The springs equinox has always been a time of the year that brings us a new hope, life is beginning to grow again all around us but is there a connection with Freemasonry? What astronomical knowledge is embedded in the building of the masonic temple? Is there any merit to this and then we get into the 5 Pillars of a Successful Fitness Program.

Palm Springs Lodge had its 75th Installation Of Officers on 2/26/22 as other lodges have had all around the mighty U.S. How old is the ceremony of installation? Another gem of a book " A Short History of Freemasonry to 1730" by Knoop and Jones is advertised in 1949, how much do we know, dealing with aches and pains by Bill Hinbern. Yeah buddy! Light weight!

Worshipful Jeff Bayer a Mason of 30 years talks briefly about his past in Freemasonry, his assent thru the chairs at Palm Springs Lodge, his observations as to how Freemasonry was being practiced back then, his rise to the East and being a part of what happens when two lodges have to consolidate. Then we get into the 8 Steps to Excellence, Masonic Education at every meeting and The Trivium Discussion Group/ Socrates Cafe and how that opened his eyes to something he had never considered. We round that up with a discussion of what he then observed when a group of masons came back to Palm Springs Lodge to help get it back on its feet and running the way it is now.

Yeah baby, strong discussions!!! 

If you like what your hearing then subscribe to the podcast and give me a third degree review.

We explore just a little bit what we are supposed to be speculating on as Masons? How old is Freemasonry? Do we have any proof that it goes back further than 1717? 

Another email from a listener is read and we learn more about

I read another article from Bill Hinbern about pain and recovery during exercise.

Time, patience, and perseverance will accomplish all things

Another email from a Brother back east writes in.

I read an article that is very pertinent to today and everything that is going on all around us. It was written by Charles G. Reigner, M.P.S 1948 May.

This mason points out what freedoms mean to us in the United States. Even though it was written back in 1948, it still resonates with the times and the issues that we must confront. 

Then I read an article from the original Dino himself, Brooks Kubic. "Music or no Music when you exercise?"

I read an email from a Fellow Craft Mason at Wendell 565  North Carolina who tells us a little about his health journey and some Masonic connections.

I share an article written by Dr. Ross Hepburn, M.P S.; Christchurch, New Zealand way back in 1948. Notes on Masonic History

Then I read about the Origin of the dumb-bell. You'll never guess how old this piece of exercise equipment is!

A writer made me use my little lizard brain and figure out how to apply the 24 inch gauge and the common gavel to a workout and what W.L. Wilmshurst says about these two working tools.

We dig deeper into the Benedictine monks and the Masonic connection. The Benedictine monks focused on a number of symbols that are central to Freemasonry. We read more from Alberto Moreno Moreno's book "The Rule of Saint Benedict and Masonic Ritual, The Origin of Masonic Usages, Customs and Ritual to help us understand this possible connection. We once again find ourselves learning more about the Regius Manuscript.

Then we read an article published in February of 1948 written by Brother Rabbi Hirsch Geffen, F.P.S called "Jacobs Ladder" and see what he has to say about this story and symbol of the Old Testament.

Finally we learn how to apply the ladder to a good workout. Can we use it to help us increase the intensity? 

We give you more lite, but no light weights!!!

I share another article written in the 60's from Philalethes magazine by Millard Lane Fretland, MPS where you can here for yourself the some of the manly similarities between the Benedictine Rule of Order and our Masonic Philosophy. Judge for yourself what this could mean for our fraternity and the origins of Freemasonry. Could this be just a coincidence? Tune in as we continue our journey into more light in masonry and improving our level of physical fitness.

Worshipful Jeriel Smith PM is back and talking about one of his passion, Knights Templar history. We discuss some of the mysteries surrounding the Templars, their rise and fall, international banking, false accusations against them, guarding the west gate and what does this have to do with Freemasonry?

Masonic Muscle is a new podcast dedicated to exploring the mysterious origins, history, traditions and symbols of the craft and at the same time encouraging all Brethren to increase their level of fitness one degree at a time, helping them to be pillars of strength both within the lodge and in the outside world to their friends, family and communities.

We give you more lite, but no light weighs!!!
