Some other things which may interest you in regards to demonology are memes aka "egregores." Or mental genes if you will. They work very similarly, on the mental level anyway, as discarnate spirits. Memes are sort of like a memory which can be "made alive" to make a person into a doppelganger of say, a deceased person, to continue their plans or acquire their expertise in something like business, ritual, painting, or nearly anything else (study up on the memory grove behind the Salt Lake City capitol building). They are usually downloaded through behavioural adaption to match a particular personality which is glamorized or constantly referred to, or otherwise brought to be pondered on until the transmission occurs, then they begin to emulate the dead person, who otherwise would only be a memory (on the physical plane). The basic purpose of a meme is to override the reason, download new objectives and thus modify the behaviour to fulfill the plan of the person who creates the meme. Meme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If you can find them, the documents written by the Japanese during the purges, when they would meditatively behead Christians, on how they felt something had moved from the person to themselves when they chopped their head off, is of note. The pattern created and maintained in the old body would find new life as a memory in the mind of the samurai, and would be transmitted down through the ages, growing and evolving then shaping the culture. "M05. Example of a Meme. The 10 Commandments. To some people, the 10 commandments are a good basis for morality, to be amended as necessity dictates. Thus it is not a meme. It is the word of God to some people and must never be violated. Thus due to religious brainwashing it is a meme. As the 10 Commandments are politically correct, they must be a meme. Ideally for a meme to work, it must be in the subconscious and hidden from conscious thought. While the 10 commandments are not the best example, they are the best example that everyone knows. On second thoughts, as they are known to 3 billion people, it may be a better meme than we credit. The structure is as follows:- * MASTER or OWNER. Jehovah. * IDENTITY. The Ten Commandments. * CONTROL and PROGRAMMING. 1. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other God before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any craven image. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. 5. Honour thy father and thy mother. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 10. Thou shalt not covet. * ADVERTISING and DISTRIBUTION. You had better spread the word in case your neighbour is not so inhibited. Be on the glamorous winning side of self righteousness.. * DEFENCE and RETRIBUTION. The vengeance of Jehovah. The Guilt from Sin. * SLAVES. Every Jew, Christian and Moslem. * * PAIN. Add in the mechanics of brain washing as appropriate to the situation. When a meme is completely hidden from conscious thought, then any violation leads to the guilt of sin. The victim does not know what he has violated, which confuses him no end. Priests make money by giving the wrong answers. They do not know the right answers themselves. As most of orthodox religion is based on memes, it is little wonder that there is an abundance of original sin. The 11th Commandment (Thou shalt not be found out) is crucial for the survival of memes. NB. There are as many versions of the 10 commandments as there are translators and writers. There is also doubt as to the exact number.

