Disrespecting the Masters

I’ve been studying esotericism off-and-on, and it’s taught me to appreciate the honesty of Christianity like never before. WE DON’T DO SECRETS. That’s huge, let me tell you. Esotericism divides its followers into the inner circle of Illuminated Mystic Adept Master Savants, and the outer circle of dues-paying chumps. Only Christianity offers you the truth, the whole truth and as much truth up front as the cloistered egghead gets in his lifetime. Only in Christianity, is the mud-farming peasant considered the equal, and possible superior, of the ivory-tower priest-king invoking the power of the gods.

Nearly all Christians will tell you the entirety of Christianity for the trouble of your asking, as best they can. No charge. No pilgrimage. No secrets. If you can’t afford five bucks for a Bible then ask the Gideons for a freebie or just download a PDF.

And that, to many humans, is such a hateful, vile, loathsome KINDNESS that even Christian churches are wont to gatekeep without mercy and pretend that Latin-spewing clergy in gold-trimmed bathrobes, or their seminary-trained, book-authoring equivalents, are better human beings than the *ahem* carpenters drawing in the dirt.

Similarly, every esoteric text I’ve read from the Kabbalah to Freemasonry 1. tries to convince me I can become like God and 2. offers me secret knowledge if only I fill my brain with its gunk. The joke’s on them, I’m already a god (because Father God adopted me). I just want to recognize their stink. If they’re going to play “hide in plain sight” then I want to play “notice in plain sight”, that’s all. Esotericism is no moral threat, when you aren’t tempted to steal fire from Prometheus.

But not everybody shares my faith, that Christ Jesus is sufficient.

Behind the Scenes Spiritual Guides

By William Wildblood, 27 November 2023

It's possible that some readers of this blog who have only come to it recently are not aware of its initiating inspiration, referred to in the title of the blog. I am not saying the writings here have any special authority. For better or worse they are just me but they do derive in part from experiences I had as a young man when I was given instruction by beings from the spiritual world who are traditionally referred to as Masters.

The word describes souls who have mastered their lower nature, overcome the world, the flesh and the devil and passed out of the ordinary human kingdom into the fifth kingdom, that of souls united in full consciousness with God.

That’s bad. The entire reason we need a Savior, is because we cannot master ourselves and overcome the world. If you don’t know this then have you even tried to be good?

No, “good enough” isn’t. And no, if there was a way to accomplish that then God wouldn’t keep it secret. He keeps nothing secret without a reason… He wants to be understood… dude, He’s promised us the very keys of Heaven. Why would He hold out on anything at all?

In Christian terminology this would be souls who have achieved theosis which is very different to salvation as it implies that the soul has not just turned to God but has actually made the spiritual journey that leads to the divinization of consciousness.

That’s worse. THERE IS NO “HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS” TO BE REACHED. Anybody who saw Jesus of Nazareth, saw God. The Almighty spoke to us mortals, even His enemies, face to face! Our souls are already the very breath of God!

Here's the difference. Salvation means to follow Christ. Theosis is to become like him in the sense of allowing him to be born and grow to maturity in your heart. This is a long and arduous process but the saints and other great spiritual figures of the past have proved it can be done by those prepared to make the necessary sacrifice of the earthly self. That is what the Crucifixion means.

That’s just WRONG.

It’s the Cross, the suffering, that makes us like Christ, not theosis. Salvation means forgiveness for our evils.

Nobody “masters their lower nature”. Nobody achieves theosis… it is the gift of God, given BEFORE sanctification begins. There’s no finish line. There is no inner circle of Enlightened “great spiritual figures” who proved by their “necessary sacrifices” that “it can be done”, orbited by an outer circle of saved but still unworthy. Anybody can “do” Christianity. The only difference between sinner and saint is repentance.

As surely as Hell is hot, that “only difference between sinner and saint” is NOT attracting the attention of a spirit guide. Do you think God would hide powerful knowledge from you as a test of whether you’re worthy to handle it? Do you think God wants most of His believers to only be outer-circle? Do you want to know the secret to joining God’s inner-circle? Then you’re reading the fucking Necronomicon instead of the Bible.

