#901- Mozarts Freemasonic Symphony | The Magic Flute

Oh bed of the aar, and welcome to the show. This is the Cult of Conspiracy. And my name is Jonathan. I'm Jacob, Jacob taking away my good sir brother.

You know that I have a very eclectic musical taste, right, if you were to hit shuffle on my phone.

I said this a million times, but it's very true.

Anything from death metal to Mozart to Frank Sinatra to old country because new country is trash and anything in between, it's probably gonna play. There's probably gonna be some gangster rap. There's probably gonna be some trap music. That's it's all over the place.

Right.

We've gone on car riots, We've gone on road trips, and you look at me like I'm a fucking psychopath. How my musical taste will shift song to song to song Like there's no there's no vibe that I'm ever on.

I'm all over the place.

Bro That Irish folk music just hits different on a road trip, yo, it does.

Though Irish drinking music goes hard pretty much twenty four to seven, you know. But so I am actually a pretty prolific fan of classical music of opera, right. I love Bach, I love Mozart, I love these old composers that were musical geniuses.

Of their day and age.

Right, and Mozart is a particularly interesting case study in and of himself. Right, take all the other things you hear about him. Yes, he was the absolute musical prodigy. Yes, he was composing before I think it was like before he hit puberty, he had already written his first whole composition. He could pretty much play any instrument after watching it be played for like thirty seconds, then he could jump on it and play it like give a whole masterclass

Right, what is going on today? That is the second time that you brought up something that I was just recently like looking into. Well, I mean you mentioned something earlier that we'll talk about later, and that was kind of a weird coincidence, and then you mentioned like classical music, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, that kind of shit. I just saw a video last night. I got really fucking baked, right, and you know my nightly ritual. I saw this video and this guy was like, look,

I fully agree with that.

I know Beethoven's Seventh Symphony very well and I fucking love it.

Right.

I think Beethoven was a lot better before he went to death. Don't get me wrong with the fact that he was still able to compose masterpieces that we still listen to today after he went in death, just off of the vibrations that he could feel in his chest, and he would know how that music would resonate regard like that's That's what I'm saying. There is a level of not even intellect, there's intuition, there is, there is real God given talent beyond the scope of something that

It's the internal intelligence that is within all of us. How does does a deaf person hear in their dreams? You know, does a deaf person hear their thoughts? I would imagine they do, right, And it's that kind of you know, sixth sense or whatever it is that probably allowed him to compose music whenever he was deaf.

Right, And we've said this a million times and has been confirmed by all metrics.

Existence is nothing.

More than vibrations and frequencies, right, And I'm not going on some spiritual woo woo talk on that. That's just the fact of the matter atoms vibrating or what make up the entirety of the matter around us. Whether it's the air you're breathing, or whether it's the vape in your hand, or your phone or your heart beating whatever, it's all a series of atoms that are vibrating at certain rates and certain frequencies to make up physical matter of solid, liquid, gas, plasma.

And that's the realm that we live in. So to say that music which is literally vibrations in motion that can make you feel a type of way. And I know that depends on the person. There are some people that will listen to opera music and be like, oh, this is garbage, blah blah blah.

But then there's other people that an opera will literally bring them to tears, right, and it is everything in between.

Everybody has felt something from a song in their lives. It doesn't matter if it's classical whatever. I mean. I I know grown men that cry like babies listening to country music. You know, it's like, and not not to make fun of anybody, I mean, it's just something that is happening to your body that's taken you to a place in your mind that you know it maybe brings up a past memory or that time you heard that song in that moment that you wish you had back kind of thing.

Oh bro, I still can't listen to Landslide by Stevie Nicks without crying still to this day. That's that I only have like three songs that like instantaneously I will tear up.

Landslide is one of them.

D dude, I'm that same way with a Pearl jam last kiss.

Yup, I get it?

Where oh where came up?

Bababy.

I've never even had somebody like, I'm not even gonna put that out in the universe, but yeah, it's a yeah, there's some music just does it to you.

So with that being said, this morning, as I was contemplating the things I wanted to get researched in on right, I was walking through Barnes and Nobles, just kind of mine in my business. I'm perusing there's some some halloween books out in the kids section. I thought, maybe I can get my kids a cute little halloween book, you know, one of the little uh you're my most favoritest ghosty or something, these little cute little books. And I look over in another section and I see this book called

What is it? So I did a little bit of research into it.

The Magic Flute is actually a story that was posed by Wolfgang Amadeus.

Mozart in the late seventeen hundreds.

Right, it is an opera, and it is a very famous story that has been told over and over and over again.

And I thought that was interesting. Cool. I guess they made it into a children's book.

Some of the themes are a little bit on the fantastical side of things, and it would probably make a pretty solid children's book. Then I saw this little excerpt that said that there was a lot of controversy surrounding this particular composition, And then I found myself on a deep dive to show that this entire play, this entire opera, was an homage to the initiation practices of Freemasons.

Have you ever heard of such things, Jonathan?

I have never, But I'm I can't say that I'm too surprised because they get down with some weird shit they do.

Indeed, so buckle up, everybody, let's get into it here. I got a couple of videos that are gonna play very short, very very short videos. Got some articles are going to read that are going to talk about Mozart's background, where the Freemasons do tie into this play opera rather, how many operas are masonically based what do the Masons feel about music in itself right? Or is it just us as a series of vibrations to be used during

Going to get into all of it.

Some things that you should probably see for yourself would be the videos talking about the magic flutes, if you would like to see these rather than just hear the talks about them.

Jonathan, Where can they go?

Patreon dot com, slash Cultive Conspiracy Podcast. It's the best way to be able to support us over there, and we appreciate all the good cult members who have done so. If you come over there, you'll be able to have access to every single video that we put up, along with being able to slide into our dms. Maybe you have a show suggestion or something like that. The one of the main reasons why most people go over to Patreon is because it is completely so Yeah, come check

Know, fucking right, man, It's always a good time. Come check us out on the live every Tuesday night. And like you said, that's the only place to see these videos. You might catch a clip on the youtubess or on the social medias or something. We have clips that we have released to the public. This is the only spot to see the entire video. It's worth your time. It's worth your five dollars, I can promise you that.

Yeah, check us out. Yeah. And also before we get into this video, I just want to throw this out there. And I don't know, maybe I was just real late to the party, but I recently, well not recently, I just kind of remembered that I learned it not that long ago. But the term universe literally means one song. Did you know that? I mean universe like one verse verse, so,

Very very interesting, Okay.

Pretty cool.

I love it. I love that etymological breakdown of it.

Yeah yeah, all right, real quick, this is a three minute overall synopsis of Mozart's Magic Flute for anybody who has never seen the opera. There's a few key songs within it that are very iconic that I promise you have heard at some point in your life, just because you live in modern society. Right, there's a few, a few songs, right, they have made their way into very popular movies, very popular.

Cartoons because they are so iconic.

So with that being said, here is the overarching plot to Mozarts the Magic Flute.

Let's Go the Magic Flute is a fairy tale with themes of love and good versus evil. The opera is divided into two acts. In Act one, Tomino, a prince, is alone in the woods fleeing from a deadly serpent. He faints but is saved by three ladies who are the attendants of the Queen of the Knight. Tomino wakes up and here's someone coming. It's Popagano, a bird catcher. Tomino assumes that it was Popagano who saved him, and

All right.

So there was a few of those musical notes that you probably have recognized at some point in time, because it's just very iconic.

I couldn't help but think of Mario and Luigi trying to go save Peach from Bowser that whole time.

It's very possible that that was a little bit of the inspiration. I don't know that for a fact, but that also would check out. Now, I do want to make mention of something, right, we have a Queen of the Night figure who presents herself as the good guy whose daughter was kidnapped by Dister, the evil king of the day. Right, he's like a son king and she's a Queen of the Knight. Real quick, before we go any further, are we seeing a little bit of dichotomy, right?

The daytime being the nighttime being all these things.

Now we have Zoraster, who is very very close to Zorasthustra, which was a Zoroastrian guy or deity prophet for lack of better words, but he represents the East right and possibly Eastern philosophies.

The Queen of the Nights.

We're gonna talk about who she represents here in a little bit, but my point is, you also notice there was a lot of symbolisms of threes, right, three women that saved him, three spirits that kept guiding him. These types of things, this trial that took place, all of these things are gonna come a little more into.

Focus as we get through this episode.

It's very, very cult like for sure, nothing wrong with that. It's just symbolism, is really what it is.

