Were the Freemasons keepers of ancient spiritual wisdom—or part of a global system of control? In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being, Keith reflects on the mysterious history, esoteric symbols, and spiritual significance of Freemasonry—through the deeply personal lens of his own father, a 32° Freemason in the Scottish Rite.You'll learn the true meaning behind powerful Masonic symbols like the Square and Compass, the All-Seeing Eye, the Pillars of Boaz and Jachin, and the Rough and Perfect Ashlars. We'll explore what these teachings can offer your spiritual path, and why mystery, discipline, and personal transformation still matter in a world addicted to quick answers and instant gratification.This isn't a conspiracy rant. This is a call inward.

In this concluding episode of their five-part series, David and Gene explore the final 22 sayings of the Gospel of Thomas (93-114), revealing the text's most profound mysteries about spiritual transformation and divine realization.These culminating teachings address the protection of sacred wisdom ("pearls before swine"), the gradual process of inner transformation symbolized by yeast working through dough and hidden treasure requiring patient excavation, all of which support the ultimate goal of uniting the dual aspects of consciousness in the alchemical "Sacred Marriage."The hosts delve into Jesus's radical redefinition of kinship in spiritual rather than biological terms, the three Gnostic worlds of Spirit, Soul, and Matter that require different navigational approaches, and the esoteric meaning behind traditional spiritual practices like prayer and fasting. They examine the provocative final saying about Mary Magdalene needing to become "male," as representing the need for integration of analytical and intuitive faculties into divine wholeness - and how the saying speaks to the tension between orthodox (Peter) and esoteric (Mary) interpretations of spiritual truth.Other concepts discussed include:the door of consciousness that opens from within through persistent spiritual "knocking,"the distinction between those who seek firsthand Gnosis versus blind obedience (the "black sheep" who wanders away from the flock),and the intimate spiritual communion described as "drinking from Jesus's mouth."The episode culminates with the hosts' realization that the Gospel of Thomas presents the most revolutionary concept in Gnostic literature: that achieving Gnosis is itself the divine pattern - a fractal process where God comes to know Himself through human self-discovery, making each individual's spiritual journey a unique cosmic contribution requiring active practice rather than passive study.Deep Dive:The Gospel of ThomasChapters:01:15 Introduction01:52 Sayings 93-9507:19 Sayings 96-9812:41 Sayings 99-10117:28 Sayings 102-10421:05 Sayings 105-10726:26 Sayings 108-11030:25 Sayings 111-11441:55 ConclusionsResources:The Gospel of Thomas (history and various translations - Gnosis.org)Gospel of Thomas (Patterson and Robinson translation)Gnosis.org - The Gnosis ArchiveThe Nag Hammadi ScripturesCreative Evolution by Henri BergsonThe Exegesis of Philip K.

The Curmudgeon Supreme and I read David Stevenson's article "James Anderson: Man & Mason" about James Anderson, one of the masons who helped assemble the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723.This article was first published in the Heredom Volume 10, 2002, a research journal put out by the Scottish Rite. For many years, Doctor James Anderson has been accused of many negative reasons for helping to put together what we now know as the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723 & 1738.There is a lot that was going on during that time in and around England. England, Scotland, and Ireland were all fighting against each other, so why did these London Masons choose a short, red-headed Scotsman to help put together one of the most important Masonic documents ever published?The origins of this mysterious Masonic document have been actively researched and analyzed, critiqued, and ignored since it first appeared in 1723, and we still do not fully understand why it was produced in the first place.Brother David Stevenson is the author of both "The Origins of Freemasonry, Scotland's Century 1590-1710" and "The First Freemasons - Scotland's Early Lodges and Their Members 1988.Let us keep exploring the mysterious origins of Masonry and Freemasonry with ruthless abandon.Follow me on:Instagram @masonicmuscleTikTok @masonicmsucle357Write me at masonicmsucle357@gmail.com if you have questions or suggestions for research on the enigmatic and mysterious origins of freemasonry.

