MEDIEVAL LEGACY

The Templars

"has appeared a new cavalry in the land of the Incarnation. It's new, say, and has not yet been tested in the universe in which she develops a fight double. On the one hand against the opponents of the flesh and blood and another in the skies, against the spirit of evil. And I do not think it's wonderful, because I find it strange that these gentlemen are facing the enemies body with his bodily strength. But to combat the power of the spirit against the vices and demons, why not just call it wonderful, but worthy of all praise due to the religious. "
Bernard of Clairvaux

(Founder of the Temple)

If Templar project architects had thought about what history would say of them, possibly they had paid more attention to leave constancy of the dimension of his legacy. But it may be that precisely because they knew they would speak of them, was why I got a genuine commitment not only knew nothing of his movements secret. This means that many people are still considered one of the many military orders which existed at that time as they were the Hospitallers of St. John Hospitaller Brothers Teutonic. This does not do them justice. Because they were much more than that. But let history be telling you who they really were and that each draw their own conclusions.

A story of light and shade

was in 1118 when he pronounced his vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to the Patriarch of Jerusalem, the expedition sent to the Holy Land Payns Hugo, Mr. de Montigny and officer of the House of Champagne, in front of it, with the not inconsiderable task of protecting the roads and pilgrimage sites of Christianity. All this would be very normal if not for this group consisted of only nine people. Can anyone believe that these gentlemen were sufficient in number to carry out this task? Our opinion is no. That this was only the pretext that those who had had to allow their stay in those lands. They actually had in mind something else. And very good recommendations should have for newcomers to Jerusalem, quickly obtained permission to install anything less than the Al-Aqsa mosque, which until then had been the official residence of King Baldwin II, in the Muslim part of town. Donations soon multiply and nine newcomers to end up doing with all the mosque compound, including the Dome of the Rock or Mosque of Omar.

is clear that the monk Bernard of Clairvaux, who pulls the strings of the whole operation, fails to Hugo, or your Uncle Andrew of Montbard, to guard the roads. Neither seems to be the reason for the Bologna Eustace and Hugh of Champagne leave all their wealth and join the expedition Templar. During the years 1118 and 1128 did not participate in any battle. For more than urge the danger they refrained from engaging in combat. Remained alone and did not recruit anyone at all. Despite this, continued to occupy the site of Solomon's Temple. What I did was dig in underground stables. What why? This mystery has only one explanation, finding the Ark of the Covenant and the Tablets of the Law of Moses. As sacred relics seem to contain more than a magical power in themselves, a knowledge of tremendous importance that the knights knew or sensed where he was. But we will talk on that later.

The truth is that most of the group returned to Champaign in 1128, leaving only three men in Palestine. Had he fulfilled the mission? Did they find the Ark? Mission remain secret, also should be its success or failure. But this year is called the Council of Troyes where Bernardo authorizing the preparation of the seventy-two items that composed the Rule of the Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem, or the Templars. Of these, only ten items were of a military nature, which says a lot about his real target was none other than the spiritual. In the preamble to the rule, inspired the San Benito, shows that the first mission has been fulfilled. At nine knights imposed by the white habit. For others, the habit should be black. The Red Cross, which would be on the right shoulder, Pope Eugenius III granted in 1147. From here there is a real explosion that projects to the Knights Templar throughout Europe and Palestine in a unstoppable. The recruitment started immediately. Payns Hugo, which was officially the first Grand Master of the Order, came to England to recruit people to Jerusalem and in 1130 returned to the Holy Land with an army.

Soldiers and donations are multiplied. Was sparked a passion for monastic knighthood. The Order becomes enormously rich. It is estimated that in 1270 the Templars had in France, nearly a thousand of parcels as well as countless farms. In 1307 it is possible to fold the number of possessions.

East and West

During his first visit to the East, the Templars come into contact with a group that, installed in the fortress of Alamut and led by who calls the Old Man of the Mountain, would become an important link Secrets of the Temple purposes. We refer to the order of haschischín Ismailis, whose pronunciation assured the adjective Murderers. True, they were feared for his skill with the knife and practiced beheading. But we are sure that is the same beheading that is expressed in numerous sculptures cathedral, where the individual is seen holding his own head. In other words, refers to a symbolic beheading, probably psychological. Although the historiography mentions nothing about his mood was particularly ruthless murderer with those inner demons that plague humans. In short, the Murderers knew what they were doing. Both orders appear in the eyes of history as traced from one another, not only in the inner workings of the military, but in their spiritual approaches. And do not coincide in their structures because they imitate each other, but because their beliefs were derived from the same secret doctrine from Egypt. But one thing is clear. If the order Ismaili, linked to the Shiites, that existed before the Temple, would not think that was the Christians who adopted the ways of the Ismailis? It appears so. And this showed that the feeling was syncretic Templar, seeking to unify beliefs were in fact universal. Coming from the same cradle and preach identical assumptions, was and is absurd to break up something that should be united. Such good intentions today deserve the nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. However, this linkage with Muslims, the Templars also entailed great contempt and resentment among those who are branded as traitors to the Christian cause.

