After Seven eternities time began. The One became three: The Sun, The Earth and Saturn.

“The causes of existence. The chief of which is the desire to exist, an outcome of nidana and maya. This desire for a sentient life shows itself in everything from an atom to a sun and is a reflection of the divine thought propelled into objective existence into a law that the universe should exist.”

-The Secret Doctrine

“The Mother Goddess was attacked by a searing dry wind that almost extinguished the potential for life altogether. To a human eye it would have looked as if the gently interweaving mists that had first emanated from the mind of God were suddenly overtaken by a second emanation. There was a violent storm like some rare and spectacular phenomenon observed by astronomers - the death of a star perhaps - except that here in the beginning it would have been on a completely overwhelming scale that filled the entire universe. So this is what it would have looked like to a physical eye, but to the eye of the imagination this great cloud of mist and the terrible storm that attacked it can be seen to cloak two gigantic phantoms.”

“Thirty-three is the rhythm of the vegetative realm of the cosmos, the dimension that controls interactions between the spirit worlds and the material world. The closest to an explicit reference to it in exoteric literature comes perhaps in OVi’s Metamorphoses, where the murdered Caesar’s spirit is described exiting by his thirty-three wounds. The secret of thirty-three refers to the number of gateways by which the human spirit may travel between the material world and the spirit worlds. Practical knowledge of these pathways is known only to initiates of the highest level, because it enables them to slip unobtrusively in and out of the material realm.”

“In the spiritual ecology of the cosmos Lucifer is a necessary evil both in this life- because without Lucifer humans could feel no desire - and in the afterlife. Without Lucifer the spirit would be plunged into totally darkness and fail to understand the ascent.”

“Then one day, he says a monster emerged on the seashore, an animal called Oannes ‘…Whose whole body was that of a fish: under the fish’s head he had another head with feet also below similar to those of a man, subjoined to the fish’s tail. His voice and language were articulate and human; and representation of him is preserved even to this day …”

“This monster was accustomed to pass the day among men, but took no food then; and he gave them an insight into letters and sciences and arts of every kind. He taught them to construct cities, to found temples, to compile laws, and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made them distinguish the seeds of the earth and showed them how to collect fruits; in short, he instructed them in everything which could soften manners and humanize their lives … “

“And when the sun had set this being Oannes retired again into the sea, and passed the night in the sea, for he was amphibious…”

“After this appeared other animals like Oannes.”

Epidemic

ALFRED KUBIN, 1900 – 1901

“The beginning of death was the birth of thought.”

“According to the secret doctrine, there is a fundamental opposition between life and thought. The life processes in humans - digestion, respiration, and the processes of growing, for example - are largely unconscious. The conscious, thoughtful capacity of humans is only made possible by a partial suppression of these life processes. The human organism ‘steals’ forces which in animals are used for growth and biological structuring, and channels them to create the conditions necessary for thought. It is said that this is one of the reason why humans are, comparatively, sickly animals”

“Human thought is a deadly process, restricting both growth and longevity.”

“The world of cut stone, carved wood, of royal robes and flesh and blood as ‘Outworld’. He intended to be a bit disparaging. He knew that the inner world, accessible to the Third Eye, is the real one, and in the midst of the bloody, painful, death-drenched world in which the followers of Osiris now found themselves, this is what they clung on to.”

-The Secret History of the World

“Without the presence of the greater gods to keep them down, the crab-like progeny of Saturn that had been imprisoned in underground caves, began to creep up into the daylight again, infesting the surface of the earth and preying on humankind. Sea monsters leapt onto the shore to drag off members of a tribe that strayed too close. Giants carried off cattle and sometimes preyed on human flesh too.”

“Full-scale wars took place between humans and armies of other creatures, stragglers from the previous epoch.”

“...hard on the heels of the possibility of death had come the possibility of killing, of murder. Cut us and we would bleed. Cut us hard or often enough and we would die. Some humans began to delight in this. The Book of Enoch describes how the surface of the earth became covered with warring armies, and saying that ‘human flesh itself had become perverse.’”

The Flood:

‘Aztlan… the land in the middle of the water’. Sometimes this land was called ‘Aztlan of the Seven Caves.”

