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.

Rosicrucian Online University
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.

The Rosicrucian Fellowship Astrology Calculation Program
Calculates natal, progressed, solar arc and transit data and displays single, dual and triple chart wheels that can be printed in color for those who have a color printer. Other features include solar and lunar returns, synastry charts, planetary hours, keywords, lunations and daily transit interpretations. PLUS there are many text files which contain the teachings of Max Heindel regarding astrology, its 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.

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.

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!"  Presented at the Golden State College S.R.I.C.F. Meeting, at Los Altos 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.]

UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On The Record, by Leslie Kean (2010)
This is terrific book, researched with great care and precision."

The Ultimate Alien Agenda: The Re-engineering of Humankind, by James Walkden (1998)

What they don't reveal is the reason the aliens have for such testing? Until now...

Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300, by Dr. John Coleman (1935)

Divided We Stand - A Biography of New York's World Trade Center, by Eric Darton (1999)
Chronicles the life of this billion-dollar building, using it as a lens through which to view the broader twentieth-century trend toward urbanized, global culture. The book factually and CLEARLY points out 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... [The US Government is Classified! See the War and Emergency Powers Act above.]

9/11 Conspiracy Solved (43 Minute Video) (2012)
Operation Hammer, 10 year securities - due on 9/12/01 - which were used to crash the Soviet economy in oil and gas, and the Great Ruble Scam. Really Great Documentary Video on 9-11: Who/What/Why/Where/How: 9-11 Solved (43 min)! The events of September 11, 2001 have left lasting scars on the psyche of America and other countries around the world. It set in motion a global understanding of modern terrorism, and sparked an ongoing war that shows no signs of abating. The desire to come to terms with this cataclysmic moment in history has taken many forms over the years - from somber mourning to reignited patriotism to outright rage.

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 !


Masonry and the Tarot - Summary References
Southern California Research Lodge
Fraternal Review Magazine September 2019 [9.4.19]

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.

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?

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).”
