Summary
âž¡ Jacob Frank, a leader in Europe, taught that the divine presence of God was feminine, a concept rooted in ancient Babylon. He formed a female cult of divine worship and a strong military defense, moving away from traditional teachings. Frank’s teachings influenced secret societies interested in ancient wisdom and Jewish mystery traditions. After his death, his teachings continued to influence various esoteric orders, suggesting that esoteric knowledge doesn’t subscribe to any one type of political or moral philosophy, but can be used for good or evil, depending on the practitioner.
âž¡ The text discusses Zabatai Zebi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666 and gained a following of over a million believers, half the world’s Jewish population at the time. He promoted redemption through sin, leading to the abolition of many religious rituals and the encouragement of immoral acts. After his death, his philosophy was continued by Jacob Frank, who also violated religious laws and eventually joined the Illuminati. Despite Zebi’s popularity, he was rejected by leading rabbis and eventually converted to Islam when threatened with death.
âž¡ Zabatai Zevi, a Jewish leader, converted to Islam, causing shock among his followers. Some followers interpreted this as a mystical act to reclaim divine light and continued to practice Judaism secretly after converting to Islam. Zevi’s actions were controversial, but some believe the failure of his movement was due to a misunderstanding by the Jewish community. Zevi’s practices, including his disregard for traditional Muslim rules, were influenced by Sufism and aimed to reconcile two religions and free divine light trapped in the material world.
âž¡ The text discusses the changes in Jewish religious practices and beliefs with the arrival of the Messiah in 1666. It highlights the shift from traditional teachings of Rabbi Isaac Luria to new interpretations by Nathan of Gaza and Abraham Cardoza. The text also explores the controversial actions of Zabatai Zevi, who violated Jewish taboos and converted to Islam, leading many of his followers to do the same. The text ends by discussing the secretive and controversial practices of Zevi’s followers, including religious sex orgies and the belief in the holiness of sin.
âž¡ Jacob Frank, born in 1726, was a controversial religious leader who created a new religion called Frankism. He believed in the transformation of biblical prohibitions into permissions, including sexual orgies as a means of purification. Frank also advocated for the destruction of current civilization and the breaking of moral laws. Despite his controversial teachings, he gained a significant following, including some of Europe’s royalty and wealthiest bankers.
âž¡ The speaker is experiencing poor Wi-Fi and may have to postpone their show with Mike due to these issues. They’re reading a text for the first time live, possibly about the French Revolution and its connection to the Illuminati. They find the topic fascinating and hope it will shed light on lesser-known history. They wish everyone a good evening and plan to return soon.

Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the untold History Channel. My name is Ron partain, and today we’re going to be going through the book by Robert Sepher on called 1666. This is a probably going to be a pretty quick read, and I’m not 100% sure if it’s going to take me one day or two days. It’s about 65 pages, but it seems like I might be able to get through it, make sure that I’m live and everything is working. Hunky dory. It says I’m live, but it doesn’t show my channel as live live. So. Okay, now it is.
All right. Just want to make sure that everything is working. Okay. So here we go. Many of you guys are probably familiar with Robert Zephyr. In fact, you know what? Let me just do something here. This is just kind of a spur of the moment. Let me go to YouTube and look up Robert Sheffer and 1666. Okay, this is 22 minutes long. You know what? There have been many mystical or. This actually might be a good thing to do. Uh, to show here. Let’s see here. Okay, this is the book. Shit. I need to do it a different way.
Yeah. Okay. It is audio sharing. Okay. I’m going to have to do it a different way. This is a learning experience for me, guys, with the MACD, really and truly, it is a learning experience. Mac. So many things are different and it is h. I am not gonna lie. It is a challenge. Let’s see. Okay, so here is the Robert Scheffer video, and I’m just going to go ahead and play this. It’s about 22 minutes long. I think this will be a good introduction because I’m just going to read the book, but here, let’s try this.
There have been many mystical orders that claim to possess ancient esoteric knowledge that has survived until the modern day, guarded by secret societies that allegedly utilize these occult secrets for supposed physical vitality, psychic endowment, spiritual enlightenment, and establishing a political agenda. Most, if not all of these orders trace their origins to the ancient aryan magi of Mesopotamia, which is where we get the modern word for magician, and whose esoteric practices were said to have been passed down since the mythical times of Atlantis. Whether that’s true or not, what seems to be clear is these central asian or eurasian mystics influenced various cults from Babylon to Egypt, passing on their kabbalistic knowledge to the knights Templar, who in turn brought it back into Europe, influencing groups such as the Rosicrucians and Freemasons, which allegedly hold a high degree of political influence across the globe, one of the lesser known secret societies, which held a considerable amount of influence in the 18th century Europe, was called the asiatic breathering, started in Vienna, Austria.
Their foundation paralleled a more popular rosicrucian order, and while this organization played a significant role in the emergence of Adam Weishaupt’s order of the Bavarian Illuminati, they cease to exist relatively quickly. The asiatic brethren has been one of the critical forerunners of the Golden dawn and many of its descendants, as well as to be an influential force on occult practitioners such as ceremonial magician Eliphas Levy and Pb Randolph, who introduced the principles of erotic alchemy to North America, establishing the earliest known rosicrucian order in the United States. Of course, the asiatic brethren were influenced by earlier movements, most notably the kabbalistic concepts put forth by Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself messiah in 1666, who was considered a heretic by orthodox Judaism for transgressions such as pronouncing the holy tetragrammaton in public, breaking dietary laws, engaging in forbidden carnal activities, and wedding Sarah, a young polish prostitute who proclaimed she would be married by the messiah.
Sabbatai’s real impact and charisma stemmed from the divine acts which he performed, often just after emerging from the dark night of depression or after having sung psalms for hours in a seeming trance like state of emotional bliss. He also encourages followers to engage in promiscuous activity, and as shocking as they were, Sabbatyper claimed that the meaning of these paradox acts was obvious to him while he was in ecstasy and utterly inaccessible and heretical, even to himself. Once he had returned to his normal state of being. Despite being banished by local rabbis several times and causing shock and outrage amongst orthodox jewish leaders, he and his charismatic wife gained a large following and eventually established their power base in Greece and Turkey.
