th unselfishness will gradually perfect in you a similar relation to other workers. this will work out in three directions: 1. in a demonstrated ability to be in telepathic rapport with me and with those with whom i am associated. 2. in power to communicate with each other at any time. 3. in sensitivity to the thoughts of humanity as a whole. can you not see, therefore, how a miniature replica of the brotherhood can be established on earth and how in decades to come the working disciples of the world, the isolated initiates in the many world organisations and the personnel of the new group of world servers will automatically respond to the telepathic sensitivity of such groups as will be found working in the many ashrams of the masters? the result of this success will not be the recognitio

ng in the many ashrams of the masters? the result of this success will not be the recognition of any particular group but it will lead to the recognition of a universal power and the state of mind of disciples of all degrees. this will establish in time and without controversy the unity of all beings. the revelation of unity through the power of thought is the glorious consummation of the work of the brotherhood and to this you do, as do all disciples, respond in your highest moments. it can, in a smaller way and according to the measure of your consecration, be your glory and- 22- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust your goal also if you hold the thought of oneness, of service and above all else of love. second: the power of the intuition, which is the goal of

field of your spiritual experimentation. with them i shall not deal, for you are all adult souls and progress by defined service, not by being helped. your task is to aid the work which the hierarchy plans to do, to find the ways and means whereby that service can be wisely rendered, to discover the manner in which world need (not your group need) can be met, to finance that share in the work of the brotherhood to which you have been assigned by your soul, and to do your part in developing those human attitudes which are needed if true peace is to be found in the world by 1975. if this work is soundly done, then a world unity can be established which will produce right human relations, a sound world politic, a united spiritual effort and an economic "sharing" which will bring to an end al

that universal religion which will be founded on all the past, which will consummate the work of the christ and which will open up a fresh stretch (if i may use such an expression) upon the path of light which leads to god. the new world religion all past divine revelations have brought humanity to the point where (spiritually speaking) man's essential divinity is theologically recognised, where the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of god are recognised ideals and where science has demonstrated the fact of an unfolding purpose and the existence of a fundamental, intelligent agent behind all phenomena. step by step man has been led through prayer, the voice of desire, through worship, the recognition of deity, through affirmation of the fact of human identity of nature with the divine

rarchy. it will be obvious to you that as humanity, through its most advanced units, prepares for this next great approach it must accept with faith and conviction (faith for the masses, and conviction for the knowers and the new group of world servers) the premises stated above: 1. the fact of god (god transcendent) 2. man's relationship to the divine (god immanent) 3. the fact of immortality 4. the brotherhood of man (god in expression) 5. the existence of the way to god 6. the historicity of the two great approaches and the possibility of a third and imminent approach. it is here that the churches, if regenerated, can concentrate their efforts, cease perpetuating the outer and visible form, and begin to deal with the reality underlying all dogmas and doctrines. upon these inner assuranc

ight mode of living right effort right thinking right rapture or true happiness his ancient message is as new today as it was when he spoke his words on earth; a recognition of its truth and value is desperately needed, and the following of the "eight right ways of living" will enable humanity to find liberation. it is on the foundation of his teaching that the christ raised the superstructure of the brotherhood of man to form an expression of the love of god. today, as it views the crumbling, devastated world, mankind has a fresh opportunity to reject selfish, materialistic motives and philosophy and to begin those processes which will steadily and gradually bring about its liberation. it will then be possible for men to tread the lighted way which leads back to the divine source of light

tremendously speeded up in 1925, and will climax in a peculiar sense in 1934. we shall then enter upon three years of excessive endeavour in an effort to hasten the coming and to prepare mankind for the great day of opportunity. you who know of these times and can interpret them aright in the light of the illumined intuition, must unite together for the rendering of service and for the helping of the brotherhood, of which the christ is the divine leader, and of which the masters, the initiates, disciples and aspirants are the working and living organism on the physical plane. the externalisation of the ashrams january 1946 in these words i refer to an aspect of the amazing enterprise upon which the hierarchy is embarked within this cycle: its appearance, expression and activity upon the ph

