And as Melchisedec, King of Salem Salem means Peace, and Priest of God, ministered to Abraham, the father of nations, when mankind was yet in its infancy, so shall this new Light combine in Himself the dual office of King and Priest after the order of Melchisedec. Hiram was again conducted to the surface of the earth and as he walked from the scene of his shattered ambition, the conspirators set upon and fatally wounded him; but before he expired, he hid the hammer and disc upon which he had inscribed the Word.
This was never found until ages later when Hiram, "the widow's Son," was reborn as Lazarus and became the friend and pupil of the Lion of Judah, who raised him from death through initiation. Therefore Hiram took his place among the immortals under the new and symbolical name Christian Rosenkreuz. He founded the Order of Temple-Builders which bears his name; in that Order aspiring souls are still instructed how to fuse the base metals and make the White Stone.
The symbology of the foregoing will be explained in the following chapters. Paul in his epistle to the Hebrews gives us most information showing the connection between Christ and Melchisedec, both of them Kings and High Priests, but of different dispensations.
And it is yet far more evident for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest who is made not after the law of carnal commandments but after the power of an endless life, for he testifies 'Thou are a priest for The Age, after the order of Melchisedec. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum; we have such a high Priest who is yet on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the Heavens, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord made and not man.
But finding fault with the old He saith 'Behold the days come when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt, because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, 'saith the Lord. It is necessary to intelligently piece the Bible narrative together so that we may obtain an outline of the future development which has been sketched out by the divine Hierarchs to constitute our evolution.
Comprehension of this plan is essential to the correct understanding of the Cosmic relationship of Freemasonry and Catholicism; it is also necessary to fully appreciate the purpose of the Molten Sea and to learn how to intelligently make this wonderful alloy. As Paul says, these things are hard to say, but we shall make an attempt to present the mysteries of Melchisedec and the Molten Sea in plain language so that we may aid in the expressed purpose of the Bible to enlighten all men, that all shall know from the least to the greatest what is the purpose of evolution, and thus give them a chance to align themselves with the trend of Cosmic events.
To understand the mystery of Melchisedec we must revert to the earlier epochs of man's stay upon the earth during the age called the Hyperborean Epoch. The earth was then in an extremely heated condition. Man in the making was then double sexed, male-female, like so many of our present plants, and he also resembled the plants in being inert and lacking in desire and aspirations. At that time man was the tractable ward of the Divine Hierarchs who guided him physically, these being darkly referred to in the Bible as "Kings of Edom.
But as the consciousness of man was still focused in the spiritual world they were unconscious of the physical act of generation, as we are now of digestion; neither did they know birth or death and were in fact totally unaware of the possession of a physical vehicle until in time they sensed it during the generative process; it was then said that "Adam KNEW Eve.
Thus by degrees their eyes were opened and they became aware of the physical world, but lost touch with the spiritual and the Guardian Angels who had previously been their benevolent guides. Only a few of the most spiritual among them retained their higher vision and communion with the Divine Hierarchs. These were then known as prophets, who acted as messengers between the invisible divine leaders and their respective peoples. But in time mankind desired to select its own leaders and demanded visible kings; at least we know that the Israelites repudiated the divine ruler ship and demanded a king, and thus Saul was appointed.
Then the dual office of Ruler and Priest, including temporal and spiritual leadership, was also divided, for no man sufficiently versed in worldly matters to fill the office of king efficiently, had been found holy enough to also undertake the spiritual leadership of his brethren, and vice versa. A true priest, able to lead his flock spiritually, cannot also beneficently dominate their physical fortunes as ruler of a temporal domain.
Melchisedec was the symbolical name of the divine Hierarchs who filled the dual office of king and priest; in the guidance of their double-sexed charges and while they reigned there was peace on earth, but as soon as the offices of king and priest were divorced and the sexes divided, it is not surprising for the reasons given above that the peaceful reign of Melchisedec has been followed by an age of war and strife, such strife as has been experienced during the present dispensation.
