6 PREFACE

The Grand Magistral Prior to the Principality of Monaco of Order of Knights Templar of Jerusalem, lent me one of his books which reflects its research and thoughts. I was surprised to see that all key topics have been dealt with, even those concerning the Knights Templar’s peace, in all their aspects. It is true that the seal “graal l’abraxas” (in Gnostic cosmology, Abraxas is the name of the highest God, which is the unborn Father) and the Gnostic character of the Order’s hierarchy. Christianity in all his knowledge claims, as stated by our Lord Je- sus Christ: “The Kingdom of Heaven is for each of you, nothing else is to be found because it is clear that the rest will be given through faith.” This Holy Grail, which is the revelation of the awakening, the Or- der of the Knights Templar the door in its essence, having regards to the awakening formula and the content of the traditional investiture ritual: Awake, brave knight! The Knights Templar were custodians of other initiatory traditions, a crossroads of cultures, the Knights Templar attended erudite and scholars coming from other civilizations. The Grand Prior Domizio also interested in a more occult aspect, which revolves around the Notre Dame currents, Mary of Magdala, currents that lead to subsidiaries of all the aristocratic families of the Holy Grail and certain organizations that perpetuate this tradition. No one doubts that the current Order brothers will, in this testimony of a committed Knight Templar, subjects on which to reflect. This book will incite the Knights Templar of the Order to deepen the subjects evoked. It will also be an indispensable manual for novices who want to be integrated on a little-known path.

7 Congratulations to the Grand Prior Domizio Cipriani for having made his research available to the general public.

Therefore, the Magnus Priory of Monte Carlo in the Principality of Monaco represents the spearhead for a wise evolution at international level and Domizio, as the Grand Prior is the best and an unquestionable choice, being the continuation of the Knights Tem- plar of the new and renewed masonry G.L.U.D.I.I. who works in the assistance to help the neediest. Let us always remember that in life there is always a moment… and it’s why every morning when we get up, we must thank the Lord for giving us a new moment…

Ezio Giunchiglia The author of book “The Art of Human Balance”

**** The Grand Prior of the Principality of Monaco Sovereign Military Order of the Knights Templar of Jerusalem, Domizio Cipriani, in his illuminated elaborate, full of concepts and profound reflections, takes the reader through all the roads indicated by the author, which he had experimented, leading to develop the enormous potential that every human being already possesses but mostly ignores. Huge potential that, through understanding, mercy, sympathy, and above all the willingness to help others, you can develop true wisdom and the close harmony to such a degree as to reach the human being that exists between the universe and everything that which it is part.

9 **** Dear Domizio, I apologize for having waited so long to send this little thought on your beautiful book. I thought to make a presentation a bit “special” because you already had far more prominent. Only when the knowledge, the judgement, are transformed into wisdom, we can really consider enlighten our way. As humans, we cannot face life without self-awareness that give us the true motives that otherwise would not be possible. Wisdom is like a backpack, we carry on our journey, from which we can extract information that our earthly passage cannot be limited to things that are here today and tomorrow may be no more: beauty, health, money, power. If these are the goals, we will never understand what sadistic supernatural force might estrange them any moment. Only if these goals are used in the right way, they take on a specific meaning. “I was not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge” states, in The Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto XXVI by Dante Alighieri, started, by using the figure of Odysseus, the deceiver… “For my part, I will find me well in Hell to quibble about philosophy with the most important thinkers of Humanity” says William of Baskerville in the “Name of the Rose” by Umberto Eco. The virtue of these is understood as courage to explore, to reveal, to bring to light, true knowledge. The Philosophy, The Occult History, The Mythology, are full of examples where Man has challenged himself and his fears to arrive at a knowledge that then is the real power. In this beautiful text by Domizio Cipriani, the author instructs “those who have ears to hear” a road to the explanation of things that appear, to those who fear, or unexplained or attributable to dogmas or magic formulas, both unworthy of Man as Unity synthesis.

10 **** I really appreciated this little book, a true manual of modern Tem- plar, where Domizio Cipriani, Grand Prior of the Principality of Mo- naco of OSMTH, gathered his research and thoughts. He has brought together several themes into a coherent ensemble without losing sight of the humanitarian aspect of the Knight Templar wisdom. A true contemporary Knight Templar, basically managed to board all the current issues of the saga “this poor knights of Christ”. Each chapter is a research base for all readers who want to pen- etrate more deeply into the still secret roots of this Knights brotherhood so mysteriously vanished, but our friend Domizio nudge’s open the doors. Congratulations to our Grand Prior for the awakening wisdom, as our induction ritual proclaims: wake-up valiant Knight!

11 Author’s Note

This biography begins by enlightenment I had, after reading some books of writers which become famous precisely because of the il- luminations, which were able to convey to all, in simple and under- standable words, the power of our thoughts when used consciously. A heartfelt thanks to my friend Franco, accountant and writer by mission, author of several publications about the Knights Templar, who knew how to motivate me in this adventure and to the knight sister Lana, who was able to get my attention giving me a book, from which it is born all this. I found myself taking a very prestigious and important role, without having with a particular obsession tried, I was appointed Grand Prior of the Order of the Knights Templars of the Principality of Mo- naco, with a mission to be carried out; transmitting the knowledge of my accomplishments to all people in vibrational resonance and especially ready to receive it. I have the gift which I give it to you! Having had the honor of meeting many masters on my journey of earthly life, and consequently analyzing the subliminal messages received, I was prompted to read (which I denied until then) and to deepen my knowledge in the field of metaphysics for by means of the reading. As if by chance, I met my mentor, my friend Carlo, manager of a pharmaceutical company who regularly pass me the books from his library. This studying brought me to the merging of the data from my technical opus of knowledge, to the obtaining of many accomplishments primarily through understanding existence, inner peace and the messages of divine light that we receive each moment! The dear master and knight brothers’ authors, Jean Pierre, Ezio and Aldo, always about the presence, had led me to reflect on the definition of love and expansion of consciousness, and on the presence of

12 similarities that exist between chivalry and martial arts. Werner, an older master of Aikido (whose literal translation means love-union of energies), had spurred me to research on metaphysics through martial arts and oriental philosophies of life, signaling me to pay particular attention to the problem arose in the various transla- tions of the texts ancients in different modern languages, particularly this subjective than truly objective. It’s nice to see that the translation of the English word “heaven” actually means “expansion”; because heaven is within us in this Earth, we find it is only through the inner stillness, awakening and resurrection in this life, not after death! Even comparing the experiences of my master of Kung-Fu Roberto and close friend Thierry former bank employer, I have become aware of my energy body and my physical body. This gave me the incentive to deepen the learning from the messages, vibration and learn more on xenoglossia. I am very happy with my experience, of my accomplishments and my spiritual growth resulting from an absolute trust in the messages that are always put into practice without schedules, following the flow as suggested by the friend Kaivalia. We are more intuitive as always claimed our mentor the good Dr. Rol. It is thanks to these results I started to sketch out these words to pass on to all interested persons to share the obvious successes. In search for a new way to realize a philosophy of eco-sustain- able living through group work, into some new social surroundings, formed by a new political class with profound moral values which combats egoism, individualism and indifference, through the help of the millennial knowledge. Our Jesuit Pontiff of Jesus is sending a very strong message, probably the Black Pope quoted from the prophecies and it is our duty to nurture ambitions to create a better world by supporting the self-help group activities, life in self-sufficient agricultural community, study, research, spiritual growth, financial management, as it was precisely because of the Knights’ Templar (Militia Templi) over the centuries, with the figure of the Knights of charity. This text is not and should not be deemed scientific but rather a sharing of my journey; to be read

13 and interpret using their free will in the search of topics covered, the last part is certainly addressed to the initiated. Thanks to Carlo internationalist lawyer friend, author and speaker for the help in the re-reading of this book and for his pleasant com- ment. Thanks to Simone for his ideas, for his motivation and positivity. Gratitude, as in the tradition of martial arts, who gave birth to me, who introduced me into the Order and given me knowledge, those who created the Order, and of course to our Prince. Thanks to the knight sister Lauretta di Parigi and the knight brother Vuk of Belgrad and Luiza from Tampa for their help in the translation work in English and in French of this book. A thank you from the bottom my heart to you who are reading the book demonstrating interest and desire to discover.

Thank you! I love you all!

14 PART I

15 16 Chapter I

Awakening, the point from where it all began

I have always been a selfish very materialistic with an apathy towards religion, particularly the Catholic Church. Frequently faith and selflessness, donations, and humanitarian missions were brought to my attention; which I used to believe, but I never put “into action”, as opposed to what was happening and the messages I was sending out daily in my line of business and which it was working already! Always I heard about “morbid attachment” to material things, to people, to the mind, to the problems, diseases, but I felt superior and able to control this type of emotions… famous last words! One day, however, have started coming a succession of earthly experiences that appears to me how I was attacked and on other hand dependent on those emotions! In relationships, in material things, in money as an end and not as a means… During a Knights Templar ceremony, I applied as I perceived by an inner message: “take action!”, “Change the paradigm!”. Is so true that I have engaged to collect the offerings (which usually I used to pay the expenses of the association) and give charity to the Anglican Church who graciously hosting us, to help the community of Haiti affected by the earthquake, to rebuild the roof of a school. Father Walter, the pastor, was very moved when I handed the donation check. At the same time, I experienced an emotion never felt before, I felt an intense and radiant light that was wrapping around me, the weath- er was sultry, but finally I took action and I understood the sense of gratification that will felt, greater emotion and not comparable to any prize money.

17 Since then I’ve definitely had more faith, and I realized what it meant to act, it was relatively simple but effective! The reward is priceless! In my line of work, I managed to create huge real estate as- sets from virtually nothing, but, unfortunately, have never been able to take full advantage of that achieved because it was taken away from me for various reasons… bad luck? Crisis? Unfavorable economic situation? No, selfishness! I have learned my lesson, all right, I took action when I was asked what I do for others? What can I do, nothing more than, sending the message of knowledge that is given to me, which by the way is something very simple that does not take away too much time, and on the same time brings me great rewards and followers, but mostly leaves me the unforgettable emotions and a lot of joy. It allows me to live in a better condition, as claimed by the alchemists, between white and red, in paradise, like truth, is always in the middle. It is an emotion like circling in the sky, into the light, reaching out to all those who want to rise from the black of the earth as long as they are ready to accept this new state of freedom from jealousy, envy, selfishness, greed; the trip it is not easy if you’re not ready to join the discussion. I can feel the vibrations resonate with my being through our con- nectors, the tiny hairs in the nose that we have, which the animals have it in the tail. I experience a feeling of bliss and joy, I identify with the definition of wise, as simply said by Confucius, “is the one who best suits the universe around him”. I am fully gratified with the fact that many people are asking me for advice, they appear satisfied by my life views; I see in those who I frequent, which unconsciously are developing of new skills, hidden to them before and that even thought they had, a real self-expansion.

18 Chapter II

The Bliss (research I carried out upon enlightenment)

The knowledge came from the East, they were talking about the mystics, saints and sages, led them to say that the word “knowledge” is enclosed our reality. The Eastern mind, trying to achieve integra- tion of inner being, while acquiring the inner awareness. The natural tendency would lead to opt for the body because it is tangible, it is something that already appears as real, meanwhile the awareness is something that you have to look, you have to take an inner journey to find it. Enjoy the body, enjoy the physical existence; secluded from the material world lies your spiritual growth. And when you get tired of material satisfaction, you will ask yourselves: “Is there something higher, more sublime in life?” This question mustn’t be solely intellectual; it has to be existential too: “Is there something higher?” Only when this question is asked in terms of existence will you find something more within you, COR- RECT, there is something big, bigger, the materialistic experience is only the beginning! Only then your awakened soul will take possession of your existence, you will realize that these pleasures weren’t even a shadow of what life is. There is bliss so limitless… and this bliss does not oppose you, is not in the contrast nor in the conflict with the pleasure.

In fact, it is the pleasure which has brought you to bliss! (Quotation from Osho Rajneesh)

19 THE KNIGHTS’ TEMPLAR SYMBOLS

Among the enumerated symbolic crosses in the Knights Templar symbols group, there is one that has particular importance, the Cross of the Eight Beatitudes, so called because it has eight points, or cusps, in its outer periphery. The octogonary, symbolized the octagon and the eight points of the “Beatitudes” cross, evokes the double passive and active quater- nary, which summarizes the balance of constructive shapes, tempera- ments and cosmic energies. Its eight points may symbolize the Beatitudes according to Saint Matthew: - Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the land. - Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. - Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. - Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. - Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. - Blessed are the persecuted for the righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Or they may represent some important Christian virtues:

Loyalty, Mercy, Frankness, Courage, Glory and honor, Contempt for death, Solidarity with the poor and sick, respect for the philosophy of life.

They may also represent the eight principles that had to be respected by the ancient Knights Templar:

Spirituality, simplicity, humility, compassion, justice, mercy, sincerity, patience.

20 The Illuminated is the strangest in the strange world, it does not seem to belong to anyone. No organization traps him, no community, no society, no nation. His knowledge and so total as to create antago- nism in the unconscious crowd… (Quotation from Osho Rajneesh lectures)

“Spirituality is a constant giving up in order to get down to basics” and it begins where religion ends. (Quotation from Confucius lectures)

According to the ancient rule of Saint Bernard regarding obedience to know that:

- When you want to stay in West, you will be sent to the East. - When you want to stay awake, you will be ordered to rest. - When you want to speak, you will be asked to keep quiet.

THE 8 SUFFERINGS OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR THAT BE OUR GLORY

1. You’ll be hungry for justice, but you will be denied. 2. You’ll thirst for knowledge, but you will be lied to. 3. You’ll be sleepy, but you will have to wake up. 4. You’ll get cold, but no one will be able to warm you up. 5. You’ll wish to stay, but you will have to leave. 6. You’ll wish to hate, but you will have to love. 7. You’ll want peace, but demons will force you to fight them. 8. You’ll want to give up, but your faith and your courage will for- bid you.

21 Chapter III

Love and Freedom

Love is not possessiveness or morbid attachment, is a form of selfless free will, it enables you to be in harmony with the universe that surrounds you; is inner peace, the joy of living. Any morbid attachment to material things is a deprivation of liberty, a moment of pleasure but always followed by sadness and apathy; some people need a strong dose of work forced anaerobic respiration to be able to disconnect from thinking continuously and feel a sense of emptiness, peace, joy. Always remember to breathe! We have received life from the divine breath and finally exhale his last breath. We pay attention to fill all of our lungs, starting from the abdomen, chest, shoulders, we learn to feel the air that enters the lungs and oxygenates the blood. To be able to receive universal messages must be able to breathe and stop the cycle of thoughts in our mind, this work is feasible only during a phase of absolute presence; you only need to be able to create a break and enjoy the silence and emptiness, listening and watching your thoughts as an outside observer and say, “what’s the next thought?” try it and you’ll see that there will be a next thought… but on the contrary will experience a feeling of inner peace, try it every day until it will take awareness. Professional sportsmen, martial arts masters, they could go through this process of observation following an anaerobic training when the oxygen is completely used to oxygenate the blood, leaving the dry mind that at this point is obliged to stop in generating thoughts. The compulsive attachment to physical support is easily seen in people suffering from spasmodic and irrational behaviors such as shopping spree, an exaggerated and obsessive necessity of practicing sports, a ceaseless need for sex with an animal instinct-like, to work

22 frenetically, to exceed the feed without worrying about the psychological well-being, to abuse the use of alcohol or drugs, the justi- fication, concerns and frequent complaints needs. This is the total irrationality and you can put an easy remedy, just being able to see it from the outside as observers of what is generated by the mind and evaluate the various situations.

SEIZE THE WISDOM OF SILENCE, THE STRENGTH OF CREATION. (Quotation by Domizio Cipriani)

23 Chapter IV

The right way and free will

Every living being emits vibrations, but in addition humans have the gift of speech to communicate, nature gives us free will to choose our path, always bearing in mind that the right way and the one in between. No one can force us to love a particular person, or force us to slavery, both physical and psychological, and thus we learn to listen to messages, to become aware of and to dare the unusual; metaphysics is the science that studies everything that goes beyond the physical universe, make an effort, try listening to your ego, you will see that and always willing to keep you on the right path. The vibrational frequencies that our energetic body emits can be very high and resonate with the law of attraction which brings our thoughts to manifest in the physical universe, through positive emotions such as making a hologram. Try it, have the tenacity and faith, your thoughts if well directed will become reality! Be careful though to karma and don’t remain bound to the beliefs or the past by giving it a continuous emotional power, otherwise what you will attract into your life and realize that it might be exactly the opposite of what you might want. Think positive, be thankful, give love to everything that surrounds you, you are selfless and you will see it will work! Another very important aspect of our achievements is that significantly influences the law of attraction, are the circle of contacts; attention, pay a lot of attention. There is only us and no one else to choose from us in our lives. A famous writer said that we can take a horse to go one way but we are not obliged to keep it forever if we are not satisfied; we can thank him for the help but subsequently we can change it later with another more appropriate to the path that we want to go.

24 That means that we must always be grateful and congratulate others for their successes, wish to receive them also in our lives without jealousy or competition but we must not become its effect or suc- cubus. We are always the cause of our choices, we are aware in the present, we evaluate our thoughts as an impartial observer and decide rationally, without influences from the past or future thoughts and concerns; I have achieved great success using this simple method, you try it too and let me know. Always be thankful and love the Creator, live the present with joy, every moment, every emotion, remember it and use it to create the hologram of your thoughts and your desires, is the most powerful method to achieve what you desire in the material world, have faith. Our body is constituted for the most part of water and the water molecules which have a very powerful memory affected by the vibrations of our energetic body, as shown by microscopic analysis; know that, if your thoughts are negative, if you complain, justify yourself, bring resentment, hatred, envy, jealousy, all these emotions are con- solidated in these molecules and affect you for life! Do not worry, this memory can be changed positively through your intervention becoming aware of all the positive emotions of peace, of joy, of love, of the present health of now, be thankful and have faith, your life will change radically in an extremely positive manner and you will attract to you all the abundance you want. Eliminate from your life circle of contacts that are not in harmony with your intuition, frequent them if necessary, thank them, you love and share what they have, then let them go their way in the manner they prefer, believe me, you will make yourself a big favor.

