Although one post for an entire book may not seem much, knowing the true instead of fabricated origins of the Masons is a vital part of debunking the conspiracies that revolve around them.
I’m now interested in looking at the nature and purpose of Masonic organizations, the idea of secrecy, and Masonic rites. I’ll likely have a separate post on each of them.
I have started ** you do not have permission to see this link ** which I am hoping will give me some of the answers I’m looking for.
Here is your Latin Lesson for the day-
The word Conspiracy derives from the Latin word conspirare which literally means “to breathe together” (con- meaning “together” plus spirare – meaning “to breathe”).
What a lovely image! A group of people breathing together. A conspiracy!
ps: I can see that any proper book on the subject of the Holy Spirit must contain a long meditation on the significance of breath.
pps: Sorry I’m rambling but does it occur to anyone else that Religion is simply the greatest of all conspiracy theories?
I’m getting a sense of whispering. Secrets and prayers, if I may.
I loved the above.
Of the three areas I’m going to be looking into secrecy is perhaps the most interesting to me.
From what I can gather so far, the secrets of the Masons were never all that secret. Of course, I’m talking about the real ones and not those that are the figment of overly active imaginations.
And, of course, ** you do not have permission to see this link ** isn’t necessarily bad.
I came across this passage in ** you do not have permission to see this link ** I’m reading now that highlights what I said in an earlier post about the way in which they constructed their past:
Masons were so confident of their place in the eternal order that they thought themselves custodians of a wisdom that dated back to the start of the world in 4000 BCE…anyone in history who built anything vaguely memorable was, by that very fact, a Freemason. The Emperor Augustus, for example, was ‘rationally believ’d’ to be ‘the Grand-Master of the Lodge at Rome’. Naturally enough, this invented Masonic tradition found its high point in the building of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem, and has carried on virtually unbroken until the present day.

Thanks Robert. For me the photos are enough.
Yeah, truly. Those churches I saw in Amsterdam and Brussels when I was over there in 2015. Man oh man, who needs drugs?
ps: Not to mention the guild-halls in the ** you do not have permission to see this link **. Just, wow!
If one does a search on the author of the article, Adeyemi Akande, one finds many, many interesting things.
These are just a few:

“Architecture is an effective organ for the reflection of both cultural and religious thoughts.”
All I can say to that is…amen!
Ya’ll reminded of some stuff I saw awhile back.

Allow me to recommend that if you’re at all interested in art and photography, ancient and modern, you should bookmark the ** you do not have permission to see this link ** website.
Great links.
Those photos of Peter Li are absolutely mind-blowing.
As you said, certain architecture can take you places without the help of drugs.
I was looking about for articles on how architecture expresses religious thought and although I found quite a few, I’ve only managed to skim through some of them. Once I do read them, perhaps I’ll start a thread on Architecture and the Sacred. It’s certainly a fascinating subject.