There follows an article, slightly edited, from my book The Spiritual Crisis of Modern Man which explains something about these Masters. I know some people are suspicious of such beings, fearing demonic deception…

Yo! but it ain’t fear, it’s hate.

…but we should not let the existence of fake coin blind us to the reality of authentic currency. At the same time, deception assuredly does exist but that is what we have intuition for, to sort out true from false.

For believers, this is simple. Is the spirit loyal to Christ or not? If yes then it has nothing new to offer… we already have the Holy Spirit. If no then it can go to Hell. Which is it, thou self-ascended Master? Be thou redundant or rebel? Ohhh, you have NEW knowledge to share? Then go to Hell.

It really is that simple. God does not intend the supernatural to be part of our daily experience. It’s not a privilege reserved for the special. It’s not the Demiurge struggling to maintain his deceit against rising human consciousness. It’s a moral hazard that God would spare us from. Humans do not have the ability to operate in the spirit world. That is God’s doing, not ours, and you should not seek to thwart God.

The Gnostics think the mortal world holds us back as spiritual beings. The truth is, this mortal world offers us rare, limited-time advantages BECAUSE it limits our spiritual awareness.

What Are Masters?

In this article, I hope to shed some light on the idea of discarnate spiritual Masters as the enlightened guides of humanity, and to set out what they are and what they are not. This is an area in which there is a lot of illusion and confusion. The purpose of the article is to show why that is so and to clarify, for believer and sceptic alike, what remains a difficult subject.

For over a hundred years now the idea of spiritual Masters has been well established in Western esoteric thought and, one might add, myth. These are alleged to be beings who have gone beyond the need for the human experience and now exist in a state of elevated consciousness, free of the limitations of material form as we know it. They have realised their oneness with God.

Esotericism preaches… almost uniformly, across the rainbow of its fruity flavors… that there will soon be a “unified human consciousness” replacing the social atomization of materialism. There is sharp disagreement over who will mediate (enforce) that consciousness, of course.

I wonder if AI is being prepared/offered as an impartial moderator of that esoteric, global human consciousness.

The Theosophical Mahatmas were probably the first of these Masters to be presented to the general public but many other groups and individuals have claimed contact with similar or identical beings since, and there are a number of teachings, received in various ways, supposedly deriving from them. Some of these teachings can be spiritually instructive. Others are clearly false.

That’s a setup for deception. No teacher says “I' will teach you a lot of stuff and you will figure out what’s correct.” That is the opposite of teaching. That is confusion. That is a deceiver testing one lie after another to figure out which one best baits your hook, while ordering you not to connect the dots of what he’s doing.

Or alternatively, it’s a human choosing what he wants to be true.

What is the reality behind all this, if indeed there is one?

The reality is that a religion that can spontaneously appear across cultures, must be rooted in the basic human condition. I believe esotericism is such an emergent religion… based on the universal human instinct for rebellion against God.

A universal instinct, one should note, that humans share with demons.

Theosophical leaders expanded on the original picture of the Masters considerably, elevating them to almost Christ-like figures which is slightly odd since they were essentially Buddhists. They promoted the young Krishnamurti as their intended mouthpiece only to be discomfited when he rejected the position intended for him, apparently turning his back on the whole idea of Masters.

That’s not odd at all. Demons are cowards because courage is a virtue. (I heard that from an exorcist. It sounds right and explains much about globohomo.) They HATE being denied. Methinks it is actually painful to them.

Meanwhile, we note that Esotericism can appear in Confucian societies as well as Western/Christian societies.

However, the concept of spiritual supermen did not go away. It was taken up by other groups and is now an intrinsic part of New Age thought with a variety of channelled communications purportedly emanating from what has come to be called the Spiritual Hierarchy. For the interested layperson separating fact from fiction in all this can be something of a challenge.

For the Christian, separating fact from fiction is both basic adulthood and an act of worship. That’s why family teasing children is a time-honored tradition, because a kid figuring out for himself that Santa isn’t real, is good preparation for swimming in adulthood’s unfiltered sea of lies.

