Most of the people here are obviously a bunch of posers, if you read and understood basics of philosophy and the soul, you would realize you can't "sell" your soul, it doesn't belong to you to begin with. Please, read some books and then try to think about what you read. About the original message, whilst it's true many things are no good (for example, why keep secrecy if you are meant to bring light), there are some basic principles taught in freemasonry, like not being an A class asshole like your uncle, "We should sympathetic to our brother masons and to all mankind as well". I could cite some others.
