Whatever little we know of the Masons we do know that they were the natural inheritors of what i have described as the Bronze Age Mathematica which informed builders into trhe middle ages and even more recently.
A potentially large body of geometric knowledge and even doctrine first informed Greek mathematical thinking but was then naturally superseded by Greek advances and Euclid in particular. All this likely left a remnant of doctrine lingering in the hands of master builders.
At the same time these builders also worked to embed spiritual and spiritual truths into their masterworks. These we have often identified. It is worthy that the twin tower conceptualization fully actuated consists of one robust pillar representing the information dense spirit body while the second plainer pillar represents the physical component associated with that spirit body. That we can make that association and have it confirmed in the literature is noteworthy. That is also a sufficient secret to produce an initiate..

Discover The Ancient Message The Freemasons Transmitted To Posterity Through The"Twin Towers" Of Gothic Cathedrals
http://www.deepertruth.com/journal/article-1.html
When operative Freemasons built Europe’s Gothic cathedrals in the Middle ages, they did something seditious in the process:
They rebelliously encoded a blasphemous"Secret" into the architecture.For centuries their heretical work went unrecognized.
But when high-level Church authorities found out, all hell broke loose.
The Church demanded the Order’s swift and immediate destruction:
“The purpose and aim of the Masonic sect having been discovered from plain evidence...is easy to understand...to try to revive, after eighteen centuries, the manners and institutions of paganism……we intend to turn our attention to the Masonic society… to illustrate more and more this wicked force and stop the spread of this contagious disease…" |
—Pope Leo XIII |
By that time, however, the damage was done, the Secret of the Freemasons wasWritten In Stone.
This Secret is still visible today in the repeating"Cathedral Code" blueprint shown here:

You’re about to discover the foundation of this Secret by uncovering a key piece of the architectural"Cathedral Code"—the meaning behind the two cathedral spires, those tall Twin Towers that grace the West face.
Look again at the three cathedrals above. Clearly they all share the same common blueprint (see right). You don’t realize it, but this blueprint conveys a lost ancient teaching—a powerful"Sacred Science." Neither the blueprint nor the Sacred Science is known to scholars, who credit a"Secret Society," the"Freemasons," with building the Gothic cathedrals. Why are they called a"Secret" society? Because the Freemasons have for centuries been believed by many to be in possession of a"Great Secret" inherited from Antiquity. |
“I… promise and swear…that I will keep and conceal, and never reveal any of the secrets…"
—Masonic Initiation Ceremony |
Today, the Great Secret of the Freemasons has become lost.
—This according to most of the 3 million Masons who still meet in organized lodges worldwide.
“Not only are the origins of Freemasonry no longer known, but the ‘true secrets’ of the order are admitted to have been lost, with ‘substituted secrets’ being used in their place in Masonic ceremony….’"
—The Hiram Key, Freemasons Christopher Knight, Robert Lomas |
In fact, it appears true. The Freemasons seem to have lost their secret in the early 1800s, an era scholars say was rife with internal conflict.
Many books have since been published promising to reveal the"The Lost Secret of the Freemasons."
All have very seriously fallen short.
However, the revelations you are about to discover here are vastly different.
This material is original and exciting because it’s based on using a special"roadmap" or guide.
That guide is the mysterious Cathedral Code, the repeating architectural pattern I’ve alluded to above, which appears in dozens of the world’s most famous Gothic Cathedrals.
The Cathedral Code is Written In Stone and thus 100% authentic—unable to be tarnished by rumor or rhetoric, and untouched by historical revisionists and less-than-capable historians.
We can begin to decipher the Cathedral Code by looking at an important Masonic document called a"Tracing Board".
As you are about to see, a mysterious centuries-old Masonic document called a"Tracing Board" actually forms the blueprint of the Gothic cathedral facade (though scholars and historians haven’t yet realized it).
A copy of the Tracing Board exists in Masonic lodges worldwide:
Masonic Tracing Board |
It doesn’t look much like a blueprint, does it?
—But that’s exactly what this Tracing Board is.
And not just any blueprint.
The Tracing Board is a Gothic cathedral blueprint—the blueprint behind the Cathedral Code.
First, notice the Three Steps leading up to the checkerboard floor.
The same pattern graces Gothic cathedrals.
Now, look at the Twin Pillars. Do they look familiar?
These are the cathedral’s Twin Towers!
Tracing Board | Notre Dame |
A century ago author and Freemason Walter L. Wilmshurst (1867 – 1939), one of very few modern-day Masons who understood Masonry profoundly, explained:
What exactly do the Twin Pillars on the Tracing Board signify?
They apparently signify something tremendously important, since the operative cathedral-building Masons went to great lengths to memorialize them into cathedral architecture for posterity.
Masons call the Twin Pillars on the Tracing Board"Jachin" and"Boaz."
Masons call the Twin Pillars on the Tracing Board"Jachin" and"Boaz."
They are told the Twin Pillars once decorated the front porch of King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem:
While this story may be true, my research shows that the symbolism behind the pillars actually predates Solomon, the Jews, and even the Old Testament books by thousands of years.
What’s the real history then?
The answer is that the Twin Pillars form the foundation of an ancient Sacred Science once known worldwide.

They enshrine a very mysterious "secret of the number two" you might say.
Look again at the Tracing Board.
Note how:
Look again at the Tracing Board.
Note how:
- the right-hand Pillar is capped by the Sun
- the left-hand Pillar is capped by the Moon
This duality of the Sun/Moon tells us something critically important.
The world’s first cultures all perceived the Sun and Moon as"perfect opposites" or perfect"pairs of opposites."
Indeed, mother Nature has placed the Sun & Moon at odds and on opposite sides of the polarity spectrum:
Just think...
The Sun stands for DAY.
The Moon means NIGHT.
During the Day it’s HOT and filled with LIGHT.
During the Night it’s COLD and filled with DARKNESS.
Note the"naturally occurring pairs of opposites" here.

