Where did these ideas of the square, level and plumb come from? Were these working tools being used symbolically by Freemasonry in 1717?  Where did we get the idea of the third degree from. Is the Lost Word of Freemasonry pure Egyptian or Chinese?

Brother Christopher Earnshaw, author of The Spiritual Freemasonry Series shares some of his insights into the origins of Freemasonry and its spiritual aspects that may have come directly from China. We have an awesome discussion about strong parallels among the Benedictine, Cistercians and Chinese. What? Join us as we have the only conversation worth having, the one that helps us to understand what Freemasonry can and maybe should be.

I read an article from Phlialethes magazine written in 1946. The article was promoting a little known book today that only had a limited printing of 500. Very limited if you ask me. As we enter the Craft, shouldn't we be led to books like this to help us learn how our ceremonies evolved?

But just like this book that is out there could there be others that are being held in personal libraries?

We continue the thread of the Masonic Variant coming out of England and ask ourselves how masons and Grand Masters tried to protect their members from these variants. How did these Grand Master inoculate their members from these dangerous masonic variants and did these variants reach America at some point and try to infect the colonists and later American?

Then we talk about the weightlifting variants from Josehp Curtis Hise to Peary Radar and their breathing squats routines that gave them tremendous results. These men were pioneers of the weightlifting world and applied their genius to their endeavor and efforts of reaching physical perfection.

In this episode I review what the first degree charge says about our duty as a citizen,  the people rising up all around the world to fight for their freedoms and rights, Boris Johnson was forced to remove all restrictions for the cuties meaning no more masks, no more jab mandates and everything connected to it. Does our first degree charge admonish us to just obey and not question anything our elected officials say or do?

The only way we can begin to understand this is to exercise our minds and learn about what Lysander Spooner had to say about Jury Nullification and how we as citizens are empowered not only the facts of any case but the execution of the law being applied. We have the right and duty to judge both the fact and law. 

I would add that this applies to us as Citizens and Masons alike.

Has Freemasonry encountered different variants before? Is the lodge built to be safe distance compliant? How has Freemasonry dealt with variants in the past? Why did Freemasonry begin to experience variant degrees and what was there purpose?

We also have variant exercise routines going all the way back 1000 years to the ancient Hindu wrestlers who did a variety of Hindu Squats and Hindu Pushups.

We delve even deeper into the Regius Manuscript and make more connections to our Fraternity, the Crusades, knights Templars, Benedictine and Cistercian Monks, Old Charges, Constitutions. Do we derive from the Catholic religion? Is this the secret that Roman Catholicism has been keeping all this time and we get to listen to Fearless snore while I drop knowledge on my Brothers.

In this episode we read an article from Bill Hinberns newsletter from Super Strength Training and then get into the possible origins of our Craft Ritual. Where did it come from? Was it always the same? Has it evolved? Get out there and get some Brethren!!!

The winter solstice fell on a Tuesday this year and we celebrated it at our lodge with a huge bonfire, food, music, conversation and a brief presentation. Is Freemasonry connected to the winter solstice? Does astronomy play a role in the degrees of the Blue Lodge? Listen and learn.

In this episode, I continue to lay the foundation for a stronger body, mind and soul by reading an email from Brooks Kubik, sharing a family tradition of Dia De Los Muertos, knowing what time of the year we are in and encouraging Masons to read their ciphers if their officers of the lodge, if not, study the origins, history and symbolism of Freemasonry. Use you little lizard brain.

We talk about Brooks Kubik again, Stuart McRoberts Brawn and The Hard Gainer, why don't enough Masons want to put in the work, Anderson's Constitutions, Cain, Seth being the true propagator of Astronomy, Geometry and Masonry, the symbolism of the two pillars and the oldest stone structures in the world, Gobleke Tepe, the first spiritual center in the world. The two pillars held all the knowledge of the old world before the flood.
