Pre-Article Disclaimer for Newer Readers: If you are reading this blog for the first time or are not totally familiar with my work, I am a 100% Christian writer who analyzes things from a Christian point of view. I sometimes research into what the spiritual forces of evil are up to in hopes of gleaning information to help us Christians figure out what is going on or to figure out what Satan has planned. You can read more about why I dare consider these unbiblical sources at the following link Now on to the article...
I admit that do not know a lot about the conspiracy theories relating to the Freemasons although I know a lot of people are highly suspicious of the Freemasons. However, I suspect that people who know a lot about the Freemasons may not know that New Age priestess Alice Bailey (who worked under the direction of an Ascended Master-a type of spiritual being mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”-named Djwhal Khul) had a leadership position within the Freemasons, wrote extensively about the Freemasons, and her husband Foster Bailey was a 33rd degree Freemason.[1]
Today I am simply reporting/summarizing information about what Bailey wrote concerning Freemasonry and providing some thoughts on what her statements may mean in context of what may happen in the future. You can decide what to glean and what not to glean from the information and analysis I present today.
- For those of you who are experts on the Freemasons: I hope the information I report has some value to you.
- For those of you who are Freemasons: I hope you consider the information I report fairly. I am merely reporting what a major author in the New Age Movement said about Freemasonry-not making my own proclamations about the organization.
Bailey wrote about Freemasonry's role in the overall Plan (Satan’s plan), including what its purpose might be in the future. Bailey suggested the following key things about Freemasonry:
1. The organization is much more occult in nature than what is generally perceived.[2] This is quite a statement because it does nothing to dispel many people’s negative view of Freemasons.
2. The Masons preserve the mysteries through their symbols and rituals[3]: This is significant because the spiritual forces of evil’s Plan is to apparently bring back the Mysteries for the one-world religion or in other words bring back the Babylonian Mystery Religion, Babylon the Great of Revelation 17. In fact, Bailey predicted that all faiths would be unified into one religion when the Mysteries were restored.[4]
- Foster Bailey wrote that Freemasonry is a direct descendant of the world’s first unified religion.[5]
3. The organization represents the start of the spiritual hierarchy’s (the spiritual forces of evil) future effort to restore the ancient Mysteries.[6] This is an interesting statement because there is a connection between Freemasonry and the religion of ancient Babylon.
- The following link is an article about the link that exists between Freemasonry and the ancient Mysteries, including a section on the link between Freemasonry and the religion of ancient Babylon: Link

Bailey predicted a transformation in the nature of Freemasonry. She wrote that Freemasonry had been corrupted through time and lost its way with its political and social causes.[7] In other words, Freemasonry was not as occultly or esoterically-driven as Bailey would have preferred. She predicted that Freemasonry would regain its old spiritual form in time for the New Age.[8]
- I’m not an expert in Freemasonry so I can’t comment on whether this process is actually underway. If you are an expert on Freemasonry it would be interesting to hear whether you’ve noticed a change in Freemasonry back towards what it was in the past.
Finally, I scanned Benjamin Creme’s (the official spokesmen of Maitreya-the leader of the Ascended Masters) website for further information concerning the Freemasons. There’s no information concerning the Freemasons specifically on his website. However, Creme suggested in a book that the New Age initiation ceremony-the ceremony where the Mark of the Beast could potentially be given-would be based on Masonic tradition.[9]
- I did find a couple of articles which mentioned that Creme has given lectures at San Francisco’s Masonic Center, which is owned by the local Freemason chapter. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about that piece of information…
In sum, the information I’ve reported today suggests that Freemasonry is playing a supplementary role in the future rise of Babylon the Great. The information I’ve reported also implies there is a connection/relationship between Freemasonry and the New Age Movement. How strong this connection is remains to be seen…
