So according to.some "expert" on AMERICAS BOOK OF SECRETS on The NatGeo channel there are actually 360 not 33° of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. ......what say u brethren?
They tell non masons that you have to be a Master Mason to know the secrets.

Then the theorists tell the Master Masons that they are the workers and are not high enough to know. The real secrets are at the 32 degree.

Then after getting our 32 degree they tell us yet again that we actually need to be 33rd degree masons.

Then once one is invited to be a 33rd degree they then tell them that you are still not yet high enough. You must go for the 360th degree for all the secrets...

It's like that time share trip you take...

but wait, there is more if you take the next step!

Any programs you see about freemasonry on history channel, natgeo and the like, assume sensationalism over any amount of factual accuracy. They only want to appeal to the CT crowd.
True, but I do love watching them, very entertaining.

I often ask these people for the specific office or name of the person who does know all these things. Never had a taker.

You mean you guys don't know about the 360 degrees? From the center of the lodge the initiate slowly turns one degree at a time to learn their lessons, then they do them over again faster and faster until spinning and spinning. It's based on ancient Sufi practices.

Isn't that 360° = 0°?
I'm sure most of the brethren here is 363° or 723° already.

My point is: At the end, you're going to be always an EA, no matter what degree you have, because that is the important thing, you always have to work your brut stone (sorry, I don't know exactly how to say that in English) till you pass to the eternal orient. For me the philosophics grades are interesting, but the grade in self, it is not....


Saludos.