But to the people that would not know any different if I never told you any of the things that just pointed out, that seems like a very good story and opera. There were some themes that were being presented, but nothing outside of the realm of what you might call, you know, fantasy.

It's a story with multiple levels. A little kid can can you know, see that story and take it at face value whatever is in front of the kid. And the older you get, the more dare I say, initiated you become, and you know, more enlightened you are. You can see the forest through the trees.

Indeed, indeed, so real quick, we're just gonna look at the brief overview on the wiki about The Magic Flute. The Magic Flute is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amades Mozart to a German libretto by Emmanuel Schitznader, probably mispronouncing that it is a singspiel, which is a popular form that includes booth singing and spoken dialogue. It wasn't what we'd say, possibly like what we call today a musical, right, like you see a movie that's a musical.

Veeden in Vienna. Okay, so this all took place in Austria.

This is also very very important the location that this took place, because at the time when this was going down, Austria was being ran by the Holy Roman Impress, which we'll get to in a bit, who was not very fond of Freemasons or Protestants or Jews, even though her husband was Francis the First of Austria, was a zealous free She like hated it for all these reasons. We will talk about it later, but we have to keep in mind Mozart didn't just do things just to do them.

He did things with a purpose.

Now, whether that purpose was to entertain that is still a purpose, right.

If it was to convey a message, okay.

Fine, if it was to be a slight at the royalty in charge at that time, while also acting as a recruiting tool for his Masonic lodge. Because Mozart was in fact a free mason, this was kind of one of those killed two birds of one stone thing. And then he goes ahead and puts down one of the most iconic plays operas ever composed.

Yeah, yeah, and honestly he I mean, he was a Freemason, so he probably uh conducted the music as part of some kind of ritual for freemasonry.

Right.

We will get into that as well, absolutely, because freemasonry has what they call working tools, right, and they're things that you've seen before. The square, the plum, the compass, the twenty four inch ruler which is supposed to be sectioned off into three equal sections for harmony, the trowel, the gavel. They these are they're working tools right of

Yeah, symbols that were always all around them and they attached meaning to them, because you know, it's like, you're not just gonna look at a you know, as you said that, what was it a twenty four inch ruler or something like that, which, by the way, I just heard something about the number eight as far as symbology goes. So the number eight, a lot of people just look at it as if it's like only stands for infinity.

I like it.

I think that that's also the intention here, and I've only heard it, and you might be completely correct as far as like how the eight like you can see right here on the eighteen fifteen, the little circle over the big circle right.

I could see where you're going with that.

The way I heard it broke down was that eight three times, and then that's infinity thrice. Right, we're talking about a trifecta or a triune of perfect infinities that you would use for the harmonious balance thereof Now they say, of course, in their esotericism, that this would be like the three head of Father, Son, Holy Spirit, or you know, it depends on which side of masonry you're on, if you're on the Christian esotericism or if you're on the eastern side of it, but.

Either way it goes. That's how I heard it broke down.

It's very possible that there's levels within levels, just in the twenty four inch that could be broken.

Yeah, anyway, that's just my way of looking at it. I have no idea how they look at it fair and it's not even my way. It's just something that I heard that I thought was.

Interesting, no doubt. Okay, So back to it now.

It premiered on the thirtieth of September seventeen ninety one, just two months before Mozart's death.

This was Mozart's last opera.

It was an outstanding success from its first performances, and it remains a staple of the opera repertoire. In the opera, the Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tomino to rescue your daughter from captivity under the High Priest Sirostro.

Now they said Sarastro with a S.

But you could see the connection to Zora and Sora there right, Like, it's not that far of a stretch to say that this may have been a And especially if you see the images of his temple.

Did that door not look very Eastern, very Arabic?

Yeah? Yeah, for sure. I mean you take creative liberties whenever you're making your own story.

For sure. For sure.

I'm just saying he was I think that was also most Art's way of showing the east versus West as far as the philosophical conversation goes.

But I digress.

Smulti dimensional this conversation, dude.

Oh yeah, for sure.

Instead, he learns the high ideals of Sirostro's community and seeks to join it separately. Then, together to Mino and Pamina, undergo severe trials of initiation, which end in triumph when with the queen and her cohorts vanquished, the earthly Pappagino, who accompanies Tomino on his quest, fails the trials completely, but is rewarded anyway with the hand of his ideal female companion. So your boy with the bell has actually failed the test, but he was still rewarded in the

What are your thoughts on this kind of understanding like multi dimensions to one story or to one song, and you know, almost for the initiated to get the entire picture, like what do you think about this? And in general?

So and you know that I'm a Christian, right, I've never been shy about this fact. I think that that plays a lot in to everything. How many times have you heard me say that context is key?

Right?

And I'm not saying that you need to be some sort of an initiate to read the Bible, for instance, at its entirety, but you do have to look at it through a certain scope. If you're reading it like a story, reading it just cover to cover, you're not going to get anything out of it that's really supposed to hit you hard. You do need to know the time,

I think that that is the way that this was.

Done, and there's tons of information like this, Like as far as the Freemasons are concerned, the initiated, basically, they just teach you how to look at things and see what is actually being conveyed. They do that through a series of secrets, right, And that's I get this one hundred percent, But I mean that's the way it is for a lot of things. Huck Finn that book, if you were to read that today, you'll be questioning a

And John?

He could have just called him John, Like he didn't need to keep calling him in word John the entire book.

That was unneeded.

But like you got to understand the time and the place and the audience.

Does that make sense?

Yeah? Yeah? And I just you know, it just reminds me of something that The reason why I asked that is because you always say a quote, and you haven't said it in a while, but there's this quote that

I agree.

And the milk would be the synopsis we just heard, right, the if you were just a person. Oh, Mozart just dropped a new opera, bro, let's go check it out this weekend.

What's up? It's dropping at the theater.

You go and see it, you'll lead there being like, bro, that would tell me that was.

Not a banger of a show. Come on.

Meanwhile, if you were an initiated free Mason and you went and solve this performance, you would be like, wow, he really did encapsulate everything that goes into the initiation practices and rituals of our order.

That was gorgeous.

A literal masterpiece. Yeah, right, and masterpiece.

Then the guy just saw it that didn't know anything would look at you be like, what are you talking about?

Like that?

The story with the witch and the queen and the what are you talking about the initiation.

To your order?

What do you this story? There's a fantasy And they'd be like, m I'll bet you think so. I'll bet you would think so.

That milk tastes good, don't it, Bud? Exactly. So with that being said, let's go to another synopsis. This is from the Ted Talk series where they do give a brief synopfice of the play and then they break down it's more Masonic, an esoteric and occult meaning. Then we're gonna get into even more of a breakdown of how this is an understood fact, not just a hypothetical.

Let's listen.

In a boy named Prince Tomino runs through a dark wood pursued by a dragon. Just as it rears up to devour him, three mysterious ladies appear and slay the dragon with their fierce battle cry. So begins Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Ditzaubaflirta, or The Magic Flute. This fantasy Zinschpiel, a type of folk opera with music and dialogue, premiered in

Doubt and confusion.

So a new quest begins for Tomino and Pamina. They must pass three trials of wisdom, and only then can the day vanquish the Knight. Helped by the flute's magic power, the two youths overcome these trials and the Queen's attempts to sabotage them. They're finally initiated in to the Temple, having restored balance to the kingdom. Many elements in this peculiar fairy tale were inspired by Mozart's involvement in Freemasonry,

Bro.

That is That's That's another way I think of telling the story of the Full's journey if you really think about it, like the Full, you know, he's just this

So I don't know, I'm pretty interested to something here, I really do. I think that there And like they said, there's a lot of stories that have been told of this where it's this person that has to go through these trials, go through these tribulations, and they achieve success on the other side of them, right, And this is a tale as old as time, honestly as far as the magic flute is concerned. You can see now breaking it down in that way, that this was not only

Dude, this is expert level composition like that is so so well thought out that it speaks a story on every level.

Yeah, Just the musical notes themselves tell a story. The story on stage tells a story. The imagery, if you're deaf and you can't even hear what's going on, and you can't even hear the dialogue, just the set in the scenes playing out a certain way tell a story. It's this is what I'm saying. Mozart was literally a genius. Now, granted, he was a bit of a a vagrant, a little bit of a He was into some some things, a little bit of some malarkey. Your boy liked to fuck you,

I think it's more so that like, and I've actually been putting some thought into this too, because my life has been pretty damn hecked over the past couple of years, and I don't know, I just started to think, like, I'm not even saying that I'm anywhere near the enlightened by any means, but I looking at it through that lens.

I think it might be on something there. It's like a ignorance is bliss right.

