  • 2011 Commission Report
    2011 Commission Report BAJA CALIFORNIA The two groups representing the Grand Lodge of Baja California have now worked out an agreement that has unified them again into one regular Grand Lodge. The leaders of the two groups have signed the agreement, and have assured it will be ratified by both groups. The Grand Lodge of Baja California has now satisfied the standards for recognition. BULGARIA There continues to be no progress in the unification of Freemasonry in Bulgaria. Since they have previously been determined to meet the standards for recognition, there is no interest on the part of the United Grand Lodge of Bulgaria in entering discussions with the Grand Lodge AF&AM of Bulgaria, either for unification or for establishing a treaty to share the jurisdiction. Both of these Grand Lodges appear to practice regular Masonry, and both were of the same origin until they split in 2001. This Commission has urged the two Grand Lodges to resolve their differences for the past seven years to no avail; therefore this issue will not be addressed again until the brethren in Bulgaria reach some type of agreement. CYPRUS The United Grand Lodge of England and the Grand Lodge of Cyprus have reached an accord whereby they will both share the jurisdiction of Cyprus, and have established fraternal relations among themselves. The Grand Lodge of Cyprus therefore now meets all the standards for recognition. CZECH REPUBLIC The Grand Lodge of the Czech Republic informed us that an irregular body calling itself the Czech National Grand Lodge was recently created by a group of dissident members who defected and formed this new organization.

  • Seng Wei Was Indoctrinated in the Electronic Dance Music Scene Whilst Still a Student in University in L.A
    Bio: Seng Wei was indoctrinated in the electronic dance music scene whilst still a student in university in L.A. Since graduating and returning to Singapore in late 2003, he started DJing as a hobby. Gradually, Seng Wei's devotion and passion for the electronic music scene escalated into something more as he gained experience playing out at clubs and various outdoor events. He bought his first proper dance compilation back in 99’- Clubber’s guide to Trance by ATB, which was an influential moment that saw Seng Wei branch out and start to discover other styles of dance music such as House. Seng Wei's style is deep, funky and progressive house with an infusion of tech and organic elements. Although his musical tastes are always changing; he presently is playing a lot more of the nu-disco and deep tech house sound with a touch of electro thrown in there for good measure, which is diversified and incorporated into his sets. He transcends any boundaries between the different genres of music, and really knows how to move the floor. As a DJ, he draws influences from all types of music from jazz and classical, to rock and electro and combines these different elements into his set. He believes that since music seems to be evolving all the time, the oxymoron of the new/old music (The retro/electro music of the 70s and 80s, along with the revival of jazz and classical music) is especially evident in the 21st century today and will continue to have an effect on the ever changing dance music scene in the years to come.

  • SECRETS and OATHS Freemasonry in Finnish Society and Public Record 1756–1996
    SUMMARY SECRETS AND OATHS Freemasonry in Finnish Society and Public Record 1756–1996 Freemasonry, as defined in this work, is the teaching of a way of life based upon traditions found within the ancient builder’s guilds. As a prerequisite for membership it requires a belief in Deity and strives to provide spiritual building elements for men who are interested in self-development. Freemasonry uses old ceremonies and rituals as a means of teaching and attempts to maintain their effectiveness by keeping them secret. Builder’s guilds or operative lodges with a mixed membership consisting of both professional builders and other individuals have existed with certainty within the British Isles from the year 1600. Developing from these communities were the speculative lodges in which discussions were held regarding subjects relating to the building profession as well as issues relating to man’s develop- ment and at the same time endeavoring to practice charitable work. In 1717 a Grand Lodge was founded in London which sanctioned a Presbyterian priest, Father James Anderson, to undertake the task of preparing a constitution based on rules, regulations and ethical guidelines of the ancient building guilds. The Anderson Constitution was published in 1723 though the backing of theology doctor Theofilus Desagulier, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of London. This created the basic concept of a moral-philosophical architecture on which to build. Since 1686 Freemasonry has off and on been accused and deemed respon- sible for conspiracies and plots against governments as well as being anti-Christ and hostile to the church. We can say that already at its birth, the cradle of Freemasonry was rocked hard.
