The Watch Tower
of The West
A Path Of Natural Development To Inner Expansion Through The Understanding Of The Universe.
HISTORY OF THE WESTERN LINE.
When we talk about the European line, we will focus our attention to the area around the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and the areas north and west of this location. This is mainly to do with the fact that even though countries like Israel and Jordan are not part of Europe, they are extremely crucial to the progression and the migration of the knowledge we seek. As you will notice from this section we will travel chronological anti clockwise around the Mediterranean coast, as the centuries pass to modern day. This is also important as the development of civilization in this area has the same pattern which adds evidence to support the nature of our research, The true line of knowledge is passed through time to one major civilization to the next to maintain its line of purity. It is also important to note that this line is the most well documented of the three. This is partially due to the area being divided into various countries, as the other three lines tend to stay within each confined area. The Europe line is so widespread and full of conflict there are more obvious points of transfer between individuals and belief systems. Each time a new belief system or culture is formed there is always tension between the new and the old which creates conflict, and the biggest events the humans race seem to like to document most about are conflicts. Who started it who won it etc.? This leaves us with a clear-cut path of transition if you know where to look.
Let us begin where we left off, the original knowledge that was brought to Ancient Egypt from Mesopotamia around 3000B.C. Evidence can be seen by the various hieroglyphs drawn since the dawn of their creation. Although the Egyptians developed their own belief system or religion around the original knowledge, of which this pattern will continue to be repeated throughout history. The links to the original knowledge being used as their main way of life for medicine, architecture and spirituality is ever present. More evidence will be given to support this in the following chapters. The symbol of the Ankh and the scales with nine stages of enlightenment, the sphere of enlightenment around their worshiped beings’ heads, and the continuous use of serpents and birds to represent the path of knowledge are ever present and will continue to be used up until this present day. At this time the knowledge passed on to this civilization all be it a complete set of ideas and teaching was still in its very raw form, all the principles were there as the true knowledge will never change but our perception of it will change from person to person, and culture to culture. This leads us as a species with a big dilemma. As we progress though time, we each strive to understand these principles of the universe in our own way and so find many ways to try to structure them and simplify them. The Shamans believed that the knowledge was contained in the world, and if you can see its benefits and use them to help those around then that was enough. But as the generations progressed so did our need to understand them in greater detail. It was no longer enough to simply know they worked we had to create evidence to prove them and understand them, this sometimes led to myths and legends being formed in the form of various gods and artifacts that were used to fill in the blanks for the unexplained aspects at that current time, this would later become superseded by the application of pure science and physical facts instead of magic.
As this strand of knowledge was being developed in Egypt Mesopotamian eventually started to crumble. With the decline in the cradle of civilization due to famine and migration, people fled the city to live in Egypt. Among there population was a man called Abraham. Abraham was the so-called inventor of the first alphabet in this area, the Hebrew alphabet. This alphabet contains letters and numbers that directly relate to the knowledge of the universe as you will see later. Due to this we can safely say that Abraham was the chosen carrier of the original knowledge and was charged with the responsibility of passing it on and ensuring its survival. This version of the original knowledge was seen in Mesopotamian as the true progression from which the original had come from. So, with all new progressions of the original work came a new religion that formed around this version, this was the start of Judaism. Abraham searching for a way to keep this knowledge alive from the dangers of the dying city took his people to the first colony of Egypt around 1852B.C this in turn led to many problems within the thriving civilization. Although Jewish belief came from the same beliefs as the Egyptians but with a new and more advanced way of communicating the same ideas, it was inevitably shunned and seen as an affront to their belief system in the area. After all, if one group of people have based their entire way of life on one belief system, when another system appears in the same place, claiming to be the new improved version it will be hard for change to occur. From then on, these people become known as Hebrews which translates as “people from across the sea” and were seen as second-class citizens being looked down upon to stop their ways overshadowing the old beliefs. Egypt now becoming the sole civilization in the area now contained two versions of the same knowledge both being developed in their own way, inevitably using ideas from their own discoveries to help advance the line and become one new system in time. Even if their intentions were to keep them separate the true keepers of the knowledge would have been blind to the segregation and seen the science from both sides and come to a mutual discovery of both lines to advance the method of communication that is always present in the background of every civilization. It is important to stress the fact that even though the general population would be learning the information of their current belief system, the “keepers” of the knowledge will be unaffected by either belief system as they search for the truth within, this will always lead to scientific advancement which is unbiased and will use any information whether it be from the Egyptian side or the Hebrew side, as long as it is true to the universe. These new concepts will then not get passed on to the general population until the next major change in society.
