“Offer not your right hand easily to everyone” – Pythagoras
33rd Degree Freemason and Sovereign Pontiff of the Scottish Rite, Albert Pike had written tha the clasped hands was another symbol which was used by Pythagoras.
Over time, the handshake of the Gnostic Pythagoreans became the secret Masonic handshake of the Freemasons to announce to fellow Brothers they were followers of the Gnosis. Robert Freke Gold explains this fact in “The History of Freemasonry, Its Antiquities, Symbols …, Volume 1

It has been maintained, that the intermediaries in passing ou the “Masonic Grip” from the Ancients to the Moderns, were the followers of the Gnosis, amongst whom symbols and tokens for mutual recognition were well known. At least, so we are informed by Epiphanius, whose early experiences as a Manichean (before his elevation to the episcopate), specially qualify him to enlighten us on this point.
Iamblicus: “The meaning of this symbol is, do not draw up, nor endeavor to raise, by extending your right hand, the unadopted and uninitiated. It also signifies that the right hand is not to be given easily even to those who have for a long time proved themselves worthy of it, through disciplines, and doctrines, and the participation of continence, the quinquennial silence/ and other probationary trials.”‘ It has been maintained, that the intermediaries in passing ou the “Masonic Grip” from the Ancients to the Moderns, were the followers of the Gnosis, amongst whom symbols and tokens for mutual recognition were well known. At least, so we are informed by Epiphanius, whose early experiences as a Manichean (before his elevation to the episcopate), specially qualify him to enlighten us on this point. On the arrival of any stranger, he says, belonging to the same belief, they have a sign given by the man to the woman, and vice versd. In holding out the hand, under pretence of saluting each other, they feel it and tickle it in a particular manner underneath the palm, and so discover if the new comer belongs to the same sect.’

To this day the Parsees of Western India, after prayers on Pappati or New Year’s Day, visit their friends and relations, when the Hamma-i-jour or “joining of hands” is performed.’ A symbolic language appears to have existed in the old monasteries, the signs not being optional, but transmitted from antiquity, and taught like the alphabet.”
Pike had written, “It represented the number 10, the sacred number in which all the preceding numbers were contained; the number expressed by the mysterious Tetractys, a figure borrowed by him and the Hebrew priests alike from the Egyptian sacred science, and which ought to be replaced among the symbols of the Masters degree, where it of right belongs.

By Bro.’ Albert Pike – After the destruction of the city and temple, some of the Hebrew initiates were carried away as captives into 
Assyria ; others escaped into Egypt, Persia, Phoenica, Syria, the desert of the Thebald, and even into Greece, Etruria and India.
At a later day, in Phoenician vessels, they penetrated into England, Scotland, and Ireland and other European regions. (more…)

And from each pilgrim this be heard, As from one humble voice to-day: “Honor to Hiram,—Masons’ lord, “Honor and gratitude we pay!”
The Masonic King Hiram (Huram, CHiram) is a Phoenician who hailed from the ancient holy Island of Crete in the time of Ramesses II and III. Crete was the main home political and Navy base for the ancient Phoenicians for thousands of years, and today we can find the remnants of the first and second Temple of Solomon in ruins at the ancient city of Gnosis, also known as Knossos.
At the time of Hiram and Phoenician rule, It was a mountainous island covered with forests of cedar, cypress, oak, and fir that provided the necessary materials to build Solomon’s Temple, and plenty of skilled Masons, metal workers and mercenary soldiers to complete the job. In fact, there is no other place or people in the history world that would have had the man power with the skills, materials and ships to carry out such a monumental task. We not only have to study history and the scientific evidence to discover who King Hiram was and what country he was from, we also have to use basic common sense and reasoning.
The name of Crete and the surrounding lands they controlled was once called Phoenicia and the people Phoenicians by their cousins who came later, the Greeks. In the Scripture, they are called many names such as the Sidonians, Cretans, Hebrews, Philistines and Canaanites. They called themselves Canaanites from Sidonia. The meaning of the word Canaanite is merchant and it is no secret that they were some of the most well known and traveled merchants that the world has ever known for thousands of years. In fact, they are credited with giving birth to Western civilization which is said to be born on the Holy Island of Crete. (more…)

