While alchemy, kabbalah, tarot, and psychology have developed as distinct traditions throughout history, they share profound roots within the esoteric mystery schools of antiquity. Rather than forming a new age hodgepodge or vague constellation of disparate belief systems, these principles convey the multifaceted nature of spiritual practice and divine realization from different angles, constituting a unique body of experiential knowledge known in Greek as γνῶσις gnosis. Therefore, properly prepared individuals can utilize these insights for interpreting the highly symbolic, mystical, and alchemical art of opera, whose composers were often Freemasons initiated into the secret allegories and disciplines of the ancients. This lecture explains some of the spiritual traditions behind Puccini's La Bohème, which will serve for future viewings and discussions on its gnostic symbolism, especially in relation to creative energy (alchemy), character representations and archetypes (kabbalah), predictive, prophetic, and pragmatic implications (tarot), and the path of internal transformation (psychology).

Beyond Secrecy: The Test of Worthiness and the Unveiling of Wisdom

Secrecy has long been a defining trait of esoteric traditions, but is it a tool for enlightenment or control? True wisdom is not meant to be hoarded but revealed when the seeker is ready. This exploration contrasts genuine initiatory orders—whose purpose is to guide seekers toward liberation—with false hierarchies that entangle followers in illusions of power. As the age of secrecy fades, the real test is no longer access to hidden knowledge, but the ability to discern truth from deception. In a world flooded with information, clarity becomes the new initiation.

Beyond the Matrix

And then, one day, you wake up and realize the world is bigger than you ever imagined. The universe is more vast, more complex. Life could be lighter.

That morning, I woke up thinking exactly that.

I questioned everything. And instead of getting answers, I got more questions. More and more.

I questioned my own sanity. I questioned everything and everyone.

And then, I saw.

I saw life beyond the Matrix. A world beyond this system. A universe of infinite dimensions.

The Matrix doesn’t let you see beyond it. It punishes you for trying. Or maybe, for some, it’s a relief.

Because when you see beyond, you see both the beauty and the ugly truth.

I understood—there’s more darkness than light.

I understood that everything they teach us is just so we can function inside the Matrix. Going beyond is forbidden.

It’s called madness.

That’s what I hear all the time— “There’s nothing beyond the Matrix.” “It’s just craziness.” “It’s a sin to believe in anything else.”

Please. Seek the truth. Seek knowledge. Because knowledge sets you free.

I am alone. More than I’ve ever been in my life.

I search for those who see what I see.

If you believe in the old gods— If you know that Athena still walks among us, that Apollo has made his presence known, that Venus has been seen on TV— If you believe Hermes is here, living among us—write to me.

I feel so alone in this universe.

Am I the only one who has escaped?

And then, I remember: some truths are too deep for most people to handle.

Who Wrote Tantra Shastra?

Who Wrote Tantra Shastra? And How Veda Yantra Can Protect You from Negative Tantra Mantra

Introduction

Tantra Shastra is one of the most mystical and misunderstood branches of Indian spiritual traditions. It is a collection of esoteric teachings, rituals, and mantras aimed at both spiritual enlightenment and worldly success. Tantra is deeply intertwined with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, offering a diverse range of practices, including meditation, mantra chanting, and deity worship.

However, just as Tantra can be used for positive purposes, it can also be misused to create negative energy through harmful mantras and rituals. This is where Veda Yantra plays a crucial role in offering protection against negative tantric influences.

This article will explore who wrote Tantra Shastra, its origins, and how Veda Yantra acts as a shield against negative energies that may be directed toward individuals, families, or businesses.

Who Wrote Tantra Shastra?

Origins of Tantra Shastra

Tantra Shastra is not attributed to a single author but is believed to be a collection of knowledge compiled by various sages, spiritual practitioners, and scholars over centuries. Its origins date back to the early centuries of the Common Era, with some concepts tracing their roots to the Vedic period. Tantra was initially transmitted orally before being documented in written texts.

Key Contributors to Tantra Shastra

Abhinavagupta (c. 950 – 1016 CE)

A profound scholar and mystic from Kashmir, Abhinavagupta wrote the Tantrāloka, an extensive treatise on Kashmir Shaivism and Tantra. His works synthesized tantric philosophies and practices.

Matsyendranath (9th – 10th century CE)

A revered yogi and one of the founders of the Nath tradition, Matsyendranath is credited with various tantric texts focusing on yoga and Kundalini awakening.

