Speaker 1 (03:00):
H and welcome in and welcome back to Korn's reading room,

(03:50):

Nimick is in the house.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Do you give the best introductions? My friend, the best
Welcome to Kale r In Radio. And yes, this is
my office, not really. I mean I do some reading
in here, but my library is out there. Maybe I'll
have to figure out a way to show it to
you someday. Got a great collection of books. That jazzy
music that you heard is by No No the Mosse Jackson,

(04:20):
dear friend of mine and music producer. You can follow

(04:43):
or you do music, you're a singer, a rapper, or
whatever else, go and check out most ms. Mose Jackson,
look him up, Hell him, I sent you, So yeah,
anybody who's new here, you know, I just generally go
and grab a book off the shelf for only on
episode three. I feel like I've done eighteen of these

(05:05):
but three episodes. I had to skip a couple because
I got an acting job and I had to take
off go out of town work on this awesome movie
called Kill Trip. But I'm back now and I go
out of town this week too to go do a
convention in France and Etienne, and I will be over
there through the weekend. So I'm gonna talk to our

(05:27):
buddy Rick and see if Rowdy Rick can do a
pre record for next Sunday so that we don't end
up in this kind of weird cycle where I keep disappearing.
But hello, everybody who's out there on the chat skis.
This was the book that we left off with. I
decided that we should keep up with this. It's called
The Lost Keys of Freemasonry by Manly P. Hall. It

(05:50):
is just an absolute gem. I really highly suggest ordering it.
If you do order it, try and order it from
the Philosophical Research Society, which is many Pep Hall founded
that and it still exists today. I've done some courses
over there in the past when I lived in Los
Angeles's and Los Felz. If you're traveling to La definitely

(06:10):
go to those feelz. Visit the Philosophical Research Society. He
has an amazing a book shop there you and he's
just I would highly recommend you look up Manly P.
Hall on YouTube or rumble or whatever, and there's a
lot of old lectures of his that he recorded. Every
Sunday he would do lectures at the Philosophical Research Society

(06:34):
and they were all incredible. So, you know, I won't
go back into the stuff that we did last week.
If you are interested, you can go back and watch
last week's episode and catch up. But where we did
leave off was on page thirty and again I just
go through and I read the areas. I don't know

(06:55):
if you can see that as a bad reflection, but
I just I outline the stuff that jumps out to me,
and so I'll just go through read it and we'll,
you know, kind of expound on it. What's up everybody? Hello, everybody,
I see you over there. I promise, I promise, I
see you all. Grateful Calvin Alan Ray raptor little miss
Twitch of course, Rick Robinson, the Commodore Green and uh,

(07:19):
the Immortal Twin. I see you all, and you're all
welcome here. I love you. Uh So here in the
second paragraph there's highlighted. It talks about the light. Right
So the light is uh, the the light is the inspiration.
It's it's the consciousness. It's uh, it's that that moment

(07:41):
when when we have an idea, that aha moment in
life where you know, where where something just suddenly all
makes sense and that kind of you know, that that
state you could you could call it like a state
of bodie and like in Buddhism. But inspiration is a
good way of considering ing what it what it means.
So this light enables us to seek more clearly the

(08:05):
mysteries of creation and to find with greater certainty our
place in the Great Plan. And I love that little
line right there, because you know, I think that that's
something that that all of us kind of can be
curious about us, like, what is it? What's the whole
point of this? What are we even doing here? What
is what is this? You know? Just born to to die,

(08:27):
just born to go to work every day, drive the
same route, do the same things, see the same people,
all the you know, all of that. You know. But
uh and in a sense that that that that is
the journey, and it's just how we take that journey.
I suppose that's that that separates man from beast. Hopefully
it continues so when man can mold his thoughts, his emotions,

(08:51):
and his actions into faithful expressions of his highest ideals,
then liberty is his uh. For ignorance is the darkness
of chaos, and knowledge is the light of cosmos. When
having discovered that the pleasures of sense gratification are eternally
elusive and unsatisfying, we make an examination of ourselves and

(09:14):
begin to realize that there are greater reasons for our being.
And I, you know, I love that even if we
never fully uncover what is the greater reason for our
existence or our being. I was just telling my son
the other day, you know, one of the greatest accomplishments
you can have in life is being a decent kind

(09:34):
person to others, and you know, living a good life,
and it's not always easy, you know, we run into
struggles and relationship problems and familial problems and work problems
and all of the other kind of things that that
can crush us and and really bring us down. But

(09:56):
through those struggles, you know, hopefully we end up at
the end of the day making a beneficial decision that
helps everyone involved in our lives. Right, So, somewhere behind
the veil of human ignorance there is an eternal light
toward which step by step we must labor in fear

(10:17):
and trembling. Yet with a divine realization of good, he
raps on the door and awaits in silence the answer
from within. And now going on to chapter three The
Entered Apprentice, there are three grand steps and the unfoldment
of the human soul before it completes the dwelling place
of the spirit. These have been called, respectively, youth, manhood,

(10:39):
and old age, or, as the Mason would say, the
entered Apprentice, the fellow craft, and the master Builder. All
life passes through these three grand stages of human consciousness.
At birth, we start our pilgrimage through youth, manhood, and
old age. So the spiritual consciousness of man in his
cosmic path of unfoldment, passes from unconsciousness to perfect consciousness

