This was simply because I just could not find the answers I was
looking for in a traditional Christian sense, which I will go over
more in detail in this book. Today I do consider myself to be a
Christian, but a much more Ancient and Mystical aspect of the word
Christian. I've been deconstructing and rebuilding my faith and
relationship with God since I was about 27 years old which was
right at 10 years of being an Atheist/Universalist and I just
couldn't get behind the modernity of organized religion, even after
studying a multitude of faiths but the One conclusion that I came to
at this point was there was a God, or a source of creation in which
all things formed and came to be. So from this point on I decided to
dedicate my life to not only finding God, but also searching for the
One true religion, which is the religion of Truth in itself. I found
what I believe to be innefable Truth and this book will be my
discoveries of what led me to the mystical aspect of Christianity in
which I never knew existed outside of being lied to that most of
these traditions were deems "evil" or "blasphemous" which I believe
is maticulous and strategic and by the time you're finished with this
text I'm sure you will have opened up gates within your mind and
begin to question everything.
I have always been a sceptical individual, an alternative person
from my outward appearance and even the way my brain has
always opperated for as long as I can remember. This is probably
why nothing "normal" or the status quo ever sat right with me
when it's quite clear how much we're lied to by some if not the most
influencial organizations. I used to believe that one of these
institutions was Freemasonry, as any conspiracy theorist eventually
comes across the massive amounts of misinformation flooding the

the world" in their grass cutting shoes and cargo shorts gave me a
good laugh. I often found myself commenting on these videos and
attempting to correct these notions, but with limited characters in
the comment section, and responses from a bunch of the peanut
gallery conspiracy "nuts" as I like to call them (since I consider
myself a conspiracy theorist) commenting back to me I eventually
got fed up with walking into the lions den and just stopped
commenting or skipping the videos entirely. It wasn't until I finally
came across a video where a content creator made a video about
Freemasonry, and mentioned how Freemason lodges are being
"purposely and maliciously burned all across the world" but almost
in a rhetoric of condoning this behavior. The video itself was one
thing, but the comment section was extremely violent and cheering
on for arson, and even violence against people myself and many
others call Brothers. This didn't sit right with me, I couldn't stand
the idea of some whack job due to blatant misinformation go on a
vigilante spree and hear about an elder Brother get injured or
worse, so I decided to take action and make my first video in
response.
Slowly since then, I started gaining more and more followers
the more videos I made, and even formed a new niche on the app
where thousands of Brothers who were already on the app found a
virtual community of Brethren all across the world. We banded
together to essentially not only take back the hashtags using
Freemasonry but even formed and grew #ThisIsFreemasonry along
with many other hashtags like it with the mission of spreading
Truth and Knowledge about the Fraternity, and my expertise was
debunking the nonsense and outlandist claims against Freemasonry
which was ultimately my personal reason for joining the fraternity,

The Story begins when I was just a kid. Just like most of us, we
end up going to a parade and seeing the old guys driving the go
karts and "bucket hats" atleast as I liked to call them. It wasn't until
way later in life that I would find out these men were called
Shriners and their sole purpose was to aid and assist less fortunate
children with healthcare at the Shriners hospitals, but as a kid I
obviously had no clue what any of this meant. My now deceased
Father had a good friend named Olan, whom I considered to be an
"extra Grandpa" of sorts was one of these old men with the funny
hats. I was very young but I still have great memories of Olan just
always treating me and my siblings as one of his own and was a
major influence on my Father. My Father never joined a lodge, even
though he aspired to be a Freemason his life unfortunately ended at
age 42 back in December of 2005, just 5 days before Christmas. I

