To truly understand Freemasonry, ground all your studies in the fundamental teachings of the First Degree. Rather than chasing after esoteric theories or collecting degrees, focus on mastering the core principles introduced when you became an Entered Apprentice. Use these foundational lessons as a lens to interpret more complex Masonic concepts, always asking how new information expands on or relates to the basics. This approach will build a coherent and profound understanding of Masonic wisdom, avoiding common pitfalls that lead many well-meaning Brothers astray.Show Notes:Read original article on SubstackFollow the Daily Masonic Progress Podcast on SpotifySubscribe to the Daily Masonic Progress Podcast on Apple PodcastsRead and subscribe to Daily Masonic Progress on SubstackWatch and Subscribe Youtube

In this episode, host Matt Bowers, 32°, talks to Bro. Bob Lelonek, 32°, Entered Apprentice catechism instructor. Craft lodge Mason in MD must stand for proficiency with memorization of the catechsim for each of the first 3 degrees. His insight and knowledge are immeasurable, as well as his commitment to getting new Masons to memorize, but also to understand the meaning behind the EA catechsim. He's a great example of leasdership for new Blue lodge masons to be around and I think you'll especially enjoy his "warm blanket" analogy.

In this Episode, Nate expands further into the science of the Masonic Pillars and the Eastern Lights. He begins with some insight regarding the Trestle Board, The Tracing Board, Encrypted Masonic Language, the Key and Care, and the Anchor. This show endeavors to shine light on the symbolic structure of consciousness within the Entered Apprentice Tracing Board in an attempt to help the student gain a greater understanding towards Natural Law, Ancient Egypt and true sovereignty.

In this episode, Nate goes further into the occult science of esoteric Freemasonry, putting a finer point on the symbolism within the "Entered Apprentice" Trestle Board. The symbols covered are the Checkerboard Floor, the Level, Plum-Rule, and Square, the 3 Greater Lights, the dot within a circle, the "Floor Plan," the 3 initiates, Jacob's Ladder, the Key, the Anchor, and the 3 Columns. Does this information conceal the timeless language back to the Ancient Monuments? Does it really help reveal the map of consciousness, symbolically? And what makes this information last the test of time?

In this episode, Nate expands on Allegory and the science behind its use. How can Allegories help us see dualistically and symbolically? It's a very interesting topic that explores the hidden aspects discovered in many literal stories whether true or fictional. But how far do allegories go? Is there truly a science that can grant us the vision to see the depths of an Allegory? Nate takes us into a place where there may be that very science. Here within this show you'll find an introduction to the Entered Apprentice, a sacred science of symbols that help pave the way towards light and Spiritual Freedom.

In the ritual of an Entered Apprentice Mason, the foundation of the work is taught through two primary symbols, known as the Working Tools: the 24-inch gauge and common gavel. Bro. John Nagy returns to share the deeper meaning of these and other Working Tools found in the degree work of Entered Apprentice.

In this episode, Nathan Lee (AKA OccultFan) returns after his Master Mason degree to talk about all kinds of stuff, from shadow people to Freemasonry and beyond. There is a lot in this episode! I am writing these show notes really quickly, so you’ll have to listen to the episode to get everything. You will not be disappointed. This episode dives into the philosophy of Freemasonry, and what it intends to teach and how Freemasons are supposed to live their lives. We compare it to classical philosophy, the practice of virtue, and how the ancient teachings have influenced the modern world. We also discuss conspiracy theories that involve Freemasonry and how likely they are to be true — this coming from actual Freemasons! Follow Nathan Lee / OccultFan on Twitter!
