We don't worship Satan I am Christian and the Scottish rite of the 32 degree said we didnt and exposed

@@countryboygamer223 Yes you do. You just don’t know it.

​@@eternalwordofgod But YOU, a non-mason, knows more than a 32⁰ mason. Ok. What color is the sky in your world?

Satan is not real. Freemasonry is not an oath to a fictional deity. Grow up.

Certainly bickering and such shouldn't be happening, but where someone is in their career has nothing to do with whether or not they are worthy to become a Mason or not. In many cases, the types you are describing greatly benefit from networking with brothers and may be presented with better opportunities. It's not very polite to judge people by assuming they are "extremely low caliber" it's quite demeaning. If these are your thoughts then you are right, it is not for you.

I'm afraid I did experience some behavior which I believed unbecoming of a Freemason and which contributed to my decision to leave.

@@ohfreemason I don’t see how that’s demeaning if it’s factual, I’d say it’s more demeaning to ask for a membership fee (although it may contribute to charity) when large proportions of masons within the lodge need charity themselves.

@@southwest3369 You don't think it's demeaning to describe people, whom you do not know (only by briefly meeting them at an event) as extremely low caliber? That's the epitome of being demeaning toward someone. Unless you're not being forthcoming about what you described, and you've done more than attend public events and have personally got to know people and spent time with them, how would you conclude they are of extremely low caliber?

@@ohfreemason vulgar language with the inclusion of crude inappropriate jokes referring to sexual acts around women, some of the more elderly members made racist remarks once or twice at the committee meeting when one mason was describing his ex military career, the individuals that I met were almost half pissed they all seem to indulge in high volumes of Guinness beer after most business they conduct. Addressing your other point, it’s seems a bit strange to refer to an individual as the worshipful master & effectively be his servant until you rise through the degrees when that individual doesn’t live or abide by Masonic principles as measurable by the individuals life. My grandad was a MM, either one of two things have happened the fraternity has a serious internal problem or it’s desperate to attract new members due to low membership density thus lowering the bar in candidates they pursue.

You've been listening to coo-coo conspiracy theories.

@@RFC72 you mean the one 33* freemason albert pike wrote in his 1871 book morals and dogma on page 321 where he admits that freemasons worship lucifer? they worship lucifer. its fact. not "conspiracy theory", hiram.

lucifer is the WRONG direction

@@SirSquash Oh shut up.

@@BetrayingLight hey i didnt take an oath to be silent. you did. truth hurts.

@@SirSquash You know nothing. Sad indoctrinated deluded fool.

*LUCIFER IS NOT THE CREATOR*

Please answer this. Who is our "creator"?

@@bye92 The grand architect.

@@SirSquash Stop living in conspiracy fairytale land.

Greetings from Indiana, potential future Brother. I am a member of three Lodges and am open to any questions you may have, if you have any. If not, good luck, and I wish you the best upon your entrance into Freemasonry. Take care sir.

Many thanks for your comment, in which you ask some sensible and thought provoking questions. I'll be posting more videos as I go through the process but I'm grateful for your interest.

@@andrewbiggins9404 Peace and blessings to you Andrew.

One thing i have noticed about Islam is a clear distinction between “the system” and “the man”. In islam the man has agency and it is respected by God til a given hour, the judgment day. The third entity, “satan” in Islam is not an anti-God entity. Meaning, satan is not someone at war with God, satan is at war with the creation of God, us humans. It is mentioned many times in Quran (e.g., Chapter 2 verse 30, and this dialogue is also referred to in other chapters in more detail) where when God presented Man to angles and others, as a creation that was meant to be superior to them, the angles and others present questioned the obvious vulnerabilities (I understand them as materialistic requirements) in Man. God then told them that God is not only creating “the -obviously vulnerable- Man”, God is also creating “A System’, and as long as the Man will live/operate by that system it will overcome its vulnerabilities/ or be able to sustainably full-fill its requirements. Satan at this point refuses to accept the superiority of Man and respectfully asks God for time to prove his point that Man will easily be swayed away/or will walk away from the system due to his vulnerabilities / materialistic requirements. In other words Hedonism will trump The System. Now the point you raised about countries where “Islam is the dominating religious and political force”. I will highlight the point that a country where the population is predominantly Muslim does not automatically become Islamic. Keep the distinction between The System and The Man in mind here. For a country to be “Islamic” The System has to be implemented. If you ask Muslims that if they could name a true Islamic country anywhere in the world? majority will tell you that there isn’t one. And that it certainly is not ISIS controlled area or Iran or Saudi Arabia, or to some extent even Afghanistan. You will be surprised that many will even tell you that the true ISLAMIC country will, in many ways look like a “Western Socialist leaning Democracy”, with a real democracy, rule of law and social justice. In addition to that the Islamic society will be characterised by a massive emphasis on maintaining family structure in recognition that a family is the basic building block of a society. It is the reason that many Western projects (countries) have succeeded cause they have implemented some aspects of The System. Finally, it’s important that you understand Islam as an emancipating philosophy and certainly not as an ideological shackle.

@@ianbradshaw1770 what do you mean?

Maybe to yhe outsiders and nobody's within 5..6 million members the ones who are holding power within the to LP power structure...not a lot at all..33 degrees is just the start..You need to be a 33rd degree mason to start the Shriners...all in all it goes to 99 or 100 Mason..Shriners..Scottish Right..ect ect

Unfortunately it's all so very real 14 Presidents... Washington DC filled with TONS of influence..streets ..owl shape...so many the distances 666..obelisk there's a ton

Then it is clearly not for you. And that is okay.

there really is no difference other than geological. they all worship lucifer. there is NO SATANIST that IS NOT A MASON AS WELL.

How are you a square if your body is a hexagram six point star shape.... talk about disseminating wisdom lol and im not looking for a response.... yall trailling behind mens ass for knowledge when all wisdom is encoded in natures designs... ntr is the creative forces technological result... but yall cant see past a mans brains and ass !!! As if man put the sun and moon up

Thank you for your comments, which are appreciated. Have you studied with Master Anatole?

​@@andrewbiggins9404 You must not have read the acknowledgements. Nobody does. :-) Over 30 years.

@@NankaNemo Are you aware of any similar Taoist teaching in the UK?

@@andrewbiggins9404 No. Hate to break it to you , but the vast majority of "Taoist" teachers are not from a lineage, and academics is, well, academics. Master Anatole comes from the Liu lineage -one of the two original lineages. There are actually podcasts on KZbin from the Center of Traditional Taoist Studies.

@@andrewbiggins9404 btw...we're working on the final publication. A complete lineage interpretation of the TTC. It will incorporate all 81 verses, not just the 25 in Essence. Currently 475 pages.

The headquarters for the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is located in Washington D.C. Heck, George Washington and Andrew Jackson were known Freemasons.

/G\ great response
