Part 2: What, In The Universe, Is Esoteric Tiling?
(or How The Exoteric-Apprentice-Tiler Becomes The Esoteric-Master-Tiler)
by Fratre Gerard T. Lyle Jr, (Tom) IV  SRICF AZ College

My brothers, in Part 1 we explored some stepping stones by which the Exoteric-Apprentice-Tiler could progress to the Esoteric-Master-Tiler. This included the subtle, Masonic-Sequence with its magnificent use of that which was lost. We will now explore two more stepping stones: one that is very close to us, and one that works with our joy. 
	First, we will focus on a process which everyone who is awake and aware engages in. Master Masons will not be surprised to learn that our greatest gift is also our greatest challenge through which we create the vicissitudes of life. Yes, Mankind's reaping is directly proportional to Mankind's sowing. Most of us have heard this many times in many ways. The bottom line is how we use this gift of our Free-Will.  The Master Mason has transformed his Free-Will into Good-Will. Our Challenge now is to transform our Good-Will into the Better-Will of the Master-Esoteric-Tiler.
	One of the most useful approaches to the concept of Free-Will, that I have been introduced to, grown to greatly appreciate, and often use, is that of my personal response. Yes, personal response. Many years ago, a very old and irreplaceable friend, explained to me that my response to what the world presents to me determines the quality of my future. This brings us to our first beautiful question.

How Does The World Present Things To Me (To My Consciousness)?

	There is nothing magical here. We take information in through our five senses. We hear, see, taste, smell and touch. Our experiences (the contents of our consciousness) are made up of what we have perceived through our five senses. The intuition uses the familiar and appropriate content of our consciousness to overlay a message from within. That's fairly basic isn't it? The only challenge here is inaccurate perceptions. 
	Uncorrected vision or hearing would produce inaccurate perceptions. If one forgot his glasses or his hearing aid battery went dead, his perceptions would be adversely affected. If he were in pain, or coming down with the flu, most likely he could, to a degree, misperceive. Other sources of inaccuracy are being in a hurry, alcohol and drugs, or getting distracted. All of these misperceptions and more go into our memory banks. And yes, they adversely affect our level of discernment. 
	It is a truism that if we are awake and aware, then we are always responding to what the world presents to us. If we added the responses of everyone throughout their conscious lifetime(s), then these responses would give birth to what the world calls the vicissitudes of Life. In other words the quality of our response is the quality of the seed we are sowing. The question then becomes:

 What Is Meant By The Quality Of Response?
 
Is it an angry response? If so,  how angry and for how long? Yes, intensity and time factor into the response as well as the thought, feeling and action. Is it a response of Gratitude? Again, how intense and for how long? Two general types of responses (subtle or not subtle) come to mind -- positive responses and negative responses, But, if we are awake and aware, then no matter if they are positive or negative, we always respond to what the world presents to our consciousness. Is it a positive response? How positive is it, and to what degree? Is it a negative response? If so, how negative: to what degree? There are countless degrees of individual responses. Positive responses abound, such as compassion, tolerance, and brotherly love, as do negative types such as greed, unrestrained desire for power, and hate. Depending on how busy a day, whether we are working, retired, at a ball game, driving a vehicle, or at a party,  we may have hundreds of responses per day.  This leads us into our next beautiful question.

Do Our Responses Make Us The Architect Of Our Personal Future?
	
Our "taking in" was a gathering of information from the world through our five senses. Although we may have had filters (those rose colored glasses) at the time of our "taking-in", once in they go towards the making up of the contents of our consciousness. In short they were the function of our awareness and discernment (seeing differences). We enter into moral and ethical considerations through our response to what we have "taken-in". In short our response is our area of choice -- our sowing of our responses into our garden of life, which may well affect many others in the world. Personally I see much room for improvement in my Tiling, for I desire far more happiness, far less pain and far greater service. 
	To the best of my understanding, no one knows (or no one who does know is telling) the mystery of the precise spiritual/psychic mechanics of how a thought actually becomes a seed in the garden of life. In other words we are still unknowing of the mystery of creation.Therefore the Exoteric-Apprentice-Tiler aspiring to become the Esoteric-Master-Tiler focuses his efforts on increasing the quality of his responses, hoping that upon achievement he will be allowed greater understanding in order to be of greater service.
	My brothers, whether it is a bridge, a roller-coaster, a candy bar, or a space station, if we trace its construction back far enough we will find blueprints (plans). Trace those plans back far enough and you will find a person thinking the first thought about that particular bridge, roller-coaster, candy bar or space station. Yes, Disneyland was first of all a thought in Walt Disney's mind before it became a buy a ticket and go for a ride in Southern California. The process is called manifestation. It is not a rare occurance. It happens far more than frequently, and it is extant in the world. The bottom line here is that thoughts become things. This brings up an uneasy, perhaps chilling question. 

