Esoterists have historically been prudent about making their teachings known to the general public. Hence, the teachings were disguised in parables, proverbs, myths, symbols, cryptic sayings, and so on. On the one hand, this prevented the teachings from being distorted and misunderstood, if they were presented in a more open way. On the other hand, the teachings were preserved since the stories and symbols would be pass on, even by those who could not fully comprehend them.
In the past, books were rare and expensive, so teachings had to be passed down from mouth to mouth. But moveable type enabled books to be mass produced at lower costs. In our time, virtually everything is available. Nevertheless, the widespread availability of esoteric teachings has not prevented them from being misunderstood.
For example, New Age teachings mimic esoteric teachings while distorting them out of all recognition. For a while, I followed such teachings, especially the branch that was summarized in the movie The Secret. Called New Thought, the idea was that changing one’s thoughts would automatically change the outward circumstances of life. There is no doubt that an improvement in the quality of one’s thoughts is beneficial. Unfortunately, however, this won’t “cause” the Universe to mold circumstances to fulfill your desires. Especially, a ten minute affirmation on success cannot override a full day of “stinkin’ thinking’”.
They claimed to be teaching what the “mystics always taught.” However, I could not recall mystics trying to use their spirituality to gain wealth, health, love, and the like. That was when I made the decision to actually read those mystics for myself. Although New Thought had the words of the mystics, it did not translate into an understanding.
This is one of the affirmations we were taught: “I am Perfect, Whole, and Complete.” That is worth exploring. The fundamental misunderstanding is the failure to grasp the distinction between the Self (or Person) and the Ego (or Individual). So the affirmations may be correct when applied to the Self, but not to the Individual.
Perfect
The Self is perfect but the individual ego certainly is not. Calling the Ego “prefect” is actually harmful. Alchemical work begins with purgation. One must honestly face up to the shadow of the ego and engage in the process of overcoming negative thoughts, images, and emotions. Repeating affirmations will not accomplish that. Unfortunately, in new age circles that work is avoided because it is considered to be purely negative.
Whole
The Self is an undivided whole but the individual is full of conflicting elements. The next stage in the alchemical process is to resolve those conflicts. To be Whole means to be a Unity. The individual who aspires to such wholeness will develop a singular will that will remain constant from day to day.
Complete
The Self is Complete because it does not lack anything. The New Ages recognize that the individual experiences lack. It may be deficient financially, health.
They claim that the opposite of lack is supply. Supply can be replenished by contacting the “higher self”. In a sense that is true. However, one does not “contact” the higher self, one must “be” the higher self. That is the final stage of alchemical transformation.
Summary
The new ager who believes that the individual as such is perfect, whole, and complete, will fail to develop spiritually in a fully healthy way.
Nevertheless, it may be useful to affirm to oneself: “I am perfect, whole, and complete.” That will serve as a reminder that you, as a Self, have those qualities. Understood properly, it will motivate you to complete the alchemical transformation in your own life. The Universe will not do it for you.
I began thinking my infatuation for the year 2356 for the complete victory of the ascending Christic powers in this planet. A whole new humanity as it is said, a new Heaven and earth, the rule of Baldr in the innocent realms of Lif ans Lifthasir. When men’s eyes shall be finally opened and they shall live in prosperity and simple, spiritually infused lives in different kinds of decentralized communities.
But again to the number 2356, it makes 16, the Tower. You do realize that it brings to my mind either Isengard or even Mordor? As If the irony Titanic structures erected by the forces of the counter-initiation would crumble one and for all the titans fall from the Tower and the Red Golden Dragon of Laozu ascends to the Heavens.

This text is worth repeating. The meeting of The Solar Hierarchy closes upon the planet.
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the chaotic ability to see things beforehand. You know, one time while drunk as a bird of forgetfulness and the time before the deluge, I saw Charles death. This was about 1,5 years before he really died. In my vision I saw him being in bed and trying to contact someone, and his head hurt so bad he had to hold it with his hands. Then I saw him meeting the Christ and ascending into the Heavens. He couldn’t manage to contact anyone somewhere 4 am, and left quite desperately. I have no idea how he really died but we then talked about the issue with him in the evening privately at Facebook. He said to me sarcastically, that perhaps he won’t be buying presents this year. I answered to him, I think you should, but lets wait for the next year.
I am beginning to sense Cologero hasn’t gone anywhere. The day after I called upon him to find jos true Lightform, I saw a dream in which he Stoor amazed in his on Light in the Kingdom of God (The fifth Kingdom). I even believe he could be in touch with Manu in some of his eschatological designer of the Sixth American Culture and New Philadelphia / New Jerusalem).
Take these with a huge grain of Salt (Reason & Logic) but that is what I have been given a chance to glance beyond the vein.
To return to Tradition seems to mean the dissolution of old forms both in good and bad. All traditionalisms must fall and age old cruel customs shall end in any form, yet the true new age isn’t going to be a paradise. It will only be the satya yuga of the ascending dwaparayuga, a relative beginning of the ascending arch. I have seen and thought about the year 2356 for some reason many times, when things could be good.
That which I’m sure that the gates of Evil have now been shut and se have slowly begin to separate from the globally spread egregore that had taken the whole planet into itä grips. The Gates of Asgard are now again open for the benevolent forces of the Eagle and the Dove to tule with Jupiterian might and Magix, and with the auspicious conjuction of The Golden Eagle Shall Strand the Venusian l lady again with her magic powers of Feminine white witchery.
The God died because the Goddess was murdered by the esoteric structures of the organized monotheisms of the middle east.
In the Wedding feasts there’s no room for wolves (violence/abuse of will), foxes (manipulators,distortion of reason) or rabbits (cowards who hide behind the first bushel or Wolf, while the foxes manipulate both parties .
Neither is Lemminkäinen, in his unpurified form of a Christic seeker of the maiden of the North is welcome to the Wedding feast, because he defiles the women as human Eros. The one WHO didn’t wear the Wedding suite, was not welcome to the Wedding Feast of the Kings Son (King/ God; Son/The human soul).
Know ye not that we shall judge Angels?
Hammer your thoughts and being into unity.
