The Level's Perspective on Time and Work

In this episode, we delve into the Masonic perspective on time and how it relates to our work. We explore the concept of time as the great leveler and the use of Masonic tools like the 24 inch gauge to understand its passage. We discuss the importance of evaluating our work to determine if it will withstand the test of time and avoid becoming outdated. Furthermore, we consider how the level can help us assess the value and relevance of other people's work. Join us for a fascinating exploration of time and its impact on Masonic labor.
