§9: The Tablet of Fonece
8: Masonic Plates
Part VI. The Book of Saphah Revisited
Discovering the True Spiritual Path of Oahspe
The Tablet of Fonece *6
Plate Location: (Saphah Quadeth Iz: 5↔5)
Presented Origin: Phoenicia, Ancient Semitic civilization. To a degree, the text story (really a rite) for the Plate of Fonece is pleasant enough and for many readers of Oahspe, the theme will be one that is easy to relate to: finding a harmonious community in this world in which to live a spiritual life. In the end however, the conclusion given here is that there is no such place in the world, for only with the
Masonic community can one feel such happiness. Alas, but the other elements of the story are less appealing. By now we have all had our fill of Masonic symbols in Saphah. I never expected anything like this where there would be so many references to a cult in Oahspe itself. The truth is that when Jim Dennon in an offhand manner stated that Newbrough was a Mason of high ranking and completely dedicated to Masonry, none of that really seemed so bad nor made much of an impact. Truth is, I think to a degree, Jim Dennon felt pretty much the same. However, after simply looking at Saphah section by section, it has become clear that the inclusion of Masonry in Saphah is the result of a fanatical effort to do so. The Plate of Fonece, while different in format, is simply a continuation of this saturation of cultist symbolism.
Where this section differs is in that there is a fairly long text or story that accompanies it, over some 1,200 words. Now this might be a sign that finally there is a divergence from Masonry influences. Not a chance, as this is a typical rite from the Masons In fact, this is no secret of this being a rite, since at the end of the passage, the editors declare that the signs, passwords, and forms of initiation are secret, that this rite is current being practiced and so these elements will not be published. Who was practicing such a rite, a rite out of Saphah, inserted into and falsely published in Oahspe?
John Newbrough, supreme executive Mason, and his lodge members is the answer, all rites practiced as their new cult religion, deceptively portrayed as based on Oahspe.

It is amazingly perverse to see how committed Newbrough, his lodge brothers, and the Masonic spirits are to achieving Masonic cult ‘graffiti’ upon Oahspe. And it is being done with horrifying images that in no way make anyone feel good about the ugly drawings before their eyes. Additionally, and as usual, so many of the images are not even clear. Therefore there likely are even more Masonic images in this
16 panel Masonic comic. This is all so much in the open that it also amazes one that no one in the Oahspe-reader-believer community, thousands of people, have never emphatically, publicly declared their disgust for the content in Saphah. It is so very unattractive, cultish, and stupidly put together with numerous errors. For example, even the comic panels of Fonece are not ordered in a narrative sequence that matches the text with the images.
Just why is that?
One conclusion that one can make is that this is all razzle-dazzle, that those who cannot make sense of Saphah, simply give up trying to understand without criticizing the negative aspects just mentioned. Apparently everyone has been simply brainwashed into accepting Saphah’s mess because they are so impressed with the truly high and mighty ideas from the rest of Oahspe.
Oahspe warns us about this: Let all things be proved, or supported by corresponding testimony known to be true. As the holy man perceiveth how things should be in the heavens above, so they are. The unholy man seeth heavenly things but dimly; he bindeth himself in ancient revelations which have become corrupted. Jehovih is as near this day as in time of the ancients; put thyself in order, becoming one with Him, and no book so easily read as His created universe. (Divinity 5:9-10) *6
The Masons are indeed fixated on ancient dogma, and corruptly follow it blindly and bind their followers unto cumbersome and misleading rites and symbols.
These, then, are rules of light: That which is self-evident: That which is axiomatic: That which is substantiated by facts: That which hath a parallel in known things: Things that lead to peace, order, and the uplifting of thy neighbor and thyself. Also to discipline thyself to be constantly on the alert to be pure, good, truthful and gentle in thy speech; to practice right-doing these are following the highest light. (Discipline 8:11-12) *6
Meditating upon and studying the ugly images of Fonece does nothing to help anyone anywhere. In fact, such would be harmful due to your mind forming a connection with images which have a spiritual representation, that is a spiritual reality, in the dark realms and with the dark spirits who created them. Please take a look at some of these:
These images are anything but spiritually divine. Fonece, as with virtually everything in Saphah, dishonors Oahspe by including that which is confusion, obtuse, and demonically-linked. Furthermore, studies of this nature are no substitute for achieving service for the poor or developing one’s oneness with The Great Spirit.
