Q & A
- What Is The Institution: Freemasonry?
A. In The Words of An Author Perused Too Long Ago To Remember: "Although, The Truth Is Self-Evident, It Often Requires The Peak of Eloquence To Convey!". The Institution: Freemasonry, Is Therefore A System of Morality That Uses Allegories And Symbols Through Which To Reach The Peak of Eloquence For Each Participant - And, Allied - Brethren So Involved.
- What Is SENIOR Freemasonry?
A. SENIOR Freemasonry Is A Masonic Tradition Originating Its Practices From More of An Archaic Source. It Is Revival In All Points of Entrance Into FREEMASONRY, Celebrating The Craft From An Ancient & (UNIVERSALLY) Accepted Hebrew Origin.
- But, Why Is It Called SENIOR Freemasonry?
A. That's A Fantastic Question! Any Opportunity To Speak of The Chief [PROTECTING] Avatar Is A Splendid Opportunity Made Great Use of! SENIOR Freemasonry Is An Expression Both Celebrating The Chief Avatar: The Illustrious, Most Pussaint, Sovereign Supreme Grand Commander, Dr. Clifford E. Hazel Bey (SENIOR) 33°/97°, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern & Western Districts, Inc./Memphis-Misraim Rite of Freemasonry... From Whom The Notion Lending Benevolent Aide & Assistance Bearing Eternal Brotherly Love Was Expressed: "If Your Not Practicing Your Own Freemasonry, Whose Freemasonry Are You Practicing?". And, Therefore, From Whom We Set Off On The Journey To Practicing Our Own Freemasonry: SENIOR Freemasonic Origins!
- You Mentioned The Ancient Scottish Rite, The Memphis-Misraim Rite, And I'd Suppose The Ancient Free Moorish Rite In Passing. We've All Heard, And Know of The York Rite, The Prince Hall Affiliates & Origin, All Receiving Their Charters Directly From The United Grand Lodge of England. From Where Did SENIOR Freemasonry Derive?
A. Well, Unlike Other Rites of Freemasonry That Omit Valuable Bits & Pieces of Their Ancient Origins (Out of Fear & A Sting To The Conscience) The Ancient & Accepted: Mystic Hebrew Rite - The Leading SENIOR FMO Rite Aboard The African Constitution - Bears No Significant Burden To The Claims of Freemasonry. And, May Therefore Be Taken As Having Its Origins Deep Within The Center From Which Each Navigational Arrow Suggested - Leading From "The Black Seed" Discussion - Draws Its Lines of Relativity To Every Other Tradition Calling Upon Freemasonry As Its Honorable, And, Most Humble Beginnings.
- So, Then SENIOR Freemasonry Was Not Necessarily Given Grant of Charter By Any Main-Stream Freemasonic Body Organized Today?
A. [i] Well, That's Just Putting It Right Out There For Everyone, Isn't It? Alright, Then! Lets Get It Done! The Short Answer To That Is A Coterie Connecting: Yes To No. SENIOR Freemasonry Was Initially Dreamt Up Together With - viz., FROM Dr. Nehkhemya "Abey" Nahkh'sh, S&SGC, On Behalf & Formation Of The A&A:MHR Addressed TO Dr. Aalim Bey, El Dey, S&SGC of The AFMR - And Was Discussed At Length. It Was Expressed-Permission Granted (Without Any Further Immediate Actions Taken Thereupon), And, Was As A Result Announced To Both A Modern-Day Ab'ryi Yashara'alyim Melechk Awa'Aferyiqa [Hebrew Israelite King of Africa], And, A Modern-Descending P'rau of KM.T [Pharaoh of Myitzrayim/Egypt]. As Such, It Will Be The Only Freemasonic Tradition Granted By A Committee of Three Distinct African Authorities (Also, Raising The Establishment of The Premier: Soveriegn & Supreme Grand Lodge of Africa [P:S&SGLA] To Biblical Proportion): 1. A Hebrew Israelite King (The ONLY Freemasonic Rite To Petition An African King); 2. A KHM.T Pharoah (The ONLY Freemasonic Rite To Petition A KHM.T Pharoah); 3. The AFMR S&SGC (The ONLY Freemasonic Rite To Be Granted And Recognized By The Ancient Free Moorish Rite)! [ii] At Present, SENIOR Freemasonry Was Revealed Out of A&A: MHR Founder, Dr. "Abey" Nahkh'sh, S&SGC's Attempts To Relate The Life-Altering