Testimonial of Maryjk_99, Cassiopaean Forum Member

I am actually a latecomer to the Cassiopaea group, having only joined about a year ago.  I was simply seeking answers, an understanding and  truth about why our world is in the state that it is in.  I was looking for the origin of evil, the roots from which it sprang.  Thinking that biblical references were somehow encoded in the text, I came across one of Laura’s articles referencing the Garden of Eden.  I saw how truths were interspersed with lies throughout these texts and I am very grateful for the critical and objective histories she has been able to uncover.

In this past year, I have learned about human history, nutrition and health, science, and have found an alternative news source (Sott.net) which have had a profound effect on my life.  I have learned and am still learning of authors such as Gurdjieff, Mouravieff, Velikovsky,  Casteneda, just to name a few.  I have become acquainted with The Law of One, have taken closer looks at the stories of the Holy Grail along with other mythologies which so affected our ancient ancestors.  In short, I have learned more in this past year than ever in my life.
I have also been exposed to and am still learning psychology from authors such as Martha Stout, Harvey Cleckey  and George K. Simon and have read numerous excerpts of  Lobaczewski’s  life’s work.  Learning from these sources has helped me recognize my own personality and also has helped my everyday life in recognizing and avoiding certain influences in my life.

It has been a fascinating journey, and I have but scratched the surface of all there is to uncover.  I appreciate the work of all the forum members and their willingness to share all that they have learned.  I have never thought the group as a negative entity;  but they are uncovering the negativity and helping all to learn that it does exist and how it affects the lives of each and every one of us.  In short, they give the lie exactly what it deserves, the truth.

Témoignage de Don Hunt, membre du forum Cassiopaea

Je m’appelle Don Hunt, et je fais partie du groupe de recherche de Laura Knight-Jadczyk depuis 8 ans. Difficile d’imaginer un groupe plus rationnel, stable et pondéré que celui-ci. J’ai rencontré et ai passé du temps avec Laura et sa famille, et je peux attester de leur humanité, intelligence, humilité et intégrité. Ce sont des gens formidables, tout simplement ! L’idéal illustré dans leur travail est celui de la vérité et du changement positif via l’utilisation de la méthode scientifique et de la recherche interdisciplinaire.

Ma participation au groupe m’a aidé à améliorer au mieux ma santé physique et psychologique. Ce qui m’a amené là en premier lieu, c’est la vision du monde développée par les Cassiopéens et publiée sur le site de Laura et Ark. J’étais en mode « chercheur » depuis le début des années 2000, écumant l’Internet à la recherche d’explications. Les résultats des recherches de toute une vie menées par Laura et Ark me paraissaient authentiques. Mais ce n’était que le début. Au cours des dix dernières années, ils ont développé quelque chose de bien plus important qu’une simple explication du monde et de son Histoire (même si c’est déjà suffisamment impressionnant comme cela !). Ce qui est né, c’est une méthode, influencée entre autres par les idées de la quatrième Voie de Gurdjieff, développée via les épreuves et les succès (et quelques erreurs) d’un réseau, et qui, si elle est suivie, donne la possibilité de développer une âme, ou de fusionner le centre magnétique – pour reprendre les termes de Gurdjieff –, permettant l’intégration des centres supérieurs.

Selon Gurdjieff, nous sommes des machines soumises aux impulsions de nombreux petits « moi », jusqu’à ce que nous ayons développé la capacité à véritablement AGIR, capacité acquise en fusionnant ces « moi » en une âme véritablement consciente qui puisse agir avec un certaine degré de conscience et de sens éthique. Or puisque l’être humain souffre d’une subjectivité extrême, cette capacité ne peut s’acquérir qu’au sein d’un réseau de gens sincères qui tentent eux aussi de se réveiller, et qui peuvent nous aider à nous voir nous-même objectivement. Les résultats de cette méthode, du travail au sein d’un tel réseau, sont stupéfiants, mais sont fondés sur un véritable travail, un dur labeur, sans raccourci ni tricherie. Travailler ainsi a mené à des changements positifs dans ma vie – des changements toujours en cours –, difficiles et toujours incomplets, mais qui offrent la promesse d’un réel développement.

