Research can take you in interesting directions. Such was the case during my research into the Georgia Guidestones. What started out as a matter of curiosity, soon turned into something more interesting. I had heard of the Guidestones, and had even done a little research on them, in the past. I decided, however to do more research on them and found some interesting trails to follow. Let me take you on a little trip, if I may, from a little hilltop in a remote area of Georgia, through some important, though little discussed, history of our American past, as well as some history of the world. It gets curiouser and curiouser, the more curtains are pulled back. Let me begin with a little history of the Guidestones themselves.
“On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a huge granite monument. Engraved in eight different languages on the four giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides, or commandments. That monument is alternately referred to as The Georgia Guidestones, or the American Stonehenge. Though relatively unknown to most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that dominates the world in which we live.
“The origin of that strange monument is shrouded in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who commissioned its construction. All that is known for certain is that in June 1979, a well-dressed, articulate stranger visited the office of the Elberton Granite Finishing Company and announced that he wanted to build an edifice to transmit a message to mankind. He identified himself as R. C. Christian, but it soon became apparent that was not his real name. He said that he represented a group of men who wanted to offer direction to humanity, but to date, almost two decades later, no one knows who R. C. Christian really was, or the names of those he represented. Several things are apparent. The messages engraved on the Georgia Guidestones deal with four major fields: (1) Governance and the establishment of a world government, (2) Population and reproduction control, (3) The environment and man's relationship to nature, and (4) Spirituality.”
Quoted from a website http://www.radioliberty.com/stones.htm
“In the public library in Elberton, I found a book written by the man who called himself R.C. Christian. I discovered that the monument he commissioned had been erected in recognition of Thomas Paine and the occult philosophy he espoused. Indeed, the Georgia Guidestones are used for occult ceremonies and mystic celebrations to this very day.” Quote from Radio Liberty, from website above.
I was able to locate a PDF file, produced by the Elberton Granite Finishing Company, in Elberton, GA, the company that built the monument. The PDF file has many pictures of the “monument” and the history of its making, along with information regarding the “purpose” of its being. The link to finding it is here:

I will get back to the “Purpose” in due time. First some other information.
Things were definitely getting interesting. A mysterious stranger wanting to build a monument “to offer direction to humanity”, which, in his own words, apparently, was to be erected in recognition of Thomas Paine, who you might remember was the author of “Common Sense” a widely distributed, and read, pamphlet written during the year 1776. A copy of the pamphlet is available at:
http://www.ushistory.org/paine/commonsense/singlehtml.htm
A short blurb on the site says the following: “Published in 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The plain language that Paine used spoke to the common people of America and was the first work to openly ask for independence from Great Britain.”
Wikipedia has a long biography of him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine
Thomas Paine wrote a two part essay, called the “Age of Reason”. A plaque on the Guidestones says, LET THESE BE GUIDESTONES TO AN AGE OF REASON and Mr. R.C. Christian indicated in his book “the monument he commissioned had been erected in recognition of Thomas Paine and the occult philosophy he espoused”.
Thomas Paine considered himself a Deist. Consulting Wikipedia, again, we find the following: “Deism: in the philosophy of religion is the standpoint that reason and observation of the natural world, without the need for organized religion, can determine that a supreme being created the universe. Further the term often implies that this supreme being does not intervene in human affairs or suspend the natural laws of the universe. Deists typically reject supernatural events such as prophecy and miracles, tending to assert that God (or "The Supreme Architect") has a plan for the universe that is not to be altered by intervention in the affairs of human life. Deists believe in the existence of God without any reliance on revealed religion, religious authority or holy books. This idea is also known as the Clockwork universe theory, in which God designs and builds the universe, but steps aside to let it run on its own. Two main forms of deism currently exist: classical deism and modern deism.”
As it turns out, Thomas Paine was also a Rosicrucian In fact he was a member of the Council of Three, (the Fraternity's ultimate governing body), along with George Clymer and Benjamin Franklin, or so states the Fraternitas Rosæ Crucis: the Authentic Rosicrucian Fraternity in the Americas and the Isles of the Sea, on its website at soul.org
Manly P. Hall, the famous Rosicrucian and Masonic writer, considered by many to be the greatest 20th Century writer of those organizations, writes, in his book, “The Secret Destiny of America”, a Chapter about Thomas Paine. He praises him as a great visionary who was ahead of his time. The book may be found online at: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/secret_destinyamerica/secret_destinyamerica.htm
Now for a little information on the mysterious man, Robert C. Christian, or R.C. Christian, who commissioned the monument to be built. He admitted the name was an alias, and insisted his real identity be kept secret. Why did he choose that particular name as an Alias? Could it be the pseudonym R.C. Christian was chosen as a variation on Christian Rosenkreuz, the mythical founder of the Rosicrucian Order? Rosenkreuz means Rose Cross. Christian Rose Cross, becomes R.C. Christian, quite easily. Paine was a Rosicrucian. “LET THESE BE GUIDESTONES TO AN AGE OF REASON” is the inscription on the Guidestones. It certainly looks to me that those who sponsored the construction of the Guidestones, must, at the very least, have been sympathetic to the Order of the Rose Cross.