Treasures of NAUTICAL Freemasonry He Witnessed On-Board The Most Venerable Supreme Flagship, Al-Akhet Jariyyah No. #001 [Expressing The Rite In Arabic, Heavily Coating It With Traditional Islamic Accents, Goading The Master-Mason To Find His Way Through The World Laid Out Before Him, Under MOORISH Identity] Back To The Ab'ryi Yashara'alyim Melechk [Hebrew Israelite King] & Melchkawat Awa'Yashara'alyim [Kingdom of Israelites] He Serves (He Himself A Devout Hebrew Israelite); [iii] (The Problem Came NOT In His Own Inability To Comprehend The Magnificent Blessings Written Throughout The Halls Reflecting The Things The Arabic World Has Historically Contributed To The Developing World of Freemasonry. No. Dr. Aalim Bey, El Dey, The Sovereign & Supreme Grand Commander of The AFMR Is An Excellent SAILOR! Master-Navigator & Right-Captain of The Seven-Seas, Guided Even Upon Troubled Waters By The CHIEF AVATAR Still [Even To This Very Day!]. So, It Came In Dr. Nahkh'sh's (The A&AMHR Sovereign & Supreme Grand Commanders) Own Inability To Explain These Treasures Come Upon Through Explorations With The AFMR, Back With Hebrew Israelites, Jews, And Judeo-Christians, Who May Recall An Even More Ancient - More SENIOR - Relationship With NAUTICAL Freemasonry And Their Own Source of First LIGHT!).
- What Does SENIOR Freemasonry Have To Offer To The World Overall, And Freemasons All Over The World?
A[i]. SENIOR Freemasonry Thrives Off of The Aging Freemasonic Axiom, Recommitting Brethren - Raised To Degree - Back To The Process of: "Making Good Men, Better"; [ii] We Do Not Make Sport & Game of The Initiatic-Process Disguising The Entire Ordeal Under Authority of That Portion Marked And Reserved For "Side-Degrees" ("Those Things That Have Nothing To Do With The Advancement of The Candidate, Or His Education, But Is Done Specifically For The Brethrens Amusement"). Instead of Committing Brethren - Both, Initiated & Petitioning - To The Coercive Power of Suggestion Through A Surprise Examination Performed Outside The Protection of The Lodge, In An Uncultivated Environment Inconsistent With The Education, Or Advancement of the Brethren (Those Unaccompanied By Proper Education In What's Actually Being Disrupted [The Freemasonic Pre-Requisite Relationship With Alawahyim-TMH] & Reharnessed With Evil Intent, And A Noticeable Itch To the Ear), We Open The Way Before Throwing Participants Down An Unsolicited Rabbit Hole (Mentioned Nowhere In The Fine-Print). [iii] By Establishment of "The Friends of The LODGE Society", We Have Set The Hand of The Master Mason To The Design of A Pre-Initiatic Process, That Primarily Investigates Whether Or Not The Freemasonic-Pre-Requisite Belief In Alawahyim Is Intact Within The Candidate Well Before Moving Onward With His Petition (And, Accepting Him An Apprentice), Within An Actual System, And Not To the Whims of Brethrens Amusement. [iv] With "The Friends of The LODGE Society", We Also Ensure The Aspirant Reaches The Lodge Doors In The Best Version of Himself, Earnestly Earning The Titles of Goodness Associated With Self-Discipline, Studiousness, And The Observed Process of Ridding Blameworthy Worldly Conduct From His Own Soul (Allowing Him "The Appearance of A Mason", Even Upon Petitioning). [v] The Social-Standing & Stature of The Candidate Is Also Changed By Advancement Through The Apprenticeship Degrees Offered By "The Friends of the LODGE Society". At Least 1/3 of The On-Boarding Process Clearing The Way To Full Membership Within Our "Society", Is Accomplished Through The Universal {LIFE] (Religious) Corporation (Whose First Contacts With The United Nations, World Humans Rights Groups, U.S. Navy, The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, Europolice, &c., Gives Way To A Promising Future For Any Post-Graduates (Hence Our Commitment To: "Making Good Men, Better").
