Dissipation Of The Darkness – History Of The Origin Of Freemasonry

Mysterious Force, except in what concerned the degrees, the signs, the instruments and the other
characteristics of our Association. The symbol of these must be two hands interlocked: Union and
Collaborator.
The oath of these brotherhoods must be synthesized in the following text:
“I, John Doe, Son of John Doe, swear by God, my creed and my honor, to unite myself to
my brothers of the Association (whatever brotherhood} with everything they desire to
realize, to collaborate with them and to be as one heart with them until death.” .
With this decree we ended the session, each one of us obtaining a copy of the aforementioned
oath. Each one of us left then, in his respective direction, resuming our work without neglecting
our original, first task.
Such was our march in the path of the battle, rapidly establishing several brotherhoods with
different names: “The Jewish Brotherhood,” “The National Union,” “The Religious
Collaboration,” “The Religious Obligation,” etc. These brotherhoods made great progress
thanks to the will of the leaders whom we selected as founders. These were the only ones who
knew the relationship existing between the brother-hoods and our association. In the majority of
cases, they were wealthy men. With their material aid, the number of affiliates in their
brotherhoods increased and their number surpassed ours. We appreciate them immensely, in the
name of religion and in the name of the nation. Their name and ours will be immortalized in
History until the end of time.

The member founders fulfilled their tasks everywhere. They received orders from King Agrippa
to battle, to sacrifice themselves, to disseminate the doctrine, to increase the number of Temples
and Brotherhoods, to battle strictly the preachers of the Impostor. This campaign was arranged by
the two great men: King Agrippa and Hiram Abiud, who will be remembered gloriously until the
end of time, because with this Association they revived an entire nation, surpassing their
ancestors in the defense of the religion.
Those (the ancestors) persecuted and killed the Impostor, crucifying him, but these two great
thinkers created a work that never crossed the mind of any man. Those killed some of Jesus’ men;
these, on the other hand, performed great marvels by their secret efforts and by their strict orders,
killing hundreds of those confused confusers.
At this height of our battle, while we, the nine, and the other members of the central Temple and
the other Temples were at the peak of the fighting, our president, the King, contracted an illness
in his sight, and became blind within five days. Then he was attacked in his body, and became
completely paralyzed. But in spite of his sufferings he did not relax in reanimating our spirits to
