97. They took away the Lord

As we mentioned earlier, both the religious and backstage powers have tasked us with regaining the Lord within ourselves, finding Him in our universality, so that we can help ourselves and others see clearly, and break through the armour of the backstage powers. To see behind the curtains and receive meaningful answers about regaining the Lord, we must ask and answer several questions. For example: 

1). Who and why was it in their interest to take away the Lord? Our Initiation Master has always been taken away, expropriated, and placed into service for power and material wealth. In the relationship between the masses, the people, and the power, there is a concrete rule: power always lives off the masses, but not for the masses. Thus, the interests of the power clash with the interests of the people. Since the average person is incapable of self-governance, someone—such as the state, institutionalized religious powers, or the apparatus—had to lead them, or more precisely, deceive the people in line with their own power interests. The powers presented their interests to the people as if they were the people’s interests. Furthermore, they managed to convince the masses that the solution they offered was always the best one. This manipulation rule has been in place for centuries, such as the idea that the most capable politician is the one most frequently mentioned in the news, or the car most heavily advertised. 

To deceive the ignorant person through dogmas and mainstream thinking, keeping them in lies, it was also successfully believed over centuries that they were incapable of completing the tasks entrusted to them by the One and Only, and that only through intermediaries—such as religious or backstage power structures—could they access their own abilities. Thus, religious power promised forgiveness of sins, and backstage power promised job creation and consumerism. Neither power ever explained that all of this existed to ensure the survival of the power itself. To achieve the dark, individualistic goals of the apparatus, the image and likeness of the One, the man, had to be kept in ignorance and, especially, fear. By the 17th and 18th centuries, our ignorant ancestors had reached the point of replacing the One and Only with the material person, thereby establishing the era of humanism and scientific, liberal, lasting atheism and materialism. In our essay “The invisible hand", we made reference to the Communist Manifesto, which introduced manipulation and whose ideology we now live as our reality.

2). How, by what means, was the Lord taken away? Before secularization, the religious apparatus succeeded in maintaining the crisis state over several centuries by means of a dogma (rule) system it had developed, its hierarchical apparatus, and its authorities. Through the betrayal and expropriation of the One and Only, the preaching of moral and ethical behaviour, the adherence to the Ten Commandments, and the acceptance of sins at the Synod of Trent, it was able to perpetuate a state of crisis. From the Enlightenment, known as such by the Illuminates, onward, with sleep-inducing tactics, sinking into materialism, spreading liberal worldviews and ideas, rational thinking, and the continuous confusion of the concepts of mind and intellect, psychology, and mainstream thinking further worsened the chances of the person desiring awakening.

3). How can we regain the Lord? Naturally, by decoding and interpreting the teachings and messages of our Initiation Master, understanding them transcendentally, and applying them in our daily lives. Our Initiation Master entrusted universal knowledge to the teachers He trained, primarily to His disciples. A common question regarding the disciples is why our Initiation Master entrusted His teachings to simple, ignorant people? Perhaps, because these people had the receptivity, or in other words, the open universal "I" and the desire for identification and knowing. They wanted to be disciples who bear witness to their Master. What connected the Master and the disciples was the transmission and reception of the teachings, and the longing for universality. Secondly, He entrusted His teachings to those who could comprehend the essence and meaning of them, as He said, "let him who has ears hear." The disciples who heard the teachings first-hand knew the Lord personally. 

For those of us who did not have the opportunity to meet the Lord personally, our path remains to know Him through intellect. We may always regret that we were not there among the twelve. But since the teaching is eternal, we can still partake in it if, through our intellect, we can strip away the superficialities that our predecessors placed upon the teachings for power purposes, thereby obscuring the essence. It is not an easy task, because it first requires the realization that our Master did not entrust the teaching to institutions, to the power apparatus, to the self-selected, or to any changing religion or state, but to the disciples, to us, the people who follow Him. It follows from this that the teaching is personal, and therefore no intermediary is necessary. The teaching never aimed, and still does not aim, to establish a religion, because the teaching is constant, whereas religions are variable. Only the ignorant person who appropriated the teaching thought that it could only be safe if it was in their hands. The expropriation of the teaching, the misunderstanding of its universality, and the transmission of this misunderstanding have, among other things, led to our current ignorance. 

We must realize that the teachings of our Initiation Master are about us, and for us, the disciples. They are not about the institution or of the institution, not about the apparatus or of the apparatus, not about the church or of the church, because these official entities represent the power that maintains the system of constraints and rules for their own benefit. The Lord can be regained by each person individually within themselves, if they are able to become a disciple. Everyone has been invited to regain the Lord for themselves and/or others, meaning to find the Lord, their universal "I," within themselves, and thereby bear witness to Him. In religious terms: "every believer has been entrusted with the task of bearing witness." The Lord is within everyone, and we know—not just believe—that we can regain the Lord. The Lord is regained through knowledge, self-awareness, consciousness, and not through religious faith.
