SO, WHAT IS MASONRY?

 

My dad James Ruffino, before his death compiled quite a deal of information about Masonry. He got interested in Masonry when someone tried to get him to join the order. He didn't join because he didn't feel well about Masonry. At that time he really didn't know why he felt that way. Later, when my dad became a Christian, he studied about it and realized why he never had the urge to get into the organization. Below I will document what he found.

At first, I would like add a link to a letter by a man named Jim Shaw. My dad didn't know Jim, but was impressed enough by his letter to document it. I found out today that Jim Shaw died in 1997. So, since I am not able to contact Mr. Shaw, I would like to honor him by including his letter anyway.

Finally, before the start of the document, I would like to mention my purpose of putting this on the Internet. It is not my purpose to offend anyone, although I have no doubt that some will be offended. My first reason for publishing this is to warn those who haven't yet joined, or are thinking of joining about the dangers and hidden meanings of Masonry. Second, I think that those who have joined and yet feel uneasy about Masonry should know why they feel the way they do.

Now we will continue with the study that my dad did on the subject of Masonry.

MASONRY, FACT AND FICTION

Revelation 22:19

"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the Holy City, and from things which are written in this book."

The following, and the source(s) herein, except my own statements, are taken mainly from the highest sources of masonry, as will be described clearly, and still apply today. So if anyone disagrees with the contents, they have only to find for themselves the truth from the authority. Again, the information contained here, if from the Mason's highest authority, and are you encouraged to search them yourselves. If any Mason feels or states that any part of this document does not apply then he hasn't been well versed in his own order.

If you the reader are a Mason you are perhaps going to be surprised when you read this because the contents sound so overwhelming that it seems too absurd to be true.

Brief passages will be quoted so as to leave no doubt as to the authenticity of the said statements and passages, and for the most part, will be taken from Masons or former Masons themselves.

"Satanic ritual is a blend of Gnostic, Kabbalistic, Hermetic, and Masonry elements, incorporating nomenclature and vibratory words of power from virtually every mythos."

THE SATANIC RITUALS COMPANION TO THE SATANIC BIBLE
By Anton Szandor LaVey

Anton LaVey, the founder and leader of the Church of Satan, gives repeated reference to Masonry in the above book. On page 21 of his book, he concedes that modern Satanism draws heavily on Masonic rituals and teaching.

"The ceremony of stifling air," according to La Vey, this rite was originally performed "when entering the sixth degree of the Order of the Knights Templer."

The Knights Templer were the forerunners of freemasonry! In fact, if you would turn to the book entitled:

MORALS AND DOGMA OF THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY,

you will find that the Knights Templar are mentioned on page 4m, that they boast to be consistent with the profession of Masonry.

Now about the author of Dogma:

The author, Albert Pike, by 1889 simultaneously occupied the positions of Grand Master of the Central Directory of Washington, D.C., (the head of D.C. Masonry) and So Verign Pontiff of Universal Masonry, (head of world Masonry).

His authority is still being held as it was at the time.

I have heard it said that they don't use his work anymore, so let me enlighten the reader of the following:

"The following work has been prepared by the authority of the Supreme Council of the Thirty-third Degree, for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, By the Grand Commander,........, and is specially intended to be read and studied... buy the brethren....."

(Source)

Behind The Lodge Door
Fisher, Paul A.

Pike was and is Scottish Rite Masonry's highest authority. In fact, see the below; as told by the below author: "He recast the old Scottish Rite ritual and brought them to their present state of perfection."

(Source)

Joseph Fort Newton: "The Builders"

If any Mason who still believes that Masonry is based on the word of God, he should continue to read the following, remembering the author, Pike, is a man still respected by the brotherhood, the Masons.

On July 14, 1889, he issued formal written instruction to the "23" Supreme Councils of the world. Here he gives us a very good look at the inner order of Masonry. As follows:

"That which we say to the crowd is 'we worship God', but it is the God that one adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors, General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees, the Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luceferian doctrine."

And then goes on to say:

"If Lucifer were not God, would not Adonay (the God of the Christians), whose deeds prove his cruelty....and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priest calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately, Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black."............

"Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; But Lucifer, god of light and god of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of darkness and evil."

Occult Theocracy
p. 220-221
Author, Historian Edith Starr Miller

Pike intended the degrees leading up to the thirteenth degree to serve as a training school to gradually condition and prepare the candidate for the ultimate acceptance of Luceriferic initiation.

In Masonry, every thing has a double meaning. Thus, the candidate is practicing occultism throughout his degrees without knowing it. False interpretations are given to keep him from suspecting the institution to be anything less than noble and upright in purpose.

This deception, this false interpretation is called allegory. Allegory is defined as; something where the language is one thing and the meaning is another.

And

Freemasonry is defined as: "Freemasonry is a beautiful system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated in symbols."

