Apparently as you ascend in rank in masonry new information is divulged to the member. What kind of information, what does it consist of and what does a 33 degree mason know? How much has been leaked?

What most mislead masons in lower echelons do not know.

they know where the reptilian bases are, and who shot JFK.
They are also immediately changed from human to alien via a DNA swap. It's cutting edge technology.
When they reach the 34th degree they get their vampire teeth.

Would you shush... stop divulging the secrets, man.

They learn the meaning and purpose of life, and become gods.

Honestly, i think they just learn some new rules and regulations coupled with a few insignificant benefits. I mean, you guys expect them to have super cool sex orgies ala Eyes Wide Shut, huh?

only the groomed 33rds will know anything.

from the beginning and throughout the ages, the secret society of masons have brought in the masses, to test, and to select, the most trustworthy and intelligent, to be absorbed into their upper rank and file. for only the Elite chosen shall ever know all that is hidden.

its really like any other organization.... highway patrol,CIA,special forces,bilderburgs, you just have to fit the profile.

my uncle was a 33rd my father was a 32 but neither of them fit the specific profile to be brought into the hidden

You could ask one of our resident 33°s, but Lost in the Midwest hasn't logged on in a few months…

The ritual has leaked and is easy enough to find, as are the passwords. Not sure what else you're looking for…

Josh, you know full well that conspiracy theory has had to devise a mythical "knowing" free-mason, to cover the cognitive dissonance caused by the fact that masonry is basically just a few guys with less social status than most country clubs.

When pressed, the CT's will say that only a very, very few are "in the know." Push them, and they admit its only a handful really.

In that case, why label the conspiracy a "masonic" one, if only 1 percent are enlightened? That ratio would be LESS than in the Pentagon or the Vatican. But that isn't nearly as picturesque.

They know better than to talk about the 33rd degree!

I suppose they know how to transmute gold from base metals, where the lost Tomb of Solomon is, how many alien races are in contact with Earth, the secret to instantaneous interstellar travel, the True Name of God, the true nature of John the Baptist, the secret to controlling demons from other dimensions, the ability to scry into the future like Nostradamus, how to talk to any animal, the recipe for the world's best martini, where all the lost socks go out of the wash, what Heaven is like, how to make a 7-10 split every time, and so on.

The thing is, if they are in possession of any powerful arcane or mystical knowledge, they certainly haven't demonstrated the ability to use it for anything worthwhile. The true power of Masonry, like all organizations, is that it helps people get organized. And that immediately puts you quite a few steps above the average person.

Why would an organized person be above an unorganized person? One just functions quicker or more efficiently because the information is easier to access for them. That dosen't make them more important :]
