I learned this many years ago. I'm certain many of You know this, but good things stand up strong in repetition.
A Rabbi asked his class, "When have You seen God?"
Everyone gave an answer. "When I see the sky", "when I see the river flow where it wills to" and so on.
Then the teacher said, "when You look into the eyes of your brother, then You have seen God".
Blue is the color of heaven. Removing blue indicates pride. With pride and without God, You have no brother, everyone is beneath you.
Personally I find it absurd to deviate grievously from nature and believe itself to be better than God's creation.
Let throw a bone here.
Masonic tradition is the belief that Masonic ritual makes "Better Men". God did just fine with out the Mason's assistance.
A pun is presented to Masons at every level. The realization is not received until they complete the steps to greater betterment.
When asked by newbies who the Mason's god is they point to a Two ball cane. Simply, they worship a phallus. Tubal Cain? Idolatry.
