A GUIDE FOR THE HEXED: THE OLD THEODICY OF THE NEW BOHEMIANS DEBUNKED (FREE WILL AND THE PROBLEM OF EVIL)

John Paul Jones, 2007


"That great Kabbilistical association known in Europe under the name of Masonry appeared suddenly in the world when the revolt against the Church had just succeeded in dismembering Christian unity." -- Eliphas Levi, Freemason, black magician and Cabalist, author of "Trancendental Magic", "Mysteries of the Qabalah", and "The History of Magic", from whence this quote was derived, page 283, here notes that Freemasonry is a Cabalist institution and suggests that it became public in consequence of the wreckage of Christian unity that followed in the wake of the Reformation, which it likely had no small part in effecting in this author's opinion.

Now at last we approach the end of this discourse, where, after considering the genesis and eschaton of Solomon's Seal, we look not to the end or beginning, but rather to the Great Divide, or what is called the Great Schism, which is the heart of things, the crux of the matter, the dividing line, where we must each take sides as the battle lines are drawn. It's here, as a matter of historical record, that swords crossed and armies clashed in days of old, where so many brave souls fell on either side of this deep divide, so that we can only marvel in deep sadness at the carnage and shudder to think of the carnage that may yet ensue.

Those too disheartened to make it to this demarcation point may be lost already, unless we can revive their hope in God, so that they will fight like good soldiers of Jesus Christ, and to that end, this ending. Let us leap, then, into the great and awful chasm, Helm's Deep, so to speak, where many a soul lost heart, but in any case, where the fighting must be done if truth be found.

There is something deeply confusing and disheartening about the Great Schism between Catholics and Protestants, which began with the Bohemian Hussites. Jesus Christ called His followers to unity, yet never again would there be even a semblance of unity in the Christian world. One can say, quite truly, that the Protestant rebellions never broke the unity of the Catholic Church but rather broke away from that unity, yet even so, if we grant that view, the confusion and disillusionment remain, even among many Catholics, creating a powerful undercurrent of doubt, threatening to pull even Catholics into the abyss of despair. Perhaps the break didn't destroy Catholic unity, but in any case, it certainly broke Catholicism's hold on the Western World, and with it, arguably, the levy that held back the flood of Satanic filth.

Perhaps all that's needed is to understand the true meaning of the banners that are being unfurled in the wind. Already we know the beginning and end, but what side to take now is our doubt, our dilemma, our destiny; this is not a fight for the world but for the souls assembled in the fog of this diabolic darkness. In this battle, the end is known, but our own is not, and that is always the real battle-- to know what side to take, what road to travel, which way to go, for there is only one way away from evil in this labyrinth, and behold, all the forces of darkness are arrayed against us, and whichever side we take, the fallen angels seek to take us down. For "fiery the angels fell; deep thunder rolled around their shoulders, burning with the fires of Ork", and so, we are told, like blazing stars, the evil angels fell to earth to decieve the nations. Therefore, let us consider more closely, most carefully, these banners arrayed before us, unfurled like riddles in winds that howl through Helm's Deep.

To keep heart, to have faith, to keep seeking truth, this pearl is in my pocket, as if it were a cipher: "He [God] does not willingly bring grief or suffering upon the children of men." -- Lamenations 3:33, The Holy Bible [Italics mine.] With this cipher, this promise, also in my breast pocket:


"The Sefer Zohar said that Kabbalah illuminates dualism, the idea that Good and Evil are locked in mortal combat throughout the universe, and it called this supernatural, evil force the Sitra Ahra ('the other side'). Don't think that George Lucas hadn't read a little Kabbalah before making Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi opposite sides of the Force. But the Sitra Ahra exists not to fight God; it was created by God to give man the free will to choose between good and evil."
(Freemasons for Dummies, Christopher Hodapp, 32nd Degree Post Master, Knight Templar, page 167) [ Hodapp's claim that Kabbalah teaches that good and evil are engaged in mortal combat is misleading; as the movie Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith, attests, the purpose of Kabbalah is to balence or harmonize good and evil, not to destroy (win mortal combat) against evil, in which case the "mortal combat" is in fact a bloody and benighted mystical charade, but, in any case, point here is simply that Kabbalah teaches that the God of the Kabbalah, or The Force, has a good and evil side. The Kabbalah teaches what Hollywood teaches: life devoid of evil would be dull, cheap, and meaningless, so evil is good, and it would be bad for the box office to do away with evil, so evil must be preserved and harmonized with good at any cost, even the cost of real blood.]

