Freemason Information
Freemasonry is a post-collegiate mostly-all male fraternity dedicated to the social development of the member to form a broader sense of the self and their community.
By Brother Isaiah Coffey Namaste Hopefully this response will find each of you Immortal Light Beings within the best of health, spirits and the 4 immeasurable states of mind: joy, love, compassion and equanimity. As we all are enrolled by the Universe in Earth school, our studies, in respect to truth, will vary as each […]
By Brother Isaiah Coffey Peace and blessings to all Divine Immortals Magick has been equated with the act of being sinful, evil, sinister and ungodly even, however, nothing could be further from the Truth. Many are not aware that we use magick in some form or fashion during our daily lives. Prayer, itself, is even […]
By Carlos Antonio Martinez, Jr., J.D., PH.D., M.A., 33º Read – Is CoMasonry the Antidote part 2 Read – Is CoMasonry the Antidote part 3 While listening to an alarming expose on the declining of membership of “Regular” American Masonry and its apparent inexorable demise, I could not help to wonder if that which has been prohibited, the admission […]
[1] “The doctrine of the immortality of the soul, if it is a real advantage, follows unavoidably from the idea of God. The _best_ Being, he must _will_ the best of good things; the _wisest_, he must devise plans for that effect; the _most powerful_, he must bring it about. None can deny this.”–THEO. PARKER, […]
The last of the symbols, depending for its existence on its connection with a myth to which I shall invite attention, is the Lost Word, and the search for it. Very appropriately may this symbol terminate our investigations, since it includes within its comprehensive scope all the others, being itself the very essence of the […]
It is one of the most beautiful features of the Masonic Institution, that it teaches not only the necessity, but the nobility, of labor. Among the earliest of the implements in whose emblematic use it instructs its neophytes is the Trestle Board, the acknowledged symbol of the Divine Law, in accordance with whose decree[199] labor […]
Intimately connected with the legend of the third degree is the mythical history of the Sprig of Acacia, which we are now to consider. There is no symbol more interesting to the Masonic student than the Sprig of Acacia, not only on account of its own peculiar import, but also because it introduces us to […]
The most important and significant of the legendary symbols of Freemasonry is, undoubtedly, that which relates to the fate of Hiram Abif, commonly called, “by way of excellence,” the Legend of the Third Degree. The first written record that I have been able to find of this legend is contained in the second edition of […]
The compound character of a speculative science and an operative art, which the Masonic institution assumed at the building of King Solomon’s temple, in consequence of the union, at that era, of the Pure Freemasonry of the Noachidae[140] with the Spurious Freemasonry of the Tyrian workmen, has supplied it with two distinct kinds of symbols–the […]
Another important symbol is the Ineffable Name, with which the series of ritualistic symbols will be concluded. The Tetragrammaton,[122] or Ineffable Word,–the Incommunicable Name,–is a symbol–for rightly-considered it is nothing more than a symbol-that has more than any other (except, perhaps, the symbols connected with sun-worship), pervaded the rites of antiquity. I know, indeed, of […]
