An exploration of the influence of secret societies on the formative documents and symbols of the United States. Everyone knows who the Founding Fathers were in American history. Most people, however, never learn of the founders' connections to the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians and other esoteric orders. In "Founding Fathers, Secret Societies", Robert Hieronimus investigates these important connections and how their influence can be traced throughout our most significant national documents and symbols, especially the Great Seal. He reveals in detail how the reverse of the Great Seal - which appears on the back of the one-dollar bill - is a blueprint that conveys the secret destiny of America. By understanding the kabbalistic meaning of the Great Seal's reverse, he shows how America's current era presents unique opportunities for the fulfillment of the Founding Fathers' spiritual vision. This new edition of America's Secret Destiny reveals the Founding Fathers' spiritual vision for America as encoded in the Great Seal. Tracing the influence of the Iroquois League of Nations upon the Constitution, this book exposes the deep connections the Founding Fathers had with the Freemasons and other secret societies.
