It’s so easy to get caught up in this without fully understanding what it is. For instance one day after work, Jasmine and her mate choose the nearest pub by their office. The guy at the bar, who was pretty cute said, “if you become a member you get 30% off.” so Jasmine signs on the dotted line, gives some personal details and gets shed loads of discounted drinks, putting it all down to a fun night out.
Next day she looks in her purse and sees a card that pronounced her membership of the Freemasons club. Not really sure who they are and what they stand for, she didn’t really think anything of it, but was pleased with herself for getting bargain drinks.
Over dinner as she told me about this, I told her the little I know of the conspiracy theories around Freemasonry. Here’s a link to a video called About Freemasons, you should have a watch and come to your personal conclusions.
Jasmine wasn’t really bothered by any of it, she doesn’t believe in heaven, hell, Satan or God. She believes in a greater good and man’s ability to do good. In fact she found the whole thing pretty funny and thought perhaps she may be pretty lucky and get a break in her career.
I respect that she’s a grown woman and very intelligent, but personally, i struggle to live a life so spiritually carefree and insecure that literally anything goes…
So for the more cautious and spiritually alert i say wise up, know your enemy.
I really do not know much about the freemasons…I guess I will have to read about them after this. I would not say your friend is spiritually carefree, she has just chosen not to believe in any religion.
For me, we have to believe in something, else we will fall for anything. A ship fully anchored, will do a lot better than a ship at full sail in the middle of the ocean at the mercy of the winds.
