Forbidden Knowledge 

(or Heathenish Superstitions?)

        "In the Egyptian Mysteries the Neophyte was taught that when the physical aspect of man's conscious state is inhibited, or made dormant, or suspended by accident, injury, poison, or other causes, he is then in that unconscious state where his Spiritual Consciousness rules, and he experiences the sensation of the Fourth Dimension, wherein Immortality reigns." 

        "Today, by the aid of astronomy, psychology, psychoanalysis, physiology, comparative religion, comparative mythology, and all the other branches of learning that concern "man's relation to the Universe", we are finding the road that leads on to the profound mysteries of Ancient Science. We are discovering that Matter is condensed Spiritual Substance, and that the body is literally the Temple of Man. Hence, it is our primary duty to learn how to keep our body healthy and vigorous, that it may be a fit Temple in which to deify Man."

        "Birth and Death are two deluding aspects of the same thing. Physical birth may be termed spiritual death, and spiritual birth is regarded as physical death. For due to false teaching, man is never more spiritually dead man when physically alive.

        The condensation of the spirit builds the body that appears to be born; and the animating spirit that leaves the body and reunites with the Divine Essence, appear to die. These appearances are misleading illusions. We reason from what we THINK we see, and say that man dies, or the Sun rises -- whereas man only appears to die, and the Sun only appears to rise.

        Birth into the physical world may be termed death as we leave the spiritual world, the Kingdom of Heaven. What we term death in the physical world is actually birth in the spiritual world as we pass on to that glorious Future Life. Creative processes move in cycles."

                    --- Hilton Hotema (Book - Cosmic Science of the Ancient Masters, 1960)

     

        There appears to be too much truth in above statements. Such books are not easily available. They are either suppressed, ridiculed, banned or heavily censored. I happened to come across this author and his books while researching on how to be in good health. I have had few health problems and needed to know what I was dealing with. I browsed through many books but the book - "Man's higher consciousness" completely baffled me. Any normal person may find the book very preposterous! However, I am open to any new idea or concept. This is because I spent a lot on medical tests and doctors. But they could not diagnose my problem. Hence, I turned to alternative medicines and therapies. I read a lot and came across Hilton Hotema's books. It's contents resonates with me and I feel that he had many truths to tell. Besides health, he wrote on many occult topics. Such material is very hard to find. It seems old and ancient knowledge have been rubbished as "heathenish superstitions". But why should they not be available? Reader knows wiser. Books like "The end of all evil", "The most dangerous superstition", "Animal Farm", "1984", books by Hilton Hotema, etc. are eye openers and must be read by all.

        Have we been programmed with propaganda? Have we been fed lies about many things? Or more true, have we been denied alternative knowledge? The answer appears to be YES. For an inquisitive mind questions like - "Who are we?", "Where did we come from?", "What are we doing here?", "Nature of the reality and one's existence" etc. continuously nag. Such question doesn't bother a materialist however. He is stuck in the complexity and cobwebs of the physical world because he believes that it is all there is. So a living creature is merely complex interactions of atoms, molecules, chemicals in motion and it has no existence when it dies. Such questions may not have much relevance and usefulness in the utilitarian world that has been created, but many people have a feeling that there is something more than physical world and beyond death.  

        The quest to know answers to such questions leads to many truths and exciting revelations. Though modern science considers it as wishful thinking, personal delusions and superstitions, but it's pursuit leads to spiritual awakening and one becomes clearer in his beliefs. It leads to complete change of one's outlook and life. Life feels more pleasant, fulfilling and peaceful compared to stressful, cut-throat competitive and rat race which is the modern materialistic world. 

    If you have experienced a spiritual awakening, you have come to see through the lies and illusions of this world. Deep in your soul, you realize that nothing external has ever, and can ever, bring you true happiness or fulfillment. This profound realization leaves you craving for something richer, more fulfilling, and something that will make you feel whole once again. When we undergo a spiritual awakening, we literally “wake up” to life. We begin to question our old beliefs, habits, and social conditioning, and see that there is much more to life than what we have been taught. 

    Thoughts, ideas and answers starts to trickle to our minds about everything. Answers and concepts that are thought provoking. Most of which are against the norms of society in general (what we have been taught). Ideas or concept like religion, leadership, authority, democracy, socialism, nationalism or any -isms, , constitution, laws etc. fell flat in light of the knowledge that trickles to the mind. Vices like greed, envy, arrogance, dishonesty etc. fades and we feel one with everyone and everything.  Without experiencing a spiritual awakening, we go throughout life pursuing the emptiness of money, fame, power, and respect in an attempt to find “happiness.” While the spiritual awakening process can feel painful and disturbing at first, it ultimately helps you to live a more meaningful life. The sensation that your life doesn’t make sense anymore is the product of having all of your former beliefs, desires, and paradigms challenged and often disproven. This is traumatic, but a necessary part of your awakening. 

    I started to find flaws in everything that were taught since childhood days. It looked like everything is like a made-up story to kill the curiosity of any general human being. Most are outright lies. Why can't truth be told to masses? People are intelligent. They can handle it. There is a famous dialogue in the movie Men in Black (the first one) where the actor Tommy Lee Jones tells Will Smith when Will asks the same question. He says, "A person is smart, but people are not." It is correct because people have been told lies, fed propaganda and programmed to act in certain ways. That's what society, television, movies, media or any structure of modern society does. They have conditioned people into mindless robots going about, doing their jobs, consuming things, entertaining themselves but never asking right questions. They have been programmed into thinking about what constitutes a good life, how a person should behave and what he should do to become "successful". They believe everything that are told to them by some authority figures. They have leaders in each field to do all the thinking for them and they just need to carry on their lives as conditioned by the social structures. All questions have been answered and hence no independent thinking is required. They have been intentionally made economically weak so that they spend their whole life toiling hard to earn a living. Hence, no time to think and ask questions. Despicable social engineering.

    What is the greatest fear people have? In most cases, it is death. But death is spiritual birth. Ancient Masters taught that. It is transition to the spiritual world. There is nothing to fear about it. But that fear has been made a tool to intimidate people and force them to submit to the will of an authority. When people don't fear anything they can't be enslaved. No fear, no intimidation, no slavery. 

    What brings happiness? Money is a means to fulfil desires. But happiness has to come from within. Deep in your soul, you realize that nothing external has ever, and can ever, bring you true happiness or fulfillment. True happiness comes only when your conscience is clear and your mind is at peace. Devoid of any regrets. Honesty and simplicity are means to keep your conscience clean. Complexity and obscurity are the tools of evil for deception. Truth is always simple. The present world has been made complex and people have been deceived about most things. No wonder most are spiritually dead. Their thoughts are not their own and they do whatever authority (society, governments, etc.) tells them to do. They create a false perception about themselves and want to be perceived in that way. They like to be in an opinion of majority. They want to play safe. They go along with the flow. Thus, they reinforce the system.