Krishnananda Agamavagisha (16th century CE)

A Bengali scholar who compiled the Brihat Tantrasara, a comprehensive manual on tantric rituals and practices.

Bhaskararaya (1690 – 1785 CE)

A scholar of the Shakta tradition, Bhaskararaya wrote commentaries on texts like Lalita Sahasranama, explaining the philosophy behind tantric worship of Goddess Shakti.

Sir John Woodroffe (Arthur Avalon) (1865 – 1936 CE)

A British scholar who introduced Tantra Shastra to the Western world through translations and explanations of key texts like Shakti and Shakta and Mahanirvana Tantra.

Nature of Tantric Texts

Tantric literature is divided into various categories:

Agamas and Nigamas: Texts presented as conversations between deities like Shiva and Shakti.

Tantras: Manuals that describe rituals, mantras, and methods of deity worship.

Samhitas: Collections of tantric practices followed by various sects.

These scriptures are not written by one person but have been refined and expanded upon by sages across centuries.

The Power of Tantra Mantra – Positive and Negative Aspects

Tantric mantras and rituals have been traditionally used for good—bringing success, prosperity, health, and spiritual awakening. However, when used with negative intent, Tantra can also be misused to cause harm through black magic, curses, or energy manipulations.

How Negative Tantra Can Affect You?

Personal Life: Emotional disturbances, anxiety, health problems, or unexpected conflicts.

Family: Increased tension, financial struggles, or unnatural misfortunes.

Business: Sudden losses, blocked growth, unexplained failures, or rival attacks.

In such cases, protection from these negative influences is crucial. One of the most effective ways to safeguard against these harmful energies is through Veda Yantra.

How Veda Yantra Protects Against Negative Tantra Mantra?

What is Veda Yantra?

Veda Yantra is an ancient, powerful protective diagram created through the wisdom of the Vedas and Puranas. It is designed to channel divine energy into the surroundings, bringing wealth, health, prosperity, and positivity while warding off negativity.

According to the Vedas, different gods govern specific directions, corners, and elements of life. The Veda Yantra is crafted based on these divine alignments, ensuring protection from harmful energies by invoking the blessings of:

The eight directional gods (Ashta-Dikpalas)

The deities of the sky and netherworld

Eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi (for prosperity)

The cosmic sound Omkar and Vedic mantras

Eight forms of Lord Shiva and sixteen forms of Lord Vishnu

Ways Veda Yantra Shields You from Negative Tantra

Neutralizes Negative Energy:

The powerful vibrations of Vedic mantras embedded in the Yantra dissolve any black magic or harmful energy directed toward you.

Prevents Business Losses Due to Negative Tantra:

If a competitor or enemy uses negative tantric practices to harm your business, placing a Veda Yantra at your workplace will ensure financial stability and success.

Protects Against Evil Eye and Curses:

Many people unknowingly suffer due to the evil eye or negative spells cast by others. The Veda Yantra creates a protective shield, ensuring that such energies do not affect you or your family.

Harmonizes Relationships and Home Atmosphere:

If family members are experiencing sudden conflicts or misunderstandings, it may be due to external energy disturbances. The Veda Yantra purifies the home's energy field, promoting love, harmony, and understanding.

Enhances Spiritual and Physical Well-being:

The Yantra aligns the body's energy centers (chakras) and removes stress, anxiety, and health problems caused by spiritual disturbances.

Ensures Positive Growth and Success:

By placing the Veda Yantra in your home, business, or place of worship, you continuously attract positive vibrations that enhance wealth, prosperity, and opportunities.

How to Use Veda Yantra for Maximum Protection?

To receive the full benefits of the Veda Yantra, follow these steps:

Purification: Wash the Yantra with pure water or Ganga Jal before installation.

Sacred Placement: Place it in your home, office, or temple facing the correct direction (East or North is ideal).

Daily Worship: Light a lamp or incense in front of the Yantra every day and recite Vedic mantras.

Faith and Devotion: The power of the Yantra multiplies with faith. Meditate upon it and visualize divine energy protecting you.

Conclusion

The Tantra Shastra is an ancient and powerful tradition filled with both positive and negative potentials. While it offers numerous benefits when used correctly, it can also be misused to direct negative energy toward individuals, families, and businesses.

This is why having Veda Yantra is essential—it acts as a spiritual shield, protecting against harmful tantric influences and ensuring peace, prosperity, and happiness. By incorporating this divine tool into your life, you can guard yourself and your loved ones from negative Tantra Mantras while attracting success and well-being.

