A tangent: I've read some people on Substack who would mostly agree with you on cultural/political issues, but then be absolutely horrified that you included a Masonic image and/or the Tree of Life in one of your posts! and that you seem to think these are good things!

I tend to think that most systems can be used for good or evil; it's not really the system itself, but the people who use it and their motivations. I know some people think the Zohar is evil and that therefore the Tree of Life is inherently the work of the devil. Or, if you prefer the Hermetic/Christian Qabbalah, then they say, "oh! it's the occult", where for them anything labelled "occult" is by definition devilish.

I personally appreciate esoteric systems and I enjoy how you talk about magic and archetypes. I don't know a lot about the Masons; one writer I used to read who say things like "oh, it must be the Masons" whenever something bad happened. I did study the Golden Dawn system for a while, and I definitely don't think it is inherently evil.

I see it all the time, writers I appreciate lazily labeling anything they think of evil as "occult", not at all unlike the left seeing Nazi's behind every bush. I thought about that as I set that Masonic image, I almost put in the caption, relax, I'm not a Mason, lol. But if a subscriber is that touchy about the subject they are not going to last long here. My attitude is, your enemies are using black magic against you, here is some white magic to strengthen yourself with....

John Michael Greer is a 32nd deg Mason, he has written about it extensively. According to him, the masons are a lot like our churches, mostly shorn of their spirit, people mostly going through the motions.

I appreciate you having an open mind and making thoughtful choices.

Great article. I've often seen this written as a masonic creed. I don't know

If it is. It's also been mentioned as a Masonic Creed by Rockefeller. It mentions video games which were not around by the time he died, but they very well could have been an idea. Based on everything I know about Rockefeller (Institute/Foundation) it very well could have been. What most have been enlightened to over the last 4 years, his involvement in the medical industry, etc. Definitely comes off as NWO/elitist. Story online is it was anonymously submitted to a banking website. I've been looking into this for a while.

Would love to see if anyone has more info on it. Maybe an anonymous rant by Gates, Soros, Schwabb?

"We will keep their lives short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so that they never see what is happening.

We will use soft metals, aging accelerators, and sedatives in food and water as well as in the air. They will be covered in poisons wherever they turn.

The soft metals will make them lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many funds, and yet we will give them more poison. Chemical poisons will be absorbed through the skin of idiots who believe that certain hygiene and beauty products presented by great actors and musicians, will bring eternal youth to their faces and bodies, and through their thirsty and hungry mouths, we will destroy their minds and systems of internal organs. reproduction.

However, their children will be born as disabled and deformed and we will hide this information.

The poisons will be hidden in everything around them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We have to be ingenious in distributing the poisons because they can see far. We'll teach them that poisons are good - with funny pictures and musical tones on TV. Those who are looking for them will be helpful. We'll enroll them to push our poisons.

They will see that our products are used in film and they will get used to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth, we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them that we are helping them! We will start earlier when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things.

When their teeth decay, we will fill them with metals that will kill their minds and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we have created drugs that will make them sicker and cause them other illnesses, for which we will create even more drugs. We will make them docile and weak before us, by our power.

They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison.

We will focus our attention on money and material goods so that they never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures, and video games so that they are never one with the unity of all.

Their minds will belong to us, and they will do as we say. If they refuse, we will find ways to implement technology that alters the mind in their lives.

We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and we will establish opposition within them.

We will own both sides. We will always hide our goal, but we will continue our plan. They will do the work for us, and we will prosper from their toil.

Our families will never mix with theirs.

Our blood must be pure (because it is). We will make them kill each other when they oppose us.

We will keep them separate from unity through dogma and religion.

We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and let them believe that they are guiding themselves.

We will instigate animosity among them through our factions. When light shines among them, we will extinguish it by mockery or death, which suits us best. We will make them tear their hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this using hatred as our ally, anger as our friend. Hatred will completely blind them and they will never see that in their conflicts we will be their leaders.

They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors, as long as we see that they are against us.

We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths.

We will repeat this until our ultimate goal is achieved. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger, we will give them images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to achieve this. The tools will be provided by their work.

We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors.

We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one.

That he must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always believe that they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal. We will take over their lands, resources, and wealth to exercise control over them. We will trick them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they have. We will set up a money system that will shut them down forever, keeping them and their children in debt.

When we ban them together, we will accuse them of murder and present a different story to the world because we will own all the media. We will use the media to control the flow of information and their feelings in our favor. When they rise up against us, we will crush them like insects, because they are less than that.

They will be helpless to do anything about it.”

Nice screed!

Sounds plausible. Definitely the dream of the "illuminati". I've no doubt the likes of infernal baby soros would be happy to maintain that trajectory.

Hi Josh. The word "occult" means "secret, not divulged," so when certain groups of people — like the Freemasons — that intentionally keep information from others, I DO find that evil.

Another thing about Freemasonry is that it is an incrementalist, hierarchical system, so that lower levels must perform ever more compromising tasks and take oaths to reach higher levels. It seems pretty clear to me, based on the vast amount of research and whistleblowing, that those higher levels — especially the 33rd degree — are keeping secrets. One of those secrets is anal sex with little boys as a "portal" to what they consider to be "knowledge." That is evil, and a complete inversion of the Architecture of Life.

But sure, some of the ancient knowledge the FMs try to keep from us has to do with our nature as Divinely-created beings, and we ought to be privy to that information!

I studied and still sometimes use the Crowley Tarot Deck. Does that make me a devotee of Crowley and the OTO? No, and it is my intention to use such tools for good, not to hold the secrets for myself and use them *against* others, which is precisely what is being done by secret society higher-ups and their cushy-job-keeping career clowns.

However, I would use caution in using certain tools like the Kabbalistic "Tree of Life," which is part of the Metatronic fallen creation code. The 10-base system is artificial and is part of the death-cult system that is destroying Life.

Also, the image of the "warrior" in WHD's post is actually Lucifer, bringer of light, the deceptive, false-white-light harbinger of the fallen creation code!

Anyway, I appreciate your perspectives. Wishing you well!

WHD, are these lessons available in print? I prefer books to screens and am also making a collection for when/if the grid goes down. It seems this is something that needs to continue to survive this age.

I appreciate you asking. Annie. My only copies I printed from the website and set in a binder, along with my notes and comments, which were more pages than that, lol.

The organization has been defunct for most of the past century, I don't know there was ever anything in print about it. But I will bring it to the council and see what they think. There is so little money, and so little interest frankly, no one has ever thought to bother, I think.

Here is the link to the full material. https://octagonsociety.org/octagon-society/

It’s true that 1850’s Americans were very literate. But the diet wasn’t very wholesome for people in cities. Some of the stories I have read about slaughter houses and canneries made my hair stand up.

However, the majority of the population was rural until the 1880’s. Their diets were wholesome, but sparse.

Accurate. City food in the early industrial age was adulterated in many ways. Bread particularly, which was a primary part of every diet. Rural food was much better, but as you say, especially on the frontier, abundant in season, sparse particularly late winter. All in all though, no TV, no processed food like we see in such abundance, considerably less sugar and seed oil, no systemic toxicity, pharmaceuticals on top of pharmaceuticals, more time outside...on average, healthier.

Well written, William, and nicely thought out and organized. It provides a solid corollary to what I was reading in the Course this morning, about the desire to see ourselves as weak and blame others or fate for our misfortunes. I loved the Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull inclusions, along with the Mongolian archers. Your focus on forgiveness of others and self also fits. Thanks for this!
