How much about the esoteric, spiritual, occultism, religion currents are actually telling us the truth about the reality we live in?

Since I have entered these circles of knoledge, I learned that those who gobverns us don't want us to know he truth, yet even a kid could access all of this stuff and become enlightened, meaning they are not trying to stop the "spiritual awakening" at all, which on my perspective just makes it another trap placed by them, or it is not the complete truth at least.
