THE SECRET DOCTRINE
Hendrik Santo, in the Rise/Sink/Open/Close thread, and in the Phenix Bio thread, (this latter threads’ post giving out some chakra info)…within these two threads a great deal of esoteric knowledge is either given out or hinted at…the bait being how to develop chi energy while doing SLT.
He has opened some doors within these two threads - notwithstanding the foolish and self-serving attempts by some to discredit him…and I will now walk through some of those doors in a very different direction than I have ever gone on this forum…As up until now almost everything I’ve posted has had to do with fighting and/or lineage politics.
But there is fighting and there is FIGHTING…and this will be about a much more important fight than simply physical self-defense.
The fight within each individual soul that pits it’s own Higher nature vs. it’s own lower nature (see the Bhagavad Gita for all the details)…as opposed to pitting one’s own Higher nature vs. the lower nature of someone else (see World War 2, for an example of this…as Hitler and the Nazi movement was the epitomy of both individual and collective Demonic lower selves fighting against all that is HIGH and GOOD within human nature(s)
THE SECRET DOCTRINE was written in 1888 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (H.P.B.)…the founder of the modern Theosophical movement. The objects of the Theosophical movement are:
-
To form the nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color.
-
The study of ancient and modern religions, philosophies, and sciences, and the demonstration of the importance of such study; and
-
The investigation of the unexplained laws of Nature and the psychic powers latent in man.
Here are some excerpts from The Secret Doctrine:
"The whole Kosmos is guided, controlled, and animated by an almost endless series of Hierarchies of sentient Beings, each having a mission to perform, and who - whether we give to them one name or another, and call them Dhyan Chohans or Angels - are ‘messengers’ in the sense only that that they are agents of Karmic and Cosmic laws. They vary infinitely in their respective degrees of consciousness and intelligence; and to call them all pure Spirits without any of the earthly alloy ‘which time is wont to prey upon’ is only to indulge in poetical fancy. For each of these Beings either WAS, or perhaps to become, a man, if not in the present, then in a past or a coming cycle (Manvantara). They are PERFECTED, when not INCIPIENT, men.
(Volume 1, page 274-275)…
"In sober truth, as just shown, every ‘Spirit’ so called is either a DISEMBODIED OR A FUTURE MAN. As from the highest Archangel (Dhyan Chohan) down to the last conscious ‘Builder’ (the inferior class of Spiritual Entities), all such are MEN, having lived aeons ago, in other Manvantaras (world periods), on this or other Spheres; so the inferior, semi-intelligent and non-intelligent Elementals - are all FUTURE men. That fact alone - that a Spirit is endowed with intelligence - is a proof to the Occultist that that Being must have been a MAN, and acquired his knowledge and intelligence throughout the human cycle. There is but one indivisible and absolute Omniscience amd Intelligence in the Universe, and this thrills thoughout every atom and infinitetesmal point of the whole infinite Kosmos which has no bounds, and which people call SPACE, considered independently of anything contained in it. But the first differentiation of its REFLECTION in the manifested World is purely Spiritual, and the Beings generated in it are not endowed with a consciousness that has any relation to the one we conceive of. They can have no human consciousness or Intelligence before they have acquired such, personally and individually. This may be a mystery, yet it is a fact, in Esoteric philosophy, and a very apparent one too.
Ibid., Volume 1, page 277…
“The Doctrine teaches that, in order to become a divine, fully conscious god - aye, even the highest - Spiritual primeval INTELLIGENCES must pass through the human stage. And when we say human, this does not apply merely to our terrestrial humanity, but to the mortals that inhabit any world. ie., to those Intelligences that have reached the appropriate equilibrium between matter and spirit, as WE have now, since the middle point of the Fourth Root Race of the Fourth Round was passed. Each entity must have won for itself the right of becoming divine, through self experience. Hegel, the great German thinker, must have known or sensed intuitionally this truth when saying, as he did,that the Unconscious evolved the Universe only ‘in th hope of attaining clear self-consciousness,’ of becoming, in other words, MAN; for this is also the secret meaning of the usual Puranic phrase about Brahma being constantly ‘moved by the desire to create’…The Mind-born Sons, the Rishis, the Builders, etc., werer all men - of whatever forms and shapes - in other worlds and the preceding Manvantaras.
This subject, being so very mystical, is therefore the most difficult to explain in all its details and bearings; since the whole mystery of evolutionary creation is contained in it…every atom in the Universe has the potentiality of self-consciousness in it, and is, like the Monads of Leibnitz, a Universe in itself, and FOR itself. IT IS AN ATOM AND AN ANGEL.”
Ibid., Volume 1, page 106-107…
Now…returning to the part about “each Entity having to win for itself the right of becoming divine, through self experience”…
Recall the famous phrase by Christ, that - “The Kingdom of heaven must be taken by violence”…
This is the FIGHT that must be won over our OWN lower self…
and yes…cultivating the chi energy through the chakras when doing SLT, for example…IS ONE WAY of taking a step in the direction UPWARDS…but beware…when using the intense Power that is possible to achieve through martial arts unwisely and unjustly - Karmic Retribution will come one’s way - at some point in time.
