The Secret History of Freemasonry: Its Origins and Connection to the Knights Templar

Masonic Poetry – Br. Rob Morris

THE MASON’S PLEDGE

Brother, harken, while I tell you
What we Masons pledged to do,
When, prepared at yonder altar,
We assumed the Mason’s vow!
Foot and knee, breast, hand and cheek–
while I make
them speak!

Foot to foot, on mercy’s errand,
When we hear a brother’s cry,
Hungry, thirsty, barefoot, naked,
With God’s mercy let us fly.
This of all our thoughts the chief,
How to give him quick relief.
Knee to knee, in earnest praying,
None but God to hear Or heed
All our woes and sins confessing,
Let us for each other plead;
By the spirit of our call,
Let us pray for brothers all.
Breast to breast, in sacred carket,
At life’s center let us seal
Every truth to us entrusted,
Nor one holy thing reveal!
What a Mason vows to shield,
Let him die, but never yield.

Hand to back, a brother’s falling,
Look, his burdens are too
Stretch the generous hand an(] hold him
Up before it is too late.
The right arm’s a friendly prop,
Made to hold a brother up,
Cheek to check, in timely whisper
When the tempter strives to win,
Urge the brother’s bounden duty,
Show him the approaching sin,
Point to him the deadly snare,
Save him with a brother’s care.

Brother, let us often ponder
What we Masons pledged to do,
When, prepared at yonder altar,
We assumed the Mason’s vow;
Foot and knee, breast, hand and check,
Let these oft our duties speak.

Can someone explain how everything developed, the Yorkinos and the Ecoces, which war they fought and how freemasonry is today?

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR

In 1737 the Chevalier Andrew Ramsay wrote an ?Oratioii, which, although never delivered, was widely circulated among French Freemasons in the 1740s. In it Ramsay wrote of a renewal of Freemasonry, described as an order founded in remote antiquity? among a certain group of Crusaders, and alluded to a resulting intimate union? between Freemasonry and the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, who brought the revived Order and its ancient ceremonies back to the British Isles. This account was widely misinterpreted as a claim that Freemasonry, as a symbolic system, had originated among the Knights Templar, and thus Ramsay?s romantic dreams were transformed into an elaborate history that saw the Templars as the true founders of the Craft.

Though this theory has been much popularized in recent years it has no foundation in fact whatsoever, as the briefest glance at the actual history of the Templars? origins will reveal.

The Order of Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, to give the Templars their full title, was founded in 1118 to protect pilgrims travelling to the Holy Places in Jerusalem. When the Crusaders were finally driven from Palestine, the order continued to flourish in Europe until 1307, when, for purely political reasons, it was violently suppressed and dissolved by the Pope in 1312. Its Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, was burned at the stake, in 1314 on trumped up charges of sorcery and blasphemy. One Masonic myth has it that those Templars who survived the purge are supposed to have fled to Scotland, where they avoided persecution by infiltrating court circles and perpetuated their Order in secret until it eventually resurfaced as Freemasonry Thus, it is claimed, the ?secrets? of the Templars became the ?secrets? of Freemasonry. In fact the Papal Bull condemn

There are many thoughts when it comes to determining just what the Freemasons is all about and even on how to become one. They are well known for their secrecy and this in a sense makes some individuals very uncomfortable. Some say you can only become a member by being invited while others stipulate that you must have a family member that is a Freemason before you yourself can become one.

It is the policy of the Freemasons not to recruit therefore they will never ask anyone to joint their organization. An interested party must approach them. Becoming a Mason is not an unrecognizable goal but there is certain criteria that you must meet before you will even be considered.

It is an absolute must that you believe in God, whereas many masons will not refer to him as God but will use the term you must believe in a Supreme Being. In the majority of countries, the age requirement is twenty-one but if one happens to be the son of Freemason then the age requirement is reduced to eighteen.

Another criterion is that you must be a person of good standing. You will be tested in this area when you go before the Freemasons examining board. They will ask you about your history and about your life in general. Their decisions will be based on your answers. The concept of the Freemasons according to their charter is to make good men better. There are no women allowed in this organization. Once passed your board examination your request to join will be put to a vote. Each member of that particular chapter is given the chance to vote regarding your membership.

If it turns out that, you are not voted in then that doesn’t mean that you can’t apply again but there is a waiting period. If on the other hand you are accepted then you are in for an experience. You will find that they have rituals that are full of metaphors and allegory. This is there way of teaching their lessons.

It’s not suggested that you try to join the Freemasons just out of curiosity. If these are your reasons most likely, they will be detected at the board examination and you will fail anyway. Try to find out as much as possible about them before applying. Perhaps you know of a Mason that will point you in the right direction.

One interesting point you are going to discover when you start your research is that there is much conflicting information. It has been said that is because the Freemasons are such a secretive society that nobody is allowed to talk about the inner workings of it. If this is the case then how can one really discern what they are all about and make an informed decision as to whether to apply for membership.

In addition, it would seem that there are different orders of Freemasons. If you have one in particular that you want to join then perhaps you need to find out if they are in fact a full Freemason organization or just an offshoot.
