Ten Master Masons, happy, doing fine;
One listened to a rumour, then there were nine.
Nine Master Masons, faithful, never late;
One didn&#8217;t like the &#8220;Master,&#8221; then there were eight.
Eight Master Masons, on their way to heaven;
One joined to many clubs, then there were seven.
Seven Master Masons, life dealt some hard licks;
One grew discouraged, then there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Unknown Friend
In the context of our ancient art, the obligation is one of, if the not the most powerful works wrought by a Freemason. It is the expression of one&#8217;s will, adamant and inviolable, made before all Brothers, sworn before Deity, and symbolically sealed with penalty; and once made can never be un-made, even [...]]]></description>

Dear Unknown Friend,
During the last Lodge of Instruction for Wasatch Lodge No.1 I made the following comments, which a dear Brother suggested be written down for posterity. Apparently, in all the nonsense I normally spew forth, this is considered worthwhile.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Unknown Friend,
Some thoughts, as I poke around a copy of the Register House Manuscript (1696) - documents from the 17th and 18th century clearly establish that many Speculative (perhaps even Accepted) Masons in Scotland (and the UK), believed a connection between Masonry with Rosicrucianism.
Rosicrucianism is a peculiarly protestant (and German) vein of hermeticism, itself [...]]]></description>

Of late, I have been mired in world of illusions. Interestingly, the illusions center on what is, or is not political. What moves are made for political gain, the perception of moves made for political gain, and associating perceived evils with individuals who are perceived to be politically motivated.

I travel East for Illumination and to catch a glimpse of a world of Universal Brotherhood. 
I travel East to participate in, and continue a moral endeavor that is ancient and legendary, requiring of me a sacrifice of mythic proportions (resulting in transformation).
Why are you on this journey?
