Bernhard Guenther: The Occult and Initiation

This is about testing the sincerity, commitment, and readiness of the seeker to determine whether they’re truly prepared to be initiated into deeper knowledge and the stages of genuine awakening

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “occult” does not mean evil or negative. The word simply means hidden or concealed.

It comes from the Latin occultare (“to secrete” or “hide”), which is the frequentative of occulere (“to conceal”), rooted in celare (“to hide”).

There are occult Divine spiritual (positive) forces, and there are occult hostile (negative) spiritual forces.

“Occult” just means hidden from ordinary five-sensory perception. It points to the non-physical beings and forces that influence us from behind the veil.

The word has gotten a bad rap lately, often due to paranoid “truthers” oversimplifying it or because of dogmatic religious conditioning.

Most ancient esoteric knowledge was occulted (hidden) for a reason.

It wasn’t always to suppress truth, engage in Black Magic (left-hand path), or keep people in the dark (though that has happened and still happens). Often, it was to protect the seeker, the teachings, and to honor the esoteric principle:

“Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.”

Or, more pointedly:

“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.”

This is about testing the sincerity, commitment, and readiness of the seeker to determine whether they’re truly prepared to be initiated into deeper knowledge and the stages of genuine awakening.

Initiation, in that sense, has nothing to do with rituals, ceremonies, or anything external, as some “secret societies” have hijacked the esoteric meaning of the word, or as others may project into it.

True initiation is an inner process.

It is a trial that reveals whether the seeker is truly ready to cross the threshold, not driven by egoic demands, bargains, or fleeting curiosity, but by a sincere call from the immortal soul longing to unite with the Divine and bring forth the true Self.

Ken Bartle - Excellent Discussion with Mike Adams

Please do watch this discussion which Ken brought to my attention yesterday when he kindly commented on my recent video.

This is important: it addresses Natural Law, values, ideology, the subconscious, AI and more!

Persuading the Constitutionalists to Learn About Natural Law

I have just created a video presentation for those that might not yet (or are reluctant) to get into the subject of Natural Law and the esoteric sciences.

Most who visit this site will enjoy this material, but it will be uncomfortable for some who are new to this. Please do share this video far and wide as these most challenging topics need to be put before the attention of as many as possible.

If you are already familiar with the the Occult body of knowledge and esoteric sciences, then you may find some of the concepts I have raised in this useful for opening discussions!

A Very Important Message from Cory Endrulat

One of My Most Important Messages Yet

Please do watch this and share widely. Some crucial messages in here for 2025. The original title was going to be...

Learn to express your sovereignty or it's game-over.

This is Important and Interesting...

I think by now you can see how AI has progressed to the point where it can be relied upon to give sensible advice, even if it lacks the terrain knowledge of specific courts, judges, or political environments. It allows us to minutely examine the compliance of officialdom to due process, without getting bogged down in matters that they themselves refuse to engage in — such as morality, equity, or constitutionality.  Martin Geddes, Substack: Future of Communications, 27th December 2024

Martin Geddes clarifies some of my recent thoughts about AI potentially being a disaster for the powers-that-shouldn't-be because of its innate ability in reason and logic... and therefore truth!

A Crucial 50-minute Video - Please watch

Can I urge all visitors to this site to watch this video. This is a truly excellent consolidation of some of the most important concepts behind Natural Law and the topics covered by Mark Passio. It's not long - as it says: 'The Most Eye-Opening 50 Minutes of Your Life!':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-kuZgh5lMQ

Please share this widely.

Don't forget, however, to watch Mark Passio's full seminar on Natural Law. This is only a taster!

Dates for October Online Course Published

I have now published the dates for the next online course - which will be the 8th, 9th & 10th October. Full details here:

https://lawandalchemy.mozellosite.com/courses-and-events/item/online-courses/self-governance-earning-our-freedom-october-8th-9th-10th/

For those interested in the deep causes of the increasingly collectivist condition we are witnessing in society, this course is a real eye-opener. This will join a lot of dots for people and cause a greater recognition of one's own sovereignty. This, in turn, leads to more effective and powerful action.

Do join Will, and spread the word to others who may be interested.
