There’s an organization that you’ve probably never heard of that’s been operating in plain sight for over a century, with an office overlooking the United Nations, a seat at the table of international policy, and a ritual calendar that counts down to an event they have been preparing the world to receive since before your grandparents were born. They are not hiding. They published their schedule, recorded their meetings, and put their theology on their website in eight languages. They correctly calculated that none of it mattered, because nobody was paying attention, and they were right. Except, that is, for us.
Yesterday, I showed you that the men building artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley describe what they are doing in explicitly theological terms, and that the philosophy driving the AI boom has a very ancient, Babel-like feel. Today, I’m going to explain that key figures shaping both the technology industry and the current White House have been absorbing and transmitting a religious philosophy, known as Theosophy, for decades. We will follow that thread to the organization driving it, and tell you everything you need to know about the institution at the heart of Artificial Intelligence’s reshaping of our brave, new world.
On May 31st, people across more than a hundred countries will pause five times throughout the day - at sunrise, noon, 5 PM, sunset, and at the exact moment the moon becomes full, to recite the same prayer, called “The Great Invocation,” in unison. The organization coordinating this global, synchronized ritual, known as “World Invocation Day,” has held it annually since 1952. Its stated purpose, which I took directly from the organization’s own website, is to “prepare human consciousness for the reappearance” of their World Teacher, a figure their curriculum describes as someone Christians will recognize as Christ, Muslims will recognize as the Imam Mahdi, Jews will recognize as the Messiah, Buddhists will recognize as Maitreya, and Hindus will recognize as Kalki Avatar. The organization running this is called Lucis Trust. I first informed you of its existence in September of last year, in Theosophy: The Hidden Religion of the World’s Ruling Class.
Lucis Trust has an office overlooking the United Nations headquarters in New York City. They have held official “consultative status” recognized by the UN Economic and Social Council since 1989, meaning they have a voice in the shaping of international public policy. They were founded in 1922 under a different name, which was, I kid you not, the Lucifer Publishing Company. After public outrage, they renamed it to something less incendiary than the name of the devil incarnate.
THE THEOSOPHICAL ROOT
Most Christians have heard of Marxism, Darwinism, Freudianism, and, at least for the last few years, Critical Theory. Goodness knows, I spent the better part of a decade making sure that Christians have heard of the latter, but I think most evangelicals would find that it at least vaguely registers on their mental radar, even though it's unlikely most could fully explain what it is. It’s not uncommon for Pastors to preach against those isms, thank God. Conferences are held to rail against them. Books get written to refute them. These are all good things. But meanwhile, the occult philosophy that has done more to shape global governance than any of those isms combined sits undisturbed and unnamed, and largely unknown, because the average evangelical has never been handed the information to recognize it. That philosophy is Theosophy, and Lucis Trust is its most institutionally powerful offspring.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a Russian mystic with documented connections to the séance circuit of nineteenth-century Europe, founded Theosophy in the 1870s by claiming to receive transmissions from spiritual entities she called “ascended masters.” She published her claims in two enormous volumes, Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine, which were less books than grimoires dressed in borrowed vocabulary from Hinduism, Buddhism, Hermeticism, and ancient Egyptian religions. The core doctrine of Theosophy is straightforward. Mankind is evolving spiritually across successive ages, guided by hidden masters toward eventual godhood. There is no need for Christ or His cross in this religious system. There is no sin requiring atonement. There is only the long climb up the ladder of reincarnation toward the divine spark at the top.
Blavatsky was direct enough about the spiritual allegiances involved and hid little. She wrote that Satan is the god of this planet and the only god. Her successors sanitized the vocabulary, but changed none of the basic precepts. Alice Bailey picked up the tradition after Blavatsky’s death, claimed her own transmissions from a Tibetan master called Djwhal Khul, and spent thirty years dictating twenty-four volumes of esoteric doctrine and spreading her ideas around the world. In 1922, she and her husband founded the Lucifer Publishing Company, mentioned above, to distribute the material, before the eventual name change to Lucis Trust.
