Moving to a New Location

Moving to a New Location!

While Blogger has been an amazing platform for the Freemasonry Squared Team to express Masonic news, articles, papers and education for the Craft. We have deliberated and at the conclusion of our stated meeting (we like to call out monthly meeting “stated” in reference to our business meetings), the Freemasonry Squared Team is MOVING TO A NEW LOCATION and that’s not all. We currently self titled our masonic blog site [Freemasonry Squared] but in an attempt to clarify specific areas of what we do, we are rolling out:

THE SECRET CHAMBER MASONIC BLOG

The team will continue to keep our old page up for a few months while we build our archives with new masonic topics, articles, papers, news, education and more. We will also keep everyone in the loop when freemasonrysquared.blogstop.com will come down. Freemasonry Squared is growing exponentially and we continue to share new and innovative ways to bring the Craft to you, though us! We will announce publicly when The Secret Chamber Masonic Blog is published. Until then, connect with us on our various social media site for updates on the Masonic Blog. Another quick announcement, we have taken our Main website down (freemasonrysquared.org). This was done because not only are we revamping our look but are creating an educational section for master masons only FREE! Further details will be released as they come about. We thank our brethren for your support and those that enjoy what the Freemasonry Squared brings to the table.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

The Freemasonry Squared Team

10 Unique Things About Freemasonry In Black & White

1. Freemasonry doesn’t measure a man’s worth by his achievements, worldly materials or what he has accumulated; he is measured by his character and morality.

2. The fraternity transcends religious, political and ethnic bias. The Requirements for eligibility are his inner qualifications.

3. The Craft requires a belief in a “Supreme Being”, but the decision as to who or what that Supreme Being is or the secular system the candidate belongs to, is solely an individual choice. Freemasonry does not dictate or force a belief system upon an individual, any such action would be deemed un-masonic.

4. Freemasonry although philanthropic, is not a philanthropy organization. The fraternity chooses the charitable causes that it donates to. This decision is broken down on many levels from blue lodge, grand lodge and appendant bodies. A blue lodge may choose to assist their local community while an appending body, the Shriners for example, have the Shriners Hospitals.

5. While some religious organizations may have preconceived notions towards dual membership in both their organization and the masonic body, Freemasonry does not. The fraternity does not look at what church, temple or group a man adheres to, nor will it impact his eligibility. They may ask, for the simple purpose of inquiry and educating the candidate on masonic history ensuring he knows what he is getting into.

6. The teachings and lessons will only truly work if the candidate opens his heart to the precepts. Anything less is unproductive for himself and the Craft. The job of a mason is Work; if he is stagnate or not working, he should reevaluate his trestle board.

7. Freemasonry is not for everyone, the Craft requires your time… your free time at that. In a time when we’re juggling everything from family life and work, you must ask yourself: Do you have the time?

8. The Craft is a life long fraternity and brotherhood. This is something that upon inquiring, a man should reflect on.

9. Freemasonry requires tolerance and an open mind; any bigotry, racism and discrimination have no place in the fraternity. This is not to be taken that a member should only practice this precept “In Lodge”, but on the contrary, this should be practice in every aspect of a mason’s life. This isn’t to say he cannot form an opinion but that opinion should always be weighed with logic and reason.

10. Mason’s are very passionate about what they do, never under estimate what an old master mason can accomplish when he puts his mind to it.
