You are too kind.

Thank you so much Grand Chaplain!

Sounds great!

That’s great! I am a master mason lodge 617 in a small town in Alabama and i remember before my EA them messing with me asking me if I was ready to ride the goat 😂😂

Thank you for your support Brother....and don't be telling people about the Eagle!! ;)

Huh

Lied through his fucking teeth, unless he's intentionally kept in the dark as a shield. 23 spheres and 10 paths = 33 Everyone who's read anything about Kaballah knows that

@bnw4379 it's 22 spheres 10 paths not 23

Never too late brother. We’d love to have you.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Thank you, brother. It's looking like I may be going through at the end of the month. These videos inspired me and I hope to visit DC to see the beautiful temple there one day soon after joining.

They do when you reach the top that is the last oath Human sacrifice 70-80 percent of Freemason are completely deceived and delusional they lied to each other and to the world

Thanks for watching Brother!

That feeling is understandable, it's just you been human. If you really seek enlightenment you can achieve that and so much more by joining the Illuminatus. I know it sounds mythical, but there are ways to actually get in.

hi, is it even possible to join? i always thought it's meant for certain people in the upper class.

Freemasonry does not offer wealth or power. That’s just silliness. You can get more info at www.beafreemason.com

I am sure it will be great!

That's exciting!

​@ScottishRiteMasons Mr. Maynard, I did it!!! I got elected, I'm so excited! Your channel helped me and kept me motivated. Thank you so much!!

I’ll take a look.

@@ScottishRiteMasons awesome 🙏

@@ScottishRiteMasons lmk when/ if you check it out 🙏🙏

These things may be true. But they are not the reasons for the number 33 in Freemasonry. I think its purely happenstance. And in fact, there was a time when the Supreme Council wanted it to be 43 degrees.

Enjoy your journey!

Congratulations!

I’m not even close to the youngest 33rd° Mason

You are ridiculous.

Congrats on becoming a MM.

It’s not actually based around secrecy. It’s based around Brotherhood. Any good man of faith can join. The idea that it’s all some big secret is old, foolish and incorrect. Simply because you or someone else is not aware of what masons do, doesn’t make it a secret. It means you (or someone else) don’t know. Perhaps visit a local lodge. I am sure they’d be glad to answer your questions.

I am not a member of the Jesters, so I can't really speak to it. It exists in some areas, not in others. Some of those smaller groups come and go.

Cool job

Watch Robert breaker

When masons talk about secrets primarily that is indeed what they are talking about, secret handshakes, gestures and passwords. Mostly these serve as a tool for masons to test whether or not another person is in fact a Mason.

They lie through their teeth to the profane. Don't ever trust anything they say

You've been busy!

@@ScottishRiteMasons I was initiated on November 18th 2010 and raised on October 18th 2011 went through the York rite December of 2011 through February of 2012 and went into the Scottish rite in the summer of 2013 and 2012 was the year I was in the masters seat in chapter I was supposed to be the equivalent of the dr warden for chapter that year but the brother who was supposed to be the sitting master in chapter that year died from a heart attack so I stepped up to be sitting there to honor his memory not only for being a brother but he helped me so much in blue lodge I wanted to repay some of his help

In masonry? There’s a video here on our channel. Check it out.

Well, the first thing is that a 32nd degree must first be honored as a Knight Commander of the court of honor (KCCH as we say). In most Valleys (local chapter) all the other KCCH masons will make nominations. Those nominations are then forwarded to the head of the Valley or Orient and then the final determination is voted on by the Supreme Council. The process is similar for the 33rd degree, but the selection pool is of the KCCH masons. There is no documented criteria. But if a Mason ASKS for that honor, tradition hold that he is automatically deemed to be unworthy.

@@ScottishRiteMasons"the supreme council" is LONDON??

I will answer any polite question. But question that start out with presuppositions that masonry is inherently bad or some kind of cabal don’t come from a place of curiosity or interest. Ask and I’ll do my best to answer. But I answer in the spirit in which the question is asked.

Smh.

@legacyhairstudios4783 Yeah...because 32 wasn't enough and 34 was too many!

@@TheRealist2022 exactly!!

And isn’t recognized by many other Masonic orgs. Also when we say the “33rd and last degree” we are talking about Scottish Rite.