To deny the reality of free will, as the Muslims, Bohemians, Lutherans, Calvinists do, logically implies that evil is necessary as part of God's will, because, in that case, every choice that any created being makes is ultimately God's will manifesting through a created being. After all, in that case, there is no other will that can act contrary to God's will, so that every evil choice of any created being must ultimately be attributed to God. Thus the Catholic historian, Hillaire Bulloc, compared Calvinism to Moloch worship: "Though the iron Calvinist affirmations (the core of which was an admission of evil into the Divine nature by the permission of but One Will in the universe) have rusted away, yet his vision of a Moloch God remains..." (Hillaire Belloc, "The Great Heresies") By admission of evil into the Divine nature, the dogma of the slave will logically entails the Kabbalist view of God, which holds that God has both a good and an evil side. This Qabalist dualism is symbolically represented by Solomon's Seal, the tell-all talisman of Solomonic magia and the "geometrical synthesis of the whole occult doctrine", according to Dr. John Dee, the notorious Qabalist and sorceror, who was the court astrologist of Queen Elizabeth I of England.

But to claim, on the other hand, as the Freemasons do, that free will exists, that evil must likewise exist because free will is impossible without it, likewise implies that the existence of evil is God's will, because, in that case, evil was supposedly created by God so that created beings could freely choose between good and evil. The Catholic view, if I understand it correctly, holds, to the contrary, that although God did indeed create evil, as is plainly stated in the Bible, He did so reluctantly, not willingly in one sense, but only as a necessary response to the evil choices of men, who were given free will, i.e., the power to act as autonomous and independent beings with the capacity, therefore, to act contrary to God's will.

From a Christian perspective, the Masonic view that evil is neeeful for free choice fails to explain how created beings could be free prior to the fall, or how they can remain free after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, when He will "destroy the works of the devil", i.e., all evil.

If evil is a necessary condition of free choice, how did God freely choose to create the world, or how could His creatures freely choose evil in the pre-fallen world devoid of evil?

In either case, then, evil is made to appear needful, necessary, and part of God's will. Evil is seen as relative to good, necessary for good, so that evil is justified and seen as something desireable, not something that should be utterly opposed and rooted out. Thus, although these two seemingly opposite views differ in that one denies free will, whereas the other view, that of the Kabbalist Freemasons, affirms the reality of free will, both are essencially occult dogmas because they logically imply that God is both good and evil, and that is a kabbalist, not a Christian, view of God. For in either case, God not only created evil, but the evil that He created did not arise contrary to His will, but rather because He pre-ordained, predestined, and purposed it, perhaps due to the "secret council of God", as Calvin put it, or because evil is a necessary condition of free will, as the Kabbalists have it.

According to the Calivinist and Bohemian view, which is also the Muslim view of God, the Devil is God's hit man, demons are God's errand boys, and no created being, whether demon or human, can act contrary to God's sovereign will any more than a puppet can act independently of the puppet master. Thus evil can only be seen as God's good will. It makes no more sense to blame created beings for evil, in that case, that it would to blame a puppet for knocking down a glass of milk; the puppet's master is the one pulling the strings. It's that simple, despite the attempts by Calvinists to mystify and befuddle the issue and obscure the obvious.

Likewise, according to the seemingly opposite view, that of the Freemasons and Kabbalists, evil is necessary because God wills that humans have freedom to choose between good and evil, where the spurious assumption, which has no Biblical basis, or at least none that I can see, remains, as always, that created beings cannot enjoy free will in the abscence of evil. Are we to believe, then, that when Jesus destroys all evil, free will will cease to exist? Are we to think that prior to the fall created beings were not free? If not, then how can created beings be blamed for the fall?