“The Seven Wise Ones, or the Rishis.”

“The lotus in India, is the symbol of prolific earth, and what is more, of Mount Meru.”

“And the name for the water of the Flood is Mabbul.”

“the shadowy power of prayer, premonitions, the feeling of being stared at, evidence for mind-reading, out-of-body experiences, meaningful coincidences and other things swept under the carpet by modern science.”

“or it happens that someone decides against boarding a plane, which then crashes.”

“a deep patter of meaning hidden behind the muddle of the everyday experience.”

“...they also practiced bizarre extremes of mortification and debauchery, as a way of disrupting their own, despised bodily senses and gaining access to the spirit worlds. Some encouraged snakes to crawl over their naked bodies, some drank menstrual blood., saying ‘Here is the blood of Christ’, god-like creatures. Others castrated themselves and boasted, ‘I am deader than you are.”

“They experienced life as meaningful and the cosmos as meant. They believed, then, that something like human qualities, indeed something like human consciousness, is built into the structure of the cosmos.”

“Pythagoras attracted murderous rage from those excluded from his inner circle. He refused to admit a man called Cyron into his Mystery school, because of his reckless, imperious behavior. Cryon stirred up a mob against Pythagoras. They broke into the building where Pythagoras and his followers were meeting and set fire to it. Everyone inside died.”

“Jesus Christ created the interior life.”

“A sense of individual identity, what we today , what we today sometimes call the Ego. But without the intervention of the Sun god, the ego would have been a small, hard, self-centered point operating in isolation, intent only on its own immediate gratification, open to no outside interests other than the very lowest. Every human being would have been at war with every other human being. No individual would have any sense at all of any other independent center of consciousness.”

“Again we see that the vegetative dimension of the cosmos is the focus of esoteric thought. In Plato’s philosophy it is the soul, the mediator between the material body and the animal spirit. If we are to leave behind the material world and enter the spirit worlds, this vegetable dimension must be the subject of our Work.”

“Socrates sometimes spoke of his daemon, meaning a good spirit who guided him through life.”

“This voice was his higher self. One of the great aims of the process of initiation he found himself undertaking, was to so alter his consciousness that he would be able to hear this voice all the time.”

“They were also shamanistically calling on the group souls of carnivores, the wolves and the bears, to enter into them and give them supernatural powers.”

“The word ‘shaman’ comes from the Tungus-Mongol noun meaning ‘one who knows.”

“Archaic techniques of ecstasy - to work themselves into a trance state; rhythmic drumming and dancing, hyperventilation. Frenzied self mutilation, sensory deprivation, dehydration, sleep deprivation - and also psychoactive plants, including ayahuasca, peyote cactus, the ergot fungus.”

“A miraculous mechanical garden made out of precious metals and containing mechanical birds that flew and sang. In the middle of it stood a great golden tree, bearing fruit made out of astonishingly large precious stones and representing planets. To many these prodigies seemed necromantic. They existed on the border between magic and science.” (the necromancers)

“Born in 724 Charlemagne inherited the spear of Longinus, used to pierce the side of Jesus Crist on the cross. Charlemagne lived and slept with the spear, believing it gave him powers to foresee the future and forge his own destiny. (Charlemange and the spear of Longinus)”

“the fact that the head of the catholic church was first initiated into the spirit realm under the aegis of a secret society is perhaps not as shocking as it once was because science has taken over from religion as the main agent of social control.”

Dante’s Inferno

“At the beginning of the Commedia, Dante describes how in middle age he found himself lost in a gloomy wood, where he was met by Vigil, one of the great initiates of the ancient world.”
“Vigil takes Dante through a portal with the words Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here written over it.”

“The realm of shades.”

“The judge of the dead.”

“The minareted city of Dis, encounter the three Furies and the Minotaur. They walk the Banks of the Lake of Blood in which the Wood of the Harpies and the burning plain of sand. They meet a famous Scottish wizard, Michael Scott, nimrod and finally, in the deepest rung of Hell, Dante sees what he first takes to be a windmill. It is really Lucifer’s wings.”

