LOL, cant help it. Every time I see the title of this thread I have a need to respond to it.

My father is officially a third grate Free Mason.

Nah.. he is not a Monster wait! euh.. I guess???  (looking under his bed)

Freemasons are traditionally closely allied to socialist and democratic principles.  They are traditionally opposed to Plutocratic and undemocratic regimes and were behind movements like the Fabian Society, the French revolution (against Monarchy), the founding of the United States of America (fundamentally democratic) and the rise of Marxism (NOT SOVIET STALINISM!) - which for most of the last century was the only serious challenger to the abomination known as capitalism.  Even the Templars and associated Chivalric Orders (where much of Masonry descends from) were persecuted due to their opposition to the Roman Papacy (i.e. they OPPOSED IMPERIALISM)

Adding to what you wrote, here in Portugal most of the first republican politicians were Masons, and today many politicians (mostly from the centre-left Socialist Party) are known Masons.

[ArMaP]

Almada ... make me think of Lisboa, one of the most nice town in Europe !

I live in Almada since 1970, but I was born in Lisbon.

If one day I m going throught Lisboa,  may I ring ? and we'll maybe have a
ginja ? 

I don't like ginja, but why not?

[WarToad]

Both my Brother-in-law and an Uncle are Masons, both of them very nice guys.  Either one of them is happy to tell you what goes on behind closed meeting doors, especially after a few too many  beers.  Upcoming fundraisers, a parade they need volenteers for, Bill had a heart attack and we're sending a card, the hot new Postmistress 1 town over, update on paid bills and current savings, new BBQ joint in town owned by a Vet, officer vacancy, food drive at St. Catherine's next week, anyone have a bobcat we can borrow next saturday, ect ect ect...

If you were a fly on the wall at a Masons meeting, you'ld soon be a very bored fly on the wall at a Mason meeting.  They are not monsters, they are men, it is a very old fashioned form of social and business networking.

Adding to what you wrote, here in Portugal most of the first republican politicians were Masons, and today many politicians (mostly from the centre-left Socialist Party) are known Masons.

Exactly.  The situation is similar in the UK and France.

I see so much absolute nonsense written about Masonry.  It seems as though Westerners are oblivious to the fact that most of the freedoms they have today are in no small part a result of the work of Masonic Lodges.

Lodges, due to their behind closed doors meetings and close bonds of trust, are perfect for organising moves against oppressive regimes.  Republican movements and causes with a strong social justice ethos are good examples of this.

If you look into the History of French, U.S. or Portuguese Republicanism, British democratic movements and more you will always find that there are, in the background, groups of Masons, Rosicrucians or similar.  The key players are almost always from these groups.

[Glaucon]

Well you COULD learn about Sacred Geometry right here... I have a really good thread about it here... but not mentioning the Masons and RC in context with it? Not possible

And using Pike and Crowley as source material? You people make me laugh....

The fact that you wince when you see the eye everywhere when you don't understand it, tells me perhaps it is best I leave that thread in the Mystic Secret room after all....

You and Undo say the secrets are 'in the wrong hands"  and you both say who are they to decide who gets to see it...  but either one of you can simply join and have access to those secrets... once you show you have a serious will to learn

Do you think either of you are 'the right hands' to hold such information?

Here is one example on the extreme end...  I know how to make a nuclear device but have no interest in making one...  you think that info should just fall into the hands of everyone?

Medical schools teach you how to be a brain surgeon... yet that knowledge is kept 'secret' from the masses until you pay your tuition fees and have a basic background in medical skills. Even once you reach that 'level', many fail and never become a practicing brain surgeon

The Mystery Schools are no different. You want to learn how Jesus moved that mountain, you need to learn the basics and how to control it. And yet ALL that knowledge today is freely available on the internet  LOL  I myself have spent decades showing it.

But people like you are more interested in bad mouthing a group based on preconceived notions and what you have heard on the net... that you don't take the time to LISTEN to what is being said.

There is a course on Sacred Geometry at one College that has it online. I have posted that several times... yet no one responded save a few off the cuff comments. University of Wisconsin/Madison has the original Emerald Tablet documents... the Hermwtic Works  I have those here and on my website... but the few that have looked at them cannot understand them and prefer to use web versions written by people with no Hermetic teaching

But you would be biased anyway as the are Rosicrucian Works  just like the Bible is a Christian Work...

There is anothe course in Sacred Geometry presented by a Christian Artist... and though he uses the word God a lot... he too has to cover the Eye   But then he understands and has no problem separating knowledge from Religion even though he has his personal belief

Rdunk created a thread on here trying to show the POSITIVE side of Christianity. Yet the very people that have made claims about how Christianity is always attacked... ended up derailing that thread several times and turning it once again into a bash fest. Pimander split it... but NO ONE went to the split thread to continue the off topic nonsense...