was only 14 at the time with a 16 year old sister, and a 4 year old
brother and a now Widowed Mother. Olan was there for us to the
best of his abilities along with his wife, because one of the greatest
truths I learned about Freemasonry after joining was the heavy
influence of aiding to Widows and Orphans. I grew up in a not
wealthy family setting with parents who although had their vices
still struggled but did what they could for us. We were a moderate
Christian family, and my Father passed away a saved man free
from all his vices due to a heart condition he had since he was a
child but somehow managed to live 42 years and start our family.
Long story short, we were members of the local Methodist
church and the Pastor did come to visit us the morning of his
passing. It was comforting to think we had the support of the
church, and it was decided that was where we would have his
memorial service. He was a long time Barber at the local Barber
Shop and was somewhat of a local celebrity as he cut everyone and
their sons hair in the town and even extended out of town in places
he lived throughout his life, so needless to say his memorial service
packed out with people to celebrate the life of the great Tony Hall.
The church provided a beautiful (but costly) service and we felt the
love and support, but it didn't really feel like it lasted long. The
church shortly after stopped checking in on us, and felt almost as if
they were supportive just to make sure they ended up getting the
commission for the memorial service and then we were just on our
own. Three children and an unemployed Widow, but sap stories
aside I remember Olan still reaching out and doing what he could to
help. It wasn't until way later that I would discover that him being
a Shriner also meant that he was a Freemason.

lines of "Well, God just tends to favor some people more.." with a
pompous attitude since he was able to and I wasn't. It was in that
moment I swore I'd never go to a church service again.
So the vast amount of religious nonsense I had to put up with,
on top of the church of my Fathers memorial service, and then
finally this I had officially given up on Christianity, but kept my
faith as an individual. I studied the bible myself, taught other kids
my age and even saved a few friends but eventually I kind of just
stopped caring so much. More things kept going wrong over the
next couple years and I eventually became an Agnostic relieving
myself of the Christian title but still holding a belief in God. This
eventually turned into becoming a full blown Atheist and it was
what I at the time described was the fault of the world and what all
had happened to me and that there was no way a God would just
allow all this to happen to someone dedicated to them, and more
especially all the hypocracy and superiority complexes I saw in
church. This opened up a door in me for the next 10 years of
rebellious behavior, and even exploring the idea of other religions
and belief systems. Pretty much anything peaceful I could get my
hands on as long as it wasn't Christianity. I studied everything from
Hinduism, to LeVayan Satanism but still claiming to nothing as far
as a religious title goes just because I was convinced by the church
that all of these things were just flat out evil but upon strict trial I
found myself seeing the exact opposite. This secured my open
mindedness and led me to believe that all religions are more alike
than different but I was ok just being an Atheist.
Let's fast forward to when I started tattooing back in 2011. I
had just started my apprenticeship and I worked with a man of

was interveiwed at the lodge, and one thing stuck out to me when I
was asked about my belief in God I wanted to over explain my
beliefs and they politely said "The details aren't important, just as
long as you believe in God you're good." Which confirmed the open
mindedness and felt no sense of cultish feelings I felt in a church
setting.
I remember my initiation night, I was too excited to be
completely nerveous but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nerveous at
all. Actually, I was so excited nerveous I could feel the sweat
dripping down my back but I think I played it off very well. I was
met by fellow members of the lodge who were very welcoming and
cracking jokes about goats and other stereo types from the elder
members but was assured I was in good hands. I knew nothing was
going to harm me, and all my research I decided to digest over the
years I never looked at the degrees themself because I wanted the
full experience. It was amazing to say the least. By the time the
degree was finished I knew I had made the right decision and all I
wanted to do was learn more. Every degree, every lecture was so
intriguing and thought provacative that I couldn't help but want to
continue learning. But the most profound thing that stuck out to me
was the night of my Master Mason degree and I was given the my
Masonic Bible, which is simply just a verbatim King James Bible,
and was given the Bible lecture.
It was the most beautiful lecture I had ever heard about the
Bible and then they handed it to me and basically just said "It's
yours, read it, put it up, do whatever you want with it.." basically
and I was taken off by this. So many questions ran through my
head.. Why was the Bible held to such a high standard in a
17

