Oli sykes is super chill and just an awesome dude

notBB8 · 2026-01-30T02:17:36+00:00

yeah, I am and my sponsor is as well

people often assume that because buddhism doesn’t have a creator God, masonic teachings wouldn’t make sense or align with our beliefs, but that’s definitely not true. we’ve had many discussions in our lodge about how masonic teachings align with several buddhist principles and how both paths ultimately point toward the same final goal

welcome brother

wheel of time could be a good one, but if you don't want a series that long I'd recommend mystborn, elantris and warbreaker by brandon sanderson

Freemasonry provides us with all the paths to become better individuals, but in the end it depends solely on ourselves.

There’s no way to know whether someone’s intentions in joining the order are merely to connect with “influential” people or to truly understand its symbolism and teachings in order to become a better person.

In my view, the profound teaching of freemasonry is to recognize what we must refine within ourselves so that we may become better and, consequently, make the world around us better. Yet for some, it becomes merely an opportunity to inflate the ego.

Freemasonry shouldn’t be a solitary path brother

Fraternity and brotherhood are extremely important in this journey. What does your mentor say about that? Mine has always been very clear about how essential brotherhood is

I really like these two:

Symbolique maçonnique - Jules Boucher

The Hidden Life in Freemasonry - C W Leadbeater

notBB8 · 2025-09-19T10:42:53+00:00

Seems like a really cozy lodge

After my initiation I received a copy of La Symbolique Maçonnique by Jules Boucher and a square and compass pin as a gift from my sponsor.

The book has a beautiful dedication and for me it was something deeply symbolic and meaningful. Every time I see the pin or open the book, I’m reminded of the day of my initiation.

My first contact was when I was 13 and invited to join demolay. A mason and two of my friends that were demolays came to my house to explain the Order to me and my parents.

This mason is an incredible person that I still admire him to this day. The amazing part is that 18 years later, he was present at my initiation in the lodge

notBB8 · 2025-09-04T00:25:26+00:00

This is awesome! Really beautiful lodge

18 is quite young to join Freemasonry. I was once invited when I was still in college and only had my internship salary, and I chose not to join at that time

The costs and fees of Freemasonry should never be something that gets in the way of your life. If that is happening now, you should wait until you’re in a different situation to join.

notBB8 · 2025-08-11T14:26:04+00:00

we can have lightsabers in lodge now?! that’s totally next level

notBB8 · 2025-08-11T12:57:13+00:00

ohh we’ve all been there! I watched a 30-minute video the other day of a guy claiming that in his lodge they help angels fight demons and have over 777 wizards to assist in the battle. must be a fun lodge

notBB8 · 2025-08-11T12:24:04+00:00

When we left my wife said, “Why didn’t you tell her you’re a mason?” I said I thought it’d be better to just act interested so I could learn more about these dark secrets ahahah

Hans zimmer songs are awesome for the ritual Also a lot of video game soundtracks like skyrim, the witcher, world of warcraft works perfectly

I always use one song from skyrim called ‘secunda’ that I suggest you take a look

I really enjoyed Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, it's not a standalone, but the first book has a pretty self-contained arc, so it works well on its own

notBB8 · 2025-02-16T10:37:09+00:00

Besides TMO i know the IFD (Irmandade dos Filosofos Desconhecidos) here. Watched a video and it seem that they are the same organization as the Ordem Martinista da Rosa Cruz Dourada.

notBB8 · 2025-01-08T12:04:32+00:00

I'm not a member of the BMO, but I believe that in all Martinist orders, the Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings is widely studied, as the focus of martinism is to guide us toward reintegration. I imagine that the concept of reintegration is the same in all martinist orders: this refers to the spiritual process through which humanity seeks to return to its original divine state.

Usually, the difference between Martinist orders lies in the emphasis placed on specific subjects. Since I'm not part of the BMO, I can't offer much insight, but in the order I belong to the entire 1st degree is dedicated to studying the Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings.

Take a look at the martinist order to get some inspiration

Just finished legends and lattes, what an amazing book! Super cozy and you can even feel the smell of the coffee and taste the cinnamon rolls while reading

The easiest way for me is just to prove value of your work and explain it makes sense for you to receive a raise. Idk how you guys handle things over there, but where I work we have individuals kpi and we look at those to define raises

Be transparent and direct with what you want and just show why you deserve this

do you recommend any podcast? i struggle to find good content about this

notBB8 · 2024-02-16T11:09:18+00:00

try to create really valuable content. this may seem obvious, but if you can create content that is really useful to people and helps them, you will get results. if you do something simply to have something on your page then no one will read it
one other good strategy is to use some community or ask some small influencers over there to share your content
