Bro. Terry, in light of your recent talk, the linked article may be of particular interest to you.
Many modern Freemasons have come to the organization in search of certain deep mystical and spiritual truths. More often than not they find only a group of old men who have memorized the Masonic ritual and know little about Masonry. Most of these new Masons simply leave and never return, but a few stick around and continue to search for the “lost secrets.” This is no small task indeed as the secrets lie hidden away in the remote past and most of the old Masons are upset when these “seekers” go digging around for them. Another obstacle faced by the seekers is the fact that the ritual itself has been corrupted over time by men who knew little or nothing about the intent of the founders of the fraternity. Starting with an incoherent set of rituals and symbols they begin their search only to be led down one tangent after another while realizing that none of them seem to be connected in any logical way.
The vital importance of these secrets to 21st century civilization cannot and should not be underestimated. They may ultimately prove to be the key to saving mankind from total extinction. This short talk is meant to shed a little “Light” on the darkness that has fallen like a veil around modern Masonry, and to help Freemasonry recover what it has lost over the centuries.