universal based fraternity? Why are they not telling me what I have
to believe in the Bible? No forced doctrine or rules or anything?
What is this sorcery?! For the first time I felt like I could be myself
in a judgement free zone and study how I wanted to, with men who
don't just talk about it but actually aid to Widows and Orphans and
take care of their communities and not have anything forced on me
or interfere with my personal beliefs. This notion of the Bible being
such a high standard in Freemasonry, even amongst the members of
my lodge who were part of other appendant bodies such as Scottish
Rite and the renowned 33rd Degree, which I found out I had a few
members at my lodge who were 33rd degree in the Scottish Rite
which I'll get into later on in this book, but even they individually
held the Bible to such a high standard. This all inspired me to start
studying the Bible again, and eventually allow Christ back into my
life.
How is this possible? If Freemasonry amongst many Christian
sects in the world are taught and led to believe Freemasonry is so
sinister and evil, then why through my intense years of study before
and after becoming a Freemason help lead me back to Christ?
Because for me personally, based on my individual experience,
within Freemasonry contains all the shrouded mysteries and Truth
of the true "Christian" faith which I will now go into more detail in
the preceeding chapter. I can without a doubt confirm for me that I
found the innefable Truth I had been searching for my entire life.
Take it as you will.

history have had religious beliefs that include Jesus. In fact, some
of the rituals and symbolism used in Freemasonry draw on biblical
stories and imagery, including those related to Jesus. However, the
organization itself does not have any official teachings or doctrines
related to Jesus or any particular religious figure.
It was originally a requirement to be a Christian when
Freemasonry was first organized in 1717, but changed shortly after
to accept men of all faith. The original Grand Lodge of England,
which is considered the birthplace of modern Freemasonry, required
only that its members believe in a Supreme Being and the
immortality of the soul. This allowed men of various religions,
including Christians, Jews, and Muslims, to join the organization.
However, it is worth noting that during the early years of
Freemasonry, the majority of its members were likely to be
Christians, as Christianity was the dominant religion in the
countries where Freemasonry first emerged. As the organization
spread to other parts of the world, it became more diverse, with
members of different religions and cultures joining. Today,
Freemasonry is a global organization with members from a wide
variety of religious and cultural backgrounds, and its requirements
for membership remain focused on moral character and a belief in a
Supreme Being, rather than any particular religious affiliation.
However according to the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament,
Jesus was referred to as a "tekton" in Greek, which is often
translated as "carpenter" in English. However, the term could also
be translated as "builder" or "craftsman". Some scholars believe that
"tekton" could refer to someone who worked with stone as well as

essential and fundamental, from which the other letters are derived.
They are also associated with the three primary forces of creation:
expansion, contraction, and equilibrium, respectively.
According to Kabbalistic tradition, the three mother letters of
Aleph ()א, Mem ()מ, and Shin ( )שare considered the primary letters
of creation. From these three letters, the other 22 letters of the
Hebrew alphabet were said to be derived.
The letter Aleph ( )אis associated with the element of air, and
represents the power of breath and expansion. It is considered the
most essential of all the letters, and from it were derived the three
"mother" letters, as well as the seven "double" letters: Bet ()ב,
Gimel ()ג, Dalet ()ד, Kaf ()כ, Pe ()פ, Resh ()ר, and Tav ()ת.
The letter Mem ( )מis associated with the element of water, and
represents the power of fluidity and change. It is considered the
second most essential letter, and from it were derived the remaining
12 "simple" letters: Hei ()ה, Vav ()ו, Zayin ()ז, Het ()ח, Tet ()ט,
Yod ()י, Lamed ()ל, Nun ()נ, Samech ()ס, Ayin ()ע, Tzadi ()צ, and
Qof ()ק.
Finally, the letter Shin ( )שis associated with the element of
fire, and represents the power of transformation and purification. It
is considered the third most essential letter, and is associated with
the three dimensions of space: height, width, and depth.
Together, the three mother letters and the 22 derived letters of
the Hebrew alphabet were believed to represent the fundamental
building blocks of the universe, and the pathways through which
divine energy flows into the physical world.

