There are books of secret or, as they are also called, forbidden knowledge, access to which is open only to the initiated. Acquaintance with them to ordinary people can turn into unpredictable and sometimes very unpleasant consequences for them.
Esoteric experts believe that the most ancient and mysterious book in the history of mankind is a manuscript known as "Jiang's Stanzas". Who wrote it and when is unknown. There is even a legend that this is a body of knowledge brought to Earth by aliens from Venus, who passed it on to the most ancient civilization that once existed in Asia.
The first reliable information about this book is associated with the name of the ancient Greek sage and miracle worker Apollonius of Tyana, who lived in the 1st century AD. From his biography it is clear that this Greek traveled for a long time in India and that the brahmana priests treated him as an equal, revealing to the sage who came from afar more than was ever revealed to a Western man. They introduced Apollonius to many books that contained the wisdom of the past. Among them were the "Jiang's Stanzas".
Thanks to them, Apollonius of Tyana acquired a wide variety of supernatural abilities, about which all sorts of legends circulate among esotericists.
After Apollonius of Tyana for many centuries, the "Stanzas of Jiang" remained a real secret behind seven seals for Western mystics and occultists. One can only guess who read the ancient manuscript and what were the consequences for these people. But with the passage of time, home-grown lovers of mysticism and simply curious ones showed interest in him. All of them, of course, cannot be classified as initiated, that is, spiritually advanced people. And it was not slow to affect.
Beginning in the middle of the 19th century, it became clear that people who claimed to have read Jiang's Stanzas were bound to have accidents, and some even died tragically.
A prominent esotericist, Frenchman Jacques Bergier, author of the famous work "Morning of the Magicians", investigated this phenomenon and came to the conclusion that it really took place. As a typical example, he cites the story of the Russian writer and mystic Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.
It is known that there are people over whom evil fate seems to gravitate. It was such a person that Blavatsky was. From the very birth - she was born on July 31, 1831 - she was relentlessly pursued by all kinds of misfortunes. It began with the fact that during the baptism the cassock on the priest caught fire. From the age of five, Lena sowed unaccountable anxiety and even inexplicable fear around herself. Without even realizing what she was doing, the little girl hypnotized her playmates: with mental orders she made them crawl on the ground and eat grass.

At the age of 15, the matured Elena suddenly showed the gift of clairvoyance. Without leaving the house, she said where the criminal was hiding, whom the police could not find. And at evenings she suddenly began to talk about serf girls seduced by some landowner. Naturally, such unusual behavior instilled confusion in the minds of others.
And then at the family council it was decided to give Elena in marriage in order to put an end to her extravagant antics. But soon after the wedding, she ran away from her betrothed, got to Odessa and boarded a ship sailing to Constantinople. However, the young woman did not stay there long. Some unknown force, as Elena Petrovna later admitted, forced her to move to Egypt: first to Alexandria, which was once the center of early Christianity, and then to Cairo.
In the Egyptian capital, Madame Blavatsky became close friends with a powerful oriental magician, a Coptic by origin, that is, from among the Egyptians professing Christianity. The stars told him - or so he claimed - that the young Russian woman has a special purpose in life, in which her clairvoyant gift will play an important role. True, at the same time, the magician did not say what exactly this purpose was. But on the other hand, he spoke about the existence of a "forbidden and very dangerous book", which a Russian madam can read if she really wants to.
Of course, Blavatsky expressed such a desire, and her mentor taught her how to read Jiang's Stanzas using clairvoyance, since the book itself is very far away. According to Elena Petrovna, it took her more than one month to comprehend "the wisdom of the ages, hidden in an ancient treatise."
When "Jiang's Stanzas" were read, a new period began in Blavatsky's life, nothing like the previous one. From Cairo, she moves to Paris, where she lives comfortably on the money that her father sends from Russia. Then he goes to London, where he meets a man named Kut Humi Lal Sing, a very mysterious person, because of whom Blavatsky with her mysticism was drawn into the world of secret services, no less mysterious for the uninitiated, with their constant confrontation. According to one version, K. Kh. - so called the Indian people who knew him closely - was a secret agent of the British Intelligence Service.
Despite the warning of acquaintances regarding K. Kh.'s dubious role, the Russian occultist became very interested in this person. The main thing turned out to be that they looked at the world in the same way, because they knew about it immeasurably more than ordinary people, for Sing had also read Jiang's Stanzas.
A lively correspondence began between Madame Blavatsky and Coot Humi Lal Sing. Later, some of the letters were published and only today can be appreciated. For example, K. Kh. writes about the danger of weapons, the action of which is based on the use of internal energy, and about the resulting need to keep some secrets from people. That is, we are clearly talking about atomic energy. And this is in the last century! And his correspondent, in a response message, discusses the fragility of the boundaries between spirit and flesh and their mutual transformation.
In general, in her letters, Blavatsky looks like one of the most educated and knowledgeable women in scientific matters of the 19th century.
Here is what Jacques Bergier writes about this: “It is enough to read the books published under her name, for example, The Secret Doctrine, Isis without Veils, and Archaic Symbolism of Religion, to be convinced of the breadth and depth of her education - from linguistics to nuclear physics., and besides, all the knowledge of her time, and our era, as well as several as yet non-existent sciences."
This opinion was also shared by Blavatsky's secretary, a brilliantly educated Cambridge graduate, George
Robert Stowe Mead, who believed that this amazing Russian woman had a universal culture far ahead of her time. So, in her "Isis without veils" she quotes about one and a half thousand books. Moreover, all the quotes are correct, although these books have never been in her personal library. Elena Petrovna herself constantly asserted that she got all her knowledge from "Jiang's Stanzas".