25 Chapter V

The Wealth and abundance

I would like to share this achievement of mine, that truly touched me: being an only child, I was always selfish and attached to material things, but at the same time very tenacious, ambitious and above all, intuitive. I was given a lot but I could not keep it, I have had many ups and downs, and many successes, the explanation is very simple “I was not altruistic enough”! The more we give and receive exponentially, the more we give space for intuition, letting ourselves be guided on the path and focusing only in living already “in the present moment”, in the present with the emotions that we will try when our thoughts will come true, the more we will be helped by the law of attraction because we’ll be exactly resonate with what we seek, we say that we are in the same area but on different levels, and all it takes is for us to realize that. Being always very attached to money as an end “and not as a means” to material things, to the possession, the morbid attachment toward a person, I could not keep the wealth created; but I became aware that I’m wealthy! Very wealthy!! I realized that wealth is: have a good mental and physical health, have a physical body that I like, to have a job that I love, to have a woman I love, a family to rely on, have good friends, be in complete harmony with the universe around me, to have a faithful pet, have followers, living in the city I love, live outdoors, in the house that I love, to have had the opportunity to meet great spiritual teachers, have the opportunity to choose what I want to do, practice sports, eat healthy food, having the comprehension, be at ease among the people, to help others, being able to pass on to others my knowledge, have goals, have the possibility to use the money as a means to personal growth,

26 traveling to places where the universal messages are hidden; being happy, serene, joyful, blissful in abundance and health. NOW! In the moment when I realized this, it became quite clear that everything else is part of the journey of earthly experiences and is easily overcome; you don’t believe it? Try to do an analysis of all the wealth that you enjoy in life.

In doing, not only in possessing, you will find happiness!

We enter into resonance with our vibrational frequencies, we live the emotions that give us joy, abundance and health, we thank, we take our responsibility, we love everything that surrounds us; think positive and you will see that you will begin to also affect others around you and, all together, we will improve humanity.

27 Chapter VI

The use of psalms in everyday life

With the help of Father Giuseppe, a Cistercian monk, I learned to recite a psalm each Monday morning when I wake up, and it is a very beneficial and powerful tool against the pressures we receive daily unconsciously from the environment around us: envy, jealousy, sup- pression, subliminal messages, anger, apathy, manipulation; I invite you to evaluate the content and have faith – it works! I am attaching the contents of psalm 91 – My Refuge and My For- tress:

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”. Content if thou be to live with the Most High for thy defense, under his Almighty shadow abiding still. Him thy refuge, him thy stronghold thou mayst call, thy own God, in whom is all thy trust. He it is will rescue thee from every treacherous lure, every destroying plague. His wings for refuge, nestle thou shalt under his care, his faithful- ness thy watch and ward. Nothing shalt thou have to fear from nightly terrors, from the ar- row that flies by day-light, from pestilence that walks to and fro in the darkness, from the death that wastes under the noon. Though a thousand fall at thy side, ten thousand at thy right hand, it shall never come next or near thee; rather, thy eyes shall look about thee, and see the reward of sinners. He, the Lord, is thy refuge; thou hast found a stronghold in the

28 Highest. There is no harm that can befall thee, no plague that shall come near thy dwelling. He has given charge to his angels concerning thee, to watch over thee wheresoever thou goest; they will hold thee up with their hands lest thou shouldst chance to trip on a stone. Thou shalt tread safely on asp and adder, crush lion and serpent under thy feet. He trusts in me, mine it is to rescue him; he acknowledges my name, from me he shall have protection; when he calls upon me, I will listen, in affliction I am at his side, to bring him safety and honor. Length of days he shall have to content him, and find in me deliver- ance.

Thy will be done, not mine!

29 Chapter VII

An outline of personal experiences on bioenergetics

I was always being very skeptical about the spiritual path and the metaphysical, on quantum physics, until I decided to get involved into the topic, try it firsthand and to go beyond the limitations of my mind (and no other); it worked! I became aware of the existence of a universe of joy, abundance and health. We are a cluster of energies, our cells are light, we are light, we are a part of God and he is part of us, we are at one with the emptiness around us. Our physical body and our energetic body are in harmony but, sometimes, because of a sudden awakening after a nightmare or for external stressful influences, our vibrations shift down in frequency, our aura reduces its light and is out of axis, ceasing its protective shield function. In these cases, very frequent, it is necessary the intervention of the “energetic” people with knowledge in the use of psalms, prayers and in contact with the divine light, as they are capable to realign our physical body with our energetic body. Although it seems incredible it is very real, believe me, I’ve got to try on my own, benefiting from stunning results; I saw people move from situations of apathy or sadness to laugh or even cry with joy, all thanks to the power of light! There are also electromechanical aids which can help us rebalance energetically by controlling brain frequencies, ensuring that perfectly communicate with our internal organs; few know that, as a result of anesthesia for surgeries, dental or accidents, these frequencies may be subject to alterations generating serious complications. Even our chakras are susceptible to vibrational frequencies, sounds, colors, but, as the memory of the water cells, are reprogrammable in

30 order to obtain a better state of mental and physical wellbeing. Clearly modern medicine denies the effectiveness of this technol- ogy, but I wish that you have the knowledge, after which free will. In Eastern philosophy, traditional medicine is preventive (rather than curative as with us), so for a doctor is a humiliation if a patient back to him with an illness. Russian science has developed programs that can diagnose solu- tions via a remote connection with their astronauts when they are in space, whereas traditional medicine in the cosmos in the absence of gravity is not effective.

It is crucial for us to be aware of the messages we are receiving, we must become intuitive; recently, quantum physics is making great advancements and we have practically been showered with information until now hidden for millenniums. The mass media have diminished, ridiculed or transformed into surreal situations such documents and knowledge through movies, cartoons, video games, altering their real knowledge potential. Do not get distracted and study in detail the things that interest you, read, grasp data, cross your research with other sources or people, also belonging to different social classes or with different work experiences and study, the knowledge will clarify many doubts as it has clarified them to me and I recommend you avoid the television. Electromagnetism, the research of Tesla, have had great devel- opments; acquired data and news, research in-depth the correlation between the electricity and the climate; scientific research is at incredible levels also in regards to the potential to cure diseases, always say your own opinion on world hunger and increasing population, on global water reserves, the lack of a selfless and moral political class, have a role in saving of our planet, paradise, the garden of Eden is here because we are destroying it with our own hands! I got to meet with healers, people who believe and are in contact with the divine light, they do it for the mission without asking anything in return, using prayers since “the Light is always more powerful than darkness”.

31 Some of them have had the honor to stand alongside Yogi (an adherent of Yoga), of iridologists, or healers who have sent out their prayers to stop bleeding and to treat sunburn. The healing techniques of the shamans, the Essenes and the knowledge coming from the East; they are preserved by the Dalai Lama, but each of us can develop it through a “expansion of consciousness”. First of all, you can refer to the words of Confucius, sealed in his dialogues: “spirituality is a continuous relinquish in order to get down to basics and begins where religions end, isn’t the only exclu- sive way”. According to my experience, you must surrender to the cosmic flow that guides us with uncertainty and unconditional joy; this will be possible in the very moment when there will be clear that, prayers, psalms, rituals, masses, are just SUPPORTS, which allow us to connect with the divine. One day, in case of the need for survival, try without using these supports and you will see that, awakening the divine part in each of us, with a disinterested desire, focusing our thoughts for six seconds without being distracted by the mind, we have powers to do great things. And if these beings of light are the focus thought by a group of 7 people with the same vibrational frequency, in places where converge the telluric forces, the electromagnetic forces and the forces of sub- marine rivers (places such as Chartres ...), it will create a powerful resonance with the universes around us (mineral, vegetable, animal). Try confidently and frequent people with evolved positive thoughts! You will be amazed of the alchemical power that every human being possesses and is unaware of it! These men were Christ, Buddha, etc. Thoughts of Rudolf Steiner “Do not believe what I tell you but find yourself the confirmations”.

The knowledge I acquired in quantum science

I will summarize briefly the guidelines of what is perceived during the group work achieved with quantum physicists.

“Intuition, the source of wisdom.”

Quantum mechanics is the science and mystical unity, the sum of complementarity that modernization separates bringing the stan- dardization, endangering the biodiversity; the cultures must remain different, because the traditional people is not mystical. Different peoples have different foundations, different visions, hopes, connection, and diversity. Law is order! We can live because everything is one order, because everything is individuality, illness is not individuality! It could be said: balance equals: you to yourself, you to others, you to the universe, a perfect order like Egypt, that has a picture of the sky, the cause of everything and of the balance between nature and the world, the symbols are the codes of life, a unique creative principle God = individuality. He created the world, beautiful and harmonious, vibrating, in order and balance in both directions, as is the case with yin and yang, the main points of balance. Matter produces energy (light), an atom emits interrupted and os- cillating light, everything moves in the universe, space and time are of the same proportions, the universe is not inert, absoluteness, light (made of electricity and magnetism combined), spreads energy in the form of waves. Matter and light are the only values, the light is immaterial, en- lightening, it never rests, it is infinite, and it is a complementary duality of a higher world.

33 We have to be able to accept the laws of a quantum soul, as a new form of deductive communication, in the cosmic harmony; spirituality stands for a relationship, positive thoughts, analogy, correlation, agreement, actually impossibility to be individual, intuition. Intuition is necessary, it is needed that we learn how to reason with our eyes closed (dreams) and to solve our problems with the help of intuition; the elite, rising from the great schools, will very soon become inappropriate, we no longer have time to analyze, an intuitive and moral pedagogical structure is needed. It will be necessary to change the social organization through university changes, leaving individuality intact, not analogical, but with mystical “irrational” approach; actually, in nature, there is not a single opposition between matter and light in the cosmic law, crisis forces a change of mentality. The complementarity, the light, it was an initiator of spirituality in Sumerians, a minimalistic conscience, the nature of intermittent light, the notion of multiple births, the interference, the light foresees the future, it is retroactive, it is spirituality, the alpha and omega, the present and future, the master of time, a bright initiator, while the right hemisphere of the brain surpasses the spirit of death. In the old times, the D.I. initials stood for the initiator, light, present, past and future, the verb “to be spiritual” is the bond between the three time frames that travel kinetically from different aspects, one moment it’s dark, the next, quick; the message of light is clear, darkness and blackness are the most obscure. We have to sympathize with the time of divinity according to God’s apparition, to be in accordance with divine light: think the same, react the same, talk the same, want the same, live the way God would want you to live, the destiny of humanity comes from Egypt, the higher leads the lower, spirituality is seized through detachment from science, not from faith; the culture of Sumerians didn’t contain faith, it contained sureness! Light is immaterial, indestructible, light is the initiator that will lead us to the great sky, everything comes down to light, in the spiritual sense where the time limit does not exist, the atom is freed from

34 light, the life of light respects its surroundings, let us remember that, according to esoterism, you are always both the cause and the effect. We have a guiding star; God is the mediation between the star and the man, the light will return to his star to take new directions and guidelines. Concretely, we have the faith to say: I have no money, but I do have a project or: I have a plan and the money will come? We must remember what we were made of before we were imprisoned in a limited physical body, having to regain knowledge by emotions before we reincarnate; previously, we were a double pho- ton, divided during incarnation, universal bonding, there is not just one-time frame but more different times, resonance. According to Tibetans, the light can get to pass through matter at the speed of thought. The harmonic convergence of biodiversity law says that atoms are linked regardless of the distance, the thought control and increases the vibrations, the union makes a resonance and a propagation of the diapason and an inner revolution. The complementarity allies achieve astrophysics’ joy resonance by vibration, allowing the positivism and therefore love to become an unconscious situation like breathing. Dying means a change of level, is energy that goes precisely to a brighter level with a slower timing; since before we were incarnate we were light and to live the earthly life emotions, we are in the present. At present we have entered the fifth cosmic cycle of about 5,000 years each, being connected to the five elements, you need to understand that a mental shift must take place in us as a result of Earth’s changing.

My personal historical research

I want to invite you, as you read these my research, to deepen and to evaluate the arguments and texts dealt with in order to gain a personal knowledge and a stimulus to continue research without surrender and accept unconditionally and unconsciously all that is proposed to us by the media. Do not detest the idea of death, do not limit yourself to patterns imposed, do not be effect of the system, researched the truth and be yourself always and everywhere, fair and honest, ethical and moral; when you need it, ask for help to the divine light, which is always with us and available to help us and all those who are ready to receive it, have faith and you will be greatly rewarded.

THE UNDERGROUNDS’ OF SOLOMON’S TEMPLE

Some priests, before the assault of the Roman troops, had been warned of the imminent danger, and then they decided to hide what for the Jewish people was the most sacred temple in the underground, inaccessible as full of labyrinths and traps. You should be known that, according to the records, King Solo- mon commissioned the building of the Temple to a famous architect of the time, he had also collaborated at the Egyptian constructions. The heart of the Temple was a secret room in the underground, called the “Holy of Holies”, or the “saint of the saints”. In this room the king Solomon did preserve the most precious things belonging to the Jewish people, as the treasure, the Ark of the Covenant and the Laws of Moses. In this room and in other underground rooms, the priests, aware

36 now of the next assault of the Romans, they hid, as mentioned, all the precious and holy sacraments of Judaism. The Romans sacked the Temple, but did not find what has been hidden in the underground. Prior to this assault, which lead also to the total destruction of the Temple of Solomon, who as you know was not rebuilt, the priests made an inventory of all that hid, identifying where the goods had been hidden, to allow so, the future generations, the possibility to recover these treasures.

REX DEUS FAMILIES

Some of these priests managed to, however, survive the Roman troupe massacre by hiding in those very same underground tunnels. Unable to remain in Palestine, they migrated to Europe, scattering across the continent. They formed working families, wherein the “secret of the Tem- ple” was passed on from father to son. In each of these families, this secret is revealed only to the firstborn child upon his coming of age. These families were, of course, of Jewish origin, but throughout the centuries, these groups, that were always interconnected, under- went a true Christianization and formed a kind of brotherhood named “Rex Deus”. Some of these priests were able however to escape the massacre perpetrated by Roman troops, just hiding in those undergrounds and then, no longer able to stay in Palestine, they started reaching Europe, scattering the continent. They formed nuclear families, which were handed down from father to son what he considered “the Temple” secret. In each of these families, for all the firstborn the secret was revealed at the age of majority, and only to him. Obviously these families were of Jewish stock, but over the course of centuries there was a real “Christianization” of these nuclei, which were always in touch, and formed a kind of brotherhood that was called “Rex Deus”.

37 A secret pact existed between them: they were to return to the Holy town and reclaim what their ancestors, the ancient priests, had left in the ruins of the Temple, the underground tunnels and Sancta Sanctorum. As if by magic, such an opportunity arose some 1000 years after the fall and destruction of the Temple; the first Crusades, when the Holy city was besieged under the leadership of Godfrey of Bouillon, whose family was part of the Brotherhood. King Baldwin II (King of Jerusalem and brother of Godfrey of Bouillon) permitted the order of the first 9 Templars to use this mosque in 1118 (which had served as his palace up until that moment). This order was not recognized as such until 1129.

THE KNIGHTS’ TEMPLAR RUINS

It must be said however that the recovery of these treasures under the ruins of the Temple was to be carried out in the greatest secrecy, for reasons easy to understand. First of all, Muslims had the Dome of the Rock Al-Aqsa their religious main center, and arouse the anger of the Arab population of Jerusalem was not wise; and then the Jews would not bear that dug right under the ruins of their Holy Temple. It is then that the Rex Deus have the idea to found a monastic order and military, one of a kind: The Templars. Under the auspices of the great St. Bernard, who strongly wanted the Order, had also the papal imprimatur and by that authorization to take a stand in Jeru- salem, coincidentally just above the ruins of the Solomon’s Temple. The Knights Templar, in addition to police duties, could begin the work that the Rex Deus they had proposed. Therefore, considered the studies carried out and evidence gathered, we can clearly say that the Templars were the largest organization working for the recovery of religious archaeological finds of the Middle Ages. An onerous and difficult task, but that was done with great perse- verance. The time means to carry out archaeological excavations were cer-

38 tainly few and very coarse, but the Knights Templar compensate that with the ingenuity and the willpower. Once quartered, they began patiently excavations, reaching to a depth of over 30 meters beneath the Solomon’s Temple. The Templars dug a deep well through which they descended into the very heart of the underground chambers of the Temple, “the holy of holies”, the most secret room in the Temple, where, Jewish legend has it, the Ark of the Covenant containing the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God, is stored. The Templars dug a deep well and then immerse themselves in the interior of the underground of the Temple, until they got to the heart of the Temple itself, in the “Holy of Holies”, ie the most secret chamber of the Solomon’s Temple, where, as mentioned, the Jews kept the Ark of the Covenant containing the tablets of the Law, our Commandments, given by God to Moses. These underground were a real labyrinth, with blind alleys and tunnels, with traps and other deep wells, that reflected all the precau- tions taken to protect the Egyptian pyramids. But exactly what the Templars found under the ruins of the Solomon’s Temple? Certainly something remarkable and significant importance. Apparently, they found many documents, buried and hidden by the priests, a copy of which was carried by the priests not far from Jerusalem in the Judean desert, little more than 50 km, on the shores of the Dead Sea, at Qumran to be precise.

THE QUMRAN’S ROLLS AND THE ESSENES

This town is famous because in 1947, during a campaign of archaeological excavations carried out by the Israeli government, many clay pots were found, containing the copper rolls, named “Dead” Sea Scrolls. The town of Qumran was the capital town of a tribe, the Essenes. In archaic language, the word “Essene” has the meaning of “holy”. It seems then that these Essenes have taken away from the Temple

39 of Solomon many other documents, just before the destruction of the symbol of Israel by the Roman troops. In order to hide and protect them, they have placed them in the clay pots and then buried. Some of these rolls contained a precise and detailed description of what had been hidden in the basement of the Temple of Solomon. Is necessary to reopen the speech made on the two churches that were formed after the martyrdom of Jesus. We know, through the sensational discovery of the Gnostic Gospels of Nag-Hammadi, that James had said “the right”, which in Hebrew is called “Zadok”, or teacher of justice, which in Hebrew sounds like “Moreh zedek”. As previously mentioned, the manner in which the Templars found themselves these documents, among which there was one, the number 52, which reported the following words: “Under the southern corner of Zadok porch, under the exedra’s platform: pots used to collect the remnants of the tithes, the corn crop with tithes and coins adorned with figures”. Is necessary to open up again the speech made on the two churches that were formed after the martyrdom of Jesus. We know, through the sensational discovery of the Gnostic Gospels of Nag-Hammadi, that Jacob had said “the right one”, that in Hebrew translates as “Zadok”, or teacher of justice, which in Hebrew sounds like “Moreh zedek”. As we have already said, and it is also apparent from the Gnostic texts, Jacob was head of the Christian Church of Jerusalem, thus attracting all the ire of the Jews, and especially the priests of the San- hedrin. To sum up, in 62 A.D. James was attacked and murdered by one of the pinnacles of the Temple of Israel that was being renovated. Precisely, the Qumran scrolls report the birth of a group, which separated from the other Jewish tribes, called “sons of Zadok”, then the sons of Jacob, that those who continued his work of Christianization. In fact, the Essenes were the people who, more than any other Christian in the whole Middle East region, professed the Christian faith, true followers, before the Church of Paul, of Christianity in the proper sense of the word.

