1. Jesus the Christ was divinely born, and thus especially
prepared—spiritually, mentally, and otherwise—to receive, test, and
try certain secret knowledge which would enable him to carry out a
special ministry on earth;
2. That having been properly prepared divinely, spiritually,
intellectually, and otherwise for this great mission, it was also decreed
that he should dispense this knowledge and convey the special
powers which the knowledge developed in him to others who were
well qualified and worthy, in order that they might carry on his
mission throughout the ages, and do “even greater things”;
3. That during the early years of the ministry of Jesus, he sought,
found, trained, and prepared those men and women of Palestine,
Egypt, and Syria who would be spiritually worthy and morally and
ethically qualified to perpetuate the knowledge he brought to earth
and the powers that had been conferred upon him through his divine
birth;
4. That these persons so prepared and trained constituted a secret
group of adepts and companion workers assembling from time to
time as a secret college for instruction, test, trial, and critical practice
of the secret principles;
5. That such a secret society was formed by Jesus, and maintained
in continuous functioning and action throughout the last years of
the life of Jesus, and did not become extinct at the time of the
crucifixion and ascension;
6. That the men and women bound by secret oaths into this secret
society numbered 120, it not being limited to just his twelve apostles
or disciples, and that this astonishing and startling fact is clearly stated
in the New Testament;
7. That like any other secret society that had to guard carefully
its teachings, principles, membership list, and ideals and purposes
against political or aristocratic persecution, this mysterious body of
divine students had several definite, fixed, continuously used meeting
places in Jerusalem with branches for occasional meetings in outlying
districts;
8. That its principal meeting place or “temple” was well guarded
and well protected, known by a secret name, and known only to
the tried and tested members—a fact also proved by very definite
passages in the New Testament;
9. That the secret society also had passwords, signs, symbols,
and other tokens by which the members recognized one another,
thus preventing spies or political persecutors from joining them or
becoming acquainted with their secret work—which is also proved by
quotations from the New Testament;
10. That when the members of this secret society were called
together by Jesus on regular and special occasions they had to
approach their secret meeting place one by one with the greatest care
and be guided by secret signs which were changed from period to
period;
11. That among the 120 members were not only those who were
later known as the twelve disciples and who constituted the secret
executive committee of this secret society, but also others who were
interested in the mysterious, secret work of the society, including the
mother of Jesus and his brothers and sisters;
12. That during the course of study and preparation for the secret
work Jesus not only taught them the secret lessons, but aided them
in developing within their own beings the same mysterious, secret,
spiritual power which he possessed, and—once having accomplished
this and having made them ready in every way, he conferred
upon them the divine authority to use the special power they had
developed and to represent him and the Kingdom of Heaven
throughout the future centuries;
13. That among the 120 secret students were wealthy individuals,
and a few who possessed political influence and power, and who later
came to the aid of Jesus in his hours of persecution and performed
certain acts which they had all promised one another to do in case of
such an emergency;
14. That the parables and allegorical instructions which Jesus gave
to the public, and particularly to those of the public who followed
him more or less carefully, were veiled and deliberately concealed
secret truths which cannot be understood and properly interpreted
today unless one possesses an outline of the secret teachings given to
his secret student body;
15. That this special secret society may or may not have been
affiliated with the Essenes—another secret society with which Jesus
was well acquainted;*
16. That each of the secret teachings constitutes a divine law
spiritually applied and materially manifested, and that each is outlined
in almost perfect detail—hidden in parts of the New Testament—
and can be pieced together for complete and perfect understanding;
17. That these secret teachings and practices are missing in the
instructions of the Christian church today, and because some
of these secret truths have been discovered by those outside of
the Christian church, various sects and cults utilizing this secret
knowledge have come into existence as rivals of the Christian church;
18. That if the Christian church of today would make itself learned
in this secret knowledge, and spend time in teaching, preparing, and
qualifying certain devout students of each section of the world to
practice and demonstrate this secret knowledge, it would become
the most potent, powerful influence for peace, happiness, health,
and contentment. It could do away with most of the other problems
of life and bring about the Kingdom of Heaven on earth with the
gradual elimination of national and international war, strife, contests,
and personal error and sin.
