Masonic Esotericism

Today we have so many sources of spiritual information the difficulty becomes finding information which rings true. The ritual suggests that we are first veiled seekers. The stairs suggest an uphill climb once a bit of awareness comes. Then ones life work is met and the fragility of the life becomes apparent to be followed by something further. So what we have is a starting point that no believing man anywhere in the world can have a problem with. Universal, tolerant and inclusive, seeking of greater knowledge and more correct intention by each proponent and an assurance that it is old wisdom to value integrity as much as life, the path of the spiritual warrior.

Grand Architect of the Universe

In my opinion, (my Grandpa always said, if one should opine, preface it as such, Bro. Otto Francis, was an upright 50 yr. mason of Minnesota), the subject of God is gaining clarity. It is all that is, it is all encompassing and infinite. It is mystery clad beyond a certain horizon. It is loving and granting of freewill, order and chaos. It is learning, breathing universes and spirit. If you fused all our religions, I think we would grasp it better. Like Oahspe, we are in just a moment, at the moment, yet infinity too is our inheritance, thanks be to God, may this little planets people find order and progress together. That's my take on the Grand Architect of the Universe. Its strikes me as odd, but then Im an odd fellow, now we have all this info. about It, we even more are required to burn off the dross, hard work no matter the metal.

Universal Brotherhood Geometric Progressing

Group action is particularly useful if you consider a potential for squaring power by intent. For example if an idea is dedicated to the positive polarity, aka service to others, then its potential becomes exponential for every additional proponent. So if 10 people desrie a singular circumstance, the effective power is squared to 1024 or there abouts. Sounds good in theory, if true however then a fraternal organization worldwide which believes in a powerful idea...the idea of the brotherhood of mankind, under the fatherhood of God, then that idea could very well come to pass. So what would it take for such a thing to come to pass? Dedication to principle, worldwide communication, the intention of understanding tolerance, and an expectation that confusion in freewill, plus some malcontents will try to spoil the effort.

Love your enemies

Jehosuah said that we should love our enemies. That arguement to me is that what is most powerful is that it is unconditional. Not the same as pushing back against the forces of that which is not, when one is cornered to an untenable position, good pushes back to the point of equilibrium. That is sortof the limit of an eye for an eye. So to say that we shouldn't talk to our enemies, that it somehow legitimizes them, is patently absurd. Through back channels the talk goes on all the time. Are we concerned that the American people can't handle it if we speak to Iran, or that Iran will get too big for its britches? What is the price of communication today? Nothing... you pick up the phone and its as if you are in the next room. We have been talking to Iran, we bombed its long time enemy, and we opened the opium trade and stopped the wanton execution of Afghan women by the Taliban, high props. Now its time to get out...there is a point of equilibrium and their people have cell towers and a taste of freedom.

The Great Pyramid and the antechamber

The preparation of candidates in the anteroom is a time for introspection. In the Great Pyramid, the antechamber is mostly Granite, symbolizing its spiritual nature, similar to the Kings Chamber, with its geometry of infinite time/space, all of granite. The entire rest of The Great Pyramid is of limestone. The only possible design which embodies both Pi and the golden section. The antechamber is the access to the portal of the Kings Chamber, and access is not automatic there, shown by the symbolic triple veil portcullis. It protrudes into the Grand Gallery with the Great Step, that date may be the commencement of the Kosmon era, dated by OAHSPE at 1848. The Pyramid Decoded by Lemesurier is the most comprehensive look at the numerologic study of the Pyramid, tho not the first i.e. Smyth. Edgar Cayce validated many times the timeline of the inner compartments. The sacred geometry of the kings chamber is beyond belief, and the triple test of the antechamber suggests that successfully reaching harvest, or graduation from this plane of existence, is no easy passage. Also I think that the limestone coming down from above at the back of the antechamber may suggest an elevator like quality, that qualifying for spiritual entrance to the timeless Kings Chamber is almost unattainable when considering the multitudes of souls who have led lives here on earth. O'Being, that high demand for a chance to incarnate into a planet near harvest, as our is, is so high, it speaks of the great potential for consciousness raising at this moment. What to do? of course redouble your efforts, toward the service of your choice, to others or to self. Remember in the Nag Hammadi, Christ even noted how difficult it was for him to maintain his own grade of purity. Love all that is, in every moment, the sacred Boss, the living bread.

Serrendipidy and coincidence

If you consider that there are no accidents and that every moment in this wondrous machine has vast energies behind it, from the comets hitting Jupiter, to the sand as it blows upon the dunes, you can draw the conclusion that in our lives there is no coincidence. We know that the law of cause and effect, is not random, and easily explainable. There may be an equally weighty law governing time/space and events which is outside of that, a spiritual law. After all the eternal now, is all that is, and surely there must be order to it. And we are told that the spirit speaks in serrendipidous ways. Allowing the teachings of the spirit to enliven our world. So the ancients looked for omens, and in the straws/coins of I Ching. It is no small thing to be a harmless people or a people righting wrong, and the karma of a people is carried forward. If one is full of fury, or resentment, the spirit will show that wall blocking the way. This vast machine whose workings we do not understand is full of order, not randomness, we can't understand it now, but we still can learn, if watchful for the teachings of seemingly coincidental serrendipidy.
