SR - Quoting Occult
Theocracy by Edith Miller
“Gnosticism, as the Mother of Freemasonry, has imposed its mark in the very centre of the chief symbol of this association. The most conspicuous emblem which one notices on entering a Masonic temple, the one which figures on the seals, on the rituals, everywhere in fact, appears in the middle of the interlaced square and compass, it is the five pointed star framing the letter G.”
Different explanations of this letter G are given to the initiates as they rise up from the lower levels. In the lower grades, one is it signifies Geometry, then God, then Great Architect of the Universe
Quoting from the New World Order by William Still
SR “To the brothers frequenting the lodges admitting women as members, it is revealed that the mystic letter means Generation Finally, to those found worthy to penetrate into the sanctuary of Knights Kadosch, the enigmatic letter becomes the initial of the doctrine of the perfect initiates which is Gnosticism. It is Gnosticism which is the real meaning of the G in the flamboyant star, for, after the grade of Kadosch the Freemasons dedicate themselves to the glorification of Gnosticism (or anti- Christianity) which is defined by Albert Pike as "the soul and marrow of Freemasonry.63

Gnosticism
is both a philosophical and religious movement, which started in pre-Christian
times. The term is derived from the Greek word gnosis which means "knowledge".
“Gnostics
claimed to have secret knowledge about God, humanity and the rest of the
universe of which the general population was unaware. It became one of the three
main belief systems within 1st century. Christianity, and was noted for its:
novel beliefs about Gods, the Bible and the world which differed from those of
other Christian groups tolerance of different religious beliefs within and
outside of Gnosticism
Heresy
hunters from mainline Christianity essentially wiped out the movement and its
literature by the end of the 5th century CE. Its beliefs are currently
experiencing a rebirth throughout the world. “
Gnosticism
consisted of many syncretistic belief systems which combined elements taken from
Asian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek and Syrian pagan religions, from astrology,
and from Judaism and Christianity.
By
the second century CE, many very different Christian-Gnostic sects had formed
within the Roman Empire at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. Some Gnostics
worked within Jewish Christian and mainline Christian groups, and
in
1945, Mohammed Ali es_Samman, a camel driver from El Qasr in Egypt, went with
his brother to a cliff near Nag Hummadi, a village in Northern Egypt. They were
digging for nitrate-rich earth that they could use for fertilizer. …It turns
out that their second guess was closer to the truth: the jar contained a library
of Gnostic material of unmeasurable value. 13 volumes survive, comprising 51
different works on 1153 pages. 6 were copies of works that were already known; 6
others were duplicated within the library, and 41 were new, previously unknown
works. Included were The Gospel of Thomas,
Gospel of Truth, Treatise on the Resurrection, Gospel of Philip, Wisdom of Jesus
Christ, Revelation of James, Letter of Peter to Philip, On the Origin of the
World and other writings. Of these, the Gospel of Thomas is considered the
most important. It was a collection of the sayings of Jesus which were recorded
very early in the Christian era. A later Gnostic author edited the Gospel. Some
liberal theologians rank it equal in importance to the 4 Gospels of the
Christian Scriptures.
The
Nag Hummadi find revealed that there was a broad range of beliefs among the
various independent Gnostic systems or schools. The However, the following
points are believed to be generally accurate throughout the movement:
SR - Deity: The Supreme
Father God or Supreme God of Truth
is remote from human affairs; he is unknowable and undetectable by human senses.
She/he created a series of supernatural but finite beings called Aeons. One of these was Sophia, a virgin, who in turn gave birth to
an defective, inferior Creator-God, also known as the Demiurge. (Demiurge means "public craftsman" in
Greek.) This lower God created the earth and its life forms. This is the God of
the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament), a deity who was viewed as fundamentally
evil, jealous, rigid, lacking in compassion and prone to genocide. The Demiurge "thinks
that he is supreme. His pride and incompetence have resulted in the sorry state
of the world as we know it, and in the blind and ignorant condition of most of
mankind."
Albert
Pike Morals
& Dogma p. 563-4 gives the same explanation of Demiurge, which is,
consider Yahweh or Jehovah

No
man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of
the Father, he hath declared him KJV
1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.3 All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made. KJV

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom
of the Father, he hath declared him KJV
Moses
and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up 10 and saw
the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of
sapphire, clear as the sky itself. 11 But God did not raise his hand against
these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made. KJV
17:1
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth
them up into an high mountain apart,
And
was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment
was white as the light. KJV
15
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:6 For by
him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible
and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or
powers: all things were created by him, and for him:17 And he is before all
things, and by him all things consist.18 And he is the head of the body, the
church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he
might have the preeminence. KJV
17:1
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth
them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his
face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. KJV
Duality of spirit and
body: Spirit is of divine origin and good; the body is
inherently earthly and evil. Gnostics were hostile to the physical world, to
matter and the human body. But they believed that trapped within some people's
bodies were the sparks of divinity or seeds of light that were supplied to
humanity by Sophia.
Matter is an inert
substance that neither good or evil
19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but
to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man KJV
