THEOCRATIC BANDS. War in Heaven...

"A. Well, many of the occultists had some conscious knowledge of what we were doing, and were actively co-operating.

Unfortunately, some of them actively opposed us by trying to turn their lodge into a Theocratic Cult. Possessing advanced occult knowledge doesn't automatically make a person morally virtuous. Even today, some of the advanced occult lodges derived from the Masonic-Rosicrucian tradition are "Black Lodges" (lodges under the control of the Theocrats).

One of the worst things about this movement is that some of these people have made the breakthrough. They know what they are doing, and they still do it."
