“The Templars valued wisdom and would speak with anyone who would share their knowledge.  This was a dangerous way to operate in the Middle Ages when it was popular to persecute anyone of a different faith in Europe.  The following image is one of many from the Domme Castle prison.  It is a depiction of the Cabalistic tree of life.  The carving is not the only evedence of shared Judaic knowledge having been adopted into Templar mysticism, but it certainly confirms it.”

The true disciple of ancient Masonry has given up forever the worship of personalities. With his greater insight, he realizes that all forms and their position in material affairs are of no importance to him compared to the life that is evolving within.

Within the Mason’s own being is concealed the Power, which, blazing forth from his purified being, constitutes the Builder’s Word.

“Although our ancestors stopped building temples according to the original recipe over two thousand years ago, one building in particular sought to rekindle interest in ancient spiritual traditions.

After the founding Knights Templar and Cistercians (two interrelated Orders) gleaned the secrets of sacred architecture from the Arab world, they introduced the Gothic cathedrals to Europe. Gothic comes from goetia (‘to elevate by magical force’), whose extension is goeteuein (‘to bewitch’), and alludes to a science that generates an altered state of awareness. Indeed, under certain conditions, brainwaves inside these buildings are ‘raised’ 400% above normal waking state.

Part of the formula is hardwired in the details. For example, initiates of the Chartres Mysteries School would be taken to the nearby cathedral where the knowledge would be revealed, such as the mathematics of the music scale; 32.72º (the angle of repose/gravity); 19.47º (the angle of energy upwelling on planets); and 23.3º (the mean axial tilt of the Earth).

A sermon in stone? Absolutely.”

“This Knights Templar grave stone is believed to be the oldest grave stone in St. Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney. There is the iconic sword carving used often to denote a fallen Templar. Also adorning the grave stone is the flower of life, an ancient Mesopotamian symbol often found on 1st century Jewish ossuaries. Some equate this symbol with the Morning Star, Venus, the Queen of Heaven that the Templars revered.” - Hayley Alison Ramsey

“In a near-sighted world we might learn much from the ancient Greek philosophers.

Asked why he lived, Pythagoras replied: "To look at heaven and nature." Accused of caring nothing for his kin and his own city, Anaxagoras pointed at the sky and said: "There is my country."”
