"Keep it secret, keep it safe."
— Gandalf to Frodo in LOR:
The Fellowship of the Ring (the movie version)
Keep secret work secret. Esoteric knowledge and inner work on ourselves should not be shared with most people. We live in a cult-of-confession society where people go on social media and television to spill out their personal lives. But consciousness work, esoteric work, is depotentiated and loses dignity when you share it with those who haven't earned access. As Aleister Crowley said, "If I tell a man something he isn't ready to hear, it is the same as if I told him a lie." Don't spill your pearls before swine; save them for your spiritual allies — those who share a deep commitment to consciousness.
Proselytizing often indicates an imbalanced psyche with a compulsive need to get others to share the imbalanced belief system.
Do not share pearls with people who don't recognize you as a source of wisdom and don't recognize pearls in general. When a pickpocket sees a saint, he sees only his pockets.
Consider this an auspicious time to share your pearls only with the most trustworthy spiritual allies. Keep it secret, keep it safe.
