Occult Knowledge (Part 2)

The lower occult is external more personality centered, while the deeper occult is internal, necessitating Soul alignment. Both apply 5th Ray and 7th Ray in the aspect of ceremony, using color and sound, movement, signs, seals, and a particular order of invocations. A ritual done as an external form of activity, which applies the 5th and 7th Ray correctly, can invoke higher forces, but without inner Soul-focused knowledge it is difficult to ascertain the quality and type of intelligences invoked. This was the basis of the Golden Dawn, modern Masonry, and others. Results can be had, but at what cost? Participants may begin to feel a change in the room environment, or feel a presence, but usually out of ignorance, and wishful thinking, they immediately assume that what they feel is some higher intelligence. In most cases, lower devic or elemental force respond as they are easy to contact. Without a deep altruistic 2nd Ray purpose, just 5th and 7th Ray rituals can become mechanical and veer onto a more selfish focus and the invoked forces will exasperate the lunar pitris, giving more force to the lower nature.

The inner or internal ritual involves a conscious continual alignment with the Soul, thus, first linking with higher intelligences that protect the ritual and help guide the outcome. This ensures greater safety and achieving of results that are aligned or are in harmony to the Ageless Wisdom as given out through the inner Ashrams and Hierarchy.

The laws of secret knowledge protect the deeper esoteric teaching. Esoteric knowledge is quantitative and come under the laws of matter. They are the same laws that control the distribution of money, except on a higher turn of the spiral. For instance, I read that there are enough billionaires today, who if they shared their money, hunger could be wiped out. There is enough food. But they don’t share their money. Kings of old kept their populace poor. Why? Because it’s a law that the rich are unconsciously controlled by. It’s an aspect of karmic law.

In is the same with Esoteric knowledge, that only a certain few can pass into the golden radiance of true secret knowledge and understand it.

Fortunately, there are levels of the occult. Even the lower occult has levels as does the higher. For instance, there are so many tarot readers. Do they know what is really happening when they read? What is the correct deck? Do they know the correct ritual, offerings, and colors, that are needed to invoke the ancient guardians of the Tarot. The amount of occult knowledge needed to see what is really happening is in away, mind-blowing.

It is the same with chanting a mantra. This is the true sacred knowledge and it is well guarded by the occult brotherhood. This topic has a great deal of depth, and again a certain knowledge is actually essential to explore it fully. Sound can be both creative and destructive once you know the formulas and meet the requirements. The powers of the Siddhas of old were based on sound. Today, spiritual healers will use their hands to pass over a patient’s body to help adjust the patient’s prana, to help create a more harmonious flow. The initiate healer, applying a mantra can remove attached negative karmic entities, eliminating the cause of the ailment in a few moments. One is personality-based healing while the other is Soul-focused. The first real task on the occult path is to learn to determine the difference between personality force and the energy of Soul alignment.
