Looking down from the watchtower of their hidden glory, the Nine Unknown watched the birth, destruction and birth of civilization, tolerant rather than indifferent - and ready to help - but always observing this rule of silence, which is a sign of human greatness - Louis Pauvels and Jacques Berger I.
We are living in the most exciting time in human history. Technology is advancing rapidly, not only in the form of computers and mass communication, but also to help us understand the secrets of the human brain.
In the West, our traditions, institutions and power structures are being challenged and destroyed. The rest of the world is also transforming in all of these areas.
Did something bring us to this point? Can a group of enlightened people lead humanity from time immemorial?
This idea has drifted over the centuries and has manifested itself in different forms. A striking example is the legend of the Nine Unknown People, keepers of sacred and heavenly knowledge, sharing both with whim and will.
The most famous story of the origin of the nine unknowns comes from India. The formation of the group is associated with the Indian emperor Ashoka the Great, who ruled from 304 BC. - 232 BC
The great Ashoka, the emperor of the Mauryan dynasty of India, sought to advance his grandfather's dreams of unification across the continent. As the grandson of Chandragupta, the first known "Emperor" of India, it was quite possible that he left Ashok with large boots to fill, but he filled them in the way he did and the lines he drew on the map of India are largely preserved to this day. At the height of Maurya's rule, India's borders stretched from Afghanistan to Pakistan, from Iran to Bangladesh.
However, like much of human history, big change comes at great cost, and the last war of Ashoka's drive for unity left the greatest impact on the legendary emperor.

Kalinga (modern-day Orissa) is a region on the east coast of India and was one of the last strongholds against Maurya rule. The people of Kalinga successfully repelled Ashoka's father, but this fact did little to resist the power of Ashoka's army.
The huge battle resulted in the deaths of 100,000 Kalinga men, women and children, as well as 10,000 of Ashoka's forces. The Daya River was red with blood. Seeing this huge wave of death and destruction committed on his behalf, Ashoka vowed to take the path of non-violence and adopted Buddhism. Ashoka also promised to transfer specific knowledge into the hands of a council of nine people who will not only protect, but also distribute knowledge at the right time throughout the history of mankind.
Many interpretations and adaptations have been added to the legend of the nine unknown people. One theory has a legend dating back to Atlantis where the Nine supposedly ruled with their higher knowledge and consciousness.
Nine sacred books
For the sake of this article, let us stick with Ashoka's version, which also talks about nine books of knowledge, each assigned to a different council member.
Nine books contain knowledge that is considered too powerful to be used in the human psyche, except when the time is right. Nine literally teach humanity by seeding information and watching it grow as the human species moves along its evolutionary path.
The secrets of psychology, sociology, physiology, microbiology and biotechnology, alchemy, communication at all levels, cosmology of the universe, as well as mastering gravity and light are revealed on the pages of nine sacred books.
Ancient, but still new developments, in all nine aspects covered by the books, are brought to mind over time, leading to his eventual enlightenment and departure from this planet. It is argued that the so-called "leaks" of information occurred at different points in human history. In these cases, people received too much knowledge, too much power too early.
The "Death Touch" martial arts technique, in which a practitioner can kill a person with a single touch, is said to have originated from a sacred book focused on physiology. Although still unknown to the vast majority of people, this deadly technique, which stops energy and blood flow, supposedly exists.
The touch of death can be viewed from two points of view, the first of which is purely scientific. You can influence the timing of a person's heartbeat, such as hitting it hard enough or applying a heart massage technique such as CPR to a person whose heart is beating. Both of these techniques can disrupt the natural rhythm of the heart, leading to cardiac arrest, which can lead to death.
The second is a mysterious Chinese martial arts practice known as Dim Mak. The Dim Mak system relies on pressure points and qi energy centers, which ones to attack and in which order are most effective. It is said that due to the successful closure of the qi passage in the human body, the build-up of qi leads to stagnation, which is said to result in death.
