Solomon's Temple
| "Solomon's temple, or the perfected temple of the human body, the perfected temple of the universe and the perfected temple of the soul, finally forms the perfect shrine for the living Ark."-The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall Pg 59 |
"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
"..the later Jewish High Priests constructed the allegory of Solomon's Temple -- a building which never had a real existence, any more than had King Solomon himself, who is simply, and as much a solar myth as is the still later Hiram Abif, of the Masons, as Ragon has well demonstrated. Thus, if the measurements of this allegorical temple, the symbol of the cycle of Initiation, coincide with those of the Great Pyramid, it is due to the fact that the former were derived from the latter through the Tabernacle of Moses." - The Secret Doctrine [[Vol. 1, Page]] 314-315 By Helena Blavatsky
"This temple (Dionysians) was human society perfected; and each enlightened and perfected human being was a true stone for its building."– The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P. Hall
"From the Cosmic angle or view point we note again that Solomon’s Temple is the Solar Universe and Hiram Abiff, the Grand Master, is the Sun which travels around the twelve signs of the Zodiac," - Freemasonry And Catholicism By Max Heindel pg. 31
"...true temple of Solomon is the universe, the Solarman’s temple, which is slowly being rebuilt in man as the temple of the Soul of Man."-The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall pg. 81
"King Solomon began the building of the temple in the fourth year of his reign on what would be, according to modern calculation, the 21st day of April, and finished it in the eleventh year of his reign on the 23rd day of October."-The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall pg. 77-81
"The temple of Solomon is our Solar Universe which forms the great school of life for our evolving humanity and the broad lines of that history, past, present and future, is written in the stars, its broad outlines being discernible to anyone of average intelligence.
In the Microcosmic scheme the temple of Solomon is also the body of man wherein the individualized spirit or ego is evolving, as God is in the great universe." - Freemasonry And Catholicism By Max Heindel pg. 26
"Sol-om-on represents the name of Deity in three languages, and the Biblical history is an allegory or
myth of the Sun-god." - Ancient Masonry Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 56
"the Temple of Solomon is really the Temple of the Solar Man -Sol-Om-On - the King of the Universe manifesting through his three primordial builders."- The Lost Keys of Freemasonry or The Secret of Hiram Abiff by Manly P. Hall
"The true meaning of the "Temple of Solomon" is the TEMPLE OF THE SUN.
"Sol" "Om" and "On" are all words for the Sun.
"Sol" is the Latin word for the Sun and is close to the English word "soul."
"Om" is a name given by the Hindus to the Spiritual Sun and
"On" is an Egyptian word for Sun.
The symbolism of the Temple of Solomon was stolen by the Jews and made into a fictitious character, as with the fictitous nazarene and nearly everything in the Judeo/Christian Bible.
The true meaning of the "Temple of the Sun" is spiritual. This symbolizes the perfected soul, where the rays from the heart chakra, which is the center of the soul and circulates spiritual energy, radiates into 8 separate rays. The shining soul is symbolized by the sun. 8 is the number of Astaroth. This is also "The New Jerusalem." The name of "Jerusalem" has also been stolen and corrupted into a city in Israel.
"Jerusalem" IS A CONCEPT!" - Joy of Satan compiled by: Logan McDonnell Information by: JoyOfSatan.com Pg. 83

Robinson Pg. 223

"Freemasonry its central identification with the constriction of the Temple of Solomon."- Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry by John J. Robinson Pg. 223
"...Hiram (Chiram), or the Universal Agent, assisted King Solomon to build the temple. No doubt as Solomon possessed wisdom, he understood what to do with the corporealized Universal Agent. The Talmud of the Jews says that King Solomon built the temple by the assistance of Shamir. Now this word signifies the sun, which is perpetually collecting the omnipresent, surrounding, electrical fire, or Spiritus Mundi, and sending it to us in the planets, in a visible manner called light."- The Lost Keys of Freemasonry or The Secret of Hiram Abiff by Manly P. Hall
Hiram Abiff was the architect of King Solomon’s Temple, who is murdered by three ruffians during an unsuccessful attempt to force him to divulge the Master Masons’ secret password.

"The real temple referred to from first to last in Masonry, as in all ancient initiations, is the Tabernacle of the Human Soul." - Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg.56
"Every Master was the "widow's son". He was the continuation of the Master-line that had apparently been broken,with the death of the first Grand Master Hiram Abiff. In the initiation drama he had been assigned the role of Hiram Abiff whose mantle thus assumed became the central feature of the candidates role in the secret society. In that same role he would emulate Abiff who had died rather than give up the secrets of the Master Mason. In that role he would thwart the effects of the attack by three assassins who had wanted those secrets badly enough to kill, not caring that the murder of Hiram Abiff meant an end to the building of the unfinished temple."- Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry by John J. Robinson Pg. 270
"To the mystic Christian Mason, CHiram. represents the Christ who in three days (degrees) raised the temple of His body from its earthly sepulcher. His three murderers were Cæsar's agent (the state), the Sanhedrin (the church), and the incited populace (the mob)."-The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall pg. 77-81
"The widow's son, Hiram Abiff of Tyre, cast for the Qabalistic Temple of King Solomon two high pillars or pylons of bronze; their capitals were pomegranates and lily work. The lily, most likely the lotus, an emblem of life, white or male, on the right side, the pomegranate, the emblem of fecundity and plasticity, red or female, on the left side. The first was called Yakheen, the latter Boaz. These columns represented, Understanding, Binah, h, and Wisdom, 'Hokhmah, v, and between them was the Temple of Kether, y, the Father. Here we see symbols of the Former, the Harmony, and the to be Formed. All energy must have resistance, all light must have darkness, all projecture or emanation, a hollow or excavation to receive efflux. Affirmation supposes a negation; if the first androgene had not been separated into male and female, the result would have been entire sterility, as was the result as to the Seven Kings of Edom described in Genesis and the Qabbalah; and the Balance not existing, the forms did not and could not exist, and the emanation of the existences could not proceed and be manifest." The Secret Wisdom Of The Qabbalah A Study in Jewish Mystical Thought By J. F. C. Fuller pg 38