(11:02):
in the grand lodge of the universe. You know that
that to me, that those bits there, they just they
grab me because that it's kind of like the mystery
of the sphinx. You know what, what is born on
on four legs, lives on two and dies on three

(11:24):
and that's you know, a man's a man, woman whatever,
you know. But uh, you know what, what what is
it do we do we stop that that journey of
so called enlightenment or curiosity or uh, you know, our interests?
Do we just because we've been beaten up by life,

(11:45):
because we're just too busy in survival mode to even
entertain something outside of the norm?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Is that? Is that just our destiny to to never
do anything other than what we're forced to do to survive.
And I think that that, you know, yes, I'm in
mind that there is no greater purpose, Nothing ultimately matters,
and if nothing matters, then we then what we do
is all that matters. And that's Samuel the Infamous just

(12:15):
wrote that, and that's exactly totally right. You know. It's uh,
it's what we do and how we do it and
at the end of the day, hopefully, uh, those things
equal a good outcome. And Uh. The other thing that
I just wanted to touch on too is that it's
you know, I was thinking about this earlier today. The
greatest crime that has been committed against that the young

(12:38):
people of today is, uh, is the dumbing down of
our of our youth and this kind of indoctrination into
into ignorance, you could say, Uh, that goes on from
the youngest age in elementary school to graduating high school.
If you graduate and what you graduate even knowing anymore,

(13:01):
you know, they've they've changed the curriculum so much they
don't even teach cursive writing anymore. I I had to
go and try and teach my son cursive and you know,
because that school top stopped teaching it, which is fine,
but it was a battle to to even get him
to engage in that. You know, I never successfully got
him to fully commit to it. You know what I mean,

(13:24):
because I feel like cursive when you when you write
and cursive it's sort of an expression of yourself. You know.
My mother and father both have amazing cursive handwriting, and
I and I kind of taken after them. I have
pretty pretty good cursive handwriting when I when I put
my mind to it. But but my point is that,
you know, if you're not introduced to some kind of

(13:45):
higher ideals or or some type of of of a
idea of greater purpose at a very young age, I just,
I mean, I see that. It's just it's tragic what's
happened to that to our youth of today, because they're
being raised by the Internet, by TikTok videos and you know,
everybody can be famous with the phone, and you know,

(14:08):
the more crazy stuff that you film or do or
post or you know, how you behave, you know, the
more interesting I guess you are. And my acting teacher
Monotupo said, you know, the most fascinating actor to watch
is not the one that's interesting, it's the one who's interested.
And and that's I think that's very true. But so yeah,

(14:33):
that's you know, I think that if we had a
revamping of the educational system and and and introduced you know,
this kind of idea of cosmic principles and and you know,
ultimate goals for ourselves, for humanity, and what we can
do to give back and all of that kind of stuff.
I think that that would be massive, and also to

(14:53):
bring back trade the trades into into schools and stuff.
When I was young, they had wood shop, and they
had metal s shop, and they had electric shop, and
you know, they in high school you could go into
the car you could do car shop, you could you know.
So they were actually teaching trades that by the time
you graduated high school, if you had taken it for

(15:14):
enough years, you could literally go and start working at
a mechanic shop, which is a great gig as far
as I'm concerned. So it goes on here, page thirty four.
The mason must realize that his true initiation is a
spiritual and not a physical ritual. The true initiation depends
upon the cultivation of certain soul qualities. The degree of

(15:36):
entered apprentice is acquired when the student signifies his intention
to take the rough ashlar, when he cuts from the
quarry and prepares for the truing of the fellow craft.
For all, spiritual life must be raised upon a material foundation.
So the rough ashlar and ashlar is just a stone.
The rough ashlar is a stone that has just been

(15:59):
roughly cut out of a quarry or even just found
already uh in in kind of a bolder form, and
then with hammer and chisel, with with time and attention
to detail, can be perfected into a perfect square uh
for for being set into some type of edifice. And uh.

(16:22):
And that's the that's what we're attempting to do, uh
with ourselves, the character traits that we have that we
don't like about ourselves, the things that that we find
fault within ourselves. Is is hopefully attempting to the best
of our abilities to chisel away at that and and

(16:43):
get to a place where, you know, where where we
can at least feel good about about ourselves and hopefully
other people can feel good about us too. Now, let
me tell you something. There's no perfection. I am messing
up all the time. But it's uh, it's at least
interesting to think about. So. And also how it talks

(17:05):
about here thoughts, emotions and actions. I call that the
t tea thoughts, emotions and actions. Have you you know,
what have you had your t for the day? What
are you thinking about? How are you feeling? And what
are you doing? You know? So I think that's something
to kind of consider when, when, when being involved in

(17:26):
the day, what are you thinking about? How are you feeling?
And what are you doing? As the spiritual consciousness progresses
through the chain, the lower lose connection with it when
it has raised itself above their level, until finally only
the grand masters are capable of remaining in session, and

(17:47):
unknown even to the Master Mason, it finally passes back
again to the spiritual hierarchy from which it came. All
growth is the result of exercise and the intensifying of
vibratory rates. It is obvious that the rough ashlar symbolizes
the body. It also represents cosmic roots, substance, which is
taken out of the quarry of the universe by the

