SpiritualWiki - Geheimnis

Die Müllerstochter und Königin, deren Kind in Lebensgefahr war, erfährt sie von einem Boten, dass ein Männchen in einem kleinen Haus in der Ferne wohnt, das nachts um ein Feuer tanzt und singt:

Heute back ich, morgen brau ich,
übermorgen hol ich der Königin ihr Kind;
ach, wie gut dass niemand weiß,
dass ich Rumpelstilzchen heiß!

Nun kennt sie das Rätsel, den geheimen Namen ihres Peinigers, der sie mit Drohungen in Angst versetzt hatte und sich zur Sklavin gemacht hatte. Als sie den Poltergeist Rumpelstilzchen damit überrascht, dass er selbst sein Geheimnis ausgesprochen hatte, zerreißt sich aus lauter Wut selbst. Sein Leben endet er mit den Worten:

Das hat dir der Teufel gesagt!

"I am glad that nobody knew
that the name I am called is Rumpelstiltskin!"

Once Rumpelstiltskin's secret name is revealed his spell and control by fear is over.
Agasp Rumpelstiltskin tore himself apart – out of sheer anger.

Zitate allgemein

Uns hat Gott dieses Geheimnis enthüllt durch seinen Geist, den er uns gegeben hat. Denn der Geist erforscht alles, auch die geheimsten Absichten Gottes. […] Menschen, die sich auf ihre natürlichen Fähigkeiten verlassen, lehnen ab, was der Geist Gottes enthüllt. Es kommt ihnen unsinnig vor. Sie können nichts damit anfangen, weil es nur mit Hilfe des Geistes beurteilt werden kann. Wer dagegen den Geist hat, kann über alles urteilen, aber nicht von jemand beurteilt werden, der den Geist nicht hat. 1. Korinther 2, 10 und 14-15 (NT)

Persönliche Bekenntnisse
Wilsons Bekenntnis nach seiner Amtszeit bezüglich seiner Unterzeichnung des Federal Reserve Acts am 23. Dezember 1913

St. Bartholomä, Königssee im Berchtesgadener Land,
östlichee Fuß des Watzmanns, August 016

Ich bin ein zutiefst unglücklicher Mann. Ich habe unwissentlich mein Land ruiniert. Eine große Industrienation wird von ihrem Kreditsystem kontrolliert. Unser Kreditsystem ist konzentriert [privates Bankenkartell – Warburg, Morgan, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Kühn]. Daher ist das Wachstum unserer Nation und alle unsere Handlungen in den Händen weniger Männer. Wir sind zu einer der am schlechtesten regierten, am meisten kontrollierten und beherrschten Regierungen der zivilisierten Welt geworden. Keine Regierung der freien Meinungsäußerung mehr, keine Regierung mehr, die von der Überzeugung und Entscheidungen von Mehrheit getragen wird, sondern eine Regierung unter der Anschauung und dem nötigenden Einfluss einer kleinen Gruppe beherrschender Männer. Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) US-amerikanischer Politiker der Demokratischen Partei, 28. US-Präsident (1913-1921) zurzeit des 1. Weltkriegs, zitiert in: Gyeorgos C. Hatonn, To All My Children As the World Turns, S. 152, 1993

Empfehlung

Was du wünschst, musst du selber sein! […] Das ist das Geheimnis. Was du wünschst, das sei.
Nicht Geld sei, Reichtum sei, reich sei, Reichheit sei. […] Wer reich ist, leidet keinen Mangel. Denke nicht Mangel, sprich nicht Mangel. Safi Nidiaye, deutsche Meditationslehrerin, Zeitschriften- und Fernsehjournalistin, Dichterin, Schriftstellerin, Den Weg des Herzens gehen, Heyne, Erstauflage 1996, Ullstein Taschenbuch, 1. Mai 2010