The stuff we call food in many Western countries would have our ancestors rolling in their graves. From chemical laced additives that 
cause a plethora of various diseases such as cancer, to genetically modified organisms (GMO) that we call food. Not only is our food being modified, it is also being tampered with and things such as human DNA are being found in our food such as in this case below.
Our new food realities resemble something cooked up in a cheesy horror movie by the Doctor of Frakenstein in some dark dungeon that we call scientific laboratories. This isn’t some B movie with a weak script coming from a washed up Hollyweird writer after a moth long cocaine binge.
Keep in mind that this is our real lives folks, and this food is coming to our super market shelves that is stamped and approved by our governing authorities who have deemed it fit for human consumption. (more…)

Here have we war for war and blood for blood, Controlment for controlment – Shakespeare, King John
Blood is the seat of our soul. It is said that he who controls the blood, controls the mind. In the stressful and poisonous world that we live in today, many people do not control their blood. Therefor, they are easily mind controlled because they are poisoning their very own blood supply with their poisonous thoughts, harmful actions and passion filled lives. A combination, that not only makes them easily mind controlled, but also sick, and over time, it eventually kills them.
This is the AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT of Gnosticism and Alchemy. In order to KNOW THYSELF, we first need to know how thyself operates. Part of this process involves the study of the occult mysteries of health, universal laws of nature, energies of science and becoming medically familiar with the human body. One of the subjects that I would like to explore today, is blood alchemy and the bible. Two very important subjects that go hat in hand, or what I’d like to call, ‘Theoalchemy.’ Theo meaning, relating to God or deities,and alchemy meaning the human chemistry based on the supposed transformation of matter.
HOW YOUR TEMPERAMENT AFFECTS YOUR BLOOD, HEALTH AND AURA
In alchemy and science, color is very important when it comes to the aspects of man. From our blood within, to our aura without. It is all connected. We are all consciously, and some of us unconsciously choosing our own colors of health or disease by our thoughts, actions and lives. The German-Swiss Renaissance alchemist and occultist, Paracelsus confirms this when he had written that the causes of disease can be classified under five heads, among them Psychological causes and that could be cured Psychologically, by mind and faith.
The meaning of temperament is “a person’s animal nature, and especially as it permanently affects their behavior.” This is different from an occasional change of your moods that we can experience and that vary from day-to-day. Your temperament is your overall tone or vibration and energy or astral aura that is you most of the time. For example, if you are in bad mood often and have a tendency to be overly negative, you would be considered to have a bad temper or negative temperament.
In science, temperament or erasis, meaning mixture or tempering of elements, fire (phosphorus and sulfur), air (oxygen), 
earth (carbon), water (H2O). This is where the modern alchemist must practice the art of healthful balance with his mind, thoughts, actions, diet and living. A way of life, that I would like to call “Modern Gnosticism and Alchemy.” A simple method of human operation, that involves the proper management of these chemical energies within our bodies and that we can help regulate with a healthy temperament via positive thoughts, healthy actions and happy lives.
“An animal or a plant cannot be entirely hot—that is, consist wholly of fire; nor can it be wholly moist, as is the element of water: there must necessarily be a mixture or tempering of qualities, and the individual temperament is designated from that quality which super abounds.”
Our temperaments directly relate to the alchemical color aspects of our blood and also the color of our “energy aura.” This bad attitude eventually turns your red blood dark by heating the ‘temperature’ of your normal helpful chemical energies such as phosphorus, sulfur and homocysteine in your blood. What this does, is change them into harmful gasses and acids such as sulfur dioxide which is the product of the burning of sulfur or of burning materials that contain sulfur and that will simply kill you over time if you do not correct these abuses of your mind and body.
Our goal as modern Gnostics and Alchemists, would be to master the science of being human. A science, that not only includes the acquirement of knowledge, but also the implementation of this knowledge into our lives and families. A Gnosis (knowledge) that cannot only transform us into healthy individuals, but also change our very chemical beings into light and truth in order to become closer to God, rather than dark souls like that of Satan. Fallen stars from the pride of Lucifer who can again become immortal through the teachings of Christ in which we resurrect ourselves back from the grave and our fallen states.
