The Serpent entwined round an [Orphic] Egg referred to the creation of the Universe

By Albert Pike – “Among the Egyptians, the serpent was a symbol of Divine Wisdom; and, with its tail in its mouth (Ouroboros), of OuroborosEternity.

In the ritual of Zoroaster, it was a symbol of the Universe.

In China, the ring between 2 Serpents was the symbol of the world governed by the power and wisdom of the Creator.

Hence the Serpent entwined round an [Orphic] Egg referred to the creation of the Universe.”

Mental Transmutation is the Art of Mental Chemistry

“Mental Transmutation means the art of changing and transforming mental states, forms, and conditions, into others. So you may see mental transmutationthat Mental Transmutation is the Art of Mental Chemistry.” – The Kybalion

The truth is, that beneath the material chemistry, astronomy and psychology (that is, the psychology in its phase of “brain action”), the ancients possessed a knowledge of transcendental astronomy, called astrology; of transcendental chemistry, called alchemy; of transcendental psychology, called mystic psychology.

They possessed the Inner Knowledge as well as the Outer Knowledge, the latter alone being possessed by modern scientists. Among the many secret branches of knowledge possessed by the Hermetists, was that known as Mental Transmutation, which forms the subject matter of this lesson. (more…)

True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art

“Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted, from state to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; Universe is mindvibration to vibration. True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art.”—The Kybalion.

As we have stated, the Hermetists were the original alchemists, astrologers, and psychologists, Hermes having been the founder of these schools of thought.

From astrology has grown modern astronomy; from alchemy has grown modern chemistry; from the mystic psychology has grown the modern psychology of the schools. But it must not be supposed that the ancients were ignorant of that which the modern schools suppose to be their exclusive and special property. (more…)

Karl Marx on Freemasonry

Karl Marx Lions PawMarx Quote –I should not be surprised, indeed, to find the Pope setting down the whole insurrection to their account.

“1871 Interview with Karl Marx, the prophet, Pope and head of L’Internationale

Landor:    …what is the International Society?

Dr. Marx:    You have only to look at the individuals of which it is composed — workmen.

Landor:    Yes, but the soldier need be no exponent of the statecraft that sets him in motion. I know some of your members, and I can believe that they are not of the stuff of which conspirators are made. Besides, a secret shared by a million men would be no secret at all. But what if these were only the instruments in the hands of a bold, and, I hope you will forgive me for adding, not overscrupulous conclave?

Dr. Marx:    There is nothing to prove.

Landor:    The last Paris insurrection?

Dr. Marx:    I demand firstly the proof that there was any plot at all — that anything happened that was not the legitimate effect of the circumstances of the moment; or the plot granted, I demand the proofs of the participation in it of the International Association.

Landor:    The presence of the communal body of so many members of the Association.

Dr. Marx:    Then it was a plot of the Freemasons, too, for their share in the work as individuals was by no means a slight one. I should not be surprised, indeed, to find the Pope setting down the whole insurrection to their account. But try another explanation. The insurrection in Paris was made by the workmen of Paris. The ablest of the workmen must necessarily have been its leaders and administration, but the ablest of the workmen happen also to be members of the International Association. Yet, the Association, as such, may be in no way responsible for their action. (more…)
