Jesus Andre did you have to write a novel?

First off the Freemasons don't recruit, they don't ask you to join you have to come of your own free will. They always say "To be one, ask one".

Secondly I would like to join because they are a Fraternal Order that does a lot of good for a lot of people...my grandmother for example had an ailment when she was a child and she was taken to the Shriner (you've got to be a Mason to be a Shriner) Hospital and surgeries were performed at no cost to her or her parents. And part of me wants to provide the service and charity to other sick children and I also feel that civic groups like the Freemason's, Civitans, Odd Fellows, Kiwanis, Moose Lodge, and Elks Lodge are a benefit to the community and they used to be such a staple of communities as well and that's kind of fallen by the wayside.

Oh also, my Great Grandfather was a Freemason and 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason.

Are you reading 'Born in Blood' Andre?

[Andre]

No, the book: Cracking the Freemasons code.' the truth about Solomons Key'.By Robert Cooper the curator of the Scottish Grand lodge.

Oh I don't know Lyle, could it have been edited down any shorter? You said you were interested in their fore fathers and foundations.

I thought I did well briefing it right down for you without giving the ball away.
( I do leave big lines in between what I write Lyle, so my own writings are not even as long as some your own offerings to be found concerning the political front.

I have been asked a few times why dont I join..you know, being from a long line of English Stonemasons who have worked for Royalty etc, I suppose some friends thought I maybe interested.

Was Da Vinci involved with them at all do you Know? He isnt in the list of famous Masons. It is him, his works and a few others through history I am interested in more than anyone else.
Going by his drawing "Leonardo's canon" of the man with his arms and legs out stretched and the sacred geometry around it he could not : 'NOT have known' about something in which he drew there and therefore in my mind must of practiced by knowing. (I have no idea if Freemasonry practices what it is I am talking about, but I know some remaining Templar organizations that do mention it.

Its another fascinating pathway in any case. Good luck with it all Lyle.
