The Exponential Call of Brotherhood

According to Edgar Cayce, the Essenes and the Israelites in general were long anticipating the arrival of the Messiah. Astronomer/astrologers, prophets, and the like had long called into the universe for the long awaited One. Our collective calling redounds into the universe and is heard. The Law of Freewill dictates that those who do not wish to know of the Unity of the Creation must factor into, and be divided/integrated from the square of those who are making the Calling. This is known as the Law of Squares, that united minds in service to others squares the power of that thought called for, so united. The call for the Great Initiate is again quite loud, from all the Children of Abraham, whether it be the Hidden Imam, or the Messiah, or the second coming. The only problem may be that it is not necessarily The Truth that people want, but rather that which agrees with their long held beliefs. We are fortunate that the Law of Service squares the desire of those who call, otherwise much good would have no beingness at this time/space. It is the same with our call for Universal Brotherhood.

Truth and Paradox

Truth is veiled, that is the maxim, while many would maintain that there is no truth, or that it is unknowable, or that all is simple random probability. That suffering is the standard learning experience and that we start in confusion and must seek light to understand the reality/illusion. There is underlying law and truth to the Creation and all paradox is resolvable. That the perception of infinity, and open mindedness is required to be able to penetrate to the logic of the Plan of our Logos. It is logical, unlike math however, it is just not provable, and gives logical reasons why that is so. First Freewill is required so that man has the great potentiation available which is the leap of faith. So Diety must be ever unprovable for this electrifying catalyst to occur. Then there is balanced polarity, this is essential so that each soul may determine its own grade of purity, in service to either extreme, to self or to others. This enables the grading, as the self aware soul spiritually distinguishes itself on the great balanced field of polarity. While this may seem obvious, imagine if faith was established in a state of easy verification, how different would the metal of our souls be.

Yahweh and Armageddon

One of the confounding historical explanations of Ra, relates to the saga of the Jewish peoples. In brief it suggests that Confederation entity Yahweh, meaning "he comes" had established genetic superiority in that people through cloning. Orion entities then influenced these peoples over time, to establish the concept of elitism, which is highly negative. Yahweh then 3,300 years ago began to send positively oriented material, and thereby joined against forces of darkness in the battle of Armageddon. While this material does exceed the threshold for some, however one must consider that at the time of Revelations writing, visions were considered credible. One must consider that all things measurable are transient and things spiritual are not empirical. And of course this bit of story has no origin in nor is lent authority from freemasonry. If one accepts the possibility of unseen forces serving the polar opposites, this then is a fine example of how over time, a primary method of influencing men is through unconscious communication, which does not abrogate the law of freewill.

1848 A Great Pyramid Step Forward

So the Washington monument was started in 1848, european waves of further liberation, the communist manifesto written, the feudal system in Russia ended, revolutions in Brasil, and elsewhere, the nearing end of slavery in Guatama. A rising tide of the common man against elitist political rule continued what was started in America. Some of these revolutions were put down or were found to be unsustainable, still a new consciousness was rising in the common man against the ruling Hierarchy. Today if we look where monarchies and theocracies still reign, we see oppression of women and a low standards of living for those living in fear and domination in dark societies, where the creative force of humankind is not unleashed by freedom.

The Athanor of Alchemy, Know Thyself

The Athanor of Alchemy. Know Thyself. Dross, gold and fire, purifying the metal of the soul. Divesting ourselves of the vices and superfluities of life, to fit ourselves as living stone for the builders use. The Logos' Plan is designed to give catalyst to the freewill experience, that is like fire and air for the forgers furnace, the metaphysical athanor. Through the choices we make and the consequences we encounter, by freewill, the metal of our soul becomes purified and the grade of the polarized soul in service to self or others is established. And Faith, the necessary element is found or not. Interesting, that scientific man has the tools and manuscripts to understand the philosophies of the ancients, combined with many new sources coming to us. Still it is very difficult for us to discern truth in this world,especially if we dont realize that our inability to prove Diety is a condition required for the leap of faith to occur. If it were easy we would probably reject it. They say that truth is simple but that man is complex. The more empirical we are, the easier it is to think we are separate from All That Is. The source of all distortion is the limit of the viewpoint. So it is the limited mind, which discounts the potentials of the spiritual Plan of Logos and its unseen potentials.