“Because they know the secrets of nature and could command disembodied beings, they could exert their will magically, which they did mostly for the sake of performing healing miracles. They could read minds, understand all languages, even project living images of themselves over great distances and communicate audibly over great distances. They could also make themselves invisible.”

“Fama Fraternitatis or Rumour of the Brotherhood’”

“Confession Fraternitatis, told the story of CRC (Christian Rosencreytz) the founder of the brotherhood, gave an account of the rules he instituted and also revealed that his tomb had been discovered in 1604.”

“A door had been uncovered underneath an alter leading down to a crypt. The door carried an inscription ‘After one hundred and twenty years I shall be opened.’ Down below was a seven-sided mausoleum, each side being eight feet high with an artificial sun suspended in the middle above a circular table. Underneath this table lay the uncorrupted body of CRC, surrounded by books, including the Bible a text by Paracelsus, and the body was clutching a rolled scroll, which bore the words ‘Out of God we are born, We die in Jesus, We will be reborn through the holy Spirit.’”

“Alchemy, like the Cabala, is a very broad church. If there is one great mysterious ‘Work’, it is approached via a remarkable variety of codes and symbols. In some cases the Work involves sulpher, mercury, and salt, in others roses, stars, the philosopher’s stone, salamanders, toads, crows, nets, the marriage bed and astrological symbols, such as the fish and the lion.”

“In early Arab texts the Work involves manipulation of the same Four Elements, but in European alchemy, rooted in the Middle Ages and flowering in the seventeenth century, a mysterious fifth element, the Quintessence, comes to the fore,”

“Freemasonry has always presented a straight face to the world. The anglo-saxon lodges in particular have been coy about their esoteric origins. The notion that Freemasons at sufficiently high level of initiation are taught the secret doctrine and history of the world outlined in this book might seem implausible, even to many Freemasons.”

“But modern speculative Freemasory is dated by its official historians to the seventeenth century.”

“It’s sometimes claimed that the first recorded case of initiation into FreeMasonry was that in 1664 of the celebrated antiquity and collector and founder member of the royal society, Elias Ashmole, He was certainly on off the earlier english freemasons and very influential.”

“It is an avowed account of initiation, in which the candidate descends into the volcanic bowels of the earth, and passes the night there, At dawn he climbs out of his underground chamber, following a star. He is freed of his material body and flies up to the planets, where he meets ‘the old man of the palace.” In the palace he sleeps for seven days and when he wales, his robe is changed to beautiful scintillating green. Then there is a strange passage in which he sees a bird with a butterfly wings and knows he must catch it. He drives a steel nail through it’s wings, so that it is pinned down, but its eyes grow brighter. Finally, in a hall with a beautiful, naked woman, he stabs the sun with his sword. The sun shatters into dust and each atom of dust becomes a sun in itself. The Work is completed. This depiction of a portal is by Paolo Veronese, believed by Theosophists to be an incarnation of on of the Hidden Masters.”

“The seized writings revealed that the ancient wisdom and the secret supernatural powers promulgated within the Illuminati had always been a cynical invention and a fraud. An aspirant progressed through the grades only to discover that the spiritual elements in the teachings were merely a smokescreen. Spirituality was derided, spat upon. Jesus Christ’s teachings, it was said, were really purely political in content, calling for the abolition of all property, of the institution of marriage and all family ties, all religion. The aim of Weishaupt and his co-conspirators was to set up a society run on purely materialistic grounds, a revolutionary new society- and the place where they would test their theories, they had decided, would be France.”

“Finally it was whispered in the candidate’s ear that the ultimate secret is that there is no secret.”

“...in concealment lies a great part of our strength. For this reason we must cover ourselves in the name of another society. The lodgers that are under Freemasory are the most suitable cloak for our high purpose.”

“The second half of the nineteenth century reveals a terrible darkening, a spiritual crisis. If materialist history explains this crisis as ‘alienation’ esoteric history sees a spiritual crisis. In other words it sees a crisis caused by spirits - or more particularly by demons.”

“The end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with Many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate.”

“For in the last days the false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied and the sheep shall be turned to wolves and love shall change to hate, For as the lawlessness increaseth they shall hate one another and persecute and betray, and then shall appear the deceiver of the world as a Son of God.”
