THE PRIORY OF SION TODAY

Today the Priory of Sion is perpetuated through three principal lineages, all
three are of international character, but located in different parts of Europe
which are France, Spain and Italy.

Of these three Orders, only one, in addition of being an initiatic Order is also
an association legally registered, and is the Prieuré Sion - Ordre de la Rose-
Croix Véritas O.D.L.R.C.V. , Which has as its General Secretary and Grand
Master, Marco Rigamonti.

Prieuré de Sion - Ordre de la Rose-Croix Véritas O.D.L.R.C.V. has, as initiatory

authority of reference, Gino Sandri, who is the Grand Patriarch of the Order.

The Order is registered in Italy, with several Operative

structures, in Italy, in France, in Monaco (Monte-Carlo), in
England, Spain, Holland, Belgium and in some of the Unites
States of America.

The reasons that led to the second time since 1956, to

officially register the Priory of Sion as an association in a
legal entity, are different from those of 1956, where the act
was intended just to mark the split between the european Priory of Sion and
the american one.

The reasons are that beyond the current

registration of the Priory as an association
legally established, is in the will of an adaptation
to modern times, a sort of compromise that has
been decided with the aim of maximizing the
flow of a message, which, although addressed to
"the few", is not so easy to be delivered to the
eligible recipients, in the chaos of the current
landscape of information.

All this, is actually seen by the Order as a real compromise, simply because an
Initiatic Order, does not need any profane superstructure of any kind, which is
absolutely unnecessary and technically a degeneration of the latter, as the
initiatory bound, as its transmission is a vibrational and indissoluble spiritual
bond, unrestrainable and unseizable, for anyone and for anything, being above
of any material contingency or any profane or institutional "fence".
The Priory of Sion has the
duty to preserve and
transmit knowledge and
secrets, which are stored in
symbols, rituals and in
Alchemy practices.

We are talking about the

transmission of a deposit of
something "non-human", but
inherited from immemorial
time, by mouth to ear and
from ear to mouth in an
unbroken chain that reaches
up our days. It is a legacy
that is not of this world.

The Priory is conscious that

this knowledge originates
from a transmission granted
by entities that are not of
this world, and some of
them not even of this
dimension; this knowledge
has been bestowed to some
men, with the aim to put
them in condition to create
an order for humanity, save
as much as possible from
the chaos. Obviously such
knowledge could not be
transmitted to everyone
indiscriminately for the
obvious reason that only a
part of the population may
be able to make of it good use and applying it in an efficient and productive
way.

The cross test of this non-human transmission is the unability to determine the
truly historic original authors of this knowledge, it is enough to reflect over
the origin of the same symbols; in fact no one knows the author of any symbol,
as well as "figurative" symbols or "sounds" (such as mantra) since they were
inherited and are now in the books, but the specific author for the single
symbol, has never been known as nobody has written in this regard.

In fact, the symbol is in itself, even objectively, "non-human"; It is something

that allows us to transcend, to elevate us from our human condition to higher
states of being, just because human is not, and giving us suggestions that are
just "starting points", without defining at the same time "arrival points" .

The man then, through the use of symbols, in the most imaginable wide
conception of the term, can expand beyond its limits.This type of activity,
which is then certainly not a simple and profane academic study, is joined by
the practice of alchemy, understood in the mere spiritual concept of it.

It is with this background that is then approached the practice of rituals,

which has their own additional symbolic value and in some cases, even a
highly mystical operativity.

Rituals that have a predominantly mystical function, which then could provide
the possibility of a contact with exogenous intelligences, are essentially based
on a meditation practice that makes it possible by putting in the conditions to
receive an "input" which may also be "external" to us.

These rituals are meant to put us in touch with our deepest essence that
resides in the unconscious which we believe to be also the potential "bridge"
to our "Spiritual Component" which could itself get in contact with exogenous
entities.

The work that is done by the Initiate is precisely to implement the

effectiveness of this "bridge", making this "communication" between the
Spiritual Component and Conscious Mind, more and more aware and
effective; we are talking about the development of a quality, which affects
beneficially in every aspect of the individual.

Our Spirit can communicate with our minds, through suggestions or thoughts
that may surface at a conscious level, but still require a conscious cognitive
"container" able to interpret and decode properly these realities emerged.

The success of the above-mentioned process is not obvious, citing studies by

Bruce H. Lipton (1), the unconscious has 40,000,000 times the conscious
cognitive ability. As this is an absolutely symbolic reference, the question
remains about the boundary between the individual spirit and the beginning of
something else, of which we are perhaps part of at an unconscious level as a
Universal Consciousness, that we can call God, Father, Father Creator or
G.A.O.T.U. to use a more neutral term, connected even to other forms of
consciousness that are part of it, even in their individuality.
It is fascinating to note how often can happen, of failing to solve a very
complex problem after hours of focused reflection and how on the contrary,
very often, that same problem, as flush to mind the solution in the most
certain and crisp detail, while the mind conscious is involved in anything else,
as can be to observe a landscape, tidying up the books or walk; it is absolutely
clear that in some way, the activity of thought in its entirety, is not perceived
consciously, but rather is increasingly undeniable, that most of the activity
takes place where the conscious self can not have access, at least not without
the help of dedicated and specific practices and activities, such as hypnosis or
certain types of meditation, which are able to alter the state of consciousness
bringing the stadium from Gamma to Alpha to Theta - Theta / Gamma (Theta
with possibilities of active thinking).
Another interesting example can be observed through the dynamic of other
nuances with which these mechanical take place, as the so-called artist's
block. How many times has happened to us, or we have observed an artist
took from a block of inspiration, immobilized for hours in front of a blank
sheet of paper, unable to fill it with the fruits of his art?

How many other times, to realize any artistic creation, were enough a few
moments, to switch the creative impulse to the materialization of the
expression?

In fact the sheer concentration itself, can only favor the sophisticated
processing of technic, not the receipt of those inspirations which the creative
genius can suggest only through our unconscious, and so through our same
Spirit.

In coherence with these observations, it can be inferred that in reality any

exasperated attempt to concentration, brings away from the real creative
activity that takes its source from the unconscious.

The concentration then, during creative activities, should not be the

predominant element, but subordinate, as a powerful horse that is ridden by
the Knight.

Thus, through participation in certain rituals involving these techniques of

meditation, it is so also possible to come in contact with intelligences which
are exogenous to our, always in God's grace, invoking the help and protection
of God before every practice.
 THE SECRET OF SION

The "Secret of Sion", or rather "the Secrets of Sion" are truths, for which
revealing, are provided various types of instruments to the Initiate and then to
the Adept, in order to be known. These tools can be symbolic, alchemical or
other elements of knowledge both Gnostic and of other nature.

These secrets, in their understanding, they will never be considered

erroneous, because everyone could be able to understand them in a greater
extent, as in a more limited vision, or in different way compared to anyone
else; however, it can hardly be betrayed, being the most of them, by their
nature, incommunicable in words and indecipherable to the layman eye even
if portrayed in a different way.

A NOBLE AND ARISTOCRATIC ORDER OF CHIVALRY

The Priory of Sion, despite having far more ancient

roots, in fact was founded by Godfrey of Bouillon in
1099 and is historically tied to the Merovingian
Dynasty, as is well known. The antiquity of the deposit,
emerges also through the symbolic elements in
collateral or direct relation to the Order, as the title of
"Fisher Kings" given to the Merovingian kings, a title
that symbolically connects to Babylon, referring to
Nimrod, the Babylonian deity represented by a man
with the fish head or with a headdress shaped like a
fish, an element which will then also taken up by the
Vatican as the papal headgear.

This binding of the Priory of Sion with the

Merovingian Dynasty was further celebrated officially in November 2016,
through the recognition by the Merovingian Royal House de Gevaudan,
through the person of S.A.R.S. Dominus Esteve IV Rubén Albert I de
Gevaudan, the last heir of the Gevaudan lineage, Royal House of Merovingian
lineage, descendants precisely by the Counts of Autun, who through
Ermengarde gave light to the Counts of Toulouse.

Actually, the Priory of Sion is one of the very few Orders of chivalry in the
world to enjoy the privilege and prestige of being recognized by a Royal
House.

THE MEROVINGIAN HERITAGE TO THE PRESENT DAYS

Unequivocally clarifying that the Priory of Sion is unable to

connect beyond all doubt, the Merovingian dynasty with the
lineage of Jesus Christ, remains the belief in this sense, not
only of a connection to the Merovingian Dynasty itself, but
also and above all of a lineage of Jesus to the present day.

This element, it is absolutely crucial, because, not only

makes human Jesus, but gives way to grasp the tangibility
of the Human growth possibilities towards the Divine, to the
popular perception.

"Truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the same

works that I do, and he will do bigger ones than these,
because I go unto my Father."

John 14:12

Another important historical element, was that the Merovingian kings, were
also known as "Thaumaturges Kings", and from the chronicles, are recurring
events in which these rulers received sick people, to heal them.

The Priory of Sion, while accepting candidacies from believers in any form of
religion, believes that the figure of Jesus, treated in an uncensored way, as in
this mode, it is absolutely of crucial importance, because it preserves all its
original power and credibility, because placed in a vision no longer corrupted
and incomplete as when polluted by a dogma imposed for political reasons
rather than because of loyalty to the true spiritual teachings of Christ and the
real historical events.

RENNES LE CHÂTEAU

The mystery of Rennes-le-Château, it is

particularly intricated to the eyes of the public
also because, especially to the layman,
escapes the fact that even the same elements,
individually, can lead to more different
mysteries, even not directly connected each
other and of totally different nature, and not
only for this just one can be considered
authentic.
Rennes le Château, stands on a dense and complex underground structure,
which since ancient times, not only was it used to be inhabited, but also for
the perpetration of meetings having as their purpose the performing of rituals
and ancient practices, as widely reported also from medieval chronicles, when
were even enacted laws, especially for the people who lived underground in
those areas.

