FREEMASONS - a Virus infecting Western Society
PART 2 – WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?
“Masonry is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic ritual and what is left?” - THE JEWISH TRIBUNE, New York, Oct. 28, 1927, Cheshvan 2, 5688, Vol. 91, No. 18
I shall make a couple of statements and then confirm those statements, but as far possible I shall quote Masons. Let them speak for themselves – then it is not an opinion but their own statements. The reason I shall quote the following Masons Albert Pike, Dr. Albert G. Mackey mostly is that these two persons are listed by Freemasonry manuals and monitors (like the Ahiman Rezon, and lodges various own lodges Manuals and Monitors) as prominent masonic authorities. In fact they sum up Pike as follows - “Brother Albert Pike, one of the most illustrious Masons in all the ages, and who was an acknowledged authority upon all Masonic questions...”
These statements will be:
- Freemasonry is a religion not a social organisation
- Freemasonry works as an Esoteric and Exoteric religion
- Freemasonry is an extension the Ancient Mystery Religions through the Kabbalah
- These Ancient Mystery religions are the worship of Satan and his Fallen Angels
Freemasonry is a religion
Masons often claim that it as a mere social organisation – if that was true why are there such an incredible number of books written by senior Freemasons that state exactly the opposite. Would a social organisation have in its libraries a collection of more a thousand books that state that it is a religion? It is and always has been a religion.
Dr. Albert G. Mackey, himself a 33 degree mason and seen by Masons as one of the most recognized authorities on Masonry wrote in Encyclopedia of Freemasonry (This is a standard work among Masons):
“I am not disposed to yield, on the subject of the religious character of Masonry, quite so much as has been yielded by more timid brethren. On the contrary, I contend, without any sort of hesitation, that Masonry is, in every sense of the word, except one, and that its least philosophical, an eminently religious institution — that it is indebted solely to the religious element which it contains for its origin and for its continued existence, and that without this religious element it would scarcely be worthy of cultivation by the wise and good” - pg. 640
Albert G MacKey also states that “But before we can properly appreciate the theory which associates Freemasonry with the Pagan Mysteries, we must make ourselves acquainted with the nature and the design as well as with something of the history of those mystical societies.” so in order to understand Freemasonry we shall understand the workings of the Esoteric Mystery Schools.”
Charles Albert Snodgrass states that Masonry is “a fraternity teaching spiritual faith by allegory and moral science by symbols” (p. xvi). “Its purpose is to inculcate due reverence for Almighty God and true Brotherhood among men” (p. 162). - Light From the Sanctuary of the Royal Arch
“Freemasonry is therefore more than a mere social organization a few centuries old, and can be regarded as a perpetuation of the philosophical mysteries and initiations of the ancients.” and “With vivid allegory and profound philosophical disquisition he expounds the sublime teachings of Freemasonry, older than all
religions, as universal as human aspiration.” - Manly P Hall in The Lost Keys of Freemasonry
Freemasonry works as an Esoteric and Exoteric religion
Esoteric “knowledge,” available only to initiates, and exoteric “knowledge,” available to the uninitiated out those outside the organisation has always been part of the mystery schools workings – just so it it how Freemasonry works.
In Mystery Schools going back to before Babylon and Egypt they have always had two groups, the INNER/ initiated and the OUTER/uninitiated groups. The Inner group has secret special knowledge only they know while the outer circle knows very little about the inner workings of the Mystery School.
“The esoteric sacred texts that the initiated keep available only to those having achieved a certain “spiritual” level — are a very small part of their “sacred” scriptures. Thus the esoteric texts are only a tiny percentage of their overall sacred scriptures – but they are the essence of their believes.” - Manly P Hall in Lost Keys of Freemasonry
Albert Pike in Morals and Dogmastates, “Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from tl1em, and todraw them away from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it. So God Himself incapacitates many men, by color-blindness, to distinguish colors, and leads the masses away from the highest Truth, giving them the power to attain only so much of it as it is profitable to them to know.”
Pike further more states - “It is in its antique symbols and their occult meaning that the true secrets of Freemasonry consist. But these have no value if we see nothing in the symbols of the blue lodge beyond the imbecile pretenses of interpretations of them contained in our monitors. People have overlooked the truth that the symbols of antiquity were not used to reveal but to conceal. Each symbol is an enigma to be solved, and not a lesson to be read. How can the intelligent Mason fail to see that the blue degrees are but preparatory, to enlist and band together the rank and file Masonic army for purposes undisclosed to them, that they are the lesser mysteries in which the symbols are used to conceal the truth?”
Dr. G McKay in Encyclopedia of Freemasonry “, “Among all the nations of antiquity in which refinement and culture had given an elevated tone to the religious sentiment, there existed two systerns of worship, a public and a private one. "Each of the pagan Gods," says Warburton, "had (besides the public and open) a secret worship paid unto him, to which none were admitted but those who had been selected by preparatory ceremonies, called INITIATION. This secret worship was called the MYSTERIES."
ibid - “They adopted symbols and allegories with which to teach esoterically their false doctrines. The earliest of these seceders were the Egyptians, whose priests secreted the mysteries of their religion from the multitude by symbols and hieroglyphics that were comprehensible to the members of their own order only. A similar system was adopted by the priests of Greece and Rome when they established their peculiar Mysteries. These examples of conveying truth by symbolic methods of teaching were wisely followed by the Masons for the purpose of concealing their own mysteries.”
