Tides and Cycles

I was in South Dakota making an attempt at this vacation thing. Of course I had to meet the local Pagans and it just so happened to be a full moon. So why not get together and eat babies? The ritual went beautifully and we ended up starting a branch/franchise/house of the church.

While there I met someone who said "I remember you from Atlantis!" I nodded sagely while thinking "I remember you from the Happy House!" But to my great distress Atlantis began invading my peaceful interpretation of reality. Whenever I let my mind wander I start saying really weird stuff. Unintentionally that is; that's what freaks me out.

For example, while in the shower I said "Atlantis is the stronghold of the third wave." I now understand what this means, but at the time I really started to think I was loosing what little grip on reality that I felt I had.

So, the point: I will be blogging all of my Atlantis nonsense because I think it needs to be rebuilt. I know how to identify those who have lived the life of harmony and peace that I once did. I hope that I can reach as many of you as possible. And I hope to reach those new initiates to Atlantis and the Dream.

The Hawaiian Huna system talks about the creation of the Earth in three waves (forgive me for butchering this). The Earth was much like it is now minus all the people. A group of human-esq spirit like peoples discovered the Earth and became enamored/trapped by it.Their fascination was such that they merged with the local inhabitants. These mergers are remembered vaguely as mermaids, centaurs, and other humanoid blended creatures of 'myth'.

It was decided to save the first wave. So the second wave went to Earth and also became trapped. After much debate the third wave was sent. And here we are now, feeling like we don't belong. Yearning to return. Being the Bodhisattva and refusing to return until the first and second waves are rescued.

And so, Atlantis is the stronghold of the third wave. Atlantis is the way we were ment to live, our psycopomp.
I'm a mason. I am currently being brought up on charges of un-Mason like conduct. Although the charges against me are falsely founded, it got me to thinking:

Traditionally, a Master Mason, cannot be removed from his title. Being a Master Mason was learning the knowledge passed down from other Master Masons. One cannot unlearn what one has been taught. Expulsion from the order is a modern invention. As in a normal family you cannot expel your brother from the family. You might stop talking to him. You might not do him favors anymore. You may not come to his defense in his time of need, but he is still your brother. Likewise, when I joined the Masonic order, I became a brother. No act of man may remove me from the masonic family.

However, I am curious as to whether or not my oath will still stand. An oath is held by someone: I swear to my mother. I swear on my father's name. I swear to you. I swear to God. The person who holds your oath may release you from it. Does expulsion release me?

I am a Mason and I will always be a mason. Nothing derived from man can change that. I will now and forever maintain the masonic standards. But I believe the current Masonic order, especially that in America, to have strayed far from its original intent.

I therefore intend to bring the Masonic order back to the right. Back to its original purpose. What is its original purpose?

"My worthy brother of Tyre, as the Master's word is now lost, the first sign given at the grave, and the first word spoken, after the body is raised, shall be adopted for the regulation of all Masters' Lodges, until future generations shall find out the right." (From the Master Mason Initiation Ritual)

So how is it that the Masters work was lost? A modern mason would tell you that Hiram Abiff was the last person on earth to have the true word of a Master Mason. But this doesn't make any sense. It takes thousands of masons to build a temple. Many of those masons would have been Master Masons. So the word of a Master Mason would have been known by many.

It was through thought, prayer, and meditation that I came to understand what was lost: the ritual of King-Making. This ritual was derived from Egypt, and even further back, from Atlantis.

Israel exists as a northern and southern kingdom. Two pillars, Boaz and Jachim, represent the North and South kingdoms. Moses was an Egyptian priest. Egypt, exists as a northern and southern kingdom. Two pillars, Boaz and Jachim, represent the North and South kingdoms. Atlantis, some say, was two islands...

In Egypt, it should be noted, the thinking of pharaohs-even though spanning many centuries-was consistent. There did occur however, a sudden, reason-less break in this consistent thinking. New ways were brought to the Egyptian people. After this innovating pharaoh died, the next pharaoh attempted to restore the old way. But the secret of the king making was lost. Instead, the way of the people was well recorded memory and in stone.

During the initiation of a Master Mason. We we live the death of Hiram Abiff. Three men murdered Hiram demanding to know a secret. But what secret? Surely not the secret we are told upon becoming a Master Mason. Surely not a word to identify another Master Mason. But wouldn't it be beneficial to know how to bring a soul back from the dead and place it in another body to live on in eternity the same mind and soul? Would this secret be worth killing for? I think so.

The Masonic tradition teaches us that Hiram Abiff was last person on earth to hold this secret. But I disagree. In the Pagan tradition, as in the Christian tradition, trinities exist. I believe there was an old wise man who died, and three men sought to take advantage of this opportunity. Hiram being preoccupied with more than his priestly duties, having taken an interest in mathematics and architecture, was an easy mark. The Modern Masonic tradition teaches us that when the three men murdered Hiram the cried "What have we done?" The modern Masonic tradition teaches us that these three men were very worried because they had killed the only person living who held the secret. However, the ancient Masonic tradition teaches us that these three men were more concerned with what to do with the body than having lost the secret. They did proclaim that they had not got what they had sought. But they did not feel that all was lost. Was there then a third man in keeping with the tradition of Trinity? Was his name Moses? Did he flee, knowing his master would be murdered? Did he attempt restore his lost Kingdom? I think so.

Why is there this safeguard? Why didn't Moses make the Kingdom of Israel in his own image? Let us stipulate that the Egyptian priesthood was taught how to rebuild Atlantis. It now makes sense that Moses would automatically attempt to rebuild Egypt.

King Solomon built a temple. It is said the Grand Master Hiram Abiff was the lead architect in building King Solomon's Temple. Let us imagine though that the oral tradition has muddied these two time frames. Egypt, in keeping with two kingdoms had, in essence, two rulers: a High Priest and a High King. Let's imagine then, the High Priest of Israel during King Solomon's time buried all the secrets he was taught. Did he see his own demise coming? Did he remember Moses's story?

Either way, secrets were buried under or near King Solomon's Temple. These secrets were later found by a group of people known as the Knights Templar. Upon finding these secrets the Knights Templar found the pope for the hierophant he is. They broke away from the church. They began to organize in an attempt to reestablish Atlantis. The world was not yet ready for Atlantis. The Knights Templar were chased to the American continent.

It is believed that the secrets are still exist, hidden yet again by the Templars. Perhaps buried under a Masonic Temple in Scotland. May be somewhere here in America. The Knights Templar became the modern Masonic order. "Until future generations find the right..."
