A Masonic Teaching Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a Masonic rumor. In ancient Greece (469-399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day, an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, 'Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Grand Lodge? 'Wait a moment,' Socrates replied, 'Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test' 'Triple filter?' asked the acquaintance. 'That's right,' Socrates continued. ' Before you talk to me about Grand Lodge let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?' 'No,' the man said, 'actually I just heard about it.' 'All right,' said Socrates. 'So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about GL something good?' 'No, on the contrary ...'. 'So,' Socrates continued, 'you want to tell me something bad about it even though you're not certain it's true?'. The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued.' You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter. of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Grand Lodge going to be useful to me?' No, not really. 'Well,' concluded Socrates, 'If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good, nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?' The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. and because he was so clever he must have been a Freemason ????