Schlussfolgerungen

Nichts fürchtet der Mensch mehr als die Berührung durch Unbekanntes. [Göttliche Wirkmacht] […] Es ist die Masse [Sippenbewusstsein] allein, in der der Mensch von seiner Berührungsfurcht erlöst werden kann. Elias Canetti (1905-1994) Schweizerisch-britischer Aphoristiker bulgarischer Herkunft, Schriftsteller, Literaturnobelpreisträger, 1981, Masse und Macht, S. 13-14, 1960, Claassen Verlag, 1992

Das Zurückgewinnen des verletzten Kindes in Ihnen erinnert an ein Zen-Erlebnis. Kinder sind von Natur aus Zenmeister, ihre Welt entsteht in jedem Augenblick wieder völlig neu. Für das nicht verletzte Kind ist das Staunen natürlich. Das Leben ist ein Mysterium, das gelebt werden will. Die Heimkehr ist die Wiederherstellung des Natürlichen. Eine solche Wiederherstellung ist nicht grandios oder dramatisch, sondern zeigt einfach nur, wie das Leben sein sollte. John Bradshaw (1933-2016) US-amerikanischer Philosoph, Theologe, Psychologe, Autor, Das Kind in uns. Wie finde ich zu mir selbst, S. 87, Droemer Knaur Verlag, München, 14. August 2000

Der Tod ist, ebenso wie die Geburt, ein Geheimnis der Natur, hier Verbindung, dort Auflösung derselben Grundstoffe; durchaus nichts, dessen man sich zu schämen hätte; denn es widerstreitet nicht dem Wesen eines vernünftigen Geschöpfes noch der Anlage seiner Konstitution. Mark Aurel [Philosophenkaiser] (121-180 n. Chr.) römischer Kaiser, Philosoph, letzter bedeutender Vertreter der jüngeren Stoa, Schriftsteller, Quelle unbekannt

Das, was ein Geheimnis ist, wird dann keines mehr sein;
das, was heute verschleiert ist, wird enthüllt sein;
das, was im Verborgenen gehütet wurde, wird ans Tageslicht kommen,
und alle Menschen werden die Wahrheit erkennen, und die gemeinsame Freude wird groß sein.

So heißt der Alte Kommentar, wenn auf den gegenwärtigen Zyklus, durch welchen die Menschheit geht, Bezug genommen wird.

Die meisten Leute nehmen es einfach so hin und wundern sich kein bisschen darüber. Dieses Geheimnis ist die Zeit. Michael Ende (1929-1995) deutscher Romanschriftsteller, Quelle unbekannt

Es gibt kein Verbrechen, keinen Kniff, keinen Trick, keinen Schwindel, kein Laster, das nicht von Geheimhaltung lebt. Bringt diese Heimlichkeiten ans Tageslicht, beschreibt sie, macht sie vor aller Augen lächerlich. Und früher oder später wird die öffentliche Meinung sie hinwegfegen. Bekannt machen allein genügt vielleicht nicht – aber es ist das einzige Mittel, ohne das alle anderen versagen.

Gurdjeffs Regeln

Geh immer den Ereignissen nach, die der Rest der Menschheit als mysteriös abtut.
Tu niemals etwas, weil andere es auch tun.
Denke niemals das, was andere denken.
Vertraue nur der eigenen Sicht der Welt, niemals der Sicht, die andere haben. Und traue auch deiner eigenen Sicht nur einen Moment lang.

Regeln von Georges I. Gurdjeff (1866-1949) griechisch-armenischer Esoteriker, Schriftsteller, Choreograph, Komponist, Lehrer des "Vierten Wegs", Quelle unbekannt

Jeder wirkliche Schamane muss ein Leuchten in seinem Körper fühlen, im Innern seines Kopfes oder in seinem Gehirn, etwas, das wie Feuer leuchtet, das ihm die Kraft gibt, mit geschlossenen Augen in die Dunkelheit, in die verborgenen Dinge oder in die Zukunft zu sehen oder auch in die Geheimnisse anderer Menschen. Ich fühlte, dass ich im Besitz dieser wunderbaren Fähigkeit war. Knud Rasmussen [Vater der Eskimologie] (1879-1933) grönländisch-dänischer Polarforscher und Ethnologe, Aua, Eskimo-Schamane, Unter Jägern und SchamanenTagebuch der Thule-Fahrt, 1926