In 1500B.C in Iran the prophet Zoroaster created a new system of beliefs that used the ideas of ancient Egypt and the new ideas of the Jews most likely from his travels to the adjacent country's before returning home to spread his teachings. This system was called Zoroastrianism and still exists today. In the area between Egypt and India this culture thrived as a strain of the up-to-date knowledge which would then move to India and join with the second line in 1500 B.C which will be discussed later. These people were called the Aryan people and would incorporate their up-to-date knowledge with the original line of the Indus people. This system would continue to the ruling belief system in the areas around Turkey and into Iraq. So, we can already see in these early years the line was split to accommodate the belief systems of its areas. It also provides us with our first join in the two colonies lines where Egypt knowledge would become mixed with the Indian line in 1500B.C. It is also important to note that at the same time Zoroaster established his belief system, the Persian Empire began to flourish using this new knowledge in their land. This would later cause the Persian Empire to Expand and conquer the other lines of knowledge across the European line.
This feud between the two cultures of the Egyptian people and the Hebrews carried on until 1400B.C with the introduction of Moses who married into Abraham's direct family line. There is a lot of stories surrounding this event but if we take the religious views out of the equation and look at the facts from this time. Moses was brought up in the Egyptian culture learning its beliefs by the highest-level philosophers of the age. This would have given Moses the education he needed to become open minded and aware of the great universal information. Now imagine this free-thinking individual with all the knowledge of the universe in its old format, travelling the country and of course meeting the Jewish. At some point Moses learns that the Hebrew alphabet passed on from Abraham contains the same knowledge as his own Egyptian teachings. He then becomes the only person at the time that has a complete picture of both versions. Undoubtedly becoming keen to find out all the information he can, which would lead him to the “keepers” where he would learn to the best of his ability. Moses then disappears for a while in history, one could say as with all other spiritual characters we know from history that have also disappeared for a length of time before becoming enlightened, that Moses himself becomes enlightened through his own time alone, allowing him to contemplate both versions of up-to-date thoughts, and combines them into one definitive line of knowledge. Moses then returns to the civilization and through his knowledge sees that the divide is wrong between the two cultures, seeing that they all really believe in the same thing. Moses then vows to set the people free and take them back home so they can once again become independent. It is also worth mentioning at this point that in 2334B.C Babylonia was founded on the site of the original cradle and had started to thrive as the next major civilization.
With a lot of politics and conflict Moses does indeed lead his people from Egypt and begins to lead them to Babylonia. Babylonia however only occupied a very small section of the old Mesopotamian vast territory; Abraham's homeland was the very edge of that old territory and now was left vacant except for the Israelite that were descended from the Hebrews that were cast us from Egypt in a previous conflict. Moses foreseeing the same problems in the future of his people if they try and settle in the new civilization of Babylon, as they did when Abraham led his people to new lands. He then decided to settle in the old part of the cradle where their people were originated from, which is known as Israel and joined the city of Jerusalem. This then became the city where the knowledge of the universe was kept and further developed on its true line. Moses in his final days, writing down ten laws of correct practice to become enlightened and to help ensure that conflict did not arise within his people. these were named the “Ten Commandments” and would be passed on to the next keepers of the knowledge. Israel stayed the center of development for quite some time as there was little or no conflict between adjacent civilizations that concerned the passing of the information.
In 970B.C Solomon become king of Israel. Solomon was known for his knowledge of the universe and till this day described as the wisest man that ever lived. Evidence in his temple, which was the first ever temple built in Jerusalem supports the notion that Solomon was the bearer of the true knowledge of the universe that had being passed down from Moses. Solomon was said to have studied alchemy and astrology which we will find out in later parts of this book are key descriptions and are a tell-tale factor of one who was developing the true line. We can also support this fact with the legend of the Ark of the Covenant. This great box was meant to contain the knowledge of the universe and was carried by Moses from Egypt and eventually ended up in Jerusalem with King David which was Solomon's farther. The Ark was also known in later Christian beliefs as the Holy Grail. Solomon himself would have then been given this by his farther and would have been able to study its contents, which would have contained all the knowledge passed on from Abraham and Moses and progressed by David and now Solomon himself. When the adjoining civilization of Babylonia and the lesser tribes around the city tried to seize control of Jerusalem to try to match the territory of its former cradle civilization, they destroyed the temple which contained this information. There is no mention of the Ark in any part of the history after that and so it is safe to say the Ark was not found. Solomon hid the ark to prevent its destruction. Assuming the Ark being safely hidden in Jerusalem the teaching of Solomon will have lived on, just as all the great “keepers” will have taught all his findings to an individual most likely one of his sons. King Solomon is also credited but not proven to have written the book of creation, this book is the very first form of the Kabbalah. The Kabbalah is the first diagrammatic form of the universal knowledge putting the Hebrew alphabet into picture form using Geomancy. This diagram and its understanding will have been passed on through the population and on to his successor along with other individuals that seek the answers of the universe. This book would play a vital role in the future of the line in years to come as it is the written progression of the original knowledge. If we look at the rule of the house of David in Israel, we can see that their family throughout many major conflicts and catastrophic events continued to rule until 597B.C (see below for more detail)
King Salomon.
