“History is highlighted by turning points, moments of brilliance in the journey of humanity, episodes that changed civilization. These junctures often took place at times of great tragedy, during wars, famines, plagues, and revolution. Because at precisely those times, when the worst of human depravity became evident, we also witnessed the emergence of some of our greatest humanitarians, those who withstood opposition with grace and wisdom.
As steel is forged in a blast furnace, the best in humanity can only arise out of its cruelest chapters. Oskar Schindler, a Nazi, gave away all his wealth to safeguard vulnerable Jewish people out of harm’s way, away from the gas chambers. Oskar devoted his life at significant personal risk to saving others less fortunate; this is perhaps the fundamental principle of humanity.
Mohandas Gandhi raised a family as a successful lawyer in South Africa yet chose to return to India to stop genocide. He traded a life of comfort for one of fasting, nonviolent protests, and personal risk. An assassin’s bullet took his life in 1948, but not before he had spent 78 years on the planet and changed it forever. He is revered by many as the Father of India. His nonviolent protests to further social change inspired others to do the same, like Martin Luther King Jr, Robert Kennedy, and Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela paid his price of tribulation with 27 years in a prison cell, one without a bed or plumbing. He spent his days breaking rocks and his free time writing. His manuscripts were scrutinized, restricted, censored, or destroyed. Nonetheless, he smuggled out a 500-page autobiography in 1976 and led a protest movement for prison rights.
This expanded into the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. Out of Mandela’s great suffering arose the principle of racial equality for South Africa, where he would ultimately be elected its first president. He remains affectionately known today as Madiba and is widely regarded as the Father of the Nation. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his nonviolent protests that proved victorious in ending the apartheid regime.
Dr. Tess Lawrie is a world-class researcher and consultant to the World Health Organization. Her biggest clients happen to be those who are involved in the suppression of repurposed drugs. She has decided to speak out in protest against the current medical establishment at considerable personal risk.
She co-founded the BIRD panel, an international group of experts dedicated to the transparent and accurate scientific research of Ivermectin. On April 24, 2021, she convened the International Ivermectin for COVID Conference, the first such symposium in the world held to focus on Ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19.
During the conference, she delivered a monumental closing address, one that will be recorded in the annals of medical history.
“They who design the trials and control the data also control the outcome. So, this system of industry-led trials needs to be put to an end. Data from ongoing and future trials of novel COVID treatments must be independently controlled and analyzed. Anything less than total transparency cannot be trusted.”
Dr. Lawrie called for reform of the method used to analyze scientific evidence.
She reported, “The story of Ivermectin has highlighted that we are at a remarkable juncture in medical history. The tools that we use to heal and our connection with our patients are being systematically undermined by relentless disinformation stemming from corporate greed. The story of Ivermectin shows that we as a public have misplaced our trust in the authorities and have underestimated the extent to which money and power corrupts.
Had Ivermectin being employed in 2020 when medical colleagues around the world first alerted the authorities to its efficacy, millions of lives could have been saved, and the pandemic with all its associated suffering and loss brought to a rapid and timely end.”
Dr. Lawrie called out the corruption of modern medicine by Big Pharma and other interests.
She went on, “Since then, hundreds of millions of people have been involved in the largest medical experiment in human history. Mass vaccination was an unproven novel therapy. Hundreds of billions will be made by Big Pharma and paid for by the public. With politicians and other nonmedical individuals dictating to us what we are allowed to prescribe to the ill, we as doctors, have been put in a position such that our ability to uphold the Hippocratic oath is under attack.
At this fateful juncture, we must therefore choose, will we continue to be held ransom by corrupt organizations, health authorities, Big Pharma, and billionaire sociopaths, or will we do our moral and professional duty to do no harm and always do the best for those in our care? The latter includes urgently reaching out to colleagues around the world to discuss which of our tried and tested safe older medicines can be used against COVID.”
