FILED UNDER: I Have a Secret

 

 

Profane: [cocky voice] I know a whole bunch of your secrets!
Freemason: Ah! So you haven't yet found out what happens to non-members who let us know they have Freemasonic secrets?
 
Profane: [panicking voice] {swallows hard) Just kidding! Really... just a bad joke! Seriously!
Freemason: What did you say your name was?

Masons have Secrets not out of fear but because they have done the Work that allows for such Secrets to be revealed to them. They keep these Secrets to themselves not because they must but because those who have yet to do the Work cannot possibly see them, even though these Secrets are plainly seen by those who have done the Work. Masons do not share these Secrets out of a conscious choice not to share them; they do not share them because such Secrets refuse to be seen by those who are untrained — such individuals are blind to them. Masons know that these Secrets protect themselves from those who seek them wrongly. That is the nature of Secrets and having them cultivates this most base understanding! 
 
You have a true Secret when it can be revealed openly and plainly and those who are untrained do not recognize it. If they do see what you make effort to put forth, and they are untrained, then what you truly have is a contrived ploy designed to both satisfy and divert the attention of the untrained.
