Elite Masons practice 3 Degrees of knowledge hidden by Yacub...Added to the 33, making the 36th Degree.
A Pentagon is 36 Degrees exactly & represents the "Golden Ratio".
This is knowledge stolen from the "Egyptian Mystery Schools", but it is not complete...But it is complete to the mind of the uneducated (unaware) man.
Here is an example of One of the hidden 3 degrees.
PSYCHIC SCIENCE:
It's a science of the imagination. This is a natural science that relies on the natural God given power of the human mind to be creative.
The mind is naturally & spontaneously creative, & one can see this in dreams, where whole worlds are created out of nothing.
Although dreams are unreal, given that they are imaginary their effects on the human soul is absolutely real.
A person may wake up from the most awful nightmare & be relieved that it was "just a dream", but the fear he experienced was real.
If he had come from somewhere where he had never experienced fear before, his dream experience of it will teach it to him as effectively as experiencing it in real life. It may not last long, but it is real at the moment he experiences it.
This is one manifestation of the natural psychic power of all people. Now the art or science of controlling this power comes in the phenomenon called "Lucid dreaming".
This power, although powerful enough on an individual basis, can be increased dramatically by involving other people in it. This too is natural, following the law of rhythms. Human minds, with their seat in the brain, 'oscillate' within a particular spectrum of frequencies.
It's possible to entrap this oscillation using the law of rhythms, according to which oscillations of the same frequency enhance one another and unite into a larger whole.
When a person with a strong mind starts a certain type of imagination, & finds other people who are sympathetic to it, the rhythm of his mind will entrap those willing participants such that all of them engage in the same rhythm & they will imagine the same reality.
That is exactly how children were taught in ancient days. The word "entrapment" is totally inappropriate in the ancient context. A more proper word would be "resonance", where a teacher gets the children's minds & hearts to resonate at the same rhythm as his.
But entrapment is quite appropriate in the modern context because the intentions & use of this science have become perverted in many, but not all cases. The truth of a science is determined by the intent of the user, so the same scientific principles can be used for both good & bad.
By "entrapment", it's possible to make willing people to believe in a reality that does not exist, that is totally imaginary.
Negative spirit energies possessed those willing to participate, causing them to "prophesy", "divination", "curing illnesses", "casting spells", & many other related activities that you are taught not to believe in.
They gave rise to fetishes, symbols, gods & goddesses, & new forms of rituals & sacrifices to "negative energies" for enhancing the psychic power. What arose out of the corruption of psychic science is so convoluted and old in terms of centuries, that to try and outline it all would take many ages.
