Thank you for this channel. I know it’s gone dark for a bit, but for us that seek light, this information is invaluable. I am entered tomorrow night and both anxious and excited at the same time.
how did it go?

A possible topic: Lodge names and their origin, meaning, or significance.
Just found this channel, really enjoyed this video. Thank you, I look forward to seeing more. I feel you have a lot of information stored up there, you seem to really enjoy your freemasonry. S&F
I really do, thank you for noticing and for finding the channel and commenting. Hope to "see" you around more!
thank you anyway for taking the time to reply. have a great day and be blessed.
i dont talk about the lodge nor identify my self out of a lodge. however , my states license plate is emblemed
Let’s just say I’m very GLAD to have your videos of GOOD information Pop back up in my suggestion LIsT !
I’m still trying to become a “ free and accepted member “
Not too many “ Jared’s “ down here where I am but I’m still in search of “light “ 🤘🏼🤘🏽👁...
“Thank you brother “
Keep sending these videos to my suggestions and I will gladly appreciate the knowledge
hey good day sir. love your channel. very informative. I hail from PR#12 here in The Bahamas. I have one question for you . do Masons always hail on the 1st?
You are not really necessarily have to be invited to become a mason. It's up to you to join.
I have an interesting question for you, and I’m hoping you can shed some light on this. Here in the United States the volume of sacred law we find on our altar is the holy Bible unless otherwise requested. If a brother believes in God, but does not identify with organized religion, is his obligation still valid if the Bible is the closest to his belief system? Even though he doesn’t necessarily believe all of its words?
For me, personally, the answer is yes. However, due to our multiple jurisdictional issues, I would suggest reaching out to an authority in your state to get a clear for-sure answer.
The Rockstar Farmer we are very religious tolerant. I agree with what is a mason. If it’s close then yes. We still encourage him to have faith with god
Good question. What do you mean with the term "obligation"?
You dont have to believe all of its words. The bible is not necessarily just for the believers of the word. Its actually more for the non believers.
What a person gets out of the bible really reflects on how a person approaches the bible.
It is not a quick read.
It is a life time study.
Masonry does not require that you read or know the bible. It only presents it, as well as other holy books, that you might open the pages and find peace or improve your life in some way.
Masonry does not require that you read the bible, but it hopes that you do.
For in it is a great message to the one that can see.
Are modes of recognition established at the Grand Lodge level or at the lodge level?
They are part of the principle landmarks of Freemasonry - established 300 years ago.
@@WhatisaMason or almost 500 years in Ireland
Do you know specifically who the member or members were that established these? @@WhatisaMason
A little late to the party on this one but here is my question and a little bit of context.
I have known a mason through family connections for 6-7 years. I told him that I want to petition to join his lodge and I have begun going to his lodge whenever I can to get to know the other masons there. Now the petition requires that I have two masons vouch for my character and if I’m not mistaken they must each have known me for at least 1 year.
Do I have to continue going to the lodge I wish to join for 1 year as a visitor before someone can sign my petition?
It is very possible that you will have to. It is also possible that the lodge will move forward before then.
Thanks for the quick reply. Your videos have been very eye opening and very educational for me as a person curious about the craft.
I have my entered apprentice degree tonight. These are great informative videos thanks for putting them out there.
Excellent - enjoy it!
Have fun, 1 st degree is great to go through
Is There An Age Limit Coming Into Masonary?
@@patmax9005 it's jurisdictional. You'll have to contact your local lodge or Grand Lodge.

Hello Brother Jared, wanted you to know I still enjoy your video's a lot. I appreciate the hard work you put into it. Keep up the very nice work. Fraternal regards from Holland, Ruben
Thank you Brother Ruben, I appreciate your kind words.
Also, before walking the chairs, advice would be to learn the "floor work" for each Degree and get the Patent for Each. Then go through the chairs with confidence.
Our jurisdiction does not give a "patent" for the floor work. I presume that is some sort of proficiency certification?
Why so secretive!?
My grandpa was a mason when i was little - remember asking my grandma what they do. She said just a bunch of guys that meet together and help the community.
Also had a cousin that was a pastor and a mason. Asked him why he joined. He replied he kind of regretted it and did it to help his chances of getting a quality job. At the very least there's some suspicious rituals--
So ultimately why all the secrets?
Because what they do in secret would put them all behind bars for the rest of their lives , your grandpa did some messed up stuff and was good at hiding it.
@@PowerfulChanges Don't believe he was ranked high enough to know all the secrets, but guess I'll never know 4 sure- he passed away
Fraternal greetings from a Brother from Justice-Columbia Lodge no. 3 in DC!
Greetings, Brother!
Greetings brother
Fraternal embrace my brother
Hey brother i asked a question a while ago in regards to masons wearing masonic jewelry and clothing. When you should or shouldn't etc.
Perhaps I addressed that in this video? ruclips.net/video/IG_TAwgMNYI/видео.html&index=43&list=PLsiaPo6wAGHT-_qlNyDjuN6KroJ01lXTm
What is a Mason Thank you brother, I stand corrected.
What do you do if you feel as if you arent learning much in your home lodge? Can you leave that lodge to go to another that you feel will teach you better/more?
Yes, you can join another lodge if you wish. There are also numerous study programs you could opt-in on, books you can read, lodges of research to join, publications to subscribe to... many options. For what it is worth, I am a proponent of you becoming a learned Freemason, and then bringing that education into your lodge and building up your local Brethren, rather than just moving on to something else - but you can!
Hi Jared, What is your personal view on other freemason order which so called Irregular/clandestine like the mixed order accepting women. how do you approach or respond to someone who belongs to those order if they will greet you? what is your personal opinion?
