CONCLUSION
EXPLORING THE CONCEPT OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Do you think you have got a monopoly on God? The world population census is over 8 billion, with at least 6.5 billion religious people, including prayers. Why should God answer your prayer or treat you as a favourite over the other 6.5 billion people? Why do you think you are special? Have you ever wondered why your prayers sometimes stayed unanswered, all the time or a few times?
These apply to people of different faiths incorporating denominations. Have you ever questioned your faith, or even as far as to change religion or denomination? What mental power does your modern-day Pastor, Reverend, Imam, Mullah, Priest, Bishop, Guru, Prophet, or Pope have over you? Religious books in the hands of confused holy men are like a loaded sub-machine gun that has claimed many victims and will continue to do so.
What are the answers or the answers? If you are looking for magic, we are sorry to disappoint you. If you are seeking logic, well, come on in. We will break all the answers to all these questions into bite-size; by using history, religion, philosophy, occultism, and psychology. The word Bible came from the Greek word Biblos, derived from the Egyptian word Papyrus, paper or book.
In ancient Egypt lived Champions and Masters never surpassed, and seldom equalled, during the centuries that have taken their processional flight since the days of the Great Hermes. Thoth was the first and oldest teacher of knowledge in human history. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks called him the God of Wisdom. Thoth was the author of The Emerald Tablets.
THE KYBALION AND HERMETIC PRINCIPLES
The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding"— The Kybalion. From old Egypt comes the fundamental esoteric and occult teachings that strongly influenced the philosophies of all races, nations, and peoples for several thousand years. Egypt, the home of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, was the birthplace of Hidden Wisdom and Mystic Teachings. From her Secret Doctrine, all nations have borrowed.
 |
| The Eight Principles of the Natural Laws |
The Kybalion is the oldest constitution of religious concepts. Let us begin with the Eight Natural Laws of Truth for all things created. The Kybalion is the mystical literature that every human being must possess. It is a crucial literature in Alchemy and more important than all the revered holy books. And when the eight principles in the Kybalion are understood and applied with devotion, prosecuting the game of life from the top is attainable.
THE EIGHT NATURAL LAWS OF TRUTH
The Eight Natural Laws of Truth in the Kybalion are Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, Gender and CARE, and the encapsulation of the seven.
The principle of Mentalism specifies that the universe is mental and all things in the cosmos reside in the mind of All.
The principle of Correspondence is that what was unknown will become knowable by applying what we know.
The principle of vibration is that everything vibrates, even though visually imperceptible.
The principle of Polarity is that everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; hot and cold are the same.
The principle of Rhythm asserted the pendulum of life involved high and low, conquest and defeat, and inflow and outflow.
The principle of Cause and Effect ascertains that it is better to cause your effect than to be affected by the causations of others.
The principle of Gender is that every human has a masculine and feminine part in their brain and the power of creation on the physical plain.
The principle of CARE encapsulates the other seven, and without it, nothing will manifest.
Mofield of Alchest truths are half-false, and most falsehoods are a half-truth. Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are half-truths. All paradoxes are reconcilable.
THE HERMETIC PHILOSOPHY
Understanding and practising these principles enable any human being to play the game of life successfully. Even to this day, we use the term hermetic in the sense of secret, sealed so that nothing can escape; etc., and this is because the followers of Hermes always observed the principle of secrecy in their teachings.
 |
| The Emerald Tablets of Thoth |
They did not believe in casting pearls before swine but held to the teaching of milk for babes; and meat for strong men, both of which maxims are familiar to readers of the Christian scriptures.
The Egyptians incorporated both for centuries before the Christian era. And this policy of careful dissemination of the truth has always characterised Hermetics, even currently.
The Hermetic Teachings are in all lands, among all religions. However, it has never identified with any particular country or religious sect.
It is because of the warning of the ancient teachers against allowing the Secret Doctrine to become crystallised into a creed. The wisdom of this caution is apparent to all students of history.
But there were always a few faithful souls who kept alive the Flame, tending it carefully and not allowing its light to become extinguished. And thanks to these staunch hearts, and fearless minds, we have the truth still with us. However, it is not found in the religious dogma of books.
