The word cosmos, or kosmos (Greek κόσμος) means “beauty of arrangement.” The meaning of the word was first applied to creation by one of the greatest Greek philosophers and mathematicians ever, Pythagoras of Samos. Today, the English standard version of the meaning is order, good order, orderly arrangement, along with other meanings you can also find which are “Order of Creation,” and “Order of the World.”
It is interesting that the compound word Kos’mos, may also have another ancient hidden meaning that has never been revealed, until now. This meaning would come down to us from Pythagoras, who happened to also reside and worship Apollo on an island that was once named Kos or Cos. In various books that have been written about Pythagoras, it is said he traveled to Crete in order to be initiated in the cave where the God Zeus was hid and educated by the Idaean Dactyls, also known as the “Curetes, Telchines, Priesthood of Jupiter or Pan.”
After his initiation into this ancient priesthood, Pythagoras then traveled to the island across from Crete called Delos, in order to worship at the bloodless alter of the God Apollo, at the House of Asklepios (iEsculapius). This island Delos has also went by many names throughout history such as Cos, Kos, Lemnos, and now, Dia which is an ancient name for Zeus or Jupiter.
A Kohen or Kohain; Hebrew: כֹּהֵן, pl. כֹּהֲנִים Kohanim is simply a Hebrew (Phoenician) word for priest. Kos (Dia) is the same island, where about 100 years after Pythagoras had visited there, the Father of Modern Medicine and a great philosopher himself, Hippocrates was practicing his medical craft and laying the foundations of truth and knowledge in his school, not only on the island of Kos, but also around the world. The Apostle Paul had also visited this island of Kos (Coos) as described in Acts 21: “And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara.”
THE COSMOS OF HUMANITY MANAGED VIA ORDO AB CHAO
The Freemasons, along with various Knight orders working more often than not at times and directed by the Church, were the custodians of this hidden knowledge from people such as Pythagoras. This would make them the defacto masters of the SO BELOW kosmos, which is almost all humanity, since after all like Carl Sagan had once famously said, “we are all made of star-dust.” He also said, “A galaxy is composed of gas and dust and stars—billions upon billions of stars.(Carl Sagan, Cosmos, page 3) Just like a galaxy, our human bodies are composed of the same billions of cells, gas and chemical energies found in the heavens. This order of the SO BELOW star-dust of humanity is an orderly plan from chaos based on the heavens which is simply an AS ABOVE, SO BELOW event. Hence, the Latin phrase which is the motto of the 33rd Degree of Freemasonry, “ORDO AB CHAO.” In English this means, “ORDER FROM CHAOS.”
ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD COSMOS (KOSMOS)
The meaning of the word Kos is Order, and Mos means “to manage, to direct, or I direct my will for you.” In English, the phrase “to tread in the steps of another.” This is why poets such as Shakespeare say all the worlds a stage and we all play our parts, or in modern media with the movie ” the Matrix”, where the newly awoken slave, Neo has a cool handler named Morpheus (God of Dreams & Sleep) who calls this world “the Matrix” and tells Neo that he can choose his own reality with the red pill or the blue pill.
COSMIC HUMAN COSMOPOLITE CONCLUSION
A type of man-made ORDO AB CHAO stage or game, where each one of us gets to not only choose our roles we wish to play, but also between mortality or immortality. Hence, you can choose to strive for the spiritual balance of the AS ABOVE light of the cosmos, and live a truly cosmic life with the combination of the darkness of materiality in our incarnated bodies on the SO BELOW as a ‘cosmopolite’, or what I like to call myself, “a citizen of the world.” A world citizen, in a New World Order that has been planned for thousands of years by the priesthood from Kos who were one of the first developers of the true “Order of the World.”

This past July 2013, the newly elected Pope Francis had issued a formal law decree from the Vatican that was addressed to all the public officials of the Roman Curia around the world. In this letter, Pope Francis had said; “In our times, the common good is increasingly threatened by transnational organized crime, the improper use of the markets and of the economy, as well as by terrorism.
It is therefore necessary for the international community to adopt adequate legal instruments to prevent and counter criminal activities, by promoting international judicial cooperation on criminal matters. In ratifying numerous international conventions in these areas, and acting also on behalf of Vatican City State, the Holy See has constantly maintained that such agreements are effective means to prevent criminal activities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace.” (more…)

“The practice of magick – either white or black – depends upon the ability of the adept to control the universal life force – that which Eliphas Levi calls the great magical agent or astral light….in the arcanum of magic it is declared that ‘he controls the soul who controls the blood of another.”