Bailey’s writings describe something she called the Externalization of the Hierarchy, a coming moment when the hidden spiritual masters who have been guiding humanity from behind the veil will step into public life and openly direct the affairs of the world.
RABBIT TRAIL: An interesting tidbit I’ll put here because I’m not sure where else to put it, but there are 9 spiritual masters named by the leading figures of Theosophy. There are 9 spiritual beings who self-identified as the ancient gods of Egypt, who were allegedly communicated with by the Puharich/CIA research I wrote about recently in UAP Disclosures: What the Government Knows About the Gods. The ancient Egyptians themselves believed in the Ennead, which was a council of nine gods. Norse cosmology has 9 worlds and 9 gods who rule them. The Mayans had nine lords of the underworld. The Greeks had nine Muses. I don’t know exactly what to make of it, but I just thought it was interesting and wanted to share. Take it for what you will.
Leading this emergence will be the World Teacher, a syncretic messianic figure she also called Maitreya and the Coming One. The United Nations, she predicted before it existed in its current form, would be the institutional vehicle through which this new world order would be established. She wrote that in the 1940s. Lucis Trust has had a seat inside the UN since 1989. The Meditation Room at UN headquarters in New York was designed under the influence of the Lucis Trust. The UN General Assembly passed a resolution in 2024 officially declaring December 21st, the winter solstice, as World Meditation Day, with over a million people participating in synchronized global meditation in December 2025. Lucis Trust’s own blog celebrated the resolution. If you’re not surprised that Satanists are at the tippy-top of global dominance, then you’re paying better attention than most.
WHAT LUCIS TRUST ACTUALLY DOES
The organization operates three primary arms. The Arcane School is a correspondence school that enrolls students worldwide and mails them curriculum materials teaching Bailey’s theology, meditation techniques, and how to interpret world events as expressions of what they call “the Plan.”
RABBIT TRAIL: Lucis Trust has used the phrase “the Plan” as their specific term for the Hierarchy’s agenda for humanity for over a hundred years. The Great Invocation itself reads, “let the Plan of Love and Light work out,” and throughout their published curriculum, they are told to “Trust the plan.” Q, as in Q-Anon, began using “Trust the Plan” in 2017 as its central organizing phrase, telling followers that events happening behind the scenes were working toward a destined outcome that ordinary people could not yet see but should trust was unfolding. The structural logic is identical: A hidden hierarchy is working a plan, and the visible chaos of current events is not disorder but the Plan operating. Whether Q’s operators consciously borrowed from Lucis Trust’s vocabulary, absorbed it secondhand through the broader occult current running through chan culture and accelerationist circles, or arrived at the same language independently is not documentable from public sources. But man, it’s a weird coincidence. If I’m right about Q and it was a government op run from the highest levels, it’s no coincidence.
A historian named Dr. Heather Lynn spent years as an enrolled student and kept every document that was sent to her. Her primary source archive shows the school trained students to read the Arab Spring, the Occupy movement, and extreme weather events as fulfillments of the Plan’s ritual calendar.
World Goodwill is the public-facing political arm, an accredited NGO at the United Nations that attends weekly sessions, publishes materials on global cooperation and sustainable development, and coordinates what it calls the Cycle of Conferences, a global meditation program designed to hold major world conferences in the light of what they describe as a higher Will and Purpose. Their 2026 newsletter is titled The Spiritual Dimension of the Nation. They are not hiding what they are.
The Triangles network is a global ritual program in which groups of three people perform daily visualizations, directing what they call “light and goodwill” toward world events and international institutions. Thousands of interconnected groups worldwide, perform these coordinated daily rituals to influence geopolitics. The scale is genuinely huge, and most people have no idea this exists. It amounts to a major world religion, right under our noses.
