The Lost Children

The Hierarchy of The Lost Children was a New Age group devoted to spiritual advancement through meditation and other spiritual exercises. They also believed that they were extraterrestrials stranded on Earth for many thousands of years. Very little beyond that is known about their “alien” beliefs right now. One of the goals of this film is to gather as much information about those beliefs as possible and determine what role they played in Evelyn Hamilton’s death.

What is currently known about The Lost Children was taken from their website, which is no longer active.

They were made up of several levels:

• The Father – Chance Sturges
• The Alpha – Evelyn Hamilton
• Archangels - The Archangels serve The Alpha and The Father. Besides The Alpha, they are the only level that trains directly below The Father. Archangels are responsible for the high-level functioning of the group. They are the “executives,” and are responsible for most managerial decisions, save those where they must consult The Father. But The Father’s word is inviolate. Any decision he makes will override a decision by any number of Archangels. Archangels hand their orders down to The Principals, who then carry them out, or delegate them to the Angels as needed.
• Principals – Principals are the “middle-management” of the group. They take orders from The Archangels, and carry them out, or delegate them to the Angels as needed. Principals never have contact above an Archangel. They never initiate direct contact with The Alpha, or The Father.
• Angels – The lowest level of achievement, above a Sleepwalker. Angels have one purpose: identifying Sleepwalkers, distinguishing them from the Gray Force, and recruiting them. This is one of the first things they are trained to do. They take their orders and training from the Principals.
• Sleepwalkers -One of the Lost Children who has not yet awakened to their true nature. They have been summoned by the call of return, but they are still confused. Angels are trained to recognize Sleepwalkers and distinguish them from the Gray Force.
• The Gray Force – You are not like the others who walk this world. They live, breathe and die in a cycle of ignorance. Their values, their politics and their concepts of relationships pale in comparison to what you now find in your true family. However, you have been given a wonderful advantage. You can now see them for what they really are, whereas their sad perceptions of life prevent them from seeing you as a more perfect and harmonious being. They live in darkness. Despite their protests and posturing, they live in fear and ignorance. They strive towards inertia and they subscribe to a form of xenophobia that wants to keep all others like them, buying time in a world of chaos and stunted awareness. Now that you have awakened, you have experienced that beautiful first glimpse of your true self and your true role in the Universe. Your previous perceptions of the status quo have been shattered and you can now see the path beyond the facade. Equally, you now find yourself in awe at the spiritually catatonic masses from which you are now free. You were drowning at the bottom of a great, dark pool, my children… and now you have surfaced into the light.

There’s no real evidence of these levels existing outside of The Lost Children, so presumably, Sturges made them up himself.

Printout of former Lost Children Website (now defunct)

The website contains other beliefs, such as the a belief in telepathy, and the belief that telepathy can be taught. Additionally, there is something called “Intraphysics.” And all of those who wanted to join The Lost Children would undergo what’s known as The Three Revelations of Metamorphosis.

The entire Lost Children group was brutally massacred by unknown parties. Only Chance Sturges and Evelyn Hamilton were known to have escaped. Shortly after, Evelyn Hamilton died and Sturges disappeared once again.

The point of this film is to investigate the events that lead to Evelyn Hamilton’s death.