Finally, Dr. Lawrie suggested that physicians form a new World Health Organization that represents the interests of the people, not corporations and billionaires, a people-centered organization.
“Never before has our role as doctors been so important because never before have we become complicit in causing so much harm.”
Dr. Albert Schweitzer would be proud. A Nobel laureate from 1952, Dr. Schweitzer won the Nobel Prize not for his work as a renowned medical missionary physician, but “for his altruism, reverence for life, and tireless humanitarian work which has helped make the idea of brotherhood between men and nations a living one.”
While Mandela and King fought for equality in human rights, Dr. Schweitzer is most remembered for his principle of the ethic of “reverence for life.”
Schweitzer wrote, “Ethics is nothing other than reverence for life. Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists of maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life, and to destroy, harm or hinder life is evil.”
Dr. Tess Lawrie knows that scientifically, Ivermectin saves lives. But moreover, she knows beyond any doubt that corruption has prevented Ivermectin from saving millions, caused untold suffering and horror, and a human economic toll of unimaginable proportions.
Out of this Pandemic have risen the true healers, those physicians who will be forever revered for risking their careers to save lives. When they could have remained silent and allowed the pandemic to take its course without rocking the boat, they chose to act.
Dr. George Fareed, Dr. Harvey Risch, and Dr. Peter McCullough traveled to the US Capitol and addressed the US Senate on November 19, 2020 and pleaded for the FDA and NIH to institute early outpatient treatment. They warned of the surge in deaths that would come. No answer. However, now during the current deadly second surge in India, on April 22, the Indian Council of Medical Research has just adopted Ivermectin and Budesonide for early outpatient therapy.
So why couldn’t the US have done the same and heed the advice of Fareed and others, and with the stroke of a pen in November accord Ivermectin Emergency Use Authorization? Fully 300,000 lives could have been saved.
These physicians are the pandemic humanitarians; to Dr. George Fareed, who stood up to Dr. Anthony Fauci; to Dr. Brian Tyson, who borrowed $250,000 in a personal loan to save the Imperial Valley; and to Dr. Harvey Risch, who risked his professorship at Yale to speak out; to Dr. Peter McCullough of Texas, who authored the first study on early outpatient treatment; to Dr. Pierre Kory, who put his career on the line, to Dr. Tess Lawrie, physician, humanitarian, and reformer, who is leading the path to victory over the pandemic, a beacon of hope for human rights and the conscience of medicine.”

Transcript of my lecture given at The Queen City Philosophical Society on 1/31/13
This is a copy of my lecture. It’s not word for word of what was discussed because the meetings tend to be in a discussion format, but this is what I used to lecture with and initiate discussion. Another thing to remember is that this forum is open to the public and not limited to active Masons, therefore the content is not exclusively Masonic. Also, due to my concerns of getting too abstract and not making sense to all persons present, I tried to keep it simple. Please feel free to contact me and discuss with me as you please.
- What is the most basic question of philosophy? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This is certainly the most basic question because it deals with paradox, and ultimately deals with how we describe God. And as the modern spiritual teacher Deepok Chopra says, “The measure of your enlightenment is your level of comfort with paradoxes.”
The question of the chicken and the egg is a trick question. Everything you see around you everyday was at first an idea. The clothes you are wearing, the chair you are sitting in. And as an idea only can it exist eternally. For once it is created and exists in the material world, it must perish. That is the nature of the material world.
So what does this paradox have to do with how we describe God? When asked what God is, the only thing we can do is describe his attributes. The outward manifestations.
