I truly do not care what choice you make and what you guys have decided to become. But, what i will not sit back and watch is satanists trying to wear a cloak and lie about their true identity. Since i grew old enough to reason for myself, i've always heard of Satanists pretending and parading themselves as Christians. In trying to justify their evil, they Jesus was also an Occult. But, i have never heard about Christian, i mean a disciple of Christian sneaking into Occult in disguise. Hey People. Jesus is the creator of all including Satan. You can say whatever you like, but the truth remains that satan is a. counterfeiter. Jesus is the Head of them all. The Source. If there's any similarities between what satan does and what Jesus has done is because, they are all Spirits and the lower must necessarily copy from the Higher. And MiddleDimention, am waiting. 1 Like |

Anas09: you are asking me what the origin of ''hidden'' is? pls don't ask This question like the occult is a particular organization, religion, sect, etc. I WILL DEFINITELY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. but before then, pls tell me how many deciples did Jesus have? |

Anas09: I will show you the those scriptures definitely. but pls tell me how many disciples did Jesus have again you speak like the occult is an organization. why don't you mention the particular organization you are referring to, and if i know them, then i with be able to tell you if they meet at night, in private or not. and if they do, i may be able to tell you why |

MiddleDimension:Guy, don't be clever. I asked the Source (call it origin if you like) of the Occult, don't swerve the discussion of course. You finish one before you proceed to the next. The Power you guys brandish, where does it come from? Who is at the helm of all Occultic movements? 1 Like |

MiddleDimension:The Occult is a term which describes certain activities done in secret. Every group of people who practice mysticism, belonging grand lodges, practicing magic, Zodiacal and numerical readings, does astral projects, chakras, palm reading, enchantments, divination, sorcery. they are all Occult.

you asking who the head of the occult is like asking who the head of knowledge, or wisdom, or science, or philosophy is. if there are scientistfic organizations, philosophical organization, etc, then we can start talking about some kind of leader, or origin, or source etc. but let me just give you evidence that jesus had secret disciples, taught secretly, etc. in one of his letters, Paul talked about Jesus appearing to a 500 of his deciples. then he had a closer 120, and then he sent a 72 out carry out miracles. out of that, he had the famous 12, out of which, he had the closest circle to him made up of three people. so now you can see that the mathematics someone talked about here, is beginning to appear - geometry. and to these circles, there are things he taught them when the outer circles were not present. a very good example of this is the last supper. when he wanted to eat that, were the five hundred present? what about the 72 and 120? when the holy ghost was coming, i bet the 500 were not there. during the transfiguration, he went up into the mountains with thethree he deliberately pulled out of the12, and he got transfigured in their presence. 1 Like |

contd and he instructed the three not to reveal this to anyone until the time is right. now, as far as the other disciples are concerned, that was occultic, because it is hidden from them.now if i was with my friends in the hill not knowing that you are somewhere around, and i got transfigured like Jesus was, you would peobably say, oh, i said it! this guy is ogbanje! but the point is...he showed them a thing he never said to the others even though they were all his disciples. from here too, we can see why certain things are kept down low: because the time is not right. so yea, the esoteric organization some timea keep things down low because the time is not right. not just esoteric organization do this. Darwin sat on his findings for good 20 years before teaching the public. the public mind may not be ripe for it yet and it could lead to a break downof orderliness etc. Jesus said: if i tell you of these things and you can believe me, how then would you believe me when i tell you higher things? Joseph of aremathea was a SECRET disciple of Jesus. the bible says it very clearly. there are so many things I would like to provw to you including the SECRET meeting place of Jesus with his disciples, and it is known by a SECRET name. there is also a coded name they called Jesus. all of these are.shown by Bible passages. but i have to many things to do. you have already successful distracted me from my focus. 1 Like |

Anas09: by your definition of the occult, Jesus was of the occult. he did the transfiguration on SECRET hiding place, and revealed it to a few, Peter, James and John. and he commanded secrecy of them! a lodge ia not more a place than a Church ia a place. a lodge is a group of people who come together for a cause. as for numbers, i think i have already showed you how Jesus is a mathematian? and as foe zodiac/astrology, i wonder why three wise men where not condemned by god , but instead were portrayed in the Bible.as friends ofgod. they also showed better faith in God, than many of you do today. Bible says: without faith, no one can pls God. the three wise men plsd God, and located Jesus by way of astrology! 1 Like |

He Transfigured in secret and told his Apostles not to say it, that made him a fellow with you occult people yeah?. Do you also remember that all His Acts of kindness were done in secret and said they shd not broadcast them? That was an Occultic practice yeah? And, how come His Transfiguration is written in the open Bible? But, for you guys, except someone repents we never get to know what guys do. You mean Ogboni Lodge is a Church? See what it's turning our politicians into? Astrologers who came to Worship Jesus, did you hear me? WORSHIPed Jesus, read their stars and saw that a greater Principality had stepped into humanity. They were not equals, if they were, grand fathers won't come all the way from Persia to worship an infant. GO Figure. Jesus is the Head of ALL PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS.

