Hypnotism

[QUOTING]

Hypnotism occurs when a person of strong will puts a weaker person into a kind of trance by applying an occult method. Once the weaker person is in such a state, he will do anything the hypnotist suggests. Such a practice is black magic and very dangerous, both morally and physically. A hypnotic trance can be brought about in two ways, firstly when the hypnotist concentrates on the medulla oblongata of his subject; secondly, by means of the hypnotic stare, that is, by concentration on the eyes of the subject.

If hypnotic domination is applied long enough, the subject becomes entirely dependent on the hypnotist. The consciousness no longer has any control over the body and such a person is then lived. The hypnotist can give his orders telepathically, even at a great distance and the subject is forced to react. This kind of magic is a great sin and entails a severe karmic penalty.

Dreadful crimes such as murder, theft and sexual excesses are committed under such compulsion and when the subject awakens from his hypnotic sleep he knows nothing of what happened, as is also the case with mediums. He only experiences the physical results.

There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves and all organic and other vital bodily functions are controlled by them. Through hypnotic concentration these twenty-four nerve streams are disturbed. In the long run, the subject's consciousness can no longer control them and becomes completely dependent on the hypnotist. Just as an addict can no longer live without his narcotics, the subject without his hypnotist becomes a wreck and he may even take this tie for 'love'.

When a person is hypnotized, the head of the vital body splits into two and the two halves can be observed on either side of the material head, hanging across the shoulders or around the neck like a collar. The vital body of the hypnotist is then substituted for it. After hypnosis, recovery is only partially possible and the body is disorganized.

As the ethers around the head are mainly reflecting ethers (thought ether), it is clear that not one single experience can be engraved on the mind. In this way, the subject loses his memory and can gain no experience. Life for such a person will be useless; it is a horrible crime to cause such a condition in a human being.

For the same reason, hypnotism used for medical purposes, as is done in modern psychology, is objectionable and dangerous, both for the physician and the patient. In fact, the physician brings about a tie with his patient so that after some time, the patient becomes his doctor's double; he thinks, lives and speaks as his doctor does; he can no longer do without him and lives by his suggestions until, finally, the patient is left alone. Then he may be cured of a certain complex but incalculable damage has been done to his twenty-four nerve streams.

It is always wrong for the layman to work with occult forces he does not understand. It is even worse when a black magician hypnotizes his victim deliberately

Two things: never let anyone hypnotize you for any reason. It is not a parlor-game, nor is it an acceptable method of healing. You may as well take your head off your shoulders and pass it to the hypnotist, because your mind will no longer belong exclusively to you.

Secondly, horrendous and inexplicable crimes have taken place over the past several years across the globe. School shootings, movie theatre shootings, mall shootings and the like. Often, the perpetrators either take their own lives or are apprehended with wild-eyes staring blankly. They are placed on trial where an explanation is never offered for their irrational, murderous acts. There is always more behind these incidents than what the propagandizing mainstream media conspires to have you believe.

There are entities on this planet who have the ability to see great distances (remote viewing) and to influence the mind of targeted humans. One word, one signal, and the automaton will carry out his murderous mission as faithfully and diligently as a Navy Seal. When it's over, it ends with a blank stare or a self-inflicted coup de grace.

The events that take place on this earth are carefully staged to condition and control blind humanity. Hypnosis, mind-control and remote-viewing are just a few of the tools used to ensure that these events unfold as designed.

Impossible? Unbelievable? Paranoid nonsense? That's exactly the reaction that is desired. Your disbelief is their ally.

In any event, the main thrust of the post stands: don't play with occult forces you do not understand. And never voluntarily give over control of your mind or body. You may not get it back.

The Need For Insight

The situation is dire and has been so for thousands of years.

Man's ignorance of his true state-of-being is his worst enemy. As long as humanity remains in the dark about the invisible mechanics of this nature-order and the inevitable misery that our constant wrong-thinking and wrong-feeling brings upon us, the archons and aeons of this nature-order will remain in full control. Man will live and die in ignorance, doomed to return again to live and die in ignorance. The Wheel turns endlessly. 

