ART IN FREEMASONRY The Power of Symbols and Creativity in Freemasonry By now you probably already know how important art is to Freemasonry, but there are several reasons why. The way in which Freemasonry delivers its lessons, is through allegories illustrated by symbols. Therefore, there are many stories, which are easier to remember than simply pure facts and those allegories have their respective symbols. By this way, one only has to look at the symbol, which recalls the story associated with it and thereby the applicable lessons to our life. "Freemasonry is a Science of Morality, Veiled in Allegory and Illustrated by Symbols" [clear-line]Therefore, it is important that not only we expose ourselves to the symbols depicted in Lodge, but also that we incorporate into our surroundings, those symbols and thereby those lessons, which help us become the best version of ourselves. Regardless whether the symbols you surround yourself with are in the form of Jewelry, Masonic Paintings or auto emblems, the important thing is that these symbols are there to aid you in your effort to improve yourself as you travel through life. In this episode we discuss the following topics: I share some of my recent experiences while traveling for speaking engagements. A archaeological discovery that suggests that Neanderthals might have been the authors of cave art dating back over 40,000 years. The power of art to shape a person’s life. How as creators, we can put our talents to work to inspire others to become better. The fulfillment derived from Masonic Travel. The efficiency of using symbols to help the spectator recollect lessons, stories and ideas. Art in Freemasonry extends beyond the symbols used to illustrate our lessons. Other artistic mediums like Poetry, Painting and Music have been used efficiently to share Masonic Education. How Art has helped me cope with difficult things in my life and share a story that could help others get through their difficult times in life. IS FACEBOOK CONTROLLED BY THE FREEMASONS?
