AND  HOW  TO  OPPOSE  THEM  INTELLIGENTLY  WITHOUT  FALLING  INTO  THE  SAME  PITFALLS

Secret societies, as the name implies, are fraternities and sororities (e.g. The Knights & Dames/Ladies of This, the Order of That, Rotary, Lyons, Shriners, Scouts, Squires, Sorcerers’ Apprentices [made-up?], Mickey Mouse Club, Masons, Fraternities & Sororities with [Enlightenment-inspired] Greek initials etc.) that keep secrets. The word Occult means hidden, and most secret societies house and use Occult paraphernalia. Because they are brotherhoods and sisterhoods and therefore stand for factionalism/partisanship, they neglect, implicitly deny and are inherently inimical to the universal brotherhood true, godly prophets are always speaking of. This is how we can know secret societies are of the shadow. The most common defense of secret societies is that they do charitable or philanthropic (“man-loving”) work, but the implication is that they are better than the run of humanity and are extending an unearned mercy from their lodge in the sky, deigning to succor hapless mortals. But perhaps the greatest danger of vowing secrecy in any group is that this ties one’s spirit down, sets up needless bonds and keeps one from relating to God and neighbor in a healthy way. Inescapably ALL ARE MY BROTHERS, AND ONLY IN GOD ARE MY SECRETS. Secret societies routinely exist as an invitation to the corrupt (who need to escape from their wives) and perverse (who are prospecting for “wives”) to achieve an unearned gravitas that healthy society, the open kind that meets in the daytime, has sensibly denied them. The consequence is that secret societies uniquely invite and purvey sado-masochism and bondage, obsession and possession, and the danger among those who oppose them is to fall into the same ways (if they haven’t already). So I say, the most helpful legwork to oppose secret societies without drinking the same poison is to avoid and denounce opacity and cliques in everyday life, in business, in politics; then you’ll be ready when the freaky battles come! Live in the light of day in the real world, commonly, uprightly, have no secrets and nothing to hide. Justice is contagious, at least it is when you’re dealing with living humans.
