Bill McE said on another thread (but I thought it better to answer here):- Indeed. Which is quite amusing really as esoterics is fundamentally very simple. Though it is an area fraught with ethics and responsibility issues, which does make it complex while you work through them. But it isn't really, it really is quite simple. But I do hear you, and understand your point Bill. Stewart,you even made that sound complicated itself

One of the dangers of esoteric study is you can make a very simple concept exstrememly complicated. Ah but the more complicated you can make it the more chance you can make a buck out of it

esoteria
Does that mean I got it right or I got it wrong.
I think I will just shut up , Stewart you make my point much better than I ever could.
I often envy the simple minded man, his brain never is strained ?

Bill,
I think tha esotericism is something extremely simple, since it regards the One. The manifestation is complicated, if man thinks to it as an entity which is untied to the One.
But if we look at it as a manyfold expression of the One, difficulties cease to be.
GeneraPike: now I understand. Thanks!
A nice week-end to all, Brethren

I am a simple minded man in many respects.
I find that clarity of the mind comes from not asking too many questions ?
The simplest concept of all is enjoyment, that we should know without disecting the entire concept. you either like it, or you do not.
You should be a Freemason because you enjoy it, if you do not , get out of it, or if your thinking of it just do not join.
I love it with all its errors and ommisions, it allows me to meet some wonderful people.
But having said that I join with Staffs when he says
It has certainly done that.

I love it with all its errors and ommisions, it allows me to meet some wonderful people. for me i have to ask many questions and i like to digest and think about the many answers and then pick the answer that i am most comfortable with.For me this is how i find clarity. I love all the errors and omissions.It would be pretty boring if we all agreed and then this forum would not exist.

I think that we are all equal because we are all different.
We are not a flock of sheep.
We are together, in spirit of brotherly love, and we form a chorus, where each of us sings the same song, however with his own peculiar tone.
From the Gospel (+ or -): "In my Father's house are many mansions" , all equally saint I add...

I need time... i am now wondering about and if i see anything worth, I pick it again. After all, Hiram himself revived, didn't he? In any case, i had a look to their esoteric section: they aren't at our level, not at all. Giovanni I tried it but found it too bruising, and I felt the Management didn't have a clue on the deep subjects we find being discussed here, the comments about dragons in the title certainly doesn't inspire confidence ;D
