Life is but a journey …. from Darkness to Light. We are born from darkness into the light. We are born not consciously knowing the world of which we have been thrust into, the journey of which we are starting. We absorb. And many of us search for the Light of knowledge, of understanding, of why we are here. My journey has been on journey, following numerous paths, in search of the light. What have I found? That my friend is the ‘secret’ of which so many refer to when they speak of mystery schools, including one viewed as a fraternity.
What is this site about? It’s about my interests. It’s about what I am seeing in the world around me and the opinions and concerns I have. I am not seeking validation for my thoughts, this is just a place to get this shit out of my head, for me to rant, and then shake my head at the number of people who either agree or disagree with me and are forward enough to comment. No, there are no comments allowed in most of the articles you’ll find here, if you want to share your thought, then you can hit the email I’ve covertly listed above.
I am going to be including a number of educational documents defining Freemasonry, and talking about the fraternity / ideology. All of the information I am going to be sharing is easily accessible from public sources on the Internet. Nothing I am going to share will disclose the rituals, or means of identification of a Freemason … at any level. But let’s face facts, I promised to safeguard the secrets of Freemasonry, and most of those secrets are not something that I could easily explain as they are about how Freemasonry touches me as a person and not the rituals, rites, handshakes or passords that have already been published by others.
Once again the world is getting dangerous out there. Crime is on the rise. Murders are on the rise. Teen violence is increasing. The need for personal protection is once again becomeing a major concern of many people. The problem is, people will go out and purchase a handgun for personal protection, but they won’t take the time to learn the laws regarding carrying and the use of their weapon. So, again, I am going to post new articles on firearm related issues so that maybe a few more people will get their heads out of the asses and become responsible gun owners.
Second Amendment Supporter
“Good gun control is hitting what you aim at…”
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
But with gun ownership comes responsibility. Gun owners should have a strong working knowledge of Firearms Safety and how to properly and safely use each firearm they own or handle. Each gun owner should have the means to properly secure their firearms so that they do not fall into the wrong hands and get used for criminal purposes. Each person who owns a firearm should known the laws and penalties regarding the use of firearms.
I highly recommend that anyone who ‘concealed’ or ‘open carry’ a handgun have insurance to cover legal fees and any liability that may result in the use of a firearm to defend self or others.
Freemasonry
Freemasonry is an interesting ideology. it is not a religion. It is nestled in the Judaic teachings from the era of the builidng of King Solomon’s tempe, but it does not promote any one particular spiritual belief or religious doctrine. All that is required of membership is a belief in a Higher Being, a Supreme Being, the Great Architech of the Universe, God, and yes, even Goddess. All that is required is that your belief in this highter being encourages you to be a better person with your fellow beings. No Atheist.
I am currently demit from the Masonic Fraternity. I demit from the Masonic Fraternity around 2004 due to personal reasons. It was originally my intention to one day return to the Fraternity, but after over twenty years it is very unlikely that I will return. I am a Past Master. I was a Ritual Instructor under the Grand Lodge of Missouri. I was a member of the Scottish Rite. And I am proud to say that I personally walked all three of my Blue Lodge degrees, no “Chance to Advance” class for me, and I returned all three proficiencies. I take my obligation seriously, even at my current status. I will not share information I am obligated to restrict.
The Grand Lodge of Missouri continues to pursue an agenda of designating which religious beliefs are acceptable and which are not. As a member of the 2025 Grand Lodge line stated to an acquaintance of mine, they are trying to drive Satanism away from Freemasonry. This continues a campaign against those who openly claim to be of the Pagan/Neopagan/Alternative spiritual paths. This spits in the face of the widely published definition of “belief in deity” which does not prescribe a particular religious path but leaves the concept of deity to the individual. This agenda was sparked by, and is continued by a leadership who is working to judge what is acceptable based on their Christian beliefs and agendas.
“My Hypocrisy Only Goes So Far”
It needs to be understood that this practice is not fraternity wide. There are other Grand Lodge jurisdictions of which do not disqualify candidates because of their ‘unorthodox’ or ‘alternative’ spiritual beliefs. Then again, there are jurisdictions which are far worse on a variety of matters. If you are interested in Freemasonry, then you need to do your homework, you need to learn about the Fraternity, about the nature of the Fraternity and what truly interests you. Then you need to see if the Jurisdiction and Lodge you are considering is compatible with your life and interests. For an organization that teaches that we should all meet on the level, there are some extremely judgemental men in Freemasonry.
Yes, the Square and Compass are upside down on the cutout of Missouri. It was intended that way … the graphic original work I call “clandestine”.
