It is unfortunate Dan Brown

say that.

In "The Lost Symbol," Dan Brown

describes various Masonic rituals.

While some elements

are based on reality ...

the actual ceremonies

are kept secret.

I will not talk about the methods

recognition ...

a Freemason to another.

I will not give details of the ritual,

not because there is something bad in it ...

but why not talk

about it.

This had better be

of discretion.

It better be done

of confidential and private.

This reenactment was staged

with the help of another Master Mason ...

to better understand the method

their apparent madness.

The candidate is brought into the store,

without knowing how the experience.

The candidate, in the beginning,

can not see the store ...

because the applicant

is blindfolded.

The candidate is led to walk

the store in a particular pattern.

Freemasonry is built

around the initiation rites.

Initiation rituals that are built

around the use of symbols.

Rituals are a tribute

the Masonic origins.

The meaning of Masonic ritual

of course ...

but you must understand that the ritual

Masonic Masons came from real ...

who built the place,

who were architects of his time.

This is the purpose of the ritual.

Keep us connected to the past

and our beliefs.

Secrets and symbols of death.

Scary

or simply misunderstood?

In the book, the villain of Brown

drink wine in a skull.

The Masons have done it?

If candidates drink

in a skull?

Say this happens.

Right?

My response:
"So what?"

The ceremony described

in "The Lost Symbol" ...

was made by a renegade organization

Scottish Rite, in the nineteenth century ...

Ritual is the Cerneau.

There is a report published

this ritual ...

existed for nearly two centuries.

And that's what Dan Brown is based.

There is the ritual used today

in the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction.

The only thing scary ritual

is out of context.

"What my throat

is cut ...

if I break this oath.

That start and open my heart. "

That's just drama.

In the book, a student talks about rumors

bizarre about the Masons.

This is definitely

true.

These people should have the power

and influence ...

and we can not see its influence

what they are doing ...

because they are very good

to keep secret.

They are accused

being reptilian aliens.

They are accused of more things

than any other group.

And I think part of the problem

is that the ritual is kept secret.

Part of the problem is that

until recently ...

the Freemasons do not respond

this kind of thing ...

then saw large targets.

In the book, a Mason talks about the importance

to keep its secrets ...

even under the threat of death.

This is true.

In the twenty--first century, keep their word

is something special.

Right?

We have reality shows

showing that the success ...

depends not keep the word,

to attack the other in the back ...

of not keeping their coalitions.

But it is not so advanced

as a society.

It's not like building

a civilization.

Then one of the points

Masonic secrecy ...

the person is to learn

to keep his word ...

even in small things ...

with the idea that

to help keep the word ...

on more important things.

And as the book portrays ...

although the freemasons keep

a large number of secrets ...

are far from

a secret society.

If Freemasonry

is a secret society ...

we're doing a job

very bad.

We publish schedules of our

meetings on the doors of buildings ...

that have large signs saying:

"Masons are here."

Many of us wear rings,

brooches ...

and other things that we designate

as Masons.

If you are a secret society,

we are doing a lousy job.

As we have seen,

the book took some liberties ...

with the origins

and Masonic rituals.

His portrait of the city landscape

reveals an even darker.

Washington DC,

planned according to the stars?

Pagan images found

on city streets.

The truth behind the fiction

will be revealed.

"The Lost Symbol,"

Dan Brown ...

is rooted within the framework

Washington DC Area.

Botanical Garden

in front of the Capitol ...

where a major character

was taken against her will.

BOTANICAL GARDEN

INITIALIZING GPS

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

The conveyor belt systems

within the Library of Congress.

And the historic mansions

of Kalorama Heights ...

where the villain

draws attention.

Perhaps Brown has established

the story here ...

to take advantage of the characteristics

enigmatic city.

The Washington Monument ...

is like Cleopatra's Needle ...

Egypt is a well--

that appears in the middle of Washington DC.

The monument is an obelisk,

which is an ancient symbol ...

and dates back to Egyptian times.

Basically,

is a giant phallic symbol ...

which also refers

the sun, the masculine.

The book claims that

the Washington Monument ...

is a cornerstone

aluminum, engraved with "Laus Deo" ...

Latin for "praise God.

This is true,

but nobody can see.

The top is a piece

special aluminum.

Aluminum was very valuable

when they concluded the monument in 1886.

I assume now

or at other times ...

would probably be gold.

Brown also writes

that many of the founders ...

practiced the ancient art

of astrology.

This is another fact.

Benjamin Franklin was astrIogo.

In copies of the book

"Poor Richard's Almanack" ...

we can see their various predictions

weather or the people ...

this kind of thing.

Thomas Jefferson,

in your library ...

originally had books

of astrology.

The story is correct.

The American founders

saw astrology as a link ...

between the earthly and the heavenly.

It is also correct when he says

the placement of the cornerstones ...

the Washington Monument,

White House and Capitol Hill ...

was scheduled to take place

the same astrological sign Virgo ...

though they happen

in different years.

In astrology, it is considered

an auspicious moment ...

to start

new ventures.

People wonder why Virgin

have something to do with Washington DC.

It is a constellation.

Well, actually, has to do

with the mythology of the "sacred feminine" ...

war and religion,

can say.

Can be described as pagan

dating back to the Isis of the Egyptians ...

the Persian goddess of femininity,

sexuality, birth.

What the book does not mention

is the sign of Virgo ...

also played an important role

the U.S. Constitution.

It's further proof that

America's founders ...

used astrology

for important decisions.

Virgin has a great influence

with respect to the U.S..

Our Constitution:

September 17th, right?

If you look very important dates,

we see that the Virgin was present.

If the stars align in the sky

with what is on earth ...

have spiritual harmony

and we can accomplish great things.

Under the guidance of Master Masons,

George Washington and Benjamin Franklin ...

the surveyor Frenchman Pierre L'Enfant

designed the capital city of ...

As the book says.

In the book, Brown shows the founders

creating Washington ...

as a realization of enlightenment,