However, this is notoriously difficult to verify, as Dim Mak practitioners are close to coming, let alone contact and learning, beyond the occasional one that appeared in the 70s and 80s to demonstrate the Touch of Death, and almost immediately debunked as a fraud.
While it is easy to postulate examples of information that may have "leaked" from these books, it is important to remember that no one on this planet, perhaps even on this plane of existence, knows the plan of the Nine Unknown People except Nine Unknowns. The leaks can be perceived as nothing more than a plan of Nine unfolding perfectly, even if humanity is clearly suffering.
Nine and Hitler
The Indian mystic and spirituality teacher Osho (Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh) claimed that the Nine orchestrated the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Perhaps they exposed Hitler to esoteric ideas and ways of power.
Witnesses claim to have seen Hitler almost possessed at his peak. He could make huge audiences eat from the palm of his hand and perform incredible but brilliant military maneuvers while his generals scoffed at ideas.
But then Hitler's power began to crumble. Again, witnesses say he became a different person. His armies are retreating, battles are losing on all fronts, while Hitler shrinks, sweats, mumbles and heads towards his doom.
In his 1925 work Mein Kampf, Hitler explained how he chose the swastika, which became the infamous symbol of Nazism:
It is noteworthy that the Nazis changed places for this ancient and powerful symbol, which is widely used throughout Asia. Osho says: “… the swastika was chosen and used the other way around. This has never happened before, but thanks to this events have taken on a completely new form."
Why the Nine Unknowns, supposedly benevolent and willing to accept the best way to educate humanity, decided to send the species through one of its darkest periods is a mystery. Perhaps it was just another series of "Dark Nights of the Soul" for humanity. Perhaps these stages are necessary to accelerate our development - wiping off the leaf, so to speak - and to create new conditions conducive to the latent plans of the Nine.
Where are the nine unknowns?
There are many legends about where the Nine may reside or exist. Talk to David Icke and he will tell you that they are deep underground and live in partnership with the shape-shifting lizard humans. Nicholas Roerich or G. I. Gurdjieff may have said that they live in the mythical kingdom of Shambhala, somewhere in Central Asia.
The idea of a hidden city, secret paradise, or invisible college has fascinated people for hundreds of years, and especially occult experts in the West, when the East did open up to research.
The Greek-Armenian teacher of mysticism and spirituality, Georgy Gurdjieff, said that while traveling in Central Asia, he contacted secret masters. It is said that he gained access to secret knowledge and then sent it back to "civilization." He never revealed the identity of these people, the school to which they may or may not belong, and of course he did not reveal their secret whereabouts. Many people claim that Gurdjieff visited the kingdom of Shambhala, hidden somewhere in Inner Asia.
Russian painter, philosopher and writer Nicholas Roerich also explored the area in the 1920s and 30s, making numerous expeditions to Central Asia, but mainly focusing on the Himalayas. Nikolai and his wife Elena acted as guides for the "Sage of the East" known as Mahatma Moria. El Morya, as he was called, oversaw the founding of the Agni Yoga Society and dictated the Agni Yoga book series through Elena.
El Morya gives clues in his work on Shambhala, and ended up becoming quite literal about the mythical paradise, even describing some of the trials one must go through to gain access to the hidden realm. Andrew Thomas writes:
Thus, access to Shambhala is provided with the permission of the Nine, but more importantly, a worthy seeker can only penetrate the veil.
We believe that the Christian idea of heaven is where our souls go if we have been “good” in life. Clouds, harps, angels, the Palace of God - it sounds a lot like the paradise known as Shambhala. A place of spiritual comfort and bliss, where time stands still, because time does not matter for the enlightened.
One of the best descriptions of gaining access to Shambhala can be found in Andrew Thomas's book Shambhala: An Oasis of Light:
Number 9
The number 9 has a long history, so it should come as no surprise that it still appears in places where you least expect it. There are Nine Unknown People who control the sacred information and allow it to spread throughout the world at the right time to facilitate the evolution of humanity.
