Si esto es así, ¿por qué los Budas de todas las épocas -sin duda en posesión de la iluminación- consideraron necesario buscar la iluminación y dedicarse a la práctica espiritual?

• The exclusion of true esoteric religion has been the business of the State since ancient times. At first this was done via the establishment of the popular idealism of exoteric religious institutions in league with the State.

• Christian scholars often say that Sufi theories are close to those of Christianity. Many Moslems maintain that they are essentially derived from Islam.

The Islamic interpretation is that religion is of one origin, differences being due to local or historical causes.

• Tan poco han comprendido los primeros cristianos (que despojaron a los judíos de su Biblia) los cuatro primeros capítulos del Génesis en su significado esotérico, que nunca percibieron que no sólo no había pecado en esta desobediencia, sino que en realidad la "Serpiente" era "el Señor Dios" mismo, quien, como el Ophis, el Logos, o el portador de la sabiduría creadora divina, enseñó a la humanidad a convertirse en creadores a su vez.

• Magic is a set of techniques and approaches which can be used to extend the limits of Achievable Reality. Our sense of Achievable Reality is the limitations which we believe bind us into a narrow range of actions and successes - what we believe to be possible for us at any one time. In this context, the purpose of magic is to simultaneously explore those boundaries and attempt to push them back - to widen the 'sphere' of possible action.