Woran ich fest glaube, ist aber die Unsterblichkeit der Seele – die Individualität, die uralt ist und noch sehr viel vor sich hat an Entfaltung, Weiterentwicklung. Wie sich das aber alles jenseits unseres Wissens abspielt und abgespielt hat, das bleibt – jedenfalls jetzt noch – Geheimnis. Sulamith Wülfing (1901-1989) deutsche Künstlerin, Illustratorin, Quelle unbekannt

Wenn Menschen gestört sind, halten sie alles geheim und privat und teilen anderen ihre Gedanken und Gefühle nicht mit. Dr. Patrick Carnes (*1944) führender US-amerikanischer Sexsuchtexperte und -therapeut, Minneapolis, Autor, Wenn Sex zur Sucht wird, S. 294, Kösel, München, 1992

Alle Geheimnisse liegen in vollkommener Offenheit vor uns. Nur wir stufen uns gegen sie ab, vom Stein bis zum Seher. Es gibt keine Geheimnisse an sich, es gibt nur Uneingeweihte aller Grade. Christian Morgenstern (1871-1914) Übersetzer, Dichter, Schriftsteller, zitiert in: Stufen. Eine Entwicklung in Aphorismen und Tagebuch-Notizen, Piper Verlag, München, 1922

Das Geheimnis des Glücks liegt nicht im Besitz, sondern im Geben. Wer andere glücklich macht, wird glücklich. Andre Gide (1869-1951) französischer Schriftsteller, Nobelpreisträger für Literatur, 1947, Quelle unbekannt

Das Geheimnis der Liebe ist seelische Wachheit und Freiheit,
das Geheimnis von Wachheit und Freiheit aber ist der Mut.
Es ist viel Mut erforderlich, die eigenen Gefühle wach und vorurteilslos genau zu betrachten.

Wenn ein Tölpel ein Geheimnis erfährt, verrät er es, weil er ein Tor ist.
Wenn ein Schurke etwas erfährt, verrät er es, wann immer es in seinem Interesse liegt.
Aber Frauen und junge Männer neigen zum Verrat von Geheimnissen aus Eitelkeit darüber, dass man ihnen vertraut hat. Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773) britischer Staatsmann, Schriftsteller, Quelle unbekannt

Vergessen können ist das Geheimnis ewiger Jugend. Wir werden alt durch Erinnerung. Erich Maria Remarque (1898-1970) deutsch-US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Quelle unbekannt

Wahrscheinlich ist das das Geheimnis des Erwachsenwerdens: Man gewöhnt sich daran, ein Versager zu sein. Martin Walser (*1927) deutscher Schriftsteller, Quelle unbekannt

Es ist ein Geheimnis der Kraft, dass sie wirkt, wenn man sich zurückhält. Die wichtigen Geheimnisse wirken, nicht indem sie gelüftet werden, sondern indem sie da sind. Das gelüftete Geheimnis schlägt zurück.

Wenn das amerikanische Volk es den Privatbanken je erlaubt, die Ausgabe ihres Geldes zu kontrollieren, zuerst durch Inflation, dann durch Deflation, dann werden die Banken und Konzerne, die um diese Banken heranwachsen, den Menschen ihren ganzen Besitz wegnehmen, bis ihre Kinder obdachlos aufwachen, auf dem Kontinent den ihre Vorväter erobert haben. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) US-amerikanischer Staatstheoretiker, dritter US-Präsident (1801-1809), Haupturheber der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung, 4. Juli 1776, 1802

