My original quote: In Scottish Rite Freemasonry, the four final degrees, from the thirtieth to the thirty-third, are the stage of initiation at which the candidate is thought to achieve the sublime objective of the Masonic enlightenment (or, some would say, experiment), which - allegorically - is the 'rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem'. Heaven on Earth Now my latest quote for the new movie about to hit the big screen: Balian of Ibelin (died 1193) was an important noble of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century. He was the son of Barisan of Ibelin and brother of Hugh and Baldwin. His original name was also Barisan, but the pronunciation of the name changed to "Balian" in the course of the 12th century; he is sometimes known as Balian the Younger when his father is also referred to as Balian. He is also called Balian of Ramla or Balian of Nablus Some interesting facts: As is recorded for posterity, Baldwin I, King of Jerusalem, agreed to their requests and granted them the Al Aqsa Mosque as their residence. One might wonder, in the light of the above, why a King of Jerusalem would agree to the requests of nine rather obscure Knights (although it is very often reported that it was Hugh de Payns who approached Baldwin) and give them such illustrious headquarters. The Templar origins as a whole are completely shrouded in mystery. Not much is known about the founding Knights, and what we do know is rather vague. Hugh de Payen is known as a 'minor' noble from Champagne. This is all that is reasonably known about him, and that is more than we know about the other founders! It is said that the Knights Templar, as they became known, were to also protect the Holy Sepulchre of Christ in Jerusalem, as well as visiting and travelling pilgrims.
Guillaume de Tyre tells us that the Templars were formed by nine French knights in 1118. But the fairly damning evidence that Lincoln et al offer regarding the date of the Templars' creation, and the policy of those early Templars in admitting new members convinces me that Guillaume was wrong in his date of 1118. The actual date of Templar creation is more likely to have been around 1111. In fact, an earlier date for the creation of the Templars has been given. For example, in 1135 - 1140, Simon, a monk of St. Bertin of Sith dated this event to c. 1099, just after the Crusades. Another is a bishop of Havellburg called Anselm, who wrote in 1145, and suggested the same date. As well as the more well known accounts of the Templar origins given by the likes of Guillaume de Tyre, there is also another obscure account which gives details of the Templar origins, which is somewhat overlooked by historians. This is the account given by an individual known to posterity as Bernard the Treasurer. Bernard was a monk of Corbie, and his account appears to have been copied from an earlier account. This early account has been tentatively identified as that of Ernoul. Ernoul was a servant of Balian d'Ibelin in 1187 The new movie: Heaven on Earth
http://www.kingdomofheavenmovie.com The Templars, the nine knights who dug below the Temple of Solomon and discovered the secret vault where the treasure was held, the first banking system, the world bank, the French Knights, the Knights who sailed to America....another movie to let the people know the truth, another step to the capstone on top of the symbolic pyramid. Yes traveling man it is the truth, growing up in Freemasonry back to Scotland 1747...yes it is the truth, the 33rd and higher were my family and the ritual books prove the secret truth. So are you travelin' east to west or have you already attained enlightenment?
Footnote....the phallas is the Washington Mounment, a phallas is symbolic of the male, the obelisk is a phallas raised by pharoahs such as Queen Hapshephut, Thutmoses II, III, IV to point to the heavens the elixir of life, the obelisk or phallas brought to America in Central ParK, London; that one is Thutmoses III, Paris, and dont forget the on in Rome in front of the Vatican, all "rasied" by Freemasons.
Bee, thought you'd find this all very interesting........
Freemason are you a travelin' man..........
Always in the name of Jesus...Always praying,
Asenath
