The major secret societies and cults are usually run by elite males who claim to have hidden knowledge, which can only be revealed to 'the chosen'.
1. OSIRIAN CULT
This Egyptian cult, which had initiation rituals, believed that Osiris was the God of Resurrection.
Ancient Egyptians believed that the ka, or life-force, left the body at the point of death.
What happened to Osiris?
Set, half-brother of King Osiris, cut Osiris into 14 parts.
Isis, Osiris's queen and sister, gathered up the parts of Osiris, to bring him back to life, but could not find his penis since it was thrown into the Nile.
Isis then created a new penis from clay, affixed it to Osiris and breathed life into him to enact his resurrection.
Osiris then became lord of both the upper (earth) and lower worlds.
snippet from Isis and Osiris
Osiris performed miracles.
He had 12 disciples.
He taught water baptism.
There is a cult devoted to Hyacinth. 'Jealous that Hyacinth preferred Apollo, Zephyrus blew Apollo's discus off course to kill Hyacinth. When Hyacinth died, Apollo did not allow Hades to claim the youth; rather, he made a flower, the hyacinth, from his spilled blood.'
2. THE DELPHIC ORACLES
People came from all over Greece and beyond to have their questions about the future answered by the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo.
The Greek god Apollo was the patron of Delphi.
"It is said of the Pythian priestess, whose oracle seems to have been the most celebrated, that when she sat down a the mouth of the Castalian cave, the prophetic spirit of Apollo entered her private parts.
"She sat with parted thighs on the tripod of Apollo, and the evil spirit entered her from below, passing through her genital organs, and plunged her into a state of frenzy, so that she began with loosened hair to foam and rage like a drunkard."
3. THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES
In Ancient Greece, certain people who were 'chosen' could be initiated in to the Eleusinian Mysteries, which referred to an afterlife.
These mysteries are linked to Persephone, who was seized by Hades, the god of death and the underworld.
Zeus allowed Persephone to return to her mother.
"For the initiated, the rebirth of Persephone symbolized the eternity of life which flows from generation to generation, and they believed that they would have a reward in the afterlife."
"During the mid-500s B.C., Peisistratos, a ruler of of Athens, promoted pederasty and the Eleusian Mysteries."
The god Dionysus was androgynous and had his own cult.
"The Dionysian Mysteries were a ritual of ancient Greece and Rome which used intoxicants and other trance-inducing techniques (like dance and music) to remove inhibitions and social constraints, liberating the individual to return to a natural state."
Greeks
When the wine god Dionysus went to Hades to rescue his mother Semele, the young shepherd Prosymnus guided him to the entrance.
The reward demanded by Prosymnus for this service was the right to make love to Dionysus.
However, when Dionysus returned to earth by a different route, he found that Prosymnus had meanwhile died.
Dionysus kept his promise by carving a piece of fig wood into the shape of a phallus and used it to ritually fulfill his promise to Prosymus, while seated on his tomb.
This, it is said, was given as an explanation of the presence of a fig-wood phallus among the secret objects revealed in the course of the Dionysian Mysteries.

"The Pharisees were obsessed with man-made rules (especially concerning purity).
"Whereas Jesus is more concerned with God's love.
"The Pharisees scorn sinners whereas Jesus seeks them out."
When Jesus healed the man's withered hand, the chief result was that 'the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.'
(Matthew 12:14).
Mithraism was a mystery religion centred around the god Mithras that was practised in the Roman Empire from about the 1st to the 4th century CE.
The religion was inspired by Persian worship of the god Mithra.
Mithra becomes Mithras in the Greco-Roman world.

"Gnosis is mystical or esoteric knowledge (knowledge for the small elite) based on direct participation with the divine."

Thank you for this video clip.
ReplyDeleteWell done, in one piece a lot of knowledge.
And also these Greeks...of course there was a lot of filth there, maybe origins of this culture were eleveted, but then...came down to low level.
Greetings,
Man, Aangirfan, that clip from the superstar movie is just terrible. What's with the freaky hats and the B&D get-up? The Pharisees may've been obsessed with money and power, but they never committed such terrible sins against fashion and style.
ReplyDeleteYou could've instead chosen a really beautiful song from Kate Ceberano or Marcia Hines. Or Agnetha from ABBA. Or Sporty Spice even.

Everything's alright.
Yes, everything's fine.
as a Gnostic Christian i would like to clarify that gnostic esotericism is based on the 3 factors of the revolution of the consciousness - The Death or dissolution of the Ego, the alchemy - sexual tantrism without the ejaculation between husband and wife and the sacrifice for humanity - giving the teachings for free (going huge voluntary hardships for others. So associating the gnostics with homosexual activity is very far from the truth and does us a huge dishonour.
ReplyDeleteCould be. So glad to hear that was only off mainstream in gnosis.
DeleteThank you for posting, regards
Thank you. If this post were not on this excellent blog I might use the word "crude".
DeleteFirst joke ever heard/remembered, “I know a little Greek – he runs a restaurant in...”. Of course, parallels and Jesus-story, disputed. But no bother/whatever, unless this put someone off searching Bible-wise, i.e. Jesus-wise. Greek influence on the N.T. was natural and fitting. While post-this, snookered theology. Number of long-held assumptions because of, need rigorous reappraisal. Gnostics almost derailed the early church. Issue with this kind of attitude today is claiming superior knowledge. Can be anywhere, even the ‘church’. Graceless denominationalism. Without openness. Always includes an elite priest-class and come over as a snobby sect. Not N.T. ways. What of the influence and perceived heritage by those wanting to be-god among us? Enemy cabal/s behind the cabals. They seem wedded into apprehending ownership of all history. Particular note is the 50’s discovery (?) of The Temple of Mithras in – couldn’t be more central within – The City of London. Reckon, this middle of that square/mile, particular-thinks a global stronghold. Which it is, and yet isn’t – in vulnerable to take-downs, in my book. Timely post. As usual, lot to learn and consider. Like hearing how/what can be, an archetype. “I know a little Greek...”
ReplyDeleteThe Ministry of Truth has an article about the Illuminati up today...nothing to see here folks, move along, was all a long time ago etc.... http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20171127-the-birthplace-of-the-illuminati

ReplyDeleteone reason for secret societies is to hide from the elites of that time who would kill, hassle, pursue those people who had gnostic ideas or had esoteric views. People who awaken their consciousness are called Masters and the vast majority of Masters are despised and hater by those in power. We see this with the Christ, Quetzalcoatl etc. The gnostics were massacred by a crusade against them. So like the early Christians who were hounded some groups went underground. I know secret groups who have members who are house wifes, students, teachers, gardeners, chefs etc and do not have powerful positions. Gnostic ideas will put us in collision with the NWO agenda, as we protect the universal cosmic principle that the male/female the wife/husband are needed to practise sacred sex or what is called the Alchemy. This is sex without the orgasm. Society is degenerating and the elites what to destroy this love. So some go underground and we are very far from being elitist as we destroy the ego which creates this type of mentality.
