The initiates of all Occult Mystery Traditions taught that the universe is the periodical manifestation of the One Absolute Eternal Essence. In esoteric philosophy, this Unconditioned Absolute Principle "oscillates" cyclically between periods of Cosmic Activity, differentiation, & evolutionary manifestation and Cosmic periods of Total reabsorption, Absolute Rest, & Absolute Non-Being. Consequently, there are no beginnings or endings to the Cosmic Wheel of Time.
In Occultism, this ceaseless Cycle is referred as the Law of Periodicity, with all life descending and reascending in waves, of Re-Incarnation and differentiation.

The Sacred Traditions of esoteric philosophy retain the highest essence of divine wisdom ever received by humanity. They have long been protected by the Initiates of these Holy Mysteries and revered as the singular fountainhead of primordial wisdom. The teachings contained within Sacred Esoteric Traditions are highly elaborate, very abstract, spiritually scientific, exceedingly vast in scope, and generally difficult to comprehend.
They involve monumentally convoluted Cosmological Creation narratives, extensive philosophical delineations, detailed outlines of supersensible planes, occulted techniques for accessing altered states of consciousness, and systematic methodologies for experiencing nonmaterial aspects of the Cosmos.
Consequently, the Esoteric Systems are the core out of which all the many prominent Exoteric (mainstream) Religious Traditions have derived their doctrinal blueprints, divine inspiration, core concepts, moral foundations, spiritual rituals, higher wisdom, and beliefs of superphysical phenomenon.
In contrast to Esotericism, the Exoteric Religions' primary basis for generalized promulgation was to act as an insular, rudimentary outer shell veiling the inner esoteric teachings reserved for the Initiates of the Holy Adytum. This structural system was designed to safeguard the higher knowledge from dark occultic abuse or degeneration.

The Mystery traditions taught that the Cosmos acts according to Immutable, Eternal, and Absolute Occult NATURAL Laws. ALL Cosmic Phenomenon, whether a Being or Planet, are subject to these Laws of Manifestation within the Temporal Universe. Furthermore, these Universal Natural Laws are eternally active and operate absolutely independent of Humanity's knowledge of or belief in them, being in EFFECT regardless of Man's existence.
These Eternal, Omnipresent Laws are more commonly referred in Esotericism as the Seven Hermetic Principles and are the basis of Cosmic superstructures within manifested Reality. Consequently, a deep and comprehensive knowledge of their workings act as keys for unlocking Occult techniques for interaction with non-material phenomenon and Higher Planes, being an immense aid in the achieving Occult Self-Mastery.

The Initiates of the Sacred Mystery Traditions in antiquity remain unsurpassed, even today, in their deeply comprehensive mastery of High Occultism's secret Arcana. The Initiatory Wisdom held by these ancient Hierophants includes an experiential knowledge of the non-material planes, a thorough understanding of the 7 Natural Laws of Cosmic Manifestation, many profoundly powerful psychospiritual techniques, and power over their psychic & mental principles (bodies).
During the Pre-Christian Epoch, the Gnostic and Pagan Mysteries were widely practiced across eras and cultures, which manifested in a plethora of different Initiatory Schools. The Gnostic and Pagan Esoteric Traditions arose within centers of great sociocultural significance including Alexandrian Egypt, imperial Rome, Ancient Greece, old Persia, Babylon, Mysterious Chaldea, and Dynastic Egypt, to name a few.
The Hierophants and Adepts initiated into these Ancient Occult Traditions embodied the highest spiritual aspects of humanity. They were entrusted with the preservation of the Primordial Occult Knowledge handed down over the Ages, and theoir sacred initiates were ultimately charged with the task of guiding humanity's Spiritual Evolution during their Epoch.
Supersensible Worlds

In the esoteric philosophy, and Gnosticism, it is taught that our material plane is the ostensible, ultimate result born out of a highly complex chain of interpenetrative, intra-cosmic forces brought down into manifestation from higher planes of existence, ones imperceptible to our physical senses.
These Invisible planes are the structural, archetypal blueprints upon which the material world is generated. The entirety of our seemingly solid plane was manifested along archetypal lines of invisible, inter-etheric stresses emanating from these astral blueprints. We reside in the lowest and densest plane of the Cosmic superstructure.
Our plane ultimately comprises only a very tiny fraction of a much grander cosmic whole. The invisible structures undergirding our Solid Universe exist as interpenetrating layers of material densification. It begins at Pure Spirit and descends down into complete materialization, with most of it remaining imperceivable to our normal senses.

