Ex-NBA Star Shaquille O'Neal is Now an Initiated Freemason (photo proof)

I'm not sure if it's just lag, or if my post didn't submit due to unforeseen packet loss.
Bearing in mind that the earlier stated assumption that Shaq is not in fact an initiate, but is already a member just now going public, there IS a possibility the two events could go hand-in-hand, seeing as how the tape fiasco occurred years ago as well. I, however, do not think that to be the case. The two events seems unrelated, and since there is no evidence to base anything from, it's speculative at best.
I still believe he is not an initiate, though, based on the photo, and the thumb position. And as for the the judge Belvin Perry Jr. being the man shaking his hand, according to one source, it's MW Frederick B. Summers of a Prince Hall lodge in Mass. Though, to date, I can find no pictures of Frederick B. Summers, I do not doubt the source. However, I will note the uncanny resemblance to justice Belvin Perry Jr.

I tend to disagree. I'm not as wrapped up in what idle thought can do, so to judge others in my head for the qualities I perceive is a rational way of estimating situation based behavior. To deny this instinct is to deny a facet of your mind that is more ambivalent than good or bad.
Now, I will also say in a warning label fashion, that to invest to much energy into an emotion feeds it life to an extent. It really just depends on how your body handles stress and stress induced vascular constriction.

I have always had this instinctive urge to walk a path of grey. I see neither black nor white, good nor evil. Just cause and effect. It's merely action-reaction.
I will say this much for sure, all this is truly irrelevant, for at THIS very moment, Time has already come to an end. The universe is already done.

The Kicker is that we just haven't quantitatively caught up to it yet. As far as our science knows, there is a finite time limit on the duration of the universe, and it seems we're just shy of halfway if I remember correctly. Waaaaaay off in the distant future, our universe, old and weary, will end, and another universe will begin in another Big Expansion. All this is "true".... for now.
And this is what I mean about "truth" it's always changing. As your perception of your world, universe, and personal life changes and adapt's to focus with the new information coming in, so too should your outlook along with it....

Thanks for your input, but are terribly misguided in your free flow thoughts that you seem to think are the way to live. Well, for animal man, yes. Hence, your points may be valid to someones else, but not me brother.

You Said This: I have always had this instinctive urge to walk a path of grey. I see neither black nor white, good nor evil. Just cause and effect. It's merely action-reaction.

Please read this again? You perfectly describe how an animal lives. They do not have a soul, so they do not see the good or the evil in the world and when they do "see", it is only merely a action-reaction with very little thinking, reasoning or anything divine happening inside of them. That my friend, is the definition of an animal.

Then you say the universe is already done and then in the very next paragraph you truth is always changing. But I see children, animals, insects, trees that are born into this universe and die from this universe every day. Are they not apart of the universe? Isn't that creation? Yes, it is divine creation. Hence, the universe is NOT done.

Bro, are you OK?

Here is some study material for you:

IT IS IMPERATIVE that a believer know he has a spirit, since, as we shall soon learn, every communication of God with man occurs there. If the believer does not discern his own spirit he invariably is ignorant of how to commune with God in the spirit. He easily substitutes the thoughts or emotions of the soul for the works of the spirit. Thus he confines himself to the outer realm, unable ever to reach the spiritual realm.

1 Corinthians 2.11 speaks of “the spirit of the man which is in him.”

1 Corinthians 5.4 mentions “my spirit.”

Romans 8.16 says “our spirit”

1 Corinthians 14.14 uses “my spirit.”

1 Corinthians 14.32 tells of the “spirits of prophets.”

Proverbs 25.28 refers to “his own spirit.” Darby

Hebrews 12.23 record “the spirits of just men.”

Zechariah 12.1 states that “the Lord . . . formed the spirit of man within him.”

The above Scripture verses sufficiently prove that we human beings do possess a human spirit. This spirit is not synonymous with our soul nor is it the same as the Holy Spirit. We worship God in this spirit.

Why are you calling it a "BELIEF" system?

I thought you said that you "KNEW" for sure that you had past lives?

If you know for sure you had past lives then it wouldn't be "BELIEF," now would it?

Individual beliefs are irrelevant... the truth is all that matters...

First of all, I'm Not a Judeo-Christian believer. So, while I recognize that there is a divine, I highly doubt the human brain in it's current evolution of biological perception of space/time could understand it, or it's intentions.