To give evil a purpose, to make senseless suffering seem sensible, is in fact to deny the reality of evil, and if so, then insofar as these two views both purport to give purpose to evil, they are at root identical in that they in fact try to justify the unjustifiable, giving Satan, who is both the personification of evil and a very real spirit of evil which rules this world for a time, merit and meaning, purpose and praise as one who ultimately helps God achieve His aims.

Therefore, we conclude that predestinarian Protestantism and Freemasonry are opposite sides of the same occult coin; namely, the desire of Satan to exhault himself as heroic, while making it appear as if it's only God's bedevilment and mans that would make the Devil God's scapegoat, when in fact, according to Kabbalist dualism, God is ultimately and soley blameworthy for the existence of evil because He not only planed, purposed, and pre-ordained it, but He did so willingly because, to paraphrase French Freemason Eliphas Levi, "the Devil is God working evil", or, to paraphrase Freemason Lomas, "the Devil is God on a bad day", or to parapharse Rabbi G. Dennis, "evil is God's throne". Both views, in other words, remain essentically occult and Kabbalistic in that they logically suggest that God is both good and evil, or metaphorically speaking, light and dark, whereas the Bible teaches, to the contrary: "God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all" (1 John, The Holy Bible).

Of course, Calivnists are loathe draw out or acknowledge the logical implications of their slave-will dogma, and they may be sincere in their disavowals of any blasphemous view of God, but it's quite possible, and in fact quite common, for people to sincerely assert beliefs that contradict other beliefs that they sincerely hold. In any case, the Catholic Church rightly decried the slave-will dogma and declared it heretical in 1410, according to Penny Lord, co-author of "The Tragedy of the Protestant Reformation", and the last of the Catholic crusades were launched against the Hussite rebels, the Bohemian Protestant-precursors, who allegedly held to this dogma of the slave-will.


Lastly, consider that the inverted pentagram of the satanic religion, which is said to represent the god of lust, but also the god of fate insofar as astrology is based on the premise that the stars control our destiny, logically implies the same fatalism or predestinarianism, alibiet perhaps for different reasons, as that which is held by the Calvinists and Qabalists, Behaviourists and Babtists, Lutherans and Luciferians, Presbyterians and predestinarian Muslims, not to mention Zionist Judaizers, who mix "race with grace", teaching that certain people, the Jews, whoever they might be, gain special unearned favor from God by virtue of their race and, according to some in Hebrew Roots movement, earn eternal salvaiton neither by faith nor works but by a genetically determined Divine decree, etc. Thus, despite the very real differences in doctrine between these varied faiths, they share an important doctrine, one that's fundamental insfosar as it changes one's basic view of God and man; namely, strict predestinarianism--a theory that's not uncommon, yet certainly not catholic (universal), nor Catholic (Roman Catholic), but one that's well signified by what might be considered the universal symbol of Satan, the inverted pentagram, which is known to signify, among many other things, the god of the Kabbalah, and the god of this world, but also, the bondage of the human will, the net cast by the stars, so to speak, to trap mortals in the web of "outrageous fortune" or eternal doom. If this analysis is correct, there is no better symbol to truly represent the essence of our Protestant, Freemasonic, and Judaic nation than the inverted pentagram that can be seen in the street structure of Washington, DC, for despite their many very real differences, these groups share an underlying assumption, one that's all the more powerful insofar as it remains unspoken and unconscious, thereby becoming a powerful undercurrent, one that arguably leads many into the abyss. In other words, they share the same guiding star, "the star of Remphan", a symbolical synonym of the Seal of Solomon, thus marking them out, despite their differences, both real and merely apparent, as occult at heart or in essence, i.e., double-minded, or we might say, hexed.