If you believe that negative energy is affecting your life, home, or business, consider placing a Veda Yantra for protection and positivity.

FAQs

1. Can Veda Yantra completely remove the effects of negative Tantra Mantras?

Yes, when installed and worshipped correctly, the Veda Yantra neutralizes black magic, curses, and negative energies, ensuring protection and positivity.

2. Where should I place the Veda Yantra for business protection?

For business protection, place the Veda Yantra in the cash counter, main entrance, or workplace to prevent financial losses and attract success.

3. Do I need a priest to install the Veda Yantra?

While a priest can help energize it with rituals, you can also install it yourself by following simple purification and prayer procedures.

4. Can anyone use the Veda Yantra?

Yes, the Veda Yantra is designed for everyone seeking protection, prosperity, and divine blessings.

5. How soon can I see results after using the Veda Yantra?

Lecture Topic: Liberate Your True Self

After working with energy, the consciousness becomes enflamed and awakened. However, this type of birth is only one side of a spiritual equation. The rest of the work necessitates the comprehension and death of psychological contaminants like anger, lust, and pride. By directing energy towards the purification of the mind, it becomes possible to be fully rid of repetitious and harmful internal states, thereby enacting lasting, profound, and radical change. See how through a practice known as retrospection meditation.

¿Que es la magia?

[facetofacetarot]

In this image, we encounter a figure of cosmic equilibrium, a mystical being embodying the essence of celestial balance. Dressed in a dark, star-studded robe, she holds two scales that bear luminous orbs, reminiscent of planets or realms held in perfect harmony. Her expression is serene, deeply contemplative, as though she exists beyond the flux of time and space, residing in a realm where all forces are balanced in divine measure.

The structure of her being mirrors the alignment of the chakras, with radiant circles along the length of her form symbolising the alignment of cosmic energies within the human body. Each orb, each sphere, corresponds to a stage of consciousness, an astral body, or a planetary influence, creating a pathway that ascends from earthly awareness to cosmic understanding.

Behind her, an intricate halo of swirling gold and blue mirrors the dance of celestial bodies, suggesting a harmony between light and dark, expansion and contraction, the seen and unseen. The golden symbols spiral outwards like ancient glyphs, invoking the cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth that govern all existence. She is a manifestation of the Tantric concept of 'Shiva-Shakti'—a balance between the divine masculine and feminine, the union of opposites that births the universe.

Her hands extend outward, holding the scales with the grace of a cosmic adjudicator. On one side, the energy of light, of outward expansion and illumination; on the other, the cool embrace of the void, representing the mystery, the depth of the inner world. She holds these dualities without favour, embodying the wisdom of non-duality, where both energies are acknowledged as essential and interwoven within the sacred dance of life.

This figure invites the observer to recognise the delicate balance required to traverse the spiritual path—a balance between action and stillness, knowledge and intuition, cosmic vastness and earthly presence. In her, we see the embodiment of Dharmadhatu, the realm of truth, where all opposites dissolve, and the soul awakens to its own boundless nature, balanced between worlds, illuminated by the light of its own awareness.

The Secret Attitude That Unlocks REAL Spiritual Power 🔥 #EsotericWisdom

Title: The Initiatic Attitude – Beyond Passive Reception

Tags: #Tradition #Esotericism #SpiritualDiscipline #Initiation #InnerTransformation

Active Engagement – Initiatic teaching demands active participation, not passive consumption. It transforms essence when received with the right spiritual attitude.

Occult Bond – Spiritual achievements of one individual resonate occultly with others, creating an invisible chain of transmission beyond mere intellectual exchange.

Beyond Intellectualism – Esoteric knowledge must not be grasped only with the mind; it must generate living images and be felt in the heart.

Purified Feeling – A detached yet intense emotional state must be cultivated—free from personal reactions, centered in calm inner warmth.

Will as Tension – The will must be exercised independently of external goals, like a coiled force before action, energizing the subtle body.

Triple Integration – True reception unifies thinking, feeling, and willing simultaneously, awakening dormant centers of being.

Inversion of Process – Unlike profane learning, esotericism begins with inner experience, from which doctrine later crystallizes—not the reverse.

No Blind Faith – Esotericism rejects dogma; it requires direct experience, free from preconceptions, validated only through inner action.

Beyond Rigid Formulas – The spirit must flow beyond logical encapsulation, allowing words to evoke hidden resonances within the soul.

New Existential Basis – Mastery of this discipline restructures life, thought, and perception, aligning them with higher, transcendent principles.

