Freemasonry
Albert Pike
stated in his 'Instructions' issued on July 14, 1889, to the 23 Supreme
Councils of the world, recorded by A. C. De La Rive in La Femme et l' Enfant
dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle (page 588) from which is translated and
quoted as follows:
"To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you
may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees – The Masonic
religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in
the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.”
"If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the Christians)
whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy, and hatred of man, barbarism and
repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him?”
"Yes, Lucifer is God, and
unfortunately Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light
without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the
absolute can only exist as two Gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve
as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the
locomotive.”
"In analogical and universal dynamics one can only lean on that
which will resist. Thus the universe is balanced by two forces which maintain
its equilibrium: the force of attraction and that of repulsion. These two
forces exist in physics, philosophy and religion. And the scientific reality of
the divine dualism is demonstrated by the phenomena of polarity and by the
universal law of sympathies and antipathies. That is why the intelligent
disciples of Zoroaster, as well as after them, the Gnostics, the Manicheans and
the Templars have admitted, as the only logical metaphysical conception, the
system of the two divine principles fighting eternally, and one cannot believe
the one inferior in power to the other.”
“Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure
philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but
Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against
Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil."
One must not lose sight of the fact that Pike occupied
simultaneously the positions of Grand Master of the Central Directory of
Washington, that of Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of Charleston and
that of Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry.

references below are from a 1930 reprint of Albert Pike’s 1871, “Morals and
Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.”
In the 20th Degree “Knight Kadosh” you will find the
following on:
Page
819: “[The Blue Degrees are but the
outer court or portico or the Temple.
Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is
intentionally misled by false interpretations.
It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended
that he shall imagine he understands them.
Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of
Masonry. The whole body of the Royal
and Sacerdotal Art was hidden so carefully, centuries since, in the High
Degrees, as that it is even yet impossible to solve many of the enigmas which
they contain. It is well enough for the
mass of those called Masons, to imagine that all is contained in the Blue
Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will labor in vain, and without
any true reward violate his obligations as an Adept. Masonry is the veritable Sphinx, buried to the head in the sands
heaped around it by the ages.]”
As you just read, most
members are Blue Lodge level only and therefore do not know what they are into.
Now read Albert Pike’s
own admission that Freemasonry is Occultic.
Page 820:
“But before his execution, the Chief of the doomed Order organized and
instituted what afterward came to be called the Occult, Hermetic, or Scottish
Masonry.”
Page 821: “To
unite the Rose to the Cross, was the problem proposed by the High Initiation;
and in fact the Occult philosophy being the Universal Synthesis, ought to
explain all the phenomena of Being, Religion, considered solely as a
physiological fact, is the revelation and satisfaction of a necessity of
souls. Its existence is a scientific
fact; to deny it, would be to deny humanity itself.”
In the 28th Degree, “Knight of
the Sun, or Prince Adept” you will find the following on:
Page 729:
“The occult philosophy seems to have been the nurse or the godmother of
all religions, the secret lever of all the intellectual forces, the key of all
divine obscurities, and the absolute Queen of Society, in the ages when it was
exclusively reserved for the education of the Priests and Kings.”
Albert Pike admits that Occultic
Freemasonry’s natural enemy is Christianity.
Page 730-731:
“This is what magic had been, from Zoroaster to Manes, from Orpheus to
Apollonius Thyaneus; when positive Christianity, triumphing over the splendid
dreams and gigantic aspirations of the school of Alexandria, publicly crushed
this philosophy with its anathemas, and compelled it to become more occult and
more mysterious than ever.”
“At the bottom of magic, nevertheless, was science,
as at the bottom of Christianity there was love…”
“Christianity should not have hated magic; but human
ignorance always fears the unknown.
Science was obliged to conceal itself, to avoid the impassioned
aggressions of a blind love. It
enveloped itself in new hieroglyphs, concealed its efforts, disguised its
hopes. Then was created the jargon of
alchemy, a continual deception for the vulgar herd, greedy of gold, and a
living language for the true disciples of Hermes alone.”
“Resorting to Masonry, the alchemists there invented
Degrees, and partly unveiled their doctrine to their Initiates; not by the
language of their receptions, but by oral instruction afterward; for their
rituals, to one who has not the key, are but incomprehensible and absurd
jargon.”