Neither Pimander or I are Christians but we gave Rdunk the opportunity to present his religion in a positive light... but look what happened? Even those who should be most supportive of his attempt fell back into the same old attack/counter attack routine.

Now you come and start a thread calling Masons. Etc Monsters.... and you think you are ready to receive knowledge?

Well I don't think this knowledge would be in the right hands if it was to land at your feet. In fact I am more inclined to believe that;

A) You would twist it to suit your beliefs
B) Not fully understand it because you are already biased about the source
C) you have not yet reached maturity enough to put aside your need to attack that which you do not understand

Until you can free your mind from this fear of other philosophies you will never be in the right frame of mind to understand the secrets of the Universe

You Petrus has claimed to be a Kali worshiper. To many that is worshiping a vile EVIL deity...

But you say you cannot look at Mason stuff because that EYE keeps popping up...

Well to you I say ..

YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE 

Because any true Kali worshipper knows the true meaning of the EYE



And since Kali is part of Hinduism, every TRUE Hindu knows the body is the  temple

The Hindu : Life & Style / Metroplus : The body as temple

So until all you bashers can put aside your own biases long enough to LISTEN to real knowledge... you will NEVER be ready to learn the Ancient Secrets and will always be like Jesus said;

"The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, "'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.' "

Yoda:

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

Luke:

"I can't believe it."

Yoda:

"That is why you fail."

Put aside your hatred of other belief systems long enough to LISTEN to what the other guy has to say and understand that your belief (generic 'your') is not the ONLY truth

You cannot learn anything new when you vilify the very ones who possess that which you seek

BTW hear is your FIRST lesson in Sacred Geometry in the Universe itself thanks to Hubble



When your ready to put aside your bashing and learn, give me a call

I'd just like to revive this thread from the dead....and quote this for posterity.

[zorgon]

I see so much absolute nonsense written about Masonry.  It seems as though Westerners are oblivious to the fact that most of the freedoms they have today are in no small part a result of the work of Masonic Lodges.

There is a reason for that...

Remember the USA?  It once had FREEDOM  This Freedom was created by Rosicrutions/Free Masons...  it was a Grand Idea  a real Master Plan... A NEW WORLD... a NEW ATLANTIS

THINK about this  let it sink in... Benjamin Franklin designed the Great Seal of the USA with the Eye over the Pyramid. Atlantis and Lemuria are in the Rosicrucian camp.

Then in 1914... the Banking Cabal in the name of the Rothshilds got Woodrow Wilson to sign them back into control by creating the PRIVATE companies the Federal Reserve and the IRS

Ever since then there has been a push by the OWO (Old World Order) to make ANYTHING that suggests NWO to be EVIL  THEY want to maintain the OWO at all costs   THEY made people hate Masons and thus all "Illuminati"

Knights of St John  offer FREE hospital and ambulance serveice around the world... they are illegal here because FREE is unfair compitition  (They operate in Canada though... free first aid and ambulance service)

The Shriners  offer kids hospitals and help children around the world

All the fear and hype generated against the Masons etc is all created by the Banking Cabal who want to maintain the OWO

Simple as that  and once people wake up to that truth, perhaps things will change

[zorgon]

If you were a fly on the wall at a Masons meeting, you'ld soon be a very bored fly on the wall at a Mason meeting.  They are not monsters, they are men, it is a very old fashioned form of social and business networking.

My father was a Mason...  I could have joined by default but they required a belief in a God   I chose the Rosicrucain/Tibetan path

You are correct in that most Masons are simply a case of brother helping brother to achieve. You have a position available in your company, you offer it to a Brother first.  Your Brother needs a loan, you help out your Brother

If everyone did this the world would be a happier place

Outsiders however are jealous of this sharing and get bitter. They could easily join and get the same benefits but they chose to play ostrich and play the martyr.

Jews have a similar system, so do Mormons.

A Jew can go to the Synagogue and ask for a loan for a business. It will be given with no questions asked. Not only that but you can do this THREE TIMES...  If after three times you still fail they kinda figure you are worthless... literally three strikes and your out.  These "loans' are generally forgiven. I know because even as a German I had an Orthodox friend in the diamond business who gave me a $5,000 loan to start my first jewelry business. He literally told me he didn't expect it back

The Mormon;s give 10% of their earnings to the Church... that money is then used to help those in need. Even a non Mormon can get help from the church... a friend in the Renaissance  game was short on rent. They covered him for 6 months  All he had to do was attend 2 sermons a month.

The Masons and similar groups are really simply a Brother help Brother otganization...

However at the higher Degrees there is more to it... and usually those people share the power positions in Politics etc...