What is an Egregore? by Theron Dunn, 32° Freemason Before starting, the author would like to express thanks to Wr. Giovanni Lombardo for his assistance in defining and bringing this article to the readers. If you have never heard of the term “egregore”, join the crowd. Many people have never heard the word, and until recently, that crowd INCLUDED the author. A year ago, while on The Lodgeroom US, a fervent antimasonic… person, named Thomas “Skip” Sampson, tossed out an unsupported and off topic slander to the effect that we masons should go back to working on evoking our egregore in lodge. At the time, the author was stunned, never before having heard the word. A quick internet search revealed nothing, and not having any information on the subject, a research project was born, and thence this paper. At the time, very little was available, though that has changed recently. One of the problems is that egregore is spelled two different ways, with a “E” at the end, and without. This made is difficult at first to find information. So, what is an egregore, and how does it relate to freemasonry? Let start with a simple explanation of what an egregore is, or is reputed to be, and then move on from there. On this subject, there are various opinions, especially among “occultists” who seem to be the primary authors on the nature of the egregore. Following are the four primary occultist definitions: An energized astral form produced consciously or unconsciously by human agency. In particular, (a) a strongly characterized form, usually an archetypal image, produced by the imaginative and emotional energies of a religious or magical group collectively, or (b) an astral shape of any kind, deliberately formulated by a magician to carry a specific force.[1] …from a Greek word meaning “watcher.” A thought-form created by will and visualization. A group egregore is the distinctive energy of a specific group of magicians who are working together, creating and building the same thought-form or energy-form.[2] Any symbolic pattern that has served as a focus for human emotion and energy will build up an egregore of its own over time, and the more energy that is put into such a pattern, the more potent the egregore that will form around it. The gods and goddesses of every religion, past and present, are at the centers of vast egregore charged with specific kinds of power. This power is defined by, and contacted through, the traditional symbolism of the deity in question.[3] An egregore is an angel, sometimes called watcher; in Hebrew the word is ir, and the concept appears in The Book of Enoch.... Thus, Irim, the city of the Nephilim is again linked with the Book of Enoch, since the Nephilim, according to that Book, were the sons of the Irim (the egregores.)....Although the Irim, the egregores, are angels on both sides of the camp - fallen angels as well as faithful ones.[4] René Guénon, a prolific writer on Masonic philosophy offers the following: First of all, we must point out that we have never used the word ‘egregore’ to designate what could properly be called a ‘collective entity’; the reason for this is that the term is wholly untraditional and only represents one of the fantasies of modern occultist language. The first person to use it (egregore) this way was Eliphas Levy, and if our memory is exact, it was he who, to justify this meaning gave it the improbable Latin etymology, deriving it from grex, ‘flock’, whereas the word is purely Greek and has never signified anything more than watcher.[5] It appears therefore that, according to Guénon that an egregore is a manifestation of psychic energy, as opposed to a spiritual force as the occultists would define it. Now that the author has completely confused you, let us proceed to dissect what we have as “definitions” to see if we can come to an understanding of the egregore, and its “place” in freemasonry. Of the definitions offered, that of Guénon seems to be the one that actually relates to masonry, while the others relate to religious/occult faith. The egregore is a psychic entity, existing between the material and the spiritual, in contact with both. It is the creation of the psychic will of the members of a group, and exists as a connection to the divine. As we work rituals, the focused mental energy creates and invokes the egregore to fulfill the need of the group. An egregore is not a magical creature, it is not self aware, and is not a Djin, to carry out wishes. The egregore serves as a conduit, a nexus, to connect the group that created/invoked it to the spiritual. Some egregores are temporary, while some, like the egregore of a lodge, a church, or a country, are the result of the continuous will that creates them, and this will also sustains them. The egregore of freemasonry has existed for centuries, and is the result of the focused will to connect with the spiritual from millions of men. An egregore is the psychic “entity”. All members of a group, whether it is a club, your family, your lodge, a faith, a political party, a country, or even a single person, are united with the egregore of that group through a psychic connection. As a result, and given the nature of society, we are often included in the sphere of several egregores at once. The strength and ability of the egregore to aid and assist the members of the group grows over time and through numbers, by drawing support from the members constituting it and through their repeated actions maintain its power. The egregore, in turn, invokes the immaterial and raises us from the material, connecting us to the subtle worlds. Where the intent is positive and spiritual, the effect of the egregore consists in conveying spirituality to the members as in the initiatic process of the lodge. The intent is to divest the candidate of the profane and connect him to the spiritual, and for most masons, that effect is felt and received most profoundly. To the contrary, in the case of other groups, especially the counter-initiatic ones – which adopt rites and symbols to attain profane or negative goals – the egregore can be quite destructive to the lives and spirits of those members.[6] Each individual who is involved in a group is influenced by these egregores. For those that reach for a spiritual connection, the egregore assists and facilitates that connection. This process is unconscious, but is intensified through the initiatic process, which is designed to open the mind to the spiritual through the egregore. A symbolic representation of this may be had in the examination of the Star of David, an emblem of the divine. The top triangle points the heavens, and to the spirit. The bottom triangle points down, to the material and profane. United, they form a new entity, the six-pointed star that represents the unity of the two, from material to the spirit, connection to the divine. An example of this we are familiar with in Freemasonry is the Compasses and Square. The compass represents the male, the spiritual energy, while the square represents the material. The compasses enclose and define the spiritual, as in the point within a circle, while the square defines the mortal, the material world. United, these two symbols, like the triangles, which form the Star of David, an emblem the represents the divine, so, too, does the square and compasses united, represent the divine, as is shown by the letter G in the middle. So, the nature of the egregore has been known since time immemorial, as shown above. Its function is that of a guide, and intercessory, to conduct the group members to the spirit and connect them with it. Some groups are connected more powerfully from the profane and mortal side to the spiritual than others, some less so, but to each group according to its intent. As with all things, it is the intent that matters, not the form. Guénon goes on to state, in reference to the egregore’s influence: Man has, however, to point out that the Egregore “can never transcend the individual domain since, in the final analysis, it is only a resultant of the component individualities, nor, consequently, can it go beyond the psychic order; now all that is, only psychic can have no effective and direct relationship with initiation since this latter consists essentially in the transmission of a spiritual influence meant to produce effects of a similar spiritual order, thus transcendent with respect to the individuality, whence one obviously must conclude that whatever is able to render effective the initially virtual action of this influence, must itself necessarily have a supra-individual and thus, if one may put it so, a supra-collective character.”[7] In a lodge of freemasons, the egregore is strengthened by time and experience, and the will and intention of good men. The strength of the egregore is patent in the effect the ritual has on the candidate, and effect that cannot be accounted for simply in the execution of the ritual itself. We have all experienced the thrill, the exhilaration of the initiation, and the emotional high that carries us for days afterward as the flame is kindled in our breast. This is the spirit the egregore connects us with that fills us and carries us. It is this spirit that breathes in us, inspires us with brotherly love, relief, truth and charity. The spirit is from the divine. The egregore is the psychic link between the mortal to the spirit. The mason is inspired by the breath of the spirit. And thus: freemasonry.

Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage Also, go get the book "The second coming of Christ" by Paramahansa Yogananda for a detailed insight into Satan's mind, how and why he tempts, why he fell, how he fell, what attracts him, what repels him, etc through Yogananda's direct perception.

Precisely!

Lucifer's only power is to blind people with endless variations of false teachings. Thus "bearer of the light." "Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!" -Albert Pike, morals and dogma The four demon princes of the world, lucifer, leviathan, satan, and belial each have a different method of turning man away from Truth. Lucifer brings blind faith, satan brings materialism, leviathan brings lust, and belial brings superstitious practices.

The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is one, if not the most plainly stated sin in the Bible, on how to commit it. It is to attribute beneficial thaumaturgical power to Satan, to reject knowledge because it does not pander to one's prejudices. It is to see a miracle, a real miracle, one which does something beneficial, and then turn around and attribute it to Satan because it has shattered a delusion in which one is living. The penalty for committing it, is to be cast into outer darkness, or the delusion which is away from the Truth, as opposed to the Truth or light, and have to work their way out of it without any help, as they have rejected whatever help they had available. The true implication of it will only become apparent once the body has been dropped, and the dual-brain is no longer available for thought, and the singular brain of the soul cannot rid itself of the rubbish which it was carrying, and in the attempt to rip it away (now taking the form of a demon or possession), it rips itself, begins to hurt itself uncontrollably and drifts into screaming oblivion. Not to say that they will remain on earth as long as the body does. A body can continue to exist and work using its anima or pattern created by its former inhabitant for some time, often indicated through extreme mood swings caused by the use of the body by whatever is hanging around, psychologically vampiric, abusive behaviour, etc. To get rid of the rubbish which has become a part of oneself, a new dual-brain is required in which the person will not have the choice of going back and working out the delusion in which they were living, after having gone through incalculable agony. The final delusion is of being, something, or someone, as opposed to the One life in Jesus Christ, which appears to be nothing from without. John 18:20 "Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue (among the prejudiced), and in the temple (among the open), whither the Jews always resort; and in secret (parables) have I said nothing (Ain)." Also note The Tenth Aethyr wherein the chief demon brags he is the maker of form. Thus we are to deny ourselves as or Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ commanded, if we are to follow him. Matthew 12: 22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Please stop. If I am only going to cause contention here, and be accused of lying, I will just go away. I too read this in the Ensign magazine, and that is what I base my assumption on. As for being accused of being a sociopath, well, if not having a conscience makes me one, then I suppose I am one; I do not have a problem with that description. As a Gnostic, I believe that one is supposed to listen to their heart, not conscience, which in my faith is the voice of satan. I will just head off, and let Mr. Snow fight with you and himself. I have no desire to insult or argue with him. Frankly, I have better things to be doing besides. The light of Christ be with you all.

