Considering the "reigns of power" and the ladder towards the "shot callers" leads me to the idea that no matter who or what is in "control" there will always be a higher "shot caller" until there is a singular, ultimate playmaster.
There is an interesting argument in the ancient, Christian religions that proposes there CAN be a single Godhead and a hierarchy of angels, because that aspect represents
perfect order. The demonic realm, however, is based in
chaos and as such, CANNOT have a single leader because that would represent an ordered system, which turns demons into angels.
This throws an interesting
monkey wrench in the works because, given the highly ordered structure of the New World ORDER, it would indicate that all the bad stuff they are doing to the people of this world are done under the dictates of God and his dominion--not demonic "bad guys."
Sumerian records indicate that Jehovah is ENLIL--the military general of the ANNUNA that overthrew the other "gods" to take control for himself as the "one, true God." ENKI accused his brother ENLIL of that before AN (their father) and became known as the
Satan... the accuser. Of course, ENKI wasn't the one to start a military coup--the Hebrew's god did that.
It is just like the confusion over Noah and the Ark... modern religious texts say that God told Noah to build the Ark, but in all the older Apocrypha, it was the
devil that told Noah--because God was planning to wipe out both man and the Nephilim, completely, with the Deluge and he wanted to save mankind (and annoy God by doing so).

So if one believes in a mental universe that is created in and occupied by the solo believer, isn't the individual the one really in control?
Only if one believes the premise of being in a mental universe. In my studies of the Reciprocal System, it would indicate that the mental universe is a
projection of an external universe and as such, mimics it--but not 100%, as a projection always includes dimensional reduction (a shadow does not possess the 3D geometry of the object casting it).
You might want to take a look at Manly P. Hall's work regarding the
Macroprosophus and
Microprosophus, the external and internal worlds of man, respectively.
Contrast Nature with the artificial realities created by man. And by "artificial reality," I don't mean a computer simulation, but all the building and construction that mankind does to alter the environment to suit his personal requirements--in complete defiance of the balancing principles of Nature. Nature, when left to itself, "finds a way" to keep things in balance, with a slow, steady evolution of consciousness. Man, on the other hand, throws everything into chaos... again, suggesting a curious inference that it is
mankind that is demonic, and the treacherous New World Order is the angelic!
Interesting the way these things work out, isn't it?

This thought leads me to my unfinished theory that freewill and fate are not mutually exclusive, but that is a topic for another time.
In my experience, they are not exclusive but
reciprocals. "Fate" is the nonlocal form of "free will." If "free will" were a magnet, "fate" would be the magnetic field.

sorry for the weird reply format but I couldn't figure out how to quote pieces
Just copy and paste the "quote" commands around the block of text you want to quote.
I've watched that before. There may already be a discussion on this forum about it, regarding black goo. Interesting concept.

Are we talking about a few remaining Rephaim (descendants of the Nephilim of old) who survived the Flood (a la Tolkien's Balrogs or Djinns) or other beings (Elementals?) that populate the Cosmic sector?
That was one of the first things that occurred to me, because the Rephaim--like man--survived the Deluge, so
where did they go? They were more suited to this environment than mankind was and we survived and prospered. It's been centuries since we've seen giants walking about.
But the problem there was that the Rephaim, as described in literature, were a lot like Harry Potter's mountain trolls--dumber than mud. They were disorganized and very rivalrous, so it seems unlikely that they would be able to pull off world control.
After the ancient gods were defeated, the bureaucracy of man was left hanging... lots of minions but no one to hand out their orders. The structure that was in place then is now called "The Powers That Be," the royal houses. And man is a natural slave--that is what he was engineered to be, regardless of all this free will stuff. Look at virtually EVERY video game--where you are going on "quests" to appease someone and do their bidding for points. Still a slave running errands for a master. Man will always FIND a master... and I think that happened, back in Tudor dynasty of the 17th century, triggering the industrial age and a new master's plan for humanity.
