You're wrong, it is correct.
It is when evidences are presented, especially accompanied by that which many would call "coincidences". Which are not coincidences but in fact, FACTUAL.
Then by all Means, MR. Mason, continue to post, for I know how to handle you now.
That is mostly your own fault for failing to understand what the term "allegories" means. I cant help you there if you have no knowledge on what THAT means.
lets continue this arguement then, you show no signs of backing down, and neither will I. I say you are wrong, and lying. The fact is, YOU DONT KNOW. But I do.
and the quote from albert pike applies because it is the TRUTH with regards to YOUR current situation and sheer IGNORANCE.

So how is it you say you KNOW these things
But Augusts, an actual mason , not relying on anecdotal evidence, second hand information, or supposition, does NOT know?
Sure it is. Got any sources?
"I regard not to what particular sect you attach
yourselves, venerate the popular religion of your respective countries, follow
the light of your own understanding.... Adore the Supreme Architect of the
Universe, acknowledge the immortality of the Soul, and look forward to a state
of retribution where the wise and good of all religions and countries shall meet
together and enjoy never fading bliss, in those realms of light and Love where
Faith shall be lost in sight, Hope in fruition, and Charity become expanded, as
Almighty Love. (The Autobiography of Henry Fowle of Boston (1766 - 1837), with
notes and appendices by David H. Kilmer (Bowie, Maryland, 1991), 186)
You presented evidence? Sorry, I must have missed it all. Nothing you posted claims that 'follow the light, which means "follow the knowledge" is what freemasonry does'.
Oooooooo. Well the Professor, if I am lying it would be easy to get a ritual book and prove me wrong. Hell, they have them all over eBay for a few dollars.
It is no different than listening to a college professor who studied in his or her field of knowledge.

I give you this source, but in reality my real sources are directly from masons. Word for word.
cant help you if you choose not to see them But i am pretty sure others in this thread already have. I posted Alot of them already. And I will not repost what I posted in previous threads with regards to this series.
I never stated I was a professor, another lie from your part.(Putting words in my mouth, like you have before in other threads, and I suggest people to backtrack my threads and see AugustusMasonicus Posts.
Mr.Mason who happens to be SHILL-axing
Sorry, I just point out the obvious. Through your own words. You said it, not me. I simply noticed. Now, youre gonna tell me "oh that is what I've been called". Naw, I know that it is the "gentlemans way" to let people know what is up, even if it is indirectly.
You can't expect someone to be nice to you when you are wrong wrong wrong. But I guess you'll say the same about me huh? Actually, I tend to be rebelius towards those who follow me within my posts almost religiously simply to "mock me". I find that creepy, and stalkerish and annoying. It really does seem like you are trying to be the "all seeing eye" around me.
Keep following me and ill keep accusing you of being a stalker shill. because by simply following me, almost religiously, and me pointing this out. People will start seeing you for what you really are.
the difference is the personal connection of related experience to the characters involved that casts the curtain hiding its familiarity... this allows the same story to be told over and over with the trope remaining hidden beneath the surface.
a word of caution is basically what this amounts too, an aid to not lose oneself to the devil found in the details... which is what you seem to be doing. first identify the trope itself and then see how the various conflicting details fit that you want to apply to it... either it fits the trope or it doesnt but it will always be a trope of some sort so no need to force fit any of them... otherwise youre conflagerating oneself into being caught in a trope unaware that you have done so and once again getting lost in the made up details hiding the framework.
once you see it you cant unsee it
I have both of them on you.

best to remember the defeat of queen mab... if you dont want to further derail your thread in defense of yourself instead of the topic. careful what you expect going into a thread and stating what you dont want to happen in it as it becomes troll food and the unwanted or welcome line of debate follows a topic wholly unrelated... each reply being more food and more off topic helping the derailment trolls stay off topic.
its clear youre piecing together things and asking for help in fitting several stories together to find the origional source or trope underneath all of them. so honestly that effort requires tossing many useless details not a clarification of them. that being the case proving details instead of fitting details with the same trope is kind of pointless. masonry is just a detail and pointless to argue who said what when the eye symbology is a common trope if it plays out to mean the same thing regardless of the borrowers details is really the main point after all.

It is obvious that we do not meet eye to eye. It is obvious we don't like one another.
It is obvious that you have your experience and I have my own. You were taught one thing, I was taught another. We both state something is true.
But see, there is one difference between us. I leave YOU alone with your topics. I dont follow you religiously, nor do I care.
So why waste your time ?
If I don't like you, especially due to past posts, this puts us basically at war with one another. Because I see one thing, you see another.
And I already shown how you put words in my mouth when it wasn't true.
So Mr. "Mason", how is that credibility working out for you? (I have every right to defend myself, so don't get upset with me attacking you back.)
I rest my case.

all these posts and unfortunately no clarification as to the symbology of the all seeing eye as it relates to masonry and its principles.
...yet that All Seeing Eye, whom the Sun, Moon and Stars obey, and under whose watchful care even Comets perform their stupendous revolutions, penetrates the inmost recesses of the human Heart and will judge us according to our merits.
I understand some of it is secret...
life simply transforms into that of a watcher because we know what trying to bury oneself into or living a trope does... and well how many times do you need to grab a hot pan bare handed, before you stop intentionally causing yourself and others pain,
but involving oneself in tropes intensionally creates karma based on tat intension
im one of those on the lightside even though ive been tempted to use the insight for some good old greed for material excess as it just becomes too easy to see all the reoccuring patterns going on. i typically dont go hey youre living a trope to people... but help those suffering in a trope from all my experience of the trope itself.
since karma follows all intent even if it hasnt become action the seed still gets planted when you keep cultivating the ground for it.

thank you for that clarification, my apologies for not seeing it in the above as it was a bit chaotic. it appears the all seeing eye is equated to consciousness, and that no matter how you try to cover it up by word or deed, your heart knows the truth and will either sink you or allow you to swim when judgment of the soul arises.
in my opinion the over coming is also symbolic as no actual attainment is involved but the ritual designed to have some idea beyond rote of what having the experience means by offering a way to have a taste of it through the ritualisation. it takes a lot more than that for full wisdom to grow to actually understand fully the experience... but better than none or just a conceptual grasp in understanding isnt it?