Rehoboam (932B.C)
Abijah (913B.C)
Asa (911-870B.C)
Jehoshaphat (873-849B.C)
Jehoram (882-842B.C)
Ahaziah (841B.C)
Jehoash (836-797B.C) was hidden away by the high priests while his brothers were killed in an invasion. The priests would have access to the knowledge of the universe passed on through these years.
Amazian (796-767B.C) was said to have been advised by a nameless prophet.
Ozzian (791-740B.C)
Jotham (751-732B.C) advised by four prophets, Isaiah, Amos, Hosea, Micah.
Ahaz (736-716B.C)
Hezekiah (729-687B.C) was credited with great works of Hebrew documentation and a master constructor.
Manasseh (697-643B.C)
Amon (664-641B.C)
Josiah (648-609B.C) was said to have had four sons which the line was passed on to his son Jehoiakim.
Jehoiakim (609-598B.C)
Jeconiah (597B.C) was the last ruler of Israeli and exiled, cursed to not have any further written evidence to continue his name. However, this was not the case (can be researched in the Bible Chronicles and book of Ezekiel). He fathered at least seven named children who carried on his legacy becoming the population of the surround country's and is supposedly the ancestor of Joseph farther of Jesus. This does not mean that the line was passed on to Jesus in this fashion.
From the above we can see that there is evidence to support that this family line were the keepers of the great knowledge, as several of Solomon's descendants have been credited with texts aiding in the progression of the work, it is also evident that time to time prophets would intervene in the reign of the present king, this could also suggest that the knowledge was kept close by at all times and not passed onto the next king themselves but a trusted associate of the king which would be passed on until a deserving king came along in the family and passed back to him. This cycle could have been repeated over and over until the reign of the last king.
In 1100B.C the civilization of Ancient Greece was founded. By the time the last king was exiled from his country, Greece would have become the next civilization in the area to thrive and become a potential place to hide the knowledge until it can be passed on. The last king was exiled and released from prison in 562B.C. Around ten years later in 575B.C Pythagoras in Greece became well known for his knowledge in mathematics and theology about ancient man and their origins including information about the previously discussed subjects in this chapter. This is extremely sensitive knowledge that could have only been known by the holders of the “Ark” and its contents, or at least teaching from it at the time, and the true line that it came from. Free thinking was becoming acceptable in modern day society. It is extremely likely that Pythagoras was trying to secure the knowledge of the universe by openly teaching it and thus breaking the chain of the secret line to stop it from disappearing. This is extremely interesting as perhaps the last king knew that the knowledge must be taken to Greece and somehow passed it on to someone who could bring it to this region, who in turn passed it onto Pythagoras before the king was imprisoned. Speculation could suggest the many years in prison could have been spent teaching a younger inmate in the hopes he would escape before himself. Or it could have been one of his sons or a close associate of the family that took over instead of his son, as mentioned previously. But the line was passed from within or close, to the line of David and then to Pythagoras in Greece. Pythagoras would have certainly known about the knowledge as the idea of what came to be known as Pythagoras theory involving trigonometry had already been used in the great knowledge on the idea of the first three numbers and the pictograph diagram of the Kabbalah made by King Solomon (as seen later). This discovery almost certainly came from his study of the numbers and Geomancy. His focus was to explore this area further with the modern day thinking. The theory of three was already in the ancient culture at the time and played a large part in its mythology. This basic concept would have been passed on from the Shamans and the travelers from the cradle that still existed in this area until Greece has been established. This is seen by Zeus and his thunder bolt that represented the number one, Hades’ and his pitchfork that represented the number two and its direct opposite of number one, and Poseidon whose trident represented the number three and the midpoint between one and two. All three being created by Hephaestus's hammer that represents the idea of zero. Pythagoras used the up-to-date line from the family of David and used it to build upon this simple idea. Also, his unequaled knowledge of the history of humans could have come from nowhere else than this line of understanding. As to form the idea on one’s own at that time was impossible without our modern-day scientific equipment such as satellites and scanning for buried remains of fossils and ancient cultures. For the following two hundred years, Greece becomes the melting pot for free thinkers and philosophy, including great minds like Plato and Aristotle. This line of knowledge will have been passed within the country to great mind after great mind all the way up to the rule of Alexander the great.
