What is the Goal of the POD?

[Jonathan Barlow Gee]

 

What is the Goal of the POD? What is our Mission Statement? What is the meaning of our esoteric Manifesto? These are questions I am often asked. So I will set the answers down in this document for easy future reference.

 

The Goal of the POD.

 

the Goal of the POD is the restoration of "Atlantean Democracy." What does the "restoration" mean? It means studying, sharing and discussing all the documents of the POD freely. What is "Atlantean Democracy"? That is best answered by the POD's documents themselves.

 

The Mission Statement of the POD.

 

The mission statement of the POD is simple: we wish to restore Atlantean Democracy by freely spreading the ideas outlined in these documents.

 

Nothing about the POD is meant to be malevolent. There are tragedies described in the histories, and necromancy in the rituals. There are no doubt dark sides to the POD's material. I was once mis-quoted by none other than myself on the ATS.forums forgetting I ever quoted Crowley in the POD. I do once.

 

My personal stake in the POD is nothing. I see it as a nicely pre-packaged RPG type scheme. It has some minor potential as a charming little model of a utopia. In the long version it also allows itself to offer a sturdy degree system for teaching some recommended reading from my other books. This other information is almost ubiquitously more important than the accompanying POD material. However, some people will not accept the one without the other. Hence their combination here.

 

Then again, even now there are people who see this, such as some ATS posters, who see the POD as a "conspiracy terrorist" cult. I'm personally flattered, but not interested. I don't answer to spooks.

 

The goal and mission of the POD being so simple, they deserve some repitition and expansion upon. I will restate them simply: The Goal of the POD is To Restore Atlantean Democracy, which means to spread the doctrines described in the POD's documents. It is for research purposes only. It is not meant to be an end-all be-all anything. It offers a "bund" system of 5 archons per aeon. This is an arbitrary number, yielding archons of 400 years each. It can as easily be 4 or 6 or any other sum. To change up the #-sum the system is based on alters the entire structure like a kaleidoscope. If you operate on a base-7 system, you use the heptagram, etc. Here I have based the system on the 5 "Platonic" solids.

 

The POD material, including anything catalogued on this site by me personally, as of March 1 2011, is comprised of the POD long version also called the POD11.pdf. This replaces the earlier POD short version, or the POD10.pdf. This includes all the relevant POD literature. There are also a series of videos on youtube called "the Atlantean Senate" that are part of the POD material; they are the pictures narrated by brief descriptions of the written content relevant to each. This is all the POD material. Other videos linked to from this site, additional documents by me or others linked to from this site, etc. are considered only PERIPHARY, as opposed to the POD11 and POD vids by me.

 

All this describes the entirety as of this date of the true and authentic POD materials. Once again, the mission and goal of the POD is simply to disperse and discuss these documents. This is considered by us to accomplish the "Restoration of Atlantean Democracy." There is nothing dangerous or malevolent intended by the POD material's documents or videos. It is meant to be a positive contribution to a continuing tradition among esoteric schools. It is open-source because I am not bound to any oaths to conceal any of its contents, that are entirely in my case self-taught. Again, these are not meant as threatening papers or anything more than boring videos. They are my original ideas based on what I have learned from researching many esoteric topics.

 

Again, the goal of the POD is to distribute and discuss these documents. If you are doing this, or have at least looked over the POD10 (short version) .pdf then you are accomplishing the "eosteric" goals set forth in the POD Manifesto, which advocates doing whatever you do with a higher state of focus and concentration on what you are thinking while you do it. We in the POD, and there are more than only me, call this "ESP."

 

There are obviously rules of "psychic society," assuming such a thing ever has or even can exist, and the POD offers to set them forth concisely. Insofar as such a society is patently imaginary, so are all these rules we use in the POD. These rules do not set us apart or above any "non-psychic" in the "cult of sleep." We are ALL brothers. We are ALL equally infinite in potential. Each life is a miracle to someone more than only that person.

