Freemasons and Rosicrucians belonged to mystery schools and followed specific teachings. These teachings were the collective wisdom entrusted to a few and given to the many. This wisdom was passed down from one member to another and transmitted through allegory, symbol and initiation because of the limitations of language. In every age the wisdom was re-interpreted to be meaningful for a modern audience.
Any new interpretation has always encountered stiff resistance from the established ways of thinking carried over from the past. In today's world the Catholic Church used to dominate the western world. Today our universities and scientific materialism dominate. There is no use for spirituality any more or so it seems. At least we enjoy public education and our society is mostly literate.
In a world where the Catholic Church dominated there were no public schools and no access to controversial theories or concepts except for Secret Societies. It is easy for us to take for granted the basic philosophical understanding and training we recieve through the public school system. This was not always available to the common man or woman.
Private tutors educated the rich and others found apprenticeships to learn trades and life skills. Most of this training and education was oral and given by a master to his or her apprentice.
For those not rich enough to have private tutors organizations like Freemasonry were the only option. Education has always been the best way for anyone to climb into a better social class. For the first time social organizations served the highest cause of all.
In the process of carving one's own destiny self-education, self-esteem, and the conscious individual have always been the highest cause. Mystery schools and fraternal organizations are simply people of like mind and values that join together is a supportive way for mutual education and self empowerment.
Like the modern open source community in the computer world, there is a shared dream of what people working together can do to improve all of life. This is a move away from selfish greed and poverty thinking. It is an understanding of the miracles a supportive community can achieve.
These movements are what allows a nation and its citizens to evolve into a higher way of living and understanding. These are the progressive movement of life that will always exist within creative individuals.
Sadly even the best movements grow old and toxic. The message that once saved and invigorated a population begins to restrict and enslave it. This is a natural cycle and there is no avoiding it. We grow out of our old ways and grow into new ways that allow more freedom and self-expression.
We have outgrown religion in the commonly accepted terms and harsh cold science has taken its place along with modern technology. Now even science and technology are beginning to restrict and enslave us. There is no room for spirit and individual creativity except in the acceptance of chaos theory.
OAK merges these different disciplines in a new way that is supportive of them all. With its embrace of chaos theory we are given insights into a modern path of self empowerment that is as objective and real as science with a soul as human as Christianity once was. We have the technology to heal ourselves and make life a heaven on earth. It is up to each individual to claim their own small piece.