Formerly the unifying factors of a dual office in the ruler and the double sex of his people precluded the clashing of interests which now obtains, and which will continue until another divine ruler shall present himself to embody within in his own person the qualifications of the dual office of king and priest after the order of Melchisedec, and until sex generation be abolished. In this connection it is significant that the Bible narrative begins in the Garden of Eden, where mankind were male-female and innocent; then in the next chapter we are told of the division of sexes, the transgression of the command not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge, and the infliction of the penalty--painful parturition and swift death.
From then on the Old Testament tells of war, struggle and strife and in the last chapter makes the prophecy that there shall a Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings. Then the New Testament opens with an account of the birth of Christ, who proclaimed a kingdom of heaven which is to be established. Thus there will be no death, and birth of bodies like those generated in wedlock would be superfluous, for Paul tells us that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
Hence marriage will be unnecessary, the clashing of interests due to the lust of sex and the love of power will then disappear and the love of souls will be hallowed by the spirit of peace. Thus also the physically negative Sons of Seth must learn to leave their father, Jehovah, and naturally the first to take the step must be a great soul.
When He arose from this water He was in the same position as Hiram emerging from the fire; each had left his father respectively, Jehovah and Samael, and each was ready to serve the Christ. Therefore the Christ Spirit was seen at the Baptism to descend upon Jesus' body, which was inhabited and used by Christ during His ministry.
In the Epistle of the Hebrews where Paul gives us a few hints concerning the Mystery of Melchisedec in the character of High Priest, he emphasized the absolute necessity of blood as an adjunct to the Temple Service; he show how the High Priest was required to offer blood for his own sins before he was qualified to give sacrifice also for sins of the people, and that this double sacrifice must be performed year after year. During the regime of Jehovah, the blood of humanity had become impregnated with egotism, which is the separative factor in this age.
From this sin it must be cleansed before mankind can be united and enter the Kingdom of Christ. This was a gigantic task, for humanity had become so impregnated with selfishness that scarcely anyone would do another a favor.
Hence the post-mortem panorama, of life at the time of Christ contained nothing that would give a life in the First Heaven or make for spiritual progress. Almost all the post-mortem existence of the people was spent in the purgatorial expiration of their wrong-doings, and even their Second Heaven life, where man learns to do creative work was almost barren.
Then Solomon, the King, was again called into the arena of life to perform a mission for the benefit and welfare of his brethren, the Sons of Seth; he was peculiarly fitted for this work because at heart he was unselfish as shown by the request which he made at the time when Jehovah appeared to him in a dream and asked what he would have as a gift when he ascended the throne.
Solomon then said unto God "Thou hast shown great mercy unto David my father and hath made me to reign in his stead now; now, O Lord, let thy promise unto David my father be established, for Thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. When Faust made the pact with Mephistopheles, as recorded in the ancient soul-myth of that name, he was about to sign it in ink but Mephisto says: "No, sign it in blood.
To understand this great mystery of Golgotha it is necessary to study the composition and the function of the flood from the occult point of view. When blood is placed under a microscope, it appears as a number of minute globules or discs, but when seen by the trained clairvoyant as it courses through the living body blood is found to be a gas, a spiritual essence.
Mephisto was right when he said that it is a most peculiar essence, for it contains the Ego, and whoever wants to obtain a power over the Ego must have his blood. The human Ego is more powerful than the group spirit of the animal, as we can see when we apply the scientific test known as haemolysis.
Strange blood of a higher animal will kill, if inoculated into the veins of a lower species; if we take human blood and inject it into an animal, the animal will be unable to endure the high vibration that is in the blood of the human being and it will die. On the other hand a human being may be inoculated with the blood of a lower animal without injury. In ancient times it was strictly forbidden anyone belonging to one tribe to marry into another tribe because it was known then by the leaders of humanity that the strange blood would kill something; it always does.
