<p>The movie starts with a golden sun globe containing a map of the Earth written in Greek letters.</p>

<p>Next we have the amazing logo of Atlas holding a golden sun globe. [Atlas Shrugged]</p>

<p>We have two members of the international bank (IBBC) saying:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">Left: This canvas appeals to you?<br />
Right: I like the look of agony.<br />
Left: Why?<br />
Right: Because I know its true.</span></p>

<p>This bank member says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">This is not about making profit from weapons sales. Its about control. The IBBC is a bank, their objective isnt to control the conflict, its to control the debt the conflict produces. The real value of a conflict, is in the debt that it creates, you control the debt, you control everything. This is the very essence of the banking industry. To make us all whether we be nations or individuals, slaves to debt.</span></p>

<p>Our man from the art gallery says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">Justice is not possible. Your idea of justice is an illusion. Under the very system that you serve and protect will never allow anything to happen to Skarssen or the bank. On the contrary, the system guarantees the IBBC&#8217;s safety because everyone is involved. Hezbollah, CIA, The Columbian drug cartels, Russian organized crime, Iran, Germany, China, your government, every multinational corporation, everyone. They all need banks like the IBBC so that they can operate within the black and gray latitudes.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">You understand if you really want to stop the IBBC you won&#8217;t be able to do it within the boundaries of your system of justice. You will have to go outside. Once you do, there will always be collateral damage. Yes. Should you sacrifice your own ideals for the greater good? That&#8217;s a difficult choice, one I understand all too well.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Studio Albums</p>
<ul>
<li>Illmatic (1994)</li>
<li>It Was Written (1996)</li>
<li>I Am… (1999)</li>
<li>Nastradamus (1999)</li>
<li>Stillmatic (2001)</li>
<li>God&#8217;s Son (2002)</li>
<li>Street&#8217;s Disciple (2004)</li>
<li>Hip Hop Is Dead (2006)</li>
<li>Untitled (2008)</li>
</ul>
<p>Nas displays clear connections to astrology, Egypt, God and Nastradamus. The Cover of Street&#8217;s Disciple shows a Last Supper style dinner where Nas is seated in place of Jesus. A cake on the table has the astrological sign of Virgo.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-986" title="NAS-Streets-Disciple" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/NAS-Streets-Disciple.jpg" alt="NAS-Streets-Disciple" width="500" height="429" /></p>
<p>The lyrics to the song Virgo from Street&#8217;s Disciples contain nothing peculiar. The song &#8220;Where Ya&#8217;ll At&#8221; contains an interesting phrase refering to the back of the U.S. Dollar Bill:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">Whether chrome sparking or loan sharking<br />
Busting rachets or numbers rackets or drug traffic<br />
My funds are wrapped up, no concerns who has what<br />
Financer, skull doo wrapped up<br />
Mob life, prizefights, plasma tvs or first floor<br />
Diversified all my circle<br />
Amid the most sickest groom the proof swiftness<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"> Numero uno, annuit coeptis<br />
That&#8217;s the language of our Latin ancestors<br />
On the back of a dollar, the plan and the message<br />
</span>In the Rolls Royce like the King of Nigeria<br />
My criteria, smoke cigars<br />
Change rap like Jimi Hendrix changed Rock And Roll<br />
With a broke guitar, diamonds flashing<br />
Almost put a million cash in, in my mommy casket<br />
Seen more green than St. Patrick-trick</span></p>
<p>The song &#8220;High&#8221; contains the phrase &#8220;Silent weapons for quiet wars&#8221; which was mentioned in Bill Cooper&#8217;s book <em>Behold a Pale Horse</em>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">I elevated up, since my snakes in my circumference<br />
Now I hit my niggas with cakes and say, &#8220;Pump This&#8221;<br />
Thank god for cracks, corners, and marijuana<br />
Hoodrats and good gats to carry on ya<br />
I got dead friends, misled friends, crackhead friends<br />
Wild Gremlins, who &#8220;bust led&#8221; friends<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"> Silent weapons for quiet wars</span><br />
Allow gats,<br />
Tussle too long, some shiny moves the crowd back<br />
It&#8217;s powerful, niggas would die over respect<br />
And money is secondary to that whole aspect</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-799" title="1936328009_a64d1fac16_o" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1936328009_a64d1fac16_o.jpg" alt="1936328009_a64d1fac16_o" width="206" height="137" /></p>
