53: Scientific Belief and the Secret Schools
In a sense, the effect of beliefs
on reality was the foundational basis for all of the esoteric teachings within the ancient mystery schools. It was applied to the
design of the teachings for each of the various levels of initiation, with each higher level
teaching a new level of understanding that was a slight variation of the one
before. Each higher level of teaching reveals more of the illusion that has
been purposely cast over the true laws governing reality. The original secret
schools of the ancient world may have held this
knowledge in its purest form, and lesser understandings
of the original knowledge spread with the development of later schools, such as
Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism.
The knowledge that has been so guarded by the mystery
schools for so many millennia has always centered on
the true nature of reality, and has perhaps been regarded as too dangerous for
ordinary men to possess. This knowledge has been kept secret from the masses, who instead have been given a
more limiting belief system that effectively denies their true individuality
and full potential and traps them within the confines of this physical reality.
The development of mechanistic science as the new belief system for the masses was
purposely directed so that the power of consciousness was not included within its framework of understanding,
and this has guaranteed that the true knowledge governing reality was never to
be fully realized by adherents to the scientific framework.
Many of the greatest minds in
science, as well as many lesser scientists, have been known to be
high adepts of Freemasonry and/or Rosicrucianism. This includes Leonardo
da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, Robert Hooke, Robert Boyle, Christian Huygens, Leibniz, Hume Brown, Charles Darwin, Christopher Wren, John Wilkins, Edmund Halley, etc. This shows us how
entangled Freemasonry already was within the scientific revolution at its
inception, and the influence it would have had on these scientific minds and
their ideas, as opposed to any others.
Sir Francis Bacon is said to have founded modern Freemasonry in England. After his death, his
disciples went on to form the Royal Society of London in 1660, which has since played a major role
in deciding what will be accepted as established scientific fact and what is
not.
The Royal Society was created at a time when the Church was still quite active burning witches at the stake. Even to question the dogma of
the Church at the time would bring the scorn of the Inquisition, as Galileo experienced only twenty-seven years before, in
1633. Galileo, however, was fortunate to avoid the normal punishment of being
burned alive at the stake by recanting his scientific theories and pledging his
blind faith in the Church’s authority. Even so, he had to spend the remainder
of his life in prison. It was a very dangerous undertaking for this group of
intellectuals to form together only twenty-seven years later and create an
organization that ignored theological belief entirely, and which was intended
to develop an entirely new understanding of our world, and yet for some reason
it was allowed to occur. All of the founding members of the Royal Society were Freemasons. These founders were: the
Right Reverend John Wilkins, Viscount William
Brouncker, the Right Honourable
Robert Boyle, Alexander Bruce (Earl of Kincardine), Sir Robert Moray, Sir Paul Niele, Dr. Jonathan Goddard, Dr. William Petty, William Ball, Laurence Rooke, Sir Christopher Wren, and Abraham Hill. Perhaps almost as
suspicious is the fact that these founding members were from opposing sides in
a recent civil war. There was certainly something more going on than we might
realize today.
The Royal Society was created at a time when religious heresy
was still a crime, and it may be that it was intended to be the answer to the
growing public unrest over the prevailing beliefs being promoted by religious
fanatics coming from so many corners. Society was in turmoil with all of the
competing variations of biblical interpretation. The form of control that the
‘old religion’ had in place up until then was no longer working, and a new
belief system was required before control was lost altogether. That the
formation of the Royal Society went completely unchallenged by the Church,
even when it was experimenting early on with magic and witchcraft, suggests that this
organization had been secretly sanctioned within the highest levels of power.
Although many high-ranking
Freemasons have been famous and important personages in
the highest levels of business and politics throughout its history, and have
had a definite hand in the power of Masonic influence in world affairs, it is those among its
highest ranks who have been the greatest thinkers in science who have been most
involved in formulating what the public’s most fundamental beliefs would be
regarding scientific matters.
We might consider science to be
the ‘new religion’, and within Masonic ideologies, where a belief in a Supreme Being is mandatory for its members but where
religious doctrine is not acknowledged or recognized and
forbidden as a topic of discussion, science may be seen as a system of belief
that’s used for the same purposes that religion had been used for millennia
preceding it – to dominate and control the thoughts and affairs of ordinary
people through their beliefs.
It can’t be ignored that at least
some of what we believe regarding scientific fact has been purposely distorted
in order that a truer scientific understanding – and therefore greater
directive power – remains solely in the hands of the highest ranking members of
these secretive groups. In order to understand
what distortions might have been purveyed as fact, we might first consider who
among the greatest contributors to science were high ranking members of
Freemasonry. From this, we can look
at their contributions and see if there might be any discernible reason for
these to be purposeful distortions of greater truths. Even outside of the
ranks of Freemasonry, we might look at who else among the scientific greats
might have been given support and direction through Masonic channels. We should
at the same time also consider what fields of science have the greatest ability
to control or mold the beliefs of ordinary people, and consider how those
fields might be leading us astray.
Although I don’t have the space to investigate these matters here, it can
already be seen from the evidence I have presented that archeology and
evolutionary theory are tainted scientific fields, and both happen to have been
of great interest to Freemasons, particularly in relation to our earliest history.