nches of the great white lodge have chosen to work ever since atlantean days. it is not the solitude of a separative spirit, but the solitude that comes from the ability to be non-separative, and from the faculty of identification with the soul of all beings and of all forms. this can best be accomplished in the intense quiet of those "protected" areas where the masters in the various branches of the brotherhood have chosen to dwell. this solitude and physical isolation enables them to work almost entirely from the level of the buddhic or intuitional plane, perfecting the science of impression, influencing and working through those minds which are susceptible to their mental impression. this applies equally to masters in physical vehicles and to those who have "no anchorage" in the three w

foundation of the manipulation of the world has always been the control of knowledge. while the religions were using fear, guilt and imposition to sell the people a desperately narrow view of life and themselves, a secret network developed to pass on far more advanced knowledge to the privileged few. even within this vibratory prison, there is knowledge that remains hidden from most the birth of the brotherhood 25 figure 3 people. it does not compare with the knowledge available outside the prison, but it is still far in advance of that which humanity in general has been allowed to know. if you want to manipulate people, it is essential that you have knowledge which they don't have. one of the first rules of control and manipulation is "don't let your victims know what you know. i will ca

racy to keep humanity in the spiritual dark will crumble and fall. it is already doing so. a key part of this process is to reveal the nature of the deception and why it is being perpetrated. the vehicle for keeping this knowledge from the public arena has been the system of initiations used by the ancient mystery schools and the now immense secret society network all over the world, which i call the brotherhood. each higher level of initiate is given more knowledge than those below. this sets up a pyramid structure, with the few who reach the top levels of initiation knowing far, far more than the majority further down the ladder (see figure 3. this makes it easy for those few to manipulate the rest. the content of this esoteric knowledge relates to an understanding of the laws and potent

, at their higher levels, this network of secret societies and the knowledge it has inherited are being used, i believe, for almost entirely negative reasons, under the direction of its highest, controlling core: the global elite or simply the elite. the members of this elite are either direct incarnations of the fourth dimensional prison warders or have their minds controlled by them. the aim of the brotherhood and its interdimensional controllers has been to centralise power in the hands of a few. this process is very advanced and it is happening on a global scale thanks to modern technology. the game plan is known as the great work of ages or the new world order, and it seeks to introduce a world government to which all nations would be colonies; a world central bank and currency; a wor

of god. amongst the medieval rosicrucians the four arms of this cross were taken to symbolize the four elements, water, fire, air and earth, called in hebrew iammim, nour, ruach and iabescheh, corresponding yet again to the four beasts about the throne of god, symbolized for us by the four great banners of the order. 773. since thus we learn that all life is the divine life, it follows also that the brotherhood of that life is in truth universal, and is by no means confined to the human species. not only is every man our brother, of whatsoever race, colour or creed he may be, but the animals and the trees around us- yea, even the very rock under our feet- are all our younger brethren, all part of the same mighty evolution. when we realize all that this knowledge implies, when we see how g

power. however, it is one thing to merely state this as a fact, and quite another thing to experience this power for the first time. nowadays, all manner of sexual diversity is commonplace, and books on sexual magic are easy to come by. the reader should bear in mind that it was a very different kettle of fish in the mid-fifties. however, i would not like to give the impression that the focus of the brotherhood was merely a venue for sexual orgia. the brotherhood s satanic ethos focused on the necessity of untangling oneself from the bindings of christian culture. since open and free sexual behaviour which is pleasurable, rather than merely procreative, has been for centuries castigated and demonized, our magister considered it the most effective method of awakening and invigorating the p

ifer, that of [personal] poise, and lilith, that of abandonment. as the celebrant s own development continues, his relationship with these powers or expressions also changes. one final point i will deal with is the relationship between man and demons. ancient hebraic lore states that mankind is a race of demons, and indeed that when adam fell, he spent 130 years engendering demons with lilith. in the brotherhood, i was taught to view the demonic legions as kith and kin, and the rite of the averse pentagram was used both to identify with the luciferean life-spark, and to attract demonic brethren who were willing to serve as effectors of one s will. in contrast to the majority of so-called banishing rituals where the emphasis is placed on keeping things out, the purpose of this rite was to

