Getting Back to the Basic Principle of Exercise and the Occult Anatomy of Man.

25 minutes

I recently saw a video on YouTube from a channel that I follow

called Natty Life which highlights bodybuilding history from the Bronze & Silver Era.

The video is called Modern Lesson from Early Bodybuilders and it’s only 6 minutes and 13 seconds long but in it, he reveals the secret to great results.

#1 -He says, “It’s the effort and consistency that one puts

into the training that makes the difference and that my friends are free.”

#2 – worrying about genetics, testosterone levels, or the natty

limit is simply pointless.

#3 – There's more to bodybuilding than just putting on muscle. Bodybuilding should really be making us more capable and versatile humans.

Notice that I used the number three because that was what the

creator of the video used. It is important to understand that by eliminating all the confusion and hype of the latest fads, you get clear on what really works and what does not.

Again, work hard in the gym, be consistent, and eat healthily

and that means different things to different people. It doesn’t mean vegan; it doesn’t mean vegetarian either. The key is to work hard to get results. There is no easy way. All the men and women you see who are physically fit have put in many hours, days, weeks, and years to get their bodies strong and durable. They

do it the hard way.

In the masonic world, we also need to keep things simple but

effective if our lodges are to become beacons of light. I will refer to the article “Why This Confusion in the Temple” by Dwight L. Smith published in 1965.

He says in chapter 12 called “The Hard Way is the Masonic Way”,

“But there is no quick way and no easy way to erect temples within the hearts of men”, “There is no effortless way for Freemasons to do the work of Freemasonry.” And then later he says, “the work of a Mason must be done the hard way, or it avails nothing.”

To Guard the West Gate at every stage of the masonic journey,

to hold ourselves to a high standard, to do the work of a mason within the lodge walls that is so palpable that you and your lodge become a magnet to the men who attend its assemblies and when they do show up, they wish not to leave.

Could this be one of the mysteries of Freemasonry?

Could this be done by everyone?

Maybe, but it will be difficult and just like weightlifting to

exercising, the only way you will get results is through:

Great and consistent effort

Focus

And a clear understanding that The Hard Way is the

Freemasonic Way.

What does Manly P. Hall have to say about this theme in his “The

Occult Anatomy of Man”? which was published on December 10, 1929.