- If One Were Interested, How Would They Become A SENIOR Freemason?
A. Why, 2B1 [Just] Ask1! Unlike Other Freemasonic Lodges, An Aspirant Coming In Cannot Have Direct Contact With A SENIOR FMO Lodge (Lodge Business Is Lodge Business. If One Is Not Invited, It Is Not Their Business To Know, Nor Are They At Liberty To Invite Themselves). That Is What "The Friends of The LODGE Society" Was Created For: To Ensure Candidates Are Raised To Proper Degree Well Before Reaching The Halls of The Lodge!
- What Is "The Friends of The LODGE Society"?
A. Well, "The Friends of The LODGE Society" Is Initially The Enduring Vision Of Dr. Abey Nahkh'sh, A&AMHR-S&SGC To Restore The Pre-Masonic Initiatic Apprenticeship Degrees, However - And, In Its Development - Is Now Positioned To Assume A Grater Role of Support To Candidates (Interested In Freemasonry), And Freemasons Across The World.
- Sounds Interesting... So, Your Saying, Before One Can Become A SENIOR Freemason, They Have To First Be Apart of "The Friends of The LODGE Society"?
A. Yes & No. For The Two Paths Are Truly One And The Same. Once The Candidate Seeks Admittance Into "The Friends of The LODGE Society" They Enter The Journey of The SENIOR Path of Freemasonry. Advancement Through The LODGE Society Affords The Aspirant Invitation After Invitation To Lodge After Lodge, And, The Opportunity To Be Awarded Full Masonic-Badges of Honor Through A SENIOR FMO Apprenticeship LODGE System of Degrees. A Freemasonic Petition Can Not Be Allowed Into A SENIOR FMO Lodge of Right Jurisdiction Without Having Been Raised Up Through The Halls of "The Friends of The LODGE Society".
- Now, THAT DOES Sound Interesting. How Would Someone Join "The Friends of The LODGE Society"?
A. The Process Is Still The Same: 2B1 [Just] Ask1! There Is A Petition. There's A Questionnaire. There's An Interview. There's Distant-Education On-Boarding, And Then, There's A lot of Charity Work. There's "A Commitment To Seeing Things Through Till The End". And, Therefore To Join "The Friends of The LODGE Society" One Would First Need To Figure Out Whether Freemasonry - At Least In THAT Sense - Is A Right Fit For Them, Or Not.
- Would There Be Anything That Disqualifies One From Either Joining The "Friends of The LODGE Society", And Further Yet Still Advancing To Participate In This Tradition: SENIOR Freemasonry?
A. There As It Is Three Examinations That Will Exclude A Would-Be Friend, And Future SENIOR To The Craft If They Successfully Reveal The Applicant of: 1. Being An Atheist (Not Having As Their Base Faith Religious Beliefs. And Practices, Those Aligned With: Djudayism/Ab'ryi Yasharal'yim; Messianism/Christianity; Islam. All Others Will Be Excluded From This Rite: SMIB); 2. A Belief In And Devotion To Hkhellel [Lucifer] (The Devil, Satan, &c), Lyilyit, Or Baphomet (Any One Believing In Any of These Are ETERNALLY Denied Access, Welcome. AND Instruction Into SENIOR Freemasonry: SMIB!); 3. A Blatant Disregard For haShabbat (Many of The Mystic Hebrew Rites And Lodge Meetings Themselves, Are Only Accomplished At The End of A Properly Observed haShabbat. Those Incapable of Keeping This Day Sacred Will Be FOREVERMORE Denied A Friend To This LODGE Society, And Restricted From Ever Participating In The Rite, SENIOR Freemasonry: SMIB!).
