The destruction of New York city (including the Twin Towers) sculpted right  on the building… Strange occult symbols on the floor… Weird rituals being  performed in the sanctuary… Home of the Temple of Understanding which  admittedly seeks to instate a new world religion…

This cathedral is definitively “different”, as some people might say. But the “difference” lies in the fact  that the cathedral is in fact a temple for the occult  elite.

I personally couldn’t care less about  each individual’s beliefs, but to trick unsuspecting church goers into an occult  house of worship is nothing less than Evil.

“The pagan intellectuals reclothed their original ideas in a  garment of christian phraseology but bestowed the keys of the symbolism only  upon those duly initiated and bound to secrecy” - Manly P.  Hall, The Secret Teachings of All  Ages

Background and History

This unfinished building has been claimed as being the world’s largest  cathedral. It is realistic to maintain such high aspirations when your  sources of funding include tycoons like JP Morgan and prominent figures like the  Grand Master of the Masons of the state of New York. The completion of the  cathedral was such a prized accomplishment for the Freemasons that it was  featured on the front page of “Masonic World” of March 1925.

The article states:

“It is particularly fitting that the Masons, who were the principal  builders of cathedrals and churches during the greatest cathedral-building  period, should now have a prominent part in the movement to build America’s  greatest cathedral (…) Little need be added to the story of  Freemasonry during the cathedral-building period; its monuments are its best  history, alike of its genius, its faith and its  symbols.”

The article openly admits that masonic cathedrals represent the best legacy  of the Brotherhood and the symbolism is prominently showcased. The masses are  however too ignorant to recognize the meanings behind the art, so they just  stare at them, thinking “it’s pretty nice”.

Freemasonry and the Occult

As you might know, Masonry has been, through the ages, the keeper of the “ancient mysteries”, which are occult and esoteric teachings only communicated  to the initiates. I will not explain here the mystery religion as it takes  several years of studies to get some understanding. I can however say that the  occultists draw their teachings from ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Kaballah and  Gnostic cultures, who predate by many centuries the Christian era. Secret  societies have been forced to hide the true nature of their philosophies in a veil of Christianity to avoid persecution by the Church. Freemasons and their  fellow organisms, the Rosicrucian Order and the Knights  Templar have all been accused of devil worship and idolatry in Europe.

While many low-level Freemasons may be practising Christians, those  looking to reach higher degrees within the Brotherhood are required to  study the tenants and the philosophies of the Mystery Religion.  Freemasons do not necessarily seek for the world to embrace their brand of  spirituality, as it is strictly reserved to the initiates. However, people in  high places, who often happen to be Masons are seeking to steer the population  towards a “dumbed-down” version of their paganism, as you will read later.

The Symbols

The impressive exterior of the cathedral provokes a humbling sensation at  whom gazes at it. But what are you humbling yourself to? We’ll examine the  details of the artwork.

1- The Apocalyptic Pillar

On the western facade of the building, stonemasons have sculpted numerous  scenes that seem oddly out of place for a Cathedral. The most striking one is  the chilling depiction of the destruction of New York city and its  landmarks.

Twin towers collapsing

The scene above was done in 1997, four years before  the destruction of the Twin Towers.  Other recognizable skyscrapers are the Chrysler Building and the Citigroup center.

Apocalyptic New York

The scene above might be unsettling for New York residents. We see the  Brooklyn bridge crumbling with cars and buses falling into agitated waters. At  the right is the Statue of Liberty, which seems to be sinking in the water.  Beneath this horrifying prophecy is the New York Stock Exchange, with people  trading goods around it.

So, what is the purpose of this weird carving? Well, the first thing that  needs to be mentioned is the actual St. John the Divine is credited for writing  the Book of Revelation in the Bible, which describes in symbolic  imagery the events of the apocalypse. Occultists believe that the Book of Revelation has been hermetically coded to reveal its true meaning to the  initiates of esoteric teachings.

This scene, carved on the west entrance of the  cathedral, depicts New York as being ”Babylon the Great”, the city who  gets completely destroyed by the wrath of God. The Book of Revelation  mentions:

“Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt  for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations have drunk the  maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery  with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

-Book of Revelation 18

The artists might be on to something because there is indeed numerous  similarities between the actual New York city and the description of Babylon the Great in the Bible.  The Book of Revelation mentions:

  1. A “Great Prostitute” who sits on many waters – peoples, multitudes, nations  and languages – holding a golden cup. She rules over the kings of the Earth. = The Statue of Liberty
  2. Merchants of the Earth who grew rich of her “excessive luxuries”, weeping  because nobody buys their goods anymore = New York Stock  Exchange

“The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her  will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry  out: ” ‘Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and  scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! In one hour  such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’

- Book of Revelation, 18

Knowing that, still today, over 70% of the world’s capital goes through the NYSE, we understand why the building was depicted on the apocalyptic pillar. It  represents the “financial” aspect of the Book of Revelation, where it repeatedly  refers to rich merchants and trading goods.

So, a landmark of NYC, the St. John the Divine Cathedral, predicts in vivid  detail the destruction of its home city. Pretty unusual. Under the rendering of  the NYSE, we a skeleton and strange creatures, who seem to represent death and  destruction. Is this some sort of prophecy?