I have found many books about masonry. Having just been raised a few months back could you recommend something that you have found to be most useful? I know this question is difficult due to the amount of information that is available. Maybe a video on the subject could be helpful to myself and others?
I can try do to a video on it, but in the meantime, I usually refer people to this list: scottishrite.org/members/masonic-education/suggested-reading/
most Freemasons ignore the real core of this cult : at 33rd degree, it's a Luciferian initiation of NON SERVIAM... that's where the deceit lies
troy skeese try the Bible
Troy a good friend/master mason who mentored me gave me many books about the history and traditions of masonry. One of my most favorite is called born in blood. It details the origins and reasons for many things in masonry. Added bonus if youare struggling to learn the work it has it set out for you step by step and through each degree.
My my great-great-grandpa Robert Cole form Toledo Ohio was a mason but he died a week ago.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Are you hoping to follow in his footsteps by becoming a Freemason one day?
Ok I got my petition, filled it out and they request that I have two master mason's sign my petion. So I'm stuck. My wife's family was masons and I'd be in but they are past. What do I do now? Indiana...
Tell the lodge so. Let them know you aren't sure if you know anybody who is a Freemason. If you don't, they'll find a way. Maybe have you have supper with the lodge a few times, etc., whatever it takes to "get to know you" so they can sign the petition for you.
very good and informative videos you have. i have a question
i wanted to know if there is any connection between the ' elks lodges and masonic lodges " ?
i read up on the history of the elks lodge and they took alot from the masons but i want to know do they do similar rituals and do they only get specific information at every stage their in, and not be able to have or know about the levels above them like the masons ? and do they have the same core beliefs? i really would appreciate it if you can answer me back. thank you for your time and information.
Thank you for the compliment, but I am going to have to let you down about the Elks. I just don't know. They used to have a lodge in the town I work in, but it shut down some years ago. According to their website, the closest one is over an hour away. And, the only way I know to answer your question is to ask an Elk.
My understanding is that the Elks, and hundreds of others of Fraternal organizations, cropped up after various anti-masonic movements. Men wanted to join something, so when one was condemned, another popped up. The general outline and structure of those new organizations followed after what the men had experience with, naturally.
Sorry I couldn't help more! If I ever meet an Elk, I'll ask 'em!
Appreciate it so much I would love to know more
There are over 100 videos for you to watch here. I hope you enjoy them all.
Brother thank you for your channel. Question: What do think are the most important issues facing freemasonry today? What can we do to help? Question 2: What topics are most important for lodges to focus on in terms of Masonic education?
I love the Q's, thank you. I will put them on my list!
Just did my first degree and my questions can’t be on here soooo do we email. But then again I can always ask the worsh nvm you know what I mean
Indeed, I do. Many times the only solution is a face-to-face meeting.
HelLo, is there a mode where an introduction, a handshake might identify a FREEMASON?
Thank you.
It would work for a Freemason to a Freemason, but not for a non-Mason to find a Freemason to ask how they can join.
Is there a book or something like that to help with practice or is it only word of mouth?
unknown error
It depends on your jurisdiction. Some are strictly mouth to ear and others have book with the ritual in code or partly in code.
Here in MS new Master Masons are generally issued, or can purchase, a Blue Lodge Text Book, which has some, but not all, of the ritual work written down. What is written down in there is what I share on these videos, which is how I know I stay in line with the laws of my jurisdiction.
Some states have ciphers, which include ALL of the work, but are in code.
IMO, the best way to learn is still by mouth and repetition.
'How old is your mother' is a favourite question of enquiry in Scotland meaning what is the number of your mother lodge
Ha! I love this... will have to try it out in out district.
On the subject of recognising Freemasons by rings lapel badges etc. I am not a Freemason but I wear a lapel badge of the compass and square with the letter G in the centre as it is also an emblem in the Royal Black Institution which is a Protestant Fraternal Order based mainly in Northern Ireland where I live but have some" Preceptories" in other countries including USA and Canada. To be in the Black Institution you have to first be an Orangeman and then a Royal Arch Purple man . One time I attended a charity barbecue at a local Masonic Hall where I got into a conversation with a Freemason who was a Provincial Grand Master (I think). When I said that I had visited the Irish Grand Lodge Hall and museum in Dublin he asked me what Masonic Lodge I was in. When I told him that I wasn't a Freemason and that I just had an interest in Fraternal Orders he looked surprised and mentioned that he had noticed my "2 1/2 "ring which is actually an emblem of the Royal Arch Purple Degree. I lecture (confer degrees) in all these Protestant Fraternal Orders. Also as I'm not a Freemason I do not know if the number 2 1/2 is used in Freemasonry AND the Royal Arch Purple in the same way the Compass And Square With The Letter G in the centre is used in Freemasonry AND the Royal Black Institution.
I like watching your videos as i am a new fellow brother only in soon coming up on my first year an still learning alot an your videos help me understand a little more
Brother, I am happy to hear that my videos are of some use for you. Keep seeking more light!
im 15 now and my teacher grandfather or uncle was a freemason but i hav 4 months left till im 16 and when im 18 i want to join freemasons first thing and im only 15 yrs old and i notice the freemason symbol everywhere and im the only one that sees it and i love it
is the saying 'try me' rooted in freemasonry? i find it interesting that everyday sayings have clues to how involved masons are in society... another one which springs to mind is "is he on the level" or "you're on my level..."
While "try me" and "on the level" are phrases you would hear masons say, I am unsure if we can claim them as having originated with us. However, it would not surprise me that they entered regular vocabulary due to Freemasonry.
"Being fair and square" "giving someone the 3rd degree" "black balled" etc. Lol. Take care brothern. Remember the obligations and have a great day!