The Nature of the One God within Gnosticism is philosophically delineated using apophatic, negative, terminology instead of positivistic terminology. It is the Absolute Eternal Principle of Negativity, or Nothingness. Nothingness in the sense of all potentiality, without objectivity.

The macrocosmic process of differentiation through increasingly greater states of complexity from an initial point of pure spirit and simplicity is delineated through these 10 Sephiroth, their interconnectivity, and reflecting emanations. It also offers a profound microcosmic exposition of our gradations of superconsciousness reached at each stage of climbing the Sephirothic Tree through its 22 paths.

The Cycle of Reincarnation is a doctrine of general occultism & esoteric philosophy in these sacred traditions, essentially taught by every Esoteric School of Antiquity. It formed the basis for comprehending humanity's place in the world and explained the Ethics of Karma through re-ensoulment.
In the Esoteric Tradition this has been referred to as the Cycle of Necessity. Thereason for its necessity is the logical conclusion that a single lifespan was inherently inadequate and largely incapable of providing a spiritual being with enough time for acquiring any true degree of Knowledge, Growth, and eventually Wisdom from the unavoidable mistakes and errors one experiences during life.
General synopsis: Esoteric Philosophy and THe Occult
WHITE OCCULTISM
Occultism and Gnosticism have often been misconstrued, misrepresented, and ignorantly labeled either as intrinsically nefarious or inherently unscientific in nature. Yet both accusations could not be further from the truth in actuality. The least erroneous definition of Occultism is simply denoted as: a scientifically specialized spiritual investigation of inexplicable psychospiritual manifestations, an experiential exploration of the supersensible planes, super-physical Laws of the Cosmos, Pre-Cosmic Cosmology, and all related higher-dimensional phenomenon left unresolved by materialistic scientism. Furthermore, Occultists demystify the methodologies and intricacies of the Seven Natural Laws of Cosmic Differentiation, reducing their archetypal energies & patterns into usable tools for growth.
Moreover, Occult Adepts rigorously catalogue and research the universal laws of material densification and physical manifestation in order to comprehend all the myriad phenomenon incapable of being resolved through scientific materialist reductionism, logic, or reason. They spend years studying these Natural Law and their vibrational superstructures, so that the occultist is capable of safely drawing down undifferentiated forces (or pre-cosmic essence) from the Unconditioned Absolute Principle (root pre-Cosmic substance) into active manifestation for facilitating, incubating, and guiding humanity's spiritual evolutionary development.
They accomplish these feats through the psychospiritual, and astral-etheric techniques derived from a deep study of the unique metaphysical glyph depicting Ten Sephirothic Spheres of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. These 10 Sephiroth Spheres are states of microcosmic and macrocosmic existence depicting the unfolding, involuting emanations of Deity expressed as descending levels of activity, consciousness, and densification. The Ten Sephiroth are the interconnective and interoperative poles of Force and Matter that incrementally organize the Universe through continuously re-equilibrated cosmic forces.
A True Occultist only utilizes such forces in order to augment their states of self-consciousness transmuting them into states of higher super consciousness utilized to work upon their unconscious mind, shadow-self, and psychological disharmonies. This empowers the adept with a capacity to operate his 7 bodies synergistically able to effectively neutralize the detrimental, degrading influences emanating from their lower self. A Tue Occultist's life path is to become a benign teacher morally guiding the human race as a purveyor of the occulted knowledge regarding the mysteries of Cosmos and Humanity.
Ancient Gnosticism
Gnosticism is composite terminology for various occult schools of spiritual, theological, philosophical, and naturalist thought in Antiquity whose initiates imbibed psychedelic brews for purposive mystical experiences to unveil the unseen world and guide mankind's spiritual development.
However, unity did not exactly permeate among the various branches of Occult Gnostic thought which arose at that time in History with several sects diverging on particular cosmological points. Yet, though diverse in their promulgation of theosophical ideations, overall these differentiated groups of Mystical intellectuals were the epitome of the Ancients' Academia overseeing the evolution of human thought at the best Universities of their Age, such as in Alexandria with Hypatia.