Second, I do not mean that if I don't believe in criminal, violent, or reprehensible behavior. You're assuming that based on a short statement of my unique observations in life, something I could never share with you, or vice versa. On the other hand, I can see why you think if you're a Christian. It seems there's this mythology among your scriptures that man is better than animals, when our social dynamics are closely reflected by thousands of species, not to mention our genetic inheritance of all that awesome dna that made you who you are today.

Last, do not dismiss the animal kingdom, for they are your cousins, your lost relatives, and our only known companions on earth. You are much like them as they are like you.
The whole idea of artificial vs. natural always seems 'artificial' to me. So, rewinding the clock about 4 billion years ago, and the first extremophile lifeforms are beginning to stir in the oceans formed by hydrogen meteor and meteorites bombarding a young earth. After a few hundred million years, the first prokaryotes evolve, not needing the hot, highly-pressurized depths of the thermal vents to sustain them. These prokaryotes all evolved form cyanobacteria, aka blue-green algae (really, really good for you in occasional doses), who spend the next billion years converting sunlight into energy using photosynthesis.
And yes, there is a reason for all this.
All of a sudden, eukaryotes come along, forming cellular bonds, more detailed and adapted in form, eventually giving rise to complex , multi-cellular life. One could say they had good chemistry. They formed plants, plankton, first invertabrates, et al. the simple stuff. As they changed and adapted, two very distinct types of creature emerged in earth's waters.
It was the rise of the vertabrates. These two classes differed greatly. To keep what could be very easily be a much, much longer story a little shorter:
What's the difference between an ant colony and a city?

The domestication of dogs from the lupis social dynamic to the attention of human direction using social interaction has only proved in the labs that they were willing to partner with humans genetically. Quite possibly because it ensures survival of the species. Why, we can only speculate, but we know dogs want our guidance... most of the time.... But we know for sure it's hard wired in.

The one thing you are the most wrong about, Apocalypse, is me. I see no distinction between black and white because they are all apart of everything. Not because I think everything is acceptable. Some things are still atrocities, but they are life; that is my point.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Almost... Almost, forgot. About the the whole universe thing. It's already happening. I meant it when I said we haven't caught up with it quantatively, or time-wise if you don't know that word... The end is already occurring, as we type. In fact, given the frame of reference, the current understanding is that the beginning and the end of time existed at the same time at the beginning of the universe.
I used to do work with special relativity, and I always wondered if the universe was a side effect of time in our dimension. Keeping in mind time is a dimension in itself, and eliminating all topological barriers...

Who do you think built this world brother, zebras? Are we going to vote Shamoo as our next president or Smoky the Bear as head of FBI intelligence?

Just FYI Bro, it was God Man who planned, built and manages this current matrix of a world we now live in. Hence, the living stones who are working on the great plan , the builders via TGAOTU.

If you new the TRUE allegorical meanings of Jesus and the Father, you would know that we all possess the same "powers" as Jesus and we too can walk in the light as Jesus did or Buddha or?

The Saints of the Catholic religion are representative of this fact. Great men and many who were of royal blood who lied down their swords to teach the divine and the way to peace was not through violence, selfishness or greed. Most all were martyred (aka murdered) just as Jesus was for walking in the light.

Who were Jesus and the other saints murdered by? No other than animal man!!

As far as dogs go, I look at them as "animal man's" best friends and certainly NOT mine. It is nothing more than a clever marketing gimmick to the unthinking sheople to give them companionship and at the same time, keep wild dogs off the street.

What you speak of in dogs as far as human guidance goes parallel with humans as well and even more so. Humans and mainly animal man wants to be guided, led and fed. All anyone who is illuminated has to do is look at the U.S. society and the citizens of it to realize this FACT.

Hence, while your arguments and replies may seen justified to your animal gray thinking mind, but to a human who operates in a different realm, this just solidifies my points 110%.

The reason I am a Christian and of the Catholic faith is because of my heritage, blood and loyalty to the brotherhood builders of the age and world we now live in. No one as done more for this world with the uniting words in the New Testament and the various secret societies that HAD to be formed to build a peaceful and coherent society of humans that would not kill each other every 1-2 years of power and greed.

Over 1,300 years ago, My ancestors gave up their kingdoms and warfare to become Roman Catholics in order to bring order and peace to a chaotic world. I will honor and respect them by helping carry the light through the apocalypse and to our heavenly kingdom that awaits us for our good deeds for the brotherhood.

