Truth

All truth passes through three stages:

First, it is ridiculed
Second, it is violently opposed
Third, it is accepted as self-evident!

Arthur Schopenhauer [1788-1860]

Please consider the three stages of truth as you seek the truth about yourself and Esoteric Freemasonry.  Then consider...

Man has written nothing you should believe unconditionally,
spoken nothing you should believe unconditionally,
and accomplished nothing you should believe unconditionally.

The safest route to Divine Truth is to
believe nothing that you read,
believe nothing that you hear,
believe nothing that you feel,
believe only what you know
in your mind, heart and soul
to be true
beyond all shadow of a doubt.

from "Masonry is Meditation"
Past Master Dr. John Gilbert [1977]
