When we built this multi-family complex
we made a big mistake -
we lost money.
We gave them small gardens
and windows, we installed water,
lighting, and heating systems.
This was a wrong concept.
A man doesn't need a home,
all he needs is a shelter.
If we can sell him on the idea
of a shelter, we can make millions.
A worker will come here only to sleep,
he won't need electricity or water.
He won't have to cook,
we'll condition him to eat at the factory.
These are communal latrine trucks
for the entire building.
You have power and money,
but you are mortal.
You know you cannot escape death.
But immortality can be obtained.
In old traditions they speak
of holy mountains.
The Meru mountain of India.
Mount Kunlun of the Taoists.
The Karakoram of the Himalaya.
The mountain of the philosophers.
The Rosicrucian mountain.
The Cabalistic mountain
of San Juan De La Cruz.
There are many other holy mountains.
The legend is always the same.
Nine Immortal men live on top
of the mountain.
From the highest peak
they direct our world.
They hold the secret
to the conquest of death.
They are more
than 40,000 years old.
But they were once like ourselves.
If others have succeeded
in conquering death,
why must we accept it?
I know where the Immortals live
and how to obtain their secret.
In this ancient Rosicrucian manuscript,
I found an etching of the Nine Immortals
and the place where they live.
The holy mountain of Lotus Island.
Some men join forces to assault banks
and steal money, pieces of paper.
We must unite our forces to assault
the holy mountain,
and rob its wise men
of their secret of immortality.
But to conquer the wisdom
of the Immortals,
we too must become wise men.
The elements of chemistry
are many, but finite.
So are the techniques of enlightenment.
To reach it more quickly
we will combine the techniques.
With the correct formula, any human
being can become enlightened.
The Immortals are a group.
If we are to succeed,
we must cease to be individuals,
and become a collective being.
Burn your money!
Thief! If you don't want to die,
kill your money.
We shall destroy the self image,
unsteady, wavering, bewildered,
full of desire, distracted, confused.
When the self concept thinks,
this is I and that is mine,
he binds himself
and he forgets the great self.
- His feet stink like a rotten dog.
- He has beautiful teeth.
I can't stand the smell.
When he puts all your bones back
together, you will like his smell.
Man learned to cultivate the earth
by weakening the plants,
wild plants remained as they were
at the moment of creation.
They are the humble
guardians of the secret.
