MASONRY: THE STORY REVEALED

The story of freemasonry in not yet complete. It is still unfolding, being revealed in the minds of next generations. They are our horizon, assuming the torch of opportunity.  So many references to some much history; the age of enlightenment, the rennaisance, and the reformation. Scholarship of the ancients; Chinese, Egyptian and Arabic seamlessly follow along  time lines into our minds.  Some ideas catch on. Some become a phenomena. One of them is masonry. A phenomena that reveals connections, between a form of study of intellectual and a good life. It satisfies and pleases at a deep level. It gratifies like the feeling one gets from seeing great art, or listening to poetry that expresses the emotion of life.  It enlists the imagination in balance with rationalizm. It puts forthward questions that only the imagination can answer. It links the arts and sciences; past, present and future. It promotes acts of selflessness, generosity and authenticity.  It admits it is not for everyone. 

Enigmatic. Allegoric. Metaphor. Mystery. Secret.

It is a lifestyle derived from a way of thinking, produced by understanding lessons from history.  Life is not a dress rehearsal and masonry is the 2nd Act.
