Life (the Sephiroth). He notes that the
candidate for this degree wears two

Masonic doctrine.
"The fact that they cross each other,"
Tresner explains, "suggests the unions of
opposites or equilibrium (Ordo Ab
Chao)."5
"In crossing," says Tresner, "they
form an X shape." X, he observes, "is an
ancient symbol for transformation."6
"This degree," Tresner concludes,
"provides a spiritual jolt or jump-start in
preparation for the transformation,
refinement, and redefinition to come."7
Tresner chooses his words very
carefully...and very deliberately. But
Christians who have studied the book of
Revelation will intuit and understand
what he is hinting at. I believe he is

this meaning, so I leave it to you, dear
reader, to discern.
However, the Masonic author of the authoritative Richardson's Monitor of
Freemasonry, no doubt lets the cat out of the bag, so to speak, by detailing how, during
this ritual ceremony for the Degree of Knight of the East and West, the Sacred Word
is given to the assembled members of the Lodge. That sacred word is a shocker: It is
Abaddon.
Yes, Abaddon is the Sacred Word for the Masonic Knights of East and West. And
the Holy Bible reveals exactly who Abaddon is in Revelation 9:11:
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in
the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Creek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
In Richardson's Monitor of Freemasonry it is revealed that, following the
announcement of the sacred word, Abaddon, the Lodge drama for this fateful degree
provides a demonstration "intended to represent the end of the world."8

How very appropriate. How very telling!
X Symbol in the Masonic Lodge
One thing is for sure: The Masonic Order uses the X
not only for the revelatory 17th degree of Knights of
East and West, but for others as well. In the Royal
Arch's Super-Excellent Master's Degree, the First
Sign given is the crossing of the hands over the
breast/chest. This sign refers to the penalty
assessed if any secrets learned are ever divulged.
Then, in the ritual ceremony for the Select
Master Degree, the Second Sign is made by
crossing the hands and arms just below the neck
and dropping them downward quickly. Again, this
is a reminder of the disclosure penalty, which is to
have the body butchered and quartered.
In the ritual for the Intimate Secretary Degree,
an X pattern is employed. Richardson's Monitor of
Freemasonry reveals what happens in the Lodge:
The brethren now fall, each on his right knee, and they cross their hands and hold
them up so that the thumb of the right hand touches the left temple, and the left
thumb the right temple...9
The X as Tumbling Cross and Sex Symbol
In ancient India, the X symbol was equated with the vajra (jewel-phallus). Probably,
this is yet another reason why the Masonic Lodge adopted this symbol for many of
their ritual activities. Masonry is, in fact, a deviant sex cult.
In her interesting encyclopedia called The Woman's Dictionary of Symbols and
Sacred Objects, Barbara Walker calls the symbol the "Cross Saltire" which means
literally "tumbling cross" or a cross performing a somersault. In
this sense, it is decidedly anti-Christ in nature.
The Church of Scientology, New Age in its beliefs, has as its
logo a traditional cross (vertical) integrated with an X, or Cross
Saltire. This is understandable since Scientology is unquestionably
non-Christian.
X as Sign of Death
Finally, as if to signify the somber, ghastly meaning of the letter X in Freemasonry
ritual, pomp and circumstance, it should be noted that upon his death, when the
departed Mason's body is given a Masonic funeral by the assembled brethren, with
his immediate family in attendance, the X again comes into play. The Monitor of the
Work, Lectures, and Ceremonies of Ancient Craft Masonry for the Grand Lodge of the State
"CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE" 209
of New York in part describes the ritual and scene prescribed for funerals as follows:
The funeral honors are given by extending the hands toward the grave with the
palms up, the brethren repeating in unison:
'To the grave we consign the mortal remains of our deceased brother.'
The arms are then crossed over the breast, the left above the right, the fingers
touching the shoulders...10
You'll find among the photos and illustrations in this section one of horror
novelist Stephen King seeming to emulate exactly this funeral procedure of crossing
the arms (X), the fingers touching the opposite shoulder. Is King, the master of death
literature, in fact taking on the image of death, the grim reaper? Does King believe
that this publicly displayed ritual act by him confers on the famous novelist the "raw
spiritual energy" mentioned by Masonic authority Jim Tresner, 33°?
X—The Egyptian Connection
From what source do the Masons draw for this funeral symbolism of the X? In my
book, Dark Majesty, I explain the Egyptian connection:
In ancient Egypt, the mark of "X" and the symbol of cross-bones in the symbol of
an X was very prominent in religious contexts. You can find the X on the walls of a
number of ancient Egyptians temples and pyramids...It is the sign of Osiris, the
great sun god...
The ancient pharaohs, when they were buried, had the legs crossed in the form of
"X" as a sign of devotion to Osiris.''
Today, as in ancient Egypt, Osiris the sun god is worshipped; now the homage
and veneration comes from the Masons and their fellow Illuminists. These confused
and perverted men mistakenly believe they are illumined (enlightened) by their solar
deity, the Great Architect, Jahbuhlun, or Lucifer.
They have even arranged for Osiris' watchful eye, the all-seeing eye, to be
pictured on each and every U.S.A. one dollar bill. It is the eye in the capstone
surrounded by the rays of the sun announcing to the whole world the coming of a
New Age, a New World Order (Novus Ordo Seclorum).
What a grand surprise these wicked men have in store for them when Jesus
Christ, Lord of Lords, returns. II Thessalonians 2 says that the opposers of Christ—the
leaders of Illuminati and their hordes of rapt followers — shall be utterly destroyed by
the brightness of His coming. Until that great and momentous day, the pitiful men of
the Illuminati shall continue to wallow with each other in the mire and muck. They
will continue communicating the sign of X, the sign of their silly, fanciful god, all the
while cursing the darkness rather than lighting a candle. Men blinded for all eternity
by their rejection of the True Light.

Larry Summers, Secretary of the Treasury in the second term of the Bill Clinton Administration,
signals to his associates in the Illuminati elite the strength of their Order. We see first his crossed "X"
hand position, the left hand path dominant. Then there is the pillar of strength of Jaquin and Boa/
origins, and finally the black and white checkered "tresrleboard" upon which he stands, the science of
polar opposites, the Hegelian dialectic, the high Masonic principle of equilibrium. Summers is
currently President of Harvard University.