We read that Adam and Methuselah lived so many centuries; at that time it was the custom to marry in the family, marry as closely as possible, so that the tie of blood might be as strong as it could be made. Then the blood that coursed through the veins of the people in that family contained the pictures of all that had happened to the different ancestor; these were stored in the mind which is now subconscious. Then they were consciously and constantly before the inner vision of all people, and each family was united by this common blood wherein the pictures of their ancestors lived.
The sons saw the life of their fathers, and thus the fathers lived in the sons; and since the consciousness of Adam and Methuselah and the other Patriarchs lived for centuries in their descendants, they were said to live personally. Even among the early Norsemen, we learn that if anyone wanted to marry within a strange family, he was first obliged to mix blood; it must first be tested to see whether his blood would mix with that of the family into which he desired to marry.
And thus haemolysis was known to many in some of its phases at least. This marrying in the family or tribe was what engendered the selfishness, the clannishness, and the struggle and strife of the world.
To break these up, the practice must be discontinued; thus when Christ came He advocated the discontinuance of the practice when He said: "Before Abraham was, I AM. And He also said: "Who does not leave father and mother cannot follow Me. That can only come when people marry internationally because when there are so many nations the way to unite them is through marriage. Christ knew the occult fact that the mixture of blood in international marriage always kills something; if it does not kill the body, it kills something else.
If we mate a horse and a donkey, the outcome is a HYBRID, the mule; in that mule something is missing on account of the mixture of strange blood, namely, the faculty of propagation which is lacking in all hybrids. Similarly when we marry internationally something else is destroyed and that is the pictures in the inner vision.
The different pictures of different families clash. And so the clairvoyance, the touch with the spiritual world, with the memory of Nature, has waned since the practice of marrying in the tribe was broken up. The Highland Scot who marries in the clan and the gypsies alone retain this second sight in a measure.
Thus we see that the blood is now differently constituted from what it was in the earlier ages of human evolution. The body of Jesus was a pioneer vehicle of superlative purity at the time when the Christ Spirit entered it, as a means of ingress to the center of the earth by the identical path which he jumped into the Molten Sea and was conducted along the path of Initiation to the center of the earth where Cain, his ancestor, dwelt.
This journey of Christ is recorded in I Peter after Christ had been freed from the flesh by the violent death on Golgotha. When anyone is killed, the venous blood with its impurities clings closely to the flesh, and therefore the arterial blood which flows is distinctly cleaner than it would otherwise be; it is more free from passion and desire. Thus the age of altruism was there inaugurated. It is the conflicting interests of the man and the woman, the home and the shop, the Church and the State, which cause the economic struggle, the war and the strife with which mankind is cursed and which make all long and pray for the reign of peace.
This process is commonly known as rusting. The blood comes in contact with the air every time it passes through the lungs, and as a needle is drawn to a magnet, so does the oxygen of the inspired air coalesce with the iron the blood. A process of combustion takes place, which is similar to the rusting or oxidation we observed in the iron exposed to the air.
The ether contained in the dense fiber of wood, after the latter has undergone combustion in a stove, passes outwards through the iron in the form of semi-invisible heat-waves vibrating at different velocities according to the degree of heat in the furnace. So the spiritual vibration generated by the combustion of oxygen and iron in our physical bodies, passes outwards and colors our invisible vehicles according to their vibratory pitch.
Low vibrations are seen as red, the higher are yellow, and the highest blue. Experience has taught us that combustible material may be placed in a furnace and all conditions necessary to combustion may be present but that until the match is applied the materials remain unconsumed. Those who have studied the laws of combustion know also that a forced draft carries with it great quantities of oxygen which is necessary to obtain heat from fuel containing much mineral.
The reason for this condition lies in the fact that minerals, being the lowest in the scale of evolution, vibrate at a correspondingly slower rate than the plant, animal or man. It requires a maximum effort to raise their vibrations to such a pitch that combustion may liberate their spiritual essence, and oxygen is the accelerator in this process.
