A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song. (said to be an old Chinese proverb) So we contribute to these forums because we have ideas - it doesn't mean we have the answer.

It means that what a mason hears, sees, and feels communicated to him in the lodge he is not permitted to utter to the "profane." This is how I think it should be interpreted if it's to be interpreted from a masonic standpoint; of course, thanks to the wonderful internet, all of the ancient wisdom of the ages can now be read in the comfort of your own living room--whether you're profane or not profane.
Of course, that leaves us with the big question...
Why even bother to begin with?

Why bother at all. If you think that the secrets are on the internet then it is certainly not a super secret occult matter.

Silence is sometimes used to allow an energy field or an intent to grow until it is strong enough to survive the disruption of external inspection. Hence there is a tradition of conducting some spiritual practices in secret. Sceptics often have psychic powers that they instinctively use to suck the power out of spiritual processes (and out of demonstrations of psychic abilities) so as to confirm their preferred beliefs. Why do sceptics wish to prove that life is meaningless? If sceptics knew the answer to that question they might be rather dismayed. Excellent.
