Greek fraternities have ALOT of Masonic influence and control

@@OGseoulite No. They don’t. Many of their rituals were borrowed from Masonry. And I am sure there is a crossover between men who join Greek fraternities who later become Masons. But Masons as a whole don’t control anything. We are not a homogenous group or hive mind. It’s not Hydra from the Marvel comics.

Hello

I wonder why as well, considering some if not most people miss the biblical references that are in plain site as well. Prince Hall #57

I agree with you. Just because it's anti-Christ, it doesn't mean it's involved in complex diabolical conspiracies. Christians always feel they have the monopoly on goodness and truth. Thanks for your work. Learning a lot from your channel.

Well thank you! But I’m no Dan Brown that’s for sure! Appreciate you watching!!!

@@ScottishRiteMasons do you have to pay some amount of money before you become a Freemason?

what? English please.

Thank you bro Randy! Good seeing you today!

It’s neither. It’s a word made up by Phillip the Fair of France and a bastardized version of a name used by the Turks to describe Muslims in the 12th century.

Wow! Thanks for the tip! Def will check this out!!

Now we’re going full OTO. 93s!

Can you actually see an actual spirit appear in some kind of a recognizable energy form whenever you perform any magic curse, and blessings rituals? Can you actually have a conversation with any types of spirits?

Specifically you’re correct. But in a general context, I’m using “Templar” as an umbrella term like the term “karate”. In a limited forum getting into discussions of the nuances between the Hospitaltiers and the Templars would be confusing to most people not familiar with the differences. And since Ramsay cast the first stone I leave perhaps more of it directly at his door than he’s due. But my overall point remains true: no historic connection to knights of the crusade and freemasonry.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Not entirely correct. Ramsey was a Knight of Saint Lazarus and he was the main person to push for legal recognition of Freemasonry in France. Freemasonry in Malta began in 1730 when "Parfait Harmonie", the first warranted lodge, was formed by Knights of Saint John who came from the Marseille lodge. Three Grand Masters of the order of Saint John were Freemasons up until the British occupation in 1800. It was the Knights of Saint John fleeing to Russia that help establish lodges there too. Étoile Polaire in New Orleans was chartered by Marseille and the lodges that descend from it have a unique feature from the Knights of Saint John in the first degree.

Interesting. I’ll have to look that up. It looks similar to the way David Blaine preps himself for long term holding of his breath. I hear Joe Rogan talking about DMT all the time. Have to look this up. Thanks!

thanks for watching!

Interesting. A similar but slightly different take here in the states. Is it’s represented by the circumpunct?

@@ScottishRiteMasons Indeed. The point stands for God and the diameter stands for everything, reminding us of the omnipotence of God, who's there even in our private moments. On a lesser level the point is the Brother and the diameter his relationship with society, reminding us that all our actions have consequences. The point stands thus for God and for us modern humans also represent creation with the BigBang, since it's a very old symbol one could theorize that the ancient had hidden knowledge in their possession, meaning they were absolutely more knowledged as we give them credit nowadays

Vegas 8-ball. 2008. Love it.

Thanks brother!

the universe is mathematics. the music of the spheres as Pythagoras stated. Wanna neat toy? Look into the Fibonacci sequence :)

Yes. Go to any library.

Another viewer pointed this out. And I think you guys are right. I’ve been so waiting for some one to bring up baphomet, I guess I saw what I wanted instead of investigating!! Working on doing a correction vid ASAP. Thank you! And I agree too on the Legs and triskelion.

@@ScottishRiteMasons It just came to mind since the triskelion symbolizes legs and the tattoo is literally depicting them. I think it is a bastardised symbol for the series with a bastardised esoteric meaning behind it. Still I like the approach the series has taken because they're not doing any harm to any group/organization. I know the lion might be associated with Courage/Fortitude in relation to the 4 Cardinal Virtues. #furtherspeculation. Another thing worth investigating would be the Sicilian Medusa, it has 3 legs, the head of a medusa instead of a lion AND it has wings similar to the ones on Mal'akh's back.

The show is fiction. Simply because Dan Brown says the pyramid is a Masonic symbol doesn’t make it so. It’s just a fun story. And nothing in any of our videos reveals tiled Masonic info. The chamber of reflection is not occult and it’s not secret.

Nothing in this video is a Masonic “secret”. I hate to use that term. I prefer the term private. It tends to be that people over-estimate what is private and what’s isn’t. Most or our stories and allegories and symbols come from scripture. So how private are they?

I believe he might mean, in terms of the scriptures as allegories, that if one believes there an allegory for truth you need the context to reveal the truth that's hidden. In essence that's the hidden part. Alchemy, ceremonial magic, etc all use this system of concealment to safeguard these truths from exploitation recklessly. I would say these aren't a part of a Freemason lodge, but that pursuits into these truths outside Lodge between brothers wouldn't be discouraged. Initiation is a Revelation, but what we're discussing is a more personal Revelation, which doesn't occur in a lodge setting. The Lodge deals with symbolism and allegory, but mostly to stimulate a pursuit of deeper meaning. How deep one goes is up to the individual. Masonry just provides a glimpse of what lies behind ancient symbolism, along with creating a place of order and brotherhood. The journey that leads you on is all yours. Again intentions play a big part in whether that journey is perilous or beneficial. Knowledge can be both. Masonry and most fraternal organizations foster things beneficial to mankind and suffering. A Mason or any individual should choose their journey with a goal of benefiting mankind and it's suffering. This goal brings you closer to God and it's mysteries.

