Chapter 45: The Importance of Societies

Lin Bin's next sentence surprised the brothers. "I deliberately left a few of you here today, and I don't mean anything else. It's that I decided to start a club, I don't know, would you like to join it?"

"Society, what is it?" Li Hong looked at Lin Bin suspiciously.

"Since you don't quite understand. I suggest that you don't talk about it yet, and listen to me. You're making decisions. After Lin Bin finished speaking, he looked at a few of them, and then ran to the door to look, and found that there was no one else. "I don't know, have you ever heard of the American Skull and Bones Society. Freemasonry as well as brotherhood. There are also various chambers of commerce in our country, various associations and so on. As for the other organizations in the dark, I won't say more, but I'll tell you about it first, the Skull and Bones Society, the Brotherhood. and Freemasonry. The Skull and Bones Club, also known as the Skull, TheEulogian Club, and the Order of Death, is interpreted in English as: SkullandBones, TheOrderofDeath, TheOrder, CooperationStar, TheEulogianClub, andLodge322, TheSkulls.

The Skull and Bones Society is a secret elite society in the United States, which admits 15 third-year Yale students every year, including many important figures in American politics, business, and education, including three U.S. presidents, and a number of federal justices and university presidents. There are those who believe that the skeletons have long controlled the United States and have ulterior motives, but many journalists have investigated and concluded that the group is no different from ordinary college student societies, and that similar secret elite organizations exist in almost all of the top universities. So in my opinion, it's just a club, a club between college students, but it's stronger. “

After Lin Bin briefly introduced the Skull Meeting, he took a look at a few of them, except for Nanfang and Liu Huan, who were relatively calm. found that the remaining three people, including Li Hong, were shocked by this introduction, and their faces were full of disbelief, Lin Bin thought to himself, I couldn't believe it back then. After all, they are still young.

"Do you think it's impossible, what I want to tell you is that there is nothing impossible in this world, only because of our low status and relatively narrow range of knowledge, you think it is impossible. Remember one sentence. A very important word, anything is possible. Okay, so I'm going to move on, the skeletons. Listen slowly. I just gave an overview of it. ”

There is also the location of its community in Yale University in the United States, and its various traditions, I will not go into them one by one. Let me focus on its initiation ceremony. The initiation ceremony is as follows: the first time a new member enters the door, they go through a complicated and strange initiation ceremony. At the Skull & Bones Orientation, an older "Skull & Bones" member leads the new member into the mysterious Room 322, also known as the Inner Temple. A crowd of people in weird costumes yelled around the new members. The senior member of the Skull and Bones then placed a skull on the new member's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Will you accept the Skull and Bones for the rest of your life?" Early initiates were also required to wrestle with their whole body in the mud and then receive a physical whipping, which is said to mean "death in the old world" and "rebirth in the new world".

Afterwards, they lie in their coffins and confess their deepest sexual secrets to the Skull and Bones Society, and after washing their bodies, the old members of the Skull and Bones Society drape the new members in robes to symbolize that they have gained the status of members of the Skull and Bones Society. The skeletons perform an anointing ceremony for new members and give them new names, symbolizing their new birth and using the Protestant name of such and such a knight. That's what I'm going to talk about about its initiation ceremony. What do you think?"

Then Lin Bin asked the south, Li Hong, and a few people. Li Hong said: "Isn't this the same as joining the team and joining the group? It is almost the same as taking an oath, but it is not as complicated as the ceremony of the Skull and Bones Association you talked about." “

After listening to this, Lin Bin said: "It seems that you still have some opinions, which is very good." All kinds of organizations and groups have their own characteristics. Now I'm talking about Freemasonry and Brotherhood. “

Freemasonry, literally "Free-Masons" (English: Free-Masons), appeared in England in the 18th century, is a religious brotherhood organization, and is currently the world's largest secret organization, they claim to promote fraternity and charity, as well as the spirit of virtue, the pursuit of the meaning of human existence. Many of the world's famous people and politicians are Freemasons. There is no definite theory of its origin. According to the Masonic Charter, its programmatic document, Freemasonry originated in 4000 BC – the year it became A.L. (Anno Lucis, "The Year of Light"), who called themselves Cain's descendants and knew the mysteries of heaven and earth and the universe. Freemasonry is also called the American Society. ”

Next, Lin Bin briefly introduced the personnel structure in the organizational structure of Freemasonry. It is composed of lords, supervisors, secretaries, deacons and gatekeepers, and introduces its system, initiation ceremony, and development history. And the current situation and so on. “

After introducing Freemasonry, Lin Bin said: "In fact, Freemasonry, compared with the Skull and Bones Society, the most important thing is that the establishment time of the two organizations and the requirements for members are not the same, so naturally the influence of the two organizations and other aspects are different. I don't think there's any point in what the Brotherhood is saying. So I would like to ask you what you think of these. What do I say inspire you? You can speak freely, and we brothers will talk about it. ”

After speaking, Liu Huan said: "Brother Bin, tell us these things, I think." The power of the community is greater than the power of the individual. As the old saying goes, the flame is high when everyone gathers firewood, and the strength of an individual is not as good as that of most people. “

After Liu Huan finished speaking, Lin Bin then looked at Li Hong, Zhang Feng, Wang Wei and Nanfang. He asked, "What about the few of you, what do you think?"

After listening to Lin Bin say this, Zhang Feng said, let me tell you my opinion. "I think we can take a look at the fact that there are class leaders and class committees in the school class, and the school has the principal and leaders. All this shows the existence of the organization, and the importance of the organization. Lin Bin then looked at the south, Li Hong and the others.

A few of them said: "We have nothing, we all listen to your Lin Bin." ”

"Well, since you say so. So let me tell you my feelings: "In this world, there are various groups that are either destroyed by various groups or join the rule of these groups to destroy others. ”

"Are you really willing to do this? Because I am not willing, I called you here! That's why. That's what I'm going to talk about next. ”
