Dissipation Of Darkness - Origins Of Masonry, Is It Authentic?

[ov3rkomer]

Does anyone know, if this book is authentic? ( could not find much discussion about its reliability on the net)

A short summary of G.S. Lawrence's "Dissipation of Darkness" - The origins of masonry:

Quote:The Mysterious Force
RedRaven - Wed May 10, 2006 11:35 pm
Post subject: The Mysterious Force According to G.S. Lawrence's book 'Dissipation into Darkness, the Origin of Masonry' it was generally believed that modern Freemasonry was created in 1717 when its Grand Lodge of England was established. It was also generally believed that it was Dr. James Anderson who wrote its "New Constitutions." It is true that the new name was adopted in 1717, but the real founder of Freemasonry is not Anderson. Moreover, few people, including most of its members, know that its origin is 2000 years old. Indeed, as far as we know, none of the current books on Freemasonry traces Freemasonry to its true origin. Masonry was founded by King Herod Agrippa at the suggestion of Hiram Abiud, with the consent of Moab Levy, Adoniram, Johanan, Jacob Abdon, Antipas, Solomon Aberon, and Ashad Abia in the year 43 A.D. The original name was the "Mysterious Force." All its founders belonged to Judaism.

Lawrence states that ancient masonry was established by King Herod Agrippa to counter the effect of Jesus Christ's ministry and the separation of many Jewish families so that they could follow Christianity after Christ's death and sudden disappearance. In other words, to my estonishment ancient masonry was established in order to preserve the Jewish faith and their people.

Hiram Abiud, the King's Counselor, who was the real founder of ancient Masonry, proposed the name of the association as the "Mysterious Force." The King's men feared Christianity as an unseen force that they could not decipher, control, nor offer resistance. They felt they had lost all strength to defend the Jewish faith and their very existence as a nation. With no firm hope of attacking this "mysterious" force they proposed establishment of a similiar mysterious force of greater power, to attack mystery with mystery. No one would know of the association, its powers or principles other than what the King, himself, chose to disclose.

The nine founding members had to take a horrifying oath swearing by God, the Bible and their honor, that, having become a member of nine founders of the Association, 'The Mysterious force', to bind themselves not to betray their brothers, the members in anything that might harm their persons, nor to betray anything concerning the decrees of the Association. To bind themselves to follow its principles and to realize what is proposed in the successive decrees approved by the nine founders, with obedience and precision, with zeal and fidelity. To bind themselves to work for an increase in the number of its members. To bind themselves to attack whoever follows the teaching of the Impostor Jesus and to combat his men until death. To bind themselves not to divulge any of the secrets preserved among the nine; either among outsiders or among the affiliated members. If perjury is committed and betrayal is confirmed in that they have revealed some secret or some article of the decrees preserved among and their heirs this commission of eight companions will have the right to kill that person by whatever means available.

King Herod Agrippa reinforced his deceit of Christianity into ancient masonry by establishing the meaning of the instruments and symbols. Every session would be opened by striking three times consecutively with a hammer; thus remembering eternally through the centuries, that they crucified Christ and with the hammer had fixed the nails into his hands and feet, killing him. Three stars would symbolize the three nails. They would be able to change them for three points that will have the same significance. Among the symbols would be three steps, ridiculing with them Christ's blasphemy: God is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, with his claiming to be the Son. Thirty-three degrees of masonry was established to symbolize the age of the Imposter Jesus. The meaning of the ironic symbols were not meant to perceived by the lower degrees and, therefore, kept among the original nine members.

Masonry set up the Temple of Jerusalem and sent heir-descendant of Hiram Abiud to Rome to establish the two Temples of Rome and of Achaea. After the members of the latter two temples killed St. Peter and St. Andrew, the Temple of Rome became the presider of all temples in the East. The heir-descendant of Moab Levy was sent Russia, that of Adoniram to Gaul (France) and those of the successor of Abiud to Germany. The movement initiated by the Mysterious Force did not expand greatly due to the fear created by its name. Joseph Levy and Abraham Abiud, heir-descendants of Moab Levy and Hiram Abiud, were sent from Russia and Germany to London where they met John Desaguliers, who was a Protestant with intense hatred for Catholics. The three agreed on naming the Association : Freemasonry on August 25, 1716. Then on June 24, 1717, they met with the associations of architects and builders in London and officially launched the Association with the new name. Since 1717, the temples were changed to lodges.