Do All Thoughts Manifest? 

With a little imagination, it is easy to understand why most of us do not want to think about all of our thoughts manifesting. Surely we would not have thought a large percentage of the thoughts we have indeed dwelled upon if we felt they would manifest. Yet the Law of Compensation has been around for a very long time. The ancient wise ones called it Karma. The Christ described it in a farming metaphor, familiar to his listeners, as a reaping of what was sowed. The computer world has come up with the now familiar saying of GIGO (garbage in - garbage out). It is often expressed in the general understanding that what goes around comes around. It is interesting to note that volumes can be written about the process of manifestation, yet these descriptions contain one word or one short phrase or sentence, so easy to remember and pass along.  
	Our purpose here is not to probe the science of manifestation and all its hows and whys (both obvious and subtle). Our purpose is to explore how the good man learns about the Law and functions accordingly in order to become a better man. In short the goal is to transmute our Good-Will into a Better-Will. This is now a good time to ask an illuminating question.

What Is Meant By The Will?

If we accept (what dictionaries suggest) that our will is our dominant desire, then it is an easy step to see that we are responding to what the world presents to us with our dominant desire (our will). The vicissitudes of life are caused by Man's collective responses to what the world has presented to him. Therefore the quality of our response is critical and constitutes the harmony (or disharmony) of the world. Another beautiful question now arises.

 How Can We Increase The Quality Of Our Dominant Desire (Our Will)?

	My brothers, the Great Architect and His helpers (the Hierarchy of Light) have many branches. It is like a large university, which contains within it many colleges, such as the College of Medicine, the College of Science, the College of Liberal Arts, and the College of  Engineering. The Hierarchy of Light has many schools of thought in as many cultures, that emphasize in one way or another the transformation of Free-Will to Good-Will.
	The Buddha declared that suffering (Dukka) is caused by desire. He shared that suffering can be stopped by stopping desire. Nirvana means the blowing out of the candle of desire. This nirvana can be accomplished by the Eight Fold Noble Path which is: Right Understanding, Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. So the quality of our will (dominant desire) is the cause of our suffering (pain), and most people want to get out of pain. Theoretically nirvana is the goal, but that is not accomplished in a weekend, so the prudence of the Eightfold Noble Path, in effect, becomes the training of the will (dominant desire) to become a good will, which causes considerably less pain. The Buddha chose suffering as a familiar jumping off point to share a helpful understanding to all who would embrace it.
	In the Chinese culture we find another example of service to humanity.  The Plum Blossom is the national flower of China. The Plum Tree provides the physical structure upon which a philosophy is overlaid that emphasises fortitude. The courage of the Plum Tree to blossom in the Chinese late winter is related to the Chinese Gentleman who puts forth his best during adversity. Pythagoras and Spinosa emphasized numbers and geometry. The Rosicrucian Order A.M.O.R.C. emphasizes the Mastery of Life through knowledge and experience. Agni Yoga emphasizes quality thought through the focus of Beauty and its resultant joy. Some of the Yogas such as Raja Yoga emphasize the spiritual centers called Chakras, which the Caballa calls Sephiroth. The Christ emphasized love. Moses brought the Ten Commandments. There are many Paths in the Hierarchy of Light, all of which are available to man to transform his Free-Will into Good-Will. The different focal points of these Paths attract those whose needs gravitate to the Path which can best satisfy them. As they say, birds of a feather flock together. This essay is not intended to be a thorough comparison of religious and or philosophical thought. Rather it is a pointing out of the cause of the vicissitudes of life (and the chaos they create) with respect to a world un-knowing of the highly prudent value of Esoteric-Tiling through experiential knowledge.
	Since the goal involves experiential knowledge, obviously it cannot be realistically achieved in a weekend seminar (no matter how much it costs). Perhaps this is why the transformaion of the Will (dominant desire) is referred to as the Path, the Way, and the Road. It implies a traveling to achieve. This traveling from a Free-Will to a Good-Will needs much experience: perhaps as many experiences as there are stones in the Great Wall of China. How else will we know if we have achieved the goal if we are not allowed to gradually practice our quality increase as a testing of our progress. Experience is the teacher. The manifestation of the personal vicissitudes in the student's life are the Teacher's talking points: those intentional and/or unintentiuonal misuses of the student's Free-Will (and the pain they cause the student and others). My brothers, with a little contemplation most Master Masons can appreciate the tremendous variety of responses available. These are enhanced, as well as complicated  by moods, attitudes, and preferences, as well as Earthly, and socio-political events. But wait, tighten your apron, there is more, significantly more.