From there, his influence grew further and quickly spread all across Europe. Sabbatai ended up in imprisonment under the ottoman sultan, who gave him three choices, to subject himself to trial of his divinity. In other words, if the arrows of the sultan’s archers would miss him, his divine status would be proven, second, to be beheaded, or third, to convert to Islam on the next day, September 16, 1666, which incidentally, is also my birthday. Sabbatai came before the sultan, cast off his jewish garb, and put a turkish turban on his head. Thus his conversion to Islam was accomplished.
He covertly continued his practices and teachings in secret to his followers, some of whom also converted and followed him under the protection of Islam. Zevi’s impact and popularity was due in no small part to his self proclaimed prophet, Nathan of Gaza. According to the jewish scholar Gershom Scholem, it’s only through Nathan of Gaza’s mystical interpretations of sabbathized situation and heretic deeds that the story of this new messiah gained the mystical depth, the spiritual weight, and kabbalistic meaning that created the necessary gravitas to turn it into such a strong movement. In fact, it is Nathan of Gaza’s peculiar mix of lurianic kabbalah, gnostic interpretation quotes from the zohar and his own mystic explanations that helped turn Sabbatinism into a future hidden cornerstone of our western occult lore.
Nathan refers to the Messiah’s soul as a holy snake among snakes, but keep in mind that the hebrew word for snake, nakash, has the same numeric value as the term messiah. The sabbataean concept of a snake or dragon in this context is paralleled in the gnostic teachings of the Ophites, a word that comes from the greek ophis, which means serpent. They were members of several gnostic sects that flourished in the Roman Empire during the second century and for several centuries thereafter. These sects beliefs differed in various ways, but central to them all was a dualistic theology that opposed a purely spiritual supreme being who is both the origin of the cosmic process and the highest good to a chaotic and evil material world.
To the Ophite, man’s dilemma resulted of the Garden of Eden story. The forbidden fruit was symbolic of the orgasm, and the serpent’s temptation was to harness and transmute the sexual energy through esoteric tantric practice rather than always expelling one’s life force in a conventional climax that results in physical procreation. The Ophites regarded the Jehovah of the Old Testament as merely a demiurge or subordinate entity who had created the material world. They attached special importance to the serpent in the biblical book of Genesis because he had enabled man to obtain the all important knowledge of good and evil that Jehovah had withheld from them.
Accordingly, the serpent was a true liberator of mankind since he first taught men to rebel against Jehovah and seek knowledge of the true unknown God. The ophites further regarded Christ as a purely spiritual being who, through his union with the man Jesus taught the saving gnosis or Sophia, a feminine, intuitive aspect of divinity, divine knowledge from within. That said, from the perspective of Sabbatianism based on the Lurianic Kabbalah which I cover in my book 1666, the esoteric interpretation of salvation was not about redemption of the jewish people from slavery amongst other people, but instead had to do with an inner salvation, an esoteric process of mystical healing and restoration of one’s own soul through a term called tikkun olam, which means repairing the world and has to do with the Luriani Kabbalah’s idea of freeing leftover divine sparks of light that permeated existence after creation.
This brings us to Jacob Frank, a polish born Jew who, 100 years after Sabbatai’s death, claimed to be his reincarnation. Frank was initiated into the sabbatian elite, where the highest esoteric secrets were revealed to him that were shared only orally. These occult practices were the basis for erotic inner alchemy, tantric practices of energetic transmutation, where carnal lust is converted into spiritual gold, or what is known in the east as chi prana ether vril, or life force energy. Through these techniques, Frank allegedly developed psychic medium skills through which he allegedly revealed many secrets and mysteries to his followers, continuing the tradition of strange deeds that was so critical for the foundation of Sabbatinism, such as ritualistic orgies, public nudity and affection, and other transgressions.
From 1759 to 1760, Frank inspired the mass conversion of his followers into Christianity, following in the footsteps of Sabbatai Zevi’s conversion into Islam, infusing this ancient heretical kabbalistic teaching into the mainstream by establishing sects of Christian Sabatins. Frank was then arrested and spent the following twelve years in captivity. This began a new and completely unexpected phase of sabatin Frankism, where Frank interacted with the cult of the black Madonna and taught that there was no separation between the messiah, God and shekinah, which is a word that implies the dwelling place or divine presence of God, such as the burning bush or the pillar of fire in the Bible.
But in Hebrew, it is a feminine word and in this context means the divine feminine presence of God, or in other words, goddess, the mystical embodiment of the feminine or God’s bride, implying that female sexuality was a doorway to higher states through which one can commune with the divine. That said, Frank taught that the messiah was female and that the Virgin Mary and messiah were essentially the same principle, a concept which has its roots in ancient Babylon and initially found its way into Europe via the Templars. To put it into a nutshell, unlike Christianity, Frankism was not about a male God who took a human body upon himself through a human woman, but about a feminine goddess who acquired a human form.
Frank appropriated elements of catholic mariology but departed from christian doctrine in two crucial respects. He claimed that the maiden was an element of the godhead, and he declared that she was actually present in the black Madonna icon. When Frank was finally released from captivity in 1772, he had regained a large fellowship and was again recognized as one of the most important sabbatian leaders in Europe. However, in truth, he had moved on from many of the original teachings of Sabbatai Zevi and founded his own female cult of divine worship as well as a strong outer circle of military defense.
While in 1750s and 1760s, Frankism was first perceived as a sect within Judaism and then as a movement on the border between Judaism and Christianity, its expansion in 1770s and 1780s was defined by the reformulation of its tenets in terms of something that can best be called a secret society. Jacob Frank then moved in with his Sabatin cousin in the bohemian section of the Czech Republic, renowned for her physical beauty, and encountered her son Moses Dabrushka, who was 18 at the time and a sabbatian from birth, who went on to become a founding member of the sect known as the asiatic brethren that I mentioned earlier.
Frank developed strong connections into the masonic communities of Vienna as well as into Germany. Freemasons and secret societies during this period were interested in rediscovering the ancient wisdom and purported truth hidden in the jewish or kabbalistic mystery tradition which the knights Templar brought into Europe from their time in the Middle east. Esoteric knowledge that was passed down by the magi, veiled by the european alchemists and orally transmitted by the Gnostics and mystics. Jacob Frank also taught the mystery of Edom, which means red in the Hebrew and is in reference to the Edomites, a largely red haired demographic that was converted into Judaism in the second century bc.