This forbidden book became the cause of all her subsequent troubles.
In 1852, Madame Blavatsky went to India. And here's what's surprising. Just as at the beginning of our era the local brahmins and magicians treated Apollonius of Tyana as an equal, so they treated this woman from the West. The best evidence is the text of "Jiang's Stanzas" presented to Elena Petrovna. Upon returning to New York, she translated it into English and placed it in the safe of one of the reputable banks.
In 1855, Blavatsky again came to the "wonderland", intending to penetrate from Calcutta into the reserved Tibet. But the expedition breaks down. And the Russian madame receives the first warning: if she does not return "Jiang's Stanza", she will be in big trouble.
Blavatsky did not want to part with the ancient treatise. The payback for disobedience followed immediately. In Europe, she is overtaken by a serious illness, and doctors cannot make a diagnosis. In addition, in her sleep and in reality, Elena Petrovna is haunted by terrible visions. No protective magic means help. Someone invisibly, but quite tangibly, stubbornly pursues the occultist. From the point of view of modern extrasensory perception, most likely, Madame Blavatsky became a victim of distant telepathic "scruiting", that is, mental pressure. Like a hunted beast, she rushes about Europe, finding no rest anywhere.
Only a new voyage to distant India brings relief: there, with the help of yogis, Blavatsky finally finds peace of mind. But the forbidden book is still with her, and it makes itself felt. She returns to Europe on a ship sailing through the recently opened Suez Canal. It explodes at night. Most of the passengers and crew members are killed, although Madame Blavatsky herself miraculously survived. The investigation was never able to establish the causes of the disaster.
Elena Petrovna was convinced that the whole thing was in "Jiang's Stances", and held a press conference in London at which she was going to tell reporters about the forbidden book, thinking that in this way she would save her life. But on the morning of the appointed day, it turned out that the book kept in the safe of her hotel had disappeared. How this happened, no one could explain. And during a press conference, some madman fired several shots at Blavatsky and, fortunately, missed. Later, during interrogation by the police, the attempted murderer stated that he was controlled from a distance, but he himself did not understand what he was doing.
Elena Petrovna was terribly frightened. Now she had no doubt that some very powerful secret organization had taken up arms against her. Moreover, its arsenal is huge: from the means of black magic, that is, negative orica in modern terminology, to the use of various organizations, including state ones, for their own purposes.
Subsequent events confirmed her worst fears. Overseas, Blavatsky met with an American businessman, Colonel Henry Steele Olcott, who was fond of everything unusual.
The Russian occultist, who enjoyed great fame at that time, simply bewitched him. In September 1875, they jointly founded the "Theosophical Society" for the study of the occult sciences.
one of his first, as they would say now, PR acts was to be the burning of the remains of a member of this society, the famous adventurer Baron de Malm. Cremation was then new and unusual in America. A special permit was required to carry it out. But as soon as the body of the baron was placed in the oven, the right hand of the deceased rose to the sky in protest. Literally at the same instant, a terrible fire broke out in Brooklyn. A large theater building caught fire and two hundred New Yorkers died in the fire. The city was terrified. Although the fire clearly did not start by accident, but was the result of a well-planned sabotage, the police did not look for arsonists. The newspapermen, however, blamed the Theosophists for everything.
After some time, Colonel Olcott and Madame Blavatsky decided to go to India to establish contact with the Grand Masters of the Masonic White Lodge. The US government took the expedition so seriously that the 19th President, Republican Rutherford Burchard Hayes, appointed both as his special representatives, and the State Department issued diplomatic passports to them.
On February 16, 1879, a small expedition arrived in India. And the very next day all documents and money were stolen from the travelers. After some time, the British colonial police managed to recover the stolen money. But the documents without which Olcott and Madame Blavatsky could not claim diplomatic immunity were never found.
This was a declaration of merciless war on them. Wherever they then went, they were immediately detained and searched. It is not known how the police pursuit would have ended if Colonel Alcott had not presented a personal message from the President of the United States to the authorities.
After that, the police quieted down, but threats against Blavatsky herself became more frequent: if she continues to repeat everywhere about "Jiang's Stances", let her prepare for the worst.
Madame Blavatsky ignored the threat. And then unknown persecutors struck a vital place for her: the British Society for Psychical Research published a conclusion drawn up by Dr. Hodgson, in which she was called an ordinary charlatan, and all her stories - a fraud. Blavatsky did not recover from this blow. Morally broken, Elena Petrovna publicly expressed regret that she was promoting "Jiang's Stanzas." Alas, it didn't help. She was again haunted by nightmarish visions, clearly directed by someone. The result is severe depression. In such a deplorable state, Blavatsky spent the rest of her days on the Rue Notre-Dame-de-Chan in Paris until her death in 1891, to meet with whom, obeying some mysterious impulse, she went to London.
As for the "powerful organization", there is a hypothesis according to which a secret "Black Order" has been operating on our planet for more than one millennium. He makes sure that humanity does not receive knowledge that is ahead of its spiritual development. In other words, there is a conspiracy of certain individuals who are convinced that science, technology and, in general, any knowledge are dangerous and, therefore, must be under constant control. When scientific discoveries and inventions are consigned to oblivion, without having time to become common property, or books containing "forbidden" knowledge disappear, behind all this there are "men in black", that is, members of this order.
