Het complot : het verborgen verhaal achter de Protocollen van de Wijzen van Zion. (Dutch)

De joods-Amerikaanse striptekenaar Will Eisner heeft vele jaren gewerkt aan deze beeldroman over het anti-joodse propagandageschrift de 'Protocollen van de Wijzen van Zion'. Hij heeft dit stripverhaal nog juist voor zijn dood kunnen voltooien. Zijn laatste werk is tevens te zien als zijn testament. Behandeld wordt de geschiedenis van het ontstaan en de verspreiding van de 'Protocollen van de Wijzen van Zion', een vervalsing die omstreeks 1900 op last van de Russische geheime dienst in Parijs werd gemaakt. De Protocollen zouden tijdens een vergadering van joodse leiders zijn opgesteld en bevatten een plan om via een complot de wereldheerschappij te verkrijgen. Maar joden hebben niets met het opstellen van deze tekst te maken gehad, zoals reeds in 1920 werd ontdekt. De Russische geheime dienst wilde met deze tekst de tsaar beïnvloeden. Dat is niet gelukt, maar de Protocollen hebben sinds 1919 de joden overal ter wereld in een kwaad daglicht gesteld, ook nu nog. Prachtig getekend, uitste…

Meditation to align with Shamballah.

The practice of connecting with the highest masters from Shambhala—a legendary realm associated with ascended spiritual beings—requires disciplined meditation techniques that align consciousness with higher vibrational frequencies. This process involves cultivating inner stillness, activating Kundalini energy, and structuring intentional practices that facilitate spiritual communion. Below is an authoritative framework for achieving this connection, supported by evidence from holistic traditions and energy medicine. 1. Foundation: Kundalini Activation Shambhala’s masters exist on an elevated plane of consciousness, and accessing their wisdom necessitates raising one’s own energetic vibration. Kundalini Yoga, described as the "mother of all yogas," is pivotal for this purpose. The practice combines breathwork (pranayama), mantras, mudras, and physical postures (asanas) to awaken dormant Kundalini energy coiled at the base of the spine]. This energy, once activated, ascends through the chakras, purifying blockages and expanding awareness—essential for transcending ordinary perception and attuning to higher-dimensional guidance Chant "Om Mane Padme Hum" (a Tibetan Buddhist mantra) or "Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung" (a Kundalini healing mantra) to resonate with Shambhala’s spiritual hierarchy. Shambhala’s wisdom is accessible only to those aligned with humility and compassion. Swami Muktananda’s teachings stress that spiritual growth thrives on kindness and ego dissolution—prerequisites for authentic connection. Regular meditation (20+ minutes daily) cultivates the mental discipline needed to sustain this alignment . (Source : Mike Adams / https://brightanswers.ai)

Wisdom

"And on the other, so corrupt is our judgment, we esteem wise and honest men fools." "It is a disease of the soul on which I am to treat, and as much appertaining to a divine as to a physician, and who knows not what an agreement there is betwixt these two professions? A good divine either is or ought to be a good physician, a spiritual physician at least, as our Saviour calls himself, and was indeed, Mat. iv. 23; Luke, v. 18; Luke, vii. 8. They differ but in object, the one of the body, the other of the soul, and use divers medicines to cure; one amends animam per corpus, the other corpus per animam as [168]our Regius Professor of physic well informed us in a learned lecture of his not long since. One helps the vices and passions of the soul, anger, lust, desperation, pride, presumption, &c. by applying that spiritual physic; as the other uses proper remedies in bodily diseases. Now this being a common infirmity of body and soul, and such a one that hath as much need of spiritual as a corporal cure, I could not find a fitter task to busy myself about, a more apposite theme, so necessary, so commodious, and generally concerning all sorts of men, that should so equally participate of both, and require a whole physician. A divine in this compound mixed malady can do little alone, a physician in some kinds of melancholy much less, both make an absolute cure. [169]Alterius sic altera poscit opem. ———when in friendship joined A mutual succour in each other find." - The Anatomy of Melancholy

Wisdom by Madonna

"The way we're going to change the world, or the way we're going to ultimately feel joy, is through unity. I'm certainly not encouraging religious behavior; when I say people are thinking in a religious way, I think they're thinking about rules and dogma and laws that separate. When I say spirituality, I mean a consciousness that has an understanding that we are all in this together, that we are all one. We have to find a way to feel joy and to bring joy to the world together. That ultimately is with consciousness, not drugs."

Boodschap van Gabriel Rios

Lieve vrienden, Op 20 september werd Puerto Rico getroffen door een van de gevaarlijkste en meest verwoestende categorie 4-orkanen ooit. Met desastreuze gevolgen. Vandaag is op heel het eiland nog steeds geen water, electriciteit of communicatie. Het was 80 jaar geleden dat Puerto Rico geconfronteerd werd met zo'n ongelooflijke orkaankracht. Een groot deel van de bevolking is alles verloren. De weg naar herstel zal lang en moeilijk zijn, maar ik geloof dat de hartverbindende, krachtige combinatie tussen muziek en mensen Puerto Rico kan helpen om er weer bovenop te komen. Daarvoor schrijf ik jullie aan. Na het concert van deze avond speel ik 30 minuten extra, met enkel traditionele Latijns-Amerikaanse liedjes, maar enkel als jullie me helpen om voor het einde van het concert 1000 euro in te zamelen.Hoe? Er staat bij ieder concert een collectebus, te herkennen aan de Puerto Ricaanse vlag. Bijdrages zijn geheel vrij. Met je gift help je bij de wederopbouw van een land dat echt hulp kan gebruiken. Bedragen die ons boven die 1000 euro brengen, zijn zeer welkom en worden ten zeerste gewaardeerd. Alle opbrengst gaat integraal naar Fundacion Comunitaria de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Community Foundation) en Fundacion HospitalPediatrico (Pediatric Hospital Foundation) die beide medische bijstand en gemeenschapsdiensten bieden over heel het eiland. Ik hoop van harte dat we erin slagen om dit doel te bereiken. Laten we samen muziek veranderen in de noodzakelijke hulp. Jullie hebben alvast mijn eeuwige dankbaarheid. Gabriel Rios.

Yogananda : Autobiografie van een yogi.

Dit is het levensverhaal van Paramahansa Yogananda, die op 5 januari 1893 als Mukunda Lal Ghosh ter wereld kwam. Hij geldt als een der grootste wijzen die India heeft voortgebracht.'Dit document over zijn ongewone leven is zeker een van de onthullendste, in het westen gepubliceerde geschriften over de diepten van het hindoese denken en voelen en de geestelijke rijkdom van India', aldus W.Y. Evans-Wentz in diens voorwoord. De schrijver verhaalt ons zijn jeugd, zijn toetreding tot de Swami-Orde en de lange moeizame weg naar zijn Hogere Bewustzijn. Hij promoveert aan de universiteit van Calcutta, gaat leiding ontvangen van Sri Yoekteswar en heeft ontmoetingen met groten als Gandhi, Tagore en Bose. Deze en veel andere boeiende en levensverdiepende gebeurtenissen en ervaringen worden door hem helder beschreven.Even duidelijk is Yogananda (= 'zaligheid door goddelijke vereniging') in zijn uitleg van de wetten waardoor de yogi's zelfbeheersing bereiken en wonderen volbrengen. En uiteraard lezen we hoe hij twee niet-sektarische, onbaatzuchtige instellingen sticht: de Yogoda Sat-Sanga Society (India) en de Self-Realization Fellowship (Los Angeles). Paramahansa Yogananda overleed op 7 maart 1952.

