Freemasonry: “When man reaches new worlds, Masonry will be there.”
Click for Larger View. Notice the symbolism of the issue as well - Vol. 77, No. 11.
The above was a quote from the December 1969 issue of the The New Age Magazine, the official magazine of the Supreme Council 33° A.&A. Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction, Washington, D.C. (See the details here.) Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., 32°, visited the Scottish Rite headquarters at the House of the Temple in Washington, September 16, 1969, after the historic moon landing of Apollo 11, and brought back the Freemasonic flag that he took with him to the moon.
The Apollo program was rife with Masons; they were proud of being involved, and weren’t shy about advertising the fact.
In the November 1969 edition of The New Age Magazine, there is an extensive article by Kenneth S. Kleinknecht, 33°, the Manager of the Apollo Program Command and Service Modules; Deputy Manager, Gemini Program; Manager, Project Mercury.
On page 13, we read:
Note how many of the astronauts themselves are Brother Masons: Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.; L. Gordon Cooper, Jr.; Donn F. Eisle; Walter M. Schirra; Thomas P. Stafford; Edgar D. Mitchell, and Paul J. Weitz. Before his tragic death in a flash fire at Cape Kennedy on January 27, 1967, Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom was a Mason, too. Astronaut Gordon Cooper, during his epochal Gemini V spaceflight in August of 1965, carried with him an official Thirty-third Degree Jewel and a Scottish Rite flag. Via the lunar plaque, the Masonic ensignia and flag, and the Masonic astronauts themselves – Masonry already is in the space age. Can we doubt Freemasonry and its spiritual relevance to the modern era when even its material representatives have today made historic inroads into the infinite expanses of outer space?
Back then, Freemasonry wasn’t shy about admitting that the “Craft” is essentially a spiritual endeavor, either. In fact, right before Kleinknecht writes some bios on the Masonic astronauts (as well as Mason James Edwin Webb, the NASA administrator from 1961-68), he includes these words: “The mission of the Craft has always been one of salvation, but until now its field of endeavor was the individual and the bringing of him to the light. Masonry cannot think in these terms now. All men everywhere must hear our message or all men everywhere will perish” (ibid., pp. 15-16; my emphasis).
Kenneth S. Kleinknecht, by the way, was/is the brother of C. Fred Kleinknecht, 33°, Sovereign Grand Commander, The Supreme Council, 33° (Mother Council of the World), Southern Jurisdiction, USA, Washington.

Temptations of Lucifer to Jesus as he showed him all the kingdoms of the world. ‘all these will I give thee if falling down you will adore me’
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:49 am
Lets not forget who created the earth, moon, the entire universe and beyond. How stupid some people must look to God who created them,and how sad. Freemasonary? Do they really think that Lucifer is the one they should worship? I know that they do, but why,when it’s God who is in control of all his creation, and only God. What good will Freemasonary do for anyone when they’re breathing their last breath,getting ready to enter into eternity. Who do you think will be there to greet you, your creator God, or some organization? Think about it and don’t be fooled by the lies of the evil one who lures people with promises of wealth, power, help in getting ahead in this world. Yes, all the things of this world that are so appealing, but the moment you die,you’re on your own,and none of the things of this world will matter ever again. Just think about it. Remember nothing lasts forever, except of course eternity, which never ever ends. A few fading trinkets,perhaps money, some power in exchange for an eternity of ever lasting joy and the treasures of God that will only get better and better and last forever and ever. Well, I know which one I’am looking forward to, how about you?

I wouldnt be too sure about identifying that which created the cosmos.. Maybe you should look into the cathars concept of Rex Mundi which they have mistakenly been accused of worshiping but in reality just acknowledged the existence of.. You must understand duality which freemasons and other secret societies of the present age seem to wilfully deny..
In the ancient system of gematria (numbers came before letters) the cosmos has always been represented by 666 which is the negative force of dualism or if you like the material dimension… st John in revalations (which is in reality gematria code and not literal) warns of the one sided focus of the cosmos as it turning into a beast.. The thing is im afraid that sacred geometry is infact true and the cosmos is a synthesis of 666 material and 1080 spirit through a 3rd essence … There is no satan as a being or a lucifer its all just allergory and code.. We are experiencing the one sided focus of 666 with the abscence of 1080 which manifests itself as destruction instead of fusion..
In the higher planes experience doesnt have the side affect of destruction as is the case with all life in the material cosmos ,,,take a walk out in nature yeh its looks beautiful from one perspective but zoom in and you soon see how everything is destroying other life for its own survival even plants destroy other plants for the competition for space and light.
The freemasons understand all of this and use it for their own ends ,,, the 33s and above want to be gods of the material world by manipulating the sacred geometry that makes it be … (look at snowflakes each one unique and understood by sacred geometry)
I would think that there once was a less lower vibrating material cosmos with perfect fusion but those days are long gone ….
There was an interesting episode of the “sky at night” here in the uk it was the 666th episode and sir patrick moore’s (himself a mason) coments on the 666 speack for themselves…
sorry about spelling mistakes..

