Carlos,
Do you know what HPB was referring too? Have you ever read any of 
Ragon's books and calendars? Do you know what Ragon's work was al 
about, and what was him mission and reason for doing it? Do you know 
who al all who Ragon was? Do you know the differences 
between "symbolic Masonry" and "operative Masonry"? Do you know 
anything, at all, about the Secrets of Freemasonry?

real secrets of symbolic Masonry are lost, as Ragon, by the way, 
proves very well. The keystone, the central stone of the arch built 
by the royal dynasties of Initiates  – ten times prehistoric – has 
been shaken loose since the close of the lastest mysteries.  The 
task of destruction,  or  rather of strangulation  and suffocation 
begun by the Caesars, has finally been completed, in Europe, by the 
Fathers of the Church. Imported again, since those days, from the 
sanctuaries of the Far East, the sacred stone was cracked and 
finally broken into a thousand pieces." (1)