Messengers & Dispensations of The Great White Lodge

The Great White Lodge releases information to humanity via dispensations delivered by specially chosen “messengers” of The Great White Lodge. Dispensations are released when The Great White Lodge feels humanity is ready for them, and in some cases, when The Great White Lodge feels that humanity has “stalled” and needs a push. In an effort to defeat The Dark Lodge and facilitate the coming New Age, The Great White Lodge is releasing more dispensations to humanity now than in any time in Earth’s history. Past and present messengers of The Great White Lodge include: Madame Blavatsky, Annie Bessant, C.W. Leadbeater, Edgar Cayce, Guy Ballard, Godfre Ray King, Alice Bailey, Dr. M. Doreal,Geraldine Innocente, U.S. Andersen, Mark Prophet, Elizabeth Claire Prophet, Sharula Dux, Aurelia Louise Jones, Dr. Joshua David Stone, and the diligent teamwork of The Great White Lodge--Education Department, Communications Division, and Secret Service Bureau--that jointly bring you The Great White Lodge website

Mahatma's of Meesters

Een mahatma is een persoon die door speciale training en opleiding die hogere vermogens heeft ontwikkeld en zich die spirituele kennis heeft eigen gemaakt die gewone mensen zullen krijgen na in de loop van de kosmische evolutie door talloze reeksen wedergeboorten te zijn gegaan, op voorwaarde natuurlijke dat ze in tussentijd niet tegen de doelstellingen van de natuur ingaan en zo hun eigen vernietiging teweegbrengen. U weet dat er achter de gehele theosofische beweging hoogontwikkelde wezens staan die we 'meesters' of 'mahatma's' noemen. Deze verheven wezens hebben reeds de weg afgelegd die de mensheid als zodanig nog moet gaan. Ze werken als de grote leraren van wijsheid en harmonie. Op dat moment zijn ze actief op de hogere gebieden waarnaar de rest van de mensheid zal opklimmen in de loop van de komende ontwikkelingstijdperken, zogenaamde 'ronden' zal opklimmen op het fysieke gebied werken ze door middel van Boodschappers.

172 En waarlijk, Ons woord aangaande de Boodschappers, is reeds uitgesproken
173 Voorzeker, zij zijn het die geholpen zullen worden
{...}
182 En VREDE zij met de Boodschappers.

Starseeds

Starseeds are people whose previous incarnations were on more advanced planets. Starseeds have volunteered to incarnate on Earth in an effort to help facilitate the spiritual evolution of this planet. Starseeds have great charisma, unusually compelling eyes, a nagging sense of being from somewhere else, an urgent need to find and fulfill their mission, a chronic dull pain in the back of their neck, and chronically congested sinuses (these ailments are caused by a difference in monadic frequency between the Starseeds home planet and Earth). Starseeds also volunteer for these “Foreign Missions” because they earn a ton of Ascension Points for doing so, and thus greatly accelerate their own cosmic evolution as part of the bargain! The Dark Lodge is very much aware of Starseeds and does their best to hinder, block, and disable as many Starseeds as they can. For this reason, Starseeds must face and overcome many more obstacles & challenges than a normal person.

Indigo Children

Highly psychic and spiritually advanced children who have been incarnating over the last few decades to help establish The Seventh Golden Age of Enlightenment on Earth. Many of the Indigos have had a tough time adjusting to Earth life and have been misdiagnosed as Bi-Polar, Manic Depressive, Obsessive Compulsive, Schizophrenic, Delusional, or mentally ill in any number of ways. The Indigos are not mentally ill, just highly advanced beings that often have a tough time “fitting in” and “adjusting” to Earth society. The salvation for these “lost” Indigos is to reject what doctors and society have “labeled” them, own their Indigo status fully and completely, and immerse themselves in helping the Earth transition into The Seventh Golden Age of Enlightenment!

Ascension Process

The ascension process is the sole purpose of life in the cosmos. The purpose of life is to consciously and eternally expand your knowledge, wisdom, power, talent, and light quotient. It is the highest insult to God to remain as you are incarnation after incarnation with no change whatsoever. That is not life, that is death. The ascension process is not so popular on Earth because this is a fallen planet ruled by ignorance and materialism, but even on a fallen planet the spiral staircase of ascension is there for those who have the courage and determination to climb it.

Chemtrails - We from TEAM MICHAEL OPPOSE CHEMTRAILS.

Evil white chemical trails being placed in the skies of Earth regularly by unmarked planes of The Dark Lodge/Illuminati/Secret Government alliance. It is their futile attempt to block special ascension rays the Spiritual Hierarchy is currently sending to Earth to help usher in the coming New Age. The chemical trails use to cause instant cloud clover and rain that blocked the ascension rays, but thanks to counter measures of The Great White Lodge and Spiritual Hierarchy, the chemtrails no longer work. Despite the obvious fact that their evil chemtrails no longer work, The Dark Lodge/Illuminati/Secret Government alliance continue to lay their evil chemtrails in the skies of Earth…frightened spoiled children frantically pushing a button that no longer works.

Here is a list of known cancer cures/preventative measures:

Getting proper sleep Alkaline diet - vegetables/fruits - lemon water every day Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs) Baking Soda/blackstrap molasses/maple syrup IV Vitamin C Meditation and stress reduction therapy Frequency medicine Vit D preferably from the sun Oxygen/Ozone therapy Hydrogen Peroxide (food grade) Colloidal Silver Organic Sulfur (activates Glutathione, the most powerful antioxidant in the body) Selenium Essiac teas Cannabis oil (probably the most potent cure on the planet) Crushed Garlic (let it sit for 15 mins then consume) Chlorella/Spirulina/Wheatgrass juicing/supplementation Earthing/Grounding - standing barefoot on the earth to transfer ions. Being couped up in buildings for years, disconnected from nature is not in service to the natural state of humans. Helps release radiation and restore balance. Grounding mats work great too, for sleeping on. Turmeric (spice) - taken with something fatty like yogourt, or even with black pepper to help increase its potency. Vit B17 - Apricot Kernels/apple seeds. Black salve for skin cancer Oleander Soup fatty type food + Flaxseed oil (Budwig Protocol) Join the teaming millions who know the truth about the criminal health system.

Cancer Conspiracy

A cure for cancer was “discovered” several times during the 20th century. In each case the inventor was murdered and the formula burned. The Illuminati secretly own the medical/pharmaceutical establishment and bilk patients billions of dollars annually on cancer related treatments and cancer related pharmaceuticals. A “cure” for cancer would reduce Illuminati profits in this area dramatically and thus all genuine “cures” for cancer have been historically blocked, suppressed, squashed, debunked, burned, and secretly swept under the rug by the evil Illuminati and their henchmen. Research holistic and alternative treatments when having cancer.

Commander Ashtar

Commander Ashtar is a Christed Extraterrestrial and Cosmic Avatar. He is head of “The Ashtar Command,” which is the mighty and invincible Space Patrol of The Great White Lodge. The Ashtar Command patrols the galaxy and battles The Dark Lodge on a daily basis. Commander Ashtar and The Ashtar Command have saved the Earth from annihilation countless times without the surface race being aware of it. Every person on this planet owes their life to the valor and bravery of The Ashtar Command! You may call upon Commander Ashtar for help, guidance, protection, and training, and he will surely do everything within his power, control, and jurisdiction to help you.

The Hippies

The Hippies of the late 1960’s were the forefathers of the New Age and were dramatically changing the planet for the better. The Dark Lodge/Illuminati/Secret Government alliance saw this change, and feared the Hippies so much, that they countered the “Hippie Movement” by assassinating Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King the same year. These key assassinations caused the Hippie Movement to flutter and fail far short of its original dream. But you cannot defeat a superior ideology. You can only delay it. And the superior ideology of the 1960’s Hippies will become a glorious reality in the coming New Age!

Marihuana

The marijuana plant is not indigenous to Earth. The marijuana plant was a “gift” from the Christed E.T.’s long ago to help Earthlings “experience” God and enlightened transcendental states of consciousness quickly and easily. Years of meditation and holistic living are by far the better and more lasting way to “experience” God and enlightened transcendental states of consciousness, but occasional use of marijuana to “experience” for the first time, or remind yourself, what God and enlightened transcendental states of consciousness feel like, does more good than harm and is wholly endorsed by The Great White Lodge and Spiritual Hierarchy. For reasons that will make perfect sense to you now, The Dark Lodge/Illuminati/Secret Government alliance are the hidden sinister force behind the stamp out pot movement!

On drug addiction. (Hard)-drugs is a BLACK LODGE project in order to destroy people.