Meine Damen und Herren, bereits das Wort Geheimhaltung ist in einer freien und offenen Gesellschaft geradezu abstoßend! Aus historischer Sicht ist uns als Volk die Ablehnung gegenüber Geheimgesellschaften, geheimen Schwüren und geheimen Handlungen bereits angeboren. [...]
Denn wir sehen uns weltweit einer gigantischen und rücksichtslosen Verschwörung gegenüber, die zu verdeckten Operationen greift, um ihren Einfluss zu erweitern. Zu Infiltration statt Invasion, zu Umstürzen statt Wahlen, zu Einschüchterung statt zu freien Entscheidungen.
Es ist ein System, das riesige menschliche und materielle Ressourcen verwendet hat, um damit eine zusammenhängende hocheffiziente Maschinerie aufzubauen, welche militärische, diplomatische, geheimdienstliche, ökonomische, wissenschaftliche und politische Operationen verbindet. Die Vorbereitungen dazu werden verheimlicht, bleiben unveröffentlicht, die Fehler verschwiegen, anstatt groß über sie zu berichten. Dissidenten werden zum Schweigen gebracht, anstatt sie zu rühmen. Dazu verwendete Ausgaben werden nicht hinterfragt. Kein Geheimnis wird gelüftet. [...]
Deshalb hatte der griechische Gesetzgeber Solon verordnet, dass es ein Verbrechen ist, wenn Bürger vor harten Diskussionen zurückschrecken. [...]
Ich bitte Sie um Hilfe für die gewaltige Aufgabe die amerikanische Bevölkerung zu informieren und zu alarmieren. Aber ich bin davon überzeugt, dass mit ihrer Hilfe der Mensch endlich das wird, wozu er geboren ist: Frei und unabhängig! John F. Kennedy (1961-1963) politisch ermordeter 35. US-Präsident (1917-1963), Ansprache vor Zeitungsverlegern, 27. April 1961

Das ist das Geheimnis der Propaganda: den, den die Propaganda fassen will, ganz mit den Ideen der Propaganda zu durchtränken, ohne dass er überhaupt merkt, dass er durchtränkt wird. Selbstverständlich hat die Propaganda eine Absicht, aber die Absicht muss so klug und so virtuos kaschiert sein, dass der, der von dieser Absicht erfüllt werden soll, das überhaupt nicht bemerkt. Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945) einflussreichster deutscher NS-Politiker, Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (1933-1945), Rede vor den Rundfunkintendanten, 25. März 1933

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33, 3, New International Version (NIV) (OT)

Behold, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 15, 51 (NT)

Nothing is secret that shall not be made evident,
nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Luke 8, 17 (NT)

Personal avowals

To study the meaning of man and of life – I am making significant progress here. I have faith in myself. Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) Russian writer of novels, short stories and essays, personal correspondence (1839), cited in: Konstantin Mochulski, Michael A. Minihan, translator, Dostoevsky. His Life and Work, S. 17, 1971

Confession made when sailing Caputh in 1930

The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I am a devoutly religious man. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-born US American theoretical physicist, developer of the theory of general relativity, Nobel laureate in physics, 1921, cited in: Walter Isaacson (*1952) US American journalist, writer, Einstein. His Life and Universe, Simon & Schuster, New York, April 2007

Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that behind all the discernible concatenations there remains something subtle intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am in point of fact religious. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-born US American theoretical physicist, developer of the theory of general relativity, Nobel laureate in physics, 1921, source unknown

I was once [1972] directed by the Chief of Staff of the Army to prepare an analysis of the psychological causes of the My Lai atrocities and their subsequent cover-up, with recommendations for research that might prevent such behavior in the future. The recommendations were disapproved by the Army general staff on the basis that the research recommended could not be kept secret. "The existence of such research might open us up to further challenge. The President and the Army don't need more challenges at this time," I was told. Thus an analysis of the reasons for an incident that was covered up was itself covered up. Morgan Scott Peck (1936-2005) US American psychiatrist, psychotherapist, author, The Road Less Traveled, Touchstone, 1st edition 1978, Random House United Kingdom, 15. March 1990, Touchstone, 25th anniversary edition 4. February 2003