And I covered in my video called magicians of the temple, which brings us to the Rothschild, which translates to red shield in German, who financed and formed, along with Adam Weishaupt and Jacob Frankenhein, the order of the Illuminati. After Jacob Frank passed away, lodges of asiatic Brethren were formed in Vienna in 1781 and then in Prague, Hamburg, Berlin and Frankfurt, where many powerful members were among their ranks, including the future king of Prussia, Frederick Wilhelm II. This order has spread from Italy to Russia already. The ruling heads of this order were unknown until 1788. They refer to masonry as their basis.
They even call it its nursery of their entire system. Their gatherings they call Malsesiak lodges and offer their services to include Jews, Turks, Persians and Armenians. The orders teachings include how to govern the spirits by breaking the seven seals and one is taught how to produce miracle cures and how to create gold. The order expects blind faith and blind obedience. Its regulations are the true teaching of the sons of Loyola. Incidentally, Ignatius of Loyola was the basque founder of the religious order of the Society of Jesus, also known as the jesuit order. Independent from the Freemasons and rosicrucians of the time, the asiatic brotherhood claimed a similar ancient lineage to the east in association with the Templars.
The term Asia in this context, however, is not a reference to the landmass that we’ve come to call Asia today, but a vague reference to Asia Minor that indicates a tradition that doesn’t stem from the european mainland, but from the Orient, in particular the aryan magi of ancient Iran, who Albert pike claimed was the true chaldean originators of the pre jewish, pre arabic and pre babylonian kabbalah. In the view of the asiatic brethren, the Kabbalah should not be based on any particular religion, but rather formed an open path for anybody interested, be they Muslim, Catholic or Jewish, to transcend the limitations of one’s own religious tradition and to gain access to the one and only, true, pure and all embracing religion, the asiatic brethren established two streams of teachings, one in writing and a second more closely guarded of individual oral instructions.
This sect had a great influence on later magical and theosophic orders. In the instructions of these rituals, we learned that the order is the continuation of a very ancient alchemical, theosophical and magical tradition transmitted over centuries through various channels, not least the Knights Templars. We find, among other mythical narratives, a vivid description of the original fall, in which a son of dawn or Lucifer plays a major part. The symbolism of these rituals resonates with those of the gold und rosencross, which interpreted the first degree of regular masonic symbols. In an alchemical sense, the asiatic brethren were set apart from the rosicrucian traditions of the same time in that they were much less influenced by and oriented towards Orthodox Christianity.
And although they were open to Jews among their members, their legendary founding myth was also unique and was set up from the beginning to provide a platform for occult learning, teaching and practical research hidden from the realm of influence and control of orthodox Christianity, or jewry for that matter. That said, the order embraced a multitude of paths towards divine gnosis through a combination of natural sciences, numerology, practical or spiritual alchemy, kabbalah and sex magic. Many of the order’s ancient tantric techniques of erotic alchemy and sex energy transmutation found their way into what became other sects with a possible influence on the siberian mystic Rasputin, who pronounced that the best way to reach a divine state was through the sexual exhaustion that came after prolonged debauchery.
He was best known for befriending the imperial family of Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia, and for a sabbataean like philosophy of redemption through sin, which involved orgiastic rituals of bliss and prolonged orgasmic euphoria. These occult techniques also made their way into other european esoteric orders, such as the Vril society, which was headed by the medium Maria Orsich, who was said to have used transmuted Vril energy to achieve clairvoyance and mediumship. Vril is a word used to describe energy gained through heightened states, achieved through the the harnessing of prana chi, or ether, all terms that describe a life force, energy that permeates the universe and all living things.
The Vril society was eventually absorbed into the National Socialist Party, which funded research into various occult practices with the goal of acquiring alternative forms of technology, such as anti gravitic flight, which it allegedly did achieve but supposedly did not perfect until the end of the war. Speculation persists around events that took place in Antarctica codenamed Operation High jump, when the Allies sent 4700 armed troops, an aircraft carrier, destroyers, and failed in an attempt to destroy a holdout german base which allegedly was built below the antarctic ice. Traces of this occult influence could also be seen in the writings of the notorious sex magician Aleister Crowley, the teachings of taoist practitioner Montauk Chia, and the alchemical techniques put forth by Samuel Ayn Wyor.
The point being that the esoteric information itself does not seem to subscribe to any one type of political or moral philosophy, but seems to resemble the theme in the movie Star wars, where the force was the same mystical energy used by the protagonist Jedi Knight as was used by the dark side. The Force itself was not considered good or evil, what was more like an element of nature that can be harnessed for either, depending on the practitioner. My name is Robert Sepper. I’m an anthropologist. My published work is available on Amazon and through all other major.
Alrighty, so I’m going to go back to. I’m going to go back to this screen now because I’m going to read the book that was Robert Sefer and talking about his book, or just talking about kind of like the laying a little bit of a foundation for the book, 1666. So I just thought it would be prudent to do that. We’ll see how much of this is incorporated in the, into the book or whatnot. So, uh, you know, he, if I understand Robert Sheppard correctly, he doesn’t, he’s not necessarily a Christian. Um, he looks at religion very much, um, scientifically.
And, um, he, he feels. I think he feels that there’s, that most religions all share similar stories and that, like, you know, you go back and you look at stories in the, in the Bible or in other, other ancient texts, and they all have, like, they’re all congruent in a certain way. So anyway, I don’t, I don’t necessarily know if I subscribe to that, but there’s no denying that that probably that that kind of is true. But, you know, I. For me, I’m. As a Christian, it’s a little. I don’t, you know, I have, I want to say I have a hard time with that.
I do kind of have a little bit of a hard time with it, but I am, I don’t, I don’t let that dissuade me from my faith. So just as a caveat there, that is. But anyway, so this is, this is the introduction. Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered by christian followers to be the messiah, who lived over 2000 years ago. But very few people have ever heard of Zabatai Zebi, who declared himself to be the messiah in 1666. He amassed the following of over 1 million believers, half the world’s jewish population during the 17th century, by proclaiming that redemption was available through acts of sin.
