Subject: Re: Masonic Research Papers Available - and Needed

Dear Patrick:

Another problem is that different jurisdictions have different interests. Some are not, for example, interested in the actual _truth_; they are interested in the Christian, Hebrew, or Islamic truth and deny the rest. As a Buddhist, I reject all such notions.

I make no secret of my thinking on the Blue Lodge - it is somewhat Mithratic and dates to Hymn 59, Book 3, of the Rig-Veda. In my thinking, the "Blue Lodge" or sky lodge is about 3500 years old, is based on the mysteries of science and scholarship over superstition and myth.

As for 'research papers' (whatever that might mean), a great deal of _our_ research might be considered unbearable to the shoulders of some button-down, born again, wanna be religious (vs. spiritual), conservatives in our midst.

Some so-called research papers that I call beauty talks (skin deep) are at:

One More Time, Please (Short Talks): www.linshaw.com/omtp.html

and:

California Grand Orations: www.calmason.com/director.htm

our announcements for short talks are posted at: www.craftlodge.org/post.html

Our actual short-talks are NOT available for the general public, or posting on the web. Our initial short talk was: craftlodge.org/DMPS/short_talks/circ.htm;

and, another link for you: home.pacbell.net/hypnosis/index.htm

Cheers,

Charles

Via the internet, many Masonic Research Papers are now available.

The problem is that they are spread out across many different websites - without any cross-referencing to find out where they are.