"My people are lost for lack of Knowledge".

Occasionally, this writer is asked why doesn't he lighten up? Why so serious, etc. Don't get it wrong, humor has its place, but there is nothing funny about the revelations that await those who truly seek. We are in deep mess, and if too much time is wasted indulging in frivolity we will be in danger of lulling ourselves back to sleep and missing the boat yet again. We are here to find the way out of here! That is our mission! That is the One Goal of Humanity!

It is imperative that - like Dorothy - we "unmask the Wizard"; that the curtain be pulled aside so that man can see how he is utterly, utterly enslaved. It is hoped that when the Seeker gains insight into what earth-"life" is really all about, the discouragement and disillusionment will cut so deeply that the Candidate will cry out for the Liberation, and perhaps begin to look for The Way Out.

If one remains attached to any part of this world, even the so-called "good" parts, one will bind oneself to this nature-order and ensure a return-trip for more of the same. All must be put aside. All must be renounced. No one is saying that is an easy task. It is very, very difficult; primarily because we are so thoroughly a part of this emergency-order of existence and have been for many hundreds of thousands of years.

In order to break our chains, we must first recognize that we are imprisoned. To be free, we must find the Keys to our Salvation.

Tear away the world that has been pulled over your eyes. Renounce the world and all the matter therein.

Stay Out Of The Churches (and Temples, and Mosques, and...)

[QUOTING]

It is relevant to this discussion to dwell for a moment on the dangers of natural religion that may threaten the Seeker. Natural religion applies a certain kind of magic, which is not Christian in the sense of having been given by Jesus Christ, for it has been taken over from pre-Christian cults, particularly from brahminism. Brahminism, in turn, derived this magic from still older cults, which had received it from ancient Atlantis.

This magic is a caricature of the magic of the ancient king-priests of the First Period, when the whole of mankind was still under the guidance of true magicians and man did not yet possess an autonomous thinking faculty. It is applied by a group that does not possess a Spiritual School and by priests who do not have inner Knowledge. The aim of this magic is to raise a spiritual construction and so to build a power-field with a certain vibration.

This seems very fine indeed, but a power-field has no liberating value unless it is built up and maintained consciously and voluntarily by all those who participate in it. However, natural religion, if it lasts long enough, results in absolute sterilization according to the spirit and soul. Therefore, all ancient magic is a great danger for modern man.

What happens through this kind of magic? By ritual, sung and spoken in a dead language, by specially-prepared music, by perfumes, by the mudras of priests and by magnetized waters and other preparations, the faithful are brought into a trance-like state, a state of negativity of the consciousness. In this state, fluids (ethers) are drawn from the vital bodies of the faithful by means of which power-fields are built up by nature-spirits (which are called "angels" but in fact are not). Just as a medium is connected with his control-spirit, so the faithful, after a few of these magic applications, are bound with their entire being; and it takes a tremendous effort to escape from this grip. In regions and countries where such magic can be applied without disturbance, backwardness, primitiveness and terrible social conditions prevail.

By means of this magic, natural religion even lays hold of the children in the family, binding them from the time of their birth, and it accompanies its flock until the hours of death. When death approaches, it even ensures their captivity afterwards, because on the other side of the grave, the natural hierarchy is just as well-organized and strong and has just as much power over its prisoners as it does here. It receives the dead who, due to the magic for the dying, are spiritually deaf, blind and unable to gain any consciousness of the True Light; and when the time comes it seals their microcosms back to the field of material manifestation in a state of almost unbreakable imprisonment. The bondage is thus complete and in this way the herd is kept in existence.

The herd is enlarged by means of missionary work. The primitive methods of missionaries, with their mass baptisms, mass communions and processions, often move the unknowing to laughter. However, it is no laughing matter, for these are serious mass deprivations of liberty, before the very eyes of all mankind.

