
            Tribes unable to do so were completely annihilated or assimilated into other tribes. So
            while  psi-control  is  basically  a  negative  phenomenon  under  normal  human
            conditions, it became inevitable as the only way to pre-serve a large majority of the
            population.

                  A phenomenon that can be so positive in a crisis situation — and yet so negative
            because it is a manipulation of consciousness — only appears at the initial stages of

            a civilization's development. There is a very simple explanation for this paradox.
            The  low  level  of  an  individual's  consciousness  does  not  allow  him  to  see  what  is
            necessary for the group as a whole. The basic instinct of self-preservation wins out
            over  the  weak  voice  of  reason.  Consequently,  the  individual  concerned  only  with
            saving  his  own  neck  makes  his  own  demise  and  that  of  his  fellow  tribesmen
            inevitable.

                  An individual at a low level of spiritual development cannot fathom why he, of
            all people and no one else, must sacrifice his life to save others. This leads to only
            one outcome — that everyone dies. And even if he survives a particular crisis, he still
            perishes  when  he  struggles  to  survive  alone  in  the  wilderness.  Man  is  a  social
            creature, which means that the only way for him to survive is to collectively combat

            nature in the wild.

                  That is why the negative phenomenon of psi -control became an inevitable evil,
            as the only way for a human to survive in his struggle against the elements and the
            ruthlessness of his own species. Use of psi-weapons enabled the leaders to turn a
            whole  population  into  a  superorganism.  This  partly  or  completely  suppressed  the
            instinct of self-preservation, making it possible to save a whole tribe at the expense of
            several members' lives.

                  But when the same leaders started using psi-weapons for their own nefarious
            purposes — to amass power and wealth — this became problematic because it was

            a violation of natural law...
