Truth is the most powerful of all. No claim to it is made here, thoughtful and intuitive scrutiny is however encouraged.

The Geometry of the Flower of Life
It is found in the Osirian Temple in Egypt, perhaps the oldest of tombs discovered deep underground. Interestingly the geometric design is burned into the pillar by a technique which today we could not emulate, nor obviously could the ancient Egyptians. The flower is based on the vesica pescis, that symbol which most closely imitates the Diety in state of fractal holographic replication. And of course is used to also denote the Piscean Age, in which the Master Returned. Judging from the movie "Thrive" it is the essence of the future energy source, derived from Torus spin motors, some Tesla and some Haramein, yet to be designed. The "Thrive" movie looks to scapegoat the Rockefellers and other power brokers, which is unnecessary. Interesting that the focus is on fractals, as many times the crop circles demonstrate fractal designs. Organic fractals of course being those incorporating the golden mean, from the center out, while inorganic fractals can emulate the six circle matrix found in the flower of life, from any point conforming at the outer edge to the pattern. If it is so that the New Age is allowing to incarnate only Souls of positive polarity, then perhaps we will move from a system of organic like growth to one of inorganic growth, with less centralized power and free energy. Wouldn't that be a nice change for the exhausted Earth Mother. Wonderful that our ancient Brethren happened to build with square and compasses, those tools required to make the six petalled flower of Life.

The Magna Carta, The Marshall and the Master of the Temple
Watching the movie Ironclad the other night, I did alittle Wikipedia as the bodies were cloven. It would appear that one of the great knights of the era, William Marshall, whose tomb is in the London Temple, was present and an advisor to King John when he signed over rights to all freemen in the 1200's document. This document which initiated Hadeas Corpus, the right to be charged when held, was a great step away from the idea of King as Gods magistrate. The Master of the Temple was also present. So while these men were not on the side of the Lords and freemen, it is easy to think that this important charter, giving powerful rights to guildsmen may have contributed to the transition from Templars to Freemasons and to the rights of man. Marshall, who had fought in the Holy Land, was made a Templar on his deathbed. Does anyone have any comments further on the subject?

October 13th 1307 The end of the Templar era
Thanks to Philip of France and Pope Clement V for the betrayal of the Knights Templar which occurred today 704 years ago, bringing about the end of the age of the crusades. If it had been allowed to continue perhaps it would have evolved into a greater order with greater goals than the taking of Jerusalem and pushing back the Mohammedan armies. A world wide order with the aspiration of universal brotherhood may have been advanced. Oh wait, that happened anyway. It is however not to be denied that power does corrupt and there is much proof of power being held by the Cistercians and the Templars. I can imagine in a feudal society how it could have been wielded. We can look to the banks and finance, as one of the prime movers that came out of the order. And we can note that in the most recent financial market crash it was on Oct 13th that the Dow made its single greatest advance in history, breaking the descent and giving a prospect of reversal. Which did eventually come.

Percival and the Fisher King
To be one ask one......seek and you shall find.....knock and it will be opened unto you...and etc.
Percival sups upon the generous Kings delicacies and sleeps on feathered bed and is given the greatest hospitality in his misty mountain top castle outside of time and even the Grail is brought to his attention. But he was told never to ask questions so not to be ill mannered. And so the Fisher King must continue paralyzed. Had Percival simply asked about the Grail, the King would have been miraculously healed. Alas poor Percival awoke the next day alone and was given an unescorted departure. To ask...to knock...to seek....nothing is found if nothing is sought. It is the same in Freemasonry, you have to ask. The same with knowledge....you have to seek.

