(Freemason) Secrets and Trust

[beautifulmind546]

@mariusdire If the aim of masonry is to treat all people on the same level then why are their degrees within the fraternity where certain degrees have superiority and private knowledge from the lower degrees? It was also some of the most famous masons who fully supported slavery and the near genocide of the native americans.

[mariusdire]

@beautifulmind546 While I can't comment so much on the American brethren as it not my area of knowledge I can't think of any English proponents of slavery and the American lodges at one point were in fact considered irregular by UGLE. As for the degrees, one degree prepares for the next, the knowledge of the first prepares for the second and so on. Plus as the aim of masonry is to help make someone better that can't be done in one stage.

[mariusdire]

@mariusdire Sorry to run on but ran out of space. Imagine a person as a stone block just cut in the quarry, it takes more than one stage and more than one tool to shape it properly. So it take more than one stage for a person to improve, you start with a basic shaping and drawing attention to basic aspects to improve. Over here it's not so much superiority, they've been in longer and know a bit more and it's their job to pass that knowledge on to the newer members.

Google "Brothers in the Shadows"

[beautifulmind546]

What is the official Masonic views on slavery?

[mariusdire]

@beautifulmind546 Seeing as the aim of masonry is to treat all people squarely and act on the level I'd have to say from my understanding that it is against it in all its forms. Certainly in more modern times, after all regular masonry accepted former slaves as brothers during the 1700's.

[davidfes99]

how rich are masons

please tell me.

[MattNicholson7]

@davidfes99 As rich as they serve the demons. The demons give them fame and fortune and power.

[mariusdire]

@MattNicholson7 I'm sorry but you are sorely mistaken. Seeing as talk of religion is banned within the lodge I fail to see how anything of that sort is even possible even were entities such as demons real.

[mariusdire]

@davidfes99 No more or less than anyone else, there are rich men and poor men. I work night shift in a supermarket and make enough to just get by and give a little bit to those even worse off, there are those in my lodge who are managers within multinationals and give a great deal more. It's not what or how much you have, it's doing something charitable for someone else within your abilities.

[SororThothma]

So in regard to the religious preference of a Mason, does one have to be a Christian, or be a direct member of a mainstream religion; or can a Mason have a more philosophical, more esoteric concept of Divinity? I ask this because religious bigotry/hegemony is rife in my area and the idea that the local Masons (being drawn from the same local stock) are as dogmatically myopic and spiritually intolerant does not do much to incline me to "ask one to be one."

[stybarrow]

can black men be high level masons ? are there any ?

[Tigerman1138]

@stybarrow Of COURSE THEY CAN! There are plenty in many states, nations, cities, and communities all over the world.

[ihaveairlockers]

Yes, of course. Many are so....

If you are black you are welcome to join.

Inside, everyone is a brother !

[stybarrow]

thank you, i am curious about the Masons due to all the buzz nowadays. by the way, while i am suspicous of certain Masons (past and present), i have no doubts that the large majority are righteous folks. and we could probably say the same about FIFA, USMC, etc and any organization comprised of human beings.

[MasonicEyes]

@stybarrow Barack Obama?

[VincentsVideoVisions]

@stybarrow Jesse Jackson is the only black man to have a statue in Washington D.C. and that's because he is a 33rd degree (or higher) freemason.

[ihaveairlockers]

I am a FreeMason.

I am about to expose to you the biggest and most hidden secret in Masonry.

The greatest secret never told is that of the journey each mason takes in his masonic career/education. Each mason takes whatever he likes and desires from the lodge. Every mason is different. Every mason is individual and gets out of masonry what he puts into it. Each mason is personally effected in a different way during ceremonies and degree work.

The above is the greatest secret.

[Tigerman1138]

@ihaveairlockers Well put brother.

[opentolife]

Okay, so this may be a stupid question, but I can't figure out what the big deal is with all the 'conspiricy' stuff surrounding the Freemasons. Why do you need a society to spread light? And why only men? Anyone know?

[Tigerman1138]

It is a fraternity. At colleges and universities all over the world there are ONLY men frat houses and ONLY women sorority houses.

For the record---there are female Masons...they simply are known as "The Order of the Eastern Star"

[GoldenEars69]

There is also a lesser known Universal Order which is for both men and women. Its affiliation is limited compared to others, I understand.

[AquariaSpirit]

Is 0:25 a subliminal message? lol. I might join when I'm 18.

[Tigerman1138]

I love this ad! Even though I joined through a close friend, teacher, and someone who is quite respected by me I would have loved this ad. It captivates me now, makes me look forward to more.

[carlosrawr]

hmmm i wonder what the secret is, nothing to do with the new world order im sure :) nice video BROTHER

[Tigerman1138]

I just became a Master Mason. Ask me what the secret is.

[carlosrawr]

lol entretain me:) whats the secret?

[carlosrawr]

lol no reply

[eddiedaskull]

ok what is the secret?

[Tigerman1138]

Find out if you have it within yourself to become one. That is the secret!

[classicalgirl01]

Im sure. God knows you may not be doing anything, but you are sworn to secrecy and know the dirty schemes of the Freemasons to control the world and begin another world war. Stop fooling yourself. Freemasonry is a dirty, scheming secret society

[Tigerman1138]

You strike me as the kind of person who voted for Obama...because you're so smart and free-thinking...only to find he's quite a Leftist. Or perhaps you're fringe right... both sides have FOOLISH and OVER ACTIVE imaginations. You read a website, hear something, and then believe it for yourself. Find a local Masonic chapter, visit an open house, and perhaps speak to some real members. You want to find dirty things? Look up SKULL AND BONES. That's a SECRET SOCIETY.

[Roachross2]

LoL suck a dick

[freemason98]

@classicalgirl01

if it was secret you wouldn't know about it....or do you really believe that you've stumbled on the truth here at youtube?

[vingedheart]

@freemason98 Of course the depths of it is not on youtube - because it is all written in codes. You may read a book and think you know what's in it - but only the initiates knows how to read it proberly.

[freemason98]

@eddiedaskull

shhhhh I can't tell.......

[eddiedaskull]

@freemason98

yeah yeah how to be a mason

shhhh it is really not a secret