Lawrence further states that there are triple-objectives of the new Masonry: a) to preserve Judaism for the Jews, b) to attack Roman Catholicism, c) and to embrace naturalism and nihilism. As a result, it acted for the demolition of thrones, the abolition of authorities, spiritual and temporal, so it may have absolute domination of the world. It preaches liberty, equality, and fraternity with perverse meaning: liberty without limits, liberty of blasphemies and deceits, liberty destructive of character, religions, wealth, lives and families; equality signifies the disappearance of all order, everything falling into confusion, with the loss of true values; fraternity is a brotherhood full of egotism and privileges, love of revenge, divisions, endless conflicts, betrayal, robbery, pride, profanation, and nihilism. If the new Freemasonry is the daughter of mother Masonry, Socialism is its granddaughter.

The mother Masonry threw all her intention in a single goal, which was the battle against Jesus' men. The daughter Masonry (i.e. Freemasonry) surpasses that limit by great distances. It acts for the demolition of thrones and the abolition of authorities, spiritual and temporal, so it may have absolute domination of the world. Jonas (James) Lawrence (1775-1825) predicted even before the birth of Communist theory (Karl Marx, 1848: Communist Manifesto) that the new Masonry will give birth to Socialism. Not only that, all the corrupt descendant organizations will be the daughters and granddaughters of mother Masonry.

Jonas (James) Lawrence (1775-1825), great-grandfather of G.S. Lawrence, predicted even before the birth of Communist theory (Karl Marx, 1848: Communist Manifesto) that the new Masonry will give birth to Socialism. Not only that, all the corrupt descendant organizations will be the daughters and granddaughters of mother Masonry.

This is Jonas's own words:
"Know, my son, that the new Masonry, responding to the demands of the enemy of humanity and fulfilling orders to increase the daughters of corruption, gave birth to Socialism. This granddaughter came to be evil worse than earlier evils.
"I predict to you, Samuel, that all these creatures will grow and give birth, by Satanic spouses, to all other creatures of wickedness, corruption and destruction.
"They will be multiplied and they will scatter their seeds over all the earth, corrupting it and how poisonous will be their fruits!
"Each one of those creatures will form a party and each party will look out for the interests of its mother, aggravating the evils of confusion, civilization disappearing, eliminating religion and education degenerating. Then the trumpets of grief and disaster will blow.
"This prophecy of mine will be fulfilled and will have a great echo. Our descendants will see infernal generations. Men will remember me, after my death. They will testify to this opinion of mine that all the corrupt descendants will be daughters and granddaughters of mother Masonry. How fitting this is, with respect to this: Evils beget nothing but evils."

Jonas prediction has been fulfilled for the most part.

Decipher? They could and they did.

You could say that ignorance is power for the priests.

I ask only for reason over superstition.

Quote:Truth ignores mysteries; they are attributes only of error and imposture, and the offspring of a necessity to deceive, [...] Hence their dogmas have always been surrounded by darkness and secrecy.

Quote:It has now evolved a jargon of its own, a list of coded signals which mark out the magic circle of history or literary criticism into which only the initiated can enter.

That may explain why some of the titles given after you reach higher degrees are Jewish in orgin. Freemasonry is full of Hebrew symbols and writtings.

Quote:12° [Grand] Master Architect
13° Knight of the Ninth Arch, or Royal Arch of Solomon

The masons love solomon hear he was into the occult big time. “Solomon’s Seal was accepted as occult by the occult world. King Solomon was deeply involved in witchcraft and occultism. According to The Sorcerer’s Handbook, ‘King Solomon, traditionally known as an arch magician, used a spell to banish infernal beings sent by the king of demons to extract human hearts… [The names of the demons are then given.]’... (Graham: 24-5, 29, 32)

14° Grand Elect, Perfect and Sublime Mason, or Perfect Elu

Elu=frequently used by the Hebrews as equivalent to God. The original Semitic meaning embraces the idea of surpassing might, immense power, and unlimited strength.

Chapter of Rose Croix

15° Knight of the Sword [of the East]
16° Prince of Jerusalem

Hmmm?