Re: Occult Member (why Is The Public Afraid Of Them?) by ccarefulwind2(m): 12:35am On Nov 21, 2018 |
I will explain a little bit about the occult path of Light, in other to clarify and allow some of the accusers that read these thread, to observe closely, before jumping into conclusions of pointing fingers at any Occultist they come across. The Occult Path of Light It is almost ironic that the occult path of light is far more difficult to explain than the path of darkness, i must confess. For the path of darkness, there are no restrictions on behaviour as such. While The path of light however does involve restrictions. From a Christian perspective one may cite a line from the Bible whose surface level meaning encapsulates this point: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat." (Matthew 7:13). I tell you, Love of the Divine and love extended towards all others is key to this path. It is the guiding principle. And here recognition is given to the reality of Divine Justice within the Cosmic Framework. In their search for esoteric knowledge the occultist on the path of light will exercise great care in how they interact with both their fellow men and with the spiritual world itself. For study of the ancient mysteries is of course a given, but that said, there will be extreme contemplation in deciding just which spiritual experiences one should acquire i.e. gnostic experiences. Though in many schools of thought allied to the path of light, there will be an almost outright prohibition on taking any types of psychoactive substances as a means to explore the spiritual realm. Indeed, such artificial means as these are held to be very dangerous; plunging the initiate into the spirit world unprepared. Moreover, there is also the suggestion that such experiences retard the journey of the soul; affecting its upwards progression over several lifetimes. That being said, certain controlled mental techniques properly developed within the initiate to interact with other realms do tend to be allowable. Remote viewing would be one example. On a related matter, one may consider also the practice of attempting to communicate with the souls of the dead. Indeed, no offence to the spiritualist, the whole 'Spiritualist Movement' whose primary focus is upon this very activity is eyed with extreme suspicion. Indeed, it is held by some to be potentially very dangerous on a number of levels. The first thing to note is the danger to the departed soul. For one that has passed away from the realm of life, forcibly dragging them back into the 'circle of a spiritualist medium' is an extreme violation of the soul - even damaging it in its journey. If one truly wishes communication, then one must ascend to the region of the soul they seek, and not the other way around. The other point to note is that Spiritualism can lead to communication with malevolent entities. Indeed, certain beings feed off of the tense atmosphere and fear present at such circles. An initiate on the path of light must be very wary about association with such groups, and most especially should never seek to allow their vessel to be a container for another entity. For the path of darkness is very sticky, and her students are the reason why the public have always seen the occult ways as evil. To the initiate, "Seek always wisdom and understanding in the quest for truth & purity". Peace... |

Anas09: Of course, you do. And do you know why? Because your words reeks of spiritual abuse and in your own case, yours is verbal. You feel it is spiritual zeal or even spiritual maturity, but i tell you, you wrong. Let me tell you some characteristics of spiritual abuse that you and also Christians can become aware of. Observers, please take note. Spiritual abusers often: 1. Exploit the doctrine of our fallenness to accuse, berate, critique, attack, belittle, condemn or produce guilt in the victim. They may cultivate or take advantage of their victim’s conscientiousness in regards to moral matters in order to make them feel like the real problem is the victim’s inferior spirituality. They may make the victim feel like the only reason things aren’t better is because the victim is immature. 2. Exploit the doctrine of our fallenness to excuse or minimise the severity of their own behaviour. They may try to convince the victim that since everyone is sinful, their abuse is normal, and they shouldn’t expect anything different. 3. Exploit the doctrines of forgiveness and reconciliation to demand that a victim forgive the abuse, even if there has been no real repentance. They may pressure the victim to ‘move on’, as though any ongoing hurts are the result of ungodly bitterness or resentments. They may demand that forgiveness equate to the restoration of all the previous conditions of the relationship (including contact, communication and trust). 4. Use the busyness, stress, pressures or responsibilities of ministry to excuse abuse. Abusers may use ministry to excuse deliberate neglect of the victim. They may blame outbursts, aggression, physical violence, on the pressures of ministry, making the victim feel that they can’t critique the abuse without also critiquing a valuable ministry. 5. Use the Bible to justify abusive behaviour, and insinuate or explicitly state that if the victim understands the Bible differently, the difference of opinion is actually a product of sin. 6. Use their - apparently - sophisticated knowledge of the Bible to position themselves outside of the teaching and authority of church leaders. 7. Use the Christian community to protect the abuser, and isolate the victim. The abuser may make himself or herself vital to significant ministries, in turn making the victim feel responsible for their possible collapse if they revealed the abuse. They abuser may manipulate others so that they think highly of the abuser and think little of the victim, making the victim feel like they wouldn’t have any support if they did expose the abuse. The abuser might paint themselves as the long-suffering or patiently enduring partner of an erratic or dramatic or emotional woman (or child), undermining the victim’s credibility whilst underscoring theirs. 8. Lie to the victim about how they are regarded by the Christian community, isolating them from possible sources of support. 9. Isolate their victims socially, making excuses why the victim cannot participate in social or spiritual gatherings, and limiting their access to either information or support, or both. 10. Appeal to the work of evil spirits as explanations for the victim’s accusations or behaviour. 11. Attribute accusations against them to the work of Satan. 12. Use Bible passages about generosity to justify controlling the victim’s access to money. 13. Use Bible passages about faithfulness in marriage to justify limiting the victim’s social life. 14. Use Bible passages about rebuking to justify verbal abuse. 15. Use Bible passages about sexuality to justify rape and sexual assault. 16. Use Bible passages about unity to justify silencing the victim. I urge you to change my friend. Note : You are not the only one with a thick skin. I rest my case at these point, good night friend. |