2- Pagan Sculpture

This sculpture, which basically symbolizes the struggle between Good and  Evil, features numerous elements we can find in paganism: Sun worship, mythical  creatures and sun versus moon duality. Called “Fountain of Peace”, the sculpture  borrows the fantastic, bizarre and distorted art style of the Grotesque. All  sorts of animal creatures are emerging from a smiling sun, which represents the basic paradigm of Sun Worship (the Sun as giver of life).  The idol points to the east, an ancient pagan tradition. There is also weird stuff on the  sculpture like a DNA symbol (a DNA symbol also appears at the entrance of the  Cathedral). We all know how genetic modification is as Christian as it gets. We  can also find a quote of John Lennon saying “…one day the world will live as  one”. Think this is spooky? Read on.

Strange Rituals

A) Procession of the Ghouls

Every year, at Halloween, St. John the Divine is the host of a strange event  called “The Grand Procession of the Ghouls”. It is basically a parade taking  place right inside the sanctuary of the Cathedral where people dressed in  costumes of demons, ghouls, monsters and other creepy things, walk around to  macabre organ music. This thing resembles the strange rituals held behind closed doors by occult groups. Outside of the great number of costumes representing  demons and Satan (already extremely bizarre for a Cathedral), some costumes seem to make a mockery out of Christianity.

Don’t satanic rituals make fun of Christian rituals  by distorting them? Well that’s as distorted as it can get. Processions are a pagan tradition like the “Procession of the Prechten” in Germany, which is very  similar to the one at St. John the Divine in many ways.

B) The Blessing of the Animals

Another bizarre ritual is the Blessing of the Animals that takes place in  September of every year. You have a bunch of animals inside and outside the sanctuary of the Cathedral “worshiping God” (in their words). Since when do  animals read the Bible and such? They never did. An article published in 1996 by  the California Forestry Association describes the scene:

“…goats, horses and other animals are led to the alter to receive  blessings. Camels and elephants walk the aisles as worshipers march to the alter  with bowls of compost and worms.”

This is another pagan ritual, taking place inside a church. Notice the white  robes everybody is wearing.

There are uncanny resemblances  with pagan rituals.

So we’ve blessed, horses, monkeys and aunt Sylvia’s  poodle dressed like a ballerina. What is there left to bless? Why not people’s  bicycles while we’re at it? Oh crap, shouldn’t have said that.

C) The Blessing of Bicycles

I won’t even talk about this, its is too stupid.

D) Paul Winter’s Winter Solstice Celebration

Can’t worship the Sun more than that

This famous New Age musician celebrates the Winter solstice, one of the most  ancient pagan rituals.

He says on his website about the consort:

In ancient times, observers watched the sun sink lower in the sky each  day, and feared it would disappear completely and leave them in  darkness.

People practiced special rituals intended to entice the sun’s return.  Bonfires and candles, with their imitative magic, helped fortify the waning sun  and ward off the spirits of darkness. These symbols live on in our modern  seasonal customs: the candles of Hanukkah and Christmas are kin to the fiery  rites of old, which celebrated the miracle of the earth’s  renewal.

So, yes he is Pagan, he’s proud of it and he performs inside a cathedral.  Here’s a video of his rendering of “Silent Night”. Tell me who/what is being  worshipped?

The Temple of Understanding

St. John the Divine is the headquarters of the Temple of Understanding, an  interfaith effort to steer away people from traditional religions to a hybrid  kind of spirituality based on New Age philosophies, Neo-Paganism and a mix of  organized religions’ traditions. The “friends” who have assisted the founder Juliet Hollister include John D. Rockefeller II, the XIV Dalai Lama, Eleanor Roosevelt, UN Secretary-General U Thant, International  Planned Parenthood and the Jewish Theological Seminary. Jean Houston, a New Age  guru and supporter of the Temple of Understanding wrote in her book “Trojan  Horse”:

“The Temple’s purpose is to facilitate the one world religion, through  the promoting both the acceptance and the embrace of all religions, beliefs and  rituals. The Temple of Understanding’s Meditation Room was to be known as the “Hall of Illumination”‘ where the Illuminati, Masters of Wisdom, Our Leaders of  the Temple of Understanding will train the public in the new humanistic cult…to  create a new type of mystic”

The Temple has received full UN accreditation and has been a key actor in the “spiritual” department of the UN. Twelve individuals listed as Directors or  Advisors of the Temple of Understanding are also members of the UN’s Global  Forum councils. Those Forums have received numerous speakers who’ve openly  supported a neo-pagan world religion based on Earth worship. James Lovelock, one  of the speakers mentioned that “Gaia” (an ancient term describing the Earth as a  Goddess) was the giver of life and had the capacity to heal herself. He  describes humans as being cancers to Gaia, an “illness too overwhelming for her  to heal herself”. In other words, humans are parasites to the goddess Gaia.

