SPECIAL EVENT!

World Congress of Initiatic Societies
Macerata, Italy            April 17, 2010

Sponsored by The International Order of Gnostic Templars
http://www.GnosticTemplars.org
and The OSMTH Templar Order of Italy

IOGT Grand Prior Mark Amaru Pinkham invites you to join us!

Delegates from Secret Societies from all over the globe will come together to discuss their common origins and the possibility of reuniting now in a World Alliance for Planetary Enlightenment. These groups originally began as part of the Underground Stream to both practice and guard the primal gnostic-alchemical path. That goal has been attained. Now it's time to reunite for the even greater mission of spreading this important path and its teachings worldwide. If prophecy proves correct, this is the point in history when it's time for the patriarchal theology that stagnates human evolution by affirming that Spirit exists outside the human heart to finally step aside and allow all people to realize the fullness of their innate divinity.

The last time a conference of this genre and caliber occurred was in Paris in 1785. It was attended by St. Germain, Cagliostro and many other high-ranking Secret Society leaders. The goal of that gathering was the same as the upcoming one - to throw off the yoke of patriarchal control in a campaign for spiritual freedom. However, that gathering ended in the violence of the French Revolution. Times have changed, and we can now acknowledge the futility of resorting to violence in a quest for world peace. Instead, we simply want to extend a hand to those persons in the world who are thirsting for the inner peace of gnosis.
