The EssENEs

“…The EssENEs were of the Eclectic Sect of Philosophers, and held PLATO in the highest esteem; they believed that true philos-ophy, the greatest and most salutary gift of God to mortals, was scattered, in various portions, through all the different Sects; and that it was, consequently, the duty of every wise man to gather it from the several quarters where it lay dispersed, and to employ it, thus reunited, in destroying the dominion of impiety and vice.”

Morals and Dogma (page 265)

Reason, the Life and Motion

“God says Pythagoras, “is neither the object of sense, nor subject to passion, but invisible, only intelligible, and supremely intelligent. In His body He is like the light, and in His soul He resembles truth. He is the universal spirit that pervades and dif-fuseth itself over all nature.
All beings receive their life from Him.
There is but one only God, who is not, as some are apt to imagine, seated above the world, beyond the orb of the Universe; but being Himself all in all,
He sees all the beings that fill His immensity; the only Principle, the Light of Heaven, the Father of all. He produces everything; He orders aná disposes every-thing; He is the REASON, the LIFE, and the MoTION of all being.”  “

Morals and Dogma (page 285)

Reason as a Guide

“Then the shadows of a horrible doubt fall upon the soul that would fain love, trust and believe; a darkness, of which this that surrounded you was a symbol. It doubts the truth of Revelation, its own spirituality, the very existence of a beneficent God. It asks itself if it is not idle to hope for any great progress of Humanity toward perfection, and whether, when it advances in one respect, it does not retrogress in some other, by way of compensation: whether advance in civilization is not increase of self-ishness: whether freedom does not necessarily lead to license and anarchy: whether the destitution and debasement of the masses does not inevitably follow increase of population and commercial and manufacturing prosperity. It asks itself whether man is not the sport of a blind, merciless Fate: whether all philosophies are not delusions, and all religions the fantastic creations of human vanity and self-conceit; and, above all, whether, when Reason is abandoned as a guide, the faith of Buddhist and Brahmin has not the same claims to sovereignty and implicit, unreasoning credence, as any other.”

Zero Degrees of Difference

That which appeals to the 14th degree of knowledge.

It seems to be the glaring liability that most members only reach the third degree of knowledge. This modern fallacy has inculcated such a liability of drastic proportions upon our institution! The historic metamorphosis from an operative Craft, (a tangible, constructive ablative of means ,) to a speculating population of people has caused the masses to assimilate into an incoherent, purposely-self-deceived anti-ouroboros). {cite Mackey}

Remaining exists the learning(s) which is (are) Beyond Common Man’s understanding and perception. There are great mysteries, historically only taught by masters of certain proclivities which had perpetually driven their intellects beyond their past experiences’ status quo.

Any Masters’ question (to me,) would be, “What function would it serve you in gaining such sacred knowledge which you aspire to ascertain?

Are you seeking a bond of brotherhood which outlasts any sovereign entity, calamity, war and/ or cultural divide?

Are you simply curious?

Do you have some ulterior motive? Do you wish to enhance your financial capabilities?

Do you believe that you will be part of some secret society under which such affiliation may deem you more worthy, therefore, more fortunate than others?
As the great mysteries are beyond the parameter of complete comprehension which man is capable of scholastically entertain, the knowledge and involvement which I seek-out are neither a concrete conclusion nor a definable expectation. My synopsis may be inaccurate.

Today’s announced “leaders” are, truly, followers, not men of earned tenure. Therefore, we are juxtaposed in society, for we are lead by followers. The only answer needed is: who are they following? Their own interests! God? Baal?

In short, when did speculation become the sole operation which the brotherhood currently preforms? When did actual laborers cease to exist by the mode of being replaced by un-self-educated, untrained minions?

Is the answer to that question as researchable as the month of June in the year, 1717? It as simple as adding blue to red with the intention of creating purple?
Abraham Lincoln touched upon my query in his speech at Gettysburg. There is, “…unfinished work …”. There is a, “… great task remaining before us, …” indeed.

This task is only a treasure we are granted to chase after which, with the result, the prize, being only something to offer our grandchildren and their children.
Our unfinished work is likening to a tree which we plant, but never live to view its fully mature specimen!
The Craft outlives our passions and desires, our selfish whims of worldly experiences. It proliferates to the youth via vigilant selection and stern compassion for good cause.

Reality of Harsh Time

I’ve realized that my true family does not actually Love me, but loves their own complacency as a replacement of that love. Even those who have accepted me and shown me love before have decided to be cold, heartless and ignore me when I communicate. I met a beautiful woman a while back, and she looked at me with Lust in her eyes even though her husband was in the other room, talking to Elli. Days later, that same woman caught me glancing at her open shirt and covered up- annoyed that I had looked, but it was SHE who gave me permission to look at her with lust, because that is what she did to me days before! I’ve learned that that woman is cold, lost and self-involved, too, just like my true family. The truth is: most people do not want to hear the truth. I am a mirror- which is why most people steer clear of me. Even the frog-lickers, the shaman visitors, the Crystal sellers,… they all, connected to the Great Spirit or not,… they ALL avoid me. The place I am in life now is that I’ve finally realized: after all these years (I’m 43;) of people acting uncomfortable around me, speaking to me in a nervous way, acting around me in a nervous way- they all tried to project their mental issues on me- treating me like I am the one who is strange and wrong, and that they are the ones who are normal and correct. … I have come to the place in my life where I recognize that it has NEVER been me and ALWAYS been they who are inadequate, strange and wrong! When my own family who thinks the fact that I am a traveler, that I never stay in one place- my own family treats that as irresponsible, strange, immature; and they think that I am lost. The reality of the matter is that it is they who are irresponsible, strange, immature and lost! My own family is irresponsible, because they blindly believe and do what the television and what the, “government,” tells them to believe and to do. My own family is strange, because they never hugged me when they greeted me, they are scared of true affection. (Maybe, because they lack love for themselves.). My own family is lost, because they have each other, but push me away and tell me I am not welcome in their home, or even in their town. They reach-out for the respect and acceptance of their neighbors and say, “we’ve built a life here…” but their neighbors don’t care about them and don’t know them; and they did not, “build a life;” they merely lived in a house and,… Lived- that is not, “building a life;” that is just staying in one place, never becoming more or doing more for their fellow man. They care only about the three people inside of their houses; and they have unwelcomed me from their houses. The irony is that- it is warriors such as myself who have allowed these weak people to live in such houses.
I ate at a restaurant today; and there was no knife on the table. I used my pocket knife. The owner of the place got all nervous and started acting scared and giving me the “side-eye”.
I’ve used my knife at restaurants many times before. I’ve gotten the same exact response from people. It’s not me; it is they… It is completely normal for a man to carry a knife. It is not normal for a man to NOT carry a knife. Real men carry a knife, and we use it at least twice a day. They – The nervous people who are scared of a pocket knife- are the stupid ones, not me! The thought never crosses my mind to stab somebody with my knife; however, when people see me using it to cut my food at a restaurant, those idiots think I’m gonna stab somebody… They are the stupid ones; and I am not strange. I am more normal than they even know how to be!
Of all of the people who have accepted me, but now, and forever-more, will treat me like I am not normal and that I make them nervous- it is not my doing- it is their own. They have a mental problem; and they are scared of me, because the mirror hides no wrinkles!
“Thank You For Letting Me Share.”
FYI: Evan is one of those people. Anybody who earns a living by only talking on the phone is a parasite. Those of us who pick up the axe and the shovel- we are the true spirit; whereas the bankers and Relators are the untrue darkness.
