The Exoteric (outward, public, easily accessible) Christian Church did everything in its power to eradicate the Esoteric (private, little known) Christian Church. The culmination of this effort was seen in the burning of the library at Alexandria. It is said that the burning lasted six months, such was the volume of literature destroyed.
All that remains of the Christian Church (Mystery School) today is the Exoteric portion. Furthermore, the leadership of the Christian Church has devoted much effort to brand anything Esoteric as “of the Devil” and “Evil”, redefining the very words “Occult” and “Esoteric” as themselves indicative of “Evil” when their true meanings are “hidden” and “little known”. However; it is in the Occult and Esoteric that we find the power. What we have of the Christian Church fits the description of “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof” we are instructed to turn away from.
Through branding the very path to power as evil, the vast majority of man has been effectively conquered. Most of man feels powerless against the “Powers That Be” because the path to the knowledge of our power has been “Forbidden”, and the records of the means to achieve it obliterated.
In recent times, the “Church” has been losing power. People have been catching on to the true nature of the Exoteric church, and have been leaving it in droves. Unfortunately, with man’s built in desire to worship (VMAT2 gene), they have been seeking a different object of their worship. They have substituted things in the physical world rather than looking for an actual “God”. This is a short path to frustration, and you can rest assured that the ones in power will be ready to supply a “God” at the right time to capture the worship of the masses.
Nevertheless, there are a few who seek Gnosis or Knowledge. This is the Occult and Esoteric path.
My journey began with my untimely death at the tender age of nineteen. I was quite literally knocked out of my body. Full physical recovery from the injuries sustained is yet incomplete and unlikely at this stage, as it has been more than four decades.
What I have accomplished since from a spiritual standpoint is interesting to say the least. By smashing my indoctrination to smithereens, I was left with an only partially functional “Logic Barrier” or what I refer to as my “Censor“. It took two decades to construct a fully functioning Censor from the pieces, but I am satisfied with the result today.
One aspect of having to reconstruct my Censor is that I am free to examine things more closely which the ones who are at the top of our “society” would rather we not examine at all. More often than not, those of us who do look at such are branded as insane or evil or both. I have learned however that the things presented as evil are the very things we ought to examine more closely.
It is time to turn away from the acceptance of the evaluations of others and evaluate things on our own. This is of necessity going to require a closer examination of things we used to automatically reject as “evil” due to our individual Censor being constructed by others rather than our own self.
