"This is now a way of change to confirm the redemption and all things of the days of Israel, the man pulled him out and bravely to his neighbor ..." Ruth 4: 7 (Masonic Bible)
During the monastic ceremony entered, candidates are ordered from the Bible of the Reference Bible above, from the Bible of Freemasonry. This means indicating both confirmation of contract and complete execution of terms In that contract's Freemasonry, this symbolism is based on the dignity of the contract made between the candidate and the Freemasons agency It is aimed to communicate. For Israelis in the Ruth era there was nothing more essential than men and women walking across hot sands, muds and rocks than shoes and sandals. As a result, giving shoes to another person not only conveyed the importance of the commitment but also conveyed the sense that the person given the shoes is as important as the one who gives it.
This symbolism is repeated by various lessons through Masonry as each mason recognizes the importance of his pledge and promise is the purpose of craft. I rarely observe such a promise. The hospital operated by the Schrinners disappears that Marys suddenly is not important to take care of helplessness. If the group of Masons turned away from the needs of others, families for the elderly are no longer financed. If we conclude that self-interest is more important than helping others, individual freemasonry lodge members will not experience random acts of kindness by their brothers. This is an agreement or promise made by each Mason that ensures that the world will experience the work of Freemasonry's labor. But like other freemasonic symbolism, there are other elusive lessons to learn from the script of Freemason's Bible in Ruth's book.
"This is now a way to change about the redemption and concern in order to ascertain everything in the Israeli era and the man was abandoned
Brave it on him and his neighbors ... "
Rutsu 4: 7
"Remove one shoe and hand it to another shoe" symbolizes reimbursement and exchange, which is equally important for Masons. It is interesting to notice some changes, $ 1 or 2 dollars, or nothing at all, for those who regularly attend religious services and observe the collection plate passing. It is enough for those who simply attended the service. This is because it represents a sacrifice of time. Likewise, Mason working for livelihood frequently observes civic work of time, food, shelter, compassionate, although fellow employees are loudly looking for cheers for the poor while on vacation Are you doing it? It is in this area that redemption and exchange apply.
Theologians frequently often remind the audience from the grace of God about the original corruption of the people. These grace is commonly called "original sin". The villain here is temptation, many of which have been written so far. Seduction represents the transition from obedience to disobedience. People who have obeyed the temptation that invaded his life necessarily need redemption and exchange to regain the original adaptive character. The Bible provides us with Alegre of Adam and Eve at the Garden of Eden. Everyone makes efforts to relieve their passion and tells us the importance of protecting against all humanity.
In the Genesis of the Freemason's Bible, Eve listened to the voice of the serpent, thought that the tree of knowledge was good for food, ate and eat what she wanted, completely in violation of God's order. There is no symbol of inequality recorded anywhere in our Bible and other traditional stories. The snake's voice is the creature whose intelligence is the most advanced and the consciousness is not a vertical or spiritual plane but is horizontal or towards the substance's plane. The intelligence of Adam and Eve before the fall was completely vertical. Their eyes were not open to their own "naked", they were all conscious of vertical or God. From autumn, their understanding of their condition fundamentally changed. The fig leaves that suddenly recognized their nude body were adjusted to cover the body part of the most private human beings, and their awareness was consumed in relation to material aspects.
Here, the snake symbolizes the principle of power apart from God. Remembering the history and stories in the Bible is related to a journey to the living God of man. The temple is identified in the temple. Publications encourage generations to comply with his law. War is being carried out among his causes. People suffer by following his words. People look for a savior to save salvation. Along the way, the guy also discovers that the true principle of obedience is a devotion that can not afford to the only voice from the top. Freemason generally refuses Mason and his family to explore the way of salvation. It is always known to everyone everywhere that Freemasonry is not a religion.
Those who follow Jewish faith will find the way to redempt and change Moses' law, including the Ten Commandments. Like Buddhists Hindu, Buddhists travel in the way of inner tranquility and seek peace, each of which illuminates the soul. Christians decide to accept the divinity of Jesus Christ. Muslims will align themselves to the teachings of Mohammed and his descendants and try to secure the proper place in the world that obeys God. But what about Mason not choosing formal religion to follow? If he does not stick to a specific doctrine, will a journey from depravity to destiny fail? Freemasonry tells such a man that he will not fail if he gives the voice of the highest architect of the universe to the sole voice from the top.
The existence of all humans is about choice - the choice to live in the dark as well as the choice to live in the light. Human beings are chosen based on the philosophy fostered by the greatest mind of history, full of religious doctrines surrounded by philosophy. History, literature, science are also lying in front of everyone. A well-chosen one chose the way to lead him directly to obedience. Humans were changed when they decided to ask God to redeem, rebuild and reveal the will of God by the Creator. I try to understand how to apply that will to my life. And I will confide in the belief that the door will be opened to the door of a great architect. You can never open the door with force. I will wait for it to be opened by the will of God.
It is definitely easy to distinguish between obedient people. He avoids anger and replaces it with friendly words for his colleagues. He acknowledges my mistake, apologizes to others and decides to work better next time. He serves freely, gives comfort, caring and valuable time. He will visit widows, orphans, the elderly. He avoids conflict and makes harmony. He understands various perspectives and manages self pride adequately. And he regularly kneels appeal to humble praise and to the Father almighty of the universe, one of the living Gods. Simply put, he is a Freemason.