In 356B.C Alexander spread the Greek empire across the continent including Egypt which had now become a shadow of its former self due to the decline of the civilization. Alexander's rain allowed Greeks to travel freely around these regions with out to much trouble or reason to be noticed and recorded as a strange event. In those times the first Greek school of mysticism was founded by Orpheus, Orpheus himself wrote many great texts on subjects that would have come from the line of knowledge and in his life traveled to Egypt for twenty years of his life. In 237B.C in Egypt the temple of Edfu was created with the help of Orpheus of which no mentioned in history. However there, ancient spirituality had dwindled after the decline of the civilization, so for this new temple to have suddenly been constructed would have been the result of the knowledge being brought back to its starting country. As the contents of the temple contained up to date spiritual knowledge that had not been practiced in this country for many years. The walls of Edfu themselves contained works of great knowledge of the universe and enlightenment. This great creation will have been the contributions of Orpheus as it coincided with his visit, the up-to-date modern understanding of the knowledge at that time, then being joined back with the original that may have lingered in Egypt to eliminate any discrepancies that may have occurred over its travels. This would have led to the purest form of up-to-date knowledge in the line. From this period the revival of Egyptian Spirituality become prominent in that side of the continent and around the Mediterranean. In fact, it became the biggest export for the country. The temple of Edfu become the gathering point for all the great spiritual minds of the age. Even Alexander himself created the city of Alexandria that was his personal project to build the Great Library that became the biggest accumulation of scientific works ever created. This specifically included works on Alchemy and Astrology. This alone shows that Alexander himself had access to the knowledge and did everything in his power to try and keep the line strong for the future generations. It was said that Alexandria was based on the City of The Sun which was built by Akhenaton before Moses left Egypt.
In 200B.C in Egypt the reigning King Tolonie ordered the book of creation written by King Solomon, to be translated for the first time from Hebrew and Egyptian into Greek as to allow the knowledge of the Kabbalah to become open and known to all. This shows that the King took a personal interest in the book and its writing, that he was aware of the great knowledge and may well have been the next in the line. Three years later in 197B.C the Rosetta stone was created showing a fully translated text between Greek and Egyptian. This would have certainly come from the earlier work from the book of creation. In the last few years of the B.C era. There are records of many communities all studying the knowledge especially in Egypt and Israel and centered around Qumran where the dead sea scrolls were discovered. It is said one of these communities were called the Essene community. Of which practiced medicine, alchemy, healing and enlightenment and worldly beliefs. Jesus was meant to have been part of this community during his missing years, learning from the line itself. This gives us indication that the line holders attempted to take the knowledge back to the outskirts of Jerusalem, either take it home to where the ark was still waiting to be re discovered. Or a forward planning attempt to find someone to pass the knowledge on to who would take it onto the next civilization.
As we come to the year of Jesus where he founded Christianity in 3-4B.C we look at the commonly conflicted period of his life where he disappears in history. Usual as this is a common theme in this history. If a person disappears from history, it is usual the case he simply doesn't cause any events where it is worth noting in the records. Which in turn could suggest that he either was not in the area at the time or simply stayed in one place in a remote location. In this instance both are said to be true. Again, looking at the facts and putting religion aside. We know that Jesus returned home with a wealth of knowledge of medicine to heal people and worldly knowledge of peace and the concept of enlightenment. In this time, it is likely that Jesus discovered the knowledge himself or was aware of its existence. He then went to learn under the Essene community and became deeply involved in the knowledge and will have learnt all its content. Including its history as you are reading here. Jesus then would have known that there was a second line of knowledge growing in Asia based in the culture of Hindu in India. In his missing years Jesus may have traveled here and become the first person in the world to study both the lines of the Kabbalah and the Kundalini to become enlightened. He would have then taught this to his apostles or inner circle where he was planning on passing on this line to them to keep it going. From this point the line will have continued from one of the apostles including Mary. Christianity was then founded as a belief system based around these ideas of both knowledge and the notion of goodwill and peace from the Kundalini. The stories passed down through the ages written in the bible showing the history of the belief system contained the Ten Commandments from Moses and all the works of Hebrew from Abraham. Showing the connection of Jesus and his line of knowledge.