Traditionaly the RC and the Masons had the same roots  Literally they were the stone masons. the builders.  The RC went the route of Esoteric pursuits while the Masons focused more on Brotherhood  (The first Unions ) 

My father was a nobody, just an ordinary worker... yet when he joined the Masonic lodge  he soon became a manager at Simpson Sears in Toronto in the main downtown branch

So why do people fear them and are jealous? Why listen to BS on the internet? Why not join and find out? LOL  I hear they need members

[zorgon]

If you look into the History of French, U.S. or Portuguese Republicanism, British democratic movements and more you will always find that there are, in the background, groups of Masons, Rosicrucians or similar.  The key players are almost always from these groups.

Funny you mention the French

Let me share "Une Petite Histoire"

I am going to toss an Immortal into the mix here... because he is directly involved and it is time I completed my research on him

Now this Immortal has popped up a lot in many stories... it is possible that he is/was Sir Francis Bacon (who was Shakespeare) and he is traced to Romania and entwined with the Count Dracula stories. In this story he is known only as "the Professor"

Whether or not the "Professor" really is the Immortal is not relevent because he was real and played a key role in the creation of America  the New Atlantis...  The name of the Immortal is Count of St. Germain.

I will explore all that later

But here is how the Rosicrucian/Masons started America



The LeMarchand puzzle box known as The Child's Own Losses was first purchased by Voltaire at his Ferny Estate during one of LeMarchand's legendary auctions in 1749.  Voltaire later presented the box as a gift to the Grand Master of the Nine Sisters Lodge in Paris - Benjamin Franklin.

Philip LeMarchand first met Benjamin Franklin during a Masonic conference in New York, 1753.  The two shared interests in natural science and the hidden sciences of the Occult.

They made several trips to Europe together in the 1770s.  They primarily stayed in London but often dared travel to Paris with LeMarchand in disguise so as to not alert "the authorities" to his return.  During these journeys, Franklin made a point to always publicly introduce LeMarchand as "The Professor."

It was Franklin who introduced "The Professor" to George Washington in 1775 at a dinner party held for the American flag committee.  It is said that LeMarchand (as the Professor) "put forward several proposals about the design of the flag which were eagerly accepted by the committee without argument."



"When the dinner party broke up and the other committee members left for home, the Professor remained in conversation with Franklin and Washington for several hours.  He predicted to the two statesmen that America would soon take its rightful place as a new nation recognized by all governments of the world and was destined to be a future leader of civilization."



"He was referred to merely as the Professor and was described by those who met him as an elderly man who was very well read and extremely knowledgeable about historical events of the previous century as if he had witnessed them.  He was a vegetarian, was accompanied by a large oak chest containing rare books and ancient manuscripts."



Benjamin Franklin

"One of the most influential figures in the American Revolution was the writer, philosopher and scientist Benjamin Franklin.  He was a Quaker but had become a Freemason in 1731 when he joined the Lodge of St. John in Philadelphia, which was the first recognized Masonic lodge in America.  At the time he was inducted Franklin was working as a journalist and he wrote several pro-Masonic articles which were published in The Pennsylvania Gazette.  In 1732 he helped draft the by laws of his lodge and in 1734 he printed the Constitutions which was the first Masonic book ever issued in America.  He eventually rose to Grand Master of the St. John's lodge and in 1749 was elected Grand Master of the Province.  While in France in the 1770s, as a diplomat for the American colonies, Franklin was made Grand Master of the Nine Sisters Lodge in Paris.  Members of the Lodge included Danton, who was to play a crucial role in the French Revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette and Paul Jones, both of whom fought in the American War of Independence.  While in Paris Franklin used his Masonic contacts to raise funds to buy arms for the American rebels."

Michael Howard, The Occult Conspiracy - Secret Societies - Their Influence and Power in World History


Franklin's Magic Circle Configuration ( Ask Matrix Traveller about THIS one )

Franklin, was also a Rosicrucian Grand Master, who was at the heart of the Illuminati operations to take over America and replace the visible control of the British Empire with the invisible control of the secret brotherhood, the most effective and ongoing form of mastering the underclass.  It is said the Illuminati, via the Freemasons, controlled and manipulated both sides in the American War of Independence and were also deeply connected with the French Revolution (1789).



Franklin was Agent 72 of the British intelligence agency created by Dr. John Dee and Francis Bacon during the rein of Elizabeth I.  During their time in London, Franklin and the Professor were brought into contact with those in positions of power who shared their Masonic and occult interests.  One of these was Sir Francis Dashwood, the English Chancellor of the Exchequer who was also the founder of a secret society called the Friars of St. Francis of Wycombe, more popularly known in the parlors of London as the Hell Fire Club.

Franklin and LeMarchand spent a summer at Dashwood's estate in West Wycombe, north of London, where they took part in rituals in the specially-created caves dug on Dashwood's orders.

Dashwood and Franklin, both postmasters, together were able to control and disseminate intelligence better than the military.  Postmaster at this point in history meant spymaster as the postmasters controlled the movement of information.