I believe in mystery. I joyfully acknowledge the limits of my knowledge. I rejoice in the wonder of the universe and glory in a shared existence with people, plants, animals, stars, rivers, and microbes. I enjoy a more directly experienced life, without the imposition of a big story that assigns arbitrary meaning. Instead, I create meaning every day by engaging with my surroundings with honesty, curiosity, and loving responsibility. I no longer believe in a supreme being. In the beginning of my life without God I often felt lonely and confused – it's not easy to restructure one's worldview – but now I experience an immediate, exhilarating connection to life.

My deep love affair is with God as the ground of being and Goddess as the appearances of being. The natural world is an objective expression of the unconscious oneness from which we have arisen. It is the unconscious foundation from which conscious bodies have evolved. When I see the numinous in nature, I see the mystery in the manifest.

Compulsion to secrecy, a penchant for denial, putting emotions on 'deep freeze', the inability to communicate with his loved ones destroyed a marriage and a family.

Former governor Schwarzenegger, self-admitted "expert at living in denial", disclosed in his autobiography Total Recall: "You can call this denial, but it's the way my mind works."

That's the way I handle things. And it always has worked. But, I mean it does not – it's not the best thing for people around me because I sometimes – some information I just keep to myself.

I was molested when I was a boy. Never told anyone until I was in a prison, 52 years of age. And I was set free by being able to share with a counselor, a man I finally trusted after two years of being with him. I finally said, I may just tell it all. And now I just tell it everywhere, whenever I tell that I was molested, men cry out in the audience. Me too. We set not only ourselves free but we set other people free, when we are finally honest enough to share our faults.

Disclosure

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know. […] Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed – and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. John F.

Secret cabal pulling the strings

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) 28th US American president during World War I (1913-1921), The New Freedom.

President Woodrow Wilson's deep regret expressed before his death:

Nearing his death and after breaking with Colonel House who with Warburg had engineered the Federal Reserve Act which Wilson had signed into existence on 23. December 1913

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We [the United States] have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world. No longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

A psychopath's NWO confession

⚡ For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will.
If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. ⚡ David Rockefeller (1915-2017) current US American patriarch of the Rockefeller family, autobiography Memoirs, chapter 27, S. 404-405, Random House, New York, 1st Trade edition 15. October 2002, reprint edition 28. October 2003

Insights gained from a secretive sexual tantric enslavement with Kalu Rinpoche, a high Tibetan lama

Don't agree to a long-term secret relationship; it's a burden you'll have to carry all your life, and in the end you'll have to be true to yourself and face up to why you entered into it. If you're afraid of what might happen next, or how you'll deal with the stresses of secrecy, try to take control of your life again. If you're being passive and compliant because he's your teacher, do as I did eventually:
➤ think for yourself, take action, and end it.

Never allow part of yourself to be hidden away under threats of "bad karma" or anything else. The truth never made "bad karma." If you need to, look for supportive people to help you. If you've started to feel that in some way you're special, that maybe you've been chosen to fulfill some kind of destiny, well, think again. These kinds of thoughts won't help you to become strong in yourself. They may seem to explain things now, but they'll only hold you back in the long run.

Insights

The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. Jacobus Johannes van der Leeuw (1893-1934) Dutch theosophist, author, aphorism

Our secrets definitely keep us addicted, which is probably why there are online sites where people can divest themselves of their secrets, anonymously. But because shame happens between people, there is no substitute for telling on ourselves, so to speak, to someone else and making ourselves vulnerable. Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn't feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive. Interview with Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW (*1965) US American shame, vulnerability, empathy researcher, Graduate College of Social Work, University of Houston, public speaker, author, Author Brené Brown Discusses Embracing Our Ordinariness, presented by the US American liberal-oriented online newspaper The Huffington Post, Martha Rosenbaum, 21.

