A Mason's Work

Mastering the Trowel the Key to Self-Regulation and Social Harmony


Listen Later

In this episode, we delve into the significance of the third-degree tools in Freemasonry, which are all about how one executes their work. The secret lies in using love as a guiding principle in every aspect of Masonic practice. By applying love to self-care, treatment of oneself, and interactions with others, Masons can experience personal transformation and make better decisions. Discover how the Master Mason's tool of love can truly revolutionize the use of other tools and contribute to a fulfilling Masonic journey.