"The doctrine is not an external teaching—it is the ordering of what has been realized within."

The Attitude Toward Initiatic Teaching

These reflections are directed at those who have not only studied my previous explanations but have also felt and willed when encountering transmitted teachings.

In esoteric knowledge, passive reception is insufficient. Teachings are not given merely for intellectual comprehension but to spur inner transformation. When received with the correct spiritual disposition, they alter one’s very being. Overcoming an obstacle in this domain does not benefit only the individual; an occult bond exists among men, allowing others to partake in one’s spiritual realizations—even if the realized remains distant and silent. However, when the path is articulated in thought, this natural participation is illuminated by conscious awareness and free individuality. Thus, one must learn to receive teachings properly.

The mind alone must not grasp at what is communicated (this is the first barrier that stifles esoteric transmission). Instead, thoughts must generate living images, which must then be felt. The described state must be inwardly shaped—almost as if "invented"—while maintaining a corresponding emotional disposition.

This is not ordinary feeling but a purified state: an inner calm, a listening with the "ear of the heart," distinct from instinctive emotional reactions. To cultivate this, recall a past emotion, then strip away its external cause and its pleasure-pain duality. What remains is an intense yet collected warmth within the heart. This exercise is crucial and simpler than it appears.

Such refined feeling preserves freedom while shifting experience from the brain to subtler centers. The teaching is internalized, no longer seeming external but arising from within—like a remembrance that illuminates previously obscure inner experiences.

Simultaneously, a willful attitude must be cultivated—not as goal-directed effort but as pure tension, akin to the poised force before breaking an object. Abstract from remembered acts of will their causes and aims, retaining only the pre-action energy. This will manifests as a vital force filling the arms and lower body, activating deeper centers. The experience differs from "remembering"; it is as if an external current merges with one’s own, amplifying it.

Thinking, feeling, and willing must unite, awakening dormant centers. Though distinct, these states must coincide. Many can achieve this through practice, marking the first liberation from physical-world laws and an initial realization of the subtle body’s unity in waking life.

This inner development revolutionizes one’s entire existence. New evidences and reference systems emerge. Life and conduct reorganize on a new foundation, and thought crystallizes into a doctrine grounded not in theory but in direct experience.

Here, the process inverts ordinary life: inner action precedes doctrine. Esotericism demands no blind faith but goodwill and freedom from preconceptions—precisely where the difficulty lies. Debate is futile when foundations differ; only through acceptance, action, and objective observation can true knowledge arise.

Doctrine must not rigidify into formulas. A margin of indeterminacy allows the spirit to flow, activating faculties stifled by mere logic. Words must carry more than their surface meaning; the listener must perceive not just the sense but its hidden resonance. What is neatly encapsulated in logic is dead to the spirit’s life.

Metaphysical part:

The hara, understood beyond its purely physical aspect, is referred to as both the general "center of man" and the "earth-center of man" (the literal subtitle of Dürckheim’s book). It is also called the seat of the One and the "basic center"—designations that are not entirely consistent. For instance, "being centered" and "being centered below" are clearly not synonymous. A more logical placement for the center would be in a median zone of the psychophysical being. This is why, across both Western and Eastern traditions, the heart (in a non-physical sense) has often been regarded as the true center of being—a doctrine prominently featured in the Upanishads and present in Western and Islamic esoteric traditions. Alternatively, the solar plexus (also understood symbolically) has sometimes been considered the "center" of human life. Thus, the doctrine of the hara as the "center" risks replacing one imbalanced displacement (upward, toward the head) with another (downward, into the belly), failing to achieve true centrality or a genuine "middle center." Additionally, the term "basic center" is misleading, as "base" and "center" (or "middle point") carry distinct connotations.

Among the traditional symbols of fire, the ignis centrum terrae—the central fire—holds a universal significance. In man, the heart occupies the center of his being, radiating life through warm blood that permeates the entire organism. The heart is luminous and fiery, embodying both intelligence and spirit, as seen in ancient Egypt, where it was regarded as the seat of spiritual understanding, not mere thought. This truth, later obscured by the false attribution of intelligence to the brain, was preserved in Dante’s intellect of love. Linguistic traces remain in expressions like "to learn by heart," revealing the heart’s higher function. Similarly, the distinction between recordari and meminisse (remembering vs. recalling) points to deeper metaphysical truths now lost to modernity. The science of language, properly understood, could restore these forgotten meanings, unveiling the hidden significance of primordial symbols.
