Book excerpt: This book is aimed, primarily, at the newly initiated Mason, but it is also for those older Masons who have not delved into the depth of meaning in Masonic ceremonies. As Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols, this book takes a look at what those allegories and symbols are hinting at. The creators of the amazing Masonic degree ceremonies have added a layer of meaning that goes beyond the obvious moral lessons and starts to point the Mason who seeks light towards a more spiritual understanding of himself and the reason for his existence in this world. This is the first of three volumes, each aimed at one of the three Craft Degrees.

Download or read book Mentor s Manual written by M W Grand Lod Free and Accepted Masons and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making this Manual available on amazon for brethren who wants a printed copy. The Mentor Plan was conceived as an answer to one of the problems of Masonry - the producing of interested Masons by means of a well - rounded education in all phases of the Royal Art. It is not possible to impart all of the knowledge necessary to produce a generation of informed Masons in the brief time the Mentor will be active in the life of the candidate. The Plan, therefore, must have, as its main objective, the promotion of an interest in Masonic knowledge. It must devise a means of creating a desire in the candidate to learn more about Masonry and point out to him the sources from which he will be able to obtain more light on those facets of it which he will find interesting to him. These, of course, will vary with the individual.It is not the objective of the Mentor Plan to teach the ritual nor is it generally recommended that the Mentor instruct the new Mason in the catechisms which he is required to learn. In some Lodges it will be necessary that the same brother perform both functions because of the shortage of instructors. However, when this is the case care should be taken to avoid confusing the two subjects. The Mentor Plan will endeavor to acquaint the new brother with some of the history of Freemasonry, its philosophies and objectives. It should also give him some insight into the literature of the Fraternity wherein he may begin and continue his study of its teachings and doctrines.Instruction under the Mentor Plan must be individual and personalized if it is to be effective. In embracing this system we are following the time honored method of the Fraternity, that of imparting instruction from mouth-to-ear, for Freemasonry believes in and stresses the importance of the individual. Through the individual, as he comes to realize that he is Freemasonry to many people, will understand the necessity for him to exemplify its principles by walking uprightly before God and man, squaring his actions by the square of virtue.

Download or read book Mystic Masonry written by Robert Lund and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are reasons why every symbol and every allegory in Freemasonry should be deemed important to a Mason. Knowledge can be preserved in symbols and, often, those that preserve them can be ignorant of what they preserve. For those who continue to search for the deeper meaning behind Masonic symbols, consider yourself more enlightened than those who do not seem to understand the words "veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols." The Craft's symbolism is a system of great depth, and only appears simplistic to those who view it superficially. However, when we research industriously, the true light of Freemasonry will unfold. This book brings to light some of the deeper meaning behind Masonic symbols.

This book was released on 2015-11-14 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work includes 4 of J.S.M. Ward's shorter works:The Entered Apprentice HandbookThe Fellow Crafts HandbookThe Master Masons HandbookThe Higher Degrees HandbookThe following is an introduction to "The Entered Apprentice Handbook":W. Bro. Ward is one of the most able and earnest of Masonic students. He brings to bear on the task of research the mind of a scholar, enriched by extensive reading, much travel and a wide experience of men and affairs. In addition to being a well known author of Masonic Works, he was the Founder of the Masonic Study Society, whose first President was the late Sir Richard Vassar Vassar-Smith, 33 degree, and in whose ranks are to be found many eminent Masonic writers. Brother Ward has by precept and example led others to become eager explorers in the realms of Masonic truth. The present volume is No. 1 in a series of studies as to the meaning of our Ritual. It deals with the degree of an Entered Apprentice and is calculated to inspire the younger brethren with the resolve not to content themselves with the outward form of our ceremonies, beautiful though it be, but to gain a knowledge of the indwelling soul of Masonry and to comprehend the deep meaning of the ritual with which they are step by step becoming familiar. Hence they will learn to regard the Craft not only as a world-spread, civilizing medium, nor yet only as the most benevolent of all Institutions, but also as a mine of surpassing wealth in which the Wisdom of the Ages has become embedded and preserved.
Download or read book The Hidden Code in Freemasonry written by Rob Lund and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book that should be read by all Freemasons, and all those interested in Freemasonry. It will provide a deeper understanding of the hidden information that the rituals of Freemasonry are trying to convey to those who seek Truth. There are thousands of books on Freemasonry and most of them cover literal interpretations of Masonic ritual and expand on the moral lessons to be learned from them. This book is different to most, in that it looks beyond the literal veil, and digs into the deeper messages embedded in the rituals, symbols, and ceremonies. The symbols and rituals of Freemasonry have always been mysterious, even to the average Mason. This book exposes the hidden code that underlies each of the Craft rituals and which points to the true meaning of these ceremonies. People join Freemasonry for different reasons: the camaraderie; self-improvement; charitable service - mostly to fill some void in their lives. Many, today, are looking for something deeper, but are not interested in the formal trappings of the various religions. Many of these are disappointed because they don't find what they're looking for in Freemasonry and, as a result, leave the organization. This is unfortunate because embedded in the truly amazing, multi-layered ritual, are messages from the Ancient Mysteries, which point out a clear path, through ancient knowledge, to spiritual consciousness. This knowledge, which constitutes the real "secrets and mysteries of ancient Freemasonry", was regularly taught in the earlier days of the Craft, but seems to have been forgotten over the years. This book is aimed at reviving that knowledge and spreading it to Masons and non-Masons across the world, to reach those that seek Truth and Light, and gain the full benefit of what Freemasonry is all about.