Fringe Dwellers are people who don't fit the norm. I say they are not hippy revolutionaries living rough, or social weirdoes; the ones I speak of are ordinary people, you can't tell them apart from others. It's their minds that are different. They don't relate to the rules and regulations of the status quo, the rhythms of a tick-tock life leaves them uninspired and listless.
They aspire to belong to a world of higher consciousness, rather than have ideas and morals imposed upon them by a system that has corrupt values, one that often doesn't really know what its talking about.

Secret operations revealed on world financial scope

We have scientific evidence that a monopoly of 1,318 corporations, headed by the Federal Reserve banks, is now earning 80 percent of the world's wealth. This 'core' is in turn being run by a "super-entity" of 147 corporations, most of which are financial institutions.
The top corporations in the "super-entity" are the Federal Reserve banks – and they created 26 to 29 Trillion dollars in bailouts for their own companies from 2007 to 2010.

Leaders who will thrive and whose organizations will flourish in this era of ubiquitous electronic tattletales are the ones who strive to make their organizations as transparent as possible.

Whistleblowers no longer have to persuade reporters or put their careers at risk by going public.

In most organizations, hidden ground rules govern what can be said and what cannot. Such cultural rules run deep, and they typically resist change. At NASA, for example, the cultural ground rules that contributed to the Challenger explosion sixteen years before were still operating in 2003, leading to the Columbia shuttle disaster. The panel that investigated the Columbia tragedy went beyond the technical cause – a chunk of flyaway foam that damaged a wing – to blame an organizational culture where engineers were afraid to raise safety concerns with managers more worried about meeting flight schedules than about averting risks. Head of NASA Sean O'Keefe said in the aftermath of the Columbia tragedy that no employee who speaks up about safety concerns, even to outsiders, would be reprimanded in any way. But since 2003, NASA has become even less transparent as a result of pressure put on political appointees to the agency to keep employees, including a NASA scientist concerned about global warming, from publicly expressing views not in keeping with current administration policies.

June Campbell, the enforced sex consort of celibatary monk Kalu Rinpoche for several years, first risked publishing about her experiences with him after his death.

The imposition of secrecy [...] in the Tibetan system, when it occurred solely as a means to protect status, and where it was reinforced by threats, was a powerful weapon in keeping women from achieving any kind of integrity in themselves, for it seems clear that the fundamental and ancient principles of Tantric sex – the meeting together of two autonomous individuals as partners for sexual relations to promote spirituality – was tainted by the power wielded by one partner over the other. So whilst the lineage system [the gurus’ chain of initiation] viewed these [sexual] activities as promoting the enlightenment state of the lineage holders, the fate of one of the two main protagonists, the female consort, remained unrecognized, unspoken and unnamed. […] [T]his imposed hidden role meant that, within the Tibetan monastic system which dominated the Vajrayana, for other women practitioners, there were no overt role models and no open system of exchange between women. June Campbell (*~1945) Scottish religious scholar, academic feminist, Kagyu nun and personal translator of the Tibetan Lama Kalu Rinpoche (70ties), Traveller in Space.

If a fool knows a secret, he tells it because he is a fool;

Ubiquitous conspiracy, deception and secrecy

From a historical point of view, the only reality is that of conspiracy. Secrecy, wealth and independence add up to power. Deception is the key element of warfare, (the tool of the power elites), and when winning is all that matters, the conventional morality held by ordinary people becomes an impediment. Secrecy stems from a pervasive and fundamental element of life in our world, that those who are at the top of the heap will always take whatever steps are necessary to maintain the status quo.  [...]  The very label 'conspiracy' serves as an automatic dismissal, as though no one ever acts in secret. Let us bring some perspective and common sense to this issue. The United States comprises large organizations – corporations, bureaucracies, 'interest groups,' and the like – which are conspiratorial by nature. That is, they are hierarchical, their important decisions are made in secret by a few key decision-makers, and they are not above lying about their activities. Such is the nature of organizational behavior. 'Conspiracy', in this key sense, is a way of life around the globe. Richard M. Dolan (*1962) US American historian, ufologist, television personality, UFOs and the National Security State. Chronology of a Coverup, 1941-1973, S. 1937, Hampton Roads Publishing, revised edition 1. June 2002

