. It all starts with one fundamental belief--that there is a supreme being.

It starts there, but most people think that this Supreme Being is something outside of us. The full journey of Freemasonry is to understand that we are a differentiated part of God.

Step One: I suspect it is not being told what to believe as far as a "supreme being", mere faith based on fear to question and nothing else, but a special experience or a lifetime of experiences where one gets there is a bigger consciousness than just each of us individually. God, Nature, Life, H2O, whatever. But there is a Purpose, a Goal, and a Plan, and a Higher Consciousness with a collective memory and Knowledge that we are a part of.

Steps Later: Outside, inside, past, future, all that becomes irrelevant as we learn how limited our minds can be. We are bubbles in a holographic multi-dimensional Universe. "...differentiated part of God." Everything that ever happened and will ever happen, anything within and without are all contained in every spec in the Universe. Eternity and Infinity are the True reality. As we define it we get lost in how we try to explain or understand.

"The world's a bubble, and the life of man Less than a span."

Being One with the Universe is not just inside and outside, it is letting go of space and time. Question though:

Is the experience of being an individual learning all this the end of the story? Are we supposed to work, study, be virtuous to achieve a certain place and then be done knowing we "got there?"

Whether Freemason, Rosicrucian, or any Religion, there is a Purpose to pursue that is not about one's own life. The Wedding is not the goal, it is a thing that has to happen on the way.

My thought?

Our roles are bigger than just saving life on Earth, we are part of a Universal plan.

Thank you both for tickling my brain. 🙂

On the matter of 33, much of the ancient cyclical meaning (if not all) can be attributed to the lunar cycle which gets out of phase with the solar cycle at the rate of 11 days per solar year. It takes 33 years for the Sun and moon to come back in phase.

I've actually wondered about the Lunar cycle and how it syncs up not realizing someone else already figured it out and it is 33 years. LOL

“God’s own likeness” implanted into man. 
 

Yes! The Church and organised religion want us to believe that we are subjects of some judgemental God up on a cloud because it keeps the masses in some kind of order and moral framework, fearing that if they displease this figure or don’t atone, then a fiery end awaits us.  The day a tipping point is reached of those who understand God is within and in everything, not some separate entity, the whole world changes and heaven is recognised as being on Earth.  
 

“Die (to this idea of a separate God) before you die and find there is no death” The soul is immortal.

You raise some very good points Rob. This inclusion of all time and all space too is why I’m convinced we’ll never have aliens, because aliens would have to be ‘out there’ and there is no out there, out there except as a construct of what we perceive as reality!

Synodic month=29.530588853 days. 12 of those are 354.367 days. I solar year is 365.242222 days. The ratio 365.2422222/354.367=1.0306889. The decimal part, 0.03068889, has to eventfully contribute 1 full cycle for the two to coincide again The reciprocal of 33 is 0.0303 (33x0.030303=1). There's a slight error of about 4 parts per ten thousand. New year would coincide with the new moon again if that was your starting reference point.

For tens of thousands of years (or hundreds of thousands) we have been looking at the sky and recognizing patterns. Elders shared with youngsters in whatever language they had. "Big hot ball sinks low, leaves will fall, sky water turns white and it is a cold hard day. Big hot ball rises up and back into the higher sky, food comes back, day is hot and good, except pesky biting bugs."

Then someone took notes. Made little scratches counting cycles on a cave wall, or on wood, not even knowing what counting means. Spoken language and writing might have still been totally primitive. But math and geometry was working its magic long before the concept of a book someone could read was possible. Don't need words to play with numbers. One can draw doodles and they work with math.

I suppose pyramids were a mathematical concept and record of many things before words or technology could deal with them. But then eventually pyramids were built around the world aligning to the stars and sky based upon thousands and thousands of years of just watching and making scratches on whatever. I suggest we were mathematicians long before we were writing language.

33 year cycles of Sun and Moon have been known for how long? Longer than Shakespeare has been around by some years...

Our alphabet, the basis of how we communicate may be a mathematical record of our past. Older then the letters themselves.

First there was Light, then Math, then Art, and Architecture, and then followed by Literature. And Bacon weaves it all together so well! 🙂
