OCCULT TEXTS

©2013 Dorian Taddei

It is our contention that a great spiritual awakening began during the Renaissance. Most will undoubtedly attribute this awakening to the printing press and the first publicly available copies of the Judeo-Christian Bible. However, the original texts of the Old Testament Bible were primarily meant to be read as symbolic texts. Lacking this understanding, those who had no power to "reveal" the hidden, deeper meanings of these holy writings, were left to 'kick against the pricks' of scholastic over-simplification and literalism.

As the converted gnostic (also called a Nazarene following his conversion, and subsequent training in Petra, as was Christ), Paul wrote the following to the Saints at Corinth (2 Peter, 1: 20-21)

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.


The praise rendered here as "holy men of God" might also be translated "revealer," or "revelator." This refers to the gift of divine revelation or gnosis.

After almost almost 1-1/2 millennia of often mis-interpreted meanings and the overt suppression of alternative texts from the Judeo-Christian corpus, Guttenberg's printing press made it possible for anyone to own a copy of the extant texts of the Catholics. However, it was not really the official books of the Bible that opened the 3rd Eye of the early Renaissance seekers of light, so much as the publishing of the Corpus Hermeticum (ca 1500, with an additional 22 texts appearing by 1621).

[Wikipedia: Hermetica]

“The Hermetica are Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE,[1] which are mostly presented as dialogues in which a teacher, generally identified as Hermes Trismegistus ("thrice-greatest Hermes"), enlightens a disciple. The texts form the basis of Hermeticism. They discuss the divine, the cosmos, mind, and nature. Some touch upon alchemy, astrology, and related concepts.

“The extant Egyptian-Greek texts dwell upon the oneness and goodness of God, urge purification of the soul. Their concerns are practical in nature, their ends a spiritual rebirth through the enlightenment of the mind:”

“Seeing within myself an immaterial vision that came from the mercy of God, I went out of myself into an immortal body, and now I am not what I was before. I have been born in mind!”

“Many hermetic texts were lost to Western culture during the Middle Ages but rediscovered in Byzantine copies and popularized in Italy during the Renaissance. The impetus for this revival came in the mid-1400s when Leonardo de Candia Pistoia a Byzantine monk, brought in 1460 the Hermetica manuscript and the 14 books called Corpus Hermeticum to the court of Cosimo de'Medici, ruler of Florence . . .The Hermetica provided a seminal impetus in the development of Renaissance thought and culture, having a profound impact on alchemy and modern magic . . .

“Although the most famous exemplars of Hermetic literature were products of Greek-speakers under Roman rule the genre did not suddenly stop with the fall of the Empire but continued to be produced in Coptic, Syriac, Arabic, Armenian and Byzantine Greek. The most famous example of this later Hermetica is the Emerald Tablet, known from medieval Latin and Arabic manuscripts . . .

“The mostly gnostic Nag Hammadi Library, discovered in 1945, also contained one previously unknown hermetic text called The Ogdoad and the Ennead, a description of a hermetic initiation into gnosis that has led to new perspectives on the nature of Hermetism as a whole . . .

TRACING THE ORIGINS OF OCCULT KNOWLEDGE

In our search for truth, we must look back into the hoary past, shrouded in misunderstanding, lost in legends and symbolic myths. If we wish to find at least one stream flowing from the fountainhead of true occult learning, owe are obliged to turn to the high Tibetan Alps, and to knock at the door of the temples of the ancient Bon.

The Bon (properly Bon-po) claim to have inherited the spiritual/cosmological knowledge from major spiritual sources as ancient as the Siberian shamanic traditions — at least 18,000 years BP, if the Bon traditions are to be believed. The Bon claim that they have incorporating later teachings such as those of the early practitioners of the Vedic traditions, and later Buddhism, but that their shamanic origins come from the steppes of Asia.

Cultural anthropologist and Bon initiate John Reynolds has this to say about the origins of the Bon(po) tradition(s):

“. . . the Bonpo tradition of Dzogchen known as the Zhang-zhung Nyan-gyud . . . claims to represent a continuous oral tradition (snyan-rgyud) from the earliest times coming from Zhang-zhung in Western Tibet . . . modern Tibetan histories written by cloistered Buddhist monks portray the ancient pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet called Bon as . . . nefarious . . . to glorify the role of Indian Mahayana Buddhism in Tibetan history, suggesting that there was no culture nor civilization in Tibet before the coming of Indian Buddhism to Central Tibet . . .

