The American Work Ethic

Nothing annoys me more than some pontificating money man talking about how unions will ruin this country. He blithely smiles and then talks about hobnobbing with Congressmen at football games and playing golf 7 days in one week. This country rightly corrected the imbalance when unions got off track, caring more about stuffing their wallets than about the product and the company. Now we face a similar situation, only its the bankers, politicians, and lawyers who are acting irresponsibly with new financial instruments like credit default swaps and other paper. They line their pockets pridefully announcing fielty to the shareholder, which is a load of crap, since most who dollar cost averages haven't made much in the last 20 years. They then tell us that their bonuses are due to market forces, we never needed to pay them that much before. Anybody who accepts this gentrified bull ought to have their heads examined. I say send them off to the collective farms so they can get some dirt under their manicured fingernails Mao style. Lets not let the sun set on this Republic, in answer to the eternal query posed by Ben Franklin, as to whether it was rising or setting when viewed on a horizon. These immoral moneymen are trashing it. They aren't so glamorous now.

Raising the Dead

In Masonic ritual, the immediate experience of the Seeker, after being raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular, is that final Word whispered kabbalah style, mouth to ear, in a friendly embrace, as the Brother is surrounded by his Fellows. After physical death, according to the the Law of One, the Soul (mind/body/spirit complex) is placed by the Oversoul (mind/body/spirit/totality/beingness) in the proper place of love/light for healing and attunement with the totality/beingness complex. This placement occurs as the soul moves toward the Light/Love, at a certain point the light becomes too bright and just as in Masonic tradition the eyes must be shielded and the head turned away, so the level is somehow self selective. The healing takes a variable length of time/space. This done, the experience of the cycle or life is distilled and filtered until only the pure distortions remain. At that point, be it the end of a cycle, where a repetition of the grade is required, or not...or the end of a single incarnation, where new catalyst for learning is evaluated and programmed for a next incarnation. This suggests that everything which isn't vibrating consistently with the Creator, is dross, and must be reconciled, which agrees with Eastern views of karma and Western ideas of reaping and sowing, and accounting for every jot and tittle. This does agree with those with Near Death Experience, who move toward the light, but stop and return. I would imagine the only thing that would halt one moving toward that much Love would be a feeling of unworthiness, or unreadiness, for having not fulfilled the goals setout before incarnation, or also being totally beyond ones ken, and realizing that lessons were needed and shouldn't be passed by.

Don't Tread on Me

Give me liberty or give me death. Faith must be chosen freely, then one will become Faithful even unto death. One of the great things about Freemasonry is that there is no dogma, no required belief structure, no demand put upon the participant. One must be a believer to join, that is the only requirement. This is very important, to allow the individual to pursue answers to questions, as regards The GAOTU and truth and every other moral pursuit. This is crucial to the order, and much cherished. For it does not nurture the negative polarity energies of power and control, manipulation and oppression. This is how our superstructure has weathered the times, and why we note the obvious weakness in societies where the God given right to liberty is denied.

The Chakras and Harvest Grading

The energy centers allude to colors of light: the brilliance due to so-called rotational speed" malkuth-red earthy force; orange to emotional self-acceptance; yellow to solar plexus ego-group relations; green the heart, universal love, and blue understanding of spirit/mind , the indigo,worthiness/unworthiness, undistorted energy available from on high; and the crown, gateway to the infinite, violet ray represented by all the centers of the chakras indescriminetly. Getting the first 3 right is essential and hard work, and apparently these balanced/unbalanced energy centers are required work for the entity to be "harvestable" to withstand the sustained impact of light and love of the intelligent infinity. So even as a conscious person focuses for example on green ray, unity and universal love, and the chakra is extremely brilliant. If one hasn't sorted out and balanced the distortions of, orange ray, whatever that implies, say self acceptance, then the violet chakra will not be of the required brilliance rotation. "The will of the entity as it evolves is the single measure of the rate and fastidiousness of the activation and balancing of the various energy centers" This According to the Law of One, book 2.

