Very understandable. It will help your studies to remember that many of the concepts and even terminology are often rooted in ancient philosophies and may have very different connotations in the modern world. This can often create confusion for someone just beginning to research.
This tag line alone makes me want to read it, 'This book shows that, despite rumours of demon dwarfs, piano-playing crocodiles and world domination, the real story of the Freemasons is one of male eccentricity.'
Just picked it up on Amazon. Looking forward to the read.
How do you reconcile that with the most common definition of Freemasonry that can be found virtually everywhere the Craft is discussed, "Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory, and taught by symbols." Though I wholeheartedly agree that actions are louder than words. Acta non Verba.
Discussion of morals is never secret. Freemasonry is only one of countless systems that works to promote morality among its members. I wouldn't even call them Masonic Morals. They are simply morals that anyone can apply to their life, whether a member of the Craft or not. The only real secrets...
When I was a NMJ SR member you almost never saw a black cap. Only the KCCH and 33rds I saw regularly wore caps. Are you saying you asked your Valley Secretary and he didn't know? That seems odd.
I assume you are referring to the First Testament of the Illuminati. If you want to actually engage a discussion on the subject, then make a new post about what you want to discuss. People here will discuss it I am sure, though I doubt you will find many proponents. Ive seen long debates on more...

Are you asking how to become a Freemason? Your profile says you are located in Dubai. I don't know of any regular lodges operating there other than military ones that you would not be able to access unless you were stationed there. Freemasonry is not well liked in many predominantly Muslim...
You assert that Freemasonry is a "science" which doesn't always work even if we are directed to study the arts and sciences. Our Order is not, itself, a science. Science ≠ Morality.

Michael, I strongly advise against putting your email out there on posts. Less than savory characters could use it for malicious activities. Aave that for private messages.

You followed your conscience and I can't say I disagree with you or would have behaved differently. If the degree can not be put on correctly due to safety concerns, then the prudent course should be to postpone it.
