Organizations
The
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
The Golden Dawn Order system is based upon a hierarchical structure in
which certain information and knowledge is retained for students who
have reached specific grades or levels of achievement in their esoteric
training. This is in keeping with the paradigm of a school, and the
Golden Dawn is a school of the Mysteries. The Hermetic Art is a true
science; therefore would-be magicians “going through the grades” must
commit the rudimentary knowledge of the system to memory, just as if
they were students of medicine or engineering.
Training in the magical arts implies an examination of various regions
of the student’s own consciousness or psyche—a process which is not
always easy, and sometimes not always pleasant. Certain portions of the
psyche, as well as certain areas of higher knowledge and training,
should be left alone until the student has been thoroughly grounded and
balanced by the step-by-step process of magical development established
by the grade system of the Golden Dawn. The careful structuring of the
Golden Dawn system includes built-in safeguards that are designed to
furnish students with increased spiritual awareness, magical knowledge,
and psychic integration in a manner that is both gradual and secure.

These study guides are intended for use with the associated books by
Max Heindel. The guides contain two groups of questions for each
chapter in the respective book. The first group of questions for a
chapter are questions whose answer may be found somewhere in the
chapter. The second group of questions are labeled as "thought
questions." The answers to these questions are not given in the
chapter, but rather can be answered by relating what was said in the
chapter to one's own experience and by using one's creative
imagination.

symbolism, the keyword system of astrological interpretation, and the
Rosicrucian Philosophy.
Planetary Hours Programs
Displays listings of any day's planetary hours, their rulers, and the
times the hours start. Max Heindel has said that the study and use of
planetary hours can bring wonderful opportunities for soul growth if
they are used to help our fellowman. Now you can begin to use them in a
conscious, constructive way.

current problems the result of unresolved conflicts from past lives?
According to Many Lifetimes, the answers to these questions is YES!

to topic of reincarnation from different angles...
Winged Pharoah, by Joan Grant (1937)
The story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh's daughter. The ancient Egyptians
reserved the title of "Winged Pharaoh" for ruler-priests who possessed
extra-sensory powers. When Sekeeta demonstrates psychic abilities, she
is sent to the temple and trained to recall past lives. Upon the death
of her father, she becomes a "Winged Pharaoh" - both priestess and
Pharaoh - and leads her country with enlightenment. The most famous of
Joan Grant's "Far Memory" novels, this book brings the grandeur,
beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life. Upon Winged Pharaoh's
original publication in 1937, the New York Times called it "an unusual
book that shines with fire."

Beyond Esoteric - Escaping Prison Planet, by Brad Olsen (Dec 2020)
The Theology of Arithmetic, Translated by Robin Waterfield (1998)
This Is Not A Day Care - This Is A University [Or A
College] (2015)
Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and
narcissistic. Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims.
Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them “feel bad” about
themselves, is a “hater,” a “bigot,” an “oppressor,” and a
“victimizer.”
I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen.
That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is
called a conscience.

fact today), a review of the scientific evidence for magic, a series of

something elite athletes know a lot about), Radin then offers a vision
of a scientifically-informed magic and explains why magic will play a
key role in frontiers of science."

The Synchronicity Key – The Hidden Intelligence
Guiding the Universe
and You – by David Wilcox (2013)
“Science
and Spirit have finally caught up to each other. There is a ghost in
the machine. Life on Earth is nowhere near as random or haphazard as
many of us think. In this new science, everything is alive…” “This is
truly where synchronicity becomes a science… into the world of the
global and provable.”
The US Constitution and War and Emergency Powers Act -
A Summary Report on the Continuing National Emergency in the United
States of America, by Frater Bailey (2013)
Why do we have a "Classified Government and Classified Executive
Orders?"
Because the United States has already gone “Bankrupt” in March 1933 and
has created a “NATIONAL EMERGENCY!” We in the United States are still
in a state of “National Emergency” and the US government is now and has
been for 71 years in a “State of National Emergency.” Under that
“National Emergency” the US Government is being funded solely by the
Federal Reserve Bank, and the US Government is acting under the “WAR
AND EMERGENCY POWERS ACT”, which can and does supersede the application
of the US Constitution and your Constitutional Rights!!!
This is "NOT By the People and For The People!" This is "For
the Banks Using You as Slaves!"