Given that the men who commissioned the Guidestones, (as secret as they are), had a purpose behind having it built. Here is a portion of their reasoning:
“It is very probable that humanity now possesses the knowledge needed to establish an effective world government. In some way that knowledge must he widely seeded in the consciousness of all mankind. Very soon the hearts of our human family must be touched and warmed so we will welcome a global rule of reason.
‘The group consciousness of our race is blind, perverse, and easily distracted by trivia when it should be focused on fundamentals. We are entering a critical era. Population pressures will soon create political and economic crisis throughout the world. These will make more difficult and at the same time more needed the building of a rational world society.”
“A first step will be to convince a doubting world that such a society is now possible. Let us keep in view enduring appeals to the collective reason of humanity. Let us draw attention to the basic problems. Let us establish proper priorities. We must order our home here on earth before we reach for the stars.
“Human reason is now awakening to its strength. It is the most powerful agency yet released in the unfolding of life on our planet. We must make humanity aware that acceptance of compassionate, enlightened reason will let us control our destiny within the limits inherent in our nature.
“It is difficult to seed wisdom in closed human minds. Cultural inertias are not easily overcome. Unfolding world events and the sad record of our race dramatize the shortcomings of traditional agencies in governing human affairs. The approaching crisis may make mankind willing to accept a system of world law which will stress the responsibility of individual nations in regulating internal affairs, and which will assist them in the peaceful management of international frictions.”
(The full Purpose may be viewed in the PDF file mentioned above.)
This is an obvious call for One-World Government. Further reading of the “Purpose” statement will leave no doubt in anyone’s mind. What might such One-World Government look like as envisioned by the Rosicrucian and Masonic thinkers? The two societies are almost identical in their outward beliefs, as espoused by their great spokesmen, who have included Sir Francis Bacon, Manly P. Hall, Thomas Paine, and others. They also take as their inspiration such philosophers as Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, and many more ancient philosophers and thinkers of lesser-known stature. In his book, “The Secret Destiny of America”, available at:
http://knowledgefiles.com/categories/freemasonry/the-secret-destiny-of-america/
Manly P. Hall goes to great length to describe the vision of the Rosicrucian “Utopia”. Please take the time to read it. Hall’s Utopia is the “New Atlantis” of Sir Francis Bacon. It is the “Atlantis” of Plato. It is the “Utopia” of Sir Thomas More. It is a world governed by a benevolent Elite of the Illumined Ones, the philosophers, or the educated, who have chosen the path of Illumination. The mass of men must be led, in their view, by a wise and benevolent Elite. Of course this begs the question of who shall determine who is wise and who is benevolent.
Hall includes a discussion of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhnaton in his work, the Secret Destiny of America. In it he has a quote from Charles Potter who describes Akhnaton as the first humanitarian, the first democrat, the first internationalist. Here is a quote from Hall about Akhnaton: "This was a Pharaoh who traveled alone through the countryside, meeting the peasants, conversing with slaves, and sharing the simple food of the poor." Notice that Akhnaton conversed with slaves. If he was such a great humanitarian and democrat, ask yourself why there were slaves in his Kingdom. Not a word of this is in Hall’s book.
Secret Societies, as Hall points out in his book, have been around for centuries. He belonged to two of the most powerful and long lasting Secret Societies. He makes reference to the Rosicrucians and Masons as being the Illuminati. He speaks of how the Illumined Ones have guided mankind throughout the centuries. Why are we in such great difficulties today, if the Illuminati are our guides? They are self-proclaimed wise men. Or is it they are merely arrogant believers in their own self-professed goodness? Why all the Secrecy? If they have true wisdom, why not share it openly. Why not bring their wisdom out into the light of day, to be examined?
The Guidestones, themselves, state in their Guides: “Avoid petty laws and useless officials.” Is this why we have hundreds of thousands of Laws and Regulations with hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats to administer them? The deeds don’t match the words, as I see it. “Protect people with fair Laws and just Courts” the Guides admonish. Excuse me? Does anyone believe the average man, the one who cannot afford high priced attorneys gets justice in the Courts? These Illuminated Ones have guided us for many centuries, they claim, and their Guidestones say some, (just some), fine words, yet their words are not put into deeds. What is it they are hiding? Their Utopian visions may be a Utopia for some, but what of those who choose another path. Are they to be eliminated? Is there room for divergent paths? How will their goal of only five hundred million people on Earth be accomplished? Will those who choose a different path than their own be eliminated? And what of those who choose not to accept their new religion?
Pay close attention to the words of the so-called great philosophers, great politicians and great economic leaders. Why do men who profess to have the wisdom of all ages meet in secret and keep the wisdom to themselves? Ask yourself if their words match their deeds. Do they speak of helping the people, yet consider only their associates in their actions? (Think bank bailouts.) Do they speak of the rights of men, then quietly deprive them of their rights? (Think Patriot Act and secret renditions.) Do men seek power for its own sake? Or do they seek the power to retain the natural rights of men? Read carefully the words inscribed on the Georgia Guidestones. Do the words match the actions of those who profess them? Seek truth, my friends, for the truth shall set you free. Truth is not merely fine words. Truth is words and deeds, together.
