The whole life is composed of two basic aspects: mundane and occult. The mundane is what everyone can see and interact with. The occult is a deeper layer of interaction which requires personal transformation to be perceived.

This structure is nothing special or unique. It is present everywhere. In all jobs, there is a “mundane” phase, anyone can do it, and an “occult” phase that is only available to those who are true professionals and who are fascinated with the job. A gardener may be a simple trader (mundane), or a lover of plants who understands their language and can interact with them (occult). Most doctors in hospitals are mundane, and patients feel it and try to avoid them, seeking those with whom they have this special connection (occult).

This is the structure of this life. There is nothing wrong with it or bad about it. You don’t want to have mundane people in your life. You live beside them, but there is no real mutual understanding. Once this happens, people fall in love with each other - and love is the occult equivalent of mundane relations.

Marriages fall apart because the spouses are not aware of this stages in their perception. Falling in love is the bridge between the mundane (just friends) and the occult (the two of us together are more important than we are separately). Falling in love is only an invitation to explore deeper meanings of life - the ones that are not available to people who do not know love and do not let themselves be transformed by love. When this invitation is not kept alive, spouses fall back to their pre-marriage separate lives, reject the experiences from the transformation stage, and the relationship starts to erode. The occult - perceiving the deeper aspects of life and carrying them into daily routines - is the essence of this life.

The occult works on a personal level only. It is a relationship between me and me. When this transformation is used to manage other people without their knowledge, awareness or consent, it is no longer occult. It becomes evil.

The difference is tremendous.

Unfortunatly the government is used to destroy people. It is essentially organizedcrimee with a cloak of legitimacy. But they decide what is a crime or not. When they do it its's not a crime. When you do it, it's a crime.

The statue of Attis featured in the article reminds me of the Statue of Liberty.

While I'm not an expert on Steiner, I do believe that he emphasizes that the rites and ceremonies of the past will not "work" for modern man. While he expresses a reverence for the past he encourages forging new methods of connecting with the Divine.... and i have not found any lecture or writing where this involves drug use. He often encourages people to strengthen their individuality through mental discipline, reverence for life, and being generally "wide awake". That being said, I am open to more information .... I have only been involved with his work over the past year or so.

'Mounting evidence has indicated that drugs, sexual excesses, mixtures of torture/radical withholding of bodily needs (followed by release) played major roles in this initiation.'

'Oh yeah? Show me some of this 'mounting evidence'..

Wasson major and Wasson minor might both have written about the mystery cults and let their imaginations run riot. But serious students of the Ancient Mystery Cults like Walter Burkert do not mention such things at all and frankly his work is much more grounded in scholarship than the sensation-seeking work of the Wassons.

I've seen very little real evidence to support their claims or the claims you make - except of course from early Christian propagandists whose testimonies are dubious to say the very least and specifically aimed at discrediting all traditions other than that of their Nazarene.

Matt — you have me going in so many directions these days, half my open windows are just your recent offers that I need to catch up on. But however deep and wide, & wherever they take us, it all connects. — & fills in my own lifetime of experience & hack ADD-infused research. A master teacher’s touch! Thank you!

PS- I found this pdf of Wasson & Hoffmans book today whilst on a totally different quest …that just happened to cut a trail here. Funny how that works! : https://maps.org/images/pdf/books/eleusis.pdf
