Extreme Radio & Internet Marketing PortalInternet Evolution's Recycle Bin For The Insane

This to Shall Pass.. Everyone knows that I am a avid Freemason and have no qualms about displaying my Square and compass with pride. Well for past months while studying Internet Marketing more and more. My final journey was to re-visit PPC and CPA. Pay Per Click cost me about 200.00 in a day once. (Seriously)

I lost that within hours not knowing what I was doing. I decided to learn more about this and why I failed. (I really hate to fail!) So in past couple of months a ton of crap was shifting around and a ton of planets must of not been lining up for me. I decided to continue my studies and test some theories of internet marketing as you can see below on some of my Zhu Zhu auto posts. I decided to finish up some of my campaigns on several niches and really focus on what I enjoy and that is helping people and relax.

As soon as I got my mind straight right, my fulltime job threw a curve ball at me and announced they were getting bought out. This was huge because I could possibly lose my job of 10 years and a ton of things clouded my mind to the point of worrying about things that has not even come into fruition.

Then something hit me like a mack truck, I was studying King Solomon after reading Dan Browns New book “The Lost Symbol”.

Freemasonry uses their lodge and a ton of allegories and symbols from the days of King Solomon. (Which if you have never really studied King Solomon and you are interested in history, Google him! Freaking Amazing stories!) Which I ran across a Wikipedia reference above call “This too shall Pass.” This is such a powerful statement!!! It made me realize to focus on the right things!

Well here is the link to the story behind this phrase.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_too_shall_pass I never knew this was related to King Solomon. But it applied to me and my current situation in life. I have been struggling with a ton of thing online and offline with my business ventures and my current job and decided to focus on one thing and that was helping others with my passion.

After I changed that mind set I realized that this was what had to change. Once I decided to actually change that things are actually starting to come back into the picture. That I should quit scrambling around and just focus on helping others and everything else will come in to play. So that is what I am doing now. I will do nothing but give away the best content or information possible to my readers and listeners on all my blogs and just be me.

This is what I like to do!

Helping others succeed in life no matter what the situation.

This to shall pass. Live your life like there is no tomorrow.

So in the same token one of my internet marketing friends that I follow a guy by the name of Matt Trainer did a post to about exactly what I am thinking right now.  And is doing a cool 3 part series. I thought would be kind of cool to keep up with and of course is free.

That being said I am starting to finish up my first ebook that I will be giving away to people on my email list but also will charge a dollar for people who don’t want emails. It will step you through a 10 day plan that will make you money. I called the Ebook “Recession Buster” it will be a part of my Cash Flow Ninja series.  You will make something. I promise. Also I will be posting my studies in ancient history and other fun stuff here to. So start reading I promise you will not be disappointed.

I helped one of my co-workers make about $3000.00 using some of my techniques online and offline.  Here is his testimonial

It seems during the economy that more and more people are trying to make money off of Freemasonry. Don’t get me wrong… I don’t mind Masonry in the spot light sometimes especially with Dan Brown’s new book “The Symbol”.

During these rough economic times people are willing to jump on anything that they think will make them some cash. We had instance in the State of South Carolina where a brother was trying to make money off of selling certain materials that were out of copyright, that were printed in the 1800’s. Once confronted the so called brother turned in his dues card. Even to this day, he is trying to sell this material.

Not only is publicity good for the craft, but just how people go on reality shows and get instant fame or win the lottery to have their lives ruined shortly after this can be so with the craft. There will probably be more reports like this one http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/temple-terrace-police-find-burned-bible-on-alter-in-masonic-lodge-arrest/1038176

Also, there has been a increase on Web “DDOS” attacks or Distributed Denial Of Service Attacks on Masonic websites. This is where hackers will use a army of computers to massively send tons of data traffic to a web server hosting the page and “knock” the site offline. The server just can’t handle the amount of traffic hitting the page.

Or some find vulnerabilities in there code to gain access and deface the page.

So publicity does come with a price. Brethren and Future Brethren, please check yourself and subdue your passions to making a extra buck or revealing too much to media for a extra dollar.

No… Masons do not have some secret treasure that can be spent, we all don’t have Mansions and nice cars.

The only true treasure that Masons have is it’s teachings and brotherly love for light being spread everywhere and assisting others trying to make this turbulent ever changing world a better place with sharing love.

Love and Light,

PS. I haven’t read Dan Brown’s “The Symbol” yet, but I heard it is a interesting read and does not really make Freemasonry look like the same ole New World Order Devil worshipers like other movies and publications do.

I am meeting more and more masons from around the world and the United States. Recently, I read a article in the Knight Templar about the decline of masonry and how many lodges are closing. It seems that the lack of focus on work and other equations were mention. Sometimes it makes me wonder if it is more than just numbers. Is there something missing?