But all this is also an allegory, which refers to the elements of the conscious
and the unconscious mind which is the source of our deepest wisdom; a
wisdom that is completely devoid of any mental inhibition, at the same time, it
is our "backdoor" to the non-visible world; as already mentioned, the contact
with our unconscious, can also lead to a contact with our spiritual component,
and so even to a connection with other intelligences.

Pierre Plantard, compared allegorically the undergrounds of Roc-Noir, to the

unconscious, as the access to that immense wisdom which can become also a
real bridge to intelligences of exogenus nature.

"Notre Trésor, celui du Prieuré de Sion, est le Secret du Roc-Noir...e seul

l'initié pouvait comprendre que le trésor n'était pas de l'or, mais l'énergie
considérable dont dispose le Maître du génie qui connaît le secret"

Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair

 AN ELITIST ORDER

The Priory of Sion, is by its specific

nature, a highly elitist Order, although
not in the vulgar conception of the
term, because the requirement for
access to this Élite, is not essentially
social position or budget, but rather are
the actual capabilities and qualities of
the individual, which determine the
requirements to gain access to
Initiation, as to our teachings.

For these reasons, an Order like ours,

which has such ambitions and
objectives, can never be non-elitist,
because of a logical and inherent
requirement as essential factor.

Considered the desire for openness

towards others and a willingness to
share this knowledge as much as
reasonably possible, it was decided to
create different levels of which not all
are part of the initiatic Order, but only of the Association as an institutional
structure.

Among these levels we have

Sympathizer Member - not receiving initiation nor participate in our studies or

our initiatiory activities, but, appreciating our ideals and purposes, cooperates
with us in profane activities.

1st to 3rd Degree - represent the proud basis of the initiatic Order, where can
access almost any person found in possession of the requirements to receive,
with profit, the knowledge of these degrees.

4th Degree onwards - Only very few can have access to the upper levels of the
Order, which are from the 4th grade onwards. This is where is the heart of the
Order's activities and where decisions are taken.

The intent that led us to reform what gave birth to this new structure, has
been the intent to provide a more immediate, understandable and
approachable link to those who have the requirements to join the Priory of
Sion.

The Priory of Sion today is a very complex structure, but extremely efficient,
which has among its guiding operating mottos, diligence, thoroughness and
method.

It can be said that the Priory of Sion, although is not a secret society, is
extremely reserved, so that the penalty provided for transgressing this
confidentiality is the direct expulsion, in almost all cases (still never
occurred).

THE BLOOD OF JESUS AT THE PRESENT DAYS

Everyone can perceive God to the measure that he/she is capable; since there
is nothing that is not sacred, only the point of view can be "profane", when the
latter is found to be limited in the perception of what is observed.

The contact with the Sacred is look and feel God in everything around us,
profanity is not perceiving God while contemplating all that is observable.

When the Initiate enters the Temple, just because precisely Sacred is all that
exists, the invitation is actually addressed to the Initiate himself, to leave out
from the Temple (which is a pure symbol which represents nothing if not a
space that is inside of us), its profanity and therefore not the material
environment in which it resides.

Since the Sacred is then all that is

really true, at the same time it is
implied that is the Sacred to be in a
position of strength compared to the
"profane", which instead is the
incomplete vision or better defined as
the "deception that melts like snow in
the sun"; and it is precisely for this
reason that the so-called "profane",
when referring to a person, not yet
ready to receive the Sacred, must be defended, in order to avoid
overwhelming him in a devastating contact rather than a beneficial and
constructive one.

For this reason, contrary to what ise conventionally supposed, when it is

denied to someone the access to higher grades inside an initiatory Order, is
not so much to protect a secret, but it is meant to protect those who are not
ready to receive it.

There are instruments that have been entrusted to humanity, from a source
that is not of this world, in order to facilitate our relationship with the sacred,
so with is meant as "true."

The original depositaries of this knowledge are certain our brothers in

creation, who have entrusted some representatives of the past in our society.
To date, this chain, which was not interrupted, is perpetuated through
initiatory Orders that inherited a very ancient deposit, in spite of their
sometimes more recent institutional origin, such as the Freemasons, the
Priory of Sion, the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians and other Orders that
legitimately share the same deposit.

The testimony of contact with these custodians can emerge from historical
artifacts as representations or legends, representing meetings or contacts
with civilizations that are not from this planet.

THE INITIATIC LINK WITH THE MEROVINGIANS

The Dynasty takes its name from Merovee, French King who fought against
the Huns, at the Roman Empire's side.

Merovee, it was not just a historical figure, but also mythical and legendary, in
fact, an ancient legend depicting him as the son of two fathers, the King
Chlodio and a sea monster.

This legend, is actually a myth created to represent allegorically the

transmission of a knowledge which has non-human origin, the Merovingian
Dynasty, through emissaries precisely non-terrestrial, which are actually
placeable in ancient Babylon, being the marine monster described in the
legend, an ancient representation of Nimrod, the man who built the tower of
Babel and ruled Babylon.

These emissaries are those who, in more modern times, have also been
defined as "Supérieurs Inconnus".

According to tradition received orally, Merovee was endowed with powers that
transcended the human. Like all his successors was initiated into the occult
sciences, which he and then all the Merovingian monarchs were considered in
fact Priest Kings, seen as the incarnation of the divine, not unlike the ancient
Egyptian pharaohs or the rulers of other ancient societies.

Already at that time there was the gnostic faith, of which the Priory of Sion is
still depository through the Merovingian heritage, describing Jesus as a
human being, ascended to the divine, through the achievement of "higher
states of being."
 THE CURRENT MEROVINGIAN HEIRS, ENTITLED FROM

HISTORICAL SOURCES

To date the only survived bloodline of

Jesus historically provable, is not about
his descendants, but that of his cousins of
first or second degree.

Among them, several apostles or

disciples, John, Jude Thaddaeus, James
and Matthew the Evangelist.

Known as Desposinyi, their offspring

would spread in the Roman Empire.

In the area of Marseille and Provence,

there was a large Jewish colony; the
medieval jew traveler, Benjamin from
Tudela, wrote that at the head of this
established community, there was a
descendent of King David, so, from the
same family lineage of Jesus.

Studies about birth of the aristocracy in

Europe, has amply demonstrated how
some of the most ancient families of the
French nobility were originated from
Gallo-Roman tribes. The same may have
happened with the descendants of the
apostles of Jesus, which seems plausible,
the possibility that the merovingian branch has also get in contact with some
of the cousins of Jesus, already present at the time in France.

Through the surviving branches of the Merovingian or Carolingian branches,

there are many families that could claim the blood of the Apostles rightly,
among many we remember the Clintons, the Clifford, the Devon, the Howards,
the Clare, the Griseley, while among Italians the Gravina, Filangieri,
Sanseverino and Troiano. Several members of these families could have
hereditary distinctive sign, the famous red birthmark with the shape of a
cross; it had, among others, Louis XVI and have it to this day some members
of the Troiano Family.

Wanting to quote one of the most direct descendants of these cousins of Jesus,
we can remember that in the nineteenth century, from Spain, moved to
Argentina, the Prince Enrique Josè de Gavaldà, heir of the ancient Counts of
Gevaudan and Princes of Septimania, the state of southern France where
much of the most influential social class was of jewish origin.
Recalling its ancestry to Esteve de Gavaldà and its ancestor Guillermo Tolosa,
belonging to the merovingian bloodline, Enrique and his heirs have claimed
the rights of their medieval county and restored the full honors of their
ancestors, promoted deep historical, genealogical and heraldic studies as the
concession of knight Orders, including the old colonial Society of Santa Maria
of Buenos Aires, which was revitalized after a long period of rest.

Prince Rubén Alberto de Gavaldà, born in 1969, is today the proud

representative of the family. Expert in aristocratic law, heraldry, history, ritual,
man of vast culture and a member of several academies and associations in
the world; today he is certainly among the legal heirs whose can claim
legitimately the blood of Desposinyi.

THE INITIATIC-TRADITIONAL INVESTIGATION TRACK

The traditional deposit of the Priory of Sion, brings us to a path of inquiry that
concerns even the possibility of a direct descent from Jesus, to this day,
through St. Dagobert II King of Austrasia, which would have as a son Sigebert
IV° Plant-Ard "Rejeton" Ardent Prince - Ermite Comte de Rhedae, which in
681 inherited from his uncle the titles of Count of Rhedae and Duke of Razès.

Dagobert II, despite having been killed in the fatal

ambush on December 23 of the 679 in the Woëvre
forest, near Stenay, would perpetuate his lineage
through Sigebert IV°, had with the beautiful
Visigoth Princess Gisèle de Rhedae, in 676.

This oral legacy gave born to the so-called

"enigma of the visigothic Razès", which takes its
name from the title of Duke of Razès, inherited
from Sigebert IV°, from his uncle.

With Sigebert IV° was originated the name

Plantard from the "Plant-Ard" nickname,
approached next to the name of the noble, which
was precisely called Sigebert IV° "Plant-Ard"or
"dit le Plantard"; this name, in reality concealed
two hidden meanings, which refers to a "plant"
(Plant) which has robust origins, understood as
deep or distant, so, "Ard"; with deep can be an
allusion to a profound knowledge with "deep roots", at the same time, the
allusion may refer also to the antiquity of the roots understood as a family of
ancient origin or referring to the antiquity of the repository of knowledge, or
all those meanings together.