40 THE TEMPLAR KNOWLEDGE

The Knights Templar, therefore, have started to dig under the Temple, bringing to light extraordinary finds, like the True Cross, the Shroud and more. Perhaps they unearthed even the Ark of the Cove- nant and the Holy Grail, as well as documents of capital importance for the understanding of the Christian and Jewish doctrines. In other words, we can say that the Templars took possession of secrets that no one, until then, had known of its existence. The Knights Templar thus began with the digging below the Tem- ple, bringing to light extraordinary discoveries, such as the Cross, a shroud and many other things. They even might have found the cas- ket of the Testament and the Grail, as documents of great importance for understanding the Christian and the Hebrew doctrine. Conclu- sion, we can confirm that the Knights Templar mastered the secrets that no one until then had ever seen or that were even known of. From that point on, the Templar’s story is tinged with crime story, and the chronicle starts to become a legend. At the time, it was said that the Templars were aware of esoteric secrets and the magic of the Orient, that they practiced witchcraft. Although these assumptions may seem to some extent fascinating, there is nothing further from the truth. As historical texts and incontrovertible evidence, demonstrates that the Knights Templar had the knowledge and gnosis, which is, the penetration of the mysteries, a final goal. According to esoteric ideas, whoever possesses the Ark with the tablets of the Divine Law would obtain great wisdom and knowledge: we know how important was the knowledge to the Knights Templar, since it was the main reason why were later on persecuted and eventually tortured and killed. The ancient alchemy, the Knights Templar learned from the Sufis, ancient tribe of directly Sumerian origin, for example, is nothing but chemistry modem. Contrary to popular belief, the Templars did not shun everything that was science and knowledge. Being in constant contact with the Eastern civilizations, then much more advanced than those in Europe, the Knights Templar learned to

41 use very specific instruments, such as the astrolabe, and other mea- suring instruments, such as the abacus, to the study of astronomical and chemical sciences, in a word alchemy.

AFTER CHRIST’S DEATH

When Jesus died, things turned out differently from what is com- monly known. They formed two churches, one a straight line from Peter, a disciple of Jesus, but disliked by most, as to be forced by the Sanhedrin’s wise men to move away from Sion. The second one, stronger, supported by Jacob, who was appointed head of the Church of Jerusalem, with the task of carrying out the word of Jesus but at the same time not to knock too much the suscep- tibility of the other Jewish representatives, in the Temple of Jerusa- lem. But on the end also Jacob, like Jesus, was not taken seriously, and one day he was stoned, as is customary among the Jews, and then thrown down the walls of the Temple, the place where even today you can see his grave. The Jacob followers went into hiding, while the so-called “win- ners” took up quarters in the Temple of Solomon, and elected it as their religious home. However, the priests had reckoned without the Romans, who in 70 A.D. they assaulted the temple and plundered it, killing everyone they found inside, and taking away the guarded treasure.

THE FOUNDING OF MILITES TEMPLI

At the beginning of the twelfth century, the Patriarch of Jerusa- lem, in order to defend the Holy Sepulchre, (it’s better to say “the riches of the Holy Sepulchre”) hires thirty Knights; they are placed under the protection of the Priory and canonicals of Holy Sepulchre. Certainly some of them will become the “Knights Templar”. At this point, we can start talking about the Milites Templi.

42 Most probably upon the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. proclaimed by the Roman Emperor Constantine, who declare Gnosticism to be heretical and decree the Catholicism as the only religion of the Ro- man Empire. Note also, that the Catholicism relies especially on ig- norance and on simple minds, hindering and despising any kind of knowledge and inner and outer human progress. As a result, the Gnostics were enforced into clandestinity, as did also the families that they referred to the initiatory teachings of Jesus “the Essene” said “The Christ”, which took the name of Rex Deus. The Rex Deus – who apparently continued to practice Catholi- cism – were part of the greatest noble families of the Middle Ages including the true Anglo-Saxons of England, the Capetians of France (who claimed their direct descendants of Mary Magdalene – bride of Christ – and by Jesus himself) and St. Clair of Roslin (the race who built the mysterious Rosslyn Chapel). It was therefore no coincidence that the Knights Templar of the Middle Ages became a knight-military order founded with the support of the Rex Deus and then took custody of Christian gnosis, while maintaining about what – officially – the absolute confidentiality. Another gnostic current that came into direct contact with the Knight Templars was that of the Islamic Sufi, who were thought to have played a key role in building the Temple of King Solomon, which is also the origin symbol of modern Freemasonry. The mysterious cults of the Sufi, however, also accustomed to the Hebrew Kabbalah, merged with the Templar knowledge and these, themselves, merged into those of the medieval mason guilds, pre- dominantly known as The Children of Solomon, who were experts in the so-called sacred geometry, namely that discipline that attributed mystical significance to mathematical relationships in the creation of works of art and architecture. This Corporation of Masters was behind the construction of the most important Gothic cathedrals including those of Chartres, Reims and Amiens, so full of Gnostic symbolism which serves precisely to the initiated to hand down the tradition. It was, essentially, possible to preserve ancient philosophical and

43 psychological schools (the aforementioned school of the Islamic Su- fis), that were capable of standing up to medieval hypocrisy perme- ated by superstition. Basically, it was possible to keep alive the existence of ancient philosophical and psychological schools (such as the aforementioned school of Islamic Sufi), able to oppose the medieval bigot impregnated with superstition. All hidden… in the symbolism of the Christian Gothic cathedrals! That is how the first stories about the so-called Holy Grail came to be, which was none other than the handing down of esoteric teachings known also by Jesus himself, who was, according to this tradition, a Great Initiate to the Ancient Mysteries. Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland is significantly rich in esoteric symbolism. Built in the XV century by the Earl William St Clair of Roslin (n.b. that Roslin in ancient Gaelic language means “ancient knowledge passed down from generation to generation”), a patron coming from one of the most influential families of Rex Deus’ era, the Ross- lyn chapel is literally full of Gnostic, Rosicrucian and Freemason al- legorical symbols. Take, for example, the sculpted head of Hermes Trismegistus, considered by the Egyptians the God Thoth, as well as the arch outside the chapel decorated by several compasses symbol of Freema- sonry; but also the Baphomet sculpture – Gnostic idol dear to the Knights Templar.

THE PRINCIPALITY OF SEBORGA

In the mid-twelfth-century, the Knights Templar (enlightened by St. Bernard and ordained by the Prince of Seborga, Abbot Ed- ward) assume the title of Sanctum Sepulchrum, erected in Seborga the building “Mansion of the Temple”, which it cannot be said more, hosts and houses the Holy Relic, the Great Secret of Seborga, which they found in Jerusalem and brought here secretly. The legacy that was the fruit of over two centuries reached Sebor-

44 ga at the time of Cathar Johann de Usson, who had secured resources for St. Bernard and his Knights in their quest for the defense and preservation of the Holy Relic. A tradition, starting two centuries ago, reports the presence of (Bishop?) Johann Cathar of Usson at Seborga, which had ensured St. Bernard and His Knights of the Cathar’s contribution to the defense and custody of the Holy Relic. According to the Saint-Honorat Lérins Abbey cartulary at the end of the fifteenth century, by order of an Abbot Prince, the Cathar community will have to move to another location, which still has the peculiar name of “The Peverei”, not to be confused with another building, not far, perfectly preserved, called “The Cristiai”, also built and inhabited by the Cathars Seborgans. On multiple occasion, Judeo-Christianity and Celtic Christianity origins have been a considerable influence in the religious practices in Seborga. Now, for instance, the situation was different, the existence of the Holy Relic hidden in Seborga it was very well known to Saint Bernard, and that, according to him, could be jeopardized by the Cathars; this must have been his motivation of meeting with the Cathar Johann of Usson. This called for a strong and discreet initiative at the same time, worthy of the fame of doctor Mellifluus of our Saint; something new and at the same time acceptable, almost predictable: after the creation of the Order of the Knights of Christ, Pauper Militia Christi, branched off from the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre and their partial expulsion from the village of Seborga, in a convent built in the woods. Saint Bernard had absolute faith in the Knights, and knowing the truth, for the future will have to keep a discreet eye on this site, without ever naming him, unless circumstances make this necessary. This confirms the origin of the confusion and silence maintained about the Order of Sancti Sepulchri during seven centuries, attested by the geographic maps and chronicles, the unrequested and always maintained protection of village of Seborga by the Republic of Ge- noa and the Counts of Ventimiglia, the Emperors and Popes, kings of France and Spain.

45 In order to restore the Christian faith in Seborgans, which were take it too light, St. Bernard promotes the construction of a chapel on top of a mountain overlooking the Principality. Besides, this holy edifice was meant to stand up on the road, so that passersby who come to see the land of Holy Sepulchre have a properly Christianity reference. The primitive Chapel’s existence is confirmed by a sixteenth-century geographic map. Further on, the Saint Bernard has always stopping there for a special prayer and a religious function. Those loose stones, bears the testimony. As all of the above is not enough, it remains intact, however, the claim about the Saint’s attention to Seborga, together with the unconditional acceptance of the Secret that cannot be unveiled, stands the test of time. To protect it, St. Bernard leaves some men, who build an edifice whose ruins, now named “the Convent”, is clearly visible between old St. Bernard village and the village of Seborga. Actually, two Knighthood Orders were created by St. Bernard, one of which, the Paupera Militia Christi, was sent to Jerusalem under the leadership of Hugh of Payns, the other, unknown for centuries, the Ordo Sancti Sepulchri, is created after the return of Hugh with the Holy Relic and remains in Seborga to be keep it in Great Secret. It was, in fact, two of the first nine knights, Roral and Gondemar, were sent to Seborga (also called “Abbatial Principality Sepulchre”) in 1113 to guard the secret. We need to mention the letter that wrote Guigo I, General Prior of the Grande Chartres, to Hugh of Payns, calling him Prior. Perhaps this letter preceded the writing of De Laude Novae Mili- tiae (In Glory of the New Militias), where St. Bernard uses the term of the Master, but we cannot rule out that Hugh had both functions, Prior of The Convent of Seborga, and in Jerusalem the Master of the Militia. It is known and unquestionable that a common rule to all Orders, monastic or Knightly, indicating a fixed minimum number of founders, linked to the Christian tradition of the twelve Apostles and Jesus, also, for example, in the foundation of the new Abbeys: the twelve

46 Monks and the Abbot: “…duodecim monachi cum abbate tertiodeci- mo cenobia nova transmittantur…”. What brings to the world, this Relic? The San Bernand answer is unequivocal: wisdom, light, truth, peace.

WORDS OF THE LORD (The Qumran scrolls and St. John’s Gospel)

THE TRUTH WAS THERE SIN THE BEGINNING AND IS SOWN EVERYWHERE. MANY WILL SEE IT BUT FEW ARE COLLECTING IT, THE TRUTH DOESN’T COME NAKED IN THIS WORLD BUT IN SYMBOLS AND IMAGES, CAN’T BE SEIZED IN ANY OTHER WAY. HE WHO DOES SEARCH FOR IT, DON’T DESIST UNTIL HE WILL FOUND IT; WHEN YOU WILL FOUND IT, HE WILL BE YOU AMAZED. WHEN HE WILL BE AMAZED, HE WILL BE WORRIED AND HE WILL RULE OVER ALL. SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND. KNOCK AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN TO YOU. THE BEST METHOD FOR CONCEALING A SECRET IS TO HIDE IT IN PLAIN SIGHT! OFTEN THE POINT OF VIEW MAY BE FOUND EXACTLY BEHIND US DEPENDS TO WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.

THE UNCERTAINTY

The more things appear uncertain, the more I feel safe because uncertainty is the way of freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security. Will come in the field of all possibilities and foretaste the excitement you feel when you remain open to an infinity of choices.

48 In the field of all possibilities will experience all the fun, adventure, magic and mystery of life.

THE ALCHEMY

The alchemy in its essence: “finding yourself”. The key is finding our soul within each of us, “the unexamined life is not worth living” (from Socrates). There are three phases: NIGREDO, or the agency of black, AL- BEDO or the agency of white, RUBEDO or the agency of red. Even the cosmos is ruled by a triad of active principles, sulfur, mercury and salt – the soul, spirit and body – that is, affecting the 4 elements: air, water, earth and fire; basics for gaining knowledge about matter and dynamics. Adam was cast from clay, first of water, then of earth and finally of air with the aid of fire. The Philosopher’s stone was made from reddish dust containing the core of gold (sulfur). The universal medicine, liquid or essence, purified, see book Abraham the Jew (Paolo Pulcin). I suggest TUM-MO to anyone who wishes to deepen their knowledge of Tibetan culture.

QUOTATIONS

These quotations relate not to the end of the world, but to the end of psychological time: Jesus spoke of the 5 mad virgins (unaware) without enough oil (awareness) to light their lamps (presence) and thus stay in their grooms’ shadows (present moment) and do not take part in the marital feast (light). These 5 virgins differ from the 5 wise

49 virgins who had enough oil (awareness). One can live in a completely altered state of mind, living the present – now. (Eckhart Tolle)

Humans are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection. (Don Miguel Ruiz)

Living is easy with your eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. (John Lennon)

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. (F.D. Roosevelt)

Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world’s famine feed. Speak truly, and each word of thine shall be a fruitful seed. Live truly, and thy life shall be a great and noble creed. (H. Bonar)

To every man there openeth/ A Way, and Ways, and a Way,/ And the High Soul climbs the High Way,/ And the Low Soul gropes the Low,/ And in between, on the misty flats,/ To rest drift to and fro./ But to every man there openeth/ A High Way, and a Low./ And every man decideth/ The way his soul shall go. (J. Oxenham)

Father’s prayer (By General Douglas Mac Arthur)

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory. Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know Thee and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge. Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail. Build me a son whose heart will be clean, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; one who

51 will reach into the future, yet never forget the past. And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, “I have not lived in vain”.

56 PART II

THE LOGOS

Dedicated to those initiates who wish to discover further information without having to read a novel or a simple list of traits. This, in turn, is a collection of information available in several languages. There is extensive knowledge on Templars and Essenes, originating from ancient oriental civilizations and the light that comes from the East.

57 58 A BRIEF HISTORY

When we consider all this information, what we have in mind is a convergent bundle of sorts, as the aim is to admit the existence of the Order of the Temple and the so-called “Secret of the Order”. This means the existence of an esoteric community where access is granted only to brotherhood elite. The secrecy surrounding ceremonies are often described in an absurd way, and falsely claim that all esoteric groups have similar initiation rituals, and anyone who has partaken would know that is not the case.

MEDIEVAL ESOTERICISM

Anyone who thinks of the Middle Ages as barbaric and obscure will have difficulty embracing the existence of an esoteric community. We shouldn’t forget that a plethora of esoteric groups, or rather, secret societies, were founded in the medieval period following the rich esoteric tradition of the ancient times. These groups were plenty and blossoming in the 12th and 13th century, the days of the Tem- plars. Their origin is multitudinous: The Hebrew Kabbalah tradition; Gnostic tradition blended with the Enlightenment movement; and finally, Hermetic tradition from which Alchemists drew inspiration for their research. It is by no sheer chance that precisely at that moment the Catharist religion begins its growth, assembled by various elements of ancient sources rich with esoteric elements. The Church attempted to gain control over such groups, as proven by the numerous historical records of charges against secret societies and esoteric groups. At the cusp of the Crusades, many members of Western esoteric circles, such as the House of Knowledge, were convinced that the gnosis was located in the East, where the Byzantines, Armenians,

59 Syrians and Copts were. They also believed that ancient tradition was perhaps preserved within Muslim brotherhoods.

TEMPLARS AND ESOTERIC TRADITION

Historians specializing in Esoteric sciences consider Saint Ber- nard, a Cysterian abbot from Clairvaux an important figure, as he was, perhaps, one of the most unusual devotees in the Middle ages, if not in the Modern era as well. Templar tradition has it that thanks to St Bernard’s close relationship with Hugo de Payns, he got asked to come to Jerusalem to “over- see the streets for the protection of pilgrims”. He was one of the nine founding Knights of the Order of Templars, who issued an order to the Templars urging them to seek out teachers of esoteric tradition in the East. The Templars have, in fact, never ceased contact with esoteric groups in the Middle East, such as the Islamic Society, the Druze and the Assassins, whose leader is the famous “Old Man of the Moun- tain”. It should also be noted that the first Templars were accepted into a Byzantine Organization as part of the “Brothers from the East”, an esoteric community linked to St. John. It is a known fact that some Templars are dedicated to research in the field of alchemy. It is thus evident that the Templars did not hesitate to integrate elements of the “Secret Order”, elements originating from various movements, elements brought to life through a core vibration or thought. The first grand master of the Order of the Temple was also the leader of the “Secret Order”, but these two functions were not necessarily linked later on. We could search for the Name Roncelin, leader of the “Secret Or- der”, among the names of the great leaders of national armies or high magistrates of the Order’s provinces, but to no avail. We may presume that the most educated amongst the Templars,

60 those who showed skill in diplomacy or budget management within the Order belonged to the highest ranks within the order – the Secret Order or the High Learning Establishment. It is also known that the secret part of the Order had members who were not direct followers, but were affiliated with the Order in some way. Among prominent names in this field, it seems we are only capable of recalling the name of Florentine poet and politician, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), author of esoteric poem “Divine Comedy”, who became one of the leaders of the “Holy Faith” movement, a kind of third order of Templars. It is also true that the secret part of the Order joined the “Brothers by Craft” movement, the artisans and builders who joined the Templar Knights and who, once the Order of the Temple was suspended, contributed to the transfer of the Templar movement symbol to other communities, such as the French Mason- ry and Compagnonnage.

TRANSFERRAL

When Pope Clemence V disbanded the Templar Order in 1312, many of the brothers refused to yield to what they considered injus- tice and lunacy. They could stay in those states where they had been granted im- munity, as was the case in Spain where they formed the order Mon- tese in 1317. In Portugal they formed the “Order of Jesus Christ” in 1317; on the same day Lorena demanded allegiance to the Teutonic (German) police in Hungary from the Templars, where they remained until the middle of the 15th century. Survival was impossible in France and other states where all chance of sovereignty was stifled by the enemy. This is why many of the Templars who had been released from the royal prison decided to continue performing Order activities in secrecy. This was a solution approved by Grand Master Jacques de Molay, who had, a few days before he was burned on the stake, passed on the Grand Mastery of

61 the Order to Jean-Marc Larmenius, with the blessing of the rest of the brotherhood. Larmenius also took the title Grand Master of the Secret Esoteric Order, which granted him the possibility of going forward with the mission. All this was made possible by the papal bull given by Pope Clem- ence V, “considerantes dudum” on May 6th 1312, which freed all the Templars, obliging them only to return to a life of faith. An old parchment written on February 13th 1324 called the “LAR- MENTIUS CARTA” held the official, written proof. We are also at liberty to reveal that, due to the survival of this document, we have written evidence of the tradition of the current Grand Master of the Temple Order, and that the followers of Larmenius at the end of the 15th century were great gentlemen, and that the Templars in their surrounding were present during some national army operations. When we observe all this, it is apparent that the Order was the bearer of esoteric tradition, and survived chiefly to pass this legacy on. In order for the secret doctrine to be passed on, the secrecy of the Order of the Temple was endangered. Documents dating from the 18th and early 19th century prove the confusion between traditional esoteric activities and those relating to the godless world. This confusion is the cause of great conflict in France during the reign of Louis Philippe (1830-1848); these conflicts were, sadly, to blame for the deepened divide between the two movements.