"Did this day Heliograph intelligence from Doctor Franklin in Paris to Wycombe."  ~ John Norris, Agent of Dashwood in a letter dated June 3 1778.


Craven Street Map, 1747.

In 1998, during an excavation under Franklin's former home at 36 Craven Street near Trafalgar Square in London, the remains of ten bodies (six of them children) were discovered.  It has been proposed that Franklin and his house mate may have been acquiring bodies for medical research and not for occult purposes.  In either case, no trace of LeMarchand's "most colorful creation" was ever found among Franklin's estate.

THE MYSTERIOUS ROSICRUCIAN WHO WAS
THE FATHER OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC


Comte de Saint Germain, a.k.a. "The Professor"

Chapter Eleven from:
Great Secret: Count St. Germain
by Raymond BernardThroughout his life, Francis Bacon's fondest hope was the, creation of a Utopia across the Atlantic, the realization of his "New Atlantis" in the form of a society of free men, governed by sages and scientists, in which his Freemasonic and Rosicrucian principles would govern the social, political and economic life of the new nation. It was for this reason why, as Lord Chancellor, he took such an active interest in the colonization of America, and why he sent his son to Virginia as one of the early colonists. For it was in America, through the pen of Thomas Paine and the writings of Thomas Jefferson, as well as through the revolutionary activities of his many Rosicrucian-Freemasonic followers, most prominent among whom were George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, that he hoped to create a new nation dedicated to his political philosophy.
In his Secret Destiny of America, Manly Hall, Bacon's most understanding modern scholar, refers to the appearance in America, prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, of a mysterious Rosicrucian philosopher, a strict vegetarian who ate only foods that grew above the ground, who was a friend and teacher of Franklin and Washington and who seemed to have played an important role in the founding of the new republic. Why most historians failed to mention him is a puzzle, for that he existed is a certainty.

He was known as the "Professor." Together with Franklin and Washington, he was a member of the committee selected by the Continental Congress in 1775 to create a design for the American Flag. The design he made was accepted by the committee and given to Betsy Ross to execute into the first model.

A year later, on July 4, 1776, this mysterious stranger, whose name nobody knew, suddenly appeared in Independence Hall and delivered a stirring address to the fearful men there gathered, who were wondering whether they should risk their lives as traitors by affixing their names to the memorable document which Thomas Jefferson wrote and of whose ideals Francis Bacon, founder of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, was the true originator.



The flag unfurled at Cambridge, Mass. in 1775, which the Professor designed, symbolized the union of the colonies; it was called the Grand Union Flag, and its design was as follows: In the blue field of the upperleft-hand corner was the white diagonal cross of St. Andrews. Imposed on this was the Red Cross, which was given the name of St. George. The thirteen stripes, seven of red and six of white, alternating in the flag, represented the thirteen colonies.
The flag was used for some time, but owing to its similarity with the British flag, which supposedly symbolized the unity of England and Scotland, considerable controversy arose over it. In order to overcome this objection, in 1776 it was decided to design another flag which would follow the spirit of the original design; and the inverted triangle over the upright triangle, generally known as the St. Andrew's Cross, a Masonic symbol of Kabbalistic origin and denoting that the originator of the flag was a Freemason and Rosicrucian, was preserved by using a six-pointed star, placed in irregular fashion on a blue back-ground in the form of a new constellation.

When General Johnson and Doctor Franklin visited Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, otherwise known as Betsy Ross, to get her cooperation in making the flag, the five-pointed star appealed to her as being more beautiful than the six-pointed star of the Professor's original design which the committee accepted. Hence, out of deference to her sense of beauty, the five-pointed stars were used instead, and thirteen of them were placed in a circle on a blue field with the standard seven red and six white stripes completing the flag.



This sample flag was made just before the Declaration of Independence, although the resolution endorsing it was not passed by the Continental Congress until July 14, 1777.
A second time did this mysterious stranger, the "Professor," whose name and origin was unknown, pay a vital role in American history. This time it was at the signing of the Declaration' of Independence. It was on June 7, 1776, that Richard Henry Lee, a delegate from Virginia, offered in Congress the first resolution declaring that the United Colonies were, and of right ought. to be, free and independent states. Soon after Mr. Lee introduced his resolution, he was taken sick and returned to his home in Virginia, whereupon on June 11th, 1776, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were appointed as a committee to prepare a formal Declaration of Independence.

On the first of July, 1776, the committee made its report to Congress. On the second of July, Lee's resolution was adopted in its original words. During the third of July, the formal Declaration of Independence was reported by the committee and debated with great enthusiasm. The discussion was resumed on the fourth, Jefferson having been elected as chairman of the committee.

