DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW.
As I search for a point of departure, replaying events and
experiences andconversations and readings from my short Masonic
history, Im rememberingthat the spiritual decline, the cheapening
of the Ceremonies, Rituals, andSymbols into the commonest of
interpretations, mere formalities leading up-to carnal (but not
unnecessary) festive boards, began (excuse me while Iunderstate)
before my time. When the first Grand Lodge of the recorded erawas
founded in London, e.v. 1717, the dominance of the social aspects
of
the Fraternity had already begun. I am certain that, when so
many kings andnobles took the Oaths, their dues outweighed any real
Masonic Knowledgethey may or may not (emphasis on NOT) have had,
along with any realCeremonial or other Spiritual successes they may
or may not have had.Their choice of taverns and pubs as Lodge Rooms
didnt help the furtheranceof Self-growth, and certainly downgraded
the quality of the Work. While theCraft does still help Us in
maintenance of momentum in the Social andPolitical half of Our
Effort toward the New World Order, it is the mostneedful half, the
Spiritual half, the Initiatory half that is nigh unto missing.That
the Ceremonies and Lectures and Symbols have come down to us in
any kind of intelligible and useful condition is a Jewel in the
Crown of theTrue Founders and Fathers of FreeMasonry, Whomever They
may Be. Asshallow, unthinking, unworthy men used Masonry as purely
social, repeatingthe Words and Motions as mere formality, the Truth
veiled therein waitedand waits for Men Who are Worthy and Willing
and Zealous to uncover forThemSelves and, eventually, for others,
the hidden Wisdom, the Lost Word.For now, the True Fraternity
groans for the Day when the Light ressurrectsthis Giant Hibernating
Sanctuary; while the Disgusting Corpse of Xianity liesheavily,
grafted where it does not belong, choking and weakening the
Craft,but unable to kill It!!!
Presently, Masonry is experiencing dwindling enrollment. Men
have otheroccupations. Many Masons are worried we are seeing the
beginning of theend. But I believe Masonry has yet to see Her
Finest Hours. In the 1830s,owing to the Morgan Affair (In shorta
disgruntled Mason, Morgan,disappeared. Masons said he was escorted
to Canada. Others said hedbeen murdered by Brethren. The profane
court found no Masonic wrong-

doing.), there was a political party formed, called The
Anti-Masonic Party;Lodges closed by the thousands. In time, the
Fraternity went on to be largerand stronger than ever. In view of
that, the Craft has a good chance ofsurvival. Here, in Indy, two
brand new Lodge buildings have recently beenerected. Our Freemasons
Hall is newly restored. Our Scottish RiteCathedral, the greatest
Scottish Rite facility, arguably the greatest Edifice ofMasonry, in
the World, an Officially listed National Historic Site, a
Priceless
Jewel, is continually updated. Despite Xian persecution (I was a
victimmyselfTHANK HORUS for Freedom), our Charities are gaining
exposure,and community groups are renting our spaces for their
events, spreadingawareness of Our Value to the Cause of Human
Evolution and Brotherhood.In Central Jersey, a brand new Scottish
Rite Cathedral was finished this year.So complete extinction seems
unlikely.
HOWEVER...The VAST majority of Master Masons, so called, are
only so in name, eitherSpiritually Oblivious or addicted to the
Great Sorcery. It is true that, asAlbert Pike indicates in Morals
and Dogma..., the Truth is veiled, leavingthe subtle Meanings to
the Attentive and Worthy. But, claiming to makeMasters, the
Leadership should do more to, at least, hint strongly at theDeeper
Interpretations. The timidity and fear bred by the
persecutingprofane Xian establishment is more sickening and
degrading each passingday. Added to the ASSinine cut-&-paste
Xianizing of the Rituals andSymbols, well... It makes one want to
cry. The Point within the Circle,
bordered by two Parallel Lines, has been saddled on top by the
Bible; sonow they explain that the Point is the Mason, the Circle
his Proper Bounds ofConduct, the Lines THE TWO SAINTS JOHN. This
does quietly allude to theTruth. Theres NO mention of the Vile X.
But now, the Time has come longago, to reveal the Right Light
contained in the Symbols, to Work the Magickthat was intended to
take place in the Beautiful Blue Craft Lodge, to begin aPath of
Evolution, BACK to the Future. An immediate product would bepainful
struggle; but the vast majority of Brethren AND those yet to
joinwould recognize and joyfully embrace the Beautiful Freedom of
PureReligion.
As an example of the Flurry to grab new dues-payers:To admit men
who have no inclination to think, learn, Work Spiritually, theCraft
in many parts of the U.S.A. have begun holding One-Day Classes.
Inthe past, all a man had to do to be vested with the Third Degree,
the SublimeDegree of a Master Mason, was to be led through the
ghosts of once-GreatCeremonies and memorize some chatechistical
Orations, over a period of

three months... easy enough. Now, forget Toiling for the Honor.
Sit withhundreds of Candidates from around the State, watch an
Exemplar gothrough the motions, you recite the Oaths... VOILA!!!
Youre a MasterMason, ready to join the Scottish Rite and the Shrine
for party-time--justdont forget your Dues! Dont misunderstand. I
Love the Craft. I Love theScottish Rite. I plan to join the Shrine.
I highly recommend it to allKindred. And all the Bodies need
financing from members. Indy is thelargest Scottish Rite Valley in
the World. Indy is the largest Shrine Divan inthe World. Im also
proud of those things. But the Primary Work, theSpiritual Work,
MUST resume. Thats up to Thelemites to Infuse. We holdthe Sturdiest
Keys to the Hidden Ignition of the Monstrous Masonic Machine.I urge
Us All to help claim the Heritage that is Rightfully OURS.
MasonrysFounders deserve the Best Efforts of the Occult Community
in general,Thelemites specifically, as the Children of the New
Aeon, to make certain
Our Efforts, or their lack, are not what lets FreeMasonry die.
Our LordTherion knew and validated that there is Something to be
saved in Masonry.He was a 33 Scottish Rite Mason. He used an
O.T.O.--which, at that time,was a Regular Masonic Body--as His
Vehicle. But, He also had, by then,learned the lessons I announce
to The Ordergoing so far as to compareRosicrucian Masons to the
Whited Sepulchres called Pharisees, allbeit withCups and Platters
by substitution (Liber ABA, Part III, Ch. XII).
If You Will, Brothers... Join. Unite. Inspire. Revive.
On Women:I am NOT of the mind that the Ban on Female Members
should remain. Todo Complete Work, We NEED the Scarlet Whore. It is
Beyond Essential.Our (hypothetical) Influence can also change
this!
If We can quicken the Sleeping Giant, begin to utilize the
existing Machineryof FreeMasonry, Our Unstoppable Advance will
Accelerate exponentially.
In any case, may the True Beast 666 and the Scarlet Whore Live
and ThriveEternally!!! NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM!!!
LOVE IS THE LAW, LOVE UNDER WILL.