THE NATURE OF THE HIGH MAGISTRATE A continuation of the OLD “Secret Order”

High Magistrate, as we have seen, continues in modern times through the “Secret Order” of the Temple. It aims to preserve and pass on universal esoteric knowledge, just as the tradition of the Templar Knights has it. It is knowledge that is truly the “Templar Secret”, “The Temple of Jerusalem” is, in that sense, the symbolic “center” housing the

62 tradition of the Templars. Universal esoteric knowledge or “Sacred Science” is as old as humanity and truly deserves to be called universal because it is present in all spheres and eras of life. Esoteric knowledge is the only true knowledge, even when it comes from different people and cultures, thus leading to different traditions, and this is especially the case for the High Magistrate. Although these traditions differ in their approach to teaching the Only Science, sometimes by focusing on a particular symbol rather than another, we can claim that esoteric tradition always retains its essence. It flows as water from a spring which, when it encounters ridges, branches into many flows, but still remains the same.

“SECRET” SOCIETY

“Secret Science” is not at the top of the theoretic aspect; it enters the realm of higher spiritual intuition, it reaches into the very heart of being, and can thus symbolically be called the “Heart”. It cannot be reduced to mere words and definitions, nor to dogmatic claims, passed on by signs and symbols usually present in myths. These signs and symbols, these myths, in a sense live through rituals, especially through enlightenment initiation rituals. For this reason, the “High Magistrate” remains a secret initiation community, and its activities are performed because of the revelation of the “secret”, attainable only to the “true believers”. One enters the High Magistrate by way of initiation. This ritual, composed of acts and symbolic “proof” of great dignity and a multitude of meaning, gives new members a spiritual up- lifting. The new member can, through personal effort and meditation, become a “true and legitimate devotee”. The initiation ritual does not inherently imply the attainment of knowledge known as the “infusion of grace”; it merely offers the impulse which places the individual on the Royal path of Knowledge. Apart from the symbols and myths, it binds the light that aids on the path to further growth and enlightenment. Such is the nature of the “High Magistrate”.

63 HIGH MAGISTRATE AND THE SOVEREIGN KNIGHT ORDER OF THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM

Today they are clearly distinct and there is no danger of mistaking one for the other: The Knight Order or the “Sovereign militant order of the Temple of Jerusalem” is not entirely kept in secrecy and its mission is in the realm of the spiritual: the protection of individual liberties and rights, the preservation of the ideal of brotherhood and tolerance, historical research, etc. The truly esoteric activities are performed only in the meetings devoted to the High Magistrate; an exchange is controlled by bilateral agreements. The High Magistrate welcomes into its ranks each human being, whether man or woman, who is truly devoted to experiencing traditional Templar initiation. That is to say – the High Magistrate is open not only to Templar Knights but to people from all walks of life, including those from other esoteric organizations of likeminded philosophies and missions.

We have to stress that the Knights of the Temple and the High Magistrate ARE NOT MASONIC DENOMINATIONS

A layman might wonder whether a correlation between the High Magistrate and Masonry exists, especially among the higher ranks of both groups. The answer is quite clear. Both the High Magistrate and Masonry are secret societies and their mission is, therefore, fundamentally the same. However, the two organizations have different backgrounds, and have entirely different perceptions of esotericism. The Order view of the Templar is where our current High Magistrate originates from. The Masonry Brother- hood, on the other hand, were passed on knowledge from the members of the Temple Order to guarantee the construction of cathedrals and dwellings, and have sought to pass this knowledge on from generation to generation, and they continue to do so to this day still. Cistercian monks, to whom belonged St. Bernard himself, is the

64 order that gave the basic knowledge of economics, philosophy and religion to the Knighthood; who could then use this knowledge for the development of manual labor such as agriculture, transportation, etc. To sum up, - where the High Magistrate speaks of conquering and preserving the knowledge uncovered in the Holy City, Masonry speaks of the construction of an ideal temple; - where the High Magistrate focuses solely on the rituals and symbols of Knighthood, Masonry uses rituals and symbols relating to the art of construction, and it only refers to ideal Knighthood and the Templars in its higher ranks; - where the Order of the Temple represents the center of Ecumeni- cal Christians, Masonry worships the Great Architect of the Universe; - where women “soldiers” where given the role of commanders within the Order and High Magistrate, Cistercian tradition acknowledges: NUNS, SAINTS AND ABBESSES depending on the role they have chosen whether in a religious sense or not. In Masonry, the R.E.A.A. – an ancient and acknowledged Scot- tish Ritual, well known in England, the highest rank was “Templar Knight” and women had the right to be initiated and no infidel could partake in the work of the Masonic lodge. In any case, no matter the similarities between these two organizations, it must be noted that there exists no correlation between them: each operates independently in its surrounding, even though they may at times share members. It should be kept in mind that the High Magistrate and esoteric unions in general have the same “pursuit”, no matter what their principles are, and that is: Universal Esoteric Knowledge.

THE PRIORY OF SION “Priory of Sion”, Frater Rosicrucis, Unknown Superiors

The core contains the current of thought, living energy, operation- al alchemy. Those are the places in which the sages from the old

65 Society of Ormus gathered for meditation in order to understand the secrets; it was identified as an society of initiation formed by the secret circle; it is considered to be a true Temple. They are present in various corners of the world, they do not talk among themselves, the reception date is January 17th, the Day of Saint Rosalia, their often-visited places are the reused former holy premises that used to be the underground chambers of the Templars, dedicated to Gnostic deities such as Isis, Mitra, Dragon, where there is water, whose principle is matriarchal and there are Black Widows present almost always, and they are the secret portals to Agartha. Some of the examples are Mont Saint Michel, Lourdes, Chartres… Santo Sacramento is one of the noble American bodies; the coat of arms is a red cross with one white rose, the Rosicrucian symbol, the number of members is that of the zodiac signs, 13, divided to 9 cru- saders of Saint Jean, the three Noachite Prince, the Grand Chevalier Nautonnier named Jean. At this moment there are 72 superior unknowns. The other mysterious coats of arms are the Cross of the South of the children of God from the Atlantis Island, the cosmic coat of arms Octopus that, with the help of solar motion, represents the matriarchal essences, the eight legs of the octagon, the cross, the wheel, the swastika; the other characteristic – the multi personality of some people that inspired the movies such as Arsène Lupin, the Saint, 007… Actually the anagrams on which the following theory is based: if you want to hide the truth, make it obvious! The rituals awaken primitive energy, the inspiration and aspiration of the cosmic energy, the principle of the cosmic vibrations, be it positive or negative, the duality of the vibrations of red and green, a man that shares the vice with the invisible when, in the concrete moments of equinox and summer solstice (or winter solstice), the bars of hermetical tradition are opened. Those kinds of rituals are performed in the three rooms where seven great alchemists do their work.

66 THE BLACK VIRGINS A CASE OF A SPECIAL KIND OF LOYALTY

I am Nature, the mother of all things, mistress of the elements, the beginning of ages, the sovereign of gods, the queen of the Manes, the first of the heavenly natures, the uniform face of the gods and goddesses… My divinity alone, though multiform, is honored with different ceremonies, and under different names. The first inhabitants on Earth called me the goddess Mother Pes- siononte; the indigenous Athenians call me Minerva; the inhabitants of the island of Cyprus – Venus of Paphos; armed with bow, I am Diana Dictynna for the Cretans; Proserpine la Strygienne for the Sicilians who speak three languages; for the inhabitants of Eleu- sis – ancient Ceres. Some call me Giunone, others call me Bellona; these – Hecate, those – goddess Ramonte. However, those who were the first to be illuminated with the ray of the rising sun, the peoples of Ethiopia, the peoples of Asia and Egypt, known by their ancient knowledge, all of these ancient peoples in fact respect me for my true cult and call me by my real name: “Queen Isis”. (Translated: Apuleius, “Metamorphoses XI”)

Even though Apuleius wasn’t seen during the second century B.C., he could have added: “The Christians also call me Virgin Mary… ”. They are, in the true sense of the word, a symbol of fertility, a symbol of human life, the fertility of land, and their black color in- trigues many people… We know that the original statue of seated Isis with her son in her lap was black, Artemis was too. All of the former Mediterranean religions in Christianity worshipped the female deities; hence, Mary is the direct successor of all those dethroned deities. The Celtic tribes in the Gaelic countries worshipped Belenus, whose sister and wife was Belisama, a black virgin. This goddess, the mother of fertility and life, represented unfavorable natural disasters

67 (drought, famine, storms), so she typifies both good and evil, creation and destruction, light and darkness. The uprising of Christianity, the patriarchal religion of Father and Son, didn’t succeed in overthrowing the cult of Druidism, deeply rooted in Gaul; striving to harmonize Christianity with the other local traditions, the church will introduce the cult of Mary during the Con- silium in Ephesus in 431. A.D. St. Bernard of Clairvaux was a great worshipper of the Blessed Virgin; he respected her and found her to be the bond between the intelligible and the divine, a necessary step toward the unification of the earthly and the divine laws. Some say that the statues were voluntarily blackened or made of a darker type of wood so as to represent the way of the Bible; the girl in the Song of Songs is “black, but beautiful”. St. Bernard created his own passion with the help of this laud; he would enunciate 86 sermons at least using this text that is ascribed to King Solomon, it is hard not to notice the hidden alchemic allegory… only a number of people know these secrets. The sacred art is primarily useful and pedagogical for those who have the eyes to see… black has always represented soil, offering us, in general, the idea of fertility and motherhood. The black color, hence, has a twofold meaning – it represents earth in two aspects, one that is unfortunate and destructive, the other one that is positive and fertile, standing for triumph of life over nothing- ness; all this leads to the black alchemist, when one passes from the state of godlessness to new life. In alchemical operations, matter is actually the first to transform by taking on different colors, blackening (decay), whitening (cleansing) and reddening (ruby was made of the secret fire). The golden color is for the symbol of initiation’s perfection, the transmutation of metal into gold. Churches were always turned in such a direction that it looked like they were “exposed to sun”, and much like in the black virgins’ vestment, we find the same colors used in great works: the first window directed to north (black, without sun), the second directed to south

68 (white, bright from the light) and the third directed to the sunset (red). A threefold meaning is ascribed to the black virgins, the survival of the pagan cults originating from the Orient, the survival of the Celtic culture, the art disclosed by the artist’s devotees of the Mid- dle Ages, in alchemic art. St Bernard, being a genius, came up with the expression “NOTRE DAME”! Under this name, until then unknown, all the cults that originate from different sources were mem- orized, accepted and sorted into a union, so to speak, in order to be able to coexist and fit into the cult of Virgin Mary. The Notre Dame statues are always presented magnificently, the Virgin sits in an aristocratic pose, princess-like, but on a regular chair, not a throne; her facial expression does not show tenderness or compassion, on the contrary, it is noble, sovereign, with dignity, the son’s face is less important since the most important thing is to show the mother. The vestment is blue, white, red with golden finishing, the colors of great symbolic influence; another alchemic symbol is the virgin’s milk, the mercury water. The proportions of the statue are in the ratio of 7:3, a sacred meaning, where number 3 refers to the different trinity of the Knights Templar and Druids, the three aspects of matter. History tells us that the earth was impregnated by the rays of the sun and by virtue of this, it was able to give life, and this is why the ancestors created the Goddess, a symbolic representation of the idea of woman. When it comes to the black virgins, the solar depiction appears only indirectly, many a time were the statues positioned on the places dedicated to Belenus (the Celtic equivalent to Apollo), or in the presence of the solar, strong bull, and the statue had a pentagon carved in its base. These statues are placed close to a water source, a well, a sacred tree or a vertical stone, places blessed with nature where a devotee goes to receive the physical and spiritual goods, these places are always set in the telluric veins and these forces can connect through hydrographic streams and cosmic energies; the edge of these areas usually represents the setting of menhirs and dolmens. A sacred place, before man starts using it, functions in a natural

69 state as a point of exchange between heaven and earth, many pilgrims in these regions walk barefoot so as to absorb the special energy better. Benedictines, Cistercians and Templars were the successors of the Illuminati Druids who discovered natural science, comprehensi- ble and practical. There are many hidden esoteric explanations in these statues, miracles that occurred in the vicinity of these statues reveal two concepts of things: on the one hand, the black virgin, that is, Mary the Christian, is oriental and Celtic, on the other hand, she represents the devotee road and the phases of the grand work of alchemy, a quick or a wet road; these two concepts often complement each other and intertwine. For example, toward the end of the 18th century, the pilgrims who departed for Chartres witnessed a mysterious rite and there was nothing Christian about it; after they said a prayer in the church and heard a mass, they descended to an underground crypt where they admired an ebony statue, Notre Dame below ground. This statue represented a seated woman with her child in her arms… Of Celtic origin, or maybe even Atlantean. The black virgins come from three regions, Celtic, oriental and monastic, they have a strong symbolic influence and they are comple- mented by Greek, Roman, Hindu, Egyptian, Indian, pre-Columbian, Muslim, in sanctuaries more sacred than the black stone, and the bull, the cult of will. In the language of symbols, unique and universal cognition are always connected. Since the beginning of time, too, the ancient civilizations in the vicinity of these statues would form a circle around them and perform rituals, the Druids and the bishops performed these rituals in front of a statue, a tree, a water source, fire… the circle of St John, of special importance. According to the Hindu, the Egyptian or the Greek tradition, a snake forming a circle means a universal way where it is the representation of magic, the initiator, the light; the snake forms a circle and, like a circle around a hermetical cross, to alchemists it is the unity of matter and at the same time the universal fluid or a constant renewal of nature.

70 It is not the circle per se that holds the deep sacred meaning; it is the circle in motion, a wheel, actually, for the devotees of extreme Orient, a twisting lotus flower stands for the ultimate cognition, in Europe, a round window (with a flower) on cathedrals means a ro- sette, a gathering of devotees, a wheel.

THE MEROVINGIANS

…I stood on the sand sea floor and beheld a beast emerge from within – a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns, each horn bearing a crown, its head covered with blasphemous script. This beast resem- bled a leopard with the legs of a bear and the mouth of a lion: and the Dragon giveth the beast its power, throne and authority. The symbol of a bear standing on its back legs depicts precisely this – the Ursa constellation, its link to Earth’s axis and the dance around it. Two bears, eleven bees, a lily – the motto goes “et in Arcadia ego”. Arcadia is equal to 127, the number of the Egyptian goddess Hecate. Typhonian or Draconic tradition comes from the secret Ordo Dra- conis doctrine – the Order of the Dragon, linked to the Rozenkreu- zers: “1408... The Court of the Dragon Sovereignty was formally re- constructed as a sovereign body in a time of war and general political discord. The re-apparition of the Court was requested by the King of Hun- gary, Sigisimund von Lussemburg, descendant of Lusignan Drago, King of Jerusalem. After succeeding him in 1397, he made a pact with 23 noblemen who had sworn to preserve ‘true and pure brotherhood’ within the Societas Draconis (later renamed Order of the Drag- on) in Hungary: Sarkany Rend declared in the founding documents that the Court members were to bear the symbol of a dragon curled into a circle with a red cross; the Rozenkreuzer herald”. Godfrey of Bouillon was the first Grand Master of the Priory of Sion. The ancient tradition of inheriting within Societas Draconis commences with Cain, who, as much indicates, seems to have been the son of Eve and Satan. Gardiner traced Jesus Christ’s genealo-

71 gy all the way back to Cain, descendant of Anunnaki: “One of the most interesting elements from the Dragon Court was the origin of the phrase ‘regal stance’. It comes from the highly primitive Sume- rian culture, where the term ‘regal stance’ was synonymous to the word ‘relation’ - blood ‘relation’. In its original form, ‘relation’ was ‘Cainbrod’. The first King of the Messiah Dragon inheritance was the Biblical Cain, chief of the Sumerian clan Kish”. Drago folklore has it that Cain’s significance lies in the fact that he was conceived directly from Enki (Satan) and Hava (Eve), which means his blood was three quarter Anunnaki. The blood of his half-brothers Hevel and Satanael (better known as Abel and Seth) was less than half Anunnaki, as they were sons of Adam and Eve. It is interesting that Arcadia symbolizes Heaven on Earth, according to Rozenkreuzer. Lilies were a Hebraic symbol, first discovered engraved on a coin dating back to Antiochus VII. It is perhaps where the idea for the French fleur-de-Lys, the symbol of Judea, comes from. It is possible that Fleur de Lys was an Egyptian symbol used in coin minting for Antiochus VII, the King of Syria who wed Cleopatra Tea, Princess of Egypt. (Antioch VII defeated the Maccabees when Jerusalem was under siege.) Lilies also symbolize the Tree of Life descending into the underworld (Hell). Coleridge’s poetry mentions the volcanic demon Tifo ejaculating onto the entire sky. The surname Plantard means “small tree” in French, depicting a young plant with its roots in the underworld, aiming to reach the sky. It seems that the lily is often present in ancient Egyptian handi- crafts. Observations of constellations clearly show that the Lily, or rather the Tree of Life, meets Osiris. The trunk of the Tree of Life symbolized the spine of the world, or the Axis Munde (“axis of the world”), around which the heavens seemed to revolve. This axis was the center of the universe. Osiris became the Axis Munde around which the heavens circled, he became the spine of the world, the link between the earthly and heavenly world.

72 THE ELEVEN BEES

The Great Mother Goddess of the Merovingians was Diana, who was a lesbian. She was always devoted to hunting and in the company of other young women who rejected marriage. The sacred animals connected to her are the bear, the bee and the cancer, all of which indicate towards the Cancer sign. The bee is also the symbol of Seth or Satan. There are 11 bees on the rim of Plan- tard’s crown; it is certainly a mystical number. Typhonian folklore has it that the Bear is the Ursa Major. Bears were Diana’s spirit animals, and the Merovingian kings, among them Meroveh (father of Hloveh, who converted to Christian- ity in 496) were the “pagan kings of the cult of Diana”. Bees, a frequent symbol with the Merovingians, represented in Typhonian tradition the buzzing that occurs before the fall of their ancient or natural monuments. The bee, scarab or cancer is the connection between the first man- ifestation of the existing Tyhpon and his final phases. 217 is the number marking the “bee” as is the symbol Seket (the name means bee). Seket is another aspect of the god Seth. There are 11 bees because 11 is a magical number and the number of Sephirot (attributes/emanations) on the Tree of Life, named Daath (Knowledge), which is also the “Gate” on the back of the Tree and Gods… There were 13 Israelite tribes: two in the Southern Kingdom of Judah (Judah and Benjamin) and eleven in the Northern Kingdom of Israel (Ephraim and Manasseh and 9 other tribes representing the sons of Jacob). Perhaps the eleven bees on Plantard’s crown’s rim symbolize this Kingdom.

