Ep. 75 ad servum noxiae Freemasonry Pt.5

ad servum noxiae    This week's episode continues my Illuminated Institutions series with Freemasonry Pt. 5. On this addition of The Oddcast I look into the texts concerning the oaths, & obligations in various Freemasonry manuals, & Degree Ceremonies. What exactly are they agreeing to? Is it, once a Mason, always a Mason even if you leave the Lodge? Are you bound to support hierarchy even if you disagree with them, or other brothers?   We look at that, & other aspects as we continue our learning journey on The Craft, it's endless teachings, & connections. Thank you for listening. Now, time to take that trek once again. Time to go deep down the rabbit hole, far beyond the mainstream!     Cheers, & Blessing     Freemasonic Term: Vouchsafe     To promise or agree, condescendingly, because it is in your power; to bestow a special favor.  To vouch as safe.       IN HOC SIGNO VINCES-   BY THIS SIGN THOU SHALL CONQUER     Who are they conquering?       Ralph Epperson-America's Secret Destiny   https://youtu.be/LM2no-tf6rM       Freemasonry, & The New Age   https://mysteryoftheinquity.wordpress.com/elite-symbolism/freemasons-build-a-new-age-movement/     And thus the warfare against the powers of evil that crushed the Order of the Temple goes steadily on, and Freedom marches ever onward toward the conquest   Of the world. ALbert Pike, Legenda     "An invisible hand is guiding the populace." Lafayette     MORALS AND DOGMA:   "Such, my Brother, is the TRUE WORD of a Master Mason; such the true ROYAL SECRET, which makes possible a HOLY EMPIRE of true Masonic Brotherhood. Albert Pike       Masonry's "... ceremonies, symbols, and the celebrated legend of Hiram in the Master Mason's degree, were directly borrowed from the 'Ancient Mysteries,' or   the secret worship of Baal, Osiris or Tammuz. Edward Ronayne, Writer of Freemasonry Manuals       James H. Billington, who received his doctorate as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, and has taught at Harvard and Princeton Universities. He wrote this in his book entitled FIRE IN THE MINDS OF MEN: "This book seeks to trace the origins of a faith - perhaps THE faith of our time. What is new is the belief that a perfect secular order will emerge from the forcible overthrow of traditional authority."     A dungeon horrible, on all sides round, As one great furnace flamed, yet from those flames, No light, but rather "darkness visible" Served only to discover sights of woe. (Milton, Paradise Lost, Book I)     The light of a Master Mason is darkness visible. (Masonic Ritual, Ceremony of Raising to the Third Degree) -     W.M. (Still holding the Five Points of Fellowship) It is thus all Master Masons are raised from a figurative death to a reunion with the former companions of their toils. Brother Wardens, resume your seats. Let me now beg you to observe that "the light of a Master Mason is darkness visible," serving only to express that gloom which rests on the prospect of futurity. It is that mysterious veil which the eye of human reason cannot penetrate unless assisted by that light which is from above. Yet, even by this glimmering ray, you may perceive that you stand on the very brink of the grave into which you have just figuratively descended, and which, when this transitory life shall have passed away, will again receive you into its cold bosom.       It is my theory that the geometric shape of the U.S. Pentagon building was chosen because it represents the 5 points of fellowship in Freemasonry. Connected at its points the Pentagram m, which represents the five points, fits perfectly within the Pentagon in sacred geometry, and so does the point within the circle.   Odd Man Out     Luciferian Light Order (Albert Pike Quote On Their Homepage)   https://luciferianorder.com/     Scotch Rite Masonry Illustrated   (Hand Signs, & Rituals)   https://archive.org/details/scotchritemasonr01blan     Terms In Royal Arch Freemasonry   https://sites.google.com/site/globechapter7/history/royal-arc