We ought also to mention that certain natural-religious groups emanating from occultism imitate this kind of magic. They know that it is ancient and dangerous, but they nevertheless use it in the belief that it can be made beneficial. However, this is a great error.

Magic is liberating only if it is applied from within, from inner Knowledge, in selfless service; when it is an act of the new will ignited in God. Magic, liberating magic, must be based on an inner quality. Those who have sufficient awareness and have risen above the herd-animal are no longer entirely open to the magic applied by natural occultism. Such groups therefore have to lead a somewhat limited existence.

These natural-religious creations of movements that were originally occult have reached the end of their potential. To justify their continued existence, they need a total, fundamental re-orientation and a living binding with the task of those with Remembrance. It is our heartfelt wish that they may have such an orientation.

Perhaps now, one can perceive a glimmer of insight into why, during the past age, the catholic church and other major natural-religions have expended so much effort and shed so much blood in attempting to gain as many converts as possible. Venturing into bush and jungle to forcibly convert so-called 'savages" to the christian faith. That was once the prime directive of the Jesuit order, who knew of this magic and therefore knew exactly what they were doing. Hence their zeal and dedication to the task of "gathering souls". In addition, the Church crushed with extreme prejudice any and all who followed the Light, knew the Truth and therefore opposed and worked to expose the evil masquerade.

Constant exposure to earth-bound religions will condition the astral body of a human-being to conform to a certain rate of vibration. That person's thinking, willing and desiring will, of course, be in line with that vibration. The worst of it is, at the moment of death, the newly-deceased takes that astral-state into the reflection-sphere. As has been repeated in this blog on numerous occasions (because we do not want to forget) "like attracts like". Those who have taken their natural-religious state into the natural "hereafter" will find themselves guided or led to enormous cathedrals or temples or mosques of indescribable beauty and stature. They will climb the crystal stairs be-decked with gold and jewels of every description. Choirs with angelic voices will serenade them as they walk past. Upon reaching the enormous doors that will open before them, they will cry tears of utter joy as they enter the mighty edifice. The majestic doors will then slowly close behind them and it's...Gotcha!

That soul becomes a prisoner of the aeon of Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Protestantism, etc. Their soul energy will be used in service to that aeonic power. Bound in this fashion, they will be forced, upon their return to earth-life, to be born into a Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Protestant family, or whatever natural-religion they were caught up in when they passed on from the previous life. The circuit of imprisonment is neatly closed.

Stay out of the churches. There is great danger there. Far more danger than can be imagined.

The Thousand-Year Reign

[QUOTING]

"Albeit at the dissolution of the universe, that is, when the number of the perfect souls is completed and the mystery through which the universe altogether has risen, is completed, I will pass a thousand years  according to the years of the Light, being king over all the emanations of the Light and over the whole number of the perfect souls who have received all mysteries".

It came to pass, when Jesus had finished speaking these words to his disciples, that Mary Magdalene came forward and said: "My Lord, how many years of the world is a year of the Light?"

Jesus answered and said unto Mary: "A day of the Light is a thousand years in the world, so that thirty-six myriads* of years and a half-myriad of years of the world are a single year of the Light.

"I shall, therefore, pass a thousand years of the Light being king over all the emanations of the Light and over the whole number of perfect souls who have received the mysteries of the Light.

"And ye, my disciples, and everyone who shall receive the mystery of the Ineffable, will abide with me on my right and on my left, being kings with me in my kingdom".

* A myriad is equal to 10,000

So, given the above, how many years of the world are a thousand years of the Light?

Do Not Procrastinate

[QUOTING]

Mary [Magdalene] continued again and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, if the faith and the mysteries shall have revealed themselves, -- now, therefore, if souls come into the world in many circuits [lives] and are neglectful of receiving mysteries [gnosis], hoping that, if they come into the world at any other circuit, they will receive them, will they not be in danger of not succeeding in receiving the mysteries?"