Have you completed the Mark Mason degree? Or the Royal Arch Mariners? 🤔 if so, any basic information would be welcomed.
Here in the USA the Mark Master Degree is a part of the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, which is included in the York Rite. Yes, I have received that degree. I have not received the Royal Arch Mariner Degree. I will get to the York Rite Degrees after I complete speaking about the first 3.
What is a Mason of course, I'll look forward to those too. I am being exhaulted to the Royal arch chapter in June of this year. 😁
*LOL* oh how little you know.
How do you remove Madons from your life when they are harming you? I inquired about Masonry some years back and now they have damaged my pife so badly there simply isn't any excuse for what they've done.
Have not been to lodge in years i am 79 yrs what would i have to do to get active in a lodge ?
If you simply haven't been showing up, but have been paying dues, then just show up! If the issue is not paying dues, then here in Mississippi you would have to pay this years current dues and, if it has been more than 3 years since your last "dues paying" year, you would have to be investigated by a committee before the ballot is taken to re-activate you. My understanding is that this is an old hold-over from 200 years ago where someone might have missed lodge because they were imprisoned, but nobody knew they were. Whatever the case, those are the solutions.
I SO appreciate you!
Thank you! I appreciate you for watching and commenting!
Hello Jared. I recently was initiated as an EA in my lodge and have been getting into the swing of things. Love the channel and thanks for the videos! One question I have is do you have any good suggestions or techniques you've used to help with posting? I've been reading up on some memorization techniques and it's been helpful so far. Another thing I've heard is that Prince Hall masons are sometimes recognized and sometimes not by the various states grand lodges. Why is that? I'd also love to know what sort of books you would recommend for an EA to read? I've read Freemasonry for Dummies and found it very enlightening.
Matthew, I am not sure why I did not see your comment before. My apologies for the late reply.
1) I don't have any good tips for the memory work. I am one of those annoying people where it just "comes to me". I am by far not the best, but I do not struggle with it either.
2) For PHA vs Non-PHA, see this video: ruclips.net/video/7Z0h_XIxJbU/видео.html
3) I am not well read enough to pin down a specific list of books. Maybe a book is not even the best option for a new EA. Maybe getting past-issue copies of MSA Short-Talk Bulletins, or past Scottish Rite Journals, or Knights Templar Magazines, or The Journal of the Masonic Society, or The Journal of Masonic Research & Letters. I am sure I am missing some. Point being, making short articles are more digestible for an EA, rather than a full-sized book. That said, when pressured for a book list I normally just send people here: scottishrite.org/members/masonic-education/suggested-reading/
I live in Auroville. I'm sure lots of Masons live here. But how do I identify and approach them to see if I can be accepted as an apprentice?
Are there other states besides mine where the degrees are only thought mouth to ear?
That is the only way to get the recapitulation or catechism here in MS. My videos surely won't get you through that.
Hi, I've been really enjoying your channel, Maybe you can do a video about -
What Is A S.R 33RD Degree?
Why Is So Much Emphasis Placed On It?
And What Dose It Entail?
the Sun's core rotates 360'' every 33 days....
the human spine vertebra x 33
137 is the 33''rd prime number.
Cat = 317
13 x 7 = 91
3 x 17 = 51
51 + 91 = 142, = 7 x 3 = 21 + 12 = 33
1221 -:- 33 = 37
its 142 million miles to Mars.... ( G = 7 ) square = 90''' , compass = 47 = 137 (101)
I shall give it a try, Sam.
Brooklyn Sarcozi..;.. Masons are the custodian's of humanitys real history, its been coded into the texts using gema-tri-an ciphers...
the original language was spoken as number.. by a type 2 civilisation that lived throughout this solar system aprox' 3.2 million plus years ago
the 7 fold cipher is best used... ie
mason = 11621 = 11 = 2 = 22
seven = 65551 = 22
22 -:- 7 = 3.142
G is the 7''th letter...
Mars is the key...
Is it true that if you ask for the 33 degree they deny you and it can only bestowed to you. After watching your videos I was considering FM. I am a Christian and have concerns about the later degrees or symbolism. I understand you cannot spell out “secrets” but I find the York Rite interesting.
Marek Walter Veith you are having a laugh he repeats known lies regarding Freemasonry and his is a member of a Cult whos default settings are 1 Blame the Jesuits, 2 Blame Freemasons, 3, Blame the Catholic Church 4 Blame all 3
Freemasonry in its present form began in England not Babylon but if I want to watch a gish gashery of nonsense Veith does it for me
The outer circle...
hi I just had my initiation - however for the lesson of charity I already had my belongings given back is this make it illegitimate irregular or change ?
Leave please., the lodge Leeds to hell
I will be requesting a petition to join my local lodge. Is it best to request an application locally or from the grand lodge? Thank you for your videos.
Locally. All the Grand Lodge will do is forward your contact information to the local lodge anyway. Good luck!
Always challenge a Mason...by handshake, signs, & the lost word.
Do prince hall masons get all of masonry or just a part of masonry.
Well, said that way, I would have to say "part of", only because PHA lodges have not requested recognition in every jurisdiction, and even in some of those visitation is not yet permitted, or there are other limiting rules. But, not being PHA, I cannot say what else may or may not be missing, or what PHA may have that the rest of us might be missing!
Prince Hall Masons get all and the same as any other Mason. I was raised in a Prince Hall Lodge - Fred Douglass Lodge #99 F.& A.M. and later applied and received duel membership in a A.F.& A.M. Lodge - Albert Pike Lodge # 303. Both in Kansas. There is no difference between the two, if someone say there is, they are confused and need to review their obligation... Unfortunately there are still some States that do not recognize Prince Hall lodges, their loss, we can only admonish these Brothers to study harder and look to the East for more light.
All !
