Hello there!
One thing I've learned over the years is the folly of generalizing and believing there are few absolute truths. Please understand those Masons to which you refer that truly represent the honor, spirit and methodologies of Christ are not, by definition, those of whom I speak.
There are many Masons, both Blue and Free that fit this description, in fact numerically speaking I've little doubt they greatly out number those that concoct our enemies to trigger wars as a method of bleeding nations. (They're just not in positions of national power.)
Albert Pike made no positive mention of Satan which implies the connection that does appear to exist must be above the 33rd degree level, or perhaps laterally at certain lodges that cater to pedophiles; perhaps at the “Bankster” level. Whoever it is, does seem to have great wealth based on their being shuttled around in personal jets. (Was Hitler a brainwash victim? The early art attributed to him, and his later actions, did suggest a warped mind of some sort. Is this not a symptom of the trauma type of brainwashing? However, his attempt to ransom the Jewish families for $1,000 per family to the Zionists suggests he was not hell bent on their being completely exterminated, just eliminated from Germany; perhaps a result of the worldwide boycotts against German products. It was shocking to learn the
the Zionists of those days refused; at appeared to suggest the greater plan was indeed to leverage the horror of their deaths for another cause.
One theory I have is that the results of sexually traumatizing children, [
"disassociation" and complete obedience to the
point of being programmable 'suicide bombers of sorts], could have been brought by those that practiced
'Phallic worship'." Did the book(s) to which you referred mention Lucifer? (Someone along the line made a connection of Satan to Lucifer, I'm not sure exists, except perhaps in certain behaviors. These two groups likely cater to two different crowds, but I do believe, at a higher level, they are both under the same umbrella of control. It's also my sense that with Satanism there are different sects for different purposes; some wearing Crosses and others Stars of David, but neither true Christians or Jews.
Some of the biggest
'anti-Zionists' I've known were Jewish. See
'True Torah Jews' for one such group.)
Even the word Lucifer seems to of Latin origin which indicates a Roman origin if not creation. (I've little knowledge in this area, but much knowledge in the very non Christian methods of the Roman Catholic church; not the masses of the church, but the very high leaders using the people to do their dirty work. (ie. Against the Protestants, Cathars etc.)
I
have read how Pike seemed to equate Atheism with Luciferism. This seemed like the perfect vehicle for slowly 'educating' a person in the errors in the Bibles with the ultimate goal of turning them away from the Words and ethics of Christ; to at least not fear retribution for their acts on this planet.
A lot like the metaphor of how to boil a frog, slowly, one 'degree' at a Time.
Although I too know several very honorable Masons, but no where near the 33rd degree, they too speak of knowing higher level Masons and others that do much good in the community. Personally the most evil person I've met volunteers at the local hospital and as a result is well thought of by those that do not know how he otherwise operates. It confused the heck out of me for decades until he was caught in his unethical behavior. His 'brothers' then held up his volunteer work as a sort of badge of honor to those that were well aware of his misdeed. The 'masses', who just knew of him in the hospital context, were told 'The entire story was not true and 'politics' as usual; as their only frame of reference was his volunteer work they chose to believe that which was complete baloney. The professionals that knew what he did was true had a tendency of following the suggestion of his 'Brother' Mason in going easy due directly to his work for the hospital.
This entire event helped me to understand why bad people do what appear to be selfless acts, when in fact they were not selfless at all. In fact a sort of social Teflon that is required of those that wish to lead a life of unethical behavior because as any police officer or crook can tell you it's only a matter of time before you get caught.

The Christ Metaphor is "what's happening"

For coming forward and giving us a bit of truth about Masons.
My Grandfather was a 33 degree Mason. I can guarantee you he was not a Satanist. My Grandmother was an Eastern Star....she was not one either.
He was a very spiritual man, and a very generous one too. So was my grandmother. All of her side of the family were Eastern Stars.
I know several 33 degree Masons personally, and all are good people. Most of them will go out of their way to help you....
I have my Uncle"s Masonic book, and I can personally state that there is ABSOLUTELY nothing in there about Satan, and it is a book of prayers and "rituals". Nothing in it would give me a second thought...nothing.
Over the years I have read everything I can on them, to learn the truth from the "outside" since I am not a member. I have read alot on Anton LeVay, etc..and other books too, and they are not really Masons...
I do my research too...as I am a librarian.
Thanks, David for the book tip, I will add it to my library.
Thanks to all who posted in this thread.
Peace to all.
