hiptosser - Red we talked about how the OTO is not the boogey man many seem to think it is.
There are long standing rumors about a cabal of OTO accolytes within the NSA and US military special warfare circles. I think largely due to Michael Aquino being public about his OTO past and his public role as leader of the Temple of Set.
Has any come across any credible information about this subject.

Interesting.

 

I don't know anything about the OTO in the USA, but as someone else stated earlier, it's rare to hear people include the OTO in any of these conspiracy theories about world domination.

 

What I can tell you is that I know some dudes from the Aussie chapter of the OTO, and they are completely oblivious to the shit many people think they get up to. They also have no clue whatsoever about the activities of the Freemasons, and there is no connection between the two groups at all.  I tell them stuff that is common knowledge to us and it really blows their mind sometimes, lol.


I have heard that Crowely copied the Scotish Rite's 33degree rituals (as he was promoted to 33rd in the Scotish Rite in Mexico) and made it the rites of the OTO's 1rst the same as the Scotish Rites highest. That Crowely had some desire to recruit the MAsonic into the order.

I have heard this from Tsarion and Maxwell in different interviews. Maxwell is opnely a Mason, I think Tsarion is and he is generally very positive about Crowely and thinks he is grossly misunderstood (even by OTO members).

Again I have know idea is this or true or not, but those 2 seem to have credibility when talking Masonry.

One crazy ct about the OTO that I am aware of.

This probably comes from the bible thumping variety of CT people and I highly doubt it is true but sort of interesting. A connection between the Boy Scouts and the OTO ..The OTO (and SATAN!) influencing the BSA for their evil purposes.

The connection comes from the cross orginizational membership of two curious fellows.

Lt.Col Michael Aquino USA,ret.-Special forces,First Earth Battalion,NSA
Has been open about OTO membership, one time high level member of the Church of Satan, founder Temple of Set.

And Former national commander of the Eagle Scouts!

Anton LaVey-I do not anything about him except he started the Church of Satan,claimed OTO-Crowely lineage and he was the national comander of the Eagle scouts as well!

pretty wild eh? lol

also masons call the masses profane.. so yes they do seem to believe they are part of some higher class.

Most esoteric societies use this term, it refers to the uninitiated.

yeah I know about that.. but I also feel it implies they are better.. and of course they have to feel better because they have shouldered the responsibility of "building society"

they consider themselves the "elect" or the chosen.

btw I voted you up.

It seems you are kind of into the esoteric to see what they are about and get more info.. but it also seems like you admire them.

Could you please expand on this? thanks professor.

this is not meant to be confrontational btw.

Admire is not the word I'd use, but I do have respect for the organization.

Reason being that I've always been intrigued by the mystery schools of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, etc and I believe that the stuff being taught to the initiates of these schools was not readily available to the general public. Some Masons I've met try to claim a lineage to those mystery schools but even if that's just wishful thinking on their part, I do believe that they've made a concerted effort over the past few hundred years to compile and preserve as much of that information as possible. The same can be said for other esoteric groups but the Mason's are the most high profile one, with the biggest global footprint, so they get my attention more than the others.

As hiptosser said, many Masons are just like grown up frat boys, who are into community fund raising, and business networking etc, and those guys look at me stupid when I mention the esoteric side of Freemasonry to them. Others though, and there are some on this forum, are very much into the esoteric side, and they are the ones who give me a wink and a nod when I mention my views to them. Even if they have no lineage to Egyptian mystery schools, or the Templars, or any other group from history, I still respect the fact that they are at least attempting to keep those ideas and teachings alive and offer a source of learning to people who seek knowledge in the mysteries.

Earlier this year I was almost about to join them, but it wasn't to be due to other events in my life. I do intend to revisit this idea next year though, and will most likely do it then.

Crowley's 33rd degree wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Some dufous Mason gave it to him when they were partying together, it wasn't even done in a Masonic lodge, they were probably high on smack together at the time. The Scottish Rite never acknowledged Crowley as a Mason and flat out rejected his application to have the OTO made an official chapter of Freemasonry because they said it was a rip-off of Scottish Rite Masonry and could add nothing to the craft.

I've never heard Maxwell admit that he's a Mason but his interpretation of the New Testament, and his teachings on Astro-Theology certainly seem in line with esoteric views.

I doubt that Tsarion is one, he's been highly critical of them in the past, I've even heard him speak about them with contempt. He does however admit to being a member of some group, but he wont say what. His name is odd too, its obviously fake but looks a bit like Star of Orion, to me.

