Hokus Pokus: A Practical Guide To Deconstruction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798868917271)

The picture of Plato's Allegory of the Cave on the front cover is a visual image that reflects the contents of this book. There are prisoners in a cave who are chained to a wall, staring at shadows since childhood, and believing the shadows are real.

"Hokus Pokus - A Practical Guide to Deconstruction" by Francis Marion is packed with thought-provoking insights that deconstruct the hokus pokus and delusional thinking of man-made religion. Readers will be challenged by a wide variety of topics that give meaningful answers to difficult questions. The book examines a multitude of interesting topics such as spiritual gaslighting, fearmongering, Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," The Wizard of Oz, fairy tales, Bible stories, and Hollywood movies that illustrate the universal truth hidden in allegories and symbolisms. "Hokus Pokus" guides readers toward a life changing discovery of deeper spiritual truths beyond the dogmas and creeds of traditional religion.

Hokus Pokus tackles the really BIG questions and explains in detail how religion has reinvented God, Jesus, Paul, and much more to create a self-serving religious system that keeps humanity in bondage to fear, guilt, and condemnation. Drawing inspiration from Thomas Paine, Francis Marion is a modern-day spokesperson who challenges individuals to wake up and realize the "shadows" created by mainstream religion are not real. The book draws on the wisdom and knowledge of the Gnostic Gospels and other ancient texts to reveal a higher spiritual knowledge revealed in esoteric or hidden teachings.

Francis Marion pulls the curtain back and compares man-made religion to the "Wizard of Oz" who was a fraud and trickster. Hokus Pokus sounds the alarm that the Father of Lies is disguised as an angel of light, using institutional religion as a worldwide platform to deceive humanity. Hokus Pokus looks at the counterfeit spirit, the "god of this world," and the existence of invisible rulers referenced in ancient texts and the Bible. These malevolent powers and principalities torment humanity by manipulating thoughts, emotions, and actions to sow chaos, confusion, and fear. Readers will discover how these forces employ counterfeit spirits to transform good into evil, light into darkness, and truth into hokus pokus.

Francis Marion offers his readers the opportunity to escape the bondage of the "cave" and embrace the truth that lies beyond the shadows that are not real. Prepare to be challenged, enlightened, and ultimately awakened by "Hokus Pokus - A Practical Guide to Deconstruction."