Bytebear: I absolutely love your article. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ also cursed the fig tree to wither to demonstrate the power of God. jakephillips1: Thank you for the effort, but there is no need to defend me. I am hardly alone in my beliefs; but I am totally alone in making them available to outsiders, and they tend to make people very uncomfortable, and I understand that, and expect to be attacked as a result - but I just ignore it. I have no desire that my faith finds roots in another, only that the tenets are made available, and help people in their own faith, as Joseph Smith's and other Mormon prophet's works have done for me, despite my not being a Mormon. Humanity is all one big family, and it makes little difference to me what a person's faith is.

That is satanism, not the occult. Occultism is the study of hidden things, the divine science of the spiritual.

I see you have a bone to pick with me. And no, I not only do not care what other people think of me, nor I do have the ability to feel guilt or shame, or conscience. The only "urim and thummin" used was that rock, and if you check the other urls in the scripture study forum, you will read that it was found in a drawer in the temple, and is now being kept in a safe, along with Wilford Woodruff's Qabalistic squares. If Joseph Smith did not use that rock, and used something else, then he is a false prophet; if he was not using the occult also, he then is a false prophet. Are you telling me, that he was not using it, and was not practicing magic? I used to assume that he was bogus until a friend of mine in the church brought to light that he was indeed a practitioner, and I admitted my mistaken approach due to my ignorance, and began to study the book of Mormon, giving it the same credence as the Bible, Koran, and other scriptures written by divinely inspired prophets. If you would like to prove that Joseph Smith was not an occultist and prophet, used something other than that rock, was not a Gnostic, and was not divinely inspired, please provide some proof. I did not come here to convert or argue, only share and learn, but I have seen enough evidence to prove Joseph Smith was a prophet, and will not easily be convinced otherwise.

I don't bother making any points. I just wanted to share. Yet I suppose that, ultimately, it is that the Mormon Prophets speak the truth, and that it is ignored in just about every possible way by the majority of those who hear what they have to say.

It's all intertwined. There are two sides of it, selling one's soul for worldly power, or controlling them instead, but one or the other has to be done to obtain power, authority, and wealth.

He was officially recognized on March 15, 1842, but had been active since late December, 1823, a few days after his 18th birthday.

