“One must face the fact that all the talk about His [God’s] love for men, and His service being perfect freedom, is not (as one would gladly believe) mere propaganda, but an appalling truth. He [God] really does want to fill the universe with a lot of loathsome little replicas of Himself…” - Demon speaking in C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters, 1942
Alex Jones recent video regarding “The bigger plan” provoked my mind and spirit into deep thought. I can recognize the truth behind it because I have done the research over many years, and my spirit can discern truth. The reality is that this “plan” is bigger than Alex Jones or anyone else.

The reality is that this “plan” has been in progress for thousands of years. Attempting to put this nebulous idea into words is quite a task, but as it has progressed, we are gaining deeper insight into how it is working. It is rooted in biblical prophecy, but it is human beings who are manifesting beliefs and ideas into our reality. It just so happens that what is being manifest is precisely what was written over 2,000 years ago.
Insights from prominent Christian social commentator and author C. S. Lewis, along with his contemporary George Orwell, show us a similar line of thought over 50 years before Alex Jones was even thought of.
Lewis and Orwell were given insight, whether from life experience, deep research, spiritual revelation, or a combination of all three. They, and others not mentioned here, saw that humanity was approaching a crossroads. The intersection of advanced technology and an evil force directing it, shaping humans to its own designs, was a central idea in what they warned about.
C. S. Lewis denounced transhumanism in 1945, long before the general public became aware of the concept.
Lewis’ 1945 book That Hideous Strength ties in ideas that he put forth in another of his works titled The Abolition of Man. Hideous Strength is a work of fiction set amidst a supernatural battle between good and evil. The book revolves around the National Institute for Coordinated Experiments (NICE) and the organization’s plot to seize control of all life and eliminate “dead weight.” Lewis wrote,
“You are to conceive the species as an animal which has discovered how to simplify nutrition and locomotion to such a point that the old complex organs and the large body which contained them are no longer necessary. The masses are therefore to disappear. The body is to become all head. The human race is to become all technology.”
George Orwell’s commentary on Lewis’ book was published in the Manchester Evening News in 1945 with the headline “THE SCIENTISTS TAKE OVER.” Orwell wrote,
“All superfluous life is to be wiped out, all natural forces tamed, the common people are to be used as slaves and vivisection subjects by the ruling caste of scientists, who even see their way to conferring immortal life upon themselves. Man, in short, is to storm the heavens and overthrow the gods, or even to become a god himself.
There is nothing outrageously improbable in such a conspiracy. Indeed, at a moment when a single atomic bomb – of a type already pronounced “obsolete” – has just blown probably three hundred thousand people to fragments, it sounds all too topical. Plenty of people in our age do entertain the monstrous dreams of power that Mr. Lewis attributes to his characters, and we are within sight of the time when such dreams will be realisable.”
Thanks to Alex Jones and others, the general public is now aware of the elites plan over 50 years after Lewis and Orwell penned these words.
The “next step”
Transhumanism, the idea of man merging with machine, is the religion of the elite. This future is being pushed on the globe as though it is an inevitable fate.
In another of Lewis’ works, Mere Christianity, he reveals insight into the possibilty that the “next step” in “evolution” has already happened; And that it is a spiritual choice to follow Jesus Christ, not a technologial “upgrade.”
Lewis writes in Mere Christianity,
“…people often wonder “What is the next step? When is the thing beyond man going to appear?” “The Christian view is precisely that the Next Step has already appeared… He [Jesus Christ] is the origin and centre and life of all the new men. He came into the created universe, of His own will, bringing with Him the Zoe, the new life.”