Were the same amount of oxygen supplied to good vegetable fuel, which naturally vibrates at a higher rate than mineral, the furnace would be in danger of destruction because of the intensity of the heat generated.
A similar process takes place within the body, which is the temple of the spirit; this is the flame which kindles the inner fire and generates the spiritual product which passes outwards from all warm-blooded creatures as heat radiates from a stove.
Cold-blooded creatures are so low in the scale of evolution that they have as yet no life WITHIN themselves but are worked upon by the group-spirit from without entirely and it is the group-spirit which generates the life-giving currents responsible for the animation in these creatures; these currents pass INWARDS to sustain the nascent life until it shall be able to respond and begin to send currents outwards from itself. These radiant lines of force emanating invisibly to the physical sight from our dense bodies are our aura, as already stated, and while the color of each individual's aura differs from that of all other individuals there is nevertheless a basic or ground color showing its status in the scale of evolution.
In the lower races this ground color is a dull RED like the color of a slow burning fire, indicating their passionate, emotional nature. When we examine people upon a somewhat higher rung of the ladder of evolution, the basic color or vibration radiated by them is seen to be of an ORANGE hue, the yellow of intellect mixed with the red of passion. By the spiritual alchemy unconsciously performed by them as they travel along the path of progress and learn to make their emotions subservient to mind a measure, through many experiences in the school of life, they are gradually freeing themselves from bondage to the martial Lucifer Spirits and the War God Jehovah, whose colors are scarlet and red; also by obeying consciously or unconsciously the unifying altruistic Christ Spirit whose vibrations produce a YELLOW color which is thus mingling with the red and will gradually obliterate it.
The golden aureole painted by the artists gifted with spiritual sight around holy men is a physical representation of a spiritual promise which applies to Humanity as a whole, though it has only been realized by a few who are called Saints. After lives of battle with their passions, after patient persistence in well-doing, high aspirations and steadfast adherence to lofty purposes these people have raised themselves above the red ray and are now entirely imbued with the golden Christ ray and its vibration.
This spiritual fact has been embodied by mediaeval artists gifted with spiritual sight, in their pictures of saints whom they represent as surrounded by a golden aureole, indicating their emancipation from the power of the Lucifer Spirits of Mars who are the fallen angels, as well as from Jehovah and His angels, who belong to an earlier stage of evolution and are warders of national and race religions.
The Lucifer spirits find expression in the iron in our blood. Iron is a Mars metal, difficult to start into high vibration, so difficult that it takes many lives of great effort to change the product of its combustion to the golden color which designates the Saint.
The natural golden color is the Christ ray finding its chemical expression in the oxygen, a solar element, and as we advance upon the path of evolution towards Universal Brotherhood even those who are not professedly religious acquire a tinge of gold in their auras due to the higher altruistic impulses common to the West.
Paul speaks of this as "Christ being formed IN YOU," for when we have learned to mix the alloy by spiritual lives, when we vibrate to the same pitch as He, we are Christ-like, ready, as said, to pull the plugs of the crucibles and to pour the Molten Sea.
Christ was liberated on the cross through spiritual centers located where the nails are said to have been driven, and elsewhere. That is one of the hard sayings of the Gospel and generally misunderstood because it is taken to refer to our physical father and mother in the present life, whereas in the esoteric point of view something very different was intended. Therefore, though the Lucifer spirits helped us into the body, they are also truly angels of death, and the progeny of Samael and Eve are subject thereto as well as the children begotten by her and Adam, for all are flesh.
Let the student ponder well the relation of FIRE and FLAME; the former lies sleeping, invisible in everything, and is kindled into light in various ways: by a blow of a hammer upon a stone, by friction of wood against wood and by chemical action, etc.
As the unseen fire is revealed in the flame, so also the fullness of the Father dwelt in the Son, and they are one as fire is one with the flame in which it manifests. This is the root of all true Sun and Fire worship. All look beyond the physical symbol and adore "Our Father Who art in Heaven.
