The
Truth About the Order of
the
Knights of John the Baptist
Helena
P. Blavatsky
Jacques de Molay and the Cross of the Templars
A 2020 Editorial Note
Regarding the secretive,
yet famous Order of the Knights Templars, the use of discernment is especially
necessary, for in the first years of 19th century the Order was almost entirely
reinvented by the Jesuitical Vatican, for propaganda purposes.
In “Isis Unveiled”, Helena Blavatsky quotes these
lines from the distinguished freemason Charles Sotheran:
“The modern Templars, whom you refer to in your letter, are but mere
magpies in peacock’s plumes. The aim of the Masonic Templars is the
sectarianization, or rather the Christianizing of Masonry, a fraternity which
is supposed to admit the Jew, Parsee, Mahometan, Buddhist, in fact every
religionist within its portals who accepts the doctrine of a personal god, and
spirit-immortality. According to the belief of a section, if not all the
Israelites, belonging to the Craft in America - Templarism is Jesuitism.” [1]
The following text is reproduced from “Isis Unveiled”,
volume II, pp. 380-387.
Title and subtitles have been added by us. In order to
make a contemplative reading easier, some longer paragraphs were divided into
shorter ones. We added a few footnotes.