On July 4th, there was great suspense throughout the nation. Many were adverse to severing the ties with the mother country; and many feared the vengeance of the king and his armies. Many battles had been fought already, but no decisive victory had been won by the rebel colonists. Each man in the Continental Congress realized as Patrick Henry did that it was either Liberty or Death. A rash move could mean death. After all, they were not free but subjects of a king who considered them as rebels and could punish them accordingly. They could be convicted for treason and put to death.

Just what connection did the mysterious stranger who designed the American flag and encouraged the signing of the Declaration of Independence have to Francis Bacon or Count Saint-Germain? Writing on this subject, Manly Hall says:

"Many times the question has been asked, Was Francis Bacon's vision of the "New Atlantis" a prophetic dream of the great civilization which was so soon to rise upon the soil of the New World? It cannot be doubted that the secret societies of. Europe conspired to establish upon the American continent 'a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.' Two incidents in the early history of the United States evidence the influence of that secret body, which has so long guided the destinies of peoples and religions. By them nations are created as vehicles for the promulgation of ideals, and while nations are true to these ideals they survive; when they vary from them, they vanish like the Atlantis of old which had ceased to 'know the gods.'"
In his admirable little treatise, "Our Flag," Robert Allen Campbell revives the details of an obscure, but most important, episode of American history—the designing of the Colonial flag of 1775. The account involves a mysterious man concerning whom no information is available other than that he was on familiar terms with both General Washington and Dr. Benjamin Franklin. The following description of him is taken from Campbell's treatise:
"Little seems to have been known concerning this old gentleman; and in the materials from which this account is compiled, his name is not even once mentioned, for he is uniformly spoken of or referred to as 'the Professor.' He was evidently far beyond his threescore and ten years; and he often referred to historical events of more than a century previous just as if he had been a living witness to their occurrence; still he was erect, vigorous and active—hale, hearty and clear-minded, as strong and energetic every way as in the prime of life. He was tall, of fine figure, perfectly easy, very dignified in his manners, being at once courteous, gracious and commanding. He was, for those times, and considering the customs of the Colonists, very peculiar in his method of living; for he ate no flesh, fowl or fish; he never used for food any 'green thing', any roots or anything unripe; he drank no liquor, wine or ale; but confined his diet to cereals and their products, fruits that were ripened on the stem in the sun, nuts, mild tea and the sweet of honey, sugar and molasses. [ Editor's note: The Comte de Saint Germain's same abstemious behavior regarding food was well documented in Europe.]
"He was well educated, highly cultivated, of extensive as well as varied information, and very studious. He spent considerable of his time in the patient and persistent scanning of a number of very rare old books and ancient manuscripts which he seemed to be deciphering, translating or rewriting. These books, and manuscripts, together with his own writings, he never showed to anyone; and he did not even mention them in his conversations with the family, except in the most casual way; and he always locked them up carefully in a large, old-fashioned, cubically shaped, iron-bound, heavy oaken chest, whenever he left his room, even for his meals. He took long and frequent walks alone, sat on the brows of the neighboring hills, or mused in the midst of the green and flower-gemmed meadows. He was fairly liberal—but in no way lavish—in spending his money, with which he was well supplied. He was a quiet, though a very genial and very interesting member of the family; and he was seemingly at home upon any and every topic coming up in conversation. He was, in short, one whom everyone would notice and respect, whom few would feel well acquainted with, and whom no one would presume to question concerning himself—as to whence he came, why he tarried or whither he journeyed."

"By something more than a mere coincidence, the committee appointed by the Colonial Congress to design a flag accepted an invitation to be guests, while at Cambridge, of the family with which the Professor was staying. It was here that General Washington joined them for the purpose of deciding upon a fitting emblem. By the signs that passed between them, it was evident that General Washington and Doctor Franklin recognized the Professor, and by unanimous approval, he was invited to become an active member of the committee. During the proceedings which followed, the Professor was treated with the most profound respect and all his suggestions immediately acted upon. He submitted a pattern which he considered symbolically appropriate for the new flag, and this was unhesitatingly accepted by the six other members of the committee, who voted that the arrangement suggested by the Professor be forthwith adopted. After the episode of the flag, the Professor quickly vanished; and nothing further is known concerning him.