In June 2025, Lucis Trust held what they called their Centennial Conclave, a gathering they describe as occurring every hundred years when the hidden Spiritual Hierarchy convenes to advance the divine Plan. They published audio from inside the meeting, and the stated purpose of the conclave was to determine the timing for the first stage of the Externalization of the Hierarchy and establish the schedule for the reappearance of the World Teacher. The period we are currently living through has been designated by Lucis Trust as “the Stage of the Forerunner.” Their published schedule names 2029 to 2032 as the so-called “Impact phase.” That’s four years from now.
THE SILICON VALLEY CONNECTION
Yesterday’s I2I piece introduced you to the theological framework driving the AI industry. Today, I name the philosopher connecting that framework directly to Theosophy.
Nick Land is a British philosopher who co-founded the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit at Warwick University in the 1990s, where he synthesized continental philosophy, chaos magic, and Theosophical doctrine into a framework called accelerationism. The core argument is that technology and capital are not tools controlled by human beings but autonomous forces with their own trajectory, pulling the future toward a predetermined destination. You do not steer this process. You accelerate it. “Accelerationism” is a huge part of AI ideology, which you’ve probably heard of before. If so, this is where it’s from. Land identifies publicly as a Theosophist. Marc Andreessen, who sits on the board of Meta and serves as an official White House advisor, named Land “a patron saint of [his] thinking” in his widely circulated Techno-Optimist Manifesto. Employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Midjourney attended a Nick Land event in San Francisco in early 2026. My research found that Elon Musk had planned to attend but couldn’t make it.
Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir Technologies, whose surveillance and spying technology is embedded in the US military and intelligence apparatus, has spent the last year delivering closed-door lectures in San Francisco, Paris, and Rome on the biblical Antichrist, arguing that anyone who wants to slow or regulate artificial intelligence is functioning as an antichrist figure. The institutional influence chain connecting Land’s Theosophical accelerationism to the White House runs through Thiel’s orbit. Curtis Yarvin, who absorbed and transmitted Land’s framework into American political life, is documented as a direct influence on Vice President JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Michael Anton, Trump’s Director of Policy Planning. The philosophy that began in Blavatsky’s séance room, got assembled by a British philosopher at Warwick, and emerged in Silicon Valley as the theology of the men building artificial intelligence and advising the President.
FOUR NETWORKS, ONE DESTINATION
This next part is the entire reason I wrote this article. Everything that preceded it was necessary background information. I want to emphasize that what follows are not my claims. I’m not buying the bull-crap. However, knowing what your enemy believes, or what they allege to believe, provides you valuable insight into the battle set before us.
The first thing you have to keep in mind is that Lucis Trust is the most visible piece of a much larger religious architecture. Think of it like the Gospel Coalition being the most obvious, public face of a much broader coalition of Leftwing Evangelicals. It’s a face, not the body. The body is much bigger, broader, and further reaching.
According to Lucis Trust, four separate networks have been running structurally identical preparation programs for the revealing of this World Teacher they’re waiting on. Clearly, their “World Teacher” fits the biblical description for the anti-Christ. And according to Lucis Trust, these four organizations will help prepare global consciousness to receive him. Each of the four networks has a different vocabulary aimed at a different audience. None of these networks coordinates with the others, and they don’t need to. They are all drawing from overlapping source material, and each network is manufacturing population readiness in its own audience to prepare them for the World Teacher’s arrival. In other words, each of the four networks is conditioning their audience for the coming of who looks like, by their descriptions, the antichrist, or at least, a false Christ. They are being steered, whether they know it or not, by the 9 or so divine-like “ascended masters” who run this world. That’s the claim.
