A Picture of Albert Pike

The Ancients and Astrology

Greetings Everyone, and welcome back to our weekly study and opinion of Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma. We are continuing om with chapter 25 where Pike is writing about the ancients astrological beliefs. This section is more decriptive and not necessicarily giving me much room for much opinion. Pike is schooling us regarding what exactly was and not really leaving much to decipher. So, I will “get out of the way” as it is, and copy and paste just Pike’s text here for the next 4-5 paragraphs. Before I do so, let me relay some news from Universal Freemason.

A Tendency To Go in a Particular Direction

Greetings and welcome back to our study and opinion of Albert Pike’s “Morals and Dogma” as we continue chapter 26! As we continue this chapter, we will find Pike commenting upon the fascinating forces of nature that rule the direction and tendencies in which we are are bound to. Without any more delay, LET’S READ PIKE! The greatest mysteries in the Universe are those which are ever going on around us; so trite and common to us that we never note them nor reflect upon them. Wise men tell us of the laws that regulate the motions of the spheres, which, flashing in huge circles and spinning on their axes, are also ever darting with inconceivable rapidity through the infinities of Space; while we atoms sit here, and dream that all was made for us . They tell us learnedly of centripetal and centrifugal forces , gravity and attraction, and all the other sounding terms invented to hide a want of meaning. There are oth...