Rite Text Masonic Symbols: burning altar (Fonece 4, 6), burning incense (Fonece 6), diamonds (Fonece 6), Om (Fonece 56), All-Seeing Eye (Fonece 54), pot (Fonece 56), Cardinal Directions (Fonece 8, 12, 15, 19, 20, 21, 25, 29, 31, 37), jouneys (Fonece 1-56), Israel (Fonece 39).
Here again and again in the text are more than a few insertions of Masonic symbols. Additionally, the entire rite is
in the true Masonic style for some of their rites, that is, a journeying pilgrim of some kind:
There, he learns that all degrees in Freemasonry represent a journey. He is taught in the Entered Apprentice degree that the lodge is a representation of the world, and that our journey through it is a representation of our own life’s journey. *33333
There are hundreds of such pages of journeys in Masonic rite books, for example:
Master: Whence came you and wither are you travelling?
Initiate: From the West, traveling East.
Master: Why did you leave the West and travel East?
Initiate: In search of further Light in Masonry. *4444
Other common Masonic elements in the Saphah section of (1) Fonece: are the master-initiate Q&A rite-style, (2) a symbolic story recounting, (3) a spirit powers test, and (4) secret passwords, signs, and ceremonial acts.
Therefore, not only are there Masonic symbols, but Masonic rite styles existent here as well. So, unfortunately, this is just more Masonic false religion mumbo-jumbo.
Now some would say they don’t care about any of this; that it doesn’t matter if the Masons infiltrated Oahspe in a corrupt manner. It is all just a historical record.
I would emphatically answer then you who are saying this must also be ignorant of what the actual purpose, themes, or
message of Oahspe are. In consequence, those who would support or minimalize the false inclusion of Masonic-material do not know what they are talking about. For the very essence, message and purpose of Oahspe is to lead the people of this world AWAY
FROM religious dogma and rites, to instead seek, hear, and understand Direct Inspiration from the Creator of the Universe:
I have given thee many sacred books, and I said to thee: Save thou judgest them, thou shalt be caught in a snare; I charge thee, thou shalt accept nothing from men, nor angels, nor Gods. But thou shalt rely on thine own inspiration from thy Creator. Such is
My word which I speak to thine own soul. What cometh to thee from a man is indirect
inspiration; what cometh from an angel is indirect; and what cometh from the Gods is indirect. No direct inspiration of Me can come to thee from a book, nor a sermon, nor from anything in all My creations, but only from Me, thy Creator. Though one man receive direct inspiration from Me, and he write it in a book, yet, when it cometh to thee, it is indirect inspiration, and is not binding upon thee, only so far as My direct inspiration upon thee moveth thee to receive it. (Inspiration 9:8 14)
Thus, anyone attempting to justify Masonic elements in Saphah might as well be arguing for the inclusion of Islamic dogma, Baptist Christians, or that of any religion in the world. And they would be just as gravely wrong about all this as Newbrough and his Mason friends in this scam were and are.
So long as Masonic claptrap and priests and priestesses in ceremonial robes and secret rites are being practiced, the noble aims and heavenly connections of Oahspe are being obscured. So long as this moronic Masonic cultism continues, any chance for Faithist unity among mortals or with the angelic heavens above is impossible. And now you know why Oahspe Faithism has for the most part failed so badly in good works or in unity.
What is more, the New World Order elites trace their ill-begotten, corrupt evil back to the Masonic order, many of which still are active members. And just as these “leaders” have taken numerous steps to destroy civilization, the family, and all human rights, they are working to debase all persons to increase the harvest of the hells to the maximum. A full analysis of this plus proof shall be presented in the histories of post-Shalam groups near the end of this book.