THE BEARS

“The two bears represent the Mother (Typhon) and her son (Seth) [Satan]”. In Greek mythology, Callista, daughter of Lycaeones (whose name

73 means wolf), was the sister of the lesbian Greek goddess Artemis, the hunter – known as Diana in Roman mythology. The name Artemis seems to derive from “Arte”, which means “Bear, stone or from God” and Artemis/Diana was marked as Goddess of the Bear. Callista, one of Artemis’ hunters, lay with Zeus and thus gave birth to Arcadus. Other versions of the myth claim that Zeus (Jupiter) or his jealous wife Hera (Junona) placed Callista in the sky, where her constellation is Ursa Major and Arcades’ is Ursa Minor. Arcadia, the Greek region from which the Merovingians originate bears his name. The name “Arthur” comes from the Celtic – Ursus, or orso. Leg- end has it that the Merovingians were descendants of the Trojans. Homer states that Troy was founded by an Arcadian colony descended from Benjamin, who was captured by Palestinians and Israelites and charged for idolatry. One of the great Merovingian kings, Clovis, made a deal with the newly established Roman church. He was to defeat his enemies, the Aryan Visigoths and pagan Longobards, in exchange for rights to reign over the new Roman Empire as Novus Constantinus. Following Pepin’s orders, the Church approved the murder and betrayed the pact they had made with Clovis and recognized the rule of the usurping family. This culminated with the crowning of Charle- magne as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The marriage of Dagobert and Magdala in Rennes-le-Chateau on the South of France was the union of the “sea beast” (Satan) and the Holy Family – Jesus, Mary Magdalene and their divine offspring. The apocalyptic secret of Rennes-le-Chateau describes this marriage as the marriage of two “divine” bloodlines: The phrase Magdala does not relate to Mary Magdalene, but to the Magdalenic era; the last stage of the Paleolithic era. This era was known for its cave art, especially in the North of Spain and Southwest of France. The Bear God was worshipped in this part of France, and it was much later the Langdok, the legendary home of Mary Magdalene came to be. “Magdala”, it seems, was a derivation of the name of the city “Migdal”, situated near Alexandria in Egypt, where Queen Neba was known as Isis.

74 Siegbert VI was known as “Ursus”. From him descends the Bi- ancerotta family, to which, three centuries later, the Great Master Templar Bernardo de Biancerotta was born. BERA is the Anglo-Saxon word BEAR, derived from the Latin word meaning “wild beast”, “water beast” and “bear of the sea”. In the book of Genesis, Bera was the King of Sodom. A band of monks from Calabria (South of Italy) arrived to the Ar- tena woods in 1070, 29 years before the first Crusades. These woods were Godfrey of Bouillon’s property, and the group of monks was led by an individual called “Ursus” who founded the Orval monastery in France, near Stenay. It has been said that these monks lay the foundations for the Order of Sion, and were subsequently defeated by Godfrey of Bouillon in 1099. From 1131, it became one of the feudal possessions of St. Bernard. The history of the Prior is a long and complex one. Its beginnings are in a hermetic and Gnostic society led by a man named Ormus. He was said to have reconciled paganism and Christianity and was known as St Mark. There is a legend of black aristocracy, and their so called “blue blood”, thus named due to a great presence of metal in the blood. By using silver cutlery and dishes during meals, they release this metal and modify the vibrating frequency by reactivating chromosomes. Let us recall that we are what we eat; the pharaoh Imhotep, for instance, brought corn and vine leaves upon his return from India, which completely altered the eating habits of his people. The Bull sign (Taurus) represents the impulse of the illumination process movement; he is the great Giver of Light, impregnating minds with the seed of light… The constellations that determined the length and course of the first cycle of the Egyptian pharaoh society were Ursa Major, Ursa Minor and Leo… Leo symbolized the heart, Ursa Major, according to Egyptian myth, symbolized the magical “thigh” (or front right paw) of the Taurus, the other represents an enlightened mind and was named the “eye” of Horus, the route along which Ptah (God the Cre-

75 ator or the Voice of God) opens the “divine mouth and mortal soul”. Ancient Egyptian culture is based on a society existing before the fall of Atlantis. It holds the belief that the Ursa Major in Cancer and Leo are the final signs of the zodiac and that they represent thethori - um of Christ which will defeat the infidels. The Cancer is the image of the crab, and could be the image of the King of Kings victorious in his return, whose mission is to “give the understanding of a truly enlightened path that has been taught by all great religions and traditions taught from the dawn of time as the Path, the Truth and as Life”. The Bear is a mask for the true name, which means “Dove” or “THORIUM” or “Chariot”, the chariot for Arthur’s manifestations, the chariot of fire which Elia takes to the sky (Arthur is known as the Bear); doves are known as the vessel for the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit uses them to descend to earth and reign over its earthly kingdom. Jesus of Nazareth is, historically, one of the great souls we call Cristici, Son of God. It is said that his soul reached perfection in worlds different to ours, and that he was devoted to the great stellar system Sirius, whose evolution is far higher than ours. From Christ himself comes the Sirius Brotherhood. Each our thought will be light in a universe parallel to ours, a hologram we cannot see with our eyes but can feel, especially when we try to materialize through the subconscious through the pure desire for unselfish love and by fully focusing 10 seconds ... does it seem easy to you to remain focused on a single creative thought for 10 seconds without the interference of other wandering thoughts? Try it… The most important aspect is remaining positive and creative, thanking and congratulating yourself on achieved accomplishments (that no one but yourself can accomplish) …isn’t the saying – go for it? Happiness is true only when you share it? We are constantly receiving messages from angels, messages that reach us in various ways – through number sequences, images, dreams… have faith in the energy flow leading you, remind yourself by being thankful for free will. Even though fate is partially followed by karma, it is up to us and us alone to choose the path we want to take – the right path.

76 CANCER’S GATE IN THE HEAVENS

The sign of Cancer is a revelation of the Church of Christ, safe and secure in the sky. The Cancer used to be represented by impure creatures such as the scarab or the holy scarab, the Egyptian symbol of rebirth. The most ancient of Egyptians, such as Hermanubis, or Hermes, had the head of an ibis or falcon. The Arabic name Al Sartan, meaning one who owns or binds, derived from the Hebrew “to bind together”, shows that what God wants to represent in the sign of Cancer is the thorium. The word “church” comes from “circe” meaning “ring, circle”, (from the root words “arena”, “circle” and “enclosed line”). In the Druid cult, priests would move sideways as crabs do, and Diana, the Goddess Mother of the cult, bore the symbol of the crab on her chest. The bee is an emblem used in Mormon temples to this day. It is the symbol of Utah, the US state. Mormon doctrine has it that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Christ. Mormon religion in the US is rich with Merovingian ideology… Bees produce honey, the symbol of knowledge and wisdom. Napoleon joined the higher Merovingian ranks in 1810 by wedding Maria Luisa, daughter of Francesco II, the last Habsburg monarch of the Holy Roman Empire. Merovingian kings were chosen through magic, much like Samaritan wizards, and they firmly believed in the power of honeycomb – since honeycomb is naturally composed of hexagonal prisms, they considered it a manifesto of divine harmony, appearing in nature as wisdom and sagacity. Merovingians considered bees sacred creatures, sacred emblems of Egyptian magnificence, turned symbol of wisdom. About 300 gold bees were found sewn into the robe of Hilderik I (Meroveh’s son) when his tomb was discovered in 1653. The predecessor of the Priory of Sion was the Ormus Society, linked to the Alexandrian Therapists and the Essenes from Qumran (the word Essen means “king of bees”).

77 In the Qumran desert there is an ancient locality Gomorrah, a town God had forsaken for its link to homosexuality. The Essenes were priests of the Greek goddess Diana the lesbian, whose symbol was the bee. The Mother Goddess, known under many names, was best known as the Queen Bee, while the priests serving in temples were the kings of bees. Dionysius was fed honey as a child by the nymph Makris, daughter of Aristeus, protector of sheep and bees. Bees (as a lunar sign and as the Virgo) are the emblem of the goddess Demeter, Cybele, Diana, Rea and Ephesus Artemis. Bees are also found on Artemis’ statue (some of her priests were also Essenes). Pausania claims that the word “essen” means king of bees, which was what the priests were called. Christ was named the heavenly bee. Mithra, the Sun God, the Grand Revealer of Divinity, was represented by the sculpture of a lion who has a bee in his mouth… This bee is meant to represent the “word”. “Bee” was placed as the substitute for the light of Dabar, of which symbols are linked to the cult of Diana of Ephesus. The established symbol of this cult is the bee – the highest priest was named Essen, or the Bee King. Merovingians were descendants of the Dan tribe, and had the following symbols: snake, eagle, lion and bees. The symbolic nature of the bee is meant to represent the tribe of Dan descendants’ attempt to destroy the Judean tribe, whose symbol was the lion, and tribe of Dan’s intent was to have the golden era of world rule symbolized by honey become of the lion’s carcass. Spartans were descended from the tribe of Dan. Danaus sailed to Greece with his daughters, called Danades. In mythology they represented the cult of the Virgin Mother, which became the official religion of the Arcadians, growing over time into the cult of Diana. Spartans worshipped their king so much they called him Da- nai. Records show that Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair was elected Grand Master of the Priory of Sion on August 6th, a day of festivities dedicated to Diana. The Cancer sign in the heavens signifies Christ’s thorium.

78 TASAWWUF OR SUFISM

In Sufism, the goal is to perceive gnosis, or rather the cognition of Allah (that literally translates as Notre Dame), the freeing of soul from the material world through cognition (experience or discovery) directly from a deity, and lastly through the cognition of self. To acquire this knowledge, one needs a way of four great stages or “gates”: The four gates are: - Sharia, the law - Tariqa, the community, the way, the road - Hakikat, the last truth or the holy truth - Marifa, the cognition, the gnosis. The final stage is Marifa that one can accomplish only by means of gnosis, this gate is set in the center of Hakikat, in the center of the holy truth, love cannot be achieved if we do not commit in Tariqa.

THE ESSENES OF MIRRORS

The ancient Essenes state, maybe better than anyone else, the role of the human relationships, defining them by putting them into 7 categories: the seven mysteries that suit different types of relationships that any being should experience in their social life. The Essenes de- fine these categories as “mirrors”, reminding us that, in every moment of our life, our inner reality is reflected by activities, choices and language of people around us.

THE GATES OF HEAVEN

New sources identify Cancer as “the doors of men” or the gates in the heavens through which souls descend into human bodies. Kabbalists… announced that… those who come from Heaven, not of their own fault but by God’s orders, have the divine fire that guards them from the infection of matter and brings them back to

79 the heavens when their mission is accomplished. The real mystery is hidden in the earth; the road to this hidden world is the Road of Devotion. The top of Mount Meru (the place of Gods of Olympus and Hinduism) symbolizes the sacred mountain in the heavens, with its central part on earth and its base in the underworld. For Gnostics, death is not the cessation of physical existence, but the descending of the pure holy spirit through the progressing phases, named death in the material realm. Solstices symbolize the key to the gateway for the soul on its way to incarnation when the sun is positioned in the Cancer constellation. The Cancer was known as “the doors of men” through which souls descend into human bodies. According to Mor- als and Dogma, souls can ascend only with the help of certain spirits called genii, planetary or the Intelligences, since Argo means “ship”. We found out from the zodiac stars that the Virgin text PARITURÆ was found in Chartres on a white picture of Isis… along with the statue of Isis, there was a hut that… was a symbol of the worshiping of Isis… “The Ship of Isis” is the equivalent of the Argo Navis constellation in the south, and was also worshipped in Hinduism as Argha. In Egypt, it is seen as a ship in which Isis and Osiris sailed during the flood, Hinduism claims it had the same purpose for Isis and Ismar, calling it Argha, similar to its Greek name. Argho is a constellation that represents either Jason’s ship with its 50 Argonauts or Noah’s ark. When a pharaoh dies, he becomes a heavens’ rower; it was discovered that the 50 rowers on the Argo ship came from Anunnaki, the gods that ruled Atlantis. In Sumerian, the word “sky” is Anu, the God of the skies… Osiris is also known as An… Anunnaki… They were the children of An (An = sky); as famous as the great god An, the Argonauts wanted to find the Golden Fleece, the symbol of the sun. In the pagan interpretations of the Great Flood, the Anunnaki Ar- gonauts could escape God’s judgment just by sailing their magical ships through the cosmic sea, the 50 Anunnaki, Sumerians… A group of 50 rowers banded in one celestial ship… Noah’s ark is a concept similar to the one of Deucalion’s ark (the Greek version of Noah) and together, they are the magical ships in which sit “those who come from the magical womb” to once again

80 inhabit the world after the flood. Both arks, especially Deucalion’s, are the concepts that refer to Argo… It seems that the 50 Anunnaki wanted to marry 50 daughters of Danaus, in order to kill them, and the throne was guarded by a wolf. Danaus was confirmed to be Apollo. Apollo is none other than Apollyon, the god (king) of abyss. The remains of the non-fossilized wood from the arc found in Mount Ararat during an expedition were tested with carbon 14. They seem to be around 5000 years old. It should be noted that the hieroglyphic throne of Ast or Isis is identified with Sirius, and the number 50, as 50 Anunnaki were on the throne, much like in the famous holy place of the wolves of Apollo and Argo. The number 50 is connected to the Star Dog Sirius, as a heavenly throne. In other words, the mystery of Sirius B circles Sirius A in 50 heavenly cycles. The star dog, Sirius, was the aspect of intelligent creatures who have visited earth throughout the ages and preached the wisdom of alchemy from Egyptian mysteries to mankind. It is said that the sister and wife of Tutankhamun, named Ankhesenamun (Scotland), fled to Great Britain for safety, taking with her knowledge in her DNA. She fled precisely to where Scotland was then located. The wolf is sometimes represented as the dog. When Apollo appears and starts terrorizing the citizens of Argo, he did so as a wolf. The Sirius star dog is clearly a European substitute for Anubis’ canine. Apollo was the protector of wolves, and wolves were sacred to Hermes. Apollo was even considered Artemides’ (Diana’s) twin; she was worshipped in the Priory of Sion. The Roman Emperor Domitian thought of himself as Apollo’s incarnation. The name Apollo comes from “Abal” – apple. He is the sun-god. The name Avalon, the seat of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, is derived from “abal”. Man is imprisoned, but with the help of the wise man’s serpent… he found the possibility of escape through knowledge. (Gnosis is equal to knowledge.) Man’s true home is light of God… it is through this will and intellect that he will attain freedom. This is why the sym-

81 bol of divinity and immortality is alchemy and the various chemical experiments performed to turn metal into gold. The core motive behind these laboratory experiments is the procurement of information on spiritual nature so that mankind can surpass its material state. The Egyptian God Totes (Hermes to the Greeks) was the father of all mystical arts and sciences. His role was that of “messenger to the gods”. Records about learnings and practices were named “her- metisms” and during the Rebirth, they helped with the understanding of Hebraic mysticism (Kabbalah), alchemy, rituals, and communication with angels and higher heavenly creatures. “The fundamental idea behind rebirth alchemy and magic is found even in oriental yoga, and are the foundation for many New Age movements, such as hypnotherapy – where visual stimuli are used for mental health and cancer therapy. It is also present in other psycho-spiritual practices”. Alchemy’s job is the transformation of the physical self into a body of light. White gold dust, the “hidden mana” known only to the Masters… Alchemists view the Sharona plan as a plan of light and illumination, where the mind and body are trapped by matter. Through the Fire Star (gold of the gods) users were maladjusted in the kingdom of knowledge and consciousness, precisely because of the nature of melatonin and serotonin. Therefore, the idea is heavy person from high society (lead) can rise to a higher level of consciousness (gold); this was the root of alchemist tradition. Alchemists believe that consuming white gold dust (colloid gold) can alter the DNA, freeing the body from matter. Tracing back the obsession with alchemist gold, we reach the era of the Ormus, predecessor of the Priory of Sion. Ormus means light or illumination – alchemist gold. Ormus (or Ormes) is the secret name of the Priory of Sion… it gave mankind the most valuable secret, one that had captivated the greatest minds, hidden for centuries for the research of the Philos- opher’s stone. Ancient Greek and Roman writers used gold as the elixir of life.

82 An important metaphor is that of God’s descent above the highest seraphot Kether, the kabbalistic tree of life, the lowest sepharot being Malkuth – earth, all in the presence of the element antimony, which represents philosophical mercury. The TUM-MO Tibetan oriental yoga technique teaches kundalini fire renewal, which leads to a quick release from the physical world. The material body becomes pure light and the adept can be material- ized and disincarnated through the rainbow. During the final years of the Roman Empire, the greatest threat to the Gallic Desposynics, who had preserved the royal lineage of the Christ, were the Merovingians, the descendants of the male line of Fishermen. The Merovingians ruled what are now France and Ger- many throughout the 6th and 7th centuries. The era of their rise coin- cides with the era of Arthur’s rule. The name “Meroveh” comes from the German for “mother” and “sea”. When Meroveh was born, a mix of bloodlines streamed through him, but he was certainly descended from the Atlantidians and Lemuries, seeing how Bascian countries were located near to the Merovingian lands in the South of France. The bloodline of Jesus and Jacob (Joseph of Arimathea) meet in Arthur, and it is claimed that the Merovingian line brought about Hlodoveh’s birth. The holy Merovingian kings were not pagans, but enlightened men. Their spiritually cult was affiliated with the Druidic (Celtic) cult, and they were revered as esoteric Masters, healers and seers. Not only are they affiliated with the first Nazarethans, but they also kept many traditions from biblical times, even those stemming from the Essene heritage, with which Christ was raised. The Samaritan Wisemen were another group the Merovingians worshipped, and like them, the Merovingians became warlocks, believing in the hidden power of honeycomb and its basic cell structure. The basic cell structure of honeycomb reflects the central image of the Mormon Church, symbolizing the “working colony”. Philosophers considered honeycomb the divine image of harmony in nature. The bee is the holiest creation, the sacred Egyptian emblem and the symbol of enlightenment and wisdom (Sophia represents Mary Magdalene).

