This may be considered off-topic, but I came across this question today, and have been wondering it for a while. I know that at least some of the presents have (or still) belong/ed to a Fraternity/Sorority, or an Order of this kind. As it is well known for most of us, there are many institutions which claim to lead people to higher spiritual states, and attain certain powers, even go through the Initiatic process and complete it successfully. But "younger" people (and I do not speak in terms of earthly age), will surely have a greater dificulty in finding one that is truly righteous... One that isn't simply after our money. These "mistakes" can easily be considered a fragment of our normal path as human beings, but isn't there a way to avoid this? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
