“The Scout goes by compass, both morally and navigationally and ventures only to glean the best of the whole. Mankind is dependent on The Scout. Information is The Holy Grail. Clarity is the Treasure! In our Scouts, our Rangers, the young men of the old, Mankind instills its faith.”

“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.”

“How far is Christopher from here?”

Just as she said, “Christopher,”
her friend’s jacket brushed across my shoulder. …

my name is, “Christopher”!

Solomononic Observation

“There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto.
And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself.”

Virginia Woolf

Ram Pump

“One possible solution to providing livestock drinking water in remote locations is the hydraulic ram pump.”

HOMEMADE HYDRAULIC RAM PUMP FOR LIVESTOCK WATER

One of the more challenging aspects of developing pasture and grazing land is providing access to a reliable water supply for livestock. In some cases, existing streams, creeks, or ponds provide drinking water for the livestock. When a surface water source is not available, wells can be drilled and pumps installed to provide water for the animals. In some instances, surface water may be available, but not accessible to the livestock due to water quality issues, steep access slopes, or fencing issues.

Fruit of the Spirit

“Against such there is no law.”

No Law Against Kindness

“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.

Galatians 5:22-26

One Man’s Conundrum

“…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.

*The man is unforgivingly judgmental of himself.

“All they want from me is sex, Charlie; … a quick night of passion of animalistic hedonism.”

Charlie smirked at me brightly.

“They are looking for that amazing action which changes their world-view.” I continued. “They are not looking for a husband to commit to or to hold on lonely nights.

What Is Your Dilemma?

We Are Surrounded By Adults Who Think Other Adults Are Authority Figures Over Each Other

The conundrum is that our fellow adults are still inundated by their childish and immature thought processes which guide their actions. Like a Christian yelling at the world to, “Repent!” I find myself screaming on the street corner, wearing a sandwich-board sign that says, “The End Is Near!” … telling my fellow man that we are all doomed to suffering and failure if we all do not collectively change our ways!


Society seems leery and scared of me. It is as if, if I genuinely be myself, people would look at me like I was dangerous and crazy.

The fact of the matter is that they are scared of their own realization of failure, that they purposely and actively deplete the value of their fellow man in order to maintain a dysfunctional status quo, therefore, lowering the worldly standard, making it easier to live at whatever quality of life they deem to be satisfactory.

The Choice

It Is A Choice.

“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.”

COLOSSIANS 3:12-17

Lazy People

Lazy People In The Workplace

When dealing with people, (they are like zebras never changing their stripes,) evil doers will never switch-over to the side of good.

When forced to interact with selfish people, you are tested of your kindness, patience and self-preservation.

Develop your ability to adapt and change, so you do not fall in to their trap of acting the ways in which they do.

Light of the World

Light a Lamp

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

MATTHEW 5:14-16

What is Love?

Defining Love

“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.”

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8

Perfection in Thought

Eternal Judgement

“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.”

HEBREWS 6:1-2

Words of John the Baptist

John shared Isaiah’s words with us:

 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.’”

MATTHEW 3:3

Keep From Idols

Dear Children, keep yourselves from idols!

We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true.

And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

1 JOHN 5:19-21

Listening but not Doing

As it says in the book of JAMES:

“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.”

JAMES 1:23-25

Seven Deadly Sins

It says in the book of PROVERBS:

“There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:

1. haughty eyes,

2. a lying tongue,

3. hands that shed innocent blood,

4. a heart that devises wicked schemes,

5. feet that are quick to rush into evil,

6. a false witness who pours out lies

7. and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

Query

God’s Dream for You

“How would you describe the current dream(s) God has put in your heart?”

Pastor Jay Hurley

“How are your dreams (which) you are pursuing helping to reach God’s plan for eternity?”

Pastor Jay Hurley

1. Focus on God’s purpose.

2. Focus on God’s perspective.

3. Focus on God’s plan.

4. Focus on God’s prize.

5. Choose one Chair.

Moving On

When you forget your past, you drop your old cross.

Jesus then said to his disciples,
“If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself: and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

For what shall it profit a man though he should win the whole world, if he lose his own soul? or what shall a man give for recompense of his soul?”

Our Duty

LEVITICUS 5:1

Two Kinds of Wisdom

Wise Being

“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.”

