Αγαπητοί φίλοι,

Καλή χρονιά με υγεία, ευτυχία και αγάπη για εσάς και τις οικογένειες σας.

Το τελευταίο μήνυμα του φίλου Alet μπορεί να είναι όπως θα έλεγε κι ο ίδιος η προσωπική του άποψη αλλά τολμώ να πω ότι είναι μια άποψη που σέβεται τη λογική και μια άποψη που εκπορεύεται από γεγονότα/βιώματα και δεν έχει να κάνει με θεωρείες. Αυτός είναι ο τρόπος λειτουργίας του Τεκτονισμού και κάθε Τέκτονας μπορεί να σας το πιστοποιήσει. Δυστυχώς, προσεγγίζετε τον Τεκτονισμό μόνο μέσω του Αντιτεκτονισμού. Πόσα θα μπορούσε κανείς να μάθει από πηγές που είναι εξ αρχής πολωμένες εναντίον του Τεκτονισμού;

Αγαπητέ Wizen,

Πραγματικά θα μ'ενδιέφερε να μου παρουσιάσεις ή αναφορικά ή αποσπασματικά αυτήν την άλλη γνώμη του Πάικ. Και θα σε παρακαλούσα να προέρχεται από πραγματικό κείμενο του και όχι από κάποια σελίδα του διαδικτύου από αυτές τις χιλιάδες που από την μία τον σχετίζουν με τον Αντίχριστο και από την άλλη τον θεωρούν συγγενή ή και τον ίδιο τον Χίτλερ. Όχι βέβαια ότι θ'αλλάξει κάτι, διότι και πάλι προσωπική γνώμη θα είναι, αλλά θα έχει ενδιαφέρον διότι απ'όσα βιβλία και εργασίες του που έχω διαβάσει δεν έχω αντιληφθεί κάτι τέτοιο.

Αναγκαζόμαστε να επαναλαμβάνουμε τα ίδια και τα ίδια. Ο Τεκτονισμός είναι οι τρεις συμβολικοί βαθμοί και το συγκεκριμένο είναι αποδεκτό όχι από μεμονωμένους Τέκτονες αλλά απ'όλες τις κανονικές Τεκτονικές Οργανώσεις παγκοσμίως. Όλοι οι υπόλοιποι βαθμοί είναι επιγενόμενοι, ή φιλοσοφικοί, ή επεξηγηματικοί και είναι κυρίως μια βαθύτερη ανάλυση πάνω στους τρεις βαθμούς. Η μεγάλη διαφορά βρίσκεται στο γεγονός ότι οι τρεις συμβολικοί βαθμοί δεν έχουν καμία ανάλυση. Ο ίδιος ο Τέκτονας οφείλει να αντιληφθεί τις αναλογίες μεταξύ των συμβόλων της Στοάς και των αντιστοιχιών τους στον κόσμο, χωρίς κανέναν περιορισμό. Στους επιγενόμενους βαθμούς υπάρχει μεγαλύτερη ακρίβεια σε όσα διαδραματίζονται από την άποψη της συλλογικής κατανόησης αλλά ταυτοχρόνως μεγαλύτερος περιορισμός ή εξιδείκευση και αν θέλεις αυτός είναι ένας ακόμα λόγος που υποδεικνύει την σημαντικότητα των τριών συμβολικών βαθμών. Δεν θα μπορούσαμε σε καμία περίπτωση να πούμε ότι ένα υποσύνολο είναι κατά οιονδήποτε τρόπο ανώτερο του συνόλου.

Το σύνολο του Τεκτονισμου διαδραματίζεται στους τρεις βαθμούς και η κορυφή ή το τελευταίο όριο του παρουσιάζεται στον βαθμό του Διδασκάλου όπου ο μυημένος περνάει συμβολικά, από τον θάνατο στην αθανασία και μαθαίνει να μετατρέπει το συμβολικό ή το εσωτερικό σε πρακτικό και καθημερινό. Μαθαίνει να σωπαίνει και να πράττει, ή κυριαρχεί μέσω της υψηλής συνείδησης, ή της κατακτηθείσας σοφίας του δευτέρου βαθμού στον εαυτό του.

