Agreed!James, I think you would need to expand on your comment since I do not believe the "straw man" was intentional but based on a lack of information/explanation.

Granted, but your comment was ambiguous at best. Beyond that, I think the issue some have had (with your comment) is plausibility and or probability.I used only one example of applying the genuine secrets. Taking my one example and applying it in a jocular way to a local political party does not seem to me like a serious response to my proposition.
So are making hyperbolic claims that cannot ever be verified...Just James said:Straw man arguments are easy

Yep.o are making hyperbolic claims that cannot ever be verified...
LOL! Masonry is science AND art. The Plausibility of science and art is render-able as fact; false hyperbolic claims, not so much and hence irrelevant.Masonry is a science. Plausibility is irrelevant. It is a matter of experiment.Beyond that, I think the issue some have had (with your comment) is plausibility and or probability.
Masonry being a science is called a perspective. Whether something is irrelevant to a conversation is usually determined by more than one party involved. Otherwise, it is called an opinion. I was attempting to help but it doesn't appear needed.Masonry is a science. Plausibility is irrelevant. It is a matter of experiment.

I have described Masonic experiments on various fora but it is rare for any one to attempt them.
Will we wait for another 300 years hoping for time and circumstance to restore the genuine secrets?
Yes, and you were greeted by similar responses from the other members.I have described Masonic experiments on various fora but it is rare for any one to attempt them.
You might wait, if you live that long. Most likely others will not waste their time chasing your pipedream, banishing it to the dusty regions of fancy. They will more likely pursue becoming flawless actors of ritual or simply join the ranks of the F.A.A. (Freemasonic Alumni Association) when they realize in what they are really involved.Will we wait for another 300 years hoping for time and circumstance to restore the genuine secrets?
LOL!I do not know... Right now I'm just focusing on getting us through this thread without intentional or unintentional misunderstanding's.

I need that double like buttonMasonry is an experience, more than anything else, each brother receives his in a different way and is affected differently as well, who is right to say one experience is valid and another invalid?
If this is what you get out of Freemasonry and it works for you, then you are all the better for it.
