“Our Father Which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass upon us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen”
All which ye seeks, man who climbs mountain-top for wisdom, is found only within the cloth which girds thine loins at the bottom!
Our Purpose:
It seems to be the glaring liability that most men only aspire for the minor degrees of knowledge. This fallacy has inculcated such a liability of drastic proportions upon the institution that raising it back up to its former glory is an up-trestle ladder-climb!
The historic metamorphosis from an operative Craft (a tangible, constructive ablative of means,) to a speculating population has caused the masses to assimilate into an incoherent, purposely self-deceived anti-ouroboros). (Mackey)

“This is a true saying, If any man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a worthy work. A Bishop therefore must be unreproveable, the husband of one wife, watching, temperate, modest, harborous, apt to teach, Not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not covetous.
“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it- not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it- they will be blessed in what they do.”
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
‘Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?’”
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.“

“Flee for safety, people of Benjamin! Flee from Jerusalem! Sound the trumpet in Tekoa! Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem! For disaster looms out of the north, even terrible destruction. I will destroy Daughter Zion, so beautiful and delicate. Shepherds with their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents around her, each tending his own portion.”

Long Road Ahead
“Not that I have already obtained this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
“And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses andescape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.”
“Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.”
“The While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.”
“While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.”
When aggression becomes the weight behind the hand which wields the sword of the tongue and when debate has become extinct to be replaced by cowardly screams or a vast, cold, slow and dignified silence, the change you seek shall flourish; but just beyond that horizon.
Which training method did Jonathan Sheppard employ?
When somebody complained how Jonathan Sheppard would never explain his training program to them, this was my response:
Well, some of us understood his training program which was essentially reverse-engineered in congruency with the horse’s running date, its condition, the competition it would be up against, along with the expectations of its upcoming performance while always keeping the race AFTER that performance in mind.
The three in front are old and weak, they walk forward to adjust the pace of the group in case of a race, so they don’t fall behind them.
The next five are the strongest and the most robust, they have the task of protecting the front in case of attack.
The group in the middle is always protected against any attack.
The five behind them are also among the strongest and the best; they are in charge of protecting the rear in case of attack.
The last one is the boss.
Making sure no one is left behind. Keeps the package united and on the same path. He’s always ready to run in any direction to protect and serve as “Bodyguard” to the whole group.
Just in case anyone wanted to know what being a leader really means.
It’s not about being ahead. It means taking care of the team!”

“I believe in God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”

You would think that to love the Lord, God, our creator, would be inherent,… a, “given,” … just an understood fact of life! Who wouldn’t love the one who created everything? That’s easy! … Right? Ahh,…but many do not believe they were created. They do not believe that there is a being to express gratitude towards! They do not believe in God. They believe that randomness and luck are the primordial conditions which have initially catalyzed life!
If randomness and luck were the beginning, (the only, two ingredients which formed the zygote of all of which has ever been,) how is it not random and lucky that there is a God, who, himself, was created by that randomness and luck, thereafter, such God created order and predictability, … the world?

Teaching Our Children to Lie & How To Grow Up To Become Stupid :
From Santa Clause to the Easter Bunny to the Tooth Fairy, our parents told us Lies while we were children.
After that, we are expected to teach those same lies to the next generation of children when we become adults.
Society indoctrinates us to believe lies, then, after seeing the truth, to perpetuate those lies, thus, engraining into society that lying is good and correct and done for good reason. Therefore, doing what is wrong is expected of us; and being truthful is not accepted in society but, rather, shunned.

When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil? When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its field? His God instructs him and teaches him the right way. Caraway is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a stick. Grain must be ground to make bread; so one does not go on threshing it forever. The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it, but one does not use horses to grind grain. All this also comes from the Lord Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent.
“Therefore faint not, nor be weary in well-doing! Be not discouraged at men’s apathy, nor disgusted with their follies, nor tired of their indifference!

Paul tells us:
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’”

Stretching is very, very important, because, not only does it help to prevent you from injury, but it also conditions and readys the muscles for exertion, growth and physical trauma. Stretching After strenuous activity not only strengthens and conditions the muscles further, but stretching lessens your body’s recovery time. … One of the Key proponents to getting and staying fit is understanding and utilizing your body’s recovery time (mental recovery time is something to explore when more advanced methods and exercises are introduced). After all, recovery time is what we Live for… (explanation- we don’t workout just for the act of working out. We do it so we feel good for the duration of the time when we are not working out.) In other words: any time you are not working out is “recovery time”. The amount of recovery time you take always determines your body’s needs in conjunction with your physical self expectations. Wake it, Breath it, Eat it, Sleep it, Live it; Be It!