1080 isn’t evil. It’s Form 1040 that’s evil!!

Jon,
I am saddened to read your gobbly-gook. You don’t have a clue. As a biologist I know that the world is ordered and not some cosmic accident. There was, is and always will be an intelligent being that created it all and that would be God. The law of entropy stands smack in the way of evolution because Einstein had it right and Darwin just came up with a clever alternative.
God said “Let there be light” (electromagnetic Light) and there was this big bang and light came into the universe. Then, using the formula of E=MC2, He just slowed the light speed down to varying degrees to make the different forms or elements and out of them came the stars and the planets. Then earth and the plants and animals and the seas and the firmament and finally, Mankind. Those of us who know realize that the bible is the greatest book ever written, for within it is an encapsulation of the history of Mankind and where we are headed. And Satan is so real. Again, those of us who understand the power of prayer and know God…also know Satan. He comes a prowling to knock us off our game…our journey up into the heavens.
You go and believe the nonsense that the free masons put out. as for me…I will worship the Lord and Savior and I know where I go…even unto death.

It never fails to amaze how stupid people are - can all you religious nuts please give some proof to go with your rediculous claims?

ooooh, if only we could’ve stayed in the Dark Ages burning witches and treating illness with leeches! Those damn Masons with their Satanic illuminations!!

Most of you seem so ignorant. I am a freemason and I do not worship Lucifer. The Arlene chick above said that. Believe what you want. I honestly don’t get why most atheists are so hostile against people who have faith in a higher being. We do accept all religions, which I agree is a great policy. If you men make judgements against masonry without participating, I challenge you to join them just to see for yourself that it is not what you think it is.

“Most of you seem so ignorant?” The testimony of countless servants of Jesus Christ (many of them ex- masons) have by the Holy Spirit exposed the darkness that masquerades itself as light behind the veil of Freemasonry. The Word of God makes it clear there are only two seeds on this earth - the seed of the serpent (the shining one - Lucifer - the false light) and the seed of the woman (Christ). Jesus confirmed this when He told the parable of the wheat and the tares.
Matthew 13:37 “He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man (Jesus) ;13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Do Freemasons serve Christ or the Shining One - the serpent, the devil, satan, lucifer (the darkness that masquerades as light)? Well if we can prove they do not serve Christ (that they are not sowing the “good seed” of the kingdom of Christ), then they must be sowing the seed of the devil. There are only two options. To do this we don’t need to explore their initiations, symbols, rituals, etc. We only have to answer one question:
Do they believe in and teach the SIMPLE gospel according to Christ and his apostles? Let’s see: This is from the Grand Lodge of Scotland website, but they all teach and believe the same as the following:
“Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. The one essential qualification (the belief in a supreme being) means that Freemasonry is open to men of many religions and it EXPECTS and ENCOURAGES them to CONTINUE to FOLLOW THEIR OWN FAITH. It is not permitted for Freemasons to discuss these subjects at Masonic meetings.”
It is apparent that Jesus and his apostles did not EXPECT and ENCOURAGE men to continue in their false faith. It is obvious that this is the very reason why Christ was crucified and many thousands of disciples martyred - because they preached an offensive (free) salvation, apart from works, special knowledge, initiations, religion, etc. But men loved and still love their wisdom, philosophies, science, mysteries, ceremonies, rituals, etc. He cannot rest in the simplicity that is in Christ. He must add to it or take away. He must continue to seek for ILLUMINATION all the while denying that Christ is the only true light of the world. And this obviously freemasonry does.
While I cannot say a member of a lodge worships Lucifer, I can say with certainty that the organization to which he belongs is servant to (whether knowingly or not) the adversary of the cross of Jesus Christ - Satan. That is a fact.