The Masonic Chequered/Checkerboard Floor

The allegorical teaching of the black and white chessboard floor in masonic lodges hearkens back to the free will choice that we all make on whether we will serve the principle of selfishness or selflessness, separation or unity, darkness or light. The black and white mosaic flooring is a long standing mystical symbol, the square shape representing the physical world, as opposed to the circle representing spirit. As the laws of physics are founded on the spiritual law, and require balanced electrical polarity to exist and for work to occur, so too the spiritual in the free will creation. The checkerboard is therefore emblematic of the free will choice of service in the balanced and polarized world. Free will is one of the primary laws of this world, it is a noteworthy achievement that Freemasonry has preserved the teaching of polarization, which emphasizes the seekers path of service. The daily choices that one makes are shaded towards either the selfish or selfless service in intent and in effect. As one moves toward either egoistic or altruistic pole, through belief, imagination and desire; the intentions and choices cause experience, which in turn draws on more catalyst, and so over time the purity of the metal of the soul is established. If one has conflicts: intending say ...benevolence but then acting maliciously..one will ineffectively keep bumping up against the same wall of confusion and stagnation. The free will density offers choice on a balanced field for the entity to gain, lose or be unchanged through self determination. The checkered floor is also analogous to the shepherds embrace, arms crossing the chest, signifying the choice, to serve either the right handed path, ankh of sacrifice in hand or that of the other hand, the path which pulls us to the illusion of separation, and control over others. It too is reminiscent of the two pillars to the temple, now known as Jachin and Boaz, strength and establishment, as all who remember the middle chamber long form can attest to, but anciently oft referring to the potentials of the mind in a polarized state. It has been said that a man can not serve two masters, and so it is, to establish a suitable grade within the confines here, one must choose to move upon the squares of darkness or light. The Creator turns from neither, as in reality, beyond the illusion, all is truelly One.

The Boss

The preparation of candidates in the anteroom is a time for introspection, the Sarcophagus. 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 phi. The entire rest of The Great Pyramid is of limestone. The only possible design which embodies both Pi and the golden section. With its outer angle set at 51 degrees ascending passage 26. 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, that ascension of mankind, 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, check out The Geometry of Art and Life by Ghyka and the triple test of the antechamber suggests that successfully reaching harvest, or graduation from this plane of existence, is no easy passage. That they all may be as one, that long held dream for the children of the earth. Then again, 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 Chamber is almost unattainable when considering the multitudes of souls who have led lives here. The suggested portcullis 3 and the granite leaf with the single ornament of the edifice, the Boss. That high demand for a chance to incarnate into a planet near harvest, as our supposedly is, some say, 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, JHShVH even noted how difficult it was for Him to maintain His own grade of purity. the Infinite Intelligence, clicking through the probabilities. Separation is illusion and the device of that which is not.

The Gothic Ahura Mazda

The six qualities of Ahura Mazda found in the Gathas (wonder if thats the source of Gothic) of the Zarathustrains are sublime mind( wisdom), sublime righteousness (universal justice), Khshatra (holy good) , Universal love (tranquility and benevolence), Perfection (benevolent creativity), Immortality (no beginning, no end).

Lodge and Fraternal Revitalization

Brothers, Freemasonry has many beautiful buildings which require great upkeep. We also have a need for brothers to travel and get to know one another outside of their own district and town. I was thinking that the Grand Lodges could coordinate work days where brothers can travel and work together to get these lodges looking great. The Committee for Community Action in Connecticut is given a mandate each year to work on certain projects but is always encouraged to bring new ideas to the fore. The Committee on Masonic Awareness also can benefit from such an effort. When you visit a lodge that is so obviously historic and wonderful, it makes you appreciate the craft even more. Many of these buildings are in towns where the craft was more popular and wealthy in times past. When visiting brethren come to that great masonic edifice for the first time and show their appreciation it makes one look anew at our Mother Lodges, with greather love. As we become more inclusive and draw in more diverse brothers, there is a chance that these lodges may become revitalized.

1.618 the golden mean, by square and by compasses

The Pythagorians in Sicily used the pentagram as a mode of recognition, and the proportion of the golden section is inherent in it. Its use is the foundation canon for much sacred architecture, from the Great Pyramid to the Gothic churches. Nature exhibits the golden section in organic life, from the sunflower to the nautilus, to the proportions of the human; measure the navel to the feet and the head to the feet. It became associated with the occult, and it was kept also secret for stone tradecraft. The only tools required to make the golden proportion are the square and compasses, which are the emblems of Freemasonry. The capital letter G also happens to look remarkably like the spiral created by its proportion. The foundation of phi in the science of operative masonry is undeniable, and that speculative masons did not use these canons is notable. In Freemasonry the science of math and the standard of morality are married. If you look in Mackey's exhaustive work, you will not find reference to the golden mean. It was either lost or omitted. The physical creation vortices along gnomonic geometric matrix. Intelligent energy informed by love and freewill is still that which turns darkness to light and ever outward in greater circles from the organic central sun of consciousness. And then the the myth of the eternal return.