83 The Merovingian kings were secret followers too, followers of a secret science and experts in a rival esoteric art equal to that of Merlin. They evaded extinction by migrating to the Pyrenees towards the French-Spanish border after having amassed most of their secret knowledge through the remains of Atlantis. The Merovingians were often called warlock kings or miracle kings, a fact that speaks for itself. Their emblem was a red across which they bore either on their hearts or between their shoulder blades (Rozenkreuzer), on their front or back heart chakra. In fact, the red cross is one of the main symbols of the Holy Grail, placed above a circle, the sign of unions or the Original Creator. The Merovingians were often considered priest kings, divine in- carnations. The discovered skulls of the Merovingian monks show evidence of what may have been a ritual carving or indentation on the crown, artificial means by which a being can access spiritual insight through his crown chakra. Their tombs often contained objects less connected to magnificence, but rather to magic, witchcraft and fortune telling – for instance, a severed horse head; golden bull heads similar to those found in Egyptian tombs (the incarnation of Hathor, origin of the Taurus constellation); or crystal balls. Napoleon requested to see the entire Merovingian lineage in order to determine whether their blood line had survived the fall of the dynasty. He determined the existence of Noah’s descendants, which explains the presence of names such as Paris and Troy in France. It also explains their connection to Ancient Greece, especially the region known as Arcadia (the parts of the Main around the harbor known as Arcadia are actually the remains of the continent Atlantis). According to Ancient Greek history, Troy was discovered by a colony of Arcadians, which signifies the “bear people”. The Ursa Major constellation represents the “Great Bear”. The Gallic word “Arth”, from which the name Arthur is derived, partially signifies the Holy Grail and brings Arthur into correlation with the Merovingians. Clo- vis was granted the title of “Novus Constantinus” (new Constantine),

84 and was ordained to lead a united empire – the Holy Roman Empire. Dangobert married Mathilda, a Celtic princess, in the year 666, probably while still in Ireland. When Dangobert married Giselle, he had already returned to the continent and their marriage was celebrated in a convent in Chartres. Dangobert was the new king, and a mysterious figure named S. Amato, bishop of the Swiss Sion, was his advisor. The white bull was considered sacred by: Greeks, Egyptians, Dru- ids and Native Americans (such as the Tatanaka White Buffalo). On the morning of May 1st, the Ancient Druids honored the God and Goddess of Sun with a festival entirely free of inhibitions with initiations, sexual orgies, drinking and sacrifice. On May 1st, at 8 am world time, the longitudinal arc of 5 planets, the sun and the moon coincided with the geocentric division of 27 degrees of the Taurus constellation in the Milky Way of our galaxy, thus forming the Great Planetary Harmony. That day the planets were in harmony with the great central Sun of the Pleiades, across the current cycle of 11-year-old Sun spots, and they reached their peak. Many cultures, among which the Mayas and the Hopi, foretold the coming of the Great Planetary Harmony on May 5th, thus marking the new era of enlightenment in the year of Aquarius. The “reform of the world” will be a return to the mystical Egyp- tian religion infused with Hermetic magic. Egypt was an alchemist experiment aimed at reviving the lost society of Atlantis. Tot, also named “Hermes Trismegistos”, was the first great fol- lower who brought divine knowledge to this world. The Taurus is the great Giver of Light, who can impregnate the mind of mankind with the seed of light. In the Orient, a festival in Buddha’s honor called the Wesak festival is marked on a full moon, just as Beltane is marked in the West. Egyptians believed that pharaohs were the descendants of the gods of Atlantis, and that once the soul of a people or an entire civilization is connected to the stars, it can rise from the dead. Orion is also known as “Diana’s lover”. Tammuz was the name for the Egyptian God of the Sun, Horus –

85 the son and reincarnation of Osiris. Tammuz was also known as Nimrod, celebrated as the constellation of Orion. We thus have significant, existing evidence leading to a single con- clusion – the death of Nimrod in the embrace of the goddess mother of Babylon was a violent death. According to Hislop, Orion was the hunter Nimrod, who was Ham’s (the son of Noah) grandson… It is said that he was the first to gather mankind into communities. According to Masonic sources, Orion’s missing head and legs are represented as a skull with cross- bones, which clearly indicates a Masonic worshipping of John the Baptist (who was decapitated), and this is actually the cult of Orion (Nimrod/Tammuz). The absence of head and legs in the Orion constellation surely signify that he was decapitated and his legs were severed! A similar motive appeared half a millennium later in the burial of the Templar Knights. By adopting this burial practice, the Templar Knights became one with Orion, and implicitly Osiris. The “skull”, missing head and legs of Osiris, became an emblem of the Templar Knights, their symbol of recognition, Jolly Roger or the pirate flag. Hubert Anson Newton (1830-1896) was an American mathema- tician and astronomer; also a member of the Skull & Bones Order, which had taken over Yale University management. Orion / Saturn / Tammuz / Nimrod / Horus / Osiris /Anunnaki / Nefilim. Anunnaki, the giants who preceded the Great Flood, were said to have traveled through the Milky Way by a boat-planet named Nibir, or Mothership. Anunnaki, Nefilim in the Bible, who came to Earth to produce the human race (Genesis 6), moved to Orion after the Great Flood. It was Hermes who taught the Egyptians the Atlantis doctrine. The tablets of testimony… not to be confused with the Ten Com- mandments… as they are more affiliated with the tablet of the Anun- naki Destiny… This ancient archive is directly linked to the Emerald Tot/Hermes Tablet, and, as is marked in the alchemist documents in Egypt, the author of these scriptures is the biblical figure Ham, the

86 great archon of the Grail lineage. He was the founder of the mysterious and esoteric “underground river” which flowed for centuries and whose Greek name, Hermes, was related directly to the science of pyramid constructions – it comes from the word “herma” which means “pile of stones”. The orthographic alternative for Orion is Arion, or even Ariana, the Aryan race of Atlantis demigods, Nefilim/Anunnaki who had transported to the Orion constellation. The Aryan race theory confirmed the 7-step evolution of man theory, as our current Aryan race is the 5th root race succeeding the 4th, known as Atlantis. Merovingian blood is royal blood, blood of kings or the deity of Ancient Sumera and more… They used white monoatomic gold dust powder. Nefilimi are considered the fathers of Merovingians. Hesiod claims that Orion was the son of Euryala, daughter of Minos and Poseidon, and that he had been given the gift of walking on water just as he walks on soil. Orion has 17 stars, they signify 7 heads and 10 horns; the woman, the great harlot; the 7 heads are the 7 hills or the seven hills of Rome; 7 valleys around the White House mentioned after the Sun, Moon and 5 planets… the 10 kingdoms of Atlantis are immortalized in all ancient civilizations. In the number given in the Bible regarding the patriarchs before the Great Flood, we see the first example of a big agreement of traditions amongst different nations. Iranian legends start with the Kingdom of the 10 Peiseidadien (Poseidon?) …In India we find the 9 Brahmadikas, which make up 10 with their founder Brahma, and they are called the 10 Petris, or fathers. The Chinese have 10 emperors, partaking in the Divine nature, before the dawn of historical time. The Germans believed in the 10 ancestors of Odin, and the Arabs in the 10 mythical Aditi kings. All young Egyptians learned that Osiris, the Chief of Gods in the male human form, lived and ruled as the first King of Egypt. Osiris was, however, murdered by his evil brother Seth, who together with Osiris, Isis, Neftis and the elements Earth, Fire, Water and Air made up the One Egyptian God named Eneada. It can be said that he was 9 gods in one. As Nimrod had become the Orion constellation, after his death, the Egyptian god Osiris whose premature death was mourned

87 by Isis and all of Egypt was universally represented as the “soul of Orion”. Hindu Varuna, the Egyptian god Osiris and the Greek Uranus all symbolize the Orion constellation (Orion = Viracocha)… From this we can deduce that Osiris was Nimrod, the great hunter and uniter of mankind under a single religious pagan system, and as Hislop put it, was a prototype of the great original. Nimrod was worshipped in various cultures under different names: Osiris, Tammuz, Wotan, Viracocha, Quetzalcoatl, Varuna, etc. They were all king- priests who taught mankind about ancient mysteries and academic disciplines. Due to the supernatural powers and intellect of these divine beings, human civilization has significantly advanced. They all had to return to earth to revive the ancient mysteries and cultures existing before the Great Flood. Apart from Saturn, Tammuz and Nimrod, a correspondence exists between Osiris and Viracocha, the Incan Sun god. Osiris was tall, pale-skinned, bearded and dressed in long white robes. He was the first ruler who could walk on oceans, traveling across the world, bringing civilization to many peoples. We can, therefore, conclude: Viracocha = Osiris = Adam = Orion. Viracocha is similar to the Quetzalcoatl of the Aztecs; to the Quechua people, to the Aymara people, and the other tribes in South America known as Ameru, which means “snake”. It will come as a great shock for Americans to learn that the name “America” probably came from the word “Ameru” meaning snake-god, and not from the Italian explorer “Amerigo” Vespucci! Many high gods were indigenous god-snakes! The plains of Giza and Nile were actually representations of Orion and the Milky Way. After the Great Flood and their banishment from the land, Nefilims left the Sphinx, pyramids and Nile as markers indicating their position in the sky. Just as the three pyramids in Giza match the stars in Orion’s belt, so exist three pyramids in Mexico matching those in Giza. As above, so below (or beneath). Five of the seven brightest stars match the pyramids, the three

88 great pyramids – Cheops, Khafre and Mikerin match stars in Orion’s belt; Baka in Abu Rawash matches the Saif star; and the pyramid in Zawat matches the Bellatrix star. The Nile corresponds to the Milky Way. The main monuments in Giza form a precise map of the stars in the Orion and Sirius constellations, as they appeared in 10 500 BC. Masonry, also worshipping the cults of Osiris and Orion, wishes to restore the lost civilization of Atlantis. The ancient scientific records of Hermesa Trismegistosa, above all the book about Duat, studied by Egyptian priests, which claims that all that exists in the sky should be replicated on Earth in order to restore the ancient civil- zation of Atlantis. The opposite heavenly side of the goddess Isis was the star Sirius. The legend of Osiris is Satan’s attempt to forge death, resurrection and the future kingdom of Christ, the promise of eternal life to his disciples, who are named “Followers of Horus”. Eternal life for a pharaoh means that he is reborn as a star in Orion. With the “doors of the earthly god”, by “opening the window to the sky” and the “iron gates”, it seems that the hymn refers to a special place in Duat, as a portal through which Osiris and other pharaohs go. This portal is called “stargate” or “time gate”, and through it the souls of the de- ceased achieve immortality. The portal pharaohs take is located in Orion’s belt, in three stars. The royal room in the Cheops pyramid is actually in the position as the brightest star Alnitak, which seems to have been Stargate. The Great pyramid has numerous characteristics that, without a doubt, leave us thinking that the architects paid attention to stars and that they followed their passing through the meridian. The northern shaft from the Queen’s chambers was moved to 39 degrees and set on the Kochab star (Beta Ursa Minor) in the Ursa Mi- nor constellation. This star is linked to “cosmic regeneration” and the immortality of the soul. The southern shank, on the other side, was moved to 39 degrees and 30 minutes, and set in the bright star Sirius (Alpha Canis Major) in the Canis Major constellation. This star is, as ancient myth has it, connected to the goddess Isis, the cosmic mother and goddess of the kings of Egypt.

89 The northern shank from the King’s chambers was moved to 32 degrees and 28 minutes and is located in the polar star Tuban (Alpha Draco) in the Draco constellation. It is linked to pharaohs and the notions of cosmic pregnancy and pregnancy. The southern shank (of the Great pyramid), under a 45 degree and 14-minute angle, had the role of Alnital (Zeta Orion) – the brightest of the three stars in Ori- on’s belt the Ancient Egyptians thought was Osiris, their high god of resurrection and rebirth and the legendary bearer of civilization in the Nile valley eras ago, is called “Zep Tepi” or “the first time”. The Sphinx (around a half mile from the pyramids) faces the East, and on the dawn of 10 500 BC she pointed directly to her heavenly match – the Leo constellation. Therefore, on the Sun rising on the first day of spring in 10 500 BC, a connection involving the three pyramids was forged – between Orion’s belt, the Sphinx and Leo constellation. During the summer solstice in the year 2000, the Sun was directly over Orion’s stretched out hand, a moment previously marked in 10 880 BC when Atlantis was destroyed. Also, when Gilbert lifted the Ankh above the Great pyramid on June 21st in 2000, the sun formed a perfect “eye of Horus” above the pyramid. …The Khafre pyramid was crowned by the sun on June 21st. As the sun rises high up in the sky, the shadows leave and reflections can be seen on stones. This instantly gives the image of an eye in a triangle or pyramid. This glyph was used in the Great Stamp of the US. We have to wonder whether Franklin D. Roosevelt, who put the stamp of the US on the dollar banknote, had any notion of the symbol’s meaning. One can believe that he may have known, but he probably did not realize that God’s eye (Eye of Horus to the Ancient Egyptians, the sun) is found on the Khefra pyramid during summer solstice… “To see the rising and setting of the sun upon entering the pyramid…” In the year 1017, the “Stargate entrance” meant going through the heavenly gate through which mortals reached immortality. This gate might symbolize the Saha (Orion) just as was depicted

90 on a rock of Amenemhat III in the Cairo museum. What was depicted is a small figure standing with a script roll in one hand and a star in the other. This star or “S’ba” (as was the Egyptian name) has a double meaning, like a hieroglyph. On the one hand, it demarks a “star” and on the other, a “gate”. Therefore, Orion was correctly represented with something we may call “stargate”. Osiris marks the “place of the eyes”, his position in Orion. At noon, when the sun is directly in Orion, Stargate opens and Osiris goes through it, and the pharaohs ascend to the sky. This is the meaning of the all-seeing eye in the KEYSTONE of the pyramid on the dollar banknote. According to Hermetic doctrine, Orion determines when the stargate shall open.

STARGATE

Stargate is actually an ancient gateway to a cosmic portal, in the entrance of a cave, containing one of the oldest constellation depic- tions, known as Pleiades. Orion is Osiris; the God of death and resurrection. He takes on the form of a wolf returning from Benjamin’s tribe. Cain means king, as the royal line descends from him. Bees and bears are symbolic of nectar (nectar of the gods).

THE TAU KNIGHTS

The taumata cross was symbolically embraced by the Templar Knights in the beginning of their development. Templar noblemen had the inscription TAU in red sewn into their robes, which later became a cross in the knighting rituals. TAU is the last letter of the Hebraic script, and it means the fulfillment of creation, the individual which should carry the legacy on. The principle includes synthesis; it also refers to bread and the word of God, to physiological needs and spiritual enlightenment in accordance with the Evangelical words:

91 “Man should not only live on bread, but on each word coming from the mouth of God”. Some interpret this as a clue to where treasure is hidden. The members of the hospital order divided into fratres priests (at least one per palace), “servers” or “oblati” among which there were women nurses called “sorore”. There exists a third order with special rules that included infidels. Seeing how the streets were not only populated by merchants and pilgrims, but also by troublesome individuals, the Order members would always be armed with swords. That is the true history of the Tau knights, nurses, grave keepers, and nothing more ... they have no soldiers, merely sisters and, above all, they never became Templars.

THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY

The little and great bear are actually the Ursa Major and Minor constellations. Today they are better known as the Great and Small car. There is no Chaldean, Persian, Egyptian nor Indian bear in reality. What is most visible here is the thorium, which seems to have been the true meaning of the Ursa Minor.

Sion and Calabria

Both Great Britain and Italy had roots in Calabria. The belligerent Brutes, thus characterized because of their battles with the Romans, lived in Calabria. Augustus chose them in the year 40 to form the X legion Freten- sis, the so-called “cluttered legion” (from Messina), which enabled Augustus to defeat Pompeus the VI and Marc Anthony, so becoming the first Roman emperor. They were even named Venus’s legion as her symbol was the holy bull, worshipped for over 10,000 years in Calabria. The bull symbolized the various levels of love between a son and a mother, the fertility of soil, instinct in the service of the sanctity of knowledge, the eternal polarity between good and evil. The legion besieged and ravaged Jerusalem in the year 70, ruining

92 Solomon’s temple and taking with them the Ark of the Covenant and the menorah. These were probably returned later by monks from the Crati valley just before the year 1000. These monks were the inspiration for the First Crusades. We can assume that Joseph of Arimathea, the disciple who collect- ed the blood of Christ into a cup (the Grail?) arrived to French Britain or British France 17 years before the legion, considering that in this era travel was mostly done by triremos (a boat with three paddles) – which was arduous, but not impossible. Many British legends would have then been born in Calabria in the time of Norman dominance. These would be the men to later create the legend of the Grail and the many Marys that would follow Josepf of Arimatea on his path to France. Godfrey discovered the fortified abbey of Our Lady from Mt. Sion (Notre Dame of Sion) in Jerusalem in 1099, in the ruins of an ancient Byzantine abbey named “Mother of all emperors”. Sion means “stony place” in Hebrew. Mount Sion was, therefore, the rock of Mary, thought of as home, the gates to heaven. Ancient goddesses were always represented by sacred stones. The abbey was defended by the Knights of the secret Order of Our Lady of Sion. The Bishop of Calabria ran the abbey where, after the siege of Jerusalem, they wanted to crown Godfrey King of Jerusa- lem. He gave up the title of king which was, after his death in 1110, passed on to his brother Baldowin. Baldowin was forced to negoti- ate the formation of the Temple Order, especially since the Templar Knights had already served as the military and administrative wing of the Sion Order. The burning question is – who was the Lady of Sion? The Holy Virgin or some other goddess? The great Mary who had the Bull god’s power of life and death for centuries? She was all that, and more: Sophia, an ancient truth known and worshipped by the Tem- plars, represented a union/connection of Notre Dame with the Holy Spirit. For centuries, in the Mediterranean Basin, the goddess Luna was the sacred cow and her son the young bull, the young moon.

93 The goddess with a dying child, and who, as the seasons, is reborn. Monks discovered in those times that Sophia was the light of the holy mother, sacred wisdom, the holy dove of the spirit. The Holy Spirit was a woman; it represented the essence of woman, Eros. This truth was unspeakable heresy. They believed in it nonetheless, because in Calabria she was the most venerated goddess in places of worship in the South of Italy, one who had caused miracles for 2000 years. What sufficed was to change the name, not reveal true desires and all would be as before.

Notre Dame cult

Upon his return from the Crusades, Louis VII, had brought back many religious believers from the East, the Abbey of Notre Dame of Sion’s members, some of whom settled the Priory of Saint-Samson of Orleans, others were integrated to the Order of the Temple. Unrest was felt in the Order around 1161, as the sovereignty of the Great Master was no longer unanimously accepted; a divide was in the cards for the Order. In 1188 “The Cutting of the Elm” (“l’orme fut coupe”) and one of its branches “Ormus”, having as an emblem “a red cross and a white rose” was the origin of the Red Cross. The members of “Ormus” settled in Saint-Jean le Blanc, the Priory of Mount of Sion, under the protection of the Priory of Saint-Samson of Orleans, worshipping the cult devoted to Notre Dame. Monastic life never took place; the practiced activities were only those of initiation/religious organization.

