In a Personal Correspondence (Abridged) - Julian Doyle

If Jesus was a God then he cannot have been killed - you can't kill a God or I doubt if you can even make him bleed. If he died then he was not a God. If he resurrected then he just joins all the hundreds of resurrections in the Bible. But of course, we know that resurrection is a semi masonic resurrection using the Lion’s paw grip.

When Jesus tells his disciples “Lazarus is dead”, Thomas says, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” What can Thomas possibly mean by that? The answer comes from the rituals of the Freemasons. In third degree initiation the Lodge is darkened and the novitiate, who is about to be made a Master Mason, is laid to death under a shroud with a skull and crossed bones over his head. Then while one Master offers a secret grip, the novitiate is hinged up from the grave by the Masters, as the magic words are said, resurrecting him back to life as a Master Mason. That would certainly make sense as to why the others would want to die and be resurrected into the next stage of initiation.

Wendy's Dream Column (1)

Dream: I'm in a flat overlooking the sea and my boyfriend is on an oil rig. I can see him but the sea is between us. I long to be with him. Later, I am looking from the window and he arrives in a car. I so want to see his face but a van parks in the way. PD Slough

Wendy's reply: Bridge the Gap! When you see him does he remain distant and unavailable? There could be something between you that is too deep for him to speak of. There are times when you could see him but things get in the way. They could be got round eventually. He may have slipped into bad habits or have a fear of commitment. If he is not fulfilling your needs for love and intimacy, you may have to look for a man who can give these to you.