Area 51 EXPOSED

Secret underground U.S. military base in the Nevada desert. Area 51 is a rogue military base covertly run by the Illuminati/Secret Government/Dark Lodge alliance. Area 51 is a renegade military base that secretly and illegally uses billions of U.S. tax payer dollars for the development of sinister “Black Projects” of the Illuminati/Secret Government/Dark Lodge alliance, and there are several more of these evil underground military bases in existence besides Area 51. Although the evil technologies of Area 51 are great by your standards, they are childish toys by Ours. Have no fears about Area 51 and the other evil underground bases. God, The Angels, The Ascended Masters, The Nature Spirits, and The Christed Extraterrestrials have (and will continue) to neutralize the “projects” of these evil underground bases one by one—making ALL projects and efforts of these evil underground bases utterly and completely in vain.

Pure teacher in humble integrity - Swami Nardanand Third (Info in Dutch)

http://www.siddhamahayoga.eu/nl/gurus.htm Swami Nardanand zag het levenslicht in 1958 in een klein dorpje in Noord India. Toen hij 10 was ging hij studeren in een traditionele Vedische school, gurukul genaamd. Daar kreeg hij een uitgebreide training in Sanskriet, de verschillende Hindoe denksystemen, yoga etc… Tijdens deze twaalfjarige opleiding, toen hij nog maar 14 jaar oud was, legde hij de geloften van een sannyasin of Hindoe monnik af. Op zijn reizen ontmoette Swamiji veel yogis en wijzen. Uiteindelijk ontmoette hij Swami Shivom Tirth, de meester die hem door Shaktipat te geven inwijdde in de traditie van Siddha Mahayoga. Geïsoleerd van de buitenwereld, teruggetrokken in grotten, diep in de jungle of in heilige plaatsen praktiseerde Swami Nardanand diepe meditatie. Zo vestigde hij zich permanent in een toestand van verhoogd bewustzijn. In 1990 vestigde hij de Siddha Ashram in de heilige stad Ujjain. In zijn Ashram bevindt zich een reusachtige lingam van kwik dat door een alchemistisch proces van vloeibaar naar vast is overgegaan. In de tantras wordt beschreven dat dergelijke lingam helpt om de geest tijdens het mediteren stabiel te maken. Sinds enkele jaren reist hij rond in Europa en Amerika met als doel het geschenk van Shaktipat aan oprechte zoekers door te geven. Zijn lijn van opvolging (parampara) Swamiji is de huidige schakel in een lijn van zelfgerealiseerde Siddha meesters. Al zijn voorgangers staan bekend voor hun zuiverheid, integriteit en hoog niveau van verwerkelijking.

We encourage the scientific research on Kundalini awakening worldwide. The Legacy of Gopi Krishna.

"Gopi Krishna was a pioneer in the land of spirituality. His insights into the quantum nature of the body predates the scientific discoveries of today. I salute this great sage and scientist of the twentieth century." –Deepak Chopra Gopi Krishna is widely recognized as having done more to advance our understanding of Kundalini than anyone else in modern times. He has put this amazing aspect of our nature in a logical, consistent and scientific light, and presented us with a new understanding of the goal of evolution, both as individuals and as a species. Kundalini awakened in him quite forcefully in 1937 after 17 years of intense meditative practice. From that moment onwards, his consciousness was radically altered and over the next 12 years or so, it underwent an even more dramatic transformation to a perennial state. It was Gopi Krishna’s belief that knowledge of Kundalini is essential for the survival of the race, and that with this knowledge we would then begin to explore aspects of creation totally hidden from our view at present. Gopi Krishna was born in 1903, near the city of Srinagar, in the Jammu and Kashmir State in northern India. He spent his earlier years there and later, in Lahore, in the Punjab of British India. At the age of twenty, he returned to Kashmir. During the succeeding years he secured a post in the state government, married and raised a family. Early in his career he became the leader of a social organization that was devoted to helping the disadvantaged in his community, especially with regard to issues concerning the well-being and rights of women. In 1967 he published his first major book in India, Kundalini—The Evolutionary Energy in Man (currently available under the title Living with Kundalini). Shortly thereafter it was published in Great Britain and the United States and has since appeared in eleven major languages. The book presented to the western world for the first time a clear and concise autobiographical account of the phenomenon of the forceful awakening of Kundalini.

The Michaelian Great White Lodge The Great White Lodge has existed since the beginning of time. It is not a new lodge. It is not a made up lodge. It is not an imaginary lodge. And it is not some recent “New Age” catch phrase. Knowledge of The Great White Lodge was lost to the masses of Earth during the recent long Dark Age, during which time The Great White Lodge was known only to a few adepts and chelas working in secret and solitude to preserve the Light and Truth of The Lodge. But now that the Earth is rapidly emerging from the spiritual and intellectual slumbers of the long Dark Age, the knowledge, existence, and understanding of The Great White Lodge is rapidly coming to the masses of Earth once more, never to be lost again!

Lodge of 144 000

We have reached and entered the 11th hour of the Great Change that is taking place on Earth, and the time has come for any and all remaining 144,000 to wipe the sleeping slumbers of half-life from their eyes, smack their forehead to dislodge the dream of materialism, wake up and smell the coffee, roll up their sleeves, put on their Thinking Caps, and be about the Himalayan task of saving this planet! The ignorant masses of Earth will not save the planet. Only the 144,000 Lightworkers can save the planet. But ALL 144,000 Lightworkers MUST assume their post, and assume itNOW! The time for confusion, hesitation, and procrastination are over! There is a planet to save. And We are the One’s who signed-up to save it! ONE member who fails to find and assume his post can jeopardize the entire Mission. If that sounds galactically serious, it is. If you think We are on just another “routine mission,” think again. This is the biggest Mission The Great White Lodge has undertaken in the last 200,000 years. The eyes of the entire Galaxy are upon Us. Watching to see if We succeed or fail. Watching to see if Earth is saved or blown to bits, when the Warriors of Darkness meet the Warriors of Light.

For all helpers in the field of mental health. Buy these books by Dr Stanislav Grof.

From Spiritual Emergency to Healing and Rebirth Increasing numbers of people involved in personal transformation are experiencing spiritual emergencies — crises when the process of growth and change becomes chaotic and overwhelming. Individuals experiencing such episodes may feel that their sense of identity is breaking down, that their old values no longer hold true, and that the very ground beneath their personal realities is radically shifting. In many cases, new realms of mystical and spiritual experience enter their lives suddenly and dramatically, resulting in fear and confusion. They may feel tremendous anxiety, have difficulty coping with their daily lives, jobs, and relationships, and may even fear for their own sanity. Unfortunately, much of modern psychiatry has failed to distinguish these episodes from mental illness. As a result, transformational crises are often suppressed by routine psychiatric care, medication, and even institutionalization. However, there is a new perspective developing among many mental health professionals and those studying spiritual development that views such crises as transformative breakthroughs that can hold tremendous potential for physical and emotional healing. When understood and treated in a supportive manner, spiritual emergencies can become gateways to higher levels of functioning and new ways of being. In this book, foremost psychologists, psychiatrists, and spiritual teachers address the following questions: What is spiritual emergency? What is the relationship between spirituality, “madness,” and healing? What forms does spiritual emergency take? What are the pitfalls — and promises — of spiritual practice? How can people in spiritual emergency be assisted by family, friends, and professionals? This groundbreaking work reveals that within the crisis of spiritual emergency lies the promise of spiritual emergence and renewal. https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Emergency-Personal-Transformation-Consciousness/dp/0874775388 This accessible and comprehensive overview of the work of Stanislav Grof, one of the founders of transpersonal psychology, was specifically written to acquaint newcomers with his work. Serving as a summation of his career and previous works, this entirely new book is the source to introduce Grof's enormous contributions to the fields of psychiatry and psychology, especially his central concept of holotropic experience, where holotropic signifies "moving toward wholeness." Grof maintains that the current basic assumptions and concepts of psychology and psychiatry require a radical revision based on the intensive and systematic research of holotropic experience. He suggests that a radical inner transformation of humanity and a rise to a higher level of consciousness might be humankind's only real hope for the future. https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Future-Consciousness-Transpersonal-Humanistic/dp/0791446220

Reality

The average Earthling has a completely false notion of reality. This is no accident. The Dark Lodge has done everything in their power to sell Earthlings a false reality, and the majority of Earthlings (who are not terribly bright to begin with) swallowed this false reality hook, line, and sinker. And if you explain what “reality” is to the average Earthling, they don’t believe you, think you are completely off your rocker, probably dangerous, and need to be locked up. And it is this “Mass Ignorance” that is the greatest obstacle and threat to the coming New Age. And if this “Mass Ignorance” is not sufficiently raised, and sufficiently raised soon, Cosmic Law 13 will self-activate and there will be wholesale Armageddon on this planet (see Cosmic Law 13). The Great White Lodge and Spiritual Hierarchy will do everything in Their power to prevent the activation of Cosmic Law 13, but We cannot override the “Mass Will” of Earth, and ultimately it is the “Collective Consciousness” of all Earthlings that will determine the fate of this planet.

