Other then it being used to symbolize the sun god Ra?

Yes the very essence of it, its true nature

Listen, if you want to play a game of 'gotcha' go play with someone else, if you have something to say, say it.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

you dont know do you, you cant read the pillars, you can understand a symbol here and there, but its like knowing a word in a foreign language, then you change it to fit your purpose.. Its like you are librarians but never understood the books and never read them, hoping someone did and just summarized it for you...

The meaning of it is a fixated point in the night sky

a reply to: Cancil

If you say so. Got a point you are trying to make?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Why are you in freemasonry is my question?

a reply to: Cancil

Self improvement and the ability to give back to my community.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

sounds reasonable, do you?

Hey Masons ...

Seems like you are redundant in this thread "Ask a Mason"

Non Masons seem to know much more about Masons than Masons ... if that makes sense ... which it does not

So all know it all non Masons what is Masonry about ...
What are the great secrets you hint of but fail to back up with anything of substance

LOL don't hold your breath, I've been here twice as long and waiting,
I gave up waiting and became a Freemason my self six years ago.

Now I don't need to wait, I know first hand.
There are some good stories and lots of silly stores about Freemasonry here on ATS.
when it's all said and done, fantasy mixed with reality.
In other words rubbish,

Don't believe me anyone can go to a lodge and have a chat with someone, or better yet they could join, but never do and see for them selves.

while your waiting

One of my favorite Masonic tunes

a reply to: Sauron

Good advice ... I wont hold my breath ... well not until I am dead

Which reminds me ... talking of death ... what is said to be one of the Bavarian Illuminati rituals for novices
That being faced with a Human Skeleton wearing a Kings crown for the novice to contemplate ... which is slightly off at a tangent I know.

I did really enjoy the song and also the imagry

Of course not (Clan affiliations) and why I responded? I was asked 'details' by Network Dude (somewhat perplexing).

Regarding philanthropy; this was a question TzarChasm posed (I merely answered with my personal experience regarding Masons generosity).

Except you are not a Mason so your opinion is irrelevant.

why is that perplexing? I want to know the Scottish Rite Valley in your area. The Scottish Rite Valley that considers bloodlines. If you are full of crap, just say so, we can all laugh and move on. But if you are serious, this is monstrously important as it's nothing at all like what I have been telling people for years. And my only basis for knowledge is the Valley I belong to.

Kind of right though, there is only so much you can do alone, that is why I joined.

You refused to answer Cancil's questions about the 'pillars' (and too/SO much iconography to be mentioned you'd understand in a short paragraph). However, if you are a good student (pay attention) I can help you! with the understanding of these not so difficult 'spiritual' concepts represented in as yet *that* which remains unnamed; for good reason.

Is that not enough? Middle earth/or mining precious metals GOLD (a templar addiction/tradition) is where my Scottish roots come from. AugustusMasonicus dismissed me as being not at all worthy of his Masonic mantle; but I suspect is not Scottish at all *as you say* not important. Think Campbell/McNaughton and where those lands are.

Not large enough given some particular answers here. No grace or affable nature shown in order to trust intent of 'potential good deeds' executed.

a reply to: vethumanbeing

It's almost as if you think the Scottish Rite has significance in Scotland. Do you have any idea about it's history?
