Freemasonic Discovery List (so far…)



The List

 

I was reminded today of the rich path on which I have been blessed with since 2001.  Much of my work since that time has been Freemasonic Forensic based.  Unlike many who join this wonderful organization, I came upon the Freemasonic scene and recognized fairly quickly that there were many mysteries to be solved and not one person to do the necessary Work to sort it out. 

I’ve started to reflect upon some of the more “major” finds I have shared and have started listing them below - in no particular order - things that were never answered to my satisfaction and whose explanations, offered by well meaning members, that were offered in the past simply didn't hold up - until I did my own research. 
Looking upon the list, I am grateful that I had not sat idle in my activities or stop when someone offered something that was only conjecture offered as fact.
I've chosen to share it. Why?  Because I know there are other Brothers seeking the Light I sought and if any of these things listed herein are of interest, they know that someone has traveled down that path and has published the associated research.
