IDEAS AND GIMCRACKS: ENVIRONMENT CONCERNING MASONRY

Sooner or later it was bound to happen. The gewgaws and gimcracks no more. Block a stream of water,  the energy and power continue to build. The effect comes to us as consequences; intended  or not; up or down stream. And the time it takes to reckon this is time invested to replace ill-conceived ideas and the attend to the self serving mindset of the masses.  It is a very lonely experience when you stand against the mainstream.   

Scholarship is that blocked stream, not of water but of consciousness; dormant for so long it had fallen out of memory only to be rediscovered.  Will the alchemists step forward to teach us the steps in a preparation.  Alchemical masons are the most misunderstood of all. And well should they go quietly about their work to avoid ridicule. This collective rediscovery of masonic archives makes for compelling reading.     It would take great licence with the facts to claim it was entirely accurate, but it does contain more than partial truths.