“The initiated brother realizes that his so called symbols and rituals are merely blinds fabricated by the wise to perpetuate ideas incomprehensible to the average individual.” -
An other mason sums it ups as follows - “Few Masons, if any, regardless of rank or station, ever learned very much of its profound philosophy, its religious meaning or faith, or its scientific and spiritual truths” (Light From the Sanctuary of the Royal Arch, p. ix). - Charles Albert Snodgrass, a 32 Degree Mason.
The uninitiated is given the Christian doctrine watered down while the inintiated gets the full “knowledge” - SATAN IS THE TRUE GOD (The Good One) while YAHWEH IS THE BAD GOD!
The three lowest level of Freemasonry is part of the total uninitiated, from level 4 to 32 it is steps where the member is given more and more “knowledge” and level 33 they are fully initiated and pray direct to Lucifer/Satan.
Freemasonry is an extension the Ancient Mystery Religions through the Kabbalah
See attached diagram (Mystery Schools to Freemasonry) to see the path from The Ancient Mystery Religions Freemasonry and beyond to today - To note in this diagram:
- Esoteric Religions are the worship of the Fallen Angels / Satan in esoteric mystery secrets – they worship exactly the opposite of what they externally portray
- Judiasm (Kabbalah), Catholicism and Islam come out of the same source
- The Kabbalah is the worship of the Fallen Angels in Writing
- Gnostics and thereby all New Age religions take their “knowledge” from the Kabbalah
- The Templars worshipped Baphomet (The Horned One) / Pan / Ossiris or Satan – which is the same god that Freemasonry worship
- Illuminati & Jacobites comes out of Freemasonry (not the other way around) – Weishaupt recruited from the Freemasons, these recruited ones influenced Freemasonry
- There are many links between Jesuits and Freemasonry (Scottish Free Rite levels and Jesuit levels virtually identical for example)
- Please take note although not part of this discussion the Catholic Church work in exactly the same way – the worship of the top (inner) structure is totally opposite of the worship of the outer circle.
Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma, “The communication of this knowledge and other secrets, some of which are perhaps lost, constituted, under other names, what we now call Masonry, or Free, or Frank-Masonry . . . The present name of the Order, and Its titles, and the names of the Degrees now in use, were not then known . . . But, by whatever name it was known in this or the other country, Masonry existed as it now exists, the same in spirit and at heart . . . before even the first colonies emigrated into Southern India, Persia, and Egypt, from the cradle of the human race - pg. 207-208
"The Gnostics derived their leading doctrines and ideas from Plato and Philo, the Zend-avesta and the Kabalah,and the Sacred books of India and Egypt; and thus introduced into the bosom of Christianity the cosmological and theosophical speculations, which had formed the larger portion of the ancient religions of the Orient, joined to those of the Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish doctrines, which the New-Platonists had equally adopted in the Occident" – Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma pg.248
These Ancient Mystery religions are the worship of Satan and his Fallen Angels
Ancient Mystery Schools is nothing else but the worship of the Fallen Angels – Satan and the angels who rebelled with him against YAHWEH.
The Secret Knowledge of the initiated is given to them my spirits (demons) and specify the worship of an other god than YAHWEH. They invert the knowledge and worship of YAHWEH into the secret worship and knowledge of the Fallen Angels/Satan.
Morals and Dogma,
“The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of Atheism or Idolatry”
“To conceive of God as an actuality, and not as a mere non- substance or name, which involved non-existence, the Kabala, like the Egyptians, imagined Him to be "a most occult Light,"
“For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty or Free Will. They represent this Force, which presides over the physical generation, under the mythologic and horned form of the God PAN; thence came the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient Serpent, and the Light-bearer or Phosphor, of which the poets have made the false Lucifer of the legend.”
Confirmation from other sources:
“When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and
before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy. He must follow in the footsteps of his forefather, Tubal-Cain, who with the mighty strength of the war god hammered his sword into a plowshare.” - Manly P Hall in The Lost Keys of Freemasonry
In The Secret Doctrine by HP Blavatsky she explains that “The Kabbalists say that the true name of Satan is that of Jehovah placed upside down, for "Satan is not a black god but the negation of the white deity," or the light of Truth.” Makes you understand the so called Star of David (invertion of YAHWEH to get name of Satan a little better).
For the initiated Lucifer/Satan – symbolised by the horned god (Pan) / he-goat off the Sabbat / Ancient Serpent. To see how much that is prevalent in Masonic symbolism.
That makes very clear what Freemasonry is - and always has been - the religion of the worship of Satan and Fallen Angels.
The symbolism of Freemasonry and the historical links to ancient Israel is next.....
