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.
