...onditions to be present for themselves [and humanity as a whole] such as happiness, health, peace, and freedom, but aren't completely honest with themselves. When they are told that those aren't automatic conditions, that there are specific requirements in order to obtain those conditions, they usually don't want to hear about it because it requires time, attention and action. Or it conflicts with their beliefs. Nothing happens magically, though. If you want something to be a certain way, or a different way than it already is, there are requirements. We need to know certain things. Knowledge is required. If that knowledge is completely absent, then it can't be discovered and used to create change; but if it is present, it is being willfully ignored and dismissed. As long as this knowledge continues to remain unknown or ignored, the manifestation of those desired conditions will be impossible. This knowledge has been occulted for a very long time, and for a specific reason. The word "occult" itself has been deliberately obfuscated to ensure that it remains that way. Just do a Google search of the word and you'll see nothing but dark images and negativity. This is how far removed we are from what it actually is and means due to false Hollywood and religious notions. Light Occultists hid this knowledge to keep it from being eradicated during very draconian times or from falling into the wrong hands. Dark Occultists, however, hide it because they know what this knowledge being in the hands of the masses would mean for their control system. Their social-engineering efforts are the reason most people today have false or negative connotations about anything labeled "occult." So, we need to de-mystify the word. DE-MYSTIFYING "THE OCCULT" Most people tend to associate the term with spiritualism, witchcraft, demon conjuring, fortune tellers, and so on. The reason for this is obfuscation and the mind-control tactic of repetition – the deliberate and repetitive association of words with false meanings. The same has been done with the word "anarchy" (which I'll go into in another section). I'm not saying that such practices don't incorporate occult knowledge, but they absolutely do not define it as a whole. They are either perversions or mystifications of that knowledge which are then moulded into exoteric belief systems. They exist so that your initial response is "all of that stuff is of the devil" or "that's all just a bunch of silly nonsense." If you're coming from a religious mindset or any other dogmatic belief system that is telling you everything under the term "occult" is bad – that everything within your box of belief is good and anything outside of it is evil – you are under mind control. This dissuasion is deliberate – not to protect you from some dark realm, but to hold you back from genuine discovery of what's taking place in the world at large and the world within. You need to stop looking at the occult through this corrupted lens and start seeing it for what it actually is. The word 'occult' is related to vision; what we can see. It comes from the Latin occultare meaning "to conceal or hide", which comes from oculus meaning "eye". To occult something is to keep it from being seen. So, it literally means "hidden". OCCULTISM IS A SCIENCE True Occultism differs greatly from mysticism. It is the scientific study of the Hidden Laws which are at work in the invisible / mental / spiritual domain far more than those at work in the visible / physical world. Occultism involves the acceptance of a much wider worldview than that which is commonly taken by the everyday person. Therefore, occultists can be defined as those who study ALL the Laws of Nature; both those that are readily seen (the Physical Laws), and those which are much more difficult to see with the eyes or measuring instruments alone (the Spiritual Laws). And actually, any knowledge that isn't readily seen or accessible can be considered occult knowledge. How much do we know about the science of propulsion systems used in advanced aircraft? What about the knowledge of free energy technology? Knowledge of The Trivium Method, as well. These things can be considered occult as much as anything else that isn't widely known. A DOUBLE-EDGED BLADE Again... the Occult isn't Good or Evil, it's just knowledge. Anything that isn't readily available or widely known by the masses is occulted knowledge. What makes it Good or Evil is how you use it. It's no different than a sharp blade. A knife can be used to harm or kill someone, or it can be used to prepare a nutritious meal. It's just a tool. The consciousness of its wielder determines if it is used for good or ill. Therefore, there can be Light Occultism (the study of hidden knowledge for the uplift of human consciousness) or Dark Occultism (the study of hidden knowledge for the control and manipulation of human consciousness). A Light Occultist today must become a De-Occultist, because we need to be spreading this knowledge, not hoarding it. When we de-occult it, it no longer remains hidden. It becomes common knowledge. Those who are in control of this world are occultists; and since their goals are not in alignment with human progress and evolution, we call them Dark Occultists. They are psychopathic individuals who have and deeply understand this ancient knowledge of nature and human psychology, and they use it for the purpose of control. So, it is vital to discover it for yourself. They've used cultural religions (and other belief systems) to dissuade us from discovering it by calling it "evil" or "unimportant" or "absurd." When there is a differential in knowledge, it creates a differential in power. WHAT COMPRISES OCCULT KNOWLEDGE? It is made up of two primary bodies of knowledge called Arcana – Major Arcana – the knowledge of the cosmos, the Laws of Nature, the outer world. Minor Arcana – the knowledge of the Self, the psyche, consciousness, the inner world. All knowledge of any true importance is found in these arcana. The dark occult priests that control the world understand it deeply, and they either deliberately