P.S Sorry for th dumb quoting, my forum HTML function has now stopped working for some reason.

Maxwell claims to have been mentored by MPH so if that is true it would seem logical that he would have become a Mason. I could swear there was some sort CT nerd shit storm about him admitting his membership in the Masons? Tsarion has been highly critical of Masonry , but he is also complimentary. Most the harsh criticism I have heard from him are related to P2 and what he calls black lodges to contrast them with 'good' masons. He has been particularly critical of Masonry being a good old boys in the U.K. and the corruption/cover up culture with the British police and Judicial system. The U.K. media made a big issue about Masons in public positions doing some shady shit and covering up/closing ranks .As a student of Maxwell's (if Maxwell is a Mason then it seem natural for Tsarion to be one to). But I don't know they could both allude to purely for commercial reasons.

I have always wondered if Crowely's Masonic creds were actually crap or if the United Grand Lodge didn't want to be associated him in general. I'll take your word on this one.

As far as the Mason's connections to ancient mystery schools..is there nothing to the Templar connection? I have read the "Temple and the Lodge", and some other books written by Masonic writers and it doesn't seem that far out to me.
The Sinclair connection in Scotland is very interesting , so is the possible to connection Portuguese explorers.

"Maxwell claims to have been mentored by MPH so if that is true it would seem logical that he would have become a Mason. "

MPH was not a Mason, he was a devout Theosophist. He was awarded an honorary 32nd Degree late in life, but was never initiated. Maxwell could well be a Theosophist but i've never heard him say it. A connection with MPH would explain his views on Astro-Theology as they virtually parrot what Hall was teaching decades before Maxwell appeared on the scene.

Wow, new updates on MPH's wikipedia page.

They now claim that he was initiated as mason at the age of 53.

I stand corrected, but that is a new revelation, his official bio always stated that he was not a Masonic initiate.

Either way, his true background for most of his life, was in theosophy. It wouldn't be surprised if Tsarion was a theosophist also, it kind of fits.

"As far as the Mason's connections to ancient mystery schools..is there nothing to the Templar connection?"


Well, the Templars fled France and it's known that many went to Scotland. A few generations later Freemasonry appeared. I think it's highly feasible.



"I have read the "Temple and the Lodge", and some other books written by Masonic writers and it doesn't seem that far out to me.

Yeah, and Roslyn (The Rose Line) Chapel is extremely interesting to me as it's architecture and artwork suggests a connection between the Templars and Freemasons.

Has any one you read "Borne in Blood"?
A Masonic scholar wrote it and his contention is that the Masons were active much much earlier in England than 1717 and that they were behind The Peasants Revolt.

There's a good book on the Ripper/Freemason thing and if you can believe the evidence provided in it, it seems that the Police, who were nearly all Freemasons in the UK at the time, recognised Masonic symbolism at the crime scenes, so they covered it up.

The author presents a pretty good case for his argument.

Yes, I have that book, it is an interesting contention, and once again, it seems very feasible when you look at the evidence.

If I recall correctly, the author also says that the Peasants Revolt was the work of Templars, which were one and the same as early Freemasons.

No, Crowley didn't steal the 33rd degree. No, Crowley was not a 33rd.

 

I hate to go against Redneck, but Manly P. Hall, as I understand it, was actually initiated, passed, raised and then went through the degree work to be a 32nd. He couldn't have just been awarded the 32nd degree nor would the average non-Mason just randomly get awarded the 33rd, no matter how much they contribute to humanity. It's possible that he was initiated, passed and raised before assuming a steadfast position as a dues paying member for 30 years before someone told him to put in a position for Scottish Rite.

For general information, the degrees are not a ranking system. A 32nd degree Mason is not any more a Mason, nor does he really know more, than the average Master Mason. For God's sake, you don't even have to take all of the degrees to get to 32nd. When I went through Scottish Rite the first time, I only got the 4th, 5th, 14th, 18th, 31st and 32nd and it was this way with all 200 people in my class. Now that I actually participate in the degree work, I can say that over the course of a weekend it's usually those degrees that they get.

There are differences in the rituals between states, let alone countries. That said, the penalties of the obligations are a means of recognition and, therefore, mostly uniform. There's none of the killings that have anything to do with any of the penalties in any of the obligations I've read or participated in. Furthermore, though it's happened sparingly throughout history, women can't be Freemasons for the simple fact that they're women. On top of that, it's a violation of the obligation to be present at the initiating, passing or raising of a woman.
