The State of Freemasonry

Can you think for yourself in Freemasonry?The experience of free-thought is known as "freethinking", in Buddhism a type of freethought was advocated by Gautama Buddha, who challenged dogmas and urged people not to follow anything due to mere tradition. The year 1600 is considered the beginning of the era of modern freethought, as it is marked by the execution in Italy of Giordano Bruno,a former Dominican Monk, by the Inquisition.The Inquisition is still alive in many forms."Be and remain a free thinker. Think for yourself and not according to what other people think. Likewise, let everyone think freely; do not impose your ideas on others and always remember that your ideas are also evolving."Rose-Croix code of Life