"Did General Washington and Doctor Franklin recognize the Professor as an emissary of the Mystery School which has so long controlled the political destinies of this planet? Benjamin Franklin was a philosopher and a Freemason—possibly a Rosicrucian initiate. He and the Marquis de Lafayette—also a man of mystery—constitute two of the important links in the chain of circumstance that culminated in the establishment of the original thirteen American colonies as a free and independent nation. Dr. Franklin's philosophic attainments are well attested in Poor Richard's Almanac, published by him for many years under the name of Richard Saunders. His interest in the cause of Freemasonry is also shown in his publication of Anderson's Constitutions of 'Freemasonry.
"It was during the, evening of July 4, 1776, that the second of these mysterious episodes occurred. In the old State House in Philadelphia, a group of men were gathered for the momentous task of severing the tie between the old country and the new. It was a grave moment, and not a few of those present feared that their lives would be the forfeit for their audacity. In the midst of the debate a fierce voice rang out. The debaters stopped and turned to look upon the stranger. Who was this man who had suddenly appeared in their midst and had transfixed them with his oratory? They had never seen him before, none knew when he had entered; but his tall form and pale face filled them with awe. His voice ringing with a holy zeal, the stranger stirred them to their very souls. His closing words rang. through the building, 'God has given America to be free!' As the stranger sank into a chair exhausted, a wild enthusiasm burst forth. Name after name was placed upon the parchment: the Declaration of Independence was signed. But where was the man who had precipitated the accomplishment of this immortal task—who had lifted for a moment the veil from the eyes of the assemblage and revealed to them a part at least of the great purpose for which the, new nation was conceived? He had disappeared, nor was he ever seen or his identity established. This episode parallels others of a similar kind recorded by ancient historians attendant upon the founding of every new nation. Are they coincidence, or do they indicate that the divine wisdom of the ancient mysteries still is present in the world, serving mankind as it did of old?"

Signing the Declaration of Independence

The Speech of the Unknown

From the Editor of Reverse Spins: The following is taken from Washington and His Generals: or, Legends of the Revolution by George Lippard, published in 1847. The signers of the Declaration of Independence sat in Independence Hall at Philadelphia, contemplating losing their heads or being hanged. Their courage wavered. The document sat there unsigned. An extraordinary catalyst was needed to move them to action. An unknown man rose and gave an electrifying speech. He disappeared soon after.



By signing the Declaration, all were guilty of high treason under British law. The penalty for high treason was to be hanged by the neck until unconscious, then cut down and revived, then disemboweled and cut into quarters. The head and quarters were at the disposal of the crown.

No wonder they wavered! No wonder they discussed back and forth for days on end before signing the document that carried so grave a penalty. An old legend dramatizes the story of the one who galvanized the delegates and gave them the courage to sign that document.

But still there is doubt–and that pale-faced man, shrinking in one corner, squeaks out something about axes, scaffolds, and a–gibbet!

"Gibbet!" echoes a fierce, bold voice, that startles men from their seats–and look yonder! A tall slender man rises, dressed–although it is summer time–in a dark robe. Look how his white hand undulates as it is stretched slowly out, how that dark eye burns, while his words ring through the hall. (We do not know his name, let us therefore call his appeal)


THE SPEECH OF THE UNKNOWN.


"Gibbet? They may stretch our necks on all the gibbets in the land–they may turn every rock into a scaffold–every tree into a gallows, every home into a grave, and yet the words on that Parchment can never die!


"They may pour our blood on a thousand scaffolds, and yet from every drop that dyes the axe, or drips on the sawdust of the block, a new martyr to Freedom will spring into birth!


"The British King may blot out the Stars of God from His sky, but he cannot blot out His words written on the Parchment there! The works of God may perish–His Word, never!


"These words will go forth to the world when our bones are dust. To the slave in the mines they will speak–hope–to the mechanic in his workshop–freedom–to the coward-kings these words will speak, but not in tones of flattery. No, no! They will speak like the flaming syllables on Belshazzar's wall–


THE DAYS OF YOUR PRIDE AND GLORY ARE NUMBERED!


THE DAYS OF JUDGMENT AND REVOLUTION DRAW NEAR!


"Yes, that Parchment will speak to the Kings in a language sad and terrible as the trump of the Archangel. You have trampled on mankind long enough. At last the voice of human woe has pierced the ear of God, and called His Judgment down! You have waded on to thrones over seas of blood–you have trampled on to power over the necks of millions–you have turned the poor man's sweat and blood into robes for your delicate forms, into crowns for your anointed brows. Now Kings–now purpled Hangmen of the world–for you come the days of axes and gibbets and scaffolds–for you the wrath of man–for you the lightnings of God!–

"Look! How the light of your palaces on fire flashes up into the midnight sky!

"Now Purpled Hangmen of the world–turn and beg for mercy!

"Where will you find it?

"Not from God, for you have blasphemed His laws!

"Not from the People, for you stand baptized in their blood!

"Here you turn, and lo! a gibbet!

"There–and a scaffold looks you in the face.

"All around you–death–and nowhere pity!

"Now executioners of the human race, kneel down, yes, kneel down upon the sawdust of the scaffold–lay your perfumed heads upon the block–bless the axe as it falls–the axe that you sharpened for the poor man's neck!

"Such is the message of that Declaration to Man, to the Kings of the world! And shall we falter now? And shall we start back appalled when our feet press the very threshold of Freedom? Do I see quailing faces around me, when our wives have been butchered–when the hearthstones of our land are red with the blood of little children?

