Are you suggesting that there is a class of wealthy sorcerers/men of knowledge who actively oppose the maniacal consolidation of economic/political/technological power that 'the elite' class is using on the masses to keep them mired in self importance and ignorant of the very simple concept of inner silence?
Quoting: Jonny Blaze I hope you are right, my friend. I have seen no evidence of this. But if they exist as you describe...masterful stalkers...they would have infiltrated into the other camp leaving no visible sign of their intent. They would have to use some form of 'sorcery' undetectable to their enemies in order to coordinate, surveil, and plan without being detected.
This could only be done with masterful stalkers and dreamers working together while avoiding detection by both the opposing human element and inorganic being element.
It seems farfetched. But Castaneda's works did seed the possibility of such a thing.
My favorite spiritual tradition is Taoism. It would suggest that for every "accomplished" evil/predatory being or evil secret society, there would exist and equally skillful/accomplished beneficial being. That all the evil/predatory/parasitic energy on this planet is indeed balanced by an equally motivated and enlightened counter group. Suggesting that the most powerful of both groups are hidden from one another and us.
Perhaps you are right. I am naturally a cynic. I have viewed the situation as this:
The forces of 'evil' that seek to control the masses by killing once and for all mankind's connecting link with intent are indeed a small group. But their minions are numerous.
They have a fragile alliance amongst them. Competition amongst them is encouraged. They are in a system that is performance based, thus they try to outmaneuver each other for more power. The higher up you go in their system, the more 'perks' (indulgences) you get rewarded with. But at the same time, more pressure is put on you to produce.
This system exists because so few are in control of so many. It's a command and control styled system that insulates the elite of elite ruling class at the center, who must serve some sort of powerful inorganic/supernatural force.
So just as the inorganic beings have a pyramidal structure with the phantoms at the bottom, the human element has a mirror structure with the average black magician working class stiff at the bottom.
The inorganic beings are maneuvering for power as well...the parasitic element that you mentioned.
While there may be a counter class of warriors/men of knowledge/sorcerers fighting to preserve the eagles gift,
there is no corresponding system. The counter force is headless/leaderless.
The only way to keep the system in check is to play on the competitive nature, the greed for power, inherent in the system. To amplify the struggle for greed among the wanna be elitists.
Get the factions to split. Divide them as they have divided the masses. Steer them into opportunistic conflicts amongst themselves. Give them a false sense of security. Get them to believe in their own lies.
Draw them out in the open and drown them like the sharks they are.
