Society is Your Lodge Room

 Greetings Everyone and welcome to the Universal Freemason Research Society blog.

 We are stepping away from Facebook as that social media site tended to make writing anything with “meat on the bones” less likely from a research perspective. 

   We will use this site mainly and we hope you enjoy the format and take away something meaningful when you visit this site. 

   Today, let us consider our effects on society as we lead a Masonic life. 

   If we dig deep into our Masonic rituals and especially our initiation into our lodge, we will find many lessons to help us along through our daily lives with an understanding and strength that most in society may not possess or understand. 

 I would encourage my fellow masons to always teach these lessons to those who are not members of a lodge, you can do so without revealing words and grips and signs that we keep in the lodge room, and I would add that we SHOULD be doing so.

  We know that we should see knowledge always, even when we are traveling through the darkness of ignorance. 

 When traveling into and through darkness it is always easy to wallow in pity and wonder “why me?” 

 It is hard to find the lessons in the trials of life, but in our initiation we learned that through the trials we we greeted with light and fraternity.

 We can be a pillar of strength to our friends who are not masons by helping to convey that lesson; though there are trials in this moment, when we persevere we find fraternity with those who have been in that same darkness and we are strong when we prevail together.

  That is my words for today.

     Thank you for reading, and please follow this blog and always feel free to comment.

    See you next time!