“. . . Although these cultures involved various types of religious practice and belief, the central role was occupied by a practitioner known as a shaman. The activity of the shaman was definitively characterized as entering into an altered state of consciousness . . . or "ecstasy" . . . soul-travel . . .”

“But there exists a second type of religious culture also known as ‘Bon’ whose adherents claim to represent the pre-Buddhist civilization of Tibet. These practitioners of Bon assert that at least part of their religious tradition was not native to Tibet, but was brought to Central Tibet sometime before the seventh century from the previously independent country of Zhang-zhung, west of Tibet [Iranian highlands, also considered the home of the Magi]. . . This form of Bon is known also as Yungdrung Bon (g.yung-drung bon), "the Eternal Teaching," a term which could be reconstructed into Sanskrit as "Svastika-dharma," where the swastika or sun-cross is the symbol of the eternal and the indestructable, corresponding in most every respect to the Buddhist term vajra or diamond (rdo-rje). . . this ancient tradition possesses a large corpus of texts, also claiming to be pre-Buddhist in origin, relating to the higher teachings . . . [which] . . . look back even further in time to another prince, Shenrab Miwoche (gShen-rab mi-bo-che), born in . . . remote Central Asia . . . their Buddha (sangs-rgyas) and as the source of their teachings. Hence, the latter is given the title of Tonpa or Teacher (ston-pa), literally "the one who reveals . . “

EXCERPTS FROM THE KOLBRIN
THE BOOK OF CREATION
Chapter Four - Affliction of God

CRT: 4:1 This comes from the scroll of Kerobal Pakthermin, who wrote, "The forbears of all the nations of man were once one people, and they were the elect of God who delivered all the Earth over to them, all the people, the beasts of the field, the creatures of the wasteland and the things that grow:

CRT: 4:2 They dwelt through long ages in lands of peace and plenty:

CRT: 4:3 "There were some who struggled harder, were more disciplined; because their forefathers had crossed the great dark void [reference to entheogenic re-birthing rituals]; their desires were turned Godward, and they were called “The Children of God."

CRT: 4:4 "Their country was undulating and forested. It was fertile, having many rivers and marshes. There were great mountains to the East and to the west, and in the North was a vast stony plain:

CRT: 4:5 "Then came the day when all things became still and apprehensive, for God caused a sign to appear in the Heavens, so that men should know the Earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star [comet]:

CRT: 4:6 “The star grew and waxed to a great brightness and was awesome to behold. It put forth horns [Refers to a comets passing us aligned on the ecliptic. These are eclipsed during close encounters with earth. In past times this horned appearance this lead to worshiping the bull, which was used as a symbol of the age of Taurus, before being turned into an idol] and sang [em resonance effects were recorded as “trumpet” or “horn” blasts worldwide. We can identify this story as yet another referencing the comet/planet of 1637 BCE. aka as the Exodus story of the Israelites], being unlike any other ever seen. So men, seeing it, said among themselves, 'Surely, this is God appearing in the Heavens above us.' The star was not God, though it was directed by His design, but the people had not the wisdom to understand.”

CRT: 4:7 "Then, God manifested Himself in the Heavens, His voice was as the roll of thunders and He was clothed with smoke and fire [this close-encounter triggered global plate movements and global quakes]. He carried lightnings [electrostatic discharges due the comet's passage and its affect on the aether] in His hand, and His breath, falling upon the Earth, brought forth brimstone and embers. His eye was a black void and His mouth an abyss containing the winds of Destruction. He encircled the whole of the Heavens, bearing upon His back a black robe [the Earth passed through the tail and was bathed in dust thick enough to blot out the stars for some time, and numerous smaller comet bodies and fireballs were seen in this tail] adorned with stars:”

CRT: 4:8 “Such was the likeness and manifestation of God in those days. Awesome was His countenance; terrible His voice of wrath; the sun and moon hid themselves in fear and there was a heavy darkness over the face of the Earth” [such deep fault quakes release lots of dark volcanic mists,often preventing fires from being lit].