“Substance” means: “that which underlies all outward manifestations; the essence; the essential reality; the thing in itself,” etc. “Substantial” means: “actually existing; being the essential element; being real,” etc. “Reality” means: “the state of being real; true, enduring; valid; fixed; permanent; actual,” etc. Under and behind all outward appearances or manifestations, there must always be a Substantial Reality. This is the Law. Man considering the Universe, of which he is a unit, sees nothing but change in matter, forces, and mental states. He sees that nothing really IS, but that everything is becoming and changing. Nothing stands still, everything is being born, growing, dying, the very instant a thing reaches its height, it begins to decline, the law of rhythm is in constant operation, there is no reality, enduring quality, fixity, or substantiality in anything. Nothing is permanent but Change. All things are evolving from other things, and resolving into other things. There is a constant action and reaction; inflow and outflow; building up and tearing down; creation and destruction; birth, growth and death. Nothing endures but Change. “And if he be a thinking man, he realizes that all of these changing things must be but outward appearances or manifestations of some Underlying Power — some Substantial Reality.” Modern science has shown us that Matter is more of a mystery than ever, and has decided to call it energy with something causing a differentiation in its manifestations. Marcus Antonious says “The nature of the universe delights not in anything so much as to alter all things, and present them under another form. this is her conceit to play one game and begin another. Matter is placed before her like a piece of wax and she shapes it to all forms and figures. Now she makes a bird, then out of a bird a beast, now a flower then a frog, and she is pleased with her own magical performances as men are with their fancies.” This is very similar to the Hindu worldview that describes the material world as clay which is always changing its shape. The number one law of thermodynamics says that energy cannot be created or destroyed. One of my favorite quotes is from Carl Sagan, when he is leaning up against a tree, and says something like “Me and this tree here, we are made of the same stuff.”
When we look in Genesis it says that light was created twice. Genesis 1:3 “And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Genesis 1:14 “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years”
All was in balance in Paradise, and this initial ‘agitation’, as I like to call it caused the differentiation between light and darkness, but was still an effect itself. Its also interesting to note that this ‘agitation’ is described as spoken word, implying vibration. “Light — the first mentioned in Genesis, is termed by the kabalists, Sephira, or the Divine Intelligence, the mother of all the Sephiroth, while the Concealed Wisdom is the father. Light is the first begotten, and the first emanation of the Supreme, and Light is Life, says the evangelist. Both are electricity — the life-principle, the anima mundi, pervading the universe, the electric vivifier of all things. Light is the great Protean magician, and under the Divine Will of the architect, its multifarious, omnipotent waves gave birth to every form as well as to every living being. From its swelling, electric bosom, springs matter and spirit. Within its beams lie the beginnings of all physical and chemical action, and of all cosmic and spiritual phenomena; it vitalizes and disorganizes; it gives life and produces death, and from its primordial point gradually emerged into existence the myriads of worlds, visible and invisible celestial bodies. It was at the ray of this First mother, one in three, that God, according to Plato, “lighted a fire, which we now call the sun,”** and, which is not the cause of either light or heat, but merely the focus, or, as we might say, the lens, by which the rays of the primordial light become materialized, are concentrated upon our solar system, and produce all the correlations of forces.”
Modern science is trying to figure out how matter created life. Ancient philosophy inculcates the doctrine that life created matter. The unknowable first cause is ultimately unknowable. But we can speculate on the effect of this cause, because we are a product of this cause. We can reflect on our place in this world. The modern convention is that the creation of the visible universe is the beginning of all existence, when logically it can only be an effect, not a cause.
Plato describes this universe with the allegory of the cave. In his work ‘The Republic’ the Greek philosopher uses the analogy to illustrate “our nature in its education and want of education.” In Plato’s fictional dialogue, Socrates begins by describing a scenario in which what people take to be real would in fact be an illusion. He asks Glaucon to imagine a cave inhabited by prisoners who have been chained and held immobile since childhood: not only are their legs (but not arms) held in place, but their necks are also fixed, so they are compelled to gaze at a wall in front of them. Behind the prisoners is an enormous fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway, along which people walk carrying things on their heads “including figures of men and animals made of wood, stone and other materials”. The prisoners cannot see the raised walkway or the people walking, but they watch the shadows cast by the men, not knowing they are shadows. There are also echoes off the wall from the noise produced from the walkway. Socrates suggests the prisoners would take the shadows to be real things and the echoes to be real sounds created by the shadows, not just reflections of reality, since they are all they had ever seen or heard. They would praise as clever, whoever could best guess which shadow would come next, as someone who understood the nature of the world, and the whole of their society would depend on the shadows on the wall. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. The Allegory may be related to Plato’s ‘Theory of Forms’, according to which the “Forms” (or “Ideas”), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. Only knowledge of the Forms constitutes real knowledge. This ‘Theory of Forms’ is in turn reminiscent of the theories propagated by Carl Jung, in which he coined the terms ‘Archetypes’ and ‘collective unconscious’.
