LDS and Freemason {DEEP DIVE}

[Aion]

I would offer the notion that the Golden Dawn falls under the "fringe masonry" umbrella, and actually their style at one point would have been derided by many masons. Nowadays a lot of these fraternities are intermingling. However, Golden Dawn is distinct from Freemasonry in many ways.

I do not think any of these schools are purely positive or negative. I think they all have mixed elements to their teachings, and rather than it being a function of the teaching I think it is more a function of the mind and soul which holds the teaching that determines the true polarity. The same words can be interpreted in many ways.

Ra talks about "use" of catalyst. We "use" catalyst in positive or negative ways. People get caught up in trying to describe catalyst as positive or negative. I think it is neither, it only becomes so as it filters through the system of the one who is imprinted by it. A positive adept can turn even deep negativity positive, and vice versa. Hence the art of transmutation can work for both construction and destruction. Both sides are needed for the Great Work.

Also interesting note regarding the duality of black and white, there is actually a phenomenon whereby on the western part of the world black is seen as death and white as life, but on the other side of the planet, such as Japan, these colours are opposite. It's worth noting that for every rule in one place, there is a mirror image in another.
