Of course,the Scottish Rite of Freemasons is an organization began by the exiled Templars.
Exactly 656 years later, the Order avenged its suppression against a Catholic President. The usurper, Lyndon Baines Johnson, initiated into the Order on October 30, 1937 in Johnson City Lodge No. 561, at Johnson City, Texas.
Like the namesake George Bannerman Dealey, my grandfather was a 33d degee Mason. The only occult rite I observed him performing had to do with a high story of an office building in the state capital populated by a rainforest of IBM card fluttering machines, sometime in the 'fifties in the Age of Ike.

I'd completely forgotten about the Templar Knights date being the 22nd November Phil. How intriguing. And, of course, the Templars later got somewhat subsumed into the Freemasons, and Freemasonic teaching drawn very from the Hebrew Qabalah - and the significance of the number 22 in the Qabalah is enormously important for three reasons.
One being that there are 22 letters in the Hewbrew alphabet (each letter has a very meaningful symbolic value), another being that there are 22 "paths" on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, and each path is assigned a very fitting Hewbrew letter, and the third being that there are 22 Major Arcana in a tarot deck and thus, one Major card assigned to each path and each letter of the alphabet.
Every western occult system or school is founded upon the Qabalah whether they be schools aimed at developing consciousness or, indeed, those other schools aimed at spreading spite.
I think we might have a ball rolling here...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
