Fraternal Greetings Ron
RB>to see that. And another truth (one I'm sure you will agree with) is,
RB>most Masons can't see that anyway because the deeper mysteries of
RB>Masonry mean nothing to them anyway and most of the time they deny to
RB>themselves that they exist at all.
Yes its a sad state when most members of the masonic community know
little if any thing about the esoteric foundations of their system.
A friend and I gave a small talk at a Wardens and Masters meeting
concerning the symbolic meanings of the two pillars which stand at
the door and other general lodge symbolism. Whereas the talk was well
received it was painfully clear that few had any idea what we were
talking about (and fewer still even cared).
RB>In most regards we are fortunate
RB>(I say again) to have one lady here on the newsgroup that seems to
RB>understand Masonry better than most Masons I sit in lodge with
RB>regularly.
In this matter could you do me a favour, I sent off the address of
the American Federation of Human Rights (American Co-masonry) to
Catherine but am unsure if she received it, could you forward this
address to her in hopes it will fulfill her needs.

Thanks
P.S. As you have seen I have been signing my name as well as my
alias (a matter of convenience for some other boards I'm on) you can
address replies to either you prefer.
On the level with compass and square in hand beneath the stars.
In L.V.X.
