FILED UNDER: Why We Study the Seven Liberal Arts & Sciences BEFORE we study Metaphysics
You can't reasonably expect your metaphysical banter to have any
credibility when you have blatantly dismissed your physics study.
“Consequently he who wishes to attain
to human perfection, must therefore first study Logic, next the various
branches of Mathematics in their proper order, then Physics, and lastly
Metaphysics.”
“He, however, who
begins with Metaphysics, will not only become confused in matters of religion, but will fall into complete infidelity.”
The Irony of Inner Work is that you Find Inside Exactly What has been there All Along.
-------------- FOCUS! --------------
Freemasonry
is not designed
to change itself or any member within it,
that is,
other than to change them
to support its Initiating Systems.
It does
offer opportunities
to change yourself though.
Why not take advantage of
its opportunities
and make the best of it
and yourself?
-------------- PSA --------------
Brace Yourself!
-------------- MYTH --------------
"One
of the functions of mythology
is to present an image of the
in
such a way that it becomes
the carrier of this mystical realization,
so
that wherever you look
it’s as though you are looking at an icon,
a holy
picture,
and the walls of space and time
open out into the deep
dimension of mystery,
which is a dimension within ourselves,
as well as
out there.
"This
dimension can open through the science of today
even more wonderfully
than it opened
through the science of the second millennium B.C..
There
is absolutely no conflict
between science and the religious mood
or the
mythological realization
—but there is a conflict between
the science of
the twentieth century A.D.
and the twentieth century B.C..
This is what
we are getting in our religion,
because the whole thing became petrified
in the fourth century at the time of Theodosius
when the authority of
Byzantium
came down with St. Augustine
to establish the beliefs
that had
to be accepted.
From this came the petrifaction in our tradition
and
the split between the scientific
and the religious view."

Enlightening the Worthy |and Busying Ruffians for near three Centuries!
-------------- LOGIC DICTATES... --------------
-------------- BEST THEORY YET! --------------
"Coach, I've just been through most of 'Free Men'. It's the best theory
for understanding the real foundations of Masonry and Freemasonry I have
ever seen or read. It sets everything into motion. I can see how it
must precede 'The Craft Unmasked!' It's gonna be hard for some to
swallow the theory... but it is by far the best one yet!" -- Bro. David
Moran
