It’s a connection to eternity

Great article in the Boston Phoenix on Freemasonry and the all-seeing eye of rock and roll.”

Below are just a few of the quotes

The Masons of Amicable Lodge have tattoos curling out from under their button-down shirts. They wear giant rings and waist aprons that look like oversize satin envelopes. They wear ties and medals and amulets. They carry staffs. Each month, they gather to practice secret rituals in Porter Square.

“A lot of people become involved in music because they’re looking for something higher — or to get girls, which is something higher,”…”It’s looking for that thing that’s bigger than you — the first time you hear the Ramones on the radio, it’s that spiritual thing.”

[Free]Masonry fills that need

“We’re born, get old, and die, but the rituals remain the same. It’s a time machine. It’s a connection to eternity.”

I really like that analogy, its a great perspective.

A devoted student of the Western Mystery Traditions, Greg is a firm believer in the Masonic connections to the Hermetic traditions of antiquity, its evolution through the ages and into its present configuration as the antecedent to all contemporary esoteric and occult traditions. He is a self-called searcher for that which was lost, a Hermetic Hermit and a believer in “that which is above is so too below.” Read more about Greg Stewart.

  1. Freemasons never die, they just dimit. The Spirit of Hiram never dies, it just reincarnates. The Celestial Lodge Above has no doors, so don’t bother to knock.
    The sun at meridian height is with you wherever on earth you may be.
    If the sun sets upon you, remember, its only a signal of a new sunrise.
    If a brother does you wrong, just remember, we shall meet again.
    If a person stikes you at the throat, be reminded of your feedom of speech,
    If a persons strikes you at the heart. be remnded of your freedom of conscience,
    If a person strikes you upon your head, be reminded of your freedon of thought.

    With brotherly Love, Hiram Art.