In York Rite, I have heard a lot of the degree work used to be memorized instead of read out loud. It seems that maybe work is deteriorated along the years. The importance of learning not only the blue lodge work but other work seems to be lack of.

This has really gotten me to the point of wanting to learn everything in the blue lodge and extend that to my York Rite as well. I don’t want to be a “card carrying mason” I am proud to say I am a Freemason even wear my ring and put the decal on my card. I have noticed that since I have become a mason that there are some people at work including my manager use me at the butt of their jokes.

Why is there so much animosity towards Freemasons? I really don’t get it these days. I hope that Freemasonry will not decline and that the article if way dead off in the Knights Templar magazine. I will govern myself accordingly and keep on keeping on for the search for more light. I hope you all will do the same.

I received the following news from one of our districts.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution has picked up the story, and it is now spreading through the Associated Press.

In short, Gates City Lodge in Atlanta raised a military veteran earlier this year, who was black. Two other lodges filed masonic charges against Gates Lodge, accusing them of un-masonic conduct and violating the landmarks of freemasonry for raising a non-white man. The Grand Lodge apparently allowed the charges to stand and scheduled a trial.

Gates Lodge filed suit on June 19, in the Superior Court of DeKalb County, asking for an injunction to stop the trial, among other matters. The case is pending.

There is plenty of additional information on the internet, available by a Google search.

According to most bylaws there is nothing to stop a black man from joining a regular non Prince Hall lodge except the disrupting harmony clause that would be applied to anyone thought to cause a disruption. I will look forward to see how government will intervene on this one

I am wanting to get this out to others to report on a Shriners Hospital possibly closing in Greenville Sc due to budget cuts.

I am helping out on Facebook trying to get a Fundraiser going http://profile.to/shanehale . If you have yet become my friend add me and just put in the message Freemason.

As you all know earlier posts my daughter had to go to this Shriners Hospital in Greenville SC and it was a blessing to us. I encourage everyone to help save Shriners Hospitals from closing.

Picture above was at the Scottish Rite Center/Lodge in Nassau Bahamas
Top of the Year and the rent must be paid. A discussion was talked about at an instructional meeting and something that I would like to stress to all the brothers out there.

During these economic hard times we as brothers need to followup with the responsibility to call other brothers to ensure their welfare is ok Don’t be too quick on marking members MPD when it comes to dues.

There was a case where a brother had Alstheimers and was not capable of paying them. No one knew that he had this condition with out calling.

If you have the extra time and money help a brother or just call one that you haven’t heard from in a while.

Until next time… Been pretty much studying the whole process of things in the watchful steward position. The more I watch the more amazed I am with Freemasonry.

Why internet marketing? It is automated all you need is Do work!  Had to post this because it explains Internet marketing the best way possible. All you need to do is work. One time… But you have to do it right the first time and that is where I will show you how. Get ready for 3rd lesson coming up this week!!

Today brings a new administration, and a new perspective on the problems facing our nation. I wish President Obama all the best wishes in guiding this country of ours thru the perilous times ahead, and we should all help him, and to do whats best to preserve the rights and liberties of all men and women of our nation.

With this being said, the excerpt below is from the article titled, “Personal Integrity” by Sir Knight Clayton J. Borne III in the January 2009 issue of Knight Templar magazine which seems to sum it all up nicely.

“Masonic Ideals:

As we strive to cultivate integrity in our personal lives and collectively in our spiritual brotherhood, our efforts meet with constant resistance. As appauling as it may be, society today is a reflection of disrespect, an unappreciative and uncaring disease that migrates into all aspects of our culture. The cure as with all other social problems is education.

The Masonic ideals and their influence on society thru the ages have been exerted in no better or more nobler purpose than the ageless struggle by the Brotherhood for “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity” and ultimately a secure freedom for society. Our Fraternity thru the ages has been the champion of oppressed people with the object being the emancipation of mankind from every form of tyranny. Within our lodges, liberty or freedom, especially in thought was freely encouraged. That freedom, based on these principles, made possible the natural progression of a transformed life.

The humanist philosophy so prevalent in society poses obstructions to our Masonic ideals. The basic concept of Liberty has always had an aggressive enemy. It is the self-centered concept of entitlement. The entitlement belief is the direct result of the modernist doctrine that there is no rational basis for values. Despite our Masonic brotherhood’s continued efforts to promote integrity, the value system of society has been erroded. Many of society’s values become problematic; in other words, nothing is truely good or bad. It’s all a matter of opinion. We must ask then, how and why have principles? Do as you please or whatever you can rationalize as being right. Without the Liberty to choose our own actions and make our own choices, we lose the qualities that make us uniquely human. It is only when people do the right thing freely that we can have confidence in their character. If they act out of principles such as truth, benevolence, and productiveness as taught in our lodges, then we know that their actions result from good character and the principle of liberty is preserved.”