True black magic is performed with the aid of a demoniacal spirit, who serves the sorcerer for the length of his earthly life, with the understanding that after death the magician shall become the servant of his own demon. For this reason a black magician will go to inconceivable ends to prolong his physical life, since there is nothing for him beyond the grave. – Manly P. Hall
(Source: Many P. Hall Secret Teachings of All Ages) – CEREMONIAL magic is the ancient art of invoking and controlling spirits by a scientific application of certain formulae. A magician, enveloped in sanctified vestments and carrying a wand inscribed with hieroglyphic figures, could by the power vested in certain words and symbols control the invisible inhabitants of the elements and of the astral world. While the elaborate ceremonial magic of antiquity was not necessarily evil, there arose from its perversion several false schools of sorcery, or black magic.
Egypt, a great center of learning and the birthplace of many arts and sciences, furnished an ideal environment for Transcendental experimentation. Here the black magicians of Atlantis continued to exercise their superhuman powers until they had completely undermined and corrupted the morals of the primitive Mysteries. By establishing a sacerdotal caste they usurped the position formerly occupied by the initiates, and seized the reins of spiritual government.
Thus black magic dictated the state religion and paralyzed the intellectual and spiritual activities of the individual by demanding his complete and unhesitating acquiescence in the dogma formulated by the priestcraft. The Pharaoh became a puppet in the hands of the Scarlet Council — a committee of archsorcerers elevated to power by the priesthood.
These sorcerers then began the systematic destruction of all keys to the ancient wisdom, so that none might have access to the knowledge necessary to reach adeptship without first becoming one of their order. They mutilated the rituals of the Mysteries while professing to preserve them, so that even though the neophyte passed through the degrees he could not secure the knowledge to which he was entitled. Idolatry was introduced by encouraging the worship of the images which in the beginning the wise had erected solely as symbols for study and meditation.
False interpretations were given to the emblems and figures of the Mysteries, and elaborate theologies were created to confuse the minds of their devotees. The masses, deprived of their birthright of understanding and groveling in ignorance, eventually became the abject slaves of the spiritual impostors. Superstition universally prevailed and the black magicians completely dominated national affairs, with the result that humanity still suffers from the sophistries of the priestcrafts of Atlantis and Egypt.
Fully convinced that their Scriptures sanctioned it, numerous medieval Qabbalists devoted their lives to the practice of ceremonial magic. The transcendentalism of the Qabbalists is founded upon the ancient and magical formula of King Solomon, who has long been considered by the Jews as the prince of ceremonial magicians.
Among the Qabbalists of the Middle Ages were a great number of black magicians who strayed from the noble concepts of the Sepher Yetzirah and became enmeshed in demonism and witchcraft. They sought to substitute magic mirrors, consecrated daggers, and circles spread around posts of coffin nails, for the living of that virtuous life which, without the assistance of complicated rituals or submundane creatures, unfailingly brings man to the state of true individual completion.
Those who sought to control elemental spirits through ceremonial magic did so largely with the hope of securing from the invisible worlds either rare knowledge or supernatural power. The little red daemon of Napolean Bonaparte and the infamous oracular heads of de Medici are examples of the disastrous results of permitting elemental beings to dictate the course of human procedure.
While the learned and godlike daemon of Socrates seems to have been an exception, this really proves that the intellectual and moral status of the magician has much to do with the type of elemental he is capable of invoking. But even the daemon of Socrates deserted the philosopher when the sentence of death was passed.
Transcendentalism and all forms of phenomenalistic magic are but blind alleys — outgrowths of Atlantean sorcery; and those who forsake the straight path of philosophy to wander therein almost invariably fall victims to their imprudence. Man, incapable of controlling his own appetites, is not equal to the task of governing the fiery and tempestuous elemental spirits.
Many a magician has lost his life as the result of opening a way whereby submundane creatures could become active participants in his affairs. When Eliphas Levi invoked the spirit of Apollonius of Tyana, what did he hope to accomplish? Is the gratification of curiosity a motive sufficient to warrant the devotion of an entire lifetime to a dangerous and unprofitable pursuit? If the living Apollonius refused to divulge his secrets to the profane, is there any probability that after death he would disclose them to the curious-minded?
Levi himself did not dare to assert that the specter which appeared to him was actually the great philosopher, for Levi realized only too well the proclivity of elementals to impersonate those who have passed on. The majority of modern mediumistic apparitions are but elemental creatures masquerading through bodies composed of thought substance supplied by the very persons desiring to behold these wraiths of decarnate beings.
The Theory and Practice of Black Magic
Baphomet: The Goat of Mendes
The practice of magick – either white or black – depends upon the ability of the adept to control the universal life force – that which Eliphas Levi calls the great magical agent or astral light.
