What is known is there is officially 33 degrees (Scottish Rite), the 33 is also said to be a highly symbolic number, among others.
From what ive researched Masonry is a very Gnostic type teaching.
There is also lots of other "Rites", with different amounts of Degrees in Masonry like for example the "Rite of Memphis-Misraïm" (99 degrees).

Maybe ascension is just re connecting with the source, just as simple as that, becoming aware and re connecting.
Interesting .

Jn I really dont know much about the masons but what on Earth is the point to those 99 degrees??? What is that all about? Is this sort of thing really anything to do with awakening?? Kind of reminds me of another master stage thing I got mixed up in and that was a complete waste of time and its main aim was to distract and allow ego to take over.

I can see how you would think it would distract and allow the ego to take over, but considering the Masons are Gnostic type group, they are mostly about ridding the individual of the ego, and teaching spiritual truths.

If they are a spiritual group, we are they often seen as a secret society? One that holds secret knowledge that only they can know? If they are spiritual why are so many members in positions of high power in society?

Sorry dude, the AP is definitely not just a "quarantine area" that's you once again confining your own mind to the boundaries set forth by your theory.

Everyone associates the sleep state with "the Astral Plane" which is really only half true. The AP is sort of like a natural internet save for the server is the global consciousness. Anything else is just you having time in your own head. You can also go other places too that can be blankly called the "AP" but it's really getting into what we might call the spiritual domain or pure energy.

The astral world is a sphere where dead memories are stored. For the astral body is the hard disk for the soul. It's also incudes the entire memory of the human race. This memory of the human race is the biggest problem mankind faces, for it prevents him from evolving. The goal is to be set free from that sphere, because we humans come from the light and we are returning to the light.

teklordz Your take on the AP has a good shape to it .
I can see the model you are describing and I see where it fits in the scheme.I just got to get my head around the planes and vibrations.
Originally posted by Mr Green
Its as if to progress man needs to just STOP thinking and become. To become again without mind controlled thoughts, he just simply needs to return to being.
I think within the light there are no thoughts or memories of a mind because mind and memories are of the body not the spirit (light)

I agree 100%. This is exactly it. Humans of the next cycle will not think the way they've been thinking up to this point. They will have instant memory (living memory) of whatever they need to know, depending on their vibrations and universal status. That memory will not be associated to the astral plane, it will be associated to "the light".
