Freemasons. Noble order or deluded dupes?
Let me begin this story by first
telling the reader that I am not now, nor have I ever been a Mason.
I do confess to having considered the idea. I have spent most of my
life studying the hidden mysteries (occult sciences if you will.)
The lure of joining an organization professing to be the keeper of
ancient and secret knowledge was, I confess, a hard lure to avoid.
I even considered joining the
Rosicrucians. Before the computer, to study Astrology one needed an
ephemeris (a day by day listing of planetary positions.) The
Rosicrucians were the publishers of one of the finest ephemeris you
could get and also claimed to harbor ancient and secret wisdom. I
did not join them either.
Both organizations profess that with
the acquisition of this secret knowledge you will become a better
person.
There is an obvious flaw with this
position. If you have the secret to becoming a better human, why is
it a secret? One can make a valid argument that in antiquity it was
very dangerous to profess knowledge of ideas contrary to the ruling
elite. One need only look at the problems that befell proponents of
the idea that the Earth was not the center of the Universe but
actually revolved around the Sun. The Inquisition is another fine
example of the need to keep forbidden knowledge secret. The question
arises, is the need for secrecy still valid or is the information too
important to remain secret?
You hear a variation of this argument
in almost every discussion of Nostradamus. If Nostradamus knew that
these vile and evil deeds were to be perpetrated on the Human Race,
why didn't he just say so plainly. I have even heard a pair (Well,
one of a pair. The other just points.) of magicians claim that if
Nostradamus knew of these events and didn't tell us plainly, he was
the vilest of all Humans. (Of course, the people who would have
killed him or worse had he spoken plainly were not vile at all.)
On a small side note, I do not fault
this pair for calling themselves Magi (magicians) as they had no hand
in the corruption of the word to mean tricksters. I too find fault
with Nostradamus, though not for his cryptic writing. I find fault
with Nostradamus for the burning of his library, a crime of
unimaginable proportions. However, having been on the receiving end
of government persecution I do, now, better understand his actions.
Ditto with that moron who burned the library at Alexandria, with the
exception that he did not fear persecution. But, then again,
knowledge in the hands of the masses has always been the Achilles
heel of rulers. Why do you think that secrecy is so important? If
you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding it? Are you
ashamed of what you are doing? If you were doing something truly
noble and for the good of all, wouldn't you want everyone to know
about it? Honest humility would still not justify secrecy. The more
that know, the more help you may attract.
While I am on this diversion, let me
state the obvious. I find it extremely curious that the people who
speak out against astrology as a silly superstition, have never
studied astrology. I have gone the way of Newton who is credited
with the statement; "Astrology has commanded my unwilling belief."
Astrology has been around for longer
than recorded history. It could not have survived for this long
without some basis in fact. Imagine, those otherwise highly
intelligent people like Newton, Copernicus, Kepler, Egyptians and
Aztecs, just to name a few, were so fooled by what is so obviously a
silly superstition.
This brings us back on point. I have
studied astrology for my entire adult lifetime. I have found that a
great deal of astrological knowledge has been lost in antiquity.
(Not surprising with morons burning libraries.) With this thought in
mind I have attempted to trace astrology back through time. You
can't study the origins of astrology without running into what I
believe to be Masonic lore. (Remember, I am not a Mason and have
never been one.)
The obvious question has many times
come to mind. If you are bound by oath not to discuss your beliefs
with outsiders, then what can they say that you can believe? Either
they are breaking their oath or they are lying. Neither option leads
to credibility. (Don't forget that telling the truth in such a way
as to mislead the listener is still lying. Deception is still the end result. Look to the lawyers as an obvious example.)
There is a convenient aspect to not
speaking of your beliefs with outsiders. Many religions have adopted
this same attitude. If I do not discuss my beliefs with unbelievers,
they can't point out the flaws in what I have been told to believe.
Buddha is credited with the statement;
"Question everything, even the things I say. The Truth is the
Truth and will withstand scrutiny." If my beliefs are wrong, the
faster I find out, the better off I will be. Ignorance is just
ignorant.