Mais il y a plus que le seul travail sur soi. L’idéal, c’est agir au service des autres et de donner à ceux qui demandent. Ce qui a mené à diverses initiatives, telles que le site Signs of the Times, les techniques de respiration et de relaxation Eiriu Eolas, le Fellowship of the Cosmic Mind, et la maison d’édition Red Pill Press. La large dissémination du travail d’investigation concernant le rôle de la psychopathologie dns la société et l’Histoire – en particulier, la publication de Ponérologie Politique d’Andrew Lobaczewski – aura été un véritable cadeau offert au monde.

L’opportunité de travailler sur certains de ces projets au sein d’un réseau de personnes partageant les mêmes vues, issues de milieux différents et de talents différents, aura été une bénédiction que j’aurais été loin d’imaginer il y a quinze ans, avant de découvrir le travail de Laura.

Les accusations de « secte » ne pourraient être plus éloignées de la vérité. Il est facile d’entrer dans une secte et très difficile d’en sortir. Ce groupe est exactement l’inverse. Ceux qui décident de partir ne subissent aucune pression visant à les faire changer d’avis. Il n’y a également aucune pression pour faire des dons. En fait, il n’y a aucune « demande » d’aucune sorte. Le mode de vie de la famille Knight-Jadczyk et du noyau de chercheurs associés est modeste et frugal, et ils travaillent très dur, tout en sachant maintenir un équilibre.

Stellungnahme von Alexander Davidis, Filmregisseur, Drehbuchautor, Produzent

Vor sieben Jahren arbeitete ich an Nachforschungen zu einen Science-Fiction Film, an dem ich derzeit arbeitete. Für diese Nachforschungen lass ich einige Bücher über das UFO Phänomen. Was auch schon vielen Forschern vor mir so gegangen ist: Wie ich tiefer und tiefer bohrte wurden mein Fragen immer mehr und nicht weniger. Letztendlich führte mich die Suche zu „alternativen“ Geschichtsbüchern und Autoren.

Vor ungefähr sechs Jahren riet mir ein Freund, der meine Interessen teilte, das „The Cassiopaea Forum“ an zu sehnen, weil dort eine Reihe von sehr belesenen und informierten Leuten ähnliche Themen wie die, die ich untersuchte, diskutierten. Er deutete an, dass jene Leute zu ähnlichen Schlussfolgerungen gelangt waren, wie die, zu denen ich im Rahmen meiner Nachforschungen gelangte. Er legte mir nahe, dass mir ein Gedankenaustausch sicherlich gefalle würde.

Als ich dann die Beiträge auf dem Forum studierte fiel mir nicht nur auf wie höflich und respektvoll der Stiel der Diskussionen war (ungleich allem was ich bisher auf Online-Foren gesehen hatte) sondern auch, wie in der Tat unglaublich belesen, gut informiert aber zur gleichen Zeit unvoreingenommen und offen Alle waren.  Die Quellen die angegeben wurden waren im Algenmeinen sehr nützlich und weckten in der Tat noch mehr Interesse in mir. Die Themen die behandelt wurden gingen weit über die UFO-Forschung hinaus. Sie berührten nahezu alle mich mein ganzes Leben beschäftigenden Themen, wie Politik, Geschichte, Psychologie, Soziologie, Esoterik, Religion, Kunst, Philosophie, Astronomie und Physik um nur die Grossen zu nenne.

Nachdem ich das Forum ein paar Wochen gelesen hatte war mein grundsätzlicher Eindruck, dass dies so ziemlich die bestinformierten, intelligentesten und cleversten Leute im Netz waren.

Dies waren die Leute mit den ich reden wollte um die großen Lebensfragen beantwortet zu bekommen, die sich alle gewissenhaften Menschen stellen: Warum bin ich hier? Was ist der Sinn des Lebens und des Universums.

Ich dachte mir mit diesem interessanten Haufen Gedanken und Ideen auszutauschen wäre sicherlich der beste Weg um soviel wie möglich von der Wahrheit heraus zu finden, die unsere Realität ausmacht. Schluss folglich trat ich dann im Januar 2006 dem Forum bei und las viele Bücher die vorgeschlagen und auch teilweise von Mitgliedern verlegt wurden.

