I just want to say, good idea about the Comments Section bro. There are so many people out there who are completely dishonest when it comes to Freemasonry - from Christians, Muslims and general conspiracy-minded people in general, there's going to be a lot of work for you. You may want to consider a "FAQ" section on your About page to direct people to (FAC - frequently answered comments?). If you haven't already, you're going to need to make a "Lucifer" video because people are completely nuts about that. Good luck brother!

What direction are you leaning ?

The truth about Masonry has been out for decades. There rights, the rituals the oaths... most of this content has been made public. It's not pretty.

Yes, you can get them online, which is like downloading a pirate copy of a movie - but it’s not that they’re available which is the issue. It’s they’re not interpreted correctly and completely misunderstood. It’s how we get to the point of misinformation we have today. For example Take the “oaths” - the Catholic Church permits Oaths where they call for God to witness or observe someone upholding a promise or vow. You have every Priest taking a vow of secrecy of confession, and the College of Cardinals all taking an oath. But yet the same thing in Masonry, where the wording of our “oaths” is clear that it’s calling God as a witness, is wrong. By this same notion of the Masonic obligation is problematic, then we should do away with marriage vows, “swearing in the bible in court to tell the truth” Happy to answer any questions you have as you mentioned you are feeling lost

You seem like a great guy and I wish you well, but this line of argumentation is disingenuous - the first part. I think the criticism of Catholicism is somewhat valid. Of course, my point of view really isn't important... and I am also kind of lost - but I try to honest.

I was going to write something mean but I think I'll leave you to it, I genuinely think you are going to have an uphill battle with this whole thing here, so you don't need any more grief from me. Good luck and try to have fun I guess.

I’m up for a challenge, as long as it’s genuine then happy to take it. I don’t do this because it’s easy, I do this because it’s right

​@DailyMasonicProgress ok sure 3 genuine questions. Do you feel either silly or evil cosplaying Harry Potter rituals? How do the other members feel about you disseminating information about them? Why would anyone believe a word that you say? I've not watched anything beyond this one video, because I assume at worst it'll be peppered with lies and misdirection, or incomplete to the point it's pointless.

Thanks for the genuine questions and I don’t mind the injection of humour. 1/ Neither. Our rituals are formally 300+ years old, and we can informally trace them to 700 years. They’re practiced the same throughout the world, albeit minor jurisdictional differences. So to think that every Freemason throughout time and place has, will go through the exact same ceremony is a privilege to be part of. As for the Aprons & regalia, while they are visually just a ceremonial interpretation of an operative stone masons apron, the symbolism and meaning of what they represent is really special. 2/ I don’t make these videos for non-masons, I make them to educate existing Masons and those genuinely interested in Freemasonry. It’s called “Daily Masonic Progress” because the last few words of the final speech at the end of the ceremony of initiation instructs us to “make daily progress in the acquisition of Masonic knowledge”. These videos are just the recorded format of my daily email newsletter which I have been writing for well over a year before I started making them into videos. A Mentor, Friend and Grand Master of my Grand Lodge encouraged me over a year ago to start writing and putting my thoughts out there. The email newsletter is has been growing steadily and without much promotion and its primarily all Masons on the email newsletter, it has a 50% open rate and I know many masons share it to their lodge WhatsApp groups as well. I haven’t come across a Mason who hasn’t been supportive of what I am doing. They’ve all been encouraging and are happy that not only am I educating them, but also dispelling much of the misinformation that exists out there. 3/ Why should you listen to what I have to say? Freemasonry instructs us and directs us to pursue light which is knowledge & truth and “was ever the object of attainment in all ancient mysteries”. So if you are pursuing light and truth, you should listen to what I say, do you own research and make up your own mind. But, Id challenge you to ask yourself, what incentive do I have to lie? I mean, considering my target audience is existing Freemasons, but that being so, why am I one of the few current Freemasons who are addressing these topics? I emphasise current because I am sure you come across a lot of content from either non-masons or “ex-masons” that say things completely contradictory to what I am saying. Ask yourself this, why would I put my face to lies? most of the “ex-masons” are just text explanations. But the bigger question is, if someone has who is an “ex-Mason” is revealing things, can you consider someone credible if they promised to adhere to the principles of Freemasonry, but now have broken their promise? To give this some perspective, you promised in court to tell the truth - but then leave the court and say something completely contradictory to your testimony on the stand; are you someone who we can trust to tell the truth? No. If someone breaks a promise, they’re dishonest and you know you can always trust a dishonest person to be dishonest. Also, go and read my credentials at in the description of every video. I have too much at stake. But finally, for an organisation that is based upon Truth, Honesty & Integrity - if I was lying, I would be putting my entire Masonic “career” at risk and would be given the boot for unmasonic conduct. Here is the part from my bio: Darren holds the Right Worshipful Rank of Past Senior Grand Warden and is the Chairman of Membership & Education for the United Grand Lodge of NSW & ACT. Initiated into Freemasonry at 19, Darren progressed through the Craft Degrees and progressive office and was Installed as Worshipful Master of The Leichhardt Lodge No 133 in Sydney Australia in 2012. In 2014, Darren served as District Grand Inspector of Workings and later joined the Board of Management in 2019. In other masonic orders, Darren is a Past Most Wise Sovereign of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite for the Supreme Council of Scotland (NSW Province), and is a Knight of the Rosy Cross in the Royal Order of Scotland. Darren took an interest in Freemasonry upon learning about both his Grandfathers were Freemasons. On being Raised to the Third Degree, Darren was invested with his paternal Grandfather's apron, and then his Installed Master apron when Darren was Installed into the Chair.

Great answers. You seem like a good person, you changed my mind about you guys; it sounds good for you. It's good to have a band of brothers, I feel that at my MMA gym. I enjoy a rich spiritual life so I get ritual and seeking truths. Have a good one buddy.

​@@DailyMasonicProgressI still think as you say, my heart and mind is closed to secret keeping. Using the example of building a story's arc because it would ruin the secrets warrants scrutiny. As does the other example of identifying means of a systems user. Compartmentalized information shielded from people who don't know better enough to use the information (says they) is and has been used by Shadowy organizations for nefarious purposes since forever. No body likes or trusts secret keepers. You will surely have people like me stumble across your videos spouting abuse, who you say these videos are not even for, they're for Mason's. Your also conducting a kind of public relations exercise simultaneously... it'll be rough if you respond to all the bile. In this video you do seem irritated and have a kind of smarm, although you do seem to genuinely believe your motivations are good I would say. Sorry to call you smarmy, but I can't think of a way to put it otherwise. I really think sharing knowledge openly is the way, but I would say that, and you would defend your system. I think we're at an impasse on that; I'm not sure your organization is good (you think you are, just from the small interaction and viewing this video, but you could be a cannibal for all I know) or if your secrets are worth even knowing. The secret at the top might be you've forgotten the secret, or that it Ba'al you were worshipping the whole time. Maybe I'm curious and jealous of your secrets I bet they are awesome actually, especially because I'll never know them! They could be outrageously good and the process of obtaining them may shape the vessel into being able to contain the knowledge, because it's just too awesome otherwise. But, truth and light for me not shadows and secrets.
