The Forbidden Teachings
Preface
The Forbidden Teachings series (born out of the "Life and Death" project) has been, and will remain, a special project close to my heart. It's my chance to humbly lay before you a map of a few things: the historical chronology that was banned from reading and pushed outside the law, the esoteric meaning hidden in the writings that became religions and laws, a deep and comprehensive understanding of the human psyche, and true alchemy. This is the alchemy you can apply to free our essence from the external and internal shackles of the Matrix's operating system.
Throughout history, many religions tried to destroy this knowledge and all evidence that it ever existed. And still it survived, because secret esoteric currents carried it and kept it hidden. Unfortunately, even today it is scattered, fragmented, and incomplete. It isn't explained all the way through, and it doesn't get the attention it deserves. At the same time, the failure to understand it is exactly what anchors and drives every ideological war and every human conflict. It seems humanity still hasn't absorbed the radical meaning of these teachings. It hasn't grasped how deeply they undermine every basic assumption about reality, and every ideology we have held onto with blind zealotry and called "truth."
Information isn't just words. It's much more than that: it's energy that changes lives. People shape their lives based on the information they take in. Today most of them automatically inherit traditional values, and the half-truths inside them, under the patronage of the state and its biological agents, meaning the family. Few show curiosity, and even fewer learn to think for themselves instead of through the social filter. The secret is knowing how to take in new information without resisting it, and at the same time not turning it into a cult, a religion, or a fanatical, limiting ideology.
The aim of this volume is to lay before you the forbidden knowledge that the authorities and institutions chose to hide for more than fifteen hundred years. In my view, any information the establishment tries to hide from the public is worth digging into and investigating. That's why this book was written: to expose the secrets, the events, and the missing history that no one wants to talk about. These are the teachings that Judaism and Christianity chose to remove from the canon early on. The canon is the official collection of books of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, and whatever stayed in it, they edited with a heavy hand.
What has reached us are remnants of edited information, a distorted chronology, half-stories, and zero alchemy of development and transformation. In other words, the religions distorted history to serve political interests and cut out the inner technology built into us. Science, for its part, chose to ignore this knowledge entirely and to deny its legitimacy. So we're left in a situation where every civilization holds one small piece of the puzzle and mistakes it for the whole picture.
Religion shrank the trinity of spirit, soul, and body by dropping spirit and alchemy from the teachings. Whether it's Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or even the institutional streams of Buddhism, neither the religious public nor the scientific public has woken up psychologically to this day. Each faction clings zealously to its own ideology and at the same time fights every other point of view. So we find ourselves facing masses of believers who didn't adopt their faith through insight and independent inner inquiry. They received it from the social norm, from the era and the culture they were born into.
Religions were supposed to be the ultimate bridge to consciousness, to connection with God, and to receiving higher light. In practice, they lead their believers nowhere. They have no tools for healing and no esoteric understanding. People recite verses literally, without knowing anything about their hidden meanings. Religions have become a tool that serves interests, politics, and control. They have also become a business service where you buy redemption and blessing for a fortune. This service is run by people who flaunt titles that are supposed to bring them closer to God, but those titles have never brought anyone closer to God.
Religion removed spirit and alchemy from the trinity, and science narrowed the range from soul and body down to body alone. Mainstream science isn't interested in metaphysics, and it studies even the psyche only through what can be measured, seen, or grasped with empirical tools. But there are so many inner layers in us that are essential to the human experience, like emotion or thought. You can't measure a thought physically. At most, you can detect electromagnetic changes in the brain or secretions from endocrine glands. But what does any of that tell us about the content of the thought? Nothing.
And yet thought exists. Not only does it exist, it takes up most of our waking hours. The body stands among physical objects, but in our heads we are somewhere else entirely. And it doesn't stop there. Everything we experience in thought affects us emotionally, and everything that affects us emotionally also affects the decisions we make in that moment. All it takes is a few seconds and one bad decision born from a faulty thought, and our lives change. And it works the other way too.
