The author covers a broad range of topics, covering elements of Blue Lodge, York Rite and Scottish Rite, and explores both history and symbolism in this series of papers. Some go more deeply into the esoteric symbolism and the messages hidden in the Degrees. This is a book for anyone who has an interest in the Gentle Craft, of any fraternal line, and will satisfy the need of both younger members entering the Craft with a strong idea of what they wish to learn, and the mature member who seeks to make that daily advance in knowledge.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50376583020817,"sku":"CIN0981542182G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53151714345233,"sku":"GOR014782027","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0981542182.jpg?v=1786134091"},{"product_id":"mason-s-words-book-robert-g-davis-9780615853826","title":"The Mason's Words","description":"Freemasonry is entirely built around traditions. From time immemorial, those who have belonged to the world's oldest and largest fraternal order have metaphorically passed between the pillars of Solomon's Temple to nurture within themselves a harmonious bond between tradition and modernity. This is the story of the Masonic ritual, the language and ceremonial forms that have evolved into the present structure of American Freemasonry, defined its lodge space, and offered its members the same stablizing influence of instruction that has prevailed on every continent for nearly 400 years. The reader will discover that the language of the world's oldest fraternal society has also made its own interesting journey, and been tested by the most powerful and the most humbling of men. The result is, that, in Masonic lodges across America, and, indeed, the world, men from every walk of life, of all ages, every social category and every spiritual and philosophical conviction are able to find a basis for reflection on who they are, why they are here, and what has meaning to them. By its common language delivered in a common culture of fraternal relationship, Freemasonry is enabled to exemplify a univeral brotherhood of man. This is the story of the Mason's words; the history and evolution of the American Masonic ritual. It is an interesting bit of history that is perhaps all the more fascinating because it is so rarely known.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50520856297745,"sku":"CIN061585382XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51004920365329,"sku":"NIN9780615853826","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/061585382X.jpg?v=1751360038"},{"product_id":"ten-short-mysteries-book-robert-g-davis-9781475948707","title":"Ten Short Mysteries","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Earl, Joe, and Michelle receive the call from their boss, Mr. Millo, the three employees-who are tasked to complete government research-are never sure where the assignments will take them.

Chuck Dunning, Jr. in providing thoughtful, practical, and accessible guidance for everyone interested in the utilization of contemplative practices, such as meditation, breath work, chanting, and visualization, within a Masonic setting and context. This book specifically addresses the needs of Masons seeking to facilitate or participate in group practices, learning, and support. Brother Dunning hands readers the working tools required to develop themselves as skilled contemplative practitioners, facilitators, teachers, and mentors. He provides many detailed scripts, exercises, and instructions that may be used by Masons in their Lodges or within private group settings. His three decades of experience provide wise and vital insight into the establishment and preservation of the right environment, the benefits and challenges unique to group work, and the most effective methods and approaches to ensure that participants get the most out of group contemplative practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrother Dunning's \u003cb\u003eThe Contemplative Lodge\u003c\/b\u003e picks up where his \u003cb\u003eContemplative Masonry\u003c\/b\u003e left off, offering guided exercises to engage members in a meaningful lodge experience. His ideas focus on the inner, symbolic, and speculative aspects of the Craft, encouraging members to seek balance and develop an active, meaningful relationship between themselves and 'the work'. This book provides techniques which transform the theoretical into the practical, showing how speculative and philosophical notions are actualized. Brother Dunning asks us to examine ourselves and our intentions, demonstrating that ritual and reflection (when properly understood and applied) address the needs of the individual, thus contributing to a better society.\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003cb\u003eArturo de Hoyos, 33 , Grand Cross\u003c\/b\u003e, KYCH, Grand Archivist and Grand Historian, Supreme Council, 33 , S.J.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Contemplative Lodge\u003c\/b\u003e is an essential read for every member of the Craft. Brother Dunning shows how contemplation lies at the heart of Freemasonry, providing clear, simple-to-follow instructions for Lodges that want to introduce contemplative discussion, group meditation, silent sitting, guided imagery meditation, and more. This book offers essential guidance to every Lodge seeking to encourage the exploration of its processes, symbolism, meaning, and implications for the life of the initiate. Strikingly, rather than adopting these practices from other systems, Brother Dunning looks within Freemasonry itself to find them.\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003cb\u003eAngel Millar\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eFreemasonry: Foundation of The Western Esoteric Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf your desired Lodge experience is limited to a hot meal, a reading of the minutes, and paying bills, then this is not the book for you. \u003cb\u003eThe Contemplative Lodge\u003c\/b\u003e offers the reader a blueprint for a more spiritual, a more meditative, and a more Masonic Lodge.