The Saviour answered and said unto his disciples: "Herald unto the whole world and say unto men:

Strive thereafter that ye may receive the mysteries of the Light in this time of affliction and enter into the Light-kingdom. Join not one day to another, or one circuit to another, hoping that ye may succeed in receiving the mysteries if ye come into the world in another circuit.

"And these know not when the number of perfect souls will be at hand, for if the number of perfect souls shall be at hand, I will now shut the gates of the Light, and no one from this hour onwards will enter in, nor will anyone hereafter go forth, for the number of the perfect souls is completed and the mystery of the First Mystery is completed, for the sake of which the universe hath arisen, -- that is, I am that Mystery.

"And from this hour onwards, no one will be able to enter into the Light and no one be able to go forth. For at the completion of the time of the number of perfect souls, before I have set fire to the world, in order that it may purify the aeons and the veils and the firmaments and the whole earth and also all the matters which are on it, mankind will still be existing.

"At that time the faith will reveal itself still more and the mysteries in those days. And many souls will come by means of the circuits of the changes of the body, and coming back into the world are some of those in this present time who have hearkened unto me, how I taught, who at the completion of the number of the perfect souls will find the mysteries of the Light and receive them and come to the gates of the Light and find that the number of the perfect souls is complete, which is the completion of the First Mystery and the gnosis of the universe. And they will find that I have shut the gates of the Light and that it is impossible that any one should enter in or that any one should go forth from this hour.

"Those souls will knock at the gates of the Light, saying: Lord, open unto us! And I will answer unto them: I know you not, whence ye are. And they will say unto me: We have received of thy mysteries and fulfilled the whole teaching and thou hast taught us on the high ways. And I will answer and say unto them: I know you not, who ye are, ye who are doers of iniquity and evil even unto now. Wherefore go into the outer darkness. And from that hour they will go into the outer darkness, there where is howling and grinding of teeth.

"For this cause then, herald unto the whole world and say unto them: 

'Strive thereafter, renounce the whole world and the whole matter therein, that ye may receive the mystery of the Light before the number of the perfect souls is completed, in order that they may not make you stop before the gates of the Light and lead you away into the outer darkness'.

"Now therefore, who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

Perhaps you noticed the statement about some of those from the time of the Christ being incarnate in the world today. Through the man Jesus, the Christ presented the Teachings to tens of thousands of people. Some were casual listeners, others sincere but weak and there were still others who accepted the teachings and followed them faithfully.

It is said that we return to earth-life in cycles of 700 to 1,000 years. The Christ made its appearance among men two thousand years ago. You do the math. We are now at the end of the Piscean Age and have moved into the Age of Aquarius, the Water-Bearer ("I will pour out my Spirit over all men"). Many are being driven by their past-life exposure to the Gnosis to seek it once again during this cycle. Unfortunately, the world is awash in false teachings and spiritual dead-ends. Souls are being misled, discouraged or disillusioned.

Don't stop striving to find the one Truth, the Only Good. Don't stop striving to awaken the Divine Spark that sleeps within your heart and to begin walking the transfiguristic Path of Return. This is what you were born to do, my friends. Now is the greatest opportunity you will get to do it. Don't wait, don't procrastinate. The time to open your heart to the Gnosis is now.

Renounce the world and all the matter therein.

Pistis Sophia

Pistis Sophia (Extracts from the Books of the Saviour) is a gnostic gospel considered to be apocrypha. You can find the accepted definition of the word apocrypha in any dictionary. Within this blog, you will find the actual definitions of apocrypha:

1. "Things the Catholic Church did not (and do not) want you to know, discuss, or have access to".

2. "The pure, true teachings of the Christ"

Pistis Sophia is a remarkable work, a two-thousand year old gnostic treasure left for the Seekers of today. It starts off as follows:

"It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them only up to the regions of the First Mystery...".

