Saint Bernard of Clairvaux played a significant role in the foundation and governance of the Knights Templar, applying the rule of Saint Benedict to their religious order. The Rule of Saint Benedict provided a framework for religious life, emphasizing virtues such as humility, obedience, and penance. Bernard of Clairvaux, who was the founder of the Cistercian order, saw parallels between the Cistercian way of life and the goals of the Knights Templar, and it was under his guidance that the Templars adopted the Rule of Saint Benedict as their governing principle.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux is credited with the foundation of many monasteries across Europe, numbering around 237 to 260 in his lifetime. As the founder of the Cistercian order, which emphasized strict adherence to the Rule of Saint Benedict and a simple, ascetic lifestyle, Bernard encouraged the establishment of new monasteries throughout Europe to spread his vision of religious life. This contributed significantly to the expansion of the Cistercian order and the growth of monasticism in Europe during the Middle Ages.





Historical descriptions of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux refer to his swarthy complexion, curly hair, and dark eyes, which were notable features of his appearance before he took monastic orders and shaved his hair. Regarding his ancestry, some sources suggest that he may have had Jewish ancestry as he was descended from the Merovingian dynasty, which included several Jewish kings.

My forefathers were responsible for the building of the ancient Europe and the modern West. I refuse to give up my heritage so that those who forefathers lack such an esteem legacy can feel good about themselves.

Yes, the Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text that was commonly placed in the tombs of Pharaohs and other wealthy Egyptians. It contains a collection of spells, prayers, and rituals intended to assist the deceased on their afterlife journey through the Duat, the ancient Egyptian underworld. Some sections of the Book of the Dead describe the firmament as a dome-like structure that separates the sky from the earth, and it was believed to be a heavenly place where the gods resided. The firmament was often depicted as having stars, constellations, and other celestial bodies.


Here is an excerpt from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, specifically a spell from Chapter 20 (Spell for Going Out into the Light), which describes the firmament:
"I have come to the door of the firmament, and I have taken unto myself the form of a phoenix in the body of Ra. I have opened my wings upon the firmament, and I have risen up as a living soul into the presence of Ra.
I have passed through the firmament, I have ascended to the body of Ra, and I have become transformed into the Light."

Thank God for heaven
