    The focus must be on attracting brothers of genuine heart and sincere will, not those drawn by public image or superficial curiosity. Secrecy is vital to preserving the integrity of the teachings and the depth of the rituals. Freemasonry has always been about inner work and personal transformation, not public approval. True seekers come because they resonate with the values and purpose, not because of a polished public image. Remain steadfast in principles, valuing quality over quantity. Lead by example, let the works speak for themselves. Sustainability is about conserving valuable capital gained. Then grow organically for ages to come. Vivant!

      Absolutely agree, I’ve been to a few events where I think “how did this arrogant prick get in?” 🤔
      Whenever I’m chatting to someone and they ask me: “what’s the benefits if I join?”
      I tell them; “there are no benefits, masonry is about what you can give not get!”
      They soon lose interest and I know he’s not prepared.
      My American mates have said they learn very little about masonry anymore. They said it’s been turned into a charity and BBQ club.
      I’m happy to say Asia has remained original in its teachings and values.

      True seekers are zealous for righteousness. I've yet to find true seekers - I didn't see any step up against the covid madness, as hermetic truths were weaponized in the largest marketing campaign this world has ever seen. They masked kids with dirty cloths 8 hrs a day in school, so called good men did nothing..
      Masonry can be reconstructed the proper way with biblical understanding, zeal, kabbalah and alchemy. I've keyed open the English language without swearing oaths, which are against the advice of christ.

    I'm one of those dreaded 'New World Order' peddlers, however my interest in Freemasonry is genuine and nuanced. I would love to see an episode dedicated to Co-Freemasonry or Le Droit Humain, if you've made one already it has passed me by.

    Fantastic video and paper!
    It’s challenging to comment on Freemasonry as a whole since it encompasses such a vast fraternity, where one province might be thriving while another struggles. As a young, committed brother, I’ve concluded that the ‘New Architect’ of 21st-century Freemasonry must seek out like-minded brothers, lodges, and adjacent orders, rather than becoming disillusioned by fighting unwinnable battles. We are the future! And by 'we,' I mean anyone who cares about the future of Freemasonry. The modern form (i.e., once-a-month ceremonies with a festive board and ... nothing else) of Freemasonry seems to be fading. At this rate, we might as well just set up a dining club with a secret handshake!
    While there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the festive board (who doesn’t love a good three-course meal and a glass of port?), it sometimes feels like we've become "The Ancient and Honorable Order of Fork and Knife," with a monthly side of cryptic toasts. For all the reverence we give to tradition, it's ironic how often the “traditional” components of ritual and deeper study end up on the back burner. If we’re going to revive Freemasonry, maybe we should start by cutting back on the roast beef and reintroducing the philosophy.
    I’ve had the fortune of meeting a handful of brethren-often in prestigious lodges or even connecting with high-ranking brothers from associated orders-who genuinely uphold Masonic ideals. I found them inspiring and dedicated to the future of the Craft. I always encourage newer Masons to reach out and connect; my experiences have shown that if you’re committed and serious, you’ll find quality allies to support you at the start of your journey. Perhaps Freemasonry needs to return to a more understated, even underground, existence to reawaken its essence and bring back the spark that makes it truly special.
    After all, Masonry was never meant to be a "dinner-and-a-ceremony" type of organization. It was intended as a journey-one that’s shared among brethren with a genuine thirst for enlightenment and personal growth. If we’re serious about staying relevant, it might just be time to hang up the dining aprons and pick up the working tools-before our fraternity turns into the world’s most formal supper club.
    I have shared your paper with someone who is deeply into research and is an established and respected Mason in the UK.

    The people who you need to join, such as myself, will not. We understand what you know and have assimilated all of your material that can be found.
    You're organization is lacking in people who have organically traveled the spiritual path and come to understand the Word of God and Sacred Geometry without your guidance.
    You have elevated people within your ranks who should not have been so the fire is dim.
    With us it burns 🔥
    You know a tree by its fruit and the good fruit is rare over there.
    We need you all to fkn lead

      I appreciate your insights and agree that, like many institutions, Freemasonry today has its fair share of challenges. It’s true that finding quality Masonry can take time, effort, and patience. The process of connecting with dedicated and sincere brothers isn’t always easy, and yes, there are times when the Craft feels compromised by a focus on the external rather than the internal, or by elevating individuals who may not fully embody its principles.
      But I’d suggest that authentic Masonry, like anything worth pursuing, is more than a single experience or a fixed state; it’s a journey of seeking and building. Those of us who believe in its deeper values continue to find, or create, spaces where that fire does burn brightly. It may not always be as widespread as we’d hope, but it’s there, kept alive by brothers who are as committed to the path as you describe.
      While I agree that those who have organically developed a spiritual understanding bring something invaluable to the Craft, I believe that Freemasonry at its best has the potential to deepen and expand that journey. It may take some digging to find the "good fruit," but for those who do, there’s still something meaningful to be gained.

    Digital will never replace the real thing, I don't care how good VR gets. The ceremony of life can only be experienced through living it. Technology and science only prove that more and more.😢

    Let us suppose that there are crafts that require secrets, modern cratfs like AI architecture or crypto, then what use would it be to learn hebrew? or the art of drogs? Modern crafts are so elitist that only a handfull of people could be initiated. Those people are extremely rare, certenly not in the same area.

    What needs to be taught to everyone is why do the masons do the charity. My personal opinion is to encourage others while doing good fot all our common people. Keep tradition while teaching more that is not private.

    I'll join if they promise me that the highest degrees don't worship Satan and if it turns out they do, my oath is also null.

      The evolution on the scale of value in Freemasonry is optional and does not depend on what is above, but on your own work and will. Know that not all Masons become Masters or Grand Masters (if you are afraid of them) It's just that fear is the manifestation of ignorance.
      I recommend you to step with all confidence and according to your own evolution, you will personally learn the truth.

      I'm no Mason, I find the only way to receive true revelatory knowledge is to actually do the work, and that while speculation is fun, it's just that, speculation.
      Part of the revelation is the realization that All is One, this means that while you don't believe that you yourself are worshipping Satan, you actually are.
      The very act of separating good from evil creates an oppositional relationship of reality against itself and Satan is born.
      Oath takers will always eventually be oath breakers or live a life of internal struggle.
      If you wish to really know the ultimate reality you belong in a garden working in silence, not in a lodge performing plays.

      "I'll join if they promise me that the highest degrees don't worship Satan and if it turns out they do, my oath is also null."
      The highest degree in Freemasonry is the 3rd Degree, that of a Master Mason. Any "superiorly" numbered degree is an appendant to the 3rd Degree and not higher than the 3rd Degree. The 33rd Degree is an honorary degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry bestowed on Freemasons deemed to have made an exceptional contribution to Freemasonry. It confers no further powers or knowledge.
      The primary requirement for membership of Freemasonry, is to have at the centre of one's life, a single supreme being, responsible for the creation of the universe. Satan did not create the universe and not even diabolists believe he did. This completely precludes Satan from Freemasonry.

      @ 😁, probably not as they don’t in many churches, but there’s Mason lodges claimed to be haunted, at least one. I only heard of one church which I think Catholic, grown over, long defunct, but lights were claimed to come on at night which I’d guess was candle light!