How Will The Master Mason Respond In The Future, 
To The Responses He Has Sown In The Past?

	My brothers, I hope you are listening very carefully, because the next few paragraphs could rescue you from years of pain. For most people, the harvesting of negative responses sown in the past creates serious confusion accompanied by upset. Yes, this response in itself, of confusion and upset, to past sown negative responses will be yet another seed to be harvested in the more distant future. But just what is the problem (or challenge)? Why is there so much confusion?
	Our future is the area of life where we are harvesting the fruits from seeds which we most likely have forgotten that we chose to plant through our past responses. Because of this forgetting, we usually get the feeling that the fruit which we are harvesting (especially if it is bitter fruit) is something which we do not deserve. In short our sense of justice (corrupted by our forgetting) kicks in and says, "Hold on. I'm innocent! This feeling of being innocent, based on forgetting what we have sown in the past, and manifesting now in upset, is an area that can easily distract the aspiring Esoteric-Apprentice-Tiler from his duties. This confusion and upset is multiplied many times over if he has not embraced the concept of Reincarnation, for many think they only come this way once, which does not address seeds planted incarnations ago. It is no wonder his sense of injustice is aroused.
	Even with Reincarnation put aside, it is a great challenge to understand that we planted a response in our past, even if we do not remember planting it. How can this be? How can we not remember our sowing of this seed? That my friends is very, very, very easy to do. First, depending on age, it could have been a response-seed from decades ago. It could have been one of those hundreds of response-seeds in just one busy day. It may also have been a specific independent response (decision) within a general response. Now what in the universe does that mean?

What Is A Response Within A Response? 

	With a little imagination, it is not hard to picture a manager having a very, very, very bad day, (coming down with the flu), and angry that some things, which he is solely responsible for, are not going well. He may make many decisions in anger, or in the mental fog of the flu, or both, then later, when the anger subsides and he recovers from the flu, he does not remember making those decisions due to the nature of anger and the flu. This could also occur if he had too much alcohol at a business lunch, or he became greatly distracted by his response to a larger than life event going on in the world while he was making daily decisions. Months later these decisions were being acted on in his business and were having their cause and effect ramifications throughout the company (or family). Because of the many busy days with their hundreds of responses, we tend to forget days which happened months, years, and decades ago. So there is a common response of innocence many times when we do not know our part in the cause which created the effect (harvest) which we are now reaping. 
	So our future reaping can be, and often is, confusing. But wait, it gets even more interesting. Because of this confusion and our response to this confusion (which just may include an upset due to our thinking that we are innocent and do not deserve such a harvest), we may also be making other responses  that are adversely affected by our general response of the "unjust event" in our life. Depending on the assumed injustice, the confusion, with its accompanying pain, could continue for days, weeks, months, and yes years, during which we continue to countlessly respond through the filter of an unjust feeling, to what the world presents to us. 
	Does it ever get better? It could, but that would necessitate us being more accurate with the taking-in of our perceptions, having higher quality responses to our perceptions, and a firm understanding of the processes in order to facilitate tolerance of what is truly happening. This would help us to remain calm during our harvesting. One thing is for sure, it won't happen without a great deal of practice. If we thought this practice of prefecting was just too hard to achieve, then we would give up and continue in our usual confused reaping, blaming others, or God, for an unfair existence, forgetting that our personal sorrow stems from our personal misuse (intentional or un-intentional) of our personal Free-Will. My brothers, "Man know thyself." is an ancient admonition that is fairly well known today in mystic circles. With respect to what has been just shared, it may be prudent to add that this knowing of Self be done as calmly as possible. 
	The Master Mason as the striving Apprentice-Esoteric-Tiler, is continually transforming his Good-Will into the Better-Will of the Master-Esoteric-Tiler. We do this through the subtleties of our Freemasonic rough and rugged road, where we are observed in our personal uses of our working tools. Our Freemasonic way out of pain is different than most of the other Paths, because it starts with a good man who has demonstrated previous progress through his behavior in the world (his responses to what the world has presented to him). 
	This level of Goodness is demanded as a prerequisite to enter the school of Freemasonry. Two good men (Master Masons) must verify this by signing his petition. He must pass a personal preliminary examination in his own home by a Masonic Lodge visiting committee. This committee then reports back to the Lodge. He must then pass the exam of the Grand Lodge background check. Then he must have the unanimous vote of all the Master Masons present. If all these tests are passed, he is allowed to begin his Masonic journey to transform his Good-Will into the Better-Will of the Master-Esoteric-Tiler. It will not be easy, but he will have the company and the encouragement of his lodge brothers as well as the Great Architect and His helpers -- the Hierarchy of Light. Perhaps, my brothers, you have heard of the statement of readiness which lingers in mystic circles: that, "When the student is ready, the Master will Appear". Let us now ask a beautiful (and perhaps a most significantly joyful) question. When will our Apprentice-Esoteric-Tiler be ready?