Dr. Wilhelm Reich

Dr. Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) was a famous psychiatrist who abandoned psychiatry in mid-career to found a new science of natural healing energy he dubbed “Orgone.” Dr. Reich’s tests, research, and clinical studies showed that “Orgone Therapy” cured patients of psychosis, neurosis, cancer, and just about every mental and physical disorder known to man. Orgone Therapy was truly a powerful and natural cure-all therapy. The Illuminati secretly own and control the medical/pharmaceutical establishment and extort trillions of dollars annually from the unsuspecting masses of Earth in the form of “endless pills and treatments” for cancer, disease, and every disorder from A to Z. Dr. Reich’s work and success with “Orgone Therapy” posed a serious threat to Illuminati profits, so the Illuminati did everything in their power to hinder Dr. Reich’s work, and ultimately murdered Dr. Reich by covert lethal injection, which they neatly covered-up and labeled a “heart attack.” But Dr. Reich’s genius and work shall not be in vain. Several of Our members are being “called” inwardly and outwardly to resurrect, restore, revitalize, augment, and improve the “Orgone Therapy” that Dr. Reich began, but was never allowed to finish.

The Illuminati : their time is coming to an end.

The Illuminati “The Illuminati” is the codename for the evil controllers of Earth. The Illuminati are 13 of the world’s richest families and they are evil Dark Lodgers. The 13 Illuminati families obtained their vast wealth entirely by corruption, deception, duplicity, exploitation, force, coercion, and murder. The Illuminati were behind the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and other great men who were trying to change the world for the better. The Illuminati have not fairly earned one penny of their vast fortune, nor would they ever want to. Crime and duplicity are their basic nature, and far more agreeable to them. The 13 Illuminati families have successfully controlled world affairs for hundreds of years and insanely believe that they own the people and resources of this Earth. Don’t worry about The Illuminati. The Illuminati have a date with God’s Army called Armageddon and it is not going to go well for them. NOTE The Name Illuminati is confusing, we mean the 13 Dark Lodge families, not the ENLIGHTENED OR ILLUMINATED ONES.

The Truth behind the JFK Assassination

U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the evil Illuminati/Secret Government alliance. The two front men of Kennedy’s car were in on it and the driver of Kennedy’s car fired the infamous headshot. This explains why Kennedy’s head goes back and to the right at impact. The driver shooting Kennedy in the head is clearly visible in the original film, but the driver is always cropped out of frame by the major television networks which are owned by the Illuminati. See the driver shoot Kennedy by clicking the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge_f4OEsV9I&feature=related Seeing the driver shoot Kennedy is proof positive that The United States of America is secretly owned and controlled by the Illuminati/Secret Government alliance and their henchmen. The Illuminati/Secret Government alliance assassinated JFK for two reasons. 1) In a few weeks, JFK was going to abolish The Illuminati owned “Federal Reserve” and return ownership of The United States of America to the American People. If that happened, the Illuminati would lose control of The United States of America and they would also lose trillions and trillions of dollars as well. 2) Also in a few weeks, JFK was planning to tell the American People the truth about recovered flying saucers and extraterrestrial lifeforms that were being kept secret by The Pentagon and U.S. military.

Shamballa the Greater

Astral Capital of The Great White Lodge on Earth. It hovers over The Gobi Desert on the Astral Plane, and is accessed through a secret astral doorway in The Gobi Desert. Over the centuries countless seekers, priests, monks, adepts, lamas, occultists, scholars, military spies, authors, adventurers, and curiosity seekers alike have tried to find the hidden astral doorway which leads to Shamballa. Those whose light quotient and motives were sufficiently high enough were spiritually guided to the astral doorway by The Knights of Shamballa. Those whose light quotient and motives were low, evil, and/or materialistic were misdirected from finding the astral doorway by the Knights of Shamballa in a similar manner. To give you some idea just how difficult it is to find and enter the astral doorway which leads to Shamballa, Lord Maitreya has stated, “For every two thousand souls who seek Shamballa, only one finds it.”

Cancer Conspiracy

Royal Rife

Royal Rife (1888-1971) was a U.S. inventor who invented a “machine” that cured cancer in the 1930’s. When Rife’s cancer-curing machines began to gain some national exposure, henchmen of The Dark Lodge/Illuminati/Secret Government alliance broke into Rife’s workshop, destroyed all of Rife’s cancer-curing machines, and promised to murder Rife and his wife if Rife made any more cancer-curing “machines” (see Cancer Conspiracy). Thereafter, Rife abandoned his work entirely and lived out his life in complete anonymity.But Rife’s cancer-curing “machines” are destined for a glorious return. Several of Our members are now being “called” inwardly and outwardly to resurrect, build, mass produce, popularize, protect, and defend, the cancer-curing “machines” of Royal Rife.

The Secret Government

Evil factions within The United States and English governments. These evil factions are known by several code names but are generally referred to as “The Secret Government.” The U.S. and English “Secret Governments” are owned and controlled by The Illuminati who control their government agents like puppets on a string and routinely subvert U.S. and English law to achieve their evil ends. (see Illuminati). The U.S. Secret Government was formed in 1913 when The United States Federal Reserve was illegally sold to 13 Illuminati stockholders who have secretly owned and controlled The United States government ever since. The U.S. and English “Secret Governments” are in league and work together as a team. In league with The Illuminati, the “Secret Governments” helped plan and orchestrate 911; AIDS; the Okalahoma City bombing; the JFK, RFK, & MLK assassinations; the false war in Iraq; and countless other diabolical intrigues designed solely to increase their power and wealth. Don’t worry about The Illuminati and The Secret Governments. They have a date with God’s Army called “Armageddon,” and it is not going to go well for them.

Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Starseed and Earth’s greatest inventor. He registered over 1,000 U.S. patents in his lifetime. Tesla’s ideas created or helped to create: alternating current, power generators, radio, television, radar, and all wireless communications that we have in our modern age. Tesla was a man a thousand years ahead of his time. In 1904 Tesla invented a perfect system of Unlimited Clean Free Energy that would have put Power Companies out of business by reducing everyone’s Power bill to zero. The Dark Lodge/Illuminati/Secret Government alliance secretly own and control the Power Industry and saw Tesla as a major threat throughout his life and did everything in their power to block, suppress, debunk, steal, pervert, and ridicule Tesla’s ideas, inventions, and patents. Because of this, Tesla’s name, work, and genius are scarcely known today. But Tesla’s life was not in vain. Several of Our members will be “called” inwardly and outwardly to study, understand, resurrect, and implement all the suppressed patents and inventions of Nikola Tesla, thereby fulfilling the prophesy of Tesla himself who said, “The present is Theirs. The future is Mine.”

Our enemy : the dark lodge.

