The initiated brother realizes that his so called symbols and rituals are merely blinds fabricated by the wise

By Manly P. Hall – “The initiated brother realizes that his so called symbols and rituals are merely blinds fabricated by the wise to perpetuate ideassigns and symbols incomprehensible to the average individual.

He also realizes that few Masons of today know appreciate the mystic meaning concealed within these rituals.

With religious faith we perpetuate the form, worshiping it instead of the life, but those who have not recognized the truth in the crystallized ritual, those who have not liberated the spiritual germ from the shell of empty words, are not Masons, regardless of their physical degrees and outward honors.

Meaning of Kali

Kali (black), or Kali Ma (the Black Mother) is the Terrible Hindu War Goddess (or Devi) of time, crime, death, destruction and Kali yugadoomesday who demands bloody sacrifice of both animals and humans. Her iconography, cult, and mythology is also often associated with sexuality, and violence. Kali makes her first major appearance in Sanskrit culture in the Devi Mahatmya (“The Glorifications of the Goddess,” c. 6th century ce).  She is sometimes called Durga or Tara, also Parvati.

Kali is often depicted entwined with serpents; a necklace of skulls; a girdle of dissevered human hands holding various weapons of death; and sometimes tigers crouching at her feet. You will also find Kali with her husband dead under her feet, a long black tongue protruding from her mouth with blood dripping, several arms that are extended, one hand grasping a sword, another the head of a giant, and the other two signalling to her hosts. Intoxicated with the blood of her foes, her eyes flash with rage, her eyebrows are dyed with crimson, and her blood flows down her breast.

Before I explain the Goddess Kali further, as I have stated before many times in other articles, all Gods and Goddesses have always represented the As Above planets as the So Below representatives on earth.

Kali is no different.

Although there are many different descriptions, depictions and even variations of names for this death Goddess, in the end they all point to the same meaning which Kali represents that I will explain below.

The Master can manipulate time pro actively, where the novice can only react to the events