And you see these people that they're living a simple life and they got their little nine to five, take care of the kids, and they get home from work, they just have their little thing. Maybe they go on like a vacation a year. They're not like out there trying to learn new things. They're not out there trying to break the mold and start something new. They're just

I think you might be.

On to say, but I think most of those most people, not even most of those people, most people in reality don't know that you can. Most times you're the one that's in your own way, like it's life is just going to be life. It's your perspective about how you interpret that life. And so there's things especially involved within you know, the mysteries and the initiatory kind of stuff

Yeah, no, I think you're on a sum here.

And again, of course it depends on the course of you're choosing, right, it depends on There are certain people that are born to a certain class of way wealth that anything they really just want to do. They have the means and they have the funds and it's not a struggle or anything.

They just fucking do it.

Yeah, but the worst thing that's ever happened to you is the worst thing that's ever happened to you, regardless.

Yeah, that's true.

I remember seeing a picture of it was two dogs, right, and they were it looked like they both went through like eight inches of mud and it was like a blonde lab versus the chihuahua. You could see where the level of mud was on both of them. They went through an equal puddle, and it was like, look, just because y'all went through the same struggle doesn't mean it affected you the same way.

But even in that story, the chihuahua could potentially just look at it and like, I don't know, maybe he's like a like a little kid playing in the mud and it's a fun time, and like this this is a journey, and you know that's that whole thing. And the idea is the old quote is is that the the journey is the obstacle, right, and so like if you can kind of transcend that and not wallow in self defeat and say pour me and pity me and

Now I'm with you.

I'm just saying that to your point about how the worst thing that's ever happened to you is the worst.

The worst thing that's ever happened to you.

Whether it's to the world or to the outside looking in, that might be like, brother, that was not that big of a deal, get over it, But to you it might have been the worst thing. Everybody's got their struggles, everybody's got their tribulations, their hurdles and all these things. You're right, it's about how you overcome them or do you let them overtake you.

Oh dude, just imagine, like, you know, an ancient king. Let's just say of like the year five hundred, right, and that ancient king probably you know, was sitting in his palace. He had you know, servants and maids and butlers and cooks and all these different things, right, but he still had to sit in heat all day. He's still never had a cold, you know what I'm saying. He still had to ride on a horse and buggy. He would look at you and be like your complaining,

I agree. I forget what movie I was watching. I think it was the Dracula series that came on Netflix. It was like a four part mini series. It was really dope, by the way, but basically Dracula in his coffin. He wakes up and it's like this year I think it was like the year twenty seventeen or something, and he's in this like shit apartment in England and the girl gets there and she's like, what are you doing here? And he's like, you know what, you must be so wealthy to have all these things.

What kingdom do you resign? Fro him?

She's like this place is a dump, and he's like, I have been alive for thousands of years and if I can get the smartest and wisest kings of all that time to sit in this room, they would never leave this room again.

He was watching a TV.

He was watching a sunrise on the TV, and he could like it was. It was mind blowing air conditioning, running water, a fucking freezer with ice in it. Bro what But yeah, to your point, it's perspective. Yeah, it all ties down to perspective.

And that's what a lot of like the maybe it's freemasonic, you know, whatever kind of accult like nature of a lot of things are just by being able to shift your perspective. That's most of it is about that.

Fair enough. Now, let's talk about perspective right quick. Let's talk about the perspective of the day and age of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Right.

He was living in Austria at this time, and the Impress of Austria was a woman by the name of Maria Teresa. We heard about that in the Ted video there saying that some scholars believe that the Night Queen was supposed to be her. Now that's not a a certified guaranteed thing. However, it is a perspective that I tend to side on as far as it goes. Is that supposed to be Mother Teresa was no, no, no, no, no, mother Teresa was an Indian nun.

Okay was Teresa mother Teresa? Was that her name or is that just like a title thing?

Uh?

No, No, that was her I believe that was her actual birth name. And she became a nun and became instead of just Teresa of uh well, it was the city. It wasn't a capula, that's a Roman city. Uh cattl Calcutta.

That's it.

Instead just being like Teresa of Calcutta, she became mother Teresa of Calcutta.

But anyway, but so, but Teresa is a very old name. That's it's very very old.

Oh my god, her real name. Let me just share this.

This is crazy, all right, old let me uh, let me see what you're working with here.

Look at this.

I pulled something pulled up on my screen.

But her real name was on jez gon Cha Bolgillo.

I don't speak Indian or Indi all empire. Yeah, yeah, all that.

That's crazy. That's why I was wondering because most of those like kings and whatever they were, like, they just take after names of venerated saints or whatever you know.

Right, And for that point, I don't know if like the Empress Maria Theresa. I don't know if that was her birth name or not, but she broke up Freemason lodges by force in Austria in seventeen forty three. So by the time the Magic Flute was composed right in the year seventeen ninety one, she was already well known to knock it down with Freemasons.

Now, while she was hostile.

Towards Freemasons due to her religious convictions, her husband, Francis the First was a zealous Freemason. The lodges in Vienna were largely tolerated due to her forty year reign because of his influence. The seventeen forty three incident is an example of her specific actions against the organization despite her husband's protection. That was when she broke up the lodge one of them anyway. Now, a more long lasting band on Freemasonry and Austria came later in the year seventeen

In this area of the world, Bavaria, So Bavaria.

I'm sorry, but that's also like right there, the Austria situation, all these things, like keep in mind Hitler was from Austria but took over Germany and then that's called Bavaria. It's these are like, it's kind of interchangeable. I know, there's gonna be some history nuts that are going to tell me that, no, Bavaria and Austria are completely separate from it.

Okay, fine, Look.

It's like Rome is not the same Rome as it was in yesteryear.

This is like saying Sicily and Naples, which are on polar opposite ends of the country of Italy, are not equally itally. It's like, yes, there's a very very different culture in both of these places, but they're both in that same neighborhood.

You see what I'm saying, Yeah, under the same imaginary lines.

Yeah, there you go.

So, all that being said, the Illuminati was popping off seventeen seventy six. Masonry had been around for a very long time, so what was her issue with secret groups as a whole?

Right?

Maria Theresa was strongly against free Masonry for a combination of religious, political, and personal reasons, as a devout and pious Roman Catholic. She adhered her church's staunch opposition to the secretive and Enlightenment influenced organizations. Now, she was trained by Jesuit priests, right, they were her teachers growing up. So she had a fondness of the Jesuits. But she had a I don't want to say disdain, but she did not get down with Protestants. She instead of hating them,

The Masons, on the.

Other hand, promoted a form of religious tolerance, which she explicitly rejected and viewed as a danger to state order. Now, the Catholic Church viewed Free Masonry's principles of religious indifference, indifference being like this idea that members from any religion could equally be pleasing to God. They saw this as a form of heresy, right, And we've talked about that with Freemasonry. The G within their compass and square that

So this is just the way it must be.

Meanwhile, the Enlightenment revivalist thing that was going on at this time was kind of throwing a wrench in those gears, and they were getting a lot of the well and well well influenced the well to do the well educated people, specifically men together to discuss opposing ideas, and that's dangerous. Of course, there was also a Prussian rivalry here. Maria Teresa's chief rival was Frederick the Great of Prussia, a

Here, So it makes sense then that Mozart would view her as that evil witch or whatever that came and tried to give him the flute and basically just to become his undoing of sorts, right, you see it?

Right now.

I'm not saying one hundred percent that the Queen of the Knight was supposed to be Queen or Impress Maria Theresa.

I can't say that one hundred percent. But the argument that.

Stands that suggests that that is true, I personally find myself aligning with that.

It checks out, Yeah, it does check out. It's interesting that he would call her a witch too. But I mean, I guess if you're you know, an opposing religion or an opposing spiritual thought or whatever kind of lodge that you're attached to within you know, secret society, and you have essentially a gatekeeper, you know that is saying that you're wrong, and you know, saying nothing but bad things

Would, indeed, especially if they're struggle and strife between the Holy Roman Emperor Francis the First and the Holy Roman Empress of Maria Theresa, which there absolutely was. So Francis was a Freemason who joined a lodge in the Hague. Right because of his influence, Masonic lodges in Vienna were

Right, So I wonder what the symbol like significance of the flute role plays her giving him the flute, Like, I wonder what that means.

So I got a video here in a bit that is going to go a little more in depth with it, and we don't get the entire story of the flute from the two little quick videos that I showed earlier. The flute itself, I should mention it is made so all right, the Freemasons and most esoteric groups, right, it's all about the perfect harmony in the combining of the four elements, right. Yeah, Now they'll have the five element, with the fifth being ether or spirit or whatever the case.

