MOZART'S MAGIC FLUTE by Manly P. Hall (summary)

What if the original purpose of secret societies was to enable certain people to transcend normal human psychological dysfunctionalities, if, they were committed to facilitating the dissemination of pure wisdom or knowledge that is without greed, ego, anger, hate, sadness, fear, envy, jelousy, frustration, etc.?




The opera known as 'The Magic Flute' is sometimes thought to be little more than a fantasy, and though it may seem so to the average spectator, not to those whom have been initiated into the mysteries (the understanding of the concept of 'metaphor'). For example, within the initiation process the neophyte passes through the four elements to achieve victory over Earth, which represents the physical life, Water, which is the vital/spiritual or psychic life, Fire, which is the emotional nature, and Air which is the mental principle. These four initiations are people learning to control the four vehicles, or bodies, which they have at their disposal, the physical, vital, emotional and mental bodies. The victory over these bodies is achieved by the victory over the principles which they represent. The victory over materialism is the initiation of Earth represented by a subterranean location or burial in a stone sarcophagus. Transition through Water or the crossing of a flooded stream or the navigation of a boat without oars using only one's will representing the purification of the generative power of the vital principle of humanity. The initiation of Fire is represented by a transition through a long passage way filled with smoke, flames, and combustion to achieve control of the intensities of humanity's emotional and desire natures. Here one must fight with the Fire within oneself, the fire of hate, the fire of anger, the fire of lust, the fire of temper. Unless humanity can control all of these emotions then one can not achieve victory. The initiation of Air takes place in a high mountainous region or involves the motion through the air like in a hot-air balloon or roller coaster.




You will notice that the ancient initiation of Water is performed by Christians, in the New Testament by John The Baptist, during their 'baptism' ceremony. Even Christ's death and rebirth is symbolic of the metaphorical 'death' of psychological dysfunction and the 'rebirth' of the divine pure wisdom or the transcendence of insanity or psychosis as explained in the first paragraph above.


The Magic Flute is also the same as the flute carried by Krishna of India which he used to play the mysterious melodies to charm the Gopis and cause the shepherd maidens to dance in their circle of 12 around him as symbolical of the zodiac and its sacred dance around the Sun. This also is the mysterious instrument of Shiva.




Manly P. Hall was considered to be one of the foremost experts in the actual wisdom of the great Philosophers, Masons, Illuminati, Shining Ones, etc. and presents the meaning behind Mozart's opera, 'The Magic Flute' which attempts to explain humanity's struggle against political deception, dictatorial tyranny, and mass mind control.



Johann Adam Weishaupt (6 February 1748 -- 18 November 1830) was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of Illuminati, a secret society with origins in Bavaria. Their slogan was, 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.'
