Ernst and Falk: Dialogues for Freemasons, Continuation

You must guess it. And you will surely guess it; and that very fact was the reason why you should not have needed to become a Freemason original: Freymaurer. Falk is suggesting that true insight comes from independent thought rather than ritual initiation..

Ernst.

If only I were among my books this very moment! — And if I guess it, will you admit to me that I have guessed it?

Falk.

You will find at the same time that you do not need this confession — But to return again to my dilemma! Falk refers to the problem of whether revealing a secret is more harmful than keeping it when the secret's purpose has changed over time. This very point alone is that from which the resolution of it is to be drawn — If all Freemasons, who are now pregnant with the *** original: "schwanger gehen," a metaphor meaning to be preoccupied with or harboring an idea. The asterisks refers to the Knights Templar (Tempelritter)., see and feel this right point; well for them!