That conversation we can have.

But my point is it's the harmonious balance of these four, right, the mastery of the four, if you will.

The flute was made with fire.

It was also made during a rainstorm with lightning, which is also seen as fire. It was made from wood, which would encompass the earth, and then to give it life you do have to blow into it, which would be the air.

This is so funny that you're bringing this up.

Bro.

Literally, my next episode that I'm shooting on Meta Mysteries is going to be getting into each the depth of each of the four well the fifth, the five main elements. Some people you know like to include the ether. I'm not saying anybody's wrong or right. It's just a way, but yeah, it's interesting. Like if you look into the symbolism of fire, so the and I'm just gonna read this one little part real quick. So the flame isn't a thing. So whenever you see a flame, it's not

But yeah, it's just having this conversation with my sun the other day.

We were talking about the elements, right of just solid liquid gas, and then the fourth one, which is like plasma, which is I guess it could be also kind of put into the realm of like a gel ish, but it's not a physical gel it's like some other thing that there's still they're still currently having trouble like really putting limits on what it is and is not right. And that's fine, it's kind of a relatively new discovery. But he was like, so you could like pick up

It's a force.

It is a transfer of energy, right, And that's essentially what it is. We can harness it, we can control it, we can utilize it, but we can't physically handle it in that way.

So, yes, to your point.

It's very very interesting how all these things tie in, and all these for the backstory of it went into the making of the magic flute itself, and then when he went through the trials of fire and water, he had to use this flute with his air, which was made of wood, to harmoniously balance and get through each of the three initiation steps.

So a literal magic relic. Then at that point there you go a lot like the wand or something like that.

You could definitely make the inference that that was what it was supposed to be, right.

A form of one.

Anyway, I'm not saying it was his magic wand, but at least for the principle of him getting through the initiation which he could not speak through. Yeah, the flute was his voice, if you will, which it's.

Very interesting to look through.

All right, Now back to it, let's talk about Mozart and free masonry. So if you want to jump in here to Mozart's lodges.

Mozart was admitted as an apprentice to the let me take you some off.

I will say, for the last seven years of his life he was a Mason, so it wasn't like he was born into it, but in his mid twenties he absolutely was raised as a brother of.

The Masonic lodge. Also, his father was a Freemason. Should throw that out.

So Mozart was admitted as an apprentice to the Viennese Masonic lodge called zerr Waltzell to get kick hike kite, sure, I don't know which means beneficence on December fourteenth, seventeen eighty four. He was promoted to fellow on January seventh, nineteen eighty or seventeen eighty five, and became a master Mason shortly thereafter. It says in quotes Mozart also attended the meetings of another lodge called True Concord in another language and a record.

Quick, just gonna throw this out.

He went from initiate to master, which is the level three, in the matter of about two months, month and a half.

Well I mean it if you can, you know, understand the information faster than everybody else because you're kind of already putting it within your music, maybe the initiatory process isn't extremely long and treacherous.

There's I know, we have some freemasons that listen to this show and they kind of scoff whenever we get on this topic. But even they will tell you it really depends lodge to lodge. I personally know dudes that it took them a year to go from initiate to master Mason, which is not the thirty third degree, just the initial first three.

That's all we're talking about here.

And then they'll also see guys that will go from a level twelve to a level twenty five in the matter of a weekend because they pay their money, they go through the coursework. And I mean there's certain lodges

So I'm still on that out.

I mean, a more like real world exit would be. So the Steelers drafted a quarterback this past April. Right, he came from Ohio State. His name is Will Howard want a championship. Was really good all throughout last season, right, But but then we decided to sign Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers been in the league twenty something years, you know

Think of it.

Also, in the realm of Lebron James and his kid, right, he is like seen as some sort of NBA royalty. I think that's silly, but whatever, his son, who does not have the same skill set as his father, instantly gets signed on to a big fat contract with the NBA, like fresh out.

He didn't have to.

Go through any of the any of the making his way for himself or anything like that. It was a little bit of nepotism, right, you could see it. But also it was for the status of having both of the james Is on the team, right you could see.

This is what I'm saying.

Sometimes you get people that demenitating on their situation get on the fast track, and some people that have to struggle and claw their way. But either way it goes just want to make a mention, Yeah, within under two months, Mozart went from an initiate to a master mason.

So throwing it out.

Anyway, According to Otto Eric Deutsch. This lodge was the largest and most aristocratic in Vienna, and Mozart, as the best of the music brothers, was welcome in all the lodges. It was headed by the naturalist Ignaz von Born, Mozart's own lodge God what was that again? Beneficence was consolidated with two others in December of seventeen eighty five under the emperor reform of masonry called something which means Masonic

So this Masonic decree that took place was because of the Empress who was trying to break up these lodges.

So she didn't want.

Them spreading out with all these little outposts all over the place, so she wanted some of them broke up. So instead of having three lodges, you now had one massive lodge that basically spoke on behalf of the entirety of the aristocratic class of Vienna.

Checks out. Yeah, So it says based on surviving Masonic documents. Mozart was well regarded by his fellow Masons. Many of his friends were Masons, and during his visit to Vienna in seventeen eighty five, Mozart's father, Leopold, also became a Mason. How about that?

So Mozart became one first and then brought his father along into it.

Now, let's talk a little bit.

Let's get into the thick of it here, the Masonic ideology and Masonic music. Now we do have a couple of articles that are going to go even further in depth on this, but I thought this did a good job of kind of a glossing over for sure.

Mozart's position within the Masonic movement, according to Maynard Solomon Lay, lay with the rationalist Enlightenment inspired membership as opposed to those members oriented toward mysticism and the occult. This rationalist faction is identified by Catherine Thompson as the Illuminati, a Masonically inspired group which was founded by Bavarian professor of canon law Adam Weissopt, who was also a friend of Mozart. Oh shit, I didn't know that, all right.

There is in fact connection between the Freemasons and the Illuminati, and they definitely combined forces later on, but in their inception, believe it or not, Mozart was a really really strange lynch pin between the two and these see, these two groups were seen as opposing forces in this area at this time. Hell the Illuminati was started because your boy Adam Weishaupt wasn't allowed to be a free Mason, so he said, fuck you, I'm gonna start my own group. Meanwhile,

I'm sure there were some notes passed, you know, Oh for sure.

I person of the belief that Mozart attended.

Both the Illuminati and Rationalist Masons espoused the Enlightenment inspired humanist views proposed by the French philosophers Jean Jacques Rousseau and did A.

Row.

For example, they contended that social rank was not coincident with nobility of the spirit, but that people of lowly class could be noble in spirit, just as nobly born could be mean spirited. The view or this view appears in Mozart's operas, for example, The Marriage of Figaro, an opera based on a based on a play by Pierre Baumart Ka Beaumarchie Beaumarche another freemason. The low born Figuo is the hero and the count Alma Alma Viva is the bore.

That's also very crazy for this timeframe to say that people of lowly birth could be noble and could show noble characteristics, and people of the nobility class could be just assholes. That was crazy because if you were born again, the tradition would say that if you were born to a noble class a family, you must have a little something extra in your DNA, otherwise you wouldn't be noble.

It wasn't.

You might also be able to suggest that like this was at least proposed one day a year during Saturnalia.

Well, that was an ancient room Saturnalia, didn't That didn't like make it through the four hundred's ad bro.

No, I'm saying, you know, maybe maybe the some people had a similar idea.

Oh, I see what you're saying. See what you're saying. But towards this time, dude, the Middle Ages. It was very rare.

We see these movies right where you get this, uh, this lowly born peasant who did crazy shit on the battlefield and becomes knighted, right, and then like through time his family can rise through the ranks and become dukes and lords and all of these things.

That was rare.

That that was the exception. That was not something that happened like every battle. There wasn't some dude that got knighted as a result of it. Like, they didn't just like make up new nobility families just to make them up.

So for them to say that, like somebody.

Of low birth could be a noble in his own right was preposterous in the traditional sense of the word. But Mozart and other humanists of the what was considered at that time New Age Enlightenment, super super got down on that vibe and they proposed this, and they showed it. And like he said, even in his plays, even in his operation of figro So.

In other words, they didn't believe in the goyam Royce with you.

Oh, they didn't believe in the uh. They didn't believe in the tradition. Although it's funny that you mentioned that Maria Theresa. Uh, yeah, I think I said that one, right, Maria, Yeah, Mary true.

She had an issue with.