Evidently, the occult adepts well understood this. For example, if we consdier the Waite-Rider Tarot deck, designed by the infamous Freemason and Kabbalist, A.E. Waite, we see that the Death rider bears the banner of a Rosy pentalpha, or what Waite describes as "the mystic rose", the same symbol that the founder of the Protestant religion, Martin Luther, used on his signet ring. The number of the card, 13, is the number of rebellion and death, and thus the number of the Anti-Christ, and also, one of the numbers associated with Solomon's Seal. Below the Death rider is the Pope, who seems to beg for his life. The symbolism seems clear to me: the Rosicrucian brotherhood, the brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, brings death to Catholicism, via the Protestant rebellion, paving the way for anti-christ, and causing those who are blinded by the god of this world to adopt, unwittingly, the god of the Kabblah, or god of this world, by denying the reality of free will. So, "death brings life", as the Bonesmen teach, and here, as depicted on this Tarot Card, we see the death of Catholic Christianity bringing to birth the New Age. It's significant that Kabbalist dualism is made somewhat more explicit because one rose has one point up, the other has two points up, thus signifying the equality and equilibrium of opposites, as defined in the Kabbalah and symbolized by Solomon's Seal. In the background, we see the sun rising, which in Qabalist context, signifies the Mashiach, whose number is 666, the anti-Christ who will exact revenge on Christiandom, esp. Catholic Christianity. That, at any rate, is how I would interpet these symbols. Please see Luther's crest below.

But can one truly worship Jesus Christ if one adhere's to the dogma of the slave will? Can one share in the single-minded passion of Jesus Christ to overcome evil with good, to destroy the works of the Devil, and set the captives free, insofar as one adopts, either consciously or unconsciously, the conviction that evil is necessary, needful, and therefore, in a sense, good fruit? If evil is good fruit, should we not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good AND EVIL? Should we not learn about the Kabbalist "Tree of Life" so that we can balence good with evil?

Martin Luther, in his book, "Bondage of the Will", tells us that the fate of the world hinges upon the issue of free will, that those who think that there is such a thing are of the concieted and prideful opinion that they have something to do with their own salvation and thus deny glory which belongs to God alone, but as for me, I think, first, that true humiliation comes not if we deny the reality of free will but only when, as a consequence of realizing that we do have freedom, we realize that we alone are responsible for the evils we have wrought, not God, and what's more, we need not take credit for our salvation if we believe in free will, because, just as we can accept a gift in humility, realizing that we neither give the gift, nor made it, nor even did we give ourselves the power to accept it, yet with these powers and gifts given to us by God, including free will, we have done evil, so that truly, as it's written, our destruction is our doing, but salvation is God's alone, who with His own arm brought salvation, a gracious gift, one which God gave us power to accept if only we will reach out, by God's grace, to take hold of it. Yet can we truly accept or recieve forgiveness if we have never really repented? And how do we really and truly repent if consciously, or unconsciously, we deny the reality of free will, in which case, we refuse to blame ourselves or other sinners for our sufferings, but instead, attribute all evil acts and consequent sufferings to God's will?

The Bohemian rebellion was the turning point, but as the old theodicy of the new Bohemians attests, the last great battle against the Bohemians never ended, and the crypto-crusades of the Bohemians, Zionists, and Freemasons rage on.


"He does not willingly bring grief or suffering upon the children of men." -- Lamentations 3:33

Catholic).


"...the appearance that evil has an independent existence is illusionary and all that appears 'evil' from a human perspective is in fact truly subordinate to God, serving God's purpose in some inscrutable way. Thus in most forms of Jewish mysticism, evil is part of Creation, a byproduct from the 'other side', or Sitra Achra, of the divine emanation. 'Evil is the chair for good,' as the Baal Shem Tov put it, and suffering, misfortune, and sin are necessary part of existence. Even evil entities, such as demons, are really subject to, and agents of, God's purpose. Thus Chasidic teaching emphasizes that there is no absolute evil. It is common for mystics to call demons 'destructive angels' to emphasize that they remain obedient to God in some sense. For this reason, one can read in Jewish literature of demons studying Torah, adhereing to Jewish law, and even helping pious Sages. It is based on this also that a few Kabbalistic authorities say it is permitted to summon demons in order to have them perform benificent services for humanity." Rabbi G. W. Dennis, "The Encyclopedia of Jewish Myth, Magic, and Mysticism, page 85.
