CLC - Master Mason - 05.30.17

T HE L OST W ORD The search for “that which was lost” is not for a particular word. It is allegorical, and Scripture gives us a clue. In Genesis, we learn that creation occurred when God uttered the word Light, a word Masons use when referring to knowledge or enlightenment. Knowledge of Truth is the ultimate Light, and it is this search which is at the center of our aspirations as Masons. In our craft lodges, there is one substitute for the true Word, which you were taught along with the proper form of its utterance between Master Masons when appropriate. However, the search for the true Word, the revelation of Truth, is unique to each Mason. Each must follow his particular and unique pathway to a greater understanding of himself, the craft, the world and his purpose within it.
