For better or worse, and, in most case, for worse, insofar, first, as
it remains to be seen exactly in what state esoteric teachings have
reached us, and, then, very few of our contemporaries are qualified
and fit for initiation, that is, if there are still actual
possibilities of regular initiation ; to Evola (see 'Ride The Tiger'),
there aren't any left, whereas it is interesting to note that late
Buddhist texts claim that it is easier for a shudra to obtain
liberation in the kali-yuga.
On that basis, the disclosure of more or less spurious initiatory
teachings to a poor and poorly qualified human material is bound to
backfire and to contribute greatly to accelerate the descent into pure
quantity, into chaos, and, ultimately, to lead at a quicker pace to
the end of this cycle of manifestation. Arthur Avalon once asked a
Tantric master how come initiatory Tantric texts, kept secret for
centuries, have been made available lately in books (excerpts from
their correspondance are found on a website dedicated to the work of
the former, of which we no longer have the address, but which should
be quite easy to find again). The latter replied that one of the main
reasons for this disclosure was of the financial order. Therefore,
either Tantric schools have degenerated into mere business, or it is
legitimate to think that, at least for some of them or for some of
their main representatives, the marketing of the most secret texts of
their tradition, far from being an end in itself, that is, a way of
making money for the sake of money, is only a means, concealed under
commercial pretexts, to create even more chaos in the macrocosm by
opening individuals who cannot understand those teachings and for whom
they are not appropriate to influences which can only distort them
even more.
All things considered : for better.