The Jews hardcore, she had an issue with all secret societies. She had issue with the Protestants, but she didn't hate them out right, She just wanted to convert them to Catholicism.

But she had a fucking issue with Judaism for sure.

Well, I mean, to each their own. So the Freemasons used music in their ceremonies uh and adopted Russo humanist views on the meaning of music. The purpose of music and the Masonic ceremonies is to spread good thoughts and unity among the members in quotes, so that they may be, in quotes united in the idea of innocence and joy, wrote Ludwig Friedrich Lenz in a contemporary edition of Masonic Songs.

And there's a little piece of sheet note here that shows the notes of the three knocks as musical notes, if you.

Will, which is actually pretty interesting just as far as symbolism, because I feel like there's always two sides to every story, right, and somebody's always trying to paint somebody else as a bad guy that's playing on the dark side or something like that, and where they enlightened and you're not kind of thing. Everybody has their own view about what that is. Right throughout all.

Of knots, there always will be.

And so if you think about it, like you were supposed to knock at the door three times to try and get admitted in, right, And it's almost like, what is it like vampires? Like they have to knock and you have to invite them in? And I almost wonder if that's like the church's way of calling out the Freemasons or whatever that you have to you have to welcome them in. They can't just step in your door because of their practices. Maybe I don't know, maybe I'm just piecing shit together.

No, No, I think that there's a lot to say about that.

Also, as far as a becoming one, you have to ask three times.

You ever heard the expression I'm here for you to tell me no? Twice?

And yes once that was in Austin Powers remember.

That that was in a lot of things. But that is a Masonic thing, right whenever you uh, this is how it's supposed to go anyway, not one hundred percent. But if you ask a Masonic lodge or a Mason like, hey, I want to be a Mason, they're supposed to tell you no, and then you're supposed.

To ask them.

Maybe in a couple of days, a couple of weeks, or even right after that. No, I want to be a free Mason.

Let me be No. If you ask a third time, they will tell you yes.

It makes sense. I get it.

Um So.

This figure appears in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute, in the overture, suggesting the opening of the Masonic Master Mason's degree. According to Catherine Thompson, there are many other examples of specific musical symbols taken from the Masonic rights that appear

I'm gonna hope that's Foots, But you know what it also is Austria, so that's probably fuck yeah.

Dude, Peter Paul Fox notes that Mozart was a devout Catholic, a religion that threatened Freemasons with excommunication. Mozart was pulled in various directions stylistically and probably personally. There is little

Now that being said, here's a list of Mozart's Masonic compositions. Okay, and I'm not going to read their German words because i don't speak the German. Oh, Helling's band or it's an oh, sacred bond of friendship between true brothers. Another one it's a fragment, but essentially it is a contanta or contata for two tenors, male chorus and orchestra in

I'm not sure what that's for. Song for male choruses.

This one is for the closing of the lodge and intended final chorus and the story and music of his.

Opera The Magic Flute.

So these are all just a brief rundown of compositions from the year seventeen seventy two to seventeen ninety one

And that's all guaranteed.

Here now most reason to believe that it was a Masonic kind of creation.

Oh, it's one hundred percent confirmed. I never knew that. I've heard that little we have heard that so many times. I had no idea that these very notes were dripping in Masonic lore all the way through.

That's interesting as fuck to me.

Oh yeah, dude, And I don't know if whenever your kids were little, did you guys, did you help them watch this show called Little Einstein's.

Oh for sure. They have a lot of Mozart in the.

Dude, I used to love that shit. That was so good. My daughter was addicted to that show.

Yeah, and that's that was back. Have you seen what these kids are watching these days? And I'm not saying like kids are like early teens, I mean like four little kids. It's there is a clear line in the sand that was drawn, I would say sometime in the last ten years where things were like overtly educational and there were some shows out there there were trash. Now you have to go out of your way to try to find educational material.

Yeah, there's a lot of bullshit out there, like Masha and the Bear. Dude, I can't stand in that damn show. There's a bunch of other ones that we always bring up to. But you know, my son, dude, he digs some Bluey. I get down with it. I can watch Bluey all day. There's this YouTube channel called Danny Go. He went to the concert and everything I mean informational, I don't know, entertaining, not not derogatory in any kind of way. It's okay. I think I look at it

But Mozart does, and they've always said Mozart makes baby smart?

Right, Yes?

Is it possible that this is because in his music he was putting in certain notes that he knew would stimulate the mind, would actually get some things firing off on all synapses up there, even for a young mind.

Coco Melon was the one I was thinking of that I wanted to talk to shit on, dude. I that's not allowed in my house. It's just not absolutely not. It's it's terrible for a little kid to watch. But we've talked about that plenty of times.

We have we have.

Now let's go on to another quick little article here. This is the Berliner Philarmonicer, right, and it's talking about composing and networking Mozart in Freemasonry. So again, Mozart being a Freemason is not a debatable conversation.

That's an understood thing.

Him having certain musical numbers that were put in for the principle of spreading free Masonic ideals.

Absolutely, Now that.

Being said, was there a little more going on to Mozart being a Mason rather than him just feeling the call of the brotherhood? Was this possibly because keep in mind he was also not a struggling artist by any means, but he had a propensity to spend a lot of

I feel like you left out a little piece of vital information there. You mentioned about how he liked to party hard. He also liked to fuck. Now, if you like to fuck, then you go to Adam and Eve dot com and you use the promo code Cult. You'll get fifty percent off of your entire order, plus ten free goodies, free shipping, and completely discrete sent right to your door. Everybody likes to dabble into the sexual dark arts. Adam and Eve has all of that. Go and check

No doubt, no doubt.

So let's see if there was maybe some more things afoot with him joining the launch.

In the eighteenth century, Freemasonry combined mysterious rituals with enlightenment ideals. Mozart was a member of this secretive society. His affiliations repeatedly reflected in his works, not only in Die Zaborflot, but also in his incidental music for Thamos calling in Egypt Tin.

The King of Egypt. I think that one's the king of Egypt and this is the magic flute.

But anyway.

Leopold Mozart and his son traveled to Vienna in the summer of seventeen seventy three and visited the famous doctor Franz Anton Mesmer. Oh, that's where mesmerization comes from. Who lived in a villa in a large park. His open house attracted visitors from far and wide. He was a member of the middle class, with vast wealth at his disposal. Contemporaries wandered or wondered how this was possible. Was it

Famous Conigan Egypt ten.

But we do know that soon afterward, soon afterwards, Mozart stated or started to set two choruses from the play to music. It was probably in seventeen seventy two that Mozart, then sixteen years old, wrote his song in praise, Yeah, song in praise of Solomon Saint John's Lodge K one eight for tenor male voice, chorus and keyboard.

Mozart quick sixteen years old, and he's writing a song of praise of the Solomon of Saint John's Lodge, sixteen years old. You're not allowed to be a Freemason at that early age. But there he was being inspired by it.

As the kids would say, he was built different.

Yeah.

So Mozart was not yet a member of any Masonic lodge, and neither was his father. All that has survived of this piece is the melody and the baseline, Oh, sacred bond of friendship TwixT true brothers, akin to highest happiness and Eden's joys, A friend to faith and never more against it, well known to all the world, yet full of mystery. Here we find a feature that was to return in many of the Masonic works that Mozart would go on to write. The chorus has the last word.

Indeed, now let's talk a little bit about it being a useful network for friends of the invitement. The Freemasons, whose heyday was in the eighteenth century, embodied the highest ideals. Although the lodge was a cult like symbolic community, writes the Mozart biographer Eva gesen Bauer, it was, above all a community of like minded men, bent on action, and made up of members of the upper and lower middle

It would only be a man's rule that there would have to be silence. You know, I just want to throw that out there, you know what I mean, Like, I can't imagine too many female lodges that have that rule in there. Y'all talk a lot.

I mean, there are female Masons these days though it's the Order of the Eastern Star, although there is a lot of argument to whether these women will ever get the entire keys of knowledge that the men get. Are they seen as equal sisters or are they seen as Basically, the dudes had to make a group to where their wives are stout giving them shit for going to lodge meetings so much so they finally form their own female groups. They could kind of do their own thing and fuck off.

Oh how about this. The Order of the Eastern Star does not have a former vowel, a formal vow of silence like some religious traditions, but it emphasizes secrecy and discretion regarding its rituals and teachings.

So yeah, like I said, is this just where the Masons sent their wives? Though, y'all have your own hen cackling club. Yeah, you can call it the Eastern Star. Yeah, no doubt. Here, here's some some aprons you can wear. Sure, sure, sure, let us go do our thing like it could very well be.

