WHEN IS A STAR MORE THAN A REFLECTION? AN OCEAN MORE THAN WATER?

It has been called insight and understanding. It has periods in history that mark the progress of humanity. Significant thinkers have always maintained the conversation about the human condition.  Self-awareness once the unquestioned prerogative of humans has been presenting us with observations that astound until the lines separating black n white reveal the truth that understanding is daunting. Indifference toward understanding places us on the edge of chaos.  But neither can we assume enlightenment without reason.  The secrets of ritual have never revealed themselves to a fool. Accepting the challenge of proof is what uncommon men do.  Look around the lodge and see for yourself how accurate this is. When we realize a moment of clarity, everything becomes subordinate to understanding. The framework that brilliant men built is only an offering not a promise.  Come into the gallery where latent talent is manifest. The dedication and effort, the attention to detail, confirming and capturing beautiful ideas that are your contribution and yours alone. This brick road will take you to findings but not without presenting you with barriers. Overcome them and step along. Bliss? Perhaps something more? A university but so much more; a lifestyle, a reason for being.  Sacred geometry is preserved within our brotherhood every time we look behind the curtain.  Don't be fooled. Perhaps necessity is the mother of invention.