ccarefulwind2:Lol. all dis victim card game na for me? Most of what i've been doing here is ask you questions which you refused to answer. You want us to have a discussion, but what i see here is an attempt by you to bring people in here and tell them what you want them to hear, without any input from them. Dat one na discussion? You called me into this thread to discuss Occult, when i asked why you'd call a Christian to discuss Occult, you said, there's nothing strange in Occult, as even Christendom is Occultic. My dear you've been making assertions here that if not probed, an ignorant person might believe you. The reason i gave out time to linger here is so that the spiritually lazy Christians won't read you and go off believing your Occult brothers who have stealthily walked into the Christian fold masquerading as Pastors to be true. Anything outside the Word of God and used within context, is satan trying to deceive. Now you accuse me of spiritual abuse. But, technically, you are the abuser here. You and your brother in other to justify your satanic activities, you resorted to bringing Christ into your darkness, by asserting all sort of ridiculousness. You said, pastors hide most deep Occultic Christian knowledge from their members but reveal them to the spiritually matured and to a few of their cronies. And, i asked who they were and if their teaching were Biblical, you dodged. Now you are attempted to black male me by making me feel guilty of something? lol. Sir, emotional blackmail does not work on me. I asked you who sat at the helm of Occult believers, i expected you to give me a name, again, you dodged. I expected that you'd be bold to say satan, and then go on to give me reasons why you choose to study him, but, you've tried to steer the discuss away from him intending to keep him hidden behind the scene. Typical of him. Sir, If you can't be open and proud of what you're doing, then chances are that, you've involved yourself in something bad. pls quit. I am a Christian and i will stand anywhere and shout it out. Not ashamed to call Christ my God. Why aren't you proud of satan tho? You can't seriously believe your allegiance is not to satan, do you? Stop feeling victimized biko. If anything, the victimization is coming from you Occults who do everything to destroy the faith of believers in Christ. 1 Like |

Brief Explanation regarding the Acquisition of the Occult Knowledge, for the public to grasp a little idea of what its all about. The Acquisition of Occult Knowledge The journey to acquire the secret knowledge of the ages involves the very transformation of one's being, which itself rests upon one's motives and the actions that flow from them. Indeed, the transformation is accomplished by the very means used to acquire knowledge, and the essence of the knowledge in question. There are two types of knowledge one must consider: 1) 'Book' knowledge - that obtained from learning; acquiring facts and figures for example. Such knowledge is allied to one's intellect. 2) Experiential Knowledge - that which is obtained from direct experience of something. Here, the word for knowledge in Greek is gnosis. To know something in this sense is to experience it. Now seeking esoteric knowledge is indeed a dynamic process. It involves one's initial character and pre-dispositions, capacity for intellectual contemplation, decision making, and the will as directs one to experience various states of being i.e. obtaining experiential knowledge (gnosis) of a transformative state. In consideration of the list given above then, the Occultist - as a rational actor - would ask himself the following (intellectual) question regarding any given practice: " If I do this; if I explore this area or experience this thing, will it purify, elevate or advance me, or will it pollute, contaminate or retard me? " This is a subtle point, and to explore it further one should consider the two sides or paths open to the initiate of The Mysteries. The Path of Darkness and the Path of Light. Regarding the above, to the aspiring Occultist, choose wisely. And to public, please read the above again closely, before you judge. Peace |
