Simple question: How is it possible that Freemasons [b]KNOW[/b] that the [u]secret[/u] degrees above them are [b]GOOD[/b] and that Freemasonry is a [u]good society overall[/u]? (According to my experience and research there are many Masons who would say exactly what that what the guy I spoke to said.) My opinion is that you don't know what anything is above you in Freemasonry until you get there because it's a secret! That's simple logic that's irrefutable. [/quote] There are a number of related organizations which have as a prerequisite to joining that one be a Master Mason. It's in these related organizations where the nefarious things happen. [/quote] So you're an actual 33rd degree Mason then? [/quote] No. There are no Masonic secrets these days. Anything you want to know can be found online. You can read their own texts. Masonic lodges have web sites. You can also find testimonies of former Masons. Master Masons have opportunities to further their studies in appendant degrees or in other organizations in such subjects as: comparative mythology, comparative religion, spiritual alchemy, necromancy, goetic evocation, enochian evocation, hermetic qabala, magnetism, etc. [/quote] You don't know for sure until you get there, end of story. This was written by a Masonic writer: Freemasonry is labyrinthine. It is full of puzzles, conundrums, misspellings, corruptions, cryptic clues, and simple salutes, childish codes, contrivances, circular paths, roads that sometimes lead nowhere, walls appearing to be ten feet thick yet giving way easily to the lightest touch in the right spot, riddles to be solved, numerous passwords, an allegorical, highly symbolical, double-entendre storyline worthy of the best latter-day spy writers, protected by secret signs and symbols and a myriad of enigmas to be confronted…In the labyrinth that is Freemasonry there is a center where rests its holy grail. Many have tried to find it only to reach dead ends - Leon Davin (The Ritual: The Greatest Story Never Told) http://taroscopes.com/highwindowsarticles/shiva.html [/quote] Why would you ask a question when you are so certain of your own answer? What are YOU looking for? [/quote]

Simple question:
How is it possible that Freemasons
KNOW
that the
secret
degrees above them are
GOOD
and that Freemasonry is a
good society overall
? (According to my experience and research there are many Masons who would say exactly what that what the guy I spoke to said.)
My opinion is that you don't know what anything is above you in Freemasonry until you get there because it's a secret! That's simple logic that's irrefutable.