I am not schooled in that Rite, and they are not really recognized by most Masonic org.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Come to France and we'll show you 🙂

We have those degrees in the Grand College of Rites. But no one walks around claiming 99 degrees here.

@@ScottishRiteMasons The original Egyptian rite contained 99 degrees (or at least came to have 99 degrees at some point) but was adapted by Yarker into 33 degrees. This is the version that is most practiced today, including in France and is the version I know, though I have heard of some non-regular lodges that practice 99 degrees. Concerning the points in your video, I will also say that it usually takes a lifetime for many members to reach 33 degrees or even 32 degrees (or even 30 degrees!) Thirty years often aren't enough unless you're the hardest working, the brightest. Even reaching MM takes an average of 5 to 7 years depending on the lodge usually in France, and indeed how could one be a Master Mason in any sense after only a few weeks or months. Not to mention what is actually done in the lodge: what kind of work is expected. All this to say that there exist important differences between masonic practices here and there: you would guffaw at some of the things we do and vice versa.

@@SatnamSingh-op6ln I’ve been going through that as well for the past 2-3 years…

Seek out a local lodge

If you have his name and basic age and where he lived, maybe.

Right. Pretty sure I say that several times in the video. Thee degrees are not really "ranks" even though we call ita rank for shorthand. Each degree has a title, and the titles do not confer any authority, only denote that you have received that degree.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Plus it isn't right to be called a 33rd degree freemason rather a 33rd degree scottish rite mason. I wish you well Brother.

Technically, yes. But do we need to be so nuts about it? I mean, in the Grand scheme of things who cares which way it is. I mean if I wanted to go all crazy, I could lost all my titles in YR, KT etc. But I again think we can short hand it.

Wear your ring as you please, none of us can or should take it for more or less than what it is. Yes, we're equal. Just that you've earned some special accolades. So please, wear the ring. With honor.

@@larryspiller6633 Thanks for that perspective.

@jeffreyrubish347 Required? Surely, the purchase of Masonic jewellery should be a personal choice?

Only after 7pm.

Congrats on being a Master Mason! There is no higher honor really. And I know you will enjoy the Scottish Rite. The symbolism, history and teachings will be transformative IF you follow them truly. When you join the Rite, you will be made a 32nd (if you're in the USA). My suggestion is to not worry about becoming a 33rd. Find something in the fraternity to focus on~ degree work, community service...whatever. Take the lessons of Scottish Rite and put them to work in your life and your lodge. The work is its own reward and the accolades and honors will come in due time. ~M

Great explanations!

Check with the Grand Lodge or Prince Hall Grand Lodge in your state.

That is correct.

Each lodge conducts its own investigation of petitioners, and within the rules of their Grand Lodge, makes a determination on who they will accept based on that investigation. Your condition is not automatically disqualifying in most jurisdictions. It would be up to the lodge you petitioned to decide whether it would be a problem, after they make a determination of how often you "snap," and how those snaps manifest themselves.

Can you provide me a Grand Lodge in Pretoria South Africa?

What are you brother

@@EsotericDerick96 What degree? 3rd. :) But in the Scottish Rite, 32nd.

Valley of South Bend here.

Valley of Rochester (Minnesota)

Sublime master of the golden fleece

Thank you Brother Tony. A truly humbling honor.

Congratulations Master Mason 33 rd degree

I know the lessons of the degree. But they have nothing to do with WHY there are 33 degrees.

@@ScottishRiteMasons Suuurrree 🤫

We do not serve two Masters at all. As Masons we serve God. The fraternity is just a way that we team up to work for charity, to help each other and to be better friends. Masonry is not a religion. Have a nice day.

When MPH wrote that, he wasn't a Mason. And he was saying whatever he could to sell books. I have sincere doubts he was ever a legit mason. Those are his opinions, and hold no sway over anyone other than him.

Not that I know of.

I’m sure there are individual masons who work for or with those groups. Just like I am sure there are members of other fraternities who work for and with those organization. But as a whole? No. We do not. We are just a fraternity despite tinfoil hat theories to the contrary.

Thank you very much!

Well. That’s one guy. I’m sure we have a few bad apples like any group. But on the whole most masons are good men trying to do good things.
