Any man well-connected with his Spirit soon finds that those he surrounds himself with must be of like mind and spirit or his own spiritual growth shall be sabotaged but his own efforts or lack of them. Your disturbance should be telling you something very important about your situation and...

I'm sure his Lodge Brothers and GL would like to know what he is putting out there.

Yes. 1) You cannot Properly Apply any of your FC Working Tools, The Plumb, The Square and The Level, unless you have Properly Developed them by doing the Work of the EA Degree first. It is the EA Work that Develops each of them. 2) You cannot Properly Apply your EA Working Tools, The...

If I understand what you are asking, Yes huh?

And that is exactly why I would save them. They are a written account of what I have found best guides me Masonicly.

Yes, I would my Brother. I reread them continuously. They remind me of what I have already discovered and had forgotten. They help me focus my efforts upon Building me better. And they are the very books that I wished I had been given or were at least available when I went through the...

If you want good in depth Masonic Light, check out the Building Better Builders Series of Uncommon Masonic Education Books and Materials when you get a chance. You'll be very glad that you did.

I'd kindly and gently get up and leave. I have better things to do than to be wasting my time with naïve, ignore-ant and attacking spirits, especially if they are supposed spiritual leaders. Furthermore, I shan't have my relationships with others hold me hostage to a hostile environment...

The Building Better Builders Series of Uncommon Masonic Education Books and DVDs ;-)

Aside from participating in ritual and hanging out with good men, there are no functional educational aspects to the Lodge that actually make good men better. Many do not come back because they come to find that they are expected to run the gym and keep the equipment maintained rather than get...

Your points and questions are mote. The issues you bring forth are convoluted. You confuse "Regularity" with "Recognition". The former is determined by the Organization alone. What is "Regular" to one Organization, may not be to another. Likewise, "Recognition" is extended between...

Some new Light for you: There exists a multitude of "Recognized" Jurisdictions who don't recognize Landmarks at all. Furthermore, the few that do recognize Landmarks don't agree amongst themselves upon what these Landmarks actually are. Suggestion: When you feel insulted that someone would...

Brother, you have taken liberty and have wrongfully representing my belief. Furthermore, your logic is assumptive, oversimplified and flawed. Moreover, your conclusion also does not embrace reality.

Be frank with him, if you believe it shall not affect your working relationship. Let him know Masonry is about improvement. He wants something from you, and you should have no problem asking for something in return. Tell him he is likable, and that he has a general and genuine negative...

I'd go one step further and say that "Freemasonry exists as a Fraternity for some, a Sorority for some, and a co-ed for the rest." The one you joined is a Fraternity.

You must first understand the difference between the words "Regular" and "Recognition/Recognized." You shall not be understood by those who have not a clue about the differences and you shall not be agreed with by those who have different opinions. That being said... The simplest response...

Do you feel that watered down catechisms are hurting the fraternity? Only if it no longer matters that Masons have internalized road maps to follow.

The legislation repealing R&D #3 and allowing the lodges to vote on re-instatement of affected Brothers did pass. No, I do not have a link. I have my Brothers' Word who witnessed it. F&S, Coach N