The Dark Lodge Our cosmic counterpart! The Lodge of evil, greed, corruption, insanity, and megalomania. Sinister architects of false wars, false news, false hope, mass mind control, mass consumerism, mass enslavement, suppressed sciences, global control, and the invisible prison of THE NEW WORLD ORDER. Lucifer and his followers defected from God’s Great White Lodge and formed The Dark Lodge 200,000 years ago. Wherever there is trouble in the galaxy rest assured The Dark Lodge is behind it. Most leaders of Earth have sided with The Dark Lodge (consciously or unconsciously) and that is why conditions on Earth never improve. The Dark Lodge is galaxy wide and consists of Fallen Angels, evil Extraterrestrials, evil Earthlings, evil Elementals, and evil Interdimensional Space/Time entities. Don’t worry about The Dark Lodge. The Dark Lodge is playing “chess” against Almighty God—and they are going to lose big time! YOU can help defeat The Dark Lodge with your prayers. As many of YOU as possible should make the following prayer fervently and often. “Dear God, dear Angels, dear Ascended Masters, dear Nature Spirits, and dear Christed Extraterrestrials, please kindly do everything within your power, control, and jurisdiction to neutralize and eradicate all agents, allies, and plans of The Dark Lodge on Earth fully and completely, now and forever—Amen.” And the following prayer will protect YOU and YOUR FAMILY against all agents and allies of The Dark Lodge, “Dear God, dear Angels, dear Ascended Masters, dear Nature Spirits, and dear Christed Extraterrestrials, please kindly protect and defend me and my family fully and completely from all agents and allies of The Dark Lodge, now and forever—Amen.” The Dark Lodge has attempted to disable this website from its inception. And as you can see, they have failed miserably. As the Sun is stronger than the moon, The Great White Lodge is stronger than The Dark Lodge. Kadoish, kadoish, kadoish, adonai, adonai, sabaoth!

Celestial Yogi's and Capricorn

So our true “I,” our true Ego or Individuality, is one of these Mind-Entities and “The Secret Doctrine” says their exact nature is so mysterious and profound that it can only be barely hinted at and in a somewhat veiled manner. Yet it’s implied that they belong to the spiritual hierarchy that presides over the constellation of Capricorn, Makara in Sanskrit, and that being “celestial Yogis” of long past preceding Manvantaras, they – being impersonal individualities – chose to take upon themselves individual personalities here on Earth in order to help on the whole scheme of planetary and cosmic evolution. - Helena Blavatsky, Secret Doctrine

Boddhisattva Cundi Mantra

namaḥ saptānāṁ samyak-saṁbuddha koṭināṁ
tad-yathā oṁ cale cule cundi svāhā

If one has recited this mantra 100,000 times, one will see in one's dreams Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, voice-hearers, or Pratyekabuddhas, and see oneself vomit black things. For graver sins, one should recite the mantra 200,000 times. Then one will also see in one's dreams Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as well as oneself vomit black things. If one is unable to get such good dreams because of having committed any of the five rebellious acts, one should further recite the mantra 700,000 times. Then one should have these good dreams and even see oneself vomit white things. These are signs of purification, indicating that this person's sins have been expunged. If there are good laymen and laywomen who keep reciting this mantra 800,000 times, their homes will not be ravaged by catastrophes or diseases. Their work will be smooth and harmonious, and others will believe and accept what they say.

For a strong woman that enjoys fans and friends - a peaceful soul

Respect for all visionaries who give hope for the future!

That is to say, a perfected humanity will be a perfect vehicle of the divine Spirit (see the Mercaba of Ezekiel, 1st Chapter). Great is our indebtedness to the Seers who throw out for us flashes of light on the darkness and mystery of human life, where the struggling Spirit within is so often buried in the depths of this mysterious Chaos, thereby making visible the darkness, so that we are enabled to see a few steps of the Way ahead, thus encouraging us to press forward with renewed assurance that the mists and clouds will be dispelled, and we shall in due time enter the fullness of the divine Presence.

Introduction

"All religions are true" - Pope Francis

I'm a student of many spiritual traditions for years. I respect all religions, brotherhoods, sciences and philosophies but recommend everyone to follow their own heart and think for themselves. I'm only a independent student who started to walk this path after many severe crises of health, both mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually which forced me on a spiritual path in order to recover (through yoga, buddhist meditation and shamanism, for instance - combined with complementary Western medicine). Everything I faced during difficult periods in my life knocked my on my knees surrendering to something bigger than ourselves, some call it God, others call it the universe. I don't need followers or readers who don't think for themselves. Truth can be found in the very depths of your own heart - or trough a study of spiritual texts and spiritual practice, for some it can even be found through science. I believe that with wisdom, love and compassion, we can evolve personally and collectively towards happiness and peace, so much needed in todays world, before it might be too late. My greatest influence are Sri Aurobindo's integral yoga, the love of Jesus Christ, the diplomacy of Sri Krishna, the faith of Mohammed and the Compassion of the Buddha. I recommend integral yoga because it keeps us away from the danger of spiritual practice as an excuse to escape the duties and difficulties of everyday life; I try to approach life as a bodhisattva, and am still conquering myself and my personal weaknesses from day to day, with as the main goal of being and remaining a good person in the end. I respect all governments and all parties, I wish love and happiness for every living creature on this beautiful blue planet. Lord Krishna warned us that this Kali Yuga is an epoch that makes it extremely difficult for people with morals and values, but I want to encourage everyone who is reading this not to give up to live for the Good, the True and the Beautiful. The universe always rewards and protects good people, as a result of the law of cause and effect. Keep going and many blessings. Understand that I am only a normal, humble human being. Don't put me on a pedestal, because I want to be equal to my reader. I am a student of life and make mistakes. It is a big mistake when you idealise somebody ... I guess we are all here to learn our karmic lessons and to fulfill our task in society (dharma), as a volunteer or not. There are many ways to the mountain top. Follow your heart and be peace ...

'Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.'

Prophesy by Djwahl Kuhl for the medical profession

"Look for the inner causes of disharmony, rather than the outer ones. It is the inside that governs the outside"

Sri Aurobindo

The work to be done by the medical community :

A readjustment of the medical knowledge of man, resulting in a truer understanding of the physical body, of its treatment, and of its protection, and thus producing a juster apprehension of the laws of health. The aim of the physician will then be to find out what it is in a man's life which is preventing egoic energy from flooding every part of his being; to find out what lines of thought are being indulged in which are causing that inertia of the will aspect which is so conducive to wrongdoing; to ascertain what it is in the emotional body which is affecting the nervous system, and thus obstructing the flow of energy from the love petals of the egoic lotus (via the astral permanent atom) to the astral body, and from thence to the nervous system; to discover what is the hindrance in the etheric body which is preventing the right flow of prana, or of solar vitality to every part of the body.
It is essential that in days to come medical men should realize that disease in the physical body is incidental to wrong internal conditions. This is already being somewhat considered but the whole question will remain but a beautiful theory (even though an incontrovertible one in view of the achievements of mental scientists and of the various faith healers) until the true nature of the ego, its constitution, its powers, and its field of influence are duly apprehended.
This revelation will come when medical men accept this [812] teaching as a working hypothesis, and then begin to note, for instance, the powers of endurance shown by the great souls of the earth, and their capacity to work at high pressure, and to remain practically immune from disease until (at the close of a long life of usefulness) the Ego deliberately chooses to "die-out" of physical existence. It will come when the medical profession concentrates upon preventative action, substituting sunshine, a vegetarian diet, and the application of the laws of magnetic vibration and vitality for the present regimen of drugs and surgical operations. Then will come the time when finer and better human beings will manifest on earth. When also physicians learn the nature of the etheric body, and the work of the spleen as a focal point for pranic emanations, then sound principles and methods will be introduced which will do away with such diseases as tuberculosis, debility, malnutrition and the diseases of the blood and of the kidneys. When doctors comprehend the effect of the emotions upon the nervous system, they will turn their attention to the amelioration of environal conditions, and will study the effects of the emotional currents upon the fluids of the body, and primarily upon the great nerve centers, and the spinal column. When the connection between the dense physical and the subtler bodies is a fact established in medical circles, then will the right treatment of lunacy, of obsessions, and of wrong mental conditions be better comprehended, and the results more successful; finally, when the nature of egoic force, or of energy is studied, and the function of the physical brain as the transmitter of egoic intent is better comprehended, then the coordination of man's entire being will be studied, and illness, debility and disease, will be traced to their just cause, and will be treated through the cause and not just through the effect.
(2) The entire social world of thought will apply itself to the understanding of the emotional nature of [813] humanity, to the group relationships involved, and to the interaction between individuals and other individuals, between groups and other groups. These relationships will be interpreted wisely and broadly and a man will be taught his responsibility to the lesser lives which he ensouls. This will produce a just direction of individual force, and its utilization for the stabilization, the development, and the refining of the substance of the different vehicles. Men will also be taught their definite responsibility under law to their own individual families. This will bring about the protection of the family unit, and its scientific development; it will cause the elimination of marital troubles, and the abolition of abuses of different kinds, so prevalent now in many family circles.
Responsibility to the community in which a man is placed will likewise be emphasized. Men will be taught the true esoteric meaning of citizenship - a citizenship based upon egoic group relations, the law of rebirth, and the real meaning of the law of karma. They will be taught national responsibility, and the place of the community within the nation, and of the nation within the comity of nations. Men will finally be taught their responsibility to the animal kingdom. This will be brought about in three ways:
Man's truer understanding of his own animal nature.
A comprehension of the laws of individualization, and the effect of the influence of the fourth, or human, kingdom upon the third, or animal, kingdom.
The work of an Avatar of a lesser order Who will come in the beginning of the next century to reveal to man his relationship to the third kingdom. His way is being prepared by the many who in these days are developing public interest through the [814] various societies for the benefit and protection of animals, and through the many stories to be found in books and current periodicals.
We are told by H. P. B. (S. D., III, 580.) that the sense of responsibility is one of the first indications of egoic control, and as more and more of the human family come under egoic influence, conditions will be bettered slowly and steadily in every department of life.

