Honestly, I haven't read any of Waite's texts. I know he was an avid researcher, and well versed in symbology—hence the Rider/Waite tarot deck.

How do you feel about the practical occult knowledge and/or scholarship of Arthur E. Waite?
As to his texts on magick, my take is that he wrote them as a researcher documenting the results of his research, and not that he was a practitioner of the same, nor that he endorsed it. I think it was more like "some people believe THIS" and he tried to make sense of it out of intellectual curiosity.

... I sincerely hope that other members here at ATS see through your willful deceit and YOUR SECRET SOCIETY AGENDA TO BLOCK THE TRUTH.
I have just had to ask the MODS to close another ATS thread in this same forum section due to you and your Accolytes derailing it with your obsessive Masonic Jibberish.

Go get a life or hide behind your apron. You are not welcome in my company...
This is NOT what this thread is about...
And the fact that you and your heinous "brothers" are totally obsessed with your sect and ready to stoop to anything to advance its agenda...
I pity you...
..enjoy how cleaver you are..
As researchers have focused on blending animal attributes with human characteristics, the Reuters news agency published a report in 2009 in which scientists admitted their comfort with a “50/50 mix.”
“The public mostly is still under the impression that this is being done at the embryonic level, and that the amount of human DNA in a transgenic animal is so minute as to be excusable,” says Horn.
“But where they want the debate to go now is, ‘Can we raise these to full maturity in the public’s knowledge and experiment on part-humans, part-animals that are fully grown?’ And by admitting that that’s now where they want the public to be comfortable with this research, they also said that they knew that there are some rogue scientists out there that are not operating with federal dollars, and they’re getting ahead of them in this technology and it could even become a new kind of a weapon of mass destruction. It could, at a minimum, become a molecular biological nightmare.”
But why is there such a strong push for animal traits?
It might be desirable for some, says Horn, because, “Animals can also see into areas of the light spectrum that we cannot see into, and that is viewed in transhumanism as a future benefit and even one of the causal reasons we would want to merge ourselves with the animal kingdom so that we can open these new modes of perceptions into realities that right now we are blinded to.”
Such abilities could provide a huge military advantage, and Horn says for more than a decade, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has been pouring billions into research for what it calls “the extended performance warfighter,” also known as “supersoldier” technology.
“The interesting parts about the extended performance warfighter is that it even includes literally altering the DNA of soldiers,” he says.

DARPA calls its project “BioDesign,” and in its 2011 budget, the agency explains it “eliminates the randomness of natural evolutionary advancement primarily by advanced genetic engineering and molecular biology technologies to produce the intended biological effect.”
Horn says the real purpose has to do with immortalism.
“DARPA has an interest in figuring out how to get around the decaying process of cellular life, and they use the term creating an immortal organism,” he explains. “But it’s more than just an organism. They consider it to be potentially a lethal force that can be used in military application.
“Wired Magazine actually referred to it as a living, breathing creature. And DARPA admits that the force of this living creature, this immortal organism, could be so potent that it ought to also have what they call a ‘kill switch’ introduced into its organism so that in case it gets out of hand, we could throw the switch and stop it, or if it became available to our enemies, we could throw the switch and stop it.”
Horn says top minds at the Pentagon are marching humanity in this direction, even if it’s meant for self-defense.
“They were talking about this kind of technology in the hands of our enemies, and what they were saying was, ‘We have to get at the forefront of this technology,’” he explains. “See, this is how we’re going to be forced into this. It’s not a matter of whether we should or whether it’s ethical. We have to do it, because if we don’t, our enemies will, and then they’re going to subjugate us to their will.”
Horn points out just one the dangers of combining human and animal DNA is the potentially toxic effect it could have on our food supply.
“Very quickly we could have a human form of Mad Cow Disease,” he says. “If you’re sitting in a restaurant eating goat cheese that contains human DNA, we don’t know what the impact of that is going to be on a human. We certainly know what it did to cows and the kinds of brain diseases it created in them when they were eating their own DNA.”
“Make no mistake, this is an irreversible technology,” Pusztai said. “It is no good 50 years later to say: ‘We should have known.’”
So We Already Mix Human & Animal DNA? UK Urges Oversight
July 23, 2011 4:56 PM EDT
The UK Academy of Medical Sciences urged oversight and caution for scientific experiments involving the mixing of human and animal DNA.
What can happen if scientists push the boundary too far?
“The fear is that if you start putting very large numbers of human brain cells into the brains of primates suddenly you might transform the primate into something that has some of the capacities that we regard as distinctively human speech,” said Academy of Medical Sciences member Thomas Baldwin as an example.
"These possibilities that are at the moment largely explored in fiction we need to start thinking about now,” he added.
So far, mixing human and animal DNA have produce useful medical results. For example, testing medical treatments on animals that have received human DNA and cells have helped advance solutions for stroke and Down syndrome patients, reported Reuters.
However, other scientists are pushing the boundaries, or thinking of doing so.
For example, a team at UK’s Newcastle University injected empty cow eggs with human DNA in 2008. Back in 2005 in California, scientists created mice with a small amount of human cells for their brains and nervous systems.
US scientists are mulling the creation of a mouse with more human cells in its brain, but they haven’t pulled the trigger.
The UK researchers recommended a government appointed body of experts to regulate such research in this sensitive and controversial area.

THEY are waging war against our immune systems and killing us for their god Mammon. Cancer is a multi-billion dollar industry, prevention doesn't sell. I wouldn't be surprised if Military so-called Intelligence is behind these 'experiments' mixing human and animal genetics...

But to say that there is not Luciferic Ideology contained in Freemasonry is insane. The profane are reading up on the Lodges, they are using the words of the written teachings of freemasonry, and they deserve credit for seeking knowledge with a skeptical mind--Im confused as to how a man could ignore their own faith in G.A.O.T.U.(the Great Architect of the Universe)
Also, ALL Freemasonry is rooted in Hebaru Mysticism-
All Freemasonry is Socialist (or more acuratly--humanist-the idea that man is God) in nature.
All Freemasonry has 2 threads. Operative (exoteric) and Speculative (esoteric).
I expect some of the members (penis joke) understand this, and some do not. But to blatheringly defend your opinion without stating this these claims are true--sounds like an obvious lie, to anyone coming to this board for "truth".
We know a leopard by their spots.

Each mason must have a belief in God. what they call him is not important. But God is who they are referring to. It's our belief that Allah, Jahova, God, all the other names that religions have adopted are speaking of the same entity. A single all knowing, all powerful, earth creating God.
