Friedrich Nietzsche (and others) introduce us to the
remarkable idea of
RECURRENCE and an understanding of dimensions in relation
to eternity (which is NOT all of time but a different
dimension than time). Something can be said about
that but first:
How can there be reincarnation until there first has been
incarnation? Have
you ever heard of the Incarnate Son?
People enter Freemasonry clothed in their everyday
attitudes and wear the
shoes that their life developed to protect them on life's
road.
To ENTER Freemasonry these clothes and shoes have to be
removed. This is part of the preparation in order to
knock on the door of Freemasonry.
Freemasonry clearly teaches that 'something' has to be
built. It is not
given to one. It has to be built by attempts,
efforts and work. Sometimes
this 'something' is referred to as a "temple not made
by hands." This is
not just a metaphor. Something quite literal is also
meant.
A different level of self can incarnate in the body.
But it is based on
free will and individual efforts. It is not given to
anyone nor is it
forced on those who seek it not. This self from a
higher level has nothing
to do with belief. It is not a question of saying
"I believe." That just
becomes an excuse to not make the necessary efforts.
If one ENTERS
Freemasonry one is met by a war-like instrument that
pierces the naked left
breast. There is a pain involved for those who
ENTER.
No one can understand what has just been written unless
they have begun to
see the distinction between an outer life and an inner
life. In Freemasonry
we call this forming a lodge and letting none pass nor
repass into the lodge
unless they are properly clothed, vouched for, and have
permission of the
WM. All this has a very deep meaning.
One has to seek, ask and knock. Almost any idiot can
join the outer club.
Entry into the inner lodge starts with a common
understanding. In the outer
club there is confusion of tongues and much disagreement
in the guise of
everyone can believe what they want. It is true.
Freemasonry grows from
free will not forced beliefs. With an Attentive Ear
one can hear the
Instructive Tongue. This doesn't arise until there
has been sufficient
friction to like the charcoal necessary to heat the
Faithful Breast.