“That Woman, Doug, she is gone. She left today. Off to presque isle, far, far (thank God,) away!”
You know, Doug,
I feel alone in the following light:
I view the world to be in an utter and urgent need for spiritual revitalization, regrowth and an acutely vast, maelstromistic change in people’s thought patterns, (firstly,) the way people revere each other. That would institute an abrupt change which only fosters deliberate change in the attitudes and expectations which people approach each other with.
I feel alone in this, because I sense the need for an urgent adoption of the above stated notion; but my experience dictates that few people feel this urgency as tremendously as I do.
I feel it and am compelled by it in this exact moment; also, every breathing moment of my hours and days and weeks and months and years; now, decades.
I know you, Doug, share the same wisdom, frustration, hope, fear and humility as I do in the above stated matter; because your heart speaks it to me as your heart speaks it to every person you cross paths with.
I am constantly, brutally abused and taunted by the angst which compels this urgent need for physical and spiritual change in the men around me! I feel like a high school student, stuck in kindergarten, and that is the highest degree I will ever be able to associate with!
I know there are others, like you and me, out there.
All Along, I am put to the test; still, MATTHEW 18:20 ensures me.
My wherewithal remains very still, maybe latent, for I feel so, so alone in life, as the girl whom the Light Bearer hath sent to thwart God’s plan (for me)- a thorn seed, tossed amongst the soil of the path He machete-ied-out for me, as to overgrow my path to hide it from sight, so my spirit might lose It’s way, …That Girl whom I splayed-out my heart for, of which she stole a little piece of, as she was a thief in the night, a thief, stealing from a Knight! … What brazen balls hath her prowess possess and allow to glimmer and shine free for all the townspeople to see!
Oh, Doug, it was a sight, a glorious, glorious Dark Light which the Light Bearer had sent to me to lead me to stand at the top of that mountain, taunting me to jump off, offering me all of the world into my own, one hand! The Light Bearer did tempt and lead me, indeed, to the precipice of that cliff, but I scoffed him off humbly, quietly, authentically, still in debt to desire and still so enthralled by the idea of all of it!
But, no, stones cannot be turned into bread; and the Light Bearer was only able to inhabit but a tiny speck inside my head; for hard-fought strength, humbling wisdom and gleaming beauty- (the pillars of my dream)- those three, (but not alone), hath erected The Temple, sheltering and protecting me!
That Woman, Doug, she is gone. She left today. Off to Presque Isle, far, (thank God,), Far,… away!
Her leaving is not so much a gift from God, but the spoils of the war which He fought for me (up there) and won (on my behalf, bringing physical reality to his glory!)
Still, MATTHEW 18:20 inspires hope in me that, as a fisher of men, my cast-out line shall find that third sea-faring man who’s will is like yours and mine- whose urgency is equally sincere and full of fervor! As the world is so compartmentalized and spread-out, as the tribes of Judah have been, whilst the Tribulation is continually afoot, at-hand, on the rise and commencing, there are soldiers (in Christ,) who are dubbed as Knights- only by our actions, volition and by the record which only God (alone, Himself,) scribes of us. They are not dubbed by the King or the Queen, by the townspeople or in some grotesquely pompous, public ceremony. We, fellow soldiers in Christ, are dubbed by our own hearts, by our own souls; and the hand which dons the dubbing sword is attached to the heart of Jesus, the son of the Great Architect! Therefore, tradition remains fiercely pertinent and much needed! History must be studied whilst it self-knowingly repeats itself!
I feel all alone in the above communicated, for I am like Diogenes, walking through the marketplace, carrying a lit lamp during the daytime, because that is the only way I might find an honest man! (It takes the whole town to call the wise man crazy before they may completely persist in their folly to eventually become wise. …. Only after we are humbled by our own reckoning of our own absurdity can we truly see the catalysts of our own follies!)
Where is this group of men whom I seek?
Where is the gardener, the blacksmith, the butcher, the stone cutter, the mason, the carpenter, the silversmith, the goldsmith and the craftsmen skilled in iron and in bronze? Where is this tribe, this village, this community? Where are these men, Doug? How can we begin with MATTHEW 18:20 and build it up to thirteen (or more) like-minded, like-spirited witnesses of the light if I can only connect with two along my traversing journey? (I am one of those people, so you, really, are the only other man whose faith I can attest for; therefore, there is only one:
You are it, Doug.
I am it, Doug.
(Like the game of Tag, everybody becomes, “it,” if they want to play the game!)
The reason you and I are different, Doug, is because we are always, “it,”! We like being, “it,” because we get to touch other people so that they may feel the same love which you and I feel,…- that power of being, “it,”…. (being Recognized and Loved by Jesus)
Doug, when you feel a warm, growing feeling in your heart, that’s Jesus, tagging you, grinning, “Your It! … I Love You!”
Then, Jesus runs away, knowing that you’ll chase him and try to match His game!
Why am I so lost and stressed-out in this world, Doug? The above is the only thing that ever goes on in my head every moment of my daze… That is the stress which I live under constantly. ECCLESIASTES 1:18
Keep matching His game, Doug! Keep chasing Jesus! He may seem like he keeps running away from you, but that is just his playtime- designed to make you stronger!
“Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that prodeedeth out of the mouth of God;”
MATTHEW 4:4
The Church is our Christian Family; however, The Temple– the structure of worship- is your body!
The Temple is not a stone building, but worship- True Worship,
True Love emits from the center of the Temple’s heart.
Two pillars of the church are Strength and Beauty. A third pillar of the church is Wisdom.
A strong Christian sees God’s beauty in all things and practices mercy even with those who do wrong. After all, it is God’s duty to punish; and we are forbidden from punishing others.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
“… After all, it takes the Strength, Wisdom and Beauty of a Free Man to offer charity to a brother in need,..”
The hand of charity is not short, but the arm which reserves it genuflects to the miser. …
After all, it takes the Strength, Wisdom and Beauty of a Free Man to offer charity to a brother in need,.. but only if that charity does not weaken such Free Man or his home.

