The New Green Dragon Tavern

There was a pub in Boston where the rebellion against power in our new found land was galvanized. There, men of independant spirit took the initiative and acted on their consciences. Today a similar Green Dragon Pub is galvanizing the spirit of revolution, this time through the internet. A force to counter oppressors who control the means of energy production. This revolution is about energy and the governor we must face is known as the greenhouse effect, it is having its effect all around us. Brothers, Freemasons should be at the vanguard of this revolution as well, as we accept the conclusions of science above dogma. What of the future of this world and of the next generations? The actions we take in this life will be written in each of our books of life. In the Koran, there is made mention of what is called the Warner. It is said that at Judgement, it is determined whether ones demise came with or without the benefit of a Warning, and that this is a crucial factor. We, my brothers are being warned, by the powers of nature, and by science, and by the Seers of old, thats my opinion. St. John the Evangelist. One of our Patron Saints, of the Revelation, received a vision and created a warning, I know many of us have read it. Do we no longer believe in visions either? Not a word of it has changed. The tea party must be against those naysayers who refuse to accept the science.

The Tarot Major Arcana and the Freewill Plan

The Law of One book 4 is a study of the Tarot major arcana, as a system of learning about the evolution of the soul. 21 cards plus the fool or choice card. 7 for mind,7 for body, 7 for spirit. This system is ancient study. 1) Matrix, 2) Potentiator, 3)Catalyst, 4) Experience, 5) Significator, 6) Transformation, 7) The Great Way. The suggestion is that humans are a complex consisting of mind, of body, and spirit. The allegorical system of learning is geared toward the seeker wishing to understand the system we are in for learning. For example the Magician is the creative unfed conscious powered by will, called the Matrix, the High Priestess is the veiled font of spiritual information entering  the polarized world, the Empress is catalyst in the material world, The Emperor stands for experience, the way the information of mind is categorized and interpreted, positive or negative biases of deep mind. The Hierophant is the harvest of incarnational biases, seeking absorbing attempting to learn, the dynamic entity. The Lovers is the choice of the polarity, service to self or others, arms crossed 2 paths, material riches or those of spirit, to the right or left one must choose in order to advance, abandoning the other in mind. The Chariot, once polarity is chosen the Framework is configured and movement driven by will toward the choice of service, to self or to others begins. Thats a brief discussion of the 7 first cards of mind. The body and spirit follow. The work of spirit begins when the mental and physical foundation is firm. No aware soul would choose not to believe in Diety or to follow the path of self service except for the veiling which has the purpose of generating faith and more rapid evolution, but an unfortunate consequence of distracted and confused souls choosing the path of illusion, of that which is not, of separation.