Albert Pike now claims esoteric
enlightenment through the Occult to fully understand Ezekiel and Revelation.
“Among the sacred books of the Christians are two
works which the infallible church does not pretend to understand, and never
attempts to explain, -the prophecy of Ezekiel and the Apocalypse; two
cabalistic clavicules, reserved, no doubt, in Heaven, for the exposition of the
Magian kings; closed with Seven seals for all faithful believers; and perfectly
clear to the unbeliever initiated in the occult sciences.”
Albert Pike expresses his frustration that
Jesus was not allowed to unite with the Occultic Magi and reveal the keys to
enlightenment.
“The mysterious founder of the Christian Church was
saluted in His cradle by the three Magi, that is to say by the hieratic
ambassadors from the three parts of the known world, and from the three
analogical worlds of the occult philosophy.”
“In the school of Alexandria, Magic and Christianity
almost take each other by the hand under the auspices of Ammonius Saccos and
Plato.”
Page 732: “The dunces who led primitive Christianity astray, by substituting
faith for science, reverie for experience, the fantastic for the reality; and
the inquisitors who for so many ages waged against Magism a war of
extermination, have succeeded in shrouding in darkness the ancient discoveries
of the human mind; so that we now grope in the dark to find again the key of
the phenomena of nature.”
In the 32nd Degree “Sublime
Prince of the Royal Secret” you will find the following on:
Page 839:
“The Occult Science of the Ancient Magi was concealed under the shadows
of the Ancient Mysteries: it was imperfectly revealed or rather disfigured by
the Gnostics: it is guessed at under the obscurities that cover the pretended
crimes of the Templars: and it is found enveloped in enigmas that seem
impenetrable, in the Rites of the Highest Masonry.”
“Magism was the Science of Abraham and Orpheus, of
Confucius and Zoroaster.”
It all boils down to Magic!!! Did you know that Jesus was a Magician?
Page 840:
“The Hermetic Science of the early Christian ages, cultivated also by
Geber, Alfarabius, and others of the Arabs, studied by the Chiefs of the
Templars, and embodied in certain symbols of the higher Degrees of Freemasonry,
may be accurately defined as the Kabalah in active realization, or the Magic of
Works.”
Page 841: “Magic
is that which it is; it is by itself, like the mathematics; for it is the exact
and absolute science of Nature and its laws.”
“Magic is the science of the Ancient Magi: and the
Christian religion, which has imposed silence on the lying oracles, and put an
end to the prestiges of the false Gods, itself reveres those Magi who came from
the East, guided by a Star, to adore the Saviour of the world in His cradle.”
In the 3rd Degree “The Master”
you will find the following on:
Page 102:
“The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed;
for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of Atheism
or Idolatry.”
Satan’s favorite lie is that he is not a
real person or being but is only a force or a negation of God!
“For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a
Force, created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty or Free
Will. They represent this Force, which
presides over the physical generation, under the mythologic and horned form of
the God Pan; thence came the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient
Serpent, and the light-bearer or Phosphor, of which the poets have made the
false Lucifer of the legend.”
In the 19th Degree “Grand
Pontiff” you will find the following on:
Page 321:
“The Apocalypse, that sublime Kabalistic and prophetic Summary of all
the occult figures…”
The Apocalypse is another name for the book
of Revelation in the Bible.
“The Apocalypse is, to those who receive the
nineteenth Degree, the Apotheosis of the Sublime Faith which aspires to God
alone, and despises all the pomps and works of Lucifer. Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name given to the
Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of
the Morning! Is it he who bears the
light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish
Souls? Doubt it not! For traditions are full of Divine
Revelations and Inspirations: and Inspiration is not of one Age nor of one
Creed. Plato and Philo, also, were
inspired.”
Doubt it not!! Lucifer is the Light-Bearer of Freemasonry!!
Page 324:
“Hence it is that certain beliefs are universal. The conviction of all men that God is good
led to a belief in a Devil, the fallen Lucifer or Light-bearer, Shaitan the
Adversary, Ahriman and Tuphon, as an attempt to explain the existence of Evil,
and make it consistent with the Infinite Power, Wisdom, and Benevolence of
God.”