Φιλικά,

Albert Pike's Background
Jump to Albert Pike & Three World Wars.
Very few outsiders know about the intimate plans of Albert Pike and the architects of the New
World Order. In the 19th Century Albert Pike established a framework for bringing about the One
World Order. Based on a vision revealed to him, Albert Pike wrote a blueprint of events that would
play themselves out in the 20th century, with even more of these events yet to come. It is this
blueprint which we believe unseen leaders are following today, knowingly or not, to engineer the
planned Third and Final World War.
About Albert Pike
Albert Pike was born on December 29, 1809, in Boston, and was the oldest of six children born to
Benjamin and Sarah Andrews Pike. He studied at Harvard, and later served as a Brigadier-General
in the Confederate Army. After the Civil War, Pike was found guilty of treason and jailed, only to be
pardoned by fellow Freemason President Andrew Johnson on April 22, 1866, who met with him the
next day at the White House. On June 20, 1867, Scottish Rite officials conferred upon Johnson the
4th to 32nd Freemasonry degrees, and he later went to Boston to dedicate a Masonic Temple.
Pike was said to be a genius, able to read and write in 16 different languages, although I cannot find
a record anywhere of what those languages were. In addition, he is widely accused of plagiarism, so
take with a pinch of salt. At various stages of his life we was a poet, philosopher, frontiersman,
soldier, humanitarian and philanthropist. A 33rd degree Mason, he was one of the founding fathers,
and head of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, being the Grand Commander of
North American Freemasonry from 1859 and retained that position until his death in 1891. In 1869,
he was a top leader in the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Pike was said to be a Satanist, who indulged in the occult, and he apparently possessed a bracelet
which he used to summon Lucifer, with whom he had constant communication. He was the Grand
Master of a Luciferian group known as the Order of the Palladium (or Sovereign Council of
Wisdom), which had been founded in Paris in 1737. Palladism had been brought to Greece from
Egypt by Pythagoras in the fifth century, and it was this cult of Satan that was introduced to the
inner circle of the Masonic lodges. It was aligned with the Palladium of the Templars. In 1801, Issac
Long, a Jew, brought a statue of Baphomet (Satan) to Charleston, South Carolina, where he helped
to establish the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. Long apparently chose Charleston because it
was geographically located on the 33rd parallel of latitude (incidentally, so is Baghdad), and this
council is considered to be the Mother Supreme Council of all Masonic Lodges of the World.
Pike was Long's successor, and he changed the name of the Order to the New and Reformed
Palladian Rite (or Reformed Palladium). The Order contained two degrees:
· Adelph (or Brother), and
· Companion of Ulysses (or Companion of Penelope).
Pike's right-hand man was Phileas Walder, from Switzerland, who was a former Lutheran minister,
a Masonic leader, occultist, and spiritualist. Pike also worked closely with Giusseppe Mazzini of
Italy (1805-1872) who was a 33rd degree Mason, who became head of the Illuminati in 1834, and
who founded the Mafia in 1860. Together with Mazzini, Lord Henry Palmerston of England (1784-
1865, 33rd degree Mason), and Otto von Bismarck from Germany (1815-1898, 33rd degree
Mason), Albert Pike intended to use the Palladian Rite to create a Satanic umbrella group that
would tie all Masonic groups together.
Albert Pike died on April 2, 1891, and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, although the corpse of
Pike currently lies in the headquarters of the Council of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry in Washington, D.C. (see The Deadly Deception, by Jim Shaw - former 33rd degree
Mason and Past Master of all Scottish Rite bodies.)
The Albert Pike Monument
Albert Pike made his mark before the war in Arkansas as a lawyer and writer, but as a Confederate
