“The real source from whence the Ancient Wisdom came was…Old India, the Mother of Civilizations and Religions, and of the esoteric or concealed wisdom.” —Dr. J.D. Buck, Mystic Masonry
“It has been called “The Third Eye.” The Ancient Hindus called it the Eye of Siva…It is atrophied, and therefore dormant in the average individual…The Eye of Siva is, in fact, an All-Seeing-Eye; for it practically annuls Space and Time as concepts on the physical plane… A real Master [Mason], then, has the Eye of Siva; the pineal gland, dormant in others, is active in him…” —Dr. J.D.

Is it true that Master Masons, can 'recognize' other Master Mason's even if they don't know them? Something one of my references told.
The idea that Masonry had anything to do with the National Treasure movies or the Dan Brown novels is hogwash. We were amused by the movies that came out, and for the most part they painted us in a favorable light, but we had nothing to do with making them.

Essentially, I was told that Freemasons have commercialized the brotherhood. They used to be worthwhile, but they've slowly become corrupted, and now they're no better than any other elite club. My attention was directed to the two National Treasure movies, funded and promoted by Masons. The message: "Become a mason and hunt treasure!"

Are these not accurate? The Masons I know personally have both told me they had a life changing experience during the third degree. Have you read my Triptych thread? It makes a link between the Masonic tracing board and the human brain.It seems Masonry today is half and half about esoteric study. Do none of you truly not find an interest In the Kabbalah for Scottish Rite? I participated in the Theosophy thread; I took it most of you had respect for that study.
From what I have read Masonry teaches moral lessons through ceremony and rites. I believe the lessons learned make you a more spiritual person and thus the association with the Third Eye.