Considered a heretic by many of his contemporary rabbis, nonetheless, his fame extended far and wide. Zabatais adherents planned to abolish many of their ritualistic observances because, according to the Talmud, in the messianic theme, there would be no longer, or there would no longer be holy obligations. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest, and religious orgies were encouraged and practiced by sabbataeans. After Sabbatai Zebbi’s death in seven in 1676, his philosophy would be continued and expanded on by his kabbalah, by his kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries centered on the leadership of the Messiah, claimed Jacob Frankenhein.
He, like Zevi, would perform strange acts that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats that were forbidden by jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, promoting orgies and sexual immorality. Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amschel Rothschild carved the order of the Illuminati, the objective of this organization was to undermine the world’s religions and power structures in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism. Covertly ruled by their hidden hand, the new World order. Using secret societies such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries.
Staying true to the script, opposition is handled by a near total control of the world’s media, academic opinion leaders, political or politicians, and finance. While still considered a conspiracy theory to many more people are waking up each day to the reality that this is not just a theory, but a true conspiracy. All right, chapter one. In 1666, an exceptionally charismatic rabbi and kabbalist by the name of Zabatai Zevi from. He was born in 1626, died in 1676. He declared himself to be the messiah. Born to an affluent family in western Anatolia. Oh, excuse me. He was a particularly eccentric mystic who had attained a massive following, over 1 million devotees during his lifetime, roughly half of the world’s jewish population in the 17th century.
His extraordinary popularity, according to historians such as Professor Gershom Shalom, regulated largely or resulted largely from the popul, resulted largely from the publication and availability of what is today called the Lurianic Kabbalah. Named after Rabbi Isaac Luria from 1534 to 1572, this new Kabbalah enjoyed broad dissemination thanks to the invention of the printing press. In the previous century, Jews around the world for the first time had access to occult literature about deeper meaning of their faith, and the popularity of jewish mysticism soared after a particularly harsh period of persecution in european history. This proactive abbalistic philosophy, through an ancient mystical siphon system, gave jews a reason to be excited and optimistic.
Part of this system included ways of interpreting the supernatural relationship between events and time, often through letters and numbers. And this is a picture of. I believe this is a picture of Jacob, Frank or. No, that’s Abitaisebi. The magical emphasis given to the numerological value of dates contributed greatly to the widely held expectations and hope placed on the coming of a messiah at the time of Zabatai Zebbi’s advent of the 18th day. Six plus six plus six of the 6th month of the year 1666. So that would be June 6. Excuse me, June 18. Zevi was an extremely charming and exuded and inviting personality, as documented by those who knew him, according to an eyewitness.
Rabbit, I leave Ben Ozer. You must believe that this is how it was. I spoke with people who ate and drank and were near him, who were not proponents of Zabatai Zebi, and they told me that there was none like him in stature and in the way his face looked like that of one of God’s angels. And they testified that when he sang Sabbath hymns to goddess, which he did several times a day, it was not possible to look into his face for one who looked at him or one who looked at it, it was as if he looked into fire.
Zabatai Zevi was considered very handsome in appearance and also possessed an enchanting singing voice. Rabbi leb ben Ozer goes on to describe another phenomenon which added into belief in Zebbi’s messianic claim. And this is one of the greatest occurrences, clearly supernatural, that came to pass in those days, and a reason for the great belief in Zabbatah Zebi. For it happened in many places that prophets arose, and hundreds of thousands of women and men, boys and girls, and even little children, all of them prophesied in the holy tongue, Hebrew, and in the language of the Zohar as well.
And none of them knew a letter of Hebrew. And all the less so, be it or so, and all the less so, the idiosyncratic language of the Zohar. Many rabbis of the time publicly attested to having had dreams in which Zabatai appeared to them, sometimes by the side of their bed, and when they awoke, they would profess that he was the messiah. According to Professor Gershom Sholem, a sincere expectation arose in the psyche of many Jews, especially in Europe following the Spanish Inquisition, that biblical prophecy would be fulfilled via a jewish homeland. According to some critical interpretations of his behavior, Zabatai showed signs of what modern scholars would likely call manic depressive psychosis.
In other words, he publicly displayed, at times ecstatic behavior, often followed by bouts of seclusion or possibly depression. He also violated numerous religious laws, from dietary restrictions to committing acts of sexual immorality. On the other hand, some scholars and modern day followers or neo Sabbataeans have argued that his behavior did not point to psychosis, but rather was simply one one should expect from a religious mystic, such as a Sufi meditative, chanting, prayer, trance dancing, etcetera. According to professor Abraham Elkayam, the faculty member of the jewish philosophy department at Bar elan University in Israel, Zabatai engaged frequently in Bektashi Sufi rituals.
This perspective seems reasonable to me, as zabatai, Zevi’s final gravesite in Albania, was made into a Sufi shrine, as it remains even today. In any event, Zevis unusual or socially immoral and religiously unacceptable behavior finally got him expelled from Smyrna around 1650, and he wandered for years through Greece, Thrace, Egypt and Syria. In 1665, his life forever changed upon meeting Nathan of Gaza in Palestine. The rabbi who persuaded him that he was indeed the Messiah to usher in a new age, and who would become known as one of his greatest proponents and interpreters, Zabata Zevi, was convinced and formally revealed himself.
After considerable encouragement from Nathan, making his pronouncement in the year 1666 as to fulfill messianic prophecy, he soon gained fervent support in the diaspora, which is areas outside of Palestine settled by Jews, by promising a return to a jewish homeland, a message that was then very well received. Sorry, I added the very in there. Despite his strong support and popularity among the jewish people, the leading rabbis of Jerusalem rejected Sabbatai’s claim as Messiah. They based. They basically told him to leave the city or be excommunicated. Very disappointed, but undeterred, Zabatah returned to Turkey, where the sultan of the Ottoman Empire had already allowed the Zevi phenomenon to unfold for several years.
The sultan did not initially oppose Zevi’s religious claims, probably because those claims brought in so much money from jewish tourism as Jews flocked to Turkey from all over the world, from England to Persia, Germany to Morocco, Poland to Yemen. Though at first the sultan did not interfere with zabatizement, with withdeze Zabata’s movement, the last straw came, according to one of many rumored accounts, when Zabatah publicly proclaimed that in the next year the temple in Jerusalem would be rebuilt, the sultan took umbrage. The most common out, the most commonly accepted version of the story is that the sultan offered Zabbata Zevi the choice of either publicly converting to Islam or being beheaded, as the sultan delicately put it, your head or the turban.