The Urim and Thummin are in a safe in the Salt Lake temple, and what is so weird about the methods used to "translate" the book of Mormon? Joseph Smith was given a copy of Francis Barret's "The Magus" for his 12th birthday by his father, and he worked, almost daily, extensively, with the practices therein. They even found the seal of Jupiter in his jacket pocket when he was killed. But... if he DIDN'T use these things, wouldn't that make him a false prophet? You better believe it. The bible is littered with these kinds of practices. Jesus spat in the mud and put it on the eyes of a blind man to make him see, a prophet told a leper to bath in the Jordan river, Samson let his hair grow long to absorb astral energy, the list goes on and on. THE OCCULTISM OF THE BIBLE AND THE KABBALAH Rabbi H. Geffen, 32 degree, F.P.S. THE NEW AGE - FEBRUARY 1950 (The New Age Magazine is the Official Organ of Scottish Rite Freemasonry) Kabbalah is a knowledge of Divine Wisdom. This truth is the foundation stone upon which the regenerating and saving portion of every true religion is based. The Kabbalah transmits to us such knowledge as the adepts of those times chose to commit to writing. Our Masonic spiritual allegories are based on the Kabbalah, which is known to us moderns as the Kabbalistic Doctrine. Monotheism is the only true religion. Masonic students claim the Bible to be an occult book wherein the Kabbalistic system is embodied in allegories and symbols. The written and oral laws are dependent on and complete each other. The Kabbalah originated with the Essenes, and also with the initiated Talmudists, who arranged Kabbalistic schools that followed Akiba and Simon Ben Jochai, who consolidated it into a scientific system in the Books, Jetzirah and Zohar. The two chief classics of the Kabbalah, Jetzirah and Zohar, attributed respectively to Akiba and Simon Ben Jochai, reveal the basis of the occult religion of the Hebrews. The most ancient and most comprehensive is the Sefer Jetzirah, probably written by Rabbi Akiba. The Zohar teaches us that true Torah, or Law of Moses, is not in the literal but in the allegorical interpretation of the Pentateuch. Philo Judeas, in his treatise "On the Allegories of the Sacred Laws," elucidated in a very cautions manner a few of these subjects: the Creation, the Garden of Eden, the Deluge, the Tilling of the Earth by Man, the Confusion of Languages, the Migration of Abraham, His Two Wives, and many more such subjects having mystic truth as their foundation. Moses probably received and revived the Monotheism of Abraham. But, the Divine Kabbalah is the spiritual interpretation of material symbols and emblems. It is this tradition-namely, the esoteric Law of Moses-which is the Torah, whereof is recorded in the Talmud: "Moses received the Oral Law from Sinai and delivered it to Joshua, and Joshua to the Elders, and the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets to the Men of the Great Synagogue." It must, therefore, be well understood that the Torah thus mentioned by the Talmud is not the written, but the Oral Law, or Kabbalah, transmitted by tradition from generation to generation, until collected by Simon Ben Jochai and preserved in the volume of the Zohar. The Talmud is the Oral Law and is, in itself, in some places of a Kabbalistic character as a symbolical vehicle of the Divine Kabbalah. There were two traditions in the Occult Kabbalah, an exoteric tradition perpetuated and an esoteric tradition wherein the Kabbalah was transmitted. The exoteric tradition is permeated with Kabbalism. One must be a studious Mason to discern the esoteric direction from the exoteric customs having no divine object. It is not my purpose here to write the story of Moses. It is well known that he had obtained the hidden mysteries of Egypt, but he annulled the superstitious belief of the Egyptians and he built a true Monotheistic creed of Divine Wisdom. Hence, he insisted on worship being directed exclusively to Jehovah, the One Universal Omnipotent God; he also insisted on perfect purity of thought, word and deed. As a true Prophet we must suppose that his sacrifices consisted not of the shedding of innocent blood, but his intention was to prevent the people from human sacrifices. In studying diligently Masonic Occult Philosophy, we, must thus take into consideration that the Bible is a Kabbalistic Book, allegorically written and symbolically illustrated. The systems of the Kabbalah and Esoteric Masonry are identical, and for this reason the Masons call their Temple the Temple of Solomon. All the Masonic ceremonies have a Kabbalistic base. Their virtue is not doubted. There are moral, hygienic and spiritual rules of conduct given. The highest thought that Kabbalah and Masonry ever expressed was Universality. Although the Bible history is allegoric and symbolic and has much fable, it is doubtless founded upon truth. Moses and the Prophets, the Essenes, and the Tanaim were occultists and, consequently, most if not all their writings are manifestly or occultly treatises on Kabbalah; and we can say with certainty that they were the forerunners of Masonry. This assumption must naturally occur to the minds of only right thinking Masons, who are penetrated by the sublime virtues of our order and are justly entitled to bear the name of Occult Masonic students.

Yes. Ezra Taft Benson said many times, that the book of Mormon was the most correct book on earth. Why was this? When we read about the finding of the golden plates in the hill Cumorah, we are to understand it as the finding of the literally written bible in Jerusalem by the Templars during their excavations, which is today given to 33rd Masons and members of other organizations. Joseph Smith was killed by his own lodge for putting large portions (but only portions, he left much out, or "sealed" as it was too much to give out right now) of it in the book of Mormon. (Note that he recognized his brethren in the crowd, and tried to give the sign of distress "Oh Lord my God, who will have mercy on the widow's son?" but was shot and fell from the window before he made it past the 4th word.) A careful study of the bible and the book of Mormon, with the carnal eyes closed, and the spiritual eyes opened, will prove their self-evident truths.