(18:09):
first expressions of intelligence and molded by them into ever
finer and more perfect lines, until finally it becomes the
perfect stone for the builder's temple on the vibratory rates.
You know, all growth is the result of exercise and
the intensifying of vibratory rates. You know, all life is,

(18:29):
as they've suggested, and even in theoretical physics is vibratory
and nature and vibratory is tonal. So you know what
kind of what is the tone that we're emitting. So
that's like a frequency and you could say that's that's
an auric type of thing, you know, it's it's a vibe.
You can get vibes from people. Well, that's a frequency,

(18:51):
that's a pulse, it's a you know, it's an energy
that's being put out there. And you know, I think
that and with respect to to the intensifying of vibratory
rates when you get into like Buddhism, uh, which I'm i.
You know, I studied at the Dawis Instituo of La

(19:12):
back in the day when I was in my late twenties,
and I studied there for maybe three years or so,
doing key gung and meditation and stuff. But I never
I never committed to it as a lifestyle, which probably
would have served me very well. So I understand it,
you know, from that time period of experience studying it
and uh and intellectually, but I don't know if i'm

(19:36):
you know, if I can say that I'm the vibe
of that, you know what I mean. But but the
you know, what is our vibe is is a big deal,
you know, and uh, I know that that My wife
will say that, you know, in some mornings with my grumps,
I'm not giving off the best vibe and that's something
that I need to work on. Right, we all got

(19:58):
something that we can work on. But thinking about you know,
what's my vibe, how am I feeling? What am I
emitting from myself? And what are other people emitting? Do
I want to vibrate on that frequency? Do I want
to introduce that into my world? Or do I want
to let go of that? And you know, I mean
sometimes we got to let go of friendships because it's
too bad of a vibe. Right, But so few realize

(20:22):
that since the universe is made up of individuals in
various stages of development, responsibility is consequently individual, and everything
which man wishes to gain he must himself build and maintain.
The lost key of the entered apprentice is service. His
work is to do, to act, to express himself in

(20:43):
some way, constructively if possible, but destructively, rather than not
at all. Without action, he loses his great work. Without
tools which symbolize the body, he cannot act in an
organized manner with his concrete ideals. He must beautify all
with which he comes in contact, so that the works
of his hand may be acceptable in the eyes of

(21:05):
the great architect of the universe. It's just beautiful. This
guy's I mean, this is man they Behall is just
a brilliant writer. He's got so many books, so many books.
And yes, exactly, there's no deep reflection or introspection into self. Yeah,
there's not a lot of that anymore, little miss Twitch,
you are correct. There's you know, it's it's it's all

(21:26):
through these devices. And trust me. I get on, I
go down the you know, the death scroll myself or
it's like, oh, seven seconds of this, seven seconds of that,
seven seconds of this. This is deadly. It's deadly. So
here at the gates of the Temple of Wisdom, bound

(21:47):
with the cable toe of limitation, poor in spirit and body,
man seeks admittance to the University of Understanding and the
ancient mysteries. The order of the steps was seven, five,
and three, the seven level arts and signs, the five
senses and emotions, and the three steps symbolic of the
trinity of God and Man. All initiation is the result

(22:09):
of adjustments of the evolving life to the physical, emotional,
and mental planes of consciousness through which it passes. It
is essential that the entered apprentice must devote himself to
the study of his own being and its mysteries and complexities,
which is true. You know, being extroverted is is great,

(22:30):
and introverted to has its, you know, has its benefits.
Obviously there's always going to be a special balance between
between both and missus bro say hello, yes, hello, missus Bro.
I hope everyone's good. Oh, yes, my darling is watching.

(22:52):
That's so sweet.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
I was just I was trying to tell you that.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
You're so wonderful. Thank you, Ricky. Yes, my darling, Sabrina
is in there. And uh, and you know, I apologize
for my morning grubs and all the apologies and but
you know, going on here. So, you know, do what
time how much time do we even devote to thinking

(23:18):
about you know, who we are, what we're doing, and
and and and what are we getting out of life?
Because the pressures and stresses of life can can and
will cause us to behave and cause me to behave
in ways that that that aren't uh, that aren't healthy,
that aren't that aren't good vibes, that aren't giving off
good frequencies, and that aren't you know, maintaining kind of

(23:42):
a balanced status quo, which doesn't mean that you have
to be boring or not go out and let loose
or have a good time or whatever. But it's got
to be done in some semblance of you know, you're
you're living, You're you're doing it the right way. You're
you know what I mean. But uh so uh. The
answer to Prentice must realize that his body is the

(24:02):
living temple of the living God and treated accordingly. The
breaking of his pact with the higher life evolving within
himself unfailingly invokes the retributive I'm sorry, the retributive agencies
of nature. Human relationships must be idealized at this time,

(24:22):
and he must seek to unfold all unselfish qualities which
are necessary for the harmonious working of the Mason and
his fellow men on the physical plane of nature. The
mason must realize that his innermost motives are the index
of his real self, and those who allow social position,
financial or business considerations, or selfish and materialistic ideals to