As with all belief systems fractions occur between what people think is the right way and the wrong way to practice them. The ones that stay true and the ones that try and change them. In 100A.D the Gnostic belief system started alongside Christianity. At this point you might say that Jesus started Christianity so that is the right path, (in terms of the line of knowledge) Gnostic belief was more free thinking and contained practices of Alchemy and Numerology and Astrology, whereas Christianity did not. It is important to bring up that Christianity did still contain the knowledge of the universe but was taught in a more vague and mystical fashion, passing on stories and myths that relate to aspects of the knowledge as opposed to real events. The issue was that people who did not understand the hidden meaning of the stories often took them as fact and used them as historical evidence. Take the story of Adam and Eve for example. We know it is a scientific fact that humans did not evolve from these two individuals. But it is in fact a story of how the universe was created and the effects of the big bang. Adam and Eve represent the numbers one and two in our knowledge and thus are two complete opposites. Like yin and yang, or the thunder bolt and the pitchfork. When combined the offspring would create the two new mixtures of these opposites and represent the numbers three and four. The snake in the garden represents the snake in the Kabbalah that shows the path of enlightenment who tempted Adam and Eve to leave the garden and search for the knowledge of the universe in this case with the apple which represents the effects of zero. Once outside the garden on their own path started by the snake, they begin to expand their numbers and create the first stages for creating life. From this we can see how difficult it is to find the real meaning. This line of knowledge however was eventual passed on to the Roman Empire and can be seen when pope Urban the second starts the crusades as an unofficial means to recover the Ark, which shows that the Pope knew its existence and therefore was the line holder for this off shoot of the line in Christianity. It is certain to say that the free-thinking system of Gnosticism was the carry on for the main line of knowledge due to its more scientific approach to its teaching methods. For many political and sociological reasons that I will not go into in this book, Christianity become the dominant system in the area and Gnostic beliefs become condemned by the Church and seen as satanic and evil. Thus, carrying on this normal stereotype even in modern day meaning that this now open and free-thinking progression of the universal knowledge line had to become secret again, hiding from the common society as not to be destroyed by the dominant belief system in the area.
In the year 272A.D Emperor Constantine officially declared Christianity as the dominant religion of his kingdom in Italy to try to create peace in the region. In this year the bible was created as to ensure all people practiced the same religion and would learn the same history of their system. This was more an act of social and economic stability rather than an attempt to preserve any line of knowledge. Even though Gnostic practices had been condemned and now classed as extinct by the emperor mainly because Christianity was followed by the greater number of people in the population rather than it being the more scientifically correct method of thinking, it is safe to assume that did not stop them acting in secret. We now know that even today this belief system is still practiced in certain areas. As the Roman empire flourished and become the new dominant civilization the line had to find a new way of surviving without being noticed to what they really were practicing. In 300A.D a new belief system appeared called Mithraism within the Roman army, who's practices are almost identical to the Gnostic just with a new name. These practices were spread from the edges of the new vast Roman Empire from the Edges of Europe to the new Britain. It was the perfect way to ensure the survival of the line as the empire was spreading all over the continent and the army were the ones that were doing the expanding, so who better than to pass the line onto to make sure its teachings were passed all over the globe and to give it a higher survival rate.
After the line being passed on by the Romans in Mithraism and spread the very corners of the earth, the line of knowledge that started its separate progression in Iran and Turkey began to make its revival, after itself being passed on in its culture through Zoroastrianism and the Persian Empire and developing in its own science and practices. Still containing all the original information passed on from the original line. A ruler called Justinian the Great who started to advance the great Byzantine empire that was in the same area. This was the perfect opportunity for the line of knowledge to begin to flourish in this area as the next major civilization. Justinian must have been the keeper of the knowledge or at least had access to it to have been able to bring the Byzantine empire into its peak, also to re-enforce this theory, he also commissioned the largest temple ever built since King Solomon and His great temple in Jerusalem. This temple was called the Hagia Sophia built in 537A.D and still stands today. The Sophia was primarily a Christian church but also contained the perfect blend of Zoroastrianism and Christian beliefs as his way of trying to unite the two lines back together. Because of this it was clear that Justinian had access to both lines of knowledge and understand the importance that they came from the same origin and that they must be reunited together again. Now with the unification of Christian, Mithraism and Zoroastrianism all the lines were complete again except for the missing Ark that was still hidden in Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.