consider it with an open heart, it could change your life too. It takes
a certain level of Understanding to truly obtain Wisdom and all of
Her Splendour but when you get it, cling on to Her and never let
go. I've never felt the pure sense of Uncondtional Love of God this
intense and that is the Feminine Nature of our Creator. The
nurtering aspect that only a Loving Mother could show a pure
example of but on a Cosmic Scale. Some call Wisdom by the name
Sophia, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, the Holy Spirit, the Ruach
HaKodesh, the Shekinah, or simply the Divine Feminine. I
personally refer to Her as The Supernal Mother, and she is what I
describe as the Christian Goddess, or the Bride to the Bridegroom
mentioned in Revelation.
To me, she is not personified, but more so the Essence of
everything Jesus taught through parable. She is the equalibrium of
the creative and feminine nature of our brain, symbolically married
to the perfected masculine or carnal side of our brain that teaches
men the Beauty of Unconditional Love that we seek outside of
ourselves regularly not realizing it's been within us the whole time.
Something similar to how the Master Christ Jesus said himself "the
Kingdom of Heaven is within you". This does not correspond to
Christian doctrine or canon, and is my own personal experience and
belief system so take this information as you wish. Now, lets dive
into it.

Shin Tav being 700 is also the Chai Roh in Greek numerical

the lower 5 lumbar where we “sit down” (shin tav), 12 thoracic

spine (1+2=3), and 7 upper cervical conceals the 8 nerves and all
leading to 1 brain, or CPU (chapeau) which conceals the invisible
9th being Christ Consciousness. 22 bones in your skull conceals the
brain, 33 vertebra conceals the central nerves, total of 55 bones. 5
plus 5 is 10 because it all leads back to 1 brain, and 1 invisible
consciousness being 11 which is Daat, and 2 is Chokmah which is
divine Wisdom and Knowledge.
The 22 bones of the skull attached to the 33 bones of the spine,
totaling 55. Combining the numbers into letters you get the Hebrew
word “Qabal-Geenah” which means “Garden Cable”, and Qabal also
means “to receive” which explains the cable tow when receiving the
light. Add a “Heh” and it’s pronounced “Qabala-Geenah”
(Kabbalah) which means to receive the garden. Respectively we see
a correspondence in Deuteronomy 30:5 (3+0+5=8).

In conclusion, as mentioned at the beginning of this chapter the
human anatomy is extremely complex, and this is essentially just
scratching the surface. But there's one thing I hope that everyone
reading this can understand is the simple fact that if it were not for
the principality of the feminine nature of not only our universe, the
animal kingdom, nature itself or even our loved ones that simply
nothing would exist. It is a fact that every human being in existence
is born of a women who took on the super power of concieving,
growing, and nurturing this complex system we've coined a human
body. This extends further into nature and the animal kingdom as
well, and even extends to how the bible states that we were born of
the earth. Jesus taught that we are to be "born again" and I feel this
has been reduced to a simple acceptance and obedience to modern
doctrine but is missing a plethora of mystical interpretation as he
tried to explain this to Nicodemus. God created "male and female"
or more properly understood "masculine and feminine" principals in
the creation story of all things, and then God manifested as Adam
but also Eve as consort but equal to Adam. Logically we can
conclude that as everyone of us that's ever existed was born from a
women, even Jesus Himself, so in order to be "born again" I think
it's logical to conclude the only way that is possible is by being born

“murder and treason” was committed, he made the choice to tell the
truth in painful sorrow to his wife. Lemech also just so happens to
be the father of tubalcain! But what does this mean? If he was the
first know artificer in metals, was he responsible for creating the
weapon that took his life? Why does this apply to masonry? Does it
actually apply to masonry? I was left with more questions than
answers but I was dead set to find out the mystery behind this
character. So I preceded to seek further light.
I started with Bro, Albert Mackey’s encyclopedia and History of
Freemasonry, where I discovered a bit more understanding in the
origins of Tubal-Cain inside of Freemasonry. I’d like to share from

