WE have introduced our work, with this First Book in the Series. The Legacy of the GIFT, then, involves at the very least, a dual line of descent, two components of the same Tradition. On the one hand, the Genealogical line of descent, the Bloodline. On the other, the line of Initiates, the Scientist-Priests, who go back as far as EnKi, at least, and continue to the present day.
This Legacy is the story of bad decisions, betrayals, wars, bad blood, exterminations, hidden traditions, throughout history. The primary story that we are covering is that of the Benjaminites, whose story can be seen to have had a great influence on the history of the West. That covers the Bloodline side of the story. The Tradition side of the story is that of the perpetuation of the Authentic Tradition: a history of the various Esoteric schools whose object has always been the Initiation of humankind, and its liberation from the fetters it has placed upon itself, as well as from those placed upon it by the "rulers". Just like the Bloodline, the Tradition has had to move around, every so often, in order to survive. This is a key to its survival, its evolution, for if it fails to evolve, then it can no longer be held to be Authentic.
While we have primarily covered the Bloodline and the issues related to it, in this First Book, the Second Book, Qadosh: The Johannite Tradition, shall cover the traditions. First, in relation to the Johannite Legend of the Templars and the Qadosh cycle of Ritual in High Grade Freemasonry. Then, we will pick up the Gnostic Tradition and show how it developed, and how it relates to the Johannite Tradition. Finally, in Part Three, we shall show how the Gnostic Tradition connected with the Templars, and how the Western Esoteric Tradition was born, and in what vehicles it has perpetuated itself.