The remains of Dagobert II, were at first kept in the Church of Saint-Dagobert
until 1591, until it was destroyed as a result of an attack of the Huguenots.
Following this raid, of the King's remains only the skull was found. Following
the discovery of this remain, the relic was moved to the belgian monastery of
the Black Nuns.

The skull of the Saint, was then

deposited in a reliquary with the shape
of a chalice, which would contain, in
addition to the skull of Dagobert II a
precious parchment where there
should be transcribed the testimony of
Irmina, another daughter of King
Dagobert II of Austrasia and sister of
Sigisbert IV, which would wrote about
her brother's escape, by defining for
the first time a descendant of the
Merovingian dynasty "Roi Perdu". Title which will start from that moment to
be part of the oral tradition and to be passed on to all future heirs of that
branch of the Dynasty.

It is not excluded that the original document is currently not in possession of

the convent, but it was possibly removed and / or replaced.

For the record, we mention the stone known as "Dalle de Chevaliers", found
under the main altar in the Church of St. Marie Magdalene at Rennes-le-
Château. The discovery gave rise to many controversial assumptions, being
absolutely unprovable, which interprets the representation like that of a
knight who escapes to Razès, with the child Sigebert IV°.
 THE CERCLE SAINT-DAGOBERT II

Was founded in 1983, just in Stenay, a cultural

association named "Cercle Saint Dagobert II",
with the aim of studying the history of St.
Dagobert King of Austrasia, the Merovingian
dynasty and all that gravitated around.

The founder was Louis Vazart, author of "Abrégé

de l'Histoire des Francs: Les Gouvernants et Rois
de la France " and "Dagobert II et le mystère de la
cité royale de Stenay".

Louis Vazart has worked extensively to research the history of the

merovingian dynasty, even in direct collaboration with Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair.

The association has made, to adorn the headquarter, a marble stele, depicting
the Merovingian Bee, the Alpha and the Omega.
 STORY OF THE PRIORY OF SION

Our Venerable Order, has origins on July 15 1099 in

Jerusalem, founded by Godfrey of Bouillon, at the Abbey
"Our Lady of Mount Sion", as "Order of Our Lady of
Mount Sion."

In 1152 a part of the monks belonging to the Order is

brought to France by King Louis VII; donations made in
1152 by Louis VII were properties and other goods,
including the Saint Samson Abbey, where the Order took
its headquarters; it was after the coming in France that
the Order will change its name to Grand Priory of Sion
or Priory of Sion, in 1153.

Later, because of the siege of Jerusalem by Saladin, the

Order members who had remained in the Abbey, will move suddenly, on 14
October 1187, in Palestine, in Acre, at the Priory of San Leonardo.

The May 19, 1291 also the city of Acre fell under the attack of the Muslims;
from that moment, for the last Priory veterans from Palestine, it resorts to the
forced settlement in Caltanissetta, Sicily, in the Church of the Holy Spirit.

In 1158 Pope Adrian IV confirmed the authority of the Priory of Sion in all its
roles and in all its functions as well as the legality of all its properties; the line
will be confirmed by his successor, Pope Alexander III, who perpetuated the
possessions, benefits and powers of the Order.

In 1619, the Priory of Sion, following an irreconcilable conflict with Louis XIII
of Bourbon, resulting in the expulsion of the Order from its properties, it will
no longer exist as a public institution and become a secret society without a
seat on the territory.

It's since that moment that the Order becomes essentially a loose deposit of
knowledge and secrets, chasing his custodians through a narrow but very
efficient network of emissaries not necessarily all Members of the Order, but
wisely and strategically chosen to preserve and spread the secrets of the right
recipients.

The leadership in the centuries has always been entrusted, without exception,
to consider to be able to drive as well the Order over the years, as been in
possession of the ability to deepen the study of its secrets, the Order never
considered itself a conseguitore or as get to an arrival point, more likely,
however, an expression of Man, which, as such, can only evolve over time,
replacing the knowledge of yesterday with updated calculations in the
tomorrow.

Thus we find in our past, Grand Masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac
Newton, Sandro Filipepi, Robert Boyle, Michel de Nostredame and how many
more well known, chosen primarily for what they were because of their human
baggage, sometimes even scientific or abou another kind of knowledge,
always initiatory and never for reasons concerning politic, geographical
matters, economic or institutional circumstances.

This "operational policy" has perpetrated until such time as our past Grand
Master Pierre Plantard decided to legitimize institutionally the Priory in 1956,
this was done in order to give to the Order an official size that even
contemplates the information to the peoples of certain realities through a
channel that was public, so in a more direct way.

It was therefore attempted to establish a first time ,officially, this Organization

in the modern era.

Unfortunately, many vicissitudes, already priory considered a risk, they

effectively materialized in all their concreteness, in the most absolute
impossibility in handling and without outlet streets, which forced the
precedent Council, after several attempts, to suspend this project persistently
for a long period.

Only recently, it was considered appropriate to officially reorganize and

revitalize the Order in 2015, with intentions similar and different at the same
time; in addition to the original reasons, tied to our tradition's preservation,
this step was made also for the benefit of our Brothers and Sisters of the
Order, the worthy seeker and society as a whole, even as a means of contact
for those who wanted to approach this initiatory community and share the
path.

PIERRE PLANTARD DE SAINT-CLAIR

Born 18 March 1920 in Paris, Pierre Athanase Marie Plantard de Saint-Clair,

legitimate descendant of the Merovingian Dynasty, inherited the surname
from a nickname of the illustrious ancestor Sigisbert IV Plant-Ard "Rejeton"
Ardent Prince - Ermite Comte de Rhedae , which in 681 inherited from his
uncle, the titles of Count of Rhedae and Razès Duke.

It was after Sigisbert IV, that has origins the name Plantard from the
nickname "Plant-Ard", approached next to the name of the noble, which was
precisely called Sigisbert IV "Plant-Ard" or "dit le Plantard".

The young and brilliant Pierre, at the age of fifteen years, gained the profound
affection and regard of the famous Medium Geneviève Zaepffel, who initiated
Plantard, in young age, to the esoteric studies and the occult sciences,
opening the horizons that will lead him to become the future Grand Master of
the Priory of Sion.

A little later, still a teenager, he will meet Georges Monti, former German
Secret Agent, also called Comte Georges Monti or Comte Israël Monti, known
in some circles with the initiatory name of Marcus Vella, who will take care of
the young, becoming his mentor not only under the initiatory profile.

Georges Monti was a Freemason of the highest level, belonging to the Scottish
Rite and a member of the Rose + Croix of Toulouse, later founder of the
knight Order Alpha Galates, came out of secrecy only on 27 December 1937
together with the declaration of Pierre Plantard de Saint- Clair as the leader.

Plantard, even before the age of eighteen, already showed a keen interest in
politics, showing strong monarchist and nationalist trends, combined with a
strong character, prone to adventure and extremely resourceful, but at the
same time strictly faithful to the intellectual honesty towards himself and the
world and his characteristic purity of intent, which strongly pushed his will for
looking to realize something that would allow him to bring his contribution,
aimed at the good of society and the nation in which he lived.

Will be his penchant for adventure, combined with the irrepressible impulse to
test as many times as possible himself, together with the inextinguishable
interest in the fate of the nation, which will bring Pierre Plantard to become,
for a while, even a Secret Agent at the service of the Government in 1947.

In December 1940 Pierre Plantard become Leader of the association

"Rénovation Nationale Française", which will be his first real experience in
areas adjacent to the politic, which will create its first decisive contacts in the
political and institutional environments.

In 1942, he will publish the Vaincre magazine, which will see six outputs up to
1943 and will be the other magazine he published together with CIRCUIT,
arrived later.

After 1943, he began his career as designer and a little later, on December 6,
1945, he married Anne-Léa Hisler.

In 1947, Pierre Plantard founded the '' Académie Latina ", an historical
research association with which it will begin to develop in-depth
investigations and valuable research material on the Merovingian Dynasty,
which will then be used to complement and develop the historical knowledge
inherited from the Priory of Sion.

Pierre Plantard is initiated into Freemasonry on July 8th 1951 in the Grand
Orient of France, through the Lodge "L'Avenir du Chablais à Ambilly".

In 1958, Pierre Plantard, became established in its activities over the public
sphere, and becomes one of the organizers of the Public Health Committees in
France, taking shortly the secretariat.

On May 7, 1956, he founded the Prieuré de Sion – Chevalerie d'Institution et

Regle Catholique & d'Union Indépendente Traditionaliste C.I.R.C.U.I.T. , As
European section of the Priory and at the same time, the only visible and
registered section according to law, with Jean Cocteau as Grand Master.

January 17, 1981, Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, takes on the vertex of the
Order, being elected Grand Master of the Priory of Sion in Blois, through an
almost unanimous vote in his favor by 83 votes out of 92.

Plantard, will resign in 1984 because of health problems and will return to be
the Grand Master in June of 1989 for almost a month, in order to bring
changes to the Statute and other structural features of the Order and then
leave great mastery to his son, Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair, in August of
the same year.

Athanase Marie Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, this contemporary character of

great intellectual and human depth, as well as very high initiate and Grand
Master of the Priory of Sion, will die in 2000 in Colombes, February 3rd.

"The soul is made up of extremely thin atoms, which does not acquire form
except when the mind vibrates with love; this is the indispensable factor
between mind and matter. Matter is the gross vehicle that uses the soul to
bring the mind to the highest levels. When the official science will have
acquired this notion, material progress will then be the equivalent of the
spiritual's and will then become useful and good, but until matter dominates
the mind, the world will suffer, overwhelmed by the forces unleashed that will
crush it."

Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair

 PRIORY OF SION AND THE ILLUMINATI

Recently, especially in the field of digital information, we ran into a lay update
of this term now so abused, as distorted and inflated, as to seem almost an
accusation, a mark of shame, a dirty word : "Illuminati" .

In that context of improvised counter-information, very different from the

independent and capable counter-information, we find a refer to this term, so
clumsily and amateurishly by pairing it with fanciful theories and cheesy
beyond belief, arbitrarily recriminating indiscriminately and with summary
reference to the Initiatory Community in general, regarding hypothetical and
generalized responsibility without exception whatsoever to the
aforementioned category, about the current political and social disadvantage
issues.

It's more constructive in our view, to remember the original value of this term,
which maintains, in the correct sense, the same thickness as the meaning of
the past; the "Illuminati", originally, were none other than Members of the
Order of the Bavarian Illuminati founded by Johann Adam Weishaupt in 1776;
Order from which even the Priory of Sion has received influences, mostly
philosophical and humanistic.

This is a thought found in the archives of Adam Weishaupt dedicated to

certain values belonging to the driving motivation of the Bavarian Illuminati

"The Equality and freedom are fundamental rights that a man, in his original
and primitive perfection, received from Nature."

The Order of the Bavarian Illuminati was created on the belief that improving
the emancipation of mankind will not be the result of a violent revolution, but
a concerted evolution, which will lead to reform the public mind; this
revolution can not be born and to be lived through the motions, but must be
absolutely individual, so that the individual's path is sufficiently aware to
make automatic the cultural-evolutionary leap due.

Even by Wieishaupt archives

"All sciences and all the institutions of the world must be reformed. But such a
'profound reform can not' take place publicly, nor you can 'take quickly: must
be universal, it must embrace everything, take care not to theoretical
speculations, but measures practically and effectively to bring men to the level
of their former dignity "

It can be said, however, that to date, the term "Illuminati", under the correct
term, may have acquired, always in the correct context, in addition to its
original, a meaning less ethereal and much more concrete, understood as one
who is "Enlighted" because he understood its nature, its role in the Universe,
its size in relation to God and all that exists; "Enlighted" because, knowing
oneself and the Man, understood the reasons why in this society, in this
historical moment happens certain events; "Enlighted" because including the
reasons for which Humanity is in crisis towards certain issues and why;
"Enlighted" precisely because conscious of the anthropological, social and
spiritual reason, for which the world actually goes in a certain way and why.

In all these senses, the Priory of Sion does not find anything criminal or
reprehensible in the correct definition of the term "Illuminati", since it is not a
sense that implicitly includes fraud, deceit or concealment undue or even any
deliberate manipulation of truth towards peoples.

RHEDAE – RENNES LE CHÂTEAU

The history of the region where the current Rennes le Chateau is situated,
once Rhédae, is so ancient that it losts even through the oral tradition.

Celts and the subsequent "Latinization" suffered by them from the Roman
Empire, even before the Visigoths, who inhabited that land.

This without taking into account the fact that archaeological surveys carried
out in the territory, have abundantly proved the existence of man since
prehistoric times, and then again through the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and
Neolithic.

From this melting pot of ancient civilizations, we begin to unravel some fog.

It's from this premise that we can understand the very esoteric reality of the
place, which boasts indigenous sense primarily by Celtic and Druidic
traditions.

Still other sites can be visited today, where you can admire the Cromlecks and
other indeterminable age structures, up to Celtic or rear; the entire area
extends also below the ground, through a network of caves, natural and
artificial tunnels, which lead to the nooks and places at one time and we are
certain still, ritual sites for esoteric ceremonies.

Only by this introduction, you can start giving a dimension to Rennes le

Chateau, in a historical and mystical tradition profile and secondarily to
imagine the influence that this place has had over the Priory of Sion under an
initiatory profile, having been also a past headquarter of the Order.

Historians have established that Rhédae was a big city, at least from its Celtic
times, and then continued to be so after the arrival of the Visigoths; although
in all probability, it was already a major center still earlier.

Thanks to the mild climate, characterized by more moderate winters and a

more enjoyable summer weather than the valley as well as the abundance of
the region's resources; the fine geographical position of Rhédae, dominant
over the valley, made the ancient Rhédae met all the requirements that led it
to be at that time undoubtedly a nerve center of the Celtic civilization and
then Visigoth of those times.

It was later subsequently to the Crusade against the Albigensian in 1209, that
in twenty years Rhédae led to a debacle which later demonstrate being
irreversible.

Then rebuilt in part, he was subsequently and gradually abandoned by the

people who began to move downstream.

In Rennes le Chateau, as already mentioned, there is indeed an underground

network that hosted some population as well as activities of esoteric groups
over time, and it was in those tunnels and caves that over the centuries was
found a good shelter to hide treasures also, without take into account the
presence of gold mines throughout the area, the last of which closed in 2004;
It is by all these factors and situations that were born the legends, then
arbitrarily connected to the Knights Templar and the Priory of Sion.

THE ROSICRUCIAN

In Europe, during the Renaissance, more precisely in 1600, it comes to life the
Rosicrucian Movement, as heir to the hermetic tradition, which historical
roots are lost in time.

The Rosicrucian Movement, is presented to the public in 1614, through their

first publication, the "Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis" and later in 1616, with
the publication of the equally famous "The Chymical Wedding of Christian
Rosenkreutz".

In the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the Rosicrucians are already

present throughout Europe, among them eminent personalities joined in, who
more secretly, some less; many coming from the world of science, literature
and philosophy, and then spread around the world, until today.

The Rosicrucian tradition, conveys a knowledge that comes to us from ancient

Egypt, Babylon, by the Pythagoreans and the Jewish Mysticism, understood as
the gnostic current, and the study of Kabbalah.

From this emanation, subsequently born different initiatory Rosicrucian

Orders, which until our days, preserve and perpetuate this knowledge through
their Initiates.
 Symbology of the rose and the cross

The most powerful and emblematic symbolic instrument of the Rosicrucians,

is the Rose, sometimes at the center of a Cross.

The Rose is the symbolic and transcendent representation of the Man who
has been able to develop its real divine spiritual essence, reaching to fulfill the
potential stage, under a spiritual aspect.

The symbol of the Rose expresses the beauty, love, purity and grace in their
highest representation, at the same time, it depicts the transience, the
vulnerability, the brevity of existence, which results in a very powerful parallel
with the human condition.

The Cross symbolizes instead the body, through the encounter between the
four elements, which are placed as water and air in horizontal, earth and fire
vertically; it is in the center of the Cross, seen as the perfect balance point,
which can flourish the Rose, symbol of the realization of the spiritual essence
and its perfection.

The Rose on the Cross is thus the symbol representing the Man, able to
express and realize his potential, developing his divine, spiritual essence.

Being a Rosicrucian therefore means to know everything about the Cross

(Body) but also everything related to the Rose (Spiritual Component).

The Rose on the Cross so represents the perfect being who has learned to
know all the elements of which it is composed, developing them, through work
on himself.

Symbolically, there is a remarkable similarity between the symbol of the Rose

on the Cross and the Holy Grail, given by the similarity of the symbol of the
Cup, seen as man's body, which receives the Blood of Christ, that represents,
in this allegory, the divine spiritual essence for excellence and the Cross of the
Rosicrucians, which is the human body and on which blooms the Rose, who
symbolizes the divine spiritual essence, developed by the Initiate.
 THEURGY AND MYSTICAL PRACTICE

In the Priory of Sion we study the esoteric discipline in general, Magical and
theurgic.

For Theurgy we mean all that baggage of ritual knowledge, theoretical and
operative which would put in connection with the "One" or "All", or "Universal
Consciousness", even called "God".

Theurgy is the esoteric Art which can allow men to "Experience" being "God
"or other entities and even other spiritual realities when it is still in mortal
guise.

Operational approach adopted by the Priory of Sion from the educational

phase to the ritualistic operations, bases its foundations on functionality and
intuitivity, through a reworking of his knowledge which is the result of a
culmination of their wealth of esoteric knowledge, managed in an intuitive
system organized in a modern operational key, which branches off essentially
in a learning management and in an experimental methodology designed in a
manner which is effective for the individual member and to the general
experiential enrichment which consequently then get reflected on the whole
Order.

It will be possible for the true Initiate, reaching such a practice efficiency and
such a degree of spiritual connection with the "One" or other exogenous
spiritual realities, that he will be able to effortlessly make the experience of
different ultra-worldly entities, in a psychological and spiritual level ; each of
these experiences will have powerful consequences in the Initiate awareness,
making him grow inwardly up to unimaginable heights for an ordinary layman;
This process continued over time, is called "Deification".

Through the Deification it is possible to progressively bring the human

condition closer to the Divine's, gradually over time, with results in daily life,
simply inconceivable than previous possibilities.

It 'also known, that any progress achieved in this life, as well as change the
quality of the same, will have a decisive weight, after physical death, since the
difference between men and Gods is essentially this enlargement of
Consciousness and Awareness.

Die after passing a certain path, means being masters of our life even after
"death".

The Priory of Sion, over time, has been able to investigate its knowledge, put
it always in discussion without never trust blindly really no single aspect as a
Dogma, but relying instead experimental assiduous practice, through the
question to spiritual entities and the connection to the One.

It was through this kind of path that we have come to understand in depth the
esoteric's mechanics, inviolable by the majority of Adepts, confined in a
dogmatic approach.

We have therefore drawn a new "coordinate" successfull since the start for the
Novice as or the Initiate, as well for the Adept.

MEDITATION

Meditation is the "key" that allows us to get in connection with different

realities, internal or external to our person, otherwise totally inaccessible.

Our subconscious mind, for example, is not something that can emerge
spontaneously through a deliberate act, not that you give way to be solicited
by a state of altered consciousness, such as hypnosis or meditation.

