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
… 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!”
Doug Kindred
“…. 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?

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.

“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.”
