FOREWORD
I had given up writing this book because of people’s reactions when I mentioned the Commerce Game.Most wanted to ‘kill the messenger’ because their having been so conned by the alleged ‘authorities’ theirentire lives was too painful to contemplate. Those with neither eyes to see nor ears to hear wanted to arguewith me. Many suggested they were aware, yet upon further discussion they admitted to not
really
knowing.
Our mind is of 3 categories: what we know, what we don’t know, and what we don’t know we don’t know. Not knowing is unfortunate; not knowing that we don’t know is tragic.
- W. Erhart.Some actually did know about the fraudulent banking system and yet felt already defeated. Theyremain part of the problem by refusing to become part of the solution.
The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about and refuse toinvestigate.
- Dr. Wayne DyerI concluded that, unfortunately, only a few want to hear how to become free, stop identifying with theirfalse beliefs, do what they
want
to do (instead of ‘working for a living’), and live in joy which is what weare designed to do. I felt as if I were my own minority group - I truly do want to know that which I don’twant to know. Most want security over freedom. As most people identify with their beliefs, giving them upwould present the fear, ‘who would I BE?’ If they were to open their minds, drop their preconceivednotions, their psychological prejudices, let go of the concept that their beliefs are
who they are
, they mightbecome enlightened.
Millions of unconscious people are not taking responsibility for their inner peace.
- Eckhart Tolle.Needless to say, suggesting we have been conned into playing an insidious game which is destroyingour lives, our futures, our fellowship, our spirituality, and our true natures, will meet with non-receptiveminds. Consequently, in exasperation one night I resolved that my book would be futile - a waste of mytime and energy. I declared I would put my efforts back into developing my Energy Psychology practice.In the middle of the night I was awakened by a voice saying, “Secret Oral Teachings”. I thought, “I’llremember” and went back to sleep. Later I heard it
again
, and then
again
upon awakening I heard,“Secret Oral Teachings” at which point I leapt out of bed and went to my books and put my hand on asmall brown book which I’d owned for 20 years and never read, entitled, Secret Oral Teachings in TibetanBuddhist Sects by Alexandra David-Néel and Lama Yongden (1967). Within the first eight pages I readabout the hesitation of the Buddha, before beginning His Mission:“I have discovered a profound truth, difficult to perceive, difficult to understand, accessible only to thewise.“Human beings busy themselves in the vortex of the world and find their pleasure. It will be difficultfor men to understand the law of the concatenation of causes and effects, the suppression of the
samskaras
(ideas that one forms which depend upon ignorance).“Of what use to reveal to men that which I have discovered at the price of laborious efforts? Whyshould I do so? - This doctrine cannot be understood by those filled by desire and hatred .. it is mysterious,deep; hidden from the vulgar mind. If I proclaim it and men are unable to understand it, the only result willbe fatigue and annoyance for me.”Brahma Sahampati exhorts the Buddha to conquer His hesitation:“May the Venerable One preach the Doctrine! There are beings whose spiritual eyes are hardlydarkened by light dust, these will understand the Doctrine. In the land of Magadha a false doctrine hasprevailed up to the present, elaborated by men whose minds were contaminated (by ignorance). Now opento them the gate of Immortality (literally, of the deathless).“Arise, O Victorious One ! Travel through-out the world, O Chief of Pilgrims (beings who wander inthe round of successive births and deaths). There are some who will understand Thee.”The Buddha insisted strongly on the necessity of examining the propositions put forward by Him, andof understanding them personally before accepting them as true. The ancient texts leave no doubt on thispoint:“Do not believe on the strength of traditions even if they have been held in honour for manygenerations and in many places; do not believe anything because many people speak of it; do not believe onthe strength of sages of old times; do not believe that which you have yourselves imagined, thinking that agod has inspired you. Believe nothing which depends only on the authority of your masters or of priests.
