Christian religion but all religions and secret societies have inner circles 100 Years After Jesus came the gnostics who believed they had secret knowledge pertaining to life death and the universe gnostics gathered their ideas from multiple sources including platonism Plato was apprenticed under Socrates and in 387 bcee he started a
School of philosophers in Athens where he taught about the metaphysical nature of forms forms in matter like the platonic solids and forms in the shape of ideas and and virtues the highest form is the form of the good God from this original and all-encompassing form come all other
Forms Plato’s form of the good is a continuation of the Universal Soul taught by the earlier Greek philosopher Pythagoras who also studied in various secret societies platonism taught the dualistic idea that spirit is good and matter is bad this idea influenced the Catholic church and Islamic thought neoplatonism of the 3r century

Mysticism the Templars developed secret initiation rituals for their order the church used the rituals as an excuse to burn them at the stake the surviving Knights went into hiding until like a phoenix they Rose From the Ashes In 1408 the legendary Christian Rosen cruits of Germany founded the
Rosar crucian order this order used the same symbol as the Knights Templars a Red Cross or Rosie cross they also had secret initiation rituals and were Christian Mystics it is said that Christian traveled toward the holy land and ended up going to Turkey Arabia and Persia where he was taught the mysteries from
Zoroastrian and Sufi sages similarities exist between Rosen cruits and paracelsus who was a descendant of knights hospitallers paracelsus was born in 1493 he like Christian Rosen cruds traveled to learn philosophy and The Healing Arts he was an alchemist physician astronomer hermeticist and Prophet his teachings were studied by German rosac
Crucians like Plato Pythagoras and others paracelsus believed the universe to be one organism that is United by an all pervading spirit and that all things including humans are part of it this universe is what paracelsus called God paracelsus also discussed the doctrine of signatures which follows the

Control of amor but did not get it the Otto and Amor both have higher degrees called Illuminati degrees connecting them to the Bavarian secret society of Adam weap founded in 1776 Lewis was a 33rd degree Mason 9th degree in the Oto and imperator of amor all of the secret societies are
Connected like a web across time and space Amor also started the traditional martinist order in the US martinism has its Beginnings in the teachings of Emanuel swedenborg swedenborg was a Swedish Christian Mystic that had many many visitations with angels spirits and other worldly beings on April 6th 1744 he received the Revelation that

Traditional martinist order was started by Ralph Lewis in 1939 going back to the 1400s we saw the rebirth of the Templars in the rosac crucians at the same time we find stone masons who belong to guilds with secrets of the trade that are only transmitted by degrees from a master to an
Apprentice as discussed the Templars were the Builders of The Magnificent cathedrals of medieval Europe not only did secrets of the trade survive but allegorical teachings associated with the tools of a builder did as well an apprentice was sworn to secrecy by an oath evidence of these Oaths from 1425
Are called the old charges of operative Masons the secret teachings of operative masonry split off to speculative masonry in 1717 when the Grand Lodge of England was formed with its three degrees apprentice fellowcraft and Master Mason Masonic Legend goes back to the Builders of Solomon’s Temple but we also see Masonic tools
Like the compass and square in the story of Jesus and his the stepdad Joseph as stonemasons with the Chinese gods Nua and fui and in the religious hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt where the god Amon holds the symbolic emblems like Rosicrucianism masonry is an offsho of the Templars who sprang from Jewish
Christian and sufk mysticism which in turn came from Egyptian Mesopotamian indic and Greek priesthoods those priest STS sprang from shamanistic teachings and practices that we inherited from the gods aka the atlantian civilization soon after the formation of the Grand Lodge in England Masonic rights that Drew their members from third deegree Masons were
Formed such as the swedenborg W by Maris de Thorne in 1773 France and the right of high Egyptian masonry in 1738 the right of cagliostro in 1784 the right of misam in 1788 and the Illuminati by Adam weop in 1776 the Illuminati had plans to overthrow the French government through
Infiltration it is said that they were dismantled but many believe that they continue to infiltrate governments and Societies in order to bring about their new world order in 1801 the Scottish right was officially formed its 33 degrees are a collection of older degrees they were then Rewritten by Albert Pike in
1857 the York right and Scottish right both pick up where the story left off while the first three degrees deal with the building of Solomon’s Temple the Scottish and York right degrees continue with the destru ruction of the first temple and the rebuilding of the second temple these rights both have degrees
About the camp of Israel around the Tabernacle and about finding the lost word in the crypts beneath the temple and degrees about chivalric Templar knights the Scottish right also has Rose quad degrees thus the Scottish right hits on masonry Rosicrucianism templarism cabala and Judaism as well as Greek Egyptian Persian and Eastern
Philosophies Carl Kelner was an Austrian man that traveled extensively to study esotericism he studied Sufism Hindu Tantra theosophy Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry he learned about the secret teachings of Sex Magic from the Hermetic Brotherhood of light Tantra the rosac crucian pastel Randolph and others after being initiated in the high
Degrees of the right of Memphis misam Kelner decided to start his own Masonic right called the OT temply orientis in 1895 this right was to have the high degrees of masonry and admit both men and women in order to practice Sex Magic which Kelner found to be the key to all the
Mysteries he got his friend Theodore Russ to help organize the right at the time Russ was trying to revive the order of the Illuminati Russ took over the Oto after kellner’s death he then brought in alist Crowley who became the next Grandmaster of the order crley was told to revise some of
The degrees by the Scottish right because of the similarities with theirs he did and he added the ritual of the Gnostic Catholic mass as well as his thma philosophy which consists of following your will and desire sers Crowley’s successor as head of the order was Kelner germer from
Germany when Adolf Hitler came into power in the 1930s he read the oto’s book of the law but he later banned it along with many other books germer was then forced to work in Nazi concentration camps upon being released he went to California there gmer was met by an
Englishman named Gerald Gardner who later found founded the wiah religion in 1954 as a student of the occult Gardner joined the rosac crucian order cotona Fellowship members of that order introduced him to the New Forest coven there Gardner was initiated into wika witchcraft wanting to bring back the old
Religion Gardner took what he had learned from these pagans Freemasonry and Alistair Crowley’s writings on ceremonial magic and developed the rituals of wiah while Hitler banned societies like Freemasons and the Otto in Germany he was personally obsessed with the occult like the Catholic Church Hitler collected relics which he believed to have magic
Powers Hitler joined the German Workers Party which became the Nazi party the workers party was sponsored by the THU society and shared the same views about the superiority of the Germanic people or Aryan race th is the name of a legendary land to the north said to be
The capital of hyperboria land of the Gods Beyond The North Wind interestingly THU is the name of the Proto Inu people of Greenland the ult belief was that THU was a land at the North Pole where four main rivers divided the arctic ice in the shape of a
