Humankind has access to a multitude of occult disciplines that when practiced result in the development of increased spiritual awareness; however, practicing these disciplines in an environment of extreme materialism is like having one’s head bashed against a wall and then taking aspirin to relieve the pain. Wouldn’t it be better to not have one’s head bashed against the wall?
These occult disciplines include Yoga, Tai Chi, and Chi Gong, which along with practices from the Toltecs of Mexico, the Hopis of North America, and various South American and African cultures constituted an integral part of the daily routines of the indigenous people who had developed them, rather than serving as palliatives to the effects of an unnatural lifestyle as they do in the Western or Honkey world.
The basis of honkeyism is gross materialism and for it to regard something as true it must be replicated in a laboratory or in some material arena. Materialism becomes God, it dictates what is true and what isn’t.
Since materialism has become God, the acquisition and ownership of material things indicates the development of godly power. Money, which acts as the vehicle for measuring material accumulation, serves as the basis for evaluating one’s competence and value to society.
Children are told to study hard, get a good job, make a lot of money and become somebody. Women are lured out of the home with the same enticement but through more sophisticated communications activities.
Money also becomes the vehicle used to correct all the problems of society.
To combat poor academic performance more money is spent on modern instructional equipment, better paid teachers, and improved curricula; to reduce crime more money is spent on law enforcement, security, and surveillance; to protect the environment more money is spent on reclaiming wildlife refuges, developing alternate forms of energy and enacting new environmental protection laws; and to combat poor health more money is spent on the development of sophisticated drugs, high-tech medical equipment, and intricate surgical procedures.
The result of this ever increasing expenditure has produced children (and adults) who can’t read or count; increased levels of crime, especially fatal and body deforming occurrences; an increase of all categories of environmental pollution; and increased numbers of chronic ailments, stress related diseases, and reproductive malfunction.
Every societal issue that money had been thrown at continues to deteriorate and at an increasing rate.
The Western populace has become increasingly aware of these conditions and instinctively seeks some form of solace to alleviate the angst that this awareness creates, hence it delves into occult practices that are not available to it from within; however engaging in these practices without addressing the fundamental issue of gross materialism in which they engage will produce a dichotomy of activity resulting in mental confusion.
Working all day with a focus on earning money, profits, the bottom line, investments based on material gain, financial planning, and financial needs of the individual and then devoting a portion of time in the morning or evening or on weekends to meditate and study matters spiritual with others results in a dual lifestyle that might offer near-term solace ( such as taking aspirins for the head bashings) but will change little long-term. Evidence of this is the growth of New-age activities into a multi-billion dollar industry while marriage, religious participation, and marital fidelity have decreased, and unwed motherhood, divorce and adultery have increased.
Spiritual growth does not require gimmicks; instead it requires an awareness of matters unseen, an understanding of gender, and the development of family as the focal point of society. Spirituality requires living it from when we awaken to when we go to bed. It can include New Age philosophy (which is really ancient wisdom) or it can focus on the religion in which you were raised.
Spirituality is not compatible with honkey values and its materialistic lifestyle. To achieve spiritual growth requires living outside of the materialistic confines of honkeyism. It might require settling for less income, fewer material possessions, and less ostentatious conduct. It could entail sharing your time, talents, and treasures with others. It will require a change in lifestyle; then participating in occult practices will become a part of that new lifestyle instead of serving as an escape from it. The need for treating the occult as a spiritual aspirin will pass.
