any /freemasons/ or Freemason experts?
what happens if I go to my local Lodge and climb the ranks? what is revealed at higher ranks?
What would you like to know?
if you don't have the blood, you'll stay low and never really climb

You'll probably be a better person? If you take the lessons to heart and actually want to learn, that is.
>what is revealed at higher ranks?
I'm guessing you mean degrees instead of ranks. And nothing more. Just different lessons for you to ponder and learn from.

There are only ranks to climb so long as there are people in the ranks to recognize you and pull you aside for some greater conspiracy. Everything has a top. Everything.

We had a similar thread a few days ago.
I'm a member of the Rosae Crucis, and I can say pretty confidentely that there's nothing paranormal going inside the institution.
But, the upper levels, which are very exclusive and never talked about, certainly hold it's secrets. What they are, I do not know, and probably never will even though I'm a member.
Only people that can offer a lot to the institution climb the ladder all the way to the top, and by "a lot" I mean Bill Gates level contribution so, here we are.
You can get a general idea from good books though, not the satanist conspiracy crap of course.

You mean AMORC?

More fucking work than you know what to do with.
Honest - climb the ranks and you get invited to go with the rest of the guys to other lodges, help out with degree work, help out with various charitable activities, so on and so forth. It can and will eat up as much free time as you can devote to it.
I have been the head of three different Masonic organizations (my local Blue Lodge, one of the York Rite bodies, and one of the Scottish Rite bodies), and learned no mystical secrets.
Waste of time? No, not at all. Just don't expect to learn the Secrets of the Universe.

No, he probably means Rose Croix, which is one of the constituent bodies of the Scottish Rite.

>and learned no mystical secrets.
That's kinda your own fault, brother.
>>17465407
Doubt it. Only ever seen AMORC use that term for it. Even in places where we often call the A&AR simple the Rose Croix, his word choice would be very rare.
Don't they worship jewstuff? As in Lucifer?
