    Politics and Religion are a prohibited topic inside a Masonic Lodge during their meetings. But why? It is no mystery that the topics of Politics and Religion can be incendiary and cause a lot of conflict among people. But how come a society that professes to be able to keep their passions within due bounds restrain from some of the topics that could best test that self-control?  In this episode of The Winding Stairs Freemasonry Podcast, I am joined by three Brothers of varied religious and political views to discuss this very puzzling feature of Freemasonry.  Connect with us!

    How can we maintain consistency in Freemasonry? inconsistency in Freemasonry is a major problem when it interferes with the onboarding of new candidates, when it provides an inconsistent experience for its members, and when it gives outsiders a negative impression of our organization.  In this episode of The Winding Stairs, we discuss Inconsistency in Freemasonry. I sit down with Bro. Andrew Rizzitello to discuss what aspect of Freemasonry need more consistency and which aspects can present benefits by being "inconsistent" or unique.  Bro.

    I believe that Freemasonry has benefited greatly from the connectivity that the Internet has provided. Today, curious people from around the globe, who once only heard sporadically about this organization, can do a little research and even find a Lodge nearby for them to approach. However, the connectivity of the internet hasn't only brought positive things to the fraternity, it has also served as a fertile ground for a mischievous creature I like to call… The CircumPunk. You may have heard of the circumpunct before, that symbol of the point within a circle, which alludes to our ability to circumscribe our desires and keep our passions within due bounds. Well, the CircumPunk is no other than that Brother who neglects the lessons of the compasses and allows their imprudence to know no bounds.

    Freemasonry on the Moon

    Did you know that the first words uttered by Man from the surface of the moon were not the ones most people think? The first words, as documented by NASA's audio files, were “Contact Light”. These words were uttered by astronaut “Buzz” Aldrin.  The irony of these words is that, not only was this the first time humans contacted the surface of another heavenly body, but it was the first time Freemasonry made physical contact with the moon. Among the personal items that Buzz Aldrin brought with him on this historic flight, he brought a Masonic Flag. Yes, the second man to walk on the surface of the moon was a Freemason.  This episode features an exploration into the presence of Freemasonry on the moon through the efforts of Brother Edwin Buzz Aldrin and the subsequent presence of the moon in Freemasonry through the establishment of Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 and the various artifacts brought back from the moon.  Let's explore the connection between Freemasonry and the Moon and how these events set in motion the future establishment of the First Masonic Lodge on the surface of the moon. All that and more on this episode of The Winding Stairs These are exciting times for Science! For months, astronomy enthusiasts have been excitedly awaiting the release of the first photos from the James Webb Space Telescope. A $10 Billion Dollar project to put the largest and most capable telescope out in Space. There are two primary reasons why every Freemason in the world should be excited about this event. 1. As Masons we are encouraged to study Astronomy (We answer why in this episode) and 2. This telescope was named after Brother James Webb… A Freemason.

The structure of the organization is very interesting in a way that allows for the ritual to be separate from the administrative side of Masonry. For example, Victoria Freemasons have a CEO who handles the business side of the organization. Interestingly enough, in 2016 this male-only organization was led by a woman.  In this episode of The Winding Stairs, I share with you an interview that I had thought I had lost forever. After almost having to hire a cyber forensics team and after many hours of editing, I was able to restore this conversation about how Freemasonry is practiced in Australia. I hope you enjoy this insight.   Mentioned in this episode: Leadership in Masonry In 2016, Victoria Freemasons had a female CEO How can leadership be used to help Freemasonry What is the Blue Lounge Social Club?

    Is a Freemason a Gentleman? It is said that Freemasonry takes good men and makes them better. When applied effectively, any man who follows the tenets of Freemasonry will begin to resemble more and more what we call a gentleman. But, are all Masons gentlemen? Of course not. Just like not all religious people are saints. However, if we are putting to practice what we learn in Freemasonry, we are surely on our way to being regarded as gentlemen.  On this episode of The Winding Stairs, I share 3 easy-to-implement tips that can help us really make a difference in our lives and behave more like gentlemen.    Bonus: I will give you a sneak peek at my podcast called "The Gentlemen's Brotherhood". Although not a Masonic podcast, it shares with my other programs the desire to help men become better.

    Measured Improvements You can't improve what you don't measure. As we continue to mature, we become aware of areas of our life that need improvement. Although we might have the right intention to improve upon those areas of our life, we may fail to make any significant progress, if we fail to keep some sort of record of our progress. We may fall into a false sense of security, that convinces us that we are making progress merely because we are aware of the situation. This is not an effective way to improve, it can be deceiving you into remaining stagnant or getting worse without really noticing. It is very difficult to continuously improve upon something that we are not tracking.

    TWS 030 Replacing Habits | Chipping at the Stone

    Replacing Habits Hijacking the triggers that keep you stuck! We are creatures of habits. Sometimes we unconsciously fall into cycles and habits that are very challenging to overcome. It is not that we are not strong enough, but the mechanism by which we adopt these habits is very effective and to be able to replace these behaviors, we need to understand how it all works. I recorded this brief installment of The Winding Stairs Freemasonry Podcast, while going out for a jog. As soon as I was done running, I spontaneously decided to record some of my thoughts on the subject of habit-replacement. On this episode, we are Chipping at the Stone, like in previous episodes. This is a shorter version of our normal-length episodes, in which I share some actionable technique to help you chip away at your imperfections and become a more perfect stone. Since January I have been focusing on the subject of Rituals and Behaviors, because i want to better understand how our brain works and how I can use that knowledge to help my self-improvement and by consequence share my findings with you. I hope you find this episode entertaining and enlightening. If you want to learn more about the concepts of replacing bad habits with good ones, I recommend that you read the book The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. I enjoyed it and learned a lot about hijacking the triggers that usually remind us to engage on the bad habits adopted by making predetermined decisions on what our behavior will be once we encounter those triggers.

    Art in Freemasonry | The Pillar of Beauty Masonic Artist Ryan J Flynn joins us for an informative conversation about the importance of Art in Freemasonry. The Masonic Lodge is supported by three pillars, which are Wisdom, Strength and Beauty. Great importance should be given to each one of these, as they have a very important purpose in the instruction of the Mason.

    Illuminati Rituals Revealed An interview with Bro:. Josef Wages, Editor of the book The Secret School of Wisdom How many times have you heard some outlandish Pop Culture claim about the Illuminati? The liberty with which people claim that there is a Secret Elite Group of people conspiring to bring about a New World Order, is simply fascinating. Is Beyonce and JayZ at the pinnacle of this great conspiracy? Are all these Hip Hop artists being murdered by this secret organization? I think the answer is, NO! But you don't have to take my word for it. We are fortunate that the truth of the existence and practice of the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati has been compiled into one masterful book, which will clarify many of the serious misconceptions about the Illuminati. Is the Illuminati an evil organization? Do Illuminati Rituals include devil worship? Did the Illuminati advocate for the overthrow of the government? Is the elimination of Religion a core commitment of this secretive order? Did they plan for Global Depopulation? The answer to these and many more questions are contained in an exclusive interview I had with Bro. Josef Wages. He is the editor of the newly-released book The Secret School of Wisdom: The Authentic Rituals and Doctrines of the Illuminati.