an earlier date, we can trace the true source of the Legend in its
Masonic form, which could not be done until that manuscript was
published.
To the Cooke MS. has been accorded the date of 1490. It differs
materially in form and substance from the Halliwell MS., which
preceded it by at least a century, and is the first of the Old
Constitutions in which anything like the present form of the Legend
appears.
The way in which the Legend of Lamech is treated by it, enables us
to dicover the true source whence this part of the Legend of the
Craft was derived.
It must be remarked, in the first place, that the Halliwell poem, the
earliest of the old manuscripts, the date of which is not later than
the close of the 14th century, contains no allusion to this Legend of
Lamech and his children. The Cooke MS. is the first one in which
we find the details. The Cooke MS. is assigned, as has been before
said, to the end of the 15th century, about the year 1490. In it the
Legend of the pillars is given (from line 253 to 284) in the
following words:

(2) It is to be regretted that in nearly all the recent printed copies of
the old manuscripts, the editors have substituted the double ff for
the capital F which is in the original. The scribes or amanuenses of
the Middle Ages were fond of employing capital letters often when
there was really no use for them, but they never indulged in the
folly of unnecessarily doubling initial letters. What the modern
editors of the manuscripts have mistaken for a double ff was really
the ff or ff the capital F of the scribes. This is not of much
importance, but even in small things it is well to be accurate. Bro.
Hughan, in his edition of the "Old Charges," is, as we might expect,
generally correct in this particular. But sometimes, perhaps
inadvertently, he has printed the double instead of the capital

Comparing this Legend with the passage that has been cited
from Josephus, it is evident that the Legend-maker had not derived
his story from the Jewish historian. The latter attributes the

CHAPTER 8
The Mystery of Tubal-Cain
and his Symbolic Meaning
in Freemasonry (Lodge Lecture:
Here we find the origin of the story of the two pillars as related in
the Legend of the Craft. But how can we account for the change of
the constructors of these pillars from the children of Seth, as stated
in Josephus, and from him in the Polychronicon, to the children of
Lamech, as it is given in the Legend ? By the phrase "That tyme
men wyste," or "at that time men knew," with which Trevisa begins
his translation of that part of Higden's work, he undoubtedly
referred to the "tyme" contemporary with the children of Seth, of
whom he had immediately before been speaking. But the writer of
the Legend engaged in recounting the narrative of the invention of
the sciences by the children of Lamech, and thus having his
attention closely directed to the doings of that family, inadvertently,
as I suppose, passed over or omitted to notice the passage
concerning the descendants of Seth, which had been interposed by
the author of the Polychronicon, and his eye, catching the account
of the pillars a little farther on, he applied the expression, "that
tyme," not to the descendants of Seth, but to the children of
Lamech, and thus gave the Masonic version of the Legend.
I have called this ascription of the pillars to the children of
Lamech a "Masonic version," because it is now contained only in the
Legend of the Craft, those who do not reject the story altogether as
a myth, preferring the account given by Josephus. But, in fact, the
error of misinterpreting Josephus occurred long before the Legend
of the Craft was written, and was committed by one of the most
learned men of his age. St. Isidore, Bishop of Seville, who died in
the year 636, was the author of many works in the Latin language,

"In the year of the world 1642, Lamech being 190 years old, begat
Noah, who, in the five hundredth year of his age, is commanded by
the Divine oracle to build the Ark. In these times, as Josephus
relates, those men knowing that they would be destroyed either by
fire or water, inscribed their knowledge upon two columns made of
brick and of stone, so that the memory of those things which they
had wisely discovered might not be lost. Of these columns the stone
one is said to have escaped the Flood and to be still remaining in
Syria."

turn the other cheek over falling victim to our old barbaric nature of

The globes above Boaz and Jachin are defined as the terrestrial

spiritual) globe representing beauty, and us in the center
representing wisdom in pursuit of further light.. ‘and God said let
there be light, and there was light, and it was good..’ This can all be
found in order of each degree in which we were positioned when we
took our obligations such as follows:

