Set.

During the early 80s I attended a lecture on ancient Egyptian mythology.

There I met a girl who said to me: "I have been doing meditations on the Egyptian gods but Set keeps interrupting them."

Set is the ancient Egyptian devil.

Later I realized that this interference was coming from the rock music we were listening to.

The rock bands of the era made no secret of their admiration for Aleister Crowley.

Unknown to us was that Aleister Crowley was a black magician and Satanist.

And the rock stars who had sold their souls to the devil* practised all kinds of magic.

Egyptian symbols can be seen in many of their albums and videos.

And the center of Satanism in California is called the Temple of Set.

This is why the spiritual practices of the Hippies failed.

Their meditations were interrupted and diverted by Satanists in the rock music they constantly listened to.

We were stabbed in the back.

And our spiritual aspirations were sabotaged.

And this is still happening today.

So if you want to practise meditation I suggest that you throw away your CDs and videos and turn off the TV.

We have been betrayed.
