112 Amo Amass A-Muse - Lodge of the Nine Muses

It is more awe inspiring to realise that these words were first written down over two
thousand five hundred years ago by those who had not the remotest idea of Nature or
Science as we know it. Moreover, what they wrote down was based on oral tradition,
going perhaps as far back as six thousand years. It is as if their predecessors had been taken
to a Cinema and shown how GOD created the Universe; what they saw, but could not
understand, they handed crown by word of mouth until in a later generation they learnt
to record it. And so, we now have the First Chapter of Genesis. This comparison, I believe,
to be more than chance.
It says in the Old Testament that the Jews are GOD’s chosen people. This may well be so
for despite persecutions and dispersal throughout the ages, they still exist as a distinct race.
We are all free to do as we may in this world yet it is surprising how often the course of
history has been influenced by a Jew, not always in the way we might expect. To select just
a few starting with Jesus Christ, there was Christopher Columbus, a Genoese Jew fleeing
from persecution, who discovered America; Disraeli and the Suez Canal Shares, Karl Marx
and the Communists and now Einstein, the famous mathematician, whose theories have
advanced Science to its present state, ALL JEWS. GOD moves in a mysterious way.
It is not possible to understand the infinite power and purpose of GOD. Yet, surely we
do observe it in everything and we ought not to deny it.
In 1975, Sir Bernard Lovell, the great Astronomer, warned his fellow Scientists against
over-concern with the materialistic results of research because they might soon uncover
immensities too great for comprehension or control. He therefore considered that there
was little point in man restlessly probing space, unless he first probed himself.
In a self-probe, we might discover the warmth and understanding that supports us
when we fail and the uplifting of the spirit by the propagation of true happiness. Surely,
these things are as important in our daily life as they are in our Freemasonry?
