Miguel Conner argues that Freemasonry is secretly a fully Gnostic religion, drawing on Charles Fleischhauer's book The Gnostic Secret Doctrine of Freemasonry. He walks through Masonic rituals, lodge layout, the pillars Jachin and Boaz, and the Hiram Abiff legend, reading them as coded maps of the soul's imprisonment in matter under the Demiurge and its escape. The episode closes by linking the Knights Templar and Gothic cathedral imagery to hidden Sophia mysteries and the sacred feminine.