"What are these shrinking hearts and faltering voices here, when the very Dead of our battlefields arise, and call upon us to sign that Parchment, or be accursed forever?

"Sign! if the next moment the gibbet's rope is round your neck! Sign! if the next moment this hall rings with the echo of the falling axe! Sign! By all your hopes in life or death, as husbands–as fathers–as men–sign your names to the Parchment or be accursed forever!

"Sign–and not only for yourselves, but for all ages. For that Parchment will be the Text-book of Freedom–the Bible of the Rights of Man forever!

"Sign–for that declaration will go forth to American hearts forever, and speak to those hearts like the voice of God! And its work will not be done, until throughout this wide Continent not a single inch of ground owns the sway of a British King!

"Nay, do not start and whisper with surprise! It is a truth, your own hearts witness it, God proclaims it.–This Continent is the property of a free people, and their property alone. [17-second applause] God, I say, proclaims it!

"Look at this strange history of a band of exiles and outcasts, suddenly transformed into a people–look at this wonderful Exodus of the oppressed of the Old World into the New, where they came, weak in arms but mighty in Godlike faith–nay, look at this history of your Bunker Hill–your Lexington–where a band of plain farmers mocked and trampled down the panoply of British arms, and then tell me, if you can, that God has not given America to the free?

[12-second applause]

"It is not given to our poor human intellect to climb the skies, to pierce the councils of the Almighty One. But methinks I stand among the awful clouds which veil the brightness of Jehovah's throne. Methinks I see the Recording Angel–pale as an angel is pale, weeping as an angel can weep–come trembling up to that Throne, and speak his dread message–

"`Father! the old world is baptized in blood! Father, it is drenched with the blood of millions, butchered in war, in persecution, in slow and grinding oppression! Father–look, with one glance of Thine Eternal eye, look over Europe, Asia, Africa, and behold evermore, that terrible sight, man trodden down beneath the oppressor's feet–nations lost in blood–Murder and Superstition walking hand in hand over the graves of their victims, and not a single voice to whisper, "Hope to Man!"'

"He stands there, the Angel, his hands trembling with the black record of human guilt. But hark! The voice of Jehovah speaks out from the awful cloud–`Let there be light again. Let there be a New World. Tell my people–the poor–the trodden down millions, to go out from the Old World. Tell them to go out from wrong, oppression and blood–tell them to go out from this Old World–to build my altar in the New!'

[11-second applause]

"As God lives, my friends, I believe that to be his voice! Yes, were my soul trembling on the wing for Eternity, were this hand freezing in death, were this voice choking with the last struggle, I would still, with the last impulse of that soul, with the last wave of that hand, with the last gasp of that voice, implore you to remember this truth–God has given America to the free!

[13-second applause]

"Yes, as I sank down into the gloomy shadows of the grave, with my last gasp, I would beg you to sign that Parchment, in the name of the God, who made the Saviour who redeemed you–in the name of the millions whose very breath is now hushed in intense expectation, as they look up to you for the awful words–`You are free!'"

[9-second applause]

O many years have gone since that hour–the Speaker, his brethren, all, have crumbled into dust, but it would require an angel's pen to picture the magic of that Speaker's look, the deep, terrible emphasis of his voice, the prophet-like beckoning of his hand, the magnetic flame which shooting from his eyes, soon fired every heart throughout the hall!

The work was done. A wild murmur thrills through the hall.–Sign? Hah? There is no doubt now. Look! How they rush forward–stout-hearted John Hancock has scarcely time to sign his bold name, before the pen is grasped by another–another and another! Look how the names blaze on the Parchment–Adams and Lee and Jefferson and Carroll, and now, Roger Sherman the Shoemaker.

And here comes good old Stephen Hopkins–yes, trembling with palsy, he totters forward–quivering from head to foot, with his shaking hands he seizes the pen, he scratches his patriot-name.

Then comes Benjamin Franklin the Printer....


The Original Declaration of Independence

And now the Parchment is signed; and now let word go forth to the People in the streets–to the homes of America–to the camp of Mister Washington, and the Palace of George the Idiot-King–let word go out to all the earth–

And, old man in the steeple, now bare your arm, and grasp the Iron Tongue, and let the bell speak out the great truth:

FIFTY-SIX TRADERS, LAWYERS, FARMERS AND MECHANICS HAVE THIS DAY SHOOK THE SCHACKLES OF THE WORLD!

[13-second applause]

Hark! Hark to the toll of that Bell!

Is there not a deep poetry in that sound, a poetry more sublime than Shakespeare or Milton?

Is there not a music in the sound, that reminds you of those awful tones which broke from angel-lips, when news of the child Jesus burst on the shepherds of Bethlehem?

