wouldnt admit or confess to placing an obilisk or any other symbol or it would reduce its power. I dont pretend to know any mason secrets nor do I
claim to be a conspiracy master. But I do find it coincidental that they chose that particular monument for that site.
Actually they say Tubal
Cain, mentioned in the Bible as being an artisan in brass and iron before the flood, was the first mason. Also Nimrod was a great mason. It was just
not called masonery until a lot later
In any case in the master lodge in washington there was a plaque that showed a man dressed in Sumarian garb then a cascade of more recent masons.
In their rituals they replay the story of the juwes. Three people that accosted and then murdered Hiram Abif, Solomons architect. There is a lot more
to it but suffice it to say they have a strong links to ancient mystery religions that have spanned the ages of the earth.
I could go into great detail as to why the obelisk is a revered symbol, and yes it all boils down to what it looks like. Isis could not find that
specific part of her man Osiris and had to cr4aft one from gold. It is where the golden seed idea of a race of pure god like humans come from. Such
Lots and lots of history there.
The biggest problem is that most of the Masonic appologists do not actually know the secrets of their organisation. However they have the right as a
Brother to use the libraries at their disposal to find out.
So if anyone here is one and is not defending their position from a place of inside high level knowlege you may be deluding yourself. A 3d degree
master mason will not know what a 29th degree scottish mason does nor what a 9th degree york mason will nor a 90th degree memphis mason... I purposely
stop at those numbers.
The point being if you are one and that is only a blue lodge then you do not know how far the rabbit hole goes. If you are one and are higher on the
totem pole then you already know and you may just be muddying the waters.