(24:45):
lead them into the Masonic brotherhood have thereby automatically separated
themselves from the craft. So, I mean, in masonry they
talk about the craft and the craft. You know, you
can't have a craft without working tools. So you know,
there's the word working tools of the operative mason, who
is the person who's actually out there building things, and
then there's the working tools of the speculative mason, and

(25:06):
they all are the same thing. So you know, you
have the squares to square our actions. The compasses is
to circumscribe our passions and keep our desires within due bounds.
The hammer and chisels. The chisel away at the character
defects and the imperfections that we have about ourselves. And
even in a physical sense, you know, if you don't

(25:28):
feel like you're in the best shape, then part of
that is getting in better shape and whatever way that
you feel you can to just feel a little bit
better about ourselves. And you know, the plumb is to
keep ourselves upright. And you know the stringline or the
that's the plumb line, and the ruler is to or

(25:51):
what's called the twenty four inch gauge is to separate
our time equally between eight hours of rest, eight hours
of work, eight hours of relaxation, and it goes on,
you know, So the working tools of the operative bason
can be applied to life as a speculative mason, and
in some sense to to to build this so called temple,

(26:11):
within this this lodge for the grand architect of the
universe to live in that that we are part and
parcel to. You know, when we were reach you know,
some will call them God. There's a lot of different
names for God. There's yahweh, there's all others, you know,
whatever else you know. But uh, But the idea of
reaching for for something that's greater and and and higher

(26:32):
than we are, that that it will reach down towards
us as we reach towards it, and there'll be that union.
But if we're not, if we're not fit for for
any kind of union like that, then there will be
no reaching. But so uh, it goes on on chapter four.
The fellow craft life manifests not only through action on

(26:56):
the physical plane, but through human emotion and sentiment. Like
spirited horses chafing at the bit, like hounds eager for
the chase, the emotional powers cannot be held in check,
but break the walls of restraint and pour forth as
fiery expressions of dynamic energy. Through the perversion of human emotions,

(27:16):
there comes into the world untold sorrow, which through reaction,
manifests in the mental and physical bodies, The spiritual light
rays of cosmos, the fire princes of the dawn, which
seethe and surge through the unregenerate man, are the impulses
which he perverts to murder and hate. The ceaseless power
of chaos, the seething pinwheel spirals of perpetual motion, whose

(27:40):
majestic cadences are the music of the spheres, are energized
by the same great power that man uses to destroy
the highest and the best. I'll just finish this s
up real quickly. The same energy that is building the
temple of God is now a merciless slave driver, which
mastered an uncurbed strikes the compassionate one and sends him

(28:04):
reeling backward into the darkness of his person. And that's
just you know, again, if there's not if we don't
have some semblance of balance within ourselves, if I don't
feel some semblance of balance within myself, that that that uh,
that unstable you know, part of me will will we'll

(28:27):
start to become unbalanced, I mean, that's the best way
to say it. And that the potential for miss emotions
and and uh and behaviors that aren't conducive to maintaining
good relationships not only with myself but with others and

(28:47):
all of that. That's that's you know, that maintaining some
kind of balance of emotional condition is really really important.
And the way he wrote this, I mean, god, he's
such a beautiful writer. The spiritual light, rays of cosmos,
the fire princes of the dawn which seethe and surge
through the unregenerate man, or the impulses which he perverts

(29:08):
to murder and hate. And that's when you get into
the the You know, these individuals who've gotten so dark
and so demonic that that you know, it's it's totally
okay for them to go out and do horrible things
to others, to steal from others, to murder, to molest,
to do whatever other criminal behavior, and feel fully justified

(29:31):
in it for some dark, ridiculous reason. It's it's true, uh,
true insanity. The strength of man was not given to
be used destructively, but that he might build a temple
worthy to be the dwelling place of the grand architect
of the universe. Man can only expect to be entrusted
with great power by proving his ability to use it

(29:55):
constructively and selflessly. Incessant vigilance overthought, actually and desire is
indispensable to those who wish to make progress in the
unfolding of their own being. The heart that hates must
learn the mystery of compassion as the result of a
deeper and more perfect understanding of man's relation to his brother.

(30:15):
The firm, kind hand of spirit must curb the flaming
powers of emotion with an iron grip. Man must realize
that all the powers which his many years of need
have earned for him have come in order that through
them he may liberate more fully the prisoner within his
own being. The spiritual duty is to reach the point

(30:37):
of poise or balance, which is always secured between extremes compassion, poise,
and transmutation. So it's you know, again, it seems repetitive,
but we all need to be beaten over the head
with certain things in order to recognize that there is

(31:00):
the possibility of some type of dynamic change or understanding
about the reasons for even being here in the first place,
and to somehow attempt to define what that is. And
and I'm not saying that there's any type of perfection

(31:20):
available to any of us. I think probably the greatest
perfection that anybody could probably could likely attain is is
the nothingness of something like literally doing nothing, you know,
I mean it doesn't mean that that you're not doing good,
you're not engaging in good behavior bad behavior, and it's

(31:40):
like no behavior really could be perceived as the best
behavior because you're one way or the other. You aren't
making any type of dynamic, you know, change or shift
in energies or whatever. And I think, you know, that's
sort of the point of meditation is is when you
go into that that that state of of it's not

(32:03):
like non existence. It's not like you're you're you're you're
not trying to you're you're you're not trying to not think.
It's it's the idea of the thoughts being like leaves
in the wind, that you're not trying to attach oneself
to anything that is, you know, is being thought of.

