The Aetherius Society is a mystical cult and latterly a religious group founded in the 1950's by George King in London. It then moved with him to a new base domiciled in Los Angeles around 1960 and a church was eventually established.....
I was doing time
In the universal mind,
I was feeling fine.
I was turning keys,
I was setting people free,
I was doing alright.....
Then you came along,
With a suitcase and a song,
Turned my head around.
Now I'm so alone,
Just looking for a home
In every face I see.
I'm the freedom man...
That's how lucky I am.
(Jim Morrison - The Doors)
After his death in 1997, and most probably even before, the effective leadership was controlled by various Directors of the Society who chose to run things to suit themselves. A "gang of four" was headed by the founder's wife in California who vied for control with the London clique.
The original concepts of TRUTH and SERVICE were usurped to support their own power base through domination and control and the Society's Directors both in London and in Los Angeles have subsequently pretended to have some of the powers of the Master.
This is a blog for those who have left the Aetherius Society through dissatisfaction or disappointment - or have been asked to leave through no fault of their own! Some of the faithful have even been marginalized to mere "friends" of the Society after years of unselfish service.Feel free to add your own comments.......