Where is there a Lodge Of Master Markers, Who’s moon-body has surfed Beyond this already-traversed marble?
Is it from the east? Is it to the West? Could it be farther South, Or even closer north?
Could the albatross Have already flown across, Leaving the mariner’s quiver inclined by the motion of chilled skin?
This building, A tabernacle to those who seek, Is both verb and noun, Word and sound.
‘Tis a corner-cutters’ dream, That tent, That rejected stone! I may not mark it alone!
No longer a symbol, Lost carving, or word, The Master’s capstone Has corners which point directions.
Where hath the path been beaten to; and who’s feet have tamped-down that earth?
No master carves his own name; No flint strikes against steel. No building Raises its own gables.
If the search Is to build here and now, than the ashes of the earth are the edge of this town.
“Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elemtary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgement.”
“Keep the Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then, you will be prosperous and successful.”
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
The eyes are the lamp of the body. When you are stoned, those lamps are tinted-over; what you view, looking-out, is tinted; and what others view, looking-in is glossed-over.

Many Tibetan monks used Lotus seeds for their malas
What Is a Mala?
A mala may be known as a beaded necklace which is used by monks to count their breaths, or, more accurately, to maintain focus while meditating.
How Does A Mala Work?
A Mala is a beaded necklace composed of 108 beads, divided into 4 sections. One bead is held between the meditator’s fingers to indicate one entire breath – in and out. After the out breath, the fingers move to the next bead, and the practitioner repeats that process.
This process is the perfect way to maintain focus on the meditation at hand.… When our mind wanders off, our fingers switch to another bead, and we come back to our focus.
The average meditation session lasts about 45 minutes, which accounts for 2 sections of those beads.
Dividing the sections are, “Focus Beads,” which are larger beads- different form the rest in size and texture, to bring the practitioner back to the original focus, or mantra, of the meditation. This is done because the mind easily wanders off and drifts throughout the meditation; so the larger beads remind the meditator to come back to the original focus.
Most meditators cannot sit for an entire session of the 108 beads.
One section is comprised of 27 beads, which usually takes about 27 minutes to get through. Two sections of beads usually equals 45 minutes of meditation.
Many Tibetan monks used Lotus seeds for their malas. Lotus seeds start out as white, and, overtime, they turn black from usage. That being said, anybody wearing a lotus seed mala which is Black is a very, very well conditioned practitioner!
The three bottom beads of the mala have more meaning, which I will describe at a later date.
“I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.”

-Morning-
Sunday is church day.
I attended church service at the Ocala Farm Ministry this morning. It was a light congregation- smaller than it was a couple of years ago when I had attended. Chaplain Bob was so inviting! His smile was the light of the room!
Before the service began, I wrote about a recent experience. I wrote:
“…I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue. And although no Act of Congress directs the release of information pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have determined that the release of all records in the Federal Government’s possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest….”
President Donald John Trump
“Policy and Purpose. More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events. Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.”
“…The souls that are purified, not by the Law but by light, rise to the Heavenly regions, to enjoy there a perfect felicity. Those that persevere in evil go from body to body, the seats of passions and evil desires. …”
How a man bars his arrogance from his mannerisms while climbing up this Tower of Babble as an hourly challenge (these days,) is a phenomenal understanding!
“Group mentality is the monarchy of the new era, and freedom is the new terrorist against consciousness expansion.”
The only danger we face in life is acceptance of any way other than the way of the individual. As a doormat cannot wipe its own feet on itself, the common man can only be common when he accepts the norm.
Group mentality is the monarchy of the new era, and freedom is the new terrorist against positive consciousness expansion. The way to change reality is to Be the change within one’s own, individual mind.
Chip Van Hassel
We will never convince the people as a group; we can only convince the people by being an example for the group to follow.
To follow the group is to be a lemming, jumping off of the cliff.
To accept the common man's reality is an individual choice to sleep.
To awaken, is the greater energy, tapped-in to by free thought and purposeful action.
Wealth can only be distributed when there is a definition of, “wealth”. Distribution only occurs when there are those who distribute.
Subtract “wealth,” from the equation; and subtract distribution from common man’s mentality, and the true answer becomes screamingly apparent.
Modern man- the evolutionary betrayer.
Individuals who are free thinkers will be ridiculed by their current peers, only to be recognized for their genius long, long after their deaths.
Society is never ready for the truth, but Positive thought is always ready for society.

