    2014 Grand Lodge of Texas Resolutions?

    I have looked all over the GLoT website, Google, and this site and found nothing. Have they been released yet? This seems pretty late in the year to release them. Thanks in advance!

    I am a 3rd degree Mason

    Join a lodge. Think of it like this: You cannot have a keen understanding of sex until you have done it with someone else.

    Advice For Esoteric Masons

    Esoterically speaking, the egg is still being sought. Every Mason since antiquity has had certain expectations and pre-conceived notions. To many, it has been disillusionment.

    Need a little wisdom from members

    But remember: Secret Teaching for All Ages is an encyclopedia, within it are short "essays" concerning various occult and esoteric concepts. View it more as a "Wikipedia Esoterica", pre-internet.

    Advice For Esoteric Masons

    Bro_Vick! Thank you so much for a well written post on a very little understood topic. In my lodge, I see many young men wandering in looking for the very same experience you describe, and many wander right back out. I am looking forward to reading your blog, but it seems to have been removed...

    The Grand Lodge Of Arkansas Continues Its Masonic Purge

    Because there might be some jurisdictions that haven't recognized the PH GLs in their area for reasons other than racism. Also, if you derecognize an entire region of the nation, it leads to sectionalism, which wouldn't solve the problem. If state GLs gang up on ONE GL, then it has more of an...
