SECRETS WITHIN THE CRAFT

In the Tutor period, alchemists practiced their arts. To this day, we know scientists are protective and secretive about their work. Across Canada, the scientific community has been targeted for a decade by the current federal government pushing an ideological agenda. But think back to the tutor period and governments had less leverage and more obfuscation with those pesky alchemicalists.   They did and did not keep their work secret.  Yes, they did not want others to replicate their findings. This is from the same protectionist thinking that gave rise to passwords and signs of recognition about operative masons. The alchemist had to keep track of his work which he did by developing and writing in code.  Dyspher the code- follow the research.  

Within the Craft we have often heard what I like to think of as the declaration of the uninformed. We are not a secret society, but we do have secrets.  There are 27,000 languages in use on this blue globe orbiting our star. We happen to use an obscure langage to keep track of our work.  Study the language for yourself. The information becomes obvious.   A mason with a loose waggy tongue can't be of much use. The 'rosetta' stone to translate these glyphs has yet to be found.  Isn't it curious that alchemists have continued to practice and no one sees fit to indict.

To all those who cannot control their emotion, you will look for an apology for the frustration this causes to blindly rage around the lodge.  So here is a bone;  if you desire what alchemists seek, if you can commit, if you have the ability to go beyond your familiar logical mind, find a book about the Khabbalah.  If your mind is settled enough to know that the alchemists secrets are anything but the revelation of truths- the path may open.