Obschon diese locker Gruppe von Gleichgesinnten als Kern Laura Knight-Jadczyk und ihren Ehemann Arkadiusz Jadczyk hat, ist es nichts anderes als böse gemeinte Verleumdung jene einen „Kult“ oder Laura Knight-Jadczyk gar einen „Guru“ zu schimpfen.  Üble Verleumdung von Gangstern die alles zu verlieren hätten wenn sie in einer wahrhaft freien Gesellschaft leben müssten, die wirklich offen, unvoreingenommen, antifaschistisch, antiautoritär, kriegsfeindlich und unhierarchisch aufgebaut wäre.

Die selben Leute, die diese Gruppe „Kult“ schimpfen, haben Angast davor, dass es in der Tat Menschen gibt die nach Prinzipien leben bei denen Menschlichkeit eben Mitgefühl und Verständnis bedeutet.  Menschen die das gegenseitig wohltätige Verlangen haben so viel Erkenntnis wie möglich über uns als Rasse, als Individuum und über das Universum als ganzes zu erlangen. Die Leute die dagegen sind, dass so ein Wissen in der Gesellschaft verbreitet wird, sind es meistens aus Gründen der psycho-pathologischen Gier nach Kontrolle und Macht. Natürlich schrecken sie davor zurück, dass sich Menschen einer Gesellschaft von derselben pathologischen Kontrolle und Manipulation zu befreien versuchen. Eine Kontrolle die nichts als Elend und Verzweifelung auf unserer Wellt schafft.

Was ich sowohl von der Gruppe als auch von Frau Knight-Jadczyk persönlich und durch ihre Bücher gelernt habe ist unermesslich. Ich habe viel über meine Beziehungen zu anderen und über mich selbst gelernt. Ich habe viel über Psycho-Pathologie gelernt. Ich habe gelernt wie man sich rücksichtsvoller und respektvoller anderen gegenüber verhält. Ich habe gelernt wesentlich differenzierter über alle Aspekt des Lebens nach zu denken. Und ich habe gelernt zu dem Gemeinwohl meiner Gesellschaft bei zu tragen.

Ich bin meinem guten Freund, der mich vor Jahren auf das Cassiopaea Forum aufmerksam gemacht hat, überaus dankbar. Durch das Wissen und die Erkenntnisse die ich durch diese Gruppe erlangt habe ist mein Leben reicher geworden und von mehr Sinn erfüllt. Ingesamt bin ich jetzt ein gesunderer Mensch auf allen Ebenen.

Unsere Wellt ist am Beginn einer großen Transformation. Man braucht bloß aus dem Fenster zu schauen um dies zu verstehen. Das Leben ist unglaublich komplex, genau wie die Mächte die es bestimmen – auf diesem kleinen Felsbrocken auf dem wir uns alle befinden.

In schwarz-weiß zu denken (wenn du nicht für mich bist, dann bist du gegen mich) und eine kleinkarierte Einstellung zu haben steht im Wege die objektive Wahrheit darüber zu erfahren, was uns Menschen zu Menschen macht und was der Sinn unseres Daseins im Universum ist. Dies erscheint mir als unglaublich ignorant und unproduktive um die großen Probleme unserer Menschheit zu lösen.

Testimonial of Laurel, Cassiopaean Forum Member

History is replete with instances where those seeking to uncover the truth have been maligned, persecuted, and repeatedly disavowed to maintain the status quo. Take Galileo for example. In his book, Starry Messengers, he set the Church and present day rulers on their ear, so to speak, as they responded fiercely and quickly to bury any information that contradicted the status quo. In a letter to Kepler of August 1610, Galileo complained with  rather well known sarcasm that some of the philosophers who opposed his discoveries had refused even to look through a telescope:

My dear Kepler, I wish that we might laugh at the remarkable stupidity of the common herd. What do you have to say about the principal philosophers of this academy who are filled with the stubbornness of an asp and do not want to look at either the planets, the moon or the telescope, even though I have freely and deliberately offered them the opportunity a thousand times? Truly, just as the asp stops its ears, so do these philosophers shut their eyes to the light of truth.”

