Assumptions About Masons

I wrote in the previous http://georgesblogforfriends.blogspot.com/2015/01/rock-paper.html briefly about masons. An analogy between a masonic ritual, a song and a building style. The presumptive association was done through the assumption that what i know about them is true. But is also possible, as i suspect in the case of Mr.Jinichi Kawakami, that what is projected in videos on the internet might be especially designed for that purpose and it is not part of their rituals, if they had any. I think the safest analogy is with the wave function collapse in quantum mechanics and probably from here comes their strength. In QM, a wave function is in superposition state until observation, when it is reduced to a measurable state. In other words, while unseen, they can do anything (to us).

They also claim their craft lineage comes from Ancient Egypt which might be true. We know about a vague link with pyramids, as it is stated on the one dollar bill. The all seeing eye on the one dollar bill appears physically separated from the body of the pyramid, although virtually overlapping the same (virtual) geometric space. As it was there only through proxy or virtually. Separated by a huge distance but virtually present though some instantaneous, extraordinary large bandwidth connection.

They are recruiting, as they say, good people (to make them better). Proven successful people that will not raise eyebrows after becoming (much) more successful. Some of them are successful writers and philosophers. However, since they raise in their hierarchy through rituals that appear quite simple and do not require intense intellectual effort, we might assume that a superior intellect is not a condition.

Although the rituals appear designed to change profoundly people's mind. About life and death, social relationships and especially the sense of belonging (to a brotherhood). In other minds, reeducation. That usually requires reevaluation of one's life through a different prospective.

Now we all know this is not possible at an adult age. What is possible is literally stunning certain areas of the brains and favoring others. Through rituals that have fear (of death) a major component and rebirth again and again as a declared finality. "Rebirth on a superior, spiritual state". In other words, temporary rewiring of the brain, artificially made permanent. "There is no coming back", or like the other song says, "they can check out any time they want but they can never leave".

Initiations from one level to another which may gradually more and more intense are probably made to renew the stun that covers certain area of the memory and slow down or stop certain mental processes, linked to the previous life in the profane world. Or all the wrong junk from all the wrong places. That is, emotions.

It is safest to assume they get assignments, according to their area of expertise. They will spend the rest of their lives doing the same thing as before, only amplified by the power of the brotherhood. This way they loose their freedom to change their minds sometimes in life about what they did before. Or ever retiring except for major incapacity.

There are two things that trouble me most about "them". First, their knowledge and highly symbolic and never fully understood even by themselves rituals with the purpose of rewiring of the brain, and the way of accomplishing their worldly assignments may come from here http://georgesblogforfriends.blogspot.com/2014/11/interstellar-communications-through.html

Secondly, they perform some of their art in public. Recently i had a close encounter of the unknown kind with a gentleman performing some act that might come from their (through analogy, it was not the first time, the first time with the step with feet at 90 degrees while crossing the street at a stop light at a busy intersection, this older gentlemen in the recent case was performing in public a step and a motion of the walking stick). As i was walking behind him for quite a while on a one way alley, i was forced to contemplate his act to the end. In the parking lot, there was another gentleman obviously associated with the first one that was assisting him with similar approaches and make his exit easy.

There was no physical contact, only stunning and changing of the state of mind and generally mind.

Changing one person's mind may lead to changing one person's life and if unwanted, raising the feeling of intrusion that generally qualifies as brainwashing. I think legal authorities (in the case they are not formed by themselves) might need to look into this as a restriction to one's freedom (of thought) that point to freedom of expression that some are taking too far.

Many of the comments and auto declarations i've seen so far point to the fact they are contributing to general progress.

I will not start a whole new discussion about this, but i am convinced of the opposite. Major leaps in human development have been done only through individuals, of which i can only think right now of Watt and Tesla. But the list is long. That's why standard measurement units in physics are given the names of these highly dedicated (to self and human development) individuals.

But one thing is sure. In modern times and just before them they were involved in all popular egalitarian movements that overthrew leaders and created social chaos although followed by apparent large scale social justice. I say apparent thinking also of the numerical results in human loss in the past century due to such social upheavals and overturns.