back to what we are concerned, the matter is that the Temple did not find anything by accident. Bernardo knew what he was doing. In something that must be an Insider influence at the highest Druidic mysteries known as "the last Druid." We know that for some time existed Druids Bishops, in their monasteries, unified druidic teachings of Christianity. He already knew all the mysteries surrounding the Spirit, so imagine not interested in obtaining material treasures, as and walked on to other less perishable wealth. Rather, it sounds to us that their intentions were to unify East and West. Out the best in each culture for the good of the Great Cause, God's Work. As at the time were the Cathars, the bons homes in the south of France, the Templars reneged on what material they considered the most impure and imperfect world. This ideal of poverty is well represented on his shield, where you can see two men sharing the same frame. And if it devoted to hoard wealth and power, should be, at least so it seems to us to us to ensure the independence of their role and promote the establishment of a government Synarchism, where civil and was united religious. Add more. The Cathars did not conceive of Jesus as God but as an incarnation of itself to the Earth, at a time and a particular place, as others had been before him, and the figure of Mary Magdalene acquired for them a very important role . Which, of course, very powerful enemies brought them eventually to disappear, in flames of dogmatism and ignorance. And we understand that this interest in Magdalena is the cause of the abundant black virgins are always associated with these monks, knights.

search True proclaimed by Bernardo, lay not in knowing the location of sacred relics, or find a more than debatable offspring of Jesus and to Christianize the people of Islam and serving the Christian monarchies of Jerusalem. All this seems rather an afterthought. A smokescreen to divert attention from their true intentions. Everything indicates that the secret goal of the Temple was more designed to extract, share and explore the knowledge that give the holder the necessary tools to embody within itself the divine. And we fear that all that is related to the mysterious figure of Baphomet. The above item halfway between human and animal, shows the same duality that chairs the the Milites Templi. A Temple and Temple teaches that hidden. That is, within the Order itself not everyone knew the secrets he shared the inner circle of initiates. In fact, if part of the Templar ranks participated in several battles during the Crusades, as happened in Acre, Gaza and Jerusalem, he did rather to serve as social and religious cover the innermost group of the Order, which deep insight about the existence allowed to fight against "infidels" inside, these psychological defects that the Egyptians called Seth's Red Devils. Some say that the creature's name comes from the Greek baphé (baptism) and weather (initiation). Other decipher the name on TEM OH PAB. Ie "Templi Omnium Hominum Paci Abbas." Or what is the same, the "Father of the Temple of Peace of All Men." We stayed with another interpretation seems closer to what should actually be. One that defends the derivation of the Arabic expression, abufihamat, in Castilian is pronounced bufihamat, meaning "Father of Understanding." In Sufism, el-fahmat expression means "head knowledge." In any case, the figure appears to be associated with the sexual instinct that initiatives must be submitted, linking this education to the myth Greek Pan and Dionysus. As we see, there is plenty to talk and not enough space for both.

a foregone conclusion

With Felipe IV, who was only of "Beautiful" which was seen on the outside, the Machiavellian farce begins the trial of the Templars. The king was seen coming for some time, because debt up to his eyebrows and suspicious of the power he had acquired the Temple, did not lack air to organize one of the most appalling judicial plots known in history. And as Pope Clement V had been placed in that position through the influence of the French king, needless to add that the pope was totally linked to the decisions and manipulations of the monarch, since he agreed to move the Holy See to Avignon. And so, lie about lying, it weaves the web that is closing on the Order. But we would be naive if we thought that the men were alien to all that was afoot. Completed the 22 Grand Masters of the Temple, (not coincidental that the number matches with the 22 mysteries of Tarot), knew that their task was accomplished and that the time had come. Furthermore, about fifteen thousand men in Europe, doubt anyone heard, or knew nothing of the evil that was up to those French. When the Inquisition ordered the arrest of senior Templars, a September 14 of 1,307, the knights are delivered without any resistance. Why be surrendered meekly like warriors, if not because it was just what should happen? But the strangest thing is that the money that Philip IV sought with such longing, had disappeared. Where was the treasure?


The interrogation ended with the indictment, torn by force of torture, some gentlemen. Already said the speech released by the ecclesiastical judges: Deus volt God willing. And is that the inquisitors of the Church, before anyone knew what God wanted. Well he knew. Those who yield to such unspeakable torture and accept false accusations, are imprisoned or executed. What would be the last Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, who was never tortured, he was imprisoned until March 18, Year of Our Lord 1314, he joined the tongues of fire. And the unexpected occurs. The curse Master launches the monarch and the Pope does not leave anyone indifferent. De Molay secure from the pile of firewood that was going to move to another world, the "Holy Father" would die within forty days, while "Beautiful" I predicted a year of life. And the hands of fate, if not of revenge Templar make this prediction is fulfilled. If we believe what they describe Matilde Asensi Iacobus his extraordinary novel, we will accept that following intestinal infection leading to death Clement V, hides poisoning. And in the death of Philip IV while practicing deer hunting, there would be no accident, although it seems. In any case, the two most responsible for the dissolution of the Order of the Temple, is the face they saw in the other world with those who ordered murder.