JAMES 3:13-18

Sanctuary in Your Heart

Build the Temple Within

“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.”

1 CHRONICLES 22:18-19

Full Armor of God

“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.”

EPHESIANS 6:12-17

Speak the Word

Feet Which Bring Good News

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?

And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?

And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”

ROMANS 10:14-17

His Authority

I am with you always.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.””

MATTHEW 28:18-20

Rid of Arrogance

Power, not Talk

“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?”

1 CORINTHIANS 4:18

Pack of Wolves

The last one is the boss

“A pack of wolves,

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!”

Admonishment of Idlenness

Warning Against Idleness

“In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching[a] you received from us.
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”
We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.
And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.
Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them,in order that they may feel ashamed. 15 Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-14

Good and Bad Fruit

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

By their fruit you will recognize them.

Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

PSALM of David

“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.”

PSALM 15

Pass Through Darkness

“…the only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve…”

“All is good and well and right; and shall be so forever.
Through the eternal ages the light of God’s beneficence shall shine hereafter,
disclosing all,
consummating all,
rewarding all that deserve reward.
Then we shall see, what now we can only believe.
The cloud will be lifted up,
the gate of mystery be passed,
and the full light shine forever;
the light of which that of the Lodge is a symbol.

Then that which caused us trial shall yield us triumph;
and that which made our heart ache
shall fill us with gladness;
and we shall then feel that there,
as here,
the only true happiness is to learn,
to advance,
and to improve;
which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.”

“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.”

-“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.”

Second Thessalonians, Book Two

2 THESSALONIANS, Chapter 2

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christand our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.

Warning Against the Adulterous Woman

and store up my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and to insight, “You are my relative.”
5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.

PROVERBS Chapter 5

Warning Against Adultery

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, if you accept my words

and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

Resenting the Master

Revere The Teacher With Compassion.

A Short Article For Flourishing Students:

If there comes a time when you resent your teacher, you have become your own teacher; and you must relinquish your expectations of such former teacher.

Resentment is the product of contempt and the ego; both of which are cataclysms. 

After contempt for a teaching ha been acknowledged, the ego presents itself. Regardless of the validity of the ego’s claim, the added contempt limits your judgement, creating learning barriers.

Be Slow To Be Angry

Anger does not produce the righteousness which God desires.

When you close your Bible without application, you are not doing the inner work required to dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven.

“When we are fast to anger, we are misinterpreting what the Kingdom of God stands for.”

R. Cecil

Practice Grace and Mercy

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,”

JAMES 1:19-26

Being Tested or Tempted?

“There is a vast difference between being tempted and being tested.”

Recognize the Difference Between being Tempted or being Tested.

“You’ve got to respond properly to temptation.”

“When you praise him in the physical, it releases angels on our behalf.”

“There is a vast difference between being tempted and being tested.”

“Be active in asking for wisdom.”

“What is wisdom?…. It is seeing through God’ perspective.
Wisdom is His vantage point.”

R. Cecil

Lift Up Your Hands

“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.”

1TIMOTHY 2:8-10

Posture

What you do with your physical body and posture grants communication with God.
– Pastor Richard Cecil

To Be Victorious In Spirit:

Comfort Yourself, First.

“As long as you obey with your physical body, you will be victorious in the spiritual world.”

R. Cecil

“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.”

MATTHEW 6:6-8

From the Hospital Bed:

“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.”

Not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not covetous.

What Is, “Freemasonry”?

“… a beautiful system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.”

Seeking Council

The “Answer,” one seeks is more simple than the question asked.

Are You Troubled?

As we seek council to acquire clarity amongst our confusion, the only true clarity we find can be described as a love for one’s self.

Time Defined

“Time” is defined by a general feeling.
While focusing on a certain experience,
Using definable paradigms,
This creates a, “general feeling.”
When it feels like, “day,” it is “daytime.”
During the quiet, darkness of night,
you focus on the crickets, the frogs
and the smell of the air.
It feels like, “nighttime”!
Time is not linear.

“Durations of time”
are simply general feelings
compiled to create an overall feeling,
known as an, “era”.
The end of an era is simply
the end of one overall feeling
and the beginning to one, other,
particular, general feeling.