17° Knight of the East and West
18° Knight [Prince] Rose Croix

googled rose croix found this about the founder: he conceived the plan for simultaneous universal religious, philosophic, scientific, political, and artistic reform. For the realization of this plan he united with several disciples to whom he gave the name of Rose-Croix.

Council of Kadosh

19° [Grand] Pontiff

Pontiff from Wiki: It comes from the Latin word pontifex, which literally means bridge-maker. It could therefore be construed to mean a bridge between God and humanity.

20° [Grand] Master of Symbolic Lodges
21° Noachite or Prussian Knight
22° Knight of the Royal Axe
23° Chief of the Tabernacle
24° Prince of the Tabernacle

25° Knight of the Brazen Serpent

Brazen Serpent from Jewish Encyclopedia:An image set up by Moses which is said to have healed those who looked upon it. "The sufferers, when they looked upon the image from any part of the camp, were healed of their sickness (Num. xxi. 4-9). This "brazen serpent" became an object of adoration to Israel, and so remained until Hezekiah destroyed it by breaking it into fragments (II Kings xviii. 4)."

26° Prince of Mercy
27° Knight Commander of the Temple
28° Knight of the Sun, or Prince Adept

Have you seen "The Secret History of America's Beginings: the new Atlantis" ov3rkomer? It is totally mind blowing and well made. It's about the masons and rose croix planning the founding of America. Alot about a guy named Francis Bacon. *MUST SEE* here's a link.

The land of America was aparently well known to secret societies for a hundred years or more before it was colonized. Columbus was related to the knights templar. The Roselyn Chapel has art of plants in it from South America made in the 1300's. The entire civilization was planed and stuctured by secret societies to be a blending of pagan and christian traditions. Look at our national symbols and monuments (statue of liberty, lincon memorial, washington monument, statue on top of white house is Persephone. Persephone is the goddess of the underworld in Greek mythology.) They are all pagan not Christian why? Look at Christmas and Easter. We are suposedly a Christian nation. What Christian would want a bunch of pagan monuments?

This looks interesting - I will take a look, thanks:D

It's one of the best movies I've seen this year and I've seen alot. Its over 2 1/2 hours. Don't miss it.

It also goes into the Shakespear plays. How they may have actually been the work of Sir Francis Bacon and his literary group not the poor nearly illiterate actor of the name William Shakespear.

I'll reseed it for sure if but only from 1:00am to 7:00am pacific till the first. I'm over my limit already for the month and that is free download time for my isp. B)

I watched it and it is really good. The Freemanory-Rosicrucian connection is well documented.

G.S. Lawrence's "Dissipation of Darkness"

I still could not find any proof that this document is authentic. Those who quoted from it did not investigate the books origins. It seems spurious for a number of reasons: the story of its creation, internal evidence and information from other sources, that contradict it. It may very well be fictious. Also, it does not seem to exist in any library.

Has anyone seen this examined anywhere as to its authenticity?
Is it for real??

People talk about authencity of "protocols of Elders of zion".
Is there anyway to prove it?

Only One way I guess.
See if it fits.

Quote:"The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years old and they have fitted the world situation up to this time. They fit it now.
Henry Ford in the New York World, February 17th, 1921

They fit, even today.

So is the case of G.S. Lawrence's "dissipation of darkness".
Information balance the equation and Fits into chain of events

The Protocols are different form Dissipation of Darkness, in that they talk about their immediate plans starting around 1900, whereas Dissipation of Darkness talks about ancient history. Obviously the Protocols fit the NWO developments in the last 100 years. This proves they were written by someone with insider knowledge of The Plan. It does not prove an exclusively Zionist conspiracy (even though I do not dismiss this possibility). They could have been written by another elite group in order to divert attention from themselves and to scapegoat the Jews.

Dissipation of Darkness, claims to trace Freemasonry to a group of Jews in the year 43AD. It has weaker documentary evidence than the Protocols. It claims to quote original dialog between those Jews and King Herod. This is all very interesting and somewhat believable, but without some expert examination of the internal evidence and original documents it is presumpteous to give it much credence. Historical examination from 43AD to 1717AD would also have to corroborate a systematic opposition to Christianity by the Mysterious Force. This evidence is not really conclusive. After 1717 the record of Freemasonry is well documented, but I think the definite proof that it has always been controlled by Jews at the highest level is hard to come by.
