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

This week, we take a look at a gleaming book review of the Master's Word, something I found absolutely humbling. Then we look at some modern scientific discoveries in the realm of astronomy. What can the age of stars tell us about a ten billion-year-old collision of galaxies? Who were some famous astronomers who also happened to be Freemasons? Finally, we'll wrap it all up with an article from Astrology Magazine back in 1944. In an age where science was actively contradictory to the astrological understanding, how are these seeming juxtaposes explained away? Does the science and astronomy of the day take away anything from astrology as a divine science? All this and more. App extras include the original issue of Astrology Magazine.

This week, we ask the question, why should you not push somebody into that officer's chair? Or maybe you should—if you want to burn them out quick. Then, we'll hear from ILL. Brother, Steven L. Harrison, as he tells us about the bicentennial of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. You'll never believe where that first building was located. Next up, joining the Masons ruins a marriage! We'll hear what Ann Landers had to say back in 1981 on the topic. Maybe it wasn't so much Freemasonry that ended that marriage. We'll wrap it all up with a first-hand account of the dedication of a building at the International Peace Garden, and how the Freemasons were intimately involved. All this and more--stay tuned!

Next, we will finish our adventure in reading Ancient and Modern Initiation by Max Heindel with Part 2, Chapter 7 The Stigmata, and the Crucifixion. What is the Stigmata? And what do occultist feel INRI really stands for?

This week we ask the question, "Are the Knight Templar truly Masonic?" We've got a great article that comes direct from the Knight Templar magazine. There are many split opinions on this topic. We attempt to answer them in this episode. Then we're going to dive right back into Max Heindel's, Ancient and Modern Initiation, Part 2, Chapter 5. The Last Supper and the Foot Washing. What does foot-washing have to do with the occult journey? What does the sweet smell of the saints truly represent? And what truly is the philosopher's stone? All this and more, stay tuned.

This week we unveil the coolest contest ever. Then we're going to dive into the history of the ritual. Where the heck does it come from? Who came first? Thomas Smith Webb? Preston? Anderson? I don't know, but we're going to find out. Then there is a little knock at the door. Who is it? It's Steve L Harrison, the Illustrious Brother who brings us the Masonic Minute every other week. He's got a great segment on just what happens when you join a new body. Finally, we're going to wrap it up with Part 2, Chapter Four of Max Heindel's Ancient and Modern Initiation for the chapter on the Transfiguration. Is the Transfiguration something that happens in all men? Probably, but to hear all about it. You're going to have to give a listen. All this and more, coming right up. Stay tuned!