In around 600A.D a man called Muhammad lived in the large surrounding area of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. This man in his travels will have had access to the newly brought together knowledge by Justinian and able to move freely between all adjacent countries. In his studies Muhammad was drawn to the search for a higher spiritual life and so doing will eventual have discovered that there was a hidden line and so in search for enlightenment discovered both the knowledge being passed around in Jerusalem and by Justinian. Through these systems Muhammad eventually created the belief system of Islam that was to flourish in this area and become very quickly accepted as the new official belief system. Carrying on the line of knowledge in a new definitive up to date version. It is certain that he would have known about the Ark as he would have also known all the history of the line and so all its secrets. In 640A.D Islam spread to Jerusalem and took control of the city, it is interesting that just thirty years later after the creation of Islam that the focused spread of the system would reach this city, it is a very good indication that the possession of the Ark was the focus of Muhammad before he died and to reunite it with the line. However, the Ark was never found. After his death a new leader was given the title of Caliph, this was said to mean the successor of Muhammad and would have been his chief disciple and been passed on the full knowledge of the universe. In 661A.D the Caliph would become the leader of the Umayyad dynasty that with the power of the knowledge and the full rule of the new dominant civilization spread Islam all the way to southern Spain, in its attempt to pass on the line and ensure its survival through the people of the world. In Granada it was encouraged that Muslim and Christian people were to live together without conflict as the ruler at the time knew the importance of both beliefs and with his higher knowledge of the universe didn't believe that one should replace the other as they are all from the same origin. The Umayyad Dynasty continued until 750A.D where it was taken over by the Abbasid Dynasty from 750A.D until 1258A.D until it was invaded by the Mongols. The line of knowledge would have been passed on through the Caliph in the Umayyad dynasty even though the Abbasids were in power, this is known because if the knowledge had of passed on to the new rulers, then the civilization would have flourished and not started to decline in the area. The more likelihood is that the line was kept in secret and passed on through the original family. As the line was passed on to a group of assassins at the time of the crusade and thus not given to the ruler of the current civilization, this will be discussed later in this history. With the decline of the civilization in the area and the loss of the knowledge the Islamic Kingdom was open to invasion by the crusades.
In Israel and Egypt where the priests of the Edfu temple still resided and the spiritual presence and community were still in existence. But also, in the Europe areas of France and Italy where the line was hidden in society after being part of the Roman civilization. Looking at the first date in this period, 1056A.D the orthodox church splits from the Roman Catholic church. This is the first time since the unification of Christianity that there was a conflict of beliefs, this could be since somebody within the church that had access to the knowledge believed the catholic church to be going against original teaching of Jesus in some way and the orthodox church leaders were studying the line themselves. This was most likely Pope Urban 2nd in 1046A.D who for no apparent reason at all declared a crusade against the Islamic community and ordered Jerusalem to be recovered, this was certainly an attempt to find the Ark which was still hidden. It is important currently to note that the knowledge line was certainly still present. In 1111A.D the concept of the Knights Templar was created but not made official until the year 1118A.D by the appointed leader Bernard of Clairvaux. This turn of events was started just after the first crusade of Jerusalem in 1099A.D the capture of the city and its temples may have shed light on the location of the Ark hidden so many centuries ago by King Solomon. Bernard declared the second crusade and set up residence in Temple Mount using it as his headquarters, which is where the Ark was meant to have been buried. It is now known through several historical works that evidence proves that the Knights Templar were not all they claimed to be and although worked within the church they in fact were a separate society that worked to gain the churches favor to gain influence in the crusades. When the Knights first entered the crusades, Bernard, and his small order of a handful of Knights declared themselves as the protectors of the road between Europe and Jerusalem. An impossible task as the road was thousands of miles long and surrounded by enemies. This was clearly an attempt to enter the crusade for future endeavors. The Knights were to the common eye a holy order of monk warriors, practicing their “beliefs” like monks but were trained to fight and uphold the laws of the universe and enlightenment, however their appearance to be warriors of Christianity was a clever deception to hide their true intention. It was proven during an inquisition that the secret initiation ceremony involved the recruit taken to a room and asked to spit on the cross, at this time the recruit would have been devote holy and such a thing would be unthinkable. If they refused, they were rewarded for