Speaking of ignorant .. the place is called Timbuctu, not ten buck two. As
it's in the middle of the Sahara Desert, I really doubt there are wheat
fields there.
Speaking of closed minds.. are you going to listen to Masons here or
continue with your foolish connections you've prejudged to be true?

----
Esotericists like myself recognize that Freemasonry has esoteric content,
and that men with esoteric interests helped shape the ritual. However, that
is far, far different than saying that Freemasonry is esoteric in nature.
Clearly it is not, and one need have not the slightest interest in
esoterica to find value and meaning in the Craft and its ritual.

No, it's just another example of the Keith Word Association Game. You see a
word and it makes you think of another word. Then you rush to a search
engine and post a URL on the new word. Then you insist they're connected and
pout like a child when people ridicule your simplistic conclusion.

Who's ignorant? Those of us who know how to use a newsreader? Those of us
who know how to spell? Who know how to use proper punctuation? Who can put
sentences together to make sense? Those of us who can have a conversation
without jumping from topic to topic?
Non Anal, *we* are not ignorant. *We* have been trying to answer your
questions for ten years, and you keep insisting that you know more than we
do. Think about that for a bit - we have not agreed with anything that
you've posted in ten years, we poke fun at your nonsensical websites and
howl at the non sequiters that you come up with. You can't even tell the
difference between parody and research. You often don't even read the
websites that you point out, and when ou do, you miss the point entirely.
Remember last week when you tried to post something about "the mother of all
religions" and the quote was not even *in* the website? That was a
thigh-slapper.
Ignorance is "not knowing." Take a good look in the mirror, Non Anal.

You forgot to see "a new tangent" By the way there is a lot of
information on Rosicrucian's and ufo's but then that's off topic but
Freemasons do dabble in the occult and mystic subjects.The OTO and The

I am not anyone, neither are you.
You are one of the Masons who are routinely interested in somebody's
mental health. And I would like to know why?
It could be fun if you would describe it in your own words.

That was never in question, Keith. Masonic symbolism is highly
esoteric in nature -- BUT do you fully understand what the word
"esoteric" means?
It does NOT mean "magickal" or "new age" or anything of the sort.
ESOTERIC means nothing other than "particular or private or meaningful
to one particular group to the exclusion of others."
The Apron is an esoteric symbol - I don't know of any group that uses
the Apron the same way for the same purposes as the Masons. However,
it is not mystical or magickal or secret. There have been many
discussions here on what the Apron means, you see?
The Boy Scouts have esoteric symbolism. The Church has esoteric
symbolism. Almost every organization has symbolism which is
meaningful to them, and only them, for their own purposes. That is
what "esoteric" means.
The emoticon, or typed smiley-face, is esoteric symbolism. It is
used and useful only to a particular group -- people who communicate
over the Internet. It's quite a large group, but to anyone who does
NOT communicate over the Net, the :-> or the ; - P will have no
meaning whatever. It's esoteric.
When the author of that webpage states that he is discussing the
esoteric symbolism of Washington's Apron, he is only stating that he
is discussing it from the point of view of a Mason; the same symbols
may mean other things to other people, but he was discussing it from
one particular viewpoint -- that is, esoterically.
These questions answer themselves when you actually try to understand
all the words, Keith.

Crops Circles are a interesting subject on geometry plus they are
sublime in nature so that's two hits close to Freemasonry! Just because you
think they are kooky and anyone who post anything on them here is kooky is

Freemasonry is simply a dining society. It cooks pancakes so that
youth groups can publish magazines that require lodges to buy adds.
There is no room for any of this "symbolism" crap.
"Freemasonry is a peculiar system of morality veiled in allegory and
illustrated by symbols."
But the symbols mean exactly what the ritual says they mean. They
have no connection, either directly or indirectly, with any
philosophical system that ever existed on the planet. It just sprang
free-form and independently out of London in 1717 fully formed and
intact just as it has been handed down today.
Oh wait a minute. They didn't confer the third degree in 1717? Oh,
it didn't even exist in 1717? Hmmm...then it was an innovation! It
must be removed, because it is not part of Freemasonry.
All Masonic symbols are emblematic. They mean exactly what your Lodge
Education Officer says they mean. He thinks they mean exactly what
the ritual says they mean. There is no need to go doing all that
"thinking" stuff. All the "thinking" has been done for you. It is
easy, just sign the dotted line and pay your dues. That is all we
ask. Oh, and give to the Grand Masters annual capital campaign.
Freemasonry is not esoteric; it is emblematic.
Masons do not have the capcity to think on their own; they believe
what they are told.

(Then) ain't going to happen. Are you just dense or what? Now go
start claiming he won't answer and try to discredit my character before
all.It ain't going to work and who ever is with you now on this train of
defamation is still with you but I doubt seriously it will change anybody
else's mind who is neutral.
So answer yes or no are you dense or just plain stupid?

You won't answer.
OK. I'm dense or stupid. Do you carry a mental health diagnosis?

Which is why people ask if you have a mental health diagnosis. Maybe
there is a reason you won't answer the question.
Are you on public benefits?

P.S. It seems to me it is more to distract you from posting and
to get you on defensive side...worse, it seems to be working..why not
ignore it and move on?
Easy said than done? Don't worry, we are all getting in their games
from time to time.

Yes, you said his postings are bizarre so you don't only ask
you imply that he actually might have mental problem and in your last
post you suggest he might live on social benefits.
Just to inform you, this game has already been played here to discourage
people with whom masons disagree from posting.
It does not work, so get over it.
dinn...@hotmail.co.uk
And he can deny.
Didn't say I disagreed.
Nope.Not over it.

Didn't imply a mental problem by asking, anymore than he implied one
by failing to answer if he had a mental health diagnosis.

Why on earth would you think that crop circles are "sublime"? That
certainly fits the definition of kooky.

Mr. Johnson, there are countless shapes made by man and nature that
are an "interesting subject on geometry", and there are countless
objects and concepts that are sublime in nature. Are you trying to
suggest that this makes all those things Masonic?
You really need to step back and look at the bigger picture,. Mr.
Johnson.

No, Mr. Johnson, the discussion of crop circles in a crop circle-
related newsgroup is not kooky, nor is the discussion of geometry in a
geometry-related newsgroup. And exploring the sublime nature of
anything is a fine hobby.
But, discussing them here, where the topic is Freemasonry is kooky.
Assuming as you do that because geometry is used to describe crop
circles and it happens to be one of the seven arts and sciences
Freemasons are encouraged to study, crop circle are Masonic is, to be
quite honest, kooky.