Al Gore has been a guest several times at the Cathedral of St.John the Divine  where he infamously said “God is not separate from the Earth“. Well, in  Christianity, Judaism and Islam, God IS in fact separate from the Earth (in the  Heavens). If you decipher Gore’s phrase:

God = Earth = Earth is God

Gore has been repeatedly applauded by Pagan groups for his books and  lectures. The Church of All Worlds congratulated the Clinton/Gore victory in  1996 by writing:

“We are Neo-Pagans — implying an eclectic reconstruction of ancient  Nature religions, and combining archetypes of many cultures with other mystic  and spiritual disciplines — and our beliefs and values are no different from  those you describe as your own. Your book, Earth in Balance, is heralded by our  People as a manifesto for all we hold dear…Know that there are half million  NeoPagans out here who support you, and who voted for you, and who will rally to  the aid of your policies for the salvation of the Earth and the reunification of  the Great Family”.

Another member of the board of directors of the Temple of Understanding is Thomas Berry. He believes that the world is being called to a new, “post-denominational”, even a post-Christian belief system that sees the earth  as a living being — with mankind as her consciousness.

Ok, so what the heck does this mean?

If you read my article about the Georgia Guidestones or the Denver International Airport, you’re already aware of  unusual monuments and art placed by powerful yet secretive groups calling for a  new type of global spirituality.  Key words or expressions are often  used to make this religious shift socially acceptable: “Peace” , “balance with  nature” or  ”harmony with the infinite”. How can you be against peace? You  can’t.  Those buzz words hide however the means that will be used to obtain  those objectives:  “Peace” will only happen when all there will be a single  world government. “Balance with nature” will only happen when the world  population will drastically decrease and “harmony with the infinite” will only  happen when the world will give up traditional religions to embrace neo-pagan  humanism.

The St. John the Divine Cathedral acts as a nervous center for the spiritual  side of the global shift. Through numerous forums and UN summits, the Temple of  Understanding reunites leaders from all major religions to devise a  universal message.  This message will later be communicated to  the masses  through local religious networks. In a slow yet steady manner,  all religious faiths are leaning towards the same sets of values and will  eventually converge into humanism.

Interfaith meeting at the Temple of Understanding

An example of this is Madeleine L’Engle’s courses  given inside the Cathedral (she also is  one of the founders of  the Temple). Her teachings include shamanism, out-of-body experiences, astral  projection, Tarot methods of fortune telling, earth worship, psychic abilities,  yoga, Tantric Toga (sexual form of Black Magic) and astrology. Almost all of  those practices have have been severely condemned by Christianity for centuries  yet they are being accepted within the Cathedral. Those types of courses are  being promoted in various religious temples across the world.

But the main value that needs to be globally accepted is  environmentalism. By creating a sense of urgency and fear regarding the  degradation of Nature, it is easy to pass laws that would be otherwise  unpopular, to raise taxes for the sake of environment and to shift the masses’ focus from their respective religions’ laws to the worship of the Earth. People  embracing this New Age spirituality are more likely to accept  controversial projects like Planned Parenthood and eugenics. When Nature is  your religion, you see human life as a parasitic presence and more likely to  rationalize the death of masses of population.

To Conclude

If you have take one thing from this article is that the St. John the Divine Cathedral is not Christian. In fact, it houses the very people that are working  towards the eradication of religions, and they are doing a great job at it. Like I’ve said in the beginning, I do not condemn any faith, whether its Muslim, Christian or Wiccan. All faiths contain wisdom in their teachings. But messing  with people’s faiths and tricking them into worshiping something else is pure, epic, biblical proportions, Cobra from GI Joe, Skeletor from He-Man Evil. Some  say that Satan is the master of deceit. Well, people going to mass into that Cathedral are being deceived in ways they can’t even imagine.

Paul has warned  the Corinthians:

“…for such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves  into apostles of Christ. And no wonder. For Satan himself transforms himself  into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also  transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be  according to their works” -(II Corinthians 11:13-15).

The pillars were blank for many years and it was an on-going project in the nineties to get them sculpted – a number of the sculptors came from different countries. I’ve walked past it many times but never felt inclined to visit since it’s known that the environmental gurus, who share a belief in radical Malthusian population reduction, use this UN sponsored NWO Anglican pulpit to promote their death agenda, Gaia, and Gorbachev and Strong’s Earth Charter which was written to replace the Ten Commandments.

“T.H. Huxley was instrumental in establishing the  organizational infrastructure that would lead to the modern network of institutions devoted to the promulgation of sociopolitical Darwinism. Given his Freemasonic heritage, Huxley probably embraced many of the technocratic Utopian ideas of the Enlightenment. He and            many others probably viewed Darwinism as the scientific foundation for the oligarchical vision that they were hoping to tangibly enact. The crusade for a New World Order is neo-Gnostic in character. All modern sociopolitical Utopians seek to realize the Gnostic vision of an immanentized Eschaton. Communists, fascists, socialists, Transnationalists, Internationalists, and the like constitute secular Gnostics who envision an Eschaton (‘end of days”) within the ontological plane of the physical universe. Darwinism promised to edify the adherents of this vision. Darwinism functions as a Gnostic myth, affirming the Gnostic claim of “self-salvation” with the metaphysical claim of “self-creation.”” Source