The Ancient society of Ormus

The nature of the adopted organizational model, provides a philosophical lodge and in line with the Illuminism research. It’s more important to have a few members qualified and motivat- ed nurture these values, rather than having a large number of Chenon

94 members understand where we come from or who seek an affiliation spurious for the wrong reasons. It not linked to a particular church, do not exist in the interior of hierarchy stairs, the rule is based on the principle of equality. Emphasizes the sanctity of life and the environment that nourishes us and supports us, not by making discrimination based on sex, creed, religion, sexual orientation, class, race or cultural background. There are no privileged ranks or degrees, works more like a community or cooperative in which the views of each member shall be given due weight and consideration. It has “facilitators” whose role is to assist the group decision-making, promoting discussion on the theme and a steady stream of activities, teachings and insights. Favors more curious nature of consciousness to seek, to learn, to experience, to question and to enjoy the beauty and wonders of the universe. The Ormus society is free Illuminism, is one of the network nodes of several other groups and individuals who have voluntarily joined to work together to mutual support of each other under the banner of free Illuminism, aka Congregational Illuminism. Below we listed the four principles shared by those who identify themselves as free “Enlightened Ones”, (Illuminati) a term used to describe the initiates of the pagan Mysteries: 1. Spiritual growth is incompatible with the authoritarian structure. 2. The Illuminism requires a non-dogmatic experimental approach. 3. A society free communion must be continually innovated and updated. 4. Facilitates does not oblige, it sets to work without special re- quests for oaths, wage assignments or obedience to dogmatic beliefs. It is an ancient esoteric society, which guides the members in research to explore the inner aspects of nature, consciousness and the universe, not only externally, because things are not always as they seem.

95 Sometimes you have to dig deep to access the hidden views of Gnosticism that may be obscured by attachment to the status quo or limited by a lack of willingness to look beyond the veil. The aim is to pursue a continuous search of knowledge and greater light. This is not a sect, is not limited to a particular vision of the world, to a spiritual path, to a religious belief or a magical tradition. He supports the right of freedom for all people of good will with the sincere intention to join in the pursuit of the Great Work. The values and principles are: respect for individuality, creativity, compassion and diversity, we do not tolerate mental constraints. Among the goals of the Society of Ormus, there is a commitment to re-establish the unity, necessary not only to religion but, especially to people who self-destruct by dogma issues and identity of the fa- cade; instead of taking the awareness of the richness of their multiple inner truths, through research in the eastern ancient metaphysical traditions. It is the freedom to understand, balance and be able to comply with the Rosicrucian Gnostic alchemical knowledge, and therefore the search for the truth in individualism that inspires; without thereby denying the spirit and requirements of the Order of the Temple represented by the quality and defects of the Society of Jesus who take their power from the collective. The understanding of the evolution of thought Evangelical Order of the Temple, tolerating an ecumenical cosmic evolutionary view of the Rosicrucians; not subordinating to a church but joining.

96 PART III

MEDITATION THE PATH TO INNER PEACE

Awakening the divine spark present in us all is an effort to bring oneself closer to original vibrations, to transform the human mind through divine intelligence; trust and allow the cosmic cycle to guide us to improvement, for us and others. It is probable that the majority of people on this planet are not interested in this argument; nonetheless I wish to share with you the joy and peace I have felt in my life. All the experiences I have had on my path cross on the road to knowledge, freedom and wisdom. It is precisely because of this motif that we have organized courses and seminars at our Academy, to deepen these thoughts and offer everyone the opportunity to share the philosophical path before them. The main arguments followed by different levels on the Academy are: Eradicating the pain through the desire to once again stimulate the divine spark present in us all. Being spiritualized through the cognition of divinity. Kundalini, awakening the false identity, ending the cycle of suffering. Special thanks to brother Silvano and friend Kaivalya for taking me on this journey and to Dadashreeja for everything he has given to me and for what he does for the benefit of humanity, thanks to all.

97 Eradicating pain through the desire to once again stimulate the divine spark present in us all

In the instances when you feel pain because of something or someone, do not think with your mind, simply close your eyes and be thankful as if though the pain has passed. Should you feel helpless, don’t think with your mind, simply sit for a moment and close your eyes, connect to the divinity and allow divine light to stream through your body, thanking the Lord for his help. Express your desire to welcome the divinity within you, be honest, try to connect this emotion to the vibrations, be thankful as if though your wish had already come true. It is important to stress that all of our actions stem from good intentions, as we intend to do good to ourselves and others. Exercise good communication always, by using positive words and not complaining and criticizing. All humans are equal in their uniqueness; let us accept each other as we are and stop making com- parisons with others. Express your desire to welcome the divinity within you, be honest, try to connect this emotion to the vibrations, be thankful as if though your wish had already come true. It is important to stress that all of our actions stem from good intentions, as we intend to do good to ourselves and others. Let us seek out our “selves” by asking a simple question: how much time do I make for myself? Do I work for myself? It is the self only you can find answers for by seeking it in your heart and asking: who am I? Devote 15 minutes to this exercise each day. Nur- ture friendships, because friendships are giving and receiving, don’t forget about people, a true friend will support you on your journey to improvement and worry about what’s good for you and will offer you guidance when you step off the right path. They are honest with you, so you too must be a good friend to them. Surround yourself with good people, people your heart considers good, people in whose presence you feel relaxed and safe; the energy field surrounding you

98 affects you, so choose the energies you expose yourself to wisely. Practice communicating with God, enduringly; in this exercise you are entirely free to choose what God represents for you. Take shelter only to resolve old unfounded beliefs, clear your body, mind and spirit to plant the seed of “your own self” within you!

Clear your mind, body and deep emotions through knowledge

Cleansing can be done through five simple steps: silence, focus, listening, transforming what you heard into emotions, belief in the master guiding you through this experience. Being “enlightened” means being modest, free, natural, and unconditional: a simple observation of nature suffices, watching how nature cycles endure, following the natural flow of the universe towards love, peace and serenity. We are a part of creation in evolution, God is love, there is no need for development through other activities, “being” is enough, God wants to give us more, all we need to do is have faith and follow the path shown before us, remaining natural, uncomplicated and flexible. Let us remain natural and fluid each day, let us think as if though we were a water current flowing naturally day after day; an aspect worth remembering, as reason has dilemmas, but the heart is always certain. Spirituality, therefore, means accepting, staying natural and flexible, and without the need to be obsequious. The physical representation of God is when we feel a deep emotion allowing us to grow and leading us through that growth, helping us realize who we are as opposed to who we used to be some years ago, seeing how we’ve improved. This is the love we can accept, one that gives us purpose and direction in life. If I wish to change something in my life, above all I must say: I’m ready, if I’m willing to follow the divine flow to be free of suffering, I must know that experiences are emotions, not lessons. Understanding

99 God is the process of reconnecting with the divine current. Godliness is what we consider a limitless suprahuman, the highest universe in all its forms, experience. God is in the heart’s emotions, it is living the divine experience in our everyday lives. Godliness is living joyously, experiencing feelings as we did when we were children; it was an external process that affected our consciousness first, blocking our emotions of suffering through cutting off the divine current. The second level of the Academy is precisely the process of creating this connection with the divine in order to restore the unconditional love of God – creating is unconditional love! We suffer in life because we have lost the connection with God, and it is therefore necessary to restore is by recognizing it, becoming aware that there is more than just a physical self, a creative force, absolute energy. We must speak with God as routinely as we do with others. This emotion is easy, with direct reception, as love is a natural emotion. If we establish a constant connection, sharing each moment with God (even the commonest of experiences, such as a trip to the super- market…), this means accepting unconditional love and each form of protection we may need. The spiritual and material life always coexist in unity; God is always with us. Knowledge and communication create in us the emotion of love, which changes how we face life; we must always seek divine help in moments of suffering. Living the divine experience as if though someone were looking out for us; by accepting the sensation of love and peace, the coincidences of the divine current, the mind will be started by the divine process. We must accept this cleansing light emitted by the spirit of our consciousness. Life depends on the ever-present desire to accomplish something. We are that desire, the one for transforming mankind. Desire is part of creation, part of human life; it gives the emotion we then share. It can affect the world around us at any moment without having the world affect us. We are always taking signals when something seems unnatural.

100 Kundalini, false identity awakening, ending the cycle of suffering

Nature, unconditional divine cleansing, and breath – all this surrounds our spirit. The mind sometimes does things beyond our will, as it binds itself to the body’s emotions. The emotional memory of this reincarnation is such that knowledge becomes stored as in some kind of storage where each difficult (even incomplete) experience is engaged, some through the customs and beliefs of our parents/ancestors. We may notice, for instance, someone reacting negatively to a subconscious re-stimulation; in that sense it becomes hard to alter a naturally occurring habit, nature does allow for this option, but we have to ACCEPT IT, otherwise changing it becomes impossible! We want suffering; it wasn’t imposed on us by the law of God’s nature! It is necessary to want to be part of the discussion, to want a change, as there is no reason to live in fear and suffering; they’re merely painful information carved in during our reincarnation. A return to the connection with nature inherent to us all is needed. If we continue to re-stimulate the notion of suffering, the pain associ- ated with it cannot be manifested as anything else! This will continue until the moment when we decide we wish to change the paradigm. When exactly do we lose the divine connection? It is usually when we start going to school, around the age of 7. When are desires are over, there is a moment when we reach the goal and a new form of release. “The alteration of the human mind through knowledge or divine intelligence” is the goal which leads us and helps us help others and think positive thoughts. We are then diverted from material temptations, pleasures and greedy desires, as our frequencies seek to fulfill the ultimate aim. Attention, this process may be repeated throughout several reincarnations! Let us change the course. When we come to this world we only have one desire, shaped by knowledge, and we go through various external situations and reincarnations. Until we finish this “lesson” we must repeat again and again, attracting suffering.

101 We have all we need! It is enough to connect and always think positive thoughts; our priority should be to lead mankind through evolution. The time to act is now; the aim of life is to transfer the emotions of positive passion, being, above all, internally happy so that we could share this sentiment with others. The only cause of suffering is lack of love. We create strength ourselves and have all the instruments necessary to control our lives, remain connected to God and attract endless positive thoughts to share; nothing else can be salvaged if we lose this connection.

Godliness, transformation

Let us wake from false identities, identities such as “I am your father”, “I am your brother”, “I’m washing my face”, “I’m going to work”; let us leave all that and become the divine “myste” in our true nature. This great experience comes at a point when we have to recognize the right way that will get us to the goal. When we have a place to be, we can ask a friend that has already been there for directions and interacting with us, he shows us the path to take. Perhaps searching for the road yourself would be more entertaining, relaxing? Let us therefore be amused and everything will enter our hearts with joy, even if we don’t realize what has occurred on an emotional level, the heart will accept it immediately! The world changes for the people who truly wish to change and know the true meaning of life. You can fulfill your life with experiences, the universal goal being to rise to divinity, to live the experience of God’s nectar present in different geographical points, to become magnificent in order to live with great joy. No one remembers the first day of their life or the moment of their conception, or the big bang whence everything began; there was one divine union in different forms, a shapeless place. In that moment, energy and consciousness were expanded, this false world affected our minds. We were all, in fact, part of the first creator. The illusion of this “real world” has tempted us, not seeing that

102 all pleasure bears with it pain. It is a choice to go back to primal vibrations dating back trillions of years, and in this we will surely be followed… Leaving the critics to complain to one another, let us come closer to happy people and follow them. Each one of us is connected to a million other people. It’s a subconscious inner bonding; our very presence will bring it about and attract people to experience changes. These changes will occur naturally, but it is our duty to help others to find and awaken the divine piece within them. We have a purpose – to start this energy flow. Everyone has the right to an answer to the question “who am I?” and experience offers freedom. Everyone are one, the godliness within. Christ has changed the world; he started the change of current. The individual decision to live an experience is of utmost importance. It involved leaving the set boundaries of the human mind, the consciousness which detracts us from the duality, causing pain and suffering. A comparison can be made by defining the ocean – great, endless… a wave on the surface is not the ocean, merely a cyclic experience of pleasure and pain, comparable to the endless cycle of life… Now let us imagine diving into the ocean, closing our eyes and relaxing in order to experience the sensation of peace and freedom, as the waves keep to their ceaseless rhythm; in the moment we return to the surface, we revive the feelings of pain and pleasure. To dive deep into your consciousness is, simply, living the experience of relaxation, existing in the possibility to reappear, “riding” the waves and returning to the deep, without the confusion of knowing how to detach ourselves from the material world. The pain in people is caused by the lack of experience in the process of leaving in love. The connection with your true nature is godliness. The mind expresses itself and suffering, giving us a false identity (for instance we identity with “I am a doctor”) and not allowing us to accept our true existence. It merely entertains us from time to time, confuses us, which causes many to seek medical help for headaches, stomach pain and various mental problems. A physician, when we ourselves are doctors! “WE ARE AN ILLUSION!”

103 The first ailment of the mind is comparing ourselves to others – I’m better, I’m worse… such reasoning causes insecurity and suffering, because it has us determine a state of “being”. In the moment when we begin to understand knowledge, we are open to develop using the “universal mind” and turning of the individual one. The mind is always saying when something is right or wrong, but if we don’t evolve, nothing will. We won’t progress until we stop repeating “I can’t, I’m unable to…” In the moment of interaction, the same thing unfolds in various countries in the same way, adjusting itself to the places, customs, and traditions. Many people determine moral and religious values. God is not only one voice saying – right or wrong! This depends on the emotion coming from your heart. The time has come for a change, we charge ahead with positive thoughts, and if we are not ill, let us be joyous, as there is only one true path and there is no need to constantly analyze and rationalize everything. This also relates to work, where if we use our energy right instead of thinking possessively about problems and therefore intensifying them, peace and solution will come from the sun! All attachment leads to suffering, and in the moment when you think “I am the father of my mind”, “my friend is mine alone” or “this person belongs only to me”, suffering ensues. Nature brings us what we need, let us try to see how we’ve evolved in the past 5 years, we are not the same as we once were, and others around us change, as do the seasons, day and night, our loves and friends; that is nature, always mutable. It isn’t possible to retain affection for a person who was there in the past but is no longer here now. We must adjust to changes, prepare to change all our expectations, we are energy and energy is constantly moving, we cannot own ANYTHING! We have paid for goods and things but we will never own them, and we will suffer unless we accept that. Let us accept that we are present as guests, without the possessive desire for ownership; otherwise, we will never be free. Flowing through divine joy will bring us to everything we desire and we will learn to develop “being” by fulfilling our responsibilities

104 in life. Fear in our minds will bring about suffering, for example, we should change how we react to the natural experience of “what should I do” with refusing to think – I do, I listen etc. When we accept what occurs in a way as natural as possible. Where am I? – Nowhere! It is needless to involve the mind. Praying gives the same results as nature does – an expression of the divine nature. We needn’t do anything out of the ordinary; when we breathe, it comes to each of us unconsciously, without the need to contemplate it. Karma’s influence is the fruit of all our actions, what you do, you must accept and let go to exist as such. Let us release ourselves from karma when we feel it compels us to act. It might ask us to act, but it is not us who should do so! Let us listen and let it flow. The world as it appears is merely an illusionary reality, it limits perception which leads to suffering. Let us not allow ourselves to become limited; we are open and capable of valuing birth and the end of limitless universes. Let us not limit ourselves to our individual lives and experiences, but expand our consciousness to the experience of the spirit in other dimensions. Real life is within this life, it’s the one before birth, in the current, inside the planet in the galaxy. For instance, even though we cannot touch love with our hands, we can experience it as an emotion, which goes for all other things we cannot see but do experience. Let us close our eyes and try to embrace all such experiences in silence. Every- thing seems real, but it is only a hologram, a trick, an illusion. If we keep repeating – I am not a good person, everything in our lives will become marked by that! Let us defend ourselves, make our thoughts positive rather than judgmental, and know that whenever we move – nature moves. We must also keep in mind that when we are inert, so is everything else… It is like roleplay, let us not get caught up in this and get confused. Let us make each day better than the last; this is the divine agenda, we can change our lives and that of others for the better. Freedom is an individual capability and all information begins to bloom in each of us during the phase of morning repose. We embrace the messages of spiritual contemplation about what to do, nature has

105 no preferences and sends signals to us all, it is up to us to decide. Our passion will lead us to intuition, we should nurture faith and we will see results. The mind focuses on survival, causing sorrow and desperation; it is necessary to learn how to swim in the ocean, otherwise we will have to get out of it, but that might be impossible. When the message that calls us to react remains and our heart tells us to take action, let us! No one will come to our aid, it is a call and we should answer. Which is the right road to take? The one that creates help, changing us without releasing rituals, it is necessary to connect to our divine side, accepting to give ourselves to the current, the connection to God that comes naturally! Through acknowledgement and worship, it is a biological emotion, and by worshipping God we intensify the quality with which we RESPECT OURSELVES! Everything will become great; we will become great through the quantitative energy growing inside us. Thank you, Dadashreeja. There is no rule or law to follow; you must simply bear God in your heart for 5 minutes each day in silence, keeping your eyes shut. It is an ability you have to develop alone. Let us nurture the wisdom of silence and use it to create! The very acceptance of the divine connection helps the planet evolve. Let us always express all the positive thoughts we have. We all possess human senses; therefore, the human body experiences the suffering of its surrounding. If you interact with happiness and joy, the physical body will change as well. Each cell will be activated in this process. Let us express to God all the positivity we have within without second thought, this will lead us to a release from suffering, let us be freed from the emotional shackles that imprison us in order to be separated from energy knots. Let us experience things with divine love, everything is love with God, all experiences create the emotion of love. That is the true world – the presence of love. If you ask for love, it will never come to you, but when you discover that you yourself are love, everything will come to you and you will live the experience of enlightened love. Being in a state of love is not hard; an existence of unconditional

106 love within us suffices. It is the experience that will become a whole at any moment. Welcome to my magical world of love, happiness and joy forever. To Dadashreeja.

Kundalini

The sound “LING” activates the epiphysis, and with that the protection of our existence and body, by sending energy through the 7 chakras (chakra means active wheel). We possess different energy discs in our spine which activate many other parts of our body; each chakra has its purpose, a specific aspect, experience and color that differ from the others. The sound «Ohmmm» actually stimulates and opens up the third eye. The first chakra is in the groin area and connected to earth, where the energy is red. Its mantra is the repetition of LANG 11 times. The second chakra is in the sacral zone and relates to water, desire, the joy of living; its color is orange and its mantra is WANG. The third chakra is in the solar plexus zone and is connected to fire, power, ambition, focus. Its color is yellow and its mantra is RANG. The fourth chakra is in the heart zone and relates to air, with God in your heart, nature, emotions. Its color is green and its mantra is WANG. The fifth chakra is in the throat and relates to space and sound, consciousness, mystical experiences and visions. Its color is blue and its mantra HANG. The sixth chakra is located in the eye and represents the center for the beginning of astral projections. It is purple and its mantra is ONN. The seventh chakra is in the brain and is the most important; it is connected to our auras, life and body. It is white and the mantra is repeating Dadashreeji 7 times. Superior experiences come from here, as does the divine message, which we follow through meditation. When this chakra is activated, there is a total release. Each chakra protects the zone it is found in, in every situation,

107 through every emotion, incident or difficult experience that may block the chakra. In order to prevent the chakra from being blocked we must repeat mantras 11 times in a row during meditation. We thus activate each individual chakra and enable the flow of energy within ourselves; the energy of the emitted vibrations activates the chakras. When we recite the mantras we should focus our attention on the particular zone the chakra we are activating is in and we will see its color. It is possible to practice by activating a chakra a day. Practice may be done an hour before bed or when we are relaxing after a work day, even when we are simply relaxed in a comfortable position. It is very important to get comfortable with a mat separating us from the floor. After summoning God thrice, we should recite the mantra of each chakra 11 times. Our daily nature should always be expressed with a dose of joy and laughter, perhaps we’ve forgotten this… let us cleanse our ailed mind and sustain the relationship with what is divine. The constant presence of God in our lives will allow us to grow by way of peace, serenity and love; the light in our cosmos which surrounds us. Let us find awareness in our hearts and watch it be wrapped in the light of our auras. This energy is what we can gain from life, a divine treasure. The most important question in our lives may be “who are you?” We should go to the universal source and enjoy full freedom. By taking part in this illusion we become divine through knowledge and we engage in conversation with ourselves. We must use our minds… but what is our mind? It is: experiencing each minute of everything we engage in. It is possible to attain anything in the universe with the help of divine energy. Ultimately, when we do not live our experiences, it is because we did not want to! We are a unique creative power, which we should transfer on to others and thus change the world: plants, animals, creations, let us leave this planet, embark on a journey into the universe and make this our universal energy – creation, God’s body; let us travel out of our minds! The only obstacle is thinking this and doing it!