In our subconscious, they reside a wisdom and a completely free intelligence

from every frame of mind or inhibition; reach the subconscious therefore, can
afford to have access to a resource of potential not comparable to those of
which we are normally conscious of, which are subject to psychological and
cultural constraints.

The systems of thought, very frequently, can direct us to solutions that take
into account only a part of the possibilities, tending to omit routes that are not
consistent with your usual way of thinking and seeing things; This precludes
the possibility of easily guess solutions outside of our personal system of
thought and this does not help the growth of the individual.

Whenever during meditation emerge thoughts that enlighten the

understanding of something, we have brought some of that wisdom to the
conscious level, and at the same time we are learning new perspectives of
thought.

Meditation also has a mystical application; it is common practice during the

rites, enter meditation, using special techniques, which may vary depending
on the subject or the ritual, in order to expand our ability to "decode" external
inputs from us urged and otherwise imperceptible.

Meditation can bring the organic mind to be more in touch with our spiritual
component implementing the ability of perception, thus allowing us to see
things that we could never see from an ordinary stage of consciousness.

The aim then is to open, through this channel, direct communication with
spiritual entities of any nature; by some altered state of consciousness, a
spiritual entity can be seen both with our eyes closed than in some cases
having open eyes; the possibility of a high quality of communication is in the
depth and stability of the altered state of consciousness, which is the
"channel" for receiving certain signals that our brain and our sensory
apparatus, usually fail to register.
Through this operativity, it would be possible to communicate, and in some
cases, see, spiritual entities of all kinds, including of course the dead.

With meditation, you can also have access to the memories inherited at a
latent level from our ancestors (often mistaked as "past lives"); These
memories are not normally accessible and are located respectively in both our
spiritual part as in our biological memory.

Using different methods, you can reach both the spiritual memory than the
organic one.

In accordance with the statement made by Milton Erickson, psychiatrist,

psychotherapist and U.S. researcher, biological memories, are organized to
"watertight compartments", being "tied" to a definite psychological state,
relative to that precise memory, just like dreams or certain memories of a time
when the subject was under the influence of psychotropic drugs, alcohol or
drugs.

Every night we dream, but we remember a very little part of what we dreamt,
the next day, because we are no longer in that state of sleeping, so, the brain
does not give us access anymore to those memories.

It is believed that this mechanism also applies to the memories inherited at a

latent level from our ancestors.

The only way to access all of these memories, it is using a "password" like an
hypnotic state or reaching an altered state of consciousness through a
meditation technique.

RITUALS

The ritual is a procedure that can have a different function depending on the
objective, the circumstances and the type of the same ritual.

The characteristics that can be taken from the ritual, may be very different;
sometimes the function can be almost exclusively ceremonial, otherwise, in its
most transcendent and mystical functions, can be structured in an allegorical
manner, giving rise to symbolic representations or can be structured more
simply, through a more direct use of symbols and a simpler operativity.

In the latter case mentioned, the ritual essentially performs the function of
establishing a connection with spiritual entities of any nature or with the
G.A.O.T.U. or the "One", or what is also called the "Universal Consciousness",
depending on the desired definition, but can also be used to obtain a more
direct contact with our spiritual component, which can be invoked exactly like
any other spiritual entity.

Rituals can be collective or individual, generally, during the path of initiation,

rituals should first be individual, for the Novices,in order to give them time to
cultivate the basic skills and master the basic notions; at a later time, after an
initial path of individual work, the Novice is introduced to the collective
rituals, in order to form the Initiate with the most intense and significant
experiences.

Before begin to learn and practice any kind of ritual, it is good to understand
the basic operating element, namely that the ritual is served in the "material
world", but where it really takes place is in a dimension which is not visible,
and that we reach through our spiritual component, which works as a
"bridge"; then, when for example we trace and gaze to a symbol on the floor,
that symbol does not really acts in the place where it is; that symbol acts
within us, in our inner being, or to say it better, in our spiritual component,
and from there, its effect extends to the "non-visible dimension" where are all
spiritual beings, including our own; space and time intended as coordinates
relative to the material universe cannot be applied to the aforementioned
dimension; for these reasons, when an entity is visibly manifested in this
material reality this does not really happens in that place, where we are with
our body, but in another dimension, where the conscience of the spirit
invoked, and the Initiate's, meet; vision occurs then through mystical ecstasy
which is the altered state of consciousness that makes more invasive the
influence of our spiritual component to our brain, increasing the receptivity, so
the ability to perceive external inputs, also from several dimensions, which are
perceived by our spiritual component that sends the image to the brain; while
this process takes place with your eyes open, it will seem that the invoked
spirit entity stands in our own room.

Considering the huge impact, especially at the beginning, of this type of

experience over the person, the program that we use, to introduce Novices to
the real practice, is very cautious and gradual, so we have the opportunity to
be able to identify in time any psychological effect that might reveal the
incompatibility of the subject to the aforementioned practice.
 THE MAGICKAL THINKING

Magic, essentially can be defined as the adequate level of knowledge to

change a certain reality, according to our will.

Conversely, to make a pure example, you can tell that by looking at an

individual, in a professional or social contest, if he does not master the
knowlegde of the environment, he will suffer the latter, because not knowing
the laws and mechanisms that regulates it, will only suffer them without being
able to use them to his advantage.

Magical thinking is the origin, the "vehicle", which let us achieve our aims,
which mechanical actions, are not descriptible in full by vulgar science and
has as its source from the entirety of Human Resources such as "human" as
Divine; this desire, this thought that interacts with the material plane, can
create a whole series of phenomena which may affect the environment around
us or even influence the will of others and this can be done through
mechanisms, both common and well-founded knowledge than also esoteric ;
each no less important than others.

Aleister Crowley, called "Magick", every act of will, which through one or
more actions, it materializes in the real plane.

One can say that the Magic would trespass from the only ritual plan; Magic is
all that we produce as a result of our will, through actions.

Mainly in this sense, the Magic is a real thing which is manifested through the
various types of skills, not just esoteric and can change people's lives.

There are many people, who have not learned any esoteric secret or ritual, but
they already have magical potential operating, innately, in a very effective and
developed way, which allows them to shape the reality they live in a powerful
manner, in relation to their desires and expectations.

This is the first realization to assimilate, in order not to build a "castle on the
foundations of papier mache".

This anticipation, absolutely does not want to diminish the value of the
Magickal, esoteric and ritual tradition, but only reasonably put at the center of
all this the Man, of which all this is born, being the Man a Ray of the "Divine
Essence" or a "God's Ray"; understand this means getting the proper
perspective regarding the Man and Magick, therefore be better placed to
exercise it by improving themselves and sometimes, consequently, the world
around us.

Aleister Crowley said

"Do what thou wilt"

This statement, has a decisive existential significance, since in today's society,

perhaps even more than in the past, it is increasingly difficult "to do what you
want", being currently at a social level, constantly more and more prevalent
mental profile more conducive to a materialistic approach and be based on
some sort of concept of "survival", which automatically brings the individual
described in hierarchically putting many things that are part of his daily life
for essentially practical reasons, the first to get satisfied before his intimate
and real will, so before himself, thus compromising his ability to realize its full
potential as an individual.

Economical, professional, and other mundane ambitions, desires and

expectations of others, can in many cases, dramatically affect a person's
priorities, until it practically forget those who are his true desires and his real
nature, that instead of coming explored, will be buried in the illusion of
obtaining a more concrete convenience.

We are convinced that nowaday,the modern Man, should find the right balance
with the external environment, which allows him to live in harmony with the
world around and at the same time preserve himself, in order to have the
freedom which could allow him to develop in all his potential.

Ritual and esoteric component of Magick, can add "energy" and other
adjuvants elements to the magical "natural" influence, born from our will and
our resources, providing a powerful and crucial support to our work, but if we
want it to work it can not be a mere substitute.

PRIORY OF SION AND FREEMASONRY

Freemasonry is an ancient and noble Institution, a Universal Brotherhood

based on Initiatory Work and planetary cooperation consecrated to the
spiritual progress of humanity.

Freemasonry aims primarily as objectives the improvement of Man, the search

for truth, freedom of conscience, respect for self and others and tolerance and
shall endeavor to extend to all men the commendable example that springs
from the bonds of love that unite its Brothers.

Become a Freemason, it can undoubtedly be a significant existential

experience and enrich anyone who chooses that path with a sincere and
resolute spirit of commitment that this important Initiatory Path requires.

Freemasonry was certainly, for the Priory of Sion, a cultural influence.

Many of the masonic symbolism, philosophic and cultural heritage, have

become part of the Priory of Sion's.

Freemasonry is a venerable institution, honorable and valuable to mankind in

history as in the present.
The Priory of Sion agrees with Freemasonry over different principles, ideals
and systems of thought.

Several of our Members are also Freemasons, and we consider it an

enrichment for our Order.

The Priory of Sion, while sharing some cultural and philosophical aspects with
the Freemasonry, can not be considered at all a masonic or a para-masonic
association, because they are not performed, within it, none of the rituals of
Freemasonry, at the same time, the hierarchical and operative structure of the
Priory, has very few elements, in common with Freemasonry, certainly no
more than any other initiatory Order.

SANG REAL

Anyone who is interested in the knowledge of the events related to Rennes le

Chateau and consequently to his connection with the Order of the Priory of
Sion, is looking to know what there is today as objectively tangible, real and
provable on the issue about the supposed descendants of Jesus Christ and the
Magdalene.

We are here to give an answer that is adequate to this public context.

With regard to the specific subject under an historical perspective, we confirm

that we obviously do not hold, not even remotely, any certain documentary
evidence confirming the possibility of a proven and demonstrable descent;
however, this possible Jesus Christ's descent should be not just Merovingian,
as commonly known, but also external to the same.

