Re: The Great Architect?
Does it matter? A human brain cannot even calculate properly how fire behaves, that's why we are fascinated by it since the dawn of time. The more relevant question, to me, should be how do you become the great architect of your own life right?

Another good joke from him is this one: A small boy asks his mother wether god is a man or a woman. After thinking for a little bit the mother says: "It's both." The boy was intrigued and asked: "Is god black or white?" The mother replied "It's both." Now the son was shocked and said: "God is Michael Jackson?!!"
In all siriusness though, and If you like Kabbala, maybe Sophia is the true goddess. Because everyone knows Daddy is powerless to Mothers wishes isn't he, he he. She has the ... so she makes the rules no?

What a thread to come back to.
I suppose as an aspiring freemason I am extremely curious.

Re: The Great Architect?
We are all here to learn, Nazheek.
The thing is belief... Do you want to believe or do you want to know? Many people can tell you many many exciting stories about god or what they believe to be god, but at the end of the day god is beyond thought. What use is it if we give you some random name? Like Sadhguru says: "You can believe it or you can not believe it, after all it will be just another story to you." Right? God can be experianced by dissolving into it not by putting a finger on it.
The story is about a jewish rabbi who lived in the first century CE. He was challenged by a very powerful emperor:
"I want to see your god.", the emperor said to the rabbi.
"You cannot.", replied the rabbi.
"But i insist.",repeated the emperor.
The rabbi told him to look up into the blazing sun in the sky. "Look into the sun." the Rabbi said.
"I cannot." replied the emperor.
"If you cannot look at the sun, which god has made, then how can you expect to see god himself?"

Re: The Great Architect?
“I searched for God among the Christians and on the Cross and therein I found Him not.
I went into the ancient temples of idolatry; no trace of Him was there.
I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandhar but God I found not.
With set purpose I fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation.
Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young; God was not there even.
Turning to philosophy I inquired about him from ibn Sina but found Him not within his range.
I fared then to the scene of the Prophet's experience of a great divine manifestation only a "two bow-lengths' distance from him" but God was not there even in that exalted court.
Finally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him; He was nowhere else.”
Jalaluddin Rumi

Re: The Great Architect?
There was a young boy who was constantly getting into trouble, so his parents decided to bring him to a guru so that he can learn about god. The boy sat with the guru and the guru asked: "Where is god?" The boy was nervous and looked around in the room desperately. The guru understood he must be more specifical and looked down on himself and repeated: "Where is god?" The boy looked under the table. The guru decided he needs to point some little more to it, to help the boy. He tipped the boy on his chest and asked very seriously: "Where is god?"
The boy was fearful and ran home to his older brother and said: "Brother, brother we are in big trouble! They have lost their god and they think we did it!"

Good to see you around by the way my friend! And if you want to take any advice, don't join any organisation. Most of the masons have fallen behind big time a long long time ago. The stuff presented on this site & forum is way hotter than anything they can give you. If anything they should come and learn here. 100% serious.

The Freemasons are not about gaining hidden knowledge, that is hollywood nonesense.
Freemasonry is about simple worship and fraternity, with a simple goal of making someone a better person.