Masonic Lodge, Los Altos, CA, 8/24/13.
The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery that Holds the
Secret of America's Future, by Jonathan Cahn (2012)
Before its end as a nation, there appeared in ancient Israel nine
specific warnings and omens of national destruction – These same nine
Harbingers are now manifesting in America with profound ramifications
for America’s future and end-time prophecy. Hidden in an ancient
biblical prophecy from Isaiah, the mysteries revealed in The Harbinger
are so precise that they foretell recent American events down to the
exact days… the 3,000-year-old mystery that revealed the exact date of
the stock market collapse of 2008… the ancient prophecy that was
proclaimed from the floor of the US Senate and then came true…and more.
The revelations are so specific that even the most hardened skeptic
will find it hard to put down. Though it sounds like the plot of a
Hollywood thriller – IT’S REAL.
Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers, by Stanton Friedman
and Kathleen Marden (2016)
The real information about Advanced Technologies, UFOs, and ETs is
classified by the US Government and the US Military as Top Secret
Codeword, way above anything else. Anything that you have heard about
these subjects is most probably wrong, lies, and disinformation -
including Project Bluebook, The Day After Roswell, etc. [The US
Government is Classified! See the War and Emergency Powers Act above.]

that the US
Government and the city of New York and others all wanted the Twin
Towers to be destroyed (originally published in 2000).
Inside Job - Unmasking the 9/11 Conspiracies, by Jim Marrs (2004)
The official story about 9/11 is discredited. That is the sobering
conclusion reached by millions of Americans, all across the political
spectrum, who have sifted through the evidence uncovered by hundreds of
independent researchers. Many honest citizens are now forced, with
sadness and reluctance, to make an almost unthinkable inference...

above.]

Frater Bailey's Music Selections
At the May 21, 2022, Study Group Meeting, Frater Bailey said
that he really likes music that begins in a soothing manner, and then
gradually became sad, and then intrusive, and then more and more
confronting, and
Then finishes in a mighty and supportive powerful climax.
He suggests that you should think of a problem that you are having and
to focus on that during listening to and feeling the music.
Frater Patrick’s music pieces that he suggested – in order of
increasing effectiveness and power – are:
Gladiolus Rag by Joshua Rifkin – Wonderful !
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)
Kitaro – Cosmic Love - Absolutely The Best For Prayer!
Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells (1973) – Outstanding !!! “I was locked in a room and listened... There is no other experience of music to this day...” (Short version - start at 15:43 to 25:25)
Mike Oldfield – Ommadawn (1975) – Goddess Prayers & Very Very Powerful !!! “Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and complex pieces within the repertoire of the genius of Mike Oldfield” (Short version - start at 11:58)
Kitaro - Cosmic Love (Live) – Wonderful !!!!! Very Very Powerful !

It will surprise many Masons who have never heard of that wonderful pack of playing cards, so-called because the four letters involved, written in a circle, that it may be interpreted “Rota Tora Orat Taro,” or “The Wheel of the Law Speaks By or Through the Tarot.”
Our ordinary deck has an interesting sort of mathematical parallelism — the 52 cards equalling the number of weeks in a year; the 365 spots in the pack, the days in a year; the 4 suits, the weeks in a month; and the 12 picture cards, the months in a year.
Checking... Middles have 4*(1+2+3...+8+9+10) + Opposite Corners have 4*2*10 + 4 on each Facecard 4*4*3= 4*(55+20+12) = 4*87 = 348... 17 short! Where??? Oops...
On the other hand, the sum of the numerical values of the cards (Ace = 1 to King =13) is 4*(1+2+...+12+13) + 1 = 4*91+1 = 365 when including the one Joker! Here is the proof.
Since the publication of Levi’s book the analysis has been virtually uniform. From Waite to Wirth, almost every commentator following Levi has adopted the reading of the Hermit card as prudence and has seen in the Temperance, Strength, Hermit, and Justice cards as allusion to Freemasonry’s four cardinal virtues: temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice. It is now the universally accepted reading among the vast majority of Tarot enthusiasts. Gebelin, Etteilla, and Levi’s Masonic hunches have now become Tarot law, so to speak, and the influence of Freemasonry will forever be felt, in the strange and fascinating world of the Tarot. For, anything less at this point just wouldn’t seem prudent.

The True History of the
Tarot

Some say that a great and ancient
wisdom is hidden in the images of the
Tarot deck. Recent research does
show that Tarot cards may indeed
have a mysterious origin and may well
have been intended as more than a
simple game.

