Im curious, do you know why geometry works or how it works?

Im asking Bedlam cause of his reference in a broader field..

Other than "because it does", it's hard to understand how to answer that. "why do squares have four sides" and the like are all definitional.

It does get less intuitive when you go to non-Euclidean geometry.

What bodies of freemasonry are you part of?

a reply to: Bedlam

I once read a verse from the bible, i remember it sounded something like this;" You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. But you dont know how to interpret it now. "

I think it was Luke 12:56

What does

I see the six stations of the Lord's order, and they will all burn

refer to?

I recommend this guy: [email protected]

He is highly praised for his esoteric sessions, and I heard he is working with the Supreme Council to develop and deploy a worldwide esoteric network.

Great link, thank you!

sorry I have another question, I've been labelling freemasonry to see what different bodies teach, I found that the American lodges which most of you are in teaches about "brotherly love". I've also noticed that most of you read the symbols/symbolism subjective and not objectively.

If you are taught this way, it is for a reason and I could guess why with a simple answer called human nature.

But the American freemasonry or most freemasonry below 33rd is a spiritual journey within. If someone wanted a higher learning then I believe the American lodges will not teach you that.

I could be wrong, but I've been proved otherwise.
I'm thankful for the links as a pointing arrow, it's a great read from American masons who specialises in a single field and it offers something.

I just wanted to say;" Thank you for your contributions"

"I have another question"

Hello there. I could not find the question within your post.

"most of you read the symbols/symbolism subjective and not objectively."

Have you considered that you may be encountering subjective interpretations, because the objective interpretations are reserved for the fidelity of the Initiated?



What do you find distinguishing and/or conflicting between; "American Freemasonry", "Freemasonry below 33rd", and Freemasonry above 33rd?



What do you think is greater than the spiritual journey within? Wise men throughout time, culture, and religion have urged to; "Know Thyself", while Jesus of Nazareth taught that, "The Kingdom of God is within."

Well, i believe that we all make conclusions based on our life experience, dont get me wrong, its a very elaborate maze that is meant, ( im gonna change the narrative a bit )to keep the metaphysical realm and the materialistic world separated cause of human nature.

I believe like in the last quote;" i believe that we all make conclusions based on our life experience "
You can objectively study the human body and get some clues, but its still not gonna answer your questions, and those questions are usually filled with your own experience.

"Know thyself" is an allegory that has thousands of interpretations, Rene Descartes one of the most influential "modern" Philosophers quoted;

" In order to be true to oneself, you must first know yourself and to concentrate within the self regardless of outside forces.

Authenticity - Wikipedia

It all comes down to a simple question;" Who are you and why do you exist? " The answer is quite simple in Nature, but in a subjective narrative;" I have no idea what anyone thinks "

My question;" How do you make a green line? "

NVM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, could you assist me with the orbital resonance ?

Another question;" Is the AA founded by freemasons? "

Another question, a more specific one;" What are the Pythagorean lodges? "

Oh come on! Is it the silent treatment we started with? Its not like i didnt make the questions obvious, i made them so transparent so even a child can understand the reference.

a reply to: tikbalang

The questions you recently asked can be found through internet searches.

What would you like to know specifically?

I don't know what you mean by 'Pythagorean Lodges', but there are many, many lodges named 'Pythagoras Lodge' or 'Pythagorean Lodge'. It isn't a category, just a name to honor Pythagoras, who is revered by Freemasonry. The Pythagorean Theorem solves the 47th Problem of Euclid.