Mackey, supra. p.235

And again, referring to Masonry:
"......It is a far more occult organization than can be realized, and is intended to be the training school for coming advanced occultists. In it ceremonials lies hid the wielding forces connected with the growth and life of the kingdoms of nature and the unfoldment of the divine aspects of man."

The Externalization of the Hierarchy
By Alice Bailey. P. 511

Alice bailey is a former head of the Theosophical Society. That society has a great interest in what we have been hearing about; The New Age Movement. She was also the founder of the Lucis Trust. She wrote many books on a variety of occult topics relating to the unfolding of the plan of the New Age Movement. In fact, she has been called the New Age Queen!

Part of this plan calls for the establishing of a world religion, and that Masonry be a big part of the New Age.

Henry Clausen, former Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, thirty third degree, Mother Council of World Masonry, is one who also proclaimed this idea. He states:

"Today we are at the threshold of a new era. All signs point to this fact.....We look toward a transformation into the New Age........This new world view is emerging because there has been a recent correlation between modern physics and the mysticism of Eastern religions."

(Source)

Henry C. Clausen - "Emergence of the Mystical

When we speak of mysticism, it is defined as "one who practices mysticism, i.e., magic, occultism, witchcraft. According to the New Columbia Encyclopedia, a mysticism is "the practice of...magic, occultism or the esoteric....." Included in the mystic tradition were the Hermetic philosophers and the alchemist." You will find them constantly in New Age and Masonic writings.

The reason I put the brief information on the New Age is because it figures very prominent in the New World Order! That's right folks, and it doesn't take long to figure that out.

But you are at the advantage, because the research is being done for you in this document, together with the sources applied. You have only to research my sources.

The secret doctrine teaches that Jesus was born an ordinary man and that he became Christ later. He did not come as Christ in the flesh.

I John 4:3

It is worthy to remember that although there are a lot of decent people in the Lodge, in a spiritual sense they are not aware of that they are doing, at least some of them, for it is the spirit of darkness that has control over them. Time back I realized the above.. If they would only understand how Satan can easily deceive and eventually destroy, they could easily divorce themselves from the above and have a true peace that they could never have at present.

Lucifer, god of light, light of the lodge, etc.

As we have seen, numerous times as referring to the light. What is this light so much spoken of in these documents? Lets go a litter farther.

In Webster's Dictionary it describes light in the form of Lucifer. Note: "Lucifer, name of the morning star, literally "light bringer," devil, Satan."

and

In the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry
(p. 532)

"It does not simply mean truth or wisdom,"......Freemasons are emphatically called the "sons of light," because they are, or at least are entitled to be in possession of the true meaning of the symbol:......it was also the symbol of Osiris, their principle divinity, and the chief object of their mystic rites."

Behold again, "The Word" of Masonry" the man on the tracing-board of this Degree the Light toward which all Masons travel.

(Source)
Pike, Dogma, supra. P.256

But on page 4, above, referring to the light, Pike speaks of recovering the word, as meaning occult.

(Source)
Pike, Dogma, supra, P.252

On page 22, supra; you will see a picture of Baphomet the god of lust, the meaning of the eastern star!

Masons have their own Lucerferian based calendar. Our western calendar counts its years based on the number of years before and after Christ' B.C., for before Christ and A.D.' Anno Domini, meaning, "in the year of our Lord," for the years after the birth of Christ. The Masonic calendar counts it years with the suffix A.L; meaning Anno Lucis (or Lucifer); "year of light", the Masonic year of creation. This can also be interpreted to mean "Year of Lucifer."

(Source)
The Brotherhood, p.15
By Stephen Knight

Masons do not count their years from the year of Christ's death because for a rather curious reason; they consider it a tragedy. In their initiation ceremony for the eighteenth degree, the Knight of the rose Crucis, also known as the Rose (The Red Cross) or "the Rosicrucians, Masons symbolically drape the Lodge room in black and sit on the floor in silence, resting their heads in their arms in mock grief around the alter above which are three crosses. They grieve not for the death of the Son of God, but according to the French Masonic historian Abbe Augusten de Barreul, they symbolically mourn because the day Jesus was crucified was the day Christianity was born, ever to be the antagonist of Masonry:

It is the.....time when the veil of the temple was rent asunder, when darkness and consternation was spread over the earth, when the light was darkened, when the omplements of Masonry were broke, when the flaming star disappeared, when the cubic stone was broken when the word was lost. (2)

By Barruel, supra.P.311-312

"So, Luciferianism and Satanism have a basic difference. Luciferianism pretends to be good and Satanism admits it is bad, saying there is no good. The results are the same. Lucifer and Satan are frequently confused, even by experts. For example, in 1908, French occultism expert Copin Albancelli confused Lucifer with Satan in describing the beliefs of the upper echelons of Masonry.

Certain Masonic societies exist which are Satanic, not in the sense that the devil comes to preside at their meetings.....but in that their initiates profess the cult of Lucifer. They adorn as the true God, and they are animated by the implacable hatred against the Christian God, whom they declare to be an impostor."

