    What is Kabbalah?

    By Tzvi Freeman Kabbalah: That which is received. That which cannot be known through science or intellectual pursuit alone. An inner knowledge that has been passed down from sage to student from the earliest of times. A discipline that awakens awareness of the essence of things. We enter...

    Increasing Degree Fees

    actually GL does not care to know degree fee or dues amount so long as they abide by GL law which is what you posted above. Kinda weird GL let you have GL law in your By-Laws? But it is a motion and a vote. Some lodges by-laws say it has to be in writing and lay over for a month but if your...

    Question about District Instructors

    I got nothing against the DI coming to my lodge and telling I am doing great or horrible but it seems to cause a state wide stink over a bunch of nothing. MY lodge required I get certified by the DI before I took office. They did not even care I was all ready certifiable. ;)

    From what we hear in Ft Worth a good majority of PHA brothers want full recognition.

    Now you do what they told you!

    I find it comforting and yet disturbing at the same time of our obedience to authority. This video shows the ease one can enforce one's will upon another especially if that person has any kind of authority. http://videosift.com/video/The-Original-Milgram-Experiment-1961

    God and the Universe

    you are correct we made the term "sound" to describe that energy but now apply that same line of thinking to making the energy as well. Are you understanding now? There is no way to prove that a tree makes a sound if nothing is around to observe the sound you can believe it does but how can...

    What issues are important to you?

    Education without a doubt. If you educate yourself worries and troubles seem to melt away. Knowledge is the ultimate in power. Educating ourselves on the Prince Hall Issue seems to cause a ton of confusion in about the temple. Brother Dave I am curious to the DI mention the name of his...

    Regular Grand Lodge of Texas

    evil non-masons :) , wait why do we care? I always think it is a bunch of guys that where tired of the political BS in their original frat so they made their own. Anyway I bet they give away scholarships as well, isn't that what makes us good masons?

    Question about District Instructors

    yea that is normal as the Brothers said for the shake of peace and harmony he will only come if asked but be ready for a die hard ritualist to help you get it right. Most lodges do not like to be told their way is wrong so they wait till invited. We invited ours many times and one thing I...

    Same-sex marriage will hurt families, society

    Gay or straight, it is all love to me. I do disagree that marriage is for kids though. That is partly why we have a 50% divorce rate now. Get married have kids, kids grow up then marriage loses its purpose and so you get divorced. I personally got married because I met a woman that takes my...

    God and the Universe

    Read about Erwin Schrodinger's thought experiment. It is all about what observation can do to reality. Even if you record the tree falling this experiment explains the possibility that the tape is blank with no sound until we listen to it.! Quantum Physics is proving observation changes the...
