    As serious as I have ever been in my life.

    I'd like to recall Washington and his visions from Valley Forge(tur or not). If at all true could this be considered a prophesy? To further explore I would cast my thoughts in the direction of biblical characters being Masonic figures from the past who were given instructions from a heavenly...

    As serious as I have ever been in my life.

    Now I have visited many different Masonic forums for quite a while now and asked some pretty goofy sh*t in the past but as of this moment I have one question that I would ask any and all Freemasons regardless of their religious beliefs. In your honest opinion do you believe that there can be...

    I want to discuss what's not to be discussed

    We are good and understood.

    I want to discuss what's not to be discussed

    It was suggested that you could and if you feel comfortable (because "You should be comfortable with your sort in-lodge") after seeing what type of men are entering that then you should contact the secretary and discuss a possible invite. Seemed reasonable to me and I"m sure the idea differs...

    I want to discuss what's not to be discussed

    I didn't mean as to say to enter onto the lodges premises. lol i meant like sit outside in your car on public property and get a vibe so to speak.

    I want to discuss what's not to be discussed

    James, I too have been so drawn to the desire to sit outside of the lodge to feel if I was to be drawn in (so to speak). I mean the almost natural draw that I feel pulls me towards masonry and its beauty. Yet to be sitting outside of the lodge like the kid that wasn't picked to play. Almost...

    7 years of silence

    Experiences? Such as this taste that comes at random and the smell that soon follows off and on all day everyday? It's almost as a fresh cut wood smell. I've only tasted this taste one time at an early age during a bad decision that was with a few of those "friends" and it is a taste that I...

    7 years of silence

    I find silence(in the sense of the word) to be almost entirely out of reach. Stilling the tongue is an achievement that I need to accomplish one day(The sooner the better). Having so much time to think due to the virus situation, given knowledge and understanding only brings more and more and...

    Hermeticism in early Freemasonry

    James the Just, I thank you for your explanation. I was totally on end as far as that remark went and was at a loss for explanation. I found early in study that Freemasonry would take you around the block when it comes to translations and understanding and knew early on that there had to be more...

    7 years of silence

    Now if I recall, this is the minimal amount of time that one would have to keep his mouth shut and only speak when it was necessary before receiving the ritual and becoming an MM. Now...lets see if I can touch base on the reason for said events and why it was required to be silent for seven...

    Hermeticism in early Freemasonry

    I've been patiently waiting to bring this back up. 1 Oh for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, — A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His word ? 3...

    Delivery of ritual

    Oh, my ignorance rears its ugly face. Without a doubt I'm sure the ritual itself is longer than 30 minutes. From gathered knowledge and common sense the early preparations for the ritual I'm sure would alone take longer than that. I was only assuming(or another comment may have stated) that...

    Delivery of ritual

    Now I'm almost entirely sure that the remark "Ahhh, Masonic rituals are soooo easy!" has never fell from the lips of a Freemason. Yet I can only imagine the deserving rewards from not only your own raising but being part of another's (perhaps during many years/decades ) has its own rewards. The...
