Brethren,
I originally wrote a different message for October but after review by some trusted Brethren, who, being more wise and centered than myself, expressed their humble opinion that my original “October 24 Message” might be a little bit too controversial for Grand Lodge and possibly some of the Brethren, as it could be interpreted as political in nature. I personally identify as “Independent”, socially liberal (although I acknowledge that an absurd amount of waste, fraud, and extreme lack of oversight exist in our government) a strong fiscal conservative with, “Libertarian” leanings. I strongly support the “U.S. Constitution” even feeling that the “Second Amendment” falls short of the intentions of the founding fathers. Never was my intention to be political but rather It is my intention to bring up more controversial issues but not so as to offend the Brethren or encroach upon unacceptable norms within the constraints of our beloved Fraternity.
Why introduce controversial issues? Because I believe the world is changing so imperceptibly fast and so cunningly subtle, as to defy detection, that “Truth” is being made more and more irrelevant, blurred, twisted, and contradicted by falsehoods. I believe that we are living in “A Matrix”, a world fabricated to deceive and manipulate us to the will of the ‘Lords of the Unknown Realm’ (Deep State? Elites? Oligarchs? Illuminate? Kabal?). I don’t know who but suspect that these “Lords of the Unknown Realm” are so extremely wealthy, and powerful that they are able to pull the strings of certain puppets in Washington on both sides of the isle, I might add, control the media who program, mold, or sway public opinion on all forms of media whether it be television, print, radio, internet, and social media. As Masons we learn that, “TRUTH IS OUR CENTER”, therefore I believe our duty lies in defense of “TRUTH” and we have been instructed throughout our entire sublime education and by the supreme guidance of the greatest source of Masonic Light, to defend and reveal “Truth” to, at a bear minimum, the Brethren, and, if possible to mankind in general, so far as our ability to give will permit.
I suppose that about now, many of you are saying, or at least be thinking, “That’s it, he’s finally done it, his wheels have slipped his tracks, bonkers, crazy as a Jaybird! Maybe, but to those doubters I say, look to he past. Aristotle said it, democracy can be subverted into a plutocracy, and a plutocracy can lead to Tyranny. It’s a pattern that has repeated, time and time again, throughout history, in Germany, in Russia, in China to name just a few, that I’m sure most Brethren are familiar with. Our strongest defense, again my opinion, is the light of transparency, for all to see. Who was the famous Mason who said, ‘you have a democracy if you can keep it’. Look around, I mean really look around, George Orwell must be turning in his grave. When I read Orwell, fifty years ago, I said to myself, ‘no way would the American people stand for such an infringement on their liberties!’ Apparently not.
Masters’ Message for October 2024 (Blue Pill Version)
Our beautiful Masonic ritual never fails to impress upon us the wonderful tenants of our awesome fraternity. But, to memorize is one thing, to try and live by them is the true test of a man. I try, but many more times than not, fall short of this lofty goal. Yet, try again, should be our constant aspiration. To assist us in this goal, those wise and virtuous founders of the craft gave us the task, “to memorize”. Thus, concepts forever imprinted on our mind, that, we may never lose sight of the true secrets of Freemasonry. Fellowship, the companionship of like minded individuals, to aid in our reformation. Symbols, most impressive, to be a constant reminder of our important duties. What a beautiful system to make good men better.
Peter, WM