The Revisionist History channel* has
claimed that the formation of the United States of America was a
Mason plot. I have no trouble believing this. If it is true, then
God bless the Masons. I question the proposed fact that the belief
of the Masons of 1776 is the same belief of the Masons of today. I
personally believe that the Mason teaching has been corrupted between
1776 and 2009.
Let me prove my point.
We should start with their name. The
Free Masons. Now let us look at the United States of America. The
land of the Free. Good match. Let's assume that there were some
Masons living there. It would then be the United States of America,
land of the free, Mason or not.
I have seen books on the Masons that
claim that the Masons are keepers of the knowledge of Solomon and
that he was the keeper of the ancient Egyptian knowledge. You know,
the people that Moses once worked for.
Well, you can't study the origins of
Astrology and not run into the ancient Egyptians or the Maya for that
matter. If you insist, let's just call them astronomers at least.
There can be no doubt that the Egyptians were students of the sky.
Even that moron skeptic that the Revisionist History channel uses
would have to admit that. ( I guess he still doesn't believe that
the Earth is round? He needs more evidence.)
If you are a student of the sky, you
must know that the planet Venus traces out a five pointed star in the
Heavens. This would also seem to indicate that a knowledge of
mathematics and astronomy would be important. Unless, of course, you
believe that the alignment of the pyramids was just a cute
coincidence, all over the world. Solomon just got lucky too. It is
also just a strange coincidence that the Masons are connected with
the five pointed star and pyramids are important to them. The
obelisk is just a coincidence too.
It has been my experience that you can
not make a serious study of Astrology and not be hit with the
inescapable conclusion that destiny is as real as the air you breath.
If destiny is real than one does not change one's stars, one
fulfills the promise of one's chart. There, but for the grace of
God, walk I. The ability to choose to do the right thing is more
important than life itself. You've heard it said. Live Free or die.
Death before dishonor. The purpose of Life is to improve yourself.
The only person you can truly control.
The Masons of antiquity, it is
reported, lived in a world without borders. They could come and go
as they pleased and were, basically, free from harassment from the
Kings and lords.
Now, let's look at the Nation that was
started as a Masonic plot. All men created equal, endowed by their
creator with unalienable rights. All people would be kings and could
come and go as they pleased. Free from the demands of a master, save
God.
There is nothing inconsistent in the
formation of this once great country with the teaching of the
ancients. Start at Moses if you like. It is my belief that the
"scientific" history of Egypt is, for want of a better
description, Totally Bogus.
Now, look at today. Is there any
doubt that Freemasonry is alive and going strong? Yet, there can be no
doubt that the United States of America has been overthrown and the
once Sovereign People have been enslaved. The proof is undeniable.
The country, as it stands today, is
totally out of sync with the beliefs of the Masons of 1776.
There can only be only a few possible
explanations for this.
The Masons of 1776 utterly failed in
their attempt to create a new world order with all under the dominion
of a King with Masons controlling everything and everyone. The
Masons only finally succeeded in 1867. The new world order and the
old world order were the same, just now the Masons would be the
kings.
The Masons of 1776 completely
succeeded in their goals when they formed this nation, a true new
world order, but were again defeated in 1867 when congress was
overthrown and the 14th amendment was enacted. Since then the
Masons have been ineffectual in their efforts to recreate the new
world order where all are created equal and their rights protected.
With freedom and justice for all.
The principals of the Masons have been
corrupted between 1776 and 1867. Now the new world order has been
corrupted and is the same as the old world order. A king dominating
all just now with the Masons at the top. The Masons of 1776 were
just confused.
It is the problem inherent in any
secret organization. Or, if you will, a public organization with
secrets. If you can control the secrets for just a small period of
time, you can change the secrets. Who's to know?
I do know that there are only a hand
full of Masons that I have had any dealings with. At least people
that I believe to be Masons and do claim to be. I do know that this
small sampling was as far from becoming better people than I could
imagine.