Start to think about this world, not as a concrete, static, and linear existence, but as a dynamic, ever changing, pliable and cyclic existence. When we do this, our definition for God can, paradoxically, become very simple. He is The All. The human reason, whose reports we must accept so long as we think at all, informs us as follows regarding THE ALL:
1.) THE ALL must be ALL that REALLY IS. There can be nothing existing outside of THE ALL, else THE ALL would not be THE ALL.
2.)THE ALL must be INFINITE, for there is nothing else to define, confine, bound, limit or restrict THE ALL. It must be Infinite in Time, or ETERNAL, — it must have always continuously existed, for there is nothing else to have ever created it, and something can never evolve from nothing, and if it had ever “not been,” even for a moment, it would not “be” now, — it must continuously exist forever, for there is nothing to destroy it, and it can never “not-be,” even for a moment, because something can never become nothing. It must be Infinite in Space — it must be Everywhere, for there is no place outside of THE ALL — it cannot be otherwise than continuous in Space, without break, cessation, separation, or interruption, for there is nothing to break, separate, or interrupt its continuity, and nothing with which to “fill in the gaps.” It must be Infinite in Power, or Absolute, for there is nothing to limit, restrict, restrain, confine, disturb or condition it — it is subject to no other Power, for there is no other Power.
3.)THE ALL must be IMMUTABLE, or not subject to change in its real nature, for there is nothing to work changes upon it; nothing into which it could change, nor from which it could have changed. It cannot be added to nor subtracted from; increased nor diminished; nor become greater or lesser in any respect whatsoever. It must have always been, and must always remain, just what it is now — THE ALL — there has never been, is not now, and never will be, anything else into which it can change. “Matter forms the physical foundation for all forms. Is God merely Matter? No. Matter cannot manifest Life or Mind, and as Life and Mind are manifested in the Universe, The All cannot be Matter, for nothing rises higher than its own source. Then is God mere Energy or Force? Not Energy or Force as the materialists use the terms, for their energy and force are blind, mechanical things, devoid of Life or Mind. Life and Mind can never evolve from blind Energy or Force. God cannot be mere Energy or Force, for, if it were, then there would be no such things as Life and Mind in existence, and we know better than that, for we are Alive and using Mind to consider this very question, and so are those who claim that Energy or Force is Everything.”
The All is mind, and Mind is absolutely necessary for the manifestion of observable life, just as Matter is necessary, for it is the manifold in which The All can perceive action and reaction. Like previously said, the fact that we are alive, and able to ponder questions like these are enough proof that another world exists. And exist it does, even though it is hidden within this one.
Here is one of my favorite quotes: Blavatsky - “The infinite and uncreated spirit that we usually call GOD, a substance of the highest virtue and excellency, produced everything else by emanative causality. God thus is the primary substance, the rest, the secondary; if the former created matter with a power of moving itself, he, the primary substance, is still the cause of that motion as well as of the matter, and yet we rightly say that it is matter which moves itself. “We may define this kind of spirit we speak of to be a substance indiscernible, that can move itself, that can penetrate, contract, and dilate itself, and can also penetrate, move, and alter matter,”
Blavatsky - “The highest “head” contains the Trinity in Chaos, out of which springs the manifested trinity. En-Soph, the unrevealed forever, who is boundless and unconditioned, cannot create, and therefore it seems to us a great error to attribute to him a “creative thought,” as is commonly done by the interpreters. In every cosmogony this supreme Essence is passive; is boundless, infinite, and unconditioned, it can have no thought nor idea. It acts not as the result of volition, but in obedience to its own nature, and according to the fatality of the law of which it is itself the embodiment. Thus, with the Hebrew kabalists, En-Soph is non-existent , for it is incomprehensible to our finite intellects, and therefore cannot exist to our minds.”