(Source)
Secret Societies and Subversive Movements. P.324
By Nesta H. Webster

Albancelli also explained the view of the Ten Commandments held by one French version of Masonry:

"It is professed in these societies that all the Christian God commands is disagreeable to Lucifer; that in consequences one must do all that the Christian God forbids and that one must shun like fire all that He commands."

Their (Masonry) history is replete falsehoods and deceit, but we must always remember that the ultimate source is, and shall forever be Jesus, and I sincerely am sad for those who believe otherwise!

I will give some excerpts from the above.

 

Third Degree

Page 82
 

(Above paragraph is a graphic. I wasn't able to make such symbols on my P.C.)

We will stop right here for a time to evaluate the above.

First, the above is referring to "gods" and "other Gods." So, Masonry is a religion. But how can it be? Please continue. In Morals and Dogma, and Albert Pike, as the Grand Commander and Prince Adept, clearly identifies Masonry as an occult religion, the universal religion of all mankind since the beginning of time!

He says, "Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instructions in religion"! (Emphasis mine)

AND

Dr. Albert G. Mackey, the author of the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry; published in 1879.

He was past General High Priest and Secretary General of the Supreme council Thirty-third Degree for the Southern Jurisdiction of the U.S.; which takes in thirty-five of the fifty states. It has been considered one of the top two authoritative works on Masonry. (The other is Pike)

He Said:

"Freemasonry is a religious institution."

"Masonry is not Christianity, nor a substitute for it."

(Source)
Albert Mackey, Encyclopedia of Freemasonry

In the above, concerning Bal and other gods:

The history of Masonry is replete talk, knowledge, and worship of other gods.

But our True Father says, and he says it emphatic, so there is no mistake: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME," and that also means at all, before or after him. Exodus 20:3

He also says:

THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM NOR SERVE THEM... Exodus 20:5

So, just being a member is being a part of them and serving them.

Again, God's word says:

"Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" II Corinthians 6:14

Now, back to Morals and Dogma.

Masonry, like all religions, all the mysteries, Hermeticism and alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages or the elect. It uses false explanations and misinterpretation of its symbol to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the truth, (which it calls Light) from them, and to draw them away from it. Page 7/8

Masonry deals in the occults, Gnosticism, Astrology, Mysticism, Mythology, Qabalah, Tarot, Theosophy, Kabbala, Magic, Occult, Sciences, Magic (both white and black) etc, as will be shown in their own literature!

At the back of this document you will see the above, as of 1/12/1995

Morals And Dogma - 18th Degree

Christians understand the true meaning of "THE WORD" as meaning "JESUS", however in Pikes book, above, page 252, speaking of the light and darkness:

"Which we symbolize by the candidate wandering in darkness and being brought to light: that the world was created not by the Supreme Being, but by a secondary agent, who is but his word, and by types which are but his ideas, aided by an intelligence, or wisdom, which gives one of his attributes; in which we see the occult meaning of the necessity of recovering "THE WORD."

Here we are seeing that he states that Our Father did not create the world, and that he is associating The Word, Jesus, with the occult.

Nineteenth Degree
page 320

Pike Writes:

"The apocalypse, that sublime Kabalistic and prophetic Summary of all the occult figures......", and then goes on to say:

"The Sephar Yezirah, the Sohar and the Apocalypse are the completest embodiments of Occultism."

The Apocalypse, is a Kabalistic book, which refers to ancient mythology, and planets, spheres, etc. Again, it is occultic.

(Source)
Dogma Ibid
page 7271

The Sohar refers, and refers only to the Holy books, is the key to said Holy Books, for, "it opens also all the depths and lights, all the obscurities of the Ancient Mythologies and of the Sciences originally concealed in the Sanctuaries." Again, the occult!

Twenty Sixth Degree
Dogma Ibid

"The Prince of Darkness, with their consent, made Adam, whose soul was the Divine Light, contributed by the Eons, and his body of matter, so that he belonged to both Empires, that of Light and Darkness. To prevent the Light from escaping at once, the Demons forbade Adam to eat the fruit of "knowledge of good and evil,".....He obeyed. An angel of Light introduced him to transgress and gave him the means of victory; by the Demons created Eve.....!"

Shocking to say the least. Pike and the rest are very adept at deceiving those below themselves. But for someone with at least some knowledge of the Bible, we cannot be deceived.

(Source)
pages 566-567

On the same page, he goes on to say: "Satan is the son and lord of matter; and the secondary angels and demons, children of matter." "Satan created and governs the visible world."

Father, help us all! How could anyone believe this blasphemy!?

In this document Bal is referred to. Bal was a false god, a representative or personification of the sun. He was the Great Nature God of Babylonia. His symbol was the Sun and was figured seated on a bull.

The word Bal, or Baal, like the word Adon, signifies Lord or Master.

MASONRY EXPOSED!

