Masonic Tyranny

To all those who read this blog: my post below was written before I had a chance to check the recent postings from other blogs over at King's Solomon's Lodge.

My post below was not directed at any other blogger, but was a personal reflections as they occurred to me. Please do not misconstrue my comments in that post.

As for the situation in West Virginia, I will say only this: The tenets of Freemasonry are Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. Above all of these is truth. There comes a time when regardless of the penalty, one must speak truth to power, even if those in power do not wish to hear that truth.

Freemasonry is greater than any one man. Freemasonry is the eternal quest to fulfill our destiny as both rational and spiritual beings. Anything else is secondary. I will not speak to the particulars in West Virginia. I do not have sufficient information to do so. I will only say that no one of us is more important than all of us together.

When I was a member of a college fraternity, they gave us a short talk about the indespensible man. They advised putting your arm in a bucket of water, then taking it out. The hole that is left is the amount you will be missed.

That, I think, is a thought worthy of meditating upon.

Take due notice, govern yourself accordingly.