hide this knowledge from the masses or use naysaying through false belief systems as a means of dissuading people from looking into it. The greatest and most occulted knowledge on earth is Natural Law, the Universal Spiritual Laws that govern the consequences of our aggregate behavior. It's the most important knowledge above all, and it's the Master Key that will open all of the prison cells that we've built up for ourselves. "Nature about us uses the language of symbolism for the enfoldment of the potential of all its creations. The mysteries of life do not explain themselves or issue any dogmatic statement about their ways or workings." – Manly P. Hall, Sages And Seers "The voice of the Divine speaks to us, but it isn't going to speak louder than our own egoic internal racket. We have turn down our mental chatter, calm the ego, and listen. Then that still small voice will be ever clear." – Michael Tsarion Much of modern-day religion derives from occult philosophy. The holy books are basically occult tomes filled with spiritual allegory, but much of the valuable information that gets to the core of truth has either been omitted, perverted and twisted by religion, or obfuscated in order to suppress consciousness, to create apathy and inaction, and ultimately to control people. Most pulpit preachers, vicars and rabbis won't reveal any of that knowledge openly, nor will it be taught in mainstream literature. Still, it is vast and discoverable. Knowing and understanding it is vital to our Freedom, to overcoming that power differential. Our ignorance is our peril. Truth must be desired, though. It will not reveal itself to those who lack that desire. It has to be sought. That's why the Dark Occultists put things in our way to dissuade us and distract us, to suppress that desire. That's what all the distractions are there for: to drown out that inner voice of reason that calls us to truth, to trap us in ego and false belief through religion, media, politics, etc. When you acquire occult knowledge you will have a greater understanding of how the universe works, how the human psyche works, and it will arm you in this fight. To be ignorant of it is what the Dark Occultists want. Nothing can change until WE know what THEY know. Religionists who say not to look into the occult and call it "evil," you DO NOT know what you're talking about. The psychopaths who are behind all ostensible religion want you believing it's all evil so you won't look into it, wake up to their lies, and fight back. THE FIRST STEPS OF OCCULT INITIATION #1 – STOP LYING TO YOURSELF This is the first dictate of the Hermetic pathway to initiation into the occult world and true occult philosophy. You have to stop lying to yourself. If you continue to reinforce your dogmatic beliefs you'll be more willing to lie to other people, as well. You have to check yourself. You have to check your assumptions, your axioms, you underlying foundational beliefs upon which you build everything else. If you build on a false axiom then you're building on an weak foundation. Then everything you build on top of that is going to be faulty. #2 – STOP DREAMING Stop thinking the world works in a way other than how it actually works. Don't project a rosy world vision onto a bad situation such as the condition of slavery. Try to truly understand the Laws of Creation, both physical and spiritual; both seen and unseen; both of which that affect matter and affect the consequences of our behavior based upon our free-will choices. #3 – LEARN HOW TO THINK Learn and engage the Trivium process, the true scientific method of discovery. This is how you grow in your understanding of how reality works. You form an hypothesis of how it works, and then you test it with observation, measurement and experimentation, filtering out inconsistencies and contradictions. If you find any contradictions in your hypothesized model, you then must go back and revise the model. You cannot work backwards by trying to fit your data into your original hypothesis. That's not thinking, that's clinging onto a belief system. #4 – LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT Don't dwell on the past because it's gone. You cannot get those moments back. And don't live in perpetual anxiety over the future. What this step also means is PAY ATTENTION. Learn how to control and quiet the thoughts of the mind so you can bring in new data. If your head is constantly full of chatter, with no space in the mind, nothing new can come in to teach you. You cannot be taught in this mindset. The internal dialog needs to be tamed. It doesn't mean you completely obliterate all thought, but to calm all the chatter such that when new information is being spoken, you are able to pay full present-moment attention. #5 – ACTIVATE THE PHYSICAL BODY This is about physical fitness, nutrition, and preparing yourself for any possible altercations with oppressive forces. Not to dwell on such things and be a doomer, but simply to be in your best physical shape if such a situation were to happen. It's important to be in good health, regardless. The body is your vessel, and a healthy vessel keeps the mind healthy, as well. If you're taking into yourself toxic foods and other harmful substances, and living too sedentary of a life, you are hindering your ability to take right action in the world. So, take care of your physical health, your mental health, and even your emotional health. You need to be able to survive anything negative that may be coming and be able to prosper afterwards. And these five steps aren't exclusively just for those entering the world of the occult, but for anyone looking to better themselves and evolve in consciousness. THE DARK OCCULT: HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT "Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws." ― Confucius "If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it." – Edward Bernays One of the biggest tricks of the Dark Occult is to tell people exactly what they plan to do but in a language that they know most people won't care to understand (occult symbols, green