The Sword in the Stone and Saint Galgano
Check out link to title of this post. I was searching Cistercian abbeys of which there are many and came across the interesting story of Saint Galgano, who for reasons debated, appearently sank his blade into solid stone in Tuscany in the eleventh century. If I were to bet I would say it was not an admonition from his dreams which caused him to to do so but rather an anguished moment of faith when this man was considering abandoning the world and its glamour. The question arises though, can we believe in such an accomplishment in the physical world. Ra says that the Great Pyramid was made whole from Infinite Stone, Edgar Cayce says it was built by the same power which causes iron to swim. We know that in some tellings of Percival the first knight was Galvano, and of course the sword in the stone is part of King Arthurs tales. Many of us believe that the spiritual world is just beyond the physical law, but if this story were true, then the power to move mountain is within our capabilities just not our understanding.

N.E.A.R.A. article of the Newport Tower Origin
It does seem entirely possible that the Newport Tower with its astrological window alignments was a Templar/Cistercian emulation of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. What if the Templars did not only go to Scotland Orkney after being disbanded. What if they went to other islands, as at Malta, to Bornholm and to Gotland. We know Gotland was given to the order later on. Gotland has the largest fortification in Europe a great horde of Silver has been found there, arabic silver too. What if these islands were the real refuge for the disappearing Knights and their ships. The title page has a link to the whole article. Below is a snippet.
Frères Maçons - 12th Through 14th Century
The order of The Knights of the Temple of Solomon or Templars were, we are told, dedicated to protecting pilgrims traveling in the Holy Land. Their original charge to rebuild the Temple of Solomon in its entire physical and symbolic splendor loomed large on their agenda. To this end, they called each other ‘brother masons” (frères maçons), surviving in English as the Freemasons of today. The central role of the Templars in Jerusalem expanded, along with an increase in wealth, throughout Europe. Templar Commanderies dotted the countryside. Full of zeal, the returning knights imitated the round form of the church of the Holy Sepulchre in their own churches.
Conceived among the saints, and committed to monastic vows, the Templars’ fall from grace was swift and fatal, marked with the badge of the basest of sinners. As originally chartered in 1118, with its rule devised by Bernard of Clairvaux, this was to be a combination military-aesthetic order dedicated to selfless service to God. But service to God became extremely profitable and the Order flourished. By 1300 it had become a powerful force both politically and financially. As heirs to the Gnostic mysteries acquired from the Desert Fathers in the Holy Land, their rituals were shrouded in mystery. This suspicion was used to plot their overthrow, particularly in France where King Philip the Fair and Pope Clement IV were anxious to join forces in assuring their destruction and the confiscation of Templar wealth and property. The intrigue culminated on the fateful day of October 13, 1307, when Grand Master Jacques de Molay and 15,000 brother masons were snared by French storm troopers, turned over to the Pope’s resourceful inquisitors for inconceivable tortures and ultimate deaths. The Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, languished, cruelly tortured, for seven years until at last, proclaiming the innocence of his Order to any abominations and cursing Philip, he was slowly burned to death in March of 1314.
After October 14, the Order of the Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem ceased to exist, at least in France. In Spain, where the Pope was not favored over the wealthy knights, the Kings of Aragon and Castile found them innocent. In Portugal, they were reconstituted as the Knights of Christ. The Germans were indifferent to the Pope’s edict disbanding the Order. The English were busy with other enemies, and it was not until the Pope’s inquisitors arrived in 1313 that persecution began in earnest.
The remaining vestiges of Templar power simply disappeared the night before the assault. The eighteen ships of the Templar fleet anchored at the Atlantic port of la Rochelle were gone. Gone, too, was much of the Templar wealth.
Where did the survivors go? The most popular theory is that the fleeing knights sought refuge along the rugged coast of Scotland where Robert Bruce, in his increasingly bloody fight against English domination would have welcomed these warrior monks to his forces. The victory over the English at Bannockburn would have assured the refugees a secure haven for many years to come. Several investigators have wondered if, in conjunction with Scots renegades or Norse-rooted Orkney Islanders, some ships of the fleet found their way across the Atlantic to a western refuge.
One wonders if the "refugio" or "Norman Villa" noted on Verrazzano’s 1524 map, or the tiny tower shown at the mouth of today’s Narragansett Bay on Mercator’s 1569 map offer any clues. Even cartographer Marc Lescarbot shows a Latin cross (representing a Christian settlement or just a stop?) on the bottom left corner on his 1609 map focusing on the Saint Lawrence seaway where crosses abound on the map. To pursue our quest for a prototype for the Newport Tower, let us consider the building traditions of the frères maçons.
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Jerusalem
Not far from the never- fulfilled dream of a rebuilt Temple of Solomon, the best known Templar construct in the Holy Land is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Built by Constantine in the 4th century over the reputed tomb of Jesus, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was variously damaged and defaced by Persians and Muslims before it was rebuilt by the Crusaders in the Twelfth century. Far more grandiose than its numerous offspring, the rotunda is surrounded by an arcade supported by twelve round columns and six square pillars which in turn support a gallery repeating the same columns and pillar configuration supporting a dome but which was originally open to the sky. Its form became the model of round churches throughout Europe. Charlemagne echoed it in his chapel Aix la Chapelle in Achen Germany. The Templars followed the model wherever possible, as have penitents of all nations who copied it in memory of their Savior. The common bond in all of these sacred buildings is their roundness.