In the 1800's Masonry was exposed and Masons abandoned their lodges for the shame of it. It cost one man, William Morgan, his life. This man wrote all the rituals of Masonry in a book. The Masons kidnapped him from Batavia, New York, moved him out to Niagara, stored him in Ft. Niagara for three days then took him to a boat.

They tied a rope (Mason style), called a cabletow by the Masons, around his waist with a weight around it, and gave him one half hour to make his peace with God. This all happened on 11, September, 1826. This is a death bed testimony of Henry Vallance, also a Mason and two others.

When it was learned that Morgan had prepared the manuscript, Masonic leaders acted to prevent the book's publication. David Miller, the publisher was also kidnapped; but the citizens of Batavia, learning of the kidnap, pursued the kidnappers and finally rescued him.

In spite of all efforts by the Masons to prevent its publication, the book was published in 1827. Freemasonry did everything in its power to deny its role in the murder of William Morgan, but the incident put the eastern states into a frenzy. Innocent Masons themselves believed that Morgan's execution was carried out by fellow Masons.

During the decade that followed, of the estimated fifth thousand Masons in the U.S; forth five thousand Masons withdrew from the Lodges Coil's. The Masonic Encyclopedia attest to this fact.

Coil states:

"Masonic defections spread throughout New England, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland.....In 1826, New York had 480 Lodges with a membership of 20,000, but from 1827 to 1839 only 40 or 50 Lodges were reporting to the Grand Lodge.....The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts surrendered its charter to the state and became and uncorporated body.

(Source)
Coils Masonic Encyclopedia
p.58

In the years that followed, Freemasonry continued to refute the charges of murder, in spite of the fact that one of the three men appointed to carry out the assassination confessed to the entire account. The confession appears on pp. 11-16 of the book entitled: The Character, Claims and Practical Workings of Freemasonry. Author Rev. Charles G. Finney, a nineteenth century evangelist, once a Mason.

The Masons established two false editions of Morgans book and circulated them among Masons who had never read the true edition, causing them to say "why, these rituals are not correct!" Then these Masons would become a spokesman to prove that Morgan's book was a lie.

Charles Finney however had an original as he wrote his book. The Masons could claim that the book was correct, but they did not have all the information.

As a result of this scandal, the anti-masonic party was formed. It polled 128,000 votes in the 1830 election and carried Vermont in the 1832 presidential election. Rhode Island and Vermont Passed laws against blood oaths. Thousands of Masons burned their aprons.

In a few years time, membership in the New York lodges dropped from 30,000 to 300 members as a direct result of the Morgan incident.

One of those who left the order was Millard Fillmore, who later became the thirteenth president of the United States. He joined the Anti-Masonic Party in 1828.

Whalen, p. 5

In 1834, the Massachusetts Legislature investigated the Order and found it to be, "a distinct and independent Government within our own Government, and beyond the control of the laws of the land by means of its secrecy and oaths and regulations which its subjects are bound to obey, under penalty of death."

(Source)
The New York Times
June 25, 1867

The above matter of secrecy and oaths is as follows:

Entered Apprentice (1st Degree):

"To all of which I do most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without the least equivocation, mental reservation, or self evasion of mind in me whatever; binding myself under no less penalty than to have my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by the roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low watermark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty four hours; so help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same."

(Source)
Capitan William Morgan
Illustrations of Masonry pp. 21-22

Can anyone imagine such an oath? The 2nd and 3rd, are even worse. How can such a man even keep such an oath from his wife and family? When two people are married in Christ they become one. It is not a Christian act to make such an oath.

As to the taking of an oath, it is forbidden in scripture. For the Bible states:

"But I say unto you, swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;.....But let your communication be, Yea, Yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more then these cometh of evil."

(Source)
Matthew 5:34-37

Therefore, the hierarchy uses millions of people as dupes to serve as a shield between the public and themselves. These people devote countless hours to establish hospitals to help the crippled and do other good works unwittingly provide a cover under which the Adepts operate a perfect relations ploy.

The Eastern Star symbol is the inverted five point star. One of the founders of the Eastern Star, the man who wrote all the rituals, Rob Morris, chose that five pointed star. He selected for the specific reason out of mythology: it is the Goat of Mendes! The Goat of Mendes is the God of Lust!

At an extended debate in Michigan, the result yielded was not whether to change the symbol: "This emblem, which has been our symbol, although evil......

So, The Grand Chapter of the State of Michigan admitted it! It is very difficult to understand why any father or husband cold choose for his wife and children the symbol of the Goat of Mendes, a god of lust.

In ancient times, as it is today in Masonry, there is in nature one potent force. It is a universal agent. The Gnostics held that it composed the igneous body, (igneous means fiery) body of the Holy Spirit; and it was adored in the secret rites of the Sabbat of the Temple, under the hieroglyphic figure of Baphomet or the hermaphroditic goat of mended." (Emphasis mine). It is the body of the Holy Spirit, the universal agent, devouring his own tail.