Ostracizing Your Fellow Man

… Being employed by men who want to do it all themselves to show you that they don’t need you, that they can do it themselves, but, more importantly, (to them,) they think they are showing you that they are tougher and better than you are; when, in actuality, they are ignorant in ostracizing the very fellow-man which they, themselves, need in order to survive!
A farm is not run by one man; and a one man farm is a lonely, pitiful situation rather than a farm.

Lack of Population Control

The issue is that none of the work that I do right now builds something for the future.

you were working towards something in the end- a piece of the pie;

there is no reward-
Only thieves.

Snapshot

Introverts

“The highly sensitive tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions–sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear.
Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments–both physical and emotional–unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss–another person’s shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.”

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.

Benefits of Canabis

  1. “One hectare of cannabis releases as much oxygen as 25 hectares of forest. Cannabis grows in 4 months and trees in 20-50 years.
  2. From one hectare of cannabis you get the same amount of paper as 4 hectares of forest.
  3. Trees make recyclable paper 3 times while hemp makes recyclable paper 8 times. Hemp paper is the best and most durable.
  4. Hemp plants are a radiation trap. Cannabis plantations purify the air.
  5. Hemp can be grown anywhere in the world, it needs very little water. Furthermore, because it can defend itself from parasites, it doesn’t need pesticides.
  6. Hemp textiles outperform flax products on their own properties.
  7. Hemp is an ideal plant for producing edges, ropes, bags, shoes, hats…
  8. Cannabis is banned in Bulgaria. But technical cannabis does not contain a drug and can be cultivated freely.

The Story You Tell Yourself

“There are two ways of telling your story. One is to tell it compulsively and urgently, keep returning to it
because you see your present suffering
as the result of your past experiences.

But there is another way.

You can tell your story from the place where it no longer dominates you.
You can speak about it with a certain distance
and see it as the way
to your present freedom.”

Henri Nouwen

Living the Sins of The Dead

Arrogance/Pride is the Deadly Sin which is dragging the world around.


Some would assume it is Gluttony, because there are a lot of very, very overly-obese people ambling around; and those people are also being Greedy whilst over-eating the wrong things.


Lust tends to overcrowd the minds of men and women nowadays as sex buys a woman in a pretty dress a drink while the notion of that dress purchases a man’s whims, employing a no-refund policy.


Sloth slows the feet down of the people. They trudge around, displaying no purpose or inspiration during the hours of their public day.
Wrath- the most misunderstood sin of all, seems to be many people’s unguided, “somebody is shaking the jar,” motive. It is the notion of, “social justice,” in action.

Envy imprisons the minds of the less fortunate. People view others, not knowing what others have acquired, however, they want what others have- not knowing what that is!

You Are Not Alone

“Many, many men
have been just as troubled
morally and spiritually
as you are right now.”

“You’re not the first person
who was ever confused
and frightened
and even sickened
by human behavior.

You’re by no means alone
on that score.

Many, many men
have been just as troubled
morally and spiritually
as you are right now.

Happily, some of them
kept records of their troubles.
You’ll learn from them—
if you want to.

Just as someday,
if you have something to offer,
someone will learn
something from you.
It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education.
It is history.
It is poetry.”

J.D. Salinger

Mind of Change

“…some Student of The Great Mysteries is always eventually discovered amongst the people.”

Over time, people need different types of,… religious consultants to recalibrate their mental journey. In certain locations, the people need a priest or a minister.

At other times, in other places, a shaman, or medicine man, is sought after.

As in ISAIAH 65:1, these people do not directly ask for a minister or shaman; however, some Student of The Great Mysteries is always eventually discovered amongst the people.

Over time, people need different types of,… religious consultants to recalibrate their mental journey. In certain locations, the people need a priest or a minister. At other times, in other places, among other groups, a shaman, or medicine man, is sought after. As in ISAIAH 65:1, these people do not directly as for a minister or shaman; however, some student of The Great Mysteries is always eventually discovered amongst the people.
The two factors which separate the shaman, or Deacons, from the rest of the people are two fundamental characteristics:

Double Dipping

“Drink water from your own cistern,…”

“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.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.
She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.”

Wordless Groans

“And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit”

“We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to s0nship, the redemption of our bodies.

