Attainablemind: The Freemasons

The Freemasons

The Freemasons are everywhere (about 5 million members world wide) and yet most people know nothing about them. Why are the Freemasons such a secret?

Or are they a secret? They have websites like any other group out there, they talk about the history and what the association is all about. But if your not a Mason, pretty good chance you have no clue who or what they are. I heard that they spend millions on helping people every year by donating to Crippled Children Hospitals and burn Institutes built by the Shriners.

It's considered as the oldest fraternity in the world, just groups of men who enjoy each others company, there to make a difference in the community. Well if that's the case, then great! But I don't think that's the whole story.

Growing up in New England, there are more Masonic lodges then there are post offices or even churches for that matter. So many of them, but nothing really made public. Non of my family nor friends knew anything about them. Not to boast my own ego but I knew a lot of people growing up. I knew not one person that was a Mason. When I say there everywhere, I mean just that. Just take a any drive from small town to small town and you'll know what I'm talking about. Hundreds of lodges and nothing made public about them. Some people say their not a secret at all. But did you know that

George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Howard Taft,Warren Harding, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford were all masons. The list go's on and on. Mozart was a Freemason, his opera "The Magic Flute" makes reference to many Masonic symbols throughout.

Masonic symbolism is everywhere by the way, and a bit creepy at times.

I say creepy because they use a skull and bones and pentagrams here and there. Mason's do not discuss religion nor politics with one another to keep the outside influences out. No specific religion is tied into being a Freemason. When taking the ritual when first becoming a Mason, your actually told to let your friends and family know exactly what happened during that ritual and to try to remember the details and explain them as best you can. The two things that are secret and held sacred, are the passwords and handshakes.

Why keep anything a secret? What's the point if it's not a secret to begin with? I guess for me it just doesn't add up. I think the Freemason's like any other group or society have secret groups among themselves. I think what I have the biggest problem with is the fact they are such a huge group that's world wide and hundreds of years old (founded in 1717),
consisting of members such as Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, Joseph Warren, and John Hancock. Founders of our country!! Why is there no mention in the history books we grew up with in our pubic schools? Why? Maybe there is something to hide besides just passwords and handshakes. Look around where you live and you'll start to see the symbols all around you. This is just the top of the rabbit hole, and it's a very long way down.

About the Author

In 2000 I was living in Playa Hermosa Costa Rica as a surf tour guide and DJ. One weekend I was at a small coastal town called Monazuma in the Nicoya peninsula with some friends. We went out to the bars and had a fairly wild night. The place we were staying was in a little beach house about a thirty minute walk from the center of town. By the time the four of us got back, you could just start to see the light coming from the the morning horizon. We all sat on a log on the beach looking at the sky reminiscing about the night. That's when we saw a bright star slowly move across the sky. We all saw it and looked at each other in wonder. It was easily the brightest thing in the sky. It continued to move across the sky as we all sat and watched with our mouths wide open in awe in dead silence. All of a sudden it stopped, that's when we all kind of started to freak out, not for our safety because it was far away, but because it was at that moment we all realized this was something that could not be explained. I have never had bigger goose bumps in my life. It stop as we looked on, just then it started to get brighter and brighter and brighter and brighter and just as we all started to shout profanity's it was gone. Adrenalin was pumping through us all, "Dude what the f#%k was that?" We knew all of our lives in a way would be different after this experience. We knew what we saw was real because we all saw the same thing. We all for the first and only time had seen only what was talked about in science fiction, we all from this moment on, had been witnesses to a real UFO.

I've lived in Virgina, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, California, Hawaii, Costa Rica and currently reside in Utah. I have had extensive travels throughout the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and England.

I have always been able to get along with people from all walks of life from all around the world and this has led to me meeting some amazing people and hearing some unbelievable stories.

As we have come into this era of social interaction through the internet, information that was told through word of mouth now can become a story that's shared by the entire planet.

Because of the many things I have seen and heard, and how they have correlated to many stories I have found over the internet, it's this correlation that has led to the inspiration of Attainablemind.

By no means do I make any claims of being a professional writer. I'm sure your going to find some grammatical errors. If you find any, feel free to let me know and it's very appreciated. I also ask for you to realize that just because a story has a few grammatical errors, doesn't mean it isn't true. Try keep an open mind while you read through this site and know that the information is to give people a broader perspective of the world and life as we know it. Do your best to not let these errors get in the way of the messages that these stories bring. Errors come from my lack of writing experience, not the origin of the story.

I truly hope you enjoy what you find here and I hope for some of you, this has been a real wake-up call to what's really happening in the universe. After the discoveries I've made, I honestly can say I know the true meaning of my life, which is to help humanity by broadening their awareness of this planet through multimedia projects such as this website.

Earth can be a better place for everybody, but it's up to every single one of us to make that happen. Once you have made that decision for yourself, you will find that your world becomes the better place you have made it. It's all perspective. If your Royalty, your on top of the world. Compared to if your homeless and hungry in a 3rd world country (like millions of people) life doesn't get much harder. Then ask yourself, where do you fit into the grand scale of things? This is the first step to a better understanding of the world around you. The 2nd step is to stay away from conventional thinking and read the stories I have posted before you.

Enjoy the ride as you attain your Attainablemind.