(1) Lucis Trust is the first such group, and they are cognizant of who they’re working for. They are working the universalist and globalist audience of the world’s richest one percent, as well as in Silicon Valley and the broader tech sector. Their preparation mechanism is the Great Invocation, the festival calendar, the Arcane School curriculum, and the Centennial Conclave timetable. Their audience is the progressive educated class, the NGO worker, the UN employee, the interfaith spiritual seeker, the Silicon Valley executive, the well-connected Beltway influencer, and the “global ruling class,” whom I wrote about in Theosophy: The Hidden Religion of the World’s Ruling Class.
NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION
(2) The New Apostolic Reformation works the charismatic and Zionist evangelical audience. This dominionist movement emerged from a 1987 meeting between Postmillennial Theonomists and Charismatics. Gary North and Joseph Moorecraft met with more than 100 charismatic leaders, including Bob Mumford and Earl Paulkin, in Dallas from October 14-17. Moorecraft wrote of it, “God is blending Presbyterian theology with charismatic zeal into a force that cannot be stopped." I have a personal affinity for Moorecraft, but history will prove that meeting was a profoundly bad idea. They tried to inject Christian Reconstruction into the charismatic movement, but ended up making a monster.
That ideology grew into the “Seven Mountain Mandate,” the belief that Christians must take dominion over seven spheres of culture before Christ returns, and that an apostolic Cyrus figure, a gentile king, will lead that consolidation.
ORIGIN STORY: In 1975, Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ and Loren Cunningham of Youth With a Mission sat down over dinner in a borrowed cabin in the Colorado Rockies, and compared lists of societal spheres they believed God wanted Christians to target. Their lists actually differed; Bright had “nine zones,” and Cunningham had “six classrooms,” and neither man published anything about the encounter for more than a decade. As the story got retold, the two lists merged to seven, and even Francis Schaeffer got put into that origin story.
The largely dormant idea was resurrected in 2000 when Cunningham met with Lance Wallnau and told him about the vision of twenty-five years earlier. Wallnau immediately saw the idea’s potential and began promoting seminars and training courses on the theory as a template for warfare for the new century. Its real surge in popularity began in 2013 when Wallnau co-authored the movement’s call to arms, Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate, with Pastor Bill Johnson. This book shifted the emphasis from evangelizing and bearing witness to taking over and dominating the seven spheres of influence. Militaristic metaphors abound.
In his book God's Chaos Candidate: Donald J. Trump and the American Unraveling, Lance Wallnau described Trump as a modern-day Cyrus. Cyrus was the Persian king who conquered Babylon and allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. He was written about in Isaiah 45, and Wallnau connected this to Trump becoming the 45th president.
The New Apostolic Reformation, which I was on the very ground floor of branding, defining, and describing (in the beginning, NAR leaders like Michael Brown denied it even existed, and once called me a “famous liar” for alleging it did) and used the Seven Mountain Mandate as its’ ideology, along with hyper-Continuationism, the belief that not only Apostolic Sign Gifts have survived to this day, but also that the office of Apostle still exists. Its chief progenitor was C. Peter Wagner, who was also the founder of the Church Growth Movement. The NAR is well organized - much more so than the typical Christian believes - dividing the world into geographic territories and naming different Apostles over those areas. Prominent NAR Apostles include Bill Johnson, Paula White, Dutch Sheets, Lou Engle, and Rick Joyner. You can find a lot of my articles on the NAR at Pulpit & Pen, like this one on the NAR “knighting” tradition.
The “Cyrus” imagery has grown increasingly common, and Lance Wallnau framed Donald Trump in exactly those terms. Paula White led the January 6th prayer rally on the Ellipse. Two senior NAR conveners published an essay in 2025 declaring that Charlie Kirk embodied what it means to be an apostolic leader. The NAR is preparing its audience, using Christian vocabulary and genuine Scripture, to receive a figure whose structural role in this framework is functionally identical to the role Lucis Trust’s Coming One is designed to play. The Christian who has been told to watch for an obviously satanic global dictator will walk straight past the deception because it will arrive through his own prayer network, wearing his own theological clothes.
