			== Christ and the Mystery of Golgotha ==

			When the Christ united with the Earth, a completely new element entered into the evolution of the Earth. The Christ is not merely whiteness, but love incarnate. Love is

			{{GZ\|... a high divine kama, which is at the same time buddhi; a pure flowing kama, which wants nothing for itself, but directs all passions outwards in infinite devotion, is an inverted kama. Buddhi is reversed kama.\|93\|63}}

			Thus, within the stream of the Sons of Wisdom, a new, higher piety prepares itself, which may be enthusiastic, but is not nourished by the fire of the Old Moon kama, but from Christian love, the inverted kama. This new, Christian piety is predisposed in the fourth post-Atlantean age, but cannot yet unite with the current of the Sons of Cain. They remain opponents for the time being:

			{{GZ\|For if Christianity were necessarily to take hold of all men quickly, it would indeed be able to fill them with love, but the individual human heart, the individual human heart would not be there. It would not be free piety, it would not be the birth of Christ in oneself as brother, but merely as Lord. For this the sons of Cain must still work through the whole fifth sub-race. They work in their initiates and build the temple of humanity, constructed of worldly art and worldly science.\|93\|63}}

			But a new Christianity will arise in the future in which both currents will unite, a Christianity in possession of the secrets of the Brazen Sea and the Golden Triangle:

			{{GZ\|This Christianity has a different symbol; no longer the crucified Son of God, but the cross entwined with roses. This will be the symbol of the new Christianity of the sixth subrace. Out of the mystery of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood will develop this Christianity of the sixth subrace, which will know the Brazen Sea and the Golden Triangle.\|93\|65f}}

Cain gives Hiram a new hammer and a new word.\|265\|393ff}}

			== The Sons of Cain ==

			According to this legend, the Sons of Cain are the sons of those [[Elohim]] who were a little retarded on the world evolutionary stage of the [[Old Moon]]. At that time the human [[astral body]] was formed out of [[Kama]], the general astral substance, and Kama, the fire of passion, was gradually imbued with wisdom. Other Elohim progressed beyond this union of wisdom and passion, and when they created earthly man during earth evolution, they were no longer imbued with passion and endowed man with calm, serene wisdom. These were the sons of Seth. The other Elohim, however, who were still connected with Kama, gave the sons of Cain a passionate element so that they could be enthusiastic about wisdom with fiery enthusiasm. Out of the passionate enthusiasm of the sons of Cain came all the arts and sciences, while the priestly Abel-Seth current was animated by detached and utterly dispassionate piety and wisdom. These two opposing currents were always present until the [[Greco-Latin period]].

			Hiram appears in the Temple legend as the representative of the initiated sons of Cain of the fourth and fifth post-Atlantean cultural epochs, and the Queen of Sheba gives a picture of the human soul that has to choose between the detached, dispassionate wisdom and piety of Solomon and the earth-transforming drive of the sons of Cain.

			{{GZ\|The brazen sea is that casting which results when water is mixed with ore in the appropriate manner. The three journeymen do it wrong, the casting is destroyed. But by revealing the mysteries of fire to Hiram, Tubal-Cain is able to combine water and fire in the right way. This gives rise to the Brazen Sea. It is what is the secret of the Rosicrucians.

 {{LZ|Solomon hinted to the fellow- crafts that the removal of his rival, who refused to give them the master's word, would be acceptable unto himself; so when the architect came into the temple he was assailed and slain by them. Before his death, however, he had time to throw the golden triangle which he wore round his neck, and on which was engraven the master's word, into a deep well. They wrapped up his body, carried it to a solitary hiU and buried it, planting over the grave a sprig of acacia.
 Hiram not having made his appearance for seven days, Solomon, against his incUnation, but to satisfy the clamour of the people, was forced to have Tiim searched for. The body was found by three masters, and they, suspecting that he had been slain by the three fellow-crafts for refusing them the master's word, determined nevertheless for greater security to change the word, and that the first word acci- dentally uttered on raising the body should thenceforth, be the word. In the act of raising it, the skin came off the body, so that one of the masters ex-claimed " Macbenach ! " (the flesh is off the bones !) and this word became the sacred word of the master's degree. The three fellow-crafts were traced, but rather than fall into the hands of their pursuers, they committed suicide and their heads were brought to Solomon. The triangle not having been found on the body of Hiram it was sought for and at last dis- covered in the well into whicb the architect had cast it. The king caused it to be placed on a triangular altar erected in a secret vault, built under the most retired part of the temple. The triangle was further concealed by a cubical stone, on which had been inscribed the sacred law. The vault, the existence of which was only known to the twentyseven elect, was then walled up.|Heckethorn, Vol I, [https://archive.org/details/cu31924092567050/page/n269/mode/2up p. 246f]}}</ref>. He said: Tubal-Cain has promised me that I will have a son who will have many sons who will populate the earth and complete my work - the building of the temple. Then he indicated the place where the Golden Triangle was to be found. It was taken to the Brazen Sea and both were kept in a special place in the Temple, in the Holy of Holies. They can only be found by those who have understanding of what this whole temple legend of the temple of Solomon and his master builder Hiram means.|93|59ff}}