Unfortunately for the World, the Christians in their ignorant fanaticism razed their temples to the ground, burned untold amounts of pivotal knowledge, and in a genocidal rampage murdered every Enlightened teacher. The resulting historical repercussions have been to alienate our species from its primordial origins, its divine endowments, a sybiotic rappor with our Mother Gaia-Sophia, and lead us on a devolutionary path away from our spiritual nature and a descent into chaos
GNOSIS: PATH OF Initiation
The Path of Gnosticism had an ancient psychological method which was exercised by transmutation and harmonization of one's inner principles, through equilibrating their polarities. This Gnosis was derived from a plethora of Mystery Traditions diffused throughout the Pre-Christian Nations of antiquity, from Alexandrian Egypt to the Far East. The fundamental unfoldment into Gnosis was accomplished through an internally directed process of spiritual growth, expanded states of consciousness, secret communal initiation rituals into states of ecstatic trance, and development of occult techniques for investigating the nonphysical realms.
It was this specialized, secret occult process of spiritually augmenting one's capacities to pierce the Veils of ISIS (Zero points that divided planes) drawing it aside to interact with the Occult realm. Consequently, the advancement of one's psychic, astral, and mental powers along their corresponding paths enabled the Occult initiate to progressively master these higher planes and his own nature (or essence).
The Neophyte progresses until he achieved initiation into the highest secrets & extra cosmic knowledge possessed by the hierophants of his Order. Upon the completion of his Orders Highest Degrees of Spiritual Mastery, the individual is declared a Master Adept of the Occult Sciences.
Ultimately, if a TRUE MASTER, one is invariably propelled onwards towards his divine septenary principle transmuting the last fragments of his base physicality enabling his 7th Monadic principle (Atma) to manifest a primal Akashic link between him and the Eternal, Undifferentiated Quintessence becoming reabsorbed into the Absolute Principle from which he originally emanated.
Western ESOTERICISM
The Western Occult Tradition dates far back into antiquity so far its nigh indeterminable, likely originating in the Atlantean age. Regardless, the ancient tradition, with its esoteric philosophy, included prominent individual thinkers such as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, and Simon Magus as well as many others whose ideas formed the basis for modern western scientific, spiritual, and philosophical thought.
-Modern occultism includes semi-secret initiatory schools and philosophical movements such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Rosicrucian Scool, the Theosophical Society, The Society of the Inner Light, Free Masonry, and Anthroposophy.
-Contemporary occultists credited with reviving these profound ideas include Manly P. Hall, John Lamb Lash, Dion Fortune, Israel Regardie, Rudolf Steiner, H.P. Blavatsky, and William W. Atkinson, Arthur Edward Waite, Samuel MacGregor Mathers, and Eliphas Levi. It is due to the magnificent and dedicated endeavors of these sagacious individual that the contemporary student has access to the prolific, extensive, and essential information required to delve into these arcane topics that were highly inaccessible in their era.
A sacred path
Gnosticism, Occultism, and Christian Occultism are the very fountain from which springs humanity's knowledge relating to our ethical & moral perceptions into Natural Laws driving Kosmic interactivity between all highly sentient, self-perceiving, and spiritually conscious Life-Forms. The Ancient Hierophants discovered that within in Cosmos existed an Akashic principle essentially guiding the reciprocal networks activated by a Life-Forms instigation of a moral or immoral action undertaken within manifested universe.
Likewise, they realized that its existence was logically necessitated in order to imbue the Cosmos with a continual and rhythmic equilibrium among the chaos exhibited in the worlds of Advanced conscious beings. It activates positive harmonic resonances with the First Principle (Logos), and on a smaller scale provide a beneficial, reciprocal relationship with our celestial mother & Planetary Environment, Gaia-Sophia.
