Grandiose and elaborate ceremonies, relying on multiple “props” of ceremonial objects, long incantations, and sometimes showy displays of artificial humility such as “vigils” and “fasting”, are all anathema to the authentic doctrines and medieval monastic simplicity of the genuine Orders of Chivalry. Such ceremonies are typically relied upon for “bragging rights” of who are “Real Templars” more than and superior to others, apparently based upon which group has more elaborate practices. The many various ceremonies with “Templar” styled themes, which were invented and widely popularized by 15th-19th century private fraternities, in fact were never used by the original 12th century Order of the Temple of Solomon. The “Knighting Ceremony” of the Knights Templar is the subject of much speculation, fueled by diverse revivalist fantasies.
Through these mechanics of consciousness, the new Knight or Dame literally “taps into” the collective accumulated energies, thoughts, emotions, knowledge, morals, values, and historical missions from over 12,000 years of the ancient Templar Priesthood (which the Knights Templar recovered and restored from the Temple of Solomon), and almost 900 years of the medieval Order of the Temple of Solomon.Īll of those energies, guided by the Holy Spirit, then become an active driving force in one’s life, stimulating inspiration of purpose, synchronicity of opportunities, and what is described by some as the fulfillment of one’s “destiny”, following God’s greater plan.ĪUTHENTIC & PRACTICAL TEMPLAR INVESTITURE CEREMONY (This is what was described by 1st century early Christians as “the workings of the Holy Spirit”.) It is a significant step, by conscious will and focused intent of the initiate, to change their lives, discover new Quests of their own, and give deeper dimension of meaning to their lives.ĭedicating one’s life to Chivalry in the Templar Order, as a legendary historical institution with ancient roots, sets into motion a mechanism of bioenergy and energyinformation physics, involving brain waves interacting with subtle energy fields through electromagnetic and torsion field spectrums and beyond. Swearing the Vow of Chivalry is not for the benefit of the Order, but rather is an esoteric and spiritual act, as a trigger for transformation, for the benefit of the Knight or Dame.
Receiving historically renowned Knighthood or Damehood in the Templar Order, through the traditional Templar Vow of Chivalry, is not a mere “symbolic” act. (Any good faith “conscientious objectors” can simply “affirm” instead of “swear” the Vow of Chivalry, and its references to God are interfaith and non-denominational.) The Vow of Chivalry is given directly to God through the Holy Spirit, and not to the Order itself. The essence of the Investiture Ceremony is swearing the Vow of Chivalry, dedicating one’s life to the Code of Chivalry of 1066 AD, the Temple Rule of 1129 AD, and the Templar Code of 1150 AD. Knighthood or Damehood is vested in the qualified individual by chivalric and canonical “investiture”. Genuine loyalty thereby arises naturally, by mutually earned merit, through shared values and dedication to authentic humanitarian missions of the Order, and thus does not need any artificial mechanism of control.
The Order itself must earn allegiance, by faithfully preserving and upholding the same Code of Chivalry, Templar Code and Temple Rule as all its members must also do. Authentic to its historical practices, the Templar Order does not have any “Oath”, as its Knights and Dames by their spiritual motivations do not require any artificial device to establish allegiance.