We believe that the coherent chronological order of the events reported by the
sources and the relative reliability of the alleged recipients sources that have
allowed us to receive these testimonies from the past can be a reasonable step
for the comfort of these testimonies from the point of view of the direct
receivers, that are us as the Priory of Sion, but, because of all those factors,
we do not have the indisputable certainty and proven reliability, giving the
objective and concrete evidence capable of valuing these testimonies beyond
any reasonable doubt; We can not therefore take moral and ethical
responsibility of promoting this belief merely by virtue of deductions for us
broadly plausible but not reasonably demonstrable.

What we would like to highlight, for the first time in this public context, is that
in reality, the Priory of Sion, which can not and will not ignore this oral
heritage in its entirety and in its connection, for us clear, specificly and
directly with respect to different and particular initiatiatory teachings of the
Order, which are secrets kept from us and perpetrated experimentally, has
decided to identify as Sang Real or even as the Holy Grail, not only with the
lineage of Jesus Christ, but also the combination born by an alchemic secret
identified in time and potentially accessible to anyone, rear contextualized as
a missing piece to our previous initiatory operating system and a consequent
achievement of an initiatory achievement given that, in fact joined this
alchemical secret, results in that empowering of conscience which could allow
the Man's condition to get closer to the Divine Being's condition.

The message of Jesus Christ was above all things, esoteric; the aim was to
make available to common people, the knowledge of esoteric notions that till
that time were exclusive right of the Priests and certain noblemen.

EARTHLY LIFE

Mortality is a parenthesis of our eternal existence; the situation in which our

spiritual component, experiences the material existence with all its
limitations.

The material limits of earthly life, make it possible challenges and otherwise
impossible situations, which are part of a growth path that will continue after
this mortal life, but in other ways.

Measure the own inner capacities, competing with a material environment

and using finite and limited resources, it is the only way through which we can
effectively compare and improve.

Are needed concrete and material limits, to test skills, attitudes, knowledge
and spiritual temper.

Every earthly experience, being limited by the physicality and concreteness,

can provide the illusion of the provisional and of the feeling of unstability,
which makes possible the experience of danger, enabling us to live them as if
they were real and absolute, making possible a life experience that would be
impossible to live, when you are not connected to a body, since by
disembodied we remember all lives and is known to be eternal.

All these physical and biological laws, which give rise to certain situations, are
real only here in this physical dimension and not in the Eternal, and only here,
we can have this experience and get into any interior enrichment that follows.

People come here to make a unique experience, where you live situations and
train skills which should otherwise untrainable from an eternal reality, where
you do not have a biological body and where you are in an environment that is
not tied to certain limits that force us to engage our personal resources and
even unfortunately to suffer, as would never be possible, if we become aware
of our eternal nature.

In this earthly existence, what matters is to make a life experience and

understand its content.
In this perspective, we believe that at the individual level of everyday life the
concept of "error" or "mistake", as commonly conceived, is an objective false,
in the sense that we do not believe we can ever really do something "wrong"
in the sense commonly intended. In fact every time we act, everyone does the
"best he can" in an attempt to complete his "experience"; It is the common
culture that classifies unduly an act as wrong in an absolute sense, unfairly
judging its author, evaluating gestures or an action solely and exclusively from
the material result which gets generated by it, but in reality, the individual has
just made the " best that was possible "in an attempt to realize himself, which
can not be seen as a mistake, as you can not assume that a hypothetical artist
or a scientist is really wrong, in attempts in which seeks to test his theories or
express his talent.

It is a lack of knowledge of the general situation, to give rise to the

aforementioned misunderstanding.

We believe that as the Universe continues to expand, so it may also be the

Consciousness, both individual as well as the Universal Consciousness, to
continue expanding; because of this it is reasonable to assume that also the
amount of Souls is possibly increasing.

For this reason, many Souls possibly are of recent origin and have to
experience all at the same time, many already old Souls, do not come back to
try their hand again in this earthly existence.

It's for this reason that most of the people are slaves of the experiences of life,
such as wealth, sex and other earthly activities; is a problem that also takes
place at the cognitive level, as long as the individual has still not assimilated
the experience in its entirety, it will be dependent on it, just because
instinctively he feels the need to "own" the experience itself.

The child who experiences the chocolate, it is greedy and efforts in curbing
his appetite, this is because that experience, however banal, has not yet been
assimilated and for this reason, the priority is expressed in its repetition.

Desiring something too much, is a "poverty index" in its context and does not
necessarily mean a material poverty, but more often an "inner" one; till the
subject fails to assimilate sufficiently that experience, he will stay dependent
from the desire to repeat it whatever his true will is.

It is essentially a cognitive problem, consequently intellectual and spiritual;

the individual repeats several times, but could fail to become aware enough
over that experience, which is why, often without realizing it, he feels the
desperate need to repeat the experience on and on, becoming objectively a
succubus to it; this can happen with any material experience, such as power,
money, sex and vices.

It can be asserted, that the concept of "abstinence", professed by different

spiritual doctrines, is actually an absolute misunderstanding, because in fact,
considered this vision, not counting the sterile abstinence as a goal in itself,
we consider the evolution over this aspect, being able, once innerly reached
awareness in certain experiences, to not being dependent to them anymore,
becoming truly able to choose whether to follow or not drives or desires.

It can be concluded by asserting that during life the repetition of the

experiences is therefore an essential and powerful mechanic to assimilate
concepts, basic skills and every experiences which will surely lead to the
growth, regardless of its nature; at the same time, it is not simply repeating
an experience many times, enough for the inner assimilation, but it is
essential, the training of the cognitive ability, as well as the intellectual and
spiritual's, which can make the assimilation of experiences effective, in
comparison to the number of times that were repeated.

"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom"

William Blake

THE BIOLOGICAL MACHINE

The human body is the tool that allows us to experience life through the
senses, faculties and talents, with whom and through, we come into contact
and relationship with the environment.

The chemical, sensory apparatus, the psychological mechanics, are just some
of the tools in itself perfect, but often fallible and potentially misleading in
their use, but allowing us to interpret the world in which we live and interact.

It can be said that essentially, in its primary function, much of what we are
biologically, thus also psychologically and cerebrally, is a very efficient defense
system, which is designed and programmed in almost all of its capabilities,
primarily to protect against environmental threats of any kind by us
perceptible.

If we put a hand on a hot radiator, we burn, if we do not move right away, we

receive a sensorial pain signal, as it is also true that if it crosses our minds an
unpleasant thought, even the chemical balance, following a nerve stimulation,
at that time will undergo a change, to make us feel unpleasant sensations,
which warn us, through the body, that the thought (or the cause that
generates it) is not good for us, producing stress and triggering other
psychological mechanics that undermine the well-being in the immediate,
communicating the need to put a remedy to the source of the discomfort,
always with the ultimate goal, then, to preserve our integrity, whatever the
aspect concerned.
When this biological machine essentially perfect, feels safe, then begins to put
in use senses, skills and quality, not only in order to preserve itself, but to
express themselves and be realized, allowing them to exploit the potential of
the individual.

It is in the hereditary factor, expressed through the hereditary characters, at

their turn, determined by genes, in which resides the traits which determine
the individual's potential.

It is in the manifestation of the characteristics that occurs during the

interaction with the environment, that the human body, using the chemistry,
as well as the physical and mental faculties, concentrates into something
undoubtedly higher than the mere self-preservation, and it is only in these
circumstances, the individual has the opportunity to develop and exercise
their actual and real potential, and it is here that the concept of "life" finally
transcends that of mere existence, to indicate a new horizon, different and
distinct for each of us.

At the same time, one can comprehend how a perfect tool as the body, as seen
in its entirety, with obvious reference also to the nerve and brain complex, can
deceive, when the intellectual resources are not able to cope with the
situations, and then with the environment. It can be fascinating, to make a
self-analysis, during the day, or even during the week, with estimates of all our
wrong impressions of which we realized, we had failed to perceive efficiently
people and environment. Often we are not aware of our own effective
fallibility, because we tend to notice most of the errors that generates
consequences and practical implications.

The reality of the environment may not be as easy to interpret as it may

appear more often and in addition, the psychological and chemical body
factor, can easily distort further an objective view, where there are no
sufficiently capable tools, intended as the ability to interpret it.

Take for example all those things, commonly regarded as the material source
of well-being, such as certain forms of leisure, relationships with the opposite
sex or the fulfillment of professional and economic ambitions and ask
ourselves, how the individual, case by case, is more or less able to manage the
impact of these experiences in his life.

There are many cases of people who end up compromising themselves

seriously, in every aspect, to pursue passions and experiences, of which do not
really know how to handle the emotional and psychological impact; just think
of those who have squandered fortunes in sexual adventures or who is ruined
by gambling, drugs or other vices.

Probably is not the experience itself the problem, but the ability to manage
itself, which can only be determined by the individual's cognitive ability and
the inner fruit that has derived from the experiences.

It is plausible to assume that the more an experience has been internalized,

the more the latter, belongs to us, under a certain point of view of the inner
assimilation; This automatically implies a decline in the need to repeat it.
A simple example might be a 7 year old child who begins to drink milk with
chocolate, maybe at the beginning he will perceive it as a phenomenal
experience, but then, gradually, he will better manage the desire of it. With
age the experiences become more complex, but the mechanics remains
unchanged, while changing the complexity of the object of the experience,
such as being an undoubtedly more simple internalize the experience of
consumption of a beverage, than the relationship with the opposite sex or the
vices and passions of every kind, as well as any ambition degenerated into
something pathological.