Buddha wise warning ... always make your homework by questioning everything

"Do not believe in what you have heard; do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations; do not believe anything because it is rumored and spoken of by many; do not believe merely because the written statements of some old sage are produced; do not believe in conjectures; do not believe in that as a truth to which you have become attached by habit; do not believe merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and is conductive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."- Buddha

Remembering Krishnamurti

"I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.... I do not want to belong to any organization of a spiritual kind; please understand this ... If an organization be created for this purpose, it becomes a crutch, a weakness, a bondage, and must cripple the individual, and prevent him from growing, from establishing his uniqueness, which lies in the discovery for himself of that absolute, unconditioned Truth....

"This is no magnificent deed, because I do not want followers, and I mean this. The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.... For 18 years you have been preparing for this event, for the Coming of the World Teacher. For 18 years you have organized, you have looked for someone who would give a new delight to your hearts and minds ... who would set you free -- and now look what is happening! Consider, reason with yourselves, and discover in what way that belief has made you different ... in what way are you freer, greater, more dangerous to every society which is based on the false and the unessential?...

"You are all depending for your spirituality on someone else, for your happiness on someone else, for your enlightenment on someone else.... You have been accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what is your spiritual status. How childish! Who but yourself can tell you if you are incorruptible?... I desire those, who seek to understand me, to be free ... from the fear of religion, from the fear of salvation, from the fear of spirituality, from the fear of love, from the fear of death, from the fear of life itself.... You can form other organizations and expect someone else. With that I am not concerned, nor with creating new cages, new decorations for those cages. My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free."

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Aurobindo wisdom

'Arise - transcend thyself.
Thou art man & the whole nature of man is
to become more than himself'

Sri Aurobindo

The true basis of education is the study of the human mind -- infant, adolescent and adult.

Sri Aurobindo

"The first principle of teaching is that nothing can be taught". This statement of Sri Aurobindo condenses a whole lot of theories of education and a new form of pedagogy closer to integral approach to education. It puts learning above teaching. It makes learning a self-starting, self propelling process. It redefines the role of the teacher from a mere possessor of information to a facilitator and a guide for the learner.

Interpreting Jihad as an inner war within ourselves.

For IS(IS)

I interpret jihad as the inner struggle between the personality and the soul (Higher Self). It's an INNER WAR for fullfilment with the Supreme Godhead (God, Allah, Jehova, Adonai, Jahwe, Krishna, etcetera), can be found in other religions as well. It shouldn't include a violent outer war. Respecting everyone, both religious or mystical (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, ...) and non-religious [atheistic, agnostic, pagan] must be the goal. I reject all violent wars in the name of religion, all religions must be able to live in peace together, and non-fundamentalistic, respecting other traditions as Sufism as well, as well as other esoteric traditions of all religions, as well as the regular world religions. Stop the wars, Isis. Don't destroy your fellow human beings. We respect you! Peace! Put down the weapons and realise that the war is within, there is no outer enemy. Pray, meditate, and be calm.

There are two commonly accepted meanings of jihad: an inner spiritual struggle and an outer physical struggle.[3] The "greater jihad" is the inner struggle by a believer to fulfill his religious duties.[3][7] This non-violent meaning is stressed by both Muslim[8] and non-Muslim[9] authors. However, there is consensus amongst Islamic scholars that the concept of jihad will always include armed struggle against persecution and oppression.

The name of God (Allah) should never be used in order to hurt other people from other religions, even atheists have the right to live. I believe in a God and their prophets, what Islam calls Allah with His prophet Muhammed, Buddhism calls the teacher Buddha, Hinduism calls Him Krishna, and Christianity calls God's prophet Jesus. They all share the same message: "Love one another, Work for peace. Don't fight, Don't kill, Don't hurt other people. Love God!" Religion should work towards reunion with God without violence, all else is rubbish and misunderstanding of the purpose of religion.

Wisdom

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

Franklin D. Roosevelt Wisdom

There is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic system are simple. They are: Equality of opportunity for youth and others; Jobs for those who can work; Security for those who need it; The ending of the special privileges for the few; The preservation of civil liberties for all; The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living. Franklin D. Roosevelt - thx to brother Hercules Invictus

BRAHMA (Day of) Also known as a 'Kalpa'.

"...one day of Brahma consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas, or ages: Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali. The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Treta-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dvapara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years. In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki Avatara, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again. These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahma, and the same number comprise one night. Brahma lives one hundred of such years and then dies (some versions call it the sleep of Brahma). These hundred years by earth calculations total to 311 trillion and 40 billion earth years. By these calculations the life of Brahma seems fantastic and interminable, but from the viewpoint of eternity it is as brief as a lightning flash."

The Sanskrit text Brahma-vaivarta Purana describes a dialogue between Lord Krishna and the Goddess Ganges. Here, Krishna says that after 5,000 years of Kali Yuga there will be a dawn of a new Golden Age which will last for 10,000 years (Text 50, 59). This can be immediately understood in the context of the Yuga Cycle timeline described here.

Words of Light and Wisdom

“I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed. Only by broadening our perspective, including seeing the world through the eyes of the other, and by educating and improving ourselves we can remove ignorance."

"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."

Mahatma Gandhi

"To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity."

Nelson Mandela

"World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity."

Beyond materialism

"… the great materialistic progress which we have venerated for so long is on the verge of bankruptcy. We can no longer believe that we are born into this world to accumulate wealth and abandon ourselves to mortal pleasures. We see the dangers and realize that we have been exploited for centuries. We were told the twentieth century was the most progressive that the world has ever known, but unfortunately the progression was in the direction of self-destruction.

To avoid a future of war, crime, and bankruptcy, the individual must begin to plan his own destiny, and the best source for the necessary information comes down to us through the writings of the ancients. The greatest knowledge of all time should be available … in a book that would be a monument, not merely a coffin."

- Manly P. Hall in the preface to the diamond jubilee edition of The Secret Teachings of All Ages

New Group of World Servers

The new group of world servers respects all governments and all parties.

Who Are the New Group of World Servers?

They recognize their peers and equals, and know each other when they meet and stand shoulder to shoulder with their fellow workers in the work of salvaging humanity. (1)

Members of the New Group of World Servers encompass all walks of life. They are people of all races, who speak all languages, and practice a wide tolerance ~ embracing all religions, all sciences and all philosophies. Brotherhood and Sisterhood, based on the one Life, is their only creed. (2)

Foremost, they desire to uplift, teach and help others. They are identified by the selflessness of their service to the world and lack of personal ambition, coupled with a willingness to work behind the scenes without recognition.

It is possible that you are a member of this group, which forms the network of Light Workers, a global grid that exists on planet earth, despite any apparent outer plane separation.