In this episode, David and Gene continue their exploration of the Gospel of Thomas, examining sayings 70-92. These sayings focus on navigating the duality between spiritual and material worlds and the constant choices we must make between them.The esoteric meaning behind the sayings of Jesus in the Gospel are discussed, starting with the call to activate the latent "divine spark" within us - a spiritual conception or “virgin birth” (Saying 70). They interpret Jesus' saying about the destruction of the "house" (Saying 71) as referring to a personal apocalypse of Gnosis, an irreversible transformation of one's worldview. Jesus's refusal to be a "divider" of possessions (Saying 72) highlights the spiritual realm's inherent unity and the need to integrate the divided aspects of the self.Further discussion touches on the rarity of those undertaking the spiritual harvest (Saying 73) and the tendency to seek fulfillment externally in "empty wells" instead of looking within (Saying 74). The "solitary ones" who are allowed entry to the "wedding hall" (Saying 75) are presented as those who have achieved inner wholeness, akin to the "Chemical Wedding" in alchemy.David and Gene explore Jesus speaking as the omnipresent Logos ("I am the All," Saying 77), touching upon pan-psychism and the need to look beyond the surface of reality. They contrast seeking external validation (Saying 78, 91) with the necessity of internal realization and trusting inner authority.The hosts delve into the hidden nature of consciousness (Saying 83) and the profound challenge of confronting our divine archetypal "likeness" - “our original face before we were born.” (Saying 84). They discuss how the divine pattern must be tried through the fire of earthly life (Saying 85), and how the "Son of Man" finding "no place to rest" (Saying 86) as symbolic of humanity's hybrid nature, caught between two worlds.The episode concludes by examining the spiral nature of spiritual seeking, where readiness dictates understanding (Saying 92), and how reflecting on, and engaging with these profound sayings is itself a transformative process.Deep Dive:The Gospel of ThomasChapters:01:15 Introduction01:41 Review03:10 Sayings 70-7207:25 Sayings 73-7512:18 Sayings 76-7816:39 Sayings 79-8118:54 Sayings 82-8423:50 Sayings 85-8728:23 Sayings 88-9031:34 Sayings 91-9234:34 ConclusionsResources:The Gospel of Thomas (history and various translations - Gnosis.org)Gospel of Thomas (Patterson and Robinson translation)Gnosis.org - The Gnosis ArchiveThe Nag Hammadi ScripturesJesus and the Lost Goddess: The Secret Teachings of the Original Christians by Freke and GandyYou're Not the Observer—You're the Observed (YouTube)Lateralus - Tool (Spotify)

In this episode, David and Gene continue their discussion of the Gospel of Thomas, exploring sayings 47-69 of this profound and mysterious Gnostic text. The sayings it contains offer timeless insights into the spiritual path, providing guidance for those striving to transcend material attachments and awaken to higher consciousness.Building on their previous discussions, they delve deeper into the themes of spiritual unity, overcoming duality, and the transformative nature of self-realization.Their discussion begins with Saying 47, which uses a variety of vivid metaphors to illustrate the need for overcoming the dualities within ourselves and the means by which we can reconcile old cognitive frameworks with new spiritual truths. Sayings 48-49 emphasize achieving harmony within oneself and creating an internal sacred space for introspection. David and Gene interpret these teachings as a call to overcome internal duality and embrace wholeness, drawing parallels to esoteric traditions like the "Sacred Marriage" and Jungian individuation.Sayings 50-52 delve into the origins of light in the Gnostic tradition, the cyclical nature of existence, and esoteric meaning of "death" and "resurrection." The hosts unpack these teachings with references to Gnostic cosmology, emphasizing the importance of inner awareness over external rituals or authorities.The discussion continues with Sayings 53-55, which contrast external religious practices with inner spiritual work. Themes of detachment from societal conditioning and cultivating spiritual poverty emerge as essential steps toward true enlightenment.Sayings 56-58 explore the transient nature of the material world, the value of struggle in spiritual growth, and the importance of discernment in timing one's personal transformation. The episode concludes with Sayings 59-69, which address the urgency of seeking truth, protecting one's spiritual vitality from lower distractions, recognizing true authority, and maintaining connection with divine wisdom despite worldly persecution. Throughout their discussion, David and Gene attempt to bring clarity to these ancient teachings, revealing how they speak directly to the modern seeker's quest for self-knowledge. Deep Dive:The Gospel of ThomasChapters:01:15 Introduction01:41 Review03:06 Saying 4707:02 Sayings 48-4910:09 Sayings 50-5213:22 Sayings 53-5517:02 Sayings 56-5820:14 Sayings 59-6124:22 Sayings 62-6428:03 Sayings 65-6732:00 Sayings 68-6935:07 ConclusionsResources:The Gospel of Thomas (history and various translations - Gnosis.org)Gospel of Thomas (Patterson and Robinson translation)Gnosis.org - The Gnosis ArchiveThe Nag Hammadi ScripturesThe Red Book: A Reader's Edition by Carl JungJesus and the Lost Goddess: The Secret Teachings of the Original Christians by Freke and Gandy

