There have been many sects of Masons over the years. The Egyptian Masons were likely the originators, at least that's as far back as we can trace it.

Thousands of years pass and Freemasonry was established using the old cryptic teachings that trickled through zealous scholars over the years.

Let's say you discover an artifact in an old Egyptian tomb that teaches the ability to control peoples' minds.

The majority of people would want to use that knowledge for good, but know that if it fell into the wrong hands it would be the ruin of civilization, so they make sure to keep the discovery secret. How secret it should be kept is the point of discussion.

A wise person would memorize the knowledge but put it back where it was found with a better understanding of how the world works. A cunning person would record it cryptically in their works so the knowledge is not perpetually lost. A foolish person would try to abuse it to "better the world." An Evil person would use it to gain power and wealth.

All four types were present when the Freemason society took it's latest form, and each of these four branches of thought struggled internally.

The Wise ones decided to form a new Nation based on the honest, working principles they had discovered and only used the knowledge for that Nation's foundations. Once the Nation was set in motion, they let it spin like a top to see how long their well-designed machine lasted. These were the Founding Fathers.

The latter three persons have always been jealous of the successes of the first, and have plotted ever since to prove their way of thinking is superior to "set and forget".

In reality, all are fools, where the wise one is the least foolish.

The knowledge should be common. The only way something can have power is if people don't understand it. Once you understand how a scam works, you're far less likely to be fooled by it. Power is an illusion; a scam. Revealing the true nature of the world is the only path to real harmony and peace. Hiding it away and trying to prevent people from using it only fuels others' ambitions.

What happens when you tell your kid "you're not allowed to do that"?

They want to do it even more.