Brigadier General, he was, according to the Arkansas Democrat of July 31, 1978, a complete
"WASH-OUT," not a hero. Yet, Gen. Albert Pike is the only Confederate general with a statue on
federal property in Washington, DC. He was honoured, not as a commander or even as a lawyer, but
as Southern regional leader of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The statue stands on a pedestal near
the foot of Capitol Hill, between the Department of Labor building and the Municipal Building,
between 3rd and 4th Streets, on D Street, NW. More detail about the monument, including a photo
and map can be found here. Further background on the colorful history of the statue can be found at
the Masonic Info website. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Lyndon H. LaRouche and his
vice presidential running mate, the Reverend James Bevel, launched a mobilization to remove the
statue of General Albert Pike from Washington, D.C.'s Judiciary Square. On February 1, the
campaign drew an angry attack from freemasonic leader C. Fred Kleinknecht, who attempted to
defend both Pike and the Ku Klux Klan from LaRouche and Bevel's attack. A speech given by
LaRouche defending his actions can be found here (March 20, 1992). And a speech by Anton
Chaitkin entitled 'Why Albert Pike's Statue Must Fall' can be found here (September 21, 1992).
The Illuminati and Albert Pike
Adam Weishaupt (1748 - 1811) formed the Order of Perfectibilists on May 1, 1776 (to this day
celebrated as May Day throughout many western countries), which later became known as the
Illuminati, a secret society whose name means "Enlightened Ones". Although the Order was
founded to provide an opportunity for the free exchange of ideas, Weishaupt's background as a
Jesuit seems to have influenced the actual character of the society, such that the express aim of this
Order became to abolish Christianity, and overturn all civil government.
An Italian revolutionary leader, Giusseppe Mazzini (1805-1872), a 33rd degree Mason, was
selected by the Illuminati to head their worldwide operations in 1834. (Mazzini also founded the
Mafia in 1860). Because of Mazzini's revolutionary activities in Europe, the Bavarian government
cracked down on the Illuminati and other secret societies for allegedly plotting a massive overthrow
of Europe's monarchies. As the secrets of the Illuminati were revealed, they were persecuted and
eventually disbanded, only to re-establish themselves in the depths of other organizations, of which
Freemasonry was one.
During his leadership, Mazzini enticed Albert Pike into the (now formally disbanded, but still
operating) Illuminati. Pike was fascinated by the idea of a one world government, and when asked
by Mazzini, readily agreed to write a ritual tome that guided the transition from average highranking
mason into a top-ranking Illuminati mason (33rd degree). Since Mazzini also wanted Pike
to head the Illuminati's American chapter, he clearly felt Pike was worthy of such a task. Mazzini's
intention was that once a mason had made his way up the Freemason ladder and proven himself
worthy, the highest ranking members would offer membership to the secret 'society within a
society'.
It is for this reason that most Freemasons vehemently deny the evil intentions of their fraternity.
Since the vast majority never reach the 30th degree, they would not be aware of the real purpose
behind Masonry. When instructing Pike how the tome should be developed, Mazzini wrote the
following to Pike in a letter dated January 22, 1870. Remember that Freemasonry wasn't started by
Pike - rather it was infiltrated by the Illuminati who were looking for a respectable forum in which
to hide their clandestine activities:
"We must allow all the federations to continue just as they are, with their systems, their
central authorities and their diverse modes of correspondence between high grades of the
same rite, organized as they are at the present, but we must create a super rite, which will
remain unknown, to which we will call those Masons of high degree whom we shall select.