The Secrets Teachings of these pivotal schools of thought with their inherent natural reciprocity for cosmic harmony and organic equilibrium among all life, must in our decadent Age be rekindled if we are to survive our current global chaos. Our Society in the 21st century has thus exhibited the ultimate nightmarish characteristics of a species in total spiritual darkness and an utterly truncated understanding of our place in the natural world order required to symbiotically coexist with our animal brethren. It is due to our deviance from our intrinsically divine nature in conjunction with materialistic withdrawal from the latent higher-self that our species as a whole has manifested such an unnatural, unethical, disaffected, and tumultuous world society
Principles of Natural Law
The seven hermetic principles are the fundamental, primordial foundation of cosmic manifestation. These seven-fold Laws underly and sustain the Archetypal Superstructures of the periodical manifestation of the Manvantaric Cycles. These pre-cosmic principles are the substratum sustaining the processes of involution and evolution eternally emanated by the Incognizable Absolute, ParaBrahma. They are also expressed within the fragmentary scrolls of the Western Corpus Hermeticum and its esoteric philosophy.
These form a keystone for the comprehension of our Western Esoteric Tradition and initiation into the sacred rites of the Gnostic, Egyptian, and Occult initiatory knowledge.
Spiritual Regeneration
In essence, Spiritual Occultism is realized through incrementally progressive phases of deep, sophisticated meditative practice. Occult Meditative development runs concurrently to a unique process of inner alchemical transmutation of one's innate personal, moral, emotional, and energetic flaws & blocks.
Consequently, one's advancing meditative practice, degree of internal self-mastery, proficiency with intricate visualization techniques, and their depth of apperception (by years of intense philosophical study) into the Principles of Natural Law will in their synthesis as a holistic discipline eventually determine One's quality & pace of spiritual development.
The Divine Feminine
The Terrestrial Realm in which we reside as an intelligent spiritually endowed species is one that was energetically designed by the Aeon Sophia in the Pleroma (Divine Realm). Her archetypal blueprint for our world was divinely, lovingly inspired for our specific evolution towards spiritual ascendance. Due to Cosmic error on her part and highly anomalous circumstances, the Aeon Sophia herself descended into the lower realms of chaos and morphed into our world habitat. Thus, Sophia became Gaia and we live on the body of a Goddess.
The genome of the Anthropos (Humanity) was an emanation by Aeon Sophia, now Gaia, and the enormity of this celestial circumstance is a true blessing for our species. Yet many are entirely ignorant of this benignly unique experience in which we have found ourselves.
Consequently, our modern civilization has forgotten our true Mother. The resulting ignorance of our realm and origins has allowed us to systematically engage in the exploitation, decimation, and adulteration of our divine ecosystem and body of our Maternal benefactor. Only true knowledge can extricate us from this descent into celestial insanity.
Power Elite Matrix of Control
-We live in an occulted, obfuscated reality, one truly stranger than fiction. Our world manifests as two streams, the first is the one we have all been taught to believe in through mainstream religion, politics, education, and scientific materialism. The second one is the majestic higher dimensional one lying unseen but long held in the esoteric philosophy. Due to indoctrination from established institutions and concerted programs of dissuasion, we have been led to believe this one doesn't exist, is outlandish woowoo, and superstitious pseudo-religious nonsense unfit for educated westerners.
-However, deeply hidden beneath these veils of deceptive authoritarian indoctrination resides a monumentally grander cosmos than the reductionist, constricted reality presented to us by Civilization. This includes the presence of Universal Natural Laws hidden from our everyday perceptions and experiences that, once discovered, greatly expand our perspectives, abilities, and understanding of our place in the wider Universal stream.
-This grander truth is the concept of a universal source of reality, the Absolute Unmanifested Essence expressed as an unconditioned, pre-cosmic, undifferentiated, and eternal CAUSE within which we exist, collectively co-creating our evolving reality utilizing our innate divine creative principle referred to by the Sages of Gnosticism as Nous or Divine Mind.