PROPHECIES OF DJEHUITI, THOTH, HERMES, OR TEHUTI
Pure philosophy is spiritual striving through constant contemplation to attain the veritable knowledge of One-God Atum (concept of the divine Creator). But, now in philosophy, in times to come, no one will pursue philosophy with single-mindedness and purity of heart. Those with grudging and ungenerous temperaments will prevent humans from discovering the priceless gift of immortality.
To love Atum in thought with a single-mindedness of the heart and follow the goodness of his will, is the essence of philosophy, unsullied by intrusive cravings for pointless opinions. But in times to come, clever, deceitful and uncandid intellectuals will mislead the minds of human beings away from pure philosophy. They will assert that our sacred devotion is ineffectual and that the sincere piety, uncandid, and sedulous service with which Kemetians honour Atum is waste without reward.
Kemet is an image of the heavens, and the cosmos dwells in its sanctuary. But, the gods will desert earth and return to heaven, abandoning the land that once stood as the home of spirituality. Kemet will be forsaken and desolate, bereft of the presence of the gods, overrun by foreigners that will neglect our sacred ways. Kemet is the holy land of temples and shrines, now full of corpses and funerals. The sacred Nile swelled with blood, and her waters fouled with gore.

| The Ogdoad |
Does this make you weep? There is worse to follow: This land was a spiritual teacher to all humankind, loved the gods with such devotion that they deigned to sojourn on earth, will exceed others in cruelty. The dead will outnumber the living, and the surviving Kemetian will be like men of another race. O Kemet! Nothing will remain of your religion but tall tales, which even your children refused to believe. Nothing left about your wisdom but old graven stone.
THE BEING OF ATUM (THE LIGHT IN OUR MIND)
The cosmos is the image of Atum; all goodness because it is also good. Bequeath me your awareness, and concentrate your thoughts, for the intelligence of Atum's existence requires deep insight, which comes as the gift of grace. The conception of Atum is complicated, and to define him is impossible. The imperfect and the impertinent cannot apprehend the eternally perfected. Atum is whole and constant, and he is motionless yet self-moving. Atum is immaculate, incorruptible and everlasting.
Atum is light, the eternal source of energy, and the everlasting dispenser of life. Once power is dispenced, unending cosmic laws manage the supply. The cosmos' existence is within infinite energy. It is energy from which life issues, so it can't stop or be prone to destruction. It is contained and bound together by a timeless life force. The cosmos dispenses this life to all things within it.
SHINTOISM AND SHINTO TEXTS
 |
| Shinto Texts |
The Holy books of Shinto include the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), the Nihon shoki, or Nihon-gi (Chronicles of Japan), the Kogoshūi (Gleanings of Ancient Works), and the Engi Shiki (Institutes of the Engi Period). These books are compilations of ancient myths and traditional teachings. And are orally passed on.
Shinto means the way of the gods. Shintoism is an Ancient religion in Japan. It started around 1000 BCE but is still practised today by at least five million people. The followers of Shintoism believe that spiritual powers exist in the natural world.
Shinto has no founder or sacred scriptures like the sutras or the Bible. Propaganda and preaching are uncommon because Shinto is deeply rooted in the Japanese people and traditions. "Shinto gods" are called Kami.
TAOIST PHILOSOPHY
 |
| The Ying and Yang |
According to Lao Tzu, The unnameable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from craving, you realise the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and materialisation arise from the same source. This source is the mother of all secrets and the gateway to all understanding. The Tao is called the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds.
Purification is a must to reach this state of receptiveness to the energy around us. It is the essential process of alchemy. To "separate the subtle from the gross". We must overcome our lower, animal nature and cultivate the spiritual one. It is the ultimate goal of life and the destiny of everybody.
We will reincarnate in our physical bodies until we achieve this transformation and graduate to the next level. If we knew what awaits us beyond this reality, we would stop in a heartbeat and get to work because the payoff is better than anything the physical world offers.
There are three bodies we must purify, which are physical, emotional, and mental. The secrets of alchemy are the methods used to purify these bodies. When the river is clean, the water can flow. This water is known as Kundalini. The Kundalini is the vital energy of transformation.
