Masonic Muscle

There was more going on in the back ground to the creation of the 1723 Constitutions of the Free-Masons. The political and religious environment of the time was tense, and made it even more difficult to write something that would not create too much controversy.But who was the man, the mason, and why was he called to help put this document together?Was James Anderson a Mason before all of this?Was he a Scottish Mason and had intricate knowledge of the Craft?If you haven't bought your copy of Anderson's Constitutions, read it and then tell us what you got out of it, and if you wish to come on the show to discuss your thoughts and observations.Follow me on Instagram @masonicmuscleTikTok @masonicmuscle357Write to me at masonicmsucle357@gmail.com

The Curmudgeon Supreme and I read David Stevenson's article "James Anderson: Man & Mason" about James Anderson, one of the masons who helped assemble the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723.This article was first published in the Heredom Volume 10, 2002, a research journal put out by the Scottish Rite. For many years, Doctor James Anderson has been accused of many negative reasons for helping to put together what we now know as the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723 & 1738.There is a lot that was going on during that time in and around England. England, Scotland, and Ireland were all fighting against each other, so why did these London Masons choose a short, red-headed Scotsman to help put together one of the most important Masonic documents ever published?The origins of this mysterious Masonic document have been actively researched and analyzed, critiqued, and ignored since it first appeared in 1723, and we still do not fully understand why it was produced in the first place.Brother David Stevenson is the author of both "The Origins of Freemasonry, Scotland's Century 1590-1710" and "The First Freemasons - Scotland's Early Lodges and Their Members 1988.Let us keep exploring the mysterious origins of Masonry and Freemasonry with ruthless abandon.Follow me on:Instagram @masonicmuscleTikTok @masonicmsucle357Write me at masonicmsucle357@gmail.com if you have questions or suggestions for research on the enigmatic and mysterious origins of freemasonry.

In 1924, Bro. Lionel Vibert, Past Master Quator Coronati Lodge No. 2076, England, the premier masonic research lodge, wrote a review of his findings concerning Anderson's Constitutions of 1723.The article was for a series of books called the "Little Masonic Library," published by the Masonic Service Association of the United States. It is a great introduction and gives us a bird's eye view of the Masons' understanding of this document in 1924.There have been many discoveries since then, but how much has our concept changed?What did Bro. Vibert have to say about the Constriction's and Brother Anderson?Follow me on Instagram @masonicmusclewrite to me at masonicmsucle357@gmail.com#secret #masonic #muscle #constitution #freemasonry #masonry #1717 #library #little #information #knowledge #code #allegory #symbols #morality #critique #critical #lodge #grandlodge

Reading Anderson's Constitutions of 1723 is one thing; reading and studying in a group is another.What can we learn when we continuously study a subject like the Constitutions of the Free-Masons and then hold discussions about what our studies and contemplations have revealed or not?Brother Jesus and I have another conversation where he shares his thoughts and observations about Anderson's Constitutions and what they could mean. We discuss the scribes of ancient Egypt and how this type of education was for a select few, even though they may not have been of royal blood.He also shares some of his experiences with his very own initiation.Write your question to me at Masonicmsucle357@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram @masonicmuscle

The General Regulations of Masonry provide more rules regarding the powers of lodges, their members, and the leaders that the members have elected.How many of these do you recognize?How many of these did you know about?Did you know how power and responsibility you had as a member and as a lodge?Let us contemplate after lifting heavy weights!We bring you more light, but no light weights!If Masonry is a progressive science, then why are we not progressing?

The Charges of the Free-Masons are something that most lodges never review together. Why are these charges so important to all Masons, and why should we care?The Charges of the Free-Masons:Of God and ReligionOf the Civil MagistrateOf LodgesOf Masters, Wardens, Fellows, and ApprenticesOf the Management of the Craft on workingOf Behaviour: 1)In the lodge while constituted, 2)After the lodge is over and the Brethren not gone. 3)When Brethren meet without Strangers, but not in lodge, 4)In the Presence of Strangers not Masons, 5)At Home, and in the Neighborhood, 6)Towards a strange Brother.Let us contemplate after Lifting Heavy weights.Please write to me at Masonic muscle357@gmail.com

We finish reading the "Legend of the Craft" as written in Anderson's Constitutions. It is a legendary tale of how and where the craft of masonry and geometry came from and how it traveled worldwide. Famous people and places are introduced, and we learn how Masonry came to England.As the Supreme Curmudgeon and I read this grand myth, we ask ourselves if this could be conveying a hidden message within the message. We give both our observations and commentary.Write to us at:masonicmuscle357@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram @masonicmuscle#mysteries #veiled #allegory #curious #secret #history #myth #legend #anceint #knowledge #hidden #occult #shadows #untold #masonic #muscle #temple #mystery #

The Curmudgeon Supreme and I begin to read "The Constitutions of the Free-Masons Containing the History, Charges, Regulations & of the Most Ancient and Right Worshipful FRATERNITY. For the Use of the Lodges by James Anderson 1723. We experience some technical difficulties at the very end so my apologies. The session ends after 1 hour 17 minutes.We read starting on pages 7 to 16. As we read through this we make some observations and comments. Then after an hour we stop and have some discussion about what this document has covered so far. We hope you all join us in this exploration into one of Freemasonry's most important documents.What is "The Legend of the Craft"?Why is it important to us now?When was it written?Can we actually learn something from it?Will it delve into the "Mysteries of Masonry"?You can buy a copy of Andersons Constitutions on Amazon for less than $15 or you can download a free copy online.Either way, you have no excuse not to have one and read along with us.Write to us at masonicmsucle357@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram @masonicmuscle