For that Bell now speaks out to the world, that–

GOD HAS GIVEN THE AMERICAN CONTINENT TO THE FREE–THE TOILING MILLIONS OF THE HUMAN RACE–AS THE LAST ALTAR OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN ON THE GLOBE–THE HOME OF THE OPPRESSED, FOREVERMORE! <3>

[10-second applause]

Are we not bought with a price?

This reading is taken from the book Washington and His Generals: or, Legends of the Revolution by George Lippard, published in 1847.

The Mysterious Rosicrucian Who was the Father of the American Republic The story behind the Speech of the Unknown.

Editor: In esoteric circles, many believe that the unknown man was Saint Germain. Only a master of his attainment could have charged the atmosphere of the room with such fire that all fear melted away. He had assembled many of his most stalwart friends (e.g. Ben Franklin) from over the centuries to embody at that point in time and space to help create a country dedicated to freedom, the most important freedom being that of religion. His greatest ally in that cause was none other than George Washington. The father of our country was not in the room of course. He was not a delegate. Go to The Mystical George Washington below, to learn of his extraordinary connection to God and the secret destiny of America.

Comte de Saint Germain: Rosicrucian, Ascended Master, or Immortal?
http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2013/11/comte-de-saint-germain-rosicrucian-ascended-master-or-immortal/

He has been featured on many TV shows and movies like Warehouse 13. etc. He may even be the model for Doctor Who



Francis Bacon and the Secret of the Rosicrucian Rose
http://www.sirbacon.org/mcompeer2.htm

Sir Francis Bacon
A number of writers, some of whom were connected with Theosophy, have claimed that Francis Bacon (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626), the English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist and author, was a member of secret societies; a smaller number claim that he would have attained the Ascension and became the Ascended Master Saint Germain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occult_theories_about_Francis_Bacon

Francis Bacon was among those who made the greatest contributions to the continuation of the inner wisdom. He is considered by many to be the father of modern science because of his advocacy of empiricism, or experimental confirmation.

A famous Rosicrucian, he is considered by many to be the secret author of the works of William Shakespeare. Many indicators suggest this possibility. It is an idea worth considering since the works attributed to Shakespeare contain cryptograms that suggest Bacon as the author.

The original engraving of this portrait is kept at the Sovereign Headquarters of the Rose Cross Order. When it is superimposed over a portrait of William Shakespeare surprising coincidental similarities are observed that encourage speculation on the validity of this idea.

Count de St Germain Vampire Romania connection

His birth and background are obscure, but towards the end of his life he claimed that he was a son of Prince Francis II Rákóczi of Transylvania. His name has occasionally caused him to be confused with Claude Louis, Comte de Saint-Germain, a noted French general, and Robert-François Quesnay de Saint Germain, an active occultist.

Laurence Gardner



Rosicrucian and promoter of Powdered White Gold
(17 May 1943 – 12 August 2010) was a writer and lecturer in the "alternative history" genre of research.

Laurence Gardner's first book Bloodline of the Holy Grail was published in 1996. The book was serialized in the Daily Mail and a best seller. He used his books to propose several theories, including a belief that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had married and had children, whose descendants included King Arthur and the House of Stuart. In Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark he claimed that the Ark of the Covenant was a machine for manufacturing "monatomic gold" – a supposed elixir which could be used to extend life. His books also included theories about Freemasonry, the Knights Templar, The Holy Grail and proposed connections between Atenism and Judaism.

Gardner referred to himself as "Chevalier Labhran de Saint Germain", and "Presidential Attache to the European Council of Princes" (the existence of which cannot be verified) also "Prior of the Celtic Churches Sacred Kindred of Saint Columbia". He also claimed to be Jacobite Historiographer Royal of the Royal House of Stewart. He was a supporter of Michael Lafosse, in particular his claims to be descended from the House of Stuart, which Gardner claimed was descended from Jesus Christ.

An image search for Count St Germain brings up some interesting stuff...

Like this one from the  Violet Flame



There is even a connection to Ashtar Command   Here he looks like a very young Francis Bacon



The Violet Flame is a Divine gift and tool for everyone, given to us by Ascended Master Saint Germain. It is a sacred fire that exists on the Higher Dimensions. People with the gift of interdimensional sight have seen it. Cameras have captured it when it was not visible to the person taking the photo. The Violet Flame is REAL and I invite you to use it to your great advantage.

The Violet Flame is Spiritual Alchemy in action. Just as Alchemy is said to turn Lead into Gold, the ultimate purpose of the Violet Flame is to turn the Human into the Divine Human. Its action is to TRANSMUTE denser feelings, actions, deeds, karma, etc. into a higher vibrational frequency, which helps prepare us for our Ascension. Ascension means becoming a Divine Human, also known as a Christed Being - a level of Consciousness obtainable by any person. You may use the Violet Flame in perfect harmony with any belief system, religion or practice. It is a neutral tool with absolutely no conditions attached to it.