It keeps our body healthy, and when it ascends to the pineal gland, it creates a mystical experience by creating DMT in our pineal gland. It is the energy generated in the body by transforming food into blood; and finally into the cerebral spinal fluid.
The goal is to retain this fluid by not ejaculating and raising it to the brain through yogic practices. Breathing is crucial for this, and there are many methods of channelling the breath to raise the Kundalini, known as pranayama.
THE PRINCIPLES OF IFA
Neither Olodumare nor Orunmila nor Ifa condones harbouring, using or trading human body parts, killing, lies and discrimination on behalf of the religion. This ancient religion taught us to live peacefully and coexist with our neighbours and foreigners, showing respect regardless of race, religion or creed. Instruction of Ifa from a divination session can direct an individual to perform an act of charity in a Temple, Mosque, Synagogue or Church.
 |
| The Concept of the Holy Trinity |
Ogun is the head of the house of Awo. Ogun takes care of the human heads, Orunmila does the same for the skins, and Ifa looks after the eyes. Discrimination is a taboo in this ancient religion of worshipping the Trinity, containing three spiritual houses, with Olodumare (Supreme God) on top of the hierarchy.
However, the bitter irony is that it is the other way around, especially modern Christians and Al-Islamists. Those who snubbed others using their financial might or were ready to brutalise, violate or kill others in the name of their religion are suffering from Religious supremacy on baseless grounds.
Orunmila (god of Wisdom and Knowledge) is a messenger of Olodumare (the Supreme God). Orunmila brought the divination system from heaven to earth and introduced it to human beings. It was taboo to record Ifa's poetry and verses in a written form until recently. The old doctrine of the oral transfer of divination knowledge from mouth to ear is now waning. Orunmila divided the world into three segments, containing the house of Orisha (Deities), Awo (Cults) and Ifa (Divination).

| Obatala |
Ogun (the god of iron) is the leader of Ile Awo (the domain of the cults) and others to the residence of the Orishas. Traditional House of Worship International is a concept of Orunmila declared to the Yoruba tribes that unless their minds are united, he can not grant their requests after his departure. There are three different dress modes for each residence. Those from the house of Orisha can embellish their clothing with magical charms. As for Awo and Ifa dress code, the colour must be white. Telling lies while wearing the white robe is taboo.
The symbolism of the colour white is to communicate purity and sincerity. Ifa's mode of worship demanded bowing, kneeling and touching the ground with the forehead, which predated the Al-Islamist technique for thousands of years. Saturday (Ojo Abameta) is chosen and separated into three rituals in Yorubaland. Morning is for the rituals of the Awos, the afternoon is for the Orishas, and the evening is for Ifa. And Olodumare will answer their prayer.
There are fundamental differences between Babalawo (Ifa Priest), Onishegun (Medicine Man) and Adaunshe (a Lone Wolf Medicine Man). A Babalawo uses and worships Ifa, Onishegun utilises herbs and adulates Osanyi (god of Medicine), younger brother of Orunmila, and the knowledge of Adahunse is probably hereditary.
 |
| Orunmila |
The fundamental Ifa practitioners still adhered to the principle that when the ear is ready, the opening of the mouth occurs, from Babalawo to Babalawo and their descendants. The Odus (Galaxies, Chapters or Houses) of Ifa contains all situations, circumstances, actions and consequences based on the uncountable Eses (Holy Verses). Sacrifices are exchanges for human failures, and Ifa demanded that all Babalawo must be honest.
Let us examine the story of Ikin and Opele (divination tools) and why one ranks above the other. What is the Opele in Ifa? The Opele is the minor divination tool utilised by Ifa priests for divination, believed to be an assistant or slave of Orunmila, who communicates his desires to the Babalawo and from the Babalawo back to Orunmila.
The majority of daily divination work employs Opele as a tool of choice. In the story, Ikin and Opele were once human and are practising Babalawo. However, while Ikin executed his practice candidly, Opele got greedy, asking ten times what Ifa required for the sacrifices. However, Opele's odu transliteration is faster during multiple divination sessions, but Ikin is superior. The end of Part 1 and Part 2 will follow in a fortnight.
