Chapter 11 - Sons of Light
If early man first worshipped the sun and then the star as a symbol of that sun, it would be the next logical step to worship the light that comes from that sun. And this is the progression that is taught by history.
Albert Mackey wrote: "... light always constituted a principal object of adoration, as the primordial source of knowledge ,.."225
John White, called "another New Age theologian" by Texe Marrs in his book entitled, DARK SECRETS OF THE NEW AGE, wrote that man is not only to seek light but to become light: "First you go toward the light.
Next you're in the light.
Then you are the light." 226
Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Illuminati, (which means The Illuminated Ones) wrote this in 1778: "Let there be light, and there shall be light." 227
And on August 17, 1984, the Lucis Trust sent this letter to an inquiring citizen who wanted an explanation of the origin of the name Lucis Trust. This is the explanation he received: "Lucis is the genitive case of the Latin word Lux.
We would translate it 'of light.'
The Trust has always been Lucis right from its incorporation in 1923. The publishing company, however was called at first the Lucifer Publishing Company as authored by H. P. [Helena Petrovna] Blavatsky earlier.
Lucifer as here used means 'bringer of light or the morning star' and has no connection whatsoever with Satan as conventional wisdom would have it." 228
But there is someone else who is making the claim to being the "morning star." That claim is made in the book of Revelation, chapter 22, verse 16 of the New Testament of the Bible: "I Jesus... am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
So the Lucis Trust claims that Lucifer is "the morning star," and Jesus Christ makes the same claim. Only one can correctly be what they both claim to be.
But the Lucis Trust attempted to make an important distinction between Lucifer and Satan, one that should be made again at this juncture.
Lucifer was the name of the being that was in heaven with the God of the Bible, until he rebelled. He was punished and sent to earth, where it appears that his name was changed to Satan. These New Agers, some of the Masons, and members of the Illuminati worship the being that was in heaven before he fell, not the being known as Satan.
Albert Pike added this explanation of their belief in the being that emanates light to mankind. He wrote this in MORALS AND DOGMA: "And the Mason is familiar with these doctrines... that the Supreme Being is a centre of Light whose rays or emanations pervade the Universe; for that is the Light for which all Masonic journeys are a search, and of which the sun and moon in our Lodges are only emblems." 229
Notice that Mr. Pike says that this light-bringer is a god; in fact he capitalizes the "s" and the "b" in "Supreme Being."
He further deifies "Light" by capitalizing the letter "l."
And then he added these thoughts about the nature of this "Light:"
"Behold, it said, the light, which emanates from an. immense centre of Light, that spreads everywhere its benevolent rays; so do the spirits of Light emanate from the Divine Light." 230
"Masonry is a march and struggle toward the Light." 231
To show the reader that these are not just the thoughts of one Mason, but are the thoughts of all of Freemasonry, it becomes important to quote other Masonic writers.
Kenneth Mackenzie in his book entitled, THE ROYAL MASONIC CYCLOPAEDIA, written in 1877, said this after the entry: SONS OF LIGHT: "Masons by their tenure are necessarily Sons of Light, and are so accepted even by their opponents, who are Sons of Darkness." 232
This is an important revelation. Those who are opposed to the Masons and what they stand for are told that they are "Sons of Darkness." If "Light" is a deity, and it must be because Mr. Mackenzie capitalizes the word, then "Darkness" is also a god. At least this Mason recognizes that there are two gods in the universe: one of Darkness and one of Light. The evidence that other Masons are aware of this distinction will be offered later in this study.
Another source of revelations on the subject of the Masonic religion is a book entitled, FREEMASONS REPOSITORY, which is a collection of articles written by Masons.
The particular one used in the following reference was published in 1882-1883. Here the writer was moved to comment:
'"Let there be light' is a phrase of small import as some have heard it when kneeling at Masonic Altars.
Its breadth of meaning has not been understood.
These are the true Craftsmen who are followers of the light in every deed; they are pledged to oppose whatever is of darkness, ignorance and sin; they have entered upon that illumined way which leadeth to God and to heaven, and they may rightly be called 'Sons of Light.'"
"Thus has light been regarded in all the philosophies and religions of the world. In this respect Masonry but maintains the symbolism which has found general acceptance." 233
"Light is the sign of a presence and power deserving of devout recognition. God may be said to reveal himself in the light. He dwelleth in light inaccessible -- yet he reveals himself to give knowledge to the minds of men, while by the illumination of his presence and his truth he imparts to the human world a condition of true spiritual life..."
"The creation of the earth... was, at the first, 'without form and void.' It was a shapeless and desolate mass of matter. In that condition of primeval chaos, there was an entire absence of light.
Then it was the Spirit of God manifested itself as the great quickening principle of a new order, communicating light and life to the hitherto desolate and disordered creation." 234
To show the reader that most people do not understand the esoteric meaning behind the symbol of "light," Mr. Mackey wrote these comments in his ENCYCLOPAEDIA: "Freemasons are emphatically called the 'sons of light,' because they are, or at least are entitled to be, in possession of the true meaning of the symbol."
