The famous mystic George Gurdjieff was born in Alexandrapol in 1872. His father was Greek and his mother Armenian. For this reason, he was in direct contact with both the Greek and Armenian churches and the Russian Church. All of these churches were represented both in Alexandrapol, the city where he was born,
And in Kars, where he spent his early childhood years. Gurdjieff said that he was impressed not only in his childhood, but also later, by his relationships with Orthodox Church monks and Russian and Greek monks. Gurdjieff claimed that one of the first teachers and one of his friends belonged to the mysterious
Fraternity called the “Brotherhood of Essenes”. He said that the chief monastery of this brotherhood still existed near the Dead Sea. Another aspect of her being Armenian by her mother and the connections she found through this is the importance of secret societies among Armenians.
Thanks to the Armenian secret societies, Gurdjieff had the opportunity to visit many mysterious places in the Middle East. Gurjieff especially felt the mystery of Mosul and its environs. There is not only a connection with the dead past, but something that has never disappeared
And is still there, even if it is now on the verge of disappearing. Something still remained there in Gurdjieff’s time, and an unbroken tradition had existed for at least 3,000, perhaps 4,000 years. Those who study Gurdjieff’s writings can realize that he was linked to a sect or brotherhood
Called the “Ahl al-Haqq” (People of Truth) in a region stretching from northeast to northwest of Iran. This sect was founded by Sultan Sahak in 1316. The traditions of the order extended not only to Nestorian Christianity, but to the 4,000-year-old Qaeda and Zoroastrian traditions of the much older Babylonian heyday.
According to writer Adrian G. Gilbert, Gurdjieff believed that some peoples in ancient times were much more advanced than those living today. According to Bennett, a disciple and student of Gurdjieff, Gurdjieff spent most of his life between 1891 and 1907 in a temple run by an esoteric organization known as the “Sarmung
Or Sarman Brotherhood.” Many chapters of Gurdjieff’s book “Meetings with Remarkable Men” were devoted to this mysterious fraternal organization that Gurdjieff believed was founded in 2500 BC. This roughly corresponds to the period when the Egyptians built the “Great Pyramid”. According to Bennett’s belief, the followers of the same secret brotherhood also initiated
The Greek philosopher Pythagoras during his captivity in Babylon. Gurdjieff believed strongly in the Greek philosopher Pythagorasm myth of being “initiated into the Babylonian Magic”. As a matter of fact, the “Pythagoras School” served as a model for the academy he would later establish.
Gurdjieff founded an organization called “Truth Seekers” with his friends who shared the same views and thoughts as him. The results of the researches began to be collected in the knowledge pool of this organization. One of Gurdjiefif’s closest friends in this group was an Armenian named Pogosyan.
Gurdjieff and his friend Pogosyan came across an underground passage while excavating in the ruins of Ani (in today’s Turkey/Kars province) in the 1890s. When they pierced the wall at the end of the passage, they came across a small room. This could have been a monk’s cell.
Broken pots and pieces of used furniture were visible on the floor. They found old scrolls hidden in a niche in the wall in a corner of the room. The scrolls were probably from ancient times. Although some of the scrolls turned into dust as soon as they came into contact with the
Air, most were intact. The two friends carefully collected them and returned to Alexandrapol. Here they began work to decipher the documents. The documents were written in ancient Armenian and spoke of correspondence between two monks. This correspondence referred to the “Sarmung Brotherhood” that Gurdjieff had noticed earlier in an Armenian book called “Merkharvat”.
According to the correspondence, it was stated that the head monastery was located near “Nivssi”. Pogosyan and Gurdjieff revealed that Nivssi is the old name for “Mosul” in northern Iraq. This place was close to the old Nineveh ruins and at the time of writing this area was called “Nievi”.
It is not possible for me to describe all of Gurdjieff’s adventurous journeys here. There is an interesting point, which is; Gurdjieff went to Nisbise (present-day Nusaybin), one of the ruins of Ani, and found an ancient map of the Egyptian civilization showing the state of Egypt before it was buried in the sands.
In his book “The Masters of Wisdom” published in 1975, Bennett mentions that these masters still exist and that they have relations with Gurdjieff’s “Sarmung” or “Sarman” organization. The word Sarmung and Sarman may be related to ancient Persian. This word is found in ancient Pahlavi (present-day Iran) texts containing the Zoroastrian doctrine.
It was the word for “bee”. The “bee” was a symbol of traditional wisdom, collecting the precious honey and preserving it for future generations. The “bee” symbol also has an important place in Masonic symbolism. A collection of well-known legends in Syria and its environs in the 13th century was made
By Mar Salamon, a high priest of the Nestori sect, and the book was called “Bees”. This book spoke of a mysterious power attributed to Zoroaster that emerged at the time of Jesus. “Man” refers to a hereditary character in Persian. So it must be related to a particular family or race. “Sar” means “Head”.
That is, in the sense of chief or ‘chairman’. The word “Sarman”, on the other hand, meant that a tradition called “Perennial Philosophy” was passed down from generation to generation depending on initiation. “Another possible meaning of Sarman was “The Enlightened”. Sarman Brotherhood and Nemrut’s Secret.
In 1920 Gurdjieff came to the west and opened a school of mystery or esotericism in his name in France, the path of the school was the path of an ancient esoteric school, namely the Sarman Brotherhood. The basis of the Sarman Brotherhood was most likely what remained of the Christian Gnostic
School, which once flourished and spread in northern Mesopotamia but was later destroyed. The lost mystery school, located in the most distant past of the organization founded by Gurdjieff, was in Anatolia. Author Gilbert stumbled upon Gurdjieff after a hard search and mystery detective work.