After reading this excellent article from our Knight Templar magazine, I can’t help but think of the direction our nation and the mindset of it’s people will be going. When thinking of our charities as a Brotherhood given freely, and others that would be hampered by those “charities” or “patriotic duties” to be mandated by laws. Many in our country want to turn a blind eye to this, and to our dire financial realities. President Obama and others of his ilk want to lead the charge by promising to deliver more things to more people, at taxpayer expense, and dig us into an ever deeper hole. There simply is no way to pay for it all without dramatically raising taxes on all the productive citizens and businesses in this country. If the Obamas of this country have their way, government will grow, entitlements will grow, our deficit will grow, and the tax increases needed to support it all will stifle any potential growth of our economy.

Have you ever dug yourself out of financial hole? If you are honest, you will admit digging out meant working more, saving, spending less, and generally living within your means. I seriously doubt most of us would consider borrowing more, or taking from others to be the solution. Why should we support representatives and a government in Washington that would behave any other way. The language of hope and change is nice, and has a feel good tone, but those of us who run a household or a business know that talk of hope and change is not enough to get the job done. Digging out of a hole requires spending less money, and creating more wealth; it is as simple as that. Irresponsible promises, trying to be everything to everybody, unchecked spending, and crippling taxation are a recipe for disaster. Real hope and real change will require all of us to pitch in to work, grow our economy and urge those on entitlements toward greater independence and productivity.

The No. 1 economic threat facing the United States today isn’t globalization, stagnant wages, unfair trade policy or illegal immigration. And it certainly isn’t what one cable TV demagogue glibly calls a “war on the middle class” by big media, big corporations and big special interests.

Rather, it’s this sense of entitlement that many Americans take with them into the workplace, in their expectations from their government, and the eagerness with which they as individuals shift the blame when things don’t go according to plan.

The key is to never to take responsibility for the personal decisions you’ve made. Eventually, some opportunistic politician will come along and confirm what you’ve always suspected — that you are at the mercy of forces beyond your control, and this politician will tell you that he would take more from others who have more, or “the rich” to help you to become as successful as they are, all for the price of your vote and blind support.

This simply isn’t what our Founding Fathers intended from government, and it’s not in line with our Masonic ideals that we as good and upright Masons inculcate in our lodges, and try to impress on the hearts and minds of those outside of our lodge. It’s this mindset that I fear most from the proposed actions of the upcoming administration.

A Canadian brother my the name of POW Mason he got it from someone else It is a very good article on brotherly love.

A Warm Masonic Tale

Author Unknown

It was a tale of Masonic men surrounding a campfire in the Old West, at night, discussing the Fraternity and its teachings. One old man listened patiently, and finally spoke up:

“I can tell you more bout Masonry in a little example than some of the great Masonic philosophers can in books. Everybody Stand up, and gather in circle around the campfire .”

They did that. “Now, everybody hold hands with the man next to him.” they did that, too. “Now, what do you see looking ahead ?”

“The face of a brother through the flames.”

“What do you feel in front of you?”

” The warmth of the fire, and the comfort it brings on a cool night.”

” What do you Feel at your side?”

“The warm hand of a brother.” “OK. Now drop the hands, and turn around.”

They do so. “Now what do you see, looking ahead?” Complete darkness.”

What do you feel, looking ahead?”

“A sense of loneliness, of being alienated”.

“What do you feel at your side?’ Nothing at all.”

What do you feel on your backside?”

” The warmth of the fire.” ” So it Is with Masonry,” said the old man. “In Masonry gatherings, you can feel the warmth of Masonry interaction, you can see the face of a Brother through the light Masonry brings to you, and you can always feel the warm hand of your Masonic Brother.

When you turn away from masonry, and are out in the world , you see darkness, feel alienated and alone, and do not feel the warm hand of your Masonic Brother. But Masonry, and the warmth and light it brings, are just a turn away from you.”

Well I am finally a officer and look forward to making my rounds around the chairs. Sorry haven’t posted a lot lately it has been so hectic around the holidays. The lodge has elected me to position of a steward a very observant role and I can’t wait to start being more active in the blue lodge. I also was elected in the York Rite but being so new

I think I am a steward or some type of officer. I am still getting used to the commandry ways. I am now trying to figure out what lecture to learn first I really want to learn the 2nd degree lecture due to the complexity and beauty of the lecture as well as not many people know it and it would help out the few that do in our district and help them take a break.

I have to say I am proud to be a mason and love being a part of this magnificent fraternity and brotherhood!!