Note the"naturally occurring pairs of opposites" here.
Now, don’t just continue reading, stop and really think about this for a second.
By this chain of associations…SUN/MOON, DAY/NIGHT, HOT/COLD, LIGHT/DARK…the Sun and theMoon engender and denote all the"pairs of opposites" in the visible universe:
SUN / DAY | MOON / NIGHT |
SUN rules the Day | MOON rules theNight |
DAY brings Light | NIGHT brings Dark |
LIGHT brings Hot | DARK brings Cold |
HOT means Life | COLD means Death |
LIFE is Good | DEATH is Evil |
This"pairs of opposites" wisdom forms the"lost key" to all the Mystery schools in history (Perennial Philosophy, Hermetic Teachings, Philosopher’s Stone, Alchemy, and so on.)
Wait, there’s more…
Both Sun and Moon shine for average 12 of 24 hours daily.
That’s exactly half each—more evidence of their equal and opposing nature.
Here’s something even more powerful—so powerful it’s frightening…
When seen from earth, the Sun and Moon appear identically-sized in our sky—as if perfect opposites!
That’s right! The sun is bigger, but the moon closer, so they appear parallel!
Wilmshurst said that the Twin Pillars on the Tracing Board, which are capped by the Sun and Moon:
“…stand for what is known…as the"pairs of opposites." Everything in nature is dual and can only be known in contrast with its opposite…" iii |
In The Secret Teachings of All Ages, Freemason Manly Hall (1901 - 1990) explained:
“Jachin--the white pillar of light…Boaz--the shadowy pillar of darkness. …These two pillars respectively connote also the active and the passive…the sun and the moon…good and bad, light and darkness." iv
|
As author Warren Kenton tells us, the twin columns of France’s Chartres Cathedral are capped with iron plates of the sun and moon.
“Erected by the masons…the west front of each church had two towers representing the twin columns…the masculine and feminine aspects, the active and passive forces, flowing down from Heaven. Called, in Chartres Cathedral, the sun and moon towers…" v
|
Note how Kenton here mentions the"masculine and feminine aspects."
That’s because man and woman also fall into this"pairs of opposites" category.
In the early 20th century, genius architect Claude Bragdon wrote:
“…man, like the sun, is lord of day; he is like fire, a devastating force; woman is subject to the lunar rhythm; like water, she is soft, sinuous, fecund…
The Masonic guilds of the Middle Ages were custodians of the esoteric… The north or right-hand tower ("the man's side") was called the sacred male pillar, Jachin; and the south, or left-hand tower ("the woman's side"), the sacred female pillar, Boaz…" vi |
Looking at the Grand Master Certificate of the"heretic" Giordano Bruno below, we see a"male" pillar crowned by the Sun on the right side and a"female" pillar crowned by the moon on the left:
So, what does this ancient wisdom mean to you (and me)?
Actually, it’s all about you (and me)!
You see, like the world we live in, Man too is formed by opposites—you, me, all of us.
More specifically, Man’s physical body is formed by equal and opposing forces.
“As above, so below," says the famous Emerald Tablet.
Since we live inside the universe, not apart from it, all of us down here are composed of the same"pairs of opposites" as everything up there.
Mackey tells us in An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry:
“Man has been called the microcosm, or little world, in contradistinction to the macrocosm, or great world…by reason of a supposed correspondence between the different parts and qualities of his nature and those of the universe." vii

Now, for the Ancients, this wisdom explains the human body’s bilaterally symmetrical appearance—a right-side half and a left-side half
Our right-side is male and good, our left-side female and evil:
No human is completely one or the other, despite his/her gender. We all possess both masculine and feminine characteristics.
“Though essentially a unit, there is a well marked division into right and left…two arms, two legs, two ears, two eyes…Moreover, the terms of such pairs are masculine and feminine with respect to each other, one being active and the other passive." viii |
In his 1909 The Pre-eminence of the Right Hand, widely cited by scholars, French sociologist Robert Hertz explained:
"The axis which divides the world into two halves, one radiant and the other dark, also cuts through the human body and divides it between the empire of light and darkness." |
Manly Hall wrote:
“In ancient times men fought with their right arms and defended with their left arms…
…the right side of the body was considered masculine and the left side feminine." ix |
The following portrait appeared in an esoteric manuscript traced back to the 1400s, origin unknown.
It’s a two-headed human with a male on the right holding the sun and a female on the left holding the moon:
Esoteric Human Portrait (1400s) (This is YOU—Half Male, Half Female) |
Do you recognize the person here?
You should. This is an esoteric portrait of you!
The famous magician Harry Houdini—who was a dedicated Freemason—says in The Metaphysical Magazine:
“…the Sun represents the right half of the body and the Moon the left half…" x
|
You, me, all of us are formed of the"pairs of opposites," and it infiltrates every aspect of our lives.
In a sense, this explains the"devil" on our left and"angel" on our right shoulders:
We are demons and deities, sinners and saints, moons and suns, all wrapped in one human package.
“Life is a mingled yarn," wrote Shakespeare,"good and evil together…"
Now, once you realize this Great Wisdom…
Once you perceive the duality of the Universe and of your own body…
Once you understand how to interpret this wisdom correctly…
Everything changes for you!
You can use this wisdom like a tool, and it can help you in ways you never imagined…ways that can empower you to accomplish extraordinary things…
Let me explain…