So if we seek to be impeccable in our research, we should keep this history of persecution in mind if we too decide we want to try and unravel the tangled web of our own reality and uncover, as best we can, the truth of our existence. Knowing this, then it comes as no surprise that Laura Knight-Jadczyk and her husband Ark have also become ongoing targets of defamation, lies, and disinformation since they began to make their research findings public fifteen years or so ago. Just what is it that this husband and wife team, along with the many researchers associated with them, do that is so clearly a threat to those who are vested in the status quo? Are they a threat merely because they are so very clearly free and critical thinkers who have undertaken the task of searching out the truth of our reality and encourage others to do the same? Is it because they so rigorously apply the scientific method to all their research and even reality, allowing them to dispel countless myths, lies, and fabrications that have been endlessly perpetrated on humanity?

I had the pleasure of meeting Laura, Ark, and their family in person in November 2009. They very graciously hosted me in their home for a week of Eiriu Eolas training, a stress relief and rejuvenation program. During that time, they were tireless in their management of the myriad of projects they oversee, trying to bring truth and encouragement to others seeking to know and cope with the true nature of reality. And yet, with all they have going on, they still had time to welcome me into their home and family, give me the training I needed to teach Eiriu Eolas, and impart a sense of wonder and resilience when dealing with the complexities of living on this planet today.

I find the Eiriu-Eolas program to be the best system of relaxation and meditation that I have ever come across. As a hospital chaplain, I find its scientific foundation and spiritual expression create a harmonious and healing experience for those who practice it. I have taught this technique to prison inmates, homeless vets, those who are dying, those who are losing a loved one, and many people who are just looking for a way to reduce their stress and positively interact with the world around them. Without fail, it has benefited those who do it, in big ways and small.

I am very grateful to Laura, Ark, and their entire network, not only for creating the Eiriu Eolas program, but for going out there day after day, against the tide of those who wish to bury new information and ways of seeing, unable to ‘shut their eyes to the light of truth’ with the hope of making a real and positive difference in the world. They’ve certainly made one in mine.

Testimonial of Peam, Cassiopaean Forum Member

From a young age I was always drawn to reading about the nature of the universe and the strange and unexplained phenomena reported throughout history and especially the questions of “why are we here.” Mainstream religions didn’t seem to cut the mustard with me. Even as a young boy I could not believe that the God who was supposed to have created this vast universe with billions of galaxies each containing billions of stars and probably billions of planets would give a person ONE chance of life and if you didn’t believe in him he would have you banished to hell for eternity. Dunno about anyone else but that type of biassed choice has always been a bit of a turn off for me to be honest.

Another question for me was what was all these stories of UFO’s flying about and abductions by supposedly loving benevolent beings whilst sticking probes up goodness knows where, then making you forget.  Hmm, what happened to free will?

Anyway, I stumbled across a link to Laura’s experiment in superluminal communication and the Wave books, and a vast amount of other meticulously researched work spanning many subjects. But above all is how all this research and data and seemingly unconnected happenings throughout history forms connections to give a very different view from what we led to believe from school books etc.

As for the accusations of Laura and Ark and team of researchers and forum members being a cult, these accusations seem to have mostly come from a small handful of nutters who appear to have no other aim in life than to trawl the internet every day for any mention of Laura and Cassiopaea, then zoom in to spout their lies without any data to back them up.

If anyone is still in any doubt, try looking at the many stalking websites and see how many women are having their lives ruined and lies spread about them simply because they chose not to associate themselves any more with a person who turns out to be a conscienceless psychological deviant.

Then you can read all about why they do what they do for free. Where?…why, on the Cassiopaea websites of course.

Testimonial of Masamune, Cassiopaean Forum Member

I found the Cassiopaea website in 2002 while searching for answers to questions I had concerning the nature of reality.  I am very thankful that I found it when I did because it is really a jungle out there when it comes to websites dealing with this type of information – and I had been caught up in several before. Some had me blocking out reality with positive thinking from New Age sites or others had me riddled with paranoia from some crazy conspiracies.  The Cassiopaea site set me straight and taught me how to think for myself and to not be so easily tricked by any flashy website out there designed to lure gullible people in.

I have been actively participating in the forum since 2009.  I had never participated in any type of online forum or group before mainly because of the flaming and trolling that is so common on the internet these days.  I did not want to open myself up to those types of attacks and this had seriously limited the potential for me to find like-minded people on the internet from all over the world.  I had been lurking in the forum for a few years and learned what it was about and what I really liked was that the owners of the forum took the issue of creating a safe zone for its members very seriously. In this safe zone members would have the protection to speak about their most personal and sensitive issues in their lives.