There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy. Get these things out in the open, describe them, attack them, ridicule them in the press, and sooner or later public opinion will sweep them away. Publicity may not be the only thing that is needed, but it is the one thing without which all other agencies will fail.

Family secrets

[Summarized and paraphrased] Families are support systems and training grounds for cultic behavior.
Family secrets have an awesome if paradoxical power to unite people – and to divide them.
Secrets are perhaps most destructive when kept in the home.
A person who seeks to undo the damage caused by family secrets must accept that revealing a secret is not a betrayal but a necessity.
Breaking the rules of family secrecy is necessary to ensure the achievement of freedom and honesty crucial to making and sustaining authentic relationships.
One of the best ways to ease into revealing long-hidden information is to tell an objective listener, like a therapist.

Family secrets are shaping and scarring the members of the family in four ways:

Secrets can divide family members, permanently estranging them;
Secrets can discourage individuals from sharing information with anyone outside the family, inhibiting formation of intimate relationships;
Secrets can freeze development at crucial points in life, preventing the growth of self and identity;
Secrets can lead to painful miscommunication within a family, causing unnecessary guilt and doubt.

Two pairs of secret triangles juxtaposed against each other:

Shared secret between – Perpetrator / guru – Inner circle members (in the know)
Shared secret between – Perpetrator / guru – Gullible needy outer circle members (not in the know, fed with embellished narratives)

The realization that everything is knowable about anything or anyone, anywhere, at any point in time, creates at first a paradigm shock. This reaction arises, generally, from realization of the non-locality, impersonality and universality of consciousness itself; and, specifically, from the realization of the observability of one's own thoughts and motivations, their transparency across time. That one's every thought and action leave an indelible trace forever in the universe can be an unsettling thought. Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, "Preface", S. 10, Veritas Publishing, 1st edition 1995

Nothing is hidden from the field of consciousness. Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 80, 2003

[T]here are no longer any secrets, and truth can be discovered by any integrous researcher. Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, "Caveat: A Note to the Reader", S. xii, 2005

Everything in the universe constantly gives off an identifiable energy pattern of a specific, frequency that remains for all time and can be read by those who know how. Every word, deed, and intention creates a permanent record, every thought is known and recorded forever. There ar no secrets, nothing is hidden, nor can it be. Everyone lives in the puplic domain. Our spirits stand naked in time for all to see. Everyone's life, finally, is accountable to the universe. (Calibrated at LoC 1000.) Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, chapter 13 "Truth: The Pathway To Freedom", S. 259, 2005

Question: The programs of the ego do not continue unless they are secretly pleasurable?
Answer: That is the secret about secrets. The payoff is a gain of a pleasurably satisfying reward. The ego has learned to be very clever in order to survive. It is capable of resorting to any lengths or ruse of self-deception and camouflage. The world we witness is merely the drama of the collective egos acting out on the perceptual stage of form and time. Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, chapter 1, S. 13, quote 1, Hay House, August 2011

God has no secrets.

Secrets is the other sign [for controlling cults]. Truth has no secrets. That which claims a secret, avoid! God has no secrets. […] All is revealed! The only reason for a secret is to have control over you. I'll get something out of you in return for the secret, which makes you special. The attraction is one of specialness. […] All these things are OK on the way. The only trouble is their power of seduction is quite intense. […] Don't underrate the expertise of that which would mislead you. […] It sounds like the convincingly real. Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Sedona Seminar Realization of the Self: Final Moments, DVD 1 of 3, minute 1:39, Arizona, December 2002
