It is believed that the world economy is controlled by Masons. Who they are, many do not know for sure, in connection with which there are a lot of different legends, speculations and gossip. They are often talked about, envied, accused of all human troubles, and sometimes attributed to the mystical qualities obtained through secret knowledge. But in fact, this is mainly due to the lack of reliable information. It is common for people to explain everything incomprehensible and unknown with the help of magic and mysticism.
The history of the creation of the brotherhood
If we delve into history and use exclusively confirmed facts, then a society of Masons (the union of free masons, as they call themselves) was created in England. In the 12th century, a kind of workshop movement appeared in this European country, consisting of artisans who wore special uniforms and possessed certain privileges due to their high prosperity and position in society.
The prime of the movement is the 15th century. At this time, it was the masons guild that received additional privileges from the king himself. They had the right to free movement within the state, wearing a uniform and were considered representatives of the most influential guild. It was during this period that the term "Masons" appeared. Who are they now, after 6 centuries? This is a question the answer to which is ambiguous.
Supermen or masters of their craft? ..
Throughout the history of society, several prominent architects were members. The most famous among them is Christopher Wren. His most famous work is St. Paul's Cathedral. It is interesting in that traditional columns designed to support the ceiling are simply not reached here. That is, Ren managed to erect the building in such a way that they are not necessary, and they play an exclusively aesthetic role. Thus, the architect proved his level of skill not only to opponents, but to the whole world.
Later, when the fraternity was going through difficult times, not only builders were accepted into it, but also priests, businessmen, as well as representatives of other professions. And they all began to call themselves "Masons." Nobody was interested in who they really were in those days, it was important that the brotherhood survived. Beginners made their contribution to the general cashier, sometimes considerable.
Some historians argue that it was these representatives who entered society in difficult times that later began to control it, transferring power to their own descendants. Thus, now this is far from the fraternity of free masons, who once considered themselves Masons. Who are they now? First of all, people. Yes, it is possible that they possess certain secret knowledge that allow them to manage huge corporations and subordinate to themselves hundreds, thousands and even millions of ordinary citizens. Among them are Europeans, Americans, Jews and Arabs, now there is not a single continent that
does not have its own bed. Masons have their own rules, their own symbols and their own understanding of life. But this does not at all endow them with superhuman qualities. The symbols of Masons are known to many and are often found in everyday life. This is a six-pointed star (the main sign of the Jews), and a radiant delta (known as the all-seeing eye, which is present on
dollar bills and is often used by various religions), and a chess floor, and a hammer, and a compass with a square, identified with earth and sky. There are many of them, and each has its own meaning.
In general, Masons are educated, intelligent people who have certain knowledge and value them. Thanks to their intelligence, diligence, order and other qualities, the members of the fraternity have achieved many earthly goods, including wealth, power and an appropriate reputation.
