The Mysteries

Where each worldview places it
"A 6,000-year hidden religion", whose one real secret is mind-conditioning of initiates through fear, fasting, darkness, drumming and debilitation. It is "in complete control of all elements of our society, military, and government at this time"[1]. In an article Cooper reads on air, the guardians of ancient wisdom went underground under medieval persecution and "these societies became the Mysteries"[2].
