The ignorant Freemason is a drone and an encumbrance in the Order.
He who does not study the nature, the design, the history and character of the Institution, but from the hour of his initiation neither gives nor receives any ideas that could not be shared by a profane, is of no more advantage to Freemasonry than Freemasonry is to him.
The true Freemason seeks light that darkness may be dispelled, and knowledge that ignorance may be removed.
The ignorant aspirant, no matter how loudly he may have asked for light, is still a blind grouper in the dark.

Hi, I’ve come across your page and it seems extremely interesting, although I haven’t read all articles I would like to make one correction of one of them. The title is “the holy Bible as one of the great lights in masonry”. The Bible alone isn’t one of the great lights. But saying it is is to say that Christianity is a great light in masonry which we know isn’t correct. The Bible,along with the Quran, Talmud, etc, is one of the VSL,volume of sacred law. The VSL is one of the great lights but it’s never singled out as just the Bible. All respect intended, the misconception the the Bible and not VSL is a great light is a touchy subject for me since I’m not a Christian and I hold Masonry close to my heart and deplore the idea that it’s a institution favoring one religion over another. We, as Masons, are all equal under the care of the GAOTU and have taken the obligation of protecting the integrity and truth of Freemasonry. SMIB.
