Masonic Secrets of the Knights Temlar
Writers who have woven Masonic themes into literary works of fiction and non-fiction, while perhaps legitimately speculating upon matters of public interest such as whether or not Jesus married Mary of Magdalene Masonic Gifts or that the original Knights Templar discovered the Holy Grail, have contributed to the public fascination with the prospect that Freemasonry continues to conceal something that is extraordinarily valuable to all mankind. Indeed, something great and glorious is concealed, or hidden by Freemasons, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus, Mary of Magdalene, or the Holy Grail. And even though that “something” is and always will remain hidden, it is equally available to non-Masons. Anyone who takes the time to journey down the proper path will discover what is hidden without the need for any Mason to violate his obligation.
The writings of the Essenes were laced with mysticism, parables, enigmas and sophisticated allegories. They studied both the esoteric and exoteric meanings of the Holy Writings, which they found in the Old Testament just as the Gnostics found in the New Testament. Christian writers, as well as allegedly Jesus himself, recognized that all scripture had an inner meaning, as well as an outer truth.
In some intellectual circles, as well as in certain Masonic literature, it is insinuated that Jesus was killed because he improperly divulged the hidden mysteries which he had vowed to conceal and never reveal. Under that belief, he was not killed merely because he challenged Roman rule, or the religious dogma taught by the Pharisees. Consequently, the question is frequently asked: did Jesus practice Freemasonry? The answer depends upon one’s own assessment of the available hard evidence.
That particular passage does not appear in any of the other three accepted gospels and no further explanation has been added anywhere in the Holy Writings to help us understand precisely what was going on between Jesus and the anonymous young man at this critical point in Jesus’ life. Perhaps Freemasons discern a similarity to an aspect of Masonic ritual, perhaps not. To understand the nature of the hidden mysteries, it is not essential that the question be answered one way, or the other.
This extraordinarily well disciplined and highly organized sect did not simply appear on the scene at about the time Saint John the Baptist preached than did Freemasonry erupt in 1717 with a fully mechanized ritual. Passages from the Dead Sea Scrolls reveal that members of the sect wrote about the Pharaoh Akhenaton and monotheism and quite likely practiced forms and ceremonies related to the one living God at a time much earlier than even the patriarch Jacob.
Other passages make clear the fact that the hidden mysteries could only be accessed through specific use of certain arts, parts and points similar to what has been described of the ceremonial practices of the mystical High Priest and King of Salem, Melchizadek. Owing to the relationship of Saint John the Baptist as a patron of Freemasonry, it is fair to conclude that the Craft bears at least a strong an affinity to the Essenes.
It is not enough for a person to simply become God-intoxicated. As long as the mind remains disorderly, ignorant and ill-disciplined, any effort to comprehend the hidden mysteries will be in vain. Because of the necessity for a higher level of consciousness to enable a more sophisticated synthesis of all God has made available for man to study, Freemasonry has adopted the system of Pythagoras, whom Masonic writers have described as having himself been a Mason.
Under that system grammar, rhetoric and logic are taught to cultivate and improve the mind. Mathematics, geometry, music and astronomy are also inculcated and a system of symbols is derived therefrom. This outline for the cultivation of intellectual insight should be strictly followed.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you find; knock, and the door to all understanding of the hidden mysteries will be opened for you. You simply need to know how to ask, where to seek and the manner in which you are expected to knock.
