The Point in the Heart

Greetings Everyone!

I’m sitting and reflecting today about my initiation ceremony (so many years ago now, but so much to decipher so it’s on my mind a lot) and I became enlightened as to one meaning of being greeted with the point of the compass over the heart.

In the teachings of Kabbalah, we learn that one does not seek the spiritual in a sincere way until we reach “a point in our heart” where we realize we should seek enlightenment.

When we decipher the meaning of the compass, we learn that the compass represents that which is spiritual (the square represents that which is earthly) and we are greeted with the points of the compass over our heart.

If we view this from a kabbalistic perspective, we have entered the lodge room attaining “the point in the heart” where we realize we should seek more enlightenment, and thus, our Masonic journey towards “more light” begins!

What is your perspective regarding this?

I ramble. Here is the text from Albert Pike's Magnum Opus I read, no additions or paraphrasing: " Be faithful to your country, and prefer its dignity and honor to any degree of popularity and h
