NO PROPHETS-JUST SENSE

But it is a melancholy of my own, compounded by many simples,extracted from many objects and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in the most humourless sadness.   As You Like It Wm Shakespeare

Even though you are may not have opportunity in lodge, you may have needed to talk about expansive ideas. You have wondered what it would be like to explore ideas at your own pace. Let's try that here. If you will accept MasonicFX as a pastiche not to replace but enhance lodge experience between gatherings, then I will ask you a few questions.  First, if your attitude changes, will you admit it (to yourself)? By surrounding yourself with beauty and wisdom, you breathe an atmosphere that will change you as surely as light conquers darkness. Now,at your age, is the preservation and enhancement of your life too frivolous to take seriously? After life metres out peity you realize spirituality is occurring by your own measure. This brotherhood cannot complete you but can strive to be an incentive to cover the chamber with inspiration as graffiti and open the door of your mind as you enter. Nothing else. The clamour at the door? that's not an indictment of our speculations. It is a reflection of the human condition. We are the continuance of an ancient Brotherhood. Our lessons require understanding  and aquiring a vocabulary to communicate using a language of symbols and ritual, a blend of inspiration, experience and contemplation.  I know except for in the rashness of youth,applying ideas like enlightenment and wisdom can be daunting. To overcome that natural reaction requires prerequisite humility, self-discipline and self-respect. Even as you progress, ask your questions again and again. And together we will listen for changes as time  and discovery deepens understanding.