It personally was such a relief to find so many people seeking the truth like me and be able to talk to them in a place where normal healthy human interactions were possible.  I was able to share intimate details about my personal and family life and get much needed feedback without any type of judgement or attacks for what I wrote.  The people there can be brutally honest though and don’t have much tolerance for games so it can be rough at the beginning if one is not used to hearing the truth about one’s self.  This type of feedback is crucially important for being able to learn the truth about yourself and to put you in a position to actually do something about your problems.

As for the accusations of being a cult, I think they are ridiculous.  I have searched for any types of behavior that would suggest this but I have not been able to find any.  What is encouraged there is the exact opposite of what a cult would encourage.  At the Cassiopaea forum I was taught how to think for myself and to not believe anyone.  I was taught to always do my own research and seek to know the truth.  If people are not doing this sufficiently the behavior will be pointed out to them and they will be told to think critically, do the research, provide evidence, etc.

If someone doesn’t agree with what is going on in the forum and no longer wants to participate, which often happens, there is absolutely no pressure to stay and no bad words are spoken because of their decision.  The person’s free will is always respected and anyone is always free to leave and never return at any time.  This sounds like the opposite of a cult to me.

Also all of the material is available for free.  One can get the full benefit of all the material, the same as any other member, without having paid a single penny to Laura or anyone else.  This operation is not about making a profit, it has a higher purpose.

I am so grateful to Laura, Ark and all of the members there who have shared all of their work with me over the years and who have provided me with help and support to become a better person.  Before finding the Cassiopaea website my life was not fulfilling to me and I felt that I really had nothing to live for.  I was narcissistic, self-destructive, and all of my relationships were in shambles.  I now feel like I am in a much greater position of stability and have found many of the answers to the questions I had growing up.  I have the opportunity in this group to help many more people than I would have been able to before and to share all of the amazing information I have found.  I feel like I have finally found the place where I belong and through this group have met hundreds of amazing people who have greatly enriched my lives with their knowledge and friendship.  I have also been going through serious health issues over the years and the health information on the forum and Sott.net has been invaluable in helping me to live a much healthier and fulfilling life.

I would suggest to everyone out there to not be fooled by a few pathological individuals who want to hurt Laura and her friends and family by spreading lies but to do your own research about her and her life work and to read the testimonials from those that actually know her or interact with her.  Learn the truth about what she is doing and trying to achieve in order to help humanity, and if you are sincerely seeking the truth, I think you will thankful you did.

Testimonial of Hoang Phung, PhD (Electrical Engineering)

My name is Phùng, Minh Hoàng. I found Laura’s work on the Cassiopaea website in 2005 while looking for information on peak-oil and Earth changes. Ironically, I did so by following a link on one of the numerous disinformation websites designed to trap those seeking outside the mainstream media. And I thank God for that day because it has changed my life profoundly for the better although I didn’t know it at the time.

I know that there are vicious and scandalous allegations against Laura and her group on the Internet. I have read a few of them and it was more than enough for me. Why? Because every single one of them was outrageously false. I reached that conclusion based not only on the abundant evidence that Laura has made available but also on what I have witnessed firsthand in the group throughout the years. What I saw was the furthest thing from a cult I had ever seen anywhere. So I’m not going to write any more about those lies in this statement. Instead, I’m going to write about is the tremendous benefits that I have got from Laura’s work.

The first thing I get from participating in Laura’s group is knowledge, and I mean true knowledge, not the kind of knowledge laden with disinformation you get from most books and contemporary “experts”. Since I was small, I have sensed that there must be something more to life than what I was seeing. And I have sought for it, in Buddhist meditation, in books and on the Internet. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent on the web reading and searching for … something. And then I found the Cassiopaea website. Someone wisely said that some people simply have a natural “taste” for things that are true. I have never looked back since then. What I found was explanations and perspectives that made more sense than anything I had known. More importantly, I found a community of people who were helping each other grow and who cared for each other at the soul level.