 

As such, the POD does not per se accept nor reject anyone else's previous material or research. We believe in the existence of the "neo-sethian" shape-shifting reptilian species. Some of us even believe in the Tarantaloids who shape-shift insectoid. These beliefs are bypdroducts of existence in this day and age (between the 2000 Apocalypse and the 2012 Apocalypse). But honestly this means little or nothing to any of the individual members of the POD. It is simply a belief we all share. It is a relatively common belief these days.

 

We are not based entirely on the works of John Dee nor Alesiter Crowley. We do not discriminate against anyone's membership, insofar as that means the reading and sharing of the POD documents. Despite the absurdity of some of these words to history, these are honest accusations I've had put to me on ATS.forums by flaming trolls. LOL! They may not seem to, but boredom demands I reply now.

 

People are paranoid nowadays. It is symptomatic of the calendrical times. However I speak for myself in that estimation, and not on behalf of any other members of the POD. We all see the world differently for a reason. What that reason is for us is why we see the world uniquely.

 

Still, there have been accusations raised against me which could tarnish my career, personally, and though I do not care about it, I think it deserves a brief reply to in the POD's official documents here.

 

The goal of the POD is to distribute the POD documents to people who might not have heard about it otherwise. It is the mission statement of the POD that people should discuss the ideas expressed in these documents and videos. Beyond this, frankly, I do not personally care what people (POD members or not!) do in their free time. If people want to practise Necromancy, and claim the POD inspired them to do it, they should be asked "how" and etc. until they finally provide some logical solution to such an outcome, since I cannot think of one now. In point of fact, in the iib° ritual the act is renounced by the voice of God. But alas, people may do as they will, and blame who they wish.

 

The goal of the POD is NOT evangelical, and we do NOT endorse violence in any form being carried out in the name of the POD or our agenda (advocating the Restoration of Atlantean Democracy). We are not "evangelical" because we are not a religion. If we say, "but the Church-Bank is quasi-religious," this may indeed be true, yet means nothing in terms of tax exemption. We in the POD do not worship money, but we do believe those in the cult of sleep at this time in history do. This can, of course, change at any time. We also endorse no form of violence being acted out as a result of studying the POD materials. If you do this, you must be more nutz than me, and I'm bat-shit crazy.

 

There is one book for sale in the POD folder: the biography of Pythagoras. This is because I wrote it as a personal project for the POD. The POD itself is entirely free, including the material excerpted in the long version from my other, older books. But the biography of Pythagoras was my own project, and thus I am entitled to sell it. I would not feel right not giving away what is purely meant as "teaching material," and likewise I would not feel right giving away what I consider just fluff filler.

 

There is no pre-requisite or post-initiatory adopted form of idealogy or beliefs. You can read the POD material, and watch the videos, and decide for yourself what you think. That much is required for POD membership, should one so choose to want such, and nothing more. Applying for membership on this site does not make you any more or less an active member than anyone else who is distributing the POD documents.

 

In summation, the Goal and Mission of the POD is simply to distribute and discuss the POD documents. These documents describe "Atlantean Democracy" among various other topics. "Atlantean Democracy" as described in these documents is not a "terrorist plot" nor at all interested in "advocating or initiating any action, violent or not, that would seek to threaten or harm the USA government or any other existing state or nation's government." We do not advocate any form of violent activity. We do not wish to overthrow anyone. We are not defined as "Illuminati" or "NWO" nor as "Al Quedia" or "Taliban." Those who seek to define those of us who discuss these documents as such are wrong to do so. They should be ignored or punished properly.

 

I do not personally cotton to being called a "conspiracy terrorist," but that is really my own separate issue at this time, apart from the POD, because no action against the POD, nor against me in any form but my screen-name, has been taken. It is simply someone else's personal opinion. I may resent it, but it is not yet, nor hopefully will it ever be, official POD business.

 

So, in conclusion, the POD's single Goal and Mission is to read and learn from the POD documents. We pray for peace to all who wish us harm. PEACE!