With regard to our brothers in Masonry, these men must be pledges to the strictest secrecy.
Through this supreme rite, we will govern all Freemasonry which will become the one
international center, the more powerful because its direction will be unknown." 1
In 1871, Pike published the 861 page Masonic handbook known as the Morals and Dogma of the
Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
After Mazzini's death on March 11, 1872, Pike appointed Adriano Lemmi (1822-1896, 33rd degree
Mason), a banker from Florence, Italy, to run their subversive activities in Europe. Lemmi was a
supporter of patriot and revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, and may have been active in the
Luciferian Society founded by Pike. Lemmi, in turn, was succeeded by Lenin and Trotsky, then by
Stalin. The revolutionary activities of all these men were financed by British, French, German, and
American international bankers; all of them dominated by the House of Rothschild.

Between 1859 and 1871, Pike worked out a military blueprint for three world wars and various
revolutions throughout the world which he considered would forward the conspiracy to its final
stage in the 20th Century.
In addition to the Supreme Council in Charleston, South Carolina, Pike established Supreme
Councils in Rome, Italy (led by Mazzini); London, England (led by Palmerston); and Berlin,
Germany (led by Bismarck). He set up 23 subordinate councils in strategic places throughout the
world, including five Grand Central Directories in Washington, DC (North America), Montevideo
(South America), Naples (Europe), Calcutta (Asia), and Mauritius (Africa), which were used to
gather information. All of these branches have been the secret headquarters for the Illuminati's
activities ever since.
Albert Pike and Three World Wars
Continued from Part 1.
Albert Pike received a vision, which he described in a letter that he wrote to Mazzini, dated August
15, 1871. This letter graphically outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to
bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events that
have already taken place.
Pike's Letter to Mazzini
It is a commonly believed fallacy that for a short time, the Pike letter to Mazzini was on display in
the British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by William Guy Carr, former Intelligence
Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy. The British Library has confirmed in writing to me that such a
document has never been in their possession. Furthermore, in Carr's book, Satan, Prince of this
World, Carr includes the following footnote:
"The Keeper of Manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter is NOT
catalogued in the British Museum Library. It seems strange that a man of Cardinal
Rodriguez's knowledge should have said that it WAS in 1925".
It appears that Carr learned about this letter from Cardinal Caro y Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile,
who wrote The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled.
To date, no conclusive proof exists to show that this letter was ever written. Nevertheless, the letter
is widely quoted and the topic of much discussion.
Following are apparently extracts of the letter, showing how Three World Wars have been planned
for many generations.
"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to
overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of
atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the
Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war.
At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other
governments and in order to weaken the religions." 2
Students of history will recognize that the political alliances of England on one side and Germany
on the other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto von Bismarck, co-conspirator of Albert Pike,
were instrumental in bringing about the First World War.
"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences
between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that
Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a
sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International
Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which
would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the
final social cataclysm." 3
After this Second World War, Communism was made strong enough to begin taking over weaker
governments. In 1945, at the Potsdam Conference between Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large
portion of Europe was simply handed over to Russia, and on the other side of the world, the
aftermath of the war with Japan helped to sweep the tide of Communism into China.
(Readers who argue that the terms Nazism and Zionism were not known in 1871 should remember
that the Illuminati invented both these movements. In addition, Communism as an ideology, and as
a coined phrase, originates in France during the Revolution. In 1785, Restif coined the phrase four
years before revolution broke out. Restif and Babeuf, in turn, were influenced by Rousseau - as was
the most famous conspirator of them all, Adam Weishaupt.)
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences
caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders
of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem
Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to
fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We
shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social
cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute
atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the
citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries,
will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with
Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or
direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will
receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer,
brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general
reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism,
both conquered and exterminated at the same time." 4
Since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, world events, and in particular in the Middle East, show
a growing unrest and instability between Modern Zionism and the Arabic World. This is completely
in line with the call for a Third World War to be fought between the two, and their allies on both
sides. This Third World War is still to come, and recent events show us that it is not far off.
Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry
Albert Pike and 'Morals and Dogma'
While a prolific writer, Albert Pike is best known for his major work Morals and Dogma of the
Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry. Published in 1871 (no ISBN), this massive volume
consists of 861 pages and 32 Chapters, covering each of the 32 Degrees of Freemasonry. While
many consider it to be a Mason's guide for daily living, the truth is that not many Masons have even
read the book, on account of it being somewhat difficult to understand.
More than 75% of the book consists of historical records of ancient civilisations (inc. Egypt,
Greece, China, India, Persia) and their superstitions and religious observances. At first reading Pike
creates the impression of being well-read and extremely knowledgeable on his topic, until you take
the time to read the preface. It accuses Pike of plagiarism throughout, stating that “he has extracted
quite half its contents from the works of the best writers and most philosophic or eloquent
thinkers”. Is Pike really the genius we've been led to believe?
Freemasonry Described by Albert Pike
In Morals and Dogma, Pike wrote:
"Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals
its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false
explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to
be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away
from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert
it....

The truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their
imperfect reason…
every man's conception of God must be proportioned to his mental cultivation and
intellectual powers, and moral excellence. God is, as man conceives Him, the reflected
image of man himself..." 1
The next statement reduces the Masonic philosophy to a single premise. Pike writes:
"The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a
black god but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of Atheism or
Idolatry.
Lucifer, the Light Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of
Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light and with its
splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls?
Doubt it not!" 2
Albert Pike explained in Morals & Dogma how the true nature of Freemasonry is kept a secret from
Masons of lower degrees:
"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols
are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations.
It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine
he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of
Masonry. The whole body of the Royal and Sacerdotal Art was hidden so carefully,
centuries since, in the High Degrees, as that it is even yet impossible to solve many of
the enigmas which they contain. It is well enough for the mass of those called Masons,
to imagine that all is contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive
them will labor in vain, and without any true reward violate his obligations as an Adept.
Masonry is the veritable Sphinx, buried to the head in the sands heaped round it by the
ages. " 3
A reader has written to say the following, regarding the secrecy of higher Freemasonry levels:
"When in grade school we are taught that the three smallest particles of matter were the
proton, neutron and electron. Today, we know there are a multitude of yet even smaller
particles that make up those first particles. Could we in the 5th grade have understood
the quarks, leptons, and other smaller particles without understanding the proton,
neutron and electron first? I sincerely doubt it.
Masonry is the same way. The first three degrees are referred to as Symbolic Masonry.
Degrees four through 32 are part of what is referred to as Philosophical Masonry. The
degrees that follow, from the 34th and up are referred to as the Esoteric Degrees.
Again, notice how things are taught in steps."
While I absolutely agree that it is right for information to be gradually fed to an ever enquiring
mind, I do not agree that it makes sense to "use false explanations and misinterpretations of its
symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled", which is what Morals and Dogma
explains.
Where Can I Obtain a Copy of Morals and Dogma?
Many Freemasons write asking where Morals and Dogma can be found, proving once again that the
majority of Masons are unaware of this book, and proving that Morals and Dogma is not the 'daily
guide to living' as claimed on so many anti-Mason sites.
Morals and Dogma was traditionally given to the candidate upon his receipt of the 14th degree of
the Scottish Rite. This practice was stopped in 1974. Morals and Dogma has not been given to
candidates since 1974. A Bridge to Light, by Rex R. Hutchens, is instead provided to candidates
today. Hutchens laments that Morals and Dogma is read by so few Masons. A Bridge to Light was
written to be "a bridge between the ceremonies of the degrees and their lectures in Morals and
Dogma".
Morals and Dogma can be purchased new on amazon.com for about $130 (expect a 10 - 14 week
delay as the book is considered rare and is therefore a special order). However many used copies
are also available on amazon.com or ebay.com.
Be aware that there are two distinct different versions of the book: The original manuscript
published in 1871 with subsequent reprint (hard to find) and a reprint from circa 2000 (Volume
one ISBN# 0766126153 Volume two ISBN# 0766126161). There is evidence to suggest that
some wording has been changed in the more recent reprint, so all serious researchers should look
for a 'library binding' published prior to 1950.
An online version of Morals and Dogma can be found at the Pietre-Stones Review of
Freemasonry site, and is highly recommended if you wish to confirm the accuracy of quotes used
on the ThreeWorldWars site.

This sensational new analysis of the Masonic brotherhood examines the basic question asked for

Freemasonry is simply a fraternal and charitable organisation, why is there an almost fanatical
obsession with secrecy and mysterious rituals?’ E-book.