“…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.”
“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.” “

“In arrogance, there is great ruin and great instability. In idleness, there is loss and dire poverty, for idleness is the mother of famine.”
Book of Tobit 4:13
“Do not keep with you overnight the wages of those who have worked for you, but pay them at once. … Be on guard, son, in everything you do; be wise in all that you say, and discipline yourself in all your conduct. Do to no man or woman what you hate yourself.”
She is a Lion. There is no middle class anymore. The upper-middle class has diminished to becoming lower-middle class. The medium-middle class no longer exists; therefore, you are either lower-middle class (which is approximately 1% below poverty rate), welfare recipients (who are the coming denominator for the entire, middle class,”, and you have the Upper Class which is comprised of either aristocrats or their offspring. The new, upper class does not earn money via producing a product or providing a service anymore. Their money is not earned income, but capital gains, which are compounding interest payments garnered from stored, uncirculated currency. The amount the upper class spends is calculated to be less than those interest payments, therefore, they never spend the principal; and since the interest is compounded, the principal grows of it’s mere existence, without reinvesting or diversifying. Big chunks of money just sit there to collect interest, and remain uncirculated. In other words, the offspring who is spending the money is not earning it; that money comes from the clouds, into their pockets, and; to collect it, all they have to do is wake up in the morning!
The Lower Class, to collect money, the need to work to earn it. Waking up is the easy part for the blue-collar worker. Collecting the money which belongs to them always seems to be the hard part.
Waking up for a Trust Fund Baby is the easy part, too; but paying the people who work for them seems to be the hard part for them, as well!
It’s called a, “Trust Fund,” it the above is the reason why your paycheck (on a monthly basis,) is approximately $2,600.00 LESS than you need to save, get ahead and live a better quality life. It is not a mistake. There is a reason why the Federal Reserve is going to have to start paddling their canoe in the next four years; and what I just stated above is only part of the reason why! Semper Fidelis!
“A very odd occurrence happened between the 2020 election where Joe Biden supposedly won and the 2024 election where Donald Trump won the presidency. Somehow we had a total turnout of 18 million fewer votes cast in 2024 than in 2020. Both of those factors can’t be true and anybody with the math ability of an 8th grader should be scratching their heads.
Given the divide between Democrat and Republican voters due to the two vastly different personalities and political positions of vice president Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, people were expecting vote totals meeting or exceeding those of 2020.
“The closest approximation to truth
is found usually
in the mean of extreme views.”
“In the light of fuller knowledge it will be thought that the claim has lapsed, or only remains as a pious belief prevailing among an uncritical minority. … Whose mental bias predisposes them to the defense of exploded views. In such a case, however, an indiscriminate rejection is not much less superficial than an unenquiring acquiescence of a non-proven claim. The history of debated questions of this kind teaches another lesson, and the closest approximation to truth is found usually in the mean of extreme views.”
“…His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.”
The Face Which Tries to Look at Itself
A man interprets, “doing the Lord’s work,” as living as the example of compassion and unconditional love. The man knows that, “the ultimate answer,” is to love the Lord above everything else. The man deems the act of loving himself as being the most selfish action a man could possibly undertake. (PROVERBS 16:5) The man, rather, deems that sacrificing himself for the sake of the happiness of others is, “doing the Lord’s work.” The man fails to actively share the love with himself which he yearns to share with others. In order to become the light of God for others, the man must learn to love the one person whom he deems to be most unworthy of such unconditional love!* This man has trained his mind to employ self-sacrifice over self-love. His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love,which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
“Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.”
“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.”
“And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.”
“This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”
“By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Governors and Judges are the Princes of Darkness of this World
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.”
“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”
“He said to them, “Is not the Lord your God with you? And has he not granted you rest on every side?
For he has given the inhabitants of the land into my hands, and the land is subject to the Lord and to his people.
Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God.
Begin to build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the Lord.”
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
“Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. But I will come to you very soon, … and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I came to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?”
“Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.”
“My roots will reach to the water, and the dew will lie all night on my branches. My glory will not fade; the bow will be ever new in my hand.’ “People listened to me expectantly, waiting in silence for my counsel.”
“Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court.
Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.”
“Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.”
“When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.

“Goodbye Norma Jeane Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the owners, against the authorities, against the spiritual forces of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.”
“Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.”
PSALMS 51:4
“Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.””
“let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.”
“A human heart throbs beneath the beggar’s gabardine; and that and no more stirs with its beating the Prince’s mantle. “
Treasures
“The great problem of Humanity is wrought out in the humblest abodes; no more than this is done in the highest.
A human heart throbs beneath the beggar’s gabardine; and that and no more stirs with its beating the Prince’s mantle.
The beauty of Love, the charm of friendship, the sacredness of Sorrow, the heroism of Patience, the noble Self-sacrifice, these and their like, alone, make life to be life indeed, and are its grandeur and its power.
They are the priceless treasures and glory of humanity; and they are not things of condition. All places and all scenes are alike clothed with the grandeur and charm of virtues such as these.”
“A general lassitude inclined the minds of all toward the quietude of that amalgamation of doctrines for which the expedition of Alexander and the more peaceful occurrences that followed, with the establishment in Asia and Africa of many Grecian dynasties and a great number of Grecian colonies, and prepared the way.”

Stop it!
-“The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.” JOB 38:15-
Stop Flashing Masonic Hand Signs.
Stop flashing the sign in photos and in public, because doing so weakens the Craft, exposes the Craft and creates disharmony among those who are aware that there is a big club which they are not allowed in to. Those who are flashing the sign are, indeed, those of lower degree. If a master Mason is known to keep secrets, those who publicly display the secrets are not True Freemasons; they are only masons.
“The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.”
My son, pay attention to my wisdom, turn your ear to my words of insight, 2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. 3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; 4 but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. 6 She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, 2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
“Execute true judgment; and show mercy and compassion every man to his brother.

Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of Truth and Peace in your gates; and love no false oath”
“… The Order of the Amaranth was officially organized June 14, 1873 in New York City as part of the Rite of Adoption. …”
Purpose of the Order of the Amaranth
“The Order of the Amaranth is a fraternal organization composed of Master Masons and their properly qualified female relatives. In its teachings, the members are emphatically reminded
“With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.“
“What you do with your physical body releases the angels or withdraws the angels.”
Pastor Richard Cecil
“Therefore, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”
What you do with your physical body and posture grants communication with God.

“A little leaven doth leaven the whole lump.”
GALATIANS 5:9
Our posture is important to God.”
Pastor Richard Cecil
“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
“A man on his deathbed, raising his hands, (after saying, ‘I surrender all,’ is physically victorious. His actions, through surrender, (his posture,) granted him the power to express the Greatness of God.”
The answer, though the same as the problem, is to do nothing evil against evil. Retaliation, by nature, (altogether) is too late; the deed has been done.
To retaliate is to wage vengeance.

“There is but a finger’s difference between a wise man and a fool. If a man raises his first finger and speaks, people think him wise. If he lifts his middle finger, they think him mad.”
“… a beautiful system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.”
Time and Evolving
Freemasonry did not happen (,or occur,) arbitrarily; (over night;) Freemasonry happened over time. Therefore, any instant understanding of it is donned by unguided, however, uneducated predispositions.
Why do we say that? …. This is why we have published this:
“… speaking of it in terms of a man’s Christian walk. He needs mature Christian men to mentor him He needs Christian brothers roughly the same age to walk with him through life. He needs younger men to mentor.”
“… Taking nothing with us which does not belong to ourselves, leaving nothing behind us that is of our real selves,…”
“And so the Quest goes on. And the Quest, as it may be, ends in attainment- we know not where and when; so long as we can conceive of our separate existence, the quest goes on- an attainment continued henceforward. And ever shall the study of the ways which have been followed by those who have passed in front be a help on our path.
“Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.”
When an intellectual conversation dissolves into a self-loathing proclamation…
“The Answer,” they seek cannot materialize. Instead, the, “investigation,” becomes a self-exploration, describing the whole of humanity, fueled by pent-up emotion (which they want to share,) consequently being extinguished by the arrogant affect of being the observer attempting to objectively observe itself. As a picture of a pencil cannot draw itself, the human attempting to reconcile with its own cognitive dissonance by way of cognition is the same as the ocean attempting to dry itself off by splashing around!
“You don’t have to understand it, the thing is you just need to start moving in a direction of the rest of the world and God will guide you in the direction you’re supposed to go.”
“It is useless to reason with those whose confidence is not shaken in the face of impossibilities, whose imagination can bridge all gulfs in evidence by fantastic suppositions.”
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.”

“while Eleazar was publicly to read aloud the holy scroll. Giving the watchword of “God’s help,” Judas took command of the first military unit and attacked Nicanor.”
She asked me, “How could disillusion manifest hope?” Whether false or probable, hope is a phenomenon that facilitates us to function within our Uncomfort Zone.
Language makes no mistake in making a synonym of the word, “right,” with the term, “correct”. Furthermore, language correlates the word, “left,” with abandonment. If you are, “left,” you are, “left behind”. When you are right, you are, “correct”. When mankind’s understanding becomes, “right,” about something, it leaves what is, “wrong,” behind. In humanity, people rendered as being incorrect are left behind by those who are correct. This is true of the animal kingdom, for the weakest or injured animals are many times left behind; because one injured animal attracts the danger of many predators. Faith does not ensure survival in the animal kingdom.
“It was,” says he, “through gratitude for having been admitted to the labors of the mystical temple, that the Knights Hospitallers” (he should have said, “the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Jesus Christ”) “requested of Pope Eugenius II.
Brethren: On the 11th March, 542 years ago, the last Grand Master of the whole Order of the Temple breathed his last; and our noble brotherhood ceased publicly to exist as a great religio-military institution.

“HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE ORDER OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
“… ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, because I have understanding. I removed the boundaries of nations, I plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their kings. As one reaches into a nest, so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations; as people gather abandoned eggs, so I gathered all the countries; not one flapped a wing, or opened its mouth to chirp.’” Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it, or the saw boast against the one who uses it? As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up, or a club brandish the one who is not wood!’ …”
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
It is accurate to say that all the Old School horsemen are all gone. Just as capitalism no longer guarantees freedom (for the middle class), working hard in aspiration of earning an adequately-compensatory wage deems to be in incongruence with sanity, according to the current, socioeconomic reality. The delegation of a man of higher caliber insists that his such sojourn be ambulated, or accompanied by, similarly-spirited, likely-educated and strongly-willed, gentile warriors of both the sword and the book.
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
“Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness.”
The Templar Knight diverts his eyes from pretty women in the crowd, (and in private). The Knight displays his moral example through the look in his eyes.
“For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword.