You guys are funny with your imaginary deity talk... and your enlightenment bullshit... what a crock of shit...

Hmm... your #1 and #3 options would be pretty ridiculous now wouldn't they?

Absolute truth is all that matters. There either is a God (creator of the Universe) or there is not, there can only be one truth regarding certain things.

People can "believe" that there is no God, while the actual truth of the matter is that there is God... it wouldn't matter, their "beliefs" wouldn't change the truth. That's not to say there is a God for sure, it's just an example...

Lilith's and Baphomet's and Baal's either EXIST for real, or they don't. If it's all just a bunch of made up human psychological bullshit then it ain't "REAL."

In other words, all of this "mystery school" bullshit is exactly that: bullshit.

I still stand by that, individual beliefs are irrelevant, the truth is all that matters.

There could be a group of people who for some reason "believe" that the sky is red... but it doesn't matter what they believe... the sky is blue.

I'm talking about some real shit here, and you want to stay stuck on me being rude? Wtf...

If you believe there's some sort of devils or baphomets or horus' or whatever then it's up to you to prove it, not me. I'm just a regular human.

Apocalypse_Wars.com you are definitively not enlighted. If you think you are, you've been deceived. If you are so enlighted...how is it that you are judging the people on this board? Why the poor comprehension of karma? Karma doesn't simply applies on bad and good moves. It just doesn't work so simply.

Why aren't you able to see the bad sides of FM? Are you blinded by the empty promises the secret society offers? Yes, FM is about personal enlightenment. But it's a trap, as the higher ranked members aren't actually benevolent.

Now if you are so enlighten, I wonder what you are doing here, arguing and even insulting the intelligence of some GLP members here. Shouldn't you be meditating? Shouldn't you be working your karma? Shouldn't you be helping the world? Shouldn't you make the world a better place?

You are loosing your time here, and you should know that it's running out.

"If you wish to enslave a man, allow him to believe he is free" -Hidden Hand, bound by blood to the Illuminati families. You are a fool if you think you know better than everyone. I see you have a lot to work on if you wish to be free, but we all do. Don't be deceived by malevolent societies.

Oh you ARE so enlightened on that you know SFA about, aren't you?
What are these "offers" that are promised?.......and what is the highest rank in Freemasonry.?
Answer these or just "rack off, hairy legs".!

I only judge when I am judged and defend when attacked brother. My goal is not to have online forum battles with humans who just do not get it or try to insult me. But if I have to, then so be it. I know how Karma works, no need to explain.

There is good and bad in everything such as in the ocean tides and ever changing weather. What you may ignorantly call evil based on heresy and internet conspiracies, I call one of the greatest of brotherhoods outside the Catholic Church in the history of ALL the ages.

There are no traps and everyone is free to do as they choose per their own free will. All the secrets have been published and of course as with any fraternity, family or true friendship, some things are kept amongst brothers.

I am an Illuminati and? What you think is a secret cabal is a way of living according to the ancient plan that has been passed down through many families. I am an illumined man who knows the soul that resides inside of him, his ancestors and their wishes for my life and for the cause. It has nothing to do with enslavement, but being "builders" of peace, brotherhood and unity to the world. Just as we have done for 1500 years or so.

I do not think I know better than anyone, but on "some" subjects I simply do and especially here on the GLP where most of all your so-called facts are conspiracies, heresy and lies.

Lol.. do you think you need to say that "IT DOESN'T GO BEYOND"? Let those who are not YOUR BRETHREN guess if whatever they read in the internet is
true or otherwise,,,

So are Kobe and Lebron, and no doubt MAGIK JOHNSON.

The Lord Jesus Christ rebuke you satanic liars.

Baphomet is the devil/Satan. Lucifer is the devil/Satan. Jesus Christ will destroy him with the sword that proceeds from his mouth when He returns (revelation 19).

Jesus Christ was a literal, real, historical person who was God incarnate. He came to earth save mankind from the consequences of sin. He died on the cross and rose again from the dead. He proved that everything He said was true by rising from the dead. He is now ascended at the right hand of God the Father and will judge the living and the dead.

Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of Satan/Lucifer. Satan has no power over a true follower of Jesus Christ. Look in the gospels at how the demons trembled when Jesus came around -- because He is God Almighty and they knew it.