their devotion to God and kept as part of the order. Unknowing to them they would stay in the lower ranks and become the public face of the order. The ones who spit on the cross were given higher positions and learnt the secrets of the order making them part of the inner circle and thus a student of the universal knowledge. A clever way of staying hidden in the eyes of the church so they could go about their secret business unchallenged. As they Knights sent off their Christian warriors to take back the holy lands, the inner circle studied their knowledge and searched for the Ark under temple mount practicing their rituals and scientific research in plain sight of the church. In the same period another order was formed in Hassan I Sabbah created an order of assassins to protect Jerusalem from the Muslim invaders trying to capture it. These Assassins were said to have had a great fortress in the area that was meant to guard hidden knowledge. As we can see these two orders were both on a mission to protect the knowledge and the forgotten Ark from being destroyed by the Muslims at the time, it is important to note that the Assassins themselves were Muslims just as the Knights were technically of Christian faith. These were the two secret orders of the inner science that both religions had built themselves upon, therefore there were two sides to both faiths and nationalities at war, it was in fact the two science-based orders of the faiths that saw the true intentions of the faiths and saw to help each other in the preservation of the knowledge. These assassins as previously mentioned were the line holders from the lost Umayyad Dynasty. Being spiritually awakened by the knowledge of the universe saw that the knights being the line holders of their time along with themselves needed to join to take the Ark and the existing two lines of knowledge back to Europe, where the next civilization was to become developed and ensure a new unified line that would be passed on, away from conflict of the Christians and Muslims. It was then proven that these two orders worked together on many occasions to achieve their goals which again was unveiled in the inquisition of the Knights Templar and seen as satanic activity within the order. Not long after the second crusade the Knights significantly reduced their presence in these lands and spread through Europe on the promise, they were protecting the Christian people from all harm in the world. The probable reason for this is that the Ark was found or at least more great work of Solomon's and then brought back to England being the most remote growing civilization away from the church in Italy at the time and being a much easier place to defend. The Knights presences stretched right up to the Island of Mull in Scotland. This would have been the furthest point away from the church in Christian territory. And at the time there would have been no real reason for the Knights to be in that area of the country. In the following years the Knights would be proclaimed an independent organisation free from all laws and answered to only the Pope. This would allow them to do anything they wanted, buying up vast amounts of land and property they became even more powerful than the church and were their own army. Eventually they even placed their own Pope on the seat of power thus making them unstoppable. We can safely say that the Knights possessed new knowledge taken from the Ark as to achieve this kind of position and power over the church and taken it back to England to be kept safe. In this period subjects from the universal knowledge like alchemy and astrology become more and more prominent and for the first time since the outlawing of Gnostic belief becoming open and unpunished in society, also adding to the proof that with the decline on of the Churches influence the Knights were able to protect those who decided to learn the knowledge. many great individuals arose as they progressed this line. Such were Albertus Magnus in 1206A.D who was credited to making the very first Philosophers Stone, which we now know as a device that was meant to help achieve enlightenment. This then passed on to his successor which vanished, quite possibly as he saw how dangerous this was and destroyed it. There were also several prominent texts written by Rodger Bacon in 1214A.D who was said to be one of the most physically and energetically powerful men in the world. Michael Scott in 1225A.D and Raymond Lull in 1232A.D all of which were supported by the current English monarchy and several of them were given the title of Sir for their achievements in science. This suggests a sympathetic cause led by the monarchy towards this knowledge of alchemy and astrology being used in the culture where it had once been condemned.
In 1307 a new Pope was placed in power and saw to it that the Knights should be destroyed as they had too much power over the church, this Pope clearly saw that the Knights possessed the line of knowledge and believed that Christianity was still the rightful holders of it and needed to become dominant again. In a single day they were condemned by the church and sentenced to die all over the world. Letters to be opened simultaneously and the sentences to be carried out at once, so the order could not plan a defense. At this time the leader of the order and a hand full of Knights escaped to their based on the Island of Mull in Scotland. (The possible hiding place of the Ark). With the order destroyed the Knights had to carry on the line and so started the next secret society. Changing the name and there appearance as to not be obviously recognized by the church in fear of death.
