SPECIAL REPORT – Sinister Sites – St. John The Divine Cathedral

The destruction of New York city (including the Twin Towers) sculpted right on the building… Strange occult symbols on the floor… Weird rituals being performed in the sanctuary… Home of the Temple of Understanding which admittedly seeks to instate a new world religion… This cathedral is definitively “different”, as some people might say. But the “difference” lies in the fact that the cathedral is in fact a temple of Neo-Pagan-Bordeline-Satanic-the-Environment-is-more-important-than-human-life beliefs. I personally couldn’t care less about each individual’s beliefs, but to trick unsuspecting church goers into an occult house of worship is nothing less than Evil.

Background and History of the Cathedral

This unfinished building has been claimed as being the world’s largest cathedral. It is realistic to maintain such high aspirations when your sources of funding include tycoons like JP Morgan and prominent figures like the Grand Master of the Masons of the state of New York. The completion of the cathedral was such a prized accomplishment for the Freemasons that it was featured on the front page of “Masonic World” of March 1925.

The article states:

The article openly admits that masonic cathedrals represent the best legacy of the Brotherhood and the symbolism is prominently showcased. The masses are however too ignorant to recognize the meanings behind the art, so they just stare at them, thinking “it’s pretty nice”.

Freemasonry and the Occult

As you might know, Masonry has been, through the ages, the keeper of the “ancient mysteries”, which are occult and esoteric teachings only communicated to the initiates. I will not explain here the mystery religion as it takes several years of studies to get some understanding. I can however say that the occultists draw their teachings from ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Kaballah and Gnostic cultures, who predate by many centuries the Christian era. Secret societies have been forced to hide the true nature of their philosophies in a veil of Christianity to avoid persecution by the Church. Freemasons and their fellow organisms, the Rosicrucian Order and the Knights Templar have all been accused of devil worship and idolatry in Europe.

While many low-level Freemasons may be practising Christians, those looking to reach higher degrees within the Brotherhood are required to study the tenants and the philosophies of the Mystery Religion. Freemasons do not necessarily seek for the world to embrace their brand of spirituality, as it is strickly reserved to the initiates. However, people in high places, who often happen to be Masons are seeking to steer the population towards a “dumbed-down” version of their paganism, as you will read later.

The Symbols

The impressive exterior of the cathedral provokes a humbling sensation at whom gazes at it. But what are you humbling yourself to? We’ll examine the details of the artwork.

1- The Apocalyptic Pillar

On the western facade of the building, stonemasons have sculpted numerous scenes that seem oddly out of place for a Cathedral. The most striking one is the chilling depiction of the destruction of New York city and its landmarks.

		Twin towers
collapsing

 

The scene above
was done in 1997, four years before the destruction of the Twin Towers.  Other
recognizable skyscrapers are the Chrysler Building and the Citigroup
center.

		Apocalyptic New York

 

The
scene above might be unsettling for New York residents. We see the Brooklyn
bridge crumbling with cars and buses falling into agitated waters. At the right
is the Statue of Liberty, which seems to be sinking in the water. Beneath this
horrifying prophecy is the New York Stock Exchange, with people trading goods
around it.

So,
what is the purpose of this weird carving? Well, the first thing that needs to
be mentioned is the actual St. John the Divine is credited for writing the Book
of Revelation in the Bible, which describes in symbolic imagery the events of
the apocalypse. Occultists believe that the Book of Revelation has been
hermetically coded to reveal its true meaning to the initiates of esoteric
teachings. This scene, carved on the west entrance of the cathedral, depicts New
York as being ”Babylon the Great”, the city who gets completely destroyed by the
wrath of God. The Book of Revelation mentions:

The
artists might be on to something because there is indeed numerous similarities
between the actual New York city and the description of Babylon the Great in the
Bible.  The Book of Revelation mentions:
 

1. A
   “Great Prostitute” who sits on many waters – peoples, multitudes, nations and
   languages – holding a golden cup. She rules over the kings of the Earth. =
   The Statue of Liberty
2. Merchants of
   the Earth who grew rich of her “excessive luxuries”, weeping because nobody buys
   their goods anymore = New York Stock Exchange

Knowing that,
still today, over 70% of the world’s capital goes through the NYSE, we
understand why the building was depicted on the apocalyptic pillar. It
represents the “financial” aspect of the Book of Revelation, where it repeatedly
refers to rich merchants and trading goods.