CRT: 4:9 “God passed through the spaces of the Heavens above with a mighty roar and a loud trumpeting [another reference to EM resonance reaching audible levels]. Then came the grim dead silence and black red lit twilight of doom [this pale red dust is the molecular Cyanogens produced by large comets. The intense concentrations of this deadly dust has now been verified in most large comets: Hale-Bopp, Hyakutake, etc.]. Great fires and smoke rose up from the ground and men gasped for air. The land was rent asunder and swept clean by a mighty deluge of waters [tsunamis effected the entire planet]. A hole opened up in the middle of the land; the waters entered, and it sank beneath the seas:

CRT: 4:10 “The mountains of the East and West were split apart and stood up in the midst of the waters, which raged about. The Northland tilted and turned over on its side” [The earth tilted up and returned back to its original positon].

CRT: 4:11 "Then again, the tumult and clamour ceased, and all was silent. In the quiet stillness, madness broke out among men, frenzy and shouting filled the air [Immanuel Velikovsky well documented the amnesia and psychosis driven by these sorts of events. Few were not affected by having their world and lives literally shattered]. They fell upon one another in senseless, wanton bloodshed; neither did they spare woman or child, for they knew not what they did [classic pychotic break scenario]. They ran unseeing, dashing themselves to destruction. They fled to caves, and were buried and, taking refuge in trees, they were hung. There was rape, murder and violence of every kind."

CRT: 4:12 "The deluge of waters swept back, and the land was purged clean. Rain beat down unceasingly, and there were great winds. The surging waters overwhelmed the land, and man, his flocks and his gardens and all his works ceased to exist."

CRT: 4:13 “Some of the people were saved upon the mountainsides and upon the flotsam, but they were scattered far apart over the face of the Earth. They fought for survival in the lands of uncouth people. Amid coldness, they survived in caves and sheltered places." [Cold is due to regional or global dust overage. This dust could have been due to land impacts or the duct from the comet's tail.]

CRT: 4:14 “The Land of the Little People and the Land of Giants, the land of the Neckless Ones and the Land of Marshes and Mists, the Lands of the East and West were all inundated. The Mountain Land and the Lands of the South, where there is gold and great beasts, were not covered by the waters” [The Tibetan Plateau = "Mountain Land,." The "Lands to the South" = Africa].

CRT: 4:15 "Men were distracted and in despair. They rejected the Unseen God behind all things for something, which they had seen and known by its manifestation. They were less than children in those days and could not know that God had afflicted the Earth in understanding and not willfully, for the sake of man and the correction of his ways.” [Note: Widespread idol worship follows each of these events].

CRT: 4:16 "The Earth is not for the pleasure of man, but is a place of instruction for his Soul. A man more readily feels the stirrings of his Spirit in the face of disaster than in the lap of luxury. The tuition of the Soul is a long and arduous course of instruction and training.”

CRT: 4:17 “God is good, and from good, evil cannot come. He is perfect, and perfection cannot produce imperfection. Only the limited understanding of man sees imperfection in that, which is perfect for its purpose.”

CRT: 4:18 'This grievous affliction of man was another of his great tests. He failed and in so doing followed the paths of unnatural gods of his making. Man makes gods by naming them, but where in this is the benefit to him?'

CRT: 4:19 “Evil comes into the midst of mankind spawned by the fears and ignorance of men. An evil man becomes an evil spirit, and whatever evil there is on Earth comes either from the evil of spirits or the evil of men."

CRT: 5:1 Now, the Children of God were moulded by the Hand of God, which is called Awen, and it manifested according to their desires. For all things that have life are moulded by Awen. The fox, shivering in the cold lands, longs for warmth and so its cubs have coats, The owl, clumsy in the dam, longs to see its prey more clearly, and in generations of longing, the desire is granted. Awen makes everything what it is, for all things change under its law.

[Note: This is the correct understanding of what drives ontological changes at the level of the alleles. This is what drives true evolution; not chance, but it is driven by a desire to become like God. There has NEVER been a case of “forward” evolution seen by scientists. All the coding needed is buried in our genetic code. There is NO ‘junk DNA.']

