π€ I did a quick scour/peek/searchπ§ to find not too many post on "Fellowship" exists on this forum. π³π²π₯Ίπ
Sometimes I would like to come here and shoot the sh*t. Not to offend the good men or their online-lodge/house/gathering spot, it just feels too "blue-lodgy" here. From what I gather The blue lodge is practically "all work no play" and "Get back to studying boy if ya wanna be a man!" maybe?π€£
Perhaps... I may be misunderstood in my learning. If so I apologize. π I've also learned that PM's were predominantly "grumpy old assholes"....I can't say that I haven't met a couple of these types of guys in my day but hey..."they are men of light", hey, cheer up! π Right paul?..... π so also..I don't know how many of you old fuddy-duddies are still on a computer or not so sorry if your browser doesn't pick up on some of these emoji characters and just looks like goofy symbols.
Still, a place for any member old/new to come and talk on a...."normal level" at the end of a shit-storm of a day and just say something along the lines of.....
"Whats good fellas?"
Or
"How the hell are ya, wife and kids doing well?"
Yeah ....so I dunno. I"m sure it wouldn't be an everyday thing for most. Just a thread to see how the other half are living(thriving) I guess. If not....if by chance that this forum is of an "all work no play" nature then by all means delete this post and forget I mentioned it. π€£ have a great day yall. π₯°
Certainly you are welcome to post personal events. I quite often post personal experiences that seem to me to contain useful learnings, as a record for me and in case they are relevant to someone else.
Some of the regular posters are older/single/divorced so do not have so many family issues to report.
I understand completely an will also try (as I have been) to tune down the foul language. As of late I feel as if I'm starting to balance out. I'm almost certain that I'm not too crazy. Surrounding family members are not too convinced that I've not split my peel.
I have a tendency to try and revert back and tell them that "I'm just kidding " or I'm as you guys so elegantly put it "writing a book" and get those raised eyebrow and rolling eyes as if you have just told them that you were elected president.
So then there's that stuff. My sons, who I can not lie to(yet still I refrain from discussing too many topics)think I'm bout gone and well....shit. I'm about ok with it because it makes the most since. But where are all the old "brothas" at? Or the minorities. I see a lot of the Caucasian race, but not of others. This raises concern in my heart for my brothers of color, yet still of the flame.. it blinds me with all of the hidden profile pictures here on the forum so I too removed my picture. If you are seasoned (possibly) power abled beings, then why all of this hidden nature? If the world is almost "altering " by your abilities...then why the existence of darkness in the first place. Hahahaha, sorry I know I run off topic so often.
Just relaxing the night away as my sons drift off to sleep. Have a wonderful night all.

Nautical expressions occur occasionally in Masonry, perhaps reflecting that the Templar battle fleet escaped - and continued to use the flag showing Osiris risen
Well if a message is gonna get screwed up, I'm glad its on the "hang out and talk shit" thread. Hahaha or as the Brazilians would say huahuahua π€£
I'm so sorry, but what was the message? I get distracted easily and seem to have missed the gist. Sorry you got raped; it happened to me too. But, it appears that my prison was only a fabrication. Some have to go further than others. I hope you have taken steps to let go of that stuff.
I know a great teacher who can help if you are interested.
btw....take a few tokes for me. Seriously, at least 3
I suppose maintaining secrets has a certain element of temptation. However, if we live as if the Creator reigns over all then we understand that nothing escapes his Field of Vision. Maybe I got a watered-down version of the roots of masonry, not real sure. I thought the purpose was laid out pretty well. Though, I probably missed something from burning out brain cells (all those drunken nights of debauchery) Personally, I don't mind the burning of the dross. It simplifies everything. They told me in AA about Keeping it simple, so lately I have been more willing to surrender to the refining fire. Painful and often uncomfortable, but well, I wouldn't want to do anything in private that I would not do directly in front of my Lord.
What's so intriguing is watching people like me and you figure out we are being observed.
If you have read the 21 Steps thread you will have seen that the sequence is based on dropping dense energies and thus the behaviors that go with them.
Enlightenment occurs when:
- sufficient dense etheric, emotional and mental matter have been shed (thus including much karmic material) - there is alignment/resonance with the intelligence (solar angel) that operates the soul body formed from the higher mental subplanes - there is an intent to the oneness of all - alignment of some celestial influences and sponsors.
Then the human personality becomes transparent to flows of Light from On High.
The process of discarding the dense emotional and mental substance can be quite traumatic for the personality. It is having to give up its ego and surrender to the greater Light.