And that was true before social media!

For example, there’s nothing challenging about determining the loyalty of a spirit: if you have to ask then the answer is demon. God’s loyal servants are not ashamed to confirm their loyalty.

Esoteric thought tells us that between the physical and purely spiritual worlds there exists a realm corresponding to the human psyche which is often called the astral plane. This is non-physical but still material in that it is a plane of form and multiplicity. It has no permanent reality but is formed of the wishes, desires and thoughts of human beings built up over thousands of years.

Translation: You can be equal to God if there’s an entire reality beyond God’s reach. Which could be true if one existed, I suppose, except if it did exist, it would be swiftly overrun by demonic migrant refugees from Hell. Just like France.

Don’t anybody dare claim that the purity of humanity’s combined hopes and dreams, will keep the demons out.

In fact, come to think of it, that “Astral Plane” sounds EXACTLY like Warhammer 40,000’s “The Warp”. Which is a futuristic depiction of, you guessed it, Hell.

In fact, come to think of all o’ that, I cannot imagine any place where God does not exist, that would NOT end up a Hell-hole. I would rather imagine a place where it’s the devil who has no power. That would be heavenly.

You might think that either such Masters exist or they don’t exist but it’s not quite that straightforward. In a famous passage, Dion Fortune said “The Masters as you picture them are all ‘imagination’. I did not say that the Masters were imagination (but) the Masters as they are supposed to be in popular would-be esoteric thought are pure fiction.” This remark makes clear that the Masters are real but they are not as we think they are or as presented by some of those claiming to represent them. This does not necessarily mean that such people are deliberately misleading us…

Full stop with that bafflegarbled bullshit. That’s not a Master Spirit, that’s Jordan B. Peterson back on his psych meds and straight outta rehab.

“Does the Master really exist? Who knows? What is real in this unreal dimension, anyway? The important thing is that if Master misleads you, it’s your fault.”

It is not for me to say what [teachings of these Master spirits] may or may not be authentic. That is something we must work out for ourselves since this is how we develop spiritual discernment, and the awakening of the mind in the heart is the principal goal of all spiritual endeavour. One thing I would say though.

That “I am a wise, immortal Master Spirit who has transcended mortal limitations to achieve oneness with God Himself, yet am still so capable of being flat-out wrong that you badly flawed, mud-bound mortals must judge my teachings better than I do” puts the MORON in oxymoron?

The Masters teach of and from the soul by which I mean the spiritual component of our being which exists beyond form…

Skip bafflegarble.

If we wish to respond to the true Masters and not their astral reflection then we must subdue what relates to the astral plane within us…

Skip bafflegarble to the end.

Christians who are dubious about such matters should know that this is just another term for the Company of Saints.

That is a LIE.

Even if you ask a Catholic who accepts the concept of dead saints being actively involved in mortal life, those saints are KNOWN to exist, unlike Masters, and not on some hypothetical, human-defined Astral Plane, unlike Masters, and they didn’t become perfect via their own efforts, which is why in life, they heeded a Savior not a spirit guide.

We should certainly be alert to demonic deception as we should to fake gurus in the spiritual world, of whom there are plenty. We should always ask how much of the spirit of Christ is present here.

ZEEE-ROW!

Because Christ does not keep secrets. He has promised the opposite, in fact: all that is hidden shall, eventually, be made known.

Because Christ does not mix truths with lies, then leave us to sort it out. That is simply not who the God of Truth IS.

Aaand, because Christ didn’t leave us as orphans. We have the Spirit Of Christ to teach, protect and guide us.

Mr. Wildblood needs to accept that demons got to him in his youth, and consequently, he filled his head with esoteric garbage for many years. He’ll never overcome his human nature… let alone achieve perfection… on his own efforts. Any spirit that says otherwise, is a demon wanting company in Hell. Any human who says otherwise, has rejected the only spiritual superman that he’ll ever encounter.

Divinity and perfection are the free gifts of Christ Jesus. Come learn how to be a god from the REAL God, not some wannabe poseur. Why refuse?

A serious question for everybody who chases the occult.
