   Congradulations! (You Made It! [Whatever Took You So Long?!]).

   We Know The Road To Freemasonry Is Long & Enduring, Troublesome (At Times), And Heavily Coated With Uncertainties For Those of You Without Support Coming In (Note To Reader: We're Glad You Didn't Give Up, And We Look Forward To Meeting You Soon!). 

   Many of You Happening Upon This Page Did So Generally Looking Up The Topic: Freemasonry. And Still... For Those of You With Whom This Description Fits, There Is The Matter of Putting Mind To The Purpose of: What Style, Tradition (Aligning You With "What Constitution") And Therefore What District (Not Born Out of Location, But Born Out of Necessity [And, The Flow of Regulatory Passions - Identifiable Through The True Mechanics of A Sea-Worthy Ship's "Captians' Quarters" & "Ships' Sails" - Navigating His Own Vessel Through Life's To's & Fro's]) of Freemasonry You Will Ultimately Decide To Pledge Your "All In All" To!

   People Interested In Joining Freemasonry Today Are Typically Individuals Seeking Membership Within A Community Focused On One Or More Of Three Things:

 [1] Moral Development;

 [2] Self-Improvement;

 [3] Familial Fraternal Ties, And, (YES!)

 [4] Charitable Work!

   And, While This Is Admittedly The Tempo of Lodge Business Across The Entire Known-World of Freemasonry Today, It Is Regretably Not Always Entirely What Ambition Leads The Aspirant - With G-d Speed - The Way To Our Halls Expressing A Desire To Be Initiated.

   Since The Rise of Athelstanian Freemasonry, Men Have Been Drawn To The Organization's Infamous: 

 [i] Acquired Rich History (i.e., The Re-Acquisition of Lost-Knowledge, And Its Re-Applied Development, Institutionalized As Such);

 [ii] Ritualistic Ceremonies (viz., Drawing From A Time When Honor - Alone - Ruled The Conduct of Men In Full Service of TMH), And,

 [iii] Belief In A Higher Power [Irregardless of Ones' Specific Religious Affiliations/Beliefs] (Another 'Contemporary' - Highlighted Favorite - Expressing The Uniquely DISTINCT Needs of The Latter-Day Athelstanian-Bloodline Recieving Brethren of The Craft).

   While There Is Nothing At All Untoward About That, SENIOR Freemasonry Re-Examines The Orgins Leading To The Fraternity: Freemasonry (And, All Its Auxilliary-Bodies Elected): (a) Its Practices [Leading Candidates Up To The Lodge Steps, Through To Examination of The Petition So Submitted, And (If Granted) Upon Advancement Through Degrees], (b) Its Conduct [id., Also The Way It Executes Charity Throughout The Communities It Was Designed To "Serve & Subdue"]; (c) Its Intentions [id., ESPECIALLY, The Way It Executes Charity Throughout The Communities It Was Designed To "Serve & Subdue"], And, (d) Its Utility [id., Also Affecting The Way It Executes Charity Throughout The World It Was Designed To "Serve & Subdue"]!

   We Are Guided By The SENIOR Tradition of Freemasonry As Maintained In The Home Lands Credited For Originating Them (And, Not Some Partial Records of An Infamous "Greek Matheticians' Manuscripted Dissertation" Happened Upon Not Long Before The Turn of The Common Era, Merely - And, At Best - Introducing The Craft!). And, Therefore Pay Special Attention To:

 [a] The Process of Reviewing [i.e., Proving & Disproving The Readiness of A Candidates'] Petitions,

 [b] Preparing The Candidate (Proving Themselves Worthy) Through Today's Omitted Masonic Pre-Initiatic Rites of Passage;

 [c] Initiating Candidates (Proving Themselves Worthy), And

 [d] Conducting Lodge Business (Properly; Faithfully).

   It Is A Common Presumption In Freemasonry That Everything Earned In The Advancement of Later Trainings, All Return You Back To The Beginning. The Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance (P5) Approach We Initiate, Pays Attention To The Special Details In The Beginning... To Set Our Initiates Off Along The (Right) Path With A Lamp - Whole, In The Shadow of His Own Light - With A Secret Word, And A Pass: SMIB!
