“that which is lost”

A phrase used in many mystery traditions, including modern freemasonry, one way Masons may identify each other is as follows:

“Are you a traveling man?”
“Yes”
“Where do you travel?”
“I travel from West to East and then from East back to West, in search of that which is lost”

The true meaning of “that which is lost” refers to the missing phallus of Osiris in the Egyptian mythos. According to legend, Osiris is murdered and dismembered into 14 pieces, his wife, the widow Isis recovers all 14 save for his phallus, which was thrown into the Nile and consumed by 3 fish. The three fish represent: Ignorance (The Mob/People), Superstition (The Church) and Fear (The State)

That ancient Obelisk represents this missing phallus.
Are you a traveling man?”
“Yes”
“Where do you travel?”
“I travel from West to East and then from East back to West, in search of “that which is lost” ”

Begging the degree to which

Hym "Begging the degree to which conservatives are condemning non-traditional inter-sexual interactions. You absolutely ARE doing and HAVE done that. Either implicitly or explicitly (across time). ✌️✊️✌️We✌️✊️✌️ DON'T know that's it's 'objectively better' because WE KNOW that marriage FAILS HALF THE TIME, Candace. You know, all of your colleges think that divorce SHOULDN'T EXIST. Is that what YOU think, Candace? Because IF SO... It seems like... Whenever REALITY... Conflicts with conservative Christian values... It SEEM LIKE... You and your colleges... Want to make the things that conflict with your church-derivative ethical presuppositions... Not exist anymore. BOY-OH-BOY DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR! I'M STARTING TO SENSE A PATTERN! The math is simple, Candace. 50% of marriages end in divorce. Are 100% of marriages happy marriages? The non-divorce ones I mean? Unlikely. So, marriage ISN'T objectively better. Marriage is miserable OVER 50% of the time. MOST OF THE TIME... MARRIAGE IS BAD. And then you're going to go on the squid-boy's channel and and your project the illusion that your ideas are being contended with. But really it's a farce. Squid-boy is just going to shit out his nebulous cloud of social-centrist anti-fringe ink poop and no we're no closer to truth than we were and hour and 14 minutes ago."