(32:24):
So and that's this is what I was taught when
I was studying at the Dallas Institute was just you know,
don't don't try to force yourself to have a blank mind,
but be able to allow the thoughts to pass through
the mind like watching a river passing by from the shoreline.
You know, you're you're, you're not being the river. You're

(32:45):
you know, you're being the shore and you're just seeing
the river pass by, and that's the vibe. You know,
it's very interesting. So man must realize that all powers
which his many years of need have earned for him
have come in order that through them he may liberate
more fully the prisoner within his own being. I already

(33:07):
read that part, but it's important, I think, you know,
just to read it again real quick, because it's like,
you know, we're all prisoners. We're all trapped in some sense,
just even in this body, in this physical universe, in
our daily routine, you know, in our lives, that there
can be these trappings that especially financial trappings can be

(33:28):
the worst in this materialistic universe that we're in. As
you know, there's almost no greater stresses in today's day
and age then financial conditions, financial situations. So a lot
of people are agreeing with that one. And it's tragic
because you know, there was we haven't grown up in

(33:51):
that time period, but there was a time period when
you know, before a centralized banking system and a fiat currency,
when money actually was worth something and you needed very
little of it to you know, to get you know,
to purchase items and to get what you need in
life and to survive. And there wasn't all of these
regulations and rules and taxes and all of this other stuff.

(34:14):
There was a time in this very country before the
Federal Reserve existed, when when life was very different. I mean,
can you imagine no federal income tax and no real
property taxes to speak of any kind. You know that
I won't get into too much of that, but the
postal Service is to blame for the introduction of property

(34:37):
taxes in some respect. Off, it's a whole dinner conversation.
I have another book about that, but we shall continue.
He should now study himself and realize that he cannot
receive promotion to the spiritual lodge until his heart is
attuned to a superior spiritual influx from the causal planes
of consciousness. That's a great line. He should now He

(35:02):
should now study himself and realize that he cannot receive
promotion into the spiritual lodge until his heart is attuned
to a superior spiritual influx from the causal planes of consciousness.
The causal planes of consciousness. I mean that you know
just the concept of that alone, uh is is so

(35:25):
potent the causal planes of consciousness. It's uh, you know,
there's a in the Hindu Lord, there's the acacic record
or the acacic field, and it's basically that that the universe,
this electromagnetic universe, is recording every potential. It's recording everything
that has happened, everything that is happening, and everything that
potentially might happen in the future. And that uh that

(35:49):
that we we ourselves can tune into the the acacic
field and we can into it information from it. And
so in the sense that anybody who invent something some
kind of cool new device or gadget or you know whatever,
you could even say the the Internet itself is is
a physical manifestation of the acosic field, and that that

(36:13):
that are being attuned with with that, that kind of
radiance is the reason why we're even able to come
up with these new and inventive ideas the causal planes
of consciousness. Can we tune into that? Can we even
vibe with it? Can we even think about it? Uh,
you know, don't think about it too hard while you're driving.

(36:35):
We want you to pay attention to the road as well.
But uh, I highly recommend if you have a long
drive to work, or if you're in the car a
lot listening to the Manly p Hall lectures and Alan
Watts lectures. Alan Watts is is like one of my
favorite philosophers in modern time. Alan Watts's lectures are just

(36:56):
he's entertaining, he's funny, he's thoughtful, and he's got a
British accent, which is just everybody loves sort of it's
it's kind of yes, yes, it's an interesting accent. He's
got a great accent. So on to chapter five the Master.
There are some there are some under the impression that
the Fed Reserve was illegally ratified. You agree with that. Well,

(37:20):
the reason why they say that is because they brought
it to a vote on December twenty third of nineteen thirteen,
when almost all of Congress and everybody else were off
at home and weren't able to vote on it. So
there was only you know, a small amount of New

(37:43):
World Order enthusiasts who were there to to push it through.
And there was a you know, an uproar at the
time after that happened, because there was there was numerous
other attempts to you know, to introduce the Central Bank
to the US and and they continuously failed.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
There it's it's hard to imagine that there's another way
for the United States to uh to to do its banking,
you know that that's that's but there is and there
has been, and there's there's many there's there's a there's
a number of different ways. I got some books on
that too, But so yeah, I do believe that there

(38:27):
was some surreptitious activity going on during the time period
of the passing of the Reserve Act that that that
definitely could have been caused for it to be overturned.
But uh, but we can we can just say, oh,
Woodrow Wilson, you know that that traitorous Woodrow Wilson was

(38:48):
the one who signed it into law.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, since we're crossing into my wheelhouse, let's not forget
that three of the biggest detractors of the centralized bank
went down on what was supposed to be the Titanic
androbably turned out to be its sister ship.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Yes, yes, exactly, that's a fascinating rabbit hole to go down,
and uh, yes that the there is a a very
interesting theory about the fact that that that ship was
intentionally scuttled with with a bunch of uh a, very
patriotic American families that were on board, who who very