<p>The ancient civilizations did not have bright street lights, skyscrapers, or other large sources of light polluting the sky at night. The ancients could clearly see the sky, the stars, the Moon, the Sun, even Venus and other planets. When you are an ancient civilization whose life is owed directly to the Sun for its sunlight and warmth, you will tend to become fascinated with the large glowing orb of energy that rises each day. The Sun was a clock. By studying the movement of the Sun, the ancient civilizations knew when to perform such things as preparing for Winter.</p>
<p>As a form of respect and worship, the Sun was carefully studied on a daily basis. More particularly, the &#8220;constellations&#8221; were transformed into anthropomorphisms such as the Leo the Lion, or Cancer the Crab. The ancients did what anyone would and should do. They projected their imagination into the formation of heavenly lights to make them come alive. They developed a story, or myth, which stars (pun intended) the Sun as the main anthropomorphic character. Lets take a look at this story in both highly objective astrological terms, and then in mythological terms.</p>
<h2>The Astrological Story of the Sun</h2>
<p>The Sun&#8217;s position, when observed at a fix point in time (for example 8:00 AM) on a daily basis will change over time. This is why days seem shorter and longer during different seasons. Before the Sun begins to fall back downward from its highest position, the constellation Scorpio is seen in Autumn rising with the Sun. From Earth, the Sun appears to rise on the horizon closer to the south as the days progress. The days become shorter. Nights become longer. It becomes colder. The Winter Solstice, December 21st, is the day when the Sun stops moving its position on the horizon. For 3 (three) days, the Sun is observed on the horizon at the same point. This is the end of the season &#8220;Fall&#8221;, because the Sun stops &#8220;Falling.&#8221; After the three days, the Sun begins to move Northward again. And so the cycle continues. If you are observing this phenomenon above the 66.5 to 67 degree latitude line, there is no Sun in the sky during the three days. The Sun will remain below the horizon for three days.</p>
<p>On the morning of December 25th, when observing the rise of the Sun the following objects are seen rising from the Eastern horizon in chronological order:</p>
<ol>
<li>The three stars of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(constellation)" target="_blank">Orion&#8217;s Belt </a></li>
<li>Dog Star <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius" target="_blank">Sirius</a> (Sirius being pointed to by the three stars of Orion&#8217;s Belt)</li>
<li>The constellation <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_(constellation)" target="_blank">Virgo</a></li>
<li>The constellation <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpens" target="_blank">Serpens</a> (The head of Serpens close to the foot of Virgo)</li>
<li>The Sun in conjunction with the constellation <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquila_(constellation)" target="_blank">Aquila</a> (Aquila appears to be standing on the Sun)</li>
</ol>
<p>Simultaneously on the Western horizon the constellation <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(constellation)" target="_blank">Hydra</a> is seen rising. That is the basic observation regarding the Sun disappearing for three days.</p>
<p>The reason for this entire conundrum is because of <a href="http://whatisthepyramid.com/2009/07/20/the-tilt-of-the-earth/" target="_self">The Tilt of the Earth</a></p>
<h2>The Mythological Story of Jesus</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-806" title="JesusSun" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/JesusSun.jpg" alt="JesusSun" width="420" height="278" /></p>
<p>According to the Bible:</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;"> Jesus Christ was born in a manger</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Mother was the virgin mother named Mary (Mariam)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Father was God (Holy Spirit)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Three kings followed a bright star to find Jesus, and to give him gifts.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Jesus was crucified on the cross and died.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">He was buried for three days.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">On the third day he rose again and ascended into heaven.</span></li>
</ol>
<h2>The Mythological Story of Horus</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-585" title="HorusPapyrus" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HorusPapyrus.jpg" alt="HorusPapyrus" width="458" height="296" /></p>