"Light is an important word in the Masonic system.
It conveys a far more recondite [defined as being beyond the grasp of the ordinary mind] meaning that it is believed to possess by the generality of readers.
... it contains within itself a far more abstruse [defined as being hard to understand] allusion to the very essence of Speculative Masonry." 235
Perhaps the very reason that the Masons conceal a great truth in the word "light," or "Light," can be best summarized in this single statement of Albert Pike in his book entitled, MORALS AND DOGMA: "... Light will finally overcome Darkness." 236
So, if the student of "esoteric knowledge" wishes to understand the language, it becomes important to determine, if possible, who the "light-bearer" is. And the student can know for certain who that is, because one of the greatest "seekers of light" has told the world. That writer is Albert Pike, a Mason, and he has described who this individual is in his book entitled, MORALS AND DOGMA. Mr. Pike identified the "light-bearer" on page 321 of that book: "Lucifer, the Light-bearer!
Lucifer, the Son of the Morning!
Is it he who bears the Light...?
Doubt it not!" 237
Albert Pike has admitted that the Masons seek Light! He has now admitted that the "Light-bearer" is Lucifer! The Masons ask for "Light" from the "Light-bearer" Lucifer!
But Mr. Pike is not the only Mason who has admitted that in easily understandable language. Another Masonic writer is Manly P. Hall, and he has said basically the same thing in his book entitled, THE LOST KEYS OF FREEMASONRY.
The skeptic can know that this book has been included in a "list of the best Masonic books available" in a Masonic magazine called THE ROYAL ARCH MASON. The list says that "it [the list] is the finest basic library available to Freemasons." So the student can know that this book is approved reading for the Masonic Order. This is that comment, as found on page 48 of his book: "The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands [the Master Mason's hands] and before he may step upward [through the remaining degrees?] he must prove his ability to properly apply energy." 238 So the energies of Lucifer are in the hands of the Master Mason! The god of some of the Masons is Lucifer! There can be no doubt, because some of the best known Masonic writers have told the reader in their own words!
Mr. Hall added this comment on page 55 of the same book: "The Master Mason is in truth a sun, a great reflector of light...
He stands before the glowing fire light [the sun?]
and the world.
Through him passes Hydra, the great snake [Lucifer?], and from its [the snake, as a symbol of Lucifer] mouth there pours the light of God.
His [Hydra's, the great snake's?] symbol is the rising sun...
Albert Pike confirmed that Hydra was a "serpent" on page 508 of his book entitled, MORALS AND DOGMA.
So that quote from Mr. Hall's book confirms that the Mason is the intermediary between the sun-god and man.
And through him passes the truth of the sun-god.
Simply stated, once again, Lucifer is the god of some of the Masons!
The Bible has made it clear that Lucifer entered the body of a snake when he approached Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
So, the Masons believe that "Light," the emanations from their god Lucifer, will finally overcome the truth given to man by God inside the Bible.
Albert Pike put another piece of the puzzle into place when he wrote this on page 287 of MORALS AND DOGMA: "You see, my brother, what is the meaning of Masonic "Light."
You see why the East of the Lodge, where the initial letter of the Name of the Deity overhangs the Master, is the place of Light.
... it is that Light, the true knowledge of Deity [the truth that Lucifer is god!] the eternal Good, for which Masons in all ages have sought.
Still Masonry marches steadily onward toward that Light that shines in the great distance [the coming New World Order, still perceived as being many years in the future] the Light of that day when Evil [this "Evil" will be identified later in this study,]
overcome and vanquished, shall fade away and disappear forever, and Life and Light be the one law of the universe, and its eternal harmony." 240
So, Mr. Pike tells the careful reader that the "Light" that all Masons seek is the true knowledge of the real god. And then he tells the world that Lucifer is the real god of the universe.
The final secret of the Masons is no longer a secret!
The student of the Masons can know that the great secret that the Adept Masons are keeping from the Initiate Masons is that the concealed God of the Masonic Lodge is Lucifer, the "light-bearer!"
But a study of "Light" would not be complete without identifying the individual that the Bible says is the source of the true light. The name of this individual has been recorded in the New Testament, and it was written down by the disciple John, in about 80 A.D. He was an eye witness to many of the events in the New Testament, and he was moved to write the following, in John 8:12: "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
So here we see the exact nature of the battle between the followers of the deceiving "light-bearer," Lucifer, meaning the Masons, the Illuminati and the New Age, and the true light, Jesus. And as has been illustrated, these organizations believe that their god, their light, will finally overcome the true light, Jesus Christ.
The battle lines are indeed drawn, and have been for many centuries.
All are working to insure a victory for their side in the war.
