Very interesting story..

Can I see a picture of your house/garden? Not that I don't believe you, but it would be nice to have confirmation and to simply see how nice it is.

I am not sure I want to post pictures of the building and the grounds at this time, I am most certain I would be over-stepping my authority to do so for whatever the reason. I can show you the dining room where I get the sense of a church-like setting; outside it is really a Spanish/Italian influence.

and this is me in the upstairs game room, behind me and beyond is the courtyard and pool and then the expanse of the desert for miles and miles to the West.

At least some of you do, I know, because emsed1 is always mentioning it, have a copy of the 'accepted' books of the Bible, present and open, at your, whatever it is that you do, dos.

Which could also mean having the Torah or Koran. I am sure we do not have to discuss Jesus in relation to those two holy books.

Jesus, the one I've read about, didn't shut the door on his sisters when he was teaching.

Tis all I was saying.

Women are free to start a sorority.

Excellent point again my friend. Thank you for bringing it up.

I do so frequently, but you at least almost got it. AugustusMasonicus never has, probably never will. I'm not though, in the conversion business.

Groucho Marx said, at the height of racial segregation in Hollywood, that he wouldn't join any club that'd have him as a member.

Great profundity is often accompanied by humour.

Neither am I my friend. We are just sharing information. That is all we can do.



With Love,

Your Brother

The only thing I seem to take away from your posts is that you are not particularly found of the institution of Masonry. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am not trying to convince you to like it, personally I do not care if some persons do or do not. I enjoy what I am able to do as a member and that is what matters to me most.

Good for Groucho. That worked for him just fine. On the other hand, his older brother Harpo had no issue becoming a Mason.

He didn't have any problem illegally transporting documents out of Russia for the United States government either. Guess they weren't 'Brothers' so it posed no 'moral' dilemma, FDR was and he did the asking. Sooooo....

By the by, as has been endlessly explained by your fraternity on these very boards, Freemasonry rarely discriminates against those of the Judiac persuasion, and does not exclude those individuals from membership, Harpo therefore did not break ground by joining something that was open to him. Groucho was cut of a different cloth though. Hollywood was a tough place to be a Jew in those days, they made all the money, brought all the talent and then got told to use the service entrance. It depends upon what you want out of life, and what life you want. Groucho didn't like being told what he could and couldn't do. I can relate to that. Harpo joined the Freemasons, and you can relate to that.

To each his own.

VERY nice!!! You must be living in or near some New Age community, because that's usually where things like that happen. In Sedona, I once applied for a job I had no qualifications for, and the employer said, "You have a great energy -- you're hired." Only in Sedona...

That said, though, I've found many times in my life that TSHTF was often a blessing in disguise that I would only recognize in hindsight... for example, losing a job (I didn't like but thought I really needed) under very unpleasant circumstances, only to get a much better one soon after. You know, those kinds of things. That's why I always involve God/Spirit/the Universe in my -- usually very successful -- manifestations, because they know things that I don't and can't know. You did very well for yourself there; enjoy your little paradise and don't forget the gratitude -- every day.