CHAPTER 8
The Mystery of Tubal-Cain

liberal arts & sciences, to weapon and metal forging, alchemical and
esoteric interpretations led me to this: Tubal Cain is a symbol of our
barbaric nature in early manhood of antiquity or even in our own
lives if we don’t learn to subdue our angry and bitter passions
within our egotistic nature (which we learn to remove in the first
degree). Becoming that upright balanced pillar of strength in light
of not only our fraternity but in the site of the Great Architect,
rather than falling to our barbaric nature of darkness.
The Great architect is always with you, brethren. We know
this from Matthew 18:20 and I quote, “For where two or three or
more are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them..”,
just like in our opening prayer. In Luke 17:21 it is written “Neither
shall they say, lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is
within you!” We can see that SPECIFICALLY it is written “two or
three..” and the kingdom is within us that this indicates that God IS
always with us, never turns His back on us, and we are never truly
alone. This is the beauty and nature of our creator, whom only we
by the laws of ego will turn our backs on our creator. That feeling
of joy we get when we feel the presence of the Creator is the
presence and state of Yirah (Awe) and it will never abandon you
long as you keep facing towards the light which is why we as
Freemasons face the east where the sun rises from, and never turn
our backs to the east even as the moon appears in the night.
The moon is also a symbol of this servitude, as it continues to face
the light even in the darkness of the night. It then becomes
illuminated while it’s back is the shadow.
81
CHAPTER 8
The Mystery of Tubal-Cain
and his Symbolic Meaning
in Freemasonry (Lodge Lecture:
While the sun constantly illuminates the light from the sun in
perfect harmony and servitude to the Creators subjection with no
‘hesitation of mind’. Just as the moon never turns its back on the
sun, we learn from this that we who have free will are the only ones
who can turn our backs to the light but light will still continue to
shine on us just as the Creator will never abandon us. It’s our own
choices that can potentially turn us into disobedient children that
turns our backs to the light of the Lord that never stops shining
that divine light regardless which direction we choose to face.
Every choice we make as upright Master Masons comes down to
darkness and light but we become that center pillar of wisdom and
rise above duality. Becoming a symbolic double edged sword for
God Almighty and lifting up our brethren to make the righteous
choice - when tubalcain forged iron weapons for barbaric manhood,
we forge ourselves into iron weapons and put in the armor of God -
as it is written in the book of Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens
iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend”. No longer
do we dispute barbarically with our brothers or ourselves, as we’re
reminded by the trowel to turn the other cheek, spread brotherly
love and best work and agree. Are we going to remain angry with
our brethren? Our neighbor? Or ourselves, under the worldly
possession of pride? Fall victim to our barbaric nature and break
our beloved obligation bound by a sacred oath to the Great
Architect of the Universe, or are we going to turn our other cheek?
Are we going to forge weapons of internal spiritual or combative

as a cornerstone upon returning to the lodge. Jesus was offered the
pentacle of the temple, or the south east corner of the temple, but
refused for the right hand or north east corner of the heavenly
kingdom while being tempted in the wilderness. Jesus was tempted
in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights, sun and moon
symbolism and totaling 80 mathematically, and was tempted in the
“pentacle” of the tabernacle or the temple. A pentacle is a 5 pointed
star which is why we have a blazing star where we took our
obligation, in correspondence to the 5 perfect points of entrance,
and the 5 sections of the body being arms, legs, and head or the
upright YHVH as mentioned before.
The shin has 3 points forming a crown and crown is Kether on
the kabbalistic tree of “life” where life again corresponds to Eve.
The Holy Saints John are significant to the beginning of Yeshua’s
salvation gospel being baptized in water, and is ended in revelation
the promise of baptized by fire, and fire happens to be and
equilateral triangle facing upwards towards the sun which is
anciently speaking made of fire. This explains the Sun and the
Moon, or “male and female” mentioned in Genesis, or the beginning,
and the Bride and the Bridegroom in revelation, or the end. The
divine masculine and feminine.
Yeshua (Salvation) and Hawwah (life) in English has 12
letters, but in Hebrew has 7 total letters corresponding to the 7
liberal arts and sciences, the 7th being astronomy or the study of
the zodiac. This also corresponds to the 7 days of creation, and 7
seals of revelation, as well as the 7 sockets within our skulls. This