They better have the same. As far as I know they do.

In the Dallas / fort Worth area. You will see alot of guys with the square and compass hats, and jackets. . .
I am in Honduras, and the Mason Lodges are super different here. I see some of the tradition, but it is interesting the differences from Texas. Seriously thinking of getting back home. Sure my brothers miss me
Sure is amazing how much the Craft can differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Can u make a video on what happens to a person posing as a mason.
What you may be looking for is in here: ruclips.net/video/IG_TAwgMNYI/видео.html
My family never said anything about the Freemason. I am putting my pennies in the jar. Cleaning myself up. My house and getting ready. My parents know everyone in their town. I know someone there and asked my mom if she could tell him who I am. He knew me as a child. I told my mom that I need a petition. She started crying. We never spoke of masonry. It's just a little strange how proud she was when I told her that I want to be a Freemason. He was gone. Still need a petition. No hurry. Found out her grandfather was a a mason. There's more. None of my business until they tell me. Thank you Grand Master.
It is a touching story, but I sincerely doubt your mother will get you a petition. You need to find a local Master Mason.
@@WhatisaMason ha. Yes sir.
I was just saying that had a lot of masons in my family. Both sides. I talked to one of my uncles. They never said anything about it. It got around in my family. I just got a text that my mom was proud. I didn't want to tell people that I was a mason if I make it. I want this so much. I'm working on my house and making myself a better person.
Did you end up joining the Freemasons? I hope you didn’t. It is a satanic cult that will lead you to eternal destruction.
Hi brother Jared! Thank you for your channel. I'm from Brazil and I'm already a master mason. I was initiated in 2019 in a Lodge from the state of Bahia northeast of my country. My Lodge practices the Ancient and Accpeted Scottish Rite. But the thing is that the modes of recognition I know is in portuguese. The other day I was looking for a language partner from the U.S. in one of those video chat apps so I can better my spoken English and somebody saw my square and compass tattoo. This guy started asking me some questions that I knew it was he trying to identify me as a brother, but I'm not sure if I answered him in the way he would know I was his brother. I wish you could assist me on how to identify myself as a freemason in English. In my own Lodge it woudn´t be possible because they don't speak English as a second language. Fraternal regards from Bahia - Brazil
greetings from England. i wish we had the open attitude the way my brothers do in the USA . i see nothing wrong with promoting the craft and our lodges . we have visitors regularly from America who have all the things we are not allowed to own or use . i would like the outside world to be aware of our good works rather than it being done in secret and then have people abuse my lodge or province afterwards . Greetings and every good wish from temperance lodge 2557 in Northumberland .
Things you are not allowed to own or use - I presume this is some references to a monitor or cipher of the ritual work?
What is a Mason no . i am talking about things like bumper stickers. base ball caps . etc etc etc . we are not allowed to promote the craft or our lodge . we cannot organise events for charity which promote the craft etc . charitable given must be anonymous normally we will not even tell them it came from us .... ie a cheque with a lodges name on it . if we where more open it would only be a good thing but its not allowed by grand lodge England.
Well, that is certainly a different culture than here.
an example would be we make massive regular donations to local churches and cathedrals . this is given to help with the up keep of the buildings only . the churches are happy to take it with one hand then destroy the craft in public . refuse us entry to churches for services etc . its the double standard that upsets me . i am sure if people knew what we did to help both local and national charities and individuals their attitute towards us would change . its education and an open attitude towards our neighbours that i would like to change . this is already the case in the USA and i see it as a good thing . however our grand lodge does not although it is changing slowly.
What is a Mason your right . i visit the USA regularly and the difference is massive . your culture is much much better than ours . keep up the great work . good site .

We're told the only ways to know for sure is if you sit with another man in Lodge, or if another person you know to be a Mason vouches him to you as such. Another way is if you participate in the Examination of a Visitor.
Agreed - just a note - the intent of the video was to answer the Q of a non-mason about how to find a mason so they could ask about joining - not necessarily how one mason knows another.
Do you have any info on the Tall Cedars Of Lebanon?
Only that there are none anywhere around where I live. That's not a joke - I do mean the masonic fraternal body. Sorry.
Hey Jared , I have two questions for you . First of all what does the skull in the background represent ? , and does it tie to freemasonry? . The second question is about the rituals , do Freemasons know what there rituals represent or mean ? And at which degree that the Freemason will understand or master all the rites and rituals?
Aziz Delta...;... the skull has 22 platlets and 7 holes...
22 -:- 7 = 3.14 (_Pi_)
seven = 65551 = 22
twenty two = 745172 742 = 39
Great questions. That skull one has come up a lot recently. I shall add them to the list, thank you!
What is a Mason What is a Mason at 3:52 you said how much that you paid to be a part of a masonic lodge could you explain to us also if you could explain what benefits you to be in the free masons and please be honest and have your freedom sir to explain everything as you will . Thank you
I'm not sure about the skull part. I have heard from some that it reminds us all of our mortality but I'm not 100% on that. I can answer the question about the rituals. After I was raised and became a Master Mason I realized at that point is when the journey of learning begins. But I have heard the saying so many times and finally realized how true it is. You get out of Freemasonry what you put into it. If you seek out to understand what the rituals represent and/or mean then you grow as a Mason and get so much out of it but if you don't seek out to understand or to learn and just attend Lodge then it won't be as exciting and you won't get as much out of it.
For the dues card that Jared talked about the dues for each Lodge can be different from one Lodge to another so it really depends. Also I know for the state that I live in there is an initiation fee that must be paid. It all goes towards making sure the Lodge keeps the lights on and the Grand Lodge of the state you live in keeps their lights on. But to me personally it's more of an investment then dues that you have to pay. Plus for me personally the biggest benefit that I get out of Freemasonry is the brotherly community that we have.
