Theos-Talk Archives (November 1997 Message tt00399)

In Mabel Collins novel Flita, True Story of a Black Enchantress, she
depicts how an adept has the World Chessboard in front of him in a secret
place, and lets the pieces play, and how he controls the Karma of a
continent upon one very simple board.

Thanks to the archives of the British Museum we have evidence that Pike, a
leading Mason
who knew H.P.B. before the start of the T.S. and was at one time a member,
was an occultist of this mould.

His doctrine is set forth in his letter to his Grand Masters of the
Palladian Councils:
"That which we say to the crowd is 'we worship God'. But it is the God that
one worships without superstition. The religion should be, by all us
initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian
doctrine... Yes! Lucifer is god. And Unfortunately Adonay ( the name given
by Luciferians to the God we worship) is God also.... for the absolute can
only exist as two Gods. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy: and the
true, and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal
of Adonay: but Lucifer. God of Light, and God of Good, is struggling for
humanity against Adonay the God of Darkness an Evil."

Quoted in the "The Dark Gods" Roberts and Gilbertson, 1980

That Pike and other Mason/Occultists earlier sought to affect politics,
effect wars and revolutions is outlined in Commander William Carr's (1858-
1959) book Pawns in the Game . .

Masons of course, try to make this all part of Leo Taxil's work. But they
do not enter into the British archive letters of Pike or Mazzini his
Italian Masonic co-conspiritor. Nor do they look at the picture in wider
detail.
