We cannot create from scratch, so when Epstein created his own doctrine for the rich and powerful, it could only resemble its creator. And when that mindset is already embedded in the foundation of society, people like Epstein are allowed to rise.
There was a time, not so long ago, when speaking about a coordinated network of powerful individuals engaging in exploitation, manipulation, abuse and debauchery - you would immediately be discredited. The disapproving language used was predictable: conspiracy theorist, paranoid, unstable.
Today those patterns are now publicly documented, with names, networks, court cases and financial ties. Not only is it mainstream knowledge, but the most unsettling part about all of it is that people don’t even care anymore. It no longer shocks anyone. We consume it, comment, scroll and move on.
So the question is no longer whether these systems exist. The question is how do they persist so openly? Why are they tolerated and where does the root of this power game come from?
The Disappearance of Initiation
To understand the present, you have to understand what was removed from the past.
Secrecy and initiation have always been a part of human culture. When you look across any indigenous civilization and culture that produces psychologically stable men you will find one defining structure: a formal initiation from boyhood to manhood. In traditional societies in Africa, historically, a formal initiation process starts for the male youth around 7 years old. The initiation includes, education, training, transformative rituals, tools, and rites of passage to become knowledgeable of self, and their place in nature and society.
These initiations exist to build stable members of society and allow the youth to know who they are, where they are coming from, and where they are going. From roughly ages 7 to 14 and beyond, this is not a single moment but a structured period of development, where the boy is gradually shaped, tested, and refined. By the time he reaches adulthood, he no longer needs to chase external validation, power, or materialism as the core driving force in his life, because his goals are aligned with ancestral values and the needs of his society.
Looking at Western Eurocentric cultures, those rituals have been erased, leaving a man in his thirties and forties immaturely searching for external validation through money, power, women and mind games, just with bigger resources and consequences. When power is given to those who have not been refined through initiation, it gives us the scenario of today's global leadership. We are being run by boys, not men.
From Knowledge Keepers to Power Networks
There has always been a “secret elite,” but historically, that phrase did not mean what it means today.
The original elite of Kemet (Pharoanic Egypt) were not financiers or political strategists. They were highly initiated individuals, keepers of knowledge, master priests, teachers, clairvoyants - all serving for the greater good of preservation, humanity in alignment with natural law. Their authority in governing bodies derived from mastery not materialism.
But the human being’s mind cannot create, it can only copy, and systems can be copied without being understood.
So the original blueprint in Pharaonic societies of the mystical, all-knowing, initiated class, when copied without the discipline, without the moral foundation, and without the spiritual principles guiding it, can become something evil and malevolent very quickly. That is exactly what we are seeing now.