(Source)
Morals and Dogma p. 734 supra

Now, if you still have doubts, and if you were to discover the true meaning of Baphomet, and the goat of Mendes, and you would find that they are forms of Satan himself, and a sabbat is "an assembly or celebration of witches or other cultists, usually held on astrologically significant days and hours."

Read now what Pike himself says:

"Whoever shall learn to comprehend and execute this great work will know great things, say the sages of the work; but whenever you depart from the center of the square and compass, you will no longer be able to work with success."

"It is what is termed the Kabbalistic Pantacle....This carries with it the power of commanding spirits of the elements. It is necessary for you to know how to use it, and that you will learn by perseverance if you are a lover of science or our predecessors the sages."

John Marshall, the great chief justice of the United States Supreme Court wrote:

"The institution of Masonry ought to be abandoned as one capable of producing much evil, and incapable of producing any good which might not be affected by open means."

Marshall was himself a famous Mason and had assisted in the establishment of two Lodges in Virginia. His biography is one of the only twenty five appearing under the section, "statesmen, Founders, Officers" in the book "Famous Masons and Masonic Presidents."

He is included in the same section as Albert Pike and Adam Weishaupt. Marshall must have therefore known of Masonry. His anti-Masonic statement came shortly before his death in 1835.

Freemasonry and Christianity, The Sword Of The Lord
By Dr. Alva J. McClain

On the York rite side of Masonry, are the four degrees that make up the Royal Arch Degrees. These consist of the degrees of the Mark Master, (4th), Past Master (5th), Most Excellent Master (6th), and the Royal Arch, the seventh degree. (Holy Bible, Masonic ed. page 10). On the Scottish Rite side, the Royal Arch degree is the 13th.

Here, at this point, The Royal Arch Degrees, is where the candidate suffers a severe shock, for the candidate must swear to the following: The candidate must swear to keep the secrets of a fellow Mason, murder and treason not exempted." With his hand on the Bible, the candidate for the Royal Arch Degrees must swear the following:

"I will aid and assist a companion Royal Arch Mason when engaged in any difficulty, and espouse his cause so far as to extricate him from the same, if within my power, whether he be right or wrong."

So then, Royal Arch Masons are obligated under blood oaths to extricate him or any of his brothers from any troubles, legal or illegal.

There is much more to be said of this subject. We will however go on to the oath relation to the above. He then swears the following:

"To keep in my heart all the secrets that shall be revealed to me. And in my failure if this my oath, I consent to have my body opened perpendicularly, and to be exposed for eight hours in the open air that the venomous flies may eat out my intestines...and I will always be ready to inflict the same punishment on those who shall disclose this degree or break this oath. So may God help and maintain me. Amen.

So, in the above then, in a desperate attempt to soften the impact, The Royal Arch oath blasphemously attempts to include Jesus!

Read the Following:

"As the sins of the world were laid upon the head of the Savior, so may all the sins committed by the person whose skull this was be heaped upon my head, in addition to my own, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate or transgress any obligation that I have heretofore taken....So help me God."

(Source)
Finney, p.108

Now, I have shown without any doubt whatsoever, the true intent of Masonry as stated in this document. The deceit and the extent that Masonry will strive to conceal their purpose. But now, to use the Holy name of Jesus, is again blasphemy, and those that take any part in all the above will certainly pay his due!

Admitted Deception

Many honorable men have become Masons under the false impression that Freemasonry is a Christian institution. Although certain ceremonies make use of Christ' name, this is usually in the form of mockery (sometimes blatant, sometimes subtle), unfortunately not often realized as such by one not grounded in the Bible, thereby further confusing initiates perception of the order.

The Blue Degrees

"The blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them, it is intended that he imagines that he understands them....."

(Source)
Morals And Dogma. 819

And remember, as to the above, it is deceptive, it is evil, by their own words. It is not meant for a Christian to be part of all the above, but to be apart from that which by their own words is evil!

Remember, the second Bible that Pike speaks of in Morals and Dogma, is the Kab alah, an ancient book of the occult!

pp 744-745

It is typical to omit the name of Jesus Christ when quoting scripture. The following examples compare Scriptures taken from the Holy Bible (KJV), with those used by Thomas Smith Webb in his book, "The Freemason's Monitor.":

There can be no doubt, after all that has been said so far, that Mason's will go as far as necessary to deceive their own brotherhood, and again blaspheme the Holy Word of our Father.

Now, listen to what Pike has to say:

"Masonry, like all 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 only who deserve to be misled; to conceal the truth, which it calls light, from them, and to draw them away from it."

(Source)
Pike, Dogma pp. 104-105

AND:

"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico or the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry."

(Source)
Pike, Dogma, p.819

The individual Mason is deceived as to the true nature of Masonry, the individual Mason is deceived when he is taught that he can earn his way to heaven by his moral living, good works and obedience to his oaths. However, the bible tells us that the only way to heaven is through Jesus. He says: "I am the way, the truth," and through him he is the only way to heaven. We are saved through salvation, and not by works, as the Mason professes. Only by His (God's) grace are we saved.

