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.”

R. Cecil

Preacher Wearing a Gold Chain

A Minister Wearing Gold Is Not a Righteous Man.

“We are not afraid to Bless people!”
-Brother Richard Cecil

Wearing a gold necklace whilst preaching about the Bible and passing the donations plate around is pure vanity, not tithing, and is void of physical obedience. (See JAMES 5:2-6)

Chaplains’ Actions

Any Chaplain is a Bishop, and this is how We should comport ourselves:

“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.

What is the Answer against Evil?

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.

Chip Van Hassel

“Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.”

“Women use sex as a magical power- a power which men do not possess. This phenomena has ravaged our culture…. …

…“active-passive-aggression,” which could be described as building(/being) the bridge upon which, “resting bitch face,” hath transmuted into, “active-bitch-face,”

Sex is only a Game for most women but seems to be the meaning of life for most men!

How many women in your circle know how to bake a loaf of bread from scratch or how to potty-train an infant?”

Two Reasons Why Women Wearing Sexy Pants Is Corrupting Our Culture.

For many women, today, sex is the only thing they have to offer!

Did women ever wear mini skirts in the 1930’s,… why not?

We are living in an overly-sexualized culture where women walk around wearing spandex- which is the equivalent to a woman wearing a short skirt in the 1930’s!

Let Us Quote:
“…I also want women to dress mosdestly, 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.”

Women use sex as a magical power- a power which men do not possess. This phenomena has ravaged our culture to the point of devolving us into camel riders, again!

Ceremony Has It’s Purpose

What Is, “Freemasonry”?

“… 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:

Royal Order of Knights Templar

Words Between Brothers

… Of Doug Kindred:

We Exchanged These Words Lovingly:




When Chip first saw Doug it was when Doug gave a short sermon during a Sunday morning service at the Ocala Farm Ministry church.

On the phone, with Mr. Kindred,

months later. Chip said this:

“When I first met you, I hated you, because you were so White-bred, … I hated you!”

“I know; …and I own it!”

The New Masonic Oath

“…. Finding out that someone you know is a Freemason used to be a later step in developing a personal relationship with them; NEVER the opening of a friendship with somebody whom you have just met!

This juxtaposition has completely corrupted the Craft! …”

What is Different about Freemasonry Today?


The Freemasonic attitude towards his fellow man has changed from Fear of a Greater Power to an Ego-based display of stupidity! Why do I say that?

The Charge:

The Craft Has Been Corrupted… But HOW?:

This is how… ask yourself this question:

“How Do You Spot a Fellow Brother in the Crowd?”

Pave the Way for our Grandchildren

The human mind is ruled-over by good and evil.

Let us not feed the fire of evil and scorch the land of our grandchildren, but be fruitful and lay vibrant, loving, true seed for them to sew.

Do we choose Truth or do we choose the Status Quo of stupidity and ruin?

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.

Seeking the answer from an outside source seems ludicrous after the fact, because the answer is accepted from inside our own heart, beaming-outwardly, not from the outside of our body, beaming-inwardly!

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

Be the Beam of Light

When asking How to help others, she said,

“You cannot help anybody;

The Conspiracy of Santa Clause

A Message to Aspiring Brethren:

The Now Civil War

“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.”

Arthur Edward Waite; Doctrine and Literature of the Kabala (page 116)
The Now Civil War

As it says in the Bible, in the book of MATTHEW:

The Divergent Talk

“Let the Righteous Smite Me!”

PSALM 141:5

Doing nothing at a time when nothing can be done has never been my strongpoint. Being a man who cares about reforming culture to some moral rectitude of accountability has been an exhausting mental exercise of futility.
To say that society has lost its responsibilities is a gross understatement! Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington and James Madison all have one attribute in common. Let us call that characteristic, “Redemption”.

Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.

And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.”

And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said,

“Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

Bearing Witness

You Cannot Witness Yourself.

“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.”

JOHN 5:31-32

Of a man who chooses not to see the light, neither all the books in the world may enlighten him; and for a man who sees the light, a single word is too much!
As we are surrounded by (and ruled by,) self-deceiving people, the only recompense is to constantly and instantly forgive them.

Be an example of the Great Light which shineth from above.

This Movie

I saw this movie when I was 23 and thought, “Man, what a lunatic!”

I saw it at 33 and thought, “I mean, I guess he might have a point in there somewhere, but still – that’s insane.”

At 43, it became “Well, ok. I kind of get it, now. A bit extreme, but I get it.”

Today at 53? “I have no problem with anything this man is doing”

A Letter Written to a Lost Friend

Cold water hardens wax
to form shape.

A shadow is cast,
from a candle’s light,
flickering in a fleeting moment.

Without a Candle,
Marylin would have never seen
the wind blow.
Without darkness,
the moon would not wax.

Dark as her sudden silence seemed,
and as remarkable as JFK’s birthday, song’s tease,
the wick of the candle is sometimes trimmed away.

Lack of Value

People who do not value your time

When a person does not value your time, they do not respect you.

Those who do not value your time see the lack of value within themselves and are compensating.

Public Service Announcement:

Treating a person’s time as less important than your own is Covert Narcissistic Abusive behavior.

Narcissists get their energy by finding a victim to abuse; then they destroy that victim’s life.

Your “Why?”

If so, why?

Does your original, “why,” still suit you?

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.

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.

Narcissistic Managers

The Narcissistic Boss Will:

They create an unproductive work environment, then, blame it on the employees. Over time, this drains people’s souls and creates a low-level, low-paying workplace. They take away your value on purpose, and manipulate to make it appear that they display more value than you by explaining something that is menial at best.

Inflation is a Lie.

We send, “money,” to Ukraine but send words to the Middle East. Imagine how foolish people are right now, believing that inflation is a real thing. Think about it: if we printed “too much” money, nobody would refuse it saying, “that money isn’t worth anything because there is too much it it.” … how STUPID are people to believe that “inflation,” is a cause and effect scenario? Inflation is simply lying about the value of a piece of paper and saying that a banana is worth more of those pieces of paper, as the result of having too many of those pieces of paper!

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.

Dakkuan

Lack of Population Control

The issue is that none of the work that I do right now builds something for the future.
A man pays me,
and he’s done with me;
and all of my work leaves me with nothing.

It used to be,
when you work,
you were working towards something in the end- a piece of the pie;
however,
nowadays,
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.”

Pepe, a nice Guatemalan man, the assistant trainer for Kelly R., gave me permission to sleep in the office at the barn for one night; but he told me to be careful of the cameras, because nobody is allowed to sleep there. I slept there for two nights. Early, in the morning, after the second night,

Then Jesus told his disciples,

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return
for his soul?

Path of the Righteous Horseman

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.

Japhy’s Correspondence

Lone traveler, as I always have been, machete in hand, whip in the other, torn between the two worlds, I swim deeply in the shallow waters of the minds of people- people who pass me by and leave me be, run away from me and avoid my suggestive nature.