“The great majority of the cell divisions that happen in your body involve mitosis. During development and growth, mitosis populates an organism’s body with cells, and throughout an organism’s life, it replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones. For single-celled eukaryotes like yeast, mitotic divisions are actually a form of reproduction, adding new individuals to the population.”
“Woe to him who makes God to be unto like any mode or attribute… Woe more if he make Him like unto sons of man, whose elements are earthly, and so are consumed and perish! There can be no conception attained of Him (God) except in so far as He manifests Himself when exercising dominion by and through some attribute.”
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,
and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
“If a majority are capable of preferring their own private interest, or of their families, counties and party to that of a nation collectively, some provision must be made in the constitution, in favor of justice, to compel all to respect the common right, the public good, the universal law in preference to all private and partial considerations.”
“The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. “
“America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is a well-wisher of freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator of only her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benign sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence; should would involve herself beyond the powers of extrication, in all wars of interest and intrigue, of envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom.
The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become a dictatress of the world. We would no longer be the ruler of her own spirit.”

“This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me.
I will.
My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count.
We will hit.
My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviors of my life.
So be it,
until victory is America’s and there is no enemy.“

“Because of the Lord’s anger she will not be inhabited but will be completely desolate. All who pass Babylon will be appalled; they will scoff because of all her wounds. ‘Take up your positions around Babylon, all you who draw the bow. Shoot at her! Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord. Shout against her on every side! She surrenders, her towers fall, her walls are torn down. Since this is the vengeance of the Lord, take vengeance on her; do to her as she has done to others. Cut off from Babylon the sower, and the reaper with his sickle at harvest. Because of the sword of the oppressor let everyone return to their own people, let everyone flee to their own land.'”

“After this , I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.”
This is the beginning of, or cornerstone of, the Temple. As the Sela Hammahlkoth is a fresh, encouraging Attitude, the destination is exactly that Unknown Feeling! ‘Tis a school, this project. ACTS 15:16 is not the journey. The destination is its own mystery.

“We no longer expect to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. To us it has become but a symbol. To us the whole world is God’s Temple, as is every upright heart. To establish all over the world the New Law and Reign of Love, Peace, Charity, and Toleration, is to build that Temple, most acceptable to God, in erecting which Masonry is now engaged. No longer needing to repair to Jerusalem to worship, nor to offer up sacrifices and shed blood to propitiate the Deity, man may make the woods and mountains his Churches and Temples, and worship God with a devout gratitude, and with works of charity and beneficence to his fellow-men. Wherever the humble and contrite heart silently offers up its adoration, under the overarching trees, in the open, level meadows, on the hill-side, in the glen, or in the city’s swarming streets; there is God’s House and the New Jerusalem.”
“Such is the decree of destiny. If the people are content with freedom of conscious and constitutional liberty, it will be well. If, going to the other extreme, they plunge into universal doubt and anarchy, let us hope that this may be but a step in the process of spiritual and political regeneration. For us, the only law is, to fulfill our duty.”
-LEGENDA XXXII
“Blue Masonry neither remembers its duty, nor knows its powers. It can neither prevent political convolutions, nor avert the horrors of civil war. When these rage, it’s voice is not uplifted to still the storm; but it withdrawals into its cells and asyla, hoping to emerge again when the skies are clear once more, to renew its self-glorification, and weary men with its idle vanities.”
In the story of Sampson and Delilah, Sampson was the Judge of people. He fell in love with a prostitute named, Delilah. Delilah favored selfishness and riches over Sampson. Delilah manipulated Sampson using his love for her to reveal the secret to his strength. Since love is blind, Sampson told her his secret. Using that secret, she betrayed him by turning him over to the Philistines in exchange for twenty-eight pounds of silver.
“Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

“You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor. 3 You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
“An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels. 2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions. 3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt, and with shame comes reproach. 4 The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream. 5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked and so deprive the innocent of justice. 6 The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating. 7 The mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives. 8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.”
“There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.”
“May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees. May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous. May your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.”

Very near to us lies the mines of wisdom; unsuspected they lie all around us. There is a secret In the simplest things, a wonder in the plainest, a charm in the dullest.”

“The million occasions will come to us all, in the ordinary paths of our life, in our homes, and by our firesides, wherein we may act as nobly, as if, all our life long, we led armies, sat in senates, or visited beds of sickness and pain. Varying every hour, the million occasions will come in which we may
restrain our passions, subdue our hearts to gentleness and patience, resign our own interest for another’s advantage, speak words of kindness and wisdom, raise the fallen, cheer the fainting and sick in spirit, and soften and assuage the weariness and bitterness of their mortal lot.”

It all started when the narcissist refused to communicate with one of her coworkers. In doing that, she took away her own ability to speak passive-aggressively while telling the victim which horse they were getting on. The narcissist used the set-list to abuse the victim before every, single horse using micro-aggressions.
That day when the micro-aggression tool was no longer employable, the Narcissist envoked the flying monkeys and the crazy-making routine.
When those did not work, the Narcissist lost her composure, and her true self was revealed.
A narcissist will threaten their boss to quit and hold that over their boss’s head if the boss does not allow the narcissist to Verbally Abuse their coworkers.
The narcissist destroys everybody who refuses to put up with their petty behavior.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
“If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
It’s not you; it’s they, two. The negativity you have been feeling from people your whole life is simply The Evil One trying to chase God Away. The righteous are as bold as a lion.