This is a response to the article "1st Nephi 4:11" in the gospel discussion forum. I recently sat down to discuss the book of Mormon with a recently returned Missionary and very good and intelligent man (who I will leave anonymous), who spoke some true words of wisdom regarding it: Missionary: "There is not a scrap of physical evidence to prove the Gospel. It is a Gospel of faith, and that is good enough for me. It may not be good enough for many other people, but that is just how it is." ME: "The Book of Mormon, like the Bible, is allegories which state the truth, and not to be read literally." Missionary: "Exactly!" The "killings" of the scriptures are symbolic and have nothing to do with actual violence toward a human being. It is another look at holding the "Iron Rod" and fighting with the ego which infects the mind of the common man and resists the act, which is here represented by Laban, or La Ban, French for "the bank," which is another way to describe "the two sons of oil which stand before the lord" or two thieves [of souls from the astral to put them "in the bank," or the material world] which are crucified with the Lord on the hill of the skull, which are resisting the command of the Lord to give up his spirit into the hands of our Father. To understand the book of Mormon, you have to understand Joseph Smith, and his true faith, along with that of all other 33rd Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons. Religion, all religion, is inimical with this statement: "The Blue Degrees are but the outer portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally mislead by false interpretation. It is not intended that he understand them, but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry. The whole body of the Royal or Sacerdotal Art was hidden so carefully...in the High Degrees, as that it is even yet impossible to solve many of the enigmas which they contain. It is well enough for the many of those called Masons, to imagine that all is contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will labor in vain, and without any true reward violate his obligations as an Adept. Masonry is the veritable Sphinx, buried to the head in the sands heaped round it by the ages." Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, page. 819 Look at the aim of the Gospel: The "Celestial kingdom." OF THE SECRET OF FREEMASONRY Now of Him is our Lord the Sun Father, Creator, Preserver and Destroyer, One, Exalted, Perfect, Giver of Life and Death, Vicegerent and Vicegerent of Heaven; and upon Earth is His representative the Sacred Eidolon within the Ark of the Covenant of whom even in this place we speak not but in hidden terms, for that He is sacred and secret beyond all that are or may be, the Rod wherein Prometheus brought down Fire from heaven. And either Image and Son of the All-Father undergoeth Death and Resurrection; and the symbols are cognate; and the Feasts of one and the other have been celebrated throughout all recorded time by the initiates of all faiths. And the vulgar, ignorant of this, have mingled the two worships, appointing the times of one and the seasons of the other, the observances of the second and the ordinances of the first in the same ritual; wherefore have minds been darkened and understandings confounded. Thus at Easter is the Crucifixion or Copulation, and nine months later is the Birth of the Child, which liveth 33 years, being a generation of mankind, and is crucified. Yet is this coming led with the descent of the Sun below the Equator and His resurrection, and again with the daily agony of the Sun. Now then our Brethren, having the true Keys of all religion; namely that all cults typify either the Mysteries of Lingam and Yoni or of Sol, Luna, and Terra, can for themselves interpret all rites, create new faiths and new feasts, ruling the world in justice and righteousness under the Supreme and Most Holy King X° that is to them Father and God. For this is the arcanum of the Hierophants of old, that in this cult of the Sun in Heaven and of the Phallus on Earth all men can unite, for that these mysteries are reasonable and true, and no man can deny them. This is that which is written ‘Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward men!’ And this is the true and final secret of Freemasonry; this Sun, is it not the Great Architect of the Universe, the Father of the System, the Eidolon of the Macrocosm? And this Phallus, is it not the Great Architect of this other Universe of Man, the Father of the Race, the Eidolon of the Microcosm? Is not this that Truth which is established in the mouth of two witnesses? Wherefore be ye vigilant, preserving that Kingdom of God which is within you from defilement, chaste unto your Lord that is Light, Life, Love and Liberty indeed. Also, remember well that in all this instruction no word is wasted; and that by deep and continuous study of the text may ye enlighten your souls. Now then at last are ye indeed initiates of Freemasonry; now at last are ye worthy to rule and govern the Rite in the law of Righteousness and Truth, giving Light, Life, Liberty and Love to all men of full age, free and of good report, that solicit admission to the Lodge. Compare the 4th chapter with the 8th chapter of 1st Nephi. "1st Nephi capt. 4: 9 And I beheld his sword, and I drew it forth from the sheath thereof; and the hilt thereof was of pure gold, and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine, and I saw that the blade thereof was of the most precious steel. 10 And it came to pass that I was constrained by the Spirit that I should kill Laban; but I said in my heart: Never at any time have I shed the blood of man. And I shrunk and would that I might not slay him. 11 And the Spirit said unto me again: Behold the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands. Yea, and I also knew that he had sought to take away mine own life; yea, and he would not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord; and he also had taken away our property. 12 And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me again: Slay him, for the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands; 13 Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief. 14 And now, when I, Nephi, had heard these words, I remembered the words of the Lord which he spake unto me in the wilderness, saying that: Inasmuch as thy seed shall keep my commandments, they shall prosper in the land of promise. 15 Yea, and I also thought that they could not keep the commandments of the Lord according to the law of Moses, save they should have the law. 16 And I also knew that the law was engraven upon the plates of brass. 17 And again, I knew that the Lord had delivered Laban into my hands for this cause—that I might obtain the records according to his commandments. 18 Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own sword. 19 And after I had smitten off his head with his own sword, I took the garments of Laban and put them upon mine own body; yea, even every whit; and I did gird on his armor about my loins. 20 And after I had done this, I went forth unto the treasury of Laban. And as I went forth towards the treasury of Laban, behold, I saw the servant of Laban who had the keys of the treasury. And I commanded him in the voice of Laban, that he should go with me into the treasury." Each of the cities/persons killed in the old testament have a Qabalistic meaning for one material desire (idolatry) of one form or another. Jesus taught to turn the other cheek - it is said that the first thing Satan taught man when he was cast out of heaven was self-defense and to kill to eat. Scriptures are symbolic, and are to be read spiritually, not materially. "The literal interpretation of the bible is for the vulgar only." -Albert Pike, morals and dogma Acts chapter 10, the admonition not to reject peoples of other races and faiths: "13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." Another: 1st Timothy 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: If we read the bible literally, then God contradicts himself when he says the use of animal flesh is ONLY allowed when it's a choice between your life or the animals: D&C section 89, 12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; 13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine. 14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth; 15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.

