I agree 100%. Now the fun part will be deciding if what you're assuming are Masonic references are, in fact, just mathematical references.

There are quite a few meanings atributed to the column and checkered floor symbology . But one of practical purpose of the columns and checkered floor was to measure solstice times by observing the shadow that was cast .
No Masonic columns, just urns.

Really? I try to engage in intelligent discussion and you give me a YouTube video that's full of crap. Nevermind. I thought you were here to try to learn something.

Then teach.
It most certainly is not.
The masonic connection to the Alice Stories is pretty clear.
Yes, of course they are.
The masons are also tied to the mysteries as well.
You actually made it through Morals & Dogma several times? My hat goes off to you. There's great stuff in there, but it's a pretty dense read.
I can't help but know this by reading Albert Pikes book several times.
I'd disagree there. Know thyself really isn't that hard if you're willing to put the effort into it.
What the Masons are and what they wish people to see are two different things. Then again, what the Masons know about themselves is only by association to their position within their own organization.

Yes...... You've figured it out!!!
The Annie reference is talking about a secret Masonic lodge in Hawaii! They serve free Mai Thais, and piña coladas on the rocks!
I mean they serve sweet tea and orange juice..... Hehehe.edit on 11-2-2012 by W3RLIED2 because: Poor DUDE

I'm going to open myself up to be disappointed, but what in Morals and Dogma led you to the trippy mushroom reference? Some of the esoteric mysteries certainly involve trance like states or meditative practices. But modern freemasonry doesn't contain any reference to trippy mushrooms, at least from my own understanding.
It does however allude to shamanism, and certainly alchemy.edit on 12-2-2012 by W3RLIED2 because: Sp

Shamanism is directly linked to the western esoteric tradition, as is alchemy. If you read the book, The Forbidden Universe by Clive Prince, the entire history of the societies is outlined from beginning to end. The connection is always hanging on the desire to reform the Catholic Church with a Hermetic renascence. The Jesuits were formed as a resistance to this movement. Bruno was executed by the inquisition, which pushed the movement underground. All the key figures in science, literature and government that have had a connection to the societies have also been after this esoteric western tradition of hidden knowledge. The book does a good job of outlining the history and motivation behind the tradition.
A good resource for this online are the podcasts put out by the Golden Dawn and lodges around the country.
In a nutshell, Freemasonry is Theurgy.
Read my most recent articles and you can see the motivation behind ritual magic and corruption in high places. There is a history behind this that originates with Enoch, who is likely the source for Thoth and Hermes.

You mentioned "Thoth" Isnt he the one who wrote the "Emerald Tablets" And if I understand correctly all free mason "Hidden knowledge" is just Illuminati knowledge. Which is just another replica of "Akhenaten's Mystery School"
I dunno. It lines up though