Yeah, it's like, look, you don't need to shut up, you know, but you gotta keep your secrets. You don't need to be going around and you know, telling your neighbor about what you're getting into in the lodge with no windows, like just not just you know, keep it zipped up for a little while.

Speaking of that, this picture that we are looking at right now is a very famous painting of what is inside the Freemason's Lodge in Vienna at this time.

This is the lodge that Mozart was a part of.

It's pretty sick actually, right.

You see the guy blindfolded right here, he's going through initiation. You have all these guys sitting around it, the floors, the pillars, right, all the iconic things, the three candles, the triangle, they don't show the checkerboard floor here. But I mean, like I said, I don't know if this is an artist rendition or if this was a brother Mace who also painted this themselves. I know, But anyway, let's look into when Mozart joined the brotherhood.

Eleven years after visiting Mesmer's house in Vienna, on December fourteenth, seventeen eighty four, Mozart finally became a freemason. No evidence survives to indicate what may finally have promoted or prompted him to act. Did he feel that he had been misunderstood as an artist? Was he looking for new friends? Was he driven by financial motivation? All that we can say for certain is that free freemason reflourished in the

So you can already see that there is multiple lodges going on here at the same time. There's one where it's for the higher class individuals. Then you have this other lodge on the other side of town that's for more of the tradesmen, right, and all these things. Then you have these other lodges where both of these parties would meet, and it will kind of be the combining of the minds, if you will think.

Of it like a job site.

You've got your your office hands, your superintendents, your general foremans and all these things.

And you have your.

Field hands and your field foremans and these types, right, and they operate in different fields, they go to very different meetings. But ever now and then there will be a big meeting where all of the heads, whether their field hands or office hands, will come together to get on the same page and make sure that everybody's moving in the same direction.

Does this make sense?

Yeah?

Yeah, So the lodge that Mozart joined was Beneficence, which had been founded only a year earlier in seventeen eighty three. A glance at the subscription list for Mozart's Wednesday Concerts, which started in March seventeen eighty four, reveals a strikingly large number of fellow Masons. These members seem to know value and support one another. After joining the lodge, Mozart wrote a whole series of pieces, most of them intended

Indeed, so this is when they started getting more oppressed in their native land.

But anyway, let's continue.

So now we're talking about the magic flute and its symbolism. There is a well known oil painting from the late seventeen eighties depicting the interior of a Masonic lodge. That's the painting that I showed right here on the left, But which one The answer is unclear. It is possible that it does not represent a particular lodge, but is rather a kind of collage designed to capture key features

The piece reflects the spirit of.

An age in the late eighteenth century in Vienna and mirrors the social upheaval of the period as well as the values of the Enlightenment. It also includes timeless elements drawn from the world of fairy tales, but it also has been interpreted as the light of its affinities with Freemasonry. The music is rich in Masonic symbolism. One component of the ritual that is enacted here is the priest's fanfare,

I don't know, not astute anyway.

It's also there's a conversation.

To say that he died from an std right, there's a conversation to say that he died from over drinking. There's a conversation to say that he died from being poisoned. The reality is he had consumption which we would now call tuberculosis, and autopsies showed that he was suffering from this for a while. And he also drank like a fish. He partied hard. Whatever was going on during the day. If there was a drug of choice in this timeframe, he was dabbling like he was.

This is just what he.

Got down with, right, So I'm not saying poisoning as in, like a bad actor poisoned him.

Now, would he have died from alcohol.

Poisoning or something like that, maybe, But as far as I can sell, there are some conspiracy, conspiratorial conversations that he had about Mozart's death. But when you look at the autopsies and the reports of the people that found him and did and I'm granted we're talking to the late seventeen hundreds, it wasn't like they had the excess of medical technology that we have today, but all the telltale signs did not point to poison.

But anyway, interesting, Okay, Well, I would actually be pretty interested to see which drugs he was messing around with.

Well, if it was during this time, there's a conversation to say.

That opiates or opium itself may have made its way to this section of Europe. But I mean, I'm trying to think when the Opium Wars took place, the East India Trading Company was big with making sure that England and by extension, most of Europe had that. But it wouldn't have been like heroin. It would have been true traditional opium den type of things that were going down.

From what I could find, it was probably for the area and the time, a little bit of marijuana.

Oh well, I mean, hey, nobody's ever died from marijuana overdose.

I don't know.

But anyway, all right, this next article that we have pulled up here is actually from a very interesting website, Universal co Masonry. This website, bro is uh you know, I'm just gonna show you their main page if you will tell me what you think about the way this looks pretty interesting.

Well, there's a man and a woman.

There there there is.

Indeed, oh, free masonry for men and women. Okay, Oh, that's the idea of Universal co Masonry then.

Okay, indeed, indeed, and so this website has a lot of information.

Can women become Freemasons? Right, there's right off the rip. It's all about that equality.

The path too serious as in the Egyptian god, which you're gonna see a lot of serious and Osiris references anytime you look into free masonry, and there's esoteric reasons for that, but we are not.

Talking about that at this time.

We are talking about freemasonry and the secrets of music. Are you ready to learn even more about what the Masons feel towards music.

Brother music is as timeless as humanity itself, and it's harmonies and melodies bring us from the unmanifested to the manifest, from the unreal to the real. What is the significance of music to the Freemason? And how how can its immutable principles teach us about the reality of Masonic ritual I do it on.

Bank mentioned real quick.

This was published September tenth of twenty twenty four from the very illustrious brother Pamela mcdown, thirty third degree.

Oh indeed, imagine being called a brother brother, imagine that right.

But even still, it is a thirty third degree Mason who wrote this. So this is somebody who has gone through all the rights, all the rituals, all of the things, paid their dues, and they, being a thirty third degree Mason, had the highest levels of knowledge and enlightenment as far as Blue Side Masonry would allow.

Just throwing this out.

As far as tradition goes, it goes against tradition. But to say that a woman can't become enlightened, that's that's ridiculous. So I understand why they would want to introduce both sexes. I don't see a.

Problem with that.

Now, I don't know. Maybe Pamela is a dude. There's been dudes with female names before. Stay saying that. That being said, I just want to make sure the female versus male on that.

I'm just saying. It's a thirty third degree Mason.

So this is not somebody who's like a third level master Mason who's been in the Order for like five years that wrote an article about it. This is somebody that has dedicated the majority of their life to the Order.

It's the Scottish rite, right, that goes up to thirty three.

You can achieve thirty three from both York and Scottish. However, one of them kind of skip some levels. You got one through three, then you jump to five, seven, nine, thirteen, eighteen, twenty five, twenty seven, thirty and then thirty three the other one.

You have to go through each individual step.

It's been a while since I did a real deep dive into them, but yeah.

I know. No better way to place a frame around the ideas I would like to express in this article than to begin with a beautiful statement often attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach and the archie brother, Johann, I'm Trippin. I speak freedom. Okay, So Jay.

We don't have j in this country. It's Johann.

It's a hard j okay. In the architecture of music, or of my music, I want to demonstrate to the world of the architecture of a new and beautiful social commonwealth. The secret of my harmony. I alone know it, each instrument in counterpoint, and as many counterpuntal parts as there are instruments. It is the enlightened self discipline of the various parts, each voluntarily imposing on itself the limits of its individual freedom for the well being of the community.

Now I will say this Bach himself, and I'm a fan of his and I've talked to people who are like professional opera singers and musicians in this realm, and I've always felt personally that Bach has had almost a mathematical principle to his music. If you ever listened to it and with the same level of intensity that you listen to that one song and you're like, bro, is there something extra going on here? If you listen to some of Bach's work, it almost sounds now I understand

Masons when he calls it a delicate balance between the two right and so it almost you know, it reminds you of the light and the dark, the black and the white checkerboard. Everything was always duality, duelist.

Night and the day. In the Magic Flute, for instance, absolutely.

Brother yes, Yes. What follows will be an exploration of the notions of brotherhood and enlightened freedom. My aim will be to demonstrate that the architecture of music is an apt metaphor for the Masonic lodge work. What exactly are the secrets of music and how do these secrets relate to the craft craft?

What freemasonry is not?

Okay, Freemasonry is not the autocracy of a single stubborn melody. As Box said, the above phrase highlights the dangers of dominance and lack of diversity in music. It represents a scenario where one melody overpowers and dictates the entire composition, stifling the richness and complexity that multiple harmonizing parts can bring. Similarly, in freemasonry, this phrase warns against the concentration of power

Now, if you really think about it, I I was just thinking about this for a second. So I know you have the different lodges. What is a It's called like King Henry's Lodge for the for the Black Prince Henry Hall, Prince Henry's right, it's it's mainly for the black folk, right, and then you have only four yeah, and then you have the female lodge, which one was that what called.