Interesting video.
I have run into people who were wearing masonic symbols or while I was wearing masonic symbols (shirt, hat, ring) and invariably we will just have a quick "Hello Brother" moment. No "trying" needed as no deep masonic conversation took place, simple a hello and a back and forth about what Lodge we belong to.
Here in PA part of the Mentorship program is to teach newly made MMs what they need to know to visit other lodges. We are also required to emulate the process in lodge once a year.
That's a valid point. I suppose I focused too much on the idea of "knowing". I agree with you, just a casual conversation requires no validation.
I am happy to hear that learning how to be tried is a part of your usual education.
Keith Curtis I just got station in PA, is there any way I can contact you in regards to start the process sir?
It all depends on where in PA you are. Your best bet is to go to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania website: pagrandlodge.org/ In the upper right corner of the Home Page, click on the "Lodge Finder." Put in your zip code and a list of Lodges near you will be listed. It will show if they have a website and provide a link. I suggest you check out several near you, contact the Secretary and tell him you are interested in the Fraternity. The Secretaries will take it from there. Make sure you fit in with the Brothers as the dynamics of Lodges do differ and you may feel more comfortable in one than another. You might also want to check out the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania's website www.princehall-pa.org/ and do the same. Their listing of lodges is under the tab "Organizational / Affiliations Links, click on that then "Subordinate Lodges." Without knowing you personally or where in PA you reside that is the best I can help at this time. Also, keep in mind there is a time of residence requirement, so if you just arrived in PA you may have to wait until your petition can be accepted. Please accept my good wishes for a successful journey.
Keith Curtis thank you for the knowledge and information sir.
Send the black man to the Black Lodge that's a good brother
Think you for this information.very much insight
You are welcome, thank you for watching.
Hey brother, I am a fellow brother who started my journey at the Stellenbosch Lodge 2646 in South Africa. My question pertains to my journey. I started as an entered apprentice of which I was well excited for. However a short while after my initiation, I was offered my dream job. This was 4 years ago. I have desired to carry on with my degrees however I do not get the time as I have to travel for work and where I live now (Girona-Spain) there are no English lodges. My question is how can I work on my craft without being part of a lodge due to my convocation?
Brother, first off, congratulations on the job - few people get to say they were able to attain their dream job. That's wonderful!
As for the education side of things - of course you'll be highly limited for, primary, two reasons: 1) Different jurisdictions are just a little different, one from another, so even if you could attend a lodge in Spain, and speak the language, it likely wouldn't match up 100% to what you learned in South Africa, and, 2) Because some things likely aren't written down anyway. I say likely because there are some jurisdictions that publish, to their members, a full cipher of the ritual - every single word is there, but in some form of a code.
There are, of course, my videos, numerous books, podcasts, and the like, but will they teach you want South Africa expects you to know? Doubtful.
The only other option that comes to mind would require you to find a lodge you can speak the language in. Here in MS we can request for another lodge in another jurisdiction to do "courtesy work" - that is where you would keep working on and receive your Degrees in Spain, but your membership resides in South Africa. Generally in this situation the lodge helping out (the Spain Lodge) would keep your degree fees, etc, as "compensation" for doing the work, but your annual dues would still be paid to South Africa.
Does any of that help?
@@WhatisaMason , W-Brother thank you for your timely reply. I have, between our communications, reached out to my W-Brothers is South Africa and they have advised me on how to proceed. The short of this is that only once I can root myself in a lodge wherever it be fit, only then can the Stellenbosch lodge carry out the duties as laid out by yourself and our W-Brothers in Stellenbosch. I have however for the time being started following your channel in the efforts to refresh the lessons, unhidden by the Lodge, and to learn new Lessons, also Unhidden and then wait till I have the possibility to rejoin my Brothers to learn the Hidden. Be Blessed W-Brother and thank you for your contribution to EA's such as myself. G-d Speed.
So glad to hear you have a solution to work towards. Study well, Brother!
Hey Jared... I enjoy your videos... I'm a 32nd degree Mason from Middletown Ohio Jefferson lodge number 90... Have you ever thought about asking someone else to answer the questions that you're not experienced with?
90 + 47 = 137 (101)
= 238 = 13
195-238-2-15
I have, but generally that would mean having them on the video itself, so they can explain it without having to go through me - and my schedule usually means I record multiple videos in 1 sitting, which are then "published" over the course of a few weeks. It is hard for me to coordinate having guests for those recording - but I am trying!
nunchuku 101 Hollie Grieg was a hoax and nothing to do with Freemasonry
wow! Very honest and clear. Thank you
My pleasure. Thank you!
Haha thanks for posting this video brother. Before joining this was a subject I searched a little. So I had to watch this one. Anyways I really wanted to say good input on being proficient in being tried. (You know how the work is after a while...) Thanks to your video I will keep this in mind. I will be holding SS this September and onwards, affiliating, visiting when I can, and really I've found the work very easy after a few cracks and layers.. Jarred your videos have been an inspiration as well as insightful unto my endeavors and I cannot thank you enough. This is only the beginning. Thanks brother down south.

Thank you for all the kind words! I wish you all the best of luck with your SS position. We don't use stewards here, so I am not really sure what all that involves, but I hope you can make the most of it! Thanks as always for watching!
SS/Grand Dishwasher! LOL It's a joke, though out Stewarts are responsible to the JW for taking care of meals, serving and maintaining (cleaning) they are also our primary coaches. A most noble duty!
Great work
Thanks!
(Proverbs 6:12-15) "¶ A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. {13} He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; {14} Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. {15} Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy."