Re: The Great Architect?
Good morning, well just about Nazheek and ANONYMOUS1999, having recently inserted an image of one of William Blake’s works of genius 'The Ancient of Days' 1794, there are many of his religiously motivated pieces that fall into this category, in a reply to a newcomers welcome reply post, I am reminded that the Architect of the Universe is the dominant figure within the Rosicrucian Fellowship’s conception of God and the scheme of evolution. It is an intensely fascinating branch of mystic Christianity and one certainly worthy of further study and understanding.
According to the Rosicrucian Western Wisdom Teachings, in the beginning of a Day of Manifestation a certain collective Great Being, God, restricts himself to a specific segment of space, wherein he elects to create a Solar System to foster the evolution of expanded self-consciousness.
Within this conception of God there resides hosts of glorious Hierarchies along with lesser beings of every grade of intelligence and stage of consciousness, ranging from omniscience to an unconsciousness that is of a depth that exceeds the very deepest trance condition. During the present period of manifestation these various grades of beings are working to gain far greater experience than they possessed at the beginning of this period of existence. Those who have achieved the highest degree of development in previous manifestations are duty bound to work with those who have not yet evolved any tangible form of consciousness.
The time period devoted to the attainment of self-consciousness and to the construction of the vehicles through which the spirit in humankind manifests, is known as ‘Involution’. The succeeding period of existence, during which the individual human being develops self-consciousness into divineomniscience, is referred to as ‘Evolution’. Every evolving being has a ‘force’ within them which ensures that evolution is not to a mere enfoldment of latent germinal possibilities but a process where each individual is different from every other. This force, is called ‘Epigenesis’, and provides the element of originality and thus gives broadening scope to the creative ability which the evolving being needs to cultivate in order that they may become a God.
The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity observes that in the Solar system, designated as God's Habitation, there are seven Worlds differentiated by God, within himself, one after another. The number 7 is significant across many religions. These Worlds have each possess a different ‘measure’ and rate of vibration but are not separated by space or distance, as is the case of the earth from the other planets. They are therefore states of matter, which vary in density and vibration (as is exactly the case with the solids, liquids and gases of the physical Earth). Although, these seven Worlds are not instantaneously created at the beginning of a day of Manifestation, nor do they last until the end. The evolutionary process is carried through five of these Worlds, the point of balance, in seven great Periods of manifestation, during which the evolving virgin spirit first becomes human and then later a God. The highest Worlds are created first, and as involution slowly imbues life into denser and denser matter for the building of forms, the finer Worlds gradually condense and new Worlds become differentiated within God in order to establish the necessary links between Himself and the Worlds which have consolidated. In due course the point of greatest density, the nadir of materiality, is reached. From that point the life begins to ascend into higher Worlds, as evolution progresses. That leaves the denser Worlds depopulating, one by one. Once a specific World has served the purpose for which it was created, then God ends its existence deeming it superfluous, this is effected by the cessation within Himself of the particular activity which brought into being and sustained that World in the first place.
Rosicrucians teach that the seven Worlds referred to above belong to the lowest of the seven ‘Cosmic Planes’. The Worlds and Cosmic Planes are not ranked one above another in space, but the seven Cosmic Planes inter-penetrate each other as well as all seven Worlds. They are states of spirit-matter, permeating one another, so that God and the other great Beings may pervade every part of their own realms in conjunction with realms of greater density than their own, including our world in which we live: ‘in Him we live and move and have our being’. Shifting from the physical world to the inner worlds, God - the ‘Architect of the Solar System’, the Source and objective of human existence – is to be found in the highest division of the seventh Cosmic Plane: this is His World. In order to trace the origin of the Architect of the Solar System, one must pass to the highest of the seven Cosmic Planes: known as the ‘Realm of the Supreme Being’, who both originated and emerged from ‘The Absolute’. The Absolute is viewed as beyond comprehension and, as a manifestation implies limitation, He is seen as best described as the ‘Boundless Being’: the ‘Root of Existence’..
In belief sequence, the Supreme Being emerges from The Absolute at the dawn of manifestation: this is The One, the 'Great Architect of the Universe'. The first aspect of the Supreme Being may be characterised as Power, it is from this Power that the second aspect, the Word proceeds, and from both of these the third aspect, Motion proceeds. Then from the threefold Supreme Being proceed the ‘seven Great Logoi’. Within Themselves they contain all the great Hierarchies which differentiate more and more as they diffuse through the various Cosmic Planes. In the Highest World of the seventh Cosmic Plane dwells the God of the Solar Systems in the Universe. These great Beings are also threefold in manifestation, like the Supreme Being. Their three aspects are Will, Wisdom and Activity.

Re: The Great Architect?
I recognize that Art of the compasses from a very special book my friend Redback... Together we heal. Another circle closes. Thank you for your post, Rosicrucianism is one of the most interesting topics indeed.
By the way, gematria : G.A.O.T.U. (GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE) = 64 = G7+A1+O15+T20+U21 {6+4=10=1}
Ten is none but one is one. The 1 and the zero overlayed however... Phi.
GREAT ARC-HI-TEC-T OF THE UNI-VERSE.
The rose that grew from concrete...
"Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Provin nature's laws wrong it learned how to walk without havin feet
Funny it seems but, by keepin its dreams
It, learned to breathe FRESH air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
When no one else even cared
No one else even cared..
The rose that grew from concrete"