By the manipulation of this fluidic essence, the phenomena of transcendentalism are produced.
The famous hermaphroditic Goat of Mendes was a composite creature formulated to symbolize this astral light. It is identical with Baphomet, the mystic pantheos of those disciples of ceremonial magic, the Templars, who probably obtained it from the Arabians.
Some understanding of the intricate theory and practice of ceremonial magic may be derived from a brief consideration of its underlying premises.
First. The visible universe has an invisible counterpart, the higher planes of which are peopled by good and beautiful spirits; the lower planes, dark and foreboding, are the habitation of evil spirits and demons under the leadership of the Fallen Angel and his ten Princes.
Second. By means of the secret processes of ceremonial magic it is possible to contact these invisible creatures and gain their help in some human undertaking. Good spirits willingly lend their assistance to any worthy enterprise, but the evil spirits serve only those who live to pervert and destroy.
Third. It is possible to make contracts with spirits whereby the magician becomes for a stipulated time the master of an elemental being.
Fourth. True black magic is performed with the aid of a demoniacal spirit, who serves the sorcerer for the length of his earthly life, with the understanding that after death the magician shall become the servant of his own demon. For this reason a black magician will go to inconceivable ends to prolong his physical life, since there is nothing for him beyond the grave.
The most dangerous form of black magic is the scientific perversion of occult power for the gratification of personal desire. Its less complex and more universal form is human selfishness, for selfishness is the fundamental cause of all worldly evil. A man will barter his eternal soul for temporal power, and down through the ages a mysterious process has been evolved which actually enables him to make this exchange.
In its various branches the black art includes nearly all forms of ceremonial magic, necromancy, witchcraft, sorcery, and vampirism. Under the same general heading are also included mesmerism and hypnotism, except when used solely for medical purposes, and even then there is an element of risk for all concerned.
Though the demonism of the Middle Ages seems to have disappeared, there is abundant evidence that in many forms of modern thought — especially the so-called “prosperity” philosophy, “will-power building” metaphysics, and systems of “high-pressure” salesmanship — black magic has merely passed through a metamorphosis, and although its name be changed its nature remains the same.
A well-known magician of the Middle Ages was Dr. Johannes Faustus, more commonly known as Dr. Faust. By a study of magical writings he was enabled to bind to his service an elemental who served him for many years in various capacities. Strange legends are told concerning the magical powers possessed by Dr. Faust. Upon one occasion the philosopher, being apparently in a playful mood, threw his mantle over a number of eggs in a market-woman’s basket, causing them to hatch instantly. At another time, having fallen overboard from a small boat, he was picked up and returned to the craft with his clothes still dry.
But, like nearly all other magicians, Dr. Faust came at length to disaster; he was found one morning with a knife in his back, and it was commonly believed that his familiar spirit had murdered him. Although Goethe’s Dr. Faust is generally regarded as merely a fictional character, this old magician actually lived during the sixteenth century. Dr. Faust wrote a book describing his experiences with spirits, a section of which is reprinted below. (Dr. Faust must not be confused with Johann Fust, the printer.)
“While the black magician at the time of signing his pact with the elemental demon may be fully convinced that he is strong enough to control indefinitely the powers placed at his disposal, he is speedily undeceived. Before many years elapse he must turn all his energies to the problem of self-preservation. A world of horrors to which he has attuned himself by his own covetousness looms nearer every day, until he exists upon the edge of a seething maelstrom, expecting momentarily to to be sucked down into its turbid depths.
Afraid to die — because he will become the servant of his own demon — the magician commits crime after crime to prolong his wretched earthly existence. Realizing that life is maintained by the aid of a mysterious universal life force which is the common property of all creatures, the black magician often becomes an occult vampire, stealing this energy from others. According to mediaeval superstition, black magicians turned themselves into werewolves and roamed the earth at night, attacking defenseless victims for the life force contained in their blood.”
Extract From the Book of Dr. Faust, Wittenberg, 1524 (An abridged translation from the original German of a book ordered destroyed.)
“From my youth I followed art and science and was tireless in my reading of books. Among those which came to my hand was a volume containing all kinds of invocations and magical formulae. In this book I discovered information to the effect that a spirit, whether he be of the fire, the water, the earth or the air, can be compelled to do the will of a magician capable of controlling him. I also discovered that according as one spirit has more power than another, each is adapted for a different operation and each is capable of producing certain supernatural effects.