Now, on to another subject.

There are two fraternities in Masonry. There is an outer one and an inner fraternity. The inner one, only the elite or Adept know the true meaning of Masonry.

Deceptions!

The first deception usually occurs when the member is assured that Masonry is not a religion. It is based on the Bible, will make him a better man and if he is a Christian, that Lodge will make him a better Christian.

The initiations are deceptive in that the candidate is not told in advance of the death oaths, let alone their terrible content.

The candidate is deceived in that he is told, just before taking an oath of obligation, (his first oath), that there will be nothing in the oath that would conflict in any way with his personal religious faith. Here he is being lied to when the very taking of the oath is a violation for a Christian or a religious Jew. Oaths that are forbidden both in the New Testament and Old Testament. And this is to say nothing of unscriptural content, promising to conceal other men's crimes and containing hideous penalties.

Here, in the administration of the oath, is not only deception, but an enormous flaw!

When Worshipful Master assures an initiate, before administering an oath, that there will be nothing in the oath that will be in conflict with his religious faith, he hasn't asked the initiate what his religious faith is!

The initiate is deceived when led through his oath of obligation as a Master Mason and swears to uphold certain aspects of personal morality. The wording of the oath is extremely deceptive because of its very subtle immoral meaning.

Meaning, he must swear never to cheat, wrong or defraud another Mason or a Lodge of Master Masons, knowing them to be such, leaving the Master Mason free to cheat, wrong or defraud anyone else in the free world, as long as it isn't another Master Mason.

Also, he must swear not to "violate the chastity of a Master's wife, his mother, daughter or sister, or even those of another Master Mason as long as he is not aware of their Masonic connection!

There is so much more to say!

He is deceived by being led to believe that the legend of Hiram Abiff involved in the second part of his initiation is historical and has no spiritual significance. Actually, the story he must reenact, portraying Hiram, is pure myth; worse than that, it is terribly significant paganism. The unwitting candidate is required to portray Hiram, not having the slightest idea what it is all about, entering into death, burial and resurrection of the Masonic Messiah, Hiram Abiff, who is actually Osiris, the Egyptian sex God!

You don't believe it you say? Let's allow a few of Masonry's most respected historians speak for themselves:

"That part of the rite (third degree initiation) which is connected with the legend of the Tyrian Artist (Hiram Abiff), should be studied as a myth and not as fact.......Outside the Masonic tradition there is no proof that an event such as is related in connection with the "temple Builder" ever transpired and, besides, the ceremony is older by more than one thousand years than the age of Solomon......It is thoroughly Egyptian."

Daniel Sickels. Ahiman Rhezon and Freemason's Guide. P. 195

It (the legend of Hiram Abiff) is thoroughly Egyptian, and is closely allied to the Supreme Rite (third degree) of the Isianic Mysteries (the pagan mystery religion of Isis and Osiris).

We readily recognize in Hiram Abiff the Osiris of the Egyptians.

See how plain it is? The initiate is deceived when he is promised that his initiation will bring him from darkness into the Light; that he never quite gets to the Light. From degree to degree he searches for it and finally at the culminating moment, in the Scottish Rite, the Lecture of the Thirty Second Degree, he is, that the light is out there somewhere and he must find it on his own.

Here is how it relates to Jesus. Hiram Abiff actually represents Osiris, the Egyptian sun and sex god!

All of the above can create, to say again, a serious problem at home. Pike says in Dogma, that until a man goes through these rites, he is profaned. He uses the word profane as meaning unclean. The moment he takes his first oath of obligation, he separates himself from his wife. Remember, I said earlier that when two are married in Christ, they become one.

Now, not only has he become bound by the death oath, of which she can never know of, now, she is "profane," and if she asks him certain questions about what he does in the Lodge, he must "lie" to her, dividing loyalties with her.

The meaning of Profane

"Knowing this, that the law is not made for the righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient (unruly), for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane......! .......any other thing contrary to sound doctrine." 1 Timothy 1:9-10

This is not the wife's fault. The husband is the one who puts her in this position.

Masonry And It's Symbols

All Masonic symbols have two meanings. The outer meaning, called and referred to as "exoteric", and the inner one called, "esoteric", a hidden meaning. Read what Pike had to say of the above:

"The symbols of the wise are the idols of the vulgar, or else as meaning - less as the hieroglyphics of Egypt to the Nomadic Arabs. There must always be a common place interpretation for the mass of initiates of symbols that are (by comparison) eloquent to the Adepts."

(Source)
Pike, Dogma 819

What is the meaning of the letter "G" ?

In the first degree, the initiate is told that the letter "G" represents deity, that is, God. Remember, before we go any further, as is described on page #2, about what god they are referring to; Lucifer!

But to go on. Then in the second degree, he is assured that it represents "geometry," the first and noble of sciences, by means of which the secrets of the universe may be discovered. From here on all of this becomes very heavy, so complete attention and repeated reading is necessary.