an and spirit. to this end, certain sexual acts can be specified as sacred- in the sense that they are only performed within particular ritual circumstances, thus retaining their emotional associations with taboo, forbidden pleasures and heightened sensuality. ritual sodomy, scatology and flagellation have their uses, but these are greatly lessened if they become normative to the practitioner. in the brotherhood, the aim of sexual magia was to enable celebrants to move between both apollonian and dionysian modes of expression at will. the popular chaos magic obsession with deconditioning- which i understand as an attempt to surpass all personal boundaries tends to ignore the point that some boundaries if deliberately and carefully maintained, can be extremely useful for magical work. it is

osition--which, however, was popularized only after it had been espoused by theosophy. this theory asserts that the rosicrucians actually possessed all the supernatural powers with which they were credited; that they were in reality citizens of two worlds: that, while they had physical bodies for expression on the material plane, they were also capable, through the instructions they received from the brotherhood, of functioning in a mysterious ethereal body not subject to the limitations of time or distance. by means of this "astral form" they were able to function in the invisible realm of nature, and in this realm, beyond reach of the profane, their temple was located. according to this viewpoint, the true rosicrucian brotherhood consisted of a limited number of highly developed adepts

would cause consternation, to say the least. rosicrucian symbols have many meanings, but the rosicrucian meaning has not yet been revealed. the mount upon which stands the house of the rosy cross is still concealed by clouds, in which the brethren hide both themselves and their secrets. michael maier writes "what is contained in the fama and confessio is true. it is a very childish objection that the brotherhood have promised so much and performed so little. with them, as elsewhere, many are called but few are chosen. the masters of the order hold out the rose as the remote prize, but they impose the cross on those who are entering (see silentium post clamores, by maier, and the rosicrucians and the freemasons, by de quincey) the rose and the cross appear upon the stained glass windows of

NAUDON PAUL THE SECRET HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY

ns of professional building organizations. first, they contributed and this is critical to the preservation and transmission of the traditions and secrets of the collegia that had been more or less overwhelmed by the barbarian invasions, then legally dissolved by the formation of feudal society. second, the monastery schools trained the lay masters, who, starting in the twelfth century, took over the brotherhoods of builders jointly with the ecclesiastical masters. these brotherhoods were precursors to later trade guilds and corporations; they were able to be transformed into these new structures when social evolution offered a legal framework that supported this change. the history of monastic associations is primarily linked to that of two religious orders: the benedictine order and its

scatter throughout the mountains. through their actions, two men often confused with one another have come to epitomize this celtic christian community: saint columba (known in ireland as columkill) and saint columban. saint columba (521?-597) was the founder of the monastery of derry and, in 563, of the monastery on the isle of iona, which he transformed into the center of irish christianity and the brotherhood of the culdees. his missionaries evangelized as far afield as iceland and feroe and were responsible for restoring the christian religion in britain. saint columban (540-615, one of the fathers of the culdeen church, preached the christian gospel to the picts and the scots. later, in the company of twelve monks, he arrived in france, where he founded the luxeil abbey. in 613 he als

ich professional objectives became predominant and secular elements became oriented in a technical direction. the secular brotherhoods the first secular brotherhoods appeared in the middle of the twelfth century. their appearance is connected to two interdependent factors: the enthusiasm of faith and the communal movement. born from vast religious and social upheavals that were then taking place, the brotherhoods first assembled with a general common purpose of uniting all people from all trades. as their goals became more precise, they became more specialized in the professional sphere, gathering together individuals of the same profession, starting with tradesmen, then craftsmen. we can see in the general features of these brotherhoods the social context from which they sprang and the ch

