The world is filled with symbols. On the surface, most are there as visual identifiers whose purpose is to convey meaningful information at a glance without the need for words. Beneath this layer, there is another deeper level of symbolism that goes beyond the merely commercial, informative, or useful.
These symbols serve as gateways to realms of knowledge, power and understanding, that inform and control life on earth. For some, these symbols are the crux of the beliefs of an organisation.
It is believed that within the upper echelons of the music industry, there operates a powerful elite group that controls the entire industry. This group is believed to be part of the same group that controls all the big corporations in the world, including governments. The group is popularly known as the “Freemasons” or the “Illuminati”. For the purposes of this article and all other such articles, we shall refer to this group as the Freemasons. Please bear in mind though, that even this label may be erroneous and the real name may be entirely unknown to anyone apart from those at the very top of the organisation. In any case, it is argued that even the ‘normal’ or everyday Freemasons are not aware of what happens at the very top of their organisation.
In their book The Deadly Deception, James Shaw & Tom McKenney explain it thus:
“Herein lies the most terrible manifestation of Masonic morality, that philosophy of the elite, which makes whatever they do “right” because it is they (the elite) who do it. Having established and taught the sincere but deceived masses of Masons (the Blue Lodge Masons) that everything depends upon their proper understanding of the symbols of Masonry, they have then deliberately deceived them as to the true meaning of those symbols. Hear the arrogant words of Albert Pike, Supreme Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, that preeminent Masonic authority:
“The Blue Degrees are but the court or portico (porch) of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine that he understands them… their true explication (explanation and understanding) is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry (those of the 32nd and 33rd Degrees). (Morals and Dogma, page 819).”
In terms of Freemasonry’s relationship to occult symbolism, Shaw & McKenney say this;
“Masonry is, according to its own philosophers, a system of pure religion expressed in symbols, one which cannot be understood without a knowledge of the true meaning of them. Since the true meaning of Masonic symbols (and thus, the true meaning of Masonry itself) is to be known only by the Prince Adepts of Masonry, we must hear what they say concerning them. They (Albert Pike, Albert Mackey, J. D. Buck, Daniel Sickles and others) teach that Masonry is a revival of the Ancient Mysteries (the mystery religions of Babylon, Egypt, Persia, Rome and Greece).
These Ancient religions had two meanings, or interpretations. One was the apparent (exoteric) meaning, known to the uninitiated, ignorant masses; the other (esoteric) meaning was the true meaning, entirely different, known only to a small, elite group, initiated into their secrets and secret rituals of worship. These mystery religions were forms of nature-worship, more specifically and most commonly the worship of the Sun as source and giver of life to the Earth. Since Ancient times, this worship of the Sun (and of the Moon, stars and of nature in general) has been sexual in its outworkings and rituals. Since the Sun’s rays, penetrating the Earth and bringing about new life, have been central to such worship, the phallus, the male ‘generative principle,’ has been worshipped and the rituals climaxed with sexual union in the mystery religions of Isis and Osiris, Tammuz, Baal, etc. (1) In summary, then, since the Ancient Mysteries (especially those of Egypt) are in fact the Old Religion of which Freemasonry is a revival, the symbols of Masonry should be expected to be phallic in true meaning. This, in very fact, is the case. A thorough treatment of this unpleasant reality is beyond the scope of this brief summary; however, some examples, with references to the Masonic authorities, will suffice to illustrate this astonishing fact.”
Following on the theme of occultism in the music industry, we will be compiling a list of occult symbolism in Michael Jackson’s videos.
The use of these symbols in his earlier years may be attributed to the firm control his record label had over his artistic integrity. In video production, they were able to inject the symbolism that pushed their agenda without his knowledge. Then as he grew older, it can perhaps be seen that he had knowledge of these symbols, either through direct exposure or other means, and threw these symbols back into their faces, in anger and defiance.
They Don’t Care About Us, 1996
This is a protest song; Michael is speaking out about the power-brokers of the world. In this scene, he stands in front of an eye painted on a wall. Freemasonry employs a mystical eye in its imagery known throughout the occult world as the “all-seeing eye.” This symbol which is shared with most “false” religions, cults and occult bodies today has always been used as a symbol of ‘deity’. Occultist Fredrick Goodman explains that, “The eye plays a most important part in occult symbolism and probably owes its origin in western magical designs to the Eye of Horus, which was one of the most frequently used of Egyptian magical symbols” (Magical Symbols p. 101). This eye is considered a demonic eye and by defiantly singing “you can never kill me” whilst standing in front of it, Michael can be seen as sending a direct message to this group – he has had enough of their bullying, their lies, their violence, their greed and their corruption, and is speaking out.
Leave Me Alone, 1987
Michael is about to enter a Masonic temple flanked by a pyramid. The Masonic temple is the Freemason meeting place, and the pyramid is of central importance because, amongst other things, it represents the entire structure of the organisation. The pyramid is an ancient form based on the holyness of the number 3 to the ancient mystery religions (it, not 6, is considered the most spiritual number), and a pyramid was a structure used specifically to call up the demonic, or occult, a point of psychic activity. The triangle is also associated with the number three, and, pointing upwards, it symbolizes fire, male power and a counterfeit view of God.
Billie Jean, 1986
Michael leans on a Masonic pillar and his eyes make the “eyes looking up” gesture of the masonic code. This is an imitation of Jesus on the cross as he was often portrayed in religious art with his eyes looking up to his Father.
Thriller, 1982
At the end of the video, Michael turns to face the camera on cue with Vincent Price’s ghoulish laugh. The shot is styled so all that is in view is Michael’s now demonic face in the foreground, and the Obelisk in the background. The obelisk is an important symbol for Freemasonry, as it represents the male sexual organ. It is also believed that the spirit of the Egyptian Sun God, Ra, resides within the obelisk.
