On the
upper steps of spiritual unfoldmend stands the Master Mason, who spiritually
represents the graduate from the school of esoteric learning. In ancient
symbols he is represented as an old man leaning upon a staff, his long white
beard upon his chest, and his deep piercing eyes sheltered by the brows of a
philosopher. He is in truth old, not in years, but in wisdom and understandin,
which are the only true measurement of age. Through years and lives of labor he
has found the staff of life and truth upon which he leans. He no longer depends
upon the words of others but upon the still voice that speaks from the heart of
his own being. There is no more glorious position that a man may hold than that
of a Master Builder, who has risen by labor through the degrees of human
consciousness. Time is the differentiation of eternity devised by man to
measure the passage of human events. On the spiritual planes of Nature it is
the space of distance between the stages of spiritual growth and hence is not
measurable by material means. Many a child comes into this world a Grand Master
of the Masonic School, while many a revered and honored brother passes silently
to rest without having gained admittance to its gate. The Master Mason is one
who is full, pressed down and brimming over with the experience he has gained
in his slow pilgrimage up the winding stairs.
This makes me think of Julian Assange. Free Assange.