Again Order of the Eastern Star.

Order of the Eastern Star. I would actually suggest that there is a much if we're looking at the spectrum of duality, right, that you're you're gonna get much more equal and opposite ends of the spectrum of polarity with a man and a woman than you would a white man and a black man. So I'm not saying I think that everybody should be involved, but I'm saying, as far as the the differences go with the black and white that they're always trying to show up there, it

So with that being said, I don't disagree with you. I see what you're saying, and I'm on the same page with you right now. I also, in my research have I'm more led to believe that the admittance of African American gentlemen into freemasonry under the auspices of Prince Henry Hall and the admission of women to the Order of the Eastern Star, this was more of a financial move and an attempt to change with the times while still holding true to the original ideals of the Four Letter Charter.

And here's what I mean by that.

When the civil rights got passed, Okay, now black men were completely equal in all way, shapes and forms to white men.

There was nothing that they could say that they could hold over them.

And free masonry at this time was also kind of going through a bit of a dip, and they have been for quite some time, and still to this day they are struggling to maintain membership in a lot of the lodges. There are some lodges that are doing well. More often than not you have lodges closing down than you have new lodges starting up.

But anyway, when this happened, they realized.

That hey, wait a minute, y'all, we could start a lodge specifically for them and keep the segregation intact. Okay, and we'll give them some of the ceremonial things and the rituals, but we're still gonna collect their dues from them, right. And so now we have a way to reach a wider audience, collect more dues, make more.

Money, and we can make them feel like they're equal.

But in reality, we're gonna keep our secrets for ourselves, right. And I know there's gonna be a lot of Masonic people that will listen to that and say that that is preposterous and incorrect and all the things. Listen, I'm not a Mason. I'm not speaking as if that's a fact. That is what I have been led to believe from

Reality they have will never get.

The same level of information that a four letter charter would get.

No, I get it. I'm just saying that, you know, it was freemasonry in general in general was created in a time where the traditions of the time where the men were it was, you know, it was kind of a the men ruled the world and you know, kind of looked at everybody else. Well, the white men ruled the world and kind of looked at everybody else as beneath them as far as the time of the tradition goes.

I would say, oh, agreed.

And the Freemasonry of today is not the Freemasonry of the nineteen sixties. No, Like on some real levels, yeah, they might be reading morals and dogma the same book, but the way they operate and the way that they're they are begging people to come join them these days because their numbers are dwindling to solo. So absolutely they're accepting women as full members and they the whole Prince Henry Hall.

There's a tradition. We're involved with that. But you have a lot.

There was an old rule that basically you had black lodges and white lodges and you did not blend the two.

You just did not.

These days there is more blending happening nationwide and arguably worldwide than ever before. So yeah, it's it's a different world that we're currently living in.

For it's also there's no money in enlightenment, you know what I mean, Like, there's no money in brotherhood anymore. And you think about it, dude, Like I went to the pool yesterday. So I live in an apartment complex. We have a like a community pool, that we go to. Me and my son, we go just about every day, and there were people there, Dude, Nobody said hi to anybody. Nobody said hey, how you doing or anything. Everybody just

Dude.

I can't tell you how many times I open a door for somebody, not expecting a thank you, but think you would be nice. Right I open a door, Dude, they don't even look back at me, like, don't even acknowledge that I just opened it. I'm like, what where did where did all this go?

Like?

How did they get here?

They used to be a thing in the South, right like this, the Southern hospitality that used to really be a thing. Bro, it's only a thing in small pockets anywhere anymore. I mean, you're living in it right outside of a big city. It's gonna have big city vibes to it. Yeah, there's still parts of Texas where it's absolutely that small town vibe and people still have that Southern hospitality. But to your point, due, that's that's also

Yeah, I mean the way that people represent themselves online and in person are two totally entirely different people, you know.

But anyway, so we talked a lot about what freemasonry is not.

Now let's learn what freemasonry is.

Freemasonry is an enlightened freedom in quotes. In the realm of music, this concept embodies the idea that each instrument, while capable of independent expression, chooses to harmonize and balance its contribution for the collective beauty of the composition. This voluntary discipline ensures that no single part overwhelms the others,

Indeed, so there you go.

Now, with that being said, we get to the secret laws of music, law, vibration, law of resonance, law of rhythm, law of harmony. These promatic Now when we're getting into the realm of what the Masons believe as far as working tools within their craft her meticism.

Baby, let's go so the secret laws of music. As we have seen, mastering the power of sound can be one of the most potent working tools at the hands of the freemason to bring about transformation during ritual. Here are four laws that deserve contemplation for the serious brother and student of the mysteries. The law of vibration embodies the truth that everything in the universe moves and vibrates at one frequency or another, a fact which modern science endorses.

You hear these things right as we're reading these aloud, you can already hear how they are getting into the esoteric, into the occult, into the mystics, into all these things.

Right, I mean, what is freemasonry without those things?

Well, according to Alford Pike, without the Kabbalah, what is freemasonry?

Same thing.

Yeah, Although, as we were talking about vibrations and residents, before we get to the law of rhythm and harmony, if you would like to experience the healing powers of sound frequency technology, can go check out real Rife technologies. All right, our homeboyd Matt Rife, the great nephew of war Raymond Rife, the scientists and engineered that produced and

He sends out this iPad with it.

It's a Samsung rather and it's got like over four thousand different sequences and frequencies on it. Let's say you're having stomach pains, there is a frequency for that. You're having a migraine, there's a frequency for that. You got a joint that is killing you, muscle aches, you're trying to recover faster after a workout, whatever the case is,

I understand that the calls are a little expensive.

They are on the pricier side of things as far as your own day to day ritual goes, and maybe you don't want to spend that kind of money. There is a thirty day money back guarantee, so if you are not impressed with the results within thirty days, send it back. No no harm, no.

Foul, and it's cheaper than insurance, So I just want to throw that out there. Also, just as far as the rife machines go, is that each frequency is a resonant frequency that is attuned to a healthy organ or a healthy whatever that is going on in your body. So your you know, your liver, your lungs, your heart, your brain, your skin, whatever, all has some kind of natural,

And it's not gonna take a one time fix, right Like, you're not gonna Let's say that you're somebody who suffers from a high stomach acid or something like that. So you play the frequency for this, okay, cool. The first day, you may not feel the effects. It might take you using it every day for a week before you actually start to feel the effects. It takes a while for vibrations to actually start working. Onto your body on that level.

Yeah, it's not woo woo at all. It's like you can actually feel it, so it's not that crazy.

You.

If Jacob can say that, that should be like the check mark, Because Jacob I.

Can say that. Dude, Me and my dad we shot a commercial together.

He has physically felt the effects of this machine and he uses it twice.

A day every day. Like religious, Oh, my parents too.

I gave my rife machine to my parents and you know, they got back pain. They're a little bit older, you know, and they say, yeah, I mean it's it just works, wonders. It's crazy how it works in your mind. Your mind has a hard time wrapping itself around how it's working because you can't see it happening. But I also want to say too that you know you can't see in a leave happening, you know, but whenever you take it,

No, it is not fuck Big Pharma, but we are sponsored by Real Rife Technologies.

Yes, yes, good plug there sir. Another law that they get into is the law of rhythm. Music rises in crescendo, it fades, it moves quickly, then slows, it fades into de crescendo. Behind all of this is a steady and constant rhythm. Everything in the universe vibrates and moves at certain rhythms, like a heartbeat. These rhythms establish seasons, cycles, stages of development, and patterns. The Freemason uses this law to produce effective ritual work. As the nature of the

No.

But and we've said that even years ago, we said this, ninety nine percent of Masons are decent people.

You know.

Maybe they got involved with it for the networking of it, maybe they got involved with it because they wanted to make new friends, they wanted to get, you know, a little more enlightenment. Whatever the case is, ninety nine percent of them are not doing anything involving the Dark Arts, right. It is the very very very tippy top and a few of the offshoots that are doing the bad shit

Sure, sure, yeah, well I mean it. You know, it maintains with the idea of initiation. You know, you're not just gonna get Joe blow off the street to come in on a thirty third degree meeting, you know what I mean. So it's probably a little something like that. And also I think that there are and this is a heavily disagree to disagreed upon idea right here. But I just want to throw it out there because I believe that probably most Freemasons believe this. I'm not saying

That's more gnostic and a lot, and there's no real ties between the Gnostic literature and Masonic literature.