being our ears, eyes, nose, and mouth which corresponds to the 5
senses mentioned in the winding staircase and added together we
get the number 11 again. If we double this number given male and
female, we get 22 that corresponds to the letters in the Hebrew
alphabet, as well as we have exactly 22 bones in our skulls, or
“Golgotha” meaning place of the skull. When we divide the number
22 from 7 we get the number 3.14, which is pie. When we add
those numbers together we yet again get the number 8. When we
triple this number being the third or center pillar as children of God
we get the number 33, which corresponds to the 33 vertebrae of
our spine. When we add the 22 bones of the skull to the 33 bones of
the spine we get the number 55. When we add the respective
Hebrew letters to these 3 sets of numbers we get 6 letters.
If we group these letters into groups of 3 we get 2 Hebrew
words that translates to “Cabala Gina” which translates to “to
receive the garden” or can be pronounced “cabal gina” which
translates to “garden cable” such as a cable tow we are all familiar
with. This is the sacred secretion also known as the christening that
happens in our bodies once a month or “moonth” that scientifically
corresponds with the moon cycle, the oil that runs down our 33
vertebrae of our spine, from our brain, to our hearts and to the base
of our spine which transmutes our blood into purified water state.
All 3 in correspondence to the 3 penalties of our obligations. This
also is in correspondence to why we meet once a month, as our
bodies produce this secretion once a Moonth according to our
individual moon cycle and birth chart. Is it a coincidence that we
happen to read the verse psalm 133? I think not.

When you raise your arms over your head in a circle, your brain
becomes the point within the circle. When you do the same around
your torso down to your waist, your heart becomes the point within
the circle as well as the cradling position of how we hold an infant
in the section of the body that creates life by our hands. These 2
circles creates an 8, masculine and feminine creates two forms of
8’s and the circle is the circle of life being the zero of the 808.
When we hug our loved ones, we see this repeated, respectively.
We usually hug one around the neck, the other around the torso
forming a point within a circle. Sometimes we use a third position
where our arms form an X which creates an infinity symbol with
our arms and 4 legs becoming the 4 corners, or pillars, of the world.
A man who’s fiery in nature as one pillar, and a women whom
like water has 3 forms being liquid, solid and vapor, nurtured us as
mothers and wives, distinctively and fills our spirit with
unconditional love. Thus making us an upright 5 perfect pointed
star, standing tall on 4 pillars and one union of a simple hug and the
3 attributes of 2 sets of hands clasping together, and 2 hearts
becoming one, even for just a moment, creates 3 points, thus adding
the 5 points of the body, and the 3 points of contact forming the 8
all over again. This simple hug creates a magic spark that we have
reduced to simply being a hug, but this spiritual union becomes a
gesture of unconditional love and every time we act upon acts of

any form of unconditional love, our creator yet again says “let there
be light”. Unconditional means, no strings attached and this level of
understanding the greatest power of all is what will truly bring
peace and harmony to the world.
Why has freemasonry been a male only Fraternity? Because
men need to discover the divine feminine within themselves and
within all things outside and around him rather than simply clinging
to just masculine understanding and barbaric nature. To not only
love his God, his family and friends, but equally himself as well.
Unconditionally love is what every human deserves, and it’s our
responsibility as men to discover and share this with others. I found
this starting with the inside my of my Masonic Mother Lodge.
Being raised to a widows son, well who is the widow? A man can be
a widowed father himself.. Isaiah 50 (5 being the 5 points of the
blazing star and human body, doubled being masculine and
feminine, mother and father, sun and moon, etc being 10, 5
multiplies fruitfully 10 times becoming 50) “Thus saith the LORD,
Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put
away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your
transgressions is your mother put away.”
Unconditional love comes from the nurturing of the divine
feminine aspect being 3 things in 1, and we become complete and
Very Good men just as the Lord declared that everything he created
in 7 days was “very good”. Just as 133 of psalm is 1+3+3 is 7.