The return towards the wisdom of the ancients

We return to the traditions of the ancestors because we see great value in them. Because we know their wisdom can help heal the hole in your heart, the aching in your soul, the pain in our community. We share their wisdom with the prayer that it will stir something deep within you and awaken you to your full potential and your true calling. This world of hurt is always in need of one more healer, one more guide, one more ambassador of Spirit, one more soul who instinctively knows how to mend what society has torn apart."

- James Weeks/Across The King's River

On becoming knowers (the actual meaning of the word occultist).

In large measure, we are “believers” on our way to becoming “knowers” — this to be accomplished to a great extent during the Aquarian Age (which begins, we are told, in the year 2117 and lasting for approximately another 2160 years).

Great Teachers, too, should be trusted as far as we can follow Them through the power of our intuition. If we cannot follow Their thought or suggestions, we may respect what They have said, but still reserve judgment concerning the absoluteness of the truth presented.

We do not become knowers by faith alone, but by deep meditation, close and earnest study and by applying what we have learned. The three pillars of the teaching of this and every other true mystery school are meditation, study and service.

- From Initiation, Human and solar, Alice Bailey

The voice of Socrates

Socrates used to say to those around him that his daimon, his inner monitor, never told him what to do, but always what not to do. (6) This daimon was the 'voice' of the higher ego, which in great men is often very strong in its energy; and in some hypersensitive constitutions may be heard as a 'voice.' It is not really a voice (although that is its effect at times on the physical brain), but rather is an urge from within, manifesting also, perhaps, as flashes of light and inner vision.

From : Spiritual Illumination vs Psychic Illusion, G. De Purucker

True healing

True healing is not a matter of removing symptoms but of discovering why they appear in the first place and how to correct the underlying condition without harming other areas of the body. A holistically-oriented practitioner knows that we can and do heal ourselves and encourages us to assume responsibility for our own health. True health-care practitioners understand that if people continue to live in ways that have led to the imbalanced condition that expresses as poor health, whatever therapy they may be engaged in, they are likely to develop similar or even more serious ailments in the future. Therefore, they stress the need to alter detrimental habits as part of the healing process in conjunction with the appropriate external interventions, if applicable. They are also able to tolerate the healing process’s inherent uncertainty, to honour a patient's emotions while being equally responsive to their own, and to provide the necessary support throughout the process even though the outcome may be death. In fact, the word "doctor" comes from the Latin docere, "to teach", and the word "therapy" comes from the Greek therapeuein, "to attend or assist".

Healing Our Deepest Wounds: The Holotropic Paradigm Shift

Dr. Grof's newest book was published on July 1, 2012, his 81st birthday, as his present to the world. This book is an unprecedented consolidation and focusing of Stan's lifetime work in consciousness research and the application of that work to the individual and collective healing we so desperately need. (276 Pages, 80 black and white pictures.)

"After more than fifty years of intensive study of holotropic states of consciousness, I have come to the conclusion that the theoretical concepts and practical approaches developed by transpersonal psychology, a discipline that is trying to integrate spirituality with the new paradigm emerging in Western science, could help alleviate the crisis we are all facing. These observations suggest that radical psychospiritual transformation of humanity is not only possible, but is already underway.The question is only whether it can be sufficiently fast and extensive to reverse the current self-destructive trend of modern humanity."

What is Sakadagami?

The second stage of enlightenment is that of the Sakadāgāmī (Sanskrit: Sakṛdāgāmin), literally meaning "one who once (sakṛt) comes (āgacchati)". The once-returner will at most return to the human world one more time. Both the stream-enterer and the once-returner have abandoned the first three fetters. The stream-enterer and once-returner are distinguished by the fact that the once-returner has weakened lust, hate, and delusion to a greater degree. The once-returner therefore has fewer than seven rebirths. They may take place in higher planes but will include rebirth in the human world at most only once more. Once-returners do not have only one more rebirth, as the name suggests, for that may not even be said with certainty about the non-returner who can take multiple rebirths in the five "Pure Abodes".

What is an Arhat?

Arhat – (Sk.). "The worthy one", lit., "deserving divine honours". This was the name first given to the Jain and subsequently to the Buddhist holy men initiated into the esoteric mysteries. The Arhat is one who has entered the best and highest path, and is thus emancipated from re-birth. (TG)

For the achievement of true immortality, in other words, for the maintaining of consciousness on all the four planes of existence, and for becoming an Arhat, it is essential to connect, precisely in the physical body, the fourth, fifth, and seventh principles and fuse them in the sixth—Buddhi. All the qualities of the basic energy, being separately transmuted by its fire, must be harmonized and expressed in the highest quality of psychic energy. (LHR I, p 473)

What is proper action?

Action – If an action is small, it needs the help of various handmade objects. But when the action becomes great it can dispense with earthly objects. This is the first touchstone of action. ...
The second quality of action is its mobility. Like a whirlwind of primary matter, a true action must vibrate with possibilities. Only a flight can crown a luminous manifested thought.
The third quality of action is its unexpectedness. Every action which has astounded the minds of the people was the result of an unexpected way of thinking.
The fourth quality of action is its elusiveness. Only this quality protects the action against destructiveness.
The fifth quality of action is its convincingness. As every lightning flash connects our consciousness with the Cosmos, so each action should strike like a flashing sword.
The sixth quality of action is its lawfulness. Only the consciousness of the fundamentals of the world evolution can advance the action immutably.
The seventh quality of action is its pure motive. By this path one can move weighty loads without fatigue. (LMG II, p 197)

What is a Mahatma?

Mahatma – (Sk.). Lit., "Great soul". An adept of the highest order. Exalted beings who, having attained to the mastery over their lower principles are thus living unimpeded by the "man of the flesh", and are in possession of knowledge and power commensurate with the stage they have reached in their spiritual evolution. (TG)

Do not forget that the Mahatmas of the Brotherhood include those Seven Greatest Spirits who, at the end of the third race, came to Earth from the higher planets for the acceleration of our evolution. (LHR I, p 452)

"Mahatma" denotes a great soul which encompasses the manifestations of the New World. (COM, 164)

Each Mahatma began his ascent from the very midst of people, having only dared to choose the difficult path of the Great Soul. And, besides daring, he found in his heart indignation of spirit, for how else can the fires be kindled? Upon these fires the precious substance of the secretions is transmuted into a healing substance. One can see how the saliva of a fiery being can remove an inflammation and restore the vital energy to numb centers. Alongside the sacred property of secretions stands the healing power of the laying on of hands. It is instructive to compare the secretions of men having dormant centers with the ejection of the fiery substance. If I advise medicines made from plants for common organisms, then for the more knowing ones there is a powerful laboratory of sacred fiery secretions. (HIER, 304)

Mahatma Letters – These letters, first published in 1923, were written between the years 1880 and 1884 to A. P. Sinnett, English Civil Servant in Simla, India by two Eastern Mahatmas of Tibet whom H.P. Blavatsky had acknowledged as her
Teachers and the inspirers of her Isis Unveiled and Secret Doctrine. (ML, Fly Leaf)

Being spiritual with a scientific approach is what I mean with being an occultist ...

“The seeker after truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them," the first scientist wrote, "but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration and not the sayings of human beings whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of of its content, attack it from every side. he should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency.”

― Ibn al-Haytham

Spiritual Emergency: When Personal Transformation Becomes a Crisis (New Consciousness Readers)

By Dr. Stanislav Grof

From Spiritual Emergency to Healing and Rebirth

Increasing numbers of people involved in personal transformation are experiencing spiritual emergencies — crises when the process of growth and change becomes chaotic and overwhelming. Individuals experiencing such episodes may feel that their sense of identity is breaking down, that their old values no longer hold true, and that the very ground beneath their personal realities is radically shifting. In many cases, new realms of mystical and spiritual experience enter their lives suddenly and dramatically, resulting in fear and confusion. They may feel tremendous anxiety, have difficulty coping with their daily lives, jobs, and relationships, and may even fear for their own sanity.