When Will The Apprentice-Esoteric-Tiler Graduate? 

"... the Great Tachers29, who guard the world, who direct the universal processes toward good ends and who participate in gigantic cosmic battles, can accept only those in whom They have no longer any doubt. Only those can be accepted who have gone through many fiery [psychic] tests and have proved their readiness and devotion, not in comfortable environments but on the edge of the abyss; hence, the small number of accepted disciples." This idea of proving readiness is shared toward the end of the third  degree with the introduction of our Rough and Rugged road, and esoterically transitions that moment into the Hiram play. Intense striving and strong devotion are absolutely necessary for success. As we have heard before, "Many are called but few are chosen." You may have also heard that the best is saved for the last. Well the last stepping stone we are about to discuss, may not, in the light of the other stepping stones, be the best, but it certainly is, and will be, the most uplifting. Now what in the universe does that mean?
	My brothers, our next stepping stone for the Master Tiler to Tile his personal (as well as Masonic) temple is the way of Beauty. Yes Beauty, one of the three pillars of Fremasonry (Wisdom, Strength and Beauty). This stepping stone works physiologically well. It also satisfies a very serious challenge to the traveler on the Path, which is that the Path is long (incarnations long) and because of the vicissiudes of life as well as personal and group karma, the traveller needs a way to maintain his joy. Joy is introduced in the Blue Lodge and emphasized in other areas of Freemasonry. This very natural way is basically, yet most Esoterically described in the many books of the Agni Yoga Teachings (also called the Path of Beauty, the path closest to perfection), some of which are briefly paraphrased here, and later quoted and incorporated into a Q&A for our greater understanding. Let us now ask an Esoteric-Tiler's must-know question which will lead us to his absolutely must-know answer.

What Are Man's Two Sources Of Joy?

	My brothers, in paragraph number 85 of the Agni Yoga book entitled "Brotherhood", we read that, "People have only two real joys - - thinking and the ecstasy over beauty." When striving toward the illumination of joy (which is a synonym for happiness), we must remind ourselves of the Law of Beauty, which states that beauty leads to joy. The very high vibrations of joy makes joy a shield which blocks out the vibrations of low intent. This creates the Tiled space for us to contemplate, meditate, pray, and ask the Great Architect and his helpers for guidance. Thus the Law of Beauty is quite naturally a basic formula for the Exoteric-Apprentice-Tiler, as well as the Esoteric-Master-Tiler. Agni yoga shares that when a person perceives or thinks of something which is beautiful to him (not necessarily to anyone else) then he will experience a feeling of joy (happiness). It is a physiological reaction, like the automatic reflex of the knee when the doctor strikes it with an instrument.  
	The bible also emphasises this joy as follows. "Be joyful always27." Notice it doesn't say be joyful sometimes, or when you feel like it, or when you, or others, or the world think it is approapriate, or when you hit the lottery and are on a super vacation, in a super place, with super companions. It simply says be joyful always. Truly, "... joy is a special wisdom28."
	My brothers, patience remembers that our sun still shines at night. No darkness of mood ever conquered the Light of striving. There can be no happiness (joy) without beautiful thoughts. "Through beauty we conquer" is a phrase coined by Nicholas Roerich, the husband of Helena Roerich. He painted over 6000 paintings, wrote several books and formed art groups. The following, although not by him, explains his statement, why we conquer through beauty.
	From the Agni Yoga book "Sumermundane 1", numbered paragraph 135, we read that, “Thoughts about the beautiful lead to the Teacher. Even in the most difficult hours thoughts about the beautiful will create the best bridge to brotherhood. Thoughts should be directed to the beautiful as a salutary medicine. People do not understand what a powerful remedy has been given to them, and they prefer to complain, feel discontent, and weep, not understanding that such ways only limit the best possibilities. Amidst the most grievous struggles, remember the beautiful. It can be a panacea for the heart of the toiler. Everyone has his dangers and sorrows, but it is a joy to know that there is the one protecting remedy for all". And lastly my brothers, remembering that questions can be door openers to illumination, let us close with a question and answer session on beauty and joy as follows, for we do our best when our hearts are filled with joy (happiness).