There is a cabbalistic.

Take on it, don't get me wrong, but I think it also depends Mason and Mason right. Like, if you have Freemasons that are also openly Christian, they probably do see Lucifer as like the bad guy obviously, And if you have some Freemasons that are not really involved with one religion or another, they're kind of open and it on that front, they may be more inclined to believe what you're saying.

I think it varies personal person.

The reason I say that is, and it's been talked about a lot, and I think we've probably even mentioned it before too, that Lucifer, Satan, and the devil are not the same person.

Respectfully, I disagree with that.

But if you look at it, you know Satan is supposed to be it just stands for adversary and Lucifer just stands for you know, light bearer or light bringer or whatever. So if you were to split them up, and even just in the occult nature of them, you're not going to be calling upon Satan for this kind of ritual. Whenever you're talking about the different laws of her meticism and the laws of universe. You know, you wouldn't be calling upon Satan. You might call upon Lucifer

I feel like that same thing would be like saying that Yeshiah, Messiah, and Redeemer are not the same thing, right, Like they're different entities, and it's like that it's not true, right, his name was Yeshiah, but he was the Messiah and he is there for the Redeemer. So like Satan means adversary, devil just means like the antithesis thereof, and the bad guy Lucifer means light bring We're talking about the same entity that's got different words associated to it, that has

Also, the idea of Satan, if you look into it, that Satan is referred to as different individuals. So the idea that Satan was able to go up in heaven and have a conversation with God, it doesn't necessarily mean the individual name Satan. It just means an adversary went up into heaven. I believe that just from doing my own research.

Joe, Right, yeah, I again, from what I mean, you have done our own research on this, and I respectfully disagree with that.

That's all I mean.

Yeah, Like whenever Jesus told Peter right after he said that this is the rock of which I will build my church, like two sentences later, says get behind me, Satan.

He wasn't calling him the devil.

He was saying, get behind me adversary or person who was going against what I'm trying to do here.

Right, I'm with you on that.

But then whenever they're talking about Job and the court, they are talking about the actual fall in one patrolling the earth. And that's why the whole conversation of Job took places. Like the only reason Job is even worshiping you is because you've blessed him.

Take all that.

Away, and I guarantee he'll fall and worship me instead. Like that was that was the whole thing. So it's it's understood that that was the one in question. It was the evil one, the adversary, the devil, Satan, Lucifer, that person. But to say a satan or a devil is yeah, that's that term itself could be used and applied in other places.

I guess my point is is that you know, you can have one book but a million different interpretations.

You know.

It's like Roy says, it's like, you know, you get two Jews together, you're gonna get three different opinions. You know, that whole idea. So there are many different ways of looking at one piece of literature, you know, and everybody is up to their own interpretation, and hey, whatever if it if it works in ritual, or it works in ritual. That being said, I don't think that the majority of Freemasons are in some sort of a collective even worshiping the Dark Lord.

Right. They may not are.

If they are, they don't know that what the rituals they're doing are pertaining to that. A lot of them are doing it because that's just the tradition. That's just that's just how it's been done for hundreds of years. This is how you go through your initiation. I look, I may think it's weird, but that's the way they do it here. We're just we're doing it this way.

Cool.

Cool, It's only the one percent at the very tippy tippy top and some of the offshoots that are doing way more of the dark occult practices that are actually doing something in the realm of evil.

Yeah, it's the one percent of the one percent of the one percent that are doing any of that evil shit. Most of the people in you know, in any in any secret society, I would say, are you know, just seeing as more of you know, enlightenment training with brotherhood right right that being said, we'll get to it. The law of harmony and harmonic relationships is not an arbitrary creation.

Like I said, this entire article was written by a thirty third degree Mason, And like they said, they talked about what freemasonry is, what it is not, the secret laws of music, and within that the principles of the law vibration, resonance, rhythm, and harmony, and these are things that, yeah, we probably could have just had this conversation and debated back and forth. But at least this is what the Freemasons accept as far as that goes, and they have

We've talked about him.

This article that I'm kind of glancing over here is from The Square magazine dot com, the Square being a Masonic magazine. Here we go within the craft music has served and to be played in Masonic lodge's music composed for Masonic rights and occasions, and lodge songs performed to keyboard accompaniment before, after, and during meetings. But with all this being said, right, we're gonna just kind of gloss

Day and era. Have you ever heard of John Phillips Susa.

Can't say that I have.

John Phillips Susa is seen as the father of the modern day marching band. Okay, he was a marine and he was head of the commander, for lack of better words, of the Marine Corps band, which is still operating today. They're known as the President's own because they played for him so much. John Phillips Susa was, in fact a freemason. This is him right now. He is an iconic figure of American music, heralded for his stirring military marches, carved

He almost looks like Teddy Brosevelt.

He kinda kind of like it humb eighteen fifty four's this is pre Civil War Okay, goes back. So his undeniable talent blossomed as he mastered the violin under the guidance of George Felix Benkirk post a brief tumultuous.

Stint with John esputa junior.

The pivotal moment came when his father enlisted him in the United States Marine Band to deter his young son from joining a circus band, setting the stage for a remarkable career that would see Susa ascend to the directorship of the Marine Corps Band. During his tenure, Susa elevated

Right right, And it's almost the manifested feeling that you get whenever you're listening to that music. Could be the message that underlays all of free Masonic understanding. I would say it's very very true.

So with that being said, we got one more video to play here where a master Mason will actually speak about the Magic flu itself and give a little more insight to it to solidify the theories and the perspectives that we have shared on this episode.

Let's listen in this.

Is inside the music. I'm Brian Lawrenson. The Magic Flute is not only an opera that tells the story of love and trials, there's also a deeper meaning. Mozart intended the work to be a dramatic representation of a person's initiation into Freemasonry, and to learn more about it, I went to the Masonic Center in Santa Monica spoke with former Grand Master of Masons in California, Stephen Don.

This is known as Mozart's Masonic Opera, written in the last year of his life, and he did something that he knew his Masonic brothers would attend and that non Masons would come out of curiosity for what the Masons were about. And he thinly disguised a Masonic initiation ceremony

So this opera is called the Magic Flute.

I imagine there's quite a bit to unpack there.

Freemasonry is all about harmony. That's why geometry is the central symbol of freemasonry. Because geometry measures the harmony in the universe. There's a principle in theology, it's called hypostasis. We can never know the divine, we can only see the work of the divine. And because geometry measures the harmony in the universe, geometry therefore becomes the symbol of the creator of that harmony. That's the whole point of freemasonry. That's really the whole point of this opera, and the

Okay, so it actually it compares, you know, the way that he just kind of explained that with Taoism in a way as well, because the one of the main quotes in the the Doao says that the dow that can be told is not the true Dao, basically saying that, like words or explanations can't explain the very definition of the doo or you know, some might say the God or the source or whatever. Taoism is kind of just you know, another word for God.

I think.

I've looked into Taoism a good bit and it.

It doesn't really show a creator.

But no, no, it's not necessarily a creator. I'm just trying to put it in your lens.

So like the universe essentially, you.

Could look at it that way, just like whatever makes up the individual atoms of everything, you know, the everything that created that or whatever. But anyway, I just pulled it up and it says this phrase suggests that the true essence of the dow or the natural way of the universe cannot be fully captured or defined by words or explanations. It emphasizes the idea that personal experience and understanding of the doo are more soignificant than any verbal description.

Okay, so fair.

You know that people like to put God in a box. Basically, they're saying you can.

So all this to say, Mozart wrote this composition with this intention, specifically to convey a very Masonic message, right, and.

To the uninitiated.

If me and you, let's say that The Magic Flute had a playing in Houston, and for whatever reason, I was in town and we decided let's go check it out, we would have never known that. We would have just seen the play and thought that it was kind of crazy. Mozart was kind of losing You're not not losing his mind, but he was.

He had a very wild imagination.

Yeah.

Right, then those that were initiated would know what the deeper meaning really was. This is actually called the Masonic Opera.

I love it. I did not know about that. That makes me love it even more.

Actually, it's kind of crazy, Like I said, I just I kind of stumbled upon a book about this this morning when I was at Barnes and Noble had no idea.

I was like, that's kind of an old story, isn't it.

And then as I looked into him, I was like, well, I know what my topic is today.

Let's go. Yes, yes, we find inspiration on a daily basis as for the topics that we will be conversing about. So yeah, that's what we try to do.
