Spirit Builders

Atop a 400-million-year-old monadnock outside of Atlanta Georgia called Arabia Mountain, wandering Bishops, occultists, mystics, and adepts of a multitude of traditions, link arms in mutual aid and support while administering the mysterious points-chauds empowerments and performing various workings of the clergy of the Gnostic Church. Operating under the inclusive banner of Free Illuminism, these individuals from all walks of life work a progressive form of initiation by linking the points empowerments with the Antient & Primitive Rite of Memphis+Misraïm, as expressed by the 1921-22 Ecclesiastical Revision of the Rite. Each individual empowered from the Arabia Mountain working is free to develop and research the mysteries of the points and their alignment to this progressive arm of Freemasonry. This book is the result of such exploration. +PALAMAS, working with his companion in the mysteries and wife, SALOME+, has merged together the two worlds of the Voudon Gnostic inspired points-chauds empowerments with the degrees of the Rites of Memphis & Misraïm in an innovative and unique system that is fully workable and expresses the living tradition that stems from Arabia Mountain and the godfather of the Illuminist movement, Grand General Hierophant T Allen Greenfield. The approach is spiritist and the manner of Masonry propounded is mystical. The sincere individual that explores this powerful path will have access to the supersensual realms and encounter entities and energies that are consciousness expanding and life altering. In a single tome +PALAMAS has provided an introduction to the movement and practice of Free Illuminism, created an inspired three-degree system that unfolds the Sacred Doctrine of Memphis+Misraïm, and revealed an operative and spiritist ritual monitor and guide for working all 97 degrees. In this newly edited and annotated, two-volume 10-year anniversary edition, the student of the mysteries will discover further explorations into the Rites of Memphis+Misraïm, learn how to utilize the Tracing Boards of each degree as eidetic pylons for scrying, and expand the overall work into three echelons: regular lodge work, points-chauds empowerments, and on the cosmic scale, advanced ÆONOLOGY. Also included is a fully developed, revised, and expanded Grand Patriarch Consecrator 66°, for use within an Ecclesiastical setting. Finally, this new edition includes papers and prefaces by luminaries such as T Allen Greenfield 100°, Vladimir Milinovic 98°, and Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold 97°.