The trace that emerged in Palestine was combined with the trace from France in Anatolia. And Gilbert was now sure of the outcome; He had found the leader and location of the lost Brotherhood school. —According to Gilbert, the founder of the organization was Antiochus I, King of Commagene, and its location was Mount Nemrut.
Mount Nemrut has always been the target of mysterious claims. The only thing certain is the lost tomb of the legendary King of Commagene, Antiochus I, where there are unknown and as yet unexplored tunnels in the mountain. In Gilbert’s view, King Antiochus I had a close relationship with the “Sarman Brotherhood”
Existing in his time, and the symbol of his small kingdom spanning the North Euphrates region was the Lion or the “Lion of Commagene.” Mystery was emphasized by using astrological and Hermetic symbols in the giant tomb monument located on Mount Nemrut.
Astrological symbols on the Lion relief in Nemrut are actually a horoscope, that is, a star chart. Gilbert thinks that with the two time periods indicated here, he refers to the dates of the King’s birth and initiation into the “Brotherhood of Sarman”.
This date is January 6, the date on which Jesus was baptized by the Prophet John, that is, the day of “Epiphanes” with its original name. Gilbert claims that in a part of the kingdom of King Antiochus that has not yet been found,
There was a tunnel with a slope of 35 degrees, a length of 155 meters and an unknown destination. Actually, this claim is true because archaeologists have been chasing this puzzle for a long time. It is known that there are tunnels stretching from Kahta to Mount Nemrut, but where they
Go has not been understood yet because no excavations have been made to that extent. Gilbert also calculates the date of birth of the King of Commagene; This is the date when the Sun meets the star Regulus in Leo, that is, June 29.
A. Gilbert is of the opinion that Turkey/Urfa (Formerly Edessa) is also a center for the “Wisdom of Orion” and states that there are proofs of this in the Old Testament, namely the Torah. In the early years of Christianity, Urfa was a very important educational center and holy relics are still seen there.
Gilbert states in his research that traces of the lost Brotherhood are also found in Urfa and reminds us of the Magical Story in the Gospel of Matthew. The birth of Christ, or “Christmas Day”, is not actually December 25, but actually symbolizes an ancient Pagan festival.
Mithras’ Birth Celebrations, the real “Christmas” is the 29th of July of the 7th year before Christ, that is, the Prophet Jesus was born seven years ago and the celestial position on that day is very special. The Sun enters the “Birth of the King” position every year on the same date.
It meets Regulus in Leo, also called “Little Leo” or “Lion Heart”. This is also just after the ascension period of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. In Egyptian Mythology, the star of Sirius is the special star of the Goddess Isis, the
Goddess is pregnant when she is not seen, when she rises, that is, when she starts to shine, her son Horus is born, which is symbolized by the meeting of the Sun Regulus. Early Christians used this mythological concept, the ascension of Sirius was the birth of Mary,
But this time it was not Horus born. Because the son of Mary was Jesus, the bright stars seen at the same time were also important, for example Orion was Osiris, the wife of Isis. The Christian cult gave Osiris the identity of Joseph, the wife of Mary.
The Procyon star, like Sirius, rises after Orion and is symbolized by Nephthys, brother of Isis. The zodiac (ie, the Zodiac) is often symbolized by animals. The signs of the Ox, or Bull, and Sheep, or Aries, are two animals found in the barn where
Jesus was born and fed, and the barn is in the town of Bethlehem. The meaning of the name of the town is “Place of Bread”. The town of Beuehem is located in the region of Judah, where the Leo Tribe of Israel lives,
And the symbol of this tribe is Regulus in the Leo constellation or constellation. As a result, in the esoteric sense, the Sun-Regulus meeting symbolizes the birth of Jesus in the barn. Gilbert, in his view that the meaning of the story of the birth of Jesus is different,
Thinks that Jesus’ birth horoscope, that is, the star chart, is meant to be told to us in this way, if the reading is done correctly, the exact time will be determined. Jesus was born a king like Horus, suitable gifts symbolize his birth.
In the Gospel of Matthew it is emphasized that gifts are seductive and can be used for egoic purposes. So the negative aspects of the three planets are emphasized, the negative aspects are the rejection of practical Magic (Mercury), the desire for immortality (Saturn) and the greed for kingship.
(Jupiter) Later events have similar meanings, the prophet John came from heaven when baptizing Jesus in the Jordan River. In the symbolism of a dove, Jesus is bestowed with the highest gift, meaning the affirmation of the highest kingdom on the planet. Now it has become the instrument of Logos, that is, Existence.
So the symbolism of Baptism and the meaning of the celebration of January 6 is the realization of the heavenly meeting, and moreover, the heavenly birth of Jesus. But this date will change, it will shift to December 25, and the Saturn festivities of ancient Rome will be mixed with the birth of Mithras.
What is understood from all this is the content of the Lost Brotherhood, the esoteric meaning of the mystery stretching from Horus to Jesus and then to King Antiochus I, and its symbolization at the level of Hermetic Wisdom with the astrological method.
But all the narratives and Gilbert’s claims still fail to explain the real mystery; Is the activity or significance of the stars and planets esoteric symbolism at the level of divinity? Or is it implied somewhere outside the world?
The secret seems to be hidden in Orion and Sirius; one day we will learn that too; when? Who knows, maybe when we solve the secret behind Mount Nemrut.
