The use of the Term, “Dawning of a New Day” is in fact, a Masonic reference that pretty much, in the 1970’ and 80’s, only Masons used. It is the “Dawn of a New Day,” the title of the Video I purchased from Jordan Maxwell in 1989-90 which was all about this subject and included a showing of many flags of the world, with the New Day dawning. The 16th through 18th century Masons are responsible for bringing in the age of enlightenment, which they refer to as the “Dawning of a New Day.” Next, are the references to knowledge and degrees of secrecy. Freemasonry is based on “degrees” and it’s these degrees one moves up the ladder of, which allow more secrets to be revealed to the “initiate.” And finally, the “Old Order” refers to the Old World Order and how the Masons are building a “New World Order.” Personally, I feel Wasson did a tremendous service to the world by doing everything he did. Whether the Masons or the CIA put him up to it, and if either one did, then they should be given credit. I believe in the end, more good than harm will be the result of it and in fact, I believe we have already seen that. It can easily be argued that the heightened consciousness of the 1960s brought about an unfolding of compassion in the world, of love and tolerance which did not exist previously and the introduction of new progressive ideas in art and culture, multi-racial appreciation, the rights of women as well as a newfound appreciation of the earth and our environment. Henry Munn, in the Mushrooms of Language essay writes: “The day that dawns is that of a new world in which there is no longer any need to walk to where you go.” (60) Once again, this is a Masonic quote. People who are not “in the know” simply do not use these terms or understand their implications, either. In another part of Mexico, just west of Mexico City live the Matlatzinca people who (as of 1980) were reduced to only about 2500, living in a single village called San Francisco Oxtotilpan. Their language is unique to the area, belonging to the Otomi linguistic heritage. They have traditionally called the mushrooms “little saints,” santitos. The people who eat them there claim that “tiny beings appear to them the size of card kings.” (61) According to the book by the same name, the word Teonanacatl means “god-mushroom.” Teo or Deos means god: “The Dictionaire de la Langue Nahuatl ou Mexicaine, published in 1885, clearly points out the meaning of nanacatl: Nanacatl, “mushroom”; guauhtl-nanacatl, “mushroom of the forest”; teonanacatl, “species of little mushroom of bad taste, intoxicating, hallucinogenic”; teyhuinti, “intoxicating”; teyhuinti-nanacatl, “intoxicating mushroom.” (62) |
Before we move on from this section, I wanted to add a final word about human sacrifice. I found a most illuminating paragraph from an article titled, Aztec Cannibalism: An Ecologic Necessity? From Science May 12, 1978. The article is an argument in favor of the idea of cannibalism among the Mayans and Aztecs by arguing that this was part of their “nutrient rich” diet. The only paragraph worth mentioning is when the author, Bernard R. Ortiz de Montellano, brings up the notion of psilocybin mushrooms being the sole cause for the eating of human flesh. Now, I encourage people to read carefully and learn from this example: “Sacrificial victims were believed to have become sacred. Eating their flesh was the act of eating the god itself. This communion with superior beings was an important aspect of Aztec religion. Their ingestion of psychotropic plants is explained in this way (46). The name for the Psilocybes species of mushroom translates flesh or mushroom of the gods, which lends support to this concept. (63) Many of the victims sacrificed in the ceremonies described in book 2 of the Florentine Codex are specifically described as human images or “impersonators” of the various gods (13). Duran mentions that the Aztecs held human flesh to be divine and that the flesh of the sacrificed victims was eaten as if it were something from heaven. (64) Communion, in conjunction with a belief in the real presence (which some Christian religions practice), is no different in symbolism to the actions of the Aztecs in consuming what they considered to be the flesh of the gods.” This is then followed up with the statement: “There is no doubt that ritual cannibalism took place in Central Mexico. The extent of this sacrifice and the proportion of the population eaten is more debatable.” (65) I don’t know if it’s necessary to add anything to this. In fact, as far as human sacrifice, and eating the victims and conceiving of this possibility, I could probably rest my case at this juncture. The idea is becoming humorous to me as time goes on and the more info I collect.
