Ego = Outer perception, not intuition

“Ego = Outer perception, not intuition. Endeavors to keep you anxious, worrying, fearful — weakens mental/intuitive resolve. Always wants to be in charge, twists logic and second guesses to induce uncertainty and fear. Goal is to weaken the individual and courage of convictions and induce a mental state of fear and insecurity.

Weakens the will and make susceptible to instant gratification. Institutions are created in the likeness of the ego, are to a degree an extension of the ego. Signs that your ego is driving the bus: feeling insecure, controlling, judgmental, tired, self-conscious, conventional.” – By Michael Jaco, 24 Year Navy SEAL

Saint Patrick’s Serpent

In the middle 5th century, it was a dangerous time to be alive in places such as Britain, Ireland, Saint PatrickScotland and Gaul (France). Tribal warfare had run rampant in these parts of the world for hundreds of years. Crimes such as robbery, rape, kidnapping and slavery were everyday life for the people who lived here. It was a time where few men knew God, and the sword of evil dripped with the blood of the innocents all over the land.

It was in this dark time when a light was born in Ireland. A boy who was once captured by Irish pirates when he was 16 from his home in Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. He would later grow up to become a Christian missionary and bishop of Ireland. His name was Saint Patrick and he is known as the “Apostle of Ireland,” and one of the patron Saints of the Irish.

Truth is stranger than fiction

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” – Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain)

 

Lucifero By Dante

This image of Lucifer is from Dante Alighieri’s Divina Commedia, late 15th century.

Lucifer represents the angel of light with individual intellect who ‘rebels’ against the outside ‘dark authority’. This is why he is called the ‘fallen angel.’ The dark and outside authority can be attributed to our flesh and fleshly desires coupled with the outside material world that attempts to take us away from the true light within each one of us.

Manley Palmer Hall 33° had written in The Lost Keys Of Freemasonry: “When The Mason learns that the Key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the Mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply this energy.” (page 48)

Mark of the Sinner

In deciphering this image (Diego de Valadés Rhetorica Christiana 1579) below, you will clearly see the man to the right who is chained and led by Demons with their leader Yaldoboath to riches and the earthly throne of fire. Yaldoboath is the ruler of this world who is the Chief Archon who is the son of the creator God of Genesis and the demiurge of Platonism. The meaning of the name demiurge is maker which makes him the “creator of the material world.”