The bible says that on Saturday one is not to work. Exodus capt. 20 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

The term "Firstborn" is of substantial significance in Judaic theology. From the beginning, when Moses brought the Qabalah from Egypt and gave it as the secret doctrine for the priests, in a Levite family, the only person who admitted to the Qabalah was the firstborn, and the other children were barred from being allowed access, under pain of death to anyone who revealed, as well as to the one it was revealed to, unless he was the firstborn. Secret Teachings of All Ages: The Qabbalah, the Secret Doctrine of Israel The Hebrews were "God's chosen" people to preserve and hide this doctrine from the masses, and although the others not firstborn were not initiated, but given the outer religion only, they too were told that they were God's chosen, to ensure that their egoism would go through the roof, and prevent the discovery of the truth, which requires utmost humility. Each religion has an outer teaching, or veil, for the public, and an inner core with the truth for the adepts, or "princes of masonry" as Albert Pike refers to it. Islam has Sufism, Christianity has Gnosticism, Buddhism has Zen, Hinduism has Yoga, and so on. This is represented by the tabernacle which had an outer room for the laity, and a "Holy of Holies" for the Levite priests who alone were allowed truth. With their destruction the Jews were scattered and the truth lost - what was once sacrifice of the animal desires became sacrifice of literal animals, and so on. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came to restore the truth (fulfill the law and prophets) and as with all prophets, was seen as strange, misguided, and demonic even, by the clergy of his day, and was generally rejected by those he came to save ("I come not to save the righteous but to call sinners to repentance" [thus he was sent to the Jews and not Gentiles, who by this point had lost, save for a few, the truth, while it was still present in other nations]) was accepted by the Greeks and Romans. (Note the names of the Gospel writers, Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John, which are all Greek names.) As a result of the rejection of the Firstborn, or Christ, God destroyed the Hebrew nation and scattered them to the wind. This fulfilled this prophecy (And note that God refers to the king of Babylon as his servant): "Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations." Jeremiah 25:9 The term "Firstborn" is thus synonymous with those who have been given the truth. Jesus spoke in parables, which are allegories, St. Paul says that Abraham was not a person but an allegory in Galatians 4; these are admonitions of the supreme importance of keeping the truth away from the masses. "Cast not pearls before swine." This is why the terms goyim and gentile (both mean cattle) are used to describe the non-Jew, or non-initiate, who without the truth, is not a wo/man, but a beast to be yoked beneath the veil or outer teaching.

