CB,
What's with this expedition into the world of the shriners and others of
their ilk?
There are, by the way, some interesting connections between the gnosticism
of the rosy-C and masons and the development of Hegel's ideas. (see G. A.
Magee's Hegel and the Hermetic tradition 2001).
Another connection may be found in the origins of free-masonry in the
social and vaguely political organization of skilled labourers in 18th
century Britain and Ireland.
Finally, there is probably a makeable relation between the adoption of
Gnostic mysticism with its ideas of private salvation through reason and the
development of political liberalism in 18th century Europe, but modern free
masonry and its various relations have long since become exclusive clubs for
members of the petit bourgeoisie and a model for college fraternity
ceremonials.

So Charles, what's up with all the postings
on the Free Masons? How is this related
to Marxism?