The turban was, of course, a symbol for converting to Islam. Zabatai Zebi, the supposed long awaited Messiah, denounced his jewish faith on the spot and chose to wear the turban to keep his head. Zevi publicly became a Muslim and adopted a new name, Aziz Mehmed Effendi, power of Muhammad. The sultan gave him a reasonable salary as the sultan’s personal doorman and I the cryptic title keeper of the gate. All the while, it seems to, it seems, he continued in his messianic activities, acting with, one must assume, the full knowledge of the islamic authorities. Zabatai may have converted it to escape execution, but Nathan and his other loyal followers put a different interpretation on his transition.
According to them, Zabata’s conversion represented the decent in the descent into clip, clip, clipotic realm. I don’t know. I never heard that term. Grossest reality or husks of creation in order to reclaim the lost spark of divine light which is meant to repair the world. These are kabbalistic concepts which most modern scholars have concluded were too often used to justify his heretical and socially radical behavior. Zabatais formal conversion to Islam dismayed many of his followers, to say the least. But those who continued to be loyal to the movement took it as a sign to also convert to Islam while secretly maintaining their jewish identity and mystical practices.
The most famous of these sabbataean cults, as they were sometimes called, was primarily located in Anatolia, modern Turkey. Detractors called them the dhan meh, which translates to religious converts, a derogatory term which they themselves never used. Nathan’s optimistic interpretation of Zabatai’s change of faith did not sit well with most jews, but it did find a great degree of acceptance in places like Spain and Portugal among the conversos, or converts, and Moranos, two names for western european Jews who who were forced to convert to Christianity during the Inquisition. According to Reb Yaqalib Hakonaheim, the current director of Dome West, a California neo Sabataan organization founded in 1972, it is commonly held conjecture that Zabatai Zebi’s conversion to Islam was an act of cowardice that betrayed the jewish people.
However, this conversion was not an act of cowardice, but in fact one of the mystical masim or zarim, or strange actions that he and the nathan and Nathan of Gaza believed the messiah was destined to perform based on the reading of the kabbalah. Such an orthodox and controversial explanation suggests that the collapse of Zabatai Zevi’s worldwide movement, and almost of Judaism itself, resulted not so much from what Zabatai did as from the inability of the jewish people to understand and accept it. In other words, it was not Zabata Zevi who betrayed the jewish people, but they who misunderstood, and therefore, according to Mister Hakohanoin view, I’m sorry I butchered that abandoned him.
Zabatai Zevi like the sufi mystics used to loudly exclaim words of ecstasy, Zabatai was said to have taken part in the Sufi baktashi writes, conducted at Adrianopoulos. In many ways, the sunni majority considers the Baktashi order and allevias and antinomian, or lawless, so it is interesting that Zabata Zevi chose to affiliate with them. In many regards, the Baktashi alevi Sufi fall behind or beyond the limits of acceptable muslim behavior. Many Baktashi elev do not follow the prescribed five daily prayers, preferring instead to offer their prayers privately or at SEM, the religious gathering place of the elevi.
Nor do they adhere to fasting during Ramadan. Many bhaktesh alivius drink alcohol and do not regard it as sinful. Unlike the majority orthodox belief. They also emphasize the equality between men and women who may practice together in the SEM and in the zikrula or the gathering for the zikr. For the pilgrimage of hajj to Mecca, they substitute pilgrimage to the shrines of sufi saints or visit the living babas or dedes their religious elders and leaders. The notion that Zabatai held Sufism in high regard and practice its gnostic techniques is one that Professor Gershom Shalom seems to have failed to notice or adequately bring to light.
The goal of this spiritual conversion, according to many modern dharma, was to bring about a sacred reconciliation between two religions rather than to practice either. The theory is that one accomplished by this intern internalizing an opposition, or internalizing and opposing or alien religion into one’s own person in order to reconcile inwardly what is outwardly antagonistic, thereby reconciling to seamlessly opposite systems and raising up the holy sparks in each other, in each to their own source. But what are these holy sparks, and where did they come from? Isaac Luria, whose interpretation of the kabbalah is now most widely used and accepted, explained that God created the world by forming ten vessels to hold the divine light.
God intended this original light to radiate out, fill the world, and illuminate everything around us. But as God poured light into the vessels, the divine light was so powerful that the vessels couldn’t contain it. With a huge explosion, the vessel shattered. The sparks of this divine light became embedded into the world of matter. The material world had trapped these sparks of divine light. God’s presence was hidden and unable to shine forth, and then it. It then became the task for us, presumably the chosen ones, to free these holy sparks in the manner in which people approached and interacted with material universe could set these sparks free and repair the world.
Another key aspect of Isaac Luria’s interpretation, now known as the Lurian Kabbalah, is that it required active participation to set the stage for the arrival of the messiah. He designed his new kabbalistic intrusions for liberating holy sparks to bring about the conditions that would set the stage, initiate, or directly expedite the fulfillment of jewish messianic prophecy. In other words, instead of simply waiting for God to act, the lurianic perspectives expected jews to play an active role in bringing forth God’s kingdom on earth. This new european kabbalah, unanimously attributed to Luria, was extremely popular at the time and is still the most broadly disseminated and used kabbalistic system taught.
The kabbalah became a mystical synthesis between pagan teachings, which preceded the Torah and gnostic elements of Judaism. Many texts pertaining to the kabbalah, including the zohar, say that the task is not to destroy evil, but to return it to the source, to put it simply, to include the left within the right in the zoharik metaphor, or to uplift the fallen sparks in the lurianic one. The occult scholar, mystic, orientalist, and renowned author of the saint of the secret doctrine, Madam HP Blavatsky, commented that mistaken is he who accepts the Kabbalistic works of today Kabbalah and the interpretations of the Zohar by the rabbis for this genuine kabbalistic lore of old.