I will be gone for some weeks, but let me leave this last post until then (and give a large thank you to all the people I have conversed with, I have learned a lot and enjoyed the conversations.): "The respective names of these genii of the spheres are love (Jehovah), Sabaoth, Adonai, Eloi, Ouraios, Astaphaios. The first four, as every one knows, are the mystic names of the Jewish "Lord God." -Helena Blavatsky, THE CHRISTIAN SCHEME, GNOSIS AND CHRISTIANITY: Christos and Sophia Achamoth Pike's quote about the sublime truths in a religion being necessarily hidden from the majority is also mirrored in the bible, in Matthew capt. 13: 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

It is coming out of the point of "I am" in the core of your consciousness. On sleeping and waking you are not losing consciousness but withdrawing the universe in or out. When you move the mind to anything, may be you are creating it and don't realize it... the concept of a universe separate from one's being is folly. This "I am" refered to as Eheieh Asher Eheieh (I am that I am) in the bible is older than time. If I ask you, where were you before you were born, you may say, "I was not." What is this I who knew it was not? It means "I was not as I am now." It was, is, and shall be. John 8: 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am.

Ephesians 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The best way to deal with them I believe is located in the book of Jasher, chapter 2: 11, to take control over the master of these "Gadianton Robbers" and thus they themselves. "Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?"Joshua 10: 13. "Behold it is written in the Book of Jasher."II Samuel 1: 18 The book of Jasher chapter 2: 10 And Enosh lived ninety years and he begat Cainan; 11 And Cainan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over all the sons of men, and he led the sons of men to wisdom and knowledge; for Cainan was a very wise man and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons; 12 And Cainan knew by his wisdom that God would destroy the sons of men for having sinned upon earth, and that the Lord would in the latter days bring upon them the waters of the flood. 13 And in those days Cainan wrote upon tablets of stone, what was to take place in time to come, and he put them in his treasures. 14 And Cainan reigned over the whole earth, and he turned some of the sons of men to the service of God. Pictures by PastorBob - Photobucket (Pardon the grainy cell phone photos.) I would like to also bring to attention the practices of at least three LDS prophets (Joseph Smith, Wilford Woodruff, and Ezra Taft Benson) which earned my deepest respect for them, despite my not being a Mormon: http://www.renaissanceastrology.com/barrett.html This url says, “Rather than seeing the use of magic and astrology as evidence against Joseph Smith I had greater respect for him and the coherence of his world view.” Amen to that statement a hundred times over! One of my good local friends in the Mormon church brought these things to my attention, telling me that Joseph Smith had been given a copy of Francis Barrett’s “The Magus” for his 12th Birthday from his father, when I mistakenly told him that Joseph Smith could not have been a prophet as he was not a practitioner of the arts (or so I thought at the time), as well sending me these photos of Wilford Woodruff’s Qabalistic tables from a drawer in the Salt Lake Temple (see below – I do not agree with the anti-Mormon sentiment displayed in the text, but the photos are well worth the look), which prompted me to read the excellent book of Mormon many years ago.

A friend of mine who is a stake president drinks Pepsi. The word of wisdom counsels against "Hot drinks" and I believe modern scientific research is showing that heated liquids, are heads and shoulders above anything else, destructive to the teeth as they turn the calcium compounds to lime in every increasing amounts.

Yes, it is usually Baruch Hashem, "Praise the name." My Grandfather told me that the outer adherence to never saying God even when used in a religious setting was a sign of wickedness, as much as the use of the word God in a derogatory manner is. Adonai was derived from the Roman Adonis. The Torah was derived from the Egyptian Tarot, Hebrew was formed from the 22 major arcana by Moses with the help of his now deified mentor Thoth, and the Qabalah from the Kab-ah-ansk, Amen from Amun, but we'll save that for another time. Judaism, as with any other religion, is scarcely exempt from this rule: "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 mislead; to conceal the Truth, which it calls light, and draw them away from it." [Morals and Dogma, p. 104-5, 3rd Degree] Each of the ten commandment relates to a "priestly process" which was only shared among the Levites, and kept under the strictest secrecy.