<p>According to the Egyptian historical record:</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;"> Horus was born in a cave</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Mother was Isis (Isis being a virgin is still in debate)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Father was Osiris (The god of Death/Rebirth)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Horus&#8217; birth was marked by the star Sirius</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Horus was killed by the mark of a scorpion</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Horus was buried in a tomb</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Horus resurrected after 3 days</span></li>
</ol>
<h2>The Astromythological Story of The Sun</h2>
<p>Jesus, Horus, Mithra, Buddha, Krishna, and a host of other mythological figures are the Sun. Their twelve disciples or helpers, or twelve accompanying figures are the signs of the Zodiac. The reason why Judas kisses Jesus before Jesus dies, is the scorpion sting leaves a sting mark that looks like lips. Jesus is crucified on the Solar cross of the Zodiac. Here are the direct corollations:</p>
<ol>
<li>Jesus, Horus, etc are the Sun</li>
<li>Twelve disciples and the like are the Zodiac signs</li>
<li>The 3 Kings are the three stars of the Orion constellation</li>
<li>The bright star is Sirius</li>
<li>The death symbolizes the Sun not being seen moving or not being seen at all in the sky for 3 days</li>
<li>The resurrection is the Sun beginning its journey back Northward</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-559 alignnone" title="papyrus" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/papyrus1.gif" alt="papyrus" width="411" height="413" /></p>
<p>The Papyrus of Dama Heroub<br />
Egypt, 21st Dynasty.</p>
<p>The Double Lion symbolizes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Guardians of a gate</li>
<li>Guardians of knowledge</li>
<li>&#8220;Yesterday and today&#8221;</li>
<li>Guardian of the Sun during the Sun&#8217;s death and rebirth cycles</li>
</ul>
<p>According to  <em><em>Le role et le sens du lion</em> dans l&#8217;Egypte ancienne</em> (Leiden, 1951):</p>
<p><em>&#8220;His powers are mysterious&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;in him lie the deepest mysteries&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;he has concealed his forms&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;[he is] the one full of mystery, who is not known&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;[the lion is] that which brings about the resurrection of the sun&#8221;</em> &#8230; <em>&#8220;The double lion, the two horizons, the two world mountains, are different images symbolizing the crossing from life to death, from day to night and vice versa. They are the guardians, the gates, the threshold to the Beyond&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em> </em>According to <em>Number and Time: Reflections Leading Toward a Unification of Depth Psychology and Physics:</em></p>
<p>Page 93: <em>&#8220;The double lion Routi is the divine principle which, recreating itself in death, rising up from the dead. Psychologically this lion symbolizes psychic energy, in its latent unconscious condition, and its reappearance on the threshold of consciousness. Whenever a latent unconscious content pushes up into consciousness, it appears first as a twofold oneness. For this reason nearly all cosmogonies begin their tales of the emergence of world-consciousness with a duality: creator twins, a god and his &#8216;helper&#8217;, or, as in Genesis, the earth &#8216;without form and void&#8217; over which the Spirit of God moved.&#8221;<br />
</em><br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-615 alignnone" title="lionsgate6bf2d9fbe702845bdb5597c8645c745d" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/lionsgate6bf2d9fbe702845bdb5597c8645c745d.jpg" alt="lionsgate6bf2d9fbe702845bdb5597c8645c745d" width="450" height="265" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lionsgate.com" target="_blank">Lionsgate</a> is <em>&#8220;the leading independent filmed entertainment studio&#8221;.</em></p>
<p><em><img class="size-full wp-image-616 alignnone" title="lionsgate" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/lionsgate.JPG" alt="lionsgate" width="220" height="181" /></em></p>
<p>When examining these two logos, the first observation is the Lion formed from stars. The second, is the Lionsgate text shown over Sun symbolism. It is clear that this company, who produces many movies containing Freemasonry symbolism consider themselves the guardians of knowledge. Now, Leo, is one of the constellations of the Zodiac. The Zodiac, is a direct reference to the Sun. The Sun is in Leo from approximately July 21 to August 20 depending on the year. The Sun&#8217;s position at midday during the time of the Egyptians coincided with the midsummer solstice. Leo was a constellation of the summer.</p>
<p>Leo, the Lion, the Double Lion, Routi, refers directly to the Sun as being a source of knowledge.</p>

<p>The theme of Illumination, Knowledge, or Secrets being kept &#8220;under the Lion&#8217;s Paw&#8221; is a recurring motif.</p>

<p>There seems to be a strange reason why Zahi Hawass, the man in charge of Egyptian archaeology, refuses to let anyone discover what is underneath the Sphinx. Ground radar penetration has revealed a complex tunnel system yet no further investigation or public disclosure has happened. So what lies beneath?</p>

The Ouroboros / Uruboros</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-549" title="jung" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/jung.jpg" alt="jung" width="145" height="198" /></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The alchemists, who in their own way know more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. In the age old image of the ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the most astute alchemists that the </em><em>prima materia of the art was man himself. </em></p>
<p><em>The ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow self. This feed back process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself t life again, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. This is much like the cycle of the Phoenix, the feminine archetype.</em></p>
<p><em>Ouroboros symbolizes The One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and therefore constitutes the secret of  the </em><em>prima materia which unquestionably stems from man&#8217;s unconsciousness.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Carl Jung<br />
(<em>Collective Works</em> Vol. 14)</p>
<p><em><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-554" title="plato" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/plato.gif" alt="plato" width="311" height="343" /></em></p>
<p><em> </em>Plato:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The living being had no need of eyes when there was nothing remaining outside him to be seen; nor of ears when there was nothing to be heard; and there was no surrounding atmosphere to be breathed; nor would there have been any use of organs by the help of which he might receive his food or get rid of what he had already digested, since there was nothing which went from him or came into him: for there was nothing beside him. Of design he was created thus, his own waste providing his own food, and all that he did or suffered taking place in and by himself. For the Creator conceived that a being which was self-sufficient would be far more excellent than one which lacked anything; and, as he had no need to take anything or defend himself against any one, the Creator did not think it necessary to bestow upon him hands: nor had he any need of feet, nor of the whole apparatus of walking; but the movement suited to his spherical form was assigned to him, being of all the seven that which is most appropriate to mind and intelligence; and he was made to move in the same manner and on the same spot, within his own limits revolving in a circle. All the other six motions were taken away from him, and he was made not to partake of their deviations. And as this circular movement required no feet, the universe was created without legs and without feet.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>An 11th century manuscript, the Codex Marcianus depicts the Ouroboros:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-558" title="ourobor2" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ourobor21.jpg" alt="ourobor2" width="258" height="318" /></p>
<p>The first record of this symbol is from Egypt:</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-559 alignnone" title="papyrus" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/papyrus1.gif" alt="papyrus" width="411" height="413" /></p>
<p>Note the serpent sitting on the Pharaoh&#8217;s forehead:</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-601 alignnone" title="449px-tutmask-1" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/449px-tutmask-1.jpg" alt="449px-tutmask-1" width="407" height="543" /></p>
<p>It can be successfully said, that the Ouroboros represents:</p>
<ul>
<li>Life/Death Cycle</li>
<li>The Zodiac (Precession of the Equinoxes)</li>
<li>Winter/Summer Solstices</li>
<li>Regeneration</li>
<li>Unstoppable and infinite change</li>
<li>Reincarnation</li>
<li>Rebirth</li>
<li>Cycles</li>
<li>Eternity</li>
<li>Infinity</li>
</ul>
<p>It can also be said that the Ouroboros represents the Milky Way:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-557" title="Milkyway_pan1" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Milkyway_pan1.jpg" alt="Milkyway_pan1" width="649" height="139" /><br />