For no more today than in the day of Frederick Vaughn Schelling does the kabbalah is does the kabbalah, accessible to Europe and America contain much more than ruins and fragments, much distorted remnants still of that primitive system in is which the key to all religious systems? Madame Bletzky added that the Chaldean was the oldest and likely the most authentic version of the Kabbalah, the chaldean kabbalah. Moreover, the books of numbers agrees perfectly with the eastern arrangements and disagrees with the present orthodox kabbalah. In its diagrams I saw they had changed in the most wonderful ways. The kabbalah was entirely lost.
Now, in the chaldean kabbalah, in the book of Numbers, you have the wisdom of the hebrew initiates, but you have but you have not got it in the I. E. That is, the modern, popular, and accepted versions of the kabbalah. They have been so interfering with it. I say there is more flap doodle than truth. That was a difficult paragraph to understand. The rapid spread of the teachings of Rabbi Isaac Luria and his luriana Kabbalah resulted in its grafting of the then current theories of the Kabbalist Kabbalist into traditional jewish view of the role of personality of the Messiah.
This new philosophic paradigm, in the estimation of many scholars, provided a spiritual justification for proactive Zionism and the events that directly brought about the modern formation of Israel. Mystical lurionic speculations about the nature of this redemption and the restored world, Olam Hakum, which followed upon its heels and added new content and the dimensions of the popular messianic folk myth of a conquering nation national hero, raising it to the level of a supreme cosmic drama. The redemptive process no longer simply worked out Israel’s temporal emancipation from the yoke of the Gentiles, but rather it involved a fundamental transformation of the entirety of creation, affecting material and spiritual worlds alike, and would lead to, in the words of Gershom Shalom, a rectification of the primordial catastrophe, of the breaking of the vessels, or shvet ha kalim, in the course of which the divine world would be returned to the original perfection.
This process is called tikm Olam, or repairing the world, and it involves all of one’s actions, how one treats fellow human beings, works, plays, thinks, and interacts with all aspects of the environment at any given moment in time. Therefore, these heretical kabbalists believe that acts which benefit God included deliberate forays into the world of sin, where the illusory nature of evil could be more readily exposed and the sparks thereby elevated to their source. The Luriana Kabbalists originally intended their practice of prayer, intentions, or cabinet, as inward actions of thought designed to reintegrate the divine light by helping to restore it to the places it had occupied before the catastrophic fall.
Thus, each kavanaugh, or prayer, was a spiritual act, demonstrating that the outward undertaking which occasion which occasioned it harmonized invisibly with the overall structure of the cosmos. With the advent of the Messiah of 1666, however, the structure changed. The change in turn led to a re evaluation of the entire lurianic kabbalah, and on occasion, both Nathaniel of Gaza and Abraham Cardoza, a Sabbatan Morano prophet, went so far as to direct veiled criticisms at Isaac Luria himself. For example, Nathan of Gaza, arguably Zabatai Zevi’s closest proponent, shares some insight concerning the dramatic social changes in the present age.
It is no longer in order to read the ticking to kunim, part of the kabbalah composed by Rabbi Isaac Luria of blessed memory and his disciples, nor to mediate according to their kavanaugh or prayer intentions, for the time has for the times have changed. The kavanaugh of Rabbi Isaac Lauria were meant for his own age, which was like an ordinary day of the week, whereas now it is in the eye of the Sabbath and not and is not the pro and it is not proper to treat the Sabbath as though it were a weekday. Elsewhere, Nathan of Gaza clarified his position once more, expressing his belief that they had entered into a new era and reiterating his view that religious law existed prior to Zabatai Zevi was essentially obsolete.
My meaning is that the kavanaugh, or prayer intentions discovered by our teacher, Rabbi Isaac Luria, may his saintly and righteous memory be blessed, are no longer appropriate to our own time because the raising up of the divine worlds has entered a new phase. So that it would be like employing kavanaugh intended for a weekday on the Sabbath. Therefore, let everyone be aware of using them. And likewise let none of the kavanaugh or homilies or writings of Rabbi Isaac Luria be read henceforth, for they are obtruse, and no living man has understood them except rabbit. Rabbi Haim Vital, who was a disciple of the master Isaac Luria for several years, at the end of which he surpassed him in knowledge.
In traditional zabataean doctrine, Zevi and his followers claimed that they could liberate the sparks of holiness hidden within what seemed to be evil. Zevi himself would perform actions that violated traditional jewish taboos, such as eating fats that were forbidden by jewish dietary laws and celebrating former fast days as feast days. To quote a prayer by Zebbie, baruch ata adonai elohu, elohinu melek ah olam matir esumram. Blessed art thou, Lord our God, king of the universe, who makes the forbidden things permissible. The process of redemption would remain incomplete as long as the last divine sparks, nitzatzot of holiness and good, which fell at the time of Adam’s primordial sin into the impure realm of the kelepot or shells entrapping divine light, had not been gathered back into their source.
It was therefore left to the redeemer, the holiest of men, to accomplish what even the most righteous souls in the past had been able, not had been able to do. To descend through the gates of impurity into the impure realm of the kalapot and to rescue the divine sparks still imprisoned there. As soon as this task was sufficiently performed, the kingdom of evil would collapse of itself, for its existence was made possible only by the divine sparks in its midst, the messiah was constrained to commit strange acts of which his apostasy was the most startling. All of these, however, were necessary for the fulfillment of his mission.
The psychology of the radical sabataans was utterly paradoxical. Essentially, its guiding principle was whoever is, as he appears, cannot be a true believer in practice. This meant that the true faith could not be a faith which by which men publicly professed. On the contrary, the true faith must always be concealed. In fact, it was one’s duty to deny it outwardly, for it was like a seed planted in the bed of the soul, and it could not grow unless it was first covered over. In the formulation of our dozo, it is ordained that the king Messiah don the garments of a morano.
And so unrecognized by his fellow jews, in a word, it is ordained that he became a morano like me. For this reason, accordingly, every jew is obliged to become a murano. This theme of a secret, hidden, or occult identity became part of this evolving religious philosophy. In essence, a true act cannot be committed publicly before the eyes of the world. Like the true faith, the true act was concealed, for only through concealment could it negate the falsehood of what it is, of what is explicit. Through a revolution of values, what was formerly sacred became profane, and what was formerly profane had become sacred.
