It is not hard to merge posts or even threads, but you can get some strange dialogs when you do.

Re: The Age of Enlightenment and Freemasonry

I add this comment almost in off-topic observation fashion, hoping that it might amuse or even prove useful in parallel research. The data pertain to our recent work. The present world crisis might not be unprecedented. In researching when did we have an economic situation like this, we incidentally came upon the afore mention year. May I reveal that the year was 1683. If we would simply apply the model we used, the next American civil war (highly speculative) would be dated 2085. The end of the period we was able to research was 1732-Oct-25. During my stay in Florence I will be able to consult relevant manuscript as to this date. Events do not repeat themselves in simple fashion, however, there is a parallel between 1683 and the present crisis.

Re: The Age of Enlightenment and Freemasonry

Isn't 1683 sixty-three years after the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock?

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out, and if the patterns have elements that recur fiathfully to some unknow pattern.

Re: The Age of Enlightenment and Freemasonry

My Brothers,

Is it a matter of history repeating, or events being interupreted as someting we already understand and have experienced so that we can cope. History is rewritten by the winners, and as my dad used to say "If you ain't the lead dog, the view is always the same."

Certainly some things will look to be repeatative, but the differences are, at least in my humble opinion, more important then those things that are simular. We learn from our experiences and can become armed to deal with things we have seen before, but it is the newness that leaves us with either new skills or failures, that should get the most of our attention.

S&F

The principle is paramount, not our tentative spiraling. There are "dogs" that try and bite their own tails. We still don't understand fully what basic Regulus symbolism is about. In Egypt, Leo glided on Hydra as a slate, while our Michael ( a possible or even likely derivation of a peculiar Egyptian god? ) is stabbing the heart of the old snake. Now the spear goes through Sextans. There must be a good reason to pit the two stars against each other, namely Regulus (MIKAL) and Alphard. The solar Leo stabs Tiamut. It is improbable that history repeats itself, but we are called towards uncoiling paths. One of the perfect coils that boils the lake is the LHC, the device that kindles dark fantasy. In calculating with exactness the parameters for the launch, superb timing was given to Spica Virginis rising at the "horizon". We spent a hour calculating the provisory midpoint of the device as elevation is vital in orientation (sic).

They did it before me, of course. Spica rises at that altitude "under ground" precisely at 10:38 thus the strange timing for the launch of Large Hadron. The LHC is a cycle, void and temple, but also great danger, not only for the adjacent lake. There were other factors that no superb astronomer would take into account for the event.

Now I am coming to the point. When did we have LHC the last time? Was it in India? Persia? Did we know how to orientate the "temple"? Who had the technology? Lord Siva? It starts with spiral reckoning, but we arrive at dangerous conclusions. Another is: how come that the LHC and bailout coincide with peculiar festivities? And so on.

Re: The Age of Enlightenment and Freemasonry

""I ponder the importance of why it was mentioned CHiram was a widows son.

Does the tale mention a father?
Was CHiram born before or after his father died?
If he was born before his father died ... who is the father?

This could be a reference to the fact that in Judaism, it is only important that the mother be a Jew...all offspring by default become adherents.

Or if CHiram was born after his father died...this could imply 3 possible alternative interpretations.

1/ CHiram was conceived and then his father died before his birth...

2/ CHiram's mother gave birth out of wedlock, where is daddy?
... ie. that would make one of the co-builders of Solomon's Temple in effect a 'bastard', or and the most likely ARKetype implied by the parable is ...

3/ CHiram was born of an immaculate conception.""



could he be the son of a ""dead"" man? perhaps it refers to ""divine"" lineage?