Why 9? 9 is the number with the highest numerical value in the Base Ten notation that we currently follow, so it symbolizes perfection and completeness. It's almost on an instinctive level and can affect us as such.
The number 9 is revered in Hinduism and is considered a complete, perfect and divine number because it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system, which originated in the Indian subcontinent as early as 3000 BC.
In the Bahá'í Faith, the 9-point star symbolizes religion. Nine is important in Islam too. The most holy month of Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The Quran was revealed to Muhammad in the ninth month of the year. In accordance with Muhammad's own fasting, fervent prayer and possible contact with Allah, all Muslims should do the same.
This is not only an important number in religion, but also in popular culture. John Lennon, perhaps one of the most gifted songwriters of the last century, included this number on one of the Beatles' more esoteric tracks, Revolution 9, on the immortal 1968 album White. Lead vocals throughout the song: repeating phrase “number nine”. Given that Lennon wrote this song after spiritual events in India, using sounds reminiscent of a crumpled remix of a tuned radio station, it is more than likely that he understood the meaning of nine as the number of completeness / perfection without including it. only this song, but also a solo recording which he completed under the title "# 9 Dream".
Numbers do have vibrational power, they are “something” to rely on in this world, they reveal certain secrets of reality and existence, but we also have to be careful with the meanings we give them.
Conspiracy Power
People like to think that they are not in control of their lives. Ask any of the 1.9 billion Christians or 1.1 billion Muslims on this planet who they think is in control of everything and they will say "God" or "Allah." Ask the banker they think is in charge and they can answer “market”; a politician may say that the prime minister or the president is responsible, but what he really means is the banker.
Yes, people love to shift the blame. We love to run away from responsibility, just as we love to be pointlessly faced with situations where these centers of accusations are called to account.
Many conspiracy theories lead to the End of the World scenario. Western society has been guided by the idea of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) since the nuclear bombing of Japan in 1945 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Unlike almost any other end of the world, with MAD we see how our world can end with our own hands. The power she wielded over the population was unlike anything else, and his ghost still hangs over humanity today with the invention of new and more effective weapons.
Are we numb with this idea? The fact that this has not happened yet only adds to our confusion, explains the Sufi anarchist Hakim Bey in TAZ: Temporary Autonomous Zone, ontological anarchy, poetic terrorism:
Seeing that in the end we are more than capable of destroying not only our own species, but all life on the planet, we have done something for our collective psyche. Over the past 70 years, we have experienced this wave of reckless self-destruction, trying to get as much as possible before we die or we all die. Run a race where the winners have not only finished but are also placing bets on who else is going to pass the finish line. Or hurrying in the hope of freeing yourself from the explosion zone. These ideas have driven Western society over the past century, but again, Bey helps us clear things up:
Something new must be born. Not new in the sense that it is just a copy of an old idea, in a new guise of "Hope it works this time." Beware of those who support the importance of freedom. Beware of groups that say they have answers and that you have to believe them.
Young people today, like all young people, are rebelling against society, and that in itself is good, but rebellion is a reaction, and this reaction creates its own pattern, and you fall into that pattern. You think this is something new. Not; it is old in a different form. Any social or political uprising will inevitably return to the good old bourgeois mentality. 7
In the early years of the 20th century, Jiddu Krishnamurti was trained for messianic purposes by the Theosophical Society. Raised in Society, he had to open a new religion to a world lost on the faded ideals of bygone traditions. In an unexpected turn of events, he turned away from his master's plans and went his own way, which is perhaps the easiest way to find something new.
So, dear reader, don't waste too much time thinking about the Nine Unknowns, who they are, where they may be, and what they may or may not do to make your life better or worse. Just take a step back, take stock, take a few deep breaths, and know that life is really what you do.