The Curmudgeon Supreme and I share our opinions and observations on the 1723 Constitutions of the Free-Masons. We talk about some of what our impressions are, what to expect in the upcoming weeks. You have one more week to buy your copy of Andersons Constitutions or get a free pdf version so that you can follow along with is and join in the conversation.Will this exercise benefit us in any way?Why do we not ever read this in lodge?How long will it take to read this book?It took me long enough to get the curmudgeon supreme to read this important masonic document. He has been a mason for over 30 years and had never even known what this was.After this episode, we will begin our process of exploring the enigmatic and mysterious origins of freemasonry and any and all origin theories. Let us begin.Write to me at masonicmsucle357@gmail.com

There have been several episodes where I have mentioned this book and many of its parallels that I noticed with Freemasonry. Today I share one of those similarities and this tremendously affects the focus and energy of a lodge.Even though the small book is about men and both physical and mental fitness, it's also about human nature and how humans react to positive environments.You can get this book on Amazon and even though it is an easy read it is filled with plenty of wisdom coming from many failures and the refusal to accept their current state of physical fitness.If you've been active in a lodge for a few years you will readily the similarities and the practical applications to Freemasonry.#f3 #exercise #fitness #physical #physicalfitness #mental #free #mason #freemason #temple #effort #dedication #commitment #intense #body #masonic #discipline

One of the books I read before becoming a Mason was Born In Blood by John J. Robinson.It is 344 pages long with an appendix.Was it worth the read? Hell yes, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get a handle on the theory that Freemasonry is the direct ancestor of the Knights Templar.A book this size (25 chapters) will cover much and the author's style is engaging, I was not bored because I had never read anything like this.Keep reading and studying the enigmatic and mysterious origins of Freemasonry and then let us have a conversation.Until next time, pump some weights, get plenty of sunlight, and then study the origins of Masonry.Follow me on:Instagram @masonicmsucleTik Tok @masonicmsucle357Write to me at Masonicmuscle357@gmail.com.

Jeff and I finish reading 600 Years of Craft Ritual. We share our observations as we read this excellent presentation by Brother Harry Carr back in the early 1970s. What does all of this mean as far as where our rituals came from and what were they trying to convey to us? Brother Carr in our opinion could not help himself and sprinkled aspects of his transition theory throughout this document even though it is about the origins of our craft ritual. I bring back the theory that Brother Cyril Batham proposed in a series of articles called "A New Theory" found in the Philalethes Magazine back in 1991 in two parts. Jeff's mind is blown and he just lays on the floor in a comatose state until he recovers and tries to assimilate these crazy ideas about the possible origins of Freemasonry. Could the Benedictine, Cistercian, and Teroninsian monks have a part in the origins of our Masonic ritual?

600 Years of Craft Ritual A speculative history of the fraternity as crafted and told by Harry Carr. Jeff and I finish up a presentation by Brother Harry Carr about the origins of our masonic ritual. What can we learn about the origins of the Masonic Ritual? Where did it come from? How did it start? Why did operative masons have a ritual at all? How did this ritual spread from Scotland to England? It ends up bringing up more questions that answers.

600 Years of Craft Ritual A speculative history of the fraternity as crafted and told by Harry Carr. Somewhere in the late 1960s, Brother Harry Carr from England wrote a presentation called "600 Years of Craft Ritual," in which he described his findings as to how our Masonic Ritual had evolved over the course of 600 years. Also within this presentation, he sprinkles bits of his 'Transition Theory' which says that Speculative Masonry directly evolved from the Operative Craft. Let's dig into this presentation.

As our lodge continues to work toward getting our charter back, the present Grand Master came down for our January stated meeting. After business was conducted the Grand Master was given the floor and proceeded to answer any questions the brethren had. Once this was done, the Grand Master gave us the blueprint for how to get our charter back. Why do we need an AGL???

This episode was meant to come out early this month but lost in the shuffle. I reviewed an older podcast called "Peace Revolution" EP. Seven where we learn where the art of Rhetoric came from and what it taught. We are presented with the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences in Freemasonry, but nobody tells us why. The art of persuasion seems to have been with us for thousands of years. When were the Trivium and Quadrivium in their present form developed? Why is this important to us Masons and should we study it all? Peace Revolution Ep. #12 - The History of Money - 36 min. 30 sec Peace Revolution Ep. #33 is a lecture given by Manly P. Hall where he expounds on the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences and how the Romans understood it. Corax of Sicily Demosthenes died in 322 BC, and it was his specific style of persuasive rhetoric that the Skull and Bones at Yale leveraged for their benefit.

An EA of our lodge was challenged to draft a paper on Hermeticism and the possible similarities it may have with Freemasonry. The explorations into the Mysteries of Masonry continue at Palm Springs Lodge No.693. California adopted the Cipher ritual book at the 1989 Grand Lodge Communication. We had an awesome conversation while having a Fraziskaner Weissbier. Give me a review on Spotify and iTunes.

Our resident "Curmudgeon" Jeff Bayer PM talks about how his journey in Freemasonry began, how the Caft was practiced then, and how we created something not-so-new at our Lodge before he left for Tennessee. He fills in some gaps in our lodge history and then we talk about his opinion about the Grand Lodge of Texas.

This episode is for our Entered Apprentice Masons. I read from the Entered Apprentice Guidebook that is no longer in print, but some are still in circulation. Since we had our Charter Suspended, many of you have been confused as to what you can and cannot do. I read from pages 28 & 29 of Entered Apprentices & Fellowcrafts and where it can be found in the California Masonic Code (CMC). CMC Section 804.620 Advancement CMC Section 804.860 Additional Rights of and Prohibitions on Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts If you want a copy, reach out to me at Masonicmuscle357@gmail.com, and I will email one to you. Both the Lodge and the individual mason are responsible for educating the Brother.
