The Craft is a learning opportunity. The grail we all aspire toward, some level of transformation to a better person is unclear, as is the way one achieves it. As you will find, this is not a short-cut. It is a thought map designed to shape behaviour. I"m inclined to think it places us in an atmosphere of arguments about truth. There is room at this table for one more. A new language, emphasis on control of emotion, it is more like finishing school that combat training. MasonicFX is simply and extension of that. An acquired taste where conversation is about possibilities. Sit in as you like. We stumble along, still trying to find the edge of this interesting universe!

Upcoming Broadcasts

Where are those beautiful experiments that gain results? Are we so naive to be unable to appreciate the central purpose of science, replicating successful experiments? So naive or so isolated that we cannot replicate beautiful results? The paradigm of freemasonry is shifting as it does, without asking for the authority to act. It's happening right now where I am, following threads of ideas that go back hundreds of years. If I said to you, when you pick up a brush and paint, you are making a statement, what would you say? If I said, a man had poetry inside, would you quietly move away,as we tend to do when we don't know what good manners suggest? Masonry has idealism and reality carrying it forward. That alone is enough to fuel tensions and conflict. What is also interesting, is the fact masonry is unable to achieve stasis. It is constantly in motion, just as we are. Those combinations of ideas that occur to you are always worth sharing. We like a good story, especiallly one qualified with enough fact to flatter the audience.