Άλλο η προσωπική γνώμη και προβληματισμός που εκφράζεται ελεύθερα και άλλο η αναφορά στο θέμα από επαίοντα όπου ενυπάρχει και πλήρης όσο και άμεση ευθύνη των λεγομένων. Δεν είναι έτσι;

Καταρχάς καλή χρονιά σε όλους με υγεία. Αγαπητέ alet σίγουρα μπορείς να χαρακτηρίσεις ορισμένες απόψεις μου αφθαίρετες από τη στιγμή που είναι γεγονός πως δεν μπορώ να φέρω ατράνταχτες αποδείξεις για αυτά που ισχυρίζομαι, χαίρομαι όμως που με αντικρούεις γιατί έτσι μπορώ κι εγώ να μάθω για κάτι που δεν μπορώ να γνωρίζω επακριβώς . Θέλω να σε ρωτήσω κάτι, ποιό ρόλο έχει η αναγνώριση των μελών της τεκτονικής στοάς, δηλαδή γιατί πρέπει τα μέλη της στοάς να αναγνωρίζονται μεταξύ τους μυστικά, ή κρυφά ή συνθηματικά? Έπειτα να ρωτήσω κάτι άλλο η οργάνωση Skull and Bones είναι τεκτονική ή όχι δεν το ξέρω, αν είναι , είναι τυχαίο που πάρα πολλοί πρόεδροι της Αμερικής ήταν μέλη αυτής της οργάνωσης με τελευταίο τον τωρινό? Αυτό το΄λέω για την εκπλήρωση των φιλοδοξιών κάθε ανθρώπου. Δεν λέω ότι θα γίνουν όλοι πρωθυπουργοί πρόεδροι ή κάτι παρεμφερές, όμως βλέπουν ότι υπάρχει αποτέλεσμα. Δηλαδή να στο πώ αλλιώς αυτό που έγραψα περι εκπλήρωσης φιλοδοξιών εσύ δεν το έχεις ξανακούσει ποτέ? Μπορεί να είναι λάθος αλλά αυτό κάποιος που δεν το γνωρίζει θα το μάθει μόνο αν γίνει τέκτονας, εγώ ανέφερα ένα από τα πιθανά αρχικά κίνητρα κάποιου να γίνει τέκτονας. Επίσης για την Greenpeace που ανέφερες συγκεκριμένα, νομίζω πως τελικά οι σκοποί της δεν είναι και τόσο αγνοί άσχετα με τον τεκτονισμό κι αυτή είναι μια κουβέντα πολύ μεγάλη από μόνη της, όπως και για την δράση κι άλλων μεγάλων οργανώσεων που έχουν στόχο το κοινό καλό.

Είμαι πολύ νέο μέλος και θεωρώ πάρα πολύ ενδιαφέροντα όσα γράφετε, ειδικά για το θέμα του Τεκτονισμού, ένα ολόκληρο βιβλίο θα έλεγα είναι όλα όσα έχουν γραφτεί, που λόγω έλλειψης χρόνου, αρκέστηκα προς το παρόν να διαβάσω πολύ λίγα πράγματα μόνο αλλά επιφυλάσσομαι. Σχετικά με τον Τεκτονισμό, η άποψη που έχω είναι με λίγα λόγια ότι στην Ελλάδα κυρίως ακολουθούμε την γνωστή τάση να τα βλέπουμε όλα μαύρο-άσπρο. Φυσικά είμαι ενήμερος για τα αίσχη και τις μαφιόζικες τακτικές που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν από την ιταλική Στοά P2, κι αλλού, αλλά εξακολουθώ να πιστεύω ότι όταν μιλάμε για Τεκτονισμό, πρέπει να κάνουμε διαφοροποιήσεις Στοάς από Στοάς, και διαφοροποίηση ύστερα μεταξύ οργανισμών, λεσχών κλπ. Θα ήταν πολύ ενδιαφέρον για τα μέλη να έχουν μια συνολική γνώση γύρω απ'αυτά, δεν ξέρω αν κάπου έχετε γράψει για διαφοροποιήσεις αλλά επιμένω τα πράγματα δεν είναι μαύρο-άσπρο. Επίσης επειδή κάπου έγινε αν δεν απατώμαι συσχετισμός Θεοσοφίας με Τεκτονισμό, θα πρέπει και σ'αυτό το σημείο να γίνουν κάποιες διευκρινήσεις. Η Θεοσοφία δεν είναι το ίδιο πράγμα, και τελικά και για Τεκτονισμό θα ενδιέφερε τον κόσμο για ποιές Στοές ακριβώς μιλάμε θα είχε περισσότερη σημασία πριν κρίνουμε οτιδήποτε άλλο. Η εμπλοκή του Τεκτονισμού στην πολιτική δεν νομίζω να αμφισβητείται από κανέναν, αλλά και πάλι τίθεται το ερώτημα σε ποιές συνθήκες και με ποιούς στόχους γίνεται η ανάμιξη αυτή, και αν γίνεται από όλες τις Στοές προς την ίδια κατεύθυνση. Ακραίες θέσεις δεν αποδέχομαι ποτέ, όπως για όλα φταίνε οι Τέκτονες, για όλα φταίει ο Χριστιανισμός ή για όλα φταίνε οι Εβραίοι ή οι κομμουνιστές.