Baphoment is made up out of whole cloth from start to finish; its simply a bastardization of mahomet, an alternative to Mohamed. It was meant to stir up anti-islamic sentiment during the Templar trials. And the Sophia connection has been thoroughly debunked. The goat-headed image was made up by Levi to just be shocking IMO. He has some explanation about it, but its just garbage. He was trying to be shocking for its own sake.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Good info. I hadn't heard that side of it and it makes some sense in context. I'll do more research. Thanks.

Baphomet represents Capricorn the horns of the goat represents the generative reproductive area. Just like Aries sheeps horns resembles the human brain. Capricorn represents represents winter, death, astrotheology wise its the death of the sun and it's resurrection. Baphomet is linked to the cult of the saturnian brotherhoods. Satanists use the statue which also has hermetics in it. It represents the left hand path.

It’s shown in the slides to the 18th if they are doing it correctly.

sure! Check out the www.mastercraftsmancollege.org and there is a ton on there.

@@ScottishRiteMasons awesome thank you very much

i just applied@@ScottishRiteMasons

It’s a great book. But much of what is in the book is fiction from the mind if Dan brown. And he’s the first to admit it.

I would say that Christianity reveres the Old Testament and any Christian should be fine with the Old Testament being open. It certainly isn’t anti-Jesus.

Find the Grand Lodge in your Home country and contact them. They are the only ones who can help you.

Dont be an idiot

Nope. It’s made up nonsense from the mind of Leo Taxil.

100% correct. I try to keep the videos from going too far into the weeds, but yes it seems as though there was a clerical error of some kind. I can’t quite buy it tho!! We have a copy of the trial transcript from the Vatican archive at the House of the Temple.

You’re correct. I did a follow up at some point and mentioned in the threads as well. Thank you for the info though!

Was not a mason. And you know this is just the review of a TV show?

He was Jewish, but identified as a French Catholic. He entered the 'Grand Orient de France', but left before gaining any higher degrees.

I don't care what he was; he was a kook and not a real Mason. ~ME

If you consider free or speculative masonry to have started in the craft guilds, then masonry.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Very interesting. Thank you.

Definitely Rosicrucians...Only Masons who dig deep into the study history of Masonry will know that Freemasonry is an Offspring of the Ancient Rose Croix tradition that has stemmed from the Mystery Schools..This is also noted by a Master Mason himself in the constitution.To be quite honest the crux of Masons do not know their history, neither do they care to study deeply into the mysteries. The Rosicrucians and Freemasons were closely connected as the Latter is the offspring but both fraternities has since gone their own way and since then have nothing to do with each other.They pursue their objectives in each their own way. That is not to say one is inferior to the other...One may say that the Ancient and Accepted Freemason Order is the "largest known" fraternity of the two up to date and that would be accurate.~Seek and you shall find, knock on the door and it will be opened to you~

Freemasonry as old as king solomon

@@Greeny_isthegoat that's the myth. What's the real thing?

You know this is just a review for a TV show right? You don’t need to get all holy.

I’m pretty sure it was so the bad guy could make the hood guys know he was serious!

Made a point lol

Corrected this on a subsequent video. You’re a couple years behind.

@@ScottishRiteMasons yeah, your channel just showed up, and i am watching them in order lol

No worries. I’m rewatching Seinfeld reruns. In the “streaming age” it could be anytime! Enjoy the show and thanks for watching.

@@ScottishRiteMasons i am also, because of your series, rewatching the Lost Symbol..i watched it before, but you made it sound so much better than when i watched it lol

I mentioned this in a follow up video. Thanks!

@@ScottishRiteMasons Whoops I'm a little behind. ;)

No worries. Those videos are from 2021. Thanks for watching tho!

This is a review of a TV show, the aim here is to separate fact from fiction concerning Masonic symbols. Not to have a discussion of esoteric philosophy. Also, I am not even sure your sentence makes sense.~ME

@@ScottishRiteMasons all good brother.hanks for your reply.

No. Baphomet was made up entirely by Philip the Fair of France to accuse the Knights Templar. Any thing that was applied after that is some silly modern invention. Regardless, Baphomet has nothing to do with Masonry.

The flat earth nonsense has been debunked 1000000 times over and the moon landings have been documented beyond reproach so there’s no conversation to have. Have a nice day.

Baphoment is not the devil. He was a made up deity used essential to cram the Knights Templar. Regardless he’s got zero to do with freemasonry.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Baphomet is a goat horned god that has been around since the Egyptian Dynasty. The depiction may differ slightly but the symbolism in the pictures of Baphomet represents occultism and other religious ideas that are clearly in line with Satan.

You're simply incorrect. The first known mention of Baphomet was in association with the Templar trials and false accusations. Its made up entirely. The Sabbatic goat image you're mentioning was also made up by the French Occultist Eliphas Levi in the mid 19th century. The Egyptians may have had a goat-headed deity, but it was not baphomet. Whether or not people associate it with satan is up to them. But it is NOT associated with Masonry. Baphomet is not old or important. It's simply a cartoon character.

@@ScottishRiteMasons that's why I said I thought it was a devil

Baphomet is made up nonsense from Phillip the fair.

Some of my best friends are pagans. ;)

That always struck me as rude too!

This is all nonsense. You’re incorrect.

Allan, Lucifer isn't a person or a deity. Lucifer, as the bringer of light, is actually the Morning Star which is Venus.

YES!! thank you!!

Solomon got his wisdom and all favor from the living GOD.

Of course it’s fake. It’s a tv show. Not a documentary.

Well. It is a TV show…