108 Being in sync with creation is a power we should keep with us each day, if possible. Let us use this power! God’s body, creation, unity – these are all internal. God’s love is universal, a creative emotion that is present each day. It is high time we took certain measures to become complete. Being uncomplicated and happy, without suffering, this is an experience granted by nature. Let us avoid the use of a constantly negative mind: not today, I’m not ready, nobody loves me etc. When we evolve, he helps all those around us do so too, we help them in happiness, unconditional divine love and we enjoy the everyday practices of love (I perceive love as freedom, joy, and serenity). Let us live this emotion – we each possess it, so let us show it! Everyone will ask for our help, money doesn’t necessarily yield the results needed as you cannot buy health or emotions, we have to LIVE in order to truly know “who I am”.

The symbolism of the twelve apostles

Many Christian stories regarding the first few centuries of Christi- anity revolve around the apostles. Until the people were evangelized, history and unusual facts were passed on by spoken word in religious communities or through sculp- tures, paintings and sacred memorials. The majority of the apostles was marked with a symbol (about which more will be said later on) and a special mission. We will see how the apostles were chosen to follow Jesus Christ. For Dante Alighieri and the presbyters, the educated men of the Middle Ages, available texts are analyzed through four dimensions: literary importance, allegory, morality and anagogy: - The literary sense is narration, plots in the fantastical world before Christianity. - The allegoric sense contains allusions to a different reality, rich with symbols and meaning. - The moral sense contains the lessons we all should learn from the sacred scriptures, trying to apply them in everyday life.

109 - The anagogical sense which gives the metaphysical aspect reveals a series of different yet parallel meanings allowing the development of angel hierarchy. The lesson hidden in the apostles’ teachings is a spiritual alchemy doable in practice to fight our inner demons. At the start of his mission, Christ had followers, students or disciples. Today they are known as “apostles”. It comes from the Greek word “apostolos” meaning “messenger” or “one who was called on”. They were called the “group of twelve”. The apostles represent the paths we should follow, one being the sun aspect of the mission, the other the lunar aspect – the two govern- ing bodies of creation: day and night. - Peter (Simon Peter) and Andrew, his brother (son of Jonin) - James of Zebedee and John Boanerges, his brother (Boanerg- es-sons of thunder) - Philip and Bartholomew (Nathaniel) - Matthew (tax collector) and Thomas - John of Alpheus and Tadeus (or Judas) - Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot (whom Matthew replaced once he had passed). There is a correlation between the apostles and astrological signs forming the Zodiac circle. It should be noted that the primary element is Christ 0 the focus, axis, founder and leader of the group of twelve. He is the light streaming through the knowledge of solar and lunar, appearing when it wishes to confirm that it is the source of life. We must then take into consideration that Christ represents all the distinctive 12 features of the apostles. Every zodiac sign includes two apostles, which corresponds to the dualism Sun/Moon. When solar light sets, lunar light rises in the horizon, so people would never lose the light of Christ. The roles ascribed to the Apostles are as following: For Peter and Andrew, the Leo and Cancer represent the principles of the Sun and Moon. The rule of these two principles is their domain. For James, son of Zebedee and John Boanerges, the Gemini and

110 Virgo signs are the places of Mercury energy. Philip and Bartholomew – Taurus and Libra, the energy of Venus. Matthew and Thomas – Aries and Scorpio, the energy of Mars. James, son of Alpheus and Simon the Zealot guard the Sagittarius and Pisces signs, ruling the energy of Jupiter and Neptune. Matthew and Judas (Matthew would replace Judas after his death) are in the Capricorn and Aquarius sign, rulers of the Saturn and Ura- nus energies. This road, simultaneously solar and lunar, is a succession of the duality of education and training (Mercury principle), creation (Ve- nus principle), realization (Mars principle), socialization (Jupiter principle) to structure maturing. Only after experiencing the working phases recommended by the 12 apostles will we be able to control our energy and return to our roots. A spiritual alchemy taught by Christ himself is at hand. Peter’s heroic path was about overcoming his own egocentricity, which makes a big part of the human entity. This work is devoted to lessening, not preventing such things, thus leading to a universal good. A broadened consciousness overcomes its scope and aims to project itself. This is the mastery of the solar principle. In order to control the solar principle, Apostle Andrew also had to control the lunar principle. Having control over these sensations probably means having power over one’s consciousness. One must shed light on his darkness – this is the mastery of the lunar principle. Andrew mastered the night, emotionally and instinctively, just as Pe- ter did in the solar field. Apostle James of Zebedee needed to teach both himself and others (Mercury principle) taking into consideration external knowledge as a means to fulfill his education about the world. Such a wealth of knowledge becomes a place of pilgrimage of sorts. It is the mastery and training of knowledge. Apostle John had to learn to accept the desire for knowledge without fear, and later emit this knowledge as love to those willing to accept it. Becoming a servant to the principle of light makes us beings

111 of light. The mastery and structure of knowledge is applying what we have learned by using the matter from this world. The learning phase is concluded by Apostle John. Apostle Philip guides us to a new world where the energy of Ve- nus is used. Creativity and personal expression in the organization of knowledge need to bring to life the dying principles. We have the need to use and renew our creative heritage and collective awareness to express our abilities and the qualities of our personal expression. Apostle Bartholomew or Nathaniel teaches us to harmonize remnants of the past for creativity to blossom in us. This is done by uni- versalizing our bases and integrating them into a new cycle, thus lay- ing the foundation for our future demeanor. This sixth phase contains the secret of Christianity and it predicts structures and new foundations. It is the elimination of that which is outdated and the creation of new doctrines. Apostle Matthew teaches us in this seventh phase to start a journey outside ourselves, outside the root “I” by transforming it into “we”. This is the time when we propagate the message of light we bear within ourselves. Here we are in control of energy by harmoniz- ing all the elements. Apostle Thomas compels us to change, to transform matter in the light palace. Thomas represents the path and changes that all who wish to change must embrace. This phase concludes the second third of the road, cleansing what has been completed and placing itself as the ultimate goal. It is the rule of knowledge and its application in the physical and spiritual realms. Apostle James of Alpheus invites us to take responsibility for our actions and our extremely powerful words. Each gesture, each word and thought needs to aim for the stars without use of earthly matter. We will become foreign to ourselves to shine in the best possible light on the surface of the world. Lack of control over our spiritual and material power in a godless world can lead us to temptation. Apostle Simon teaches us to come to terms with negative aspects in Pisces, such as: using mystic impulses and human dreams as “peoples’ opium”. Pure communication is at hand – words, strength which

112 releases or enslaves. The results are an expression of the purity of our hearts. This phase is about speech control, the energy and power in the world, the moment of WORDS. Apostle Judas asks us to look into our darkness and our memory. He invites us to abandon what we were always tormented by – this is about dying and being reborn as a better person. This is the phase of “letting things go”. It is a complete and necessary release before the end of the experimental cycle. Apostle Matthew marks the start of a new heroic cycle. As Apostle Peter started the first circle, Matthew started the second. Matthew (Aquarius) forms an axis with Peter (Leo) showing that they are one with the same energy; both the founders and cornerstones of the times to come. Te Aquarius/Leo axis is the tie between fire and air, symbolized by the epic eagle of John. Matthew is the premonition of the third millennium. Understanding and controlling all the circles is global consciousness. The six steps that shape all the apostles with their solar and lunar learning demark the 6 days of creation; the 6 days of the creation of the world, the 6 stages in the creation of man. The seventh day we rest in Christ.

A schematic representation of the 12 phases of the Apostles: Phase one: Solar mastery principle Phase two: Lunar control principle Phase three: Learning and knowledge Phase four: Control phase and the structure of awareness Phase five: Control phase and personal expression use Phase six: Elimination, installations of new awareness Phase seven: Ruling energies to reach harmony with all elements Phase eight: Mastery of knowledge and practicing the spiritual and the physical Phase nine: Mastery of the spiritual and material in the world Phase ten: The end of the preparatory path. Release phase, but also that of enlightenment and apotheosis.

113 Phase eleven: The time needed for a complete account of the experiment cycle end Phase twelve: Understanding and controlling all cycles. Aware- ness has become universal.

The roles of the apostles: St Peter: patron saint of fishermen, merchants, smiths and night guards St Andrew: patron saint of fishermen and ropemen St James, son of Zebedee: patron saint of pilgrims, travelers, soldiers St John Boanerges: patron saint of book merchants, printers, map makers, writers, alchemists and chemists St Phillip: patron saint of bakers, hat makers St Bartholomew: patron saint of butchers, leather makers and shoemakers St Matthew: patron saint of collectors, exchangers, bankers, fi- nancers, archivists St Thomas: patron saint of architects, surveyors, engineers, ex- plorers, inspectors St John the Less: patron saint of hat makers St Judas: father of the desperate St Simon: patron saint of sawmen St Matthew: patron saint of carpenters and butchers.

The symbols appearing with each apostle in Christian iconogra- phy: - Peter is known for the two keys he bears, one of silver, the other the golden, the keys to earth and heaven together because the possibility of opening and closing the gates to heaven was entrusted to him by Christ. He is represented with a ship (the symbol of Church), chains (prison), reversed cross (his suffering), a three- forked cross (papal dignity). - John is represented beardless, as he is the youngest of the apostles, with a cauldron (his punishment), a palm (suffering), beneath an

114 eagle (the writer of the Gospel bearing his name, the Apocalypse and 3 interpretations) with a chalice (knowledge, the drink of immortality). - Andrew is depicted with a cross in X (his suffering), with limbs bound by rope. - Matthew is shown with scales (tax collector), chains (his punishment), an angel (Evangelist figure). - James the Greater is shown with the shell of St Jacob (Santiago’s pilgrimage), with a cylinder (new rule), a sword (with which he was decapitated). - Bartholomew is depicted with a large knife (suffering), carrying his skin on his hands. - Thomas is shown with chains (with which he was tortured), and a finger pointing at one of Christ’s wounds, with an architect’s ruler (to build a palace in India). - James the Less is shown with a staff (he was the first bishop of Jerusalem), a hammer-shaped cross (with which his skull was crushed). - Phillip is depicted with a stick with a cross on top (suffering), a stone (he was stoned), and he is often affiliated with James the Less. - Simon is shown with a saw (he was severed in half). - Judas is shown with a hammer or halberd (his punishment). - Matthew is represented with chains (his punishment).

Just as the zodiac is a starting point in time, so is the road through the lessons of the twelve apostles, a kind of spiritual alchemy guiding and releasing. There are connections between Egyptian, Greek and Christian myths. The lessons they contain are and shall remain a firm foundation for the understanding of our human and spiritual evolution. By studying these legends, we find the instruments and roles of the twelve apostles, the twelve deeds done by Hercules in his own time. It is our task to control our instincts when they oppose our desires, to coalesce our being (physical and mental) and to guide ourselves to

115 becoming the sanctuary of God’s Light. The twelve efforts of the apostles, just like with Hercules, illus- trate the approaches, the internal struggles and temptations we must face in order to celebrate the mystical link to God. The realization of being comes through the accomplishment of the twelve deeds by the apostles and Hercules. The aim of this effort is to renew and heal what has become ill in our society that operates in a reasonable world. The goal is attaining the inner harmony of the soul in a world surrounded by the evils which have taken over. Zeus is the father of Hercules and his mother was the most beautiful princess on earth, and so Christ is in some way father to us all, the heroes in the making, the Virgin Mary is Notre Dame, our mother, mother of mankind and those that fight for humanity. The main virtues the apostles had were faith in themselves, the love for God and creation and the love for people and all that stands up to death. They banished demons, healed souls, but they never took lives as their predecessors did in an attempt to have people accept a religion (the Inquisition tortures). In order to fulfill their mission, they had to resist wealth and the temptations of this world, which some couldn’t help but offer them in order to lure them and silence them. Today, it’s the same – if you wish to truly devote yourself to God, you must escape the routine and glory of this world. This is necessary for the protection of God’s plan. A saint or hero needs to be pure and incorruptible. He must also observe the world without despising it, because the material is our moving force on earth and is needed for the fulfillment of God’s goals. The apostles are the moving force of knowledge, but they must be shielded from mystery, which is the guarantee of innocence that will salvage their authenticity through the ages. The dangers that lie ahead invite us to follow the deeds of Christ in this world or the other one, to not fall prey to our passions and the illusions of our society; we recall the kingdom of the fallen angel Lucifer. The Temple contains secrets of redemption visible only with inner sight, the third eye. The Temple was thus the place of all of God’s

116 births and rebirths, possible only within the invisible space where the solar and lunar principles collide, creating a unity with the source of light. Let us recall that the lunar principle exists solely because of the solar radiation on the Moon during the night and darkness. This source of light is in each of us, and we should consider all the practices an apostle performs as well as the one and only energy lit from the centre of existence; like Christ who is present but not visible in the centre of the zodiac. To live the deeds of the apostles – this leads to experimenting with God within ourselves. We are a cave, the cave wherein the treasure, the Holy Grail, is hidden. This is the starting point for the construction of “Man’s Temple”.

Thank you for reading this entire chapter which is so important; I thank Silvano, Kaivalya and Dadashreeja for my life and for learning all this, but above all, I thank the Lord. Not to us, Lord, not us, but to Thy own name give glory!

117 118 PART IV

RITUAL OF THE CHAPTER THE IMPORTANCE OF RITUALITY

It is very important to remember how fortunate we “gnostic”, you can use the rituals that have left us our predecessors. For every job level, they are used for different rituals, depending on the level of knowledge acquired by the members. The repetition helps to make a mechanical movement or a form of thinking and living, we take as an example the breathing, we do not think what to do or how to do, from the moment we are born we begin to breathe unconsciously for survival; This applies also to the actions that we carry out in daily life. Let us always remember the importance of the pleura, the fourth way, always remember, when we have problems or resentment that afflicts us, we close our eyes for a moment and just focus on your breathing, feel the air during the inhalations and exhalations; This will bring us the peace and lucidity (wisdom). The basic rituals that were and are still used at the meetings of the Commandery of the Order of the Temple, have a high esoteric content, I want to show it later to dispel all the rumors or gossips, not a sect or a secret society, but rather ‘the spiritual coaches groups; since our “chapters” meetings also allow the participation of guests “profane”, once consecrated places where the meeting will take place. In the Order of the Temple, ecumenical Order, also participate in the work of our chaplains belonging to different Christian religions. A Commandery is a group of brothers who meet in a territory of more municipalities, each group of neighboring municipalities have a working Commandery, all national commanderie do then head to the Grand Priory National.

119 In performing the rituals of our chapters, is read the prologue of the Gospel according to John, nine candles are lit in memory of the nine founding knights of the Order that they have given us the wisdom, the incense and the music of Non Nobis Domine is used, Ave Maria, Salve Regina, Templar march and other… and is shared bread and wine as the gift of the products that gave us the nature; this to remember that every action helps us to awaken our senses and our chakras. Sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, everything has a meaning. Now I’m not to bore you, and below you will find precisely the ritual temple, consult it and, if you want to come visit us during one of our ceremonies; you will be welcome. You will see that the dignitaries proceed to the Chapter held, The Noble Commandeur, the Master of Ceremonies, the Chaplain, the Speaker orateur, the Chancellor, the Secretary, the Hospitaller, the Tunesmith, the Treasurer, the Temple Guard; squires and novices will assist up to the time of the research work and metaphysical discussion, profane guests will enter the work started. Have fun dear brothers.

MUSIC

Templars we can put our gloves COM: Guardian, PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR! Brother guardian will open the door and said: GUARDIAN: COMMANDER, IT HAS BEEN DONE TO YOUR DESIRES, THE DOOR IS OPEN. In case of visiting dignitaries of the order, the COMMANDER adds: COM: TEMPLARS VISITORS AND FRIENDS (...) THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT AND YOU KINDLY REQUESTED TO FOLLOW THE MASTER OF CEREMONY THAT GOES ON THE SQUARE you back. The MDC appears before the Dignitary (if any more it starts with the highest rank) and said: MDC: TEMPLARS, Esquires, NOVICE ...... , FOLLOWING THE ORDER OF MY COMMANDER, Please KINDLY FOLLOW ME. The MDC is going to behind the Sacred Carpet, then stops to allow the dignitary to greet the COMMANDER. The COMMANDER responds to salvation. The MDC is slowly emerging, followed by the Dignitary and returns to its place. COM: MASTER OF CEREMONIES COMPLETE YOUR OF- FICE.

134 The MDC armed with his sword point upwards, appears before the COMMANDER, then exits slowly followed it, then by The Orator, The TREASURER, The SECRETARY, The CHAPLAIN. The Knights are still ORDER. The MDC then comes looking for them, then practice along with the Squires and Novices. Everyone stops at the foot of the Sacred Carpet, salutes the flag and exits.

END OF CHAPTER

Note: when the lights are on, the MDC mark the four corners of the rug sacred, every major office, against the Templars by circulating greet the ONLY Carpet sacred to the passage of the West against the East. 1) AGENDA FOR HOLDERS OF SWORD When the Temple was not dedicated and lamps lit: sword point in the air, and when the Temple was dedicated and fires: sword pointing down hand on the hilt. 2) WEARING GLOVES The gauntlets of steel that were presented at the arms, which are symbolized by our white gloves today, were not faring in Chapter. We do not wear white gloves so as to enter and exit Chapter. They arise when the imposition of three fingers on his sword at the opening of the ritual, after ignition of the stars and the opening incantation. They are recovering after the Chain of Love, to exit. During the Chapter, they are placed in the belt (no gloves are worn so that when space is not spent by the star lit).

135 CONCLUSIONS

I would like to end this biography by quoting the great Monsieur le Cinq, doctor Gustavo ROL. Where there is doubt, there is truth; Where there is certainty, there is no understanding. My way of living left me at first feeling afraid of solitude, isolation; but instead, I sensed a future where others would follow the path I take to achieve an evolution, a goal – to liberate mankind of all evil.

Not to us, Lord, not us, but to Thy own name give glory!
