In the recent “history” of the RSAA in Romania, “unprecedented” facts have happened, and continue to happen,… Of these, here are the ones that struck, I think, to the maximum: first, the separation of over 300 of Brothers of degree 33 ° and last, who - for years - kept, with our Rite, only a purely formal connection; for many, not so much. Then a last minute act: dismissal, by Decree of the Sovereign Grand Commander, of the temporary decrees for the functioning of 24 Lodges of Perfection - eight from the East of Bucharest, two from the East of Cluj-Napoca and one from the East of Arad, Bacău, Caracal, Deva, Focșani, Giurgiu, Onești, Orșova, Râmnicu-Vâlcea, Reșița, Sibiu, Sinaia, Târgoviște, Vaslui.
Together with others, of a smaller scale, these measures have, of course, aroused the dissatisfaction of those directly targeted; and probably the perplexity of others - unusual, too, with such "radicalisms".
The explanation is, however, simple and understandable to all: non-participation in Masonic life there is a centrifugal force that slowly throws you / places you on the periphery of the Rite, and even beyond it… So those measures have only eliminated two, perhaps the most powerful, of the parasitic segments of the composition of the Rite; and which, agglutinating over time, risked becoming a “stagnant factor” in the proper functioning of what needs to be really RSAA from Romania.
Be careful, though! Although in the same context, the need to establish a new climate, anti-stagnant, in the life of the RSAA in Romania, the two measures, true acts of Masonic authority, are not linked by the "sign of equality": if the first visa, categorically, disinterested and sanctioned as such, the Decree of June 15 this year correction a state of affairs still easy to remedy. And only in this sense should we understand it.
Thus, the Brethren of the temporarily dissolved lodges of perfection are called to work, for at least a year, in another lodge, activate - only after that having the fall to ask the Supreme Council re-consecration which was, by Decree, revoked.
They are thus offered a Masonic "examination of conscience" which the respective Brethren have given primarily to themselves… Therefore, not dissolution, but re-construction: in full consensus with the essence of the doctrine from which we also claim whose arcana we set out to decipher.
For, although we perceive them in succession, mystery and act They presence they are, in fact, concomitant; and their simultaneity, perceived as such, is the guiding factor of our cycle of existence.
