Precisely. You get the humour.
With that in perspective, my experience living with addicts is that they are
more addicted to the process than the drug. The rituals of drugs and the
rituals of freemasonry capture people in the same way. The new world order
is not about control through networks of Freemasonry it is about control
through networks of Drugs.
People who decide to stop their level of involvement with Freemasonry feel a
sort of withdrawl that is not disimilar to people who decide to stop their
level of involvement with drugs. Rituals are powerful, as are social
networks.
In years gone by politicians became Freemasons. In recent years politicians
have "admitted" that they were into the drug culture at one time.
Do people start taking drugs because they want to be part of the now "in
group"? Did people become Freemasons because they wanted to be part of the
then "in group"? What will the next "in group" be?