For in this hope we are saved.

But hope that is seen
is no hope at all.
Who hopes for what they already have?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have,
we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for,
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.”

ROMANS 8:22-27

Minor Peace

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

The loudest voice in the room is not usually the correct voice. The silence of the majority has its social benefit by virtue of compassion, however,

the silence and inaction of the majority is a fatal weapon against progress, survival and peace.

One person at a bar (a millennial,) talking loudly over others about how amazing or oppressed they are becomes annoying to the rest of the people at the bar.

It is unfortunate that society allows this!

The majority is silently annoyed, but nobody approaches the millennial to inform they that they are annoying everybody around them!
It seems, to maintain peace, the majority agrees to bear unpeaceful environments and succumb to actual abuse!

Of an entire nation aware that the government has overstepped its authority and function, no peaceful repose can be heard over the loudest, incorrect, most (not-at-peace) minority.

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

The Strife of the Smart Man

My Experience:

In a world where doing wrong is seen as being correct
and where being correct is treated as being revolutionary or argumentative,
those of us who have maintained our moral rectitude currently relate less and less to our fellow humans.
I have belabored, “The Dunning Kruger Affect,” to the extent of mocking my fellow man.

It confused and angered me. I did not know how to deal with people in my daily life in a cordial way anymore.
It felt like I was surrounded by idiots and that I was the only person who cared to make myself and the world around me better.

My good friend, Don Adams, explained it to me. Don said this to me:

“You are surrounded by grown men who have child’s minds.”

Don Adams

The Pareto Principle keeps bounding around inside my head. Realizing that there is no escaping this paradigm, this reality, I have sought coping mechanisms to attempt to maintain being courteous surrounded by a world of discourteous people. I have found no useful tools to dissuade my resentful knowing of these people.

THE WEB OF LIFE

“From her web, Grandmother Spider observed the first thoughts as the Universal Mind awakened from the dream. “

When the Universe was still so dark that not even shadows could be seen in the night, Grandmother Spider sat in her web in the Sky World, waiting and watching. No one knows how old Grandmother Spider is, or how long she sat waiting for the Universal Mind to awaken. But, every Creature Being who has ever lived knows her song and dance as the weaver of the Web of Life.

Why The Weak Are Now, “In Charge”

“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.”

Sober Judgement

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.

Mental processes induce physical processes.
Example:
Being annoyed tenses muscles.
Allowing yourself to stew in annoyance creates muscle memory which becomes physically stressful.

A Dent of Deed

…”the body, the mind, the spirit,
flows as does water.”…

It starts with the in-breath and begins in the out-breath.
The continuous cycle is it’s own revolution,
it’s own change.
Hardened by it’s own hardness,
the body, the mind, the spirit,
flows as does water.
Water can wear rock away
even though rock can stop water.
Perserverence of the flow
proves phusical changd-
Maybe just a dent,
of deed.

Upon my arrival,

and she had angry eyes.

She was pissed off.

“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!”

“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. Positive thought is always ready for society.

Knights’ Love of Meditation

“Recognize with gladness that we are neither lost, nor strangers to God, but one of His good creatures, and in our Temple we shall meet people from many nations and religions. There is no shame in seeking God; forget not when we ponder that God’s Temple is our own being. God will not look for us, but we first must seek Him. Each day, time must be put aside for meditation and prayers for our Order and its work.”

Ashlar

“Remember, brothers, that we are the descendants of the ‘Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ’ who first held their meetings in the precincts of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. We must contemplate the word and meaning of the Temple. Remember also that we are but rough stones and must continuously work to build our own Temple with the smooth stones within us.”

If the man ever acted the way that woman did, they would call him rude

Ignoring People

It is not normal to ignore people. It is an overt sign of disrespect.

He loaded a horse on to the trailer. As he exited the trailer, he said, “good morning!” to the driver’s girlfriend and daughter; but the women continued to lean-down petting a dog, ignoring the man.

It is the weak person’s way of seemingly maintaining dominance over other people. It is a shameful act of narcissism and selfishness. It is childish and petty. If the man ever acted the way that woman did, they would call him rude.

This is all because we live in a speculative world, and the operative people are shunned by weaker people.

more and longer right now more.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

OF THE
ORDER OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.


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.
