Secrets of Being - "Society6 Bible" Empty

This book is perhaps surprisingly poorly. The cover is a simple blue with "Secrets of Being" printed in black on it. It has the look and feel of a print-on-demand book for a convention or business proposal.


Selected Passages:
"Be blessed. You have been chosen from among all others. You have been chosen because you have meaning, you have understanding, you have been gifted with insight that others have not. You have been gifted since your beginning and before. You have been gifted because you were chosen and so your cycle is complete."
"The moment you accept your heritage, the moment you accept your past, the future becomes an opening. Through acceptance is the opening. The animal is the past; it need not be the future. There is no need to go against the past — and you cannot go. Use it creatively."
"You understand language, You understand concept, You understand philosophy. You need not change; you require no transformation. "
"To create doctrine, experience is not needed. Really, on the contrary, the less you know the better because then you can propose concept and structure."

"You feel thirsty, so you drink water. A subtle satisfaction is attained. Forget the water, forget the thirst. Remain with the subtle satisfaction that you are feeling. Be filled with it. It only feels dissatisfactions, discontent. It never feels satisfaction; it never feels content. If you are dissatisfied, you will feel it and you will be filled by it. When you are thirsty, you feel it: you are filled with thirst; you feel it in the throat. If it grows you feel it all over your body, and a moment will come when it is not that YOU are thirsty, you will feel that you have become the thirst."

So this is not a religious text of Ankroptic? Because that’s what I was asking her for.

It does seem to be the main religious text.
It is laid out in several sections.
The first section is similar to the above passages.

The second section goes into deconstructing various aspects of major religious, sparsely picking and choosing passages and explaining how they actually reveal the "true" nature of things and Ankroptic is hidden within the passages. For Christianity it looks at phrases like "ashes to ashes," "returning to the earth," and "Alpha Omega" stuff.
It also explains how there is only Ankroptic and other religions such as Christianity, divide the concept of him into god/satan (good/bad) but it is actually only him. Good followers will be rewarded when joining him and bad followers he will torture.

The third section covers worship and there is surprisingly little in the way of rituals. It seems to encourage followers to continue attending "regular" services and that Ankroptic knows their heart so as long as one worships in any form, but secretly keeps Ankroptic in their hearts while doing so, he will recognize it as worship.

The text, though it covers somewhat other religions, is very Christianity focused. Crossing it with other materials Erin supplied suggests there are other books with their focus being on deconstructing other major religions. IE: You seem to have the predominate version for recruiting within Christianity.