al of proven virtue stood at the head of each one and the most holy virgin was selected as the patron saint of each. in order to be accepted it was necessary for an individual to meet three conditions: sacramental confession, the fulfillment of whatever penitence was imposed following this confession, and reconciliation with any personal enemies. when word went out about a new church to be built, the brotherhoods traveled in groups to the designated site. their first concern was to form a wall with the carts that had carried them there, and then settle inside as if it were a spiritual campground. there they spent the first night, singing hymns in the light cast by hundreds of torches. once they had begun work, there was not a single task, no matter how painful, to which they did not submit

was the case in 1302 with the famous assembly of the general estates. in a society dominated by the sacred, it was logical that the temple was, for all actions playing a determinative role in social life, the secular brotherhoods: the germanic and anglo-saxon guilds 55 terrestrial reproduction of a transcendent model. the same was true in the traditional civilizations of ancient peoples. each of the brotherhoods to which abbot aymon refers was not yet strictly composed of artisans of one trade who had banded together to perform their profession. instead, for work that was not planned in advance, brotherhoods were formed spontaneously on the construction sites themselves and were concerned with numerous activities. in their composition they were often temporary or itinerant associations. s

professional rules were identical everywhere, often down to the last detail. the work left no room for innovation. nevertheless, the status of these brotherhoods and the position of their members were often quite varied depending upon their training and the means by which they had become established. evolution had led to adaptation of feudal law, but it had not altered the principles of this law. the brotherhoods that had emerged directly from monastic associations and that remained in the abbey's domain remained subject to the sovereign jurisdiction of the abbey and often continued to benefit from great franchises and privileges issued by the church. it is within these brotherhoods that we can see the birth of the francs metiers (free craftsmen) and freemasonry. the "communal" brotherhood

imensional entities. the tribal shamans know this. satanic rituals and human sacrifice, especially of children, are performed on a vast scale and involve some of the most famous politicians, business people, media owners and entertainers on the planet. of course they do. it would be amazing if they did not, given the background. these rituals and human sacrifice have always been the foundation of the brotherhood 'religion' since ancient times. and the brotherhood manipulates its satanic initiates and 'gofers' into the positions of political, economic, business, military, medical and media power, and into influential positions in the world of entertainment. therefore the ratio of satanists and child sacrifices at the top of these professions and institutions is staggeringly high compared wi

re continuing. read the message "littleton massacre and reptilian/satanism connection" for an explanation of the possible satanism, reptilian connection (and the mechanism involving blooddrinking, sacrifices to feed the dark gods in the 4th dimension. the following for scrutiny. icke wrote" the reason that belgium is a headquarters for satanism and so many brotherhood institutions is very simple. the brotherhood created belgium for just this reason in 1831 and they imposed upon it a reptilian 'royal' line, the house of saxe-coburg-gotha, the bloodline of the british royal family and, through its branch in prussia, the supporters of adam weishaupt, the founder of the bavarian illuminati. the paedophile murder ring which came to light in belgium in 1996 is but one part of the satanic network

found at the sacrificial sites identified by witnesses, particularly at the sects headquarters. the satanic group behind the belgian murders is said to interconnect with similar rings in holland, germany, and america" in truth, it will be part of the global network which operates in all countries. satanism is run like a transnational corporation. what is called satanism is the ruling hierarchy of the brotherhood pyramid under the command of the reptilians. like all the other parts of the network, it is strictly compartmentalised, the highest levels of the satanic network lock into the highest levels of the brotherhood, but the lower degrees are not allowed to know the true nature of the organisations they are involved in. some of the levels of satanism are known as the sisters of light, th

t which i am still inclined to think were christian libels or came from a misunderstanding of the rites. the mysteries, in greece and rome at least, were secret cults to which only the initiated were admitted after being prepared and purified and passing ordeals to prove their worth. they were also given instruction on how to attain to a happy and satisfied life on earth, to know the teachings of the brotherhood within the cult, how to attain reunion with their loved ones who had passed on, how to be reincarnated in this way, and, probably, in ways of persuading the gods to favour them and grant their requests; in other words, magic. each of the ancient mysteries at cabrai, samothrace and eleusis had a different myth and was dedicated to a different god, zeus, dionysus, orpheus or another
