Serpentine Wisdom

“They burn with fire—we burn with water; they wash with water—we wash with fire.”
— Van Helmont

Occultism possesses an elusive, serpentine quality—subtle yet essential. Ordinary minds cling to rigid ideals, moralities, and definitions of strength and wisdom. But occultism operates differently: it moves unseen, from the opposite direction, unsettling those who believe themselves secure.

The true occultist defies ordinary measurement. His path is impenetrable; his actions, inscrutable. Even those closest to him—friends, lovers—know only a fraction of his being. Only upon entering his domain do they sense the abyss beneath their feet.

Many today proclaim themselves occultists, initiates, or masters, craving recognition. Yet the genuine adept remains hidden, indifferent to external judgment. He does not seek validation, nor does he react to provocation. He turns the other cheek—not from weakness, but because he dictates the rules. He is untouchable, free from the need for self-affirmation.

The deeper the occultist's mastery, the more his influence remains unseen. His targets believe themselves free, unaware of his hand. Western distortions of occultism—tainted by profane prejudices—obscure its true nature. Most speak without knowing; few grasp that here, will is not will, action is not action, the Self is not the Self.

Lao-tzu’s Tao Te Ching embodies this wisdom: absolute, surgical, free of human limitation. Confucius, obsessed with tradition, once sought Lao-tzu’s counsel and later reflected: “One may trap animals, catch fish with nets, or birds with arrows—but how does one capture the dragon soaring beyond the clouds?”

The Tao Te Ching reveals the Fulfilled One—elusive, ambiguous, beyond ordinary perception. “The Way that is the Way is not the ordinary way.” Men chase illusions: they construct personalities, clutch at possessions, scream “Me! Me! Me!“—unaware this is mere fever, a prelude to death.

True individuality is not what men believe. The Fulfilled One loses himself to become himself. He empties to achieve fullness, conceals to reveal, gives to possess. He moves without trace, acts without doing, wins without struggle. His strength lies in flexibility, his victory in yielding.

Water, formless yet unstoppable, defeats the rigid. The tools of life are subtle; the tools of death, hard and crude. The unseen directs the seen. The strong expose themselves—and are cut down. The wise remain hidden, striking where no resistance exists.

The modern cult of effort and struggle is folly. Men crave action to feel themselves, not to attain. But when resistance vanishes, they collapse like soap bubbles. Death shatters their illusions, dissolving them into the formless void—the dragon’s domain.

To level out, to be silent, to disappear—this is the Way. The voice without words, the sight without objects, the action without movement. The fish cannot survive outside the depths; the ordinary man cannot grasp this wisdom.

Those bitten by the dragon wield an invisible force. They command without speaking, win without fighting, and remain—always—unseen.

Metaphysical part:

Metaphysics is meta-physical (beyond the physical). It transcends the material plane. The “meta-physical” denotes the supra-sensible, eternal realm—the domain of absolute principles, untouched by modernity’s degeneration. It is the world of Being, opposed to becoming; of Spirit, not matter.

What Is “Metaphysical Reality”?

The term “metaphysical reality” frequently appears as a central concept in various esoteric teachings. To clarify its meaning, we begin with its etymological definition: metaphysics refers to that which is beyond the physical. However, “physical” here should not be conflated with modern physics or philosophical metaphysics, as both are distorted by abstraction and empiricism.

Instead, we take “physical” in its traditional sense—pertaining to bodily existence, bound by space and time. Thus, the “metaphysical” refers to:
1. Objectively: States of being free from spatial and temporal conditions.
2. Subjectively: Consciousness experiencing reality beyond these conditions.

Common perception, limited to bodily experience, instinctively equates reality with corporeality, making “metaphysical reality” seem contradictory. However, initiation allows one to transcend this limitation, preserving consciousness beyond bodily dissolution—akin to voluntary death and rebirth.

Philosophical critique further reveals that space and time are not inherent to reality but are cognitive frameworks imposed by human perception. Thus, suspending these frameworks opens the way to other modes of experience, where reality appears non-corporeal.

Yet “metaphysical reality” is not a singular state but encompasses multiple planes of existence, far beyond simplistic dualities (e.g., “this world” vs. “the beyond”). The physical world is merely one manifestation among many—symbolized in traditional cosmology by planetary and zodiacal hierarchies, each representing distinct metaphysical worlds.

Death, in this view, is not an absolute end but a transition between states. Initiatic “deaths” and “rebirths” mark shifts in consciousness, each unveiling new existential planes.

Philosophical Considerations

Philosophical realism, which posits reality as independent of the observer, aligns with bodily experience but fails in metaphysical contexts. Idealism, conversely, sees reality as an act of consciousness—an approach more suited to metaphysical experience, where subject and object merge.

Traditional doctrines (Vedanta, Neoplatonism) affirm this anti-dualistic cognition. Plotinus speaks of “incorporeal senses” perceiving intelligible realities, where knower and known are one. Such knowledge is not passive reception but active identification.

The term “creation” must be clarified: metaphysical realization does not produce something new but awakens latent creative forces within the self. This is not evolution but reintegration—a return to an original, divine state.

Dominion over metaphysical realities is possible but not inherent to all experiences. Some traditions (Hermeticism, Kabbalah) emphasize gnosis over power, seeking union with the ineffable rather than control over forces.

Ultimately, metaphysical reality transcends rigid categories, revealing a multiplicity of states where consciousness, liberated from bodily constraints, perceives existence in its true, unbounded nature.

Title: The Initiatic Attitude – Beyond Passive Reception
Tags: #Tradition #Esotericism #SpiritualDiscipline #Initiation #InnerTransformation

1. Active Engagement – Initiatic teaching demands active participation, not passive consumption. It transforms essence when received with the right spiritual attitude.
   
2. Occult Bond – Spiritual achievements of one individual resonate occultly with others, creating an invisible chain of transmission beyond mere intellectual exchange.
   
3. Beyond Intellectualism – Esoteric knowledge must not be grasped only with the mind; it must generate living images and be felt in the heart.
   
4. Purified Feeling – A detached yet intense emotional state must be cultivated—free from personal reactions, centered in calm inner warmth.
   
5. Will as Tension – The will must be exercised independently of external goals, like a coiled force before action, energizing the subtle body.
   
6. Triple Integration – True reception unifies thinking, feeling, and willing simultaneously, awakening dormant centers of being.
   
7. Inversion of Process – Unlike profane learning, esotericism begins with inner experience, from which doctrine later crystallizes—not the reverse.
   
8. No Blind Faith – Esotericism rejects dogma; it requires direct experience, free from preconceptions, validated only through inner action.
   
9. Beyond Rigid Formulas – The spirit must flow beyond logical encapsulation, allowing words to evoke hidden resonances within the soul.
   
10. 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.