So how does something this significant slip past us so easily? We have the best medical equipment there is, and still mainstream medicine struggles to treat psychological problems. Doctors answer with medication, but when it comes to the psyche, medication treats symptoms and has never solved the problems themselves. Meanwhile, psychological problems are often the root that leads to physical illness. Why does this happen? Why do we keep acting so irrationally in every area, from health and security to economics and education? Why do we keep going when our actions hurt us again and again? The answers are right in front of us, waiting for us to notice them, and we ignore them completely.
My answer to you, as you'll discover throughout the pages of this book, is not an easy one. It won't bring comfort, contentment, or relief, but it isn't here to frighten you or sentence you to an apocalyptic fate either. It's my inner truth. And truth has a built-in tendency to be uncomfortable. Sometimes it's so uncomfortable that we can't contain it, and it takes apart our basic assumptions about reality. Sometimes truth is so strong and so uncompromising that it simply pulls the ground out from under your feet. That's the moment you discover that the solid ground you thought was protecting you is really a rickety plank. We're sure the structure of belief protects us, but it all collapses at the first gust of wind. In other words, a contradiction in ideology amounts to an existential crisis.
If an existential crisis is the price you have to pay to free yourself from a one-dimensional ideology and discover a deeper inner truth, it's a price worth paying. It will destroy your old world, but it will give you something far more precious in return. Not a new religion to fight for, but a return to a consciousness of sovereignty and inner authority. You can't receive the new without tearing down the old. Preserving tradition is a beautiful thing, but even preserves have an expiration date. Without noticing and without using judgment, people choose to preserve negative aspects just because they're part of the tradition, even when those aspects harm them and others.
This book was built and written for you, because my role in life is to be an "architect and tailor," whether I'm researching knowledge and practicing alchemy or building models for policy and legislation. But I'm not an architect of physical buildings, and I'm not a tailor of clothes either. My architecture is building metaphysical structures of knowledge that create understanding and transformation. Alongside the architecture, there's the tailoring, meaning the tactical fitting. My tailoring philosophy is syncretic. Syncretism means taking the best models and tools and welding them together. That's how a new understanding is born, along with tools more effective than those of the philosophies and practices that came before it. My garment doesn't fit everyone, but it will open new potential for you in the least expected places in your life. The change happens drop by drop. Each chapter opens a door to new understandings and insights, and they translate themselves into a new psychology.
Before we set out, I want to be clear about what's in front of you. This is not a history book, and it's not a translation of ancient writings. It's my chronological interpretation of the story of existence, from the Cosmic Night to the human being who wakes up inside the Matrix. This interpretation was built from years of esoteric research, and above all from direct, daily experience with the human psyche: my own, and that of the hundreds of people I've accompanied. Each chapter rests on ancient sources, like the Nag Hammadi writings and the Kabbalah; on later traditions, like Theosophy and Gurdjieff's teaching; and on other writings that were hidden away or pushed to the margins. But the chapters don't copy these sources. They join them into a single synthesis and pass it through my lens. Where the sources are silent or contradict one another, I chose not to wait for outside approval. I completed the picture from what I saw and tested in inner work.
So that you can find your way through this synthesis, I set myself one writing rule and kept it throughout the book. When I write "the text says" or "the work says," that's what appears in the source. When I write "one can read here," that's a reading the source allows, even if its authors didn't necessarily intend it. And when I write "I suggest," that's my own path. The same goes for the models you'll meet in the chapters, like the five cylinders of the human machine. They aren't taken from the ancient writings. They're tools I built, inspired by Gurdjieff, to translate the myth into inner work. The sources themselves often disagree: on the number of heavens, on the names of the rulers, on the order of creation. I don't hide that. I just show you, at every point, what ground you're standing on.
The tools you'll receive along the way aren't a goal in themselves either. They're scaffolding. You build with them, you lean on them as long as the inner structure can't yet stand on its own, and when the day comes, you take them down. Whoever clings to the scaffolding after the house is built turns the tool into one more ideology, and that's exactly what this book wants to free you from.
So don't read this book the way you'd read a textbook. Read it as a map. It isn't meant to replace your path, but to light it up.