So, a
landmark of NYC, the St. John the Divine Cathedral, predicts in vivid detail the
destruction of its home city. Pretty unusual. Under the rendering of the NYSE,
we a skeleton and strange creatures, who seem to represent death and
destruction. Is this some sort of prophecy?

2- Pagan
Sculpture

		Side of the tired moon

 

		Pretty disgusting body

 

This
sculpture, which basically symbolizes the struggle between Good and Evil,
features numerous elements we can find in paganism: Sun worship, mythical
creatures and sun versus moon duality. Called “Fountain of Peace”, the sculpture
borrows the fantastic, bizarre and distorted art style of the Grotesque. All
sorts of animal creatures are emerging from a smiling sun, which represents the
basic paradigm of Sun Worship (the Sun as giver of life).  The idol points to
the east, an ancient pagan tradition. There is also weird stuff on the sculpture
like a DNA symbol (a DNA symbol also appears at the entrance of the Cathedral).
We all know how genetic modification is as Christian as it gets. We can also
find a quote of John Lennon saying “…one day the world will live as one”. Think
this is spooky? Read on.

Strange
Rituals

A) Procession
of the Ghouls

Every
year, at Halloween, St. John the Divine is the host of a strange event called
“The Grand Procession of the Ghouls”. It is basically a parade taking place
right inside the sanctuary of the Cathedral where people dressed in costumes of
demons, ghouls, monsters and other creepy things, walk around to macabre organ
music. This thing resembles the strange rituals held behind closed doors by
occult groups. Outside of the great number of costumes representing demons and
Satan (already extremely bizarre for a Cathedral), some costumes seem to make a
mockery out of Christianity.

		Does this
look like Jesus crucified to you?

 

Other
pictures:

		A
priest-monster with a evil looking crucifix floating behind him

 

		The "bishop" standing in the pulpit while the ghouls parade

 

Don’t satanic
rituals make fun of Christian rituals by distorting them? Well that’s as
distorted as it can get. Processions are a pagan tradition like the “Procession
of the Prechten” in Germany, which is very similar to the one at St. John the
Divine in many ways.

Perchten in Germany

 

B) The Blessing
of the Animals

Another bizarre
ritual is the Blessing of the Animals that takes place in September of every
year. You have a bunch of animals INSIDE and outside the sanctuary of the
Cathedral “worshiping God” (in their words). Since when do animals read the
Bible and such? They never did. An article published in 1996 by the California
Forestry Association describes the scene:

This
is another pagan ritual, taking place inside a church. Notice the white robes
everybody is wearing.

		Hope this horse won't poop while getting its blessing

 

		This cow is all
worshiped out

 

Did you notice
those white robes? Look at those pictures of other pagan rituals:

		Celebrating
"Lucia"

 

		Pagan
ritual in Greece

 

Notice a
similarity? Yes, white robes! Anyways, this is a video captured during the
actual mass. There are UNCANNY resemblances with pagan rituals.

So we’ve
blessed, horses, monkeys and aunt Sylvia’s poodle dressed like a ballerina. What
is there left to bless? Why not people’s bicycles while we’re at it? Oh crap,
shouldn’t have said that.

C) The
Blessing of Bicycles

I
won’t even talk about this, its is too stupid.

		The environment is our religion and we don't know it yet

 

D) Paul
Winter’s Winter Solstice Celebration



		Can't worship the Sun more than that

 

This
famous New Age musician celebrates the Winter solstice, one of the most ancient
pagan rituals. He says on his website about the consort:

So,
yes he is Pagan, he’s proud of it and he performs inside a cathedral. Here’s a
video of his rendering of “Silent Night”. Tell me who/what is being
worshipped?

