Since you asked:
Here is an theory for your contemplation. I will begin by sating that this is an extension (at best) of theories put forth by the following Authors:
Graham Hancock, Message of the Sphinx, Fingerprints of the Gods.
Knight and Lomas, The Hiram Key
I like the think of Freemasonry as the legacy left by an ancient Egyptian death cult, who honoured the idea expressed by the Goddess Ma'at (justice, uprightness of action, brotherhood of all men). These people may have believed that the immortal aspect of human beings reincarnates endlessly, on Earth. The immortal aspect (let's call it a Soul for short) originated elsewhere and came to Earth to "play" (my interpretation). Having arrived, we became so identified with our incarnations that we continue to “play”, though some may wish to return to our point of origin. There are ancient rituals that teach how the soul can return to the stars. Specifically Sirius and the stars of Orion's Belt.
The Kings of Egypt were privy to this ritual. If you examine the concepts of Freemasonry and adopt the perspective I have described then the whole “boy's club fraternity” becomes far more interesting.
As additional reading I would recommend the Thurman translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
It's only a Game. Try to remember. |