Due to this, the Freemasons in 1314A.D in Scotland were created. This organisation achieved the same style of infiltration and contained many prominent men of power in the country. Originally made to include working class members of society to become sympathetic to their cause and gain popular favor in the country. The need for more political action was warranted and more powerful individuals were recruited in upper class society. Again, the Freemasons producing many works of significance until the 1440's where published work began to die off. In 1484A.D the order of the Rosicrucian or Rosy Cross was secretly started in Europe which again mimics the methods of the Freemasons and Knights Templar. Improving their methods in secrecy. Although the order was not officially created until 1484A.D the concept of its creation within the Freemasons was started in the year 1444A.D The order was never even heard of until it was discovered in 1609 and made public knowledge of its existence after being brought into public light. Not long after this public outing, all the writings of discovery that the order wanted to be shown to the outside world were published after being held secret, and a flurry of scientific advancement took place in the next couple of years. Then once all the work was complete that the order wanted to be made public, and before the order could be condemned again. During this time there were many prominent scholars that worked in the court of Europe's Kings, mainly in the Hungary and Czech region under the king Rudolf 2nd, and in England under Elizabeth. Two such men were John Dee and Edward Kelly who advised the Queen and Dee was said to be the brainchild of the English Empire. These two were almost certainly at the head of the Rosicrucian society and in later life moved to Hungary where they were in close contact with Europe's biggest guild of Alchemist in Czech which was quickly dispersed after the death of its major benefactor. At the time of the new reform the order disappeared to Germany and created the group called Gold Und Rosencrutz, supposedly by a man of the same name. This was in no doubt a ruse to try and hide the identity of the order and its transformation in 1666A.D. Again, in the years around 1777A.D they became the Illuminate, (illuminate was another word for illumination or enlightenment) a secret society said to include many of great scientific minds like Newton and great artists during the renaissance including Di Vinci and Michelangelo. The Illuminate were credited as being opposed to the church in Rome and worked within it to hide their secret knowledge of science again just like the Knights. This secret order had a very colorful history during the renaissance where science was condemned and anyone proving the church’s teachings were wrong were burnt at the stake. Great minds like Giordano Bruno, his student Campanella and his friend Galileo were all put on trial against the church, eventually able to infiltrate the church and place a sympathetic pope in power. This allowed the order to again take place in the court of the ruling powers in Europe until the Jesuits realized this and tried to push them out of the church. This led to the creation of Isaac Newton’s secret brotherhood that claimed to only practice pure science but after Newton’s death, it was discovered that all his work had come from the progression of the secret line of knowledge as over 160 books on Alchemy were found in his library. By the year 1888 all mention of the Illuminate had disappeared but in that year in England the Order of the Golden Dawn was created, and again with all the holders of the line of knowledge were given the title of devil worship and magicians as they were constantly caught studying geometric symbols, practicing alchemy, and acting upon rituals passed on since the days of the great cradle civilization. The Golden Dawn produced a more structured learning system for its recruits as to ensure the proper passing of the knowledge. Many works were produced from members of the order some unknown and some known. The most famous of these individuals were Aleister Crowley, also described as the evillest man in the world and a Satan worshiper. If one is to read his texts, he was simply the first person at the time to openly publish his work and the origins of where it came from. Crowley was then closely followed by his student Israel Regardie who openly published all teaching as activities of the Golden Dawn. It is important to mention many of the members of the Golden Dawn, who have reviled themselves, including Crowley and Regardie, there are many pieces of evidence that say the order once formed had a mandate to reform, every 111 years to maintain its identity and to re structure its methods according to the modern-day society and progression of its knowledge. If we look at the dates below, we can see a common theme which supports this. Considering the conception and beginning transformation within the original group and then taking several years for it to become fully independent.
Knights Templar around 1111A.D then officially in 1118A.D
Freemasons in 1314A.D would have been 1333A.D if not forced by the church to start prematurely.
Rosicrucian around 1444A.D and then officially in 1484A.D
no need for a reform as no one knew they existed in 1555A.D
Gold und Crutz in 1666A.D
The Illuminate in 1777A.D
The Order of the Golden Dawn in 1888A.D
The order then changes in 1999A.D due to a legal dispute with an order in America that was stealing their published work, the order then turned into Rubia et auvea crucias. At this time this is as far as we can accurately track the knowledge of the universe line in Europe. This is also a far as we can go without being part of the inside order itself and knowing exactly what the next step of the line is, as the history has not been written or documented yet we will not know what happens next until it has already happened, and a few years have passed allowing popular knowledge to be aware of what is going on. However, it is my belief that the line of knowledge or at least part of it was turned into an existing community in America called the International Alchemists Guild. This order was formed in Vienna around 1999A.D where the world’s leading minds from the line of knowledge including those from the Golden Order of Dawn came together to form the new order for the line and pass it on to the next major civilization, being America. This knowledge and task were given to a man that is now the founder of the I.A.G and currently promoted its beliefs and practices in a way that the order was originally created for. This although could be only part of the line as although all the aspects of the knowledge are promoted and studied, the guilds focus is primarily on Alchemy alone.
From the last series of events, we can clearly see that the inner circle of the order reforms roughly every 111 years allowing it to re sharpen and be kept away from the main society of the area. Although at the same time leaking information and scientific information when its sees fit to do so and helping the rest of the world progress in a steady manner. The already existing groups carry on into the ages as to days members of the Freemasons and Rosicrucian are still active. These lines are most likely left to carry on its traditions to hide any attention given to the new reformed movement as to make it look as though nothing has happened or that the new group is less important and not worth being troubled by society. Leaving them free to practice in piece until the next set of texts are ready to be given out.
This line I know referred to as the European Line is also the Line of the Kabbalah, although the Kabbalah was not created at the start of it, or at least not by name, its building blocks and basic principles have led its progression through all the above, creating the now up to date line of knowledge we can describe as the Kabbalah.