“After reading this wonderful book, I made several experiments, desiring to test the accuracy of the statements made therein. At first I had little faith that what was promised would take place. But at the very first invocation which I attempted a mighty spirit manifested to me, desiring to know why I had manifested him. His coming so amazed me that I scarcely knew what to say, but finally asked him if he would serve me in my magical investigations. He replied that if certain conditions were agreed upon he would. The conditions were that I should make a pact with him. This I did not desire to do, but as in my ignorance I had not protected myself with a circle and was actually at the mercy of the spirit, I did not dare to refuse his request and resigned myself to the inevitable, considering it wisest to to turn my mantle according to the wind.
“I then told him that if he would be serviceable to my desires and requests and needs for a certain length of time, I would sign myself over to him. After the pact had been arranged, this mighty spirit, whose name was Ashteroth, [“Ashtar” -B:.B:.] introduced me to another spirit by the name of Marbuel, who was appointed to be my servant. I questioned Marbuel as to his suitability for my needs. I asked him how quick he was, and he answered, ‘As swift as the winds.’ This did not satisfy me, so I replied, ‘You cannot become my servant. Go again whence you have come.’ Soon another spirit manifested itself, whose name was Aniguel.
Upon asking him the same question, he answered that he was swift as a bird in the air. I said, ‘You are still too slow for me. Go whence you came.’ In the same moment another spirit by the name of Aciel manifested himself. For the third time I asked my question and he answered, ‘I am as swift as human thought.’ ‘You shall serve me,’ I replied. This spirit was faithful for a long time, but to tell you how he served me is not possible in a document of this length and I will here only indicate how spirits are to be invoked and how the circles for protection are to be prepared. There are many kinds of spirits which will permit themselves to be invoked by man and become his servant.

The meaning of the name Zion is ‘stone’, and the meaning of Mount Zion is “The Mount of Stone.”(1) In the bible, Zion was the hill in Jerusalem on which the city of David was built; and to the Christians, it is the heavenly city or kingdom of heaven.
The ancient symbology of the stone and mountain, had originated from the black cube-shaped stone that represents the Greek Goddess Cybele who fell to earth as a meteor to Mount Ida on the Holy Island of Crete. This is the island where the King of the Gods, Zeus (Jupiter) was born and hidden in a cave on the same said mountain. The symbols of Cybele are, the black cube stone, meteor, cornucopia, mural crown, chariot and lions.
She is the “Great Mountain Mother (Mater Idaea or Idaean Mother)”, who was often depicted in a chariot drawn by lions as if she was circling her pray. Virgil had said that the King Aeneas had ships sacred to Cybele and had decorated his ship’s prow in representation of the sacred Mount Ida and a pair of lions. In Rome, Cybele was known as the Magna Mater. (more…)

Later today on the Gnostic Warrior Radio Show and Podcast we have the pleasure of interviewing author Robert W. Sullivan IV. Robert is a philosopher, historian, antiquarian, jurist, theologian, writer, and lawyer who will discuss the esoteric doctrines contained in his new book “The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism.” The video below by Robert was taken in the library of the Scottish Rite Temple, Baltimore, Maryland, USA where he explains his book which is the result of over twenty years of research that is a true life “Da Vinci Code/National Treasure.”
“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” — Genesis 5:24. The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism documents an undiscovered historical anomaly: how a high degree Masonic Ritual — developed in France in the mid 1700’s — included elements of the Book of Enoch (a/k/a I Enoch) which was considered lost until Freemason and traveler James Bruce returned to Europe with copies from Ethiopia in 1773. These copies were not translated into English until 1821 at Oxford University. This high degree ritual — titled The Royal Arch of Enoch — documents the recovery of the “Lost Word of a Master Mason“, the Name of God.
It is this ritual in particular that has defined, among other things, the American national character. The Royal Arch of Enoch also documents the symbolic restoration of the sun as the premier icon in all of Freemasonry and as the supreme emblem of imperial administration and religiosity lifted from the Ancient Mysteries, incorporated in the Abrahamic faiths, and carried on in both Blue Lodge and High Degree Masonry.

Kos, or what is now called Dia, is a dragon shaped island that sits just 7 miles across the sea from the island named after creation, Crete. This island is where the original Hebrew Cohen Levite Priesthood had originated, or one of their homelands before they were eventually banished from Crete and Kos by the Romans. Back around the time of Pythagoras, the family and people from this island were simply known as the Koans (Koans or Kohens) of Kos (Cos or Coos). The people from the ancient island that was once known as Kos, (Cos, Coos, Ceus, Zia etc) are mentioned in the time of Alexander the Great as some of the most powerful people in the Mediterranean Sea. I have written many articles on the Kohen of Kos such as The Origins of the Kohen Priesthood, The Lost Priesthood of the Kohen, and Kohen Levite DNA.