<em>Image taken from <a href="http://www.digitalskyllc.com/" target="_blank">Digital Sky LLC</a></em></p>
<p>Ancient civilizations may have observed the Milky Way and noticed it looks like a snake biting its own tail. They may have also noticed that the Milky Way appears to move in a circular motion as our planet rotates through the solar system. Thus, the Ouroboros can represent what we see from Earth on certain dates of solar events (Geocentric astrology) as we orbit through the solar system.</p>
<p>Other interpretations of the Ouroboros are quite interesting. It is theorized that the snake, represents DNA. The snake, or serpent, being symbolized by Hermes:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-561" title="Hermes_World_1" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Hermes_World_1.jpg" alt="Hermes_World_1" width="340" height="720" /></p>
<p>Hermes was a Greek &#8220;messenger&#8221; God who wielded a Caduceus. Hence the name Caduceus of Hermes. This is origin of the medical symbol. If you take it a step further, and notice the dual intertwined snakes forming a sort of double helix DNA strand, you arrive at the conclusion that the serpent represents DNA. If the serpent is a biological anthropomorphism of DNA, then we can attribute the Ouroboros to cycles of DNA change. Similarly, the serpent in the Garden of Eden offering forbidden fruit to Adam and Eve can be interpreted as an unknown force beckoning the two to partake in experiencing and/or activating their DNA.</p>
<p>Throughout history, serpents have been depicted in very curious ways.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-418" title="edensnake" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/edensnake.jpg" alt="edensnake" width="257" height="373" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-419" title="brazen20serpent" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/brazen20serpent-233x300.jpg" alt="brazen20serpent" width="233" height="300" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-421" title="3124519063_02e0c8da06_o" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/3124519063_02e0c8da06_o-300x260.jpg" alt="3124519063_02e0c8da06_o" width="300" height="260" /></p>
<p>It is also interesting to note that NASA has taken pictures of a double helix formation near the Milky Way:</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-605 alignnone" title="060315_dna_nebula_02" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/060315_dna_nebula_02.jpg" alt="060315_dna_nebula_02" width="450" height="543" /></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/060315_dna_nebula.html" target="_blank">Space.com</a>:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The DNA nebula is about 80 light-years long. It&#8217;s about 300 light-years from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The nebula is nearly perpendicular to the black hole, moving out of the galaxy at a quick clip-about 620 miles per second (1,000 kilometers per second). Magnetic field lines at the galactic center are about 1,000 times stronger than on Earth. They run perpendicular to the black hole, but parallel through the nebula. Scientists think that twisting of these lines is what causes the double helix shape.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>It appears we have a pentagram embedded into the design of Washington DC. It is important to note that the Whitehouse sits at the lower point of this. The origin of the pentagram or pentagon is<br />
believed to be derived from occult astrology.</p>
<p>Starting with the top left point, we have:</p>

<p>The Olive Branch, Sword, Eagle hilt, Solar Disk, Greek key pattern</p>
<h2>Olive Branch:</h2>
<p>According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_branch" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The olive branch is a branch of an olive tree. In Western culture, derived from the customs of Ancient Greece, it symbolizes peace or goodwill. The original link between olive branches and peace is unknown. Some explanations center on that olive trees take a very long time to bear fruit. Thus the cultivation of olives is something that is generally impossible in time of war.&#8221;</em></p>
<h2>The Eagle:</h2>
<p>A representation of prime matter, the start of an alchemical operation. The eagle spreads its wings over the step into creation and fans the fire, encouraging growth of new matter.</p>

<h2>The Sword:</h2>
<p>As an alchemical symbol the sword is a symbol of purification. The sword can metaphorically clean the spiritual soul of man. This symbolic action sacrifices physical bondage to release a path to ethereal (enlightened) freedom.</p>

