    Regalia

    I have been blessed to travel abroad several times, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed that the regalia that the Grand, WM and High Priest wear are very similar to the common wear of the Egyptian Master Builder. The Fancy Necklace, The Apron and The Head Gear.? If you look at...

    Has anyone ever noticed that the regalia that the Grands and the WM and The High Priest wear, are all very similar to the same regalia that the ancient Egyptian Master Builders wore? The fancy necklace, the apron and the left foot forward? Just asking if anyone else has ever noticed that...

    York Rite- Joining the Chapter, Council, Commandery?

    I know in some jurisdictions that the only thing you have to do is confess that you will defend the Christian faith. The strange thing is there are Muslims that are in the Commandery and they will tell you if they defend Christianity they are defending Islam and Judaism also all at the same...

    I am very happy with Prince Hall the man he was way before his time and I am very happy that Africa Lodge# 1 was able to start under the direction of the Grand Lodge Of Ireland. I am also very aware of the good work that PHA does in the community and applaud that also. But I will not sit on the...

    How about dealing with some real life issues like. Over 60 % of Master Masons that are raised never visit the lodge again. An alarming number in my opinion. Also membership, dues and petitions are at an all time low in the last 100 plus years. Fraternal organizations across the board are is dire...

    One thing I learned in college many years ago is that at some point people in open debate/ communication have to reach a point where they choose to agree they are at a variance and respect the other persons view point regardless if they follow it or not. I am at that point. I respect your views...

    What I said was that I have text from the 1800s stating that PHA was clandestine, my point was what one may call clandestine today just might be mainstream tomorrow. I know PHA has never been clandestine and never will. The entire gist of the conversation was and is there are many places to gain...

    So it could be a mystery to you while it is clear as day to others. Somehow somewhere we lose the basic idea that the Masonic journey is a very personal one and may take you to many places that you never thought you would go. But out of discourse comes more light and education. Only the fool...

    Tldubb you make some very good points indeed. But this is not a Nat Geo issue the simple question is explain to me why do we have relics and data from Cush, Kemet, Abyssinia/ Ethiopia showing that they clearly was doing what you call Freemasonry today or Speculative Masonry for others and those...

    Cryptic Degrees

    I have noticed some states have KT that did not go through the Cryptic session at all. Is this a common thing or one of necessity due to memberships being down and every body trying to survive as best as it can.? Freemason Connect Mobile

    I also don't put any weight behind any so called conspiracies that people talk about. Everything comes out in the wash because there will always be someone that has just a little bit more to add and clear it all up. Or at least start the process of clearing it up. Freemason Connect Mobile

    Great addition and great information shared. I stand corrected and appreciate the knowledge. That is one of the wonderful things about open conversation always a chance to be educated and to add to the educational tool box. Again thank you for the corrections they are greatly appreciated...

    The thing that so many fail to realize is that during the time of Socrates and Hippocrates and so forth. Greece was in direct conflict of philosophy. Matter of fact they were putting them to death in alarming numbers. There is no way that all the works that are attributed to these men could have...

    The So called Socratic imperatives are nothing more then knowledge and theory that was stolen by Alexander and taking back to Greece. It is a very good book that you may find interesting called Stolen Legacy. Freemason Connect Mobile

    Shriners, Scottish Rite or York Rite

    I agree I will never sale any Masonic body short, I truly believe both bodies offer something very unique and rewarding for the seeker of more light. Freemason Connect Mobile

    I could have giving the standard reply of the lodge I hail from and the number of lodge if you would have asked how old and also I could have giving you the Grand Lodge as my Grand Mother. But what would that prove ? Again it is very rare that it is used in my jurisdiction. I am more concerned...

    I Understand your view totally it is the mainstream view, what I was posing is be careful of what we label because if you look at the history of some bodies they were plagued with the same rhetoric. I respect your view let me say that first I have a tendency from youth to looks at all angles...