Interesting that you feel this applies to Freemasonry, and how scripture can be so manipulated. After all, while I don't recall any scriptures speaking to if Christ ever winked, he certainly spoke with his feet, in that he traveled all around to preach The Word, and taught with his fingers by performing many miracles that involved touching. Freemasons certainly do not sow discord, or engage in mischief nor are difficult to deal with.
Interesting that you didn't quote this verse from that chapter:
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
That is the essence of what Freemasonry teaches. Follow the commandments and the law, correct Brethren who are not.
What is a Mason He probably picked Proverbs6vs12-15 because it related more to the five points of fellowship that deals with passing a secret name or chant from mouth to ear which is a ancient magical practice. No real Christian(which means Christ like) would ever take part of Masonry, but many go into it shutting their eyes to ignore the truth because of their massive appetite for deception. You are in over your head, take heed while you have breath in your lungs, for a watchman has informed you of the danger.
@@lamarpfleger4108 Masons respect all religions. Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it against any religion. Religion isn't discussed and neither is politics.
Bible version are good. Proverbs especially !! God allows the rain to fall on the Godly man and the Wicked man.
And God is the ONLY judge. NOT YOU.
Always informative & much enlightenment comes from you! Thank's again !👌👁👍
Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and sharing the videos!
Hand gestures and certain words are also modes of recognition however, the dues card is the most secure check.
Having sat in lodge with the person is, arguably, the most secure, but a dues card, properly signed and sealed, is right up there, for sure. All those other modes of recognition can be learned online, though a non-mason will likely not be so "smooth" about giving them.
How does one find light once it has been darkned
Relight it. One can only find what they are motivated to.
Hello I am a fellow craft Mason. Do you think it's wise for us or and entered apprentice to engage a Master Mason outside of our lodge? I was told by someone in our Lodge to just be careful for fakes and Prince Hall. Since unfortunately our jurisdiction doesn't recognize them. I'm starting to feel it is best to just wait until we are raised to engage any one outside of Lodge.
noelj317 it’s unfortunate that your jurisdiction does not recognize us PHA masons. I would greet you the same as I would any brother. Don’t be scared to talk with Master Masons outside your lodge. They will be excited to meet a new brother.
Yea I have the fellow craft symbol as my background on my phone and some people call me brother sometimes. I'm not sure if it is cause of that or because I am black lol. I have been learning a lot and I am looking forward to learning more as I go along.
I agree with Tyrrell, it isn't as if a MM will turn away from you because you are a FC. Just be sure to identify yourself as such, that is all. That said, it is important for you to be careful.
noelj317 I'm a Master Mason in Arkansas, and it's perfectly acceptable to engage me as a FC or EA. A Mason is a Mason.
It’s definitely unfortunate your jurisdiction doesn’t recognize us .PHA history (original origins of freemasonry)is older than theirs . Something else taken from us ( ppl of color ) and taken and twisted for themselves then have the audacity to say “ we don’t recognize you “ lmbo . I won’t go into that . Be bless brethren.
I think this is the best video :-) but i didnt watch them all.
Several people got a chuckle out of this one: ruclips.net/video/4lD0dQlXx8Q/видео.html
Such Perfect Wording and Answers. Looking to Raised Close to August.
Nice vid. But I wonder : I'm pretty sure that one of your rules says to help any Brother from other Lodges and so.. how could you help him if you don't recognize him? I think that you receive a certain type of "education" (gesture, words) that helps you to find brothers all over the world.
Question, What is the stone that the builders rejected.😊
Superficially, it refers to three scriptures: Luke 20:17, Matthew 21:42 and Mark 12:10. Those scriptures, in their own right, are parables, if you will, "hiding" a deeper meaning. In Freemasonry they also have a deeper meaning, but it depends which degree you apply it to and how "esoteric" you want to get, as to what the stone really is. I, personally, would say that the "stone" refers to an individual character trait.
The scriptures are used in the Mark Master Degree, which really should go between the FC and MM degrees, but in practice is a part of the York Rite here in the USA, and is the first degree conferred in that system.
Blessed is the lion whom the man eats and the lion becomes part of the man. But cursed is the man whom the lion eats and the man becomes the lion. There is only one way to eat a lion and only a few there be. Thank you for responding. Not many men still alive.
Did you know my friend ,that knowledge is used to feed lions in order to kill the man. 😊 It’s actually a pretty slick man trap. 😊 And many, many are trapped by it. Including Kings ! 😊 Have a great day !
Gaylord Allin help me join Freemasons,
My friend I’m not a free builder, I choose to follow the way of the spirit, not the flesh. Our flesh man is dangerous and destructive. It betrays itself and others in its selfishness. In the end it completely cuts itself off from the light and dies. People are deceived if they believe light is knowledge, when actually it is true love for one another.
How to identify a masón ? They usually have globe propaganda in their studio ...
Those darn Freemasons teaching all that science mumbo-jumbo.
BZAGRADE I want to join
Chad Swans is a flat earther.
Yes! That's the first thing i noticed. Top comment indeed 👍
Bingo
Hi I travel a lot for work any really want to join any advice for someone in this situation ? might be in a country next for 12months to 24, is it possible to join
You would have to reach out to someone in the area where you currently reside. As far as I am aware all areas have requirement for residency, but those requirements are different from area to area. For example, here in MS, living in MS for 6 months is enough for you to "establish residency", and become a Freemason in Mississippi.
I have a very sensitive subject do you have an email I could reach you at.it has to do with masons and a 33 degree grandmaster very pvt issue if u don't mind

Why do I smell something bogus here?
My lord , my god is th.._..._..._...
Of course a Freemason would have a globe on their desk....
Globes are cool, why wouldn't you want one in your office?
@@RealCasperMan because they are gay... Why are you gay?
What are the requirements for joining? I'm in California. A US citizen.