<h2>Greek Key (Meander Pattern):</h2>

<p><em>&#8220;Meanders were among the most important symbols in <a title="Ancient Greece" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece">ancient Greece</a>; they, perhaps, symbolized infinity and unity; many ancient Greek temples incorporated the sign of the meander. Greek vases, especially during their <a class="mw-redirect" title="Geometric Period" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Period">Geometric Period</a>, were likely the genesis for the widespread use of meanders; alternately, very ocean-like patterns of waves also appeared in the same format as meandros, which can also be thought of as the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Guilloche" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilloche">Guilloche</a> pattern.&#8221;</em></p>

It means that Venus, seen from the Earth, is in the same position with respect not only to the Sun, but also to the stars. This happens because five periods of Venus take eight years. Venus (The Morning Star, Lucifer, Second Sun) being a large orange planet is known to be the most occult planet in the solar system.</p>

<p>It is important to note that this pentagram is missing a segment. The missing segment has been debated by Freemasons themselves who claim that this missing segment invalidates the symbol as being a carefully placed pentagram. According to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe&#8217;s <strong><em>Faust</em></strong><em>:</em></p>
<blockquote><p><em>(Goethe&#8217;s Faust, Scene Six, Faust&#8217;s Study)</em></p>
<p><em>Mephistopheles:</em></p>
<p><em>Let me own up! I cannot go away;<br />
A little hinderance bids me stay,<br />
The witch&#8217;s foot upon your sill I see.</em></p>
<p><em>Faust:</em></p>
<p><em>The pentagram? That&#8217;s in your way?<br />
You son of Hell explain to me,<br />
If that stays you, how came you in today?</em></p>
<p><em>Mephistopheles:</em></p>
<p><em>Observe it closely! It is not well made;<br />
One angle, on the outer side of it,<br />
is just a little open, as you see.</em></p>
<p><em></em></p></blockquote>

<p>What is Freemasonry? According to <a href="http://www.freemasonry.org" target="_blank">Freemasonry.org</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">&#8220;Freemasonry is the oldest and largest world wide fraternity dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of a Supreme Being. Although of a religious nature, Freemasonry is not a religion. It urges its members, however, to be faithful and devoted to their own religious beliefs.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">&#8220;The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be universal: Christ, Buddha, or Mohamed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth.&#8221; (&#8220;The Lost Keys of Freemasonry&#8221;, Manly P. Hall, 33o, p.65, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co., Richmond, VA., 1976.)</span></p>
<p>Freemasonry then, to an outside observer, appears to be an ambiguous umbrella religion. With the basics established, lets look at how the organization works.</p>
<p><a href="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sof_large.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-238" title="Steps of Freemasonry" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sof_large-1024x691.jpg" alt="Steps of Freemasonry" width="650" height="438" /></a></p>
<p>You can click the above picture for a much larger size.</p>
<p>The Freemasons use a series of steps or &#8220;degrees&#8221; toward reaching the highest level, or title. The first three steps are:</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Entered Apprentice</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Fellow Craft</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Master Mason</span></li>
</ol>
<p>Most Freemasons choose to stay at the 3rd degree. However, if one wishes to progress further there are two options. A red lodge (pill) and blue lodge (pill). Yes, I am refering to the Matrix. The blue lodge is the Scottish Rite, and the Red Lodge is the York Rite. Both paths lead to the same point at the top of Freemasonry.</p>
<p>The Scottish Rite Degrees:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">4° &#8211; Secret Master</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">5° &#8211; Perfect Master</span></li>

<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">17° &#8211; Knight of the East and West</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">18° &#8211; Knight of the Rose Croix of H.R.D.M. (Knight Rose Croix) &#8211; </span><em>It is unknown what HRDM means</em></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">19° &#8211; Grand Pontiff (Pontiff)</span></li>