I also benefit from the health and nutrition research that Laura, Gaby and others in the group have conducted and made freely available. I always thought that I was basically a healthy person. Never mind the constant brain fog, or the sleepiness after each meal, or the struggle to get up in the morning, etc… After all, if you are in the same state all your life, and everyone around you is the same, then you would have to consider it normal. However, the health and nutrition measures that I implemented in the last year or so based on the research in the group have made a world of difference to my health and I can say that I have never felt healthier. My wife, who has suffered all her life from auto-immune conditions due to gluten and dairy, has also seen major improvements in her health.

The last and most important benefit I obtained is the Éiriú Eolas program. It is truly the most effective soul-healing program in the world, bar none. Although it is advertised mainly as a stress-control program, it goes much deeper than that. It heals the soul wounds that every normal people on Earth get just from living in this psychopath-controlled world. On a personal level, I can say without exaggeration that it saved my marriage by transforming me from the narcissist that I was.

The definition of a cult is “a group of followers of an unorthodox, extremist, or false religion or sect who often live outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader”. However, what I see in Laura’s group is a group that cares for and supports each and every member spiritually, physically and emotionally. If you call that a cult then I’m proud to be part of it. I will stand with Laura and her group and do everything I can to help. As the last words, I wish to say THANK YOU to her for everything she has done and is doing.

Testimonial of Mike L, Cassiopaea Forum Member

By mid-2004 I had spent the last year and a half jumping around the world wide web for the truth of many things.  I had lost faith in the religion I grew up with, Catholicism, and I had lost faith in the US government after having some time to research and see the lies in all areas that I explored and was serving as an officer in the military.  I had impacted others lives and I had been lied to to get me to do it.   I wanted to get to the bottom and find the truth of things.

First I found Rense.  Then a friend pushed me toward Alex Jones.  Neither was what I was looking for completely, although I checked them regularly.  Finally I discovered Laura’s and the others involved in the SOTT webpage work in the summer of 2004.  I loved the way the editors of the webpage commented on current articles and flashed back articles so that the reader could see the lies unfold.  The editors also wrote about the ‘Work’ and many aspects of Gurdjieff’s efforts to wake up humanity.  SOTT was collecting the best material, in my opinion giving the best commentary on the internet and giving some of the best advice you’ll hear if you are seeking after truth.  Research and dig for the true and don’t just believe what others have written.  In short I loved SOTT, but hated to see the world as it truly is.

Later I read the material on the Cassiopaean website to include large amounts of material on Vincent Bridges and Laura’s and those around her response and efforts to defend themselves from in my opinion some of the most vile and subjective writing I have ever read.  I’ve never seen a person, Laura, work so hard in my life and I’ve never heard of such defamation and efforts to tear down another person, such as what has been done to her.  She must be hitting a lot of nerves to get so much attention and if you read her books you’ll see why they want her to waste time defending herself.  I wish her and those associated with her work the best of futures.

Statement of Larry Bowers, Electrical Engineer turned Farmer

In the mid-1990’s I began  intense study (and practice) of the deepest aspects of many of the world’s esoteric traditions (including Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way Work).  I followed this up with deep research into the nature of this reality in an attempt to connect the dots into a worldview that reflected the truth of our collective situation on this planet.  Through these efforts I came to be committed to Truth both inward and outward in the external world.  In the mid-2000’s I came by Laura Knight-Jadczyk’s Wave series.  I was amazed to find how much of Laura’s research and conclusions had paralleled my own.  I had never run into this degree of co-linearity among the many authors/books I had read.  I proceeded to read all of her books and on-line material, and passed much of this on to others with similar interests.  In September 2007 I joined Laura’s Cassiopaea forum and have been active ever since.

In the Cassiopaea forum, Laura has created a medium for people to discuss/share/research our objective reality – like no other forum that I’m aware of.  Part of this uniqueness lies in the importance placed on networking as a tool for personal human development in which everyone can help anyone in the tradition of Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way group Work.  In my view, Laura has made the best possible example of herself in the many  posts she has made across the board – from new research results to helping many on an individual basis.  But probably her greatest achievement is demonstrating what can be accomplished in/by a networked group devoted to the Truth and helping others in nearly any capacity.  I invite the reader to judge for themselves by reading Laura’s books and/or visiting the forum.
