we called them gods, and they sacrificed our young on alters
we called them kings and queens, they sent us to be slaughtered on battle fields against our own brothers
we called them priests, bishops and popes, they used us as tools to wage their bloody holy wars
we now call them politicians, scientist and heads of state, and they poison and butcher us with pharmakia
they kill us because they fear us. never forget.
These wizards/witches of secret societies are more afraid of their own cause of the concentration and mental powers they develop over time. They have no 8-5 job they just practice intent and concentration exercises like some monk in the mountains. They would be afraid however if the billions of people with a single intent were to ever come together. They wouldnt be able to stop that amount of intent concentration energy.