En-soph can literally be translated to the ‘no-thing.’ Now, this is not, from my point of view, Atheistic. For the oldest philosophical and religious doctrines describe the Universe by creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing). But, there are misconceptions about the word ‘nothing’. First, we must establish what ‘nothing’ is. Everything in existence, at some point is formless, it is no-thing. existing only in Spirit. “the primitive substance is eternal and unchangeable. Its highest revelation is the pure, luminous ether, the boundless infinite space, not a void resulting from the absence of forms, but, on the contrary, the foundation of all forms, and anterior to them. But the very presence of forms denotes it to be the creation of Maya, and all her works are as nothing before the uncreated being, SPIRIT, in whose profound and sacred repose all motion must cease forever.” Spirit is nothing, for it cannot be said to exist. The Buddhist doctrine of annihilation illustrates beautifully: “Annihilation means, with the Buddhistical philosophy, only a dispersion of matter, in whatever form or semblance of form it may be; for everything that bears a shape was created, and thus must sooner or later perish, i.e., change that shape; therefore, as something temporary, though seeming to be permanent, it is but an illusion, Maya; for, as eternity has neither beginning nor end, the more or less prolonged duration of some particular form passes, as it were, like an instantaneous flash of lightning. Before we have the time to realize that we have seen it, it is gone and passed away for ever; hence, even our astral bodies, pure ether, are but illusions of matter, so long as they retain their terrestrial outline. The latter changes, says the Buddhist, according to the merits or demerits of the person during his lifetime, and this is metempsychosis. When the spiritual entity breaks loose for ever from every particle of matter, then only it enters upon the eternal and unchangeable Nirvana. He exists in spirit, in nothing; as a form, a shape, a semblance, he is completely annihilated, and thus will die no more, for spirit alone is no Maya, but the only REALITY in an illusionary universe of ever-passing forms.” In the Zohar, En-Soph is ‘the One, and the infinite Unity.’ But as I said, it is also called the ‘no-thing’. And this my friends is the ultimate paradox. God is everything and nothing at the same time. Everything is nothing with a twist.

People are scared, people are angry, the world is a frightening place right now. No one knows what the future holds. Everyone wants to believe that certain people are agents of darkness. But the Universe works in funny ways. Maybe the things taking shape right now is the catalyst for change, maybe it’s only way to bring down the old ways, maybe it’s the last hurrah of the old age of Pisces, the masculine energy of the past 2000 years. Maybe there is hope…. We need to keep fighting for the world we want to live in going forward, but we also can be mindful of what is happening right now, and that is the system is bringing itself down, in the only way that a system built on greed, power and masculine domination can, by an individual that is not only greedy for money, but is greedy for fame, greedy for attention, greedy for validation of his own worth and being, this man in a sense embodies everything to do with the dominating masculine energy of the past two thousand years, so it’s only fitting that his own greed for attention will be what finally destroys it all, so that something new can take it’s place. My vision for the new world is a nurturing, compassionate world where everyone is respected as people, not male and female or black or white or what they believe in, people are valued for who they are, not what they own. That the love inside them shines bright in their actions, that we heal all the rifts and pains that we as a people have placed upon each other because of our own insecurities. My vision is that love trumps hate. These are just my thoughts, you don’t have to agree, my only hope is that you keep an open mind about what is happening right now, and that, if possible, you can hold this vision with me, so that we can manifest this together, which lets be honest, the only way that it will happen at all is that we all come together.
