Not being a gateway means it's not a gateway. There are no 'spiritual implications' to trying to better yourself like that.


>Because each person knows only what's best for himself.
Wrong, my myopic friend.

What if I know what's best for you? Will you comply? How will we decide who knows better? And who has the best intention? Who's being genuine and who's being fake about it? Do you trust politicians? Do you trust lawyers? Are you fucking retarded?

>How will we decide who knows better? And who has the best intention?
Critical thinking. Do you think children know what's best for them rather than their parents?


>in what way are you bettering yourself? 
Developing assorted skills (memory, leadership, even mathematics). Promoting introspection.
>Can't you do it without freemasonry?
Yes, absolutely. You can also learn to tie knots without joining the Scouts, but it's still a good way to do it. But no one will ever say you have to join Freemasonry to do x or y.
>whatever you are binding yourself to
Which is what? Sounds like you don't understand ritual, and think it only applies to some Harry Potter magic shit.

Oh boy, that's the most uncharitable rendering of what I said. I perfectly understand ritual, my dude, I have dabbled in witchcraft and occultism before, freemasonry is organized sorcery and it's not hard to recognize. Harry Potter shit doesn't need to happen for a ritual to have power, do you understand? It will look like a mundane little excerice to your materialistic eyes. I'd say freemasons are worse off than individual witches, because their cult-like organization overrides the individual decision-making process and their members don't even know wtf they're doing exactly. All Satan needs is a little oath sworn in a ritual you don't fully understand for him to open a portal in your life. 
You clearly underestimate the nature of evil spirits, they are extremely cunning. I don't blame you though, I used to underestimate them too. In a way, I'm glad that the Enemy send me one hell of a spiritual warfare, as I can use that experience to warn and educate others. Literally every place, church, building, neighborhood, landmark has spirits, they are cohabiting in a plane of reality unseen to the senses, but their presence can be discerned by the Holy Spirit. 

I was able to discern what spirits were troubling me without seeing them physically, although I can see flashes of them when they go through people. I can regonize the type of spirit and observe it operating through people and shaping what they say. In a way, I 'see' it, but it's not exactly a physical seeing, more something like a high-level pattern recognition. It's an anointing from God, I guess. I was having visions of spirits I didn't even know what they were, until I did my research and found that Christians sources have already been talking about this. So I wasn't biased, coming from a totally different background, dabbling in this and that.

Pick one, retard. You wiccans are the worst for thinking everyone subscribes to your modern fanfics.
