Knights Templar: Uncovering Ancient Secrets of Atlantis and Gnosticism

Origins and Early Discoveries

• 💡 The Knights Templar, founded in 1096 by Huda Paynees and Godfreda St. Omar, were initially driven by a belief in a highly advanced civilization that predated a great flood, possibly Atlantis.
• 🗺️ Their journey took them from France to Constantinople, where they were initiated into a tradition by the "Brothers of the East" and tasked with a mission to Jerusalem.
• 🏛️ In Jerusalem, granted land next to the ruins of King Solomon's Temple, the nine knights spent nine years on archaeological work, uncovering artifacts and texts that hinted at this ancient civilization.

Templar Discoveries and Symbolism

• ✝️ The Templars adopted the equal-armed cross, a symbol found on ancient Sumerian tablets associated with the Anunnaki, as their primary emblem.
• 📜 They sought out and preserved Greek and Roman texts, including those of Plato, which revealed the name of the advanced civilization as Atlantis.
• 🔍 Excavations in Egypt, particularly at the Temple of Isis at Edfu, provided further evidence of this civilization and its cataclysmic end.
• 🤝 The Templars developed a rule for their organization with the help of St. Bernard of Clairvaux and Rashi, a renowned Kabbalist, structuring their work of research and knowledge preservation.

Templar's Role and Knowledge Preservation

• 🚢 The Templars evolved into the first multinational corporation, managing farmers, sea captains, scribes, and stonemasons to transport people and translate texts.
• 🏗️ They built over a thousand Gothic structures, incorporating architectural elements that preserved their findings, including concepts from the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
• 💎 They discovered artifacts resembling the Ark of the Covenant, described as electrical capacitors, and a mysterious white powder (mana) with healing and consciousness-stimulating properties.
• 🧭 The Templars were among the first to use the magnetic compass, believed to be a remnant of the ancient civilization, enabling exploration of new territories.

Esoteric Texts and Gnostic Connections

• 📖 The Templars discovered texts like the Zohar, a foundational Kabbalistic work, which provided insights into cosmology, the Earth's rotation, and its orbit around the sun.
• 🌟 They established trade routes to the Americas centuries before Columbus, bringing knowledge of the New World back to Europe.
• 🧠 The Templars adopted Gnostic philosophies, believing in direct personal divine revelation (gnosis) and the concept of a higher self, influencing their architecture and symbolism.
• 🗝️ They incorporated the Seal of Arais, a Gnostic talisman, into their symbolism, representing stages of initiation from material enslavement to higher consciousness.

Templar's Downfall and Legacy

• ⛪ The Templars' embrace of Gnostic ideas and their association with groups outside Roman Catholic dogma led to accusations of heresy and their eventual suppression in 1307.
• 🔢 They analyzed numeric codes within biblical texts, interpreting symbols like the Hebrew letter 'Tav' (cross) and the number 666 not as demonic, but as symbols of transformation.
• 🕊️ Their mystical interpretations of texts, bridging Jewish Kabbalah and Christian Gnosticism, fostered close associations within Europe, laying groundwork for future esoteric traditions.
