Are you in or Out? The O12 Codex. (Page 7 of 8)

A series of unfortunate events is on hold... untill then, a little more on symbolism.

All Masonic lodges have these two pillars at some location in their architecture. In the earliest Lodges, they were said to represent far more ancient pillars, supposedly erected by “the children of Lamech.�  On those ancient pillars -- one of brick, one of stone -- were said to be engraved all the then known sciences to preserve them from destruction “by fire or inundation."  As such, they symbolized the esoteric importance of the knowledge of the builder's (mason’s) art, to be guarded and preserved by future faithful craftsmen. Simply put, according to Masonic legend, “the children of Lamech"  were the inhabitants of Atlantis. This information, passed down from that prior highly advanced civilization, is supposed to form the basis of the Masonic secrets “from the ancient times."

Hundreds of years later, shortly before the American Revolution, these original representations of “ancient, preserved knowledge" were replaced in Masonic lodges with two brass pillars, representing two similar pillars originally erected at the entrance to King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem -- the Pillars of Jachin and Boaz. The new Masonic pillars took on the symbolic attributes of “establishment"  and “strength,"  cleverly concealing their continuing representation of the great catastrophe which had destroyed a previous epoch of “high civilization,"  beneath additional layers of almost impenetrable (for most non-members) new symbolic interpretation.

These same two pillars also make their appearance in non-Masonic religious works, like the Bible.

 
“And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the
right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left
pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz. (1 Kings 7:21)

“And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and
the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin,
and the name of that on the left Boaz. (2 Chronicles 3:17)"

As the root source of the deepest Masonic secrets –- the literal “end of days,"  and the Masonic role in the subsequent “preservation and carefully timed re-dissemination of the sacred knowledge of Mankind"  -- these twin pillars, “Jachin"  and “Boaz",  represent the most sacred objects in contemporary Templar/Masonic rituals. Because of this, their symbolic incorporation into the towering 110-story twin World Trade Center Towers made those “pillars"   -- not the New York Stock Exchange -- the prime targets of the Islmailis “Assassins"  still waging their millennia-long “holy war"  ….

If we could tie the actual architects of the WTC towers directly to Freemasonry, we would have strong support for this aspect of our theory. To this point however, we have not been able to do so. We do, however, have some fascinating circumstantial evidence  -– both from the architecture of the Trade Towers themselves … and from their world-class architect, Minoru Yamasaki.

“There are a few very influential architects who sincerely believe that all buildings must be 'strong'. The word 'strong' in this context seems to connote 'powerful' – that is, each building should be a monument to the virility of our society. These architects look with derision upon attempts to build a friendly, more gentle kind of building. The basis for their belief is that our culture is derived primarily from Europe, and that most of the important traditional examples of European architecture are monumental, reflecting the need of the state, church, or the feudal families – the primary patrons of these buildings – to awe and impress the masses. This is incongruous today. Although it is inevitable for architects who admire these great monumental buildings of Europe to strive for the quality most evident in them – grandeur, the elements of mysticism and power, basic to cathedrals and palaces, are also incongruous today, because the buildings we build for our times are for a totally different purpose."

--  Minoru Yamasaki, in Paul Heyer, Architects on Architecture: New Directions in America, p186.

Yamasaki’s discussion of incorporating qualities of “grandeur"  … “mysticism"  … “power,"  as in the great cathedrals, into contemporary architecture is provocative.  And his specific reiteration of the term “strong,"  remarkably echoes the very meaning of one of the pillars of Solomon’s Temple  -– “Boaz"  … “strength."   Even more intriguing, in the Temple “Boaz"  was the left hand (northern) pillar; in the September 11th attack, Flight 11 hit the northern Tower first -– thereby attacking the “strength of America"  first …

However, without an internal memo from Yamasaki’s architectural firm directly admitting this intended symbolism in the choice of “two twin towers,"  we readily admit that some will not see this crucial connection to the events of September 11th. So, how about some direct architectural evidence?

Yamasaki, again the chief architect of the Towers, once described his search for architectural inspiration thus:

 
“… I decided that I wanted to go back and find out what happened in the older buildings, you see. And once I got started on this idea of looking at older buildings to try to gain from them the qualities that we might instill in our architecture then I got very excited, you see. And so I started with the cathedrals …"

In a direct comparison, the Gothic cathedral-like architecture Yamasaki designed into the World Trade Towers becomes startling and unmistakable in hindsight.  The question is: was he trying to communicate something deeper than a mere physical resemblance …?

Does anyone have a comment on what 11:11 means to them?

I have heard of 11 as a number for initiation and 33 as a number for completion.

I don't know what 11:11 means.  Is it related to initiation?

where do you get the time? Well done. Please see if there is a thread to the suicide/murder of Hunter Thompson, who was working on a 911 story.  Ta

Yes, I see what you are saying there and I think there is something to it.  Cheney referred to the "Katrina exercise".

On the other hand, a person could say that military-type people will think in military terms and use military words - even if they don't seem to be warranted.

In terms of "slips of tongue", I particularly remember the one where Rumsfeld referred to "the plane that was shot down over Pennsylvania."

Interesting, I saw Gordon Brown (British chancellor) refer to the Katrina Operation, uum, err hurricane on UK News.

We may not be able to determine if weather modification had anything to do with Katrina or Rita, but the dismal response by govt agencies was definitely intentional.

Ok guys here my take....... They flew at half mast for 9 days.....- ok 9+11 is 18 and 9 is half of 18.... Lol u get it?