All of the junk these folks are talking about -- a "man" who will be the capstone, one-world religion -- looking inside of you to find enlightenment -- is prophesied in the book of Revelation and is absolutely satanic. The "man" is the Antichrist who will lead the world into a satanic one-world religion and a one-world government. The eye and the pyramid are illuminati symbols of pagan religion that culminates in worship of the devil. This stuff was prophesied 2,000 yrs ago by the apostle John -- the same man who was a disciple of Jesus Christ and who wrote the gospel of John -- in the book of Revelation. This is the same man who also warned of false teachers and antichrists in the epistle of 1 John. This is the same man who said in 1 John that Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, and that the perfect love of Jesus Christ casts out all fear.

Yes, there WILL be a satanic one-world government and one-world religion that is headed by the antichrist and the false prophet. It will happen. But guess what??? Jesus Christ will return and will destroy the antichrist, satan, and the false prophet with the sword that proceeds from His mouth. Even better for followers of Jesus is that He will return for us before this stuff commences and will take us up to heaven with him.

Let's draw the line so it is crystal clear: the Trinity is on one side, and Satan/Lucifer and his imps are on the other. Anyone who tries to blur this line is a deceiver. Satan is the prince of this world and his goal is to deceive people through lies, fear, unbelief, lust, etc. Satan tries to draw people away from God and the truth of God's Word. Satan will twist the Bible, or use new age scholars who attempt to re-write it altogether, to deceive those who have never read the Bible. Read about the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11. It shows you the devil's tactics. He will seek to allure you through the lusts of the flesh, he will twist scripture to tempt you to sin against God, and he will promise you wealth and power if you worship him.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, satan and his imps are powerless against you. As Jesus did, you can say "away with you satan! For it is written, you shall worship the LORD your God(YHWH Elohim), and Him only shall you serve!" Matthew 4:10

As a true follower of Jesus, all of these posts only confirm to me that Jesus Christ will soon return to take his Church from this earth. Paul spoke of this in Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians 15. It is popularly called "the rapture". The antichrist will be able to take over so fast after the rapture, because once the light of Jesus leaves this earth the whole earth will be enveloped in darkness. (When it happens, the liars and deceivers will probably say we were abducted by aliens because we weren't properly 'enlightened', rofl). Christ will return before the tribulation begins and before the antichrist tries to deceive the world into thinking that he is the messiah/christ. He is a FALSE CHRIST, and anyone who speaks any blasphemies about Lucifer being on Jesus' side or about Baphomet being christ or about the "man" being the head of the capstone, they are servants of satan, and I rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Bible is VERY VERY clear about this. It's so clear a little kid could understand it. The thief (i.e. Satan) comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus Christ has come that we might have life, and have it more abundantly. John 10:10. Jesus Christ has given his followers authority to trample upon serpents, scorpions, and upon all the powers of satan, and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Luke 10:19. The LORD God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7. Submit to God, resist the devil, and he WILL flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. James 4:7.

How do you draw near to God? PRAY for his forgiveness and for Jesus Christ to be the Lord of your life, then PICK UP A BIBLE AND READ MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN OVER AND OVER. Then read the rest of the New Testament. Get a good commentary from a solid evangelical Bible teacher or scholar so that you can get proper context (Matthew Henry, Warren Weirsbe, John MacArthur, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, etc.). Commentaries are important in order to give you proper historical context. Begin reading the Old Testament once you have a firm grasp of the New Testament, as many who read the Old Testament without the proper context end up twisting its words. 1 timothy 4-10; 2 peter 2:14-18.

My prayer for everyone who reads this is that you will be released from every demonic and satanic stronghold, oppression or possession that is blocking you from perceiving the truth of God's Word, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, and that you would willingly submit your life to Jesus Christ. Jesus is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Prince of Peace, and he will give you peace and victory over every attack of satan if you give your life to him.

Don't expect to hear back from me, as I have not the time nor the patience to debate devil-worshipping fools. The Bible is abundantly clear that the Trinity and Satan/Lucifer are diametrically opposed to one another and that Jesus Christ has smashed Satan by his work on the cross and his resurrection, and will smash him once and for all when He returns (Revelation 19). Read the New Testament for yourself -- it is so clear a child could understand it. I pray fervently that these very same fools of which I speak will heed my advice, and will be saved from their sins in the name of Jesus. Nuf said.
