It’s obvious to me that some people here DO grasp this ‘worldview’ on which you claim to be such an expert - and they have no problem with it.
I have not seen one post on this thread that shows any understanding at all of the secret Masonic worldview.
We can’t even reach that low bar—nobody around here is even capable of reasonably discussing the pros and cons of it.
It is fair to say that those folks who recognize it is not traditional Christianity are correct.
The secret teachings are closer to the Medieval alchemists—who are also widely misunderstood.
The kindergarten version of the Secret Teachings:
Mind and matter is one. Humans manifest their own reality. We think then we build. Then there is a feedback loop where what we have built affects what we think.
I could go on..but this stuff is so different than modern conventional thought—whether religious or scientific—that it is like speaking a foreign language.
I will give you an example of the Secret Teachings in action—in today’s world.
You will not like the example—but the anger you will feel is called a “teaching moment”.
Fifty years ago virtually nobody identified themselves as “transgender” and the few that did exist were considered very weird and mentally ill.
Today these freaks hold positions of power in Western governments and other institutions.
What happened?
That is an example of Magic.
Something was created from Nothing.
The human mind manifested an Idea (a really crazy one) and made it real in human institutions.
This was a Top Down operation.
A relatively few people drove the craziness.
They proved they had so much power they could manifest something insane in the real world.
That is the Secret.
Welcome to the Masons.
;-)
And that's a crying shame, that: they have no problem with it: indifferentism.
Papal Condemnations of the Lodge
Masonry constitutes a religion of naturalism which considers the basic Christian doctrines of the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Atonement, the necessity of baptism, and the role of the Church in the plan of salvation to be quite incidental. The lodge furthermore exacts a series of oaths from its candidates which cannot be called valid extrajudicial oaths; those who swear such oaths, agreeing to the most horrible self-mutilation in order to protect a few passwords and secret grips, are objectively guilty of either vain or rash swearing. Third, the Masonic order has historically sought to destroy the Catholic Church and to substitute a purely secular society. Posing as nonpartisan in religious affairs the lodge plumps for abolishment of parochial schools, easy divorce laws, cremation, suppression of religious orders especially the Society of Jesus, and a separation of Church and State never envisioned by the framers of the First Amendment. In addition, American Freemasonry discriminates against Negroes, promotes a spirit of religious indifference, lends itself to manifold injustices through preferential treatment of Masons by Masons, and expunges the name of Christ from lodge prayers and from Bible passages used in the ritual.
