Well put Brother.

I really like when you said you can build on it what you will. That has been my experience, I came in the lodge with a great interest and knowledge of the esotericism of the symbols and so on, but I soon found this was not quite the point of the lodge.

But my genuine love for the more esotericism has been appreciated within the lodge and I am allowed to delicately give small lessons and it has been appreciated amongst all brethren I’d say.

Just don’t think that’s the primary reason men love to gather at lodge and you’ll be fine.

I was suggest to esoterically minded individuals were thinking about joining the craft to contemplate what is more valuable. To me the value of the craft is men of various backgrounds getting together to meet on the level and expedite fraternal bonds that intern better the community by ways of charitable work rather than personal study.

We live in the information age so most knowledge is available to us on our own, but diverse men getting together in real life is not as common and that is the true value of the craft.