This is the inner meaning!

Since the true meaning of Freemasonry lies in its being descended from, and a revival of, the mystery religions of ancient Egypt, especially the worship of Isis and Osiris, the true meanings of its symbols are sexual! This should not be surprising since the cult of Isis and Osiris was a fertility (i.e. sex) cult. In plain language, those pagans worshipped sex and reproductive power. That is, (fecundity), meaning, intellectually productive.

The sun, worshipped by nearly all pagan groups, represented life giving sexual reproductive power, the active male, generative force, with its rays penetrating the passive, female earth, causing new life to come forth. The personified of the sun, usually worshipped in such fertility cults, was (and is) the phallus, the male reproductive organ and their "worship" services were often orgies.

It was to just such a scene that Moses returned to from the mount after forty days with god. The golden calf was a bull calf, with prominent horns and conspicuous genital equipment. It was the personification of dominant male strength and reproductive power commonly worshipped in the fertility cults of the East. You will understand this in time.

Osiris Legend

Osiris was the chief God of Egypt, the sun and husband of Isis. Osiris is said to have been killed by his jealous brother Typhon by trickery. Osiris was nailed in the chest and cast into the Nile. Later, his dead body was cast up at Byblos in Phoenicia and left at the foot of a Tamarind tree.

Isis retrieved his body only to lose it again to the jealous brother who then hut him into fourteen pieces, which he scattered around the kingdom. Isis again went in search of Osiris and found all the body parts except the phallus which had been eaten by a crab in the Nile.

Isis then made a phallus which was too sacred (origin of the Obelisk). She embalmed him thus claiming restoration and gave rise to the concept that the immortality of the soul was dependent on the preservation of the body.

Osiris was afterward known as the Lord of the underworld. He was also the sun and god of fertility, worshipped in orgiastic sex rituals.

The Masonic Symbol, the square, compass and G.

According to Masonry's top authorities, the symbol represents reproduction. The compass represents the dominant active male, "reproductive principal."

The square inverted represents the passive, receptive, female "reproductive principal," and the relative positions, the one above and the other beneath, is no accident.

The combination, thus arranged, represents the sun penetrating and impregnating the earth to bring forth new life.

The compass also represents loftier, spiritual functions, while the square represents the more earthly, carnal and base functions.

In the entered apprentice symbol, the points of the Compass are usually beneath the Square; in the fellowcraft symbol, one is usually above and one is below; in the Master Mason symbol, both points of the Compass are usually above the Square, symbolizing complete dominance.

Pike, Dogma. 850-851

What it all means is that these are symbols of ancient worship of nature and sex, but that the female is in the decidedly inferior status.

The letter "G" in the center is that of the phallus, the presentation of deity in the Egyptian fertility cults. (3) Dogma,supra.p.15, 771, 772.

Remember the legend of Osiris? An image of the phallus was placed in the Temple, and caused it to be worshipped as the image of the slain sun god.

And remember again, Masonry has taken the legend, the symbolism, and the worship for it very own.

Albert Pike explained that the "G" in the English speaking Lodges actually represents a corruption of the Hebrew letter Yod. The mysterious YOD of the Kabala is the "image of the Kabalistic Phallus."

Pike, supra. p. 5, 757, 758, 771-772

The All Seeing Eye

A Mason may tell you that the all seeing eye is representative of God, seeing all, knowing all, and watching over us....................

Again, the true symbol meaning, the esoteric meaning of this symbol is Osiris, the Egyptian sun and sex god, the actual object of worship in the Masonic Lodge.

And again the authority: Albert Pike:

"The blazing star has been regarded as the emblem of Omniscience (all knowing or all seeing eye), which to the Egyptian initiates was the emblem of Osiris, The Creator. Dogma, 15-16

Note that he calls Osiris the Creator? Now do you realize what god the Masons speak of when they speak of god?

They say the letter "G" refers to god. Without them realizing it, they are referring to Osiris!

And Albert Mackey agrees that allegory and symbolism are the only things that really matter:

"All the legends of Masonry are more or less allegorical, and whatever truth there may be in some of them in a historical point of view, it is only as allegories, or legendary symbols, that they are important."

Mackey, Symbolism, 315

You must realize that the Masonic organization is, and has been, that it has a powerful place in our government.

For one thing, the Statue of Liberty was a gift of the Masonic Brethren in France to the American Masons, and it is to be filled with Masonic Occult symbols on it.

In Washington D.C., that the streets around the White House are laid out in the form of the Goat of Mendes and the square and compass of Freemasonry. The Capitol building and its streets actually form the Goat of Mendes and the square and compass of Freemasonry intersect the Washington Monument right in dead line with it.

The left leg of the Masonic compass sits on top of the White House, and the right leg sits on the Jefferson Memorial. Jefferson was a deist, a Mason and an Illuminati member. So was Ben Franklin.