The great search
If we maintain the assumption that the real goal of the Temple was not to seek holy grail, then we will stay with the other option we've been hinting at throughout the paper. That shows us the Templars like links in a search string of Knowledge, that brings the past echoing voices. And so long is that string, which we know nothing with certainty of his home if it were not, in granting that it exists, gives us for thinking that at some point he had started. We also think that if truly dedicated to finding these relics, it was not as an end in itself but as part of that link that back to the beginning of everything.

All traditions speak of something that was lost or disappeared. These are all cases of an allusion to the spiritual darkening, that under cyclic laws, came in the course of human history. It would therefore Loss of a primordial state and a tradition which is nothing but the knowledge of that state. And watch where the tenants of the Temple of Jerusalem, are looking for not what, that could well be related to the spiritual state by right to be human. We said that the Templars did not consider Jesus as God, but as a human being who embodied it in due course. It follows that the Gnostic teaching that they were to look to the Holy Land, focuses on practical ways to transcend the human in us to go, gradually, leaving no place in our inner divinity. Do we understand now the reason for their secrecy? What other power may be greater than that? Is it in Egypt, the highest teachings were not out of reach of the majority? Kabbalists Do not coded Hebrew Scriptures, so that only those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, the could understand? Did not Jesus spoke to his inner circle with clarity and transparency, while others did in the form of parables? Conditions had to be put to staff, so that only those pure of heart and mind could gain access to knowledge. Why is it that most do not seek, nor longs for, nor understands the supreme gnosis. And satisfied with living in self-deception, clinging to an illusory world and fictitious.

should not be casual, because nothing in this story is that the steps of the warrior-monks come and go near where stones are symbolic, indicating much more than it seems. Looking back in time, we found guarding the Shetiyyah, the Rock who served the divinity in order to draw the circle of creation and now is under the Mosque of Omar. It is also interesting to note that in the Kaaba in Mecca lurks another rock from which Muhammad ascended to heaven. Jesus part of this solid mystery when he tells Simon, "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church. Arriving to Moses, is in stone left by the Ten Commandments on the tablets of the Law as final and provisional, or first, depending how you look, our particular journey, we arrive at Ancient Egypt, where Hermes Trismegistus, the god Ibis Toth, also gave to record your message in the Stone of the Emerald Tablet. Are not too many "stones"? Is it a coincidence that the medieval alchemists also devote their lives to get just a philosopher's stone? Is it also coincidence that the Camino de Santiago, which the Templars were responsible for promoting and use, was full of strange signs recorded in rock?

not we who crossed out all this coincidence of history. Because they are not. Instead, we affirm without a doubt, that the gentlemen who are dealing with today were the innovators of Gnostic knowledge in the West, and which of them went to the Guild of Master Builders of Cathedrals. So you can find in these religious buildings, if you know how to look, all that the Order removed during its 194 year history. Connoisseurs say that the Portico de la Gloria in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, contains much of that legacy Gnostic much effort into that good people woke up the Temple. That same knowledge led to the emergence of various philosophical currents that swept Europe. Masons Theosophists, Rosicrucians and Gnostics, they only drink from that fountain of knowledge. Anyone can wish wealth more valuable? Still, those who continue thinking about the existence of this supposed treasure of gold and silver brought from the East and swollen in Europe by the Templars skills in finance, to continue investigating because they may end up giving him. But it is very possible that there is such a treasure. And that was another wake up more to cover the greed of others and distract the public.

What they are saying good dealers do not seem to be precisely, at least in some cases, they reached a fertile land swap and high productivity, other whose strategic and commercial interest was zero. This demonstrates, once again, that it was an economic motive which moved to the Order. But it so happens that many of those land parcels contained in their places of worship in ancient traditions. We note again that characteristic of wanting to respect and share the wisdom of the ancestors. Is this a proper attitude of ignorant and vulgar people as they consider some? And in those enclaves Templars different elements come together to help us connect with nature and the Collective Unconscious. There are subtle energies, telluric and magnetic trigger predisposed individual psyche and ready to begin the journey interior. They are places where flows what the Hindus call prana and scientists negative ions, which are highly beneficial for physical and mental health. Places like these there are several in Spain, one of the most important in the chapel of St. Bartholomew, in Soria. In short, that it so desired by them was not physically anywhere. Rather, the treasure is found within each. And only those willing to sacrifice everything for their conquest, they will enjoy the wonderful reward that is obtained as one sees flashes of the spiritual gold. As salam alay-kum. Peace be with you.
