STEPPING INTO MASONIC CONSCIOUSNESS

Did we step out from under the rule of religion?  Did we dispose the despot?  Did we create the Republic? Did we fight for freedom?  Wars scar our souls yet we repeat it. Church stains our conscience but what alternative. Is the 21st Century mason being launched by access to information into a new, unforeseen level of insight?  Are the contemplative freemasons becoming as profits of old?

Writers have offered so many opinion pieces, it is difficult to keep up with the flow. The fork in the road is whether we are satisfied by throwing support behind an opinion on symbols or past events or follow the one less traveled, hopeful we can know more and answer more.   One theme is clear.  There are sacred opinions that need to be studied.  How can we determine decline when we can't agree on success?  And if we step back from the noise and the fray and approach our work with common sense, we may have to admit- the goals are neither hidden nor obvious. They are a state of mind.

Let's pull the rocking chair closer to the radio, next to a roaring fire with a cup of tea nearby. I'll bring the cribbage board for an evening about the revelations that answer our questions.  See you soon.  Graham
