Hi !
Here's a book review with info on the Masons.
Sincerely, Neil Brick
Book Review
The following article is collection of quotes and information from
that book. Warning: Some material in this article may be triggering, please
use caution while reading it. All accusations are alleged. Ordering
information follows the article.
The beginning of the book discusses the fact "that the majority of people
who join the Masons DO NOT really know what Masonry teaches... Delmar Darrah,
a 33rd degree Mason explains: "The average man enters Freemasonry with LITTLE
or NO KNOWLEDGE of the fraternity, its manner of organization, or its
system of doing business." (Page 5)
"We are told that Masons believe in charity and good works, but Masonic
writer, Ralph Anderson, a 32nd degree Mason, proclaims: "If the SOLE
value is ethical (MORAL).. then Masonry has failed.. Arthur Waite... tells
us that Masonry "is ON THE SURFACE a 'system of morality, VEILED in
allegory and illustrated by symbols. " (Page 6)
"In fact, Masonry INTENTIONALLY MISLEADS those Masons who have recently
joined. Pike (a 33rd degree Mason mine), claims: "The symbols and
ceremonies of Masonry have MORE THAN ONE MEANING. They rather CONCEAL
than disclose the truth." . ."So Masonry jealously CONCEALS ITS SECRETS, AND
INTENTIONALLY LEADS conceited interpreters ASTRAY." (page 7)
..Pike adds, "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 them, and to draw them away from it.
(page 7 and 8).
Review author's note: Many cults have what is called a hidden agenda. New
members are not permitted to know "the truth" until they are already too
deeply involved (or brainwashed) to leave. Most cults also have a severe
consequence for leaving the group, such as death, hell, not achieving
nirvana, etc.
"When a person enters Masonry, he joins what is called a Blue Lodge.
Members of this Lodge may learn the first three degrees...most Masons
never advance past the third degree The highest degree in the Scottish
rite is the 33rd degree. (Pg. 9). "Oaths are taken by the candidate and the
horrible penalties are pronounced upon him should he betray the
SECRETS of Masonry...the oath...for the first degree is: . binding myself
under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut from ear to ear, my
tongue torn out by its roots, and buried in the sands of
the sea a cable's length from shore, where the tide ebbs and flows twice
in twenty-four hours, should I ever willingly, knowingly, or unlawfully
violate this, my Entered Apprentice Oath, so help me God and keep me
steadfast." (page 9 and 10).
In a poem written by J. S. M. Ward, a Mason, mentions that Osiris saved
mankind. "Osiris is the Egyptian god of the dead as well as a SUN-GOD but he
is also known by many other names... Festivals held in his honor often
resulted in HUMAN SACRIFICES AND ORGIASTIC (sexual) rites. (page 17) "It
is to this god, Osiris (under the name of Hiram Abiff), that the Masons pay
honor in the third degree...Any one who is familiar with Egyptian mythology
should be able to see the correlation between the myth of Hiram Abiff and
of the Egyptian god, Osiris. (page 18- 19)
"Waite acknowledges that: There is NO QUESTION that the MYTH of Osiris
covers the WHOLE STORY of mystical life and is presented in the Funerary
Ritual (the death and resurrection ceremony of the third degree)... We also
as Masons LOOK FORWARD TO UNION of the departed with Osiris..." (page 19)
"Since the gods of Masonry ... actually REPRESENT SATAN in different
camouflages and since the SERPENT is widespread in Masonry and the Bible
clearly states that the SERPENT is SATAN, we see that the Masons are
in ACTUALITY worshipping SATAN (LUCIFER). " (page 24) Review author's
note: Satanists often "twist" or "reverse" the Bible to desecrate
religions and customs that are "in the light".
"Pike brags: . Lucifer, the Light~bearer! Strange and mysterious name
to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he
who bears the light..? Doubt it not !. Masonic testimony is clear that the
SERPENT or SATAN (Lucifer) should be worshipped."(page 25)
"In the third degree the Mason is given a SUBSTITUTE word.. Waite
suggests that the Word revealed in the third degree was of similar value to
our old friend ABRACADABRA''. He mentions elsewhere that since the sphere
of Ritual is also a sphere of SORCERY, on proceeding to initiation he is
given the symbol ABRACADABRA.. and is told it is the TRUE WORD.... Most
people know that the word ABRACADABRA has to do with MAGIC, but did
you know that this word comes from ABRAXAS? ABRAXAS, by the way, is a DEMON!
Masons are actually taught that this Demon is the TRUE WORD. " (page 25 - 26)
"On July 14, 1889, Pike (a 33rd degree Mason) gave instructions to
the 23 Supreme Councils of the World: .To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors
General (the name of the 33rd degree, the highest degree in Scottish Rite
Masonry), 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 LUCIFERIAN DOCTRINE.
YES, LUCIFER IS GOD... the PURE philosophical RELIGION IS THE BELIEF IN
LUCIFER ...LUCIFER, GOD OF LIGHT AND GOD OF GOOD..." (page 27)
'MORALS AND DOGMA' a book written by Pike is the handbook for the Masons.
When Jim Shaw earned his 32nd degree... (he was given)..a copy of Albert
Pike's book. ..We were told that it was the source book for Freemasonry and
its meaning.. C. Fred Kleinknecht, a 33rd degree Mason.. told all Masons .
that one particular book was to be their daily guide for living-their
"Bible." That book... is Albert Pike's 'Morals and Dogma'." (page 27 - 28)
Review author's note: It has been alleged that Albert Pike was also a
co-founder of the KKK.
The inverted pentagram (upside down 5 pointed star) is commonly
known as a Satanic symbol. "..the EASTERN STAR (a MASONIC organization
composed of third degree Masons and women relatives of third degree Masons)
uses the pentagram with the ONE POINT DOWN...The Mystic Shrine (another
MASONIC group composed only of Masons who have advanced to the 32nd degree)
also uses a pentagram with ONE POINT DOWN as its symbol." (page 32)
"Hutchinson . . .brags "that we (Masonry) retain more of the ceremonials and
doctrines of the DRUIDS than is to be found in the whole world besides..."
The DRUIDS were OCCULT priests who WORSHIPPED MANY GODS. .and offered HUMAN
SACRIFICES." (page 33)
"J. Edward Decker reports that "'The All Seeing Eye' is a MASONIC
representation of Osiris. Osiris is the Egyptian god of the dead (and of the
underworld) and part of the "Masonic trinity" to whom the Masons pay
honor..." (page 34)
"..the word "LUCIFER" means "LIGHT BEARER," so Masons are the
"children of light" or . . "the children of Lucifer" . . . Masonic writer,
Foster Bailey, says: ...masters of wisdom.. assist ..the candidate.. until
the time comes when he can "enter into light" and, in his turn become a
LIGHT-BEARER , one of the ILLUMINATI who can assist the Lodge on High in
bringing humanity to light...The "Masters of Wisdom" are spirit guides
(actually Demons) who are supposedly directing the way to a ONE WORLD ORDER
and the ILLUMINATI is an
organization that was founded on May 1, 1776 by Adam Weishaupt. The name
"Illuminati" is derived from Lucifer. The Illuminati was dedicated to a "NEW
WORLD ORDER" or a "ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT" ... (page 36)
"The left hand side of the back of the dollar bill (U.S.) also contains a
pyramid with the "All-Seeing-Eye" above it.." and the date of the
founding of the Illuminati in Roman numerals and the words NEW WORLD
ORDER in Latin. (page 37)