Unfortunately, much of modern psychiatry has failed to distinguish these episodes from mental illness. As a result, transformational crises are often suppressed by routine psychiatric care, medication, and even institutionalization.

However, there is a new perspective developing among many mental health professionals and those studying spiritual development that views such crises as transformative breakthroughs that can hold tremendous potential for physical and emotional healing. When understood and treated in a supportive manner, spiritual emergencies can become gateways to higher levels of functioning and new ways of being.

In this book, foremost psychologists, psychiatrists, and spiritual teachers address the following questions: What is spiritual emergency? What is the relationship between spirituality, “madness,” and healing? What forms does spiritual emergency take? What are the pitfalls — and promises — of spiritual practice? How can people in spiritual emergency be assisted by family, friends, and professionals?

This groundbreaking work reveals that within the crisis of spiritual emergency lies the promise of spiritual emergence and renewal.

Modern psychiatry and its new inquisition

Where in the middle ages, the Church killed many so-called witches and heretics, modern day psychiatry tends to do the same with the so-called mentally ill. People who hear voices were persecuted by the Inquisition, today they are drugged, locked up against their wills and labeled insane.

All great mystics and sages throughout the ages knew that sensitive people can sometimes hear a voice, just as Sri Aurobindo, the great yogi and visionary from India always heared a voice who guided him through his journey. Our psychiatric hospitals are filled with people who are so sensitive that they become overwhelmed by strange experiences who often tend to be paranormal or mystical in a sense. Could it be that modern day science does the same with these lost mystics, as the Inquisition did with the medieval witches?

The Manufacture of Madness: A Comparative Study of the Inquisition and the Mental Health Movement

"It is possible to undergo a profound crisis involving non-ordinary experiences and to perceive it as pathological or psychiatric when in fact it may be more accurately and beneficially defined as a spiritual emergency." -- Stanislav Grof

Bodhisattva

(Sanskrit) A compound word: literally "he whose essence (sattva) has become intelligence (bodhi)." As explained exoterically, a bodhisattva means one who in another incarnation or in a few more incarnations will become a buddha. A bodhisattva from the standpoint of the occult teachings is more than that. When a man, a human being, has reached the state where his ego becomes conscious, fully so, of its inner divinity, becomes clothed with the buddhic ray — where, so to say, the personal man has put on the garments of inner immortality in actuality, on this earth, here and now — that man is a bodhisattva. His higher principles have nearly reached nirvana. When they do so finally, such a man is a buddha, a human buddha, a manushya-buddha. Obviously, if such a bodhisattva were to reincarnate, in the next incarnation or in a very few future incarnations thereafter, he would be a manushya-buddha. A buddha, in the esoteric teaching, is one whose higher principles can learn nothing more. They have reached nirvana and remain there; but the spiritually awakened personal man, the bodhisattva, the person made semi-divine to use popular language, instead of choosing his reward in the nirvana of a less degree, remains on earth out of pity and compassion for inferior beings, and becomes what is called a nirmanakaya. In a very mystical part of the esoteric philosophy, a bodhisattva is the representative on earth of a dhyani-buddha or celestial buddha — in other words, one who has become an incarnation or expression of his own divine monad.

***

Comprises two concepts: Bodhi—enlightenment or awakening, and Sattva—the essence. Bodhisattvas were the disciples of Buddhas, who voluntarily renounced their personal liberation and, following the example of their Teacher, entered upon a long, weary, thorny path of help to humanity. Such Boddhisattvas appear on earth in the midst of the most varying conditions of life. They possess the qualities of the maximum development of energy, courage, patience, constancy of striving and fearlessness. There are three joys of Bodhisattvas: the joy of giving, the joy of helping and the joy of eternal perception. Patience, always, in all, and everywhere. The Sons of Budda, the Sons of Conquerors, Bodhisattvas in their active compassion are the Mothers to the all-existing. From among their number came the founders of the great kingdoms, great religions and philosophies, many alchemists and several saints. (LHR I, pp 365-366)

A self-sacrificing, compassionate helper of humanity. ... Physically indistinguishable in any way from the rest of humanity, they nevertheless differ completely in their psychology, constantly being the heralds of the principle of the common welfare ... What qualities must a Bodhisattva possess? In the Teaching of Gotama Buddha and in the Teaching of Bodhisattva Maitreya, given by Him to Asanga, according to tradition in the fourth century, the maximum development of energy, courage, patience, constancy of striving and fearlessness were first of all underlined. Energy is the basis of everything, as it alone contains all possibilities. Buddhas are eternally in action; immobility is unknown to Them. Like the eternal motion in space, the actions of the Sons of Conquerors manifest in the worlds. (LHR I, pp 365-366)

Indigo Children

Indigo Children are here to raise the consciousness of the planet. They falsely have been accused of mental illness but now finally since 2016 they can take their power back, refuse repression from the medical establishment and shine their light on earth as light bringers without accepting even for one moment a diagnosis of any kind. They are spiritual beings, yogis, mystics, occultist, clairvoyants and holy men and women. The pharmaceutical industry is being exposed by the day, as well as the medical establishment. Our time has come. Finally, after years of living a double-life! kristo

Messengers of The Great White Lodge

Lodge of 144 000

Lodge of the 144,000 The Book of Revelations and The Emerald Tablets both predict and forecast the incarnation and arrival of 144,000 Lightworkers who will save Earth from the “Forces of Darkness” during the END TIMES of the Kali Yuga. Most of the 144,000 Lightworkers are now here and in the process of “Waking Up” to their Divine purpose and mission on Earth. The majority of the 144,000 are advanced incarnated Starseeds from more advanced planets, although some of the 144,000 are advanced local souls of Earth. Most of the 144,000 are now in the process of “Waking Up” and coming out of their long mental and spiritual hibernation, slowly but surely realizing that they are here to assist in the great transformation of Earth. The Cellular Memories of the 144,000 were programmed, timed, and triggered to “go off” at this time and awaken them to their true identity, mission, and purpose for incarnating on Earth at this most crucial time in Earth’s history. We have reached and entered the 11th hour of the Great Change that is taking place on Earth, and the time has come for any and all remaining 144,000 to wipe the sleeping slumbers of half-life from their eyes, smack their forehead to dislodge the dream of materialism, wake up and smell the coffee, roll up their sleeves, put on their Thinking Caps, and be about the Himalayan task of saving this planet! The ignorant masses of Earth will not save the planet. Only the 144,000 Lightworkers can save the planet. But ALL 144,000 Lightworkers MUST assume their post, and assume itNOW! The time for confusion, hesitation, and procrastination are over! There is a planet to save. And We are the One’s who signed-up to save it! ONE member who fails to find and assume his post can jeopardize the entire Mission. If that sounds galactically serious, it is. If you think We are on just another “routine mission,” think again. This is the biggest Mission The Great White Lodge has undertaken in the last 200,000 years. The eyes of the entire Galaxy are upon Us. Watching to see if We succeed or fail. Watching to see if Earth is saved or blown to bits, when the Warriors of Darkness meet the Warriors of Light.

New World Order

The New World Order has been in the works for many years. The New World Order is the ultimate plan of The Dark Lodge, The Illuminati, and The Secret Government for complete global control. Under the false guise of “Peace” and “Global Unification,” The New World Order is really designed and meant to be an invisible prison where the citizens of Earth are slaves, pawns, and puppets of the evil New World Order hierarchy. Only God’s Army will be able to put a stop to the malevolent plans of The New World Order—and that God’s Army will do in the great battle of Armageddon!

Money

None of the Christed planets have a monetary system. You will only find a monetary system on a fallen Luciferian planet such as Earth. The monetary system of Earth was jointly designed and created by The Dark Lodge and The Illuminati to better control and enslave the people of Earth. And as you can see their evil plan has worked quite well. Nearly all of humanity is a slave to money and nearly all of humanity puts money first above all other things—including our beloved God. Everything about the monetary system of Earth is completely evil and unfair. The system itself is designed to keep the rich rich, the poor poor, and the middle class middle class. However, the reign of The Dark Lodge and The Illuminati is rapidly coming to a close, and as The Dark Lodge and The Illuminati disappear from this Earth forever, the evil monetary system they created will disappear from Earth as well.
