IGNORANCE

The ignorant believer or member of the Order is a drone and an encumbrance in the Order. He who does not study the nature, the design, the history and character of the Institution, but from the hour of his initiation or acceptance neither gives nor receives any ideas that could not be shared by a profane, is of no more advantage to The Mystical Order than being selfish is to himself (herself). The true Mystical member seeks light that darkness may be dispelled, and knowledge that ignorance may be removed. The ignorant aspirant, no matter how loudly he or she may have asked for light, is still a blind grouper in the dark. Therefore, walk in the light of the word giving heed to the things of God. Then truth shall prevail.