(39:25):
well could have turned the tides of you know, where
we went as a as a country, as a nation
back then because they they had so much sway over
you know, over American politics at the time in a
positive way.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
You know.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
That's yeah, that's that's a that's a great rabbit hole.
Chapter five. The Master Mason wisdom and understanding are the
only true measurements of age. He no longer depends upon
the words of others, but upon the still voice that
speaks from the heart of his own being. There's no
more glorious position than a and may hold than that

(40:01):
of a master builder who has risen by labor through
the degrees of human consciousness. Genius. The Master Mason embodies
the power of the human mind, that connecting link which
binds heaven and Earth together in an endless chain. His
spiritual light is greater because he has evolved a higher

(40:22):
vehicle for its expression. And that line here on the
previous page. You know, there is no more glorious position
that a man may hold than that of a master
builder who has risen by labor through the degrees of
human consciousness. See, it doesn't say anything in here about

(40:43):
being rich and powerful. You know, there's nothing wrong with
making money and being successful because as we all know,
you know, financial affluence does give us a lot more
ability to to play in the world. But at the
same time, as as I'm sure many of you know,

(41:07):
there are those individuals who who have you know, access
to more financial freedom, but they can't really use it
because they're so busy maintaining the finances and all the
chaos that goes without all the moving parts that go
with that, that it can be overwhelming. Even for the

(41:28):
person you know who does have a good amount of money,
the management of that can be just as big of
a trap as the person who is struggling to make
ends meet. As as interesting as that sounds, but but
that's you know, that's the that's the world that we're
in now. So there's got to be some sembilance of

(41:49):
balance that we can find between the material and the spiritual.
And and uh, you know that that dialectic materialism, which
is like is the state the state or condition that
this is all there is? There is no spiritual universe
and that you know, yeah, live by paycheck to paycheck. Brother.
You know, I definitely get it. You know, I certainly

(42:10):
people would see my my uh you know, my IMDb
and be like, Yo, this dude must be rolling in it.
But uh, you know, the projects don't pay what they
used to. And if you're only doing you know, two
or three independent films a year, thank God for the
autograph signing. So I get you caught a man. It's uh, uh,

(42:32):
it's you know, it's it's a tough game to play,
and that's why it is great to have, you know,
a partner in your life where you know, each week
can all share in the discomfort of the physical universe
and hopefully make it better for each other in some way. Uh.
So that so that we can at least have a

(42:53):
a condition of living where we're we're not we're not
totally always stressed all the time time, and that just
puts a lot of bad chemicals in the body, and
it's a bad vibe in life, you know, to live
that way. The ancients taught that the sun was not

(43:14):
a source of light, life, or power, but a medium
through which life and light were reflected into physical substance.
The Master Mason is, in truth a Sun, a great
reflector of light who radiates through his organism, purified by
ages of preparation, the glorious power, which is the light

(43:35):
of the lodge. That's also sometimes called the Inner Sanctum,
saying Torum, the Holy of Holies. In in some free
Masonic philosophy, the idea of Solomon's Temple, the original one
was not that it was actually physically built in reality,

(43:57):
but that it was designed in the mind, and that
this is this is what we're trying to do, is
to create a temple in the mind where in the
Holy of Holies is that place where we can be alone,
in the Inner Sanctum, and and and be alone, not
just with ourselves, but be alone with the grand architect
of the universe. You know that that divine being that

(44:20):
encompasses all things, And in that aloneness we suddenly become
attached to everything. And you know that that is that
that is the ultimate extraversion, you know, is being able
to even fathom this idea, that that we can be
connected to everything that's that that is existing in present time,

(44:41):
for better or for worse. Right, But his symbol is
the rising Sun, for in him the globe of day
has indeed risen in all its splendor from the darkness
of the night, illuminating the immortal east with the first
promise of approaching day. He realizes that the choice of
a void responsibility is no longer his, and that for

(45:03):
him all problems must be met and solved. The greatest
sermon he can preach, the greatest lesson he can teach,
is that of standing forth and living. Sorry, let me
reread that. The greatest sermon he can preach, the greatest
lesson he can teach, is that of standing forth a
living proof of the eternal plan. The triple energies of thought, desire,

(45:26):
and action must be united in harmonious blending of expression.
I know we're already coming out on forty five minutes,
so I want to try and get through this, the
rest of this. But you know, he realizes that the
choice of avoiding responsibility is no longer his, and that
for him all problems must be met and solved. The

(45:47):
greatest sermon he can preach, the greatest lesson he can teach,
is that of standing forth, a living proof of the
eternal plan. And it's that's just beautiful to me, just
the idea that and again it just it comes back
to that. You know that that at least that at
least you're trying to to do there to be a

(46:09):
good person in life and it and it trusts me,
it doesn't always work. There's a lot of of of
of flows and and and pressures and uh in relationships,
especially as we all know, you know, we we we
all come uh there. Yeah, the Temple of Solomon was

(46:30):
metaphysical and the demons he used to but we're metaphorical
and alchemy is the real art of life. Yes, alien perspective.
I love that dude. He's got some great memes. He's
the mean king. Uh, follow him on on Twitter if
you like, if you're like an offensive meme every now
and then, he's the best at it.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
But yeah, man, that's totally I'm I'm right there with you.
It's uh, you know, I'm I'm not into thet the
whole demonology side of things. That's not my my bag.
Uh that then there there were that it was said,
you know that Solomon had the the you know that
his his ability to to speak and summon uh demons.