Αγαπητέ Μίμη,

Πολύ βιαστικά αναφέρω ότι για την ελευθερία που παρέχει ο Τεκτονισμός ανά περιόδους έχει πληρώσει και το ανάλογο τίμημα. Την ελευθερία και σε ατομικό επίπεδο, μιας και δεν παρέχει διδασκαλίες αλλά και σε επίπεδο οργάνωσης, όταν η κάθε Στοά φυσικά τηρώντας τους κανόνες, λειτουργεί σχεδόν αυτοδύναμα και η προσέγγιση της στον Τεκτονισμό είναι πιθανόν να απέχει από αυτή μιας άλλης. Αυτός ακριβώς είναι και ο βασικότερος λόγος όπου εμφανίστηκαν καταστάσεις όπως αυτή της Στοάς Ρ2. Το λάθος όμως που παρατηρώ σε όλες τις συζητήσεις που συμβαίνουν στο διαδίκτυο και συνήθως το πράττουν όσοι δεν έχουν σχέση με τον Τεκτονισμό είναι ότι δεν αντιλαμβάνονται ότι τέτοια περιστατικά δεν σχετίζονται με τον Τεκτονισμό αλλά με κάποιους Τέκτονες που έκαναν χρήση της Στοάς ή της ιδιότητας τους για να πραγματοποιήσουν προσωπικές φιλοδοξίες.

Ο Τεκτονισμός μπορεί να προοδεύει σαν παγκόσμιος οργανισμός όσο τα μέλη του τον κατανοούν βαθύτερα και τον κάνουν καθημερινά πράξη στην ζωή τους αλλά κατ' ουσίαν ούτε μεταβάλλεται, ούτε φθείρεται. Είναι ένα πολύ αρχαίο σύστημα, ή μάλλον εκφράζει αρχαίες έννοιες και έτσι παραμένει ανά τους αιώνες. Ο τρόπος που κάποιοι χρησιμοποίησαν στο παρελθόν την φυσική του εκδοχή, δηλαδή τις επιμέρους οργανώσεις, δεν βλάπτει τον Τεκτονισμό αλλά τους ίδιους και την κοινωνία. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση όμως σφάλουμε να κατηγορούμε τον Τεκτονισμό, όπως σφάλουμε όταν κάνουμε το ανάλογο κατηγορώντας μια ιδεολογία ή μια θρησκεία όταν θα έπρεπε να επικεντρωνόμαστε σε όσους επικαλούνται ότι την εκφράζουν. Δεν υπάρχει κάτι στον φυσικό κόσμο όπου κατ'ουσίαν να είναι καλό ή κακό. Ο τρόπος που το διαχειριζόμαστε του αποδίδει χαρακτήρα.

Αγαπητέ Τάκη,

Μακάρι να εκφράζουμε πάντοτε τις προσωπικές μας απόψεις. Επιφανειακά, δεν αναφέρθηκε ουδέποτε ότι κάνουμε το αντίθετο. Προτιμώ να το θεωρώ προφανές και να μην το επισημαίνω σε κάθε μήνυμα.