Here in MS you must profess a belief in Deity, a belief in the Resurrection of the Body, and a belief in the Immortality of the soul. How you interpret that should never be questioned.
I am the WJW in scottish rite Masonic lodge but i have not taken my royal arch degree because I want to know everything about blue lodge first I have seen brethren taken this degree but heads are empty
I just had a call today and signed my application. April 13th I meet members. Wish me luck.
Good luck!
@Drew Tee If only you knew.
@@WhatisaMason Hey buddy. I got voted in. Hopefully do my EA degree next month. So excited.
my husband is a Mason, yet he, and most of the men who attend his lodge, wear practically no masonic regalia or insignia outside of lodge meetings.
in my own personal experience, anyone flashing a lot of masonic bling is either an outright fake, or probably part of a clandestine lodge.
There are many masons who wear and or display "Bling"...doesn't make them fake. I am a master mason, 32 degree Scottish Rite, as well as York Rite and Shriner, I have masonic hats, ties, pins, vests, jackets, rings, and car decals.
Astronauts are all Mason's. Look at their rings. Space agencies have secrets too.
I have a few questions after watching this:
I am a FC in the United Kingdom. My lodge does not require submission of a proficiency to pass to the next degree. To me perfection was key and I enjoyed doing my part word for word (I understood that it was the link to the Brethren who came before us so it was important to get it right and not change it), so when I heard about the proficiencies I really liked the idea. My only issue is that I can’t ask you for one as: 1. You don’t know if I’m actually an FM
2. You wouldn’t be able to give me the answers
In consideration of the above, what books can I read that my lodge library might have that will give me the same knowledge? Are there any good lay books that do a decent job?
What Province are you in TJ and which ritual does your Lodge work?
Once you have taken your 3rd Degree, get a copy of the Book of Lectures (the green book). This contains the most complete catechism for each degree rather than the shortened questions in Emulation.
@@scientiautverum how do I find out which ritual we work? I didn't know if there was more than 1
@@lazarus6125 yes, there are several and some lodges work their own. Two of the most common are Emulation and Universal. If you have a dark blue degree book, it will say on the title page or intro which version it is. If you don't have a book, just ask your sponsor or lodge mentor.
Some old lodges (mine dates from 1755 - Newstead Lodge No. 47 in Nottingham) will have aspects of their own ritual which are not worked anywhere else. It is these quirks that William Preston tried to capture as he realised that, at the Union, these odd bits of ritual would be lost - these then formed the basis of the Book of Lectures.
What do you think about The Order of DeMolay. Seeing that I am one just curious on your opinion
Well, I never was a DeMolay, nor is there one near me - so it is hard for me to really form an opinion. However, I do know many Master Masons who once were in DeMolay, and they seem to have a high opinion of it - and that is good enough for me!
Thank you for your opinion and I am now thinking about going into masonry because of it.
It's hard to ask a question about something you don't know anything about because of the secrecy. It's hard to ask a question about something you have to keep a secret because of the secrecy. But hey I do enjoy your channel 😁
You are correct, those things do make it difficult.
there is a reason people keep secrets LOL!..nothing good ever hides in the dark. Sorry, not sorry.
Yet you expect people to believe you when you take an oath to keep secrets? That means you will lie, sooo what the fuck do any of your words or answers mean when it's just a bunch of bullshit!?. Everyone with half a brain knows what Freemasonry really is and where it originated from and what the symbols mean and what you practice. There are videos about it everywhere on RUclips,there are documentaries about it, and only a fool would not double check the info or triple check the info and see that it is all correct and you are indeed satanists!
Totally disgusting pieces of scum that will rot forever but you will find that out soon enough when this country and the world collapses under the New World Order that your high up little buddies have created centuries ago, all wearing the same stupid aprons with the same stupid symbols, and it is now being filled out and completed.
Hope you enjoyed your life and you really feel like you chose correctly because you will pay for those choices for eternity. I would say good luck, but luck certainly isn't on your side, nor will it help. Only Jesus can do that, but you have turned your back on him & you will pay the consequences.
Of course when you see one wearing a Mason ring, shirt or cap, he's probably a Mason.
Or he bought it from a kiosk in the mall, or off Amazon. Might not be overtly likely, but possible.
Or a man may belong to a Fraternal Order that also uses the compass and square with the letter G in the middle eg The Royal Black Institution,which I confer degrees in but I'm not a mason, which is based mainly over here in Northern Ireland but have a few overseas "Preceptories" including Canada and USA
That's a great video Brother! I just wach it again, after months. There is a phrase that a Brother in my Lodge said: "If you see a good man in your ride, it is more possible that he is a Mason. If he is not a good man, it's more possible that he is not a Mason"
Of course that phrase has humor on it, but again I like it
It would be nice if it were so clear-cut, but sadly there have been men made Masons who ought not to have been, and who's actions have besmirched Freemasonry.
I totally agree with you, Brother. I just like that kind of dreaming-thought of the Order
Is it true you use statements such as are you travelling to identify other Masons? Also how did you decide it was a good time in your life to join?
Some do - I do not - because those are not "standardized" questions. You can hear my "why I joined" story, here: ruclips.net/video/Wy7NEDJsNeI/видео.html
That's a Past Master's emblem.
Yes, the one on my ring and shirt is a Past Master's emblem, at least outside of Pennsylvania it is.
Good one! No 47th Proposition of Euclid for you!
Keith, could you email me? jared at what is a mason dot org. I have a Q about this topic for you, but if you reply here it will likely get lost.
I'm not a Mason, but I also recognized that. My dad has a pin with the same emblem, he's a 32nd degree Past Master. I wasn't aware that's what it was, but after seeing the comment, it makes sense. I always wondered why it was different from the regular, just never thought to ask.