“You now see everything through a veil of associations about things, projected over a direct, simple awareness. ‘You’ve seen it all before’: it’s like watching a movie for the twentieth time.

But the spirit comes to the man from the clay he is made clean. When does a man become clean? At the age of thirteen years. Then he joins himself with both spirits, one on the right and one on the left, and these are the two spirit which are appointed ever to remain by man. If he strive after perfection, the evil spirit is restrained, so that the right rules the left and both unite to secure him in all his ways.'”
“faith…if it is not accompanied by action,

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

“Each day we must help our brethren for whom we are responsible, for one day God will say, ‘Where is thy Brother?’ Accept no reward, always be a pillar of the Temple, for all the Order holds for us is the opportunity to flee the sins of the world, to live charitably, to be penitent, and above all, to be the servant of Almighty God.” “As true Templars, we must always be prepared for battle in either the temporal or spiritual realms. Our oaths require moral courage and our way of life demands dedication to our knightly ideals. The true knight is, of course, humble before the Lord and his fellow man. If a true Templar would boast about anything, he boasts in our Lord!”

“The Ritual of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Overview of the Ceremony The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a significant monument dedicated to unidentified soldiers who lost their lives in war. The ceremonial guard, known as a sentinel, performs a precise ritual that includes: Walking 21 steps: The sentinel marches exactly 21 steps along a black mat. Pausing for 21 seconds: After each set of steps, the sentinel pauses for 21 seconds, facing the tomb. This ritual is a powerful symbol of respect and remembrance for those who served and are no longer known. Significance of the 21 Steps and Seconds The choice of 21 is deeply symbolic, reflecting the 21-gun salute, which is a traditional military honor. Each element of the ritual serves to honor the sacrifices made by soldiers, emphasizing the solemnity and discipline required in this duty. The Role of the Sentinel Sentinels are highly trained soldiers who take on the responsibility of guarding the tomb 24 hours a day, regardless of weather conditions. This commitment showcases their dedication to preserving the memory of the fallen. The ritual is not just a performance; it is a profound act of honor that connects the living with the sacrifices of those who came before. The phrase “With each step, my war is over” encapsulates the personal journey of the sentinel, reflecting a sense of closure and respect for the sacrifices made by others.”

“The world within is governed by mind. When we discover this world we shall find the solution for every problem, the cause for every effect; and, since the world within is subject to our control, all laws of power and possession are also within our control.”
Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?
“I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I’. All day long, I have held my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations- people who continually provoke me to my very face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on alters of brick; who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil, who eat the flesh of pigs and whose pots hold broth of impure meat; who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me. I am too sacred for you! Such people are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that keeps burning all day.”

“This is true because we must “be” before we can “do,” and we can “do” only to the extent which we ‘are,’ and what we “are” depends upon what we ‘think.’”
“The attitude of mind necessarily depends upon what we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement and all possession depends upon our method of thinking.”
“Harmony in the world within will be reflected in the world without by harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, the best of everything. It is the foundation of health and a necessary essential to all greatness, all power, all attainment, all achievement and all success.”

If even God took the seventh day off for rest, why must a man toil seven days a week for another man who cares not for he, however labels time as money, and pretends that money, or a paycheck, is so gracious a gift, offered in charity, that the worker should forever be grateful to the employer and never question any selfish intention that could be interpreted of such a mutual agreement?
When asked what was the proper time for supper, Diogenes replied, “If you are a rich man, whenever you please; and if you are a poor man, whenever you can.”
There were two “Benjamin gates” in the city of Jerusalem, one in the Temple (Jer 20:2) and the other perhaps to be identified with the “sheep gate” in the N wall of the city (37:13; Zech 14:10).
“The mysteries were established by men of great genius who, in early days, strove to teach purity, ameliorate the cruelty of the race, to refine its morals and manners and to restrain society by a stronger bond than those which human laws impose.”

“…as if the Walmart greeter who checks your receipt is an authority figure…”

“If mankind is indeed depraved and immoral, requiring armed police and an army to keep its members in line, than no defense for anarchism can be made.”

“Go and get more information. Find out where David usually goes and who has seen him there. They tell me he is very crafty. 23 Find out about all the hiding places he uses and come back to me with definite information. Then I will go with you; if he is in the area, I will track him down among all the clans of Judah.”

“When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”

You Have No Privacy. Simply because “Privacy Laws” are written, YOU DO NOT have to comply with them.
Many Laws are proven to be unconstitutional when litigated in a court room. Make Your Own Decisions. Follow Your Own Moral Law.

