I'm a mason and I'm interested in astral travel and remote viewing. Some masons are interested in those things, others arent. Being a mason isn't a job.

I read a book a couple years ago that claimed Masonic initiation, a man was blindfolded on then swurrounded by swords and that this somehow gave him a near death experience
If it forms the basis of the masonic teachings
then it would also stand to reason that all masons believe in astral projection,
and that their teachings revolve around it don't you think so too?
My mason friend would sometimes talk about near death expiriences, and claimed that your whole life would flash before your eyes
I asked how do you know?

7. Why were you blindfolded, or hoodwinked during the first part of your initiation?
a. To symbolize that I was in a spiritual or Masonic darkness and about to receive instruction or light.
b. As a reminder to keep the outside world in darkness as it pertains to the secret
aspects of Masonry.
c. That my heart should be taught to conceal before my eyes beheld the beauty of
Masonry.
d. If found unworthy, I would be removed without having seen the form of the lodge.
e. All of the above.

Yes, I'm familiar with it thank you, but what's the point?
Uhm, thanks again. Perhaps we can continue this conversation in a few years when you out-grow that silliness.
(which you back up by a link to a Masonic article about symbolic rebirth)
In other words, if something that happened 200 years ago in a Russia lodge somehow gave the recipient a NDE, then it necessarily follows that all freemasons today can astral travel.
You then sing a couple of little songs (out of tune, I might add)
Is that about right?
Masons are just ordinary men with ordinary lives - that are part of an extraordinary fraternity. No special mind powers unfortunately =(