language, archaic Latin, etc). To them, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, only that they told you and you didn't say NO. Not saying NO means "YES" to them. It's a demented way of getting you to give them full permission to control and rule you. I would suggest that this is part of the reason why people in the ancient past were told "thou shalt not make any graven image" (a decree that actually antedates the Torah). This was about confounding a very intuitive universal language. The church wants us to believe this "commandment" was about the worship of idols, but this is far from the truth. What is a graven image? A graven image is simply art. Allegorical art (symbolism, archetypes) is how ancient societies expressed their experiences, knowledge and understanding of spiritual concepts. Everyone understood what was being conveyed. The dark occultists of their time couldn't fully control the minds and destinies of human beings if they all communicated through this universal language. So they banned it and diverted communication towards the written word, and that's when more and more conflicts began to arise due to language barriers, more people being rooted in left-brained thought, and arguments over interpretation. Of course, this ban didn't last forever, but the damage had been done. The subconscious mind, however, is still receptive to and influenced by symbolism. That's its language. If humanity no longer has symbol literacy they won't be able to see or understand what's being done to them through the subversive use of symbols and colors, and that makes mind control very easy. For example: imagine if someone draws a picture of themselves punching you in the face, and then they hand you the picture. If you have no symbol literacy and can't make correlations, you won't even think to interpret the image as the person punching you in the face, you'll just see a funny drawing. Then the next day you're punched in the face. "Well, I told you yesterday, but you didn't say no!" CORRELATIONAL THINKING The study and understanding of symbolism fosters what is known as Correlational Thinking. This is so important and is lacking in much of our society. For example, trying to teach some symbolism to family members or friends such as the all-seeing eye symbol and they say “I don’t get it.” They cannot think of an eye inside of a triangle with rays coming out as having spiritual meaning. Some see it and immediately equate it with "the illuminati" and assume it's a Satanic symbol. It's used subversively by the dark occult, but it isn't inherently dark. It represents the Light of Wisdom, the Divine. It represents what is called the "third eye," or the "one eye" of the divine self in higher consciousness, and connects to a scripture: "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." – Luke 11:34 The "light" is Truth and Wisdom. If your consciousness is single/whole (thoughts, emotions and actions in unity) then you will be filled with that Truth. If consciousness is in duality (thoughts, emotions and actions in contradiction), then your ability to recognize that Truth will be hindered. You'll be in "darkness." Because of the lack of correlational thinking in society, people cannot see what is truly going on around them. The "eye" is not single, but dual, so they only see the theatrics of world events, not the patterns or meaning. Here's a simple example of correlational thinking: Let's establish that Pen = 20, and that Bird + Wheel = 50. And then establish that Pen and Bird are equal to each other. What does Wheel equal? 30. Many people can’t do that because they cannot engage in a simple correlation. If Pen and Bird are equal to each other, and Pen = 20, then Bird must = 20. Plug in that value. 20 + Wheel = 50. Wheel, therefore, must equal 30. If you consider yourself Christian, don't think for a second that you don't need to know this. Correlational thinking is required to link conceptual ideas and understand that words, definitions, and symbols can have varying meaning depending on the context. Your internal mental definition of Christianity is most likely limited to the 3rd Century Constantinian version, and thus you cling onto fixed meanings. That will make it difficult for you to employ such thinking which is necessary to understand the occult, including the original esoteric variant of Christianity that was hijacked and twisted into what is accepted and believed in today. So, you have to detach from that and look at all the information objectively. Another example of correlational thinking is in examining the word "Lucifer." What that word means will vary depending on the context. The word comes from the Latin lux meaning "light" and ferre meaning "to bear; to carry." It is essentially a title rather than a name, but its meaning isn't inherently good or evil. If we're talking about the Dark Occult, then it can have negative meaning. If we're talking about the uplift of human consciousness (or Light Occultism), then it can have a positive meaning. We need to understand the original meaning of words over modern-day variants, but we also need to understand the importance of context. We can't think of words and symbols as having fixed meanings. That's very one-dimensional thinking which only holds us back. An authentic Christian understands that ALL knowledge is neutral, not positive or negative, and that even occult knowledge can be used for good. They will use relational thinking to study it so that they may come to know and understand Natural Law and align their behavior to it. I explain what Natural Law is (and is not) in the next section. Symbol illiteracy combined with the widespread absence of correlative thinking has made it far easier for those who use their knowledge of symbols and archetypes to manipulate behavior at a subconscious level. They can sneak messages in wherever they want and people have no idea what's there, and certainly no idea what is being meant by them. That’s how they do it. That's why understanding occult knowledge is so vital. I will go into more symbolism in a later section.