The Masonic Roundtable
Were Freemasons behind the Tarot?
Episode 265

Get out your Tarot decks! This week,
the hosts of The Masonic Roundtable
discuss whether or not a connection
exists between the Tarot and
Freemasonry.

Éliphas Lévi (born Alphonse Louis Constant, 1810 –1875), wrote several books connecting the Tarot to both Masonry and the Kabbalah, the book of Jewish mysticism. Lévi, a Freemason, was a renowned French occultist and author whose works greatly influenced the growing numbers of esoteric and magical Orders of the 19th century.
In many of his books, including Transcendental Magic and The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum, Lévi associates the Tarot with the Jewish Kabbalah (the book of Jewish mysticism), and the Tetragrammaton (from Greek meaning “Consisting of four letters”), the Hebrew name of God, ( יהוה ) commonly pronounced Jehovah. The word Kabbala ( הל קב ) means “to receive.” It is a body of knowledge that is passed orally only when a student is deemed to be ready to receive. Lévi compared the Major Arcana to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life is used to understand and interpret the Tarot. The Tree of Life consists of ten spheres, referred to as Sefirot, which are connected by 22 different paths, expressing different interactions between the Sefirot: Kingdom, Foundation, Victory, Splendor, Beauty, Mercy, Severity, Wisdom, Understanding, and Crown. The paths of the Tree of Life correspond to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
The Sephirot are divided into three Pillars. The three Sephirot on the right comprise the “Pillar of Severity,” in the center is the “Pillar of Equilibrium,” and the left is known as the “Pillar of Mercy.” They allude to the qualities of God. The rigor of the right-hand pillar is modified by the benign left-hand one, so that Divine Justice is always tempered by Divine Mercy. C.W. King in his book, The Gnostics and Their Remains, explains the right pillar stands for the Pillar of Jachin and left pillar stands for the Pillar of Boaz. These pillars are labeled “J” and “B” on the High Priestess Card pictured on the next page.
The Tree of Life can be seen as acting in or through four worlds:
Atziluth
(Archetypal World), Briah (Creative World), Yetsirah (Formative World)
and
Assiah (Manifest World). The suits can be further refined as one of the
four
elements,
Tarot Suit Element Kabbalistic World
Pentacles Earth Assiah (Manifest World)
Swords Air Yetsirah (Formative World)
Cups Water Briah (Creative World)
Wands Fire Atziluth (Archetypal World)
This was how the Tarot was explained for divination: for example, Assiah is the Manifest World, corresponding to the element Earth; the Six of Pentacles corresponds to Tifereth in Assiah. Tifereth is the sefira of balance and beauty, and Assiah the manifest, material world; hence the Six of Pentacles in the Tarot deck has meanings associated with putting money to good use, generosity, nobility and deserved success.
In his book, The Book of Ceremonial Magic, Waite describes the Kabbalah and Ceremonial Magic. Ceremonial Magic uses symbols to convey ideas and stories. He says symbolism “is treated either as a barren mystification, a collection of supremely absurd treatises, in which obscure nonsense is enunciated with preternatural solemnity, or it is regarded as a body of theosophy, written chiefly in the form of symbolism.” The Kabbalah is “a storehouse of symbolism, the inner sense of which is or may be of importance.”
In his book, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, Waite states the “Tarot embodies symbolical presentations of universal ideas, behind which lie all the implicits [sic] of the human mind, and it is in this sense that they contain secret doctrine, which is the realization by the few of truths embedded in the consciousness of all, though they have not passed into express recognition by ordinary men.” The pictures, icons, and symbols of the Tarot present ideals and truths universal to man, regardless of culture.
The emblematic picture cards of a tarot deck, the Major Arcana, or “series of the twenty-two trumps, will give a ‘connected sentence’ which is capable of being read thus:--The Human Will (1) enlightened by Science (2) and manifested by Action (3) should find its Realisation (4) in deeds of Mercy and Beneficence (5). The Wise Disposition (6) of this will give him Victory (7) through Equilibrium (8) and Prudence (9), over the fluctuations of Fortune (10). Fortitude (11), sanctified by Sacrifice of Self (12), will triumph over Death itself (13), and thus a Wise Combination (14) will enable him to defy Fate (15). In each Misfortune (16) he will see the Star of Hope (17) shine through the twilight of Deception (18); and ultimate Happiness (19) will be the Result (20). Folly (21), on the other hand, will bring about an evil Reward (22).”
