You know, and after doing all this research on the runestone and, you know, the Cistercians and the Templars and the Talpiat tomb and all of that, it really affected me and prompted me to look inward.

And so I decided to become a Freemason because when you study the Templars, you're gonna end up going down the Freemason road, they're interconnected and I know now that they absolutely are.

But at one point I decided I'm gonna knock on the door and I did that.

And I'm really glad that I did because there's all these things.

What was interesting is when my dad passed away, one of the things they did is they cut off a ring on his finger

And they gave it to me, and it was a ring he always wore.

And I never really looked at it as a kid, but it was very worn because it turns out it belonged to my great-grandfather, who was a Mason.

And my grandfather was a Mason, and my dad was a Mason, but he never talked about it.

And the ring prompted me.

It had a shimitar, a curved Arabic sword with a five-pointed star and a diamond in the middle.

And when I got home, I said, Mom, what is this?

She said, well, your dad was a Shriner.

I go, what's a Shriner?

Oh, he was a Freemason.

I go, what's a Freemason?

He never said anything about it.

And that generation, that post-World War II generation was very secretive.

They didn't talk about it, right?

But we need to talk about it.

And we can get into that later.
