NIEBAUR, THE MORMONS AND THE ‘SPIRITUAL HUSBAND’:
One of the most important people that esoteric societies used to control people like Hitler, Napoleon, Nixon and others is the personal doctor. In this context, we find that Napoleon was later poisoned by his physician after one from Ireland refused to do as he was told, and we find the aegis of something more far-reaching. The religions of this world are all tools of the elite and their social engineers, as Francis Fukayama proudly proclaims in his late 20th century book. The End of History and The Last Man. It does not tell us who created these religions or what their secret rituals are; if he knows. The main purpose of this book is to explore the esotericism of Josephine and Napoleon with a view to finding out more about who handled it and how it was done. With that in mind, we look at a Kabbalist who institutionalized the less than equal treatment of women by Joseph Smith and the Mormons. This man’s father was Napoleon’s physician and his father wanted him to be a rabbi, so I’m sure his father also knew Kabbalah to some degree.
“The Council of Fifty in Nauvoo manifests a distinctly Masonic character, and Masonic ceremonial elements were incorporated into council meetings. A similar tenor emerged in Strang’s Order of the Illuminati. It was only a few months after the alleged revelation that it commissioned to organize the “Illuminati” in Nauvoo that Bennett initiated efforts to form the Masonic lodge. But Mormon historians have yet to specifically explore the implications of another fact: both the name given by Bennett to the organization, “Order of the Illuminati “, as the political concept embodied by the organization had a clear Masonic heritage. The parallel is so close that one wonders if Bennett might have brought this and other more esoteric Masonic concepts with him to Nauvoo. At about this same time, the practice of “spiritual husband” or plural marriage was Bennett made several exaggerated claims in his later expositions on profligate sexual practices, alleging that Nauvoo w women were inducted into three ritual orders based on the sexual favors expected of them. Such claims are not tenable, but recent historians have nonetheless noted the Relief Society’s apparent association with Freemasonry. And Bennett’s more slanderous claims aside, it is a fact that the women leaders of the Relief Society in Nauvoo were at one time all wives of Joseph Smith. Whatever the actual relationship to the practices in Nauvoo, there had been Masonic lodges that indulged in such practices, the most specific example being Cagliostro’s {Part of Crowley’s Soul Continuity and Si Paschal Beverly Randolph [Merovingian Physiocrat like Dupont] he is correct in his supposed similar connection with Eliphas Levi and later with him as well.} Egyptian Rite. By all accounts, Bennett would have an intimate interest in this type of Freemasonry, or this type of Mormonism, and it would be hard to imagine him not encouraging Joseph’s ideas about new forms of ritual marriage.
Against this background, another question remains: Is it possible that Bennett’s meteoric rise to prominence in Nauvoo was related to some unsuspected Masonic factor? Did he come to Nauvoo claiming esoteric bloodlines independent of the Hermetic or Masonic priesthood, or some ancient and occult knowledge, claims that Joseph, due to previous life experiences and associations, chose to honor? Although Bennett may ultimately have been nothing more than a talented charlatan, it must be conceded that a complex legacy of spiritual insight was embedded in Masonic rituals, myths and symbols; they had a history and a lineage that went back many centuries in the hermetic, kabbalistic and alchemical Gnosis. John C. Bennett may have brought more than just Blue Lodge Masonry to Nauvoo. And, regardless of his true intentions, what he brought could have been useful to a prophet.
In Nauvoo in 1842 and after, I suggest that Joseph Smith found a reservoir of myths, symbols, and ideas passed down in the context of Freemasonry but with complex and more distant origins in the Western esoteric tradition. They apparently resonated with Smith’s own visions, experiences that have shaped his spiritual life since the time of his first insights into a prophetic calling. He responded to this stimulus with a tremendous creative outpouring, the kind of creative response that Gnostic myth and symbol were intended to evoke, and evidently had evoked throughout a millennium of history. But, leaving Freemasonry, there was yet another more primary transmission of this esoteric tradition that would touch Joseph’s creative imagination during his last years in Nauvoo.
Joseph Smith and Kabbalah in Nauvoo
By 1842, Joseph Smith had most likely touched on Kabbalah in various forms and versions, even if such contacts remain beyond easy documentation. However, during Joseph’s final years in Nauvoo, his connection to Kabbalah becomes more concrete. In the spring of 1841 he apparently brought to Nauvoo an extraordinary library of Kabbalistic writings belonging to a European Jew and a Mormon convert who evidently knew Kabbalah and its major written works. This man, Alexander Neibaur, would soon become a friend and companion of the prophet.
Neibaur {The Rothschilds were Bauers before they took the occult symbol and shield as their name. Could this be a ‘nee’ [French for ‘born’]-Bauer?} has received little detailed study by Mormon historians, and his knowledge of Kabbalah has earned only an occasional footnote in Mormon historical work. Neibaur was born in Alsace-Lorraine in 1808, but during his later childhood the family apparently returned to their original home in East Prussia (now part of Poland). His father, Nathan Neibaur, was a physician and dentist, who, according to family sources, was personal physician to ‘the’ Napoleon Bonaparte and whose skill as a linguist made him of “great value” to Napoleon as an interpreter (claims perhaps inflated by posterity). Like his father, Alexander became fluent in several languages, including French, German, Hebrew, and later English. He also read Latin and Greek. {It is reasonable to expect that he understood symbology and archetypes and what became Neuro-Linguistic Programming and its hypnotic ‘charms’ to control people.} Family lore states that as the first son and oldest son, his father wanted him to became a rabbi. , and that the young Neibaur had begun rabbinical training.” (two)
