With so much diversity and so many different worldviews within the United States, it is no wonder why the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex, or the wealthiest one percent, can easily manipulate and maintain control of the disparate masses. Based on current trends, some would argue that the world is becoming a prison for the 99 percent. They point to the passage of laws that increasingly restrict our free speech, and to the increase in surveillance and Homeland "security." Meanwhile, third-world nations are being plundered and exploited, and corporate capitalism is destroying the planet's environment.
The seventh group is what I would call the scientific materialists or naturalists who believe there is nothing supernatural in the universe. However, others would argue to the contrary that if one accepts the Big Bang cosmology, then whatever caused the big bang was a supernatural event.
When some New Agers talk about the channeling of spirit guides or of alien abductions, conservative Christians argue that this is all satanic. Conservative Christians do not believe that the so-called alien abductions are by beings from other planets. Instead, they believe the beings are actually demonic spirits experienced in an extra-dimensional spiritual realm.
Moreover, when individuals have an experience of unconditional love, joy, and rapture through the drug-induced, spirit of ayahuasca, conservative Christians would again say this is all part of a satanic deception because Satan or Lucifer is a fallen angel who masquerades as an angel of light; he can create a convincing counterfeit of everything that is of God.

Reductive or scientific materialists, however, would say that both groups are deluded, even crazy--both the New Age pantheists or monists and the Christian theists. The website www.rationalwiki.org is an expression of the reductive materialist worldview. Reductive or scientific materialists have differing political beliefs that span the political spectrum, from libertarians on the right to socialists on the left.

According to the website www.FaceLikeTheSun.com, the film, which was produced in 2011, has gotten over 3 million views. This film by Gonzo Shimura attempts to tackle the topic of ancient alchemy and how its philosophical principles tie into current trends of science, technology, and future events described in the book of Revelation.

The second film was made in April 2014. This 180-minute film by Gonzo Shimura begins with a warning to modern Christians that they will be increasingly persecuted and marginalized by our society that is being increasingly influenced by the New Age movement in these Last Days. Thus, Christians are considered as narrow-minded bigots who preach a doctrine of hate and intolerance for other religions. Modern alchemists may attempt to achieve immortality through science and technology, but filmmaker Gonzo Shimura argues that the true hope for immortality can be found in Jesus Christ.
Futurist developments involving genetics, robotics, information technology, and nanotechnology are also examined in the film. Since large numbers of Christians would agree with this filmmaker's eschatology, these beliefs should be investigated and understood.
Toward the very end of the second film, Shimura shows portions of the above-mentioned youtube video made by Taylor Marie called "Ayahuasca: 1st Life Changing Experience Explained." Here is the link once again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxdm4WBAgg4. I will transcribe some of Taylor Marie's statements, and then afterwards I will provide Gonzo Shimura's explanation of Taylor Marie's hallucinogenic experience while in the Amazon forest. Readers are encouraged to watch both video clips to get the unabridged versions.
"I felt my body being taken over by the spirit of Ayahuasca. It told me to stand up and walk outside. I felt a wave of love when I touched the tree. It just washed over me and through me. I started bawling my eyes out--it was so amazing and beautiful. I felt love for the tree and the whole universe--love for everything, everyone, and myself too. I was taken over to this clearing in the yard and became amazed at the stars! I stood there in awe. I was slowly brought down to my knees: I wasn't doing this. This was my body being taken over! I was brought down to my knees and my hands slowly came together like in a prayer position, and I started to pray. I am not one to pray. I have never prayed before.
"The fact that this was happening was very interesting. And I was praying to the Universe, and I was thanking it, and I was thanking Mother Nature and thanking Ayahuasca. I was just being grateful for everything. And I started to cry at the beauty of everything! It was one of the most amazing things of my life. I would see random things like I saw a bunch of eyes--lots of eyes, blankets of eyes with my [own] eyes open and closed. That whole experience, especially with the tree, connected me with nature and myself. The whole thing changed my life. I am so grateful that I went and did that." [End of Taylor Marie's description of her ayahuasca experience.]
Filmmaker Gonzo Shimura provides his interpretation of Taylor Marie's ayahuasca experience in the Amazon forest:
"Here are my thoughts on Taylor Marie's experience. The love she experienced is genuine love that emanates from God, and while this might startle some, let me explain what I think is going on: Because Satan and his fallen ones do not have any truth in them, they must use truth as a means to deceive.
"Thus, it is my opinion that Taylor was first possessed and led by what she called the spirit of ayahuasca to come to the tree and experience this connection and love that does truly reside in the fabric of creation. But notice that through this experience, she was led to a position of prayer and [was] thanking the Universe! Herein, lies the subtle deception: Instead of pointing to God, I believe Satan and his fallen ones used this experience as a means to divert the subject's worship to anything other than to God--or to redefine God in a pantheistic or monistic sense.