Severe Weather, the Collective Consciousness, and Prophecies of Doom
It was interesting to hear one of the weather channels commentators mention that because there is so much more heat energy to be dispersed in the atmosphere now, by the jet stream, that it is logical that the weather is more severe. We will remember those devastated by tornados and floods in the heartland of the country. Earth changes, social collectives, and psychic weather,
Jane Roberts Seth in the Nature of the Psyche holds that our collective passions have an effect on the weather. I wonder if in times of war the weather becomes harsher. Carla Reuckerts Ra maintains that the discord on the surface of the earth, causes the subterranean forces in the earth to reflect that discord. Group prayer and meditation would in that theory cause planetary healing. In the law of doubling, this loving group joint effort produces exponential power. Ten minds dedicated to the same goal would have the power of just over 1000. The oft predicted coming polar wander or shift toward the new age energy is said to be aligning magnetic north at 20 degrees east of north, supposing that the change could occur gradually or radically, one wonders whether the melting of polar ice, equal to the area of six Californias in the last 30 years, means that the flood and age of Aquarius could point to a real deluge. Geology suggests that magnetic north has changed, evidenced by the alignment of rocks/crystals according to magnetic forces. Though this is much disputed.
Ra reminds the seeker on several occasions not to be overly concerned with thoughts of coming earth changes. Opportunities arise from catalyst, just as a teacher is of no use without a learner, someone who helps others is of no use without one being in need. To be overly concerned with doom is considered to cause fear, and fear is something that feeds the negative force. Ra says to go forth joyfully in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator, our safety is never in doubt. The freewill of each person is the issue, what is our intention? What principle do we serve, that is the cable tow which binds the soul. Many well intentioned warners have had their messages confused by prophecies of doom.

The Sacred Book of Law
As a practical matter of lodge work, it is typical to have the Holy Bible upon the altar, open to the proper page for the degree. It is explained to the candidate that the Bible is A Sacred Volume of Law, and that other sacred books are acceptable. On the altar at the Scottish Rite building in Washington are actual copies of at least 5 other sacred texts. I recently happily explained to a potential candidate that he is welcome to have the Bhagavad Gita upon the altar during his degrees as well as the Bible. It is, in my opinion, one of the great examples of the idea of a universal brotherhood of mankind.

The Collective Consciousness Revolution and Facebook
The people of the world need only one thing to throw out unfair government, well 2 things. They need a way to communicate i.e. Facebook, Utube, Twitter( however that works) and etc. and then they need to be so pissed off that they are willing to die for the cause of liberty. So we better get ready for a world wide revolution against tyranny, take the CIA planners to a room somewhere and get them ready to help states that need a stabilized new democratic government set up in a hurry.

The Builders and 9/11
This is the Longfellow poem read by Vice President Joseph Biden at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony in New York today.
The Builders
All are architects of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, where Gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire, and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb.
Build to-day, then, strong and sure,
With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall to-morrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets, where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain,
And one boundless reach of sky.