<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">22° &#8211; Prince of Libanus (Knight of the Royal Axe)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">23° &#8211; Chief of the Tabernacle</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">24° &#8211; Prince of the Tabernacle</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">25° &#8211; Knight of the Brazen Serpent</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">26° &#8211; Prince of Mercy</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">27° &#8211; Commander of the Temple (Knight Commander of the Temple)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">28° &#8211; Knight of the Sun (Knight of the Sun or Prince Adept)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">29° &#8211; Knight of St. Andrew (Scottish Knight of St. Andrew)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">30° &#8211; Grand Elect Knight K H (Knight Karlosh)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">31° &#8211; Grand Inspector Inquisitor (Commander Inspector Inquisitor)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">32° &#8211; Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret (Master of the Royal Secret)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">33° &#8211; Sovereign Grand Inspector General</span> &#8211; <em>It is said that this degree is strictly an honorary degree</em></li>
</ul>
<p>The York Rite Levels:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Mark Master</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Past Master (Virtual)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Most Excellent Master</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Royal Arch Mason</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Royal Master / Select Master / Super Excellent Master</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Order of the Red Cross</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Order of Knights of Malta</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #00ccff;">Order of Knights Templar</span></li>
</ul>
<p>So what is a lodge? It is a facility that Freemasons use:</p>
<p><a href="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mexico.masonic.lodge.room.op.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-239" title="mexico.masonic.lodge.room.op" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mexico.masonic.lodge.room.op-300x200.jpg" alt="mexico.masonic.lodge.room.op" width="300" height="224" /></a><a href="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/PS100_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-242" title="PS100_2" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/PS100_2-300x224.jpg" alt="PS100_2" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Notice the Illuminated Triangle in both pictures similar to the seal on the reverse side of the U.S. Dollar Bill:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-172" title="521px-US_Great_Seal_Reverse.svg" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/521px-US_Great_Seal_Reverse.svg-300x300.png" alt="521px-US_Great_Seal_Reverse.svg" width="300" height="300" /><br />
Also take notice to the checkerboarded floor. You will find the checker-boarded floor (commonly called Masonic Floor) throughout movies and entertainment.</p>

<p>According to <a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/codex_magica/codex_magica15.htm">Bibliotecapleyades</a>,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">&#8220;Hanging over the fireplace in the famous Green Room at the White House in Washington, D.C. is an acclaimed oil portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of our country&#8217;s most celebrated &#8220;founding fathers.&#8221; It depicts the famed statesman sitting studiously, poring over an ancient document which he is holding with his right hand. His left hand, meanwhile, is at his throat, set with the finger in a V-design, the thumb pushing upward to his chin. Franklin&#8217;s neck is a prominent focus of the painting. Obviously, this is a sign Franklin is communicating.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-395" title="dcodex_12" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dcodex_12.jpg" alt="dcodex_12" width="572" height="506" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-405" title="McL_masonic1" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/McL_masonic11.jpg" alt="McL_masonic1" width="267" height="372" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-406" title="stairs" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stairs1.jpg" alt="stairs" width="300" height="372" /></p>
<p>Freemasonry is an institution in which an initiate is climbing a ladder or stairs to reach the Light symbolized by an illuminated eye sometimes shown inside an equidistant triangle. The ultimate understanding is of the alchemical and cyclical nature of the solar system. The rituals for advancement involve taking blood oaths of silence or things such as being threatened with a dagger or sword.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-409" title="mritual" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mritual.JPG" alt="mritual" width="281" height="356" /></p>
<h1>Freemasonry and Witchcraft</h1>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-574" title="wiz1" src="http://whatisthepyramid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/wiz1.jpg" alt="wiz1" width="268" height="269" /></p>
<p>Freemasonry is strikingly similar to Witchcraft. It can be assumed that Witchcraft was one of the cults of alchemical knowledge. Here is a list of the common similarities:</p>
<ul>
<li>They both have a foundational system of three degrees, with some forms of Wicca offering higher degrees after achieving the third degree.</li>
<li>Both are secret societies because they both keep their membership rolls secret, and secrets are kept from the general public by both &#8220;religions.&#8221;</li>
<li>Both usually meet in secret, with the exceptions for the purpose of rare openly public events.</li>
<li>Both have ceremonial initiations to pass a candidate from one degree to another, of which include sworn oaths.</li>
<li>Both have ceremonial form of purgings &amp; purifications of the ritual area before commencing any ritual work.</li>
<li>They both have the candidates remove all secular clothing, remove all metal (i.e. jewelry, etc.), and hoodwinked (i.e. blindfolded, etc.) with ropes ceremonially tied around them (the form of the tying varies).</li>
<li>Both groups have the candidate stand in the Northeast corner of the &#8220;temple&#8221; in the first degree.</li>
<li>Both groups challenge the candidate by piercing their naked chest with a sharp impliment (witches utilize the sword, while Masons use the point of a compass).</li>
<li>They both challenge the candidate by asking for secret passwords.</li>
<li>Both have the candidate lead in a circular walk (or &#8220;walking around&#8221;) of the temple while hoodwinked.</li>
<li>Both have the candidate(while hoodwinked) endure being picked up, carried around, spun around, being pushed or struck from one person to another. It is supposed to create an &#8220;altered state of consciousness in the candidate.&#8221;</li>
<li>Both have the ceremonial un-hoodwinking of the candidate, after he/she has taken the oath, before lighted candles which are supposed to bring &#8220;illumination.&#8221;</li>
<li>Both explain to the new initiate the &#8220;working tools&#8221; pertaining to that degree &amp; each tool&#8217;s use is taught to the initiate.</li>
<li>Both groups, in the higher degrees, bring the candidate through a &#8220;from-death-to-rebirth&#8221; ritual in which he/she acts the part of a hero/heroine of the craft.</li>
</ul>

