Not!!! Not BS!!!
YAH, OK!!
The Knights Templar came into existence during the Crusades at the turn of the last millennium, and it was they who apparently discovered a wealth of information contained in key spots in the environs of Jerusalem. Curiously, a great deal of knowledge may also have derived from Moslem sources, despite the adversarial relationship between the Crusaders and Moslem defenders of the faith and Holy Land.
From the Knights Templar -- beginning during the early days of Catholic Church attacks (e.g. the Encyclical of Condemnation), inquisitions and slaughter (including The Albigensian Crusade) -- the basic structure, knowledge and teachings passed into ultra secret organizations, such as the Priory Notre Dame de Sion, and ultimately, perhaps, Freemasonry. The Priory de Sion has in this century revealed its existence, and Freemasonry is well known throughout the world (although it is likely that 99+% of Freemasons haven’t a clue as to what knowledge is really still secret, and/or the true meaning of most of the rituals they so zealously perform).
In more recent times, we have modern day mystery schools -- whose price of admittance has become Money (as opposed to maturity, understanding, wisdom, or any other attribute of the early mystery school initiates). At the same time, there are groups and individuals delving into Alchemy, Magic, Sacred Geometry, and other curious and bewildering topics. And of course there are no limits on the number of conspiratorial societies -- from the
Illuminati, The Trilateral Commission, The Club of Rome, Skull and Bones, NASA, Barney the Dinosaur and his friends, and so forth.
At the risk of dismissing the relevance of the vast majority of alleged Conspiracies, one must still wonder exactly what information and knowledge is being held in secret. Are these secret societies any more than “networking communities” which rely on who one knows instead of what one knows? It seems likely that there exists some secret wisdom, but the number of insiders who know what it is may be a very small number indeed.
The good news is that such information has become increasingly available outside such secret societies. This has been due in large part to the discovery and decipherment of ancient writings. These writings includes such things as The Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Dead Sea Scrolls and Dag Hamaraji scrolls. In addition, much of the more esoteric wisdom in the form of Ha Qabala, Tarot, and other books have been handed down through the ages and outside the confines of secret societies. There is additional evidence that much the information is being purposefully disseminated, as if a decision as been made to bring a much larger segment of the population into the fold of understanding.
Conversely, there also appear to be concerted efforts to avoid disclosure of the true history of the world. The most notable example involves a decision on the part of the Supreme Court of Israel to award to a handful of alleged experts the sole right to decipher and disseminate the vast bulk of the Dead Sea Scrolls -- a decision which appears to be motivated as a means of preventing any challenges to the current religious hierarchies on the basis of what the Scrolls say actually happened. Such historical dishonesty and fear-based skullduggery is an unfortunate state of affairs, but such resistance to truth is likely futile and doomed to failure. Truth has a way of inevitably rising to the surface.