Designed in the streets themselves, and with its southern point in the center of the White House, is an inverted five point star which again is the geometric face of the Goat of Mendes. And we wonder why we have stargazers in the White Hours?

And also, that every federal building that exists has been prayed for and set apart by the Mason's in their rituals. They have the cornerstones filled with their own paraphernalia, their own prayers to Jaobulon, their god.

You must understand that the Masons, together with the Illuminati, and others, are a significant part of this New Age, or the New World Order we hear so much of, but that another issue, which at another time perhaps, will be explained.

It all sounds overwhelming, too ridiculous to be true, but believe me folks, what is in this document is true.

As stated earlier, for anyone to understand the material in this writing, he or she can understand so easily having some knowledge of the Bible. Jesus will help you. He said: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." You only have to ask, seek and knock, isn't that wonderful!

The Point Within The Circle

The Blue Lodge Teaching is that the point represents the individual Mason and the circle represents the limitations of his duties. In other words, he cannot do whatever he pleases, he must be responsible and faithful to his responsibilities. The two parallel lines flanking the circle are supposed to represent "the Holy Saint Johns", in whose names the Blue Lodge is always open.

the true meaning is of course occult and sexual. the point represents the phallus, the circle represents the vagina and the jux transposition of the one within the other represents sexual union.

The two parallel lines are actually zodiacal signs of Cancer and Capricorn, where the sun is found during the summer and winter solstices, respectfully. They were depicted by the ancient Egyptians as two rigid snakes, heads at the top.

Here is what the Masonic authorities have to say:

Albert Mackey:

Phallus, a representation of the virile member, which was venerated as a religious symbol....It was one of the modifications of Sun Worship, and was a symbol of the fecundating power of that luminary. The Masonic point within the circle is undoubtedly of phallic origin...It is derived from Sun Worship, and is in reality of phallic origin.

(Source)
Mackey, supra. 352-353
Symbolism of Freemasonry

The point within a circle is an interesting and important symbolism in Freemasonry, but is has been debased in the interpretation of it in modern lectures (the wholesome teaching in the Blue Lodge) and the sooner that the interpretation is forgotten by the Masonic student the better it will be.

The symbol is really a beautiful but somewhat abstruse allusion to the old Sun Worship, and introduces for the first time to that modification of it known among the ancients as the worship of the phallus. (7)

They are said to represent St. John the Baptist and St. John the evangelist; but really refer to the solstical points Cancer and Capricorn in the zodiac. (8)

Albert Pike:

These two Divinities, the Active and Passive principles of the Universe, were commonly symbolized by the generative parts of man and woman.....the phallus and cteis (vagina), emblems of generation and production, and which, as such, appeared in the mysteries. The Indian Lingam was the union of both, as were the mast, and the point within the circle. (9)

(Source)
Pike.Dogma.p.401

The Solstices, Cancer and Capricorn, the two gates of heaven are the two pillars of Hercules, beyond which he, the Sun, never journeyed; and they still appear in our Lodges, as the two great columns, achin and Boaz, and also as the two parallel lines that bound the circle, with a point in the center. (10)

Ibid, Dogma. p.506

Note: Solstice = The point in the apparent path of the sun at which the sun is farthest from the equator either north or south.

The Triangle

The usual, as outer interpretation of the equilateral triangle in Masonic teaching is that of the Triune God. The hidden, true meaning is again pagan and sexual. With the base line down and the point up, it represents the male reproductive element, the phallus. With the base line up, it represents the female reproductive element, the vagina.

When the two are combined to form the six pointed star, they represent sexual union. Recalling that the square with the point down symbolizes the female principal.

Additionally, the compass above, with its points connected by a line, becomes the male principal, in union with the female.

The equilateral triangle, a basic symbol of deity, is subtly present in the Blue Lodge in that the Master, Senior Warden, and Junior Warden, the three officers whom Blue Lodge Masons must obey, are arranged in the triangle, and the candles around the alter representing the sun, moon and worshipful Master, three representations of deity, are arranged in a triangle.

Albert Mackey:

In the higher degrees of Masonry, the triangle is the most important of all symbols.....Among the Egyptians it was a symbol of universal nature or the protection of the world by the male and female energies of creation. (Sexual power) (11)

(Source)
Mackey, Symbolism, 195, 361

Writing of the combination of two triangles, the one base up, and the other down, Mackey further explains, "The interlacing triangles or deltas symbolize the union or two principals or forces, the active and the passive, male and female." (12)

(Source)
Mackey, Encyclopedia of Freemasonry. p. 801

Back of this trilateral triangle, representing the Hindu fertility god trinity, Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. A.U.M., lies the philosophy of the secret doctrine.....Each deity in this triad was regarded as masculine, and as having his sakto or female consort which was represented by the triangle with its base upward and is a symbol of the door through which every human being comes into the world. (13)

I had come to realize one thing at the beginning of my research into Masonry. Their books are to be read very carefully. One must take into consideration that because of so much deceit, that unless one knows exactly what material to read, he or she may also be deceived!