<p style="text-align: left;">This symbol and its many different abstractions shows up in so many places (churches, hospitals, currency, legal documents, movies, songs, song art, corporate logos, ritual and occult literature) that there cannot be any explanation other than there is some unifying factor causing the use of this symbol either purposefully or not. This symbol ties directly to Egyptian mythology and symbolism of the Eye of Ra, or the Eye of Horus.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">This symbol has the following connections:</p>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>The Soul (Animus)</li>
<li>God&#8217;s Eye</li>
<li>The Sun</li>
<li>The Third Eye</li>
<li>Awakening, Ascension</li>
<li>Occult Knowledge</li>
<li>That which is most high</li>
<li>The Observer Effect (Quantum Physics / Superposition)</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: left;">The reason why the Eye of Ra/Horus is placed inside a triangle, could be:</p>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>The Trinity (Father, Sun, Animus)</li>
<li>The Third Eye (Pineal Gland) inside a Tetrahedron</li>
<li>The Sun inside a 3D world</li>
<li>The Capstone of a Pyramid, symbolizing that which is most high</li>
</ol>
<p><span><span>According to Symbols of <a href="http://whatisthepyramid.com/?p=236" target="_self">Freemasonry</a> by Albert G. Mackey:</span></span></p>
<p>&#8220;<em>The equilateral triangle appears to have been adopted by nearly all the nations of antiquity as a symbol of the Deity, in some of his forms or emanations, and hence, probably, the prevailing influence of this symbol was carried into the Jewish system, where the Yod within the triangle was made to represent the Tetragrammaton, or sacred name of God.</em>&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;<span><span><em>The right-angled triangle is another form of this figure which is deserving of attention. Among the Egyptians, it was the symbol of universal nature; the base representing <strong>Osiris</strong>, or the male principle; the perpendicular, <strong>Isis</strong>, or the female principle; and the hypotenuse, <strong>Horus</strong>, their son, or the product of the male and female principle.</em>&#8221; &#8230; </span></span>&#8220;<em>The triangle is the symbol of the Supreme Architect of the Universe&#8211;the Creator; and when surrounded by rays of glory, it becomes a symbol of the Architect and Bestower of Light.</em>&#8221;</p>
