Modern day Blue Lodge Freemasonry (First 3 Degrees) is a revival of the Ancient Khemetic Mystery Schools and their Rites and Rituals which were preformed at the Great Pyramid of Giza and are inscribed in these monuments by the symbolic form they take which is where all the great philosophers, teachers and Spiritual leaders of old where initiated into the Sacred Sciences of which developed the backbone of what is today known as the Western Mystery Tradition, Hermeticism, Kabbalism, Modern Freemasonry, Alchemy, Tarot etc… It is also where Pythagoras was taught the 7 Liberal Arts which are a method for discovering first Principles that is the basis of any real education.
The 3 Degrees of the Blue Lodge, Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craftsman and Master Mason correspond to the 3 chambers of the Great Pyramid, the 3 levels of the Triune Brain and the 3 paths on the middle pillar of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
The Entered Apprentice Degree which corresponds to the subterranean chamber, the reptilian brain and the path represented by the world on the middle pillar of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life is where the Initiate was taught there is a Spiritual nature to creation and more to reality than the 5 senses, hence Kabbalistically this could be looked at as the breaking of the World or materialistic view of reality.
The Fellow Craftsman Degree which corresponds to the queens chamber, the limbic system of the brain and the path on the middle pillar of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life represented by the temperance card is where the initiate would have their first mystical experience and be entrusted with the 7 Hermetic Principles, which are the key to coming to a understanding of reality.
The Master Mason Degree corresponds to the kings chamber, the neo cortex of the brain and the path on the middle pillar of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life represented by the high priestess tarot card. As you can see in the kings chamber is a large coffin and there is also a coffin in the Master Mason tracing board of modern day Freemasonry. In this degree the initiate underwent a death and was reborn into the truth of the immortality of the Soul and that there is no separation from God.
As you can see true education is the teaching of true Spirituality, where one comes to know God and their immortal nature of their Soul, they are taught the proper sciences of thinking being the 7 Liberal Arts and Hermetic Qabalah and become fully self conscious Co-creators with God or the ONE GREAT SPIRIT. The day has come where all man, woman and child are taught the Truth, and it is not kept hidden by a select few to rule over humanity with a knowledge based power differential. Once this wisdom is propagated as true education for the masses humanity (Universal Brotherhood) will evolve at a never before seen pace, the world will become heaven on earth, fully manifested and all the problems and ills of government (socialisms) the world will disappear once and for all. This is the task at hand the One Great Work the “Magnum Opus” and by working together united in our task in the righteousness of the ONE GREAT SPIRIT we can and will bring an end to the evil that has plagued mankind for 50,000 ya. This does not mean that ALL wrongs will stop but it does mean that we will NOT have a society that is based upon moral relativism and the dogma of mans “authority.”
Just watched your “mystery of the history” YEE~HA~HA~HA:))) My first mystery school was A.M.O.RC. that was in high school. Once ones unfolding blossoms,it is a beautiful progression to the mountain,I tip my hat and cheer you on :)))
U go Brandon! Just read your article about totems,after many years trucking health food across the native reservations,had the urge to build kachina masks from motorcycle,found car parts,and a deep interest in ritual,to quote Jim Morrison “One of those Indians were running around freaking out and leaped into his soul…and he’s still there.” My feeling is to animate the totems in your heart from the beauty that surrounds us,encourage spiritual inheritance to counter balance inter-generational trauma,and build appropriate totems
