Architecture as Riddles in Stone

Manitoba has plenty of Masonic influence in its nation and architecture. Architecture is a veryinteresting and complex endeavor.

Symbolism and architecture is one of the persistent emblemsof civilizations. They incorporate numerous meanings. They harbor various emotions. Theseimages inspire archaeologists and researchers to discover including researching its consists.It is also utilized by the evil

. In North Americ,a neo-classical, Gothic, and esoteric designs arecommon place in a myriad of buildings or structures.

Today, most people view architecture assimply artistic representation that exist in buildings, images, and other locations.

Yet, this isn'tthe case all of the time

Architecture and the Crisis of Modern Science

was a bookwritten by Pérez-Gómez. Gomez wrote that since the Scientific Revolution, architecture is a form thatbecame more technical.

Before the 1700's, architecture had a huge influence form the mysticaland occult world. Even today, some architecture from D.C., Denver, and other placesworldwide have occult relationships. Nicolas Louis Durand (who lived from 1760-1834) wasone French architect who constructed buildings in a way to be based on rationalism (includingscientific positivism) and reasoned thought (without esoteric teachings).

Freemasonry has beeninvolved in promoting architecture with sacred geometry for many centuries. Masons claim thatarchitecture to them was a means to achieve moral better man and personal perfection. This isn't just

me saying this.

Freemason Frank Albo (He works at the University of Winnipeg)

believes in this concept. Of course personal perfection morally is impossible since man isn't God atall. That is why the degree system in Freemasons is immersed in architecture. Freemasonry hasinfluenced even architecture from the Enlightenment period.

As time came on, Masonic architectstried to find a balance between rationality and concepts beyond static rationalism of the day ofthe late 1700's.For example, architect and writer Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières (1721-93)defined the role of architecture as creating a building that can evoke human sensations(because they could speak to the mind and move the soul). Charles de Wailly even created anengraving of Solomon's Temple. Solomon’s Temple was created in ca. 10

century B.C. It wasfirst destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. It was rebuilt a 2

temple during the time of ofthe Persians (fulfilling OT Biblical prophecy). That Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70A.D., which fulfilled the prophecy made by Jesus Christ in the book of Matthew. Freemasonryhad a role in the educational curriculum at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris, the period's mostinfluential school of classical revivalism. This school was also a place filled with magicalorders and occult Freemasonry in the 1880's.

Ecole focused on the Egyptian precedent of images and Vitruvian theory (this was promoted byFreemasonry). Now, Vitruvian comes from the Vitruvian Man image of Leonardo DaVinci. This beliefis about the belief that humans have specific mathematical proportions all around their bodies. DaVinci drawn a man in a circle plus square. Some use this concept as a means to improve theirarchitecture devices. There was a real Roman architect called Vitruvius. Vitruvius believed that theconstruction of temples must be in accordance to the proportions of the human body. Some disagreewith a universal set of proportions for the human body. Masonic ideas influenced the designs of parks,monuments, cemeteries, gardens, and mausoleums from across the world. Jacques Rousseau was aphilosopher who believed that the natural landscape garden represents the regeneration of mankindand the improvement of society as a whole. Masons love Egyptian architecture, becauseFreemasonry relates to the same Mysteries as ancient Egypt was based upon. Masonic imagery isdefinitely found in the Manitoba Legislative Building. Even in the early 1900's, Winnipeg in Manitobahad plenty of Secret Societies or spiritualist groups. According to Henry Makow's research (and I don'tagree with Makow on every issue though):

"...

Between 1870 and 1970, Manitoba had 12Premiers who were masons. Several city mayors were also masons, includingFrancis Cornish, Winnipeg's first mayor. Between 1870 and 1924, over 140masonic lodges were established in Manitoba and, between 1875 and 1970, 86masonic corner stones were laid in public buildings throughout the province,including city hall, many churches and many schools.)..."

Séances were done in thehome of Dr. T.G. Hamilton. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), and Canadian Prime MinisterMackenzie King (1874-1950) gathered for these events. The Grand Lodge of Manitoba doubled in sizein the early part of the 20th century. The Manitoba government in December 1911 instituted acompetition to all architects within the British Empire. There were a government sub committee aboutit with Freemasons dealing with it. The winning design was found on the basis of its monumentalcharacter. Frank Worthington Simon was a distinguished and award-winning architect. He graduatedfrom the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Jean-Louis Pascal was his teacher. There is debate on who isreally responsible for the Manitoba Legislative Building's design. Some view the person as SeptimusWarwick of London. Frank Worthington Simon would be the supervising architect of the structure. Helived in Winnipeg from 1917 until 1920 (when the Manitoba Legislative Building had its grandopening). The legislative place had eccentric designs of satyrs, coiled snakes, ram heads, and even adecapitated head of Medusa. Frank Simon was

heavily influenced by members of a Masoniclodge called “Simple Hearts of the Polar Star”, which is underneath the wing of the GrandOrient of France. Simon wanted the architecture to inspire people to embrace virtues likefaith, hope, morality, and charity. Yet, strange imagery is found in the place as well.

This is the Pediment found in the Manitoba Legislative Building where laws arepassed in this part of Canada. The person in the middle is the Lady Manitoba.

These 2 images who the Manitoba Hall with 2 life sized bison statues. In ancienttimes, they were meant to protect ancient temples and ward off evil.

There are 3 X 13 steps. 13 is a special number in Freemasonry and the esotoric world ingeneral. According to Arthur Lyons, the number 13 is after 12 representingdeath

. New Ager Dick Sutphen also calls the number of thirteen of outlining changeand death (or the death of the old ways and the beginning of the new order of theages. This is exactly like the new world order plan of making death of the old orderplus creating the new world order). Bullinger believes that the number 13 outlinesrebellion against authority.

Throughout the Bible the number thirteen is plainly
