An Update on New Activity Coming Up

Greetings Everyone! It has been several years since I went on my journey deciphering Albert Pike's "Morals and Dogma" and I am grateful that so many of you went along with me on my journey. I started the weekly study at a time when I was newly diagnosed with bladder cancer, and subsequently at a time when I was not really sure how much longer I was going to live. This uncertainty certainly made me anxious and made me realize that possibly I had not left much behind me as a "legacy", per se. Or worse yet, I started to wonder just how much in my life at that point I had done to try to make a positive difference. There was no thought of what committing to such a task could do for ME, rather it was always my intention to try to leave something for society to ponder and think about and hopefully to USE in daily life. It was indeed a committment, every week when I was able or maybe should NOT have been able, fighting cancer, fresh from immuno therapy tre

Justice is the Law of the Moral Universe

Greetings and welcome back to the return of our study of Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma where we will continue on with page 829 of Chapter 32.      Some house keeping is in order before I begin today as I have been on an extended hiatus from this study dealing with a case of writers block, bouts of depression, helping my wife through some serious health issues and also trying to come to terms with the despotism and anarchy that Pike himself wrote about extensively throughout Morals and Dogma, that has now invaded the hallowed halls of Washington, D.C. and will seemingly be entrenched there for the foreseeable future.    Columbia herself, whose likeness stands proudly in statue form high on top of the U.S. Capitol Building, is assuredly cringing on a daily basis as are most Americans while we wonder, sometimes aloud, “what is next?”.     In short, there has been a lot invading my mind which has kept me from completing this study which has now altogether, with bouts of hiatus inclu

Natural Law, the Law of Attraction and Freemasonry

    Greetings and welcome back to our study of Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma as we continue chapter 31.     This time, we will join Pike as he explains natural law and the laws of attraction and how it pertains to freemasonry.     Thank you for joining in, now LET’S READ PIKE!   Everywhere in the world there is a natural law, that is, a constant mode of action, which seems to belong to the nature of things, to the constitution of the Universe. This fact is universal. In different departments we call this mode of action by different names, as the law of Matter, the law of Mind, the law of Morals, and the like. We mean by this, a certain mode of action which belongs to the material, mental, or moral forces, the mode in p. 828 which commonly they are found to act, and in which it is their ideal to act always. The ideal laws of matter we know only from the fact that they are always obeyed. To us the actual obedience is the only evidence of the ideal rule; for in respect to the

Fair Judgement and the Tectactrys

      Greetings Everyone and WELCOME BACK to our study of Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma after a very long hiatus.    I offer my apologies for the lay off, I found myself in a long malaise full of writers’ block and lack of inspiration. This happens to writers from time to time.    Quincy Jones calls the atmosphere when artists are inspired the time when “God is in the room”.        I call the lack of inspiration the Ichabod moments or “the spirit hath departed”.      After some self reflection and finding ways to become inspired again, I am back and ready to inspire YOU to keep reading Morals and Dogma. There are so many wonderful lessons in this book that after reading Morals and Dogma, it would be difficult to leave the book without it chnging your life.          As we continue this chapter, Pike introduces to us the use of the tectactrys of Pythogoras as a symbole to healp us to lead effectively and judge fairly those who we lead.     When we left on the unexpected hi

My Lodge Has Beautiful Ornaments, But What Do They Mean?

My Lodge Has Beautiful Ornaments! But What Do They Mean? Posted on February 28, 2013 by jtasher   Greetings everyone and welcome as we study now pages 14-18 of Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma. Here Pike is describing more of the interior of the lodge room and explaining the meanings of what is symbolized by what is called the ORNAMENTS of the lodge room.  We will proceed a little differently tonight. I will post a paragraph or two at a time as we begin rather than posting all of the pages first then reposting and opining again. Let me know if you like this structure better.  Here we go!         The ORNAMENTS of a Lodge are said to be “the Mosaic Pavement, the Indented Tessel, and the Blazing Star.” The Mosaic Pavement, chequered in squares or lozenges, is said to represent the ground-floor of King Solomon’s Temple; and the Indented Tessel “that beautiful tesselated border which surrounded it.” The Blazing Star in the centre is said to be “an emblem of Divine Providence, and commemor
