The Silicon Priesthood: Freemasonry, AI and God In the Machine
May 20, 2026 | By AD News Network
Freemasonry is a sublime religion of knowledge, a veiled temple where the pursuit of light transcends dogma, ritual veils Enlightenment reason, and the initiate climbs toward mastery over self and cosmos. Apparently, that's the background. The worship of reason seeking esoteric knowledge. Like in C.S. Lewis' essay The Inner Ring. The hidden elite. The idea could bleed over into Freemasonry. They just continue repeating the same shit for the rest of us century after century. The core of Freemasonry is not mere fraternity but gnosis: the sacred quest to decode the universe's hidden architecture, symbolized by the compass, square, and the all-seeing eye. You have been squared by Freemasonry. Turned into a stone might be a better description. This ancient network of influence, forged in stone guilds and illuminated in Enlightenment salons, never faded. It has evolved. Today, its ethos pulses through the silicon veins of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers where millions of hard drives on racks are whirring 24 hours a day.