And this is where it starts to get in. I’m guessing this is where it starts to get into kind of a twisted sense. Zabatai Zevi is the most famous jew to have become a muslim convert, and that is what, in modern times, the term Sabataan has come to denote. Many with within. Zebbi’s inner circle followed him into Islam, including his wife, Sarah, and most of his closest relatives and friends. Nathan of Gaza, the proponent closest to Zevi, who had caused Zevi to reveal himself as the messiah and in turn became his prophet, never followed him into Islam, but remained a jew, albeit publicly excommunicated by his jewish brethren.
It is thought by some scholars that Zevi had a deeper or had deeper connections with the Bektashi Sufi order. Some similarities between the Zabatain dome and Bektash practice include the deliberate violations of kashrut, halal ritualistic group sex or wife swapping, ecstatic singing or chanting, mystical kabbalah, and belief in an occult or hidden readings of the Torah or Quran. After Zabatai’s death in 1676, these sects flourished and continued to indulge in wife sharing, religious sex, orgies, adultery, and incest. The Zabataans and Sola nika, the dome, the dolmet, regardless, regularly held a celebration on the 22nd day of the hebrew month of Adar, known as the festival of the Lambda.
They kept the exact nature of this celebration a carefully guarded secret until some of the younger members were finally, finally prevailed upon to reveal it. According to their account, the festival included intoxication and an orgastic, orgiastic rite called the extinguishing of the light, which ended in total darkness with the religious sexual sharing of daughters and wives. For what we know of this right, it probably came to Solonica from Izmir, for it borrowed both its name and its contents from the pagan cult of the great Mother, which flourished in antiquity and continued to be practiced after the general demise of the cult by a smaller sect of light extinguishers in Asia Minor under the COVID of Islam.
They said that the violation of the Torah had become its fulfillment, which they in which they illustrated by the example of a grain of wheat that rots in the earth. In other words, just as the grain of wheat must rot in the earth before it can sprout, so the deeds of the believers must become truly rotten before they can germinate their redemption this month. That’s kind of sick. Actually, this metaphor, which appears to have been extremely popular, conveyed the whole of sectarian sabataean psychology in a nutshell. In the period of transition, while the redemption was still in a state of concealment, the Torah, in its explicit form must be denied for the only or for only thus could it become concealed and ultimately renewed.
Some historians maintain that many Sabbataeans became followers of hasidism, or which, unlike Zebbi’s movement, follow the halak hala halaka, or jewish law. There are well known disputes between rabbis accusing one another of being secret followers of Zevi, who had become much reviled in orthodox Judaism due to his apostasy. According to Gershom, Sholem, Sabbath Dayans is the matrix of every significant movement to have emerged in the 18th and 19th century. From hasidism to reform Judaism to the earliest masonic circles and revolutionary idealism. The sabataean believers felt. They felt that they were champions of the new world, which was to be established by overthrowing the values of all positive religions.
This insistence of the radicals on the potential holiness of sin alienated and offended the average jew and caused even the believers themselves to undergo the severest of internal conflicts. The Sabbataans attempted to justify it by citing out of context the talmudic dictum Nazir 23 BH. Transgression, excuse me, transgression committed for its own sake is greater than a commandment not committed for its own sake. The nihilistic tendencies of sabatanism, still relatively mild compared to what was to follow. I suppose he’s meaning the Frankest reached a new peak in the 18th century, as advertised that he’s infamous, infamous successor, Jacob Frank, whose followers regularly sought redemption through infamous religious sex orgies on solstices and equinoxes.
And now this is chapter two. Let me check my time here. So I’m right about an hour let me go ahead and read another chapter or two and see where I get, because this is. What page is this? 19. Thank you, Leonore. I hope I’m saying it. Lenoramia. Thank you for that. I appreciate it. In Jerry Rabo’s book, the Untold Life stories of the 50 jewish Messiahs, he describes Jacob Frank’s philosophy. Although Jacob Frank was born 50 years after the death of Zabatai Zevi, he deserves to be regarded as Zavatai’s true successor. He extended the paradoxical teachings of Zevi, that the coming of the messianic age had transformed sexual prohibitions of the Bible into permissions and even obligations.
According to Frank, engaging in sexual orgies became the means to purify the soul from its sins. Debauchery became therapy. Frank convinced his followers that the only way for their special form of Judaism to survive was for them to outwardly become christians, just as the dharma had descended into the world of Islam. Born the son of a polish Sabataan in 1726, Frank grew up to be a heretical rabbi who claimed to be the reincarnation of both the self proclaimed Messiah Zabatah Zebihe and the biblical patriarch Jacob Frank created a new religion, now referred to as Frankism, which was instigated by the lurian Kabbalah and expanded on the redemption through sin philosophy made popular by Zebbie.
There’s Jacob Frank. Oh, that’s his actual skull. Interesting. Jacob Frank asserted that goddess, the creator, was different from the God who had revealed himself to the Israelites. He believes the biblical God was evil. He believes the biblical God was evil. Believe widely held in gnostic circles, where Frank separated himself was. Was by rejecting every moral law and commandment and declaration that the only way to a new society was through the total destruction of the present civilization. He insisted that child sacrifice, rape, incest and the drinking of blood were perfectly acceptable and necessary religious rituals. Wow. It did not take long for the jewish authorities in Poland to excommunicate Frank and his followers due to his heretical doctrines, which included deification of himself and other controversial concepts, such as purification through transgression.
The Frankest held annual springtime lamb festivals, which consisted of a celebratory dinner that included drug use, sacrifice, nudity, and the exchanging of spouses and daughters for religious sex. And that’s s e x, not sec t s. Frank totally rejected the traditional interpretation of the Torah. He converted to both Islam and Catholicism. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix. As he claimed, God did the sacred with the profane. At the height of his popularity, approximately 50,000 Jews, or ex Jews or crypto Jews, considered themselves his disciples.
This was far less than Sabadai Zevi, his messianic predecessor, who had over 20 times as many followers in the prior century. Despite the smaller following, Frank’s cult would grow to include some of Europe’s royalty, nobility, and richest bankers. You wonder. You wonder where all this stuff comes from. This is like, this is it. This is it. Wow. For Frank, the central theological point was the garbing of the holy in the unholy. In his pseudo gnostic perspective, the holy evil world was a creation not of Yahweh, but of an evil creator God. And yet God had become manifest and present in the world, thus transgressing the boundary between pure and impure human beings.
