I understand what you are saying. And that is why if you take 5 Masons and ask them what something means, you may get 4 different answers. We all interpret things in our own way, from the teachings that we may learn, or read. It's just like both of us reading the same book and coming to a...
Inside the Lodge we do not talk about Religion and Politics, but.... Religion is one of the most important part of our WORK. We receive many teachings from the rule and guide of our practices and faith.
So I took it upon myself to not only look at 1st and 2nd Kings, Ecclesiastes, Amos, and...
If you look at Religion, and the main goal of each person and their view on their Religion. You will notice that all Religions have the same goal in mind. To obey the caommandments, laws, or the will of G-d. YHVH, G-d, Allah, Adonai all are names refering to the same. We just call upon him by...
Introductory reading to Ethics of the Fathers:
All Israel has a share in the World to Come, as is stated: ``And your people are all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever. They are the shoot of My planting, the work of My hands, in which I take pride.'' (Sanhedrin, 11:1)

All that exists is G-d and you.
Everything else is just interface.

Everything that exists in your world is about connecting to your
Creator.
Everything is one of three:
1. A connection to be grasped.
2. A disconnection to be...
At the Lodge I was Rasied at, we wore black and white for every meeting. At my current Lodge I would wear my black and white, but noticed that I was the only one wearing it. Even though black and white is not the usual attire, majority of the brothers do wear an embroidered polo shirt with the...

THE MODEL MASON
By Bro. ROB. MORRIS
There's a fine old Mason in the land, he's genial, wise and true,
His list of brothers comprehends, dear brothers, me and you;
So warm his heart the snow blast fails to chill his generous blood,
And his hand is like a giant's when outstretched to man or...
Masonry is many things. As we travel we come upon different levels of Masonry. In the Lodge settings when we go over business, it is an organization, when we start to study and correlate to authors and the books it may become philosophy, etc...
To me most of all Masonry is a way of living...
Being a Mason to me, means that I will strive be be a better person for my family, my community, and myself. It is stated that we should not live 2 lifestyles. The same way I act in Lodge is the same way I govern myself in the community.
I was talking to one of my newly Raised Master Masons...
My bond in Masonry runs deeper than my bloodline, sometimes. All too often at times family can overlook things that you say or do, because you are family. I wish my bloodline would call me out on somethings that I or others do. When a family member does a certain thing, we tend to brush it...

Bonding is the ultimate emotional connection. While the first five qualities (love, discipline, compassion, endurance and humility) are interactive, they manifest duality: the lover and the beloved. The emphasis is on an individual's feelings, not necessarily on mutuality...
My brothers (X and Trip),
I can call you brothers now, and not Candidates (lol). Once again I want to tell you Congrats, Mazel Tov, Felicidades, on becoming a Master Mason. A journey that you and the men before you have traveled, and gone through the same things that you have gone through...
Greetings,
Congrats, and like my brothers said it is never too late, and you are never too old. Regardless to what the age of a man, you are not in dotage, until you feel you in dotage. If you are able to do degree work and you are 85 years old, then so be it. There is a point in a man's...
May 2, 2004 I had the most beautiful Masonic wedding. It is as beautiful as getting you 1st degree. My wedding was inside a Masonic Lodge, with my brothers, friends and family.