AC/DC service
This blogsite refers to this reality as polarized, positive and negative, service to others or service to self. This is the nature of the individuals choice, with all the degrees in between the poles of ultimate selfishness and ultimate selflessness. The equivalent law in the material world are the different types of electricity conduction. Direct or DC current is exemplified metaphysically by a service which is unidirectional, one giver and one taker. AC or alternating current, spiritually it is reciprocal, where neither pole gives or takes exclusively, but alternates in service sometimes receiving sometimes giving. In the physical world, AC power is much easier to use in order to span the vast distances in transmission. I'll bet its the same spiritually, across the ethereal heavens.

As A Man Thinketh
Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority the bark of thought is allowed to "drift" upon the ocean of life. Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catstrophe and destruction. This a bit from the little gem of a book by James Allen. Our fraternity is full of men with definite purpose who work toward a goal for our common humanity. Perhaps this common purpose is one reason we persist.

Live Free or Die
This is not the cry we hear in Afghanistan, this is the call we hear in Iran. Our military commanders have taken the unusual step of making their assessments public. Maybe some should be removed, as Bro. Truman did for Bro. MacArthur. If we get out of there, the opium will flow into Russia even more, and they will then have skin in the game. The vote was a fraudulent expoit, so Karzai is no friend to us. The blood and treasure being sacrificed to a tribal land will eventually end short of goals, as the low tech. drug trade will be protected.

Yahweh and Armageddon
One of the confounding historical explanations of Ra, relates to the saga of the Jewish peoples. In brief it suggests that Confederation entity Yahweh, meaning "he comes" had established genetic superiority in that people through cloning. Orion entities then influenced these peoples over time, to establish the concept of elitism, which is highly negative. Yahweh then 3,300 years ago began to send positively oriented material, and thereby joined against forces of darkness in the battle of Armageddon. While this material does exceed the threshold for some, however one must consider that at the time of Revelations writing, visions were considered credible. One must consider that all things measurable are transient and things spiritual are not empirical. And of course this bit of story has no origin in nor is lent authority from freemasonry. If one accepts the possibility of unseen forces serving the polar opposites, this then is a fine example of how over time, a primary method of influencing men is through unconscious communication, which does not abrogate the law of freewill.

The Boss
The preparation of candidates in the anteroom is a time for introspection, the Sarcophagus. In the Great Pyramid, the antechamber is mostly Granite, symbolizing its spiritual nature, similar to the Kings Chamber, with its geometry of infinite time/space, all of phi. The entire rest of The Great Pyramid is of limestone. The only possible design which embodies both Pi and the golden section. With its outer angle set at 51 degrees ascending passage 26. The antechamber is the access to the portal of the Kings Chamber, and access is not automatic there, shown by the symbolic triple veil portcullis. It protrudes into the Grand Gallery, that ascension of mankind, with the Great Step, that date may be the commencement of the Kosmon era, dated by OAHSPE at 1848. The Pyramid Decoded by Lemesurier is the most comprehensive look at the numerologic study of the Pyramid, tho not the first i.e. Smyth. Edgar Cayce validated many times the timeline of the inner compartments. The sacred geometry of the kings chamber is beyond belief, check out The Geometry of Art and Life by Ghyka and the triple test of the antechamber suggests that successfully reaching harvest, or graduation from this plane of existence, is no easy passage. That they all may be as one, that long held dream for the children of the earth. Then again, the limestone coming down from above at the back of the antechamber may suggest an elevator like quality, that qualifying for spiritual entrance to the timeless Chamber is almost unattainable when considering the multitudes of souls who have led lives here. The suggested portcullis 3 and the granite leaf with the single ornament of the edifice, the Boss. That high demand for a chance to incarnate into a planet near harvest, as our supposedly is, some say, it speaks of the great potential for consciousness raising at this moment. What to do? of course redouble your efforts, toward the service of your choice, to others or to self. Remember in the Nag Hammadi, JHShVH even noted how difficult it was for Him to maintain His own grade of purity. the Infinite Intelligence, clicking through the probabilities. Separation is illusion and the device of that which is not.

