Great message!

Nice massage

Why can't an Atheist be a Mason? If religion is personal and not discussed would that not make the point of faith moot? What of other religions or practices that do not have a higher power? Not to sound cheeky, but if the point is not to divide why would you exclude anyone? Worship and obligation to one's deity is a good basis, but not necessary to everyone to have a solid moral and ethical compass.

Cool. Thanks fo this video!

Yeah, it's called actually instructing the members in the liberal arts and sciences.

The Purge supposed to be facing down

Do you have brothers in South Africa?

I am from the Netherlands and we have comparitions as part of the lodge life. It means to compare ideas (no discussion!)so every one in the lodge makes lectures about several things(history, science, esoteric, meaning of the rituals....) And every brother makes a lecture before getting the next blue degree first letting you know themselves and telling about their own life up to that moment(emotional) and than before becomming master a lecture about what it has ment to be a mason so far also we can determine if one understands the path and if he is ready for the master degree. And only 25% of the time are rituals in the blue lodges and 75% stimulating the mind and growing together. That way you can use the symbolism to communicate on a higher level. And there are other paths you can discover here like the Schottisch😉 and York rite and also more esoteric paths. Simply saying if you have philisofical engagement where youngh and old can teach each other and a point on the horizon(other paths) to look forward to if a brother want more. I know most international lodges work differently but perhaps the Dutch way can inspire and ad something.

When will you be in Phoenix. I would love to meet you.

Thank you for sharing this was interesting

🔥🔥

I once made a mistake of saying; I was a traveler for work. Meaning a traveling Union Pipefitter as my career. Makes sense now why, he was so interested in making my accountancy. No, I'm not a freemason, sorry for the misinterpretation.

Brothers I will be traveling to the UK in october and will be spending time in edinburgh and london. besides rosslyn chapel I would love to visit the lodge of edinburgh #1. does anyone know how to contact the lodge to arrange a visit or tour?

Your third answer is the one I've identified the phrase with.

Thanks for the advice

Because they are pilgrims on the path...?

how many bricks did you lay this week 😅

I've a question Maynard if you don't mind question is "Do Freemasons believe in reincarnation" 🤔

If you are Ireland, a traveler has a rather different meaning 😂 but one we become Master Masons we are free to well ‘travel’ and yes, I agree with number 3.

In French Free Macon means Free House, which is another name for a Pub/ Public House. A Free House would've been able to house out of town craftsman working on building in their area. This is what you can still see in some places when workmen stay in a Bed and Breakfast while they're building or working on a project or business seminars, etc .. That's my two cents

How can i join from pakistan

Is there a difference between Masons and Elk Lodge or are they the same thing?

My wife is from the Philippines and the next time I’m there I hope to visit with the brethren there.

Freemasons of Texas helped me survive. From 1968 to 1981, I was provided anything I needed to live and go to school. After graduation, I was given thousands of dollars for college. Thank you to all members, past and present and future members of Freemasonry.

We also travel through the chairs. That's what I thought it meant when people asked me when I was a new Mason.

Help me to join

Masons will do anything and say anything to defend their cult. I know many men that are masons. Decent men. No criminals, but i pray for their souls daily. You cant defend your dark and continuous history anymore.

This must be a secret, God left a witness in the stars.And he knows every hair on my head, and the word of God should be in my heart and mind.

Being Christian. How do you explain the upside-down star of lucifer? I've noticed its posted on many lodges.

At what point do you wear a goat head & dance at night in front of a giant owl statue? 😂

Why you don’t say that it represents the generative principle,to be specific the penis

No, that’s Charles Rosenbaum, SGIG and Past Grand Master of Arkansas

Unity 146. In regards to ice to water - what did they measure temperature in when the 33rd degree was established. Was it Celsius? This would be anyone who becomes an entered apprentice (1st degree) is transforming from ice to water … not the 33rd.

So I had no conditions I taped into my 33rd degree knowledge through a near death experience once a mason always a mason no matter if your in a lodge this life time or not

I own a 1st edition copy of "MacArthur His Rendezvous with History" by author Courtney Whitney 1955, signed by 32nd Degree Mason who served as a pilot in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam wars: Captain Malcom E. Huckleberry, U.S.A.F. You can watch an interview with him hosted by the Library of Congress here (both he and his wife have since passed): www.loc.gov/item/afc2001001.15816/

Thanks!

Can any person become a Freemason? can they join some of the lodges without having the invitation? I always thought that you must get invitation from someone inside the brotherhood! apparently i was wrong. One more question: becoming a Freemason is all about gaining power / hidden knowledge / making connections to other nodes (other members)? Or it's about making a person being able to master himself to achieve the higher steps of the ladder of the higher consciousness?

Mysterious 33 ∴∴

if it is not a religion, then why are there no religious symbols on masonic cemeteries in Scotland? I lived in Scotland for 8 years, and got to take a closer look at these old tombstones. You won't find any crosses at Greyfriears's cemetery, for example. That's where all the rich & famous are buried. At another cemetery for veterans, you can see that about 90% of the tombstones have no religious symbols whatsoever, instead they sport masonic symbols. Why is that?

People fear the unknown.. Freemasonry is the largest fraternal order in the world (for now,, although our numbers are dwindling, sadly..) There Truly is an extremely tight bond among the Brethren. We do have secrets, but really only the initiation ritual. Most everything else we do or learn is published in books, in plain English.. The fear of the unknow is always scarier than the real truth. I think the Catholic church propagated much of the idea that Freemasonry was a satanic fraternity. Just my opinion.

Hello Brother, As there are no hard fast rules, I wear mine facing me because that is how I received it when I was given "Light". As you stated, there is much controversy over the matter. Truly, it's kind of comical... Some Brothers get pretty adamant over the subject,. Like the Gentlemen's Father said in the last comment wear it "With Honor", well said. The tenets of Masonry are the foundation for an honorable life, if everyone kept their oath the world would be a much better place. The Masonic lessons, charges and lectures I was taught have made me a Better Husband, Father, Son and a better Man. For the unenlightened who ,may read this; I hear a lot of controversy over becoming a Mason if you are a Christian? All I will say is this, I am a Christian and I have once and forever given my heart to Jesus Christ. There is Nothing in the oath I took as a Mason or anything in the Masonic teachings that I wouldn't say or do before the presents of God. I just wanted to let people know this. Thank you for the great video. "How do Masons part?" "On the Square". "So Mote it be".

Hi. Very enlightenig boooks. Though, I would like to add the book from Wolfgang Scherpe " Das Unbekannte im Ritual". Greetings, Dominik Mauer.
