Brethren are welcome.
***EUCLID – THE TRADITION CONTINUES***
Dear Brethren,
The process of, "fitting ourselves, as living stones for
that spiritual building, that house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens," requires that we, as Speculative
Masons and living stones, move from an imperfect or
imbalanced state of being (rough ashlar) to a more perfect or
balanced state of being (perfect ashlar) while laboring in the
quarries of King Solomon’s Temple toward the achievement
of our ultimate goal - our “Magnus Opus” - the “Grand
Arcanum” otherwise known as the “Great Work”. If you
recall, I stated in the previous month’s message, that the
process of moving from an imperfect state of being to a more
perfect state of being requires a dedicated study of the seven
liberal arts and sciences and overcoming of the passions by
means of a steadfast and willful application of cleansing, selfdenial, diet, exercise, meditation, and prayer. “Why?” You
might ask. Well, the answer is quite simple, in order that we
may be better enabled to reach equilibrium of mind, body,
and spirit, that is to say, a regulation of our thoughts,
management of our emotions, and observation of our actions
with all mankind, especially the brethren. You see,
brethren, balance or equilibrium of mind, body, and spirit, is
perhaps the most integral, least talked about aspect vital to
the overall success and management of the selftransformative process regarded in esoteric circles the world
over as the “Great Work”. Now, in light of this fact, the
following question should be considered: If equilibrium is the
most integral, least talked about aspect vital to the overall
success and management of the self- transformative process
regarded in esoteric circles the world over as the “Great
Work”, then how exactly are we, as Speculative Masons, to
maintain equilibrium of mind, body and spirit, when faced with
the irregularities of the outside world? Well, the answer is
quite simple, through the careful, deliberate and
indiscriminate use of the operative tools of our craft - the
working tools of our profession: The 24” gauge, common
gavel, plumb, level, square and trowel. In order so that we
may at all times, “circumscribe our desires and keep our
passions in due bounds with all mankind, especially the
brethren."
Most Fraternally in Light,
Luis A. Torres, Jr.
