what are we specifically allowed and not allowed to tell the profane?

what are we specifically allowed and not allowed to tell the profane?
Members are restricted from divulging the modes of recognition, describing initiation ceremonies, or revealing anything strictly esoteric and improper to be made known. The arcana or inner mysteries, handed down by oral tradition as unwritten landmarks, are preserved within the lodge and withheld from writing to avoid schisms and maintain esoteric instruction. Beyond the ritual itself, the internal, personal impression that symbolic instruction produces upon a Mason's heart is regarded as private.