Let me give you a trivial example. I
was stopped at a stop light and there were Masons collecting money.
When one got to my car he was wearing an apron that claimed: I am
proud to be a Mason. I asked him; Wasn't pride one of the 7 deadly
sins? To my mind, pride is the opposite of humility. Was he on his
way to becoming a better person? Is pride now a virtue and humility
a sin? Is that a Mason secret?
Don't get me wrong. This nation would
not have been started without an organization like the Masons. If
you are going to have the freedom to speak freely, you need an
organization where you can trust the people in the room. If your
free speech includes seditious or heretical thoughts you must have
some reassurance that the person sitting next to you is not going to
run tell the King or Church what you said. Death has usually been a
pretty good deterrent to carriers of tales. Stoolies if you will.
This brings us to another point. One
of the reasons that I could not join the Masons is that it is my
belief that you now have to swear obedience to the hierarchy of the
Masons. So much for Free Masons. If this is indeed true, they
should now be called the subservient Masons, for free they no longer
are.
I was forced to join the military.
This is where I learned the true meaning of slavery. I vowed to
never knowingly subjugate my will to the will of another. They tried
to forced me, under pain of imprisonment and/or death to go and kill
people who had never done me any harm. Why? Because they said so.
The boogie man was coming. Trust them. Politicians wouldn't lie to
me, would they?
This is, by the way, the reason I
began to study law. If they could do this to me, this was not a free
country. My unalienable rights had indeed been alienated. How could
this be? In fact, it is the beginning of the quest of my life, both
in religion and in law. Just what game are we playing, and what,
exactly, are the rules? I truly began to follow the teaching of
Buddha. I began to question everything. I didn't care who said it.
The Truth is the Truth. It will withstand scrutiny.
One last point. Let's take a look at
the Jefferson memorial and the inscription it contains.
"I
have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form
of tyranny over the mind of man." This sentence is taken from a
September 23, 1800, letter by Jefferson to Dr. Benjamin Rush wherein
he defends the constitutional refusal to recognize a state religion.
Was Jefferson a Mason. Who knows for
sure? There seems to be some controversy. The point is that this
statement is, to my knowledge, fully in accord with the free Mason
teachings of 1776.
Are the Masons of 2009 just as
ignorant of the overthrow of the United States as I was? Or, are
they in cahoots? If they have been a party to the overthrow of the
United States, then it is obvious that their Craft has been
corrupted. It is self-evident.
Is it so hard to believe? The
evidence is undeniable that We, the People of the United States have
been lied to on a grand scale. Is it so hard to believe that the
Masons have been lied to too. There is no other choice. They were
either treasonous conspirators or ignorant dupes. There is no third
choice. Who knows, maybe their lodge is a bona fide residence?
Maybe that's one of their secrets. They kept their rights while they
stole ours.
There can be no doubt that the lawyers
are aware of the Overthrow of the United States. If the Masons are
unaware, it would mean that their "brothers" who are also lawyers
have betrayed them. Go figure, they have betrayed everyone else,
including their own biological families. Did they lie to their
fraternal brothers too?
This is a question to be answered by
Masons. Maybe it is time to start questioning the secrets passed
down. Maybe it is time for Masons to start asking what their rituals
really mean and where do they originate? Don't forget, Hitler also created bogus history and rituals. The Truth is the Truth. It
will withstand scrutiny.
Are the Masons still a noble order or
deluded dupes? Ask a Mason.
* One obvious example. In one of the
Revisionist History channel's stories about Nostradamus they claim
that Ophiuchus is the 13th sign. It may be true that
Ophiuchus is a constellation that, if added to the widely known 12
sign zodiac, would make a zodiac of 13 signs, but, it would still not
be the 13th sign. It would be 9 of 13. Unless of course
you can believe that the circle of Life has a giant dent in it. That
we count the signs until Pisces and then we go all the way across the
sky to number 13 and then back across the sky to Aries as number 1.
I have yet to see the Sun conform to their theory.