You Are The Government. You are Not a servant of the Government. Freedom is Not Provided. Freedom is exercised. Freedom is NOT the result of Military Presence. Military Presence is Violence, slavery and is only the result of greed and fear. Triple-check your sources.
CNN, ABC, FOX, BBC, ESPN are not credible sources. Report your own news, and STOP just repeating what people tell you!
Educate yourself diligently. Repeating information from newspapers or from television news shows or from text books is not a form of educated dialog.
Self observation, logic and self-accountability are forms of education.
Privacy Policies are a farce, because your information is still on a server somewhere; human beings can still access it.
If you want privacy, do not transfer possession of your data; and keep it private via your own means.
The majority of the data you put onto/into the internet is done so using open source,
which means it anybody can read it, change it or simply locate it and retrieve it.
You have no privacy in the open-source world. It is all One’s and Zero/s, my fellow brethren; yes’s and no’s.
Did you put your data into the open-source world? (Yes?) Is the open-source world naturally “private?” NO. You have no privacy.
Our policy reflects only reality; we do not entertain group-mentality. The reality is that you have no privacy, so our privacy policy is that you have no privacy.
Big Brother is, indeed, Watching you.
We are not going to join the idiocy of believing that, just because some body “requires,” people to have some “privacy policy,” that it is our duty to act upon any such arbitrary, said, “requirement”.
We do not have control over your data as it travels from place to place and as it is stored in various places;
However, the infrastructure put in place by corporations needed to have the internet (it) logs and tracks all data out of necessity of functionality and has complete control and copies of said data.
Your data is tracked, saved and logged as a necessity of the process, (not on our end,) and is done so using an open-source environment;
Our privacy policy dictates that the formerly mentioned process is reality, so, if you want your data to remain private, keep it to yourself.
Our Privacy Policy is this: You have NO privacy. Stop acting like subservient sheep; and take accountability for yourselves.
Just because policies and laws exist, reality does not dictate that you must conform.
Be Real.

Those who should be held most accountable are the most unaccounted for in society; and that is your and my fault, nobody else’s!
It is not society’s fault. You are society. You Are The Government. Be Something. Do something. If you want privacy, build your own privacy. If you want Reality and The Truth; than you have forfeited your right to privacy.
If you think there is a “private”way to transfer any of your data using the internet,
than education is paramount for you; and we are here to tell you that
There is no private way to transfer information using the internet. If there were, it wouldn’t be the internet.
It would be inside your of brain, private and nowhere that is accessible to anybody else.
Policies are for people who don’t know how to act, therefore, we have no policies. Be nice; and educate yourself constantly. Otherwise, get out of the way!

The climax of Mitchell’s campaign came in September 1925, when the loss of the navy dirigible Shenandoah in a storm inspired him to publicly accuse the War and Navy departments of “incompetency, criminal negligence, and almost treasonable administration of the national defense.” He was, as he expected, immediately court-martialed, and, after he made the trial a platform for his views, he was convicted in December of insubordination. Sentenced to suspension from rank and pay for five years, he resigned from the army on Feb. 1, 1926, and retired to a farm near Middleburg, Va.

We no longer expect to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. To us it has become but a symbol. To us the whole world is God’s Temple, as is every upright heart. To establish all over the world the New Law and Reign of Love, Peace, Charity, and Toleration, is to build that Temple, most acceptable to God, in erecting which Masonry is now engaged. No longer needing to repair to Jerusalem to worship, nor to offer up sacrifices and shed blood to propitiate the Deity, man may make the woods and mountains his Churches and Temples, and worship God with a devout gratitude, and with works of charity and beneficence to his fellow-men. Wherever the humble and contrite heart silently offers up its adoration, under the overarching trees, in the open, level meadows, on the hill-side, in the glen, or in the city’s swarming streets; there is God’s House and the New Jerusalem.
“…I am neither the champion nor the apologist of our Society; and that my opinion of its merits is the less liable to the imputation of partiality that I do not attempt to conceal or palliate the defects it is our common object to correct.”
Brethren: On the 11th March, 542 years ago, the last Grand Master of the whole Order of the Temple breathed his last; and our noble brotherhood ceased publicly to exist as a great religio-military institution. The anniversary of his martyrdom should ever be held in sacred remembrance by all Knights Templars, whether they follow the banner of the Cross and Serpent, that of the Black Eagle, or that of the Blood-red Cross. Prompted by these holy emotions, your committee requested me to address you on that occasion.

“A technical … term which signifies to make valid or legal. Hence one who has received a degree in an irregular manner or from incompetent authority is not recognized until he has been healed. The precise mode of healing depends on circumstances. If the Lodge which conferred the degree was clandestine, the whole ceremony of initiation would have to be repeated. If the authority which conferred the degree was only irregular, and the question was merely a technical one of legal competence, it has been supposed that it was only necessary to exact an obligation of allegiance, or in other words to renew the covenant.” -Copyright, 1878, by Moss & Co and A.G.

Pope Clement Appears before the Judgement Seat of God. Long Live James de. Molay!!
“Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone…”
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, … to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,…
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. …
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, …
“And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses andescape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.”
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life…”

JAMES 1:2-8
Trials and Temptations
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding your nearest kin, That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words. The Crafty Harlot
For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding, Passing along the street near her corner; And he took the path to her house
In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night.
And there a woman met him, With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
She was loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home.
At times she was outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner.
So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him:
“I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows. So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you. I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen. I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love. For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey; He has taken a bag of money with him, And will come home on the appointed day.”
With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.
Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life. Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths;
For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men.
Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.
book of PROVERBS chapter 7 (New International Version)
“Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.”
“The While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.”
“So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.”
The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
“You have many workers: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as those skilled in every kind of work 16 in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and the Lord be with you.””
“Now stop your mocking,
or your chains will become heavier;”
The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim, he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon— to do his work, his strange work, and perform his task, his alien task. 22 Now stop your mocking, or your chains will become heavier; the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me of the destruction decreed against the whole land.
