"I was told that the left-hand pillar that stood in the porchway of King Solomon's Temple has special significance to freemasons. Both the left-hand and right-hand pillars are recreated in the Lodge and stand behind, and to each side of the Worshipful Master. The left-hand pillar, called Boaz, was named after Boaz, the great grandfather of David, King of Israel

Page

"The right-hand pillar from the porchway of King Solomons Temple was described to complement the information given in the previous degree regarding the left hand pillar. This pillar, identified as 'Jachin', was said to be named after the high priest who assisted at the dedication of this section of the Temple at Jerusalem. The twin pillars Boaz and Jachin were to become massively important at all points of our future research. The first is said to represent 'strength or in its strength'; the second 'to establish' and when united 'stability'.

The Knights Templar

"The red cross on the white robe was the garb, not of all crusaders but of a group of warrior monks: the Knights Templar. Their mysterious rise from nowhere, their subsequent massive wealth and influence and their sudden and total fall from grace on

Friday 13 October 1307

has made them the subject debate and imaginative speculation from that day to this."

The Knights Templar

Page 36

"The order developed quickly and its prior must have been an ambitious and particularly astute individual as he took the unusual steps of creating a military arm by accepting knights to join, after which he changed the title of the Order to 'the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem'. It obtained papal blessing in 1118 when it was provided with a formal constitution, known as Rule"

"in the same year he and eight other knights established the unofficial Order of the Poor Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon."

The Templars as they are now called"

"All of these original knights were laymen who took an oath to live as though they were monks, in poverty, chastity and with obediance.Initially they wore no special clothing, but they said prayers at regular intervals and in every way they behaved as though they were members of a religious order.

Some time in 1118 those nine knights apparently landed from France and appointing themselves guardians of the Judaean desert roads leading to Jerusalem. This standard account struck us as odd"

Page 37

"From the evidence available it seems clear that the band of nine knights did not expand for a long time after its establishment. It was not until after they had spent no less than nine years in their lodgings that Hughes de Payen left for the west in search of worthy recruits who would swell the order to a size more appropriate to the fulfillment of its self proclaimed mission.

"We soon realised that many other writers had had reservations about the accepted versions of the Templars' aims"

"the French historian Gaetan Delaforge commented;

'The real task of the nine knights was to carry out research in the the area in order to obtain certain relics and manuscripts which contain the essence of the secret traditions of Judaism and ancient Egypt, some of which probably went back to the days of Moses"

"For nine years then, these nine devoted 'treasure' hunters had excavated the site of the great Temples of the Jews and during that time they had not sought or allowed any further knight entrants to their order,..."

" The future St Bernard quickly brought the fledgling Order to the attention of Pope Honarius II, asking that his adopted little band of knights from Jerusalem should be provided with a 'Rule' a constitution of their own that laid out requirements for conduct and practice which would give them legitamacy and defined status within the Church. This was finally given on

"Eventually the Templars luck was to run out. The Pope and Phillip, King of France moved in on the errant Order, bringing it to its knees in just one terrible day...

Friday 13 October 1307.

Ever since that day the number thirteen has been considered unlucky and a Friday the 13th of any month has become a date to keep any overly superstitious person clinging to their lucky rabbit's foot."

"the sounds uttered in open Lodge are;

'Ma' at-neb-men-aa,

Ma'at-ba-aa

Those readers who are Freemasons will recognise these words but will be astounded to know that they are pure ancient Egyptian. Their meaning is breathtaking;

'Great is the established Master of Freemasonry, Great is the spirit of Freemasonry'

We have translated 'Ma'at as Freemasonry' because there is no other modern single word that comes close to the original complex concept that conveyed a whole bundle of ideas around 'truth, justice, fairness, harmony and moral rectitude as symbolised by the regular purity and upright foundations of a temple'

Ma'at was, as we saw earlier, an attitude to life that blended the three most important values that mankind possesses, namely the knowledge of science, the beauty ofart and the spirituality of theology. That is the craft of Masonry.

The other translations are straightforward on a word-for-word basis"

" The central importance of the king of Judah was demonstrated in their New Year rituals, which followed Egyptian and Babylonian models. Some of the most important ritual acts were intended to ensure that the king continued to rule, an example of this being a re-enactment by the king of the original battle of the triumph of the forces of darkness and chaos.¹

"The king and his priests chanted the 'Enuma elish'- the story tells how the chaos-dragon Tiamat was over-come to allow the creation to take place."