It is at this point that it seems legitimate to ask what is the proportion of real
mental and psychological independence attributable to an individual who has
come to be dominated by any addiction, be it alcohol, drugs, or other vices,
without excluding the occurrence of difficulty of self-control in the sexual
sphere (often misunderstood with the "sentimental life"), which may result in
dangerous compromises in choosing the partner; this question, is placed
under an overall point of view, in an attempt to determine which is the
boundary beyond which, a mind is sufficiently capable of metabolizing and
understand an experience, to the point of internalize enough to be finally
capable to "choose" when in front of a potentially tempting situation, rather
than being overwhelmed. It is questioned the very effective individual
ppsychological independence in relation to its intellectual limits.

It must be underlined that in addition to personal limitations in intellectual

ability, several aggravating factors could easily worsen the whole, as
environmental's and the general life experience of the person concerned.

At the same time, it is essential to admit, that whatever the individual's

resources and the consequent ability to metabolize and internalize the
experiences, is still needed the experience lived and repeated an appropriate
number of times before being assimilated and absorbed sufficiently.
 ROLE OF MAN

We believe that man's role in the world around him, should not be short-
sighted dominance over other creatures or obtuse, destructive and blind sense
of ownership toward the planet like there was is no tomorrow than for the
present generation, but, an harmonious coexistence with the environment that
houses and other creatures that are actually invested with the same dignity
and objective importance in relation to man.

One of the major misconceptions to deceive the human being is the gross
presumption to be "superior" in value and importance than the other
creatures inhabitants of the planet only because of his cognitive resources and
his ability to impact on the environment in which he lives; This is manifested
in the most typical demonstration of petty limitations of human potential
degrading into the most blind ignorance which then finds manifestation on the
material plane through excessive exploitation of the environment and the
harassment of the animals; these attitudes are dangerous to the other
creatures and to the planet, but for the man himself as well because
endangering of its even more complex inner growth, compared to other
species, which will never happen without an adequate understanding of the
value of all existing natural life and the development of an harmonious
relations with it.

This false belief of superiority or right of having no regard of the environment

and the lives of other creatures, born from a simplistic and crude branch of
modern pseudo-culture blindly centered in the defense of human material
supremacy over other species and it does not takes into consideration all the
spiritual component and Divine nature of the animated creatures.

Man has the same dignity as other existing creatures, no more, no less; every
creature has heard a Soul, this spiritual part can be "expressed" with greater
potential and consequently gets furtherly improved by a larger mind
capability, this means a greater chance of evolving and perfecting the
spriritual side, no more existential value of a life compared to another.

Many ancient cultures, custodian of a sophisticated knowledge of the spiritual

world, like the Egyptians, just as an example, knew that in animals there was
this "divine spark" as humans; not for nothing, the cat was an animal
considered sacred and were dedicated to him works, laws and sculptures.

Man compared to other species, is more able to perfect spiritually at an higher

potential level, but also in the realization of this potential, however, is not to
become objectively higher, as "Being" value, compared to other living
creatures which are his brothers in creation, but only states have reached a
higher level of evolution and this does not mean that two emanations of the
same "Divine matter" holds a different value or a different significance
depending on the attainment of a certain state of spiritual awareness, changes
only the present state of development, not the objective value of each
individual life.
Every creature is a "God Ray" equal to all others; beam that is embodied in
the body to make a lifetime experience on the material plane, different in type
and in the performance, but from the very same source.

The mind is a tool for our Divine Being, in a manner essentially similar to how
it could be another member of the rest of the body, even if technically, more
directly related to our spiritual part.

Unfortunately our own mind can trick us, through this abundance of cognitive
abilities, which, when used to an inadequate level of awareness, may give rise
to the phenomenon of concentration in sectoral intellectual resources, which
then prevents the individual to contemplate the "overview", creating false
beliefs, because based on sectoral and arbitrary informations.

The businessman who decides to illegally download the dross of its structures
at sea, in the same land in which he lives, in order to earn more and to open
further branches, later may eventually cry his same son felt ill because of this;
this hypothetical person is not intended to be equipped with a "wise"
intelligence, but with a short-sighted rationality, blurred because the influence
of a crude and simplistic sub-culture, characteristic of this era and which has
not been able to cope intellectually and spiritually.

We are convinced that this disastrous cultural heritage accumulated over

time, it can be today, paradoxically, a valuable tool to "reflect us" in what
we're doing, letting us better recognize who we are and realize ourselves
spiritually and intellectually through the actions we take.

SPIRITUALITY

The human being, is essentially composed of two parts, an organic part and a
spiritual one.

Our organic part is the one through which the spiritual part is expressed when
it can.

This distinction is clearer, as it is easy to confuse our mental and physiological

activities with the spiritual influence.

Most of the time, in practice and daily life, almost every thought is only the
result of a pure brain processing, which operates exactly like a computer,
performing calculations that take the form of thoughts.

In this sense, then, we have a spiritual influence on our personal biological

part, that when it emerges, our mind gets in contact with our '' essence"
which is our true nature, expanding our human dimension beyond the
ordinary.

Our spiritual part thus contributes to the formation of thought emerged from
the biological mind, through inspiration, suggestions, insights and other
methods which are also forms of thought, but very often different in content
from ordinary thought, that comes from the mind of the physical body;
distinguish the matrix of these two kinds of thinking, it is possible in some
cases, for those who have assimilated certain notions and has learned to
interpret the quality and type of one's thoughts in this context.

It's clear that the more time our personal intellectual activity is based on the
repetition of systems and ways of perceiving themselves and the world,
approved, automatic, superficial and not introspective, the lesser our spiritual
part could express itself by taking to the surface, which is our organic mind,
our "true self."

The cerebral capacity, which can be consider a dowry, is actually, in some

perspective, just a limit, like many others, if we consider that a non-embodied
spiritual entity does not need to process the thoughts through a physical
organ, linked to a defined limit in computational capabilities.

Not surprisingly, very often, it can happen to mentally solve a problem that
had not been able to solve with hours of reasonings, through an impromptu
insight received in a single moment, perhaps while even thought of something
else. That may be a thought that comes to us from the unconscious, or from
our spiritual mind or even from the Universal Consciousness or G.A.O.T.U.
Through the unconscious to our conscious mind.

It's necessary to expand the consciousness, thus collaterally our conscious

mind, to be capable to decode and understand the thoughts and suggestions
sent to us by the unconscious, which often serves as a bridge to the Universal
Consciousness.

Living the Spirituality then, does not mean only devote himself to studies and
related practices.

We just can not take care of our spiritual side unless we take care also of our
biological part; cure our biological part, so our brain mind and body, will give
us the basic harmony to receive the "seed" from our spiritual part, and then
we will make the experience of our spiritual side, even in this biological mind.

Our spiritual part, also holds the memory relative to our current life and our
other lives; this memory is inaccessible to the conscious, at a direct and
deliberate level, but it can be accessed, with subjective results, through a
variety of meditation techniques used alone or inside some ritual.
 SPIRITUAL AWARENESS

The walk taken by the seeker to achieve spiritual awareness within our Order,
is through the initiatic path.

We are talking about that journey, which brings man and his true nature, in
the center of his life, freeing him from any overly intrusive influence from the
outside world, which can undermine its inner harmony, interfering in the own
touch with yourself.

The world in which we live, is our place whe can challenge and experience
material realities; the place where we can enjoy the earthly things, living
situations and make the experience; very often it happens that, overwhelmed
by the frenzy, we come to deceptively identify ourselves with illusory things of
material life that attract us or with some of our ambitions, in the mistaken
belief that we can only achieve own realization through these.

This process, takes us away dramatically from coming into contact with our
true nature, shifting our attention to other things, and creating a very
treacherous illusory mechanism, which feeds itself with instant gratification in
terms of obtaining earthly things, or getting opportunities in daily life or other
material benefits.

The problem does not lie in the worldly life and the joys that can result from
material goods, but in the size of which it can reach inside the individual
interiority, evicting him from being the center of himself, putting at the first
place of importance objects and materials from the outside world; this
mechanism so common in the modern man, always has devastating and
immediate effects over the person, that by living an unnatural interiority,
where the center is no longer himself, but the things that come from the
surrounding world, he suffers and loses orientation, not knowing how to find
the real realization, but the illusion of being able to make it through things or
situations that are external.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying the earthly things, even in abundance,
whether in a healthy way, as long as these goods, which should be the graces
received, becoming a source of obsession, insecurity, frustration, which does
not allow us to afford living without.

Great inner weakness, fragility and instability, are reflected in who can be
happy and in harmony only when provided with things that are only material,
because cannot consider the most important the own self; those who adopt
this view of things will always be scared, potentially blackmailed by
everything and everyone, frustrated, because to feel good, will always need
something that comes from outside, maybe even when that something you can
only receive from others, falling succubus in their power.

The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri's famous masterpiece, is a work

perennially current, especially under philosophical, symbolic and humanistic
interpretation and fits very well, as an example of the way for the attainment
of spiritual awareness.

The author takes us on a symbolic journey inside the more intimate and
profound interiority of the human spirit through sophisticated symbolism and
allegorical representations of great depth.

In the work of Dante, are portrayed with ruthless efficiency, the consequences
of a low inner awareness, the individual, or as in the Canto 5th of the lustful
depicts the damned as "at the mercy of the winds that shakes them" or as in
Canto 7 ° about the miserlies who, having devoted their lives to money, then in
Hell are obliged, as a punishment, to the useless gesture to move perpetually
rocks or other heavy objects; this allegory unequivocally represents the futility
of their actions perpetrated in life; every concrete manifestation of weakness
will be painted in its psychological and behavioral mechanics, through the
extraordinarily effective symbolic representations.