The Freewill Arcana and the veil of forgetting

In the Plan of our Logos, the evolution of souls is accelerated using the so-called veil of forgetting. Coming into incarnation the soul has no memory of previous incarnations. Being aware of multiple lives would prove the existence of soul, but as it is veiled, the mind/body/spirit complex i.e. person, is driven to faith and to polarize towards its choice of service, to self or others, in short to define the metal of the soul. If this veil was not in place, the being might simply be contented knowing the ever present unity with Diety. Karmic debt from error would be avoided, who would make such a choice? No striving, since catalsyt/circumstance would not be sought or encountered; no polarity, since the dark side would be obvious illusion. Most importantly faith would be weak, as the one who never knows blindness appreciates vision less, compared to him who lived in darkness and then finds light. What is it about faith that is so essential, that the whole of the freewill/choice reality would be wrought to shape it? Supposedly, the arcana before this veil consisted of fewer stations. Much of the catalyst and experience of this illusion/reality is geared toward the transformative choice of polarity. What would it be like without this veil, certainly daunting would be the consideration of how far the soul has to travel in order to evolve, were it aware of truth beyond our limited sight. To me, this suggests the sublimity of the Plan of Diety, the scope and love for all creation, the light which is created out of love and freewill. Organized, everpresent, All That Is, good, bad and indifferent, nothing is lost or unloved.

New Age Information

According to the Ra material, the so called 4th density is one of information revealed. This is why cancer will be more treatable. As the mind/body/spirit integrity becomes more accepted, treatment of cancer will focus on the underlying destructive mental causes, such as anger, as self forgiveness and greatly heightened respect take hold, as exemplified by dietary intake. Just as we rid the physical vehicle of excess material, we rid the mind of distorted thought forms and unhealthy emotion. The transition from the orange ray, mass consciousness of self to the green ray vibration of unity is coming to completion over these last 40 years, so while the people of the earth still have the distortion of self and separation, the earth herself already is vibrating in a unified green ray density coming4th http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=60&action=newpost

NAMS and the State of Ct. Grand Lodge

The Grand Lodge of the State of Connecticut has recently announced temporal recognition of the National Association of Masonic Scouters, which is gaining traction throughout the country. This recognition was pushed by our Grand Line Officer Bro. Thomas Maxwell, and Bro. Steven J. Elzholz, recipient of the Daniel Carter Beard award, both of whom will be Ct. Charter members of NAMS. The association between scouting and masonry is a natural. Seeking to determine the precepts and tenets of NAMS required some time, for after all, we are our brothers keepers.

The Collective or brotherhood of mankind

In the Law of One, the harvestable quality is delineated for 4th density. An entity so polarized at least 51%, toward service to others, would have a distinctive quality of radiance, such that most people would recognize it as impressive. That is a difficult level of attainment, I'm sure you would agree, most of us fall short of that level of purity. Individually, therefore we are, few of us likely to attain the graduation to fourth density. Ra also delineates the law of doubling or squares, that the power of a collective call is exponentiated. Each new adherant to a collective desire doubles the last, ten people together united has the power of over one thousand, when dedicated toward the same polarity/service. The efforts of millions of those around the world desirous of the unity of a collective consciousness, increases the polarization and probability, it is the concept of a brotherhood of mankind, under the fatherhood of God. However our nationalistic dedication to war, fear, power and wealth, distances us from the goal. Nations and religions only give lip service to this ideal of unified collective consciousness. Groups of individuals are not enough, it should be planetary in scope. It is the sacrificing of self to gain the eternity, long suggested. And as in truth we are a collective, in the freewill plane, all souls in evolution, there is no shame in a desire for unity.

Resentment and Forgiveness

In the history of peoples, nations, and individuals it is easy to qualify them by their need for revenge or ability to offer reconciliation. The code of Hammurabi called for justice in the eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This has been the mantra of peoples to this day, and it has led to plenty of bloodshed and the demand for revenge. Nations are particularly poorly suited to conduct themselves in ways which subdue pride and the need for revenge after having suffered defeat. Of course when the victors maintain the boot on the neck of the defeated it doesn't much help. A truly great nation is able to see the error in its ways and lead its people out of the darkness. Forgiveness ends the need to carry forward for justice seeking revenge. Is that surrender weakness? Could you forgive someone for destroying your home without provocation? No, that is black and must be fought to equilibrium, but if it was with provocation, we must be able to see it for what it is, bloodlust.