The Temple of
Understanding

St.
John the Divine is the headquarters of the Temple of Understanding, an
interfaith effort to steer away people from traditional religions to a hybrid
kind of spirituality based on New Age philosophies, Neo-Paganism and a mix of
organized religions’ traditions. The “friends” who have assisted the founder
Juliet Hollister include John D. Rockefeller II, the XIV Dalai Lama, Pope John
XXIII, Eleanor Roosvelt, UN Secretary-General U Thant, International Planned
Parenthood and the Jewish Theological Seminary. Jean Houston, a New Age guru and
supporter of the Temple of Understanding wrote in her book “Trojan
Horse”:

The
Temple has received full UN accreditation and has been a key actor in the
“spiritual” department of the UN. Twelve individuals listed as Directors or
Advisors of the Temple of Understanding are also members of the UN’s Global
Forum councils. Those Forums have received numerous speakers who’ve openly
supported a neo-pagan world religion based on Earth worship. James Lovelock, one
of the speakers mentioned that “Gaia” (an ancient term describing the Earth as a
Goddess) was the giver of life and had the capacity to heal herself. He
describes humans as being cancers to Gaia, an “illness too overwhelming for her
to heal herself”. In other words, humans are parasites to the goddess
Gaia.

Al
Gore has been a guest several times at the Cathedral of St.John the Divine where
he infamously said “God is not separate from the Earth“. Well, in
Christianity, Judaism and Islam, God IS in fact separate from the Earth (in the
Heavens). If you decipher Gore’s phrase:

Gore
has been repeatedly applauded by Pagan groups for his books and lectures. The
Church of All Worlds congratulated the Clinton/Gore victory in 1996 by
writing:

Another member
of the board of directors of the Temple of Understanding is Thomas Berry. He
believes that the world is being called to a new, “post-denominational”, even a
post-Christian belief system that sees the earth as a living being — with
mankind as her consciousness.

Ok, so
what the heck does this mean?

If you
read my article about the Georgia
Guidestones or the Denver
International Airport, you’re already aware of unusual monuments and art
placed by powerful yet secretive groups calling for a new type of
global spirituality.  Key words or expressions are often used to make this
religious shift socially acceptable: “Peace” , “balance with nature” or
”harmony with the infinite”. How can you be against peace? You can’t.  Those
buzz words hide however the means that will be used to obtain those objectives: 
“Peace” will only happen when all there will be a single world government.
“Balance with nature” will only happen when the world population will
drastically decrease and “harmony with the infinite” will only happen when the
world will give up traditional religions to embrace neo-pagan
humanism.

The
St. John the Divine Cathedral acts as a nervous center for the spiritual side of
the global shift. Through numerous forums and UN summits, the Temple of
Understanding reunites leaders from all major religions to devise a universal
message.  This message will later be communicated to the masses  through local
religious networks. In a slow yet steady manner, all religious faiths are
leaning towards the same sets of values and will eventually converge into
humanism.

		Interfaith meeting at
the Temple of Understanding

 

An example of
this is Madeleine L’Engle’s courses given inside the Cathedral (she also is  one
of the founders of the Temple). Her teachings include shamanism, out-of-body
experiences, astral projection, Tarot methods of fortune telling, earth worship,
psychic abilities, yoga, Tantric Toga (sexual form of Black Magic) and
astrology. Almost all of those practices have have been severely condemned by
Christianity for centuries yet they are being accepted within the Cathedral.
Those types of courses are being promoted in various religious temples across
the world.

But
the main value that needs to be globally accepted is environmentalism. By
creating a sense of urgency and fear regarding the degradation of Nature, it is
easy to pass laws that would be otherwise unpopular, to raise taxes for the sake
of environment and to shift the masses’ focus from their respective religions’
laws to the worship of the Earth. People embracing this New Age spirituality are
more likely to accept controversial projects like Planned Parenthood and
eugenics. When Nature is your religion, you see human life as a parasitic
presence and more likely to rationalize the death of masses of
population.

To
Conclude

If you
have take one thing from this article is that the St. John the Divine Cathedral
is not Christian. In fact, it houses the very people that are working towards
the eradication of religions, and they are doing a great job at it. Like I’ve
said in the beginning, I do not condemn any faith, whether its Muslim, Christian
or Wiccan. All faiths contain wisdom in their teachings. But messing with
people’s faiths and tricking them into worshiping something else is pure, epic,
biblical proportions, Cobra from GI Joe, Skeletor from He-Man Evil. Some say
that Satan is the master of deceit. Well, people going to mass into that
Cathedral are being deceived in ways they can’t even imagine. Paul has warned
the Corinthians:
