I wanted to add this: Though none of the occult terms and fields mentioned in this post ever came up to my knowledge, GB did claim he could "read the akashic records" (he pronounced this ah-kay-shic) and he used this claim to "authenticate" his predictions and analyses. An interesting thing which comes up with regard to this post is that GW's sister, a member of the Socialist Workers Party, was the only member of the family who didn't come under fire from Brody.
I must apologize. I read most of this forum in one (looong) sitting and should have made better notes for myself. I got GW's sister (member of the Socialist Workers Party) confused in my mind with Margaret Kukoda. That's why I thought a link between some of the more mystical schools of psychology and some Socialist 'sects' might be interesting. Now that I understand the link to
Socialism(s) is thru George Waters' family, that idea seems of little relevance to me. I will amend my original post (as cleanly as I can) to indicate that idea was born of my confusion.
Thank you, Annasmom for you speedy feedback and the info you've added! I was looking for some kind of specific references - to place the Brody rantings which Dr Doogie kindly scanned and posted, into some kind of context. This info: "Though none of the occult terms and fields mentioned in this post ever came up to my knowledge, GB did claim he could "read the akashic records" (he pronounced this ah-kay-shic) and he used this claim to "authenticate" his predictions and analyses." hits the nail on the head and will be very helpful to me.
Dr D - My thoughts on a possible motive were inspired by your own (and several other people's) deductions & speculations - from a way-back posting where you declared "these so-and-sos DID IT!" and related postings about "The Plan".
So, with my confusion now cleared up a bit, I'm thinking;
- Brody strikes me as someone who tried to graft Madame Blavatsky school Theosophy in with a spiritual/mystical psychoanalysis - not as a devotee of any established metaphysical/occult or religious traditions, organizations or "cults". If that is true, the probability that he might have been a solitary theorist before meeting Waters would go up and the likelihood of finding other members of a hypothetical Brody-led group (who might have been involved in hiding Anna, as someone proposed) would go down...unfortunately.
- I see circumstantial evidence supporting the idea that a very precise, specific Brody prediction about the date and circumstances of Waters' death could have been a strong part of their bond. If a forecast of that nature did happen, it might have included 'promises' that Waters and his death (and the insurance policy monies designated to Brody thru Waters' death) would play a kind of "John the Baptist" role and glory - setting in motion the fulfillment of whatever Brody imagined his "true purpose" to be.
- The info provided in this forum, about GW's obsession with having Brody recognised by 'authorities' as GW's next-of-kin contact, combined with the multiple insurance policies naming Brody (not Anna) as beneficiary, and the seemingly nonsensical Plan to buy more policies that
would name his natural next of kin and heir (Anna) as beneficiary - pump up their value and then switch the beneficiary to Brody - suggest to me that one or the other or both of these men might have viewed Anna as a potential legal threat to their plans (whatever those were).