According to Frank, to imitate God likewise must enter into the realm of the profane. Eve Frank, 1754 to 1864. His daughter, called the lady or the holy matron mother, served as a central figure in the sex rituals of the sect, and that’s sec t while he was still alive. After his death, she continued to run the sect in Offensbach and later in Poland. According to Jacob Frank, everything that has ever been till this day has been done so the seed of the Jews be maintained, and that the name of Israel not be forgotten. But now there is no more need for commandments or prayers, but only to listen and do and go until we come to a certain hidden place.
Gershom Shalom famously said that people will always remember Jacob Frank as one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of jewish history, and was a religious leader who, whether for purely self interested motives or otherwise, was in all his actions a truly corrupt and degenerate individual. Jacob Frank himself candidly summed up his own philosophy in a single remark. It is one thing to worship God, and quite another to follow the path like I have taken. According to Frank, one had to free oneself of all laws, conventions, and religions, to adopt every conceivable attitude, and to reject it, and to follow one’s leader step by step into the abyss.
The annihilation of every religion and positive system of beliefs was the true way he expected his believers to follow. Jacob Frank taught that in order to ascend, one must first descend. In Frank’s own words, no man can climb a mountain until he has first descended to its foot. Therefore, we must descend and be cast down to the bottom rung for only then can we climb to the infinite. This is the mystic principle of Jacob’s ladder. Holy shit. This is the mystic principle of Jacob’s ladder, which I have seen and which is shaped like a v. Again, I did not come into this world to lift you up, but rather to cast you down to the bottom of the abyss, further than it is impossible to descend, nor can one ascend again by virtue of one’s own strength, for only the Lord can raise one up from the depths by the power of his hand.
Frank went on to explain that the descendant, that the descent into the abyss required not only the rejection of all religions and conventions, but also the commission of strange acts, which in turn demanded voluntary abasement, so that liberty, so that libertinism or the disregard of authority and the state of utter shamelessness which led to tikm or fixing slash rectification of the soul, became one and one and the same thing. To overcome these opposing powers which are the gods of the other religions, it was imperative that one perfectly be, or it was imperative that one be perfectly silent and even deceitful.
This was the mystic principle of the burden of silence. A new version of the original Sabbatan injunction against appearing as one really was. Frank articulated that this need for silence as well as its burden. And he says, indeed, this is the principle of the true way itself. Just as a man who wishes to conquer a fortress does not do it by its means of making a speech, it must go there himself with all he or he, but must go there himself with all his forces. So we too must go our way in silence. It is better to see than to speak, for the heart must not reveal what it knows to the mouth.
We are under the burden of silence. Here we must be quiet and bear what is needed, what is needful, and that is why it is a burden. When a man goes from one place to another, he should hold his tongue. It is the same as with a man drawing a bow. The longer he holds his breath, the further the arrow will fly. There are some of the main features of Frank’s kabbalistic interpretations or, excuse me, these are some of the main features of Frank’s kabbalistic interpretations and his religious nihilism. Among the frankest and astonishing and clear cut ideology of jewish territorialism, developed as stated by a frankish writer in Prague.
Israel’s exile was not a consequence of its sins at all, but it was part of a plan to bring about the destruction of the kalipat all over the world. As a result, even if several thousands or tens of thousands of Jews returned to the land of Israel. Nothing would have been completed. According to the same author, this new doctrine of the exile was supposedly secret mystical principle which was hidden from all the sages until it was revealed in Poland. In his classic book, to eliminate the opiate, volume two, Rabbi Marvin S. Anelman explains where Jacob Frank got his financing.
Frankfurt at the time was the headquarters of the Jesuit Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati, as well as Rothschild brothers financial empire. This is worth repeating. Frankfurt was the birthplace of both the Illuminati and the Rothschild Empire. When both Frank. Excuse me. When Jacob Frank entered the city, the alliance between the two had already begun. Weishaupt provided the conspiratorial resources of the jesuit order, while the Rothschilds contributed the money. What was missing was a means to spread the agenda of the Illuminati. And the frankest added that with their network of agents throughout the christian and islamic worlds, Jacob Frank became instantly wealthy because he was given a nice handout by Meyer Amschel Rothfile Rothschild of Frankfurt.
And that takes us to chapter three. And I think I’m gonna leave you guys in suspense for that because I’m trying to keep my videos a little bit shorter, trying to keep them in about an hour. I feel like an hour is a nice sweet spot for, you know, just to kind of keep people in. Intrigued a couple hours, maybe, once in a while, but. But anyway, I’m trying to keep them right about an hour, so. So tomorrow I’m going. I don’t know. Yeah, actually, I will be able to do tomorrow because I think Doug isn’t going to be available to do the Constitution class.
He’s doing a. He’s on, he’s like, he’s on a boat doing something, and he’s. He said that the Wi Fi is very, very poor, so. And honestly, I may not even be able to do the show with Mike because Mike. I guess Mike’s having Internet issues, so maybe a possibility that I just do the whole thing tomorrow, so. But we will see. In any event, I hope you guys enjoyed this. This is, this is very illuminating, you know, and keep in mind that I don’t know if he’s going to talk about it, because I haven’t read this again, I’m reading this for the first time, and I do that on purpose so that you guys can see my initial reaction.
Um, it’s not me. Uh, you know, it’s, what you see is authentic. So, um, I’m wondering if he’s going to talk about what happened in France with the French Revolution, because it was the Jacobins and all this other stuff that was. I mean, that the Jacobins were all illuminati, uh, basically funded, um, right after. Immediately after the american revolution, and that was what led to the rise of Napoleon, so. But I digress. So on that note, guys, I hope that. I hope that this was interesting. It’s a little kind of off topic for me, but I think it’s very fascinating, and it probably will help connect some dots about really untold history that is, you know, that we’re stealing, that we’re still dealing with today because, you know, all of the elites and the Illuminati and all these people, I mean, they’re all.
They all practice this stuff, basically satanic, so. But in any event, that’s all for today, guys. I hope you all enjoy your Monday evening, and I will see all one yana. So everybody have a fantastic evening. Until then, good night.