Thus it will be seen that the Unity which prevailed in the Saturn Period continued in the Sun Period. The ordinary humanity of that time has now evolved to the glory of Archangels; some were more advanced than others, but there was no antagonism among them. Our present humanity had advanced to a plantlike stage, and was slightly above the new Lifewave started in the Sun Period, and unity also here prevailed.

The Meaning of Masonry W. The Mysticism of Masonry Unknown. We remember that end of that journey from his anceptor a new "hammer and a new word for use in the New Age. According to the Gospels we also find also Hiram at the Abiff, the son of Cain, received that Jesus, the son of Seth, immediately after his descent from Golgotha entered the subterranean strata where he remained for some time In communion with the spirits who dwell there.
Thus the various strata of the earth from the circumference to the center form the path of Initiation, both for the soup of Seth and the sons of Gain, and that is the reason why little or nothing is said of the inner construction of the earth in the multitude of books dealing with subjects of occultism. There is a chapter on the subject in the Roricrueiap.
The path of Initiation is guarded in various ways. While we walk the earth in our physical bodies, we are drawn towards the center of the earth by the force of gravitation; but our bodies being solid, that is to say, of the same density as the material whereof our globe is composed, we are thus prevented from sinking through the earth by displacement as we would smfr in water, or by interpenetratton as we would pass through ether.
When death comes and we shed this so-called mortal coil, we find ourselves in vehicles that are finer than the elements of the earth. Having shed the dense body, he is no longer subject to gravitation, but to levitation, and on tnat account he usually finds it sufficiently difficult to stay upon the surface of the earth, Only during the first part of his post-mortem experience when he is still loaded down with the coarsest ether and desire stuff is this The more he has gathered of that denser substance by indulgence of his lower nature and cultivation of the habit of drunkenness, covetpossible for him.
Stories are told of Initiates having overcome the law of gravitation In order to rise in the air at certain times for a definite purpose while still in the dense body. Initiates are also taught how to suspend the law of levitation when are in soul bodies, and how to pass through their they the nine strata of the earth. It is said that Jesus was the son of a carpenter, but the Greek word is tekton, and mean builder; arcke is the Greek name of primordial matter. It is also said that Jesus penter tekton himself.
So does every other tekton Mason or phree messen, child of light, as the Egyptians called such, descend through the nine arch-like strata of the earth. We shall find at the time of the first advent of Christ both Hiram Abiff, the son of Cain, and Solomon, the son of Seth, reborn to take from Him the next great Initiation into the Christian Mysteries.
Cain according to the Masonic It will be legend, was born from this union with Eve. It is also stated that the Lucifer spirit then left Eve, who thus became a widow, and Cain was thus the pon of spirit, the serpent of Wisdom, and Eve, the widow. Every Initiate to this day has the ser- the Lucifer pent symbol on Ms brow and is known to his fellows by that token as a son of the widow and the Lucifer spirit. Naioth is the 1st feminine plural of Naja, a serpent, which we have already mentioned as being an Egyptian word used in the Bible.
In the Latin version the same place is spoken of as Nairn, and Eusebius says it was located near Endor, famous as the abode of the witch, through whose instrumentality Saul spoke with Samuel after the latter had passed on. But it is not to be supposed that Naioth and Nairn are places, or that they were used interchangeably. They describe two widely dif- ferent classes of spiritually gifted people, which the ancient Egyptians had marked by placing the Uraeus upon the brows of one and at the navels of the other.
The latter were mediumistic persons, receiving impressions from spirit controls through the solar plexus. They were properly designated Naioth by the Hebrews who used the feminine suffix to indicate their negative qualities.
But the voluntary clairvoyant and the Initiate, represented by the Egyptians as having the serpentine Uraeus in the forehead, were called Nairn by the Hebrew? As the serpent is not fully unfolded until the ninth arch of the Lesser Mysteries has been passed and the candidates become aspirants to the Greater Mysterand further because the Lodge of PTiree Messen Children of Light of Ancient Egypt are now trans- ies, ferred to the various branches of the Anglo-Saxon race, where the sound Nain means "nine," the original word has been corrupted to mislead all not entitled to the knowledge.
