Is Freemasonry a path to enlightenment?
I've always thought it was a satanic cult, but that's what everyone thinks. I'd be willing to give it a shot, it wouldn't be the first time I realized that everyone is wrong about something
Is it really all allegories and teachings of Luciferianism?
I haven't read any literature on Freemasonry, except Secret Teachings Of All Ages by Manly Hall, but desu i didnt really understand much of what i read in that book
is there like a chart or something for getting into freemasonry literature? i'm not sure i was meant to start off with Secret Teachings by Manly Hall, it just didn't seem very entry level
>>
From what I understand, once you get past all the LARP stuff it's just a social club. There are probably some horrible people in there, but that's nothing new.

Manly Hall is wrong about everything he says. Luciferianism is a nothingburger term. Secret Teachings is a good introduction to basic symbolism tho, which Masonry is rich in, and causes schizo people to lose their shit because they notice it ala "WHOA THE EYE PROVIDENCE? ILLLUMATI CONFIRMED!"

Freemasonry is an occultic current that still had a strong interest in politics, economy, and other ''material'' lowly affairs, whereas the rest of the occult societies in the West were getting increasingly esoteric and insular. You could argue that it led to the Enlightenment in general, and it certainly gave birth to America. But it's a very Anglo-Saxon flavor of occultism AFAIK. It's very easy to be either reductive or delusional about them, but their link to the power structure is real, as real as the links between the English Royal Court and the hermetic order of the golden dawn.
I wouldn't recommend following them however. It's just too muddy and drenched in nihilistic/annihilationist imagery. There are better things out and about in this world. Follow the light. Read about those who meant well.

I used to work in psych and we had one schizo patient who was always talking about this book lol.

a homeless guy told me about it, lol

>Is Freemasonry a path to enlightenment?
No. It's an empty husk of whatever occult significance it once had. It's been a geriatric social club for over a century now. You may as well join a bowls club.
>>
There was that retarded Congressman during the second Kash Patel hearing who had a Freemasonry ring. You could sense the enlightenment rolling off his tongue.
>>
No, most people do not engage in discussions about how freemasonry is a satanic cult. They operate in the open with lodges everywhere.

Yes, they are a satanic cult and also pederasts. They rape children and specifically little boys. Pederasts are homosexual pedophiles.

Freemasonry is evil and satanic, and it should be avoided at all costs. It should be formally abolished by law as a criminal organization for its crimes against children and general corruption.

One time I was hanging out with a friend, and we went to one of his friend's place. His friend literally lived in a big shed with nothing in it but a bed, a light, and a little table. On the little table was a small statuette type of thing with that Masonic square and compass on it
He was really quiet and seemed super serious for some reason even though we were just hanging out and I got some seriously strange vibes coming from him and that whole situation.
I ended up just leaving because I felt too weirded out by it, lmao. What a fucking strange ass dude
>>
>>24738225
Really? Or are you kidding?
I see Freemason symbols in media all the time, like movies, shows, music videos, etc. idk what any of them mean though, I'm really just curious about it all
>>
>>24738227
That all sounds kinda based to me. Maybe even a little bit redpilled. I don't see the issue.
>>
>>24738237
Everybody should check this out, it's a pretty cool read

Mormonism is based on free masonry. Do you think that’s a path of enlightenment?
>>
>>24738225
Charlie Kirk’s wife too

>>24738227
Might as well ban rabbinic Judaism while you’re at it, you anti-semite
>>
>>24738248
Huh, I always knew Kubrick's films had a ton of symbolism and encryption like that, but I never knew what they were supposed to mean, that's really interesting
I wonder if there's an analysis like that for The Shining.

>>24738225
from the little I know the received scottish rite is generally okay while the latin rite tends to be evil
comparing the character of Washington to some 18th century French characters should suffice to demonstrate this difference
An interesting read on this is Joseph de Maistre: he was involved in Masonry while a decout Catholic
>>
occultism is so dumb but occultists have some power and this book is interesting to read because of that
>>
MPH is great bedtime reading, oddly enough.
>>
>>24738913
Yeah, I bet. Secret Teachings Of All Ages is so fantastical and mysterious
>>
>>24738248
one of my teachers in college put on a performance of the Hiram/temple of Solomon story.
What the hell was up with that? Was he a Mason, or trying to get noticed?
>>
>>24737739
Freemasonry, especially nowadays, is mostly just a fruity club with dumb secret rituals where dudes play dress up in ceremonial robes, drink, and hang out.
