Bombs Away!

Once again, I have been bombed by the mysterious new persona of "cain". Cain happens to be very anxious to "enlighten" me by sending 58 messages filled with thoughts from all across the board, on subjects such as Rosicrucian's and meditation techniques. Sorry cain, but your very long-winded posts of other's thoughts aren't a part of my study focus. I don't know when I'd need to understand the international politics, policies and procedures of the Grand Lodge of a foreign country. The focus right now is simply on comprehending the ritual, its meaning as applied to my own life experiences, and how I can personally use the teachings to improve my own mind.

Are these his own thoughts? No, in fact, I happen to have a friend of a friend who is the person he received these thoughts from several years ago. This friend has shared them with me, but told me they were breadcrumbs only, and that the study of the meaning behind the actual ritual was what I had to be concerned with first and foremost. So far, this person has been right on the money, and I've been thankful for their support and interest. The content of the multiple CD's was so wide-ranging and enormous that I know it will take several years to understand even a portion, but I'm grateful to have been given a complete set and I look forward to getting through it all.

Are these subjects a part of Freemasonry? Marginally, at least as far as I've been able to read. Thanks to more helpful people, I've received patient and competent help with what I've been studying when I'm able to. Intense focus on the subject areas taught by the ritual have been my main and only concern. I've also been keeping my own personal journal and log of books read, things learned, and where I've seen personal improvement, and believe me, that's been the most helpful tip, at least in my own case.

Original thoughts are hard sometimes to put into words and get down on paper or online. I realize that. Maybe the multiple personalities should focus their own abundant energies on taking that hint and creating their own personal original thoughts. Until then, I'm sorry, but I won't post any of the bombs you've sent my way. Post an original thought (not someone else's words) and I'll be glad to listen to you. Most of all, try very very hard not to use other people's real names. That's a low blow, unnecessary and not something I'd expect anyone given the lessons we've both had, to do.
