Excellent :) Feel free to use the reply, it was a bit of a scattered mind dump and its still only a fraction of the leads I'm researching further .. I don't claim to be an expert on anything, and I am a little worried about starting a literal witchhunt, but theres just too many recurring themes and coincidences here for me to personally let go yet..
I should point out too, although I namedropped the oto and prince hall shriners I'm not condemning their religious beliefs and I understand that these practices are not officially endorsed or followed by all initiates of all branches of these mystery schools.
Just like the freemasonry and many other formerly secret society's things their practises and belief systems have gone semi-public , and their ranks these days are filled mostly with truth-seekers like ourselves following their own path to enlightenment.
It's important (to me) that the mostly unaware public doesn't get into a 'satanic panic' and condemn anyone seeking deeper knowledge - this includes the consensual use of blood and human meat products to reinforce your expressions of intent.
There's an old but telling conversation between Thelemites here for example that gives some insight into the mindset - and the signs of the beginning of a potential internal split.
Once again its the extremists that fuck things up for everyone else ..
If you can get past the cognitive dissonance of a lot of these topics and really delve deep into occult symbolism and practices, you'll begin to recognize it literally everywhere. This rabbit hole goes deep, be careful mate :)
Edit to clarify: The threat isn't "the occult" , it's extremist subdivisions trying to supercharge their expressions of malicious intent by triggering extreme terror in young minds. We need more open acceptance and public education into these deeper topics before they will begin to understand the bigger picture.
Most people still believe the official 9/11 story. Baby steps.
Yeah I here you, the internet is full of extremists who will use this information to fit the narrative they wish to sell that reinforces whatever confirmation bias they are suffering from. We can't let that happen so that everyone takes this seriously. These are actual crimes being done to children and that cannot be allowed to continue.
As a Christian I don't believe in Gnosticism, or the value of the "mystery schools", which are not really a mystery, their teachings are all available to read. However I won't make this about some personal Christian "witch hunt" of the OTO, I will just relay the facts as they are to ensure people don't blow this off as some Christian bullshit as most of the world does not see from the same perspective as me. I will try to leave my biases out of this.
I do understand that the vast majority of Free Masons, etc are just regular people looking for answers and not involved in this stuff in any way. They see the organization as just a charitable social gathering basically because to them that is all it is. They don't understand at the very top levels of these organizations, being done in secret is this human sacrifice, cannibalism, and pedosadism which is ritualistically performed and used to control people with blackmail. If the average person knew any of this stuff there would be riots in the streets for legitimate causes not Soros paid for riots about some fake election we just had.
Excellent :) Just wanted to make sure that's out there juuust in case.