At that time he was given a new Hammer and a new Word. The Hammer was in the form of a Cross. The Word was written a disc, before And he was upon by his adversaries. Then the disc was found, also the new cruciform Hammer, and upon the disc the mystic symbol, The Rose.
Exoteric Masonry, which is only the husks of the Mystic Order formed by the Sons of Cain, has in modern time? The sons of Seth, constituting themselves the Priestcraft, have worked their spell over the positive vital bodies of the feminine element to dominate spiritual development. And whereas, the jns of Cain working through Freemasonry and kindred movements, have openly fought for the temporal power, the Priestcraft has fought as strenuously and perhaps more effectively by stealth to retain their hold upon the spiritual development of the feminine dement would seem as if there were no decided antagonism between these two movements at the present tame; but though Freemasonry of today is but a shell of its true ancient mystic self, To the casual onlooker it and though Catholicism has been terribly tarnished by the touch of time, in this one thing there is no difference, namely, that the war is as fceen as ever.
As mankind advances in evolution, the vital body becomes more permanently positively polarized, giving to both sexes a greater desire for spirituality, and though we change from the masculine in alternate embodiments, vital body is positive to feminine polarity of the becoming more pronounced regardless of sex. This accounts for the growing tendency towards Altruism which is even being brought out by the suffering entailed by the great war we are now fighting, , for all agree that the nations are seeking to obtain a lasting peace where the swords may be made into plowshares, and the spears into pruning hooks.
In the past, humanity has been claiming universal brotherhood as a great ideal, but we must come closer than that to being in full accord He said to His disciples "Ye are my Among brothers and sisters, hate and enmity may exist, but friendship is the expression of with the Christ.
Universal word which will eventually level all distinctions, bring peace upon earth and good will among men. This is the great Ideal proclaimed by the Eosicrucian Fellowship, an Ideal which points the shortest way to the New Heaven and the New Earth, where the sons of Cain and the sons of Seth will eventually be united. He and spiritual is called head of the double sexed human Melchisedec in the Bible terminol- said that he was King of Salem, Salem Peace. Since then humanity has been meaning divided into two sexes, male and female, and placed under the dual rulership of a King having dominion ogy, it is over their temporal affairs and aiming to advance them by industry and statecraft, and a Priest, head of the priestcraft, exercising a spiritual authority, in such a manner as they considered for the eternal good of their charges.
The statecraft employed by the sons of Cain holds up the male ideal, Hiram Abiff, the Master craftsman, the Son of Fire, while the sons of Seth as priestcraft uphold the female ideal in the Virgin Mary, the lady of the sea. It requires ages of preparation, not only of the land itself, but of the people who are to inhabit it.
And in order to gain an idea of what that land is this and how the people are constituted, it will be to consider the helpful evolutionary career of hu- like, manity which has brought us and the land where live to our present status; that wfll then give us the perspective to see what is in store for us in the we future. The Biblical and occult traditions agree with was a time when darkness brooded. During the next stage the fiery core. Two more races were born in the basins of the earth after the pioneers had left it Then a succession of foods drove them last flood took place when the watery sign Canentered precession cer about ten thousand years ago, as told Plato by the Egyptian Priests.
Thus we see that there is no sod- all to the the highlands. The metamorphosis of a frog from a denizen of the water to the airy element gives an analogy of the past emergence of humanity from the continent of Atlantis to the Rain- bow Age earth of Aryana. And the transformation of an to a butterfly soaring the skiep is an apt worm change from our present New Galilee where the Kingdom of Christ will be established and what the change in the human constitution and environment is to be, may be seen by examining the past conditions as outlined in the Bible, which agrees with illustration of the coining state and condition to those of the ; the occult traditions in the main points.
