A Mason's Work

The Missing Tool in the EA degree


Listen Later

Delve into the world of Freemasonry and discover the missing element in Masonic symbolism. While the chisel, gavel, and 24-inch gauge hold significant meaning, they lack a generative component. Join us as we explore the importance of identifying and filling skill deficiencies to achieve personal growth and success.

Key Points
• European Freemasonic tools, such as the chisel, have a generative component, unlike those in other jurisdictions.
• The gavel is a removal tool for rough edges, while the 24-inch gauge measures and highlights the value of time management.
• Masonic symbolism fails to address behavioral or skill deficiencies and goals that require closing a gap.
• Discover the need to determine individual deficiencies and create a plan to fill them, whether in education, fitness, or personal objectives.
• The Masonic degrees focus on fitting stones together, with limited context for adding more material.
• Seek insights from listeners on Masonic symbols with a generative and additive component.
• Emphasize the importance for men to identify what is missing from their approach and develop a plan to fill the gap.
