Whence Came You? - Freemasonry discussed and Masonic research for today's Freemason

This week, we talked with a Brother of the Jewish faith about his particular experience in Freemasonry. Is Freemasonry compatible with Judaism? What's it like to join a fraternity that's overwhelmingly Christian, which uses a Jewish text as the foundation for the allegory and being Jewish In the fraternity? This week, we're talking to Brother Sean Rothberg and gaining a unique perspective on the Craft. All this and more. Stay tuned!

This week, how can we adjust our lives to be more Masonic, and connect with the people around us? Is the answer truly in putting down our phones and electronics? Are they truly a plague upon modern mankind? We'll explore this idea in a piece by Darin A. Lahners, where he lays out many of the significant issues with mental health and our dependence on electronics. Then Ill. Bro. Harrison tells us about famous last words--those words spoken by prolific and interesting people throughout history, at the end of their earthly existence. We'll explore the idea of Egregore and Freemasonry, a commonly misunderstood concept. It has as many definitions as you could imagine, including some that are laughable. We'll define it, and you'll get a true sense of what this actually is. And finally, we'll wrap it up in a contemplation on your next steps in life. Reaching the higher self for your greatest good.

This week, we get a rundown of what happened at the Midwest Conference of Masonic Education, 2022, in Kansas City, MO. What were some of the ideas passed around from state education officer to state education officer regarding best practices and discoveries within the realm of Masonic education? Then we'll hear, from Greg Knott, who tells us about a recent visit he had to a used bookstore. What treasures did he find? Finally, we'll wrap it up with reflections on being your own teacher--what that means and the duality of such an idea. Truth from within, or teenage angst? Going against the grain. Challenging the status quo. All this and more. Stay tuned!

This week, is there value in the rubbish of the temple? What do those less than perfect stones do for us for the rest of our lives? Could they be lessons preparing us for future obstacles? Then we'll hear a response from a festive board regarding the 47th problem of Euclid. At a recent festive board, one Brother brings a personal touch to his 47th problem of Euclid response in a special segment he's recorded for us. Then, a letter to the Brothers the world over about the importance of the esoteric in Freemasonry and our charge to light the fire of education in every man that comes through our doors. Steve Harrison stops by for an all-new Masonic Minute about the Cable Tow and gives us a contemporary response to what it could mean for us. Lastly, we wrap it up with a Tarot card draw. What do we do about adversity? All this and more!

This week, how critical is the idea of an individual degree and an individual catechism to the future of Freemasonry? We'll explore a piece by William H. Boyd in which he outlines the several reasons why the future of the Craft depends on the practice of individual degrees and catechisms. Then, we'll talk about the investigation committee and the concerns of a Grand Lodge in the 1950s. As the Grand Lodge put it, is there a "serious lack of discretion?" We'll explore some of the questions that we are charged to find the answers to within the Investigation committee and talk about how things have changed over the years. Lastly, I read my response from a festive board on the idea of World-Wide Brotherhood. What does it mean to truly be a brotherhood that spans the world? What makes us brothers? It's not just the obligation--it's something deeper. All this and more, stay tuned.

This week, we wrap up the contemporary look at Whither Are We Traveling with part 11 of Darin A. Lahner's series. Are there not too many well-meaning Brethren working overtime to make Freemasonry something other than Freemasonry? Should we abandon free will and accord? Should we take positions on public issues of the day? Go all out for materialism? Subsidize? Then we hear a tale from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison in this week's Masonic Minute about Winston Churchill--The most difficult decision he ever had to make-- to fire on allies. We wrap it up with a Tarot card draw and contemplate what a specific card could mean in terms of practical application through the lens of Freemasonry. Are you on the verge of a breakthrough? Or a new success? All this and more. Stay tuned.

This week, Whither Are We Traveling? (Pt 10) and Worshipful Brother Darin A. Lahners' contemporary examination of the text. Hasn't the so-called 'century of the common man' contributed to making our fraternity a little too common? Is it so easy for anybody to join Freemasonry? And what happens when common men become part of our uncommon fraternity? Ritual cheapened? The public image of the fraternity sullied? Then, we'll take a look at a recent article from the Knight Templar Magazine--all about the history of Golgotha and how it got its name—"the place of the skull." How did this place get its name? What place does the skull and the Chamber of Reflection have in our Craft today? All this and more, stay tuned!

This week, "What has become of that course of moral instruction, veiled and illustrated by symbols that Freemasonry is supposed to be?" Has Freemasonry lost its Masonic education edge? Are we too hung up on crafted programs created by our membership committees that change every year? What could be a simple way of ensuring Masonic education finds its way to every member? Then, we've got an all-new Masonic Minute with Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison in which he discusses the topic of heaven and earth. A supreme philosophical outlook on what God is, and how the end of time as we know it will happen, and what that means for us--philosophically, of course. All this and more, stay tuned!

This week, Darin A. Lahners dives into the seventh question of "Whither Are We Traveling?" Do we pay enough attention to the festive board? Does your lodge know the difference between a festive board and a table lodge? If the answer is, "… It's the same thing.", I'm sorry to tell you that's just not true. We'll break apart the differences. We'll talk about the necessity for the festive board--one of Freemasonry's fundamental tools for making this world better by making good men better. Then we'll hear the tale of Nathaniel Beverly Tucker, as illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison takes us through this week's Masonic Minute. A troubled Past Grandmaster moving from Christian denomination to Christian denomination due to his dubious beliefs. Did Nathaniel Beverley Tucker plan the entire secession of the South? You'll have to listen to find out. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a single Tarot card draw. We'll be working with the coveted Manly P. Hall and J. A Knapp Tarot deck. Are you strong-willed, bold, and ready to execute on challenges? Find out all this and more. Stay tuned!
