Masonry is the worldly branch of the overaching mystic system of the west. What do we know about it?
It is a geometrically oriented system of communication and organization. It pays to the most fundamental laws of abstraction, and pursues it’s goals by means of abstracting reality (science, politics) into these patterns and from that point on the power to predict it’s behavior.
What their aims are is not clear in literal terms, but if the world is Will to Power, then the play itself would be sufficient. This is not unlikey, as we all (should) know the devil likes to dance, and he doesn’t mind if people dance with him. Powerful bankers, despots and captains of industry all have that quality of playing along with a big grin. They all smoke cigars, so to speak. But as all the conspiracies suggest, there is an actual devil, someone - a jew, a reptilian, a sumerian king or dutch queen, any kind of impressive figure will do - who is behind all the curtains and veils and has his servant pull the strings while he is eating a human heart from a silver late on the servants head. But what becomes apparent if you read the mason literature (literal masonry, cathedral-architecture and ‘sacred’ geometry) This guy, this black hole that is behind all of the conspiracy theories, he is actually a woman.
All new age philosophy also centers around a woman. ‘The’ Goddess. They have as before them God and CIA yet to shed the ‘the’, but they are on the right track of acquiring a share in the power of the masonic structures. Whoever disciplines him or herself to the laws of structure will automatically, as by increasing in magnetism draw to himself power and influence. The problem is, you shouldn’t try to compete with people on their own field when they have been working it for whole era’s of time. Invent new fields. Masonry without the ‘free’ is still and always free to make use of, since it draws it’s laws from the structures of the mind itself. (Mathematics)
Firstly, I’m not really clear what your central conclusion of your argument is, or your over all position.
Secondly, I find it ironic that the Free Mason’s are most commonly made out to be controlling master minds, the “devils”, or the “them” behind the curtain, as often equally as any of those that you mentioned above.
Third, golden geometry and sacred geometry has been around far longer than Free Masonry.
The entire Mayan construction system was based off of measuring in exactly these methods and employing the root just as the Free Masons originally did as well, and using proportionate geometry just as the Free Masons originally did as well, and continue to hold value in.
The Mayan’s are but one example, as several cultures throughout history have held the same value in geometry in such fashions.
It is blanketed through nearly every religion and engraved in nearly every ancient stone working, or city or construction layout.
I’m not really quite sure how the Free Masons are any different here.
Based on what I have read, Freemasonry developed as part of the culture of Newtonianism. Newton described God as the Great Mathematician. The Newtonians also called the deity the Grand Architect. The harmony of the Newtonian universe inspired worship of the Architect and worshippers came to meet in masonic lodges during the 18th century. They saw themselves as descendents of ancient architects and stone masons. Masonic rituals centered around the God of the new science. Their understanding of God was sufficiently vague to permit diversity of belief. It was an age when pubbing and clubbing were widespread, and masons practiced a kind of tolerance and secular sociability that became popular.
My point is the ‘the’ Free Masons doesn’t mean anything, as there is a hierarchy. The ‘devil’, so to speak, would be their leader. This leader is behind the curtain, not all masons are veiled. Masons work with the kabbalistic Tree of Life, as Newton did, which is a system of many layers of knowledge and veils of understanding (I’d call them paradigm-borders) between them. So the one behind the last veil is what people who attack the masons these days would call the Devil. Having read a lot of occult literature, I’m pretty sure this one behind the last curtain doesn’t literally exist, is a goddess, the goddess of form, which is the universe itself.
I’d say it has been around since man could perform any meaningful actions with objects. It’s being inherent in nature is why it is ‘sacred’ and why it is such a powerful tool.
Mainly they’re different from the Mayans in that they are of our time. They apparently hold a lot of power, and I can imagine so if I imagine them making decisions by strict observation of these patterns.
Was that really Newtons term? I thought it was much older than that - I’ve read the early gnostics also referred to Jesus not as a carpenter but as an architect. This type of Jesus (I doubt he really existed) supposedly had links to Egypt, where pharao’s were seen as architects, or representatives of the great archtiect, God. As Newton was a kabbalist and alchemist, so took part in this tradition, it wouldn’t be surprising if, given the impact of his scientific work, he attracted a lot of attention to these gnostic ideas. But I don’t think they stem from him. Cathedrals were built well before his life that were designed as an homage to the architecture of the universe, which was riddled with themes of sexual polarity. The He-God, the Architect himself, and the She God, the creation, form. The human architects worshipped the great architect indirectly, through working on form, because to be face to face with the He God directly without initiation through form would mean dissolution of the self.
I think it wasn’t so much tolerance as taking an interest in more intellectually stimulating forms of mysticism than what can be found in the Bible.
