Freemasonry (part 12)
Masonic Classes
In the previous discussion, we examined the degrees of Freemasonry and the individuals who hold these degrees. However, it must be understood that not all those who acquire these Masonic degrees from among ordinary people are on the same level as those who obtain the same degrees from individuals possessing the “hidden power.” In other words, acquiring the degree does not automatically grant them knowledge of the true and secret mysteries, nor does it mean they aspire to leadership and management within Freemasonry.
This is not the case! From the moment the “hidden power” took control of the Freemason organization, the matter was completely settled: the right to leadership was restricted to them and the successors they chose, whether or not they held high Masonic degrees. The only criterion was that the individual aligned with Zionism and their satanic principles.
Those who, deceived by the illusion of ranks, think they have gained insight are like the blind; they follow instructions from unknown sources without understanding the true purpose of these directives.
Perhaps the clearest evidence of this reality is the statement of someone who reached the thirty-third degree (the highest Masonic rank), who said:
“Here, I joined the ranks of the enlightened elders, but despite the high position I held at this great degree, I did not know from where the ‘high directives’ regarding various actions came, not even the ‘president’ of our lodge knew the original source. I realized that all lodge leaders adhered to instructions that were transmitted to them enigmatically, such as: ‘Follow the supreme directive as we have followed it, and perform such and such actions,’ or ‘According to instructions that law does not allow to be disclosed, pay such an amount to expand the domain and benefits of the organization,’ and similar directives.” [1]
Therefore, Masonic classes are not equal; rather, they consist of three ascending levels:
-
The first and lowest level: General or “Blue” Masonry.
This level consists of the blind newcomers, whose eyes are covered by the slogans of “Brotherhood, Equality, Freedom.” Even if they achieve higher degrees, or even if they are kings, princes, officials, or influential figures, they remain like the blind, led by unknown sources.
Albert Pike, a prominent figure in Freemasonry, says: “The Blue degrees are only the outer hall or vestibule of the temple. Some of the symbols are shown to the newcomer, but deliberately with misleading explanations. The goal is not for them to understand these symbols, but to believe they understand them. The true meaning and purpose of these symbols are kept secret for the experts and royal members of Freemasonry. For most who call themselves Masons, it is sufficient to believe that everything is contained in the blue degrees, and any attempt to free them from these illusions is futile.” [2]
The Hidden Purpose of Attracting Celebrities and Influential Figures in Freemasonry
-
Utilizing their wealth
The aim of promoting these individuals and granting them high degrees is to exploit them, especially their financial resources. Adam Weishaupt, head of the Illuminati, states:
“Among the wealthy, there are ignorant and naive individuals who should be elevated and honored, and there is no harm in organizing them within our higher degrees; we need them, not for their personality, but for their money… And know that they open doors for us, so bring them into Freemasonry while concealing our true purpose so they do not flee from us.” [3]
-
Using their name and reputation to justify Freemasonry
Another purpose is to use their fame as leverage to defend Freemasonry against those exposing its secret aims. Masons respond:
“Freemasonry includes kings, princes, aristocrats, politicians with diverse tastes and inclinations. Also, scholars, philosophers, and religious leaders participate, and the membership numbers in the millions. If the claims of Freemasonry’s enemies were true, kings themselves would have acted to destroy their thrones, and monks and rabbis would have sought to annihilate religions they believed to be true.” [4]
They also claim: “Freemasonry is a general brotherhood and has never interfered with revolutions or entered political or religious matters. A group that included Sheikh Muhammad Abduh, the Mufti of Islam in Egypt, cannot be against religions.” [5]
Some Members Who Discovered the Truth About Freemasonry
However, some individuals began to have troubling doubts, and their reason guided them to lift the veil of deception and uncover the hidden reality. Consequently, their conscience was not at peace until they publicly renounced Freemasonry and revealed its ugly secrets, including:
-
Sayyed Jamal al-Din Asadabadi (Afghani)
He who initially joined Freemasonry said: “The first thing that attracted me to the Freemasons was the grand and dangerous title ‘Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood.’ But later it became clear that this title was nothing but a deception under which self-interest, individualism, desire for leadership, acting according to group whims, and obedience to a distant central authority were hidden.” [6]
-
Sheikh Muhammad Abduh
His student, Muhammad Rashid Rida, says: “My teacher, Imam (RA), left Freemasonry long ago. Upon his return from exile to Egypt, Freemasons sent many invitations, but he did not respond. They sent him directions, but he refused. Once I asked him about the truth of Freemasonry; he said that its real function in the lands it was established for had ended—that is, opposing the rule of kings and popes. He also noted that his and Sayyed’s involvement in Freemasonry was only for political and social purposes, and he has not returned to it. He stated that Freemasonry in Egypt had reached a level of corruption unprecedented before and once advised a governor of Beirut to shut down a Masonic lodge plotting against the Ottoman government with the support of certain European states.” [7]
-
Political writer ‘Awadh Khuri’
Earlier, his book Tobdid al-Zhulm was discussed.
Besides these, many famous Arab and non-Arab figures exist whose names Freemasonry still exploits to mislead the public and associate them with the organization’s secret aims. [8]