Thip New Heaven and New Earth is now in the making. When the heavenly time marker, the Sun, came into Aries a new cycle commenced and the glad were tidings preached by Christ. He said by implication that the New Heaven and Earth were not ready then, when He told Ms disciples "whither I go, you cannot now follow, but you shall follow afterwards; I go to prepare a place for you and win come again and receive you.
This is in line 93 with the tendencies The Lemurian lived very close to the fiery core of the earth. The Atlanteans inhabited the basins somewhat farther away from the center. The Aryans were driven by the shown by past developments. And will inanalogously, the citizens of the coming Age flood to the hilltops habit the air. But we know that our dense body gravitates towards the center of the earth, therefore, a change must take place; also Paul tells u?
But he also points out that we have a soma pswhicon this mistianslated natural body, a soid body, and and air therethan is which is raacle of ether, lighter fore capable of levitation. This is the Golden Wed- Livding Garment, the Philosopher's Stone, or the ancient of the some in of philosoing Stone, spoken tasphies as the Diamond Soul, for it is luminous, trous, and sparkling a priceless gem. It was also called the Astral Body by the Medieval Alchemists, because of the ability it conferred upon the one who has it to traverse the starry regions.
But it is not to be confounded with the Desire of the modern Body which some call the pseudo-occultists mistakenly This vehide, the Soul Body, will Astral Body. Christ mentioned this class in Matthew, llth chap"The Kingdom of ter, 12th verse, when He said: suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
It ought Heaven to be, "The Kingdom of the Heavens has been invad5 ed' the Greek is biaxetai, "and invaders seize on her. This is the ultimate of the Thirty-third Degree, for three times three are nine, and one plus eight are nine. Summary In conclusion, it may be well to sum up the points which have been made in these articles on Freemasonry and Catholicism, it being understood that the term "Catholicism" as here used does not refer to the Roman Catholic Church alone, "Catholic" being taken in the sense of Universal, so that the term includes all movements inaugurated by the Sons of Seth, the Priestciaft The origin of the temporal of evolution is and spiritual streams as follows; Jehovah created Eve, a human being.
Then Jehovah created Adam, a human being like Eve. Adam and Eve united and begat a child, human like themselves, whose name was Abel. So Cain slew Abel and Abel was replaced by Seth. In time and through generations, the Sons of Cain became the craftsmen of the world, skilled in the use of fire and metal.
Their ideal was male, Hiram Abiff the Master workman. The Sons of Seth, on the other hand, became the , churchmen, upholding the feminine ideal, the Virgin Mary, and ruling their people by the magic water placed at their temple doors.
Various attempts have been made to unite the two streams of humanity and emancipate them from their progenitors, Jehovah and the Lucifer spirits. With this end in view the symbolical Temple was built Son according to the instruction of Solomon, the of Seth and the Molten Sea was cast by Hiram Abiff, the Son of Cain; but the main object was we have seen, and the attempt at uni- frustrated as fication proved abortive. At the same point in time the other actors in the World Drama were also brought to birth that they might serve their brothers.
At the casting of the Molten Sea Hiram Abiff had been given the baptism of fire by Cain, which freed Mnt from the Lucifer spirits; he was also given a new Hammer and a new Word.
When the new Bra dawned, he was born as Lazarus, the widow's son of Nain, and raised by the ptrong grip of the lion's paw to the rank of Immortals as Christian Boeenkreuz. Solomon, the Son of Seth, was reborn as The baptism of water administered by John as sentative of Jehovah freed Trim also. Religion has been terribly tarnished in the courae of time, its pristine purity has long since vanished under the regime of creed, and it is no longer CafkdKc, that is to say, Universal.
And though the cleansing blood of Jesus is an absolute necessity to millions of weaker brothers, there can scarcely be any question when we assert that the more men and women who engage in Mystic Masonry to consciously "build this Temple of the Soul, the sooner we shaU see ike second advent of Christjand the stronger witt le ike race which He shall rule'by the law of love.
