The Pythagorean school, which was set up at Crotona, functioned as a "mystery school," that is, a school in which the "mystery" aspects of philosophy were emphasized to a limited group of carefully chosen "initiates." The Pythagorean equation was based on the dualism of first principles-the limited, or source of definitiveness, and the unlimited, or source of divisiveness. In effect, this was the first school of dialectic, a form of teaching which was to reach its apogee in the nineteenth century work of Hegel, and his most famous disciple, Karl Marx.
The Pythagorean School also featured many precepts which in later centuries would appear in the Book of Zohar, the Kabbalah. One of these precepts was numerology, an attempt to concentrate upon the universe as a mathematical equation, and thus to work out, or to discover, a magical formula which would give control over it. The pythagoreans featured tetraktys, the sacred number ten, which was arrived at by adding the first four numbers.
The Pythagorean School at Croton a has an interesting correlation in our own time. During the 1930s, the American headquarters of the Theosophical Society was at Krotona, California. Whether this town was deliberately named after the Pythagorean town is not known.
The Pythagorean Theorem or metaphysics of numbers greatly influenced Plato. Although he is known to us primarily as a philosopher, he exercised considerable political influence throughout his adult life. He was the acknowledged leader of a Mediterranean political faction which was opposed to the expansion of the Persian Empire. Plato led in the development of an elite which could bring the Greeks back to political dominance in the Mediterranean.
The influence of the Pythagoreans caused him to develop a program much like that of the Freemasons today, a secret elite which could exercise its influence from behind the scenes, but always dedicated to its own hidden program, whose principles were known only to an elite.
Plato supported Dionysus I, ruler of Syracuse, as leader of the Greek coalition forces. Dionysus became Plato's model for his future philosopher-king. In return, Dionysus' brother-in-law, Dion, gave money to Plato to establish his school of philosophy, advancing funds to build a group of buildings which are now known to history as the Grove of Academe. It was in these buildings, on the outskirts of Athens, that Plato wrote "The Republic" as a guide for humanists of the future, so that they could achieve total control over their society. Plato then advised Dionysus II in his sacred war against Delphi. During this war, the Temple of Apollo was captured, including the vast amounts of gold which had been stored there. Plato later wrote the dialogue "Timaeus" as an elegy for his mentor, Dion.
Both Plato and Pythagorus believed in the doctrine of transmigration of souls, a favored theory in mysticism. Plato remains the single most important figure in the development of humanism, because, almost single-handedly, he transformed it from a creed based on the demon-worship of Baal to a more respectable "school of philosophy," a process which had been initiated by Pythagorus. Nevertheless, humanism remained a creed which was devoted to the conspiratorial enslavement of mankind by a secret elite, which considered itself specially "chosen," and Gnostic, that is, knowing, as contrasted to the not- knowing.
While become more and more engaged in the secular aspects of society, humanism has remained true to its basic precepts, which are comprised of a mixture of the doctrines of the principal “mystery" cults; pantheism, worship of nature, Gnosticism (which is always a manifestation of Satanism, irrefutably based in Gnosticism, or knowing the secrets), and hermeticism. It was the threat of these doctrines which caused Christ to issue his famous warning, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruit. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs of thistles?" (Matthew 7: 15-16). Humanism is the wolf in sheep's clothing. It comes advertising its compassion for humanity, its concern for the homeless and poor, but as Christ says, know them by their fruits. Do not ask what they intend to do. Find out what they are doing. In this way, you will not try to gather grapes from thorns, or figs of thistles."
