from Masonic Muscle · host The Origin War Has Begun
What did the ancient Greek philosophers seek in Egypt?In EP 101 of Masonic Muscle, I continue the journey into the Ancient Mystery Schools of Egypt and ask why so many seekers, philosophers, and students of wisdom were drawn to Egypt in search of hidden knowledge, initiation, and profound teaching.Many Greek philosophers were said to have traveled for years hoping to be accepted into the Egyptian Mystery Schools.Why?Because men have always wanted the mystery.They want the secret.They want the pearl of great price.They want knowledge that transforms them.But here is the hard question:Are modern Masons willing to work hard enough to receive what they claim to seek?This episode solves one Masonic Muscle problem:How can Masons seek mystery, wisdom, and leadership without avoiding the discipline required to earn them?We discuss:the Ancient Mystery Schools of EgyptGreek philosophers traveling to Egyptinitiation, hidden knowledge, and transformationwhy men are drawn to mystery and secrecythe pearl of great priceDwight L.