Dante Alighieri held the title of Knight Kadosh at the F.S.K.I.P.F.T. the ancient
"Fidei Sanctae Kadosh Imperialis Principatus Frater Templarius", an Order of
the Templar filiation; as many initiates of his time, he expressed philosophical
and cultural messages in a code, which was not possible to get disclosed by
the authorities, which at that time, forbid the liberty of thought and
expression.

"O you, who have clear minds, take note of the meaning that conceals itself
under the veil of clouded verse!

(Hell IX 61-63)

A direct testimony of his deep bond with the Templar Cavalry, Dante, in Canto
XXXIII of Paradise, will be led to the perfect vision of the bliss of God as the
one who instituted the Rule of the Order: Saint Bernard de Clairvaux.

The Representation of the human condition, through the icons of Hell,

Purgatory and Paradise, is a subtle metaphor, but at the same time inclusive of
the whole human life in its existence.

The man, in life, begins in Hell forcibly. As experimenter of everything, in the

novelty, he is overwhelmed and he risks of falling victim to himself, by greed
or by the search of excess; this is the phase in which the man is "owned" by
the things he desires, that they appear bigger than him and who acquire a
disproportionate weight in the interiority of the individual, who can not hold
the center of its size, independently of if he is getting or not these "material
goals."

So is the Purgatory to represent the stage of inner evolution, where man,

while continuing to suffer, under the thumb of the material realities placed in
its path and his interior inadequacies, he realizes that for the first time begins
an inner journey , in order to overcome all this.
Finally, it is with Paradise, which is to realize, in man, the inner dimension's
harmony, which stems from a wisdom and a mature, conscious inner life,
where man is no longer a slave to his fears, his ambitions, or of his vices or
anything external to him, who can now "dominate"; he finally becomes the
center of himself, and making satellite anything else; just after all this, he
earns Paradise, which is its final inner state now free and sovereign.

It's just striking, that it's considered necessary, for the poet, to live this
material dimension, facing from the beginning the so-called "Inferno", if we
want then to consciously reach the "Paradise".

Man who has completed this inner journey, is not realizing abstention, even
minimally, from the enjoyment of material pleasures, or of earthly life, on the
contrary, he will achieve the same experience and the new joy, in addition, of
finally being able to enjoy daily life and material things, even more fully, for
the first time, because now living in freedom and independence from any
mental and spiritual inner cage.

BIOLOGICAL "REINCARNATION"

The definition of Reincarnation, commonly refers to the process that brings

the spiritual component of man or of another creature in a new body.

According with our studies and more recent investigations, we came to the
convinction that brings us to exclude this possibility.

Technically, it can be said that when the man gives birth to his offspring, in
fact, has already taken place a kind of "reincarnation", someway, through the
DNA and the hereditary Genes.

The person will inherit aspects of the character, talents, skills, and other
characteristics that belonged to his parents, grandparents and ancestors.

Buddhism, which had identified some of these hereditary mechanics, but not
knowing the mechanisms of DNA or its existence, misunderstood these
processes as spiritual, while identifying, in our opinion, many other real and
important aspects of these processes.

Indeed, it has to be consider, that anyone alive today, benefits at a latent level,
of the memory of the ancestors, although this is not available on a conscious
level. This dynamic, on the individual, has the same repercussions of what
Buddhists call "reincarnation."

To prove this, just consider the talent inherited by so-called "Sons of art" or
science; just think of the great musicians, especially pianists, category highly
representative in this context, through cases that are not at all uncommon, as
pianist composers since the age of nine years, demonstrating a possession of
both artistic and human skills, really too early to be solely the result of the
study and application.

It seems that this baggage, as this information in the DNA of the heir, emerge
with ease when it comes into contact with activities that require the use of
precisely those qualities or talents inherited at a latent level.

At the same time, it is clear that will be inherited also the deficiencies or even
negative qualities in all that concerns the person.

The Bible says that the "sins" of the fathers will fall upon the children, which
will be punished for the sins of their predecessors.

"The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge"*

(Jeremiah, 31)

What was meant is that through hereditary genes, also the negative aspects
and the bad qualities can be inherited from our ancestors; like it happens with
positive qualities, even human flaws may "grow", being implemented through
epigenetic mechanics, leaving a trace in the DNA, in the form of information,
which can be inherited through the Genes.

It is coherent to infer that might be inherited, latently, even traumas, which

can affect the life of the heir of the genetic heritage; at this purpose, it is
significative the documentation of healings through the so-called "regressive
hypnosis", therapy in which the patient is brought into hypnosis to "regress"
to the alleged "Past Lives". In this procedure, through hypnosis, would be
reached the traumatic event in the memory that would have originated the
psychological issue, in order to become aware of it with the aim to metabolize
it, in order to heal the trauma.

We believe plausible that those memories are from the genetic patrimony of
the heir's ancestors, which could influence positively or negatively on the
psychological life of the heir.

In this sense, we see a further similarity, to what is called Karma by buddhists,

applied only to the genetic inheritance and not to a supposed spiritual
heritage.

We believe, according with our studies, reflections and research, that the
individual's Spiritual Component, is born with the body, through DNA, which
needs a biological body to form a Spiritual Component.

It is in the DNA that would then also be present the code for the development
of the Spiritual Component, formed from what is technically classified as
"Dark Matter" in physics and cosmology.
This "Spiritual Body", then it may separate from the biological body at the
time of its death.

The purpose of biological life, would then be, primarily, to give life to us also
as a Spiritual Component, through a biological body, only to then abandone it
like a butterfly leaves the previous caterpillar rests.

 UNIVERSAL PRAYER TO THE FATHER CREATOR

"Father Creator, i am a part of you, who, once born into this earthly existence,
forgot to be it; help me to remember it again and to be more and more conscious
and aware as time passes.

Make me to realize truly till the point of understanding that every time i despise
my neighbor or any other form of life, i despise in reality a part of you, because
you are the Father Creator of the whole Universe, you're all the existing
consciousness, you are all the love that exists, but also everything that exists.

Father Creator, you know the reason for everything and everything, having you
yourself created all that exists, and being itself at the same time; help me to
understand and to do everything i have to do inside this experience of mine, that
is the reason why i am on this earth and my only way to grow to become what i
should and must become.

Help me, my brothers and my sisters to make this world a harmonious place,
where it is more possible for everyone to live out their existence, without having
our lives get wasted because of intolerance, cruelty, ignorance or blind greed.

Father Creator, give us your support in the growth and spread of this Egregore,
which is made of love for you that you're the Father Creator of the Universe and
also of all that exists, help the growth and spread of this Egregore which is made
of love for us and our lives, help the growth and spread of this Egregore which is
made of love for our neighbor, whether human or animal, help the growth and
spread of this Egregore which is made of love for all that exists and also made of
the desire for a future bringing together the peoples rather than separate them,
because any spiritual path that is genuinely enlightened, can only unite and
never divide what comes from God and is part of him.

Help us through the knowledge to develop the will to know ourselves, to

understand our real nature, so, at the same time, to be able to understand why
we are here and to be able to honor our mission.

Amen

Looking at this historical period, extremely dark, so critical for all humanity, the
Order of the Priory of Sion, has decided to publish this Universal Prayer, which
can be recited by anyone, not being in contrast with any religious or spiritual
beliefs, the only requirement is to believe in the existence of a Supreme Being,
which we call here the Father Creator .

It is not necessary to belong to the Order to play and join in this Universal
Prayer as brothers and sisters as children of God.

Man to evolve and develop in all its potential needs to live a long time and in an
environment that is harmonious and peaceful, in contact with nature and in
serene relations with the others, without the interference of wars, economic
crisis and manifestations of violence of any kind.

Our aim is to create an Egregore permanently helping humanity, which could

transmit to the others, certain essential notions which are essential to the inner
evolutionary leap needed for the survival and evolution of the human race and
of all the existing species in the planet.

It is not a mere coincidence, the fact that at this moment of the history, many
problems are simultaneously emerged to plague the people, from economic
crisis, to social or diplomatic ones; all this is functional to a process of
awareness, which we absolutely do not want to attempt avoid, we intend rather
to help the natural process of understanding.

Mankind is dealing with the consequence on the concrete plane, of his own
inner and spiritual conflicts unresolved, which are manifesting in all their
preponderance, crashing down on people's lives.

In the attempt, to make this process of understanding more smoother and fast,
we must first become aware of some existential truth individually, and secondly,
to deal honestly with others in this regard.
In this context, we are trying to "engineer" the process, fusing our spiritual
knowledge in this experiment with the latest available scientific knowledge.

The idea was born inspired by the experiment that took place in 1993 in
Washington, D.C. in collaboration with the police and local authorities, under
the control of an institutional review board, made up of sociologists and
criminologists of the most respected American Universities, a group of 4.000
participants practiced meditation aimed to peace and harmony by 7 June to 30
July of that year.

The actual abatement rate recorded on the subject of violent crimes such as
murders, robberies, assaults or rapes, was 23.3%.

The statistical probability that this result could coincide with a fortuitous change
in the crime rate was virtually zero (0,000000002%). Based on the results, the
event at steady state (the long-term effect would be achieved by a permanent
meditation of these 4.000 participants) was calculated as 48%, which is in
permanent halving of the rate of crime.

Scientists as a result of this and other experiments, agreed that the consistency
generated by a group of meditators in numbers equal to the square root of 1% of
the population has the power to influence measurably the quality of life for all.
For example, a group of 200 practitioners would be able to produce the results
detectable in a city of 4 million inhabitants (200 squared multiplied by 100), a
group of 1,600 practitioners may affect the entire population of the United States
and, according to same proportions, a group of 8400 participants in the
synchronized meditation would be able to instantly act on the entire planet's
population.
