    The Masonic "G" stands for GNOSIS which means knowledge. Satan's lie was to offered Adam and Eve the knowledge to become "gods". The involvement of many important historical, political and other such influential figures in Freemasonry is nothing short of suspicious. History suggests that Freemasonry is much more than just a big boy’s club, as we can see that the Freemasons left their mark on many important areas of history, such as the French and American Revolutions. One only has to look at the architecture in many of our modern day cities to see the prevalence of their symbols. It is also worthwhile noting that it is from Freemasonry that Adam Weishaupt went on to establish The Illuminati in 1776.

    Throughout history the Masons have been subject to much controversy.

    Many Hells Fire Clubs were organised by prominent Masons. It is claimed that these were like masonic orgies, much like the Kubrick film ‘Eyes Wide Shut’.

    Freemasonry is divided into a hierarchical structure, in order to conceal knowledge. The first three degrees are as follows – Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason, all of which require the candidate to participate in a system of initiation that allows men to become familiar with the august and ancient history and principles of Masonry at a comfortable pace. Proceeding from Entered Apprentice to Master Mason in the US can take as little as three months, while in England, the degrees are spaced apart by a year’s interval.”

    After completing the three degrees of Symbolic or Craft Masonry, a Master Mason can proceed down one of two branches; the Scottish Rite or the York Rite [consisting of Royal Arch Masons, Cryptic Masons, and Knights Templar]. The Scottish Rite, the more popular includes the degrees from the 4° to the 32° and should be called additional degrees, rather than higher degrees. The Lodge has its own Constitution and is completely subject to its own jurisdiction.

    If it is merely political and economic control that the Masons are after, why is it that still after all this time there is so much mystery that still surrounds them? The secret handshakes, the rituals, the symbols. There is something below the surface, beyond the realm of financial gain.

    The origins of the handshakes seem to be in the days of operative masonry, from when it was about concealing the secrets of their trade, so as to continue to have a monopoly of this information. The rituals however raise more questions than they answer.

    Alice Bailey, whose husband Foster was a notable Freemason, claims that Freemasonry is the Babylonian Mystery Schools in their purest form. It should be no surprise to hear then that many Freemasons claim to trace their origins back to Nimrod, with the undertaking to build the infamous Tower of Babel. It was Nimrod, and then later also Nebuchadnezzar who first attempted to unify the world under the first World Order of the Babylonian Empire. It is from the Babylonian Empire that much of what we know today as the “mystery religions”, the occult, etc appear to have originated and spread throughout the world. In order to conceal knowledge, Albert Pike, what is known as the Masonic “Bible”, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Order of Freemasonry states that lower level initiates are deliberately deceived in what they are involved in. So if the low level initiates have no idea what it is they are involved in, it is to the writings of high level Masons we must turn to, most notably Pike and Manly P. Hall, who are considered to be two of the most influential Masons, particularly on philosophical and spiritual matters.

    “The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.” (Albert Pike)

    The All-Seeing Eye has been an important symbol within freemasonry and rosicrucian traditions for hundreds of years.

    The New World Order is an expression that has been used by illuminized Freemasonry since the days of Weishaupt to signify the coming world government.

    “It is necessary to establish a universal regime over the whole world”, Adam Weishaupt (Writings of the Illuminati, 1780)

    It has never been a secret that, in English, the Name of God starts with a G.

    Bear in mind that not everyone in the world speaks English, and that the placing of ANY letter is not universal.

    The symbol of the Freemasons is the Square and Compasses. Some countries add a G, but this is not common in most of the world.

    What secret? Here in the USA (the primary place it is used in the square and compasses) it stands for God. It can also stand for Geometry, Since ancient times Geometry has often been used to argue God's design in creation.