A "Master Mason" and "Master" designate 2 different things. A Master Mason is a degree you receive which is the culmination of the Blue Lodge. A Master or Past Master is the office that is served for a 1 year term as being the "leader" of the particular Blue Lodge the person belongs to.
The 32nd Degree is the last degree in the Scottish Right. This is an "appendant body" of Masonry which means you must be a "Master Mason" before you can join. The same holds true of the York Rite and Shrine.
Hopefully this helps.
Another excellent video Brother!
Thank you very much!
Liar. Stallix== liar. #fakenews
How do you tell if someone is a master zionist?
ask them..
How does Freemasonry handle additional fraternity memberships? e.g. is it mutually exclusive, or are some taboo?
If there are any that are taboo, I don't know about it. We don't ask perspective or current members what other fraternities or civic organizations they are associated with.
What is a Mason Wow quick reply! Thanks for the clarification
Hey,
Bit of a random one but what’s your favourite food?
The following is the deceptive process of the higher levels of freemasonry; above 33 degree level: (Proverbs 6:16-19) "¶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: {17} A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, {18} An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, {19} A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
Yet again we start out with a false assumption. There are no degrees "above" the 33rd. First, the "highest" degree is that of Master Mason - the 3rd Degree. The Scottish Rite, which has the degrees that culminate at the honorary 33rd degree, is an appendant body - it is to the side, not above, a Master Mason. Either way, no other Freemasonic organization uses any number above 33.
As it happens, Freemasonry despises all of those things as well. We "meet on the level", because we aren't proud about our stations or accomplishments, we are equal. TRUTH is a principal tenant of Freemasonry. We specifically teach to not shed blood and to protect the innocent. One primary purpose of a brotherhood is to NOT sow discord. I cannot fathom how you feel this has anything to do with Freemasonry. And, as I cited in your other comment, you cut short of a vital scripture in this chapter:
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
That is the essence of what Freemasonry teaches. Follow the commandments and the law, correct Brethren who are not.
+What is a Mason Amen to that brother. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
What is a Mason you repeat your bs to get the weak to believe you, you lies run deep, masons love harming those whom members dislike without regard of true justice.
@@michaelanderson-to3yb
I saw a Master Mason kicked out of the fraternity for doing harm to a person who was disliked.
Is this a serious channel?
Did you read the about section, look into the videos and the comments, and check out the website and facebook page before asking your question?
What is a Mason. No. It just looks funny. Like a parody. Pins, rings and secret memberships. Like a boys club. Sorry. Don’t mean to offend. I am a Christian. I just don’t see the need for anything more than that. Is it just for brotherhood or spiritual salvation, or what? What is the purpose? Thanks for your time. I am not trying to be argumentative. I am curious.
Thank you for your candor. It is serious. But lets be fair, how many people in Church have you seen with a Cross pin or ring? Membership isn't secret at all - after all, here I am, and I am one of many men with a RUclips Channel, Podcast, Website, etc. Our lodges are online, including pictures and names of our leaders.
There is no spiritual salvation in Freemasonry. We specifically tell Men that that is what Church is for, and not to try to find any such thing in Freemasonry, because it is not there. We even tell them to ensure that they keep attending Church. The purposes are many. Yes, brotherhood is a part of it, but so is the sharing of ideas, up to and including no less than the hopeful expectation of the freeing of all mankind - freedom of religion, of thought, of government. Not to overthrow any of that, mind you, but we are all aware that there have been tyrannical governments and faiths in the past. We want to ensure the whole of humanity is well educated and able to establish fair government, can route out tyrannical faith leaders, etc.
All that said, the fact is that in most cases it is a treated as a club. The high minded ideals of enlightenment have fallen aside to being a social order. However, there is some believe that it is changing. Time shall tell.
reylucio it seems all you need to be a mason is cash and free time.
thats the way to share a meal with some "friends" and learn staff right?
you could also do a sport i imagine is healthier..
i m corious in masonery. but the need of doing stupid rituals and have to pay, smells like not serious.
if you want to study philosofy (politics, ethics, law) , music, medicine, math.
there is plenttty of info every where. books etc.
and you don t need stupid rituals. just effort.
if learning enlighten s ... why is all so secret?? is it for the money?
What is a Mason please answer back
What if I'm not a active Mason, and don't have my dues card, do I need to get
Do I need to get raised again, and what if I can't find my name in the books?
As they say, if it is not on paper, it did not happen. I wager they would require you to go through it again. If the error is at the Grand Lodge, and the Lodge either did not report it to them, or the Grand Lodge did not properly process their report, the Lodge could go through their minutes and provide that information to the Grand Lodge to fix that error. If the Lodge has no record of it... then it did not happen.

At no time have I ever heard or known of devil worship associated with masonry.
Just occult worship

they believe in Anti-christ

Hello brother how would a British Freemason in the United States recognise a Freemason from the United Kingdom.
you poor poor misled fool. Oh Lord and Heavenly Father, I pray they find your Son and repent and receive Salvation.
You, Sir, are mislead, if you think Freemasonry leads people away from God and Christ. Quite the opposite. We make quite a point about revering them and instruct every Mason to attend Church for their Salvation.
What is a Mason furthermore there are plenty of homosexual masons, they have been known to gangstalk enemies, abuse the legal system, abuse the court system by not recusing themselves from case fellow masons are a party to and much more. you're a liar.
Gay and fake
I must disagree, it's not masonry that leads you away from God. It's the witchcraft of which they use to practice that haunts generations today. But hey, the fact that they were satanist is out there for the world to see I don't understand how people think most modern day masons are satanist. misled
What is a Mason you pretend you believe in god but that is referring to lucifer