(47:08):
But at the same time, you know, this gets into
this idea of like what is that are these are
these are intelligences. These are our actual disembodied entities. Are
these just aspects of our own self that are latent?
You know what is that? And uh, I think that
that the best thing that we can summon is you know,

(47:33):
a good feeling, a good vibe, right Rick, You.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Know, I definitely agree there. I'm still working on my
vibes because.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
You know, hey, dude, you got the best vibes. I
love your vibes. I'd like to spread your vibes on
my bagels in the morning, delicious.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
I don't usually do this for this type of show,
but we have rules and you've earned this one, so
giggity go.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
So the things which we see around us are but
forms promises of a thing unnamed, symbols of a truth unknown.
It is in the spiritual temple, built without the voice
of workmen or the sound of hammer, that the true
initiation is given, and there, robed in the simple lambskin
of a purified body, the student becomes a master mason,

(48:23):
chosen out of the world to be an active worker
in the name of the great Architect. Yeah. I mean
just this guy is just manly p Hall and this
is like not even one of his like more you know,
more profound books. This is like a stepping stone of

(48:43):
of of his wisdom. But I think that that's again,
that's that's what we're trying to hopefully all achieve in
life is just is is finding that that that middle
road where where we can be in communication with the
universe around us, but in a way that isn't totally

(49:06):
and completely disruptive. I know that that's it can be
a task because there's so many pressures in life and
and and there's different moving parts. Because each individual person
out there has their own idea of what's right and
wrong and what they want to see, uh in somebody else,
how they want to see somebody else behave what they
want to see somebody else do. And then the individual has,

(49:28):
you know, what they want to do well, how they
perceive themselves, how do they want to behave? What what
actions do they want to take? You know what in
these these this clashing of of of of personalities and
vibes is like you know, that can be that can
become a beautiful day. You know, one vibe can be
you know, it can be a bright, bright cloudless sky

(49:51):
with a with a with a warm sunshine and the
other vibe can be the beach with the with the
still breeze, and and uh and and the tweeting, and
those two vibes go great together. And then other times
you know that those vibes can become a cyclone and
a storm, and it can become quite chaotic. Right, So

(50:13):
it's important to try and communicate a little bit better
on a deeper level too, which I got to work
on myself. I'm not I'm not saying that I'm, by
no stretch of the imagination do i want any of
you to think that just because I'm interested in this
kind of stuff and know about this kind of stuff,
that I have anyway am the master builder of the

(50:35):
Inner Temple of Peace. Okay. But so every true Mason
has come into the realization that there is but one
lodge that is the universe, and but one brotherhood composed
of everything that moves or exists in any of the
planes of nature. He realizes that his vow of brotherhood
and fraternity is universal, and that mineral, plant, animal, and

(50:58):
man are all included in the true Masonic craft. The
mystic Mason in building the eyes that see behind the
apparent ritual recognizes the oneness of life manifesting through the
diversity of form. The true discipline of ancient Masonry has
given up forever the worship of personalities. With his greater insight,

(51:21):
he realizes that all forms and their position in material
affairs are of no importance to him and compared to
the life which is evolving within. I know we're already
coming on in fifty one minutes this part right here, though.
You know, the true disciple of ancient Masonry has given
up forever the worship of personalities. And I'll get into

(51:44):
some books on Cabbala down the road. It's Cabbala can
be pretty complex to wrap your head around. But I
got this when I studied at the Cabbalah Institute out
in Los Angeles. The rabbi that I was studying with,
I have one of his books out there that he wrote,
and you know it, basically when I had the biggest
Aha moment ever, one of the biggest Aha moments ever

(52:07):
when I was studying with him, is that that in
in in the mystical uh Judaism and the Kabbalah Uh,
the the word satan, or as we call it, satan,
Satan is the the human ego is the the solidified
personality that that we can become uh worshipers of you know,

(52:30):
we worship our own self and the importance of our
own self and how great we are or what we
want to achieve, you know, forget what what damage it
might cause to others. That's you know, what we're going
to do anyway, and that you know, so the the
idea of of like let's just say a Satanic cult

(52:54):
would be a cult of personality. You know that all
of these individuals are believing that they as as as
an individualized ego is the God is the greatest achievement,
is the greatest accomplishment that you can have, is becoming
this you know, this thing which is just a projection
into the metaphysical universe, that that through our own intention,

(53:16):
we're manifesting this idea of personality. My my acting teacher,
Monotupo at the American Repertory Company where I studied for
fifteen years, you know, was was he just railed against
the idea of becoming a solidified version of ourselves. He
hated the idea of a personality that was that was

(53:38):
permanent and fixed and that that that was you know,
held into place constantly. He just He just said, you
got to let go of it. Let go of it,
let go of it. Don't try to be you know,
this idea of yourself, just fricking be, you know, just be,
just vibe. And that that to me is uh, you know,
is really important, really important. So material prosperity is not

(54:06):
the measurement of soul growth. There is one connected life principle,
the spark of God. In all living things. Northeast, south,
and west stretch the diversities of human thought. And while
the ideals of man apparently differ, when all is said
and the crystallization of form with its false concepts is
swept away, one basic truth remains. All existing things are

(54:28):
temple builders laboring for a single end. There is no
place for little minds in a great work. The true
master mason enters his lodge with one thought uppermost in
his mind. How can I, as an individual, be of
greater use in the universal plan? No true brother seeks
anything for himself, but unselfishly labors for the good of all.

