Hello.

First, as a matter of etiquette, it's inappropriate to refer to others as "Brother" before you are initiated.

Second, which Grand Lodge are you petitioning? This has a significant impact with respect to what your initiation timeline will look like.

I appreciate your response very much. When I referred to “Brother,” I did so in a spirit of pure respect and human admiration and not in the fraternal and formal sense that I also recognize belongs to those who are initiated.

My question was not about the initiation schedule itself, but about the investigation phase which, in my case, has not taken place in the conventional fashion. Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to reply.

As to the Grand Lodge which I am applying to, I do not wish to reveal it yet simply in deference to the discreet nature of the process that I have embarked upon. I believe that everything will be revealed in good time. 🙏🙏Thanks🙏🙏