Oh, and who is Lucifer anyway? And what relationship does he have with Masons? According to Lucifer Publishing Company’s Alice Bailey?
Page 511. The Externalization of the Hierarchy by Alice Bailey of Lucis Trust (aka. Lucifer Publishing Company)
“The masonic fraternity is the custodian of the law, it is the home of the mysteries and the seat of initiation. It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity, and the WAY OF SALVATION is pictorially preserved in its work. The methods of deity are demonstrated in the temples, and under the all-seeing-eye the work can go forward. It is a far more occult movement than can be realized, and is intended to be the training school for the coming advanced occultists.”
The Esoteric Meaning of Lucifer from the Lucis Trust website:
There are comments on the World Wide Web claiming that the Lucis Trust was once called the Lucifer Trust. Such was never the case. However, for a brief period of two or three years in the early 1920’s, when Alice and Foster Bailey were beginning to publish the books published under her name, they named their fledgling publishing company “Lucifer Publishing Company”. By 1925 the name was changed to Lucis Publishing Company and has remained so ever since.Both “Lucifer” and “Lucis” come from the same word root, lucis being the Latin generative case meaning of light. The Baileys’ reasons for choosing the original name are not known to us, but we can only surmise that they, like the great teacher H.P. Blavatsky, for whom they had enormous respect, sought to elicit a deeper understanding of the SACRIFICE made by Lucifer. Alice and Foster Bailey were serious students and teachers of Theosophy, a spiritual tradition which views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels, those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus “the fall”) from Venus to our planet eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man. In the theosophical perspective, the descent of these solar Angels was not a fall into sin or disgrace but rather AN ACT OF GREAT SACRIFICE, as is suggested in the name “Lucifer” which means light-bearer.
So, according to them, and from what we know happened in Genesis, Lucifer is: The Hebrew word Nachash is translated to “shine” (like brass) or whisper (as in enchantment). The Nachash was not a literal snake. The Nachash was, to use literal Hebrew, a ’shining enchanter” who brought ILLUMINATION (light) to the mind of Adam. And what happened? “Their eyes were opened and they knew they were naked.” And they hid from God. The promise that their eyes would be opened (illumination) and they would be like God turned out to be darkness.
Now, the serpent (shining enchanter) is still masquerading as an angel of light and using people in these fraternities like the masons and the new age religions to seduce people into becoming INITIATES of the ILLUMINED. It’s the same old lie. Jesus Christ is the LIGHT of the world and there is no other. If they believed this SIMPLE gospel message they would not still be seeking illumination.

Freemasonry is not a religion or a cult. That is a fact. We do not save souls. That is a fact. You do that at the church of your choice in a free society in the greatest country in the History of the world. We build character in good men. Period. The rest of this religious conspiracy is just diddly pooh. I believe in the fatherhood of god(Jesus Christ) as my savior and the brotherhood of man. I reprove all that is cruel, vicious or oppressive and approve of all that is good charitable and kind. That’s real evil stuff right there. Ha ha. We, (Feemasons)built this great nation under God given rights and simple Christian faith, which is the basis of masonic pricipals of liberty and freedom of thought and opinon. We absolutely do discriminate. Yes, we do. We don’t want the immoral, the criminal, or the athiest. We don’t take the drug addict, the murder, the rapist, the subversive. Women are not Freemasons. Only some crazy woman on some internet nonsense or hollywood crapola portays themselves as such. Only a Freemason knows this and the reason for it. Women have their own organizations within the masonic structure in which they build character and do great and fantastic charitable work. Lucifer could care less about crippled children. He cares even less for charity. He could care even less about the orphan, he feels he’s got them anyway. He wants you crippled, he wants you ophaned, he wants you lonely, he wants you on drugs, drunk or acting immoral or criminal. Why? Because he loves problems. Anybody who believes Freemasonry is evil is ignorant and a child in my opinon. We solve problems. We believe in God. Not Satan. You must profess a belief in God to become a member. The holy bible is present at all times in a lodge. We pray to god at the beginng and ending of our meetings so that we may have his blessing and guidance in our work. Just like Evil Bro. George Washington did at Valley Forge everyday. ha ha. We raise millions of dollars annually and support 22 childrens hospitals throughout the United States. All done by masons and all done by charity. We are selfless, we give because we care. We care about each other and our fellow man. If that’s evil, then call me allah. Get real. Come see for yourself if it is within your heart to do so. Of your own freewill and accord. Lets see you support 22 childrens hospitals, countless orphanages and raise billions for charity annually. Give your heart and mind to God, we encourage you to do just that, and help us one night a month do God work in a lodge of your choice. You can still go to Church every other day of the week. Please let us know how your personal charity is going. Understand this, we wrote the Constitutuion and the Bill of Rights. We built this country. Love it, participate and help, or leave if you so desire. But you certainly have the right to stay, and do nothing if you so desire. We built it that way.
Arch Stanton.