(54:51):
The true light can come only to those who, asking nothing,
gladly give all to it. The true brother of the craft,
while constantly striving to improve himself, he mentally, physically, and spiritually,
through the days of his life, never makes his own
desires the goal of his works. You know, I know
we're at fifty five minutes and I want to get

(55:13):
through the rest of this. There's some stories in the
back that if you buy this book you can just
read and they're just they're just cool, uh, you know,
kind of cool cool continuation. But this but that's just
you know, again that just stressing that part of it.
You know, no true brother seeks anything for himself, but
unselfishly labors for the good of all. And again, like
I said, you know, to my son, not the long coat.
It's like, what's what's the best thing that we can

(55:35):
be is is is a decent a decent person, you know,
And and and even even when we're out in life
being being kind of even if somebody else is a jerk,
it doesn't mean that we have to be a jerk back.
We don't have to reflect that jerk them, you know,
because because then we're taking you know, their bad vibe

(55:57):
and we're making it our bad vibe, and we're reflecting
that bad vibe at them. And what are we gonna
do is We're gonna leave with that bad vibe. Instead,
let that person be in that vibe and don't try
to change it or shift it, or just flow positive
energy at them. Hopefully that will rub off. But otherwise,
you know, being reactive is a very is there. There's

(56:19):
a fine line there and being reactive, you know for sure.
So my father was raised by the Saint Francisco monks
in Italy until my grandfather could get him to America,
and they taught that God and the devil are both
within us. Yeah totally, Carlo, yes, yeah, one hundred percent.
And also Ralph Lindy said they're the devil within too.
And Ralph Lindy is he he really digs the tarot cards.

(56:43):
And and Ralph Lindy, you should definitely get on the
on the Philosophical Research Society website and and get Manley P.
Hall's tarot card deck. It's supposedly from what I've been
told from other people who like tarot is it's it's
the best. It's better than the rider. Wait one, And
that's what I been told. So counting down, I'm going
to jump into these last couple of paragraphs here real quick,

(57:05):
and I won't come back to this book next time. Well,
we'll find another one. But every mason knows that a
broken vow brings with it a terrible penalty. Let him
also realize that failure to live mentally, spiritually, and morally
up to one's highest ideals constitutes the greatest of all
broken oaths. When a mason swears that he will devote
his life to the building of his father's house and

(57:26):
then defiles his living temple through the perversion of mental power,
emotional force, and active energy, he is breaking a vow
which imposes not hours, but ages of misery. If he
is worthy to be a mason, he must be great
enough to restrain the lower side of his own nature,
which is daily murdering his grand master. He must realize
that a misdirected life is a broken vow, and that

(57:49):
daily service, purification, and the constructive application of energy is
a living invocation which builds within and draws to him
the power of the Creator. An impure life as a
broken trust, a destructive action is a living curse. A
narrow mind is a strangled chord around the throat of
God within himself. He must build those qualities which will

(58:10):
make possible his true understanding of the craft. He can
show the world only forms which mean nothing. The life
within is forever concealed until the eye of Spirit reveals it.
If he allows himself for one moment to lose his
simplicity and humility, a fall is inevitable. The true brother
is always noted for his simplicity. The speculative craft will

(58:32):
then become operative, and the ancient wisdom, so long concealed,
will rise from the ruins of his temple as the
greatest spiritual truth yet revealed to man. Many brethren make
a great mistake in building a wall around their secrets,
for they succeed only in shutting out their own light.
Their divine opportunity is at hand. The time has come

(58:52):
when the world needs the ancient wisdom as never before.
The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of Man were
united in the completion and of the Eternal Temple, the
great work for which all things came into being, and
through which all shall glorify their Creator. And that's it
for the for the main you know, all the main chapters,
and and it's perfect timing. It's fifteen, it's it's we're

(59:15):
out of this now. But I just want to highly
recommend reading this book. You don't have to be a
Freemason to dig what it's being said in here. And
if you are interested in freemason recall your the secretary
of your local lodge and ask for a meeting. But uh,
but I'll tell you you know it's I highly recommend
this book, and The Lost Keys of Freemasonry is an

(59:38):
incredible read. You'll get a lot out of it. And
I just want to thank Kellor and Radio for this
opportunity to talk about Manly P. Hall and his works.
We'll talk about more of them, and thank all of
you who came and joined me this evening for Korn's reading.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Remind them where they can find you.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
You can find me at on X, on Instagram, on Facebook,
on YouTube, Uh, it's I'm Chornymic, the letter I, the
letter M, and then my name Kornymic. On YouTube it's
Chornymic TV. And I'll see you all out there on
the interwebs.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
All right, folks, if you are so inclined, please hang
out for I believe it's in the crease tonight. It
could be wrong, it might be lost wonder. I haven't
checked the schedule, but it's our programming director, Jeff. Otherwise,
is the alien so yeah? Coming up next, hang out, folks,
and thanks for hanging out with us now.