The heavily edited and redacted Bible ends the sojourn of the Christ on earth with his ascension. Pistis Sophia, begins where the truncated canonical gospels leave off. In it, the Christ narrates to his disciples the story of Pistis Sophia, who represents those who seek the Light, the gnosis ("Pistis" = earthly knowledge, "Sophia" = divine Wisdom). He explains to them the obstacles faced by the true seeker as well as many of the mysteries that lie beyond the Veil, spoken in truth without similitude.

The G. R. S. Mead version is the most well-known.

This work is highly recommended.

The Twelve Monstrosities

[QUOTING]

An aeon is a wondrous creation of cosmic proportions, created by mortal souls. Let us return to this briefly. Twelve great astral magnetic currents control the macrocosm (g: the solar system). Each of these currents influences and controls a part of every microcosm (g: you) and the mortal soul present in it. These twelve magnetic currents guide the processes of birth, life and death, plus the subsequent processes of dissolution and construction of every mortal soul (g: reincarnation).

In addition, these twelve magnetic currents are responsible for the creation of three triple forces in the mortal soul, namely the will, the mind, and the desires.

These three forces together determine the consciousness --  the I. They each have three faculties: the ability to attract, to repel, and to neutralize. The cooperation of these three abilities makes possible a countless number of soul-activities, and the actions that arise from them cause the state-of-life of the individual human-being in his ascents and descents through life. With these three faculties the mortal soul can perform tremendous creative acts, such as the creation of mental images.

In the soul's great struggle to live, to stay alive, and to survive the struggle for existence, in that breath-taking defense against immeasurable threats and seized by a thousand-and-one fears, the soul populates its bio-sphere with numerous mental images of all kinds.

All these innumerable mental images of these innumerable human souls can be divided absolutely into twelve classes or groups. Some aspect in each of these mental fabrications corresponds primarily to one of the twelve great astral currents. Hence you can imagine that the general laws of vibration (g: "like attracts like") cause all human mental images  to collect together to form twelve extremely powerful forces, created and maintained by humanity. They are fed on the one hand by the twelve macrocosmic currents and on the other by the uninterrupted flow of human mental activity.

This exchange between the twelve astral forces and mortal souls causes the formation of twelve anomalies, twelve gigantic monstrosities. These have been formed according to natural laws, and they increasingly pollute and delude the dualistic universe. These twelve monstrosities, with all their effects and side-effects, eventually begin to rule the entire dualistic system and cause it to deviate from its course. For this reason a great cleansing is repeatedly necessary followed by a new Day of Manifestation. The microcosms (g: you) keep having to be freed from the grip of the twelve monstrosities, which the microcosms themselves have formed. If such a cleansing did not take place, the salvation of the microcosms would stagnate permanently and the whole macrocosm would congeal, as is rightly stated in Dante's Inferno.

In the Pistis Sophia, the twelve monstrosities are called the 'twelve aeons', and the archons of the aeons draw attention to the many activities that emanate from them. All worship of gods and the whole range of religious and occult activities  are connected with this If you have participated or are still participating in this, then your god too, is connected with this and you are also bound, with all the corresponding consequences and pains!

[END QUOTING]

Man does not live, he is lived. As humanity lapsed into forgetfulness over the ages, knowledge concerning the power of thought was also forgotten. Humanity's control of its mental activity  progressively deteriorated, eventually becoming what it is today: chaotic, willy-nilly and usually self-directed. Thoughts are things...they go somewhere. The combined result of mankind's enormous and continuous mental activity is the creation of twelve great astral powers, twelve aeons. These twelve aeons have twelve distinct characteristics which control most of humanity and are commonly known to man as the zodiac.

To be truly free, man must first free himself from the influences of the Twelve. It is the task of the Spiritual School to assist all those who wish to break these chains. However, before a man can be freed, he must first recognize that he is imprisoned. He must gain insight into the true nature of his condition. Once he understands the seriousness of his plight, it is hoped that he will cry out for release from the cycles and begin to yearn for salvation. This is blessing, because this yearning acts as a call. A call for that which is not of this world. A call that will be answered by the Gnosis.