The Gothic Ahura Mazda
The six qualities of Ahura Mazda found in the Gathas (wonder if thats the source of Gothic) of the Zarathustrains are sublime mind( wisdom), sublime righteousness (universal justice), Khshatra (holy good) , Universal love (tranquility and benevolence), Perfection (benevolent creativity), Immortality (no beginning, no end). In The Light from Down In A Hole, STP and The Physical Graffiti this sunny beautiful morning. Bron-Yr-Aur Brothers.

1.618 the golden mean, by square and by compasses
The Pythagorians in Sicily used the pentagram as a mode of recognition, and the proportion of the golden section is inherent in it. Its use is the foundation canon for much sacred architecture, from the Great Pyramid to the Gothic churches. Nature exhibits the golden section in organic life, from the sunflower to the nautilus, to the proportions of the human; measure the navel to the feet and the head to the feet. It became associated with the occult, and it was kept also secret for stone tradecraft. The only tools required to make the golden proportion are the square and compasses, which are the emblems of Freemasonry. The capital letter G also happens to look remarkably like the spiral created by its proportion. The foundation of phi in the science of operative masonry is undeniable, and that speculative masons did not use these canons is notable. In Freemasonry the science of math and the standard of morality are married. If you look in Mackey's exhaustive work, you will not find reference to the golden mean. It was either lost or omitted. The physical creation vortices along gnomonic geometric matrix. Intelligent energy informed by love and freewill is still that which turns darkness to light and ever outward in greater circles from the organic central sun of consciousness. And then the the myth of the eternal return.

Master, Mazda and Metallica
Freemasons regard each other in their ideal state to be brother masters. Masters of themselves, for it is repugnant for us, concepts of implied servitude. The art and craft of speculative masonry, is to know oneself, accept the self and others, and to become a worthy and knowledgable brother. The origin of the name springs from the East, Ahura Mazda, is the name of the All Highest in Zoroastrianism, which is the original western dualistic theology, founded long before Islam or Christianity. In America we cherish our freewill, to worship, to bear arms, to drop out, to be antiestablishment, to accept/reject the status quo. Never cared for what they say, but we trust in You....and nothing else hurls.

The Law of One
Presuming that the Infinite Intelligence, All that Is, God, is not a respecter of persons, and has no bias as to which choice or path of service a self aware person chooses. Both paths of service, while opposite, are not dissimilar, in that even if one serves others, one is ultimately serving self, through that joy. And as we are all one, it is only distortion which separates us as co-creators. Be it the path of selfishness, i.e. the illusion of separation, or be it service to others, i.e. the reality of unity, both extremes are equally valid and enpowered, within our freewill plane, and each soul polarizes or moves toward one of these limits, or just stays on the fence. Add to this the conceptof transmigration, that souls are evolving and that there are higher realities, with both positive and negative polarized entities, which seek to empower their polarity..be it the radiant or absorptive. Assuming that those serving these opposing principals both would have equal opportunity, on a fair and even playing field to, gain adherants....how would they do that? Methods would vary, but assuming that people are making the choice in some awareness, what would be the attraction to self service? Power, pleasure, dominance, ease, intrigue, manipulation and the humiliated foe. And for the attraction of service to others....? Sharing, the joy of freedom, unified action, open communication, the good fight. True power only comes through aligning with the radiance of God, whereas unifying with the principle of self aggrandizement and power absorption is said to be self limiting at higher heavens. The thing is that as we have chosen our path, we magnetize experiences which are of the chosen type. Most people today in the earth are service to others, or are somewhat confused and haven't chosen sufficiently toward either service polarity. Being of harvestable grade is a key concept for graduating from our freewill density. This is a theory of the Law of One.