CRT: 5:2 Men, too, are moulded by their desires, but unlike the beasts and birds, their yearings are circumscribed by the laws of fate and destiny and the law of sowing and reaping. These, the desires, modified by the laws, are called Enidvadew. Unlike the beasts and birds, this, in man, is something relating to him rather than to his offspring, though they are not untouched by it.

CRT: 5:3 Destiny may be likened to a man who must travel to a distant city, whether or not he wishes to make the journey, the destination being his destiny. He may choose whether to go by way of a river or by way of a plain; whether across mountains or through forests, on foot or horseback, slow or fast, and whatever befalls because of this decision is fate. If a tree falls on him because he chose the forest path, it was fated, for luck is an element of fate. Destiny leaves no choice; late gives limited choice which may be good or bad, but it cannot be averted. What is fated must be, for at no point can there be any turning back.

CRT: 5:4 The circumstances, Enidvadew, of the traveller conform to the law of sowing and reaping; he may travel in comfort or pain, happily or sorrowfully, with strength or weakness, heavily burdened or lightly burdened, well prepared or ill prepared. When the destination is set according" to the degrees of a former life, then the circumstances of the journey should conform with the desire. For what use is it desiring a great destination when the law of sowing and reaping decrees that an intolerable burden must be carried on the way? Far better to have lesser aspirations. The decrees of fate are many; the decrees of destiny are few.

CRT: 5:5 When the Earth was young and the race of man still as children, there were fertile, green pastures in the lands where all is now sand and barren wasteland. In the midst of it was a gardenland, which lay against the edge of the Earth, eastward towards the sunrising, and it was called Meruah, meaning The Place of The Garden on the Plain. It lay at the foot of a mountain, which was deft at its rising, and out of it flowed the river of Tardana, which watered the plain. From the mountain, on the other side, ran the river Kal, which watered the plain through the land of Kaledan. The river Nara flowed westward and then turned back to flow around the gardenland.

CRT: 5:6 It was a fertile place, for out of the ground grew every kind of tree that was good for food and every tree that was pleasant to the sight. Every herb that could be eaten and every herb that flowered was there. The Tree of life, which was called Glasir, having leaves of gold and copper [This references the specific mineralogy of the two parts of the “Elixir of Life” – the one (red) primarily consisting of gold and Iridium OMMPAs, and the other (green) possessing high levels of copper, rhodium and silver], was within the Sacred Enclosure. There, too, was the Great Tree of Wisdom bearing the fruits of knowledge granting the choice and ability to know the true from the false [entheogenic reference]. It is the same tree, which can be read as men read a book . . . [stimulates the visual cortex, and therefore pattern recognition. The term as “men read a book:” refers here to the manner in which prophets were enabled to ‘reveal’ the symbolic messages encoded into those sacred writings scribed by those who had undergone the same experiences (rituals). This is not referencing the mere reading of characters in a profane text, as we know it today].

ROOT RACES

The Indian historic sources speak of four prior root races of ancient Man; modern Man being the fifth. What did they mean? Modern science has insisted that one initial race of men evolved in Africa, and slowly spread its genes slowly from there into Europe and Asia. They have claimed that there is a single gene lineage back to their ape version of Adam, and insisted that the evidence leaves us only this conclusion. However, only as recently as 2003, a discovery on the island of Flores, Java, served as a wake-up call for those who have long held to strict Darwinism; what has come to be called the "out of Africa" theory of human evolution.

In a cave complex deep in the jungles of Flores, light was finally shed upon the three-foot people now named the Homo floresiensis. These three-foot human beings, known to us from ancient myths on every continent, are not Homo sapiens. And yet, they developed complex ritual, technologies (including transoceanic sailing vessels and navigation), hunted and protected themselves with blow-dart toxins, traded on very major continent, and even became famous for their maritime control over the North Pacific Equatorial Countercurrent that leads directly to the New World from the Western Pacific. They appear in major myths from across the planet as the "little people," were recorded in statuary in Egypt and the Levant as idols (thought to protect children), built mysterious "hobbit-like" holes in the North Island of New Zealand, and literally controlled international transoceanic trade since before the last Ice Age until their decline before the current era.