In this episode, David and Gene continue their exploration of the Gospel of Thomas, examining sayings 24-46 of this enigmatic Gnostic text. Building on their previous discussion, they delve deeper into the three-world Gnostic cosmology: the unity of the spiritual Pleroma, the duality of the realm of Soul/Mind (Heaven), and the unity in multiplicity of the physical world (Earth).They begin by discussing a listener comment about "combining all religions," noting that spiritual unity might indeed be the ultimate goal, as suggested in Ephesians 4:13, where the original Greek terms "Gnosis" (knowledge) and "Pleroma" (fullness) reveal deeper meaning about attaining wholeness through divine knowledge.This section of the Gospel contains powerful teachings about spiritual discernment and self-mastery:Sayings 24-26 emphasize finding inner light rather than seeking externally, loving others as manifestations of the divine, and addressing one's own spiritual blindness before criticizing others.Sayings 27-29 contrast spiritual awareness with material distraction, describing humanity as "drunk" with worldly concerns rather than "thirsty" for self-knowledge, while marveling at how consciousness (great wealth) resides within physical form (poverty).Sayings 30-32 outline the three stages of Gnostic initiation and the importance of consistent spiritual practice in establishing one's character as "a city on a high mountain."Sayings 33-35 explore spiritual discernment, warning against following blind guides while encouraging the sharing of inner wisdom.Sayings 36-41 address detachment from material concerns, the suppression of symbolic readings of sacred texts, and the principle that spiritual understanding multiplies when cultivated.Sayings 42-44 discuss becoming "passers-by" (detached observers), judging teachers by their fruits, and the consequences of acting against one's own experience of truth.Sayings 45-46 conclude with teachings on cultivating positive thoughts and transcending the ego, with John the Baptist representing the consciousness that can see Gnosis as the goal but requires the "final stroke" of ego death to achieve it.Throughout their analysis, David and Gene reveal how these ancient sayings speak to the modern seeker's journey toward self-realization, offering insights into overcoming material attachments, developing spiritual discernment, and achieving wholeness by overcoming the delusion of the false self.Deep Dive:The Gospel of ThomasChapters:01:15 Introduction03:41 Review04:57 Sayings 24-2608:01 Sayings 27-2911:32 Sayings 30-3214:38 Sayings 33-3517:43 Sayings 36-3819:51 Sayings 39-4122:42 Sayings 42-4425:16 Sayings 45-4628:26 ConclusionsResources:The Gospel of Thomas (history and various translations - Gnosis.org)Gospel of Thomas (Patterson and Robinson translation)Gnosis.org - The Gnosis ArchiveThe Nag Hammadi ScripturesThe Red Book: A Reader's Edition by Carl JungJesus and the Lost Goddess: The Secret Teachings of the Original Christians by Freke and GandyFederico Faggin on Idealism, Quantum Mechanics, Free Will, and Identity
