Indeed, the compass of a Past Master's jewel is 60°, I believe.

I was also under the impression that all compassess are not required to be of the same angle. I have seen a few that were of 90 degrees and others of various other smaller angles.

If you are referring to the angle of the pyramid, that would be incorrect as it does not have the same space distribution as a compass

and a square loses its meaning as the angle of a square. As angles and squares appear throughout nature and in man made objects, there is no reason to believe they somehow resemble the pyramid than the foundation of my house.

Masonic symbolism has specific definitions, none of it secret, and these interpretation are interesting but not masonic.

And a closing thought, I am as always fascinated to find out that everyone seems to know the "real" meaning of masonry except the masons themselves.

Timecode 01:42 on the first video shows the actual Masonic Logo (square and compass) overlaid over the diagrams of the pyramid/brain. You may have missed it.
Correct, the angle of the compass on the Masonic Logo marries up with the pyramid on the dollar bill. You have just correctly identified that the pyramid on the dollar bill relates not to the great pyramid of giza, but to the Masonic compass. To expand a little futher, the date on the bottom of the pyramid on the dollar bill in roman numerals MDCCLXXVI translates to 1776. 1776 is the date the declaration of independance was signed. It is also the date that Adam Weishaupt created the Illuminati.
Adam Weishaupt was also obsessed with the Great Pyramid of Giza. Is this getting through to you chaps yet?

These interpretations are completely masonic, the lines in red on the dollar bill even point to the letters M.A.S.O.N.
Yes, me too.

Also, for your, and others edification, compass(es) are plural.

I would but I'm caught up reading someone trying to cover up a conspiracy.

But I've made my point, I've addressed your issues already, and frankly, I hardly expect you to admit it. That is providing you knew in the first place. This way of mystical schooling happens to even yogi's students. False explanations for symbols etc, then when the student proves himself, the true meanings are revealed.

If you wish to debunk the information in the OP go ahead.

Another day, another person who is self-professed to be "enlightened" and all knowing, who somehow knows more about masonic symbolism than the masons without explanation or reason. This is really becoming a pattern.
And how would that be? Oh, you mean because I've offered clear and obvious reasons as to why these are lovely interpretations but not masonic interpretations, that there is a cover up? Because when there is a simple and rational answer to something, there certainly MUST be more to it right!
No, you have not. You have proposed things you cannot back up, and you simply dismiss all rational evidence for why your theory is incorrect. You fail to provide any reason as to why you - a non-mason - suddenly know all of this "secret" masonic symbolism, and have failed to provide any reason as to why your interpretation is masonic.
You are yet again showing your astonishing lack of knowledge about masonry. If you had done 5 minutes of research, you would quickly find that the symbolism of masonry is open to all and that there is no attempt to hide that symbolism.
But that isn't all that sexy so you don't want to believe reality, you'd much rather make up elaborate meanings and then blame everyone who tells you your wrong as somehow intentionally trying to "hide" it.

I'd noticed that too, the pattern developing I mean, you don't think the Masons are being dishonest to their membership, surely?
Originally posted by TrueLight
I find that the original post is the most simple of the explanations I've seen on the subject. Personally I mean, but I can fully appreciate your point. It must be very frustrating when people don't believe your explanations, try not to take it personally. Human nature is inquisitive.
If there is nothing Masonic in this post, then it begs the question, why you, as a Mason, seem to get so upset by it.
If what you say is true there hardly seems to be a point in having a 33rd degree at all. If as you say, the literature is available to everyone, then surely it would behoove your organisation to meet openly, like any book club.
I don't find any sexiness in Masonry at all, no offence. I am not suggesting you are intentionally hiding anything, I think it may be possible you haven't learnt the true meaning of your symbols though. Why not, like I said before, this is a normal technique for teaching esoterica.

It is just some very nice information that the public might enjoy about the 6th and 7th chakras. I find it hard to believe anyone would want to stop this information getting out there, so to speak. Surely no one would benefit from the general public remaining in a less-aware state? How could anyone benefit from the public being less-aware? I wonder.
