Sons of Seth/Water Philosophers

"Catholicism (Christianity) is an activity of the HIERARCHS OF WATER, and places 'HOLY WATER' at the Temple door to quench the spirits seeking light and knowledge and to inculcate FAITH in Jehovah" -FREEMASONRY AND CATHOLICISM by Max Heindel 1865-1919

"Those who follow the path of faith or the heart, use water, and are known as the Sons of Seth, while those who follow the path of the mind and action are the Sons of Cain, who was the son of Samael, the Spirit of Fire. Today, we find the latter among the alchemists, the hermetic philosophers, the Rosicrucians, and the Freemasons."- Manly P. Hall, 33rd, " Initiates of the Flame"

"By arduous and energetic application to the world’s work the Sons of Cain acquired worldly wisdom and temporal power. They have been captains of industry and masters of statecraft, but the Sons of Abel (Seth), looking to the Lord for guidance, have become the receptacles for divine and spiritual wisdom." - Freemasonry And Catholicism By Max Heindel pg. 20

"Some are always contented; others never reach the goal. Some are the Sons of Water—the keepers of flocks; others are Sons of Fire—the builders of cities. One group is conservative, the other is progressive. One is the king, the other the priest. But within the nature of every living thing the Sons of Fire and the Sons of Water exist together. In the Scriptures the flame-born ones are called the Sons of God and the water-born are referred to as the Daughters of Men, for the flame—born Son is the divinity in man and the water—born is the humanity in man. These two brothers are deadly enemies, but in the Mysteries they are taught to cooperate one with the other and are symbolized in Freemasonry as the double—headed eagle of the 33°."- Melchizedek & the Mystery of Fire by Manly P. Hall pg. 35

"Samael, incidentally, was the fiery father of Cain, through whom a part of humanity has received the flame of aspiration and are thus separate from the sons of Seth, whose father was Jehovah. ”- Melchizedek & the Mystery of Fire by Manly P. Hall pg. 19-20

"Thus this glorious edifice (Temple of Solomon) was the chef d’euvre of both lines, an embodiment of the sublime spirituality of the churchmen, the Sons of Seth, combined with the superlative skill of the craftsmen, the Sons of Cain." - Freemasonry And Catholicism By Max Heindel pg. 35

"Each stream of life (Sons of Cain and Sons of Seth) flows onward side by side till a time comes when the wise and loving ones guiding the evolution decide that to hasten progress it is necessary that the two unite, and plan that this shall be accomplished by the building of a temple for the worshippers by the craftsmen and that both streams would unite in a Mystical Molten Sea" - Freemasonry And Catholicism By Max Heindel Preface

"One of the Ancient Mysteries taught that the end of all experience like the beginning plus the experience of the cycle, and some day the human race will give birth to its new bodies out of its own nature, as certain primitive animals still do. Then, indeed, will man be his own father and his own mother, complete in himself. Initiation makes possible this process in man much earlier than the natural sequence of human evolution would permit it. Such is the true mystery of Melchizedek, King of Salem, the Priest—King (Priest, water; King, fire) who was his own father and his own mother, and in whose footsteps all initiates follow.”- Melchizedek & the Mystery of Fire by Manly P. Hall pg. 35-36

"It (Order of Melchizedek) is the supreme Mystery School, and a few have reached the point where they have blended their divine and human natures so perfectly that they are symbolically two—headed. The heart and mind must be brought into perfect equilibrium before true thinking or true spirituality can be attained.”- Melchizedek & the Mystery of Fire by Manly P. Hall pg. 36
